HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.
HEALTHAlthough it's not a topic any of us really want to think about, responsible dog parenting requires that we give some thought to what would happen to our dogs if one day we didn't come home.
FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy! Learn the basics of finding a vet and getting puppy vaccinated.

Avril Lavigne has been having a bit of a rough time lately. Her marriage to Nickelback's Chad Kroeger is apparently in trouble and according to some private messages she shared with a fan earlier this month, she's been experiencing some undisclosed "health issues":
Huh. Sounds pretty serious, eh? Well, according to some reports, the "health issues" Avril is experiencing are basically the result of partying too hard, and she's apparently been spending time in rehab to get her shit together… at least according to Star Magazine.
After dropping out of the public eye for more than two months and refusing to answer to concerned love ones, the startling note had everyone wondering what's wrong with the singer. "The buzz in her inner circle is that she's been in rehab for depression and substance abuse issues," a source close to the singer says. "Avril was an emotional wreck over her marital problems, and she turned to partying to deal with the pain."
Basically, she's headed for divorce and between her failed marriage and the fact that her career is pretty much over, she's losing it bigtime.
And now, it appears that partying away her problems has damaged her health. "Avril feels more alone now than ever and just wants to make it through this," the source adds. "Everyone hopes that if she is indeed with rehab, it serves her well and she learns better coping mechanisms. She's got a lot of wonderful people in her life; she just needs to swallow her pride and embrace them."
Huh. Here's hoping whatever's going on gets sorted out soon.

It's snowing today in New York City and crowds are lining up to skate at the legendary ice rink at Rockefeller Center, with its sparkling light displays and famous holiday tree. If I visit this year, it'll be as a spectator only, since I've never ice skated in my life. Sad, I know, but I have a good excuse—I grew up in extremely warm areas of Mexico and Texas, so I didn't have many opportunities to learn. But that doesn't stop me from admiring skaters. I love their graceful gliding, and enjoy seeing the camaraderie that spontaneously develops when groups of people converge on the ice. Evidently I'm not alone, judging from the many depictions of skating groups in the Artstor Digital Library.

Imogene married Leslie G. Turner in 1947 and the two began an adventurous life of raising five children across North America and Europe, as Leslie followed his career in the U.S Air Force. The family eventually settled in the Sacramento area.

On the Fringe
In every school at every grade, there's a pecking order among students -- an in crowd and those outside it, who are often ridiculed mercilessly for the "crime" of being different. This powerful anthology explores the teen outsider experience in electrifying, never-before-published stories by eleven of today's most acclaimed YA authors. A tomboy finds the relief of self-expression through her music, while in another tale a relentless bully tests the faith of an intensely religious girl. A cheerleader discovers that the true soul of her school can't be found within the cool clique; a football player finally stands up for a harassed fellow student; and a boy watches in horror as the school "freak" marches into his classroom with a loaded rifle. Offering insights into popularity and peer pressure, nonconformity and persecution, acceptance and hate, these riveting, provocative tales will leave readers thinking and start them talking.

Update: The Flyers have signed Foster to a one-year deal, NHL.com reports.
Recommendation: Foster couldn't stick in one spot last year, but the Flyers are hoping he'll find stability in their defense corps. At his best, he's been a somewhat useful offensive defenseman, so keep an eye on him, since he's in a situation with upside in Philadelphia.

NBC Dumps $25 Million Jimmy Fallon NYC 'Tonight Show' Studio
This story first appeared in the May 17 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Despite months of planning, Jimmy Fallon won't be getting a big, new $25 million studio at 30 Rock after all when he takes over The Tonight Show and moves it to New York in 2014.
Insiders tell THR that NBC spent seven months working on plans that called for the combining of Studios 6B and 8G and turning them into a megastudio for Fallon as well as a showy theater for NBCUniversal to screen movies. Including a balcony, the facility would have fit an audience of 400.
PHOTOS: Jimmy Fallon: From Early 'SNL' to Movie Star to 'Late Night'
The project, though, recently was scrapped, says an insider, and now when Fallon becomes host of Tonight, he'll have to settle for a mere $5 million renovation of Studio 6B, where he currently hosts Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The insider says Fallon and Lorne Michaels, who will take over as executive producer when Fallon replaces Jay Leno, are OK with the less ambitious plan.
Work is set to begin in the summer and take about six months; Fallon will move his current show to Studio 6A until Studio 6B's makeover is complete. When it's done, Studio 6B will have an entirely different infrastructure and look, and it will accommodate an audience of about 240, up from the current capacity of 189.
PHOTOS: Before Burbank: 5 Portraits of 'The Tonight Show' in New York
Outside of an upgraded stage built five years ago for Late Night, Studio 6B essentially is the same facility as when Johnny Carson hosted Tonight there four decades ago, so a remake was in order -- if not a $25 million overhaul.
One source says the reason for scrapping the more ambitious plan was some executives objected to losing Studio 8G, where Football Night in America is taped. Also, Studio 8G sits above Studio 6B, and combining them would have created a very tall studio but one no wider than each is now, potentially causing lighting and sound issues. Other insiders say NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke balked at the $25 million price tag and that some worried Fallon couldn't fill a 400-seat theater five nights a week. Counters an NBC rep, "That's simply not true."

