January 2, 2014: Shhhhhh!
I'm guessing Spooky's coughing has relinquished enough that he's able to sleep in this morning...

The second day of the playoffs. A late homer by Ozuna carries Cibao. Escogido takes care of things early.
Pixel Perfect Memories: Skyrim
I'm not going to be reviewing an old game today. Heck, this isn't the fourth Tuesday either, so I'm not in a rule-following mood. But if you're looking for talk about old games, Death By Troggles has relaunched a new site design and is starting the year looking at old RPGs. Today's game is Final Fantasy II.
Today I want to discuss Skyrim, since my dad forgot I have a baby and decided to get it for me for Christmas. It's the "Legendary Edition" that apparently has all of the add-ons. I know very little about the game, other than it is huge and awesome. I have never played an Elder Scrolls game.
So here are my questions for those who have played it:
1. Does it matter that I've never played an Elder Scrolls game?
2. Has anyone else played this game with a baby in the house?
3. What kind of time commitment is necessary to enjoy it, both in total number of hours, and time per session. I have thirty minutes here and there to play video games, and maybe a couple of times per month I have two to three hours. Would that be enough time to enjoy the game?
For those who haven't played Skyrim, what else are you playing?

Somewhere between Nirvana and METZ. I listened to quite a few noise/rock/punk? albums this year, but I think this band from Baltimore was my favorite of the bunch.

New Cookies for a New Year
I wanted to start the new year off right, so I baked you all a batch of cookies! These take a bit more effort than the most basic of cookies, but the resting time in the fridge means you can make the timing work for whatever your schedule is and the results are definitely worth it.

Birdies @ Wolfies
I realize that the referees are sometimes afraid to make a game-deciding bad call, but I've always said, a bad no-call can just as easily decide the game. We saw that on Monday when Shawn Marion capped off a career night by using a wily veteran move and grabbing Kevin Love's arm while he's trying to shoot.
At least the league admitted it was a mistake, but if that play happens in the middle of the 2nd quarter, it's a foul 95% of the time. Refs, like players, shouldn't worry about being clutch. They should officiate the end of the game like they would any other part of the game.
Anywho, the Wolves play the Pelicans tonight and will win by at least 50.
