Solar panels installed on White House roofBy JOSH LEDERMAN
The Associated Press | May 11,2014AP photo
Technicians have finished installing solar panels at the White House.WASHINGTON An array of solar panels blanketing the roof of the White House is getting its day in the sun.
Technicians have finished installing the panels at the nations most famous address, capping a project that President Barack Obama hopes will send a clear signal that renewable energy is both feasible and environmentally shrewd.
Citing security and other concerns, the White House wont say how many panels now encase the top of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or how much they cost. But the panels are expected to generate 6.3 kilowatts of solar power whenever the sun shines, the White House said, improving the buildings energy efficiency.
Obama seeks to use his personal example to spur American families and businesses to do more to reduce reliance on foreign energy and cut emissions blamed for global warming.
Solar panels at the White House are a really important message that solar is here, we are doing it, we can do a lot more, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said in a video released by the White House.
Facing pressure from environmental groups, Obama announced in 2010 he would retrofit his familys new home with solar panels starting in 2011, then use the power generated to heat water for the first family and provide some electricity. But the project remained dark until late 2013, when the installation finally started.
The project required technicians to first drill down to the concrete on the White House roof, then use epoxy glue and threaded rods to install a gridded subassembly onto which the solar panels could be secured. The solar components, converters and the labor to install the panels were all domestic, the White House said, declining to name any of the companies involved in the project.
Being at the White House, we do have some security concerns. We cant cover the entire roof, although that would be good from an energy savings standpoint, said James Doherty, the White House usher.
For some climate change activists, the years of delay underscored a lack of urgency. Bill McKibben of the environmental group 350.org said the project was symbolically significant, but also depressingly protracted.
At this pace, well solve global warming right about the time that were 30 feet under water, McKibben said in an interview.
Obama isnt the first president to deploy solar at the White House. Jimmy Carter spent $30,000 on a solar water-heating system for West Wing offices in the late 1970s, but his successor, Ronald Reagan, tossed the panels after he moved in. George W. Bushs solar systems powered a maintenance building and some of the mansion, plus provided heated water for the pool.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

It's well balanced information that is useful on a daily basis. I'm very satisfied with the Executive Edition. I start each day with SES and a big cup of coffee!- By Tom Ruiz, EVP Sales, Volcom
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
SIA SNOW SHOW: New "Industry + Intelligence" seminar on January 28.
FSG LAWYERS: Represented Brixton in recent transaction with Altamont Capital.
Details on Industry Insight.
Shop-eat-surf talked with Reef President Jeff Moore about changes in Reef's sales structure.
Reef has had several management changes over the past few years and as a result the sales structure has changed as well.
Reef is owned by VF Corp., which reported in a recent earnings conference call that Reef is experiencing a "nice turnaround." In the first quarter, Reef's global revenue rose 18%, and revenue in the Americas increased 21%.
VF named Jeff president in September, 2010.
Reef is going well. There is a tremendous amount of passion, creativity, and general connection with the brand that employees exude on a daily basis. We've spent a lot of time as an executive team over the last eight months ensuring that all departments are clearly aligned with brand strategy and ensuring our decision-making reflects this newfound commitment.
Yes, the sales agency model is what Jim was accustomed to and familiar with and, therefore, implemented the same infrastructure when he arrived at Reef.
We changed it by informing the "Super Reps" 30 days prior to the change that we would be going back to a traditional rep serviced area that reports directly to the Sales Director versus a peer.
Two reasons:
First, since reps are on the "front line" everyday both servicing accounts and elevating our brand, we need to ensure we have a direct connectivity to information versus having a layered communication model.
Secondly, we wanted to ensure our "Super Reps" focused on their own regions to continue our brand growth without having distractions of managing other territories.
Our retail partners are very supportive of our brand and just want to ensure, regardless of structure, we deliver on time, offer a high level of service, and follow through with our commitments. I believe we will have a higher success rate with our current sales structure.

->''"Wait. Wait forever... The seal for No.3 will be removed."''
-->-- '''Hint room''', ''VideoGame/TheGuardianLegend''
The waiting puzzle is a StockVideogamePuzzle which the player solves by simply remaining in a certain area for probably at least 15 seconds. This often turns into a serious GuideDangIt if no hints are given that the room is special and it's not obvious what impasse would be removed.
Some versions of this puzzle involve an {{NPC}} inching slowly across the screen, whose actions will set the EventFlag, while the player stands by.
Closely related is the balancing act puzzle, in which the player must remain within a demarcated but unstable area for a certain time period while struggling to counteract gravity or other forces.
The inverse of TimedMission, and a form of FakeLongevity. SheatheYourSword is related, as it's essentially a Waiting Puzzle translated into a BossBattle format.
If waiting is your primary means of collecting resources and making progress, then you most likely have an IdleGame.
A form of RewardingInactivity. See also WeWait and YouWereTryingTooHard.
