Amuletby Roberto Bolano
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A tour de force, Amulet is a highly charged first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman's voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America.
It is September 1968 and the Mexican student movement is about to run head-on into the repressive right-wing government of Mexico: hundreds of young people will soon die.
When the army invades the university, one woman hides in a fourth-floor ladies' room and for twelve days she is the only person left on campus. Staring at the floor, she recounts her bohemian life among the young poets of Mexico City—inventing and reinventing freely—and along the way she creates a cosmology of literature. She is Auxilio Lacouture, the Mother of Mexican Poetry.
Auxilio speaks of her passionate attachment to young poets as well as to two beloved aged poets, to a woman who once slept with Che Guevera, and to the painter Remedios Varo, recalling visits which never occured. And as they grow ever more hallucinatory, her "memories" become mythologies before completely transforming into riveting dark prophecies.
Hair-raising and enthralling, Amuletis a heart-breaking novel and another brilliant example of the art of Roberto Bolaño, "the most admired novelist," as Susan Sontag noted, "in the Spanish-speaking world."
"Bolao's work fugues again and again around the confluence of fugitive literary movements and tumultuous political upheavals of '60s and '70s Mexico and Chile. Originally from Montevideo, poet Auxilio Lacouture cleans house in Mexico City for two well-known poets and hangs about the university literary scene doing odd jobs. In September 18, 1968, as the army occupies the campus, arresting and killing people, Auxilio is in the deserted bathroom stalls, obliviously reading poetry; later she becomes famous for being the only one who resists arrest that fateful day. Over years without fixed address or employment, she loses her teeth and befriends the teenage Arturo Belano. Belano eventually returns to Chile at the time of the Allende coup and is imprisoned by Pinochet — a political initiation author Bolao experienced himself. Auxilio's first-person narration serves as a medium for lost young voices of revolution, such as the elusive, limping Elena, the Catalan painter Remedios Varo, and Lilian Serpas, who claims she slept with Che Guevara. Auxilio's lyrical prophecies converge in a wrenching tribute to all the voices she has known, tinged with Bolao's luminous pathos." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Not since Gabriel Garcia Marquez, whose masterpiece, 'One Hundred Years of Solitude,' turns 40 this year, has a Latin American redrawn the map of world literature so emphatically as Roberto Bolano does with 'The Savage Detectives.' The Chilean-born Bolano moved with his parents to Mexico in 1968, returned to Chile in 1973 only to be caught up in the Pinochet coup d'etat, and settled eventually in... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) Catalonia, Spain. Much of the time before his untimely death in 2003, at the age of 50, he was obsessed with being an outcast. His turn has come to be an icon. Bolano not only wrote exactly what and how he pleased; he also viciously attacked figures such as Isabel Allende and Octavio Paz, accusing them of being conformists, more interested in fame than in art. In poems, stories (some of them included in his 'Last Evenings on Earth'), novellas (such as 'Distant Star' and 'By Night in Chile'), two mammoth narratives (one under review here and '2666,' scheduled for publication next year in English translation), and an essay collection (called, in Spanish, 'Entre parentesis'), he cultivated such a flamboyant, stylistically distinctive, counter-establishment voice that it's no exaggeration to call him a genius. 'The Savage Detectives' alone should grant him immortality. It's an outstanding meditation on art, truth and the search for roots and the self, a kind of road novel set in 1970s Mexico that springs from the same roots as Alfonso Cuaron's film 'Y tu mama tambien.' Its protagonists are Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, fringe poets professing an aesthetics they describe as 'visceral realism.' Their hunt for a precursor by the name of Cesarea Tinajero takes them to the Sonora Desert, portrayed by Bolano as a land of amnesia. As the title suggests, the material has the shape of a detective story, yet one that stretches the genre to its limits. The narration is polyphonic: The first part is told by Juan Garcia Madero, a transient member of the visceral realists. The second is a maze of testimonials by a plethora of people, real and fictional, about the Mexican literary world from 1976 to "96. And the third part returns to 1976 and Garcia Madero, who delivers a denouement as eccentric as it is graphic. The reader reaches the end recognizing that everything is a joke and that words are insufficient to chronicle metaphysical searches such as the one undertaken by this pair of good-for-nothings, who call to mind Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Indeed, Cervantes' masterpiece serves Bolano as pretext and subtext. The entire book is episodic, alternating between discussions of literature, misadventures and stories within stories. Middle-class angst is ubiquitous. Sex is performed — and depicted — prodigally. The scenes of Garcma Madero's initiations into a world of frenzied hedonism are the best of their kind I've read. There's a hilarious episode in which the visceral realists attempt to kidnap Paz, who is accurately portrayed as stiff and formal. The cumulative effect of these satirical episodes is astonishing. Everyone in them is looking to understand what motivates Belano and Lima, but fails to do so. It's a Rashomon-like quest, in which truth is evasive, ultimately unattainable. That, indeed, is the tone of the entire novel. As Belano and Lima try to find Tinajero, we readers try to understand them as characters. Yet Bolano doesn't want us to. He fills them with contradictions, including disappointment when they finally find Tinajero. What matters isn't the solution to the puzzle but the effort of assembling its pieces. One piece comes early in the novel's second part, when a mythical female, Auxilio Lacouture (Bolano's names are at once trite and magical), makes an appearance. She's a Uruguayan who moved to Mexico in the "60s, became involved in the student uprising of 1968, and who presents herself, irreverently, as the 'Mother of Mexican Poetry.' This section takes up fewer than a dozen pages, but after 'The Savage Detectives' first came out in Spanish, Bolano expanded the material into a rather plotless and meandering novella, 'Amulet,' which was first published in 1999 and has now been gorgeously rendered into English by Chris Andrews. By far the most hallucinatory element in 'The Savage Detectives' (and in '2666') is its bizarre, exquisite prose. Having spent years studying linguistic varieties across the Americas, I've never come across a chameleon talent like Bolano's. He writes in a Mexican Spanish with an Iberian twist but an impostor's accent. How ironic that the best Mexican novel of the last 50 years should have been written by a Chilean. Bolano started writing at the age of 18. He was an unredeemed smoker, ate poorly and slept irregular hours. Literature for him was a mania, if not also a form of martyrdom. His last decade of life was remarkably prolific. Starting in 1993, he published almost a book a year, sometimes more. His early fiction dealt with topics such as the death of the Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo in Paris and the excesses of fascism in Chile. He rewrote a story by Borges and imagined an encyclopedia of Nazi authors in Latin America. He refused stipends from the literary establishment, submitting his manuscripts to contests in order to get the little money he needed to go on. In his late teens, he made an irrevocable decision: never to enter a classroom again. After that, everything he learned came via reading. Indeed, I'm convinced that Bolano worked his deepest revolution as a reader: He chose his own predecessors, rejected best-sellers, enjoyed carving out a career against the wishes of the literary status quo. Isn't it ironic then that the escritor maldito, the accursed writer, the ultimate pariah, is now being firmly positioned in the spotlight? Of course, it was inevitable. Too many mediocre books are being published, and a courageous voice, angry and heretical, remains rare. What distinguishes a genius isn't intelligence — there's plenty of that around; nor is it the degrees one receives from distinguished schools. It isn't even the polish of one's style. The classics are often imperfect, and 'The Savage Detectives,' though inexhaustible, is messy and perhaps overly ambitious. Only one thing matters: Bolano had the courage to look at the world anew. Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College. His new book, 'On Love,' will be published in the fall."

A tour de force, is a highly charged first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman's voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America.
is a monologue, like Bolano's acclaimed debut in English, . The speaker is Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman who moved to Mexico in the 1960s, becoming the "Mother of Mexican Poetry," hanging out with the young poets in the cafés and bars of the University. She's tall, thin, and blonde, and her favorite young poet in the 1970s is none other than Arturo Belano (Bolano's fictional stand-in throughout his books). As well as her young poets, Auxilio recalls three remarkable women: the melancholic young philosopher Elena, the exiled Catalan painter Remedios Varo, and Lilian Serpas, a poet who once slept with Che Guevara. And in the course of her imaginary visit to the house of Remedios Varo, Auxilio sees an uncanny landscape, a kind of chasm. This chasm reappears in a vision at the end of the book: an army of children is marching toward it, singing as they go. The children are the idealistic young Latin Americans who came to maturity in the '70s, and the last words of the novel are: "And that song is our amulet."
About the Author
Author of 2666 and many other acclaimed works, Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. He has been acclaimed "by far the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time" (Ilan Stavans, The Los Angeles Times)," and as "the real thing and the rarest" (Susan Sontag). Among his many prizes are the extremely prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He was widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. He wrote nine novels, two story collections, and five books of poetry, before dying in July 2003 at the age of 50.The poet Chris Andrews has translated many books by Roberto Bolaño and César Aira for New Directions.

Bought him at an auction late March, 2013. Amigo was brought in off of a reserve, and was full of worms and lice. Since buying him, he is no longer wormy, lousy, and has gained weight. Before late March 2013, Amigo had never had human contact. He is now halter broke, good with the farrier, loads easily into the trailer, and loves cuddles and attention.

G13, and some sort of G-something keyboard that has way more buttons than I actually use. Oh and there's one of those console-style PC controllers as well.
While these gizmos come in handy for various single-player titles, few if any of them see much use when I play MMOs. I have used the keyboard's G-key macro functionality for those games where you simply never have enough hotbar space (looking at you Age of Conan and EverQuest 2), but that's about it. What about you, morning folk? Do you use peripherals for MMO gaming, and if so which ones and what for?

My SP is chugging along on the third day, should I be whipping air into it daily to degas?
On a degassing note: is there something I don't know? I put my degassing wand connect to my drill in my carboy, did a small burst, 2-3 seconds, to see what would happen. The resulting explosion ended with about a 3-4 inch geyser spouting out of my carboy and 1-2 liters of 1.030 Skeeter Pee on the floor.
Did I miss a step somewhere along the line?
Mmmm. Blue raz, cherry, lime and classic ( with grape wine slurry)
At bottling time I added 2 packs of koolaid to 5 litres of pee. Adds a great flavour and very simple.
Oops. No use a whisk or something like it and just stir the top kinda. It's just to introduce a little more oxygen too keep the ferment going. A wand would bring up all the co2 in the solution.
A whisk by hand*. No drill

Another strong start for Zimmermann
Jul 8, 2010, 9:16 PM EST
Jordan Zimmermann turned in another impressive showing in his second rehab start earlier today.
Starting once again for Class A Potomac, Zimmermann tossed three scoreless innings at Frederick, allowing one hit with five strikeouts and no walks. He threw 45 pitches, 30 for strikes, in the next step in the right-hander's recovery from major elbow surgery.
Zimmermann, who had Tommy John surgery last August, has yet to surrender a run in five rehab innings with Potomac. He also hasn't walked a batter, though he did hit one during today's game.
The Nationals haven't announced plans yet for Zimmermann's next outing, though he'll be scheduled to pitch four innings whenever and wherever the start takes place. If he continues to progress as hoped, the 24-year-old figures to come off the 60-day disabled list and join the Nats' rotation sometime in August.
- Andrew - Jul 8, 2010 at 11:59 PM
This is the type of news the Nats need. A 2011 rotation of #1 Strasburg #2 J. Zimmermann #3 TBD #4 TBD #5 TBDWith #1 and #2 I think they can win 30 games combined in 2011.
- Cwj - Jul 9, 2010 at 12:52 AM
Yeah I agree with Andrew. Strasburg and Zimmermann will likely be the top of next year's rotation (and perhaps even beginning when J. Zimm returns in August).
- Andrew - Jul 9, 2010 at 1:24 AM
CWJ, sad part is I can't think of who gets the 3 to 5 spot.JD Martin, Detwiler, Wang, Marquis, Stammen, Lannan, Thompson, Chico are all under team control. Then do you bring back Livo for another 1 year deal or even sign a top Free Agent pitcher.So many pitchers for so few coveted spots.

