Has the potential to be very good or very stupid, but: great cast.

It's something people who were not able to surf did back in the '80s.

I thought it was universally known that 99 was smaller than 100

At least we know where to do a Rerolled get-together.

The first one reminded me of Blackburrow... Pink tinted rear-view mirror etc...

Universally? What if your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband knows and agrees beforehand? Or takes part? You seem to live in a small universe.

If there was a single right way to teach tennis, there would not be such a rich variety of techniques among the top players. I mean I read a book by a french coach who was a pretty mediocre player and brought a club player to the top 100 through breathing, relaxation and body awareness...

I think it's a very important show and one of its problem is that it is aware of its own importance. The whole rom-com aspect is also mostly weak.

I was a bit unclear here: it seemed not as humorous from the promotional material and the reviews I glanced over. I also was at the Games Convention in Germany in 2006 and met the guys of CD Projekt who explained us with a straight face they were about to revolutionize computer RPG and that...

I never played any of the Witcher games, but I recently read the first book. I was surprised because it's the strangest mix of dark fantasy, riff on classic fairy-tales and, last but not least, a very healthy dose of humor (and not only through is bard friend). Somehow the games did not seem to...

I remember seeing it in that James Bond movie and thinking that was over the top and retarded. Reality > fiction and all that jazz...

Sony was devising a similar scheme so they both just handed victory to Valve and Apple!

Most of these exclusives are games published/produced by Sony or Japanese games that were too niche outside Japan to be ported on both HD consoles (note there are a number of small X360 games that are exclusives because Microsoft made it very cheap and easy for small Japanese devs to hop on the...

This movie is nominated for 8 Oscars and that's about 6 too many. I would keep the editing nod (not for the run of the mile dance and traumatic flash-back sequences, but for the compact, almost 'jumpcuty' moments - like when he comes to bring the letter and she is not home) and the best actress...

Cilic kept the croatian hopes alive by beating Seppi and winning his 2nd single point, leaving Italy on the pretty dangerous situation: relying on head case Fognini to win a match. As Dodig clinched the first set, the italian public must have started to doubt the coach's choice, but Fognini...

He used to be a paladin.

The iPhone is a bit of the exception and that may very well be the reason for its success, but the cell phone business model is more based on a flood of new models making it an absolute nightmare for software development, even worse than the PC and their bazillion potential configurations...

I don't know the specifics of testicular cancer, but about urinary bladder cancer the doctor told me that if it spreads the metastasis tend to grow so slowly or with such delay that in most cases patients die of something else before their metastasis become an issue (no such luck for my father)...

I also got Denmark... is that thing made by the danish ministry of tourism or something?

The problem is that pretty soon you will not be able to generate excitement with new hardware on its technical merits. Not only because of the cost of using the resources of the hardware, but because of the diminishing return of power for visual fidelity. There are 4k screens looming in the...

It's the first round of the Davis Cup this week-end. After two days, Serbia beat Belgium, France beat Israel and Argentina beat Germany. This last one is a bit surprising, but Haas was not playing for the germans and Kohlschreiber found himself in a dog fight against the unheralded Berlocq...

From a bean counting perspective, it makes a lot of sense that future generations of console should last longer and longer. Unless the business model massively changes, there are a number of variable that were true in 1985 are true today and will be true in 2030. One of these variable is...

There are several layers with the screaming debate in women's tennis. Let's look at a specific one through this question: Why does Sharapova scream? A part of the answer comes with another question: When doesn't Sharapova scream? Sharapova usually stops screaming at around the tenth shot of a...

My father recently died from an urinary bladder cancer that got treated, but not before it spread to his spine and ribs. Weeks of constant pain, with less and less mobility, more and more difficulty to breath, more and more morphine and without the slightest hope for it to get any better. Pretty...

Where is Westbrook when you need him?

I did not see the match, but it was one way traffic between Djokovic and Ferrer, resulting in a crushing straight set victory in 90 minutes! It was another story between Federer and Murray. The swiss played an ok match, but found himself on the edge of the sword the whole way through as...

You have a semi point. Only semi, because the original Apple II art was that: It has a pretty good "classic movie poster" vibe going on, but there was a DOS version that used this: It actually works not that badly because of the contrast between the stylized background and spikes...

So we have our semi finals and... surprise surprise... the four top seeds went through. In the history of open era tennis, it's a relatively rare event (17ishth time out of 190ish slams), but somehow a lot more common in the past few years! Djokovicwas expected to struggle against Berdych...

I only saw the last few points, so here is a chunk of the post match interview that sheds some light on what happened on court: Serena Williams without her serve and backhand is a much less formidable opponent, but then again, Stephens still had to fight against the aura and will of her idol and...

I had to google Kolibri because I never heard of the game before (for those wondering, it's an exploration/shooter thing made exclusively for the 32X by the people responsible for Ecco the Dolphin where you play a hummingbird) and had to share this youTube comment: "Quite possibly the greatest...

The biggest problem with The Wire is that it makes it impossible to watch 90% of the other cop shows without making an almost inhuman effort of disbelief suspension.

Double post...

How old were you exactly? It was pitiful compared to the arcade and Star Fox, released a year prior, was more impressive. Maybe you were thinking of the 32X Virtua Racing Deluxe? But that was released after The Need for Speed on 3DO so it had a hard time amazing anyone (even the 7 people who...

I think people don't like Azarenka because of the screaming, which is a form of crypto-misogyny. Personally, I am not a huge fan (I love Stosur and all the chinese - Li, Zheng, Peng - or odd players like Martic, Niculescu, Daniilidou, Begu, Date-Krumm...), but you have to respect her work ethic...

We have our quarterfinals: Djokovicstarted poorly against a very solid Wawrinka. The swiss N?2 played well and made things very uncomfortable for the defender who had trouble finding his range (so many uncharacteristic errors) and his footing (the guy was slipping like crazy). As Wawrinka was...

Actually, he would be a shoemaker, as he did a multiple years shoe making apprenticeship in Italy in the late '90s. Yep.

R32 is done! My prognostics were shitty: -Wawrinkawon in straight sets. -FerrercontrolledBaghdatis. -Almagrokept nerves of steel againstJanowicz. -RaonickeptKohlschreiberat arms' length. -SimonvsMonfilsproduced a marathon of a match, but in the end it was not really an...

On the topic of US localization, that one is a pretty good example too. The american cover makes it sound like it's some sort of Charles Bronson vigilante thing, where an upstanding citizen got past boiling point and go clean the streets, but when you see the screenshot, you realize the main...
