Problems increase as electronic payments grow in popularity
More people are getting fed up with their e-money supplier. Are PayPal and other firms playing fair with users?
Saturday 17 September 2011
complaints about electronic payments are soaring, according to the Financial Services Ombudsman. Some users report having their e-money account closed or restricted, while others complain that disputes with buyers or sellers are not being resolved satisfactorily.
With more people than ever using e-money – of which PayPal is by far the biggest issuer – for buying and selling through such sites as eBay, the number of mistakes is bound to grow. But there does seem to be a growing trend for errors not to be sorted out properly, if the Ombudsman's latest report is anything to go by.
In a typical case, Mr J (not his real name) lost out on £300 after someone who sold him a faulty car stereo refused to give the money back, even after the stereo had been returned to him. After several fruitless attempts at getting his cash, Mr J turned to the e-money issuer, expecting it to refund his money.
He got short shrift. The e-money issuer refused to arrange a refund because, it said, the seller claimed that Mr J never returned the stereo. Additionally, the company noted that Mr J had "failed to follow the correct procedure" for returning faulty goods.
It pointed to its small print which stated that any faulty goods must be returned to the address registered on its system for the seller. It said it had no record of the seller at the address Mr J claimed to have used when returning the stereo.
But he had used registered post when returning the stereo so could prove that the package had been delivered there. He also had copies of his email exchange with the seller, including the address details the seller had sent to him.
When he turned to the Ombudsman, it looked at the terms and conditions of the e-money account. Contrary to what the e-money issuer had told Mr J, the small print did not say that items had to be returned to the address the e-money issuer held for the seller. They simply said that items had to be returned to the seller.
So, since Mr J could prove he had followed the seller's instructions, the Ombudsman told the e-money issuer to refund the £300 and pay Mr J £50 for the inconvenience it had caused.
The company had clearly fobbed Mr J off with nonsense to avoid paying his claim. Searching on the internet reveals lots of fed-up eBayers reporting similar stories, with Paypal the company mostly mentioned. There also seems to be growing numbers of people who claim to have had their accounts closed and cash held – for up to six months – if PayPal notices unusual activity, such as sudden large sums, on their account. The Financial Ombudsman's report also covers other e-money problems, with pre-paid cards, gift cards and similar payment disputes, when it has in fact sided with the e-money issuer. In many cases it's clear people may not have read closely enough the terms and conditions of using the service. That sends out a warning to all those who do buy and sell over the internet to ensure they are not in danger of breaking the rules and losing out.
There are certain procedures you should follow and, for instance, if you get suckered into a scam which costs you money, you are unlikely to get much of a hearing at whichever company handled your cash. But the number of complaints to the Ombudsman is growing, with about 1,600 received in the last 12 months. Not so long ago the number was nearer 400.
That may still be small beer compared to, for instance, the tens of thousands of complaints received about mis-sold payment protection insurance, but the increase is notable.
PayPal has the lion's share of the growing e-money market and consequently it is the e-money provider with the highest proportion of complaints according to the Ombudsman's published data. However it's worth pointing out that complaints about PayPal were pretty small, especially taking into account the millions of transactions it processes.
PayPal says it has 14 million active accounts in the UK, yet there were just 106 complaints about the firm to the Financial Ombudsman Service in the six months to July 2011, and 122 between July and December 2010. This year, the Ombudsman found in favour of the customer in just 34 per cent of cases involving PayPal, the company says.
So does the firm have a case to answer? I put some of the criticisms about PayPal to the company. Rob Skinner, head of PR, says: "PayPal is unusual in that many of our payments are between individuals. When issues arise, it's often because of a dispute between buyer and seller about a transaction – for example, about a product that one PayPal customer has sold to another.
"We have extensive buyer and seller programmes that can help when things go wrong – including in many cases refunding the cost of the payment. Terms apply," he says. For example, buyer protection covers only physical goods, and seller protection covers only items that have been posted to the buyer through an online trackable delivery service such as Royal Mail's recorded delivery.
"We always try to strike a balance between protecting buyers and sellers," says Mr Skinner. "And our systems are designed to spot activity that may cause problems for customers – for example, if we see a seller is suddenly receiving a lot of money through the sale of expensive electronic goods we may put restrictions on the account, to make sure everything's legitimate and buyers are getting the goods."
Such protective measures are good news for consumers, but does PayPal always measure up in terms of customer service? As more and more people use e-money, firms must ensure they treat users fairly.

