This is why I love NISA: They bring over goods from Japan. Sadly, I won't be able to aquire this fleece Prinny cap, since I'll be spending all my money on a deep freezer and a shipment of books. Oh well. I love video game companies that bring over the other goodies of the video games that get sold in Japan.

I remember Azure Dreams. That was actually a fun action adventure game. Wish the sequel actually built off the original. Oh, and I hafta say that although I know Ys is pretty huge (now that is), I bought Ark of Nepthism without knowing much about the series. Its actually a pretty fun and slightly difficult game. Music's pretty good, but the VAs are simply awesome. ...wish Adel wasn't a mute though.

I'm in the rotissery, but I've also started up a H2H league for anyone who wants to play. League ID: 10442 Pass: tsm

Good point Leena. I forgotten about his age catching up to him finally. I guess if I do use Atlanta, I'll do that. I still don't know what team I want to use. If I wanna go fix up the Jets, try to make the Texans a respectable team (say wha...?), boot out the Lions ownership group and save that franchise, or play as Atlanta. I'm also thinking of whatever team I play as I might relocate to another city. Just cause I could and cause I'd like a team in Canada. ...stupid game not allowing for expansion teams.

Back when I had a GBA, Golden Sun and Rivieria. Golden Sun I wasn't expecting to be worth as much as it was (dammit, the story needs to be finished!!!) and Rivieria was a wonderful little pocket of gold that I wasn't expecting to be so considering its a dating sim/RPG hybrid.

Pink Taco Stadium. I love it for the corniness. They must seal that deal right away.

...they, well... They... T_T Ok, I know they suck without Vick, but dammit. He can't throw worth a damn!

I like to run a balanced offense, but when I'm throwing 500 yards a game, I think any receiver would love to play for me. My QB crossed the 2000 mark in 4 games played. Multiple D is? I'm running 3-4 and I don't ever remember seeing a play scheme like that. I personally just run zone defense with a small dose of blitzing. Works just as good ... most days. As for secondary, I think I'll just grab some great WRs and transform them over to secondary type players. Its not like I've got anything to lose doing that, besides their ranking and at least they'll be better than what I've got. And that 5* receiver is looking like he'll be choosing my college, which is awesome, cause he's #1 in the Nation and I took him on a whim because I figured if I could draft at least him, it would open up more 5* during the off-season. Also, is it just me or if you've got a gamebreaker at DE and you nail the QB just right, he's gone for the game? I did that and it was smooth sailing for my team against #3 Ohio State (thought they were #1 but they aren't). I tweaked it so the backup woudl have a chance (not that he needed it) but when the guy gets 10-12 seconds to throw, he should be able to make a pass. My game against #1 Oklahoma was harder. I barely won that 65-55, and that's only cause of a phantom pass interference call that set up the winning TD. At least my schedule from here till my rematch against the Longhorns is pretty easy sailing. But I'm only #18 in the league after beating the #1, and I was #20 before. I'm pissed at the ranking, but frankly, considering my team, I'm lucky they are moving me closer to #1 at all.

So having bad secondary makes no one want to go near me. Hm... That makes sense then. Would also explain why this 5* receiver is loving my throwing for nearly 1000 yards in two games. But also hurts trying to get recruits. Dammit, why couldn't I negotiate for a shorter contract than 6 years? Dammit all. What do you mean multiple D? I'm not sure I understand this terminology. And how good is Utah's offense playbook and can you explain? Don't remember being able to do anything concerning that for Campus Legend, no.

I think he's a hell of a player, don't get me wrong. But I don't like Vick personally. I think he's the whole reason why my Falcons (because I'm Canadian, I "adopted" a team to root for) aren't as good. I honestly believe he's a RB or WR who just happens to play QB and do it pretty badly. Yes, we win games with him as QB, yet at the same time we don't win Championships. But then again, I might play a team that desperately needs to be saved, like the Lions or the worst team in the NFL (which ever one that is), simply because then I can set my own stamp on the organization. Likely might go this route as well. The Hall of Fame mode sounds better than last year. I'll hafta give it a go.

Um... I was in the BCS and I WAS on National TV when I played Ohio State and beat them on the last possession and also when I lost to Texas on the last possession. And also was on regional TV for nearly all my games as soon as I got into the top 25, with a few satelite spots. And my prestige is now ** out of ****** possible, so yeah if its banking on that it sucks. And I'm currently 2-0 record after defeating the #1 Seminoles (who had a depleated o-line). Currently heading into my return match against the now #1 Ohio State with the hopes I can keep up my offensive ways (170pts in 2 games). But considering I took Ohio State to a last play possession win, and my while my offense is pretty much the same, my defense is in shambles (I'm ranked 97 in passiing defense), I'm not liking my chances against them. Unless I get a gift like the Seminoles depleated o-line, I'm gonna be screwed here. I've also got this 5* wide receiver who's highly wanting to join my team because he loves my style of play. ...cause I'm throwing 500 yards per game might be the reason.

I bought it and can't wait till I get home to play it. I'm so trading Vick immediately in my dynasty.

