LOOOOOOOOOL

someone made a royal rumble with real people (like Gabe Newell!), game characters and other random characters. It's fucking hilarious.

How are you only just discovering VGCW? I watch it almost religiously when he live streams for about 6 months now, but he's been going on longer.

You have to watch live. The live experience with the live chat is so much better.
 
Olympic 100m finals are great, Mumford and Sons are utter shite, David Hayter not voicing Big Boss is a crime, Lollipop Chainsaw is rubbish, A Song of Ice and Fire is simultaneously amazing and overrated, The Wire is the best TV programme I've seen, Uncharted 2 is the game of the generation, Suarez has started acting like a knob again, GoW:A is fantastic when you get used to the new combat, Arnie is a knob, Mumford and Sons are utter shite, and Bioshock: Infinite is well on the way to its inevitable backlash.

Just watching the ending to the Sopranos again on YouTube, I really wish I could've seen it without knowing what was going to happen beforehand.

Anyone who is watching or plans to watch the show, avoid anything to do with the end.

It's been on my list for quite some time. Not sure how but I have so far managed to avoid spoliers for it.
 
We have a thread for the show at Gaming.

EDIT
TRIPLE POST. Where is everyone. Why am I here alone. Is everyone sleeping. Fuck.

Really enjoyed that World Cup. 2006 has been my favourite of the ones I've seen.

2010 sucked. I was really hyped for it and it was rubbish.

2010 wasn't as bad as many make it out to be. Yeah the vuvuzelas were annoying as fuck, but the tournament itself had it's moments. Suarez becoming a hero and saving Uruguay, NZ undefeated, Spain continuing their domination all goals scored by Barca players btw(5 Villa, 2 Iniesta, 1 Puyol), horrible ref decisions(Tevez offside goal vs Mexico, Lampard goal vs Germany, Kaka red for nothing..I think that was wc10..., the vuvuzelBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

And I saw a post here the other day saying "there were barely any goals, all games were 1-0 or 2-1" but I remember CNN talking about the same thing saying that the whole tournament had like 5 goals less than 2006.





My overall opinion:
2010 WC wasn't amazing, but it wasn't as shit as some say either. People just can't handle the cunt that is Iniesta winning so many things.


Ooooh that's a good one.

I've also just remembered France beating New Zealand in the quarter finals of the same tournament. That's was a good one too.

That was a great game. So many salty fans over here over the "forward pass before the try" and "bullshit yellow" lololol.

As for more great games, Euro 08(I think?) when Turkey made it to those semi's. They played some insanely entertaining games along the way.

world cup 2010 sucked. Of the ones I've seen (94,98,02,06,10) I think I liked 2006 best. Zidane exhibition was just magical, him shitting all over the brazilians was a sight to behold.

Although I didn't personally watched it (was born that year), most people (the neutrals) will probably pick 86 as the greatest ever.

I liked 98 since it was the first World Cup I really followed. Had a nice atmosphere. But yeah, looking back 2010 was probably the worst. Still okay but for odd reason not as interesting as the ones before. I guess I blame Spain for that.

1982 and 1990 World Cups were probably the worst ones I ever watched. Boring from beginning to the end. Even Vuvuzela's wouldn't have saved those tournaments..

World Cup is overrated anyway. There's nothing like Champions League, that's where football at the highest level is played.

World Cup is only fun because of the drama, but that's it.

Viva said Khedira is rubbish, and I agree with him.

You watched the 1982 World Cup? Eww, you're old.

Edit: Plus you're just mad that the Soviet Union took a shit on New Zealand in that World Cup.
 
Watched a UEFA goals compilation on the flight home yesterday.

That Nayim lob over Seaman had me fucking chortling. I love, fucking love, a good doomed keeper backpedal.

Also, Ronald Koeman could fucking strike a ball.

I was lucky enough to be on a US flight (Economy seat) that had live satellite TV. One of the channels had hours of scheduled Champions League highlights of the midweek games. Surrounded by Americans, 30,000 feet in the sky, it was the last place I thought I'd see a football match.

But life finds a way
 
Saw a stat earlier that England made less passes than Scotland in their game and 500 less than Germany.

luanne8673: Spain made over 800 passes in last night's game. The only way England could make that many is if we enter Wayne Rooney on Mastermind.​

:lol

I remember another post of yours "Matuidi will make Xavi and Iniesta his bitches" - didn't really happen now did it.

Iniesta will take a dump on Thiago Silva. (A bit too graphic but that is how I roll)
Matuidi did a good job, but France's forwards didn't finished their chances. I'm pretty confident in PSG's defense on holding off messi.

I think so too, but they better not focus too much on Messi. Villa and Pedro/Tello/Sanchez will score all the goals if that happens.

Pique will have Ibra in his pocket, Alves will struggle against Lavezzi, Valdes will continue his great form, Thiago Silva will wish he still played for Milan and only lost 4-0 instead of getting thrashed 8-0 from 8 Messi goals, etc.
