    It was bound to happen...

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                      Thank you Sega for allowing VC to push the envelope and also realizing that it was time to move VC to higher heights by selling them to a very aggressive company!

                              This aggressiveness could also back-fire big time for VC & us, if the games don't sell well.

                                      They will sell well. The only question is will they make a football title. Baseball is a great SIM experience online. I expect them to push that hard. Maybe they will make a College Football game now...who knows. What we can count on is them rivaling EA. And the GTA muscle can always open doors too!
