Well organised day trip taking in a bush tucker farm with excellent lunch, koala sanctuary, wine tasting and the best of all the Little Penguins. Jarrod was an excellent guide keeping us amused. We also loved the playlist that all the tours seem to have on their ipods, fitting music to the location etc. Do the Penguins Plus, it is worth it. Would recommend the tour company to anyone.

Do this! If you love seeing animals in their natural habitat instead of zoos, this is a must do on Phillip Island. One of life's greatest moments is to watch how the penguins communicate to each other on when to leave the sea and cross the sand to their burrows. Because we decided that we were going "all in" on on Aussie holiday, we upgraded to the first row seats and I would highly recommend but if you're looking to save a few bucks, there are great views from every seat so I think you'd still get an awesome show without splurging. One of the cool things about upgrading is that you get a guided tour which provides you with a lot of useful information which I personally enjoyed.

Nicky, our Bus Driver/Tour Guide had amazing energy and made our day delightful. We had a full day that included a trip to a trout farm, wine tasting, and a side trip to the race track where we saw motorcycles racing and kangaroos. Of course, the highlght of the tour was watching the penguins come in from the ocean. However, Nicky gave us an opportuinty to see and photograph penguins while it was still light out and photgraphs were permitted. I would highly recommend this tour.

Measuring global physical health in children with cerebral palsy: illustration of a multidimensional bi-factor model and computerized adaptive testing

The purposes of this study were to apply a bi-factor model for the determination of test dimensionality and a multidimensional CAT using computer simulations of real data for the assessment of a new global physical health measure for children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Parent respondents of 306 children with cerebral palsy were recruited from four pediatric rehabilitation hospitals and outpatient clinics. We compared confirmatory factor analysis results across four models: (1) one-factor unidimensional; (2) two-factor multidimensional (MIRT); (3) bi-factor MIRT with fixed slopes; and (4) bi-factor MIRT with varied slopes. We tested whether the general and content (fatigue and pain) person score estimates could discriminate across severity and types of CP, and whether score estimates from a simulated CAT were similar to estimates based on the total item bank, and whether they correlated as expected with external measures.
Confirmatory factor analysis suggested separate pain and fatigue sub-factors; all 37 items were retained in the analyses. From the bi-factor MIRT model with fixed slopes, the full item bank scores discriminated across levels of severity and types of CP, and compared favorably to external instruments. CAT scores based on 10- and 15-item versions accurately captured the global physical health scores.
The bi-factor MIRT CAT application, especially the 10- and 15-item versions, yielded accurate global physical health scores that discriminated across known severity groups and types of CP, and correlated as expected with concurrent measures. The CATs have potential for collecting complex data on the physical health of children with CP in an efficient manner.

this is an amazing site for learning japanese by yourself.
nice layout. easy to navigate. useful tools for learning japanese
Like their Kana quizzes. I know them already, but good practice once in a while.
nice basic stuff
Very useful, I wish there was more.
This looks useful.
I've been wanting to learn Japanese for a while now but have never had the time. The way that this website is set up it appears to make learning easy. Can't wait to get started!
With all the distraction caused by terribly cute Japanese things I think a few words in Japanese will come in handy one day.
so cool!

South African President Jacob Zuma takes his oath of office during his inauguration ceremony at the Union Buildings in Pretoria May 24, 2014. REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko
JOHANNESBURG: South African President Jacob Zuma was admitted to hospital for tests on Saturday, after previously being advised to take some rest, the presidency said in a statement.
"Doctors are satisfied with his condition," a statement on the presidency website said.
The presidency said on Friday that 72-year-old Zuma would take a few days off from public appearances after a tiring election in May, which put him in office for a second term.
"The president is in need of a rest following a demanding election and transition programme to the new administration," the presidency said on Friday, adding Zuma would continue to perform official duties from home.
Zuma's ANC won over 62 percent of the vote in the country's fifth democratic election last month.

