Pretty solid day since I didn't watch the Sox game... Seriously, how awesome is that game??? I'm obsessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember playing Fifa 98, and I loved that game because it had an indoor soccer stadium, with walls so you could lob the balls off the walls and play all sort of crazy angles, plus each team only had 5 a side.

Hands down, FIFA '98 on N64 was the best soccer game ever, mainly due to the indoor stadium mode. Why don't they do that anymore? It was so badass!

I haven't messed around with the franchise stuff yet but there is a franchise type mode you can do. They do have all the international teams but I'm not sure if you can do like an actual world cup type thing. You can make your own tournament though and put all the international teams in it and basically make your own world cup, that I know for sure.

Well, there's no World Cup, but you can create your own tourney. And, yes, there is a "Manager Mode" which is like a Franchise Mode, and it's pretty sweet. I've gotten pretty into my team. Go Benfica! 6 straight Portuguese SuperLiga titles! QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 22, 2006 -> 07:49 AM) Very intense games. Oh man, isn't that the truth? A bunch of my friends also own the game, so when we play, it's always rediculously intense. Especially when we play at my friend's house, who has an HD-projection screen TV (size of a wall) and an XBOX 360. It's, by far, the best gaming experience I've ever had.

When my friend first bought the game we ended up playing a big tournament with some other friends. We all took an international team and just set up a tournament. It was the first time all of us played so none of us knew what we were really doing, so every game was basically 1-0 and wow it was really intense. Everyone just going nuts when someone scored. Oh ya, put the game on spanish when you have the option at the beginning, the announcing is so much more fun to listen to. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL.

It is pretty awesome to listen to. Actually, I'm taking Spanish this year in college, so I thought maybe it would help me if I had all the menus and announcing in Spanish, but so far, it hasn't so much. Anyway, just wait 'till everybody has played and all become experts on the "Professional" or better difficulty level. That's when the games get really intense. I watched a two of my friends the other night play the best game I've ever seen. My one friend got an early 2-0 lead, but then my other friend battled back to tie the game at 3-3. So, they played two OT's of neither team scoring, and the friend that had the lead at first ended up winning 4-3 on PK's. It was sweet!

The worst thing that happened to me though, is I was playing my step brother and we were tied at 1 in like the 80th minute or so. I pass it back to my goalie for him to just kick it out, he turns around and shoots it into my net. I ended up losing 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Im mad I missed the Fifa 06 conversation. I love that damn game. The only thing is that the international team selections are very dissapointing. Quite a few good countries missing. And as of now, the game is really outdated unless you update the rosters online. Ballack w/ Bayern Munich, Shevchenko w/ Milan, all the Juventus stars, etc. And you also can't play the a World Cup tournament. Still a phenomenal game and I play it all the time. Best soccer game ever IMO, World Cup '98 for PS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Today, I woke up in my hostel and went with my new friends Maria and Matthew to the Copacabana beach where we sat all day and drank Caparinhas til we were three sheets to the wind. Then we almost went up Mount Sugarloaf, but decided to wait for a better sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to check for fetal palpations through the rectum because a few months ago we tried to breed the cows. Only one of them was pregnant. Beat that.

You know, I hear that I look older all the time, although it's usually when I haven't shaved and have stubble, beard or shadow, depending on how long it's been. But since I'm clean-shaven there, or just about, I don't see how you think I look older. I guess it's just facial features? The clothes? I rarely wear jeans, and hardly ever wear t-shirts or tank tops. I carry a briefcase instead of a backpack to school, and some kids call me Professor.

Gregory Pratt Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:02 PM) Pure Comedy. ...I was serious! --- Today was easily my best day of 2006, and the best day I've had since November of 2005. When I was chasing the Chicago Debate League City Championship, there was a Judge that I met. Mr. Scott G. Scott was a fine judge, and he did an excellent job critiquing me post-debate (a debate that I won, with my partner -- but, I won't bullspiff you. Max was my partner in theory; in reality, he was a body I had to have there because you must debate in partners). After that debate, I talked to him for a bit, because he looked very interesting. A bit of a beard, a light face, a happy demeanor. I said, Hi Judge, and from there, we talked about his life and mine. I found out that he was a Chicago native who won second place nationally in Academic Decatholon when he was the Captain of the Team at Whitney Young in the late 1980s. He told me that he'd moved to New Orleans, but came back when the city was destroyed. It was a bummer. Scott was, however, a wonderful talker, and a brilliant mind. Aside from one other person, I've never known someone that I bonded with as well as I did with him. We talked everytime at debate about baseball, politics, relationships, sex, everything. Once the City Finals occurred in March, I found myself in a rough spot in my life, and I knew I wouldn't be seeing Scott very much -- or enough. To give you a brief glimpse of my life at the moment: at the 2006 Debate City Finals, me and my partner went 3-2 in the Preliminary Rounds. We lost one of them because I erred. I had a lot on my mind, and I cost us one victory in one of the rounds. In the other, we were tasked with defending the NSA's Wiretapping Program. A Judge who had a personal vendetta against George Bush said she personally disapproved of the Program, and thus would vote against us. She did, and that was rough, because we won that debate hands down -- HANDS. DOWN. It was a slaughter, and I'm not saying that because of my ego. That was genuine. Well Scott's smile lights up the world, and he's such a smart man. We decided recently to meet up, as he's moving to Dallas because he's tired of living back in Chicago at home. Today was that day, and we went for a walk downtown, culminating in my jumping into the lake, pants on, to go for a swim. We went back through train to my house, where we talked, then we got dinner. After that, we went to a park, where we walked about and talked about everything. We sat by a pond and chatted about love, life, sex, politics and everything in between. If I got married tomorrow, he'd be my best man. Easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Scott is always talking about honesty. That something strikes him as dishonest and he doesn't like it. That honesty matters. You know how refreshing that atttitude is? I appreciate honesty so much. Honesty and openness, and that means that if you don't want to share something, you don't, but you don't make something up or lie. That's one of the million things I like about him. Honestly.