Dusseldorf, Germany, assignors to Therachemie Chernisch Therapeutische Gesellschaft m.b.H., Dusseldorf, Germany, a corporation of Germany No Drawing. Filed July 20, 1960, Ser. No. 43,984 Claims priority, application Germany Aug. 8, 1959 4 Claims. (Cl. 260249.6)
The invention relates to a process of manufacturing novel organic perhydrate compounds, and, more particularly, to the manufacture of such compounds by the reaction of triazines with hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide forms addition products with a number of organic compounds, yielding solid materials. Such solid organic perhydrates generally are obtained from the solutions of the iorganic compounds and hydrogen peroxide by evaporation or by intensive cooling. These processes are, in part, very involved and frequently require special equipment in order to facilitate economical processes. To date, organic compounds to be used for the reaction have been urethanes, acetamide, aminoacetic acid and urea, to name but a few. In practice, solely the urea addition products have attained significance as solid organic perhydrates. The solutions which can be prepared therefrom, however, suffer from the disadvantage that the organic component predominates therein, a fact which frequently is undesirable.
It now has been found that solid organic perhydrates can be prepared in a simple manner with very high yields. These compounds, moreover, not only have good stability but especially have the advantage that, by suitable methods, solutions can be prepared which, in spite of the presence of organic component, contain the latter merely to a slight extent. These novel organic perhydrate compounds are obtained by reacting, according to the invention, amino-1.3.5-triazine with hydrogen peroxide solutions. Particularly useful as the triazine component are such compounds which contain at least two amino groups, such as 2.4-diamino-6-aryl-1.3.5triazine, and especially melamine.
The reaction can be accomplished in such a manner that to a hydrogen peroxide solution the triazine is added in finely divided state. On account of the generally low solubility of the triazines or of melamine, respectively, in water, it is opportune to provide for good mixing of the components. The reaction can be carried out without supply of external heat, especially since a certain amount of warming occurs during the reaction. However, in order to avoid decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide, it is of distinct advantage to keep the temperature in the reaction mixture below 40 C., and preferably not to allow it to exceed 25 C. Hence, the addition can also be carried out under cooling, especially when highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide-containing solutions are employed. After a short time, amino- 1.3.5-triazine perhydrate begins to separate whose H content, e.g., in the case of melamine, has a maximum of approximately 21 percent by weight, corresponding to a composition of 1 mol triazine to 1 mol H 0 It further has been found that the H 0 content of triazine perhydrate formed depends upon the proportions of triazine to H 0 applied and especially upon the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution. It is indicated to react per mol amino-1.3.5-triazine with at least one mol H 0 in form of an at least 5 percent (by weight) hydrogen peroxide solution, and preferably with a solution containing 30-40 percent by weight.
After filtration of the triazine perhydrate, the concentration of H 0 in the filtrate is adjusted to the original concentration by addition of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions. Thereby it has frequently been found opportune to start, using the above-described method, with a certain excess H 0 this excess being approximately 2-6, and preferably 2-3, mols, per mol triazine. Under certain conditions, the filtrates can directly be reused for the production of triazine perhydrates which have a somewhat lower H 0 content. It goes without saying that it also is feasible to obtain the desired concentration of the H 0 by evaporation of the filtrate in vacuo.
The triazine perhydrate obtained, after separation, is dried and comminuted. The perhydrate exhibits excellent stability even without addition of a stabilizer. Should particularly unfavorable conditions prevail during storage or use of the perhydrate, the stability can be increased by the addition of the commonly used perhydrate stabilizers. This addition of stabilizers can be carried out before or during the reaction, but, if desired, they also may be added to the finished product. Suitable stabilizers, as known for these purposes, are, e.g., monosodium phosphate, dior tetrasodium pyrophosphate, magnesium silicate, 8-oxyquinoline, the disodium salt of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and, particularly, citric acid.
The triazine perhydrates also can be produced in the reverse order of that described above, i.e., by adding to the solid component the hydrogen peroxide solution. This can be accomplished continuously or in portions. Such a reaction can be carried out particularly well in large-scale production in a heavy-duty mixer, a kneader, or in equivalent devices, such as corresponding agitators. When desired, it also is feasible to start with both components, i.e., to add both continuously. It is of advantage to use in this continuous process H 0 solutions having a minimum concentration of approximately 30 percent H 0 by weight. The reaction product is removed from the kneader while still moist and is conducted through a drier. In order to avoid H 0 losses, it is opportune not to heat the finished product above 50 C. in this drying process. This method is particularly suited for a continuous process. The novel organic perhydrates thus obtained are free-flowing powders which do not agglomerate during storage after drying and which are not hygroscopic. These perhydrates have the advantages of being simple to manufacture, having a high yield and good stability and of permitting the preparation of solutions which, in spite the presence of an organic component, contain the latter only to a slight extent. This is the case because it has been found that with Water or also with certain organic solvents, the hydrogen peroxide can be dissolved out, provided that the solvent is used at a sufiicient excess.
For the preparation of a hydrogen peroxide-containing solution poor on organic substances, a column is filled with, e.g., finely ground melamine perhydrate, and a corresponding quantity of Water is allowed to flow therethrough. Thereby, a filtrate is obtained whose H 0 content is considerably higher than corresponds to the very slight.
equivalent amount of melamine dissolved in the filtrate. However, it also is feasible to add to the amino-1.3.5- triazine perhydrate a larger quantity of water and subsequently to separate the undissolved amino-1.3.5-triazine by decantation or filtration. The melamine content in solutions prepared in this manner is at a maximum of 0.3 percent at 20 C.
If desired, organic solvents can be employed, as stated above, whereby diethyl ether, acetic ethyl ether, isobutanol, and others can be used. In these instances, a solution of hydrogen peroxide in these solvents is obtained.
Aside from the utilization of the novel amino triazine perhydrates for the production of hydrogen peroxide solutions, they also can be used, together with other organic and inorganic components, known per se, especially for cleaning and disinfecting processes.
The invention now will be further illustrated by a number of examples. However, it should be understood that these are given merely by way of explanation, not of limitation, and that numerous changes may be made in the details without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
Example 1 tered, Washed with a small amount of water and dried at 45 C. The yield, calculated on the melamine charged, is over 99 percent. The H content of the melamine perhydrate obtained is 20.4 percent by weight. When the amount of hydrogen peroxide present in the filtrate is added to the hydrogen peroxide bound to the melamine, the loss on H 0 is approximately 3 percent, i.e.,
Example 2 928 g. melamine are suspended in 1.67 liter 25.5 percent by weight hydrogen peroxide solution, to which for stabilization had been added 0.5 g. N34P207. The molar proportion of melamine to H 0 equals l:l.9. After continuing as described in Example 1, 1140 g. melamine perhydrate are obtained having a H 0 content of 20 percent by weight.
Example 3 378 g. melamine are suspended in molar proportions of 1:3 in0.79 liter hydrogen peroxide solution whose concentration is 34.6 percent by weight. Agitation is continued for a While after addition has been completed.
a After filtration and drying, 472 g. melamine perhydrate Example 4 Melamine is suspended in a 49.9 percent (by weight) hydrogen peroxide solution in molar proportions of 1:3.5. After proceeding as described in Example 1, a melamine perhydrate having a 20.5 percent by weight H 0 content is obtained.
Example 5 With the method as described in Example 1, 5 percent by weight hydrogen peroxide solution are reacted with 126 g. melamine are treated with 0.35 liter 10 percent (by weight) H 0 solution for approximately 30 minutes. The molar proportions of melamine to H 0 are 1: 1.1. After filtration and washing with 0.15 liter water, 145 g. perhydrate are obtained having a H 0 content of 13.1 percent by weight.
When, however, these starting products are reacted in molar proportions of 1:3.2, 149 g. perhydrate, having a 15.6 percent by weight H 0 content, are obtained While otherwise working in exactly the same manner.
Example 7 126 g. melamine are reacted in 0.27 liter hydrogen peroxide solution of 35.6 percent by weight (molar proportions melamine to H O =l:3.2). 3 g. magnesium silicate had been added to the solution as stabilizer. After filtration and drying, a melamine perhydrate was obtained having a H 0 content of 20.9 percent.
When g. finely ground melamine perhydrate, as prepared in this example, are suspended with agitation in 1 liter water at 20 C., a solution is obtained after filtration containing 20.9 g. H 0 per liter. The melamine content of this solution is only 0.3 percent.
When, in lieu of melamine perhydrate, the commercially available carbamide perhydrate is used for the production of such a H 0 solution, approximately 12 times as much organic substance is contained in the solution.
Example 8 2.4-diamino-6-phenyl-l.3.5-triazine are suspended in hydrogen peroxide solution in molar proportions of 1:58. The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution used and stabilized with a small amount of sodium pyrophosphate, is 35.6 percent by weight. After addition is completed, agitation is continued for a while. The 2.4-diamino-6-phenyl-1.3.5-triazine perhydrate thus formed is filtered, Washed and dried. The H 0 content of this product is approximately 11 percent. The H 0 solution obtained as the filtrate is re-used for a new charge.
Example 9 To 2 liter 33.5 percent (by weight) hydrogen peroxide solution, 0.6 g. Na P O and 3 kg. melamine are added (molar proportion melamine to H 0 equals 1:1). The reaction mixture is mixed for 15 minutes in a planetary stirrer. Thereby, the temperature rises to 45 C. The melamine perhydrate thus obtained is dried at 45 C. and has H 0 content of 20.4 percent. The yield is 3.77 kg., or practically 100 percent, calculated on melamine. Of the hydrogen peroxide used, 96 percent are present in the end product.
Example 10 Melamine and H 0 solution (35.3 percent by weight) in equimolar proportions are kneaded in a kneading machine for 20 minutes, and then dried at 45 C. A melamine perhydrate containing 20.9 percent H 0 are obtained, i.e., in practically 100 percent yield, calculated on the melamine.
We claim as our invention:
1. A process for the production of organic perhydrates, which consists of reacting a compound, selected from the group consisting of melamine and 2.4-diamino-6-phenyl- 1.3.5-triazine, with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution of at least 5 percent concentration by weight in at least equimolar proportions at temperatures of no more than 40 C., filtering the perhydrate thus obtained, and drying the same at a temperature not exceeding 50 C.

