    Terraria

    Noticed there's no Terraria thread, so decided to make one. A recently released game from a small independent studio similar to Minecraft survival crossed with retro Zelda games, with the focus more on action then creation, although it still has plenty of creative potential. It's available...

    FA To Punish Withdrawals From National Team

    Personally I think this is a ridiculous idea, if a player withdraws from an England squad then they don't have the desire to play for the team and should be dropped until they earn another call-up, not punished in club football for prioritising their club. Also the FA should show discretion with...

    BBC 606 To Close, Online Budget Slashed

    Thought this might be of interest to some of the users here. I've been a 606 lurker/user for years due to the quality of the Newcastle board there (apart from when it's overrun by trolls), and think it's a shame that it's been so badly run/moderated by the BBC, and now they're just killing it...

    Andy Carroll Left Out of U21 Squad, Senior Call Up Imminent?

    Andy Carroll has been left out of the new U21 squad, currently the two main theories are that it's because he's being moved up to the senior squad, or that it's because of his court date next month. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,19692_6413466,00.html If this is true I think it might...

    Possible New Facepack In Progress

    Got bored and decided to try my hand at a small face pack, starting with just the Newcastle squad (+ players I sign) and seeing where things go from there. I aim to get players in their national team kit rather than club kit, since that doesn't change. Here's a sample of ones I've done so far...
