Awesome shades!

These shades are great, especially for the price! They're much more durable than the Neff Daily Shades and they go great with pretty much anything. Obviously not the best in shades, but definitely worth your cash. Satisfaction? Check. Style? Check. Happy eyes? Check.

DALLAS - Following a News 8 report about contractors who undercut competitors by avoiding payroll taxes, the state has launched an investigation, and leaders in both the Texas House and Senate are calling for hearings.
It s a problem that s estimated to shortchange the Texas unemployment fund by as much as $175 million a year, and in Texas there is no penalty for cheating.
The News 8 investigation revealed evidence of unpaid payroll taxes by a sub-contractor on the publicly-funded Mansfield Independent School District Performing Arts Center.
The next day, the project's general contractor, Thomas S. Byrne, said it was contacted by the Texas Workforce Commission, which collects unemployment tax for the state. Byrne said it will now require audits on all projects to ensure its subs follow the rules.
Records show the TWC exercises lax oversight over rampant employment problems in the construction industry.
The Workforce Commission needs to operate in a more efficient manner, locate those who are not obeying the law and extracting the taxes from them, said Bill Hammond, a former TWC commissioner and the executive director of the Texas Association of Business.
At issue in Mansfield is the rebar sub-contractor Macario Mireles and his company AB Rebar.
No, I don't pay taxes, read a sworn deposition by Mireles about the Mansfield job. I don't pay their taxes.
Meaning there was no payroll taxes, unemployment tax nor worker's compensation insurance to assist injured workers, all of which are required by the terms of the Mansfield contract and all government contracts.
How is that possible? Even though construction workers are generally told what to do and how to do it, Mireles and AB Rebar do not call them employees. He classifies them as independent contractors. And, under the law, independent contractors are not subject to payroll taxes.
Competing rebar contractor Andy Anderson was underbid in Mansfield by Mireles and AB Rebar. When he first spoke to News 8, he stood alone. WFAA asked him why nobody wanted to talk about the problem.
They're afraid to be blackballed in the industry, he answered.
Now, he's getting support from his fellow building contractors.
It is a cancer, said John Hinson, of Marek Brothers Systems. It's a cancer is what it is. It truly ruins the fabric of everything we do.
To me, they're tax evaders, said Paul Holden, of Facility Construction Services. They're tax cheats, and they're putting us at a competitive disadvantage because we're playing by the rule book. We need a strong referee out there to say, 'You're playing by the rules, and you're not.'
The referee is supposed to be the TWC.
Now, in response to News 8, Sen. John Carona, chairman of the Business and Commerce Committee, said he intends to hold hearings on state enforcement of worker misclassification. It's the same for Rep. Joe DesHotel in the House. He will call Anderson as a witness.
I intend to visit with him and invite him to testify during the interim to help us develop the problem; help us to expose the issue, DesHotel said.
In a state that claims to business friendly, critics say it only makes sense to level the playing field for businesses that play by the rules by paying their taxes.

Hi Katrin,
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful presentation you gave to our homeschooling group. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. I hope it resulted in some business for you. Attached are a few pictures I took on that day. Perhaps we can schedule it again sometime next year.
I also wanted to thank you for the trap and the Spay/Neuter Clinic services. We released the feral male cat back onto our property. We may or may not see him again but hopefully he'll live out his life happily.
I'll let you know when we are ready to foster kittens again.

2001 Ford Ranger 4 Dr XLT 4WD Extended Cab Stepside SB Review
comfortable ride for a truck
not a whole lot of room for many passengers
Its Great If You Dont Need To Lug Many People Around, And Can Tow Little Things Like Jet Skis Easily — performance wise, well hey, it is a truck, not a sports car, build quality is pretty decient, ive owned and family has owned quite a few fords, its definetly on the better side of there vehicles. Appearance, I love it, Ive allways liked rangers, Ive wanted one since I started looking for my first car, interior is comfortable for me atleast, plenty of room, unless I need to fit more then two people, you gotta be pretty small to fit in the back cause it only has two little pilot seats. Its a little bit costly to maintain, but it is a 4wd and I knew that getting into it, ive had just a few minor issues with u-joints and hubs but nothing major. Ive driven many trucks and pickups, its definetly easier to drive then a full size truck, and imo it kills the old chevy s-10, its much more comfortable to drive and the ride doesnt even compare, the s-10 can be alot rougher. Overall I couldnt be happier with the truck I dont think, I love it.

