I thought it was a strong episode also but did anyone else notice some editing problems? I thought the action advanced rather quickly at a couple of points. For example when Mama Lance was taken by Nyssa and the next thing you know Ollie and Sara are in hot pursuit aboard the Arrow-cycle. It seemed like quite a leap in the story.
I was curious if Arrow was going to bring back Katrina Law but after checking her IMDB page she's only credited for one episode. With Jessica De Gouw returning as the Huntress for another episode later on, you'd think Law would be an important addition. I'm not sure if that episode is going to be called "Birds of Prey" but they should and maybe they can spin it off and revitalize that now defunct series. Any one have any info on Law's return?
I thought the absence of Roy was strange. You would think that someone being kidnapped and was part of your second family you would want all hands on deck especially given Nyssa's lineage.
I also thought the editing was messed up and I dont' feel that they have made a great case for why Oliver should be that pissed off that his mom hid the truth about Thea. Considering the father you could make a great case about trying to protect her. Also considering all of the lies Oliver lives daily kind of the pot calling the kettle black.
Last night episode Heir to the Demon I give eight out of ten. the fight scenes was action pack and a lot of drama. I particularly like the scene where Felicity confronts Moira about Thea being the biological child of Malcolm Merlyn. In typical Moira fashion she automatically went to threats but my girl Felicity never wavered and never showed any fear. Moira " If you tell Oliver he would hate me but also hate you".
Felicity being Felicity did the right thing and told Oliver the truth. Oliver momentarily swallowed his anger to support his mother running for mayor . Behind closed doors Oliver confronted his mother with the truth and told his mother that they no longer have a personnel relationship. I am not to worried Oliver will forgive his mother in time but by then it will probably be to late. Meanwhile the Lance family is under attack and the daughter of Ra,s Al Ghul demands that Sarah returns home with her.. Surprise , Surprise Sarah had an intimate relationship with the daughter of Ras Al Ghul. What is it with you people and same sex relationships? I don't support it and I don't agree with it, Its disgusting! It doesn,t make any sense. Back to the show to save her mother, Sarah poison herself to save her mother by forcing the person that kidnapped her mothers hand. What a stupid way to do that! This is the league of Assasins that Sarah is dealing with not your common criminal. Sarah should have known better! She is extremely lucky that the Arrow showed up and save her otherwise her empty grave would have been filled. Well done Oliver at least you were there to save Sarah from her own stupidity for once. When its all said and done Laurel finds out that her sister is alive by showing up at the warehouse with the police,, in time to see her parents embracing her younger sister. what a warm family reunion"Not", back at Laurel,s apartment everything that Laurel has been keeping inside for the last six years finally explodes. She blames Sarah for her parents getting a divorce, she blames Sarahf for being with her boyfriend and she screams at Sarah by telling to get out of her apartment. All this while she is downing a glass of Vodka , she would have down the vodka if she did not throw it at her sisters head. where did Sarah go after this did she go for a walk, to a movie to cool off ?No she went to Oliver and end up embracing each other Physically. I don't know where you are headed at with this but if you want to increase Laurels image with the public this is not the way to do it. Now this action w ill give the fans more excuse to be against Laurel. I know Sarah has her own fan base out there and are you sure you guys want Laurel to stay? In regards to Oliver for a man that's suppose to be redeeming himself he is making a lot of his own mistakes. I thought Arrow is suppose to be a show about redemption , where is it? I know OLiver and Laurel are technically not together in the present but you would think giving what has happen in the past and how bad Oliver was supposivly felt about it; I thought he would have more respect for Laurel and her family given what happen in the past. And that he would have stayed away from Sarah especially sexually. when will you allow Oliver to get the hint? As far as writing goes I feel bad for Oliver as a character because you are not allowing him to grow and change as much as you originally portrayed. Last but not least the end of the episode where Slade was watching Moira,s speech with brother blood all I can say is . I am surprise how calm Slade was as he watch. I would not be surprise if by the end of the season Slade takes the life of Sebastian Blood. PS: why are you keeping the truth from Thea? You knows she is going to find out eventually. Why not have her mother tell Thea the truth and do the right thing for once. Now Oliver is now keeping the truth from Thea too.. I am a great fan of the writers of Arrow but to be honest I disagree with some of the choices they have made for this season so far. This makes me afraid for the future of Arrow. All my other shows ha ve gone south and Arrow may possibly be headed in the same direction.
I absolutely love Arrow. Season 2 – not so much. The actress playing Sara is AWFUL. Caity Lotz is probably one of the worst actresses I have ever seen on television. She is ruining the show.
Why didn't you use the original Sara on the boat – I think she is on the Bold & Beautiful – she is absolutely amazing. and what is wrong with Laurel – she looks like she has lost too much weight. Please fix the Sara part, please….
enjoyed the episode, but very upset, and almost quit watching, because the shows always have to show this same sex stuff, why can't you leave a good thing alone. Hopefully they won't bring that stuff back again.
dont really like the sara actress… she should die off and laurel should take up the black canary act… overall, i think this was one of the most boring episodes from both seasons… no roy, and unnecessary flashbacks to 6 years ago…
Can any1 tell me the name of the song of min 40:50 or smth like that ? please ? it's awsome
I am really loving The Arrow right now, and as someone who is a comic and animated series fan, I have been pretty blown away. This season has me pretty much on the end of my seat every episode but I will list a few complaints. Please stop inserting Batman villains without giving me an appearance by Bruce Wayne. I am waiting for the Joker to pop up as a catty throw away for season 3. I don't mind Sara because at her best she someone who loves openly and tries to see the best in everyone, unfortunately she literally loves everyone. I sympathize with her using her body to survive but please don't mistake physical intimacy for love. Other than that I will continue to keep watching because I'm an addict and for the vain hope that Bruce Wayne shows up.
really wish olliver would stop sleeping with every and build up and focous on the relationship with felicity more.really love the show……loven stephen amelle x
Great episode!! The song is amazing, right? It's Active Child – Silhouette Feat. (Ellie Goulding).
I love this show.
I like the Sara Black Canary, I do, except, her character goes back and forth a lot. Oliver gets on the freighter, she kicks him. Then offer him a way to escape, and turns on him again, risking the lives of his friends on the island. In this episode, she tells him she wants to go back to the league then tells Nyssa she'll never go back. And I guess, every time her sister pisses her off, she goes and make out with Oliver.
I have to admit I'm not usually a fan of Laurel, but these last two episodes, she was fantastic. Maybe because they actually gave her some lines.
Between Moira and Blood, I don't know which would be a worst Mayor for the city, they are both liars and have lots of secrets. Moira is one bad lady. And that actress that plays her is superb, because every time she's not lying or deceiving someone, I completely forget she's even capable of that kind of malicious behavior.
Does Oliver even have a right to be upset at his mom for lying? He hasn't told her any of his secrets. Besides, if he knows it's going to hurt Thea when she finds out, then shouldn't he understand how hard it would have been for Moira to tell him and Thea herself.
I love Felicity! No complaints there, lol
Love love love the fighting scenes
Love Diggle, love Team Arrow
how can i watch these episodes…. plx tell me…
Great show …great stories. Can't wait for Slade to unleash his wrath! Hope Moira doesn't unleash hers on
our girl Felicity … since Oliver's cut off his personal ties with her. Action is outstanding on this TV show. Sara has joined Team Arrow – will be interesting to see the dynamics of the team in the upcoming episodes. With Roy, Oliver and Sara's physical strength, they have a formidable team! Diggle needs more lines too I thought …he's suddenly taken a back seat and dont see much of him. Sara and Laurel relationship – a shame after all these years Laurel still is so upset ..hopefully she will come around. Can't wait for the next episode! Go Slade Wilson and do your thing! Go Manu go!
I really want to see more oliver and felecity!!!!!!They are amazing together!!!!#great eps!
This series is really full of action and adventurous. wow. cant wait to see the new arrow squad. i mean Roy Sara and the man himself oliver and specialist Felicity and diggle. it gonna be fun seeing slade and olivier battling it out
am i the only the that thinks its gross oliver is banged laurel and is now with her sister? serioulsy why are people ok with that storyline
I can do without the lesbian stuff. I hope that is over with. Other than that it was another great episode. It'll be interesting to see if Laurel turns into a villain or something to get back at Oliver and Sara. Maybe she will join forces with Slade. We'll see. This show is always entertaining.
Oh, and Roy/Red Arrow should be in every episode. He's a good character. And there should be more air time for Diggle. Those guys are good actors and the characters are interesting.
thi is great and my best movie
what's gross is 2 sisters sleeping with the same guy…. eeewwww!! I get it – Oliver is irresistible, but where's the self-respect???? hence, I have no respect for the characters Laurel, and Sara…. total turn off.
sadly, men will be men… especially given good looks, fame, and fortune.
Enjoyed the episode so far this season has been progressing well. As for sara's relationship with nyssa. I thought it added another layer to her character. As for some people having issues with it I would hope it is in context to the storyline and not just blind bigotry.
I loved this episode and can not wait till tonight to watch it.
Do you think that Moira (Oliver's Mom) will get back at Felicity Smoak for telling him that his sister comes from a different father?
I do like the arrow episodes, I liked this one too, although I do nt understand y Sara hs to b bisexual. Bt it's ok, she did sm bad things. Wat im tickd off about is the whole Sara n Ollie thing. Ma sis saw it coming cz it's typical Hollywood bt I said no, Ollie hs learnd his lesson. I screamd my head out at their making out scene. N he hs the mouth to condemn moira. Im so disappointd im nt sur I want to c the next episode

