Feels weird when no footballs on TV. During the WC I've gotten so used to their being football on and now we have 3-4 day breaks between matches.

Going to be a long wait till the season starts again.

There'll be some preseason game sprinkled in between.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the GOAT anime. Dat soundtrack!



I've reset my password.
I have to login to the social club before Max Payne 3 does anything.
But the damn thing tells me it's linked to a different Steam ID.
Can't do bugger all and I'm not in the mood to go through Rockstar's nonsense. It's past 3am.

I don't know why I want to do this with Max Payne 3 anyway. I'll just play through Max Payne 1 & 2.

I see. Sorry to hear that.

Max 3 is garbage. I lasted until the football stadium before giving up.

I felt like the game had shown me all it had to offer by that point and I was tried of it. I love the first two games, so I was surprised I wasn't able to push on. Max 1 and 2 are very much shooting galleries as well, but something about this recent entry just wasn't clicking for me. I don't know if it was the aiming itself, the setting or the narrative. I just couldn't deal with it.

Also, since I only paid $10 for it on PS3, it was easy for me to toss it aside.

Would anyone agree that shooting in Red Dead, even aside from the Dead Eye stuff, felt better than shooting in GTAV?

I think it varies from gun to gun. It's been awhile since I played any RDR though.

I do like the weapons they've been adding to GTA V. The one complaint I have it that it seem like the dead zone is larger than their previous games. There's no slider, so it can be a pain in the ass in free aim rooms online.

As far as guns in games go though, The Last of Us carries the most weight and impact per round fired. The gory after effect helps, but nothing feels better than catching someone peering around a corner with an arrow or revolver shot to the head in that game.
 
I love the fact three days after the World Cup ends that Chelsea play their first pre-season game! can't wait to see some of the acadamy players mixed in with the guys who didn't go to the World Cup!

How long til the guys knocked out of the group stage are back?

Rockstar Social Club was shit on Max Payne 3.

I lose my save files due to it. I still can't figure out why. Used somone else's account just to finish the game but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

A three weeks holiday for the world cup boys is what Frank said they'll get at Ajax iirc. I guess Chelsea won't be much of a difference.

This also means that Blind, Veltman and Cillessen will be back for Ajax only one week before the start of the season since our last world cup game is this weekend no matter what. Who would have thought the Dutch would stay till the bitter end? :D

I see that Ajax vs Vitesse is the game on Sky Sports 5 over here :D can't wait to see that!

Struggled to get my arse to work today, was having a proper Monday morning.... then I saw Mario Balotelli's GF pictures. My god, hate the man or not, he can certainly pull a beautiful woman with all that Mohawk.


Have you guys seen this, might be dc'ing but some crazy American shouting insults at RVP for being a cheater, people assuming he thinks it is Robben.

I see you guys have been reading my thread. This has always been a goal of mine and i'm finally going to see it become a reality.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
just want to pour one out to the 13/14 Benfica team (league, cup, league cup winner and europa league finalist) which is once again being gutted after winning the championship, I barely knew you

Garay, Siqueira, Rodrigo (even if hes training with the squad lol) and now Markovic, with Enzo Perez and Oblak very likely to go to, and the ever possible Gaitan sale (which never happens but still)

Yup, its going to be a painful year alright... see you again in 4 years league title :(

Definitely.

People kept saying Max Payne 3 had the best shooting, and after playing Red Dead I was convinced even though I didn't consider it a Max Payne game. Thought it was awful, Red Dead's was so much better and I find it really hard to explain why. I felt more in control of the shooting for some reason. Until a fucking cougar came running at me, then I managed to shoot everything else.

Need a RDR2 or prequel.



Bla - Hiro is basically going to become Lara Croft, see his thread in off topic.

In WC thread, shit about offsides because the player flagged offside didn't touch the ball.

That's not how it works...someone please explain these things to them

Also, fuck the guy in the video. <3 RVP

Saw this on reddit:

....are you fucking kidding.

All about Daily Mail mate, its basically free softcore porn that you can look at without getting told off.

Just don't go to the news or opinion sections, the comments can be funny. Although I guess if you want to read articles then there isn't much choice.



Cartoon - That is a cool pic, its weird Japp considers himself a united player above most of the other clubs, he wasn't there that long.


I still can't believe RVN was getting wrecked on here, very smart player. Had the best celebration I have ever seen too.

Also part of one of the best games of football I have seen in my life, Netherlands against Czechs in the euros. So good.


Bla - Well you did pick Back to the future over Indy, so you're consistent. :D

Just go into private browsing to get around the Telegraphs paywall. Not sure if it still works but it did a few months ago.

Man, I missed the Karting fun yesterday. Went to bed early to read. Didn't think anyone would still play!

Well, another time.

Arsenal seem confident Sanchez has turned down LFC but club is still talking to his representatives...

Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 22m
Could be a couple of reasons for this...

Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 21m
1. Sanchez keeping his options open as long as possible to see if LFC make better offer?

Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 20m
2. Sanchez know his club would rather he move to LFC & thinks he can get compensation from Barca for doing so...

Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 20m
Or...


Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 19m
3. His agent REALLY loves the sound of Ian Ayre's voice & thinks 'sorry' is the hardest word.

Chris Bascombe @_ChrisBascombe · 18m
I quite like option 3 but suspect 1 & 2 more plausible.
