Ah yes looking forward to Titan Quest here. Pretty bummed about the lack of a Battle.net style system but I can understand why it's not there. I was pretty hung up on Diablo for a while. For your Monday:

- Emotion reading computers
- Extreme races
- New DVD formats will fail
- PC hardware getting more reliable

Lastly, in case you thought that Duke rape case was flaky.. here's a bit more.

    I had a girlfriend that saw that on a mug at the mall, didn't know what it meant, and asked her mom. In front of me.

      Did no one else see that play? I have never seen that call before, amazing balls to call that steal attempt, thank god he caught strike three though.

        Yeah, amazing call. I can't recall the last time I even saw it attempted. But if it works, you go down in history as having pulled off one of the greatest plays ever.
        
        I did have the fortune to see an unassisted triple play once. Was watching a Braves game with the wife a couple of years ago when Furcal pulled it off. We just looked at each other like "did we just see what we thought we just saw?"

        Yeah and the situation, bases loaded, 2 outs, 1-2 count, tie game...
        
        Massive cojones to try and steal home...
        
        He would have been safe if he dropped strike 3 or the batter didn't swing I think. Not 100% sure if it's a tag before run scores rule or a hit-like force out at first only if strike 3 was dropped.

        It's a tag situation when the catcher drops strike 3. Well, if he'd picked it up and thrown to first before the runner tagged the plate, the inning would have ended, but it's kinda hard to do that when the guy is 3 feet from scoring. :P

        nah, the play at first base is a force out so it doesn't matter if the guy scores before he is out at first.
