This is Bodacious.
http://cdn.gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Bodacious-Gear-Patrol.jpg
A 1,900 pound bull that terrified even the most seasoned of rodeo’s riders. Bodacious had two signature moves that earned him his hellacious reputation: he would explode out of the chute at an impressive speed and, more sinisterly would throw back his head using his skull and horns as weapons. Because he was so dangerous, success on Bodacious was nigh impossible to achieve, and thus in 135 outs, Bodacious bucked off 127 riders.
Two incidents in 1995 ultimately led to Bodacious' retirement in his prime. First, in the final round of the 1995 PBR World Finals, Bodacious headbutted eventual PBR World Champion Tuff Hedeman, breaking every major bone in Hedeman's face. Hedeman needed a 6-hour reconstructive surgery to repair his face.
Then, in the 9th round of the 1995 PRCA National Finals Rodeo, rider Scott Breding tried wearing a hockey mask. However, this failed to protect him adequately. Bodacious headbutted and knocked him out, while breaking his nose and bursting his eye sockets. A few days later, Bodacious was retired from professional bull riding for the safety of the riders. In 1999, he was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and many know him as "the greatest bull to ever buck."
Some clips of his attempted rides. Primus did a song in tribute to the now deceased bull, I must warn you though the songs just plain awful :laugh:

Its a turn based video game which is completely unique, and based off a table top strategy game which has been around 30 years. A parody of American Football wher you play teams of dwarves, orcs, elves, Skaven (Rat people), Chaos (goat people), and many many more.
It introduces an RPG element as the players gain xp, gain skills, can even age, but most importantly in Blood Bowl.........when a player dies, theyre dead. theres is an expensive apothecary youre only able to use once in a game which isnt foolproof, other than that you are dead if that comes up as a result.
People can use players to foul, hit them while theyre down. They might or might not be caught by the ref, and if they are they can attempt to bribe the ref to stay on the field avoiding ejection.
The races are intentionally unbalanced, yet realistic...meaning true to the race. Goblin and Halfling races are very easy to beat (and squish ;)), but they are tons of fun as theyre loaded with gimmicks. Theres all sorts of gimmicks throughout Blood Bowl to where you can gain an advantage for your team vs another coaches....you can buy a Wizard Spell that can be thrown during the game, buy Star Players for a game, bribes for the refs, poison the other team...it gets involved. The games been around since 1986 so theyve developed a deep system for a simple 6-sided dice turn based formula.
Dwarves are brutal, but slow. Elves are quick as hell yet fragile, same with Skaven. Humans are right in the middle of the power scheme, but the race I play are Chaos, the ones that look like goat people. They have a Minotaur on their squad, start with nothing in the way of skills, BUT eventually can get almost anything available. You put your time in developing a Chaos squad.
My Minotaur is named Bodacious, and if he dies I just buy another Mino and name him Bodacious. Hes the only permanent named position on my team, the "Bodacious Cowbells". :)

All my players are named after rodeo bulls. Other than baseball players, rodeo bulls have the best names. My Chaos Warriors are Tahonta, Blender Head Snuff (my kicker), Red Rock, and Code Blue. My Beastmen who get more movement, horns for blitzing, yet are not as strong are Little Yellow Jacket, Altercation, Shepherd Hills Tested, Locomotive Breath (Who is my ballcarrier, he got a +1 on his Agility when leveling which is a difficult random occurence), Fandango, and Chicken On A Chain.
Whenever your player goes up in level you roll to see if you can get a special skill or ability bump. So far Loco Breath is the only one that has one, but even without anything special my Mino "Bo" in 9 games has killed 2 players and injured 27 others. :eek: Coaches have conceded as soon as they see him land a Block.
If anyone would like a game where its a little football, strategy, and RPG then Blood Bowl is your game.
