Just had an awesome game with all randoms in Dota. Cooperation, everyone had a mic, no one bitched. It was fucking glorious.

Maybe...

Playing human goalie is fun but a major disadvantage, there is no reward for running with a human goalie in NHL because at best it's equal to the CPU Goalie. At worst.. well ... at worst the game never ends because so many goals are scored.

the 6 on 6 NHL games were really fun with forced goalies, but they were so rare.
 
Got NCAA today, it's not bad so far. CPU doesn't seem very challenging to me, even though I heard it was supposed to be much harder. Even with D-overall Umass I was able to really control Uconn. But fun none the less. The passing feels pretty good, one time I threw a pass that would have been a pick six last year, but I was able to lob it over the defender for a modest gain... last year, it would have been a 100% interception for a touchdown, but the lob controls worked well.

Overall pretty fun. Looking forward to the named rosters coming out.

We shouldn't have any issues with fielding a full team. If they can't then that's the beginning of their problems.
 
So there's an early roster out with about 90+% of the teams named. Here's the list of teams NOT NAMED

Bowling Green
Buffalo
Central Michigan
Eastern Michigan
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Idaho
Kent State
Louisiana Tech
Miami (OHIO)
MTSU
New Mexico State
North Texas
Northern Illinois
Ohio
San Jose State
Southern Miss
Toledo
Tulane
Tulsa
UAB
ULL
ULM
Utah State
UTEP
UTSA
WKU
WMU

If you want to pick them up from me, you can download them by going to my XBL Gamer tag:

Rumor has it these might be sort of innaccurate at this point, but it has the major teams and stars right. Also this does not edit any other heights/weights/settings, so it's an online roster.

I'm in for this nWo invasion. Haven't played the last NHL game but I was pretty damn good at NHL Hitz (best hockey game evar)

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I'd be confident against anyone in NHL 94 CD, haven't played much of the modern ones but I think 08 I played a bit and liked. Manual goalie play was a must in the 16 bit versions.

I recently powered through TWD to issue 96.... fucking AWESOME read. It started getting monotonous at the end but the next arc should be great.

did they say this?

this has been "the day" for the past month now

No trust me steam sale is today, and if it's not today then it's next Thursday. If it's not next Thursday it'll be the Thursday after that!

Here I'll catch you up on all 100 issues of Walking Dead:

Humanity is the real monster. Nothing good ever lasts. Everyone dies.

And done!

heh, I was going to post the same thing.

Bob, the Guild Wars 2 guy is on Tom Chicks pocdast this week. Good interview. Are you still buying that? I think I might be convinced.

crow are you still playing dayz?

im hesitant to play it because i hate playing early, buggy software. sounds fun tho and i already have arma 2 installed...

i almost want to just wait until arma3 where the concept may be more realized and polished since the mod team has been absorbed into the arma dev team..

I've been playing the past couple beta weekends the PVP seems like it could be really fun. I only got to level 13 on my Charr but the leveling seemed kind of boring like most MMOs. Maybe it'll pick up once you get a bit higher though

Rumor's abound that it will be developed and released as a stand alone product. I'll wait to dig into it then so as not to risk hating it due to the tech flaws.

Yeah I bought ARMA 2 for Day Z, I don't really regret the purchase because I had a great time with the game but I ran into the same problem I did with minecraft. After you get all the weapons and stuff there really isn't much to do except mess with other people playing the game

Every now and then. I'd say go for it since ARMA 3 is far off and Dayz won't be ready as soon as it releases. It'll also be years before the stand alone version comes out. The creator of the mod always worked for Bohemia but it seems he's getting more help now. If you play we should meet up somewhere and be bandits or raid one of the big cities. Best way to get good gear.

I regret it a little bit. It's really a glitchy game overall, especially after spending a long duration just to find someone.

It'll be out next year if I had to guess. They don't need to release it perfect, they just need to release it as a standalone product.

I already have this. But I suck, don't have an arcade stick, and you'd probably whoop my ass lol

I want Civ 5 gods and kings, not really sure anything else tickles my fancy

We should play. I'm just a scrubby Cody who hits his combos half the time. And I'm also hoping for gods & kings. I'll take any discount at this point.

Smokey, if you already have everything theres no reason not to try it out.

I play SSF4:AE on my PC but I can't get the hang of using an arcade stick so I just use my fight pad.

Civ 5 Gods and Kings is awesome, I really like the religion and spying. I think spying in Civ 4 was better though.

main reasons i haven't tried it yet. the install experience on weekend confirmed made me not want to go through all of that to play a buggy game

Nice, got another to join our madden gaf endless lobby. For some reason I never used spying in Civ 4.

I found it to be one of easiest mods I've ever installed. Just drag and drop folders. But I didn't get it on steam.

It is fun being a scumbag and pretending to need help at the hospital when you have a sniper rifle so you can see bandits or people that actually want to help you flock there and you get to pick them off. Seeing them figure it out in chat is the best part.

I didn't really run into any problems during the installation. There are like youtube videos that give step by step instructions that make it very easy

You might not want that, my friend that is actually into street fighter a lot and has gone to tournaments gets mad at me because I don't play like a tournament player and when I beat him it's because I'm so scrubby that he doesn't know how to react

It's not the easiest install, with Steam you had to do a few extra things. Problem is you would do it correctly with certain elements not loading until you made a few command line tweaks.

It's a disappointing experience overall. It's a really unique and interesting concept, but in the end it's still some generic fan mod. If you gave me a complete and polished stand-alone title, excellent.

That's exactly what I expected and I had a blast. It's called an alpha for a reason.
