Lightning Flik

QB Brett Favre - 16.06 (16) WR Chris Chambers - 10.21 (16) WR Rod Smith - 8.50 (15) RB Ahman Green - 20.69 (16) RB Michael Bennet - 7.49 (8) TE Anthony Becht - 3.60 (16) WR Keyshawn Johnson - 7.80 (10) K Adam Vinatieri - 7.25 (16) DEF Pittsburgh - 14.68 (16) BN (WR) Johnnie Morton - 6.71 (16) BN (QB) Joey Harrington - 10.10 (16) BN (WR) Travis Taylor - 5.46 (16) BN (RB) Arlen Harris - 7.14 (16) As I said before, I'm pretty damn solid, looking at it like this. If you notice, 3 of my starters didn't play a full season, yet still got respectable numbers that should mean that if they actually perform up to what I think they can, I'm going to have a pretty damn fine team. 8 wins or my team's a bust for sure. Oh and HarleyQuinn, if you'd like a WR of mine, I'm willing to deal you one.

Did. Done. No more screwify for you. Unless you already are screwed, and then, well, I can't help you there.

For the fantasy NFL League in Yahoo, you'll have 3 keepers to think of keeping after this season ends. Just a little reminder for everyone.

Reason for that rule is because you'd pretty much have to spoiler any talk of RPGs then, since we are the most possessive bastards about spoilers and shit. Although, I do apologize for my blunder. There was no need for a spoiler like that here.

They are trying to keep Teen Titans away from the rest of the super-hero shows, I thought. So Nightwing won't be showing up on JLU. Or at least if I'm right about the Teen Titans thing.

Rule of thumb on RPG spoilers. If it's been out for more than 2 years, it's fair game to spoil. Or whatever the hell we agreed on, after the bitch fest on the subject about a year back.

REGAL!!!

Benoit better get the fuck out here to defend Eugene.

HHH bullshitting us. Fun...

Considering most prequels these days have nothing to do with the original, I tend to ignore the prequels if I haven't played them.

Most of that was a decent portion of my "sleep" hours.

I'd just like to be praised for the following list of RPGs I've beaten (not really recent, but this IS congradulations thread): Alundra, Arc The Lad 1, Arc The Lad 2, Arc The Lad 3, Azure Dreams, Brave Fencer Mushashi, Bahamut Lagoon (ROM), Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire 2, Breath of Fire 3, Breath of Fire 4, Brigandine, Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon 2, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Crystalis, Dark Cloud, Diablo, Diablo 2, Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku, Dragon Warrior, Dragon Warrior 2, Dragon Warrior 3, Dragon Warrior 5 (ROM), Earth Bound, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy 2, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy 10, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, Final Fantasy: Tactics, Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance, Front Mission 3, Golden Sun, Golden Sun: Lost Ages, Grandia, Grandia 2, Grandia Xtreme, Granstream Saga, Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth, Jade Cacoon 2, Kartia: The Word of Fate, Kingdom Hearts, Koudleka, Land Stalkers, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Legaia: Duel Saga, Lufia & The Fortress of Doom, Lufia 2: The Rise of The Sinistrals, Lufia: The Legend Returns, Lunar: The Silver Star Story, Lunar: Eternal Blue, Ogre Battle, Orphen, Parasite Eve, Phantasy Star 1, Phantasy Star 2, Phantasy Star 3, Phantasy Star 4, Rhapsody, Robotrek, Romancing Saga Legends (a.k.a. Final Fantasy Legends), Romancing Saga Legends 2 (a.k.a. Final Fantasy Legends 2), Romancing Saga Legends 3 (a.k.a. Final Fantasy Legends 3), Saga Frontier, Saga Frontier 2, Secret of Evermore, Seiken Densetsu (Final Fantasy Adventure), Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana), Seiken Densetsu 3 (ROM), Legend Of Mana (not officially Seiken Densetsu 4, and I'm glad about that), Shadow Madness, Shining Force, Shining Force 2, Skies of Arcadia, Illusions of Gaia (2nd of Soul Blazer series), Terrangima (3rd of Soul Blazer series), Saiyuki: Journey West, Star Ocean (ROM), Star Ocean: The Second Story, Suikoden, Suikoden 2, Tales of Phantasia (ROM), Tales of Symphonia, Thousand Arms, Threads of Fate, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, Vandal Hearts, Vanguard Bandits, Wild Arms, Wild Arms 2, and Xenogears. I'm probably missing a few RPGs, but those right there are the ones I've beaten out of the 100 or so I've played; as long as the ones I'm forgetting aren't there. I mean, I added 10 of those on there because I forgot about them. *takes the time to count that for the hell of it* Jesus... I just counted that and that's 111 games. Take that, times by my normal playing time of 30 hours for the game, and that's a total of 3330 hours. Which is 138.75 days. If I also add in the factor of my 20 hour playing time and the extra times I play each game (factoring in some games I've played so many times vs. one time plays) I add another 92.5 days (2220 hours) to the 138.75 giving me a total of 231.25 days spent on playing RPGs. ...wow. I've spent almost 1 year of my life devoted to RPGs. Damn. Yet for some reason, I feel proud. Don't know why I'm proud of the fact, but I am.

