Playing the Star game
Hey everyone. So Rivals.com is in the midst of making its final re-assessments prior to National Signing Day and Auburn has been affected (slightly) by a few of these re-assessments.
OK, so OT Shon Coleman finished his season in November as a four-star prospect. Rivals.com's experts have bumped him to a five-star guy. By all accounts, he played well at the U.S. Army All-American game, so maybe that's why he's "better" now.
Another OT commitment, Ed Christian, today lost one of his stars. He's now a three-star prospect. His season ended in November as well. Christian played in the North/South All-Star game earlier this month. Maybe he was terrible?
Word inside Rivals.com is that LB commitment Jake Holland, he of Pelham fame, has been identified as a "riser" by experts inside the organization and will be bumped from his current perch (three star) to a higher, four-star perch in the coming days.
His season ended in November as well. Maybe he improved dramatically during the Christmas holiday?
EDIT: Rivals.com also is planning to bump DE commit Kenneth Carter to a four-star prospect in the coming days. The organization is making the changes on a position-by-position basis.
The whole deal looks odd to me.

Great job, Eddie. I was so tempted...
I was shocked to pop back and see it tee-ed up. You should have Cincy ;)!
S Carolina message boards are hilarious.
wow, a win on the road in the SEC....for this team? fantastic. i know it's LSU, but still nice to see our boys win one.
I watched the game. It looks like we have 5 guards in at all times. We're crazy small.
I have been rethinking the Jeff Lebo thing.
I am not on the bandwagon, but I think they give him two more years. He was hamstrung the first 5 years or so with the recruiting limitations from AD or whomever that did not allow association with the AAU guy in AL. This class does stink, but the coming class is much better and he can prolly win with bigger players. For now I am willing to let him stay, but if they STINK it up the rest of the season my opinion could change.
Next WTC is going to say that he is really sad we are losing Reed to the NBA after this year.
well, the Rivals stars updated last night, and we're oh so close to the Bammers. I honestly don't see how we aren't ahead of them--we have 1 more 5 star recruit, only 2 less 4 star recruits, but 5 more 3 star recruits. We both only have 1 recruit under 3 stars--and ours is supposedly the top punter in the nation.
It doesn't really matter, but it's fun to beat the Bammers in anything.
I wouldn't be so hard on Lebo if the team looked like they were taught the fundamentals well, played the game with good strategy and discipline and generally gave good effort, to me that would be a decent indicator that the guy is a good coach and has just been hamstrung by recruiting limitations.
That said, the team played well enough last night.
I'm still not a fan of Lebo and think Auburn would be better off without him. Of course, I've made this known several times. He cannot even keep the kids he does recruit on the team.
morning all
By the way, the new SEC TV deal is paying dividends in basketball...I feel like I've seen more AU games televised this year than I have...well ever.
Thanks, Hotties! MrsTHT and I will be going to Richmond on Saturday to visit.
Rumors yesterday of some "good news" today on recruiting front. Anyone hear more on that? Since Lattimore and Lemonier won't be announcing until Feb., that leaves Whitaker, Jones, and/or who else? Who knows, maybe Lache is back in the fold! No, that can't be it since Lache isn't on (wtc) Mom's list. I don't want Ambles if if it could scare Reed away. What are y'all thinking?
THT, the Ambles thing will not affect Reed. They will be playing different positions in this offense. The Ambles thing has more to do with Richardson being a NQ than with Reed.
THT- The rumor yesterday was Ambles and obviously was not true. As far as scaring Reed away, he appears to be by all accounts rock solid. The rumor around now is that Jeremy Richardson will not qualify and that is why we are going after Ambles. Who knows till signing day.
Seanzie beat me to it.
I've said it a lot on here, I like Jeff Lebo as a person. I got to interact with him a lot when he was here in Chattanooga, however I would also prefer that he not coach Auburn hoops anymore.
Anyway, Trooper did visit Ambles and he is supposedly taking a visit before NSD. We'll see what happens. WTC's mom is usually the go to for info like this.
Reed haad a visit from Les Miles and an Assistant coach at his school yesterday for 2 hours. Miles was supposed to have an in home last night. Reed's coach is a BIGTIME LSu guy and is pimping LS U to him. The Reed has made no comments. His coach thinks LSU is making in roads. I am not worried about him going somewhere else. This visit is just a courtesy call. LSU lost it's only 2 WR commits over thelast two weeks and they are pushing hard for Reed to stay home.
