I’ve been playing Fifa 06 on Xbox Live far too much today, I’ve had to stop now or else I’ll end up playing it into the early hours of the morning. Problem is, when I play online I cannot walk away from it unless I have won my last game. Maybe stepping a little into the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder territory although I think it can simply be put down to the fact that Fifa 06 is so addictive.
The great thing about playing online is every game is different. When you play against the computer it doesn’t take long to learn how it reacts and then you can win 3-0 on any difficulty. When playing an actual person you have no idea of their style of play and makes it much more of a challenge. One tip I have found: Play before 10am in the morning, this is when the children play. They are normally easy to beat, become demoralised and you can end up with impressive 4-0 scorlines.
Once again, if anyone wants to play me, simply add my tag SparksterLUFC to your Xbox Live Friends section, best send me an e-mail to let me know your doing it though.
Finally, congratulations to Leeds United. They played Wigan in the FA Cp today. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, forcing a replay at Elland Road on the 17th January. Wigan are a Premiership side, Leeds played them twice last year and lost 2-0 & 3-0. This draw against an improved Wigan team shows how far Leeds have come. Hopefully Leeds can get a win next week and go on to the next stage. Wembley here we come!
Well my Xbox 360 turned up today, I’m all registered on the Xbox Live service under the tag SparksterLUFC. I have been playing Fifa 06 a lot online. The people I play are either very crap who I end up beating 3-0 or superb and absolutely thrash me.
The graphics on the 360 are excellent. Fifa 06 is moving so close to reality and at times it is hard to distinguish between the game and an episode of Match of the Day!
I haven’t had much time to try Call of Duty 2, the other game which I bought. I have also ordered Project Gotham Racing 3 which should hopefully arrive tomorrow.
Will surely blog more about my fabulous new piece of kit soon. If anybody wants to play me contact me here and then add me to your Friends profile. My tag is SparksterLUFC.
It’s back! Celebrity Big Brother makes its return for a fourth series tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm. I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here was good back in November but that was just a taster. Big Brother is the original and indeed the best reality TV show. This time around it will last for 23 days!
Last years CBB was simply brilliant. John McCririck with his rants, stubbornness and anger at the lack of Diet Coke and milk was just quality. Jackie Stallone was also superb. The old bat had no idea where she was, expecting chandlers hanging from the ceiling, champagne with meals and Bill Gates and Madonna as housemates.
This years Big Brother will have a very hard job to top last years, celebrities rumoured to be entering the house are Macaulay Culkin, the kid from Home Alone who is also Michael Jackson’s mate. Michael Barrymore is also set to make an appearance, should Big Brother organise any parties this time around they would be wise to close off the Jacuzzi and swimming pool…. I’m only joking! :o)
In reality I think it is doubtful either Culkin or Barrymore will appear. In previous series many Celebs have been linked with the show and failed to take part. These recent stories are probably just the shows producers gaining publicity.
Some Celebs I would like to see….
Timmy Mallet – legend to anyone who grew up in the 80’s or early 90’s.
Jackie Stallone – stick the old bat in again, she was brilliant last time.
Mark and Lard – the two funniest DJs ever on Radio 1. Sadly missed.
Adrian Edmondson – very funny man, star of Young Ones and Bottom
Yesterday I bought another electrical gadget, shouldn’t have really but I have wanted one for ages and they are as rare as rocking horse poo to buy. I am awaiting on order from Argos… an Xbox 360!
The Xbox 360 is the latest piece of video game technology and up until the release of the PlayStation 3 the best console on the planet.
I’m really looking forward to playing some next generation games, already bought Fifa 06 and Call of Duty 2, both of which look superb. You can play both of these games online against players from all over the world via a broadband modem. This is another plus point for me; I am a big fan of the Fifa games and struggle to find anybody who can match my skill. I am sure I can find some Japanese gaming enthusiast who will give me a run for my money.
I’ll let you know how I get on Friday when my precious piece of kit arrives!
IT’S JUST LIKE WATCHING BRAZIL!!!!!!
Leeds United 3-0 Plymouth Argyle
Super Leeds United put out an magnificent performance in the second half against Plymouth Argyle to win the first game of 2006 comfortably 3-0, Leeds’ biggest win of the season and the best I have honestly seen them play in years!
I was in the local pub watching the game, a location which doesn’t have good memories for me watching Leeds. Games I have watched there include a 4-0 hammering by Leicester City. Because of this I take a lot of stick from friends and some Scum supporting bar staff. Today’s performance really silenced the critics and showed everyone what a great team Leeds are.
Richard Cresswell and Robbie Blake got the goals for Leeds with Rob Hulse scoring a fabulous penalty which Thierry Henry would be proud of. Leeds are now chasing 2nd place Sheffield United, only 8 points behind them now, they’re 12 points clear in the play offs. Things are looking up.
Here is a mix for the game, one of my best if I do say so myself. The score line did help! :o)
Finally Sven, if Michael Owen’s broken foot doesn’t get better and you’re short on strikers for the World Cup there’s always Robbie Blake at Leeds!
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
