Fres-Know: The Beehive is against blog-enhancing drugs.
- Grizzlies catcher Eliezer Alfonzo is the first player suspended by Major League Baseball this season after a positive performance-enhancing substance test. Oops. Guess that explains this. He's suspended 50 games, starting Thursday. So two questions: 1. He gets to hang around for Hannah Montana night? Roger Clemens would be so jealous. 2. Does this mean there's room on the roster for Zito? [The Bee]
- In other sporty Fresno news: Sports Buzz breaks down the spat between LeBron James and DeShawn Stevenson and how rapper Jay-Z got involved by dissing Deshawn in a freestyle. I'd say that's a good look for local boy DeShawn. It ended up working out for Nas. Maybe Deshawn will sign with the Nets in a couple years. [Sports Buzz]
- In this big week of video game releases -- Grand Theft Auto IV vs. Mario Kart Wii -- Fresno bloggers Ed and Brodie Mash (not pictured) are taking sides.
- What's on your to-do list for Fresno's next mayor? The Bee's News Blog wants to know. [Political Notebook]
- I don't care that the Visalia Times Delta fancied up its blogs. Still not as awesome as The Beehive. [Times Delta]
- The iamfresnostate video contest is back for '08. Got a favorite yet? Check out the 10 finalists on YouTube before the award ceremony on May 7. [iamfresnostate]

jay z should stick to what he does best, gettin used by nas. hell, his best album was dj dangermouse's remix. bron bron should thank his lucky stars (who says that?) that he is beloved by the nba because he's getting all the calls dwayne wade got a few years back. i'm just thankful the deshawn has put his legal woes behind him and has shaped up into a good pro.
can you play gta4 online with people all over the world? can you even play it with a friend in the same room? score another round for mario kart wii.
that's right, i'm talking hip hop, basketball and video game smack. what you got brodie/roque/DUmb?

Hmmm...well, I haven't spent too much time actually playing the game and I never really picked sides because I don't own a Wii and haven't played Mario Kart but what the hell, people want blood, let pretend!
1. I'll go first with the superficial point: graphics. C'mon, Mario Kart's engine looks like it could of been developed on a Tandy computer from Radio Shack. Sure, there more advanced than the Gamecube version (remember, the Wii is, afterall, merely 2 Gamecubes duct-taped together) but for a game that was released 5 years ago and on an inferior (supposedly) console, the jump should have been much bigger. But nary a person says a thing cause now I can look like a frakken idiot as I get "immersed" in the experience with my motion sensing controller and my plastic steering wheel that amounts to nothing more than a glorified ash tray.
Your serve, sir. Oh yeah: GTA4 does have one of the most vast multiplayer features that rivals even those of the great Halo series. And you can even talk to others as you play against them. Wii can't handle that, apparently. Cool!
