Twigg's gaming chronicles

[hackett]

Like yourself, I keep pretty much every game I buy. Just don't have as many.

[Twigg4075]

It's a combination of factors. 1) You usually don't get jack squat for trade-ins anyway and, 2) Nowadays it's a lot easier to do your homework and make sure you buy a quality game.

It's not like when I was a kid and you just bought the game based on the cover art.

Played my 2nd online game of Madden all season today vs. Twigg (360).
Gasp ... it was really fun.

Pretty much the reason I've traded in only one game. I traded in Borderlands on PS3 for a PC copy with the three DLC (at the time) for $2 after it was all said and done.

Yes it was. It reminded me of the Madden and NCAA games my buddy from Michigan and I use to play all the time. It seemed most would come down to the wire.

That long TD in the first half thanks to my horrible tackling and the fact that I couldn't even get a FG on those last two possessions are what really cost me. That was a great game though.

We gotta play again soon.
Next game in Philly.

I had two 2600's that overheated and burnt out before I finally got my Nintendo. Back then I enjoyed every game I played it seems.

Absolutely.

[dave]

Absolutely.

I'll try not to cheese you with Jason Avant so much the next time, but no guarantees. :D

[Twigg4075]

I know you're kidding but you didn't cheese at all. I wish everyone online played like you and just played straight up. The online world would be a better place.

I'm off all day tomorrow if you want to get a game in.

I have to reiterate that I am really enjoying The Sly Collection. I think I'm about halfway through Sly 2.

Always has been that way. Leagues and a select few friends are about the only way to play Madden online.

Twigg if you played someone that was good at Madden you would realize that playing defense in that game is a useless task. SO maddening....thats why people dont fucking play that game.

It is fun when 2 people who arent very good at it and dont know most of the money plays.

[hackett]

I like to consider it more of a chess match myself. Even money plays aren't always money and if you can't scheme out of at least 2 or 3 formations...... Well, then money ain't shit.

[Garrett67]

NCAA football still plays better though.
