I assumed that for a voting process that had a direct link to the vote, they just added an 1px by 1px iframe to the link next to the site's banner, turning every page viewed into a vote attempt. I guess you can refine that to not flood the target with invalid votes and to be a little less...

Note that the amazon covers could very well be the pure result of an error somewhere in the chain as they are compositions and not the scan or picture of an actual object. As for the preorder boxes, they are made by the store. So they know something we don't or they fumbled or, most likely...

Unless you are unsure whether to buy the game or not, why would you watch a stream of someone playing it?

2) is a subset of 1), so, no matter what, 1) should be more likely... but that sounds like the answer a statistician would give...

I submit Araysar's title should be changed to 'goat driver'.

Araysar: if one uses your logic and apply it to the 1,000,000 doors versions, would you still say that the first choice does not matter because you always end up with 1 door picked (unkown) 1 door closed (unkown) 999,998 doors opened (goats) making it a 0.5 chance of winning by...

I did not expect much and still was disappointed! Please don't let this guy write a script by himself ever again. Or direct an action scene for that matter. Nice production design though.

This is based on a french miniature game called Confrontation that was well known for having great art, magnificently sculpted minis and... messy and unbalanced rules that kept changing. It might still be a mess in the video game, but at least the balance issues that came from composing squads...

That sounds like thinly veiled challenge to earn a black belt in google-fu!

What is it I am hearing? The PS4 will not be released in Japan in 2013 because not enough games will be ready and/or localized? Is that a PR response to hide the fact a market they are sure to dominate is not high in their priority list? Anyway, that seems to lessen the chance of seeing many...

That edit was too slow. The NSA had the time to store it.

Cowboy Bebop is not serialized. There is a thin arch that spans the serie, but mostly each episode is it's own story.

Well...

This is a good show, but it's mostly episodic (hustle of the week).

Are you saying Pinkman is dead?

The official reason for a burial at sea is that it has the double advantage of respecting muslim tradition and not leaving a grave site that could become a symbol or a pilgrimage destination.

I was reading some of this thread and it made me think of this:

V Fedor's greatest trick.

I saw most of it. Very impressive athleticism, great fighting spirit (Djokovic winning the 2nd set out of nowhere, Nadal able to stay the course in spite of it) and amazing shot production under extreme duress on both sides. But, for my money, not that much tennis. In a way it is because of a...

Or... call Debra?

'Beware the night, Child of Light' ranks pretty high on the cool-tagline-o-meter.

Glory to Arstotzka!

The Wawrinka vs Djokovic match was all kind of strange. Blame the wind or the nerves, the World N?1 made a poor start and quickly found himself down 6-2 4-2 against a Wawrinka that did not even had to red line his game to get such a commanding lead: some well constructed offensive plays and a...

The job of the fine people at IGN is not to inform, it's to generate page views.

I vividly remember being instantly struck by Autechre's Arch Carrier, because they use a single instrument, playing single notes on a perfectly rigid tempo to do both the base line and the melody.

Obviously it's a comedy act, not a band. Think norwegian Lonely Island. Check the Stonehedge video if you have any doubt:

On ethical grounds, I never buy Chiquita bananas (former United Fruits) or L'Or?al products (a century of close ties with extreme right wing groups).

What is a deep RPG?

We have our semis: Djokovicdropped a set and if Youzhny did not start poorly, it could have been more competitive. vs Wawrinkamanaged to edge past Murray at the end of the first set, and it turned into a launch pad for his confidence. Some massive hitting on both wings, some great offensive...

The first three actually (1 on PS2, 2 and 3 on PS3).

Alpha Protocol is really packed with interesting ideas, but many of them are so poorly implemented the player has to work hard for the game not to break.

I think you mean Antoine Fuqua. It's true the list of notable non-african black directors is pretty short... Steve McQueen (the director, obviously). The one in the Wayans brothers who is the director. 2 generations of Van Peebles... Charles Burnett... yep...

I am currently reading Daniel Abraham's The Long Price Quartet (starting book two of four atm) and it's very much worth my while for the time being. Not much action though, it's more about relations between complex characters in a context of commercial, political and romantic intrigues. EDIT...

That article gives a good sense of how insane the shooting was!

Unless it's a video game review and then 7 is failing.

It's shinny! Anyway, I'll buy mine when a game I really want to play is released. It will probably be for The Witness (my gaming PC is effectively a retro-gaming PC).

We have our quarter finals: [1] Djokovic, as expected, made light work of Granollers. The spaniard resisted during 6 games and then the floodgate opened: 6-3 6-0 6-0. vs [21] Youzhnymanaged to make the most of Hewitt's nerves for whom a quarter final against Djokovic in a Grand Slam would...

I recently played some Chrono Cross (PS1) until I got bored (took 60ish hours still!), completed Hotline Miami (PS3), completed the two available chapters of a strange point and click adventure game called Kentucky Road Zero (Steam - pretty fascinating narrative ideas and some brilliant visual...

Here is a little blog post by Cactus that explains how the AI works:http://dennaton.blogspot.ch/2012/11/...-miami-ai.html

Calling for Soriak: wasn't Cyprus in deep shit because banking represents an inordinate share of its economy, mostly because of wealthy russians using it as a tax haven?
