No Tears for Wizardry Online? August 1, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Misc MMOs, Sony Online Entertainment.

I am sure somewhere out there, somebody is angry, sad, or otherwise feeling an emotional effect because Wizardry Online closed its doors yesterday.
I am sure because I have found that even the worst, most widely despised feature in any MMO ends up being somebody's favorite feature. And you find out exactly who they are the moment it goes away because they show up on the forums wanting to know what happened.
So I feel quite confident that somebody, somewhere loved SOE's imported Wizardry Online MMO.
It just wasn't me.
But I pretty much guessed that was going to be the case before the game showed up in the SOE lineup back in 2013.
For me, this is Wizardry:
Wizardry is something that exists in the context of the distant past along with a lot of hand-drawn graph paper maps and things I described in a post.
So Wizardry in MMO form… or at least in Asian import MMO form with anime style characters… never had a chance with me. I wrote me feelings about it, acknowledging that my assessment was unfair in the title.
Unlike my previous post, where I eulogized Vanguard and tried to describe its place in the history of the genre, I cannot really place Wizardry Online. Why SOE chose to publish it, why they decided to close it down after a year and a half, and all the questions in between are unanswered for me. And, unlike Vanguard, I do not see any posts out there in my corner of the blogesphere mourning its departure.
Who will speak for Wizardry Online? Who has some final words?
Where is PoliticallyIncorrectJessica now?

Bloodbath at SOE – Four Titles Closing Down, PlanetSide Goes F2P January 24, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Sony Online Entertainment, Vanguard SOH.

In one of those "Good news, bad news, more bad news, even more bad news, how about a tiny bit of good news, now can I bring up some more bad news" scenarios, Sony Online Entertainment announced that they had finalized their plans for their change over of all subscriptions types to the full boat SOE All Access plan, which they fumbled on earlier in the month, but which will now be just $14.99 a month and which will still come with a 500 Station Cash monthly stipend.
There is a new FAQ up in the official SOE forums describing the plan., which will be put in place "on or about" April 2, 2014. (No April Fools Jokes for SOE!)
Down in the FAQ there are a few rather less-than-minor details, like the fact that SOE will be closing down four of their games. Those on the list:
- Free Realms – Closing March 31, 2014
- Star Wars: Clone War Adventures – Closing March 31, 2014
- Wizardry Online - Closing July 31, 2014
- Vanguard: Saga of Heroes – Closing July 31, 2014
So SOE is going to expand their "all the MMOs you can eat" plan while at the same time cutting back on the number of MMOs on the menu.
I always say, there will be plenty of time for recriminations later. I expect a lot to bubble up after this. I await the SynCaine post on the F2P business model for openers.
As for the games themselves, I never really played any of them for any long duration, so my feelings on the closures are pretty subdued.
Clone Wars Adventures was an adjunct to a TV show that is no longer on the air, plus EA snagged the rights to all Star Wars video games in May of last year, so this one closing isn't a real surprise. It will just stand as a lesson in not investing in virtual hats.
Free Realms was never a thing for me. My daughter played it for a bit until they broke the Mac OSX client one too many times, which weaned her from the game. She had a lifetime membership, which I am sure means nothing. This was SOE's first game designed to be free to play, one Smed wanted to play with his kids. I guess the kids grew up in the last five years.
Wizardry Online was awful in my opinion, but I came in saying I am not big on Asian imported MMOs. I won't miss this one at all. I am surprised it made it this long. I am, however, counting it towards my prediction that more than half a dozen crap Asian F2P MMOs will fold up shop this year in the US market.
And then there is Vanguard. There is a bit of strange timing here, with Brad McQuaid launching a Kickstarter for a new game just as his last one is finally getting the axe. I was comparing him to Mark Jacobs and Lord British in that their first MMOs were good and their second MMOs got the axe… except for Vanagurd. Well, now the comparison is complete.
Surprisingly, the original PlanetSide did NOT get the axe. I have no idea why. I would have put it on that list first thing. But it is a Smed favorite I guess.
In fact, they are going to make it a free to play title. They are actually expending some effort on that ghost town. Did they learn nothing when they converted Vanguard?
So, in the end, the shiny SOE All Access subscription plan to be introduced "on or about" April 2 will buy you gold memberships to:
- EverQuest
- EverQuest II
- PlanetSide
- PlanetSide 2
- DC Universe Online
And I think with this move, SOE has stolen the crown from NCSOFT for the most closed MMOs. Because SOE.
Addendum: Oh, and I apparently forgot about the completely forgettable Dragon's Prophet in the SOE lineup. When did Asian imports become a thing for SOE? Anyway, it just opened late last year, so it was probably too soon to shut it down contractually. But it looks like it ranks with Wizardry Online when it comes to potential.

Milestones: In with Wizardry Online, Out with Pirates of the Burning Sea January 31, 2013Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Sony Online Entertainment.

