Enes Kanter is possibly suffering from a phone addiction
Training Camp:
CJ Miles: [Kanter] doesn't talk much, actually. But for somebody that doesn't talk much, he always has his phone in his hand. It's amazing. He always has his phone. You'll see him, he'll nod at you, and just put his phone back up. Who is he talking to, 'cause he doesn't talk to us. (2)
Regular Season:
Civil Rights Museum Visit:
Update: Coincidentally, David Locke talks about Enes and his phone in his podcast today.
[Kanter] was neglecting some of his rookie duties and Al Jefferson has taken it upon himself to really put the screws on Enes and make him do an awful lot of rookie duties. It's actually been good in the sense that Enes had really dove into his phone and was pretty quiet and staying out of the way. (2)
Yes, this is a completely and utterly useless off-day post.* And yes, you'll never get those 47 seconds back.
* Then again, one of the most "I'm really bored today" posts I ever wrote somehow became one of the top three most viewed posts ever on this site. I would not have guessed that that many people find Deron Williams' hair that interesting, but what do I know?

Hana! Now we need to find out what kind of phone he has.

|Gluten-free pasta frittata made with brown rice penne.
Summer is officially upon us- allegedly. And by us I mean those of us calling the Northern hemisphere our home. See? I didn't forget you lovely readers from the topsy-turvy land Down Under, strapped to snowboards or skiing the snowy slopes of Victoria in need of steaming mugs of soup and plates of comfort food. I know it's winter for you. I get it. I do. I'm chilly, too. I've got Popsicle toes. And just so you know I'm not pulling your leg, Mate, I'll let you in on a little secret.
I'm not sporting a bikini these days, either.
Well, I don't actually own a bikini, so that might not be terribly shocking news (I don't think I've even touched a bikini since 1982, and for that wise choice alone, countless thousands are grateful).
I'm still layering my long sleeved tees and thick fuzzy sweatshirts, you see. Here in Redondo Beach we have the annual weather effect (grumpily or fondly) known as June Gloom. Brushed velvet fog and low slung clouds hug the coast each morning and shower us with mist that would make Ireland proud.
It's a marine layer issue, so they say.
After three (long) sun baked years in Northern New Mexico, I rather like it. It's moody and hushed and inspiring in a rainy day spirit sort of way, transforming the technicolor blue of L.A. skies into wallflower introversion, softening and muting the usual exuberance and clamor that is Los Angeles. It's the kind of weather that makes you crave a good book.
And a lazy brunch.
Perhaps this light and easy frittata recipe will please both hemispheres.
Those in bikinis, and those snug in UGGs .
|Fresh parsley, mint, chives, sweet red pepper and free-range eggs.
|Baked to perfection. A light and easy frittata for brunch.
Gluten-Free Frittata Recipe with Brown Rice Penne
6 large organic free-range eggs
1/2 cup non-dairy cream, sour cream or plain yogurt
Sea Salt and ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
Olive oil
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup diced yellow bell pepper
2 cups brown rice penne, cooked to al dente
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Whisk the eggs with the non-dairy cream till frothy. Season to taste with sea salt, parsley, chives, and mint. Set aside.
Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Place it on medium heat and cook the red and yellow pepper for 4-5 minutes, until slightly browned and softened.
Add the cooked brown rice penne to the skillet, and stir gently to combine it with the peppers, arranging the penne evenly in the pan.
Quickly pour the egg mixture all over the penne pasta and peppers. Using a small spatula or spoon, shimmy the pasta a bit to allow the egg mixture to seep in and around each piece.
After a minute or so on medium heat, remove the skillet from the stove and place it in the center of a preheated oven. Bake the frittata for about 20 minutes, until the frittata is set in the center, and golden brown around the edges. Use a thin knife to check the center for doneness, if you like.
Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before serving (this makes it much easier to slice).
Dairy Options:
Replace non-dairy cream with organic sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add 4 oz organic goat cheese, feta, or shredded cheese on the top.
Cook time: 20 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 hearty servings. Serves 6 as a side dish.

Reginald Vaughn Finley, Sr. (born in 1974) is an Informal Science Educator, Critical Thinking Advocate, and Genealogist. He is also a US Army Veteran and served overseas during Operation Able Sentry in 1995. In 1999, he also worked for a time as a "phone psychic" with the Psychic Network in which he learned first-hand how people fool themselves into believing the strangest of things. Finley gave a talk about this experience at a Center for Inquiry conference in 2001 and later published his experiences in multiple languages all over the world.
At age 24, while attending St. Leo College, he studied philosophy and religion and soon became interested in the ill-effects of mal-thinking. In his community, he recognized a trend towards anti-intellectualism, a disdain for independent thought, and a general lack of respect for any scientific concept that went against the theological status quo. Seeing this imbalance in his community, Finley decided to take it upon himself to challenge what he saw as far too much common-thinking. Finley soon began identifying himself as an Infidel, Critical Thinking Advocate, Theological Noncognitivist, and many other wholesome identifiers.
Lacking a formal education or even experience in radio, at age 25, Reggie launched an 11 year internet media career (1999-2010) focusing on educating the public about science, philosophy, ethics, freethought, and the value of Critical Thinking. Finley's Programs: "The Debate Hour" , "Freethought Media", "Infidel Radio", and "The Infidel Guy Show" featured personalities from across the philosophical spectrum, including scientists Michio Kaku and Richard Dawkins, lawyers Eddie Tabash and Michael Newdow, creationist Kent Hovind, Ali Sina of Faith Freedom International, biologists Massimo Pigliucci & Neil Shubin, and seasoned skeptic Michael Shermer, founder of the Skeptics Society.
At its end, at the age of 36, Finley produced over 600 programs. I.G., as fans called him, frequently identified himself as just a regular guy. His shows were never top quality nor were they designed to impress the intelligensia, but he always had interesting guests on that helped challenge and change the thinking of hundreds of thousands around the world.
He has also made a number of media appearances himself including being featured in the Sacramento Bee, CFI's Television Show, ABC News, Cincinatti's 700WLW, Michio Kaku's Program (Visions), The Young Turks, and dozens more. Finley's family appeared on ABC's reality show Wife Swap on November 28, 2005, when his then wife (Amber) switched places with the wife of a devout Christian pastor.
After the meteoric rise of youtube and the Financial Crisis of 2007, Finley returned to corporate America and rarely conducted any more programs. After the death of his mother in 2011, he began to reinvent himself and created a new informal science education program called The Fun Scientists LLC.
Finley finally completed his Bachelors in Human Development at Amridge University(2011) and went on to complete a Master of Education Degree from SUNY at Buffalo specializing in The Public's Understanding of Science(2013).
Finley now volunteers for various science-oriented non-profits with aspirations of moving into a full-time Education Director position. He is also pursuing a professorship teaching subjects such as: Critical Thinking, the Philosophy of Science, Persuasive Communication, Logic and Rhetoric, Human Development, Human Motivation, and dozens more. He is currently earning a PhD in Education with a Specialization in Science Education from Walden University, and hopes to soon start a Graduate Certificate Program in Critical Thinking. His research interests lie in The Application of Critical Thinking in Managerial Decision-Making as well as Investigating How Cultural Beliefs Impact the Public Understanding and Acceptance of Science.
