Still playing Dark Souls, keeping this build at SL25 and invading people in the Burg and Parish as insane Solaire and doing some friendly Darkwraithing when the hosts are uber-noobs. Was playing Dust 514 quite a bit, but there isn't much left to do until the next patch. Picked up Dishonored since the price dropped, should be starting it tonight.

Should've been out of sight after the first half with those chances, but for our endemic lack of composure. Then again, that's our second half syndrome, too, just at the opposite end (Brad excluded).

That can't be that agent's real name. Eris = strife, discord. Kismet = fate, destiny. It is just about the perfect name for a football agent, though.

I swear, if I ever see John Carew in public, I will bear hug him till we both cry tears of manly joy. What a hero.

Thought Herd was still injured? Will be interesting to see who PL chooses and how he lines them up. Maybe: Sylla--------------- --------Westwood --------------------- -----N'Zogbia----- If Bannan plays, though, he'll invariably be deployed too deep to be of any use, and surely Ireland won't be getting a game. If Vlaar is back, maybe Clark into DM?

Even if he didn't play too much, it'd be nice to have a well-regarded and experienced head with a seemingly genuine affection for the club in the squad. We need a few around for the young'uns.

How can anybody say anything about how good or bad he is, who is in front of him, etc? He's just arrived here, none of us have really seen anything of him yet! It's pretty common for new signings to be introduced gradually, so you can't say "Oh, he didn't start within two games of coming to a new league in a new country. Clearly, this player is worse than HItler."

Fear not! I'm a professional musician! If there's any job title that doesn't sound successful... I'd say exactly the opposite. It's a job title that sounds fantastic to most of us, but the reality is not as romantic as Joe Public imagines. I dunno, maybe it's a cultural difference, but when someone here asks you what you do, and you respond with professional musician (really an artist or performer of any kind, doesn't matter the medium), you immediately and invariably find yourself placed in the "worthless people who will never make any money and will die in the gutter, probably of herpes" category, unless they're drunk and/or you're already famous. Then, though still not "respectable", you might be tolerable.

Hot Chocolate with Fernet Branca. Pretty fantastic combination. Wonder how Branca Menta would work.

It's a stretch, but a creative one! It'll have to do!

*desperately searches for appropriately-named player to suggest signing along with him for rock-and-hard-place puns*

It always happens to us, doesn't it? We have a great opportunity, it crashes off the goalpost, opposition who haven't won away all season get just about the same chance, they go up 2-0.

All this talk of wage problems, why doesn't somebody just show Lambert where the "Adjust Budget" slider is? Please don't let the "Edit" button be greyed out!

I just don't get how he's so ineffective both in training and in the dressing room. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but when he was hired, I thought "at least this guy will get us organized and fighting", as those are things guys coming from less moneyed clubs have to be able to do. Somehow, though, he's got us delivering the same limp-dicked garbage on and off the pitch almost every week. It's flabbergasting, as his Norwich players on average weren't better than what he has here. Can he just not get our players on his side?

We've had this problem for a while, at least back to MON (especially once we hit March in his case). It's like it's drilled into the club's mentality somehow. We know we're going to throw away that comfortable lead the instant the second half whistle blows.

Poked my nose back into FM2012 for some reason, within one week (in game) virtually all my world class scouts came to me screaming 5 Stars Must Sign over a then-19-yr-old Burkinabé right back at Shakhtar valued at 3.1m. Spent nearly a year trying to sign him because I needed better right back depth and couldn't find anybody else I liked. He was already a significant improvement on my above-average 23-yr-old starting player, and he was willing to come for a fair raise and better quality of football (I'm spanking the Bundesliga with SC Freiburg and doing well in CL every year). SD played hardball, though, as he was a prized asset with 3 years left on his contract. When ,eventually, I got close enough number-wise for them not reject my offer out of hand, they countered with 30m which I could not cover with a=the mere ~3.5m left in my pocketbook. I was so frustrated and annoyed from the months of rejections and haggling, I decided I was going to be irresponsible and make this happen no matter what, so I did some number crunching, fiddled with the budgets, got them down to 24m and got it done with 3m up front, 13m over 48 months, the rest in fairly long term bonuses 9which will no problem if this season stays on course). So, finally got the guy, and yes, his stats are outrageous, he's performing well and the fans and coaches are jumping for joy, but I'm somewhat annoyed with myself for putting so much work and all my money into signing him, leaving me neither funds nor wages to grab good cheapies and frees from Africa, SA, etc, which is my normal strategy for boosting profitability. "Is this guy really worth it?" Couldn't take the nagging doubts anymore, went and downloaded Genie Scout, looked the guy up and... CA 160 PA 199 My God. Going to be the single best player in the world in a few seasons. It had to be a right back, didn't? Just had to be. My only concern now is how annoyed I'm going to be trying to buy him for my next club in a few seasons!

>mfw pyromancer starting class easymodololol >mfw not barehand parrying everything >mfw died ever >get good scrub Wait, wrong board. Sorry! Hope you're digging it. It's incredibly rewarding when you hit the many, many brutal parts and (eventually) come out the victor. Since the 25th, I've been Brolaire cooping in Burg/Parish/Depths in honor of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Felt terrible putting Solaire down, but felt I had to quite literally take on his mantle to make the concept work. Gonna go get a particular piece of insectoid apparel so I can play around with a related idea on the dark side of things once I've had enough Sunbroing.

Because he's already got 15 goals in 16 games this season. His stock has shot up quite a bit, been in talks with Chelsea and Liverpool according to his agent. Possibly just BS, but he won't be nearly as cheap even if we are still in the picture.

Blighttown is annoying, but not gamebreaking. Go in the back door in the Valley of the Drakes, you can be at the boss in 5 minutes and be done with it, then move on to the remaining 2/3 of a breathtaking game.

Fap away.

Are you new to PES? EA owns exclusive licenses to practically everything for all eternity, so it's not possible for Konami to include the Championship and such. That's what the Edit mode and these things called "Option Files" are for. Check pesgaming.com, you'll find several with various leagues fully created you can add to your game by dl'ing and loading the file. As far as your corner taker, there should be a "Set Play Settings" sub-menu on your tactics screen, where you can set L/R takers.

This is more like Gaming 2013, but Dark Souls II announced! http://www.darksoulsii.com/ http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/12/08/dark-souls-ii-announced The trailer keeps going up on YT and getting ripped down almost instantly, but if you're diligent you might find it elsewhere. There's a div for youtube in the code, though, so I imagine they'll be posting it officially at some point. Some people are thinking prequel, based on some of the stuff shown in the trailer, but From usually doesn't directly connect their games, just little things here and there. Cannot wait for more.

I don't know why everyone thinks he was so bad for Hull. That side was garbage, only scored 34 all season, but he still managed a goal and seven assists in 16 starts + 12 sub apps in the league as a teenager brand new to England, and having hardly played at all for the previous year or so.
