Hello again everyone! It is that time again! After 162 games of baseball, we now get to look forward to the MLB playoffs, and as such, I will deliver my yearly predictions in the rounds to come.

Pass the Controller - Free Play #1

Being that this week it was more of an impromptu Pass the Controller due to the 4th of July holiday, I figured it would be perfect for a segment I would like to call Pass the Controller - Free Play! This is different from your usual PTC episode as it is more of a general roundtable discussion about video games and may expand to topics beyond that. There are also no eliminations, and the panelists have free reign to bring up any topic that they desire. The final difference is that I get involved in the discussion as well, so these are times where everyone can hear my own opinions in regards to the topics at hand!

We will be back to our regular PTC recordings next Sunday. Until then, enjoy Pass the Controller - Free Play #1!

Topics Covered:
- Steam Summer Sale
- Team Fortress 2
- Fallout 3 vs Fallout New Vegas
- League of Legends

Panelists:
- K7

Pass the Controller - Episode 1

Here was the idea that I have been planning for a while; Pass the Controller!

What is it you may ask? Well for those who have seen the ESPN show "Around the Horn", it is similar to that in concept, except about current events in video games! I invite a group of panelists onto the show, and we discuss numerous VG-related topics. I will award points to the panelists depending on how well they make their point in the discussions. As the moderator, I do my best to direct traffic and make sure the panelists don't go off on random tangents. Every few topics, the panelist with the fewest points is eliminated. Rinse and repeat until we are down to two, and we enter the Showdown. All previous points are moot, and the final two face off in a best of three topics. The one who had the most points gets to go first. Winner gets to stand on a soap box and talk about anything they want for 30 seconds.

Something to pass the time...

Well, being that I haven't posted in a while, I figure I should do a dropping of a few of the interesting stuff I have found over my travels through the tubes. Hopefully, this can hold the time until my next actual post (hopefully my review!). Enjoy!

MLB Baseball Rankings & Predictions - Start of 2011 Season

 Well, I am back from the dead!

In celebration, I figure I will do a quick listing of the MLB teams for the start of the 2011 season in terms of who I think is the best. Will I play favorites on occasion? Probably for tiebreakers, and probably being that this is all my opinion. Mostly, though, I'll be ranking them from the best overall, to the worst overall. Enjoy!
