#32476 Capital One Cup 2012/13
Boone
What I would give for any player from the 03/04 team to be on that pitch. Not necessarily because they would have changed the game, but because they would have shouted at all the other players for being so shit and uncommitted. Something which I can't imagine Wenger is doing sufficiently (he appears to favour the carrot over the stick).

I was sneaking into an enemy base, took out the sniper on the roof and disabled the alarm, used my camera to identify all the targets and got ready to take everybody down. Next thing I know a tiger has ran into the base and killed everyone. I just sat their watching it all until everyone died and took the spoils once the tiger returned to the jungle. One of my all time favourite gaming moments.

#29199 Buying a house

For 100k you could purchase a house between 4-5 bedrooms and charge £60 per week to tenants (more if you want to put them in an all inclusive scheme.)

#27044 Benefits Advice
Boone
Although if you are actually looking for a part time job or whatever, coming up to christmas pretty much every restuarant/hotel/bar going are looking for staff to work a few days a week but on very long hours. I got a job working at a restaurant serving tables and behind their bar and would surpass 30hours a week working 3 days a week, would get close to £200 a week and have the weekdays to lark about.

Far too much of the gameplay is either hiding from the police while you escape from somewhere or sneaking into somewhere only to pick up a fuse or something daft.
There are the missions between that though where you are just put on a map somewhere and given a target to kill, which is thoroughly enjoyable. My only issue with that though is the checkpoint system, far too often I get spotted and I restart the checkpoint only to get spotted again really quick because I'm getting frustrated and trying to get to the point where I was before as quickly as possible. I don't see why a simple save and load option isn't available.
Also in the first 30minutes of gameplay I swore Hitman was about to royally rip off Leon.
#24547 Arsenal Invincibles

M'Vila is as stated a good choice, with Wilshere and Ramsey becoming pretty incredible players assuming you give them plenty of first team football, I'd suggest that you buy a midfielder specifically for the DMC role, Frimpong turns out to be pretty crap.
I bought Koke for that position, although in fairness despite having plenty of technical skill, he isn't the greatest defensive asset.

There is only one AHRC studentship going for this however (14k per annum), If I don't get that then I remain jobless in a part of the country that could not be less suited for graduates with a humanities degree.

#23993 Went to Brighton

what type of sluts are we talking about here? The ones that study something useless like Photography thinking they are doing something beneficial with their lives, when in fact they know deep down they are wasting their time and so their self-esteem and standards are pretty much at that perfect low. Or the ones which possibly have kids and in essence just have the same morals as men?

#23883 This Israel-Palestine bullshit
Boone
Pretty much sums up my opinion on the whole matter.
Hamas wants Israel wiped off the map, along with a lot of Israel's neighbours for that matter and regardless of Israel's actions, peace will never be an option for the arab extremists that live in the Middle East.
On the other hand, Israel's treatment of Gaza has been horrific, having stolen fresh water supplies and building camps that in an awful irony draw comparisons to the German ghetto's during WW2.
What happens in the future I am not so sure, but with Hamas firing Iranian made rockets into Israel and recent reports suggesting that there is unclear evidence that Iran's Nuclear programme is peaceful. I can see shit going down pretty quickly.

#23388 WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FM THIS YEAR?
Boone
So in the second season I used the preset 4-5-1 and halfway through the season I am currently top of the league 8 points clear of ManU.
So I suppose a good suggestion would be to stop looking at the Match Engine as a real life simulation, but instead as a piece of software, in which certain aspects work better than others. (e.g. a player in the AMR or AML position told to play as an attacking winger and an attacking Deep Lying Forward seem to notch goals regardless of what you do.)

My Away record..
Without a doubt the worst and most frustrating season I have ever had and before anyone asks, the first thing I tried doing was changing my tactics for away games. This game can go to hell if my next season is the same.

If that still doesnt work then maybe someone has found a crafty way to plant a keylogger somewhere on your harddrive. Other than that I'm stumped.

People charge that much for actual mods of Half-Life games. I would sooner spend several years learning how to make a basic in game editor and then release it for free afterwards.
#21868 Rant (its been a while!)
Boone
When I was a 'staff member' (I use the word staff loosely when it comes to these things) at Throw-In 6 or 7 years ago written content was a much bigger influence in the football manager community. There was even a dedicated website that linked to new content (FM-Portal?) from across different fansites. What is very important to remember is that a very large majority of people who post on fansites, initially only had the intention of finding something out, and content on who are the best players to buy and how to make a good tactic with the team you have etc. were the example methods of bringing in the punters and hoping they would then stay.
Whats important though rightly, is that you don't force people who volunteer to help run the site to create content and do things they are uncomfortable with or uninterested in. This is after all just a bit of fun and once things begin to get political or autocratic it stops becoming a hobby and the purpose of the entire site has been ruined.
So I guess the jist of what I'm saying is not to make radical changes and piss people off, but at the same time try to encourage content for the site, even if a staff member isn't posting 24/7, if he takes some time out to help with content, then that will in the long term boost the activity of regular and new members.
#21861 This ME is TERRIBLE
Boone
I've found the ME in a lot of ways has improved, for example I think they have fixed how when a striker is in a one on one or in a position they are expected to score, they will often put it away, rather that hit it straight at the keeper. Also some of the short passing play and through ball mechanics with player runs etc. look much nicer than before and it is possible to make a tactic that isn't lump it forward to your star player and wait for him to do something.
There are a few annoying little things I have found however, players do run to an extent like they are escort vans. A defender will go for the ball, not win the ball and run about 10 yards away from the play before being able to slow down, turn around and run after the ball again. I would also say there is a significant gulf in being a home team and away team. Ofcourse you tend to be stronger playing at your home stadium, however in my Arsenal game I can be dominating near enough every home game comfortably and then lose 2-0 away to Reading. This includes making changes to your tactics and set-up to adapt for an away game. It just seems out of nowhere lesser teams will knock in goals regardless.

#21424 Making a transfer is miracle...
Boone
Ok, bad example, and ofcourse Chelsea had to pay massive amounts for Hazard, Oscar and co, because they were the players on form at that time who had made a big name for themselves with lots of potential.
What I'm talking about here are the players who aren't necessarily worldclass or wonderkids that you might try buy as squad players. Their value is £5mill, they are regular squad players under squad status but when you lodge a bid of around 7mill, they will want about 15mill or more.
