Not today, but yesterday. Watching TV, I stumbled upon a subject about the psychiatric section in the local prison and one of the mentally ill prisoners they interviewed was a former middle school classmate of mine. That was weird.

That's the part where I want to recommendThe Summit of the Godsand wonder why there is only a partial english language release in the UK.

I had to screen grab this for the 12 year old in all of us. No photochop.

Well... I was looking forward to see what the resident experts on rugby had to say about the surprise win of Japan over South Africa... only to realize there is no Rugby World Cup threadSo now there is one! And, yeah... Rugby World Cup in England. It started Friday and will last until the end...

Yeah, they are looking for the "freshest" ball to help the serve. Depending on the conditions of play, the balls can get fluffy rather fast. In damp conditions, they also absorb moisture, even more so when they end up rolling on the wet covers that are folded at the back of the court or land in...

This managed to be even more frustrating than the Wimbledon final. Djokovic started the match very well and with a mind set that was way more aggressive than in his previous matches of the tournament. Federer, on the other hand, had a nervous start. Maybe feeling the pressure of the moment...

Day 12: And only two were left standing. DJOKOVIC[1] played a decent, solid match, but Cilic [9] certainly did not. Bothered by his swollen ankle and missing a lot, the defending champion meekly sent the World N?1 to the final. vs FEDERER[2] looked at first like he had a tough day at the...

Well... Vinci has a career Grand Slam in double and has been ranked 11 at her best, so she can play tennis. I thought her lack of power would be a deal breaker but... apparently not. I just saw two highlight points (constructions followed to the net for drop volley winners), so I am not sure...

Day 10: We have our semi finals. DJOKOVIC[1] started his quarter final match against Lopez [18] in a frenzy. In less than 20 minutes, he was leading 5-0, putting in play meaningful return after meaningful return in play, alternatively finding the baseline, the feet of the serving and...

Day 8: We have our quarter finals! DJOKOVIC[1] was a bit passive against Bautista Agut [23]. Not the greatest of idea against a guy that barely misses a ball from the back of the court and who is very able to built offensive patterns with his no non-sense brand of tennis. As the spaniard was...

A trailer for Mushroom 11 since we got a double dose of Below:

Day 6: 3 down, 4 to go! SEEDICIDE: Ferrer[7] got overpowered by a surprisingly consistent Chardy [27]. Nadal[8] was leading Fognini [32] by two sets and a break. At that point I suspect many people went to bed as it was already pretty late. I almost did, and it was a good idea that I...

Day 4: Round 2 is done and dusted! SEEDICIDE: In a match I did not see, the 17th seed Dimitrov found himself two sets to love down against the underrated Kukushkin. The bulgarian forced a fifth set, but lost it 6-4, continuing to eat the long shit sandwich that is 2015 for him...

Well... better nate than lever. After 2 hot and humid days (that played a part in a sad record of 10 retirements), the first round is complete. SEEDICIDE: Last year finalist and N?4 seed Nishikori had the misfortune of an early exit. It was already a bit unlucky to draw unpredictable...

Isn't there a NPC you can summon near by? I don't remember having that much trouble with him.

There were some great great things in MGS3, but I mostly remember it for having a ridiculously long timer for things to go back to normal after being noticed. It was so stupid that whenever possible I just ran to the next check point and died to quickly respawn a check point further and with no...

In case you missed it, the Sherlock Holmes movies came well after he married Madonna.

Well... I guess the format of the thread pushes me toward this pretty artificial 'blurby' style, it's true that I turn it a bit into a writing exercise! And no, I have never been paid to write blurbs before. I have been paid to write reviews though, but not of books. I also sorta worked in...

US OPEN AROUND THE CORNER What happened since Wimbledon: Nadal won a tournament! Hambourg, a 500 on clay... and then, while playing decent tennis, he lost to Nishikori in Canada and to a very inspired Lopez in Cinci. Djokovic, World N?1 and Wimbledon Champion, played some topsy turvy matches...

Huh? Is it me you are asking? Paid to do what?

I saw it in a festival a couple months ago. A fun little film that avoids the temptation of just being a joke and manages to have a solid story structure the whole way through. The girl's character is very funny.

Just readThe Windup Girl, a neo-noir thriller set in a dystopian future of global warming and terrible energetic woes as fossil fuel are going the way of the dodo and genetic plagues of multiple nature decimated people, crops and animals. The book follows a number of flawed characters in the hot...

Also, in the "think of the children!" social bullshit catalog, Putin's party, after fighting "gay propaganda" is now trying to ban naturism...

If I have a single complaint to formulate is that the number of unwanted pregnancies from deadbeat fathers is more than a little hard to swallow, even with the touching letter from the hard working latino mother. Also Spallone is a bit of a caricature, but it could very well be true to life...

Soooo.... Xbox Half?

There is a lot of neo-classic synthwave in there, so let me ad a bit of post-modern (as in: omg wtf is going on!):

Being an albino in Africa isunlucky.

Grow Home is supposed to be short but pretty good.

Not very nice to the hookers.

There are several games in which Big Boss is the hero, but then, from Metal Gear onward, the hero is Snake, with Big Boss being the antagonist of the first game. Logic requires that we see him going from hero to antagonist. My guess is that it's what MGS V is about.

It's not replayable in the sense that there are a lot of secrets, a leaderboard or multiple endings. Even the fact the island is randomly generated does not change things much since all the elements will be the same, just in a different topography (though it might take three or four play through...

You guys are funny with your double digits backlogs!

Etrian Odyssey?

Is that a DLC level for Hohokum?

It should be noted that while games are region free for the PS4 (actually it's up to the publisher and there are some very rare cases of region locked games I believe like that Atlus brawler), Most DVDs and BluRays are very much region locked, so your US disks will not play on a EU PS4.

The problem with Dark Soul is that the minimum length of a block in which progress is made is pretty damn long and the number of viable strategies is small when compared to the number of things that can be done.

I left this one out because, while he is pretty good in it, I don't like the film much. But as far as working with big names director, yeah. And he'll be in Star Wars too.

Oscar Isaac is on fire: A Most Violent Year, Ex Machina and now this?

With the same principle they beat Metal Gear Solid... which also sounds pretty much impossible if you ask me, but it happened.

Jay Roach just has the strangest career for a film director... the film looks interesting though.
