From Nova Scotia I finally started heading west stopping at the Cmon Hostel in Moncton again then on to Campbellton, New Brunswick. Cambellton is a starting point for the Gaspesie scenic route 132. A circular route following the coast around the Gaspesie peninsular then back through the mountains. I was planning to do the coastal part of the route then continue west for points unknown.
My Cambellton Home
I was told to expect stunning views of Gaspesie as I approached Cambellton. The last fifty miles were completed in light rain and sea mist so I missed out on that first sighting.
Cambellton New Brunswick From Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf mountain on the outskirts of Cambellton is a winter ski resort. It offers views of Quebec Provence across the bay from its summit.
Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Lift
Although not cold, the weather is cooler and certainly much more changeable. I put this down to being further north but a number of Canadians have said this summer is unusually cooler and wetter. I have started using hostels where they are available but am still mainly camping.
Gaspesie Coastline
My Forillon Nation Park Dining Room
The Gaspesie coastal route may not be quite as dramatic as Cabots Trail, Nova Scotia. Passing through fishing and tourist villages for a lot of the route it is well worth doing though. At the tip of the peninsular is Parc National De Forrillon, a place I was told, renowned for whale watching. My hostel had great views over the bay and a few Porpoise could be seen from my alfresco dining table in the evening.

The next day I went on a whale watching boat trip from Grande Grave within the park. The bay was dead calm, ideal for whale spotting although there was some sea mist reducing visibility to half a mile or so at the harbour. Having booked on the next trip I went for a walk and saw more porpoise and Minke whales from the cliff top footpath. One Minke whale was only a 100 yards or so from shore but it had gone by the time I got the camera out.
Minke Whale
There were more Minke whales on the boat trip including a good view of one with its head above the surface and water pouring from its mouth. Minke dont use a blowhole to breath which is why they get their head out of the water. The sea mist thickened reducing visibility and stopped us seeing anything further out in the bay where the larger whales usually are.
Minke Whale - Just Missed The Head Shot
Cap Gaspe In The Mist - Forillon National Park
After the boat trip I headed on foot to the lighthouse at the end of the peninsular.
Footpath To Cap Gaspe, Forillon National Park
The path followed the shoreline where there were more Porpoise and Minke whales in view. The whale watching boat went by on its next trip then a larger whale surfaced sending a flume of water into the air. As the whale swam on the surface and continued to blow the boat swung round for a closer look. As the boat got close the whale started... er .. having a whale of a time. It was lifting long flippers into the air and splashing them down onto the surface of the water with a resounding crash. Then it dived several times lifting its huge tail well into the air each time. It would reappear coming head first vertically out of the water, turning and splashing on its back into the water with a loud crashing noise that was delayed by a second or two from where I was watching. Most times it would get half its body out of the water but once I could see its head, body and most of the tail.

The people on the boat would have been looking up at the whale. I was excited at seeing this spectacle which went on for half an hour but I was also wishing I had gone on the later boat trip for a closer view! I met the boat later on as it came into dock and found out it had been a Humpback whale we had seen.

The GPS which has been fantastic in allowing me to plan routes on quiet, scenic roads played a trick on me during the next leg of the trip further round the Gaspesie peninsular. It said there was no fuel stations on my route for over 100 miles. It seemed very unlikely as there were a number of villages on the way but I decided to play safe and detoured to Gaspe for fuel. On returning to the planned coastal route there was a fuel station within ten miles and several further on that werent in the GPS database.
Gaspesie Roadside Rest Stop
Arriving on the St. Lawrence river side of the Gaspesie peninsular I stayed in a hostel on the beach. It was a bit of a party hostel with young French Canadians camping on the beach, staying in the hostels teepee and yurts as well as the Sea Shack hostel. A DJ was playing mainly reggae until the early hours. I had a few local beers and left them to it. The next morning sitting on the veranda with a cup of tea overlooking the St. Lawrence bay I was tempted to stay another night but the wild west was beckoning.