Finley has contemplated conducting a new program which would reflect his maturation over the years as well as reflect newly acquired knowledge and perspectives obtained during his University education and abroad.
In his freetime, he enjoys movies with his family, reading non-fiction (in particular science news), web mastering, and studying as many free courses he can at Alison, Coursera, EdX and Khan Academy.

Samsung WB5000
In the world of the serious superzoom bridge cameras, Samsung's WB5000 is currently the company's only fully-loaded model. It sports an 24x f/2.8–5.0 zoom lens, a 12Mp sensor with with RAW mode shooting and 720p HD video recording. It also features dual optical and digital image stabilisation, two user-defined shooting modes and …
Fewer gimmicks, less noise please
Another camera with lots of bells and whistles, but which fails at the basics - producing a clear noise-free picture.
I bought a Lumix FZ38 at the beginning of the year to replace an ageing HP Photosmart compact camera from around 2000 that had been dropped once to many times.
It was pretty sad that new camera exhibited substantially more noise and compression artifacts than the old one.
Can anyone recommend a nice compact zoom, that allows manual control and has a big enough sensor that things don't get all grainy after 200 ASA?
Panasonic LX3?
I like the Panasonic LX3 - manual control, RAW mode and not too slow. The zoom range is limited but suits my kind of photography - mostly buildings, landscapes and macro.
The Leica D-Lux 4 isn't bad. Also, some of the Panasonic Lumix range (which have a lot in common with those baby Leicas including the glass) are nice. Those are pocketable.
If you can stand a tiny bit more size, the Canon Powershot G11 is waffely versatile- shoots raw, has good noise performance, nice manual control. It's somewhere between "pocket" and "bridge" size, about the size of a 35mm rangefinder. That's a fantastic camera for people who want one camera to cover all eventualities without breaking the bank. Focussing suffers a bit from "Canon disease" (their autofocus is a bit pants), but it generally works ok, and it's fun to use.
Canon S90 is pretty nice too, and is smaller, and also shoots raw. Can't comment in detail as I only had a brief play with one, but the output seems ok- maybe look for reviews.
Personally, I carry a Ricoh GR 3 Digital as a pocket street shooter. It has a 28mm equivalent fixed focal length lens, at a very snappy f/1.9. It focusses and works in conditions where I have trouble even seeing. The noise performance and image quality are very impressive for a 400ish quid camera. I have produced images with it that give my DSLR a run for its money, on occasion (when developed properly from raw, of course). It's a tiny little machine, also.
The GR Digital 3 is one of the most fun to use cameras that I have ever owned, but I accept that it's a bit specialised for some folks.
End of waffle, hope that helps, anyway.
Many thanks
That's extremely helpful Mr (or Ms) Anonymous. Thanks for taking the time.
OOOOH! Shiny!
I mean the pages, not the camera
Minority report
"Face Recognition prioritises a familiar faces over unfamiliar ones"
How does it remember familiar faces?
The amount artifacts and noise just makes the picture looks like it's from a cheap CCTV camera.
Doesn't sound that hot
It seems to me that the only benefit the Samsumg offers over the DMC-FZ38 is the extra (x18-24) zoom; in all other departments the Panasonic (with a much superior Leica lens, and costing £50 less) appears to have it beaten.
Both cameras could do with a "hot shoe" to fit an alternative external (higher power) flash unit, though. Would it cost the makers that much?
Hot shoe Flash
I agree about the hot shoe, I have the LX3, lovely camera with a pop up flash and hot shoe. It is probably me, but I find the built in flash a little erratic. Solved it with a "Yongnuo" (Chinese, Ebay) remote that sits on the hot shoe and I have a baby Nikon SB30 flash which I can get off axis for some more creative shots
High Zoom? Shoot the moon
A great test of a high zoom/telephoto is to take a shot or two of the moon.
I do this a lot on my Nikon D90, manual mode, ISO Lo1, Shutter around 1/160, Aperture F/11 with my crappy 300mm tamiya lens. Of course these will change with different camera bodies/lenses but its a good base to work with. A good tripod is a necessity.
Because its only 300mm, I have to crop the photo down from 12mp to around 1024x768, then its framed nicely.
But I didn't catch whether this camera had a manual settings mode or not.
The test is whether the camera can discern the craters sharply on a well crescented or gibbous moon. Its a good test of the sharpness achievable in the middle of the shot and so is the peak sharpness obtainable. I found it also shows up badly compressed JPGs more than a daytime scenery shot.
Perhaps in future (or in an addendum) you could publish shots of the moon on high-zoom review cameras?

Seems mostly like solid information with the exception of the talent build. If you're going to claim that this is the highest threat generating build then might I suggest taking at least one point out of Spiritual Attunement (5% really is enough, and I never run out of mana) and putting it towards Crusade which will increase your damage output. Not my actual build has only 1 pointin conviction (1% + crit) but it has +3% from Crusader and improved movement, less disarm from persuit of justice.
I cant say HOW effective the Persuit of Justice really is (although it's extremly useful), but I can definitly tell you that more damage versus more mana coming in from heals is more threat.

Without calling attention to itself, this necklace made from polished beads of deep green nephrite beads will give your wardrobe a gleaming grandeur that will turn heads wherever you go. The jade stones are interspersed with small sterling silver beads that add a subtle elegance to the creation's design. Measures 17" long plus a 3" extender chain and features sterling silver oval links, a spring ring and monogrammed hallmark tag. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

On February 22, OMEGA Championship Wrestling is doing a live event in Smithfield, North Carolina. Matt Hardy and Shane Helms will be headlining the event as a tag team. Gunner, Christian York and Reby Sky have all been announced for the show as well.
Despite the domestic violence incident and the dual restraining order filed against one another last month, it appears that Matt Hardy and Reby Sky are staying together. Both are still facing battery charges from the incident at the motel room during New Year's day.
TMZ is now providing a little more details into the incident between Matt Hardy and Reby Sky at a motel during New Years Eve that led to their arrest. The gossip website is reporting that Reby was upset with Hardy because she thought he had been drinking or under the influences of drugs.
Matt Hardy and Reby Sky were arrested on January 1, and it somehow managed to avoid the media until now. TMZ has picked up on the story and revealed that the two of them were arrested for fighting one another in a motel room in Virginia. Both were charged with assault and battery.
Independent wrestler Reby Sky, who recently got married to former WWE star Matt Hardy, is currently doing another photo shoot for Playboy. Her first nude pictorial for the magazine was back in 2007.
Rumors have been spreading that a breakup has happened between Reby Sky and Matt Hardy because of all the issues that he has been going through lately, but it appears that the model and wrestler is sticking around and trying to help the former WWE rehabilitate his life.
"It's just so frustrating, because they just released something that was completely not what I said. It's pretty clear that Matt's been needing help, and the other day he was in a bad way and I called for help. Cops came, and all these reports are saying that I led them to some secret cave that contained prescription pills. They never found any prescription pills at all in the house, what they found was steroids. After having to go to the police station to sign all these papers, I come back to my house upside down, there is 5 men in my kitchen and I am being interrogated. Everything that they needed to find was already found. So it is just a whole bunch of hate mail: Reby you snitch, you're a rat. At the end of the day I just wanted Matt to get help, I called for Matt to get help, and guess what? He left this morning for WWE sponsored rehab. He is getting help."
