Very strange match this all swiss final. As often with matches between friends, it felt like the match had difficulty finding its rhythm and intensity. Great shots were followed by lame errors, crazy rallies by boneheaded choices. At this strange game it was Wawrinka who was the most nervous and...

I would strongly recommend Braid (puzzle-platform meta-game) and Everyday Shooter (a brilliant omni-shooter where every stage is very different from the next and has its own logic for survival and scoring).

The odd thing with that new way is that it requires more operations and more writing than the old way AND it's not even a method that can be used mentally. I don't know about you but to mentally do 53-17, I do 53-7=46 46-10=36 The benefit of the new way maybe is that it brakes down a...

I would like to mentionA Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible. At the beginning it is very ugly and no so great meta-humor about making a webcomic. Rapidly the content becomes very imaginative, weirdly poetic and uniquely powerful. It takes a little bit longer for the art to catch...

High quality first set from both players in the Federer vs Djokovic semi. Federer especially impressed with his movement and his aggressive mind set. Still, it's Djokovic that had the first opportunities late in the set, but Federer stood firm, broke at 5-5 and closed the set. Federer kept his...

Ferrer had a very clear game plan against Nadal and he executed it to perfection. Sadly for him, the plan against Wawrinka today was nothing more than 'let's hope I outlast this guy'. Truth is there is not much of a winning game plan against Wawrinka when he plays well as he can be equally...

These get closer and closer to phishing for identity scam... EDIT: So let's use other people's info. I present to you: Sweet Squirter

If the holidays in north america are synonymous with turkey, around here they are synonymous with foie gras. I realize though that if I very often ate foie gras at home on toasted bread, I never ate foie gras at a restaurant as part of more elaborate recipe. Also never cooked with foie gras at...

I was about to say that in a war you have to pick a side, but than I remembered where I am posting from...

It was also a struggle for Djokovic today after blitzing through his first two matches. The opponent of the day, Garcia-Lopez just won in Casablanca last week-end and downed Berdych on the way to the quarter final. The spaniard played some very consistent baseline tennis with some good...

Federer played a brilliant match against Stepanek, followed for a brilliant match against Rosol (though the underdog had a brilliant super aggressive start and lead early by a break) so it was a bit of a surprise to see a pretty tame Federer today against a surprisingly in form Tsonga...

Monte Carlo's Master 1000 this week: Ferrer is currently leading Nadal by a set and break! A lot of breaks in the first set that lasted an hour an a half and got concluded by a surprisingly one sided tie-break. Ferrer is being very sound tactically and only allows Nadal defensive forehands...

The 'writing as we go' process also leaves some loose ends. Things like Gus' Chilean past or the Germans. There is a whole scene in the German headquarters with a guy killing himself or something and that lead precisely nowhere.

It's difficult to know exactly how full the glass is from Microsoft's perspective. On one hand the XB1 is selling faster than the very successful X360, on the other, their market share against their direct competitor is shaping up to be dramatically worst than during the previous generation.

Titanfall came out on the 11th and InFamous on the 21st so it's obvious a March comparison will favor the former. That said, sales of most titles being very top heavy, it's pretty clear that Titanfall on XB1 will outsell InFamous. Note though that the supposedly 'content starved' PS4 owners...

This fight is arguably the worst of the game because it takes place in a cramped place, you are forced to take on multiple enemies and it can go to shit in the first 3 seconds, killing you before you can learn anything to make the next attempt more successful. Advice: run/roll/run past the demon...

Shipped, not sold.

Any plan to kill a king that relies on a teenage girl wearing the right necklace seems pretty risky to me. And it's not like her handmaiden was privy to the plot.

Whaaaaaat? Admittedly I saw it just the once and at the time of its release, so 16 years ago, but I remember it being pretty good. Or was the only good thing in it the tracking shot at the beginning?

The blood stain is also placed a little before the place you died usually. So if you fall to your death it will be at the top of the cliff, not at its foot. Very rarely, that mechanism proves a little misleading and surprises you with the spot it chose for the stain (once or twice in my...

A rather safe assumption is that we will see that woman again because I doubt you hire Neve Campbell for a single scene!

John Carter adventures span several books, so producers could say: 'The first movie did not work that well, but reviews are not so bad and we established some visibility for the brand. Also, things will be smoother and cheaper for the next movie as a lot of designs, props, costumes, 3D assets...

A word of warning: Kotaku is currently running a story about the latest episode that is supposed to be "spoiler free" but it links clues together in a way only someone who read the book could, making it basically a spoiler for the mystery that is the murder. I got spoiled

Apples and oranges, but Microsoft lost a lot more with the first Xbox and made two others! Anyway, the problem with John Carter is that it aged very poorly. Reading the books today could be interesting as you can mentally put them back in the context of their time (first volume was written in...

I suspect the TV writing storyline could be good, but I am worried about the son storyline because they made him a kind of Hank in reverse: an insecure charmless dim-witted guy. Not exactly an entertaining character. That storyline will bring Heather Graham though, so that can certainly help.

Well... Joffrey pointed at him and last thing Joffrey did was drink from the cup Tyrion gave him. Obviously, Tyrion could hardly foresee that he would become cup bearer so he is not much of a suspect. That said, when I first saw the scene, it felt that Tyrion brought a cup that was not...

Last season, Melisandre draw some blood with leeches from King Baratheon's illegitimate son and cursed some people (though Rob was in the lot and he certainly was not poisoned)... there is also that. And the jester pulling Sansa away adds him to the list of suspects. Something that worked...

I don't care about sports games and I don't care about baseball, but I must admit that there is something fascinating about The Show's attention to details and its willingness to go beyond the sheer mechanisms of the sport and recreate the baseball experience. Or more exactly the baseball...

I liked the first part when he is seemingly in control of his schemes, but when he goes into his downward spiral, I feel the movie drowns as he does. Still better than Trance, but it's not saying much since that movie was hit by both the ugly and retard sticks.

That looks like something that will end with everybody suing everybody aka the America's Cup way...

'Who wants to go to Cleveland?' is a silly argument, because 'Who wants to go to Oklahoma City?'

With this movie, the connection is really only made with the rest of the Marvel movieverse by those in the know who can connect a post credit scene in a movie with a brief presence in a trailer. People will see this movie, because the trailer was shown before the other Marvel movies and the...

The Madrid of the Atletico variety has a problem: their very good keeper, Courtois, is owned by Chelsea. I am not too sure of the legal mumbo jumbo behind it, but the end result is that fielding Courtois against Chelsea would cost the Atletico millions. That's a lot of money for a guy in two...

Some of the things that make the show good now are the result of exposition in the earlier episodes (mainly character identities, backgrounds and relations). I would watch it all or at least read some good plot summaries for the episodes.

Pure speculation: maybe it was the small council that had to decide on Jaime's fate after he broke his oath and killed the king and they might have been in the know about the whole situation. Did we see any member of the small council nagging Jaime about him being the king slayer? EDIT: I...

It's a strategy: they lose a lot of matches at the end of the regular season to be super hungry for victories once the play-offs start. Yep.
