The Goalkeeper and the Void by Martz Azparren

Featuring the words of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, The Goalkeeper and the Void was a Jury winning film at the 2011 Machinima Expo, and primarily uses footage from the video game Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven).

A few weeks ago while watching the MLS Player Combine I was struck by a strange realization; what happens in the Seattle Sounders FO is a spectator sport and that for me it is one of my favorite aspects of the game.

The internet broadcasts for the Combine were sponsored by a video game called Football Manager 2012 by Sega.

Peyton Hillis has had a very interesting couple seasons with the Cleveland Browns. In 2010, Hillis took the league by storm and was one of the best running backs in the league. Heading into the 2011 campaign, big things were expected out of him. However, he struggled mightily on the field and clashed with teammates off the field.

Ricardo Quaresma is sort of the quintessential flashy footballer. The type of gent whose game translates better to YouTube and the video game of your choice rather than a pitch of appropriate measure. Turns out his lifestyle is equally as flashy. He was the victim of an armed robbery this morning, of things which were on his person.

As the ability to mimic Hollywood for its dramatic flair and theatrics goes, this surely has to be the goal of the year, right? The score level in stoppage time, Real Sociedad's Inigi Martinez swung one from his own half into the back of the net for the 3-2 winner. Which might've happened in a video game once, but surely not on an actual pitch.

3PM Extra: Real-life football video game, brilliant overhead goal and an even better own goal

Presenting quality football videos from the interweb, daily at 3pm. Here's today's collection: 1) Imagine getting two five-a-side teams and wiring them up with headphones linked to a smartphone so that someone can control what they do by sending them commands like "shoot", "pass" and "tackle" so the whole thing becomes like a real-life version of a computer game.

'What does that even mean?' I hear you ask. It means that Darren Bent and Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan were both handed a five-a-side team to control. Literally. The players were kitted out with some fancy headgear which instructed them to strike, tackle, cross, dribble, slide, pass as directed by Bent and Meighan from their [.

The only way is to the barbers for Joey Barton

QPR midfielder and cultured man about town Joey Barton has been ingratiating himself with stars of hit TV show The Only Way Is Essex while checking out the newly launched video game Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Barton was in attendance at the glitzy launch of the game, along with fellow Premier League footballers Kieran Gibbs, Daniel Sturridge and Anton Ferdinand, who spent his first night at a public event since his altercation with John Terry with none other than the Chelsea captain's te.

Do I not like those Ex-England manager Graham Taylor has this morning been unveiled as the face of a new shoe aimed at stopping football managers having embarrassing touchline falls. The Sho'ot was commissioned by the makers of the Football Manager video game amid concerns that too many gaffers were being caught out by slick [.

There are certain players who are perfectly suited to that flashy video game style, but not so much to the application of those technical skills on the professional pitch. Ricardo Quaresma is always the first name that comes to mind.

Then there are those who are effective footballers, but aren't so much your typical "video game" type player.

For the past seven days, I've played both FIFA 12 and PES 2012. It's been years since I've had an opportunity to play the games on a powerful video game console. For the past few years, I've played FIFA on ...

Irina Shayk and her likeness (above, which will appear in the upcoming video game Need for Speed: The Run) have been all sorts of bizzay with an abundance of projects lately, and now they both can add 'book muse' to their repertoires (sort of).

Shayk is not only the cover model of Raphael Mazzucco's newest project, she's also a main feature of the coffee table meme, "Culo by Mazzucco.

There's an advert on television at the minute for the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution which uses a memorable Darwin quote in its opening sequence.

If all the trailers and screenshots have you itching to get your hands on FIFA12, Tuesday will provide some temporary relief.

The FIFA12 demo is set to release on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 consoles on Tuesday, giving gamers a glimpse of the latest installment of the top selling soccer video game on the market two weeks before it is released.

The most important reason I'm excited about the upcoming launch of FIFA 12 is not the gameplay action or the impressive graphics. Instead it's the EA Sports Football Club, a novel idea that takes a video game and adds a ...

The Portland Timbers play the current 9th place Philadelphia Union on Saturday, a team only three points ahead of Portland. A win could put the Timbers above the playoff cut, while a loss would give the boys in green a deep hole to dig themselves out of. It's going to be a huge game for both sides.

EM Theories hipped me to the new Justice video and like them, I'm not sure how I feel about the track yet. It's oddly catchy but not the Ed Banger-banger you might expect. Honestly it comes across as the beefed-up soundtrack to a Nintendo-era video game that centers around a quest for a princess and multiple fights with "bosses".

EA Sports has released another new video trailer to promote the upcoming release of FIFA Street, the popular video game that combines flashy skills with urban settings. The above video trailer is pretty straightforward, showing young adults from...

This FIFA12 ad was made for European viewers, seeing as how the release date mentioned is Sept. 30 (the UK's release date of the game) and not Sept. 27 (North America's release date). But it is still one of the first TV ads released by EA Sports for its highly-anticipated video game, and with the demo scheduled to come out on Sept.

EA Sports, proud (for better or worse) creators of the gargantuanly successful FIFA gaming series, have been making friends with everybody lately. Running round making club-specific deals instead of focusing on improving the product how wonderful. But I digress. This new-found friendliness from EA continues today, with Chelsea announcing an official partnership with the conglomerate for the 2011-12 season.

Konami has released the official PC demo for the highly-anticipated Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 video game. The firm states that it will release the PS3 and Xbox 360 demos via the Playstation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live Marketplace in early September. However, gamers have reported that it is available on PSN Europe and Japan for [.

Every day, there is a reason to think Soccer is getting a bit closer to being called a 'Mainstream Sport' in the U.S. Indicators pop up in all corners of the country. It feels like a movement. Fans are displaying passion for Soccer and MLS in powerful, indescribable ways.

Quick recap:

If you watched the Houston game you watched this one, except for the fact that Portland had more fight in the Houston game. Sporting Kansas City score 3 and come away with a win 3-1

First Half:

I swear the Portland Timbers are clinically insane, since they keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are featured prominently in the new FIFA 12 trailer to promote the video game, which will be released in North America on September 27 and in Europe on September 30.

After watching the above video, you might be surprised by whether Los Blancos or Blaugrana score, so watch the above video to find out the answer.

FIFA is easily my favorite video game ever. I have spent more time playing the FIFA series than I have on any other game or game series. In my opinion, FIFA 11 has been the best FIFA in history. FIFA 12 will have a lot to live up to but I definitely like what I am seeing so far. The gameplay updates seem minor compared to past editions but I believe that is a good thing.

The video game, that is.

I'm not much of a gamer myself, but gosh, how could you not smile when watching a game of FIFA or the insane promotional material that comes around its release. Seriously, where else can you watch a kid from Ghana talk about playing around with Wayne Rooney, then watch Wayne Rooney talking about taking on Joleon Lescott after United beat City.
