Video Games

Funny FIFA 21 clips are one of the few things that will get me across the god-forsaken finish line of 2020.

Every young FIFA player has dreamed of becoming a famous FIFA player via YouTube, Twitch, etc., but only the tiniest sliver of players actually make it big and become celebrities of the video game. I can’t guarantee you stardom, otherwise I would already be doing that. What I can offer is an easy three-step guide to get as many people as possible to view your funny FIFA 21 clips.

With all due respect to FIFA and PES, the most fun soccer video game is Rocket League. As fun as it is to play as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in more traditional soccer sims, playing soccer with a rocket-powered car is so much better. 

Last night I was fucking pissed. All I wanted to do was get one more win online and go to bed, but I was getting absolutely hammered by everyone I faced. The wine wasn’t helping, but damnit I wanted to keep playing until I won.

It was then that I realized, for the first time in years, this FIFA had me hooked, for better or worse.

FIFA 21 comes out quite soon: Oct. 6 if you pay for a more-expensive version and Oct. 9 if you pay for the regular-priced game. Just like the U.S. presidential election, you’ve got to be either completely clueless or haven’t been paying attention if you haven’t already decided whether or not you want to buy the game. The question then becomes: Should you wait to buy FIFA 21 when PS5 and Xbox Series X come out or buy FIFA 21 on launch day?

The answer, as it turns out, is surprisingly simple, thanks to a rare case of EA Sports, the game’s creator, being nice to its fan base.

On Tuesday the FIFA 21 soundtrack was revealed. Like the previous edition, there are separate tracklists for the regular mode and the Volta street mode, but we’ll be focusing on the 36 tracks that comprise the one that people actually play.

I’m happy to report that while I initially recognized some of the artists — LA Priest, Louis the Child and Tame Impala among them – I hadn’t yet heard a single track off this playlist, which amounts to roughly two hours of listening time.
