Footy in progress.


If you were wondering how my and Jay's first Pro Evo 2008 tourney is going as seperate teams, here are a selection of my notes from our first two group games. To avoid confusion, I have divided each team into colours - my Spanish team in red, his German team in grey.
  • Torres wonder flick!
  • Cheating AI equaliser
  • Booooo
  • Jay not winning
  • Now losing
  • Ohnoes, he lost.
  • Me hitting woodwork, goalie’s face, defender’s groin, pretty much everything
  • TORRES!
  • Jay making noise like open fridge
  • Jay looking like he is going out of tournament
  • Morose - losing again
  • Even more morose now
  • OMG - EQUALISER :-D
More on this tomorrow. In the meantime, here is a sampler of the Torres wonder flick as mentioned above!

A blog? Why?



So, I am sure you are wondering what this funtastic blog is all about. Are we moving away from the main site? Do we have too much time on our hands? Are we trying to leap onto the cool kids' bandwagon? Yes, and no.

Y'see, blogs are handy things, and it occurred to me and Jay (but mostly me) that for a gaming website such as ours having an associated blog would enable us to splurge more gaming-based oddness your way on a more regular basis. It'll allow us to upload videos and screenshots from whatever we are currently reviewing so you can see how we're getting along, whilst at the same time it'll allow us to communicate with you chaps much easier which is what we really want to start doing. Think of it as a first step along the community yellow brick road. We aren't moving away from the site in any shape or form, though; keep your eyes peeled for something rather shiny and new in the upcoming months.

It'll also allow us to talk about things as they happen, with anything we reckon is newsworthy being uploaded and put under our funky critical microscope. Plus, we'll occasionally just add something fun; something not to do with gaming at all. Our aim with UltraNinjas from the very start has been to tear away the pretentious, business-like gloss that other places seem happy to carry and instead just report gaming for what gaming is; a bloody fun pasttime.

Onwards and upwards!

Tuuuuuunes



Last night I found myself watching a documentary on T. Rex and Marc Bolan, and it ended up with me surfing around YouTube for a good three hours listening in to many of their tunes. I've been a bit of a closet T. Rex fan for ages now, but it seems that I am going to have to shell out for some more of their records at some point in the near future. My poor, poor wallet :-(.

Quite what Jay makes of all this glam rock gubbins is a mystery to me. I can imagine him rocking up to Top of the Pops in the early 1970s and completely refusing to get involved before choosing to go and watch the Allman Brothers or something else instead.
