Wordpress

Well, I have decided that Wordpress is clearly better than blogger so head to my new blog here:

One simple thing that I need is to have a blog continued on another page if it is really long, which doesn't appear to be an option in blogger. Oh well. Go check it out.

Ouch

More actual opinions and news soon, but for now here is a video.

This had to hurt.

Suns And Nets Light It Up

Wow. Just wow. Last night the Phoenix Suns beat the New Jersey Nets 161 to 157! It isn't the highest scoring game ever, but is still really impressive. Both teams had 40+ point fourth quaters. Steve Nash and Jason Kidd both had great games, with Kidd having his 78th career triple-double. I have always thought Kidd was under-rated. I usually vote him to the all-star team, and his stats support my opinion. The ironic thing is that Nash, as great of a player as he is, only has three career triple-doubles. THREE!! To put it in perspective, LeBron James almost averaged a triple-double last year. My guess is Nash's lack of triple-doubles is a result of Phoenix's fast paced play.

Looking at the boxscore and reading the recap is crazy. Everyone shot a lot, scored a lot, and it looks like it was a really exciting game. I hope I can catch it later somehow. Meanwhile tonight I will be logging the Hawks/Lakers game tonight. Yay! (If you don't know what I am talking about when I say logging, just comment on this post and I will explain :-)

Wii First Impressions

The week before launch, my co-worker Austen and I were able to check out the Wii in EBX at Washington Square. We went during our lunch break. The menu system was fine, about what I expected. One nice surprise was that you can turn your cursor upside down simply by rotating the remote upside down. Nice touch.
The only game available was Excite Truck. The controls were great, tilt controller to turn and for pitch in the air, button 2 for gas, button 1 for break (not that I used it), and any direction on the dpad for turbo boost. We had a great time racing each other, and the courses were pretty awesome. The graphics weren't quite what I would have hoped, but good enough for what the game is. The course design was very diverse, featuring areas with dense trees, plateaus, different ways to go, etc. Controls and course design were defiantely my favorite things about it.
Oh, one last thing. It was fun. It was so fun that I just wanted to go back. That is how games should be.
More impressions soon.
