Any game where the only way to win is to toss harder than the other team isn't a game that interests me.

belittlement makes it even worse.
apart from that where did I write it was an "illness"? Quote please.
either way, i dont care at all about mankind anymore.

You said that people do these things as a result of being an internet zombie. That implies that using the internet a lot is some sort of disorder which leads you to do things other "normal" people wouldn't do.

Being an "internet zombie" is a symptom not an illness.

Have a shower then do some 2-ce or something. You'll remember everything but you won't give a fuck.

You should be paying tax but probably not that much. 20% on £100 doesn't sound right. I had the same problem with that when I started my job I have now. I'm on £1k a month and I was getting taxed £250 or something. Call HMRC, gave them my tax code, said it was wrong and sorted it. Got a nice rebate when I figured it out too.

NYE party. Drugs but no girls. Friends with the host, never really got on with anyone else going. Can I be bothered?
I was originally meant to be going to a party for the transgender community but the person who invited me I don't think is going anymore. Would've been up for that.
Honestly might rather just stay at home and relax at this stage.

No, in that gardener kill, he wasn't detected by the other guy at all. I actually did it today in a similar position and the same thing happened, the cone of vision for AIs is pretty small but that's not really a bad thing. It is a game after all, if it was that realistic then you'd have to do everything perfectly.

Ok yeah so Football Manager, am I right?

I played the matches up until Christmas like a month ago so I don't remember much about them. I seem to remember my faith in Wochnik starting to wane. He's still got the talent but I guess teams are starting to shut him down as much as possible. But then I might be giving the AI in this game too much credit. Regardless, it's been a bit shit since then. We lost those two games against Dortmund and HSV but fortunately neither team were THAT close to use so it wasn't the end of the world. A dominant win in the cup too.

We dropped down to 3rd upon losing agaisnt HSV, but the two clubs that were worrying us slipped up a little too, but evidentally not as much as we did. The thing that worried me right now is that the next match against Schalke is going to ultimately decide the champion and there's no way we can beat them. Remember that the goal of this is to win some manner of silverware, so we have an alternative route in the form of the cup. Through to the quarter finals now and I'd say there's only one team in the pot that I don't have any confidence in beating. That club being Schalke. Who we drew. So we probably won't win anything after all.

No, I think you're missing the point. The video highlights bugs. But it doesn't do it very well. In fact a lot of the things in that video he would've got shot to fuck just after the cut. Some of the reactions are a little off in the game. Particularly in set pieces as you can see from the parts where he's killing those doctors. I've not really experimented much with the tunnel vision but it seems oretty bad in this video. Haven't really tried to exploit it like that though so nothing I can say there.
That king of Chinatown kill is awesome though. Either incredibly luck or he knew exactly where he was going to go and planned that out. It does look dodgy but notice how noone other than the guy he kills sees him with the knife. Other people get suspicious as you can see from the minimap. Oh, and the ice cream truck in the desert is an easter egg.

Really though, the gameplay isn't the problem with the game at all. There are small bugs and some things which are seem gamey when you watch it like that, but you don't notice it when you're playing it. The problem is that the second act (from part in the hotel to I don't know where because I got this and Farcry at the same time and Farcry is better) is like the opposite of a Hitman game. Most of the time you're trying to avoid getting caught rather than plotting a hit. It's a solid game but I stick the thing I've said the whole time, it feels more like Splinter Cell than Hitman. A good Splinter Cell game to be fair, but still. It's decent enough thoough.

If you're interested in getting it, wait to see if it pops up as one of the daily deals on the Steam sale. If it does, then get it.. If not, then the generic sale price of £22 of it is probably a fair price but I wouldn't go for it at full whack.

There must be something that Bian's been doing right to be fair, even if it's seeing his inane replies to every other post to every other thread in the FM sections.

Either that or he's got some dirt on Skacel.

One thing he did do well was make it look like... a lot of the time if someone asks a question and noone knows the answer or it's a stupid/pointless question then people will just ignore it. Bian would reply with something tedious but he was making people feel welcome which was always been with this site. It's not as bad as it was when I joined now that the off topic on topic FM thread isn't there, but he helped. But the help he did isn't on the same level as the help most of the other mods do. It's not actual content or anything interesting, it's just being nice.
But mostly because he sucked Skacels dick.

The Autumn/Christmas before he should have gone, especially after Bolton at home which left us with 10 points from 17 games.

Anyway, if this happens then I'd definitely consider not going until the lot of them f*ck off - and I can't remember the last home game I missed:

Look at the f*cking state.

I'm sorry, but that is fucking hilarious.

Has he been made staff there? It's pretty hard to be heavily involved with 2 forums, if it's the case.

You mean because of all that hard work he did on here?
I mean... I get what he used to do in the FM sections but even so everything he said was so fucking tedious. He was (usually) an alright enough guy but you couldn't put him in the same catagory as a lot of the content producing staff members in terms of hard work and effort put in. Even Franck does a better job of modding than Bian did. Mostly because he's a power freak but still.

Yep. Should just ask you if you want to set up a new account or use an old one when you switch it on. You obviously won't have your saves etc though.

Not really, For Blackburn it's imperative they return at the first time of asking else risk losing all their best players, Fair play to the board who realized their mistake, Berg wasn't the man to do that and quickly got rid of him before they slipped out of the promotion picture entirely.

They haven't realised their mistake though. Berg wasn't the mistake, he wasn't a great manager, but he came in after the transfer window had closed into a team full of mercenaries who were already on poor form. They presented him with a shambles and told him to fix it. With what? The backroom staff were the same and there was already a certain man with his fingers in too many pies. So what then different tactics? You're not going to motivate players to give a shit by encouraging them to play a more conservative game. He was fucked from the moment he joined and they only thing Venkys have succeeded in doing is make Blackburn look like even more of a joke.
If Hughes goes there he's an idiot.

Did Brighton not play today btw?

Nope. Our game against Millwall was pushed forward for some reason. I guess there were too many Boxing Day games in London or something. Either way, we have a game in hand which could put us into the top 6.

It seems like a mixture. Berg can't be an amazing manager but it's like... I don't know it doesn't seem like he's been given much control. The tricky thing is, if he leaves now or is fired for whatever reason, then who's going to want that job? Even if it's not Venkys fault that the team isn't performing now (which I doubt) then it's still going to look like they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