Maury is a tabloid talk show hosted by Maury Povich, which is known for its recurring themes involving paternity and lie detector tests.
In 1991, the series premiered under the moniker The Maury Povich Show but was renamed Maury in 1995. In 1998, Studios USA took over the show's production. According to Wikipedia,[1] from 2008 onwards the show began focusing on topics like paternity testing, lie detector testing, abusive relationships and "out of control" teenage girls.
Online Presence
On October 17th, 2008, a Facebook[6] page titled "Maury" was created, which garnered over 2.2 million likes in the following five years. On April 29th, 2010, the "Holy Maury Mother of God" Tumblr[7] blog was launched, highlighting notable screen captures and animated GIFs from the show. On July 8th, 2012, the Maury Povich Wiki[2] was launched. On January 10th, 2013, the viral content site BuzzFeed[5] published a collection of animated GIFs of notable moments from the show (shown below).

Gonna Have a Baby
"Gonna Have a Baby" is a memorable quote from an episode of Maury in which 15-year-old Victoria Thompson[3] is confronted by her mother for her attempts at becoming pregnant. On April 18th, 2007, YouTuber TheRealSpade uploaded the episode to YouTube, garnering upwards of five million views and 39,000 comments in the following seven years.
On May 21st, 2008, Maury aired an update in which Thompson announced that she was four months pregnant (shown below, left). On October 10th, 2008, Thompson revealed as a guest on the show that she had given birth to her son Javen (shown below, left). In 2010, Thompson and her husband Naul appeared on the show to have a DNA test to determine the paternity of Javen, which was shown to be her husband child (shown below, right).
Chicken Tetrazzini
Chicken Tetrazzini refers to an episode of the Maury show in which a woman claimed her boyfriend had been cheating on her because his mistress made good "chicken tetrazzini."
You Are Not the Father
"You Are NOT The Father!" is a catchphrase popularized by Povich during paternity testing segments, in which a mother appears on the show with a request to prove or disprove that a man is the biological father of her child or children. After hearing each side's story, Maury sits down with both parties to read the results of a paternity test, at which point he announces whether the male guest is the father or not the father.
Maury Povich Lie Detector
Maury Povich Lie Detector is an advice animal image macro series featuring a screen captured image of Povich with captions presenting various claims as fabrications. The series plays off a recurring theme involving the use of lie detectors on the show.

If there's been one track resonating around Topshop HQ since August it's Taylor Swift's, "Shake It Off." The industry's goody two shoes has shaken off (sorry, we couldn't resist!) her country sound and her newest album, TS 1989, is embracing pop in it's purest form. There's dark Kelly Clarkson-esque ballads – "Foxes" – and joyous calls to arms – "Welcome to New York" – each track with a satisfying balance of memorable hooks and Tay Tay's relatable songwriting. So why are we suddenly talking all things Swift? Well, the woman of the hour is on her way across the pond and come 2015 she'll be kicking off Hyde Park's British Summer Time festival. COOL OR WHAT?! So if there's one thing to get us through the colder winter months it might just be this…
Don't miss the event of the summer and snap up your tickets right here.

Chris Nolan
Number 6 and the Village coming to a theater near you
Chris Nolan, the director of last year's summer blockbuster Batman Begins, is nearing a deal to direct a movie version of the cult classic television show The Prisoner.
According to the website comingsoon.net Nolan will direct a contemporary version of the show once he is finished with production of The Dark Knight, a sequel to Batman Begins. The movie adaptation of The Prisoner will be written by Janet and David Peoples (Twelve Monkeys, Blade Runner). It's unknown if this modern version of the show will connect in any way with the remake of The Prisoner that has been commissioned by Britain's Sky One satellite channel.
Only lasting 17 episodes back in 1967, The Prisoner featured Patrick McGoohan as a government agent who resigns, is kidnapped, and placed on an isolated island known as the Village. It's there that he is given the new identity of Number 6. If you are interested in getting a feel for the series, number one fan Michael Sciannamea is currently reviewing episodes of The Prisoner for TV Squad's Retro Squad column.

"Without a doubt, the initiative got legs in this office," says Chamber President Rob Guidry. "We worked every level of government on all this, and gradually the feds started believing us."
And while the southern leg upgrade of U.S. Highway 90 to an interstate is still a long way from reality, the fruits of their labor, $259 million, came in late July as part of a record highway and mass transit bill passed by Congress. Securing the money meant garnering support from a multi-state region, and Louisiana was a key player. Though only $59 million is for the buildout of the southern portion, it may be enough to keep the project going until a new transportation bill comes up in six years, says Lafayette businessman Bill Fenstermaker, chairman of Gov. Kathleen Blanco's I-49 South Task Force ' and one of the chamber's staunchest I-49 proponents.
Money is coming from the state as well. Last week, Blanco signed into law a bill that dedicates the use of unclaimed property to secure bonds for I-49. State Treasurer John Kennedy was the architect of that initiative.
Still, I-49 south is $1 billion away from accommodating its first travelers. "I don't think it's a catastrophe not having the money now," Fenstermaker says, noting that environmental impact studies are already under way. "You can get a lot done. The rights of way can be purchased, the engineering ' everything that's necessary to build a highway. I think they'll use the money we get to set ourselves up."
Fenstermaker maintains I-49 north, extending the roadway from Shreveport to Arkansas (where it will unite with two other interstates to reach Canada) got the lion's share of funds because it hasn't run into opposition and has already secured some rights of way. "The ones that are ready to go get the dollars first," he says.
The north has not had to fight the same battles as the south, according to Fenstermaker. The Concerned Citizens Coalition, a local group opposing the I-49 Connector, joined forces with the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic and filed a federal lawsuit in 2003 over a proposed elevated portion of the project that takes it through Evangeline Thruway, the Sterling Grove National Historic District and Beaver Park. "For years, officials have ignored the citizens' pleas for I-49 to loop around Lafayette, refusing to study a less destructive route which could halve the cost of the project and be built in a third of the time," said CCC's Kelly Caldwell when the group filed suit. "Instead, they approve a plan that severs our community and places the burden on our oldest neighborhoods and most vulnerable populations," added Caldwell, who lives in a turn-of-the-century home in Sterling Grove. The group's primary argument is that the project violates historic preservation law and that the Federal Highway Administration has failed to consider an alternative eastern bypass route.
"The litigation has had an effect," says Fenstermaker. "We weren't ready."
The CCC lost two court battles and on Aug. 5 asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for a re-hearing of all the judges on the grounds that its June 2005 ruling conflicts with its own precedent.
"It's a delay tactic," Fenstermaker says. He and other chamber leaders remain undeterred. "We're a bunch of hard-headed people," he says.
The chamber's involvement in I-49 took root in 1992 under the chairmanship of banker Rusty Cloutier. His successor, banker Rae Robinson, formed the first local task force, and Fenstermaker continued to carry the torch. Along the way they brought in support from New Iberia, Franklin, Houma, Morgan City and New Orleans and then moved north to Shreveport (now home to the International I-49 Coalition) and on to Arkansas and Missouri, traveling throughout the region to talk to ' and win over ' anyone who would give them an audience. "They all took their turn pushing that ball up the hill," Guidry says.
Every small victory helped sustain the momentum, says Cloutier, noting that some politicians were even willing to set aside their own agendas to jump on board. For example, Franklin Mayor Sam Jones made a public commitment to sacrifice projects in his city for I-49 and then put "I-49 South" bumper stickers on every public vehicle in Franklin.
The chamber latched on to the project for three reasons: highway safety, hurricane evacuation, and jobs in the form of economic development opportunities the new interstate corridor will create. "The primary reason for me was the death toll on that highway," Fenstermaker says. "That and Hurricane Andrew, when we saw the traffic backed up [in 1992]."
A powerful political entity, the chamber group had a hand in getting one of its own, then-UL engineering department head Dr. Kam Movassaghi (who now works for Fenstermaker), into the top seat at DOTD in 1998. Just a year before, Gov. Mike Foster had appointed the first statewide I-49 South Task Force, naming as its chair Carl Bauer, a fervent I-49 activist. Bauer, who served in the state House and Senate from 1966 to 1976 and has been UL Lafayette's coordinator of government relations since the early 1990s, proved invaluable to the chamber's effort, as he had spent much of his public career pushing to make U.S. Highway 90 a four-lane roadway.
Along with consolidation of city and parish governments, Guidry, who's been with the chamber for nearly three decades, ranks I-49 as the most important initiative the business organization has ever undertaken. At times, it's also placed the local group in the state and national spotlight. Five years ago Guidry and Fenstermaker testified about the importance of the project to a U.S. House committee on transportation, and because I-49 became a multi-state effort, it also was largely responsible for Guidry being named State Chamber of Commerce Executive of the Year in 2003 and again in 2004.
Though no longer the pipe dream former DOTD secretary Frank Denton called it, I-49 south still has hurdles to jump. But Guidry is confident in the chamber's resolve. The chamber exec says politicians and groups opposed to the project have built obstacles at every turn but compares the chamber's efforts with those of a tireless canine.
"We'd run out and get the stick and bring it back, and they would be astounded," he says. "Then they'd toss it farther. But we never went away."

We loved the quirky paintings and surroundings of our banta; that aloe vera grows wild beside the banta (I needed that on more than one occasion); the daily changing restaurant options (all which were amazing! We tried other restaurants in the area and always regretted not just going to 'our' restaurant); attentive and knowledgeable staff; options and ease of booking excursions; super relaxing hammocks and swing on the beach; and the lovely gift shop/massage hut on the beach.
We didn't like having to leave. What an amazing Island and what an amazing place to stay on that Island.
The restaurant had great food options for good prices! Hats off to the chef!
The perfect place for a quiet and relaxed break.
The excellent hospitality of the owners!!!
Extremely nice location directly on the beautiful beach. Helpful and service oriented owners and staff. Very good restaurant.
No Wifi, but neighbour resort had Wifi.
Being next to other resorts where wifi is available. Being close to the most reasonably priced scuba diving on the island. The beautifully decorated rooms. The lovely view from the restaurant. The fresh fruit and juice of breakfast. The delicious meals available for lunch and dinner The big bathrooms
The chipatis or pancakes for breakfast (would have liked something a little more fancy/ wholesome, like maybe a Spanish omelette, or boiled eggs with quality toast and grilled tomatoes). I would have liked a bath mat The stairs up to the top rooms need repairing (cracks, uneven and painful on bare feet).
A perfect hideaway to get away from the busy city of Dar.. We had a fantastic stay and felt welcomed every time we went. The staff is amazing. We were able to relax and fully unwind. We are looking forward for a longer stay...
The location was great, the staff was very helpfull and helped us with organizing a spice tour trip which was very good. The restaurant serves a nice breakfast with each morning fresh juice and fruit and enough bread or pancakes. The prices for drinks and for food are good value for money. Try for sure the sea food plate ( or any of the other dishes all of them are of good quality and quantity ). The possibility to snorkel was also a good plus point for this location.
there was nothing to complain about, everything was like we expected, relax and nice place!
Twisted Palms is in a delightful location on the Eastern side of Zanzibar, right on the coast. It was quiet and beautiful and we were made most welcome. Be sure that you go on the walking tour of the local village and see the amazing Charity School, started by an inspired individual to help the very poorest to get access to education. The staff at Twisted Palms were efficient, friendly but unobtrusive. It was a great place to stay
Not much! If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place to be, though we were perfectly comfortable.

