Day One..

Whats happening people?

Dan here and i am going to try and post a blog a day for... well... however long i can. It will be a good way to talk about some shit that happened throughout the day, What games i'v played, what things i'v done etc.

Today has only been about two things

Madden 2012 and Pokemon Yellow.

Bry purchased the newest installment of EA's NFL behemoth and we have spent many hours trying to guide the Green Bay Packers to back-to-back Championships (much to the dismay of the Colts fan in this duo).  I can speak for both of us when i say that it is the best NFL game to date (including Madden 2005 before you start). I think that the running game will feature heavily this year as it seems that momentum on the offensive side seems to count a lot when it comes to tackles. Saying that though, the tackling engine has been dramatically improved so it is still possible to 'bring the heat' as it were.

Now onward to my second talking point.

Pokemon Yellow is one of those games that i think is engraved in the mind of any gamer in my generation (stops to play The Who......)

It is a game that in my book introduced me to the 'play from morning til night' style of gaming that i still very much do today. Remembering back in the day, when you had to move to get better light on your Gameboy screen so you could continue that little bit further. The amount of times i can remember lowering the volume and pretending to be asleep while my parents came to check if i was asleep. Only to turn the volume back up so i could listen to the Pokemon center tune for a little bit longer. (This was obviously before i knew headphones existed)

But anyway, i have been playing this again on an emulator and, 4 hours, 10 Pokemon and 2 gym badges later, i still feel as in love with this game as much as when i was 10.

Now its time to beat Lt Surge and get this damn Squirtle

See you tomorrow
