  1. Really enjoying TLOU so far! The AI and stealth mechanics suck but the story is gripping and the cinematics are gorgeous. Looks absolutely slick on the PS4 with nice lighting, effects and general atmosphere.
  2. I think history has a big part to play with soccer worldwide. In countries where it thrives; it has a lavish past where it's become established and inspired people from a young age. The passion in families for local teams and the general publicity it receives engrosses people. In the UK and Europe; there isn't a sport in second place that is remotely close in terms of popularity and with a dedicated fanbase interest. Rugby is probably the next one on the list but 9/10 soccer fans could not care less about it apart from the major international matches where there is a heightened interest. The US has many major sports with Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey and Baseball all having a distinct history behind them and Soccer cannot seem to develop interest to that tune because it hasn't had a long lifespan behind it and lots of memories. Also competing with 4 major sports with a proven level of fans is always a tough ask. I think Soccer in the US is what Rugby is to people in the UK. A sport that has it's own fans but will not turn heads as there is one that a person has a more dedicated level of interest in. I don't mind Rugby and I like the big international competitions but I'd never follow it as soccer is my preferred sport and it's what I grew up playing and watching. It's part of my history and that's where Soccer in the US will struggle as people cannot relate to it overnight and in some ways; it's kinda being commercially weaved in to an already packed sector.
  3. 4.7 BULLION? That's a golden typo
  4. Yeah, I nearly choked on my Pepperami last night when I saw that headline It kinda makes makes sense as the MLS doesn't start their new campaign for another 8 months or so.
  5. Looks like Vermaelen will definitely be leaving Arsenal with Man Utd the favourites. Very strange transfer and all the chat that has come with it last two months. It's like Man City signing the likes of Anton Ferdinand or Real Madrid buying Michael Dawson. It's just weird
  6. Assuming Microsoft hasn't craftily nabbed all the streaming links for Live owners only; I assume you'll be able to watch it live online through IGN, Twitch and the other main sites. Will probably be uploaded to YouTube soon after the unveiling too and then the Ali-A and Tmartn; the free advertising puppets under the thumb of Activison will probably publish their breakdowns in more detail.
  7. The postman has delivered! Love the smell of a new game when you open it
  8. York City FC of League 2 are still better
  9. System Shock II £1.19 for the next 7 hours
  10. Even more of Ashley Cole
  11. Well Usain Bolt labelled the competition and Glasgow 'a bit shit' allegedly and I think he runs tomorrow and many spectators are supposedly going to turn their back on the race. Should be interesting indeed
  12. Oxford Utd have a Danny Rose but he's a white chap. Equally shit too. Would love to swap I was at the Arsenal game when he came on the scene with that epic goal but he's done sod all but go backwards and become less popular since. Been on loan a few times but is really only a player to fill the team sheet IMO. Spurs can do much better.
  13. Titearse Bumhole as we call him
  14. I forgot COD Ghosts existed. http://mp1st.com/2014/07/31/call-duty-ghosts-nemesis-dlc-first-trailer-launches-august-5/#.U9p-VPldV8E
  15. Haha that's fucking brilliant!
  16. Auto fail I hope for the love of god doesn't get implemented but Bungie seem fixated on 6 players, no more, no less at all times for Raids. If you're even playing in a party of 6 in a Raid started at 6pm let's say and it's going on 9.30pm and it still hasn't ended but you or one of your team needs to get the dinner in the oven, put the kids to bed, phone goes off, an emergency, pick up the wife from work etc..you all end up losing over 3 hours of effort because of natural life occurrences. With no matchmaking; you can't get someone to hop in if such a thing materialises for the final hour+ and by the sounds of it; you can't even invite someone to join mid-game just to cover the person(s) who have unfortunately had to drop out because of certain circumstances. Also if you're playing with a buddy from the other side of the world and someone loses connection; game over too? Firefights on Halo were fine as you could play 1-4 players at any time and players could join via matchmaking but leave of their own accord if they had to opt out and could be replaced by someone else through invite, join or common matchmaking. With Raids being fixed at six and in Bungie's words; an essential and conditional number to play the mode; it seems the flexibility isn't there and they have made a catastrophic error of judgement on players habits, health and availability. Even with Raids planned out to the precise second; you always have to prepare for the unexpected in life and may have to remove yourself from the game but I hope that everyone else doesn't have to suffer hours of lost gameplay because of Bungie's strict and ignorant approach. Raids seem overly ambitious but Bungie haven't considered a host of factors that could impact the experience.
  17. Can't wait for this tomorrow! I'm going for the Platinum trophy
  18. Ravel Morrison remanded in custody http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-28581181 The new Marlon 'do you know who the fuck I am bitch' King?
  19. Supply drops confirmed but we still don't know what they are. It's been confirmed as not a Care Package though. Some people are liking them to BF Battlepacks and others to an Emergency Airdrop.
  20. +1 this is taken from the PS4 manual Avoid prolonged use of the PlayStation® system. Take a 15-minute break during each hour of play. Seems Bungie have other ideas.. I played Halo 3 for four years and after 4pm you'd always have an upward spike in the player count through the evening along with rammed Fireteam matches and it just seems Bungie are building their MMO structure around their classic multiplayer system which doesn't cater in the best interests of many gamers for this genre or potential health implications that it could create.
  21. Oxford just announced their new sponsor Sounds like some adult booty website site I used to visit
  22. Awkward Roma team photo for Ashley Cole
  23. Looks like Ravel Morrison beat up two women in Manchester in the early hours on a night out. What a tosser.
