Top 5 of anything

[Disco]

No way is Human Rights FC winning with their torture bucks better than Blackburn in 95.

[niko_cee]

Nothing beats the sight of Tony Adams in full flight leathering it past whoever was in goal for Everton, even if it wasn't as drama-laden as other offerings (I assume they'd won the league by this point).

[Jimmy Floyd]

From memory I think they had to win that game to win it, and that was the fourth in a 4-0, so it was a good crowner.

I also seem to remember Liverpool smoking them in a dead game afterwards, mind.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, I always had that in my mind as their last game of the season, but apparently not.

[Mellberg]

Same. Had it down as the last of a 4-0 against Everton (in the blazing sunshine), but was sure it was the last game of the season.

[Trancemeister]

Top 5 Final Fantasy Superbosses

1. Bhunivelze (FFXIII-3) on new game+. First gameplay he's not even a superboss.
2. Penance (FFX)
3. Ozma (FFIX)
4. Ereshkigal (FFXIII-3)
5. Yiazmat (FFXII)

[ItalAussie]

No love for the Ruby Weapon? Or Emerald, but that's a little more structured, I appreciate.

Ozma was fun though.

[Trancemeister]

Ruby gets a honourable mention but with Hades + Knights of Round he'll go down quite easy.

[ItalAussie]

Ruby gets a honourable mention but with Hades + Knights of Round he'll go down quite easy.

Fair. I enjoy the setup for that one, where it's smart to come in with two dead characters. Once you're into the routine you've got it, but there's a hairy few turns at the start when you're getting the pieces in place.

Emerald has the fun game where you try and minimize your materia coming in.

[niko_cee]

KotR totally borks all of the big FF7 bosses, but I guess you actually can't beat those two without it, can you? The thrill of getting it/getting the golden chocobo though.

God I loved that game.

[Trancemeister]

You can but it'll take longer time. A shitload of counter attack materias and hero drinks + elixirs is all you need.

[Baz]

KotR totally borks all of the big FF7 bosses, but I guess you actually can't beat those two without it, can you? The thrill of getting it/getting the golden chocobo though.

God I loved that game.ive never played it. Looking forward to the PS4 remake.

[bruhnaldo]

1. In sleep
2. No parachute skydive into the Atlantic ocean on a beautiful day off the coast of Miami.
3. 200mph into the wall at Daytona Intl Speedway
4. Floating in space and then removing the helmet
5. Killed for treason after having exposed whatever secrets vault the governments of the world have, such as the existence of alien species.

6. Shagged to death by Serena Williams.

[Disco]

Gasping into the cold vacuum of space as your eyeballs explode is an odd entry into that sort of list, especially if you can only think of three more preferable ways to go.

[Smjffy]

I don't think it works like that, does it? He'd suffocate inside 20 seconds, his bodily fluids will boil and vaporise whilst the rest of his body expands like Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory whilst getting frozen.

[SvN]

I guess it's the fact that it means he'd have been floating in space, which would be pretty awesome.

Top 5

1 - Championship Manager 0102
2 - Premier Manager 97
3 - Football Manager 2005
4 - Ultimate Soccer Manager
5 - LMA Manager '99

[SvN]

That original LMA Manager was superb. The only non-PC management game that's ever been any good.

[Smjffy]

I don't know about the only one. Premier Manager 98 on the PS1 was decent.

97 on the PC was my favourite. The sheer speed and turning off aging allowed multistarred players.

[SvN]

Actually, there was one management game before LMA manager that was alright. It had a "skip to end" button for matches, which I loved - especially against cannon fodder. Loads of games seemed to end up with mental scorelines such as 6-4, 7-3, etc.

Can't remember for the life of me what it was.

[Disco]

USM, with it's endless inflation, was a masterpiece.

[Lewis]

I had one of the LMA Manager games. Probably 2001. Inter were the best team to be on it, and the only formation that actually seemed to work was 3-4-3. Christian Vieri and Alvaro Recoba were the two best players on the game (Diego Tristan and Patrick Kluivert were mega too), and Mohamed Kallon became equally brilliant after a couple of seasons, so you were set, and then you could spend most of your time doing all the weird shit like choosing the advertising hoardings. The match engine was about a decade ahead of Football Manager as well.

[bruhnaldo]

I guess it's the fact that it means he'd have been floating in space, which would be pretty awesome.

Thank you ffs

But also I thought the removal of the helmet was more of an insta-death so maybe I've made a mistake.

