Hacienda Del Sol
Travel Blogs from Playa de las Americas
Last full day of sun and relaxing
We had a big lunch planned for today so we started today with a much smaller breakfast than normal! Just a small sandwich then off to our now customary spot at the poolside, we've both kept ourselves more than occupied by reading various books on the Kindles and making use of the free WiFi by the pool.
When lunchtime came around we ...
Sunny Monday
We decided to mix it up a little today so went for a walk straight after breakfast instead of waiting til lunch time! We saw a couple of restaurants we wanted to try and then had a walk along the coast before heading back to the hotel to relax in our usual spot by the pool.
We chose to have our lunch in a restaurant ...
Lazy Sunday (same as all other days this week!)
The day was started with a nice buffet breakfast then we made our way to the usual sunny spot that we had taken a liking to near the heated pool. This is when the alarm bells started to ring, there was a man blowing up what looked like a bouncy castle! We thought about moving but decided to wait it out, and it turned out to be a massive water inflatable for the kids to play on! Unfortunately for us, they decided to put this in the heated pool as opposed to the kids pool or ...
Lazy Days
Friday and Saturday rolled into one as we spent both days lazing at the pool with not much movement, Saturday morning we awoke to blue skies for the first time on the trip and apart from lunch we stayed at the pool all day making the most of the lovely weather.
At night we ventured down to las americas to sample another of Mandy's old favourites, Balkonen. We enjoyed a lovely dinner and Mandy was ...
Day 2 - Cloudy walking
We started the day with another lovely breakfast at the hotel, as it was cloudy again we decided we'd spend the day going for a nice long walk.
We started by walking to las Americas where Mandy pointed out numerous landmarks and we went to the hotel that Andrew had stayed at some 10+ years ago.
We stopped at a cocktail bar overlooking the sea where we had one of the worst examples of one of our fav cocktails, we then carried on to ...
Historical Traveler Reviews Hacienda Del Sol Playa de las Americas
Location, location,location
These apartments are ideally situated within walking distance of both Playa Las Americas and Los Cristianos. The staff are friendly and these is a small underused restaurant. However the apartments and whole complex needs updating and refurbishing. The tiles in the bathrooms are dark and dingy and often many tiles are broken. Our shower was not secured to wall properly. The outside walls had peeling paint and plaster. Beds were not comfotable. I am sure this complex could be brought back to its former glory with not too much expenditure. Location and good staff are its assets.
Lage, Lage, Lage
Diese Apartments liegen in gehbarer Reichweite von Playa Las Americas und Los Cristianos. Die Angestellten sind freundlich und es gibt ein kleines, ungenutztes Restaurant. Die Appartements und der Komplex m�ssten aber dringend renoviert werden. Die Fliesen im Bad sind dunkel und d�ster, viele sind bereits gesprungen. Unsere Dusche war nicht sicher an der Wand befestigt. An den Au�enw�nden pellte die Farbe und der Putz herunter. Die Betten waren nicht komfortabel. Ich bin mir sicher, dass man den Komplex ohne zu viel Geld in sein altes Antlitz zur�ckwandeln kann. Die Lage und die Angestellten machen das Haus aus.
Cheap and Cheerful!
Booked the Hacienda on the strength of reviews on tripadvisor, and a good price from Alpharooms! We were there as a group of ten blokes on my stag do, but the hotel is suited to most travellers and seemed to consist of young and old couples and groups. The location is excellent for Nightlife, being a few minutes walk from Veronicas etc, but far away enough to be quiet. Couples note that the Studios are twins, and you can't push the beds together ;-), so go for an Apartment, which is a Studio plus a bedroom and includes a huge balcony. All in all an excellent stay and well worth the money.
Billig dennoch Ok.
Hatten das Hacienda wegen all der guten Bewertungen auf TripAdvisor und dem guten Preis �ber Alpharooms gebucht! Waren insgesamt 10 M�nner auf einem Junggesellenabschied, dass Hotel schien aber f�r jeden etwas zu sein und viele andere junge Menschen waren hier. Die Lage ist f�r das Nachtleben super, weil man nur ein paar Schritte von Veronicas, etc. entfernt war, aber noch weit genug weg, damit es sch�n ruhig ist. In den Studios stehen zwei Einzelbetten, die man nicht zusammen schieben kann ;-), Paare sollten also lieber ein Apartment, dass ein Studio plus ein Schlafzimmer mit riesigem Balkon ist, mieten.
