Score from 183 reviews Good
Location was very close to the plant. Great Breakfast. Economical, but slightly on the high price.
No water pressure in the shower
The suroundings were excellent, the breakfast one of the best I've ever encounted The (one?) staff was cheerful and very helpful. Will visit again when weather is better.
The rooms do not have phone facilities.We could not stop the extractor fan in the shower room .(tried everything),no remote for the tele.Only way to contact staff (for remedy) appeared to be via mobile phone
Friendly welcome and service. Comfortable and warm room with lovely views.
Had difficulty locating lodge as sat nav took us round the back. Eating out in the evening required a car journey, so no bottle of wine with the meal !!
Always a pleasure to stay here, with Kim making sure everything is alright. Would recommend to absolutely anyone.
There's nothing not to like.
We stayed at Whitton Lodge as a treat for my 50th birthday. We were greeted by Kim on arrival who made us more than welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. Our room was excellent with a fantastic view, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast the following morning was delicious. It was a shame we only had one night in this B & B as we felt like we had stayed with old friends when we left.
signage, but this is being sorted
We liked everything, Kim made us feel like we were at home and my wife and I just relaxed and enjoyed our time off work together, thank you Kim and John.
Everything was really good from the outdoor hot tub to the cooked breakfast & a really lovely host .
Very friendly staff and lovely surroundings. Will definitely be staying again
The room was really nice. Kim the owner was lovely, she really made us welcome. Little touches like bottled water & nice biscuits made it extra special.
Being in the disabled suite, we especially did'nt like the disabled bathroom.
Even though we only stayed for one night everything was excellent and had a relaxed welcoming feel to it. Lovely spacious rooms with plenty of light and all that was necessary for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was excellent in nice surroundings served by friendly staff. Will be recommending to family and friends :-)
There was nothing to dislike. Great all round.
Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. We would have no hesitation recommending to friends or staying there again.
We were made to feel very welcome nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was fabulous, good quality and plenty of it to start your day on. Pity we only stayed one night and didnt take advantage of snooker table and gym.
The only negative i found was the small television in bedroom as i wanted to watch tele in bed it was very hard to see, but a large screen t.v. was available in lounge.
Very friendly, good food, comfortable bed, good size double room.
I know the Matlock, Chesterfield and Tansley area quite well. Whitton Lodge would benefit from more detailed directions from Alfreton / Tansley and the M1 Jct. 28. Only 'complaint'. Probably o.k. IF one has a Satnav. p.s. We left 2 jackets in Room 1.
A perfect close access point for M1 (North or South). We were warmly welcomed into a large, warm, clean and comfortable en-suite room. Bags of hot water in the shower/bath. We were given a really tasty, multi-choice breakfast with a great variety of buffet juices, cereals and fruit to start. In a quiet rural location, this was a great find !
very friendly and welcoming, good breakfast and comfy bed.
asked for heating to go on to warm the room, no hot water throughout stay as system was 'turned off'.
Lovely staff, very welcoming.
I have no faults
Ideal for visiting Hardwick Hall which is only about 1mile away but also easy to reach Chatsworth House. Two good pubs recommended by Kim for food. Magnificent full English breakfasts
The signage wasn't very good at all when approaching from the south - apparently the council have vetoed attempts to improve it. Shouldn't they be encouraging local business?!!! The tips of the snooker cues needed replacing, otherwise I'm sure I could have scored a 147
everything was lovely the room it was quite breakfast was really good had a lovely stay
thought there was a pool there wasnt the hot tub wasnt working either was the sauna we were disapointed as we brought our swim wear and was really looking forward to the hot tubprahaps it should be made clear if there not in use
The bed was very comfortable, the curtains were lined with a black-out material ensuring a good nights sleep and the breakfast was excellent.
The room description stated that the room featured a double ended bath and was suitable for guests with reduced mobility. I specifically opted for this room as it stated that it had a bath, but when we checked in it only had a shower in the bathroom. Furthermore, the shower had a large step to get into it, the shower doors did not open widely and there was nothing to hold onto in the shower - so not at all suitable for guests unsteady on their feet! Also, no matter what temperature the shower dial was set to, the water came out at only one temperature which was REALLY REALLY hot. This was fine for me, but my partner couldn't stand it and you certainly couldn't use it for young children!
