Jake - You go on the Columbia River? Isn't that a bit far? Isn't that like.. by Pullman?[/QUOTE]

Are you on stupid drugs? It is what defines the border of Oregon and Washington! It's a 45 minute drive from my house. The closest vessel of boatable water.

Evening/morning, folks. :) Back from a wonderful week with my girlfriend in Arizona, and I'm rejoining the R+M Community!


Unfortunately, nothing of interest is going on. But I had to do it sometime. ;)

Sorry to hear that. :upset: Where in AZ were you? I have a cousin who lives near Phoenix, I think in Scottsdale to be more precise.

You have no way of knowing what I got with my girlfriend. :)

She lives in Tucson.

Oh my god, you have to be shi[B][I][/I][/B]tting me!

Well, it runs down from Canada through Idaho, then elbows to the west to create the Washington/Oregon boundary, then dumps into the Pacific Ocean.

:geography101:

Guys... I smell an AIM chat tonight.

Who's with me?

[QUOTE=madeyadams]LOL! I thought it ran through Idaho.[/QUOTE]

Rrivers are quite large... for example, the Mississippi borders Ohio AND Mississippi, what a wonder!

My buddy is dating a girl from Scottsdale. So...there you go.

I just spent the past three and a half hours playing Madden 2006...it's the best one yet.

True to my word I started a franchise with the champs and struggled to an 8-8 record as I got snakebitten with injuries (Tom Brady, Corey Dillon, David Givens, Tom Ashworth, Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Rodney Harrison, Randall Gay all missed chunks at a time) and tried to get used to the game. I somehow won the AFC East and made it into the playoffs where I destroyed the Texans 52-7 in the Wild Card round.

I personally love the new passing system. Your QB has a field of vision that locks on to a few recievers and you use one analog stick to move it around. If you try to pass it to someone who is out of the field of vision the pass will be wildly inaccurate and probably will be picked off. True to life, the better your QB is, the bigger the field of vision is---Tom Brady, for instance, has a huge field of vision and can see practically half the field at a time, while Rohan Davey can only see one reciever at a time. Also, you can see the CPU's field of vision, which makes it funner to be a safety.

Dude, didn't that game come out in like 1993? and didn't they rerelease it every year afterwards.... only with slightly better graphics, and slightly improved gameplay? Why.... it's as though Sports Games are like computer games... only the patches don't come out often enough, and rip you off by making you pay $50 dollars for them :rolleyes:.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]Rrivers are quite large... for example, the Mississippi borders Ohio AND Mississippi, what a wonder![/QUOTE]

Uh, it starts wayyy farther north than that.../slaps

Personally, I can't wait until Call of Duty 2 comes out. I wonder if they'll ever get a graphics processor so large that you can fight in an entire map of France, or Germany. Although I'd be more than satisfied with just one long-*** game where you just run around Stalingrad until you kill every German in the Sixth army. That would be a real game: one that takes as long to win as the actual battle. :)

That's not going to work on me. Even if they did only update the rosters every year, I'd still buy it every year for that alone. I'm a football nut.

It just so happens that EA Sports is constantly making more progress in releasing the most realistic football game on the market. While it has been a little arcadey in the past, they've definitely made more strides this year. 2006 isn't just an upgrade over 2005, it's an UPgrade.

In summary: STFU

Maybe it's my blinding blackness talking, but why don't they do a WWII game based in Africa? I am mildly outraged!

I think I like games more when they have a plot seems to run on forever, like Final Fantasy VII. Sports games, racing games, and war tactic games just kind of get redundant after playing them for a couple of months. I have a tendency to wear games out too. I always seem to get burned out on a game within a few months of obtaining them. Even in the campain/story mode, I get finished with them in a couple of weeks, whereas with FFVII, it took me a year of on and off playing to finish.

:shrug: I'm not much of a gamer in the first place I guess. :p

They do, foo! The first mission in Call of Duty 2 takes place in Africa! (although it's in Arabville, not Negropolis)

I assumed that I hated Final Fantasy because I wasn't much of a gamer. I don't like how Final Fantasy spends forever to develop a plot and characters that aren't even remotely interesting and forsake things like "fun" and "gameplay".

When they set a battle in Kenya or Nigera, call me :p

BF1942 had white guys in the desert. How much more do you want?

I think it would be best considering that all the modern systems have online capabilities now, that they just start releasing patches, I normally buy my sports games every 3-4 years, and I don't think I'm gonna buy another one for quite some time. Also, contrary to popular belief EA is a terrible company. When they got their hands on SquareSoft and gayed up Final Fantasy (first on FF9) I wanted to kill everybody, and now since Square and Enix are merged, not only do they get to ruin Squaresoft's once great games, but they also get to **** with Enix' masterpieces. It's just not fair. I mean... look at FFX2... none of the FF games before was a sequel, well in the sense of a continued story line, but EA knows what the average little kid wants on the market, so they released the Charlie's Angels of RPGs, it's just wrong.

Summary:
Informal confession that I am an RPG nut.

For that, we'll have to make a first-person-shooter of "Zulu" where you play as the British. :)

[QUOTE=Cain]For that, we'll have to make a first-person-shooter of "Zulu" where you play as the British. :)[/QUOTE]

Or how about a game based around the Ethiopans beating the Italians and gaining their independence?

/that IS how it went down, right?

So uh, if you like games with plots and interesting characters, why do you spend the majority of your gaming time playing sports games? :confused:

Meh. Different strokes for different people, y'know? :)

EA doesnt have anything to do with game creation. It is just the american production company.

I'm pretty sure the white people known for stopping a battle to brew tea did that for them. And then the white people were benevolent enough to grant the nation's independence after the fact. ;)

I side with this. I also side with the fact that I near both 11,000 posts and my second MX birthday.

First Person Shooters aren't that good anymore either, and once more, it's the plagues of EA with Medal Of Honor, etc. I that the first couple of games were good, but it's gotten to the point where they just re-release every single one of their games with a slightly different title and setting. The last truly amazing/revolutionary FPS was Counter Strike Classic.

I said I liked games with "fun" and "gameplay", which is why I play sports games.

[QUOTE=Jom]/very big birthday congratulations[/QUOTE]

Many thanks. :)

And yes, on the east coast of the US and further east, I am technically 19 now :cool:

My first MX birthday is in three days.

Their ideas still go into developement.

Still no. The only thing EA does for them is Localization in the US. They have no say in the creation.

Happy Birthday Ray!

Later MX.

Hey, my mx birthday is the same day my brother goes to college. Now, I have even more reason to celebrate.

I hit 11k guys. I gave it to my roots in lyrical challenges.

[QUOTE=madeyadams]Happy 19th birthday Rayray!! :)

I'm sure you and Amy will find ways to celebrate.[/QUOTE]

oooh, you're naughty :p

And trust me, we probably will :naughty:

But thank you for the birthday congratulations...I can't believe this is my last year as a teenager! :eek:

Yeah, soon, you're going to have to get ... responsibilities! :eek:
