    I didn't go, but it was really fun last year. It's a big outdoor event area where you can have some beer and food, watch the game with hundreds of people that are into it, and they have some activities there. Like I said, we were one of the few cities that made it into ESPN because of how many of us were there.

    I was messing around with you at first bucmin but i really think you are trying to duck me lol after seeing how my games with oochymp went. I've sent you a couple messages on Xbox, posted in here asking when it's convenient for you, etc. Maybe you've just been busy lately which that's very well possible, but I'm done chasing you down bro lol. When you want to face the best you know where to find me.

    I don't believe so. Having your teammate there for the short corner is actually a glitch, too. You hold LT once it goes out for the corner and then when it goes to you taking the corner there should be the guy there for the short pass. Works about 90% of the time for me.

    Yes, Chiellini has been ruled out of the match. Huge blow. Not to mention the match loses a little bit of its spice considering one of the headlines was about Suarez vs Chiellini for the first time since the infamous bite. I'm very torn on who will win this game. It's hard for me to bet against the star trio of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez. However, defense wins championships, and in that regard Juve are the better team. If I HAD to make a prediction...I guess I'll go with Juventus 2-1. I've seen great defenses defeat great offenses too many times in big games to think this should go any different. Having said that, Barcelona are in such incredible form at the moment that I could easily see a scoreline of Barca 3-0. I just hope we get an entertaining game.

    Metroscum lol. Still salty from last year's playoffs I see Yeah when you said yes to a rematch I figured you wanted to play as DC that's why I went to NYRB right away haha. You're not that bad of a player tbh and like you said you'll only improve since you just reactivated Live. Here's some tips below on how you could improve if you're interested: - LB+A. Not sure if you know all the controls but if you hold LB when you pass the ball, it sends the passer on a run after he delivers the pass. Would I recommend doing this every time you make a pass from a defender? No, but it's definitely useful for AI movement from your teammates and I'm constantly using it, FWIW. - LB+Y. This used to be extremely OP, but EA nerfed it. Regardless, it's still effective. Holding LB when you press Y for a through ball lobs it in the air. This is beneficial when trying to get the ball to an attacker making a run. The main benefit of using this is sometimes when the ball is in the air after you LB+Y it the defender will stop for a second allowing you space to get in the backline. - Simple yet effective tricks. I noticed last night you barely used any skill moves. The roulette is an easy skill to pull off that works a lot when you see a defender coming to make a tackle. If you have the ball and you're running towards the left side of the screen, just hit the right thumbstick to the left and go counterclock wise until you get to the left again. So you're basically doing a cirlce with the right analog stick starting and ending from the direction your player is running. I'm not sure I explained that very clearly lol. - Your defense was pretty good. My biggest tip for D was going to be don't stab a lot with defenders but you didn't really do that. Maybe just be more creative on offense whether that involves integrating skills into your strategy, start quick passing a lot more, etc. I noticed you cross a lot and hey - if you enjoy that then be my guest and try to master it - but in my opinion crossing is pretty ineffective in this year's game. There is a Coop seasons mode which is probably my favorite part about the game so if you or bucmin ever want to play that let me know. That would make sense. Well, change that option and hopefully since it's the weekend we'll be on at the same time at some point.

    Sounds good, oochymp. duckmin, quit ducking bruh. You said in the shoutbox you were on for 2 hours...I got home at 5:45 and signed right on. You weren't online and unlike some where it says "Last logged on..." it just said Offline, as seen in pic below: You gonna be around tonight? I'll be on after my soccer game which is at 6 so figure maybe 8:30-9 or so I'll be on.

    PQS: Your Music Quirks

    1. What's a style of music you find yourself drawn to that others might see as strange? None really. 2. What's your favorite complementary instrument? Electric Guitar? 3. Who are some artists you enjoy that people wouldn't expect? I'll admit I jam out to a lot of mainstream music in my car, even if the artist is a chick. >_> I'm not proud of it but it's catchy. 4. If you could alter the music world for the better, how would you do it? Stop the inevitable genre of hip hop and country fusing together. Thanks, FGL. 5. What style of song do like you most? Happy? Sad? Story-telling? Absolute tear-jerker? Politcal? Etc. If I had to pick one I'd say sad maybe? with a happy ending? lol

  18. A lot of dialogue in this chapter. I liked it, although I'm easy to please lol. However, no Jonathan Maverick in the chapter saddens me.

    Your opinion matters....

    I used to be of the mindset "do what makes you happy." Then I look at my future sister-in-law who has degrees in Journalism and Photography...two majors that let's just say do not reap financial benefits for the most part. She's young, married, and money is tight. And money is tight even though her husband busts his ass working his own landscape business while going to school for an Engineering degree. If she went to school for something else, maybe money wouldn't be as tight. That's why I question my old mindset. If there's a significant difference in pay, it's not about 'oh well I always wanted to be a fireman.' I'm learning to like the occupation that pays more to provide myself and/or my future family with a better living. I don't know. It's not an easy answer. Maybe there really is something to be said for a person that loves what they do even if they can't go out to eat on the weekend or have to wait a few weeks to buy that new video game that released. I just think that as long as I don't hate what I'm doing and my financial status is good, I should be happy.

    1) He's not good enough for Real. Benefited from Suarez, like everyone else did last season. 2) Most credible rumors as of now are linking him to City and Arsenal.
