Eddiegreens, did you pick up Castle Crashers?? I am considering it, but have a lot of games to catch up on as it is.

ponti_sam
08/27/08 11:57AM ET
What if EA had a filter to make sure that the horribly ugly can't upload their grills. "We're sorry. Your mug is too atrosh to upload."

For some reason I don't think I'd make the cut

ponti_sam
08/27/08 12:15PM ET
You have to pound the rock on O and try to keep it out of his hands. He's pretty hard to stop w/ Young. I didn't spy too much myself because IMO the AI on the spy linebackers is kind of poor. They give so much cushion that Young can just scramble for first downs really easily before the spy can step up and crunch him. It might work better with your backers though.

08/27/08 12:16PM ET
Here you go Bob You will have to log in and sync your XBL name with this account. Make sure you use your email account that you used for XBL. After you get to your page you will have to add a "widget" (which is on the upper right hand side of your page) Add the widget (Tiger Woods Game Face) to your page it will then appear in the bottom left hand corner of your page. Go into that and you are all set. Load Front and Side photos, Pop in TW09 and find your photos. It easy as hell to do. It sounds confusing but it is easy. The hardest part is linking your XBL account with your EA Sports World account.

PGA players were RAVING about how sweet Ridgewood CC was this past weekend for the Barclays. I have a ton of friends that worked the weekend and were just buzzing how sick it was. Drinking all day, and a stellar, playoff finish between Signh and Garcia was a perfect way to finish the weekend. Huge success, vijay sighn said he fell in love with the course and was wondering where it had been all these years!

I'm playing there in a few weeks with bro in law who is a member. Stoked! its mighty challenging.

Also Cubs win today to go 33 games over .500.

Highest mark since...1945, before my dad was even born. Crazy!!! They're pretty much at the point where it would be a colossal collapse (even by Cub standards) to not make the playoffs. So stoked that my Dad could be going to go to a Cubs playoff game.

He's been a die-hard since the mid-50s and was vending in 69 during the famous collapse. Seriously will be a night I remember forever.

Castle Crashers is fun! Total old-school hack n slash ala Streets of Rage or TMNT 1989, but with loads of weapons and light RPG elements like building up your dood's attributes (Strength, Magic, Agility, Defense). Different weaps give diff attributes, and as you build up your guy you get new combos. Awesome art style, graphics are very sharp. around 20 unlockable characters.

Id recommend it if you like TMNT but want a lil bit more to it. should be a total blast with 4 players, and you can do online co-op combined with couch co-op (ie you and two buddies can enlist an online friend as the 4th player)

again, looking to rebound and climb above .500 the vikes had a tough match up facing the patriots. in a close 27-21 victory the vikings had to play their best complete game of the season. led by Adrian Peterson's 167 ruyd and 2 td effort, jackson also played his best game of the year going 16/19, hitting 8 different receivers for 1 td and more importantly no interceptions! Looks like the vikings, missing a passing game earlier in the season, is starting to fire on all cylinders...don't underestimate this squad folks...

side note, at the half way point in the season adrian peterson has piled up 1190 ruyds and 13 tds...

Unreal last night. I finally start scoring, and I blow 2 GAMES! howdy's game saw me burn a time out on a challenged play that was called in MY FAVOR! doh'd. I thought it was called out, when in fact it was my guy in bounds who made the play. time out would have been huge down the stretch.

Yuma's game I was rolling in, he scored a HUGE TD as time expired in the 2nd half that tied it at 14, then a kickoff return fumble by Welker that was picked up by his kicker and returned for TD. Then my controller flew out of my hand into the floor and I was DUNZO!

Kickoff fumble returned by Saint's kicker.

American football crazy rappers BOW WOW and THE GAME are set to go head-to-head on videogame Madden NFL - for a $100,000 (GBP50,000) prize.
Bow Wow has thrown down the challenge after The Game - real name Jayceon Taylor - claimed he was the world's best player.
He says, "I've seen you do your thing in Madden. But I wanna let you know I will bust your ass in that Madden. We can get it poppin, on $100,000 dollars. The winner can take the money and donate it to charity. Live on YouTube. We're all family. $100,000 ain't shit to you, let's do it!"
The Game has accepted the match-off, and the pair will go head-to-head in New York next week (begs25Aug08), and will be streamed on KonsoleKingz.com.

yeah that game w/ harp was intense last night.

down 14-0 a solid comeback before the half to tie it. Then I think I scored a TD and 2 plays later picked one off. Scored another TD as a result of the turnover and then scored ANOTHER one on that kickoff.

I realize that the kicker ran all of the way down field, gets in the middle of the scrum, emerges with the ball and scores

hilarious.

The game is in SC and SC is obviously a much better team. If the spread was under 10, I'd make the bet for sure.

SC's QB is named "Smelley", so my intuition tells me to stay away from this one.

They'll prolly blow em out though.

"Cross Swords...(10)"

Now Im a whore but damn Im worth more cheev points then 10! Who do they think they are!

