nice colours!
oooo, what film did you use?
It's LOMO X-PRO 200! But I reckon there are something wrong with the scanning.... maybe rescan this roll later ;P

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.Bodhidharma
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.Anthony Robbins
The chemist who can extract from his heart's elements compassion, respect, longing, patience, regret, surprise, and forgiveness and compound them into one can create that atom which is called loveKhalil Gibran
Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challengesCarlos Castaneda
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the LUXURY of a regret.Oscar Wilde
Guilt is regret for what weíve done. Regret is guilt for what we didnít do.Unknown
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.Charles Caleb Colton
If I go out of public life with one feeling, with one conviction, it is this : a deep regret for many bitter words I have used in my life, deep sincere repentance for my violence of language. But I hope they will be forgiven me by God and man, because not once in all my life have I attacked anybody unjustly from my point of view, and without believing it was my duty to do so.Joseph-Napolon-Henri Bourassa
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.Henry David Thoreau
There is nothing to regret - either for those who go or for those who are left behindEleanor Roosevelt
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.Fulton Oursler
Whoever has three things will never regret: 1) Refraining from haste 2) Consulting (with others) 3) And depending upon God when making decisionsMuhammad ibn Al_al Taqi
Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.Dr. Laurence J. Peter
We are more inclined to regret our virtues than our vices; but only the very honest will admit this.Holbrook Jackson
Bless the upward hearts who find all war, all envy, and all regret to be unacceptable, especially inside themselves.Laura Teresa Marquez
Regret, which is guilt without the neurosis, enables us ... to move forward instead of back.Jane Adams
Often regret is very false and displaced, and imagines the past to be totally other than it was.John O'donohue
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.Katherine Mansfield
Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently.Charles Dudley Warner
Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.Arthur Brisbane

Yeh shaam phir nahi ayegee….man, taking me back! One of the greatest songs of all time!
hsbnd & wife mst nt hide anythng 4m ech odr…wn de r fair nthng to b hide…
Translation please?
meaning is that there should be transperancy in the martial relation…when they are fair to each other, there is no use of hidding anythng from eachother….if still not geting me than you beter skip to next comnt without your opinion
it was the MAN who started the rumour and gossip!!!!!! woman feels bad for her husband who seems to be hero's subordinate of a sort, therefore, the jealousy and envy.
Actually no–the wife called her friend & shared private information about her husband's appointment. The friend, a female, then told her own husband. So the whole exchange of information (aka gossip) began from the wife sharing an intimate part of her life with an outsider–something she should not have done. I'm a woman–and that's just my opinion. Perhaps you need to watch the drama again. Bottom line–whether you are a man or a woman, you should not share your private details with outsiders–just an observation.
this does not have anything to do with your or my gender/gender affiliations, but it certainly has something to do with human relationships, be that of husband and wife or so called friends. when you consider someone as your friend and not just an acquaintance, then you trust them with your tales of woe as you need to confide in someone. But the so called friends who are jealous of you for whatever the reasons, do not wish for your happiness and play mischief. that's what this friend couple seems to be doing , that's my reading of the situation, nothing personal, for sure. and for records sake, wife told the other woman when she came visiting her with Kulfi as a 'I am Sorry for my nastiness and I need to make you more unhappy' gesture!!!!
Agreed to a certain point. I am referring specifically to this issue though. I'm sure it's a source of great embarrassment and shame for a man when this type of information is shared with others–a wife should know better (and vice versa). It's an attack on his manhood when a male is unable to produce children (as is for a woman as well). If it was some small issue, the daily issues that occur in a marriage (helping with the kids & in the house, etc.), that is shared with a friend, then fine….but being checked for impotency is a pretty personal issue.

The science behind our TV size and distance calculator
Bigger and closer is usually better when it comes to choosing the perfect television for your room. Not only it is the biggest factor affecting the price of a television, but it also has a huge impact on the perceived picture quality.
