Right now I just want to see the Pats get skunked for all 4 quarters.

#Worstgameever

Worked out for the #Eagles in the end but my god was that stupid and nearly let the #Packers force OT. #MNF #NFL #WorstGameEver

So I recently discovered that F.A.T.A.L exists.

Like someone was legit crazy enough to make the most complex and obscene Tabletop RPG possible. Not just extremely complex but extremely obscene as well.

Alan Sunderland nets a late #Arsenal winner in the 1979 #FACupFinal.

After 8 years, silverware had returned to Highbury; further successes anticipated.

But it didn't quite work out that way.

Egregious owners & a massive point deduction are dual portents for disaster.

#LutonTown were blighted by both during their calamitous 2008/09 #EFL #LeagueTwo campaign, culminating in #TheHatters #worstgameever.

www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/worst-g...

World War 3? Nah… But FNBob’s Coming for Sneakerheads - Nonsense Podcast S4E82 It’s another hot, ridiculous day in the Nonsense studio, and the topics are melting brains left and right. ☀️🫠 We kick things off with a Fun Fact with Kelly: Did you know E.T. for the Atari is considered the WORST game of all time? It was so bad it almost destroyed the video game industry altogether. 🎮💀 Naturally, FNBob and Henvincible spiral into their least favorite gaming tropes — from frustrating Quick Time Events to the endless flood of Souls-like games… sometimes suffering isn’t fun. Next, the crew debates: What’s worse — endless 100-degree days or days of nonstop rain? Henvincible’s basement has him firmly Team "No More Rain," while FNBob’s roasting both. Summer movie season’s here! 🎬 Henvincible checked out Final Destination, while FNBob and Kelly went on a spooky date night to see 28 Days Later. The reviews are in — and the takes are Nonsense. Of course, we can’t skip current events — FNBob explains why WW3 isn’t happening anytime soon (despite the headlines) and breaks down the U.S. drama with Israel and Iran. 📰🌍 Finally, FNBob has smoke for Sneakerheads, questioning why people buy shoes they never wear — and while he’s at it, he throws in a few shots at the tattoo and piercing crowd too. It’s all in good Nonsense fun (mostly). Highlights: 🎮 E.T. for Atari — the game that almost killed gaming 🕹️ Gaming tropes we hate: Quick Time Events & Souls-likes ☀️ Heatwave vs. Rain — which one's worse? 🎬 Summer movie reviews: Final Destination & 28 Days Later 🌍 WW3 talk: FNBob explains the headlines 👟 Sneakerheads, tattoos & piercings — FNBob’s roast session Question of the Day: Would you rather suffer through weeks of extreme heat or weeks of nonstop rain? Let us know! #NonsensePodcast #WorstGameEver #ETAtari #GamingTropes #SummerHeat #FinalDestination #28DaysLater #CurrentEvents #Sneakerheads #TattooDebate #HotTakes
