Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 305 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Limago18 AMAZING service & food We spent a week at the Sheraton and we very satisfied and impressed with the level of service we received. From the front desk to restaurant servers to the house keepers. I travel alot and this is one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had! Loved the fitness center too :) July 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VonG Suburb hotel My first time experience was great, I would deffinately stay there again. My kids loved it just the fact that it is a castle they haven't stop talking about it. Excellent location to get around jersey and New York City. And the amenities are a deffinate plus. thank you sharaton! January 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by parisfrance Rude neighbors The room was nice and the rate excellent. But other guests were extremely rude. They gathered outside their rooms, sitting on the floor, playing games with their toddlers until after midnight when they continued to go in and out of their rooms slamming doors and making noise. July 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BBBforC This hotel has great features but can be better at working with their customers Waitress in the Cafe/Bar was very short tempered and looked aggravated when asked for something. It could be the way of the land however when I am away from my home in a nice hotel I expect the same from the employees. I was quite disappointed with the waitress in the hotel. June 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by BKMoe More choice room service In general I really like the food but I normally pick up food on my way back to the hotel because I have a $25 dinner budget from my employer + the options for room service are slim. If you offered more food options (sub 25 in total) I would order room service every night. August 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by tmc210 Pet Fees Although pet friendly and I was staying there during a dog competition, I was at no time during the reservation process or my stay notified of pet fees. I had no problem with the nominal cleaning fee ($25) that was charged but thought it odd that no one advised me. October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GinaE Excellent Service and Amenities Our check-in was smooth although they did forget to give us our breakfast voucher for the next day at check-in. The room was spacious and clean. It was a nice experience celebrating the New Year with friends at this hotel. January 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SQBCT Overall Quite Happy I recently stayed at this hotel for a Cat Show. While the Facility was Guest & Pet Friendly I do have a FEW suggestions... Refrigerators & Micro's IN-ROOM.. would be REALLY Helpful....I traveled with my 90yr. Mother, & a WHITE PERSIAN.... While the Room, ESPECIALLY UNDER the BED,(where My WHITE Persian chose to Sleep, was SPOTLESS..NOT a SPEC of DUST on HER....NEVER needed to refresh coat.... Th INROOM Comfort would have received the SAME "CUDOS" IF We were able to have Refrigeration for Meds,Raw Cat Food, & a MICRO for dinner After the late event ending WITHOUT the $30.00 per day Charge.....You see the Resturant is ONLY open for Breakfast, The ONLY FOOD available is the PUB..."WAY TO EXPENSIVE" & REALLY BAD FOOD...Was a LITTLE inconvenient to "GO OUT for Dinner, as You signed a release that You "COULD NOT" leave Your pet alone in room....Would LOSE Both $50.00 Pet DEPOSIT, & HOTEL IF VIOLATION was Discovered, ALSO Management WOULD TAKE PET....SORRY Love the Hotel & Convenience of Show at same Location...BUT NOT POLICY...SORRY... January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dee4 Great weekend! The hotel and room were very clean and comfortable. It was a great weekend stay with my family. The kids really enjoyed the pool!!! Will definitely recommend to friends, family and work colleagues and will look forward to visiting again for work and fun! December 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oleg2014 great facility Great services, staff, room. March 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kath This hotel didn't acknowledge my early check in Even though I had a reservation # for an early check-in.. when I arrived at the hotel, the staff didn't even look up as she was on her cell phone to greet me. Then when she finally decided to do something she didn't know anything about an early check-in & said they didn't have a room available for me as promised w/ a Kingon the 1st Floor. When I protested she said she'd get houskeeping to clean one & would call my call in 1 hr. This didn't happen & I had to get a mgr over the phone to get me a room. She promised everything would be ok once I arrived (the 2nd time) but once again, the staff knew nothing & couldn't help me. I req'd the mgr & I got more flack until I stood my ground & finally they decided that yer my room was available - a dble & I said no... my reservation was for a king. Finally after way too much time & stress I got my room. Only to find out that there wasn't any toilet paper or kleenex. Then the staff "forgot" to give me my breakfast coupons as the buffet was included in my room.... Very Poor... Definitely not satisfied! June 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by mike76 Problems The room was not cleaned properly each day. Dirty towels were left in bathroom on one day. We asked for a king size room but didn't get one. We weren't put on the SPG floor. The bed sank to the middle. Never had that happen at a sheraton before. April 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cathy968 First Impression is Always a Great Memory !!! As usual, we were very satisfied with another Sheraton Hotel. From the minute we arrived to our departure, all our needs and requests we met. Front desk gentlemen were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Look forward to coming back !! October 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju Absolutely Awesome I stayed at this hotel for a business meeting. The staff was fabulous. The room experience was flawless and the food was wonderful, I think the renovation is really great but the people at the hotel were even better. I will be back soon! June 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuperChi One more repeated customer Jun 14, Friday is my first time stay with Sheraton Parsippany hotel, stylish lobby, extra clean bed room, and Welcome snack/sweet (for Platinum guest) from the GM, Sean, are just three of many reasons that make me a repeated customer. June 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cathy123 not worth the price I expected that this hotel would be nicer than most because of the exterior. The beds were not the greatest and the television and phone did not work. Internet did not work. They need to make sure that whatever they offer is working. December 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by lpk2012 Fabulous rooms My room at the Sheraton Parsippany was fabulous - sofa with ottoman, VERY comfortable bed with down comforter and several pillows with various firmness. Shower with handle bar when you step in and easy reach shelf for shampoo etc. September 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by bear2115 Great Hotel The room was very clean. The beds very comfortable. The front desk was very helpful with directions & service. The only thing that I could say was the ac unit was a bit loud. Other than that I would definately stay there again. September 5, 2012