My New Dining Room Table
I have been travelling for four months now but still get a kick from crossing a new border or reaching particular landmarks. St. Lawrence Bay marks the end of the planned part of the trip. Up till now I have been heading for places I have wanted to visit with a couple of days travelling at the most between them. Now I just have a vague notion of heading west by the most northerly route I can find to Alaska. There isnt time to get to Alaska before the cold weather sets in and by all accounts Canada is very good at cold weather! For the time being I will keep heading west and see what alternatives present themselves. Most travellers crossing Canada take a more southerly route passing into the USA several times enroute. My aim is to avoid cities where possible which the northern route does. I also want to taste if possible the wilderness and great open spaces of Canada. If it gets too wild I can always head south. The northern route isnt much further north than the USA border anyway.
Parc Du Bic, St Lawrence Bay, Quebec Provence
Turning up at Trois Pistoles for the ferry across St. Lawrence Bay I was fortunate to arrive 45 minutes before the last trip of the day.
St. Lawrence Bay Ferry
Beware Skidoos!
My journey followed routes 178 and 167 to Chibougamau then onto route 113. On this section there was a sign warning that there was 191km to the next filling station. Not a problem but an indication that it is time to start keeping an eye out for refuelling opportunities.
What's At The Bottom Of Your Garden?
There was very little traffic on these roads and with long distances between any sign of habitation it began to feel like I was reaching the edge of the vast wilderness of northern Canada.
Lakes And Trees, Typical Scenery In This Part Of Canada
Nothing Behind....
....And Nothing in Front
Taking a right turn onto route 397 took me onto a 70 mile section of dirt road, a well surfaced two lane highway. I was heading north of La Sarre to pick up route 652, another stretch of dirt road about 90 miles long. I was expecting another smoothish two lane highway but joined a very uneven stoney stretch that had to be negotiated in first and second gear. Assuming it would improve I pressed on until I came to a collapsed bridge. There were some ATV tracks running down the soft sandy side, through a small stream with a rocky bottom and out, up another soft sandy ramp. I rated my chances of getting through at 75% but if I did get stuck in the sandy sides I would probably have needed assistance to get out.

Collapsed Bridge, Normetal, Quebec Provence
Taking the collapsed bridge as an indication that the road wasnt in use and wasnt going to improve I reluctantly turned round to take the more southerly paved route through Matheson to Cochrane and Ontario.

Obama's Resolve on Mideast Facing a History of Blunt Reality
Infuriated by pressure from Washington, Israel's prime minister summoned the American ambassador.
"You have no moral right to preach to us," he lectured the envoy."What kind of talk is this, 'punishing Israel'? Are we a vassal state of yours? Are we a banana republic?"
That scolding was 28 years ago, but it echoes as a cautionary tale.
Today, President Obama is pushing a reluctant Israeli government to halt the growth of Jewish settlements and embrace the goal of a Palestinian state. In the 1981 showdown, Prime Minister Menachem Begin held his ground after the Reagan administration suspended a strategic cooperation pact to protest Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights. The territory, captured from Syria in 1967, remains in Israel's hands.

I've been focusing lately on ukulele based songs partly because I love the compactness of the instrument and also because it has a much different character than the guitar. Who am I kidding? I love gigging with it because I'm lazy and it's small. I'm developing songs right now that I can perform live using only the ukulele, a loop pedal and a few effects pedals. I'm getting some pretty good layers with this relatively minimal setup, using a newly added octave pedal to create some new textures. I'll have the results of my labor up on the site soon.

Author Daniel Marcus Satirizes Life in the USSR
Daniel Marcus offers a humorous look at the life of a fictional Soviet era artist in his book, "Selected Episodes Relating to the Life of Vladimir Daniilovich Myukis, Deceased."
The book recounts the fictional life of Vladimir Daniilovich Myukis, a KGB artist in the USSR who later ends up working the counter at a Brooklyn delicatessen on the Coney Island boardwalk. Through Myukis' experiences, Marcus satirizes the work of various artists and institutions in these countries as well as everyday life in the late 20th century.
Marcus created Myukis when a trip to a well-known museum left him doubting the legitimacy of much contemporary art.
"Some of the art I saw at this museum was ridiculous," says Marcus, a retired commercial photographer. "Most wouldn't even pass as a good wall hanging. I created my fictional character to voice my displeasure and opinions in a way that folks can enjoy."
"Selected Episodes Relating to the Life of Vladimir Daniilovich Myukis, Deceased," relates several, random episodes from Myukis' life. Accompanying the various episodes are 25 original illustrations, which are attributed to Myukis. Marcus aims to give readers a dynamic book that takes a critical eye and humorous tongue to individuals and institutions in the U.S. and USSR.
Marcus arranged the episodes randomly rather than linearly in order to mirror the randomness of much life, where chance coincidences often lead to unexpected events. That's not the only place, he says, where the book draws parallels with reality.
"Although the characters and story are fictional, they are in reality, real," Marcus says. "Myukis and my readers experience similar things, such as how a seemingly trivial life event can lead to major changes, how various characters impact your life, and other universal problems. Within satire there is truth."

A new version is the result of two years of development by best experts in digital audio. RMAA raises the bar of comfort and functionality for spectrum analyzers.
That's why it is a program of choice for enthusiasts, professionals, and audio magazines around the world; and some manufacturers are developing new devices with the mandatory testing of their quality in RMAA. In short, the program at the moment is a de-facto standard providing quick and easy measurement of technical parameters, without the need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on specialized measurement systems.
The RMAA suite, designed for testing quality of analog and digital paths of any audio devices, was updated to version 6.1.1.
What's new in RMAA 6.1.1:
- Completed the first stage of Intel IPP DSP library implementation (commercial license, multi-core and SSE/SSE2/SSE3 performance optimizations);
- Fixed possible inaccuracy in ASIO noise level test (RMAA PRO).

