Not a bad idea...

Pros: Game mechanics are fairly straight forward, and where things might be a little unwieldy at times the game never pushes you too hard to 'think fast' making the controls fun and interesting. The originality does keep it fairly interesting. The minions are a riot too, collecting bits of junk to wear into combat, like giant candy canes and pumpkins. Extra credit for the programmer who gave them sombreros and those mustaches.
Cons: Two things really got me, one this game was clearly not bug checked, and if it was they should get their money back. In less than 10 hours of game play, my system locked up no less than four times. Additionally, when I accidentally summoned my minions back from pushing an object too soon I couldn't resume pushing the object, forcing a reset and setting me back a small ways. The autosave kept these from being a huge issue, but they shouldn't have been an issue at all. Second, I almost never needed money. You get forges that allow you to purchase upgrades to your minions and your overlord, and throughout the game from that point on I was super powered. I almost never lost a minion until near the end, and as such was never challenged.

Had its fair share of bugs too. Minions keep getting stuck or vanishing from the game all together. Second to last boss battle was interupted by the boss defeat scene when I had only halfway defeated it.
Still had a lot of fun playing the game. Would have been nice to have some unlockable content or outfits for the minions but what the game did provide was entertaining.
Shake your minions right!

Game play is summed up in a rinse, lather, repeat format where everything you have played in the original Overlord is completely the same, except that the mapping for the controller is a bit… different. No longer are you using the right stick to sweep your minions around to break things, you are now pointing and clicking with the hopes that they will respond. The real issue is the waggling to charge up the minions. While the catch and shake side of it is all well and good, the releasing is a bit sloppy. There are many times I burned through minions because I couldn't get the release portion down. When you have a game rely on something as key as this to continue on, it is important to get those controls tight/better. My wrist hasn't felt the same since.
Battles are the same as the original Overlord, the action/adventure layout with themed puzzles and trial and error combos. It is easy to get your minions to target and attack an enemy but it is tougher to get them to attack multiple enemies, even with the assistance of targeting. While minion control is an issue, the clunky feeling of attacking with the overlord himself is more of an issue. From swinging your axe to casting magic, it can sometimes be a chore.
Story is well written, as I expect anything from this series to be. As a forgotten child of a local lord who is obsessed with returning his kingdom to his former glory, you find yourself in a Cinderella-esque setup.
All in all, I have to admit that this is a fun game until you hit some of the flaws of the controllers. While it was a good idea to attempt the waggle, it shouldn't have been a key portion of the game itself. Rent this and see if you enjoy it, but don't come crying to me when your wrist kills you from exploding minions
Wonderful yet too easy and short.

What really irked me though was the map. there's about 12 or so sections in the game, if mind serves correctly, and they're all laid out in (what should be) order on the map menu. however, the exits don't match up. The menu may show two areas bordering each-other east to west but when you actually go to western most area and try to take the east exit, you may end up in another place altogether.
Also disappointing is hit detection and its sound. You can hit enemies with your weapon to aid your minions but there is no animation or sound to let you know you made contact. It's not too big a deal, but it just seems more unrealistic to me that way.
All in all, it's a good game for 10 hours worth of entertainment.
Overlord Dark Legend from an Overlord Fan

As a point with this one the game itself has a drawing story, and an open line but the same kinda repetition as the previous 3.. Rebuild your hordes by reclaiming stolen hives and then wage your own personal war on all those who cross your evil path.
The graphics for this one leave a little to be wished for but they are on par for what I expected to come from the Wii.
The control system is great and involving which does make up for the graphics and as with all the Overlord games the Minions are worth all in sheer laughter

The graphics were, like many of you have said, a bit glitchy from time to time, but I didn't have the problems of the game locking up on me.
I didn't finish the game, but I did log a few hours over the course of a week or so and I did enjoy this game, mostly because of the minions. I have a dark sense of humor I guess - but I think they are so blasted cute!
I just love having them smash up objects and then say, "For the massssttteerrrr!" It is good entertainment. ;)
That being said, don't expect too much from this game. I know I didn't, it was a mere rental and I had fun with it.
A solid 7 for me!
I love this game

Another shortcoming of it is being shorter than most Wii games I played, I beat it about 4 days after renting.
Now for the good, I found the controls to be very good, controlling my minions was easy to do and it was simple to get them to collect things for me, not to mention the strategy involved with them, you had to use certain ones at certain times, and I found their dialogue to be hilarious. The story was simple and didn't require much fluff, all it seemed to do was to give you an excuse to bash things in with your weapon and minions. As non-existant it was, I enjoyed it because to me, it was hilarious as well, so even though others may find it bad, I found it good because I wanted to get straight to the action and not hear people blab about nothing (or everything depending on the game).
Overall, it was a good experience, but not one that I will probably experience again due to the notorious glitches that I am sure that everyone has heard about, not to mention the short story that only takes a few hours to go through. If you don't mind the short playthrough and a few glitches don't bother you, then by all means, I recommend this game as it had a lot of other things that were certainly enjoyable such as the infamous endearing minions that made the game what it is today.