Von Kakerlaken überlaufen
Waren in diesem Jahr in diesem, von Kakerlaken belagerten Haus. Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Zimmer sehr einfach, zwei einzelne Betten und ein Klappbett. Konnten uns kaum nur mit der Mikrowelle versorgen, hatten Wasserkocher..aber keinen Herd. Das Zimmer wurde nur zwei Mal in der Woche geputzt, inkl. frischer Handt�cher!! Bin mehrere Male durch Kakerlaken aufgewacht, die in meinem Bett und �ber meinen K�rper gekrabbelt sind. Der Poolbereich wurde ein, zwei Mal in 14 Tagen nass gespritzt. Habe schon in anderen Hotels der Gegend gewohnt und habe noch nie etwas derart Ekelhaftes erlebt. Die Angestellten waren sehr gut.
Cockroach infested
We stayed at this cockroach infested hotel this year. The food was very good.
The rooms were very basic, two singles and a camp bed. Hardly self catering with a microwave, kettle, hob. We had no oven. The room is only fully serviced twice a week!! Including towel change!!
I woke up on several occasions with cockroaches crawling on my body and in the bed.
The pool areas were hosed down once in a fortnight.
I have stayed in other areas/hotels on these islands and have never experienced anything so filthy and disgusting.
The staff were very good.
Very Central ! ! !
Myself (28y/o), sis (19 y/o) and mum have just returned from a week at the Hacienda Del Sol. The appartments were basic (like all of them are), but had all the essential items that you need on a typical holiday, oh yeah, apart from a bar of soap.
Ideally situated
Having spent 7 nights at the Hacienda Del Sol I'm pleased to say how friendly the staff were and how ideal the location was. Thus saying it was a lads holiday that I was on, however there were numerous couples of all ages staying here. Nights are lively so if you are after a quiet night this isn't the place for you. Overall the appartment was clean, tidy and spacious. The cleaner visted daily and were very friendly. I booked independently and found the accomodation very much value for money.
This will make you smile!!
I think that people do forget that these apartments are actually 2 star!! Now im not that used to staying in 2star apartments but I was suprised!!
Our room was spacious with a bedroom, kitchen, lounge, bathroom and a huge balcony!! It was always kept clean by the maid that came in everyday, with clean towels, bedding etc...
The pool isnt the biggest in the world but there was enough space around with a pool bar that sold great cocktails!!
The apartments are literally over the road from the central nightlife. However the noise cannot be heard from the apartments which was suprising considering we slept with the doors and windows open!!
The people who work there are great!!
Definately give the Hacienda a go I guarentee you will not be disappointed..
Fab, relaxed, central location very lively at night, had a brill time
ignore the bad reviews on this apartment site as we have just returned and found the rooms clean but basic, pool and bar area clean and well maintained. Staff very friendly and helpfull especially anton the nigh redceptionist. overall we had a fab stay well worth the money although i think it is for young people and people out for a fun and exciting time.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for a 5-4 majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, explained its rejection of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act in clear terms:
Congress had no business interfering with a state's decision to extend "the recognition, dignity and protection" of marriage to same-sex couples.
By denying same-sex couples the rights and responsibilities of marriage intertwined in more than 1,000 provisions of federal law, "DOMA writes inequality into the entire United States Code."
That is undeniably true.
The 1996 act denied federal benefits to gay couples married under state law.
The ruling struck down the federal law and said legally married gay couples are entitled to the same federal benefits as straight couples.
This is, to many fair-minded people, simple common sense.
A longtime same-sex partner should not be denied equal protection of the law in court proceedings, or be denied housing benefits, or spousal benefits or retirement benefits if a partner dies.
Such discrimination does not square with the basic principle of fairness.
The high court's ruling means that the fight to legalize same-sex marriages will be continued with fresh vigor in the states that do not now recognize such unions.
Many questions remain to be resolved.
"The Obama administration said it would move swiftly to ensure same-sex married couples get the same tax and other benefits as heterosexual couples, although the process for doing so is uncertain for same-sex couples who marry in one state, then move to a state that doesn't recognize gay marriage," said a Wall Street Journal story.
This will all have to be worked out, case by case, statute by statute, state by state. Only 12 states and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage, so conflict is not at an end.
All Americans should work to resolve these issues in a mutually respectful way.

The 160-hectare (400 acres) vacant site will be redeveloped into a manufacturing, assembly, operations and maintenance base.
The site, located 15 miles east of Inverness in northern Scotland, has a 1km deep-water quay and is ideally placed to service projects off Scotland's east coast.
The Port of Ardersier Ltd, previously known as Whiteness Property, is now awaiting the green light from the Scottish government and regulators Marine Scotland and Transport Scotland for the offshore elements.
It is anticipated that these consents, a marine licence and a harbour revision order, could be in place in the coming weeks.

