A Sense of Oneness: The Life and Art of Bernard Langlais
Thursday, September 18, 2014, Portland Public Library, Rines Auditorium
FREE and open to the public
5:00 p.m. Sponsor Tables
6:00 p.m. Lecture
Lecture by Hannah W. Blunt, Langlais Curator for Special Projects, Colby College Museum of Art
Portland Public Art Committee is pleased to commemorate the acquisition of several works by Maine artist Bernard Langlais including sculptures, wood reliefs, abstract works, and bird houses gifted to the City of Portland from the Kohler Foundation.
Artist Bernard Langlais said of his native Maine, "I feel a sense of oneness with the state." While he forged his early career in Europe and New York City, successfully exhibiting paintings and abstract reliefs, his rustic sensibilities and desire to work on a larger scale brought him back to Maine in the late 1960s. In the last eleven years of his life, he created a lively art environment on his property in Cushing, comprising more than 100 outdoor pieces. In her lecture, Blunt will trace the remarkable evolution of Langlais's work and career, detailing the artist's search for deep connections to his environment, and his passionate reconciliation of art and place.
The lecture is being presented by Hannah W. Blunt, Langlais Curator for Special Projects at the Colby College Museum of Art. Ms. Blunt holds an M.A. in Art History from Boston University and a B.A. from Davidson College, and previously served as a research assistant at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Harvard Art Museums. She is currently preparing for a retrospective exhibition, opening July 19, 2014, of the artist Bernard Langlais, whose Maine-coast home she occupied from 2010-12. Blunt has overseen several recent exhibitions at Colby, including The Lunder Collection: A Gift of Art to Colby College, American Weathervanes from a Distinguished Maine Collection, Masterpieces of American Folk Art, and Bernard Langlais: Abstractions and Reliefs. She has contributed to a number of publications, including The Lunder Collection: A Gift of Art to Colby College, Art at Colby, Folk Art in Maine: Uncommon Treasures, and American Paintings at Harvard.

In other words, it's the system in which a lot of blogs and websites are built with (more than 22%, in fact).
Maine College of Art has the privilege to host the first WordCamp Maine! Coming up August 15-17, MECA will host a series of speakers and workshops for the event. Don't miss it!

Illustration Professor and Department Chair Scott Nash published his first political cartoon for the non-profit liberal advocacy organization Common Cause. For this particular piece, which can be seen above, Nash worked with Common Cause Vice President for Policy and Litigation, Arn Pearson. The original post (found here) is accompanied with the description "It's time for a political system that supports voter's speech, not just big donor's speech."

"Living in Maine, I am continually inspired by the abundance of shapes, colors and light along the beautiful ever changing beaches and marshes of the seacoast and rural areas," MECA alum Colleen Forde tells the SeacoastOnline. "The natural beauty available here is one of the primary reasons I have made this place my home."
It was this love of Maine and its scenery that lead her to the Maine College of Art in 1994 and eventually to the creation of her latest exhibit "The Color of Light," a collection that explores the Maine beaches, marshes, and rural areas. This show is on view at the gallery space at The Clown through Aug. 11.

In addition, on behalf of MECA alumnus Renée Bouchard, the Maine College of Art Scholarship Fund will receive proceeds from the Art of Giving Gala.
Tickets to the gala are $100 per person and include the opportunity to leave the event with one of six original pieces created by six different Maine artists: Angela Adams, Eric Hopkins, Alex Katz, Barbara Ernst Prey and William Wegman, in addition to MECA alum Renée Bouchard, in commemoration of Down East's 60th anniversary.

"We are honored to have been selected for this generous gift on behalf of MECA alumnus Renée Bouchard. The funds will be used to support the next generation of artists."
Kathleen Fleury, editor in chief of Down East, talked about the Art of Giving Gala, "We are grateful to have six celebrated Maine artists honor the magazine's 60th anniversary in this way. It's an even greater thrill to know that each artist has connected even further with Maine's community by identifying charitable partners that resonate with them individually. This is one of the things that makes Maine an incredible place to live and work."
Renée Bouchard lives and works in Bennington, Vermont. She graduated from the Maine College of Art in 1999 and attended the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Phoebe Flory Watercolor School prior to that. Bouchard has received awards and honors from the Vermont Arts Council, the Vermont Studio Center, Cooper Union, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the Montana Artist Refuge and from the Kate Millet Art Colony for Women. McDaris Fine Art in Hudson, New York, and Moberg Gallery in Des Moines and Chicago currently represent her work.

