:lol Hopefully, he'll regain consciousness sometime soon. I'd like to get this done before the basketball games start today.



Am I the only one here who has never played a final fantasy game?

after CB has been raising his anti-FF cock around here I don't think you are

but...final fantasy VII = amazing. I think I've beaten that like 4 times and I'm on my 5th run right now. maybe I should sell FFXIII and just keep rebeating FFVII for my JRPG fix

my top 5 RPGs:
1) FFVII
2) chrono trigger
3) mario RPG
4) earthbound
5) FFVIII


everyone has told me that FFVI/FFIII on the snes is amazing, I've tried starting it like 5 times but it always got boring really fast for me.

I was never really interested in RPGs as a kid, so I pretty much ignored the entire genre. Lately, I have been more interested in stuff like fallout 3 (which I started a couple of months ago) and mass effect. I completely ignored mass effect when it 1st came out, but I plan on picking it up when I can find it cheaper than the $30 gamestop is selling it for. Maybe one day I'll try pick up an FF game just to see what I've been missing.

I had left my PC on yesterday with aim on, and I checked on it every little bit last night, but didn't get any messages. We're about to head over to see more family, then who knows what (maybe looking for a new pet). Should have similar time tonight, LJ.

We went back and forth on PMs earlier this week. I assume he's gonna stay in the league, since he said he'd play me. I think he's going the bluemax route and staying out of the thread.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

anyone down for some perfect dark xbla?

 

[ph33nix]

daw isn't quitting. he's just dealing with a hangover right now, that's all

GG Daw. At first, I thought Madden was out to get me again after these two plays.

Looks like it cuts out before you see my guy make the INT, then fumble it right back to the Vikings.

http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/18105677



Then this play happened in the 3rd qtr, and I lost every right to complain:

http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/18105690
I can't believe that play stood after a challenge. Probably the worst call I've seen in Madden 10



One more just for fun...I was playing an offline game against the Colts. They lined up for a GW 55 yard kick with Adam Vinatieri as time expired. The return was a little Tecmo Bowl-esque.

[Rorschach]

One game left!

 

[LiveWire]

Birdman, you should try Dragon Age: Origins. It's from Bioware, same guys who did Mass Effect, but 19,756 times better.

 

[AstroLad]

gah

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

dragon age sucked dick.

anyhow, is there any possibility the bills/pats game is even going to be done by 9 pm pst? lonestar showed up and then left without saying what he meant by "later tonight"

 

[DMczaf]

I was all excited about playing this weekend, checked my schedule...

I have learned in the past 24 hours that CB is a closet Nintendo fanboy that will defend them to his grave. Were you one of those dudes that were crying way back when Nintendo first announced Twilight Princess at that conference?!

not really nintendo. Just the older games in general. I liked Sega back in the day too.

Gaming bliss for me. Sonic 3 is better than any 2D Mario game

I have sonic 3 on like 5 different things

 

[LJ11]

NES/SNES/Genesis/PS1 were the glory days, for me anyway.

I'm around Lone, not sure for how much longer, it's too nice out.

 

[DMczaf]

The Madden art team is scanning almost every coach in the NFL this weekend. Will be awesome upgrade for the game.
40 minutes ago via Tweetie

I'll let you guess who the coach that won't be scanned is

 

[Nightz]

Mutant League Football.

The pinnacle of video game football.

This is why you are a good man!

Really though, I didn't know you were a closet Nintendo fanboy! I've had a Wii since launch and have sold every game on it. Only game I "have" is EA Active/Wii Fit and that's becaused I gave the Wii to family members.

It's turrible.

 

[CB3]

im not a nintendo fanboy. Im a fan of nintendo. Not the wii though. I have like 5 games on it

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

older games suck dick these days. 2d platformers are still ok, but the bast majority of the games released on snes/genesis are pure trash if you go back and play them today. the worst offendere possibly tecmo bowl. people jerk off all day about this game and say "hey guy, im about having fun!" but the game isn't fun to play, it's frustrating.

good riddance to 16 bit games i say (although they are not all bad)

i want EA to add the smoooooooooooov cam to madden '11

 

[AstroLad]

i am offering +800 on this last game getting played

 

[CB3]

Sim it?

 

[LJ11]

I'm willing to play a sub if it comes down to it.

 

[Matrix]

I'll make my way through FF13, because, well, I have too. I'm on chapter 4 I think, and once I get through the game I've finished my Japanese RPG quotient for the next 5 years.

Matrix I've read the chapter 9 boss ownz a ton of people. I wonder if it will break me as well.