I think I'll be needing to use the cover ball button now. I never did before, but my HB this season has fumbled 5 fucking times (6 if I didn't reverse one) in 2 games. I would put someone else in, but he's behind the shittiest run blocking line ever and the fact that I don't trust them kinda doesn't work. Also my first game of the new season was just what I expected of it. I managed to beat Arizona State: 84-70. There was no defence in this game, only offense. And any defence immediately created offensive points. I got lucky that I won this one, because my defence actually played like a defense for 5 straight plays as I was gonna be down 38-30 at the half, but then I got 3 INTs that I scored TDs off of, a punt return for a TD, and an INT for a TD to go up 70-38. ...but as you can see, my defence then played like the shit they are and I just about lost.

*shrugs* Personally, they are quite different in terms of the business side things. Besides, they aren't really the same in gameplay either because the offenses are majorily different with the offensive side of things. In Madden most of the offenses are run the exact same way, whereas you've got many different styles in the college game.

I read threw enough pages to find out that it is at this moment confirmed as only just a 360 glitch, but we'll see if it applies to all of them.

Ok, three things: 1) He retired already, so this means nothing. Its just nothing more than to pander to a team's fanbase. 2) He's not gonna be playing any games so this means what exactly? And before you say feel good story, please explain why it is a feel good story. Its just a lateral retiring. "Oh, instead of retiring with the Denver Broncos, we'll just try to play it like it never happened and I retired with the 49ers". 3) If the organization needs to give anything back to him, do it in a way that isn't totally hallow. Which would be retiring his number and having a day for him or something. This whole thing is hallow because what meaning does it have? He's already retired. And I'm totally against stuff of un-retirings in general. You retire, you are done. That's it.

Usually mine don't either. But hey. You know what your players can do, so you can turn around and draft them to your pro team. Me personally, I'm going to try to draft Paul Smith, my junior halfback that left. He put up some respectable numbers and frankly I think he'll make a great addition to any team I play. Speaking of which, I'm trying to think of which team to play. I'm half tempted to take the worst team and play as them, but then again I'm also tempted to take my Falcons (my fav team) and trade away Michael Vick in year 2 and draft my current starter in my NCAA game (cause he's a senior, is like Vick, but throws better).

I was expecting at least nabbing more *** than just 2 of 12. I had gotten 3 **** and the rest either 2s or 1s. While Montana is a challenge and I love it, I'm just unimpressed that I can't at least score a ***** that is from one of my pipeline states.

Depending on the weather, it'll increase the likelihood of fumbles or not. So if its raining or if its cold, or worse, both, expect fumbles.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Nearly all the ***** and **** ignored me in terms of interest. Especially the defensive guys even though I sold them on the fact they'd be starting (which was true). They didn't bite. Except the few that were from my pipeline states (and Canada). I may be a 1-AA that got to play in the bigs, but dammit. I made a shitty team go 12-1 and I even beat up on some ranked teams to do it. Now I'm gonna be lucky if I survive. Well defensively. The offense is pretty much the same as last season so I'm gonna be good, but with a significantly weakened defence, I don't know how I can keep the shootout. It was like 50-40 wins. Ugh...

Didn't happen when I was using Clemson's offensive book on the PS2. Oh and after going 12-1 with my #2 Montana Grizzles and winning the Orange Bowl, I hit the mother of all roadblocks. My defense up and left me last season for graduation reasons. I head into the off-season trying to recruit many players to replace them. But apparently I'm not the place people want to play. So I'm sitting with only 4 players about 70 overall, and the rest below for a defense. >_< Just after I threw for like 400-500 per game last season just to survive, I'm gonna hafta do it again. Dammit all. I barely won nearly all my games playing like that.

Say goodbye to Zherdev playing this year then. There's no way Columbus will meet his demands.

So I've played some more of Dirge of Cerebus, and I must say that I've finally hit those ever so wonderful "plot holes". ...that aren't really plot holes more than stuff that gets cut off in the chopping block in the translation department and thusly not enough of a good explaination. I mean a lot of people might say "well, there's no explanation for " " and while I was just as confused, I think its probably just named that because it was the first one. Because remember: And the story for the most part is very good and finally seems to close out Vincent. Not exactly sure where I am at the moment in terms of stages, but I'm fairly close to the end. Oh, and if anyone plays this game, expect like 20 hours worth of FMV. Lots of in game cutscenes and some great CGI movies. ...oh, and Yuffie doesn't play anymore of a part than the rest of the gang sans Reeve's (he's actually important).

The mangaka is over 10 volumes in Japan. We're covering about 160 volumes with episode 19, so we've still got story to go. But I think the point of the manga is more about school life and the time you spend and not the actual relationships. However the main romance seems to be heading to the Flag Faction, which I'm all in favor for.

...why not just have a ceremony cause he retired as one of the greatest to play as a 49er? I'm just pissed at all this retiring/un-retiring crap that is going on in sports. Besides, as I just said, you can still hold a party for him retiring. There is no reason to have him "sign a contract" to have him "retire" in the 49er colors. When you've retired that's it. The only reason you "come back" is nothing more than a publicity stunt or to prove you can still be around when you are too far gone.
