So, can you actually order the game from play.com now? Or is it just up there for viewing?

Ok, is it possible to have proper opponents in the game? By proper I mean, that they hire real actors for their films.... because in the oscars (mogies) at the end of the year in my game they're always fake actors/directors/etc. working for the other companies.

Thanks alot you guys, why they gotta make it so complicated? I mean, it's almost like they didn't make the sport for us brits.

They're not new but I'd really recommend getting them since you can pick them up cheap. Deus Ex Grim Fandango As for newer games Global Power Medievil: Total War (Though, I think Rome: Total War is coming out soon.) Far Cry Battlefield 1942

Ok, wasn't sure whether to put this in the sports bar or not. If its in the wrong place i apologise. Anyhoo, I need some kind American/Canadian/All-knowing hockey guru to explain some of the rules surrounding hockey. Just the more complicated ones, not during games but stuff like drafts and that. Being english we never get that stuff explained over here. so yeh, if someone can explain the whole draft system and explain waivers to me it'd be greatly appreciated. EDIT ~ Also, to avoid starting a new topic, i'm looking to buy Battle Royale the book, but I'm unsure what it looks like (And I can't find proper info on them on Amazon) Basically I wanna make sure i'm buying the original novel and not the manga. So if someone could show me what the novel looks like or something then that would really help

Yeah i think we can include Pixar characters but I reckon animated characters only.. other wise we're getting into films like The Mighty Ducks... Unless of course you guys wanna include non-animated characters?

Could someone kindly point me in the direction of a decent real world update for the game? I have one but I don't really like it. Also, is it possible to release films straight to video in the game? If so, how?

I'm gonna have to stick up for Brad Pitt here, he has been in some awesome films.... Fight Club, Ocean's Eleven, Seven... Not to mention his brilliant character in Twelve Monkeys.

Yup, so basically this is the same as the top 50 video games and top 50 actors, you guys vote for the greatest Disney characters of all time and i'll count up the votes to make the list. I'll start us off with a few. Genie (Aladdin) Jack Skellington (Nightmare Before Christmas) Prince John (Robin Hood) Hades (Hercules) Tigger (Winnie The Pooh) Oh, could you also put the name of the film next to your votes so it makes it easier for me. Thanks.

dunno how to react to that. good signing obviously, but he's only gonna sit on the bench when Ruud comes back.... still, 4 good strikers means we can rest people like Smith and Ruud without risking too much. Like we did in the treble season with Yorke, Cole, Solskjaer and Sheringham.

I actually think this looks pretty decent. I'll give it a look at least.

That would be an awful idea. The whole reason the clock doesn't stop is so the game can flow (with regards to throw ins and goal kicks) at a decent pace without the ref having to tell the players when to restart every single time.

FF8 Only 33rd? Bah... This list now needs Flashback to save it

What a surprise... Arsenal have the easiest draw of the lot. Sure ours isn't all that hard but when do Arsenal ever get stuck with a tough draw? On a sidenote... buh-bye Celtic! EDIT ~ And this is exactly why we're gonna draw Leeds in the FA Cup. Larsson goes to Barca, they draw Celtic. Mourinho goes to Chelsea, they draw Porto. It ALWAYS happens!

We definately do not need Rooney. I dont particularly want him either. I mean Smith is awesome at the moment and he can't be left out and you don't leave out Van Nistelrooy so Rooney will spend his time on the bench keeping Saha out who'll then want to leave. So no, we'll pass on that one.

Nightmare Before Christmas rules all. Other than that, Robin Hood and Aladdin are the best older ones. (Aladdin PURELY for Robin Williams) Newer ones, Toy Story and Finding Nemo are awesome

I don't have proof, it's impossible to get that kind of proof unless she openly admits it. But doesn't it seem suspicious to you that she dropped out right after the 4th place woman passed her and then proceeded to cry like she had just lost out on a medal... oh... and she may have been checked over but according to what was on the news just now.. "they found no signs of injury" Correct.