Touring Washington D.C. can get tiring very quickly, whether because of trying to cover its expansive acreage on foot or in a bus crowded with an exorbitant amount of passengers. ELD Touring Enterprises opts for a less weary mode of transportation, as guides chauffeur groups of six people around the city in minivans and SUVs. This makes each tour private or semi-private, giving sightseers more intimate access to the destinations they're exploring. Longer daytime tours hit many of the major destinations, including Arlington Cemetery and the White House, while evening tours are reserved for those landmarks that are dramatically lit at night, such as the Lincoln Memorial or Teddy Roosevelt's hot tub. Groups can also opt for themed tours, such as an African-American history tour, or work with ELD guides to come up with a custom route.

THEARC is home to the only community theater in its area, which hosts the I Can summer program, an internship that teaches area young people ages 14–24 about technical-theater management. The eight-week paid internship will invite 10 new interns beginning this June for an introduction to the creative and practical skills required to produce and design plays. Interns also receive training in life skills such as resume writing, setting long-term goals, public speaking, and financial literacy. I Can aims to empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with the skills they need to achieve academic and career success. THEARC relies on the help of donations to provide each intern with the basic supplies they need to participate in the program.
With a rink defined by bright, citrus-colored walls and carnival-inspired artwork, Temple Hills Skating Palace isn?t shy about showing off its many forms of onsite amusement. The center?s main attraction is the glossy skating-rink floor, where guests can sharpen their skills during public skate or spend time with peers in specialized skating sessions for teens or adults. Most nights, the resident DJs soundtrack the skating experience with hip-hop and R & B jams, though they?ve also been know to spin gospel, top 40, and classic oldies tracks for special occasions?including the time that Billy finally asked Suzie to share a couples skate even though she was way out of his league as a fourth-grade honor student who also skipped kindergarten.
Temple Hills Skating Palace also offers more than just skating. Outside the bounds of the rink, the onsite arcade lights up the space with driving-simulation games, classic joystick units, and free-throw-inspired Pop-A-Shot machines. The more guests play, the more tickets and prizes they can earn; the more prizes that they win, the more likely they are to celebrate with a quick bite at the snack bar or a quick phone call to the friends who doubted their Whac-A-Mole prowess.
No Excuse Workout is a full-service health and fitness club that provides a motivating and friendly gym atmosphere, as well as up-to-date equipment and classes. At this functional space, gym-goers can run on treadmills, climb up Stair Masters, and lift free weights before punching away stress at the onsite boxing ring. Five personal trainers help clients get customized and tangible results, and there's plenty of free group classes taught in the studio. The teachers help students dance away calories in upbeat Zumba classes, or try circuit training or yoga—there's even a belly dancing class. The gym further demonstrates its ability to accommodate diverse guests with a relaxing onsite sauna, plenty of resistance-training equipment and tanning beds, and a pro shop. Here, patrons can buy exercise equipment and nutritional supplements—which, if bought in large enough quantities, can be lifted just like dumbbells for strength training.

Dick Harmon: Free agent deal with Clippers keeps Brandon Davies' NBA dreams alive
Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
BYU center Brandon Davies wasn't selected in last week's NBA draft, but a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Clippers will keep the former Provo High star's dreams alive.
According to Sean Deveney of the Sporting News, Davies signed a partially guaranteed one-year contract with the Clippers over the weekend. The Clippers have been the center of several free agent rumors, including dealing away Eric Bledsoe.
Although Bledsoe is a wing player, Davies has a chance to find a spot because of the Clippers' player shuffles.
Pre-draft chatter had the 6-9, 235-pound Davies a candidate to go in the second round of the league's draft.
Davies averaged 17.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and nearly one block per game during his senior season as a captain for the Cougars.
The fact Davies gets a chance in the NBA pleases BYU's coaching staff, which watched him earn All-WCC honors this past season.
"We are really excited. We watched the drafting, wanting the best for him, and we're thrilled he got the opportunity with the Clippers because they have a lot of roster needs," said BYU assistant coach Tim LaComb.
The Clippers have until July 10 to get under the salary cap. That is the date the league's trade moratorium ends and management needs to trade and add new players like Davies.
Said LaComb: "He still needs to make the team, but there are parts of his contract that are very favorable and show they have an interest in him. This is very good for Brandon. He's got to have a good summer, but we're happy and proud of him and excited for him to have this to take advantage of. He is in great shape right now and we want the best for him."
After his senior season, Davies turned a lot of heads when he participated in the Portsmouth Invitational, a premier showcase for outgoing college players. Davies earned MVP honors and some NBA scouts commented publicly that his performance may have put him in the second round of the draft.
Davies can still make the Clippers' roster if he proves he can build on the momentum from Portsmouth, even though that flurry of effort failed to get him on anybody's draft board last Thursday.
The Clipper roster from this past season included post players Lamar Odom, DeAndre Jordan, DaJuan Summers and Ronny Turiaf and forwards Matt Barnes, Reggie Bullock and Caron Butler.

