Image designed and provided by Estelle from Rather Be Reading
I have invited my very dear friend J.H. Trumble, author of the critically acclaimed DON'T LET ME GO and the forthcoming WHERE YOU ARE to the blog today. One of my favorite things about J.H.'s excellent writing and storytelling is her ability to craft hugely dynamic characters. I hope you enjoy the guest post below.
I've wracked my brain trying to figure out how Trumble makes her characters so human — flaws and all — and I come up short every single time. Because it just happens. It is so natural how these characters live and breathe on the page . . . ~Estelle HSo apparently I have some talent for writing three-dimensional, fully-realized characters. Let's assume for a moment that my fans and reviewers are correct, and that I have something useful to share with you today. In fact, let's make this one of those how-to posts—Five Steps to Creating Memorable Characters by J.H. Trumble. Disclaimer: This is my process. It works for me.
1. Decide what it is you want to write about first.
For me it's always a question or a series of questions I want to explore. Don't Let Me Go was inspired by a real event in my community that ended in the suicide of a promising young man. Question: What if that young man had had a hero? Where You Are is about a student/teacher relationship. Question: Could there be a legitimate sexual relationship between a teacher and student, and how would that happen? Just Between Us is about a young man who contracts HIV. Question: How would such a devastating diagnosis affect a young man's various relationships and his self image?
2. Choose a character to wrestle with the issue.
My main characters always begin with real people. It's just hard for me to create characters out of thin air. So I choose people I find interesting, and we're off. Of course, over time, the characters become unique individuals, completely separate from their initial inspiration.
3. Let your characters live and interact with their environment and others in their world.
This is where my characters become real. As I work my way through a story I have to ask myself repeatedly, what else is going on in my character's life? Who else is in his world? When he gets home from school, who's there? When he picks up his phone, who does he text? Does he have a job? Does he like his job?
So I finish one scene and I look around. What next? It's kind of like playing chess. I look at the board, and decided what the next move will be. And it can't be random. It has to make sense based on the placement of all the other pieces. Sometimes I can kind of see my way to the end, and sometimes I can only see one or two scenes ahead. But I do think it's that scene-by-scene progression that allows my characters to develop.
4. Constantly ask yourself why. Why did my character do that? Why did he say that? What's he hiding? What's he really after?
This is my favorite part, because this is where all the surprises happen. I like writing best when I'm writing fast, when I'm allowing my characters to interact and do or say whatever. It's very intuitive. And often times, they surprise me. And that's when I have to sit back and say, huh. There's something more going on here and I'm going to find out what that is.
5. Ask yourself, what the hell just happened here?
When I finish a manuscript, there's always this long stretch of time when I try to make sense of it all. I look at the main characters and try to understand what's been motivating them, what they've been so afraid of, where their thinking has been wrong or right. I know a lot of writers do this before they start a novel, but for me, this happens at the end. Once I think I really understand them, I can go back and edit to clarify what I now know about the characters. I look at every action, every line they speak and ask myself, would Nate say or do this? Would Andrew really respond this way?
Despite all my care in getting my characters right, my editor still sometimes calls foul. And then two things happen. First, I get completely indignant. "What? You're batshit crazy. That's totally Nate (Adam, Robert Andrew)!" And then, after I've had some time to chill and really consider his comment, I rewrite the section.
I will say this, there is no one way to write great characters. Process is as individual as fingerprints. Whatever gets you there, you know!

Arlene LaVerne Kammerer, 79 years of age, of Gothenburg, Nebraska (formerly of Republican City)
Funeral Services for Arlene L. Kammerer will be conducted on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Alma, Nebraska with Reverend Jim Bendorf and Pastor Jeff Cottingham officiating. Interment will be in the Republican City Cemetery at Republican City, Nebraska.
Arlene LaVerne Kammerer, 79 years of age, of Gothenburg, Nebraska (formerly of Republican City), passed away on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, Nebraska. Arlene was born March 31, 1934 in Harlan County, Nebraska near Woodruff, Kansas, the youngest of thirteen children born to Holger and Emma (Noren) Christensen. Arlene attended primary schools at District 59 and District 23 country schools in rural Harlan County and graduated from Long Island High School in Long Island, Kansas with the class of 1951.
Following her graduation, Arlene lived in Topeka, Kansas and Redondo Beach, California.
On May 5, 1957, Arlene was united in marriage to Marvin Merle Kammerer at the Methodist Church in Alma and to this union two children were born: Kristi Kay and Kyle Marvin. The family made their home on a farm west of Republican City where they raised cattle, farmed and were active Amway Distributors. Marvin passed away in 1985.
Both Arlene and Marvin were actively involved in the community. Arlene was a former member of the United Methodist Church in Republican City, a member of the Eastern Star, the IMP Club, the American Legion Auxiliary, and a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Gothenburg.
In August of 2011, Arlene started to make her home at Stone Hearth Estates in Gothenburg. Arlene enjoyed being closer to her grandchildren and attending their many activities. She enjoyed painting ceramics and raising her family.
Arlene was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Marvin Kammerer; sisters: Mildred Wessels and husband, William, Doris Smith and her husbands, Lyle and Wayne and a sister in infancy; brothers: Raymond Christensen and his wife, LaVerne, Wayne Christensen and his wives, Irene and June, Wesley Christensen, Virgil Christensen, Lawrence Christensen, Darrell Christensen and a brother in infancy.
She is survived by her two children: Kristi Kreuscher and her husband, John of Gothenburg, Nebraska, and Kyle Kammerer and his wife, Lana of Grant, Nebraska; four grandchildren: Shelby Malsbury and her husband, Travis of North Platte, Nebraska, Kaden Kammerer of Grant, and Aaron and Andrew Kreuscher of Gothenburg; great-grandchildren: Kaydence and Shayleigh Ackman and Zarek Malsbury; brothers: Roy Christensen of Edison, Nebraska and Don Christensen and his wife, Jean of Alma; sisters-in-law: Elma Christensen of Alma and June Christensen of Topeka, Kansas; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Visitation will be held on Friday, August 16, 2013 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with the family greeting from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma.
A memorial has been established in Arlene's name and can be made to the Republican City Cemetery or the Trinity Lutheran Church Building Fund of Gothenburg.
Expressions of caring and kindness can be sent to the family at www.nelsonbauerfh.com
The Bauer-Torrey & Mach Funeral Home in Alma is in charge of arrangements.