Five Moments In Video Games That Can Make Grown Men Cry
There seems to be some sort of quiet rule in society against men being able to show any emotion other then anger. In many ways, it is expected for a man to be as stoic as a robot. An unfeeling machine who just functions, performs his daily duties, but is not allowed to really feel or exhibit emotion. But video game designers know better, because a good deal of them are men, and men known that men cry.
Some of us may not cry often, but when we do, there better be a damn good reason for it. Like your horse dying. When a man's horse dies, a part of that man dies, too. That being said, here are five moments that seemed to be created with the sole purpose of making men weep like children. Travel on with hesitation though, weary reader, for there are some definite spoilers in here.
Jenny in The Darkness
I felt naturally compelled to talk about The Darkness since the sequel chose to bastardize all that made the loss so palpable in the first game. Sorry, I am getting ahead of myself.
The Darkness is a game about a hitman named Jackie Estacado who has some ancient evil locked up inside him and, though he tries to control, it gets released. And as a result of knowing some bad people and having done some questionable things, some events unfold around Jackie that are out of his control.
For those familiar with the comic book, this was not such a shocking moment, but for those who weren't, all I have to say is WHAMMO!
Here is the part where I spoil stuff, so if you have not played the game, I suggest skipping ahead.
This may look insignificant to the game, but this scene will haunt you later on, trust me.
Jenny is your girlfriend, and she is portrayed as a very sweet girl. And because of your crappy lifestyle choices, she gets her brains blown out in front of you. And what makes the moment so unforgettable, is the way the game set you up for it.
One of this game's hooks was that it showed real, full length movies on any TV set that was playing during the game. So if you got bored after a gunfight in an office and a TV is playing something, just sit your character in front of it and watch something. Cool, right?
What was extra cool is the scene early in the game when you are chilling with Jenny on the couch, watching a movie. At any point, you can end this scene. But they are watching To Kill A Mockingbird, which is one of the greatest films of all time, and you just sort of sit there and watch it with them. It feels very much like a real relationship.
And you get the real life option to either be the jerk or the good guy. You can get up and leave when she falls asleep, or stay there so you don't wake her up. The best part is, if you stick around like I did, you get an achievement. I remember when that little achievement window opened, and it said "easy romantic" I could not decide if that was more cool or sad. Not sad as in boo hoo, sad as in "taking cousin to prom" kind of sad. I am still unsure on how I feel about that achievement, but I digress.
But it was THAT moment, hanging out with your lady on the couch, watching a classic movie, that truly asserted the bond between Jackie and Jenny. And it made her execution that much more devastating.
Dear this scene: Can you please stop haunting my nightmares? Thank you. Sincerely, Remy.
For me, the moment wasn't met so much with tears, as the moment leading up to it was met with a devastating sense of complete helplessness. A single pane of glass separates you from saving her life, and there is nothing you can do. You feel the moment coming, and adrenaline floods your body. It is quite an emotional response, actually.
The designers at Starbreeze even admitted to putting the couch scene in the game specifically to make her death feel more "real" to the player. I respond to that was equal parts damn you and well played, Starbreeze.
Lastly, I need to say, Mike Patton's voice as The Darkness in this game is the best vocal work I have ever heard in a game. Before you tell me I am an ass and know nothing, know that he created that voice using NO EFFECTS or distortion.
Just listen and marvel, secretly praying all voice actors approached roles with this much vigor (and insanity).
Though part two was recently released, avoid it, because it uses Jenny's death in ridiculous ways and takes away from the power of the first story.
Agro the horse in Shadow of the Colossus.
Pardon me if I go on a rant that seems detached from this, but it all ties together, trust me.
Remember that scene from The Neverending Story where Atreyu's horse slowly sinks in the swamp, and Atreyu is trying to do all he can to save him but he just can't? Remember how you were sobbing uncontrollably when that happened? Yeah, well, apparently Team Ico remembers the loss well, because they basically made me go through it again in Shadow of the Colossus.
Now before I say anything else, I will go on the record to say this may be the best last generation game made. From originality of concept to the jaw dropping visuals. From the scale of it all and the resonating power of the story and ending, this game is just a phenomenal from start to finish.
I have written three folk songs about Agro for my "Echoing the loss of Agro" concept album.
BUT, just like I said at the beginning of this piece, you do not kill a man's horse. Especially not after they have just gone on the most mind blowing, life changing journey together. And of course, my horse dies saving MY life. My selfish, pointless, giant-killing life. And by the games end, we ask ourselves, for what?
It is a bleak moment in a very bleak game, but one that truly reminds how important all life is. Also, it is a moment that shows the adoration and love an animal has, and the true sense of loyalty it displays for those it loves, even right down to the end. Again, rather then tears, this was a "yell at the screen" moment for me, and what I yelled, in all seriousness, was NOOOOOOOOOOO!
And I do get a little choked up when I think about that horse still, I won't lie.
Silent Hill 2 "In Water" ending.
Again, a quick nod to the fact that this is one of my favorite games from the last generation. Silent Hill 2.
Yes, the combat was clunky . And yes, the controls were stiff, almost to the point of the game playing more like a tank sim on an old pc than a survival horror game, but still, the story was mind blowing and up to that point, the most mature game I had ever played. As gamers, this was the moment that told me we were no longer plumbers jumping on mushrooms, trying to save damsels in distress. We were psychotic men experiencing a breakdown as a result of serious trauma, barely capable of saving ourselves.
And while the game had it's share of gut wrenching moments (the big reveal, anyone?), no single moment hit as hard as the "In Water" ending that so few of us were lucky (unlucky?) enough to experience.
The "In Water" ending is the most nihilist moment in a video game ever. Spoilers ahead!
So you find out that all the madness that just went down in Silent Hill is the result of a breakdown you had as a result of murdering your wife. You only murdered your wife so she wouldn't have to die slowly of the disease that was killing her, but in a selfish way,you know you also killed her because you were exhausted from having to watch her die, day after day, in agony.
So we are NOT having sex tonight? I am sorry, when you're catatonic, you are REALLY hard to read.
As if that in itself was not enough to make us feel like we had just been raped by Pyramid Head (who at this point, was invented, as a result of James repressed psycho-sexual urges) the "in Water" ending takes hopelessness to a whole new level, especially for this medium.
So James, deciding he cannot live with what he has done and takes his own life by driving into Silent Hill Lake. The whole thing is done with a very haunting voice over as he explains his motives and his intent to reunite with Mary, his dead wife, in the afterlife.
So in essence, this is the game where you kill your wife, go crazy, and go off to Silent Hill. You see some really insane and unimaginable things, and ultimately, you take your own life in the place you and she used to vacation in a way to seek penance for what you had done. Really uplifting stuff.
I played this game at a particularly dark point in my life, and I remember being so disturbed with the revelation of what I had done as a character, that I swore of the Silent Hill franchise. Until the next one came out.
I told you it was not exactly uplifting.
And while this scene may not evoke tears in everyone, there is an undeniable sadness at the thought of this tragic love, and all the madness they had to go through. Plus, how many games end with your character killing himself, ultimately making everything you had accomplished up to that point for nothing?
Like I said, nihilism at its finest. And most ruining.

Two moments from Mass Effect 3:
– Thane's death after his Kai Leng battle
– Mordin's death (especially so if he sings)
# Dexon 09 Apr 2012 at 10:23 am
You nailed it. I just couldn't bring my renegade Femshep to shoot Mordin during my second playthrough because my paragon playthrough had Mordin singing right before his end.

At the end of castle 1-4, that stupid toadstool tells Mario, "Thank you but our princess is in another castle!"
What the hell?!? Total heartbreak! Never did track that stupid princess down. After that, I stuck with my 2600 and ignored the NES.
# Primeon 09 Apr 2012 at 12:00 pm
If you want sad, play the fantastic little indie game "To the Moon".
An indie Adventure RPG, about two doctors traversing through the memories of a dying man to fulfill his last wish.
It has a great story, but it's just sad through and through. There are tear-jerking moments all the way through, but then you get to the final revelation, and you look back on everything that you know and realise it's all 10x as sad what you originally thought.
It will make you cry.
# shwiggleson 09 Apr 2012 at 12:00 pm
You do know that Agro lives right? It's a powerful moment when the horse does the sacrifice, but he's a true stud and limps back in the epilogue.
# kem0sabeon 09 Apr 2012 at 12:06 pm
Darkness Spoiler:
I agree with the Darkness choice, but i think that the ending, if Jackie chooses the suicide option, is even more emotionally intense, with Jackie resting his head on his girls lap while they are both enjoying the moment sitting on a park bench.
The dialogue, the music… i cried
# Velovanon 09 Apr 2012 at 12:29 pm
A few from my playing experiences…
- Eli Vance dies in HL2:E2
- Aries in FFVII
- Anyone dying in any Mass Effect game except Kaiden
# Rosstopheron 09 Apr 2012 at 1:37 pm
Metal Gear Solid 3 At the end when EVA is talking about the sacrifice the Boss had made for her country, dying a traitor in the eyes of America. She loved her country so much and the salute of Big Boss brought a patriotic tear to my eye.
# Mikeon 09 Apr 2012 at 1:48 pm
I'm on of the trolls for FF7. You said the scene didn't have longevity? We're in 2012 and we're still talking about it. Her death came out of no where. Countless people spent hours grinding and leveling her up for her to be killed off before disc one ended. To say Tidus had a more emotional ending is insane comparing it to Aeries. Aeris' death will always be the #1 most emotional moment in video games and it'll be talked about until we're all old and using walkers.
# trashcanmanon 09 Apr 2012 at 2:10 pm
Putting down Legion really got me in ME3 as well. Stupid Quarians. But yeah, part of the genius of FF7 was that killing off an essential party member simply was not done. The disbelief persists in gaming communities to this day. And you still get items for her for the rest of the game. I remember finding her ultimate weapon in-game and feeling sad all over again because I really felt like I'd been cheated by that prick Sephiroth. It's pretty amazing that a game can evoke these kinds of emotional responses.
# Kevon 09 Apr 2012 at 3:46 pm
Oh fuck the companion cube. :/
Also: As much as MGS4 was a titanic, sluggish, practically unplayable, gibbering, insane glob of rambling nonsense… The final fight between Snake and Ocelot was amazing… Resorting to just cracking their heads together before grabbing a syringe of plot-contrivance steroids and //Injecting it into eachother//… :'(
Also, apparently none of you fuckers have ever played Suikoden.
<3 Gremio.
# RBournon 09 Apr 2012 at 4:14 pm
My closest moment to any of these was in Neverwinter Nights. You spend the whole first game dealing with the betrayal of Aribeth and striking her down ends her conspiracy against the city and it feels so right to do.
Then she reappears in the third chapter of the second expansion pack. You find her tortured soul in hell sealed in a cave of ice and actually have the option to redeem her soul back to a paladin class. I had been a badass Blackguard the whole time, and finding her made me swear off the evil powers I had obtained and play through the rest of the game as a repentant monk, accompanied by Aribeth.
Sad I know, but it had a lot of significance for me.