Exploring a Filipino Fish Market
Editor's note: This is fifth and final part in a series of dispatches from the Philippines.
After meeting with Marybeth in Lanuza, our crew headed back to Butuan City, where we split up – Paul to Manila on his way back to the UK, and Fel, Lito and myself to Cebu. Fel, a pride program manager for Rare, was nice enough to stick around in Cebu with me for a day and take me to the wet and dried fish markets in the old part of the city, where we could see the flip side of overfishing in the Philippines.
Cebu, the oldest city in the country, is the site where Ferdinand Magellan landed in 1521. He converted a few hundred native people to Catholicism before being killed in a battle a few weeks later, but his legacy endures: the Philippines is quite possibly the most Catholic place I've ever been, and I've been to Rome. Every office building includes images of Christ and the Virgin Mary, and religion is woven into even the fashions of the young Filipinos, like the rhinestone cross earrings I saw on a young woman on our jeepney ride to the market.
The central market in Cebu encompasses several blocks of ramshackle stalls containing everything from bursting funeral flower arrangements to cages full of fighting roosters. Here's where you can buy one of the Philippines' famous street food delicacies: balut, or a fertilized duck egg hardboiled and eaten at three weeks' gestation, feathers and all. (I didn't have one. I earned my stripes the previous day by tasting several varietals of durian, a fruit so foul-smelling it's often banned from taxis and public buildings. "Smells like hell and tastes like heaven" is what they say, and while the smell was pretty revolting, the fruit itself wasn't half-bad. Our van smelled like roadkill for the next two hours, though, so the value of this experience was questionable.)