How to Make Coffee Using a Coffee Dripper
Using a coffee dripper to brew your coffee is a technique that allows more extraction of flavour for consumers. Coffee drippers are a funnel like shape that filters the coffee grounds as the water gets poured. They are the perfect tool for making only a cup full of coffee and allows you to notice the fine details of the brewing process. 1) Boil approximately two cups of water in a kettle or on the stove. Once the water is boiled, let it sit briefly allowing the water temperature to reach just under boil. 2) Place the dripper over a mug or if you have our Kinto Coffee Dripper and Pot, place it over the carafe. 3) If...
How to Tell if Your Tea Has Gone Bad
Your senses are generally the most reliable tool to determine if your tea has gone bad. You can tell your tea has gone bad when you can no longer smell the pleasant aroma of the leaves. When your tea has gone bad it means that the natural oils in the leaves have dissipated over time and therefore have become flavorless. If you feel as though your tea still has a little bit of aroma left in it, you can use more bags or add more leaves to make a fresh pot. For more tips click here.

Depending on how fast your subject is moving and how far away it is, you could pan with a shutter speed as fast as 1/100 or as slow as 1/4. I usually like to start at 1/60 and work from there. Be careful about going too slow with the shutter speed. Depending on your lens length, you could start to get camera shake blur on top of your pan motion blur below about 1/30. A clear subject is the result of a steady hand or a tripod with a pan-tilt head. These tripods come with either a two-way or three-way tilting head and allow for the user to control one axis without affecting the others. In this case, you would want to lock all axes except the panoramic rotating one that gives you a smooth, steady view.
Good pan photography also depends on the quality of the background. The best backgrounds for pan photography have nice colors, a lot of details to blur, and allow the focus to stay on your subject. You can adjust your shutter speed to include more or less background detail—the faster the speed, the more detail your background will have.
Make sure to balance the light in the composition. Generally, the light that your subject is in should be the same as the background, but mixing the light in your frame can make some excellent compositions if you know what to look for. For example, you can place your subject in full-sun while the background is in dark shadow—creating even more of a focus on your subject.
The ideal time of day to shoot pan photos is during the magic hour—that's the time just before sunset or after sunrise. During this time, the light will be diffused and warm—great for slower shutter speeds. If you are shooting in mid-day sun, you may be limited by how small you can set your aperture. The Sony Cybershot, for example, can only go to f14 in full-zoom. Stick to the shade or wait for low light if you are limited to a fast shutter speed.
Be patient and good luck!
Pan photography is just as much luck as it is skill. Be patient. Once you get the right settings and background, wait for an interesting subject to come along and snap away. Link to your pan-motion photos in the comments!

Don't blame me for flight delays, FAA chief tells Congress, you forced furloughs
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
As sequester-caused flight delays continue to frustrate travelers, Republicans and Democrats continue to blame each other for the problem.
Today, Republicans went after Michael Huerta, who heads the Federal Aviation Administration. Huerta was on Capitol Hill to testify about the FAA's budget request for next year. Most of the focus was on his decision to furlough the FAA's 47,000 employees, including air traffic controllers, for one day a week in order to slash his agency's budget this year by $630 million, the amount demanded by sequestration.
These furloughs went into effect Sunday, with a predictable result: Airplanes can't take off and land as quickly at major airports when there are fewer air traffic controllers to handle the traffic.
Hal Rogers, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, accused Huerta of not warning Congress that these furlough-caused flight delays were coming. If Congress only had known, maybe it could have found a way to avoid this problem, Rogers said.
"How come you didn't tell us about this beforehand?" Rogers asked Huerta.
"We've been talking about this since February," Huerta replied.
Maybe Rogers just wasn't paying attention. The FAA sent a letter to aviation associations Feb. 22 telling them that it would have no choice but to furlough air traffic controllers if sequestration went into effect. On that same day, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood guest starred at the daily White House press briefing, where he predicted flight delays of 90 minutes or more would occur if sequestration went into effect.
Despite these and other warnings of sequestration's negative effects, Congress and President Barack Obama failed to reach an agreement to stop these across-the-board spending cuts from kicking in March 1. Furloughs take time to implement, so sequestration didn't have much of an immediate impact. Now the public is starting to see its effects, and members of Congress have shifted into full "Don't blame me" mode.
Rogers, for example, accused the Obama administration of having an "imperial attitude" for failing to work with Congress on alternatives to laying off air traffic controllers.
"To turn around and try to blame the difficulties in flying on the Congress, having not informed us on what you planned to do, is unacceptable," Rogers told Huerta.
The FAA administrator said he "had no choice" but to furlough agency employees. Congress exempted airport grants from sequestration, so the FAA had to make most of its spending cuts in operations. The agency has slashed spending on contracts, information technology, travel and other non-payroll expenses, but 70 percent of its operations budget goes to pay. That's why furloughs couldn't be avoided, Huerta said.
There'll be increasing pressure on Congress to find an alternative to sequestration as flight delays continue, and Americans start feeling other effects of these across-the-board cuts. But it will take bipartisan cooperation to find a more sensible way to reduce federal deficits, and Congress and Obama aren't there yet.

