Jaguar, do you ever sleep? You seem incredibly prolific for what (I assume) is a part time, one man job.

Is "bollocks" used in the USA? According to his Twitter bio he is in Maryland, I didn't think this fine word was used over there. Of course he could be an ex-pat Brit.

390,350 people in the database.

Nearly 400K *real* people, each with dozens of researched attributes.

This is sim-spreadsheet. And I love it.

As if the UK economy wasn't in bad enough shape - Football Manager 2012 is out tomorrow. Productivity in the male, 15 - 35 demographic will be at an all time low.

11. The End Of The World As We Know It Oct 20, 2011, 11:42 Quboid
 
So it's the end of the world tomorrow. Really this time. Last time it was like the end of the world, but not the end of the world.

So how's everyone feeling about that? I feel fine.

This is true, but websites are rarely designed for the smartphone and how often do you see an ad on the side of a bus and think "OMG MUST LOOK UP THAT BRAND OF TEQUILA RIGHT NOW!"

Frequently!

But, er, that's probably just me. Hopefully just me.

There was this other one, Blue New or something like that. Dunno what ever happened with it.

Is the quote markup broken?

QR Codes fail because any QR code you see just takes you to a website. Next to the QR code is the website URL. Why bother using the QR code when you can just remember the URL?

Scanning a QR code is a lot quicker than typing a URL on a smartphone.

I say I'm 6'1" because if I say 6', my actual height, people assume I'm an "optimistic" 5'10".

I hate Cracked.com links in OotB. I'll read the article and then re-read some of the articles they link to and so on. It's like Wikipedia, but with snarky humour.

This is depressingly inevitable. I doubt any big budget games are any different, apart from being a little bit more subtle. A little bit.

virtually none are like this.
and this Is nothing like Kane and lynch.

as mentioned thus would be reported daily if it was common.
game reviewers are nice and dependent enough without needing blatant manipulation.

There's nothing to be reported if it is done with a bit of subtlety. If they had looked at reviewers' past reviews to see their thoughts on Battlefield, they could have trimmed the list without drawing attention.

It's hard to believe FM12 isn't there on preorders - unless they aren't counted? I'm pretty sure FM12 will dominate this chart from next week until about when FM13 is announced.

If this is a texture pack, it is going to be a huuuuuuuge patch. If not, it's not going to make a lot of difference.

I didn't read every word of the reviews, or study the screenshots, as I'm wanting to have some surprise as I play it.


I always avoid reading reviews too closely. Too many spoilers, even if they are only minor ones. I want the first experience with a new game to be mine. ALL MINE!!!

I know a lot of people criticise review scores, with reason, but often that and the summary is all I read to avoid spoilers.

Some good reviews there on the DX DLC....good to know!


It's lame that PC Gamer and RPS use the same screen shots. Are they from a press pack or are Tom Francis and Jim Rossignol the same person?

Being the space sim freak that I am, it would stand to reason that I would be the prime audience for a game like EVE. In truth, given that it's an MMO (which I universally despise), has a monthly fee (which I patently refuse to pay to play a game), is made up of, and in fact is essentially run by, the "hardcore" (in other words, elitist snobs who'll shit all over you for not doing things 'correctly') and is more like a prime time soap opera than a space sim if the press it gets is any indication, I couldn't really care any less about EVE than I do.

All of the quitters can stay quit, and take all of the other drama queens along with them for all I care. Wake me when these obviously talented developers make an actual game.

Haha, who's the drama queen again?

Honestly, you know nothing about the game, and the players apparently. But I agree, it's much more fun to judge and condemn based on feelings and strict home made policies instead of experience and knowledge. It satisifies like nothing else!

Please stay in your room with your hands in the pockets and look all grumpy because the world hasn't yet delivered all that it owes you.


You are EXACTLY the kind of person that plays EVE that I detest. Arrogant, rude, self-important, condescending, and obnoxious. Thank you for so vividly illustrating my point.


Clap Clap Clap

You win the thread.

Now I'm really curious which HTML editor you are using.

It's actually the much-reviled FrontPage 2003.

Shocked

FrontPage?

It evidently does the job but I'm amazed that anyone still uses that, never mind the web master, sorry, el Presidente of an internet cornerstone.

600 million plus ... on FrontPage. That's all the more impressive.