Some of the chapters are just not fun and the spike increase out of the blue on the Chapter 9 boss is absurd. I feel like everything before that was easy * except the chapter 5 boss Nightz helped me with, but even that was easy once I got help* and nothing prepared me or got me ready to have my ass handed to me over and over. You will get owned, but I'm sure you will beat it eventually. I just don't have the patience for it.

This dude sums up the game for me and he's made it a little further....

"Man this game is harder than any ff i played before.. I get owned regulary not only by bosses but from normal mobs too. The battle is nice but this YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT COMBINATION of classes in order to win is retarted. I am at the end of chapter 12 and i am dragging my feet in order to finish this game. The story is unremarkable too be kind and it seems to go on forever and ever.. Graphics are top notch though and most characters are enjoyable (except Vanille what the hell is wrong with her voice? Is she whispering? Is she speaking sofly? Why is having an orgasm each time she does pretty much anything ?)."

 

[CB3]

Somnia when can you play after we advance?

 

[Lonestar]

I thought I had my PC on last night, but who knows. Still out and about, and all I know is....I need a nap.....

[Lonestar]

Yes should be home in thirty minutes. Then ill have to get away from the family.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[ph33nix]

can't wait to get my game in tomorrow night. it has been too long

Spoiler

since LJ has hurt my butthole

 

[PBY]

sable... can u play after the advance?

 

[Mrbob]

Daw when can you roll this upcoming week.

 

[TheCrow]

Nightz, could you play after the advance?

 

[Lonestar]

Fuck crossing routes, quick wr screens, and the ability of others being able to easily stop any attempts at a run game...

You guys should have just let him play the CPU, because he already pulls some Neo bullshit out of thin air. Twenty out of twenty two passing.

 

[Matrix]

LJ is a God like Rors, just think that way and you will feel better. Both of them manage to win with complete shit.

Plus FMT made copies of his game shark and mailed them each one.

Not sure it would do anything against EA-LJ. Look at that...it's a Sack! No wait, the LT warped and suctioned in the DE, and the QB gets away and slings it on the run.

http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/18122471

This happened so fast...it counts as a run.


It serves no point on me ever playing him again. None, except piss me off at the inevitable result.

 

[Matrix]

Heh I use the Texans D playbook, what am I missing from the Jets one? the 1-5-5 everyone bitches about?

Riley looks like Freeman.

 

[LJ11]

Riley's release is blazing fast, that throw on the run was pretty sweet, glad you saved it.

I threw about 3 WR screens, that's as many as I've throw in probably two seasons total. Meanwhile guys run them all the time against me.

I switched to the 3-4 because people were getting frustrated with 4-3 DT play, at least in the 3-4 I can play some MLB. Only reason I use the Jets book is because it has Nickel Normal, it comes in handy at times, only sack I had was out of Nickel Normal.

I'm not going to line up in 1-5-5 against big run sets, something you did. You'll rarely see me in that D. Gave you a bunch of different looks, 46/various 3-4/various Nickel, didn't stick with one package the entire game.

My D didn't do much anyway besides drop two ints, it was all Riley. I'm going back to 4-3 anyway, might as well give you guys a real reason to be miffed.

I actually used Multiple. I tried the 1-5-5 some, from all that talk earlier about it. Really, my gameplanning on both sides is random and instinctual. How do I know when you're going to run, or do the 2 WR to the left, flanker do a post streak, and the slot and 1st TE run crossing drags.

My problem wasn't your Defense (though, your controlled MLB seemed to rush the line at times when I ran the ball up the middle, causing havoc on my line. Or your controlled safety running around the TE's on the 1 stretch play. It screams of bullshit (mainly because it seems improbable that I could ever pull that shit off). I did alright passing.

It's your offense. 20 of 22 man. Even on hard throws, they'd catch them. Here I am chipping away with a 60% completion, feeling alright. Nope, 20-22. 1 of the incompletes was a miss throw, and I'm sure the other one was caught out of bounds. You had no drops, and I had no deflections. Even that 2 point play to your TE. I had 2! guys on him, didn't matter.

I'd call defense trying to defend crossing drag routes, but apparently, I didn't call them. Or they don't exist.

I need to do these plays myself.

And how do you guys fucking run in this game?

 

[LJ11]

Put someone on a QB spy if drags are eating you up, I'm only checking down when I throw them anyway. Felt that I went deep downfield plenty in that game. Hit the pass to Toliver, and Purcell twice on deep fades.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

what do you guys think about trying out all-madden difficulty for week 5 to see how it is?
