Paul WS Anderson is the director of Mortal Kombat (but not the sequel, so, kudos) and the first Resident Evil pic (ditto, though he's returning for the fourth installment). He's also the producer of DOA: Dead or Alive and the development hell-bound Castlevania movie (which he was also going to direct until he left the project for Death Race, which was basically Carmageddon starring the bloke from Crank). He's just announced that after all these movies based on videogames, he finally wants to just out and make the games themselves. So whose footsteps will he be following?
Peter Jackson
Movies: Lord of the Rings, King Kong
Game: Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
How'd he do? Pretty well. The unwieldy vanity title – presumably meant to distinguish the game from John Guillermin's King Kong: The Official Game of the Notorious 1976 Flop - may have left out the game's most important element: Jackson's cohort, Beyond Good & Evil designer Michel Ancel.
That's no slight against the director: his skilful choice of collaborators has always been a strength, and Jackson's work with Ancel was well-received, matching the filmmaker's explosive populism with the designer's falutin' gaming sensibilities for the best of both worlds.
Give up the day job? Not just yet. PJKK:TOGotM was followed by the announcement that Middle Earth would become Halo, with Jackson working on both cinematic and videogame installments in Bungie's franchise from his homebase in Wellington, New Zealand. However, when funding was pulled, Halo's would-be director Neil Blomkamp made District 9 instead, and Jackson's Wingnut Interactive ceased work on the planned game to develop their own IP.
The Wachowskis
Movies: The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, Speed Racer
Games: Enter The Matrix, The Matrix: Path of Neo
How'd they do? Not so great. While fans would generally agree that the later Matrix movies killed the brand fairly well on their own, Enter the Matrix – released between the second and third movies – was an early sign that things weren't going to end well for the franchise. The game was confused, clunky and damn-near unplayable upon release; the less ambitious follow-up, The Matrix: Path of Neo, tried to appease slighted fans, but succeeded only by raising the bar from "godawful" to merely "mediocre".
Give up the day job? While that day job's not going so great itself – Speed Racer was poorly received, and the duo don't seem in a hurry to recapture the success of their early hits, Bound and the original Matrix – Wachowski and Wachowski's efforts aren't geared toward future games. Juggling production duties on films like Ninja Assassin with their comics imprint, Burlyman Entertainment, the pair show no signs of inflicting another Enter the Matrix on the gaming industry any time soon.
George Lucas
Movies: Herbie, The Emperor, THX 1138, American Graffiti, Star Wars
Game: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
How'd he do? Lucas has long been closely involved with games based on his IP: when developing little-known sci-fi sleeper Star Wars, he lobbied to retain the rights to all merchandise and tie-ins, and the profits from the resultant games alone – with Lucas often serving as writer or consultant - could probably pay off the national debt of several small nations. The Force Unleashed, boasting writing and production by Lucas, polarized Star Wars fans, pitting rabid acolytes against disappointed old-schoolers... which is to say, it did as well as any of Lucas's recent movies.
Give up the day job? Lucas's game studio, LucasArts Entertainment Company, boasts some of the best credentials of its day. If Lucas's day job could best be described as "Chairman of LucasArts with sidelines in filmmaking and beard cultivation," then the best advice to the director (you know, cause we're such Hollywood kingmakers and all) would be to keep running the studio, pausing only to release the occasional Star Wars remaster (because poking sci-fi geeks is funny).

All About Me |
I am a wife and mother of three with a little custom cake shop (that I LOVE) in Ensenada, Baja California Mexico. I started really baking about a year and a half ago for my son who was six at the time. From there, by word of mouth I started to get orders, working out of my home. Then in October of last year I opened the doors of Fantastical Sweets by MIKA and thankfully, still by only word of mouth I have new clients every month! |

Teeth whitening can help remove stains left by coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or—the most popular hot beverage of all—all of the above mixed together in a shoebox lined with wax paper (you drink it by punching a hole in the bottom). Smile brighter with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $69 for a 60-minute LED teeth-whitening session for one person (a $245 value)
- $119 for a 60-minute LED teeth-whitening session for two people (a $490 value)
BriteWhite Smile Studio
BriteWhite Smile Studio aims to take teeth whitening out of the arid setting of a dentist's office and place it in the relaxing atmosphere of a spa. In the tranquil studio, professionals apply a specialized gel to teeth, then expose them to the blue light of an LED mouthpiece that activates the gel's whitening powers. As a result, stains caused by drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, and smiling at too many blacklights fade away as the powerful system helps kill bacteria and speed the healing of mouth ulcers and cold sores.

