Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, The Miz and Bryan Danielson putting on a refreshingly old-school wrestling match last night, “Sugar” Shane Mosley’s horrific fight against Sergio Mora, or The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.
Tokyo Game Show 2010 is over and there were so many interesting happenings at the show. What was your favorite bit of TGS 2010 news? As for me, I was thrilled with Team Ico’s announcements. The new trailer for The Last Guardian is fantastic — I think I’ve watched it around 43 times already. I’m also super psyched that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are being re-released in HD (not so interested in 3D though).
Now it’s your turn! Was there anything at TGS 2010 that made you especially happy, excited, or giddy (special bonus if it made you all three!)?
No I have no comment for TGS (The Girlie Show..?)
@ N8R
I watched gone by the way of flesh this morning before work, it was soooo bad but it was soooo damn good at the same time. Thanks for the laughs, I also rated it 4 stars!
@ Big Blak
Terrible is an appropriate word to describe it.
Thanks for the support.
@ Football
The Steelers kick ass. Who knows who's gonna QB next week, but god damn… 7 TURNOVERS!!!! That's right, that's the same number of Lombardi trophies we're gonna have at the end of this year.
@ Fantasy football
If Frank Gore has a terrible game tonight, then I beat Tokz.
@n8r
that's dumb too! Stupid Lovie benches Aromashodu and gives no reason, if i knew he wasn't going to play i would've played Dez Bryant. my hatred for Lovie continues. this is dumb. i had the 2nd highest points last week and lose to Big Blak's team; now this shit. i have the worst luck in fantasy football.
I can see the Steelers losing to NOLA in the big dance.
More than likely Pats vs Saints.
@ Smartguy
The survey I just took says you are incorrect.
Granted, the survey consisted of voices in my head, but 5 out of 6 said Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl.
The other voice just kept shouting "tacos" over and over again.
@N8R
Hehe. They did good yesterday no doubt. I still hold my reservations about Tomlin that we discussed in preseason though.
Troy Polamalu is arguably the best Steeler of all time though. I'm also happy that the Steelers totally punked overrated VY. That guy is garbage
i can't wait for tomorrow. it's ps3 gold box deals on amazon all day.
@smartguy VY has something most Qbs don't have, heart
@rest of nfl watch out for my Texans even though our corners suck
@topic nothing made me happy about tgs
@redtailman
i'll tell you one thing i don't regret my decision of starting Schaub over Vick anymore. it wasn't looking good for my other fantasy team during the first half.
@redtail
He also cries like a bitch. There's a difference between being a pussy and having heart. I think he is all pussy.
@ Smartguy
Best Steeler of all-time is a tricky proclamation. It really depends on how you look at the game changing since the 70's. Since the game had to change because of Mean Joe Greene, I'd put him in contention with Troy.
But Trot is arguably one of the best backfielders in the history of the league.
*Troy
i really didn't hear anything from TGS that impressed me. i think the only thing that got me excited was to hear that the 3DS was going to be available in Japan starting this Nov. I cant wait to hear more on it.
@the Miz/Danielson
damn it! i forgot the ppv was on. It was in Chicago too! -10 awareness
@Mosely vs Mora
they both didn't deserve to win that fight but Mosely did do the most to win it i guess. i'm glad the judges had it a tie. this was a waste of my friend's money. I was really impressed with Canelo. This kid has a bright future.
@beatles vs stones
@rpad did you just see," I love you, man"? for me it's the Beatles. i can keep listening to their music over and over again with the Stones i eventually get tired of it and ban them for awhile on Pandora/slacker.
I vote Stones.
@tokz_21 It was a really good match. I expect that from Danielson, but The Miz worked the arm/shoulder in that classic Arn Anderson way.
@All Anyone having problems viewing the site in mobile mode? It's not loading for me on my phone, but it's fine on my laptop.
@ Ray
Mobile style is fine on my iPhone 4.
I vote Stones as well, Paperback Writer, nah, give me Mothers Little Helper.
Moves slow Ray. Otherwise fine.
Could be AT&T though
Thanks for checking guys! I cleared cache and cookies. For some reason that fixed everything. I hate when stupid solutions like that work.
@smartguy I would bitch too if I got benched for Kerry Collins
I was happy to see the Penn State alum move in for Vince Young.
He did better than Young did as well.
