Bullshit goals, both of them. Mexico would have had a good shot at this (and was just flat out better than Argentina in the first 15 minutes), but I don't really see them coming back from 2 goals. Germany will wipe the floor with Argentina if they keep playing like this though.

Germany probably would've won either way (England's defense was just really really bad), but yeah, 2-2 going into halftime would've made for a more exciting second half I guess. That said, Germany looks pretty scary (though their defense feels kinda fragile as well) so Germany - Argentina should be a pretty good game (Unless Mexico makes some awesome upset).

Didn't meant to say they were a dark horse team, but they're from my country so obviously I should be cheering for them too!

Played a bit on the test client: - Gladiator will be amazing in both concept and playstyle. - New Rampage is quite awesome as well. - Engineer's turret got completely reworked; he won't be carrying anymore. - Gauntlet is looking good. - Chalice of Blood will make every STR caster, as well as most healers very very happy.

The ref actually ignored a lot of the dives and didn't stop the game, and the times he did, he added sufficient stoppage time afterwards. Jozy dove a lot in the first half as well (and got a bunch of free kicks out of it). Arbitrage was decent, especially compared to the earlier games. But honestly, there were so many fuckups among the US' defense, and the US really lacks a skilled striker that can consistently capitalize on the chances they create, being mostly driven by the midfield power trio consisting of Bradley, Dempsey and Donovan. They ended up relying too much on free/corner kicks and deep passes/crosses that were just too easy to intercept. USA totally would've been my dark horse (after S. Korea got eliminated), but I guess I still got Japan! Oh, and the Netherlands obviously.

Looking forward to S.Korea - Uruguay and USA - Ghana later today!

The Netherlands has 9 points (3 wins), which is only matched by Argentina so far. EUROPE AIN'T DONE YET.

Ahahaha Ciao Italia This is the best worldcup. I seriously would've broken something IRL if Italy advanced on 3 draws though.

USA vs Ghana England vs Germany So stoked.

KOREA!!!

Time for some thread necromancy! There seems to be a big patch on the horizon, including but not limited to: - Changes to Engineer and Fayde. - Rework for Rampage: - Possibly yet ANOTHER rework for Gauntlet. - New item (maybe Soul Ring or Urn of Shadows?) - A new Gladiator-themed hero based on Kunkka; The ult will be a Horse + Chariot. - A stormspirit port going by the name of Doctor Repulsor.

Elven lied is mostly (non-sexualized)nudity, violence and gore yeah. Didn't enjoy it past the first episode though.

It's too bad you didn't ask for manga suggestions because I read a lot more manga than I watch anime so I know stuff like this:

Gonna go out on a limb here and tell you to skip pretty much any long-running series (100+ episodes) since very few of them actually tend to be worth the trouble of sitting through it. The gist of it is that with series like Bleach, Naruto and One Piece, the manga is generally way better than the anime, and even then tends to be kinda meh for the time you have to invest. That said, the anime Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni might be an interesting watch but it's lighter on action and more of a murder mystery (plenty of gore going on though). Same thing goes for Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.

You don't say. Actual DPRK propaganda is supposedly very similar though.

Came here to post about Rebuild of Evangelion. The 2.22 BlueRay version simply blew me away. Also, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Oh, and Black Lagoon. because

So what you're saying is that Donkey Kong Country Returns is actually based on a completely unrelated Japanese game that got renamed and had the sprites of the main characters replaced by Donkey Kong & friends for the US/EU release? (I really do hope you get this reference or I will look very stupid)

Frances future was looking grim the moment they made Domenech the manager.

I'm actually having high hopes for the Netherlands right now, as ironic as it may seem with our mediocre play. Last time we burned out against Russia after destroying teams like Italy and France, so it's reassuring to see we're not peaking early again. Our defense, goalkeeper and defensive midfield all look solid as a rock, but there's some positioning issues among the strikers and offensive midfield (the so-called big 4). Once we work those out (and more importantly, once Robben is fit to play again so we have an actual left winger) I could very well see the Netherlands be on par with Argentina at the least.

For shame, England, for shame. Watch me eat my words after tomorrow's Netherlands vs Japan match though.

USA WINS 2-2 Really really bad refs today though.

Germany ;_; The referee was pretty bad though, with the amount of bookings he was flinging around. Germany would've had this no problem if it was still 11v11. Oh and Podolski misses like three good chances and a penalty kick. Terrible.

To be fair, Kirby games were always meant to be pretty easy, relaxing games that you could just breeze through as opposed to some nintendo-hard platformers.

대한민국 화이팅!!! ;_; Good match though, S. Korea was playing pretty crap for the first half but they had their moments in the earlier parts of the second half with some good chances at an equalizer. Tapered off at the end unfortunately. They should win against Nigeria though!