Sixth form pupil will still play piano at Ryan Giggs's restaurant - despite breaking her wrist (From The Bolton News)
Sixth form pupil will still play piano at Ryan Giggs's restaurant - despite breaking her wrist
6:00am Friday 28th March 2014 in News By Vickie Scullard, News feature writer
A SIXTH form pupil who was asked to play piano at Ryan Giggs's restaurant on Mothers' Day is determined to play on — despite breaking her wrist.
Cammie Carter, who attends Rivington and Blackrod High School, was thrilled after being asked to return to George's Dining Room and Bar in Worsley after performing there two weeks ago at an event.
But a big blow came last Sunday (Mar 16) after the 16-year-old broke her wrist while go-karting and now she must wear a cast.
Despite this, Miss Carter, of Greenmount Close, has found a way to stand at her piano which allows her to stretch over five notes.
She said: "I was so excited when George's asked me to perform again. So when I had an accident go-karting and found out I had broken my wrist, I was gutted that I might not be able to play.
"But thankfully, as long as I stand at a certain angle I can still stretch over five keys. Nothing, not even a broken bone, will stop me from performing at such a high profile place."
Miss Carter, who also performs regularly at Luciano's at Middlebrook, in Horwich, will be playing a number of hits old and new — but admits that despite her love of singing, her future career lies elsewhere.
She said: "I do a lot of easy listening music but I will also be trying out some blues and jazz material too. I love artists like Jamie Cullum and Tori Amos, but I will also be playing some Eva Cassidy.
"Despite my love of music, I would like to be either a pilot or work in mechanical engineering when I am older. But doing this while I am studying is the best job I could ask for."

Age Cymru: Christmas is a 'lonely time' for the elderly
Age Cymru say that whilst Christmas is a time of 'happiness' for many of us, it can be a very 'lonely time' for older people.
– Ian Thomas, Age Cymru's Chief Executive Officer
This should be a time of happiness when we can look forward to being with our families and friends and enjoying each other's company.
But it can instead be a lonely time when older people can feel that they are a burden on those closest to them.
This is why Spread the Warmth - Age Cymru's annual campaign to prevent thousands of older people in Wales suffering needlessly in winter, is so important.
Funds raised by Spread the Warmth are used to provide Winter Celebration Grants to groups across Wales so that we can bring some cheer to those who are alone or isolated at Christmas.

Okay. I finally got around to watching the clip. It was pretty funny. However, I have been called a "purist", "canonist", "traditionalist", etc. on this forum as well as several other more colorful names simply because I am a loyal fan of TOS. I have been talked down to and made fun of on this forum simply because I wanted to see a Star Trek movie based in the existing universe and one that follows existing continuity. But I find it
extremely offensive
when people like me who are fans of TOS are associated with the term "nazi". I'm an American and a Christian. To call me a nazi would be the greatest of contradictions in terms. I have to say that I agree 10000% with the captions in that video clip. However, I take great offense at the way it was depicted. That was blatant disrespect to all Trek fans, not just the hardcore Trekkies like me.
Okay. Rant over. Carry on.

kong vaults are hard it took me a while, just practice on tiny things or even practice the knee thing on a bench just going onto the bench on all fours, just try your best and that is what matters not your ability, it is the journey rather than the destination

Given the defensive struggles experienced almost the whole year I have recently been giving some thought to what can be done to mitigate some of the issues. The issues are well known by even cursory Cowboys fans; the inability to get consistent pressure on the QB, get a stop in crunch time, and generally poor tackling are well documented. Even stopping the run, while less of an issue than the others, has been problematic from time to time.
For a defense to go from near the top of the league to near the bottom in one year, with only one player change, is puzzling to say the least. Now granted, the player change in question is a key in the defensive scheme of things given that he calls the coverage and is "supposed" to get people in the right place, but still, if the player change were causing problems with either of those tasks you would THINK that they could get someone else to do them. If there were/are issues with that player missing INDIVIDUAL assignments, as I suspect he was, then that is another story.
Another concern is that the D started out pretty well, I seem to recall that they were #4 overall or something along those lines after several weeks. And then the wheels fell off. The question is why? Spears went out for the year, but unless he was a "hidden" key to the whole machine I don't see that as being a huge issue. He's solid against the run but an almost non-factor against the pass. He wasn't drawing a double team all of the time, opening up opportunities for other guys like Spencer, so that shouldn't be a big problem.
All of this leads me to the conclusion that the problems were either caused by a tsunami sized drop in player performance by anyone not named Ware or Ratliff, or, there are major issues with schemes. Or a combination of both. We heard from several opposing players over the course of the year that they knew what defense they were going to run, and when they were going to run it. Earlier in the year it was when they were going to blitz and where it was coming from, later in the year it was what coverage they would be in on 4th and 15, etc.
Now, maybe Mr. Fixit really was a genius and was able to hide personnel deficiencies for 3 years, but I suspect not. Most likely they opponents just caught on to his tendencies. Couple that with some down years by players and some limitations on their abilities, like being a good man corner as opposed to being good in space, etc and here we are. Which leads to the obvious question, where do we go from here?
This defense was clearly built for a 3-4, so a schematic change to the 4-3 would be problematic personnel wise. While Ratliff and someone like Brent or Spears could man the middle, you'd still need 2 DE's. Both Ware and Spencer were DE's in college, but in the words of BP himself it would not be a good idea to have Ware going up against an OT ever play, he'd get worn down. Same goes for Spencer. Plus, a 4-3 DE needs to be more of a pass rusher and the evidence is still out on Spencer's ability to do that on a consistent basis, especially as a DE. Moving one or both of those guys to DE would leave them needing 4-3 OLB's, Butler might be able to do it, or possibly Lee. This would leave them depending on James and/or Brooking to man the middle. And none of this, other than a possible increase in the pass rush, does anything to help with the sieve like pass defense.
So, with all of that being said I think that a change in defensive coordinators is in order. Bring in someone with a different style and some different ideas, different tendencies and techniques to help get this back on track. Throw in a new DB coach as well while you are at it. And then pray that the addition of a veteran, or at least new, FS and some rebound years by players like Jenkins and Spencer can get this defense back to at least respectable.