Baby and Beyond
for news, lol. No seriously (and with much joy) congrats and WTTW Oliver. He's adorbale.
Tiff + Bobby 8/22/04
Logan 3/3/07
Rya 7/7/09
Willow 5/26/11
I've got a happy sleeping baby and no visitors, so we'll see if I can get this typed up. Long and detailed. Sorry.
At 3:24am on 4/25 I got up to pee and felt a gush. I knew immediately my water had broken, but had trouble believing it at first since I hadn't expected labor to start for a while yet. Fortunately there wasn't much mess and it was pink. I got my computer to look up the labor # for my MW. I heard DH get up, so told him and sent him back to bed. I informed my MW and by 4am I started contracting. They were immediately 8-10 minutes apart and felt like labor. I ate lightly and went back to bed, figuring I should rest while I could. But, the contractions and a very excited baby kept me from sleeping. Around 7 the contractions began to space out. They went to 20 minutes apart then stopped. I got up and bounced on the birth ball, went for a walk... nothing.
At 10 I went to the bathroom to pee and on the toilet felt sudden, intense pressure. I hadn't felt anything like that with my other until I was almost fully dilated. I almost called DH to come in, thinking it might be the baby suddenly and inexplicably descending. It started to let up so I went downstairs and called the MW. They had me come in because it was weird. They confirmed my water was broken and since the midwives were switching shifts 2 of them checked me. The first said 2-3cm, 80% and 0 station. The second said 2cm, 50%, and -1 station. They monitored for a bit. Baby was fine but I only contracted a few times far apart. So they sent me home with a few suggestions for getting labor going and instructions to come back by 9pm. I had lunch, napped, and still nothing.
I started to get really anxious at the idea of having to go back and get induced. It was starting to feel way too much like my labor with DS1 (which was less than ideal). I started telling DH I wanted to go in now and just get the induction done because my body wasn't doing anything and I was just going to get more tired. I was already exhausted from fighting the nasty cold and not sleeping much the previous night. He managed to calm me down and talk me out of it. Then I decided to try the nipple stim the MW had recommended. It worked and I was soon having contractions 4-5min apart. Around 4pm we went back to the hosp.
The contractions fizzled out again and I was stuck in triage for a while because they didn't have any rooms free. But, at least they kept feeding me. I even got solid food! They finally got me to L&D and I did more nipple stim (the nurse was skeptical but the MW was all for it). The first round got the contrax to 5-6min and the second got then to 3 min apart. But they quickly spaced and became sporadic. At this point I hadn't been checked since around noon and had managed 2-3 hours of relatively frequent contractions. The MW checked and I was 3cm and 60%. We were all pretty disappointed. She reluctantly suggested we slowly start some pitocin. Knowing I had reacted strongly in the past and wanted to avoid an epidural she planned at start at 1 unit and stay there for 30-40 minutes before increasing to 2. She hoped my body just needed a little nudge. I agreed, hoping the same.
They started the pit and the contractions got more intense. But they were really sporadic at 1-8 minutes apart. At 8:30 I was in pretty intense pain during contractions. They began to feel like the transition contractions with DS2. I was having coughing fits and was terribly congested. The combination made it really hard to breathe through the contractions and at times I felt like I wasn't getting enough air, which made me feel anxious. I started falling asleep between contractions. I asked for the MW back to check me. Again, we were all disappointed that I was only 4cm and 80%. I brought up the idea of pain medicine because I I barely had the energy to deal with the contractions I was getting. The MW mentioned that I had said in my birth plan I wanted to avoid meds but if I did decide to go that way she'd recommend the epidural. She told us to discuss it and left. As he had been instructed, DH tried to talk me out of it. After a long discussion we decided it was probably best. I was already hooked up to the IV and the monitors because of the pit, so my coping was somewhat limited. When the MW came back in she agreed and said it might help me progress since I was clearly exhausted and very tense.
The epidural was started around 9:30pm. The anesthesiologist was awesome. He had just the right balance of business and humor. It was such a relief to lie down. I reacted perfectly to the epidural. I didn't even get any nausea, just pain relief. In fact, I got hungry again and got to enjoy some jello. I rested as much as possible between interruptions, but the coughing and congestion made it impossible to really sleep. DH was given a cot and napped.
At 12:05 am the MW checked me. complete and +1. Whew. They got the room ready, woke DH (took a couple tries) and made sure they had everything ready for the cord blood donation. The nurse lifted the sheet to remove my catheter and exclaimed "Wow, there's a head!" Baby was crowning from the contractions alone! The MW scrambled into her gown and gloves and the pushing started. I think it was 20min or so. Maybe 5 contractions. They tried to stretch me but I ended up tearing. Oliver was born 12:50am, 21.5 hours after my water broke. He cried immediately and went right on my chest. Apgars were 8 and 9 and he nursed at 20min old. He nursed 90 min in his first 2 hours.
The MW started repairing me then said that it looked like 3rd degree so she was going to get the Ob to do it. He came in and thought 2nd, but did the repair. I tore front and back (only tore back with the others) and have a hematoma (think blood blister) on one side. At 3am I got moved to PP and sent LO to the nursery for a few hours. They finally let me sleep at 4am. Oliver slept 3am to 9am, but they had me up again at 7:30.
He's doing great. Nursing well. Went to the nursery last night because I had only slept 4 hours in the 40+ hours since my water had broken. I got two 4 hour stretches last night. He's pooping well, peeing some, nice and pink, and very sweet. Unfortunately, the coughing has given me costochondritis (swollen rib cartilage) so my ribs are in a ton on pain. I accepted the offered percocet for that and the afterpains. Hopefully it clears up quickly.

Congrats again! I love the pics. He already has such an expressive face! Sorry the birth was not ideal. I hope your recovery goes well despite all the tearing and whatnot. Yay for another good nurser!

sounds like you went through quite a journey, but with a happy ending. Too bad your body just didn't want to cooperate with you. Congrats on your little man though, Oliver looks like a sweetie.

I need to admit that it's hard to say on a board like this that I agreed to pit and asked for an epi. It kind of makes me feel like a failure even though I know my reasons and know that in my situation it was the best choice. I was feeling pretty good about the experience yesterday, but today I'm kind of disappointed I gave in. I guess I've already forgotten how exhausted I was.
I guess what I need to say is that I have a lot of respect for those of you who could have stuck it out in my situation and I wish I had your strength.

Are you kidding? There is no way I want an epi as I know it will lead to pit, but if I'd been going as long as you I'd have done it in a heart beat. You can't have a baby when you're exhausted and if your body won't go sometimes help is needed and warranted. It's hard to remember why you did what you did the farther you get away from the experience, but remember there were good reasons. And if you can't remember, hopefully DH can remind you.

