Madden 2010

This years Madden already has a story to tell. From puttin money down the first time EVER to my PlayStation breaking two days before madden came out, its been interesting to say the least. This year has quite a few differences that I donno if I like yet.
One of the differences is that you get to fight for a fumble, but it seems like they happen more often now. Theres a pile up and your screen tells you to press one of four buttons repeatedly-and the button changes. Seemed kinda cool at first, you get a chance to recover and its not all left to the computer. On the other hand, its alot of work and energy to put into a PS3 game-this isn't Wii!!
I remember in college many different online franchises competing. It was a highly stressed part of the game. You think madden the game makes enough money each year. Guess not, because this year they got greedy. To play an online franchise you have to pay $9.99. Thats right folks, this is no longer a free part of the game! Whats next?! Bidding for a fumble? Paying to play online? I'm very disappointed with this 'option,' especially considering the recession!
Personally, my strength in a game is precision passing and a user catch. For some reason this is a little harder. The passing accuracy of some great QB's (Vick, Favre) are not that great. Some people don't know the secret to a user catch. Press 'O' right before the completion and then hold triangle and L1. Works almost every time! Well...in madden 09 it did.
The game in a whole is much more realistic. The movements, the uniforms, your handle and chance for certain plays that is no longer left to the computer. It all is a positive look for Madden--wonder what they'll come up with next?

Quick Dinner

So first I need to share a GREAT real quick meal-or just lunch. Put about two pieces of cut up bacon in a pan on the stove. Let it quick brown (not all the way through yet) and add about 1/2lb of ground beef. Add seasoning and chopped onion to your desire. While that cooks unwrap a (brand name pillsbury or generic if cheaper) refrigerated crescent rolls. Break them apart to make four rectangles and press the diagonal cut together to strenthen it. With a little water and a quick swipe of a rolling pin they stay pretty well. Cut 4 tomato slices and sepretely beat an egg to set aside. The meat should be done by now and can be drained. Transfer the dough to a cookie sheet and put a nice pile of meat on one end of the dough. Add a slice of tomato, some extra onion if you like and maybe a little mustard too! (or bbq sauce). Fold the dough over your pile and use a fork to stab the ends closed. Brush each closed crescent with some egg and bake at 375 for 10-15 mins, or until the ends get light brown. DELICIOUS! Everyone will ask for more and if you take one to work to reheat, there will be jealousy! :)
