Raising Interest in your GM Releases
Latest Update: Saturday 20th October, 2007
Written by Rhys Andrews
An example topic layout and game is available at the bottom of this post!
Being the 370th person ever to join these forums, I've examined how people respond to topics, how they create them, when, why, and even where, and how others take those responses. In fact, lately, it has been stressing me to see people blindingly respond and edit their topics to die out the chances of others replying to them. This topic will give you some tricks of the trade, and some tricks that most of us know - to really polish off your GM-Release Topics, and your GM-WIP Topics - to really give a bigger chance of people responding to them. You need to remember that this guide focuses on your topic layout, not your game. There will not be a dramatic increase in replies, however these guides will definitely contribute towards it, as well as give a nice layout for the community.
Part One || Your Game
Now obviously, the quality of your game is extremely important; if someone views your topic, only to see a review flaming how badly designed your game is, their chances of trying the game out them self is very low. It's also obvious you need to work hard on your overall performance, quality, and fun in your game. However, I'm not going into that.. I'm going into the simple features.
- Make sure your game has a strong documentation. If you leave out all the keys or the story or what the hell the game IS, you aren't going to like the output of the reviewers. Do NOT put the documentation in the games topic, having to refer to the topic while playing can get irritating.
- Make the game actually seem like a game, not an engine. Give your game a menu system, a customised loading screen, and its own icon. One of your biggest goals is to make the game look and feel like it wasn't created with Game Maker; that's what shocks people the most.
- Completely disregard presenting this game to the public if you made it "because you were bored". This tends to end in flamewars.
- Any external documentation files should be in either PDF, TXT, or DOC format (PDF is the most professional option, TXT is good too). They need the basics... Story, How to Play, Controls, and Credits. Also allow people to access this easily inside the game (loading the file in-game with a press of a button, or opening a graphical version as part of the menu).
- Give a lot of options. A lot of people test out your game while listening to music, and if music is playing on the game that isn't mutable; You'll get some bad comments. Allow for a quick and easy way of muting music, switching resolutions, etc. It's really recommended that you have "No Change" for resolution, otherwise you'll have 1280X1024 resolutions stretching to say 800X600, pushing all the currently open windows up into the top-left corner.
It's everywhere: Make sure you use a fast host! Don't use free webs or Geocities! Give a description of what the game IS! Well let's make it a little more informative, descriptive, and clear.
- Make sure anyone can get access to your game; compress your game into a ZIP file, not a RAR file. If you have WinRAR, WinRAR can compress to both ZIP and RAR files. Remember, you are serving the viewers, they are not serving you. So you must be responsible for making sure they can download and run the game without a hassle. Also, make sure the host does not require registration to download, but just a few clicks (at the most).
- No installers! GM Games are only usually 1 file, sometimes a few more for DLLs and external files; Installers are irrelevant if you're just installing 1 file. People don't want a shortcut to your game in the desktop/quicklaunch/startbar. Keep the files directly inside the zip file.
- Fast Hosts; People aren't going to download from hosts that go at 2kb/s, so don't' host there. Use the pinned topic in this forum for good hosts (found here), or ask a friend to host it on their server for you. Also, put into consideration that people don't want to be directed to your site; they want to be directed to your GAME LINK; you can link them to your site somewhere else in the topic, but always allow a direct link. And that direct link needs to be clear and straight in your topic, not a signature and not small text.
- Multiple Mirrors; on the common case of a server going down or completely shutting down, it's good to have multiple mirrors. That way, the topic will cover for dead links itself, and you won't have to edit and upload all the time.
There are tons of topics around that has too little or too much or irrelevant information on the message body. You need to level it perfectly to get people to enjoy your game more; Yes, the topic can affect how people enjoy the game by a lot, because it gives them a bit of knowledge about who you are, so they would know what the purpose of the game is, thus would appreciate it more for what it is.
- Use a lot of italics, bold, size changes, and alignments where appropriate. Give Italics when you want to emphasize something, or make your text Bold to grab the viewer's attention. Make headings bigger than subheadings and subheadings bigger than body text. Colour important text [color="red"]red.