Denver Broncos Ring of Fame running back, Terrell Davis, makes the list of best players of the 1990's and given his short, albeit explosive career, that is quite the honor. Joining him on the list...
The 49-27 beat down of the Baltimore Ravens last night is only a prelude of what we can expect in the regular season.
These summer months are brutal for football fans, but not as brutal as Zimmerman was to his opposition.
Ever wondered how the Denver Broncos acquired John Elway? Wonder no more!
Come see what the Duke himself had to say about the 2013 NFL Draft and the Broncos' approach to the madness!
John Elway was very close to being traded to the Raiders in 1983. How close? Come take a look!
NFL.com placed Elway at the top of their list for best #1 overall quarterback picks of all-time. What were the greatest moments of his career?
The Broncos are meeting with Arizona QB Matt Scott next week and are interested in Texas A&M Linebacker Sean Porter. With the draft only weeks away, look for visits and workouts reports to start...
1. John Elway, Broncos 1983. The first pick in the draft, Elway wanted nothing to do with playing for the Baltimore Colts and forced them to deal him to the Broncos. Some rank him as the best quarterback of all-time. He certainly was one of the greatest clutch performers in NFL history. His 148-82-1 record as a starter is one of the best ever. Here is the bonus part of the Elway acquisition: he's still paying dividends for the team at the age of 52 as he is quickly becoming one of the most respected executives in the game.
In here you will see the raw numbers that Dumervil produced, identify a baseline of production that needs to be replaced, and see a side to side comparison of possible FA replacements Dwight...

President Bush has signed legislation to create an Abraham Lincoln
National Heritage Area.
Last week, the House approved the measure after it passed the Senate as part of a bill involving the nation's public lands.
The Lincoln heritage area would be spread out over the many
Illinois counties where the former president spent his pre-White
House years.
The provision was co-sponsored by Illinois's Democratic Senator
Dick Durbin and Republican Congressman Ray LaHood.
The legislation calls for up to $15 million in federal money
over 15 years. The money will be used to fund grants to help keep
alive the story of Lincoln through the heritage area, which will
include 42 central Illinois counties.

Spokane, WA (Sports Network) - Kevin Pangos and Kelly Olynyk each netted 20 points with sharp shooting performances and No. 6 Gonzaga continued its recent dominance at home over Loyola Marymount with a 74-55 victory on Saturday.
Pangos knocked down 7-of-11 from the field -- including 4-of-7 from three- point range -- while Olynyk missed just one of his eight attempts from the field to help the Bulldogs (23-2, 10-0 WCC) stay unscathed in conference play and notch their 23rd straight win over the Lions in Spokane.
Elias Harris put forth a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulldogs' sixth consecutive victory.
"It was a good, solid, methodical win," said Gonzaga coach Mark Few. "We played great half-court defense."
Anthony Ireland was the sole source of offense for the Lions (8-16, 1-10), who shot a brutal 29.8 percent in dropping their eighth straight contest. He finished with 30 points in defeat.
"You better believe depth played a factor tonight," said LMU coach Max Good. "You have to have at least 10 players to be able to compete up here. I have the utmost respect for Gonzaga and this program. They are very, very good."
Loyola Marymount shot an even worse 22.6 percent in the first half, but thanks to 15 points from Ireland, only trailed by 11 at the break. However, Gonzaga came out of the locker room and quickly put the contest out of reach.
After Ashley Hamilton hit a 3-pointer for the Lions to open the second stanza, the Bulldogs ran off with an 18-6 surge, which featured triples from Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. to push the Bulldogs' advantage to 54-34.
Ireland shot a respectable 8-for-20 for the night while also adding 12 free throws, but his supporting cast shot a combined 9-of-37 from the field and the Lions never got closer than 16 points the rest of the way.
After holding just a 19-17 lead through the first 10 minutes, the Bulldogs created some separation when they closed out the half on a 17-8 run. Olynyk tallied 10 points during the stretch and helped send Gonzaga into the break with a 36-25 advantage.
The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 56-23 ... Loyola Marymount hasn't won at
Gonzaga since Feb. 7, 1991 and has been beaten by at least 16 points in each
of their last seven visits ... Gonzaga converted on 21-of-30 free-throw
attempts while the Lions sank 18-of-22 from the line ... The Bulldogs
committed 15 turnovers.

