  1. I always just walk back in to town. By the time I get out of the stadium, the queue for MF has already started snaking around, so by the time you get back into town you're as well just making the trek.
  2. What would be cheaper - converting Hampden to get that better viewing experience, or just sacking it and starting again?
  3. The pathetic thought that we'd have to make sure we evenly distributed the games between Celtic Park and Ibrox, lest the bog-dwellers who care about such things throw a wobbly, is enough to discount that idea for me.
  4. I'd be surprised if they doubled up the cage - they seemed dead against that in the past with the logistics, plus it would be an odd set-up with having other normal matches on the same card these days. Wonder when they'll do the Doomsday Cage Match. That was braw.
  5. Finally found the time to watch the Kurt Angle 24 documentary. Another brilliant edition, hadn't realised the full story of the shit he went through to get back.
  6. Aye, but none of those g uys you mentioned are chicks, bruh. Chicks at 38? F'kin ancient. Euuuurgh. I don't think it's necessarily directed at just her. If there was someone else in that position, they'd get it too. Despite the "WOMEN'S REVOLUTION!" the writers are often still stuck in a shit version of the Attitude Era with playground Mean Girls bullshit. Can't remember what podcast it was I was listening to, but it's easy to just slightly change the storyline and make it much better. You can still play up the age gap, but put it down as experience. Bliss says she's lost a step, James countering by pointing out her experience and all her titles and that she will benefit from Bliss being too green. But no, instead we get adult nappies. Yay.
  7. It is very, very similar to PUBG, to the point where they clearly know what they're doing. But they don't own the concept, so the tantrum was a little misplaced. Ridiculous too, given that PUBG seems to be making all of the money there is in the world right now.
  8. Nitriansky and McGinn can fill in until one or both of them get injured, at which point we'll just forget about putting anyone out wide and set out in an ultra-narrow 3-3-1-3 Bielsa system. Looked quite innocuous from where I was with the injury. Looked like a nasty clash of heads, but guess he just went down awkwardly. Guess they didn't really know the severity of the injury given they seemed quite happy to let him hobble off on his fractured ankle. Wouldn't be surprised if it was actually just a bad sprain, but they then dropped him down the stairs on the way to the treatment room, such is our luck with full backs.
  9. When Fide went to bat for No Man's Sky* One that springs to mind is the old days where I tried to get the S ranking on Resident Evil 2. Think you had to finish it in under 2 hours (Christ, and we complain how short games are nowadays?) without saving and without using first aid sprays. Was doing well, all on target coming up to the final room before the final boss. Hadn't even really been caught at all. Came to the final corridor before the final boss and for some reason the zombies had all bunched up. Tried to slip through the gap and got grabbed. Fought that one off only to get grabbed again and fall, ending the attempt at around the 1hr50 mark. I remember quietly putting the controller down, trying to resist the urge to rip the b*****d lid off the b*****d PS2 and smash it into dust. * He was right though, I fucking love the game now.
  10. That when you come out from tracking down that assassin? Aye, must admit that was a pretty cool moment. Remember pointing the other way for ages, hearing all the sound effects, wondering what was happening until the moment the first ship flew over head.
  11. What was actually said? Bleacher Report seemed absolutely seething at the segment but didn't really say much about it other than it being pretty racist.
  12. Posting in here just in case the **** steal and burn my post. Got my ticket added to my season card for tonight, but when I was buying it I had to pick a seat. Picked one that I quite fancied, but as far as I knew it wasn't allocated seating in the Main Stand for these types of games and you could just sit wherever you wanted. Is that still the case or should I head for the one I bought?
  13. I'm actually surprised he's taken a step back from the on-screen product. I know he's still heavily involved behind the scenes, and has a work ethic that would put most younger men to shame, but it's clear he's still absolutely fucking mental when it comes to doing what it takes for the show. He's not going to be here forever, so I'm well up for seeing him every week being a mad, scary caricature of a man.
  14. Well, not really. Last time he did something stupid advertising across the board fell considerably, meaning that plenty of people whose livelihood is youtube were affected. You can argue that they shouldn't be putting their eggs in that particular basket, but through no fault of their own they're losing income thanks to him. It affects far more than just him.
  15. Problem is that now he's probably "too big to fail". If Youtube were to come in and say that they were punting him, the backlash they would get would be absolutely enormous. Plus I don't think they particularly care. They already likely host far more controversial stuff than that, and they'll be a lot less profitable to them. Unless he does something really, really bad, then youtube will probably just stay silent. He's already lost certain sponsorships and opportunities, but I imagine he'll still be ok without them. He could literally dress up as Nazi and start goosestepping around on camera, talking about how Hitler was a pretty swell guy all things considered, and you would still get a sizeable contingent defending him. I don't doubt it. I don't think the apology is insincere because he's a racist though, I'd imagine it's because he doesn't really believe he's doing much wrong. That was pretty much his stance on the last controversy he had. Instead of just admitting that he'd done something pretty stupid, he doubled down on the "kidding oan lol/it was just banter" defence while attacking the people reporting it. EDIT: I just read what he actually said as his "apology" after saying it. Agree now it's absolutely not what some are saying it is. ooft. EDIT 2 : I see some indie devs are filing takedown requests on videos he's done of their games. Interesting development - maintain youtube won't do a thing, but if enough developers essentially stonewall him, he could be seriously affected. Good. Tit. Or probably more likely, they'll just get hunners of death threats instead, cos internet.
  16. Saw that popping up across a few avenues. I don't think he's necessarily a racist, probably just a bit thick and is struggling to separate his brand of humour from what is now expected of him. Apparently the clip going around cuts off the end where he immediately realises what he's done and says sorry (not that that makes it all better). As usual he'll get defended on one side, made out to be a pariah on the other, when really it's probably just someone pretty thick who has a huge platform he maybe shouldn't have. Or maybe he goes home, dresses up in his best nazi uniform and does a bit of goose-stepping, who knows. The sad thing is that these people have a huge amount of influence, whether it's intentional or not. If ever one of these youtube stars commits some kind of atrocity, I'd imagine you'd still get thousands of young impressionable people who've come to love them defending them. I've never really liked pewdiepie, but I usually watch a bit of jacksepticeye let's plays, seems a genuinely decent guy, and he's entertaining a lot of the time (also put out a very mature and balanced reaction to the last time pewdiepie fucked up). Some of the comments he gets I often wonder what a mindfuck it must be to have that much influence when you've not really courted it directly.
  17. Fallout 4 wasn't shit, but it was disappointing given the potential it had
  18. I've looked at his posts, and now I can't wait to get my hands on Monopoly Big Event!
  19. What's that boys and girls? Santa's here? and he's bringing the Christmas spirit?
  20. Watched the whole thing yesterday. Brilliant. Just like the best shoot promos are, it was hard to see which parts would be approved and which would have Vince and Dunn absolutely raging behind the scenes. Reigns side definitely seemed more scripted, and he fell over a few times on his lines, not helped by Cena cutting in. I wasn't hugely excited for their match as it seems to have been rushed quite a bit, but looking forward to it more now.
  21. Will need to try and catch this promo at some point, always make for far better ones than the usual script. For those that saw it, better or worse than Miz's Talking Smack meltdowns?
  22. It's been described as Rollercoaster Tycoon with dinosaurs. Hopefully they actually spend some time on the game and realise its potential, but it is being released to coincide with the next film coming out. and fixed deadlines like that always work out well, don't they?
  23. "He's very quick" - Tony Pulis Not so much at going backwards though Tony. Expect there might be a James Beattie-esque chinning on him at some point.