SanDisk launches 'iDon't' anti-iPod campaign
SanDisk, the No. 2 seller of digital music players in the U.S., has drastically stepped up its efforts to take on the iPod with a new Guerrilla marketing campaign. The company's "iDon't" campaign, launched over the weekend, consists mainly of an anti-iPod website, but also includes paid foot soldiers at university campuses. The "iDon't" website's main purpose is to promote SanDisk's Sansa e200 music player by communicating to consumers that owning an iPod is unoriginal and that iPod users are followers.
"Calling all free thinkers, contrarians, and malcontents. The time has come to rise up against the iTatorship," the site's manifesto reads. "To resist the monotony of white earbuds and reject the oppressive forces of cultural conformity. Now is the time to break free from restrictive formats and a single source for music. Its time for choice, for freedom, for self expression—and for independent spirits to stand up and say 'iDon't'. You don't need to follow. There is now an alternative."
The "iDon't" website proudly links to anti-iPod websites like Cyber Rodent, Anything But iPod, and iPod's Dirty Secret. SanDisk is also selling T-shirts and offering free downloadable posters and desktop pictures featuring artwork such as iSheep, iChimp, iFollow, iHerd, iSchackle, iDroid, and iPuppet.
The SanDisk campaign is being handled by Grey Direct, which calls itself "a world-leading direct marketing agency with a focus on maximizing return on investment." A news entry on the site by "Eric (a.k.a. Da Sheep Herder)" reads: "This site and the iDon't campaign are the creation of several of us renegades behind the new Sansa player, from SanDisk. And this is our playful way of saying "Enough! Yeah, we're just fed up with the ever-expanding flock of iSheep swarming through our cities. You've seen them. They're everywhere. Every bus, train and city sidewalk is a mass of white headphones. Blindly they've bought into the hype without ever realizing there are other mp3 players out there."
iLounge has received at least one report of an "iDon't" representative approaching college students on campus offering free T-shirts. An iLounger reports that he was handed a black tee featuring an illustration of a chimp wearing Apple's popular white earbuds (shown below). "So today, when I came out of my Monday morning lecture at university, putting my earphones on I notice this girl coming up to with a T-shirt," he says. "At first I thought she was one of those annoying survey people, but I noticed there was more of them and then when I pulled my ear phone off she said 'It's iDont.com!' staring at the T-Shirt realizing that there is an ape with white earphones. She gave it to me because I have black earphones."
SanDisk's director of consumer product marketing, Eric Bone, said in February that the company wants to be "a strong No. 2 in the MP3 space," adding that "there are people who, no matter what, will buy an iPod. All I want is for people to think there is an alternative." SanDisk, which began selling digital music players in November 2004, used its weight in the flash memory industry and strong presence at American retailers to sell one million players during this past year's holiday quarter, putting it in a distant second place to Apple.

haha i love the comment below about how hes gonna attend sandisks funeral, god apple users are so ignorent. You know this mp3 player actually destroys the nano. The nano is the biggest rip off piece of garbage apple has ever released. I own a mac, and an ipod, but have used the sansa as well and it is a great mp3 player. Plus it includes video and picture capablitities which the ipod "no no' as i like to call it does, Yes apple makes great products, but they are extremely overpriced, and often not worth the boat-load of extra money unless you are trying to design things. Seriously if your gonna use an ipod go ahead, but dont just go out and buy one check out sandisks alternative aswell, be open minded and not some closed minded APPLE tool.

Shorter SanDisk ad campaign:
Competition for the iPod? Great. Alternative to Apple's DRM? Wonderful. Astroturfing? Screw 'em in the ear. Something that the SanDisk apologists seem to be ignoring consistently is that Apple always identifies themselves as the producers of their ads, whether against Microsoft, Intel, or whatever. The iDon't people hide the identity of their puppetmasters under the last link on their page.
Oh, and iDon't iDiots? Here comes the cluetrain, comin' 'round the bend: Monkeys are cool. I'll make sure to wear my white headphones with your black T-shirt, even though I prefer the black phones, because they'll show up better. Try taking some of the cash you're throwing at these bogus "guerilla marketers" and spend it on R&D to make your crappy SD cards better.