Angular resolution
If you sit too close though, you will notice the pixels of the television even if you are watching a 1080p HD movie. By increasing your distance from the TV, the density of the details will also increase, producing a better image. This is the angular resolution: the amount of pixel per angle. The farther away, the higher the angular resolution will be.
|Screen Size
|Optimal Distance
|3.3' (1 m)
|4' (1.22 m)
|4.6' (1.40 m)
|5.3' (1.62 m)
|6' (1.83 m)
|6.6' (2.01 m)
|7.3' (2.23 m)
|8' (2.44 m)
|8.6' (2.62 m)
|9.3' (2.83 m)
The limit that you can increase the angular resolution by stepping back depends on your visual acuity. At some point, your eyes are not good enough to distinguish all the details. Studies show that someone with a 20/20 vision (or 6/6 in Europe) can distinguish something 1/60 of a degree apart. This means 60 pixels per degree, or 32.86 degrees for a 1080p television. Keep in mind that you can see a single pixel from further away (depending on its contrast with the rest of the picture).
Using this data, the closest you can sit from your television while still maintaining the maximum perceived angular resolution is about 1.6 times the diagonal measurement of your television. For example, a 55" television will have an ideal viewing distance of 88" (55" x 1.6), or 7 feet and 4 inches. The following table gives you the minimal distance for watching a 1080p HDTV screen while keeping the angular resolution to the maximum that the human can perceive. The chart shows the optimal distance for the DVD (NTSC 720x480 or PAL 720x576), 720p, 1080p and Ultra HD (previously known as 4K) resolutions. Only the horizontal resolution is considered, which is why both NTSC and PAL DVD resolutions are on the same line.
How do you interpret the chart?
There are a few ways to read the chart. For example, let say that you have a 50" television. Start at the bottom of the chart at 50". Up to 3', you are below the blue line. This means you can see the pixels of an Ultra HD resolution. If you go back a bit (up in the chart), between 3' and 7' is where an Ultra HD resolution does not matter because you cannot see its pixel anyway. However, you are still too close for a 1080p resolution (it will not appear perfect). Above 7', the perceived quality will start to decrease for 1080p because your eye will not see all the details. You would notice the difference though it if is 720p. For more than 10', it does not matter if it is a 720p or 1080p HDTV, your eye is not good enough to see the difference. You will still see the difference for a standard resolution though, up to a 18' distance. To summarize, you can see the pixels if you are below the line but not above.
Ideally, you want to be exactly on the line for your TV size and media resolution.
This takes into account a perfect resolution, which is never the case in real life. Even if you are watching an HD channel with a high resolution, there will be some artifacts due to the compression algorithm. Artifacts can appear in multiple forms like noise, blurs or a pixelated image (see the picture to the right). You will be able to see artifacts from farther away, so consider the above numbers as being for a perfect 1080p media. The numbers show the minimal distance where you start losing the advantage of the resolution.
You are probably now thinking something around the lines of "My couch is 10' away from my TV, which according to the chart I need a 75 inch TV. This is insane!". Yes, if you want to take advantage of the full 1080p resolution this is the ideal size. This brings us to actual limitation of common people: the budget.
The price of a TV is exponential to its size, as shown in the chart. The chart shows the price range of all 2014 TVs by their size.
To figure out which size of a TV to buy, divide your viewing distance by 1.6 for a 1080p resolution (or use our TV sizes calculator above). You will see the pixels on bigger sizes and lose details on smaller ones. If the best size is outside your budget, just get the biggest TV you can afford.

First, the television cannot create new information, it can only extrapolate from the available information. This means that the television cannot know what was between two pixels. So it will guess instead. Second, there is a loss of information when upscaling to match the desired resolution. Unless the scale factor is exactly a whole number (which is mostly never the case), some information will be loss by trying to fit 1 pixel into a fraction. For example, let say you want to upscale a 1x3 picture (consisting of a white pixel next to a black one and then a white pixel) into a 1x4. What do you do? The two on the side can be white, but none at the center can be black without deforming the picture, so it will mostly be gray.
As a side note, this assume the resolution upscaling is done on frames independently of each others. Technically, you also have access to information present on the previous and next frames. There are some research done in that field that do look promising, but the algorithms aren't really effective yet besides very controlled cases.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Apple' tag.
