A look inside the Maxim Party (and others) before Super Bowl XLVI…

Today is Super Bowl XLVI, and we have our game face on. But before we get back into game coverage, let’s take a quick break and go off the field.

The theme was comic books, and servers were dressed as super heros. That was a nice touch...

Super Bowl XLVI preview and pick

EA Sports this week, using Madden 2012, came out with its simulation for the Super Bowl. Other than a thinly veiled attempted at advertising, I don’t know why they do this.
