The PlayStation brand is closely tied to a lot of big-name games, but it hasn't been tied to many of them for quite as long as Twisted Metal. The gritty car-combat series – which stars a bunch of crazies in heavily armed vehicles who massacre each other for a chance at a wish from a dark trickster god – has been with Sony's consoles since their earliest days. In fact, every PlayStation console except the PS3 was accompanied by one within months of its launch, so it's kind of a surprise that it took more than five years for the current-gen Twisted Metal to finally arrive.
Still, the time off seems to have done the franchise good. Another blood-caked reboot, the new Twisted Metal packs in lavish production values, a ton of variety, an old-school metal soundtrack and all the explosive high-speed craziness its fans expect. It's not perfect, but considering how sparse the car-combat genre is right now, it's pretty fantastic.
Twisted Metal's basic action is more or less the same as it's always been: you drive around at high speeds in big, mostly urban arenas, picking up whatever glowing weapon powerups are laying around and using them to hammer your opponents until they explode. Your rides are ridiculous jalopies with aftermarket armor panels, giant guns and significantly different abilities, including a special weapon (now with an alternate fire) unique to each ride.
Police SUV Outlaw, for example, has an auto-aiming turret that fires bullets and grenades, while the Shadow hearse carries a coffin (complete with live occupant) that spins out of control once fired. The Reaper motorbike lets riders carry a chainsaw (which can be dragged along the ground to ignite it, thereby making it ultra-powerful) and an RPG launcher, and the Talon chopper – the only flying vehicle – packs a side-mounted, manually aimed minigun turret and a magnet that can pick up and drop other cars. And that's just a little sample of what's available.
Also, regardless of which ride you pick, you'll have access to a handful of "secret" abilities activated by hitting the d-pad. These include the freeze shot (which stalls enemy motors until they either mash buttons or get hit, and which is a pain in the ass to get hit by), the ability to drop landmines and a brief protective shield. As you progress through the game, you'll also unlock "super" versions of these, enabling you to absorb and use your enemies' weapons and drop super-destructive mines when you're out of ammo.
There's so much at your disposal, in fact, that getting the hang of it all can be a little tough. However, while there's a quick, optional training mode you can dive into (which we recommend, as the deceptively simple controls hide a ton of not-so-obvious functionality), there's no real tutorial in Twisted Metal; once you start, any learning you do will be through experimentation in the heat of battle.
It's an approach that fits in perfectly with the game's old-school, tough-as-nails mentality; while the visuals might be a little more colorful than previous Twisted Metals, the action is just as unrelenting and the difficulty is even more unforgiving. Especially when you're on your own.
For a series that built its reputation largely on multiplayer, the new Twisted Metal seems oddly focused on providing a solitary, story-driven experience. That's not to say the game doesn't have serious multiplayer chops – it does, offering not only 16-player online but four-player split-screen versus and two-player split-screen co-op. But unlocking the game's coolest vehicles and weapons means playing through the campaign (which, again, is something you can do with a friend).
The campaign's also structured a lot differently than previous games. Where earlier Twisted Metals were built like fighting games – pick a character, run through their story and then do it again a dozen or so more times – Twisted Metal narrows its roster of protagonists to three, and puts players through each story in turn. Another reboot of the series' plot, this time presented with live-action cutscenes, the campaign begins with homicidal clown Sweet Tooth, continues from the perspective of death-obsessed motorcyclist Mr. Grimm, and culminates with the crazed ambitions of supermodel-turned-psychopath Dollface, all of them competing for a single wish from strangely omnipotent industrialist Calypso.
While the story's confined to just three characters, they're not restricted to any one vehicle, which keeps things from getting monotonous. Mr. Grimm can drive Sweet Tooth's transforming van, for example, and Dollface can ride Grimm's motorcycle. Sweet Tooth can slam around in Dollface's Darkside semi – or in any of the game's other numerous, weird rides, for that matter.
In fact, most story events begin with you picking out three vehicles. Unlike in previous Metals, you don't get multiple lives; instead, dying during an event results in complete failure. If you can make it to a garage before your ride blows up, though, you can trade it for a fresh one and leave it for repairs.
Each storyline is divided into six events, which – given the game's brutal difficulty even on the "normal" (read: easiest) setting – can take a lot longer to get through than you'd think. These start out as relatively familiar vehicular deathmatches, but quickly spiral into crazed dogfights with enemy-spawning 18-wheelers; matches in which an "electric cage" teleports around the map and drains your health while you're not fighting inside it; and high-speed races that tend to end with all the losers exploding in unison.
Oh, and then there are the boss fights, each one tailored to the protagonist you're playing as, and each one more ridiculous and seemingly impossible than the last. To reveal more would spoil some of the best moments in the game, but be prepared to face off against some genuinely colossal machinery before the game is through.
