Get on a map with jets and park tanks on the runway, then watch your teammates cry and sell their consoles

 

Don't park them, play chicken, sit about 50 yards away and then drive straight at them full speed and see if they can take off before you obliterate them.

 

Wouldn't you get obliterated at the same time?

 

If anyone is interested, there's a real **** storm kicking off on Twitter between Stan Collymore and Miles Jacobson, one of the lead developers of Football Manager.

Collymore basically saying that people who claim to know about players from experience within Football Manager the game are ridiculous, and that no clubs really find their data of any use. It's quite interesting. Jacobson is trying to point out that FM has reports on over 1 million players and has identified key talent from ages such as 16 - therefore it does act as a valuable tool for identify potential talent in the future. He's also mentioned that Collymore's radio colleague, Ray Houghton has used it before - as have Andre Villas-Boas and David Moyes. Everton even paid for the privilege of having full view of the database and the reports of the 1,000 scouts based worldwide watching first team, reserve team and youth team football.

Of to Dublin now, the weather better be nice or i'll blame GayBaconStripes

 

Nope, Tank beats Jet.

 

What kind of insane logic is that! Although I suppose it depends how fast the plane is going.

 

If a tank drove into a jet, I'd put good money on the tank coming out winner. They're meant to survive stuff, jets are just meant to fly and ****.

 

Just going along the runway, probably both going around 20-30mph, in that scenario tank wins easy peasy, although the way the animation of the collison happens in-game is definitely hilariously unrealistic.

 

Yeah but I think even a tank might find it hard to survive several tonnes of aluminium full of combustible fuel hurtling towards it.

Ah okay, so not just before it takes off then.

 

Exactly, jets have offence and speed, but a weak defence. They'd be ridiculously overpowered if they weren't easily destroyed. They're already enough as it is what with their capability to avoid missiles by dropping flares.

 

Well this is ****ing me off. I can't even see where I am getting killed from

 

Just noticed the job I was offered was a different job to the job I applied for. It's the same title, as they were recruiting for two people for the same role but in different departments. The role is quite similar but there are some differences. Apparently there's no external events in this role which is a shame as they're quite interesting.

 

Brace yourselves: Wigan rugby league live on TV; wife going to be screaming at the television.

 

Ugh, slowly coming around to the realisation that the PS4 is almost definitely a better option than the XB1

 

Think you will be able to confirm that theory by the end of E3, but it does appear to be heading that way.

 

Ah, the old get-to-the-same-point-in-the-game-and-be-killed-instantly syndrome. How I remember those situations.

 

Yeah that guy's a twat

 

I think I'll play a bit later. Got to grips with it at all yet?

 

I managed to score over 1,000 for once if that counts...
