Playstation Move: Finally Sony's Motion Control Has An Official Name  E-mail
Written by Blythe Brumleve   



At the Game Developers Conference today, Sony has dropped the equivalent of an atom bomb with the announcement of the official name of the motion control device dubbed the Playstation Move, a "Wii Nunchuck" like sub controller to the Move, games and even a bundle package!

Since the internet has not yet exploded, we are able to show you some of the screen shots of the Move controller as well as a "Wii-like Nunchuck" that is uncreativly called the "sub controller". The sub controller is explained as a tool to "expand the game play options that PlayStation Move games can offer".

The sub controller is basically the analog controller for one hand and will serve only as an accompaniment to some (maybe most) games.

Both controllers will connect to the PS3 wirelessly via Bluetooth that means not even a cord to connect the Move to the sub controller. Ahhhhhh wireless technology......

Memo to Major League Baseball: Instant Replay Is Not the Sign of the Apocalypse  E-mail
Written by Blythe Brumleve   

argue2

Whether it is a referee in football, a linesman in hockey or an umpire in baseball, all sports have some sort of judge and jury. These individuals are in charge of making decisions that affect how the game is played out. The purpose of these "judges and juries" is to get the call right.

Get the call wrong and it could majorly affect who wins or even determine the outcome of the game.

So why has baseball been so slow to adopt tools to help the umpires make the right call?

Over years of debate and other major sports leagues adopting instant replay, baseball finally succumbed the pressure of the fans and media by allowing for instant replay on home run calls only.

When the surprising change was announced, the media and fans were already shouting for more instant replay analysis than just home runs. And why the heck not?

Which Curling Iron Do I Need?  E-mail
Written by Blythe Brumleve   

http://i.ehow.com/images/a04/bd/qf/hairspray-off-curling-iron-800X800.jpgBuying a curling iron can be tricky. There are so many different styles to choose from. New shapes of barrels, new materials for minimizing damage, and some downright crazy looking contraptions.

The first, most important thing to know is what kind of curl you're looking to create. That will help you narrow down which type of iron will give you the results you want.


What Size Do I Want?

  • A skinny curling iron will give you tight, small curls
  • A thick iron will produce large, bouncy curls
  • A double/triple-barrel iron will give hair waves




Diameter of the Barrel:
The diameter of the barrel determines the size of the curl. Barrel size ranges from 1/2 inch to 2 inches.


different sizes of curling ironsSmall barrel diameters (1/2-3/4 inches) are best if you have very short hair or if you wish to create a tight spiral curl.


Medium width barrels (1 inch) allow for maximum versatility. Ideal for short to long hair, this mid-range diameter is perfect for creating a spiral curl on medium to long hair and a nice, lasting curl on shorter hair.


Large barrels (up to 2 inches) will create a loose wave on long hair. They also work nicely to give a gentle curve to the ends of a medium length bob.


And can be used on short hair to add volume and create a large, "barrel rolls" which can then be separated by running fingers through the hair with a wax or putty product.

March Madness and Bracketology Explained  E-mail
Written by Blythe Brumleve   

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/bracketology-9.gifIts that time of the year again. When words like bracketology and March Madness are thrown around on a daily basis. This time may be very annoying to some as normal TV programs are interrupted by college kids running up and down a basketball court.

But you don't have to sit on the sidelines this year, with our help you learn all about March Madness and participate in what makes March not just another boring month without football.

March Madness is very simple term that was coined to explain the frenzy that overtakes America as one huge tournament that consists of 65 division one college basketball teams that compete in a one-and-done competition to see who is the best college basketball team in the country.

Win and you move on to the next round, lose and you go home crying in agony. Teams for both the men's and women's tournament are chosen by a selection committee, which is comprised of select university athletic directors and conference commissioners. Each tournament has its own committee.

The selection committee meets between the Thursday and Sunday prior to the date selected for the tournament's first game. The committees job is to filter out the teams deserving of an invitation.

These decisions are announced live on TV March 14th.

THE Infinite SportsTitle Playlist  E-mail

Written by: Rob Lazlo

 

When I first sat down to write up a list of sports movies, it was coming out much too long.  I had EVERYTHING on there.  "Hmmm, M*A*S*H is a war movie, but it has that great football sequence in it;  those Harry Potter movies have the best quidditch sequences ever filmed"....


Realizing the column would wind up being 9 pages long, I then thought of doing a “top 10” list, or picking the best movies in each individual sport.  Then I scrapped all those artificial constructions and just came up with MY list.  These may or may not be the best sports movies ever, but they are my best sports movies ever. 


Every film on this list is something which struck me when I first saw it and that I can watch over and over again.  In keeping with that sort of “no particular definition” spirit, these movies are not in any order.  This is not a ranking system, it’s just a list of sports titles that won’t let you down.

 

 

 

 

Bull Durham (1988)

Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080401/Bull-Durham-baseball_l.jpg


This is a charming and very funny film about a minor league baseball team and it’s “bonus baby” rookie (Robbins).  Through the course of the season, he learns from a veteran mentor (Costner) and a cougar baseball groupie (Sarandon).  The action is as fun and easy going as a baseball game on a warm summer night, but the real strength of Bull Durham is the excellent script and fine performances from the leads.  There are TONS of laughs in this movie, and many of the very best and funniest sequences in the movie happen during conferences on the mound or in the dugout.  Bull Durham is in part a love story, but the real story is how the film perfectly captures the simple pleasure of baseball and lets you join in loving the game.

Wedding Invites: Geeky Style  E-mail
Written by Blythe Brumleve   

rogue

Wedding invitations are something that brides fuss over for months.

Should I make them myself?

What colors? Ribbons? Envelopes?

What text and font style should I use?

All of these details seem very insignificant to me as I see the wedding invitation as something my guests will just throw away after the wedding anyway, so why the big fuss?

That was until I stumbled upon these amazing invitations and save the dates that make me wish I would have put a little bit more time into my invitations other than just buying the cute ones I saw at Walmart.

Baseball Stats Explained  E-mail

Written by: Rob Lazlo


Do you ever notice at a baseball game the people who sit down and seem to take notes of what happens during a game? Those people are actually tracking the baseball stats for every single play that happens on a field.


There is literally a stat for every single thing in baseball. Stats are what separate the sport from every other professional league, everything is trackable and comparable.


Stats like "pinch runner who has hit more than 2 homeruns during a game wearing the number 6" seem like information overload but many stats are crucial to the game to track.


Let's take a look at the important ones.....