As you may have heard, iPhones store, unencrypted, a list of locations where the phone has been while turned on. This information, like all the user information on the phone, is also backed-up unencrypted on one's computer when syncing the phone with iTunes.
There is a cute program, called iPhone tracker which will read this information and plot it on a map, also creating a video showing where your phone (and you) has been over time.
And this is me attending TCC 2011:
What could possibly go wrong with this?
When I got a computer for my new office at Stanford last year, it came with the Apple wireless keyboard, a piece of equipment that some people like very much, and that has a handsome and minimalist design. The bluetooth connection was, however, occasionally flaky, and it seemed silly to have a battery operated device sitting in front of a desktop. So I decided to buy a wired keyboard instead, and since everybody raves about how good it is to type on Lenovo laptops, I thought Lenovo would sell a keyboard made to feel like their laptops. Unfortunately there does not seem to be such a thing.
Searching for information about keyboards, however, I found a whole online cult devoted to the keyboards that IBM made for its PC in the 1980s: the IBM Model M keyboard. Although I never owned or used an IBM PC, I remember using similar keyboards when I was a graduate student in the mid 1990s, and we each had a terminal on our desk connected to a mainframe in the basement. The terminals had monochromatic, text-only, displays, but they keyboards were good, and, every time you would press a key, they would go *CLICK*, just like the 1980s IBM keyboards. (The terminals were made by HP and were 1980s technology.)
The license/patents to make these keyboards went to Lexmark, when IBM spun off its printers/devices business. Making the keyboards, however, was not profitable because they never break — see for example this video of a Model M versus a watermelon.
Lexmark then sold the license/patents to Unicomp, an American company whose business is to make clones of the IBM Model M keyboard and other 1980s models.
So that's what I got for my office and, while I feel rather self-conscious about showing enthusiasm about a keyboard, it is awesome. (To be precise, the keyboard I got is not an exact clone of the IBM model M: mine has a USB cable, a "Windows" key, and it works with a Mac without drivers. The Windows key becomes the "command" key. For the purists, it is possible to buy actual IBM models M, with a PS/2 interface which can be connected to a USB via converter, at clickykeyboards.com, where they even have "mint condition never used" ones.)
This term, as readers of in theory might have noticed, I am writing notes for two classes, which means that I am typing for roughly 15-20 hours a week, mostly at home. Usually, at home I would work using the laptop on the sofa, and use my desk for storage, but this wasn't good this term, so I (mostly) cleared the desk, got a monitor, a mouse, another, awesome Unicomp keyboard, and hooked it all up to my MacBook Air (which has new hinges, yay!). Read the rest of this entry »
About two years ago I bought a MacBook Air. I was worried about the lack of an optical disk reader, about the inaccessible battery and the presence of only one USB connection, but in the past two years I don't remember ever needing the disk reader on the road (I have an external one at home), only a few times I wished for an extra USB port, and the battery has been holding up all right.
I have, however, encountered some completely unexpected problems. One is that the machine overheats very quickly if it does a computation-intensive task, and it has the "feature" that, if the temperature gets high, it shuts down one of the cores and makes the other go at about 40% speed. This means that it is not possible to connect it to a tv to watch movies from netflix or tv shows from hulu, because within half an hour it reaches the temperature that triggers the slowdown, at which point it skips so many frames that the movie looks like a slide show.
I also wish I could add more RAM. (The memory chips are soldered on the motherboard.)
Then last week I heard a cracking noise when opening it, and the screen would fall back instead of holding its position.
Despite the seemingly sturdy metal construction, the hinges had cracked:
Well, not a big deal, I thought, how expensive can replacement hinges be? Very expensive, a google search revealed.
The design of the computer is such that to repair the hinges they need to replace the screen. Not just the metal shell that covers the screen, but the LCD screen itself too, for a cost in the ballpark of $800.
"Thankfully," Apple will repair it for free even if my warranty has long expired.
The announcement of the free repair offer tells a story all by itself. First, that there should be an official policy for this problem shows how many people had this problem and how defective was the original design. (A google search also shows that.) Notice the compound design failures of having a break that (1) is so expensive to fix and (2) is so likely to occur. Second, the announcement offers a refund to those who paid for the repair in the past: indeed for a while people were having this break while their warranty was active and Apple would make them pay for the repair, claiming that the users were responsible for breaking the hinges, evidently because they used the computer in a way that it was not designed for, such by opening and closing it on occasion.