It's just too short.

the fact that you have minions to do your bidding is asome and there are different minions for different tasks giving the game a puzzle type feel to it, dont worry they arent that hard, not even puzzles at all, just this minion can walk here and this can do that, basic strength and weaknesses. you get to power-up your guys and yourself with money that you collect and money is EVERYWHERE so something that causts $7,000 dollers it isnt that hard to get, you will have that amount about 3/4 the way through the mission so it makes it easy. another ASOME feature is the teleporter, so when they say go to this place and its all the way on the other side of the map it takes 2 secs instead of the usuall 10-20 mins. this game was a mix of all the things i like in a game, a game that isnt too chalenging, simple to complete, money and weapons are easy to obtain, just all around good fun, and the fact that you can order others to do what you want makes it that more fun because you can take the sacrifice.
i havent played the other OVERLORD's but i have them on my list so i HIGHLY recomend this game to ENYBODY!!! (wouldn't buy it though, no replay value whats-so-ever good rent though)
fun but over too soon.

reason #1, it is super easy. i think there was like 3 times in the entire game were i kinda came close to dying. 99.9% of the time you are sending your endless supply of minions onto the enemy/boss and never really worrying about the consequences. making the game seem redundant and a little boring at times. it also makes the game fly by since you never have to start over or try a different tactic on a boss that you just can't beat the first time through. this leads me to reason #2
reason #2, it is a very short game. like we are talking maybe 6-8 hrs. possibly 8-9 if you do the side quests. but i mean the game seems to be made this way. whenever the next series of upgrades come out you have so much money you end up buying the best thing right away and then just hording money until the next time.
all in all it was a fun time waster. not much thought is needed and the puzzles are super simple if you can actually call them that. this is a good game to rent not to buy.

More minions, more problems

In a twisted fairy tale world, you play a young noble tormented by his insufferable older siblings. Then, on his 16th birthday, he gets a menacing suit of armor and the ability to control minions. The game then takes you through his quest to steal power from his siblings and rule with an iron fist. Pretty sweet, really.
Controlling your minions will instantly remind you of Pikmin, but the minions in Overlord are a bit smarter than their flower-headed counterparts. Only the blue minions even go into water, file along narrow corridors and know how to handle themselves in combat. They're also far hardier, only dying after putting up a good fight. And spawning them is far easier, simply calling them from portals with the life force of fallen enemies. This makes the game streamlined and easy to play.
You'll collect tons of money which you can spend on armor and weapon upgrades for yourself and upgrades to your minions. However, you'll have so much money, you can buy everything quickly.
This brings us to the biggest flaws in the game.
First, it's easy. Even the bosses don't pose much threat and you can continually spawn new minions to replace the fallen ones. There are no real puzzle are strategy elements to the game, just four types of minions with special abilities that get you through environmental obstacles.
Second, it's short. Overlord is over in about 7 hours. Even short RPGs should last over 10 hours. This seriously hurts the game, since you can do everything in a day and there's no replay value.
Third, it's small. There's about 15 areas on the map and each has pre-determined pathways with invisible barriers. This is the part of Fable I didn't want to revisit.
It's a nice trip, but it's so incredibly short. Too bad, because it's good while it lasts. It's a great example of a rental.
Fun Game

The big complaint I have it that I can't tell when the game has saved itself or not. I read a walkthrough on line and it said when the game has a loading symbol running in between scenes then it has saved the game. But that doesn't always seem true.