Friendliness, clean, comfortable. Hot Tub. Space. Billy Goats, Breakfast choices, safe parking, I could go on forever, felt so relaxed.
absolutely NOTHING
Size of room
Bathroom tiles coming up and black mould showing in corners. Whoever laid the tiles etc was not a professional.
fresh hot breakfast and accomadated for my veggie partner! lovely large room, room number 1, a hot tub that was hot. full size pool table. Was a really lovely which id definitely go back to. Pub on the corner to!
Just the noise of a flushing toilet from next door and slamming fire door downstairs but just minor irritants.
Snooker table in games area for guests use very friendly host .

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
Sleep problems may occur in up to 88% of visually impaired children with developmental disabilities. This can be due, in large part, to the significant role of visual cues, particularly of light/dark cycles, in the establishment of normal sleep patterns. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. Its secretion is stimulated by darkness, and suppressed by light. The use of oral melatonin has recently been used for the management of sleep difficulties in both children with and without developmental disabilities. Promising results have occurred once an accurate diagnosis had been established after thorough history, examination, and (when indicated) a sleep study. The use of sustained-release melatonin may reduce nighttime awakenings and increase total sleep times in patients suffering from circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Therapy may improve cognition, socialization skills, and functioning of the patient's entire family unit.
SLEEP DISORDERS ARE common in young children, including those with developmental disabilities. Sleep is a major part of the young child's life. By the second year they will have slept around 14 months, and by 5 years about 50% of their lives will have been spent sleeping.1 As such, it is not surprising that up to 30% of all children seeking health-care services report sleep-related concerns.1 Among children with developmental disabilities, the prevalence of sleep problems can be as high as 88%.2,3 Management of sleep disorders in disabled children has included strict sleep-wake schedules, controlled sleeping environments, and the use of hypnotics such as chloral hydrate. Recently, melatonin, a sleep-promoting hormone, has been used in an attempt to treat a variety of sleep problems.4
This review will address a general background on sleep, and associated disorders, in children with, and without, developmental disabilities. Melatonin, its discovery and isolation, and effects will be discussed, followed by a review of published reports concerning its use in children with disabilities. Finally, assessment strategies for children with sleep problems and treatment options, including melatonin, will be presented.

The following statement was issued Saturday morning by Kings Island:
MASON, Ohio – Kings Island Amusement Park set another record in its efforts to help in the fight against cancers affecting men, women and children.
The 1,821 people participating Saturday at the 364-acre amusement and water park broke the record for the most people applying lipstick at the same time. The event is part of the park's inaugural Kicks Cancer campaign to raise awareness and money for Pink Ribbon Girls whose mission is to provide personalized support to young women and their families throughout all phases of the breast cancer journey.
The Guinness Book of Records says the current record at 1,384 people applying lipstick at the same time was achieved by Avon Romania at the lulius Mall in the town of Cluj-Napoca in Romania in March.
This is the third record Kings Island has broken in three weeks. Last week, the park topped the record for the most people applying sunscreen simultaneously with 2,148 people and on August 1 achieved the head-shaving record at 213 heads shaved.
Park visitors can contribute to the campaign through August 24 by buying a soccer ball for $5 and kicking it into the park fountain for a chance to win a 2015 Honda Fit, courtesy of Performance Kings Honda.
As of Saturday, more than $110,000 has been raised since the campaign began July 25.
Net proceeds from soccer ball sales benefit The Dragonfly Foundation, Melanoma Know More and Pink Ribbon Girls.

Actors/Puppeteers were excellent. After having seen the "full size" production in New York, I can't say the production values compared to the New York show, but it was mildly entertaining.

HILARIOUS! Thank you, Stage 773, for bringing Avenue Q to Chicago! This was expertly acted and sung. I especially enjoyed the main character who played Princeton. Great ensemble piece.

Clear Up Skin Care is a non-profit that I've worked with and supported for years now. Debi, the founder, visits middle schools and high schools and teaches about acne and self-esteem. She also has satellite teachers around the country who do the same. I have personally sat in on a class and Debi is a natural with the kids. It is all a very, very cool thing. Recently, Debi stopped by my home and I interviewed her and posted a video of her here. Check it out. Oh, and if you're looking for a great non-profit to support, this would be a great one.
2 Responses to "I uploaded a video of Debi, the founder of Clear Up Skin Care, the non-profit we support. I think she's awesome."
Interesting endeavor. Tend to agree w/your viewpoint that more publicity about what a medical aggravation it is will make it less stigmatized and make those that suffer it feel less alone.
rather spend my money on something that might cure this agony, than to use my money on someone that pats people with it on the other side of the world :S.. :/ ..

