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

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    Tennis

    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...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    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...

    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...

    Tennis

    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.

    Tennis

    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...

    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...

    Mad Men

    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...

    I did not see the matches today Both favorites managed to win in straight sets, Nadal with a bigger margin than Djokovic. As a result we get the blockbuster Nadal vs Djokovic semi that was both hoped and expected when we saw the draw. From all accounts (including Nadal's), the spaniard played...

    Only God Forgives- Ryan Gosling

    My verdict is 'meh'. Refn shoots for super stylish Oedipus-fueled greek tragedy and in the end it is very well shot, very ballsy in how extreme the execution of the concept is, but it is also very very dumb. It's made even more frustrating by the fact you can feel a great movie was almost there...

    It was a strange match, Tsonga started by serving supremely well, Federer no so much, but he dictated play in almost all the rallies or turned defense into attack in them, making the odd unforced error here and there. So already at 2-2 Tsonga felt the pressure after losing a rally behind a...