@Ray
Speaking of Stupid solutions. I found out today that I have not been getting SMS although I could send it. Went to AT&T to store and stood for 2 hours. Then I decided to get rid of some software that they don't "allow". Deleted PDANet then reset. Got a flood of SMS after that. Right when they called me up the phone was starting back up and just started chiming like crazy. Told them it was fixed and left.
@SlickyFats Wow. That's pretty nuts. I'm glad I use Google Voice for SMS. It's nice to type it out on your PC, have it all archived, etc.
@rpad
I guess i have to dl the ppv now.
@slicky
I had the same thjnghappen this morning!
Okay… here's something that may affect us as gamers very soon:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-20016864-92.html…
How do you think it will be before Bobby Kocklick or EA start suing Gamestop?
@Redtail
Imagine how Collins feels having to play behind Young. He won 13 games for them 2 seasons ago. Last year the team wasn't clicking for whatever reason and Fischer is told to put Young in by the owner. Young reaps the benefits of Johnson being unstoppable. We can jaw back and forth on either side of this.
Young is not a good qb in the end though. He makes bad decisions and can't adjust to a defense.
I think his attitude is poor because in college and high school he was a man amongst boys. Particular at Texas he had good talent around him and they were dominant in their conference. I don't count Oklahoma because Bob Stoops can't win a BCS game lol. Now that he is in the NFL he gets way too down trodden about not being able to just do what he wants on the field when compared to college.
Maybe if he weren't so worried about going back to his old campus with his money and fancy ride so he could be the big man on campus and focused on learning the pro level game he would do better. Until VY came along I never gave any thought to a wonderlic (sp?) result. Now it could mean something.
I hope I have not offended you.
@N8R considering the type of things you can get sued for I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet
@smartguy none taken I have to admit I am kind of a fanboy towards By and I love your comment about big (choke) game stoops F OU
I used to think that Kerry Collins looked like Triple H. As he's gotten older, he's looking more like HBK.
@Redtailman
I enjoyed when LSU stomped OU's ass. Stoops and White had that coming.
@Ray
Oh wow you are right.
The Dirty Birds are back!!!!
Back?
@RRODisHere Damn. I was hoping that Backstreet was back.
@ Ray
Don't you know that bird is the word?
I was under the impression that everybody knows about the bird.
Bird is the word?
@Raymond Padilla
EVERYBODY………..GRAB SOMEBODY!!!!!!! BACKSTREET'S BACK ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!
@Smartguy
Yes, we're back putting up points the way we are supposed too.
@Ray
How do you use Google Voice for SMS???
@RROD
Next week my friend…next week.
@ redtailman
@N8R
HAHAHA.
Actually I found it interesting that "According to Gallop Polls: 1 in 12 American's is unaware that the Bird is the Word."
@Smartguy
Next week indeed.
@Eagles
Andy Reid doesn't want to win since he won't go with Mike Vick.
@RROD
Saints aren't the Cards and Derek Andersen is no Brees. Gonna be a good one though.
Yeah Reid is dumb. Vick back to the bench.
@Smartguy
Falcons are no Vikings. Matt Ryan didn't miss all of training camp and had to be begged to play when he didn't want to and Matt has 2 pro bowl receivers to throw to. And you're right, it will be a good one.
Vick will be back at start. There's no way Kolb is gonna maintain.
@SlickyFats You haven't tried the Google Voice web client or app?
@RROD
Matt Ryan is an avg quarterback dude. Minn has a better team than Atlanta. Mike Smith is a better coach though. I'm convinced now after the last 3 games Minn has played that Childress must get overwhelmed coaching his team or something. He just makes a lot of bad decisions.
@N8R
No clue on durability of Kolb. Off to a rough start it would seem. I think Reid is stubborn enough to ride Kolb though.
@Smartguy
The Vikings WERE a better team than Atlanta but not now without Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin and Brett Favre looking too old to play. I agree that Matt Ryan is average right now and needs to improve.
@Andy Reid
He don't want to admit that he was wrong putting all of his faith in Kolb.
@RROD
Yeah Reid will not admit he messed up.
oh my god, im back again
@Ray
Yeah I have google voice and I use it for my Voicemails, but I don't see anything in it about SMS management.
@SlickyFats You have to use a Google Voice number. I switched over early this year because it was way more convenient. You can send messages from your PC or phone (obviously). You can also keep archives online. Check out http://voice.google.com
@Ray
I have GV on my phone and I am signed up with it online. I like being able to see all my VoiceMails. But when I signed up (a month or so ago) I used my current cell number and I can't find anything in my account about controlling SMS.
