    I'm sure everyone had to agree for use of their likeness, but I really can't imagine playing a boxing game with the current President as a fighter and it being OK'd by him as well. Not to mention the inclusion of the First Lady.

    What other games can you guys think of that most likely would not be made today?
    reminds me of the unlockable characters from NBA Jam TE on PC, including Clinton and Booboo the bear, I'd love to find a full listing of characters, even though none could outshoot Dana Barros

      Re: Off-Topic

      Just reading a few stories on here. I can relate. I had something rather disturbing happen to me last night. It was about 2:30 in the morning, I'm laying there reading a Slam magazine when I hear my doorbell. I'm startled off the bat and I'm thinking this can't be good.

      Turn on the porchlight and open up the blinds, theres a pretty cute girl standing there with tears in her eyes. She tells me. "I need to use a phone" I feel for her but something ain't right.

      I tell her ok one second. I leave for about 15 seconds come back and she's gone. I look out and she's in the neighbor across the streets driveway. But there's a big guy with her. "He wasn't there before" I grab my knife and I call 911 fearing for my neighbors. This is obviously not good.

      Police tell me they've already had multiple calls from this area regarding this same encounter.

      Fortunately none of the neighbors opened their doors. But I'm pretty sure that guy and girl disappeared before the cops could find them. Because they kind of just disappeared in the darkness.

      So yes. I'm pretty damn sure she didn't just need to use a phone. I don't know exactly what was going on, but I imagine it not being good if I opened that door.

        Man, that is some scary ****. I had an experience years ago when it was Hurricane Frances or Jeanne here. We were boarded up, ready to go and got a knock at the door. It was some dude on a bicycle, just a random dude.


        He told my dad he had nowhere to go due to the storm and asked if he could hunker down with us. Not a neighbor or a friend/coworker, just a random dude on a bike. Thankfully dad shooed him away and I have no idea if he was going down the street knocking on doors.


        Turns out after the storm, dad talked to a cop friend he knew and said he was told



        "Be very glad you didn't let that guy in"


        He asked why, but that was all he was told/could say. Never did find out what it was, but it gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

          Does anyone still post on the forums using a laptop and not their phone?

          It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                        I couldn't imagine making the posts that I make on a phone.

                        The reason I sometimes type so much is I'm typing about as fast as I think, heh (I'm one of those 110+ WPM folk). I'm hosting a soliloquy whose new thoughts spring from older thoughts poured out into typed words.

                        I find it a burden to post from my phone, whether flip or Smart.

                            these days I do the majority of my OSing from my PS4. sucks for stuff like linking OS to something else that interest me, or posting pictures and images, but works well enough for regular posting.
