‘The Boys’ to End With Season 5 on Amazon

Unrelated, but years ago I saw Jethro Tull live.  I was completely unfamiliar with Jethro Tull.  Only song by them I knew was Aqualung, and I didn't even know it was a Jethro Tull song.  It was just a song I previously heard and I liked.  I was only there because some friends accidentally screwed me over when going to a local music and food festival

Great show, was into it the entire time and had a blast.  Granted, some of that might've been the contact high I got from all the marijuana at the concert

Is it easy to just jump right on in? I've not watched the original series for ages, revisited it when Disney+ was first a thing. Can you just start afresh? 

I haven't watched the original since it aired.  I felt right at home jumping into '97

NIL

There is not NIL in Dynasty mode, and they have a pretty good reason for that. When developing the game, NIL was done by the collectives and wasn’t (legally) something coaches and the schools controlled. Beyond that, given how quickly things have changed with NIL, they didn’t want to put something in the game that was outdated as quickly as it was built – that point got enforced when the NCAA settlement to allow schools to pay players came down a few hours after our presentation.

So, in the future, NIL will likely make its way in once that’s something schools do, but for the first year it will not and the reasoning is solid. Also, I was told not to expect there to ever be a way to commit financial crimes or do grimy stuff in the game, as it’s a rated E game and they’re not changing that, plus the schools they partner with won’t want to that element involved.

Exporting To Madden

Something that will be exciting to fans that get both College Football and Madden is that you’ll be able to export your Road to Glory player to Superstar mode in Madden. That means you have the opportunity to go from recruit to NFL legend across the two games, and could spend 20 years with your RTG player, instead of just four.

Can't say I adore all the voices, Wolverine in particular sounds very off having just finished watching the original, but it's not bad, just feels awkward.

This is kinda odd, since its the same voice actor, but is also does make sense since there has been 30 years in between

Yea, its 4 HOURS long, but if you've watched any videos by Jenny Nicholson before, you know you're in for a wild and fun ride

You could do this on the old games, right? Pull through an entire draft class?

Yea, but I think he's talking about the mode where you created a single character, then played him all through college.  Having to earn your playing spot, doing classes etc..

I don't think there was the ability to play as that character again in Madden.  It was just "import his draft class and hope you can draft him in Franchise Mode"

Those are hideous.  They look worse then our 75th anniversary throwbacks did

I mean I legit thought whoever #13 is wasn't wearing pants at first

Guys guys...the funniest thing could happen

"What did you expect?  Black leather?"

Watched 3 Body Problem over the weekend and it was one of the most ok-ist shows I've ever seen. 

At some points, it could've been subtitled "Or The Smartest People Alive Make The Stupidest Decisions"

I will die on the hill that ME:A was NOT a bad game.

Was it a great game that lived up to the legacy of the first 3 games?  No.  But it was a solid foundation to build on for the future, and I'm kind of disappointed we'll be abandoning Ryder and going back to Shepard

Went and saw Fall Guy and it was a lot of fun.  Bit different then I was expecting.  There was a fight scene  in a nightclub that has some really cool visuals

@VerbalPuke I've listened to your bands demo on Spotify...nice!  Really like it.

Oohhh THATS why Seinfeld is complaining about "wokeness". He made a bad movie and will blame the reception on him being "cancelled" or something!

All in all not great, but does have its moments. Thomas Lennon and Bobby Moynihan are great together and Dean Norris vaguely mumbling "Russian" as Khruschev was good