Nanako. Persona 4.
# Steve2on 09 Apr 2012 at 10:08 pm
I'm guessing Shadow of Colossus has multiple endings. Because when I watched my friend beat it, the horse didn't die.
# Amyon 09 Apr 2012 at 10:58 pm
You're dead the whole time in FF X?! Damn. lol Way to ruin it, Remy lol jk.
# Alaricon 09 Apr 2012 at 11:13 pm
@Lost Link Believe me, if I didn't have a walkthrough of P4 telling me exactly how to avoid the bad ending of the game, I would've ended it that way out of grief for Nanako. Say, you think she'll appear in a future Persona as a persona-user?
@Remy Sorry to be "that nerdy guy" but I must point out to you that Tidus wasn't actually dead, because he didn't really exist. Him, Jecht, and the Zanarkand they were from were just a dreamworld constructed by the combined will of the Faythe, and Jecht somehow gained some semblence of being a real person when he left made contact with the previous Sin and left Zanarkand. Same thing happened to Tidus, and after Sin was permanently destroyed, for some reason Tidus' life depended on the continued dream of the Faythe, and since Yuna sent them on they couldn't dream anymore so he disappeared. I'm sure you'll point out that the Faythe could've stopped dreaming to get rid of the current Sin (Jecht), but Yu Yevon would've still been out there so it wouldn't've worked. If you think about it, Tidus and Jecht weren't really people, they were instruments of the Faythe's will and desire to wipe out Sin, and once their purpose was complete, their existence was no longer necessary. And that is why Tidus' disappearance at the end of FFX was much sadder than simply being "dead" the whole time.
# LawlessVictoryon 10 Apr 2012 at 4:11 am
Red Dead Redemption was sad, but it also freaked me out in a way that that no other game has ever managed to accomplish. The part right before the ending when you suddenly go from missions about revenge and killing gang leaders to missions about living at home with your family is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen in a game, because you're sitting there the whole time going "This is just too ominous. If this is the happy ending, why is the game still going? Something is going to happen. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!"
No other game had delivered that cinematic calm before the final storm so well, and, of course, by the time they do come calling, it all makes sense, and you've seen the signs, and you've felt the vibe, but you just don't wanna believe it because, as you stated here, the bond you've spent so long building with this character is about to come to an end. An incredible ending made possible by an excellent build.
# Kevon 10 Apr 2012 at 7:27 am
@ Remy – Fine, I'll bite.
"YOU CAN F*CK THE COMPANION CUBE? Is it a mod or something? I would SO do that, send me a link of you have one."
Oh, bugger off.
The cube does not belong on this list. It wasn't sad, it wasn't meaningful – It was a joke. And it was a joke in one room, in one game that was more to do with a sadistic overlord abusing her torture subject du jour than it was of any meaningful connection with a painted storage box.
Anything beyond that one room, and that one gag – including the nod in Portal 2 – is nothing more than fanwank dragging out a singular moment (belittling the original game by turning it into a meme, thanks for that) and a hollow attempt at recreating that same fanwank.
"And I did like the MG4 end battle a lot, but fell asleep after the first three hours of it."
MGS4 was a pile of steaming wank, granted. But I really do believe that the final homoerotic relationship between Snake and Ocelot is the emotional highpoint of the series – and yes, that means I do think it tops Naked Snake's final moments with Big Boss.
The final cumulation of their lives, the acknowledgement that dispute all they've done, they've only done it in order to get to this moment – the knowledge that they need each other to live and that this point will mark the end of it, so they're gonna make it last and be as poignant as possible was just amazing.
It's the same relationship we keep coming back to with Batman and Joker, they're nothing without each other, and in that ending Snake and Ocelot knew it, and knew it was going to end.
"And regarding Suikoden, 109 extra playable characters for your party in every game, and there have been, what, five games or something? And you want me to handpick ONE moment out of that for this list? Sorry man, I don't have 375 hours of spare time."
I highlighted the first game specifically (otherwise I would have specified a sequel – Hell the secret ending to Suikoken 2 – Where you can let your best friend damn near kill you protesting that you'd never raise a hand against him, could also go here) and I also specified a character: Gremio. So thanks for pointing out the rest of the games, but it really wasn't needed.
For those not in the know Gremio is practically your character's nanny – he did infact, raise you, as your father was never home.
He is by your side in almost every adventure, and practically sleeps outside your door. He blames himself for everything that happens to you and constantly gets in the way of any action that will but you at risk. Initially he's a whiny pain in the ass because of all this… But then you enter Scarleticia Castle – where a flesh-eating pollen is being created as a weapon of mass destruction to quell the rebels.
Gremio shoves you out of a room about to be flooded with the stuff and locks the door behind you, preventing the pollen from being released, but trapping himself inside.
The next few minutes involve Gremio talking to you through a closed door, telling you to be brave, and how proud he is of you and so forth – while also describing his slow loss of vision and weakness as the pollen eats him alive. His annoying actions become clear as you realise how much he loves you, evidently to the point that he will give his life for you. When the door opens, all that is left of him is his cloak and his axe.
And again – By this point you've invested a hell of a lot of time into the game, and are unprepared for a main character death (Suikoden came out before FF7 – We hadn't experienced Aeris yet) Its impact is lesser now but not by much, I'd argue.
Anyway – There's my more in depth, reasoned arguments for my comments. In short there are far more potent and emotional sequences that deserve to be on this list than another dance routine over a played out, misrepresented meme involving a lump of plastic.
# Mr Jimon 10 Apr 2012 at 1:20 pm
Every Professor Layton game:
Curious Village: Finding out how much Flora's father loved her, and to what lengths he went through so as to provide to try and provide her with a caring intelligent guardian.
Pandora's box: Finding out how much love Anton had for Sophia, how he truly regretted her leaving, and wished he never was in line to rule the town. But also finding out why Sophia left, because she was pregnant, and that she, just before she died, in turn gave a message to Anton telling him how much she loved him, how she would always love him. And so even though he has lost his one true soul mate, his love lives on through his granddaughter.
Lost Future: Finding out that Celeste really is Claire, and that Layton has to go through the agony of losing her once again so as to restore the timeline. She walks down an an alley, and fades away into the past, as all Hershel can do is take off his hat and quietly sob over losing his first and most likely true love all over again.
Seriously, the Professor Layton games would make anyone cry, they are some of the most touching pieces of drama I have ever seen…and they're made even better with all the puzzles in between.

@ Remy: I'm gonna sound really nasty in parts of this comment. Grab a cup of coffee, and be calm before you respond. I appreciate your opinion, I really do, but I want your informed opinion, not your "OMG YOU'RE SO WRONG!" initial, emotional response.
To quote you:
"Now if you want to DISAGREE with what I have on the list, cool.!"
I disagree that the companion cube belongs on the list.
"for you to come here and tell me the cube doesn't belong on the list I wrote is just hilarious to me. I wrote the list, dude. "
So which is it? Can you cope with me disagreeing with your list or not?
C'mon dude – Man up and take the critique.This is the real world, people will disagree with opinions you have. You have stated why you think the meme belongs on your list, I have stated my opinions to the contrary.
Clearly you are invested in a running gag. That's your deal.
I personally took exception to your rather casual and hand-wavy disregard for my, admittedly, informal and jocular initial comment. That itself prompted me to make the longer explanatory rebuttal.
And I appreciate your comment about Suikoden.
To be honest if we're gonna turn this into a "I've cried more over video games than you" contest then we'll be here for years – I've not even brought up Seth from Illusion of Time/Gaia or the poisoned village from Lagoon (I may be the only person on this planet who was moved by anything in Lagoon beyond a desire to get their money back) but that's the point of this list, right? To spark conversation over what emotional experiences games have given us.
I love Portal, which is why I hate the Companion Cube – and the Cake for that matter.
Both are now mearly memes that strip the worth of the game down to their bare bones and trivialise their effect. It's the equivilant of people saying that they love Dawn of the Dead because a zombie gets his head cut off, or saying that they love Robocop because ED-209 turns a dude into red paste – It trivialises the overall artefact, reducing it down to a single moment that is not part of the overall impact of the game or film.
If you are committed to your belief that a joke within the first quarter of a 4-hour subgame is worthy of being put on a list exploring the greatest emotional highpoints in gaming, that's your thing. My thing is that is is that the cube is, as it is now, in popular culture, an overworked joke that has cheapened the effect of the game it is in.
Tell me why I am wrong – What do you see that I don't? Why does the cube belong on your list? Clearly I am not convinced by the article you have written, can you address the points about the cube that I have made?
And seriously, don't go waving your E-wang in my face with the "I write for Unreality" line. That one line did more damage to my respect for you than anything else you have written.
What you wrote was YOUR work, YOUR opinion, and I want to read more of that. It's rare that an Unreality article prompts me to comment in the first place, your article was good enough to do that, be proud. But prompting comments means prompting critique. I disagree with you, and I want to learn more in the hope that we can both learn of other opinions.
What you wrote, with the "I write for Unreality" line gives me the impression that you think that "I'm writing for a website ergo my opinion trumps yours", which I'm sure you don't mean – You're trying to protect something that you've put a lot of work into, which I appreciate, but you've gotta be ready for backlash.
Hell – Read any forum on, say, The Spoony One's site, or Rob Bricken's occasional list. Those people put up with far worse deconstructions of their work than the arguments I've put to you.
For the record – I run a leisure learning course at my local college where I, and the others in my group (I refuse to call myself a lecturer – I'm a guide) discuss the development of Video games as an art form (building on my Uni course in Film, and my dissertation, and a talk I gave as BCUR, on how Video Games and Film are linked in their development as art forms, and what we can learn from this) I have an interest in this topic because pulling deep emotional response from the audience is one of the things that marks out a great film, as it also does a great game – But it also marks out an individual's experience of both the film and the game. So I might not have a position on this website, but to dismiss me offhand as easily as you tired to do is a little arrogant.
Take a deep breath, think and respond.

