This IDC Energy Insights report explores the potential for gamified applications in the energy sector by analyzing real-world pioneering and innovative gamification projects. It focuses on how gamification can be leveraged to engage consumers to realize energy efficiencies, improve peak response, build customer loyalty, and acquire new customers in energy competitive markets.
Gamification is expected to develop into a multibillion-dollar market. By 2014, IDC Energy Insights expects worldwide utilities IT spending for gamification tools, applications, and services to be approximately $13.5 million, rising to $65 million in 2016. IDC Energy Insights also expects that by 2016, 60% of progressive worldwide energy retailers will utilize at least one gamified application.
"With all the hype surrounding gamification, of which some is rightly deserved, factors such as how well these mechanisms work over the long term or the level of appetite and patience that audiences will have when faced with a plethora of gamified applications vying for their attention, remain to be seen. However, it provides an interesting avenue for further investigation and research," says Adam Ajzensztejn, senior research analyst, IDC Energy Insights, EMEA.

Review: 'Community' - 'An Alternative History of the German Invasion': This means war
A quick review of tonight's "Community" coming up just as soon as I take a provisional Lactaid...
"An Alternative History of the German Invasion" was, as you can probably tell from the stories (the first day of classes, an immediate follow-up to the "Changnesia" gag from the premiere), designed and produced as the season's second episode, but held until now. Sometimes, episodes air out of order because they require extra time to complete ("Remedial Chaos Theory," the video game episode), while other times, they get held because someone (the producers, the network, or both) fear that it's not working and want to air stronger episodes ahead of it.
This definitely seems like an example of the latter. I haven't been crazy about any of this season's previous episodes for various reasons, but I've at least laughed at them in spots. This one, though, barely elicited a few minor chuckles, and featured several jokes (notably the study group's simultaneous scream at the presence of Chang) that simply made me cringe.
There have been unfunny episodes of "Community" before, but most of the time they work on some level either because they're doing something structurally interesting, because they're going deeper into the emotional lives of the characters, or both. ("Mixology Certification" is a fine example of this, and even that had more overt laughs.) This, though, was a pretty basic campus hijinks episode, which meant that if I wasn't laughing at the many German jokes (which felt like taking a minor but amusing element from the foosball episode and leaning much too heavily on it), at Pierce electrocuting himself, etc., there was nothing left to lean on. Even the attempts to show how the study group have been historically evil didn't entirely work, because they're only occasionally that selfish. (As Todd VanDerWerff notes in his review, using the D&D episode — which was explicitly about the group trying to help out another student — as an example of them being jerks rang very false.)
Again, this was the second episode made by this creative team, and a good chunk of it had to be spent on cleaning up the mess they were handed in terms of Chang. Hopefully things will improve as the season moves along. But this was just a bad episode of "Community."
What did everybody else think?
Community, Joel McHale, Moses Port, David Guarascio, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Chevy Chase, Ken Jeong, Jim Rash, Alan Sepinwall
Jason (guest)Might have worked if Nick Kroll was back as one of the Germans.
That said, I did enjoy it. No, it's not giving me the same sense of wonder that Dan Harmon's ambition provided. But I did laugh at Abed picking up on Dean Pelton's Abed-like scream/squeal.
Overall, the sense that I've gotten from Community: Medical School is that it feels a little like early Season 1 Community (when Troy was still the jock, etc.), before Harmon started taking it in weird and fantastic directions.February 28, 2013 at 11:49PM ESTReply to Comment
qrterAgreed on this feeling like an early season 1 episode. It was just really, really mediocre.
The Germans just make me cringe, they're beyond caricatures, and they weren't very funny the first time around.
I think I laughed once, at the Pierce/Shirley exchange when he got electocuted (S: "Just let go!" P: "You'd like that, wouldn't you!" S: "Of the thing, Pierce..")March 1, 2013 at 10:30PM EST
pamelajayeI just like the :Medical School allusion :-)
I liked the flashbacks but haven't seen or memorized past eps to know the motivation in the past, so- good. I really liked the pointing out that this one group has hogged one room for 4 years (although it wasn't as good as the scene where Jeff discovers they have lockers. I LOVED that (and was kind enough to pause DVR till my brother could breathe again)March 2, 2013 at 3:42AM EST
Luckylucy (guest)Couldn't agree more. I missed this show so much during hiatus and every episode so far has been more and more disappointing. Such a waste of a super likable and incredibly talented cast. Love your articles and especially your podcast!February 28, 2013 at 11:50PM ESTReply to Comment
Streets AheadTwo problems:
1) This Chang storyline is HORRIBLE. At the end of the third season, they showed him hiding in the vents at City College, with Dean Spreck rolling tanks over to Greendale. I thought there was going to be some awesome war between them.
Instead...this? Kevin? Changnesia? What the hell is this? Ken Jeong is getting less to do than Chevy Chase, and it seems that they no longer know what to do with the old Spanish professor/tyrant.
2) No Nick Kroll as one of the Germans? He was the best part in the foosball episode. I imagine he had some kind of scheduling conflict, but still. Nick Kroll > replacement.February 28, 2013 at 11:53PM ESTReply to Comment
Jeff GI think I'm being objective here and I would feel the same way if I didn't know Harmon had left, but the show just has no soul anymore. It's so flat. Kindof remarkable given the same cast and some of the same writers. Very disappointing.February 28, 2013 at 11:55PM ESTReply to Comment

Jonas.LeftI really wish I had thought of the Pet Sematary metaphor. It sums it all up perfectly. Especially with that quote.
Now I'm off to plagiarize it in another forum.March 1, 2013 at 6:27PM EST
Shelb (guest)This was by far the best episode of the 4th season. Funnier, more true to the characters, a lot of subtle jokes... while obviously not on the level it once was, it was the most "Harmon-like" episode so far this year.February 28, 2013 at 11:56PM ESTReply to Comment
ChrisAgreed. I thought the writing of Abed was a little off, but otherwise was fairly true to the characters. Still, you know Harmon would have done a better spoof of war movies.March 1, 2013 at 12:17AM EST
CinemaPsychoHere's the thing: did the other characters KNOW they were helping another character in the D&D episode? Probably not. They just saw them hogging the study room, AGAIN. That's what they're reacting to.