- Do NOT give the controls in the body text; people do not need to know this until they've opened the game. Make sure what you insert in this topic only shows the important info to make the viewer want to try out your game, and make sure you give them ALL the important info. Split that info into groups.
- SCREENSHOTS. They're very important. It's also good to have small thumbnails, and hyperlink them to the full size; image shack gives you a BBcode for automatically having thumbnails, etc. Screenshots are easy to take - Game Maker 7 has a shortcut key to save them, and if you're not using Gm7, just press the PRINT SCREEN button, between F12 and Scroll Lock on most keyboards - then paste in paint.
- Do not say things that make people praise you more... like humbly saying "I did this in a few hours, hope you like it", or "it's not that good, but I thought I'd release it anyway". Keep the topics looking formal, as if you don't think anything about your game, you're simply here to give it to the viewers, and let them decide. It's also not important info, so viewers won't respect the comments.
- Most importantly, NEVER use the "ph34r" or "medieval" emoticons (ninja-smiley and warrior-smiley). It really makes people think you're all teletubby like... well that's not necessarily the word, but just don't use them. Actually, don't use the "lol", "chiken", "rambo", or "lmao" smilies either.
- Keep the email talk and abbreviations out. lol and lmao and omgwtfpwned really puts a dent in the formality of your topic.
- Make your topic title the name of the game, not "My first game" or anything like that. As for the description, make sure it's something that will attract the viewers' attention. Download count (even an estimate is ok), Viewers Comments, or a simple slogan or description about the game.
- Preview your topic before posting. Quite often you'll forget to close tags, leaving a messy looking design. Also, spell-check your work (unless you very rarely spell a mistake, in which case you should just quick-review your work).
- You can find.Ablach Blackrats topic format (found here) if you cannot get your own going.
- Your topic is useless without a download link, so make sure it's easy to see, and that it isn't in your signature or it doesn't take a bit of forum browsing (or site browsing) to reach. It needs to be *right there*.
- Use the or icon for the post icon, to kind of show the user which version the game was created on (definitely helps for people with compatibility issues)
- Sometimes its a good idea to inform the public what type of functions you use in this game... like particles, surfaces, texture primitives, etc. Because I for one know a lot of people have issues with say just particles, or just surfaces.
- Spellcheck your work. It's absolutely vital to keep your design/layout nice. If English isn't your native language and/or you simply aren't 100% familiar with English grammar, get a friend to rewrite it for you. And don't trust the language converters on say Google.
- Using D&D Icons are a nice little upgrade to your topics design. Use them via clicking "Show All" just under the emoticons list. Some people use these icons next to their subheadings (for instance "Download Mirrors" or "Description"), using an icon that looks similar to the purpose of that sub-heading.
This is REALLY important; I'm telling you WHEN, HOW, and WHY to respond to your own topic.
- Most importantly, your repliers have put time out to test your release. No matter what, do NOT get annoyed or angry at them; a nice comment that corrects them, yes, but what they say is up to them so long as it's within the GMC Rules and ethical rights.
- It's their review, so let them say whatever they want about it. If they report a bug you know about, thank them, and don't say that you already knew about that one. It's your own mistake for not giving a known bugs list; and if you did, read the first point.
- Put their suggestions, reviews, and bug reports into SERIOUS consideration, especially if your work is a work-in-progress. Viewers are the people that are going to be playing your game, so let them get what they want, they know what they want.
- Believe it or not, people are less likely to even visit your topic if you are the latest replier. If you don't believe me, try it out sometime. In which case, don't reply unless you have to, and upon replying, Make sure you acknowledge EVERYONES comments. At least you're minimizing your replies, and still covering everyone's thoughts.
- Don't flame back flamers. This will screw up your topic with a huge flamewar, and would probably end in a topic close. Just report any unfair comments and moderators will take it into their own hands.
- If you have more news on your release, edit your topic-message with the new news, and only post a new reply with the news if you are not the latest responder. This could result in a topic lock if otherwise.
- Quote replies before responding to them; Make sure to have their name in the quote box. Lead by example:
Yes, Thankyou for that.As you can see my name is in the title-bar of the quote