It is time to get a new laptop, and I would like it to be as light as possible subject to having a full-size keyboard and a not-too-small (at least 12") display. So it is down to the MacBook Air versus the Lenovo X300.
I have been planning to move to OS X, and I appreciate superior design, so the MacBook is the default choice, but I also like to be able to connect a computer to other devices, which leads to the problem described in the video.
The new Prada phone looks good, and it comes with its own Prada leather case, but I'll wait for the iPhone (or whatever it will be called), which is conveniently coming out just before my birthday.
What I am really looking forward to, however, is the iCar. It will cost $50,000, it will do 10 miles to the gallon, of a special gasoline sold only at Apple gas stations, and if there is a small mechanical problem you will have to ship it to Cupertino, where they will replace the whole engine for a convenient $10,000 fee. But, as the first car without a steering wheel, it will be so cool!

The 2012 Online Retail Industry Awards finalists are announced, with some predictable results but also some surprise new entrants. The winners will be announced at the ORIA Gala Dinner on Wednesday, July 18, in Sydney.
Now in its third year, the Online Retail Industry Awards is the dedicated awards program for the Australia/New Zealand online retail industry. The awards continue to grow in stature, and the calibre of entrants has risen another level in 2012, according to Chair of the Judging Panel, Steven Noble.
"While the judges were impressed to see Australian online retailers steadily improving every aspect of their businesses, we were particularly excited to see them take to the new mobile commerce awards category with such energy," said Noble. "The quality of the mobile commerce entries showed us how quickly Australia is adapting to the mobile realities of today and tomorrow."
Judged by seven panelists including three international judges, the following retailers emerged in each category as finalists. Judges will continue to review and refine their scoring for the finalists using a blind scoring system, with the highest points tally in each category defining the category winner.
The winners will receive their awards at the popular Gala Awards Dinner on Wednesday July 18 during the Online Retailer Conference at Darling Harbour, Sydney.

The fact that Harvey Norman is a finalist in not one but two of these awards beggars belief and seriously tarnishes the credibility of the award's eligibility criteria.
Some of the others are worthy nominees, but really, Harvey Norman?
I mean even Gerry Harvey doesn't like the results he's getting from his own website and says you can't sell stuff online.
I also refer you to a recent editorial on this very site
Editorial: Is Gerry Harvey Past It? http://www.powerretail.com.au/editorial-2/editorial-is-gerry-harvey-past-it/
Congratulations to all. One comment: ABC Shop?? Really? I think anyone that had a public funded radio and TV station behind them should not be able compete in private sector awards.
Lets hope Vinomofo get up. Their website is authentic and original.
Congratulations, nice to see OZMattress being chosen as a finalist in new online retailer. Was very happy with the service and quality of purchase online. Wish them all the best…Ian Smith
Vinomofo.. Their unique style of branding connects with such a vast consumer profile. Through their fun, quirky, yet meticulous approach to wine, Vinomofo never fails to deliver a quality, and reputable product.
Harvey Norman? n what capacity? Harvey Norman, or Harvey Norman Big Buys? Either way, what a joke
I agree – Harvey Norman – you must be joking!!! As soon as I saw that they were up for any sort of online award, I just thought "rigged awards event for sure". Thanks for a great laugh!!!
I'm no fan of Harvey Norman myself, but when I look at who is on the judging panel and that the primary criteria for judging entries (from the ORIA site) is on overall experience, optimisation and performance of the online store, then I am prepared to cut the shortlist some slack.
There must be a method to their madness somewhere- either that or the other online stores nominated are even worse
Great feedback from everyone! Congrats to all the finalists. My two cents… The awards are unbiased objective evaluations, from the perspective of online retailing as an industry. Whether the stores are privately owned or public (Phil, your comment) and whether it's Harvey Norman and its Public perception issues, those need to be overlooked in the pursuit of excellent online retailing. The awards are based on the technical, scientific, business and artful results that come from exceptional online retailing. As all of us as practitioners know, this is not an easy task. Good luck to all.
