You can only be in Starfleet? Bastards. Cardassians are clearly the way to go.

Yes, I am aware the game will be set in a timeframe when Cardassia has been royally trounced, but all the better - to bring the Union back to its former glory!

I love this game and I hate it at the same time.

There so much extra little stuff in the game that makes it great but I can't seem to get a good formation. I wanted to get used to the game so started as Man Utd thinking to myself, after I figure out what all these new features do I can start with a lower team and challenge myself. I just about manage to scrape a win past Debracen in the CLQ and follow up with a loss to Middlesborogh. The team's good enough to be a top contender so it must be the tactics.

I tried to start another game as United and this time I once again narrowly qualified in the CLQ beating Trabzoner 2-1 and then went on to lose and get totally demolished against Chelsea at home. I also lost to Sunderland. Bastards.

Not sure what's wrong but I got frustrated so I'm gonna take a break and then go back to it. Hopefully I have more luck next time.

Anyone who's having some success wanna give me some tips? Mostly tactics related as that's where it looks like I'm fucking up but anything would be great.

People said that Chelsea having this money is good for football.

Fuck off is it, they just run around like they own fucking everything.

They need to dock them points and ban them from transfers for at least 6 months imo.

Adding to that, Chelsea charging fans up to £30 to have their picture taken with the Premiership trophy. I got mine with the Premiership, Charity Shiled and season unbeaten trohpy for free.

I don't think that's right, to be honest. Anakin was afraid that Padme would die because his dreams about his mother had come true, and seemingly the only way he could save her was through Palpatine. When he at first turned, I don't think he realised what he'd done.

When he thinks Padme betrays him, his anger is most likely because he feels that his turning to the Dark Side was for nothing now. This anger makes him even more enveloped by the dark side, and when he is placed in the Vader mask, he realises the error of hurting Padme, and is regrettful. Once Palpatine tells him he killed Padme, his anger at himself is what makes him the cold, heartless bastard we see in later movies (probably to avoid grief).

Yes he dreams of being the most powerful Jedi ever and ruling the galaxy, but I don't believe he turned for those reasons. I believe he turned for the reason he stated; to save his wife from death.

Same old Chelsea...Always Cheating...

But disappointed with Arnesen. The guys been doing a great job for Spurs. A lot of the good signings we've made have been attributed to him, and the 'European' style of organising the club (Footballing Director, 1st Team Manager, Assistant) paid dividends when Santini bailed on us. Tottenham have the potential to go places FINALLY IMO, and now he wants to leave.

Bugger!

A Few thoughts:

What I wanna know is how it took them 18 fucking years to build the damn Death Star, considering the outside of the thing looked about 40% complete. That's some slow friggin work don't ya think?

OK. I've read practically all of the EU Star Wars books, apart from the New Jedi Order ones and the prequel tie-ins.

My Favourites include:

Thrawn Trilogy- The closest we're likely to get to episodes 7-9. Star Destroyers, Space battles, lightsabers and the coolest baddies ever since Vader.

Truce at Bakura- Starts the DAY after ROTJ.

X-Wing series- Explores the lives of the star-fighter pilots of the new republic. Set in between 'Bakura' and the 'Thrawn' books. Inspired by the best-selling PC game. Features a lot of perifiral characters (Wedge Antillies, Akbar, Jansen, Hobbie.) also see the series of cool graphic novels.

Darksaber-pretty cool book. Good story.

I couldn't stand the Jedi Academy books. After the very serious style of writing that Timothy Zahn churns out, KJ Anderson's stories seemed a-bit like they were written for a 'young adult/ teen' audience. It's a shame as this is an important time in the Extended Universe series, Luke setting up the Jedi Academy that features in so many of the later stories.

Definatly check out the Rogue Squadron series. The only Star Wars books that I have read more than about three times. And they don't even have the main characters in!

Davies is off?

WTF?

He's our best Right Winger! I've always rated him as one of our better players, and aside from his period out with injury he's always served the club well. Hell I've had his name on my shirt for the last 3 seasons.

Who's gonna play up the right next season? Marney is a possibility, but I don't think he's the finished article yet. All the Beckham rumours were tantalising but that ain't gonna happen. Hopefully Arnesen has has a coupla top quality dutch blokes lined up to replace him.

And as for the FPLeague, well I'll accept any way into Europe next season. Hell it'd be a great laugh if we actually won it.

Make sure you've got your driving stat up for starters.

At the start if I recall right, there's a bit where all the racers drive off down a series of tight turns to get down a big hill. You can cut left after the first one and bypass the actual turns, jumping down the side of the hill. If you come out in front then you have a good lead.

There is one other bit that's really tricky, where you run through a farm. It's really easy to run into a fence or building and get stuck.

And dont think that you have to be going fast all the time, tight, neat turns are the order of the day, just accellerate hard for the long straights.

That might be the official 'line' on the objects. If that's what they are then it's a weird way to model them in game.

'Shooting stars' are meteors burning as they fall through the athmosphere, most burn up well before the Earth's surface, though some do make it that far and impact.

