Can a Psychic Really Predict the Future?

Many people spend hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of dollars to know their future. The most approached method is consulting a psychic. But here, the question is, can a psychic really predict your future? Apparently, yes, but only a genuine psychic can do this.

There are some who claim themselves as real psychics who merely share predictions on your future, just randomly. By the time you realize in the future that the prediction went wrong, it would be already too late, and your money went into wain.

2016 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

matt mcgloin Week 17 Oakland Raiders playoffs NFL YODAI finished 9-7 last week and suffered a few bad beats. I want to end the regular season with a strong week, but Week 17 is usually a crap shoot.

I’ve spent the last couple days battling a horrible flu. I did have a chance to study who may sit Week 17. I also explain which teams still have something to play for this Sunday.

A lot of weird stuff happens during the last week of the season. We are almost guaranteed to have some receiver or running back have 200+ yards or some backup quarterback pull a ‘Matt Flynn’ and throw for a ton of yards. Can Raiders backup QB Matt McGloin be this year’s Week 17 surprise?

We pick ever NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2016 NFL season.

The Movies that Made Us All Want to Win Big

Hollywood has always loved casinos. Over the years, countless films have taken advantage of the unique atmosphere and ambience of casinos to tell stories of dramatic gambles and life-changing wins.

It is no coincidence that the popularity of casino games has skyrocketed in the past 30 years, following the release of several films that changed the way people viewed casinos, and created a mystique around particular games that captivated theatre audiences.

Movies like Casino, Ocean’s Eleven, and Rounders made a huge impact on cinemagoers, and for many avid gamblers it was a movie experience that sparked their interest in games like poker and blackjack, long before they ever set foot in a casino.

2013 March Madness: Bubble Teams

John+Caliperi+Kentucky+Bubble+Team+2013+NCAA+TournamentThe NCAA Tournament is right around the corner and teams pushing to win their conference tournaments and assure a spot in this season’s ‘Big Dance’.

There were a few smaller conference upsets that limited the number of at-large bids the larger conferences usually dominate.

Many of the teams on the “bubble” are perennial favorites, like Kentucky who want to defend their title. A few newcomers are also on the bubble, like La Salle who haven’t made the NCAA Tournament since 1992.

Which current bubble teams are safe to receive at-large bids and which teams still have work to do? Continue reading

NHL Talk: Bad Refs, Viktor Fasth & ‘Bros Night Out’

Ted+Movie+Bong

Two hockey guys talking hockey.

Joe Pasquali and Eddie Theisen are two die-hard NHL fans. They both watch every hockey game, every night (almost).

The guys talk about Viktor Fasth, bad referee calls, who is the best goalie in the Western Conference and if Colorado’s “Guys Night Out” is the NHL team’s ticket promotion with the most popped collars.

It’s also National Chili Day. It’s an excuse to eat your weight in Skyline Chili.

By the way, neither of these guys have a girlfriend.

This is their email conversation the following morning. Continue reading

2013 Fantasy Baseball: Top 30 First Baseman + Sleepers

Albert+Pujols+2013+Los+Angeles+Angels+MLBFirst Base is the deepest position in fantasy baseball this year.  A first baseman who swing for the fences are not hard to find in 2013. You add that group with the recent trend of young catchers playing their off days at first base and you understand why this area is so deep.

Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder are in the second year of their American League switch. Will they see a stat increase or will pitchers figure them out?

A group of young first baseman are entering their prime. Will Freddie Freeman, Anthony Rizzo, Eric Hosmer or Ike Davis jump to the next level?

My rankings are based on a standard 5×5 league. If you have any specific questions about a different league, email me BobbyMcrib@gmail.com. Continue reading

Serena Williams Loses Match, Threatens Judge

Serena Williams lost the semi-final match in the 2009 U.S. Open match because of her temper. She isn’t known for her temper, but she let it get the best of her tonight. What did Serena Williams say? Check it out with a video of the incident.

Serena Williams faulted on the serve and she tried again and she looked to have her foot on the line while serving, thus causing a double fault. It was nearing the end of the match against Kim Clijsters. The line judge instantly called the double-fault and Serena had a few words for her. I saw the replay a few times and it appears that she said “You’re dead, you’re dead!” to her, or something that looks like those words. The line judge went to the head judge and claimed that Williams threatened to kill her. Williams denied the claim, but she received a one point penalty, which caused her the match, since it was match point for Clijsters

Imagine how many time that John McEnroe threatened to kill the judges when he was playing. I never noticed that him ever getting such a penalty, but I could be wrong.

Here is the video of the Serena Williams incident.

A Possible New Home For Sweetbob

I just wanted to inform my readers that I have been offered a deal with a sports-blogging network to write for them. I would be covering the Indiana Pacers and Columbus Blue Jackets. I just wanted to let everyone know in advance. Though it will not change this blog at all, I will still keep it active. There will be two more ways of reading my material in the near future.

I will keep everyone up-to-date on the news once it become official.

Nintendo shits their pants. Or according to them someone put poop in ’em.

