The Super Bowl sucked: NFL 2K1 doesn't

-

Millions of Americans every year watch the Super Bowl. I ain't one of them anymore.

I used to be big into football; I was a Broncos fan. Now, I passively watch. If my dad is watching, I might catch a glimpse on the TV from time to time.

I ain't sitting down for a full game. I've mentioned on the blog before about how I have a gig to record high school football down here in Texas. Football is a big deal down here. That's enough football for me. 

But there is one football game I had to mention since the Super Bowl was this past Sunday.

NFL2K1 on the Dreamcast.

The Dreamcast

This is a spur of the moment post-just had some Steel Reserve and was feeling in the posting mood-but anyways, let me get this out the way, the Dreamcast was one loud ass machine. 

Or was it just mine?

I haven't owned one in years; but, I remember it sounding like a jet engine. Technically, I believe it was the most powerful console upon release at the time. True powerhouse with internet capabilities? What? Revolutionary.

He was from the commercial. I think..

The Dreamcast never could quite catch on. Instead, Playstation and N64 were ruling the console wars. Dreamcast faded into the abyss taking Sonic with it. Almost at least. 

2K series

2K has always done sports video games correctly. NFL 2K1 versus Madded 01 is no comparison. Graphically, controls and overall gameplay is superior on 2K1.

Unfortunately, there are no 2K1 tournaments happening currently unlike Madden.

At the time, 2000, Madden had serious competition. It's obvious, but I was choosing 2K. The Dreamcast failed, but the 2K series continued until 2005 with its final release being ESPN NFL 2K5.

What I remember

I remember having to put headphones in to drown out that loud ass machine while I played 2K. I remember being the Denver Bronco's GM deciding on how much to charge for the New England clam chowder and what seat prices should be.

Yeah. I drafted too.

I guess I was weird for doing it, or just a bored as Hell 13-year-old with limited options on what to do in the game. Either play exhibition matches forever or put effort into making my team the greatest franchise of all time. While also making tons of money selling merchandise and hot dogs.

Overall

I highly suggest you play this game. Get a Dreamcast, get NFL 2K1, get a few Millers, get clam chowder (never had it but I sold it), and have a good time with a solid football game. 


Enjoy your drinks and game on.

Three Solo RPG Resources

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game ...

How to make Brass Monkey (My Way for 2019)

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to ...

Adrinkinhandgaming's Christmas Wish List 2019

Christmas is upon us once again and let me be the first to say, "this sucks." But Anthony how could you say such a thing? (If you follow me on Twitter, then you would know my name is Anthony and also you should follow me on Twitter .) Anyway, back to what I was saying about Christmas sucking. It doesn't suck unless you're like 10 and don't have to buy people's gifts. I'm terrible at buying gifts if they are not for me. This is who I am as a person and will not apologize for my flaws. The holidays give me anxiety because I never know what to get friends and family. Even if I figured out the perfect gift, I probably wouldn't have the money to buy it, anyway. So, I'll stick to what I know and that's what I want for Christmas. I have compiled a list of ideas for gamers, whether for yourself or someone else. Hopefully, we have similar tastes because if not you won't find this list useful. Regardless, read the list and maybe some...