* ''VideoGame/{{La-Mulana}}'' has a bunch of these:
** Unlocking Baphomet's ankh requires waiting around in the Twin Labyrinths room diametrically opposite (and not directly connected) to the BossRoom.
** The most annoying part of a multi-part puzzle in the Confusion Gate requires waiting for a {{Mook}} to random-walk into a conspicuous piece of scenery.
** Getting the Ocarina requires pausing the game in a certain spot while holding the pregnant statue and waiting for Lemeza to go to sleep.
** Near the end of BrutalBonusLevel, one must wait about a minute to get a colored block to appear. It must be done 3 times.
** This is how the ankh jewel in the [[BuildLikeAnEgyptian Temple of the Sun]] is obtained. The player idles underneath the eye of Udjat.
* ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' (the game): In the Japanese Rock Garden, you have to not do ''anything'', not even move the cursor, for like a minute. Then a hand appears from the sand to give you [[PlotCoupon an item]]. '''You must not take it.''' The hand goes away. You have to ''continue to be idle'' for another minute, then the hand reappears and you can then take the item. If you continue to do nothing after that, the game will complain at you for not doing anything.
* The PuzzleBoss fight against Gogo in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV''. He is, well, a ''mimic'' if you attack him physically, he'll counter with an overwhelming physical attack. If you attack with magic, he'll counter with an overwhelming magical attack. The only way to beat him is to do absolutely nothing for nearly a minute... made all the harder from the fact that you're fighting underwater and have a timer counting down to when you drown.
* Several of the hunts in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' require you to stay in one area for a set amount of time before the marks appear-- generally long after you've had enough time to clear the area of enemies several times over and leave.
* ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' has a hidden secret that involves a cloud drifting for up to ''two hours'' to get from one side of the level to the secret.
* One of the branching pathways in ''VideoGame/WarioLand II'' is unlocked when the player, rather than hitting a button to wake up in the first level, stays asleep for 10 seconds and having the villains carry Wario out of his house.
* A puzzle in ''[[{{Myst}} Riven: The Sequel To Myst]]'' requires you to ''slowly'' advance on some seal-like creatures. Since movement in ''Riven'' is punctuated, not continuous, this means you wait ten seconds... then click... then wait ten seconds... then click...
** Luckily it isn't entirely necessary for the plot that you complete it, it only gives you an extra hint to another puzzle (there is an immobile hint in the same area for the same puzzle).
* The climactic puzzle in the single-player version of ''[[{{Myst}} Uru: The Path of the Shell]]'' requires that you stand on a particular spot without moving for fifteen minutes. There are only very subtle clues that this is what you need to do. The multiplayer version has a different path to this ending which doesn't involve waiting.
** There is another puzzle in ''The Path of the Shell'' which also requires that you wait fifteen minutes while some pellets cook. But at least you can explore the rest of the game while you are waiting. However, the multiplayer version dials it up a notch, requiring you to wait ''four hours''.
** Another multiplayer-only puzzle requires you to wait for an event which happens approximately once every 24 hours! At least in that case, the puzzle is about figuring out ''when'' the event happens, so you can go to the right place just before the expected time.
* There's a level in ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'' where one of the bosses consists of two dancing zombies that don't attack and can't be killed. If you wait long enough, they'll disappear, and then you can move on.
* In ''VideoGame/TheGuardianLegend'', one of the corridors is unsealed this way.
* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', Crono gets arrested fairly early in the game. You can either wait three (in-game) days until your execution or you can attempt to escape by ticking off the guards. It is considerably easier to wait three days due to [[BigDamnHeroes some well-timed intervention]].
** An earlier example: While Marle is getting candy at the Millennial Fair, don't move. Specifically, don't move away from her, but it's way easier just to wait 15 seconds.
* At one point in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', while you are infiltrating Viper Manor, a guard asks for a password and a dialog box pops up with a few plausible-sounding choices. The ''correct'', choice, however, is to not pick any of the options and just wait a few seconds instead, as the correct password is silence.
* In the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', Barry will accidentally drop the rope he was using to hoist up Jill and leave to find another. If you played through Chris' game first, you might be tempted to just move the tombstone and head into the basement, but that guarantees Barry will not survive the game. If you want him to live, you ''must'' wait; he'll come back.
* To return to the tutorial level in ''Dark Souls'', the player has to sit curled up in a bird's nest for thirty seconds. A giant crow will then pick the character up and fly away.
* Almost any time you're captured and imprisoned in a ''Franchise/MetalGear'' game, one of the options to escaping is to wait for someone to bust you out.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', you can defeat one boss just by waiting out the battle due to the boss being so damn old. Alternatively, just save, change your [=PS2's=] internal clock to a week in the future, load your save, and pat yourself on the back.
** Similarly, you can "defeat" a later boss by just waiting while underwater, thus drowning yourself. It's a ''MindScrew'' boss, but it's expected given the series title.