IntroductoryThis guide is designed to squeeze all the juice out of your topic, making sure you get every last drop of replies possible. At one point in time, Hero_Yuy suggested that I create an example topic, that follows all the guides shown on the pinned topic. Well, I've decided to take that suggestion on board, and as you see now, I've created an ideal topic layout. Some of you may argue some problems with it, I guess some things are different according to opinion. Anyway, to go along with this topic I've created a mini-game that also follows the few guides about games themselves. Do enjoy this small little game; Submit your score if you wish!

Welcome, and thank you so much for your interest in our beloved bully breeds! A "bully breed" is a slang term that loosely refers to any dog breed of bulldog ancestry, chief among them, the American pit bull terrier. The NEBBC has a special affinity for any breed that is discriminated against. All breeds and ages are welcome at our events! You need not have a bully to be part of our group, only a love of them! So grab your pooch and join us for a walk, hike, fundraiser, training class or play d …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This Meetup is for anyone who loves bully breeds (American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Boxers, etc.) and wants a chance to meet up with other bully breed owners and socialize their dogs with pack walks and off-leash hikes/walking adventures, and an occasional meetup at a dog park or dog-related event going on in the area. I look forward to meeting responsible bully breed owners that can restore the tarnished reputations these breeds have.
"Calling all medium and big dogs owners! Let's have our "4-legged" children (rescued or purchased, mixed or pure breed) meet and socialize once a week on either Saturday or Sunday at a near-by park. We can laugh over their antics, swap dog stories and brag about our beloved pets.
Boston Dogs Organization is the play-date, playgroup, reference section, dog and owner communication portal, extension of its nonprofit www.boston-dogs.org Our parent nonprofit specializes in unique, holistic, individual training; performing surrender interventions; facilitating rescue transportation and placements; and constant canine political advocacy (we spearheaded the first criminal devocalization Bill in the USA "Logan's Law" and passed it 155 - 1 by the MA legislature and signed by Gove …

I have 2 standard poodles who love to play and socialize. We go to a couple of other dog meetups but don't meet too many other big dogs for running and more robust play. We're hoping to get together with any larger breeds who like to play and run too. We live in Southie, but we especially like Cat Rock Park in Weston. We are open to anyplace we can be off-leash in a safe or fenced place.
Meet with other local Active Dogs Owners that live in the Greater Boston Area for FREE! This group is for anyone looking to take their dog-friendly pooch out for some fun and socialization, but not wanting to drive all the way into Boston. Convenient location off of I-95. Lots of indoor & outdoor space available year round. All sized dogs and breeds welcome!
Where dog lovers can get together and have play dates, share advice and friendship. We have a large indoor area special designed for doggy play dates. We provide various toys and plentiful water. There is a play pen to separate large breeds from small breeds if desired. A great place to exercise your dog.
This is a group for anyone with a Lab or Lab mix who enjoys the outdoors and wants their dog to socialize with other Labs. I love taking my dog Riley to the park and for hikes on the weekends, and I thought I would start this group to see if anyone else wants to join in. We will meet a couple times a month at different places around the state or in MA. I'm also looking for some ideas for new places to go.
Meetup details are available only to members.

Our events are *not* intended to be primarily off-leash (there are other dog meetups that do feature off-leash activities). Because many of these breeds have he …
This is a group for dog owners who like to walk their dog at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. I enjoy taking my Boston terrier for walks there and thought it would be fun to form a pack walk. My dog isn't ready for off leash walks yet by herself but has done well off leash in a pack. I'd like to walk on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise! We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …

Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …

This Day in 1912 in The Record: Nov. 16, 1912
Saturday, Nov. 16, 1912. "At last the green flag of the holy war has been officially lifted," The Record's Religious Rambler writes, "The dread threat which has terrorized Christendom for a thousand years has been fulfilled."
In response to an invasion of the Ottoman Empire by a coalition of Balkan states, the Sheikh ul-Islam, the empire's "highest ecclesiastical official," has declared a "jehad," as the term was spelled by Americans in 1912. Supposedly, "Moslems mist fight against Christians to the death, and if they fall in the fighting they have the surest, swiftest road to the delights of the Moslem paradise."
As the Rambler, our weekend religion columnist, observes, "There has been no more romantic delusion entertained in civilized centers for centuries than this one of the potency of the holy war which the sultan of Turkey or his representative, the Sheikh ul-Islam, have power to declare. Visions of an uprising of all Moslem subjects, all over the earth, is a nightmare of European statesmen."
The Ottoman sultan is regarded as the heir of the authentic Islamic caliphate by many Sunni Muslims. No person or office has comparable authority in 21st century Islam.
The Rambler believes that fears of a global Muslim uprising are mostly groundless. Most Muslim countries are ruled by European powers, while the Muslim residents of the Philippines are governed by the United States, and most Muslims live far from Turkey. Instead of rebellions breaking out in these countries, or jihadists rushing to Turkey, "What actually will happen as a consequence of the formal and official declaration of a holy war … is the massacre of Christians in remote communities throughout the empire," the columnist predicts.
Worldwide, "The jehad has lost its terrors with the passage of time. Civilization is too complicated for the simple passion of vengeance and religious fanaticism to have free sway." In the future, "Whatever victories the faith of the prophet wins must be won by spiritual and intellectual weapons."
RPI FOOTBALL. Hosting heavily-favored Norwich today, the RPI football team "played the best game it has shown this season," our sportswriter reports. The "Cherry and White" eleven claims a moral victory by sending Norwich home with a scoreless tie.
Defense dominates the game. "The local players outshone their opponents in tackling, the work of the Cherry and White players being deadly in a great majority of cases." The RPI defense saves the game after an interception return puts Norwich on the home three-yard line. A goal-line stand forces the visitors to give the ball up on downs. RPI's last drive just crosses midfield as time expires.

Community members joined some of the family of Private Danny Chen in Chinatown before about 12 of them started the 10-hour ride.
Sergeant Adam Holcomb is the first of eight soldiers facing charges in the case.
Investigators said Chen shot himself while stationed in Afghanistan after weeks of severe hazing.
"I think it's important for the army to know that the community stands strong behind the family and also for the people who are charged in this case to really look all of us in the eye and tell us, you know, why did you do this to Danny," said Councilwoman Margaret Chin.
The trial will begin at Fort Bragg Tuesday.

Call off the blitz and take away the pads and helmets however and you'll meet three of Robeson County's brightest players, a trio of humble athletes who led their teams to varying levels of success at different positions this season.
Red Springs quarterback Blake Greene and St. Pauls running back Shawn Williams — The Robesonian's Heisman and Offensive Player of the Year — combined for nearly 100 touchdowns over 27 combined games while Lumberton's Mac McGill was one of the Southeastern Conference's leading tacklers despite playing most of the season with an injured hand and ailing shoulder.
"You give me those three guys on a Robeson County all-star team and I can win a lot of games," the county's coach of the year George Coltharp said.
Imagine starting a program with a dual-threat signal caller like Greene complimented by a power-runner who is dominant in the red zone and a tackler on defense who knows where his teammates need to be on every play. Scary stuff. Getting to know these three both on the field and off this season has been equally rewarding as a journalist, from learning the ins-and-outs of a no-huddle offense to understanding what a linebacker looks for after his first step.
The Robesonian's prep football awards dinner, a first of its kind, was a fitting end to an exciting season Monday night thanks to restaurant owner Arnold West and Robby Pittman of GameTime Screen Printing in Lumberton. Village Station hosted the event and fed the players while Pittman donated plaques and trophies to the award recipients.
"These are three great players and George has done a heck of a job these last two seasons," Pittman said. "I like seeing talent and these kids recognized in Robeson County."

Normally with some overclock and two GPUs you don`t need something higher than 850W, i guess. But this 1200w is really a monster. Great review!
Why the heck were you using screws that long? Use the included screws and you won't have any problems.
I was also testing a case during that time and that came with those specific screws for the power supply. Went along with what the case manual was going by because that case had some very odd screws, not the standard ones you see in 90% of the cases.

thanks for the review > and explaining a bit about the snafu with the screws you encountered.Don't think I 'll need a PSU with that type of power output but good to read about all the same.

