Hi, I do believe this really is a great weblog. I stumbledupon it I’ll revisit once again since i have saved as a favorite it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help other people.
Am I the only one that really wants to try GummiBear Soda now?
Hey Joe, great game and awesome video, took a while but saw it all, kudos to Sidestrafe for the names, when are the other matches?
Also I have a question, how do you record your games like that, I have tried to record some matches on XCOM and other games with my friends but they never come out, or they are downright black, and your quality looks amazing!
i think he uses fraps for vid recording, the editing im not sure to even say it.

Great game. Next up you’re going to be going against Dodger which shouldn’t be to bad. She’s a pretty much “meh” player but she’s been practicing like crazy and already has two wins under her belt. No doubt she’s put in major hours into this game already so be ready. Remember, her Dodge makes her incredibly annoying and will prove problems when she tries to make her offensive so try and start out with the ball and shore up your defenses. Oh and I really enjoyed the Facecam and didn’t even care about the player stats. People have been complaining about it covering the stats though, so I suggest putting it by the combat log, in that little place where the writing doesn’t go. As for Zombie Names I really cant think of anything besides some terrible puns. XD
great game Joe i would like to suggest zombie names from a song of ice and fire game of thrones
-JON SNOW(Lord snow) the watcher
-Shae the funny whore
-half man Tyrion
-Arya stark the horseface
-Jaken hagar the faceless
-Davos no fingers
As always great game Joe, good luck with Dodger. She has gotten quite good and wiped the floor with bebop Vox, it was brutal!
As for zombie names, I would suggest naming them all after MJ songs, like:
-Smooth Criminal
-Billie Jean
-Stranger in Moscow
-Rockin’ Robin
-Man in the Mirror
etc.
Zombie names (Most of these are twisted song names by different artists)
Living Dead Beat
Am I Dead Yet?
Trashed, Killed and Strangled
A few Dead Limbs
Sweet Corpse O’Mine
Ain’t it Dead
Beaten Billie (Jean)
Killed by Death
I Ain’t No Nice Guy
Nice Dead Guy Eddie
Necrofiliac Fantasia
I Want My Brains Back
Dead Mr. President
Keep Yourself Alive
Not Severely Dead/Slightly Dead
Here I Die Again
Brains in the Jar
Wounded and Withdrawn
Would I Die on You
I actually forgot Your Hollywood theme, but a few of those names actually aren’t terrible (I think).
I cannot believe i did not think of
(Naked) Zombie Sean Connery.
Or
Judge D(r)ead
Hey Joe, I know you already know about Blood Bowl 2, but it seems to have gotten even “officialer” now with recent updates on Focus Interactives Twitter and Facebook pages.
WOW, sidestrafe suffers from major analysis paralysis. He let the timer burn down on at least 3 or 4 turns without doing what he wanted to do on the field because he was “considering all the options”. Thank God there is a play timer because that game would have been 6 hours long if there wasn’t one.
Good play Joe. I still would have used my remaining turns to beat the snot out of his guys though. Even if you are winning there is absolutely no downside to hammering his men with 2 die advantage attacks until the buzzer.
I think SideStrafe is doing well considering how new he is to the game. I really enjoyed the watching match.
*spoiler warning*
Sidestrafe could’ve handed the ball off at a 50% chance of success and ran the guy in. He kept saying that it was a huge negative because he was thinking about launching it down the field. Joe dodged a big bullet there.
So big a bullet, infact, that it almost made the entire rest of the game irrelevant.
Lovely game, enjoyed all 2 and so hours of it
Just one thing – you keep wondering why your players aren’t assisting. A player cannot assist the attack on PLAYER A if he is in PLAYER B’s tackle zone. For example – at 2:05:30 your zombie isn’t assisting your Werewolf, because he is in the tackle zone of the player diagonally above him. If he moved 1 square closer to the side line, he would be able to assist.
My god, Sidestrafe really does take forever when it’s his turn, probably for the best against a vet player.
How about these zombie names…
Abraham Lincoln
Bruce Lee
Al Capone
Zombie Rob Zombie
Future You
Michael Myers
Jason
Now, this is much better on the tactics/strategy front than the previous three games. Also a lot easier on the ears than the previous match.
As for secrets… Joe, why don’t you tell us when are you gonna marry Amanda? I was pretty confident you two had something going on during the autumn, seeing how you were well fed and smiling in the September and October reviews, but it turns out that was just my imagination.
Ow, and don’t use the grid with the yellow crosses, it actually reduces the visibility.
On the matter of zombies

Fun game, i have one comment though. At least four times in the match (at 1:24-1:25, 1:41 & 2:05) Joe chose defender stumbled over defender down. With defender down you have a much better chance of actually seriously hurting people, so why choose defender stumbles? Must be the nerves i guess
Did Angry Joe have 12 players on the pitch? Is that some kind of bug?
He could’a scored @ the end if he handed the ball off… i believe thats what joe was worried about…
Also an invisible orc was beating on the guy joe kicked out of bounds…
Also i dont think the game will let you rename your zombies after the first match…
Spoiler warning!
Why didn’t Sidestrafe just hand over the ball on the last turn before he ran to the end-zone?
I kind of wondered that, but I’m pretty sure that would have given Joe an interception opportunity, and the interception roll might have been more risky than the dodge roll. Either that, or he just couldn’t think with the pressure.
Grats. You are 3 points closer to the playoffs and tied with Sidestrafe, I have both of you picked to make it to the playoffs, so don’t disappoint. Speaking of Sidestrafe, I have a question I would like answered. Since he didn’t actually compete last week, he shouldn’t have had any SPP or winnings, but he did receive something. Was there an exhibition game I missed where he was able to grind out some points? Speaking of, you kind of got screwed there, earning 8 points for the game. Should have beaten on his guys since he was able to get off 6 or 8 points for injuries, plus a MVP. Sometimes you just got to harvest a Little Sister. It leads to owning a city with a nuke.
Well, because he had to forefit Sidestrafe ended up getting 2 Touchdowns, and some MVP points. I know that this was supposed to happen but I’m not sure what they did. But yea, don’t worry about it.
Zombie Names.

love’n dem secrets Joe, and Im already looking forward to the next installment of the AJ Hollywood horrors.
Keep ‘em coming Joe. And don’t forget to post who’s gonna be your next victim.
Nice game, but I don’t think it was a big challenge for you Angry Joe. Sidestrafe was way to careful, Like making a cage in his part of field when your on offensive side was just a baaaaad decision. Specially with your side line down.
Good luck in other games.
You should post some kind of chart to tell us where is where in your championship.
Enjoy.
