    NFL Draft

    Free agency and salary caps are there for 2 totally seperate reasons. Drafting youngsters out of college is how the sports get new player, and new stars otherwise we would be still cheering on 50 yr old men out there. Free agency is how the stars get moved around to balance things out and make...

    NFL Draft

    Our Vikes got #3 and im afraid there going to waste it, now I cant say we have never gotten anything out the draft recently, (Adrian Peterson, and Randy moss a decade ago) but other than that Vikings have made bad choices in their drafts. This year I hope we use our pick on a good lineman...

    Kreta Review

    Kreta Review

    Kreta Review

    I could try, but since its not my job as a customer to design my own games i rely on others, and almost all the time im more than satisfied with the jobs done by designers. But i will continue to do my job as a customer and buy games i like and think are worth it, sorry for not being a mindless...

    Kreta Review

    linked scenarios vs. real CG :mad: this sucks and always will, if it becomes the standard good luck with sales. I own this module, but after seeing that it doesnt have a real CG, it wont get played and only serves to satisfy the completist in me.
