Unimaginable stamina .. Its such an explosive sport requiring endless stop and go movement. At least while long distance running you can maintain forward momentum and relax to some extent, that isnt the case here. Quite a lot of spirit in both of them.

Could anyone find that Nixon speech in the event that the astronauts were stranded? I'm curious to read it in its entirety but cant find it...

Edit: Scratch that, I found it

Woaaaw! He has quite the lung capacity, barely took a breath for 10 straight minutes.

*begging for Leonidas & Chuckie

>> I haven't played ANY, but Ubisoft sucks for its DRM though. I only have Windows/PC since I am not a console fan (haven't owned one since Atari 2600). I wished there were playable demos."



I played AC & AC2 to the PC, not a console person either .. and all that DRM effort Ubisoft put in didnt do them any good, they've all been broken by hacker groups. AC2 took a while before it was cracked, but it fell just like any other title.

>> ^ant:
Looks nice, but will the game be fun? I heard the first game was repetitve, bloated, etc.


Correct .. the first one was more of a nice looking prototype then a game. However, Assasins Creed 2 perfected it. If you havent already played AC2, then I strongly reccommend that you pick it up. Well crafted through and through. You should be able to jump straight into it without having played the first one and still enjoy it immensly.

Booyaahkasha!

Stewart is on a roll .. sheer brilliance yet again. And I absolutely love the precision of which the Daily Show staff finds gold in historic video archive footage.

Aaaalmost passed this one up since I'm not sure whether de Gray is a genious, a mad scientist or both. Quite glad I took the time to hear him out though, especially the Q/A session at the end. Fascinating stuff.

*begging that Ubisoft delivers a worthy continuation to further the narrative between Assasins and Templars.

Swapped the embed to the superior quality one. /Highfive RedSky .

^Hear hear!

Jon Stewart occationally ditches his comedic routine in favour of holding his guests feet to the fire, showcasing some rare and exceptional journalism in the process .. sadly we are still waiting to see similar stuff from Colbert despite I'm sure he would have the wits to do it pretty well.

With a better title this one might have caught on, deserves more votes anyhow.

I wonder what it must be like to hear music again after having it being lost from you for years.

I absolutely adore how it perfectly captures italian tv in the few seconds it devotes to cannavaro.

gah .. I had a lengthy debate with myself whether to watch this again, and came to the conclusion that I could man up, watch it, and admire the clip for its cinematic brilliance instead of allowing it to get to me. But then the two little girls pop into view for half a second in the middle of it all and Im now just gonna go crawl up in a corner somewhere.
