Seven of the top 8 seeds in quarter with only Dimitrov replacing Del Potro... that AO is not one for surprises at the top of the hierarchy! That said, Dimitrov upset Raonic and Nadal is very very lucky that Nishikori could not keep his nerves every time he was ahead because the japanese could...

I am pretty sure no player left in the draw like Serena when she is still in the draw. Whenever she loses, that seriously boosts the chances of everyone else. As I write this though, Stephens is learning the hard way that the biggest beneficiary of a Williams loss is Azarenka.

Mrs Hudson is played by a good friend of Sherlock's mother who knows Sherlock since he was a child.

So far, I just saw bits and pieces of matches here and there. I don't expect next week to be much better (film festival!). Anyway, Haas is injured so the event instantly becomes a lot less interesting! The two big upsets up until now are the defeats of Del Potro in five against journeyman...

I am curious to see which will win best Cinematography. The Grandmaster is very impressive (but possibly suffers from not having enough voters that saw it), Gravity is groundbreaking and that car sequence by night in Prisoners just blew my mind. It's not exactly like it's the first movie with...

How is Before Midnight an adaptation? Oh and Chiwetel Ejiofor for best actor was in 12 years a slave, not Capitain Philips (so is Tom Hanks also nominated?)

Did you know that to detect brain tumors doctors ask their patients if they watch the 'coming next week' previews after TV shows?

Let's refocus on something we can all agree on: talking about the 'next week' preview should be forbidden before the next episode aired!

New and Upcoming Playstation 4 Games at Metacritic - Metacritic and New and Upcoming Xbox One Games at Metacritic - Metacritic I notice now there are some issues though as some multiplatform games don't have enough XB1 reviews to register (Battlefield 4, Lego Marvel, Skylander)...

That's highly debatable. Going by a metacritic score strictly above 75 (what is considered 'good' by their standard), PS4 has 17 good titles and the XB1 8. On top of that, 5 of those 8 games are available on PS4, leaving Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 and Peggle 2. On the other hand, 9 of the PS4...

The Xbox vs PS2 numbers are pretty tough to compare to the following two generations considering the Xbox lasted 8 years and the PS2 13... but it was 23% vs 77% in NA and 11% vs 89% in Europe in the end. If anyone has 2005 numbers to give a better idea...

Just an update on the Sway vs Bone race with context. In the US: X360vsPS3is 62% vs 38% (68.5 million units) XB1vsPS4is 48% vs 52% (4 million units) In Europe: X360vsPS3is 43% vs 57% (58 million units) XB1vsPS4is 33% vs 67% (2.5 million units) Global: X360vsPS3is 50%...

I must say there was some good parts in the episode and some very funny lines (even if some did not fit the characters so well), but ultimately there was almost no investigation and a lot of shark jumping.

Technically, chinese chess isXiangqi(with chariots and canons!). Go is just go.

I think the runners liked the game. Anyway... for posterity:

There was a dev during Borderland 2 too, that was rather amusing.

Sailor Moon, Snork, Snow White with an assault rifle... But she gets mad respect in my book for.... an Arale playing with poop straight from the only good manga by Toriyama: Dr. Slump!

Blindfolded punch-out was pretty incredible. Not only because of the skill of the runner, but also because of the game design!

These last examples are not very good: - There is a whole field in art called "outsiders art", that is creations by people with no formal training in the fine arts, people who do not consider themselves to be artists, people with mental conditions, but more importantly, people that create...

There is also the possibility it's a real building somewhere that the Mass Effect concept artist sci-fi'ed up.

The dungeons in Decent have variations depending on the number of characters, so *in theory* it should be balanced no matter how you choose to play. In practice, I suspect playing with a single character must require additional balancing to counter a number of little things that pile up (less...

Noodleface, I feel myself forced to play the part of the smug euro player: when you think D&D, are you interested in the co-op tactical fantasy combat or by the multiplayer interactive storytelling? I am asking because D&D is dangerously close to a (bloated and not very good) board game, so if...

These awful games run are neat because even in terrible games there are sometimes good and original ideas here and there that you would never get to see otherwise since the games are borderline unplayable. That and it's often hilarious and impressively played.

I am not sure how some of you have troubles with the sentinels. Maybe I had good endurance and a high stability shield, but for me it was all about teasing them to do a shield slam, move behind them, switch to 2 hand, swing down, swing up and good night (using a well upgraded Black Knight Sword...

I am 100% sure he was credited as a writer in the second episode (with two other people) on top of being credited as creator.

The thing is, in the previous generation, Japan only amounted to about 6% of the global HD consoles market (PS3 + X360). I am not sure why it would change with the current gen.

Wrath of Gods with an xp ring and several damage boosters to get the overkill bonus provided me with a considerable amount of souls in the painted world in a very short amount of time. Apparently some people prefer the endlessly spawning tiny skeletons that are in the tomb of the giants...

Playing without using spoilers, it's pretty likely that you encounter the Great Hollow way before you get that ring since it's in New Lando or something.... That said there are other ways to raise curse defense through armor... and maybe even consumables? I don't think I ever got cursed to death...

The obvious answer is to buy PS4s for their friends!

I am not big fan of Great Hollow / Ash Lake myself. It feels disjointed from the rest of the game, like an alpha level that was not supposed to be in the final game. Maybe it works better if the first time you go there is to conclude the father / daughter knight sub-quest.

I believe you can deal directly with Sony if you have an issue, can't you? @DickTrickle:USA Weekly Video Game Chart, Week Ending 28th Dec 2013 - VGChartz

USA Numbers are about 2 millions PS4 and 1.8 million XB1. That's a 48/52 split between Microsoft and Sony. Previous gen was 62/38.

Many games make unskippable cut-scenes skippable once you saw them once. That or put check points after cut-scenes. A more elegant approach was one found in one of the Prince of Persia (the Ubi reboots of the original, not Ubi's reboot of the reboot). Since time manipulation was a key element of...

There is something a bit depressing about this "I am sometimes tired to play multiplayer FPS on my PC, so for a change of pace I'd like to play some multiplayer FPS on my TV" stance. Why not play something else entirely?

I have not played co-op with a friend, but considering the restrictions (boss must not be dead, level bracket, living host) it should be pretty easy to put a mark down out of the way and just wait until it pops in your buddy's world. At any given time, how many people have all the criteria to...

The critical part is understanding that both the story you tell and the way you tell this story have to be good. A major problem with video game is that many of its stories are not worth being told and most of its stories are not told in a way that make good use of the medium. In this day...

I eat at least a banana a day, so it's just like spending my life on top of a nuclear power plant To make things worse I also eat a lot of tuna So long and thanks for all the fish...

Cuckoobliette.

That's one problem we had with game: we used all the Dune names! Maybe it might be different for those more familiar with Twilight Imperium than Dune (and that's not even sure because the names of the races are not that memorable in TI). Anyway, the final battle of our game was the emperor...

Don't you need the Thief's key to do that straight at the beginning?