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Philips Brilliance 190P6
Though designed for corporate use, the dignified Philips Brilliance 190P6 will please home and business users alike with embedded speakers, a USB hub, and a high degree of adjustability. The snazzier LG Flatron L1981Q costs less than the $559.99 Brilliance 190P6, but it lacks speakers and a USB hub, and its image quality isn't as good.
Like most business-oriented 19-inch LCDs, the Brilliance 190P6 won't turn heads. Only a thin, dull stripe of chrome around the control panel interrupts the monitor's square shape and dark-gray coloring. At 16 pounds, the 190P6 is heavy, but a large, oval-shaped base keeps it from wobbling. Despite its plain design, this LCD is exceptionally adjustable. Its telescoping neck provides 7 inches of variable height. The panel tilts forward 25 degrees and backward 5 degrees. It swivels 65 degrees in both directions. It also pivots back and forth between portrait and landscape mode; curiously, it doesn't come with software to reorient the image, so you'll need a graphics card that can. Two plastic loops on the neck keep cables organized.
The Brilliance 190P6 includes both analog and digital ports, plus one upstream and four downstream USB 2.0 ports. Also onboard are an audio input, a headphone jack, and a pair of embedded 2-watt speakers. The speakers offer good sound quality but not enough volume. Philips provides cables for everything, including one USB 2.0 cable. The company will provide a free adapter for Mac users on request.

Keira Knightley Out & About... With Orlando Bloom?by Free Britney at . Comments
Nope! Just kidding! Keira Knightley was indeed out with her hunky man… but this is not a picture of her Pirates of the Caribbean co-star, Orlando Bloom.
It just looks like him. Are we wrong? No. This is Rupert Friend, though. Or should we call him Rupert Friend… With Benefits! Sorry. It's a slow day.
Hope this clears up any confusion. Regardless of who the gaunt Keira Knightley is seen out and about with, there are a couple of constants:
- She and Rupert Friend are not engaged, despite rumors to the contrary.
- She is getting sick and tired of the damn skinny jokes celebrity gossip sites always make about her!
- We are still scarred by the image of her getting railed from behind by that squid dude in that bizarre porn comic strip we came across.
I have to agree with you guys. she should go out with orlando not that "ugly" guy. It like so wrong, orlando is the hottie
Omqqq ;;;* oldanod and keira make the cutesttt couplee
&+ this guys is uglyyyyyy (:
lmfaooo. she should go out with orlando.
I agree with all of you people orlando is like SOOOO HOT
orlando looks wayyyyyyyy better!
orlado is hot he is not
Orlando is so much better looking than this guy!

Take Cover: Madlib Medicine Show
Stones Throw art director Jeff Jank on the ambitious 12-disc CD/LP series.
By Ryan Dombal on January 26, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
Madlib's current Medicine Show monthly series of releases isn't only one of the most ambitious musical projects in recent memory-- it's one of the most impressive album art endeavors, too. Each of the planned 12 records features its own CD cover (pictured above) and booklet, and half of them are also given their own limited-edition vinyl pressings with unique, one-of-a-kind art. The man coordinating all these visuals is Stones Throw art director Jeff Jank, who's been responsible for more than half of the indie hip-hop label's covers over the years.
The vinyl pressing of the 11th installment of the series, Low Budget High Fi Music, features something extra special: the silk-screeners that make the LP covers, Hit+Run, added some Hennessy to the paint. We chatted with Jank about the Medicine Show art, his favorite Stones Throw cover, and rabbits having sex in the woods:
Pitchfork: How did the whole Medicine Show series get started?
Jeff Jank: Madlib has wanted to release an album a month for a long time and we're small enough to experiment with something like that. The series is actually on his own label, Madlib Invazion, and Stones Throw is facilitating it. It alternates between his own original albums and these mixtape albums, and we press the original ones on vinyl every other month. For the LPs, we usually get a bunch of different images and the silk-screen company Hit+Run makes different designs out of them, so each one basically has one-of-a-kind artwork. We actually destroy the screens when we're done so that we're not tempted to redo more down the line. It reminds me of the small presses and in-house printing that Sun Ra's Saturn Records did.
Pitchfork: The artwork for the CDs and their corresponding vinyl are usually related, right?
