Here? How much water does it take to maintain a gold course in the middle of the desert.... or is the fairway made of tiny cacti?

Can the NSA know about that or is it one of the advantage of the system? Anyway, that's a strange and deliciously vintage hobby (even if the tech evolved), it feels like a pre-internet global village; Chatroulette with a high barrier of entry and without the literal and figurative dicks.

I find it surprising that when a hacker group messes with online video game services, they are not immediately the target of other hackers group because they messed with their gaming! Unless no self respecting hacker admits to having a console or something...

Not being familiar at all with the HAM radio thing (the only thing I know- or think I know - is that you can reach very long distance when the waves bounce on the clouds or something), when you said you were able to 'work' it, I thought you were able to chat with someone there. But are they like...

That could scratch his hitch for a bit indeed!

So how is Alex?

Maybe that is not the case as I have not tried it, but the way people talk about this demo makes me think about a game by Cactus. I don't remember the name of the game, but people were arguing back and forth and people did not seem to agree on how to solve some problems, etc. A mad house. The...

Is there some form of syncopation in some tracks or is it isochronic all the time? bam - babam bam bam or bam bam bam bam? Because the latter sounds boring.

The qualifier that Raonic will play in the first round is Taro Daniel. It's a tall americano-japanese youngster, born in New-York and training in Spain. He played a Davis Cup match against Rosol earlier in the year where he managed to force a fifth set from two sets down! He lost the decider...

I still need to get one of these for the pretty cool Alien vs Predator game that was on it. That and Tempest 2000 are as far as I know they only two games worth playing on the system.

"We have thousands of satisfied talent partners and I want you to be one of them" seems like a silly thing to say to someone who was ignored!

Filming at 360? is one thing (a pretty trivial one too), but how do you record the difference between the two eyes for every position the user can take? That seems straight up impossible, which means you need to fake it with software (probably generating a 3D model of the scene - by picture...

It's that time of the year. It's US OPEN TIME! And the Nadal-less funky draw is now known. Let's do a 8 seeds run down. DJOKOVIC[1] won Wimbledon but has inexplicably played poorly in both Toronto and Cincinnati. But even when he plays poorly, it's probably still hard to beat him in a best of...

I defense of Ronda Rousey (who can obviously defend herself!), Gina Carano had Steven Soderbergh to direct her acting!

Endurance/strength is not built by playing, it built at the gym. Confidence in the injured limb is what you grow back by playing. The problem is that if you play while worrying about your injury, you tend to not be as fluid or to change you technique and posture to preserve the injury, which can...

Neo Geo games had more room for video elements (so bigger sprites or lots of detailed animations) and possibly more colors. The problem though is that it was all short arcade games with infinite credits and that most games were shit (exceptions being the Samurai Spirits/Showdown serie and the...

I was wondering who was that 'visionary film maker' Gabe Ib??ez and he only made one feature film in 2009 and work as an animator on 4... I am not saying he is not good or anything, just that the visionary did not share his vision much up until now.

All I remember about D?j? Vu is getting eaten multiple times by a crocodile in the sewers

How was that possible with TV screens using 60 half images per second? I don't remember horrible interlacing/edge blur on fast horizontal movements in NES and SNES games.

I don't fundamentally disagree, but I think he glances over an important fact: not all aspects of visual fidelity have the same impact and the same clock cycle cost. One can talk about poly count and mapping resolutions and anti-aliasing, but the lightening is what requires the more horse power...

He should hire an academy award nominee for best original scenario of a movie that won the Oscar for best film... That said the movie was not as fun than the second and there is an alarming density of people who can't act (the front runner in that category being Ford, Schwarzenegger and...

Sounds like another reason to watch the show for me!

Don't even joke with that. It would be a modern day version of Bloodball, so it could happen.

Just watched the first two episodes: we'll see how it goes, but I will certainly check the whole season. Could indeed be very very good.

Not all tomatoes are created equal, but a good tomato is great.

Was the weather ok when you were here, because we really had a terrible few months. It's usually not that grey/rainy/cold during the summer months. Pretty depressing stuff really EDIT: I should add that it's cool that you gave some closure to the thread. I wish all the people who start...

I predict a very strange US Open. It seems pretty open considering the number of players that are not at their best. It will be interesting to see if a surprise player can rise up to the occasion (Tsonga, Ferrer and Raonic are the likeliest candidates at this point) and go lift the trophy or if...

So apparently it's possible to play for hours on end:I Just Spent Two Weeks Being A Space Commander

It offers a pretty interesting take on the vampire myth and the cast is great, but he really has no interesting story to tell with that good setting. There is also something a bit smug about it all as it can all be understood as a metaphor about the enlightened artist (Jarmusch - forgetting a...

A bit of a roller coaster ride this one. Federer starts by serving well and playing some high quality offensive tennis, spreading the court and closing the net, or drawing Ferrer in with short slices. But Ferrer started well also and managed to play points on his terms behind his serve. From...

The Prestige, without a doubt. And Memento is for me a lot more entertaining than his batmen. Also, being a huge fan of Arizona Junior, The Hudsucker Proxy and Fargo, I clearly remember being disappointed by The Big Lebowski. That trend continued with O'Brother and The Man Who Wasn't There...

Not a suspenseful day. A jaded Benneteau against an amped up Ferrer resulted in a pretty one sided 6-3 6-2. A bit surprising when you consider their head to head. The Raonic vs Federer match also had the potential to be tense, but it was not. Federer activated the god mode and made a poorly...

These sex change surgeries are getting better by the minute:

The topic is no longer about how shitty the list is, but about how many games you played on it and how many you finished. Played: 55 Finished: 31 (much to my surprise, I thought it would be a lot less) I counted 'finished' for things like WoW, Counter Strike or Tetris if you basically...

We have the semis after two tights matches and two joke matches. FERRERunsurprisingly had to work very hard in a very tight battle against Robredo. Once again, the better ranked of the two spaniard showed his abbility to fight on every ball and keep his game plan from the first to the last...

"It's supposed to be lame because it's lame in comics and often lame in movies based on comic books" is the most absurd rebuttal since the Chewbacca defense. The problem is not only that he is a one dimensional "big bad", he has the charisma of an asparagus with one of the lamest costume ever...

Quarter finals, here we come! ROBREDOplayed well. So when he plays well, don't expect too many loose balls or poor shot selections. When the spaniard plays well you better play a clean match at the very least if you want to prevail. Djokovic obviously has more weapons than Robredo, but he did...

This movie was amusing, but it's not in the same league as The Avengers by a long shot. The totally one dimensional and uninteresting villain that does jack shit did not help.

This chart hides the fact about 20% of people are abducted by aliens.

So. Cinci round of 16 here we go: DJOKOVICon his quest for a full set of Master 1000. vs ROBREDOwho had two solid wins against in form wild card Sock and Querrey. YOUZHNYwho after making light work of a washed up Tsonga discarded Seppi. vs FERRERmanaged to prevail in an extremely close...
