An electronic store around my parts is doing a one day only 10% discount on all apparatuses (which includes game consoles, but not the games). I noticed that the price of the PS4 is surprisingly competitive in Switzerland, even more so with 10% off (I'll pay it the equivalent of $440, but that's...

Two out of three days of first round matches have been played. The favorites did well, even if Tsonga almost found himself lead two sets to one by Monaco in a tense third set breaker, but the frenchman closed the match in four sets. Wawrinka did not play the cleanest of matches, but did juts...

From a risk perspective, how come bicycles don't have the same terrible reputation as motorcycles? Is it only because it's harder to kill yourself on bicycles and that you mostly drive them in places where others are less likely to drive at speeds that will kill you? PS: And what does AF...

I am not saying the 2014 pictures do not show an all time low, but it muddies the argument to use these 2011 picture where the water is obviously above normal level with all these immersed trees.

So apparently there are even reasons to buy a PS4 when you already have a PS4!

He's not in the 2014 blockbuster remake of the rapture focused Left Behind though. That will star Nick Cage!

There are plenty of other reasons. Even if you have a PS3 and a high end PC there are reasons (though smaller ones).

It's a short film. It's probably called episode 1 because of the way things are stored on crunchyroll. Also I think there are two versions: The 'made at home' one with his wife and him doing the voices and a remastered one using a voice actors.

Pretty sure it's all fake 3D now, because they are getting a lot better at creating it in post prod AND it's cheaper and less cumbersome during the shooting. I missed it, but there was a talk in a festival I was at about how they did it for Edge of Tomorrow (using miniature replicas of the sets...

Heard 10 bars as dressing up for some documentary subject on the radio and got reminded of the genius of Michael Nyman. And he is building many of his tracks on bit and parts of Purcell (Frozen before frozen!)

Why would thousands of birds be in the desert? I doubt migrations cut through the desert too...

You guys saw The Spirit? Maybe the general public is able to understand what happens when Miller directs by his lonesome.

Here? How much water does it take to maintain a gold course in the middle of the desert.... or is the fairway made of tiny cacti?

Can the NSA know about that or is it one of the advantage of the system? Anyway, that's a strange and deliciously vintage hobby (even if the tech evolved), it feels like a pre-internet global village; Chatroulette with a high barrier of entry and without the literal and figurative dicks.

I find it surprising that when a hacker group messes with online video game services, they are not immediately the target of other hackers group because they messed with their gaming! Unless no self respecting hacker admits to having a console or something...

Not being familiar at all with the HAM radio thing (the only thing I know- or think I know - is that you can reach very long distance when the waves bounce on the clouds or something), when you said you were able to 'work' it, I thought you were able to chat with someone there. But are they like...

That could scratch his hitch for a bit indeed!

So how is Alex?

Maybe that is not the case as I have not tried it, but the way people talk about this demo makes me think about a game by Cactus. I don't remember the name of the game, but people were arguing back and forth and people did not seem to agree on how to solve some problems, etc. A mad house. The...

Is there some form of syncopation in some tracks or is it isochronic all the time? bam - babam bam bam or bam bam bam bam? Because the latter sounds boring.

The qualifier that Raonic will play in the first round is Taro Daniel. It's a tall americano-japanese youngster, born in New-York and training in Spain. He played a Davis Cup match against Rosol earlier in the year where he managed to force a fifth set from two sets down! He lost the decider...

I still need to get one of these for the pretty cool Alien vs Predator game that was on it. That and Tempest 2000 are as far as I know they only two games worth playing on the system.

"We have thousands of satisfied talent partners and I want you to be one of them" seems like a silly thing to say to someone who was ignored!

Filming at 360? is one thing (a pretty trivial one too), but how do you record the difference between the two eyes for every position the user can take? That seems straight up impossible, which means you need to fake it with software (probably generating a 3D model of the scene - by picture...

It's that time of the year. It's US OPEN TIME! And the Nadal-less funky draw is now known. Let's do a 8 seeds run down. DJOKOVIC[1] won Wimbledon but has inexplicably played poorly in both Toronto and Cincinnati. But even when he plays poorly, it's probably still hard to beat him in a best of...

I defense of Ronda Rousey (who can obviously defend herself!), Gina Carano had Steven Soderbergh to direct her acting!

Endurance/strength is not built by playing, it built at the gym. Confidence in the injured limb is what you grow back by playing. The problem is that if you play while worrying about your injury, you tend to not be as fluid or to change you technique and posture to preserve the injury, which can...

Neo Geo games had more room for video elements (so bigger sprites or lots of detailed animations) and possibly more colors. The problem though is that it was all short arcade games with infinite credits and that most games were shit (exceptions being the Samurai Spirits/Showdown serie and the...

I was wondering who was that 'visionary film maker' Gabe Ib??ez and he only made one feature film in 2009 and work as an animator on 4... I am not saying he is not good or anything, just that the visionary did not share his vision much up until now.

All I remember about D?j? Vu is getting eaten multiple times by a crocodile in the sewers

How was that possible with TV screens using 60 half images per second? I don't remember horrible interlacing/edge blur on fast horizontal movements in NES and SNES games.

I don't fundamentally disagree, but I think he glances over an important fact: not all aspects of visual fidelity have the same impact and the same clock cycle cost. One can talk about poly count and mapping resolutions and anti-aliasing, but the lightening is what requires the more horse power...

He should hire an academy award nominee for best original scenario of a movie that won the Oscar for best film... That said the movie was not as fun than the second and there is an alarming density of people who can't act (the front runner in that category being Ford, Schwarzenegger and...

Sounds like another reason to watch the show for me!

Don't even joke with that. It would be a modern day version of Bloodball, so it could happen.

Just watched the first two episodes: we'll see how it goes, but I will certainly check the whole season. Could indeed be very very good.

Not all tomatoes are created equal, but a good tomato is great.

Was the weather ok when you were here, because we really had a terrible few months. It's usually not that grey/rainy/cold during the summer months. Pretty depressing stuff really EDIT: I should add that it's cool that you gave some closure to the thread. I wish all the people who start...

I predict a very strange US Open. It seems pretty open considering the number of players that are not at their best. It will be interesting to see if a surprise player can rise up to the occasion (Tsonga, Ferrer and Raonic are the likeliest candidates at this point) and go lift the trophy or if...

So apparently it's possible to play for hours on end:I Just Spent Two Weeks Being A Space Commander