Libertarian Nick Gillespie owns Rachel MaddowSubmitted by RonPaul4Prez2016 on Tue, 08/27/2013 - 12:22
An oldie but goodie.
- Login to post comments
I'm very tired
too tired to suffer Richie Maddow
He has no integrity - none.
Don't even get me started about the crowd cult.
Another Attempt to Paint All Criticism of Obama & Holder
as racist. The only reason people are upset the US government sold guns to Mexican Drug Cartels is because Obama and Holder are BLACK???
Someone needs to call out the race mongers and shut them down. What contempt Maddow, Maher and liberals have for their fellow citizens. You don't like this abuse of power and gov't scandal because you are a stupid red neck racist. What a bunch of *ssholes
Nick is no good guy
Bill maher is a real peice of trash and randy Maddow is whar monger for the democraps
Why watch these shows? They are an assault on your mind.
Liberty = Responsibility
Bohold a pale horse
William Cooper wrote about all of the events taking place now and also stated clearly their exact purpose. Now the events that were spoken of have and are coming true. Stating that their intended purpose now is any different than the purpose that was stated long ago and declared by William Cooper is just a misdirection. The fact of the matter is that Fast and Furious, Sandy Hook, Aurora Theater and the attacks that continue ARE intended to make people dislike the second amendment. These ARE being carried out by the same thugs who thought them up to begin with. They simply have a new generation of thugs to aid them in their assault on the people of the world. Call "Conspiracy Theory!" all you like but "truth is an absolute defense against the charge of paranoia."
Aren't Nick and Rachael both war mongers.
Free includes debt-free!
Not sure about his foreign policy views...
...but Nickie G is no libertarian in the strict sense of the word. He's libertarian-ish, kinda.
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
I'm stunned
They are so much in denial.
How can their brains even function?
It's pretty evident she supports only democrats. She doesn't have to pick either yet she does.
She supports a party over truth, justice and the law. That's so wrong!
"She supports a party over truth, justice and the law"
Correction: she supports her own comfortable standard of living as a whore for socialism over truth, justice, and law.
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
Was that a re-run of Pravda Nightly News c. 1974?
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
The ATF - Ted Cruz
I watched Ted Cruz (R) (US Senator, TX)asking in a Senate hearing, asking the Honorable (judge) head of the ATF, who I BELIEVE is an Obama appointee, if prosecuting illegal gun sales was a priority of the ATF. The answer was yes, it is a priority. Ted Cruz then asked the head of the ATF how many illegal gun sales illegal immigrants tried purchasing in 2011. The head of the ATF didn't have any facts or figures. Ted Cruz did, he said it was over 28,000, so he then asked if prosecuting illegal gun sales was a priority, and the answer was yes. Granted the ATF asked for money for this enforcement for budget year 2010, and got it, and then requested more for 2011. Ted Cruz asked how many prosecutions the ATF had for the 28,000 illegal attempts at gun purchases from illegal immigrants, and the ATF didn't have an answer. Ted Cruz did, and the amount was less than 10. So 28,000 plus cases of illegal activity, with less than 10 prosecutions on Federal Gun Sales (for illegal immigrants) and Ted Cruz asked if it really is a priority with such numbers, especially since they requested budget money for enforcement. And then you listen to this Democratic Hit Job Rachel Maddow going on and on about a god damn "CONSPIRACY THEORY" and that less than a man Maher just spewing ignorance and more dumbass rhetoric for the idiots of America. And people act like Bush did it. That those Tea Partiers did it, that it's all a conspiracy against OBAMA. Wow we have really come far. Rachel Maddow is not stupid; Rachel Maddow epitomizes the very essence of what is wrong with 2 sided politics and she is a disgrace to the meaning of the word journalism.