With the recent addition of Wipeout to the world of stupid shows where people make themselves look like idiots in order to earn some cash money, we've decided to take a look back at some of the really ridiculous shows that involve rewarding those with little or no talent with cash. While Wipeout just barely missed making the cut, there are some others that are horrifyingly bad and are contributing to the downfall of quality television just as much as an average episode of The Bachelorette. That's not to say that some of these aren't entertaining to watch, but that doesn't really make them intelligent TV.
1. Let's Make a Deal (NBC, 1967 and ABC, 1969-1971 and Syndicated)
Yeah, we know, this show has sentimental value or whatever, but it's also the show that begat such skill-less shows as Deal or No Deal and was one of the first encouraged players to act like fools in order to get on TV, both terrible trends that still exist today. Monty Hall was a charmer who egged on crazily dressed contestants and gave them prizes and then tempted them with mysterious boxes and doors that held fabulous prizes or zonks (a.k.a. duds like jalopys or sometimes goats). Audience members were randomly picked to be players based on their nutty costumes and how obnoxious they could be in getting Hall's attention. So next time you're rolling your eyes at someone on TV yelling and screaming like they just won the lotto after they earned a two dollar prize, blame this show.
2. The Chamber/The Chair (Fox and ABC, 2002)
These nearly identical shows entered the primetime landscape within weeks of each other and since both were insipidly idiotic, neither stuck around very long. The Chamber put contestants in a hot or cold box and asked them questions while in extreme weather conditions and they had to keep their heartrates stable. In contrast, The Chair had tennis menace John McEnroe asking questions of people who were strapped to a chair and challenged to keep their heartrates stable, and in between quiz rounds McEnroe served up tennis balls at their head or surrounded them by a hive of bees seeing if they could stay calm. There were lawsuits about who had the idea first, but the better lawsuit would have been against the people who thought up this concept in the first place.
3. Deal or No Deal (NBC, 2005-present)
The epitome of dumb game shows currently on TV (and that's saying a lot). This show involves absolutely no skill whatsoever and is solely based on luck. The contestants don't have to really do anything except be able to pick a briefcase from a hot girl and then be able to pick other numbers and say the words "Deal" or "No deal" when they're asked if they want to press their luck and choose another case instead of sticking with cash in the pocket. Oh, and they're required to behave as obnoxiously as possible, as well as fist-bump with germaphobe Howie Mandel, which could be a talent...sort of.
4. Bobcat's Big Ass Show (FX, 1998)
Sure this came about when FX was a fledgling little network without kickass shows like Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck, but that doesn't excuse casting "comedian" Bobcat Goldthwait as the host for a game show. Bobcat encouraged contestants to compete in such challenges as fake animal attacks (there's a clip on YouTube of a guy flailing around pretending to be mauled by a stuffed cougar if you don't believe us) and sharing their dirty little secrets with the audience. Think your average ordinary game of Truth or Dare, but way lowbrow.
5. Set for Life (ABC, 2007)
This one has way too many rules to even try to explain, but the basic gist of it was that people would pull little, light-up cylinders from the ground in a special, secret order in order to determine if they got enough money to pay their monthly bills for life...or for like, five years. The unthinkably confusing part was that the contestants had a friend or family member watching from an isolation chamber and they decided when or if the player should continue on in the competition. Even host Jimmy Kimmel didn't look like he quite understood much of anything, aside from the fact that he was getting paid and that this might help him in his quest to become the next Regis Philbin.
6. Dog Eats Dog (NBC, 2002-2003)
Surely this was not Brooke Burns' finest moment, though arguably Pepper Dennis wasn't all that much better. Burns hosted this show in a scantily clad wardrobe, which kept with the theme of players competing in stunts (most of them in the water while wearing little clothing) or stripping games (such as darts and golf) in order to win some cash money. This demeaning (to men and women) game show was just another show aimed at the lowest common denominator of fans and players who probably got sick of showing off their junk for nothing in New Orleans and couldn't make it on to the Real World/Road Rules Challenges.
7. National Bingo Night (ABC, 2007)
We can see how this brainstorming meeting went: "Hey, people love bingo, right? Wouldn't it be fun to let them play at home? And let's get that guy from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to host. No, not the one who yells with the megaphone, the other quiet carpenter with the British accent. And while we're at it, instead of letting the contestants actually play bingo (because that's so boring to watch) let's make them do stupid stunts while the audience plays "old-fashioned" bingo and then make the players randomly guess what color balls are going to come down. We're such geniuses. Too bad the end result really was far from that.
8. Fear Factor (NBC, 2001-2006)
Making it OK for people across America to eat bugs for cash, comes Fear Factor the most disgusting game show ever (well, until Hurl! premieres). It did have one good thing going for it, host Joe Rogan. He made this show somewhat watchable, even if it had the most impossibly senseless premise. Overenthusiastic players were subjected to things like being trapped underwater, forced to cross between buildings, be covered in spiders, eat parts of animals that shouldn't be eaten. Grosser than gross.
9. Let's Bowl (Comedy Central, 2001-2002)
What do you get when you take competitive bowling and a courtroom show? Let's Bowl, of course. Players who had a beef with each other took to the lanes to duke it out Big Lebowski style, by competing in a 10-frame round of bowling. The "winner" gets to compete against a professional bowler to win prizes. Of course, there were hot girls who flirted and teased the players while they were bowling. Real classy.
10. My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad (NBC, 2008)
If you need more than the words "hosted by Dan Cortese" to convince you that this game show was going to be dumb, well then, fine. This show basically stole elements from Family Double Dare, Nickelodeon's GUTS, Ninja Warrior and American Gladiators to create physical challenges like putting a man in a tree in order to retrieve little birds while other players shoot things at him, so that fathers can prove that they are awesome. Meanwhile, this is great for the kids when their dads win, but when they lose, the look of disappointment is depressing. Tearing families apart -- isn't that what makes a good game show?
Bonus: Hurl! (G4, coming in July 2008)
We've only got the premise for this one, but it sounds like this one could skyrocket to the top of the list. Basically players are subjected to a competitive eating round, where they down massive amounts of food and then are tasked with participating in physical challenges and sporting events as they try not to vomit. Yeah, you read that right -- not vomiting is the key to winning. We're looking out the window for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as we type this.

