Chaos

I too recommend the doc. It was one I saw back when I worked at Movie Gallery and could watch releases that came in a few days prior to us placing them on shelves.

Charley Crockett dropped a second part to his $10 Cowboy album from earlier this year titled "Visions of Dallas." Also, apparently people that bought stuff from Third Man Records received the pressing of an untitled new Jack White record over the weekend.

If you're running inside, not hitting RT/R2 right away will help a little bit, you can see the play develop and follow blockers. Defense has been an Achilles heel for me, and not throwing INTs.

Yeah, one thing I never slow down and do in Madden or now this is just pick favorite plays throughout the playbook and use that for my offensive calls. I probably will slow down and do it in the next couple of days here. I had a funny thing happen last night where my RB broke his ribs, and the injury was like 'he can go back in the game immediately." I then checked the injury report, and he wasn't on there.

The Big 12 or Persona Non Grata for FSU and Clemson (more so FSU) is a fun saga to watch this off season.

I didn't play as much as I wanted to yesterday. One of the dogs was being super needy, and the fatigue factor hit me early yesterday. I am going to have to get used to some of the differences between this, and Madden. I never used metered passing, so that will take some adjusting (I figure I'm going to be forced to learn it at some point, might as well be now). I also am going to have to figure out the presnap adjustment menus. For example, IDing the Mike was not immediately evident. This is the first game to officially have War Eagle played by the band in it, so that was a win right away for me. I played an exhibition game because dynasty didn't work and then played a game of Dynasty. In the first game, I had 4 roughing the punter/kicker calls against me. On the punts, I had no block attempts set up, and one of them looked closer to running than roughing. There is a little bit of jank in this, but I think once I figure out some of the mechanics, it'll get better. I'm just excited this thing is real.

I saw somewhere on Twitter that this happened at the 2021 Euro final in Wembley as well.. Apparently there's a Netflix doc about it: https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/what-happened-wembley-euro-2021-final-161217787.html

I've not put an insane amount of time into it until the last couple of weeks, and it'll be probably my "I need a breather for EA College football" game for a bit, but I really hate the pack logic and the token market this year. I'm debating if opening packs is even worth it or if just getting enough MFP and buying from the market specific cards is just the better route. The live events being tied to pack luck also is just dumbly frustrating for me.

I learned over the weekend that you can convert a disc version of a PS5 game to a digital purchase. I dumbly resubbed to Gamefly last month, and I wanted to send a game back that I was a few hours into, and it was on sale. You used to not be able to do that with games on playstation. That was a launch feature with the Xbox Series X. Also, I played through the tutorial of Helldivers 2 that I also got from Gamefly. I'm happy I got the game this way. I don't really have a group that I play with regularly (joys of being 37 and a friend group with various degrees of lives). How playable is the game if you just use random matchmaking? I didn't hop into a session past the tutorial because I was curious about this.

I back in May reupped my EA Play and then bought the MVP edition with the extra discount to get both games for $135. I may not get much sleep tonight. I wish I could find an excuse to be home at 3:00 PM Central.

I'm on the fence about even giving it a listen. I have just not liked any of the recent output. Marshall LP2 was the only enjoyable release I can recall in the last 20 years?

I'm leaning towards doing that. Closest RSD approved ones to me are 90 minutes or so away. I'm going to be in Atlanta next weekend, but I doubt Criminal Records will still have it by then given the Billy fan cult.

The new Johnny Blue Skies (Sturgill Simpson) album is fantastic and in a couple of listens might be my Album of the Year. Also, if you've never heard any quality Live Billy Strings and are curious, Live Vol 1 is worth a listen. I wish I had a independent record store in town, so I could snag the blue variant on vinyl that came out with it.

I really wish EA would stealth drop this over the weekend for anyone that paid for early access. I'm out of town next weekend (promised to take the fiancée's kids to Top Golf and a Braves game in Atlanta along with their mom doing back to school shopping), so an unencumbered weekend with this would be nice.
