Aug 11, 2010One of the most original, groundbreaking, and entertaining arcade games to be released in a good decade or two, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is powerful and like none other. The high octane, frantic gameplay, the most colorful HD arcade game to ever be released, the incredible soundtrack it brings to the table, there is nothing Geometry Wars does not have and offer. I find myself so addicted to this game as to where I can't physically put the controller down and walk away. This game has it all with little to build on. New modes, HD, new soundtrack, this is all coming from an already successful game on the arcade marketplace. There are few games with the kind of energy Geometry Wars brings and I can't think of one other arcade game that comes close to this one. I will never be able to get enough of Geometry Wars, if your into video games at all this is a game that is a no brainer must have.… Expand
May 27, 2012This game is very addictive and fun. I wish it had online multiplayer though.
Mar 10, 2013Years on and I still come back to this compelling and highly addictive game. The improvements form the original are vast with multiple modes offering differing challenges. Easy to pick up and impossible to put down sums this game up as you lose hours in a blink of an eye either chasing your friends high scores or your own. This very much is a skill game and once you pick up your tactics your going to go far!… Expand
Apr 16, 2013Cannot hope much anymore of a game: Addictive, fun, creative and entertaining.One point down of the game: no online play with friends. This is one of the best title that one can find on XBLA. Go get it, just worth time and money
Feb 8, 2013This is a fantastically fun game. If they add Xbox Live coop, then it would be an absolute masterpiece. Why don't they do that immediately? It would be immensely popular.
Nov 19, 2013Single Player/Multi Player (2/2) (If the single player is better than the multiplayer, review this section as if it had no multplayer) (If the multiplayer is better than the multiplayer, review this section as if it had no single player) Gameplay (2/2) Visuals/Story (2/2) (If the visuals are better than the story, review this section as if it had no story) (If the story is better than the visuals, review this section as if the visuals didn't matter)
Accessibility/Longevity (2/2)
(Review this section only on Accessibility if the game has no longevity) (Review this section only on longevity if the game isn't accessible)
Pricing (2/2)
Wildcard (0)
This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a "feel" for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.
The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no "half" or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.
The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.
Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a "feature quota". Games that excel in both areas of a section don't receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section
The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the "wildcard" section. This section is for how the reviewer "feels" about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.… Expand
Another exceptional addition in a long line of shooters. While it does put a new spin on certain elements the basic principle of play is the same as its predecessors, proving that massive change doesn't always trump simple refinement.
The omission of online play aside, Geometry Wars 2 is everything you hoped it would be. It deftly builds on a simple framework without overloading it, and even finds room to make the core experience more varied and accessible to everyone.

Ipecac Records' traveling Geek Show hits the Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth on Wednesday night; if you're disappointed in the turn metal's taken through the mainstream in recent years, you should, too. Headliners Tomahawk are a straight-up supergroup staffed by Faith No More/Mr. Bungle/Ipecac mastermind Mike Patton, ex-Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison, current Melvins bassist Kevin Rutmanis and former Helmet drummer John Stanier. Mit Gas, the just-released follow-up to the band's self-titled 2001 debut, comes packaged in a beautiful fake-gold-leaf-stamped digipack that looks exactly like the wallpaper at an Indian restaurant and aptly reflects the music on the CD it houses: structurally imposing, mad florid and a little tacky in a good way. When they switch gears from "Rape This Day"'s precise creeping-death groove to the chintzy funk strut of "You Can't Win" (which features yet another bravura vocal performance from Patton's iron lungs), you'll be so glad you're not at a Cold show. Also on the bill: Forbiddingly coiffed and legendarily heavy geeks the Melvins, ostensibly touring in support of the new 26 Songs, an expanded reissue of 1986's 10 Songs, but just as likely to hit you over the head with something from their still-hard-to-believe Atlantic Records stint or some unreleased new sludge-jam. Dälek, New Jersey's grubby hip-hop unit, opens, if only to prove how malleable metal can be in the right hands. Which these are.