Good morning, wtc. I'm trying to decide if I should worry on your behalf, or not worry because you aren't worried :-)
Of course you should worry, THT. Nothing is final for another...14 days. 14 days in teenager world is like a year.
Back in the country catching up on my love of Auburn......carry on
Welcome home, WEG! I forgot, where did you go?
Changing subjects, D.J. Howard is facing a tough decision. Whatever he decides, I hope he keeps looking forward and doesn't have regrets when he hits the inevitable bumps in the road.
Went to Ensenada Mexico on a mission trip from church.
WEG- Hope you had a good time and accomplished all that you had hoped. Good to have you back.
Yes, it is always humbling. I love sports but you always forget about it while you're gone.
Welcome back, WEG! We have always had a group go to Juarez, Mexico for a mission trip, but it has gotten so dangerous they have cancelled it for this year. So sad. Glad things went well.
From Spartanburg news site www.GoUpState.com
Tiger coaches visit with Lattimore
By Phil Kornblut
Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and running backs coach Curtis Luper met with Byrnes RB Marcus Lattimore Wednesday. They first met with Lattimore at his school and later met with him and family at his house. USC coaches are due to meet with him Friday. The head coaches will be in next week (Chizik on 28th, Spurrier on 30th). Lattimore is choosing between Auburn and USC and remains undecided at this point. He will announce at his church February 2nd.
and from an article By Kevin Melton on that same web site...
Byrnes running back Marcus Lattimore says the official announcement on where he will play college football will take place at 6 p.m. Feb. 2 at Silver Hill Memorial United Methodist Church and is open to the public.
There goes my 0-16 prediction in SEC basketball play. Thanks, Lebo
So do our personal HABOTN gurus still think we get Lattimore?
And what about Ambles? Do we get him? I never heard of him before this week. Of course, I don't follow recruiting, I just follow wtc and his mom.
Cincytiger - I would be absolutely shocked if Lattimore chooses SC. I think/hope AU has 99.5% probability of signing him.
That's the news I like to hear!
Good morning Hotties. Prayers for Patricia and family.
Are we getting ready to go on a minnie run in roundball? So what good by Mr. Lebo.
Congrates to the team for beating LSU.
it's interesting that Gary Ferman of CaneSport.com states Lemonier has made a decision (but won't announce until NSD), while AuUndercover says Lemonier is still considering 4 schools. I'll have to trust wtc's Mom on this one.
Good morning all,
War Eagle to the BB team. Lebo will be given 1 more year to turn it around.
Auburn will finish up recruiting with Latt, Jones, Whitaker, Ambles and someone we have yet to think of.
Reed isn't going anywhere and neither is Coleman.
Lemonier might replace Ambles on my list.
Seanzie, saw you on another site this am getting your recruiting fix.
Yes sir, it's a very nasty habit. I'm quitting as soon as NSD gets here.
Just saw some confirmation of sorts on recruits not yet in the fold...Dee Ford seems to be excited about the three deep rotation on the DL next season. Seems to think the coaches already know who is coming and are just waiting on formalities at this point.
The major takeaway here is falls in line with what everyone and their mom has been saying, except for Michael's...
As far as what recruit is going where, I'm content to wait until I hear it from Jay G. That way, I know it's been confirmed, reaffirmed, checked and double checked and the i's have been dotted and the t's have been crossed!
Luv, that makes way too much sense to be productive. It's much cooler to hang on the rumors and get knee deep into who knows what and who heard what about who.
And Luv, the only problem is even when Jay does all of that - we're still dealing with 17 and 18 year old B-O-Y-S. They are famous for changing their minds in one day, much less two weeks!
I just realized I am going to be with my three sisters at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear over signing day. I bet they are going to be ticked when I want to stay in and keep up with recruiting. Might be worth getting one of those fancy fangled phones I can connect to the internet.
Cincy, you need to so you can get Twitter updates directly to your phone.
I can't say it's guy-girl thing, 'cause Cincy and Kathy are up into it too. So, I guess it's just me.
Does that make me the normal one and all of you the whackos or vice versa? ;-)
I'm a whacko. My wife thinks I should talk to someone about it. I tell her I talk to y'all all day. She says you're my enablers. I can't quit the HABOTN.
Cincy, I need one of those fancy fangled phones so I can keep up with the Hotties in the evening and watch tv!
Trovon Reed's story is on the front page of scout
Scout.com
LOL, Seanzie!
Cincy, who is that hottie standing beside that young girl in your pic?
