That whole stickball thing sounded too absurd for it to not be based on some sort of historical truth!

Voxels? Why? I am not too familiar with voxels... isn't that a nightmare for lightning? And what is the advantage? Does it help to make everything modifiable and breakable or something?

The SMS/Mark III and Genesis/Megadrive had limited success in Japan (euphemism). A big problem in an era where console development was almost totally dominated by japanese companies doing game first and foremost for the japanese market.

Additional notes: -Melzerthat I discarded inDel Potro's part of the draw ended up winning his fifth career title in Winston Salem. He might be able to ride this wave to reach the R32, but beating Del Potro seems like an unlikely scenario. -Monfils(Isner/Nadalpart of the draw) reached the...

What does that make you? A master baiter?

And so old!

I love Curb Your Enthusiasm. Yet, every time I see a clip from Seinfeld I am shocked by the atrocious line delivery and abominable laugh track. Someone please explain to me how it is better than Curb and convince me to watch that show.

Let's not turn this thread into the political thread 2.0, but there is very little doubt that if a republican president had Obama's record as far as drone strikes, whistle blower prosecution, mass scale spying and other similar niceties, the outrage would be on a whole other scale.

That's the symbol used to mark Buddhist temples on maps in Japan.

That's the spirit!

"Crimes that did not happen" seems like a pretty difficult thing to keep accurate records of. Do you have some statistics for that?

I have a friend who is a pathological liar, but it's mostly harmless. His deal is that he knows everything. His trick is that he does in fact know a lot of things and has extreme in depth knowledge in some areas (never play Trivial Pursuit Star Wars with this guy, but be sure to direct your...

A note and a question from a distant observer: - The Time mentioning cop on citizen violence is a strange idea, because it's a whole other can of worms. - How do the single parent statistics fare for other ethnicities in poor urban communities?

You are working on the odd assumption that BF4 will be no more visually intensive than BF3. On top of that, a PC built around a cheap 7850 and a cheap i5 will still be significantly more expensive than a PS4.

It's two different metrics: IGN tells you how good or bad it is, RT tells you what proportion of critics like it. If everyone agrees a movie is barely above average, it's 6.2 on IGN and 100% on RT. If reviewers are split it might be a 9.8 on IGN and a 50% on RT.

A word about those who are not at the US Open: Tsonga: retired in Wimbledon because of a knee problem. Has not played since. Even if he is back on his feet for the asian and indoor swings, it very much puts his spot at the Masters Cup in jeopardy, which could benefit Wawrinka, Gasquet, Haas...

US Open right around the corner! Let's check the draw of the Top 8 seeds with some comments about who did what since Wimby. [1] DJOKOVICplayed the two Masters 1000 after Wimby (Canada and Cinci) and lost to Nadal in the semi of the first and to Isner in the quarter of the other. Ok...

Edgar Wright has yet to make a bad movie and the last one, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, was nothing short of phenomenal. I'll be there... if it's released around here...

A bit of comedy, a bit of ultra violence, a bit of drama, a bit of high school chick flick... so in the end, nothing really works. Also, the first one had above average directing, not so much in this sequel. Add Jim Carrey's screen time being almost entirely in the trailers and doing almost...

Also, what is the point of a stereo display with head tracking if it's to look at dots on a scanner?

- The long tail of a movie comes with TV, rental and physical media (or the occasional re-release). But it's true the business model is very different from the one of comics. Maybe comparing DVD/BluRay sales against comic book sales would be more fair. - If you want to look at things from a...

There are some amazing fight scenes in there, a magnificent cast and superior cinematography, but it really feels like most of what could have made the story intelligible was left on the floor of the editing room. It's a bit of a mess. At times you are like 'I feel like I am supposed to...

It's difficult to make a fair comparison, because there are also differences in the way the media are consumed. For many, going to the movies is a family trip (multiple ticket sales), but if that same family wanted to read a comic book, they would buy it just the once. Still... if you compare...

The main problem of this movie is that we want to spend time with the magicians, but instead we spend time with the poorly written cop duo (and I love M?lanie Laurent to death! Check "I'm Fine, Don't Worry" if you can). The other problem is that it suffers from a chronic form of 'why make it...

Oh it is Golvellius: Valley of Doooooooooom! The few screen shots I glanced over were from the side scrolling portions of the game, so I discarded it too fast. I should have noticed the gigantic mop of green hair! As for zelda clone on SMS/MSX I also missed Golden Axe Warrior which seem to be...

I saw the movie at a festival: It's hilarious for about 45 minutes, it peaks when the antagonist send a number of silly super hero after Hentai Kamen (Macho Kamen, Cool Kamen...), but then it severely looses steam and it become quite verbose and boring up until the end.

There is a shot clock going at the bottom right that should help. Anyway, I feel Dantana's outburst is interesting, because it is motivated by a feeling that is not totally illegitimate: the press being soft on Obama because he has a D next to his name. The outburst also comes because his...

Crell's #3 is Fantasy Zone. Searching for Crell's #2 I stumbled uponhttp://www.mobygames.com/game/genesis/crusader-of-centyAnyone played that game? I had never heard of it and it looks pretty awesome.

Descent + VFX-1 almost 20 years ago? Also by 'vow of selebacy' do you mean 'vow of celebacy'? The promise to not masturbate to pictures of Hollywood starlets such as Emma Watson?

Back then we used to say about these adventure games heavy on fmv but light on puzzles: 'It was so boring that I fell asleep on my mouse and when I woke up I had completed the game'

It is important to understand that these brands are known by a number of people that is dramatically bigger than the one of those currently reading the comics (even if you consider only the US). So even if every single current comic book reader stopped going to super hero movies, the studio...

It had its moments but it felt like a diluted episode of Curb My Enthusiasm. The comedic density of the episodes of the show is not there.

Just played this one for an hour. It's pretty awesome and you just don't know if you must laugh or cry! Very original concept and great execution (hopefully not yours!). EDIT: Played another two hours before going to sleep... it made for a terrible night filled by the weirdest cold war...

Tobacco. Why shouldn't it be wiped off the earth?

I sure don't care. The only games I have seriously played online in the last five years are Demon's Souls, Journey and Dark Souls...

A Terrine Warrior told me #2 is Buck Rogers

Answer: $$$ The price you pay for the rights is lower than the revenue generated by brand recognition. Especially true when the people who own the rights make the movies themselves!

Was your earlier one identified McCheese?

He is still in the opening credits so... college?