Somali presidential palace 'under attack by Al-Shabaab'
The Somali presidential palace is under attack by Al-Shabaab militants, a spokesman for the terror group said.
"The militants have partly entered the presidential palace compound. There is periodic gunfire now," an official in the presidential palace who asked not to be named told Reuters. "I understand most attackers have been killed. No further details."
Al Shabaab confirmed they were involved. In a statement they said: "We have entered the so-called presidential palace. We have now captured some parts of the palace and fighting is still going on."

Grandmasters of Funk & Kid Destroy - Live (Cassette, 198?)
Completely skull shattering old school dub of the legendary Germantown, Philadelphia crew Grandmasters of Funk - Cosmic Kev, Parry P, Gary O and Grand Tone - rocking with graffiti writer Estro aka Kid Destroy. According to Jazzy Jeff Estro "would play parties using three Roland 808 drum machines, two Roland 303′s providing the bass lines, a Speak 'n' Spell to provide some lyrics and a Merlin," some or all of which is presumably what's causing the whole distorto cacophony going on here. Click through for part 2.
(Fun fact the late Grand Tone had a daughter and she grew to become the greatest American radio DJ of today, Diamond Kuts.)

Reds Send 30 Staffers To MLB All-Star Game In Preparation For Hosting '15 Event
Published July 15, 2014
BEER HERE: THE STREET's Jason Notte noted fans at tonight's MLB All-Star game are "going to be able to dispense their own beer" through newly installed Draftserv machines at Target Field. Notte wrote he is sure both Delaware North and Anheuser Busch "view self-serve beer machines as a great leap forward, but anyone who's ever stood behind a tap at a sporting event or run the token booth at a beer festival knows that even with limits in place, it's tough to keep everyone clear and functional." A self-serve system "doesn't help that at all and can only do more harm to baseball's longstanding relationship with beer than it does good." The All-Star Game crowd "may handle it just fine, but a self-service procedure only needs one bad midsummer night to go horribly wrong" (THESTREET.com, 7/12). CBS Sports Network's Jim Rome called the Draftserv machines "one of the worst ideas I've ever heard." He noted fans can pour "up to -- get this -- 48 ounces every 15 minutes." Rome: "This is supposed to be a convenience? It sounds more like a challenge to see how many ounces you can serve yourself in nine innings. ... I like that modern MLB parks are looking for innovation, I just wish that it wasn't about inebriation" ("Rome," CBSSN, 7/7). In Boston, Kevin Paul Dupont wrote, "I imagine a pour-your-own machine at a ballpark will surprise most Americans. At least for a little while. We still have our quirks about alcohol throughout the 50 states" (BOSTON GLOBE, 7/13). In Orlando, Jerry Greene writes under the header, "MLB Lets Fans Serve Themselves All-Star Booze. What Could Go Wrong?" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 7/13).

The Question, Translation of Carlos Bousono's Poem: La Cuestion
« …Oh! God, Oh! Centre »*
for Vicente Puchol
(* Note by the editor, Alejandro D. Amusco, attesting that the above quotation was not included in Bousono's Antologia poética,1976, and on the « mysterious Centre » on which the poem is a cogitation. T. Wignesan)
Yes, we know it: would you like to find the secret precinct,
the invulnerable enclosed sanctum,
to enter through any hole into the incredible spectacle,
to penetrate the labyrinth and find the powerful Centre.
As if a thief could rob the totality of light
to find, as I say, the powerful Centre, the absolute Centre,
the immobile Centre of the tempest which moves by itself,
a Centre where nothing is found to budge,
where everything is absorbed into itself, like love, containing
itself in itself,
not on its periphery, but fully wrapped in its contents,
overflowing like the apparition of a card in the suit of Spanish cards,
like an enormous cup of manifestation which augments,
like a wave which continues to mount higher and higher and beyond
its highest limits,
farther yet than possibility's horizons;
and keeps growing afterwards, going on for days, and the spectacle of its extermination – the hideous knowledge and the joy of recognising its loss;
and which continues growing for an immemorial duration in the
direction of its own centre: terrible,
like a persistent cascade pouring down its interior, a flooding within
the experience of feeling well in one's being,
an existential waterfall without end which retracts - having stopped
flowing – inwards into its own Centre.
Ai! The crucial question is therefore to enter the labyrinth,
The big question comes down to making the move.
Be warned that it is only an act of penetration,
a simple act of transfer; it would suffice to make a gesture with an
idea that brings joy,
perchance it might suffice just to find water in the barn
or a path in the woods, or in the woods
to fall upon an exit
through the hole (where we came in) , to proffer with the key to the
the solution of the charade,
and discover the other side of the abysm, the reversal of the plot,
before the roof deteriorates
under probing fingers…

TUESDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Tai chi may improve quality of life, exercise self-efficacy, and mood in people with chronic systolic heart failure, according to research published in the April 26 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Gloria Y. Yeh, M.D., M.P.H., of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Brookline, Mass., and colleagues randomized 100 patients with systolic heart failure to a 12-week group-based tai chi exercise program or education to evaluate the effect of tai chi -- as an adjunct to standard care -- on functional capacity and quality of life in heart failure patients.
The researchers found no significant differences between the two groups in change in six-minute walk distance and peak oxygen uptake. Patients in the tai chi group did, however, experience greater improvements in quality of life than patients in the education group. The tai chi group also experienced significant improvements in exercise self-efficacy and mood.
"In conclusion, tai chi exercise, a multicomponent mind-body training modality that is safe and has good rates of adherence, may provide value in improving daily exercise, quality of life, self-efficacy, and mood in frail, deconditioned patients with systolic heart failure. A more restricted focus on traditional measured exercise capacity may underestimate the potential benefits of integrated interventions such as tai chi," the authors write.

These were my 5 year anniversary gift and I couldn't be happier. The quality is fantastic and I love that each diamond came with it's own GIA report as well as an appraisal for much more than I paid! I've already gotten a few compliments on these earrings, and I love that whether I'm dressed up or down they go with everything. Classic piece for every woman's jewelry box!
emily, chardon, OH – June 2014
I spent a lot of time researching and finally decided on purchasing from Blue Nile because of the amount of information they provided. I dealt with customer service and they were exceptional in helping me track down the shipment in a snow storm. At first the earrings looked small in the box but once my wife put them on they looked great and not small at all.

It's a bit of an odd question to ask, I guess, but seeing as any typical comment in a SEGA-related article is basically 'SEGA lolz', I wanted to know your thoughts on the company, what they've done and how they are now. Personally, they're my favourite video gaming company; yes, they've made a lot of mistakes (I could make a laundry list of what they did wrong with the SEGA Saturn) and yes, they really should be paying attention to their other franchises (I will wait 'till Third Impact if I have to just to get [i]Jet Set Radio 3[/i]) but honestly, there's something about their games that always puts a big grin on my face. Whether it's the generally positive tone of what they make, the variety of gameplay styles or the sheer unabashed camp of some games ([i]Sonic Heroes[/i] & [i]Space Channel 5[/i], anyone?), I just prefer SEGA over most other video game companies. Well, that's my thoughts so tell me what you think of the company, and be completely, brutally honest if you have to. I'm just curious to see what you guys say. If you comment, thanks very much and have a good day!

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:249962Hideo Kojima, if you want to stop doing Metal Gear Solid, then stop doing it!2013-03-29T08:26:21Z2013-03-29T08:26:21Z[img]http://www.destructoid.com//ul/user/1/115189-249962-MetalGearSolid5ThePhantomPainjpg-620x.jpg[/img] Only a few short days ago, to the excitement of millions of gamers, Hideo Kojima finally announced [i]Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain[/i] (yay, semi-pretentious names!) for the PS3 and 360. The previously announced [i]Ground Zeroes[/i] and [i]Phantom Pain[/i] projects were announced to be part of the same game and now, everyone's anticipating the release of what will probably be a great old stealth game with tons of cutscenes and sh...I can't keep going with this. I'll get straight to the point on this one; I'm tired of Mr Kojima working on Metal Gear. I'm sorry if this annoys you but I'm tired of seeing this one guy being forced in some manner to work on a series that he's clearly tired of. I don't know if it's the fans that pressure him, if it's Konami or if Kojima himself has that kind of OCD where he has to keep telling stories even when no-one wants them, along the lines of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compilation_of_Final_Fantasy_VII]Compilation of Final Fantasy VII[/url], but I just want the man to go by his word; if you want to stop doing Metal Gear, Kojima, then [b]stop f*$%ing doing it![/b] While I'm not a fan of the Metal Gear series in any manner, I am interested in it enough to care about what goes on around in making these games, and particularly the creative and insane mind of Kojima. The point is, I want to see the man work on other projects that aren't Metal Gear; sure, maybe things'll go wrong if he's not at the helm but at least he wouldn't have to keep working on a series that he's more than likely burnt out on. Try put yourself in his shoes for even a minute; imagine working on the same franchise for over 25 years and not being able to work on anything else for one reason or another. How tired and sick of that franchise would you be by now if you had to go through all that? And as Jim Sterling once pointed out in an [url=http://www.gamefront.com/hideo-kojima-just-stop-doing-metal-gear-solid/]article on GameFront[/url], [i]Guns of the Patriots[/i] was a near-perfect analogy of how Kojima was feeling at that time. A man weary and tired of the same work he's been doing for so long and just wants to end it all. While the aforementioned article put it a lot better than what I just said, it's the same point that Kojima wants to stop doing Metal Gear, especially since [i]Guns of the Patriots[/i] is widely considered to be the fitting end to Metal Gear, and as such could be a fitting end to Kojima's tenure. However, that's not the case as he once again plans to basically make MGS5 all by himself and while the game itself may be good, what it stands for and why it's even being made after the conclusion in [i]Guns of the Patriots[/i] just feels...wrong. Hopefully, this'll be the very last MGS-related thing Kojima supervises and finally, he'll be able to let this whole thing go once and for all. If Snake can finally live out the rest of his days in peace after all he's done, surely Kojima should be able to do the same...right?