I was skeptical about the premiere, but since then, the show has made me laugh and has felt like Community again. That's all I can ask for. "It's like a Darren Aranofsky film" made me laugh HARD. That's not a dumbed-down joke. Come on guys, this is far better than no Community at all.March 1, 2013 at 3:03AM EST
BrandonTHIS. I definitely agree, this felt the most like the first three seasons. Plenty of clever callbacks and great one-liners ("that looks like almost a hundred luftballoons!"), plus finally Abed is able to just act like Abed instead of the show leaning so heavily on "something might go wrong." I would have liked to see a little better use of the war movie motif, but otherwise definitely my favorite so far this season.March 1, 2013 at 7:02AM EST
jenfullmoonI'm with you guys: this felt like something Harmon would do. I thought the tag at the end and cleaning the bad study room was a little weak, but pointing out that our heroes are the villains in other people's stories (yes, all they knew was that the gang hogs the study room constantly) is totally Community. I liked it. Go figure.March 1, 2013 at 12:54PM EST
FinngodoGlad I'm not the odd man out here. As far as episodes go I thought this one was pretty good and on par with previous seasons. Thought te halloween one was good too.March 1, 2013 at 12:54PM EST
Peter D WilsonYeah, I don't see it. To me this was the least harmon-esque episode yet. I was literally cringing throughout the Jeff, lets give back to the school, speech. They've done something like that in the past, but when taken to this degree it rang wholly false for the Jeff Winger character.
I went into this season wanting to hate it, but I've been pleasantly surprised how not terrible the show has been. For me, though, this episode was easily the worst the show has ever done and it now has me worried of what's to come.March 2, 2013 at 8:23PM EST
I Laughed, Along With Many Others (guest)Glad you and Todd check in on each other's negative reviews to keep in sync. Strange how neither of you laughed at all but fans are quoting dozens of funny lines/moments elsewhere on the web. C'est la vie, I guess.February 28, 2013 at 11:58PM ESTReply to Comment

Jonas.LeftC'est la merde, is more like it.March 1, 2013 at 12:46AM EST
is merde italian for 'potato' ?
why did you say potato?
Jonas. Left?March 1, 2013 at 1:02AM EST
Jonas.LeftOSWALD If that's a reference, I don't know it. Merde is French for "shit."March 1, 2013 at 1:33AM EST
Well I always did thought merde = potato.
That is why you hear "merde friode francese" which means "potato fried french" aka "french fries". Or in Sopranos or any modern mafia movie if the Italian Mafia has irish rivals they call them like "Merde Munchers" or "Merde Goons" making mock on dereagoratory sterotype that Irish eat potato.
Also once at a good restraunt, an italian restraunt, I seen a dish served with a side of "merde ala mode" and it came with a potato mashed up.March 1, 2013 at 3:40AM EST
Jonas.LeftOSWALD The original poster used the phrase "C'est la vie." French for "that's life." I cleverly replaced "vie" with "merde," the French word for excrement. I just found some usage of merde in the culinary context, so I guess in Italian its meaning is different. It must be jarring for the French to go into Italian restaurants and be offered shit.March 1, 2013 at 4:16AM EST
LoopyChewThe problem with that, Jonas.Left, is that "C'est la merde" means "It's THE s***," much like it is in English. I think.March 1, 2013 at 4:32AM EST
Jonas.LeftLOOPYCHEW According to Google Translate "C'est la merde" means "This is shit."March 1, 2013 at 4:55AM EST
Jonas.LeftWhat does it say about me that this discussion has had me giggling like a schoolgirl?March 1, 2013 at 5:07AM EST
InvitéBeing French, I can tell you that usually, depending on the context, C'est la merde would be interpreted as 'We're in deep shit' by a French person. Jonas.left's translation is also correct, though a bit too much literal.
Living next to the Italian border, I've never heard of the use of merde in any of the fine restaurants I've had the pleasure to eat (but that's my own experience).
Be that as it may, even with the wrong translation Jonas.left's play on words can be seen as "clever", my use of quotes and propensity to teach an unnecessary lesson testify of my French smugness, and Italians are possibly the snarkiest people of all.March 1, 2013 at 9:31AM EST
Jonas.LeftINVITÉ Thanks for your expertise. It may have been lost in the text, but I was being tounge-in-cheek when I described my play on words as clever. I totally recognize it was a bit childish.March 1, 2013 at 3:00PM EST
Jacob (guest)I disagree, this was my favourite episode of the season. It felt like the first season, my favorite season. The jokes were more subtle, but still great.March 1, 2013 at 12:04AM ESTReply to Comment
Bryan-a (guest)This just makes me sad, these new show runners just don't get who these characters are so they became caricatures.March 1, 2013 at 12:19AM ESTReply to Comment
elodiaSorry - Harmon made them caricatures long before this episode. Massively stupid Troy? Dumb clueless Britta? Ridiculous cross-dressing Dean Pelton? Babyish sexpot Annie? Check, check, check, check.
The new episodes may be uninspired, but Harmon ran the whole series into the ground long before this. Blame him.March 1, 2013 at 12:25AM EST
SlushyMany of the characters already became caricatures during Harmon's run. The only major offender I see this season is with Dean Pelton. They have been relying way too much on his cross dressing to the point of annoyance. There is also something off about Abed -- he's erring too much on the normal side. Other than that, I feel like the characters are the same characters.March 1, 2013 at 1:46AM EST
Call Me Carlos the DwarfElodia: The only correct description was of Dean Pelton, and that joke was more about his crush on Jeff than his cross-dressing.
Britta is the worst, but she's never been clueless.
Troy isn't massively stupid, he's generally a goofy kid, but he's also a damn good mechanic.
