I think I'll go for Australia even if they have nasty bugs and ridiculously censored video games. I think it fits by Prosperity-Security-Weather trinity and it's a more laid back country than Japan.

As a neutral, I would be very surprised if that english team does not beat Uruguay and Costa Rica. It's not like england ate a 5-1 playing like shit, it could very well have been a draw (notably that miraculous deflection by the italian defender in the first half that managed to both prevent a...

At first it sounded like we would have the first 0-0 of the world cup, but Sterling, Sturidge and Welbeck have hot feet and the italians play like they are sleeping only to surprise with sudden and often well constructed accelerations. Fun match and I suspect we will see more goals. PS: that...

The last 5 minutes of that Costa Rica vs Uruguay match should be showed to the Atletico Madrid players!

It's not like boxing with weight categories: a light and short player cannot win a shoulder to shoulder contest with a tall and heavy player, so they let themselves fly and often they get a call in their favor, that's plenty of incentive right there. They make the best of a bad match-up. When...

2-2 would have been more in line with what happened during the match than 3-1, but this is what it is. As for the chilean players falling, they must be on average 25kg lighter than the australian players (apparently this is also the team with the lowest average height in the competition) so...

Fun fact: Cahill with 33 goals scored more for the national team than the other 22 australian players combined (28).

Chile thought it was a sprint and Australia thought it was a marathon. We'll see who is right.

My guess is that the reaction is the same all around the world: disbelief. It comes in many flavors though.

You got to feel for Sneijder, when he get to take part in the feast he stumbles! Anyway, that was pretty great and Blind must have the least fitting name ever.

The penalty was very very generous considering the attacker went out of his way to touch the defender, but it's less awful than Fred's flop.

A youTube video lead to another youTube video and here is a good one from February about where the Spurs stood then, with the doubts and difficulties. Interesting to watch 4 months later as they are on the verge of being the champions.

Only in the northern parts of Norway I believe. (also Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, Alaska).

Except Ray Allen who is getting better and better!

There is something creepy to make a movie about killing an actual person and something irresponsible about making it the leader of country with which diplomatic relations are difficult to say the least. There is a tradition in american comedy to ridicule foreign enemy leaders though, as amply...

It should have been over already too. The only reason this is not a sweep is because the Spurs botched the last couple minutes of game 2.

Spoelstra better come up with some Pulitzer worthy pep-talk to get anything out of this game.

Splitter always look like someone has a finger up his ass, but he is pretty versatile.

Almost! I just watched the match and that was entertaining. I talked at length in previous posts about the anti-Nadal game plan, but it requires a skill set that Brown simply does not possess. So Brown and his coach came up with an anti-Nadal plan that works with his own abilities. On serve...

Dustin Brown, the 80ish in the world jamaican turned german player, grass lover, serve and volley adept who keeps standing up during change of ends to keep his energy level high, well... he just beat Nadal in straight sets in Halle. When I first heard that I thought:'the guy has a great serve...

Those screaming that the match is fixed after the penalty should remember that like 3 minutes prior there was a tackle on Neymar that was a very very dark shade of yellow.

My guess would be someone very wealthy, possibly directly related to the video game industry, with an interest in the preservation of the medium. A Gabe Nevell for instance.

Reserve is met at 700k.

21 lead cut to 11 in a quarter. Let's see if the Spurs can react.

I would feel better about this lead if it was not caused by exceptional shooting. If the Spurs go back to regular accuracy, the Heat could be back in the game pretty fast.

The Order 1886 should obviously also scratch that itch.

Playing the contrarian for a second here: In what way is Skyrim Zelda more 'open world' than Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker? More nothing between two somethings?

Where in you fantasy narrative do you put her Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone?

Enjoying French losses is a national sport is Switzerland, but your reason to hate on the french team is powerfully retarded and has little to do with reality. Out of the 23 players that will play the World Cup, 2 are not born in France: Evra, born in Senegal and Mavuba who is... born at sea...

Twitch croaked after BatmanWas that it?

TV stuff? Toilet break!

Ooooh the insane game from that guys that got flooded!

Abz?... silly name, but intriguing.

The Talos Principle? Mmmmh...

That Dead Island 2 trailer was hilarious. Who knows if the game will be any good though?

Resident Evil homage in that Order footage!

This lapsus brings a smile to my face. It's like deep down you believe the movie is filmed live and direct for the audience.

The very careful wording about Inside on XB1 ('INSIDE will debut on Xbox early 2015') gives me good hope for a multiplat release down the road.

Scratching my head to remember storylines/characters that I might have missed: - The bastard Gentry spent a whole season rowing to King's Landing (or sinking and drowning in the process). - Osha spent a whole season bringing Rickon Stark to safety to a Stark banner-man's fort.

I was unsure and checked the serie's wiki to remember how things happened: the Onion knight made a big speech about how Stannis was the one guy with a future as king that would allow him to pay Westeros' debts and the bankers agreed. That was followed by a scene in a bath house where the Onion...
