Lipton is right, if you close you're eyes these impersonations are spot-on. Enjoy!

A shrink would have a field day with that guy. Jeez.
But Mark,
That's a full rainbow all the way!
Double rainbow! Oh my God, it's double rainbow all the way!
Woah! It's so intense. Woah!
WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD...

I mentioned this in The Shoutbox, but I thought I should share it here too:
The guy really likes rainbows.

Thanks for covering for Y4L today, Dylan. The weekend wouldn't be the same without the random thoughts on a Sunday updates from someone!
You're welcome man, I agree that Sunday would never be the same without it.
I can't believe I haven't heard about Toronto being torn to shreds - the fact that they just put up a fence and ignored everyone outside of it is just crazy - how naive can they possible be? Did they honestly think that everyone would be utterly well-behaved when the whole city knows that almost all of the police are inside the fence?
I remember you mentioned that the G8 and G20 were happening in Toronto and we had some discussion about it in the shoutbox - I had no idea it was so soon, though.
Toronto's probably hiding it from international media due to embarrassment.
I'm pretty sure a four-year-old would realize putting all your eggs in one basket-or in this case all our police officers in one fence-would be pretty dumb and naive.
Sad thing is they're still making dumb mistakes. This morning they caught a bunch of people using the sewers to get around and avoid arrests. My dad and my first thought's were "How were people allowed to get in the sewer system?!" Only after did they decide to weld manholes shut.
It's like the anarchists are one-step ahead of the police force.
And to strand a bunch of folks downtown who used the TTC to get there, and then have no way of getting home is just diabolical.
Here's some photos:

Updated to 6-27
Since Y4L is at his (pack-rat) in law's place, I'll keep it updated even though it's not the morning...
...On Wednesday our apartment was all shook up. Literally. A 5.0 maginitude earthquake shook a town on the Ontario-Quebec border and was felt as far as Pennsylvania. When it got to Toronto, it managed to shake me around on the fifteenth-floor.
...The person who suggested to stand under a door-frame during an earthquake was wrong. While walking over to the nearest door-frame, I managed to fall. Twice. It would have been impossible to stand.
...Kudos to all Californians. You've got real guts living in a earthquake hotzone.
...The G8/G20 Summits took place in Huntsville and Toronto, respectively. There was little civil disobedience until yesterday, when anarchists took over the city. While every police office in the city was making sure everyone was OK in a $5.5 million dollar fence, the rest of the city was torn to shreds.
...They managed to take control of two streetcars, force everyone off, and then graffiti it. How nice.
...Banks and stores in the downtown core were broken into while the police were scrambling to get where the action was, (not the fenced zone).
...If Toronto's Mayor David Miller hadn't already announced he wasn't going to run in the upcoming October Mayoral Election, he should resign for the worst G20 plan in history. Telling people they'll be lots to do in downtown Toronto and be sure to take the TTC is great. But when you say so, be sure to make sure they'll be lots to do, and try not to stand people downtown, by disabling the TTC.
...I wonder why these summits can't be held over the internet , where no physical damage could be done. If they're worried about internet security, how about a cruise ship?
...On my way to the grocery store yesterday, I saw Marine Force Once which was delivering Barack Obama to the summit. Kind of neat.
...Because of the summits, the Jays had to move their home to Philadelphia. Weird seeing us in our home uniforms on the road. Weirder to see us facing Roy Halladay. I miss him.
...I hate Interleague Play, it seems it's always then when the Jays great start turns into a lousy season.
...I hope Y4L finds his way out of his packrat in-law's place...

I need help with the hi-resolution portraits for MVP. Is there any way someone can send me a hi-res ALFA image because the one I have is a low resolution which I found here a long time ago? I don't how to make it.
If you still need it, here's a link to a portrait tutorial done by krawhitham.

Imagine a job where you never are allowed to be wrong. One mistake and everyone who deals with you hates you; a job where you're constantly working on egg shells. Scary thought, eh? Well every day baseball umpires have to deal with that sort of crap.
There have been books by players and managers, and some even by players and managers but a perspective often overlooked is that of an umpire.
A while ago I read Planet of the Umps by Ken Kaiser, a former MLB umpire. The book is a great read as it delves into why umpires become umpires, the life of an umpire, his view of certain players, his hatred of certain managers, and much more.
A couple of concepts really stayed with me. One is that they have to be trained not to blink when something is coming straight at them at 100 mph.
The book is well written, has a lot of humour, and does a great job of showing what it's like to be an umpire.
Anyway, if you're looking to read a book from the unique perspective of an umpire, check it out.
You can purchase it from Amazon here.

Venunite and venuday are the Create-a-Stadium Stadium. Hope that helps.

How do i modify the menu music on the game to put in songs of my own?
This link should help you. And by the way, welcome to the site.

So strange.
I laughed so hard no sound was coming out of my mouth, and I was literally rolling on the floor laughing.

