Can't wait for the NBA Finals to get started, even though the Pistons aren't playing, I will be very interested in watching this series. I think it will go 7 games with the Lakers coming out on top. It wouldn't bother me to see Garnett get a ring though.

Today is lining up to be a busy one, so I need to get started.

What's up with you?

Next Generation has posted their preview of Baja.

Quote:
"The most notable aspect of the vehicles is the handling model, specifically the suspension, which on the bumpy surfaces has a real impact on steering and can cause severe misjudgments from the untrained endurance driver. Baja contains both point-to-point and loop races and, as well as other competitors, expect to see traffic on the public roads you race on. Developer 2XL has experience in the off-road genre with the likes of ATV Offroad Fury and MX Unleashed, so MotorStorm 2 might not have Christmas all to itself."

PSX Extreme has posted their preview of FaceBreaker.

Quote:
"Already you have a taste of the hilarity and outrageousness that FaceBreaker is bound to offer. Combos will flow like water, and real-time side-effects of their impacts will result in facial deformation. If you're everyday haymakers or body blows don't shake the opponent down, feel free to use a super-punch to try to determine the round. And hey, to make matters worse, if you're pummeling away on your opponent, pummel away with one hand behind your back for even more humiliation."

We found out over the weekend that my stepson is graduating. It's a shock to us, as we figured he'd be in summer school or repeating. It's been a long, long year for us with him, hopefully he changes his ways.

Did some yard work and rode the motorcycle over the weekend, other than that, nothing too interesting. Got some boots and can now place my feet flatfooted on the pavement, instead of tippy toeing. Love it!

What's up with you?

Have a screenshot request from our beta copy of NCAA Football 09? If so, setup your mini-avatar and put in your request. No mini-avatar? No screenshot for you!

One request per, as getting multiple shots requires too much back and forth. If it's something I can check on within the game or menus without backing out and resetting up, I'm fine with that, but otherwise please keep it at one request. Also, no more PM's and e-mails, I've gotten so many, I've started to ignore them. Thanks for understanding.

Once enough requests have been made, I will close the topic. If you didn't get your request in, don't worry, as you will have plenty of opportunities before release.

*Topic closed, check back later tonight for the screenshots.