Red Dead Redemption did something no other VG could do…actually create a vested interest in a character and story line…from the graphics to the music, the game drew you in to it's own world…you feel fear during a cougar attack, foreboding while riding through Tall Trees due to bears, or just explore…RDR has set a precedent…good luck…this video game sold records for Jose Gonzalez!…

Got it all wrong guys. The most tormenting moment of video game history was the time you turned on Pokemon Blue to find it no longer saved.
# Sargonon 25 Aug 2012 at 6:17 pm
I was very upset at the way it ends for John Marsten, I tried so hard to make him the good guy, if I had known it would end like this I would have made him the most ruthless killer in the game. What's the point in a morality system if it all ends the same. The only satisfaction I got out of the end was taking Jack killing the first agent after he tells me where Ross retired at. At finding his home and he's not there I killed his wife, slowly. Upon finding his brother I killed him too. After killing agent Ross, I felt the game could have gone further. Because I wanted to kill agent Ross' entire %$##%^ family.
#1 rule for games from Rockstar now is kill every one.

Good list… but..
*Major Spoilers*
Agro doesn't even die xD I mean, it is super sad when you think he dies, but he comes back eventually.
I wonder if the topic write knew this, and didn't want to spoil it? (Even though he mentioned this would have spoilers) or just forgot? :p
Good post though, all very good picks.

Mixed reaction to farmer's solar panel plan
3:00pm Saturday 15th February 2014 in News
There was a mixed reaction to a St Keverne farmer's plans to install 98 solar panels.
David Lambrick has asked for planning permission to place the ground-mounted photovoltaic panels on land at Trenance.
His plans came before the parish council last week, when member Russell Peters described them as "monstrosities."
He said: "I think they spoil the countryside."
However, he conceded that these panels could be hidden.
Councillor Michael Anselmi said he was normally not in favour, but this was for a small bank of panels.
Councillor Roger Richards said: "The ones in the ground are better than the roof ones." They agreed by majority to support the plans.

Teejay says...
But while our high energy bills are subsidising 'green' schemes you can't blame the farmer for wanting to make some quick and easy money.
Where will our food come from once we've filled all the fields with houses a get-rich-quick energy schemes?

Recently, I figured out that if the gas gauge on my truck said EMPTY it was pretty much time to find a gas station. So I went to town, went into what I call the Concession Stand to prepay as I preferred to use that old-fashioned item cash. After paying and small talk I went back to the pump, took the gas cap off, and chose the correct octane. I also inwardly smiled at the price thinking of the time in my life when the cost per gallon was what was after the 3 on the pump. I then dutifully pumped the required amount of fuel into my tank and was surprised when I saw the gas gauge that it had not moved as much as I had hoped.
If my windows needed washing I was the one to do it. If I needed to check the oil, again up to me. How about the tire pressure? You know everyone in the know says that is important to gas mileage. Yep, once again up to you.
This brought back memories of the summer that I worked for my cousin Bill Caldwell at his Sinclair Station at Eighth and Main. Bill was an individual who was extremely persnickety about how things were to be done. He pumped gas, changed oil, greased the car, washed (by hand) the car and did minor mechanical work. There were usually two people there: Bill and someone like me. I was the one denoted to pump the gas when required while Bill did the major work needed on his customer's vehicles. If the ringer said there was a car at the pump I was the one to go and do my thing.
For each car that came in I would ask what octane, Ethyl or Regular? Then I would start the pump because usually they would want it filled up. While pumping I would wash the windshield, check the tire pressure and oil status and anything else the customer might like checked. I was to mention to the customer anything I might have noticed that needed attention, like a smooth tire. Then, if oil was needed I had to ask the customer about it and if they were wanted then I would fill up the required amount of oil. That oil came from a glass can with a metal top that was filled up each day from a 55 gallon drum of oil. I would then take the amount of cash required, go to the station and put it in the cash register. Not at all like what goes on today.

Expansion Is Adeptus Theme For Spring Market

Adeptus is focused on the value proposition of its pine furniture as it prepares for the Spring High Point Market. At its showroom in High Point, NC, the supplier will do more of what it does best, said company president Billy White, by building on successful initiatives.
Plans call for expansion of rolling cards among other popular items particularly in bedroom and storage and organization, White noted. Adeptus also will introduce three completely new pine product lines.
White added that an important message he is bringing to market is that the company is expanding as rapidly as it can source material but continues to focus on value as it produces pine furniture at a price that's competitive with typical RTA.

