It's been quite awhile since our last post, but we haven't forgotten about you. Things have been a little busy on both our ends and we apologize for the lack of post. So, let's get you updated on what's been going on.
I recently got a new job teaching and if you've been watching the news in Chicago you know what been going on with that. I would like to give my opinion of the story, but that will have to wait for now. There has been a new addition to my family: my older sister just had a baby girl and she is incredible.
Now while I have been busy working in a school, Fandad Gil is busy himself with school. He is also going into the teaching profession, so who knows, maybe this will become a blog about being dads/teachers who are into comics, video games and movies, but I could be jumping the gun here. As busy as we both are, we still are coming up with ideas to improve the site and build a community here with all you other Fandads out there.
Once place we have been active on is our Facebook page. Have you liked our page lately? Recently we gave away a copy of Madden 13 for the 360 and will be coming up with more contest on there soon. So keep checking our status updates, because you never know when a contest will pop up. Also, I'm serious about having a group of Fandads run the Warrior Dash together next year. I'm looking into pricing to make a shirt that we can all wear while doing the dash.
I recently signed up for Loot Crate, which I'm pretty excited about, so be on the look out for a post on that as soon as my crate comes in. I'm trying to work out something with them also, so if anything happens, we'll let you know. I also have been talking to other interesting companies and trying to get some cool stuff going on for our readers. Who knows what we'll giveaway next?
Lastly, we want to thank all of you who are active on the Facebook page and support us here on this page. We really want to build a community with other like-minded dads and make this thing bigger than a website and facebook page.
Again, thank you for your support and we'll see you soon,
Victor & Gil

My mind has been blown.
"But it’s the gameplay that’s really changed. First, you’re asked to don a headset, almost as if you’re playing Modern Warfare 2. It’s unsettling and weird, at first. But then you get it. You’re the quarterback and what’s coming through the headset is similar to what comes through the helmet of, say, Jets phenom Mark Sanchez. The offensive coordinator is suggesting a play given the situation on the field."
Wow! I don't think I've been this excited about a Madden game for a long time. Do yourself a favor and read the article and then come on back!
See! What did I tell you? It sounds sweet, the team getting off the bus, (off the bus running if you're the Bears according to Lovie) and the stadium progressively getting filled. *drools*
Madden is one of those games that has a special place in my heart, and my wallet. Yes, I am one of those suckers that gets it every year, regardless of how much I've been warned. Some years it has failed, but it's Madden, you have to get it. I mean, Madden day should be a holiday, for reals. Surprisingly I can't find any examples of them at the moment, but some of the ads for Madden Day have been awesome. If I remember correctly some were about missing husbands/boyfriends and people missing work, heh.
It's not only that I'm a huge football fan, but I've got a lot of history with Madden. In high school we'd all would rush to my cousin's house after school or practice to get some games of Madden in. Everyone had their teams, I had the Bears, my cousin was always Detroit, and we had friends who were the Falcons, Eagles, Broncos, Raiders, and Buffalo. We'd have tons of people playing at my cousin's house and it was always a blast.
In later years it became a staple of Sunday mornings. Everyone would watch football at another cousin's house and most of us would get there a bit early and play Madden before the weekly NFL games. Some of these contests would get amazingly heated, I remember one game where one of our friends demanded a rematch and anted up a hundred dollar bet. Playing two on two was especially interesting. "What the hell are you doing!" "Noooooo!" "Mother#$%!$@!"
During the holidays we'd play a tournament to see who would be the family champ. I even got a trophy made one year, the magnificent "Hoyne Street Cup". (It's like six inches tall, heh) In the last couple of years we haven't been playing as much, this past year I think we busted out the Magic cards but that's a whole other story. That being said, if Madden 11 lives up to the hype, I think Thanksgiving and Christmas just got a little bit more interesting.
Madden 11 is set to release on August 10th for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PSP.