There's no coverage in New Zealand about these awards and I can't see any NZ sites in the finals. Did any NZ sites enter? Should the awards really be marketed as "the dedicated awards program for the Australia/New Zealand online retail industry"?
Simon, Glassons are an NZ business.
Barkers were a finalist last year.
You are right though- more Kiwi businesses need to put their hands up
I should have been clear. ABC Stores is government. I have no problem with public V private however ABC Stores has a massive advantage over everyone else because it receives free advertising on its TV and radio stations nationally. It has a place at awards and it's called the AIMIA's. I am sure management & the IT department at ABC stores sleeps well not having to worry about customer acquisition or paying its bills. Government has no place here.
We ordered a few shirts from the men's shop and when they arrived I have never seen such beautiful presentation. They arrived so quickly too. The shirts are perfect and great value – such a good discount. We will be doing all of our men's shopping from now on via the mens' shop on line!
Congratulations Ozmattress!
A breath of fresh air is the only way I can describe this site! Easy to use, inviting and the customer support is second to none!
I say good on George & King to be part of the finalist list. I've bought a suit from them, and was very happy with the fit, price and service.
Good luck to you guys.
Thanks Peter! We're stoked that http://www.georgeandking.com.au was included as a finalist.
I love Online Shopping USA. Thanks to that website, I saved a lot of money. I'm never shopping at myer or dj again and paying twice (sometimes thrice) the amount.

The monopoly concerted by pharmaceutical companies and the FDA on medical education is overwhelming. In brief, information brought to us is anything but objective.
Freedom of speech is putative at best, as the theoretical "protection" under the U.S. Constitution, does not account for vested interests. The government has vested interests, namely the desire to protect absurd agencies that protect no one except for their own employment.
The actions of the FDA demonstrate pharmaceutical bias that threatens cutting-edge natural medicines simply for printing the scientific truth about their biological actions. The media supplies mostly inadequate information that more often than not, serves to confuse audiences, leaving them uncertain about efficacy of natural agents.
Finasteride prevents the formation of DHT by reducing inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, while testosterone levels do increase as a result (a good thing), so does excess estrogen. In fact, the problem Finasteride was originally intended to treat; BPH (prostate enlargement) misses the true culprit, estrogen!
Androgenetic hair loss is exacerbated a number of influences; stress, diet, disease states, inherent predispositions, etc.
The etiology of periodontal disease, arthritis, heart disease; hypertension, diabetes, dementia, depression, cancer, osteoporosis and poor libido all share a common trait, an increased likelihood of Male Pattern Baldness (MPB).
Several factors are in involved in MPB besides DHT, these are narrowing of the endothelial column that supports the hair shaft, antigens and paracrine inhibitory mediators depriving transport of dermal papilla cells thru lack of adhesion forces from migration into the hair bulb. Insulin resistance and pro-inflammatory prostaglandin production by way of diet induces vasoreactive substances, involved in hardened collagen formation (fibrosis) and circulatory impairment.
In light of this, controlling DHT alone is limited.

About the industry
Serving many millions of clients... If you have a pension, stocks and shares ISA, unit trust or life assurance policy, for example, your money is being looked after by the investment management industry. The industry invests its clients' money across a broad range of asset classes and products, including equity, bond, property, money market and hedge funds.
A large, international industry....IMA members manage £5.0 out of £6.0 trillion of assets in the UK, making this country one of the world's leading investment management centres. It is a very international business. Of the £5.0 trillion, 40% of assets are managed on behalf of non-UK clients, many overseas firms have substantial UK operations and there is significant investment in overseas markets. The wider industry includes more niche asset management segments as well as a small group of traditional, long-only firms outside of IMA membership.
Easily accessible by retail investors... Retail investors can access the industry's services through investing in authorised funds (unit trusts and OEICs). Hundreds of billions of pounds of investments are held in this form, managed by a wide range of fund management companies.
With a clearly aligned and protective business structure... Investment managers charge fees to their clients, normally based on a percentage of the value of the assets being managed. The client's investments are held completely separately from the manager, providing important protection for investors.
