Video Game Review: Tekken 6
For beginners, the learning curve may be steep, though the very helpful practice mode is willing to hold your hand until you get up to speed. It’s best to stick with one character until you’re comfortable with the general game timing and control scheme; after a few hours, you should have seen enough of the roster that you can select the fighter you want to perfect.

Fantasy Hockey Roundtable: Who Surprised the Most in the First Half?
This week, the Fantasy Hockey Roundtable was asked “Which player surprised you the most in the first half of the season (either by performing well above or well below your expectations) and do you think he’ll rebound/collapse? Who do you think will be the surprise player of the second half?”

The Wire Troll: Delayed Gratification
People often ask me ‘hey did you see that, or did you go to that game?’ Well, Sunday night was one of those rare instances that I got to see something people do not see very often. This was a resumption of a hockey game that had been suspended because the arena circuit breaker blew. The Devils were nice enough to compensate fans who were at the original game with tickets to another game on top of honouring their tickets to Friday. About 3,500 brave souls went to this “abbreviated” game where the final 29:12 was wrapped up. The Devils were down 3-0 at “halftime” and lost 4-2. They did come close, but as you know, close is not good enough (except in horseshoes and nuclear war).

The Wire Troll: Mr. Big Shot is Back
There has been a ton of real and cyber-ink already spilled about this situation, so we’ll skip the editorial histrionics and focus on the Fantasy implications a bit further on. Don’t bother trying to glean any “personal” takes from Arenas’ prolific Twitter account, as Agent Zero has apparently shut it down. Probably not a bad move. On we go.
