Gameweek 4

After last week's bye game the team played exceptionally well against a solid opponent. At half time, Sega FC dominated play with a 3-0 lead over Velocity and kept up the pressure in the second half. Our fitness was very good, however seeing how the team wasn't as difficult as Game Week 2 I think there is still room for improvement as running lessened in the second half.

Also of note, Joe, Sega FC's new and traitorous keeper from rival team Atari FC got his first clean sheet of the season with some good saves in goal. WELL DONE COLOUR BOY!!!

Goal Tally:
Conor - 3
Brandon & Tom -1

Next weeks game is at 9:15! Cya there!

I Entered a Competition!!!

On the underwater.com.au website I've decided to enter my favourite picture into a competition!

The picture I decided to enter was this one mainly because of the fact that the quality is so awesome and the lengths I had to get the picture (was really hard because of movement in water).

I'm thinking of entering this one as well... I'm not sure yet...

Whats your thoughts?

If our group was Austin Powers

I reckon that if we could find a character for each important member of Austin Powers then we would say:

Austin Powers: Sooooo Conor because they both are so wierd but freaking hilarious.
Dr Evil: Matthew Wong... because he's so evil...
Dr Evil's Son: Tom, because he is such an adolescent deliquent
Mini Me: Conrad... because he is so small but powerful!!!
No. 2: Geoffrey because everyone makes fun of him...

Any other important characters you think would suit other members or changes to this list then you can improve if you want for funsies. But I still reckon Conor is Austin Powers.

GO!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

PS: Indoor tomorow XD

Prince of Persia

I bought the bluray/dvd/digital movie of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and I actually really enjoyed it. Considering what the movie had to make into a story line (nothing) i think they did a very good job of both creating one and executing it really well.

I wanted to see more traditional moves from the Prince though, like for example, he only did a couple of acrobatic moves from the game and his fighting was still epic. The actor was well suited to the role and he definitely recreated the image of Prince really well.

Coldplay: Most Sleep-Inducing Band

Below is the full article from Ultimate Guitar. Its not dissing Coldplay as such but...yeah:

Coldplay are the band most likely to send people to sleep, according to the findings of a new survey.

Canadian singer Michael Buble was second in the poll, while Irish group Snow Patrol came third.

The top-5 was completed by Alicia Keys and Jack Johnson, who is famed for his beach side easy listening music.


The study, conducted by Travelodge, found that 84% of people listen to music in bed before going to sleep, while one in four fall asleep with their iPod on.

Fifteen per cent of adults said they get a much better night's sleep if they have listened to music before drifting off.

Stevie Williams, of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, said that “listening to soft, relaxing music at bedtime leads to a number of different benefits to a night's sleep”.

He continued: "These benefits include a longer sleep duration period, fewer night time awakenings and shortening of the time it takes to fall asleep."

The music of composer Mozart and Radiohead also proved popular with sleepers. You can see the full top-10 below:

01. Coldplay
02. Michael Buble
03. Snow Patrol
04. Alicia Keys
05. Jack Johnson
06. Taylor Swift
07. Mozart
08. Barry White
09. Leona Lewis
10. Radiohead

Sega FC Gameweek 2

Well I think we all know what we need to improve on after a game like that!!! I'm not gonna pick on people individually because I can do the same with myself and the list will take up a whole blog post on the things i need to improve on. For starters I think fitness for me was a major problem and I think everyone else in the team. Not only were we tired but as the game played on we got more and more desperate and the marking got very sloppy. Defenders need to realise that the best they can do against an opponent better than them is to simply be in front of them and pressure them into passing. Often the pass is then intercepted or they will try to go around you where you can then tackle, not before!

A second thing, I think it's a bit rich to say to someone "Why don't you come back?" and then leave that person in defence while everyone goes up front... That person knows who they are.