I'm confused...
Tennessee doesn't allow hunting large game with buckshot.
Isn't that why they call it "buckshot"?
I mean some good 00 is approximately the same as multiple 38 caliber rounds, give or take a little.
And it's legal to hunt deer with any center fire weapon as long as the BBL is a minimum of 4".
So what's the deal with this?
I'm still fairly new to TN, so any locals know the reasoning behind this?
Or any of you non-Tennesseeans have the same law?
I do prefer to hunt with slugs, but some 00 would be nice for the closer range shots though.
Maybe it's just me, but I think this is about crazy.

Buickshot is just a name someone hung on large pellet shot loads. I guess to differentiate it from birdshot.
Maybe PC ruled 100 years ago. They did not want to call it "Manshot".
Buckshot is very devistating against very thin skinned targets, really large varmints...aka people. The penetration is notoriously shallow on larger medium skinned game like deer. I feel it is inhumane to hunt deer with buckshot.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Yeah, so buy slugs. Plenty of varieties to look at too, I even have some in the shop from Brown Bear- Russian made, I guess, it sure does kick on the shoulder side!
They have some nice hollow-point ammo for the Shotguns now, wonder if they are legal for deer.
BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow.
PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
hell...they even have slugs where the sabots around them have backwards facing tails that gradually slow down and slip off the slug instead of using non-aerodynamic resistance to push it off....also, there are slugs made of a razor blade core with a gelatin substance around it where upon impact, the gel deforms and presents the blades to mangle flesh.
on top are taser rounds and even grenade rounds...but those toys are off limits.
Hexolit Blade Slugshttp://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/large/132/132180.jpg

Grenade Roundshttp://fi.somethingawful.com/is/img479/228/frag12projectile14tg.jpg
I had thought about a new kid of slug for police. It would consist of a metal slug that was a hollow tube where the forward end was razor sharp and the gel core would deform and allow the cutting edge to punch 12ga sized holes in the sidewall or tread of the tires of fleeing suspects. Or 12 ga holes in the heads of kid touchers.
I've never been a fan of buckshot for deer outside of about 30 yards. I have taken a couple of deer with buckshot but I don't use it anymore. If I go into the woods with a shotgun it's got slugs in it. Most of my big game firearm hunting is done with a pistol or rifle.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...

Doesn't it always seem like the moment you have a great idea that you find out they just made it?
I like using buckshot.12# buckshot deer hunting
"Short range weapon hunts" in many states! I have never used buckshot to
harvest a deer, but I use #4 buckshot/ prowler shot in my riotgun! I carry
a mix load of 12 ga shells that hold 22 ea .230 cal pellets or the mag loads
that hold 41 pellets of the same size! (Either way, someone is going to feel a
world of hurt) if they give me a reason to pull the trigger!!! The #4 buckshot
works very well on coyotes & (maybe wolves?)! A friend of mine "blew
the head off" a coyote that had killed his dog with a shotgun I sold him with a
12ga 22 pellet shell!

Showers moving in late Saturday
Updated On: Sep 29 2012 08:30:39 PM EDT
Rain showers over Ontario are moving north to south towards SE Michigan and will only bring scattered rain and isolated thunder to our area. These are lake enhanced showers and the impact looks greatest on the east side closest to the big lakes.
West of I-75 may see very little if any action overnight and Sunday Morning. Lows will drop to around 50 degrees.
The scattered rain showers will linger around the first half of Sunday and again be more present on the east side with gradual clearing into the afternoon.
So, Lions tailgaters may want the light rain gear just in case.
With a little sun peeking through by afternoon, temps will only manage to get into the mid 60s. You can track the rain on radar, plus find out when more rain chances and warmer temps come next week at justweather.com.

