@ThanosReXXX I'm planning an activity for my elementary students. A famous person 3 hint quiz. I want to vary the names beyond my own interests because obvious different kids like different things. Thanks!

@ThanosReXXX That's actually not too out of my own character where the haunted house stuff is involved. Understandably, as a general rule we aren't allowed to directly reference movies or characters. Which means no Gollumexx.

@Heavyarms55 soccer players are terrible all over the world theses days, but I'd actually say the ones in Japan and korea are really good

@Ninfan Honestly you could show me the #1 ranked professional soccer player and the "worst" professional player currently in the league and I would be able to tell you about as much about both of the. I am reasonably sure both are homo-sapiens and reside somewhere on planet Earth. Beyond that, nothing.

Oh I know another one: they probably have nicely defined calves.

Anyway, I played Resident Evil 6 for a bit, the first two chapters of Chris' story. It's quite good on switch, although I haven't tried the online modes.

@Heavyarms55 well all soccer players in europe are rubbish at the moment. I wouldn't waste your time looking at them.

@Eel what are the controls in resi 6 you mentioned, what's different to other resi games

@Ninfan it’s third person over the shoulder, kinda like Resident Evil 4 and Revelations, but with a bigger emphasis on action and movement. It’s like, explosions here, explosions there, jump to the side, punch the zombie, shoot shoot shoot.

One thing I don’t like is that you need to equip the hand grenades and stuff like it’s a gun, and there’s no touch screen gestures for it, so it feels clunky and you end up wasting time trying to use those sub weapons.

@Zuljaras @Ninfan Goodness, that's harsh. Are they so bad? I'm about as much of an outsider looking in as it gets, so I know nothing about it.

@Zuljaras No fair play? How can they get away with that? Like, everything with a battery has a camera these days. Are the referees corrupt?

@Heavyarms55 They fall on the ground if just the wind blows and roar like their legs are cut off. They show it on the big screen in slow motion and they don't even care.

Come to think of it, it is actually pretty funny to watch if you don't count that those people are payed millions to act like that.

I always see the way soccer is played these days as very camp and theatrical to the point of humor. It sometimes seems less like a competitive sport and more like a game of pro wrestling. The players even sometimes look like Myotonic goats that fall over at the slightest loud noise to get a penalty

@Heavyarms55 Ah, I see. That sounds like fun. And you're welcome. But in that case, you might need some more names, in case you've got some kids in there who actually ARE soccer fans, so here you go:

Results of these lists may vary, because where some look at successes, others look at player stats:

And just in case you want to add worldwide players next time:

@Tyranexx Gollumexx? Seriously? Who'd want to be a hunchbacked miscreant like that?
Unless of course, you're really good at doing the voice, in which case it would be kind of a no-brainer...

@Ninfan What the hell are you talking about? There's dozens of brilliant soccer players in Europe. That many of them are being bought away by large international clubs should tell you more than enough. And the same goes for trainers: European trainers are hired worldwide, because they're often better at getting teams in order than their non-European counterparts.

Sure, there's theatrics involved, sometimes to my utter annoyance, but nowadays we've got the video ref to take care of most of that. At least over here. Can't speak for other countries, but unfair play doesn't get a pass anymore over here. As for the theatrics themselves: I see those FAR more often in Latin-American countries and in southern-European countries, which is probably because of all these nations being inherently more passionate and emotional than their more stoic/sober Western counterparts.

Just look at the Copa de America: that's sometimes almost like looking at a soap opera instead of like a sports match...

Speaking about sport, i have my own sport that built from my childhood. 😏
I think all of you including @bimmy-lee already knew my own sport.
Well...
This sport is basically Kickboxing for Anthro Birds. Only birds who can fly can participate in this sport.
I created my fictional world where human and Anthro animals live together like in Animal Crossing. There is a popular sport on my world. It is Kickboxing for Anthro Birds. At least 12 years old Anthro birds (they have lifespan as old as human) can participate in this sport with agreement from both their parents and school principal. This sport also supported by government by given an insurance for every Avian Kickboxers. The salary from Avian Kickboxer is really high considering the stadium for fighting arena used very high technology, somewhat like Blitzball high tech and it cot a lot of money for maintenance.

Avian Kickboxing also took a part in Extra curricular for Junior High School with coaches from Avian Kickboxer Legends. The hype for Avian Kickboxing sport in my world is much like the hype of Muay Thai on Thailand. And thus i created my fictional Avian Kickboxers such as Caleb (Dove), Russell (Crow), Arnold (Eagle, Avian Kickboxer Legend, Caleb & Russell coach) , Tsurugi (Red Crown Crane, Avian Kickboxer Legend, coach) & other Anthro birds that still in progress. 😅

@bimmy-lee I will try to finish my Avian Kickboxer Albatros as possible. He will have a big body and very long wing. 😏

@Ninfan which ones in Korea and Japan are good. I would truly want to know.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

@Anti-Matter it’s a good idea to get out once in a while for some fresh air.

Yup, time for some much needed violence.
