Pretty low scoring, very few fast offense points, no transition to speak of, paint reasonably well defended, only 2 behind after three quarters... that looks like a game the Nets can win. If they don't, they can blame their terrible free throw shooting.

She was high born... in Essos. Also about the father fixing marriages... it does not seem like the father does much in Tyrell land!

Pretty sure Metal Slug is pixel art through and through. Castle Crasher has a vector graphics aesthetic I don't care much about, but most of the animations are drawn from scratch. A better example of what I don't like would be Shank.

I must say I am not a big fan of this flash-like aesthetic where you vector-draw and animate by sliding chunks of the characters instead of drawing each frame. Still I will support it because of the theme and format.

I bought a PS3 expecting to play The Last Guardian on it... I plan to buy a PS4 so I will not be too pissed off if this becomes PS4 only, but still it's not too cool. That said, at this point, any release would be good. We've been waiting 7 years for this thing.

The whole slave theme is pretty weak because slavery can be a lot of different things and the show gives us very little insight about how the slavery system works in this world. The show just hopes we will see this story with our 21st century eyes and only think slavery = baaaaad. I am not...

They lost the plot in the 3rd quarter and gave up in the 4th, but in the first two quarters it was obvious why the Nets managed to beat the Heat time and time again: they give zero transition points and slow the pace of the game.

Madrid is shaping up to be a strange one. Djokovic is out because of his wrist injury, Federer is by his pregnant wife, Wawrinka just lost to rising star Thiem... Maybe Nadal, who lost last week in Barcelona to Almagro, will get some needed confidence by winning this week? In other news...

Tuco added hidden achievements to the forum and he told Sean that one of them is "turn all your posts into a period" /nod

Especially with The Hound being sweet on Sansa. Something Littlefinger probably does not know.

I like the kung-fu master stance of the bearded guy. Barefoot also helps.

Just read The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend, the prequel of David Gemmell's Legend. The strength of Legend resided in the fact it was the story of a hero well past his prime, a last hurrah of sorts. Chronicles is least interesting as it deals with the youth of the hero, who is instantly...

Last season the Nets lost all their matches against Miami. This season they won them all. They won 3 of their 4 regular season matches by the smallest of margins, but still, it means that should be competitive, unless you subscribe to the theory that Miami has an extra gear they only use in the...

I am a Mourinho fan and I also feel that sport is dynamic narration, so I enjoy Abramovic (sp) in the part of the villain in the shadows.

At the end of the first leg, you had Cech injured, Terry injured, Lampard carded, Mikel carded, Hazard not on the roster and Eto'o not on the roster. For the return game, Terry, Hazard and Eto'o played, but how fit were they? (not a rethorical question, as I have not seen the match)

Between cards and injuries, is this result really unexpected? It was clear after the first leg that Chelsea was in deep trouble for the return game. That being said, has there already been a single city champions' league final? I guess London and Milano could have achieved that?

Yeah that's what I meant, I worded that poorly. He cannot be an antagonist in his lonesome, he would need to find another boss that gives him orders and it's unclear that he would, as, until now, he just followed his mentor around.

I don't think Ward can be an antagonist: he is not making plans, he is executing them.

Not that many deaths by rockets in Houston?

The Washington Monuments? Btw wikipedia tells me the other name on the short list after the vote was The Washington Express and that people were pissed off by Wizards because it's a rank in the KKK.

I saw a while back a couple episodes of a BBC serie called The Lakes about a guy from Liverpool going inland to work in a restaurant or something. I remember vividly the owner despising the people from Liverpool on the ground that when Irish people came to England, the lazy ones stayed in...

@Vaclav: And the barely intelligible 'lol drunk on my cell' posting style. That said: Flower HD. Exploration as a gust of wind with minimal puzzles. Maybe an hour or two to play through but infinite replay as a relaxing tool.

My pleasure! I hope I'll get to see them both for the Davis Cup semi-final, but it's in a long while (september).

The problem with Dany's storyline is that she conveniently fails upward, get allies because of her good looks or have her opponents quickly fall on their sword. This is not very interesting and it is also only allowed to continue because somehow, after an assassin from Westeros failed to kill...

The only thing that matters in the east anyway is that Brooklyn reaches the 2nd round. If they wipe Miami the team should be renamed the Brooklyn Kryptonites.

Very strange match this all swiss final. As often with matches between friends, it felt like the match had difficulty finding its rhythm and intensity. Great shots were followed by lame errors, crazy rallies by boneheaded choices. At this strange game it was Wawrinka who was the most nervous and...

I would strongly recommend Braid (puzzle-platform meta-game) and Everyday Shooter (a brilliant omni-shooter where every stage is very different from the next and has its own logic for survival and scoring).

Chrome killer

The odd thing with that new way is that it requires more operations and more writing than the old way AND it's not even a method that can be used mentally. I don't know about you but to mentally do 53-17, I do 53-7=46 46-10=36 The benefit of the new way maybe is that it brakes down a...

I would like to mentionA Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible. At the beginning it is very ugly and no so great meta-humor about making a webcomic. Rapidly the content becomes very imaginative, weirdly poetic and uniquely powerful. It takes a little bit longer for the art to catch...

High quality first set from both players in the Federer vs Djokovic semi. Federer especially impressed with his movement and his aggressive mind set. Still, it's Djokovic that had the first opportunities late in the set, but Federer stood firm, broke at 5-5 and closed the set. Federer kept his...

Ferrer had a very clear game plan against Nadal and he executed it to perfection. Sadly for him, the plan against Wawrinka today was nothing more than 'let's hope I outlast this guy'. Truth is there is not much of a winning game plan against Wawrinka when he plays well as he can be equally...

These get closer and closer to phishing for identity scam... EDIT: So let's use other people's info. I present to you: Sweet Squirter

If the holidays in north america are synonymous with turkey, around here they are synonymous with foie gras. I realize though that if I very often ate foie gras at home on toasted bread, I never ate foie gras at a restaurant as part of more elaborate recipe. Also never cooked with foie gras at...

I was about to say that in a war you have to pick a side, but than I remembered where I am posting from...

It was also a struggle for Djokovic today after blitzing through his first two matches. The opponent of the day, Garcia-Lopez just won in Casablanca last week-end and downed Berdych on the way to the quarter final. The spaniard played some very consistent baseline tennis with some good...

Federer played a brilliant match against Stepanek, followed for a brilliant match against Rosol (though the underdog had a brilliant super aggressive start and lead early by a break) so it was a bit of a surprise to see a pretty tame Federer today against a surprisingly in form Tsonga...

Monte Carlo's Master 1000 this week: Ferrer is currently leading Nadal by a set and break! A lot of breaks in the first set that lasted an hour an a half and got concluded by a surprisingly one sided tie-break. Ferrer is being very sound tactically and only allows Nadal defensive forehands...

The 'writing as we go' process also leaves some loose ends. Things like Gus' Chilean past or the Germans. There is a whole scene in the German headquarters with a guy killing himself or something and that lead precisely nowhere.
