    There is poetic justice in Ginobili shooting these free throws

    Someone other than Duncan needs to step up for the Spurs or they are cooked.

    One of the best defensive sequence for the heat and that results in a three points play by Parker!

    Box office flops that deserve a sequel

    What about Mr. Brooks? I think it kinda tanked, was very good and left room for an interesting sequel. EDIT: Well apparentlyit did ok.

    Mad Men

    They are pissed off because Don both called and then found a solution without telling them about it, a solution that prevents Peggy to get credit for her work. He did the right thing, but in a bad way.

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

    Anecdotal evidence: I went to a FNAC yesterday (a big chain of a cultural products department stores - dvds/blurays, books, video games, electronics, CDs) and they had a couple monitors showing video clips of next gen games (The Division and new Batman when I walked past). The funny thing is...

    Fired for an availability change..

    I think the main mistake here is to not have anticipated that it would be a problem and, as such, should have been presented to the boss with care and, ideally, with a solution (you should have looked for someone who would have been ok to switch schedule with you or something). Silver lining...

    Fitting quote by Seneca in Of Providence: "A gladiator deems it a disgrace to be matched with an inferior, and knows that to win without danger is to win without glory." Though I prefer Corneille's version (my translation): "By vanquishing without peril, one triumphs without glory." PS...

    Playstation 4

    Unlike Microsoft's, Sony's fuckups where well spirited if you will: the console was too expensive and difficult to program, but it was because they wanted to be at the bleeding edge and gambled with the Cell and BluRay. Also, saying 'you'll want to work more to afford one' is what happens when a...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Only in the sense that it is a very secondary character that is well liked and share a similar profession (both for hire, both implying adventures that happened outside the story), but Fett does and says nothing so he really is a blank canvas for the viewer to project their fantasies, while...

    Some notes on Switzerland: Not being in a wheelchair and never having to travel around with someone in a wheelchair, I might be more optimistic than realistic, but I think there are some legal obligations for things to be wheelchair accessible. The range of these obligations, I am not sure...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My favorite character is Bronn. I am not overly worried about him, because he is written as the guy who went through everything, so he is not going to get killed by an old bearded man with a funny hat.

    District 9 also had plot holes so big you could fit the giant spaceship through. Here is to hoping you can't fit the space station through them in Elysium. Should be fun either way though.

    It's not unusual for some third party games to get released before the console needed to play them though.

    I find it odd that the Spurs did not find a way to get a fifth foul on Wade. You can't allow a hot guy with four early fouls to spend that much time on the floor.

    Are there factual comparisons with the PC world now that we have a clearer idea of the specs? Are there even PC motherboards that support that new high speed ram or is it only available for video cards?