Alien Syndrome Wii
- Release Date: Jul 24, 2007
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Never does it become particularly fun, though it's quietly engaging in its own methodical, repetitive way. It's not a full-price purchase by any means, and it's nowhere close to the high action-RPG bar set by Champions of Norrath on the PS2 three and a half years ago.
Alien Syndrome has a lot of promise, but the lack of a decent story and the poorly implemented Wii controls hamper the experience. If you're a fan of the original, get this on the PSP instead.
The two-player cooperative mode may keep a duo of youngsters quiet for a handful of weekends, but otherwise this mismatched game has very little to offer.
There are moments where it feels good (which we hope can be expanded on for a decent follow-up, or be applied to another game entirely), but mainly it leaves a bitter taste.
The addition of character development is a nice touch, but was handled poorly, and the visuals are almost depressing.
Alien Syndrome is another entry in the catalogue of Wii games that fail to grasp the potential of the system. Simply tacking on a few new controls in a title that could easily have been created twenty years ago is not a winning formula.
It's dull, it's repetitive and it's as much fun as being cuddled by a cactus. [Nov 2007, p.87]
If you're an alien: we apologize for any offense taken by the poor representation of your kind in this game. Please don't invade us.

AlexisR.Nov 3, 2007Great game for co-op with non stop upgrades to keep it fun. Yes graphics are a bit dated but fun for the Wii to have a game like this on it;s roster. Its great to see less of the notorious minigame trend occurring in most Wii games but of the few offered here, they are easy to deny play, and continue which I recommend because they are hard and take upgrades away. Good game for non stop fun for 2-4 players. Do recommend it.… Full Review »

Rich in history and tradition, the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May (CYCCM) is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country. Founded as an informal sailing club 1872 and relocated in the early 1960's, the Club is presently located on the majestic harbor of our Nation's oldest seashore resort. CYCCM enjoys a reputation of world-class sailing while at the same time, is renown for its family friendly environment and outstanding dining and social life. Club members and guests value the traditions that make CYCCM the great place it is today! (History)
From the Commodore:
The summer season at CYCCM is well underway. We have had some great events both on and off the water. If you haven't been down to the Club there is a calendar full of events planned for the season. Come down and enjoy one of the many great sailing and social happenings.
Our sailing programs are up and running. There are sailing events 7 days a week at the Club this summer. We have something for everyone to do. Whether it be junior sailing, various races Wednesday through Sunday, or Sunset Sails, we have lots of ways for you to get on the water. A special thank you to RC Barry Sullivan, the Sailing and Junior Sailing Committees, Race Committees, and all our volunteers for making all the events happen.
Evenings at the Club have been full of activity. It has been great to see familiar faces and meet new people. We have had a number of excellent social events this season, with lots more to come. Come out and see all your friends, enjoy some drinks at the bar, and dine on some first class food while watching the sun set over the water. We enjoy one of the best sunset views in Cape May. A special thank you to VC Russ Dickhart, the Social Committee and all the volunteers who have worked so hard to put together some outstanding events.
2014 yearbooks are available at the gift shop. If you have not picked up your 2014 yearbook yet, please do. There are lots of great pictures in the yearbook. If you have pictures for next year's yearbook please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com .
We look forward to seeing you at the Club this summer.
Best regards,
Brian Ackerman, Commodore

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Initial claims for unemployment insurance in Nevada fell 23 percent in May compared with the same month last year.
Officials with the state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said Thursday that about 12,500 claims were filed last month. The number of claims filed is averaging about 14,000 per month so far this year.
Initial claims peaked during the recession at more than 36,000 in December 2008.
The number of claims has fallen year-over year for 18 straight months and in 51 of the past 54 months.
State economist Bill Anderson says initial claims for jobless benefits tend to increase during the fall and winter months and then fall in the spring and summer.

