Police still hunting for hit-and-run driver
Relevant offers
Police are still searching for a driver who left an elderly Christchurch cyclist with broken ribs and a fractured vertebrae.
The 77-year-old cyclist was seriously injured when he was hit by a car pulling onto Bealey Ave from Geraldine St just after 8am on August 26.
The driver failed to stop, leaving the elderly man lying on the road.
Constable Glen Alder said the cyclist was likely to remain in Christchurch Hospital ''for quite a while''.
''He'll be in a full body cast for six weeks or so.''
Police had been unable to find the driver of the car, but were still investigating, Alder said.
The vehicle was believed to be of an older style and grey in colour.
The cyclist had been wearing a bright orange fleece top with a reflective vest and dark-coloured helmet.
Anyone who saw the crash should call Christchurch police on 03 363 7400 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Maryland's Healthcare Interactive raises $8 million in venture capital
Send this to a friend
Healthcare Interactive Inc. — which sells Web-based software for companies to monitor medical costs in real time — has raised $8 million in funding.
The Series A funding in the Glenwood, Maryland-based company came from Grotech Ventures, which has more than $1.3 billion under management, and Harbert Venture Partners, an emerging growth-stage investor with $200 million under management.
It was a big step forward for the company as its first venture investment. After first getting a 2006 investment from WellNet Healthcare in Bethesda, HCI has been bootstrapped with about $5 million by co-founders and investors Keith Lemer and Harry Kovar. It has been self-funded ever since.
In 2011, led by CEO Henry Cha, HCI said it planned to raise $10 million to expand its business development, sales and marketing teams to target state-level insurance exchanges to be created by the Affordable Care Act. They projected growth could reach $52 million in 2013. But after dipping their toes in the market, Cha said they backed away simply because the ACA posed so many unknowns at that point.
"There was too much uncertainty in the market. Especially with the ACA and especially not knowing what the regulations were going to be," Cha said. "It really forced us to take a step back."
The company reengineered and sees a fast-growing market in the digital health care space when it comes to handling data and managing populations. HCI plans to use the capital to expand nationally with its products, including its cloud-based benefits management system for insurance companies and health care providers. HCI says its system is a more scalable and lower-cost option than other products on the market.

Teresa wears: Macgraw top from The Graduation Boutique, Nobody denim, Phillip Lim boots and Naked Vice backpack (similar here).
Someone who we think is absolutely killing it at the moment is RMIT alumni, Lauren Acciarito, whose graduate collection is already blowing us away with her unique and breathtaking designs. Having already gained industry experience interning with some of the best in the biz, including Josh Goot and Therese Rawsthorne, we had the pleasure of working with Lauren to shoot some of her amazing pieces.
Drawing inspiration from her passion for nature, passed onto her by her Nana (an avid gardener), Lauren's collection perfectly captures the structural form of flowers into wearable designs. Her use of organic shapes and colours creates strong architectural pieces with a soft feminine edge. Creating her own digital prints and fabrications from laying and contrasting photographs of flowers, Lauren's designs delicately curve and drape the body, creating new shapes and intrigue from every angle.
While Lauren's designs are full of volume and layers, there is still something so refined and fragile about her pieces. Like a rose in full bloom, Lauren's designs are something to behold and breathe in.
We can't wait to see what this insanely talented designer does next and is one up-and-comer we'll be sure to keep our eye on!

|IBF revises "high risk area" in Somali waters
|Friday, 01 May 2009 10:59
Following a meeting of the JNG/ITF Secretariat in London on April 27 and the agreement reached between the parties of the IBF on April 29, the International Bargaining Forum has agreed to extend the coordinates of "high risk area" covering Somali waters.
From May 1 2009, the existing "high risk area" covering the Gulf of Aden will be extended to cover the eastern seaboard of Somalia down to the border of Kenya, and will extend 400 nautical miles from the Somali mainland.
The agreement also provides that seafarers on ships covered by IBF Agreements will receive a bonus equal to that of 100 percent of their basic wage while the vessel is in transit in the Gulf of Aden for an additional month. The normal rates of death and disability compensation for seafarers will also continue to be doubled during this period.
All parties recognised the increased number of attacks on merchant vessels trading in this area, with the hope that the decision to increase the area designated as high risk will be seen as a positive effort from the shipowners to protect the safety and security of the seafarers who sail aboard their vessels.
"Whilst we continue to be alarmed at the increase in piracy in this region, we hope that by announcing the increase of the high risk area, vessels trading in this area will be putting a greater distance between themselves and the Somali coastline, rendering them less at risk from piracy attempts," Giles Heimann, Deputy Secretary General of IMEC said.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and hope that the world's governments will continue to provide protection through naval forces in the area, whilst looking for a permanent solution to this threat to vessels continuing their peaceful trade."

