John Cena and his best move…

I knew you was horrible, but this sealed the deal!

What are the long-term ramifications for the league?
Barring a new CBA, the players either will be on strike or the owners will lock out the players in 2008. The union likely will decertify, and antitrust rules will apply. Also, the NFL draft will go away in 2008 as part of a clause inserted in the current CBA. Players coming out of college could be free agents, with no salary restrictions. Open negotiations, including those for rookies coming out of college, will leave it to the players to get what they can get.

Now, pay attention, cause this is a bit complicated. The current problems in the NFL between the league and the players association might make the EA/NFL contract void. This is because if the union decertifies, then anti-trust rules will apply. If this happens, then EA is out of luck. Antitrust laws would be in effect and the contract would be voided. (EA signed a deal with both the NFLPA and NFL so at the least, other companies could use the players, but not the actual team names. Not a big deal really, since we know who they would be referring to.)

Just to recap, the NFLPA may decertify itself in order to keep a lockout from occuring. This in essence will make antitrust laws apply. The NFLPA will decertify if no agreement is reached to extend the CBA. Keep an eye on this people, we know it is a lot of “ifs” but stranger things have happened. Keep your fingers crossed.

Update: Since the current CBA runs until 2008, they would not de-certify until then we have been told. This means on the off chance this happens, we still have to put up with 2 more years of EA. If you want to read up a bit on anti-trust law, check it out here.

36 Crazyfists “Waterhaul”

Press skin into skin,
just a fraction to gather the senses.
Still locking in mine, design,
just a scrape to uncover the evidence.
You won’t remove me, not anymore.

So here we are, now it’s obvious.
Candle lit to divide all your areas.
And inside all your barriers,
I’m defending my lines to ignite…
And I’ll be this way forever.

Inside the locks hide,
so my faith can come outside and shine.
Besides it’s why all these miles of road won’t divide.
You won’t remove me, not anymore.

And now it’s where the secret’s pushed behind,
with the lanterns to burn this inside.
And up there A SNOW-CAPPED ROMANCE where,
everything we build will come from our eyes…
And I’ll be this way forever.

Usually I do not get pissed about losing at poker… but I am… I had COLD CARDS ALL NIGHT! Shit happens though. I have had a lot of nights were I had HOT cards.

If I can be serious for a moment… I am not mad… I just needed to vent for a second. Dave won the game and bought me food. It was a win; win situation.

Pearl Jam will release “World Wide Suicide,” the first single off their as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2002’s Riot Act album, in mid-March. A 15-second clip of the raucous track was sent out to U.S. radio stations Friday. PJ reportedly will issue their upcoming CD – the band’s first studio effort for its new label, J Records – on May 2. A tour is expected to follow this year.

Am I in the right job? I have been wondering this for a while. Subtracting the tough times we have had, I am still going to say yes. I an never wondering if a job is going to be there in the morning. I also have a set number of hours amongst other things.

Did I make the right choice?

Yes.

Recently, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Reggie Fils-Aime revealed to tech blog Engadget that over a thousand Revolution controller development kits have been sent out to various studios. In a follow-up story, IGN spoke with developers about these kits regarding their power, price and functionality.

The developers stated that the console’s SDK costs a relatively meager $2000. By comparison, the PlayStation 2 SDK was priced about $20,000 per kit at the console’s launch. Even the original PlayStation’s SDK weighed in between $4000-5000 at the beginning of that system’s life span. Notably, the inexpensive nature of the SDK is in line with Nintendo’s goal of lowering development costs.

Apparently, developers have cycled through three development kit revisions. The first development kit was a GameCube console with a wired Revolution controller attached. The second was similar, with a few minor tweaks. The third prototype, shipped out approximately a month ago, adhered to the same structure, but also showed some boosts in CPU power. The latest kit, sent out to only top publishers, displays a more ‘next-generation’ snapshot and comes with a wireless Revolution controller. However, for uncommitted third parties, it will be several weeks before they receive this kit.

Developers preparing playable Revolution software for E3 2006 will soon be receiving the fourth SDK which should provide 90-95% of the final system’s achievable performance. According to IGN’s development sources, final developments kits are expected to be made widely available around June of this year.

A number of software houses admitted that studios familiar with GameCube achitecture would find little difficulty in getting their Revolution projects up and running with due speed. In regards to Revolution’s horsepower, many developers were finding it to be quite sufficient, also saying that the uniqueness of the controller made up for any lower amount of raw power.

