North Korea Capable Of Crippling U.S. With Super-EMP Weapon?
"A furious North Korea threatened Thursday to attack America with nuclear weapons as punishment for perceived Western aggression – saber-rattling that came as the United Nations readied more sanctions against the Kim Jung-un's rogue regime.
An unnamed spokesman in Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry office said North Korea will launch "a preemptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors," The Associated Press reports.
The spokesman referred to Washington as being the aggressor in a nuclear attack on North Korea, AP states."
-The Washington Times, March 7, 2013
The last time I blogged about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear warfare capabilities was on January 27. From that post:
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has been doing a lot of saber-rattling since I last blogged about the Communist state last month. At that time, I asked:
So what kind of timeframe are we talking about here before North Korea has an ICBM capable of reaching and hitting the continental U.S.?
Based on expert opinion, it could just be 4 short years.
And how does America know North Korea's intentions are to target it with nuclear weapons? Ju-min Park and Choonsik Yoo reported on the Reuters' website last Thursday:
North Korea said on Thursday it would carry out further rocket launches and a nuclear test that would target the United States, dramatically stepping up its threats against a country it called its "sworn enemy"…
"We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are targeted at the United States," North Korea's National Defence Commission said, according to state news agency KCNA.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Park and Yoo added:
North Korea is not believed to have the technology to deliver a nuclear warhead capable of hitting the continental United States, although its December launch showed it had the capacity to deliver a rocket that could travel 10,000 km (6,200 miles), potentially putting San Francisco in range, according to an intelligence assessment by South Korea.
Now, the above discussion focused on a nuclear attack against the United States with intercontinental ballistic missiles as they're traditionally-intended to be used.
However, earlier this week I stumbled upon material which suggests North Korea may already have the capability to cripple America via unconventional nuclear warfare.
Enter Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards. Dr. Pry, a former intelligence officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, wrote on the Family Security Matters website on February 26:
The West consistently and unwittingly cooperates with North Korea and Iran by underestimating the advancement, sophistication, and strategic implications of their nuclear weapon and missile programs.
Despite North Korea's successful long-range missile test in December 2012, and now its third successful nuclear test on February 12, 2013, the Obama administration and the press keep reassuring the American people that North Korea is not yet a fully fledged nuclear weapons state – that a North Korean nuclear missile threat to the United States is still years in the future.
The facts do not support this judgment. North Korea is already a major nuclear threat to the United States–an existential threat.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Dr. Pry went on to say:
North Korea now appears to be armed with a FOBS capability to make a surprise nuclear attack against the United States–or against any and all nations on Earth–with Super-EMP.
FOBS? Super-EMP? The author of Apocalypse Unknown: The Struggle To Protect America From An Electromagnetic Pulse Catastrophe explained:
A Super-EMP warhead is a nuclear weapon specially designed to produce an enormous burst of gamma rays that generates an extraordinarily powerful electromagnetic pulse, capable of destroying even the best protected electronics, thereby paralyzing military forces and blacking out power grids and collapsing critical infrastructures everywhere–across an entire nation the size of the United States…
During the Cold War, the USSR experimented with a secret weapon, the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS), that used an ICBM like a Space Launch Vehicle to put a nuclear warhead into orbit, like a satellite. Instead of using the ICBM to lob the warhead on a more accurate arcing ballistic trajectory, flying along the shortest range to target, like an artillery shell, the FOBS lofted the warhead into a "fractional" or partial orbit, sacrificing accuracy for limitless range.
FOBS could reach any nation or threaten any target anywhere on Earth.
A Super-EMP warhead does not weigh much, and could probably be delivered by North Korea's Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, successfully tested in December 2012, against any nation on Earth. Thus, North Korea already possesses an ICBM and poses a mortal nuclear threat to the United States, and to all nations on Earth–right now.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Real disturbing stuff. Even more so now that the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday for tougher sanctions against North Korea.
You can read Dr. Pry's warning about the North Korean Super-EMP threat in its entirety on the Family Security Matters website here.

