Well, my nation's team didn't get the 3rd place.

But at least we put up a much better fight than we did with Argentina a few days ago. Hopefully this means better things to come for us in the future.

The Minnesota North Stars in 1990-91. Had the biggest season loss record in the team's history, yet they made it into the playoffs. Knocking out the top two ranked Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues, and then defending champions Edmonton Oilers to make it into the finals. But despite winning th...

Rossi is an Indy 500 winner!

Let's hope this gets him back into the F1 scene!

DOSBoot

1. Red Bull Pit Crew: Cost Riccardo an almost certain win. 2. Sauber: This team is going down like the Titanic. Dishonorable Mentions: Verstappen: Spain hero, to Monaco zero. Palmer: Clearly out of his league here. Justin Bieber: I want to go "Drive Elevator" on him whenever I see his fac...

DOSBoot

1. Perez: Really had an outside chance of winning this race at one point.

2. Alonso: Once again gets that crapbox of a McLaren where it shouldn't be.

Honorable Mentions:

Hulkenburg: Icing on the cake for Force India.

Riccardo: Should have won this race.

DOSBoot

Saw the race online just now. Great start, got a little bland in the middle, but the last 15 laps were great! HAPPY END!

DOSBoot

1. Hamilton: Did he really think that passing on the grass with slicks was really going to work?!

2. Fire Marshall: From what I've read, it sure was a "Fire Marshall Bill" moment.

DOSBoot

1. Verstappen: Qualified well, got a little lucky with the Mercedes DNF, but no one can deny that he deserved the win.

2. Sainz Jr. 6th in his home race.

Honorable Mentions:

Raikkonen: Outperformed Vettel for once.

Gutierrez: Was only three laps away from a 9th place.

Of all the races I forgot to DVR, it had to be this one.

How about Vittorio Brambilla at the 1975 Austrian Grand Prix? Even he was so surprised he crashed the car when he crossed the line!

Peter Gethin's win at the Italian GP in 1971 was a shocker considering how short his career was. He never finished higher than 6th, before or after, and never led a lap in his entire career. Depending how you look at the results, this would be the closest finish in F1 history. Not only that, but he ...

1. Kvyat: Threw away a good opportunity by crashing.

2. Gutierrez: Threw away a good opportunity by crashing.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Palmer: Had his butt handed to him by his teammate.

DOSBoot

1. Magnussen: 7th place in one of the worst cars in the grid!

2. McLaren: Double points finish after some lackluster weekends.

Honorable Mentions:

Verstappen: Was high as 2nd at one point. In a Torro Rosso!

Grojean: Keeping the Haas train going.

Just bought "The Revenant" on Blu Ray today, and I highly recommend it. Very tense, and violent, but stunningly beautiful cinematography, and wonderful acting. Especially Leonardo DiCaprio, who won and Oscar for that role. (Which was a good call in my book.) That bear attack sequence was o...

1. Renault: Any slower, and they'd be going backwards. 2. Vettel: Still blaming others for his mistakes. Dishonorable Mentions: Haas: Yeah they had a little bad luck with Grojean's wing problem, but I was expecting much better from the team after the safety car period. Let's hope it's not a sign of...

Kind of late to the party, but: 1. Wehrlein: Just for hanging in there that long in a Manor. 2. Red Bull: 3rd, and 4th is a breath of fresh air for the team after a few sluggish races.

Williams: Threw away a good opportunity there.

1. Qualifying: You know it's bad when even Bernie is calling it crap.

2. Torro Rosso: Interteam fighting cost them valuable points.

Dishonorable Mentions:

Kyvat's Car: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Ferrari's Strategists: Cost them an almost certain race victory.

DOSBoot

1. Grojean: His optimism certainly wasn't for show. He drove his heart out there, and to an amazing 6th place. 2. Haas: Their patience, and preparation certainly paid off. They may not have had the best qualifying debut, but they made the most of it when race day came, and aside from the crash, eve...

Shame he couldn't get the race seat since he did very well in most of his races. But I guess an outside of a chance back in F1 is better than no chance.

Last night I stumbled upon this excerpt from a nightmarish film called Decasia . Decasia is a 67-minute film made up entirely of decayed film stock and it is at once terrifying and sad to look at. The decay does lend a new meaning to these old dramatic films and newsreels, it is certainly an intere...

Such a great game. I'm not much of an RPG guy, buy KOTOR is a fantastic game to play.

January isn't even over yet, and we've lost another great icon in music. I hate to bring up the subject again, but Eagles member Glen Frey died yesterday at the age of 67.

Was on my way home from work today, and I heard this beautiful masterpiece on the radio in full.

Fans seem to have decided that Connery (all films), Lazenby, Craig, and roughly half of Moore (all pre- Man With The Golden Gun ) are all cannon. The second half of Moore, and surprisingly all of Dalton, is not. Kind of odd since his wife's death was briefly mentioned in "License to Kill"...

On the other hand I don't consider the 1967 version of "Casino Royale" despite being Ian Fleming original choice for James Bond (David Niven) being in it, an official Bond film. I consider it a spoof. Which it is. A weird, dated, convoluted mess of a spoof. But a spoof indeed. (To be fair...

DOSBoot

How I usually handle continuity between films, books, and other forms of media, is that I take it with a clear conscience, and decide for myself what's cannon, and what not. Even if it isn't officially recognized by whoever owns it. Take the James Bond movies for example. Many people don't consider ...

A little late to the party but it was a good Christmas for me. I got a new printer/scanner for my computer, some kitchen utensils, a towel set, and lots and lots of cash. Most of which is going to my apartment when I move there in two months time.
