First Sunday with NFL Sunday Ticket

I am Hooked!

Every game at my finger tips of the ole trusty PS3 controller. It was great! I watched  a game here and I watched a game there. One game gets out of hand and looses interest, boom I find another one that is close. The only down side I found to this was some games were blacked out. But that meant my local broadcast stations were playing them I just had to turn on regular TV. Only a small downside in my opinion.

Also getting the Red Zone channel included was an added bonus. It's like football for people with ADD! The Red Zone channel covers all teams with no blackouts. If your not familiar with the Red Zone channel, basically when a team enters the 20 yard line or less of the opposing team that is what is called the red zone. This is when the Red Zone channel kicks in and they take you to that game so you can see if they score or not. Then once a team finishes or is no longer in the Red Zone they move on to another team, or if no other team in in the Red Zone, they begin to show highlights from across the league. Pretty cool channel overall.

Female Friday's are back!

Alright after massive demand I am bringing back an old staple of the Underground Basement. That's right Female Friday's are back! How we missed you!

And why not bring back the girl who started it all, Miss Justene Jaro

I usually try to find a girl that has something to do with gaming or movies etc, I'll get back to you how she is connected... Maybe you guys could tell me!

Just like the old days this is how we would kick start our weekends, giving us something pretty to look at!

Enjoy your weekend gamers!

We have a surprise for this Friday!

Well I think it's time we revisit an old weekly tradition. Stay tuned and see what that might be tomorrow!

Riding off into the sunset... not just yet!

Well I dusted off an old favorite this labor day weekend.

Saturday I got to looking around in my back catalog for something to revisit. I hold on to some of my favorites for chances to go back to them. I like to go back and earn achievements.

Well it had been 2 years since I was in New Austin and visited it locals. It was nice to be back. I finished up some odd jobs, took on some bounties, and saved a few damsels in distress. I forgot how big this game was. Even made a trip down to ole Mexico, to help some strangers out of a jam.

I still have some other things to get done, I need to hunt some grizzly bears, and pick off a few more buffalo, and hunt some more animals to earn a few more achievements that are pretty attainable. There are also a good amount of online achievements, never been a fan of those since they usually require lots of time, plus other people can be tuff to deal with in the online arena.

After playing this again makes me hope that Rockstar makes a Red Dead Redemption 2. Love playing in the old west and this game was so much fun. Give us more please!

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!