This object changed direction several times, and was not falling at all. It had the traits of something under powered flight, like the other aircraft in the game changing altitude and direction. It was also (in game terms) quite low in the in the athmosphere.

If Rockstar wanted to include an object that looked like a shooting star from the ground then I imagine that the route they'de go would be to create a 'game object' in the upper athmosphere of the game map, in other words not have something flying 'round where the player could run across it in an aircraft.

I know that there has been lots of 'debunking' of the various myths about GTA:SA for a while now. Thought that I'd throw my hat into the ring about the UFO sightings.

I'd just finished 'vertical bird', the mission where you steal the 'Hydra' VTOL fighter (based on the Harrier Jump-Jet). I decided to go for a flight in my new military fighter.

I took off, and was cruising over Mulholland on my way to the Grove when I saw a blue/white pulsing light, with a faint white trail following it.

I thought it was a high flying passanger jet, with vapour trails coming off the wings, so I started to climb towards it-thinking I'd test the Hydra's weapons. I soon found out that I was closer than I'd thought, it wasn't a high flying jet, but a ball of light at about the same altitude as me. I followed it quite closely for a while, I couldn't get a target lock on it, so just fired my missiles in a big salvo, strafing the target from side to side. all the missiles detonated before getting anywhere near the UFO, and I was quite close to it at the time.

I continued trailing it till it started to climb through cloud and I lost sight of it, when I emerged I could still see the trail stretching into the distance, but the UFO was gone.

Anyone else had brushes with balls of light while flying? I don't have a link to my PC, or a digicam I'm afraid, so I can't provide pictures.

Confirmed Myths

Ghost Cars

There ARE ghost cars in Back O' Beyond in the South of San Fierro. They are beat-up Glendales near the large rocks in the shape of horseshoes. If you attempt to take them to an auto-shop, you can change the colour but you cannot repair them. If you move them from their place. Another ghost car will spawn at the top of the hill and roll down into place of the other one. There will be no driver.

Plane Crashes

I've witnessed one firsthand. It happened in the middle of the street. Whilst these happen rarely, it's said that Mt. Chilliad is a place where it's common to see planes crash.

UFO Map

Near Area 51 in Las Venturas there is a place called The Probe Inn. Inside there is a map on the wall. This map has several dots on it. These are locations where you are most likely to see weird ass shit like UFO's. Whether UFO's actually exist is another matter.

Demolished Trees

In Back O' Beyond there are many cut up trees and some 'gooey trees' which seem like glitches in the game.

Brown Lake

Also in Back O' Beyond, the lake nearby has brown coloured water and is meant to bubble at certain times.

Myths Unconfirmed:

Bigfoot

Lots of people have said they've seen him. From most of the descriptions he's tall, has a big round body and round head and has thin arms and legs. No-one's been able to catch him, the biggest excuse has been that he runs about 4 times as fast as anything on the game. Commonly seen running past in the distance. Key places are Back O' Beyond and around Mt. Chilliad

UFO's

People have claimed to have seen green orbs in the sky (air planes have flashing red lights so it's not them) and some have gone as far as saying that beams of light have shot down nearby.

Loch Ness Monster

Try swimming East of Los Santos. A few have claimed to have seen it peeking above the water but when you go below it has disappeared.

The Tree With The Face

Back O' Beyond again. People have claimed to have seen a tree with face like features.

Flame Thrower Circle

Again in Back O' Beyond there is a flame thrower surrounded in a circle of trees. It's said that using it to light the trees does something.

Leatherface

On the southern farms on San Fierro there is a chainsaw spawn in the middle of a crop field. Supposedly going here at a specific time a farmer resembling Leatherface will chase you away.

Sharks

Too many people mistake Dolphins for them.

There's more, I just can't remember them all. There's something strange afoot.

I stole a Taxi and started doing some R3 missions for cash. Got up to about 50 drop offs and had to ditch the car. So I got out.

Before entering the taxi I'd maxed out the muscle bar. While in the taxi the energy bar went down, and he started to lose muscle.

When he got out, he was skinny as a rake. It was weird, him shrinking while doing the cab-jobs, guess it really took a lot out of him!

I've also been laughing my ass off at some of 'Tommy Nightmare's links on the radio. Also the comercials are really off the wall.

And is it just me, but did the voice actors get paid 'by-the-fuck.' I know Sam 'The-Motherfucking-Man' Jackson is in it but WOW, more swearing than season 1 of The Osbournes.

This is actually a cool idea.

'The Official <insert username here> Appreciation thread.'

It could be a regular thing.

Lets all think of something NICE and POSITIVE to say about IWC children.

I'll go first.

I like IWC's...

Laugh.

BWA-HA-HA!

Cool diary Public Enemy, Like the way U R using the main characters, and the HHH/Taker fued looks 2 B a winner, especially if ya do a HIAC (Taker to win... Taker to win).

Its well written and the characters seem spot-on. Well done I look forward to the next instalment.
