PS4. No FIFA points, they get enough of my money.

I just started playing, never played a soccer game before last week
I played a highly rated online player on FIFA last night
Got smacked 6-0, was just lucky I chose a really good keeper for my Ultimate team

I'm afraid that is how I'll end up though eventually

I'm lucky, never really bought into the whole Ultimate team thing. I just get it for the local multiplayer and Manager Mode.

I'm the same. Happy enough to enjoy those features without delving into any of the microtransaction/online bullshit.

Managed to keep my video game industry cynicism (it's a real thing guys) at a stable level as a result.

I'm slowly becoming Jim Sterling, with the only caveat being I love Nintendo and to me they can do no wrong.
For those who don't know who Jim Sterling is, Google his videos and you'll see industry cynicism.

Welcome to online FIFA my friend. Rage quits and 6-0 floggings from 12 year old Brits.

Weolcome to online FIFA my friend. Rage quits and 6-0 floggings from 12 year old Brits.

I heel flicked it over the top of the controlling player
and three opposition players, one which he was controlling that did a slide tackle and then took a shot long before the half finished
it rebounded off the bar into goal and I thought he was going to quit then but he played it out then quit on the whistle

and I'm used to rage quitting and getting flogged in games by 12 year olds
its not my first online game
Street Fighter online was the worst....

Haha yeah.
It's just more annoying when they have British/Scottish accents.

ever play street fighter?

NEVER ever play it at Crown/Galatic Circus
it makes any money you put in a wager for a game
So I put in $8 once and this other guy had $2 and he spammed me with Hadukens
no-where does it say that you have to play other players, I beat a kid out of his money

and I felt horrible

Of course I play Street Fighter.
Nah stopped going to Arcades when I could get the same games at home. Strangers tend to annoy me.

I lived on the Simpsons Arcade when it was at the old Scumshine Timezone. Then when that place died I used to find excuses to go to the airport and play the one there. Now I've got it Live and emulated. It just isn't the same though.

like any Pinball Machines? The Addams Family one was my personal favourite

I remember in Mulwala they had a massive RSL that had the Simpsons Arcade machine, this was back before they had poke machines to
and made a lot of their money by hiring known bands...ahh

Used to like the old Street Fighter Pinball machine, the T2 one and the Wrestlemania one along with the Adam's Family machine you were talking about. They were all just so cool and had awesome bonus levels.

Bear & Bull Tavern on 347 Flinders Lane has it down below, behind the bar where you order food

I went on a date once there and saw it
and got a bit carried away when I saw it

You should buy a knife.

The jacket might be a good idea, yeah.

Midland? Kwinana? Belmont?

I'm not short of options

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Midland? Kwinana? Belmont?

I'm not short of options

I work night shifts at option B how do you know about Perth?

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

I work night shifts at option B how do you know about Perth?

That sounds like fun

Have had family friends over there at different points in time, and I remember little snippets of conversation or things I've read online. Have heard some horror stories about Kwinana and Rockingham in particular.

It's probably worth knowing in case I ever find myself over there

I feel like I should win a prize for picking out those two in particular

That's not a bad strike rate. Seriously though, have you ever had any trouble? It's weird, reading about the shit people have to deal with in some areas.

Nah man I've lived here my whole life and I've never been in a fight, some crap just gets blown out of proportions really.