I just thought like it would be cool to get shot into space and just kinda be out there for awhile. I bet looking all the stars and shit would be pretty lit.

[bruhnaldo]

Not bad phonics but I'd put C #1 and move D and DD down one respectively.

[bruhnaldo]

1. Jesus Walks
2. Devil in a New Dress
3. Lost in the World

5. Reborn (w/ Kid Cudi as Kids See Ghosts)

1. Street Lights

3. Hold My Liquor
4. Flashing Lights
5. Saint Pablo

Neither of you having Runaway on your top 5 is a disgrace really.

[The Merse]

USM, with it's endless inflation, was a masterpiece.

The point where the economy failed altogether was wonderful. Bungs and bribes were the best thing in there, though.

[niko_cee]

USM, with it's endless inflation, was a masterpiece.

Pretty sure Onside had this, where in the management bit you could toggle ticket prices really low to fuel endless expansion of the stadium. Like, a million seater. Pioneered 3D highlights as well.

[bruhnaldo]

Neither of you having Runaway on your top 5 is a disgrace really.

I don't disagree but something about Runaway just seems like... idk it's like a masterpiece in it's own light, in it's entirely own lane.

Idk.

Tilkedromes:

1) Sepang

I'm still not over Brighton Championship outright 2016/17 at 16/1. Seven point lead with three games to play, reduced to a one point lead by the final day. Then winning at ten man Villa who are already on the beach, until a last minute Jack Grealish equaliser sinks it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Alt Gr is vastly underrated.

[Disco]

Pretty sure Onside had this, where in the management bit you could toggle ticket prices really low to fuel endless expansion of the stadium. Like, a million seater. Pioneered 3D highlights as well.

Whoever made USM obviously wanted a functioning economy with transfers and other stuff rising over time but they clearly didn't bank on people playing very far into the future because you'd end up with scarves costing hundreds of pounds and a full on roast dinner (I'm sure these were included) for about a grand.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a great day for being a prick about something completely irrelevant to you.

Sorry for your loss.

[ItalAussie]

I use CTRL + SHIFT + T the most.

I remember the day I learned that key command. Changed my life.

Top of the list, and by quite a lot.

[Smjffy]

Googled it. Never used it but I imagine it'll use it every day now. What a godsend that is.

Why didn't you just press it? :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

I googled it, because I suspected you all of an elaborate prank and that Ctrl + Shift + T closes all your programs or something.

[Pepe]

Why didn't you just press it? :D

I did and nothing happened.

[Smjffy]

Why didn't you just press it? :D

I was on the mobile at the time.

These are good shouts. You're a fellow admirer of Push The Sky Away (the album) I see. Possibly his best work, in my opinion. Which is saying a lot in a catalogue that strong. I would also rank Higgs Boson Blues right up there with the two you've picked off it.

I got into NC when Lazarus came out. Loved it. Started getting into some of his older stuff. Then PTSA came out and I found it totally underwhelming. Couldn't get into it at all. Basically gave up with it and then saw NC at Glastonbury in 2013 and he did We No Who U R, Jubilee Street and Push The Sky Away and everything just clicked. In an instant. Since then, it's been my favourite NC album. Do agree that HBB is incredible too, but the other two are just insanely brilliant.

Can't wait to see what he gets up to next - Skeleton Tree was good, but it felt like an extremely difficult album for him (for obvious reasons) and it just doesn't quite come together for me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There was a very weird time, and I'm guessing this was fairly precisely 1997, where for schoolyard survival it was imperative to have a strong opinion about Spice Girls rankings. I never really knew which one was which, but learned quickly that if you ranked 'Emma' at the top, you didn't get laughed at. All of the others were a bit of a risk.

[Baz]

having just watched Live in Istanbul 1997 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baWuC-hAqTc)Why? :D

[Shindig]

They were a cultural touchstone, like all of Gazza's excellent tracksuits.

[-james-]

Why? :D

Saw a bit of Spice Up Your Life from that concert and my interest was piqued, so I stuck the rest on while I did a workout. As Jimmy says it can be a pretty important thing to have an opinion on.

The other take-away is that while their highs are great, I'm not sure they have more than five or so proper good songs.

[Baz]

Fair enough.

What if you ranked them now (https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3177351/where-are-spice-girls-2022-emma-bunton-appeared-circle) based on #phwoar?

Mel B and Emma got better, Victoria got worse.

Mel C and Geri (James is right) stayed the same.
