I read THIS and still got jumpscared

Wasn't going to click the link, then I read this and finally decided to click but leaned back away from the the screen just to be safe.

I didn't get jumpscared because I was preparing myself for something worse, but yeah, I can see why that would cause someone to do so (for those of you who aren't clicking, half the screen is a closeup of one of the animatronics).

And if Tottenham doesn't win, Villa clinches the final Champions League spot

Also Arsenal doesn't clinch on a win if this draws, they just currently have 3 GD advantage

So they just probably do.

Also if Tottenham lose and Newcastle and Chelsea win their matches tomorrow, there's a chance Tottenham might blow Europa League qualifying too (and europe outright if United win the FA Cup). Would be peak Spurs.

City/Tottenham is happening now. If City don't win, Arsenal can win the trophy on Sunday.

Arsenal only winning by one this late against this United side is surprising. They really should have put this one to bed, now.

There's no way Forest are conceding that many goals in their last two fixtures to go down unless Chelsea stomp them 9-0 or something this evening. Think it's safe to say Luton are going down with Sheffield and Burnley.

I don't think there's a future for AAA gaming.

There is, but companies are going to have to smarter as to how they approach the development of such games. More than likely, we'll just see fewer as time goes on and/or companies opt for graphic/spec changes in development to reduce costs.

Personally, the "make games look as realistic as possible" graphics almost never hooked me and I'd rather just watch a movie/TV series version of what they're doing if they are just going to follow that narrative.

EDIT: Oh, and maybe seeing these games always fall in price over the course of 1-3 years plays a part, too. Why bother picking something up for $60+ when you can finally pick it up a play the game when it's reduced to $30 or less.

We should never have another trial-less case in an Ace Attorney game ever again.

Good. Hated the trunkless suit.

United are in far worse shape than they were against Liverpool right now. They need at least 3 or 4 players back and to not lose anymore for Arsenal.

I suspect we won't see more than 2 and this squad has already shown multiple times in the past once there's nothing to play for in the league anymore, majority of them stop trying or suddenly aren't available for the last few games.

I could easily see Arsenal winning 6-0 or something.

No, this can be easily explained.

They have no LBs to play since February, they have only one CB in Evans who was rushed back, Casemiro is forced to play CB instead of DM due to a lack of anyone better, the GK is more easily exposed because of a much worse defense, and the team's best player and captain (Bruno) is out and replaced with someone who has barely played all season. We're also forced to play Eriksen who is no longer good enough to play the whole 90 for a club the size of United. Oh, and there is pretty much no one to substitute in other than youngsters or failed loanees.

Just wait until they play Arsenal and Newcastle in the next matchweek.

I have no clue why people are even considering this the worst case in the series. 4-4 and AJ as a whole (as well as AAI1 to a lesser extent) did actual damage to the series, and we've had cases with far worse casts in 2-3 and E1-3. Not to mention crap like 2-1. Is 6-6 a good case? Not really, and it definitely has some flaws that have already been pointed out by a few, but this isn't even the worst case in the game (6-4). I'd take this over a third of the cases in the series.

Aston Villa likely making Champions League while Birmingham City (their rivals) are officially relegated to League 1. Truly a great season for Aston Villa fans.

For anyone that wants an update, progress has been going much slower than I expected, but I'm hopefully things pick up this week.

Think Apollo, Athena, Blackquill and Fulbright carry this case hard. Damian and L'Belle are serviceable defendants and culprits respectively.

I thought for a first case it was alright, especially as a case to get the series back on track after the two awful games prior (not counting AAI2).

So only Aston Villa remains in Europe after the quarter finals and even they needed penalties to advance.

Is it possible that there was a poll queued up but then got taken down ahead of time because it was seen as "too politcal" and they never replaced it?