1 Comment to North Korea Capable Of Crippling U.S. With Super-EMP Weapon?
The big question is, can North Korea reach Washington? Would the missile ever make it here before it is shot down, or is the plan to do a car bomb, dirty bomb type of explosion. In other words, are they capable of carrying out what they say … because they have to know, they will only get one shot at it.

No one wants to cook every night even if they simply love the adventures of creating culinary delights! I tend to cook more dinners than not in an average week and, even though vegan cooking is a lot more fun for me than meat-centric cooking ever was, I appreciate a good short-cut like everyone else. To this end, I roamed the freezer section of my local Ralph's Fresh Fare Supermarket, where, to my surprise, I found a big choice ofGardein entrees. A dinner started materializing, not to mention that a blog was born. I chose 3 different 9-10 oz. packages that appealed to me:
• Lightly Seasoned Chick'n Scallopini
• Sweet & Tangy Barbecue Wings (plus sauce)
• Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers
Initially, I was drawn to the package design because it cleanly depicts the product in an attractive, savory way. With the calorie count (110-170), protein amount (14-16 grams), cholesterol (zero) and trans fat (zero) clearly displayed on the front in a big font, I didn't have to go searching for these stats on the back without my glasses on! Not only that, the package said how long it would take to prepare (5-10 minutes) right on the front which was very useful considering I was looking for the quickest and easiest way to eat vegan at home without messing up the whole kitchen (in my usual cooking style). All of these items are made from non-genetically engineered soybeans and wheat.

New managers put in place at two branches.
Ruppert Landscape has made several key hires to its management staff.
Tim Baskerville has returned to the company as branch manager for the North Carolina Landscape Construction Branch. Rick Whitman has accepted the position of operations manager for Ruppert Landscape's Maryland Landscape Construction Branch. Ruppert Landscape has 12 branches in a five state radius.
Baskerville has been in the landscape industry for more than 20 years, eight of which were with the former Ruppert Landscape Co. As branch manager, Baskerville will supervise the branch's landscape construction operations, including planning, budgeting, personnel development, systems control and maintaining customer relations.
"Tim not only brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with him, but also a familiarity with our company's values and culture that make him a perfect fit for our organization," said Bob Jones, vice president and director of landscape construction. "We are excited he has returned to Ruppert and look forward to the positive impact his expertise will have for years to come."
Whitman has been in the landscape construction industry more than 20 years, during which he has worked for one of the nation's larger landscape contractors as a chief estimator, business developer and vice president of operations. He has worked on projects such as the Wynn Las Vegas and Caesar's Palace. Whitman's responsibilities at Ruppert Landscape will include all aspects of production at the branch.
"Rick's experience in the landscape construction arena gives us a real advantage in the market," said Rich Schubach, branch manager for the Maryland Landscape Construction Branch. "We were looking for a combination of hardscape and landscape experience combined with key leadership traits to fill this position. We are happy to have found that combination in Rick and are looking forward to his contributions."
The company has made five acquisitions this year.

Exploring the Gulf's Underwater Mountains
It was an exciting day yesterday on the Latitude, as Dustin reports. We owe a hearty thank you to Nautica, who is making this leg of the expedition possible.
Saturday, September 11
The heat and humidity did not divert the Oceana crew from the important task at hand today.
After running a few more quick tests on the Spanish ROV, the crew sent it down for its first operation. Positioned near the "Alabama Alps," the ROV was lowered nearly 250 feet to the ocean floor.
As strong underwater currents tried to move the Oceana Latitude from the operation site, expedition leader Xavier Pastor worked closely with the ships' crew to ensure that all the necessary measures were taken to keep us on course.
Here's Xavier Pastor:
Xavier Pastor in Oceana Latitude ROV Control Room September 11, 2010 English from Oceana on Vimeo.
The biggest excitement came later in the afternoon. The ship was moved directly above the southern tip of the "Alabama Alps" and the ROV was once again carefully lowered.
Scientist-in-charge, Dr. Michael Hirshfield, worked quickly to identify the various species as the ROV footage was projected onto the TV monitors above. The small underwater mountain range was covered in black cup coral, and sea whips and zigzag corals were scattered across its landscape. The ROV also spotted a moray eel, bigeye and butterfly fish, and crinoids and basket stars.
While this last ROV operation lasted nearly an hour, the crew could have spent all day surveying this unique underwater landscape, which we plan to do tomorrow.
Here are some of the photos from today:

Are you ready for some Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties and Savannah Smiles?
It's that time of year again.
Today is National Girl Scout Cookie Day and, starting Sunday, Girl Scouts will be in neighborhoods and in front of businesses, asking if you'd like to buy a box of cookies.
In Concord, the Scouts will be at tables from Feb. 10 to March 16. They'll be in front of grocery stores, coffee shops and theaters. You can see the schedule of cookie tables here.
The Girl Scouts will sell 11 types of cookies this year. Girl Scout cookies were first sold in 1917, five years after Juliette Gordon Low started the non-profit organization.
Scout leaders say the cookie sales not only raise money for the organization, but also teach girls how to run their own business.

Common Ground
Fri, Feb 23rd, 2007
Posted in Commentary
Posted in Commentary
Let's face it - right now on the issue of global warming - there is going to be disagreement. There are people who don't believe that it is happening or that it is caused by human activity and there are the people who agree that global warming is a fact and to maintain our current quality of life we need to cut our carbon emissions within the next 50 years.
We believe it is a waste of time trying to convert others to my way of thinking. We would rather find common ground and work together for a solution. So, the common ground we are proposing is the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren.
Admit it - we all want the best for our children. Realistically, we all want them to have the resources they need to live a comfortable lifestyle. The fact of the matter is, life will be much different when fossil fuels will run out. According to a spokesman from Chevron, "oil production is in decline in 33 of the 48 largest oil producing countries." Robert Rapier a chemical engineer for Conoco-Phillips testified in 2005 to the Montana House of Representatives with the statement. "I believe that oil production will peak in a few short years and it will have serious ramifications for society."
Do we as a society want to continue to carve our planet in search of more fossil fuels? Are we willing to pay more and more as demand outpaces supply? Are we as a society satisfied with the knowledge that there will one day be no gas for our car, natural gas to heat our home, nor coal to power the electric company? It is wiser and more cost effective to plan ahead before we run out and look for alternatives for oil, coal and natural gas to insure that we have alternatives in place for when that day comes.
That is why we support taking tax incentives away from oil companies and using the money to encourage green technology. That is why we are for utilizing the wind and sun that Minnesota is blessed with. Whether we run out of fossil fuels in our lifetime or not, we want our children to have resources available to them. We want to take care of their future. It's not about us- it's about them.
Here is a quote by Senator John McCain from a prepared statement to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in regard to a move toward sustainable energy policy; "The status quo is a strong and stubborn force. People and institutions are averse to change, even when that change is critical for their own well-being, and that of their children and grandchildren. If the scientists are right and temperatures continue to rise, we could face environmental, economic, and national security consequences far beyond our ability to imagine. If they are wrong and the Earth finds a way to compensate for the unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases in the atmospheres, what will we have accomplished? Cleaner air; greater energy efficiency, a more diverse and secure energy mix, and U.S. Leadership in the technologies of the future. There is no doubt; failure to act is the far greater risk."
That pretty much sums it up - what have we got to lose by utilizing sustainable energy?
We won't try to persuade you that we humans and all of our CO2 emissions are causing global warming and you won't try to convince us that this warming is a natural cycle and the world will heal itself. Let's agree to disagree and stand on the common ground of doing what is in the best interest of our children, our grandchildren and their future energy needs.
We know others in our community are concerned about future energy needs when 78 people attended a Public Wind Energy Meeting at Eagle Bluff this past week. They came to hear about the Winona Community Wind Project from Linda Grover, who has been coordinating the Community Winds of Winona County (CWWC) program, and learn what wind energy opportunities are possible in Fillmore County.
The Fillmore County wind maps, Linda's CWWC handouts, and other wind related information can be found and down loaded from Eagle Bluff's website (www.eagle-bluff.org/ sustainability.html). If you are interested in becoming involved in the process, complete the survey forms found on the website and send it to us at Eagle Bluff.
It is time to rise above the bickering over global warming and turn our attention to the future for our children. Their future will be decided by our action or our inaction. Won't you join us on common ground?
Kathy Klotz is the Donor Relations Coordinator at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro, tries to stay environmentally aware, and is a mother of three. Joe Deden is the Executive Director and Wind Power Geek at Eagle Bluff.

