Please, don’t try this at home. Or better yet – please do!

Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer, one of the new games line up that’s came from Tecmo Koei for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will have everyone laughing. At you.

We’ve used our new Kinect at home briefly, due to time constraints with our end-of-the-year schedule coming to a complete state of fullness, but we have had fun nonetheless; mostly at how wacky we look playing the games. This one is no different.

If you think this game is just a joke, think again, and watch the video!

So – pass or try?

Chew on this: The San Francisco 49ers are second place in the entire NFL (5-1), behind only my Green Bay Packers (6-0), and even ahead of my New Orleans Saints (4-2) after their loss this weekend.

After walking into Ford Field in Detroit, and doing what the Chicago Bears could not, the 49ers are now no longer under the radar in the NFL. They are the threat that no one took seriously for the past month, and the team that the bay area has been looking to re-find for the past decade.

I was watching the game yesterday and couldn’t help but cringe at the offside calls, due to the loud crowd noise and dangerous defensive linemen that the Lions employ. I saw why Jay Cutler was sacked so many times, but the offensive linemen for the 49ers got it done in the end. They held the quarterback sack and hit counts to a minimum, and opened up holes for Frank Gore (15 carries, 141 yards, 1 touchdown – his best game of the year and second straight 100+ yard week).  Read the rest of this entry » The 49ers are the only on…

I’m really not big into boxing, but my buddy Kyle invited friends over to his place on Saturday night to watch the $70 pay-per-view fight.

The fights looked evenly matches in the first 3 rounds, with the veteran Mayweather holding a slight edge in his attempt to grasp his 41st straight win. Then the 4th round came, Victor Ortiz was pummeling Mayweather. It was looking bad, as Mayweather, known for his top-notch defense, could only hold up his gloves to save his life. And then it happened…  Read the rest of this entry » The kiss that ended the f…

If fantasy points came in the form of playing the air guitar in the end zone, then Cam Newton would be this week’s bread-winner. I was wrong about Cam, and he can indeed be the man. Granted, he played an Arizona Cardinal team that is without one of its top secondary players, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, whom they let go this pre-season.

Heisman Trophy winner, first pick by last year’s worst team, and now a broken record. Steve Smith (and owners) must be ecstatic. Too bad the Panthers lost the game. But, wow. How about you just watch the highlights?  Read the rest of this entry » Who’s Jimmy Clausen…

Safety matters, right? And that was the idea of starting kickoffs from the 35-yard line instead of from the 30, to help force teams to down the ball in the endzone for the touchback, starting off the drive from the 20.

Given the added 5 yards, we saw a record-setting number of touchbacks in just the first game of the 2011 NFL season, when the New Orleans Saints visited the Green Bay Packers. However, these young players that return kicks and punts always have something to prove. Their speed, for one, and here is the reason:  Read the rest of this entry » The art of returning kick…

I always want to force people to watch this stupid video on Fridays, but since she cried on and on and had the video blocked on YouTube, it’s increasingly difficult to find.

Until now. When I put it on my site, bwahaha!

I want to thank the studio for making this available to the public. They can contact me if they have any problems.

Also, I’ve located some comical photos, which I shall now place into this blog!   Read the rest of this entry » Which seat did Rebecca Bl…

Rounding out the running back selection for the NFL this season, I present the top 5 RBs that you should focus on. Ones that will remain productive, but not cost you a first round gamble. Guys that will shine on just a dime. Chris Johnson almost made my “stay away from” list, but his contract has been worked out today, and he’s ready to rock & roll until 2016.

I won’t mention guys like Adrian Peterson, as it should be obvious — pretty much everyone’s #1 overall pick the past 2 years. You know the production you’ll get out of him, and you know it’s going to cost you a top-3 first round pick.

As such, here are guys to look for after that crucial first round:  Read the rest of this entry » Top 5 Fantasy Football RB…

Are you getting excited for football? (all you football haters, just ignore that question, as well as the remainder of this post =p)

A great way to pump up an audience is to briefly present them with a product that is roughly 50 times more awesome than the product they will actually be watching. To this end, Cleatus the Fox Sports Robot has been complemented with some terrifying football-playing robotic pals.

I have not been a Lady Gaga song fan for a year or two now. Partially it’s because she is stealing borrowing her songs from other artists (Ace of Base, Madonna, etc). Some of it is that her creativity is walking off the cliff into oddity and weirdness. This song, “Born This Way”,  I especially cannot stand. Not because of the meaning behind the lyrics, but rather the repetitiveness of the entire song, taken from.. well.. read my other post. ;)

In April 2011, Yankovic reported that Lady Gaga refused him permission to release “Perform This Way”, which he hoped to use as the lead single for his upcoming album. Yankovic had originally sent the request to parody the song to Gaga’s manager, who responded that they would need to see his lyrics to make an assessment. Yankovic was touring in Australia at the time, and hastily created the lyrics for approval. Yankovic further stated that Gaga’s management further insisted on reviewing a recorded version of the song, and he had cut a family vacation short to turn the recorded version around. Ultimately, he was told that she refused to allow for the parody. Yankovic had considered the song key to his Alpocalypse album, but due to the rejection, he had begun the process to postpone its release until he could record a new song to take the place of “Perform This Way”.

While I am becoming grudgingly tired of Ezio as a character (I much preferred Altair in Assassins Creed 1), I did thoroughly enjoy the game inprovements made between AC 1 & 2. The last title, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, is nothing more than a mere extension of AC 2, with multiplayer added in. I am hoping the 4th title, Revelations, is nothing similar besides the character’s name. He is obviously older than he was, so I am very much hoping this latest release to be the last time he is utilized.

Here’s an excerpt from the UBI.com webpage:

When a man’s battles have been won and his enemies destroyed what then? Where does he find purpose and meaning? To find answers to these questions, Ezio Auditore will travel east in search of the lost library of the Assassins.

In Assassin’s Creed® Revelations, master assassin Ezio Auditore walks in the footsteps of the legendary mentor Altair, on a journey of discovery and revelation. It is a perilous path – one that will take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region.

In addition to Ezio’s award-winning story, a refined and expanded online multiplayer experience returns with more modes, more maps and more characters, allowing you to test your assassin skills against others from around the world.