N.C. Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker, a former Duke Energy executive and former chairwoman of the Charlotte Chamber board, is leading Gov. Pat McCrorys effort to revamp the states economic development system and bring down its unemployment rate, which stood at 8.7 percent in August, the latest month for which figures are available.
Shes been touring the state talking about the changes and listening to residents suggestions on improving the economy. She sat down with the Observer to talk about her efforts. Answers have been edited for brevity and clarity.
Q So what are you hearing as you travel the state?
A There is a sense of despair I hear in rural communities. A great deal of anxiety around what the future looks like. Part of our challenge at the state is helping folks understand what they have to work with, changing the business climate, doing those things from a policy standpoint that make it easier to get businesses started. Were trying to reignite communities passion for rebuilding.
Q What are the obstacles?
A Our rural communities, in particular, are aging. But our state is urbanizing. Part of the challenge is thinking about rural economies differently. There probably will be, rather than lots of independent little towns, hubs of growth where folks commute for work. And that can be healthy. We have to think about micro-regions.
If you look at Rutherford, Cleveland, Polk, McDowell counties, what Ive begun to refer to as the Foothills Crescent, those communities are more alike than they are like Asheville or than they are like Charlotte.
Q How do you see the states education system fitting into the development picture?
A I was recently in a community that has done a very good job getting sites ready for development. Its on an interstate highway, so the infrastructures in pretty good shape. But their educational systems among the worst in the state.
And really, until that gets a different result, its going to be hard to recruit business to that area. Im not sure weve fully understood that factor. To begin to look at that as an economic development factor is a critical piece of what this administration wants to make clear. You cant separate those two.
Q Well, the McCrory administration has been taking a lot of heat lately from teachers upset over low pay and other issues.
A I think youre going to see in this short (legislative) session that (issue) addressed. I know the governor is very focused on it. Hes been spending a lot of energy and a lot of time around it, saying, What do we need to do to right the ship?
Q Youre creating a statewide public-private partnership to take over the job of marketing and selling the state to outside companies. Youre also trying to hire a CEO for that job. What qualities are you looking for in that person?
A I want a C-suite executive, someone who knows how to manage an operation, particularly someone who has done a startup or turnaround. Because a startup is what it is. Secondly, someone whos passionate about North Carolina.
Ive looked at some candidates from outside of the state, but in this initial assignment, it needs to be someone who understands the culture and some of the change were going through. I also want someone who has not been engaged in the political process.
Im looking for someone with integrity. Thats really important, particularly as we establish that the standards and practices we put in our bylaws are all above board.
We anticipate that well have a new CEO on in the next few weeks, then first-quarter implementation of phase one. That will be the business development piece, the recruiters and the folks who are working with existing business. Phase two will be small business, international trade and tourism. Itll probably be April, early May before we make that transition.
Q Concerns have been raised about transparency and potential conflicts of interest that could arise from any public-private partnership in which leaders from major corporations join the state in recruiting new industry.
A You probably read the Good Jobs First report (which found that some such partnerships in other states had fallen victim to pay-to-play scandals and other ethical issues). None of that was surprising because wed done our research during the transition and when I came aboard to look at the types of partnerships around the country. And there have been some problems, no doubt about it. That really dictated how we want to approach this.
So all of the grant-making will stay on the public side. The privatized sales and marketing functions will not do the grant-making themselves. They will work with the client, identify what the opportunity is, and then the grant-making function on the public side will manage that process. Thats one place a number of states didnt do well.
Were going to have in our bylaws the caveat that if youre on the (partnership) board and your company is coming forward with a grant, youve got to remove yourself from that conversation.
Q How do you see the existing regional partnerships fitting in, particularly the ones in Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro that have said they expect to continue their own job recruitment efforts?
A Heres how Im beginning to see it shaping out: Our objective was to say were going to move the state dollars from a regional level to the state level, and were going to promote North Carolina again. Were going to aggressively market the state, knowing that if the regional partners are adding value at a regional level, their private partners will continue to fund them.
Whats already beginning to happen is what wed hoped would happen, and that is that they begin to rethink what they do. I will tell you that the Charlotte, Triangle and Triad partnerships had a relationship, but its safe to say they didnt work together. So when all three of them showed up in my office a few months ago, I was a little nervous. But they came to say, Were going to market together the Interstate 85 corridor, I was very pleased.
Q Youve spoken about there being a skills gap, where manufacturers are looking for skilled workers but cant find them. What is being done about that?
A Around my table growing up, my daddy would say to me, You can grow up and be and do anything you want to, but for Gods sake, dont come back and work in a mill. And we said that for two generations. And agriculturally, weve said the same thing. And now were in an economy where we need them in advanced manufacturing, and we need them in agribusiness.
Q What are your thoughts on the struggle between the city and suburban Mecklenburg lawmakers over who should run Charlotte Douglas International Airport?
A I dont know what the governance structure ought to be. I do know we need a healthy airport in Charlotte. This hub is very, very important to our economy. Whatever the answer is as to how it needs to be managed, we need to get it resolved. If theres one thing that has been underscored for me, its that uncertainty is one of the strongest detriments to economic development. Businesses want to know what to expect. So resolve it quickly, and lets focus on continuing to operate a fantastic hub.
Q How well-positioned are we to compete against neighboring states?
A Were very competitive. Weve got to get faster in our decision-making, and thats a driver to the reorganization. We need to be more flexible in how we put together what we offer. For example, I would put our workforce offerings, our customized worker retraining programs that the community colleges offer, up against anyone. But weve not done a good job packaging them so that its understandable.
Theres a lot of conversation these days about mega-sites, should we develop a site that would allow us to attract a BMW or a Boeing as South Carolina has done. We think that has to be a part of the strategy. There are several locations that are developing sites, and we are beginning to talk about what will it take to get a large deal that would give us (an employment) multiplier. We need a few more large gains in jobs to really begin to get some traction (on lowering unemployment). Weve got some great locations, but weve got to be very targeted and aggressively go after it.

