    It's bizarre, because it's really a common practice for small companies that can't afford floor space to have pseudo-booths near this kind of events. There must be more to this story than this.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    When Theon was "adopted" by the Stark, the Greyjoy people stayed on their islands. As soon as Theon stepped on the Iron Islands, the Greyjoy people reverted back to pillaging the coasts of the North. So holding Theon alive seems like a good bargaining chip (Ramsey being better at torturing than...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    I think it's safe to say that this 3 pts shooting insanity will be difficult to reproduce for the Spurs, but on the bright side for them, this oddity resulted in a lopsided score, not in a close win. You feel like they were still in a very good position would Green and Neal have posted human...

    I don't watch that much basketball, but I checked the finals two years ago and last year and Miami then was scoring a huge number of points on fast breaks / transition but it seems we hardly see any of that this year. I am remembering it wrong or are their opponents now super good at not...

    There is a huge difference between a system that has built-in tools for mandatory DRM and a system where DRM is possible. I seriously doubt all the publishers will hold hands together and decide to all use draconian DRM on the PS4. The thing is anything short of that means anyone implementing...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jamie wanting or not to continue his incestuous relationship with Cersei does not change the fact that he knows she is the only person genuinely worried about his whereabouts, so going straight to her is the logical thing to do.

    There is something I find terrifying on that UI video: isn't he typing and navigating using motion control? For the sake of my sanity, I'll assume it can be switched off.

    I don't have a PC able to run anything other than quirky indie games at this point and I don't plan to upgrade any time soon. With its price point and a couple games that interest me (The Witness), I might buy the PS4 at launch, something I have not done since... damn... the Dreamcast?

    The bad part with voice command / gesture is that it's a worse interface than buttons. The bad part with Kinect is that brilliant minds tried for more than a decade to make good camera based games and they all failed. Bad features are not features at all.

    1) I don't play sports games, but I am pretty sure there have been some soccer games that do have the option to simulate and to fault intentionally (at the risk of getting carded by the ref'). 2) Could it be that the screenshot with the Backspace key prompt was running on a Xbone build, but...

    That part was for Jorah Mormont, Barristan Selmy and Daario Naharis. Pants on fire retarded was for magicians who put their face in the mouth of dragons and great slave traders that give their army away for a wild animal. Also, it's nice how people on that side of the sea don't hold...

    Fun facts: - By reaching the final, Ferrer leap-froged past Nadal in the ranking (Only a matter of time for Nadal as he is ranked 5 in the world with only 4 months worth of events). - Haas, god among men, is now ranked 11. He will possibly lose some points this week in Halle (defending...

    The problem is more in the manner in which she wins: by stumbling upon people who swear blind devotion to her and by facing pants on fire retarded antagonists. I guess now the main plot becomes the formation of an alliance when everyone hates everyone else's guts. At this rate though Danny...

    Tennis

    I agree we did not see nearly enough good inside-out forehands by Ferrer. He oddly played a lot of inside-in forehands at the beginning of the match which did not help his cause much, because when they were weak and/or short, Nadal played an aggressive backhand cross court for a winner or for...

    Ferrer had to play very well to stand a chance today and he played an ok match. That was no enough. It's a bit disappointing, because Nadal did not play a particularly good match either and we saw here and there that Ferrer had the right tactical idea (always looking to step into the court after...

    Several players have their papers in Monaco, but that's purely for fiscal reasons (no income tax in Monaco). As for the formation of the players, it's an interesting question, but in this day and age I doubt that would boost the USA that much. On the ATP you could add Nishikori and Haas...

    Out of that poll I also gather there are more people that own a X360 than people that don't? Seems odd to me, unless PC gamers don't use gamefaqs. They have some other fun polls in there about various topics: Almost half the people lend games (now & then 35%, all the time 14%). Almost...

    I have no idea how all these free agent, draft picks or salary cap shenanigans work, but should James leave the Heat, could he end up at the Thunder? That would be worth a laugh or two and a ring or three.

    The US had four female players in the round of 16, the most of any nation! One was obviously Serena, another was Mattek-Sands who can play really well but who, at 28, is not exactly the future. The future is Jamie Hampton who is on the rise and Sloane Stephens who is a top 20 player already! You...

    Tennis

    Djokovic vs Nadal: At the very beginning of the match, it felt like Djokovic was in for the kill. He won the first five points very convincingly and it took a very resilient Nadal to win his first service game without facing a break point. Then, as the set went on, Nadal won his service games...

    Suicide and murder are two different beasts. In a show like Mad Men, if characters start to kill each others, it's shark jumping, and if some out of nowhere nobody kills a character, it's lame. Now, great writing can make just about anything work (after all, Peggy almost killed Abe, but the thin...

    I wanted to add that by reaching the semi final the other day, Djokovic brought his grand slam semi-final streak to 12. For perspective, Laver and Lendl are tied at the 3rd spot with 10 and Federer leads with a mind boggling 23.

    In the past, Serena has been world N?1 without knowing how to play tennis. And now she knows how to play tennis. I don't expect her to lose more than 5 matches a year if she stays healthy and focused on the sport. So far in 2013 she is at 43 wins for 2 losses. As far wta matches having big...