Hasn't let me down in the 5 years I've had it.
Gas mileage when its 4 bucks a gallon
Ford Ranger — I love my ranger. Performance wise its not bad for a 4.0L. It definately doesn't have a problem pulling out in the passing lane. The only repairs I've had to do is basic maintenance. Gas mileage is ehhh....but I guess its not bad for a 4,200 lb truck. This truck had never let me down.

As strong as a 4-Banger ( 3.0 V6 )
Meh ... Its Suitable . — My weakest of my 3 owned vehicles . With that said , its also the heaviest. I feel that the 3 liter has to think about speeding up . Its better on Gas than the S10 despite what fuel costs.. Engine always fires up, MY thermostat is rated at 195 degrees but will melt your face off if you need it too. Great overall truck for daily driver...

State representative would have to give up his seat to run for top job
State Rep. Antonio Maestas said Monday he is unlikely to run for governor, even though he considers incumbent Republican Susana Martinez to be vulnerable.
Maestas, D-Albuquerque, said in an interview that he was "still mulling" a run for the state's top office in 2014, but the odds were against it because he would have to relinquish his seat in the House of Representatives.
"It's something worth considering. But at this point, I'm contributing to the House," said Maestas, right.
House members have two-year terms, meaning Maestas could not keep his seat if he entered the 2014 governor's race.
In contrast, state senators have four-year terms. All of them will be in the middle of their terms when the race for governor occurs.
Maestas said this gives them a built-in advantage over him. Any senator who runs for governor and loses will still have a seat in the Legislature.
State Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, already has announced that she is running for governor. Fellow Democratic senators Howie Morales of Silver City and Timothy Keller of Albuquerque also say they are considering gubernatorial campaigns.
"I've gotten a very positive response, but I don't have a decision yet," Morales said Monday.
Maestas said running for governor was tempting because Martinez is vulnerable.
"I'd love to debate the governor on her economic record and her lack of accomplishments," he said.
Maestas said he had not talked with Lopez or Morales about the governor's race, but he had spoken with Keller a few times.
"Keller wants to do it. I understand that. Whoever wins the Democratic Party nomination is going to be the next governor," Maestas said.
Maestas, 44, recently got married and has a private law practice.
A former prosecutor in Bernalillo County, he has been a House member for seven years and made a mark with crime and justice bills.
Working single-handedly, Maestas in 2012 got through a bill to remove the state public defender's staff from the governor's control.
Voters then approved his idea for a stand-alone public defender office as a constitutional amendment. Legislators passed the enabling law this year.
Also in 2013, Maestas sponsored a bill to increase state tax rebates for producers who shoot television series in New Mexico.
Martinez initally vetoed his bill, but she signed it after it was revived and packaged with a measure to reduce the state's corporate tax rate, one of her legislative priorities.

