Not quite as thick as I expected
By Rosie
from Los Angeles, CA
Best Uses
This very pretty cashmere lounging set is a whole lot prettier than sweat pants and a sweat shirt. I haven't washed it yet so cannot attest to its washability.Nonetheless, the two ply cashmere is a bit thin...I expected it to be thicker. I wear it with a t-shirt underneath and that adds a layer of warmth.I am in California where we do not keep our houses as warm as easteners do.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

2008 Implementers' meeting photo gallery
07 May 2008
What is an HIV implementer? Depending on whom you ask at the 2008 Implementers' Meeting in Kampala, Uganda, which starts today, June 3, you may get varying responses. But one common thread is likely to run throughout – the drive to share lessons learned and best practices on how HIV services are delivered to people affected by the AIDS epidemic. Over the next five-days, some 1,700 participants – from governments, NGOs, international organizations, including UNAIDS and other UN partners, the private sector and groups of people living with HIV – will exchange ideas and give examples of efforts to overcome obstacles in implementation of HIV treatment, prevention, care and support. A co-sponsor of the meeting, UNAIDS, together with the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund, UNICEF, the World Bank, WHO, and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), will share examples of its work, and that of its cosponsors and other partners, in supporting countries in HIV programme implementation.

Things I liked:It is much better than I expected. Great looking wood parts, hefty feel. With a real WW2 sling on it looks great. Shoots straight with nice punch. Even full automatic is accurate.
Things I would have changed:Alignment of Rear sight is good but can't seem to be able to use the notch for sighting, only the peep aperture. Elevation and windage adjustable. But just keep the front blade centered, and you can shoot tight groups on single fire, and on full automatic you are on target with no problems.
What others should know:Excellent from 5m. Shoots good from 10M, not bad for the FPS. Battery lasted for 3 full magazines at least.
Things I liked:The fps on the gun is amazing, accuracy from about 120 feet is outstanding. Also, It's easy to carry and a realistic weight. It's very similar to the real gun. Battery life is good.
Things I would have changed:The Mid cap magazine that comes with the gun is terrible, 60 rounds just does not cut it. I would add a high cap magazine.
What others should know:Buy a high cap magazine for this gun, It's well worth it. Overall this gun is a good buy.
Things I liked:gun felt good to hold. had good weight and was very accurate. fun to shoot.
Things I would have changed:pistol grip is held in place by 1 screw only. I found that it would wobble a bit while I was shooting. I would add a 2nd screw somewhere to stabilize it better. also the safety lever was a bit loose. it did not have a good secure click to it when putting it on or taking it off.
What others should know:62 days and 600 rounds after I received this gun it just stopped working. Pyramid air informed me that I was beyond the 60 day warranty and therefore there was nothing they could do for me. not good. I'm taking my business elsewhere.
Sorry, but this is bad customer service. YOU are selling the gun. YOU chose to sell this gun. Regardless of who is responsible for the warranty, YOU should stand behind the product. If YOU don't stand behind it, why are you selling it? I'm really tired of "middlemen" retailers who shrug off the responsibility of selling a defective product and push it off to the actual manufacturer. I'm not saying the manufacturer does not have a responsibility. I'm saying that the retailer has the responsibility to go to bat for the consumer against the manufacturer in cases like this. If not, why do I deal with you at all?
Dave--Pyramyd Air's hands are tied by the term of the warranty offered by the manufacturer. This is not a warranty offered by Pyramyd Air. You should be calling the manufacturer or importer. They just might honor the warranty 2 days after it expired.

May 2, 2013FEZ brings pixels to life. The vivid colors and music that gives every scene its own style and atmosphere makes every discovery and exploration worthwhile. I could not stop smiling at it and at times I would just pause to appreciate the artistry and the environment. It gives a refreshing taste of platformer and puzzle games.
May 1, 2013Doesn't work as intended. Crashed on first loadup, noticed my fan was going crazy so I checked my temperatures. CPU was at over 90 C. This game is so ill-optimized it will try to kill your computer.
If you have any intention of playing this and don't live in antartica, play the waiting game a bit more first
May 2, 2013FEZ in a nutshell: A continuous, slow paced hunt for events that make your world spin around. The 4 is given for good visuals, okay audio, and amount of content. Should there be something that just makes you push for that one next cube, I'd give it a lot more, but there simply isn't.
May 7, 2013Decent game in spite of some minor glitches and crashing until updated, since update 1.03 i have not had any more problems with it crashing. The levels do tend to get repetitive and as far as where to go, it seems to be just guessing,and having to do alot of backtracking and redoing levels,the 3-d map is more confusing than anything. But in spite of the minor annoyances it is an enjoyable game with some interesting puzzles and levels.
As far as the review i read complaining about needing a 'discreet graphics card".and it not being made apparent. I have to ask. What game doesn't need a half decent video card nowadays? I would venture to guess the vast majority do, and if you bothered to look at the system requirements for the game it clearly states the minimum graphics card,as being nvidia 8600gt or radeon 6450 .so this was made more than apparent to anyone that bothered to look it up.… Expand
Jul 12, 2013Fez is just another one of the many "retro-style" indie games that uses it's graphics as an excuse to make the game seem more back-to-basics and stylized. It's already late to the hype, not to mention the style itself doesn't match with true retro platformers. The puzzles are boring and not challenging, the music is flat (actually it's "ambient" *wink* *wink*), and the developer himself is not worthy of praise. I'll give it a 3 because of the colors and the fact that this took five years to develop.… Expand
May 1, 2013This brought a new 3D world While staying in a 2D world A Very fun puzzle games for a low price and hours of Puzzles. If your looking for some puzzle fun this game is for you the worlds are very nicely designed.
May 6, 2013Average game over-hyped by the media/journalism sphere.
2D/3D manipulation and twist are interesting but that's it more or less.
Incentive to go forward in this slow-paced game is lacking.
Possibility of loosing interest very likely.
May 1, 2013This game is excellent. You've probably read all about it and are here to cry about a comment that he made about your videogames. The creative man behind it can talk a bit more than he should but honestly most of the comments I read on the internet are 1000x more reprehensible than saying Japanese video games suck. I don't understand how someone can make a sidescrolling puzzle masterpiece and be criticized by putting his foot in his mouth. I mean gamers are some of the worst people in the world and they're worried about some guy saying one or two silly things.
