No offence taken whatsoever, especially given that I am not a fan of any form of Rugby or "rugger buggers" as my college English professor referred to them as :P If I want combat in my sport, I'll engage in the closest form of it, which is full contact sparring. I wasn't allowed to play rugby when I was young as I had surgeon for a father who saw many injuries in children from it. So I gravitated towards cricket. I still managed to knock myself out one game as I never wore a helmet. The ball was swinging through the air quick significantly, and I edged it straight into my face and split my lip open. It was a men's cricket game and my girlfriend at the time was watching, and she came running out to the field.

The captain suggested that I should retire hurt and I remember asking (whilst concussed) "Will I get to bat again?" and he said probably not and asked me if I was okay. I lied and said I was fine. Gotta love the "invincible" feeling being 20 years old. I could barely see as I was very dizzy, and the next ball the bowler tried to do the same thing. I belted the ball over his head for 4 and everyone in the stand watching cheered wildly. It was one of my favourite moments. The following over I was bowled out. I was still concussed and actually relieved to go off the field. In my mind, I had my revenge! lol

It's a great pleasure for me to discover this kind of things. Even with the web, other cultures and "real-life" of other countries inhabitants is still a lot unknown from one country to one other (I would say too much unknown).

Wow that is intense. Then again a lot of Aussies take sport way too seriously too! It is a game, and should be fun :)

Correct.

For those who don't know what that is: Tetronimoes are the block shapes used in the game Tetris.

PM incoming.

I guess you are playing pool. A hint:
Snooker is basically the same as pool, but totally different!

+1 BTM is a great game...except for those Big Mama levels.

Hey people, I'm back to drive you crazy while complaining every next game is not Dragonfall! Well, until it is.

And finally things seems to speed up slightly with Bird Story, not a sprinter certainly, but not a rheumatic three legged turtle either.

cool, I finally got a critical hit this sale, indirect though it may be :D
Thanks a lot, I'm going to play this right away!
EDIT: yesss it includes the soundtrack. Awesome.

You can find old matches on YouTube and other video sites and there are sites that stream them live. 18 runs off 1 ball is probably the most amazing thing that I have seen in cricket. With a normal legal delivery, the most that can be scored from 1 ball is 6 runs by hitting it over the fence or rope on the full. If a ball isn't a legal delivery, ie wide or no-ball, meaning bowled too wide, too high, the fielders aren't adhering to fielding restrictions or the bowler oversteps the crease when bowling, 1 run is scored and the ball has to be bowled again. More can be scored from a wide or no-ball if the batsmen run or it goes to the fence.

Edit: that wasn't the clip I was thinking of. Here is the full over where 38 runs were scored. This was the most amazing finish with 12 runs to win off 1 ball. Enjoy cricket affectionados :)

Shadowrun will be next (hope so).

Oh my, fresh games didn't even hit round 3 I see? This must have been a long night.

This is not Dragonfall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. Will try to keep track of this during work. Fortunately A Bird Story went pretty fast.
