  go farg yourself FF

The rest of my night went wonderful...

[Zanshin]

Had one of those "no effin way games" against the Giants. 27-14 loss. I play on all madden, so sometimes it's just not gonna happen. Westbrook did juke the living farg out of Sam Madison though on one td run.

Are you still on PS2?

Anyone check out the BioShock demo yet?

Good stuff.

Yes, I have it on pre-order. Can't wait till tuesday

[mussa]

just noticed in franchise i can't seem to locate the section where you can adjust AI sliders on the main menu. I did find them during the game, but why not have them in the main franchise menu? Also I wanted to checkout my special teams kickoff unit, but couldn't find the section to switch players....wtf!

I do not like the new menu setup either...i dn't even want to check stats, its that hard to navigate through. Just horrible idea.

You live near Temple.  Can't you just someone to steal one for you?

[Zanshin]

SunMo, are you picking up Madden, or what?

Actually, you're the racist.  I was thinking you should get the crazy old homeless white guy to steal it for you.  Every downtrodden area has a couple of those guys.

Oh, and I saw that they did add Bloom-- he's a 98-rated returner....and a 58 rated WR.  That has to be one of the lowest rankings in the game.

[SunMo]

SunMo, are you picking up Madden, or what?

eventually, but since i'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, it won't be until after next week

[MDS]

what are next gen consoles? ps2? speak regular talk, not nerd.

[Zanshin]

Yeah, sorry, that was a REALLY tough code to crack.  xBox 360/PS3, doofus.

[mussa]

zanshin...is this readily available to everyone, or do you need some sort of device to download it?