Just started listening to this and I'm already hating it. Go figure.
The writer of this article should be ashamed for introducing this band to this website.Digging: Mineral - EndSerenading
Digging: Mineral - EndSerenading
That band name is sweet though
lol no one cares about this band.
I think these guys are a lot better than they're given credit for. Nothing award winning but solid nonetheless.
Basically just escape the fate 2.0.
His lyrics are so fucking cringe-worthy, and the extremely poppy delivery of his cleans is just too much for me. I will say that I do enjoy his harsh vocals, but that's it.
Yeah the harsh vocals are pretty goodDigging: Interpol - El Pintor

Are you kidding me? I have no problem with Mabbit, I actaully enjoyed most of their debut EP but this is just awful lol
mabbit is not a bad frontman
Mabbit has mad potential (see His Last Walk and The Word Alives unreleased ep) but he has shit it all away to be corny as hell and front shitty bands.

The second round of the Australian Open wrapped up with Thursday's matches, so we're set to move into the third. That's not true for every draw thus far, due to the Extreme Heat Policy enacted on Thursday, but the important singles matches have been played and the show will go on.
The top seeds on both sides are still intact. Friday's matches are set to get underway, which means they'll be on TV Thursday night and into Friday morning for those in the United States.
Novak Djokovic, the No. 2 seed on the men's side, will be in action for the third time. He's set to take on Denis Istomin, who is unseeded but nonetheless dangerous. Djokovic has what many believe is an easy route to the semifinals and the finals, but Istomin is a legitimate opponent. Still, it's nothing in comparison to Rafael Nadal's side of the bracket, which includes Andy Murray, Juan Martin Del Potro and Roger Federer.
Women's No. 1 seed Serena Williams will face her first seeded opponent of the tournament in No. 31 Daniela Hantuchova. Williams has dominated her first two opponents and, like Djokovic, she's considered to have an easier route to the final rounds than her primary competition, No. 2 seed Victoria Azarenka.
Top seeds in action for the men include No. 3 seed David Ferrer (against No. 29 Jeremy Chardy), No. 9 seed Richard Gasquet (against No. 18 Tommy Robredo) and No. 15 seed Fabio Fognini, taking on unseeded American Sam Querrey. That matchup should be one of the highlights of the round, as Querrey is about as tough an unseeded opponent as one can get.
Top seeds in action for the women include No. 4 Na Li (against No. 26 Lucie Safarova), No. 9 seed Angelique Kerber (against unseeded Alison Riske) and No. 14 Ana Ivanovic taking on No. 17 seed and local Samantha Stosur.
Friday's matches get underway at 11 a.m. local time, which means television coverage in the U.S. begins at 7 p.m. ET Thursday. The Tennis Channel will get coverage started at 7 p.m. and run through 11 p.m., at which point ESPN2 will take over for the long haul, until 7 a.m. Friday morning. There's also live streaming from the Australian Open website here, if you qualify.
The full schedule can be found here.

Thank You for a Successful April Fools' DayHappy April Fools' Day!Last week we set out to prank deviants by introducing a new and completely fake technology: thoughtART! With some hard work and a little magic from dT, thoughtART came to life. The Idea Behind The TechnologyFor this project, we were inspired by the advanced technology in "Her," a movie about a new artificially intelligent operating system. After a ton of discussions, we decided to introduce a new piece of technology that can sync with deviants' brainwaves to search for or create art. In actuality, a drawing was selected at random from a group of deviations created beforehand by deviantART staff members using deviantART muro. When users saw the art being created with their minds, they were actually watching deviantART muro redraw the artwork.At midnight on April 2

