A few years back I started having some health issues that completely changed my life. Not life threatening,but simple matters are a whole lot less simple now.

Keeping a full time job is not likely without perfect conditions and I don't have the job skills to compensate for at home work.

Enough of the woe is me...the point is my economics changed.

What money that is available after bills has to be considered carefully. My situation is hardly unique and...

Taking a break while the grout dries in my bathroom remodel, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on what I'm hoping for from NCAA 11.

I just want to get "lost" a little inside the game.

I've made a teambuilder team... The Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs (by deaduck61 for anybody who want to check them out) I'm currently "dumbing" down the WV rooster so it's a cupcake team. The template for cupcake didn't carry enough FS/SS's on defense to run my planned 3-3-5...

Last year, I got excited about the Teambuilder thing at first but before the game was even released I had managed to screw my teams all up (which I still don't fully understand) and then just passed on the game all together.

This year I'm excited again...they added audio tracks for most of the team names I use. Woot!

But once more something that should be easy...takes a turn for the confusing for me. This is my first year with a PS3 and my new PSN gamertag doesn't seem...

I'm loving me some Red Dead Redemption so far.

I enjoy the single player and have had some fun with some pals playing in the more private online settings. And too be fair I'm not really great at the game...I lose control of my horse from time to time and and am too prone to engage the manual triggering system.

But I hate the online open free roam. It's like all the worst instincts in humanity are confirmed as posses of higher level players surround your respawning spot...

...But Damn if I'm not looking forward to Red Dead Redemption like a addict looking for his next hit.

I haven't been this stoked to play a video game since Oblivion.

I have a deep seeded love for most things Western and when you combine that with an open world and some nasty looking graphics. It just makes me act like a Pavlovian dog.