Wizardry Online is now a live, full fledged member of the SOE stable of games.
While it doesn't really bring back the spirit of the original Wizardry for me… and really isn't my cup of tea… it is now part of the line up, free to play if you want or as a subscription or part of SOE's All Access Pass.
It remains to be seen if this title will bring a lasting dungeon crawl experience or if their concept of "permadeath" will be a compelling feature. We shall see whether it lights a fire or languishes in the shadow of SOE's other fantasy MMORPG titles.
Stropp has been in there for day one fun, if you are looking for a report on that. He does mention that the "connecting" issue, that so many people have arrived here searching for, appears to be SOE completely lacking any sort of informative "you're in the login queue" messaging. You just sit there "connecting" until it is your turn.
Meanwhile, Pirates of the Burning Sea is taking its leave from SOE.
Flying Lab Software will no longer be the developer and SOE no longer the publisher of this title. The following announcement went out to those of us still on their mailing list:
Ahoy there!
As you may know, Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS) will be leaving SOE's family of games at the end of the month and setting sail with Portalus Games. Portalus may be a new name, but the people behind it are veterans of Flying Lab who love the game. They have banded together to form a new company whose sole focus is PotBS, and will continue running, developing, and expanding the game into the future.
I'm personally very excited about Portalus and I'm looking forward to where they'll be taking PotBS, but it will be as a player, not as a member of the development team. I've had a lot of great moments in the development of Pirates, and while the details of these moments are wildly varied, they all revolve around the same thing: interacting with you, the players. We decided to build an MMO because we wanted to have a more direct relationship with our players, and PotBS came through in spades. I've enjoyed going out, and meeting and talking with so many of you, and I wouldn't trade a moment of it for the world.
I want to thank all of you for your support, and if one day you're sailing on the open seas, and you meet a grizzled old Pirate who talks about the old days, think a kindly thought for me. Then give him a broadsides and take his ship!! See you on the Burning Seas!
Russell Williams
- Co-Founder Flying Lab
Accounts can be migrated to the new company, which takes over today. The SOE servers will go down at 10:30pm PST. Instructions on how to migrate your account are on the Portalus Games web site.
While Potshot and I were there at launch and before with the pre-boarding pass (and once again adopting the French faction), the game never really stuck with us.
The ship to ship combat was very good. It was about all you could expect from such a game and then some.
Most other aspects of the game fell flat for us however. Ship boarding combat was dull, the economy was convoluted, the strategic game was broken, and even finding ship to ship battles was unsatisfying. In less than a month we felt adrift in the burning sea, rudderless and uninterested in where the current might take us. And so we left the game, though it sailed on.
And while I always intended to come back and check on how things had progressed after our short time in the game, it never came to pass. There are always more games to play than time in which to play them.
As with Wizardry Online, the future remains to be written. Will this be a rebirth for the now five year old game, or has it merely been moved to hospice care where it can die quietly?
An Unfiltered (and Unfair) Impression of Wizardry Online December 7, 2012Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Misc MMOs.

Now that the beta NDA is down, I can share my reaction to Wizardry Online.
This is the content of an email I sent to Potshot, November 13, 2012, which constitutes my initial, and only, impression of the game.
Somebody sent me a beta key so I tried it last week. I think I am finally able to speak of it now.
Basically, every negative preconception you have about the game is true. Horrible scantily dressed, all-looks-alike anime character models, including the requisite Down's Syndrome gnomes.
Bizarro world controls. It is WASD, but W isn't "move forward," it is "move north."
A camera view that is completely uninterested in whatever the hell you are doing.
And you don't even get to start experiencing all that until you get through 10 minutes (though it seems like an hour) of really bad exposition unworthy of even the most half-assed, shown after midnight anime series you can think of.
Let me tell you, the idea of the blissful release that permadeath might bring you could be the only motivation to play the game.
The whole thing is just a cat-girl race away from simply being DOMO taking a crap on a classic Apple ][ video game.
I am not sure if I actually played the game, or just dreamed that I played something so bad. Yet there is the icon on my desktop.
That was my gut reaction to the game.
Of course, that email is full of errors. The so-called "Down's Syndrome gnomes" are actually the Prokul, and not gnomes at all. And they apparently do not actually suffer from Down's Syndrome, or any other genetic related malady. In fact, they seem to enjoy it.
I do not know what the affinity is for little races with melon heads is in Asia, but it is clearly not to my taste. You can see some of the other character models as well.
Meanwhile, gnomes are really just female dwarves… with horns… and other features. Somebody tell Brasse she's a gnome! I dare you!
"Naturally!" I hear you say, "Of course gnomes have horns!"
Their aura is enhance by the soft core porn style soft focus effect. You can almost see the Vaseline on the lens filter.
And the controls aren't actually absolute, but relative to the camera. DOMO, which I mentioned, is Dream of Mirror Online, another not-quite-westernized Asian import that I tried (and never wrote about) which had a similar control scheme. Another clearly regional distinction.
Still, not exactly an in-depth review of a game I probably wasn't going to like anyway.
But given my affinity for the original, I had to go and take a look. It might be the hardcore dungeon crawler somebody is looking for, but it was too hard on the senses for me to get far enough to find out. The Wizardry franchise has taken a different path since I played back on my Apple ][+.
If you want somebody who gave the game a fair shake, Tipa has you covered. (She also has you covered if you want to read something about DOMO.) As does Stropp now. And there is the official wiki, because SOE has partnered with Wikia for the moment. (Didn't SOE partner with Zam previously for something like this? How did that work out?)
Anyway, not a game for me. But not every game has to be for me. There are plenty of other MMO choices out there.
(Though I am not going start wringing my hands about there being too many games out there in the eternal search for the reason PC game game market is dying. I think PC gaming has been "dying" for the last 20 years.)
Somebody will enjoy the game I am sure, and I will be interested to see if it does turn out to be a decent dungeon crawler for those who can handle the art style.
Have you given it a try yet?

