And Brazil goes up 1-0 just like that.

I love sushi and sashimi, I don't love how expensive it is. If it was more reasonably priced, I would eat it regularly. As it is, more often than not, on the few occasions I do dine out (I cook the vast majority of the time), I'll generally rather drop a tenner (yes, I am using British slang to mean $10) for a big ol' helping of Jamaican comfort food that will last me the whole day, rather than almost twice that for barely a meal's worth of sushi or sashimi.

Alright, we got a couple hours of break then Brazil/Colombia. Come on Colombia, go go go! I will post Shakira pictures if and when they score, like this one I'd really like to post more Shakira pictures.

To no one's surprise ze Germans dispatch the French. What I did find surprising was how flat footed and lackadaisical France was for the first 25 minutes of the second half. I was watching it and thinking the whole time "Guys, you do know you're down 1-0, right?".

Too bad when you click on it and go to the page it has the correct -75%. If they really wanted to pay me $4 to add that game to my library I would have obliged them.

Ze Germans score! Hummels heads it in off a beautiful ball in off a setpiece.

The best part of that picture is that he's still got the beer in his hand. That's dedication. Yeah but it looks like the can in his hand is open. That's not dedication, it's just dumb. Unless he plans on finishing it once that dirty water gets in. Now THAT would be dedication! That's exactly what I meant.

Off-topic, and certainly not meant to disturb y'all's Indepence Day celebrations but... It really is ironic how that song with the lyrics... "Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said "son if it was up to me" Went down to see my V.A. man He said "son, don't you understand"" ... ended up seen by many as a tribute to the greatness of the USA. Not bashing, just... puzzled. That's precisely what makes it the perfect anthem. It satisfies both the sheeple and those fed up with the bogus crap that goes on in the US of A. So, whether someone's mindlessly 'Murica proud or "damn, ****'s kinda ****ed up" they can both sing the same song. It's perfect.

Today's predictions: Ze Germans over France Colombia over Brazil

Many people consider the album this was off of (Midnight Marauders) to be Tribe's best, not to mention one of the best of all time. I, personally, think The Low End Theory is better, but I won't put up that much of a fight. I miss Tribe.

Never mind those new fangled pretender anthems. Here's THE CLASSIC: And, the back up anthem:

A SSD will make you system and games load faster, but it won't do anything for their performance (framerate). It can reduce loading times, though it you have enough RAM it won't matter, but it won't affect framerates one bit. That said, I've definitely enjoyed the change from 7200 RPM HDD tro SDD. It's not life altering, or anything, but everything loading up faster is nice.

I live in Hartford, Connecticut, I don't have to go anywhere, I get the best fireworks in the state right at home. I'm not even going to bother driving, I'll just make a 15 minute walk to get a better vantage point.

You just summed up all that is right about The United States of America. Breast implants? I'm pretty sure they have those in other countries as well.

More Mario Kart 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn-fBe1Ig90 This game is amazing. I can now safely say it's the best Mario Kart ever made, which is really saying something. Also, Daisy + Sport Bike = Dominance

Standalone, to the best of my knowledge.

Civilization: Beyond Earth will release October 24th.

Looks like the Thunder are going after Pau Gasol. I'm a bit torn on this one. On the one hand, Pau hasn't played any actual defense in several years. On the other hand, offensively, he's a MASSIVE upgrade over Kendrick Perkins (admittedly, pretty much anyone is an upgrade over Perk on the offensive end), plus he could be the main center for the Thunder for a couple of years until they round Steven Adams into form (Adams has tons of potential, but he's still green as ****). If they could motivate him to play some defense once in a while, the tandem of Gasol and Ibaka would be a pretty scary force in the paint.

Cool. 3-4 hours is plenty. The gamepad goes directly back on the charging cradle whenever I'm not using it, so it shouldn't ever be a problem, though it's good to know there are larger capacity batteries available.
