I have driven an automatic ever since I got my licence.

Manual is all about practice and experience though, drive one every day for a year and you won't need to think about the clutch and all that while driving, you'll do it subconsciously.

That said, getting stuck in traffic with a manual is awful, which is why I'd never choose it for a daily driver.

Installed an anti-virus program for the first time in three years today and ran a full scan, it found nothing malicious.

I honestly cannot understand what people must be doing to be getting viruses on their computers.

There is probably a conflict somewhere. Try removing all graphics except the regen replacements and see if they show in game.

Is the file with the images still there in your graphics folder?

Have you installed any other graphics?

Have you used the Steam Workshop for anything?

I occasionally play the game, usually go a couple of months without playing before I get the urge back, start a new save and play for a couple of weeks before I get bored again and quit. Same pattern has repeated itself over the last few years.

I really should quit the game entirely though.

Happy to see United win, don't want you boys doing so badly that Moyes gets the sack

United are going to win the whole thing now, you just watch!

It's quite funny, in a bad way, that our 40 year old left winger has been our best center midfielder this season.

Giggs hasn't really been a left winger for about 6 years.

You can also find answers to a lot of the typical questions people would come to a forum for in the past just by using google.

Just googling FM14 wonderkids will bring up a bunch of blogs and such with much more information than we've got here.

Hate having a stiff neck.

The Wolf of Wall Street.

I can't really make up my mind about it. On one hand there's some solid acting performances, the kind of production values that you'd expect from a film directed by Scorsese and a few genuine laughs, on the other hand I can't really make out whether the film was meant to be satire or a serious biopic glorifying an asshole and it's definitely at least 45 minutes too long. The only thing I know for sure is that Margot Robbie is fucking hot.

FM-Base has a lot of tactics discussion and the official forum is as active as ever.

The scene in general is dying out though, a lot less active forums than there used to be.

That's a shame. It used to be absolutely packed just a couple of years ago.

Most of the old regulars have grown up and don't have the time and/or interest to hang around on forums like they used to while the flow of new blood has virtually dried up completely.

Honestly these minor media issues annoy me a whole lot less than the idiotic AI team building and transfer policy.

Yeah, if moving the positions around doesn't work there might be an issue worth reporting to SI at work.

From my understanding it's meant to be a more serious simulation more akin to the GTR series than Forza or GT.

When I think about it, players can get injured because they were bitten by a dog in game, right?

I think there's a few other injury reasons like that. I know I saw a funny one before but I can't remember what it was.

It's a cool little Easter egg if you could call it that.

Southampton appointing Ralph Krueger as chairman is awesome. Might well be the Most Interesting Man in the World.

Just watched the finale of True Detective. Fuck me was this series great. Best thing on TV since The Wire ended.

If Matthew McConaughey doesn't win an Emmy for it I'll eat my hat. Him and Harrelson will be a tough act to follow for whomever ends up being cast for season 2.

lol, David O. Russell's a talentless jackass?

Nah, but if I'd only seen American Hustle I might actually think that.

Three Kings is awesome and I liked Silver Linings.

Dallas Buyers Club

A sloppy piece of film-making littered with easily avoidable anachronisms that is saved by two excellent acting performances. Matthew McConaughey's Oscar is well deserved.