The Olympic handball stadium might have room for an audience of 7,000 but its premier event failed to draw the crowds. As David Cameron held court during a novelty cabinet meeting on the playing field to discuss the legacy of the games with 200 days to go, not a single spectator turned up to watch. Also notable for its absence was a commentary of the event. Using the picture above, Comment is free would like you to don the sheepskin coat and speak clearly into the microphone as you gives us your ear-catching, Motson-style voice-over.

Linear Technology Corp (NASDAQ:LLTC)
The Company designs, manufactures and markets linear integrated circuits.
Hummm...no real sales growth. High Price to Sales ratio. Even with the nice ROE the stock appears over valued. The high margin accounts for the large earnings, but can they actually grow these earnings or just keep them around 30 cents a quarter.
If we use the ROE of 20 as a surragate for growth or PE, then we value it at 20*1.20=$24 per share.

Recent Cookware Reviews
Chef Chef Pie Iron
Works surprisingly well When I was a kid, there were a couple of these things at a cabin my family had. I wasn't ever allowed to use them, so of course they fascinated me.I bought one at REI a short time ago and used it while car camping (it would be too heavy to carry) to make grilled cheese sandwiches over a campfire. It worked really well. The instructions said to butter the bread before putting it into the iron. Instead, I heated the iron over the coals and then used a stick of butter… Full review
REI Vacuum Clip Mug
These mugs are awesome. This is the best mug on the planet. I got several of these mugs years ago at REI. They were so awesome I got more. I have lost a few over the years, and they have gotten beat up from use but they are still my favorite mugs. I had some credit at REI and went back to get some more since mine are so old and beat up and was distraught to discover that they discontinued them. What a shame. I have looked online and searched forever. I was thrilled to find them again and immediately… Full review
Light My Fire Outdoor Meal Kit
Great set, complete, and easy to carry I love my Meal Kit. It has all I need and is easy to grab and go. The harness makes it easy to hang on my pack via the clip for easy and quick access. I really like that the cup has a "sip" lid so that I can wander around camp without worrying about spilling. Full review
Light My Fire Spork
This is a great little tool. It is lightweight, but still strong. It is very handy because you don't need to carry three utensils, just one. Although it has one weakness, if you are trying to use the fork and the knife at the same time it is very hard to cut stuff. I like the colours. If you lose them they are very easy to find. Full review
MSR PanHandler Pot Lifter
Just a little item, but one that makes camp stove cooking a bit easier. Used it primarily with Jetboil stove, so pots with long handles affixed can be easily knocked off, and make the stove off-balance. This works well with handle-less pots. We have come to rely on our canister stove for canoe camping...we also have begun to use small pots (in addition to the pot/mug that comes with the stove). We found that pots with large handles tended to get "tippy" on the stove, and were easily knocked off… Full review
GSI Halulite Ketalist Cookset
Bulletproof, might be a word that one would think of when using one of these, and if not for a couple of minor details great would be another. So if you really like the form factor and can get past the bulk you will most likely love this kettle and maybe even the bowl and cup. I know I do. Gotta say I love my kettle and enjoy a spot of tea in the insulated cup, and the size of the kettle makes it so I can enjoy my tea and hydrate my meal with a single boil of water. If I'm using the bowl for a breakfast… Full review
GSI Personal Java Press
Perfect for two. Nice little unit to bring to the backcountry, we always take this along. My boyfriend will only drink a "real" cup of coffee, which this press does beautifully and I'm an exclusive tea drinker. So he makes and drinks his coffee from the press and I use the cup for my tea and everyone is happy in the mornings. Everything packs neatly into the press with room to stash your tea and extras inside. We've had this for about two years now with no problems, and it has seen a lot of use! Full review
Sea to Summit Titanium Spork
Ultralight, obviously, and nice long handle for stirring. Wish it had a slightly deeper bowl (easier to use with soup). This is obviously a pretty simple utensil, so there's not loads to say. Pack it somewhat carefully since it's probably not indestructible. As a spork it's obviously not ideal for either task, so if they made a long spoon with a deep bowl, and a smaller, longer-tined fork, I'd probably go with two separate utensils. Since the spoon though is still almost the same as this, it seems… Full review
Vargo Titanium BOT Bottle Pot
I do not recommend this product. It sounds like a great idea: water bottle, cook pot, and less weight. In reality the lid gets stuck with any pressure change: elevation change or temperature change of contents. You cannot get the lid off without something to break the seal — a screwdriver works great. I do not want to have to get other things out of my pack when I want a drink. That is way too complicated. It is extremely tippy when using as a pot due to its height. I am going back to my ti pot… Full review

