If you figure all that nonsense out, please let me know. I saw that too, but there is only so much pain I'll go through...I do have Madden (which is awesome).

Too much work for me at this point as well:)

I own it...while you cannot play it multiplayer online anymore the last time I checked it did still work.

Ok, just confirmed that it NFL 2K5 does work on the 360. Issue is there is no way to update rosters and stats that I know of.

It was the best football arcade game ever made in my opinion....the halftime show was amazing, showing other game highlights....was just like watching the real thing.

IMHO this game has something that 10 years later Madden still can't do right...realistic ball physics. The ball gets tipped here and it's a mad dash by every player in the area. Ball tips in Madden and it's a script where everyone stands around like the play just finished.

More CMANO for me. I bought the Northern Inferno expansion and I wanted to check it out, but I'm not going to dive in until I get through the Northern Fury scenarios. Hopefully some updates to the Bardufoss Blues AAR this weekend.

Fortunate Son is one of the top 10 American rock songs of all time. And CCR one of the best American bands ever.

That is all.

I always have trouble playing England. I'm too stubborn to admit defeat to the AI and try to fight out the 100 years war.

Trying out the OP TORCH dlc for War in the West. Just scored a marginal victory against Rommel at Kasserine Pass on the last turn, which makes for a nice start.

Edit: And being a sucker for quality, complex wargames I've picked up Command Modern Air/Naval Ops while it's on sale. :D

Finally trying to play through the campaigns for Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis after installing the excellent ECP 1.3 graphics mod for the game.
Playing as Greece in Victoria 2 using the Historical Project Mod.

A lot of PBEM's going on:

War Plan Orange
Budapest '45
France '14
Campaign Series Middle East
AGEOD's Thirty Years War
AGEOD's BOA2 Wars in America

Other Stuff:
I have started experimenting with War in the West again after buying the Torch Expansion. Which has some really nice scenario's. I am starting to wrap my head around the air system which is very complex but I can see it being a very effective tool when mastered. I eventually want to graduate to PBEM play but it's going to take some time. Just wading in and enjoying the game slowly.

Continuing my campaign in Baldurs Gate 2 Enhanced Edition which is just one of the Best AD&D games I have played. Completely ruined the Gold Box games for me.

Something like all this. I'll be working on a Nine-Years War scenario for Pike and Shot: Le Roi Soliel. Something like Steenkirk, but without
the super-realistic cravat-tying clique-fest that would be there if DCS did the Nine-Years War.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Steenkerque

I played Pike and Shot. A great game. So far I'm in the 1690s mostly. I think the last time I saw any games for that period was in the 1970s with SPI's musket and pike.

I also flew some CLOD more or less in the editor.

Played some more Shadow of Mordor, and set up a new campaign in Age of Wonders III, playing for the first time as a human faction.

threw a wonderful selection of 1s and 2s in my HoN PBEM with Cyrano - needless to say im displeased >:(

things continue at a good pace against KyzBP in the WitP AE game

and opening EU4 for the first time in a long time, i see England is not stuck in the 100 years war with France - ill see if i can manage to ruin that