JJ: Yeah. For instance, the cover of the Low Budget High Fi Music CD has this porcupine with a hair pick and some blinged out brass knuckles, so we came up with this whole idea that these forest animals are playing beats for the vinyl sleeves. And then Brandy, who does Hit+Run, was like, "Why don't we just pour Hennessy in all the paint and then blow smoke into it?" I was like, "Can we do that?" It worked.

Pitchfork: Did you run into any issues with the consistency of the Hennessy paint?
JJ: A couple of them got a little runny but it didn't damage anything. Technically, they're also infused with smoke but that's mostly just the guys blowing smoke onto it every once in a while, almost for good luck.
Pitchfork: How much back and forth do you have with Madlib about the covers?
JJ: Very little, which has been the case for the entire 10 years that I've worked with him. He turns in his stuff and doesn't really explain what's going on in the music or if there's a theme with the album. I have to figure it out. Since this series is going so fast, I've been doing most of the covers and just showing him when they're done. And he's like, "cool."
Pitchfork: What's one of your favorite Stones Throw covers?
JJ: I really like the Madvillain one. So many people who have done album covers with Doom focus on the mask but I was just thinking of it as a guy who happened to be wearing a mask. I thought of it as one of those classic album covers where you just see a person's face but, in this case, his face happens to be covered. That in itself tells a story. Doom himself is really against having pictures of himself on covers. I have to give credit to his roadie, who was with Doom when he first saw that photo and was so enthusiastic about it that Doom was like, "All right, all right, you can use it."
Madvillain artwork by Jeff Jank and Eric Coleman:
Pitchfork: What's a cover that influenced your style?
JJ: I always really loved those album covers that are hand-drawn or maybe a little sloppy. The one for Schoolly D's first EP [below] was always one of my favorites-- he drew it himself and it just looks like some third grader's desk covered in scribbles and pictures of himself looking cool.
Pitchfork: What's the deal with the Medicine Show #6: Brain Wreck Show cover, which has a picture of rabbits having sex in the woods?
JJ: That's the weirdest mixtape of the whole bunch and the cover is just a picture I had when the whole series started. I was like, "I've got to do an album cover with this." That was actually the most fun one because the booklet was this weird pamphlet that I found in the waiting room of a bank. It's one of those pamphlets talking about how the Illuminati and the U.S. government and the Catholic church all have secret forces that control the world and everything. I loved it because it wasn't even selling anything-- it was made as a public service or something. So I scanned it and changed some of the text to make it be about Madlib. And the cover has these rabbits having sex in the woods-- that's really the only way I could explain it because the theme was global psychedelic music.

The world is addicted to oil. But now the easy pockets of oil are gone and the race is on to find new sources. Nowhere is the battle more intense than in Alaskasource of nearly 15% of America's domestic production, and home to the nation's largest wildlife preserve, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where companies are pushing to drill. National Geographic travels back millions of years to see how oil was created, and looks to the future to ask how far we'll go to find every last barrel and at what cost.

I noticed you could sneak & catch pokémon with their tails poking out of the long grass in the ORAS demo. I'm really glad that this turns out to be a more fleshed out feature. While part of me is a little annoyed with how easy it's becoming to put together an awesome team... I'm also salivating over my chance to try this out. COME ON UK RELEASE!!!

This is the first game where I'd say it would have sold better had they NOT released a demo. I played through it as far as I could be bothered... but it was terrible. Say what you will about how Sonic Team handled the blue hedgehog... at least in those days the only thing that really stank were his sneakers.
Wooo! Can't wait! I'll download it right away.... then wait until the 28th to use it. :'/
@Angelic_Lapras_King Hey, this isn't your site... get back to PkMN.net where my OCD tells me you should be! :'D
I must admit, this review seems to have a touch of disappointment about it, I was hoping that Gamefreak would be taking a few liberties with the storyline rather than following it "religiously". Though maybe this will be corrected by the amount of after-story that they seem to be putting in place.
As for the Contests... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that they have kept the mechanics similar to the originals. Training a team of pokémon with Contest skills instead of battle skills was always a completely different challenge & added a lot of depth to the game for me. It should be even more fun now that anyone can make a fully EV'd 'mon.
I don't know about the game, but I'd buy the animé!
@Olmectron Lol, I corrected my post before you replied to the mistake. :'P
But yes, Sakurai is still free to change how characters play, just not so they're all the same. That would make the game boring & a little frustrating.
