Chocobos looks like mutated easter ostriches.
Looks interesting.
once again, the leveling system in an FF game looks byzantine and nonsensical. Great.
Seems more interesting than I thought it would be. But I haven't finished any JRPG's exept for Grandia II so the fact that it's a 3 disk game with characters that might be boring makes it seem like a bad idea to start playing it.
3D Sphere Grid? Sold.
Really nice idea for a video segment. I don't know if you'll use this format for many other game-related things but for something like this where there's really complicated systems to explain but you don't have access to the game at the offices it works really well.
Always nice to see your faces on camera - you all do it so well.
Looks interesting. I just hope that they release a public demo soon.
I like the chemistry between you two guys... if only you sad a bit closer to each other!
It looks absolutely beautiful. The combat looks like complete madness though and I am not a fan of the whole transforming summons thing. Also, what Brad said about the Techniques system reminds me of how the magic system worked in FF8 for some reason.
Horrible, just horrible. And Square wonders why the game is already in bargain bins.
The Jennifer Aniston model for every character got old after FFX-2, the black guy looks like he can't stop dancin' and shootin' in a very racist manner, everything looks Gaysian with frilly edges and overdone style. Basically a huge step backwards in design and looks mind-numbing to "play".
B-roll is an old editing term where the A-roll is your base subject, and you cut in some footage from the B-roll in-between parts of the A-roll. While the term is as old as the first film editing that Edison did, it still works today in a digital medium, since digital editing still mimics the old technique of cutting and pasting footage together.
Should I even bother with the 360 version if I can play the PS3 version?
these types of videos are awesome. keep up the fantastic work.
also FFXIII endurance run incoming?
Hmm... they *DO* look an awful lot like Jennifer Aniston.
Also, coffee mug on crotch != good idea
Still not interested. Brad seemed pumped about it though.
I wonder which one of them invented the time machine necessary to get that couch. That thing is old.
This is one of the things that make Giantbomb so fing good. Superb work guys, keep up the good work.
Lots of good information about the game here, but still not buying any more FF games.
Just looks like a more informative quick look without the one liners, ain't complaining for any more giantbomb features though.
" I like the chemistry between you two guys... if only you sad a bit closer to each other! "Freudian typo. :)
The creepy way that Vinny is rubbing the rim of his glass in the beginning of the video makes it look like these two are on a really awkward date.
Welcome back, Brad! Thanks for bringing this with ya.
Not sure about this game, though. There seems to be way too much information on the screen and it all flies by so fast that it seems difficult to know what the hell is going on. Maybe that's just because I've never played it. I will definitely wait for reviews to see what kind of response the combat system gets.
Endurance run.. nuff said.
why are the hit points so high? they should just make 1000 the most and scale back from there.
I like this feature; it gives you guys a way to put out video content for previews that fits the Giant Bomb mould - resulting in it also being light on required editing. I imagine this is a unique scenario, since you may not always return from a preview with so much B-roll, but I'd enjoy more of these.
The game looks graphically amazing, there's no doubt about that, but I'm not yet sold on the gameplay. On the design side, I can't help feeling like there is something missing, though that thing may be that all the characters lack in anything missing. They are, by design, perfect in appearance. When a character is well written and developed, they can evoke sympathetic feelings almost regardless of how they look; Mass Effect I think is a prime example of this. I'm a little concerned that emphasis will be drawn away from deeper character development in favor of a play for visual empathy.
Maybe I'm just annoyed at myself for thinking Vanille looks cute. But, damn.
" Endurance run.. nuff said. "YES
I had decided I probably wouldn't be getting this game already, thanks to this video that probably is now a lock. The combat system looks flat stupid, the characters look worse other than lightening, and odin looks like ... well not like odin. There is taking the game in a new direction, then there is making it look like michael bay made it.
Vinny just reminded me of the great "We got that B roll!!" internet video. Great new video segment guys!
This should definitely be a regular feature!
I've outgrown literally every aspect of Japanese RPGs, but nevertheless, thanks for the informative feature. And welcome back Brad!
Looks really good
New feature: "Ask me Anything" with questions provided by members and from the staff. You could do this on Bombcast but its more fun looking at the clips and being dedicated to just one game.
Awesome vid. Thaks guys.
Edited last post - I get it now. This combat system looks great!
The same thing happened to MGS4 in Japan as well. Is that a horrible, horrible game as well? (Redundant question because the answer is a pretty obvious no.)
Horrible, just horrible. And Square wonders why the game is already in bargain bins.
I am definitely interested in the game and would like to try it. It would be my first time playing a Final Fantasy game and this games combat does look interesting.
This looks pretty great. I'm going to have to hold on the purchase though, need to rack up money for Bad Company 2.
Seems okay, but "Ask me anything" is not as good as quick looks, since they're not actively participating in the game.
actually ur party follows u around.
oh wow, this game looks A LOT better than i was expecting. i mean i was already thinking about picking it up even though i thought it would be the sort of same old wait and wait but the waiting looks all jazzed up.
new feature pilot!! better than the afterlook thing. hope to see more, though i imagine they won't be as plentiful as quicklooks. it would be fair to say this was essentially giantbomb's version of a preview video yes?
Looks pretty cool. That Vanille chick has a very hot face... just sayin'.
The battles look like crazy information overload but the battle look kind of fun but I'm still on the fence about this.
Wow. Amasingly good video!!! I feel like i understand what the game is about.
Like a mixture of quick look and Q&A. Brilliant. Both the amount of information and editing.
This seems like a nice new segment. It makes stock gameplay video interesting with the bombcastesque commentary.
" why are the hit points so high? they should just make 1000 the most and scale back from there. "I've always, always thought that. But you must admit that it's satisfying when you see the numbers "99999" in red fly out of an enemy because you just landed a devastating critical hit.