Ming Tsai is joined by his parents who serve up a seafood feast of prawns to go with his special Kung Pao Sauce.
Prepare a fryer or a large stock pot filled 1/3 full with oil heated to 375 degrees. Pat prawns dry with paper towel. Add prawns to oil and fry for about 2 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove prawns to a paper towel-lined plate. Meanwhile, in a large wok or saute pan over high heat coated lightly with oil, add onions and garlic chives and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add prawns and Kung Pao Sauce and stir-fry to combine. Season if necessary. In same deep-frying oil, add mung bean vermicelli. The noodles will immediately puff up; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. To serve, set vermicelli in center of platter and top with Kung Pao prawn stir-fry.
For the Kung Pao Sauce::
In a wok or saute pan coated lightly with oil over high heat, add garlic and ginger and saute for 1 minute, just to soften. Add sambal, taking care not to inhale the chile, and saute until well-blended. Add soy sauce to deglaze, then add sugar and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil and slowly whisk in slurry to thicken. Check for flavor and season if necessary. Keep warm to use in recipes or cool to room temperature, store in an air-tight jar and place in the fridge.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups of sauce.

Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are the best wines to pair with Kung Pao Prawns.

(WIBW) Greensburg Representative and House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney is appointed to replace Lynn Jenkins as State Treasurer.
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has appointed House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney to replace Lynn Jenkins as state treasurer.
Sebelius named the 48-year-old McKinney to the $86,000-a-year post during a Statehouse news conference this morning. Jenkins is leaving the job after defeating Democrat Nancy Boyda for the 2nd District seat in Congress on Nov. 4.
A Greensburg Democrat, McKinney was appointed to the House in May 1992 and has been minority leader since 2002.
Sebelius said McKinney's familiarity with state budget issues made him a good choice for the position, calling him "a strong leader who cares about the obstacles Kansans face.''
Speculation was that Sebelius would pick a fellow Democrat to finish the remaining two years of Jenkins' term, serving until the next scheduled election in 2010.
The state law that gives the governor authority to name a replacement doesn't mention party affiliation.
Jenkins served in the Kansas House and Senate before being elected treasurer in 2002, defeating Democrat Sally Finney. Jenkins was elected to a second term in 2006, defeating Larry Wilson.
McKinney's replacement will be chosen by Democratic leaders in his district and take office in January.

Give me time, begs Hollande as his popularity plummets
John Lichfield
John Lichfield has been The Independent's man in Paris since 1997, covering French news. Before that, he was the paper's Foreign Editor and he has also worked in Brussels and Washington.
Thursday 01 November 2012
President François Hollande, facing an unprecedented meltdown in his popularity, today criticised the impatience of French voters but promised that his softly-softly approach would triumph in the end.
In an interview with Le Monde almost six months after his election, Mr Hollande insisted he had not been shocked by his precipitous fall in the opinion polls.
"To be in office today is very tough," he said. "There is no indulgence and no respect. But I knew that already."
In a new survey to be published by the market research firm Sofres tomorrow, Mr Hollande's approval rating sinks to 37 per cent, compared to 62 per cent just after his election in early May. This is the steepest drop in popularity of any newly-elected head of state in 50 years.
Pollsters say the collapse is driven by a belief – on both the right and part of the left – that Mr Hollande has adopted too aloof and plodding an approach to France's worst economic crisis since the war. There is also fury on the right at threatened tax rises and anger on the left at deficit cutting in the face of zero growth and 10 per cent unemployment.
In his interview, the President admitted he had been wrong to react against the frenetic approach of his predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy by reverting to the semi-detached style of previous presidents.
He had now "adjusted" to a more hands-on approach.
But Mr Hollande reminded voters that they detested what was widely seen as Mr Sarkozy's confrontational and divisive attitude to social and economic reform.
"In France, I believe, the changes we need have to be led by the left, through negotiation, with fairness and without injuring or insulting the weakest," he said. "Other people would have done it more brutally."
Exactly what economic reforms Mr Hollande and his government are planning remains unclear. A report, commissioned by the President on how to restore France's international competitiveness is due next week.
It has already been largely shelved because it offended left-wing sensibilities by attacking the 35-hour working week and the high payroll taxes which fund healthcare and other social policies.
After initially talking of a "shock" to improve France's ability to compete in European and world markets, Mr Hollande now speaks of a "pact".
This non-confrontational approach – launching lengthy negotiations with employers and unions – should not be mistaken for inactivity, Mr Hollande said.
"It is easier to make a splash with quick decisions than with slow negotiations… But we will see what I have achieved at the end of five years." There is increasing nervousness in Berlin that, despite Mr Hollande's commitment to deficit cutting, the slow pace of French economic reform could provoke a new eurozone crisis in 2013.
These fears were voiced at a conference in Berlin this week not by Chancellor Angela Merkel, but by her Social Democratic predecessor, Gerhard Schröder.
"The greatest problems for Europe are Spain and Italy but also, and I say this discreetly, France," Mr Schröder said. "And that would not be a minor problem."
Mr Hollande said he believed French growth would revive, and unemployment start to fall, by the "second half of next year".
"But there could also be the dark scenario of a recession," he warned. "As head of state, I must prepare for all hypotheses".

