Eidos and the game designers split a while ago.

So, there's now Football Manager and another game.

I'm not sure if what I say is right though... ~:confused:

Just a little update on my drums:
Had a little jam with some friends of mine that might be forming a band on teusday, it was just for me too get used to the feel of my drums etc...boy do they rock, after 5 days of having them i have already got some basic beats done, and i'm working on controlling the volume.
Can anyone reccomend any little add-ons for drums (if anyone has had any experience in drums of course ;) )

AFAIK they are two seperate games. My brother is the guy for them...and Winning Eleven.
.

Yep... two separate game, that's what I meant.... ~;)

Football Manager has the origins of Championship Manager since SI Games is the producer.

Championship Manager 5 (and any other that will probably be released) is the sole BS of Eidos. Keep off if you don't want to hate computer industry totally.

Alcohol beverage, snacks and FM '06 is the best trilogy ever than LOTR trilogy

:thinking:

(I pushed it too much.. Never mind..)

About £150
Some Floyd CDs
Crazy Taxi 3 (Old but who cares, it's fun)
Worms Blast, read the above
About 40kg more weight to lug on my barbell
and a promise of an MP3 player as soon as I can find an greeable one for less then 200 quid...

Not a bad haul at all I am guessing

Though my actual Christmas was spent in France praying at Lourdes. That wasn't bad at all...the sleeping in the car (1900 miles in 6 days) was...

Get a good guitarist or you sound like crap...:tongueg:

Alexander of MacedonI have two good guitarists, one of them a fantastic singer, and a damn good bassist, they all sound crap without me ;)

You should hear me play...

I'll rock it man...:gring:

Well our next band practise i'm gonna take my video cam along, I'll film us and host it somewhere, you can see us then :)

you play guitar?

Yeah, I play a blue and black Fender Strat

It's good, but it's not the guitar that makes it good...it's the guitarist

I wanna hear it!:gring:

I received the gift that keeps on giving... a flu bug I've had since the 2nd week of December (2 days after landing in China). No, it's not Avian flu... the whole family had it before I left, I just needed to get run down a little to let 'the joy in'. Wow, talk about a knock you on your butt bug... every morning for the past 3 weeks, I've woken up thinking "is today the day I actually don't have to struggle to make it through the day"? It's like having mono again...

In terms of more conventional presents, lessee.. I received some Patriots & Red Sox gear (YAY!), some fine whiskeys, and the creme de la creme.. from Mrs. Corleone, I received this little beauty...

Oh I see. Thanks.

My last CM was CM4, so I have been missing from the series for a long time, and I should continue on Football manager instead, right?

Ah...if only I can find a copy of the FM game... :sweatdrop:

Football Manager is made by the guys that MADE the earlier CM's.

Keep buying that. Eidos kept the name "Chamionship Manager" because, I assume, they funded the game, they owned the name...

All in all, Football Manager is the better game.

Okay, thanks. It all make sense now. The publishers keep the franchise name, but the developers make the real sequel in another name because of legal issues... :idea2:

*goes to amazon.com to check it out...*

In my experience, a good band with a mediocre drummer will sound mediocre, whereas a mediocre band with a good drummer will sound good.

Seconded.. Missed rythms/beats attract more negative attention than poor guitar chords.. The simplest example to support the idea is the birth and the effectiveness of punk rock. You know these guys rely on very few chords, but drums are always speedy and well-trained.

BTW, get One Chord Wonders: Power and Meaning in Punk Rock by Dave Laing in case you're interested in the whole concept of punk rock :rockstar:
