I worked at Rocky Mountain Chocolate
You get to eat all the chocolate you want! As a franchise I had a great amount of influence on all aspects of our store.
Most locations are franchises, and therfore you are at the beck and call of your owner. I have worked for two RMCF stores and the ownership made the difference. At my last position in Denver I was overworked, underpaid and underappreciated!
As a Company RMCF has little intervention at the store level, I would advise them to have a training seminar for their owners in order to provide them a brief glimpse as to what their responsibilities will entail.

AMD To Support Coreboot On All Future CPUs
Published on 09 May 2011 08:34 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
66 Comments
Here's one non-UDS announcement hitting the web right now that's also very significant for open-source and Linux: Advanced Micro Devices has announced today they will support Coreboot on all future processors.
Coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS, is an open-source Linux-based BIOS implementation. AMD has long been a supporter of the Coreboot project with
releasing code for Coreboot
supporting documentation
in their products: both chipsets and servers.
this blog post
, it says "AMD is now committed to support coreboot for all future products on the roadmap starting next with support for the upcoming "Llano" APU. AMD has come to realize that coreboot is useful in a myriad of applications and markets, even beyond what was originally considered. Consequently, AMD plans to continue building its support of coreboot in both features and roadmap for the foreseeable future. Couple that with the efforts of such partners as Sage Electronics who has developed a sophisticated IDE system and engagements with leading RTOS partners in the industry, AMD is greatly enhancing its story in the deeply embedded market."
Hopefully in the not too distant future this will mean Coreboot becomes a viable BIOS alternative and perhaps we'll even see some hardware vendors shipping Coreboot-based products.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Fans keep love alive for 'Walking Dead' star
LOS ANGELES (AP) - From week to week fans simply never know which characters will survive the relentless zombie attacks on AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead."
That unpredictability keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and the shows' stars in a constant state of alertness.
"You see series and they last a long time and sometimes the writing gets lazy or the acting gets lazy. Because we're in a zombie apocalypse and anyone can go at any time, it sort of keeps us fresh and on our toes," Norman Reedus told The Associated Press Friday.
Fans lined up around the block to watch a panel discussion with Reedus and his co-stars at Paleyfest, the annual Southern California TV celebration. Many in the crowd showed their support for Reedus' crossbow-wielding character, Daryl Dixon, with their "If Daryl dies we riot!" T-shirts.
The 44-year-old actor says his vocal fan base is responsible for his character's impressive longevity in a series that seems to have no qualms in axing its most popular characters.
"Hell yes. Oh my god, yes," he said. "(They're) keeping me on the show."
"The Walking Dead" focuses on a rag-tag band of surviving refugees, including unruly brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon, who were not part of the series' comic book origins.
"I want to be Daryl Dixon in my next life," joked co-star Laurie Holden. "He's sexy and he's got the rugged thing going on."
When asked about his breakout star status, Reedus becomes humble and tries to turn the spotlight on his Golden Globe-nominated cast.
"I watch them grow and I watch myself grow. It's one of those acting things where like I'll be in a scene with her or with him and I'll say should I try this? And they'll go `yeah' and I'll believe them and I'll trust them. Everyone wants everyone to just kill it," Reedus said with a laugh.

Content Marketing Your Boss Will Love
Content marketing doesn't just happen nor is it a silo off on the side of your business. Content marketing must be an integral part of your organization's corporate strategy, allocated appropriate resources, both human and financial, because it creates strategic corporate assets that in turn help build your revenue stream.
7 Content Marketing Gems Every Business Can Use
Content marketing's strategic role in an organization was the core message of Demand Gen Report's B2B Content2Conversion Conference in New York. While targeted at a B2B audience, the lessons of these B2B rockstar presenters apply to B2C and Not-For-Profit (NFP) organizations as well. Here are the top seven content marketing gems.
1. Keep content marketing in-house because it's a strategic function. Content marketing is on-going promise for the long term. Like social media, it's a commitment to your customers, not a one-time campaign. Content marketing must be seamless from marketing through sales. According to Aberdeen Group research, 65% of leading companies align their content marketing efforts well with their sales methodology compared with 41% of followers who don't.
2. Create your content marketing mission statement. According to Content Marketing Institute's Joe Pulizzi, author of Managing Content Marketing, your mission statement is your litmus test for developing content. Even more important, using a content marketing mission statement saves resources by ensuring your content creation is on track to yield results. A content marketing mission statement contains these three attributes.
- Who is your core audience? Develop a marketing persona to know your target market better and address your content to meet their needs and desires for information.
- What information will you deliver? Define the topics you plan to cover.
- What do you want your audience to do as a result of reading your content? Determine the outcomes you desire that help move prospects and customers along the purchase process.
3. See the world through your customers' eyes when you produce content. Ann Handley of Marketing Profs and co-author of Content Rules recommended. Consider the content that your prospects, customers and their networks would thank you for giving them. Remember, your story isn't about you but rather about the value you bring your target audience by fulfilling their wants and/or needs. Think in terms of supplying the resources that solve their problems.
4. Curate content to select the best, most relevant elements for your audience. Since most consumers are bombarded with too much content, Curata's Pawan Deshpande advocates supplementing your own content marketing with curation. As a content curator, marketers discover, organize and add commentary to other people's information focused on a specific topic. By doing so, marketers provide a valuable service for their target audience.
5. Optimize your content marketing. "Great content isn't really great until it gets found, consumed and shared." in the words of Lee Odden of Top Rank, author of Optimize.
- Attract. How does your audience discover new content?
- Engage. How do your prospects prefer to connect with you?
- Convert. How to you give your readers a reason to act at every step of the purchase process?
6. Build your content marketing department. Think like a publisher. The biggest difference is that journalists tend to be audience focused while MarCom departments tend to be corporate focused. Michael Brenner of SAP positioned the challenge this way: "How do we get people to stop doing things that aren't working and do the things that are working?" Among the resources needed are:
- Editor. Manage the content process.
- Editorial board. Provide corporate and management support.
- Brand journalist (or native content creators). Develop necessary content to meet audience's needs.
- Graphic artists. Enhance your content offering through the use of images including photographs to lure readers in.
- Copy editor. Edit the raw information into usable content.
7. Measure content marketing results to business goals. The Aberdeen Group's Trip Kucera cited that it took ten touches between the prospect's first action through his purchase. Therefore, use content to nurture prospects at each step of the sales process to convert prospects. Here are ten of the most salient metrics discussed to track your content marketing.
- Website conversion – The number of people who visit your website and take another action.
- Unique site traffic – the number of unique visitors who find their way to your content.
- Subscription rate – The percent of visitors who are interested in your content. This is often an early step in the sales process.
- Social sharing – What resonates on social networks (soft metric.)
- Shorter sales cycles – You want more sales faster, often with less cost.
- Increased order size or quantity –look for larger orders, more orders or both.
- More referrals – This means more people at the top of the sales funnel.
- Improved retention – Keeps existing customers buying, either more or different products from your organization.
- Lower marketing costs – Reduced marketing expenses due to redeploying and/or more efficient use of employees and budgets.
- Increased revenues and profits – Measure marketing's contribution to the bottom line.
Like gems, the best content marketing emerges from your business' raw information when it's cut into contextually relevant facets and polished into highly effective pieces that attract attention.
What other content marketing tactics would you recommend other marketers use and why?
Happy Marketing,
Heidi Cohen

Good value. Good location
wifi reception was sometimes wekk
Nice HD television. It had a refrigerator. It was reasonably quiet.
We got a nonsmoking room that wreaked of cigarette's. There was a condom wrapper behind one of the night stands.
breakfast offerings were dismal
Location the room
Complementary breakfast not so great needed either a waffle maker for waffles or some fresh pastries or prepackaged pastries to go along with the milk cold cereal and fruit
location, room is OK, WiFi, helpful staff
I liked that everything was clean and the fridge
The continental breakfast. You had nothing but cereal and toast. No sugar for coffee
the smelly room, dirty stairwells, dirty carpet, old TV, cheap shampoo and conditioner, cheap breakfast not worth eating.
They let us check in early. And the people were friendly. Good food next door.
People were loud nxt to us.
The location
Abut 8 construction men drinking beer and hanging out in parking lot. Out Of wash cloths and coffee in room. Went to office for coffee and had to wait for clerk to get off phone with her friend. Had to change rooms cuz construction guys were blasting their radio in their room but seating outside. All in Spanish. Did not feel safe at all
rooms looked nice, and the pricing not bad.
wifi, smell in room. Grounds and staff need improvement.
good location, easy access
smoke smell in non smoker room
For a place to just sleep and relax fair pricing because of bay area location. Service desk brought my credit card to room bc she forgot to give back and housekeeping fast on getting extra towels
Continental breakfast was a joke! A poor single mama could do better! No Danishes, muffins no jam for toast! No eggs offered as stated. Found old food wrapper and container in desk lamp drawer in morning ewwwe! Friend checked in earlier and requested room be re cleaned with extra sheets! And glad we didn't go swimming for being summer time the pool was filthy!! Rating should b about 4-5 not a 7!
Carpet dirty and stained, bathtub dirty, no cold water in shower - hot only (valve didn't work)
Staff cancelled my reservation online then when I arrived offered me higher rate.
Clean quiet close to where we had to go
Check in and check out was a mess the staff at check out were horrible the manager in a way let the girl yell at my sister in law while checking out horrible customer service and it was just a horrible end to a good stay.
It was a great stay. The pool was fun and a great room.
Liked it all
the air conditioner was a little noisy
The staff here was very nice and helpful.
1) Really bad wifi connection. 2) Daylight robbery in parking lot during our stay. 3) Birds swimming in pool. 4) Large dead rat in pool area. 5) Getting locked out of room numerous times because key did not work. 6) Skimpy breakfast and what they did have they'd often run out of. 7) They have a towel "check in and out" system. You can't just ask for fresh towels and swap out your dirty ones. They go wash the dirty ones and you get them back in the afternoon.
staff was helpful
The place smelled like smoke, the carpet was old and stained, everything was dated and dirty. It was not clean at all. Yuck. The price was way over priced for the low quality. I would not consider their breakfast to be a breakfast. Over all this hotel was worse than a Motel 6.
Welcoming service. Good with parking close to room
Rooms interior and doors starts to be old
- close to other towns & santa clara convention - enough space for parking - 맞은편의 한인타운이 있어 간편하게 먹을거리 살 수 있습니다.
- breakfast; really nothing to eat. - staff at service desk; not really helpful
Very comfortable stay, Parking facilities, Excellent location, Affordable and rates, Flexible check out and out timings and a very nice staff in particular@ front desk Julie
I could have stayed at a nice Hilton or Starwood Hotel for what I paid for this dump. $200 a night????? Really???? The grounds and exterior were so filthy and gross it gagged me. Big gobs of spit all over the stairs, disgusting low class people in their rooms with the doors open staring at you when you walk to your room. We are two women alone so it was very disturbing. Night receptionists were pleasant enough, the day receptionist pretended we didn't exist. The hvac unit was unplugged so I had to stand on the sink counter to plug it into the wall so we didn't freeze to death. The bathtub was so gross I waited to shower and wash my hair until we got to our next hotel because it was a Hilton and I knew it would be clean. Prices should be regulated. It's too bad that places like this will charge $200 for a room that should have been $59 or below just because everyone else in town is sold out and they can.
Great staff. Our room was roomy enough for 3 people.
The grounds needed some cleanup, including the pool. The whole place seemed a bit drab. The bed was not comfortable, the bedding skimpy, and there was not much ventilation. The window was open when we arrived, but screen was torn. There were 3 of us, but only towels for 2.

Free Seminars: Community Bank Offers "Welcome Home Heroes" Financing Package
Two free seminars about the "Welcome Home Heroes" financing package will take place on Thursday, February 29. These seminars are for veterans and active military personnel who are interested in taking advantage of the "Welcome Home Heroes" financing package offered at Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest through the Illinois Housing Development Authority. The first seminar is from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., and the second seminar is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Each seminar is open to the public, and guests are invited to attend which ever seminar fits their schedule. The seminars will be held at the offices of Operation Uplift, 104 South 5th Avenue, Maywood, IL. Guests can register by calling (708) 660-7031, or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest is a proud provider of the Illinois Housing Development Authority's "Welcome Home Heroes" mortgage financing package. The "Welcome Home Heroes" package focuses on providing financial assistance to all qualified first-time homebuyers who are reservists, military personnel and members of the Illinois National Guard. Veterans can also participate in this program, and they do not need to be first-time homebuyers in order to qualify.
Bernard D. Headley II, Community Lending Specialist for Community Bank, said "Community Bank's mission is to make homeownership a reality for veterans in Maywood and nearby communities, which is something we share with Operation Uplift. Their Passport to Learning project calls for providing referral resources for veterans, and Community Bank is honored to be a trusted partner." Qualified first-time home buyers looking to purchase a home, but who need additional funds to make the down payment and pay closing costs, can use the "Welcome Home Heroes" package to obtain a grant towards making a down payment. Those military families needing down payment and closing cost assistance can apply for home financing at Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest, and need to meet the Bank's credit underwriting standards.
The "Welcome Home Heroes" financing package applies to 1-2 unit residential properties located in Illinois that are purchased as a primary residence. Community Bank will apply for the grant on behalf of the borrower, as borrowers cannot apply for the grant directly. Borrowers must also receive home ownership education to help ensure that they understand the home buying process as well as the financial responsibilities of home ownership. Bernard D. Headley II said, "Military families deserve our thanks and gratitude for their service. This program invests in their future, and will help many military families throughout Maywood and nearby areas achieve their dream of home ownership."
In addition to veteran assistance, Community Bank offers options for non-veterans with the IHDA SmartMove program, which provides down payment assistance for qualified borrowers. For questions and further details about the "Welcome Home Heroes" package or the SmartMove program, call Bernard at (708) 660-7049, or email him at email@example.com.
Community Bank has been a frequent facilitator of financial literacy events, and during its fifteen year history, Community Bank has donated over $2 million to various local civic and charitable organizations. Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest was organized in 1996 as a locally owned bank focused on creating financial solutions for individuals, professionals, owners of closely-held businesses and nonprofit organizations. Community Bank, which had assets of $351 million as of December 31, 2010, has two locations: 1001 Lake Street, Oak Park and 7777 Lake Street, River Forest. Member FDIC | Equal Housing Lender

Dear Soaps,I read your column regularly and I am surprised that more mentions aren't made about the best soap ever, The Edge of Night. I would love to see a mystery soap like that return to TV. Are they planning on airing this show on SoapNet? It was an ABC show. What were the teenagers names on the show (I think her name was Jody and he was a drama teacher) and was the show cancelled for poor ratings or did they just want to open the time slot from 1/2 hour to 1 hour for local programming? — Bstone
Dear Bstone,
Who could forget the intricate mysteries and the savvy crime fighters featured on daytime's only crime melodrama, The Edge of Night. Born from the mind of Perry Mason writer Irving Vendig, The Edge of Night strayed from the traditional soap format, presenting year-long mysteries that were solved by several core characters and a revolving door of secondary characters in each new story. Live shoot-outs and old-fashioned love affairs attracted an audience of action-seekers as well as romantics. The show actually ran on CBS in the late afternoon, where it picked up a hearty number of male viewers. When CBS moved the show to an earlier time slot in 1972, it lost a chunk of its core male audience and ratings plummeted. The network canceled the program in 1975, but it was picked up by ABC days later, and ran for another decade. Unfortunately, less than half of ABC affiliates carried the show, and it met its final demise in December 1984. As for young characters, there were many, but I think you're recalling a young Lori Loughlin who played teenage dancer Jody Travis. She was involved with Gavin Wylie (Mark Arnold), the mild-mannered dance instructor at The Wylie Dance Studio, which became the setting for many of Edge of Night's crime scenes in the early 80s. For the moment, SoapNet does not have the show in its lineup, but just like the soap world, anything's possible. (DD)

Shashi Kusuma, M.D.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon Fort Lauderdale and MiamiFrom a very early age, Dr. Kusuma was interested in the human form and function. This interest combined with his love of art and medicine led him to pursue his undergraduate studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. There, he earned a Bachelor's degree in biology. In addition to his biology degree, he also attended the Gouizetta School of Business at Emory University where he earned a Bachelors of Business Administration (B.B.A) with honors.
After completion of his undergraduate studies he matriculated at the Medical college of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia. There he excelled in medicine and graduated with an M.D. degree at the top of his class with the prestigious AOA honor society. He then completed two years in General Surgery, including his internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. He subsequently completed Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at the same institution.
He was board certified in the field in 2005 by the American Board of Otolaryngology, an accredited board by the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties). He then pursued additional training for two years in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Foundation, in Cleveland, Ohio. He completed his plastic and reconstructive training in 2006.
He was board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, an accredited board by ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) in 2007. He served as a Staff Surgeon in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation for the subsequent 4 years. Currently, he continually strives to establish a center of plastic surgery excellence in South Florida.
Join us for an informative seminar on Thursday November 20th from 6:00-8:00 PM.
We will provide food, spirits and special raffles, as well as information about:
1. truSculpt:
An exciting, new fat elimination treatment.
Suria Plastic Surgery is among the first South Florida practices to offer truSculpt, a non-invasive technology to deliver customized treatments to the abdomen, hips and thighs, as well as the buttocks, upper arms, back, neck and other stubborn areas.
truSculpt is a non-surgical procedure to give permanent results. Using radio frequencies, we provide deep-heat tissue over large areas of the body. The raised temperature targets areas of fat, and slowly creates fat cell death. Patients can quickly see permanent results in their appearance, such as smaller mass, tighter skin and less dimpling. truSculpt can be used on any area where fat deposits can accumulate, including the arms, buttocks, thighs, love handles, back, bra wings, or abdomen.
In November, purchase a package of 3 treatments and receive a 4th complimentary treatment.
2. ThermiTight:
An ideal solution for addressing loose skin on the lower face, arms, neck, and tummy.
Suria Plastic Surgery introduces ThermiTight™, an FDA-approved treatment used to help reverse the signs of aging. We will provide additional information about ThermiTight at our special event.
Event Special: Purchase a ThermiTight treatment at our November 20th event and receive 25% off.
Call our office to learn more or to reserve your spot for the November 20th Seminar.

obviously not a budget one, more like business travelers. Stuff was very

location was fantastic, right next to the amazing botanical gardens yet only a couple of tram stops to the city centre on the very central st kilda road. taxis were also abundant on this main road. the 2 bedroom apartments are very spacious and modern with 2 bathrooms and plenty of room for 4-5 guests. try and request an apartment on the 11th floor or above for fantastic views over the botanical gardens. we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come back. - Anonymous
Very clean &comfortable, all mod cons, very obliging staff. - Anonymous
Got upgraded to a two bedroom apartment which was fantastic. Awesome view! Had everything we needed. - Anonymous
The location is great, very close to most of the shopping malls. The room is clean, with all necessary facilities. The hotel is surrounded by cafes and restaurants, some of them are quite famous, which is amazing for a foodie like me. The staff in the hotel are really nice and helpful. They also allow customers to leave luggage for hrs after checkout. - Anonymous
Unbelievable value for money. Cannot believe we got such a great view of the Melbourne skyline with the amount charged. The sunsets and sunrises from such a height were mesmerizing. Everything was neat and clean, parking was a plus. Overall bloody awesome. I have already recommended to a few friends and family. - Anonymous

Very pleasant staff. Good clean rooms with a decent sized bathroom. Good facilities with a great area outside ( 3rd floor up ) to view the city and have a drink etc. I would highly recommend and would visit again - Anonymous
Good location, does what its says on the tin. Motel not a Hotel. Very very clean.
Great big spa bath, nice size bathroom and bedroom, we had the suite, it was a slightly more than a regular room and worth the extra.
Did not get the opportunity to use the pool, but we were disappointed that it was a lot smaller than it looked on the photographs. - Anonymous
Everything. Functional design, very clean, no motel smell, little touches like chocolates and individual soaps for each, wi fi internet and FoxTel, etc. One of the best motels we have stayed at. The little luxuries don't cost much, but make all the difference.The next cabin we stayed at for same price had old, worn and dirty and broken things and a tiny TV screen, advice to turn the lights off to save energy, and a warning that if we didn't leave it clean and tidy there would be a cleaning fee - Anonymous
The room was very spacious, with 1 Queen bed and 2 singles. Bathroom was quite big and very clean (newly refurbished). - Anonymous
We drove from Melbourne to Port Campbell to enjoy the beauty of the great ocean road. Port Campbell is a great place to stop overnight. The Portside Motel is woderful hotel to stay. It has a large car park and free wifi! The rooms were very clean and had cooking facilies. The staff was very friendly and recommended a very good restaurant with a few minutes warking distance for us for our dinner. - Anonymous

GameStop now features a listing for a silver DualShock 3 controller, with a MSRP of $54.99 and a June 24th release.
A retail listing is far from official confirmation, but GameStop has been a rather reliable source of early product listings. We're all for controller color diversity, so we're hoping this one is real.

Jun 23, 2011Dungeon Siege 3 is exactly what happens when marketing gets to much control. This game in no way resembles its predecessors.
Obsidian already had a game they wanted to make, Square, in their seemingly infinite distaste for the desire of their consumer, said use this IP we bought even though your game isn't anything like the previous incarnations of this game. Now some might say that could be a good thing, well it *could*, but it isn't They took pretty much everything that made Dungeon Siege fun tossed it out the window and replaced it with boring crap. Customizable non class restricted characters? Gone. Replaced with staid premade toons. Large group dynamic including a pack mule to help you cart all your phat lootz? Gone. You run with one other npc. Great multiplayer that gives the game years of replayability? Gone. Replaced with what they have decided to call "couch coop", but I refer to as **** ie: ALL multiplayer data is kept with the host. In other words there is no reason to ever play this game with someone else online. You can't even bring your own character to the fight if you aren't the host. Think fable's notorious henchmen multiplayer and you have it in a nut shell. These things might be over looked if the game was fun, interesting, and/or offered some replayability, but with a dull been there done that story, no new game plus, and butchered multiplayer Obsidian asks far too much @ 60 dollars. Rental. At best.… Expand
Oct 23, 2011While playing this I encountered a game breaking glitch so I'm not giving this a one because I'm some super negative gamer who hates everything, I'm giving it a one because it broke, which is sad because I was actually having a lot of fun with this before it broke, sure it had it's frustrating moments, random load times, and bad facial animations, but it was still a lot of fun and one I would have highly recommended, and I checked it out so I'm not the only one this has happened to, the only reason I'm not giving it a zero is because I am only one of the few that this has happened to, and I did have fun before it broke, it's just way to sad that it had to break.… Expand
Jun 21, 2011This game's suxx! How could they screw up oh-so simple loot-game formula oh-so bad in so many ways?! Lets count how many screw ups are there, shall we?
1 For a loot game there is no customization of your equipment, i mean if you pick Katarina is rifles and guns to the game's end. You can't pick up knife, sword or some kick ass hummer... NOOOO! it's guns and riffles all da way. That's suxx.
