Brazil great going forward but panicky at the back. Without help I don't see them winning it

Fix is definitely in

If they give those there'll be a penalty every game

As I understand it a docking computer is something you'll be able to buy later on, but how automatic everything will be with it I don't know. Some of the remote space stations will apparently not offer "rotational assistance" while docking, which means that even once you get inside them the...

The shotgun loading sound too! Was that the Cyberdemon? I still remember thinking WTF will this be the first time I heard him stomping around before the door opened.

If we're talking about upsets Chile might sneak past Holland to qualify. Switzerland and Cameroon as you mention are both good enough to cause trouble.

Nice for Ricciardo. It will be interesting to see what the problem was that caused both Mercs to lose power at the same time (if they tell us). Other big news: Red Bull's Adrian Newey shifts sole focus from Formula 1 BBC Sport - Red Bulls Adrian Newey shifts sole focus from Formula 1...

Belgium have the players to do very well but I think they're going go out against Argentina in the quarter finals. Uruguay are in a worse spot. On paper it's a tough group and whoever gets out of it is almost certain to be playing either Brazil or Spain at the quarter final stage.

Having less money and a smaller team helps you stay focused. Elite isn't as ambitious as SC and they had their graphics engine up and running before the Kickstarter IIRC. Take a look at these beautiful Elite: Dangerous system maps | PCGamesN

World of Darkness - the inside story on the death of a game | Technology | theguardian.com There's much more inside the link, and it doesn't paint a good picture of CCP management.

His contract with the publisher is for seven books. His editor mentioned she thought the story could stretch into eight, although hopefully she was joking.

Five or six years ago he would. He's a good player, but age and injury have caught up with him.

Just because people are rich doesn't stop them being greedy, or stupid. The amounts of betting money involved are also quite phenomenal. The players don't even have to throw the game, people will bet on things other than the final result. And then there are the match officials, who make a...

Some alpha 4 gameplay: First 5 or so minutes is looking at the map (Douglas Adams was right, space is really big), then a jump to a new system. Space station docking is about 12 minutes in and takes about 60 seconds, followed by some menu stuff for trading and ship upgrades. Combat is...

Lawyers are going to love these things. Who gets sued the first time someone gets run over by one of these, or it goes into the back of a car? Or a whole convoy of these things take a wrong turn and deposit their passengers in the river because the satellite map thinks it's a road?

From what I saw of them in the middle of last year Italy were my pre-tournament choice to win the World Cup.

I think it takes away some combinations of IC + MC that were probably unintended when they wrote 6th. If the rumours are true that ICs can't join MCs at all in 7th then there will be much wailing amongst "those guys".

Yeah, and come to think of it one option could be better than the other for a particular faction, which could lead to some heated arguments about who can bring what. If they wanted flexibility they could play around with how the points system works, and take the opportunity to rebalance what's...
