Well, heres my first and probably last blog. Its pretty much an extended about me...thing.

Born and raised in Australia. Discovered this website/forum by searching for hints and tips for madden 10 on google. Die hard Manchester United fan but recently stopped following the english premier league. That was due to one fateful day down the street at Big W (large department store owned by Woolworths, kinda like Walmart or Kmart but without the guns and ammo).

While browsing the PS3 games collection, I stumbled upon a game called Madden 09. I instantly knew who the cover player was (mainly due to the movie cameo in There's Something About Mary) and decided that even though I have played other football games before and sucked so badly, (there was one game on Windows 95 that had Jerry Rice playing for the 49ers) I would give this game a real go.

I was hooked. Every day I played that game. All the way up until Madden 10 came out. Then I gave it away to a mate. I wasnt just hooked on the video game itself, but got interested about the real game (at that point in time, the Ravens were playing the Steelers and the Cardinals were playing the Eagles).

My first ever play now game on Madden 09 was me as the Colts and the cpu as the Dolphins...on rookie. Pathetic I know.

Since that first game I've been a fan of the Colts. I have two custom colt shirts and a custom Colts hoodie jumper. And soon will have a Peyton Manning jersey which i will be getting for my birthday.

I also go for the Jets but only since this season. I like Rex Ryan and what he has brought to that team. I find him almost Australian in that he speaks his mind without worrying about what other people think of him. I dont consider myself a homer due to not actually living in the US.

So thats my story, if you liked it, cool.