Make a character with the Phantasy Star Online 2 Character Creator Demo!
Sega released the much anticipated Character Creator and Benchmark that everyone can play around with to their hearts desire.
Earlier this morning, after a few delays and hiccups, Sega released the official Phantasy Star Online 2 Character Creator and Benchmark the their japanese blog. Needless to say I was waiting for this thing to come out so I could get my PSO fix, it reminded me of when the Phantasy Star Universe Character creator got leeked 6 years ago.....
One thing I'll warn you, all the text is in japanese, but don't worry, installing the program is easy, and using the character creator is a snap since all all the options are either slider bars or image previews. The Character Creator gives you full access to all the classic PSO races (Human, Newman, Cast) and jobs (Hunter, Ranger, Force) just choose what race/gender you want, choose from one of the presets and start creating!
After playing around with it for a few..... hours I'm pretty impressed with the amount of options you have to tweek your character, you can pretty much tweek every part of the body, hright and weight, lots of facial options, and HATS! I've seen some pretty awesome character and some pretty crazy screwball ones. Theres not alot of options for clothes, Humans and Newmans share 6 different sets of clothes and only get 12 different colors for their clothes while Casts have only 3 different body types, but have a color wheel to change the color of several parts.
You can download the Creator from the PSO2 blog at http://pso2.jp/benchmark/download/ and clicking the blue button when you scroll down.
Well what are you waiting for? Start Creating !

