lol maxwell.
That's worth a million.
Benefit of the doubt isn't in the rules, but then again neither is getting out for caught behind when the ball wasn't hit.
Also, just to make point on how absurd the DRS has become. It was originally introduced in order to prevent howlers. Now it is introducing them.

That is a great argument you got there you know! BCCI worthy.

Farkkkkkkkkk was hoping for 6 from 6!
Maxwell has had a rollercoaster of a game. Golden duck, first 2 overs smashed, 8th over goes for 4 6's off first 4 balls but still gets 4 wickets!
Also DRS states that a decision can only be overturned on conclusive evidence.

I'll re-post my added comments above: UDRS was meant to prevent howlers from being made. Now it is actively introducing them (see the Sri Lankan incident you referred to, and now today's fake wicket).
It's ruining the game more than bad decisions ever did, and most UDRS decisions tend to be the lineball umpire's call type. I'd have to support the BCCIs stance as of right now. Reviews are such a farce.

How many howlers has it introduced? It overturned a howler in the exact same over it created one the next ball lol
The first wasn't a howler, it was an understandable lineball decision. As far as this summer goes there was one in the Sri Lankan test series. Omi remembers it, I remember being shocked by it when it happened but not the details.
OT needs to fix the member's spreadsheet link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApArWm14XftAdFFnbG5WOVhUQ21oU3ViNS12bVhabEE&hl=en
That first one was pretty obviously out. In that case I would rather the third ump quickly relay to the on field "hey that was out." Second one wasn't possible to tell on the ground and took ages for the dude to decide and he was arguably wrong. In that case the third ump wont be relaying a reverse of the decision.
Looking at that spreadsheet brings me back memories. It's incredible that I've been here since 2009.

I had no idea what the fuck I was looking at, so I googled VTA225260 and it showed this GAF post referring to Brütal Legend seemingly appearing on Steam. Apparently it previously showed up the regular name.
I guess that means I won't have to unwrap my unplayed 360 copy.
Oh shit, I could've sworn I saw on that page somewhere it actually mentioned Brutal Legend. Perhaps it was removed or renamed by Valve after someone discovered it or something?
Either way, Brutal Legend on PC. Not bad.
Edit: Yeah, that entry's been changed. I distinctly remember the updated date being the 2nd of Feb when I first saw it. They've wisened up and removed the name!

I think I already suggested this and he had no time for us...
The new one, the 2.5D one, is Worms Revolution. Worms Reloaded was a return to 2D after the 3D games from 2010.
Why aren't you asking the Wii U owners? In that, you get menu navigation, power-up selection, character selection and other things.

That sounds so romantic! I don't know where to go... I really like Tokyo's big city atmosphere, but I'd also like to try some place new. I think we've got programs in tokyo, kyoto, kobe and kitakyushu, and they all look awesome.
only downside I can see to that is crazy inaka accents and either not being able to understand or ending up with the accent too. Actually that sounds kinda cool. So if you apply this year you'll hopefully go next year?
Yeah, you do the Nov/Oct application for a June/July year start I believe

Thanks for the replies guys. So Ninja Gaiden uses it well? Does it allow you to control a crosshair with more accuracy than you'd get from the sticks? That actually sounds kind of promising.
The rumours talk about it having the same touchpad tech as the Vita, i.e. not a display like the WiiU. They're a bit vague but it sounds much like the control surface used in the DualShock 3 clip-on keyboard as well.
EDIT: This is one of the GAF mockups, it might help illustrate my point a bit better:
Ah, yeah, making it clear you're meaning the rear touchpad only and not the touchscreen is important. My entire experience with that is random sweeps that are only really good for picking a direction. Sort of like Wiimote swings prior to Wiimotion Plus but on a screen rather than moving the whole controller. I suppose there's also rubbing stuff, but that's just akin to waggle. In Uncharted: Golden Abyss, I mostly used the controls rather than the rear touchpad stuff for pretty much everything that used it.

LBP vita uses touch pretty ok. better than most of the other games at least. I use the back touch for scrolling when on the net aswell and it works fine.
I hope whatever the touch interface is is for OS/Menu?Browser and not games (unless they are touch only games like mobile ports/minigames)
The rear touch is actually pretty precise, again Ill mention lbp here
lol yeah, you'd kinda wanna come back from working in japan with a nice hyoujungo/tokyo hougen than some random accent.
though the plus of having an accent is that locals may find it cute, or so i've heard!
Well, that one specific action uses it well lol. Other than that the game just plays like the original. You pretty much tap the touchscreen to bring up first person mode and then touch where you want the arrow to shoot. It's way faster than using the analogue sticks and in that game a few seconds is the difference between getting away safely or getting an arrow/rocket to the face! Made a few of those annoying arrow sections much better.
I can't think of many other games that use the touchscreen well though (other than touchscreen only games like DJMAX).
Looking into teaching in Japan this year. Too late for the JET program so I guess I'll have to look into eikaiwas. Not sure if I'll be cut out for it being an introvert, even though teaching in Japan may not be that involved. Perhaps I'll do a TESOL cert first and see how it goes.
Holy.

I didn't realize the Super Bowl was happening today.
Also, if games journalism really hates GAF so much I don't know why they want to give the site more attention, and more opportunities for the assholes to get off on thinking people are listening to them. I actually think Pachter is spot on about the 2:1 asshole ratio on this site lol.

Shit. It's the main active thread now, can post links due to not being on Wii

I would argue most forums, Reddit, 4chan, YouTube comments would be at least 5:1 lol

Some of you guys have a Nokia Lumia right? Free Sonic Cd and Super Monkey Ball for youuuu! I should get one for the cheevos shouldn't I
Hitman Absolution is $16 for a Steamkey at GMG, which seems cheap?
Also Ticket to Ride is free on iPhone.

Picked up the Lumia games.
Was Absolution any good? It doesn't look that bad in the trailer, and I might as well pick it up for that price. But I don't want to buy it then regret it. :|

Did you like Blood Money? Would you like to play a sequel to that game? Or would you like to play a SC Conviction type refurbishment?

Once I graduate I'm looking at applying for TALK or EPIK, if you've heard of them. Amazing looking programs.
I don't think it would be that much of a problem ^^ you can be introverted and still be a good teacher. If you're not so keen on eikaiwas you could go over there on a working holiday visa and do an internship or casual work or something while you wait. Ski positions sound kinda fun.
I did, because as of last week I found out the iOS 6.1 jailbreak was getting officially released around Superbowl time. So excite! Multiple audio outputs will be a fucking godsend for me (as far as things like DJ apps go).
Pretty sure it is. Is that with any codes stacked on top or is that the vanilla sale price?
Any idea if it's worth getting the LE/DLC version?
So, have I said how excited I am that the new iOS jailbreak will be out soon? HAVE I?!?
What's the right answer that enables me to buy another game I probably won't ever play?
PS. Sonic Transformed was well worth the wait on PC. Looks gorgeous, 60fps without a hitch (though it doesn't like Crossfire... it runs better with 1 GPU than 3. Go figure) and is fun as hell. Oh, and those fucking A Class races are HARD. At least, they are now... I assume levelling up cars will make them easier.
You should buy it so we can beast around in our respective cars (dibs on Football Manager).
I probably haven't played Hitman since the original.

Everyone should point their radios or web zone audio receivers to Triple J at 8 tonight because it's a Regina Spektor set on Live at the Wireless and Regina Spektor is amazing.
