Sorry, it’s been quite a while since I’ve written on here. It’s been a pretty hectic couple of months, so I’ll just get right to it…

First things first, I went to Orlando for the NCAA Community Day and it was a blast. It was my first time ever at EA Tiburon studios and it was pretty cool. I mean, it’s just a big office, but it was still cool to see where the football games are actually made. Instead of going over the game in depth, I will just point everyone to all the blogs I wrote and the podcast I was interviewed for on my ConsoleSports.net site HERE .

About a month later, my cousin, Scott, was flown out to LA to attend a Madden/NCAA event, but they didn’t end up showing Madde. So, they ended up going to the ESPY’s instead. They went to the pre-party, the awards show, and the after party and lived it up like rock stars for a night. It sounded like a good time and I was a little bent that I couldn’t go live it up out there. Even though it was a great time for everyone, there was no content to post about Madden, so there were no updates on the site about it. Scott did end up going to Orlando to actually go see and play Madden in July, though, and you can read all about his trip HERE.

At the end of July, I was flown out to Vancouver to go check out NHL 08. While the actual day of the event was awesome, my traveling to and from was straight shit and an experience I will never forget. It included cancelled flights, lost luggage, and me pretty much boozing it up at the various airports I was in. But I did get to get on the ice with Nashville Predators defensemen Shea Weber and got to meet all the producers of the game. You can read all about that on ConsoleSports.net HERE .

Scott and I did our very first ConsoleSports.net podcast a couple weeks ago which you can check out on the site as well as we took part in a conference call with some of the designers and producers of NHL 2K8 yesterday. You can check out the two parts of the entire conference call HERE.

And that about does it for the quick updates. I will try and start updating the place a little more when I get a little more free time.