Taiwanese animators provide their take on Canes-Seminoles showdown

Be quiet now monkey, ur embarrassing yourself! !
This game is Stephen Morris' chance to carve out his own place in the record book at the school, because so far, his legacy is a comeback against a 7-7 team on the road and a last second TD to avoid a loss to a 7-5 team that fired their coach. Hope he's dialed in.
Posted by: National title elimination game kickoff at 8 pm | November 02, 2013 at 11:34 AM
Does kirby freeman have any eligibility left, we need him in the bullpen!
So if Sanders would of trash talked,that would of made Detroit better...Lmao..
Whoever keeps trying to make the point about being stuck in an era, are you trying to fight against a time of when it was nothing but a bunch of winning. it's clear why you johnny come lately's keep defending and praising under performances!
What i wonder today is this:
Does UM come out with a new game plan on O and D?
Can UM start fast, instead of take a full half to play their best?
Can UM secondary tackle well today?
Can O-line open holes in the first half?
And most important......
Can Steven Morris play the best game of his career today?
If the Canes had not trashed talked and invested more time in getting ready for certain opponents we would be talking about 9 National Championships, not the current 5...Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio State and Penn State.
Trash talk for most is a feeble attempt to hide fear.
Speak softly and carry a big arse stick!!!
Right ...dudes a fool. It's about respect these days!!!
Trash talk makes u better!!!!! Lmao
"Deserve Trash Talk"
Alabama deserves to trash talk. Yet they don't. That's a highly disciplined team and that's why they are on track for 3 straight NC's
The 80-90's Canes earned the right to talk trash.
Trash talking is something you earn. Not something you do to make yourself think you're better. It only motivates the other team to punch you in the mouth.
If trash talking makes you better, where's all the trash talking from Bama, FSU, Oregon, Baylor?
Doesn't seem to make any difference.
The trash talking is done with your pads, not your mouth...
Several teams did lots of "trash talking" with the Miami Heat last year's playoffs.
Indiana and Chicago did it.
How well did that work out for them?
And the multiple Rings San Antonio Spurs. Not a peep of trash talking and they won theirs.
The Miami Heat? No trash talking. 2 consecutive rings.
New England Patriots during their runs? No trash talk.
Save the energy running your mouth to put into the energy playing the game.
Trash talk is for wannabe little boys.
Men put their hard hats on and lay the wood on your skull.
Posted by: StormsCominBitches | November 02, 2013 at 01:38 PM
Yeah, even Ali deserved to talk trash, and what not, back in the day. hUh Get outta' here with that lame chit, Outsider! Especially when Ali " backed " up his talk and defeated the PEOPLES CHOICE ( Liston ) back in the day.
FWIW... in the previous 10 meetings between Miami, Florida and MIGHTY F.S.U., the winning margin has NEVER been greater than " FOURTEEN POINTS! "
Again, the Vegas line-maker's INTENTIONALLY inflated the - 21 point spread, because the Seminoles are a PUBLIC wagering favorite, i.e., F.S.U. is 7-0 against the point spread.
So, Goldie's squad may lose tonight, but the Hurricanes won't get MASSACRED akin to Clemson. Just U wait and see!!
That was in the 60s.
Ask Rollie Massimino and his Villanova Wildcat team if they thought they had a chance against INVINCIBLE Georgetown in the '85 N.C. game. hUh
By the way, Villanova was a NO.8 seed and a game time... - 9 1/2 point nuetral court underdog.
Coach Massimino's squad had the GREATES UPSET in men's N.C.A.A. Tournament history. Because no NO.8 seed has and had ever defeated a NO. 1 seed.
Upset's happen bubba's. That's why they are called upsets!! dUh
And ask Broadway Joey if his Jet teammates thought they had a shot to defeat MIGHTY Baltimore back in the day.
FWIW... the Colt's were a - 14 1/2 point favorite.
Just listened to the GREAT Lean Searcy on wqam.
Didn't hear him say anything about trash talking as part of what it takes to win.
He believes our O-line has the size, condition and experience to dominate the FSU defensive front. Core of our O game plan is run Duke and Dallas.
He recommends playing zone defense! (sorry Calvin, Searcy actually played championship football and NFL and disagrees with you about playing Man 100%)
Keep WInston to short passes. Make him take 8-10 plays to go down the field. Make him impatient.
All the talk ends in 5 hours.
Game on....
Especially when Ali " backed " up his talk and defeated the PEOPLES CHOICE ( Liston ) back in the day.

It has been well documented that Ali was sheeting in his pants having to fight the big, bad Sonny Liston, thus the constant chatter and trash talk. Ali was trying to convince himself that he could beat Liston, not convince Liston of anything.
U know who is unsung so far, standing out on film to me, one of the best players on our defense and who we should keep an eye on for big plays today?

These guys are like women that take everything you say out of context. So we have to break it down for them this way, what's the purpose of a pre-game speech, a pre-game speech is to get the team hyped and motivated by what, WORDS! So those who keep saying "trash talk doesn't make you better", lol, don't understand what they're talking about or understand what WORDS. If barry sanders in certain games had talked trash or danced his way to the endzone at least once or twice, that would've elevated the whole DETROIT lions squad, because they would've all had gotten hyped just like a pre-game speech is intended to do.
Had barry sanders ever trash talked before a game about an opponent, the whole team would've first been surprised, but they also would've said if barry said it, the rest of us gone back him up. trash talk during the game also makes your opponents weaker and takes them off of their game. So these guys that keep acting like trash talk is a non-issue, are comical, Muhammad Ali did and who cares if it's on record that Ali was scared of sonny liston, while the fight was going on, sonny liston couldn't tell none of that and Ali backed it up, so again, bad example.
That video clip illustrates what everyone knows. The Noles will annihilate the canes. lol even in Taiwan they know this! Only the delusional fools in thr Gables think otherwise. A Taiwanse holding a sUcks to be U sign, priceless. The whole world knows, time to open your eyes and step into reality fools.
21-16...scoreboard you hillbilly loser!!
If the Canes are annihilated by FSU then your poor ole 50th ranked Gators will be gang raped!!
21-16 baby...laughing at you!!

One of the self pride players i was talking about, he's been holding the defensive secondary down back their and is doing the #26 justice for sure by being productive out there. Also i like how i saw him go and get at ladarius gunther for giving up that un-necessary touchdown against UNC. I don't see the Fsu receivers being able to just dog us today except when it comes to crossing routes and if we dont' get stupid and start having defensive ends covering backs in the flats and what not.
Our guys did a real good job on benjamin last year in the redzone although i wasn't to sure about those offensive pass interference calls myself against gunther but all somebody needs to do is while benjamin is going up for the ball, the 2nd player needs to not try and out jump him but blast him, that'll make em gun shy for sure. We need to make o'leary a none factor just like we did last year, and force winston to have to make long drives, although most of the solid qb's have done it already, so i know coach goldie and his minions are banking on redzone defense.
We definitely have fans now who sound exactly like the media talking heads they claim to despise such as: Mark May, Lou Holtz, Jesse Palmer, and Rece Davis (whom I abhor).
Both groups openly acknowledge and celebrate our past of dominance. But both groups have animosity towards the way we did it. Both groups are staunch supporters of Al Golden, but kinda like UM football no matter the coach.
Ali did a great job convincing himself lol. Trash-talk isn't everything, but it definitely has *proven* utility, every Hurricane fan should be able to attest to this.
I meant: "..but kinda like UM football depending on who is the coach."
Winston's impact on FSU's team, which is almost the same offensively from last season, can be largely contributed to the way he moves socially or his swagger. He addresses them before games and he talks crazy trash while convincing them that there's nothing to worry about because they can all be as dialed in as he is if they believe and trust their ability.
The difference between this year's FSU and last season's version is unquestionably Winston's play and verbal leadership. Everyone is blocking and playing harder because he has proved to them that every play can be a TD for any of them. They aren't "hoping", they "know" and have certainty that they will score every possession if they want. They've been convinced that the "sky is the limit" with him under center and we have to cut his head off tonight!

