Would you move to CA?

I think the soundtrack and prints are the most reasonable.

I think Portugal play well. They've got a solid defence, nice passing game out to their center midfield and out to their fabulous wingers. Like it or not, Ronaldo's a superb player. At this stage I think he probably needs to improve his decision making. Stepping over the ball a few times before passing it square is silly. The penalty was the right call. Henry landed on Carvalho's footand was off balance so I think it was the right call.

I find her attractive. <_<

If that's the case I think refs and coaches should start discouraging that. The thing I don't like to see is players pretending to need treatment (putting the ball out) if their team's vulnerable to a counter, just to let the players get back into position.

I'm flying with timing the fireworks for the 4th of July too. At least nobody's hurt so far and their long range one was a damp squib.

Diving and exagerations will be around for a long time because the stakes are getting higher. The consequences of not wining are getting huge and the pressure is on the players. Even ones that said how much they hate diving do it themselves when the time comes. On the other hand I don't see it much in friendly games where there's generally not much advantage to be gained. As Cantona eloquently said in the (ironically) Henry Joga Bonito vid, there's honour on the streets.

I think the French will have a hard time against Portugal. Costinha and Deco are back as are their flying wingers (well, jogging for Figo). I think eventually playing games in the space of 3-4 days will catch up with the ageing French squad.

I'm sure it's easier to keep those stereotypes when you block off performances like last night's.

FORZA ITALIA! Who needs penalties when you have Grosso. Not just against the Socceroos(lose?) and now a beauty past Lehman. He was solid in defence too. Odonkor didn't get many chances to put dangerous balls into the penalty box. Cannavaro is just superb and Matterazi too. Respect after getting concussed blocking the shot. Some of the midfield passing was superb. Most of the time the final ball to Toni and Gilardino was a little sloppy and eaily intercepted. Totti went after the ball and jumped out of the challenge, hence the back flip thing. Aikido dudes would be proud of Ballack. Fun times!

A sandwich is fine too.

Cheer up emo kid.

Happy Independence day

Aw, that's very sad to hear. I hope you get better soon.

My best 3 list would be Buffon, Cech and Cassilas.

I'd like to see things go digital, whether it's scanning or swiping cards for transactions. That'd make transactions easier and eliminate the need for physical money (beyond the chip/card).

I think it'd be more rewarding to do Top Ten sessions with devs on the unannounced projects after we know what they are. We can then ask specific questions with the game context in mind and they'll have more freedom in answering the questions.

I think Germany v Italy has extra time written all over it.

A bucket of copper is fine too.

Haha, that's awesome. Obsidian should totally consider making a Vampire set of games that goes through different periods of time.

Ok here's an update. I've been playing my druid4/fighter1 for awhile and while I dig the talking to animals and stuff I'm not really enjoying the character as a whole. While it's awesome having a dire wolf, charmed grizly bear and dire boar mowing through kobolds and gnolls, the druid herself feels more like a fighter type more than a caster. I've got Sleep, Entangle, Magic Fang (what's the deal with this? I can't cast it on my summons) etc but she hardly feels like a caster. Maybe she'll become a more active caster later? Just last night I started a monk/rogue and so far she's more fun though without any summons at all I can see some difficult battles ahead until she's able enough to handle herself.

Lol.

Are monks fun to play? I'm thinking of multiclassing with something like a rogue for sneak attacks or some kind of arcane or divine magic user. Thing is I've heard that they have strict rules on what they can multiclass into.

:'( describes this pic well.

Great to see the French oldies are finishing on a high.