Oh yeah, and lastly Joe, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!! Your doing a great job in goal against a hard team. You need to be the spirit of the team and keep us going!!! If you lose confidence which I think might have been what happened, then goals will start flooding in. Be Determined!!!

Myself? I think I need the running machine because fitness was disgraceful. I didn't come back as a result alot of the time but after some fitness training I should improve :D I haven't played full games out field with you guys ever, so I think I've simply got to improve my fitness to last the full game.

Unlucky guys and I hope that after next week's bye game we come back stronger than EVER!!!

Score: Sega FC 1 - 10 ???

Goal Scorers:
Conor - 1

Reverse Goal Tally Board:
Joe - 10

Favourite Horror Movies

Okay, I'm going to make a list of some of the best horror movies. Any opinions or additions are welcomed.

1) Jaws: Ok... its a classic and i'm a bit biased. But for its time, you have to admit it must of been pretty scary. I think the best part is the part where he explodes a scuba tank (implausible). Very good film!

2) Friday the 13th: Who can not see this and squirm? A bit? Well its a slasher film and yes I think it is also a classic that needs to be recognised. Jason Voorhees starred in my first horror film I have seen... No i didn't sleep very often afterwards...

3) Predator: EPIC!!! Its kinda a horror film right? The sequels and "Predators" was good but nothing could really beat the original. Gotta see it.

4) A Nightmare on Elm Street: Try sleeping after watching this! Yes, another slasher film involving Freddy Kreuger (apprentices being Eddy and Joe) and its a ripper involving a dream killer. I've seen parts of the original and the whole remake at the cinema and the only thing that made me jump was when Taylor Bates screamed when Freddy appeared unexpectantly because of sleep deprivation while the characters are driving at night. Damn... Scary quotes involve "Did you know that after your heart stops beating your brain functions for up to 7 minutes? We have six more minutes to play!" and also the best scene is when the girl is thrown round the room in her sleep before she is killed. Awesome build up and kill scene! Oh yeah and the funny bit was when a girl is dreaming and falls into a hallway of blood which then Freddy says, "How's this for a wet dream?". What!? I thought it was funny...

5) Halloween: Should be recognised as a good classic horror and this is all I'll say because I haven't actually seen it.

6) Open Water: I may have told some of you about this film but i think this is one of the scarier BASED ON A TRUE STORY films. It involves a couple of divers that get left behind after a diving trip and they stay in the water for hours before they die. The bodies were never found. The scene where the girl gives up and just swims down into shark infested water is really sad (she dies).

7) The Ring: Pretty good film. Makes you think... and squirm...

8) Ghost Ship: Not a well known horror film but the part where everyone is cut in half while dancing is friggin... gross...

9) Saw: Everyone says its good. And it must be good if they make so many sequels so its making an appearance on this list. (Haven't seen it).

10) Untraceable: Reasonably new and you probably haven't heard of it. Basically about a guy who kills people while streaming live on the internet, the more people who view, the faster the person dies. (Eg. A guy is in a tank of water and the more people who view the stream, the faster industrial grade sulphuric acid is pumped into the tank.)

Add some more comments about movies you have seen that you classify as an awesome horror movie.

Fuck Studying

A agree with ashwin. Its shit. Thats why I'm going diving tomorow!

So Screw You EXAMS!!!

PS: Withdrawal Symptoms setting in from 24 hours without PS3...Still mourning... ;(

Red Flashing Light: Death

The PS3 fans will know what this means.

Yep! My PS3 has now deceased (2007-2010)

Well there I was, playing my beloved gaming console, when all of the sudden the system shut off while beeping angrily and started flashing a red light. Well I turned it back on, it started up and then a yellow light flashed and then a continuous flashing red light. If you don't understand what this means, it means I've killed my PS3 with love by playing it too much. It must of overheated and died.... loudly.

I have no idea what to do now.... its all over....

NAOOOOO!!!!

PS: What's worse is that my Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 disk is still inside the dead console. DAMIT!