There are a million different ways to make a breakfast sandwich, and it can feel like almost all of them have been done, or at least attempted. But for those who like to go Leslie Knope or Ron Swanson on their first meal, Jack in the Box has a new way to cushion your eggs, cheese, and sausage between two waffles. The fast-food chain is offering its new Breakfast Waffle Sandwich ($2.79 plus tax) for a limited time. It sort of looks like a McGriddle except it's not a McGriddle, because, well, that actually appears to be a waffle atop its crown. It does have 33 grams of fat, but that may be a small price to pay for breakfast bliss, especially when you consider that it's offered all day long. No more missing breakfast by thirty minutes and four seconds. [Foodbeast]

Hey everyone!

In case any of you have noticed, I haven't been active in the cBlogs for a while. Yeah I had two blogs where I pimped my [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Sephzilla/tomorrow-it-s-almost-the-weekend-ep-2-deathvengeance-edition-279195.phtml]Streamtoid[/url] [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Sephzilla/tomorrow-it-s-almost-the-weekend-ep-1-revenge-nope-waluigi-time--278868.phtml]stream[/url] and another where I said [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Sephzilla/five-word-movie-reviews-godzilla-2014--275002.phtml]Godzilla 2014 was awesome[/url], but those don't really count. I'm talking a traditional cBlog. My last one was from December 21st of last year (!). Yeah, I've been a presence on the front page still but I feel like my contributions to the site have kind of tapered off (I used to cBlog a lot). I figured I'd write a blog about something just so people can find out what's been up with me lately and how things are going (because I know you all really give a crap about what I do ;) right?).

The big thing going on, and probably the main reason I haven't blogged in a long ass time, is that my job has gotten busy in the last year - pretty damn busy. I kind of laughed when I realized my last blog was from December, because that was right around the time I got pulled into a big website rebuild project for the company I work for (I'm a programmer, and our website has a lot of programming behind it that goes on behind the scenes) and ever since then it's been a revolving door of big projects being thrown my way. I've been getting a lot of compliments from bosses at multiple levels the last few months for all of the work I've been doing, so I'm actually hoping a raise or promotion is coming. But yeah, work's been draining me a lot lately and honestly it's resulted in me going home and relaxing with my girlfriend (because she's awesome) - which in turn has also kind of killed my incentive to keep sitting in front of a keyboard typing away for my cBlog.

I kind of feel like the "big projects" stuff is starting to ease up a bit, so I'm kind of wanting to get back into doing more stuff around here. I still do my weekly Thursday streams on Streamtoid, which reminds me - you all need to show up and watch me more often. I get fuck all for viewers during my stream (is Thursday just a bad time slot?). I'm actually contemplating starting up a Youtube channel and doing lets plays / reviews and what not. I'm actually kind of nervous about doing this, because (believe it or not) I actually hate the sound of my own voice and I'm not sure if I'll be good at this sort of thing. So if I decide to give this a try I might pimp myself around here for some opinions.

In more direct gaming stuff, over the last year I've acquired all three next gen systems and I've been happily gaming in my free time. I currently charged through both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 on my Wii-U and I think Bayonetta 2 might be my game of the year right now, supplanting Mario Kart 8 from that throne. Speaking of the Wii-U, I think my enjoyment of that system has been the biggest surprise of mine in the last year. The GameCube and Wii were big let downs for me that ended up gathering dust, but I've gotten a ton of mileage out of my Wii-U already. Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, and New Super Mario Bros. U were all fantastic. Wonderful 101 was plenty of fun too. I still need to get my hands on Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Wind Waker HD at some point too.

The game(s) I'm most currently looking forward to is the Master Chief Collection. I've never been one to deny that I've been a huge fanboy of the Halo franchise, but my enjoyment and excitement of the franchise has tapered off with Halo Reach and Halo 4. Watching the old school gameplay of the original three games return and get a 1080p/60FPS treatment has set a wildfire of nostalgia ablaze within me though. I like to pretend that I was pretty god damn good at the older games back in the day, so my Twitch and potential Youtube stuff is going to be constantly full of Halo related stuff I'm thinking.

I still think the DmC reboot was a mediocre at best game with some of the most laughably bad writing I've ever seen in a game.

Over the summer I watched the first season of Arrow, finished up Star Trek Voyager, and started/finished Star Trek Enterprise. Voyager took effort to finish because the last two seasons are so wildly inconsistent in quality, and the series finale is bad and completely unsatisfying. I went into Enterprise expecting it to be worse based off of the reputation it had, but I actually thought the show was pretty good. Seasons one and two are kind of mediocre (but so were the first two seasons of Next Generation and Deep Space Nine), but the third and fourth seasons of Enterprise are some of the strongest seasons in the entire history of the franchise. I was legitimately sad that the series got cancelled prematurely.

Going away from Star Trek, Arrow is pretty fucking awesome. The first season gets a little too soap opera at times, but the second half of the first season really fires on all cylinders and makes for a great finale. Arrow is easily the best live action production that DC Comics has going for them right now (Man of Steel was okay, Batman vs Superman sounds like it might be a fucking train wreck). I started the second season of Arrow and it already seems better than the first season, just to note. Arrow's existence and it being so good almost makes me upset, because Stephen Amell (the guy who plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow) would otherwise make the perfect Batman.

I've also been trying to keep up with WWE (on the WWE Network for the cheap monthly cost of $9.99), but it's been kind of rough because the modern WWE product is pretty fucking awful. Despite having probably the best talented roster they've had since the late 90s, the product feels like everything that was bad about the 80s and early 90s rolled into one. John Cena hogs the spotlight so much that even Hulk Hogan would probably blush. New upcoming talent is constantly being held back in favor of keeping Cena and Randy Orton in the spotlight. Undertaker's Wrestlemania undefeated streak was ended by Brock Lesnar - a part time wrestler who's only wrestled in 2 matches since (both against Cena, go figure).

WWE Network is running a series called "The Monday Night Wars" where they talk about the late 90s WCW/WWF ratings war. It's awkward to watch for two reasons; first, WWE is using a lot of revisionist history in order to make them look better than WCW. Secondly, it's weird hearing WWE people talk about the things WCW screwed up and then watch WWE make the exact same mistakes on their current product. Basically Vince McMahon is completely out of touch with modern audiences and I can only hope it's a matter of time before Triple H takes over as the guy who has final say in everything. For those who don't know, HHH is Vince's son-in-law who's being groomed for the job, HHH currently runs NXT (WWE's show for developmental talents) and it's a way better product than Vince's shows - so I hope that's a good sign for the future.

I'm running out of things to talk about, but I just wanted to post something and give kind of a rundown of where I've been and what I've been doing. I guess this was partially inspired by [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Dreamweaver/when-i-m-gone-just-carry-on--283162.phtml]Dreamweaver[/url] and [url=http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Brittany+Vincent/where-have-i-been-and-why-do-i-write--283170.phtml]Brittany's[/url] blogs, but in general I've just had the itch to want to do something. Hit me up in the comments, I'll probably say something.

Here's a RoboCop gif, because this movie is awesome.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:279195Tomorrow - It's Almost The Weekend - Ep. 2 - Deathvengeance Edition2014-08-06T13:12:50Z2014-08-06T13:12:50Z

It's alive! It's aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!

I'm tentatively excited, because it seems like my PS3 has risen from the dead and is functional again. After dicking around with it again last night I noticed that it's abrupt shutdowns seemed to happen when it was trying to make a few reads from the hard drive. Curiosity made me wonder if my PS3 was simply suffering from corrupt file issues, so I booted the PS3 into safe mode, ran a file restore, rebuilt the database, and did two more file restores just for safe measure, and before I knew it my PS3 was running in seemingly perfect health. Still don't wanna give it a full bill of health yet as the issue could still be a dying hard drive. I was relieved as fuck to find out my PS3 wasn't dead, but simply in a coma. Now I need to break the news to my PS3 that he's been asleep for 7 days, his wife has moved on, and he's probably pissed himself.

The bonus result of this is that I'll get to do what I wanted my original debut stream to be - a new game run of Revengeance mode in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. For those of you who do not know, at the title screen of MGR you can enter the Konami code and it will unlock all of the game's difficulties for you right away. This means that you can start a completely new game with no upgrades or unlocked moves and jump straight into the hardest difficulties in the game. Translation - this is something made for people who absolutely hate winning.

Revengeance mode is pretty much built around the player being at "new game plus" level upon entering it. Enemies deal fucking crazy levels of damage, the window for parrying attacks is smaller, the Zandatsu squares (red squares in blade mode) are smaller, and most encounters either have different enemies or additional enemies (or both!). Jumping into Revengeance mode without any new game plus enhancements is borderline suicidal; the amount of damage every enemy does will kill you in either one or two hits and you'll also be missing a few almost essential upgrades.

In short - on this stream I'm going to be dying a lot so I hope you have patience for seeing a lot of game over screens. I did a brief test run of this a few weeks ago and managed to get decently far into the second mission, so this isn't completely impossible. However I died a fucking ton during it, enough times to make Dark Souls even blush. My goal for this stream will be to at least make it up to Mistral, which I think is entirely possible, but hopefully under 50 deaths.

In other news, I saw Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend. As you may have already heard from pretty much everyone else, it's a great time. It's easily in the upper tier of Marvel movies. Not sure if I'd rank it better than Winter Soldier or Avengers, but damn I want to see it again.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:278868Tomorrow - It's Almost The Weekend - Ep. 1 - Revenge-NOPE! Waluigi Time!2014-07-30T15:23:44Z2014-07-30T15:23:44Z

As many of you may know, the Destructoid Community driven Twitch channel Streamtoid is back up and running. Yours truly has Thursday afternoons booked for a 3 hour block I'm dubbing "It's Almost The Weekend", because Thursdays have sucked ever since WWE moved SmackDown to Fridays and I can't think of anything more original for a title.

Translation: You should all fucking watch Streamtoid tomorrow because I'm so politely asking and I want viewers, damnit. Actually, watch Streamtoid all the time because then you'll earn your way into the League of Extremely Cool People.

So what's going to happen on this Thursday 3 hour program? Um... video games, obviously. If you're expecting a theme or gimmick or something like that, sorry that's probably not gonna happen. The only gimmick will probably be "I really don't know what I'm going to do from week to week". I'm going to play games while talking on my headset and we're all going to have a merry old time. I'm still kind of new to streaming while trying to talk to my (small) audience, so I'm going to try to overcome my ability to go lengthy amounts of time before remembering to speak.

For my inaugural show I was originally planning on playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, starting a new game, and jumping straight into Revengeance mode. However, my PlayStation 3 picked the worst time to die, thus ruining my original plans and leaving me scrambling to think of something else to do. I was thinking about streaming The Last of Us Remastered, but I'd rather not stream my first playthrough of the campaign in order to avoid spoilers / people telling me what to do (gotta preserve all dem emotions), plus I figure the PS Friday Night Fights crew will be streaming that game anyways. This means there is only one logical option left.

Yep, that's right. It's Waluigi time, motherfuckers. You're getting three steady hours of Mario Kart 8 online multiplayer, or some other Wii-U game in case I decide to rage quit (Mega Man X is always on stand by, forever). Mario Kart 8 is safely my favorite entry into this series, it's crazy fun to play, and it's a gorgeous game to look at. If you're interested in racing against me, drop your NNID in the comments below or something and if enough people want in maybe we can do a private lobby and avoid the need to race against the unknown masses in the online world. Racing against me will earn you the prize of being able to say you're almost as good as Waluigi.

tag:destructoid.com,2008:267901Opinion: My reasons for why I'm not excited for Mighty No. 9 (yet)2013-12-21T21:22:08Z2013-12-21T21:22:08ZKeiji Inafune's latest game, Mighty No. 9 definitely has a lot of hype following it. The internet video game community has seemingly appointed it as the successor of Mega Man, which I feel is a bit premature, and Inafune has been put on a pedestal for giving us a Mega Man game when Capcom has seemingly shunned him. While I hope that Mighty No. 9 does well enough to hopefully shake Capcom up a little and remind them that the Blue Bomber is a profitable franchise, there's voices in my head that are preventing me from jumping on the same hype train that everybody else is on.

4- Capcom could still shove their nose into this

Let's be honest here, Mighty No. 9 should really be named Copyright Infringement No. 9. This is a Mega Man game with a slightly different paint job on it in order to try and sneak one by on Capcom. I'm excited for a new Mega Man game as much as the next person, but when I first heard about this and saw some stuff about it my first thought was "Holy fuck, Inafune is really pushing his luck here".

It's another robot built by a professor (who likely will have either a big bushy beard or white hair) who's considerably more human in design compared to some of his peers, instead of Rock & Roll it's now Beck & Call, even the Mets now have traffic cones on them instead of hard hats. If Beck in Mighty No. 9 doesn't get a red-colored ally who uses a green laser sword, I will be legitimately surprised. Inafune is trying really hard here to make it obvious that this is a Mega Man game, and that's obviously the point.

And I'm okay with him trying to stick it to Capcom. However this is also one of the reasons I'm trying to not get excited about Mighty No. 9 just yet, because who's to say that Capcom might not try to metaphorically give a "fuck you too" to Inafune and try to take this to court for copyright infringement? I'm no lawyer and I'm not what you'd call familiar with copyright law, let alone Japan's versions of them, but I can't believe that nobody over at Capcom isn't even looking into what their legal options are. I'd rather get excited about this new game when I have a little more concrete knowledge that Capcom won't be able to shut this game down.

3- Keiji Inafune

This one will probably raise a few eyebrows since Inafune is one of the, if not only, biggest reasons Capcom became so awesome for a couple of decades stretching all the way back to the NES era to the late PS2 era. That being said, Inafune could also be pinned down as one of the biggest reasons Capcom has stunk it up this generation.

Remember when Capcom was fresh of off the heels of the very un-Resident Evil like Resident Evil 5, announcing DmC, and laying the seeds for Resident Evil 6 and Lost Planet 3? Take a guess at who one of the big shot decision makers for Capcom when all of these were in their early stages. You guessed it, Keiji Inafune.

