  1. Missed opportunity, could have done a Pochettino and brought them down from the inside.
  2. Black Parade and Decemberunderground are two albums that give a nice nostalgia fix to go back and listen to. Both very solid and still holding up when I listen to now. They were also turning points for the bands (although obviously AFI never hit the heights of MCR) as a bit of a different direction but albums that were consistently good enough to justify the change.
  3. Boredom led to me playing Wrestling Empire. While refereeing accidentally knocked totally not Rey Mysterio off the top rope, injured and "did not survive injuries", 11/10 would murder while refereeing again.

  4. It's been a decent year overall but think that Stevenages play off chances are done for. Inability to get goals at home and too many dropped points doing us. Can't be too downhearted though as didn't expect to be competing for this long and it wasn't that long ago that some cunt went in to a courtroom demanding a team get shut down saved us dropping out of the league completely so can't complain too much!
  5. I'm not saying Persona 3 has got me totally hooked... but first thing on the Steam Sale page to get my attention is Personas 4 and 5 have a discount and accidentally fell into my cart. It didn't help that I've been working solid all week so no game time. Lunch break comes up and I decide to play a couple of songs on a rhythm game on my phone. Randomly selected songs in multiplayer and... "kimi no kioku" followed by "Reach out to the Truth"... I think I found a couple of other Persona addicts...
  6. Was bored so decided to watch a couple of bits while multitasking. The first one was Akiba's Trip, which is far from high art but the over the top parodies of pretty much everything around all sorts of geek culture were really funny and it was better than I expected it to be. It's still got the "evil creatures that can only be defeated by removing their clothes" element as you'd expect but enjoyed it. Other one I decided to watch on a whim was 16 Bit Sensation : Another Layer, it's about a games artist who feels constrained by the developer she works at just churning out cheap and easy visual novels. After visiting a mysterious games shop she finds herself travelling back in time (it's the title of the first episode, don't think it'd count as a spoiler!) and meeting up with a small development studio. It does switch as the series going on to being a bit... stranger... but found myself going along for the ride with all the twists and turns and really enjoyed it. Managed to keep the heart and humour as it got further out and while a couple of episodes took things out of the initial premise somewhat, it was enough to keep me watching. What impressed me most about it - spoiler for those who've seen it
  7. After a bit of a break I'm coming towards the end of the Summer break and definitely haven't made the most of various bonds due to poor time management but I'm getting there. What I will say though is Koromaru is the bestest boy, yes he is.

    As with many, Leo kind of has you covered
  9. Well... I guess it kind of works. I learned after hanging out with a classmate there were better things I could do, like study or teach a bunch of kids how to run faster and I do get some satisfaction of slowly walking past him looking expectantly at me from his desk at the end of the school day.
  10. I caved and bought this... Despite limited gaming time these days, I've still found myself playing for 11 hours, I'm not long past May mid-terms but loving it so far. Can't wait to gain more party members so I don't have to put up with Junpei all the time but so far I've really got in to it. I promptly joined the track and field team and started humiliating all these posers for being rubbish and, started hanging out with the manager who's clearly realised I'm head and shoulders better than everyone else in every way. I'm pretty sure I've aced the midterms so look forward to studying hard to apply myself to a good college and entry exams next year. Combat and all that is fine, I'd just rather hang out with my school mates, until everything inevitably goes wrong because I'm too much of a nerd to do anything else and let my future athletics career go to shit because I spend all day in the library.
  11. I think years ago I might have tried to play a Persona game on the PS3/4 (damned if I remember, I didn't actually get to play much of it) but I'm tempted to jump on the hype train and give 3 Reloaded a go - and maybe play others if I enjoy it - any basic recommendations for a newbie? Biggest question I have though, can I control my party members? I saw something that said you couldn't do so, but they added it in for the portable version later? I'd probably pick it up better if I'm not half relying on AI acting out of my control!
  12. Fair play to them because they've clearly worked hard at doing so. All that training has been paying off.
  13. That was almost one of the great throws in sporting history. Got away with it just about but it felt inevitable that Wales would somehow get out of jail.
  14. It took them about 10 minutes to notice that the celebration might just have been mocking Maddison. It's safe to say that neither of them are blessed with any form of eye sight
  15. Blythe Spartans apparently did in 1978, a handful of conference national sides have done it but you're right, Lincoln at the moment are the only team to have gone a step further than that. There's a couple of potential ties that could see Maidstone do the unthinkable and go as far as Lincoln which would be amazing. Teams like Coventry aren't going to be much harder than going to Ipswich and getting a result.
  16. It's about the same as Harlow Town beating Leicester in 1980. It's a massive result, and I feel slightly better about Stevenage failing to win at their artificial pitch now. We won't be the shock of the tournament thankfully!
  17. Prison Architect 2 announced, coming out in a couple of months.
  18. What a lively start Brentford/Wolves has had...
  19. The Chiefs/Raiders game has been some of the best Nuffle I've seen in years. Fantastic christmas entertainment.
  20. An argument could be that he doesn't flap if he's not being held on to which leaves the chance on around the defensive blundering. Fortunate to get away with it but can see why it was given.
  21. Literally the only time I'd really heard that mentioned as a genre was in Chart Wars way back when, it was used for Evanescence and Nightwish pretty much exclusively from memory so I assume it's essentially Symphonic Rock/Metal, I've given up trying to identify what genres are these days though. I only need two "shit I like and shit I don't like".
  22. Has everybody got little video messages from their most listened artist on Spotify? My most listened artist was Babymetal who did a little "thank you for listening to us" message which was nice. Given my music is split quite a bit between full albums on my phone and Spotify is only background stuff when at home which meant I was a bit surprised that Alestorm, Gloryhammer or Sabaton didn't appear but as most of my listening there has been out and about and not logged with them they didn't make an appearance.
  23. Ended up treating myself to two of the Babymetal UK dates with both being in London, was meant to be going to Wolverhampton tonight but lift fell through and won't home in time for work tomorrow going by train. It was an amazing couple of nights and the Roundhouse was bouncing throughout. I've liked them almost since I first came across them about a decade ago but at the moment they seem to be getting better and better. Last nights show was the 13th anniversary of their first appearance as a sub-unit of the idol group they got their start in and it's amazing to think that they still seem to be getting better, not bad for a gimmicky act who were told they would fail and teachers warned them "don't get too disheartened when you fail and please keep trying to perform".
  24. Things are so bad for the Jets that Lineker is using all of his clout to show their incompetence to the nation on Breakfast. Didn't expect an interception being returned for a touchdown to be deemed that newsworthy but here we are!

    Cover Songs

    We're at the point where christmas songs begin to dominate the airwaves now so I apologise for this one. Tarja has decided that she's going old school and doing a seasonal album full of covers of various pop songs fitting the time of year. Overall, it's not likely to be an album that gets a lot of airplay but I'm liking that she's given this stuff a really haunting gothic quality.