Hugh Downs is old now.
It has been many years since the dreams of an Ohio railroad man's son bloomed into an unparalleled broadcasting career that leapt from one pinnacle to the next, decade after decade, until one day it was mostly in the past, and he was old.
His hair is white, his face lined, his posture slightly stooped and his gait just slightly unsure. These are things you would expect in a man well into his 83rd year.
He is not dismayed by this, however. He is somewhat surprised, yes. Occasionally he is even startled by it. But he is not dismayed. Rather, he is fascinated by it, just as he is fascinated by almost everything else in the universe.
He is fascinated by a new great-grandson, by flying and sailing, by politics, by music, by medicine, by energy and the environment, by the media, by the endless, wary tango of science and religion, and by the problems and promise of the East Valley to which he has given much of his heart and soul. Perhaps it is this fascination with things, his boundless curiosity and his joy at having already learned so much, that explains the geniality that seems permanently written on his face.
He belongs to the world, really, but he is our neighbor. He chose to settle in Carefree and later Paradise Valley when he could have lived anywhere else. Now in retirement — if you can call it that — he is sinking his roots all the more deeply into the community he has called home for more than 30 years.
"We fell in love with the place when we first came out here," Downs said. "And then that's been reinforced. It's not like we were disappointed. It's been even more so, particularly the people we've met."
Among his earliest friends here were the late Paradise Valley philanthropists Robert and Katherine Herberger. Their son, Gary, maintains close ties with Downs and his wife, Ruth.
"He is the same person in private as he is in public," Herberger said. "He couldn't be nicer to people who come up to him and ask to shake his hand and ask to have their picture taken with him. He's very generous."
Bill Shover, a longtime Valley community leader who first invited Downs to town for a speaking engagement in 1968, agreed.
"I regard him as one of the finest men I've ever known," Shover said. "He has values you just don't see in people who have the highest form of living and get adulation constantly. He's humble."
Downs' humility, Shover said, springs from his Ohio upbringing and a remarkable father.
"I knew his dad," Shover said. "He came from a humble life, a very modest man in Ohio. His father was a railroader ... For being a common person, his father had the ability to be concerned about the good things of life — the arts, music and so forth."
But while it's one thing to grow up humble, it's another to stay that way after a lifetime in the public eye and a career that nearly two decades ago had already placed him in the Guinness Book of World Records as the man who had been on television more hours than anyone who ever lived.
His TV work began about the time the medium barged big-time into America's living rooms, as an announcer for the kiddie show "Kukla, Fran and Ollie" in 1949. Several other TV gigs followed in the 1950s, including a stint with Sid Caesar and five years with late-night pioneer Jack Paar. He hosted the game show "Concentration" for 10 years, "The Today Show" for another 10 and "20/20" for more than two decades.
Along the way he has rubbed elbows with almost everyone who was anyone in American public life. He has written music for Yo Yo Ma. He took, and passed, astronaut training — at the age of 77, no less — while his friend John Glenn prepared for his famous geriatric ride into orbit. He even has ventured into movies, playing a newscaster (what else?) in the 1980 George Burns vehicle "Oh God! Book II."
Downs said his TV career was "quite accidental," the offspring of childhood aspirations in radio.
"There were some big-name radio announcers," Downs said, "and they were relatively famous, and they apparently made some good money, and my ambition was to become like them, have some big program.
"I didn't have any idea that there would be a new medium in the offing . . . so it all just kind of stumbled into place."
Far from being a mere talking head, however, Downs owns an intellect his friends say is nothing less than awesome. Not that you can actually get him to talk about how smart he is. While Shover and Herberger called him a "renaissance man," Downs dismisses the term.
"If being a renaissance man means you are intensely interested in all these things, then yes," Downs said. "But the real renaissance man is expert in all of them, and I am not."
Others would dispute that.
Downs knows enough about music, for example, to have had several compositions published. One, titled "Windows for Cello and Orchestra," was performed last fall by the Phoenix Symphony — one of the numerous Valley organizations to which he donates his time and talents.
He knows enough about science to have carried on a long-term correspondence with noted astrophysicist Robert Jastrow — an exchange of letters that Jastrow's publisher would like to turn into a book on the conflict and coexistence of science and religion.
"That's a heavy thing," Downs said.
"There are some people that can maintain scientific integrity and have something meaningful to say about theology. I think we can . . . We don't see eye to eye, exactly. He describes himself as a materialist productionist. And I keep asking, what is the material we're talking about?"
As scientists grapple with questions about the basic nature of things, Downs said, "It empties out into a kind of never-never land and weirder than what we think of as reality."
From there, Downs moseys into the realms of quantum mechanics, the Big Bang theory, Lobachevskian geometry and the theology of Albert Einstein.
He speaks about these things as naturally as most guys talk about baseball scores.
But sports, in fact, is one of the few areas Downs' mind does not eagerly embrace, Shover said. "He's not big for baseball or football or the usual things like that."
