    I had a buddy in high school who could do that with his hands on the ground, but again he was a gymnast who was about as wide as he was tall.

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    To my knowledge the movie was not released in theaters in Switzerland. As a big fan of Gore Verbinski I should check it sooner rather than later!

    Anything worth buying a PS4 over?

    Joke put aside, it's very unlikely the PS4 will see its price drop in the near future, so unless you factor in inflation and banking interests, buying it now or buying it later does not make a difference.

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    I am still not sure if this movie is brilliantly awful or awfully brilliant but there is nothing quite like it! Cage's character hurt his back at the beginning of the movie and he takes an increasing amount of drugs and alcohol to try and dull the pain and as he does the movie becomes crazier...

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    Well... I am not a professor and I have never seen The King's Speech. To add insult to injury only one of us put it in his top 20 for the year (at 18th) and that's the guy who sees 25 eligible movies a year! To add blasphemy to insult and injury, Immortals and The Beaver were in my top 20 that...

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    I checked our annual top 20 for the past 9 years: A little more than 13 english language movies in average (it's even around 10 for me who has the most eclectic taste of the bunch) and 6 out of the 9 winners (The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada - which made us change our voting system! - The...

    Final report. Very strange match. It started with an energized Federer and a jaded Djokovic. The swiss rushed to a 3-0 lead was close to get a double break, did not have a break point to defend and closed the set 6-3. Djokovic served a lot better in the second, without necessarily playing a...

    The PS4 version of Diablo 3 will include the Reaper of Souls extention which is released on the 25th so.... estimated date of release for the PS4: not before the 25th!

    Anything worth buying a PS4 over?

    At the moment, you have a selection of some ok exclusives and the best console version of multiplatform games. inFamous Second Son (out on the 21st) is supposed to be the first ok+ exclusive for PS4. As for 'good RPG type shit'... Child of Light (multiplat pseudo-indie) in April? Dragon Age...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    I did. My assumption was that even if they don't count for the ranking they are not played as friendlies and the winner still scores psychological points. If Miami is to face Brookyln in the play-off, they will not consider them as the team they lost to three times in the season, they will...

    Saturday report: I saw nothing today (I blame PnPRPG), but apparently Dolgopolov helped Federer by making a lot of errors and Isner scared Djokovic by forcing a third set, but could not keep his momentum in it. So yeah:Federer vs Djokovicfinal. There will be blood! Federer clearly arrives as...

    At this rate the playoffs in the east will be entertaining: Miami vs Brooklyn: 0-5 vs Chicago: 2-2 vs Washington: 2-2 vs Indiana: 1-1 The Heat fans can take comfort in: Miami vs Charlotte: 5-0 vs Atlanta: 3-1 vs Toronto: 3-0 vs New York: 2-1 vs Cleveland: 2-0 And maybe...

    Friday Report: Quarter final from the bottom of the draw. From the get go Benneteau looked defeated. Maybe the accumulation of matches and the stress involved in such tournement caught up with him, maybe he knew he was not 100% fit and as a result did not believe in his chances today, but in...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I don't understand why they feel the need to have these syncretic universes. For me, the core problematic in X-Men is completely at odds with the essence of the Avengers. At least in their movie versions.

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    I have been maintaining since 2006 a little web site for my group of movie going friends (6 people) where we rate movies we see (yuk, meh and then 1 to 4 stars). I know people often seem enamored with Pan's Labyrinth so I confess I was semi-trolling when I mentioned my genuine taste for Blade II...

    Thursday report: quarters of the top half. - Raonic started his semi very poorly. Not hitting enough first serve, not finding the court with just about any ground strokes: terribad. So Dolgopolov ran away with it and never looked back. By the end of the first set things were little better for...

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    I can see how the mix of fantasy and spanish fascism is original and could be interesting, but sadly the film makes a mess of it all and it never grabbed me. Blade II is a lot less ambitious but it does very good job at being an entertaining B movie.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    People seem to forget that a few episodes back May turned back to being the old May (pulling pranks on the crew). It's ok because the writers seem to have forgotten that also!

    What did you just read?

    I finished the Lies of Locke Lamora the other day, the first book of the Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch. I found it easy to read and entertaining, but I must confess I was a little underwhelmed by it. That might be because I saw beforehand the enthusiasm of some of the posters here and also...

    Quarter finals! Dolgopolov(28) confirmed his won over Nadal by a clean win over Fognini. vs Raonic(10) rallied back from a set down and then an early break down in the third to beat Murray, mostly by being very aggressive on the scot's second serves. I am curious to see how this one will...

    The Grand Budapest Hotel

    Probably the funniest of his movies and the most accomplished in its direction. Every set, every costume, every prop, every shot, every camera movement, the delivery of every line even the movements of the actors are all masterly controlled from start to finish on a frantic pace with a great...

    Tuesday report: Bottom half of the draw. - Gasquet served for the opening set against Verdasco but got reeled back in, forced into a tie-breaker and lost it. And then vanished. Good-bye 8th seed! - Isner managed to win two sets by breaking his opponent! At this rate he'll soon be playing...

    Gwendolyn is not needed to complete the game. At the stage you are at you need the souls of the four lords: Seath in the library, Nito in tomb of the giants, 4 Kings in old lando ruins and Bed of Chaos in Isalith. Note that you might have the souls already and not have sacrificed them to the...

    Monday report top half of the draw: - The shock of the day was the victory of Dolgopolov over Nadal. From the get go we knew it could be a strange match as it started by 4 breaks of serve! A few years back before the US Open, Nadal tweaked his service motion to be more aggressive with it and...

    If you add the 'can also be played on PC haha' close, you will lose Plant vs Zombies: Garden Warfare and Titanfall, but it's true that the PS4 would lose most of its indies (except Resogun, Flower, Sound Shapes and Zen Pinball 2).

    I don't think you understand how metacritics work: They aggregate scores based on a number of reviews. You can argue with they methodology to convert some of the rating systems to percentage, but they use the same methodology across the board so it does not matter when comparing games with each...

    Killer Instinct, Crimson Dragon, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Zoo Tycoon are rated as slightly above average. Just Dance 2014 is multiplaform. Titanfall is yet to be rated. Leaving Forza, Plants vs Zombies and Dead rising 3 as 75+ games on metacritics that can't be...

    You can of course disagree with Pachter (I know I sometimes do), but his position has the merit of being based on more than gut feeling, hearsay, anecdotal evidence and data points in the single digits.

    Some reading for Kudos taken from a very recent analysis of the game industry and its future by Wedbush Securities (Michael Pachter, Nick McKay, Nick Citrin). Hint: they don't agree with you and their job is to crunch numbers and derive trends from them to advise investors.

    I believe you try to buy 999 and it adjusts the cart with how many are left if it's less than 999.
