I am.
While on my dinner break at Uni today, i took a walk into Sheffield City center to go to Greggs, and look around some of the shops before i had to head back.
One shop being *enter a gaming shop name here*.
Now the shop i went into, had all the games on the shelves split into Genre (quite clever this i thought), so i went over to the sports section, where they had all the different sports, and there was also a young lad looking at the football games.
Now the poor fellow looked stuck, he had 3 games in his clutches, and kept looking at the back, and the front, then going onto the next game, and after a quick glance, i saw he was looking at Pro Evo, TIF and Fifa 2001. All for around £15 i think.
He eventually put 2 back after a minute or so...and kept hold of...Fifa 2001, and went off to pay.
And why am i evil? Because i let him, i let him buy the worse game out of the 3. Im evil because i let him buy that Fifa game.
And do i care? No.
He had a Sheff Utd Shirt on. :P

Heya Prev! You're evil eh? I guess that makes two of us. I have a similar story:
In Game the other day (I don't mind giving the name because I'm never buying anything there ever again [and in fact only have on one occasion anyway] - its because they say "lowest price guarentee". I asked them about that, and they gave a list of 'exceptions' including Special Reserve. They are far cheaper, but oh, they're mail order {apart from all the shops they have of course}, so erm, we can't match that. The list went on, and eventually, as I guessed, there were only a handful of shops left on the planet that actually managed higher prices (p.s. high WHSmiths!)).
Erm, where was I? Oh yeh, Game. I was in Game the other day, and somebody was looking at at platform games. In the one hand, Jak and Daxter, only £18.99 now its a Platinum game, and in the other hand Ty The Tazmanian Tiger, on sale for £19.99. Despite this person being over 15 by my reckoning, the outcome was as you can probably guess.

I played FIFA 2001 on the demo of which i got with my PS2.
It's the worst interpretation of Football i have ever experienced in my whole lifetime, and I spent an awful lot of time on Actua Soccer. Crap passing, poor shooting and stop/start gameplay? Utter Balls.
Though I didn't think much of TIF's attempts at silky gameplay, and saw it as a poor substitue for a decent footy game.
PES is class, however

I meant FIFA 2003.
Other Fifa's (minus SNES '96 and PS1 '98) were absolute balls, although i did spend a lot of time on the 2000 version, waiting for Christmas one year.

Fifa 98 and 96 are the best of the bunch. The later ones are diabolical.
96 had the best commentary in the world.
'It's a Goal!'
And teams couldn't be mixed race - it was either all white or all black.
Genius.
i used to play seasons at a tiume with my mate...

Two mums looking for Harry Potter. I wanted to slap them one.

Slap them? How about slap them in a white, sleeveless coat. Don't they know Harry Potter is a fictional character?
Niiiice twistng of words there.