Jonathan Pettibone aims to improve his record to 4-0 as the Phillies hope to rebound from a series-opening clunker to the Nationals in D.C.
Ben Revere had been riding somewhat of a hot streak entering Friday night's game. He had gone 7 for 18 over his previous four games, which included two doubles and three runs. In the month of May, he was hitting .370 overall and had grounded into just one double play.
Then last night against the Nationals, Revere put in a poor day in both the field and at the plate. His biggest faux pas came when he killed a potential Phillies' breakout in the fifth inning. With the bases loaded and one out, Revere grounded into a twin killer for the seventh time this year, and the Phils finished the frame with only one run to show for four hits.
Saturday against Nationals starter Dan Haren, Revere will hit eighth. It'll be the ninth game this year Revere has hit from the No. 8 spot. He hit out of the second spot for the previous five contests.
On the mound, Jonathan Pettibone will make his seventh career start. The Phillies are 5-1 in games started by Pettibone; the Nats are 4-5 in Haren's games.
Pettibone has reached the six-inning mark in just three of those starts, but two have come in the last two games as Charlie Manuel begins to trust him more. His 1.31 WHIP is a little worrisome, but he has managed to keep runners from scoring and holds a 3.00 ERA.
Here are the lineups for Saturday:
1) Jimmy Rollins, SS
2) Freddy Galvis, 2B
3) Michael Young, 3B (.328 in 68 ABs vs. Haren)
4) Ryan Howard, 1B
5) Delmon Young, RF
6) Domonic Brown, LF (.333, 4 XB hits last 6 games)
7) Erik Kratz, C
8) Ben Revere, CF
9) Jonathan Pettibone, P
1) Denard Span, CF
2) Bryce Harper, RF (One multi-hit game since April 28)
3) Ryan Zimmerman, 3B
4) Adam LaRoche, 1B
5) Ian Desmond, SS
6) Kurt Suzuki, C
7) Tyler Moore, LF
8) Steve Lombardozzi, 2B (Raised average 22 points to .242 last night)
9) Dan Haren, P

You need to get inside of belly button to clean it right. And, you can use a Q-tip or cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to do a really good job without having to apply much pressure.

Use some Hydrogen Peroxide in that belly button, kind sir!

We use drawing salve for splinters---it's thick and black. Epsom salt for a belly button? I'd do the peroxide---or better yet--just suck it up and scrub that little hole out in the shower....with soap. I mean really--it takes about 5 seconds...I think you can do it.

