This is the prime reason I specifically told Mam and Dad not to get me games for Christmas. They would literally cost me any hope I have for the LC. Boards, FB and television are bad enough
I'm so easily distracted, it's not even right :pac: I had planned to get up early tomorrow, yet here I sit on the laptop at quarter past 2. A bit of self discipline wouldn't go amiss 0 -

This resonates within me.

I haven't fallen asleep before 5am throughout the holidays and I can't remember the last time I fell asleep before 3am but it was probably 6 or 7 months ago and this happens even when I'm getting up at 8am.I've heard that many people still stick with CM01/02 with fan updated squads. It has an almost cult following if I am not mistaken.
Yeah, has its own forum and a lot of members. It's a really fun game but it's far too easy to attract good players to small clubs and is fairly unrealistic compared to newer games.0 -

Woow, nice to know that there are some fm fans. On FM 2012 I've spent altogether about 5 to 6 hundred hours, most of it with Pescara, making them the best european team. Verratti, what a beast. It was my usual weekend routine, first Fifa tournament with friends, than FM for the rest of the night.
This year I didn't even buy it, I knew this would mean zero study on weekends.
My favourite was FM 08. It wasn't as easy as they are today. Btw. I have original CM 01/02
.
Happy new year people!

O yes. I love shopping after Christmas, altough my mother got the best deals this year. In the Nike outlet near Newry she got runners that were on like an 80% sale. Sic!0 -
I like how this has turned into a FM appreciation thread My favourite will always be FM07, so so good. Didn't buy it this year because I definitely wouldn't have studied at all but gonna buy it during the summer and then wait for FM2014 !
I think my best ever achievement was getting Rotherham to the Champions League Semi final.0 -

Glad to see 07 is someone elses favourite too! Great achievement, just reading about fm makes me want to play it :pac:0 -

I did it in August and I thought it was good enough. Glad I did it just to get into it but I don't think I'd do it now as I'd prefer to study. As well as that I don't live in Dublin so it was quite an effort and very tiring. But overall it was good.BrownBear11 wrote: »Lads, how'd the Institute go today? I'm not just asking out of nosiness by the way :pac: I was thinking of going up but then I decided to wait 'til Easter. Was it worthwhile?

Ya reckon independent study's more productive? Would the grinds there be completely over and beyond standard classes? Thing is, I have pretty good teachers for the majority of my subjects so I'm not too keen on the idea of having to spend 600 euro for it. Still, if it gives you a significant edge for the exams I would't hesitate in going. I'm gunna see how the mocks go. If i get the points I need then the idea's completely out the window

Leeson Street so far is really just alright, well, it certainly is not out of this world or whatever some people say as I certainly didn't come out feeling like I knew it all. However I'd say it is a lot more productive than doing your own study as you're going through a whole course within five days and it's done at a manageable rate. It's tough at this early stage to make a call on how good it is, it's the pretty basic ends of the courses we're doing at the minute.
However, the flippin' seats there are soooo uncomfortable! And I'm relatively tall so I find it really really cramped as well! By the end of a long hour and a half class you just want to get outta there! :pac:0 -
Well if I were to do it at Easter I know I wouldn't study after it because I would be so tired from getting up early and having to travel but that's just me. To be honest I don't know, I thought English was good but I would have loved a sample answer on even just one thing to see how an answer should be structured and to see an example of an A answer. But the notes were really good and we got notes on things that weren't covered. I did 2 other subjects. In maths, the things we did there that I had covered already were some of my stronger points. We did 2/3 topics I hadn't done so it probably would have been a lot more useful now. Then the other subject was good but I got a lot of notes that I haven't really gone through so I'm not sure yet. See how the mocks go an then decide I say. No point spending money if you don't need it.BrownBear11 wrote: »

I've heard the Leeson Street maths notes are something else but myeh, I'll live, everyone was talking about what courses they're going to do over the Christmas before the break (here in Galway it's all about Yeats) but yeah I think I'd prefer to study at home myself (for a much cheaper price...), though I might have a think about doing a maths one at Easter because it's the one subject that I just find really difficult to study on my own and I'd probably be better off at a course than at home. But yerra, I'll see after the mocks, can't deny that I have a very good teacher either so I might be grand.
This FM thing looks entrancing, I might have a look at it in the summer. I was never all that good at/interested in video games, mainly because my ten-year-old heart couldn't take the scary, pressurising bits but I might be OK for this one! 0 -

I should really be writing an English essay about procrastination right now, the irony.
I've never really been into video games unless you count The Sims but I usually give up on that after I've made a wonderfully weird family and built them a beautifully designed house.
My uncle gave us his old Xbox but I'm not sure if that was a great idea. I tried playing some racing car type game with my sister but we were just so bad it ended up a competition to see who could wreck their car the most bashing into walls and each other.0 -