Given how crammed full of different match types the single-player campaign is, we were expecting to see something similar from multiplayer. So it was disappointing to find that multiplayer matches are constrained to just seven basic match types: deathmatch; Last Man Standing (like deathmatch, but with limited lives); Hunted (one player is the target, and his/her killer then becomes the next target); team variations of those three; and Nuke, which we'll get to in a minute.
Don't get us wrong: the basic match types are a lot of fun. The action, as always, is superfast and almost hilarious violent, with death coming swiftly and repeatedly (thankfully, a new vehicle and a fresh respawn are usually just a few seconds away). And while the match types are "simple," the maps – eight in all, if you don't count the smaller, sectioned-off versions of the larger ones – are just as huge, fun to explore and filled with hidden secrets and strategic opportunities as they are in single-player.
Even so, given how much potential the single-player campaign hinted at, we were hoping to be able to set up our own death races or electric-cage matches. No such luck. Again, that's a surprise in a series that's traditionally been very multiplayer-focused.
On the other hand, single-player doesn't have Nuke. An exclusively team-based game mode, Nuke makes players take turns playing offense and defense. Offensive players have to find and capture the opposing team's "leaders" (who aren't player-controlled and hang out in stationary turrets), then drag them over to the nearest missile truck. Once they're in range, they'll need to stick close to the truck until a meter fills up, at which point they can "sacrifice" the leader to the truck.
Pull that off, and the real fun begins. The truck will fire off a missile, which you'll be placed in full control of, and which you'll need to guide into the opposing team's statue, a massive neon effigy of their leader (i.e. Sweet Tooth, Dollface, etc.). This is actually tougher than it sounds; the missile moves fairly slowly and can't climb too high, so the opposing team actually has a pretty good chance of shooting it down. Get it past them, however, and you'll score a point and be one step closer to destroying the statue.
Like anything else that's this elaborate, Nuke can be frustrating if you fail at the last second, but otherwise it's a uniquely fun and involving departure from the other, more straightforward multiplayer modes.
Whether you're playing solo or multiplayer, though, Twisted Metal is a pretty compelling package. The carnage is uniquely fun, the cutscenes straddle a line between slickly produced and cheesy, and the stories are surprisingly involving. And the soundtrack – which combines '70s, '80s and '90s metal with occasional gangsta-rap tracks – always manages to complement the action perfectly (and if you find that it doesn't, you can edit the playlist). It's got a few warts, sure, but there's a lot to love here.
Twisted Metal: Black? Yes. Not only is 2001's gritty, fantastic-for-its-time reboot showing its age, but the action in the 2011 version is a lot smoother and more packed with interesting things to do. Sadly, some of TM:B's most brilliant touches – like being able to crash an airliner or unleash a destructive Ferris wheel – are absent from the new game, but the abundance of game types and cool secrets (not to mention working online play) more than make up for them. In any case, Twisted Metal comes with a free download voucher for Twisted Metal: Black, so you can grab it and judge for yourself.
Rage's "Road Rage" multiplayer? Yes. Rage may look considerably prettier than Twisted Metal, but its car-combat multiplayer feels slow and dull by comparison, even ignoring the fact that it supports only four players. Comparing a shooter's car-combat multiplayer to a game devoted entirely to the vehicular manslaughter might be a little unfair, but the fact that we're doing it at all is a testament to how scarce decent car-combat games have become.
ModNation Racers? Depends on what you're looking for; obviously, ModNation has it all over Twisted Metal when it comes to designing your own tracks and racing – something that, while new in TM, is still rare and not part of multiplayer. If you're looking for the pure thrill of shooting missiles at other cars, though, Twisted Metal's demolition matches are where you want to be, with action that's freer, faster and far more violent than anything ModNation's got under its hood.
While its character roster is smaller than previous games, and its multiplayer seems disappointingly basic next to its single-player campaign, Twisted Metal is nevertheless a compellingly badass game filled with fun things to discover and unlock. This isn't a perfect Twisted Metal, but as comebacks go, it's pretty strong.

ER Nursing vs Floor Nursing - page 2
Hi, ALL! I've been a Med-Surg/Tele nurse for about 5 years now, and I am planning to advance my knowledge and skills by stepping up to the next level, which is ER. --What qualities do I need to be an ER nurse? --What are... Read More
- 0Nov 16, '11 by darkangel83--good job! u convert that stress to some form of adrenaline rush and save people's lives!! but ER gets paid more right compared to floor nursing?
I'm not sure how it works in the US...where I work in Canada our pay scale is based on years of experience, not necessarily the area you work in! So all 1st year nurses will be paid the same...all 2nd year paid the same...etc.