* One of the microgames in the ''[[VideoGame/WarioWare WarioWare Inc.]]'' stage of ''[[SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' requires you to stand completely still for a few seconds, in the middle of a fight, to receive a bonus. It is a re-creation of a genuine microgame from the series proper.
* One of the three penultimate bosses in NeverwinterNights Shadows of Undrentide is invincible unless you wait for its magical defenses to go down. If you walk too close to it before that happens it starts [[ZergRush spawning zombies]] and is ''still'' invincible.
* The final stage in ''VideoGame/{{Depict1}}'' [[spoiler: puts the player back at the start of the game]]. Entering the level goal nets you a BadEnding, but if you wait near it for a short while, it will disappear and you will be able to proceed to the game's ''real'' finale.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' has one of these as well. You can leave the FloatingContinent as soon as you reach the airship... [[spoiler:and you'll [[LostForever leave Shadow behind on the falling island.]] He arrives at the airship with 5 seconds remaining in the clock.]]
* In ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', the 'password' to Belch's base is standing in a waterfall and doing nothing for three minutes.
** Later on, the only way to complete Poo's Mu training is to sit in one spot and ignore the [=NPCs=] urge you to get down. Fitting, as "Mu" means "Nothingness".
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', in order to get to Regice, you examine a wall that has a message in Braille, and then wait for two minutes.
** For this one, you may even open the door while decoding the riddle itself.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Alundra 2}}'' this puzzle existed in a cave about halfway through the game, and was required to move on.
* The DOS-version of ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia1'' has an odd waiting puzzle, and considering the whole game is a TimedMission you generally don't want to spend time loafing around. [[spoiler: At then end of the twelfth level, you first have to SheatheYourSword to defeat your own shadow, by some considered a GuideDangIt. Directly afterwards, you have to walk or jump straight into thin air, which appears to be sure death, if not for ground materializing beneath you. How is this a waiting puzzle? If you make this jump before the melding is complete, you will instead simply fall to your death. Of course, you'll have to trial and error this at the end of a fairly long level.]]
** Another level has a more straightforward waiting puzzle, where you have to wait for the princess' pet mouse to open a door for you. At this point, there isn't much else to do, though, except start exploring and possibly dying in the process. The timing is really tight, such that it's actually possible to get out without any help if you don't waste time, and you might figure you are supposed to restart the level and do it quicker. At least, the mouse's intervention is foreshadowed in a cutscene which you might or might not have skipped and the wait isn't terribly long.
* While it isn't required to complete the game, you can get an achievement in ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2008'' if you wait for a minute without moving or pressing any buttons [[spoiler:while holding Elika's dead body]].
** Same thing in ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}''--you get an achievement for waiting in [[spoiler:Wheatley's]] first puzzle room and refusing to solve it.
** And in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' you get an achievement for waiting a minute while [[spoiler:paying your respects at the site of his parents' death]].
** Similarly, in ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}'', you get a trophy if you and your companion sit down facing each other and meditate for 20 seconds at any point in the game.
* In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' there is a variant of this in the Fourth Kalpa of the Labyrinth of Amala. There is an old man inside a maze, and he asks if you want to hang out for a few minutes and slow down for a bit and wait. Answering either 'Yes' or 'No' will make him kick you out of that section of the Kalpa. [[spoiler: Waiting three minutes, then answering 'Yes' will make him thank you, and let you through to get a very nice item.]]
* In the video game based on ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'', there's an achievement for sitting on the sofa with your girlfriend until she falls asleep, and another for watching the entire movie on the TV.
* You get ''thirteen'' achievements in ''VideoGame/AchievementUnlocked'' for not doing anything after starting the game.
* However, even that is topped by ''Don't Shoot the Puppy'' Flash game, in which ''any'' interaction with the PC (no even involving the Flash object in the browser) will shoot the eponymous puppy for an immediate GameOver.
* In ''{{Anachronox}}'', to get [[RobotBuddy PAL-18's]] best weapon, you have to let him play in the Moon Burger ball pit for FOUR HOURS. And even longer (seven hours total) for the Shadow Bracers. And since you can't leave the area while he's playing...
* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', there is a minor waiting puzzle in one of the later dungeons. There is an Armos Knight blocking the way forward, but as a nearby Owl Statue advises, if you just sit there for a bit he'll move.
* In ''VideoGame/SpiritualWarfare'', there's an old woman on the casino strip who quotes a Bible verse about how you should wait patiently if you want what you don't yet have. If you take her advice and stay put for about 15 seconds, a car will pull out and drive off, revealing a hidden shop where you can get more '''[[MundaneMadeAwesome Mighty Grapes]]'''.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' has a set of VR missions including mystery investigations where you have to pick out a murder suspect out of a lineup based on evidence in the room. The last mission only has the victim's corpse and no suspects. Wait for ''ten'' minutes and the victim will just stand up, showing that there's no mystery to be solved.
