It should be noted that at that time PC games took a lot of real estate in stores because they were sold in humongous boxes with three floppies and a manual running around in it...

Day 7: Women tennis. I'll leave you with this quote from Youzhny's press conference after his defeat to Murray:

To be fair, during the 8-bit era there were computer games that we simply lost track of since there were made by garage developers who would code something, duplicate the tapes themselves and directly sell them to a couple stores in their area. For our sanity, let's assume it was small...

As previously mentioned, I was a bit worried about the game being infuriating, but it somehow manages to be tense, intense and yet have a hilarious 'oh shit!' effect on failure. I am not sure how it pulls that off... possibly because it's so snappy and ridiculously violent and because you...

He is 35 but he also will be ranked 11 in the world comes Monday. Considering he lost first round at the US Open in 2012 reaching 10 by the end of the year sounds a very real possibility, but he will need a great result or two if he wants to have a shot at playing the Masters Cup (realistically...

I find also pretty crazy that there are eurozone countries that are 'Tier 2'.

I still preciously keep a yellow rubber duck that has written on it: Playstation 3 17.11.2006 because the PS3 was supposed to be released in Europe for that date and ended up being released more than four months later... That said, I understand how Japan might not be a high priority market...

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song comes to mind for black culture of the '70s. The Conversation for some good old fashioned Nixon era taping. Killer of Sheep is also a reference for a sociological portrait of black suburbs in the '70s. I must admit that I did not enjoy the movie much when...

Btw I saw some of the Kanepi vs Robson match and I think she might achieve great things for British tennis, but not much for tennis in general. She has a useful serve (lefty always help) and some good groundstrokes (particularly the forehand which is rarer on the WTA tour), movement is not a...

Day 6: Poland Day I only got to watch some of the early afternoon matches and bits and parts of the late matchesBut we have our quarter finals: Djokovicbenefited from an erratic Haas to win the first set 6-1, he lost focus a little, Haas played a little better, and suddenly the german was...

Nice title! I wonder if they are somehow related to that chinese (?) guy would made stick figure kung-fu movies a few years back. If not related, they are indebted to him. (I found some swf on an old hard drive but they are too big to zip and attach).

You make a good point about the childhood drawings. It makes more sense for her to have kept them from back then than to have somehow found them while investigating Dexter.

The only problem I have with the dock storyline is that it starts and stops in season 2 while all the other storyline are additional layers that paint a picture of the city that is more and more complex.... well I write that but... the school system possibly also lasts one season or?

I don't think Vogel/Matthews had to be partner with Harry in the creation of Dexter. If Matthews called Vogel after Maria's death to check on Dexter and the Bay Harbor Butcher, she could have easily deducted that the moral guidelines in display in the kills had to come from a third party and...

I forgot Lam Suet was in Kung-Fu Hustle. A god among men! Here, some Lam Suet in PTU:

That really has a "have fun with my mess bitches!" ring to it. That said, Zinga is in trouble so it's leaving a mess to face another.

Different strokes I guess because Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is a game I never finished because at some point near the end there is a fight on an elevator with waves upon waves of enemies with limited space and the girl who can and will get killed (a general problem with Sands of Times: at...

I re-read what I wrote at the time of QoS's release the gist was: as much as I found the villain's plot original and interesting and as much as I like Amalric as an actor, this is not a very cinegenic master plan and it makes the antagonist into... basically a boring accountant. I think it's...

What concept? The escort quest, the climbing around or the puzzle/exploration? Because 99% of games who tried to make escort quests turned it into controller destroying abominations (no one seemingly noticing that grabbing Yorda's hand is critical forbothgame play and fiction), the climbing is...

By reaching the fourth round she is guaranteed to be inside the top 30, a feat no british lady managed to do since 1987, so rejoicing is not totally out of place.

I did not see enough of her to form an educated opinion, but nothing stroke me as exceptional in her game in the little I have seen. An unexceptional game well executed can yield great results though. The british media are pumped because she won junior Wimbledon several years ago and voil...

I have been lobbying for Space Alert in the different iterations of this thread for years. Glad to see someone else mention it! It should really be up the alley of MMORPG players too since it's the board game equivalent of a tricky and exciting single group encounter that requires teamwork, task...

James Bond villain got moves.

Day 5: Giant Killers die as much as giants - Tomic beat Gasquet [9] in an extraordinarily close match as both displayed an uncanny ability to save break points (a total of two breaks out of 15 opportunities). Tomic who possibly played with a little less pressure managed to do just enough to...

Yeah I saw a little bit of Riske play in Birmingham where she reached the final as a qualifier. She certainly arrived at the All England Club with a lot of confidence because that's a lot of match wins on grass.

It's a bit dumb, but the players left in the draw are not exactly pushovers. Troicki, Verdasco, Gulbis and Melzer are unseeded, but at their best they have been ranked respectively 12, 7, 21 and 8. These guys can play. Kubot and Mannarino are currently outside the top 100 and made the most of...

Day 4: It's tough being a Kingslayer. Stakhovsky beats Federer? Veteran Melzer does not care and wins in four. Brown ousts Hewitt? Mannarino reads his serve well, makes him play tough volley after tough volley and wins comprehensively. Bouchard beats Ivanovic? Suarez-Navarro is unimpressed...

If A initiate a confrontation but B responds with disproportion, can A still claim the stand your ground thing? Or: when does a confrontation become unlawful?

I bought it for PS3 to encourage both Sony and Cactus... I'll see if I'll dare to play it :P

This is just asking for troubles. The whitewash is particularly fun considering the three sons of Noah are in the legend supposed to be the forefathers of the three ethnicities / continents known at the time. Their Ham does not look very black to me! The fun part is that if they stay close to...

A lot of red numbers in the financial forecast.

Damn... I am probably the goy version of Michael Ginsberg.

My assumption is that publishers want Sony to go on because they get a slice of the subscription cake and it's obviously a good investment to keep publishers happy. Also a good investment to keep users happy and to help them get over the fact that they now need to pay for something that used to...

Remember Karsten Braasch: Truth be told, Serena Williams is 10 times better now than in 1998, but Murray is also 10 times better than Braasch!

Day 3: The drizzle. Rain in the late afternoon prevented the completion and even the start of some of the second round matches. On the head-chopping watch, Raonic [17] went down to dutch guy Sijsling in straight sets (I only saw the very end of it and Raonic was unable to return serve eight...

As much as I would like a Blake or Haas vs Gulbis or Stakhovsky final, it's still 80% chance of a Murray vs Djokovic final though.

I think Lyrical's reason for not liking the movie is about as retarded as Dumar's trekkie-tantrum, but I still think the movie is horribly written. I mean... Goyer, the man who brought you Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Jumper, Blade: Trinity and The Unborn (also director of these two). Also...

There was a thread for it.... or was that on FoH or Morenetz? Anyway, the consensus is that it's great but I must admit these "fast action - fast death - try again" type of games tend to end with me smashing mouse/keyboard/controller/whatever so I have not dared to try it yet. I grabbed the...

Just wanted to add that Kudla actually reach the quarter final at Queen's and beat Paire in his run, so... who knows.

Doubtful... I always assumed part of the Halo success was the good game design of their multiplayer, not only the volume of people owning Halo and I don't think Killzone's multiplayer is considered to be very good.
