Yeah. Don't know why, that was the plot I actually wanted.
I was going to make a high tech city when I've finised my current one. This one is like a commercial, touristy seaside city. Seemed to make sense since all the wind patterns take smoke away from it and since there's going to be a massive arcology across the way, they'll need somewhere to go on holidays. Assuming that's how it works.

It's on Origin only.



I meant my Origin ID..

Tonnes of countries change their schedule to suit the world cup, such as almost the entire southern hemisphere.

Most northern hemisphere countries have winter breaks anyway, England are one of the very few who don't.

There's no point complaining that the World Cup is in Qatar, that's already final. The question is whether it should be in winter and it makes sense for it to be.

I don't see the problem with hosting it in winter.

You can't play football in 50C heat, that's insane. If you're saying you can't move the world cup then you're basically saying no Middle-East, North African etc country can hold it.

What would you rather watch a good world cup in Winter or a ridiculously slow paced World Cup in June?

Paul Scholes was underrated until everyone started creaming about Xavi, then realized he's basically a Spanish Scholes.

What's the point at looking at stats if you're going to count a sub appearance for 10 or so minutes as a full appearance?

When you look at minutes played rather than games played, Lukaku's stats are far better.

No it's not.

The best penalty taker should always take the penalty, regardless of the score.

Plenty of teams have come back from worse than 3-0.

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

PS3 games will be streamed, like OnLive.

I'm assuming it would be a subscription model though.

The PS4 uses a different architecture to the PS3, so it's not possible to play PS3 games on it.

Well yeah but if MS were planning on launching next spring and Sony have said the PS4 will be out this xmas then thats alot of time for MS to make up, either way people would have analysed what Sony have done weather they announced before MS or after people will come out and say it was too soon or too late.


I can guarantee you Microsoft will launch at Christmas. They won't launch after the holidays, that's suicidal.

Personally it just seems like Sony have rushed this launch to beat Microsoft, hence why they didn't even show the console as it's not finished.

They have but now they are unsafe. There isn't a new version in the pipeline as they have been pulled from sale in the EU completely. They have something else in the pipeline though.

Just what does it take to wake the Apple lovers up?


The new amendment comes into place on 1st March, so they currently pass all safety legislation's.

So Sony finally get it right by revealing the PS4 before the Xbox, then don't bother showing the console. Fucked that right up.

Why?

Parachute payments 2011-12:

Club Payment Position

West Ham £15.5m 3

Birmingham £15.5m 4

Blackpool £15.5m 5

Middlesbro £4m 7

Hull City £12m 8

Burnley £12m 13

Portsmouth £12m 22

Parachute payments 2012-13:

Club Payment Position

Hull City £8m 2

Burnley £8m 12

Blackpool £13m 14

Blackburn £16m 13

Bolton £16m 16

Wolves £16m 18

Birmingham £13m 20

Portsmouth £8m 22(L1)


I meant more that if you wanted to go with the parachute payment idea, you'd really need to go into the finances of each club, which would be very difficult to get.

You can't just say 'X clubs were more successful because of parachute payments' without taking into consideration wages, match day income, rich owners, loans etc.

I'd try and stay away from anything involving clubs finances, there's too many variables.

Yeah that's what I don't get when some Arsenal fans blame the board.

Wenger is the reason they miss out on players as he doesn't spend the money, even if it's there.

When Arsenal fans blame the board, do they blame them for not letting Wenger spend more money or for not sacking him?

I think you need to be realistic and go with something that won't be that difficult to get.

Something like a comparison of money spent to points or attendance to points.

Or if you want to go a bit further looking into the GDP of the city in relation to attendance and points.

Remember 3,000 words isn't a lot, you can't be going into too much detail.

The main analog stick is still in a stupid position.

They only put it there originally as they tacked it onto the first PS controller and it was the only place it would fit, I thought they'd have moved it by now.

New controller.

Looks better than the PS3 one, but still miles behind the 360's.

AND THE WINNER IS

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell was last night charged with child sex offences.

The 48-year-old, who plays Kevin Webster, is accused of 19 offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.

The actor, who lives in Hale, Cheshire, was first arrested in September 2011 and questioned over alleged child sex offences, but the matter was later dropped.

However, late last night Greater Manchester Police said the actor - real name Michael Turner - had been charged with sex offences against a youngster.

The decision came after a review of evidence by lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service

Alison Levitt QC, Principal Legal Advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions said: "I have very carefully reviewed the evidence in this case and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Michael Robert Turner with a number of sexual offences.

“I have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mr Turner with nineteen offences, including rape of a child."

A spokeswoman from GMP said: "A man has been charged with 19 child sex offences.

"Michael Turner has been charged with 19 offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.

"The charges, which were authorised by the CPS following a review of evidence, relate to offences against a child between 2001 and 2010."

Le Vell joined the soap in 1983 and quickly endeared himself to fans who have followed the trials and tribulations of Kevin.

His character has had a stormy marriage to Sally, played by Sally Dynevor, fathering two teenage girls as well as a love child from his affair with Molly Dobbs.

Le Vell is due to appear at Manchester magistrates' court on February 27.
