Actually, I now feel bad for the guy and I retract my statement about him deserving the harsh media coming his way. If anything, I now think the harsh media should go to MLB in general for not having some form of instant replay system, which would've prevented such a travesty. Human error is forgivable.No instant replay? That's kinda strange. o_o
I don't think you fully understand what just happened though, so I'll calmly explain...Not a baseball fan at all, but holy crap, the umpire actually did that? That doesn't just go against simple fair play morality, but to get him like that? OBVIOUS payroll.
In baseball, a pitchers goal is to shut the offense of the opponents team down, to try and keep them from scoring runs so that your team can win. This is not an easy task because baseball is full of great hitters that are trying their hardest to win. In fact, a perfect game is probably the hardest achievement for a pitcher to get. A Perfect Game means that you did not allow a hit or a runner on the base at all. The pitcher has to get 27 straight outs. To put things into perspective, over the 100+ year span of Baseball, with over 100+ games being played by over 25-30+ teams a YEAR, it has only been done 20 times in Baseball history. 20. That's it. Just 20 pitchers have done it. I'm stressing this point so you can grasp how great, extremely hard, and impressive an achievement this is for a pitcher in baseball.
Well, today a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers named Armando Galarraga was 1 out away from pitching a Perfect Game. On what should have been the final out, the umpire called the base runner safe.
This was what should have been the final out of Galarraga's perfect game. As you can clearly see, the runner is out. He is CLEARLY out. 95% of the time, closer plays at 1st base like this are still called out, but this was not a close play. The runner was clearly out. Galarraga was robbed of what is known as "baseball immortality" because of one of the worst blown ump calls in baseball history. I'm not even a Detroit Tigers fans but when it comes to Perfect Games, pretty much all baseball fans, even fans of the team that is getting shutout, will pull together and root for that pitcher to get his perfect game. So this whole thing infuriated me and made me sick to my stomach. To have your perfect game taken away by a call like this is just unbelievable.
That's why I flew off the handle.
Maybe we are wrong here flash. It might not just be unleashedWHY. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY am I SUCH a sucker for beautiful levels. Because those levels DO look damn beautiful, and if the gameplay isn't just running forward and actually has powerup imput to conquer obstacles... they might GET IT RIGHT. But I won't get my hopes up. Nope, won't get fooled again until I watch some damn gameplay.
These scans are from Sonic Retro. I did not make them.
Those are very true.Alright, I'm making a request myself. Let's see who handles this.
He didn't just play a big part in making Wally awesome, but he made the Rogues so much more bad-ass than ever before. I love what Wally tells Bruce after Capt. Boomerang kills Drake's father. "Your villains are crazy. Mine are organized." What I'm really happy with was that he didn't kill Kyle Rayner, my personal fav. GL.Yep. And fully fleshed out origins for the Rogues in their own issues. That was awesome. And while Kyle was deemed to a less stand-off role, he's as awesome as ever in GLC. The Ion thing suited him for awhile, but now he's back to being a good ol' Green Lantern, leaving the tougher tasks to Sodam Yat. Who I still don't know what state is in, but grinned maliciously when his planet got doomed after he was plucked from the sun by who looks like Krona.
Hopefully thats only a portion of a few stages. I would like to see some fast paced, but not insanely fast platforming stages myself. Sonic doesn't always have to use the boost does he? Is the boost function really that necessary to make a good Sonic game?Nope. I actually think that making SLOWER Sonic games would save the character. But Sonic Team won't hear it. "HE'S FAST, SO HE NEEDS TO BE FAST. SINGLEDIMENSIONAL CHARACTER TRAIT"
Heh, you're right. Curse you Geoff, I'm all excited again.I love and hate Geoff Johns so much. I hate it how he basically disregards all of the DC Universe's newer heroes in favor of their counterparts from the Silver Age. And how he killed Kal-L. ;________;
) the comic just reeked of 90's "X-TREEEME" and I'm glad to see Hal back in the leading role, with Emerald Warriors and GLC as the comics of totally bro GLs kicking ass. And to be radically frank, all naysayers of Geoff replacing Wally with Barry should look at the fact that JOHNS PLAYED A BIG PART IN MAKING WALLY AWESOME. He wrote most of the 90's comic arcs, along with Waid, that got Wally to be a respected character we love. But Wally's grown too much. He got his wife, his kids, and his happy ending. Let's leave him to "end" as a main character who keeps suffering like all heroes do, and keep building on Barry, who could use a TON of quality character development.