The relationship between Reby Sky and Matt Hardy has become a topic of interest, as there are rumors floating around that she cheated on her boyfriend. However, the speculations were started because of a fake article on a parody website.

May 1, 2013Well, the game is funny and the gameplay excellent. Best weapons ever and the story line dumb as hell. I see a lot people complaining about the game deepness, duration, etc in front of FC3. Hey guy this is a 15$ title! 1/4 of FC3 price. Just be logic. It definitely worth more than 15$.
May 1, 2013somethin that not too many folks will talk about is the music. the music really did it for me. i was laughing or grinning through the entire game because the music turned the game from a sort of funny 80s knockoff to a 100% funny 80s knockoff. you have to play it to understand.
May 3, 2013Absolute perfect 10 game. Had me rolling laughing and enjoying every bit of it. I think growing up in the age to truly understand the references throughout the senses i appreciate the humor, but also always wanting to interact with a Snake Pliskin type character really immersed me thoroughly in the world. Also the value in such a cheap price point really solidified a 10 score. Keep up the good work.… Expand
May 1, 2013DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU WERE NOT BORN IN THE 70'S OR 80'S. You might be able to get by if you were born in the early 90's, but this game makes a ton of references to many 80's action movies. And it is glorious. The FarCry 3 engine feels as great as ever. You start off with a ton of upgrades from the original FarCry 3 (like double jumping takedowns,etc), so right off the bat you feel capable. Throw in 4 extremely powerful weapons and the game does an amazing job of making you feel like a futuristic badass cyborg. The game is extremely corny which in turn makes it extremely funny. I know the game isn't suppose to last too long (from what I've heard, it can take around 6 hours), but in all fairness I paid the same price for Journey. And in both cases, I think both these games are absolutely worth it. Besides, why wouldn't you want to kill a laser eye firing dragon?… Expand
May 8, 2013Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is an amazing standalone expansion pack to the amazing FC3. The story follows Rex Power Colt, a cyber-commando in a 80's action movie style 2007 where the world has been torn apart by nuclear war and the world is filled with neon and lasers.
Though the story isn't that good it is a classic 80's action film plotline and one that is highly enjoyable for high octane thrills and crude humour.
The game plays mostly like FC3 too, just a little stripped down making the game feel a lot smaller than it actually is.
With a campaign of about 3 hours and about 6 hours for the 100% Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is worth that £10, I highly anticipate a sequel, just perhaps a bit longer and more fleshed out.… Expand
May 1, 2013Phenomenal, just about the most 80s you could ever get. The aesthetics of Far Cry 3 are intact, but the guns, and how you play around in your environment are what make the game special. This game will make you laugh, 80s references galore, and you play as Rex Power Colt, who has a flair for stringing together obscenities and making the best/worst one liners ever. If you enjoyed Far Cry, that justifies buying blood dragon, if you enjoy an 80s feel that serves as an excellent parody, and sudo-tribute, you're gonna have a great time too. Don't expect an elaborate story, and while there are a good few missions even after you complete the main story, there isn't a whole lot of depth here. But for the sum of it's parts Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is enjoyable from beginning to end, and will keep you grinning with it's pop culture, and it's abundant over the top awesomeness.… Expand
May 1, 2013Lasers, 80s keyboard music, 80s references, 80s one liners, dinosaurs, and Nes style cinematics! Entirely awesome new map complete with multiple garrisons and new campaign to blast through. Worth every penny!
May 1, 2013one of the only games that make you laugh not only with violence but with stupid and brainless quotes
to. if you know 80s movies etc it wil make you day worth its moneys!!
May 3, 2013This game is fun and entertaining, it takes me back to the 80's cyberpunk era and make me wanna kill cyborgs and shoot with laser guns, this is a must have for anyone who like cyberpunk things!
May 1, 2013I will admit i am a little biased as i grew up on action films from the 80's and 90's but this game is great. If your a fan of the old style action movies this is the game for you. It has everything the hit and miss one liner's, a great soundtrack, explosions, big guns, ridiculous plots, all in all its a great game. The gameplay is great, and while it uses the same engine as farcry 3 the game has a much different feel to it. Got to say this game is pure cheese and man is it worth the fifteen dollars. It takes away the crafting farcry 3 had for the most part and hunting is mostly just for fun now but the game is still great. You start out with some abilities that you wouldn't have in farcry 3 and the leveling system is now linear you gain a certain bonus at a certain level but for me that wasn't a bother. I don't know what made Ubisoft make this game but i am so glad they did!… Expand
May 3, 2013Brilliant game, worth all 1200 microsoft points. The game is a beautiful look at and 80's arcade game with nowadays graphics (except the nostalgic cut-scenes which are hilarious). I does justice to old 80's arcade games by being over the top and with brilliant and hilarious dialogue. The gameplay is the same as far cry 3 which means it is brilliant and easy to get into if you have played far cry 3 or not. Michael Biehn is great as Rex Colt and there are a lot of references to the 80's in general (I loved the VHS collectibles). 10/10… Expand
May 3, 2013great graphics, well done 80s look, a story which is dumb as and very bad jokes. what do you want more? awesome and funny game for low pricing
May 1, 2013First off, official Xbox uk magazine!!! These redcoat ALWAYS lowball kickass games. The EGM review is spot-on...great visuals, hilarious dialogue, über ass-kicking, & just tons of fun to play. Rex Power Colt for President!!!!!! :D
Jul 21, 2013Really should have read the reviews here first. Far Cry 3 was an amazing game. Where this DLC is not a bad shooter and is fairly humorous, why in the world, other than to suck people in, does it have the Far Cry 3 name attached to it?? That normally indicates it's a follow-on from the original....this has NOTHING to do with the original. After reading some of the reviews I get the impression that some people consider it appropriate as it uses the same engine. If that's what makes something a DLC, why wasn't Far Cry 3 a DLC called Assassin's Creed 4!!! Ridiculous garbage....not the game, which isn't horribel, but the money grab here.… Expand
May 5, 2013Blood Dragon is a chilling tale based in the aftermath of Canada's demise in Cold War 2. The year is 2007 and you play a hero out to secure freedom for the world using futuristic weaponry and one man's unwavering determination.
Other games should just postpone launch until 2014, this is the GOTY.
Jun 19, 2013Blood Dragon is an entertaining stand alone game, but can be 100% completed pretty quickly. There's nothing to do after that except go blast Blood Dragons with the Killstar. It is an amazingly hilarious game made that perfectly mimics a post apocalyptic game from the 80's. The gameplay is fun, but after leaving the player completely finished, there does not seem to be enough. I found myself wishing for more. It took me only about 5 hours to completely finish everything (all files, all attachments, all garrisons, etc.) and it didn't feel like 15 dollars worth. Enjoy the experience, because it's over pretty quickly.… Expand
Jun 26, 2013Easy, boring, unfunny, and wretchedly ugly (accomplished by making it permanently pitch black out and throwing a hideous dark reddish purple haze over what was once the gorgeous FC3). Everything about this screams cheap cash-in the only new model is the blood dragon, which wouldn't look out of place on the N64, everything else is hastily retextured or not at all, the bargain bin voice acting attempts (sounds like Michael Biehn just read down a list of a few dozen phrases in a 10 minutes take with no direction). The writing features an ambiguously consensual 'no means yes?' sex scene that might be most catastrophic failure of taste I've ever seen in a game outside of Japan. All of the weird interface from FC3 is still here too, unpatched, and the game will acknowledge that it sucks while mocking you for getting frustrated.
