Well for the first time in the world most probably, A Team called "Gamers Aftermath", Founded by 3 First year Students that go to the Lebanese  American University who joined up 3 other students That share their ambitions, Built an Exact Replica of Half of The LAU campus map inside the game as a map that could be used in Death match Mod. Using the Valve Software Development Kit The team Replicated Part of the Campus exactly as it is in real life, in the game, and made a tournament on Campus in the computer lab. Over 50 attendees Signed up for the tournament to see for themselves if the map is as amazing as the team claims.

BlackBerry. . . . Its Over.


Before i begin, how many people reading this own, or by now used to own a Blackberry Smartphone as i do right now? Those of you who used to probably regret it by now and those of you who still use the infamous RIM device, you will regret it later i promise you. .

i myself bought the blackberry 9900 (bold 4) on the 12th of December 2011. at first i was in love with the phone and would use it 24/7 and take care of it as if its value knew no limits. but recently my Blackberry turned into a nightmare, just as the previous owners commenting on the internet said it would. first it was the freezing up, and i was tolerant with it. then it started to show deficiencies in connectivity and the sim card and performance and i overlooked that too because i loved my device. . . but when it starts to shutdown on its own and eventually not turn back on again until its plugged into the wall i just cant manage with that. it does that because right after you've charged it fully for hours it give low battery and shuts off your connections while it stays on (if it doesn't turn off) until the full battery is really gone!

How long has it been since the last OS 7 blackberry came out? well guess what!? the "supreme" Blackberry 10 is out now about 2 years after OS 7, and the surprise is all OS 7 phones are not allowed to update to OS 10 :D why?? so you can buy a new device for an approximation of 999$ (US Dollars). yes guys its true this new phone and OS make the old 1 look like some prehistoric shit, and they worked out the bugs (they claim) so that way eventually you will HAVE TO buy the new Blackberry Congrats we've all been cheated :D when the OS 7 came out the users were promised to be able to Upgrade but Its Up our's because sooner or later your OS 7 device is gonna malfunction somehow as they all do.
your options? either keep on going with this bullshit Just for BBM and the brand name Blackberry or change to another Brand with better quality, somebody who wont lie to us when it comes to using their devices.


So people take my word for this i have tried a countless amount of Blackberries and have always felt like iv'e been cheated (after all the good times i had with it)
its a good device and everything but the quality of it is just not good enough to keep for a long time. so when you're out shopping for a cell phone don't make the same mistakes a whole lot of people in the world made. (yes a WHOLE LOT google the BB problem forums)

Ballon D'or, Surprise Surprise. . . . .





Ballon D'or 2012

The Candidates :
- Leo Messi
- Andres Iniesta
- Cristiano Ronaldo

The Winner: Leo Messi. . . . .  again and again and again and again what a surprise . . . but why??

a few worthless facts about scoring and assisting the most but since when is it all about quantity where did the quality go? but that was no surprise to anyone, it was obvious that the demented joke that is FIFA was gonna chose Messi again. 
Ronaldo should have won because 
- Wins La Liga with points record ..
- Wins the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona ..
- Sends Portugal in the semi-finals ..
- Sends Real Madrid in the semifinals ..
- Best scorer of Euro 2012 ..
- first player to score in six consecutive clasicos
- scored against all teams that he faced ..
- Overcoming direct rival in two competitions; La Liga and Supercup

And finally his rival wins Ballon d'Or just because he scored more goals. One year ago Messi claimed that to win trophies is more important, while this year he changes everything and says its more important to score.
What a poser -.-
Okay so that was the Ballon D'or/ Complete Bullshit
Disgrace. . . makes me sick

and then you had the best Manager of 2012 and guess what? it wasn't a Champions League Winner or a Premier League winner or a Liga Winner, or a Scudetto Winner it was none other than Vincent Del Bosque for winning Euro 2012. the decision was fine as in OK but it wasn't the best, Whatever happened to Dimatteo, Mancicni, Morinhio and Fergueson and others or are they just a bunch of non-spanish panzees?