2 There's no option in developin' your character - you can't play the game with the same character choice and end up with two different chars in the end - you'll take all skills available eventually and they power ups is hardly notecable. it's the same with Passive skills. Level up is boring and that's suxx.
3 Fight's are boring! With Katarina i'ts pretty much just button mashing. THere were times, where i dont even see where tha hell i am shooting, and i didn't care either cause enemies were dyin'. There were times when i was thinking that game is just playin' with itself and doesen't need me and that's suxx.
4 There was no boss fight until the very end. There was bosses, but they hardly challengin' even on hardest settings available and they are just bigger versions of normal enemy or same as normal enemy with aura-like circles arround them. That's just lazy and unimaginative and that's suxx.
5 For a loot game you have no clue WTF the item does. There are lot of characteristics that i dont get. whats Doom, whats Momentum, whats Block, whats Warding? there's no help with this, there's no characterization.I still don't get it and i finished this POS. Having Characteristics unknown in a loot-game is suxx
6 Skills are pathetic and unconvenient. You'll have skills for each weapon. 3. Why not all 6 with all weapons? that's just buffles me. F.e. Katarina has skill - summon wolf, that she could do, only when she equips 2 guns. hmmm...whyyyyy? skill's themselves are pathetic. i finished the game with the same skill i have in the beginning and that's just sad... and suxx.
7 plot. It's stupid, i'ts unimaginative, it's flat, it's predictable... in a loot-game, whatever right? Right. F.e. who cared about plot in Torchlight, Diablo 2, Titan quest? No one. At least not me. Why is it an issue here? Because it's All. Over. The. PLACE. It's annoying! You can take two steps without someone startin' talkin' to you. It's EVERYWHERE and even if you skip it it's still ANNOYING! and suxx.
8 THey tryin' to rip off better games like ME and DAO. I'am huge bioware fan and for me thoose elements looked cheap, half-done, and bad executed. THey are tryin' to convince you, that choices you make will form a sequel's world. I don't buy it! There's going to be no sequel to THIS game. Pathetic ripoffs of better games is usually BAD idea and it's suxx!
9 Cut-scenes... 99 cents worth moving pictures. It's like a slap in the face! You can't get more cheaper than those! Remember how cool it's been with cut-scenes in Diablo2? There was even extra disc with only those! That was AWESOME. But not here. Not in this game. This game is suxx!
10 Voice acting suxx and make no mistake about it, which makes plot issues even more insufferable!
11 there is no world map in this one! WHY? Why would you do such a thing, obsidian? It's just suxx
12 Game length is only 6 hours! 6!!! I was readin' comments, where people say it was 12.. Are you retarded or something? I've completed ALL the quests, waste about an hour in ice dungeon, cause got i've got lost in the damned thing. Still it was 6 hours. Short-length games are suxx.
All in all it's just hard to recommend this game to anyone. At this price you can get torchlight, both Deathspanks and Titan quest and EACH OF THEM is far more enjoyable than this flick. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!… Expand
Jul 6, 2011It is not worth purchasing. It would have been decent had they managed to create a decent talent/skill system. The talent system is one of the worst I have seen in a RPG. You spend points on a set of 9 talent points and you aren't given any indication that those skills stack. Furthermore you can't really determine exactly how many points you allocated to a certain system because what is displayed is a bar.… Expand
Jul 22, 2012Dungeon siege 3 is a poor game. The voice acting was appalling and the baddie JAYNE KASINDER, are you having a **** laugh it sounds like a character out of neighbours. I tryed but didnt have the willpower to actually finish this game. Poor game all round and I would not recommend anyone go and buy this game.
Jun 22, 2011This is only a dungeon siege game by name. Repetitive combat, boring story and rigid game overall. Ds1 and 2 were great games. Ds3 is not fantastic, not great or good. Its plain boring, not worth your money! Its a shame the DS name is getting dragged through the mud. I will go and play dungeon siege 2 now and dream of DS4 hoping it will be great..