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:247161Is video gaming headed for a second gaming crash?2013-02-27T10:53:48Z2013-02-27T10:53:48ZThis seems to be one of those weird days. You know, one of those days where all you do is laze about while listening to depressing music; not because of angst, depression or something like that but because you're so worried about something bad happening that when it seems likely, your spirit is partially crushed for a while. Alright, the reason I bring this up is because I'm feeling pretty down while looking up several ideas presented in the gaming industry over the last few months, and in particular [url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/6905-New-Generation-Old-Bullsh-t]the latest Jimquisition[/url] on Escapist. It's a well done video by good lord, is it depressing! The point I'm making is because I want to know your answer to an important question: [b]Is the video gaming industry headed for a second crash?[/b] If you asked me this question over a year ago, I would've confidently said that it wouldn't happen as the circumstances to me weren't the same as they were 30 years ago. However, due to many recent depressing developments in publisher schemes to get money, development team forclosures and all sorts of things that I've read up over the last several months, I don't really know anymore. And honestly, I'm really scared. I don't want another crash to happen; I don't think anyone wants to go through a crash again. But I just wanna know your opinions on the matter and what you think will happen to the industry: Will the industry crash on a scale even worse than the original crash over 30 years ago? Will things turn out okay? If there is a crash, will the industry live on in spite of it?tag:destructoid.com,2008:235078Bayonetta 2,internet rage and the redundancy of console exclusitivity2012-09-15T14:05:20Z2012-09-15T14:05:20Z[img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/115189-235078-Crash282jpeg-620x.jpg[/img] Just a couple of days ago,the long-anticipated [i]Bayonetta 2[/i] was announced to be saved from cancellation by Platinum Games and is back in development.Of course,the fandom rejoiced.......until it was revealed the game was a Wii U exclusive.Oh dear.As is the natural order with things these days,a lot of people freaked out and since an article was posted on Destructoid today [url=http://www.destructoid.com/-fans-of-bayonetta-to-kill-themselves-over-wii-u-sequel-234997.phtml]reporting the negative comments[/url],people are debating about gamer entitlement again.Since I usually go against those who complain about things pre-release,you'd think I'd be telling these complainers to shut up but to tell you the truth,I understand why they're annoyed to begin with. Let me start off by saying that I freaking love [i]Bayonetta[/i];it's a damn good action game,the homages to old SEGA games are brilliant and it introduced me to the greatest song in the world (I'm probably the only anime fan on the interwebs who was introduced to 'Fly me to the Moon' by methods other than [i]Neon Genesis Evangelion[/i]).So,when the sequel was announced,I was glad as all hell but when I saw the exclusive banner,I just ended up annoyed. The reason for this isn't because I hate Nintendo (as theorized by many people as of late) but really because a large portion of the fanbase,me included, is forced to miss out on the sequel until they go out and buy a new console that they have no interest in and then the game possibly goes multi-format some time later. The best example I can think of in this case is [i]Tales of Vesperia[/i],particularly in Japan.The game was originally a 360 exclusive,forcing many Tales fans in Japan to buy a console they had no interested in to get a game they wanted to play.A year later,the game was put on the PS3 and many fans got pissed by the dickery involved in this.I can imagine the same thing happening to [i]Bayonetta 2[/i] should the game get ported over to the 360 and PS3 eventually,thus pulling off a dick move on fans worse than the original's QTEs. Let me explain why I'm really annoyed at this.I'm generally not interested in the Wii U.Will it be a good console? Well,probably since the new ideas look good and Nintendo have a reputation for making good games.However,there have been several games announced for the Wii U that are exclusive even though they could work on other consoles.Not the first-party games but thrid-party titles like [i]Rayman Legends,LEGO City Undercover[/i] and more that aren't available on other consoles. It's annoying as these games are exclusives on a new console that costs [url=http://www.destructoid.com/wii-u-launching-on-december-8-2012-in-japan-335-400-234905.phtml]between $300 and $400[/url] and no-one knows if the console's going to be successful,meaning the publisher might lose out sales-wise (why UbiSoft is doing this to [i]Legends[/i] after [i]Origins'[/i] multi-format 50,000 sales altogether is particularly baffling) and people who can't afford a new console are missing out on good games.It doesn't matter to me which console the game's on;if it's exclusive,it's just frustrating to fans who don't have every console known to man. [i]Bayonetta 2[/i] was simply the last straw for me and while I don't disown the game or Platinum Games,I do think that the idea of console exclusitivity is incredibly redundant in this current financial climate.And I think that this may have been the big reason why there was such a mass freak-out from [i]Bayonetta fans[/i] as they felt the same way about all these good-looking exclusives and this was the final,very last straw for a lot of them. That's not to say that there aren't a few people over-reacting by disowning the game or hating it because it's on a Nintendo;there are.However,I think most of this just comes out of frustration with a buggered system that requires people to buy every console to buy games that could easily be ported over to other consoles. [b][For those of you who will mention the Wii U's Gamepad features make it impossible to port games,the console also has a Pro Controller,which is essentially a Nintendo-developed Xbox 360 controller;they even said as much a while back][/b] Am I still interested in [i]Bayonetta 2[/i]? Definitely and I wish it and Platinum Games the best of luck when it comes out.Still,I wish I could play it on a console that I already had along with every other Bayonetta fan not rich enough to get an extra console and can understand the rage of those who feel let down by the pointless nonsense that is console exclusitivity.To those that are getting a Wii U,I hope you enjoy the hell out of it and tell me how things turn out. Now to listen to every version of Fly Me to the Moon for the rest of the afternoon!