Wondered how long it'd take for the "you go and do it" argument to come out. Newsflash, I'm not a professional athlete. I couldn't run the marathan. She is. She can. And she was injured yeah? Where'd you get that from? Show me proof that she was injured and i'll take back everything in my other post. The only excuse which has been given is that she was exhausted, fair enough... but so was everyone else. She didn't have the bottle to carry on knowing she wouldn't get a medal and while I respect everything she's done.... I don't respect what she did today. I wouldn't have a problem if she dropped out because of injury, but I do have a problem with her dropping out just because she wasn't gonna get a medal. That's like all the teams in the premiership bar the big 3 saying "well, we aint gonna win the league this year... may as well not bother...it's too tiring to compete and not win anything"

Wow. Paula Radcliffe showed what the olympics is all about huh? I mean... you're not gonna win a medal so you quit. That's spirit for ya. Never mind the fact that there's a ton of people who'd kill to be in the Olympics... hell even those that were there and at the back finished. Most of them turned up, knowing they wouldn't get a medal, but they still competed in the spirit of the games. It's ridiculous that such a brilliant athlete couldn't finish the race and accept that on the day she couldn't quite do it. There's no shame in that, as long as you give it your all... hell even if she had pretty much walked to the end it would've been acceptable. And all the stuff about the heat is rubbish, it's the same for all the other athletes and they managed to cope with it. And you can't say that the other atheltes are used to it either. She knew the olympics would be in athens, where it's hot, so she should be training to acclimatise to those conditions. And it's not like she's never run in that kind of whether. The Japanese girl that won it trained in Switzerland! Completely different whether and she managed to win the race... so that kind of negates the heat argument in my opinion. No matter how many people comment about all of Paula's hard work, the bottom line is that all the other athletes put in the same amount of work and it's pretty disgraceful for somebody to drop out just because they aren't going to win a medal... it's also very disrespectful to the other athletes who were probably looking forward to racing against her. Chambers tested positvely for drugs meaning that, due to British Olympic laws, he'll never compete in the Olympics again. However, I think he got a two year ban or something like that.

Um... I could be wrong (haven't checked) but I always thought that blue-bottomed discs were CD's and not DVD's as said befpore in the topic.

Haha... were you watching the same game? Djemba was by far and away the best out of our midfielders today. Miller was poor, giggs was awful and the less said about O'Shea the better. I think Djemba had a decent game today and on Wednesday as well as being one of the better players in pre-season. We didn't deserve to lose today but that's the way it goes, i'm sure in a few weeks we'll win when we don't deserve to. The performance today has left me feeling pretty confident anyway. Shame we've gotta wait till next week for the Norwich match because of another joke of an England game.

The reason for this topic is that I was talking to a friend earlier about horror films and I came to the conclusion that there's no such thing as a scary film. Not that I have seen anyway. I've seen all the big name "horror" type films (Scream, The Shining, Texas Chainsaw Massacre etc etc.) And I've seen some of the lesser known ones as well (Wicker man is the only one which springs to mind right now.) Basically all these films have one thing in common, they've never scared me. Sure some scenes made cringe at the gore, some made me jump.... but that's more shock than anything. I don't remember a time when I film has ever truly "scared" me... and i'm not someone who doesn't get scared... for example I hate walking up stairs in the dark, it scares me... It's like the Resident Evil series... it was always more about shock tactics than true horror. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the games alot, but all they did was make me jump... I was never "scared", if that makes sense. I think that's why I enjoy Silent Hill so much... it's probably the only game/film that has ever scared me (SIlent Hill 2 especially). Not "OMG... I'm gonna have nightmares! I gotta turn this off!" Not that type of scary. But it was more psychological. Fearing what you can't see and all that... it really appeals to me. I would so love if they made an SH movie... but if it turned into an action film like Resident Evil did, then it would immediately lose it's appeal to me. So I guess the main thing for me, with regards to horror, is that less is more almost... you don't always need the "action" as in blood and guts, but what appeals to me is when things are left psychological.... where you are actually left to think about what's happened. It makes it far scarier, and ultimately more enjoyable, in my opinion. Anyhoo, my question to you guys is what makes a good horror film/game for you? And what films/games actually scare you?

Absolutely correct sam, people always look on the neville's as a joke when in fact they've been solid performers for United and England for years. Gary especially, has improved alot in recent years and has turned into one of england's best defenders IMO.

FC Omega will rule the world....ahem... I mean league...yes league. *Cue maniacal laughter* No? Oh...ok
