It is often said that you only find out how much something means to you after you’ve lost it. And in the case of my Internet connection, I found out how much it meant to me last weekend. I didn’t have a dial tone or Internet connection until Monday afternoon.

Browsing through the Internet, I managed to find a roster update for NBA Live 08. After the trade that brought Gasol to the Lakers, I wanted to enjoy playing Dynasty Mode using this particular team. I managed to find Realistic Roster 08 v3 (Get it here). It’s not for the faint of [...]