A Minute With: Sajid Khan on 'Himmatwala'
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Sajid Khan's films rarely get good reviews but the Bollywood film-maker doesn't mind. Most critics have panned his movies but audiences ensured his slapstick comedies made a killing at the box office.
Khan is breaking out of his usual genre to attempt an action comedy with "Himmatwala", his new film that opens in cinemas in March.
The film, about a man's mission to avenge his father, is a different spin on a 1983 blockbuster of the same name.
The 2013 version stars Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah in the lead.
Khan spoke to Reuters about revisiting the 30-year-old film and why he thinks "Himmatwala" would be one of the year's biggest hits.
Q: Is your film a remake of "Himmatwala"? A: "It's 20 percent. They are two different films. The old 'Himmatwala' didn't have a city or a discotheque; mine does. I don't even want to call it a remake, I would call it a rewrite."
Q: Why did you want to 'rewrite' this film? A: "I have been an ardent fan of 'Himmatwala' growing up and even now. It's one of those movies I would take to an island. So I wanted to make something that was in that zone. But then I thought why a similar zone, just make that film. Ajay (Devgn) was very kicked about it. The response in the industry was 'How can you make Himmatwala? It's not a classic'. But for me a classic is a film you can watch again and again. 'Gone with the Wind' is not a classic for me. I don't think I can sit through it more than once."
Q: What is it about the 80s and that era that made you want to make a film based in that time? A: "I saw the entire 80s first-hand. My teens were in the 80s and I was a city child, so right from video games to the advent of the compact disc, to VHS, Hindi cinema, break-dancing, gaudy clothes, Michael Jackson and Madonna … the 80s to me was a mixture of the worst and best decade. For me it will always be the most special decade, so I didn't need to do any research for this film."
Q: What do you remember about the movies of the 80s? A: "Right until 1984 was a great period because maximum movies worked at the box office. Big budget films like 'Shaan', 'Dostana', 'Kranti' -- these were all big-budget movies. But when 'Himmatwala' hit screens in 1983 and Sridevi became a household name and Jeetendra, Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor became a gang, they started calling them the south factory. They were churning out movies every month and till 1986/87, 90 percent of them worked at the box office. So 'Himmatwala' started the trend of over-the-top cinema, but (also) very entertaining."
Q: So has the concept of larger-than-life hero and film caught on? A: "It never went away … But if you do it with conviction, like I do a lot of inane, over-the-top stuff in my film, but I do it with so much conviction that I convince my actors to do it. I live on my conviction. The day my conviction is shaken, I'll be destroyed as a film-maker. And it is my conviction which is telling me today, two months before the release of my film, that it will be one of the top three biggest hits of 2013 … I am not good at sports, I don't cook, I don't look good, but I am good at movies and I won't go wrong with that."
Q: Do you think you know the Indian audience and what it wants? A: "1000 percent. Cinema is not going to change. Indian audiences have changed, but in a minor way. Today's kids weren't born in the 80s so their upbringing, so their view of certain things in life, so one must keep up with them. So my films are cool, they have a little tongue-in-cheek humour … All my screenplays have been written keeping the thali (assortment of dishes) audience in mind. I have to do something for kids, I have to do something for teenagers, I have to make sure that the film appeals to ladies … If you hit a target audience of 70 percent, your film will be a super-duper hit."
Q: Does this come from being a dedicated audience for Indian films? A: "I am not a great director. There are many other directors who are far more technically skilled, but I am the greatest audience member. I am thousands of miles ahead of them as the audience. That's why I will never make a film that I am half unsure about. I will always choose ideas which I feel will be universally accepted."

