Getting time in with NFL Tour
I have arrived in New York for the NFL Tour event where I'll have the opportunity to get some hands-on time with the game, discussion with producer Phil Frazier, and a chance to chat with Trey Wingo who does the commentary for the game. While I'm out here the site will continue to be updated though it may come more in bunches than at different times throughout the day. Look for my initial impressions of the game to come by early Monday morning although I may have something sooner than tha...

Recap of conference call with EA Sports President Peter Moore
Earlier today I was able to take part in an hour long conference call with Peter Moore of EA Sports.

The overall theme of the call could be summed up with the importance that EA places on the community. Just having this take place is a sign of that, but it was reiterated throughout. Moore discussed how he takes it very seriously and likes bei...

Pastapadre.com welcomes a new addition
I would like to announce a new addition to the site! Over the last several weeks the most common suggestion I received was to add a forum. Well now the pastapadre forum is up and running! **Picture above represents actual age of many forum posters** Please consider that the forum is still a work in progress. For example you'll see there is no unique skin for it yet. But I figured I would roll it out now anyway. Feel free to register and start posting! The forum will always be more of a supp...

Madden Community Event set for August 9th
The Madden 08 Community Event will officially take place August 8-10th at the Tiburon studio in Orlando. The time with the game will be spent on Thursday the 9th as the other two are travel days. For myself that accounts for a big chunk of time considering there couldn't be much further of a flight within the contiguous states than Seattle to Orlando while connecting through California. As opposed to past community events where there was more significant amount of time before the...
