Pencilneck, this is your last chance!: Tired of having sand kicked in your virtual face? We all are. Why not do something about it? Stop sitting around waiting for your franchise to catch fire. Get off your butt and sit on the couch with the Virtual Madden Playbook. Based on the user testimonials, it's $27 well spent.
Sign me up ASAP, Bert! I want to make this season of Madden Football my most competitive ever! Seriously, how much more could be in the book? The ad weighs in at almost 4000 words.

Making people read to play video games better. I feel like I am in a backwards bizzaro world. Isn't the whole point of video games to avoid reading?????????

Hey, Fraze? How much is a web page signed by Bert Ingley worth?

I feel like I am in a backwards bizzaro world So...wouldn't that mean that things are back to normal? I been playing Madden football since it first came out for the Sega Genesis game console and even now with Madden 08' for the 360 and I can tell you, I haven't even read the manual that comes with the game let alone read a book about how to play better. The game can get very competitive and I even entered the Madden Challenge on a few occasions but regardless, these games are made to have fun.

Believe it is Vince Young. Hope he does well, he is my son's favorite player. Had a great season last year after he settled down a bit.

Looking at the pictures, I guess you have to be in really good shape to stay competitive at Madden '08. But then, Reality Wynn is a Madden Challenge Champion -- I mean, it's crazy to think about even going in there.

It would be interesting to hear if the content inside is actually useful from someone* who has bought the playbook. *Other than the charming individuals who have given their testimonials.

My job sucks. I really admire people who can make a living doing stuff like that.

I think it's awesome that there are new and creative ways to make gamers geekier than they already are. I also believe that fantasy sports are modified versions of Dungeons and Dragons. Of course, this is coming from a guy with my user name.

THX-1138 Your name is no geekier than a mynock chewing through a power cable. And can the D&D hate, you scruffy looking nerf herder.

And can the D&D hate, you scruffy looking nerf herder Oh no, I'm not hatin'. I'm just sayin'. And if any others here know what you are you're referencing, HATER, you too, my friend, are geeks. Second Life is sorta like D&D without the dice, less wizards, and PROBABLY not as much acne. (clears throat) Ahem...How 'bout them Bears?

You can beat them with a vorpal sword easy. No need for any special rolls.

"If you don't get your copy today, then you are putting yourself at a serious competitive disadvantage . . . While you are at work or school, dating actual, real girls, there will be tons of players prepping in the lab and waiting to spank your butt as soon as you get online." Fixed.

"I'm so wet right now." I could've sworn it was in swim class that I heard that.