And your criticism of Annie is so far-fetched that I have to assume that you took the "boop de doop sex!" scene from last year's Glee episode unironically.March 1, 2013 at 3:39AM EST
Jonas.LeftEach of the principle characters has a larger than life personality but none of them was a caricature. They all have unexpected depths, hidden dimensions, complicated histories that make them feel like real people despite the fact that they exist in an exaggerated reality. At least that was the case for three years. This new show doesn't know how to bring those characters back to life, so we get these superficial stand-ins in their place. Over the first three seasons, the members of the study group would get to show new aspects of themselves, now the show just has them repeating the same notes over and over, even if it forces the character to regress to places they'd moved past in previous stories. Plus, they've forgotten how to bring a new character to life. This season hasn't given us a Todd or a Fat Neil. Think back to the season two finale when they had lots of minor characters, some that had only appeared once before, who were distinct and funny. The people writing this season don't seem to know how to do that. When Malcom McDowell fails to make much of an impression, its obvious the material he got was pretty lame.March 1, 2013 at 3:40AM EST
madmemeElodia: How can a creator run his creation into the ground? That's like saying Tolstoy ruined 'War and Peace' by the direction he took his characters. You might not have liked what Harmon did with HIS characters (I did) but he's not to 'blame' for anything.March 1, 2013 at 6:27AM EST
Johanna LappMadMeme asks "How Can a creator run his creation into the ground?"
Hello, did you miss Star Wars episodes 1-3? All of the Dune books after the first? Star Trek season 3? Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me?March 1, 2013 at 8:40AM EST

madmeme@Johanna Lapp - Again, whether you like what Lucas, Herbert, or Lynch did with their creations is a subjective matter and irrelevant. It was theirs to do with as they pleased - and as such, it was - and always is for the creator - valid.March 1, 2013 at 1:50PM EST

Col Bat Guano@Madmeme Regardless of the creator's intent, third party observers can certainly decide that they have ruined the characters with their choices.March 2, 2013 at 1:14AM EST
madmeme@Col B.G - I guess it might boil down to a question of semantics - and the way that audience members write about someone else's creation. It's interesting to note you wrote, '...have ruined THE characters with THEIR choices', as opposed to '...have ruined THEIR characters with THEIR choices. You might decide that Harmon 'ruined' the Community characters - I might think every choice he made for them was brilliant - which is the 'truth'? Neither - except to ourselves. Again, I can fully understand disliking the choices that creators make - that is the crux of subjective criticism - but using a phrase like 'running into the ground' implies an understanding of what the correct trajectory was 'supposed to be' for someone else's work that seems impossible. OTOH, if we're discussing what Guarascio and Port are doing to Harmon's creation - that's a whole different kettle of fish.March 2, 2013 at 7:26AM EST
StuckeyI didn't find it bad at all. I think if we didn't know Dan Harmon, then our perception of the show wouldn't have changed much. Maybe it would feel different if it's the end of the season and there's been no KFC/Apollo 13 movie or a Dinner with Abed episode to combat the "normal" goings of Greendale, and that sucks, but this is still a good show. Considering how bad Modern Family is and that Phil Dunphy is the only moderately amusing part of that "great" sitcom, I think we should cling to Community as the situation has called for the last 2 years and make it hard for NBC to ignore it.
So this season, right now, with us seeing roughly 1/3 of the season has been good enough for me and while it may never reach the height of creativity and genius of the last 3, it's still much better than 97% of other shows.
I think we should be thankful that we're getting these 13 and maybe the new producers will show us they got it together in the last 5 or 6 episodes after they the beats of the show. And if they don't get another season, then be glad we got 13 more stories with these actors and characters. If they get Chuck'd and get more opportunities, then we'll come to that when it gets here. Otherwise, it seems we're looking a gift horse in the mouth.March 1, 2013 at 12:27AM ESTReply to Comment
MulderismI go mental when someone makes the argument that something is good because something else is bad. Just because A is better than B doesn't mean A is good.
This was a so-so episode. A few laughs but otherwise not great. If the show was like this the first season I doubt I'd stick around.March 1, 2013 at 2:51PM EST
StuckeyOK, I'll break it down better, would you rather watch the last 4 episodes of this season or watch 4 episodes of most CBS sitcoms or New Normal?March 1, 2013 at 3:02PM EST
MulderismI'll break it down even better. Would you rather eat cat poo, dog poo or horse poo? Whether one may be better than the other, at the end of he day they're all POO!
To answer your question I'd watch none of them if they were bad. Community is still on the fence for me.March 1, 2013 at 3:17PM EST
StuckeyWell, obviously some people don't think it's poo and enjoy it in whatever watered down state it may currently be in. And some don't and that's fine. But the same complaints are being made by the same people in the last 4 weeks and it's probably time for a break from reviewing it or talking about it in depth until it does something noteworthy again, whether that's a new episode that works, cancellation or renewal. But for now I'm an apologist for the show and probably won't be reading past the first paragraph of any review/recap for while.March 1, 2013 at 3:37PM EST
Char (guest)I thought this was the best so far this season.March 1, 2013 at 12:29AM ESTReply to Comment
srpadThis was the first episode of the new season I would call bad. even just the rhythms were off. Britta's line to Abed about dairy sounded like it came from a parody of a sitcom, and not a good parody like we got in the first episode.March 1, 2013 at 12:32AM ESTReply to Comment
mark (guest)I actually thought this was the best episode of the season, which isnt saying much because it still wasn't great.
Its hard to pinpoint whats different but one thing is it seems they dont commit to bits or parodies as hard as Harmon did. This ep had a war documentary type thing going on for a few minutes and then it was done and forgotten. While the old Pillow blanket fort war ep committed to the war documentary bit the whole episode and worked much better instead of just jumping in the shallow end of bit after bit which makes the pacing feel wierd too.
But I still thought it was decent.March 1, 2013 at 12:39AM ESTReply to Comment
BigDerfWhoever was writing this episode very clearly had assumed Kroll would just be available, and it suffers from that. I mean, the rest of the episode is still mostly bad, but bringing back the Germans without Kroll is just stupid, as he was the figurehead for all three characters at the time. I mean, unless they never actually watched the episode.
I mean, there are several things in this episode that really do make you wonder how much Community these writers have actually seen. Choosing to set the past study group scenes as parts of "Cooperative Calligraphy" and "Advanced D&D" is very clearly a choice based on the popularity of those episodes, since they don't actually make much sense for the spot. "D&D", as mentioned, occurs when they are saving Fat Neil's life, and "Calligraphy" occurs when the whole campus is at the Puppy Parade. The Dean literally makes an announcement of the fact that the whole campus is at the parade.
This whole Changnesia BS also ignores the clear plot thread left for Chang to be working for City College, unless it's a ridiculous set up for such a joke. And thinking about it.... if it is, that might actually be worse.