good time for oysters in toronto?
I want to take my partner out for oysters for his birthday in two weeks and he mentioned that they may be out of season around this time. I had the impression that one can get good oysters at any time of the year, so is it true that at certain times of the year, the quality of oysters or maybe the selection isn't that great?
As well, we've been to Starfish and may be looking to try Rodney's. Although from browsing people's responses on the board, it seems that Starfish garners better reviews. How does the selection and quality of oysters compare between the two? Is Rodney's less expensive?
never been to rodney's but i have been to oyster boy, they have a pretty large selection
I've been to Rodney's on three occasions, though they were all over a year ago. Enjoyed every experience there - their selection of oysters was always impressive. One time I was lucky enough to be there when they had fresh scallops in, and the bartender/shucker offered my friend and I our very first live scallops. I had no idea the things beat like little hearts..
My advice: Sit at the bar, order a bottle of white, a couple trayfuls of assorted oysters, and ignore all the crazy sauces they'll line up in front of you.
I prefer Rodney's or Oysterboy. I find Starfish a hit and miss experience. One common item at Starfish i do find is sevice with lots of attitude. For some unkown reason Starfish has a four star rating in Toronto Life. I wonder how much that cost them? Any way I'm still on the look out for a great oyster bar. Any suggestions
Thank you
There was an old adage that one should only eat shell fish (oysters,mussels) in a month that had an 'R' (September through April) in it, as in the summer months shellfish could be poisonous to eat. Now as most shelllfish is cultivated it is safe to eat in the summer as well. Nevertheless the best oysters to be found in this city, in my humble opinion, are at Starfish as I know that Patrick the owner prides himself of the quality of what he purveys. In particular the very best oysters (againg IMHO) out of a very wide varied selection are the Galways he imports from Ireland. They are exquisite. Also if you go and are fortunately find that the little Nova Scotian scallops on the half shell are on the menu, try some as they are a true taste sensation. Also virtually any dish you have at Starfish is commendable (far and beyond better than Rodney's) even if you are a meat eater as I took friends there not long ago and one of the party detested anything and everything from the sea and ordered the steak frites and declared it the best he had ever had. `````
I've been going to Rodney's for over 7 years now and have always had wonderful experiences. On any given night, there are close to a dozen different oysters offered on the bed as well as cherry stone clams. There is always variety as they are seasonal. The staffers are friendly and unpretentious. If you're lucky and see the Thai soup on the menu, I definitely recommend it.
Decided to go with Rodney's last night to try something different. As expected, the oysters were fresh and tasty. We tried a bunch of appetizers as well. We enjoyed the crab callaloo soup, haida indian candy, quahogs and smelts. But the fried calamari and fresh abalone was disappointing. The service was relatively friendly.
I did find that the one time I've been to Starfish, the service was excessively slow and a bit pretentious. Perhaps next time, we will try sitting at the bar. I think in general, I enjoyed the fish entrees at Starfish more than Rodney's non-oyster offerings. While most of the appetizers we tried at Rodney's were good, nothing was truly spectacular as I remembered the fish at Starfish.
Nonetheless, we enjoyed Rodney's and will be back for oyster experiences in a casual environment.

Broadsword and Niche MMOs February 7, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment.
Tags: "Eye of EA" in no way affiliated with "Eye of Sauron", Dark Age of Camelot, EA, Evil Enhanced for Comedic Purposes, Evil in mirror may be closer than it appears, Rambling Friday, Ultima Online
Did Electronic Arts actually do us a favor this week with the whole Broadsword thing?
I mean, it may have been inadvertent… EA may have been trying to be its usual evil self, envisioning an attempt to create some layer of contract studio serfdom in order exploit an IP they own to the maximum amount of return… but does this benefit us?
What Broadsword thing? Well, this:
Broadsword Online Games will partner with EA's Mythic Entertainment to operate, support and develop Dark Age of Camelot on EA's behalf. Electronic Arts will continue to provide billing and account services through its Origin™ portal. Broadsword and Electronic Arts will work closely together to ensure a bright future for Dark Age of Camelot.
Broadsword site, DAoC Producer's Letter
There is also an Ultima Online Producer's Letter, where Ultima Online has been substituted in for Dark Age of Camelot for that bit of text.
EA is… allegedly… handing over the running of these two now-pretty-damn-old and long neglected MMORPGs to what appears to be… theoretically… an external team that is… presumably… made up of people who care about these two games and want to keep them alive.
This is EA though, so it pays to pay close attention when they say things like they are making a SimCity game, or that they are creating a successor to Dungeon Keeper on mobile OSes, or that the sun will rise in the east come the morning, because the expectations that get set in your brain based on your past experience may be at odds with what is actually being planned in the dark recesses of their San Mateo keep.
And how would this be a boon to us… where "us" is a legion of long term MMORPG players who haven't been really happy since who-knows-when and who have traded in our rose colored glasses for rose colored long term contacts so we can avoid the harsh light of reality at all times… right now?
Does this move validate or otherwise legitimize the often Kickstarter focused, niche oriented MMO projects that have been popping up since the genre fell from grace… which was when? LOTRO? WAR?AoC? SWTOR?
Does this move legitimize projects like Camelot Unchained, Project: Gorgon, Shroud of the Avatar, and Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen? Is there hope for similar ventures?
Or is this just EA trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste from the tube in the most economically expedient way possible?
And is this even a good thing for Dark Age of Camelot and Ultima Online? Will being out from under the yoke of BioWare subsidiary of EA, whose founders cashed out at their earliest possible convenience, lead to a revival of either game? You still need to wear the mark of the beast, in the form of an Origin account, in order to play them. Will that keep people away?