After the two fought at Big Bear over the video Liam made for Steffy, Hope retreated back home, and in a new promo, may be considering ending her engagement for good now.
"It's happening all over again mom," Hope (Kim Matula) says to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) in the promo.
It seems though, that she may have finally had enough with feeling like she's always Liam's second choice, and that instead of letting him break her heart by being with Steffy again, she could consider ending things herself.
"I'm not going to share Liam with Steffy again," she says.
Meanwhile, Quinn (Rena Sofer), who overheard Hope's phone conversation with her mother about coming home, now knows for a fact that her plan to split the couple up could be working, and appears to have gone to her son, Wyatt (Darin Brooks), to tell him the good news.
'Bold and the Beautiful' Spoilers: Quinn Convinces Brooke That Hope Marrying Liam is a Mistake?
Wyatt though, appears unhappy with the news that Hope may be single again, because she has already rejected his advances in favor of his brother.
"I asked her to postpone the wedding," he says to Quinn. "When we down in Mexico, I just...I had to say it. I just couldn't help myself."
Liam (Scott Clifton) may not be giving up on Hope without a fight either, possibly asking his father, Bill (Don Diamont) for advice on how to handle his issues with both Hope and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
"You better make damn sure that you're prepared to give her the right answer," Bill says.
The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.

Joell Ortiz - Memories
Artist: Joell Ortiz
Producer: Salaam Remi
Album: Free Agent (Mixtape)
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 13 votes )
In case you didn't know, Joell Ortiz is not that different from you and I. Like Ortiz, if your brain is clouded by the last ten years of hip hop, you might want to recall some of your fondest Memories. No longer signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, the newly turned free-agent turns honest over producer Salaam Remi's sample-riddled concoction, reminding listeners what it feels like to rip open a brand new album and immediately call all your friends to hype it up. A line from this new single provides proof of the Brooklyn emcee's inventive wordplay, "if my memories serve me correct losing sucks/ so I'm in it for the gold like Scrooge McDuck" Ortiz' forthcoming Free Agent mixtape is set to drop this September.

