anyone famous play FOF?

Flasch186 · 01-06-2004, 11:36 AM

Well I used to be an actor. rarely do that any now. On the IMDB under hatcher flaschen. but i was wondering if anyone knows anyone famous that plays FOF. I know Curt Schilling is big gamer and plays some, but i dont know if he plays this. It would just be cool to know.

Ksyrup · 01-06-2004, 11:40 AM

Jim has said that NFL football front-office types have purchased his games in the past. He didn't mention names, of course, andhe never said "GMs" to my knowledge, so it may or may not be someone we all would have heard of.

Fritz · 01-06-2004, 11:50 AM

Ray Carruth plays the hell out of the game

Poli · 01-06-2004, 11:57 AM

At least you didn't mention Korey Stringer or anything, Fritz.

Fritz · 01-06-2004, 12:04 PM

get back to work squidboy

Kodos · 01-06-2004, 12:09 PM

Arnold Schwartzeneggar is supposed to play it a lot.

Mike Brown comes over twice a week to sim a few seasons. I talked him into Marvin Lewis. I told him he was excellent at injury avoidance. I'm a genius.

I dunno, but I think Jim would be wise to give Bill Simmons a copy....

I emailed him about FOF once. In fact, I think there was a thread about trying to get someone like him to get into the game and mention it in a column.

No offense to the guy, but he's way too "arcade" for this game.

Hatcher Flaschen. that is a damn cool name - is it a screen name?

I think it's his porn screen name.

His credits?

Virgins
The Punisher

I also see that Man vs. M.I.L.F. is in post-production.

cuervo72 · 01-06-2004, 12:43 PM

I've wondered about some of the names I see popping up in games, is FOF one of the games Jim added his clients to the name file, or just TCY?

I'd disagree. His articles are still super good when he actually takes the time to write them. I've noticed that the ones that say "this article appears in ESPN the Magazine on xx xx xxxx" are usually crap, but his longer ones are still really good.

I agree with this.

I think the ones he writes for the Magazine suck for two reasons:

1. Space requirements - not an issue for internet media, but a very real concern for printed media.

2. He can be as irreverant or drop as many of his "inside jokes" in the magazine.

That film has probably been in the can for years...

Flasch186 · 01-06-2004, 03:19 PM

nope just finished shooting in Tampa. I was a dayplayer, one scene with Will PAtton. Ill probably get cut out.

I used to live in LA, small fish big pond syndrome. Couldnt get enough work. Agent was small.

Lots more work on the southeast. hence all the WB crap from Wilmington NC. I do it mostly now for hobby. I sell new homes mainly. Honestly its the greatest job ever. I go in to work at 1100am, sit in a model home, play FOF, or CIV3, or get on the net. If someone comes in i sell em a home and im done at 6pm right when the traffic is dying out. Plus i make 6 figures (pretax). Its pretty nice. And i can make auditions every now and again.

By the way that virgins movie, was awesome.

www.amoviewithoutaclimax.com

its actually really good IMHO. but i could be biased. it just won some film festivals and the director says he's trying to get distribution but who knows and at this point....i made the choice to jump over the shark. I couldnt stand livin out there so im back in the small pond where i can hunt like a big fish. In florida i see the same 20 people at auditions so there is a much better shot.

Depends on your definition of famous, I suppose. I'm certain that several of the folks here have achieved quite a bit of acclaim in their respective fields.

Pumpy Tudors · 01-07-2004, 01:21 AM

I'm famous for touching myself on regional television in a half-full ampitheater in Pyongyang. It really wasn't my idea, and I have to give credit to my longtime friend James Jasper Corrichant for coming up with the plan. We practiced it a few times in his garage, and then we tried it in a Taco Bell because they were open late. After we got thrown out of Taco Bell, we went to Wendy's and set it up again. The schtick went over quite well at Wendy's, and that's how Dave Thomas really got the idea for promoting adoption of children, despite what you may have heard. We took our act on the road, forming an improvisational comedy troupe known as the Security Envelopes (you may or may not have heard of us). After we got arrested in Dayton, I lost touch with James Jasper for a while. I moved to Jakarta, and I think he moved to Wisconsin, so we didn't see each other too much anymore. I got engaged to his daughter a few months ago. Then there was the whole Pyongyang thing and the rest is history.

I don't know if we count, but myself and a collegue play the game and we are members of the Claymores (NFL Europe) stats crew.

As far as famous goes, last season, you could see my bald head lurking behind Ken Margerum (Claymores Offensive Co-Ordinator last year) whenever Fox showed him.

Ever try and get some of the players and other staff members interested in the game?

Yossarian · 01-07-2004, 04:54 AM

Nah, just the stats guys.

We don't have a LOT of contact with other guys.

I've met tonnes of cool folk and know a few of them but we don't have a lot of interaction with the coaches etc...

One cool wee benifit of the job is that I get to meet lots of NFL stars that I would NEVER get to meet (living in Scotland).

Cris Carter, Steve Buerline, Brian Baldinger (ok, not a player but...) have all been over doing TV commentary.

(of course , like the fanboy that I am, I get autographs of them all)

Random crap fact: Cris Carter has massive hands.