* The Newgrounds game ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/499695 OCD+]]'' is based on taking this to its logical extreme: ''K'' requires the player to hold the K button and do nothing else for a full hour, while ''SHUT'' is a 14-hour timer. [[spoiler:Well 15-hour, it did say '''estimated''' time of arrival]]
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' contains a few. One mission requires you to wait and do nothing while a huge bear is attacking you. Also, a master of Alteration magic requires that you wait underwater near him for three in-game hours (six minutes of real time) before he will offer training. Although if the player is an Argonian he will give the training for free since Argonians can breathe underwater without needing to use magic
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' also has a few. One of the Thieves Guild missions involves taking the [[{{MacGuffin}} Skeleton Key]] back to [[OurGodsAreGreater Nightingale]]. After getting to her inner sanctum you have to fall into a death trap hole and wait for two or more minutes until finally the game pulls out the key and unlock the floor.
* In ''ProfessorLaytonAndTheLastSpecter'', Luke warns you that you can't do anything to solve his puzzle. The trick is he means it literally; don't do anything.
* In ''TheTowerOfDruaga'', revealing the item on Floor 21 requires standing still for several seconds.
* To get [[spoiler:Mordack's wand]] in ''VideoGame/KingsQuestV'', you must wait in the library adjacent to Mordack's bedroom (out of the line of sight of the door) until [[spoiler:you see him get in bed and go to sleep, at which point you can return to his bedroom and steal it off his end table.]]
* In ''VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge'', the TreasureMap could only be read without ruining it either by exposing it to sunlight and not touch the controllers ''for an hour'', or by dipping it in water and shouting into the microphone no less than five and no more than ten minutes later.
* One of the secrets in ''{{Hydorah}}'' requires you to randomly wait in a particular boss room for a while after you defeat the boss.
* ''VideoGame/{{Fez}}'' has a clock with ''four'' hands, which take one minute, one hour, one day, and one week, respectively, to complete a revolution. Each hand nets you a prize when it hits "12:00". Good luck with that.
* The fanfic ''FanFic/HitmanMiami'', written as a walkthrough for a fictional game, parodies this by having the player wait at a bus stop "for thirty-five real-time minutes". Later on, this is parodied again:
-->The player must now watch the warehouse for hours on end, waiting for when the non-stereotypical Sikh businessman named Eddie Smith comes around. This may take anywhere from five to eight hours, so it's in the player's best interest to buy a good novel before playing this mission.
* A variation occurs in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', during the DuelBoss fight against Xemnas. The battle begins with Sora and Xemnas running up/down a building towards each other, mirroring how Roxas and Riku did the same in the "Another Side, Another Story" secret movie. A Reaction Command "Clash" will pop up, which will do no damage to Xemnas when used. Wait a second, though, and the command will change to "Break Through", which deals a little damage. Wait another second and it changes to "Finish", which causes Sora to slam Xemnas into the side of the building and do quite a bit of damage. Since most players will hammer Triangle as soon as they see the prompt, this counts as a WaitingPuzzle and a bit of a GuideDangIt as well.
* Getting 100% completion in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' requires you to allow MrExposition to finish telling a very long, not especially relevant story. If he senses you're losing interest -- for instance, if you press the button to hurry his dialogue -- he stops. You have to put down the controller and wait him out.
* There's a quest in ''VideoGame/TheLordOfTheRingsOnline'' where a character asks you to look for boars in a certain area. A 30 minute timer starts ticking down when you accept the quest. Usually, if you don't complete a timed quest in the allotted time you fail and can't try again for a while, so you might be worried if you haven't found any boars when time is about to run out. However, there ''are'' no boars, and you're not ''supposed'' to find any; you just have to spend 30 minutes in the area to convince him you tried.
* One of the quests in the Ancient Arabia section of LegendMUD involves giving a belly dancer a bottle of perfume in exchange for a status award and some pretty decent basic equipment. Unfortunately, you have to give her a bottle for ''each'' item in the five-piece set and it can take up to several ''hours'' for her to randomly make an offer to trade. Savvy players tend to set up a macro triggered by a phrase from her offer dialogue, "follow dancer" and then go read a book or something.
* One level of ''VideoGame/{{Karoshi}}'' traps you in a pit you can't escape from; you must wait one minute before a block falls and crushes you. It's fine in the original game, but its sequel has a 'speed run' in which you complete the first game's levels as quickly as possible, which turns this level from 'filler level' to 'absolutely maddening'.
* In ''[[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Goemon's Great Adventure]]'', one entry pass is collected via standing under a waterfall in a certain town for a certain period of time. Just do that, and it appears.
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'': The quest ''Recruitment Drive'' has one of these. But rather than simply waiting in the one room, you need to wait without moving at all. And there's an hourglass on the nearby table [[SchmuckBait just begging to be picked up]].
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' gets an optional one in the ''Citadel'' DLC when James Vega challenges Shepard to break his record of 182 pull-ups; the player is totally welcome to do this with an [[ActionCommand interrupt]] for each one. [[spoiler:The reward is a short cutscene, and that's it.]]