Happy HolidaysHappy Holidays Folks Yes I say Happy Holidays. Now that the War on Christmas is starting I would like to explain why. There are four different reasons to use Happy Holidays:"Happy Holiday", an English translation of the Hebrew Hag Sameach greeting on Passover, Sukkot, and Shavuot."Happy Holiday", a substitution for "Merry Christmas"."Happy Holidays", a collective and inclusive wish for the period encompassing many holidays "Happy Holidays", a shortened form of the greeting "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."I use it mostly for 3 and 4 , not 2. I say Merry Christmas to those I know who celebrate it either in a secular form or a religious form, this would include my family and a few friends. But mostly I say Happy Holidays because of reason 3. No, that is not an attack on your faith or religion, this phrase does not make you a victim. IT IS H

More Critical Thoughts on Art School + Career PathHey everyone, thanks for the info on San Francisco for those who live in / near there. It's a big thing for me to still be thinking about, so I'll definitely be coming in for a visit before I make any final decisions.Elsewhere, I've been meaning to do a short rant dealing with how I feel retrospectively having gone to art school. I've talked about having gone before, and I've given some advice about choosing a school that's right for you should you choose to go. But you know, having been out for a couple years now, there are a few glaring problems I see not just from the school I attended, but apparently from many schools nationwide. And this deals with offering students a clear path of study for the often specialized career they are looking to get into. Areas of art such as (concept) design, animation, comics/storyboarding/sequential, full-time freelance, and all-over jobs related to working in industry-level professional positions, or in a teamwork-oriented studio setting.

Subject: [Lon] The Temple Church et al
Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 11:27:39 +0930
Hello everyone
I have some baptisms at the above church
One says
19.4.1762 - Frances Marie, daughter of William Hutton of the Inner Temple,
peruke maker
and then
29.2.1756 - John Harriman, son of William and Mary Hutton of the Middle
Temple, peruke maker
Could someone please tell me what the references to Inner and Middle Temples
ALSO - does anyone have any idea about the name Harriman? I have this
Hutton family in Devon with father and son having the middle name Harriman,
I have found a Harriman Hutton in Spilsby and now the above John Harriman
Hutton. I dont know if its a common name or if it ties all my Huttons
I have someone who is a Major in the Indian Army - is there a mailing list
that covers the British in India? I could not see one but then I can't find
my glasses either.
Kind Regards
South Australia

The Dallas Cowboys are over the salary cap and offensive lineman Doug Free could become a cap casualty in the near future. Free struggled this past season at right tackle and is due $7 million in 2013 if he remains on the roster.
If he returns to the team, it is possible it won't be as the starting right tackle as Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones has said that Dallas is also considering moving Free to the guard position. "We're looking at it. We're going to un-turn every stone to get better. But I wouldn't rule him out of tackle either," Jones said.
Free, a Cowboys fourth round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, became the starting left tackle in Dallas in 2010 and switched over the right tackle position in 2012, swapping spots with Tyron Smith. Free struggled throughout 2012, leading the NFL in penalties with eight false starts and seven holding penalties. His struggles moved Free into a rotation at the position with Jermey Parnell, but Free played some of his best football at the end of the season.
Despite the Cowboys cap issues, it is possible they could part with Free and bring in a free agent tackle. There are several offensive tackles on the market and the Cowboys are no strangers to signing big names and spending big money. If they decide they want someone, they'll find a way to make a run at him.

