Has Manchester City ruined football?

Personally i think yes. Even though people might say that I’m just a sore loser or because its not the team that you support i shouldn’t be saying this but to be honest this actually doesn’t apply to me. As i would like to say that I’m looking at this in a general view.

The main thing about Man City is that they are,and at every possible chance available,trying to buy the new and best player around at that time. They will use an offer that the player can’t refuse and therefore 99% of the time the player accepts. If Man city continue doing this there will eventually be one good team and nineteen bad teams in the premiership.

Now I’m not saying it just Man City, other teams like Real madrid and Chelsea have done this in the past. But in-fairness Chelsea were not willing to splash £108 million on a player.

Well anyway once Man City have bought every player imaginable they will need a way to pay for them. Well with each player probable on £200,000 a week it looks like they will have to increase ticket prices which in this day in age is going to be suicidal for football meaning no one will come except the chairman who can only just to afford it.

You may think that why doesn’t the chairman pay for them. But then you may remember that he has bought every player imaginable to join his squad. So with no one wanting to watch Man city or any other team due to them having no players and only a sack of useless football money. I guess we will start to watch our local clubs.

So maybe in 20 years or so your local club might be in competition for the premiership. While Man city are remembered for the destruction of football.

Pointlessness in full bloom

We recently found out what one of our GCSE exams for English would be. I already knew that many of the things we were doing would never turn up in most careers (especially where computers and programming are concerned), but the exam takes it to the extreme – we have to analyse a before unseen poem, bad enough, but in the space of a half-hour.
Maybe I should send an extremely badly worded letter to the government. With no puntuation. Or grammer. Or any vowels. Maybe I should just send them my blog posts instead

I think I might be the only one

It seems my Dad intends on getting one of those massive TVs with LED backlights.
Now these are very nice, and they have a really crisp image, but I just can’t want one. It’s the same with BluRay and all these HD channels, they’re all very nice, but I can’t like them.
One of the reasons I don’t think I like them, other than of course because of the large prices associated with them, is because people put these going to see the real thing, or at least anything close to it, and also I think it’s because I think that what’s avaliable in DVDs and freeview is perfectly adequate, and there isn’t reason enough for me to think the price tag is right.
I’m getting a new desktop computer soon, and you could argue Why I need a better computer than the one I have if this is what I think, and it’s more because the software and web applications need the higher spec to work properly, and in the case of TVs, the lower spec screens still work perfectly well, you can still view the channels and make out what’s happening.

Make what you will of this rambling, but these are my thoughts, and, hey, what else is a blog for?

Wireless will never work.

One of the main things people drool over in the tech world (other than Robots and Hi-Def), is everything you own becoming wireless. Along with the first problem – It’ll take a while to figure out, and then make – I personally have many problems with a non wireless world :-

1. The cost. Prices of our high-end electronics these daysare bad enough, but having to kit out all pre-existing tech with wireless add-ons will make most people break down to tears
2. The reliability. One thing I can vouch for with wires is that nothing can get in the way of the connection or sever it with out physically severing it. Wireless connections however can easily be stopped getting from one place to another, and connections can also randomly stop working too.
3. The use. The high amount of wireless adapters will also throw out lots of connections, so that means that each different one will have to be different in frequency, wavelength, or just type, to avoid being mashed together ina  big clump of waved mess. Have fun trying to decifer which connecter is used for each thing.
4. Finally, Protesters. Groups of Middle-aged women and college students (please don’t hurt me), already are on the governments heels about microwaves from phones, but imagine what will happen when they find out their children could be exposed to tens of different waves at once, over a course of however long they spend at thier computer desks.

Anyway, I’m sure this sort of thing will come about eventually, but like Blu-Ray, Sky and dozens of other things, I won’t get into.

Alien 5? Number 4 was a flop…

I just got the heads up that Alien 5 is in the production. At the moment, it will be a prequel but it features Ellen Ripley as the main character again. Seeing as though she sees her first alien in the first film, I am intrigued to find out why she is in an Alien film, when the story couldn’t let her know Aliens exist. It will be directed by Ridley Scott, the director of the first film. Let’s see if he can nail the horror aspect of the first again. There is no mention of a release date though, so I will keep you updated on that in the future.

Playstation Home! For Progress Bar Lovers.

Im round my mates house and I ask, “What’s Playstation Home like?” He replies, “I’ll show you.” His hardrive broke so he got a new one, so he had to download and install Playstation Home. It took him 25 minutes to do this. All he got with this download was a crappy apartment and wardrobe feature. He then had to wait 10 minutes to go anywhere, 10 minutes to go somewhere else, and it only took me 5 minutes to realise how un-necessary all of it was. All in all, the mini games were fairly bad as well. My advice is only use this if you really do want to waste your time, or have done absolutely EVERYTHING ELSE on EVERY GAME on the PS3.

On the whole, I’ve been reluctant to try much PS3 stuff, but Motorstorm is fun,the graphics are quite good and altogether, it seems fairly well put together. Too bad the 360 does it all better, and for cheaper.

*UPDATE* Stuff that, it’s the whole PS3. Not just home. Takes so fricking long to download and install!

Twilight 2?

Okay, so this may open up some pretty fierce discussion by doing this, but I’m going to do it anyway.
I saw the trailer for the second twilight film, “new moon”, which comes out a YEAR after the first one (just a bit quick, seeing as L4D2 is getting criticized for the same thing). The main problem I have the entire lack of any type of plot in the trailer. Now, this my be due to the fact I haven’t seen the first one, but there just seemed to be random events dispersed throughout, that could of made the sections from multiple films. You could in a way call this trailer successful, but only because I want to see if it makes any sense on a larger scale. Last thing – Robert Pattinson isn’t that great.

On another note, it’s kinda weird using your own twitter to find out when theres a new post on your own blog.

Take down 4chan? They might have something to say about that!

This post has been lifted off of the blog of Erling Løken Andersen. I stole it becuase I was amazed at how peeved off 4chan were about it.
(Its a large one, click below to see)

There’s angry, and then there’s this.

I was reading the complaints section of the TV magazine we get, and at the back there is the “Handy” complaints section. Now I’m not saying that you can’t have your own opinions, but please take other things into account, and two I read are prime examples of this. #1 was about Top Gear, and how it gets ore boring as they talk less about cars.Firstly, Top Gear isn’t meant to be serious like that, for two main reasons -

1. There are tons of programs like that, and without a unique approach they just blend into the crowd.
2. It appeals to a larger audience like this, getting more ratings and more series funded.

Now, TBH this complaint wasn’t that bad, as TG has strayed from its original context, but the next one is a killer. The main complaint was with the BBCs Wimbledon, but, as you may not at first suspect, it complains about how it was “inconsiderate” to move other programs over to BBC2, so that the match with our British Prodigy, Andy Murray, can be watched uncut without missing a second. The main reason for this was that his recorder didn’t record the last episode of Robin Hood, but in this day and age that can easily be solved, whether with the next day repeat or with iPlayer or DVDs.

Sometimes I think people need to think about things before they complain about them.

Nintendo, What happend to thee?

Where the hell have Nintendo gone? Their E3 releases were shocking.  A little cube which makes waggle commands more responsive (that should have been included with the console on release) and a few games?? Pitiful. I cannot even compare it too Microsofts E3, it was that bad. Nintendo need to come up with some more original ideas to rocket their profits.