Facilitating wider economic activity... Asset management firms essentially act as a conduit through which capital flows from those who would like to invest to those who need investment. The industry also plays a significant role in overseeing UK companies. UK equities held by UK-based investment managers on behalf of their clients account for some 40% of domestic market capitalisation.

don't know about you, but I am mighty tired of the warmongers making
constant comparisons between Germany 1939 and Iraq 2003. This is
not only disingenuous, it is dishonest.
in 1939 had built a military arsenal second to none. Germany was
mass-producing aircraft superior to any of the allied nations. Germany
was mass-producing armored divisions that far outranked any of its
neighbors. Its infantry was the best-equipped in Europe.
of 2003 doesn't have the infrastructure to build one tank, let alone
divisions of them. Iraq lacks the infrastructure to build a jet
engine, let alone the airframe to put it in. The Iraqi air force,
according to Jane's Defense Weekly, is only 30% operational due
to constant cannibalizing of the fleet, to say nothing of their
aircraft being 1980s and earlier vintage.
Germany of 1939 was able to mass-produce its war materials, Iraq
has to buy everything. Iraq can't even manufacture aluminum tubes!
the first Gulf War, the United States and Great Britain unilaterally
imposed a "no fly zone" on 40% of Iraq, and within which
the U.S. and Britain bomb with impunity. Any Iraqi aircraft that
enters the no-fly zone is subject to being shot down. The no-fly
zone is neither authorized nor sanctioned by any UN resolution.
Germany 1939 no outside force dictated the allocations of the German
budget. The "oil for food" program for Iraq is estimated
to generate 80% of Iraq's budget. This program is run totally by
the UN. Iraq's oil exports have diminished steadily over the last
12 years as the UN has withheld oil drilling and maintenance equipment
from the Iraqis. Thus, by design, the UN has slowly decreased Iraq's
ability to feed and maintain itself.
1939 Germany was clearly on the path of empire. While those thoughts
are also attributed to Hussein, Iraq barely has the wherewithal
to maintain itself. Illusions of empire building are the prerogative
of the strong.
harbor no illusions about Saddam Hussein; he is very likely a murderous
dictator, just as was Hitler. And, just as was our WWII ally Joseph
Stalin, or as President Roosevelt preferred, "Uncle Joe."
on the lookout for sympathy, the warmongers have added a twist to
their emotional appeals. Their original demands were to destroy
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, then they demanded a regime
change. They have now added that the allies (the best allies money
can buy) are there to liberate the Iraqi people. I have no doubt
the Iraqi people will be liberated alright, they'll be liberated
of 20 billion barrels of oil.
the US and Britain are liberating the Iraqi people, I am hard pressed
to understand why the Army chief of staff, General Eric Shinseki,
estimates that "Something on the order of several hundred thousand
soldiers…" will be needed in post-liberated Iraq.
I've got to run now. I'm off to the store to get some Maurice's
BBQ sauce and a bottle of French wine.

Boeing conducts another test flight of 787 jetApril 1, 2013 @ 2:52 pm
SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing Co. conducted another test flight of its 787 passenger jet over the West Coast.
The company said Monday's flight was designed to test system upgrades and not to check operation of the plane's batteries.
Airlines have 50 of the planes, which Boeing calls the Dreamliner. But they're still grounded after two of them overheated in January. Boeing is trying to assure regulators that after some design changes, the batteries are safe. Boeing expects to make at least one battery-test flight.
On Monday one of the 787s made a 2-hour flight from the Seattle area to Moses Lake, Wash., then returned to Boeing Field. Boeing conducted one test flight of the 787 last week and two in February.
Boeing shares fell 60 cents to close at $85.25. The stock is up 13 percent so far this year.

Considering how the original was a 12-hour game just to play through, and this is a TRUE HD remake (not some 720p remastering), this sounds fair. Pricier than I'd like, but fair. Plus, I expect at least a few collectables or extras to be thrown in, so you'll probably end up paying $2 for an hour the first time playing through. Considering how Super Mario Bros, a port from 1985, takes me two hours to beat (I don't use Warp pipes) and costs $5, that sounds about right.