I was browsing through my Google alerts for "Game AI" and this jumped out at me. It was a review of the upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on Digital Trends (who, TBH, I hadn't heard of until this). The only bit about the AI that I saw was the following paragraph:
"The cover system is similar to many other games, but you can't use it for long. The environments are partly destructible, and hiding behind a concrete wall will only be a good idea for a few moments. The enemy AI will also do everything it can to flank you, and barring that, they will fall back to better cover."
There is a sort of meta-reason I find this exciting. First, from a gameplay standpoint, having enemies that use realistic tactics makes for a more immersive experience. Second, on the meta level is the fact that this breaks from a meme that has been plaguing the industry for a while now. Every time someone suggested that enemies could—and actually should—flank the player, there was a rousing chorus of "but our players don't want to be flanked! It's not fun!"
This mentality had developed a sort of institutional momentum that seemed unstoppable for a while. Individuals, when asked, thought it was a good idea. Players, when blogging, used it as an example of how the AI was stupid. However, there seemed to be a faceless, nebulous design authority that people cited… "it's not how we are supposed to do it!"
What are we supposed to do?
One of the sillier arguments I heard against having the enemy flank the player and pop him in the head is that "it makes the player mad". I'm not arguing against the notion that the player should be mad at this… I'm arguing against the premise that "making the player mad" is altogether unacceptable.
In my lecture at GDC Austin in 2009 ("Cover Me! Promoting MMO Player Interaction Through Advanced AI" (pdf 1.6MB), I pointed out that one of the reasons that people prefer to play online games against other people is because of the dynamic, fluid nature of the combat. There is a constant ebb and flow to the encounter with a relatively tight feedback loop. The enemy does something we don't expect and we must react to it. We do something in response that they don't expect and now they are reacting to us. There are choices in play at all times… not just yours, but the enemy's as well. And yes, flanking is a part of it.
In online games, if I get flanked by an enemy (and popped in the head), I get mad as well… and then I go back for more. The next time through, I am a little warier of the situation. I have learned from my prior mistake and am now more careful. It builds tension in my body that, while having never been in combat, I have to assume is something that is somewhat characteristic of it. Not knowing where the next enemy is coming from is a part of the experience. Why not embrace it?
Something to fall back on…
The "fall-back" mechanic is something that is well-documented through Damián Isla's lectures on Halo 3. It gives a more realistic measure of "we're winning" than simply mowing through a field of endless enemies. Especially in human-on-human combat where one would assume some level of self-preservation in the mind of the enemy, having them fall back instead of dying mindlessly is a perfect balance between the two often contradictory goals of "survival" and "achieving the goal". It is this balance that makes the enemy feel more "alive" and even "human".
Often, if enemies simply fight to the death, the implication is that "they wanted to die". Beating them, at that point, is like winning against your dad when you were a kid. You just knew that he was letting you win. The victory didn't feel as good for it. In fact, many of us probably whined to our fathers, "Dad! Stop letting me win! I wanna win for real!" Believe it or not, on a subconscious level, this is making the player "mad" as well.
By given our enemies that small implication that they are trying to survive, the player is given the message that "you are powerful… they want to win but you are making them choose to live instead!"
Here's hoping that we can actually move beyond this odd artificial limitation on our AI.
[This post originally appeared on IA on AI on June 13, 2011]
|Jonathan Lawn
Players want the tools to win, but not to be handed it on a plate. The more (apparently) intelligent and the more varied (but not necessarily random) the enemy behaviour the better.
|Rebecca Phoa
In this case, FPS games and their players do want better realized game AI enemies that can do smart things so they don't feel that the game is insulting their intelligence.
What if the player says something like 'I play for the story' and increasingly gets upset because the AI routes them every time and it decreases their enjoyment of getting through the game to see the juicy non combat stuff? I see this all the time especially for people who play semi-shooter games like Deus Ex where you know the enemy AI is as dumb as bricks. So what happens is, to improve the next few games--the developer makes the AI react better. These gamers so used to bad combat and AI can't cope. Of course, better AI makes a better gameplay experience--but this was not why people ended up enjoying the original version. What then?
Asking them to dial down the difficulty may be an adequate solution, but usually that means the enemy has less HP or less defense. They are still just as smart or as dumb.
Mass Effect 1 has pretty dumb enemy AI because there is no flanking and enemies don't do a lot anyway, and it also doesn't help that the squad AI is terrible as well. They are addressing AI in Mass Effect 3 because the AI in the second game was still pretty terrible. I would end up not reviving my squad members because they would just get killed in seconds again. They would charge the enemy as they get peppered with bullets, spontaneously leap out of cover, and well just make things more annoying if you play on higher difficulty settings. Enemies would just stay in cover the whole time. The only enemies that charged you were the husks because those enemies didn't have much a choice being the equivalent of zombies.
Edit: Also what do developers mean by 'fun AI'?
|Dave Mark
(Note that "better AI" doesn't necessarily have to mean the player dies more. Think about it for a minute...)
|Rebecca Phoa
I think that since you talked specifically about combat AI, I construed the article as being solely about that. Dying in games is common, and it's my lack of knowledge about AI that leads me to believe that the reason why I die in games is that I took too much damage through brute force. I rarely get the feeling that the AI legitimately 'won.' This is why a lot of people 'kite' when dealing with mobs because it works very well at exploiting enemies.
There is some interesting AI in Elder Scrolls Oblivion that controls NPC to NPC reactions. There was one time, I saw a guard cut down another NPC for stealing an apple. I think this is a good example of AI since the logic for the guard attacking a thief is straight forward. But I've seen videos of Oblivion NPCs raking the carpet in their houses, which is not so good since the logic makes no sense.
|Janne Kohvakka
Human-like AI might use a lot of different options and "emotional states" of the NPCs than just flanking and falling back; using smoke for "danger zones" for covered movement (to flank enemies, maybe), wounded NPCs could panic or freeze in place, badly outnumbered units might try to sprint towards their allies instead of making the last blaze-of-glory... all of these things, when combined with easily recognizable animation/sounds by players will make the enemies look in deed more human-like. The balance between the depression of enemy NPC flanking ur sorry a** ;) and you doing the same, after asking cover fire by your (NPC-)teammates or executing a team of babbling enemies after well-placed stun grenade when they are practically collecting their weapons and helmets from the ground... well, I'd say please make the enemy as smart as me if you also make them as dumb (and humanly vulnerable) as me.
What I do want to see next is the NPC trying to open the same door than I just did a second ago (from the other side), and the expression on his face, when he realizes that he's half a second late in his reactions... ;)
|Christoph Kaindel
That enemy AI should make some attempt at self-preservation is an interesting point, one that is not observed in many games ... In Far Cry 2 for instance your opponents are mercenaries, fighting for money and notoriously unreliable; once you kill some of them, they should be expected to retreat or flee. But still, they will always fight to the death...
My wife and I currently play Army of Two, which relies heavily on the players flanking the enemies. Which can be hard, as they try to flank you too, take cover efficiently, and will fall back as soon as they become aware of you flanking them. It only works well if one player succeeds in distracting them and drawing their fire (the so-called "Aggro" system). I got the impression that in Army of Two: The 40th day combat was dumbed down a bit to make flanking enemies easier.
|Glenn Storm
If it weren't fall back cover or flanking behavior, it could well be something else some erroneously assume the player hates. The distinction isn't the tactic for the AI (and whether to implement it at all, or only on particular difficulty levels, whether to impede the NPC in other ways, like POV angle, etc.), it's actually all about the player experience, and specifically about how _we interpret_ the observations and reports from players about their experience to arrive at better combat designs. This is a great opportunity to stop and analyze the player situation before we draw conclusions.
It could well be like this:
Player enters an area that erupts into a firefight. Enemies pop up from behind their defensive cover and lay down their ambush, while the player ducks behind their own convenient cover. An unseen enemy, taking advantage of the fact that his comrades had the player not just pinned down behind cover, but distracted by the main ambush, simply peeks out from a hiding place flanking the player, takes a pot shot or two, and before the player knows it, they're dead.
Stop. Before we go forward, what's the player experience? Have we described everything the player went through? What came before in this game in terms of enemy behavior? In terms of combat situations?
The player who reports at this point, "It's not fun", is totally justified in their own experience. So does that mean we simply remove the part that wasn't fun? And more importantly, would we know what that is?
A very simplistic view would ask the player, "What wasn't fun?", and the response would likely be, "Where I got flanked and gunned down by an unseen enemy." And that could be the end of it: remove flanking behavior and hiding enemies because we heard directly from the player it wasn't fun. But, I assert this is selling the experience short.*
Okay, so let's dig deeper. Is there anything else that wasn't fun, or that contributed to this distinctly un-fun experience? Look at everything from what the player experienced before in terms of enemy AI, to how the hiding enemy was presented, to how the death was presented, to what the game does to restart the player, to the environment, to story, to NPC discussions, etc.
The un-fun moment described above is a confluence of multiple factors, and all of them together contribute to the player experience. Extracting the flanking and hiding behavior relieves the symptoms of this un-fun experience, but does not address the other contributing factors, which may turn out to haunt other combat situations in the game. More importantly, removing these behaviors may 'fix' this reported situation, but have we missed an opportunity?
What if we view this AI combat behavior as another challenge the player must overcome? Just like the double-jump they have to learn, the fast reload controller sequence, the puzzle interface mechanics, the combo attack moves, etc. Viewed in this way, let's take a critical look at the situation we put the player in above.
We dropped the player in a very clever ambush, with a main group drawing attention and fire, with a prominently placed cover spot that serves as bait for a flanking sniper. Have we ramped up this kind of challenge for the player in previous situations? Has the player been introduced to the AI's tactics appropriately? Has the player been encouraged to overcome a simpler, but similar, challenge previously with particular tactics of their own to counter the situation? Do we appropriately give feedback on their progression in learning these counter tactics, whether they succeed or not? Are we appropriately mapping what the player perceives with their agency, in terms of these combat situations and player tactics to counter these AI behaviors?
Now, we're designing combat.
In previous situations in the game, make sure the player has witnessed these AI combat behaviors distinctly, their results, how dangerous and effective they are, and begin to introduce the counter tactics necessary for the player to learn. In the combat situation described above, there can only be a limited number of new factors for the player, and these shouldn't have 'ha ha, you're dead' results. Instead these have to allude to the new threat they pose, while hopefully (or soon after) introducing some counter measures. In death, if not before, show the player what the _ happened, so they get the feedback they need to do better.
In the end, our FPS player community needs to take the training wheels off and embrace challenges brought about by evolving combat AI. Overall, it's past time when we forgive enemies for not recognizing the obvious, for not trying to outsmart the player. This is just another skill the player _gets to_ learn (fail, work at, talk about), making them better, making the experience better.

