What is a "sim?"
Posted on December 5, 2008 at 01:43 PM.
Just a quick entry:

I see as more and more time goes on people complaining about certain things happening in their basketball games that isn't possible.

Last night Jose Barea scored a season high 18 points (I think he scored 9 in the 4th quarter alone) as the Mavs torched the Suns. In that same night, Matt Bonner had 9 points in the first quarter alone.

If these things were to happen in your game, honestly, how many of you claim the game to be broken?

Game Review Ratings And Their Failure
Posted on November 19, 2008 at 10:50 AM.
I find it laughable when people use review ratings to justify a game's quality. That's the same thing that the developers are doing and they just encourage it. I mean, give me a break; You're going to use the same ratings that people argue over which is typically the opinion of the average joe who is impressed by the one facemask animation to justify your point?

Do you even know what site you are on?

I would think most of those who frequent OS would be able to use solid ... Read More

Fanboy.

The term "fanboy" apparently dates back to 1919. While video games weren't around at the time (or televisions to play them on, for that matter), apparently people were going around being "fanboys" of certain guns or pants. Who knows?

The SportsGamer of Today.
Posted on November 11, 2008 at 03:41 PM.
What has happened to the SportsGamer?

If you talk to someone that has been playing games for many years, it's very difficult to not find them reminiscing of Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble and Blades of Steel. There were no sliders, complaints about the AI or essays on exactly how the game is "broken." The SportsGamer simply enjoyed a game that was fun and made with an attempt to bring the best out of a specific sport.

Flash forward to today and all you will see are gamers everywhere ... Read More