The couple, who wed last July in a Cotswolds village, are reportedly planning a party for friends, as well as getting tickets to attend the music event.
A source told The Sun that the supermodel is working hard to spend time with the Kills guitarist.
They revealed: "Kate is going to spend some time with Jamie on the Kills' tour next month.
"After that, they're going to try to squeeze in a holiday to Sri Lanka for some time alone together. Then a group of their friends are joining them on the Isle of Wight for a proper boozy wedding renewal celebration."
According to the insider, Moss is "keen to show everyone that just because she's married, it doesn't mean she's going to slow down any time soon".
Last year, the 38-year-old fashion icon spent time at the festival with 12 friends, including The Kills singer Alison Mosshart, Jade Jagger and Sadie Frost.
The Isle of Wight Festival takes place between June 21 and June 24 at Seaclode Park, Newport.
Acts confirmed for this year's event include Lana Del Rey, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Elbow, Labrinth, Enter Shikari and Kelis.

GAATW-Female Temporary Circular Migration in Huelva
May 03 2011
Download right click "save as"
This research connects macroeconomics to a micro example of reality lived on the ground by looking at these issues in the context of a female temporary migration programme located within the agriculture sector in Huelva, Spain.Over the decades, Huelva's strawberry sector has experienced an enormous transformation, a consequence of its insertion into a globalised capitalist model of intensive market-orientated agriculture production. Huelva has become the second largest strawberry producer in the world; this boom (together with the expansion of other sectors such as construction and tourism and Spain's entry into the EU) has helped to take Huelva (and the whole Andalucía region) out of its historic under-development. But this has come at a high price.

Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama
Written and illustrated by Alison Bechdel
Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Genre: Autobiography/Memoir
304 pages
From the best-selling author of Fun Home, Time magazine's No. 1 Book of the Year, a brilliantly told graphic memoir of Alison Bechdel becoming the artist her mother wanted to be.
Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood… and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel's own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother—to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.
Best of Enemies: A History of US and Middle East Relations Part One: 1783-1953
Written by Jean-Pierre Filiu
Illustrated by David B.
Published by Selfmadehero
Genre: Non-Fiction, Political History
120 pages
The first volume of a ground-breaking graphic novel series on US-Middle East relations.
David B. and Professor Filiu draw striking parallels between ancient and contemporary political history in this look at US-Middle East relations. The reader is transported to the pirate-choked Mediterranean sea, where Christians and Muslims continue the Crusades, only this time on water. As the centuries pass, the traditional victims of the Muslim pirates – the British, French, and Spanish – all become empire-building powers whose sights lie beyond the Mediterranean.
Jean-Pierre Filiu is a world-renowned expert on the Middle East. David B. is an Eisner Award-nominated artist.
The Flowers of Evil
Written and illustrated by Shuzo Oshimi
Published by Vertical, Inc.
Genre: Romantic Comedy
208 pages
One of the most popular manga series in Japan today makes its U.S. debut with The Flowers of Evil, Volume 1. In this romantic comedy featuring a teenage boy obsessed with a beautiful classmate—and with the poetry of Beaudelaire—award-winning, best-selling author Shuzo Oshimi pens a coming-of-age tale that will appeal to girls and guys alike.
The story opens as middle school student Takao Kasuga receives an F on a math test. But he doesn't even seem to notice because he's too engrossed in surreptitiously reading Beaudelaire's The Flowers of Evil. And the day goes downhill from there. In a moment of weakness, he finds and takes home the gym clothes belonging to sweet, pretty Nanako Saeki on whom he has a major crush. Unfortunately for Takao, there's a witness to the theft: Nakamura, who has a huge chip on her shoulder and a sadistic streak.
As the saga unfolds, we see Takao struggling to decide whether to confess or cover up his misdeeds at the same time that he tries to win over the girl of his dreams, and avoid the blackmail attempts of Nakamura, his new "BFF."
Smart, funny, and emotionally engaging, The Flowers of Evil introduces a character who's not a hero, but just an ordinary teenager in search of true love and real friendship.