* Unlocking the last five tracks in the sound test (basically the FinalBoss theme and all the tracks that only play during the ending) in BatenKaitos requires the player to get the Shampoo magus and then hold onto it for ''336 hours of real time'' (when you could easily finish the entire game in less than a quarter of that unless you're trying to go for OneHundredPercentCompletion.) Obviously, the best solution is to just leave the game running for two weeks. Or you could just look up the tracks on YouTube if you're that desperate to hear them.
* In ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'': ''Magical Melody'', getting one of the notes requires you to remain still for five minutes of real time.
* One of the endings of ''VideoGame/TheWitchsHouse'' involves this. To get it, [[spoiler: after the game starts, simply wait where you are for one hour. The roses will wither and die, and you leave.]]
* Idle RPG chatrooms are counterintuitive chatrooms,where you gain experience (and levels) for not saying or doing anything in the chat room. Typing anything in the chat room will typically cause you to lose all experience you've gained since the last level.
* To get the good ending of the online game ''Seven Minutes'', you have to wait [[TitleDrop seven minutes]] in the starting room [[SchmuckBait after touching that cool-looking blue flame]]. Leaving the starting room at any point locks you into the bad ending no matter how many rooms you try to clear after that.
* This is half of a puzzle early in ''VideoGame/IllusionOfGaia''. One room in the Larai Cliffs has a floor of gold tiles, and when Will plays his flute, one tile glows. Will must then stand on that tile for several seconds before a door opens in the southern wall.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Doc Marvel is a kind of spiritual doctor, who believes in the occult. He moves from town to town to present his shows. Harry Diamond rather ridiculed the Doc during a presentation, unveilling one of his tricks in front of everyone. Diamond has the impression of knowing this person. Later we learn that he has been a serious scientist, who worked with the Commodore Faraday among others. He's convinced that the human brain is hardly used. He believes that very few people are able to use the power embedded in the unused portion of the brain. He has spent the last 15 years of his life travelling the country to give his shows (its an entertainer) but to discover paranormal people. He dreams of opening an institute to study and develop these powers. Charlie Starrett is the person with the greatest potential he has never met and he tries to help him believe in him, in his strength. He has once mesmerized Charlie before facing Kronons. It's possible to believe that Doc Marvel is responsible for the emergence of the Captain Paragon.

- Publisher: Yacht Club Games
- Release Date: Jun 26, 2014
- Also On: 3DS, PC
- Summary: Shovel Knight is a sweeping classic action adventure game with memorable characters and an 8-bit retro aesthetic created by Yacht Club Games. You play as the eponymous Shovel Knight, a small knight with a huge quest. Shovel Knight has come to this valley with two goals: to defeat the evil Enchantress and save his lost beloved. He wields a ShovelBlade; a multipurpose weapon whose techniques have now been lost to the ages. Always honest and helpful, Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly. However, between Shovel Knight and his beloved stands a cadre of villainous knights. These terrible foes, known as The Order of No Quarter, have been dispatched to prevent Shovel Knight from reaching the Enchantress at any cost.… Expand

Nov 24, 2014It's hard to find something to complain about in Shovel Knight because it does everything it sets out to do perfectly - to an impeccable standard.
Jun 26, 2014But more than anything else, Shovel Knight oozes personality and charm more than any game I've played in recent memory.
Aug 4, 2014I can't help but love Shovel Knight. Maybe it's because it reminds me of why I love gaming; the joy I felt as a kid playing games in a time when graphics and hardware didn't matter. While paying tribute to the classics, Shovel Knight still feels unique with fantastic level designs that are extremely challenging and rewarding to complete.
Jun 26, 2014Yacht Club Games has a hit on its hands with Shovel Knight. With brilliant game design, charming presentation and a ton of content, this is a wonderful first title from the fledgling developer.
Nov 10, 2014Shovel Knight is a well-made action platformer. Old school gamers will love it.
Nov 18, 2014It is a labor of love and homage to classics of the 8-bit-era, where the badass difficulty level of Mega Man is combined with the mystical design of Gargoyles Quest and a catchy chiptune soundtrack.
Jun 26, 2014Shovel Knight is a memorable re-imagining of what I grew up with, but doesn't have the longevity or inventiveness to be great in its own right.

