Gonna go out on a limb and say your a fan of rugby... sorry bout that. what do you mean cover up? The AFL hasn't covered up any team beatings that was public news as soon as it happened, they have a three strike policy for drug users, Ben Cousins if that is who you are referring to was never convicted of drug charges and never tested positive whilst playing and women bashings.. gonna guess your referring to Jeff Farmer who well i don't consider him a human being and Wayne Carey who hasn't been football relevant for sometime now. Just because footy is better than rugby What was it, a four match ban for punching and then kicking whilst on the ground? If that had happened in league, they would have been banned for most of the season. If you have a lot of time on your hands, have a lookie through some of this thread here. The rape incident on the first page in particular. I'm not saying the NRL is picture perfect, but when a player does infringe they deal with them harshly instead of trying to protect their players, see Greg Bird and Todd Carney recently, two of the star players in the league but both having their contracts torn up. John Hopoate received 15 or so weeks for an elbow to the head in an attempted shoulder charge in 2005, which was at least part of the play and not deliberately knocking them out and kicking them.

How many team mate beatings, druggos and women bashings will the AFL cover up this year?

Emma Watson and Miley Cyrus are probably the two teenage celebrities that top my list.

I 'unno, I find Dead Air pretty easy compared to the others, it's just long. The finale is a piece of cake, you just get one guy on the machine gun and the other three on top of the truck. But yeah, Blood Harvest can be a bitch. The first map on that is way harder than all the others first ones.

Been away for a while as my laptop had to be fixed and then I'm moving this Saturday interstate (well, kinda anyway >_>), but I should have internet access from my dorm room at Uni, so I'll definitely be up for another in a couple of weeks.

Also, it's pronounced 'Anick'? I've been pronouncing it 'Alnwick' (ie. how it's bloody spelt) for years

Taraabt was at least going forward, which is what we needed. He was the only Spurs player today who could beat his man. I thought Bale was great when he came on. He has that extra speed which O'Hara lacks to get behind his fullback, and is probably a better crosser of the ball.

I think this is just one of those random link stories. 'Hmm, Jol's selling a centre mid, Huddlestone has just been a sub lately, Jol used to coach Huddlestone, I know!' But if Huddlestone does get sold when Redknapp doesn't want to sell Jenas, I'll fly myself to Engerland and take to Redknapp's knees with a metal pipe :@

Woah. Man. Just had the best finale ever on No Mercy. I never really get excited about video games, but this was just awesome. In the first four levels, we were trash. I was with two mates and a random, and I'd hardly been in a team this bad before. It didn't help that whenever we got a tank it went to the mate who had hardly played any versus before, and didn't know how to properly use it. So both times he had it he did less than 100 damage combined. Whereas their tank kicked our ass. In the first 4 maps we only got into one safe house (on the subway, with two people. I got huntered just outside the building and told them to leave me and go in, but the random tried to be a hero and got killed as well), whereas they got in the subway one with all four, the sewers with 2 and the hospital with all 4. The score going into the finale was 2688 vs. about 600. We thought there was no way we could win. They were the survivors first and we're doing pretty well (we tried the roof ambush but I just missed my jump as hunter which screwed it up a bit) until the mate who was new got tank again. Naturally I thought 'Shit, he's gonna get smashed again' but somehow he managed to knock all four down with the first tank, meaning they got a score of 200. We went next and got to the radio without incident (I beat off their roof attempt as I first molotov'd the roof and then came off the ladder just meleeing like wild). We'd been playing expert on No Mercy earlier, where the tank is an absolute badass and one hit kills with everything. We tried luring the tank with one person running off to the helipad and using the minigun on the tank, but the tank on expert is just too damn smart and kept going for the guy on the gun. Anyway, we thought we'd try this again when the first tank came after absolutely kicking ass during the first swarm, with all of us still in green health without using any medpacks. So when the tank came I ran off to the helipad, it followed and got molotov'd from the roof before being minigun'd. When it realised what was happening it turned around and chased off someone else, meaning I could get onto the roof of a nearby building and shotgun it from pretty much directly above. We killed the tank this way, got together on the roof again for the second swarm, demolished that and then used the exact same strategy for the second tank and they fell for it again. We got on the helicopter with all of us in green health (I thought it was no medpacks used but apparently one of us got hit by the tanks and had to use two medpacks, but he was the only one (I know I only lost about 25 health during the finale and two of the others seemed about the same)) so we got a score of about 2300. The end score? 2983 to 2888, we win. Best comeback I've ever seen, I didn't think we even had a chance of winning beforehand.

I Am Alive, which is supposed to come out this year. Also Mass Effect 2 and Assassins Creed 2 may come out this year but both look to be 2010 projects.

How many late goals has Cahill scored this season? That's all I hear about Everton >_>

No one's replying because you didn't add 'Discuss.' at the end.

Opening day has been under way for a while, with most the favourites progressing. But the main reason I made the thread is because two Brits are already out and an Aussie youngster just progressed into the second round >_>

I really hope Pav isn't out for too long, as Darren Bent has been rubbish lately. If he is injured, I'd rather see Campbell get a start, as he'd probably link with Defoe better than Bent would, but that's mainly because Bent can't link with anyone. And BAE is back next match, so we'll hopefully start winning again >_>

Cheers. I'd be up for another right away, mainly cos I'll be leaving home in a few weeks and don't know what my net access will be like. Are there others apart from the F1 and BTCC we could do? The Indy500 one sounds interesting, the V8 one as well but apparently that lasts for ages. Another F1 game would be good but I'd probably prefer more players this time around.

This is why I hate Chelsea :@ (amongst various other reasons)

Any two of O'Hara, Huddlestone or Zokora in central midfield is better than one that contains Jenas. Jenas on his day can be awesome, but his days are too far apart and he's far too inconsistent.

In about 5% of games, yeah. In the others, it's almost like playing with ten men as he has no effect on the game at all. When he came against Wigan, I saw him involved twice. The first time he passed it straight to the opposition, the second he missed the header for their goal. He was also dreadful in our last league loss beforehand (against Stoke was it? I'm too tired to think back that far >_>). His last good game was against Arsenal and that's pretty much just for his goal. He does do the odd really good, even brilliant, piece of play but most of the time he's rubbish.

Never seen any of the pathblocking on PC. Most games go well, do get the odd wanker who just want to rush straight to the safe room or who have no idea what they're doing, but it's generally rare. Oh wait, I forgot. You're playing with Americans, I'm playing with Aussies

Final race of the year! Standings are as follows: 1. Aaron Downie - 100 2. Fraser Dutch - 94 3. Matthew Smith - 91 4. Shivraj Sillett - 74 5. Liam Byrne - 67 6. Michael Silfies - 59 7. Mark McGaw - 54 8. Barry McGuigan - 50 9. Joe Blowen - 29 10. Justin Howe - 27 11. Tom Delgado - 20 Any of the top 3 can win it from here, but if I get 4th or above I can't lose it. Will be interesting!

Ahoy ahoy, Steam us up, Scotty.

Was it you who I tried to convince to get the free trial ages ago, but you never got around to it? Anyway, I downloaded the free trial off an unmetered site, but because it was outdated they wanted to download over a gig more in updates AND the Moria expansion pack as well. If I have nothing better to do in Canberra in a few months (likely) I might give it a go then. Played the trial ages ago and it was great, but it was on my old PC so it eventually lagged too much and became unplayable