Nov 20, 2012For real, give this game a chance. if you go in with the mindset of playing this like super smash, then you will only lose every match. This game plays different and is different. The combat system is slick and very fluid. The roster is great, though it leaves a bit more to be desired. In all you will be getting a game that has many unlockables, is a great bang for your money, and is very polished. Get this game.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Amazing game, if you read the negative reviews you'll see how ridiculous they are. I wasn't expecting much of this game but believe me, it surprises you, by the way it has a story mode and lots of unlockables. Don't let trolls fool you.
Nov 20, 2012do not listen to this silly nintendo fanboy in disgiuse, his name is sonyfanboy92, he is full of lies and no good reason, heres my review. the strory is good it has funny and comedic rivalries and overall is a good singleplayer mode. next let me start off with the unlockables that are just amazng and will keep gamers coming back for more. i wont go into details becase some the unlockable are just too awesome. I woud also like to talk about online and offline mutlplayer, now the multplayer is where the game really shines i would even say it beats smash bros its just that amzing with 20 charactrs and 2 dlc characters that are free , i know this game is gonna be a success so if you want a fun brawler by all means go out and get this game, this game is a 10/10… Expand
Nov 20, 2012For a blatant smash bros clone, i wasn't expecting much, but after e3, tgs, and other previews i was actually pretty excited, and i thought it would be on par with melee, at least. However, the balance feels not that great, with especially Kratos feeling very op, and the physics feel very floaty and unbalanced. Also, i do not like the only supers KO thing, which again, makes it lack balance. Single player is too short.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Well I'm a Sony fanboy since my childhood and I just can't hate on this game. Some would say that I'm leniant but in the end is it really that bad? No. It's a very fun game. Flawed with several issues but really entertaining especially with friends. It's not a Smash Bros. clone at all. Similar of course but it differs really much in the core and it has a lot of ambition within its innovations. It eventually fails to live up to our expectations but oh well as long as you have fun with it you are just fine. Add some personal favs with a bunch of great characters and you get a really good game after all.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012i know im gonna get smashed. i think this game is better than SSB with more mature characters and a lot of unlockebls you'll be playing this game non stop if you can get through the fanboy CRAP!!!.
Nov 20, 2012very fun and addicting, this is no Smash Brothers clone at all. anyone who loves party brawlers and loves the Playstation Franchise should not miss the chance to pick this up
Nov 20, 2012For readers, ignore the terrible reviews by the fanboys who cried for Spyro or Crash, or just the ones claiming this game is a clone of SSBB when it's not. All-Stars Battle Royale is unique in it's own way with it's combat system and it's mix of games to form one stage. All 20 (and DLC) characters have bonus costumes (not switched color palettes like SSBB) and each one has their own minions, challenge modes, and story mode. The story for each character is short but there's nothing wrong with that, it's a fighting game, since when did fighting games focus on story? All-Stars Battle Royale truly shines on online when you're competing against others. The game can be a bit unfair and some characters are a bit over powered but there's nothing a good ol' patch can't fix. People who love brawlers should pick this up, or if you're a Sony fanboy and you just want to watch your favorite Sony characters fight to the death then go on ahead and get it. All-Stars Battle Royale is worth the money and time since it truly can compete with other brawlers. And to the Nintendo fanboys bashing this game, news flash, the Super Smash Bros. series isn't the first brawler, the game itself is a clone of classic fighting games. All-Stars Battle Royale just branched off the idea and made itself unique.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Why do people feel the need to sabotage the user review system? Just because you do not like certain aspects of the game, it does not mean the game deserves a 0. Similarly, I'm sure you may think the game is good, but that does not automatically make it worthy of a 10. You're all taking away from the credibility of the score.
Anyway, I've been enjoying the game thoroughly so far. While at first I assumed you could just button mash your way to victory, I couldn't have been more wrong. The more you experiment with the game, the more you discover of the gameplay mechanics. There really is a hidden depth to it all.
I do agree that the menus are a little bland, but I don't plan on spending a huge amount of time here, and they are very easy to navigate so I can't complain too much here. It is also a shame that there aren't all that many game modes, but I would likely be focusing most of my time on the multiplayer free for all and team deathmatch anyway, and I'm glad to say these are an absolute blast! Great game, and I expect I'll be spending countless hours with it to come, so well worth the investment in my personal opinion.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012SO let me get this straight, will be fast: Smash Bros on Wii DVD = 40 characters, long story mode, no DLC crap. All Stars on Bluray Disc = only 20 characters, will sell the missing ones via DLC. $ONY just doesn't give a sh*t anymore...PLEASE don't support this rip-off. If CAPCOM did this Smash Bros clone, and made a small roster to sell DLC, you would have killed them. So WHY THE HELL would you support such a rip-off and distribute perfect 10's??? The '1' is for Nariko.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012At first I was a little hesitant to purchase this game, but after getting a few hours into the game I really enjoyed it! It was a definite surprise at first. It has a great cast of characters and that's probably what drew my attention. Fun single player mode (Nice whacky story with original voice actors!), tons of unlockable content, very enjoyable multiplayer mode and an overall decent game.