The game is not a typical side scroller. I guess the best way to describe it would be a open world puzzle game. It's amazing how complete it all feels though. I've played it on the Xbox and on Steam with no problems so far (like that save glitch). The world feels so alive and vibrant. Every single component of this game has a purpose or adds to the experience. It has its own language and its own vibe. I'm sure everyone is used to ignoring the user score on Metacritic but here it is especially important. This game is amazing.… Expand
Jul 11, 2013An interesting concept of mixing 2D and 3D graphics and that's where it all ends... It has huge technical issues on some rigs, but this is by far not its biggest problem: it is mind-numbingly boring! Only for the most persevering aficionados of Rubik's cubes.
May 1, 2013Phil Fish, this review is a personal congratulation on your masterpiece. I know it is already 2 years since its release but only know I could fully comprehend the best inner part of the game. The system of turning the world from 2D to 3D is outstanding, graphics are brilliant, gameplay is marvelous and with that audio surroundings are perfectly relaxing. For such a price (which I consider nothing to give 2 guys who have been working their ass off to get this tremendous game) it is not only one of the best Indie games, but as well one of the best games created. Puzzles are interesting, storyline is fascinating and dialogues are funny! Hope you will read this and smile! Thank you again for the experience I have lived through because of you! 10/10, no questions… Expand
Jun 11, 2013Indie Game The Movie there I've found out about this game. The genre isn't my piece of cake, but I was curious about the game mechanics. I must say this game is pretty original combining 2D and 3D. The graphics are pretty, the music is relaxing. The world has a lot of details and seems to be crafted with love.
I won't be dissing Phil Fish because he really made a game which can be advised to try to almost every gamer because it gives unique and refreshing experience.… Expand
May 1, 2013This is an EXCELLENT game. It is intelligent. It has secrets and puzzles that take the game play way beyond the 'retro platformer" that I expected. It plays smooth and rewards exploration. I get the same rewarding enjoyment out of this game as I did when I played Portal, Portal 2 or Antichamber or the old-school Zork games. You feel accomplishment when a puzzle is solved or a secret is found. This is a game that makes you say, "Jeez, that's brilliant." To the people saying that it does not run well on their system, IT IS YOUR SYSTEM, NOT THE GAME. I am playing this on a 3 year old ASUS G74 laptop with a 24 inch external 1980 x 1200 monitor, much more then what the computer is designed for and it runs without any issues what-so-ever.
It game was $10 very well spent! I do suggest using a game pad when playing it as the game is designed to be played that way.
If you love ANY of the games I mentioned above, give this awesome game a try.… Expand
May 2, 2013The game is simply amazing. I don't really care what Phil Fish says the thing is he made a masterpiece here. I really don't know how he figured out all the level designs by himself, but it works so well and so cleverly. Anyway, stop whining about his statements, and buy this game. The art design, the puzzles, and oh, the amazing soundtrack all make for one of the best indie games ever made. There are some bugs and crashes, but hey one guy did the art and the puzzles, and the other guy did the programming. I think we can forgive them, especially when this is their first PC project.… Expand
May 1, 2013Amazing game. PC gamers who love platform games will love this game. When I first started playing I feel in love with the world. It's an amazing puzzle game and it does not cost that much at all. GET IT.
May 4, 2013I had high hopes for this game after hearing about how quirky and interesting it was.
Well I have to say I am actually pretty disappointed. The puzzles basically consist of translating symbols for the entire game.. over and over. The rotation doesn't really add any depth to the game once you understand how it works, because basically all the levels are the same. Jump to platform, rotate world so next platform is within jumping range, repeat.
It Is cheap but quite short and uninteresting so I give it a slightly above average score.… Expand
May 3, 2013This game is one of the best indie released to this date. Don't listen to bad reviews because as you'll see they're only based on judgement about it's genius maker Phil Fish. And like all geniuses, it doesn't fit in a box that stupid people feel confortable with. But the game is un-criticable it's an innovative, beautifully designed and directed exploration game with a unique feel crafted from spot-on soundtrack and charming universe. Fùùù the haters… Expand
May 18, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FEZ is not what I expected it to be. FEZ is more of an adventure game than it is a puzzle game. Don't get me wrong, the game has a lot of very interesting puzzles, but completing those puzzles is not enough to finish the game (The game doesn't end after 32 cubes, as you might think!). The game expects you to see a drawing of a fox jumping over something next to a bunch of symbols and understand it refers to the English alphabet (The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog). And since I'm not a native speaker, there was no way I would figure that out by myself. The twisting mechanic is no more than a way to travel around, and is used in some of the puzzles, but those aren't enough. If you're into adventure games, this is a game for you just keep in mind you'll do a lot of Internet research if you REALLY want to finish the game.… Expand
May 6, 2013This is essentially Mario 64 crossed with Myst with a gorgeous audiovisual aesthetic. If you are the kind of person who that appeals to you will love this. For "thinkers and explorers".
Sprawling, with puzzles ranging from clever yet simple to insanely deep and complex. The king of puzzle platformers. The rotation is used to cleverly and in ways too diverse to be called a "gimmick". Art and soundtrack are both stunning.… Expand
May 12, 2013Firstly let me say that I have never written a metacritic review before, but I love this game so much that it physically hurts, and I just had to let other people know that. I'm an 80s and 90s kid mostly, and this game really took me back to the likes of Super Mario 64, and the Legend of Zelda series in it's ethos and gameplay style.
Firstly it is necessary to say that it is quite a smart game, and that might scare some people. There is thinking required to even reach the end of the game, let alone to 100% it so in that sense I can understand your average Call of Duty robot being put off by this. However what I will say is that this is hands-down the most faithful representation of those old platforming games you used to love, reproduced in beautiful and often pretty trippy 8-bit graphics. Furthermore, this is a game with depth I was able to re-explore areas I had already 'finished' when I learnt some of the game's later secrets. As a result, you feel like you know the layout of the world very well by the end, which add a really memorable character to the overall experience.
In short, if you like your games intelligent, thoughtfully designed, and completely absorbing, then you owe it to yourself to play this game. It's not a game which will last you for months and months, but it is an absolutely unforgettable and charming experience. Don't be put off by the people who are angry because they had to use their brain to play the game, or who had unfortunate technical issues and couldn't see past this. Many more people than that have had no issues, and have been impressed with this game as I have. This one really is not to be missed.… Expand
May 2, 2013rooms are so stupid. There's no way of knowing what to do and I won't look for some idiot's help. Game crashed for the first time after about 2 hours of playing. Graphics are so stunning wow. Awesome job. Music is also very good. Overall pretty good game aside from those cons.
May 4, 2013This is way better than the one on console (I own both), and I really didn't have any complaints at all. I'm not sure why people are even giving this game negative scores, If you actually read their reviews it sounds like they're joking about it.
