QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 04:10 AM) Anyone excited about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? I know I am...in fact, I was so excited about it that I drunkenly purchased a new XBox (was going to go PS3 but I still have like 8 360 games, so I think I'm going to switch during the next gen) a few days ago. Almost made the mistake of buying the 4 GB for $199, then saw that Best Buy included a $75 gift certificate if you buy a 250 GB. Yeah, that was a simple call. Anyways, totally jacked about Skyrim and I am really, really looking forward to getting back into real video games. The original XBox just doesn't cut it for me anymore. My life and relationships are pretty much over once the new Elder Scrolls comes out. Unless you're in my xbox live party then there will be no way to know if I'm alive or not.

QUOTE (Papa Tru @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 12:36 AM) I watched YouTube gameplay of Dead Island and I wasnt very impressed with it great now you know i can't buy the game if you don't right? I'm not playin that with Quentin i hope you know.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 4, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Dead Island in two days! First reviews seem to be basically what I was expecting, fun games with some rough edges. It'll definitely be nice to have a co-op zombie game, especially since it's been described as Fallout 3 with zombies. That's more than enough for me. if this holds true then it's a definite purchase

I made a Madden Cover using Steves tips, although its not as fanciful as steves creations i think it accurately portrays JayCut at his finest, i actually went to kinkos and printed it out, verrrr nice!

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 11:58 AM) Haha I just picked it up for a few bucks on Amazon the other day and gave it a spin after seeing it mentioned in this thread recently. I enjoyed it for two or three days, but then Deus Ex: Human Revolution came in the mail. That's one I've been looking forward to for a while- and will probably occupy me for a month or two. Anyone else giving this one a shot? The original came out around the time I was a sophomore in HS, and is probably #2 in my holy trinity of games (behind Doom(s), ahead of Starcraft). From what I've read, this is a worthy sequel (actually, prequel). I played the new Deus ex but unfortunately my cheating curiosity got the best of me and i ended up exploiting the infinite XP glitch after the first mission and was an unstoppable killing/hacking machine. Nice bit of achievements it got me though

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:41 AM) It may have been as simple as moving them from one location to another. I was reading an article a few years back comparing moving troops to anyone's daily commute and how odds are, people will die. Just like next week in Chicago there will probably be a fatal car accident on someone's daily commute. This.. In my experience, the only time we use Chinooks are for transport to another base within the country. I've never seen a Chinook used for a raid, its way too risky to have the entire team doing the raid riding in the same helicopter. Also Chinooks arent very stealthy and make a crap ton of noise.

QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) I don't know whats going on with your game then.. I started a new dynasty today at Western Michigan as the OC Year 1 - Western Michigan - I complete all my goals so far and go into the offseason where I am offered the OC position at Baylor, ide say that's a pretty decent jump for just 1 season.. D+ Prestige Years 2 through 5 - Baylor - I complete all my goals and in 2015 Baylor wins the National Championship with me manning the offense.. I don't have anything else to prove so I do not sign a new contract and look for a new job. The most appealing is the U offering me the OC job.. A+ Prestige Years 6 and 7 - Miami - I complete all my goals, remain an A+ coach, and now I am ready to get a head coaching job.. I have my alma mater set to Virginia in this one, but they weren't hiring this offseason. I get offered the Boston College job, but I don't like their uniforms so I pass. Finally, I settle on Tulsa's coaching vacancy because they are 3 stars and in a pretty weak conference.. A+ Prestige I was offered a lot of head coaching spots, but no elite jobs.. that was mainly because they had A+ prestige coaches and winning programs already in place so there really was no need for them to be hiring.. I kind of like that better as in the old NCAA games I never understood why if you went 13-0 and win a national title with Navy 13-1 Ohio State coming off a Rose Bowl win has fired their coach to hire you.. The problem is that theres a s*** ton of Coaches that are rated A+ after every season so you kind of get lost in that pool of coaches, it doesnt differentiate the fact that i've won multiple national titles in a row and even turned the Indiana Hoosiers into a 6 star prestige program. So when my contracts up im not even Top 3 on any schools list of head coaches to hire since theres so many other coaches rated A+ just for having met a couple measly goals. Oh and here are the upcoming updates for patch #2... Week Advance Anywhere As a token of our appreciation, we’re happy to announce that as of today “Week Advance Anywhere” on the web is now available for use, and that this feature will be FREE for everyone to use. Custom Playbooks With this Title Update the missing play issue that led to a number of problems when using Custom Playbooks has been fixed. Not only is the issue fixed, but you will not need to recreate your playbooks! Any existing playbook will have the fix applied, and you will be able to continue using that playbook without issue. Tendencies As with the Custom Playbooks resolution, the fix to the issue of edited player tendencies changing will not negate any previously edited roster file. The fix will be applied to both those existing files, as well as any new roster file that is created. If you are in a Dynasty or Online Dynasty you will not need to restart as long as your Dynasty is still in year one and you have not advanced past “Training Results” in the off-season. If you are before this point, the update will be applied to your existing Dynasty/Online Dynasty and the tendencies will be correct for all players going forward. If you are in year two and beyond, the tendency issue impact will be less and less as the players graduate/are cut from the rosters. In addition to the tendencies issue, we have also included both the ability to edit height and weight for players, as well as the option to edit the rosters of CPU controlled teams. In an Online Dynasty the commissioner will have the ability to edit the rosters for other human controlled teams. These were both big requests from you in the community. Finally, a bug was fixed with the profanity filter that was preventing many common names from being entered. Now, any name can be entered, for offline use. A profanity filter is applied to Online Dynasty when the Dynasty is created. If you prefer to opt out of this filter, you can set the Dynasty to Private and the profanity check will not run. Freezes/Crashes A major focus for this Title Update was to address any freezes/crashes that were found. There were a number of these issues fixed in this Title Update including a crash that occurred when there were multiple TeamBuilder teams in an Online Dynasty, as well as a crash that occurred during the downloading of an Online Dynasty file. Gameplay Increased the acceleration of QB’s on Speed Option plays. Improved WR blocking, especially on option plays Fixed an issue where defenders assigned to play the curl to flat/buzz zone did not engage immediately when the QB scrambles past the LOS. Fixed an issue where safeties with inside deep ¼ zone would drop back instead of read-and-react on run plays. Fixed an issue in Nickel Cover 3 where the flat zone defender didn’t move as the QB was running at them. Fixed an issue with Double Outs from 4-2-5 Normal where the RLB wasn’t blocked properly vs. certain formations. Highlights Fixed an issue that caused a blank photo to be uploaded leading to issues with other highlights being uploaded. Dynasty Fixed an issue in Online Dynasty where injured players did not remain injured when the week advanced. Fixed an issue where a player’s injury time was only reduced by one week when going from Conference Championship week to Bowl Season. Players will now be back for their Bowl game if they should be off of the IR when their bowl game is played. Fixed an issue where coaches that changed jobs could get stuck in a state where they were still listed as coaching at their old school on the Players Leaving screen, leading to a Transfer Failed issue. Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented Dynasties from advancing to the post season. Fixed an issue with the schedule that prevented entering the Virginia Tech vs. Boston College game (fixed for both Dynasty and RTG). Fixed an issue where recruiting related trophies/achievements were not unlocked properly if you signed an extension in that season. Fixed an issue with Program Stability where the grade would drop from A+ to D+ in one season. Fixed an issue with the Unlock All Promises PDLC not unlocking properly on the Dynasty website. When viewing an Online Dynasty invite, added information to show what type of job can be selected by default. Fixed an issue when in the off-season where player stats did not match up between the web and console. RTG Fixed an issue where CB’s could not audible after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust. Fixed an issue where HB’s could not flip the play after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust. Online Fixed an issue where player’s online stats were not displaying promptly on the Online Leaderboards.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 02:10 AM) The coaching contracts are great too, I created my coach with the intention of eventually getting to my Alma Mater UCLA as head coach and turning them into a dynasty.. Working your way up to jobs was a very nice add Yeah except its impossible to get a good job offer outside of the school youre already at. I won 5 National titles in a row as Alabamas OC, then i won 3 in a row as Indianas HC, and in the offseason the only team to offer me a HC job was Buffalo, (Chris Carter Voice) Cmon Man!!!!!! I cant play this game until a patch gets released and I saw on the operation sports forums that the Super Linebackers are going to get patched FINALLY! I hate that the only reason the defense is tougher in this years version is because the computer cheats more with super linebackers and psychic DB's that run your receivers routes before your receiver does.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 03:08 PM) Curb is 3 for 3 on the season. The last episode with the Palestinian Chicken was freaking amazing. Im not a comedic genius by any stretch, but was the scene at the dinner table when they were discussing whether or not the Palestinian Chicken place should be built next to a deli a bit of a stab at the whole issue with the plans for the mosque being built at the World Trade Center site? If so, that was awesome.. I share Larry's opinion on that "Its America, they can do whatever they want"