"Born This Way" by Lady Gaga
Gaga just dropped a new track and, in typical fashion, it's already surrounded in controversy. She's being accused of stealing a good portion of the creative inspiration for the song from Colin Bean's 1975 gay disco anthem, of the same name. Regardless of your social leanings, its a solid track with a retro feel – and its Gaga so you know it'll get radio play.
Some people are going nuts over it, but to me it just seems like something they'd play in an episode of Barney… way too "everyone is special in their own way" type of BS for my liking.

We'll see.
Chico_loco, you explained that well. I'd actuallly worked out something along those lines as a possibility, but if that's what you're worried about, I'm just not as worried. We'll have to see how it works in practice, but my assumption is that if gaming the system isn't as simple as just under-reporting, then a sizable percentage of people won't try it.

With a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 4- or 5-course evening meals with wine and coffee included to complete the evening, our chalets and Chalet Hotels provide by far the best value accommodation in the Alps!
We set high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that Esprit guests will enjoy every meal with us.
For six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels, our staff prepare all your meals for you as described on these pages. The majority of Esprit parents feel that young children can inhibit the dinner-party atmosphere at evening meals, especially if they are over-tired, so children under 13 years are served High Tea at around 5.30pm in our chalets and Chalet Hotels alike. They are not then permitted to join adult dinner, as they are generally happier either getting some rest ready for tomorrow's adventures, or if 6 years old or more, joining our child care staff in Cocoa Club.
On their one day off per week, your host in chalets will prepare a Continental-style breakfast which will be left for you to help yourselves, whilst in Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast will still be served to you as normal. That evening, you and your family then have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants, which your Esprit Representative will be happy to help you arrange.
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide our chalet guests a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffetstyle for you to help yourself.
In addition to all the above, our Chalet Hotels and NEW this year in all our chalets, a hot dish, such as scrambled eggs on toast, or home-made pancakes with maple syrup is also offered.
Piste Picnics
Our Chalet Hotel teams can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For those keen to keep their Eurospending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!
NEW – Free Lunches
No such thing as a Free Lunch? Yes there is in Saas Fee! This year we are delighted to offer free lunches to all parents staying in Chalet Hotel Annahof. A tasty two course lunch will be available free of charge from 1-2pm on 5 days a week (not including arrival/departure days and staff day off) and will include mountain favourites as well as local specialities.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except the team's one day off each week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake – different every day and our Chalet Hotels also feature a selection of cakes for you to choose from.
Children's High Tea
High Tea provides children under 13 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children's tastes than our main adult dinner, and puréed food is also always available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 36 months at High Tea please, whilst children from 3-12 years will be supervised by Esprit staff.
Adult Dinner in Chalets
In all our chalets, our four-course dinners for adults (and children 13 and over only) start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert. The meal is accompanied by a choice of wines, unlimited during the meal service, with freshly chilled water also always available, and followed by complimentary coffee or tea with chocolates to round off your evening.
'Culinary Choice' Adult Dinner in Chalet Hotels
Meanwhile in Chalet Hotels, we offer our 'Culinary Choice' adult dinners six nights per week, comprising five courses, with a choice of menu for your enjoyment. Adults (and children 13 and over only) will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening, from a choice of two or three varied dishes, changing each day, always including a vegetarian option for each course, and accompanied by our complimentary wines. Courses are as described above for chalets, plus a local cheeseboard will also be available each day as the fifth course to complete your evening's dining.
Special Diets
Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared.
Family Dining Chalets
For those families who prefer to eat together with their younger children, we offer our Family Dining option in any chalet of up to 12 beds, if you book the whole chalet for your own party, subject to chalet suitability. Everyone then eats together in the evening, starting at 6.30-7.00pm. The meals are based on our adult menus, with some flexibility for younger taste buds, although not a complete 'à la carte' choice!
The additional charge for changing meals to Family Dining is £39 per child. (Chalet Valentine in La Rosière and Chalet Oskar in Selva are always Family Dining chalets and no supplement applies).
Esprit Wine Selection
Dear Guest
Thank you for all your much appreciated feedback over recent seasons on the wines selected for all our Chalets and Chalet Hotels. It's good to hear that you feel we are very much on the right track here, with our four varied choices in chalets and five in Chalet Hotels going a long way to ensure there is something to enjoy for every taste and palate.
Certainly your letters and questionnaires totally endorse our decision many years ago to move Esprit well away from the boxed wine or 'plonk in a carafe' still served by some other chalet companies, to good quality, bottled wines which genuinely enhance our menus.
