So, I picked up some new PS3 games yesterday For Cheap. One was a shooty game called Fracture (or possibly Frac/ture), which is awesome, except for the part where apparently whoever designed the sound did it REALLY BADLY, because the sound just broke and stopped working. Too many sounds, too many channels, it couldn't cope.
We'll see if it works better next time; in any case I need to dig up the receipt for my PS3, because it's ever-so-slightly borken. I say slightly because there is *one game* that worked previously and now doesn't; I took the game to Gametraders and they tested it on their PS3 and it worked fine, so it's my PS3 that's the problem.
Last night, we were watching the World Cup, and a commentator said something about it being a bad thing if a player looked like he was trying to fake getting hurt to draw a free kick. I made a sarcastic remark about it; Chas said, no, if the ref thinks you're diving, then any doubtful decisions will start going against you, because he'll assume you're trying to con him.
This makes no sense to me, because if this were true, I can't see why Italy would ever get a free kick again. Surely it hasn't somehow escaped the refs, alone of all the world, that Italy dive, fake pain, and fall over any time they feel the breeze caress their baby-soft skin?
If having a record for simulation actually made the refs trust you less, then Italy wouldn't get a penalty without personal confirmation by the Lord God Himself, to Whom all hearts are open.
Basically, Kavalee has a point.
