Most people that bashed The Decision bashed the TV special itself rather than the move to Miami, I know that's how I felt, still do. I had no problem at all with LeBron fleeing Cleveland for tax-free pastures. The TV special itself, on the other hand, was disgraceful. That's the crux of the LeBron hate movement.

Dis here Greece/Ivory Coast game don got gud.

Video games would be so much better if they had pro wrestling play by play and commentary

In fairness, an imaginary source has informed me that Chiellini has a habit of putting barbecue sauce on his shoulder.

Well, it's not like you got ripped off at that price. It's not a completely horrible game, but it was a disappointment after the original Still Life, which was quite decent.

Still Life 2 is free for the next couple hours on GOG, if anyone is in the market for a piss poor adventure game.

Luis Suarez and Uruguay - Winning matches, one bite at a time.

It's on daily today, if you're still interested.

That's fair. Part of that might be perception. Melo, for whatever reason, exposure, I'm guessing, is still seen as a bigger star than Love, even though, in my opinion, Love is a better player (and younger to boot) at this stage in their respective careers.

LeBron opting out doesn't necessarily mean he's leaving Miami, though it certainly could. I think he can see the handwriting on the wall. Wade is a shadow of his former self. He can still play at a very high level at times, but his body wears down very quickly. Bosh is now past the peak of his prime (though still in the tail end of his prime) and wearing down too, and, to be honest, he was never a superstar, a good player, but not a superstar. Unless all 3 of them restructure and take major pay cuts, Miami doesn't have the cap room to make major changes. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Could LeBron wind up on The Clippers?

Looks like some former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs are about to launch a Kickstarter for a game called Areal. Their official site doesn't have much info yet, apart from some concept art. As someone who holds the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games in the highest of regards, I'll obviously be following this closely.

Oranje vs. El Tri should make for a fun match in the knockout round.

Croatia have now gotten away with multiple obvious handballs, one in the box which should have resulted in a PK. Edit: Mexico scores! Justice has been served. Edit 2: Mexico scores again. That will do it.

If I were Derrick Rose I'd rather have Kevin Love than Carmelo Anthony too. What Chicago would want more than that would be a Derrick Rose with functional knees.

I started building my manor in Falkreath Hold in Skyrim. So far I've just built the entryway and main hall, plus the bare minimum furniture (a double bed, some shelves, a dining table, some chairs, and a fireplace), plus a stable, animal pen (no animals to put in it yet), and a garden outside. Now I have somewhere to dump Lydia. I hope she keeps the place tidy while I'm out there slaying draugers and such. I left her a broom as a hint.

The Oranje strike. Lovely header.

When I heard that I thought that they were blowing it out of proportion. I'm pretty sure they can get investors on board, and they will get more support if they change their subscription plan. But if Nintendo has managed to make terrible decisions and stay afloat so can Crytek too; although that's mostly due to competition being dead. While Nintendo has certainly made some bad decisions, they've also hit some massive home runs. Past runaway successes, like the DS, have given Nintendo quite a healthy cash reserve to fall back upon during hard times. I don't know if Crytek has ever had that type of crazy money making success, or if they'd been smart enough to sock some money away for a rainy day.

Judging by the histories of Steam sales past, I'd say there's a good chance Metro pops up at that same discount on a daily or a flash sale again before this sale is through.

I'm just waiting to buy a plot of land and build a house so I can dump my companions there for storage. Eventually, once I decide to go up to High Hrothgar and unleash the dragons on the world and progress through the main quest and eventually resurrect The Blades, I'll take them all and have them become Blades, that way they're both off my hands and out of my hair, and I can pretend like they're doing something useful, rather than blocking passageways for me.

They didn't lose. It was a draw. The US got a point out of it and are in decent shape in Group G. Germany is in 1st with 4 points and +4 goal differential, they're through almost no matter what. US is in 2nd with 4 points and +1 GD. Ghana is in 3rd with 1 point and -1 GD. Portugal is last with 1 point and -4 GD. The US could lose against Germany and still go through on goal differential depending on how things shake out. A draw or better and they go through no matter what.

I should probably mess with the ini files to see if I can push the draw distance a bit further than the standard menu lets me. I'm sure my card could handle drawing prettier mountains and trees to a further distance.

I bought Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light in a tactical move. Both are on a flash sale right now (for about 10 more minutes). What I really want is the upcoming Metro Redux versions. However, there is a pre-order on the Metro Redux games where you get them half-price if you own the original versions. So, basically, by spending $10 now I save $15 as it would have cost me $25 more to buy both Metro Redux games without owning the originals. Granted, I could have waited another 12 months and gotten the Metro Redux games even cheaper on a Steam sale, but I had every intention of getting them the moment they released.

Still too airbrushed for my tastes. I want to see pores and/or blemishes. Also, I was wrong about the unofficial patches causing stability problems. The unofficial patches are fine, it was the official high res patches clashing with the 2K high res texture mod. Once I dumped the official high res patches everything ran fine again. As an aside, I'm using all my willpower to keep from murdering Lydia in cold blood. She's useful to some degree, but the frequency with which she gets in the way and blocks passageways is insanely irritating. I've also imposed several rules upon myself while playing: 1) No auto-magic fast travel. I'm fine with fast traveling by coach, but none of that open up the map, point at a location, poof I'm there stuff. 2) No running in towns unless I'm doing something time sensitive, or the quest description makes it sound time sensitive. Running down town strrets is for children, not adults. 3) No insta-resting. I sleep in my own bed, at an inn, or I find a bed or bedroll somewhere. 4) I have at least 2 meals a day. I also try to balance my meats, grains, and veggies. An orcish woman needs to eat right to keep her figure. 5) I take my helmet off in towns. I'm not a guard, no need to wear a helmet and get sweaty when in a safe area.

While I agree the vanilla Skyrim faces could stand a bit of an upgrade, I'm not looking to turn all women in the game into airbrushed glamour models, and every face replacer mod I've found so far seems to do just that.

It's a good thing you're not within arms' reach right now.