Malicious: NH's anti-child House
Last year the Republican-led Legislature passed - over Gov. John Lynch's veto - a law that lets businesses take a tax credit for 85 percent of the value of donations they make to an educational scholarship program for lower-income students. Families who have incomes of no more than 300 percent of the federal poverty level may use the scholarships to help finance the cost of a private-school education.
Democrats strongly opposed the law last year. With their big House majority this year, they made killing it a priority. The House voted 188-151 Wednesday, largely along party lines, to repeal it.
For the children who would receive these scholarships, the law is an unmitigated good. They get to attend a school that works for them. What about the children who remain in public schools?
Democrats claimed that these children would be harmed by a loss of funding. Nonsense. For each child who takes a scholarship, the state loses 85 percent of $2,500, or $2,124. But the state pays public schools about $4,700 per child. For each kid who takes a scholarship, the state comes out about $2,575 ahead.
What about local schools? The law caps the amount any public school could lose at 1 percent of the school's budget.
This law does not harm any children. It helps the most vulnerable ones by giving them tickets out of failing schools. It helps those left in the failing schools by giving administrators and teachers stronger incentives to improve student outcomes.
Those positive, pro-child results are exactly why Democrats voted to kill the law. Their goal is not to help kids, not to educate them, not to help them prosper. Their goal is to maintain complete control over them by forcing as many as possible to remain in government schools, regardless of whether those schools function well or not at all. This vote was plainly and transparently anti-child. May the Senate have the wisdom to maintain hope for these children by killing this vile bill.

