Not because he doesn't want to talk. Magedson loves talking, especially when the subject is his beloved Web site. It's just that he's so incredibly particular. Arranging one simple meeting is an exercise that captures, perfectly, why Magedson is so good at getting results and why he's infuriated the CEOs of several midsize companies to the point that they accuse him, flatly, of extortion. He overthinks every detail. And it would never occur to him to stop pushing before he gets what he wants, even if he's not sure what that is. First there's where to meet. It has to be a public place. A dog park? A restaurant? Even after Magedson decides on lunch at Chompie's, he calls back with instructions about which bank of booths to pick. He's planning to park in the handicapped spot, he says, and from the right booth, he'll be able to keep an eye on his dog.
Warriors Orochi gets PC, PSP date News by Rob Purchese
Koei plans to release Warriors Orochi for PC and PSP on 28th March. Both will be more or less identical to the 360 and PS2 versions released late last year, with the addition of ad-hoc multiplayer on PSP. The uncut action happens to be one of the big handheld selling points. Koei has previously snipped content into bite-sized chunks for an audience on the move, but you were keen for a full, unaltered Dynasty Warriors-like experience and so it reverted. Porting it to PC marks a fresh direction for the publisher too, and this is expected to be the first of many. "For the first time on PSP the huge battlefields from the console versions of Warriors Orochi have been recreated and crammed into a portable gaming experience along with the entire cast of characters," said Will Curley, sales manager for Koei Europe.
Ken Schram: Another way to enshrine Dave Niehaus
He's been selected as the 2008 recipient of the Ford C. Frick award for excellence in baseball broadcasting.He'll be inducted at Cooperstown on the 27th of July.The way I figure it, that gives the Mariners 5 full months to order up the necessary number of ceramic likenesses and have them available for, say, the weekend home series against Baltimore.That'd be the first weekend in August.To be honest, I don't think this is an idea that has to be sold, just suggested.To that end, I think if we all emailed the Mariners and asked them to do this I believe they'd understand how much it would be appreciated by the fans. (You can e-mail the Mariners here)For 31 seasons, Dave Niehaus has been through the thick and thin of Northwest baseball and he's brought us along with him.Way to go Dave, way to go.Have something to say to Ken? E-mail him at kenschram@komo4news.com.And be sure to join Ken, along with John Carlson, on "The Commentators", which airs every weekday from 3-6 p.m.
