  1. I had this little microphone that plugged into the dreamcast controller, it was funky. It wasn't like a normal modern headset, it was like bob barker's microphone on price is right, a tiny green ball on a very long stick that pointed upwards. It was my first time ever using voice chat in a game, and I talked so much mad shit in that game haha. Great memories.
  2. The Michael Jordan mode from NBA 2K a few years back was fucking awesome, too. That was a little bit different, instead of it being one single cinematic story, you had to follow his career and recreate his greatest feats. So, like, there's an episode called "The Shrug" where you have to drain 6 threes in a half against the Trailblazers, which unlocks a cutscene of Jordan's shrug. Or there's an episode called "The flu" where you have to drain a buzzer beater with all your stats down to minimum. Stuff like that. It was really cool.
  3. Same. I'd played online before on my computer with stuff like Quake, but playing an actual football game online was like a whole other level. I actually bought the LAN adapter for the Dreamcast for that game to get better online experience. I remember the commercial for the game too, with a bunch of Packers fans jawing over the internet and a virtual Randy Moss begging the player to shut them up, lol.
  4. I gotta say I fucking love the opening to this story mode. It begins when Devin and his friend Colt are little kids, practicing pee wee football with Devin's dad. Devin's dad is wearing an Oiler's jacket, and sets up a situation for an "All texas superbowl" where he's the Texans, and Devin and Colt are the Cowboys in a last second drive on 4th down. You can actually win or lose this game depending on what you do, and it affects the story.
  5. That does make us sound like true SEC fans, so I guess a little prophetic? I can see why they didn't follow Nate's story exactly (nobody cares who the long snapper is as long as they have good snaps) and that's just typical Hollywood style sports drama, no biggie. Yeah, deffo creative liberties. Like, for example, Devin played football in highschool and college, Nate didn't. But it still is pretty cool, it was worth killing an evening watching IMO.
  6. There's a game on Playstation and Xbox and PC called Legends Bowl which is like an old school 16-bit throwback that's pretty fun. They actually have a sequel coming out in a few months based on college teams.
  7. The very last one, ESPN 2K5, was fucking incredible, and it was only $20 instead of Madden's $60. That game outsold madden, and that's when EA bought the exclusivity deal. One of the worst things the NFL could have possibly done IMO. You're absolutely right about Madden's gameplay, that's precisely why I don't play any football games anymore. Madden has always been pretty awful.
  8. You can take it all the way back to "too bad the NFL signed an exclusive deal with EA." NFK2K/ESPN2K was light years better than any EA football game, college or pro. I remember walking into Funcoland right after I had bought my Dreamcast in '99 with my dad to buy a memory card, and they had NFK2K playing on a small TV in the corner, and it actually fooled my dad into thinking it was a live football game.
  9. Everything I've ever heard about Nate Boyer makes him sound like an incredible person. I'm so glad he got to represent the University.
  10. it was actually a 9-volt tweet about how god damn lame "did you just assume my gender" jokes are, pointed at the person making the "can I assume your gender" joke unprovoked. Also, get your fingers out of your ass, you fucking moron.
  11. how about you shut the fuck up and take this bullshit to cloak room, you fucking hypocrite dipshit? YOU'RE the one going off about how your fucking tee tee hurts over this shit for multiple posts.
  12. "HUR HUR HE MAED THEM MAD JENNIUS TROLL" What a fucking loser
  13. To be fair, part of the 3 hours is somebody actually playing the game. As in, the football parts between the story. They're not full games, they're more like offensive highlights (cause the main character is a QB, and the secondary character is his life long best friend and WR), but they still make up a huge chunk of the run time. you can pretty much skip to the last play of any of those sections, since only the last play is cinematic and relevant to the story. For example, the first time you see football game action is when the main character has to lead a comeback as a freshman in highschool off the bench down 21 in the 3rd quarter. From that point on, it's just normal madden video game, except the last play, which is all dramatic and cinematic and shit when the comeback is complete. Without spoiling too much, the climax of the story is pretty awesome. It's kind of a bad look for Texas Longhorns fans, but it concludes at DKR and it's pretty awesome.
  14. I haven't played an EA football game since NCAA Football died several years ago, and never really followed the pros or anything. So cue my surprise when I learned modern Madden games feature full story modes, with cutscenes and cinematics that focus on one player as he goes from college to the pros. Apparently this has been a thing in sports video games since that Michael Jordan mode in NBA2k several years back. Anyways, Madden 2018's story mode is called "Longshot" and it is inspired by former Green Baret and Texas Longhorn Nate Boyer. The main character is a made up player named Devin Wade who is a former Army soldier who, through the course of the story, rekindles his love of Football after his playing days at the University of Texas. Nate Boyer himself even does voice acting for the story mode. The story mode is like a damn movie, it's over 3 hours long and all on youtube. It's surprisingly awesome and actually got me hyped:
  15. what a complete fucking loser
  16. A&M being in charge of the Space Force is what will put us back on the "For all mankind" timeline with North Korea beating us to Mars.
  17. I'm of the opinion that both washington AND houston are shitholes with miserable weather. So I guess we balance out.
  18. Since when did A&M get harder to get into? Rick Perry wanted to turn them into a degree mill (and UT too, but UT told the state to go fuck itself). You can go back several years and see dipshit aggys boasting (without realizing what they're doing) about how their enrollment rate keeps going up.
  19. *MOSTLY* sunny today: Meanwhile I'm in shorts and T-shirt here in Houston. Been sunny all day (and not in the *mostly* sense).
  20. Literally the only time I've ever seen it not rain in all my time in Washington, was when I would go up Mt. Rainier above the rain.
  21. One leading expert in the space industry who won't be there: Richard Garriott, aka Lord British, who has given many guest lectures at Texas, and is proud UT alumnus (as well as one of the most influential people in Comp Sci).