I must admit to a bit of a mental disconnect when I think of Wizardry Online, a new game that SOE will be publishing this year.
For me, Wizardry brings this image to mind.And, well… not this.
The first Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, was one of the first games I acquired for my Apple back in 1983. This, along with Ultima III, was one of the first games I really played to death. I still have hand drawn and annotated graph paper maps of the whole dungeon sitting in a drawer in my office. They look something like this, though not as neat.
And the game itself, on the Apple II… here it is full resolution.
Not a lot of pixels on an Apple ][ screen. That was back when we measured screens by the numbers rows and columns they could display, 24 rows and 80 columns being the standard, though the Apple ][+ only did 40 by default. I did not get 80 columns until I upgraded to an Apple //e a year or so later.
The game, which appears on Gamasutra's 20 Essential RPGs to Study list, is a dungeon crawl in almost the purest form. It taught you to map, advance cautiously, and to be patient. After many a death in the dungeon, with whole parties being lost and unrecoverable, you learned to build up your strength and return to town frequently.
It also taught party structure, as only the first few characters in your party could come to grips directly with the enemy, while those behind were left to defense or support roles. Hints of the holy trinity were visible more than 20 years before WoW.
And, of course, it taught me the phrase, "Cheap Apostates! Out!" You got that message when you were short of money for healing or reviving at the monastery. I got that message a lot early on.
As I said, I played the hell out the game, finished it, and pretty much moved on. I think I may have purchased the next game in the series, Knight of Diamonds, but I don't think I ever got into it. I certainly never went beyond that, and the series went out to Wizardry 8, which came out just a decade back.
Instead I went on with Ultima IV, Bard's Tale, and Wasteland for RPGs. And then online gaming showed up and became a focus of mine.
So my memories of Wizardry are of the first game alone, causing me make a nearly 30 year mental jump to get caught up to what is being proposed now for Wizardry Online and what it has to offer. And the web site helpfully offers up three great reasons to play.
Well, three allegedly great reason, though I would argue that the first two are not well stated. I would have written the list as:
- An MMORPG designed for hardcore players!
- Permadeath puts an edge on your decisions!
- Amazing graphics!
Oddly, the first two are totally in line with my memories of the original game. Wizardry was hardcore, with no maps, no easy travel, and corpse retrievals if your whole party was wiped out. And you could fail to revive, thus lose characters permanently.
The third, well… I am not sure ~I~ would emphasize the anime influence of the graphical style. I am not opposed to it myself, but it does tend to be one of those polarizing issues.
But there it is, Wizardry Online. You can sign up for beta if you are impatient. Otherwise SOE is pegging it for a 2012 release, and it will surely be "Free To Play – Your Way" as is the SOE norm, which generally means "Cheap Apostates must be hounded ceaselessly until they subscribe!"
Having missed the entire middle of the Wizardry saga, I will be interested to see exactly where this title lands. Massively looked at the title over a year ago at E3, but who knows what has changed since then.
If it is really true to the original, a hardcore (whatever that really means these days), party based, dungeon crawler, it could be something interesting to try out.

Until April 14, families and individuals throughout Acadiana with a combined household income of $51,000 or less can have their taxes prepared for free and learn if they qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
IRS-certified and trained volunteers are available to prepare taxes at Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites that include:
• ASSIST Agency in Crowley
• Continuous Links in Ville Platte
• SMILE in New Iberia
• SMILE in Lafayette
• Acadiana High School
• Continuous Links in Opelousas
• The Southwest Center for Rural Initiatives
• SMILE in St. Martinville
• St. Mary CAA Central Office
• ASSIST Agency in Abbeville
"Connecting individuals and families to services that help them keep the money they have earned is a step toward helping them gain financial stability," explained Jason Huffman, director of impact strategies at United Way of Acadiana. "Being financially stable can put families in a better position to handle a crisis, such as a job loss, illness, natural disaster or other unforeseen expenses. Because of this service and financial education opportunities, Acadiana can become a more prosperous place for us all."
Last year, volunteers prepared 2,632 federal returns. Of those, 1,032 EITC-eligible returns were filed, returning more than $1.9 million in tax credits being returned back to Acadiana residents. Each year, on average, more than $30 million in Earned Income Tax Credits go unclaimed in Acadiana.
The following items are needed to prepare taxes:
• photo ID
• original social security card or ITIN
• all W2s
• any other tax-related documents