May 6, 2013It has not worked since launch day. For some reason it cannot work without a discrete graphics card. This limitation should have been made apparent, especially before pre-selling the game.
at first, before they updated this game, it wouldn't run. once this issue was fixed, i found myself drawn into this universe of 2d and 3d. the graphics are beautiful and the environments make this game beautiful. i told myself i would play 20 minutes of it then stop, then 2 hours passed and i realized that i had gotten pulled in. this game is almost perfect. the only thing i would change is the addition of fall damage, which sometimes makes a small fall kill you.… Collapse
May 11, 2013Fez is easily one of the best games i have ever played. The game play mechanics, the level design, the artwork, the secrets, new language and even counting system. everything is superbly done, and Polytron, most notably Phil Fish, deserves two thumbs up for creating a game that I found both challenging and entertaining (a rare feat in today's world of games where the majority of the gaming population plays games like COD or WOW.)
So what are you waiting for? Every second you waste not finding Cubes and AntiCubes is another when the Hexahedron is in pieces, and every second the Hexahedron is in pieces the more the world glitches and falls apart, and the more the world glitches and falls apart the more the world is filled with black holes, and you don't really want to know when the world is full of black holes :P
Buy it. Play it. I promise you won't be disappointed.… Expand
May 6, 2013You can feel the love care and attention lavished on this game through every pixel of its sumptuous levels.
It is not often that you come across a game that has its own language and number set. The different rooms and levels are littered with symbols and clues that you can either dismiss as decoration or, if you are prepared to put in some time code- cracking ,a rich diverse and rewarding universe awaits you.
Not all of it is perfect by any means. Some of the levels are better than others, and moving from hub to hub and room to room can be frustrating and time consuming.
Any one who thinks of themselves as a Gamer is duty bound to play this game, regardless of platform, and once I become Ruler of the Universe I shall make it compulsory for everyone… Expand
May 4, 2013The initial PC release had a tendency to crash, but that seems to be resolved by now. Besides that, Fez is about as good as you could expect: nice pixealart graphics, interesting and unique game mechanics and levels/puzzles that make it shine. And unless you plan on getting all the secrets, Fez is also rather short and easy, and I didn't really mind that, because...
...while the game is fine as it is, I did not feel like playing something memorable and there are acpects of the design that are simply bothersome. First there are those black hole things that block your movements. They are just annoying and in most cases reentering the level makes them dissapear. And this does not seem to be a bug. I am not really sure what is the point of having those obstacles, if I can just get rid of them and even if I don't, there does not seem to be any kind of reward for navigating around them.
Then there is the matter of traveling across larger distances in the world. The world itself is a bunch of interconnected levels with a few (like 5) hubs that allow instant travel between them. Also at the end of some of the levels there are small teleports that will get you to closest hub. So, travel between the hubs is fast and easy, but getting to the actual puzzle further away from the hub requires you to jump again through all the levels on the way. Which is as annoying as it sounds, if not more. I really wish that I could just get instantly to any level I have already been to.
Furthermore the retro 3-colored levels are pain to navigate and the world feels just incredibly empty. The village at the beginning is just filled with interesting NPCs, and there is a similiar one near the end of the game, but inbetween, all those locations feel just like puzzles with fancy props, devoid of any actual life. A bunch of reappearing NPCs throughout the world would help the immersion so much, but no luck thre either.
So, yeah, Fez does what was expected of it and does it well, but there is not much more beyond that, which is kinda shame. And yeah, there seem to be loads of secrets that might ramp up the playtime and difficulty considerably, but the game wasn't really that fun for me to bother with those.… Expand
May 3, 2013It's a solid "Yet Another Indie Puzzle-Platformer", but it's puzzle design suffers from "Cleverer Than Thou" syndrome. Many puzzles rely entirely or mostly on the player's ability to figure out various alphabetic, numerical, or input code systems. The much-hyped perspective shifting gameplay doesn't really play out that much in the actual puzzle solving.
It is possible to complete the game without spending time on the cipher systems, if you feel like figuring out all the puzzles yourself. Full completion will most likely require consultation with GameFAQs.
Worth a buy if you're willing to deal with infrequent, albeit harmless crashes (unless you're on Intel hardware, in which case don't bother) and the biggest douchebag developer on the planet.… Expand
May 5, 2013I've always had my eye on this game, and my expectations for it were extremely high. It is definitely an extremely fun and solid game. One of the best indie games in the market, and I'm not sure why there are so many players who hate it. The port itself is not horrible. I recommend that this game be played with a gamepad, simple because it was designed to be played with one. The atmosphere of the game is so colorful and vivid that playing it is such a pleasure. There are definitely some flaws, but I would rate this game a 9/10.… Expand
May 14, 2013I didn't get sucked in by the hype. This game is great. Music, retro graphics, puzzles... I haven't played anything this fun in ages. I bought the soundtrack and remix soundtracks for it too the music is a cracker.
If you've got $10, spend it on this and make up your own mind. Some gonna love it, some not; it's maybe not serious enough for the "pro's", but if you want a fun platformer with buckets of style, this will make you ooh, aah and giggle in equal measure.
Oh, and it can be damn frustrating. Just before you solve that next piece of the puzzle...
