    Tennis

    We got our final: FEDERER, when facing Djokovic, is supposed to avoid long rallies from the back of the court. Well... he did just that. But instead of rushing head first to the net without sense or reason, he threw the occasional serve & volley in there, but he mostly engaged rallies with...

    Dad from 7th Heaven confesses to child molestation

    Is a shrink really supposed to report it if a patient confesses to a crime during a session? I thought it would fall under the patient-doctor confidentiality thing.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The tea scene is in Marrakesh, the boat scenes are in Casablanca (Marrakesh is inland so they got that part right!).

    Dad from 7th Heaven confesses to child molestation

    Secretly recording to gather evidence of a violent crime is apparently legal in California, but secretly recording a therapy session? That's pretty fucked up.

    Styx: Master of Shadows

    I can see how such inconsistencies can be highly frustrating. Let's hope they patch that at some point. Anyone tried the console versions? Do they have the same problem?

    Styx: Master of Shadows

    I have not played the game, but some of the comment point out that a modicum of skill is needed unlike the very assisted movement of an Assassin's Creed. So what is the problem exactly? It's difficult to aim the jumps properly and/or there is zero assistance making it very tedious?

    Tennis

    We have our semis in Shanghai: DJOKOVICbroke early in the first against Ferrer, but then it turned into a battle the whole set through, culminating with an almost 15 minutes long 10th game on the Djokovic serve that the World N?1 finally managed to bag along with the first set. The spaniard...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I liked the episode, but I got to laugh when some agent said Casablanca was in the middle-east... EDIT: Actually it's a Bushism, using the term 'greater middle east' to basically say 'muslim countries'.

    Going to Movies Solo

    I have 20+ movie screens within a 15min walk radius, so the huge majority of the movies I see are impulse-watch. The only guideline is sparing the movies that have date/buddy night potential, unless you don't mind seeing the same movie twice.

    Indie Games

    I just wanted to point out thatEnvironmental Station Alpha, a metroid clone of sorts, is on steam's Greenlight. Check the demo and up vote it if you liked what you played. I was/am one of the beta testers for it and it's a pretty sweet action/exploration game with a healthy dose of content and...

    Tennis

    The ATP 1000 in Shanghai started the other day and it's a seedicide in full effect. Anderson[16] ousted in straight sets by Kukushkin. Dimitrov[10] discarded in straight sets by Benneteau. Nishikori[7] too banged up after two straight tournament wins to resist Sock. Cilic[9] met an...

    Umbrella Revolution - Hong Kong Protests

    The 'funny' part is that we are in 2014 and that democratic system for 2017 is supposed to be a part of the transitional '1 country 2 systems' running from the 1997 retrosession to 2047. That's 20 years of beating around the bush out of a possible 50.

    The male/female double standard pretty much disappears if the female teacher ass-fucks the male student with a broom though.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I can see this Nemesis system having the same kind of impact on game developers as Demon's Souls / Dark Souls (it fells like half the game design pitches I saw in the last few years mentioned those).

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    Rambo 4 was fun in its over-the-top-ness, but Rocky Balboa is a masterpiece, a film that seemingly emerged from a time machine. In fact I ranked it third of the movies I saw in 2007 (first was Lu Ye's Summer Palace, 2nd was Linklater's Fast Food Nation, 4th The Assassination of Jesse James by...

    Jerle Committed Suicide Today

    There was a lot of trolling and prejudice going on in the threads about transsexualism, but there was still a lot of interesting pieces of information and new perspectives, especially for people like me who have almost no queer people in their circle of friends and, as a result, don't get to...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I was not overly amused in MGS3 when you had to wait for 5 minutes for things to go back to normal after being spotted. At first I afk'ed and then it encouraged me to forego sneaking altogether and just run up to the next check points and die.

    The Knick

    My understanding is that the problem is not the C-section in itself, but the fact the placenta is wrongly placed and hemorrhaging so you have to deal with that and the C-section at the same time before the patient bleeds out. But... problem solved!

    What did you just read?

    Just reread a compilation of poetry and short proses by G?rard de Nerval, a french author from the first half of the XIXth century. I had the book since high-school when I worked on some of his poems, but read the short stories for the first time. Several of these short stories are records of...

    Anderson's lone comedy is its worst film by far, but this one looks at the very least reasonably funny.

    Pretty crazy draw in Beijing's ATP 500 this week. We currently have a first round Nadal vs Gasquet and later we will get a Fognini vs Gulbis and a Janowicz vs Murray! Tomic vs Raonic in Tokyo also sounds intriguing.

    The Knick

    In case you were wondering, this is still all kinds of great. I think it's the mix of opposites that works so well in this show. It's a period drama, yet it's filmed with raw energy and with an electronic music score. Most characters are part of the elite, yet it is filled with blood and guts...

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    In a way the change in actors kinda works, because the character also changed. Brolin is the hardened version of Owen.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I wanted to post a screenshot on the video game screenshot thread using the PS4 browser and could not! Boo boo! More seriously, I also find it surprising that you can't manage what ends up in the fast bar. Once I am done with a game, I want to kick it off the shortcut list, but I can't (or at...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Having recently bought a X360 controller to use on PC games, I have no idea why people are enjoying that thing as much as they do. Maybe the wired ones are cheaper than the wireless versions, but the plastic they use for the buttons and the one they use for the sticks make it feel flimsy.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    I read a review that made the nemesis system sound pretty awesome and fresh, because it's very open-worldy (you chose how you go at problems), very emergent-behavioury (there is a wealth of things that are interconnected in obvious and less obvious ways) and it makes sure it does not feel like...

    Sports Figures Who Break The Law

    I find it a bit unsettling that the reaction to 'my employee seem to have some troubles' is 'better fire him quick before he does something stupid' instead of 'let's see what seems to be the problem and if we can help him'.