Even for when this goes under $5, you'll still be giving your money to for a visciously unfun 6 hours.… Expand
May 28, 2013I can't give this game less than 10/10. I had SO MUCH FUN, literally laughing all the time. It's the perfect trip back to the 80's. Over the top action and pure fun. The gameplay is solid and I find no reason to compare it to Far Cry 3, this game stands on its on merits. No overly complex plot and the cutscenes are hilarious and beautiful in 16-bit glory. The music is SO AWESOME and I can't stop talking about this game. A little short, around 8 hours to complete everything including achievements but that's allright for $15. I had more fun with this than most $60 titles. Best game since Skyrim.… Expand
May 9, 2013Everyone should do themselves a favor and buy the game, especially if you have any memory of the 80's and 90's. It was funny, the soundtrack is AMAZING, and the gameplay handles exactly how you think controlling a cyborg would feel. On top of that, if you did play Far Cry 3, then this is a must buy as well, because in a way it expands upon some of the limitations you faced because you were human. You run faster, swim faster, take no fall damage....Pretty much feels like a vacation after playing Far Cry 3 (I loved that game as well BTW). It all just flows together really well.… Expand
Jun 29, 2014Given the critical success of the excellent Far Cry 3 it would have been easy for Ubisoft to have just released bog standard DLC that just added a few more missions or enemies. Instead they have taken the brave decision to set everything in a cheesy 80's action movie vision of the future (The future being 2007 by the way) and it mostly pays off. From the neon drenched landscape to the obligatory training montage, set to Kevin Chalfant's 'Hold On To The Vision', the commitment to the genre is superb creating one of the funniest gaming experiences I can recall.
The gameplay itself is, for the most part at least, still pretty similar to Far Cry 3 with players being able to use a mix of stealth (including the takedown moves) and firepower to take control of garrisons and complete sidequests (which I quickly found became repetitive) that include rescuing hostages and hunting certain animal species. The most significant edition to the combat is the Blood Dragon itself. These large creatures are encountered during a number of missions, as well as being found around the island, and react mostly to sound. Like other predators they can be dangerous but they can also be lured towards enemies and quickly turn the tide of a battle in your favour.
On the negative side the main story is quite short even for a £10 download (although this does thankfully mean there aren't any of the boring missions encountered in Far Cry 3 where you had to follow or protect someone) and the constant darkness of the surrounding landscape doesn't look as impressive as the sun soaked island of the main game. Things like turret missions are also clichéd whether you point it out yourself or not.
If you're not familiar with dumb 80's action movies you could probably knock a mark or two from the overall score but for anyone over the age of thirty this comes recommended as a good piece of over the top entertainment.… Expand
May 27, 2013One of the most just sheer FUN shooters I have played in a long time. Well done to the people behind this game. I would love too see this as a stand alone, EXACTLY the same thing but MORE!
Well done!
Aug 4, 2013pure dumb fun doesn't take itself seriously and is full of good laughs with the same high quality combat and exploration that far cry 3 offered also the soundtrack is incredible
May 11, 2013OMG! Best add on ever. I loved every second of this game. Well worth the money and I cant wait for more. If you from old school gaming, you will be in heaven.
Jun 23, 2013It seems as though Mass Effect: Citadel might have started something. For those who didn't take a look at that one, it was a lighthearted, essentially just-for-fun romp full of laughs and moments to remember just for the sheer hilarity. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was made apparently for the same reasons. So let's take a look at it. Summarizing the game is relatively easy: take every single 1980s action movie between grades A+ and D-, pull all of the one-liners, dialogue tropes, and situation comedy, and blend them together while mixing in the Far Cry 3 engine and design, then retro it back to 80's video game design norms and you get...Blood Dragon. If this sounds critical, it's not meant to: the game is meant to just be plain fun, and it lives up to it. If you were a fan of movies like Robocop, Outland, and a whole slew of movies too bad to remember (mainly because they were bad movies, not in spite of it), then Blood Dragon was made for you: it'll take you on a trip down that memory lane and keep you in stitches every step of the way. The game developers also deserve congratulations because they didn't go too far, and it would've been so easy. While the cinematics harken back to 1980s game animations, the game itself uses the graphics engine and mechanics of Far Cry 3, so all of that polished smoothness doesn't go to waste. It's not perfect, though. First, the game's color palette gets tiring fast; everything is in a red overcast, just like innumerable 80's postapocalyptic films, but for a game designed to last several hours, you're likely to end up with retina fatigue. The other hitch for Blood Dragon is uneven pacing and difficulty. The difficulty pendulum swings rapidly and often without warning, which can saddle players with a situation harder than expected. But given the superhero mechanics at work in the game, this is usually only a temporary setback. Overall, Blood Dragon is everything you remember and love about 80s sci-fi action films: over the top everything, a wisecracking hero, implausible technologies, way too much neon, and plots that don't get a lot of explanation...but don't really need it anyway. A well-enjoyed 8 to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a trip down memory lane...with lasers...and dinosaurs.… Expand
A $15 open world 80s cyber action game starring Michael Biehn! What's not to love here? Blood Dragon is not just good for a DLC but a fantastic, fully realized game in its own right and one of the most entertaining first person shooters of this generation. I've been rocking Blood Dragon every day since it came out and have to stop for a second and appreciate it when a DLC does something this mind boggling unique rather than the usual cash grab offerings of new maps or a few more hours of the same levels in an epilogue or prequel. The last time a DLC title this ambitious was attempted happened was Undead Nightmare and with the (hopeful) success of this rad new beast I hope these kinds of re-purposed games become more common. Making an entirely new game from ashes of an enjoyable older game is a great way to test out new ideas. It breeds innovation and, in this case, DRAGONS!… Collapse
May 7, 2013If you purchased Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon you are probably in 1 of 2 schools of thought: I love Far Cry 3 so this will be sweet (which it is) or I love 80's action movies/humor (which this has). This add-on (if you would even call it that) to the Far Cry 3 game is one of the best of this generation of games, in short this is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been.
May 7, 2013Finally someone at Ubisoft gets the Idea. This is more than a fan service cause this could be a legit franchise. I'm sick and tired of the same US vs European/Middle East/Asian military BS or Space Super Soldier who I thought was dead but was miraculously alive pfffff
May 31, 2013For $15 a cute, crazy, over-the-top game but leaves me wanting for more.
I absolutely *loved* Far Cry 3, one of the best semi-open-world games with a nice portion of shooter and RPG elements. Right after I finished FC3 I got me BD and initially was hyped and amused by the cheesy dialogues and music but have to say it quickly started to become somewhat repetitive. I myself prefer the bright/lush island world FC3 had, and the combo of crafting/hunting etc...in BD I run around in world which has a darkish pinkish/redish tint...and the "droids" or whatever the mobs are supposed to be are just getting boring and must be amongst the stupidest AI in any game. It feels more like a shooting-gallery rather than a challenge. I am not saying BD is a bad game, it's not...for the price you will get a lot of fun..I just wish for another game which was as visually stunning and great to play as FC3 since I don't think BD gets anywhere near FC3. I would've rather preferred a full-price game, a sequel to FC 3 with the same depth/freedom etc. as FC3...a "real" game so to speak as compared to BD where it shows that it is a $15 title, sometimes.… Expand
May 5, 2013please do yourself a favor and buy this game. i played part of farcry 2 and hated it. i played part of farcry 3 and loved the gameplay part but couldnt stand the story. this is perfect. the story in farcry 3 tried to be serious but just got cheesy with all the be one with the forest, path of the warrior blah blah. this game dosent take itself seriously and is better for it. cant reccomend enough!
