The brand that started in the 1990s with playing cards and video
games exploded in popularity again with the release
of the augmented
reality game Pokemon Go
last summer, which momentarily catapulted Nintendo stock, though the
game proved to be mostly a passing fad.
After the report's publication
last night, developers
of games for the Oculus Rift headset decried Luckey and pulled support
of the virtual
reality hardware.
Wengers method
of bluffing the board & fans to keep him for a further season... > We loose enough
games to take us completely off winning the league, then say it wasn't in our control, we then fight till the end and win
last few
games so we look good and like we worked hard to earn the 4th place trophy.He then links us with awesome transfers (which we all know wont happen), and finally while Man U / City and Chelsea organise pre-season friendlies against top clubs, we play the weak ones, win and look all good to go next season without any additions... AND THEN
REALITY STRIKES..
Just pointing out the streaky nature
of baseball and the
reality of what this team was
last year... an average team for 93
games then an extremely good team for 69
games plus the playoffs.
So in
reality, 16
games of poor baseball is not even beginning to approach the level
of mediocrity we saw for over half
of last year.
@Nothing Changed i agree about 5 years ago, personally i'm finding our
game exiting to watch with a strong belief that no mater what the score is we will win the
game, obviously we don't win every
game but the belief is there for me and i'm enjoying watching more then
last season, we have to except that some teams in Europe are almost impossible to catch and City is coming close to that point
of dominating years to come and only Man - U or Chelsea could muster up a small challenge, sad but unfortunately we have to face up to
reality.
That's the
reality when you step outside
of looking solely at the
last game as a barometer.
Whether Arsenal finished 4th
of 5th to a real Arsenal fan would not have changed the
realities of Wenger's failings and his failings are not from the
last 10 meaningless
games, no they are over the
last 3 - 5 seasons and arguably longer.
This is the sad
reality for Brendan Rodgers and his team, who despite a 13 -
game unbeaten run stretching from mid-December until their defeat against Manchester United at the end
of last month, could soon find themselves eight points adrift
of a Champions League spot.
The season before
last 14 15 we did better with the points than
last season even though we came second from
last season we know we conceded many goals from set pieces and were very short on goal scoring the logic
of this season was to fix the defensive department and the offensive department by introducing a defender to reduce the amount
of goals conceded unless holding is to be the man we havent us
of yet fixed the problem on the offensive department we all know the only offensive player is chuba apkom well else we have not addressed the problem so in
reality I do not except Arsenal to finish the season with more than 70 points and personally think minimum point required to win the premier league is 85 points have we got that in our squad it will remain to be seen if chuba and holding are enough for a key to unlock the season we will soon find out but I think MR wenger is gambling with the introduction
of new manageress which lives us with Liverpool and Leicester and who will take the points off united chelsea and city the next 6
games should give us the indication to what may happen to the long run for the new year
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition
of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release
of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state
of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in
reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid
of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy
of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid
of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid
of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if
last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction
of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return
of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort
of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative
of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition
of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle
of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any
of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind
of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack
of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result
of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest
of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands
of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none
of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club
of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid
of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field
of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version
of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history
of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet
of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival
of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone
of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players
of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that
of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part
of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the
game has changed quite dramatically in the
last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet
of those who were well aware all along
of the potential pitfalls
of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
The
reality of their dire situation finally hit home

Being somewhat limited in my freedom to be entertained as a kid, for many years
of my life, gaming served as a diverse means
of escape for me away from the trappings
of a mostly mundane, repetitive life, at the end
of the school day I would often think to myself «alright... so what are some
of the good things that I have to look forward to when I get home...», one
of the first things that I would do as soon as I got home after school was play FINAL FANTASY on PlayStation, I would eagerly walk home as quickly as I could just so that I could continue playing from the part where I had
last left off the day before, as pathetic as this may come across, I can confidently say that many
of the happiest moments that I have had in my life have been while being utterly enthralled by the developments in the
games, I think that reminiscing about aspects
of a video
game with great fondness is a hallmark
of an impactful form
of entertainment, I would often be so «in the zone» while playing that anything aside from what was taking place on the screen would become completely null and void in my mind to the point where I forget that I was playing a video
game, even though I did not live the events
of the
game, I can emphatise with them as if I had, that is the sort
of impact that the emotional depth
of the story, the characters, the music, the design and the overall world
of the series have had on me, what appeals the most to me is that FINAL FANTASY allows us the luxury
of divorcing ourselves
of our current
reality to assume that
of a world
of fantasy for a precious moment in time, which is a sentiment that makes me wish that our world as whole had a little more «FINAL FANTASY» within it so as to make us all want to wake up as soon as possible to enjoy another day
