I am only interested in games. It seems like it was games free so I wont bother. Hopefully E3 will have more focus on games.

Not sure about this internet connection required stuff though. I have limited internet, I dont need MS downloading its gig+ system updates whenever it feels like it.

My reaction after PS4 conference: "Lots of questions I want answered. Just what cool stuff is this system gonna do? Next gen can't come soon enough."

My reaction after XB1 conference: "Lots of questions I demand answered. Just what else are they cutting from games? Next gen can wait."

Always makes me laugh when people get aggressive in their defense of the way Gaf chugs under heavy traffic. Its like they're hoping Evilore will read it and cut them in for a slice of the pie.

@rodvik, I'm loving it

:lol

The criticism is absolutely justified too. A site this big, that is meant to be one of the lead gaming news websites, shouldn't break down every time any news comes out.

For example, during e3, you know 100% that you won't be able to see anything as you'll get a 505 server error.

As you said, people defending it are hoping the mods see it for extra star stickers. No other logical reason you'd defend such a problem.

I just hope no one gets banned for those sort of criticisms.

It just seems like EA MS wants to force a move to DD. Like a walled off version of Steam. Can't resell digitally downloaded game -> cut out used games selling.

Fellaini & Carrick or Fellaini & Cleverley?

I'm wishing for a creative MC and ST.

Fellaini and Carrick all day errday.

Still think we'd need another midfielder. Maybe a box to box one cm to replace Fletcher. He'll still be around next season but I doubt Fletch will ever get back to his old standard of performances.

Spurs have a pretty balanced team now. You're right about the striker but maybe you could hold off the creative midfielder and give Holtby some more time to work his way into the team.

People sometimes act as though the fact that membership is free makes it inconsequential, but if I was an advertiser on here I'd wonder what was going on when the target audience is prevented from seeing the advert at supposedly the most oppurtune times.

I'm sure there are valid reasons for it, but its weird when one day Evilore posts about the amount of revenue generated by the site, and the next the servers fall over because of an easily-predicted spike in traffic.

On the other hand, it doesn't help when the Carnival of Stupid enter full muppet mode and spam nonsense after nonsense and quote the same .gifs after .gifs as well as starting idiotic threads every 5secs.

Btw, City unveiled their new kit.



Raised the price too. It's now $108 to get a shirt with a name and badge.. $80 with no printing. :( Now the shirt won't fit as well as Umbro and it will cost more. What more could you ask for?

Dat stick on crest. :(
Time to stockpile Umbro stuff.

Glad to see Wayne Rooney confirm what I wrote last week. He's being forced out of united! Your welcome.

Fuck off you know-nothing twat
 
That Xbox stuff you lot were talking about last night, you can't just say ignore the extra stuff if you don't want it when they've gone and designed the system around that stuff. And I don't mean it's physically impossible to ignore that stuff, I mean that the reason the system isn't as powerful as it could be is because of that stuff. Also, you're paying for and using Kinect whether you like it or not.

It's pretty clever how they've positioned this new Xbox to take over the living room to be honest. You plug whatever tv box you own into your Xbox, under the guise of their one input/fast switching system, then the first thing you see when you go to watch tv is the dashboard and their ads.

What did they cut from games?

That article in the mirror about Rooney not handing in a transfer request is such waffle, all these journo's do is sit there and make shit up, give me that job.

The Mirror understands that Ferguson had even explored using Rooney as bait in an incredible player-plus-cash swap deal to bring Manchester City keeper Joe Hart to Old Trafford.

Where the hell do they get these ideas from cause I have a strong feeling its from their arse. No quotes or anything in the whole article.

I love those sort of nonsense stories. Mainly because I have a friend who believes every single one of them and they always make their way back to for lols.

Bit harsh considering a lot of the article reads very much like something Rooney wanted to put out there.

Liverpool's Ian Ayre has told Korean media that the club are interested in signing Son Heung-min of Hamburg.

Could acquire him for €10m.

Bild claims that HSV will sack Frank Arnesen today.

Both news seem consistent with a sale of Son. Arnesen hasn't performed that well during his mandate, he could have done more with different means. HSV has debts and look in worse shape than Schalke themselves in that regard.