On a final note, most studios working on Revolution titles think the console could retail under $200 US, possibly as low as $150.

Revolution Report will have more information as it comes to light.

It started around 12am this morning. I woke up and started to clean. I cleaned until 2am. I ended up waking up at 7am. I told Heather Good-Bye and started my work-out. I hate doing it, but I want to lose a couple of pounds. Now… I am at work… It is going to be a LONG day!

For the 2 wrestling fans that are still out there, please watch this PPV. All I can say is… WOW… wow… The show from top to bottom was REALLY good. Even Undertaker had a good match. Even taker had a good match? Yes. Goto wwe.com for all the results.

Now I am watching Raw… So far it is sub-par to say the least.

It is thought that this is the final Nintendo Revolution console design, the patent details port locations and the back of the console. Still a mystery: what is under the front hood, and what that small port is on the back. Could it be the DVD dongle under the hood or SD slots?

Xplorer360 v0.9: Read/Write access to Xbox 360 HD, Mcard *UPDATED* Beta2
>> Roofus and AngerWound of 360GameSaves.com released a new application to access the Xbox 360 HDD (all 3 partitions), Memcard or dumps of these, with full write support!
From 360gamesaves.com:

Here it is! The highly anticipated release of xplorer360. This is beta software and needs testing. What better way then let you guys find the bugs!

Too many features to list but here are a few:
* FULL Read/Write to 360 HDDs.
* FULL Read/Write to 360 Memory Units.
* Physical and Logical drive access.
* Support for opening of dumps of both devices.
* Backup/Restore dump options.
Xbox-SceneXbox-Scene

Any bugs you may find can please be directed to our forums.
Brought to you by Roofus and AngerWound of the 360GameSaves.com Team!

Be on the lookout for some cool hardware we’ll be making available in the near future as well!

With read and write support to the Xbox 360 harddisk and memcard it means you’ll be able to share gamesaves over the internet, 360gamesaves.com has a gamesaves database and upload script waiting to be used 🙂
You can connect your Xbox 360 HD on your PC via an SATA controller, the memorycard can be connected via USB (see how here or here).
The Xbox360 saves are usually in /content/// of partition3 on your Xbox 360 HD. Xbox 360 gamesaves can be transfered to another Xbox 360 console and profile, but all ‘LIVE achievements’ will be disabled of course (achievements are linked to the LIVE profile). A dumbed down version of xplorer360 made specially for gamesaves manipulation will be released soon which should make it easier for beginners to find their gamesaves.

Also interesting – this tool will allow you to move over your old Xbox 1 gamesaves to your Xbox 360 (they will probably have to go somewhere in /partition3/Compatibility/Xbox1/ or /partition3/H2/), something that was impossible up to now.

But of course it’ll also allow you to navigate the rest of the disc, so you can check out all the stuff located on the drive, like the music stored on your drive or what you downloaded from Xbox LIVE for example (demos, live arcade, themes, videos …).

Note: Before people try to launch crazy ideas again: No this does not allow you to copy retail games (signed for XBOX360DVD media only) to the HD and play them. It’s a tool that gives you access to the Xbox 360 HD and Memcard from a PC, it does not hack/bypass any security.

*UPDATE* BUG: One confirmed bug has been found and can be harmful if not known. Do not attempt to insert a file with the same name into a folder. If the filename already exists, delete it then insert your new one. Look for an updated/fixed build soon.

*UPDATE2* From 360gamesaves.com:
[QUOTE]
With the first batch of bugs coming in, one being a bit problematic. We’ve wrapped all those fixes up into this build. This is beta software and should be used at your own risk until Final versions are available.

*Bug Fixes*
* Off by one error in filename length check fixed
* Recursive delete functions fixed / Delete from tree fixed
* Injection of file with same name fixed. Asks to overwrite

“Dancing with the Stars” performer Lisa Rinna was a guest on Howard Stern’s show earlier today. Howard Stern thought that Stacy Keibler’s inclusion on the show has ruined “Dancing with the Stars” because she is a dancer who is trained. He thinks that people with dance backgrounds take away the legitimacy of the contest. Stern thinks Stacy is going to win the contest. Stern didn’t attack Stacy personally, he just thinks that she shouldn’t have been allowed to be included in the competition.

Sore Loser… I want Jerry Rice to beat her! I would piss myself.
