I like the design ok, but man. Why? Will people actually buy these. What happens if you drop it, or leave it lying around. I guess if you’ve got the bucks to buy one of these, the answer is: buy another.

All-Star Baseball 2002: Cool Pitching and Batting Interface, But Nothing Else

// January 18th, 2002 // No Comments » // Game Reviews, Gaming, PS2 Review, Reviews

I rented All Star Baseball 2002 by Acclaim as everything I’ve read thus far puts it ahead of the other two baseball sims available on the market, but let’s hope the reviews I’ve read were wrong, because there’s not much here that I liked about the game.

I will note that I’m writing this review after playing it for an hour and a half against my roommate. To be fair (and also to get my money’s worth from renting the game), I’ll dive into the game again tomorrow morning, but initially I was pretty appalled at the product that Acclaim has released here.

Ok, Microsoft has put out around 6 versions of DOS, Windows through 3.11, Win 95, 98, ME, NT through 4.0, 2000 and XP. Why is Gates just now making security a top focus. All those OS’s since 3.11 have had networking/WAN support.

Looks like I’m brodie from Mallrats.

You have a genius intellect and an awesome sense of humor. You can sarcastically put someone in their place without batting an eye. Your only problems seem to be that you have trouble acknowledging your true feelings and you may use your humor as a defense to hide what you are really feeling. But, your godliness overpowers any insignificant flaws you may have. Even if you tend to pass gas during very inconvenient moments.