@Olmectron Actually you quoted Sakurai right, but understood him wrong. Sakurai didn't say he wasn't changing character's stats.... he only stated that he wouldn't "average them out" (meaning they would all be exactly as strong as each other in all areas). He could still make huge differences in some aspects of a characters playability.
This is awesome news & confirms there will be huge new story elements in this version as well as the old story... which will also be shaken up. Interestingly, JWittz has stated that ORAS also appears to delve into AZ's backstory... so may even directly continue the story from X&Y.
Can't wait to get into what's looking like a behemoth of a game,
What's your opinion @Kaze_Memaryu ?
@Kaze_Memaryu Well, I'm glad your motivation is a lot simpler than I thought, you can facepalm all you like but divining intent via text chat isn't easy. Now I know you're simply against the game in it's entirety... good. Don't buy them, other people will. And no, you shouldn't care, but again Gamefreak feel the same way about you.
As for people manipulating data on the digital download... yes they are. Not only have people been duping pokémon using simple methods such as backing up their save files, trading & restoring them, but of COURSE people can access and edit the code. How do you think people are finding out about the event pokémon that haven't be released/announced? Psychic powers?
So yes, people have used the digital downloads to manipulate the data & yes, it is possible to open & amend files if you have the right tools. I look forward to another colourful reply.
@Kaze_Memaryu Nope, you're not meant to care, though I genuinely hope you come around at some point & join in. Other than huge amounts of money, pokémon is also about getting people together.
That's quite an assumption that the game path will be the same as before, just because the characters are the same doesn't mean they'll do the same things or have the same experiences. The exact game path wasn't the same between Ruby & Emerald, so it's a pretty pessimistic point of view that Gamefreak are going to keep the path identical.
Also, your point about HG/SS "taking the liberty" of adding a female trainer is pretty weak, this was only done because the female trainer had become standard at this point & would have elicited complaints had she not been added. Plus considering that pokémon protagonists are universally mute with the exception of a 'yes' or 'no', I doubt adding new trainers would make that vast a difference. Judging by the ORAS demo, the story could be quite different anyway. Plus there is the added dimension that some of us who played RSE the first time round may actually want the original trainer back for the nostalgia.
As for the code issue, would Gamefreak really be stupid enough to put actual pokémon data onto the players SD Card where it can be manipulated externally? Yes, bug fixes and level data can exist outside of the cart... but as soon as they allow the actual full pokémon data including models outside the cart storage itself, they pretty much give up on preventing people freely manipulating pokémon as much as they want.
I can see where you're coming from, you're upset that X&Y won't be getting an update to include all the pokémon and that's why you're throwing your toys at Gamefreak. Are they supposed to care? They'll have more than enough money from better fans.
@Kaze_Memaryu The story of ORAS will follow the same theme & share the same characters, but there will be a lot of changes for the better, not just because of how technology has changed, but because they know the people who played the original RSE are 12 years older now.... Gamefreak will pack in all sorts of surprises and twists. They added a BIG chunk of new map just for Emerald, imagine what they could do now?
Secondly, I don't know why you're so desperate for new protagonists... yes, you could play as "Joe or Tina", but then you STILL go on a quest to collect all the badges, win through teamwork & face an evil team looking to upset people (through stealing pokémon/destroying the world/flooding or drying the world). I personally think a new twist on the original RSE would be more intelligent than running through the same old story with different names... in fact new protagonists would allow Gamefreak to be MORE lazy.
Finally, if you're not going to buy ORAS until Gamefreak patch XY... it's a shame, but we'll all just have fun without you. While it may be "laughably easy" to patch in the new mega evolutions, developers always have reasons why they can't do something. They obviously haven't dropped support for XY as we recently received patch 1.3.... my guess is they haven't left enough space for all of the new pokémon forms (which could be cause by the large patch they had to release to fix the save-deleting glitch). Yes, it could be saved to your SD card... but it also needs gamecard space too.
Sounds cool, most towns in the UK have streetpass meetups if you look for them... I wonder how quickly the ticket will spread? Is definitely better than last time around when they used e-cards (UK didn't get the e-card reader).
Definitely going to apply to be one of the 15, hopefully my official Google pokémaster status will help. :'P
@Ron1212 Based on ALL posts before mine (the one you first picked on), literally no one was hating on her. The only thing which could have been considered an insult was a comment saying "Just Twerk". So again, the only assumption was yours, unless you're definition of hate includes ANY mention of something she's done in the past.
