That "BOX ART NOT AVAILABLE" placeholder in my What I'm Playing box belongs to Resonance of Fate.
Why does it seem like 1up is ignoring this game?
I'm certainly no expert on the game industry, but like every other geek I have a hypothesis: 1up.com as a website/business does not expect to gain as much from expending it's resources and time on Resonance of Fate news when it could be using it on the other, much more hyped games out right now.
They figure that website traffic won't increase from a RoF article, even a review, as much as it would from yet another article with some news/tidbit/analysis/developer interview about a game like GoW3, FF13, Bioshock 2, and so on. Another explanation, which seems likely to me given the complete lack of advertising for Resonance of Fate, is that Tri-ace failed to send out review copies/coerce the video game press to talk about RoF.
Add to that a shortage of Resonance of Fate copies in stores (this link is about shortages in Canada but from first hand experience I've seen that game stores in the US didnt have it on release day either), and it seems like everyone in the business was expecting this game not to sell, and then set it up so it wouldn't sell. Talk about a self-fufilling prophecy.
It's a sad situation, because I strongly believe that in many ways RoF is a triumph and just what the RPG genre needed.
On the one hand 1up.com is a free website and they need to make their money and all that, but on the other hand if they did try to pay a slightly more equal amount of attention to the un-hyped games, maybe the sleeper gems would have a better chance at success.
Maybe 1up will prove me wrong and review the game in the next few days. At the very least, I have to credit 1up for providing the consumers of video game news plenty of ways to let their voices be heard. Perhaps "word-of-blog" buzz about Resonance of Fate will help the game reach more people. And so I urge gamers, especially those who felt constricted by FF13's lack of freedom, to play Resonance of Fate. It has a lot to offer, but it seems to be in danger of slipping through the cracks made by the "earth-shattering" triple-A releases that came out this month.
Rent it, buy it, just don't pass it up.
(I've been a lurker on 1up for years now, but this is my first post here. It prolly ended up being overly long and serious, but I'm glad I got the chance to put what I've been thinking lately into words :3)

Whether the U.S. agrees or not, argues Vali Nasr, "Pakistan more than any other country will decide the fate of Afghanistan."
Asia Society's six finalists for the Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Journalism on Asia give insights into their nominated reports. The winner will be announced next month.
A veteran observer of the Afghan Taliban argues that they're moderating their outlook ahead of likely ceasefire negotiations with the United States.
Leading Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid outlines what needs to happen for any kind of peaceful future to become possible in Afghanistan.
A U.S. sergeant's slaying of 16 Afghan civilians could not only stall U.S. efforts to negotiate with the Taliban, but give the group more public support ahead of U.S. combat troop withdrawal next year, according to Asia Society experts.
The acclaimed historian relates how he came to co-curate an Asia Society Museum exhibition, and explains his ongoing fascination with the late Mughal era.
Several Asian nations held up the rear of a Gallup poll released yesterday measuring Americans' favorability toward foreign countries.
Leading Pakstani journalist Ahmed Rashid lays out America's options with Pakistan and Afghanistan in the post-Bin Laden years.
Contrasts between the way some diplomatic topics are thought about on opposite sides of the Pacific can be striking, and these different worldviews can complicate meetings between leaders, writes Jeffrey Wasserstrom.
Afghanistan expert and Asia Society Associate Fellow Thomas Gouttierre says non-military job creation is key to a successful exit for the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

My dad is currently the highest weight he's ever been, and this while he counts every calorie by eating nothing but lean cuisine-type frozen dinners and 100 calorie packs of, you guessed it, chocolate snack cakes and twinkies and cookies and shit. He's recently gone even more "healthy" by getting a juicer and making a huge sugary fruit blend every morning. And he wonders why he is always tired and has acid reflux and can't sleep through the night, in addition to high blood pressure and being overweight with a huge pregnant belly. But he counts calories! How could this infallible system fail!
I've managed to convince him to go low-carb, but he's still saying he's going to use it just to lose weight and then switch to something more "moderate" with more exercise when he's lighter so he can go back to eating sugary snack cakes again. Sigh..