i let this one slide too



but that's not even half of what was wrong with last night when i saw the World best XI that's when i decided that FIFA is in love with Spain. .  this is what 2012's WORLD best XI (emphasize on "world"):
  • Casillas
  •  Alves
  •  Pique
  •  Ramos
  •  Marcelo
  •  Alonso
  •  Xavi
  •  Iniesta
  •  Messi
  •  Falcao
  •  Ronaldo

This is not World Best XI its more like Liga BBVA best XI, NO Man City players (The EPL winners: world's best league), NO Chelsea players (Champions of Europe) and NO Juventus players (Unbeaten champions of Italy.

in Conclusion FIFA CAN SUCK IT!!! if you put Liga Best XI they could never dream of beating Premier League Best XI or Serie A Best XI or BundesLiga XI

Chelsea Football Club.


Chelsea has sustained the fifth highest average all-time attendance in English football and regularly attract over 40,000 fans to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea holds the record for the highest ever points total for a league season (95), the fewest goals conceded during a league season (15), the highest number of Premier League victories in a season (29), the highest number of clean sheets overall in a Premier League season (25) (all set during the 2004–05 season), and the most consecutive clean sheets from the start of a league season (6).

Chelsea hold the record for the longest streak of unbeaten matches at home in the English top-flight, which lasted 86 matches from 20 March 2004 to 26 October 2008.

On 19 May 2007, Chelsea became the first team to win the FA Cup at the new Wembley Stadium, having also been the last to win it at the old Wembley.

On 26 December 1999, Chelsea became the first British side to field an entirely foreign starting line-up (no British or Irish players) in a Premier League match against Southampton.

Chelsea were the first English side to travel by airplane to a domestic away match, when they visited Newcastle United on 19 April 1957.

Chelsea mascot is a lion taken from their club logos and named Stamford The Lion. This lion costume was stolen by two men from Stamford Bridge in July 2005.

The Stamford Bridge was first built for Fulham, but for some reasons they refused to take the Bridge and was then presented to Chelsea, Rest is history.

The era of the 70s and 80s became the worse for Chelsea because they experienced financial difficulties because of plans to rebuild Stamford Bridge. As a result the star players were sold to raise funds and they were relegated to Division Two. Until finally Ken Bates bought Chelsea.

Didier Drogba hit his 100th Premier League goal - the first African player to score a century of goals. He also crossed 150 Premier League goals.

Frank Lampard scored Chelsea's 6000th goal against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge last season.

Chelsea were founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub (now The Butcher's Hook) At this stage they had a pensioners crest and were subsequently nicknamed "The Pensioners". This stuck until Ted Drake became manager and modernized the team.

Chelsea's biggest win on record was against Glossop in 1906 where they won 9-2. It was a Division Two match.



In the 1997-98 seasons Chelsea played one of the strangest matches in history. It was against Tromso and was 100 miles into the Arctic Circle. At one point the match had to be stopped so that snow could be cleared from the pitch!

Chelsea have been the subject of several films about Football. These include "The Great Game" which featured players from the team (1930) and which included several scenes that were filmed at Stamford Bridge itself. Other films they have been featured in include The Football Factory and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

Famous songs associated with the club include the comic song "On the day that Chelsea went and won the cup" (which describes a series of unlikely events on the day that Chelsea finally won a trophy), "Blue is the Color  (officially recognized as the clubs theme and that was number 5 in the UK chart in 1972) Blue Day (which was performed by the squad and Suggs from Madness in 1997) and We're Gonna Win (which Bryan Adams dedicated to the club as he was a Chelsea fan.) 

John Terry is the first defender ever in history of football who scored 50 goals.

Also we have the oldest stadium of all clubs in Europe. Stamford Bridge was built in 1877! Compare it to Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabeu, San Siro, Old Trafford. 

So be proud of our amazing club all you Blues out there, Never doubt the team, and  KTBFFH
