“Portrait? I don’t have a photo ready for this, but I’ll see what I’ve got in My Documents. Ah yes, an animated GIF Tim sent me of David Hasselhoff wearing David Hasselhoff briefs, which zooms into his crotch recursively, forever. Perfect.”

Over at the PC Gamer blog today, the full story of my doomed attempt to play the one game I know for sure I’ll hate: Football Manager. It doesn’t go well.

 
 

Chris Livingston: Brilliant, hilarious article. Glad to see it unabridged! I love how you fine your goalie for getting injured, and that he sees this as reasonable, and that you get all your information from the newspapers -- just like a real manager!

Mike: On an entirely unrelated note - but one not email-worthy - did you notice that the Telegraph put Belle and Sebastian's front man up in the top fifty songwriters of all time? Despite it being fairly arbitrary, I was quite pleased to see Stuart there. Until I noticed Amy Winehouse was fourteen places higher.

The_B: Ah yes, Football Manager. I share in your distain for this series, except I've decided to make my initation humilation all the more public... I'm in the FM Live beta...

I SHALL BRING THEM DOWN FROM WITHIN USING ONLY MY WEAPONS OF INEPTNESS!!


CloakRaider: Fantastic article. I literally laughed out loud at most of it. Good show, jolly good show.

 
Pentadact: Okay, probably because it's six am, but that link confused the hell out of me for a minute. That's awesome.
 

Lack_26: Haha, I loved the article in the magazine. This is even better. I recommend crumpets and tea as a reward.

WeakLemonDrink: Excellent. I would've read the magazine version, but subscriptions.com currently seem to think it'd be a good idea to give me the latest mag a day before the new one comes out.

Dante: I love Football Manager, but I fully accept it's one of the most ridiculously impenetrable and un-user freindly games the world has ever seen.

If you don't know much about football into the bargain... well God help you is all I can say.

Joe 'Davik' Brown: Nice find on the Robin Walker thing! Oh, and I loved the article; the full version shouls have been in the mag.

Fever: Ha, I've actually been to Ruzomberok few times. It's not far from where I live.