Tokyo Game Show 2013: All the games and news, live from Japan
This week the Tokyo Game Show kicks off in the city of Chiba, Japan, about 25 miles southeast of the heart of Tokyo. We'll be filing live from Japan with news from the show, the press conferences and a bit of inside insight from private studio visits and interviews. Make sure to check back regularly for all of the news coming out of the Makuhari Messe's packed halls for the week and weekend.
Tokyo Game Show 2013 breaks attendance records, 2014 event scheduled
This year's Tokyo Game Show attracted record numbers of visitors, with overall attendance coming in at 270,197 across the four-day convention, breaking the previous year's figure of 223,753, the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) and Nikkei Business Publications announced.
This year saw the show's two public days breaking last year's single-day attendance record of 94,989, with 102,399 people on Sept. 21 and 115,444 on Sept. 22. The two business days on Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 recorded 29,171 and 23,183 attendees, respectively.
According to organizers, 352 companies from...
Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter success made Inafune 'realize how big an influence Mega Man has had'
Keiji Inafune's spiritual successor to Mega Man, Kickstarter-funded project Mighty No. 9, has changed the way the "father of Mega Man" thinks about the franchise he used to oversee and the influence the character has over people's lives.
In an interview with Polygon, Inafune said the success Mighty No. 9 has had in its crowdfunding efforts may help change the Japanese game development industry, empowering creators over corporations. For Inafune, it has already meant a change in the way he thinks about his fans.
"When you're creating a game, it feels like you're connected with the users...
Pavilion's fourth-person gameplay highlights another PlayStation indie
One of Sony's quieter announcements just before Tokyo Game Show was the addition of a game called Pavilion to the growing lineup of indie games coming to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. At TGS, the game's creators brought the upcoming title to the show's new Indie Games Area, offering the public its first hands-on time with Pavilion.
Pavilion is an exploratory adventure played from a fourth-person perspective, according to its creators. Players manipulate a glowing cursor to interact with objects like bells, light sources and blocks as they guide a man through a lush, mysterious fantasy world....
Mouth-on with Food Practice Shooter, a game about eating vegetables
Tucked away at an unlabeled booth at TGS 2013 is a peculiar game that blends education, light gun shooting and the consumption of real-life vegetables. It is called, appropriately, Food Practice Shooter.
Food Practice Shooter, which was created by Dr. Takayuki Kosaka, whose prior work includes a pregnancy simulator (complete with body suit peripheral) titled Mommy Tummy, is designed to curb unhealthy eating habits in young people. It's one part nutritional science and one part psychology, all wrapped in a package that young people might be more willing to listen to than a traditional...
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is a bloody mess
The Ninja Gaiden spin-off being developed by Team Ninja, Spark Unlimited and Comcept, action game Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, shares little resemblance to the rest of the series. It's a cel-shaded, comedically gory hack-and-slash that, based on the Tokyo Game Show demo, trades high-speed action and finesse for ease of play.
Yaiba's similarities to Team Ninja's recent Ninja Gaiden games are few. It stars a ninja, Yaiba Kamikaze, capable of slicing his way through foes at an output of dozens of corpses per minute.
But in Yaiba, those enemies are primarily variations on the undead, from...
Puyo Puyo Tetris is a simple, cute hybrid of two puzzle game classics
The blobs of Sega's Puyo Puyo series and the tetrominos of the venerable Tetris come together in Sega's appropriately titled Puyo Puyo Tetris, a colorful blend of the two long-running franchises. The marriage of the two action puzzle games appears to work as more than just a clever crossover experiment, based on our hands-on time with the game at Tokyo Game Show.
We played demos of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game and found them nearly identical in what they offered: a one-on-one battle against an AI opponent, pitting Tetris rules against Puyo Puyo rules.