Sweet, CH=B :)
Ambles doesn't have an offer from Au at this time. The coaches are using him as a back up plan if someone else falls through. What makes that sound even better is that $aban is working his tail off to even get the kid on campus.
Luv, I think you are probably the normal one. My hubby says I an "abscessed" with HABOTN. But he always asks me what news I've heard!
OK, this is a dumb question, but I was blonde when I was a child.
If I sign up for twitter updates do I have to have a data plan for my phone? Or do they come through like text messages? Inquiring minds...
MrsTHT is so thankful for HABOTN. It keeps me off eBay.
You can get them as texts Cincy.
I never knew that about Reed.
THT,
Haven't you heard of multitasking and a split screen? I do HABOTN, ebay, Overstock and craigslist all at the same time! HABOTN is not keeping me out of trouble.
In fact, I just got my VISA bill. Hubby will not be happy as I have way overspent my budget on stuff for the new condo. He keeps "encouraging" me not to spend money until we sell the old condo. I'm not listening too well.
A co-worker was informed that his son was killed in Afghanistan yesterday in service to our country. I have a very heavy heart for this family. I love Auburn and football, but it's really not all that important when reality bites.
Very Very sorry to hear that Kathy. Please pass along my prayers to his family.
Oh, Kathy, I am so sad to hear that. I can't imagine hearing that news about my son. Like CH=B said, please express to the family our prayers and our thanks for their sacrifice.
Kathy, THT...Thoughts and prayers for the stricken.
So terribly sorry.
Some Hotties had been wondering where they could get one of these. Wonder no longer:
http://www.zazzle.com/im_wearing_this_auburn_shirt_because_i_went_to-235155383210673463
I mean the t-shirt of course, not the avatar girls.
Congrats to the AU men on the victory last night!
OK, I have signed up for Twitter. There were a few more steps involved than I thought.
Now I need Jay to twit or tweet or whatever so I can see if it works.
My user name was taken!!! Who has the nerve? So on twitter I am cincytyger "(
anyone with access to AUundercover seen PM's all decade player rankings? i don't necessary agree with it but i can't argue with the ones on the list either.
1. caddy 2. jc 3. rb 4. mcneill 5. crogers 6. dansby 7. ratliff 8. grubbs 9. rudi 10. groves
most were recruited early in the time of tubby (2000-2002) when he gave a damn before jetgate.
You guys are all the recruiting stuff. Mom may take a break. Who knew AU fans would be interested in recruiting?
The only recruit I am now thinkng may switch is DJHoward. He thinks becasue AU Undercover wrote an article that AU thinks he would be a very good DB, that the coaches will make him play DB, even after they met with him and told him he would be a RB. He actually said that.
If he leaves, I think Eric Russell gets a scholly offer. This kid can return punts and KOs and is a good DB.
I think he led the nation (JUCO) in punt and KO return average.
K, is there anywhere hotties could donate to a veterans fund of some sort in his honor?
AU may not sign all 33. May take just 32.
DJ Howard is sounding less and less like someone we need to add to this class...If he's going to take what a write is guessing versus what the coach tells him, that's silly.
If AU moves Reed to DB, they would liek to take ables. If not, I think they will pass.
I agree Seanzie
wtc, it seems we are turning away a lot of highly thought of recruits who were having late interest in AU. nice to have that problem. trust the coaches.
wtc,
see if you can't convince mom to stay on the job just a couple more weeks
reed to DB? Is that something they've talked to him about doing?
I feel like the rest of the time will just be going through the motions and staying the kids we know are coming.
In two weeks we'll know for sure but even if we didn't add but one or two more, this would still be an excellent class.
CHip-I agree. Also, if this results in improved performance on the field, look for the class to fill up sooner in 2010.
Look at Tx. They fill up VEYR fast each year. They may have 10-15 recruits committed for 2010 (next year) before this current semester is over.
Reed played some DB in the AA game in San ANtonio. He said then that he would play it, if he could play some on offense also.
Chip Chip,
I'm not sure about Ratliff being on that list.
thanks for relaying that info from your mom, wtc.
With the coaches help I think Reed could become a really good DB. He was a stud in the AA game practices.
We have any other Hotties on Xbox Live? I need more friends. Esp Call of Duty MW2 players.
I'm on Live, but my Wireless Game Adapter has been on the fritz for a while and I've yet to replace it.
I'm not a Call of Duty guy, though. I've mainly just been playing FIFA lately.
I was unaware that Minnesota native and current AU student Roszell Gayden has a twin brother
Seanzie, I would be on there but when my brother moved out of my basement he took the XBox with him.