Jun 23, 2013Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a very over the top game. It has absolutely nothing to do with Far Cry 3, but it doesn't matter... this game is still great. The weapons are amazing, the story and delivery of dialogue from Rex Power Colt is cheesy, with a 80's "futuristic" style. The game is very short though, it only took about 4 hours to beat... so I would suggest that people wait for it to go on sale before they get it if they're looking for something really long.… Expand
Dec 10, 2013Love the story 2 this game and the amazing 80s references with some of the greatest video game humor of all time, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon suffers from being WAYYYYY 2 short, I really, really, really started 2 get into the game and having blast, yet before i knew it the game was over and i had a frowny face.
7/10, also the closing song is absolutely chessey as also really funny, "FRIENDS 2 THE END YEAHHHH"… Expand
Sep 20, 2013This was unexpected for an expansion pack, if you could call it that. Not only is it an XBLA title, but other than the game engine and mechanics, this shares little in common with the base game. With it's satire of 80s pop culture, crazy enemies and animals, and synth soundtrack (provided by Power Glove), you'd think this is a completely different game. Everything that made the original Far Cry 3 a great game (unlockable weapons and upgrades, exotic wildlife, wide open world, etc.) are present here, mixed with pop culture references, 80s sci-fi flair and cheesy one-liners by Kyle Reese himself, Michael Beihn. Of course, being an XBLA game, it's fairly short and really easy compared to the original game. NO multiplayer either, but given how unspectacular the original's was, that's probably for the best. A pretty fun and funny take on Far Cry 3, and a recommended download.… Expand
May 6, 2013Great XBLA title. One of the finest. Although, not on par with Far Cry 3.
Great atmosphere and lots of goodies for the guys grown up with Terminator, Robocop, Rocky and other 80's films. The dialogues and the whole concept is pretty fun, as are the missions. This is one of the most creative gaming efforts as far as story concept is concerned.
On the downside, the technical aspect of this title isn't on par with Far Cry 3, as the neon pink/green lights are quite monotonous throughout the game. The 8-bit cut-scenes feel like "the size of the game is limited so... there you go" and while some of them (training montage, sex scene) are quite fun, most of them are boring.
The whole game feels like Far Cry 3 with a new skin. Totally new skin. But it plays exactly like Far Cry 3. You free the garrisons, you go hunting with a specific weapon and you stealth kill groups of enemies. So if you are into Far Cry 3, you'll probably enjoy having some of that. The garrisons are more heavily populated (about ten enemies as opposed to five in FC3) and the new weapons feel fresh.
The best part of this game are the 80's details... Many of them and the action packed main missions. It's more of FC3... with a twist. An unexpected one.… Expand
Feb 15, 2014Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has almost nothing to do with Far Cry 3 story wise. It is set in a neon future were a rogue General has taken over an island and you must stop him. You play as Rex Power Colt, a cyborg tasks to take down this threat. The story is basic but the writing and characters are hilarious and make fun of action game troughs. The game play is very similar to Far Cry 3, you liberate garrisons and complete missions. The open world is actually quite large and filled with stuff to do. The weapons are unique and varied enough to keep combat interesting. The game's length feels just right for its DLC, downloadable price. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a cool, hilarious, and fun add on to Far Cry 3 and is a prime example of how to do a franchise spin off well.… Expand
May 12, 2013Shallow, vapid experience. Far Cry 3 was great but this game becomes boring after the first twenty minutes or so of repetitive gameplay. Great in short bursts only.
May 13, 2013Great game, seriously, this generation needs more games like this.
Yeah its a shooter, but the sense of humor gets you every time, and the music THAT.AWESOME.MUSIC
May 2, 2013this game is a straight up love letter to the 80s. Even though I was born in the early 90s i really really enjoyed everything this game had to offer from its 80s style low res cutscenes to the scanlines and neon lights of the openworld. Even the menus in game are oldschool stylized. Ubisoft did an incredible job on this game. You play as Rex power colt a badass mark IV commando who is tasked with saving the world, getting the girl, and firing off one liners like a chaingun. it is a total overhaul of the far cry 3 engine which feels the same as far cry 3 but different at the same time. the awesome healing animations, looting, openworld, animals to hunt, etc are all still here but they are totally different and very much well fit the feel of the game. oh its also funny too. i dont say this much about games but i was laughing pretty much all the while i was playing it. the cheesy oneliners colt says are hilarious even today. my favorite is the tutorial, which i wont spoil, but rex gets pretty pissed like most do during the tutorials. its pretty funny. most people didnt want this dlc/standalone. most people wanted a dlc of vaas, but im glad ubisoft made this. they put alot of heart into this and it shows, This game is a rare gem that we dont see much of these days and at its low price of $15 dollars with all this content is an absolute steal. And that dudes and dudettes is pretty cool.… Expand
May 4, 2013GAME OF THE YEAR even better then the original FAR CRY 3 :D
and if u saw the ending then i RLY hope its gona be Blood Dragon 2
Jul 14, 2013It might not have loads of serious story arcs and character development the great visual style the really good humour the 80s homages the gameplay the graphics has a great style the animals it is just SO MUCH FUN
May 2, 2013I'll start out by saying BD is absolutely fantastic. This game, which was initially thought to be an April Fool's joke, caught everyone off-guard when it was officially announced. In the midst of an era of straight-faced shooters, BD is one of the few to break the mold and offer a truly hilarious, off-the-wall, yet very atmospheric experience. Set in the near future, a dystopian 2007, the world is in ruins from a nuclear war and the fallout has turned everything into a bright neon color medley. Good thing too, I was tired of looking at gray cinder blocks and beige sand. BD's island sets the tone of the game perfectly with its plethora of cyber-soldiers, cyber-animals, and frikin' dragons that shoot frikin' laser beams from their frikin' heads. Now in terms of story, the game isn't breaking new ground and hits every trope along the way making it painfully predictable to those familiar with the genre and the era (which I know it was going for). That's ok though as the game plays off this with numerous references and cheesy-but-funny one-liners that make you interested in what the characters will say next. The gameplay isn't radically different from FC3's except now it's tuned to make Rex the badass feel like Rex the badasserer as he levels, instead of going from weak sauce to hot sauce a la Jason. The leveling system is now linear. The game chooses what you will get when you level up this time around instead of choosing from three different branches. It ain't what I would've done, but I can see why they did it for an XBLA (and generally much shorter game than FC3) release. I don't know how to critique music to be honest, but all I can say is that it's very 80s synth akin to the music in Mass Effect or a John Carpenter movie and every second of every track is an absolute delight to listen to. I've at times just sat on the main menu listening to that track over and over cause it's just that good.
