There was an email in the last few months on a bombcast where a guy talked about playing counterstrike while on methamphetamines or speed or something. I really need to listen to that again. Does anyone remember which one it was from?
@sterling: I didnt mean it wasnt popular at all in the US. I just mean like in Australia even though it is growing in popularity it is still the 4th or 5th (In Australia its probably 1/2: NRL /AFL - depending on the state, 3: cricket, 4/5: Soccer or Rugby Union) most popular/watched/played sport.
It's good to see women getting interested in the game though. Just shows how important it is to be able to play people of your own gender.
The other australian player wont be anyone other than Tim Cahill though.
@sterling: I think the reason they have women on the cover with Messi in AU and the US is because Mens Football is significantly less popular in US and AU compared with the other regions so: "What the hell. Lets just put a woman on there. That will be good press". It will showcase the new female playable teams as well.
While in all these other regions Mens Football is significantly more popular compared to other sports. So they can't not put a dude on there I guess.
@twigger89: Yes there are other players. My point is putting any of them on the cover isn't significantly better because there aint no English Messi or Irish Ronaldo. I personally would want kane or sterling on there tbh but hey limited options. Whats with your weird disdain for Henderson though, just because he is on the cover doesn't mean he is the face of English football.
They should be putting a female UK player on the UK cover though. I dont see how womens football is more popular in Australia than it is in the UK. Seems strange to me. Maybe I have no clue though.
Why are you complaining about Jordan Henderson on the cover? Sure he is an only above average player but if they want a player from the UK on the cover they don't have many options. There just arent many star players who were born in the UK. Gareth Bale maybe. But there isnt anybody who significantly stands out in the epl.
It seems kinda bad if they are only doing women on the cover in one region though. Well they are doing it in Australia.
I think that's meant to be a former Valyrian settlement/ruins not the islands of Valyria itself. If it actually is meant to be that then someone done fucked up. The smoking sea around valyria isn't smoking as in there's a bit of fog. It is smoking as in there are active volcanoes and geysers.
I find it offensive that some people would jump to the conclusion that he is being contrarian for the sake of page views. Tom Chick has been review/critiquing games since the 90s for Computer Gaming World and he has always had strong opinions on games that most other people adore. Clearly he thinks differently to most people when writing a review.
