Well, even if they DO indeed do that, and the Ghostbusters game winds up being shit....then it's just right in line with the older GB games.

Hey Thoth, I just beat your high score in King mode on GW2. Give you something to shoot for at least. (you still have me completely fucking dominated in every other mode) Edit: just wrecked your Pacifism high score too.

I already stopped watching. I just...don't care about this show anymore. I think it's probably due to how close it was after the shitty writer's strike edition.

Wow. I just found a completely retarded bug in this game. My opponent went for a 56 yard FG. They missed, it hit the crossbar and bounced back into play, and into my guy's hands. Since it hit the crossbar, it was ruled a dead ball. Ok, everything's fine so far... And THEY retained possession. I guess since my guy caught it after it hit the crossbar, the game thought I had possession and had attempted the kick. But even weirder, we SWITCHED sides of the field after the attempt. They were all of a sudden on their 39, instead of my 39.

I got the prompt to save it...but nothing about uploading it to EA Sports World?

I finally got my first real opponent in online Dynasty mode (@Auburn) and god, that game was a fucking classic. My players just kept giving the ball away, something like 6 turnovers, only to come back from a 20-7 deficit to take a 21-20 lead late in the third.....and then lose it again, 26-21 when they scored in the 4th. On my comeback drive...I threw a fucking pick, but managed to hold them to just a FG. I then marched down the field in 1:28 with 1 TO, and scored a TD with 9 seconds left, and got the 2 point conversion to tie it up. I wound up winning 43-36 in double OT. Now...how do I save these highlights again?

the chicken. especially the spicy chicken.

Geometry Wars 2 has been released on XBLA. If you aren't rushing to get it, you might just be a little dead inside

No, I saw that. I said no one responded to my ideas on how to set everything up. There were a few people who objected to me stating I'd be creating the league, so I said I was open to opinions. But fuck it; I'll just do it. At least I know I've got the time, the experience and credentials (not trying to sound pretentious- I couldn't think of a better word to use) to make it work. So far, we have Green Bay and Houston. Who the hell are you? Noah Fentz' brother or somethin? Matt Young has 20 years in the business, dude! He took the Packers to back to back superbowls in his Madden Dynasty... seriously, don't talk to him until you've had Bret Farve sleeping on your coach - you could never understand. ...fucking Wisconsin... I beat up a stripper with Pac-Man! You aint got shit on me!

They used to have something like a Director's Hall where I live. It was set up where the top half of the theater was seated like a restaurant, with full circular tables, then a bar, and the bottom half was set up like a regular movie theater. ....this was also the cheap theater. It ruled, until they started playing current movies and charging full price for admission. Then it closed down.

I think I'm gonna pass on Madden this year, because I'm planning on picking up NHL 09 instead, and getting in the EA Sports Hockey League. This sounds like the most awesome feature in any sports game EVER. It's a complete ongoing online league where everyone is controlling just ONE player.

Just got back from this show, and the first thing I loved about this show was the drive. Much, MUCH shorter drive than the one I did yesterday to see CWA (1 hour, as opposed to 3) For a somewhat small crowd (probably about 1500-2000) this was one LOUD fucking show. Ear bleedingly loud. Probably because they were bribing people with the chance to go backstage if they were loud enough. Alas, I failed. Opening match: Petey Williams vs. Kaz for the X division title. I thought Kaz "quit" TNA? Not a very good start for the angle if he's doing house shows anyways. Petey teases a top-rope Canadian Destroyer, which would have been EPIC, but ends up winning the match with just a regular Destroyer. Match 2: LAX (w/o Salinas) vs. Rock n Rave Infection (w/o Christy) for the tag titles. The little kids in attendance were most into LAX of all the wrestlers at the show. That just seems....weird somehow. Homicide plays face in peril for most of the match, until the hot tag, and Hernandez pins Rave with the Border Toss. Match 3: Eric Young vs. James Storm. Beer Money gets probably the most heat of the whole night. They get on the mic and do all sorts of cheap heat tricks on the crowd, and this guy sitting next to me will not SHUT THE FUCK UP while yelling at them. Roode keeps interfering, so Eric gets on the mic and makes it a tag match. Match 3.5: Eric Young/Rhino vs. Beer Money This was pretty much the only bad match of the entire night. Way too much stalling and restholds. Rhino pins Storm with the Gore. Match 4: Taylor Wilde vs. Awesome Kong vs. Jacqueline for the Knockouts Title. Pretty decent match, with Kong doing her bit of just killing everyone for the entire match. Kong has Jackie up for a powerbomb, and Taylor rolls her up from behind and pins her. Yes, KONG took the fall in this match. WTF? Post-match Kong tosses Jackie out of the ring, and...gives daps to Taylor. Then holds her arm up in celebration. Then holds the ropes open for her. Then FINALLY Kong strikes, powerbombing the shit out of Taylor. Taylor then wins the Worst Sell of the Night award, for laughing while being taken away by the refs. Kurt Angle comes down after the match and basically gives a "Screw WWE, TNA rules" interview. He gets a HUGE face pop from the crowd. Intermission Match 5: Abyss vs. Tomko in a street fight Really tame version of a street fight, with a chair being the only weapon used. Good stiff shots from both men, and the end comes with Abyss completely no-sells a SOLID chairshot to the head and pins Tomko with the Black Hole Slam. Joe comes down(without belt) and says that he wanted to face Booker T in order to get the title back, but Cornette told him it couldn't happen until the PPV. So Joe issues an open challenge to anyone in the back that wants a title shot. Match 6: Samoa Joe vs. Christian Cage for the TNA World Title. Awesome match. Crowd was about 60/40 in favor of Joe. Joe kicked out of the Unprettier at one point before finally hitting the Muscle Buster on Christian and then making him tap out to the Coquina Clutch. After the main event, Borash says that TNA wrestlers will be coming back out to sign autographs and take pictures with people, but I left after I heard "$20 for a picture with Kurt Angle" I also think there might have been a 7th match in here somewhere, but I can't remember what it was.

Will they fix the load times from the last one?

Well, in 2 weekends at least. Most of the times films are contracted for the first 2 weekends, so the big theater drops don't happen until week 3.

Now I'm seriously starting to think that Batman will have enough to pass Star Wars for #2 all time.

Well, no shit obviously we'd like it to be lower. But if I find it 30 cents cheaper than I normally pay, of course I'm gonna be glad.

PS: Matt you still need to do your recruiting in the online dynasty. Miami needs to still play their game. *impatient bastard*

Was down in SC today for wrestling, paid *$3.63* for gas. Was ecstatic to see that. That's about 30 cents cheaper than it is here in Wilmington.

Damnit. Gonna have to try and get a game in then, if I have some free time.

At work right now, I can't read it. Anyone care to summarize? My impatient ass doesn't want to wait the 8-12 hours it'll take before I get home to read it. *hoping it's not this weekend*

No, not from Illinois, live in Wilmington NC, originally from Buffalo. They were just the highest ranked team who would make my HB the starter.

The Kenny Dykstra entry is great.

God I fucking hate my Campus Legend Illini team. Fucking stupid QB always takes off with the ball.

my runnerup status shouldn't even count. That was way back in the dark ages, before we had point spreads. However, what should count is my EPIC collapse at the end of last season. That was fucking brutal.

Sure, I'll take on Texas. Should be interesting to see what I can do against a team NOT full of brain-dead retards.