• Monday's NFL Combine winners and losers

5 Things I Thought Were Important About Last Night's PS4 "Unveiling"
I should admit upfront that I'm not a big fan of these big-time game industry concert/reveals. I feel like they're overly-hyped, excessively produced, and are never fully indicative of what a player is actually going to experience when purchasing a new product. This tends to be true across the board for the industry. Unless a developer releases real in-game footage like in a developer diary or gives players a demo, most of the time what you see is not at all what you get.
Take for example what happened with Aliens: Colonial Marines last week, after revealing what looked like some really beautiful "in-game" screenshots the reality ended up being anything but. I think Sony's PS4 unveiling last night was a lot like this, showing off the highly polished version of everything in order to create the hype and hope for the upcoming console. That's not to say that everything they showed off was bad, but when it comes to big events like this I like to take everything with a grain of salt.
No Console? No Big Deal.
Who needs Photoshop when you've got MS Paint?
The elephant in the room last night was obviously the lack of Sony's PS4 unveil actually unveiling the console itself. While I think that not showing the actual console is silly, I really don't think it's as important as some are making it out to be. Those who are looking to buy the console aren't doing so because it will look good sitting underneath their television sets. These days, consumers are asking more questions about services and not what the console actually looks like. Strategically, it does allow them to get some additional hype down the road, especially considering Microsoft will soon be stealing the spotlight when they unveil their next-gen console. It may be lame or even cheap in a way, but by not showing off the console last night they've kept their ace in the hole to draw the media attention back onto themselves pretty much whenever they choose.
Last Night was not the Night to talk about Polygons.
The lights go dim, the crowd sits in hushed anticipation, and David Cage from Quantic Dream enters the stage to talk about their plans for the next-gen; sounds like a good time to talk about polygons, right? Technical details are great for developers and tech-savvy fans, but most players don't really care how you got there. Quantic Dream's part of last night's event showed pretty much nothing except a giant face of an old man made using 30K polygons. That's not to say that the tech isn't impressive or even revolutionary, who knows, but last night was not the night to give a highly technical address to fans that were really just hoping to hear about a new game. Cage went on and on about how great this technology is and how they can now show "limitless emotions" with an increased polygon count, yet their demo was of this weird old man just staring outward showing little to no emotion at all. As Reddit reminded me last night, Polygons don't make emotion, good story telling does. I'm not saying Quantic Dream isn't capable of emotion, but just telling me about it, with an emotionless head floating in the background, isn't enough. Instead of telling me about it, they should have showed it to me.
We'll Tell you about Whether or not you can Play Used Games Tomorrow
Freak out averted, kind of.
No seriously, one of the biggest discussions floating around the last couple of weeks was over rumors that the PS4 would restrict used games. Just the fact that the idea was out there, even if it was unsubstantiated by Sony, was enough to get the debate started. As last night's event continued with little to no mention as to whether or not the rumors were true, I began to think that they were avoiding the issue because there were indeed planning on it. Then today I woke up and read on Eurogamer that this wasn't the case and players would not be restricted in playing used games on the PS4. I don't know why they chose not to mention it last night. Perhaps they felt it just wasn't the forum for that kind of information or they simply hadn't decided, but either way it shows a true lack of understanding as to what people are looking for in an event like this. It might not have the pizzazz of a new trailer or fancy new graphics, but when the community is up in arms about something like this and it isn't mentioned, it makes those holding the event look out of touch as to what people want to know. We had a ten minute lecture on tech and polygons and we can't get ten seconds to squash a nasty rumor?
Streaming Older PlayStation Titles is a Start, but it Might not be Enough
Hopefully this image doesn't represent the future of the PS4.
On its surface the idea of streaming older PS1, PS2, and PS3 titles straight to the PS4 sounds like an awesome idea and it is to some extent. However the devil is in the details as they say and this feature can either be really good or really bad depending on how some of the details pan out. First, there's a big difference between streaming and downloading, if the title could be downloaded, say for a small price, then I think that this would be a great idea, but only being allowed to stream these games leaves those with crummy internet connections out in the cold. There's also no word as to whether players will have to pay for these titles, although I bet that will have more to do with how old or how popular the title is. There's simply not enough information about this feature to form an accurate opinion about it. As I said it is a start, but if it turns out players need to pay to stream titles they already own then it's a really crummy solution for backwards compatibility.
Did we all just Beta Test Diablo III for Consoles without Knowing about it?
As you can tell by the crowd's reaction, everyone was a bit surprised, and not in a good way, to see Blizzard's Senior VP, Chris Metzen, up on the stage last night. If you turn up the volume you can almost hear the crickets as he walked on stage in front of the Blizzard logo. After a rather long winded explanation he unveiled that Diablo III would be making its way to the PS4, the crowd throwing out about 20 claps as the video ended. At the time I was confused, the game itself still feels barely finished on the PC, especially after they scrapped their often promised PvP system. After reading through the Blizzard forums however, it appears as those this may have been the plan for the game all along. The topic has been deleted, but Kotaku posted some important aspects of the thread before it went down, and it does make a strong case for Diablo III having been planned for consoles all along.
The list is rather short but it does outline some features about Diablo III that make it an almost perfect fit for consoles. Perhaps this is the reason PC fans generally didn't enjoy the game as much as its predecessor. It also gives an explanation as to why the game didn't feel finished when it was released; it actually wasn't finished. If they did plan on shooting for the next-gen all along then that makes their release of the game on PCs as one big beta test to work out bugs and receive feedback before releasing it for consoles. I know, I know I'm getting a little conspiracy theory about Diablo III, but it is a simple and logical explanation as to what went "wrong" with their PC release.
I honestly didn't mean to be all negative about last night's event, but it really did leave me with more questions than answers. Microsoft is probably fine tuning their event as we speak in order to avoid a torrent of golf claps at their upcoming next-gen unveiling. Perhaps the reality of the PS4 will not be what was shown last night, but if their event was designed to get everyone psyched about it, they still have a long way to go.

