Now that there are some custom games available, I have seen some competitive squad games. I am not sure if it was a consequence of having only good teams and/or starting with only 48 people (it was a kind of qualification event), but it felt like a totally different game. It was extremely...

There is no doubt Ramos grabs Salah's arm and makes him fall, but Salah falling awkwardly and injuring his shoulder (the left one btw, so not the side Ramos grabbed) is a freak accident. The foul is very real, but it's not a mean or even a dangerous one, it's just doubly unfortunate that Ramos...

The keeper on the bench must not be happy...

Traditionaly, it's english keepers who do things like that. On the up side, it jump started the match!

Boston was not in a winning position last night in the 4th quarter, but certainly in a winnable position (7 points down with 8 minutes remaining or something? And then again at 4 min remaining). The thing is that just when they needed stops the most, they could not even find one! The two long...

Against by better judgement: Zelda II...

A bit cruel for Green to be the guy to fumble after putting his team in contention with a couple great plays.

This is the most bizarre match of "basketball." Houston is at what? 876 3 points attempts in one half?

In a game with so few spoken words, It's probably fairer to assume it's an artistic decision made to enhance the sense of mystery and wonder of the game world, in the continuation of what was done in ICO (and later was also done in The Last Guardian).

Let me know how the 2nd half of that Rockets vs Warriors game go, because that first half was intriguing.

About Durant and muscle mass: the thing is, the guy is an athlete not a fitness model, so getting muscle just to get muscle is not part of the plan, as every additional pound he does not need to do his assigned task is just weight he'll need to carry back and forth on the court. So the question...

I did not. As I did not backtrack (other than checking Frogfucius to know what to do next when the game flowed oddly), I hardly saw anything about side quests. I did the musical mini game which gave me a 3rd level pass for a juice bar I have never seen, I did the hidden object sub quest in...

Beat the game! To focus on the positive the comedy is a bit better in the Nimbus village (the funniest thing in the game being the sculptor describing Mario). Playing on the SNES Mini, I am glad I could use save states for some of the later parts. The sword boss and the final boss being pretty...

The N°1 PC player (currently ranked N°2 as we don't have the final ranking just yet) seems to be a former pro gamer from Taiwan that goes by the name ZRush (though his twitch account means something like Pretty Rabbit). The surprising thing is that his stats before the event were not that...

The problem with this format is the indirect interference that is a bit dickish.

@faille You can always check fortnite tracker I guess.

He sadly does not do those on a set schedule, but AngryLanks (who mainly stream speedruns of NES games - he is the Contra WR holder) does some sweet streams where viewers can submit retro video game songs and he drums over them (no donation needed, but he goes through the queue in order, so the...

@Lenas @Gavinmad Well... can you explain to me how damage dealing works in this game? Attacking the same enemy type in the same encounter formation in 2 different fights, using the same basic attack with Mario, both time triggering the damage bonus, I hit once for 60 and the next for 180...

Everytime I see this thread I am thinking of another Agony game.

I always find that dribbling for 18 sec and shoot a random 3 is a dumb way to maintain a lead even when there are just a few minutes remaining and you have a 20 points lead.

Got the 5th star. I don't understand this game. It's like no system makes sense, all mini-games are unplayable, difficulty goes up and down without rhyme or reason, the comedy misses a lot more than it hits... there are some original puzzles here and there and it's kinda charming at times but heh.

I guess the question is: Can the Rockets choke that lead? Strangest things have happened in playoff basketball.

Pretty interesting movie was that John Rambo. A super dry and lean film (I think it's like 77 min without the credits), it felt like a '80s italian action film with the over the top violence and practical effects. One of the strength of the film was also to use a pretty heavy context, exploring...

They got a big lead in the 3rd but it was cut down to 5 I think by the end of the quarter, so it was still a contest. It does feel that game 2 is now a 'must win' for Houston though.

Got the 2nd star yesterday. The game's brand of humor leaves me pretty cold I must say, but I enjoyed the meta elements that surround the 'birth' of Geno. The level design of that sewer section was also pretty cool as it manages to be disorientating with a very small number of rooms. On the...

@yimmien with the almost two decades old meme!

For something completely different, I just saw The Rider, a drama set in the Dakota rodeo scene. The whole cast is made of non-professional actors playing just slightly fictionalized versions of themselves. This helps make some scenes extremely poignant and also allows for some breathtaking and...

Played a bit today. Got the first star. Let's just say I am not exactly enthusiastic at this point... obviously it will never stop being an eyesore, but maybe things will pick up a bit, be it storywise or gameplaywise.

Played a little more of my NES backlog. First, Gauntlet II. It is an endless dungeon crawling game. First five floors are set and then you get random floors out of a list of about 100, for ever. It is aggressively mediocre and totally uninteresting. In about 20min you see just about all the game...

I have not seen China Salesman, but in Wolf Warrior 2 and Operation Red Sea, the main antagonists are european mercenaries in the first and arab terrorists in the second. A strong theme in Wolf Warrior 2 is the great friendship between chinese and african people (even if the representation of...

Two of the most recent blockbusters in China have been action movies with chinese involved in Africa: Wolf Warrior II (a kind of Rambo 2 on amphetamines) and Operation Red Sea (more like, let's say, a kind of chinese version of Black Hawk Down). So this might kinda explain the existence of this...

Thanos is actually pretty well balanced as all his moves are impossible to cancel and have long wind up (the jump), long recovery time (the aoe drop punch) or long duration (the laser). If you are clever, it's actually pretty difficult for Thanos to kill you. Eat a crystal and time jumps...

In what alternate Marvel universe timeline did that happen?

I am not up to date with my NBA rule set... can you really tuck the ball against your body when you drive to the ring without it being a carry? Or is it like the travels?

For info, it's a weird remix of Smetana's Die Moldau. Best known (at least to me) for being in Tree of Life.

Autoplay in your twitch clip integration? It's more likely than you think!

How is that not a charge by James on Lowry at the end of the 2nd?

He shoots more 3s than entire teams though!

Open portal beneath feet of the antagonist. Close portal before antagonist goes all the way through. Roll credits.

It's pretty funny that out of the 6ish situations that could have ended in a penalty kick between yesterday's and today's matches, it's probably the softer one that ended with an actual penalty kick. It's hard to not feel it only got called because the ref knew it would have zero impact on the...
