How old are you?

A FF for the old gamers, a FF for the young gamers. Makes sense.

Let's just hope the girl's bite was not poisonous as well!

I don't know if Melisandre will resurrect Jon or not, but I am sure she might be interested in that pool of blood.

J.R. Smith played a good quarter! Can he play 3 more? 7 more?

The main problem with Tactics Ogre is that you can probably play it for 10,000 hours and still be trying to complete some obscure side quests that provides resolution for the 47th character, but only if you beat that battle in 3 rounds, that one using only dragons and a third one where N?47 must...

That immolation by fire scene really did not work for me, because, for some reason, it reminded me of an execution scene in a (great) egyptian movie titled Destiny (Al Massir) by Youssef Chahine. In Chahine's film, he showed the victim melting down in the purest tradition of horror films (wax on...

Since it's the continuation of a popular serie by an established author and, to my knowledge, they don't release these simultaneously in different languages, I would assume the final version of the text can be obtained very late in the publishing process. Once they have a narrow'ish window for...

For most sports, the coverage a 'multi-camera + replays' TV broadcast offers is better than being at the event in person. The only benefit of being at the event is... being at the event! So it feels to me this VR coverage design really is the worst of both worlds: worse coverage and worse...

I don't find that particularly outrageous that a sociologist, when presented with the potential of space colonization, instead of being all starry-eyed, asks: "Ok, but with what kind of society?" A lawyer would probably wonder about things like jurisdiction and a philosopher about the purpose of...

The Cliff Notes leaked: build up, build up, build up, build up, hasty resolution.

Dellavedova for finals MVP!

The Cavs are playing this 4th quarter like they did the OT in game one...

It's true, but it has yet to materialize into a significant lead on the scoreboard.

How many more injuries needed for the Cavs to be only able to field 4 players?

Sunday was a great day for tennis, but today is even greater: TOMMY HAAS IS BACK! After a year off the tour to recover from a fourth (!) shoulder injury, the 37 (!) year old is back in action! His beautiful brand of all court attacking tennis is still a feast for the eyes. Remember it is also...

Considering Scott's recent track record, the martian will probably be carried back to earth by angels or something...

He is certainly the greatest swiss tennis player of these past two weeks!

Day 15:Stan the Man: 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4 We knew Wawrinka would try to be the aggressor, but what we did not know is how well he would play during the final. The answer: pretty damn well. The key stat of the match: 60 winners to 30. Yep. Wawrinka scored 60 winners in just four sets against the...

Day 14! I feared the end of the Murray vs Djokovic match would last 12 points, but it did not. Starting at 3-3, there was zero room for observation or a slow start and both leapt out of the starting blocks. Djokovic was regal behind his serve, getting free points and taking care of any meek...

They need to train some more:

Does "everything" include Chris Tucker's obnoxious radio host?

Day 13! Semi finals day! Only two matches! They start at 1 pm so surely they can play two matches right? Nope. They can't. The Wawrinka vs Tsonga match played in grueling heat. The other thing red hot was Wawrinka who just trampled Tsonga during a set and a half. It felt the swiss was hitting...

What a nightmarish overtime.

My guess would be: filming schedule conflict with Divergent. Or did her character die in the previous film? I don't think it did.

It should me mentioned that this show does not reach brilliant territory because it is pretty formulaic, but it is very good. The weekly cases are often clever and tackle interesting subjects in a reasonably smart way and the personal life / case solving balance is good. Add some good dialogues...

Tomato juice is also not carbonated.

I suspect retarded inconsistent policies over islamophobia for this one. Could anyone on the plane get a closed Diet Coke? I went to see a sport event in France and I had to throw away my plastic canteen because closed container were forbidden (the idea being you can hurt someone by throwing...

Day 11! As our old friend Aesop would say: The mountains gave birth to mice. The top half quarters that had the potential to be very close and hard fought battles ended up being fought, but one sided. After winning a very tight first set against Ferrer, Murray opened the flood gates and would...

Voted. It should be mentioned that the first post no longer says who to vote for... I found the answer relatively quickly, but still.

But they apparently were not aware that red vehicles go faster!

This was a remake of a french film in the first place.

Is that good or bad news? Or neutral news because the lack of plasma bow does not hinder the sheathing effect?

It's difficult to quantify "dramatic" without a point of comparison, but ok. This assumption is huge. We know that in human history the pace of discoveries varied dramatically for cultural reasons alone. We even know it went backward at times, so assuming this will no longer happen is in itself...

There are several movies with zombies/undead that walk at the bottom of a body of water. Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind, but, more canon, Romero's Land of the Dead. But I can think of at least one movie with a swimming zombie: Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2! In that 1979 classic there is a jaw...

My points are that the article is not very good, that the Fermi paradox does not feel very paradoxical to me and that my speculations as to why are not covered by said article and that many of the speculations listed by the article use a number of poor assumptions.

Day 10! No rain, some sun, not too cold... but a lot of wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind. Yep. All matches today were plagued my heavy, irregular gusts of wind that heavily affected play. It was terrible early in the afternoon and calmed down a little as time went by, but even late in the...