Yeah, I was hoping for something new from Blizzard. And then the video started and I was like "really, it's just Diablo 3?"
I think touting the graphics wasn't a bad idea, since a lot of (stupid) gamers go on and on about graphics and having graphics pissing contests.
# Draugron 22 Feb 2013 at 8:01 pm
I've been saying Diablo 3 was built with consoles in mind, listing some of these same reasons on this very site for months now!
No one believe me, but as you've pointed out (now) its been there to see for the people who were looking for it
While MS's style for whatever press event may be better, I don't think the substance will be much difference. I Expect to be equally underwhelmed.
# TheMightyChesticleson 26 Feb 2013 at 4:47 pm
Seriously. I've indicated in a previous post that Sony has really lost touch with gamers by making their last two console releases (PSP and PS3) alternative media devices FIRST and gaming consoles second. They've really had to play catch-up to Nintendo and Microsoft to get to where they are now.
I was actually so excited to learn that the whole theme of the PS4 was creating a better gaming experience – GOING BACK TO GAMES. I haven't wanted to own a Sony product for a while, and they have definitely peaked my interest. That is until I see that their new controller is a similar (kind of/sort of) think to the new WiiU, and that their big reveals were beautiful graphics (good graphics does not a good game make), and Diablo 3.
Ugh. Come on guys – blow my mind already.
# Draugron 02 Mar 2013 at 6:33 pm
Then you haven't been paying attention, the consoles have been doing this for months now. To see a bigger push of it on the new consoles shouldn't be shocking,
They only have an interest in the money to be made ion the living room, that's how its always been. now that they smell more money in things that arent games, thats where there focus will be.
You convincing yourself MS and Sony really cared about gaming is your fault.

