The silliest things that I have done is in the FIFA series, specifically the career mode element as I have only completed a game save, maybe once or two. My problem was I picked a team that was already really good, or one that I was not interested in so the game became very boring, very quickly. That meant that I would just start a new one and never actually have enough seasons completed to do something that worthy as a manager. Maybe now as I am older I would try things differently, but sadly I have not bought FIFA in several years now.

I wouldn't any game that I've played has taught me anything about current events but it certainly has improved my knowledge in certain areas. For example woodcutting in Runescape taught me about nature and introduced me to different trees, which I continued to research and at the time I was fascinated by how many of them were actually real. I think the reason why I have not used games to understand current events is because I prefer to use games as an outlet to escape from the 'real world' and enjoy having fun without necessarily learning anything of value.

I would use the MMORPG game Runescape to describe myself as there is a large world out there to explore with a vast range of people to meet and skills to master. It also shows that even in death, the game does not end, which I like to use as an analogy for 'the game of life', as motivation to respawn and keep exploring when things don't go right the first time.

How do you react when a game crashes or lags? What is the worst possible time it has happened to you? I don't get it too often with the types of games I play now but when I played Runescape things got very laggy. It was difficult in the wilderness because if my screen froze I did not stand a chance at surviving. In fact this happened so regularly I just started to avoid combat based activity as I did not want to lose the items and GP I had been earning. It made me very frustrated so I just switched it up and did something else, like practice my skilling.

This is a football management simulation game that is developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega but the game itself began in 1992 as Championship Manager. It has been around the block for a while now but I haven't tried it until around a month ago, when it was free for over a week on Steam. It was an enjoyable game that is perfect for the worldwide lock-down right now, as it is so time consuming yet enjoyable. I enjoyed the free trial but I did not feel like buying the full game at the time but I instantly regretted it, as it was such a good deal. Now Steam appear to have it for 33% off until 14th May. Have you played FM20? What team are you managing and what are your best accomplishments?

The ePremier League Invitational is a virtual tournament played using the game Fifa 20, with each club being represented by one player or celebrity fan. The original tournament was won by Wolverhampton Wanderers Diogo Jota, who beat Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in the final. This was quite painful to see for me as Wolves are rivals to my team Aston Villa. Sadly we lost in the very first game of the knockout competition as McGinn fell 6-1 to Maupay's Brighton. I am excited for round two of this competition though and I hope that they iron out all the streaming problems they had previously. The second version of the competition starts tomorrow and runs for five days, so it is short but sweet. It will provide football fans who don't normally watch e-Sports an outlet for their sporting interest and passion! https://www.premierleague.com/epl-invitational