This Must Be the Place
A film by Paolo Sorrentino starring Sean Penn, Frances McDormand and Judd Hirsch
A bored, retired rock star sets out to find the man responsible for his father's humiliation, an ex-Nazi war criminal who is a refugee in the U.S.
Cheyenne (Sean Penn) is a former rock star. At 50, he still dresses 'Goth' and lives in Dublin off his royalties. The death of his father, with whom he wasn't on speaking terms, brings him back to New York where he discovers his father had an obsession: to seek revenge for a humiliation he had suffered. Cheyenne decides to pick up where his father left off, and starts a journey across America to finish what his late father started.
Chasing Ice
A film by Jeff Orlowski starring James Balog, Svavar Jonatansson and Adam LeWinter
As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality.
It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
In the spring of 2005, National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change and a cynic about the nature of academic research. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.
Sing-a-Long Trapped in the Closet
In Trapped in the Closet, R. Kelly's classic hip hopera, Kels takes on the role of Sylvester, who has a simple one-night stand with a preacher's wife and then ends up in a web of preposterous lies and a series of outlandish plot twists ranging from used rubbers on his bed to an asthmatic midget male stripper who likes to hang out with a white chick named Bridget. Throughout all of these misadventures, the drama is played as fiercely straight as R. Kelly, and the tale is told through rhyme after rhyme after rhyme.
Over the years, some audiences have hailed Trapped in the Closet as the "Plan 9 From Outer Space of music videos," while others have recognized it as the masterpiece from our generation's greatest living R&B legend. But whichever camp you fall into, one thing is certain – there will be no better cinematic event this year than singing and dancing and playing with props in a theater full of other R. Kelly fans at the fully interactive R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet Sing-Along.
Trapped in the Closet
A film by R. Kelly and Jim Swaffield starring R. Kelly, Cat Wilson, and Rolando Boyce
"So I pulled out my beretta…"
In R. Kelly's classic hip hopera, Kels takes on the role of Sylvester, who has a simple one-night stand with a preacher's wife and then ends up in a web of preposterous lies and a series of outlandish plot twists ranging from used rubbers on his bed to an asthmatic midget male stripper who likes to hang out with a white chick named Bridget. Throughout all of these misadventures, the drama is played as fiercely straight as R. Kelly, and the tale is told through rhyme after rhyme after rhyme. And y'all get to singalong to line after line after line.
Miami Connection
A film by Y.K. Kim, Woo-sang Park starring Y.K. Kim, Vincent Hirsch and Joseph Diamand
The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida's narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sounds have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit "Against the Ninja," Mark (kung-fu master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world's smelliest underbelly. It'll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sounds can't stop until they've completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the "stupid cocaine"…and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!!!
Holy Motors
A film by Leos Carax starring Denis Lavant
After an almost 13-year hiatus, Leos Carax, director of the cult classic Pola X, is back and in rare form. Sci-fi, avant garde film, performance art or simply a mad journey into the darkness of the virtual world?
Holy Motors is a hypnotic and unforgettable look into the life of one Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant) who, over the course of a 24-hour period, transforms himself from a captain of industry to an old woman to a leprechaun lulled to sleep in the arms of a supermodel (Eva Mendes).
These are just a few of the eleven personas he adopts while being chauffeured around the city by his dedicated driver Celine (Edith Scob) and all at the direction of an unnamed "agency". Monsieur Oscar moves through the night seeking peace ever wary and always changing. Strange and surreal, Holy Motors, defies explanation and invites us to sit back and enjoy an inexplicable, weird, wonderful night of surprises, questions and breathtaking imagery.
Search For Beauty
A film by Erle C. Kenton starring Buster Crabbe, Ida Lupino, and Robert Armstrong
Larry "Buster" Crabbe and Ida Lupino (in her American screen debut!) are a pair of Olympians duped into running a nudie rag dressed up as a fitness magazine. When the two want out to start something a bit more wholesome, their patrons have other ideas. This playfully dirty comedy runs true to the tabloid at the story's center, often making the film an excuse to parade cheese – and beefcakes – around.

Several weeks ago, you ran several letters concerning the protest of Planned Parenthood.
One compelling letter from a lady in Happy strongly supported a "woman's right to choose," to terminate a pregnancy when a number of potential conditions, which she described, existed. Her letter really made me ponder my pro-life views.
Here is a real-life situation: In the 1980s, Pam and Bob were a young couple on the mission field when Pam became pregnant. She was diagnosed with a medical condition that could be treated only with drugs that risked harming her unborn child. To avoid "irreparable damage" to her baby, doctors suggested an abortion.
Pam refused. Despite doctors' predictions, Tim was born completely healthy. Today, Pam and Bob Tebow - and the Florida Gators - are glad they didn't abort Tim, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner!
Of the 49 million who never lived to realize their potential, imagine the number of future leaders, inventors, doctors and even Heisman Trophy winners among them.
Thank you, Pam and Bob, for giving Tim the gift of life and letting the rest of us share in your joy watching him on the field. I will always be pro-life.