Jul 26, 2014An absolutely incredible tribute to what made retro games so great. It does so many things well on top of that and I still find it hard to describe what exactly makes it so great. A lot of the mechanics are derived from classic NES titles- magic items are a play on castlevania's item system(a few are direct copies) the level design is certainly megaman inspired, down to the league of robot bosses-er knights... the shovel bounce is the same as the ducktales cane bounce... I could go on, but the point is that the game is a masterful blend of the best retro games have to offer. The art I could talk about for days alone. It certainly is 8-bit, but has a wider color palette and just massages your eyeballs. Sound design is also fantastic. There are a whopping 48(!) tracks to make your adventure more diverse. Jake Kaufman's work is masterful and certainly left his mark on this brilliant game. As a masterful chip artist, Kaufman's work on the track is 100% playable on the NES, an amazing feat, I must say. Even the composer of the original Meg a Man, Manami Matsumae made a track for the game, which is just another fantastic fan service. The game itself didn't take me too long to complete, around 6 hours is all it took. I won't say this detracts from the game at all though, it felt like a complete experience to me and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you have the opportunity to pick this game up, do yourself a favor and relive the past!… Expand
Jul 4, 2014this is one of the best games retro inspired games I've played in a while, it really feels like it was a classic brought back from the 80's. Of course the things you could do in the game you could never do on the hardware limitations of the NES, but still. The game has great controls, a heart felt story told through well drawn pixel art cut scenes, and a huge over world with tons of levels to explore and bosses to defeat. I highly recommend this game.… Expand
Nov 26, 2014Awesome game in the vein of Mega Man and Castlevania, with catchy music and just plain fun gameplay. One of the best indies in the last year hands down.… Expand
Jun 26, 2014HE BEST MEGAMAN GAME EVER MADE
Each year there are a plethora of indie titles, many of them which are naturally described as "a love letter to classic gaming". These games, like Mercenary Kings or Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Videogame, try their best to recreate the magic of the NES or SNES era. However, while these other titles attempt to mimic the unique style of these classic titles, Shovel Knight is one of the only ones able to systematically reimagine and perfect the experience. In short, Shovel Knight is a must-get if you are or have ever been a classic gamer.
Shovel Knight Campfire
Shovel Knight began as a Kickstarter campaign by Yacht Club Games in March of last year. The crowdfunding drive was immediately met with critical praise internet-wide and was quickly funded, surpassing most every stretch goal. The obvious question quickly became "Is there any way that Shovel Knight can meet the hype surrounding it?"
I'm here to answer that question today with a resounding "Yes!"
Shovel Knight is of course the tale of blue, spade-toting warrior who is pitted against the major villains of his world: The Enchantress and The Order of No Quarter. The game could easily be described as a Megaman/Metroidvania-esque platformer with a lot more up its sleeve.
While this is Yacht Club Games' first title, they clearly are fluent in the basic mechanics of classic games and what people loved about them. For instance, just like some of the most noteworthy classics (Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man X), Shovel Knight begins with no tutorial — instead it starts with a quick story and a gameplay-centered learning experience. While most indie titles will bog you down with the "how-to's", Shovel Knight knows that any proper way to teach a game is done through gameplay.
Shovel Knight Intro
This is only one way where Shovel Knight brings the best components of older games and uses them as it's own. To name a few extra, the game utilizes overworld maps (Super Mario World), unique collectable weapons (Legend of Zelda and Metroid), hidden secrets and areas scattered throughout every area (Castlevania), and systematic weapon and armor upgrades (Megaman X). While I can go on for more than an hour about this, I would recommend you take a swing at the game and test it out yourself.
While Yacht Club Games has been able to meticulously pick out the best characteristics of old titles, they have also reimagined the "classic gaming" experience to near perfection. Instead of having stock lives and game over screens, Shovel Knight takes the modern approach (best described as Rayman Legends meets Dark Souls) where dying is a mere inconvenience — sending you back to the last checkpoint and momentarily docking your collection of jewels unless you are able to get back to the same point and collect them. This acts as a perfect way to constantly keep gameplay rolling while still incentivizing players to stay alive.
Additionally, the gameplay mechanics of the game are spot on. I am a big critic of platformers with poor mechanics (I'm looking at you Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze and LittleBigPlanet), however Shovel Knight's mechanics feel fluid from the get-go. Within minutes of picking up a controller, classic and casual gamers alike will instantly understand what each control does and how to use it.
Shovel Knight Skelly
Last but not least, I would be remiss without mentioning that Yacht Club Games know how to fully utilize achievements. "But Lou!" you say, "Nintendo platforms don't have achievements!" Doesn't matter — Yacht Club Games made sure to add a "Feats" checklist to every version of the game which are unlockable, despite overarching achievement/trophy support. Further, these feats help to incentivize new play styles instead of acting as mere benchmarks of progress in the game.
The game is worth checking out for more reasons that I can name: pristine level design, the constant awful puns, the beautiful sprite models, the randomly occurring events in the overworld. As I mentioned before, I could go on for hours.
If you are looking for which system to get this Indie title on, I highly recommend the Wii U. While I played the game on all three platforms (Wii U, 3DS, and PC), the Off-TV play, seamless framerate, quick-select of options, multi-controller support, and Miiverse support [will update as it becomes available] makes it easily the best experience. While the 3DS supports StreetPass Battle Arena and a 3D experience, it doesn't ever seem better than the PC version. No matter what system you pick up Steam Knight on, you are guaranteed a great experience.
