I went to another cross country meet over the weekend. This group of high school boys are among the fastest in California. Most of them can run a 5K in under 18 minutes. Notable slogans on team t-shirts included: "Trample the Weak;Hurdle the Wounded" & "Love the Sport;Love Others; Love God." Approximately thirty million people live in California; thirty million individuals enjoying l...

Hopi Sen has a good, game, good game, not easy, good game involving responding to crass or direct questions of a high, even murderous degree of difficulty. Newmania of Lewes snatches the opportunity to defend my old schooly Chris Grayling for his simultaneously pathetic and outrageous The Wire R Us Tory twaddle. LOL have responded HERE. Extract: Oh Newmania! Grayling dribbled away like some kind o...

Had company to watch today's game - and she was dressed for it. And what a great game it was. In his post match interview, the Australian coach described the game as "not much of a spectacle". Everyone else thought it was a great game. A bad loser always makes victory more sweet. Shane Williams looked every inch (and there's not many of them) worth his new title of 'World Player of ...

Sathnam Sanghera:[C]ricket is ridiculous. This is a game that can be played from morning to dusk for five days without a victor. It is a game that a certain portion of supporters watch in a state of semi-slumber, a game...

The new MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) from Mythic Entertainment, Warhammer Age of Reckoning, has been getting some solid praise from the gaming community for getting mediæval on ‘gold farmers’ of late, banning the paid game accounts of people who try to sell the in-game virtual currency for real money.

He won game 6 and now leads 4.5 - 1.5 in the 12-game match. Though to me it seems that Kramnik had the advantage in the early middle game today. See the moves at Chess Vibes. Incidentally, when I studied chess openings everyone played 4. e3 against the Nimzo-Indian. Now everyone plays 4. Qc2. Is it just fashion?

There's a scene in, if I remember correctly, a David Lodge novel where a group of academics play a game called Humiliation, the idea of which is that you name a book that you ought to have read but haven't. I was playing a similar game with myself, trying to come up with the things that it is most inexcusable for me not to have done. Here were my top three. I have never played a game of ...

Is it me or it utterly bizarre that Sony have pulled the release of a game because it has on its soundtrack a tune by a devout Muslim which includes verses of the Koran in Arabic. They did this after receiving an email sayingWhile playing your latest game, "LittleBigPlanet" in the first level of the third world in the game (titled "Swinging Safari"), I have noticed something strange in the lyrics ...

If saving our climate was a game of poker and all the various stakeholders - our heads of state, the energy industry, environmentalists, etc - were players, there would be one player at the table who hasn't yet shown their cards. The hold-out in this particular game is the Information Technology (IT) Industry, a player who is sitting on a lot of chips in a high stakes game, despite holding a ...
