The storyline aspect of it is great and the Draug fight is a piece of cake once you know what to do. My problem with it, and this happens in a few other games too and I hate it equally as much in those games, is that for most of that sequence you no longer control Geralt, you control some soldier or other. So all those skills I developed for my version of Geralt mean nothing. I'm not a fan of games pulling you out of the role you're playing and putting you into someone else's body, particularly if it's a combat section.

The Spurs are pouring it on and the Heat have no answer. Miami's reign as champions is coming to an end tonight.

I got through the lift the curse section of TW2. It took me 2 tries to defeat the Draug. It had been so long I had forgotten the strategy. Once I remembered the strategy, the battle was childishly easy. Only the Battle of Vergen remains, which is a piece of cake, before I get to Chapter 3.

I'm still undecided whether Bosnia is actually pretty decent or Argentina is rather crappy. Outside of Messi's splendid goal, Argentina was mostly outmatched. Argentina opened up a bit after the Messi goal, but Bosnia still controlled most of the game even after that.

What sort of madman would shave off Geralt's glorious beard?

Hopefully they'll bring the barber from TW2 back. I like my Geralt with the TW1 loose hairstyle.

That would really suck in Bosnia winds up losing because of an own goal. They've been playing quite solidly so far.

I'm about 80% of the way through Chapter 2 in The Witcher 2. The next part, lifting the curse, is my most disliked part in the entire game, but I can't avoid it, so hopefully I get it done promptly in one try.

Palacios with a well deserved red card and France goes up on the penalty kick.

Pogba is lucky to get a yellow. By the letter of the law he should have been red carded.

The Witcher 2

Nothing to see here, move along. Nothing weird going on whatsoever.

What a crazy finish. Ecuador had a golden chance on one end, but the guy tried to get too cute with it, then Switzerland countered and put in the winner with 30 seconds left. That was awesome!

Switzerland! In the final moments! Hooooooly ****!

Ecuador scored early but Switzerland has thoroughly dominated since then. Ecuador will be lucky if they escape with a point here, especially since Switzerland had a goal disallowed (which would have put them up 2-1) on a bad offsides call.

Got the few Tex Murphy games I didn't already have for nostalgia reasons. I now own every Tex Murphy game digitally (I had the discs of the older ones in the past), so I may have to do a Tex-a-thon one of these days concluding with another playthrough of Tesla Effect.

I guess you have to be a military nut to understand that sort of anal retentiveness. While I'm not a military nut myself, I do get anal retentive about some other things, so fair enough, to each their own.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't play Far Cry games for realism.

Japan led for a long time, but Ivory Coast's superior talent took over in the second half and in the end we got the predicted result.

I visited my folks for Father's Day (I'm aware it's technically tomorrow, but close enough). I don't get fancy with Mother's Day or Father's Day gifts. Mom gets flowers, dad gets a bottle of liquor, Maker's Mark, in this case. We drank a couple whiskey and cokes, not too much for me, since I had to drive later, smoked cigars, watched some football, and grilled up some burgers and veggies. Good times.

It is indeed. I suspect it would be extremely well suited to turn-based strategy also.

Gooooooooooooooooooool Japan! Quality strike.

Antichamber is fretting freakin' trippy.

One last game tonight. Go Nippon!

Good game between Italy and England. Also, LOL Uruguay. What a piss poor performance from them.
