Is it me, or is EA becoming the Montgomery Burns of gaming... without the charm? Yes, alas it is true... on the next generation of platforms, any game based on the Simpsons will be made by EA, the juggernaut that already owns the exclusive NFL and NCAA Footbal licence, and given the quality of most Simpsons games in the past(Vivendi Universal's Hit and Run be

The Lions: a team cursed to futility, vis a vis the curse of Layne.... a spirit which has yet to be exorcised. Is it just me, or does the headshot of Jake Plummer make anyone else think of a sleazy 1970's porn star?

It pains me that the music and "style" of NFL films is also being co-opted for other companies.

I remember when I first had cable internet installed, I couldn't get it to connect for the first day and a half... so I called tech support. After I went through all their stupid steps, I was told that if I wanted the internet to work, I had to reinstall Windows. I honestly didn't like that solution, so I went to the library and set up a netzero account, went home and downloaded a new set of drivers for my network card, rebooted and surprise,

Besides, you gotta admit, a horse would do better than a lot of the senators we have now. Well, they'd have better horse sense *groan* Sorry... it was too easy, and I had to go for it. This whole thing probably would have been a good time for a filibuster... but the Democrats sort of

I just found out that one of my favorite comics, Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles , is no longer going to be in the New York Press, which I fear will perhaps change its availability elsewhere as well. In that vein, I am posting creator Neil Swaab's short entry asking those of us who love his demented work to email and snail mail the NY