Does it really come as a surprise? Keiji West is Best Inafune had a ton of power at Capcom just as Capcom is announcing a bunch of games that seemed to be chasing the tail of the west, games that ultimately soured a lot of Capcom's once pretty loyal and dedicated fanbase. And I didn't even mention the aborted Mega Man X third person shooter where X was redesigned to look unquestionably similar to Iron Man not long after Iron Man fucking exploded in popularity in America.

Point is, I'm not entirely keen on trusting a person who thought completely revamping the Devil May Cry franchise at the peak of its popularity was a good idea. Inafune has a storied history in video games, but I'm starting to think he's been swapped with a Mirror Universe duplicate who's more concerned about chasing the all-powerful American dollar. Inafune without any kind of overhead control makes me a bit nervous, which leads to my next point.

2- The George Lucas / Vince Russo Syndrome

Most great creative minds are that, great creative minds. However, lots of those creative thinkers or entertainers tend of have some outside force to act as a filter, so that the best ideas reach the public while preventing worse ideas from fostering. I'll bring forth two examples that best exemplify this.

The first is George Lucas, the man who gave us Star Wars and Indiana Jones. This man has pretty directly touched uncountable numbers of people spanning multiple generations and has guaranteed us that plastic swords and fedoras will always stay at least somewhat relevant in society. What helped make him great with his original projects were others around him who kept him on the right path both as a writer and director. Lucas had people around him who would call him out on something that looked pretty clearly stupid.. This is why, for example, Han Solo is Harrison Ford instead of some crazy space lizard man.

However after Star Wars had exploded into the worldwide phenomenon, eventually Lucas decided to make the prequel trilogy. Along with that, he removed most of the original people who conflicted with him when making the original movies in order to let him fully make his movie. The end result speaks for itself, when Lucas had full control over his own production he delivered a series of movies that were substantially below his original works and were generally poorly constructed movies overall. The same result happened with the fourth Indiana Jones movie as well.

If you're a fan of professional wrestling, you most likely know who Vince Russo is and will immediately understand what I mean. Vince Russo is the man who made professional wrestling cool in the mid to late 1990s. He is what led us to things like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and the Attitude Era. He was one of the behind the curtain guys who kept WWF alive when WCW was beating them in weekly ratings, and eventually pushed them back to the top.

When Vince Russo left WWF for WCW, he no longer had Vince McMahon (WWF/WWE owner) above him to filter out his ideas. The end result was that he became one of the cancers that led to WCW's demise, leading to such ridiculous wrestling story lines as David Arquette and himself as WCW World Champions. Long story short, Vince Russo was the George Lucas of professional wrestling.

I'm worried that Inafune could potentially go down the same path without having Capcom or some larger company overhead pushing back at him and keeping him in check. His history near the end with Capcom speaks for itself, when he finally got a lot of say there he planted the seeds for what many will say were a line of pretty boneheaded decisions for that company. Hell, part of me wonders if one of the reasons he left Capcom was because someone finally told him to shut the fuck up.

1- I'd just like to see the game, first

I don't think this is exactly a bad thing to list for why I'm not excited yet. Obviously the idea of a new Capcom-free Mega Man is appealing, but I'd rather see some of the game before getting sky high with hype levels for it. I'd rather see the game in action before I say that Mega Man's spirit lives on. By the way, am I the only one who thinks it's a little premature to pass the torch from Mega Man to Beck?

Plus given my two previous reservations about Mighty No. 9 listed above, just seeing the game in action will help alleviate those two earlier fears that are holding me back. After that, I'll probably be there on the hype train just like everyone else because I fucking love Mega Man games and consider Mega Man X the best designed video game in history.

So yes, I still have reservations about Mighty No. 9. I really do hope I'm wrong, but there's enough evidence on the table for me to look at this game and be a tad pessimistic.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:267011Seph's Quick Tips - Snapping The Streak in WWE 2K142013-12-06T10:20:39Z2013-12-06T10:20:39Z

Anyone who follows professional wrestling is most likely aware of something simply called "The Streak". It's in direct reference to The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania, the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. As the wrestler who portrays The Undertaker has gotten older Undertaker has reduced his wrestling schedule to more or less only be his big match at WrestleMania, essentially turning his already supernatural character into pretty much the "end boss" of wrestling's biggest event of the year. Numerous legends of wrestling have taken their shot at defeating Undertaker at WrestleMania and all have failed, including notables such as CM Punk, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Shawn Michaels, and Ric Flair.

WWE 2K14 features a mode in the game where you can challenge The Undertaker and take your own shot at making WrestleMania history. Remember how I said that Undertaker was pretty much the final boss of real-life WrestleMania? Yeah, he's pretty much the end boss of WWE 2K14 as well. Snapping the streak is pretty damn hard, it's something even I've only managed to do a couple of times and from what I've heard from others it sounds like its still a challenge to many. So I thought I'd assemble a few quick tips when it comes to challenging The Phenom and making sure you don't end up on the wrong end of a Tombstone Piledriver.

