I was only playing it a couple of months ago

Still stands up today, especially since the COD engine isn't exactly virtual reality even 10 years later
Last time I played it was about a year or two ago - definitely still stands up. Crazy to think that even Black Ops 1 was released 6 years ago.

NUFC, YES.
and the chances of finding a squad capable of doing so is unprecedented. Their two main goal scorers weren't elite by any measure. Vardy was playing semi professional football 6 years ago and had 5 top flight goals before this season. Mahrez was in the French second division a couple of years ago. These are a far cry from already proven elite or wonderkid players that nearly every other league winner buys. Like I said, comparative amateurs.
It's bonkers. There have been one season wonders before - Michael Ricketts the posterboy - but maaaan. Vardy's recent goal against Germany. Extraordinary talent to go under the 'dar for so long.

Not a year ago Leicester recently avoided relegation and Jamie Vardy was a racist

Clumsy Smurf was such a good dude.

Brainy Smurf was a campaigner.
Speaking of old school kids characters

Oscar the Grouch was my favourite as a kid,

When I was universal studios looking to buy some Oscar merch for my son, nothing, absolutely nothing all Elmo big bird some nubs I have never heard of.


I haven't seen a Sesame street episode in like 30 years but have been forced to recently because my son is at that age, so I was looking forward to Oscar telling people to scram but nope they toned him down from a PG rating to a G

So heartbroken.

I used to dominate that game 4 to 1 kd ratio. That's after having a .33 to 1 kd when I first started.

Started playing the latest cod game for the first time in over 8 years at my cousins house, I kept getting wrecked, I have lost my lightening reflexes lol.

10 years wow that makes me feel old.

CoD4 remaster coming out, christ it isn't that old is it?
Typical Activision though:

I'm pretty sure you have to buy one of the "deluxe" editions too.

COD's IW Engine still has code from Quake in it. Impressive that they manage to keep adding/removing things to it to keep it fresh.

Too bad the games themselves aren't that impressive any more. I haven't enjoyed it since COD4.

Howard Hughes had the film Ice Station Zebra run on a continuous loop in his house he apparently watched it 150 times.
That was probably the first movie I saw where I had also read the book. Very disappointing to realise how much Hollywood mess with stories. :(

Man City went much further south than that and got back to the premier league in a relatively short time.

Coupla loose dollars here and there jettisoned us to the title after we got back to the top flight which is a kicker Leicester haven't received and so they as a club deserve the utmost respect.
WOAH HOLD ON THERE!

Leicester has a biiig investor who does it as a vanity project. They are also under investigation for breaking the Financial code to get out of the Championship (a code that they will get way with violating as they are in a different comp now).

Wage bills are bigger indicator than transfer fees, though Leicester were gloriously lucky with injuries.