So the wine lovers here in our UK team are once again looking forward to the wine-tasting event we hold every autumn in conjunction with our French wine partners, Nicolas and Véronique Perret. They are based in the distinctive Savoie wine region, producing their own wines as well as blending and bottling other varieties from all around France, and as a Burgundy-trained wine expert, Nicolas is well qualified to help us choose a tempting selection of wines for the coming winter.
Taking on board your wine notes, ideas and suggestions from last season, the range will once again aim for variety within our two selected reds and two contrasting whites, plus a light, refreshing rosé in all our Chalet Hotels.
I do hope you'll enjoy this winter's selection as much as we look forward to selecting it, and of course please do let us know your views, as always, on the wine and the food to be served this season.
Have a wonderful holiday!

Christmas & New Year Celebrations
All our chalets and Chalet Hotels offer traditional fare for Christmas dinner, with roast turkey and all the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats, plus a lively, fun atmosphere for all the family.
This is the one meal that all families share together regardless of children's ages, so in some properties the dining tables can be quite crowded, but this adds to the festive ambience of all celebrating together! Father Christmas is a welcome visitor during the evening, when he pays his annual visit to our chalets and Chalet Hotels and distributes his gifts to the children.
A special festive menu is also served on New Year's Eve, but this is for adults only (and those aged 13+ of course), unless you are staying in a Family Dining chalet.

Temperatures dropped early Thursday and the winds picked up gusting to more than 60 miles per hour in some areas.
YNN's Kate McGowan caught up with Western New Yorkers who braved the fierce weather to head outdoors.
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- "Chilly, chilly, chilly. Wrap up, wrap up wrap up," exclaimed one Buffalo resident.
Words of advice from one Buffalo resident who was out and about Thursday morning.
"It's a little cold and chilly but what are you going to do? It's Buffalo for you. Born and raised here, gotta love it," expressed Ronald Lawrence.
It was a stark difference in temperatures Thursday as opposed to just a day earlier, where temperatures soared into the 60s. Weather officials said it shattered a nearly century old record.
Many Western New Yorkers took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather.
"Enjoyed the weather," said Moniche Godfrey. "Opened up the windows, just enjoyed the cool breeze."
But Thursday was a much different story. Temperatures dropped around 30 degrees and the wind picked up.
The wind gusts were pretty intense in the City of Buffalo but elsewhere wind gusts reached more than 60 miles per hour.
"Some of the highest wind gusts were recorded along the Lake Erie shorelines and that's pretty typical in any type of wind event," explained YNN Meteorologist, Dan Russell.
The wind caused some power outages early Thursday, including the areas of Clarence, West Seneca and Buffalo. It also led to some down trees and power lines.
But some are keeping optimism and saying the worst is already over.
"We're at the bottom of the knife as far as I'm concerned. I don't think we'll get too much more snow, if we do, hopefully this is the last batch that we get. And we'll be done with it, and it's just cold. Hopefully we can move on to the spring and summer. But I'll take it, whatever we get," exclaimed a Western New Yorker.

Greater things aheadNishikori is making history in Japan -- next, the worldPosted: Friday February 22, 2008 11:27AM; Updated: Friday February 22, 2008 11:45AM
The 2008 ATP season is young, but we've already seen the birth of two future champions. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga emerged Down Under, and last week, 244th-ranked Kei Nishikori ignited his home nation of Japan with his stunning victory in Delray Beach, Fla. An accomplishment of that magnitude hasn't occurred since Shuzo Matsuoka won an ATP event in Seoul, South Korea, in 1992. That's the last time a Japanese male won a tournament. Nishikori's success in Florida is no aberration -- there's enormous success in his future. The teenager possesses a unique combination of precision, power and athleticism, and he demonstrated it all while compiling eight straight wins in Delray Beach (three in qualifying and five in the main draw), culminating with a stunning upset of James Blake in the final. I see a lot of Serb star Novak Djokovic in Nishikori's game. Both put tremendous pressure on opponents with their ability to defend the court and turn defensive situations into offensive ones. They're consistent and explosive off either wing and their court positioning and tennis IQs are off the charts. Similar to how Djokovic's latest breakthrough came as a result of a beefed-up serve, Nishikori's assent may be governed by the same advantage. And that will happen gradually as he continues to develop physically. He's only 18! Nishikori also has some similarities to Maria Sharapova. Even though he hails from a foreign land, he has relied on the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Fla., to hone his skills and on IMG to represent him, just like the Russian star. Kei has lived at the academy for four years and his development is being carefully monitored by Bollettieri, Gabe Jaramillo, Red Ayme and his traveling coach and former ATP pro, Glenn Weiner. The fact that he can play against fellow academy players like