Isn't The Witness a launch title?

Miami Herald stole my fire because I was about to say the trailers looked like a mix of Watchmen and Tree of Life while the movie was a mix of Avatar and Transformers. To be fair, there are bits and pieces that are pretty awesome, chiefly the flying fight between Zod and Kal-El (but also a...

Some commodities happen to have an impact on society...

Well it was super windy in Eastbourne and Vesnina handled the condition a little better and played the important points better, so Hampton lost on an unflattering scoreline. Oh well... Mahut won the title against Wawrinka in the Netherland. First career title at 31, first final since 2003 or...

They were released on Sega Saturn too and it was so 2D intensive that you had to have a video memory extension cartridge to play!

A single note on the WTA: Jamie Hampton is awesome. I saw some bits and pieces of some of her matches at the French and it made me want to see more and boy I was not disappointed. She is playing in Eastbourne at the moment and reached the final after going through the qualifications. On her...

WIMBLEDON The super short grass season is reaching its climax: time for the all england lawn. Murray prevailed at the Queen's over defending champion Cilic (a tournament where Hewitt reminded everyone that beating him on grass is no walk in the park as he ousted Dimitrov and Del Potro)...

Nah... you can't sell a machine based on a set of requirements and then suddenly totally change these requirements after selling a bunch of them. It would lead to a class action.

At least it was not the blow out that was feared, but Duncan will be haunted all his life by this missed layup, unless he somehow finds his way to another final and win it.

It's a strange game of dare.

I like Diaw on the floor. More Diaw!

More like 6 feet under in this game.

The Spurs are on thin ice though. They need someone to start making some shots because right now they stay afloat by drawing fouls.

I must say I am not a big fan of the Bruce Lee movies, so I was trying to find a good example of a great martial art movie from Hong Kong that is older than Bloodsports. Truth be told, a lot of the classics by Chang Cheh are very campy after all these years and even John Woo's homage to his...

Knightley's performances for Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina) are just stunning. I was a little less convinced but still very impressed by her performance in Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method (the grimacing was a bit much for me, but it produced a feeling of unease that...

That's one baaaaad example right there considering there are hundreds of CD-RomRom games. So the games were made, but just not published in the US.

I only saw Emma Watson in The Bling Ring (oh and in a two lines part in My Week with Marilyn) and I was not overly impressed by her acting (that's an euphemism, but the nature of her character and/or Coppola's direction might be to blame).

You would be right if the device was only a camera plugged to the internet, but it's a camera plugged to a processing unit that ships with algorithms to identify people, vectorize their limbs, detect their heart rate and decipher their speech (among other things). It's a bit too much for...

Well... you can fight the NSA with a multi-plug.

I just played Thomas Was Alone, a minimalist platformer with a somewhat amusing narrative slapped on top. The core gameplay idea here is that you get to control different characters that have different abilities and shape and they need to help each other out to go through the levels. It was...

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I think people realize a $100 isn't a huge deal when you consider the lifespan of a console. That being said, you still need a strong argument as to why there is a price difference. The problem here for Microsoft is two fold: 1) the core feature is weaker than its competition 2) some secondary...

Does the X180 allow you to play when the Kinect is facing a wall though?

I understand why they did it. What I don't understand is how their initial DRM plan could have been devised without realizing beforehand that it would lead to an epic catastrophe. It's not like the reception was not as good as expected: they got demolished. So any kind of survey / focus group /...

Comparing totals when the people involved did not play the same number of games is indeed a "different way" to use stats. At best it's the wrong way, at worst the dishonest way.

I must say I am surprised about the 180. I found their (now defunct) DRM policies to be extremely stupid, offensive even, but I assumed they knew something we didn't know. I assumed they did some marketing research and that it showed the DRM policies did not hinder the mass appeal of the...

An adjustment to previously posted chart for it to make mathematical sense (sorting by field goal per game instead of by field goal total):

In all fairness, James also had at least three super bad plays at the end of the 4th, two resulting in turn overs and one resulting in a Bosh rebound for the Allen three. If Bosh and Allen did not send the game into overtime, suddenly James would be the guy who hero-balled his way to defeat...

He scored a couple tough baskets in the 4th. Only Parker and Leonard can also say that (but his lack of good defense hurt). As for Ginobili, he still managed to find his way to the free throw line several times late in the game. The problem really is that once they started double teaming...

It will be tough for game 7 to be more thrilling that game 6... I fear a Spurs meltdown.

Duncan stuck at 30 for 956976 minutes now...

If the Heat win tonight and game seven, Leonard will not sleep for a week over that missed free throw.

There is poetic justice in Ginobili shooting these free throws

WTF Parker??? Fade away long three, steal, fast 2 pts... Someone showed up for money time!

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!

Ginobili+Green+Parker = 2 pts yet the spurs trail only by 2!

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

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.
