CarrionCrow: Good morning. =) Sorry, thread shifted into breakfast discussion. -laughs-
Aside from being ready to chew paint off the walls for sustenance, how's your day going?
Very slowly and low key, which is nice - thanks! A few easy "chores" (yay landfill!) and some fresh air later on but for now enjoying lounging here; yours?

AgentBirdnest: I honestly don't know how to answer that.

About the same here. Slow night but the sun's out now, so hopefully all the frozen guts of my house can start to defrost. (I HATE winter.)
Landfill's always a good time. Nothing says peaceful like the reek of garbage. -laughs-
More coffee on tap, more games to play, was thinking about doing my nails later but just looked and they're okay, so eight dollar polish can kiss my ass since the two dollar crap I bought works just as well. -laughs-

FoxySage: It is a thread about random jibber-jabbering nonsense with no real topic. So say whatever you like. :)

As for the question. No clue. It's probably sold, but i don't think it is anything special. (Never had any interest in sport games)

j0ekerr: I despise any and all sports games, with the possible exception of car racing ones which shouldn't be a sport, more of a competition.

That said, I despise American Football with a specially toxic bile that can melt through steel like a xenomorph's blood. I despise everything about it, from it's dumbed down tactics, to the armour pads player wear, to the apparently overused pauses to discuss tactics.

Hell, I even find bloodbowl boring.

And while I'm not precisely a fan of Rugby, I'll defend that game against its yank bastardization. It's more dynamic, more tactical, and requires both brain and balls of men who don't mindlessly charge forward and aren't allowed to wear protective padding.
Mutant League Football. ;)
Also, I agree - have to respect rugby players more, despite having no frigging idea how the game's played. Those guys are frigging nuts, which is pretty much always a plus in my book.

I don't despise it because i got no real interest in any sport. I find it boring to watch or play. I'd rather watch chess than sit down to watch sport.

Don't ask me about details. I have no idea under what circumstances you form a scrum. I think I did once upon a time but I've forgotten. But I can tell you the most basic rules which, in my humble opinion, make the game more interesting than American Football.

-You can't throw the ball forwards. When you pass it, the receiver must be somwhere behind you,
-You can however kick it forwards, for obvious reason this is not done all that often.
-You can ONLY tackle the player who's holding the ball, tackling anyone else is a foul.

moonshineshadow: *big hug for AgentB since he did not get the happy hug this morning*
Thanks. *returns big hug*

I did get something else happy this morning. A generous ninja left a gift in my inbox this morning. I played it for about two straight hours.

A while after that, for some reason I can't figure out, I just kinda snapped. I was at the sink getting a drink of water, and in an instant, everything just got all weird.
I got really freaked out, but not about any specific thing. Just general anxiety with no apparent trigger. Since that moment, I have had a hard time concentrating, I can't enjoy any games, I can't really taste anything, I am getting really irritated at everyone, and my mind is very sensitive to light and sound.
Not quite sure what happened.

^So there is my answer to CC. That is how I am doing today.

LOL! Oh and you might appreciate this (as I was whining my head off last time I talked games in this thread) but a restart of Nexus and a walkthrough (to avoid "midmission surprises" that would necessitate a restart) brought out some fun for me. I really thought I was going to have to shelve a game I had been looking forward to playing - was happy I ended up enjoying it.

Sorry to hear, hope you'll feel better soon, Agentbirdnest. :)

That sounds awful! Wow...

Good luck, I hope it's over sooner rather than later :( Wish I could do more than offer that :(

Massive anxiety attack that knocked you for a loop?
Sorry, man....gotta fucking LOVE when your brain pulls things like that for no apparent reason. I hope you start feeling better, and sooner rather than later.

You're doing better than me. Wasn't aware of those rules. Will have to look it up later on.

It's good that you found a way to make it enjoyable for you. =) Beats the crap out of simple disappointment.

Only partially true. :-)

I find its name the most offensive thing about it though. Even rugby has more kicks than the american flavour. And the ability to pass the ball forward feels like cheating. Just like the tackle anyone rule feels cheap.

Basically it's rugby made more orky but without the awesomeoness of playing like actual Orks.

It should be noted that I have no interest in either game, and will never willingly watch a game of either sport. However, for some unknown reason, american football just rubs me the wrong way. I honestly don't know why I feel so strongly about it, but I do.

Baseball on the other hand I'm quite sympathetic towards, basically because it's cricket done RIGHT. Both games can be soul suckingly boring, but I'll confess to have played softball as a kid and managed to, *gasp* enjoy it somehow.

I'm not defending the game, but that's not a rule. In fact not only can you only tackle certain players, there are detailed rules regarding where and how you do it that dictate it's legality.