- 0Nov 16, '11 by shoegalRNI am an ER nurse as well as SANE, so I will try to answer some of your questions for you.
--What qualities do I need to be an ER nurse?
You need to be assertive. You need to be able to think fast on your feet, and anticipate for the doctor will do. This is where it differs from the floor. You will not have a diganosis on your patient, you need to know your protocols like the back of your hand, and you need to be take initative. By the time the doctor gets in to see your pt, you should already have your pt worked up. Try to stay one step ahead. Also, you need to keep a level head in a REAL emergency (trauma, code, STEMI) and have a sense of urgency. You can't get flustered during critical times.
--What are the certifications that I need to complete (aside from BLS/ACLS/PALS) to be more marketable in applying in the ER and the skills (and attitude) that I need to master to survive being in the ER?
You will need all those and TNCC if your hospital is a trauma center. Even if your hospital is not trauma, it's still good to have TNCC. Also go for CEN about a year or so after being in the ER.
--Aside from saving lives (which is the most important part), does the level of stress EQUALS the pay?
In all honesty, I think I handle the stress very well. The be honest, I work well under pressure and I love the choas, the trauma and all the drama that comes with working in the ER. I work weekend nights and look forward to going to work every weekend. I know I'm going to be well entertained and it's worth the pay for me.
--Are the doctors nicer in the ER?
I work in a Level I trauma teaching hospital and I deal with residents and attendings. We work together as a team. The residents sometimes look to the nurses for advice. They will come to trust you, as well as the attendings.
--How do u deal with (multiple) nasty family members in a professional way on top of being busy with other patients?
--Is it worth it if i leave floor nursing and be an ER nurse?
Yes! I don't think I could go back to floor nursing, even if I wanted to. I sometimes work Stepdown and I count the minutes to the end of the shift.
YES, i need your help. Doesnt matter if you're a new grad, experienced or retired Your advices, opinions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!
- 0Nov 17, '11 by 8mpgQuote from RN_survivorYour larger hospitals (say 300+ bed) will often have larger education departments and have internships once or twice a year. Look for any teaching hospital.THANKS, 8mpg! Great advice of a real picture in the ER! so.. where would u suggest that i get internships / formal education from? do hospitals offer that? or is there like a training center for it?
And as far as salary....where I work in Texas, its based of years experience, not department. I got no raise going from MedSurg to ICU
- 0Nov 17, '11 by ysprobyI am a Med/Surg nurse and I currently work at an agency. They called me to ask if I could work in ED if they kept me in my scope of practice (which obviously to them that was taking vitals all night). It was really over rated. I was disappointed but happy I got the experience because the only patients that came through where children who cut their finger in the middle of the night, kid w/ snake bite, pain med seeker, stomach aches and it was BORING! Easy money but over rated. I kinda felt offended that they gave me triage but thanks for the free cash!! I will take it any time. ER on the other hand is not for me!
- 0Nov 17, '11 by AppleRN4After a year experience as a tele RN, I got bored and transferred to the ER and have loved it ever since. As an ER nurse, you definitely need good communication skills, as you'll constantly communicate to MD's regarding anything from a patient needing more pn meds to communicating that 6th sense that there's something wrong with a patient purely based on experience. So yes, you'll need to be comfortable talking to MD's, assertive, critical thinking, etc.
Qualifications: Besides what you've already stated....if you're going to a trauma hospital, they like TNCC certification or CEN.
Are doctors nice?: Well, that depends on the doctor, and no, they're not nicer in the ER.
How to deal with multi family members: Advice them that you're busy/ have sick patients that are higher acuity than their loved ones-- notify a charge nurse/float nurse to help you address their needs, and if all else fails and the family is still rude, then by all means call security (most ER's have them on stand-by) to escort them out. :smoking:
Worth it?: It was worth it for me, but that's a decision you'll have to make by yourself.
Good luck.
- 0Nov 17, '11 by NeoPediRNI've been an ER nurse for 4 months and have an eclectic background including psych, med-surg, pediatric/neonatal intensive care stepdown. The ER is everything I ever hoped it would be.
--What qualities do I need to be an ER nurse? : you need organization, prioritization, strong instinct, team player attitude, and ability to stand your ground.
--What are the certifications that I need to complete (aside from BLS/ACLS/PALS) to be more marketable in applying in the ER and the skills (and attitude) that I need to master to survive being in the ER? : TNCC and NRP will help you. I'm not sure personality wise exactly what to tell you. You just have to show you're hungry for it.
--Aside from saving lives (which is the most important part), does the level of stress EQUALS the pay? : No, I am underpaid but my coworkers are what makes it worth it.
