There is enough talent on the pitch for it to be possible, but I doubt it.

Just one match got played in group F so it's a bit early to say, but if it gets likely that Germany ends up N°2 in its group (as, with this win, Mexico could very well ends up first), that might have some impact on group E. I am not sure Brazil would be super happy to win in its group for the...

Seeing how Germany was absolutely unable to deal with the speed of the mexican team, they might also have a tough time against South Korea (as, usually, they play at break neck speed).

Honestly, France is extremely lucky to have won today and extremely lucky to be in such a 'weak' group. They might very well go through even if they play another two matches as poor as this one and, possibly maybe, that will give them enough time to find how they are supposed to play. Because...

With Iran winning and Spain vs Portugal ending in a draw, there is potential for some serious drama/comedy in that group. Slim potential, but still potential.

@Biggby I think you missed a negative in the thread's title. To contribute: french romanticism masterpiece (also: a short read!) Sylvie by Nerval.

I suspect handheld consoles are over. The main market was kids and now kids have smartphones. Microsoft never touched this market and will not start now, Nintendo released several revisions of the 3DS, but the latest models (New 3DS standard and XL) have been discontinued almost a year ago...

There is a bit of revisionist history going on in that video about Bulgaria beating Germany. Bulgaria was a no joke team at the time. They had an offensive line with Emil Kostadinov (very successful at Porto) and Hristo Stoichkov (runner up for FIFA player of the year in 1992 and a pillar of the...

It should be mentioned that for decades and until not so long ago, Spain was a shitty team of great players. The Barca players could not be arsed to pass the ball to Real players who themselves would rather die on the spot than deliver a cross to an Atletico player... fun times. And even in this...

I saw Etat de siège (State of Siege) the other day. A french political thriller made in 1972 by Costa-Gavras. Apparently this film was for the longest time pretty difficult to see in the US (now available at least in the Criterion collection), possibly because it is not so loosely based on the...

South Korea got pretty unlucky in the draw and Japan was not a lot luckier... that being said, I would be surprised if Serbia or Costa Rica go out of the group instead of Switzerland.

Also, no Super Mario Maker 2.

PS4 can crossplay with PC. I see it all the time. The PS4 player needs to be invited with a PC playing friend or something though.

A drastic change from what? It's a new IP. These guys don't have to do Souls like game for all eternity.

Saying it does not make it true though. She could be lying or she simply could be wrong.

I did not catch the stream from the Sony conference, but just watched a video from the POV of a attendee. While the logistic of it was a bit strange, there was a pretty neat idea: the first venue was a replica of the room the Last of Us 2 dance scene took place and the path from the first to the...

@Kharzette it's not made in Japan.

Still waiting for another DontNod game written by Damasio... could it be this one?

@Croetec I guess you can get used to it by playing Blood Will Tell. It's a PS2 game about a samurai with prosthetic everything...

What we knew would happen at the start of the season happened. Congratulations to the Rockets for almost having it go off the script.

I always felt there is something very mysterious with these NBA series. It's crazy how games played two or three days apart can have totally different players be super hot or super cold, stars that suddenly can't make a bucket, bench warmers that suddenly can't put a foot wrong... It feels like...

Bought 5 and 6 recently. I am 13 hours into 5, but, as my philosophy in these games is "do everything you can before advancing the main story line", I am at Part 1, Chapter 2!

You can consistently finish Top 10 playing the sneaking game. It is almost impossible to win that way though. More importantly, it does not allow you to learn the skills needed to actually win.

My body is ready, but I have to check if that is also the case of the battery in my cartridge!

Smith is to blame, but I would also blame the coach to some degree. It's his job to make sure the players have a clear idea of what to do when the clock starts running again (Kerr did so for the Warriors).

Epic brain fart to get overtime :P

Easy vote for me this time as there are only 3 of these games that I own and have not beat. I thought I had Cadash on PC-Engine somewhere, but it seems I do not have it :(

It's only natural that the week I finally borrow a non crap PS3 to buy and play Yakuza 4 is the week they announce the remaster...

Maybe my memory is lying to me, but I seem to remember Cadash as a game that is hard as first, but, as the character gets more powerful, rapidly becomes trivial. So it's all about getting past the initial hump and then you are on a roll.

From a layman's perspective, it feels the main problem the Rocket had is a lack of bench, forcing a 7 men and then 6 men rotation once Paul was injured.

Now that there are some custom games available, I have seen some competitive squad games. I am not sure if it was a consequence of having only good teams and/or starting with only 48 people (it was a kind of qualification event), but it felt like a totally different game. It was extremely...

There is no doubt Ramos grabs Salah's arm and makes him fall, but Salah falling awkwardly and injuring his shoulder (the left one btw, so not the side Ramos grabbed) is a freak accident. The foul is very real, but it's not a mean or even a dangerous one, it's just doubly unfortunate that Ramos...

The keeper on the bench must not be happy...

Traditionaly, it's english keepers who do things like that. On the up side, it jump started the match!

Boston was not in a winning position last night in the 4th quarter, but certainly in a winnable position (7 points down with 8 minutes remaining or something? And then again at 4 min remaining). The thing is that just when they needed stops the most, they could not even find one! The two long...

Against by better judgement: Zelda II...

A bit cruel for Green to be the guy to fumble after putting his team in contention with a couple great plays.

This is the most bizarre match of "basketball." Houston is at what? 876 3 points attempts in one half?

In a game with so few spoken words, It's probably fairer to assume it's an artistic decision made to enhance the sense of mystery and wonder of the game world, in the continuation of what was done in ICO (and later was also done in The Last Guardian).

Let me know how the 2nd half of that Rockets vs Warriors game go, because that first half was intriguing.
