Rock Band
I am so in love with this game that I don’t even mind how my bass pedal is ready to snap in half. I’ll avail myself of the RMA process eventually, but for now some duct tape and a couple pencils will do the trick.

Their rookie kicker looked Kathy Ireland‐level shaky in the preseason, although he’s definitely the best left‐footed African‐American kicker in NFL history.

Bioshock
I’m late to the review party (I was too busy playing the game), so all the superlatives have been used up, but Bioshock is the undisputed Game of the Year. The central plot is shaky at times, but the atmosphere created by the rich backstory and gorgeous scenery is the best I’ve ever experienced in a video game.
A reporter should not be assigned to cover subject X unless he has as good an understanding of X as a baseball writer is expected to have of baseball.
Now, I worked on [NFL] Head Coach. There’s no excuse at all for that game and I’m really, truly, sorry. We all tried submitting “Game is awful” as a bug, but nobody listened.

An exhibition basketball game at the University of Washington on Saturday demonstrated how the game would be different if the rims were eleven feet tall instead of the usual ten. Sounds like it opens up inside play, which I’m all for.
I had a Pistons fan named Duane e‐mail me, “Watching LeBron’s performance in Game 5 made me feel like Ron Burgundy. LBJ pooped in my refrigerator, ate the whole wheel of cheese and I’m not even mad. That was amazing.”
30 Rock gets renewed for the 2007–08 television season. I’m incredibly relieved that for once a show I love dearly is not cut down in its prime.
For the first time, we have two African‐American coaches in the same game (Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith). That’s going to lead to a series of columns and features about the significance of this fact, followed by a series of columns claiming that it’s 2007 and we’ll have truly broken down the race barrier when two blacks can coach in the Super Bowl without anyone mentioning this, followed by a series of columns excoriating the previous series of columns for belittling the significance of two black Super Bowl coaches in a league that has clearly been afraid to hire black head coaches. Sadly, all of this stuff will overshadow the biggest story involving an African‐American NFL coach — that the Steelers just hired Omar Epps to replace Bill Cowher.
I had no idea that The “Super Bowl Shuffle” was nominated for a grammy. I fear I am unable to cope with a world where this sort of thing is possible.