Myth and Ritual
Like some of you, I've been reading a book or two on the Old Testament, this year's Sunday School course of study. Most recently I read Susan Niditch's Ancient Israelite Religion (OUP, 1997), described in the jacket blurb as "a perceptive, accessible account of the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Israelites." Too often our approach to the Old Testament is essentially cherrypicking — highlighting passages that affirm our own beliefs and understanding while skimming over or simply ignoring everything else. We can do better. Niditch takes a worldview approach, suggesting we ought to strive to see how... Read more »
How to write a revelation
I have been working on a paper looking at the Doctrine and Covenants, and my research has me thinking about how the texts of modern revelation were produced. I think that there are a lot of Mormons who assume that the words of the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants were dictated word for word to Joseph. On this model, the Doctrine and Covenants is rather like the Qua'ran, which also consists of a series of revelations given to a prophet over a period of years in response to concrete historial circumstances. Pious Muslims affirm that the Qua'ran was... Read more »
An Unexpected Gift
At 3:28 this morning we welcomed a new son into the world. As one would expect, congratulations and well-wishes have come flooding in from friends and family all day. And for all of these we have been moved and grateful. First thing this morning, however, we received a congratulatory gift we hadn't anticipated. Women housed in the Alexandria Detention Center had sent us a hand-crocheted blanket, cap and set of booties. (In Packer yellow-and-green for my Cheese-head wife no less). Both modern and ancient scripture admonish us to serve the "least" of those among us, noting that doing so... Read more »
Genesis and Genre
When we read Genesis, what exactly are we reading? The distinctions and categories we modern readers bring to books and narratives (fiction or nonfiction; science or folk tale; history or literature; poetry or prose; author's original text or quoted source) may not serve us well when we read the Old Testament, a collection of ancient literature. Its writers used different conventions. What were they? What exactly are we reading when we read Genesis? Read more »

Studying the Infancy Narratives
This Christmas Eve, most of us will at least read the "Christmas Story," as found in Luke 2:1-20. As we approach the holiday, a few more diligent souls will read all of the Infancy Narratives, as found in Matt 1-2 AND Luke 1-2. Yet even when reading (as opposed to just remembering or "thinking" about) these familiar texts, the tendency will be to harmonize the two accounts, resulting in a hybrid vision of the birth of Jesus that accords nicely with the Christmas pageants that we will watch and the Nativity scenes that we have set up. But our... Read more »

Divine Comedy, Divine Tragedy
The Bible, as we have received it, sets out the drama of salvation with its wrenching fall and crucifixion, but joyous resurrection and exaltation. Though its compilation is in many ways ad hoc, there is a satisfyingly comedic structure to the whole. As Terryl Givens puts it in his The Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction, just out from Oxford University Press, "There is a neat symmetry . . . Primordial creation is balanced by apocalypse and heavenly postscript . . . All tears are wiped away, and the primal fall and alienation are remedied by reunion under... Read more »