Happy bday! :headbang

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 01:37 AM) I have to initially agree with your friend. But even if she's seriously into you, just remember that if she would cheat on her boyfriend with you, she'll cheat on you at some point as well. this..

wow i couldnt even get qwerty to write on my b-day thread. he must really love you over the guy he dated back in the day cough cough

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Your ex is a whore, and so is mine. They will lead pointless, unhappy lives, and then they will share a special place in Hell together. You might think I'm harsh, but I have zero sympathy for anyone who cheats. The only thing I want with anyone who has no concept of fidelity is to be there the day they get hit by a bus. F*** them. End of story

You didnt make any mistakes man. No one deserves to get done in like that regardless of what you did. Just relax, be yourself and keep having fun. Relationships seem to fall into your lap when you're not actually looking for them. One day you'll get that girl that wants someone to be clingy with and everything else thats happened in past relationships will be in your rear-view mirror. Personally ive dealt with my personal catastrophe by having some of the best months in my life. Its literally been like that scene in the Wedding Crashers where its basically a montage of falling in bed with random women, and I love it. I spent 2 years of my life being faithful and doing the right thing because i thought my partner had my back, now its my turn to be bad

Ive never walked in on a situation like that.. But my last catastrophic relationship ended in a sort of similar manner. I was dating my ex for over 2 years and i started to notice her acting a bit strange and not really wanting to hang out as much, claiming she wanted to spend more time with family so of course i fell for it. One fateful morning i drove her to work and she had forgotten her cell phone at my place so when i got home i grabbed it and was about to return it but my curiosity got the best of me.. I ended up finding texts from 5 different guys, exchanging not only flirts but also requests for MORE dates with each other. Also photos of her newly implanted chest with nothing on. It hurt bad because of the fairly long length of the relationship. I still to this moment cannot explain where i had the guts to keep myself classy and not explode. I returned her the phone, told her what i found and ended it. She of course tried to explain but when you get caught red handed like that with that many guys, theres just no turning back.. From my experience, once a cheater, always a cheater. You're fortunate that the relationship was short. Its a bit easier to move on but no one ever likes to get cheated on. Its probably the most damaging thing to ones pride and the pain can linger for ages if you sit there and let it get the better of you. Im sorry to hear about that though, guys like us try to do the right thing and get screwed over massively 9 times out of 10.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 25, 2011 -> 12:59 PM) Now that is a recording I would have liked to have heard! Just imagine two pitbulls with rabies inside a cage, and one of the pitbulls has silicone breasts and is a whore and the other one hates the air she breathes.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:05 AM) Miami is gonna piss this series away if LeBron doesn't realize hes the best player on that floor and start acting like it.. jesus, 11 shots? Cmon man.. yeah seriously.. every play should be, give the ball to Lebron Jordan and let him score every time. If he tries to do those last second passes you bench him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) That $500 3D TV Sony is offering is quite awesome. Especially that ability to have the TV display two different things for co-op or two player. That was my favorite part of Sonys show. When they showed PS Vita's party chat system i thought for sure they were going to show that they are implementing it into the PS3 for the next patch.. But alas, i'll have to keep joining xbox live party's while playing on my ps3

happy bday

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 5, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) Yeah what's everyone going with? I'm getting infamous, have lbp, but can't decide on a second one. i went with wipeout and dead nation.. I already had infamous and lbp.. i was tempted to get infamous again just because of how awesome it is but it would be a waste for me seeing as infamous 2 comes out this week.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Jun 3, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) It's happening again. I have Comcast internet and for the past few years, every time it gets really hot outside, my internet begins disconnecting. My router will not connect. Then nighttime comes or a day when it is cooler, and the internet works fine again. WTF? I have never heard of or experienced anything like this in my life. thats crazy, i was having the same issues the past couple days when it gets really hot out.

MuckFinnesota, in my personal experience, Long distance relationships never worked.. And im talking like.. Me living in the North Side of Chicago and her living on the Southside. It doesnt seem like much but it takes a toll after a while and if you have friends that have girls that live locally you see that they spend time with each other at a much greater rate as opposed to me who always had to travel from California and Diversey ALL the way to 131st street just to hang out for a couple hours then head all the way back. I personally would never do the long distance thing ever again. Especially at such a young age where mistrust is everywhere, and each person is wondering what the other is doing in between all that distance.
