I suppose Ubisoft does not show the best games of all press conferences of E3 but they definitely so far have done by far the most entertaining show.

I was thinking of Jonathan Frakes 20 years ago.

I would never wear a shirt saying "Classical Trained" if I wore a jacket as well that could potentially hide the "Cl".

If I never see another trailer for a game about fighting zombies it will be too soon.

Did they put the half room full with Microsoft employees?

Some cutscenes and no gameplay?

"Today there are 2.6 billion gamers on the world." - Well, it's not as bad as "there are 120 million WWE fans in the USA, but still.

English football fans are on a 1998-Marseille-memorial-festival, second night with violence including England supporters.

It took me 45 minutes to watch the whole thing because I had to rewind half of the scenes because I was laughing too hard halfway through to hear the jokes at the end. Selina: "That doesn't look like Santa." Kent (I think): "The White House officially celebrates Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Mawlid al-Nabi, the alleged birth date of the prophet Muhammad." Selina: "Well, I suppose putting a few pictures up of Muhammad never hurt anyone." Mike: "Ma'am, I'm getting a lot of press interest about Catherine and, you know, her condition." Selina: "What? She's a lesbian, Mike. She's not a werewolf. Although either one would explain why she never shaves her legs."

I watch it as well. What's worse than the show feeling like a Russo-nightmare (dream?) is that the characters seem to live in both time-layers (I could not think of a better term) in parallel without knowing what happened in between. Therefore the alliances are shifting in a non-sensical (I am currently catching up and was watching a show where Ryan started out as the bad guy both in the "6 months ago" layer and in the present layer and ended up as a good guy in boths).

And still it would only be a 0.2 on the Malcolm Tucker scale.

Veep took the lead yesterday against Silicon Valley with classics like: The Eagle: "I want you to get me on the horn with Ned Mitchell from the "Las Vegas Gazette" and Susan Bailey with the "Reno Star."" Jonah (20 minutes later): "Ned Mitchell died in 2006. And the "Las Vegas Gazette" stopped publishing in 2007. I was able to get in touch with Susan Bailey at the "Reno Star", which is not a newspaper, it's a legal brothel. But she did seem excited to help the campaign in whichever way she could." Selina: "What if he takes a shit on the table or something?" Ben: "Ma'am, at his age, if he can take a shit whenever he wants, that's a major victory." Amy: "You sold your dick for bulk iced tea and off-brand cough syrup." Selina: "All right, Amy, this meeting cannot make it past the School Book Depository." Amy: "I'm loading my gun and heading to the sixth floor." Baird: "We just heard a lovely story about the Queen of England." Selina: "She's a fucking cunt." Any of course the evergreen "Tell Jonah to shut the fuck up." - "Shut the fuck up."

Seldom has a fighter needed to retire as much as Bigfoot Silva needs to.

On Sunday Silicon Valley equalized in this year's version of the duel for best comedy show against Veep (with Veep winning the opener last week quite handily).

How is drug testing handled for fighters not living in the US? Do they have a contract with other NADAs?
-
if he knows how to beat a drug test Them sending out the Polish (or Serbo-Croatian?) translator out to help with the Ngannou interview was good times.

Same here. I read The Name of the Rose back when I was in high school. The movie about the book is fine, but the book really makes the clash between medieval church and early Renaissance feel so tangible. A couple of years ago I tried to read Foucault's Pendulum during a summer vacation (38° C are probably not the best conditions to read such a book) and quit after a couple of pages. I guess I will give it another try in the near future.

My favorite was the "newscasters using entirely the wrong tone" segment.

I have been called asshole in real life after a chess game at least once and I have witnessed multiple times people almost going for a fist fight in chess tournaments. It's not FPS or the internet that brings out the worst in people, any sort of competition does that. In the end humans are just animals with less concern (depending on where they are living) about their next meal.

I remember playing EWD in 2001 which was also DOS based (apparently written in Turbo Pascal). A development guy called "American Dragon" turned out to be an absolute superstar in my game.

I thought the episode while being fun (and funny) it was rather... I don't know... too silly? Too meta? Too high concept? Too Inception?

I am splitting my Christmas-vacation-game time playing two very different RPGs: Diablo III (PC, fun game so far, though I cannot image how people put hundreds of hours playing it) and Ni No Kuni (PS3, I had this game lying around for more than a year without ever playing it; so far - I have only played it for 4 hours or so - I would say the game mechanics are great, what a pitty that Square has not made a FF game which such fun mechanics in 15 years or so, the artwork looks great, though I should mention that the cut between anime style low framerates during the cutscenes and the normal framerates during normal gameplay is a bit dizzying).

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Reactions - SPOILERS HERE ONLY
Robert S replied to goodhelmet's topic in MOVIES & TV
I am just returning home from cinema. I went there as part of a small department team event (after a round of bowling and dinner - all paid for by my company). I would say that this is the best Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back. It's a pretty thin on the story side though the whole action flows well enough that this hardly matters. Some nitpickings: - They shouldn't have had Harrison Ford run, he looks really embarrassing doing so. - The goal in the end for the rebels is to destroy just another death star. - Adam Driver (without mask) does not look like the menacing evil he is trying to portray. That scene with Harrison Ford did not work at all. - Too much stupid droid humor. -
You know that you've got a good draw if the press in all four countries is celebrating. This happened in group F (Portugal, Austria, Iceland & Hungary). I am sure I will hear & read the following old joke a hundred times until next summer: "What's on?" - "Football european championship." - "Who is playing?" - "Austria - Hungary." - "Against who?"