This is a great app I loke how accurate it is and how up to date it is
(69 stars)
This is a very good app and I've used it many times.
(69 stars)
This app makes it very easy to calculate a mortgage payment and it is accurate. I'm not sure how accurate the "home affordability" feature is, but it's handy as well. BTW, I do NOT get the notifications everybody is bitching about (I think you can turn them off, or they just stopped sending them) and the app WILL calculate PMI as long as the down pmt is between 5-20%.
(69 stars)
Has the add extra payment feature. Payment breakdown by month is very nice looking.

Not useful without pmi or fha

Beheaded Lyrics - Offspring
Review The Song (2)
Mommy doesn't have her head anymore
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
That's alright though
That's ok
She never really used her head anyway
Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he wont say that anymore
Because the way his body's severed in two
His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Bloody mess all over my clothes
Watch my girlfriend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
sponsored linksWatching my baby's jugular flow
Really makes my motor go
Wrap a towel around the bloody stump
Take my baby's body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads in my burlap sack
All my collection
Adorns my rooms on bamboo poles
Used to be a little
But a little got more and more
Now I'm craving yours
Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines
Off with her head
Find another victim for my machine
Put him in a homemade guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch the head plop in a wicker basket
Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
Cause the more I want, the more I see
Got a funny feeling coming over me

Did You Njoy Your Last Legal E-Puffs of E-Smoke E-ndoors?
One of Bloomberg's parting legislative gifts to New Yorkers, a ban on electronic cigarettes anywhere that analog (is that what the kids call it? idk) smoking isn't allowed, goes into effect today. This is a blessing for soft, pusillanimous vapers; they now have common cause with the genuinely aggrieved smokers of real cigarettes and the intriguing hit of illegality when they furtively puff indoors, their heads tilted low toward their belly, hand wrapped completely around their mechanical nicotine stick to obscure the glow from that stupid little light at the end of it.

Excerpts from what nate said:
|1. 'you gotta change the code'
| This one is obvious; people must change their SUID programs'
|source code to avoid nasty things like gets() sprintf() strcat() and
|strcpy() using things like fgets() strncat() strncpy() as substitutes.
This one seems an obvious solution but we need a way to automate the process
of detecting improper usage (see below).
|2. 'hmm. what if you change the compiler?'
| C compilers could be modified to do bounds checking, and/or
|problem functions could be made to complain to the user at compile time.
| After such modifications to the compiler, the resulting code
|is slower (which makes sense, because it now has to do a lot more to
|look after itself)
I personally would like a compile time option that would warn of any 'problem'
functions operating on storage class type "auto" members. This way I could
pull down something off the web and compile it and have it point out where the
code might need further inspection. This would incurr more cpu cycles during
compilation and perhapse an updateable list of 'problem' functions, but would
remain efficient during runtime.
|3. 'ok, what about the CPU/OS kernel stack exec permission?'
| What about stopping the buffer overflow problem at the kernel
|level? This might mean that you wouldn't have to inspect thousands of
|lines of code, rebuild gcc, or recompile anything except the kernel.
|Sounds nice, doesn't it.. well...
Even if the stack is not executable this does not mean that one can not play
games with the stack frames on some OS's and use the side effects to either
return us to sections of code where we never came from and/or with values on
the stack that the program never set. Granted this is more difficult but not
impossible for a determined hacker.

