I’ve seen these about all over the place, but never really bothered with it, nor did I know where to actually find my ‘personal’ version..

During a brief bored spell this afternoon, I was browsing the Playstation network on the computer, and stumbled across it.. Anyway, here’s my ‘Portable PSN ID’..

I have seen this trailer like 30+ times (In HD on my PS3 – downloaded from the JP PSN Store). In fact, right after posting this, I’ll be watching it AGAIN.. Then I gotta go to bed.. I’m down with a cold right now, and I’m due to fly to Europe tomorrow – gotta shake it off!

Final Fantasy XIII makes it’s North American and European debut on March 9th 2010 for the Playstation 3. I for one have been eagerly awaiting this latest installment of the FF series ever since I brought my PS3 a couple of years ago. Yesterday Square Enix made the announcement of the date alongside further details about the game. For instance, this is the first in the series that will be fully High Def and the Title track for the music will be British singer Leona Lewis’s ‘My Hands’. Visit http://www.finalfantasy13game.com/ for the latest video including new footage.

So, I’m now counting the days… Only 115 more to go

Oh, yes, here’s the video too…

Fifa 10 – My Goal of the Season

Cliff Gettings — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:18:17 +0000

For the last two nights, I’ve had Fifa fever, but unfortunately have been unable to satisfy my craving due to Power Cuts at my apartment. Tonight, no Power Cut (so far! touch wood). Fifa Time…

Accrington vs Macclesfield.
There are 8 games left on the current season. My Virtual Pro – currently playing Right Back – starts for Macclesfield in this vitally important fixture. Within 10 minutes Accrington go 1 up due to some very sloppy defending. On the stroke of half time, Macclesfield equalize with a bit of goal mouth scramble and a lucky pop into the net.
Into the second half and the teams are level. On the 65th Minute, My Virtual Pro, gets the ball, and does something truly amazing, wonderful and unexpected to get the Winner in the game.
This goal is one of my best goals I’ve scored in Fifa10, certainly the longest range goal I’ve scored. Man I love this game! How big can football get? Enjoy

My Virtual Pro and the Power Cut

I’ll let you in on a little secret – I love Fifa10! Ok, ok, that’s not really much of a secret.. Ok then here’s another one, While I absolutely love Fifa10, I am pretty damn crap at it. Today I played with my Virtual Pro, Playing as Lowly division 2 side Macclesfield against Chesterfield – I played them twice.. The first time, I think I was drawing the game, my VP was having an unbelievably good game (translation = I was really getting to grips with some fancy skills and flicks) until about the 82nd minute, when inexplicably he gets a rush of confidence and decides to shoot from an angle from about a mile away. 19 times out of 20, the ball wouldn’t even trouble the keeper. Not only was this ball on target, it was a screamer, and I knew when I hit it, it was gonna be good.. It was going in, no doubt in my mind, It would have been my best goal of Fifa10 since I purchased the game, and I guess it would certainly unlock another achievement for my Virtual Pro… But.. Just before that ball crossed the line… BAM! Total Silence, Total Darkness, Totally no power whatsoever!! WTF!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

This was around 7pm, or just after, the sun was going down, and it was pretty dark already. Power was later restored about 11.30pm.. Some 4 and a half hours later.. 4 and a half hours of waiting around (some of it in total darkness, some of it outside), no air conditioner, worried about food in the fridge, worried that if not back on tonight, then I wouldn’t be sleeping – meaning I wouldn’t be working tomorrow – cannot have that, big big boss is in town too.. It seems to cap off an unbelievably week of bad luck for me (I won’t go into all the other shit).

Anyway, There I was 11.30 sipping at some water sat in a chair looking out into the night sky on the balcony (nothing else to do), and BAM! just like that the lights came back up, the Air con started up, and everything was right with the world again, Fab.

After checking all the electrics and what not, I fired up Fifa10 once again, and played Chesterfield (again!), this time, I lost, I was getting worse at this game, but at the same time I was getting better, the skill I commanded of my Virtual Pro was fantastic, he was having a blinder, shame about the other players really. Anyway, I knew I would never repeat that goal that almost was again, but I did have some nice moments in the game. Not all of them I captured, but I caught one moment for you here. I hope you like…

Also, I captured another Video, this time of My player in the Arena, in United Colours, doing some step-overs, a flick and scoring a great goal.. Hope you enjoy.