And the Troy And Abed Podcast? WTF? Seriously.... WTF? Who was sitting in the writers room and thought "What if they just got a podcast? I mean, thats the most efficient way to ruin the whole joke of the fact that 'Troy And Abed In The Morning' is not a real show"March 1, 2013 at 12:49AM ESTReply to Comment
Lee Harvey (guest)I'm with the people who said that this was the best episode of the season. Sure, the Chang story is weak, but the rest was pretty damn good. And I missed Kroll at first, but the Germans were effective anyway.March 1, 2013 at 12:50AM ESTReply to Comment
JoeDillyThought this was a very poor episode. I haven't been wild about the new season, but this was the first one that really got me down about the future of the show. Everything felt flat, the Germans bit was too much and just forced, and Chang... I actually found myself wondering how much better the show would have been if Ken Jeong just disappeared after season 2, because they clearly don't know what to do with him anymore. He was incredible in season 1, just a shame.
Bottom line: when Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs in dirndls can't salvage an episode, you know you have problems.March 1, 2013 at 12:53AM ESTReply to Comment
Goodwin (guest)I enjoyed this episode. But now I'm sad, because I think I need to give up on Community reviews. Usually I love to come to places like here or the AV Club to read episode reviews and often even learn some new spin on a joke or discover a fact I had never considered. But now these just aren't fun anymore. The reviewers seem so bitter, and then the comment threads are just back and forth with people arguing about whether the show is terrible without Dan Harmon or whether people only think its terrible because they know Dan Harmon is not involved anymore. Where Community has often found humor in deconstructing pop culture, I feel like these reviews and the resulting comment threads have now become more about deconstructing the desconstruction of the reviews. The Community reviews and comments have now become more meta than the show itself, and I don't think I can take it. I'm going to go back to just watching and enjoying the show.March 1, 2013 at 12:55AM ESTReply to Comment
People have a right to be bitter when the creator, showrunner, and creative driver behind the heart and soul of their favorite show is fired from the show. It is impossible not to notice that the show is different. It'd be like if a new author wrote the final Harry Potter book, or Vince Gilligan left Breaking Bad. When a show has a unique energy and a particular quality, you can not remove the creator and expect the prior qualities to remain.
I still think the show is good, and I love the cast, but the tone of the show is absolutely undeniably different without Harmon.March 1, 2013 at 1:06AM EST
TheOneWhoKnocksThis +1million.
Love reading sepinwalls reviews and the comments because they usually enhance the experience but now I find myself enjoying the show yet all the negative reactions are only bringing me down. The show may never hit the highs of the first few seasons(most comedies are downhill after the first 3 seasons regardless of writer change) but I still feel like its community and I still feel like its one of the best comedies on TVMarch 1, 2013 at 1:07AM EST
SlushyAgreed. I usually enjoy reading Community reviews. But now it's all just complaining that it's not the same as before.
There are issues yes, but I still enjoy Community over most other comedies out there.March 1, 2013 at 1:41AM EST
Former HitFix ReaderAgreed. Now these reviews just make me sad after watching an episode that made me happy. I'll just stick with watching and enjoying.March 1, 2013 at 1:46AM EST
CinemaPsychoNo one is saying it's exactly the same as it was with Harmon. It CAN'T be exactly the same. But the situation is what it is. All I ask is that it feels relatively close enough that I can still enjoy it, that it doesn't feel like I'm watching something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. For 3 out of 4 episodes, they have managed to do that for me. I would rather have that than no show at all.
Of course it's going to be slightly different without Harmon. Harmon had a distinctive voice that is no longer there. The question you have to ask yourself is, do you STILL enjoy the show as it is now? This is what the show is now. I would never tell people to stop watching, but you have to decide for yourself whether or not you can accept what the show is without Harmon. I still enjoy it and I'm glad it's still there, for however long it lasts. If you can't enjoy it, maybe you need to consider whether or not it is still for you.March 1, 2013 at 3:18AM EST
Call Me Carlos the DwarfMy issue isn't that it's different from Harmon, per se.
My issue is that they're doing their absolute best to imitate the "what" of Harmon's show, with loads of super, super self-consciously meta jokes and ending voiceovers that make Scrubs look cynical, but they don't have a handle on the "why" of it.
When the jokes didn't land the last three seasons Harmon could usually carry it with the consistently great character work. Now they need the jokes to distract from the fact that they have no idea how to write for the characters, and they haven't been landing.March 1, 2013 at 3:55AM EST
RobertIn other words, a lot of you only appreciated reading Sepinwall and VanDeWerff's critical analysis when you agreed with it. This is a moment for reflection, and you've chosen denial. Good work.March 1, 2013 at 4:18AM EST
SlushyI wouldn't call it denial. I would call it acceptance. Many of us have accepted that Community is different. Rather than *hoping* that the next episode will magically become Harmonesque and then repeatedly feel disappointed and complain about it, we've decided to enjoy it for what it is. Granted, four episodes is still early in the season, so the complaints are still somewhat fresh, but I'm not holding my breath that we'll get another one of the transcendent Community episodes.March 1, 2013 at 6:12AM EST
OliverIt sounds like you want a cheerleader rather than a reviewer.March 1, 2013 at 10:29AM EST
jenfullmoonYeah, I'm in the acceptance camp. We can't have a Dan Harmon Community any more, period. Never gonna happen. Frankly, I'll take "good enough" and so far, I think they are doing the best they can. This could be a lot worse, truly. I'm sure we can all think of other shows where they changed showrunners and then everything went to hell (Sliders, anyone?). Compared to this, you know what, I'll live. They are trying to live up to the spirit of Dan's Community, even if nobody has access to his special brand of crazy to make things as wackadoo as they used to be.
And realistically speaking, the show is canceled and done after this season anyway (RUINED FOREVER), so what does it matter? I'll enjoy what I got while I still got it.March 1, 2013 at 12:59PM EST
Jon, The Earl of Hamm Sandwichwow what a great comment. you expressed the frustration that reading these reviews and comments has become to a tee. as for you robert and and oliver, you just don't get it. you say "wanting a cheerleader" but I say not wanting to listen to a bunch of heckling...particularly the kind of heckling that seems to be largely based in longing love for dan harmon vs. the actual quality of the showMarch 1, 2013 at 4:00PM EST
sepinwallMy concern with this episode had nothing to do with Dan Harmon, with characterization, or anything else. It's that it didn't make me laugh. That is a judgment of the actual quality.