San Antonio, Tex...
finally accomplished making a 2XL Men's shirt to a dress!
no pattern or drafting used, I just went with what felt and fit right.
I re-used the collar as flaps for the bodice.
the skirt is beautifully gathered, very proud of myself.
NO ZIPPER REQUIRED! the buttons are totally re-useable
I love the fit and how well it came out.
The belt really ties it together though.
making a hair bow from straps later.
thrifted XXL men's shirt
matching thread
That's it!

Since I can never seem to find the information that I am looking for online regarding airports, below is what I found during my trip in February 2008:
Delhi: The international airport was not as big or as crazy as I had imagined. Not big at all, really, when compared with US airports like Newark, JFK, Atlanta. Lots of lines--to get through the door, to get your luggage scanned and tied, to check in at the airline counter, immigration, security, more security, several pat downs. Allow enough time to clear all these hurdles. No airlines except Air India seem to have permanent counters, so it's like a treasure hunt finding your airline. Only the large airlines have jetways; otherwise, it's shuttle bus service. There's not much inside in the way of services: a few shops, a few food carts/counters, two airline lounges (outside security), and one table-service restaurant (outside security). There is smoking in the table-service restaurant only. The domestic terminal is in three separate buildings about 30 minutes from the international terminal. There's a bus between the two (which we didn't use) or hire any taxi ($3 or $4 US). There is no smoking in the domestic terminals that I could see. No airlines have jetways, so it is necessary to take a shuttle bus to/from the planes. The buses don't seem to board until the exact time that you think your flight should leave, so don't get antsy!
Agra: Small airport, with one shop, post office. There were spots for a bank and a restaurant, but neither was open when we were there. It seems that only Indian Air and Kingfisher fly to/from here. It's on a military base. Locals we spoke to even seemed surprised that it was open to commercial traffic (I think it may have been closed for awhile). You can't smoke inside, but it would be easy to pop back outside (not as much initial security here as at other airports, nor the crowds).
Varanasi: Small airport, with a few small shops, post office, table-service restaurant (outside security). Inside security, there is nothing but seating and restrooms, although men carry around snacks and drinks for purchase. No smoking inside, but available in the table-service restaurant.
Kathmandu: The international airport is decent, with several shops, including two duty-free. There is no sit-down restaurant inside security (or outside that I could see), but there is a counter serving sandwiches, etc. There is smoking inside--pretty much anywhere. There is a computer/internet café with several laptops, and some TVs to pass the time. The domestic airport is next door, but in a separate building (walkable). It also allowed smoking inside, and had three small shops, as well as TVs.
Pokhara: Small airport, with table-service restaurant (outside security) and combination snack/souvenir shop inside security. No smoking inside.
New Delhi Railway Station: A total zoo--inside and out! But what a great experience! If you purchase e-tickets online, you can go straight to your platform. Double-check your name (for seat assignments) on the papers plastered to the wall near the platform. We weren't prepared for this station, and got the runaround from supposedly official employees who told us we needed stamps on our tickets and ran us up/downstairs and across the parking lot like maniacs (unnecessarily). I'm not sure what the scam was--but it was worth the $5 we paid to have a porter carry our luggage on his head, wait on the platform with us, and stow our luggage overhead on the train (get there early, or they run out of space). Food, drinks, and newspapers served on the 2-hour ride between New Delhi and Agra. Fairly comfortable ride in air-conditioned chair class. Did not use the restrooms on the train, which was probably wise. No smoking. Not a bad way to travel a short distance, and quite inexpensive ($15 for 2 one-way tickets).
India/Nepal Airport Information
Since I can never seem to find the information that I am looking for online regarding airports, below is what I found during my trip in February 2008:

Thanks for this info. We're planning a return to Nepal in November (I was last there in 1994). It sounds like the airport has been vastly upgraded.
At that time, in the domestic airport, people and their "baggage" were weighed - the baggage often consisting of rolls of chickenwire and goats...
What was your experience of the domestic flight from KTM to Pokara - aircraft, safety, etc.?

WATCH: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Teaser Trailer and Promo Images Released
BY Brian Andersen
June 25 2014 6:47 PM ET
Fans of the Hunger Games movie series have been treated to some beautiful promotional images and a new teaser trailer destined to set tongues wagging in anticipation of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Though this film, the third installment in the series, won't hit theaters until November 21, the early media blitz is already pulling moviegoers into the world of Panem.
The stunningly shot images feature various working-class people of Panem — including famed hunk and Marine turned model Alex Minsky — as reflections of their seven districts. The arresting images are labeled "District Heroes," though it's clear they are less of a celebration and more of a depiction of the struggle and adversity each hero faces in the unbalanced class system of the movie's world.
The teaser trailer is a cold, stark-white piece of political propaganda attempting to rally the citizens behind the Capitol, the ruling body of the Hunger Games, or face the consequences. It features Donald Sutherland as the menacing President Snow and LGBT ally Josh Hutcherson as the male damsel in distress Peeta.
Watch the trailer and sneak a peek at the promo images below.