The Verdict: 9.4 out of 10
Yacht Club Games has proven that they are more fluent in both classic and current game mechanics than most other developers. Shovel Knight not only acts as a love letter to classic gaming, but also the perfection of it. Whether you enjoy indie titles or not, the $15 price tag is well worth the 10-15+ hour experience.… Expand
Aug 6, 2014While there is some value I'm certain many of those reading this can find I cannot this is due to a) me being a new gamer and not having an idea of what this is based off if making it seem like either a total rip off to something heavily inspired I can't connect to b) graphics like these tend to make me nauseous this is something of an issue I have and can take me out of the game a lot c) this was overhyped and for reasons I've mentioned above did not deliver c) the difficulty is inconsistent making a lot of the already rather awkward controls and level design feel more well awkward I would go on but this short game isn't really worth my time and please note my actual score would be a 3 now please note I have played the 3ds and PC versions of the game (all PC but only tried 3ds) the reason I'm putting this on the wii u is because this game is extremely overhyped and needs to be taken back by quite a bit… Expand

... great in recommending places to eat which are out of the main tourist areas with their overpriced restaurants.
Our first afternoon began with lunch at the market (Mercato Centrale) and then finding our way around and making plans for the next two days. Late afternoon we climbed the hill to Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sunset over the city.
We had read that in the busy season people have been known to queue ...

... their pet dogs happily seated in the basket at the front of their push bikes ....... a couple of tourists on those motorised single wheeled, mono bikie, silly looking devices, wafting by...... a shop advertising "Kodak Film" (think technology might have left them behind!)..... and ...... a Chinese couple that came and sat on the next table to us (presumably reasonably affluent, having been able to fund the trip from China!).... actually ...
Gucci and Handbags
... Fi trundles back from the Uffizi and had enjoyed it for a €6.50 entry so I join the line with many others. I have a look around but I just don't enjoy it. I like painting and taking art classes but not staring at them all.
The temperature doesn't seem to drop at all so we don't sleep a wink. I try to sleep on the floor with my face squished on the cooler tiles but to no avail. Bring on accommodation with air ...
Finding Armenia
... gelato combination (chocolate and coffee) and we are all good to see the Uffizi.
Roberta (said by Pop as RRoberrrrtaaa, with an Italian accent and hand flourish) was our guide. She was excellent, very knowledgeable about the Medici family and clearly thrived on taking people on these VIP Vasari Corridor tours, she kept referring to "we will be treated like special visitors, just like the Medici – we will be in the corridor by ourselves etc ...
Florence and the Statue
... was so good. His muscle definition was impressive and how it was carved is beyond what our minds can fathom. His head, hands and feet seemed to be bigger, and therefore out of proportion with the rest of his body. We're sure there is some important artistic reason for this, but we don't know what it is... We spent quite a bit of time staring at this masterpiece. Then we checked out the rest of the museum. Interestingly enough, there was a painting in this museum ...

Milwaukee Brewers' Corey Hart Had Successful Right Knee Surgery
Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Corey Hart had successful right knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
It was announced Monday Hart will miss the rest of spring training and the start of the season with a right knee injury. It will be the second consecutive year Hart will start the season on the disabled list. It should take approximately four weeks to heal which means he will not be ready when the Brewers open the season up against the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park on April 6.
It is unfortunate for the Brewers because they wanted to give Hart time at first base in spring training in case call-up Mat Gamel does not pan out in replacing Prince Fielder. Manager Ron Roenicke has stated he will still be giving players opportunities at first so that he will have multiple options once the season starts if something were to go wrong.
Taylor Green and Brooks Conrad, two players fighting for spots on the 25-man roster, will be given time at first over the next few weeks. Also, Travis Ishikawa is another possibility to play the position and has emerged as quite the hitter after homering against the San Francisco Giants Monday night after he replaced Gamel in the lineup. Ishikawa mostly has experience playing in the outfield as he did for the Giants so he will also see time out there during spring training.
"It's not something that we're saying, 'You're a first baseman and we're going to experiment with you in the outfield; [Ishikawa's] played the outfield," Roenicke said. "So he'll play the outfield."
There is no doubt the Brewers have several talented players that can play different positions which will make things interesting once it is time to start making cuts.

More Help with Dried Shrimp
- daily_unadventures Mar 1, 2007 02:20 PM
I have only tried to use dried shrimp once and it didn't go very well - maybe someone can help?
I made the Pad Thai recipe from February's Cookbook of the month Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet but the dried shrimp came out rubbery and inedible. The instructions called for me to stirfry them over high heat for 30 seconds towards the end. Which is what I did. I want to attempt it again tonight but I am hesitant to add the shrimp.
What did I do wrong? Any pointers?
Did you soak the dried shrimp? You are supposed to soak it overnight, or at least for 4+ hours or more.
lol. I knew this was going to be a stupid question. But there is absolutely no reference to soaking them in the recipe. I figured it would at least say "1T dried shrimp, soaked" if that was the case. Whew. Okay. Well I guess they aren't going in tonight's dinner at any rate.
