The Playground Big Brother, Madden 12 No Comments
Madden 12……It’s On!
Last month, I wrote about Madden 12 and how the NFL lockout would impact the release of this year’s game (read it here).
No, this won’t be yet another story on the NFL lockout, because over the last several months I know we’ve all gotten more than tired of reading about it. This is much more important….with the announcement earlier this week that the lockout is now over, Madden 12 is back on! The most recent announced date I’m seeing is Madden will become available August 30th this year, which is a little later than usual, but still not bad considering the work that Madden maker EA will have to put in to release the title.
I do have to say, in the world of receiving software updates over the internet, this fairly quick release date is much more manageable. With teams not signing recent draftees and free agents until now, it would be nearly impossible for those events to happen AND for EA to get rosters updated, etc in time for the release. With today’s technology, and being able to receive roster updates via the internet, us Madden lovers can get the game we’ve been waiting for since…..well, last August!
Big Brother – What are they Thinking??
Last week, when Jordan and Jeff had control of the house, and ultimately had a chance to back-door Brendon and Rachel at the veto ceremony, they should have! It was the perfect chance to get rid of the duo that ultimately is their biggest competition. However, they felt it was too early in the game to go against their alliance. Partially true, but still may be the only chance they get.
Of course, Rachel won the last HoH, and now she and Brendon have the chance to do exactly what could have been done to them. There was a luxury competition, with Jordan winning the chance to take 3 other houseguests to the viewing of a new show on CBS (Same Name, CBS, 9pm/8pm CT). Of course she picked Jeff, and then picked Kalia and Shelly?!?! What are you thinking, Jordan? Rachel already won the HoH, and of course she’s going to get upset that you didn’t pick her and Brendon.
Of course, what does this lead to, Rachel getting upset and then arguing with Brendon, like they always do. And, of course, this led to the other houseguests trying to convince Rachel to back-door Jeff and Jordan at the veto ceremony. She nominated Adam and Dominic for eviction, and the veto competition will be tomorrow night. If Rachel and Brendon or Adam and Dominic win the veto competition, I fully expect that Rachel will back-door Jordan and Jeff….which means Jordan and Jeff HAVE to win the veto competition. Yes, if you can’t already tell, I’m pulling for Jeff and Jordan to win it all!!
