GTA IV Hands on Preview
by aakar on February 28, 2008
After two hours of intensive hands-on, the question is no longer “does GTA IV re-write the urban crime genre?” but, “does it blow away San Andreas?” The answer clear and simple – yes it does.
Great preview of what could very well possibly be the game of the year.

I enjoy what I do, I tap dance to work every day. I work with people I love, doing what I love. The only thing I would pay to get rid of is firing people. I spend my time thinking (…)

“Sources have been telling me that doormen at several clubs are clearing $8,000 to $10,000 a night before they share tips. So much cash is pouring in that some doormen are making $400,000 to $500,000 a year, several nightclub executives told me.”

ESPN – Els out, Tiger moves on in Match Play opening round – Golf

ESPN – Els out, Tiger moves on in Match Play opening round – Golf:
Tiger Woods was running out of holes, but not hope.
He had never fallen three holes behind and come back to win in match play as a professional, and his predicament looked particularly dire Wednesday when he took a penalty drop in the desert to lose another hole against J.B. Holmes with five to play.
What followed was a charge that had Woods pumping his fists and Holmes shaking his head.
[…]
Woods won four straight holes with three birdies and a 35-footer for eagle to produce another stunning rally in the desert, this one allowing him to escape in the first round of the Accenture Match Play Championship.
I witnessed the 35-foot eagle putt on the 17th on the Golf channel and it was just absolutely perfect. I mean J.B. Holmes stated it best “What do you do?”
“You’re playing the best player in the world, 3 up with five to play,” Holmes said. “I just said, ‘Don’t do anything stupid. Make him beat you.’ And he did. What do you do?”

No More Discussing the 2007/2008 NFL Season
by aakar on February 19, 2008
It’s been a few weeks since the shame that occurred on a cool, brisk, February Sunday evening. Because of the obvious painful result of such an evening, there will be no discussion from here on forward about the 2007/2008 NFL Season and last seasons New England Patriots. I have moved on and am washing my hands of all that has occurred. From here on out the talk will be moving over to baseball season, march madness, the Celtics, Tiger Woods, and potentially any new trades and acquisitions by the Patriots for the 2008/2009 season.
Thank you.
Gone Baby Gone
by aakar on February 19, 2008
I had a chance to watch “Gone Baby Gone” last night and highly recommend it to anyone that hasn’t watched it yet. It’s got some superb acting, a great ensemble cast, a great story, and a pretty good twist. As much as I hate to say this, but I feel it’s necessary, Ben Affleck does indeed do a good job directing the movie. Alright that’s all, I must now go wash myself because I feel ashamed for using the name Ben Affleck in a sentence which has a positive spin.