PS4's The PlayRoom air hockey demo is actually kind of a blast
The PlayRoom, the pre-installed PS4 hardware tech demo that will be included with Sony's new console at launch, hides a surprisingly compelling game in its augmented reality trappings.
You've probably seen it in trailers and the like: It's a simple air hockey game played on a virtual field projected by the light bars on two DualShock 4 controllers. Each player uses the touchpad to maneuver their paddle on either end of the field — it's about half as wide as your goal, so blocking shots isn't too difficult. You can click down on the pad to sort of buckle and pop your paddle, letting you...
How Soul Sacrifice Delta is changing by letting fate decide
An update to PlayStation Vita game Soul Sacrifice is due to hit Japan early next year, bringing it with it new monsters to battle, refined graphics, new characters and costumes and improved AI. Perhaps the most significant changes coming to the new version, named Soul Sacrifice Delta, are the introduction of a new faction, Grim, and the choice to neither save or sacrifice your fallen enemies.
Instead of making that choice themselves, players can let fate decide it for them.
Soul Sacrifice creator Keiji Inafune explained the new choice (or lack thereof) in an interview with Polygon at...
Lightning Returns lets you cosplay as Final Fantasy 10's Yuna
Lightning's expansive wardrobe in her next outing, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13, will include a costume based on Yuna from Final Fantasy 10, Square Enix revealed at Tokyo Game Show today. The costume, called "Spira's Summoner," is one of 80 outfits the publisher is promising for the fashionable Final Fantasy 13 sequel.
You can see Lightning as Yuna in action in the new gameplay video above.
In Japan, the Yuna costume will be available in Lightning Returns to players who purchase a copy of Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD for PlayStation Vita or PS3. Square Enix hasn't announced a similar...
Capcom's Deep Down will be free-to-play on PS4
PlayStation 4 dungeon crawler Deep Down will be a free-to-play title, Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono announced during a stage presentation at Tokyo Game Show today.
Capcom plans to have an open beta ready for the online game near the launch of the PS4 in Japan, Sony's Shuhei Yoshida said on Twitter. Sony's next-generation PlayStation will be released on Feb. 22, 2014 in Japan. While online multiplayer games will typically require PS4 owners to be PlayStation Plus subscribers, Sony is waiving that requirement for free-to-play software, leaving the decision up to publishers.
Deep Down made...
Strider splits the difference between action and adventure
Revealed back at Comic-Con in July, the new Strider from developer Double Helix evolves the classic ninja action-platforming series into 2.5D. In many ways, it looks to split the difference between action and adventure, with combat that's quick but not too flashy (at least early on), and level designs that are open but not too elaborate. It's a Goldilocks tale.
The important message is the game feels responsive. Main character Strider Hiryu runs through enemies with quick attacks and bounces around without any trouble. In what I saw at TGS, his moves were efficient yet simple, with almost...
Tekken Revolution's fan favorite 'Female Vampire' being designed with a 'different approach'
The all-new Tekken character known currently as "Female Vampire" coming to free-to-play fighting game Tekken Revolution will feature a different approach to her fighting style, according to series producer Katsuhiro Harada. She's also getting a bit of a visual overhaul due to fan response — or at least a new haircut.
During a visit to Namco Bandai's headquarters in Tokyo this week, Polygon spoke to Harada about the current state of Tekken Revolution for PlayStation 3 and the character that fans voted for as the game's first new, original fighter. Harada said the Tekken team is in the midst...
Crimson Dragon lets players upload, rent out their custom dragons
Xbox One game Crimson Dragon, the long-in-development on rails shooter from former Panzer Dragoon series creators, will use Microsoft's cloud computing tech to let players upload their custom dragons, then rent them out to other players to use in cooperative play.
Crimson Dragon game director Yukio Futatsugi discussed the dragon rental feature during a hands-off presentation at Tokyo Game Show this week, saying players can register their leveled up dragons on the game's leaderboards. Other players can then download them and call them into battle — literally, by using Kinect voice commands...
PS4's Japan delay due to a lack of Japanese games
The late launch of the PlayStation 4 in Japan is, in part, a response to the lack of games aimed at Japanese consumers from Japanese developers, Sony Computer Entertainment senior VP Masayasu Ito told Polygon in an interview today.
Third-parties in Japan have been focusing their efforts on portable platforms like PlayStation Vita, Ito said in a roundtable discussion at Sony's headquarters today, and many haven't "embarked on the development of PS4 titles." The February 2014 launch of PS4 is timed with the availability of certain Japanese software titles, he said.
The Feb. 22 release date...
Metal Gear Solid 5 torture scene won't be playable, says Kojima
A torture scene from Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will exist only as a cutscene, not a playable part of the game, said director Hideo Kojima in an interview with Eurogamer.
"I didn't want to go as far as having playable torture," said Kojima. "The part of Metal Gear Solid 5 that has torture is non-playable."
When asked if such scenes are necessary in games, Kojima responded in the affirmative, saying that in the case of The Phantom Pain, the torture cutscene is emotionally important for the story he's trying to tell.
"If the violence will give new emotions that are important to...
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood's puzzles hide a surprising difficulty
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood's young protagonist and bright visuals might make it seem like a kid-friendly platformer, but its physics-based puzzles actually provide a surprising amount of challenge.
During a hands-on demo at TGS 2013, the game's crayon-doodling mechanics — which we first tried during E3 earlier this year — were explored a bit deeper, showing exactly how Max would have to chain together drawn objects to move around the environment. When prompted by an "inkwell" somewhere in the environment, Max can use his magic marker to create objects belonging to different elements,...
Swery's Kinect-powered D4 is just as bizarre as you expected
D4, the Xbox One exclusive episodic mystery game from Deadly Premonition creator Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro, shows that the eccentric director hasn't strayed from the outlandishness that made his last title a cult classic — in fact, if the TGS 2013 demo I attended today is any indication, he's leaning into it in a big, big way.
D4, which stands for Dark Dreams Don't Die, plays out something like an adventure game. It follows the time-traveling plight of David Young, who is able to travel into past memories using objects called Mementos, in an attempt to solve the murder of his love interest...
The odd math of Xbox One's profiles and controllers
One of the more surprising, unexpected announcements to come out of the Xbox One over the past few months is the revelation that it would support eight simultaneous controllers — but that number doesn't quite match up with the six simultaneous Xbox Live profiles that can run on a single system.
Earlier this month, Microsoft revealed those numbers through the Xbox One's product page, which explained that six users — either using accounts native to the Xbox One they're playing on, or brought over from their own home consoles — can be signed in at any one time. All six users can have control...
PS4 hardware loss will be recouped with PS Plus and game sales, Sony says
Sony expects to take an unspecified loss on PlayStation 4 hardware when the system launches later this year, but will quickly recoup those losses on the sale of games and PlayStation Plus subscriptions, senior VP Masayasu Ito said in a roundtable interview today.
Ito said the sale of peripherals will also help contribute to initial losses on PS4 hardware, a figure he said he couldn't comment on.
"I cannot talk in detail about the [financial] contribution of each item," Ito said through a translator, "but in terms of cost of development it's very different from the PlayStation 3. We will...
Tales of Xillia 2 TGS trailer hints at a mysterious time-altering choice
Tales of Xillia 2 will task players with making one very important, weighty choice, according to the latest English trailer for the game unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show today.
The trailer above focuses on characters Elle and Ludger and offers scant details on a mysterious trial. Ludger, who possesses the power to travel to and destroy alternate timelines running alongside the real world's is hired by a company to do just this — the spirit Origin, which previously helped maintain balance, can no longer sustain the high amount of souls, necessitating the demise of many in other worlds....
Hands-on with Capcom's Deep Down for PlayStation 4
Capcom's first PlayStation 4 game, Deep Down, is certainly pretty, if (currently) a little shallow, based on our hands-on time with the medieval-meets-modern-day dungeon crawler.
As the first major Japanese-developed PS4 game, Deep Down drew large crowds and long lines at the PlayStation booth at Tokyo Game Show. The third-person action game is certainly impressive from a visual standpoint, largely thanks to its gorgeous photorealistic lighting effects and stunning high-resolution textures.
Gameplay-wise, however, Deep Down isn't particularly impressive yet.
The TGS demo offers just a...
Soul Sacrifice Delta TGS trailer shows grotesque and fantastic creatures
A Tokyo Game Show 2013 trailer for an updated version of PS Vita action title Soul Sacrifice focuses on the new abilities and enemies added this time around.
The narration is entirely in Japanese, but the images on-screen speak mostly for themselves. Players will be able to align themselves with one of three magic factions: Avalon, Sanctuary and Grim. With their newfound powers they can do battle against hordes of nasty-looking fantasy beasts, turning the world upside down and raising the ground to better deal with flying foes.
Soul Sacrifice Delta will have improved graphics and AI from...
Puzzle-platformer Constant C heading to Xbox Live Arcade
Today at the Tokyo Game Show, developer IGS and publisher Mages announced that Constant C, a 2D puzzle-platformer recently approved for Steam Greenlight, is headed to Xbox Live Arcade in Spring 2014.
The game stars a silhouetted, big-headed main character wearing what look like oversized headphones. He or she is surrounded by a bubble, and the world's time and gravity are frozen everywhere except inside that bubble. So puzzles come from knowing when to touch objects with the bubble, and then moving the character based on what happens.
For instance, in the version of the game on display at...
Sony to launch library of PS3 games through Gaikai in 2014
Sony will launch a digital library of PlayStation 3 games through its Gaikai-powered cloud services in North America next year, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said during a roundtable interview at the Tokyo Game Show today.
IGN reports Yoshida confirmed users will be able to stream this library of games to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and through the recently-announced PS Vita TV. Currently there is no information on when the service will launch in Europe.
A "decent number" of games will be available when the service starts, but Sony plans to expand the library...
Ace Combat Infinity TGS trailer shows the aftermath of an asteroid apocalypse
A new trailer for flight combat game Ace Combat Infinity focuses on the game's backstory.
In 1994, an asteroid cluster called Ulysses was discovered to be on a long collision course with Earth, with thousands of fragments estimated to make landfall. Though a railgun network was able to prevent total catastrophe, the world's order was shattered and a new zone was carved out of Russia to house all the world's refugees.
As a pilot in a mercenary company working for the United Nations, the chaos of the world is your benefit. The better you perform, the more they pay you.
Ace Combat Infinity...
Lightning must save her old nemesis in Lighting Returns: Final Fantasy 13
Lightning is tasked with saving the souls of humanity's remnants in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13, but the most important — and most difficult — soul to save may be that of her former nemesis, the godlike Caius Ballad, according to the game's latest trailer.
The trailer above begins with an ominous message for our pink-haired heroine as she prepares for the end of the world: "There are no souls here for you to save, just dead people, waiting for the end to come."
Viewers are treated to another montage of Lightning in various costumes slashing down enemies and facing down the people...
Deep Down TGS trailer shows dungeon diving, hideous monsters and magic
The latest trailer for Capcom's fantasy role-playing game Deep Down shows armored knights taking up arms against hideous monsters in stonewalled dungeons, as well as a brief look at a ghostly high-tech city.
Playing over the action is a string of voices in various languages and dialects, speaking of a world they once knew and the danger our playable hero will face in the caves ahead. During a press conference held by Sony early last week, it was revealed that the game's series of caves will be randomly generated and the setting is New York City circa 2094.
Deep Down will launch for...
Crimson Dragon priced at $19.99, trailer introduces the planet Draco
Crimson Dragon, the new rail shooter from the creator of Panzer Dragoon, will cost $19.99 when it launches alongside the Xbox One on Nov. 22 in North America, publisher Microsoft Studios announced today.
Customers who buy the game by the end of 2013 will receive an exclusive playable dragon.
The company also released a new trailer that shows off the planet Draco, which was supposed to offer "a new beginning" for humanity. However, it proves initially inhospitable, thanks to all the dragons that come out to attack the would-be settlers. It's the first new footage of the game...
Final Fantasy 10 and 10-2 HD set to launch in NA this winter
Final Fantasy 10 and 10-2 HD will launch this winter in North America for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Square Enix announced today in a post on the PlayStation Blog.
Both titles will be available on the same disc for PS3 and separately on Vita, and will support cross-saving on both platforms. The titles will feature content from the International versions of the games, including features that were previously not available in North America.
Players who pre-order the game will receive a Limited Edition art book bundle featuring original concept art from early on in the games'...
Kojima walks viewers through Metal Gear Solid 5 in new TGS footage
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will feature several major tweaks to the series' classic stealth and takedown mechanics, as shown in a new gameplay trailer unveiled during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference.
In the video posted above, series creator Hideo Kojima narrates the gameplay, walking viewers through a stealth section of the Ground Zeroes prologue portion of the game. The footage is similar to a demo shown earlier this month at Kojima Productions' new Los Angeles studio.
Earlier this month Kojima shared that he asked the game's designers to make its main female...
New Gravity Rush title teased by Sony in latest trailer
A new project relating to PS Vita title Gravity Rush is getting teased in a trailer from developer Team Gravity, a department within Sony's Japan Studio.
While little information about the game is available, the trailer offers a look at environment art as well as a glimpse of protagonist Kat. The teaser trailer ends with the words "Fall again" and "a new project by Team Gravity". It's unknown whether this refers to a sequel to the original game or DLC.
Gravity Rush launched last year in North America and Europe. We've reached out to Sony for comment on this new title and will update when...
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Naruto costume crossover announced
Yesterday at its corporate headquarters in Japan, Namco Bandai announced a promotion for Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, the four-player co-op brawler revealed back in July.
Similar to how players who purchased Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 early received a Dragon Ball Goku costume, now players who purchase Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z early will receive a Naruto Sage Mode costume. It's part of the "day one edition" for the game to encourage players to purchase it early.
Namco is currently planning to release Battle of Z in the U.S. in early 2014 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita...

Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story creator Yasumi Matsuno working on new mobile tactics game
Yasumi Matsuno, whose works include Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy 12 and games in the Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics series, is working on two new titles under the name Unsung Story. One is a digital card game being developed by French board game designer Christophe Boelinger; the other, said to be the centerpiece of Unsung Story's world, is a more traditional tactics-style video game envisioned by Matsuno. That game's title is Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians.
The games are part of a collaboration with Carlsbad, Calif.-based Playdek, the developer of hobby and tabletop games for...
Pac-Man turns to multiplayer as the franchise seeks reinvention
A trio of Pac-Man games are in the works at Namco Bandai, each of which hope to cater to a different audience — from the old diehards to the newcomers, whose age might have kept them from knowing the franchise as intimately as the first group.
Those three titles have unique ways of achieving those goals: Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ — which will be delivered as a free update to the current version of Championship Edition DX — pulls at the heartstrings of classic Pac-Man players, giving them a more challenging, competition-based version of the classic game. Pac-Man and the Ghostly...
Monster Hunter: Frontier G coming to PS Vita in 2014

Monster Hunter: Frontier G save files can be shared across the PS Vita and PlayStation 3 versions. The game will also support cross-platform multiplayer capability across the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita platforms. You can see the PS Vita version in action in the trailer above.
Monster Hunter: Frontier G first launched on in Japan for Windows PC in 2007 and was ported to Xbox 360 in 2010. It will...
Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers' fights focus on resource management
Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers looks and sounds like a complex fighting game, chock-full of intricate button combos and multitudes of powers to utilize in battle — but it's actually an extremely simple affair to understand.
During a hands-on demo session during publisher Namco Bandai's pre-Tokyo Game Show event, Saint Seiya's simplicity was quickly evident. Though its gameplay is centered on one-on-one combat, it more closely resembles a combo-centric action game rather than a fighting game. That parallel holds up especially well with regards to controls: fighters are mostly limited to light,...
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle headed to the US in 2014
At a press event in Japan yesterday, Namco Bandai announced Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is on the way for a U.S. release next year.
The stylish head-to-head fighting game initially sold more than 400,000 copies when Namco released it in Japan in August, but ran into criticism surrounding how its microtransaction business model asks players to pay to speed up the process of unlocking items.
Since the game's release in Japan, Namco and developer CyberConnect2 have responded to these complaints by decreasing the amount of time players have to wait if they choose not to pay, and...
PS4 PlayStation App for Android and iOS available in November