When I was having a good night of Gears on my long journey to Seriously I was avg like 150-250. I think a couple nights I might have hit 300, but thats skeptical, and the whole trip was a blur as I was usually pushing myself mentally to get this done. On a bad night night I was praying to hit 100. BUT you have to remember this shit was all MP. Now we have SP, Horde, and MP player/ranked. So...think about it, you're gonna get a ALOT more kills then you think esp if you sit at the most crowded section of the campaign and grind it or Horde it up which Im not gonna do as I don't want to make Gears stale. Im gonna guess it'll probably take about the same time as the first Seriously.

Kinda pissed I gotta play though the campaign like 4 times to get all the cheevs. 1. Hardcore to unlock insane 2. Insane 3. As Dom (maybe I can do this with someone who wants to get all the "tags" to kill 2 birds with one stone. Hmmm... HARP! I just remember I played through the first Gears campaign at least 10 times if not more and it got stale, trying to limit esp if the game is 15 hours.

You have to manually control the guy first before pressing Y. I thought it was always like this.

Just got 60 minute defender cheev on GRAW 2, pretty much what it boils down to is you have to defend your extraction point for an hour = 1000 bad guys. Had this middle eastern guy who sounded like Apu from the Simpsons as our leader. He kept yelling out commands and who to go to the front line who to hold back, where to go and how to funnel the guys down one pathway until it was under control, as soon as things calmed down the guy runs out there to pick up an enemy gun so he could save his 800 bullet SAW for the final 10 minute push and one of the bad guys chunked a nade from behind cover while he was picking up the gun and he goes "oh shit what have I done?" BAM. Everyone busted out laughing because he was such a serious character and hell bent on beating it from the beginning. Well we ended up getting to the 57 minute mark and all of a sudden I had a connection error. 3 minutes later out of nowhere the cheev popped up.

Castle Crashers is a damn fun game. Totally crazy humor. When I was running through the woods I ran into a deer and all of a sudden you hear these giant footsteps and the deers eyes get big and he shits out his ass and blows off the screen like a rocket. I had no idea this game was so gory either, fucking nutty game. Loving it so far. Def enjoy the simple RPG factor for once. Most RPG's take a few hours to learn but this one is made for anybody to jump into. Def like decapitating heads.

Oh come on, are we really this partisan on here? She's a former beauty queen turned city councilwoman, turned mayor, turned governor. She introduced her husband and mentioned their 22nd anniversary was today so I'm pretty sure she's not "unmarried". And she "chose" to have a baby with down-syndrome? What was she supposed to do?

if her ambitions were to make a career in politics a. you have to start somewhere b. now she's on the fast track. whether or not she wanted the role of VP is irrelevant. all you need is ambition and a plan. politics is 99% trying to get yourself elected. look no further than Christian conservative ministers with their humongous church's who leverage their own beliefs for the almighty dollar to see how they do.

Damn my momma always taught me to never talk politics or religion with your friends for a reason.

Harp, Bionic Commando is really sick. Has the old school NES gameplay feel with the controller and the graphics look nice. It has ragdoll animations, RAGDOLL ANIMATIONS! The cheevs aren't that hard, I got 40 in less than an hour, bout halfway through another 20 pointer, should all in all end up with at least 80 if not 100. Im not searching for any collectable things so those are out of the question. The rest are very possible. The game is fun though, don't really pick up XBLA games for cheevs unless I beat the game and they look easy to go back and do.

Castle Crashers is def worth it. How long is this game anyone know? Does it save?!?! I hope I don't have to start over. Greens, Weave, Bobby, you guys down for Co-op tonight?

08/30/08 1:12PM ET
Yall do know about the 5 other cheevs they left off the IGN list and only posted on www.gearsofwar.com? It was all the new weapon and features cheevs.

I noticed how much easier these cheevs looked compared to the first gears. If I had been one of those people to pick up Gears "later" and had seen the cheevs theres no way in hell I would have been able to do them. If you think about it at least half of Gears 1 cheevs are pretty hardcore and require skill and lots of playing. Really I don't see any of the Gears 2 cheevs being difficult besides maybe the finish Horde mode, but if you can put it on casual theres really no challenge. Seriously 2.0 is nothing more than tedious and won't really be a problem besides the wait. I made it to RAAM on insane by myself in Gears 1, if EPIC follows the trend of following up a great game with something dumbed down for the ma$$e$ this insane won't be nearly as hard.

ponti_sam
08/30/08 1:23PM ET
what bums me out about the achievements is that they stated the only stat tracking they were going to have is achievement tracking. well the cheevs are easy as balls, so beyond the long march to seriously 2 the achievement tracking is pointless. add that to the fact they won't have video and IMO that's two huge missing features from the game. look no further than Madden to see how much added value the video portion of gaming has. total ball dropping on Epic's part.

08/30/08 9:32PM ET
Damn...me and MadCheeba just had an epic league game...Vince Young got knocked out of the game in the 2nd quarter and the Chargers were leading 14-11 with 1:45 left in the 4th... LT runs for a first down which will probably ice the game...but he fumbles when I try to make an idiotic spin move! Titans score to go up 18-14, but the Chargers march downfield to get in within the 10 with 18 seconds.

LT got tackled inbounds, so I had to call a play and get into the end zone to win...

Rivers gets the ball snapped with :02, the play wasn't ideal and I had to throw to LT in the flat. Three Titans converge to stop him on the two yard line to win the game!
