Loads of vids here and pics.

The utter awesomeness of a hockey blog being linked to in a context like this.

That's where I nicked the vids in the OP from by the way.

Pretty amazing:





Caused one hell of an explosion too:



Supposed to be entirely unrelated to the upcoming asteroid fly-by. Hope no one got hurt.

Erik Karlsson lacerated his Achilles tendon on this play tonight:



I bet his season is over with that. Harsh for the Senators who already have Jason Spezza and Jared Cowen out with long-term injuries, it'd be a miracle if they make the playoffs now.

Sky Sports don't half over-hype games like this.

A pair of what? Sandals? I don't see how these would be beneficial.

EU and US free-trade talks launched

Depending on the terms, that deal could be absolutely massive.

Weird people doing stupid fucking gross shit has probably been happening since the dawn of our race. The technology today just enables everyone to see it, compared to what about 20 years ago?

Yeah, if people think people doing fucked up things and having weird sexual preferences is something new they really need either a history lesson or a look at James Joyce's love letters.

I'm going on what I assume is a date tomorrow and I'm really quite scared.

Tomorrow technically being 'today' but it's not tomorrow until you wake up.

Grow a pair.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have fired GM Scott Howson.

Rumours going around saying former Blues Assistant GM Jarmo Kekäläinen is on the Jackets shortlist to take over, if that happens he would be the first non-North American to be appointed general manager of an NHL team.

Edit: It's official now, Jarmo Kekäläinen is the new GM of the Blue Jackets.

The Pope is resigning \o/ I reckon that's just for the press, God likely sacked him after a few poor masses

First time in nearly 600 years that a pope resigns apparently. Must have done an absolutely terrible job.

I guess God tired of being represented by an Emperor Palpatine lookalike.

Crisse de câlice de tabarnak!

3 straight losses to divisional opponents, the guys better grab their fucking sacks and get their asses out of their heads ASAP.

Oh, and Cole needs to be traded to Siberia or something, useless meathead.

I'd probably drop Cavani down one level.

Because they'll make a lot more money?

How? Unless I've completely missed something pirates still need to use a modified console to play downloaded games.

Or is the DRM just meant to kill off the market for used games?

I don't get what the point of DRM on a console is though, other than being a pain in the arse for your paying consumers.

They will never, in a million years, double 360 and get 720 and name the new Xbox that. It sounds absolutely shit.

People thought 360 was a stupid name when it was released too.

You can manipulate photos without photoshop.

Yeah, good old fashioned retouching existed long before computers.

But I'm sure Liverpool will want to recoup at least half of that £35M they squandered on him.

And I want to sleep with Anne Hathaway, doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

Watched the first season of How to Make it in America, I quite like it. It's not brilliant but it has its charm.

It's basically a poor man's Entourage.

They've sold pretty much identical figures, Sony slightly more than the Xbox.

Anyway, this generation is going to see two consoles with very similar hardware and architecture, lots of cross platform and similar price points. If the only discernible difference is paying for Xbox Live vs free PSN the PS4 will probably be a better investment.

By Fantastic | Permalink | On 05 February 2013 - 18:48 PM
I think ultimately it now comes down to who you know will be on which console. The Xbox has to seriously fuck up for me to not get it simply because the vast majority of bros I know will be getting it.

Don't forget about the exclusive games.

Now, I've barely used my Xbox at all the last 4 years so I'm probably not going to buy any of the two, but if I did I'd probably go with the new Xbox just because I prefer the Forza series over Gran Turismo.

Danish women are easily the ugliest ones in Scandinavia.

Yep.

Foreign minister rocked up in England, acted like a cunt, refused to meet representatives from the Falklands (who were about to tell him to get to fuck).

Talks a lot about colonialism, but if there's one people that are acting colonial here it's them.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21341578

Saw this article when I looked at the one you linked to. Reminded me just how much I hate boomers. The most spoiled, selfish, greedy and destructive generation in human history, yet they have the fucking audacity to complain about our generation being "lazy". Fuck them. Cunts.

Permanent residents in Russia are subject to a flat income tax of 13%.

I'm guessing everyone has heard the story about Arshavin and his contract?

By ianbaker | Permalink | On 05 February 2013 - 16:41 PM
Some Russians pay very little tax. Depends on who you know.

Russians pay very little tax in general when compared to Western European countries.

GO TO THE CINEMA YOU DWEEB.

A PTA film comes about around once every five years. Surely you can spare him 80 kr once every five years?

I can spare him the 100-200 kr the blu ray costs if I like the film.

Film snobs will have a heart attack over this but I hate going to the cinema.
