* Logic may be skewed
Today, I deduced something INCREDIBLE: a life-changing, world-shattering REVELATION about the TRUTH linking my mate, Fergus, with Chuck Norris.
It has nothing to do with those Chuck Norris Facts from a few years ago.
This is Fergus, of Manly NSW. Born on October the 8th, 1981, to Scottish parents.
His identity has been obscured for his own protection.
This man is Yip Man. Yip Man trained Bruce Lee, man

Here is a quick timeline of the gaming life of a former Sega “fanboy”. In writing this I discovered quite a bit about my own hypocrisies and double-standards…coming to the conclusion that we should all give up hating this console or that console, this company or that company, Sonic or Mario etc etc. They all have their value, so we should just enjoy it while we can.

Soccer. You either love it, hate it, or belong to the casual World Cup watching crowd. Yeah there is way too much cheating and diving involved, and these days with clubs having players on astronomically overpriced wages (just look at Beckham) it really is difficult for fans to feel at all connected to their team. Still, people from all over the world play it and at its core it is still a beautiful game. And it really should be called ‘football’.
So here is a brief rundown of the video game football genre. It’s not a comprehensive list and, certainly, if you are not a fan of the sport then you can stop reading and merely look at the screenshots… Read More
