I read a pretty cool and long article by a former promoter about that Wilder vs Ortiz fight with a pretty good explanation, from a promoter standpoint, as to why the fight happened, why Ortiz would lose, and why Joshua would win against Wilder down the road. If you think this stuff is not almost...

Hey! I remember that Resolution film. I saw it in a film festival back in 2012 and it was garbage! Sorry! EDIT: That being said, people who made bad movies can also make good ones!

I do not. I maybe have 10 games on PSP and it's not one of them.

I have not played it, but I saw it played and it felt a little tedious (as in solving the puzzle takes 3 sec and then you have to build the solution for 5 mins to get to the next puzzle... that you also solve in 3 sec, etc).

Never mind the fact I don't like the game (which did not prevent me from playing through the whole thing back in the days), I don't seem to have it anymore! Back in the days I traded some games so maybe it's a victim of that. The other option is that I played the EU version and all those games...

@Khane Knowing the guy who put it on his list (at N°5!), I guess he enjoyed it a lot because it is a peculiar object, where you know every single element has been carefully weighted, taking into account representation, the canon, the nostalgia of some of the fans, the lack of nostalgia of some...

Thor: Ragnarok (as previously mentioned), John Wick: Chapter 2, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and American Made made their way into some of our lists. I have American Made at N°12. I found the movie very funny and was extremely surprised by the quality of the editing and cinematography.

Does the Blu Ray have as an extra the super long takes of Gosling doing the mental stability tests?

@spronk You will be pleased to know that the two people who saw Thor: Ragnarok ranked it 6th and 11th. It almost made it in the final Top 20. Wind River did not get released around our parts (note that unreleased movies can enter our lists if at least 3 people saw it, which I think was the case...

Hey! About half the films were not in my personal Top 20! :p

Like we have been doing every year for more than 10 years, five of my friends and me met in late February in a restaurant, each of us with a list of our 20 favorite movies released in the previous year. We then talked and ate and combined all our lists to form the Top 20 movies of the year: the...

He is one of the very skilled player at the game. As you know, skill level and viewership are not directly related, it's a whole package. The little I have seen of Ninja does not make me feel he is my cup of tea, but I watch a good deal of High Distortion and also some Svennoss. He is a dutch...

Help! There is still some time to save us from the game that killed 2D Castlevania by being the poor man's Metroid! Get these votes in!

I am not 100% sure I have a working Master System, but I have a Golden Axe Warrior cartridge and it's supposed to be a pretty good Zelda clone.

I can pour the content of a blender into a cup :(

I have exactly one US Saturn game: Enemy Zero :) I tried to play it back in the days without much success!

Heh... that was the game I was about to submit, though I have the significantly cheaper japanese version (bought $20 - I think you need to add at least one zero for a US version and maybe at least three for a EU version?). EDIT: Now that I think of it, playing a Saturn game might prove tricky...

I look at my shelf and realize how many Saturn games I have yet to play. I'll not submit one though because I doubt many of us have a Saturn and apparently there is no good emulator for it, so... yeah. As a PS1 game was mentioned I'll add another to the list: Valkyrie Profile.

I hope game publishers will not see this thread: they'll start charging by the hour!

Hehehe NB: All games have been finished except La-Mulana. 1) SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classic : 85 h Official emulator, so that covers Landstalker, Shining in the Darkness and Beyond Oasis. 2) Poly Bridge : 73 h Fun physics puzzle (sadly the physics engine kinda breaks in the later levels)...

He was a bit lucky in this campaign because while he played some very good matches (and he had to against Haase and Seppi) he also somehow survived a shocker against Kohlschreiber during which he had trouble finding the court with his ground strokes. He stayed afloat thanks to his serve and he...

In other news, Federer, 36, climbed back to the top of the pile in tennis this week-end becoming the oldest World N°1 in the Open era. Since his return from injury at the start of last year, he won 64 of the 69 matches he played...

I have not played anything new on the Retro front (working on Celeste for PS4 and through Earthbound once a week with a buddy of mine), but something funny happened today. I have a friend who wants to buy a hdmi SNES clone and was asking me about some SFC carts I might have. To limit the back...

City is basically PSG + 3 years (the money dump came in 2008), except in a championship where there are big teams and with a coach that actually won the thing. Also they reached the semi before. So them being among the favorites is more legitimate than the PSG. And @Merrith, what you are saying...

A big pile of Qatari money can win you the french league, it can also book you a ticket to the Champions' League knockout phase (which PSG did every time since their budget exploded), but it cannot buy you the belief that you can win against two or three of the biggest clubs in Europe in a row...

On what planet was the PSG the favorite of the Champions' League?

About Reg Cathey: He had a more substantial part in one of the season of Oz too. He had an amazing screen presence. I saw The Wire before Oz and he had a small (but well written) part in it, but he was so good he lept out of the screen. Not a small feat as he always shared scenes with Aidan...

One of the most impressive thing for me is his will to win. He often makes tennis looks effortless, but when it is needed he is still able to dig deep, to put the blue overall on and work hard. A refreshing side effect of his age is how candid he is now in the interviews. After the final he...

So.... will I need to play the PS3 version of the original before this or will they grace us with a PS4 remake before the release of RDR2?

I was about to say I played Secret of Mana back in the days, beat it and have no desire to play it again, but I actually never beat Seiken Densetsu 3 as I stopped mid way through at the time... I might give it another go.

Very early in the month I played Metroid and now very late in the month I motored through Super Metroid in a day. I had not played it since 94 or 95 (except a bit of the beginning a couple months ago on SNES mini with a friend who did not know the game and did most of the playing) so I set...

I think it takes a special mindset to play Vagrant Story: this game is 99% menuing to craft things. I was so looking forward to this game at the time and I think I lasted 2 hours, if that. Anyway I own 8 of those 10 games and beat 3 of them (Ogre Battle - though with just one ending and...

I may have written a similar post before, but I have the feeling you guys are massively exaggerating Bladrunner's "flop." It certainly under-performed at the U.S. box-office, but between foreign box office, DVD, BluRay, VoD and TV rights, you know this film will be clearly in the black. This...

Last time I accidentally found some weird italian hip-hop, this time I purposefully looked for that russian hip-hop track I heard in a silly russian movie (How Viktor “The Garlic” Took Alexey “The Stud” to the Nursing Home). Considering the 3 million views on youTube I assume it's popular...

They raised $2,267,377.96 this year, so about $45k more than the record that was set last year. 108k came from Twitch chat in the form of subscriptions and bits. It's crazy that about half the total is donated on the last day.

That was actually pretty cool to see. The juggling between the games was fun, the pausing, while meh, allowed for a number of funny frame freeze and, to top it off, he had a supremely clutch fight against Tyson.

It's more than at the same time: it's using a single controller / single set of inputs for both games! It's pretty crazy but I suspect also a bit lame because basically it will be all about avoiding having to play two fights at the same time and using the fact uppercuts on Punch Out pause Super...

I encourage people unhappy with the fact speedruns are speedruns to organize a nostalgia 'let's play' marathon. I would watch that too for sure, but that would be another event. A GDQ is as much about familiarity (games you know, runs you know, runners your know, etc) than unfamiliarity (games...

@Haast I am sorry to inform you that it is very likely your $10 SNES controller clones are not non-garbage :P Also my understanding is that you can update the kernel of the SNES Mini to keep the UI and add other emulators (for NES, Genesis, TG-16, etc - emulation for more recent systems is...
