Detroit Lions campaign in Football Mogul, part 4

My fans (gauged by the game's fan loyalty index) are happier with the team now that we've shown a propensity not to suck (frequent Stafford picks notwithstanding). We all know what that means. Higher ticket prices. … [Continue reading]

Madden 2010 Campaign, Part 3

In a normal season, an undefeated start would be cause for celebration.  However, a closer look at the Buffalo Bills defensive statistics reveals a troubling trend developing.  The Bills, while 2-0, are currently ranked 31st in the NFL in passing … [Continue reading]

Detroit Lions campaign in Football Mogul, part 3

Mike Stafford is not progressing as well as I'd hoped. He's got two seasons under his belt, solid receivers, and a line that's giving him a little time in the pocket. My scouts say his abilities have shown only marginal improvement. This is bad … [Continue reading]

Byzantine Empire in Europa Universalis, part 5

It's difficult to explain to your 15th century kingdom what a crash to desktop error is. Needless to say, they learned a little French as we deja-vu-ed ourselves into Mamluk territory again. Things didn't go quite as well this time. … [Continue reading]

Detroit Lions campaign in Football Mogul, part 1

Madden 2010 Campaign, Part 2

Degenerate gamblers, still smoldering from the week 1 dismantling of the heavily favored Patriots, conspire to make the Bills 8 point favorites against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Tampa is visiting Ralph Wilson stadium for the first time in history, … [Continue reading]

McAwesome as Eric Mangini on SBR Radio

I will be on on Jeckles' Shitty Blog Radio show as Eric Mangini to discuss all things Mangini-related. The show. … [Continue reading]

Byzantine Empire in Europa Universalis, part 3

Fresh off a (lucky) stomping of the Ottoman Empire, "Just barely!" became our new battlecry. Once my new territories had stabilized, I considered the future. The Portuguese cowardice really spoke to me. I could fight a costly succession of wars … [Continue reading]
