EA Sports Ruined This Post

I should have known this was going to happen. Yesteday walking into GameStop I had the same feeling in my stomach that I imagine the Jews had in 1945 walking into a building with no windows. I wasn't necessarily sure what was going to happen - but I knew it would put a serious strain on my productivity. Of course I realize that only children under the age of 14 shop at GameStop but I was trolling for girls and I figured I'd stop in and pick up my copy of NCAA Football 08 while waiting for the waitress shift change at Red Robin.

You remember those early 90's SNL skits for Bad Idea Jeans - well that was a classic bad idea jeans moment. Since I first fired up the X Box 360 this game has replaced the countdown until Hayden Panetierre's birthday as the dominant thought in my brain. Even as I am writing this that stupid game is taunting me - telling me to just play a half, just one game - nobody will get hurt. It's like I'm Bobby Brown and the X Box is a crack pipe. I can't shake it.

I thought about giving a full review of the game for this site - but nobody reads those reviews, they all suck. Unless of course you write a blog dedicated to reviewing video games because I'm sure that yours is the exception to the rule. No seriously you're a talented writer put down the kitchen knife.

Does my infatuation with a video game make me some kind of queer? (meant in the derogatory sense - not in the anal sex sense). Maybe it does, but at least I'm man enough to admit that I have enjoyed the shit out of that game since I got it. Hell if it wasn't Stripper Thursday in my slice of the universe I'd probably spend the night with my pants down playing Ohio State versus Michigan until I needed a shower.

Listen to me this post should be taken as a warning. If you purchase NCAA Football 08 there is a good chance that your significant other will leave you (unless your significant other is a dude, then he'll probably ----- himself). That's my review of the game and they should put it on the box - if you buy this game you will lose all contact with humanity you sissy.

But it's all foreshadowing because when college football season comes around you'll all bear witness to the Carnival versus the computer where we (or maybe just those of us with gambling problems) pick football games against the computer to see who is superior. It's the classic story of man versus machine only the man is a collective of warped sports writers and the machine is my X Box 360. Either way at least it will give me something to write about when all I can think about is - what the hell was Hayden's birthday again?

One final note for those of you who have already been sucked into the grips of NCAA 08 - if you're on XBox Live you can find me at jdroche. Good talk - see you out there.
