My nose is tuffed up. With boogers that are frickking made of concrete.
OUCH! Well, it's not like I needed that nose hair...

Madden 2005 for the PC runs only under Me/XP. Not Win98.
So I'm going to need to get a PS2, since I really want all the improvements in 2K5. For example:
- The players no longer just care about the money. If your star wide receiver is making the Pro Bowl and getting several catches a game, he'll re-sign in a heartbeat. On the other hand, if you don't throw to him, or trade away his favorite quarterback, he'll demand a trade. In the same vein, if you have a winning team, it's easier to sign free agents.
- You can custom design some of your fans. You know those crazies who show up painted in the team colors, or wear capes? They can be in your stands!
- An improved NFL News gives you hometown newspaper stories on your team, as well as other goings on around the league.
- You now get game plans specific to your next opponent handed you by your offensive and defensive coordinators. The Titans have been giving up 150+ yards on the ground? The offensive plan will be heavy on runs and play-action passes. The Ravens have a battered offensive line with two rookies starting? A lot of blitzes will be in the plan.
- The hit stick. When you really want to level the ball carrier, you can lay a massive hit on him. But be careful, going for the big hit sometimes means a missed tackle!
- Improvements on defense make it easier to assign double-teams, man-on-man coverage, and zone assignments.
*sigh*
But I can't afford a PS2.
I need to write something. I wish SJG would get the updated wish list up.

fimbrethil is a metal goddess.
Oct. 7th, 2004 01:58 pmSeriously. Whenever I connect with her at any level, metal music comes on.
I read a journal posting by her, and Metallica hits WinAmp.
Get email? Iron Maiden.
Just now, I was looking at a map of Queens on MapQuest. Not two seconds after I opened it.. Judas Priest - Heading Out to the Highway
She has strange and wondrous powers.

Oct. 7th, 2004 04:46 pmHow about Iron Chef with the subtitles spoken by Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship of MXC?
Vic: Just look at how effortlessly Chen Kenichi fillets that squid.
Kenny: Sometimes a man just isn't a man until he's gotten his tentacles in a vice.
Vic: Right you are, Ken.
Unless you watch Iron Chef and MXC, this won't make any sense, but I'm laughing.
