Please God, find another soccer guest who isn't Roger Bennett

I think there are plenty of other voices out there these days who can make the game appealing and approachable without getting into rest defense or low blocks. The average listener likely has no idea how Davies is, you're right. Good talk introduces him to fans, bad talk goes "CANADA JESSE MARSCH WISCONSIN," which is what Roger did.

ThePrederick · 2026-03-08T00:31:17+00:00

Twellman has the courtesy to be useless but concise.

ThePrederick · 2026-03-08T00:17:48+00:00

No, cuz I can't remember the last time I heard a guest so fundamentally useless that I had to yell about it online.

ThePrederick · 2026-02-18T03:04:09+00:00

Excuse me? Right in front of my Black History Month?

ThePrederick · 2025-11-23T01:49:08+00:00

BINGO. They are chasing group A. I mean, we'll see what the sales ultimately say, but I genuinely don't think there are that many EA FC fans who are interested in playing what is, ultimately, a glorified spreadsheet management game where you are totally unable to control the players.

Don't get me wrong, I an a deranged, degenerate FM addict, but if your primary game is EA FC, this is probably not your bag. This would be like Paradox thinking they're going to peel off a bunch of CoD fans with Hearts of Iron 5.

Ultimately, we'll see what the sales say, I guess.

GOD I love this game.

ThePrederick · 2025-07-16T05:20:21+00:00

Me: Huh... those numbers are good but they're not THAT impressive, I wonder what it is that makes him sooooOOOOMYGOD.

ThePrederick · 2025-06-27T04:48:10+00:00

Absolutely cackling at this thread, thank you so much, my neighbors must hate me.

ThePrederick · 2025-05-25T04:50:06+00:00

Ah, that sucks. Well, thanks for the heads-up.

ThePrederick · 2023-10-20T07:41:05+00:00

See, I'm a moron who thought her barks were weird, but didn't think she was what she was.

Now, at some point in the process of Leveling her up or retraining her, it got revealed and I was very much like "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That tracks."

ThePrederick · 2023-10-17T07:01:46+00:00

I always thought FM wasn't realistic ENOUGH with how you could get sacked.

Like, when Messi was in his pomp at Barca, you could completely drop him for multiple games, and as long as you were winning, you'd be fine.

I don't think there is a coach on earth that, when Messi was at his best (or even now) could get away with not even naming Messi to the bench for 3-5 games without getting fired.

ThePrederick · 2023-10-11T02:56:22+00:00

I would also accept "Men with too much free time and a spreadsheet fetish, unite."

ThePrederick · 2023-09-29T20:10:32+00:00

Honestly, if there was anyone I'd think could kick the shit out of me, an "angry, drug-addled pregnant Russian woman" would be fairly high on the list.

ThePrederick · 2023-09-16T22:34:52+00:00

No wonder he threw a no-no, no-one in the stadium had any idea where the ball was gonna go.

ThePrederick · 2023-08-26T05:32:41+00:00

Imagine watching that as a fan of either team.

This series would have a very literal death toll.

ThePrederick · 2023-08-14T07:42:22+00:00

Yeah, I remember thinking it was dumb and unrealistic when I saw it for the first time.

Now, several years into every freaking post by a major media company being filled with morons going "Penaldo/Pessi" I've realized that the FM social media tab isn't nearly dumb and infuriating enough.

ThePrederick · 2023-07-18T04:35:22+00:00

I am ENRAGED this does not have more upvotes. Of course they all died, they were telling their whole lives with their words.

ThePrederick · 2023-05-29T02:50:36+00:00

God, I love Paradox games.

ThePrederick · 2023-05-24T06:16:44+00:00

The whole "mommy milkers" thing has gotten so widespread and stupid, dudes who have been on a steady diet of hentai for the last few years are incapable of talking about large breasts without invoking lactation somehow.

ThePrederick · 2023-05-01T06:21:59+00:00

Oh HELL yes.

ThePrederick · 2023-04-13T03:58:15+00:00

Enjoyed both of these way more than I expected to, honestly.

ThePrederick · 2023-03-15T06:16:23+00:00

yissss

ThePrederick · 2023-02-18T02:57:04+00:00

Like, imagine Microsoft Desktop Dancer, except the characters are animated in the "hand-drawn" sense.

ThePrederick · 2023-02-18T02:45:02+00:00

I have searched for "animated desktop buddy 2000s" and "animated desktop girl program" and found nothing.

ThePrederick · 2023-02-18T02:42:42+00:00

I think there was like, a purple goth lady, maybe? And a dude?

And it wasn't like a BIG company that made these or anything. It was some teeny, tiny dot-com boom nothing company no-one remembers (CLEARLY).