I know the feeling CH, when I moved to Georgia my Xbox vanished off the moving truck. One of my wife's uncle's kids, who is a convicted theif/drug user, has no idea what happened to it. But somehow between my in-laws house and my new apartment it fell off the truck. Sketch.

We just got a Wii. I'll admit I was skeptical but it's übercool.
It's the first time I've had the current system since Atari 2600. My supreme cheapness normally keeps me a generation behind.
I love the Wii for arcade/party games. Not so much for the others.
My mom just told me we aren't getting any more commitments this year. She says we had an inside shot at the 1 star safety Garrett Abdooboo from a Rhode Island prep school, but we blew it.
Be sure to thank your mom for her valuable insight, Michael.
My 7 yr old can play with her old man, which is awesome. X-Box controls are difficult for me and impossible for her.
There's a lot going on with the xBox controller, I'll give you that. I get buttons mixed up a lot. It's my old age. When I was younger I was a whiz on any and all gaming consoles.
Abdooboo is undervalued. It's because he is only 5'4" and 115 pounds. Put him in a weight room and the sky's the limit.
ehyou, my favorite Atari games were Starmaster, Asteroids and Space Invaders. That was the only system I played as a kid.
I hear you can do this surgery where you can up to 4 inches to someone's height. He would have to be willing to participate though.
I'm a Burger Time guy myself when it comes to old Atari games.
Harrison, my mom agrees with you about Abdooboo. She read that he was interested in starting p90x this spring, so he had some tremendous upside. Great motor too.
I've never even heard of that game, Eddie.
Eddie - I still play Burger Time on the computer from time to time. Love that game.
How do I know when to play it? Easy. Not 1:00 am. Not 7 pm. It's whenever my watch reads "BURGER TIME", that's when.
http://www.addictinggames.com/burgertime.html
Have at it LUV.
Thanks, Michael, but it'll have to wait until I get home. All games are blocked here at work.
Pitfall! and Defender were my favs.
With Space Invaders, we figured out a way to manipulate the power switch so that two bullets would come out.
Actually, I shouldn't say "we." It was my younger brothers that figured it out.
i still have a working nintendo with RBI Baseball, Tecmo Super Bowl and many other of the best games of all time.
I will sell it to you for 5,000 dollars
Sorry guys but I think I was like 3 or 4 when Atari 2600 was out. The original Nintendo was my start and what really kicked off this billion $ industry.
I got the Nintendo out about two months ago. I simulated a season on Tecmo Super Bowl and played the Super Bowl. I won it all, and it was glorious.
I showed my 5 and 3 year olds how to play duck hunt, and they loved it. Ahhhh, the good old NES.
I will sell mine + games for $4,500. As you can see, it is a much better deal than Harrison is offering.
I was 4 when NES was released. I received mine on my 5th birthday. It was glorious.
Seanzie, you are a liar. The NES was released in 1985. If your profile is correct, you are currently 25 years old. My calculations show that you were 1 year old at the oldest at the time of release.
pwned!!!!
Wow, I had no idea it came out that early. I stand corrected.
Memories are a bit fuzzy from that era.
You know what game was awesome that no one remembers? Joe Montana Sports Talk Football on the Genesis. That announcer was an imbecile.
I did get one when I turned 5, that I remember.
Yeah, I didn't have any experiences with the NES until 1987ish or so. I only know it is as old as 1985 because that is the copyright date on the back of my Mario Bros game. And I am always like, "Wowza, this thing is old!"
I had Joe Montana Sports Talk too Michael. Itwas awesome and he is my favorite player of all time. I also loved Bases Loaded on Genesis
i think 1985 is right. I still remember the day I got my Nintendo. My grandparents bought it for me after my parents wouldn't
JGT- Covering the women's game against Vandy tonight?
Joe Montana is also my favorite of all time. I cried when he got hurt and the niners lost to the Giants back in 1991 or so.
I remember bases loaded. Oko was my favorite hitter. Cool stance and a lot of homers.
I also remember making my friend mad one time because instead of playing for real, i kept hitting his players trying to start a fight. There was one guy for the blue team who would always fight. He was a fiery fellow.
Ah.....PacMan and Frogger!!!!
Contra was the best came. I still remember the cheat code to get unlimited life.
up/down, up/down, left/right, left/right, a/b,a/b, select, start.
That has been burned in my brain. I should try out for Chuck as a new spy.
