Oh ya, I bred the gold one too. Actually a few of them. I actually had so much gil, I had nothing left to buy. Weren't there rumours about ways to revive her and that she wasn't dead? Pre proper internet days. -

Yes,I meant 7. The random battle music still makes me jump ? I nearly went mad trying to get a chococbo there. They run away so quickly. Obviously I bet the snake using the limit break and infinite health hack. My god, you ain't beating that at that stage of the game without it. Interesting that a new one just appears then. I always thought it would just be gone. Although I surely killed it first time around eventually as well. Some of the graphics look like art to me, the towns in particular. But ya, the difference between cut scenes is actually crazy. The blocky stuff looks dated. -

I'm working my way through the original FF8 for the first time since I played it when released. More than 20 years I suppose. Took me 3 hours to get out of Midgar. I'm in Junon now. Took me around 100 hours each of the 3 times I played it back then. Will be considerably less this time. I'm really enjoying it. -
So it's already taped? When is it again? WWE is just such a bad product at this point,I really don't have any interest in watching. It's like a football team with the best players, but the manager insists on each player playing blindfolded with one leg tied up, only for their place to be taken by a guy that either retired or should have retired at least a decade ago. They just can't seem to innovate in any entertaining way.

Would have been interesting to see Charlie play him! -

That's usually the way with books and movies ain't it. The more nuanced part that is. -

Oh man no, it's too much and the writing is too small. I got a bit into it,but I just found it too much like work. No doubt it's great for someone who puts the time in and has a better attention span than I! -

Loved the movie, so probably wouldn't read the book after that. He actually became Clough. -

I like the sound of them. Will check them out. Thanks. Actually,maybe this thread could be moved to the "I can't believe it's not football" section? Might be good to have a few non CV topics there. Thanks. -
Hi all, So as this trying time we are all looking for ways to occupy ourselves and to keep our health ,both mentally and physically, as well as it can be. I'm big into reading, although I do like an old audiobook as well. I'm not really into your typical football autobiography as I have read some that were clearly just ways to cash in without really telling us anything. So , let's have it, what are your favourite sports books? My top 3 in no particular order are 1-The greatest footballer you never saw-The Robin Friday story. Put together by a member of Oasis no less ,this is is a great read that's presented in the form of old newspaper articles and match reports. Really interesting story about a wildman of football. Credit to @Tyrone Shoelaces as his post on another thread reminded me that Friday was making as much as a block layer at times ,as he would have playing football. Different times! 2-Boys will be boys. I know nothing about American football,nor do I even watch it now, but this book was great. A real warts and all insight into a winning American football team. 3- Paul McGraths autobiography. Ya,I know I said I don't like these generally,but this certainly isn't a sanitized version of his life. It's actually very sad and he was very brave to be so honest. So,looking forward to hearing what you guys have enjoyed. Might find something to keep me occupied for a few hours!

There probably wasn't a huge amount of difference in the money between the 2 jobs then. Actually you have given me an idea.... New thread incoming -

I must go back to Persona. I did like it, but I just got sidetracked with so many games. Ah, I am debating whether to order FF7- did you order the physical copy? -
