Video Game Review: Hybrid

Pressing down on the left stick will provide a quick burst of speed to get you where you’re going faster. Also, you can activate a one-time automatic retreat by pressing “B” — instantly launching you to your previous safe zone without having to aim for it. To assist you in the fight and prevent matches from transforming into camping sessions, you’ll earn gunner droids for your kill streaks, which can be dispatched with the d-pad. Drop one enemy and you’ll have a Stalker, a flying turret bot to smoke out the hiding opposition. Snagging two kills will score an upgraded model named the Warmonger. Five kills rewards you with a Preyon, a sword-bearing sleek android that delivers an instant kill to the targeted foe. Putting enough of these guys on the playing field will surely prod your enemies out of hiding and keep the matches from getting dull.

Video Game Review: Dust: An Elysian Tail

Behind this triumph is the pairing of Fidget’s elemental projectiles and your “dust storm” attack, which allows you to create a whirlwind by rapidly spinning your sword and in turn causing Fidget’s strikes to careen into your enemies over and over again. Once you get the hang of chaining attacks and juggling foes, your combos will easily exceed 1,000 hits, earning you both a satisfied smirk and some bonus experience points.

Will the Philadelphia Flyers Have Enough on D?

Coburn will now face the opponents’ top lines each night while at the same time be expected to step up offensively with Carle in Tampa Bay. Coburn had nine goals and 36 points in his first full season as a Flyer in 2007-08, but he hasn’t really come close to that since – especially in the last three seasons. Philly didn’t need Coburn to do much on the offensive end when Pronger and Carle were on the team, but it needs him now.

The Wire Troll: Danny Valencia’s Return to the Show

The kid has barely had time to catch his breath since his recall from Double-A and all he’s done so far is a two-hit (including a triple and run) debut Thursday, a two-homer, four-RBI game Friday, and his first double (plus another run and ribbie) Saturday. What? No steals yet? The stiff! Kidding aside, it’s small wonder this dude has been flying off the wire – especially since he may qualify at both 3B and SS. You need to act fast if you want in on this one.

Podcast: The Arrival of Manny Machado

nother Thursday has come and gone and that means Buck, Tim and I convened for another episode of RotoRob’s Fantasy Baseball Weekly Podcast, heard every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST on Blogtalkradio. Despite Tim’s best efforts to get RotoRob off his game (by distracting him with talk of gummy-bear topped chocolate chip cookies), the show went more or less seamlessly, as we once again tackled a whole host of Fantasy baseball related issues.

Santiago Casilla’s Struggles

Casilla was absolutely lights out in a setup role in 2010 and 2011, but he can’t seem to stop servering up dingers this year. After giving up a combined three homers in 107 IP over the last two years, he’s been burned for seven long balls in just 40 innings this year (most recently serving up a go-ahead homer in extra innings in a July 30 loss). Ugh.