You don't really have to finish SO2 to understand SO3, I think. SO3 is way too far into the future to have any past things pop up from Claude and his gang from SO2. Then again, you never know with RPGs. Although, I'm still fucking pissed that they killed off one of the main characters of SO1 in SO2.

I'm dropping Brown and Taylor though. I need to beef up at least my RB position (as in provide a suitable replacement for bye weeks). And really, with the rest of my WRs, I'm not going to be able to put in Taylor (who will probably lose catches) and pick up something more needed. Well, I know at least that Brown is gone. I like the fact that my team is well-balanced all around and will probably carry me to a good 8 of 14. Problem is though, that my team's weakness is I'm not strong in any category so if someone screws up, I could lose games I really should win. Actually, I really like my first 8 weeks as I can take 6 of 8 if my team comes out and shines. As I've got 5 teams that lose a starting player via bye week (2, 3, 6, 7, 8), I like my first week match up, week 4 I have one bye player against Foreign Objects but could go my way as well, and I don't terribly like my match up against Randy Orton on week 5. If I go 6 of 8 in the first 8 weeks, I just need 2 or 3 of the last 6 games to make the playoffs. My biggest concerns is those final 6 though, as I face Agent Bond34 with no Green or Favre, the following week I face Presented By BankOne with no Chambers or Smith, week 11 I face Darkside Dominators which will probably be one of my wins (assuming nothing goes wrong), week 12 against Gotham Harlequinns will be a close one as Trent's taking on SD and Favre's got StL, week 13 will probably be yet another win since I've got favorable pickings against Michaels Mark, but week 14 will be a one that could go either way against Serenity yet I like my chances. Anything less than 8-6 is a failure for my team. I should make top 8 (probably 8th directly).

I feel sorry for Agent Bond34. If Marshall retires, he's pretty much fucked at RB. ...figures that right after the draft, something like that happens.

My Team After The Draft: QB - Brett Favre WR - Chris Chambers WR - Rod Smith RB - Ahman Green RB - Michael Bennett TE - Anthony Becht WR/TE - Keyshawn Johnson BN - Johnnie Morton (WR) BN - Joey Harrington (QB) BN - Travis Taylor (WR) BN - Troy Brown (WR) K - Adam Vinatieri DEF - Pittsburgh Not bad if I say so myself. This team coming from a guy who knows only this and that of football (where have I heard that before?). And just for laughs, I've done up a projection of a team's overall valued worth. Taking into account that rookies are purely based on speculation (hence nothing), that there are benches, and the fact of how many players are on your team (minus rookies). Darkside Dominators = 104.30 Presented By BankOne = 118.08 Agent Bond 34 = 103.17 Gotham Harlequinns = 113.39 Michaels Mark = 127.35 Paper Tigers = 119.12 Serenity = 117.33 Gridiron Lunatics = 129.68 Utter Burnination = 111.00 SmootCriminal = 120.75 Gibbs Disciples = 85.55 The Injuried Prone = 122.27 Foreign Objects = 147.71 Pawtucket Patriots = 110.56 Randy Orton = 105.55 Crimson Storm = 119.32 Based purely on last year's stats people and is value of the team on a basis. Not a projection or weekly performance. Just strickly what value your team is.

I'm a Madden fan boy. Always have been, always thought I would be. Frankly, I wasn't impressed with how little changed last year. I bought the game yes, but I had checked out ESPN's game, and thought it was close to taking my money last year. If it is $20 and if it is as great as Madden (or better), then you've got me sold on only buying ESPN (as I can only buy one).

...uh, last I checked HarleyQuinn, you are hitting .237, I'm hitting .260. Yes, you ARE rated higher than me.

Evo, if Las Vegas continues to be in a hole during this season, I'd ask to have myself shopped around to help them out. I'm getting the feeling I'm hindering the club, and not helping it to become better. So if we are dead last, shop me around. But from the looks of things, I'm not going to be a high commodity.

Or Rando, you can do the RVD type of selling that I used to do as Lightning Flik. I never got bitched at once for it. No siree.

Wow... NL has actually decided to TRY.

7-1 thanks to A-Rod hitting a triple and knocking in Ortiz.

Another 2 out walk. Geez...

Hey, Czech. At leave with MVP Baseball, the pitchers at least perform in the freaking All-Star game.

And now Randy Johnson is having troubles with the lineup... WTF is this?
