    Spurs

    Resting three starters... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/spurs-rest ... --nba.html Boban is entertaining as hell. Between the no look behind-the-back passes the other day and casual power-dunks here... He's got gaps, and may not be a 'full-time NBA caliber' type player, but MAN that's fun to...

    Spurs Hire a Woman, News Persons Freak Out

    http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/8/5/59 ... purs-coach (Or any of a billion links from news sites eager to have an Opinion on a Thing.) I was thinking/hoping Matt Bonner would be the next assistant coach.

    First Half...

    So, whoever is still around to remember me know I'm an old timer seahawks fan. I point that out for the evil traitor cries I'll hear, later. I'm also a Texans fan, which started because I like having a 'local' team to cheer on... And they're not the Cowboys. I'm historically a Hawks jinx...

    Belated NBA 2K13 Stuff

    Did we not do a NBA 2K13 thread? Usually Kyle and I are ON this. Anyway, the Finals rekindled my interest in building a Post-Duncan era Spurs association. As usual, I completely scrapped that idea and went with an attempt to build up the absolute crappiest team in the league. SO, after a...

    UTSA 5-0

    Now, I'm not going to act all Boise State, here... But it's still pretty cool. In their first year of big-boy football, UT San Antonio just stomped NM State to go 5-0 on the season. Haven't really played anyone, yet, but a second-year team playing with 6 seniors and a ton of walk-ons is...

    NBA 2K12

    ...in which Kyle and I rant at one another and few others seem to give a damn. Took me a while to finally get around to it, but I picked up 2k12 a couple weeks ago. Good times. First NBA game I've actually been able to play 12 minute quarters on simulation gameplay (with the Real % shot-stick...

    Rocksmit

    What, nobody? Okay, I'll give a mini-review. My background is relevant: I played my first Live Gig fronting a band when I was 18. Bizarrely, the memory comes rushing back to me. It was this little bar/grill place in Rio Rancho, NM... and I thought I was going to crap myself or throw up, or...

    Sports Mgt Sims: Football Manager

    I haven't had much of an interest in Soccer. I played one season when I was a kid, and all I remember of that season was the one time, when playing goalie and given the instruction 'Be Aggressive'... I tackled a kid. So, I'm coming into a round with the entertaining Football Manager 11 with a...

    Trav Fixes the Mariners (MLB11)

    So, I downloaded the full minors rosters for MLB:The Show 2011 and figured I'd start up a Mariners franchise to see if I can do something with them. I have a solid base of experience with craptastic teams, having focused heavily on playing the Royals for some time. I'll see if I can't move...

    MLB the Show 11

    Y'know, I wasn't a big fan of MLBtS10. After wasting hundreds of hours with the '09 version, the '10 version seemed buggy and more irritating than enjoyable so I traded it in pretty quickly. '11 so far is a Return to Form, and actually enjoyable enough to try and stick with a franchise for a...

    NHL 11

    Anyone playing this? Having finished Mass Effect 2 (And I can never sit through an entire second or third playthrough just to see a few different cut-scenes over the course of another twenty hours or so of rehashed gameplay), it's become my latest time sink. Digging me some Be a Pro mode...

    Head Coach 09 Revisited

    I'm still a bit skeptical about EA offerings these days, but gotta give em credit for putting out a title that I'm still losing hours to so long after release. (And gotta give 'em a kick in the nerts for immediately discontinuing said title.) Latest Coach Trav career began in Miami. I wanted...

    Heavy Rain

    While this type of game usually bores me... This thing has me sucked in and grabbed by the short and curlies. I bought it, though I'm planning to just eat the difference and use it as a trade-in for MLBTS because I don't buy the 'Replay Value' angle they're trying to sell. Anyway, it's pretty...

    My 2k10 Travhawks

    So I caved to my football addiction and picked up Madden 10 for PS3. Starting off 2010 at 2-0 with road wins against the Chargers and the Cardinals. Blew the Cards the hell out, and won 50-27 with my second string in for the entire 4th Quarter. Major Changes: Head Coach: Norv Turner (Mora...

    Borderlands Twitches?

    Anyone having the multiplayer bug problems I've been reading about? Apparently, some people are having problems with multiplayer wiping out their character's skills or some such. Personally, I'm getting almost fed up with 'Corrupt File'. THREE TIMES! None of my other save games have ever...

    PS3 Network ID

    So, I'm still trying to get my PS3 network stuff set up... It's not as in-your-lazy-idiot-face obvious to work with as XBL, but seems functional enough for free. I just picked up Borderlands today -- Soon as I can get my bluetooth setup figured out I'll probably be out and about online shooting...

    MLB 09: The Show

    So, digging away at this game. Anyone playing it? I created a virtua-Trav from my baseball playing days (I last played about ten years ago... My men's league went bankrupt, haha). Starting pitcher with weak heat but a scary monster-break 12-6 hook and decent accuracy. Started out drafted by...

    Xbox 360, I hate you.

    So, I'm getting into a groove with my shiny new NBA 2K10 franchise... and suddenly the video starts having odd issues. Bars of yellowish tint across the screen. I turn it off, reboot the system. This time, there are random blue streaks and pixels, then there are both blue streaks and...

    Madden Online Problems/Questions

    Some things concerning me with the omissions, so I'd like to fire up a separate discussion to go over just that. Salary Cap/Free Agency: How do weak teams get better? With endless contracts, there's no chance of some star player getting full of himself and hitting free agency for some cellar...