What Does My Lack of Personal Trials Say About Me?
I've been thinking long and hard about what I should talk about in my inaugural post on this blog. Quite honestly, when I agreed to do a stint as a guest blogger, I thought it would be pretty easy. But, lately, it seems that all my Mormonism-related thoughts have been trite and meaningless. For example, I considered drafting a post complaining about one of the teachers Elders Quorum and his refusal to teach out of the manual. But, honestly, I think that post would have just ended up being a rant about a quorum discussion outlining the evils of... Read more »
Breathing the Breath of God
Genesis (2:7) says that God breathed life into Adam's nostrils. Is our life a portion of God's? Jesus quoted a Psalm (82:6) that said, "Ye are gods," when confronted about his claims to divinity. Mormons are usually not so bold, but there is certainly an element in our tradition that states that humans are children of God, like godlings, capable of developing into gods. Is this idea arrogant or humbling? It depends. Read more »
Faith and Healing
"And again, it shall come to pass that he that hath faith in me to be healed, and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed. He who hath faith to see shall see. He who hath faith to hear shall hear. The lame who hath faith to leap shall leap." (D&C 42:48-51) Read more »

Getting over Nibley
Of late I have been thinking of late about how to read Mormon scriptures. In particular, I have been working on some passages in the Book of Mormon on legal interpretation and thinking about how best to approach these sections. By and large, it seems to me that there have been three basic models of how to read LDS scriptures. First, there has been what I think of as an external, sectarian reading. This consists essentially of proof texting in debates and discussions with Protestant outsiders. There is a sense in which this is the oldest kind of LDS hermeneutic. The... Read more »

text: WICOMICO CO., Md. - It's a habit for 45 million Americans, and the leading cause of preventable death: smoking.And in Wicomico county, the rate of adults who do it is alarmingly high."I guess I'm addicted to having a cigarette in my hand all the time," Brock Brooks said. He's just one of 17,000 adult smokers in Wicomico County. That's enough to fill the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center nearly three times. "Here in Wicomico County we have about 22 percent of adult smokers, where the state is 15 percent," said Jennifer Johnson with the Wicomico County Health Department.That makes Maryland the eleventh highest state among smoking adults. But the question remains: why?"With the economy or whatever stressors you have on you, that's what the go-to is, and why they rely on it," Johnson said. "It's hard to give that up."There are smoking alternatives, but only 1.5 percent of adults in the county use smokeless tobacco. And some vendors in the Salisbury area tell us electronic cigarettes are gaining popularity with college students. "They're made by tobacco companies so they want to continue to make money," Johnson said. "They're trying to keep people addicted in buildings until they can go outside and have a regular cigarette."Contrary to what some might think, the e-cigarette is less of a quitting tool and more of a smoking supplement. So if you're looking for real help to kick the habit, Johnson says many of the traditional nicotine aids for quitting - like gum and patches - are helpful, but there's a key component needed to keep from relapsing."The big, main thing though is they need counseling with it. I think people are afraid of getting help, but you need that positive support of other people that have gone through it," she said. It can be done, but it really does take time."If you'd like to quit smoking and are interested in the programs offered by the health department, you can contact their office at (410) 334-3480.

