me playing xbox:
- turns on console
- waits 2 hours for the system to update
- inserts game i haven't played for months
- waits 3 hours to download 20gb update
- can't be bothered playing anymore
- turns off xbox

remember when a "patch" was 5mb?

i wanted to play doom and it wanted to download a 60gb update.

I follow West Ham in pommie soccer because when I lived in London for a few years in the 90s I lived in Plaistow, then Upton Park so they were my local team. Unfortunately the only time it's exciting to be a fan is when they're in a relegation scrap. I'm not that emotionally invested any more.
I like American sport but don't really follow any teams. When I was a kid it was always Lakers v Celtics on the telly on Sunday mornings and Magic Johnson was more charismatic than Larry Bird so I was a Lakers fan. Couldn't give a shit these days - and haven't for at least 20 years.
Remarkably similar story to mine, although I lived in West London at the time and all my mates were Chelsea supporters I picked West Ham due to Paulo DiCanio and his crazy antics. In the Celtics v Boston Sunday mornings bonanza I picked Boston... I liked Bird as i gave him credit for being brilliant for a doufusy looking white guy.

Guilty confession: I was a tween when Valley Girl came out and i fell in love with Nicholas Cage at the time ... WTF was i thinking? He was shit, the movie was shit, what the hell?

And FU Dingle you continually bring that movie up like you are trolling all the silly young girls at the time .. unless you too had a thing for Nicholas Cage?

* edit: I just looked up the photos of the film. His caterpillar eyebrows and pineapple hair what's not to love. Either i had self esteem issues then or we were really starved of entertainment at that time.

Other Teams
Dallas Cowboys, Houston Rockets
Got into the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Rockets as a young lad back in the 90s. Don Lane was my go to on the ABC. I'd like to say there was something that set them apart but I was probably just bandwagoning as a ten year old.

NBA i didn't want to follow everyone else and go for Jordan's bulls. Loved Hakeem and Kemp. Was a coin toss but the Rockets won out.

Stop following when it went off free to air but getting broadband and finding streaming services got me back into it. Was like being a kid again.
Everyone hating Dallas kind of put me in a Us against Them attitude which helped reset the passion for The Cowboys. Everyone hating on Romo when he was my favorite player just confirmed it.

Rockets played a gutsey series against the eventual champion Lakers when Yao went down in 07. Pushed them to seven games. Just that bunch of underachievers pushing teams and tgen getting Harden just set me up with them again.

I will say there was something about getting up at 4am on a Monday morning to watch the NFL with other die hards on this forum back around 08 that also made you feel like you are part of something. When the AFL was becoming tedious when ypur team wasn't playing, the NFL was enjoyable even if your team wasn't playing.

Also any top 10 Metallica list that doesn't include Blackend, Creeping Death or Motorbreath is invalid