Some concerns
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
The PvE isn't as difficult as it probably appears in those videos. There are some monsters that will crush your face. Usually, they have a Very Obvious animation that is designed to tell you that "Now is the dodging time!" Some of your concerns seem to be legitimate for your professed play-style. Specifically, GW2 isn't a standard Tank 'n Spank combat system. Movement is required as is paying attention to the game. You also have to pay some amount of attention to your surroundings (looking for downed players, patrols, etc.) at all times. Getting Downed isn't the worst thing, either, since you can revive yourself in a variety of ways...as well as having other players pick you back up.
As for the extra money for beta...well. There are a few possibilities there. One of them is price-gouging on the theory that people *will* pay the extra $20 for beta access and won't even think about it. Another is that Amazon had to purchase the non-discounted 'consumer' boxes from NCSoft to get the beta access codes and thus is increasing the price to give themselves a profit margin. Either way, it makes more sense to buy direct from the company (buy.guildwars2.com) to avoid any of the middle-man shenanigans. Also, there is no special 'beta-access' package from the manufacturer...all boxes provide access.
A simple question
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
I've logged about 2500 hours of GW1 throughout all of the expansions. I loved the PvP (well, most the GvG) - I still hold it up as the shining example of what structured PvP should be in a MMORPG. The PvE storylines were fun enough for a run through or two, but they got old after that.
I'm surprised to find that I'm excited about the PvE in GW2 as much as I am for the PvP. Maybe it's the dynamic events, maybe is that I have to continue to think in PvE (rather than making sure I have a healer) - I'm not entirely sure. I'm eagerly awaiting April 10th and all of the following landmark dates that will be announced.

As of last PAX East, you could actually swap weapons from inventory into active during combat.

It's a bit tricky to do, but unless they changed that particular bit, it should still be that way. If it's changed, my apologies for outdated info x_x
Guild Wars 2: Guild Drama...Oh NOOOO!
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
Quite honestly, I don't see the issue.
As far as I can tell, this is an option that Anet is putting in GW2 for the sake of providing the choice to those who want to take it. Those who don't will stay as a mono-guild player. If a person starts drifting away from your guild to another, perhaps it means that your guild doesn't offer what that player needs to have fun. This way, if that happens, you don't lose the person/friend in your guild (and so don't lose the easiest form of communication with them), but they just choose to do activities with a different guild more. Which they'd do anyway in a mono-guild system, except that they'd have left your guild first.
Which is better?
*New Profession:* The Thief
General Discussion « Guild Wars 2
Not quite sure which videos you're referring to that show tank characters killing things more easily than the thief...keep in mind that this was a demo (so, monsters with theoretically launch HP levels and armor) rather than the class videos (which use monsters set up to die almost instantly for dramatic effect).
The thief dynamic looked more active and twitchy than any other class so far. It's a shame that the developer who demoed it wasn't as proficient with it as I'm sure people will be once GW2 launches. I'll be very interested to see what the players do with it once game is launched.

