streaming for free? thats cool. hows the quality? the one thing i like about my job (working for an lcd tv maker) is i get to watch tv all day long. we have directv and OTA HD, so i should be able to catch all the games. i saw directv doing a commercial where you can watch all 4 on one screen, but i think that might cost money.

I envy you. Deeply lol. I don't know how the quality is going to be but I'll definitely be finding out on Thursday lol.

So now that the brackets are all set anyone care to give their Final Four predictions?

Atlanta - Texas (I say they get their revenge on Duke)

Oakland - Gonzaga (the Zags finally don't underachieve as a power)

D.C. - UConn (Mich. St-UNC possible matchup in round 2 as a rematch of last year's national semifinal could be awesome, go Heels!)

Minneapolis - Villanova (assuming Ray is really fine. If I hear something new this could change. they eek out a win over Ohio St. in the regional final)

And my pick to win it all? 'Nova (again assuming Ray is healthy)

The Buckeyes are gonna win the Big Ten tourney to. Then Win the Big One.

Guess they are done, huh? hehe

Gators win their second SEC title, and back to back. I see them going VERY FAR.

Tennessee being a #2 seed ahead of Florida though has to be the biggest joke ever.

man, no wolverines....such a shame. this group of seniors has been through so much....and they did have a good year overall. they really should have been there. who's gonna do a fantasy pickem league? yahoo has such a thing, right?

Glad to see Arkansas back in the tournament after a five year absence. Unfortunately we will have a tough game against Bucknell. If the Hogs get past them, they play Memphis. That match up does conjure up memories of the mid nineties when both programs were great programs.

boy do those espn experts really have it tough. digger phelps was giving his bracket picks. sure it's easy when all you do is pick the favorite for every match except 2. one of which was a 9 over an 8, and the other was a 10 over a 7. grow a pair, man. everbody knows there is 7-10 numerical upsets every year, including a 12 over a 5.

The hardest part is picking the right upsets. One wrong pick could mess up the entire bracket.

exactly. there will be 4-8 upsets first round. you can pick the higher seed all the way through, and you'll do decent, but you won't finish higher than middle of the pack. you'll have 4-8 wrong pics. if you want to win, you have to call the upsets. but if you call the wrong upsets, then you'll have 8-16 wrong pics. i always go for it though....but i usually end up sucking.

monmout over nova anyone? ;)

From what I hear a lot of people saying, a number 1 could fall, and the obvious weak #1 is Memphis. Although I doubt it will happen, and I didn't have the guts to pick it, but Oral Roberts could pull the shocker. I wanna see a #1 fall in the first round. I still remember back about 4 or 5 years or so ago, when Holy Cross almost took down #1 Kansas.

If Memphis falls, I'll be in trouble. I have Kansas and Memphis playing in the sweet sixteen, with memphis currently winning, but i'm just not sure yet.

Just in case anyone's wondering the CBS Sportsline March Madness on Demand thing is pretty cool. Once you get into the "arena" you choose whatever game you want, except for whatever's being shown on your local CBS affiliate which is blacked out. For me that means the Seton Hall - Wichita St. game is blacked out but I got it going on the TV. I'm watching the OU - UW-Milwaukee game online. It's basically the TV broadcast put online, commercials included lol.

UW-Mil is running on OU early on. OU can't keep up. Good. I didn't put any brackets in any contests because I just wanted to enjoy the tourney this year and not have to worry about my picks but in my personal bracket this was one of my early upsets.

Hmmm, might be running a bit delayed. I glanced at the TV and the score update for the game was 10-8 UW-Mil before OU scored their 8th point online lol. Still cool though.

O man we might be in store for the first BIG upset. Pacific is up 6 on BC in OT. Man Pacific owns the Big East in this tourney if they pull this one off too. Two years ago it was Providence and Pitt last year. lol

My bracket is dead if BC loses

Again that's why I didn't put any in this year. Just want to enjoy the games and not stress or care. lol Besides don't feel too bad. A lot of "experts" would have their brackets screwed up with a BC loss too.

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