In other words, what magic johnson was to the fast break, winston is to their passing game, just fill the lanes. The question, how many lanes will this scheme give him tonight.
I'll say this, this might be the night of the batted/volley ball technique coming thru for us that might actually work. jameis seems to have a low projectory on his passes, but we'll find out early. One thing for sure that'll be obvious tonight though, they'll know they're not playing clemson.
It would be good to start the game off with a called blitz just in case, or just load the line of scrimmage up so they don't know who's coming and from where, if this is the type of 3-4 we plan on running than let's run it than.
The thing i think is getting ready to happen though is, since smo17 can't read defenses and audible, this is why we've gone to the stupid get under center, back away from center and look to the sidelines technique for calls.
If our o-linemen are line-tapping tonight and it helps Fsu get an advantage in pass rushing, that'll tell us how sharp coach goldie is, now one things for sure, if we use the line-tapping to our advantage and throw teams off, ok, i'm off for it, but line-tapping means we're passing the ball.
I could be wrong, but that stretch running play against speed may not be a good idea tonight. The one thing about not having dorsett, you gotta respect his speed but he also can pass the ball downfield which would be a good play to run to night and catch Fsu off guard. Anyway, to all of those who have been saying the 500 club has been holding back and what not, tonight you'll get all your answers.
Canes have won with trash talking, and have won without it. Classic Canes versus Texas in the Cotton Bowl, they did ZERO pre game trash talking, while Texas flapped their gums, until the game started. 1984 Orange Bowl, Nebraska did all the talking, but when the game was over, Miami got to get the last word. But the 1987 and 2001 canes talked TRUTH, saying they were the best team in the nation, which was not trash talking.
If you win, it is a fact. If you lose, it is talking trash.
Putney, I know it sucks that he jokes about the death of Canes players, but what FSU does to Florida does not matter, the State championship is decided tonight.
My Canes don't deserve trash talk until they win an NC again.
Anything trash talking before climbing to the mountain top is foolish and will make them look foolish.
Game day and the fools are here think trash talking is whats important....wow. Dumb.
Lets get back to actual football:
3 hours to go.
This game hinges in morris, o-line and receivers.
All other parts of the team will compete well. The offense is whats unproven.
I think I'd enjoy choking out Reece Davis...that punk. Front running punks, all of them.
If you win, it is a fact. If you lose, it is talking trash.

Damn thats a good point, I like that.
I'm not concerned about individual players; FSU's creativity on offense worries me. The have multiple formations and lots of weapons. That TE can do some serious damage if we come out soft in coverage.
Ya'll are dufus'. I am glad I live fir away from people? like you. Dufus fans from a dufus place. We here in the mtns. know our football. Look at the stadiums further norf. 100.000 plus. Futbal in flariduh is irrelevant to the national scene. Ohio State, Michhigan, Big ten will OWN college football in the next few years. Miami will never, be nationally relevant again.FSU 95 UM 13 Alabama, 48 Fsu 21 Oregon 56 Ala 28 OSU 49 Oregon 21 OSU should be nat champs, you are chumps again
by 8;30, game over
Another smug media prick who I'd love to still on is Dari Nowkhah of ESPN, he tries to act tough and control debates, but he's weak. He hates UM too.
So, you are from the mountains of Ohio, huh? Weak effort.
Dufus is talking about a do-nothing Big Ten.
All your teams would be Div II if you didn't have Florida players.
Your jealousy is obvious.
Very true, that regions best players are unanimously Floridian.
Now the Gallo/Calvin/Tubby group are psychiatrists as well as college football heads coaches. They know that FSU's great season has been caused buy some speeches the qb has made. Wouldn't have happened otherwise, I guess.
^^^And U have the nerve to call someone else a "hater" mountaincane/GKC???
U hate that U love our posts--that why U can't help but comment on them. If U disagree then express how. The shoe must fit U, because U aren't on anyone's radar when they post and no names have been mentioned. U are a jealous like a broad.
Its more than clear and obvious that Winston is the difference in FSU's play this season. Speeches weren't the only contributions mentioned either. His performance was mentioned as well.
You'll do anything to disagree. Now thats the true definition of hating.
"The difference between this year's FSU and last season's version is unquestionably Winston's play and verbal leadership."
Posted by: HarrietTubmanCane | November 02, 2013 at 04:08 PM
You'll delete or twist anything to hate.
The difference between UM and FSU, 6 scholarships, 3 postseason bowls, a real head coach, and top talent that has been developed into top 10 players. UM has very little talent, a lousy QB, so-so offensive line, good RB, lousy coach who belongs at Temple, and very little hope for the future. Your recruiting class is over hyped, and won't matter, NOLES will keep on ruling this matchup for many years. This game will be closer than Clemson, but we will cover the spread 7-1 baby