@Imagamerboi Well it's hard to take a selfie with a gaming console which is plugged into her TV. If she'd been holding it, you'd have complained that she couldn't have been playing it because it wasn't plugged in.
The story is not news worthy, but I don't see why anyone would attack Miley over it.
@melvin2898 No one is hating on her... it's just no one cares either.
News flash: Person owns WiiU.
@ZenTurtle I've asked for codes from my local GAME quite a few times & no one has ever laughed at me... in fact I've had some really fun conversations with both the store staff & other pokémon fans in store.
I've been to a few events & generally had to travel to them myself... they're huge fun and wouldn't have exchanged the experiences I had for anything. Yes, you could spend 5 seconds to download a code & then get on with your life.. or spend 30 minutes on a train & mess about with 30/40 people who love the same thing you do...
@BassLostie All 719? When was Diancie released? As far as I know, outside of the Japanese movie release (which can not be traded via GTS), Diancie has not been released in the US or Europe.
It's not an accusation as you may know someone who saw the movie in Japan & traded their one, super rare pokémon from them.
Catching all 719 is pretty easy if you accept cloned/hacked pokémon. I'm sticking to 718 until GAME/Gamestop officially release DIancie in the west next month.
@Great_Gonzalez I'm the same, I've fully completed my pokédex with the exception of pokémon that are not legally available. Can't wait to download my Dancie in a few weeks!
But yes, it's VERY easy for those of us who have been playing since RBY to forget how hard it must be for younger players to build up their pokédex without going back & buying ancient Nintendo hardware (the stuff I grew up with).
I understand people's disappointment, but at the same time I can understand why Gamefreak feel it necessary not to patch in the new Mega Evolutions.. a lot of people would simply get their friends to clone in the new Mega Stones & then transfer them back to X&Y... completely negating the need to buy ORAS.
Yay! I got my code! Downloading now!
To everyone still waiting, I'm sure you'll get one in time.
OMG! How did I miss this until now! cries a little
Love the look, but the way the characters move is so creepy... like they're string puppets being controlled by invisible demons or something.
Capcom are basically digging their own grave - while it can seem attractive to pump all your money into one or two "big AAA" games, eventually people will get bored of those and what has happened to the games you've left to rot? All the good will they had has gone & you've left yourself no where to go.
Capcom would be well served to start up the Megaman Legends 3 project up again, license Darkstalkers to a company that knows what to do with it and build up some good will. If people expect bad service from a company, they won't buy a game no matter WHO is on the cover.
It's sad that so many people cheat & hack that Nintendo felt the need to put any of these rules in place. Though if the same kind of ban was available for hacked pokémon I'd be for it.
I personally think this is evidence that the next generation of handhelds is quite far away... otherwise I can't understand they'd not just add in "enhanced" backwards compatibility into the 4DS (or whatever it's called) instead.
I would normally tell people when a new form factor is released for a handheld, "don't worry, you can still play all the games... that's what matters". But that isn't true. If it's true that some newer games will ONLY be able to run on the NEW 3DS, then I'll finally lose ALL faith in Nintendo.
Having used my 3DS as a music player before, the only downside is that they're still using the L & R buttons to skip tracks.... while this works fine while holding the 3DS, it stops working as soon as it goes in a case.
I used my 3DS for a while when my phone was being repaired... and in a case ANY knock or bump causes the music to skip 5/6 tracks or just jam & stop playing.
If someone invented a belt-clip case with the L & R spaces cut-out... that would work!
Of course the person who coded this is saying "this won't be used for Piracy"... because it's illegal & he doesn't want to face criminal action! Every single console chipper & hacker that's ever released an illegal rom has said "it's not to be used for Piracy", because they're not stupid.
As for the person who said that the internet & phones wouldn't exist without "hackers" has watched too much Matrix - I'm 33 & grew up while the internet was being developed... I did my A-Level Computing pre-broadband & my dad was a professional programmer for a large software company... & you know what contribution "hackers" made to the internet? Thousands of hours that could have gone into making things faster, cheaper & more fun wasted in LAYERS of security.
Being an coder who works on Open Source systems like Android (which I do) does not make you a 'Hacker', unless you're a 12 year old whose idea of hacking is from dodgy movies.
I've only ever really enjoyed one Adam Sandler movie, Little Nicky... and that was mostly because of the script. I'll have to take people's word that he can actually act.
As for whether this movie can be good - of course it can. Every movie has the potential to be awesome & no director goes out to make a bad movie. Problem comes in the execution.