It's fun, easy and a lot of replay value. Also, a teaser for Raiden! (A taste of what's coming for his upcoming game)… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Man you can't help but feel sorry for these losers that try to make people believe that this game is a 0/10 lol they must think we're just dumb as them. Wait for the critics don't listen to the trolls just look at there other reviews 80% of them this is there first review so they're trolls other 20% are nintendo fanboys just look at how they rate nintendo games 10/10 and ps games 0/10 lol pathetic.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012LETS ALL HATE NINTENDO FANBOYS AND GIVE THIS GAME A 10 ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T EVEN PLAY IT OURSELF! LETS UPVOTE ALL THE 10's RATINGS BY SONY FANBOYS BECAUSE THATS NOT BAD AT ALL COMPARED TO NINTENDO FANS RATING A 1! You Sony Zombies are not a bit better than Nintendo zombies by rating this game a 10 and upvote all the 10. I hate the internet, seriously.
Nov 20, 2012Every bit as good as we were hoping it would be. All Stars truly does step out of the shadows of SSB and become a game totally it's own. The specials system is excellent, and the combat is incredibly deep. Anyone who says you can just mash buttons to victory clearly has not been playing against anyone but easy bots and no one online. The variety of modes is excellent and there's more content than you'll ever have time for. It's the ultimate local multiplayer game as well, I got 3 of my friends to come over on launch day and we played for hours never running out of things to do. It's simply a joy to play. The characters all feel unique and play drastically different, and there are no reskins like in SSB. Each character has a larger moves list than in Smash Bros which ends up letting you create a play style totally unique to you. I'm loving this game and I think it's probably my GotY for fighting games.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012its one of the best brawlers of all time. i love the minions charecters the online the characters sly cooper specially he feels great and superbot have relay captured the essence of these charecters
Nov 20, 2012I own probably half of this game's cast in my PS3 collection, but that doesn't that make this game fun to play. Once you get knocked around, you can get beat up without recovering; very different from how Brawl allows characters to roll back when they hit floor. Every character has 30 moves, but the only one you'll feel like using is the extreme long range so you can hard knockdown and beat up the other guy when they can't move. Matches of camping and over-powered fighters ruin the balance of this game. Once you get knocked down, the other players will already have an advantage over you. It's a pain in the d!ck.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012Good:
+Level design +The final boss
-Only 20 characters? Are you kidding me?
-No Crash Bandicoot
-No Spyro
-Gay Dante? (from DmC)
-Graphics is just horrible
-Gameplay system is too complicated
-Horrifying soundtrack
-Slow paced
Nov 20, 2012I absolutely loved playing as nathan drake fighting sly cooper. The design is close to supersmash but it is still a great game none the less. You must buy dis game
Nov 20, 2012People who haven't played this game brush it off as a Smash clone, which obviously it is influenced a lot by Smash, but in reality is a lot more that merely a clone. Gameplay and overall strategy is very different from Smash, and is possibly even deeper and more competitive. Is it a better game than Smash Brothers Brawl? No. Is it a good game? For sure.
Nov 20, 2012After playing this game, it should be in the range of a 8.0 to 9.5 for most people who play it (I put 10 to help counter the rampant Nintendo fanboys that hit hard here). I'd highly suggest giving the game a chance. Most people I know find it incredibly fun, including myself.
Nov 20, 2012Cons:Story mode is awful Roster is pretty bad Not many game modes A lot of really cheap characters
Plus:Multiplayer is just fun really its mindless fun Online plays well not much lag Lots of achieveables Free DLC Vita version included with the ps3 version
Nov 20, 2012Its hard to give score for fun game, which could be so much better.
+ Fighting system is fun and unique
- Poorly done story mode
- Poorly done customisation
- Lack of some most iconic characters
- Missing online modes.
- Need more stages
Nov 23, 2012Copy/paste from my VITA review, with minor edits: Very solid game, in fact the game I'm enjoying the most right now. I should first admit I didn't expect anything out of it. I wasn't even a Smash Bros fan to begin with (even if I played the hell of the "Subspace Emissary" mode, back in the day). I found something really 'fresh' in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, not sure how to explain. The stages are beautiful, clever and inventive, the characters have a LOT of moves, and it's a totally different experience than Smash Bros if you go past the interface and look of things. For starters, it's not about throwing your opponents off a stage, but try to stack as much kills as possible before the timer runs out. I haven't been frustrated a single time. This game is just plain fun, in fact I can't even think of a single annoying thing. I really didn't expect a lot of it, and ended up being surprised because I expected a Smash Bros clone, but found something totally original and fun. PS: you get the VITA version for 'free' with this, what an awesome deal - I can't believe the VITA version actually runs & feels as good as the PS3 version. SuperBot outdone themselves on this one...… Expand