A 2 year old port of a last-gen game from a Japanese publisher gets a Nintendo console port that takes advantage of the new system to its fullest?
It's Resident Evil 4 all over again!
Goof Troop! We always stick together!
I have a feeling Lorule is connected to Termina somehow. Perhaps there will be a link between this game and a Majora's Mask 3Dmake?
@Drop-Dead-Fred IMO, the Resident Evil discounts are a 3DS Halloween special enough.
And now I'm getting Mercs 3D.
So, in short, this is what NintendoLand should have been?
Sounds promising.
Probably a holiday title, if the last few Kirby games are any indicator, but its good to see that the 3DS is going to have some steam left next year.
And just like that, my interest in this game doubled.
It sounds like this is sort of testing the waters for changing the formula with Zelda Wii U. I hope this ends up being good, if only because the Zelda dungeon format has been a bit repetitive this past decade. High quality, but predictable.
@DarkAngel_17 They could make their own console. With blackjack and hookers.
I wonder if China would be more tolerant of the American Xbox or the Japanese PlayStation and Nintendo products. They don't have a historically good relationship with either country, and that may poison local attempts to expand.
Looking at this from another point of view, imagine a Chinese gaming console being brought to Japan and the West. Could that possibly be the next big thing in console gaming? A fourth competitor?
No surprise from the headline. Remember, five of the ten best-selling Sonic games of all time have been Olympic crossovers with the Mario crew. The best selling 2D Sonic since the Genesis was Rush for the DS. Secret Rings sold more than Sonic 06 for the 360 and PS3 combined, Colors on the Wii sold more than Generations on either system, Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube sold more than either Dreamcast Sonic Adventure, and even the widely hated Black Knight sold nearly a million copies worldwide.
Damn, those are great bundles. With the PS4 and Xbone not coming out in Japan until 2014, this might give the Wii U the local edge it needs.
Mewtwo: "And this is not even my final form!"
According to VGChartz, a useful if occasionally incorrect website, Japan has already bought about 2.3 million 3DS's as of mid-August. That gives Nintendo 4 and a half months to sell the remaining 2.7 million. During that time, Japan will receive:
*Pokemon X/Y (Anywhere from 3 to 5 million sales in Japan 2013 alone)
*Monster Hunter 4 (2 to 4 million sales in the same time frame)
*Mario Party 3DS (1 to 1.5 million sales)
*Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (0.5 to 1 million sales)
*One Piece (Hundreds of Thousands of Copies)
In addition, games like Tomodachi Collection, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Luigi's Mansion 2, Ace Attorney 5, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Monster Hunter 3G, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario Kart 7, NSMB2, and SM3DL should each sell thousands of copies.
Now, at this point in time, the 3DS has a physical software to hardware ratio of about 3 to 1 in Japan. So, assuming that a lot of people already own 3DS's and are buying new games for it, let's say that every 4 or 5 sales of these big games sells 1 3DS.
Pokemon X/Y alone sells a bit under a million 3DS's, a third of the goal. Let's say 800,000.
Monster Hunter 4 sells over half a million. About 600,000.
Mario Party 3D sells a quarter million 3DS's.
Zelda sells 150,000 3DS's.
One Piece sells, I dunno, let's go with a conservative 50,000.
In total, that's about 2/3 of the way to the goal of 5 million from the current point based on those FIVE titles alone!
EVERY GAME IN THE 3DS LIBRARY EXCEPT THOSE FIVE would have to sell under a million units.
I think Nintendo will be fine.
If this came out in February, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat. Today... I'm still getting my money's worth from Pikmin 3, and Pokemon and Wind Waker HD both come out in a bit over a month. That's not to say I won't buy this, but the delay didn't exactly make it more likely.
On the plus side, I'm glad this game is as good as it is. Great non-Nintendo platformers are a bit hard to come by nowadays.
Something is tremendous alright.
As something of a series noob whose only played the 3DS version of IV, which version of Street Fighter would be the best choice?
Thanks in advance.
Wii GOTY for 2014 confirmed?
$5 a character? Pretty steep.
Hmm... how many blocks is it?
