April 2003 Archives

April 27, 2003

Our annual RBI Tournament is less than a week away. We have a new entrant this year, one Jason Brand. He and Lips are in becaues they survived last week's qualifier. The stage is now set for RBI Tournament 2003. It's on baby!

Since I didn't have much to do this weekend, I decided it would be a good time to take out some NES games. Lips and I beat Goonies II on Friday night, a pretty fun game. Yesterday Potsie and I defeated Batman, a most difficult game, especially the final level. Finally, I took down Robocop, a boring and very shitty game. The NES Victory page has been updated...

I am still playing Battletoads as well, and have gotten to the final level (12). That game is way too fucking hard, and the worst part is the limited continues. I hate starting over, it blows. Battletoads will be beaten though. Oh yes, it will be beaten...

The big anticipation around Dee-Nee land is this Saturday's 4-man qualifier for the 2003 RBI Tournament. Since Potsie and I made the finals last year, we have automatically qualified for the semi-finals. With Sperling still sitting up in Wisconsin waiting to go to war/peace, we have three new entrants - Jason, Nick and Zorba. The remaing member of the foursome is Lips, who desperately seeks his first title. Saturday's games will be played via the standard tourney rules, though since it's only a qualifier the finals will not be played. Top two records out of the round-robin make it to the big tourney, which will be played in a few weeks. We will have plenty of footage this year, as we're going to run the NES through a VCR and record all the games. So expect some crazy plays and glitches early next week. In the meantime, vote for who you think will qualify...

As I've been helping my newbie brother prepare for the qualifier, I have been playing many games with Houston in the last couple weeks. As a result, I realized that my Houston Synopsis was in dire need of amendment. It is now up to date with my current Houston winning strategies...

Finally, I've updated the Hall of Shame Page in light of a few recent happenings - Jose Canseco's house arrest and self-prostitution on EBay and Kirby Puckett's acquittal of groping charges. Strawberry is out of jail now, so expect an update or two from him shortly...