Sandisk is not after iPod 30/60gb.
Sansa e160 [4GB - expandable]: $195
iPod Nano [4GB]: $230
Posted by tH on May 28, 2006 at 2:56 AM (CDT)
Oh and to the guy who compared his Ipod 30GB or 60GB whatever to his wife's Sansa e130.
Geez c'mon.
Sansa e130 is a $50 512mb mp3 player.
How the hell can you make that kind of comparison? You gotta be really stupid of influenced.
Posted by tH on May 29, 2006 at 3:55 AM (CDT)
A few points on your last post. First off, the Sansa E270 can be had for about $240, shipping and tax included, from most of the major web retailers. Secondly, your not locked into 6GB, there is a micro SD card slot that let's you carry an ever-expandable library of songs (all you need to do is carry a few of those cards taped to the back of the player…..we Nano holders are TRULY locked into the measly 4GB of memory in our Nano)! Third, we paid nearly the same amount for our Nano player, so 240 for 6 GB plus is NOT ridiculous. Fourth, don't even get me started on the Nano's non-self-replaceable battery….........
Posted by keithnyc on May 31, 2006 at 12:55 PM (CDT)
The thing here is that the sansa isnt an iPod alternative. It doesnt support video like iPod from what I can make out. It is only 6 GB with a slot for a memory card, but that still wont be able to match the 30 GB of the standard iPod. It is only going to compete in functionality with the nano, which it should fail. It isnt as well thought out. It is bigger. It's probably even heavier.

I good ipod is a dead ipod. Apple sucks, just like microsoft.
Posted by Elven on June 14, 2006 at 5:51 AM (CDT)
i have an ipod nano 4gb and i like it, its a great music device. i also have a creative zen nano plus for school. i dont feel like getting my ipod ripped off just yet lol.
anyway, i like the nano for just a few features that the zen doesn't have. for one, 4gbs of music storage, color display with album art, ease of use, and its tiny.
the zen nano is small too, but its only 512mb, so right off the bat its a big difference. the few reasons i like it are, it has better sound than the ipod for some unknown reason, its got a radio, line-in encoding, voice memo, recording from the radio and it came with a belt clip lol.
anyway, thats my opinion. i will always go for the ipod though, just because of the cool factor involved.

A review of Andrew Bujalski's "Results."
Jake Heke is a man with a hair-trigger temper, and its unpredictability is the most frightening thing about him. He likes to play the role of the genial, beer-swilling host, playing his guitar, singing songs, beloved by all, especially late at night by his drunken buddies. But let someone cross him, and he can lash out in the blink of an eye, the rage boiling over.
Jake and his wife, Beth, are Maoris, living in a housing development in New Zealand. They're both good-looking people, and Jake, with his sunny, sleepy-eyed, self-satisfied smile, seems like he's brimming with confidence. He is not. Beer fuels his resentments and insecurities, and masks his strength.
There is a scene early in "Once Were Warriors" where he gets into a fight in a bar and inflicts incredible damage on a muscle-bound thug who seemed, until he met Jake, able to whip anybody in sight. This is a key scene because it establishes what Jake is capable of; all through the movie, we are waiting for that violence to be unleashed again.
"Once Were Warriors" shows Jake and Beth in good times and bad.
They flirt, they sing boozy duets, they make love. But Jake is also capable of turning in a flash into a brutal monster, and Beth wakes up one morning with her face a bloody mass of bruises. "It's the same old story," she tells a friend. "I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut." During the course of "Once Were Warriors," she will slowly learn to stop blaming herself when she gets beaten.
Beth has a temper, too. Booze is the problem in the household, triggering terrifying personality changes. The kids learn to stay out of the way, especially the older ones: Boogie, the boy, who joins a gang, and Grace, a beautiful teenager, who retreats into her journal and into a friendship with a spaced-out boyfriend who lives with his drugs in an abandoned car. Huddled in their room one night with the sounds of anger crashing through the walls, Grace explains to her brother: "People show their true feelings when they're drunk." The movie has carved a reputation for itself on the festival circuit, leaving audiences shaken and silent at Telluride, Toronto, Honolulu and Park City. It is powerful and chilling, and directed by Lee Tamahori with such narrative momentum that we are swept along in the enveloping tragedy of the family's life.
In Temuera Morrison, as Jake, the movie finds a leading actor as elemental, charismatic and brutal as the young Marlon Brando; he has instinctive star power, and it's his likability that makes the violence of his character so shocking. Rena Owen, as Beth, supplies the moral center of the film, as a woman who finally calls a halt to the spiral of pain in her family.
The director's key achievement is creating a convincing sense of daily life in the household and neighborhood. This is not a narrow drama that focuses on a few themes; it paints a whole style of life, the good times with the bad, and perhaps no scene is more sad than the one in which the family rents a car and sets off on a picnic, happy and in good spirits, only to have everything go wrong when Jake decides to stop for just one drink.
Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, as Grace, the pretty teenager, is also important to the film; she reflects a hope and optimism that somehow shines even on the family's cloudiest days, and although her runaway boyfriend's hideout under an expressway seems grim, they are able to make it into a refuge where laughter and dreams are possible.
Then everything goes bad for them, too.
"Once Were Warriors" has been praised as an attack on domestic violence and abuse. So it is. But I am not sure anyone needs to see this film to discover that such brutality is bad. We know that. I value it for two other reasons: its perception in showing the way alcohol triggers sudden personality shifts, and its power in presenting two great performances by Morrison and Owen. You don't often see acting like this in the movies. They bring the Academy Awards into perspective.