Well done, Polytron. More please.… Expand
May 29, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm used to being long-winded about games, but this one left me speechless. Fez is the result of what felt like an eternity of work (though, admittedly, it was all programmed by one guy, whose story is told in part of the excellent documentary film, Indie Game: The Movie), and man, oh man, was it worth the wait! The audiovisual landscape in Fez is lush and beautiful; no two levels look or sound the same, and the sound and appearance of each world are beguilingly, inextricably linked. Many times, I found myself simply marveling at each new world as it came into focus. Fez is lax on cogent narrative structure, and many people will likely be turned off by the fact that it's essentially one long fetch-quest. Those people should safely be ignored. Fez will challenge your logical mind like no Zelda block-pushing puzzle ever has. It pushes you by presenting seemingly impossible tasks that have incredibly simple solutions. It never relies on your platforming ability alone (which is particularly nice because the controls are a little slippery sometimes), but rather asks you to figure out the simplest way to overcome an obstacle. I was often stuck for a solution to something for hours at a time before I would shift my perspective (quite literally) and finally have something click. Fez has themes akin to (and a denouement seemingly deliberately reminiscent of) 2001: A Space Odyssey and is as absorbing and worthy of a note-taking friend as Myst was all those years ago. Mysticism in games (no pun intended) has not lost its luster. Fez really made me think of self-determinism and internal structure in a whole new light; and yes, it's just as esoteric as it sounds, but it's not without its charm, either. My one and only true caveat for this game is a warning; purists beware, you're going to search online sometimes. I completed this game in its entirety in about fifteen hours, and I'd like to think I did an admirable job at puzzle solving for the most part. If you keep your eyes open and sharp, you'll find hints that will help you greatly. Let me say that again; greatly. All the same, some of these puzzles are so esoteric, you have to be a pretty-near obsessive person to hunt down some solutions. One of my favorites was a puzzle featuring two intermittently flashing lights. One Internet search later, I learned that I had to convert those lights into binary ones and zeros. Then, I had to change those digits to ASCII programming script. Yeesh! Other than that little adventure, the puzzles are head-scratchers without being so overwhelming. I highly recommend this game to anyone who's willing to feel a little stupid and awed at its awesome complexity.… Expand
May 7, 2013I'm not a big platform gaming fan, and I don't play all that many indie games. But you can tell the guy that made this put a lot of work into it. I saw the documentary on Netflix that featured this game and I cannot say that I was all that interested in it. But I kept reading things about it and it's only $10 on steam so I figured what the hell, why not try it out. I'm glad I did. The game literally put a smile on my face as I realized the developer was intending on marrying old-school graphics with a 3d effect that plays an important role in the game. He pulls it off nicely. You have to change views in order to progress to find the cubes. It's like a 3d puzzle. I played the first level so far and I'm impressed with the attention to detail. From the floating cube helper that tells you everything, to popups that give you hints, to the world map, it's as if the guy thought of everything to make the game more of an enjoyment that a frustration...a casual game is what I wanted and this is what I got. I really like the fact that if I die, I re-spawn right where I last was just before i made the mistake so that I don't find myself repeating things over and over and getting bored. $10 well spent!… Expand
May 11, 2013Honestly, 90? this game is to oatmeal for me bland and average, mix in some better visuals and easier to understand controls with co-op this could be better!
Jun 2, 2013Fez has some problems, but it is worth playing. The music and atmosphere are great, and many of the puzzles are a lot of fun to solve. But ultimately, it's the puzzle design that left me with the feeling that the game comes up short. While the beginning of the game has a lot of great puzzles, the later game is filled with challenges that are either frustrating or downright impenetrable. I solved some of them without really knowing why, while others required a lot of tedium. Then there are those that require you to crack codes. Since they all had basically the same solution once you cracked the codes (or looked them up online), this came off to me as a total cop-out.
In short, Fez is well worth your time, but trying to solve the later puzzles requires so much drudgery that you'll put the game down before you ever get to all of them.… Expand
Jul 24, 2013This is a typical example for bad indie retro-graphic games.
It imitates the graphics from the past, but it has no deep at all. You respwan immeadantly at the
spot where you failed. Fine graphics dont polish that. What a fake game.
Jun 14, 2013Brilliant, fun and challenging and so very creative with layers of depth if you wish to look below the surface. I would buy this game multiple times if it would help encourage more games with this level of creativity.
May 8, 2013Not a single technical problem encountered. Enjoyed the game from start to finish.
This game reminded me some golden memories from the past and yet brought enough new to me.
Unique mechanic idea that doesn't get boring as the levels evolve and improve from time to time. Immersive and beautifully crafted world to explore, interesting puzzles and secrets to dis-cover. With enough fun, mystery and replayability, the game manages to live up to all the 'noise' around it that we've been hearing for five years.
Congrats Polytron.… Expand
Jul 17, 2013Very esoteric puzzler... maybe I came looking for the wrong thing (fun game play) and failed to enjoy what is really here (ambiance and mood lighting) but this was just not my cup of tea. I found this game to be very boring once the novelty of the Escher space wore off (about 2-3 hours in for me).
May 14, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. its always see a game with a different idea than just a shooter and it's really a platformer the a concept amazing visuals are breathtaking. I think the game plays really solid and as experience no other game can copy… Expand
Aug 23, 2013I don't really know why people liked this game so much, it's boring and always the same thing about 2D games. I just laught at start but then it becomes too bored game.
May 6, 2013Fun and pretty, with nice music. Fez ran very stably for me on 3-year-old hardware. I enjoyed going beyond the regular gameplay to figure out the embedded puzzles in NewGame+ mode. Fez gives back what you choose to invest in it, which is very refreshing for a modern game. I give it 9 and not 10 because at its most basic level, before deciphering any of the in-game language, there isn't much driving you forward except the desire to explore new pretty areas.… Expand
May 9, 2013I wasn't sure what experience to expect, but for the little money you pay for it on Steam you are rewarded with a beautifully imagined game world.
Simple yet taxing on the brain, it really is a work of art. The outstanding soundtrack completes the immersion and you quickly understand why this game is so highly rated.
The guy who created this and fellow contributors who helped complete the magic are genius and we NEED these kind of people to thrive and succeed. The PC version plays in HD and is arguably the best version. So far the game runs stellar and I have had no problems with crashes running on Windows 8 64 bit and a ATI HD 7850 graphics card with 8GB of system memory.
Based on my experience, I would urge you to buy a copy immediately without hesitation.… Expand
Jun 1, 2013I was waiting for this one for about 2 years since it has ralsed on XBOX. This game has awesome art, soundtrack and story. I don't really think that there's any bad aspect. And yes, it uses a lot of memory and CPU but it's not that bad at all.
Jul 29, 2013There are many things to bring up about this "game", to begin with It's a concept that has been done several times before.
This game does not have any difficulty, there is no enemies, the puzzles can be solved by a year old. If you fall of a platform you'll respawn AT THE SAME PLATFORM. So much for a difficult and innovative platformer.
The pixel art is decent, music pretty much made in a chiptune generator and still it gets praised, people are so ignorant.
This game will get boring after 5 minutes, I suggest you to pirate it if you want it so bad.… Expand
Jul 9, 2013In this game you'll be walking systematically around buildings while trying to not miss any doors or cubes.
Short and simple; it looks great, but it's not much fun.
Jul 25, 2013The 30 first minutes are fun. And then it is always the same... jump, rotate, jump, rotate, jump... This game is not that bad, it is an interesting concept. In fact I was expecting more a puzzle game like portal (even in 2d) than a platform game. Because in the end, this is just a platform game with a simple rotate feature (yes you can look for riddles in the game but I guess that most players wont pay attention to those).… Expand
Sep 6, 2013This game is a mess and the support is even worse. It doesn't work as intended.
It crashes with most graphic cards after 1 minute of gameplay.
It doesn't surprise me that the trailer stops at the moment when he gains the Fez hat, because after that a LOT of graphic artifacts appear and the game suddenly crash.
