It's highly unlikely, but Honduras can still mathematically qualify... Remember that the first tie-breaker is goal differential and not head to head results.

Really? Based on a personal experience, I know that, in some US public school, a graduate student research assistant is paid around 1300 - 1400 US$ a month, and we're talking after taxes here. Teaching assistants get paid a little less than that, a little under 1,200. Where I am right now in...

1,600 US$ per month? To put it into perspective, a lowly grad student in the States/Canada is probably getting paid only a little less than that. After taxes, if you really only take home 850 US$ a month, then that's less than a grad student's salary. Isn't cost of living higher in Japan than...

It is interesting to note how well 8800 still runs most games out there (even newest ones) with high resolutions and all the bells and whistles turned on, considering the fact that it is more than 3 years old. Last generation, running HL2, Doom 3, and Far Cry on a Geforce 3 with high...

Yeah, but surely you have to use the 5500 series instead of Core i7 with that motherboard?

I think Mac Pro is using Xeon Nehalem, which is a server class processor. There is an equivalent of Mac Pro in PC world as well (Xeon 5500 series). I was just wondering if a dual core desktop Nehalem system (Core i7) has been announced.

Anybody knows if dual non-server Nehalem system has been announced?

Well, Grossman of Telltale Games stated that Tales of Monkey Island will NOT be considered Monkey Island 5. But yeah, another Monkey Island game is coming up this summer, and that will be the remake of the original game, and will be out for PC and Xbox 360. To be honest though, I'm more excited...

How come nobody talked about this game already? I've waited for 9 long years for a sequel, and I'm too big of a Monkey fan to pass this up (for all I care, the pundits can give this game 30 out of 100, and I would still get it). I just hope that Teltale would do a good job in creating the...

How could PS3 be selling so many units, when none of its games even made it to the top 10 last week? I don't get it...

I don't know, dude. But for me personally, if Shenmue 3 were released on X360 or PS3 (or any platform for that matter), I would buy that platform, even if it is the only game on that platform that interests me. Of course, ideally it would be on PC so I wouldn't have to spend an extra 300 bucks...

What Crysis is this generation is like what Far Cry was last generation. Far Cry was released about 2 years and 3 months after Xbox, whereas Crysis was released around 2 years after X360. This generation, PC actually gets to this point faster than last generation in software, but probably about...

I don't think I have enough technical expertise to talk about the technicalities of games, but I think games like Gears of War, BioShock, Halo 3, and Oblivion (the game is old, I know, but considering the scope, I think it's really impressive) are all technically impressive for Xbox 360...

I apologize in advance for asking a very stupid and ignorant question, but I thought Poland was in EU? Why don't you guys use Euro then as currency?

My PC is old, even older than Xbox 360, but it still runs games at the same level with the XBox 360. It was obviously a high end PC when I bought it two years ago. The point is, I hadn't upgraded my PC in two years, and it still keeps up pretty well with X360. Again, so much for the myth of...
