Feel like singing that song by the Goo Goo Dolls. Partly because they're a cool band (which you should go check out if you haven't already), but mainly because I've seriously had crappy days as of late, mainly because of...
SOCCER
remember a few posts back I was ranting about how the Int'ntl teams were injuring my precious Liverpool players? Those rants were bloody valid! Liverpool hasn't earned a point in 4 games, let alone all three. So uh... to summarise my thoughts right now... Fabio Capello, England soccer team, Spain soccer team... DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE STREAK
Is it starting again? To be honest I've kinda lost track. BUT, I did start watching Taking The Stage on MTV. Pretty cool reality/drama series. Definitely worth a watch. Need to find out when I can catch the reruns though. Missed the finale WTF!?
Anyways, I'm just gonna say that I've been sorta lonely as of late... yeah... I'll stop there
Final Comment
What did I just say!? Damn! I've been watching too many chick flicks!

Check the article. To summarise it up, Obama was caught up in a divisive political row over his plans for health care reform. A 9-year old kid named Tyler then asked him, "I have to say, why do people hate you? They supposed to love you. God is love,". Obama gave a pretty calm response afterwards... but damn that was a punch to his ego.

SOCCER
England 0-1 Ukraine
Nice one sia. More importantly they injure my poor Gerrard... and Rooney. Shevchenko miss penalty summore. haiz....
Chile inside World Cup

Torres also injured. Spain... You SUCK!
GAMES
Yeah!!! This game owns. Is it better than Live? I don't know, I don't have Live yet (but i like the hangar, looks pretty cool). Supposedly the worst parts of the game are 1. the glitches and 2. the online. The glitches are meh, but at least the AI doesn't take advantage of it. The main glitch for me is the teleportation glitch. He looks like he's driving the lane, does a crossover and then he kinda teleports to the 3-point arc. Noticeable, but nothing that affects gameplay.
The presentation of the game is as good as ever. Players now do their trademark warmups e.g. LeBron messing with the powder. The highlights are also way better. Alley Oops look extremely good in replays. Game Wrap Up has changed alot now. They took out Top 3 Plays and replaced it with G moments. This helps in that it doesn't limit itself to 3 highlights. Still... I want my blocks to be a highlight... New to the wrap up is the press book with stills of the game. Cool feature.
The Menu got mixed reviews. They took out the bar type menus and replaced it with an RPG style 8 way drag and select menu. Weird. But I'm ok with it.
The gameplay has changed also. Isomotion now done with LT/L2. I don't like the LT button very much this year. Makes my players contort weirdly. The CPU's cheating inside D is gone now. They don't block every shot inside the paint and now your big guys can usually slam it down on the opposing D (instead of getting their sissy layups blocked every 2 seconds). Alley oops are overpowered, nuff said. Chasedown steals have been nerfed, some result in fouls even. Chasedown Blocks on the other hand, have improved slightly.
Creation wise, I think 2k10 will win hands down. Create Player now allows you to either mould the guy's face (ala EA) or choose samples. I like the samples... cuz I'm lazy. They also allow you to select the shoe colours now. So now the guy can wear Pink shoes yay. Seriously though, I do use it for some of my created players who only wear black shoes. The Signature has been buffed up... alot. You can select different styles for pretty much everything now. Low Post to the right. Tear drops. Drifting shots and now you can even select a dunk the guy specialises in. Create Team now allows you to design your own jerseys. Few choices for patterns but hey, it's definitely better.
My favourite team? For now Grizzlies. Cuz they got Hashbrown Thabeet and Pau Gasol's brother... and spamming 2 7-footers inside the paint is fun. Chances are this means I'll like Cavs too, since they got 2 idiots called Shaq and Z over there...

uuuuuuuhhhhhh
Staying up 24 hours just because you didn't feel like sleeping the night before is not the best idea. I kept myself going with red bull and sour strips in the morning. It'll keep the engines running but the crash is terrible. I think I was hallucinating while playing fifa. Definitely need some sleep

SOCCER
Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't like fat referees
http://sports.sg.msn.com/football-channel/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3625890
So Alex totally took out his frustration on Alan Wiley. Now I'm not the biggest fan of Wiley (If you can remember he didn't give voronin his penalty, resulting in a loss to the bums) but Alex Ferguson was being very harsh to the ref. He didn't do anything wrong. The calls were mostly ok. Heck, if it weren't for the ref Man U could have suffered a defeat at the hands of Sunderland. Think about it, Alan Wiley issued the red card which pretty much doomed Sunderland to a defeat (Even though they were 1 goal up). Man U just couldn't take the 3 pts. Dunno how Fergie can justify this statement.
Jeff Winter (from the article) was pretty harsh too. I know Fergie didn't need say those things, but scolding him like that isn't going to get anything done. I just have a feeling this is gonna be a huge mic fight in the upcoming days.
WRESTLING
Hell in a Cell seemed pretty good. Taker wins... but no jiu jitsu finisher. John Cena gets owned for once. But more importantly... DX wins. I think I'll get the DVD. If for nothing else, I'll get it just for the HiaC matches. Did I mention DX won?
On RAW, Miz won the US belt? what was the whole point of the triple threat match then? The Diva bowl was pretty lame at first, but I have to admit, seeing all their finishers in a row and, more importantly, Rosa's sick kung fu moves made it pretty fun. Hornswoggle give mini crotch chops to Chavo, epic WIN. Jerishow spoils the show when they run away from the 2 tonnes of humanity known as the Steelers offensive line attempt their first QB sneak in a wrestling ring. I was looking forward to that dammit. Didn't watch ,ain event, didn't feel like it.
Final Comment
Fergie is known for his (often successful) mind games with other managers. Now mind games with referees? interesting.................

Eventful Weekend
But too lazy to update, so I guess I'm gonna have to do a speedrun (In a blog? hmmm.....)
MOVIES
Cool movie, worth a watch if you're a action fan. More story then action though.
SOCCER
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Sad part is L'pool played well, but Chelsea played better. Can't say Chelsea don't deserve the points though, they took their chances and got their goals. On the brighter side of life...
Man U 2-2 Sunderland
Man U played like crap. Never in the lead, and they were at home. Took an extremely lucky shot to get back on level terms, but at least they got it before the 97th minute.
And more importantly...
Wolves 0-1 Portsmouth
Portsmouth get first points of the season! A landmark achievement. Still, I think they'll beat Derby County's record, if you know what I mean.
GAMES
Great game, it feels the same from last year, but somehow... slightly different. Haven't tried manager mode yet. They took out the experience points limit from last year, which is a good thing. Probably gonna get winning eleven to see which one is better.
The NBA games are coming soon, oooooohhh.......
A screenshot of wikipedia's page. Look at the arcade release date and the console release dates. WTF!? almost a 2 year gap! Namco Bandai had better give us an absolute masterpiece.
oh yeah, Capcom giving update to SFIV, Super SFIV! Now why did they go and reuse the title? They've come up with so many weird names for video games, I mean think about it, Warrior's Dream, Second Impact, Millionaire Fighting, Lost Planet (seriously how does someone misplace a planet?). And now Capcom reuses a title? interesting....
Final Comment
Wow, that was faster than I expected
