FIFA vs PES

Had a couple of goes on this versus the in-house nemesis, Juvenile Unit #2. She walked away with victories in both games, and predictably, hasn’t complained much about the switch from FIFA to PES. I was hoping that unfamiliarity with the controls would have led to a series of early, never to be repeated victories for me, but there you go. Beaten by a 15 year old girl on a game she had never played before.

Head hung in shame.

If anyone is in need of some lols, look up FIFA and Women’s teams on Twitter/comments sections on games sites.

I know I have a rep for this, but seriously dude tears bout feminists ruining their games is my favourite thing ever.

EA get a lot of hate, often unfairly in my opinion, but fair play to them for making a relatively minor step in the right decision. It’s worth it just to see the hissyfits, for me.

I was going to post the BBC article here yesterday because I thought really cool they’re including the women’s game (I want to be female when I play computers games, and not just dumb men’s versions of female ie. massive boobs, unnaturally tiny waist). But I will definitely check out these comments, GREAT to hear it’s pissed off a lot of losers!

Get your chips ready Lou, there’s a lot of salt to go round. It’s genuinely hilarious. Us Feminists are ruining everything!

call the wahhmbulance.

im half tempted to go back to that other site to troll some of the fragile souls that will clearly feel threatened about this.

Do it!! I shall watch from a far…

Are they along the lines of:

Are they going to start including youth teams, pub leagues, and disability matches (which are similar standard)?

What happens if I’m playing career mode, and my star player gets pregnant? Or what if she gets her period on Cup Final day?

In women’s games, are they going to have crowd noise turned down to zero due to empty stadiums?

Nahh, I’m p much done with that place. Watching from a distance recently, it’s fallen into basically any other web forum. Vile, whiny straight white dudes bitching about how hard they have it.

the majority of people I have any interest in conversing with are here. I may try poach some of my arts buddies, otherwise I’ve no interest in that place. It’s grim.

Get Cat over here, KRG. He’s got good music taste.

Or something about shrill crowd noise…

Knew you were a feminist all along Bearsy. :wink:

I really enjoyed the arts chat over there. All the contributors were sound, and whilst not everything was to my taste there was usually always some interesting stuff to check out.
Cat, lifeintgeslowlane and obv my interwebs bff SuperMikey need to sort their shit out and get over here.

I’m trying to get Barry Sanchez. He’s gonna sign up as Dune, and we can have 6 months of pap accusing Dune of being Barry Sanchez, which will like bring things full circle

i dunno… i am feminist in that i like + respect womens, but i don’t believe in equality really, i.e. i refuse to accept that a woman could ever beat me in an arm wrestle. I don’t have much evidence for this cos i don’t v.often arm-wrestle women, but somehow in my soul i just know with supreme confidence, that i would always Win. Even a big strong bird like Serena Williams-Campbell, i would deffo back myself. Arrogant i spose.

I’ve actually tapped both on the shoulder. Neither is interested, it would seem.

I’m not that upset by this, pap.

i dunno krg, is it healthy to have frm where everyone quite likes each other? Don’t we need a sprinkling of antagonists, or for want of a better word, cunts?

You might be right, but for now I’m enjoying the lack of them. It’s nice to go somewhere on the web not entirely infested with awfully toxic folk.

I’ve belonged to forums where everyone got along. It actually works pretty well. Instead of trying to one-up each other by calling each other names and notwhat, competition is normally about sorting your own contributions than having a go at everyone elses.

Besides, antagonism is rarely interesting. Alright, you’ve got some people that are genuinely good at it, but the vast majority of people that try it do so with boring and redundant one-liners. e.g. “You are an odd person”, etc.

Indeed, as I recall pap a lot of our early encounters were disagreements, and me generally making a prat of myself. But we were on the whole, civil enough. That’s fine. Same as me and UJ over there, disagreed on almost everything but was decent chat.

Too many of them are just vile clones spouting bile (I genuinely think hippo & mash are one and the same). I know he rubs some people up, and he probably has a low opinion of me, but Fry was a master. It’s not even worth trying, as he’s just better at it than anyone else. But that’s the exception.

Geniality is is the way forward. In my experience, the best debate happens on the most carefully moderated sites. So far this place hasn’t needed that, but mostly as we are kind of a merry gang of chums.
