"its in the game"..

is he gonna run? is he gonna pass? oh, hes gonna pose..

its tragic. life is such a routine, yet there seem to be but a few things sprinkled throughout my week that i genuinely look forward to--namely, spendin time w/ the wifey and playin w/ the pooches..

but esther and the other two dogs =) are the obvious. the non-“everyday” things that really get me goin are purely materialistic and w/o purpose..

..like senseless video games that allow me to forget how unathletic and uncoordinated i am as i SCREAM at the stoopid computer controllin my receiver for droppin my “perfect” pass (i hate that!)..

madden 2004 looks awesome–seein that freak of nature on the cover alone makes me drool for it..

of the new features, im most excited bout the new owner mode (you can relocate teams, build stadiums, even set ticket prices!) and the playmaker control, allowin you to re-direct a receiver after the snap..

heres an interview w/ the producer of the game, who goes into some detail bout its development and makes some interestin points bout the difficulty of creatin a realistic, yet user-satisfyin game..

and for those diehard fans whove read this far (i guess thatd really only be you, alpo), check out these video clips from e3:

- video 1

- video 2

i think madden--or football video games overall--make for the best sports games out there. of course, i cant say they ARE the best sports games--just that theyre my favorite. i could try to explain why, but there would be no point cuz just as much as mungmung luvs his fifa 2003 or my bro-in-law vies for his mvp baseball, i crave for a game of madden. boys--er, men--dont think; we just play. and we play the games we luv..

yeah, so basically i cant wait for august..

* interestin to think about: for an nfl player, to make the pro football hall-of-fame is a great accomplishment and currently there are 221 members in it. but theres a certain clout to madden, no doubt due to its history. how many players can say theyve been on the cover of madden? not too many..