Hands-on with the PS Vita TV, a little box with a lot of diversity
The PS Vita TV is being positioned as a Swiss army knife for Sony's burgeoning video game ecosystem — a kind of jack-of-all-trades that touches on elements the company has already explored with its other hardware. If you need any more proof of that, you need simply to observe the Vita TV's demo station at TGS 2013, which has a plethora of hands-on experiences — from PSOne emulation to manga viewing — that you can have with the device.
Its functionality is inarguably broad; but some of those functions work better than others.
As a machine for playing PSOne Classics, it's quite adept. Games...
PS4 will support video capture of games over HDMI
Sony's next-generation console, the PlayStation 4, will allow video capture of games over HDMI, the company announced during its Tokyo Game Show 2013 keynote today.

Sony home console division president Masayasu Ito announced during the keynote speech that PlayStation Network users on PS4 will be able to identify themselves using their real name. According to Ito, the move is to encourage...
PlayStation 4's real name IDs designed to bring in casual players
PlayStation Network users on PS4 will be able to identify themselves using their real name, a move designed to court casual players, Sony home console division president Masayasu Ito explained during today's TGS 2013 keynote speech.
"Basically so far, PSN ID can be available under PS4, but there is a way we decided to do real name registration, is because we wanted to encourage casual users to join our world," Ito said via a translator. "The hardcore users didn't mind using an anonymous name, but when casual users get a request from an anonymous name, do you think they'd accept it quickly?...
Sony hopes to sell 5 million PlayStation 4 consoles by March 2014

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono discusses Deep Down's first playable turn at TGS
Since Capcom first showed it at the original PlayStation Meeting back in February where Sony announced the PlayStation 4, the company hasn't said a great deal about Deep Down, their PS4-only online title. The game was a no-show at E3, and it was only at Sony's PS4 conference last week that we got to see a bit more of the high-fantasy title in action. That's changing at the Tokyo Game Show this week, where visitors can play the in-progress title for the first time.
As executive producer Yoshinori Ono told Famitsu magazine in an interview published this week, Deep Down and the PlayStation 4...

It's set in the same world as its predecessor, the PlayStation Portable game Final Fantasy Type-0 (image above), which was released in Japan in October 2011.

Hands-on with the rounder, lighter new PS Vita
The new PlayStation Vita's facade is very, very similar to the current model, but that veneer hides a fairly huge overhaul that really only becomes apparent after you hold the upcoming redesign with your own two hands.
A single demo station for the new model present at a gaming megastore in Tokyo's electronics-stuffed Akihabara district let passersby go hands-on with the new model, which is slated to hit Japanese store shelves this October. From afar, the changes that are being made to the new model aren't especially apparent — aside from the now rounded-out Start, Select and Home buttons...

Square Enix devs discuss Lightning Returns ahead of TGS presentation

On July 27, Square Enix held a "premium experience" event in Japan where 180 members of SCE Japan Asia's online community got a chance to play Lightning Returns. A near-complete build of the game, no less, one fairly well advanced of the E3 demo.
"There were people who couldn't defeat Zartis, the dragon you fight at the end of the tutorial section," game design director Yuji Abe said in an interview with...
Gran Turismo 6 producer talks physics engines, smartphone linkups, and the presumed GT7
Gran Turismo 6 is hitting the PlayStation 3 worldwide on December 6, although (as Sony announced at a press conference Monday) it'll be reaching stores a day earlier in Japan. When Famitsu asked producer Kazunori Yamauchi how far along the game was at this point, he couldn't help but laugh a bit in response.
"It's something that I get asked in every interview," he replied. "It's really hard to give an accurate answer to that. The basic components are already complete, so overall I'd have to say about 80 percent. The physics engine, the steering controls; those parts of the user interface...
Sega goes mad scientist, mashes up Tetris and Puyo Puyo into single multiplatform puzzlefest
Among the games Sega is planning to show off at the Tokyo Game Show next week is Puyo Puyo Tetris, a title revealed in this week's Famitsu magazine. The latest in Sega's Puyo series of falling-blob match-em-up puzzlers, this one combines Puyo Puyo with Tetris in a literal way — two players compete against each other using either game they want, even if one is Tetris-ing and the other's Puyo-ing.
"This project got kicked off because we wanted to bring excitement to these two games, the forefront of the action-puzzle genre," said series producer Mizuki Hosoyamada. "When you lose a Puyo Puyo...

Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested 11 minors – including five less than 18 years old – at an Evansville underage drinking party this weekend.
Officers received a complaint about an underage drinking party at the 1800 S. Fuquay Road in Knight Township shortly after midnight Sunday.
When they arrived, officers found 11 minors, five of whom were less than 18 years of age, who had allegedly been consuming alcoholic beverages at the party.
Two tested .16% BAC or higher.
One of the 17 year olds cited for underage drinking was also ticketed by the same excise officer for juvenile possession of tobacco at Eastland Mall less than eight hours before.
All 11 minors who were accused of illegal consumption of alcohol will appear in Vanderburgh Misdemeanor or Juvenile Court on later dates.
The five who were less than 18 years old were released to their parents.