VW earnings lower as Europe weighs on revenue
Wednesday - 4/24/2013, 10:00am EDT
BERLIN (AP) -- Volkswagen AG reaffirmed its full-year earnings outlook Wednesday even after it reported a 38 percent fall in first-quarter profit as sagging demand in Europe weighed on revenues.
Europe's biggest automaker said it earned 1.95 billion euros ($3.15 billion) in the January-March period, compared with 3.15 billion euros a year earlier. Last year's figure was bolstered by a revaluation of share options in sports car maker Porsche, which has become one of the company's brands.
Nevertheless, the Volkswagen group, whose other brands include Audi, Skoda and Seat, saw its revenue fall 1.6 percent to 46.6 billion euros from 47.3 billion euros amid "negative effects from declining European markets."
However, the company did benefit from increasing sales in North America and Asia and the number of vehicles delivered worldwide rose 4.8 percent to 2.3 million. Volkswagen said it is "not completely immune" to intense competition in the car market and the impact that has on business.
The first quarter was "dominated by the difficult economic environment," CEO Martin Winterkorn said in a statement. "The markets were sluggish, especially in Europe, and not least in Germany. But we remain confident overall that we can pick up speed over the rest of the year."
In spite of the uncertainties, Winterkorn said the group was "standing by its goals for 2013." The company is forecasting that full-year revenue will exceed the 2012 figure and vehicle deliveries to customers will increase. It aims to match last year's operating profit.
The company's first-quarter operating profit was down 26 percent at 2.34 billion euros from last year's 3.17 billion euros.
Volkswagen shares were up 2.2 percent at 150.20 euros in early-afternoon Frankfurt trading after the company released its key earnings figures. A more detailed first-quarter report is due for release on April 29.

text: Posted Online: March 24, 2012, 7:33 pm Civilian life: Augie's public safety director makes adjustment Comment on this story By Anthony Watt, firstname.lastname@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Paul Colletti Greg Venvertloh brings almost three decades of military experience to his new position as Augustana College's Director of Public Safety. That experience is providing parallels that Mr. Venvertloh is putting to work as he builds "a culture of safety" at the school. The switch was not a small one -- going from helping run an American military base the size of a city to helping run a small, private, liberal arts college. But Greg Venvertloh, Augustana College's new director of public safety, insists the transition to the college from Camp Victory in Iraq, where he was director of public works, was not drastic.Safety standards are not that different from place to place, and a job is usually about working with people to get problems overcome, he said."To be quite honest, it's not a huge adjustment," Mr. Venvertloh said. At Victory, Mr. Venvertloh helped ready the base to be handed over to the Iraqi government, he said. At the time, there were 20,000 people -- American military personnel as well as U.S. civilians and the citizens of 30 other countries -- who called the base home. That job was one of his greatest accomplishments, he said. Mr. Venvertloh began his new job in January. He said he is reviewing Augustana's safety procedures, looking for what works and what might need improvement.His goals are to improve the campus safety culture, ensure that safety procedures and rules -- from environmental and fire safety to security-- are being properly maintained and met and TO make that information available on a campus safety website, Mr. Venvertloh said. Another goal is to ease the campus into any necessary changes by not making too many too fast."Augustana has a good safety culture," he said. "We're going to make it great."Much of his professional life has been related to safety, he said.Mr. Venvertloh's military career began in 1984 and has spanned the regular and part-time components of the Army. He began as an enlisted man in the regular service, then joined the National Guard and went to school in Quincy, his home town, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Chemistry.After earning that degree, the Army offered him a commission, and he became part of a fast response team whose job it was to counter the threat of weapons of mass destruction. As a civilian contractor, he also helped train the security forces of various U.S. Navy bases in how to deal with potentially hazardous material threats.At Camp Victory, his responsibilities included safety, construction, facilities maintenance, recycling, hazardous materials and waste removal. Mr. Venvertloh now holds the rank of major and is still active in the Iowa National Guard.The thing he learned during his career -- and that he will apply to his job at Augustana -- is making sure communication is a key component of his operation, Mr. Venvertloh said. Being able to communicate with superiors and subordinates is an indication of good leadership."If you're not communicating, bad things can happen," he said.He said the people of Augustana have made his job easier. "The caliber of people here is just amazing," he said. More about Greg Venvertloh: Age: 47.Hometown: Quincy, but lives near Galesburg.Family: Wife and three children, ages 9 to 14.Education: Bachelor of Science in Environmental Chemistry from Quincy University.Hobbies: Getting his kids to their various extracurricular activities.