Yet that did not stop Downs from helping Valley leaders seeking to convince NFL owners to send another Super Bowl our way. Downs got a standing ovation, Shover said, when he made a presentation to the league's bigwigs this past March; several of the wealthy men, in fact, asked for his autograph.
Over the years, and long before he began sprouting gray hair, Downs became an expert on human aging.
"I did a special when I was 30 years old on NBC prime time called 'How Long Can You Live?' " he said. "It was a geriatric medical special on human life span. Not life expectancy, life span. I found that so fascinating that my interest stayed. I began reading more and more, and finally got into the technical journals and whatnot. And that is still one of the most fascinating things I know.
"And really, the more time goes by, the closer I move toward becoming my own laboratory!"
From there, Downs moves into another scientific discourse, this one on the process whereby cells divide and age and eventually die. This should go on long enough, he said, for healthy people to generally reach the age of about 120.
That he is 38 years shy of that is a source of continual surprise.
"To this day, if I'm in a strange city or something, walking down a sidewalk and there's an angled storefront window and I know I'm going to see my reflection in it, I always expect to see a 35-year-old guy looking at me," Downs said. "And I see gray hair, and it always jars me. I never get over that, because inside I don't feel that way, you know."
Nevertheless, aging has been a happy process.
"The 50s were very good, and the 60s were better than the 50s, and the 70s were better than the 60s, I swear to God.
"I can do everything I want to do, and the quality of my life is better than it's ever been."
His family is an integral part of that quality of life.
"Both Ruth and Hugh are wonderful," Herberger said. "She's very modest and lets Hugh take the limelight, but she certainly is his mentor and helpmate all the way along."
The couple will celebrate their 60th anniversary in February.
"I think we were both brought up to believe that marriage was a real commitment and that divorce would be not only a last resort, if you couldn't stand to be married, but divorce is kind of like surgery," Downs said. "You know, it's unpleasant."
Downs credits his wife with making some of the larger sacrifices to keep their marriage intact over the years, at one point abandoning a thriving needlepoint business in the north East Valley.
The couple have a son, a daughter, two grandchildren and an infant great-grandson.
It is to the new baby that Downs is dedicating his next writing project, a book to be published in the fall called "Letter to a Great-Grandson." It will contain personal reflections and some speculation as to what the world of the future will be like.
"When I think of what I would give if my grandfather or great-grandfather had rendered a document like that to me about his life and the world at the time . . . this is why I hope this kid reads this," Downs said.
"I'd like him to read it when he's a young man, and when he's middle-aged, and when he's my age now. And it will mean more to him at each stage."
Downs lived in the East Valley and commuted cross-country during the latter decades of his broadcast career, which ended for the most part in 1999 when he left "20/20" after 21 years. His community involvement ranges from the mundane to what some might call grand.
Shover said Downs is a fellow member at Christ Church of the Ascension, an Episcopal congregation in Paradise Valley. "If he does the reading on Sunday he prepares himself," Shover said. "If he talks to a Boy Scout troop, he prepares himself."
Maryellen Gleason, director of the Phoenix Symphony, said Downs recently became an honorary trustee for the orchestra, resuming an affiliation that began many years ago when he was on the board of directors.
"He is very passionate about our success," Gleason said. "He's a wonderful guy."
Herberger said Downs is a founding member of a 2-year-old Valley group called the Men's Anti-Violence Network.
"We realized that men who abuse women should hear from men who don't agree with men who do that to women," Herberger said. Downs has helped produce the group's anti-violence videos. "He's helped us a lot," Herberger said.
Downs is reluctant to talk about his charitable efforts, with one passionate exception: The Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University.
The project sprang, Downs said, from a 1972 invitation to speak at the university on the topic of television. Shortly thereafter he had outlined a course addressing various forms of human interaction, and in 1999 his name was formally attached to ASU's communications program.
While fellow broadcasting giant Walter Cronkite also has an ASU program named after him, Downs said the schools differ. The Cronkite curriculum focuses on journalism, while the Downs program addresses all the ways humans connect with one another, from marital communication to humor to nonverbal expressions.
"He spends quite a bit of time over there, teaching and mentoring students," Herberger said.
Shover said Downs has been involved in other charitable efforts, sometimes on the national level. "He gives so much of himself to people," Shover said. "If anything, people can take advantage of him."
In 1968, when he was invited to speak in the Valley, that changed his life, Downs said.
"When I first saw it, I guess, there was something about the climate that got to me, and I instantly liked the mystique of the desert. Not all people understand."
He believes the Valley has coped well with its astonishing growth, and that Arizona has matured since he arrived.
"There were undoubtedly some neo-Stone Age politics out here," he said. "And we had a couple governors that were embarrassments. And I think (now) we've got a really good one."
He thinks new high-tech research facilities at the state's universities will help propel Arizona into a new era of prosperity.
"It seems to me the state has recovered a lot of prestige and is going to take its place as one of the best states in the United States. It's moving in that direction.
"That means a lot to me."