Hillsborough campaigner: 'Location is a good decision'
Kenny Derbyshire, Hillsborough Justice Campaign chair and Hillsborough survivor, said of today's announcement:
It's a very good decision. We're made up with it.
The families didn't want to have to move down to London, so this is for the families.
I've spoken to a number of families today and they're delighted.
With two campaign groups, unfortunately you will get disagreements from time to time. But I'm sure everyone will be delighted with the decision.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhile you probably wouldn't know it based on the minuscule amount of advertising done for the film (at least compared to headline-grabbing flicks like "Les Mis" and "Zero Dark Thirty"), there's a new movie opening in limited release this weekend (and wide on Jan. 4), which reunites the "Good Will Hunting" team of director Gus Van Sant and co-writer/star Matt Damon. Called "Promised Land," the film stars John Krasinksi (who co-wrote the screenplay with Damon) and Rosemarie DeWitt, and takes a close look at the controversial energy-extraction process known as fracking.
However, "Promised Land" is way more commercial than they're letting on, with an agreeably rebel-rousing vibe, lush cinematography and a beautiful score by Tim Burton confederate Danny Elfman. But is it enough to wrestle you away from "Les Miserables" or "Lincoln" this New Year's, or is it destined for late-December obscurity, along with a similar host of would-be contenders?
PRO: The Cast In "Promised Land," Matt Damon stars as an operative for a major energy outfit. Here, he is sent to a small New England town to try and gain public support for fracking, a potentially dangerous process in which water and chemicals are fired deep into the earth to try and extract natural gas. Damon successfully fills his performance with a stew of optimism mixed with self-loathing (the star has cited the leads of Elia Kazan movies as an inspiration). Co-star Frances McDormand, as his put-upon partner in crime who isn't nearly as morally conflicted as he is, is terrific, as is John Krasinski, who is both charming and a little bit weasel-y as an environmental advocate sent to dismantle Damon's campaign. Using the likability and goodwill he's accumulated from his stint on "The Office" (except with a little more edge), Krasinksi is a new kind of goofy hero here. And as the love interest of both men, Rosemarie DeWitt is tremendous as a small-town teacher who knows exactly how dire the economic situation is (and still manages to do what's right).
CON: The Subject Matter Might Be Off-Putting Fracking is such a controversial subject that we were explicitly asked not to talk about it during the movie's press day. ("It's not about fracking!" was the common refrain.) For much of the country, this is an issue that they are intimately aware of, and for many small American towns on the brink of financial ruin, the process can provide large (if fleeting) economic gains. However, that the same process could devastate whole swaths of countryside (and make things like the water toxic and flammable) doesn't seem to factor in, as long as they can keep their farms just a little bit longer. The fact that this issue is wrapped inside a feel-good, "Norma Rae"-style movie won't make it any more palpable.
PRO: At Least They're Talking About It The movie might be unpleasant for those who have to deal with this scenario (and, of course, protests erupted over the movie's content before anyone had actually seen it), but at least the discussion is being had. It could be years before this subject is brought up again. You can make fun of Hollywood all you like, but sometimes they really are willing to confront things head-on (and ahead of time). This is one of those instances.
PRO: Gus Van Sant Kills It Gus Van Sant is one of those directors who is so consistently excellent that you kind of take advantage of how good he really is. With "Promised Land," Van Sant took over from Damon, who was originally slated to direct, and distinctly made it his own. What could have been a typical bit of lefty sentiment is instead something odd and affecting. Visually, Van Sant fills the frame with painterly landscapes of Pennsylvania (where the film was shot) and its watercolor skies, and handles sequences with crisply edited montages. Even when Van Sant falters (like his shot-for-shot "Psycho" remake), he still fascinates. Thankfully, "Promised Land" is a Gus Van Sant triumph.
CON: The Twist It should be noted that "Promised Land" has a twist towards the end. It's not exactly a revelatory, M. Night Shyamalan-style twist that re-contextualizes everything that came before it, but it is substantial and you could go back and re-watch the movie with a new set of eyes. Honestly, we are normally all for a small scale drama adding a bit of intrigue to the proceedings, but here it feels out of place. The problem with it -- and this is without giving anything away -- is that it seems a little too sneaky for a movie that was so pleasantly by-the-book.
PRO: Danny Elfman's Score While primarily known for his baroque contributions to Tim Burton's films -- filled with choral sections and big, booming themes -- composer Danny Elfman is also able to create smaller, more melancholy pieces, many of them for Van Sant. Their newest collaboration is one of their best -- full of twinkly, organic-sounding flourishes that establish mood and also drive the narrative forward. The music isn't just wallpaper; it's something much more. It's also the perfect cap to a nearly unparalleled year for Elfman, which included peerless scores for "Hitchcock," "Frankenweenie," "Dark Shadows," "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Men in Black 3." Whew, he must be tired.
"Promised Land" opens wide on January 4
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article stated that the movie opened last weekend, when it in fact opens this Friday in select cities, including Atlanta, Boca Raton, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC. It will open wide on January 4

PRESIDIO - An Odessa man who died in a head on collision with an ambulance last Friday in Presidio has been identified.
State Troopers say Rudolfo Sotelo-Guanespen was driving on Highway 67 in bad weather when he hit the ambulance head on.

I'm sure by now, most of you have heard about this story-
It's hard to tell if this is really a legit incident or not. But I will say this, I would not be suprised to find it is true. I have heard of much worse in Cleveland Stadium from my friends who are Browns fans. & just like any team, its the minority that are idiots & make an entire fan base look bad(unless you're an Eagles fan, they're all jackasses).
But I have heard of a teenage guy getting his soda takin & dumped over his head (he wore Bengals gear). Countless stories about things done to Steelers fans(who probablly deserved it!!). I know of a Steelers fan getting beatin by 3 Browns fans, having his jersey ripped off & thrown over the railing out of the stadium. A Steeler fans tires getting slashed, a Steelers fan having their truckbed crapped in by multiple fans(he had a giant Steelers logo on the back. Idiot). & a few more things. But never anything done to a child!!
However, I have seen pictures of a little girl 6-8yrs old who had her nachos dumped on her by Bengals fans for wearing a Broncos jersey. Not even a divisional rival(not that there is ever an acceptable reason for this behavior, but there isnt even a rivalry here), but the Broncos. I also saw pics of the douche who dumped said nachos after the dad of the girl knocked him over two rows of seats!!
Anyways, my whole point is this: Thank you fellow Titans fans, for keeping it classy. I have made the trip with fans of other teams multiple times & never had a single problem. While I would like to hear a little more smack thrown their way, it is nice to know that when my 2yr old son is old enough to appriciate football, I can bring him down to Nashville & know that we will enjoy the game w/o having to worry about as much stupidity as elswhere in the leauge.