Part IV, which has since been removed and (as of yet) not been reposted, had a glimpse every so often of a level indicator over another players head, if I recall correctly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHqO7emmcnE - part III made it over on to YouTube, it's the only one I've found so far.
Also, during the high level event, I believe she, and the other players, were around level 27 or so...so the level 31 mobs would be considered high level, and also can account for how hard they were getting rocked.
Guild Wars 2: The PvP Question
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
To be fair, Guild Wars 1 had the GvG combat really well figured out, in my opinion. So, they don't need to spend as much time on that while developing GW2 as they did in GW1 - thus the extra time is spent upgrading PvE and instituting the World Combat.
Just because they haven't announced much about GvG doesn't mean it's not there, or it's going to suck. They already had it be awesome and seriously competitive - a few touch ups here and there, and voila, the amazing game type returns.
Dark Side will be the Overpowered side in PvP
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
Honestly, judging purely from the videos seen at E3, this game doesn't look like it is "new" enough to justify playing. The playstyle looks approximately the same as every other MMO currently on the market, and either they haven't released or they haven't built in enough innovation to make this game 'pop'.
Dark Side will be the Overpowered side in PvP
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
Class balancing is a really difficult game to play for the developers. No game has gotten it perfect to date. I find it difficult to believe that the dev's would purposely make one side more powerful overall than the other in a factional warfare game. Of course, then I take into account the terrible class balance that we saw with Mythic's WAR and my hopes start to drop slightly.
Who would want to be a healer?
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online)
Yeah, this happens. Trust me, these people would kick you from the group if you were a MDPS and not performing up to their 'standards'.
The only time I bitch at a healer is when they are truly underperforming. For example; an archmage going full DPS and loling as their team dies. Also, as I play many a healer in many a game, I feel slightly justified when I -know- that I could do a significantly better job than the healer I'm getting annoyed at. Sad thing is, even as I'm DPS, I still watch the health bars like a healer...-_-;;
Overpowered/Underpowered Classes
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online)
I play a White Lion as my main; Witch Elves don't have a chance against me. Even when already engaged by 1-2 tanks, I can take out the WE and half of a tank's life before going down (if I'm solo). However, against squishy (aka Light Armor) targets, they are Death Incarnate.
Overpowered/Underpowered Classes
General Discussion « WAR (Warhammer Online)
as with all tanks imo they are underpowered
I would disagree most emphatically. Tanks typically take a small army to kill...which is their job. Hell, they can even kill things, making them even more effective. They also have roots, snares, knockdowns, debuffs, party buffs...I don't see what you're complaining about? Not sure if this is still possible, but not long ago, a good warrior priest and iron breaker could solo a tier 3 keep. Not really sure how that makes tanks UP.
What do these following words mean to YOU within the MMORPG genre?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Solo-player : A player who has no problems playing alone and will more often than not choose that over playing with a group.
Hardcore : A player who puts many hours towards a game and is obsessed with being the best, having every top item, and being able to defeat any and all opponents that are placed against him. They are also valuable members for the in- and out-of-game community and often provide some of the best feedback for the developers.
Grind : That repetitive, boring gameplay that takes you from either a) one level to the next, b) one gear level to the next, or c) one influence level to the next. It usually involves doing the same thing, over and over, until the player's mind is about ready to commit suicide. Has the side effect of gaining a lot of random loot and gold from monster drops.
RMT : Either A) Gold farming companies (typically in Asian countries, though not limited) selling their grinded wares on an internet website/eBay for real money, thus influencing (typically inflating) the economy of the game for which the gold/items are being sold. B) The game company themselves selling items/gold/buffs/character transfers/other in-game services through use of an item mall or other authorized store front.
Community : The forums and in-game chat channels. It's the interactions between all players both in and out of game that pertain to the game experience.
Sandbox : A game that does not channel its players through pre-determined quest lines to a pre-determined end-game. While it allows the player many forms of progression/play styles, it also has the unpleasant side-effect of making the player feel 'cut loose' and 'drifting' in the world (which tends to be quite large).
Linear : The 'classic' form of MMORPG/SPRPGs, involving pre-set quest lines that all lead to a final end-game. Character progression tends to follow the same line of "beginning to end level".
PvP : A style of gameplay that pits player against player. Regarded by many as requiring more skill. In most MMOs of today, PvP involves 'zerg' tactics which can be likened to mob mentality, often leading to either a) large scale battles, or b) mass overwhelming of a smaller force. Gameplay tends to differ significantly from PvE, leading to skills being useful in one setting and completely useless in another.
PvE : A style of gameplay that pits player vs. the environment and monsters. Most computer controlled mobs tend to the stupid side of things, allowing them to easily be pulled away from their friends, use ineffective tactics, auto-attack without using any skills, or be easily fooled by simplistic player tactics. In most MMOs, PvE tends to be the way to gain the most and best gear available in the game. It is also where the story of a linear style game is revealed and played through.

David Moyes was disappointed to see Manchester United knocked out of the Champions League in Munich on Wednesday but says he's determined to lead the Reds back into Europe's premier club competition as soon as possible.
With just five games to play in the Barclays Premier League and United three spots and seven points adrift of automatic entry into next season's Champions League, it looks likely Moyes will need to wait until 2015/16 for that opportunity.
"That's how it looks," Moyes told Sky Sports following the 3-1 (4-2 on aggregate) defeat against Bayern Munich. "But I believe it's not far away. Hopefully it will only be one year where we have to rebuild.
"My focus now is on getting this team back in the competition. It's a great competition and we've really enjoyed it.
"There's no shame going out to Bayern Munich – they are a good side. The players have played really well. We'll show the quality we've got, re-group and start building towards being back in the competition."

They require zero maintenance and have inexpensive fuel. But the fuel can be spilled or leak due to less viscosity. It burns inefficiently and can cause of fuel leakage.
