Day 4 has arrived, and things are pretty much the same – I still feel like crap and I am still popping pain pills. I called the doctor’s office this morning to ask if my symptoms were normal; to be honest, I really do not know what to expect with this type of surgery. The nurse laughed when I told her that I wanted to go into the office today. She said that is not going to happen for several more days; not sure how to break that news to my boss. Oh well, moving on to some points to ponder.
Non UGA fans will not understand the enormity of the situation with Larry Munson, but apparently his health is so bad that he is considering not announcing Dawgs games this fall. At the very least, he may only announce for home games. That would be a travesty. The man has called Georgia games for longer than I have been alive, but I guess all good things must eventually end. Of course, I wish Mr. Munson nothing but the best!
I ranted a little about EA Sports’ NASCAR 08 yesterday, and I am about to go off on their Madden and NCAA Football games. I do not have a TV in the bedroom, which is where I have been camped out this week. This means that I do not have a whole lot else to do besides read, play the occasional PSP game, listen to ESPN radio, and sleep. In other words I have plenty of time to snoop on the upcoming NCAA Football and Madden releases. From what I can tell, Madden is not going to have major improvements over last year’s PS3/360 versions, and NCAA Football looks to be nothing more than a graphics upgrade over the previous PS2 release.
I know these yearly releases are too much of a cash cow for EA to not offer a new version each year. At some point I assume gamers stop buying Madden each year; I know I did three or four years ago. The problem I have is that EA could take the proper effort to get a new (and vastly improved) game out every other year, and charge gamers a small fee for roster upgrades, new schedules, etc. I guess the pain pills are working against me because this is a crazy idea, and I am sure I will end up getting Madden and NCAA Football just to see what they have to offer on the PS3. I am such sell out, and a whore to boot.
More rants later. Maybe. Not sure if that is a threat or a promise.