I pulled up behind our house and gave the traditional come-hither hand gesture to my youngest, who I could see through his bedroom window was dutifully doing his homework. Physics 11 would have to wait.
When he walked up, I was leaning against the garage, my head lowered and resting on my forearm.
"I'm so ashamed," I said, pointing toward the tailgate of the family pickup. He peered inside.
"Oh my God, dad! Mom's going to kill you," he replied. "What happened?" "What do you mean, 'What happened?' COSTCO happened!" I said, with an increasingly desperate tone.
"I warned her not to send me there alone. In fact, I begged her several times. You remember, right? Right? You heard me warn her?" He just shook his head, smiled and started to help unload the truck, which sat exhausted in the lane, straining visibly on its springs. Periodically, he'd laugh or exclaim, "Oh, my God!" or sometimes both at once as he wrestled out the various items that lay within.
"A three-pack of cottage cheese! What were you thinking? It's not even low fat!," his words upshifting into accusation. "And, seriously, how are we ever going to eat this many chicken wings?" Then it all came rushing back ... the terrible tale of the jumbo jar of sauerkraut. Like a lot of newlyweds with a baby on the way and a mortgage similar to the national debt of Burkina Faso, my wife and I were lured 20 year ago by the sirens' song of Costco, which, translated from the ancient Greek, is mostly about the sweet delights of cheap, massive packages of toilet paper.
We got a Costco "membership" and started making monthly trips to the Richmond store. Almost from out first visit we were in trouble, coming home routinely with two or three 24-can flats of soup, six or seven sweatshirts because they were "such a good deal" and two-packs of grand pianos, that kind of thing.
My pal Garth calls Costco "the $300 store," because you can't get in and out of there for less, but he's a lightweight. Our Costco bills in the early 1990s were already higher than 300 bucks and if you think I'm going to publicly admit the size of my bill two Sundays ago, you're nuts.
At some point we started to wonder if we were really saving that much money, especially when we took into account the cost of gas circling the Costco parking lot for three or four hours on the weekend looking for a spot.
But it was the massive jar of sauerkraut that finally did us in as Costco members back then. It was my fault. I spotted this, like, two-gallon glass jar of pickled cabbage for something like 19 cents.
"What a deal! If we get home late and have to make dinner quickly, this could be the vegetable," I remember saying to my wife by way of an explanation/rationalization, even though she actually doesn't like sauerkraut, I'm not crazy about it and we couldn't feed it to the baby. But at the time, there in the aisle standing beside that big cart larger than my first car, it all made sense.
That night I opened the sauerkraut, took out a single small serving (my wife declined) and put the jar into the fridge after moving the shelves so it would fit. At first, it sat quietly up front beside the milk jug - actually, more looming over it, teutonically. But over time, through neglect, it drifted first to the back of the top shelf before eventually ending up on its side at the back of the bottom shelf beside long-lost jars of miso, maraschino cherries and old containers of culinary mysteries best left unexplored. About two years later I finally tossed it out.
We stopped going to Costco and we'd still be Costcoaphobes were it not for the new addition to our family, a springer spaniel puppy named Charlie whose breeder strongly urged us to buy a brand of dog food only available at that store/future independent nation because it's recommended by vets and cheap as — you guessed it — sauerkraut.
So $110 later, I'm an "executive member" of Costco, which I believe is a wholesalers term for "sucker" and once again wandering its long aisles, randomly grabbing items that seem to be good deals that later will be clearly unnecessary. At least, as the kindly checkout lady said, I didn't head home with an 80-inch TV like other husbands she seen sent to the store dangerously unsupervised. That made me feel a little better.
Meanwhile, anyone know any good recipes featuring 48 cans of corned beef?

-- On May 11, Half Machine will release Upside Down, the new EP from the blearily reverbed-out London-based psyche-popper Banjo or Freakout. It'll be on 12" vinyl and digital download only, so CD fetishists are shit out of luck. Banjo or Freakout will play shows around the UK in the coming months.
-- The Liverpool Sound City festival will take over various venues in the Beatles' hometown May 20-23. Clinic, Deerhunter, Black Lips, and Little Boots are among the artists participating this year. Also, both Antlers and Crystal Antlers will play, so you know this thing is cool.

U.S. Sales of new single-family homes were down 3 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.131 million units, following a downward revision to the sales rate for May, according to figures released by the U.S. Commerce Department.
Year-to-date, actual new-home sales for the first half of the year were down 11.9 percent from the same period during last year's record year in new home sales.
"The slowdown reported, coupled with the downward revisions of the previous 2 months, indicates that we are well into the predicted cooling down process," said Michael Carliner, an economist at NAHB. "We expect this to continue as the impact of recent increases in interest rates is fully reflected in sales."
"NAHB's current forecast shows about a 12 percent decline in new-home sales for 2006 as a whole, however, any further monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve would have a more severe negative impact on sales," Carliner added.
Three of four regions across the country posted a decrease in pace of new homes sales in June. Sales declined 11.3 percent in the Northeast, 7.9 percent in the Midwest and 6 percent in the South. The sales rate in the West increased 8.2 percent for the month. All regions reported substantially lower sales on a year-to-date basis.
The inventory of new homes for sale rose to 566,000 units at the end of June, a 6.1 months' supply at the current sales pace. Almost all of the increase was for-sale units that were permitted but not yet started, which represented nearly 20 percent of the inventory level.

A pedestrian bridge was also damaged during the blaze, but no one was reported injured.