Before I moved, there was a specialty store that sold Dutch Process cocoa for $8.50/lb. If I had realized what a good deal that was, I would have stocked up with 10+ pounds! It's killing me that the cheapest I can find it is $14/lb (I've only been looking on amazon). There was one other product that was cheaper, but with shipping, it was more. Is that the cheapest I'm going to find? Is there somewhere else I can find it cheaper? I'm fine buying a few pounds at a time to save money.

Campus plastic water bottle use dries up
Dozens of universities across the country, including Brown, are either banning or restricting the sale of plastic water bottles in an effort to reduce waste. The University, which used to sell about 320,000 bottles of water a year in vending machines and campus stores, ended sales in dining halls in 2010, following a student-run campaign. "There's an environmental impact to the waste of disposable water bottles. We realized there were alternatives that we could put in place that everybody was agreeable to," says Chris Powell, director of sustainable energy and environmental initiatives.

The Takeaway 7 March 2012
Rethinking the GOP primary process
James Morone, professor of political science, contributes to this conversation about whether the GOP needs to rethink its primary system. Morone argues that the Republican primary system is simply not working for the GOP the way that it worked for Democrats in 2008 and that it may, in fact, be tearing the party apart. "What we ought to be looking at is a large set of Super Tuesdays, a set of regional primaries one after the other that helps tamp down the kind of great insurgency that comes from a small minority," Morone says.

Estrogen may offer breast cancer protection
While some forms of hormone replacement therapy have been found to increase breast cancer risk, therapies that use only estrogen may actually protect women against the disease, according to a new study. "It's very, very reassuring," says John Buster, professor of obstetrics and gynecology, who was not involved in the study. "It really takes the fire out of the argument that estrogens cause breast cancer."

Safe sex decreases among college-age women
A new study led by Jennifer Walsh, a house staff officer in clinical psychology, finds that despite the apparent ubiquity of free condoms and counseling, women gradually use condoms less frequently during their first year of college. "College women often engage in serial monogamy, resulting in multiple partners during the college years, and they are often unaware of their partners' risk. This makes continued condom use important for women's health," says Walsh.

Researcher helps trace origin of mystery mosaics
When a faculty member at Bowling Green State University had trouble piecing together the origin of a group of ancient Roman mosaics on display there, she called Rebecca Molholt, assistant professor of history of art and architecture, for help. Molholt could find no records of the mosaics leading to the belief that they may have been looted in the 1960s from a site along the Euphrates River. Molholt believes they were very likely part of the decorative framework around the mosaic called "The Gypsy Girl."

The science behind failed memory
New research has captured the battle between right and wrong memories in the brain, bringing scientists closer to understanding how people usually manage to pull up the right memory, and what goes wrong when this process fails. David Badre, assistant professor of cognitive linguistic and psychological sciences, says the findings coincide with long-held suspicions that an unwelcome intrusion from older memories can cause memory problems and that this new approach allows researchers to size up the struggle.