If you're looking for yet another shooter that takes itself way too seriously, just stay far away FC3BD. If you need some variety in your shooters, or could just do with a good laugh, give it a go. It's some of the best $15 you could spend for a game.
On a side note, the 8-bit cutscenes do lose their charm later in the game but generally make no sense in the context of the game. The theme is like you're watching an 80s cartoon on VHS yet the game cutscene are video game style? Very inconsistent but it doesn't detract from the experience as a whole.… Expand
May 2, 2013What can I say about this game. Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty we'll stay together through think or thin. Were on top because we play to win, make you dreams come true..
May 8, 2013This game is a love letter to the action movies of the 80s and while there will be plenty of young people who won't understand or see the humour and references in it, I and my generation will and therefore I will forever be thankful for everyone at Ubisoft Montreal for developing this title and also for Ubisoft to decide to publish it. In this age of game-development issues, studios closing left and right and disney owning lucas it is very refreshing to see someone having the balls (or ovaries) to just go for it.
We should all praise them for it even if some of us are too young to appreciate such a title.… Expand
Jun 11, 2013Name two of the greatest things a man can do... 1: Laugh. 2: shooting neon colored dragons in the face with a assortment of weapons. Thankfully, Blood Dragon allows you to do both. A LOT.
I was in stitches for pretty much all of this game, the references are hilarious. Not to forget that this is essentially just an add on for Farcry 3, so the satisfying combat and free roaming as we grew to love is still there, but with a massive twist of course. Well worth the money.… Expand
May 4, 2013This game is pretty damn AMAZING. I can't believe how a simple rehash of an open world game can still be stunning. Though I'm not from the 80s, I've watched a ton of 80s Action Movies from Arnold Schwarzenegger's Predator to Sylvester Stallone's Rambo series... Hell, I've even watched Terminator and Aliens. This game will make you feel like you're an 80s kind of action hero because of its:
• It's Presentation, this game is probably has one of the best presentation of a 80s Action Movie like game.
Packed funny One Liners in cinematics and while kicking cyborg ass ingame. Another thing is the
cinematics, every single bit is shown in that 80s Arcade Game Style cinematic that anyone from the 80s
who plays video games is gonna love.
• The Weapons that are though few, they're still a lot of fun to use in many ways to kill Enemies in the game.
• The Soundtrack, this one of the best parts about Blood Dragon. Really represents that 80s Action Flick with
references of it sounding almost like the terminator's theme. Blood Dragon's soundtrack never lets up with
it's 80s theme and it's a part of what makes this game amazing.
All in all... You'll be feeling like 80s Cyborg Action Hero when playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.
The ONLY bad thing that I can say about this game is it's ending. I got this feeling the last part with the villain was rushed because nothing really happened but an epic cinematic. I feel the need of an epic fist fight with the villain especially with funny twist while in the cinematic.
Though it kinda makes up a bit near the credits where in there's a possible sequel for this game.
(AND GOD YES I WOULD KILL FOR A BLOOD DRAGON 2!) It kinda reminds me of that ending in Michael Jackson's Thriller Music Video... The only thing missing was that evil laugh.
My Verdict for Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is VERY SOLID 9/10. Get this game now...
Even if you're not an 80s fan. You'll enjoy every bit of this game. for $15? Nothing can go wrong.

May 6, 2013Blood Dragon is fantastic. In some ways, it's even more immersive than FC3 just in the way the world is presented, even though it's stretching what reality would allow. The music, combat, atmosphere and voice acting from Michael Biehn all create a deeply immersive experience that kept me playing from dawn to dusk, and it absolutely deserves to be played for its bizarre combination of current-gen innovation and 80's nostalgia.… Expand
May 23, 2013this game is epic. blood dragons weapons humor 8 bit cut scenes list could go forever this game is da bomb its little short but hay its stll better than re6
Jul 5, 2013I recommend you play this before you play the original Far Cry 3 to see if you would like it.But,the game is really funny,good story and is a lot of fun to play!
May 2, 2013The makers of Far Cry 3 have made an amazing spinoff/parody in this epic 80's scifi action packed thrill ride. Blood Dragon puts you in the shoes of Rex Power Cult voiced by Michael Biehn who played in hit 80's movies such as Aliens, Terminator and Navy Seals. The game is full of color and 80's humor and one liners. This game has to be the best arcade game so far in my opinion. The thing that really cought my attention was the 80's like soundtrack, which btw I loved so much that I picked it up off iTunes. The game is a MUST by for $15 bucks you Cannot I repeat Cannot go wrong.… Expand
May 2, 2013If you like pop culture,fun, and have $15 then Buy this game.

May 3, 2013I simply love this game. It's retro style sequences pretty much remind me off the good old game boy times, the 80's techno soundtrack kicks ass, the sayings of both, enemys and the main character, are pretty funny, and the overall athmosphere is just nice.
Didn't played the main story so far, atm I'm on the misson to the clear all the outposts, so I can not tell much about the story, but the begining is fun!
I didn't bother about Far Cry 3, but this Standalone Spin-Off is a Must Have for Retro Gaming and Trash Fans!
At last, some informations to the german player out there, like me:
despite all doubts, the german dubbing is a good one. The sayings an robo voices are well translated into german. On top of that and that's a rare thing novadays Blood Dragon allows us to switch to original, english dubbing wich is, indeed, even better than the german ).
1200 MS Points means 15 euro, so go and get this game!… Expand
May 3, 2013Its Far Cry 3 with dragons that shoot lazers from their eyes and a cyborg commando called Rex Power Colt on a mission to save the world.
Everything is set up to make you feel like an action hero. Rex can take more damage than Jason Brody so a guns blazing approach works like a charm, your guns can be upgraded to seriously overpowered levels (flaming shotgun shells, exploding sniper bullets, lazer assault rifle...) and Rex just loves the cheesy one liners.
Unless you put the difficulty up you won't have any problems at all, it can be completed in about 5-6 hours (including outpost liberation) and the final boss was non existent (although the final mission, though easy, is as good as it gets for making you feel like a walking god of destruction).
If you like 80's action movies then this game is gold, its crazy, it has a sense of humor and lets the player be awesome.
Don't forget that this game is currently £12, for its price there is no better shooter out there.… Expand
May 4, 2013I have never played a game that has so many puns and jokes in it but still matches that with riveting gameplay and a classic 80's Sci-Fi storyline. This game has billions of references to 80's action and Sci-Fi movies. I personally think that FC3 Blood dragon is an infusion of the Far cry 3 engine with Halo graphics and artstyle turned up to 100. In my opinion this game is better than the original Far Cry 3 simply because it is more unique and exciting. The only problem i have with this game is that it doesn't have any multiplayer or a seperate co-op campaign like Far Cry 3 which is understandable since it is a downloadable game but i think they should make this into a full game with multiplayer and a seperate co-op campaign. Overall a very unique, exciting and well made game. Solid 9/10!… Expand
May 4, 2013This game deserves a 10/10. Not because it is perfect, but because takes the far cry 3 experience and fundamentally changes it to be entertaining. DLC is mostly crap nowadays. Get this straight, this is DLC for Far Cry 3. It is great as DLC and it would make a good standalone 60 dollar title as well.