Nintendo was also the culprit of my 1st curse word. Or at least the 1st one my mom heard me say. I just couldn't get that stupid Mario guy to do what I wanted.
I remember the blood code for Mortal Kombat for Genesis. A-B-A-C-A-B-B.
CH=B...sorry man, that code is wrong...
It's up, up, down, down at the beginning.
In his youth, ElTurbo was quite the gamer ... he had a book full of cheat codes he had collected. When in 3rd grade he shared a web site with a friend to obtain some of these codes.
Unfortunately,the friend didn't write down name correctly of naughtydog.com (the game site), and wrote down naughty.com which opened a new world of video possibilities.
W is right CH.
U U D D L R L R B A Start

CincyT ...
A few thoughts ... cell service at the Grand is very spotty. The weekend Chizik was named head coach I was at the Grand with Mrs. Jet for an anniversary weekend. I spent most of it on the Blackberry attempting to glean information through the Web and on the phone. I believe Mrs. Jet indicates I owe her a return trip.
Either way, have fun, and please eat a crabmeat omelet and some cheese grits for me.
I think c=b's memory had a frameshift mutation.
Oh wait, y'all were talking game codes, not genetic codes.
you are correct it is up,up, down, down but I am pretty sure the rest is correct.
A buddy of mine Ryan could beat Tyson on Punchout with his back to the TV he had it timed so well. It was amazing
Tyson's a chicken.
My heart is broken. We were supposed to go to Nashville this weekend to see our daughter and son-in-law. His parents were also coming. We have done this in the past and thought it was just a weekend for us all to get together. My son-in-law just called to tell me they were going to share the news of a baby, but they miscarried this morning.
I can't believe the overwhelming grief I am feeling. But, God is good, all the time, and He doesn't make mistakes. I would really love it if you would pray for them (and me).
Prayers sent Cincy
I was the guy that sucked and never had the codes and would get wacked when playing Mortal Kombat.
I pray for God's comfort for the entire cincytiger family.
Cincy ... you can count on it, but more importantly, you can count on Him.
It often confounds us that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. It's a reminder to us that this world is not our home.
May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding envelope you and your family.
Cincy,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I think a lot of people would be surprised at the anguish that comes with a miscarriage.
Prayers for you and your family.
So sorry Cincy. I have experienced it first-hand and it is very sad.
Remember that everything normally turn out right in the end.
Sorry to hear that Cincy, terrible news. I wish nothing but the best for you and yours in the future.
very well said, Brother Jet.
Cincy- Prayers sent.
Cincy, sorry for your and your family's loss. When going through something like this it is hard to keep faith, but remember everything happens for a reason. I will pray for you and your family.
May God give you and yours the patience, strength and understanding to handle it, Cincy. Sorry to hear about it.
I got a Wii for Christmas. I downloaded Mario 3, Legend of Zelda, and the 1st Mega Man game. Mario 3 still stands the test of time even today.
So sorry to hear about your daughter and son-in-law. My prayers for all of you and may God bless each of you with his love.
Be strong and God Bless Cindytiger.
Prayers to you
Ok, I'm on a break at my meeting, and I turn on the TV ... Outside the Lines ... on the screen now.
Mike Griffith (Knoxville newspaper, ex-Mobile)
Pat Forde (I'm ok with him.)
F-bomb.
Sheesh.
Cincy, I am so sorry. The faith you have in God will give you and your family strength to get through this time of loss. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers.
Jet, he definitely has the face for radio, doesn't he?
Thanks, guys, for all the prayers and reminders of God's goodness. I appreciate you all.
Now, get back to discussing our beloved Auburn and all the great things going on there.
and thanks to Luv
I would just like to say that my friend and I played Contra so much that we beat it one time WITHOUT THE CHEAT CODE!!!
Never beat Tyson, though.
Cincy...thoughts and prayers.
Finebaum makes me sick. I can't stand to hear his voice.
Paul Finebaum is the Jerry Springer of Sports Radio.
So sorry for your loss, cincy. Look to God and he will guide you and your family through this difficult time.
I was a Sega Genesis guy. I loved Sonic 2, Prime Time football starring Deion Sanders, NBA Jams, California games and so many more.
I've always been behind the 8 ball on video games since then. I don't play enough to justify spending the money. I'm currently still playing the PS2, although I'm really wanting a 360 right now, for one game in particular.
Which game, Wake?
i was a Genesis guy growing up too.
i just got a PS3 for christmas and have played NCAA & Madden non-stop since. love it.
