Zack’s Fantasies are Deflating

Posted September 8th, 2008. Filed under

I don’t do Fantasy Football because the folks here at the studio are MEGA HARDCORE (insert death metal growling) about it and it’s expensive. Plus I didn’t want to ruin the football watching season for myself rooting for some WR on the Cardinals instead of enjoying the games. (Fantasy Hoops is another animal. An animal which I have tamed and rule dominant over. Or it rolled over and pretended to obey. Mixed metaphor caution.)

But some of us more casual folks joined in this pool that was an elimination league. You make one pick each week, no line and if your pick loses, you are out. You can’t pick the same team twice in a season. My strategy is to save the “lock” teams for later in the season for when pickings are slim. So my choice was the San Diego Superchargers.

Damnit.

Damnit.

On the more positive side, I bought some new wheels this weekend, got a little bit more moved in to the new home and watched a really fun wrestling PPV at Hooters. Good stuff!

This week I hope to get some time to dig deeper into Mercenaries 2 and Spore hits! I still need to gets ome more time with NFL Head Coach. I’m astounded by the 25 it got at 1UP (no links for silly reviews) as it is a fantastic game. I don’t think the guy knew how to play the game.  Rock Band 2 in one week. This part of the year is great for quality releases and isn’t nearly the deluge of November when more good stuff comes out than can be played by any one human.

Off to mock a hundred screens. I became a UI artist all of a sudden? I looked on the intranet and my title hasn’t changed… :)

More Polarity Love

Looks like MTV Multiplayer agrees with me on Polarity.

Update… Oh No You Di’nt!

No posts. Moving was excruciating. I’m quite tired, but the home is lovely. Dealing with security deposit refunds most certainly is not.

The site doesn’t render correctly in Chrome, which will require me to de-hack some things. Maybe this weekend? Until then, deal with the horizontal scrolling. BTW, Chrome is pretty fast.

I’m hoping to pick up Mercenaries 2 this week. It has one of the best commercial jingles in video game history.