New Survey Reveals That Adult Children Prefer Mom Over Dad
(CBS Radio) — From the day a parent brings home their newborn baby, it is expected of the parent that they will care for the child, nurture the child, and protect the child — until the child goes off to college, or is old enough and responsible enough to shelter and support themselves.
Over the last decade, more and more grown children have returned to the nest, for reasons such as divorce, unemployment, or "failure to launch."
What's less talked about, perhaps, is that over the last decade, more and more parents have moved in with their adult children.
The weak economy over the last several years has contributed to a sharp incline of co-living amongst parents and their adult children. Many elderly Americans are living on fixed-incomes and some of those incomes are not enough to make ends meet. Additionally, a widowed elderly person may prefer to live with their adult child soon after their spouse has passed away, due to the fear of living alone, and/or having to solely support themselves and take care of a household.
Recently, Visiting Angels, an independent agency which cares for seniors in their homes, conducted a survey that sheds light on how adult children really feel about the possibility of their parents moving in with them. Around 1100 adult children were polled in the survey, and 70 percent said they would not want their parents to live with them. But given the choice, 67 percent said they would prefer that their mother move in with them instead of their father.
(Related Article: Mom's Market Value Declining…Help Her Feel Valued On Mother's Day!)
Using the data provided in the survey, most adult children said the choice is logical, as their mom would help more with household chores and with the grandchildren. The data also suggested that most of the adult children surveyed would not adjust as well with dad as a "roommate" because he may hog the television and would generally not help around the house.
Additionally, most of the people surveyed said they had no future plans to take care of their elderly parents, and 66 percent say that they could not financially take care of their parents, but in the end, 51 percent would allow their parents to live with them, despite not having the finances to care for them.
We recently spoke with two local individuals who each have an elderly parent. Here is what they had to say about co-living:
Lisa McKenzie lives in Mooresville, North Carolina. She is married and has three daughters who live at home. Mckenzie's mother is 76-years-old and lives in an assisted living facility. While her mother does not reside with her, McKenzie does take care of her mom in the mornings and afternoons at the assisted living facility.
Q. Has your elderly mother expressed interest in moving in with you?
A. No, she can't due to her physical limitations. She is limited to a Hoyer lift move from a bed to a recliner and back.
Q. If living with you was an option for your elderly mother, would you have any fears about her moving in?
A. I don't think I'd be able to handle her medical situation or her passing away in my home and the impact that would have on my children.
Beverly Ramos's elderly mother, who is 95-years-old, resides with her in Concord, North Carolina. Ramos is divorced, and is a grandmother who also cares for her grandchild during the day.
Q. How long has your elderly mother lived with you, and how has the transition been?
A. My mother has lived here for six years. Mom didn't like it at all at first because she didn't want to move from Colorado, and she also didn't want to be a burden. Six years later, she has finally accepted it. She realizes she can't stay on her own. She is really good with having someone from Visiting Angels come twice a week because she really likes the caregiver and it gives her someone else to talk to.
Q. Is your mother helpful around the house?
A. No, she was until about a year ago, but not anymore because at 95-years-old, she is more limited in terms of what she can do around the house than she used to be.
Q. Do you get along well at home?
A. We were doing fine, but now that Visiting Angels is here a few days a week, it has really improved because it gives both of us a little space. Yesterday the caregiver was here all day and I walked my dogs, got my hair done…it was wonderful. Plus, Mom has somebody new to tell her stories to and help her do a few things like organizing her closet.
Q. How much care does your mother need?
A. On a scale of 1-10, she's about a 2. She has some balance issues, but otherwise is pretty self-sufficient.

Lidstrom Presser Is Not A Good Sign
Earlier today it was announced that the Detroit Red Wings will be having a press conference tomorrow at Joe Louis Arena, where General Manager, Ken Holland, and Nick Lidstrom will speak.
At the conclusion of last season Lidstrom had considered retirement, only to announce that he would return for another season and sign a one year contract with the Red Wings. Lidstrom made this announcement via conference call and not a press conference, uh-oh.
The fact that the Wings will be having a presser and both Holland and Lidstrom will be there gives off the feeling that the Lidstrom era has come to an end, and tomorrow may be his formal good-bye.
Lidstrom has played all 1,564 games of his career with the Red Wings and has been the captain of the Original Six franchise for the last six seasons. Over the years, Lidstrom has won four Stanley Cup Championships and has seven Norris Trophies, dubbing him the leagues best defenseman.
Of course, this is all just speculation, and this press conference could be to announce Lidstrom's return for yet another season. Personally, I don't want to see him go, the guy is still to dominant at what he does and to hang up the skates would be just wrong. I'm sure every Detroit fan feels the same way.
If Lidstrom does in fact retire tomorrow morning the game will be sending off, perhaps the best defenseman the NHL has ever seen.

Sealing Brick Paver Driveways for travertine, interlocking brick and concrete pavers
- Analysis: Evaluate the condition of your pavers and recommend any repairs that are needed.
- Deep Clean: We clean with very hot high pressure water and a rotary surface cleaner for very deep cleaning, along with a broad spectrum fungicidal agent to kill any mildew or algae that is growing in the joints. We get out as much of the old dirty sand along with any weeds as possible.
- Paver Prep: Clean sand is then washed into the joints to fill them to aproximately 1/8 inch below the chamfor edge. Sand is very important in the joints. It keeps your pavers from shifting too much. Don't let any one seal your pavers with out replacing the sand that was washed out!
- Seal: Apply 1-2 coats of sealer to protect and beautify your pavers and lock in the sand. Other sealers do not bind the sand into place. Seal 'n Lock chemically bonds the sand to itself and the pavers to minimize weed growth, ant intrusion and washouts. Your pavers are less likely to shift and sink when the sand is stabilized.