Tommy Haas, Andy Murray, Radek Stepanek, Xavier Malisse and Max Mirnyi can only expedite his learning curve. Nishikori is being fast-tracked by agent Olivier van Lindonk, who recruited Kei with a vision called "Project 45." What exactly does that mean? Well, it refers to the last major Japanese success on the ATP Tour. During his 13-year career, Matsuoka became a cult hero in Japan and reached a career-high ranking of No. 46 in '92. Van Lindonk's logic is that Nishikori's target should be to surpass that ranking, after which the marketing opportunities would be substantial. Kei looks like he's on his way. He has already signed lucrative contracts with Adidas and Wilson and van Lindonk says he has "been up until 3 a.m. every morning since his win dealing with the hundreds of media requests and marketing opportunities. Our objective is to build a platform to lift the entire game of tennis in Japan." I have no doubt he can and will. Nishikori's game translates on all surfaces, and he relishes the opportunity to play on the clay at Roland Garros. "Everyone tells me my jumping forehand looks like Marcelo Ríos," he says. "I like playing on clay, so I'm looking forward to April." Nishikori has a refreshing combination of humility and self-confidence: "[Matsuoka] has been the only top-50 player from Japan and I really respect him so much," Nishikori says. "I have also gotten to practice with Roger Federer and, should he call me to offer his congratulations, I'll tell him, 'I'll beat you in the next couple of years!'" The next major goal for Nishikori will be to break into the top 100 in the world, which would gain him automatic entry into the Grand Slams (he moved up to No. 131 after his victory in Delray Beach). He'll have a great chance of doing just that during his next stretch of events, which will include San Jose, Memphis, the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas, Indian Wells and Miami. His poise under pressure might be his greatest weapon and it hasn't gone unnoticed, even to his current competitors. "He played really well and didn't show any kind of nerves," says Blake of his surprising encounter in the Delray Beach final. "He hit cold winners at times you wouldn't expect it. He's going to win a lot of tournaments -- unfortunately he won his first against me!" Former ATP pro Justin Gimelstob writes on alternate Fridays for SI.com.

Don't Try Tracking Drone Strikes With Your iPhone
It seemed like a simple enough idea for an iPhone app: Send users a pop-up notice whenever a flying robots kills someone in one of America's many undeclared wars. But Apple keeps blocking the Drones+ program from its App Store — and therefore, from iPhones everywhere. The Cupertino company says the content is "objectionable and crude," according to Apple's latest rejection letter.
It's the third time in a month that Apple has turned Drones+ away, says Josh Begley, the program's New York-based developer. The company's reasons for keeping the program out of the App Store keep shifting. First, Apple called the bare-bones application that aggregates news of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia "not useful." Then there was an issue with hiding a corporate logo. And now, there's this crude content problem.

I guess he's an xbox and I'm more atari,
But the way you play your game ain't fair.
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
(Oh shit she's a gold digger)
(Just thought you should know nigga)
I've got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend
[Repeat Chorus:]
Now I know, that I had to borrow,
Beg and steal and lie and cheat.
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya.
'Cause being in love with you ass ain't cheap.
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
(Oh shit she's a gold digger)
(Just thought you should know nigga)
I've got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend
Now baby, baby, baby, why d'you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me
"this is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh!
Whhhy lady? Oh! I love you oh!
I still love you. Oooh!

Power Ranking the Top 25 Playmakers in the 2013 NFL Draft Class
By Wes Stueve ,
Every team in the NFL desires playmakers. That's why they will go off the board so early and often in the 2013 NFL draft.
Being a playmaker is entirely different from being a good player. Some good players won't make a ton of big plays, and some big playmakers will make plays and do nothing else.
Often, though, the best players are playmakers. After all, big plays tend to win games and can often make a huge difference for a team.
But just what is a playmaker? On offense, it's someone who will gain big yards on one play, often for a touchdown. A running back juking multiple defenders, a quarterback eluding pressure and throwing a deep bomb, a wide receiver getting behind the defense.
On defense, it's a little more complicated. It's a defensive end getting a sack, a cornerback or safety picking up an interception or anyone making a stop for a loss. Turnovers are key, however.
What draft prospects will see their statuses rise due to their playmaking ability?
Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib, Ray Graham
Smith's lack of arm strength and vertical aggression knocks him down here. He's probably the draft's top quarterback, but he generally doesn't create huge plays. His accuracy and moderate ability help, however.
Nassib is a playmaker, largely due to his mobility and arm strength, but his overall ability hurts him. He isn't quite athletic enough to create too many plays on his feet, and his accuracy limits his throwing ability.
