Pikmin 3 is just so amazing!  Every time I play, I feel so nostalgic, remembering when I traded in practically everything to pick up the first game day one in Savannah so many years ago.

I quit caring about baseball years ago amidst all of the scandals.  Though I wouldn't mind taking my son to a couple of Braves games when he is old enough to appreciate them.

On a slightly unrelated note (but triggered by Aspro's misfortune) ... I really loved getting to watch a good bunch of baseball games this summer.  Most of them were minor league but they were still enjoyable.  I have a newfound appreciation for the sport ... and four foul balls I picked up and brought home with me.

The one thing that pisses me off is the dead time between pitches.  They need to do something about that.  Some pitchers just drag no end ... and it's even worse when they keep trying to catch people off base when they're trying to get a headstart and just keep wasting more time.  And I noticed it's even worse in later innings especially if the game is not going their way.

In the majors time between pitches is something they have cracked down on, but in the minors less so.  Keep in mind that in most cases the pitcher is doing what the manager is telling him to do.  In the minors, they may think a pitcher needs to work on his pick-off moves, so they may be instructing him to keep throwing over to first (the minor leagues are primarily for training).

If you have a minor league baseball team in your area that is the way to go. You can forget about high-paid, steroid ridden athletes and just watch a field of dreamers try to realize their goals. Plus the beer and food (and amazing seats) are all cheaper.

You can usually get the best seats in the park at a minor league game for $13, and beers for $3.

It's also family friendly with ample parking.

Beer in the ballpark cost $8 this summer even at minor league games.  Beer in the 7-11 across the road ... less than $3 and security left the gates after the 3rd inning

But tickets are much cheaper indeed.  I usually asked to sit behind home plate and tickets were just 7-8 bucks

After you watch a lot of Hockey, Baseball feels like its in slow motion. Some guys just take waaaay too long to throw the damn ball.

Hey Gamespot people, does that union where you can get people to make you logos and banners and stuff in exchange for games and such still exist? I know the unions are going away, but has that happened yet?

IMO this is starting to look a lot better than Brawl

You weren't joking. It does look better than Brawl.

It shows a broken image link. To me, at least.

Yeah, me too. Oh, I get it now. You were trolling Brawl.

Killer Instinct is 720p

You know, I'd be perfectly fine if all next-gen games were 720p. They could push more graphical effects and higher frame rates that way. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that my TV is only 720p.