In a game that featured one team that has the talent to get it but doesn't quite yet, and a team that gets it but is hanging on through aging and injuries, the Boston Celtics, behind a key dunk by Kevin Garnett and a dominant performance from Paul Pierce, took out the young and immature Washington Wizards 100-94 Sunday afternoon.
The Celtics, playing without Rajon Rondo and with only 11 minutes of Ray Allen, got behind their ace, Pierce, and the veteran did not let the team down. Pierce was an offensive tour de force, scoring 34 points on 15 shots, grabbing eight rebounds and also delivering 10 assists. It was the first such game (30+ pts, 8+ rebounds, 10+ assists) from Pierce since his triple-double against Philadelphia in 2006.
It didn't matter who had the check on Pierce for Washington, Pierce simply found ways to get the ball, get to his spots and the free throw line, where he scored 12 of his points (12-15). As such, it allowed Boston to dictate pace, which helped in hiding the impact of losing Rondo and Allen. Also helping Boston's control of pace was Washington's lack of defensive pressure, rarely doing anything aggressive to deny what Boston wanted to do offensively.
Allen was injured in the first half when Wizards rookie Jan Vesely took him out by showing hard defensively on a Celtics pick and roll, knocking Allen down to the ground. Allen persevered, but when it happened again on a Vesely screen on the Wizards' offensive end, Allen had to go to the locker room and wouldn't return to play.
The Wizards were close through this game, the lead changing hands 11 times, and would have success and then suddenly go away from it, be it attacking the rim or going inside to the post, especially late in the game when JaVale McGee was matched up on Jermaine O'Neal.
John Wall was successful, shooting nine out of 18 from the field and a perfect nine for nine from the free throw line, resulting in a team-high 27 points. Wall also had a season high 10 rebounds and seven assists and often demonstrated the origins of a strong team leadership throughout his 42 minutes on the floor, both good and bad.
The good saw Wall being aggressive and attacking, but the bad involved the high passion and emotion that Wall brings to the court. When he is on the attack, the team can really feed from it, but when he gets frustrated, which he did on a few occasions, the team tends to follow suit. Against the Celtics, Wall got frustrated at calls he didn't get when attacking and also at his own teammates when they would miss a pass or blow a defensive assignment.
No more obvious example occurred with a little more than two minutes left in the game and the Wizards down three. With Washington desperately wanting a stop, the Celtics worked the ball around until it got into the hands of Kevin Garnett with five seconds left on the clock and Garnett about 16 feet from the basket. Ever savvy, Garnett got both Wall and Trevor Booker to go for a pump fake and then drove to the hoop, with only Andray Blatche potentially stopping him from stretching the lead to five.
As Garnett drove the entirety of the lane, Blatche appeared to think about fouling or getting in the way of Garnett, but he elected to let Garnett go and give up the two points. Wall was clearly not happy with the play and his emotions translated to the rest of the team's body language as well.
Then, with 12 seconds left and Washington back to within four points, Wall extended his arms in dismay when did not get what he thought was a foul called on his missed shot attempt. When McGee failed to get the offensive rebound, it was McGee's turn to be disappointed which led to the Wizards not immediately fouling for until another three seconds when Jordan Crawford finally fouled. If Wall could maintain his composure, the example could have an impact over plays such as this and help the team grow as a whole in this area.
Mike Prada on Bullets Forever is not buying any moral victories in the closeness of the contest:
It's really tempting to be happy with the Wizards' effort, but this was a game they should have won. They let Boston enforce its will on the game and then made really bad decisions late.
Over in the winner's circle, CelticsBlog's Jeff Clark summarizes the game in simple terms:
Well, it wasn't always pretty, but a W looks lovely to me. It was also relieving to see Paul Pierce look like The Truth again.

First my hair was washed, then my mom would set it all in pin curls close to my head. Next the bonnet dryer treatment - I think my ears still have burn marks.

Ortignano Raggiolo House Rental Photos and Description
Holiday homes Borgo Antico are located in the medieval village of Raggiolo, 50 km east of Florence and 30 km north of Arezzo. The authentic village, with an altitude of 750 meter, lies halfway the 1500 meter high mountain Pratomagno in nature reserve Foreste Casentinesi. The mostly car free centre is full of atmospheric squares and small alleys that, because of the height differences, offer beautiful views on the valley Casentino. In this untouched mountain area are many authentic villages like La Verna, Camaldoli, Poppi and San Benedetto in Alpe. In the last starts a 2,5 hour long hiking route which leads to the famous waterfalls of Acquacheta. Next to the possibility to go for great walks through ancient forests, also a visit to art cities like Florence and Arezzo is easy to make. Holiday homes Borgo Antico are completely renovated to comfortable houses, provided with modern facilities but with maintaining the original Tuscan atmosphere. This ancient village is ideal for people who are looking for peace and quiet. Cars are not allowed, need to be left at the entrance of the park. 800 meter from holiday homes Borgo Antico guests can enjoy the shared, fenced swimming pool (open from 28 April till 29 September).

(Promoted by Colorado Pols)
The No. 1 goal of the Affordable Care Act is to make sure that more Americans have health insurance.
How's that working out?
We learned recently that, nationally, the uninsured rate has dropped from a high of 18 percent in 2013 to 13.4 percent as of June, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.
And the same survey has numbers for Colorado: In 2013, 17 percent of residents had no insurance. A year later, after the start of the ACA, the number is down to 11 percent. Colorado ranks fifth among all states in reducing the size of its uninsured population.
Colorado's success didn't happen by accident, and it stands in stark contrast to states that have not pursued reforms, either on their own or though the ACA.
In Colorado, it took foresight and cooperation among lawmakers, policy-makers, administrators and other stakeholders. When the ACA came along in 2010, Colorado had already taken many important steps to reform health insurance and access to health care.