Here's the video of Will Ferrel pitching in the Round Rock game someone mentioned in the shoutbox:

Canadian Justin Bieber plays a fun game of True or False on a talk show in New Zealand.
The question: Is "Bieber" German for basketball?
His answer:
http://www.youtube.c...h?v=DkKqihEUmH4
"We don't use that word in America."
One word for how I felt after watching this video: Disturbed.
Before I watched, just based on the title, I thought it was going to be an obvious edit to a Justin Bieber lookalike or something. Not the case.

Sorry watching the game! ha

I know its early and the game has just come out so, to make it clear, I'm not asking for this to be made right away. I thought it would be a good mod if someone made a player rating calculator for pitchers and hitters. much like the pitcher rating calculator for MVP Baseball 2005. I know these are 2 different games but is anyone into this?
I'm the modder who created the calculators (batting/fielding/pitching) for MVP. I haven't purchased any of 2K's games, and have no plans to do so. This means that I won't be making calculators for the game.
As well, the MVP calculators each took me well over a year to make, so it's no small task.
Good luck with your request.

The easiest way known to man:
Otherwise, use the tweaks that Stepcropper shared earlier in this thread.
Totally missed this, thanks for this shout-out, emath!

can anyone help me with range of height in mvpedit? in mvpedit is range from 66 to 84, thanks?
Height in inches.
So if someone is 6'3" tall, (6 feet, 3 inches), that would be 75.
12 inches in a foot, 12×6+3=72+3=75

The rosters should be done based on who is going to play in that position for most, if not all, of the season. I know most teams do not have an all-freshman lineup, nor do they have an all-senior lineup. I think a mixture of the two would be best. So we should TRY to have approx. 6 of each class with the exception of the freshman, which will have 7 - so if we do this as a yearly thing (I know, thinking long term goals haha) we could just shift everyone up one year, drop the worse freshman, and make 7 more guys per team instead of trying to redo the WHOLE ROSTER each year. And for ratings, DylanBradbury's ratings has been great for me, so they will work for this - he put blood sweat and tears into trying to perfect these ratings, and it shows by his authenticity. And sorry to the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, but since the MEAC league is not AS BIG as the other 12, I did decide to leave it off, but if I had my way, I would put a few other leagues in there besides them spesky SEC and PAC teams haha
Thank-you very much for the compliment, SeveredSoulX. Much appreciated.

Works like a dream. Not a big fan of Excel 2007, but oh well. I'll still use open office calc for everything else.
Glad it works!
I'm also not a big fan of Excel 2007. The whole "ribbon" thing and the whole "intuitive design" really annoys me. I still use Office 2003, and love it.
-
I solved my issues by borrowing a copy of office 2007 from a friend (not entirely legal, I guess), and installing it. I didn't need the entire suite, so I just installed Excel, and once it is finished, I should be good to go
Well that should work for you then. Good luck!

Dylan, once the schedule is generated, is there anyway to go into the .dat file and then shorten the schedule or manipulate it somehow without the game crashing?
I don't think so. Sorry man.

That's the one I have used before. The other one (2.0) I had D/L but never unzipped it, or tried it. Tried them both earlier today though, and both failed.
Tried the viewer, but it will not let me do anything but look at it.
I used your home run calculator you made that one time, to calculate home run percentages, and it used to work too. Don't have it anymore, so I can't try it, but it was done as an excel spreadsheet too.
Just bugs me when I KNOW it worked before. How the heck else did I use it, if I have never had Microsoft Office installed?
Oh well, it isn't your problem. I know they work great, I was just either really lucky before, or unlucky now.
The homerun calculator was just a simple spreadsheet, and didn't contain any macros. That's why it worked. I really have no idea why it worked before for you.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
Just so everyone knows as well: my calculators' spreadsheets aren't compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 either. You can however use the Windows XP Virtual Machine to run them.
-
The Viewer doesn't work, it simply views your set-up...there's nothing you can activate in the viewer as I feared.
Oh well. It was just an idea.
-
I know it worked before, because I made some schedules before. I couldn't remember right at first, but found the 3 files from when I first tried it.
This really bugs me.
Oh well.
Then unfortunately man, I really don't know what to tell you. You could try downloading the April 14th version (version 1.0) , but I doubt it would work as it's the same macro, and has less features.
Everyone who has used OpenOffice with my calculators' spreadsheets haven't had any success.
Another alternative you could try is downloading the Microsoft Excel Viewer. I do not know if it supports macros, however.
-
I have macros enabled on Open Office and I get the similar error message for all your calculator spreadsheets.
Good point Andy. I should note emath, everyone else who uses Open Office the spreadsheet components of my programs have never worked.
Sorry to disappoint.

Right back at you Y4L! Celebrating a birthday is nice, but it's 10x better to celebrate with the great people on this board and share it with a friend like you.
Thanks again everyone for the wishes!