Though Graham is shifty and elusive, his speed and vision limit just how many plays he is able to make. When in the open field, he can be dangerous, however.
Blessed with great quickness and speed, Markus Wheaton is a classic slot receiver. He will run by and around defenders with ease, either outrunning them or juking them out.
Wheaton's size and overall ability limit him somewhat, but he'll bring excitement to an offense. Defenses must account for him at all times.
This is an example of a playmaker not being a great player.
E.J. Manuel is a terrific athlete with a live arm, but he struggles with ball placement. However, Manuel's excellent running ability helps him create big plays from nothing.
Manuel will break tackles and juke defenders then use his powerful arm to drive the ball downfield. He is an exciting player to watch, even though he isn't such an impressive quarterback.
Zac Stacy lacks great speed, but his shiftiness helps him elude defenders in the open field and make plays. Stacy's vision helps him find cutback lanes and take advantage of over-aggressive defenders.
The only thing really limiting Stacy's playmaking ability is his speed. He struggles to run away from defenders. His elusiveness alone helps him make big plays, but he would be even more dynamic with just a little more straight-line speed.
Joseph Randle isn't overly big or powerful, but he is fast an explosive. Randle shows great burst through the hole, and he is more than capable of making defenders miss, as he possesses great lateral movement.
Though he may not be a starting running back, Randle is dynamic enough to see the field plenty. He'll keep a defense honest, and it will pay if it doesn't keep him in check.
A size-speed demon, Quinton Patton needs to work on his abilities as a receiver, but his potential is incredible. The 6'2", 195-pounder has no problem getting past defenders, and he is athletic enough to make plays for the ball.
Purely as a vertical threat, Patton already adds value to an offense. He isn't perfect, but if a defense doesn't respect his speed, he'll burn them for a big play.
Primarily a run-stopper, Star Lotulelei isn't known for his ability to penetrate the backfield and make plays. That doesn't mean he can't do it, though.
Lotulelei overpowers offensive linemen and forces his way into backfields. He is also an explosive athlete and can beat linemen with his quickness.
In the NFL, Lotulelei may not be known for making plays, but his fans will know better.
There are more athletic tight ends than Tyler Eifert. Eifert, however, possesses above-average athleticism with a 6'6" frame and superb body control.
Few receivers can go up for a ball like Eifert can, and he's fast enough to stretch the field vertically. He may not make many 80-yard plays, but he'll open up the offense and haul in many 20-yard receptions across the middle.
A quick wideout, DeAndre Hopkins is somewhat limited by his 6'1" height, but he's explosive. Hopkins possesses great burst and can stop and start in a hurry. Few defensive backs can keep up with him there.
Hopkins' vertical ability isn't perfect, but underneath, he will make defenders miss, and he'll make them pay. He's a dangerous weapon on screens and other quick passes.
Without his speed and knack for getting behind defenses, Terrance Williams wouldn't be anywhere near this list.
Fortunately, Wililams is fast, and he can get behind defenses.
Williams' 6'3" frame helps him go up for balls, and defensive backs struggle to knock balls away from him. The key to his success, though, is clearly his deep speed, and cornerbacks struggle to keep up with him.
If his quarterback just throws the ball as far as he can, there's a good chance Williams will be there to catch it.
In 2012, Sheldon Richardson picked up 10.5 tackles for loss, an impressive number for a defensive tackle. Don't expect Richardson's presence in the backfield to fade in the NFL either.
An explosive athlete, Richardson is capable of playing either defensive tackle or defensive end. He is incredibly quick, and few interior linemen are light-footed enough to keep up with him.
Richardson won't always be overly strong against the run, but he will consistently be in the backfield.
In college, Ziggy Ansah's playmaking ability didn't show up quite as much as it will in the NFL. He ended the 2012 season with 13 tackles for loss.
At 6'6" and 270 pounds, Ansah is a terrific athlete who plays with outstanding power. He moves all over the defense, playing everywhere from nose tackle to linebacker. At each position, his incredible talent shows.
With more refinement, Ansah's freakish ability will begin to show on the field as he wreaks havoc in the backfield.
An explosive athlete, Jordan Poyer ended the 2012 season with seven interceptions and one defensive touchdown. Poyer's ball skills and risk-taking tendencies help him come up with interceptions, and his athletic ability takes over from there.
Poyer is fast with great burst and quickness. This not only helps him jump routes to pick off passes but also to create big returns with the ball in his hands.
Phillip Thomas finished 2012 with eight interceptions. That alone shows how effective of a playmaker he is.
Thomas doesn't come up with interceptions because of athletic ability but rather smarts. He is excellent at reading the quarterback and jumping routes to make plays on the ball.