Denmark Backs Up the OOXML Outrage
The official appeals over OOXML's adoption as an international standard have been coming in left and right over the last week or so, leading up to last Thursday's deadline for appealing the adoption. Now, those appeals are being backed up by a letter of protest from Denmark, delivered directly to the ISO Vice President.
According to the ever-vigilant watchdogs at Groklaw, Denmark's Open Source Leverandørforeningen — the Association for Open Source Vendors — takes issue with the manner in which the OOXML approval was handled by Dansk Standard, and has lodged a formal protest with the ISO. In a letter sent to the head of Dansk Standard, who just happens to be ISO Vice President, OSL alleges a lack of consensus within Dansk Standard and a violation of it's own rules, as well as a violation of the ISO's directives — a charge common to all of the appeals and protests so far. They go on to assert that the fast-track process under which OOXML was considered was not only mismanaged, but rendered void by the ISO's failure to publish a final version of the standard by the end of March.
So far, South Africa and Brazil have lodged formal appeals with the ISO, while several other countries are battling it out against their national standards bodies via their national governments. Jacob Holmblad — the Dansk Standard Director/ISO Vice President — told Computerworld that he will be in Geneva next week, and expects to see the issue addressed while he is there. Something tells us, however, that it will be a long, long time before we finally see the OOXML debacle truly addressed.

Please, please, please...
"...and a violation of it's own rules..."
That error is *so* primary and annoying!
As a person who uses the English language to make a living, the author has no right to make that kind of mistake!
Hyperbole aside, I appreciate you pointing out the error; at 110 words per minute, I have a tendency to interchange the two.
Allow me to return the favor with a bit of sage advice I received very early on: "When pointing out the flaws of others, be sure not to leave your own exposed." To wit: "Leave one regular space — never a thin — on both sides of an ellipsis." Id est "Please, please, please ... " and " ... and a violation of it's own rules ... "

With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I've been playing World of Warcraft off and on since it launched in 2004, but the Burning Crusade expansion came at the perfect time in my life. Throughout the years I've been dabbling in the other expansions, leveling up my characters and only stopping to raid mostly in Lich King before taking it casual.

It feels like only a few weeks since Five Nights at Freddy's managed to completely ruin my childhood memories of family restaurants and dancing animatronics. The creepy horror/resource management game put you in the shoes of a night security guard at the world's worst Chuck E. Cheese's knock-off and made sure you'd never look at those restaurants the same way again after viewing them through the distorted lens of static-ridden security cameras.
Now, just after I've managed to sweep up the jagged psychic debris of that disaster, they want me to spend another fun-filled week at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Tengami has been out on iOS devices for quite some time but has now finally made its debut on Wii U. I think it's great that the Wii U has the perfect setup for iOS games to make a pretty seamless transition thanks to the GamePad. I already love the GamePad for the unique gameplay potential it brings, so this is an extra bonus!
Tengami is a particular game for a particular type of enjoyment. Sometimes you might just need to relax a bit after murdering hundreds or solving awful murder mysteries and just...slide some paper to one of the most relaxing soundtracks you'll come across!view full story + comments

Far Cry 3 was one of my favorite games of 2012. It didn't stray too far from the normal sandbox conventions set before it, but gallivanting around beautiful island vistas and flying about with wingsuits was pretty damn fun.

