What other Chan Wook Park/Park Chan Wook films are good. I'm a Cyborg is on during the week in film4, but apart from the Vengeance Trilogy, I haven't seen any others.

You have to Watch Thirst. Amazing film and I might put it above everything he have done except for Oldboy.
 
FUCK

I'm out off air filters in Metro 2033 at the end of a surface level and the game autosaved on me while I'm in the process of choking on the sweet, sweet irradiated air of a post-apocalyptic Moscow.
 
Looks likely he'll replace Lewandowski. Besides Bayern and us, there's only Wolfsburg that could afford him and I don't see that happening. Pretty happy if we get Dzeko.

Yeah, I guess so. The last game showed that we can't sustain a Barca-esque system for now since you need 10 players with tight ball control and good to great passing abilities which we don't have atm.
So back to 4-2-3-1 and semi-chaotic, reactive football :)

The feature I'm most impressed by in PlayStation 4 is instant demos. I tried to explain that to my friend but he insisted that demos are always shit. He said you should just read reviews and buy the games based off of them. Ridiculous.

"Instant" is a little bit misleading IMO. If I had to guess, you're still going to have to download them.. it'll just download them on its own in the background with their predictive algorithm. For me personally, I'm a bit careful with my bandwidth usage so I know this feature will not appeal to me.

I would not be surprised if he did move to Dortmund but there's no way it'll be at £15m like has been rumored. City won't sell him at a significant loss.
 
I wasn't saying that you liked it because it was PS3 exclusive, just that its gotten way too much praise considering it's flaws! I wish that in any subsequent Uncharted game they move the focus away from combat and onto puzzles or good platforming.

Meh, all my favorite games got pretty huge flaws, Silent Hill 2 got no actual engaging and fun gameplay other than a few puzzles, Psychonauts got very flawed platforming and so does Uncharted, when the rest is as brilliant as it is though you can overlook it.

Gaikai is a streaming service. You don't actually download anything. Hence "instant".

Oh that makes sense -- I wasn't thinking about the Gaikai component in regards to demos. There will still be notable bandwidth usage though when using the service, just not as much as if you'd fully downloaded the executable file. It'll be very interesting to see how that service pans out.

Fortunately I have no bandwidth cap with my ISP here in the UK. 80MB connection, so I'm going to go ham.

Well that depends on how much you will play the games, with latency and image quality I'm not really interested either, got no bandwidth limits (that would kill me haha) but no way sony are putting up a data center anywhere near here. Would use it to quickly try a demo or something though, but not to play full games, fuck that.
 
Weird. Pretty stupid oversight from the devs, especially in a game so reliant on the balance of supplies and economy
There are auto-saves which usually are pretty good but it should have had a saving system a la Deus Ex. Especially with the many stealth segments.

The game is divided into chapters which each have a few levels. The main menu simply has a Continue option that will lead you to the latest save and a Load option which brings you to the level selection screen. I just restarted the level. It isn't that long fortunately, but it's a stealth mission so you can't actually rush it.

From the Guardian:
1) Giving thanks for Rodwell

In the post-match briefing after Manchester City had beaten Chelsea 2-0 Roberto Mancini opened up by saying: "One thing I want to say first is that for us today is the last Sunday for our Pope and I would like to say thank you to this Pope for what he did in eight years ago. Thank you very much." As Pope Benedict XVI walks off into the papal sunset and the Italian spends this week offering a prayer that Manchester United will finally slip up to allow City to close the 12-point gap, Mancini can offer thanks for the performance of Jack Rodwell in a first start since 1 September. His was a barnstorming, all-action display that was launched from the holding berth but which had him marauding all over the Etihad grass to suggest that Rodwell, at still only 21, has the potential to perform like an English Yaya Touré.

Rodwell was absolutely fantastic on Sunday. Honestly, I was very impressed and ready to have him slot in over Gareth Barry going forward if he can keep that sort of display up -- he paired very well with Javi Garcia yesterday. Rodwell's air superiority was incredible and it's something that City have not had all year.

Starting an investment banking type deal with my house mate with regards to betting. He got his Bet 365 account shut down last year because he was winning too much on all the obscure, badly priced markets so he's going to use my account from now on with me putting a start up of £50 in it. If it's anything like last March-May he'll have turned that in to £1500 pretty soon and then we'll split the profits.

Lovely.
 
Would anyone go in with me on one of those things where you go with low odds bets, and keep doing it til it builds up to a decent amount?

I'm thinking of starting with £20 on Over 1.5/0.5 in the Udinese game
 
Follow @DarrenArsenal1 for information about shareholders meeting. Match day revenue going down. Man Utd paying for RVP in instalments and deal not tied to him the league for them. Arsenal are owed 30m for players sold, and owe 13m for players bought.

Commercial deals poor.

I've seen a few of those too at Bet365.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

Jesus wept. Sell your best player to a rival CL side, and you don't even get the full whack up front? If Arsenal had a chairman with any balls that would never have happened. I bet David Gill is still pinching himself over that one.

Yeah that is absolutely ridiculous by Arsenal.

:lol Mourinho dishing out the sarcasm

"I prefer to stay with the lessons we have received in the past from Barcelona. Lessons in sportsmanship, how to be in football. Not talking about the referees, not surrounding them, trying to get opponents booked".

"And, of course, giving lessons on how to play football, they do that very well. They would be well advised if they humbly followed that line."


This was in response over Roura preemptively talking about the referee.

I would never have allowed him to be sold to United. I would have forced him to choose another side, or wait a year and hope those teams come back for you again at the age of 30.

We're making a profit anyways. We could afford to let him leave on a free, if we're not going to get a massive fee for him (and why would we? He's getting old, injury prone, etc.). Just ridiculous to let him leave.

Yeah we only paid around £14m up front :lol

This was revealed in Uniteds quarterly accounts.

We've only paid £10m for him so far.

Not surprised really. Bet365 is a ludic/ high profit margins sportsbook, I don´t know why some people loves so much this shitty website. I use sbobet, betfair, pinnacle and marathonbet, high limits and better odds. William hill, bet365, Stan James etc.. are awful imo.