DOTHAN, AL, November 30, 2012 —The biggest winners from Cyber Monday were not the retailers, but the credit card companies. Consumers racked up an estimated $1.9 billion in online sales, and every sale generated fees of 3% to 6% charged by the card companies to retailers. The actual cost of processing credit sales is just pennies per transaction so profit margins are very high. Nice work if you can get it.
I'm one of those people who never balances a checkbook and escorts paper bills directly to the circular file without a fair trial. Some time ago I switched all bill paying to online with my bank, which lets me see immediately how fast my account is depleted without having to wait for paper checks to clear. It's convenient, fast and I save on the cost of stamps, which currently cost around $27.00 to mail a first class letter. That's why any mail I send out is low class.
I also have bills sent directly to my bank, but one credit card company refused to do that. I discovered it was because they want you to use their online service for an extra convenience fee. We'll discuss convenience fees another time. I'm still puzzled about who they are supposed to be convenient for, certainly not for me.
Recently I decided to check what was inside the paper bills that I had been tossing in the trash without opening. What I discovered was a total shock. Apparently, one credit card company I won't name unless you discover it for yourself, had apparently been taken over by the Russian mafia and was charging me a 30% interest rate on the balance.
The last I knew I had a $12.95 balance for buying a can opener a year and half earlier, and I'd not used the card since. I was making regular payments of around $100 a month and still, I discovered, the balance had grown to nearly $3,000. The bill thanked me for my business and urged me to discover how I could use the card for all my purchases.
I called the company to discover what the story was. After three hours of punching in my social security number, zip code and blood type, talking to everyone in their Mongolian office, and casting a voodoo spell on the company, I was finally put through to some guy named Igor in the "Hardship Department." The conversation went something like this:
Igor: How may I be helping for you today?
Me: I'd like to know why I'm paying a 30% interest rate.
Igor: You are having a problem with this?
Me: Yes of course. It's supposed to be a credit card not a street loan with vig.
Igor: There is difference?
Me: Yes! Now why is my interest rate so high?
Igor: Shows here you have best rate.
Me: 30% is "best" rate? What's the worst?
Igor: You want I should change you to that?
Me: No, no, no…I want a lower rate. Why is this so high?
Igor: Just a moment…ah, here it is. You made late payment last year.
Me: What?!! I pay online, how late was it?
Igor: Hmm…twenty minutes. You fail to meet cutoff time. So sorry.
Me: Well I need that to be adjusted. That's not fair.
Igor: Yes, I know. Life is dark. You like Dostoyevsky? Chekhov?
Me: No. So what about my rate?
Igor: Today for you I can make big deal. Reduce rate to just 28.99%? Is good no?
Me: No. That's terrible. What if I pay it all off?
Igor: Is your choice. We have convenience fee for pay early.
Me: That's not convenient for ME. How much is the fee?
Igor: Is depend on mood for Goldman Sachs that day.
Me: Oh cripes. So what are my options?
Igor: Option is keep paying. We have counselor visit you to advise payment strategy.
Me: Counselor? Huh? I don't need a counselor I need a lower interest rate!
Igor: Okay, you say you agree. We send to you Vlad Impaler, he is best credit counselor. He be there between 10pm and 3am. Please be leaving door unlocked to avoid convenience fee to open door.
Me: What? I don't want a counselor or visitor or…..
Igor: Am thanking you much for business. Good-bye. (Click).
So here I am at midnight waiting for some guy named Vlad to show up to help me discover how to never, ever make a late payment again. I also am now at a 42% interest rate since they made some adjustments after my call. The can opener is long gone, it wore out in a month. I would have returned it but there was a $55 convenience and restocking fee. I'm told I'll have it paid off by 2017 if I keep up the payments.
I now open cans with my teeth, and pay cash to the dentist. I discovered it's a lot cheaper than using a credit card.
Endnote: Statistics on credit card debt are staggering. According to the Federal Reserve, Americans carry an average credit card debt of $15,328 ($852 billion total), making it the third largest debt behind mortgages ($149,782) and student loans ($34,703). Over 36% of consumers do not know what interest rates they are paying on their cards and 93% of cards issued have terms that allow the issuer to raise interest rates simply by amending the agreement. Card companies collect over $20 billion a year in penalty fees alone.
