From the Hit and Giggle part of Australia's tour: Aaron Finch launches 14 sixes in an innings of 156(nearly breaking the world record for fastest century) and the Aussies win the first 20 over game comfortably

Man, what a crazy finish Liverpool-ManYoo ManCity-Wigan West Brom-Arsenal Aston Villa-Tottenham are amongst the top third round League Cup Matches

Nintendo offers a new entry level 3DS, called the 2DS, that's right, it's a 2D 3DS

New FM's normally come out in late October/early November

Can we bash our teams before we support Seattle instead (bah, the Revs playing in a pointyball stadium with no atmosphere) Seattle had supported lower level soccer pretty well, and the team made a lot of fan-friendly actions that made the fans feel like they were involved with the team (the fans elect the GM, etcetera) Fenerbache hopefully liked losing to Arsenal, as it's the last they'll be playing in Europe till 2015-16, as CAS declined their match-fixing appeal (they are thrown out of this year's Europa League and barred from Europe next season as well)

double post, I thought I had posted here, looked, thought I hadn't posted, then posted and realized I had already posted. I be mad tired yo.

That was a whole bunch of nothing, neh?

Was actually shaping up to be a crackerjack finish, as Australia sportingly declared at 111-6 (23 overs) setting England a goal of 237 from 44 overs, but sadly the game ended four overs early with England 21 runs short and five wickets in hand.

Someone cancel the Serie A season now, Verona's on top (admittedly, with only two games played).. Verona 2-1 AC Milan in their first game back in Serie A.. well done to the gialloblu!

Got it up and running (was not fun mucking about with portfowrwarding.. but we got it to work

have you seen the new Robotech Tactics game they put out?

Picked it up.. probably going to take some doing (open ports etcetera), but if you have voice chat (it's integral for playing) and want to do something (Probably friday or saturday night) let me know)

Yup, England go into Operation Shutdown, finish day 3 at 247-4, behind by 245 runs (but almost definitely will make Australia bat again, which unless something amazing happens means that it'll be a draw) Really negative cricket, a horrible scoring rate of 2.1 an over today for England, but I guess it's what was left to them after Australia beat them up in the first innings.

Looks like barring an england collapse, the final Test is going to end with a fizzle, Australia declare at 492-9, while England have made 32-0 in reply.. the pitch is great for batting, for bowling? Not so much.

13th Age is a lot less fiddly and overdetailed (and created by the folks who did 3E and 4E dnd) http://www.pelgranepress.com/?cat=248 Some interesting things in there, for example, an escalation die that starts at +1 on the second turn and goes up +1 on each turn after that. The escalation die provides a bonus to players rolls, and it can also provide other benefits during a battle for a player (for example, the barbarian rage ability, if the escalation die is at 4+, doesn't use up your use of Rage for the day) It keeps it from devolving into the swing and miss fest that 3.5 can turn into.. It also makes the characters feel a lot more awesome, even at first level (there's only 10 levels, 1-5 is basically adventurer tier, 6-8 is champion tier, 9-10 is Epic Tier), as part of it is that you generate the One Unique Thing about your character, and the character level makes advancing levels a lot more powerful (base weapon damage is +1dX for each level, so a fifth level fighter using a d8 sword rolls 5d8 for damage)

I just got home from Gen Con, ie, Death To Foz's bankaccount, with a tonofRPG's. Currently, I love 13th age, which is like a 3.5/4E D&D that mixes all the good, with none of the bad. It's awesome

Man, that Arsenal player getting kicked in the face was ba-roo-tal!

Agreed. Should be at least a draw.
