The new review is up, as indicated by my handy del.icio.us RSS feed on the left. The lazy or the incompetant can just click here for the review, though.

Accumulatively over the years, I have spent many hours, days and weeks on the Football/Championship Manager series, so it feels nice to put nearly a decade’s worth of wasted time into something (semi) constructive. Amongst the most memorable of the moments playing the game, was when I discovered that one of the older versions (I forget which one) used your manager’s name when creating new players. As I’d maturely named my manager ‘Roger McTodger’, this led a whole generation of Nigerian (I have no idea why Nigerian and not any others) footballers to share my comedy surname. I still have the screenshot of a defensive midfielder called ‘Lucky McTodger’ who’d accumulated an impressive 4 caps and 1 goal.

I guess my avatar must have been quite promiscuous to have such a large clan represented around the world. Lucky fella.