Tested with more than 3 computers with different specs, and also with my work computer: i7-2670QM 8 GB RAM ATI 6770m.… Expand
Sep 19, 2013Very nice concept, but the way it is executed is really boring. It's still a decent game though. And by decent I mean just enough to get a little bit of fun out of it. It's not a terrible game. But it's not a lot of fun either.
Sep 28, 2013Fez is the only game that has actually made me fill up several notebook pages with notes about its puzzles. The core mechanic is mind-blowing and very versatile, and the puzzles are very hard but VERY rewarding to solve.
This is not to mention that Fez is a masterpiece both visually and audibly. The visuals and music combine to make a world that is incredibly absorbing and pleasant to play in.
Jun 13, 2013Game was fun and I enjoyed playing it. wasn't the best ever but atleast for the price I enjoyed myself and seen a small challange other then that its one of those games you have to decide for yourself to play or not.
Jul 22, 2013While it is a perfectly passable platform puzzle game it has none of the *WOW* factor that would justify it's 10/10 reviews. It's an above average game, but it doesn''t do anything to make you fall in love with it or remember it for years to come, like say Portal.
Sep 23, 2013Boring and repetitive. Yawn. And I really hate those lazy 8 bit Minecraft style graphics that's just an excuse for not making better graphics. It's 2013. Not the 80s.
Aug 2, 2013Extremely boring and nothing happens at all times. Also extremely easy. I'm glad I didn't buy this and only played it from a friend's steam account. This is not a game for a mind that wants challenges, but rather for someone that has enough challenges in real life and only wants a method to unwind. Why does it cost more than 50 cents?
Aug 19, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. continuous, slow paced hunt for events that make your world spin around. The 4 is given for good visuals, okay audio, and amount of content. Should there be something that just makes you push for that one next cube, I'd give it a lot more, but there simply isn't. it's also hipster garbage… Expand
Sep 11, 2013That is for screwing with PC gamers, and then crying that you wont make Fez 2 I like the game i have nothing against it, but the developer messed with the pc gamers
Oct 8, 2013One Word: Nonsense. Another Word: Rubbish. Finally, it's plain stupid for anyone to even consider playing this game. SEGA's time has come and gone. So stop reminding us with this 2d/Block 3d game. I don't even know what dimension to call it.
Jul 9, 2013Fez is an amazing story. The game mechanics are very fun and intuitive, the art is eye meltingly beautiful, and when is comes to a soundtrack, this is one of the best I have ever heard. This game is a Solid 10/10
Nov 26, 2013Another artistic retro indie game, that's new. If you love to stroke your ego by playing a generic 8-bit platformer with little to no challenge, this is for you. At least you'll know you're superior to those idiots that just don't understand the art behind every pixel.
Feb 26, 2014Manic Miner graphics from 1983. ??? No thanks. Should be some kind of warning before buy that. Feels pretty cheated cause this is worst game I ever tried to play!
Jul 18, 2013This was one of my last games to get sucked in by the hype train. Everyone called it ground breaking, and once I started playing realized my mistake. I hope you like not knowing what the you are doing. BUT LOOK THE WALLS TURN
May 19, 2013Not a bad game, but not amazing as well.
This is a puzzle platforming game, with a calming ambiance. The colorful graphics, and the soothing music really comes together to create a relaxing atmosphere. However, this game goes overboard on that aspect, as I found myself quite bored at times. The character moves really slow, and there's nothing really engaging.
The visuals are quite beautiful at first, but then you come to realize that every "new" environment, is just the same old graphics, but put through some filter.
Don't get me wrong, I did have fun playing this game, but I was never truly excited to play this game, like I never actually felt a strong urge to load this game up and find the next puzzle piece. I guess I was always hoping for some kind of change to blow me away and to captivate me, but unfortunately FEZ remains about the same all throughout the game.… Expand
Jun 21, 2013I have to give this game credit for it's super unique design and unique story. Also, the gameplay is fun and there are some clever puzzles. There's a lot to be discovered in Fez and for the price it's well worth a purchase.
Jun 15, 2013Perfect inexpressible atmosphere, cool puzzles and well conceived in detail it's all about FEZ. Everything in this game (except clock puzzle) is perfect. I've completed the game immediately after the release on the PC on my linux laptop through Wine and I have not met a single bug (crashes, broken saves, CPU overload, etc).
There are some people, who hates Phil Fish (general creator of FEZ) because Phil was shown as disgusting man (often just pulling words out of context). So, don't believe negative reviews: most likely they are not objective.… Expand
Jun 16, 2013Its a very good game.It has a cool ending. And gameplay is good but it is prety bland and not revoliutionery but good the game fun to play and is very interesting and even creative at some times. final verdickt is good job if you can do any better youl get tens all around.
Jun 23, 2013Fez is a love letter to classic gaming. Every bit of this game is detailed down to the last pixel. Fez is full of secrets and puzzles that make you think. Yes the game has a few minor glitches but when is any game perfect. It is amazing to see that Phil Fish was able to release this game to pc where it belongs and Microsoft for wanting $10,000 just to patch it. Designing games is not easy and for this to be Phil's first project shows that FEZ 2 will be even better.… Expand
Jul 4, 2013Fez is 2D game that was originally released only on XBOX and when it finally come out on PC. I immediately bought it on steam. Unfortunately for me game is was disappointment. Game does not offer many things to do only thing you have to do is collecting peace's of cube and occasionally solve some puzzles. Yes FEZ looks gorgeous but for me pretty graphics is not enough. It would be far more interesting if FEZ could do something more as he progresses in game only thing you can do is rotating your 2D world its really interesting concept that we don't see very often in games it's really a shame that author did not developed his brilliant idea.
So summary FEZ is COOL 2D game for players that play games occasionally it is also great game for KIDS but not for hardcore gamers or someone who is looking for challenge.… Expand
Jul 12, 2013This is an EXCELLENT game. I loved while playing this game. This has brought a new 3d worlds playing in 2d world. It's an amazing puzzle game and it does not cost that much at all. GET IT.
Jul 20, 2013The negative reviews are far from right. This game was great on Xbox, and it is better to see an indie game like this come to its true home: PC. The graphics are cute and the retro setting fits accordingly. The actual game mechanics are simplistic and it's fun to see what puzzles you can accomplish using them. The music is calming and beautiful. I am able to run this game with no lag or bugs, so I can say for sure that it runs PRETTY well. There is a lot of indie games out there, and few can accomplish gaining the beauty games like Fez have.… Expand

Jul 26, 2013Really fun and interesting platformer. It does what it sets out to do very well. It reminds me of the kind of fun I had while playing Mario Galaxy on the Wii. There are nice little touches that really make me experience the game instead of just watch it.
