This is why I hate playing against the unwashed masses. First off, just as we started this game, my wife called me downstairs to check out some design options our interior decorator had for us. I don’t really care about the design choices, but I figured that I should be the good husband and go look, so I asked my online opponent for a ‘friendly quit’ which won’t affect anyone’s stats or rankings. Then I left the room and went downstairs for a few minutes to look at the floral arrangements . When I came back upstairs, I discovered that not only did this douche refuse my ‘friendly quit,’ but had continued to play the game without me present.
With the recent releases of “NCAA Football 09” and “Madden 09” and their new online dynasty and league, respectively, I will be spend a fair amount of time on the virtual gridiron. My friends and I are starting up an NCAA tournament this week and I’ll be heading up a Madden League as well. Each video game has the new option of saving highlights as a Flash movie and uploading it to the internet for the world to see. So you can expect to see video highlights and game recaps each week from these two tournaments as I coach the Washington Huskies and Seattle Seahawks to glory! Stay tuned.