Natural Disasters: Public Policy Options for Changing the Federal Role in Natural Catastrophe Insurance
Date: November 26, 2007
Creator: United States. Government Accountability Office.
Description: A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "In recent years, much attention has been focused on the roles that the private sector and federal government play in providing insurance and financial aid before and after catastrophic events. In this context, GAO examined (1) the rationale for and resources of federal and state programs that provide natural catastrophe insurance; (2) the extent to which Americans living in catastrophe-prone areas of the United States are uninsured and underinsured, and the types and amounts of federal payments to such individuals since the 2005 hurricanes; and (3) public policy options for revising the federal role in natural catastrophe insurance markets. To address these questions, GAO analyzed state and federal programs, examined studies of uninsured and underinsured homeowners and federal payments to them, identified and analyzed policy options, and interviewed officials from private and public sectors in both high- and low-risk areas of the United States. GAO also developed a four-goal framework to help analyze the available options."

Presentation - The EPA recently finalized the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), requiring significant reductions in mercury and air toxic emissions, inlcuding those from the electric sector, the largest industrial source of toxic air pollution in the United States. Despite the significant benefit to public health, power companies and some in Congress continue to fight against the standards.

I want to thank EVERY SINGLE PERSON who emailed me supporting Bob from the day he was released unto the world early 2005, right up until the release of this remake; also not forgetting those who've played, commented and voted for it here on NG. You're the reason this game exists, so give yourselves a pat on the back!
I hope you all enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoyed (re)making it, and be sure to comment and let me know what you think! I do try to reply to everyone who posts a coherent comment.
Also, if you liked the game and think it's worth a buck or two, please go ahead and click on the 'Donate' link in the title menu, or the advertisement in the preloader, and help feed a starving indie game designer :D
i've been waiting for this for awhile now.
Just ooone thing..
I know you said that Horde Mode was unfinished but just wanted to report something so you could maybe fix it.So I went to "Come at me" mode and then played Horde Mode as Terrence and when I spawned I went straight through the ground
Nice game!
usually in this kind of games you just have to run and press 1 button to attack. Nice that "somebody" did add parry and block ^^ Good that ppl cant complete every game just by running and spamming: A or space :P (sry my crappy english ^^) Anyways great game! 4/5 10/10
No worries, I understood you fine. Glad you liked the formula and had fun!
awesome remake!
I've played the original version and said it was a good game but too hard. this game thankfully tone down the difficulty by including a health bar along with 3 lives, and you can now play on two difficulty levels. there's an actual sound track for the game now, like the Barbarian Bob theme song and the many songs you'll hear across the campaign. this version also has Newgrounds Medals but it only has about 8, and none of them are for completing the on the hard difficulty.
the gameplay is fundamentally the same. you are Barbarian Bob, of course, and you are hacking and slashing against multiple enemies that are trying to stop you from reaching their kingdom where you fight off against their ruler. the gameplay pretty much involves you killing enemies one by one although you could possibly be facing off against 2 at certain times. I personally find the game play to be much better because I can actually progress onwards unlike with the original. I've seen some newer locations as well as well as some secret items that weren't available in the first version, unless I'm somehow mistaken.
graphic ways the game still looks the same as it did back with the original which was posted back in 2005. so the game is a bit dated and some graphical improvements could of been nice. animation is also the same. now I'm not saying that the game looks bad or animates poorly, I'm just saying some improvements here and there would have kept the game more up to date with flash games out there now.
Great review, man! Thanks for taking the time to write it up :D

