    Elysium

    District 9 also had plot holes so big you could fit the giant spaceship through. Here is to hoping you can't fit the space station through them in Elysium. Should be fun either way though.

    It's not unusual for some third party games to get released before the console needed to play them though.

    I find it odd that the Spurs did not find a way to get a fifth foul on Wade. You can't allow a hot guy with four early fouls to spend that much time on the floor.

    Are there factual comparisons with the PC world now that we have a clearer idea of the specs? Are there even PC motherboards that support that new high speed ram or is it only available for video cards?

    If Sony's release window for the PS4 overlaps with Xbone's, Sony can't be sure of who will be first.

    It's bizarre, because it's really a common practice for small companies that can't afford floor space to have pseudo-booths near this kind of events. There must be more to this story than this.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    When Theon was "adopted" by the Stark, the Greyjoy people stayed on their islands. As soon as Theon stepped on the Iron Islands, the Greyjoy people reverted back to pillaging the coasts of the North. So holding Theon alive seems like a good bargaining chip (Ramsey being better at torturing than...

    I think it's safe to say that this 3 pts shooting insanity will be difficult to reproduce for the Spurs, but on the bright side for them, this oddity resulted in a lopsided score, not in a close win. You feel like they were still in a very good position would Green and Neal have posted human...

    There is a huge difference between a system that has built-in tools for mandatory DRM and a system where DRM is possible. I seriously doubt all the publishers will hold hands together and decide to all use draconian DRM on the PS4. The thing is anything short of that means anyone implementing...

    Jamie wanting or not to continue his incestuous relationship with Cersei does not change the fact that he knows she is the only person genuinely worried about his whereabouts, so going straight to her is the logical thing to do.

    I don't have a PC able to run anything other than quirky indie games at this point and I don't plan to upgrade any time soon. With its price point and a couple games that interest me (The Witness), I might buy the PS4 at launch, something I have not done since... damn... the Dreamcast?

    The bad part with voice command / gesture is that it's a worse interface than buttons. The bad part with Kinect is that brilliant minds tried for more than a decade to make good camera based games and they all failed. Bad features are not features at all.

    Fun facts: - By reaching the final, Ferrer leap-froged past Nadal in the ranking (Only a matter of time for Nadal as he is ranked 5 in the world with only 4 months worth of events). - Haas, god among men, is now ranked 11. He will possibly lose some points this week in Halle (defending...

    I agree we did not see nearly enough good inside-out forehands by Ferrer. He oddly played a lot of inside-in forehands at the beginning of the match which did not help his cause much, because when they were weak and/or short, Nadal played an aggressive backhand cross court for a winner or for...

    Ferrer had to play very well to stand a chance today and he played an ok match. That was no enough.
