    Or they made a demo video of small bits of running through their environments, similar to the fake demo they made to try and scam Microsoft during the VG development. I personally am more put off at how the layouts are mostly direct lifts from other games.

    PS- Holy fuck is Watt's career being wasted worse than Barry Sanders was. I would love to see how much Brady's numbers fell off after he stopped getting the other team's defensive signals fed to him, as well. The 19-1 season is basically the last time he really piled up a ton of numbers and...

    This could turn it around for Vanguard. As in, VG will no longer be the worst thing Brad ever did. Not going to criticize the animations or art quality, as that stuff tends to get fixed later, but.... Holy fuck did they just cut and paste NRO/Oasis into that game and large chunks of...

    Favre had Sharpe for a year or two before the superbowl season. Risen and Don Bebe for the SB win year. Keith Jackson for a few at TE. He did have Driver and Nelson at the end. Of that group, I think only Nelson might ever make HoF and that will be for his time with Rodgers. Percy Harvin...

    Used DSL a ways before broadband cable modems went into widespread use, which was decent enough for the time. Sad how spoiled I am now that I can't stand working on anything less than a gigabit network these days.... And yeah the old USR external 56k modem was the beast back in the day.

    Valhall were always a class act, though. Great guys to XP with, for sure. The CoE hate on that old poll is mostly due to Leyor's love of stirring up drama, which I did not fully appreciate until I was in his guild for the last six months of my EQ tenure. We used to have a lot of JPN#1 guilds...

    Looking at their schedule, Dallas basically has two real tests left this season (assuming they keep their focus). The Philly games will likely decide the division, though the Eagles have looked more erratic and I think they might drop more games down the stretch. If they actually put away the...

    What splock said. If it weren't for recruitment and drama defusing, being a leader or officer in a guild was actually a lot of fun. Fuck the drama, though, especially bored housewife cleric drama.

    Simply having complex interests that the parent does not share is enough to do it, really. As a kid I had intense interest in physics, music, and computer programming.
