Very strange day of ATP tennis today. Two matches could not be concluded but we have the other three R16 matches: NADALplayed a good first set against a useful Mayer, but then things took a turn for the bizarre: Nadal started serving a lot slower than usual and as Mayer competed well, playing...

No surprise today as far as men are concerned. It was 3rd round of the bottom of the draw so we have four of our R16 matches: DJOKOVICunexpectedly played poorly today. He was a bit slipping around on the court for some reason, so could not really execute his aggressive shots and...

There is something deliciously appropriate to double post such a piece of news.

Did Ballmer ever sound sane to you?

The lack of lights is a total mystery for me. They should have lights even if they don't schedule night sessions. The lack of a roof is something they have been wanting to address for years, but it's a very complicated issue that is related to building permits and the space available (or lack of...

What a weird serie.

The first two rounds are done so we reached the phase were the 32 seeds were supposed to meet. Considering only 23 are left, it's not going according to plan! NADALproved too solid for Thiem. The youngster showed some good things but found himself unable to play the right game plan with...

it's a bit like one of these paradoxal zen question, because a gay man would not have sex with a MTF trans in the first place.

The Pacers really made sure it remained thrilling until the end... jeeeeezuz. It's very a mysterious aspect of basketball how from a game to the next in a serie, the story can be totally different.

This serie convinced me that the Heat's MVP is Ray Allen. How many daggers does this guy carry around?

On ATP seed watch, we also lost Dolgopolov (20) to Granollers after the ukrainian lead by two sets... And Youzhny (15) downed by Stepanek in four sets. Djokovic made light work of Chardy and Federer won a short straight set match against qualifier Schwartzman, but I found the swiss not very...

I will take my contrarian cap and say that FFIII is a terrible game, that The World Ends With You is a hodgepodge of 25 confusing and semi-optional game systems with an unhealthy dose of mystico-emo-pop anime trope on top (though it can't be accused of not being an original game) and that Dragon...

My jaded self says they'll revive some franchise we don't really care about. Make it on Vita to add to the 'whatever' factor... so... my guess... Siphon Filter on Vita wuwuwu! (though I am being a bit unfair because the PS1 Siphon Filters had no shortage of badass moments, but it somehow lost...

The WTA seedicide goes on as Larsson beat Pennetta (12th seed), the young slovakian Schmiedlova beat Venus Williams (31st seed) and, last but not least, the young spaniard Muguruza destroyed Serena Williams (1st seed), 6-2 6-2! The world N?1 had trouble serving but also had trouble with the...

The most critical one is the difference in screen technology. There are post-processing effects that exist to give a CRT look to emulatedgameson LCD screens, but, at a fundamental level, it can never look like a CRT.

Seedicide day: Almagro and Haas had to retire (meaning that Nadal's path to the quarter final has no more seed on it), Ace machine Karlovic confirmed his good form (he reached the final of D?sseldorf last week) by ousting Dimitrov in straight sets (and a single tie-break!). Ferrer won...

Mmmmmmmh....

I thought Wawrinka's power could allow him to hit through opponents even in heavy conditions, but it was not really the case today. As Garcia Lopez played a clean match and defended well, a nervous Wawrinka got increasingly frustrated and ended with more than 60 unforced errors: 15 games worth...

So Nadal ended up winning Madrid thanks to Nishikori getting injured and retiring. It really took that to stop the japanese youngster who was leading 6-2 4-2 and giving an anti-Nadal masterclass. Rome ended with a classic Djokovic vs Nadal final that the serb won in 3 sets. Maybe Nadal ran out...

These western conference games are entirely too late for me to watch, especially since I managed to catch a cold in May... So apparently Ibaka being back did the trick?

The biggest wtf is that the scene in the cell with Tyrion was the first scene he shot on his first day on the job! Way to not have an actor friendly planning guys!

Having Costa on the pitch was pretty silly, but the guy who shot on target, immediately surrendering possession, when he had a free kick at the 88th minute is also a genius. I watched the match on french TV with Wenger commenting and he was like: *foul by the Real outside the box* "The Real...

So I was the only one who watched the Champions' League final? A tragedy of monumental proportion for the Athletico, the cursed, the eternal losers. 40 years ago, for their first and only other C1 final, they scored first in overtime only to see their opponents draw mere seconds before the end...

Why should you pay a train ticket if your brother, who is at home, has a pass?

It has the potential to result in some great movies. The main trilogies movies are forced to be these grand epic adventures where the fate of everything and everyone is in the balance. Stand alone movies can be anything. Anything. The brand is the universe, so you don't even have to do the Jabba...

Be an old school chemist and use the molecular scanner you store in your mouth!

Inversely, the production does not want to have to do gymnastics for a guy in a bit part.

Not sure if that's '80s packaging but you get the idea.

The true champions are Switzerland who beat the fake champions Spain fair and square! By the way, how incredibly lame was that that Spain won all four of the knock out matches on the so marvelous score of 1-0?

You're talking about the guy who created his own job in the firm, sensed the wind turning toward TV before anyone else at the company, never got half the respect he deserved and yet still works there!

Play like shit, lead by 2. Ok. Also it will snow tomorrow: Durant missed two free throws in a row.

Games at 8:30 east suck. I wanted to take a nap before it and missed the gameWhat was up with that 10-0 Miami run late in the 4th?

I was about to ask if anyone knew the differences between the PS3 and PS4 versions... but there is no PS3 version! I blame suits!

That does not look like Parasite Eve 2... what else would a PE2 be?

The specifics of the rotations can be argued, but the cold hard fact is that when you claw back from a 15 points deficit in the 2nd quarter to find yourself with a lead with 4 min left in the third, not being able to keep it close until the end is a bit lame.

OKC shoots like crap for most of the quarter, yet it ends with only a three points gap. That's encouraging.

Are you saying you were not 100% Pure Soy back in EQ? A myth crumbles.

I don't hit many boxes in your list of grievances: My 'ancient' consoles work fine. The sound from the custom RGB scart cable out of my Turbo Duo is messed up, but the console also has a headphone jack built in so this took care of that. You sometime have to fight a little with NES or...

Maybe he thinks the Mountain will kill Oberyn in a straight battle. A trial by combat seems like a good way to kill an enemy without having to worry about any kind of additional rancor from his family as the deceased willingly took part in the fight.