You disagree. Swell. I'm glad some of you are still enjoying the show. But just as I won't accuse you of viewing these episodes through rose-colored glasses, please do not suggest that those of us who haven't enjoyed some or all of them somehow can't see the quality because of our Harmon-tinted specs.March 1, 2013 at 4:17PM EST
Goodwin (guest)I enjoyed this episode. But now I'm sad, because I think I need to give up on Community reviews. Usually I love to come to places like here or the AV Club to read episode reviews and often even learn some new spin on a joke or discover a fact I had never considered. But now these just aren't fun anymore. The reviewers seem so bitter, and then the comment threads are just back and forth with people arguing about whether the show is terrible without Dan Harmon or whether people only think its terrible because they know Dan Harmon is not involved anymore. Where Community has often found humor in deconstructing pop culture, I feel like these reviews and the resulting comment threads have now become more about deconstructing the desconstruction of the reviews. The Community reviews and comments have now become more meta than the show itself, and I don't think I can take it. I'm going to go back to just watching and enjoying the show.March 1, 2013 at 12:55AM ESTReply to Comment
Rob PollardI agree with this. It's like the internet is collapsing on itself.
I've pretty much have disagreed with all 4 of Alan's reviews this season (e.g,. I hated History 101 - easily the worst of the four this season, in my opinion) and while agreeing isn't the point of reading reviews to me (gaining possible insights/viewpoints I might have overlooked is) it seems like the critics just can't help themselves with the Harmon thing. I mean, the comment about the D&D episode being "tainted" by this one? Really? Is it not possible that an episode where they made time to include someone outside their group ALSO was a time when the group (once again) thought about themselves a bit too much while doing so (and thus held onto the conference room for too long)? Both are possible and it really isn't that complicated. One doesn't get rid of the good work they tried to do; they're flawed, just like before. But it seems like critics can't help themselves w the Harmon-fixation.
In any case, I really liked this episode and laughed out loud multiple times, rewound certain parts ~5 times and thought it was really clever. The Dean killed it, and many other characters had more than one line that made me laugh.
It's time to just relax and enjoy the show (or not, as the case may be) based on what it is, not based on some alternate universe that doesn't exist. Otherwise, it's exhausting TV watching, and that's no way watch comedy.March 3, 2013 at 11:35PM EST
Call Me Carlos the Dwarf (guest)Yeah. This Chang story looks to be worse than last season's, which at least gave us that awesome flashback episode.March 1, 2013 at 12:59AM ESTReply to Comment
stevegray (guest)Okay so I was the one a few weeks back defending the Paranormal Parentage episode, and I still stand by my defense as I've definitely really enjoyed those past 3 eps... but even I have to say that tonight's episode sucked big time. Flat joke after flat joke...annoying Germans (and "foosball and nocturnal vigilantism" is one of my many favs btw)... good theme idea for an episode ruined by it's unenthusiastic execution... turning the show on it's head in the worst possible way by claiming "advanced D&D" was part of them being selfish and "calligraphy" was too..... come on. I really hope they step it up next week. Very disappointed in the show tonight.March 1, 2013 at 1:05AM ESTReply to Comment
JB (guest)I thought it was wildly uneven but still more entertaining than the first three episodes of the season. I chuckled a few times. It still feels like no one knows how to write for these characters anymore.March 1, 2013 at 1:10AM ESTReply to Comment
NoHoGregI liked these last two episodes and thought they were the best of this season thus far, probably on par with middling Harmon-era episodes. Surprised Alan has been so down on what I think have been the most enjoyable episodes this year.March 1, 2013 at 1:12AM ESTReply to Comment
apearlmaThat was the first episode where I felt things had some serious misses as opposed to feeling flat with the other ones - there were some funny moments, but the episode wasn't pushed anywhere near far enough.March 1, 2013 at 1:25AM ESTReply to Comment
Jonas.LeftFor a few precious minutes, I started to feel like this one might be good... This show is starting to remind me of Lucy holding the football so Charlie Brown can kick it. Then she just snatches it away and he's left humiliated that he was suckered again.
The people in charge of this show don't understand the delicate balance this show needed to maintain to work. Sure the show could be silly or over the top but Pierce getting electrocuted with visible bands of electricity was cartoon bullshit. The group all screaming at once the same way they all shouted Gilbert's name in unison in the Halloween show was cartoon bullshit. Even the emotional payoff felt cartoonish, like the lame lesson that the Griffins learn on Family Guy. Every time this season tries to go for genuine feeling it falls flat because they don't know how to earn those moments. There are episodes from the first three seasons that are so poignant I teared up. This season can barely get a laugh.
I started getting depressed after the second epsiode. Now I'm getting angry. Based on what I've read of the Harmon/Chase feud it seems obvious they couldn't both stay with the show. Why in hell did they pick Chase? He's always been the weakest member of the cast. We lost the soul and voice of the show so Chevy Chase could phone in a half dozen lines an episode?
I am genuinely happy for anyone who can still enjoy this thing that Community has become. But it is time to retire this notion that if only we hadn't known Harmon was fired, we would be able to enjoy these perfectly good episodes of Community. Maybe different people liked different things about this show. Maybe some people are more attuned to the subtler differences that have happened. All I know is that this is not the show I treasured. Not even close.March 1, 2013 at 1:26AM ESTReply to Comment
StuckeyIt was never Chase over Harmon. Sure Harmon let that voicemail go public. But Harmon admits he was a poor manager of the show for Sony. The show was constantly turned in late and over budget. He's been pretty candid that he was deserving of getting fired, but it sucks because of how much he put into the show.March 1, 2013 at 2:25AM EST
Jonas.LeftSTUCKEY I haven't followed the Harmon firing as closely as a lot of other Community fans have. Google backs you up, so fair enough. I still hate Chevy Chase for how he's sabotaged this show. Its especially galling since Harmon had such dramatically better actors in mind for Pierce. Can you imagine what Patrick Stewart could have done on this show?March 1, 2013 at 3:57AM EST
CasaTrobedWell said, Jona. I am in mourning for what used to be my favorite sitcom and one of the few television shows I actually looked forward to each week. For me, Community lost all of the spark it used to have. It feels superficial, dumbed-down and forced. Rather than layers of subtle jokes and references that would make you go "Was that what I thought that was?" and a rewind. Or having to pause and rewind because you are laughing at one thing and another was in there right behind it. All the details and Easter eggs to watch for. Now it is like an instructional video. We are telling a joke now, get it?March 1, 2013 at 8:00AM EST
MulderismThey had a germ of an idea here but didn't follow through. I can imagine the lengths that Abed and Troy would go to to make sure they beat the Germans to the sign up sheet. At the very least caming out all night at the steps like they were trying to get concert tickets. It might have been funny to see them all try and one up the other in getting in line first.