Ryan Smyth on Sunday reflected on his career and in particular his final game on Sunday. He was asked when he finally took off his equipment.
"1:38 a.m.," said Smyth, adding that a number of loyal fans waited outside Rexall Place for him to depart.
"There were still fans outside. That was pretty cool and overwhelming to see. I went out and signed for them. They waited that long, they deserve that. Then I just went home and soaked every moment of it in, again. It was quite amazing and a thrill, what those fans really did mean to me and family. I loved every moment of it."
Smyth equated the evening to his Gold Medal victory in 2002.
"That was the same in the Olympics, we sat in the room for hours and hours and just rehashed the tournament. It was the same last night," Smyth continued, adding, "What really was overwhelming, not only the fans but even in the locker room after, the guys stuck around. Their wives, girlfriends and families came in and just relished every moment."
The 38-year-old was asked about what made him decide to come to the decision to retire, and in particular why before the season was out.
"I thought of it as owing it to the fans and what they've done for me and how they've treated me over the years," he remarked. "Do I do it now, or do I do it later? I thought, I had good discussions with Mac about it and we came up with this scenario. It was fitting for an Edmonton Oiler and fitting for the fans."
Andrew Ference spoke to the media on the team's final day at Rexall Place before departing for the off-season. One of the questions he was asked surrounded giving Ryan Smyth the captaincy for his final game on Saturday.
"You've got to go back about a month, talking with Langer (Jeff Lang), our trainer there. Just trying to get a feed on where Smytty's head was at. The two of us were pestering him about his intentions for the next few years. With him tying the power play record and stuff, we wanted to do a few special things.
"He's been bugging Langer for a skate sharpener for about two years. We figured a good gift from the boys would be that. I talked to Langer at the same time about, if he is retiring, he's wearing the C for sure. That was definitely in line for awhile."
Ference had the discussions with Jeff Langer, but also was approached by head coach Dallas Eakins.
"Dallas called me to his office a few days ago and you could tell he was uncomfortable. He wasn't really spitting it out, he said 'I've got an idea, I don't know how to say this or approach this' and so I stopped and got a feeling what he was thinking. I asked him if it was that and then he said 'perfect, we're on the same page.'
"It's a no brainer. The guy is a legend. It's about as easy a decision as you could ever have. To see a guy go out like that, it's the first time in my career where I've seen a retirement that is like that. I was with Recchi and he knew he was going to retire but you're in the playoffs, it's different. The focus isn't on you.
"For him to get a send-off like that at home, it was really special."
The Edmonton Oilers announced today they have assigned the following players to the American Hockey League's Oklahoma City Barons.
-Will Acton (C)
-Roman Horak (C)
-Anton Lander (C)
-Steve Pinizzotto (RW)
-Tyler Pitlick (RW)
-Oscar Klefbom (D)
The Edmonton Oilers announced today they have recalled forward Roman Horak from the American Hockey League's Oklahoma City Barons.
Horak, 22, has posted 52 points (21G, 31A) in 63 games this season. He has appeared in 50 games for the Barons, registering 45 points (19G, 26A) and a plus 13 rating since being acquired from the Abbotsford Heat.
The 6'0", 170-pound centre made his Oilers debut on December 31st against the Phoenix Coyotes.
EXCLUSIVE: Smyth 1-ON-1 | WATCH | Press Conference | Smyth: One Last Game | Smyth Bio
Some of Ryan Smyth's teammates and Head Coach Dallas Eakins took the time to reflect on 94's career and presence in the dressing room, today after practice.
"Ryan has been excellent," the Oilers head coach said. "He's a pro, he's somebody that you wish you could extract some of his DNA and inject it into every one of them. I can't say enough about him as a player but more importantly, as a person."
"I think it's just his love of the game," Hall said of what stuck out the most about Smyth. "He's a guy that really loved coming to the rink everyday. That may not be a skill by any means but to have that kind of engrained in you, it's special and it was fun to watch for the last three years."
Hall says Smyth spoke with the team this morning and dropped some wisdom on the younger players around him.
"He's brought a lot to our young group. Just him talking to our group this morning, really emphasizing the fact that it's a privilege to play this game and he just reiterated that it is a lot of fun to play this game and to be a part of the group of guys that we have and day-after-day coming into the rink is truly something you should be grateful for. There's a lot of things you can take from Smytty, a lot of things he did on the ice so well and in the room as well. He's just a cheerful guy and a pleasure to be around."
Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens hasn't had as much time playing with Smyth as some others on the roster but the Spruce Grove, AB native knows all about the veteran from when he watched him growing up.
"Obviously, he's a hard-nosed guy," Scrivens said. "He's a guy that maybe didn't have the skill level that some of the other All Stars in the league had and some of the other guys who have played a thousand-plus games. I don't know how many guys he's going to toe-drag but he's scored a heck of a lot more goals than a lot of guys with better skill than him and that's a compliment to him, that's not a knock on him.
"I think he embodies what the Edmonton fans like in a hockey player. He's a never say, 'quit', right to the last minute, go to the tough areas, score a goal with your face if you have to type of player and I think that resonates with the people around here. I know for myself personally, when I was growing up with my family, he was a player that we watched as a catalyst. You almost liked watching him get the absolute crap get kicked out of him in front of the net and then watch him get rewarded by it by putting one home."
Sam Gagner, much like Hall, spoke about Smyth's passion for the game.
"Having a chance to play a few years with Smytty, you hear so much about him coming into the league and have an amazing amount of respect for him," the Oilers centre said. "The way he's kind of treated me as a young guy and taught me how to be a pro and you see the passion he has for the game even now after however many games he's played. He's always on the ice first, off last and working to get better and it's something you can learn from as a teammate. You share in that passion that he has for the game and it's really infections. He's had an unbelievable career, he's got a lot to be proud of an I think one of the biggest ones is the impact he's had on his teammates and we're obviously all very proud of him."
Edmontonoilers.com will carry a press conference live beginning at 2:00 p.m.
Pitlick and Larsen are the extra forwards.
On defence,
The Oilers announced that they will hold a news conference at Rexall Place today at 2:00 p.m. MDT. You can watch it live in the Oilers Mobile App and at edmontonoilers.com.

Hunt has enjoyed a career-best season. Through 62 games, the defenceman has scored 49 points (11-38-49) for a franchise record for points by a defenceman. The previous best of 48 was set by Oilers defenceman Justin Schultz last season. Schultz was named the AHL's Defenceman of the Year for that performance.
Hunt is currently fourth amongst AHL defencemen in scoring.
The blueliner earned his first NHL call up this season, playing three games for Edmonton.
Hunt was also a member of the 2011-12 Chicago Wolves, who were coached by Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish.

The Plot to Get Bill Gates: An Irreverent Investigation of the World's Richest Man...and the People Who Hate Him
Three Rivers Press, 2000 - Business & Economics - 364 pages
To understand the magnitude of Bill Gates, one must first understand the people who hate him, most of whom suffer from an acute case of "Bill Envy."
The Plot to Get Bill Gates is the true, hilarious story of a loosely knit cabal of Silicon Valley's wealthiest and most successful leaders and their quest to defeat the richest man in the world. These leaders are known within Microsoft as Captain Ahab's Club for their self-destructive fixation with harpooning the Great White Whale of Redmond, all two hundred pounds and $50 billion of him. Acclaimed journalist Gary Rivlin tells their tale as a high-tech variation on Moby-Dick, and by taking us deep inside the world of Gates and his enemies, he vividly reveals their consuming obsession.
Lead players in The Plot are Lawrence Ellison of Oracle, Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems, Ray Noorda of Novell, Marc Andreessen and James Barksdale of Netscape, Philippe Kahn of Borland, and Gary Kildall (the unsung programmer who could have been Gates), with special guest appearances by venture capitalist John Doerr, consumer activist Ralph Nader, zealous attorney Gary Reback, and the Fraternal Order of Antitrust Lawyers. The author describes each man's ill-fated attempt at besting Gates, who seems to become bigger, hungrier, and more dangerous after each attack.
Rivlin also conducts an in-depth investigation of Gates himself, examining each crucial step in the ascension of the slope-shouldered billionaire with bad hair and unearthing the most telling details to explain why Gates is so rich and we aren't. (The short answer: monomania.) Rivlin concludes with an illuminating analysis of Microsoft's latest upgrade of its CEO, Gates 3.1, which seemsto be operating with fewer bugs than previous incarnations.
Gary Rivlin's reporting is irreverent and intellectually independent, free of the romanticized portraits and techno-hype perpetuated by many in the media. As an award-winning political reporter, he brings a fresh perspective to the avaricious, bloodthirsty behavior of these new icons. The result is a savagely funny morality play about big business at the century's end.
