In other news, Sony has announced their long-awaited "pre-load" program for the PS4 and it starts next week:

Another excellent trailer for Sniper Elite III, this one showing the choose-your-own-adventure method for attacking an objective:

Well, I'm only going to be able to get one game right now. Just not sure which. It's down to The Show (which would be funny since I bought a PS3 to play The Show), UFC, Fifa (haven't played Fifa in YEARS) or something else I'm missing.
Hopefully you "bought" Resogun while it was free so you can download that too.
-
Rare is the day that I give credit to Tabe (where is my Hawaiian sand, bucko?).
I don't think we brought any back

In the spirit of the cop partnership rankings, I give you sure-to-be-hated sidekick lawyer/ADA rankings:
1) Jamie Ross - super hot, solid character, and came back a couple times as a lawyer - and then a judge
2) Paul Robinette - seems like the most lawyerly of the entire bunch. Probably because he's a dude and not just eye candy.
3) Abbie Carmichael - another of the super-hot sidekicks. Exuded the most "toughness" of any of the female ADAs and also got to actually grill people on the stand
4) Claire Kincaid - Easily the most shocking exit from the show. Little did we know she was boffing ole McCoy.
5) Connie Rubirosa - Ho hum, just another scorching hot sidekick. Nothing wrong with her - a solid character, solid performer, and tied for the most episodes
6) Alexandra Borgia - I always thought she was a bad fit and was an obvious attempt to get a "less attractive" sidekick for McCoy. Her character just didn't seem solid and just not a great fit.
7) Serena Southerlyn - From the utterly baffling exit from the show, to her constant wimpiness, and non-lawyerly attire, Serena always seemed in over her head. Not a good character at all - and she got the most episodes of any sidekick.
-
Emmert has been getting roasted on the stand all day. It's glorious.
-
Which is unfair because he allowed a hit~!
Can't seem to find a video of it but I seem to recall some thinking it shoulda been an error.
Wood also beaned a guy.
And I think didn't allow a single ball out of the infield.

Bix and I were talking about that a bit ago. It's like Amazon decided to release the best phone in the world - for December 2012.

Also, Brad Ausmus was asked what he does to cope after a loss. He responded "by beating my wife"
so that's going well for the Tigers too...
I know he's kidding and all but I'd be tempted to fire a guy for that.
-
Mad Max got shelled (again) yesterday, giving up 10 ER in 4+ as the Tigers fell out of first place.
Then they actually get a decent pitching performance today and still lose - 2-1. Now 1.5 GB of the Royals, who've won 10 straight. Tigers were 27-12 and are now 36-32.
Just remember its still June and they are still the Royals. . .
Not so much worried about the Royals as I am Verlander and Scherzer getting shelled game after game.
-
Read an interesting theory at Hardball Talk about Avila possibly tipping pitches during Scherzer's start. Would explain a lot about their struggles
Yeah, that would explain a whole bunch of the pitching staff all starting to suck at the same time.

Ranked in order of favorite cop tandems:
1) Briscoe/Logan
2) Briscoe/Curtis
3) Briscoe/Green
4) Logan/Greevy
5) Green/Fontana
6) Green/Lupo
7) Fontana/Falco
8) Bernard/Lupo
9) Logan/Ceretta
Sounds about right.
Yeah, don't think I'd argue with this either.

My biggest gripe from the demo was the animation. It just isn't as smooth as it should be.
-
I have this sudden urge to channel Sally Field...If you ban Tabe, we riot.
-
He wasn't just better, he was worlds better. And I like McCoy - a lot.In no universe is Stone better than McCoy.
-
I've had five fights (against the CPU) and none have gotten to the second round. :/
Sounds like your defense needs help.
-
Yeah, that first Bad Boys team averaged 107 a game - while playing at the slowest pace in the NBA. That's a relative term though - just 6 years later, their same pace would have been like 3rd fastest. You watch the 1990 NBA Finals and the execution is just awesome - super-crisp passing and a very fast pace. Granted, at least some of that is attributable to teams still not generally playing great defense but a lot of is also just that an effort was made to be faster with better execution.
-
Yeah, I haven't even downloaded it and I'm regretting it already. Sigh. No more preorders for me. Just scanning a few reviews, it seems a good enough start for the franchise (though, really it's not the first) but unrefined. As long as I can have some fun with just fuggin around with friends and the gameplay isn't broken, I'm cool with that. In the future, they better include downloadable creations because that copyright bullshit is lame. Do other sports games go through a litany of lawsuits from their create-a-jabroni modes?
It's a little early for a lot of the reviews, quite frankly. This is a game that needs a little time to percolate so the online community can mature a bit and online fights can improve. We'll have to wait and see what Bix has to say in his review of the game. He's been playing for several days already.
That said, I'm glad I didn't pre-order.

Things started to go downhill for L&O when Steven Hill left and they replaced him with Dianne Wiest.
I thought she was a fine replacement, especially since that part is so small in the scope of the show. Really, in the entire history of the show, my only casting beefs are Charlotte Rohm and whoever the female sidekick cop was played by. Being hot just ain't enough, especially on a show the quality of L&O.

The last several days I've been binge watching the first season of Law & Order. This is easily one of my favorite shows of all-time and it's been great fun to revisit that first season, all episodes of which I've seen at least once before. That first season is just awesome. I love that they handle cases that aren't just "RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES" - or even not from the headlines - murders. I like that the show has a gritty feel, none of this overly-polished stuff we see in later seasons. And the so-bad-it's-good music. The cast, of course, is great. Stone & Robinette are absolutely my favorite D.A. pairing throughout the entire life of the show. It's a shame Michael Moriarty ended up being batshit crazy and impossible to work with because he was sooooooooooooo good as Ben Stone. So much better than either of the two guys that came after.
Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys

Justin Verlander got lit up again last night. To say he's been terrible this year would be an understatement. 6-7 with a 4.98 ERA. Zach Greinke recently went 5 billion starts in a row giving up 2 or less runs. Justin Verlander has given up 2 or more in every start this year - all 15 of them. He's given up 5+ earned runs in 6 of his last 7 starts. Combined with Mad Max being awful in his 4 starts prior to his shutout against Chicago, along with the atrocious bullpen Detroit has (AGAIN) this year, it's a miracle they're still in 1st place. The pitching the last month or so has been one long WTF.
-
I don't think it was a lack of trying from Lebron's teammates.
Not that the outcome would have been much different I don't think, but there were definitely stretches - sometimes long ones - where the effort from Miami was lacking.