I doubt that there won't be any attempts by this duo to make money from these hacks - it takes hours of work & a massive amounts of trial and error to work out the code in this way. Stating that it's being done all for fans is the best way of avoiding lawsuits.
While they're not doing anything illegal (other than breaching the terms of sale which state you're not allowed to attempt to reverse engineer or alter the code), I reserve my judgement on the good nature of the hackers.
I'm fine with the new characters, the one thing you can't accuse Nintendo of is failing to give players a choice. As for getting "too non-nintendoey"... well they've already used most of their characters several times already. You either keep things fresh & add characters from further afield or moan about the "same old fighters".
I must also add that female Robin looks a bit like Maka Albarn from Soul Eater - a definite bonus.
P.S. The "update" against Robin at the end of the video might just be referring to the fact that they added the option onto the end of the video at the last moment... it certainly seems tacked on.
@ollietaro I'm sure there will be plenty of changes and surprises to be found, but they have to be careful to get the balance right between walking all over peoples memories & updating tired characters. Also, they need to save the big drops for closer to release. Personally I think they've made Flannery a lot cuter with just some minor style adjustments.
I'm hoping that the "cosplay" is something that rolls out to all the pokémon so that it can be used in the contests. The only issue with this would be that that'd have to make the models for all the separate outfits.
@8BitSamurai That's a good question, why did he cheat? They've added the Friend Safari which guarantees you 2 perfect IV's a pokémon, there are items that pass on those IVs in breeding, there are mini-games which allow you to perfectly EV your pokémon in 20 minutes and need no skill. Gamefreak have gone out their way to make sure anyone can make a perfect pokémon in a couple of hours... so why cheat? It's laziness.
So why don't you endorse fake cards, it fills all of your rules for being fine - doesn't effect the gameplay, makes no difference to the other player does it? It's not as if there is skill in opening a packet, it's just patience and grinding. If you endorse fake pokémon you MUST endorse fake TCG cards as it's the same principle.
Finally, if he didn't tell anyone it's a fake pokémon when playing in a tournament where fake pokémon are banned then he IS being dishonest - entering a tournament where you are meant to have legal, game spawned pokémon FUNDAMENTALLY means you are being asked "are your pokémon 100% game spawned". When he started playing he was saying "yes"... which was a lie.
I used to be a national Yu-Gi-Oh player and we had cheats and fake cards - it's the same principle, it makes things easier for the cheater, gives them more practice time over the honest player AND is just plain wrong.
Thing is, patience is a skill too, if you don't have it then you're not suited to "raising pokémon". Plus it doesn't take days - it takes me an hour or two per pokémon to make a perfect IV & EV'd team in X&Y... they've made it SO frickkin' easy!
Finally, if I photocopy TCG cards... it won't effect the stats, the battle or have any bearing on the matter at all, it's still wrong & the cards are still not legit. Honest people have spent time getting their cards - same applies to pokémon in the game.
@8BitSamurai No, it doesn't seem you do get it - if the key animation is wrong, it means the pokémon is hacked & it is therefore NOT at all legit. Legitimate is nothing to do with the stats, it's whether it's a genuine game-spawned unhacked pokémon.
As someone who has spent the time training up a fully IV'd EV'd team for online events, I think it's absurd that someone who at some point cheated is not disqualified... if he turned up to a TCG event with photcopied cards he'd have been kicked out. We're not talking about someone who may have "accidently" made a mistake, if he's into pokémon enough to attend 3-4 nationals then he'd know that his pokémon was dodgy.
@TheWPCTraveler I understand that a touch interface could be good, as an alpha tester for Minecraft PE though (and someone who has played Pocket Edition long before that), I can tell you that it adds little to the game so far. Also take into consideration that due to the technical limitations of the WiiU you'll lose a large amount of the PC version's features - infinite worlds, mods, weekly updates (snapshots), world generation, full open servers, home made skins and a whole lot more. What's worse is that most households will already own a laptop or PC more than powerful enough to run full Minecraft online (as I've said before, I started recording a YouTube series on an old i5 laptop with no graphics card).
@jakysnakydx Oh certainly, I understand the difference between being in trouble & being bankrupt - but when the top executives take pay cuts (Jan 2014)... it's unlikely that Nintendo will cut prices on a successful handheld out of the kindness of their hearts.
