November 13, 2011 - Wil Taylor - 1 Comment

There is a new update for FIFA 12, and the paraphrase a famous saying by Albert Einstein, “Don’t download that mess, it’ll screw your system up until it can’t even see straight.”

EA, kings of screwing things up even after launch date, have outlined exactly what it will take to stop your system from crashing after downloading the update on all three systems, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

My name is Wil Taylor, an ex-rabid Nintendo fanboy until only a few years ago, a crazy man in a crazy hat showed me that games could be much more than Mario. I buckled up tight and gripped my respective controllers and decided that I was going to come up along-side the new wave of gaming and focus on the interactive mediums. Because seriously, how often does humanity discover an entirely new medium for art? Also, blowing up things is neat too. My favorite games are Bastion, Portal, BlazBlue, Street Fighter, Super Meat Boy and Saints Row.