Roach Believes Chavez Will End Up With Robert Garcia
By Rick Reeno
Trainer Freddie Roach told BoxingScene.com that he believes former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32KOs) will retain the services of Robert Garica, who trains a solid stable of fighters in Oxnard, California.
Chavez hired Roach a few years ago, and their training camps have been chaotic at times. The last camp, which directly contributed to Chavez's twelve round decision loss to Sergio Martinez in September, was one of the worst training experiences in Roach's career. Chavez skipped numerous training sessions and often ignored Roach's advice.
After the loss to Martinez, Chavez tested positive for marijuana. He appears before the Nevada State Athletic Commission on February 28. The NSAC will issue an undetermined fine and suspension on the date of the hearing.
Roach has not heard from anyone with respect to training Chavez again. It's an open secret that Julio tried to hire veteran coach Nacho Beristain, but the two parties were unable to reach a financial agreement.
Roach was advised that strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, and Chavez's manager Billy Keane, were trying to get Chavez hooked in with Garcia.
"I havent heard from anyone. I heard they were trying to hire Nacho. I said Nacho wouldn't put up with his bullsh*t. I honestly think that he'll end up in Oxnard, because Alex Ariza was up there kissing ass. Alex was down there with him, and Billy Keane. They are trying to get someone to train him, but they've had no luck so far. I would love to train him if he comes to the gym every day, but if it's going to be like last time - don't bother me," Roach told BoxingScene.com.
Ariza, who is currently in Mexico training Chavez and has no idea who the boxer will select as his trainer, told BoxingScene:
"I'm sorry that Freddie feels that way, but it's not my decision. I have no say on who Julio picks as his trainer," Ariza said.
Jr. has the genetics man but he lacks everything in that head of his. I don't think it matters who trains Jr. because its his way or no way, like a baby...but that's how it is when you grow up…Comment by Dr Rumack on 02-06-2013
Garcia couldn't make it much more obvious that he wants to train him anyway. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.Comment by Boxing Bob on 02-06-2013
[QUOTE=Russian Crushin;12999380]Garcia is going to find rios and Jr devouring Taco Bell and smoking a joint in the back of the gym, daily[/QUOTE] Six months ago, you posted "Chavez Jr is the next Hagler, you heard it here first". What…Comment by Muscles72 on 02-06-2013

The group, who headlined at Summerfest last year and the Wisconsin State Fair the summer before that, are on the road this summer as part of their Summer Break Tour; some dates on the tour also include Nickelodeon popster Victoria Justice, but she's not part of the Riverside gig. »Read Full Article(2)
Players, chorus unite for soaring MSO performance
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra may have had top billing for Friday's night's concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, but the MSO Chorus members were the real stars of the evening.
Led by MSO Associate Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong, the program included three contrasting choral and/or orchestral works. Prepared by chorus director Lee Erickson, each required the chorus to flex a different set of vocal and/or choral muscles. »Read Full Article
World's Stage Theatre stages disturbing 'Phaedra's Love'
In the first scene of "Phaedra's Love" — the Sarah Kane play being staged by The World's Stage Theatre Company, under Leda Hoffmann's direction — a slovenly man is eating junk food while watching TV in the dark. Excited by on-screen violence, he unzips his pants and masturbates into a sock.
And that's just for starters. In the ensuing hour, we'll witness two sex acts, a brutal rape, a strangulation and disembowelment, two murders, an immolation of a woman who killed herself offstage and an on-stage suicide. »Read Full Article