Wasted opportunity.March 1, 2013 at 3:06PM EST
Jonas.LeftThanks, CASATROBED. I don't know about you, but at this point I feel like I'm watching out of an obligation to see an old friend off. My optimism is at its limit.
You're right about the joy of re-watching Community. Modern Warfare is so packed with references that I get somethimg new every time. I didn't notice "Row Boat Cop" or the famous "Abed delivers a baby storyline until second viewings.
By the way, don't take this as angry or critical because I know its unusual, but my first name is Jonas. Its Hebrew for dove. Left is a diminutive of my last name that almost no one can pronounce or spell properly, even aunts and uncles that have known it for decades.March 1, 2013 at 3:35PM EST
Sparks (guest)I don't know what show that was, but that wasn't an episode of Community.
Those jokes were so shallow and easy.March 1, 2013 at 2:12AM ESTReply to Comment
Turtle (guest)I haven't liked any of the episodes so far this season. I didn't expect the show to be that different without Harmon, but it just isn't the same now.March 1, 2013 at 2:22AM ESTReply to Comment
aamadisYeah, umm . . . Not. Funny. At. All. Bored stiff halfway through the episode.March 1, 2013 at 2:46AM ESTReply to Comment
Autumnelsie (guest)Best episode of the season so far! I wonder if the networks bumped this episode to air today as opposed to a few weeks ago because it was the most Harmon-like (and therefore "less accessible") episode. I actually laughed during this episode. I enjoyed seeing all the characters together and seeing other familiar Greendale faces. Episodes 1-3's pairing off of characters and giving them their own little subplots and sub-subplots was pretty awkward and clunky.
My only gripe would be that the ending where they all decide to fix up Greendale could have used some finessing. This episode's pretty much on par with some of the solid, but less popular episodes of previous seasons of Community.March 1, 2013 at 3:04AM ESTReply to Comment
gco211This episode was easily my least favorite of the season, but I also laughed much more than you did, as has been consistent this season. The Dean's criticism of changnesia while using a Dean-replacement was possibly my favorite pair of jokes this season.March 1, 2013 at 4:18AM ESTReply to Comment
leematsI wonder if Chris Diamantopoulos will be back for more episodes. I suspect they would not have cast a "name" in this role unless they planned on doing more with this character. Perhaps he will come between Annie and Jeff.March 1, 2013 at 4:48AM ESTReply to Comment
Travis (guest)I laughed more during this episode than I did during most of the Harmon-era ones, so I guess I'm fine with the new direction. On a related note, have people forgotten that there were far worse episodes during in the first 3 seasons?March 1, 2013 at 5:59AM ESTReply to Comment
sepinwallI'm glad you liked it, Travis. I wish I had. Out of curiosity, which episodes from earlier seasons would you consider "far worse"? I ask that not to be combative, but because I genuinely can't think of one I found less enjoyable. Even ones I didn't much like (the messiah episode, say) usually had some kind of interesting hook, or a memorable joke or three.March 1, 2013 at 8:34AM EST
MikeI thought Messiah was awful. And after the 8 bit computer game episode last season, I turned to my wife and apologized for introducing her to Community, it was so bad.March 1, 2013 at 10:03AM EST
StephenH2OManI think my least favorite episode had been last year's UN episode ("Geography of Global Conflict"), but this one probably replaces it.
I did like last week's episode, though, so at least they seem to recognize which of their episodes are better than others. That suggests they may have gotten a few of the remaining correct. I feel bad for this new team, which seems to be trying their best, but just won't ever be able to get the nuance of the Dan Harmon era. What often made it so incredible is that beneath all the jokes (many of which you'd miss without repeat viewings) there was a heart to the characters unmatched by anything this side of "Parenthood."March 1, 2013 at 11:42AM EST
ed wI enjoyed it a lot too. To pick a past episode I thought it was superior to, I'd go with the space/rv episode.March 1, 2013 at 6:03PM EST
Jonas.LeftMIKE Okay, Messiah, I can understand. It was definitely a weaker episode. But the video game show? That one is a half hour of joy. Do you hate video games or joy? Kidding, kidding. Seriously though, what didn't you like aout it? Its one of my favorites. Was it the first episode your wife ever watched? Its not the most accessible show they ever did. I've also found that when I watched something I do find funny with someone who ends up hating it, their lack of laughter unnerved me too much to enjoy it myself.March 1, 2013 at 6:51PM EST
MikeNo, my wife has been watching since season one, and liked it, though not as much as I do. I found the video game one to be too much video game humor and not enough humor for those of us who don't spend a ton of time playing games. Pierce's whole backstory also never did much for me, so the racist father having a bastard son never seemed to work, either. But, yeah, I know exactly what you mean about when you watch a show and another person isn't liking it.March 1, 2013 at 7:13PM EST
Jonas.LeftMIKE That makes sense.
I heard Harmon on a video game themed podcast mention that his original idea for the Remedial Chaos Theory episode involved a video game element, but another writer convinced him to split the timeline and game ideas into two stories. There's the genius of Dan Harmon. An idea so rich I spawned two unique shows, while the new guys can't come up with an idea that sustains itself for half an hour.March 1, 2013 at 8:06PM EST
TravisAdmittedly, these kind of things are subjective but there's the Messiah episode, the ecology diorama episode, the one where Britta was tried at a pool, the one with Kat McPhee, the one with the high schoolers, the children's play, the Chang-heavy noir episode, the 8-bit one was weak, and the all of the ones that involved Chang knocking up Shirley (zombie ep not included). These are just what came to mind, and I'm sure there are those who can defend them, but I enjoyed those episodes far less than this one.March 2, 2013 at 10:42PM EST

Businesses dependent on winter are smiling once again
SPICER -- Business has been good this year for companies that are dependent on winter weather.
