which means he'll appeal, drop the appeal after a start, and just have an extra day off before his next start.. and he gives up five day's pay

Oh god. Football Manager 2014 Classic for PS Vita.. featuring cloud play (so you can play on your computer, and then take that same game on the road with your Vita) The announcement: We’re excited to officially announce that Football Manager Classic 2014 is coming to PlayStation Vita. FMC14 for PS Vita is our first game to allow cross-platform play away from home computers, meaning that fans who own both FM14 (and play Classic mode) for PC, Mac or Linux and FMC14 for PS Vita will be able to carry on a single continuous game, whether they’re at home using their computer or out and about with their PlayStation Vita (or vice versa). It will be the first ever handheld game to feature our 3D Match Engine, alongside a pretty much identical feature set to FMC on home computers. Play the game at home, at work, at Uni, on the bus, on the train – wherever you want to, with the saved game stored in the cloud. FMC14 for PS Vita will be published by SEGA and will be available as both a physical release and a digital download through the PSN store. Look out for more information, including release date coming soon. Welcome to the future of FM.

Well, the game is on sale in general release through the publisher: http://shop.gamesalute.com/collections/front-page-1/products/impact-city-roller-derby edit: or you can buy it through Amazon and get it quicker: http://www.amazon.com/Impact-Miniatures-City-Roller-Derby/dp/B00CB2JU60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377021534&sr=8-1&keywords=Impact+City

http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/117975/impact-city-roller-derby Basically, it's a high strategy/low dice rolling game that plays true to flat track roller derby in that you score points by lapping blockers, planning your moves is important (you want to pass on the straightaway, because changing lanes on the curves is hard). Blockers move slow, Jammers can move fast but the faster they go, the more likely they are to wipe out). Rules are here: http://www.gamesalute.com/Springboard/ICRD/Impact-City-Roller-Derby-Rules.pdf Game comes with meeple skaters, Impact Miniatures is making a line of pewter miniatures for the game.

Picked up three major Board Games at GenCon Heroes of Metro City: Build your super Hero through gaining energy and powers, and try to stop the baddies from destroying the city. The more they destroy, the less available to upgrade your character) Impact City Roller Derby: A Roller Derby board game.. Looks cool. ScrumBrawl: A mix of Blood Bowl and Wiz War

80 minutes into the season and arsenal fans have turned on Wenger

version 2.0 is out this week. so, that's the version I may buy (and get everyone in on it)

Played this at GenCon. Holy fuck, it's so awesome. It is a up to six player game where each player controls one or more departments (Captain, Navigation, Engineering, Weapons, Science/Sensors, Communication) on the brige of a starship as you attempt to defend your sector and its starbases from a horde. The stations are all set up like Star Trek stations.. we played on giant touch screen TV's that's like working the consoles on Star Trek, but it's set up for mouse and keyboard I'm definitely getting a bridge crew license ($40 for a six player server basically), and while it's optimized for face to face play in a room.. this can be apparently played over the Internet with voice chat. So, if this kinda game tickles your fancy, let me know, it would be great to do a DVDVR game: http://www.artemis.eochu.com/

Joined in at the last moment. We may have an odd number of players

how about ManYoo? Or the RedShite?

Ah, the joys of sixth-division football.. Paddy Power pays a team to change their names to stars of the past and present, (so Messi is going to play with Beckham, Cryuff and Beckenbauer). http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/58166593137/messi-maradona-cruyff-and-beckham-all-on-the-same

At the lower levels of England, it's not often you win your first game 5-1 and still end up 2nd in the table on Goal Differential, but my beloved U's (Cambridge United) are in that situation, after beating Halifax 5-1 (thanks partly to Halifax having two men sent off in the first 21 minutes), only to see Forest Green put the mother of all asswhoopins on Hyde, Eight-Nil.

Can't wait, leave for GenCon Wednesday morning.. got a lot to do.

England win the Ashes officially, winning the Fourth Test by 74 runs.

Doesn't look like that's going to happen.. Australia collapse from 109-0 to 199-8, still with an hour or so left in the day, they could be bowled out tonight.

4th test is getting interesting, England lead is close to 200 (they stand on 221-5), if they can find another 100 runs or so, the Aussies may have trouble (the scores are 238 and 270 in the first two innings, so the game's really in the balance)

Arsenal get Fenerbache, which is a tougher tie than they might have liked, but what happens if Arsenal lose and Fenerbache has their appeal of exclusion from the Champions League (match-fixing) denied?

Conversation between my friend Josh and I: Me: Ok, should I be happy that the Red Sox pulled two games they had no real right to win out of the fire on consecutive nights, or be pissed off that they very nearly lost a series (or even be swept) by the Astros? Josh: Yes.

When I first read the story, I was hoping against hope that the story was that Panesar (notoriously bad at the batting crease) peed himself him in fear when someone bowled a head high bouncer. But unfortunately, that's not what Panesar urinates on bouncers meant: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-23600037

And despite the Aussies getting three fairly quick wickets (including Pietersen), the only winner in this Test is the rain, which will deliver the Ashes back in Englands hands... until the end of the year at least.. Good battling by the Aussies, if not for the rain they may have had a shot, and talk about "5-0, 5-0" has been put in the rubbish bin

The current espn.com headline is about the Royals hot run, but, um, I think the title is about as backhanded a compliment as you can get before it becomes a straight backhand. "Wait, you're still here?"
