It’s going to be weird to have a foreign manager for England. It’s embarassing; while Eriksson could theoretically do a fantastic job and really put English football back on the map, it’s saying “Hey, you know us? The country that invented the game? The country with the most passionate fans? Well, we can’t find a national manager filled with English blood who would actually be able to lead a team”. The English, as a nation, need pride as much as we need oxygen.

The angry Aaron DeWolf submitted a couple of suggestions on what he would do if he were in charge of..

..MTV: “I would make “the real world” actually like the ‘real’ world. How about living in a 2 bedroom apt. with no pool and crazy neighboors. Plus those self righteous bastard participants would have to work at the local Starbucks, or worse yet, the mall!”

..The internet: “I would code a browser that innundated a web server with many nasty virus for having pop up windows. Sure, the porn sites DESERVE this, but so does geocities, freeservers, and all the other stupid sites making money on pop up ads.”

Strong words there from Mr. DeWolf.

To this date, he is the only person who has ever mailed us as a result of reading the site.

That I can remember, anyway.

And look, more Real Life Tekken!

I like Tekken. I’m trying to find out the best way of obtaining the toys without Amy finding out. But I do think you can
go too far.

Japanese videogame TV commercials!

Strange as it may seem, there are times when it is embarassing to say that you are a fan of professional wrestling. Quite a lot of times, actually. And here’s a list of all of them.

Okay, so I think I’m back. Our PS2 is indeed a lot of fun, and will be a lot more fun once we get some games of our own. Our Blockbuster had a bunch of their rental games stolen on launch day, so there hasn’t been a stellar choice, but Midnight Club Street Racing and Swing Away Golf are both fun games with pretty graphics. The fact that one of my first PS2 experiences was hearing Strings of Life (from Midnight Club’s intro) is just too beautiful for words.

Yes, it arrived unexpectedly today. That’s why I’m posting this at 4am. More later.

We gots a Playstation 2. It looks retro 80s to me. Sam has inherited the Video Game Disease from Simon. End communication.