Particularly for snowmobile dealers, the steady arrival of fresh snow during most of the winter has been a godsend after years of sparse snow and a struggling economy.
"Normally we don't have rideable snow until around Christmas," said Nathan Nielsen, co-owner of Spicer Sports & Marine. "This year we were riding by the end of November."
"Kandiyohi County and indeed the whole state has really developed a nice trail system," Nielsen said. "I hope people will respect the trail system and the landowners."
Snowmobile sales started early and stayed strong into January, Nielsen said. Clothing and accessory sales went well, too.
Nielsen said snow amounts seem to cycle over the years, and some decades have less snowfall than others. From 2003 to 2008, the area had little snow, he said, but it started to pick up again in 2009.
Nielsen took photos of bare ground and bare snowmobile trails in the fourth week of February three years ago.
In 2009, "we started to get good snow again," he said.
"We haven't seen conditions like this in many, many years," said Steve Myhre of Steve's Equipment Co. in Montevideo. Along with the good snow, farm prices had an impact, Myhre said.
"We had excellent crop prices and a good yield," he said. "Our business is pretty much dependent on the ag industry and farmers."
Scott Selander, a salesman at Motor Sports of Willmar, said he thought it was the best snow he'd seen in 10 years.
"One thing, when you get early snow, it gets people in the mood right away," he said.
Myhre said his business has been busy selling snowblowers, too, and putting tracks on ATVs, because the snow was too deep for their tires. Nielsen said he thought the ATV sales might have been a little slower this year because of the deep snow. The businesses have had busy parts departments and repair shops this winter. In some cases, they were asked to check over machines that had not been used in several years. Nielsen said the activity brought on by a healthy snow cover also helps hardware stores, restaurants, snow plow drivers and other businesses that benefit from additional people in town.
"It's good for the community," Myhre said.
Minnesotans seem to be ready for a change of seasons, though. Nielsen said he's started to get questions about docks, lifts, boats and pontoons. Over the next few weeks, his business will switch its showroom to summer recreational equipment.
Selander said that changeover is already under way at Motor Sports of Willmar. "People are starting to look at motorcycles," he said. Myhre said he's started uncrating lawn mowers.

BILLINGS (AP) — The Yellowstone County treasurer, under fire for racist emails sent using his government email account, has offered to resign at the end of the year if the county will pay him the $90,000 he would have earned in 2014 if he completed his term.

text: What do you think about the possibility of switching a Springfield Armory EMP for something like the Kahr P9 for conceal carry? I bought the EMP because I liked the way it looked, . . .and it does shoot amazingly well, . . . however, I'm not sure it is the best platform for carry. What is your opinion? This isn't a "you should get this instead" type of thread, but about "switching to a possibly better conceal carry platform".

Come Watch Periscope's First Star
Amanda Oleander has captured millions of hearts, even if few know what Periscope is yet.
"Hey, everybody! — oops!" An innocent automotive fumble causes the wipers to graze our Prius windshield. "Um, so we're going to the Secret Jim Morrison Cave, and I just wanted to let you guys know that we're on our way. Hey, Ecuador! What's the cave all about? The cave is a secret cave in Corral Canyon, it's really fun and beautiful and has beautiful views, and it's the only place I get reception up there. So that's really great for all of you guys. Hi, Panama!"
The woman in the driver's seat is addressing her dash-mounted iPhone 5S as she waits at a stoplight in Santa Monica on a recent morning. Her name is Amanda Oleander. She's 25 and upbeat and a Sagittarius, and since moving to Los Angeles two years ago, she's worked as a freelance artist, an illustrator for E! Online, the director of client relations for a fledging app developer, and an extra in The Hunger Games. Perhaps most significantly, and definitely most randomly, in early April she was enjoying her status as the "most loved" person on the new social-media platform Periscope.
A mobile app that allows users to stream live video to any number of Earthlings who wish to watch, Periscope was purchased by Twitter in January for just south of $100 million and kept in beta until March 26 — the day its earliest adopters simulcasted the East Village gas-explosion fire. You might think of Periscope as webcamming meets Snapchat, with masturbating girls and dick pics replaced by rambling thoughts and quotidian walks. (Nudity is banned.) Transmissions can be saved and viewed by curious parties for up to 24 hours. But the real fun is getting a notification during, say, a nightcap in New York and channel-surfing directly to Hong Kong, where someone is dashing through a verdant alley to lunch, then to Belo Horizonte, where a friend is detailing his morning-smoothie ritual. It's an around-the-clock DIY reality show, a selfie network.
A few seconds after @amandaoleander opens Periscope, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people elect to have their phones taken over by a broadcast of whatever she's doing. This boils down to time spent with an attractive young lady learning the ropes of a big city alongside a horde of invisible onlookers, whose presence is made known by a ticker of text chatter and the cartoonish flutter of colored hearts. One day she's shooting the breeze or painting in her Mid-Wilshire studio. On another, she's giving tours of L.A.'s most obvious attractions. This week began at LACMA, then the Griffith Observatory and the Grove. Now on to Malibu.
"You have to tap if you like what you're watching." She's explaining the economy of hearts as we cruise up the Pacific Coast Highway, pecking her finger in the direction of Santa Barbara. "That's how you go up in the most loved." In the Periscope caste system, hearts are more important than followers. When we met earlier this month, Oleander had 2 million hearts. By last Friday, she had more than 5 million. Every new user is encouraged to follow the most-loved scopers, and, as of yet, no celebrity has reached Oleander's level of cardiac acclaim. (She's also the only woman in the top ten.)
When Oleander joined the app, the day after it launched, she had around 2,500 Instagram followers — not totally out of the ordinary. But she's unflappably personable, an outgoing nerd, and she found herself very good at Persicope. You can easily spend the day with her, waking up together, retracing your steps before bed, making plans for tomorrow. She found the sudden attention startling. "I was like, Is this a movie or something?" At least one of her followers feels similarly. The first time I tuned in, @mikebarrone718 sent up a text bubble: "This app reminds me of the movie Her." Oleander tells me that once she reaches her goal of 100,000 followers, she wants to launch a world tour, meeting and painting with a network of friends she hasn't met yet.