It's no lie: Chelsea Handler loves to smoke out "dumbassness", the condition people suffer from that allows them to fall prey to her brand of complete and utter nonsense. Friends, family, co-workers - they've all been tricked by Chelsea into believing stories of total foolishness and into behaving like total fools. Luckily, they've lived to tell the tales and, for the very first time, write about them.
©2011 Chelsea Handler (P)2011 Hachette Audio
long commute=audible reading time
"Not as good as "Vodka, it's Chelse...""
I got this after literally rolling on the floor listening to "Vodka, it's Chelsea." While this was kinda of funny, it just wasn't as good. Could be cause it is based entirely on pranks she pulls rather than her self-deprecating humor that was so funny.
I work in sales for a cellphone company and so obviously love technology. I couldn't function without my Audible apps on my phones!!
"Money Grab… Chelsea Owes Me a Credit!"
First off let me say I am (or rather was) a huge Chelsea fan! When she is on her A game she is possibly the funniest woman alive. Her previous 3 books have had me laughing out loud and sharing them with all my girlfriends.
This book however is simply a sad attempt at a money grab. It appears as though Chelsea had nothing to do with this book, yet has shamelessly plastered her name and image all over it. Granted the stories are about her (for the most part) but are written by others poorly attempting to emulate her style. Its truly terrible and they should all be ashamed. *Spoiler Alert* One chapter is 'written by' Chunk… Yes Chunk. Her dog. Need I say more?
I have never been more annoyed over the complete waste of a credit! I warn you, if you are hoping for classic Chelsea, skip this and just re-enjoy one of her old books.
"I loved it... but I "get" the humor."
I listened to this without first reading other reviews, because Chelsea Handler makes me laugh on a nightly basis. Now reading them, I don't understand other reviewers saying, "I love her, but reading this makes me realize that she's cruel/immature/mean..." Have you never seen her?
I think most people don't have friendships that are so obnoxiously immature on the outside. I think that's why they don't "get it." My core group of friends/family say and do crazy things to each other constantly in order to get a laugh. If you sat in a room with my best friend and I, you'd think we hated each other by the way we talk sometimes. However, the people in my world would do ANYTHING for me, and I for them. There isn't one person in this book that doesn't say that very thing about her.
If you don't get why people do obnoxious things to their friends, this book isn't for you... but then again, I don't know why you'd read it in the first place. If you can watch Chelsea Handler's show and not get that she's obnoxious and bitchy, you're missing something. This book answers the question, "I wonder how bitchy she really can be," answer being, "A LOT." It's college frat boy humor... she's a jackass boy with breasts.
I thought this book was funnier than VODKA... I actually didn't like that one at all. Having said that, I didn't think every narrator was great, but I did like hearing each voice separately. I do think that Chelsea Handler should have narrated her own part. Hearing other voices, especially those you "know" (Heather McDonald, Josh Wolf, Roy Handler) makes it weird when someone is else is reading her part. There are also musical transitions separating each chapter that I thought were weird and out of place.
"Meh. Maybe..."
The energy from some of the narrators was a little dead. It felt as if they had been reading for hours, and they were at the very end and restless.
It would have been so much better if Chelsea Handler could have read her parts. Everybody else read their own parts. Chelsea Handler has such a nice voice...
No. I think I'll just have to pay more attention to the reviews before i purchase.
I like that the stories were told by the people who wrote it, and by the people the events happened to. It was nice that they were able to mimic the sounds of surprise or the accents spoken. The pauses were accurate and done in a way that I would not have been able to imagine reading on my own.
See above for dislikes.
The book was entertaining. It made me giggle on the inside often. It was just evident that none of these people are used to writing in book format. It was so poorly written, that even the decent performances couldn't save it. It was entertaining and worth a listen if it is free.
"The characters become real"
The characters in all of Handler's previous books finally become real and take the reins in this book.
Chelsea graciously replies to each story with her own rebuttal in the only way she knows how: delightfully insulting.
Chelsea is able to bring those around her into her schemes to make them more realistic. She convinces can take somebody's weakness and exploit it to the brink of destruction. She had an OCD colleague convinced that her employee was becoming her adoptive son, living with her, going on vacations with her, not paying rent... but it was never true. This wouldn't bother most people, but Chelsea knew an OCD wouldn't be able to take it. Brilliant.
Everything. I'd love to be Chelsea's friend.
I loved 'Vodka' and I have to compare the laugh-out-loud humor of that book to this one, which offers just a few smiles. And these aren't worth wading through all the cruel pranks that are reported with no real explanation of why these people are Chelsea's 'friends' except that they're on the payroll. I tried hard to like this, but my mood and morale were deteriorating from all the pointless profanity, slimy images, and unchallenging, childish humor.
"Yuck and more yuck!"
Nothing at all. These are horrible stories about practical jokes that are way to over the top for my taste. I do think she if funny but the things she does to the people in her life are horrible and cruel and I guess that is where I draw the line of funny.
No, not at all but will just be more careful in the future about reading others reviews.
No, I could not even finish it. It made me want my money back for purchasing it.
"this was a horrible book!"
I had to stop listening to it because it was sickening to hear how horribly violating Chelsea is to her friends, family, and coworkers. I did not find anything she does to people she knows funny or even interesting. The only reason I purchased it was because several people I know say that she is "hilarious"...I did not find anything about her even remotely funny.
It was really sad to hear what people closest to her are willing to tolerate just to be near her or associated with her in anyway. It was disgusting. I regret to have wasted my money on this very sad tale of how she violates others and gets away with it, legally and otherwise. I hope that at the very least, the royalties for this "piece" goes to her victims and none to her.
I will never recommend anything about her to anyone other than those who want to study people with deviant behaviors.
Radio Announcer, Media Consultant, biography phreak. Also a business, negotiation, and pop culture book lover...
I adore Chelsea Handler...on TV anyway. What a dissapointment. After I downloaded it, a friend said she wished she'd warned me. She said (and she was right) this is a poor account of immature mean spirited acts supposedly by CH. It doesn't roll out as funny or interesting...just kinda mean. I just kept saying, "wow, what an uncool thing to do to someone." Why would you want a book like this to come out? Sorry, Chels...I would've bought anything from you...not now. This book sort of weirded me out.

