Don't like what they've done with the opening sequence in Season 4...

Ignore everything Peeps said it's rubbish. Concentrate on trying to get as many strikers on the pitch as possible, and tell them to push high up the pitch and just pound the goal. Xpert is limited in that it won't let you put more than 3 (i think?) strikers on at once, but that's ok, you can just add midfielders and tell them to attack too. Defenders are pointless. Imagine Liverpool against Swansea. Try a 2-5-3 formation. You can bring on more attacking options via substitutions, but Xpert will only let you make subs after the 45 minute mark, so use them wisely. Three careful changes can turn that 2-5-3 into a 0-6-4, or "The Inverse Spain" as it is known. Think Sherwood not Villas Boas. That'll get you through. Good luck.

Well don't expect any points from me, but i'm sure others will happily give you some. Jimbob for instance.

I laugh at the idea that Toure has a weaker foot. If he does, he's been using it all this time to protect everyone from being destroyed by his stronger one.

Nice. Looking forward to this season I think!

Ah good. Glad to hear that these things stay put when you're not watching them. Like the light in the fridge, or a gif that goes off the edge of the screen.

You mean it hasn't changed?

I'd rate Chuck over Twin Peaks.

Can I have 15?

Ooooh, got overall positive report. My 16-3 went up to a 17-4 and I only got him a few games from the end! Pretty happy overall. I need to trim some guff though.

I'd say all football fans are dicks. (Present company excepted of course.)

It's 2 all! Whaaaaaaa!?

Pin the capital location on the map? Whoever is closest wins?

PLayed this today. Was good.

I couldn't find a thread for this, so i thought i'd make one. http://evolvegame.com/ Played an early build of this as the Gadget Show today, and thought it was a pretty cool idea. Apparently it's by the same people who made L4D, and it seems to have got the same kind of cooperative play in it. Basically it is a 4-vs-1 game where you either play as one of 4 hunters (Assault, Support, Medic and Trapper) or as a Monster. The hunters job is to hunt down and kill the monster, while the monster has to eat prey, become stronger, evolve and then kill all the hunters (or destroy a generator, bizarrely). It seems like a really cool idea, depending on what consoles i have come Oct, i might think about getting it. I would post the trailer, but youtube is not playing ball for me right now.

Went to the Gadget Show Live today, and i was pleased to find that there were a few Oculus Rift's dotted around (not in their own stall, but a few shittier stall had demo units to draw people in). We went and queued (for 45 minutes) at Protect Your Bubble, who had one you could have a go on. First off, it was a DV1, so it still had loads of motion blur, and the screens were low quality. Also, i left my glasses on, and they got crushed down onto my nose, so for the first 30 seconds of the demo i was just basically in pain. However they were still really cool. So much more immersive that i thought they would be. When i first saw the demo on the big screen i was a bit disappointed; it was an on rails roller coaster thing through a ravine with trees and old houses etc in the chasm. It looked really lame. However, once you get the Rift on, it becomes amazing, you get a real sense of depth (almost vertigo), and the whole level just becomes incredible. You find yourself looking around trying to see everything; things that looked really boring when you saw it on the screen you really want to check out through the Rift. I don't really care about Facebook buying Oculus, i think they'll be fine. As soon as the consumer version comes out i imagine i'll be getting one regardless.

As long as it's not just your name on here. At least TRY and make an effort to come up with something original.

I agree, I'm going to wait and see what Halo offers they can....offer, and I'll consider it.

Happy Birthday Pube Cube!

Since I started cycling to work my immune system had reached God Mode. Not sure why, but I didn't get sick at all this winter. Whenever I felt an inkling of a sore throat, it was gone by the time I'd finished my commute.

Dexter has Sarah and Tang in it, so they're basically the same show.

I may have missed something, but when did Halle Berry shit herself?

Clamp Clamp Clamp!

This might cheer you up! "No time to explain, grab on!"

I can't even name anyone other than Ashley. Probably because I've not been on the main site since 2008.