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Acacia Brugge
Simple but nice Hotel
Having spent some time researching Hotels for a weekend in Bruges and having read every review for every Hotel we decided that simply on value for money the Acacia was the hotel.
They were very polite and emailed out a map and directions to the hotel and this proved to be a must!
The hotel is situated a two minute walk off the main square but is tucked away from the main tourist area in a pleasant sidestreet between two shopping streets.
We arrived early and the room was not ready so they said to store our bags and come back later but enjoy some time in Bruges first.
We booked a Junior Suite and were allegedly upgraded to a Superior Room for our stay which to us was great but we were a little perturbed by how small the room was compared to the Junior Suite. The room was fresh and just decorated and was leagues ahead of the Junior Suite (which did smell smokey and was a bit faded in decor) but as I said small.
Overall I would visit Bruges again and might return to the Acacia for the pleasant hotel, nice staff and great continental breakfast. But would possibly look at some of the other hotels on my list that I could not get booked into this time.
Don't miss the Brujtles Bar around the corner open from 4.00pm with over 300 types of beer! And for traditional yet brilliant food in a lovely atmosphere visit the "Vlamishce Pot" Right out the hotel to the main street, left at the waffle bar and 200 yards up the road you will see a side street with the restaurant visible.
Have fun ,we did....but bring comfy walking shoes and an umbrella!
Best stay at Bestwestern Premier Acacia
I found this hotel and made the reservation on the internet. When we arrived into Bruges and came upon the hotel we found it right away what we were looking fore. We had an incredible 2 level spotlessly clean modern room with high windows, and a sizable loft bedroom and bath/shower + separate WC upstairs. The downstairs room was HUGE as a living area.
A lovely full champagne-breakfast is served in a dining room on the main floor and is included in the price !
Korte Zilverstraat is just in the very center of Bruges,close to Market Square, museums and shopping streets. For the price they ask, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
20% discount for early booking, you can't get better
My partner and I travelled to this hotel on 15Oct05 for, unfortunatly, only two nights.
We were looking for a hotel to explore the city from so were pleasently surprised when we arrived at this great hotel. The lobby was lovely, large, airy, marble and spotlessly clean. Check- in staff were fantastic and very helpfull. The room was quite large, perfect for us with a lovely full bathroom, separate toilet and very comfortable bed.
The sauna and swimming pool, all free to clients, are situated on the ground floor and are great for a city hotel: the sauna is more than large enough and we were lucky to be the only people in it. The bar in the hotel was busy untill late and has lovely comfy seats, the beer and wine is not expensive at all and for the spirits we got standard a double portion!
Champagne-breakfast was the best I've had in Europe, so much choice. I'm a vegetarian and found lots from scrambled egg and cheese on toast to yogurt ,fruit , cereal etc and my partner had mainly bacon and egg. Also plenty of fresh orange juice, hot chocolate and various tea's and coffees.
Acacia is locate very near to the Market Square and in a great shopping area. We travelled around the whole city so easily from this hotel. On departure day we left our luggage in our car in our private garage under the hotel and went off to explore as it's so quick to get back to from anywhere. Would stay at this hotel anytime I was in Bruges whether for leisure or bussiness as had a great time. would say it's certainly one of the best Bestwestern hotels ever stayed.
Great welcome, Great Staff, Great location - Great Hotel
Check in was 15.00 but arrived early at 9.00!. Reception staff gave us a great welcome and our room was already available. What a suprise we had ,a junior suite with kitchen / living and outdoor space and an upstairs bedroom, bathroom & seperate toilet. NB: very steep open plan staircase with open sides - no good for restricted mobility or children. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in, didn't wake up with 'ironing board' back next morning. And joy - an opening skylight window - fresh air in the bedroom all night as well. The room was very clean, although the powder blue upholstery on sofa and chairs was slightly grubby but the delightful pation with table and chairs more than made up for this. Free supply of tea/coffee/ chocolate/ milk, etc on each landing for use in rooms. Great breakfast, in very grand breakfast / dining room, with huge selection of hot & cold food, fruit , fresh bread- even champagne and freshly squeezed orange juice. Staff again were very friendly and obliging.
Even the parrot in the reception (which is allowed to exercise out of its cage)is friendlyand shouts hello. Hotel is located minutes from the centre of Brugge but very quiet as fronts a narrow road. Delightful sound of tunes from the Belfry fill the bedrooms - however rest assured they are muted during the night. Building work going on almost opposite but very visitor friendly , we never heared a thing. Will certainly be going back and would highly recommend.
Best price/quality/location
The Hotel: very beautiful from the out- and the inside; it is a lovely, well-kept hotel. We were very impressed
The Rooms: again, beautiful rooms, well appointed, large and very clean
The Staff: friendly, helpful, knowledgable and everyone I dealt with had a good command of English, which was much appreciated.
The Food: the hotel serves only breakfast which is included in the price of the room, but it was very good quality food, lots of variety...there is even champagne. The dining area is very nice, just like bar and other public areas.
The Area: it's just the most central place in Bruges. There were several good to very good restaurants in the area, market square and most important chopping-streets are just begint the corner, spacious own car parking facilities at the hotel, etc..
Others: Very safe area, free internet, very good arrangements like the romantic one we booked (see more on there website
Only 50 m. from market square, main shopping streets and tourist attractions
Best quality/price for the interior, rooms, breakfast, sauna and underground private garages.
Verry friendly and helpfully people.
Out of Date
Just back from staying in the Best Western Premier Acacia in Brugge. This was supposed to be 4* hotel. Location was great and staff friendly. Breakfast was nice. However rooms were very dated and had bad 'old' smell. Bad layout of bathrooms and you could not see the tv from the bed - and chairs were uncomfortable. Really dark rooms and bed didn't look very inviting. Pool was tiny and very cold as was jacuzzi. No changing rooms and toilet room at pool area had saloon type door which you could see into from the pool - would not recommend this hotel - way over priced
Quiet Hotel, Good location
The hotel faces a quiet street but is close to the action in Brugge. Staff was freindly and gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation. The breakfast room and bar area were all laid out nicely. Free internet access in the lobby but the background music is a continually repeating jazz rendition of "Light My Fire". Relaxing at first but finally annoying. Rooms are large and comfortable. Small indoor pool area with an above ground spa. Rec room only contained a billiard table (the kind with no pockets) mostly useless. There is a large building construction project across the narrow street which was not in process over the weekend.
Nice hotel in great location
Nice hotel in great location. Nice big rooms, well equipped, and clean, with some charm. Very quiet.
Ideal location, in the for the town centre, and just round the corner from some great bars, and the Hobbit restaurant, which was fantastic.
There's a pool, but didn't see it.
Would definitely stay there again, as we had a great time.
Old Town Charm
Great location in the heart of the old town. The Acacia is a great old building with period decor and a crazy parrot in the lobby. The Junior Suites were good value and very spacious and quiet, my only criticisms would be that the decor in the rooms was a bit "80s" and the kitchenette was uneccesary in a town of so many great eating options and pretty ugly. Hotel staff were really good and the bar was pleasant.

