If you think playing retro games with a controller that has one of the worst D-Pad ever made "works great", it would be wise to stop talking about emulation.

He is a demiurgic figure, a god of sorts, so

This is indeed a pretty damn good movie. It kinda advertises itself as a semi-erotic movie, but it's not very erotic. A friend told me it was very funny, but it's not really a comedy. It's more of a very well written thriller... or maybe it's a movie rich enough to allow everyone to find in it...

Brought the thing to my gaming buddy who was an Amiga / PC gamer in the '90s and we played like three levels of Star Fox (the game did not age very gracefully, but it's still playable) and it unlocked Star Fox 2 when we got back to the main menu. So I am not sure what the requirement is, but...

Played a good chunk of Castlevania IV (reached the treasury), a bit of Super Ghouls n' Ghost (up to the level 2 boss) and a good chunk of F-Zero (died in Fire Field like in the good old days!). All three games worked perfectly. I had my TV on game mode and if there was any input lag I did not...

Well... apparently the store where I ordered it does not care about street date so I have mine! I'll be able to test it in a few hours.

Scalpers will have a hard time I think. I preodered one several weeks after the announcement at my big local general cultural goods store (books, films, games and tech items around them). I was like 65 on the list so I was a little worried (we are talking 140k people city in Switzerland), and...

Watched Michel 'The Artist & OSS 117' Hazanavicius' latest: Le redoutable (Redoubtable is the english title). It's a comedy based on an auto-biographical book by Anne Wiazemsky about one year of her life with famous French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard. A modicum of knowledge of european...

James Franco's impersonation of Wiseau sounds pretty on point. Nice to see the man himself in the credits. Hopefully playing the part of a crazy James Franco!

The european model is suposed to be exactly the same as the american model except you get the superior design (matter of taste) and the superior controllers (unarguable).

@spronk Saw it in a film festival. Imdb's only european release date is for the UK at the end of November. @gauze The movie. I am not familiar with the manga/anime. I think fans of the source material were dubious about the possibility of representing the powers of the characters in a live...

A bit frustrating, because you can feel that with all these thematic and stylistic elements, with this narrative device (the main character is the storyteller), with these characters and the initial situation even, a much better movie could have been made. Still, there are several good scenes...

Copypasta from the 'recently watched' thread: Oh and Jojo is garbage.

When there is like 2 minutes left in the round and one of the guys is no longer able to lift his arm, you stop the fight.

They should stop the fight. No need for someone to get injured.

Mayweather waits three round and then starts to fight and Connor looks foolish.

Where is that instant chat when you need it?

It's all about odds manipulation to maximize the returns on Mayweather bets.

Obviously you need a free hand to light the sword on fire.

Yes. Both Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian are in the Raid 1 & 2.

Exaggeration much? Jackson will only turn 69 in December!

I saw it in theater at the time of release. I remember being disappointed with the movie, but that might have had a lot to do with my expectations: Singer's previous film was The Usual Suspect and McKellen was known to me for his part in Loncraine's Richard III a few years prior. Let's just say...

As much as I would like for them to do a spin-off season with the merry band venturing north, the whole plan is ridiculously dumb. If they show a single undead to Cersei, she'll just go "That's some great blood magic you guys used to create that one undead, and somehow I am to believe there is a...

If standard training regimen and standard competition in a sport is shown to result in a significant likeliness of irreversible brain damage, I am not sure why there is even a debate: the standards of said sport must be changed.

Oh and by the way, if Nadal had reached the semi final, he would have become World N°1. That might happen naturally next week though as Murray will not play in Cinci... unless, if my guestimation is correct, Federer bags too many points this week and the next!

So... this week is the Canadian ATP1000. In even years it takes place in Toronto and in odd years in Montréal. This year is definitely a very odd year. Before the start of the even we already knew it was a bit strange: Djokovic is officially out of commission until the end of the season to treat...

On the PS4 UI the Store is linked in about 25 different places though. I guess it's a minor offense, but still...

@Intrinsic Nah it was not me. The film was shown in several festivals though: Rotterdam, Tribeca (New York), Fantasia (Montreal). I saw it in Neuchâtel myself (where, I just learned, he won the main award!).

You asked me about this movie a while back? I really don't remember. In fact I don't even remember hearing anything about this movie before I saw it last month.

Saw that in a movie festival. Without entering spoiler territory, I would say there is an odd choice here in that the character with the most interesting arch is not the main character. That choice allows a bunch of tension/paranoia but I did not find it very satisfying. Still worth a watch I...

The follow up question is.... how could one even play the game when every shot at the goal could severely injure the goalkeeper? It took crazy people to be goalkeepers and psychopaths to be field players?

After a quick look: it is indeed pre-creased and glued and just flattened, but the people that chose the Famicom format box can't put the manual inside of it, no matter if they picked the english or japanese manual.

"Make the box yourself" seems a bit of an overstatement if they just sent it flattened. A bit annoying if it's also unglued and not pre-folded (pre-creased? Not sure what the proper word is) though.

Accountants and investors care little about quality, they care about numbers. Lucy's budget was a very small number compared to Lucy's revenue, so it was easy for Besson to gather money for the much more expensive Valerian and, according to the man himself, to have almost all of this budget...

This has already been made into a (not very good) movie decades ago. A fact that underlines another: the book is a classic, but it's also an anticipation book written in 1953. As is often the case for such books, some parts are eerily prophetic, but I fear some others are extremely dated. I have...

Holy cast Batman! Also never read a Jo Nesbo novel, but he is a very popular nordic author of crime novels.

Probably the smart people thought it could not realistically go further toward McGregor so they placed their bet.

Promoters sure know how to do their job. I overheard a conversation about the fight today between two guys. Both followed neither boxing nor MMA and were talking about how McGregor is younger and has a longer reach and how Mayweather is old, was certainly very very good, but is probably not as...

While the draw opened up nicely for him, he still had to play three guys that beat him in Grand Slam, two of them in Wimbledon! But it's true that both the draw and the way the final unfolded made that 19th Grand Slam title a tad underwhelming compared to the AO win over Nadal earlier in the...
