Stare for 30 seconds, then look away.
Hey kiddos, just dropping a note that we're all out of the office today attending EA's annual summer something-or-other at their Redwood City headquarters. We'll hopefully hear John Riccitiello make bold proclamations, or watch some football players fast-roping out of a helicopter or something. I don't know. If it's interesting and/or stupid enough, there will be video! Oh yeah, we'll see a bunch of games too (fingers crossed for Celebrity Sports Showdown). Expect to hear more about all this tomorrow.

Mr. Caravella has provided a hard-hitting Madden video of some sort to tide you over. I haven't watched this, I hope it's good.

  


You can also keep abreast of what we're seeing and doing today, maybe, I hope, with our handy-dandy Twitter feed. Assuming this stupid Flash module actually works. Does it?




Hmm, I guess that doesn't look great, but it'll have to do. Gotta run. As you were!

Super informative video on the new madden guys! Coming from someone who also knows nothing about football, and has never played a madden game,  from the info you guys gave I can definitely say that without a shadow of a doubt I will totally consider... thinking about.... possibly recommending this game to dudes that dig madden..........right?

Ninety dollars!!
