 The Official Forum - Tossing a parent before the game?
After our first game had begun, I was pulled to the side and informed of a umpire/parent altercation one one of our other fields.
The BU was just walking into our complex about 30 minutes before his game to get something to eat at the concession stand prior to his game.
Game two-- another parent (drunk fool) threatened to whip his kid's coach, barged onto field to remove child, and after I tossed him as kindly as possible,(sir, you must leave the park), he then threatened to whip my @#$, flipping me off as he was finally escorted out of park.

 The Morning News - The Game is Afoot, by Matthew Baldwin
A few Games back, GC gave an elaborate multimedia presentation to the players on the evening before the Game began.
But Game Control makes a point of only allowing good sports to participate (hence the application process), and fealty to the “spirit of the Game” is strong amongst most.
The first clue is what Game veterans refer to as a “drag-it-back-to-the-van-and-kill-it” puzzle, meaning that it is entirely self-contained and doesn’t require any running around or interaction with the environment.

 Before the Game, Make Your Best Pitch
These are the year's best games because every pitch and every swing might mean a championship.

 IGN: Game Before the Game
Forget what Las Vegas handicappers and so-called football analysts say, this year's Game Before the Game is riding eight years of credibility by being the most accurate --a perfect 8-0-- predictor of Super Bowl champions.
While Smith and his Panthers jumped out to a 14-7 lead at halftime, the Carolina playmaker was convinced the only way he would ensure a victory would be by throwing to his Gameday 2004 counterpart early and often in the second half.
Carolina's Steve Smith walked away from the Game Before the Game with a 29-21 victory over Troy Brown's Patriots as well as now having the additional burden of stretching the event's Super Bowl prediction record to 9-0.

 SpellForce - Official Board - Before Buying the game
I was wondering if the full version game had a gamma controller bar in video options and some other stuff I noticed missing that usually an rts/rpg game usually has but didn't in the demo.
Nice graphics by the way.just as good as the new"Lords of Everquest" rts game that is out and the paperdoll menu for your heros with weapon,armor,heros etc. I like that alot better then warcraft3-exp frozen thrones heros.
I think the game looks promising to play and look forward to playing it but for people in the US they have to wait 2/10/04, thats if they order it or buy it off ebay and I would like to get an answer on these tid bits before I purchase this particular software.

 Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums - Kinda sickening having the review 3 weeks before the game
I don't ever recall a game being reviewed this far from the release date,it's kinda irritating watching everyone on every forum attacking the game from every angle for what's not in a game they have yet to play.
And now that the game has not recieved AAA 10+ reviews across the board it is being branded as a flop because it's not the best RPG in the history of the ****ing universe.
this game still brings more to the table than any action RPG in the last 10 years and people still want to cry about the stuff they couldn't get done and how the game is not the perfect 40hrs of random pop up turn based ****.

 BigSoccer Boards - Why do they water the pitch before the game?
I remember a few years ago when there was a live game on TV (I think it was at Hillsborough) and the sprinklers were on before the game whilst there was a torrential downpour!
Which is why I have seen them water the pitch before games in the Netherlands, again, in France, and in Germany.
It is watered game day, to soak in, to stop the earth from being rock-solid.

 gameSlave, Empire Earth 2 Review.
When a game has such an incredible number of individual units and buildings, it simply has to be impossible to spend as much time as you'd like on making them look state of the art in a graphical sense, not unless you have a small army of artists or unlimited time.
The game has a slighlty retro and somewhat basic look to it, it's by no means bad though, just a bit plain when compared to the really attractive RTS games that have been released recently, The Settlers: Heritage of Kings or Dawn of War for example.
The game spans 15 epochs, ranging from the stone age to the near future.

Two hours before the first pitch, the gates to the major league ballpark open and fans surge to the left- and right-field bleachers with a singular purpose — they want a baseball.
While their main purpose is to get loose and get their timing down, hitters also want to enter the game with a positive frame of mind.
In the last round of BP, some hitters will concoct games within their group, a practice often called "service time." Whoever hits the most home runs, or whatever goal is established, gets a soda or a sandwich delivered to him in the clubhouse.