Athletically, Thomas is somewhat limited, and he doesn't do much at all in run support, but he can play center field. He will make plays back deep.
Finishing 2012 with seven tackles for loss, two interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble, Arthur Brown gave just a glimpse of how dynamic he can be. His playmaking ability goes far beyond the stats.
Few linebackers can run like Brown can. He attacks the line of scrimmage with ferocity and frequently makes plays in coverage. Brown is the definition of a sideline-to-sideline defender.
Brown's instincts help him to quickly read plays and know where the ball is going. He will make a huge impact for his defense in the NFL.
D.J. Swearinger is best known for his bone-jarring hits, but that is far from all he can do. Swearinger is excellent in coverage and ended 2012 with two interceptions, one of which went for a touchdown.
Swearinger's big-hitting ability also forced two fumbles, and he returned a fumble for a touchdown. So, in 2012, Swearinger scored two touchdowns and forced four turnovers while being a force against the run.
He makes plays all over the field, and his mere presence intimidates wide receivers thinking of coming across the middle.
It's not yet known what position Denard Robinson will play in the NFL, but we do know one thing.
He makes plays.
Though undersized, Robinson is incredibly explosive with excellent quickness and straight-line speed. He could make an impact out of the slot or backfield in the NFL. He will almost certainly star on returns.
Few players at any level of football possess Robinson's sheer playmaking ability. The lone limiting factor is his lack of an established position.
Capable of playing wide receiver, slot receiver or running back, Tavon Austin's versatility makes him an even more dynamic playmaker. He is fast, explosive and quick, and he can use those abilities from anywhere on the field.
Defenses fear Austin and have to keep an eye on him at all times. He will switch positions in an instant and be in the end zone in the next.
Jarvis Jones' playmaking ability is clearly displayed in his statistics. He finished 2012 with 14.5 sacks and 24.5 tackles for loss.
Yes, Jones is a pass-rushing linebacker, but he still did this while not blitzing on every play. That's impressive to be sure, and his power, burst and pass-rush ability make it likely he can continue doing this in the NFL.
Dion Jordan's playmaking ability is based more in potential than current production, as you might guess from his mediocre five sacks in 2012.
Jordan's 6'6" frame, incredible speed and brilliant burst make him a potential star pass-rusher. He has all the ability to dominate there.
Also, Jordan is already excellent in coverage. He can cover tight ends or wide receivers with few difficulties, and he has the ability to pick off some passes in the future.
In 2012, Cordarrelle Patterson scored touchdowns on returns, catches and runs. He is big, explosive, and he is fast. He is really fast.
Patterson's 6'3", 205 size make him a threat on every sort of pass. Defensive backs will struggle to keep up with him vertically, but, if he must, Patterson will go up for the ball with success.
Patterson may not be a perfect wide receiver—he is still raw—but he is a terrific athlete with great playmaking ability.
Barkevious Mingo is yet another player whose playmaking ability doesn't show in the stats—he finished 2012 with just 4.5 sacks.
Mingo's length, speed and explosion make him a future sack demon, however. He explodes off the snap, and offensive tackles struggle to keep him at bay, largely due to his length and closing speed.
Mingo has 20-sack potential in the NFL. He may not ever reach that number, but he has the ability to get there. Few defensive ends are anywhere near this athletic.
With 18 interceptions and three defensive touchdowns in the last two years, David Amerson has clearly proven he is a playmaker. Few cornerbacks at any level create those types of turnovrers.
Though Amerson isn't really great in coverage, his 6'2" frame and superb ball skills help him make plays. He offers little beyond his playmaking ability, in fact, but that skill alone is so great he will still be drafted in the first few rounds.
Amerson won't be as beastly in the NFL as he was in college. If given the chance, though, he will continue to force turnovers.
Zac Dysert makes this list for one reason.
Vertical ability.
Of every quarterback in the 2013 draft, Dysert throws the best dep ball. He possesses a rocket arm and does a magnificent job of perfectly placing the ball on long throws.
Dysert has abilities beyond his ability throw long—he is also quite accurate—but that is what makes him special. Defenses can't play close to the line with Dysert at quarterback.
They have to give cushion and play deep zone. Otherwise Dysert will burn them.
Bjoern Werner picked up 18 tackles for loss and 13 sacks in 2012. He is explosive, quick and possesses a multitude of pass-rush moves.
Werner isn't great beyond his ability to rush the passer, but he is an immediate double-digit-sack player in the NFL. Offensive tackles will not be able to keep someone so explosive at bay for long.
At defensive end, playmaking ability tends to be quite key, and Werner's makes him the draft's likely top-drafted defensive end.