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:234589Defending Silent Hill: Book of Memories2012-09-07T16:09:43Z2012-09-07T16:09:43Z[img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/115189-234589-Crash259X3jpg-620x.jpg[/img] Among the many things in the world that annoy me,one of the more......let's say vocal frustrations has to be the massive amounts of internet rage that any new game receives from angry fanboys pre-release.Seriously,it's like a yearly ritual nowadays for a random game to be screwed over by a very,very vocal minority of whiny,petulant fanboys that don't have their priorities straight before it even comes out. In 2008,we had the double team of [i]Diablo 3/Fallout 3[/i];the former for having a slightly brighter colour palette and the latter for not playing like the first 2 games.In 2009,there was [i]Left 4 Dead 2[/i],which apparently was announced way too soon instead of waiting an eternity for it.In 2010,we got [i]Sonic the Hedgehog 4[/i],a game that everyone demanded mind you,and yet people were complaining about everything from the physics to the fact that Sonic had green eyes. Then last year,we had [i]Skylanders:Spyro's Adventure[/i],which every Spyro fan under the sun seemed to get pissed off at for a billion reasons from Spyro's ''goblin-like'' redesign to the admittily awesome gimmick of putting toys on a Power Pad to play as certain characters.Of course,after the games are released,everyone forgets about them until another game takes up the mantle. And this year,that honor goes to [i]Silent Hill:Book of Memories[/i],the latest installment in the much-loved [i]Silent Hill[/i] survival horror franchise by Konami.For those who don't know what [i]Book of Memories[/i] is,it's an isometric dungeon crawler headed for the PS Vita and is being developed by the much-loved WayForward Technologies and since it's announcement,it's become the most bitched about game on the interwebs for various reasons,the biggest of all being that it isn't like [i]Silent Hill[/i]. Don't believe me? Look up any trailer of [i]Book of Memories[/i] on YouTube and look how many dislikes there are compared to dislikes and the huge number of comments damning the game.Seriously,there's even a Facebook group known as ''Cancel Book of Memories'',which is completely amateurish since it's logo.Seriously,who tries to look professional in MS Paint? [i](Come to think of it,I do)[/i] And since I hate it when something is hated so much that's it's barely given a chance,I've decided to once again defend this game from the stupidity of internet fanboy rage,even though I'm not a [i]Silent Hill[/i] fan.Firstly,there's the very obvious fact that the game isn't out yet.You can't just watch a couple of trailers and confirm that the game is shit.Gaming is an interactive medium,not a visual medium like movies or books;you have to actually play the game before you can yell at it. Secondly,it's a spin-off;Konami doesn't have to make the exact same game every single time and you know,I think it's refreshing that they're trying something different instead of re-hashing [i]Silent Hill 2[/i] again like with their last few games.Some of you will acknowledge this but feel that [i]Book of Memories[/i] doesn't have the spirit of the main games.Once again,you've seen just trailers and screenshots;wait 'till you've played the game before you accuse it of being unfaithful.In fact,the developers have stated in an interview that they're trying as hard as they possibly can to make the game faithful to the main series and to include themes from the much-loved original trilogy so don't be so quick to judge their intentions just because you've seen gameplay footage. And thirdly,just because you don't like the look of the game doesn't mean that other people feel the same.There are people who are genuinely looking forward to the game because it looks good and trying to cancel the game because it's not the same as before is so utterly childish that it comes off as something that feels surreal.Seriously,if you don't like the game then don't pay attention to it.If other people like it then pay no attention to them and just play the [i]Silent Hill[/i] games you like instead of getting pissed off over [b]something you have utterly no obligation to get involved with![/b] Plus,there's the fact that Konami really has nothing to lose at this point.The reputation of the series has been all but tarnished due to the negative reception of recent entries and the massive pile of incompetance that was the HD Collection,where Konami gave unfinished code to the people porting the games,forcing them with bugs that were dealt with years ago as well as the bugs that came about in the port.After all they've done,what possible harm could be done in trying something different? However,the issue that annoys me the most is the complete,utter,blantant hypocrisy of the gaming community when it comes to the issue of change and something new.Day in,day out,we hear about gamers constantly whinging about games like [i]Call of Duty[/i] or [i]New Super Mario Bros[/i] for being the exact same with each new game and shouting at publishers for playing it safe but when they try and do something new or different,be it a new,interesting gameplay idea,an all new artistic direction or whatever,something to make it disthinguishible from previous games,they are instantly shat on by the exact same gamers who moan about never changing just because something changed. To everyone who does this,shame on you for lacking the spine to actually stick by your word just because change affects your own beloved franchises as well as other franchises.I gurantee that most of the people whinging about [i]Book of Memories[/i] will buy it the minute it comes out anyway and it'll prove how pathetic this whole situation is. Am I going to buy the game when it comes out? Well,no since I don't have a PS Vita but from what I've seen it looks like a fun tribute to a much-loved franchise and since WayForward has had a reputation for making high-quality games no matter what they're making,there's a chance that [i]Book of Memories[/i] will get quite a fanbase so to all those looking forward to it,I hope you enjoy it.

