NFL Sunday Ticket!

Looks like the NFL is set to return on the PlayStation, and a little cheaper this year at $299 for every Sunday game the entire season.

Well as a big football fan here in the underground basement, I am pretty sure I am going to give the NFL Sunday ticket a go around this year. The idea of being able to watch my favorite teams, and watch games my fantasy players are playing really appeals to me.

If you watch a a lot, and I mean, a lot of football I feel its really worth the price, plus they break it into 4 easy payments of $75 so your not hit with a $300 credit card bill all at once.

I at first thought, hey just head down to Buffalo Wild Wings, get food, and watch the games. Then I quickly realized, like I am going to spend every Sunday down there? Just about all day too? Plus I am sure I would order food and it's not like you can hear the broadcast very well on the games, since they have all the games going, and people talking. So this Sunday ticket on the PlayStation is just right for me!

"PS3 owners without access to DIRECTV will also be able to receive NFL Sunday Ticket and live stream every out-of-market NFL football game this season for $299.95."

Confirmed over at the official PlayStation blog.

My Team Draft Results

Meet The Bounty Hunters!

Well I got the QB I wanted Aaron Rodgers. Missed out on the Wide Receiver I wanted though. I really wanted to pick up Calvin Johnson aka Megatron. But Ole Tom Brady, I am sure he will hit Wes Welker just enough too.

My Running Backs, I got two decent ones, nothing I'm to excited about.

I also got 2 Quarterback's on the bench that I need to let go of one. Probably gonna drop Flacco.

On my Defense i got the mighty Baltimore team. I know Ray Lewis is getting older, but they still have a stud defense in Baltimore.

I'm ready for week one!!

2012 Fantasy Football Upcoming Draft

Today we have a topic a little different than video games, but hey its still a game. Its that time of year, were talking about some Football! Fantasy Football that is!

For the last few years I been heading up a Fantasy Football League as commissioner. We started about 3 years ago on yahoo fantasy sports. It's been a blast, it really gets you into to football, following players and stats and your favorite teams.

This year things are a little different. Since our newbs are now seasoned vets, I can finally talk them into playing for some cold hard cash! Well were not talking huge money here, only $20 a team. But we have a 12 man league, up from a 8 man league from last year. So that will make a pretty good pot for the winners to take home. Everyone is pretty excited and ready to step up their game since money is on the line this year.

So tonight is our big night, in our league, tonight is DRAFT NIGHT! Tonight some of us from the league have decided to meet up, at a local restaurant and the others, who our out of towners, will be draft from the comfort of their home. This year we are trying out a new drafty system, were doing a auction style draft, where each team gets a budget of $200 to bid on players. We did a mock draft and everyone loved it, no one want to go back to the old way.

Well hopefully I get some good players in tonight's draft and I will be sure to post my roster when I have it set!

Good luck out there other Fantasy Football players! 

Grand Theft Auto V: Looks gooooooood!

Exhibit Sexiness A

Grant Theft Auto V, is looking better and better each time we get a little tiny morsel to drool over!

I have always been a fan of this series ever since the old days when the game was just an overhead top down version. I really enjoyed GTAIV story, and I look forward to see where the guys from Rockstar take us next. From the looks at these new screen shots, we will enjoy the ride!

A new rumor has also popped up that these screen shots look too good for current generation consoles, and maybe this will be out for next generation. Which would put the game way off another year or so. To me that seems to far away. I don't think they would be leaking screenshots and showing that trailer if it wasnt remotely close to coming out.

My guess is, I look for GTAV to be hitting shelves and consoles next spring, maybe around March/April at worst May of 2013.

Until then enjoy the sexiness!

Exhibit Sexiness B

DAYZ: DON'T get to the choppa!

This is one of the things that I love about DayZ. Your battling zombies, on the run... and whats that,  oh my, yes! We're saved! Air support has arrived.... so you think!

Don't get into chopper 1524, manned by two guys in  ghillie suits. As this poor soul find out, he is then trasnported to "Schadenfreude Island." I quite little place, just one catch,  its 14 kilometers off shore, and NO re-spwan buttons! 

The video is pretty funny, and serves as a good warning to others playing the game, don't always be so quick to trust strangers.

Just one of the many reasons here in the underground basement as to why we love DayZ.

NEWS POST: Counter Strike:GO beta is live... GO GO GO!

https://twitter.com/csgo_dev/status/235492469930868737

All you Counter Strike lovers out there, CS:GO is a go! 

As you know Like the previous games in the series, Global Offensive is an objective based multiplayer first person shooter. Each player joins either the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist team and attempts to complete objectives or eliminate the enemy team. The game operates in short rounds that end when all players on one side are dead or an objective is completed. Once a player dies they must wait until the round ends to respawn in most game modes. Players purchase weapons and equipment at the beginning of every round with money awarded based on their performance. Completing objectives or killing enemies earns the player money while negative actions, like killing a teammate or hostage, takes money away from the player. In addition, when a round ends all players receive some amount of money, with players on the winning team receiving substantially more.

So what are you waiting for... get in the beta, cause Trapper will be looking for you through his cross hairs from the Underground Basement!

My first 3DS game purchase.

Well looks like it's an ole Mario game gets to be my first 3DS purchase. Been a long time since I played any Mario game at all. I had good many suggestions on what games to get, but one that keep coming up, for 3DS tittle was Super Mario Land 3D. Plus since New Super Mario Bros 2 isn't out yet and as you can see I got it for decent, not great, used price, but still better than full price!

Super Mario Bros 3 & Super Mario World were probably my all time favorite Super Mario titles. Loved chasing Bowser and those crazy Koopa Kids. Since then I'm pretty sure that was the last Mario Bros game I have played! 

I will have some off time tomorrow to try it out, hence the new game purchase right away. So after I log a couple hours I'll be sure to share what its like to revisit Mario and Luigi.

GAME ON!
