And you guys call me racist? Jesus. At least I hide it in jokes!

Congrats DM. What are you going to grad school for? In almost all cases, it is the easiest shit you will ever do, outside of the time commitment. And as long as you write above the level of a functioning retard.

Ram, best wishes to you and your family! Hopefully technology and research keep advancing at a fast pace to find a cure.

As someone who hasn't been interested in Call of Duty since the original Modern Warfare, I have to say I'm intrigued with the Metal Gear Call of Duty Treyarch is cooking up. I read a preview here and it sounds like Treyarch wants to try some new things with the franchise:

I might buy it for the zombie mode alone.

I'm fucking pumped for Blops 2. I hate Infinity Ward games but Black Ops was fantastic. Looking forward to Treyarch getting to do whatever they want without the twatty dudes at IW albatrossing them.

Who even cares about Call of Duty since Halo is coming out, you know what I mean? Also why is pitching is The Show so hard... everytime I try to pitch it goes no where near where I was aiming

Maybe it will end up awesome, but at the moment I can't find myself interested in a non Bungie Halo game. I played Halo 4 already, it is called Halo Reach.

I don't know why that would bother you. Halo 4 will be a prettier Halo, just like all the previous Halo's outside of Halo Gaiden or whatever they called that one with the letters, OBGYN or something.

I'll still give the game a chance. Just at the moment I'm not too interested.

Anyone else with PS Plus check out Awesomenauts? It's free, so I gave it a shot. It's basically a 2D action side scrolling DOTA type game. Had a fun time playing some games online last night.

It's not really similar to S&S at all except for being 2D. It's literally a 2D Dota.

5 on 5 battles, you have your home base you have to protect. There are defenses spread out on the map you have to bust through before getting to the main base. Little AI enemy dudes who spawn and help out in the battle too. You gain money from fighting and can purchase upgrades and abilities during the match.

The only limiting factor is I think there are only around 5 different characters to choose from. Dota 2 has, what, 100 heroes? I'm going to stick mainly to dota 2, but I'll mess around with this game from time to time.

Ollie fucking North!!

And the first black ops had a really interesting and generally well done campaign. This isn't regurgitated shitty Infinity Ward pap, at least the first one wasn't, so I am optimistic. Plus, it's not like any other decent shooters are slated for the fall.

Yeah I downloaded it last night. Pretty fun, but like you said, character choice seems limited (which at this point is a good thing for me since I'm overwhelmed by the number of characters in Dota). Only tried one bot match though, but will dabble a bit more tonight.

Unfortunately that is a terrible thing in this instance since the financial outlook for the publisher is dismal at best so who knows if it will ever be updated.

I wonder if Vilma is gonna be in Madden.
Click to expand...

He'll probably just be buried on the initial depth chart.

Congrats to DM. Are you gonna drop the Madden league during grad school?


Also, best of luck with your son Ram. I haven't watched the video yet, but I will tonight after work. My wife works with special needs children, so I'm aware of some of the hardships the families have to face.

They usually do that with the injured players. But knowing the updates they do, they'll probably delete him out.

You might be right, but I think it'd be weird to keep him totally out of the game considering how much focus usually goes to the single player franchise (or dynasty...w/e it's called). Unless there's a way to just make him unplayable for the first season.

They deleted Vick that one season. Different issues but who knows with EA.

That's true, but I don't think he had a contract at the time. The Falcons voided it, right? I think there was also a question of if he would ever be re-instated to the NFL. Does Vilma have to be re-instated (like Payton and Williams), or is he definitely just out for the year? I guess we'll see in a few months.

None of this matters to me anyway. I'm taking the 49ers in 13!!

Hey guys, May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month, so if you could maybe take 3 minutes out of your day to watch this video, and see what my kid and many others go through every day it would mean a lot to me.

I know I'm late to this, but thanks for sharing Ram. Very powerful stuff and eye opening. I'll make sure to spread the word to people about CF awareness.

And congrats to you DM. Big step

I'm pretty sure I have no shot against you...unless your current slump carries over. I never hit my stride in these leagues until about the middle of the second season. I'm apparently a slow learner.

Yep, I just never wasted my time challenging for them because I was sure I didn't stand a chance. Now, it's time to step up and try to get my team. I really want to run the wishbone with Gore, Hunter, and James!! Plus, manually controlling P-Will is so much fun!!

Same. i have an 18 month old niece. I couldnt even imagine how it would feel to know she had something like that. Luckily at the rate medical technology and discoveries are occurring these days, the outlook on CF will be completely different in the years coming.