The mental struggle involved in smoking cessation
Difficulty concentrating can stem from any number of causes, including hormone or vitamin deficiency, a change in medication or poor diet. Christopher Kahler, professor of behavioral and social sciences, adds nicotine withdrawal to this list. He adds that while quitting smoking can be a struggle, the mental health boost gained from quitting more than compensates. "There's a psychological benefit to it," Kahler says.

Contact: Steve Sulkin, director, Shannon Point Marine Center, (360) 650-7400 or email@example.com
ANACORTES – As part of its nationally recognized summer program of study in the marine sciences, Western Washington University's Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC) has established a summer internship to be awarded to a WWU arts major.
The student intern will be in residence at the marine center located in Anacortes, Wash., from late June through August. According to SPMC Director Stephen Sulkin, while SPMC has operated undergraduate research programs in the marine sciences for more than 20 years, this is the first time that support has been provided to bring the arts to the program. It is anticipated that the student intern, in association with a faculty adviser, will be stimulated by the activities at SPMC and the marine environment to apply his or her artistic talents to whatever medium is appropriate.
"While the connection between the arts and marine science may seem unusual, we believe there is a relationship between the marine environment and the arts that has not been fully explored," said Sulkin, adding that inclusion of the arts in the SPMC summer program should assist the science students in the increasingly important activity of translating their science effectively to a broader audience.
At the conclusion of the summer program, the intern will provide a showing of the results of the project coincident with the presentations made by the 11 other summer interns who will be engaging in marine research.
The internship will include a $4500 stipend plus food allowance, housing in the SPMC dorm facilities, and funds to support the student's project. The faculty supervisor from WWU's College of Fine & Performing Arts (CFPA) will also receive a small stipend.
"We are really looking forward to exploring this new avenue for creative interactions among the scientists and artists of the future and are pleased to be taking this initiative in collaboration with WWU's CFPA," Sulkin said.
Application procedures can be accessed at www.wwu.edu/spmc/spmsarts.shtml. More about SPMC's programs and facilities can be accessed at www.wwu.edu/spmc