Barbour, Bryant calls for state to challenge healthcare bill
Published: March 22,2010
JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour and Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, both Republicans, want the state to challenge the constitutionality of federal healthcare legislation that President Barack Obama plans to sign into law on Tuesday.
Bryant sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Jim Hood, asking the Democrat to file a lawsuit on behalf of the state.
Hood did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Bryant's request.
Barbour wants an answer from the attorney general by noon on March 25. If Hood refuses to file suit to protect the interests of Mississippians, Barbour said he intends to file the lawsuit.
"This costly unfunded mandate could not have come at a worse time for our state's economy," Barbour said. "Mississippi continues to see declining monthly revenue collections, and we have been forced to cut priority areas like education and public safety. Under the plan, 15 million people would be moved to the federal-state Medicaid program, which already strains our state budget every year. Once the temporary funding is gone, we can expect taxes to spike by hundreds of millions of dollars for Mississippians who will have to pay for this expanded program."
Bryant — who's gearing up to run for governor in 2011 — says the federal legislation is too expensive and would violate people's rights by requiring them to buy insurance.
Bryant says Mississippi should assert its rights under the 10th Amendment, which "protects states from an overbearing federal government."
Mississippi is not the only state mulling a challenge to the healthcare bill. Washington, Utah and Nebraska are also thinking of suing, according to The Associated Press.

Prison nurse who had sex with convicted rapist at top security jail locked up for three years
Related Articles
Published: 08 October 2012
A prison nurse who had an affair with a convicted rapist at a top security jail has been locked up for three years.
Karen Cosford, 47, had sex with inmate Brian McBride, who was serving a life sentence at Wakefield Prison, during a relationship that lasted several months.
Three of her colleagues were also jailed for a total of more than four years for "covering up" the affair and "abusing their position of trust".
Cosford sent the prisoner intimate text messages on a smuggled mobile phone in which she told him he was "dead sexy" and that she loved him.
In a love letter, which was found hidden in a jar of sugar, she described him as her "knight in shining armour" and graphically described how she would have sex with him.
She also performed a sex act on McBride, who claimed he was hugely wealthy and promised her large sums of money, while on duty as two colleagues, Carolyn Falloon and Jacqueline Flynn, guarded his cell.
On another occasion Falloon caught her having sex with the inmate in the medical unit.
Cosford, of Normanton, West Yorkshire, who worked in the jail's medical centre, denied misconduct, claiming McBride raped her then intimidated her so she would not report it.
During a trial at Leeds Crown Court that lasted almost four weeks, she said he threatened to kill her and her family if she told anybody about their relationship.
But jurors rejected the claim after hearing how the prison nurse became inappropriately close to the inmate and struck up a sexual relationship.
The affair was exposed when McBride's cell was searched and he told Cosford's husband Darrie, a prison officer, that he had been having sex with his wife.
Cosford denied all charges but last week she was found guilty of misconduct by engaging in a sexual relationship with an inmate. She was also found guilty of failing to tell prison authorities that McBride had a mobile and bringing in top-ups on behalf of the prisoner.
Health care officer Carolyn Falloon, 50, of Wakefield, and nurse Jacqueline Flynn, 46, from Pontefract, were found guilty of failing to report the relationship and not reporting McBride's mobile phone. Falloon was also found guilty of supplying McBride with mobile top-ups.
Another of their colleagues, health care officer Kevin Wilson, 57, also of Normanton, earlier pleaded guilty to failing to notify authorities of Cosford's relationship, failing to tell authorities he had a mobile phone and supplying McBride with a Sim card.
Sentencing all four at Bradford Crown Court, Judge David Hatton QC said evidence suggested that "evil" McBride manipulated staff by claiming he had amassed great wealth and had links to the criminal underworld.
He was seen as a "privileged" and "protected" prisoner by some senior managers at the jail, the judge said.
But all the defendants should have known better and inevitably faced jail, he said.
"It's a sad business indeed when four people of mature years and previous good character, public servants who have devoted several years to their vocation, should find themselves to be sentenced for having abused their position of trust," he said.
"These acts and omissions each constituted a gross breach of security in a prison housing dangerous criminals.
"Each of you was aware at the time that your conduct constituted a significant breach of responsibility.
"I don't lose sight of the undoubted fact that each of you fell under the evil spell of the same unusually deceitful, manipulative prisoner Brian McBride but each of you were experienced and each of you had the power and duty to avoid that.
"The misconduct in this case is so serious that only a custodial sentence can be appropriate."
Judge Hatton said Cosford abused her position of trust and was motivated by perceived financial enhancement" after McBride boasted to her that he was a "man of means and influence".
He sentenced her to three years in jail.
Falloon and Flynn were placed in a "genuine dilemma" by their split loyalties but acted entirely inappropriately, the judge said as he jailed them for 21 months and 15 months respectively.
Wilson, who appeared as a witness during the trial, was granted credit for his guilty plea. But Judge Hatton said the evidence he gave was "unconvincing and in parts untruthful" and jailed him for 15 months.