As for the "gaming" rig, I built my PC myself for £700 ($1206) and it can run almost any game currently available on full, but this is beside the point as I started recording my Minecraft YouTube series on an old £300 ($525) laptop with NO graphics card, Minecraft is very processor intensive but didn't actually run through the graphics card at all (unless forced too) until a few months ago. Now taking the fact that a 2 year old i5 laptop can run full infinite world Minecraft with it's weekly updates (snapshots), servers, skins and mods... I wouldn't buy a WiiU just for Minecraft - you'll end up paying more & likely get a vastly reduced experience.
I actually have my TV on my computer desk & only watch online TV - I know a couple of my friends that do that, but I understand that it's not currently the norm. I think it's possible that this will become more common as consoles become ever closer to PC's themselves.
@vamkar The only issue with a WiiU version is why play a console version when the PC version will always be superior (and can equally be played on a TV) - let's not forget that while the WiiU is a fantastic console, it's capabilities are closer to a supe'd up 360 than a modern PC.
@maceng There are a few reasons why consoles maintain their original price longer than something like a tablet, partly it's due to the fact there are less avenues to make money. When was the last time Nintendo put an advert for another company in it's game (not counting Mario kart 8 ).
(1)it's not possible to charge companies to produce games for your console... Nintendo was one of the last companies to do this & it's almost destroyed it's third party relations. However Apple & Google CAN charge a small amount for Apps & take a cut of advert revenue as small independent creators don't have the power to say no.
(2)Prices drop when demand drops, whereas tablets last a few months & then sales pretty much STOP, the 3DS & the 3DS XL are still selling in huge quantities. It doesn't make financial sense for Nintendo to drop the price.. especially when the company is still pretty much in crises.
(3)The 3DS was reduced by almost a third within the first few month of it's life due to Nintendo BLOWING THE LAUNCH & then hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds of software was given away for free to people who bought it full price. That £100 price reduction accounts for almost 4 years of your $35 (£21) reduction.
(4)Nintendo actually spend a lot of money in support of the product that tablets don't. With the exception of Apple, most tablet makers simple DON'T have their own online shop or internet support. They rely on Google Play etx to do it for them & this is because it costs a lot of money to create & maintain. It's one of the few areas which make it not SO bad that Apple charge about 33% more than it's competitors.
Anyway, there are more, one of them again pointing out that Nintendo is still in a big financial black hole & can't be reducing prices unless they know it will increase sales... this might work on the WiiU, but as for the 3DS, they're still selling as many as they make.
@randomous No problem, mistakes happen! - I wish I was one of those guys!! Instead I'm a lowley tester & YouTuber.
Odd, I had a SNES up until recently and it had the colourful buttons - were the purple & grey America only?
As for the GBA? Nope - you can get them second hand now for under £20. I'd rather consider buying a few second hand ones & try spray painting them. I can fail 7 times and STILL save money.
@Stumpynuts Lol, afraid not, I eat a lot of processed Western crap, am in my mid 30s and still get called out for being in my late teens or early twenties. It's all in the genetics, my mum was the same.
Gackt is actually HUGE in Japan and not only does a lot of music for some of the biggest kids shows such as Sentai & Kamen Rider... but also guest stars in them, I think he was in one of the Kamen Rider movies. Weirder still, is there is a Kamen Rider Decade version of Megaman... featuring Gackt's music... I LP'd it on my YouTube channel last year!
@Emblem @Raghouse I'm fine that this never came out, it meant that I instead ended up with Buck Rogers on the Megdrive/Genesis which was one of the most amazing, fun RPG experiences I ever had as a young man. It's ridiculously underrated and still have more features than the average space game out now (space battles leading to boarding ships, leading to hacking, leading to upgrading, landing on planets, exploration, etc,etc,etc...).
I'm on the Minecraft PE Alpha team and I can confirm that we're currently testing infinite worlds with pretty much EVERYTHING from the PC version except redstone right now... and it runs on my 2 year old HTC One X.
While the 3DS will never run the full PC version.. or even the latest Pocket Edition, I'm sure there is a compromise that will make it really fun to play. imagine a "secret bases" feature on the 3DS where you can streetpass you house??
@kensredemption Who's making you pay to play online with friends? You CAN get one friend to pay about £7 a month for a server... or Minecraft also allows you to run a server from your PC. It's easy to do AND free.
As for people mentioning the Pocket Edition for 3DS, I'm an Alpha tester for Pocket Edition... it's about to catch up & overtake the 360 version, Infinite Worlds, full online with Realms and all mobs, caves & features are going to be introduced in 0.9.0.