She usually films herself, but today Oleander's friend Skye is acting as assistant camera operator from the passenger seat. Safety first. He comments on the comments of the last stream: "Some of these are funny; they're all like, 'Where are you from, bb?' " Oleander shrugs it off with a giggle as we pull onto the path leading to the trailhead.
Soon we're in the fabled Secret Jim Morrison Cave, where the Lizard King came to write. About a dozen day-trippers have beaten us here. "Hey, pass that J back!" says one gruff yet chill young woman. She offers the doobie to our gang after her turn. Oleander says thanks but no thanks and "Hey! Do any of you guys know about Periscope?"
"Paradise Cove?" asks another stoned hiker, confusing it with the name of a nearby beach.
"No, Periscope. It's this new app, and 200 people from around the world are tuning in right now, watching what we're doing."
This draws the attention of a third loiterer: "What?!"
Oleander scooches across the rocks to offer her phone by way of demonstration. "It's the No. 1 app now; if you just look it up, you should see it. You should add me on there." Lights up, camera on. "Okay. Hi! I'm @amandaoleander, where are you guys from?" Answers begin coming in: Brooklyn, Quebec City, Dubai, Seattle.
"A lot of people don't know about the cave," Oleander says to her phone, responding to one of her followers, "but now I guess you're right, it's not a secret anymore." She scans for more queries. One, about a swimsuit, she deems inappropriate and grounds for blocking. To another: "I'm not part of the Illuminati, no."
Last Wednesday on Periscope ...
Two adult men from Mobile, Alabama, pretended their sock puppets were on a blind date. A girl in a polka-dot dress showed off her one-month-old yellow Lab puppy to a chorus of awwws. A man in Brooklyn was courtside at the Nets-versus-Magic game, while another man in Abu Dhabi was speeding down a deserted freeway at 4 a.m. There was a livestream of Michelle Obama giving Alicia Keys an award at the Grammys on the Hills event, as well as one showing a crew in North Carolina sharing a blunt. A tech blogger drove to Tim Horton's for doughnuts. The actress Soleil Moon Frye broadcast her kids playing in the backyard. A teenage girl in California gave a tour of her lip-gloss collection. Editors at Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan posed on an Iron Throne and toasted each other with what appeared to be Champagne and cupcakes, though the connection was a little fuzzy. A helicopter feed of a police chase in St. Louis ended with cops arresting the suspect without injury.
The religion editor at the Huffington Post guided viewers through a candlelit meditation session. College kids performed karaoke to "Party in the USA." A raise-the-minimum-wage rally raged outside a McDonald's in San Diego. One MSNBC reporter, on assignment in Iowa, filled airtime while he waited and waited for Hillary Clinton's "Scooby" van to show.

It's inevitable: one of the many hats community managers will wear is that of customer support agent. Even while using social media to extend and personalize your brand, customers will wind up using these channels to gain answers to their own questions. Finding scalable ways to maintain a sense of personal connection regarding customer support inquiries can be a challenge. While you can direct message on Twitter, how can you point them in a direction for more information that maintains that level of connection in 140 characters or less?
Here are some quick ways to keep the customer support high tech and high touch:
- FAQs. Keep hearing the same few questions from your customers? Take the time to jot down your best response to your frequently asked questions and share them with your customers in an external web page. Updating FAQs can be cumbersome, but only create FAQs for the top 5 percent of questions asked to cut down on upkeep. The time you'll save from writing the same responses over and over will allow you to serve more customers by providing them with consistent, accurate answers. Plus, sharing a link to an FAQ section via Twitter rather than writing out a lengthy response will increase your chances of being read and retweeted.
- Help center. These days customers expect all brands to have a page of their website dedicated to customer support – and they should. Customer support solutions are cheap and easy to implement. Find one that allows you to display your FAQs in a visually pleasing way, provides search so your customers can find their own answers, and a ticketing system so you can keep track of questions asked via Twitter, Facebook, and email – all in one place. Though it takes a bit of work to set this up, in time the center will decrease the number of support questions asked in your social media channels so you can spend more time promoting your brand.
- Tutorial videos. Even in this digital age, a picture is still worth a thousand words. Posted your FAQs but still get asked the same questions? Make a quick :30 tutorial video and literally show them how to do it. Keep overhead low by simply displaying a series of screenshots with arrows pointing to where they should click. Skip the music if need be, but ensure the production quality is high since the video will be a reflection of your brand. Once they're ready, publish them on YouTube and promote them through your social media channels. Customers will not only applaud your efforts to increase your support for them but also for providing a service that is now becoming standard.
Following through with these three tips will provide your customers with that warm and fuzzy feeling that you truly care about their experience with your brand – and you do. It may seem like this customer support hat is too big for your head right now, but the above is sure to help alleviate the pressure while even strengthening your brand. And before you know it, you won't even know you're wearing that hat.

"We were told that a Santa Ana school cop was terrorizing students everyday after school in front of McFadden Intermediate. We went to go see what it was about not thinking that we would actually catch the cop doing it. It turned out to be worse than we thought. Upon arriving the cop was doing exactly what people say he does. When he saw us observing and documenting his actions he called for back up. Cop after cop began showing up, including Sergeant Brian Harris. They completely disregarded the fact that we were there to help the student and concentrated on impeding our right to hold the cop accountable to the community. Watch the video."

Some helpful info below, but do also note that if the loan type is FHA, then the non-borrowing spouse's debt will still be factored into the approval even if that person will not go on the loan and/or title of the home. Again, this is due to CA being a community property state.
Best of luck and let me know if I can help.

The property will become community property again if ANY community funds are used to maintain it or improve it so it is very important that all costs be born by and come from the sole and seperate owner.
As mentioned by Claudia, California is a community property state. Because of this, the need to establish rightful and legal separation is a must. You will have to consult a knowledgeable real estate attorney. I suggest Bill Jensen: http://aries.brokerriskmanagement.com/_wsn/page3.html Bill is highly regarded in the industry and will serve you well.
His contact info is:
Leslie Walsh assists Bill and is a lovely woman.
Good luck!