Libor fraud in London?
This sounds like a good reason to avoid owning shares in Japanese companies.
(The author of this comment has a web log on economics at https://economics102.wordpress.com/)
The Japanese, like James Brown, believe in the saying; "don't tell me how to run my mess". The Japanese have industrialized using their own method and under their own system; however they choose to handle their business and reform; it is their BUSINESS. The Japanese, like Lee Kuan Yew and the Chinese, don't have time for the whinning of Westerners.

Everyone stood near the Condor, except Stork who was still working on the engine. They looked around a little tense, wondering what was going on.
"Well… There's definitely more to this place than we thought." - Aerrow said.
"Maybe we should apply the 'nothing is what it appears' rule from the Forbidden City in here too." - Piper commented.
"Then someone did wish for the rain, after all." - Stork said in a mocked delightful tone as he glared at Finn.
"I couldn't have known!" - the blonde crossed his arms and looked away annoyed.
"So you think this place is a wasteland that grants wishes?" - Junko suggested, drawing their attention.
"That might actually be true." - Kaya said as she bent down and brushed her hand on the ground - "This soil isn't really normal. There's something strange about this place." - she picked up some sand and rubbed her fingers against the dust to feel it.

"You saw caves? Where?" - Aerrow asked.
Piper had told him all about what she had seen during her flight once he and the others had arrived.
"A few miles… Uh… North from here?" - she wasn't entirely sure, since she'd have to check out the northern lights to be able to figure out which direction was north, but the sun was shinning too brightly in the sky, preventing the lights from being seen - "Anyway, I was thinking of going to do some reckon there."
"Uh… I don't know if that's a good idea." - he rubbed the back of his head.
"Why not?" - she raised an eyebrow and shot him a questioning look, though she somehow seemed to know what was coming.
"You shouldn't be wandering on your own out there." - he said as he gestured to the vast emptiness around them - "This is an unknown place. It could be dangerous."
Yep, she had guessed correctly, as always. She crossed her arms unimpressed.

Part 2 - Boredom
Aerrow, Finn, Junko and Radarr ran right behind Kaya around the desert wasteland. They all seemed to be keeping their pace so far, until the blonde tripped and feel on the ground, then his body refused to get up. The others were still running when the Grandmaster looked behind her and saw him lying on the dust. She just shook her head in disappointment, then addressed the others.
"Keep going, guys, head to that small hill over there. I'll go fetch Finn and catch up with you." - she told them.
She bounced ahead of them to impulse herself in the opposite direction, then shot quickly towards him. He was panting a lot when she reached him, his face turned to his left so he could breathe.
"C'mon, Mr. lazy." - she poked his head with her nose.
"Too… Tired… Can't… Move…" - he said through his heavy breath.
Kaya rolled her eyes in response.
"Fine…" - she said as she lowered herself to the ground - "Climb up, I'

Part 1 - Stranded
The Condor was flying smoothly in the skies. Yes, smoothly, but not silently. An annoying noise came from inside the ship: Finn was playing his guitar. The blonde strummed his fingers on the musical instrument randomly, and random notes completely out of tune came out over and over. Stork was at the helm, his eye twitching nervously as he slowly turned his head to glare at the sharpshooter, his grip on the helm tightening. Everyone else had their hands on their ears, Radarr was pulling on his so hard that they looked like they'd be ripped off his head. Kaya seemed to be just as distressed as the little animal, for her hearing was also very sensitive. She actually winced in pain a little.
"Finn!" - Piper shouted as she walked towards him - "Stop that noise right now!" - she yelled, but the "music" was so loud he couldn't hear her.
Then suddenly, the boy had his guitar snatched away from him forcefully by Aerrow. The leader eyed him