Uh oh. Did you feel that? It was Nintendo’s shudder when they realized that they might not have the upper hand anymore. The Wii Motion Plus, what once seemed like another nail in Microsoft and Sony’s coffin, now looks like one of Nintendo’s old forays into forgettable peripherals. Motion controllers are old tech now and the other two guys might of caught up in an overzealous leap.

Don’t get me wrong here. Nintendo isn’t crashing and burning right now. But now they are playing defense to justify themselves. Unfortunately it’s not coming off very well. Nintendo definitely had us drinking their Kool-aid for sure. People were storming stores looking for plastic wheels, boards with pressurized feet, and analog sticks with an accelerometer in them. In the wake of Project Natal (Microsoft’s motion tech) and whatever Sony’s will be named motion tech, this makes all of Nintendo’s efforts either look very archaic or very childish. Did I mention expensive? No one really knows what the price will be for Natal and PS3’s tech but, there were some clues dropped for anybody who wants to pay attention. They did say that Natal was going to be packaged in with 360 units. That can’t be said yet with Motion Plus and at 25 bucks a pop you just paid 100 bucks to get everybody on your system up to date. Not to mention the 3 other Wiimotes you bought to get everybody to play. $220 now if you are keeping score. How many Natals do you need to have 4 people play? One. Now you have a place with a bunch of white plastic laying around.

Yet you are going to have the forum dwellers post with all their exquisite apathy and shrug. Looking cooler than ever before. They will say that Nintendo’s works just fine and it’s good enough for them. Or that Natal and Sony’s tech isn’t that great. What was Nintendo’s new tech? The heart monitor. That will definitely see as much use as the Wiispeak. Maybe it’ll be easy to point out how horrible the presentation was for Natal and laugh. Yet I suppose everybody is easy to forget about last years Wii Music and Ravi Drums. You could say Natal-station3(whatever) won’t work as advertised. Fair enough I say. I am not holding my breath for being able to show my girlfriends new dresses they should buy and have an online fashion party. But people are playing it and their impressions are way more positive than I thought were going to be.

In the end maybe this the best thing for Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, and all of us. Competition will spur more innovation. Maybe it’ll spur better use of motion controls in actual games. Whatever it is, it will definitely be a unique time to be a gamer. Less party games though. Oh god the party games.

Oh and what the fuck is up with that Milo? Peter, seriously?

Casual gaming: Not Your Mom’s PopCap Games Anymore


The term “casual gaming” only really is noticed by the “core” gamer. It is the one phrase that you can say and instantly see a forum war unravel right infront of your eyes. That phrase is somewhat to a threat to their very existance because they see it as the platform where they will be ignored and “core” gaming will go extinct.

You maybe playing some of these games and don’t even know it. Bejeweled is one of the most prolific examples of casual games. The mom who is addicted to Zuma or the guy who spends his time playing tower defence games at work on the computer are good examples. I believe the definition for casual games goes beyond some marketing jargon. What seems casual to me is a game that you can invest a little in and get out quickly. Price should also factor in too. A game with simple gameplay mechanics and structure should reflect that in their price tag as well. It’s all part of the investment of developers and mine. Yet don’t confuse that with how much enjoyment it can give you. I can have as much fun with iDracula as something like Fable 2. Both are great games despite the $59 difference in price.

Yet many gamers and nongamers alike dismiss each others games. And many for valid reasons. But I believe the lines are getting blurry and it will be hard to distinguish the critirea of what’s “casual” and what’s “core”. One new example is with the recent launch of Quake Live. Quake Live is basically good ol’ Quake 3 Arena that you can play through your browser. Sounds pretty straight foward and it sure plays like it (Quake 3 was, I thought, one of the purest gaming experiences). Though what maybe overlooked is the leaps that this makes. A real fps that anyone can play on really any computer (unless your compy is from like 1995 and has a turbo button or a Mac) without installing any programs just some plug-ins on your browser. Couple with the fact you will be playing online with tons of people and you already a have a really fantastic idea. Still some people may say that they are really bad at these type of games. Thats ok too, because once you sign-up the first thing you do is play a match against a bot to test where your skill lies. Then afterwards you will be suggested games that contain players from a similar skill set that you possess. This makes playing matches very fun because you’re not getting you ass handed to you by the people who don’t do anything but play Quake since it came out. You can then make friends and add them to a list to play with them later or even clan matches if thats your cup of tea. Best of all is that your profile is saved to the site not your computer. So you can play on your profile from virtually where ever you can get online. So you could play a match or two on your break at work or pull an all nighter if you want to get your hands real dirty.

 

Which goes back to my point about “casual” games. Quake’s mechanics are simple enough i.e., shoot dudes. You don’t have to invest much time or any money to get into it (Quake Live is ad supported, yet I haven’t noticed any) to get alot of enjoyment. Just go to the site and in a matter of seconds you’ll find yourself in a match. Play one or two and then just close the browser (or check out some random Youtube videos). Sounds pretty casual to me. Even your mom can jump in a game with ease. So in the end Quake Live blends elements of a  “casual” and “core” game (this is a real fps after all) into a great package that everybody should check out. Play some matches and then hit me up on the comments and I may come by to frag ya online.
