Have you given Billy Bat a try ?

I haven't! I've known about it since it was first starting to come out, but I've been ignoring it all this time because I just could not deal with reading Urasawa one chapter at a time. I actually was looking at the Wikipedia page not long ago to see how far along it was - 13 volumes is a good ways in. Do you think it's going to last as long as 20/1CB, or closer to Monster?

Yep, also think if Sagna leaves, we should try and go for Coleman, if not him then Aurier.

I just don't know who we can get for a striker.... Need someone better than Giroud lol (and he's a decent striker imo)
Click to expand...

Yeah, I would be ecstatic with Coleman. Haven't seen Aurier, but people say he is good.

I think we will quickly sign Remy/Morata and then work for the rest of the summer trying to find someone top class. Dunno who. Probably have to wait until have the World Cup when things really start moving.

Remember when milch was making fun of sport1 for reporting that Gundogan was getting medical treatment in Crimea? Dortmund confirmed it today

I'm still a bit behind, since the German market is a bit slower (Volumne 8 is coming in june).
And I want to support the local market, so I can't give you a correct answer yet, but so far it looks like something in between.
Alot of characters and different scenarios are taking place at the same time, and I've heard of alot of different historic icons that yet have to appear.
I'm not even sure yet, where exactly he's going with the storyline.

You should give it a try though.Typical Urasawa quality, allthough the characters from Monster were more remarkable.


Edit.
If you want something complete, you might wanna take a look at Homunculus from Hideo Yamamoto.
Another author that is pretty underrated, mainly because it's Seinen material.

Free, pls. Giroud is fine but he needs to be a second striker. Either play two up top or rotate him with another. He shouldn't be your only striker to rely on.

haha why Mean Girls?
Click to expand...

I don't know, this was the days before YouTube and Netflix and super fast internet, my sister had Mean Girls on DVD and Lindsay Lohan was actually hot back then.

Some nights I'd just leave Channel 4 on, I've seen far too many Bollywood films and porn documentaries because of that.

On another note, I really wish it wasn't Liverpool and City fighting for the title, because I feel like I want that one last twist... But I can't. Boring last day?

$10 PSN+ discount is a special version that goes away if you don't have a PSN+ subscription. Kinda bullshit. Goes against everything they've said about PSN+ before.

Daily Mail reporting Arsenal are inquiring about Javi.

Willing to pay 20 for Bender. Feel like he is the best realistic option available.

They say our ideal target is Gundogan. Why? Can he play as the deepest mid infront of the CB's?

Yes I don't think Sony quite appreciates that the reason they're sitting where they are now, in a good position with the PS4, is that they engaged their audience directly and sincerely. If they lose that sincerity the good will they've garnered will disappear. I'll buy the $60 game (unless this changes), but I'll not be surprised if they lose momentum to Microsoft this year with the way their attitude is perceived to be shifting.

I knew PSN+ was an excuse to hide online bullshit behind. The "free" games was just to soften the blow. They might change it, but if they don't...
...oh boy!

I doubt they'll continue with the current DC model though, or at least something on the text was false.

I'm seeking clarification.

Game director already hopped in.

Luckily, I'm getting the retail version for 19€ because I preordered the console last june.

I'm not touching DriveClub with a barge pole, and if it's the only PS+ "game" for that month, I'll be very disappointed.

They're lowering the perceived value of the paid subscription model if they do that, in my opinion.

Lego, pls. Sony will turn up and tell everyone it was mistake in the wording and we got it all. Then they mention a "better" deal and everyone will proclaim them heroes of gaming. -_-

I just watched Anchorman 2. I thought it was funnier than the first. I don't know why Dobie kept making me laugh and when Ron gets angry and Jean-Claude Van Damme from Bloodsport appears in his eyes, I was in stitches.

It won't be the only ps+ game that month I'm sure. It was supposed to come out alongside Resogun, remember?

I hope so, I'm not usually one to complain, I'm very much enjoying all the indie titles we've got so far, and I think that's a good path to keep going down. New indie games are in some ways better to me than a year old full priced release.

he's too slow, has the turning circle of a boat, and is hardly a good passer.

imagine him in an arsenal team playing a really high line... honestly, it's a waste of money assuming that's true--which it isn't.

Bud don't you think Arsenal need an enforcer

I think they are crying out for the new Gilberto Silva

Not saying Martinez is anywhere near that, but Arteta hasn't got the legs and Flamini doesn't have the positional sense nor the technical ability.

If I'm Arsene aside from a striker my top priority is a combative midfielder.

i agree with you that arteta and flamini should be replaced, but i don't think martinez is that man. i doubt it'd work out financially (bayern paid massive amounts of money for him, and i don't see arsenal matching their wages), but even at bayern he looks so out of place--and they've cruised their way to plenty of victories. imagine him in a lesser team with the same high line... it'd be an even bigger disaster.

Imagine him in a Bayern team that played a highine.

For his size and strength, something we desperately need, he is plenty quick.

I'd say he is as good a passer as Arteta.

How did he look out of place last season at Bayern. He was one of their best players.