Super Racing
Exclusive interview: Chris Munce on his return to race riding after throat cancer treatment
- From: The Courier-Mail
- April 04, 2013
CHRIS Munce was so sick and downcast, he thought he might never ride again.
Never mind tasting Melbourne Cup or Cox Plate glory, he couldn't even taste his breakfast.
The champion Queensland jockey will return to Eagle Farm next Wednesday, two months ahead of schedule, and is optimistic he has beaten throat cancer, although he's yet to get the all-clear.
The happy character who posed for family pictures for The Courier-Mail yesterday, alongside his wife Cathy and three children, is a far cry from the shattered soul of a few months ago.
Munce's steely resolve was pierced by seven weeks of gruelling radiation and chemotherapy and he now admits he fell on dark times and thought he might never get back in the saddle.
"Giving up my career certainly went through my head and I had several conversations with Cathy about it," he said.
"I felt quite down and a bit depressed to a point. And that was beside being so sick with all the cancer treatment. I was in a bad space as far as how I was feeling.
"You have got to be mentally strong to cop having cancer. It is easier said than done to try to be positive all of the time."
The wheel turned for Munce towards the end of his treatment, after a period of living on soup and jelly, when his tastebuds were shot by the cancer-fighting drugs.
The jockey, who has won Melbourne and Caulfield Cups, the Cox Plate and two Golden Slippers, slowly picked up his strength and his passion for riding returned.
"The first few months when I was quite ill, racing didn't faze me one way or the other," he says.
"As I started to pick up my health and fitness and watch more races on TV, that is when the fire started to burn inside me."
Munce, 43, still faces an uncertain future. He will not know for sure if he has beaten the cancer until next month, when doctors will do specialised scans. There are positive signs though, that the ordeal which started late last year when his dentist told him of a swelling in his left tonsil, may be behind him.
A personal training regime in the past few weeks has made him fit and healthy to the point where he is returning to race riding well ahead of his Brisbane Winter Carnival goal.
"I'm not a doctor but I feel really well," Munce says.
"I will go back for a scan in a few months and that will be the determining factor of how successful all this treatment has been. That is out of my control really. All I can do is carry on life as normal and keep moving forward."
Munce is likely to have only a couple of rides next week as he takes a slow and steady approach to his comeback.
One of his rides could be for his wife, Cathy, who is a part-owner of Snippets Caviar which is likely to be nominated for the meeting.

Yeah, I could imagine. I'm not the best C programmer in the world (if libvirt were only in Python..... :D), so I'm afraid that my ability to offer up a patch is limited.

Goop sank Vanity Fair
Why did Vanity Fair spike a cover story about acclaimed actor and controversial public personality Gwyneth Paltrow?
In a 1,500-word cover essay, magazine editor Graydon Carter tiptoes around an explanation for killing a story that was to take a look at the reasons Gwyn is so loved by some and so utterly loathed by others. (Us Weekly last year dubbed her the "most hated celebrity.")
Carter found himself in a tight spot, London's Guardian reports, when Gwyn called for her fellow celebs to shun the magazine. "Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine without my participation," she e-mailed friends, the Guardian says. "I recommend you all never do this magazine again."
