Randomness - vol. IV

Quick search revealed the following info:

FC Futura, of which Vinicius Frasson is a part, plays in the Second Division, i.e. tier 3 in Finland. Here's their website, though I don't speak Finnish.

[Ethric]

Wow, tier 3 Finnish football, will the excitement never end!

Ahh...tier? Now I got a bit confused there. In Brazil we have divisions and that's that. What's a tier 3 in a 2º Division mean?

[Ethric]

I think it' the same thing, but the top tier has a fancy name (Haakkapukkaleeroy or something I guess), and the second best is the first division. Or somesuch.

[Panda Tar]

Ah, right. Like it's division numbered like 0, 1, 2, meaning tier 1, 2, 3? Thank God there's not that odd name here. We might get a heart attack while trying to spell that.

[Kalah]

Tier means level. I thought you played Heroes.

It just means that the levels are as follows:
Premier League
First Division
Second Division
Third Division
Etc. ...

More info here.

Playing in the Second division basically means that you're more talented than your average Sunday footballer. Most people who play there are not pros - but sort of semi-pros with jobs on the side. Some are has-beens, some are could-have-beens. If you are really talented, the Second division is usually the stepping stone towards pro football; indeed, many Premier League teams have second/reserve teams who play in there ... and they use it as a way to give their youngsters experience.

[Panda Tar]

Hum, it settles my questions on that subject then.

Here, we have the Main Championship that has Divisions, but there's no such Premier-Shinning-Star Division. It's the Division A, B, C, D...but given that there's a plethora of small-like cups in the country, every team ends up mingled here and there with the other.

Football unites (and makes people rich no doubt).

A is, of course, the most important one, where those who win get qualified to the Libertadores da América Cup. If you win that one, you'll get on the way for the global cup of teams, which I already forgot the name.

Oh, this boy only makes me proud!

I had got caught, in the No Demand article for PC Games

Kinda black humour, being it here last ten years or more.. ..rumour about PC Gaming dying.

I was looking at some cosplay pics and found some rather amusing. I wonder if some of you guys actually like a bit of cosplay? I mean, when it's fairly done, of course.

Look at this one, for instance. It's Le Blanc, a character from Final Fantasy X-II. Her tits - er, I mean... her clothing is nice!

[Kalah]

Nice outfit. (and I actually think the globes look better on the drawing)

[Pol]

Such a nice pic was immediately saved.

[Kalah]

I wonder what Lety would think of it.

[Panda Tar]

Aye, that's what I was thinkin'.

I like when they are fairly done, instead of fails like these:







This Sora Cosplay is what I call real resemblance:

[Kalah]

LOL

The house just shook something terrible. Stuck me head out wondering WTF, thinking the old lady upstairs blew something up. Then she calls me wondering WTF. I went out into the street and shared similar sentiments with the neighbours, who thought the bang was coming from further up (I live down by the sea). I call a colleague who live further up, he heard it too, but don't see anything. So we'll wait and see... *hides* I'd be expecting sirenes any time now.

[Panda Tar]

Couldn't it be an airplane breaking the barrier of sound?

[Kalah]

Or some dude who blew up his still.

[Ethric]

Another one! Local paper says it was heard both sides of the fjord, and the police are looking into it....


Dive, dive, dive...

[Panda Tar]

Or some dude who blew up his still.

Something tells me that this count reached zero...it could explain the blast, no?

@Ethric

Eh, now seriously, keep yourself safe.

[Kalah]

Weird ... there's nothing to blow up in that region ...
