I’m back baby, back from the land of the US of A! I ate far too many pizza slices, walked my poor feet into submission, and drove a car on the wrong side of the road – man that was confusing as hell. I enjoyed my time abroad but man am I glad to be back… there is so much Dota to be played!
Also, it happens to be Thursday which means I get to ramble on about some ancient title. Today’s game isn’t some old-school shooter, or even a platformer. It’s Striker – the very first football simulator I gave many hours to.
There was something addictive about it. It had a ton of teams (no South Africa unfortunately, meaning I always played with my backup – Portugal) and a variety of game modes to try out.
As a kid, I was only allowed to play games during holidays or over the weekend. I remember counting down the days to Friday so I could get lost in some SPERTS! I’ve definitely changed, I don’t even play Fifa anymore. Striker is different though – it’s actually fun! #Shotsfired
Don’t believe me? See for yourself:
Ok what the hell are the buttons? I just lost my first 2 minute game 8-0!

Katana >>>>>> any other sword (in physical existence, we all know Lightsabers >>> all

Sword of Omens is a close second after Lightsabers for me.

I’d rather have the Sword of Power thank you very much! Though I would not mind giving Skeletor’s Havoc Staff a twirl or two…

I’ll stick to a broadsword thanks.

Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:17
Agreed. Though I think I’d go Claymore.
Hammersteyn
May 14, 2015 at 16:19
Even better, though it might be a little big. I mean I’m pretty sure I can swing a broadsword like AB does a cricket bat.
Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:19
Haha. Yes. The average Claymore was 1.4m long and 2.5kgs. Not quite easy to wield.

PSSSSHHHH me, I’ll rather use a Zweihander
Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:23
Those are huge.
Hammersteyn
May 14, 2015 at 16:24
I’ll give you a hander?
Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:23
I’d like to see them do that the other way around.
ReaperOfSquirrels
May 14, 2015 at 16:24
Why’d you want to hold the blade and poes your enemy with the handle?
Hammersteyn
May 14, 2015 at 16:24
Bwahahahaha!
Captain JJ Browman

Because when Curso walks in on the body he’s gonna be like:
Well I guess it was too much

It’s like they say when you fight Tyson. He hits you and you have a broken jaw. You block when he hits you, you have a broken arm and jaw.
Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:25
Sounds about right.
Sageville
May 15, 2015 at 12:29
I’m sure that’s a bastard sword actually.

Well then it suits me just fine XD

Random recommendation alert: Have you guys heard of groupees.com? It’s kinda like Humble Bundle, but a lot more indies are involved. I only found it recently so I might just be delayed. Check it out. I tell you this partly because I care about you guys, but 99% because I want you to buy the epic music bundle. I need those last two stretch goals!

He was gone? ;P
ReaperOfSquirrels
May 14, 2015 at 16:23
I’m not sure, I kept seeing these really badly photoshopped pics of him in the States. So figured he went to the Vale and got locked in Geoff’s basement again.
Captain JJ Browman
May 14, 2015 at 16:26
So it’s like visiting Geoff, only he locks the door behind you?