Hatsune Miku is an international sensation. Despite the fact that she's a simple digital creation, she's managed to rack up a massive amount of record sales and sold-out concerts, including a tour with Lady Gaga and even an appearance on Letterman.
It's impossible to ignore her cultural significance now as she only skyrockets in popularity, and with Sega publishing the sequel to last year's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F, now's a better time than ever to get acquainted with the diminutive diva. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd is your ticket to J-Pop heaven, overflowing with content and a real challenge for anyone who decides to take the plunge.view full story + comments
Ever since its 2007 debut, the Assassin's Creed franchise has been presented as a one-sided affair. Chronicling the persistent struggle between the Assassins and the Templars, Ubisoft has always framed the story casting the former in a positive light. Assassin's Creed Rogue has a new take on that formula, which, in some ways, makes it the most refreshing, thought-provoking, and introspective installment in the series to date.
Unfortunately, it's also the laziest.view full story + comments
Some may call Senran Kagura inherently tasteless, but the series of action-packed brawlers has depth and satisfying combat. The games have swept the handheld community mainly because of their increasingly risqué content, but their best-kept secret is that they're just plain fun.
Yeah, there's a whole lot of indecent exposure in each of the Senran Kagura games. No one's disputing that. But so what? These are genuinely fun and engaging titles, and the latest spinoff under the Senran Kagura umbrella is no different. Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! may be lighthearted and riddled with thinly veiled jokes about male anatomy, but it's also a challenging rhythm game skewed toward an adult audience that can be enjoyed by just about anyone -- especially if you like your sundaes with Senran Kagura girls on top. Just don't expect award-winning prose or Grammy-nominated tracks.view full story + comments
The Tales series may not have the same cachet in the West as do other prominent role-playing game franchises, but its renown is definitely on the rise. Bandai Namco has expressed more confidence in the franchise in recent years, showing a willingness to push Tales as a global brand rather than just a curiosity for Japanese audiences.
It seems there's a market for this sort of thing -- a healthy niche that appreciates something more antique in a world so obsessed with pioneering and being cutting-edge. Time marches on and the Tales series digs its heels into the ground, refusing to yield to fads and ephemeral trends. It's old-fashioned to a fault. But would you have it any other way?view full story + comments
In 2011, I lost a chunk of my life. An insidious tendril of addiction, despair, and obsession caught me by the ankle and dragged me into the The Binding of Isaac's darkened basement. I lost dozens of hours, whole days at a time. I let life slip by around me while muttering a demented mantra of "just one more try, just one more try..."
Now with the release of Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, a 16-bit looking half-remake, half-sequel of the original, I can feel the same cold touch on my leg. Its grip is stronger than ever, pulling me back into the same dark pit. I should kick and scream and try to escape... Well, maybe just one more try won't kill me.view full story + comments
Assassin's Creed IV was a turning point for the series. While a lot of fans were disappointed by the pointless Revelations and the polarizing Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag delivered everything you could possibly want from Ubisoft, and then some. Fans embarked on quite the adventure with Edward Kenway, and many newcomers even described it as "a pirate game that happens to be Assassin's Creed."
Assassin's Creed Unity doesn't live up to the new standard set by Black Flag, but it's a journey worth taking if you're already into the series, and proves that the franchise is still sustainable.view full story + comments
Dragon Age II felt like a great action game that was outsourced to a lesser developer. It lacked the polish BioWare typically puts into its titles, and almost the entire affair felt like a gigantic step back from everything Origins had established. What was once a promising franchise that reminded me of the glory days of RPGs such as Baldur's Gate became a shadow of its former self, with lazily re-used assets and no sense of scale.
BioWare went back to the drawing board with Inquisition, the third Dragon Age outing, and the game is all the better for it. It feels like a culmination of its predecessors' strengths, with all of the bells and whistles that come with current-gen hardware.view full story + comments
The prospect of playing as a Ninja again in Final Fantasy excited me. After working my way up to level 50 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the class ended up having so much style and substance that it changed the game for the better, and I'll be enjoying it for months to come.
While the rest of the Dreams of Ice update wasn't as enjoyable as playing a Ninja at endgame, A Realm Reborn remains worth playing.view full story + comments
Do you live for the thrill of belting out your favorite songs whenever you've got five minutes to yourself? Are you an amateur singer looking for guidance, or a professional looking for something fun to brush up your vocal technique? Do you love NBC's The Voice? Then go out right now and pick up Rock Band 3 or Guitar Hero 5. Or, get a karaoke machine and a vocal coach. Whatever the case, you're going to absolutely loathe The Voice: I Want You.
But, you're not going to hate it because it has a dizzyingly awful male version of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" or embarrassingly haphazard song accompaniments that resemble Just Dance crossed with a slapdash lyric video on YouTube created with iMovie. You won't even hate it because it features a startling lack of interesting or exciting songs to sing along to. You'll hate it because it's such an obvious money grab, an uninspired cash-in that exists solely to rake in dough from unsuspecting buyers looking to replicate the experience so many dream of having -- standing onstage before The Voice's celebrity judges and angling for stardom.view full story + comments
Although Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was a noble effort to remaster the original game that brought first-person shooters on consoles into a post-Goldeneye era, I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the overall package.
I enjoyed the idea of replaying the original, but there weren't enough bells and whistles to keep me interested for a lengthy period of time. Enter the Master Chief Collection, which not only gives you the remake of the first game, but a fully-featured remaster of Halo 2, as well as Halo 3 and 4.
I never thought I'd see the day when four major Halo games are under one roof [disc], but here we are. With promises of full 1080p support and 60 frames-per-second across every game, Halo: The Master Chief Collection follows through where it counts, and is now the new standard for remakes.view full story + comments
Ever since it came out in Japan earlier this year, Freedom Wars has been high on my list of anticipated releases. Being from the illustrious SCE Japan Studio, the game found success overseas as one of the Vita's answers to a lack of the market-leading Monster Hunter franchise, which jumped platforms with the advent of the Nintendo 3DS.
As a hunting game, Freedom Wars certainly stays true to the heart of the genre, but differentiates itself enough to claim its own spot among the giants.

