Would you try and substitute mendenhall for hillis in the original trade??

If he would take it, that is an even better deal for you (then you get MJD + Hillis + S Johnson + Jennings + Bradshaw)

OK, I'm going to try and substitute Mendenhall for Hillis. If that's a no, I'll offer Chicago + Moreno for S. Johnson. I think both of those are home runs. Of course, I need S. Johnson to play well and Moreno to play terrible to feel good about it. :D

I think Denver will start Tebow at some point (making life hell for Moreno). I have Orton as my number 2 QB and tried to trade him for this reason (Rivers is my #1)rawsavon
Good point about Tebow. I heard that mentioned as well. YUCK.

Did not know it was a PPR league. I would still try and do what I said (get rid of RB's you won't use for a good WR) Hell, even trade Chicago D + Moreno + Torrian for Johnson. All that matters is making your team the best possible for the playoffsrawsavon
Interesting idea, so would you do the original trade or the one you proposed above? I think it really depends how you balue Jones-Drew vs. Hillis. Tough call.

One more thing to note, Moreno has been hot the last three weeks and has an EASY playoff schedule. I know he wouldn't take Torrain btw.

Our league manager made the trade deadline at the end of the regular season. It's very close IMO too. Blount has an EASY playoff schedule, but I probably wouldn't start him. Steve Johnson definitely upgrades my offense.

Just FYI, it's a PPR league so Davone Bess and Mike Thomas haven't been that bad for me this year. I'm about 75% inclined to make the trade because I don't need the Chicago defense. I would start GB anyway unless I have it to the second round of the playoffs when they play New England.

Here is my team (12-team league):

QB: Michael Vick, Sam Bradford

RB: Peyton Hillis, Rashard Mendenhall, Knowshon Moreno, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Ryan Torrain

WR: Greg Jennings, Johnny Knox, Davone Bess, Mike Thomas, Lance Moore

TE: Jacob Tamme

K: Dan Carpenter, Neil Rackers

DEF: Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears

Here is the trade offered me:

I get: Maurice Jones-Drew, Steve Johnson, LeGarrette Blount

He gets: Chicago Bears, Peyton Hillis, and Knowshon Moreno

Thoughts? I believe I already have my answer, but I wanted a few other opinions without sharing mine just yet.

This thread is stupid. Expectations, hype, or whatever you want to call it have existed since the Mayflower sailed across the ocean expecting the spoils of discovering a new land. What did they get? A lot of dead people at the hands of cold weather, Indians, etc.

TC, how about this? DON'T pay attention to hype i.e. read previews, visit forums, watch advertisements. Otherwise I guess you will just always be dissapointed.

End of thread.

[QUOTE="Artof_War"][QUOTE="Gxgear"]

I think Vanquish is worth the full price, and it's good to support good games rather than always going for the high profile games for a change.

And so the scales tip the other way.... Hmmm. I'm definiitely for supporting great games. But I got Valkyria Chronicles for $19.99 and still felt like I supported them. Maybe someone can just buy it for me and ship it my way!

If I had the extra cashish, I would do that for ya... Simply because I think we SHOULD do random acts of kindness around these forums to show each other we honestly do care for one another in the community...

... I've asked this before, myself.

:D

Tom McShea and some of the rest of the geeks who've touted this game as the Second Coming of Fun sort of disuade me a bit on "Vanquish"... I'm starting to dislike the title because of McShea's love - The guy makes my skin crawl lately with his platformer worship and his BS attitude. Justin Calvert uber-alles (his love for the game pushes back the darkness that is Tom McShea).

Seriously, next time McShea is on the Hotspot podcast, someone just lean over and belt him one in the lickin' hole, y'know, for the Common Good...

... but I also wanted to comment on the sentiment of supporting a studio or a dev who's done a good job (which, by all reviews, the makers of "Vanquish" have done) - We should always buy games from devs or genres we enjoy while the numbers make a difference. I'm the king of waiting out a price drop around here, to the point of being called "Cheap"... I prefer "Frugal", of course, but anyway... We should always show our love. It's the only way these guys and gals have a chance at doing something we like again, and they need the dollar vote ASAP in order to secure that position.

Support Your Local Game Devs! Buy a new game today!

(Soapbox Kicked To The Side)

Not to go OT, but where was that copy of "James Bond Blood Stone" purchased for $19? I want that game and $20 sounds good to me... being the "Cheap" guy...

:lol:

Cheers to random acts of kindness. Buying games is all supply and demand. Everyone has their own demand curve! Sometimes I seek others to tilt it one way or the other though. Right now I'm still going to hold out on Vanquish, only because I'm playing OF: DR and ModNation Racers at the moment. Those should keep me busy enough.