I just bought a PS3 also, haven't played it much though. Madden is fun on it
My greatest moment came when playing Super Mario Bros with some friends. Got down to the last confrontation against Bowser with a bunch of extra lives, but ended of losing all of them and was down to my final man, and Mario had already been shrunk to little mario size no less.
Well, Bowser went for the final killer blow, but I magically did some sort of ninja pirouette to dodge and landed the killer blow myself to win the game. It was awesome.
Pure jubilation followed. I use to wonder what it felt like to win a big time sporting event.
Not after that day.
mjt says all of you are idiots
MX vs ATV Reflex... Supposedly its the first mx game to be remotely realistic.
I would have to have NCAA 11 also, and Forza... racing and sports games are about all I play.
Hey gang!
Cincy - prayers are sent.
Video games? A buddy of mine was an expert in Intellivision.
ninja pirouette...I've done those many a time...just yesterday in MW2 I ran into an enemy spawn point, spun around and just kept shooting and somehow survived.
It felt awesome, right?
Lemme rephrase that, he was an expert against me at Intellivision
Cincy, prayers definitely sent. I just taught a Sunday school class last week, and one of my topics was "Why does God allow suffering?". It was actually more of me leading a discussion than providing any answers (because no one really knows), but I think that the answer is something along the lines of what Jet said in the 2nd paragraph of his 1:43 post. There's a line that's non-Biblical (from "Lord of the Rings", I believe), but I think very Christian in nature, where someone asks "Is everything sad going to come untrue?". I think that will be the case in Heaven.
What is intellivision?
I agree with ehyou. You guys are a bunch of idiots.
Genesis was soooo much better than SNES by the way, and you are a nerd if you say otherwise. Hope you like your MK without blood! HA!!!
As recently as Junior year of college, I could still beat the first Mario Bros in under 10 minutes.
My video game playing days were over when I got married. I bought SOCOM Navy Seals 2 right before I got married and had the PS2 online modem going and everything. The wife didn't like me spending all that time playing video games. It just wasn't worth it anymore, and the game just turned out to be a waste of money. Haven't bought a video game or gaming system since.
To jump in on the Christian view of suffering, God's answer to Job is amazing. One of the best passages in the Bible. I suggest you read Job if you ever ask yourself, "Why did this happen to me?"
I shouldn't say "one of the best", I should say "one of my favorite"
I said I wasn't going to buy a game system, until i got my 72" tv in my man cave. Then I just had to. Plus it has blu-ray and streams Netflix movies. My wife said if i bought this stuff I better use it. I think she sees her error now
Intellivision had that crazy paddle controller with a number pad on it.
On a much less serious note, three things:
I wonder why Intellivision never took off?
Pitfall (Activision game on Atari) was addictive. Somebody mentioned that one earlier. Haven't thought about that in a long time.
The year we were supposed to get Atari for Christmas, Santa forgot to bring it. My brother and I were being nice and trying not to say anything when my mom got a funny look on her face and ran back to her bedroom. Somehow, Atari had magically ended up on the top shelf of her bedroom closet.
Harrison, that was a rookie mistake on her part and you HATE to see that.
Did Pitfall have an ending? cause if it did I never got there.
my wife is usually in bed around 10. i use 10-midnite to catch up on running the life of my little digital warriors!
right Wake but sometimes you have to capitalize off other people's mistakes. Ya herd?
It's not a console game, but anyone ever play Myst?
That game was a serious mindfreak.
you must ALWAYS capitalize off of turnovers Harrison!
I have actually been playing QuakeLive online for free a lot lately... well, at least one free for all a night (about 15 minutes). My wife hates it. But I'm back!
E-bro - I played myst a little bit. I was at the age where I liked death and destruction, so I was bored with it.
I fully support you Harrison.
NERD ALERT!
Harrison, I copied this from a YouTube site:
What happens when you collect all treasures in the Pitfall game; the game simply stops and the Activision sign rotates.
aren't we all ehyou?
O just got a ps3 for Christmas as well and I'm hooked on Call of Duty (modern warfare..... Gonna have to get MW2 soon).
I haven't played Madden or NCAA yet. I need to buy one of them soon though.
For you ps3ers out there. My playstation I'd is: dmiller1856
I know COD has taken it over as the most popular first person shooter game, but the first time I played Halo on Xbox, I was just like...wow, I've seen the future of video games (or first person shooters).
That "O" is supposed to be an "I"
Should I stick with COD for now or go buy a football game? Which one, Madden or NCAA?
MW2 is legit.
This is awesome (to Lost fans):
