Re: Neutral fans: Hamilton or Rosberg?
Rosberg. Hamilton is clearly the better driver and has had the worst of the luck overall, but Rosberg winning brings far more amusement and angry reactions so I hope he wins.

Re: The Official Gaming Thread
Overwatch is hilarious, really enjoying it so far on Xbox. I like not having to unlock anything other than meaningless items like skins, and all the characters have their little quirks and perks. Could do with some more maps and be a bit quicker finding games but it runs really well, very rarely enc...

Re: F1 records one doesn't want to hold
Am I misunderstanding something here, because this seems to imply an F1 car only travels a car length in 1 second..F1 MERCENARY wrote:Break out a stop watch and count off 2 seconds. It's not as great a span of time as you imagine. At best it would be just over a 2 car lengths which is completely grounded in reality.

Re: The Official Gaming Thread
Dusted off Mass Effect 3 with a friend over the weekend, still a lot of fun but god the 360 seems so slow now, plus the mics are awful. Never played lost Odyssey but isn't it a multidisk game? Hopefully means ME2 and ME3 aren't far behind if they're releasing multidisk games now.

I think it's a combination - mainly, as you say, Messi/Ronaldo are simply better players playing for better teams.