 tag:destructoid.com,2008:2313983 reasons why I'm not buying the Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection!2012-07-14T15:10:50Z2012-07-14T15:10:50Z[img]http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/115189-231398-Crash331jpg-620x.jpg[/img] After years and years of DBZ fans all over the world asking for it,Namco Bandai have finally given in to demands and have announced the [i]Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection[/i] for release on the PS3 and 360 this upcoming winter.You'd think like everyone else,I'd be excited as all hell for it,right? Well,not really.It's not the fact that I own most of the [i]Budokai[/i] games (even the POS that is [i]Burst Limit[/i]) in case you're wondering but a few other things. Am I being an ungrateful bastard for complaining about this? Well,maybe but I never asked for a HD Collection to begin with so I don't think that matters.In any case,here are a few reasons why I'm not getting the [i]Budokai HD Collection[/i] (besides the fact I already own the games). [b]Reason 1:Where's Budokai 2?[/b] When a publisher decides to remaster a series of games from a certain console generation,it's common to include as many games as possible;usually 3 games are adapted if the games come from the PS2/Xbox/GC generation.However,that's not the case here as for some bizarre reason,[i]Budokai 2[/i] is completely skipped over and only 1 & 3 are remastered. Now I don't know what the majority of DBZ fans think of [i]Budokai 2[/i] but I'm sure that the game does have its fans so why not include it? Is it because the game didn't really have a story? If that's the case,then why is [i]Raging Blast 2[/i] still being sold,since that has no story to speak of? For whatever reason,we're simply not getting [i]Budokai 2[/i],which would be fine if they included another game as compensation like [i]Shin Budokai or Infinite World[/i] but we're not getting those games either. [b]Reason 2:Possibly no Kenji Yamamoto music![/b] For those of you not in the know,Kenji Yamamoto (not to be confused with the [i]Metroid[/i] composer of the same name) was the man who composed the music for many DBZ games over the years,including the [i]Budokai[/i] games,created various insert songs in the anime and eventually composed the score for [i]Dragon Ball Kai[/i].However in early 2011,Yamamoto was sacked by Toei due to claims of copyright infringment (basically some of the songs he made sounded very much like songs from [i]Avatar[/i] and [i]Terminator:Salvation[/i],among others). Becuase of this,Toei has tried to eliminate all traces of Yamamoto from their [i]Dragon Ball[/i] products such as replacing as his DBKai score with the original DBZ score by Shunsuke Kikuchi and replacing the music in newer copies of [i]Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2[/i] with music from [i]Budokai Tenkaichi 2[/i] (strange considering Yamamoto possibly composed BT2's music). What does this have to do with the HD Collection? Well,it's very likely that Namco Bandai is going to replace Yamamoto's score with new music.In fact there's already hints to this seeing as the announcement trailer had music that wasn't in any of the [i]Budokai games[/i].Like a lot of you DBZ fans,I grew up with the [i]Budokai[/i] games and I really enjoy their songs so to see them replaced with something else is well,really damn annoying.Yes,the new songs may be good but I'd rather not have the music replaced to begin with. [b]Reason 3:There's only one good game on the entire collection![/b] I'll be very honest here and say that [i]Budokai 1[/i] is an absolute chore to play through.Sure,the story is pretty well done but everything else isn't that interesting.In fact everything was improved by a thousand in [i]Budokai 3[/i] so why include a game that people are only going to play for novelty value? It would've made much more sense to include other well-loved DBZ games like [i]Budokai Tenkaichi 3[/i] and [i]Super DBZ[/i] instead of [i]Budokai 1[/i] and just call the collection [b]DBZ Mega Awesome Variety Collection SSJ5 Edition[/b].Or something infinitely less retarded than what I just suggested. So basically,Namco Bandai are giving us 2 PS2 games,only one of which is good by the way,with replaced music and no online play (I forgot to mention that too) for $60 when we could get those 2 games,in addition to the rest of the PS2 games,for far less with their original score intact and still have some money left over for other games.Thanks Bandai but you're going to need to do a lot better if you want to snatch my money.Now if you'll excuse me,I'm going to go listen to more EVA music for the rest of the afternoon and wait for Bandai to port [i]Naruto:Ultimate Ninja Storm 1[/i] to the 360 just to see what all the fuss is about.Good day and thanks for reading :)

