Araxen faster than Tad on that one.

When I read this facebook buy occulus rift thing I was 100% sure it was an april's fool joke published early for effect, but it does seem legit. First known effect: No more Minecraft for Occulus Rift.

Top seeds all won in the top half, so we have our round of 16: Nadal vs Fognini: the italian almost rolled over his ankle at the start of his match. While hot, it did not bother him, but it might be a problem tomorrow. Raonic vs Becker: tennis will lose once again. Wawrinka vs...

I win by playing just the once!

That's very intriguing... the idea is a great one. Sadly I don't think my old machine can run it :/

On that space sci-fi topic, any one of you ever read some of Iain M. Banks books fromThe Culture serie? Or some John Varley? I enjoyed The Golden Globe by Varley but I understand that a space-comedy centered on a Shakespearean actor on the run across the solar system might not be representative...

My opinion is that anything artificially designed to be collected is not worth collecting.

The bottom half of the draw played today. Federer, Gasquet, Ferrer, Murray and surprisingly Robredo cruised through to join Djokovic in the round of 16. Tsonga found himself a set down and 5-1 down in the breaker of the second against Baghdatis, but help by some serious brain cramping from his...

This topic makes me realize I don't really have a favorite sport team. I am a fan of some players, of some coaches, so if they move around so does my support. National teams are a bit different: some great runs or valiant efforts in the past ensure my support. I'll always cheer for the South...

MIAMI! Ferrer is back, Del Potro is not (left wrist still bothering him), Haas also has shoulder problems (let's hope it will get sorted sooner rather than later so he can at least play the grass season). The draw after two rounds (R64): Nadal vs Istomin: Nadal, as per usual, made light...

My criteria for 'A list' would be: does someone who does not care about comics at all knows the character? With a very scientific sample size (me), Hawkeye, Black Widow, Guardians of the Galaxy are indeed not A list as I never ever heard of those before they hit the big screen (or, in the case...

Not a very good movie, but still a very interesting movie for the way it fits with the first one (since some of the events are simultaneous) and for its double links to 'history' (as told by Herodotus) and contemporary problematics.

They should also bring back this: If they can spatially match the image with the controller and track the arms, that would be pretty immersive.

Considering it uses the PS camera to track movements it might actually be pretty long.

Wireless adds latency, latency adds nausea.

These days I have been playing a 2D puzzle-platformer called Vessel (available on Steam since 2012 and PS3 just now, X360 TBA). The puzzles are based around fluids (water, lava, steam and some goo) and little creatures made out of these fluids that have basic behaviors (move toward the...

The PS4 should, in theory, be able to do that using Morpheus + Move + PS Camera (see through the eyes of a character, manipulate an object - sword, gun, racket, control the whole body). In practice, I am not sure what kind of processing power is needed for Head tracking + Move tracking + Body...

One of the least dominant performance to ever result in a 3-0! In the end, result > quality, as you live to fight another day, but this type of performances shouldn't allow them to go through the next round.

I must confess I am not much of a mountain guy and I have never went to this area. The best I can do is provide some no-non-sense advice like: wear good shoes, take some food and drink with you, wear sunscreen, remember it can get cold if you go too far up, have a map, follow the yellow markings...

A number of significant technical challenges may be about to be overcome, but my feeling, since the '90s, is that the main problems are not technological, but of usability and of game design. By its very nature, by the very goal it tries to achieve, it is condemned to be a niche, a temporary...

It would be more amusing if they were the driving force behind the project and not puppets put in front of some studio musicians by a clever producer. A counter-example would be the french industrial duo Carbon Airways. I am not a big fan and english pseudo-rapping by a 14 year old french boy is...

It has its moments, but it's about an hour too long and the meta level feels like a cop-out or even cowardice (scared to tell an actual story) more than anything. Even the poisonous beauty of Roxanne Mesquida cannot save it! Best part of the movie, this track: PS: One of the earliest...

This thread is not very lighthearted all of a sudden! And to help sike navigate the Andersonverse, it should be said that I can't think of another movie of his that maintain such a frantic pace from start to finish. The closest are probably some parts of Moonrise Kingdom (also the closest...

Hoss is like the ideal wingman.

Is maturation the autocorrect for masturbation?

I had a buddy in high school who could do that with his hands on the ground, but again he was a gymnast who was about as wide as he was tall.

To my knowledge the movie was not released in theaters in Switzerland. As a big fan of Gore Verbinski I should check it sooner rather than later!

Joke put aside, it's very unlikely the PS4 will see its price drop in the near future, so unless you factor in inflation and banking interests, buying it now or buying it later does not make a difference.

I am still not sure if this movie is brilliantly awful or awfully brilliant but there is nothing quite like it! Cage's character hurt his back at the beginning of the movie and he takes an increasing amount of drugs and alcohol to try and dull the pain and as he does the movie becomes crazier...

Well... I am not a professor and I have never seen The King's Speech. To add insult to injury only one of us put it in his top 20 for the year (at 18th) and that's the guy who sees 25 eligible movies a year! To add blasphemy to insult and injury, Immortals and The Beaver were in my top 20 that...

I checked our annual top 20 for the past 9 years: A little more than 13 english language movies in average (it's even around 10 for me who has the most eclectic taste of the bunch) and 6 out of the 9 winners (The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada - which made us change our voting system! - The...

Someone did not read the thread's title!

Final report. Very strange match. It started with an energized Federer and a jaded Djokovic. The swiss rushed to a 3-0 lead was close to get a double break, did not have a break point to defend and closed the set 6-3. Djokovic served a lot better in the second, without necessarily playing a...

The PS4 version of Diablo 3 will include the Reaper of Souls extention which is released on the 25th so.... estimated date of release for the PS4: not before the 25th!

At the moment, you have a selection of some ok exclusives and the best console version of multiplatform games. inFamous Second Son (out on the 21st) is supposed to be the first ok+ exclusive for PS4. As for 'good RPG type shit'... Child of Light (multiplat pseudo-indie) in April? Dragon Age...

I did. My assumption was that even if they don't count for the ranking they are not played as friendlies and the winner still scores psychological points. If Miami is to face Brookyln in the play-off, they will not consider them as the team they lost to three times in the season, they will...

Saturday report: I saw nothing today (I blame PnPRPG), but apparently Dolgopolov helped Federer by making a lot of errors and Isner scared Djokovic by forcing a third set, but could not keep his momentum in it. So yeah:Federer vs Djokovicfinal. There will be blood! Federer clearly arrives as...

At this rate the playoffs in the east will be entertaining: Miami vs Brooklyn: 0-5 vs Chicago: 2-2 vs Washington: 2-2 vs Indiana: 1-1 The Heat fans can take comfort in: Miami vs Charlotte: 5-0 vs Atlanta: 3-1 vs Toronto: 3-0 vs New York: 2-1 vs Cleveland: 2-0 And maybe...
