Josh said he might have more than 1 GameCube.. gonna go buy Zelda Wind Waker for free from GameStop with my PowerCard.. why not. At some point, anyway. No interest right now, too nice outside..

Dude, it's been hot as heck outside yesterday and today and I'm stuck in either my car or the office.

Dang, gonna be 89 on Sunday.. great day to be in the pool..

Pools might not be worth it financially, but man it's a GREAT reason to be outside.. lounge out in the pool with my Kindle while I get a tan. Mom said she's never seen me this tan.

So, let me respond to this Lost stuff.. First off, no point to the island other than to keep the Man in Black on the island, but where did the twins' fake mother come from? That's what I wanna know.. that would answer everything, probably. As far as the sideways reality, it was just purgatory wtih no rhyme or reason.. nobody knows anything until they touch each other..

Wtih the Fate or Free WIll, I dont' remember that.. but yeah, Fate will win every time.. I'm guessing Jacob said something about Fate and Free Will which would immediately ruin the suspense if he did.

NHL 12 - who cares about realistic puck physics.. NHL 2K 11 has realistic puck physics. Hard game as hell. That Wii MotionPlus makes it harder 'cause you can't really dangle.. you ca ngo left right left right but it's nothin' like in the EA series with going between the legs and stuff.. you can supposedly pull off 1 on 1 dekes by shaking the nunchuk but I never did it.. you can lift the puck on the blade and juggle it but You'd never do that in a game.

Online is gay.. you have to add peoples' friend codes and they have to add you for you to be able to play online.. so how do you lpay online? you go to 2ksports.com forum and go to the thread wtih friend codes.. so gay.

I played one game yesterday against the CPU.. no games online 'cause I didn't hav ethe codes (that's what that other email is). If you take a Dman out of position, you can pretty mcuh guarantee an oddman rush.. take both out, and it's a guaranteed breakaway.. there's no hustle button but somehow the AI pushes the puck in front of them for a speed boost, no idea how to do it.

The game moves way too fast, defnitiely faster than EA sports. The AI is pretty bad. You can use one guy to go end to end every time if you want.. once I cross the blue line I don't know what to do 'cause I can't dangle and shooting involves holding in the trigger button and swinging the controller.. it's why everyone says it's impossible to get a rebound goal though I actually did get one.

I was losing 2-0, 3-1, then came back and tied it up with like a minute left. My last goal, I'm going up the middle but slightly on the left side.. right handed skater, I put the stick to the right and shot it bottom right 'cause the goalie left the whole right side open. Boom, too easy. The 2nd goal was a rebound, I go to shoot but the guy doesn't shoot and he skates away from the net from slot to R point and shoots it from inside the circle for a far-side goal, goalie was screened I guess. (The goalies move a lot more realistically, that's for sure.) First goal, I come from behind the net from RW side and shoot it bottom right.. puck hits the post and trickled in.. a cheese goal just like in EA except when he shot it, there was no power at all, no idea how it went in.

It's hard to get a good shot 'cause by th etime you move the controller for a wrister, it takes at least a half second for the player to shoot it.. by then, the angle's covered. I was repeatedly going far side but no dice except the game tying goal.

If

I asked the guys in teh thread if they use the MotionPlus or a regular controller.. we'll see what they say.

Played the Conduit, the best FPS game on the Wii, online.. first 10 or 15 games I was terrible mostly 'cause the games would lag like hell.. there's no status bar to show you a ping so who knows. Then, all of a suddy, I played 5 games and went 2:1 in 4 of them, the other game I got 4 kills and 1 death in 10 minutes 'cause it was too laggy.. my kills were all by headshot from the BR-type weapon or else I wouldn't have gotten any. Wont' be playin' that game a lot, it's like a Halo basically.. recharging health, futuristic weapons, nothin' to shake a stick at. The single player is actually decent, though. I wouldnt' replay it, but I'll probably beat it at some point.
