No Game Thread Tuesday

by Rev Halofan on Mar 10, 2008 8:27 PM PDT in News

Tuesday will be the unveiling of Halos Heaven 2.0 and we will be offline in the morning while the tech department does the heavy lifting, coding, server migration, I don't know, windexing of the computer valves and internet tubes perhaps...

Anyway, stop by tomorrow afternoon to create your new user account.

If you are a lurker, understand that creating an account and having a log-in name allows you to see which comments in threads are new and which ones you have already viewed.

Of course, having your own Halos Heaven ID lets you join in the discussions here and make pregame picks and guesses. An ID occasionally comes in handy as a soapboax when you need to be heard - posts on Halos Heaven are read by thousands of Angel fans worldwide, so be careful, with great power comes great responsibility...

The new site should be up around game time.

Will we still have access

to Caseys Kiss of Death's body of work from HalosHeaven DOS 1.1?

by Bilko 420 on Mar 10, 2008 8:46 PM PDT 0 recs

I won't lose my douche account will I?

But, but, but... where will I log this year's rat points??

Honestly though, looking forward to the upgrade. Hope it's not like upgrades at my work which cause more trouble than they're worth...

Wake me up on opening day.

Rev, Re: HH 1.0

It used to be that when I would view different threads with their comments, I would backspace, and the number of not previously viewed comments would update automatically.

For the last several months, when I backspace after reading comments, I have to refresh the page for the number of previously viewed comments to update.

At first (several months ago) I thought it was my aging computer. But now with a completely modern, state-of-the-art computer, the same manual refresh is still necessary.

Is the problem my computer setup, am I doing something wrong, has the system changed, or am I just stupid?

C'mon, chumbawamba

Just hit refresh and make Rev.'s life easier. Do you seriously believe he's capable of answering technical questions?

Besides, he's got his hands full polishing tubes right now...

How does yours work?

by wumbug on Mar 10, 2008 9:55 PM PDT up 0 recs

Depending on the browser

just reload the page. Or go back to the main page, then revisit the thread again?

Sounds like maybe a Microsoft issue...

Funny Shtuff.

If by "reload the page" you mean "refresh"...yes that works.

If I "go back to the main page" (either before of after refreshing) the number of previously unread messages remains the same as it was before I went to the comment thread anyway. Therefore, when I "revisit the thread again", it still indicates the same unread comments....even though I have now already read them.

Refreshing the main page works...period!

I would not even ask about this, as I have for months become very proficient in refreshing to update the correct number of unread comments.....except for the fact that I know that it used to operate differently 6, 8, 10, months ago. At that time, I would simply go BACK to the previous page...and the numbered, previously unread comments would automatically update (without clicking refresh). Someone obviously changed something.

I HAVE AN IDEA FOR TOMORROW.......

Lets all hit up Halos Heaven's Little Brother.

And do live game updates there.

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by acuda27 on Mar 10, 2008 10:43 PM PDT 0 recs

Score updates

should be up when the new site comes up too.

Been busy playing Brawl nonstop...
I'll also include a running total since a few people seemed to be interested.

Chart it up! Game on!

by scottnak on Mar 10, 2008 11:47 PM PDT 0 recs

How is it.....Im planning on picking it up this

weekend. They are having a buy Brawl get mario and sonic at the Olympics HALF OFF. Have you played Mario and Sonic at the Olympics? If you have what do you rate both?

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by acuda27 on Mar 11, 2008 2:41 AM PDT up 0 recs

Heh

Brawl? It's a must buy man. There should be no doubt about getting it. Since you can also play online, don't need to worry about having a group of people to constantly play with (Thoguh on top of it, the 1P mode is impressive, considering this is foremost a multiplayer game) get it get it get it!

I do have Mario and Sonic at the olympics. I would not suggest getting it though, unless you have a tendency to have your friends / family playing to gether alot. Because this game gets pretty stale in a fairly quick amount of time when it's only you. It is entertaining though. The games are damn fun (well, a few are a bit odd, but all in all, it did it's job) For half off, perhaps it's a pretty good deal... But in general i'd rate it as a 'rent and see'.

Chart it up! Game on!

Do you use your Wii Controllers or The Game Cube ones?

People are saying that its hard to play with the Wii remotes.

I'm digging the new blog

It looks classy. And as far as Wii games go, you have to try LEGO Starwars, it's way more fun then it should be.

by Jay Cal on Mar 11, 2008 12:37 PM PDT 0 recs

I really like it

Looks very clean and sophisticated. But stuff like auto-refresh and adding images easier are gonna make this season sweet.

by Erik121 on Mar 11, 2008 1:10 PM PDT 0 recs

less stealth, though...

in the office environment.

by Downing Rules on Mar 11, 2008 1:18 PM PDT up 0 recs

interesting

what makes it less stealthy? the design?

