I think this game was made just so we could make a thread.. We'll find out that the game's release was just a conspiricy and it doesn't even exist. Daivd Witner doesn't exist. It was all just a set up to get the most hilarious thread ever.

OK. That means our whole solar system could be like, one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being. This is too much! That means one little tiny atom in my finger nail could be...one little tiny universe.

LOL. I feel the same way. We need a Maximum Football thread liason. Someone we can ask questions of and get answers from. A Maximum Football primelord, if you will.

You guys make me wish I had even an inkling of skill with PhotoShop or whatever it is you use to do this kind of stuff. The Dali POM piece is great, CW!

To get back on topic . . . this is from the online etymology dictionary, http://www.etymonline.com

hubris
1884, from Gk. hybris "wanton violence, insolence, outrage," originally "presumption toward the gods," of unknown origin.

dola--it fits with the sense that I got when I took my Greek Myths class--hubris was a special kind of pride/arrogance that involved challenging the gods. It was not mere bravado--it was a specific kind of bravado reserved for challenges to gods. Saying that you are the best lover on the planet is not hubris. Saying that you are a better lover than Venus--that is hubris.

And hubris is a bad thing that is almost always punished.

In English, since we no longer believe in the gods (and don't have much of a problem tearing down the Gods in whom we still beleive), the term has come to mean arrogance that leads to its own punishment.

All joking aside, this is just a mind boggling decision.

Forget customization, onside kicks play an important role in football on almost any level. How can you possibly make a game without it, especially one that is supposed to have it all.

Good Lord. . .

Not when you take into account we're dealing with a guy who has made design decisions (assuming for a moment the game actually exists) in a half-assed manner every step of the way. I've seen code written like this. Hell, I've written code like this. Hedge in places, use the old "oh fuckit, I can always add that later, and I don't really wanna bother anyway" excuse.

It's absurd that anyone expects this to be anything but a debacle if it ever gets released.
