31-25, Groundhogs?, Egypt, and ZOMBIES!!

     Today was the 45th Super Bowl; with the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This year it was held in Arlington, Texas, in the Dallas Cowboys' new Cowboys Stadium. Prior to the game,  Madden predicted that the Steelers would come out of the Super Bowl victorious. Madden has predicted the winning team, 6 out of 7 years; now 6 out of 8. Las Vegas' Super Bowl odds also had the Steelers (+3) winning their seventh Vince Lombardi trophy. Most other medias; ESPN, NFL Network, Yahoo! Sports, all expected this to be a close game. During the coin flip; the Packers won the toss, picking tails. The past 14, now 15, teams who won the coin toss, also won the Super Bowl. With all these different factors, it was hard to pick who would be favored this year; but the Packers came out with a 31-25 win over the Steelers.

     Now with some other news, on February 2nd, it was Groundhogs Day. The holiday where people believe if a groundhog sees its shadow Spring is coming. Even though, only 39% of the time the groundhog is right... ya... Anyways, in Egypt, the Internet is back. Also, President Hosni Mubarak told the Egyptian people that he is not going run for president again in 7 months, but he will not be resigning either. Also, now the Mubarak supporters,believed to be Egyptian military in normal clothing, have come out and have attacked the rioters and press. This causing reports, such as Anderson Cooper, to go into hiding.

     In video game news, Undead Labs and Microsoft Game Studios has announced that they are teaming up to make a MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) zombie survival game, for Xbox Live Arcade. Which I think is a great idea and I'm happy that someone is finally making a game like this. The game, currently named Class3, will not be like Nazi Zombies, or Left 4 Dead, it will be meant towards actual survival instead of shooting to get somewhere. I mean their will be a lot of zombie killing, but the game is meant more towards working with a group of online players to stay alive and to make choices that will alter the world, depending on what you do. I'm excited for it but I probably wont play it. Not because it doesn't sound like a great game, but because I don't have a Xbox.

Leave a comment below, and tell me what you all think about the news or if you have any questions. The next blog I post will most likely be a little news and something that I have written. Thanks for reading!