Too close to reality to be satire.
So... its the Wii version, but sacrifices some of the technical feats for a lack of waggle? I'm okay with this.
If we can get some sort of bundle for $15 including at least four new characters and new skins, it would be worth the wait. Or even better, if all eight suspected characters are released by then, give us ALL the DLC for $25 or $30. That way, they'd still be making almost $100 per copy sold and still buy some good will from Wii U owners.
I'm a very lucky individual indeed.
Why, do you ask?
Because I'm playing this for the First Time!
The 3DSi needs to have at least 32 GB of internal storage.
The lack of jumping makes sense. It wasn't in the previous Arkham games, and Batman already has a host of other similar abilities. So long as there are no VVVVVV-style 2 inch barriers, I'm cool with this.
That was surprisingly non-garbagey.
Hopefully The Last Ranger can fix the problems people had with the original game. It could be one of the best games for the 3DS this year if things turn out right.
If Mercenaries is a similar price in America, I know what my next eShop purchase will be!
Those are GREAT deals.
I can see his point. At least in KI:U, any player with at least basic skills could jump into the game and start playing, paying as much or little attention to the dialogue as they want. The story of KI:U was great, but when replaying it, it was nice to never be required to slow down for the plot to get ahead.
More melee weapons would be welcome, but would have to be handled carefully. They'd have to be as valuable as guns, and as difficult and rewarding to obtain. Perhaps there could be some assortment of selectable melee weapons with strengths and weaknesses? Or maybe you can only carry one at a time? Perhaps more advanced weapons like halberds are harder to use until your character levels up a bit.
It's a great appetizer of a game he made.
@JustYourAverageBleh To clear a Canadian warehouse of spare Wii parts most likely.
$2.50 a game? Bargain!
@RupeeClock Call of Duty is actually a pretty big PS3 franchise over there, sort of like how Resident Evil is pretty big outside of Japan. Don't worry though; I have no doubt that Pokemon will have far superior legs.
@HarmoKnight Those are some pretty hefty titles. How big is your SD Card?
I think they introduced a new Black XL this week.
A service like this in the West would finally give me an excuse to retire the ol' iPod.
I'll watch a few minutes.
@DiscordedTeeJay It's a translation of the Japanese name. I don't think we ever got an official English name.

6. THE PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: There will be a maximum of thirty (30) prizes (each, a "Prize" and collectively, the "Prizes") available to be won. In the event of a confirmed winner who has submitted his or her winning entry automatically with the purchase of an Eligible Vehicle, the applicable Prize consists of a cheque payable to the confirmed winner in the amount of the Eligible Vehicle's selling price (inclusive of applicable fees and taxes, however excluding any charges for additional parts and/or accessories of the Eligible Vehicle associated with the confirmed winner's Eligible Purchase. By way of example, if a confirmed winner purchased a 2013 Rio LX + (MT) in Bright Silver in the province of Alberta then his/her Prize will consist of a cheque payable in the amount of $17,184.00 (calculated as $15,395.00 (the selling price), plus the following applicable fees: Colour charge of $200.00, Delivery & Destination charge of $1,455.00 and taxes of $134.00) – (the "Eligible Purchase Value").

The maximum cheque payable for a New Vehicle that is won will be MSRP of the vehicle less all Rebates. The maximum cheque payable for a Used Vehicle will be the price listed on GoAuto.ca at the time of purchase. As a result, confirmed winners may not receive a Prize of the same exact amount that they paid at the dealership for the Eligible Vehicle. In the event of a confirmed winner who has earned his/her winning Entry by submitting a Request, the value of the applicable Prize will be drawn by the Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, from within the pool of Eligible Purchases made on the day on which the applicable Request was received (or, if no Eligible Purchases were made on that day, then the pool from next prior day on which there were Eligible Purchases will be used), and consists of a cheque payable to the confirmed winner in the amount of the Eligible Purchase Value of the Eligible Purchase drawn as described above and will vary depending on the Eligible Purchase Value of the Eligible Purchase drawn to determine the Prize value. Each Prize must be accepted as awarded and is not transferable or assignable (except as may be specifically permitted by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion).