An Interview about Aperture Plug-ins
by Bakari Chavanu
Software Entrepreneur, Aaron Morse, out of Anchorage, Alaska, recently posted in the the Flickr.com Aperture group (which I frequent on a regular basis) a request for the types of plug-ins Aperture users would like to make their life easier. As you might imagine he got a significant list of responses, ranging from a plug-in to "easily export a set of images in pre-determined sizes within separate folders," to a popular request for a plug-in that would integrate with Noise Ninja, a digital noise reduction application.
Aaron is partner in a Seattle-based company called Übermind which has already developed three plug-ins including the ApertureToGallery plug-in which integrates with Gallery the popular open-source photo album. Their other two plug-ins are ApertureToFTP Pro, which automates the process of uploading photos from Aperture to a remote FTP server, and ApertureToFileMaker, which also automates the process of getting photos from Aperture into the data management and processing software, FileMaker.
And as this article is being written, Ubermind has just announced the release of their newest plug-in, Aperture to Picasa Web Albums, an export plug-in that automates the process of getting photos from Aperture into Google's Picasa Web Albums.
So in line with the World Wide Developer Conference last week, and the recent post about Aperture Plugged-In 2.0 by Micah Walter, I thought I'd fire off a few questions to Aaron about plug-in development for Aperture.
I thank Aaron for taking the time to respond to my questions.
1. Plug-ins seem to be a great way to expand a software application for particular needs of users. So could you explain the possibilities and limitations of developing plug-ins for Aperture? What are there certain parameters you have to work within?
We think plug-in architectures are a great way to build a software ecosystem. And, plug-ins also allow systems to evolve more quickly and maybe in unanticipated ways. The current plug-in API in Aperture is primarily intended to be used to export images out of the system. This opens a lot of doors, but at the same time it seems that many users would like an enhanced API that could support additional filters and tools within the system. For example, in responses to our inquiry on Flickr, several users requested a plug-in for Noise Ninja to provide enhanced noise reduction. Right now this type of plug-in is not feasible.
2. Most photographers are always looking for ways to make their post-production workflow easier and more efficient. What plug-in ideas do you have for Aperture that you think will help photographers in our post-production process?
It seems like enhanced integrations with printing services, web portals, network storage systems, and transfer systems could all be useful. We are exploring all of these areas.
3. One Flickr.com Aperture Users group member requested an export plug-in that "feeds a Photoshop action," whereby, as he says, an Aperture user "could click Export to Photoshop Action from Aperture, have Photoshop load the image, process it with the chosen action, and save the result with whatever quality settings to whichever folder." Do you see this as possible? If so, why or why not.
With an enhanced plug-in API, this sort of thing will absolutely be possible.
4. Can you talk about the plug-ins you're currently working for Aperture and when they might be released?
Here is a teaser.
We expect to release several plug-ins over the next two quarters.
5. Finally, what changes are you looking forward to in Aperture that will help you more as a developer for the program?
Apple already offers a stellar development environment with Xcode and Cocoa. And we think that the possibilities of the existing API have not been fully explored. An extended plug-in API that is intended for image modification, within the system, would expand the options available to plug-in developers.

I think it's quite likely that Apple adds a plug-in API for image adjustments in Aperture 2.0. I personally would love to be access Noise Ninja (awesome program, by the way!) right in Aperture, preferable with non-destructive filtering like native Aperture adjustments.

There are a lot of applications which I would love to see as a Plug-In to Aperture. I like that Aperture works losslessly on my RAW files and I don't wish to export my pictures to other Apps - and even less as JPEGs (think of loss in Quality) or as TIFFs (too much big space).

|Yes, it would be really sweet if Aperture 2.0 included an API for image enhancement. I too would like to see Noise Ninja integrated along with tools like DXO Optics. Please, Please Apple! I am waiting anxiously for apple to release Aperture 2.0 with lots of new cool features but am afraid that we might have to wait until after the release of Leopard as it is probably heavily tied to the new OS. Boy are things really slow at Apple this year!

It would be great if one could delevop an export plug-in for pixelpost (http://www.pixelpost.org) as well ;-)
