Last day of the steam sale, anything worth a grab? I got Orcs Must Die earlier, is that any good? I may get Dead Space 2 while it's $10 as well, even tho I haven't played the first.
Trasher: sorry bro I have not been home/been hung over. I'm around most of the day tomorrow an will be home early Tuesday

Dead Space 2 was $5 a couple of times, $10 is practically an insult.

Jesus, sorry I've been away since Friday morning.
So, I have bad news, but it must seem pretty obvious lately:
I think that I'm going to resign from the Madden-Gaf Franchise. It was fun, but I got a new job recently, and between my roommate playing Skyrim on my 360 and my new schedule commuting, I just don't have the time to keep up with it on schedule. In the fall, I knew my schedule and I'd usually be home at 5pm EST, but now I'm getting home at ~7ish and I'm exhausted.
So, I'm sad to say and it's shitty timing mid-season, although I didn't see this job opportunity a few months ago (literally popped up over the course of three weeks, an old boss contact me and told me they were considering making a position that would be perfect for me. Rest assured, if you are sad about this, I'm making bank).
League was fun... it was a blast to finally get into a consistent franchise that can successfully get through a season. I had a great time and I'm sad to go, but I just can't keep up anymore and being dead tired getting home from work doing anything but watching Sopranos reruns is exhausting.
Anyway, best of luck, sorry for the horrible timing of course. I'm a bad dude :/

Cool, thanks!
Hope everything goes well with you new job. Don't think I ever played you but hopefully I get a chance in Madden 13. And I almost beat FMT for you but I Fitz came up a couple yards short as time expired.
Now can we switch mmk to the Cardinals?
I will miss you and our entertaining and close rivalry!
No I think he's good with the Raiders.
What happened to Astro anyhow?

Thanks bros, thanks. It was good. I'll troll occasionally and throw up a YouTube mashup in this thread just to get into Ram's head...

Whelp, going to have to win my last two now to try and get a bye!
My receivers and defense abandoned me that game. My rookie draft pick let a dime bounce onto his head that would have been a huge play. Forte dropped a wide open dump off pass for a TD. Then in the second quarter I made a sweet manual int with Urlacher and he got hurt on the play! Out for 3 damn weeks now. No Peppers, no urlacher, my defense was swiss cheese after. My damn defense can't stay healthy limping down the stretch.

I'm done with the league. I'm not having fun anymore and playing my games feels like a chore. I'll probably never play in a Madden-GAF league again, too much going on in my life.

Sometime between 1:00 and 2:00 as a start time works for me. EST.
FMT, I'll be rooting for you to beat AT next week friend! If you beat AT and after I beat DM I'm pretty sure I lock a bye!
Of course now that my spy is hurt Fatty is going to run all over me. Contemplating just resting my current starting defense until the post season! I should have everyone back by the Wild Card round and be at full strength. I keep thinning out every week playing my starters down the stretch. Might as well try to keep them healthy for the important second season!

The good news is that my ex-wife is moving away and I have custody of my son now. Two kids, all of their activities, wife going to school and working, combined with my job is just too much right now to spend the only free time I get trying to play league games.
Its not fair to me or anyone else in the league.

I'm really bummed to hear this bro, I know you've kind of felt this way for awhile though. I really enjoyed our games over the past couple of years, yeah we may have both been bottom feeders but our contests were as competitive and entertaining as any multiplayer gaming experience I've ever had.
I give you a lot of credit for sticking it out as the horrible Rams for so many years. They have to have been one of the top 3 most depressing teams to play as in Madden for about 5 years now.
Good luck and best wishes down the road Story, I will miss you.
PS, I'm sad I'll never get a chance to make up for the fact that I'm 0-3 against you this year!
Totally understandable bro. Glad to hear you have custody of your son, hope all works out for you!