Tyler Wilson is a gunslinger. He throws deep, he makes mistakes and he makes plays.
Wilson's athleticism allows him to run outside of the pocket and evade the rush if need be. He can also scramble for first downs and perhaps even a little more.
His real playmaking ability lies with his arm, though. Wilson is not afraid to take chances, and he possesses the arm strength to do so successfully. Whether it's a true deep ball or a more intermediate pass, Wilson will gun the ball in there.
Often, the key for a quarterback is the willingness to take chances. Above all else, Wilson has that.

Modelling rooms within a house. (self.gamedev)
submitted 1 year ago by adamraco
I need to create a house, and within it, rooms. Do I model each room seperately and kind of join them all together? Or do it as one big house?
Thanks, Adam.
[–]koobazaur 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Err, it depends entire on what game engine you're using, or even basic tech. Is it 3D? 2D? Side-scroller, isometrict? Tile-based? Model-based? How are your levels structured, BSP, sectors & portals, tiles? what language, what tools?
[–]adamraco[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
sorry, Im trying to keep it on the downlow. Im using Unity3d, modelling with 3ds max. 3D first person perspective game, horror-puzzle. Pretty much non existant phyics, mostly animated objects. Each level is a nightmare, they all differ. You play as a teenager who has nightmares, each nightmare being a level. One perticular level is within your own home, but in most of the game youre confinded to your bedroom.
[–]Nothing7 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Do a basic layout of the level, implement your scripted events, and make sure it's fun and interesting. Change what doesn't work since you're still in the early stages. Once you got something that plays well, go texture everything and put in the details like lighting and background props. It's much harder to change a layout that doesn't work if you already started detailing the levels.
If you want to be modest bout your project, that's cool. But don't worry about people stealing your ideas. It takes a lot of time and effort to implement anything. No one is going to implement it the same way and most people are trying to make thier own big idea come about. I will warn you, almost all ideas are unoriginal and if you look hard enough you'll find someone trying to do sometime similar to your idea. If you're going to ask questions, you do need to provide specifics on what you're trying to do and where you're trying to implement it.
Good luck and have fun. :D
[–]adamraco[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Thank you very much! Im actually working with a few others that are part of a larger game studio here in Melb, Australia. Im only keeping it hush because of them. I didnt mean to come off in a bad way!
Thank you again :)
[–]Nothing7 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
That's cool bud. Good luck and enjoy yourself.
[–]koobazaur 0 points1 point2 points 12 months ago
ya I agree with other replies, just keep it all one file, unity can handle a house
[–]jerkosaurGardenKnightGames.com - @jamezbriggs 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Reasons to create house interiors combined:
Reasons to create house interiors separately:
Depending on your game's performance if you wanted separate having a loading screen just fade to black and fade back in might work wonders. It will feel like you're entering without the feeling of loading...provided your game is optimized for this.
ill go with one big model. not a demanding game at all, little assets, low physics. thank you so much!
[–]magictravelblog 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'm not expert enough to answer your question but I suspect that someone who is will want to know what tools you're using and what kind of game it is. Can you provide more details?
Im sorry, it really is on the down low at the moment. I cant say much. But well say that you play a teenager, and your bedroom is the games "Hub" where you upgrade skills. You enter nightmares, which are the games levels. Some nightmares are within the house. You are in the bedroom most the time, but one of these levels involves exploring the house. First person, horror-puzzle like game. Little-to-no physics, mostly animated static objects.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday that the United States should provide more equipment and other aid to the Iraqi government in its battle against al-Qaida militants, but he ruled out a reintroduction of U.S. troops for now.
The Republican leader said President Barack Obama must get more involved in helping Iraq as it seeks to reclaim two cities, Fallujah and Ramadi, overrun by al-Qaida fighters. Boehner said the U.S. has a vital national interest in Iraq and warned that the progress made by American forces before troops were withdrawn after nine years of war is being threatened.
"I think the president himself ought to take a more active role in dealing with the issues in Iraq," Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters at his weekly news conference. "Secondly,
we need to get equipment to the Iraqis and other services that would help them battle this counterterrorism effort that they're attempting to do. There are things that we can do to help the Iraqis that do not involve putting U.S. troops on the ground."
Pressed on whether he thought U.S. troops should be sent back to Iraq, Boehner said he didn't think "that is called for at this point in time."
The Obama administration has ruled out sending American troops back in but has been delivering missiles to help bolster Iraqi forces, and more are on the way.
At a separate news conference, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the U.S. would assist Iraq but ruled out sending American troops back. "They're home. The American people are glad. They're coming back from Afghanistan," Reid said.
