My 30 Team Challenge

[Turd]

Man, I just ordered a whole array of spices to make some great stuff, pepperoni, pepper/garlic, andoullae, teriyakie...

[Turd]

Someone wrote a kaillera netplay client that allows you to connect directly to your opponent bypassing servers, and it's like buttah...

I've definitely played with that and have still had lag issues sometimes.  

Usually it's just fine, but when it's late in the game, lag can kill a game almost as bad as missing a roughing the passer or facemask call...

I don't know, brother, NES leagues are almost exclusively Nestopia nowdays and it's been pretty smooth sailing...

[Attezz]

There were a few seconds of lag when i played Tecmoturd the other night, but it was sorted out almost instantly and was really smooth the rest of the way.

Until Gregg Zaun hit a two run home run, of course, than it could go fuck itself.

[Turd]

Lag, or hiccups...let me define what I'm saying...

Lag - The delay that occurs between when you press a button and the sprites on the field react to that button press.
Ex. pressing "A" and then a brief pause, and then the swing occurs

Hiccups - A quick moment in the game where it pauses for a second, before catching up with itself and resuming...if it's a bad connection, it can jump a lot

I've not had true lag in any game I've played using nestopia/p2p kaillera.  I've had hiccups, usually when I've had a bunch of crap running (like AIM, or my antivirus updates, or whatever).  Soon as I closed that stuff, no more hiccups.  Still, some connections are more susceptible to hiccups (especially wireless connections with cheap hardware, that stuff drops packets like a muther chuck.

So, in conclusion, there are hiccups occasionally, but to me, the chance to play online is worth it.

Beat Boston in a crazy slugfest...  Homers everywhere in a 5-3 victory.

Pujols had 2, Holliday and Rasmus had one apiece.

Ortiz and Ellbury for Boston connected deep.

Even RPs Miller and Papelbon almost went deep (they were both easy outs, but impressive shots for pitchers).

I'm beginning to think Pujols might be a little too overjuiced, he's so crazy good...  but on the other hand he really is that good, so I'm not sure.

That's about what I figured.  I want to say that's too good, but then again Pujols is too good in real life, so...

He's basically a Jorge Bell with more pop.  So sick...

[Turd]

Hard to not give a guy who hits that many homers the max power (in my rating system, anyways)

[Gantry]

It's pronounced "poo holes" - lol

[Turd]

And the "s" at the end implies that he has more than one poo hole. Awesome.

[Re-Peat]

Well, it's the contact that's so noticeable.  Everything jumps off his bat.

But then again, if anyone in the league deserves good contact, it's Pujols.

And maybe that Mauer guy too.  But fuck him, right Attezz?

[Attezz]

Hey, Re-peat, how do you feel about Pujols?

Do you think he's any good?

[Re-Peat]

Nah, he's a fucking bum. 

He has some potential, but he just never really seems to get focused enough to keep his eye on the ball.

[Attezz]

I'm glad we can finally hear your opinion of him in this thread.

[Attezz]

Someone play me online

[Turd]

I'll be around this evening to play a game or two...i'm gonnan play with my son now...

[Re-Peat]

Edged out Cincy 4-2 with a 2 run Holliday blast in the 9th.  I don't know why but something made the Cincy pitchers really good, I was on the ropes all game until Cordero ran out of steam and floated a meatball to Holliday.

Carpenter gave up another couple of blasts, management is going to have a word with him...

[Attezz]

I've slaughtered all three teams.

It is insanely easy to upload the stuff to the website, insanely. This is really good stuff.

[Turd]

You're really slaughtering teams. Wonder why you're doing so much better than I? Glad you find it easy. Hopefully others will too.

[Attezz]

The first twelve games or so was a bit of a struggle, kinda figured out the pitching pattern though and it's gotten easier for me to wear down the pitcher by about the third inning.

The Boston game was a bit of a massacre though.

I may go ahead and use the slider things and up the CPU settings for the next batch of games though.