Lip Service: Improve Your Kisser
Did you know that the skin on your lips is one of the most sensitive areas of the body? Chances are you have an idea given how sensational kissing can feel. But you know what doesn't feel good? Puckering up with someone who has a dry, chapped kisser. At LUSH we couldn't agree more so we assembled a range of scrubs, balms, and tints to keep your pout smooth and fabulous. By exfoliating, moisturizing, and adding subtle color, you can improve your best asset.
Pretty in Pink
This super sweet and super softening trio is perfect for candy flavored kisses and pretty pink pouts. Begin with our good enough to eat Bubble Gum Lip Scrub to sweeten up tired kissers. This blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and moisturizing castor oil leaves behind a smoother pout. Follow up with our sweet as can bee Honey Trap Lip Balm loaded with a hydrating dose of real honey. Finish with a tint designed to manifest new beginnings. It Started With a Kiss Lip Tint paints your lips with an irresistible dewy hint of pinky-red color. With a pout this pretty there's no telling what could happen (or who you'll be kissing).
Out on the Town
When you're ready to glam it up for a night out on the town start by getting your lips in check. A gentle exfoliation with our Sweet Lips Lip Scrub is just the trick to turn a dull pout into a sexy, magnetic smile. Keep the good times going with Lip Service Lip Balm. This classic cocoa butter and beeswax balm will plump and prep your pucker for your lip tint or lipstick. What's more glamorous than Marilyn Monroe inspired red lips? To achieve the prefect ruby shade try A Million Kisses Lip Tint for a subtle, moisturized kisser. Finish with Decisive, Power or Ambition Liquid Lipsticks from our Emotional Brilliance Range for an over the top pucker that won't take no for an answer. Planning on a quiet evening of café cruising and couch surfing instead? Skip the lipstick and opt for our subtle bronzy Latte Lip Tint.
Let's hear it for the Boys
Guys, let's get down to business, if you want more face time, and we're not talking about your iPhone, you have to take care of your pucker too. Don't be shy; start out with our Mint Julips Lip Scrub to get rid of all the rough stuff that tends to build up when the weather turns cold. This sweet minty delight is made from edible ingredients so feel free lick it off once you're feeling smooth. Finish off with our LUSH classic, Lip Service, a super softening cocoa butter, beeswax and tangerine oil lip balm. This orangey treat will moisturize and tone lips for the perfect pucker that's ready primetime. And for you he-gans (male vegans) out there try our beeswax-free balm, appropriately called None of your Beeswax.

