It wasn’t until my Gamerscore hovered around the 20K mark that I realized I was a full blown Gamerscore Whore. When I first got my Xbox 360 I barely thought about it aside from an initial “Huh, that’s pretty cool.” A few years later and I now live for this meaningless little number next to my GamerTag.

I tried creating my Game Face when FIFA10 first launched last year, but after an hour of Firefox crashes I gave up. It seems like they’ve finally worked out most of the kinks since I was able to create this badass just in time to start my Real Madrid campaign. I’m pretty impressed by how well it turned out and I can’t wait to utilize it in this fall’s EA MMA.This is a pretty good start for now, but if EA doesn’t make me cover athlete by 2014 I’ll be hella-pissed.

I found a great NXE Wallpaper template and decided to whip up a few themes for my fave machine. They might not have all the bells and whistles of the XBL Marketplace themes, but you will save yourself four bucks a pop. Look for more in the near future, but for now enjoy this batch of themes featuring a few Toronto indie musicians, DC and Marvel heroes and Toronto FC. Credit goes to J3 for the awesome MSTRKRFT illustration and the TeamXbox.com forums for providing the template.
Noticed how I said ‘from around’ up there? It’s because I didn’t actually get into the game. Tickets were available for the game, but not at a price that was anywhere near reasonable. I have to hand it to the organizers of the All-Star game though, there were plenty of things going on around BMO Field for those interested in the beautiful game.
A beer garden in BMO’s East parking lot was the venue for UK artist Estelle’s performance of ‘American Boy’ at halftime. There was also a big screen to catch the game which was talking place just a few streamer tosses away.
The TFC Massive was it’s usual self, going strong for the total 90 and making the most noise for hometown boys Jim Brennan and Dwayne DeRosario. Amongst a sea of MLS stars, it was Cuauhtemoc Blanco and David Beckham that shone the brightest in the 3-2 MLS win over West Ham United.

Obviously the guys here at MLSE have done their homework. They’re diligent. They’ve invested money, they saw the under-20′s coming here and they knew there was a stadium being built and they were already on board. As soon as they got behind it, things became a realistic opportunity in terms of getting a stadium completed and contending for an MLS championship.
In terms of on-the-field success, what are your expectations for the first season of the Toronto FC?
I’m not going to be shouting crazy and stupid things about us winning a championship. What we’ll do is we’ll compete, we’ll do our homework in terms of scouting the good players here. We’ll work very hard. We have a roster of 18 with 10 development players. The 18 that are on the full roster will be paid, and the younger developmental group will obviously be sliced up from the league, which means these kids won’t make too much, but they’ll be making progress and hopefully they can get to the 18.
Soccer is easily one of my favourite loves, and I’ve been trying to catch as many footy matches as possible this year. I’ve already been to a few TFC fixtures down at BMO and I was also able to take in a CSL match up in Brampton [wasn't too bad, but there was a lot to improve on].
I’m going to try and upload images from each match after they take place, starting with these images from the Toronto FC v DC United match that took place on May 21st. All images after the break!
