Recording HD Gameplay Videos
I recently made the purchase of an HD PVR. From what I had read about it and watched samples of this would provide great quality HD recordings as opposed to the capture card I have been using which did not do HD. I'm excited to be able to produce some HD video content going forward.
So I've been experimenting some since hooking it up earlier this week. While everything was easy enough to get going I'm having an issue with the playback of the videos after they are uploaded to hosting sites...
Off To See MLB 09 The Show
I'm heading out now to begin the relatively short trip down the coast to San Diego for the MLB 09 The Show Community Preview Event at SCEA. The current plan is to get a handful of hours in with the game today and then spend the majority of tomorrow playing as well.
As of now I'm still somewhat uncertain of what I'll be able to do at the event. If the circumstances present themselves I'll do a running live blog from the studio for a short period of time such as I did while at the NCAA Foot...
Pastapadre Interview
I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Jesse Behr from TheBurghBlues. Within the interview I discuss various topics including a little background on the site and assessing the current state of baseball games. You can check out the full interview here.
TBB: MLB Front Office Manager is a coming out later this month for the "real" baseball fan - a managing simulator with no real gameplay. Can you give us a little information about it? Do you believe there is a market big enough for MLB F...
Upcoming MLB 09 The Show Community Event
The end of the month will bring the first ever community event hosted by SCEA as myself and a select few others head down to San Diego to check out MLB 09 The Show. While the event takes place at a point in development where the game is already complete, this does provide an opportunity not only to collect information and impressions for 09 but also to begin offering invaluable feedback and suggestions to be considered going forward.

Live Blog: NFL Week 17
955: Alright all set to go. I've got the Pats @ Bills and Giants @ Vikings as the early games and will follow along with the others.
957: The intense wind I have to think favors the Bills. Both teams may be forced to almost run exclusively. Field goals will be an adventure.
1004: Bad weather games are always fun to watch. Going to be interesting to see how they deal with this wind.
1008: The first punt goes only 13 yards because of the wind. Crazy.

Live Blog on Sunday 12/28
With a big slate of games scheduled for Sunday I thought it would be a good time to hold another live blog. It is shaping up to be a great day of football. Beginning at kickoff of the first set of games I will have up a live blog posting which will be updated frequently throughout the course of the day and possibly even during the Sunday night game. I've listed out a few of the more compelling matchups that have huge playoff implications.

Pastapadre Home Club
Playstation Home finally hit open beta yesterday. While it isn't offering much right now it seems likely that gaming companies will be adding their own spaces where they can advertise and sell Home related items of their own with potential for more. I wouldn't be surprised to see EA and 2K Sports with theirs sometime in the near future. Also you can set up clubs which can assist in launching games with members. I believe I can only host one club but that individuals are able to join a handfu...
The Line Drive
As some of you may have already noticed I have installed a new comment system. This one seems to work well in both Firefox and IE and has replies show up in threaded form. It also allows registered users to give a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" to any particular comment. I'll be looking to find a way to allow for the editing of comments in the near future.
I've started back using Twitter so anyone that would like to follow along here is my address. I've also added the last two updat...
