Peyton Hillis On The Cover Of Madden!
-
Who gives a rats ass who is on the cover of a video game? What are you, 12 year olds?
What are you, 60. In this day an age video games are very mainstream and are as visible to the population as movies. Getting on the cover of video games now a days is almost like getting an award.

I am just short of 60, and I too don't give a rat's ass about who is on the cover of a video game.
Nevertheless, if it brings some deserving attention to a Browns player by those who do give a rat's ass who is on a video cover, so be it. It is fine with me.

Yep, you're 12.
12, 20 same thing.
although i feel the same way i know people older than me that love this shit, and i'm in my late 40's. it's not generational as i once thought.
i like the evolution of technology since pong (rhimes with bong, hmmmmmm
) my problem is i tried a couple of games and totally suck. i can't get used to the controllers, whatever happened to joysticks and guns? yes it is a form of entertainment for tons of people everywhere BUT funny thing is, i think if i were any good at it i would end up like the dude in that old anti-drug commercial where the mom is knocking on junior's door asking him if he looked for a job today and he pokes the joint and goes "tomorrow mom, tomorrow."
still ya gotta vote for a brown. count me in.

Hey man, video games have gone downhill since Space Invaders π₯·

I am 32, grew up with the 8 bit NES, then the SuperNES, then the NES 64, then grew up and got a job. When the f__k did a cover of a video game mean anything? Maybe if the country played the 'make some damn money game' my taxes wouldn't be so high.
Well I for one am not falling for the whole "I need to grow up and stop playing video games" thing. You can be an adult and play video game. I don't see any difference between playing a video game at night, as compared to staying up to watch a show or a movie, which I am sure plenty of "Adults" do.

I'm not trying to get you to fall for anything, HIB. You should get it on your own.
2 questions.
What will Hillis on the cover really mean to you or the Browns?
When was the last time your girlfriend/wife said 'lets stay home and play madden tonight'?
I have never in my life seen a well to do person (not their kids) play a video game. They focus on winning the game of life, not scoring virtual tds. At least if you watch real football you can have social interaction, instead of ignoring the world and learning nothing. Not telling you what to do.....just giving my opinion.

well he should have gotten recognition in other ways not just being (i hope) on the cover of a video game box. we've been back for some time now and have sucked so the laughing stock part of this is understandable by other teams' fans. hey, i now bust my best friend's balls about how bad the mets are.
the fact that there is a gap between people of different ages in their beliefs should not be of any surprise. i remember getting yelled at from neighbors for having our punk band practicing in our garage at all times of the day and night. and now being older i see the old "listen to what i say, i've been there" lecture come to fruition. doesn't mean name calling on either side should be tolerated. what if i called you a yound turd?
BTW no matter what i like or dislike about the younger generation doesn't mean you'll ever going to get me to listen to a Tiny Canadian Pussy Douche song.

FYI, my son is 20 and doesn't do much if any video games. We bought him some when he was younger and he played them for a while, but, when he was about 10-12 he announced that he thought they were pretty much a waste of his time and he would rather read...of course, this is a kid who is now doing his internship at Cornell...so, he dances to the beat of a different drum.
And though I may not listen to Tiny Canadian Pussy Douche, I AM down with this:
-
anyone know what the results are vs. Vick thus far?
i'll be damned if he gets ANOTHER madden cover.
-
And in regards to the person who said Hillis should be the comeback player of the year, how? He's only in his third year and he's never had a great year aside from this one, so i'm not sure what he's "coming back" from :s.
With that said, the whole UNCC soccer team voted for Hillis. I voted 3 times.
-
You can vote once a day, so vote on your phones and computers. Go to the library and use there computers and stores that the phones and computers that are capable. Let's get this coalition going!!!

Okay, okay. I voted for Petyton Hillis. Now I'm going to have some metamucil.