Yeah, I was wondering how this made sense to them when I read this announcement yesterday. My only guess is that it's preparation for selling it off. I would think they could just manage P&L without spinning it off, if simple cost measures were the goal. But game companies do lots of things that don't make sense to me.
- 3. Isey - February 8, 2014
Favor is a strong word. Most of our old favorite games are still running. Doesn't really matter what they do to them now, we left them.
Fun to read about (like the ex-girlfriend who you are friends with on Facebook..) but not going back. I still log into EQ to say hi to friends, but I don't actually *play*. I recovered my DAOC account – probably my favorite old school MMO and logged in for 3 days. Haven't since.
I will still love reading about the changes though =)

Bret Michaels Lands New Reality Showby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Bret Michaels has signed on for a new reality show.
No, it isn't titled ICU For Dinner Tonight: The Trauma Ward of Love.
Instead of filling his tour bus with a bevy of busty blondes, the recovering rocker will instead let viewers in on his private life.
The name of this VH1 series will be Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It and it will give fans "an insider's look at Bret's home life when he isn't touring, shooting, partying and rocking out," according to a network press release.
The series will premiere this fall, as Bret is actually planning to return to the stage soon, just a month after a near-fatal brain hemorrhage.
"After Bret's recent appendectomy and life-threatening brain hemorrhage, we're so happy that he is on the road to recovery and coming back to VH1," said Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming and production at the network.
"Bret is family to us and has always been a huge hit on the network, headlining several series and specials that have garnered record-breaking ratings and made a strong connection with our audience... We'd like to celebrate Bret's recovery with this sneak peak special featuring the next chapter in Bret's story on VH1.
"It's a never-before-seen look into Bret's family life."
That sounds lovely and all... but nary an overflowing bosom?!? Come on, Bret. Don't change who you are. Don't let the aneurysm win!
Toekneegee, are you bald? Do you know what it is like to be bald? Maybe some people have a hard time losing their hair, it's not an easy thing to go thru. Give the guy a break, he is a human being and could wear a clown wig if it makes him feel comfortable. I agree with for_real_tho, the important thing is he's doing well, he's recovering from a life altering experience and he's trying to do what's right. That is what matters.
who cares if he has hair or not....if he wears a bandana or a hat...only fools would make such a big deal about his hair, or lack thereof....he is supposedly back with the mother of his children, and this is the reason he is not shooting another skirt-chase-athon....she was the one that called 9-1-1 & sat by his side through his whole ordeal, prompting him to rework his contracted show-deal with VH-1...cleaning it up for the sake of his relationship...NEWS...
Yeah, he might look cute with that hat and bandana but he is not fooling anybody except himself.
Why does he insist on pitting on the bandana like we do not know he is bald. Remember Agassi? He used the same thing, bandana and a hat. But he probably could not stand it himself that he shaved himself bald. He is probably the only one who does not know that he is already bald. Poor delusional guy! He cannot hide that receded hairline forever.
