Pidesco

Now there's a movie you could get inspiration from for AP.

Holland is doing too well in the group stages, to stand any real chance of passing the quarters. They'll be eliminated by a lackluster Russia or Sweden.

Woohoo!

because they're usually so awful that they just seem like wasted development time. Giving you Bastila as a romance option but, no means to skewer her just reeks of bad design, for instance.

I believe they will beat Austria. But if they do, they'll be in second place which would mean that Portugal would face them in the quarters. Disaster!

Unless Germany completely fails to qualify, this is really bad news to Portugal.

49% chance of survival only. I live in a densely packed city, without a gun, and only enough food reserves for a few days. My lack of morals wouldn't be enough to save me. Also, I'd look longingly at my loved one before shooting her in the noggin, which is usually a fatal mistake.

Take cover, point at enemies and shoot?

You want to live in Albania?

I'm on TV. Again.

I hate to say it, but now Portugal is playing like I expected them to. The midfield has completely lost the plot. I'd like to say that it is because the Czech are piling more pressure, and are just better than the Turks, but the fact is that even when they aren't under pressure, Deco, Moutinho, and Petit keep losing the ball and missing passes.

Kohan, which was quite awesome, was critically appreciated, but it was more or less ignored by the gaming populace.

Czech Republic [0] v Portugal [2] Switzerland [0] v Turkey [1] Croatia [0] v Germany [2] Austria [1] v Poland [1] Italy [1] v Romania [0] Holland [1] v France [1] Sweden [0] v Spain [1] Greece [0] v Russia [1]

DO IT!

SVEEEEEERIGEEEEEEEE!

I buckled and joined facebook. Stupid moment of weakness.

Why? Seems like a strange choice for most people with proficiency in English to make. I get where you're coming from but the site's purpose seems to be not one of "me too" in terms of audience, in the sense that there's more to be gained from addressing portuguese readers than trying to be a fledgling site which has no kind of competition with the likes of, say, Kotaku. Also, not everyone has the time to handle both the writing and its translation. Eventually this will happen - in situations where we might interview a developer and have to translate the contents to our readership - but are likely to be few and far between. I love Pidesco all the same. I have a feeling he didn't dwell in answers because we've talked about these themes in the past, and I suspect he would choose them. Actually, it was mostly laziness and lack of time since I'm not at home right now. Anyway, I picked roguelikes, and their influences because I think Diogo can give that a more academic spin which interests me in terms of game writing. As for indie games, because with the internet I think all games will one day be indie games, and as such I beilieve they will one day represent the cutting edge of game design. This means, of course, that I'd be interested in a forward evolutionary perspective of indie games, as opposed to a straight up cataloging of what has been done. P.S.: I'd like to point out that I am a translator.

Hooray!

It's awesome to see Italy get a taste of their own medicine.

Isn't your financee someone who gives you money? Or is it someone who gets your money?

I didn't think Ballack was bad, especially in the first half. And Lahm is, indeed, their most consistent performer.

Germany's left back seemed like their weak link. He was quite awful.

*Indie Games On The Rise - Pretty straightforward title, I guess. *Roguelikes - Retrospective about roguelikes, and their influences. Go for these two.

Still sore about that bit of skulduggery at the world cup ehh Ronaldo winks and he is evil incarnate, Rooney stomps on someone's family jewels, and he is the greatest player ever.

I finally saw the new Indiana Jones. It was great fun with some well directed set pieces.
