Of all the famous or semi-famous people you can be a dick to on the internet, why would you chose Zelda Williams? That seems like misplaced douchebagery.

NB: By Denis Villeneuve, who also made Prisoners, based on a book by portuguese literature Nobel price recipient Jos? Saramago.

There are anxiolytics that are not on the banned substance list of the IOC (the go-to list for amateur sport leagues).

Will it be PS3 & PS4 or PS4 only? After all the Fox Engine can deploy on both consoles (see Metal Gear Solid).

No rest for the braves: Cinci already started! Djokovic is trying to win Cinci for the first time, which would allow him the pretty incredible feat of having won all nine Master 1000 on the ATP Tour! Technically, Nadal and Federer also won 8 different titles at this level, but they won...

I like Kojima's antics like the next guy and I am glad he is doing something that is not an MGS, but Silent Hill without Keiichiro Toyama nor Akira Yamaoka is a bit strange for me.

If you drop the thing from the basic SKU is not to try and sell it by itself, it's because it's mere existence hurts your sales, so the best course of action is indeed pretend it does not exist (which is pretty easy as it's not like there was some big Kinect game that everyone was eager to hear...

Not sure how it will play out and some of the animations looked a bit rough, but I am curious to see more of it. EDIT: It's like the celtic fantasy version of No Man's Sky!

I preferred Rime when it was called ICO, but again with The Last Guardian turning into vaporware, I'll take Rime. And what is QUBE? Antichamber 2? (EDIT: apparently QUBE is QUBE and was available on PC a year before Antichamber).

With Kaz Hirai joking on Twitter along the line "Tomb Raider wants to be uncharted... as in not in the charts", you would think it's a console exclusive.

Honey & Cloveris a romantic comedy / coming of age story set in an art school. Eden of the Eastis everything about everything, but at the center of it there are young adults trying to find their place in society. Maison Hikkokuis a rom com set in a boarding house with the main character...

Fictions about God, Destiny, Fate and things like that are always a bit silly, because what happens in them is the result of an outside force: the author. No matter what, in all fictions, a creator of some sort is there, an instance that pulls the strings is there.

He was not supposed to be the director initially (EDIT: Or maybe he was? Read further). It was supposed to be directed by K?ji Morimoto (director of the Magnetic Rose segment in Memories), a famous animator (Akira) who made waves in the '90s by being one of the first if not the first to blend 2D...

I noticed something strange about this 2014 season for Federer. He is back in good health and as such is able to move very well, which is a key for just about everything in tennis: scramble behind the base line to defend, dance around your backhand to play forehands, be early and well placed on...

That final was a bit underwhelming. Tsonga started serving very poorly (less than 30% of first serves), but Federer failed to make the frenchman pay for it, mostly because Tsonga played at a solid level and Federer was, on the day, not able to produce the high quality ground strokes that played...

That made me listen to some Kenji Kawai who also used these traditional choirs in anime music: When the soloist sings in that first track, it always wrecks me.

Truth be told, these semis were a tad disappointing after the number of hard fought three sets matches we saw this week. TSONGAplayed a solid match. Served well, hit some very aggressive second shots, was patient in the rallies to find the right ball to attack. Solid. Dimitrov on the other...

There is only room for one electronic dance track called 'Everyday' and it has been created almost 20 years ago.

The funny part is how small the visual upgrade seems to be from the GC version. Not that surprising with pre-rendered backgrounds, but still.

Topsy Turvy day in Toronto with all four quarters going the distance. And the semis are: TSONGAbagged an extremely tight first set in a breaker and, having broken first in the second, looked like his excellent serving would allow him a straight set victory. But it was Topsy Turvy day, so...

This bump makes me want to post:ANCIENT GREEK GEOMETRY For the geometry friends out there. I must say I did not remember at all how to build a pentagon, but other than that I managed to do a 40/40. After that there is a meta game to go as low as possible, but sadly it's not centralized or...

In 1999 people were playing Counter Strike, in which reload was critical and bunny hopping frowned upon. No regeneration, no cover mechanism, no class, no level... but free to play!

How bored do you have to be to do stuff like that?

I've been a bit greedy on the updates here! We are at the quarter final stage of a master 1000 in Toronto! Before checking the draw, it should be said that Nadal is not playing this week and will not play Cinci to nurse a right wrist injury. I guess he'll win the US Open then... (more seriously...

Space Dandy ending song.

Good job Buster! I prefer to not imagine the training though...

I am not familiar with audible. For my grandmother, it was CDs that were bought in book stores or borrowed from a library specialized in audiobooks. I suspect most public libraries have an audio book section too. EDIT: I should add that the specialized library was part of a paramedical public...

It's a little more complicated than that. I checked for Popeye who I know fell into the public domain except... it did not in the US:

The easiest thing is probably a CD player that reads mp3 files. That's what my grandmother used.

From the '90s there was a lesser known movie that I really enjoyed back then, but I don't remember it much, so maybe take it with a grain of salt:Venus Wars. Anyone saw that?

I notice this went unanswered: it's not about overturning the call, it's about making the ref' doubt he took the right decision in hope you will get a more lenient call the next time around or a harsher call for the opponents. Since they do it all the time on every call, it might not have much...

It was shown at a festival I went to a few weeks back, but skipped it as it will be released in theater sometime soon. Everyone I know who saw it (6 people?) liked it very much.

Apparently it's more about taking a break to figure out what to do next:Studio Ghibli Is Not Dead Yet As for Castle of Cagliostro, I think it's a mix between not being a Ghibli movie (it started with Castle in the Sky) and not having some of the most obvious miyazakiesque themes and aesthetic...

I don't think Stringer was not smart, I think what he was naive. For him it's all about beating the odds, leaving the ghetto and make a life for himself and he probably did not expect that once out of the ghetto he would still remain 'the guy from the ghetto' and that things are just as crooked...

I have a bad news for you: Miyazaki is 73 and Takahata who did Graves and the recent Kaguya is 78. The future at Ghibli are Miyazaki's son Gor? (Earthsea, Poppy Hill) and Hiromasa Yonebayashi who directed Arrietty and the recent Marnie. Both in their '40s.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya cost $50m to make and grossed $25m in Japan. It's pretty crazy when you consider that in Japan: Earthsea $64m Ponyo $164m Arrietty $110m Poppy Hill $56m The Wind Rises $120m When Marnie Was There, the latest Ghibli movie, also does not look like it will draw...

Does not really look like a remake, more like a reboot. Both the original and the '90s version were lame, so I don't see why this trend would change.

On the up side, there are professional athletes that recovered from a tibia-fibula double fracture. Soccer player Djibril Ciss? comes to mind (took him 'only' 6 months to recover). In a way it's a 'cleaner' problem than stuff with ankles, knees, shoulder or spine that are very complex systems.