After the disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision needed fresh ideas, and Sledgehammer was just the developer for the job. Even before it delivered its first game, a weight has been lifted off of Infinity Ward and Treyarch's shoulders. No longer does it need to turnaround a Call of Duty every other year, and there is more time to figure out how to make the series fresh again.
As a result, Sledgehammer has a lot riding on Advanced Warfare, the newest game in the series. It has everything going for it -- a fresh futuristic theme, the same core multiplayer gameplay everyone knows and loves, and the talented Kevin Spacey running the show with the campaign.
The gambit paid off, even if it won't bring back in those who have sworn off the series.view full story + comments
[Note: Jonathan Holmes' name appears in the Special Thanks section of Woah Dave!'s credits. No one knows why. One guess is it's because Jonathan and Woah Dave! creator Jason Cirillo had a decent conversation at PAX East 2014, during which time Jonathan was wearing a Woah Dave! t-shirt. Maybe that's it.]
Woah Dave! is a game that you don't want to get excited for. Any hype at all, even the slightest praise, might ruin your chance of getting into it. Ironically, there are plenty of reasons why some people can't help but be excited for Dave. For one, it's the latest game from Choice Provisions (formerly known as Gaijin Games), who have quite a large and dedicated following chomping at the bit for a new game from the studio. Not only that, but Woah Dave! has both an exclamation point and the word "woah" in the title, as though the game itself is excited that it exists.
If you go into the game expecting to say "woah!" right away, you may be disappointed. Like Super Crate Box, Geometry Wars, or Samurai Gunn, it's not a game that works to impress at first. That makes it all the more surprising when you discover how deep, intense, and unpredictable this game of controlled chaos can get.view full story + comments
The visual novel genre is multifaceted. It runs the gamut from awe-inspiring and horrifying (à la personal favorite Saya no Uta) to controversial (such as the excellent Kana: Little Sister). Others still are simple vehicles for debauchery and sexual desires involving women whose cups runneth over and devilishly handsome men. And that's awesome.
Those types of games are fun, perverse thrill rides that offer colorful characters, familiar tropes, and a waifu or husbando for everyone. I've completed dozens in my time, and I'm always on the lookout for great ones, whether they're fluffy romantic otome titles or hardcore guro sleazefests. But, like any other genre, they can be hit or miss.view full story + comments
I still can't believe Square Enix salvaged the original Final Fantasy XIV. I mean, it had the guts to make the game a core entry, so I'm glad the studio reworked it into A Realm Reborn -- this whole saga is just really interesting to me.
The newest update is Dreams of Ice, featuring a Primal/Summon many fans of the classic series know and love, Shiva. It also brings along the typical major changes and content bits, as well as one of the biggest additions so far -- a new class/job.view full story + comments
After booting the game up, it's apparent that Sunset Overdrive is the result of Insomniac Games going back to its roots. Before the developer was called upon to release the shades-of-brown-tinted Resistance and Fuse, it was known for the bright and exciting Spyro and Ratchet & Clank franchises, which were among the PlayStation's finest offerings for gamers of all ages.
Not only is Sunset bright and exciting, it's actually a good game too.view full story + comments
It wasn't surprising to hear that the long-awaited Dreamfall Chapters would be split into separate episodes -- it's in the name, really. Episodic adventure games are well established now, so in my mind, separating a new Dreamfall game into smaller chunks isn't a bad idea.
Book One starts at the end of 2006's Dreamfall: The Longest Journey so if you've been dying to see what happens to Zoë, Kian et al. then you'll be glad to have this story continued. Series newcomers might be left scratching their heads, wondering what's going on. Trouble is, this episode doesn't do much to help you understand what's happening. You're left wanting more.view full story + comments
At a glance, it's easy to look at Mind Zero and compare it to the Persona series given its art style and the narrative advertised within early trailers and promotional materials. And you wouldn't be incorrect in declaring that it borrows several elements from the popular role-playing series.
Still, it's unfair to call Mind Zero a copycat when its most fundamental elements are much different from the Shin Megami Tensei spinoff. That doesn't mean the game is actually all that impressive, however. Acquire and ZeroDiv's Vita RPG features an interesting premise, but in the end it's a weaker product than those that obviously inspired it.view full story + comments
Outside of Devil May Cry 3, Bayonetta is one of the finest action games of all time. The action systems were so clean, so precise, and so rewarding that it leaves pretty much everything these days in the dust.
Bayonetta 2 doesn't change a whole lot, and that's perfectly okay with me.view full story + comments
One of the biggest gripes I hear from friends interested in but hesitant to play Japanese role-playing games is that they're too "complicated." It's a sentiment I've never understood; several take great pains to be accessible and enjoyable to a wide variety of players. Unfortunately, my explanations of tropes and tried-and-true mechanics aren't usually enough to sway the potential players, and they're swept away by a title of a different ilk.
That's why Fantasy Life is such an interesting case. It takes familiar elements such as classes, grinding for XP, and character customization and distills them into something that can be digested by just about any type of player. Oh, and it helps that it's a lot of fun, too.view full story + comments
Educational games that impart knowledge while remaining entertaining are certified rarities. Too often you're left with staggering amounts of informative material and meager side portions of "game" that contribute to a rather lopsided product.
Pokémon Art Academy is an interesting blend of both, with useful tips and tricks, drawing instruction, and helpful guidance for fledgling artists or those who simply want to learn how to draw their favorite Pocket Monsters. It's just like the learn-to-draw books you could pick up at the store, but with real-time feedback.view full story + comments
I've always thought that Shantae is a bit of an underrated series. While WayForward can be hit or miss these days, I can always rely on their ability to craft a good platformer. Shantae: Risky's Revenge for the DSi is one of my favorite games in the genre, so naturally I gravitated towards the follow-up, Pirate's Curse.
While Curse takes a few steps back from the formula developed by its predecessor, it's still a great action-romp that any 2D fan can get behind.view full story + comments
"Civilization, but set in the future on an alien planet." That is really all Firaxis and 2K needed to say to get people excited for the next entry in the long-running turn-based strategy series. There is a fair amount of new ideas to be found here: new systems to explore, new technology to research, and new obstacles to overcome.
But even with everything new, Civilization: Beyond Earth is still Civilization, but set in the future on an alien planet. And it is exactly as good as that sounds.view full story + comments

It's a weird time to be Harmonix. It is hands down one of the most successful and influential independent developers of all time. It led the development and popularization of an entire genre of games over the last generation; who else can say that? At the height of its power, the company released a near-perfect game with Rock Band 3, and it's still just about the only studio to have ever done right by the Kinect.
But times change, the rhythm-game craze is over. All of those plastic instruments Harmonix built its name on are gathering dust in closets or bargain bins, and the masses openly celebrated when Microsoft took the Kinect out of the box. So what is Harmonix to do?
Go and make an old-school 2D shoot-'em-up, apparently.view full story + comments
One of the biggest surprises of 2014 had to be the announcement of a Legend of Korra game, published by Activision and developed by Platinum Games. Yes, that Platinum Games -- the current master of action titles.
It's only been a few months since the reveal of said Korra game, and already it's out on just about every platform imaginable outside of the Wii U. While the core result is indicative of Platinum's seal of quality, it feels rushed in many ways.view full story + comments
While the Dynasty Warriors series is often heralded as the pinnacle of Omega Force's hack-and-slash catalog, the lesser-known Samurai franchise has been churning out some of the best games in the stable.
Based around the Sengoku era of Japan, Samurai Warriors mixes things up with unique offerings like ninjas, samurai, and historical figures such as Goemon Ishikawa and Musashi Miyamoto. If you can get past the repetition, Samurai Warriors 4 delivers another hearty helping of action the developer is known for.view full story + comments