*backs away slowly*Sports, just like following a kind of fiction, or getting addicted to a series or something, is a passion. And seeing these players perform is unbelievably good. It sucks when stuff's unfair, and the whole rage is just part of the experience. There's no sports without rage and friends to share that rage with. It's mostly about getting a bunch of friends, a ton of beers, and watching the game.
No offense but this is why I'm not into sports the fans get too hyped up and angry and the players act like they are the best people in everything when they don't realize that not one human can posses every skill possible not even in a single subject. There will always be stronger, faster, and wiser people who can bring each other down, it is why a person can't fully support themselves whether it's a game or life. Only when people work together in harmony with thier different streghts, styles, and perception can they be a force to be reckoned with.
Yeah that makes sense seeing how PB just blew up.
Is Elite Beat Agents recent enough?Sure. And I kinda meant I preferred recent games, but nothing wrong with any game really.
Well if GL's or Lanterns of any kind aren't a class, then I'm probably definitely not getting it. Don't get me wrong, Super Speed is my absolute favorite superpower, but I wanna be a Green Lantern!No, Flashpoint is the Zoom Corps War. Look at the preview page again.
LoL, and I believe it's called Flashpoint!
I know that I've constanly disiplined myself with that for most of my life, and I know there is a hell of a lot of room for improvement. For example my rythms are not very stable and I take a slower approch to learning music, that's the main reason I didn't make it so I have to work on that.Good! Now wax on, wax off, Daniel-San! Get to stabilizing your rythm, improving your overall tone and try to get more control over quick pitch changes, for example.
It IS a win button though, in that you can spam it with no real penalty/recoil time in the least. You press the button over and over, while Sonic does things automatically until there's no more targets in his immediate range.Sega got around this by placing stuff like the electric shielded enemies and the robots that had shields and needed a summersault to the legs to die. It's not like the homing attack is invincible either. If you use it without aim just to get velocity, you might lose control and fall off whatever platform you're in. If you have any other idea of how to control speedy spin jumps to kill enemies with precision, you have my attention. But as far as I'm concerned, the homing attack is simply a means to play the game, just like the other attacks. SA1 and 2 had levels adapted for the homing attack and Sonic's other abilities. They worked.
At least with the various things that occurred in the 3D Marios, it wasn't so much a "free pass". Melee attacks in 64 required you to get up close and personal, with danger to yourself still present, since Mario didn't have invincibility frames on his moves. FLUDD had, fundamentally speaking, "limited ammunition". The Galaxies had the spin attack which had a "reload" time before you could use it again.
For Homing Attack to be a base ability available to the central character of a platformer without upgrades/power-ups, it's a pretty busted ability, admittedly. And if the best that Sega could do to "account" for the ability is integrate "enemy bridges" as a part of the level design, then that's just another facet that represents something's not quite right with the overall design of the game/games.
If Super Castlevania's "limp whip" isn't immune from this type of critique (and I love that game to pieces), then the Homing Attack certainly is not something that can be ignored either, in my eyes.
Why must weather be so stupid?Because it hasn't gone to school?
I don't smoke, unless you were joking.[Top Spin] = cigarette, mate.
Do you really need to swear so much to prove a point? And does the use of the word "[Top Spin]" have anything to do with said point?Maybe he just wants a cigarette.
Flash's posts are making me lol... for real this time...Why? O_o