1) Pick a wrestler you're comfortable with

WWE 2K14 has a few wrestlers on the roster I'd definitely consider "over powered", particularly John Cena, Randy Orton, and Hulk Hogan, so obviously your knee-jerk reaction might be to pick one of these superstars in order to give yourself a fighting chance. My advice would be to forgo picking someone who on-paper looks like a good choice and instead just pick a wrestler whom you're most comfortable with. In my experience being familiar with a wrestlers move set outweighs the raw statistical advantages of picking a different wrestler.

You can also pick custom wrestlers when squaring off against Undertaker as well. If you're one of those players who spends hours customizing every move on your dream version of yourself, then this will most likely be your go-to option. Plus, wouldn't you rather see yourself beat Undertaker?

2) Pick a wrestler whom has the "Resiliency" ability

If you don't have a wrestler you're totally comfortable with, or perhaps you have multiple wrestlers you feel safe picking, I'd put preference over any wrestler who carries the "resiliency" ability. Resiliency acts like a quick burst of adrenaline for your wrestler which gives you either a bigger window of opportunity to kick out of pinning attempts or increases your chance of breaking out of submission holds. Used ideally, it's the perfect thing to get you out of a situation you otherwise wouldn't be able to escape from (like trying to kick out of a second or third Tombstone Piledriver).

It should be noted though that you get a score bonus if you defeat Undertaker without using resiliency (yeah, you get a score after the match, but it only matters if you win). However, if your objective is simply to win the match then do not worry about losing out on some potential points. Save the fancy stuff for when you're trying for your second or third victory.

3) Keep the fight outside of the ring

When fighting Undertaker in the ring, he will pull a few creative tricks out of his hat in order to keep the momentum in his favor. If you hit a finishing move on him he'll occasionally make the lights in the stadium go out for a split second, and then when the lights come back he'll be standing right behind you and promptly deliver his finisher onto you. He has a couple of other tricks like this that will result in you taking a lot of damage... so long as you're actually in the ring.

The match against Undertaker is a no-holds-barred hardcore match. This means that you can leave the ring freely and fight outside of the ring or on the ramp area without running the risk of count-out or other forms of disqualification. However the match can only end with a pin fall or submission inside of the ring, which means that you are safe from all of Undertaker's tricks so long as he can't actually pin you or make you tap out. This is the only aspect of this match that is noticeably in favor of the player, so make use of it.

4) ECW! ECW! ECW!

Like I said this is a no disqualification match which means anything is legal, including weapons. You can get a weapon from under the right by going up to the center of the apron and holding L1/LB, there's one weapon under each side of the ring. The bottom, right, and top areas will give you a steel chair while the left side of the ring will give you Triple H's sledgehammer. Along with those items, you can use either of the steel steps that are at ringside or grab the ring bell that's over near the announcer's table. Speaking of the announcer's table, it's also free to destroy at your convenience.

Make good use of these weapons as it's a great way to quickly deal damage as well as keep The Deadman on his back. Every foreign object in the game can be used four times before it is either too damaged to continue using, or your wrestler simply discards it. Chairs will break after four hits and can no longer be used, however the steps, ring bell, and sledgehammer can all be picked up again after the fourth hit. Undertaker rarely has gone for weapons in my fights against him, so this is another advantage you can potentially use. Just be careful though, Taker will occasionally try to grab those weapons from out of your hands.

5) Practice your reversals

If you are not very familiar with the timing of reversals in WWE 2K14, your match against Undertaker is going to most likely be a short one. You need to at least become component at reversing moves in this game because of Undertaker's relentless offense, and because he will be reversing a lot of your moves as well.

Pretty much every move in the game has a window of opportunity to pull off a reversal, including finishing moves. Obviously some moves have bigger windows than others, but the reward for reversals become greater the bigger the move you reverse. The key thing I would focus on is learning how to reverse attempted Irish Whips. If you're going to be focusing on keeping the fight outside of the ring, like I suggested, then Undertaker will make multiple attempts to throw you back into the ring. Timing a reversal for these isn't very tough, and it can easily keep you in a match and keep everything in your favor.

6) Be extra careful when Undertaker has a finisher

Undertaker is devastating enough in this match, when he has a finisher stored and ready to go things tend to go downhill in a hurry for you. Having a finisher available opens up even more tricks for Undertaker that will, obviously, end in you receiving one of his multiple finishing maneuvers. If Taker has a finisher ready to go, don't even think about attempting any kind of aerial move on him. Doing so will result in Taker snatching you out of the air and promptly reversing whatever you were going to do into a Tombstone Piledriver, reminiscent of how the Undertaker/Shawn Micheals WrestleMania 25 match ended.

If Undertaker has a finisher available, see tip #3 and immediately get out of the ring as fast as you can. Taking a finisher from Undertaker while in the ring will almost certainly result in the match being over, especially if you've already used your resiliency buff. Take the fight to the outside and get in as much damage as you can. Taking a finisher on the outside of the ring is bad, but it's better than watching it happen while in the ring. Since Undertaker needs you in the ring to pin you, he has to throw you back into the ring, which means you'll get a free opportunity to reverse his Irish whip attempt and save yourself.

