What to Buy: Xbox 360 or PS3?

Depending on which side of the fanboy fence you are on, I have either gone to the Dark Side or have seen the light. Last Friday, I purchased a PS3 (*gasp*). Several things sent me down this path: my birthday, Iron Man on Blu-ray (with The Dark Knight coming in December) and I felt it was my duty as an American to revitalize the U.S. economy. You’re welcome, Mr. Paulson. So as the owner of both systems, I thought I’d share my opinions comparing the Sony PlayStation 3 against Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

Defense was the name of the game in the first round rematch of Texas A&M and Washington. The game was hard fought all of the way and the game was much closer than the final score would show in this 17-7 Husky victory. (more…)

NCAA 09 Week 5: Washington @ #1 Oklahoma

In a game where the odds were stacked against my team, the AI decided to pile it on by causing plenty of drive-ending turnovers - including this “fumble.” This 24-14 loss brought an end to the regular season, giving the Huskies a 2-3 record and the #4 seed where I will face the #5 seeded Texas A&M in the first round of our playoffs.

This week, I won’t bore you with the taint-filled play of a game-deciding touchdown by Texas in a hard-fought 17-10 loss by my Washington Huskies. For that and more, check out the stats and other videos here.

Madden Exhibition: Seahawks 21, Bears 25

This is why I hate playing against the unwashed masses. First off, just as we started this game, my wife called me downstairs to check out some design options our interior decorator had for us. I don’t really care about the design choices, but I figured that I should be the good husband and go look, so I asked my online opponent for a ‘friendly quit’ which won’t affect anyone’s stats or rankings. Then I left the room and went downstairs for a few minutes to look at the floral arrangements . When I came back upstairs, I discovered that not only did this douche refuse my ‘friendly quit,’ but had continued to play the game without me present.

With the recent releases of “NCAA Football 09” and “Madden 09” and their new online dynasty and league, respectively, I will be spend a fair amount of time on the virtual gridiron.

Each video game has the new option of saving highlights as a Flash movie and uploading it to the internet for the world to see. So you can expect to see video highlights and game recaps each week from these two tournaments as I coach the Washington Huskies and Seattle Seahawks to glory! Stay tuned.

The Force Is Strong With This One

Once the demo for “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” was available on the Xbox Marketplace, I downloaded it faster than the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run. Although it was brief, the demo was impressive… most impressive. Ok, that’s enough “Star Wars” quotes for one post.
