Still creeps me out to this day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa5z7...eature=related

Hmmm NFL-Gaf got me, I will now watch this movie

Playing a sport /= having a major league. If basketball, for example, suddenly became massively popular as the NBA is trying to make it, and began to eat the market share from soccer in Europe, I guaran-fucking-tee that FIFA would shake up the rules. I'm not saying change the game to make it popular in the US. I'm saying change the game to make it better. Are there fans who are appreciative of flopping? No? Get it the fuck out of the game. Was that a goal? Can we check the replay? Make it so. FIFA doesn't care as long as the bribes keep flowing in. They're under no pressure to make changes, so they don't make any.

Chuck, the NBA has just as much flopping if not more so. It's a glorified free throw shooting contest now. On your list of improvements you had draft lottery slotted for the NBA, that's how awful that sport is. Every other change they've made has made it worse in my eyes.

I think FMT nailed it earlier, we don't care about the sport because we don't have any attachment to the teams, we also know nothing about the talent since we produce so few domestically, MLS isn't where the big boys play so we don't care. It also operates differently from a personnel standpoint, they don't have drafts and typical NA free agency. Rule changes won't be enough to get the US to jump on board.

My brother loves the sport, so I watch it with him occasionally, it can be pretty entertaining. I watched that Cessi goal live and it was amazing. It's a bit like hockey actually, not as fast or physical but the on fly creativity is certainly there.

I cant even go into the D3 thread anymore despite being excited for it due to that guy.

I just checked that thread. Wow, you guys aren't kidding.

[Alligatorjandro]

I've watched the last 2 World Cups and really enjoyed it but havent really watched much else of soccer.

Yeah...The last World cup was faaaaaahhhhhking great.

[789shadow]

Yeah...The last World cup was faaaaaahhhhhking great.

The last soccer I was really having a good time watching was the recent Women's World Cup.

The problem with soccer is that it is basically hockey, in that most of the game is passing around the field, just without the physicality and speed that makes it interesting in hockey.

[Alligatorjandro]

Germany played well didn't they?

[TheApatheticOne]

I just checked that thread. Wow, you guys aren't kidding.

Just checked, the OT hasnt been up a week yet, and dude is at 1,008 post and counting. The quality of the thread and conversation regarding the game increases ten fold in times where the guy must just pass out.

Does this dude sleep. 4 days, 1012 posts. Thats 253 a day average :o

edit: he made 4 posts in the 8 min since you posted and I updated..

Right now he's stuck in his basement with nothing but a mini fridge and his PC, I think that's how he does it.

What about his gamecube as well?




fits well with him.

[Junie12]

He didn't provide it yet, heck we haven't even seen a picture of Iwata yet! Dude is holding out on us.

[wienke]

Diablo doesn't really excite me and I play mostly PC games.

[jakncoke]

If I had a pc that was good I might care, but I gotta get one together. Sometime before Sim City 5

The guy means well I think but he gets emotionally invested in the games he hypes up for. I remember the Dark Souls thread ended up with him having a bit of a meltdown after he had some issues with an area and had been playing for like 2 days straight.

Him and a lot of other people will get banned when the servers melt on the first day anyway.

Edit: I might check Diablo out. I never played the other two but the videos intrigue me. I think my laptop can run it.

[AngmarsKing701]

i can't think of any possible change that could be made to soccer that would make it exciting

Wow did not knew that, and his hype for D3 is insane! This is gonna be much worse..

Can't wait!

Some people take games too seriously

Sometimes I forget this is a gaming forum, probably because I hardly venture to the gaming jungle

That's why GAF is so great :)

DAT video game drama!

You should stick to video games, since that's the only way Tammy will ever beat Eli in the Super Bowl.

[Kave_Man]

I was thinking about it, I don't think I've "marathoned" a game since I was a teenager...basically when I actually had the time to do it.

Marathoning a game now for me is like 5hrs straight and by then I'm exhausted.

[jakncoke]

What games do alligators play I wonder aloud

[squicken]

Holy hell I was curious what you guys were talking about and he is posting pictures of all the supllies he's procuring so he doesn't have to leave his house. Literally shameless

[goldlion054]

Don't. Its such a depressing movie

And I made the wall of shame. bleh

[Junie12]

Lots of E3 threads popping up on gaming, hopefully it delivers. Love seeing fans reaction to the conferences. It's better than the conference itself! Never could watch an entire conference since I find it sooo boring. But I love the gifs people make with it :)

Me and you should play playstation sometime

I haven't been to big into video games lately, but I'm excited to see Wii U

Ditto, absolutely loved that fifth element gif for the wii.

Sony better cut the PS3 price to 199, I need a ps3 before football so I can watch my Steelers proper

I'm looking forward to seeing what Nintendo shows. I think out of all three of the press conferences, Nintendo's is the most intriguing to me.

I imagine they will be some price cuts this year to compete against Wii U but what do I know, I'm just an enthusiast :p

Found it:

250 is still doable, I'd just rather pay less and use the 50 bucks on something else like JD or something more than likely wasteful

[wienke]

I thought the PS3 was already 199 or was that a temporary thing?

Basically I can't imagine it not hitting 199 this year.

[AngmarsKing701]

I'll probably pick up the next Xbox within the first 6 months of it's existence. Depends on when it comes out.

I finally got a PS3 and the thing is getting almost zero action. The kids watch BD's on it upstairs. The Wii came, collected dust, and left. There is nothing Nintendo can do to entice me to pick up another piece of their hardware.

wasnt that a gamestop promotion?

That's how I feel about the next xbox. Every good game on the 360 is multiplatform and inevitably better on the PC. The only reason I will be buying one is for the Madden league. I'll get the other two consoles for their superior exclusive but will continue to do the bulk of my gaming on the PC. Like a man.

[Junie12]

You know, I've been lurking the Wii U thread since the first OT, and I gotta say, Nintendo better fucking deliver. Those guys have HUGE expectations for the Wii U and if Nintendo doesn't deliver..

Oh boy..

Let's just say the meltdowns will be a sight to behold.

[jakncoke]

Can anyone confirm this, I was looking around some comments about Sunday Ticket. Do they really do a 350 over 4 months thing? If so that'd be hella sweet.

[Alligatorjandro]

I'll probably buy the PS4 then the xbox

maybe the wii u

[eznark]

I paid mine over like 9 months or something, it was the only thing they offered at the time. Just tacked it onto the dtv bill. It starts every July and stops in like March or something.

whatever you're charged is divided into 4 payments which will show up on your september, october, november and december billing. although sunday ticket this year (for the base package) is only $199

Yeah I use to have a ps3, pretty much just played mgs4 on it. Didn't really get much action. Ended up selling it

Im getting it through PSN app thingy, so no monthly dtv bill will be involved