SPRINGFIELD — Erik Maurer and his coaching staff aren't ones for long post-game speeches.
But after Tuesday's 63-51 state Division I semifinal loss to Westford Academy, they kept their Central High School girls basketball team in the locker room for some time.
"After a tough game like this, it's easy to look at it and be disappointed," Maurer said. "I just wanted them to be clear on how our message was that they were a fun group to coach. They worked hard every single day. They got better every day from where we were at the beginning of the year to where we are now.
"Sometimes that gets overlooked after a game like that. I didn't want them to leave here with that feeling. We don't ever really do it, but the coaches each had something to say."
The Golden Eagles (21-4) won their first Western Mass. title since 2007 and took first in the region's powerhouse Valley League.
"I told our girls that I'm extremely proud of them and that they need to be proud of everything they've accomplished," Maurer said. "It's never easy to end the season with a loss, but only one team really gets to leave as the champ."
But Tuesday was the Grey Ghosts' day. They scored the game's first eight points, led 22-13 at the end of the first quarter and 40-23 at halftime.
"I think there might have something where the intensity wasn't right where it needed to be (at the start of the game), but I also thought (Westford) is a tremendous basketball team," Westford said. "They shot the ball extremely well."
The Golden Eagles trailed 54-34 after the third quarter and cut the deficit to 11 with an 11-2 run, but that was as close as it got.
"Every time we tried to make a run at it, they had a kid who made a big shot," Maurer said. "We'd get it down to 11 and someone would hit a shot. They didn't miss free throws. It was an extremely impressive performance on their part."
Westford Academy advances to the state Division II title game, where it will play Braintree at the DCU Center in Worcester on Saturday at 5:45 p.m.
On Tuesday, Grey Ghost senior center Samantha Hyslip scored 17 points to lead the Grey Ghosts (22-4) in the post, while Hannah Hackley (15), Cathryn Sennott (12) and Rebecca Sennott (10) each reached double digits and combined for six 3-pointers.
As a team, Westford shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc in the first half.
"We knew they were a great shooting team," Maurer said. "We had to pick something that was going to be what we were going to take away, and we tried to limit their inside game. But part of it was that our intensity in closing out and recognizing where shooters where and communicating was a little slow in the beginning."
Senior Kendra Hicks led Central with a game-high 18 points, while freshman Alayah Sweeney added 13. Seniors Janea Bunn and Octavia McAllister added nine points each in the loss.
"They should be extremely proud," Maurer said. "The seniors, when they came in as freshmen, they had some struggles their freshman year. They've slowly progressed each season and by the end of the year, I really though Kendra and Janea were playing some of their best basketball together on the floor. It was really fun to watch their growth in the two years that I had them."