We'll just say it up front: Persona 4 Arena marks the best initial entry in a fighting game franchise to date. This genre-bending hybrid is akin to a decadent dessert: a fluffy, fulfilling fighting game cake, covered in heaps of lore-intensive JRPG icing that'll delight diehard fans. With the combined efforts of Atlus and Arc System Works behind it, P4A is a guaranteed grand slam for its target audience of RPG and fighting aficionados.
As you might've guessed, this fantastic-looking fighter's based on Persona 4, Atlus' 2008 cult classic JRPG (which, wouldn't you know it, is due for a revamped release on PS Vita). P4A sees the preceding game's Investigation Team of energetic high school students trading in turn-based battles for one-on-one 2D dueling. Arc System Works have made a name for themselves in the fighting game community with their work on such combo-happy classics as Guilty Gear and the recent BlazBlue series. They've honed down the "anime fighter" genre to a science, and we can't think of a developer who'd be a better fit for bringing the Shin Megami Tensei series into the realm of sprite-based brawls.
As a four-button fighter, P4A plays like a mix of BlazBlue's frenetic one-on-one battles mixed with ethereal assistance akin to the ghostly Stands found in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Each combatant can summon a Persona, a phantom projection of their inner selves, to assist them in delivering a brightly-colored beatdown to their opponent. Personas aren't invincible apparitions, mind you – smack an incoming Persona attack enough times, and the opposing player will be forced to fight solo while they wait for their Persona Gauge to recharge.
Every Persona is entirely unique to its owner, complementing their fighting styles and guaranteeing that no two pugilists play quite alike. That said, P4A also boasts some of the genre's best balance right out of the gate: You can rest easy knowing that no matter which character you choose, you'll be given a fair fight regardless of who you're up against.
Best of all, you're very likely to find a fighter who perfectly suits your playstyle in the P4A roster, thanks to the varied character compositions. Naoto and Aigis are a projectile enthusiast's paradise, while Kanji and Akihiko like to get up close and personal with their heavy-hitting chair/fists. Even Teddie, the cartoony bear who would've been reduced to a joke character in any other game, has a distinct design that's downright devastating when used properly.
As with Arc System Works' BlazBlue, P4A's graphical styling is a feast for the eyes, with high-res hand-drawn sprites whirling about during each combo. The crisp, clean visuals aren't reserved for the actual gameplay, either – every aspect of the game's "Midnight Channel" vibe has a polished sleekness. That goes double for the soundtrack, which is filled with toe-tapping tracks of ethereal synth, smooth jazz, and invigorating rock. The game's style might not appeal to every gamer's sensibilities – but for our money, P4A is one of the most aesthetically-pleasing fighters yet.
The RPG side of things shines through in the games' ridiculously in-depth narrative, which even extends past the insanely lengthy 30+ hours of Story mode into the bite-sized sagas seen during Arcade playthroughs. Yes, over 30 hours – all of it canon, with charismatically voice-acted cutscenes in your choice of English or Japanese. The mileage you get from the game's single player plot will be in direct correlation to your tolerance for static character cut-out cinematics; as luck would have it, ours is quite high.
P4A's plot will be a delight for those already familiar with the series, especially when P4 and P3 characters come face to face; even if you typically don't delve into these sorts of anime-esque plotlines, you'll soon have a hankering to play the original RPGs in between bouts. But be warned: Because the story takes place after the events of Persona 4, the previous plot twists and revelations are constantly being brought up during dialogue. If you're wary of any spoilers, you should hold off on P4A's Story mode until completing the earlier game's plot.
Mechanics-wise, P4A packs the absurd amount of complexity that fighting fans will be accustomed to, with Bursts, Instant Blocks, Evasive Actions, and much, much more. It can be a lot to parse through for those making the transition into 2D fighter territory, but the game's excellently paced Lesson mode ensures that you'll be up to speed before your first fight.
It also incorporates a beginner-friendly Auto Combo system that lets you mash out flashy combos with repeated taps of a single button, meaning anyone can pick up, play, and look cool using an unknown character (with the fair trade-off of reduced damage on these combos). This greatly increases the game's general accessibility, but it's a double-edged sword: Auto Combos are a rush to bust out, but some players might grow to rely on them, never truly delving into the game's intricate combo system. It'd be a shame to eschew the higher-level mechanics in favor of spamming Auto Combos ad nauseam, especially when the game's solid Training mode is at your disposal. Ultimately, it'll be up to the player if they feel like putting the work in or not.
Additionally, with so much to keep track of during each match – health bars, super meters, Persona and Burst gauges, and inventive RPG-like Ailments that inflict poison damage, paralysis, and so on – the screen is often extremely busy, and hard to "read" at a glance. Newer players might experience sensory overload until they've clocked a few requisite hours of training.
Challenge modes and online play have become necessary features for any great fighting game, and P4A delivers them in spades. The Challenge mode ramps up nicely from simple inputs to complex combo strings, with video demonstrations for every single trial. Also of note is the fact that the finale to each character's 30 challenges is a puzzle-like undertaking, tasking you with a demanding objective without providing the usual button-by-button breakdown. It's a fun final exam for experts who think they've mastered everything a given character is capable of.
The online play offers the standard ranked and player matches, with leaderboards and replays to boot - but it has a few features that make it stand out from the pack. After each match, you'll be given a breakdown on the factors that determine your experience gains; this is much more satisfying than the nebulous, behind-the-scenes math done to determine our rankings in other fighters. It also has a great title system: Instead of canned labels, P4A gives you a giant lexicon of goofy words and lets you go nuts combining them. We took great pride in our "24/7 Chicken Catharsis" call sign – though we're not certain it instilled any fear in our online opponents.
Here's the bottom line: If you're a JRPG or fighter fanatic with even a hint of interest in the other genre, P4A is an absolute must-buy. With such a wealth of story-based content laid on top of the game's steadfast 2D fighting foundations, P4A's impressive debut sets the bar high for all forthcoming fighters.