There are lots of good tops. If u dont have vlad he is also a very good top counter to most champs. Out of the list that u made though yorick is the strongest TOP lane. Shyv is incredible in the jungle and CAN top effectively but not crazy strong by any means.
Junior Member
Best solo top is Count Duku
rumble,yorick,riven are good at harassing the funny thing is with rumble. at lvl 6 can 1v2 xD
My favorite are Yorick and Renekton, but beware Garen seems to be an easy counter for Renekton, so agreed with whoever said Renekton is best used to counter. Yorick starting with manamune is my favorite way to go just have good runes!
Buy Wukong or Lee Sin I think lee sin is the beter choise

Riven is probably the best solotop right now (if you can actually play her). Shyv is a very strong pick, aimed more at top/counterjungling because she pushes her lane so hard with that w. (shyv is better played on blue, because you have access to purples red buff side). Yorick is strong laner, but not necessarily so much in teamfights. Morde is an awesome pick, but you have to beat your lane to make him worth if. If you get down at all, you're probably gunna feed all game because you cant do enough damage to keep your shield up. Rene is like riven, except he scales weakly into lategame. Doesnt spiral out of control, since you'll catch up before the 5 item mark. TLR; If you wanna scale out of control and practice - RIVEN. If you want one thats pretty sweet counterjungler- SHYV. (Both can jungle, just depends who you like in it more).
Garen is the best solo top
i personally like maokai as solo top if some1 else is jung like shaco, otherwise i jung with him
lee sin, wukong, or rumble

"This invitation is high quality. I love the shape, the colors, and the design on the back. We chose the gold envelopes to go with the invites. My only disappointment was that I was hoping there was a sparkle or shimmer in the gold color on the invitation, but there is not. It's still beautiful and I would order again. My daughter, whose Sweet 16th Birthday is in January, LOVES her invitations and is so excited to give them to her friends. Thank you!"
"Almost perfect... if I could have added information on the back they would have been perfect, but otherwise these were GREAT and I am super happy. Highly recommend."
"I was so blown away at the ease of creating such a cute invite. The process was quick and I have to say that when I received the box in the mail, they made it feel as thou I was receiving a gift. Packaging was beautiful and thoughtful. I could not have been any more pleased with the product. Well done tinyprints, well done. I will use again and I will tell my friends."
"I ordered these cards as invites for a goodbye party. The quality, like any other Tiny Prints product is unmatched. Very happy with this purchase!"
"I was amazed at how easy it was to edit the text to fit our particular event. The paper quality was beyond my expectations in density and weight. Our guests commented on the fun and originality of the invitations!"

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Artificial turf will be installed at Notre Dame Stadium in time for the start of the upcoming football season. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said the university wanted to stay with natural grass, but said a combination of factors including the university holding commencement at the stadium in recent years has made it harder to maintain good field conditions. Last year the university installed new sod at the stadium three times, including once in the middle of the season. Coach Brian Kelly had said previously he wanted FieldTurf installed. The university announced during its spring Blue-Gold game Saturday that installation of FieldTurf will begin after the commencement ceremony on May 18 and should be completed by Aug. 15.

The use of controlled surface flaws to examine fracture properties of brittle materials is reviewed. Surface flaws are introduced by microhardness indentation. Such flaws are semi-elliptical in shape, with dimensions dictated by the indentation load.
A single flaw of proper size placed on the tensile surface of a conventional four-point bend specimen initiates fracture because it is the "worst flaw" in the specimen. Presence of the flaw reduces both the fracture strength and its associated scatter. Because controlled surface flaw dimensions are generally visible on the fracture surface, the critical stress intensity factor, KIc , may be calculated using fracture mechanics analyses for surface flaws in bending.
Such a fracture mechanics test is experimentally convenient, adaptable to testing in severe environments, and requires a relatively simple test specimen geometry. Also of importance is the fact that the fracture flaw dimensions are close to those of the natural flaws in the material. For silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon carbide (SiC) the technique has been employed to determine KIc at room and elevated temperatures, as well as under dynamic loading conditions. It has also been used to study slow crack growth, environmental effects, and mixed-mode fracture in these materials. Disadvantages of the controlled surface flaw technique as well as potential new applications are discussed.