Did have some first launch issues (Microsoft .net related) but after a windows update and restart the game worked fine.
Jul 29, 2013it's just okay it defiantly doesn't deserve all the hype it got it's just a puzzler with a great idea, but that's the entire game there is no action its just the same thing with a different level layout and it gets boring
Aug 1, 2013Amazing synthesis of platformer and puzzle game. Fun, challenging, beautiful. It was a long time since game forced me to write down encrypted messages to decode them. And I liked it!
Oct 19, 2013What is up with the critic love-fest going on here? Admittedly I did feel all warm and fuzzy for the first hour of playing this game and I wanted to tell my friends about it. However, after that first hour I realized that this game is pretty much just.... blaaah. My reasons are varied, but I will just say this: "Fez" gets very boring, very fast. It absolutely does not deserve the hype it is getting. It is aesthetically pleasing in some respects, but that is all.… Expand

Nov 5, 2013Phil Fish an absolute hipster tosspot, and Fez is one of the worst games ever made. There is no challenge to be had here. There are no enemies and if you die, you restart immediately where you left off. The graphics look like a poor man's version of the poor man's version of Cave Story, and unlike other indie games, doesn't even have good music.
And don't forget the "FUNNY INTERNET JOKES" because you know, indie games. Fez 2 is cancelled? Good. The world has been spared from more of Phil Fish's awful games.… Expand
Aug 9, 2013The game is medium quality and the developer is a complete idiot so bye Therefore is there are so many bugs that gonna end in a crash that is all
Jul 17, 2013Fez would be perfect if it worked the way it should have on launch. The game itself is really interesting, featuring a bright color palette and is jam packed with interesting design choices. Unfortunately, I can't recommend you buy it on PC, as it is was very poorly optimized and could easily blue-screen your rig. If an Xbox or PS3 is an option, play this game there.
Jun 9, 2013This is probably the most aesthetically pleasing platformer of all time. The pixel art paired with the awesome soundtrack create a great gaming experience. This game was well worth the wait.
Jul 21, 2013Beautiful game, the people giving negative scores really just don't like the developer. It's a very beautiful puzzle-platformer both aesthetically and in terms of gameplay.
Apr 9, 2014Very bad performance issues, bland gameplay and overly repetitive. Developer is one of the biggest cry babies to ever set foot in the gaming industry. Keep your Fez 2, nobody wants it.
Aug 11, 2013The game runs and the visuals are not bad(+2).
The game is basically paper-mario but with no production value or story. Game Features: Wander around aimlessly for 30 mins, Look at decent visuals, Remember paper-mario.
Most people will buy the game on sale for their dusty indie collection and never play it.
Oct 1, 2013This game is decent, but not fun to play after about 5 minutes or so. The dimensional switching idea is nice, but that alone fails to make the game worthy of one's time.
Sep 16, 2013Another overrated indie "retro" lazy platformer game. Gameplay is based on a gimmick and is very easy, no penalties. When you're stuck just rotate and now you aren't stuck. This 2D/3D gameplay merge has been done before.
Dec 10, 2013Another greatly over rated PC game. I think this game mostly appeals to people who like to search out secrets. I dislike that type of game so I found to be mind numbingly boring.
For such a simple game it runs pretty slowly on my PC, which runs most modern games very well. Controls with my Xbox wireless controller are a bit off, Fez would sometimes wander off and fall off the screen.
Sep 7, 2013The game is fine, but not amazing. I either didn't know or didn't remember the big gameplay hook, so it was a wonderful surprise when it was revealed about five minutes into the game. Unfortunately, it was one of the only memorable bits about the game. I mostly bought Fez because of all the rave reviews, but alas the game is rated about 20 points too high. This indie escalation thing has just got to stop! Seriously, if we're going to rate indie games on a different scale (with 90 being perfectly adequate and 5 being complete garbage), then we need to be up front about it so that nobody really believes that an indie game with a 90 rating is going to be as good as a AAA title with a 90 rating. This one certainly, definitely, without a doubt is not as good.… Expand
Oct 11, 2013Fez is all about beautiful bright colored pixel art and great retro-ish music but unfortunately I can't praise the gameplay. Fez is a 2D puzzle platformer with an unique twist that let's you "change your point of view". This means that the world is in 3D but you can look at it from one side at a time. This allows for great puzzle elements but get's stale quite quickly, after all there's just a little that you can do aside from jumping and there are only few collectables and even those are only for completionists since they offer no new mechanics to the game. For me it feels that all the effort has been in developing this neat trick of 2D/3D but it's not enough to carry the whole game.… Expand

Aug 13, 2013I can't do this game quite the justice it deserves. It is crescent fresh, absolutely gorgeous and charming! I won't spoil the mechanics but they will twist your mind in unheard-of ways. The story and world interaction made me all fuzzy inside. The sound deserves a great system cranked way way up. I wish all games sounded this good. Not only the sound effects but the music, so odd and otherworldly, just divine. Oh and talk about tough puzzles. There are plenty.
The only disappointment was after about 70% the way through it just got repetitive. I never actually finished it but it's one of those games where when you come back after a hiatus, there's a metric ton of enjoyment awaiting you.
One hint. Don't jump ahead, play it through in its proper sequence. (which is tough to figure out at first) It's much much more satisfying.
8/10 but gave it a 9 for bravery, charm and sheer imagination.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013I don't see what all the bad press is for Fez is easily one of my favourite platformers. The rotation concept works well, and the retro graphics complement it beautifully. Puzzles are well designed and challenging. I do agree that there could have been a little bit more of a tutorial, but I managed to pick everything up pretty easily. All in all, very good.
Feb 10, 2014This game is a masterpiece, im not usually into these kinda 8 bit looking games but this one made me feel like a kid again was some trippy effects almost old school Atari like, really enjoyed this game.
Oct 16, 2013This game isn't necessarily innovating much, but the way it utilizes the mechanics and clever puzzles that require more than just in-game tools makes it quite unique. The game has quite a lot of bugs though, and while most aren't game-breaking, it does kind of remove the player from the experience.
Sep 29, 2013I believe this game is by far the greatest indie platform title ive ever played.it brings back arcade style games and stunned me in detailed maps and warp gates.if you ever want to play an indie game then this is it.