Nov 20, 2012I would give it a 9, but I see everybody else pushing those 1's pretty hard for no reason. The game is a great franchise fighter for Sony, people who are hating on it cause they have no life and hate that Sony their own fighter now, and it's not a rip off of SSB.
Nov 23, 2012Big fan of the Super Smash series but this one requires more thinking in setups/mixups. I found it more enjoyable and would love to see this series continue with a better Story/Arcade and more characters. Other then that this game is a blast to play!!!
Nov 20, 2012Two words: Mind. Blown. Wow, I must admit, my expectations and excitement for this game was very low throughout the year. I saw footage, wasn't blown away. Heard the character roster, wasn't blown away. Then, I played the beta. Only four characters, but I still started to get a feel for the game and what exactly Superbot was trying to accomplish. It slowly started to make sense. Sounds weird I know, especially with a game that appears on the surface to be rather shallow. Build meter. Super. Rinse and repeat right? When you first pick up the sticks, understanding what exactly you're supposed to do may feel a little foreign if you haven't done this kind of thing before. But MY OH MY once sink your teeth into it, once you figure out the little nuances and the variations of playstyles depending on the character you pick (characters you're fighting against) AND the level you're fighting in (trust me, it matters) what you discover is a game of mighty depth. A game with gameplay so addictive I have not stop playing for one minute since last night at midnight. It's incredibly fun. Incredibly addictive. Incredibly nuanced. Superbot has pulled off the impossible. They actually made a GREAT FIGHTING GAME combined with a great social experience. Four on Four chaos is how this game was meant to be enjoyed. Even if it's just you, or you and a friend playing, add two AI characters into the mix because when it's four on four the fun factor quadruples to astronomical heights. Ok, whew, now back to the action. Oh, and thank you Superbot. Thank you.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012I don't get the extreme polarization between critics and their reviews sometimes. Usually when so many love a franchise and so many despise it, one group is full of it. Whether it's blind nostalgia people are holding onto, or maybe it's a feeling of having to defend their favorite franchise against over saturation or even a legitimate rival of the genre their game falls into, etc.... people for some reason feel the need to take their reviews scores to the extreme ends of the scoring spectrum to make their point. Hating on a game because it borrows another's game's base formula is immature; this has happened and will continue to happen forever with all popular genres. I've seen a few on here commenting on the PASBR's interface, or saying the fun factor just isn't there (which could be a more specific), are legitimate/more appropriate reasons or opinions to review a game badly, but giving it a zero is saying it's complete and utter garbage based off it it not being as good as something else, or call it a budget title just sounds like blind rage to me perpetrated by insecure fans of something else. I have a load of respect for the smash bother's games, as well as for all stars battle royale (after the beta, watching the loads of behind the scenes videos online, and playing this morning) a can say the quality and attention to detail, especially for the fans of either are great. I was very pleased with they've accomplished with these titles on both the Nintendo & PS consoles and hope one day, after xbox decides to jump on this successful band wagon with their awesome entry into this genre, that a cross over between all 3 happens. I haven't played through completely but SO far - (Awesome/Great/Good/OK/Bad) Character art: Awesome, Environment Art: between Great/Good, Gameplay: Great, Sound design/ Music: Good, Animations: Great/good, Packaging (U.I Interface): Good/OK, Fan service: Awesome.… Expand
Nov 20, 2012I love this game! I had a little expectation for it, but bought it and wow was i blown away, so much content too! Everybody has their own story or "arcade" mode like a normal fighter, it may look like smash at first but it is really different.
Nov 20, 2012Ok ok it's not a 10, but the very low scores are really trols. Easy to see because all those are telling it's not as good as SSBB. It's easy to tell if these are trolls because if they would have played the demo they would already have seen the gameplay is different, the graphics are 10000% better and if they are really enjoying SSB, they should enjoy this game because it's better then SSB. The only bad thing is that there are not as much characters (but be honest, which characters did you all played at SSBB, for certain you concentrated on only one and not all) and not much stages. But for the rest it's really a much better game. This doesn't mean that SSBB is a lot of fun, but why troll when you haven't really played the game or when you are offended that there is a game which is a bit like SSBB!! All games are inspired by other games and also SSBB.… Expand
Nov 22, 2012Don't judge a book by it's cover. That's the mindset that anyone should have when playing PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. The comparisons to Super Smash Bros are obvious but All-Stars is a completely different game. A great selection of characters, deep combat system, awesome stages and great graphics on top. Sup-Par presentation and somewhat a lack of game modes aren't enough to bring down an otherwise fantastic game. Definitely a must have game for any PlayStation or fighting game fan.… Expand
Mar 15, 2013Playstation All-Stars battle Royale: Not the all-star moment everyone was hoping for, Playstation All-Stars battle Royale is instead a decent enough fighter with serious balance problems and a boring cast. [March 2013]
Mar 6, 2013It adds that element of strategizing, especially in online play, where a player can knock out all three of their opponents in fell swoop. Plus, much to my amazement, a character I had no experience using won me my first online match – thank you, Jak.