I'm Letícia and I'm brazillian.
What can I say about me?
Well, I love drawing, writing stories, listening to music, watching and (specially) making videos!! (This last thing is the one that I love the most!)
About my personality...
I can't say many things, I think you can find this out better if you meet me personaly, but let me try.
I'm a person who loves having fun, specially making artistic stuff. I like to go out for rides with my friends (as in going to movies, parks, etc).
I'll always treat people the same way they treat me or better than that. I respect the other people's way to be and act. I'm a kind girl with a good emotional control and I care a lot about how my friends and relatives are feeling.
You can say that I'm a little (some moments a lot) shy at first, but with time, I can become really extrovert! ;]
There's a phrase that I really like: "Be ambitious, aim for the moon. Even if you miss it, you'll still be among the stars."
Now, my physique:
I'm caucasian, brown hair and eyes, slender, average height...
Some preferences:
My favorite TV shows (cartoons) are Avatar: the last airbender and Storm Hawks.
>>> On Avatar, my favorite character is... I think is Aang, because: I think he is really very incredible, he is funny, cute and sweet, but the funniest still is Sokka! About the villains, I guess the best is Azula, she is more evil than the guy that should be the big villain: her father...
>>> On Storm Hawks, my favorite is Aerrow, because of various reasons: I think he is amazing, a good friend, sometimes he has funny moments, like that in episode 38 that I'll never forget, and I think he is hot! lol xD Among the bad guys, I think my fav is Dark Ace (let's say he is kinda hot too ^^), and I'm sad because he exploded in episode 52... No more good villain stuff from him... :/
A very HUGE list, let's point some of them:
Forrest Gump; Big Fish; The Day After Tomorrow; The Core;
Iron Man trilogy; Lord of the Rings trilogy; Ip Man trilogy; Star Wars 2 trilogies; Matrix trilogy; Kill Bill 2 movies;
Inglorious Bastards; Cloud Atlas; The Golden Compass; Jumper; Harry Potter (until the 4th);
All Disney classics (my favorites being Tarzan, Mulan, Aladdin and The Lion King);
Many of the Pixar movies (my favorites being A Bug's Life, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles);...
In general, I love sci-fi, fantasy, humor, terror, suspense, action, adventure, romance and mystery.
An even bigger list. Some of my favorite songs:
Inner Universe (Origa);
Move Along (The All-American Rejects);
Clocks, Speed of Sound, Viva la Vida, Talk, A Message, In My Place, etc (Coldplay);
Lost and Already Over (Red);
The genres I enjoy: rock, a little of techno and pop, instrumental and soundtrack.
I enjoyed a lot of books, I can't tell which are my favorite ones, since it's been a long time since I've last read an actually good book. :/
And I really like reading fanfictions! As in the movies part, I love those same categories here.
I also LOVE reading comics! My fav ones right now are: Grim Tales, Looking For Group, PPG Doujinshi, Sugar Bits and Gone with the Blastwave.
>>> On Grim Tales, my fav character is Grim Junior! He's so incredibly cute! And he's that kind of character that has a change of behavior, that's something I really apreciate.
>>> On Looking For Group, my fav is, by far, Richard! He's totally AWESOME, funny, super cool, one of the best characters I've ever seen!
Well, I gotta say, I'm very picky with games. MMO RPGs are cool because we can see other people and interact with them, so... I enjoy those games, not all of them, of course, some I liked were: World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King, TERA, Eden Eternal, Guild Wars 2... But that's not my fav genre...
Genres I like in games: RPG, action (but not purely action, it must have adventure and/or RP...), adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, "war"...
3rd person games mainly, but I play some FPS, not my fav genre, though. I think FP games limit our view of the game world and our awareness of things around us, after all, the FP from the game will never be like the FP in real life... Plus, I like to be able to move the screen and look at my character's face.
Anyways, fav games now:
>>> Mass Effect series. One word: AWESOME. Excelent plot, great dialogue system, fun gameplay, nice characters, good world, just the best sci-fi series I've ever played. My favorite character there is Thane! With Legion and Garrus coming in 2nd place.
>>> The Longest Journey series. Simply AMAZING! Wonderful plot (in my opinion, it's even better than ME's plot), one of the best game worlds I've seen, awesome mix of sci-fi and fantasy, beautiful story telling. A bit hard to choose a favorite character there... But there's one I found funny and a great companion: Crow!
That's all for while, I'll update again...

A wonderful collection of tips & tricks when it comes to design. It is incredible how since the first edition of this book in 1988 many of the principles are still the same. Read full review