With six games in the books and six remaining, the Tampa Bay Rowdies — tied with Carolina for first in the league standings — are in an optimal position at the NASL Spring Season's halfway point. A spot in the Soccer Bowl (Nov. 9) is the reward for winning the Spring Season. Here's a …
PLANT CITY — VSI Tampa Bay FC had plenty of motivation entering its U.S. Open Cup second-round match against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
TAMPA — The left back position has been worrisome all season for the Rowdies, mainly because of the team's lack of a truly experienced player to fill that spot.
ST. PETERSBURG — With a week off until a May 18 game at Minnesota United FC, the Rowdies hope a string of injuries that have hampered the team during the first half of the NASL spring season will heal.
ST. PETERSBURG — Heading into their lone bye week of the NASL spring season, the Tampa Bay Rowdies needed a victory against Edmonton to keep pace with the rest of the teams atop the league standings.
ST. PETERSBURG — Wherever Jordan Gafa has landed during his soccer career, Frankie Sanfilippo has been close by to lend a helping hand.
FORT LAUDERDALE — Luke Mulholland scored his third goal of the season and Alex Dixon his first to lift the Rowdies to a 2-1 victory over Fort Lauderdale on Saturday.
. Tonight
Rowdies at Fort Lauderdale
When/where: 7:30; Lockhart Stadium
TAMPA — Having time to dissect Saturday's second-half meltdown, in which a 3-1 lead turned into a 4-3 loss to Atlanta, Rowdies coach Ricky Hill pointed to myriad factors.
ST. PETERSBURG — With two goals and an assist against Atlanta on Saturday night, Luke Mulholland matched Aaron King for the best performance by a Rowdies player since the team's re-emergence in 2010.

To those of you native to Houston, you are quite familiar with the 24 hour Starbucks in the Galleria area appropriately named "Club Starbucks." The Westheimer and Post Oak location is one of the highest grossing stores for the coffee franchise in the country. The bustling crowd remains strong well through the wee hours of the night on any given weekend. If you frequent the location at night, you can't help but notice the biker clubs that occupy the majority of the parking spaces out front. One night may feature a number of Harley Davidsons while another night may spotlight a number of Yamahas and Kawasakis. It's really a trip because the owners of these fine pieces of machinery are hanging out of all places at a STARBUCKS. You'd think these bad mamajammas would be showing off their bad to the bone swagger at a local bar, but nooooo, it seems Starbucks is the new post-up shop for these 'gangstas' as evident in a fairly recent California incident.
A few days ago, the worst California Biker feud in a decade erupted in a turf war that started over…you guessed it – Starbucks! Several men were killed and/or wounded at a casino in a scuffle between the notorious Hell's Angels and their rival Vagos motorcycle club. One of the casualties included the Hells' Angels president of the California Chapter Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew.
While biker brawls are nothing new, what's interesting about this one is the source of the conflict. An investigation revealed that the gangs' rivalry was renewed in January of 2010 over some enviable real estate – Starbucks! The Hell's Angels were posted up at a Santa Cruz Starbucks, acting cool and collected, when members of the Vagos club came wielding ball-peen hammers. And why? According to Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark, "It was all about who would be allowed to hang out at the Starbucks downtown. The Vagos brazenly came in and tried to cement their presence. It was a pretty strong play on their part to establish themselves as the premiere club."
He added: "Only in Santa Cruz would you have biker wars over who's going to control pumpkin spice lattes."
Correction, part two maybe coming to a Houston Starbucks near you…and this time for the seasonal classic peppermint mocha!

Tried to listen once... about a week ago.
Tommy from Malden called in and started hitting on the female host. He was complimenting her on her tattoos, saying he normally doesn't find them attractive but hers are alright. Really creepy shit.
Had to bail after that.

The reason for staying at this hotel and the clientele it attracts should be fairly obvious. You're paying for the location, and although it's nothing spectacular it's certainly reasonable value. We stayed in a double room, which was typical of other hotels (small prefab room). The room was possibly a little smaller than you could get at the same price... More

From Rubble to Restoration
But you are God, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness, and did not forsake them. (Nehemiah 9:17)
Jerusalem, the city meant to declare God's name, lies in rubble on the ground. The glory of Solomon's era has passed. Now it stands bare, lifeless, stripped, and unprotected, a shameful shadow of its former splendor. A powerhouse brought low. A chosen people scattered. A city desecrated.
Nehemiah, having heard news from afar about the beloved city, mourns over the reproach of his people. He knows that the pride and hard-heartedness of his people have caused their own destruction. Previously, God warned them of this, that if they haughtily turned away from …