Four Labour and one Liberal Democrat chairmen of select committees head 112 MPs urging the dropping of a planned blanket ban on the release of information relating to government policy - a step Mr Straw is still strongly resisting. In a Commons motion, the MPs also call for tougher powers for a proposed information commissioner, to compel authorities to release information.
Giles Radice, Labour chairman of the treasury committee and one of the chief signatories, last night said its supporters were not "the usual suspects". Other senior backers include Robert Sheldon, chairman of the standards and privileges committee, Tony Wright, chairman of the public administration committee that led an inquiry into Mr Straw's draft bill last spring, Martin O'Neill, chairman of the trade and industry committee, and Tony Banks, the former sports minister. Archie Kirkwood, Lib Dem chairman of the social security committee is also a signatory, as is Richard Shepherd, a Conservative member of the public administration committee and campaigner for greater openness.
A freedom of information bill is widely expected in next month's Queen's speech. Following widespread criticism of the draft legislation, including the Guardian's Open Up campaign, a cabinet memo leaked last week disclosed concessions, but many critics argue they do not go far enough.
Mr Straw has suggested he may strengthen the powers of the commissioner to recommend disclosure rather than simply review a decision, but there is no indication he will bow to MPs' calls and give the commissioner the right to force disclosure. The home secretary is even more firmly resisting disclosure of factual information informing government policy-making.

The room was large, comfortable and very well prepared.
Exterior wasn't great. Location right off the Plaza was okay, but busy.
The location was great and so was the price for that area of Kansas City. The garden in the back was lovely - a nice place to sit with coffee or an evening drink.
They said that breakfast was served from 6:30-9:30 (or something like that). I went down to get breakfast with my kids at 8:15 and there was nothing. If they are going to advertise breakfast, then they need to serve breakfast for the ENTIRE time!
Location of hotel . close to food and shopping. We parked the car and walked to everything we wanted to go to. There was shopping for men not just the women. A good variety of food choices near by. Target and same within driving distance.
Like having the open room access to parking lot instead of hallways to a room.
old and falling apart, rooms are dirty and nasty. appliances barely work. had to change rooms three times due to water heater not working in one, fridge in another and third was not cleaned. I would not recommend this to anyone.
It's a one star hotel so I was expecting the worst. Surprisingly, while dingy, the room itself was very satisfactory. Large living space, separate rooms, space for all of your unmentionables
Breakfast was great and staff was helpful
Pool was freezing
Staff very friendly and accommodating, rooms very spacious and clean. Our maid did an excellent job at meeting our needs since there were 4 girls in the room she left us extra robes and towels.
No adjoining rooms, and only 1 double queen room per floor so our group had to get split up.
The front counter clerk was very pleasant. She went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and when she thought that's something wasn't available she told us that she would personally get it and bring it for our comfort.
The Internet there is terrible. They offer free wifi and we could not access the internet at all.
Great job with the remodeling. Place looks great!
Very cool them. Awesome location.
Would like to see the fit and finish of the hotel update from the previous brand.
a great hotel i stay there very year
it is very nice
Very friendly breakfast staff. Comfy beds. Location.
The room felt a bit dated.

Revealed: why Diego Costa chose Chelsea
"Chelsea are one of the greatest clubs of the world so there are many factors that make you take a decision like this."
Diego Costa appears set for a move to Chelsea, and is saying all the right things ahead of his move to SW6. Costa, 25, has been in fine form for Atletico Madrid and seems destined to star for Spain as they aim to win the World Cup outright. Costa continued: "Why would I have chosen to play for Chelsea? It is a thing that is about to happen, things are going in a direction and, if they keep going as they are going, it is the team I will play for in the next season."
Chelsea have struggled to replace Didier Drogba since his 2012 departure and Costa looks like a prudent option. You can get a risk free bet on Spain at the World Cup, as Costa aims to help Spain recover from their shocking performance vs the Netherlands.