"I knew this was going to be a stupid question."
When in doubt
Ask and find out.
The stupid questions are the ones that are NOT asked. Your question and WHills' response are going to be of help to me also. I just bought dried shrimp today. Neither the package nor the recipe for which I intend to use them explains that they need to be soaked. So thanks to both of you for the question and the answer.
I've used dried shrimp in many Chinese dishes and always pre-soaked, then chopped them finely. I think even soaked they are very chewy. Here's an excellent, blow-by-blow description of how to make pad thai which doesn't use dried shrimp, but fresh which is what I've always used and been served in restaurants:
re: cheryl_h
Actually, the descripton mentioned by cheryl_h on chez pim's blog DOES use dried shrimp though it is optional in the recipe. The blow-by-blow description does not mention soaking and suggests using a stone mortar and pestle on the dried shrimp "until fluffy"
re: wingsofdesire
Has anyone been able to get this to work? I grinded away and could barely break my dried shrimp, let alone get it "fluffy". I am hesitant to use my food processor because chez pim specifically warns against it:
"It's important to use the mortar here and not your cuisinart, which will turn to dried shrimp into hard, dried chunks (entirely capable of cracking a tooth) instead of fluffy bits of salty shrimp."
The package expires next year and I have rehydrated the dried shrimp and tasted to make sure the shrimp are not bad.
I've never soaked mine. The pad thai recipe that I use calls for grinding them with the peanuts and pickled radish and sprinkling that in at the end.
re: C. Hamster
I agree. If your dried shrimp are really, really hard (most of the asian dried shrimps are), you can whizz 'em in the food processor to make a "fluffy" dried shrimp that works well as a garnish. Louisiana dried shrimp aren't as thoroughly dried out as the asian ones, and the LA kind almost always have their shells removed. They make excellent beer munchies, and they add a nice savory counterpoint to simple veggie dishes like smothered squash or potatoes.
re: bmorecupcake
It's been quite a while since I've made this (my last post on this was 3 years ago), but I recall grinding the dried shrimp in the food processor along with the peanuts and maybe even the pickled radish and sprinkling it on top. I have no idea what brand of shimp I used, and doubt that I would find the same brand twice at my Asian market.
re: bmorecupcake
Larger dried shrimp tend to be softer than the smaller ones. You really need to smash them up rather than chopping. If you are having problems smashing them up in a mortar and pestle, then it will be too hard to eat anyway. As a last resort, soften by steaming (instead of soaking) so that the requisite saltiness isn't washed away. Otherwise, buy some softer ones. Unfortunately, I can't offer you a brand name because I tend to buy my shrimp from a bin at Asian groceries where I live. Here I can get it in about 5-6 grades and sizes (the smallest being the cheapest).
I prefer to not omit because when I use it as an ingredient, I'm usually aiming for authenticity in the dish. And I like the flavour and texture it imparts. If you are not a fan, then just leave it out.
re: fmed
I tried different sizes and brands, with varying success (probably depending on how much energy I have that day.) And then i found some really tiny ones which come with the heads on. These ones break really easily, but they don't fluff up like the others. I didn't use them yet because they didn't look fluffy. Are these tiny shrimp for something else?
re: bmorecupcake
It's hard to give a general answer to that question. It really depends on the particular cuisine and/or dish...and more importantly, it depends on the actual product.
If you can't work these particular small ones into this particular recipe, use them in spice pastes or add to soups, stews, etc. Next time you go out shopping try some fairly large ones (which tend to be more "fibrous" and thus end up fluffier when pounded.)
How big are your shrimp? I buy the tiniest kind and use them as a garnish - miso soup, sprinkled over rice, in omelets, in carbonara type dishes, etc, without soaking or grinding.

Explore your cosmic makeup with a Free Astrology Birth Chart report to better understand yourself and improve your relationships.
Hexagram of the Day
38: Diverging Interests
An image of estrangement is indicated here. One example used in ancient Chinese texts is how when brothers and sisters marry, they grow apart, since their allegiances now lie with new family groups. Though they will remain close enough to successfully deal with problems and share minor interests, they will be unable to undertake anything big together. Simply put, when people grow apart — even for the most natural of reasons — their points of view, values and interests start to diverge.
Diverging interests bring opposition into the world of human affairs. And when differences morph into alienation and enmity, no good results. But when opposition takes the form of healthy competition, or when contrasting energies or positions are seen as part of the natural order of things, good fortune is still possible.
Even when diverging energies make a situation seem stagnant or futile, there are always creative possibilities inherent in polarities. One is reminded of the yin-yang interplay that is fundamental to the creation of life itself. But when opposition arises from issues of principle, you must hold to your integrity and individuality. And avoid becoming involved with vulgar or base people who do not share your values. With both people and companies, one measure of stature is the quality of the competition.