When has a wife said "Lets stay home and watch the game, show, movie, that you specifically want to watch. You can make the same argument that you just made for video games with TV and movies. What is the difference between spending two hours a night watching TV or two hours a night watching TV. There is none. You seem to be talking about the stereotype above 18 video game player. The guy who is in front of his TV with a controller in his hand half of the day who does nothing but eat Doritos and drink mt. dew and like most stereotypes it is a load of crap.
Plus you would be surprised the amount of women that I know who play video games. Girls that are going into medical and teaching careers that are better than me at most games. And trust me they aren't bad on the eyes either.
Also I sure as hell don't play Madden when the game is one. I'm screaming my head off with my roommates watching the Browns. Madden is to fill that bit of void in between games and the off-season.

HIB,
I guess we're different katz.........bought a new 42 inch tv 2 months ago.......haven't watched 3 hrs this week. Spend most of my time working, volunteering, rubbing shoulders and socially drinking with people that have more pull than I could dream of, hoping it rubs off. Can't imagine the reward of honing my madden skills. 3 years ago I got a honorary key to the city for volunteer work, looks like a gold card that gets me free shit here and there. More importantly it got me many opportunities I never would of had playing video games as an adult. Pull that card out during a job interview and see how their interest and conversation change. I'm not really a nice guy, but I put in the work. You people don't know what your missing. But its your life and you can do what you want so I will shut up now and go do something productive to fill my offseason time. Good luck to Hillis if he even gives a damn.

I'm deployed to Cuba, married and have done 6 years of active duty Navy. During that time I've gotten my Bachelors Degree in International Relations and am getting out of the service in September and going to Grad School. I guess my Madden habit didn't hurt me very much htownbrown. Smuck.
Awesome, good luck in grad school.

ok: i'll bite.
i guess a madden habit isn't as bad as some others you could have, but when do you have the time to play it if you are active duty and you are going to school?
International Relations? what does that mean, translator or waterboarder?
(BTW: you got your bachelor's degree and still don't know how to spell SCHMUCK?)
a lot of us had six years active duty before you were even a glimmer in your parents' eyes. doesn't make us better than any one else.

Maybe I will be the same way when I graduate college with my Special Education Degree, but I still see my self playing video games to some degree even when I'm teaching, coaching, and raising a family.

Well guys, i heard from a friend that there's a Mike Vick fan page on facebook with twice the number of "likes" as Hillis's. Also, they are using Google Chrome "Ghost" mode, apparently you can just vote over and over again.
It was a good run.
Alot of guys I have talked to that have been voting Hillis have been doing the same thing this whole time. Honestly I wouldn't underestimate the power of PETA. They probably have a whole paid staff right now doing the exact same thing.

Wow a lot of self-important a@@holes that are apparently "Browns" Fans. What does this have to do with playing video games and keys to cities? Last time I checked this was supposed to be about a Browns player getting national recognition outside of the slums of Cleveland. Who cares if you're 12 or 82, who here is such a perfect person that they can judge another human being? Oh wait, according to the Bible its a sin to judge another human being... Such a shame that something so positive brings out such negative things in people. I'm 40 years old not married with no kids (besides a cat and a dog) and I play video games quite a bit. Fire away, but i'll tell you this much, I could care less what anyone else thinks because no one has walked in my shoes and vice versa. I am who I am and the root of it is even against better judgement I still support this team through thick and thin. I vowed to never buy a Madden again, but if Hillis makes the cover i'll be first in line and will never sell or trade this copy in. This may be the ONLY opportunity we will see of a Cleveland sports player on the cover of anything major and mainstream.

I don't have google chrome; I have windows 7, and found out that InPrivate Browsing ( under safety toolbar or Ctrl+Shift+P ) will let me vote over and over. You have to close the window then open it again to vote. Hope this helps anyone. Hillis coalition is in full swing!

Unless they keep losing games with the bases loaded, one down, and the batter just watches 3 strikes go by. I'm not even an Indian's fan and that pissed me off last night.