At the very base of this type of game, co-op is essential, in Dungeon Siege 3, there is no incentive or point to Co-Op, none at all, none of the players playing, including the game host, will benefit from hosting a co-op session, no experience or gold is carried over into the actual game, when its earned in co-op.
This game was sold to me through the power of marketing which hooked me on the idea that I could play though the entire story mode in co-op.
With no persistent character saves, a locked camera angle and a useless multi-player feature, the only thing left for me to do with this game was to take it back and trade it in, while it still held its value.… Collapse
Mar 3, 2012If you like linear dungeons, button mashing fights and a lack of imagination in a game, then Dungeon Siege III is just what you need to brighten up your day! Everything about this game is just too basic and belongs in the year 2000. Forget about variety, depending on the character you pick, you're stuck with the same type of weapon throughout the entire game. No switching from sword to magic, no experimenting with the skill tree and no exciting boss fights - just the same thing over and over again, until you grow so bored of this headache of a game that you take your rental copy back early because any more time spent on it will feel wasted. For your own sanity, do not play this game!… Expand
Jan 26, 2014At the core of every Hack and Slash game, one thing in particular needs to work well for the game to be fun- The actual hacking and slashing.
This, unfortunately, is something this game fails to deliver on. Both the combat and animations are so rigid and stilted that I felt like I was trying to control a wooden puppet instead of a human, and it made for an entirely frustrating and un-fun experience.
When you screw up that badly on the core mechanic of the game, how bad do you think the rest of it is? Spoiler: It's bad.
From the exceedingly boring story to the (extremely limited) 4 characters that all had, honestly, pretty poor class archetypes, to the terribly limited equipment system, this game just gets everything wrong. Even the dialogue sections don't work well, as it tries for a Mass Effect- style system and ends up being shallow, and the close-ups on the characters reveal just how "off" the face models look.
If you're thinking about buying this game, even just for some couch co-op; don't. Do yourself a favor and go out and find a copy of Champions of Norrath for the PS2. It's hard to believe that a PS2 game can both look and play miles better than A mid-gen 360/ PS3 title, but it does. So don't waste your time on this sorry excuse for a hack'n'slash, if you really want a console hack'n'slash, there's multiple superior options. Champions of Norrath and its sequel, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and its sequel, Diablo 3... Even Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes is better than this game. Don't waste your money.… Expand
Mar 18, 2014Not to dog anyone who liked the game, but it was absolutely terrible. The high camera that you can't see any character detail almost made the game unplayable for me. Compared to other titles in the series and of the same genre it was very limited and wasn't a very good story. I would not recommend this game for anything but a coaster for drinks or a microwave to watch the sparks.

Sep 14, 2011It doesn't push the envelope aside from experimenting with gameplay but if you like this type of game you'll probably enjoy yourself as long as you speed through the story.
Sep 14, 2011The story may not be the greatest, but the gameplay is solid and for that alone you should check it out.
Aug 6, 2011A fun game in places, but after one run through of the game you will not really have the urge to go back for more. This will certainly help you pass a few hours but beyond that it is hard to see it as little more than filler for bigger and better things.


text: When I was in high school (eons and eons ago) the Museum of Natural Science in Washington, DC had an exhibit on the differences in height between ancient and modern man. I remember this because being the short person I am, according to the exhibit I was considered average/tall for a Roman woman at exactly five feet. That is not to say that there were not tall people long ago. My great-great-great-grandfather, who came to the States from England in 1850, was seven feet tall (and obviously passed along a recessive gene for height). When he was buried, his grave threw off the next row in the cemetery. Ly.

I'm 5'4" and I was taller than the doorway. If in fact it is true that the Medieval people were shorter than modern people, it's likely because of malnutrition. The women were short if they had children at a young age. If a woman has a child before she stops growing, her bones will fuse and growth will stop. (That is something I learned in biology so don't shoot me, shoot the book) however it's something I've also observed in dogs and cats. -Lady Grainne Kathleen NicPadraig MacDaniel None is deceived but he who trusts too much.
