The ball has dropped, the confetti's been swept from the floor and nobody's wearing cool hats anymore. And if you're like most guys, you opened your eyes in 2010 to a bad hangover and a list of resolutions, most of which were probably announced enthusiastically over tequila shots. Relax. It's not like the "Resolution Police" are coming to get you. But that's no reason to blame it on the alc-alc-alc-alcohol and pretend it never happened. You WILL achieve your fitness goals this year. In fact, if you're reading this you've already started. That was easy, right? Moving on.MF.com (and the mag, of course) is your best resource for annihilating any fitness goals you may have created for yourself this year.[...]
I think that Boise State is the best college football team in the country, but I don't know this for a fact. They won't have a chance to play for a national championship, and I'm sure you're all aware why. The BCS favors schools from traditional powerhouse conferences, as well as those with a rich history. Boise State has neither of those things going for them. It looks like they'll have to keep winning to eventually get a shot at the crystal football. Beyond going undefeated this year and only losing once last year, Boise will have to run the table next year, again, to qualify under the BCS's biased ranking formula. That would be a run of roughly 35-1[...]
WHAT IT IS: A first-person shooter with RPG elements, set on a far-off intergalactic wasteland. You play as one of four mercenaries whose main goal is to shoot everything that moves. Your other main goal is to collect the bits of glowing material (called loot) and cash that you'll find around every corner. A big part of the game is collecting to help you upgrade. That and shooting this with awesome guns.The publisher, Gearbox, actually created an AI system that allows for brands to create their own weapons. Several manufacturers in the game (early on, they have names like "Terrible" or "Cheap," meaning that they're old and rusty and ineffective) will make a slightly better or worse version of that[...]
Yes, you get a gun. Just not yet.K, so. There's a bunch of titles flooding gamers this fall, and a lot of them seem to be pretty good. But there's a difference between being good, and actually being worth $60. So which titles should make you break out your debit card?Let's start with Halo 3: ODST.WHAT IT IS: The latest installment in the Halo franchise, originally conceived as DLC, but eventually became it's own standalone title. ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. You are not going to be controlling Master Chief, but a regular soldier who isn't like nine feet tall. Initially, Bungie wanted to make the ODST concept an add-on to Halo 3 to enrich the story, but[...]
I can't help but be taken aback by how forcefully so many people in this country are campaigning against health care reform. They're tactics are ugly - name-calling ("our President is a communist!") and rumor-mongering ("He'll kill the elderly!") chief among them. Obviously, everyone's allowed to have their own opinion in this country, but it's a fact, not an opinion, that big corporations currently control the majority of the U.S's health care programs, and lesser-developed countries than our own (at least industrially) have far more effective gov't-run health care programs (and somehow, they haven't become militant, socialist states.) This may or may not be in our best interests.We should stop worrying so much about everyone else, about buzzwords and scare[...]
UFC 2009: Undisputed has sold millions of copies, and the momentum behind the sport, and the video game, continues to push the franchise to produce new content. Check out this clip of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan in the studio working on audio for the next UFC game, which should compete with EA's MMA title, due out next summer, from one of the best sports game blogs out there, Pastapadre.com:"Joe Rogan has posted up a video of himself and Mike Goldberg recording some audio for UFC 2010. Nothing about the game to learn from the video except that clearly it's in active development and likely to be out next summer to compete with EA MMA."Speaking as someone with 90 wins[...]