I guess we need a boss key eh?

I'm one of the guys that built the new SB Nation

by clockwerks on Mar 11, 2008 1:35 PM PDT up 0 recs

pretty colors and a lot of graphics

Don't get me wrong I like the new look, just the text appearance of the old one made it a bit easier to get away with.

by Downing Rules on Mar 11, 2008 2:14 PM PDT up 0 recs

Aybar batting 3rd

And smacks an RBI triple. 2-0 in the first after Kendry's RBI single. This coming after Rory said "Peavy looks like he's in mid season form"....

We'll be fine.

by ReggieBullits on Mar 11, 2008 1:13 PM PDT 0 recs

3-0

RBI double off the wall from Mathis! Goes to 3rd on the throw home.

We'll be fine.

by ReggieBullits on Mar 11, 2008 1:15 PM PDT 0 recs

SB for Nate Haynes!

by Downing Rules on Mar 11, 2008 1:16 PM PDT 0 recs

Jered Weaver will bat!

Classic! Wish we had video.

by Downing Rules on Mar 11, 2008 1:16 PM PDT 0 recs

4-0

Nate Haynes opposite field single. Mathis scores. Next pitch Haynes steals second.

Loving the B Team knockin Peavy around.

We'll be fine.

Willits and Haynes Showcase Showdown...

COME ON DOWN, Padres! Let's see if the PRICE IS RIGHT!

Weaver batting

He rolls out to 2nd. He fouled 3 off!

Nice

Reggie with an SB

Weaver

That whole sequence sounded like something else. At least he made some solid contact.

You guys in California really do live in heaven, the Angels are in town for more than just six games and there is Jack in the Box within 200 miles.

by Erik121 on Mar 11, 2008 1:31 PM PDT 0 recs

Hmmmm

it's going to take a bit for me to warm up to this new setup. I liked the old one better...but it's early

Go Angels!

by Four Ts on Mar 11, 2008 1:38 PM PDT 0 recs

Like everything else

change takes some getting used to. It should be OK, though. For example, I tried adding the picture to my profile which you see there, but for some reason, it cut off both the top & bottom of the image.

Crab?

Did I hear correctly? Is the current batter's name really "Crab?"

by jjackflash on Mar 11, 2008 1:51 PM PDT 0 recs

Crabbe

Their is no data about him on mlb.com I don't think he is real.

haha, i think so..

that would be the worst name ever to grow up with, especially when they hit high school.. lmao..

Here's to another season of baseball! Angels in '08!

by b0rd3rline on Mar 11, 2008 1:53 PM PDT 0 recs

the latest casualty..

..Arredondo was reassigned to minor league camp today..

now we're down to 48 left in big league camp, and i'm starting to smell opening day.. woot!

Here's to another season of baseball! Angels in '08!

by b0rd3rline on Mar 11, 2008 1:55 PM PDT 0 recs

Really?

Hmm. I thought Arredondo would have lasted longer in camp given his performance this spring, since there's an opening in the 'pen. Then again, given his previous disciplinary problems and the fact that he hasn't really pitched above AA for any appreciable time, they probably want him to prove his mettle at SLC.

Looks like Darren O'Day will get the final spot in the bullpen, unless Jason Bulger really impresses them over the next week or so. He's got to throw strikes, as Terry Smith was just saying.

by jjackflash on Mar 11, 2008 2:25 PM PDT up 0 recs

Callix Crabbe

I take it back that is a sweet name. Alliteration and double letters...sign me up.

nothing to say--just wanted to see what my post looks like

You must go back and start over. Ha, ha.

unless i will be banned, I will refrain from Avataring.

Ok, I rescind. I found a nice one.

I like the "C" function on the site now...

that hunts out new comments...I opened this "fanpost" then clicked "c" and it ran me right down to this comment of yours. Fantastic.

by Downing Rules on Mar 11, 2008 3:07 PM PDT up 0 recs

Ditto

That and the auto-refresh totally make the new upgrade worth it.

by foxpaw on Mar 11, 2008 3:10 PM PDT up 0 recs

You should try the Z function

It's NEW!

it's me, JP

Z Function

What is it and how do you use it?

On the road to 100.

Nevermind

I figured it out and it is sweet.

i have a feeling..

that brandon wood is gonna be on his way to minor league camp pretty soon. he is not doing good at all this spring.. hopefully he can put something together in AAA and do something for us this summer..

Here's to another season of baseball! Angels in '08!

by b0rd3rline on Mar 11, 2008 2:30 PM PDT 0 recs

I don't think

he will even come up to the big club this summer. I won't count on seeing him till the 40 man call-ups, unless he really turns things around in Salt Lake cuz he is really struggling.
