OK, hmmmmm, where do I start? I guess I should start at the beginning of my gaming life. I'm talking summers spent in Clacton arcades wasting 10p's on Championship Sprint, Double Dragon and Turtles. I'm on about California Games, Daley Thompson and Winter Olympics... Aaaaaah, the C64 days, when I was but 5 or 6 years old, seemed the sunniest. I swear it was either bright sunshine soaked summer or just plain snow in those heady times.
Nowadays, like the weather, gaming has gotten complex... So much choice and so little cash.
In a house with many consoles and far too much gaming testosterone, I devote most play time to my PS3. I don't have a preference for game type, although I'd say FPS's float my boat the most and RPGs haven't grabbed me by the balls once, yet.
Right now I'm playing
Black Ops, FIFA 11, Enslaved and Fallout 3 (GOTY Edition)
PSN: Clancy5000
Peace.

Nice article about FIFA vs Pro Evo. I used to buy both games just so I could have the best of both worlds.. but since this current gen, I haven't even bothered with PES.
Also, good call on the Super Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars demo!! That game is pretty addictive and I think I'll be downloading it the next time I'm home.
Wich is why i ask now, did you wanted to do that? Or did the Niño Torres felt like it?
Il Nino crossed it in and, seeing it was sailing way over David Villa's head, I thought "why not." So, yes. Yes I did. ;o)
It's pretty difficult to pull these goals off, you rarely get the chance for any kind of acrobatic shot...
@Seltzermx,
It's not easy to score these anymore!
@Primo,
cheers dude... It'll be worth the wait too.
@Celia,
Hopefully, if I pick it up, I'll see you online one day! FNF style!
Yeah, the pace of Torres and the guile of David Villa...?
Don't be silly, they've got Cesc Fabregas in the team, that's why!!!
C'mon you goooooners. Took out Roma tonight. Big came for you tomorrow :s
I think I have a similar goal on my uploads (check them out if you can be arsed) of Kuyt replicating Zaki's goal earlier in the season.
I agree about Fab. He always comes off the bench and makes a real difference for them.
Liverpool need a big game tonight... Arsenal should put Roma to bed last night :o(
Y'know, I really thought FIFA was realistic but Kuyt scoring a goal like Zaki's (against L'pool I take it)...? ;o)

Fabregas is the best midfielder in the league. No-one, including Gerrard, is as influential as him, People see it as Goals = Good, but that's far from the truth. Fabregas is the petrol in Arsenal's Engine, If there isn't any, you'll splutter along and eventually stop. Gunners need him back ASAP, shame Arsenal v Man U is so late in the season, no chance of stopping the Bastards winning the title now.
Battle-cars is a good game. The online is dead or simply broken. Can't get in Ranked games for shit, and Unranked isn't too easy.
Bloody hell, you weren't joking. Great goal and just like Zaki's.... I wish mine had the build up, it makes it so much better. I guess I need to find out how to save the whole thing! I didn't save it from that point in the replay.
We should have a weekly "best goal" competition. Even if they aren't very good, we should give it a go.
@Aurain,
Thing is about Stevei G is that he look great in highlights. Watch him for an entire game and you'll realise that the reason he scores so many is because he is guaranteed to shoot atleast 26 times from 40 yards out.
Fabregas knows how to dictate entire matches. I remember him coming off the bench against Argentina in the World Cup a couple of years back. It was half time and Spain had been shit. He came on and never once gave the ball away. I was almost in tears, it was beautiful, he really made the difference for them.
he has done the same for Arsenal for about 4 or 5 years now. Last season he was immense, but losing Flamini has meant he defended too much this season (Denilson went walkabout), which has made his game suffer. Great captain though but Wenger needs to give him more freedom to go forward by providing a good defensive midfielder (whether we buy one or one of our lads will step up good and proper) and telling van Persie to stop dropping deep. This season RVP has been getting into Fabregas' space and clogging things up a little.
OK, I'm wafling on now but I can't wait to get him back!
Oh, and Gerreard is a dirty diver too. Great match-winner though.
Sorry about delay, but I'm totally up for C-Blogging that if you're willing to help out a) gathering interest and b) C-Blogging if/when I can't. If there isn't enough interest we could always add in Madden plays or something of the sort?
OK, I'll play some FIFA this week and come back with my best goal and you do the same (if we don't score any good ones we'll leave it another week) and then have a poll or something so people can decide the winner, or just post them for fun. Then we put it to Samit or others who want to send us their Madden goals and stuff like that and make it a weekly or fortnightly thing!?
Any rules for the near future - semi/manual shooting, difficulty setting...?