May 4, 2013I'm not sure why this game wasn't a DLC attached to Far Cry 3, but as a person that enjoyed Farcry 3 immensely, this game was a perfect 10 for me. The achievements are all off-line (which is important to me) and it's fun from start to finish. I'm not a cut scene lover, and the option to skip every cut scene is available. The leveling and unlocking system is fun and fast, and the only complaint I have is 'not long enough!' but for the money, it's a perfect game.… Expand
May 5, 2013I have just finished this game. Took me about 6 hours to do most of the games stuff- including side missions. This was so fun. Some of the funniest and most entertaining moments I've had in a video video game for quite some time. So glad you don't need FarCry 3 proper, this has nothing to do with FC3 and that's a good thing. This game is to use proper 80's slang. The Voice acting in this game is outstanding- Biehn being awesome. The graphics are outstanding (360 version) and the gunplay is fun and immersive. For 15 bones this is quite the deal. Buy it. Play it. Love it. 10/10… Expand
May 10, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A good game, but doesn't give you the same sweet experience as Far Cry 3. The time of game-play isn't very long and the cut-scenes kinda run quite slowly with me. But the price is cheap (€15,00) and the amount of irony is hilarious. The game-play works fantastic once again and the open world is very well designed. It's not as amazing as the original Far Cry 3 but the price compensates that and it gives Far Cry 3-players the chance to relive their experience playing the original game: a well deserved 9/10!… Expand
May 10, 2013If you are looking to buy this game based on reviews let me make it simple: If you were born in the mid to late 80's...you won't be sorry you bought this game. Everything about this game is a call-back to the action flicks of yore, where big muscles, big action, and cheesy dialogue abounded.
My only complaint of this game is that I want even more space to run around in and cause neon destruction. If they make more of Blood Dragon in the future...Day 1 purchase for sure.… Expand
May 18, 2013Absolute must play for any fan of the genre! Best $15 iv'e spent on a downloadable title EVER! The gameplay and exploration we know and love from FC3, over the top arsenal, and incredible sound design make this one nostalgic romp too good to miss! BUY THIS GAME!!! (If you havent played FC3 this is a great oppurtunity to see if this is your kind of game)
Jun 11, 2013Far cry 3 blood dragon is a game that dosent take itself to seriously which is what gives it its charm. The game focuses on making laugh and see the many references in the game like the reloading animation for the shotgun it takes it from terminator and the pistol is from robo cop. The games flashy style and gameplay makes it fun to look at it unless you have a tendency to have epileptic sezuires than this game is great especially for its price. Its way of not giving a amazes me it takes it self as a joke we need for games like this one this game is buy i hope to see more of it in the future. The game gives you a story line and 15 bases to take over and the animals are still in place but with different textures and skin. The game goes down to one thing BUY IT… Expand
Jun 11, 2013I like over the top madness but for me farcry blood dragon was just to much. Farcry 3 was A great single player game and i had a lot of fun but by the end my interest started to wain. perhaps this was a factor in why I just didn't enjoy blood dragon. It works there's no technical issues i can across but this is just farcry 3 re-skinned with neon lights and cheesy one liners. I'm not even sure why I didn't enjoy it when i saw the trailers i was like "that looks awesome" but when i finally got round to playing it i just couldn't stand the over the top 80 cliches. And the main character play OMG he did nothing but p**s me off. you will be doing everything that you did in farcry 3 and you will do these things over and over again. Like i said i just don't know what it was about this game that annoyed me so much but i just couldn't get into it so my score is based on my experience of the game from my point of view but from a development point of view it deserves at least a 8. my advice is if you have played farcry 3 and couldn't get enough get this game same if you never played farcry 3. But if you felt a little bored toward the end of farcry don't bother with this one it will leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.… Expand
Jun 21, 2013This expansion is first and foremost FUN AS HELL. They clearly weren't going for the hard hitting and deep story line that they went for with the original but who cares. The fact is even though I was to young to play games when they had those types of "just make it fun" attitudes so I loved the fact that they just seemed to think about how a hyper active 10 year old would make a game. "LAZORS, CYBORGS, DRAGONS, PEW PEW PEW." Sure the story isn't very long and the island isn't huge but the truth is your not buying a full priced game here so what do you expect.
Personally my view is this:
To all who have Far Cry 3 and like it enough buy blood dragon
To all those who were thinking about buying the full game but didn't want to fork out the full cash, buy blood dragon… Expand
Jun 27, 2013One word description FUN. Goofy plot full of fun 80's nostalgia balances the humor without trying too hard. This title is full of over the top action reminiscent of 80's favs such as Predator, Commando, and Terminator. The graphics are just as great as Far Cry was and they've added gore! Soundtrack consists of awesome synths and even a cut from cult classic flick Miami Connection. If your a fan of cheesy 80's action check this out, if not, you won't get it.… Expand
Jul 4, 2013This is probably the best DLC ever produced for a videogame. It could be a game by itself! Amazing how they not only added loads of hours worth of good gameplay, but also created a unique setting with a unique story that makes it so much different than the original FC3. Unbelievable production value.
Jul 9, 2013If you are only playing this for 5 minutes you will love that game. Its funny, full of creative ideas and with a great old retro charm. A unique game for everybody who really enjoys computer games.
Jul 20, 2013This game is a $15 investment to relive the nostalgia we so desperately didn't want to relive. Blood Dragon captures the 80's perfectly and plays just as greatly as Far Cry 3 did. Though it was a bit short and there's not as much replay value after it's done as there was in FC3, it is still a hilarious little standalone expansion everyone should be getting.
Oct 3, 2013I feel safe saying this game is worth more than its 15$ price. The storyline is surprisingly deep, and the characters are memorable. The 80s cyborg style goes all out, but doesn't go over the top to affect the gameplay. My only complaint is how quickly I was able to beat it, but those hours were enjoyable. I hope Ubisoft works off of this idea, and makes a full-fledged retail game, with co-op.