7) Don't taunt, ever

Normally in WWE 2K14 if you have a finisher ready to go and your opponent is on the ground, you can perform a special "wake-up" taunt that will cause your opponent to groggily return to his feet and easily set up your finishing move. Do not attempt a wake-up taunt against The Undertaker in this match. Attempting to do this will cause Undertaker to do his patented "zombie sit-up", return to his feet immediately, and deliver a Tombstone Piledriver to you. And since wake-up taunts are noticeably longer than your traditional taunts, there's no way you can avoid this from happening.

This scenario doesn't always happen to me, however it happens about nine out of ten times, so it happens often enough that I'd discourage you from attempting wake-up taunts in any capacity as it's just too risky. On top of that, I'd simply say just do not taunt Undertaker ever unless there's a very sizable amount of space between you and him. I have no evidence to support this, but Undertaker seems to get a bit more aggressive if he's taunted. Along with that, taunt's cannot be interrupted in WWE 2K14, so you effectively become a sitting duck until your taunt is over.

8) Want a potentially easier fight? Take on retro Undertaker

After you pick your wrestler you get an option to fight present day Undertaker or retro Undertaker. Modern Undertaker is bald and comes to the ring in a cloak that makes you think he just returned from winning the Mortal Kombat tournament. Retro Undertaker is the 90's purple & black version who looks like an old western mortician, and has significantly fewer tattoos (personally, I think retro Undertaker looks substantially more badass). Apparently you can also fight the American Bad-Ass biker Undertaker, but that's only if you have the pre-order DLC for him (which I currently do not have).

Personally, I find retro Undertaker to be a slightly easier challenge than modern Undertaker. Modern Undertaker has a larger move set than retro Undertaker, obviously because he learned more moves in the last fifteen years, and a couple of his newer moves are pretty devastating - primarily his Last Ride power bomb and his Hell's Gate submission hold (yes, Undertaker has a submission hold, and you never want to be caught in it). The Hell's Gate submission hold is a particular tricky thing to fight against when taking on modern Undertaker because it's a move that he'll pull out of nowhere at very unexpected times, such as when you're about to attempt a pin or to try and pick him up off the ground. If you're using a wrestler who is especially susceptible to submissions, then modern Undertaker is going to give you problems. Saying that retro Undertaker is "easier" feels like a half truth considering he can destroy you at the drop of a hat, but he at least doesn't have a trick or two that his present day version will not have.

Snapping Undertaker's undefeated streak is by far the hardest thing to do in WWE 2K14. This game mode is very unfair in its own ways. Undertaker will be reversing you a ton, his moves do a ton of damage, he pulls finishers out of seemingly thin air, and you will get frustrated at some point. Hopefully a few of my tips here help make things easier for you.

Now go make us proud all of you little Hulkamaniacs.

Welcome to the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures
Initiated in 1825 and officially established in 1897, The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard continues to enjoy a prestigious and highly regarded reputation, offering undergraduate concentrations, secondary fields, and doctoral training in a broad variety of texts, media, and other cultural productions. Faculty share a number of intellectual engagements in both German and Scandinavian materials across the centuries, from the medieval period to the present day. Our curriculum is supplemented by cross-disciplinary interests in art history, music, and visual culture, critical theory and philosophy, the history of science, performance studies, folklore, anthropology, and ethnopoetics, taking fullest advantage of the incomparably rich and unique collections held at the Harvard Libraries, Art Museums and Film Archive.
In addition to rigorous training in theory and the interpretation of literary and cultural materials, both within and outside of the canon, graduate students are encouraged to develop individualized courses of study across the University in preparation for successful careers in teaching, research and related work. To this end, the Department consistently maintains a vibrant series of invited lectures, colloquia, conferences, and workshops. Moreover, theater productions, musical events, and informal social gatherings, including a bi-weekly Kaffeestunde, make an engaging and enriching contribution to our undergraduate concentrations and language programs.
Upcoming Events
Henrik Williams, Uppsala University: "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll in Runic Times"
Henrik Williams holds the professorship in Scandinavian Languages at Uppsala University and was recently awarded the Rudbeck medal for his ground-breaking work in runology. His lecture, which will discuss some perhaps unexpected human activities recorded in runic inscriptions, is open to the public.
Karl S. Guthke, Kuno Francke Research Professor of German (Harvard), "Lebenszeit ohne Ende. Wunschtraum und Alptraum in Wissenschaft und Literatur"
"Post-Phonements"--Avital Ronell, The Telephone Book--25th Anniversary, with presentations by Judith Butler, Samuel Weber, Hent de Vries, Homi Bhabha, Thomas Schestag, and Avital Ronell.
Avital Ronell's Telephone Book first appeared in 1989, the annus mirabilis that witnessed vast waves of dissent, protest and resistance: revolutions across Eastern Europe; uprisings and violent oppression in China; and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Revolutionary in its own right, Ronell's untimely intervention would in hindsight prove to have arrived extraordinarily on time. Today, following twenty-five years of unprecedented technological and medial profusion, of persistent electrification and schizo experience, Ronell's work deserves and even demands commemoration, re-assessment, and further prognostications.