Marston stars as Falcons' big man
By Jeremy Stafford - firstname.lastname@example.com
WOODSTOCK - Central assistant boys basketball coach Mickey Clinedinst stood by the stacked bleachers in the waning minutes of a Falcons basketball practice.
The five-on-five drill he observed was going well, so the whistle strung 'round his neck was surely dry; four-year starter Aaron Heishman drained bucket after bucket, and second-year starter Seth Bauserman gobbled in rebounds and spit out points.
And as head coach Roger Wilkins blared compliments to his team -- "good job, Aaron" -- Clinedinst simply raised a finger and whispered: "That's him, right there."
The outstretched finger reached toward the tallest player on the court, Michael Marston, whizzing unguarded through the paint.
A pass, a catch and an easy layup for Marston.
Clinedinst's finger extended into a powerful fist pump: "That's how you finish a practice!"
Fitting that Marston capped the drill with those points in the paint, announcing, in a sense, that Central, even after losing big men Stuart French and J.J. Armentrout to graduation, can still be a force on the blocks.
"He's our major post player," Heishman said of Marston. "He's real athletic, he can rebound -- he picked up the rebounding from what [Armentrout] was doing last year, and he's just a huge asset scoring."
Bulkier and more fine-tuned than he was a season ago, Marston scores 11.6 points a game, third-best on the team, and nabs a team-leading seven rebounds a game. And with 13 total blocks, Marston anchors a Falcons defense that, though it lacks bulk, has improved since last season.
"It's more [about] knowing what to do, it's not so much [about] size," Marston explained. "You just have to be smart and play -- not leave the basket open -- so that just comes with experience."
And Marston, though he lacks time as a starter, has plenty of experience. One of Wilkins' first players off the bench last season, Marston's prime role as a junior was to relieve Armentrout in the post, or French in his dual role as a post and perimeter player.
Thus began the rise of Marston, one of Central's more versatile players. Able to finesse himself to the basket off the dribble, or power through the paint, Marston is a near-perfect blend of Armentrout and French.
"It's definitely something new this year," Marston said of his role this season, "because last year [Armentrout] was always there. This year it's kinda like, 'I'm not the only one, but I'm the big guy now.' It's a new role."
And in Central's case, new roles, in a sport so dependent on retaining some level of consistency, seems to be working quite well. Though the team rebounds don't come at the rate they did last season, Central's team scoring is more spread out, largely because each Falcon can flourish at multiple positions. The Falcons, according to Marston, are interchangeable.
Wilkins said that, in Central's motion offense, Marston has the freedom to either play under the rim, or pop out for a 15-footer: he's dangerous in both instances.
And recently, to the surprise of Wilkins and Clinedinst, Marston has even been wont to run the point and push the ball down-court.
"I know that if you get everyone involved it makes everybody's job easier," said Marston, who said he began playing basketball when he was 6. "It's not like you can just live in the paint or on the outside, so it's not really a big pressure on any one person.
"You gotta get everybody involved and everything will just open up."
The Falcon offense has certainly opened up this season, while the ever-improving defense has effectively shut the doors on opposing teams. Scoring 64.7 points a game, Central (6-1) gives up a paltry 47 points on average.
Of course, Central's success is largely attributable to Heishman's team-best 20 points per game, and Bauserman's 12.1 points per game. And it's attributable, as any Falcon will attest, to Central's complete team effort.
But so much of it goes back to Marston, who took the opportunity to play football for the first time in the fall, which made him bigger, faster, stronger. So much of it goes back to Marston playing for the Rising Stars this past summer, where he faced other lifelong ballers who were also bigger, faster, stronger.
"His confidence in himself is a lot better, I think that's the biggest improvement," Wilkins said. "I think you get that by playing basketball with the Rising Stars. The more you play the more confident you get.
"I still don't think [Marston] has reached his potential, though -- I think he could improve a lot more if he wants to."

Baseball has taken a back seat for Clay Buchholz at the moment as he's now focused on getting 100% healthy after being diagnosed with esophagitis. Buchholz was released from hospital late Tuesday night and has already joined the team in the clubhouse prior to today's afternoon game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He won't however accompany the club on their upcoming west coast road trip as he now aims to fully recover from the setback.
The Red Sox made the following statement about Clay, courtesy of the Boston Globe:
"Clay Buchholz has esophagitis, which led to an erosion of the esophagus and an associated gastrointestinal bleed. He has been evaluated and observed at Mass General Hospital. Clay is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery."
At this point it is unknown as to how long the right-hander will be away from action, but any time you're forced to be hospitalized, including two days in ICU and receive 3-4 pints of blood a longer than usual absence is understandable.
Buchholz told the media that during his stay he did not eat for three days and surprisingly he only lost 3 pounds. Upon getting his appetite back Buchholz said "you don't know how good food is until you've had to eat hospital food for a few days."
For the record, it's been reported that both John Henry and Larry Luchhino were among his visitors during his hospital stay.

Letters to Lalage: The Letters of Charles Williams to Lois Lang-Sims
By Charles Williams
"The short-lived but remarkable correspondence presented in Letters to Lalage took place toward the end of Charles Williams' life. Louis Lang-Sims was not the first young woman to seek his help or to fall beneath his spell. When she wrote to him in September 1943 L. Williams had already had numerous admirers, pupils, and disciples who looked to him for counsel, for advice, and most especially, for encouragement. His affinity with Louis Lang-Sims was not surprising. Some thirty years younger than he was, she was in due course herself to become a forceful and individual writer whose literary output, though relatively small, was almost as varied as Williams' own. In Lois Lang-Sims' writings, as in those of Charles Williams, a variety of literary forms embody a singleness of imaginative vision. But at the time of their first meeting she was only twenty-six years old and, according to her autobiographical a Time to be Born, in a state of great mental and emotional confusion. Now, nearly fifty years later, she presents the letters Williams wrote to her, together with her own comments on a relationship that was to come to such an abrupt, and in some respects disturbing, end."

A Curated Dose of Visual Inspiration
'Between 14th & Bedford: NY Subway Dancers' (vimeo link)Directed, shot & edited by Mollie MillsFeaturing "W.A.F.F.L.E" (We Are Family For Life Entertainment) dance crew: Facebook / Twitter / YouTubeSoundtrack: Nas - N.Y. State of Mind"The longer I spent with them, the more I realised that they weren't dancing as a hobby or to earn a couple of bucks but a lot of these kids actually needed the money to support either themselves or their families. A lot of them come from poorer backgrounds and areas like Crown Heights and East New York and have bonded over a mutual decision to earn money through something more positive than gang banging, drugs or stealing. What's more is that dancing on the trains is currently illegal in the New York state. The boys told me about several friends who had been arrested for this harmless and unifying activity. Aside from some of the more tragic back stories, the dance they've created and called 'Lite Feet' is phenomenal to watch. - These kids have created an underground community of young dancers all looking for a similar escape from reality. As they say so appropriately at the end of each dance "Show your love and show your support". - Mollie Mills