Fantasia holds a special place in my heart. My wife and I both grew up playing instruments, and whenever a song comes on from the film, we get to share a little moment as Disney fans. Yes, PhilharMagic is one of our favorite attractions at Disney World.
So when I heart that Harmonix was making a Fantasia game, I got excited -- until I heard that it had at least one song by Drake in it. Of course, my full judgment was reserved for the finished product, and I found it to be a magical experience overall.view full story + comments
If you want to think outside the box, the role-playing genre may not be the perfect playground for you -- at least, when it comes to traditional Japanese titles, which generally confine themselves to a set of tried-and-true mechanics. For some, that's acceptable. We know what we're getting into, and what to expect. When it comes to Compile Heart's latest, Fairy Fencer F, it's clear that the company. famous for the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. went back to basics in order to tell its newest story of fairies, furies, and fencers.
Unfortunately, "back to basics" in this instance translates to a dull slog through menus, tutorials, and conversations interspersed with combat. And while the combat is enjoyable, there just isn't enough of it to propel you through the slower parts.view full story + comments
Alien: Isolation has received a lot of praise over its faithful recreation of the original film's lo-fi take on science fiction. "Truckers in space" was the aesthetic director Ridley Scott set out to capture and the decks and corridors of the shipping vessel Nostromo defined a sci-fi art style for 35 years.
Titan has a new book out showcasing the concept art and illustrations that inspired Isolation but they could have just as easily come from a book showing the ideas behind the original movie.

I grew up happily playing Shinji Mikami's games, and he's probably one of the most influential directors/producers that ever lived. I remember the first time I played Resident Evil, the day I bought Devil May Cry from EB Games, and the exact moment when my friend showed me God Hand.
All in all Mikami has worked on over 20 major games that have impacted the industry in some way. Even if The Evil Within is one of the worst in the bunch, it's still in good company.view full story + comments
In the world of Senran Kagura, excess is the rule. The outfits are skimpy, the plot threads are ludicrous, and the breasts are laughably large, so huge in fact that you wonder how the skimpy bras the girls are eventually stripped down to are actually wrangling those things.
But beneath a veneer of silliness and near-parodical levels of fan service lies a brawler with plenty of hack and slash goodness to offer.view full story + comments
In Fyodor Dostoyevsky's weighty novel Crime and Punishment, the central character robs and murders a loan shark and pawn broker but justifies the act in his own mind because he will use the money for good. Doestoyevsky's anti-hero believes that even murder is justified if some benefit can come of it, that even a wicked act can have some merit. Eventually, besieged by guilt, he confesses to his crime and accepts his punishment.
Throughout Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, there are frequent loading screens where you'll see the titular detective flick through Dostoyevsky's work and it seems to have had an effect on him. Now Sherlock can decide if a crime truly was justified and how he will punish the guilty. It's a novel approach that unfortunately only partially works out.view full story + comments
The Short Peace project was born out a desire to unite some of Japan's most talented artists and tell stories about the country's past, present, and a possible future. The result is a lovely bouquet of action, romance, and social commentary, a collection of four animated short films that are thought-provoking, gorgeous, and brilliant in just about every way.
The anthology also includes a game, Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day, a modest collaboration between Grasshopper Manufacture and Tokyo Jungle studio Cripsy's that seems doomed to live in the shadow of greatness.view full story + comments
[Disclosure: Anthony Burch, one of the writers for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, was previously employed at Destructoid. As always, no relationships, personal or professional, were factored into the review.]
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I can imagine that mantra circulating the 2K Australia office as the team worked on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Gearbox had a huge hit on its hands with Borderlands 2, and there is not much reason to mess with a winning formula.
To be clear, a lot of what matters is new. The story, playable characters, environments, dialogue, and physics are all new. Despite that, it all feels very familiar. Where a number of core systems were significantly upgraded between the first and second games in the series, The Pre-Sequel's additions are much less pronounced.
One odd aspect of some of the new content that this entry brings to the vault hunting universe is that it feels more like Borderlands than Borderlands 2 in some ways, for better and for worse.view full story + comments

Although it's been a lot tougher to get people together for a Dance Central party than a Rock Band one, Harmonix's new franchise gave some hope for the Kinect, as it was one of the most accurate games for it.
The series isn't as groundbreaking as it used to be -- especially in the era of Kinect-less Xbox Ones -- but it's still good for a fun dance session every so often. That also goes for Dance Central Spotlight.view full story + comments

Capcom announces Breath of Fire 6 amid slew of online games
For a decade Capcom brought the JRPG series worldwide to consoles, including the SNES, PS1, and PS2, but has since restricted the series to Japan-only mobile games. Breath of Fire 6 is the series' first numbered entry since 2003, and the first of those not announced for a console. As for it heading west, Capcom told Eurogamer it's "currently undecided." Either way, the game comes to Japan in summer 2014.
Capcom's unveiled collection of upcoming online games also featured the previously announced Deep Down for PS4, and Monster Hunter Frontier G for PS3 and Wii U. As for the newly announced online games, they're mostly restricted to iOS and Android, and as Capcom stated aren't on the whole likely to be released outside of Japan and Asia.
You can see Capcom's released list of upcoming online games, along with their platforms and release dates in Japan and Asia, here.