Christine McVie rejoins Fleetwood Mac, tour set
The Mac is back!
Yes, Fleetwood Mac returned to a regular touring schedule years ago, but its upcoming shows are extra special because Christine McVie is back from retirement.
The "On With the Show" tour, which starts Sept. 30 in Minneapolis and includes an Oct. 6 show at Madison Square Garden and Oct. 11 at Prudential Center, will be Christine McVie's first tour with the band since 1998's "The Dance" tour.
She said the idea for a return came after joining the band for its London show at the O2 Arena last year. "It was so comfortable being back onstage with them as if no time had passed, and then we all started talking and it feels like the time is right," McVie said in a statement. "I'm really happy."
The rest of Fleetwood Mac -- singer Stevie Nicks, guitarist/singer Lindsey Buckingham, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie -- have publicly and privately wished for Christine McVie's return since her exit due to a fear of flying.
"As far as we're concerned, she's never really left," the band said in a joint statement. "We are overjoyed to have Christine back on stage with us."
Tickets go on sale April 7 at 10 a.m. through Live Nation. American Express cardholders can start purchasing pre-sale tickets on March 31 at 10 a.m.

Is Denver's 4/20 event still necessary?
Posted By DP Opinion On February 27, 2014 @ 5:01 pm In Letters | No Comments
The 4/20 marijuana rally is an anachronism, as buying and smoking marijuana is now legal in Denver, albeit the smoking part must be in private. Isn't it time the marijuana activists give the rest of us a break from their insistent noise? Their need of media attention is beginning to seem like a request for free advertising rather than reasonable laws.

KINGSTON, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Upsets dominated the headlines in Roane Co. on Thursday as two incumbents were toppled.
State Rep. Julia Hurley fell to Kent Calfee in the Republican primary for the 32nd District, which also extends into Loudon Co.
"It's very exciting, there's been a lot of people helping me over the past several months including mostly my wife, who's my campaign manager and my best friend. Very exciting and I'm excited for all the people that helped me," said Calfee
Calfee added that he's looking forward to November when he'll square off against the Democratic nominee Jack McNew.
In another race that had drawn widespread attention, David Morgan defeated incumbent Teresa Kirkham and Steve Robinette.
"I guess I'm overjoyed," said Morgan. "It's been a long 8 month journey and I just really feel like the voters came out and responded."
The race received a lot of attention in May when former candidate J.T. Woods took his own life outside Kirkham's home.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. High school parents and students took in a full afternoon at Colorado Mesa University getting a better understanding of financial aid for college. It all started with a tour of CMU followed by informational sessions. Both parents and students a chance to ask questions and learn more about the financial aid process.
"It was nice to hear which ones are good web sites to go to and which ones aren't, and the timeline was really useful, so knowing when you should apply for various things," says Stephanie Matlock, a parent who attended.
"It's important to fill things out early. I learned a lot about deadlines and a lot of them are in February so I've been kind of been slacking on that and I need to get on it early and apply for some scholarships while I can," says Loryn Chiapuzio, a senior at Fruita Monument High School.
Many of the parents we talked to say they'd definitely recommend the program to those who will be going through the process next year, as it can be a bit overwhelming to figure things out on your own.

USB 3.0 ports refuse to work as USB 3.0 ports
A few days ago I installed a USB 3.0 card (to be precise, this one: 2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCI-E Controller Card - Free Shipping - DealExtreme). It uses the very common NEC µPD720200 USB 3.0 controller. I installed the required drivers for Windows 7, and the card worked fine for the first day or so. but not since. Whenever I plug in a USB 3.0 external hard drive, I get a false "This device can perform faster..." message, as if I had plugged the drive in a USB 2.0 port.
The external drive I am using is a Western Digital MyBook Essential 1130. It is definitely a USB 3.0 drive, and came with the required USB 3.0 cable. While the USB 3.0 card was working, I got full-speed transfers to the limit of the hard drive's ability, about 90-100 MB/s. Now I can only get USB 2.0 speeds (33-34 MB/s). Windows insists I have the drive plugged into a USB 2.0 port even though it is plugged directly into the USB 3.0 card.
Things I tried so far:
-rebooting and complete power cycle. No difference.
-plugging the drive into one port or the other. Also no difference.
-Looked in Device manager. No help there either. The controller is recognized as a USB 3.0 device is using the proper NEC drivers.
Other info that may be important:
-No overclocking settings in use.
-I made sure the cable was plugged in all the way. It's in as far as it can go, but the ports will still only act like USB 2.0 ports.
This is very frustrating. How do I fix it? I might as well throw the card away if it is only going to act as a USB 2.0 device.