Oct 29, 2013Just signed up here to write this review and doubt I will give any other game a 10 for a very long time. In almost 30 years of gaming (I'm 33) this has to rate as one of the best experiences I've had. As you make your way to 209.4% you will laugh, catch your breath, shiver and have spontaneous outbursts as you slowly work things out (mostly) by yourself, moving deeper into the story and levels of Fez and past just being a game, through classic, and ending at masterpiece.
Thanks so much Polytron.… Expand
Dec 3, 2013This is an art game, a complete zen experience. You need sometime to understand all moviments anda concepts. Soundtrack is really amazing. I`m sure that the autor took so long time to deliver this game because tried to do the best of him

May 19, 2014Excellent, clever game, that gets more poor user reviews than it deserves because people are butthurt and extraordinarily whiny over comments the developer made.
In the end, the developer is a jackass, and a loudmouth idiot. But he's a dedicated loudmouth idiot, who put together a really profoundly clever and inventive platformer, that is a game you should play. If you can't separate the two issues, you're going to miss out on something great.
Here's hoping the cretinous moron goes on to make many more really clever games.… Expand
Mar 24, 2014This game is a masterpiece of indie development. Breathtaking locations, challenging puzzles, and head-scratching secrets make this game one of a kind. FEZ manages to be tough and challenging without every becoming frustrating. Anyone who gave this a bad rating because it crashed on their computer really have no respect for indies or indie developers.
Mar 16, 2014Why does this masterpiece get so much hate? The game has a simple concept, surrounding many secrets. If all you haters would leave the creator alone, we would see a sequel. The language gives you a challenge, and the puzzles are well thought out. If you really played the game, you would understand why it's not what these users are saying.
Mar 17, 2014An artistic masterpiece a must for any player who likes exploration made out of pixels with vivid colors and has an amazing sound track played by Disasterpeace make this game an incredible package to buy for only 9.99$.

at first, before they updated this game, it wouldn't run. once this issue was fixed, i found myself drawn into this universe of 2d and 3d. the graphics are beautiful and the environments make this game beautiful. i told myself i would play 20 minutes of it then stop, then 2 hours passed and i realized that i had gotten pulled in. this game is almost perfect. the only thing i would change is the addition of fall damage, which sometimes makes a small fall kill you.… Collapse

Where's the basement home theater room? What, no 100-inch screen and jazzy theater chairs? There's a 60-incher in the playroom—but the three teenagers have to share the TV because none of their rooms have one?
These suburban New York City homeowner's aren't technophobes or Luddites. They just wanted a way technology could improve their daily living, without taking away from the look of their home. The house doesn't have a dedicated theater room, but it boasts several above-average-size displays, three rooms with full surround sound, carefully placed architectural speakers, home automation that includes wireless touchpanels, extensive lighting control and networking that helps feed the whole-house audio. Working with custom electronics pros, architects and designers who understood the homeowners' concerns made the influx of technology more palatable—and ultimately more enjoyable. (Click here to view a slideshow.)
To See or Not to See?
That question had a simple answer when architect Roz Young of The Young Company discussed entertainment plans and options with the homeowners. They wanted to keep the TVs' prominence to a minimum, and one solution to that was "out of sight, out of mind." Enter the custom electronics (CE) pros, Integrated Electronic Solutions (IES) of White Plains, N.Y., whose work on stealthy plasma screen installations was just one important aspect of this overall home systems solution.
The house's open-concept layout and contemporary interior design would only enhance the impact of the great room and family room displays. This, in turn, inspired the homeowners' to want to limit that impact.
"Immediately we suggested that all the electronics equipment go in a closet somewhere so [they wouldn't] be seen," says IES president Anthony Bartolomeo. "That led to the conversation of a television in the living space. As much as they wanted one, they didn't want one. Once we had an understanding of the feel of the home, we designed around that."
IES and the homeowners were most creative with the high vaulted ceiling in the great room. All eyes turn to the large stone fireplace, flanked by built-in bookshelves, all of which rise to an alcove ceiling. The initial thought was to install a flat-panel TV that could be mounted within the room's shelving and articulate toward viewers. But the 55-inch plasma that was requested didn't work in such a high-traffic area.
"We decided to locate it more centrally, above the fireplace, which we found was better for the seating arrangement in the room," says Bartolomeo. "Once we realized we had enough room above the fireplace for a lift, Roz wasn't hesitant at all."
Young, who had worked with IES on other home projects, coordinated with local metal workers and a Venetian plaster contractor so the SVS Lifts motorized lift device would look completely flush when retracted into the 6-foot soffit cavity. Lowering the 250-pound lift at the push of a button can be quite a site for guests to behold.
Put the Audio Away
The tuck-away TV solved one aesthetic problem, but what of the accompanying surround sound? "The interior design was very clean and uncluttered, and that went for everything: furniture, lighting, audio and video," Young says. "There's no good spot for a grille or a speaker, that's pretty much the philosophy, but the sound and viewing have to work perfectly together. Making the audio invisible was a challenge."
Young worked with IES to incorporate Boston Acoustics in-wall speakers within the bookshelves, and a pair of Sonance surround speakers in other walls. Even two in-wall Velodyne subwoofers pump out bass while hidden from view. In this room and others, most speaker grilles were painted to match the wall finishes.
Early in the project, a mechanical closet next to the basement playroom was designated as the central equipment hub to which IES routed cables. One rack primarily contains house-wide audio gear, amplifiers and cable TV boxes, while the other handles surround-sound equipment and home automation controllers. The racks were raised about 4 inches off the floor in case of any water leaks, and ample ventilation was piped into the room to keep gear properly cooled.
The Crestron automation (programmed by John Meyer of Crestron specialists Elexos) keeps the tunes flowing throughout the house, with selections accessible from a number of touchpanels. Rather than program page after page of choices for each family member, the owners and children can pop an iPod into one of the Crestron docking stations around the house for favorite music and playlists—Mom's office and the playroom naturally being two of those locations. Apple Airport Extreme routers enable networking of iTunes apart from the Crestron docks.
"I'd say the greatest benefit of [the installation] is being able to play digital music throughout the speakers in the house," says Mom. "The kids really enjoy being able to use their iPods in the docking stations, especially when they have friends over."Facebook and Twitter.

I haven't used it as yet, working on a different project with dies and embossing folders. Will be trying it out shortly!
Love this cutter. Instructions were easy to follow and I was able use immediately.
I have a mini personal Cricut that was purchased from Overstock and I love it. I bought this one because I needed to be able to die cut larger items and this was the best product + extras for the money. Just take it out of the box and as long as you have card stock you are ready to start using the Cricut Expression. If anyone asked me where I purchased my expression I would definitely tell them to check Overstock for great value. Thank you Overstock again for a great shopping experience on the net.
