I seem to be the only person I know who is interested on the US tv series, Fringe. I usually miss out in that manner. I miss the start or some other thing happens, so I tend not to follow it. But from it's first airing - which I found by chance - I've been hooked.

How many times have the Kiwis said that? And more to the point, how many times havve the kiwis won after saying that?

I'm doing the NZ cricket fan's mandatory pre season talk-up. Come the South African series I'll be ranting about how shit we are and how the team needs to be overhauled .

Of course there is, but it's illegal Can be pretty dodgy with viruses and trojans and stuff too I think but the risk is yours...

 

[Gibbsy]

Paint.NET is free. I suggest you don't go down the pirate path with PS. Full of nasties.

Would Benny be able to get the student version?

I'm pretty sure that's only 200 bucks. A friend of a friend bought two copies (he's a student) and he's giving me the other one for 150 and lunch. Score

With the "Users Online" box at the bottom of the "Footy Graphic Design" page, why do some names have a '+' next to it?

 

[E92_]

I think it means your friends with them.

 

[jethro11]

Yep, pretty sure that's right Eagles.

 

[Andonis1997]

Oh, right. Cool

Is your name Bradles is it?

 

[Omegaville]

I think it means your friends with them.

Does that mean "you are friends with them", or "your friend's" with them?

 

[Andonis1997]

You've really been cracking down on spelling and punctuation haven't you, Omega? Lucky for me, I am a great speller.

I bet you checked that 5 times before posting it

 

[Andonis1997]

Maybe... You can never trust iPod autocorrect, plus, I didn't want to embarrass myself saying I was a great speller and then stuffing up.

 

[E92_]

Does that mean "you are friends with them", or "your friend's" with them?

You know what I mean.

 

[Ochre]

You shouldn't use a comma in that sentence.

Pumcatuation, and, speeleng are my specialcalitys.

 

[Andonis1997]

I bet...

I don't have to, but chose to for clarity - as I did in this sentence, too.

A FIFA 12 query here.

I've been playing FIFA since '97 on my PC. World Cup '98 was my first console FIFA, and still to this day, probably my favourite (along with FIFA 06). I've been heavily investing time into Manager mode since the 2006 instalment, and I still find the Xbox (original) career modes to be the best. They hold this longevity that the newer titles simply don't seem to.

Anyway, I've got '12. I'm changing things up a bit and playing the Career Mode with a single footballer. I had a good season for Melbourne Heart. Although we finished second from bottom, I went from a 67 to a 71 - and was the only player to actually score for the Heart.... all season! At seasons end I had offers. Barca, Bayern Munich, Celtic, some A-League franchises, and Everton. I chose the latter - a nice mid table club with promise of first XI football.

Yet I've finished my first season with the Toffees, my second season as a player. And I am so bored.

I've tried manager mode with West Brom, Norwich, Coventry, and Oxford. I played a maximum of three seasons with each. Yet I was bored.

So, what's a good club to manage? How do you get longevity out of FIFA 12's Career Mode (as a manager)? What's a nice club to join? What are the perfect difficulties? Etc.

 

[Gibbsy]

If you want anything to invest in mate it's Ultimate Team. The longevity there is amazing, I absolutely love it. I have barely had time to play Manager Mode on 12 with UT there. It's like SuperCoach but ten times better.

As for favourite FIFA's, mine would be '05 on PC, '09 on Wii, '10 WC on PS3 and '12 on PS3.
My first FIFA was '98 on PC and I've been playing ever since.

 

[Mero]

You shouldn't use a comma in that sentence.

It's called a serial or Oxford comma.
Either with or without it, the sentence is grammatically correct.

You tried to sway me on facebook. I tried it, but it just isn't my thing. The kits irk me the most.

Like the Colbert episode with Vampire Weekend. "You guys once asked, "who gives a **** about an Oxford comma?". Well, Vampire Weekend, I do".

I always use the Oxford comma. It's great. In fact, it annoys me when people say "red, white and blue", instead of "red, white, and blue".