Oct 29, 2013This game is great top to bottom. All of the artwork adds a great immersive feeling as it makes you feel part of the cyber universe. With all of the references from various internet trends, which I counted 14, this game is funny, sad and even a little romantic all at the same time.The only thing missing from this game is a longer campaign. Because once you beat the game and capture all of the outposts, there is really nothing to do except kill blood dragons. But this game is definitely worth buying if you are a fan of the Far Cry series.… Expand
Dec 12, 2013This game is pure, refined 80s awesomeness. I never even played the original Far Cry 3, but picked this game up on Xbox Live for $4. What a value! Hilarious dialogue, awesome game play, dragons with lasers coming out of their eyes. Plus the cheese-tastic cut scenes are just awesome. The main missions don't take very long to complete (and what an awesome finish to the main campaign), but now I want to go back to the world powered -up and blow up. I would give it a 10, but hell this ain't Red Dead Redemption (lacks depth). Highly recommended.… Expand
Aug 31, 2014Blood Dragon is one of the better pieces of downloadable content on the marketplace. It does not require Far Cry 3 to play, its fun on its own merit, and its an all around good buy. However its not perfect. The story while fun and giving the bombastic energy of cyborgs ripping out artificial hearts out of other cyborgs (literally this happens in the game and its awesome) and the thrills that have only been seen in the classic 80's action movies that its mimicking but it is also a copy of those same cliches that we've seen in those movies time and time again. Thankfully the story isn't very long and like Far Cry 3 you are free to roam the map after the campaign is complete to do the side missions and take over enemy outposts. But it also has the same problems that Far Cry 3 had like incomplete multiplayer and a few lags and freezes every now and then. It's worth the ten or fifteen bucks for the purchase.… Expand
A $15 open world 80s cyber action game starring Michael Biehn! What's not to love here? Blood Dragon is not just good for a DLC but a fantastic, fully realized game in its own right and one of the most entertaining first person shooters of this generation. I've been rocking Blood Dragon every day since it came out and have to stop for a second and appreciate it when a DLC does something this mind boggling unique rather than the usual cash grab offerings of new maps or a few more hours of the same levels in an epilogue or prequel. The last time a DLC title this ambitious was attempted happened was Undead Nightmare and with the (hopeful) success of this rad new beast I hope these kinds of re-purposed games become more common. Making an entirely new game from ashes of an enjoyable older game is a great way to test out new ideas. It breeds innovation and, in this case, DRAGONS!… Collapse
Jun 28, 2013It's a meaty, gratifying dose of excess that refuses to pander to subtlety. [Issue#136, p.108]
May 30, 2013As if Far Cry 3 was developed by Ocean Software and starred The Terminator. [July 2013, p.76]
May 22, 2013Wholly entertaining, Blood Dragon chucks everything we didn't like about Far Cry 3 in the bin and cranks everything else we did like up to 11. Then adds lasers. Solid. [Issue #98, p.72]

Once upon a time it was all about Jennifer Lopez's booty. Then came Kylie Minogue in the gold hot-pants. And who can forget the mass hysteria surrounding Pippa Middleton's rear at the Royal Wedding last April. But forget about them. Because undeniably the most famous bottom on planet earth right now is that of Kim Kardashian. Why, there's even a Facebook page dedicated to it, called 'Kim Kardashian's gorgeous bottom.'
And in an exclusive interview with Grazia, the 31-year-old reality TV star revealed that she loves her curves and even does special 'booty' exercises five days a week to enhance her most famous asset. How refreshing. 'It's kind of weird that people are so obsessed with it, but I embrace it,' she told Grazia. 'It's flattering.'
So how does Kim keep that famous rear of hers in such good shape? By working out five days a week for a couple hours a day, that's how. 'I do special exercises to keep it in shape. I use weight machines and do a lot of squats and lunges as well as Pilates. You have to know your body type and what bits you want to work on. I always want to do my core and butt.'
Kim even chooses her designer wardrobe around her bottom which was voted the World's Best Bum by a men's magazine in February and is estimated to measure 22inches high by 39inches wide. 'I know how to dress in a way that accentuates the better parts and the bits I need to work on. It's about knowing how to dress for your body type.'
Such a talking point has Kim's bottom become, that last year she had a 'butt x-ray' in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians to prove that it was all natural following speculation that she'd had implants. At the time she said: 'Who the hell of a normal person gets butt implants?'
Not that Kim is confident about every part of her body. 'My least favourite part is my thighs,' she says. 'I've got a bit of cellulite and everyone needs improvement and I need a whole load of work on them. I get really upset and frustrated when I can't work out.'
Kim was visiting the UK recently with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West, who she has been dating since April. And she says that she and Kanye are huge fans of London – and the royals. 'I love it here. I love the fashion, the clothes, the food and Kate Middleton. She has great style.'
Considering the Duchess of Cambridge copy-catted Kimmy K's style for the Jubilee celebrations, we reckon the feeling might be mutal...

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Transmission Incentive Overhaul
FERC's ROE incentive adder policy sends the wrong signals.
appropriate where they are part of a package of incentive rate treatments or where other risk-mitigating factors (such as formula rates) are present. While FERC's rulemaking orders opined that transmission owners might not be eligible for any ROE adder when CWIP and abandoned-plant protections are granted, in practice FERC has reduced ROE adders only slightly (and inconsistently) in light of the grant of such incentives. Indeed, FERC since has rejected the notion of generic ROE-adder reductions in such cases, 18 and the question whether any ROE adder is justified (and not one that is simply reduced from 150 to 125 basis points) has been raised only in dissenting opinions. Similarly, FERC has deemed irrelevant whether costs are recovered pursuant to a formula rate.
While Congress directed FERC to "establish … incentive-based (including performance-based) rate treatments" and to "provide a return on equity that attracts new investment in transmission facilities," [see FPA §§ 219(a), (b)(2)] that doesn't mean an ROE near the top of the zone of reasonableness is appropriate in every case—or even most cases. Indeed, FERC's emerging policy toward incentive ROE adders for new transmission facilities may have serious unintended, adverse consequences. First, transmission owner investment is not an end in itself. The Congressional and regulatory goal is construction of "economically efficient transmission" for the purpose of "ensuring reliability and reducing the cost of delivered power," (id., §§ 219(a), (b)(1)) , but overly generous ROEs may impede those goals—particularly where state regulatory authorities (including siting authorities) oppose new transmission that would allow low-cost resources to be exported out-of-state. Increasing the cost of such transmission facilities by awarding incentive ROEs will make it even harder to obtain the necessary state approvals. In other words, increasing the cost of new transmission (by what can amount to hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of a facility) can be expected to incentivize both transmission owner investment and opposition to the project. 19
There also is a concern that FERC's current approach to determining when an ROE adder will be granted creates perverse incentives. A major factor in the commission's decisions about whether to approve an incentive ROE has been the scope of the project(s) at issue. FERC has explained that assessment of project scope involves "factors such as size, dollar investment, increase in transfer capability, involvement of multiple entities or jurisdictions, and effect on the region" and that applicants must present "data distinguishing the project from other transmission projects or upgrades that are constructed in the ordinary course of maintaining a utility's transmission system." 20 FERC has encouraged submission of data comparing "total investment in a range of projects to some other aggregate measure of investment, such as total rate base or recent annual investment levels," and it has held that groups of projects that are routine when considered individually may be treated as non-routine in the aggregate. (Id.) Thus, applicants frequently tout the magnitude of investment(s) at issue, particularly in contrast to historical levels. 21
The magnitude of investment should not be a basis for determining whether an incentive ROE is justified,

Book your next stay in Turkey and enjoy the advantage of our partnerships with the country's foremost hotels - personalized VIP service, complimentary upgrades, and the very best rates.
In essence, Turkey is the world's biggest bridge. The nation of 72 million connects Europe and the Middle East, touching both Greece and Iraq, and has absorbed the culture, practices, and architecture of both continents - all while remaining unique.
Having served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires, Istanbul is no stranger to visitors, and continues to attract millions every year. Popular sites include the incomparable Blue Mosque, but throw a textbook in any direction and you're bound to hit a historical structure.
Cappadocia, a complex network of underground cities, was carved into the mountains thousands of years ago, and later used as a hiding place by early Christians. Today, travelers can book a stay in these same rooms - with the benefit of modern amenities.

How to Ditch Leftovers – And Sales Tax
Almost twenty years of marriage to a diehard fisherman and over a decade and counting of raising two boys, and yet I had never had a new washing machine. It was always a hand-me-down – you know, someone was upgrading to the front loader, someone was moving, someone didn't want to haul it to the curb – so I ended up with the leftovers.