I am well pleased with my cricut. With this package and purchase of vinyl/cardstock, I was able to open up package and start crafting. My first project was ornaments for Christmas. Whipped out a dozen in no time flat. Love my cricut!!
Awesome, it was worth the wait to get a bigger machine, and I love the cartridges that came with it.

The Show: Rodarte
Where: Gagosian Gallery
The Scene: Excitable – We LOVE Rodarte ….
The Look: Hair Stylist Odile Gilbert and make-up artist James Kaliardos were told that the Rodarte girls were to be dream-like, as if stuck between being awake and asleep. Odile Gilbert and her team worked with Aveda products to create neat, wet-look and childlike hair adorned with beautiful handmade copper hairpins attached to hidden cornrows in horizontal rows across the back of the head. Meanwhile James told us that in the makeup camp they were 'conjuring up the spirits' with lilac sparking cheeks and a smoky grey eye on a pale white face for a distinctly magical look.
New Product Alert: Yikes! Jin Soon was on hand for MAC painting nails a heavenly, ethereal shimmering silvery blue. This polish has no name – and isn't out until later this year but we can tell you we'll be first at the checkout.
Hero Products: Create wonderfully sleek and smooth look by prepping damp hair with Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener and blow-dry smooth with a flat brush. Apply MAC Pigment in Pink Opal to the outer brow bone before pressing MAC Pigment in Kitchmas into the centre of the cheekbone for the perfect Rodarte Pixie cheek.

I enclose with this a complete dossier on transport which has been supplied from various sources. Apart from the information of a psychological nature it gives there is one basic element to be discovered and that is dissatisfaction. The following remarks
consist of what I deem to be both fair and true from the reports of individual workers together with my own observations. I have also tried to consider the Committee's pocket.
The transport which we have at Granen does not consist of ambulances but medium-weight (2-ton) commercial vehicles. The big Renaults are not independently sprung therefore the whole body moves at the slightest road shock, except when under a two-ton load which they never are. The springing does not come into proper operation until the van is fully loaded. The engines are of inferior manufacture and the ratio of power to body weight is insufficient. An attempt has been made to compensate for this in the gear box which for reasons which are obscure to me, is said to be leading to disaster. The two big trucks which are fitted with stretcher mountings are extremely difficult to use since the top berth is quite out of reach of the average tall Spaniard standing on the ground. (Through the fault of no one present a patient was dropped when her stretcher was being removed from an upper berth). The actual mounting is subject to a sway and vibration which besides inconveniencing the patient will probably lead to its breaking adrift. The hoods are permeable to both rain and cold. Having myself spent a night in one of the new vehicles while in service I can testify to almost unbelievable discomfort from wind and cold. There are no clutch-stops and so frequent changing necessitated by low engine power is made the more difficult; when changing up on a slight incline the trucks lose a great deal of way since the wait between third and top is about fifteen seconds. Neither the medical authorities nor the Parc Movil are very impressed by these new additions and they show up very poorly beside Spanish ambulances. I would like to say, however, that they are an improvement on our original transport and certainly better than the second-hand vehicles which were last sent. In explanation of the strength of this report and the others here enclosed I would refer you to my medical report Section "Role of the Hospital".
On arrival in Barcelona I received reports that (a) transport had completely collapsed, and (b) there was serious unemployment amongst drivers. These two statements I hold to be completely irreconcilable.
On arrival at Granen I found servicable transport to be in a bad condition. In addition there was one truck completely unservicable and one small ambulance running but not fit for active service. These two have since been sent to Sarinena for repair.
An instance of irresponsibility in handling the transport was early afforded when the chief mechanic immediately leaped into one
of the new ambulances and prepared to use it for transporting a load of washing. Another instance is that of the truck in bad condition.


text: Our European Commercial Carates are clearly great at multitasking. They're lightweight yet sturdy enough to help you sort and store everything, including toys in a kid's room, groceries in a trunk, cleaning and garden supplies in a kitchen or shed and athletic equipment in a garage. Plus, they feature a unique stacking design that lets you slide smaller bins resting on top of larger bins so you can easily access the contents of each.

From the outside, the signature dome at the upscale Montage Beverly Hills hotel in—you guessed it—Beverly Hills appears as a beautifully gilded architectural detail. Inside, it's a completely different story. Using a unique system of projectors, lights and control, the 35-foot-wide ceiling dome displays a variety of images, from abstract color patterns to swirling images of clouds to blazing sunsets.
The owner, who purchased the renovated 4,500-square-foot bachelor pad on the upper floor of the 201-room hotel, "challenged us to come up with some way to really set [the dome] off," says Josh Christian of custom electronics design and installation firm DSI Entertainment Systems in Los Angeles. "He wanted a real 'wow' factor for his house." Knowing that no ordinary projection system would be able to project images onto a concave surface without a lot of distortion, DSI worked with a firm that specializes in "edge blending" multiple projected images to appear as one.
Four business-grade video projectors were needed to cover the dome's curved surface—and each is mounted in a recessed pocket at the base of the dome and connected to its own networked computer.
DSI connected the projection system to a Crestron control system to give the owner a simple way to choose the images to display. From either a 5.7-inch wireless touchpanel or a 5.7-inch in-wall panel, he can scroll to the "dome" page where available sources are listed: Blu-ray, Apple TV, or most likely one of the computers, where dozens of artistic still images are stored. From here, he chooses the source and a particular image like sunset, trees or clouds.
An onyx fireplace mantel was designed to complement the choice, having been fitted on the backside with colored LED lights. Again, DSI programmed several presets into the Crestron system so all the owner has to do it touch a RED, GREEN, BLUE, FLASH, STROBE or FADE button to turn the mantel into a visual piece of art. There's a 65-inch Samsung TV over the mantel for more conventional forms of entertainment, but Christian admits that's usually the last thing the owner turns on when his friends come over. "Imagine having cocktails while the ceiling and fireplace mantel shift colors and images," he says. "Creating a unique visual ambiance was what this room and project was all about."
Integration Galore
The video dome and backlit fireplace might be the technological showpieces of this renovated residence, but the Crestron system controls far more than these two components. Control over motorized window shades, surveillance cameras, thermostats, a whole-house audio distribution system and a Vantage lighting control system are unified under the Crestron Pro2 controller. It receives commands via wireless and hardwired communications from keypads, touchpanels, iPads and other devices. Plus, it's IP-based (for Internet Protocol), which means a user can access and interact with the system remotely from a mobile device.
