Lambert sacked from Villa. No surprise there really. Team scores about 2 goals every 6 games and he decides to send Darren Bent on loan!

Really good midweek sale on Steam at the minute called 'Mystery Midweek' - plenty of old-skool adventure and mystery titles along with a few new ones and classics. Picked up Gemini Rue yesterday which is supposed to be incredible

Cannot believe Activision will charge $4.99 for the Atlas Gorge Map! It's a great addition to the core playlist but the price is a kick in the teeth. Nuketown 2025 and Free Fall were free a few months after release but this microtransaction is taking the piss.

Championship is really entertaining at the moment and it'll be interesting to see if Bournemouth can maintain their place at the top as the season progresses. They've definitely impressed this year with some massive wins and a quality team. Derby have a cracking squad with considerable depth so they'll be prime contenders for a return. Middlesbrough have played some incredible football from what I've seen on the TV and they are another team that are right up there for a return. You can't even discount the chasing pack especially at this stage of the season. This shocked me earlier http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31359331

Kowloon was amazing for Domination! My first match on there we won 200-199 and I went 49-39 or summat crazy and I was sweating come the end of the match especially after a tense finale where we nicked the middle flag with seconds to go. Also had a 200-14 win on there once where it was so easy; I had time to roll a cigarette mid game and still went flawless

You also get random discounts on games but it's nothing on par with the Steam sale. It's stupidly good business from Valve because they just make a mint out of nothing and take a cut on every transaction in the community market. I went to sell a gun I earned from CSGO for £50 but the transaction value for the buyer would have been £57.50 so I then had to reduce it to £43.50 to make the price adjust to £50 meaning on that deal alone; Valve made £6.50 for doing sod all The concept is deeply flawed as well as the 'investment' and loyalty aspect of it. I'm just happy I've ranked without going out of pocket unlike this guy http://steamcommunity.com/id/palmdesert- he must be spending £50 per level now. The Gaben has him by the balls that's for sure

1. Black Ops 2. MW2 3. COD 4 4. World at War 5. Black Ops 2 6. AW 7. Call of Duty 8. COD 2 9. COD 3 10. MW3 And Ghosts doesn't even get on the list

I'm boosting....legitimately Can't believe I reached level 50 just buy wheeling and dealing and it hasn't hardly cost a thing If you get your hands on some good items in certain games; you can flog them for quite a bit and use that as collateral to rank up although it is a bit pointless minus the few perks. I do however find the concept a bit stupid. I actually complained to Steam about this a while back after seeing the FAQ and they didn't respond unsurprisingly A snippet from the leveling section of the FAQ:- ''The Steam Level is a quick way for users to see how much someone has invested in their Steam account. We have just a few different ways to get badges right now, but we hope to expand that to include all the different ways users contribute'' So basically what Valve are saying; crafting badges demonstrates more of an investment than actually BUYING GAMES! I spent £70.00 before the Xmas sale on 3 games and earned 3XP for my troubles but on the same day I spent £0.25 on 4 trading cards to complete the set and earned 100XP - basically this seems to mean that the 25p I spent on cards is more worthy in their eyes and on my profile than investing in 3 games at a far greater expense. Also this means that 1,000 games at a possible cost of £30,000 equates to the same standard of investment as someone that can spend £2.50 on trading cards and still have the same level of loyalty - that's a £29,997.50 difference but in Steam's eyes; both players are equal They seriously need to address this bullshit system. My wallet funds are almost exhausted now so I'm done with ranking up and I don't have much in the kitty in terms of decent items left to flog into the community apart from some Black Ops 2 foils who's value has shrunk of late. I'll flog them in the next auction methinks!

Good stuff! I charge for requests such as this so that's a tenner you owe me Have a read of this when you get a chance so you can decide what to do with your inventory if anything http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=145245037

Mmm on the face of it he seems legit but if he wants ALL your Steam cards for just a few poxy backgrounds and emoticons; I smell a potential scammer or someone after something for practically nothing. You have about £10 worth of cards there and I can't see what items could compensate those in a trade - also you'd be exchanging about 100 items too plus the fact the emoticons are worth sod all so he'd probably have to give you 200 of them just to balance it out. I'm not sure about this Phil and you might end up getting the raw end of a deal. I'd delete and block personally. You are sitting on quite a few items in your inventory and you should sell them for wallet money or craft them into badges on set completion

What's his name Phil? I'll see if he's legit. Don't get scammed though

Unbelievable video

Great to have Top Gear back! Loved the number plate gags in tribute to the Falklands saga on Sunday's episode

Decent game tonight I thought. Bolton played really well and deserved the lead although the little shit dived for the penalty Red card changed the game and Liverpool were always going to win after they scored. Great goal by Phil Cooteeneeo to nick it. Bolton did defend we'll second half but it was only a matter of time until they were breached. Ref was dodgy throughout too

Some footage has finally emerged of American Truck Simulator - the sequel to ETS2 which is one of the most successful and highly rated games on Steam. It's still in alpha and has no immediate fixed release date but it does seem to be coming along nicely. Not sure if the UI and menu is a placeholder or if they are going to keep it the same as ETS2 but either way; it'll be extremely polished when finished.

I'll hopefully get downloaded today and playing tomorrow. Sadly, just logging into Origin is proving to be a difficult task at this present time as I cannot be arsed I haven't logged in for such a long time; the update queue is going to be very long indeed..

Not surprised to see Harry leave QPR although I am a bit bemused at his knee-op excuse! Definitely more to it than that but the club have been a bit of a mess every time they're in the top flight and come under the spotlight.

Don't worry, it gets worse as the game progresses It's a great game and it gets better by the hour - if you need any help; just gimme a shout here and I will try and assist

Nice find!

I bloody fell asleep didn't I Saw the first half which was a weird game - Patriots dominated and then Seattle scored out of nothing. Patriots then get back in front and look comfortable but with 6 seconds left; the Seahawks nick another touchdown which was a risky attempt instead of a kick but it paid off. Katy Perry then comes out with a distinct lack of cleavage on show and after that; I don't remember a thing. Not really a reflection on the game or Katy Perry herself but I was just knackered. Looked like a pretty mental second period though

Yeah it's a shame. Probably down to the publishers as this is a AAA title with planned DLC and they wouldn't want people getting stuff for free off the community and neglecting the official content down the line. Also the developers are probably quite strict about their SDK falling into the public domain - perhaps down the line when they've exhausted the engine and after the inevitable sequels; they might release it for modding purposes but this is typical AAA ignorance we see these days and they're probably scared that the community might do a better job in some respects

Ok so I'm nearly 15 hours in to the game and it's just getting better and better by the hour. The story is unfolding and becoming very interesting indeed. I've also unlocked an entire new map to explore which I didn't see coming, so the game is now bigger than I initially envisaged which is fantastic. I've also got my hands on a few guns which are great fun to use along with the improved melee weapons I've looted or crafted. This game really feels like what Dead Island could have been along with Far Cry 3 - it's simply brilliant!
