No doubt your mother and all the other authority figures told you that you’d never get anywhere in life playing video games all day.  Now, 2K Sports is offering you a chance to show them all how wrong they were.  All you have to do is pitch a perfect game in MLB 2K10 for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and you can be $1 million dollars richer for your efforts.  Of course, there is a catch; there’s always a catch.

The biggest hurdle is you have to be the first to pitch that perfect game.  The contest begins on March 2 and ends on May 2, 2010, so you have 60 days in which to accomplish this feat.  You have to play the computer on MLB Today mode, you can’t cheat, and you have to record the whole game from beginning to end on DVD and mail it off to 2K Sports, where it’ll be inspected by the Guinness of video game records, Twin Galaxies.  See the official rules for more details.

If you jump through all those hoops, you’ve definitely earned your million bucks.  Good luck, gamers!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