Click uninstall, now they will disappear.
Now install your drivers again, which came with the card

Will give that a try when I reboot. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 at the moment. For some reason, the ports won't work as USB 3.0 ports here either. The Linux kernel has supported USB 3.0 since late 2009 so go figure.
My Linux USB 3.0 problem may not be related to my Windows 7 USB 3.0 problem, but it does seem suspiciously coincidental.
Wish I had another computer with USB 3.0 ports to test with, but I don't.
Nope, reinstalling the drivers did nothing. Windows still stupidly insists that I have the drive plugged in a USB 2.0 port, when it is clearly in a USB 3.0 port.
Did you try that link you posted? There actually isn't any way to download drivers from the Renesas website.
2nd update:
Also tried changing the card to a free PCI Express 2.0 16x slot. It still refuses to work as a USB 3.0 port, I only get USB 2.0 connections. The card must be a piece of junk.
3rd update:
Yep, it's junk. Installed the card in a different computer, installed the drivers, rebooted, still only works as a USB 2.0 card. Worthless.
I suppose there is a *remote* possibility that the USB 3.0 cable supplied with my Western Digital external HDD has gone bad, but I'd much sooner suspect a $13, no-name USB card than the cable. I have another USB 3.0 cable on the way anyhow because I needed a longer one. Will see whether that makes a difference.
4th (and last) update:
It was the lousy MyBook enclosure that was the problem. I swapped the 3 TB HDD to a Zalman HE-350-U3E enclosure and now all is well. It connects to my USB 3.0 ports at USB 3.0 speeds.

text: On June 6, 1994, at 1030 central daylight time, a Grumman G-164B, N8363K, was destroyed during a forced landing near Carlisle, Arkansas. The commercial pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the aerial application flight.According to the pilot, the airplane was dispensing fertilizer on an easterly heading at an altitude of 50 feet AGL, near the end of the rice field. The pilot further reported hearing a "loud cannon-like pop sound" coming from the engine, immediately followed by the complete loss of engine power.The pilot added that at the point of the power loss, a line of tall trees was less than 1/8 of a mile ahead of the airplane. He elected to turn right into the wind while attempting to dump his load from the 400 gallon hopper.The spreader assembly separated from the fuselage on initial contact with the ground. As the main landing gear sank into the soft muddy ground, the airplane went nose down and came to rest with the propeller spinner stuck in the ground.According to the pilot's enclosed statement, fuel from the 97 gallon fuel tank on the top wing dripped down the cowling and into the engine compartment, starting a fire. Post-impact fire destroyed the airplane. A detailed examination and teardown of the engine failed to disclose any anomalies that would have prevented normal engine operation.

- OTD delivers!NancyVIPDined on 11/1/2014I have been to OTD on Bush no less than 20 times. The last four or five times have been mediocre -- food was off; services was snooty; it was a packed circus scene and deafeningly loud... this past Saturday night (11-1-14), they nailed it! The service was friendly, each of our 3 dishes was outstanding (!!!), and with a 5:30pm reservation, the noise level was manageable. It's an SF favorite that has hopefully come back from a slip. Keep up the good work OTD and thanks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodSmileVIPDined on 11/1/2014Always on their A game. The food is delicious every time. We love the great service and the friendly staff. The OTD team gives us a great dining experience every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FequorDined on 10/28/2014Dissapointed of four distes onerosos Washington very good. One por and two average
- Interesting fusion tasteSFDinerVIPDined on 10/27/2014Went there for dinner this week and had a good experience. the jicama and grapefruit salad was delicious, the entrees were good, but not great. We had the fried chicken, which had a really interesting breading, but was just alright. We also had the opah which came in an incredibly thick sauce (almost a stew). The fish was a bit overcooked and it seems like the sauce was an attempt to save that. It was also odd for an entree to have that much sauce, but no rice. We didn't eat dessert, but their selection wasn't very exciting I'd still recommend it.Special Features:
- Casual Fun & Entertaining!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/25/2014We didn't, but should have, asked to sit at the counter in front of the woks and all the action. The smells were fantastic and the food was the culmination of that wonderful cacophony of sound and smell. We had the shrimp fresh spring rolls (subtle & minty) & the hue dumplings (little pillows of texture and flavor). Then the clay pot chicken (nom nom), shaking beef (melt in your mouth) accompanied by brown rice with sautéed Swiss chard (yum!) and the BEST EVER Brussels Sprouts! We drank Reisling (recommendation of the house) and Hitachino Nest Red Rice beer and herbal teas afterwards. It was a fantastic meal with helpful, attentive and non-intrusive service. We WILL return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!SmileVIPDined on 10/25/2014We always love the food at OTD! Spring rolls, daikon rice cakes, pork buns and the pho are awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy once again!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/25/2014Delicious beignets, papaya salad and pickled vegies. The food is yummy, the help is, well, helpful, and the neighbors that gather here friendly and fun. I come in from Sacramento to enjoy the neighborhood and it is my first stop for food.Special Features:
- An off night?classicDined on 10/21/2014First, the staff is some of the nicest that I have met in any restaurant in the city. The problem is that the service was very sketchy, it took almost fifteen minutes before anyone asked what we would like to drink. Then the food took forever and it wasn't that busy of a night. The spring roll with the shrimp was pretty tasteless, the shrimp entree was not good either. The pork chop was the winner at the table, it was visually beautiful, delicious and a huge portion. The other dishes were unremarkable. I will give them another shot because I have heard such good things from other people.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 10/21/2014Always good fresh food with wonderful service. It is too noisy but still worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little too much sugar, but goodDavidSFOVIPDined on 10/17/2014All (and I do mean ALL) of Charles Phan's restaurants use too much sugar (or other sweeteners). It's typical of restaurants that are trying to cater to the all-American palette -- salt-sugar-fat. Wonderful triumvirate. That said, there are some items on the OTD menu that are outstanding. Both veggie and shrimp/pork spring rolls (tho' the peanut sauce might as well be poured over ice cream it's so sweet); the papaya salad is awesome. We also had green beans which were good (blanched, then pan sautéed), but not terribly inventive. The Hue dumplings were good, interesting, too sweet. And the salt and pepper squid was lightly battered and fried, but the addition of grilled pineapple ruined it. Overall, it was solid. Service was excellent.Special Features:
- Great Asian Fusion FoodGalaDined on 10/11/2014Admitting that I have been to Slanted door only once, I would always go back to OTD (the little sister restaurant). The dishes are easily shared with two or four people at your table. This way you get to try more of the many delicious choices. They had a lot of vegetarian and fish dishes, so it's a great choice if you want to get away from all the meat. Going around 6pm is advisable because it is not as crowded and noisy as it can be later in the evening.Special Features:
- Don't miss this placeSFFinDined on 10/9/2014Every visit to San Francisco must include OTD. Every flavor is discernible and fresh without meshing together. Somehow they always get the combinations spot on. Service is always enthusiastic but never in your face. I always feel welcome and leave totally satisfied.