--Are the doctors nicer in the ER? : It's 6:1, half a dozen to the other. Some are fantastic and some make you feel like you'd risk your life in an emergency to go to a hospital further away if you knew they were the doctor on....that's why being able to stand your ground in the ER is important and know the policies/protocols...because some will push the boundaries.
--How do u deal with (multiple) nasty family members in a professional way on top of being busy with other patients? : This is easy. If you are emergent you have my undivided attention until you're through the crisis. It's about the patient not about the family, if they're in the way in the middle of the crisis then they will be escorted out until their family member is stable. If a non emergent patient or their family member is making a fuss while I'm in the middle of my crisis then they can continue to have a tantrum until I'm done or we have fabulous nursing supervisors who will be happy to reiterate this.
--Is it worth it if i leave floor nursing and be an ER nurse? : only you can decide this.
- 0Nov 17, '11 by Leda1stI am a "float" nurse, so I work everywhere, but I consider ER my "home" so to speak. ER is not all excitement and trauma - lots of people use it as a free clinic and come for the STUPIDEST reasons. Because of that, I like working the floor (as I became a nurse to work with sick and injured people, not deal with BS). Having said that, I love the adrenaline rushes when they occur, and ER nurses seem to have a sharper sense of humor, which I enjoy. I also like having the doc right there instead of having to page them, and it does feel like more of a "team". But remember, even in a Level 1 trauma center, it is usually "feast or famine" in the ER: either all BS patients, or all really sick folks all at once. You have to be ready to deal with that, AND be able to take report (from EMS) and pitch in to help/be a team at a moment's notice - those things don't seem to happen as much or as well on the floor. Best of luck to you!

The Madeleine Brand Show for May 10, 2012
President Obama comes out in support of gay marriage
ABC News
A screen grab of President Obama as he announces his support of same sex marriage.
Yesterday, President Obama announced his support for gay marriage in a sedate, one-on-one, midday interview with ABC News. Although many supporters of gay marriage applauded the move, insiders speculate that his hand was forced due to Vice President Joe Biden's recent comments approving of gay marriage.
American University historian Alan Lichtman puts the announcement of President Obama in context of past Presidential declarations, like Franklin Roosevelt denouncing Hitler only after Kristallnacht in 1938, and John F. Kennedy's initial hesitance about supporting the civil rights movement.
Why did the President opt for a midday news interview instead of a grand, sweeping speech? Or at least a prime-time news conference? What could it mean for this year's election?
Alan Lichtman, American University historian.

Northern California's "farm-to-table" movement just entered an entirely different realm: farm to barrel. Almanac's handcrafted, bottle conditioned, seasonal artisanal ales highlight local farm ingredients, just like your favorite restaurant. This beer, the second ever bottling from Almanac, was brewed with 1,000 pounds of organically grown plums from Twin Girls Farm in Yettem, California. This addition, along with the blending in of rich piloncillo which is an unrefined brown sugar popular in Mexican desserts adds subtle sweetness and complexity to this mildy hoppy, saison styled brew.

The last day of 2012......
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-31-2012 - 10:57am
What special traditions do you have tonight? Do you make resolutions?? I am still hoping to tackle my office-- but alas, it may be one of those things that I always talk about and never get done. Christmas was good-- some highs, some lows-- but that's the holidays right? I'm just glad that it's now looking forward to 2013--- for me, lots I have hope for-- losing my weight and looking amazing by August when we go to Vegas to renew our vows with Elvis (10 year anniversary). I hope we can make good decisions going forward with the kids' education and if that means moving, then to have the strength and courage to take that plunge. I pray for great health for not only me, but my family-- I pray for fellowship in that many of my bffs have moved in the past 2 years and I am wanting to connect with someone locally. I'm also going to be more committed to ME TIME and also WE TIME and find a regular sitter or swappers. Another BIG thing for me is to financial be more aware. My GF's hubby lost his job in July and within 20 min she knew exactly how long they could live off of what they had saved-- I was amazed by that. I am definitely NOT that savvy and WILL be this year. Mint.com and spreadsheets will be a part of my life.
This year I am grateful for all of you--- my constant friends that I know will be there.... supporting and encouraging me, for this I am thankful !
Happy New Year !
|Mon, 12-31-2012 - 12:38pm
Hello! Vows in Vegas!!! Awesome! LOVE Elvis too- how fun!
No real resolutions for me, just to keep up my exercising, have been on a good routine for a few months.
No plans tonight. We never go out for New Years. I might take the girls to Mall of America tomorrow to do something special. DH back at work today after a week off.
Had a little party yesterday for the Vikings game- so happy they won!
Happy New Year!:)