- DisappointingPassion4foodVIPDined on 10/7/2014Disappointing is word comes to mind when describing our experience at OTD. As a long time fan of Slanted Door and OTD in the Ferry Building I expected the same quality of food, service and ambiance. The food was the most off. Had the jicama and grapefruit salad and spring rolls to start. The salad had a weird taste and the nuts tasted stale. The spring rolls were not bad but again something was off. Had eggplant and mahi mahi next. Eggplant was chewy and mahi mahi was just okay. Presentation of food, plates not as nice as Slanted Door, but that may be because they are going down market with OTD. The ambiance was not as lively as Slanted Door and the energy coming from kitchen was not same.Special Features:
- Fun place with amazing foodSmileVIPDined on 10/4/2014Every dish is always such a treat. Love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood SavyfocusDined on 10/2/2014While the restaurant location is not the easiest for out of town visitors to get to, the effort was worth it. Our seafood meals were both delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned, the best we've ever had. The shrimp stir fry was very good, though the sweet carmelized sauce was tasty but a bit heavy.
- Pleasant surprise!Yul2goDined on 9/25/2014A bit disconcerting at first, you can still recognize the traditional fare of the vietnamese restaurant but always with a little addiitional twist. We went there twice during our stay in SF, very satisfied both times. The ribs are a must, as are their variations on the dumplings, and their shrimps too! Service is attentive, a bit on the fast side but they will slow down if asked. Oh, and they also have a few wines on tap, we had very decent pinot and carignan. Noise level is fairly high but remains acceptable, and contributes to the lively ambience of the place.Special Features:
- Fresh and interesting mix of foodGoodfoodtravellerDined on 9/25/2014We found OTD bush st offered us a fabulous taste of fresh food prepared in a way that combined amazing produce with perfect combinations of flavours. The hint of Vietnamese with Chinese cuisine produces an amazing taste without destroying the fresh flavours. The atmosphere is vibrant and uplifting while the service is attentive and friendly. Well worth a visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ambianceFoodySBDined on 9/23/2014Food is excellent and the ambiance chic. We did feel a bit rushed by the server which in SF restaurants is usually not the case.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soooo deliciousSmileVIPDined on 9/20/2014Love this place! Everything we try on the menu is super yummy. Spring rolls, daikon cakes, pho, and lemongrass pork are my favs on the brunch menu!Special Features:
- Iconic Little Sister - Slanted DoorGreathighwayDined on 9/19/2014If you can't get into Slanted Door, why hassle and instead go here. The food is outstanding and the service matches the food. It is hard to get a reservation, but there is counter seating and a big communal table, so give it a chance. You won't regret it. Also the lunch menu is different and just as good, so sneak away and catch a superb lunch as well. We go at least once a month, would go more, but want to savior the time in between. Outstanding.......Special Features:
- The bomb!DisappointingDined on 9/17/2014Food was great, service was great, but I wish they would put in something in the decor to absorb the overwhelming noise, the place is SUPER noisy. Also, I think on yelp, it shows as 2 $$ but it was definitely more $$$.Special Features:
- Very DisappointingfitndineVIPDined on 9/10/2014We had a disappointing meal. We felt it was overpriced Asian food. We had asked for recommendations (crepe) and it was not good. The food was greasy and heavy. The crepe had mostly onions and sprouts with two shrimps and two pieces of pork. The shell was an egg crepe and really greasy. We informed the waiter and they remade the crepes on the house but the second one had more ingredients but still very very greasy. The chicken dishes were good.
- Great food but.....SunflowerDined on 9/6/2014I've been there with friends on a Saturday. Setting is nice. The tables are a little cramped, service is friendly, the food is excellent. I would come back maybe during the week , with the hope of , it beeing a little bit more quiet. The noise level is just to much. It's hard to have a normal conversation, due to the noise.Special Features:

- OTD AOKmaudeVIPDined on 8/14/2014can't get enough of the classic slanted door grapefruit salad. and the spring rolls are perfect: fresh, crisp, full of flavor, with a killer peanut sauce that's not too thick. nice list of unusual asian teas. highly recommended.Special Features:
- Great Vietnamese with energyGatorJohnVIPDined on 8/13/2014Great food, excellent service, including what turned out to be great guidance and advice on what to order, to suit our tastes. We like to share dishes, so the choices of shrimp and lamb made for a sweet and sour effect. Will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful food, very noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/12/2014The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was friendly and excellent. However the noise level made it difficult to talk and hear. Not a good place for a business luncheon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- my favorite place in SFOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/10/2014every time i walk into OTD i hope no one ever asks me to leave. enough said!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very disappointing morning...OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/9/2014We go to OTD 1-2/week. We got to OTD at 9:10 (they open at 9 am) and were told: "We are running late. Come back at 9:30." Then a waiter thankfully recognizes as regulars and says, "Come sit down" and indeed the menu was ready. We almost left based on the 1st comment and the host with the false info never apologized. We ordered our food and were 10 minutes into our meal when another patron came in and threw a fit because he had reserved the table for 2 we were sitting at, but there were three other tables for 2 available. So even though his dining partner had not arrived, we were forced to move to another table. Finally, our steamed pork bun was cold. Our entire meal, no one stopped by to ask how we were doing or how our food was.
- SffoodieDined on 8/8/2014I made reservations at 11 AM. We waited at door till the 2 people folding napkins ( after turning around and giving us both looks of what are you doing here"? no smiles or acknowledgement. We were the first n only ones in restaurant. We ordered ,others came in and their appetizer arrived, Ours shortly after, then their soups split and another dish and we had not gotten either of our main dishes. We noticed others around us getting food,so my friend called over the waitress to question where our food was and she said " it takes longer to grill the chicken" n walks away. WE DIDn't order anything with chicken ? She forgot our order, hurriedly told the chef and both side n main came .No return from waitress NO "To insure Proper service" either.
- inventive, modern Vietnamese fooddraliVIPDined on 8/6/2014This remains an all time favorite with combinations of foods and spices not found elsewhere in San Francisco. Small plates of meat and fish delivered sequentially as they are prepared - each distinctly differently seasoned. Clay pot chicken always perfect, and any of the shrimp dishes exquisite. Finish the meal with one of their aromatic teas- this restaurant, although always busy and noisy, is a real treat.Special Features:
- We love this place!SmileVIPDined on 8/4/2014Every time we dine at OTD, we always leave so happy. The food (spring rolls, beef pho, chicken pho) and service is always superb! Dominick always takes such good care of us every time. We like sitting at the chef's table to look at all the food get prepared. They all look so delicious! Even the chefs are friendly at this place! We forgot our leftovers/doggie bag and as we turned around to walk back to the restaurant, our server was running out give it to us. It's nice that they always go that extra mile to make us feel special! :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best brunch place ever!SmileVIPDined on 8/2/2014Spring rolls, chicken pho and beef pho is an absolute must!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Vietnamese I have ever hadLanDDined on 8/2/2014Really good modern vietnamese kitchen. Interesting and varied menu, experienced cooks (get a seat watching the person making the rice wraps, she was good). It was great to find a vietnamese place that is clean and modern with traditional flavours. Bring lots of people with you so you can try all the dishes!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kumoDined on 8/1/2014This is a very eclectic restaurant with interresting dinner options. The service is excellent. The staff is very knowledgable of the menu and keeps the water glasses filled and the dishes removed and replaced with courteous efficency. The only downsides are the parking and noise level. Probably better to sit at the bar and watch the cooks.Special Features:

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Authorities say a man was engaged in a standoff with police late Sunday night at a home in San Antonio.
The San Antonio Express-News reports (http://bit.ly/WbEyL3 ) that police responding to a call for an assault in progress encountered a male suspect and female victim in the front yard of a home.
Police Officer Misty Floyd tells the newspaper that the suspect did not comply with police demands and waved what police think was a weapon toward them.
She says police opened fire on the man, who did not shoot back.
The newspaper reports the suspect had barricaded himself in the home and was speaking with negotiators.
Floyd said she could not verify whether the suspect had been injured.
A police department spokeswoman did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Distributing content is one role of a media server. Another emerging role is backup storage. As more and more of our content is digitized—and not stored on CDs, photo paper or even DVDs—we need a way to protect and secure it. Enter Windows Home Server.
HP is the first company to announce servers based on Windows Home Server software. The 500-GB ($599) and 1-terabyte ($749) MediaSmart servers take on several roles, and few of them resemble those of a standard PC. The servers don't come with a keyboard, monitor or mouse, for instance. They connect to the home network and communicate with the other PCs in the home. The HP servers are smaller than the standard desktop, too, measuring 5.5 (W) x 9.8 (H) x 9.2 (D) inches. "The HP MediaSmart servers look like they belong on a bookshelf, not like they're nerdy computers," says Scott Evans, group manager in Microsoft's E Home division.
Media servers based on Windows Home Server software stay powered 24-7 and automatically back up all data from all of the home's PCs once a day. "Media Center is the entertainment center, and Home Server is backup, consolidated storage and a remote access gateway for the home," Evans explains.
Remote access gives you the ability to retrieve your content from outside the home by going to the customized URL for your home server over the Internet. If you're visiting the grandparents in California, it's easy to bring up all the photos of the kids over the Internet, but forget about watching those recordings of "Weeds." Protected content can be accessed on the home network, but you can't get it from outside of the house.
How do you choose a media server? Start by determining what's important to you, says Mike Seamons, vice president of marketing at Exceptional Innovation, whose Lifeware software runs on the Windows Vista platform and Media Center PCs. Seamons breaks out media servers into three types. "If you want a rockin' entertainment system on your TV, then start with an entertainment server," he says. A Media Center PC can feed content to up to five rooms, he notes. "If you're not looking at plugging in TVs, and you just want someplace where all your content is living safely, then get a storage server, and you can have all [your] pictures, videos, music and important documents backed up." The third category adds home control, and that's where Lifeware makes its mark by providing the hardware connections and software for home control including lighting, thermostats and security.
EI's entry-level LifeMedia Server 200 ($3,500), which provides entertainment and home control, includes Windows Vista Ultimate and offers 500 GB of storage. In media terms, that translates to roughly 60 DVD movies, 170 hours of standard definition, 80 hours of HDTV, 5,000 CDs or 250,000 photos. The server is the holding pen for TV, movies, music and digital pictures and also manages automation, offering connections for supported lighting systems such as those from Insteon, Lutron and Centralite. Twenty zones of lighting control would be a $1,500 software upgrade, Seamons says.
For peace of mind, you can add a storage server for backup and duplication of data. EI's 2-terabyte storage server is $6,000 and offers redundant backup. Software licensing fees are part of the Lifeware scenario, too, which is available through dealers only. You buy a one-time server license for Lifeware for $500, and then add $125 to $500 per screen, depending on the functionality of the screen. In addition, license fees apply to each device, such as a lighting module or thermostat, that communicates with the system.
The advantage of going with Lifeware, says Seamons, is the straightforward, unified user interface that combines entertainment and automation under the same menu. There's also the Microsoft platform compatibility. You don't have to use EI hardware for Lifeware to work, although the company offers a full line to meet a wide variety of applications. Depending on your needs, you could go with a robust four-tuner Media Center PC system from Niveus or a music-centric PC from Russound or a MediaSmart extender from HP.
The Microsoft field will only get larger as more third-party companies come on board. Evans of Microsoft notes that in its fifth generation, Media Center now boasts 60 million users. "It has enough of a user base that it makes sense for third parties to build more hardware products that work with Media Center directly," he says. That even includes high-end supplier Crestron, which will deliver its own Media Center PCs in 2008.Facebook and Twitter.

Tuna tataki sashimi with matsuhisa dressing recipe
Chef Nobu Matsuhisa shares his signature dish Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
You won't have Japanese waiters screaming 'Irashaimase' when rustling up Nobu's tasty tuna rolls at home, but that doesn't detract from what is a fine Eastern dish
The recipe
(Serves two)
• 120g boneless skinless tuna fillet
• Sea salt
• Black pepper
• Olive oil
• 2 cucumbers
• 2 baby daikon
• ½ red endives
• ½ endive
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 radishes
• 1 asparagus spear
• 1 small turnip
• 2 myoga ginger buds
• 50g lotus root
• 10cl of matsuhisa dressing
• 20g mesclun (mix of salad greens)
• Watercress to garnish
1 Sprinkle the tuna with salt and pepper and press into the fillet. Briefly sear both sides of the tuna in a little olive oil.
2 When the surface has just started to cook and appears marbled, plunge the fillet into iced water to cool, then pat with a paper towel until completely dry.
3 For the sliced salad, shave the vegetables extremely thinly with a vegetable slicer and leave in ice water. When the vegetables are crisp, drain them in a sieve. Mix the vegetables and the mesclun and make a heap in the centre of a serving plate.
4 Cut the tuna fillet into seven slices about three millimetres thick and roll each slice into a cylinder. Arrange the tuna rolls around the vegetables and pour the matsuhisa dressing on top. Garnish with watercress.
Note: When slicing the vegetables, cut them lengthways to show their natural shapes. For example, slice the cucumber, celery and ginger along the fibres. The sashimi salad makes the vegetables more appetising, while cutting the tuna very thinly helps create a textured balance.
The chef
Name: Nobu Matsuhisa
Nationality: Japanese
Nobu Matsuhisa is undeniably one of the world's most famous chefs, thanks to his high-end chain of Japanese restaurants. Counting Hollywood legend Robert DeNiro as a friend and partner in the business also helps. Chef Nobu has more than 20 eateries around the globe, serving authentic Japanese dishes and all manner of sushi bites. The Dubai outlet is a popular hangout for Asian food lovers.