What are consumers doing on their mobile devices while watching TV?
My company recently published our annual Outlook Report. My contribution was an essay summarizing the results of a study we conducted in partnership with Yahoo to better understand mobile and tablet multitasking while watching TV.
We've received some great feedback on the report overall and the study in particular. I've also presented the results a bunch of times in the last few weeks, and I thought it might be good to take the piece a step farther by providing an overview of the conversations it has sparked and some of the questions that have come up as a result.
Very few people seemed surprised by how common the behavior is (80 percent of our respondents reported that they mobile multitask while watching TV), but there were several surprises when it came to what people do on those devices.
Forty-four percent of multitaskers are surfing content that's completely unrelated to what they are watching, which may be bad news for big TV advertisers. There's certainly a potential distraction factor there. But this point has also sparked some interesting discussion/debate around consumers' ability to comprehend media and messages even while viewing content from multiple sources. The digital generation is growing up multitasking and likely has become quite skilled at it. I've watched teenagers texting while walking down the busy streets around Times Square and have been amazed at how deftly they dodge crowds even while hammering away on their phones with both thumbs. Still, it's clear that some of those rating points advertisers are paying good money for are reaching viewers who may not be fully engaged with the spots.
On the flip side, roughly a quarter of our multitaskers reported that they frequently look up information related to a commercial they just saw. That's a healthy click-through rate, so to speak, and it's probably the data point that has sparked the most discussion. What does this mean to advertisers? At a minimum, as stated in the essay, it means it's high time to get serious about mobile-optimized sites, and it's probably a good idea to tie the site into your TV campaign somehow. On the other end of the spectrum, it's been argued that the prevalence of this behavior indicates a need to fundamentally reinvent how advertisers develop media strategies and creative ideas for TV. The extent to which digital campaigns should integrate with or reflect your offline campaigns has been a subject of debate for more than a decade, but I would suggest that some of the best examples of properly creating a "360-degree campaign" haven't just used digital adaptations of the offline idea. Rather, they began with an idea that was digitally savvy and begged for interaction/engagement. It's not easy, and the great examples are few and far between. But it's also not a new idea; this data is just another indicator that our processes and approaches need to change to reflect the realities of rapidly changing consumer behavior.
Another question that frequently came up was the impact of DVR usage, and we looked at that in the study. It had a surprisingly low impact. Fifty-five percent of people multitask while watching a recorded show versus 59 percent for live TV - a relatively small drop. We also asked specifically about multitasking during commercials. Here, DVR usage had a bigger impact, but it was still lower than I had expected - it drops from 61 percent during live to 52 percent during recorded. As many folks have commented, those are some hard-core multitaskers: you've got to figure that many of them are fast-forwarding through ads, and yet that doesn't seem to deter them from mobile multitasking. Remote in one hand, phone in the other - one eye on the big screen looking for the show to come back and the other on the mobile screen. I get a headache just thinking about it.
We're continuing to explore all of the implications for marketers and are looking forward to discussing more. I welcome your comments and questions below.
Lastly, just a quick note that my company will be posting the full study results including new data not released in the Outlook Report and not featured here in the next week or so. A link will be posted on the essay page, so check back shortly.

Great Camera for most shots, but appalling focus on infinity. I did an A3 + print of a Bird, outstanding, but 10 x 8 (4mp)off a Landscape was awful, my old Kodak DC280 produces better pictures at 2mp! Is this a faulty camera? Or is the Kodak 280 a better camera for Landscapes? Problems: Lack of Sharpness when set at Infinity

MISSISSIPPI STATE – A successful tailgate party requires a winning game plan for the food, not just for the football game that follows.
Food safety experts say one in six people gets a food-borne illness each year. While most of these incidents do not require hospitalization and are even blamed on a stomach bug or 24-hour virus, these illnesses are avoidable.

The DSCC has secured an ad buy in Connecticut, where they thought they wouldn't have to pay attention to the race between Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D) and WWE executive Linda McMahon (R). This $250,000 ad buy – with more likely to come – starves other candidates of potential resources. West Virginia, where the DSCC just dropped some money, also fits into this category.
But Democrats may have just caught a break in Connecticut. McMahon, appearing at a news conference that she abruptly shut down, made comments about the minimum wage that are a gift for her opponents to paint her as out of touch.

Note: in the past I've been linking up to The Simple Woman's Blog. You should still go there for some great daybook writing prompts. This week, though I decided to put my own spin on it. Also: there may be affiliate links in this post. Thanks for your support!
As we start the week … This time of year can be hard on me mentally, with the darkness and the cold, and my tendency is to hibernate. However, I think it's important to strike a balance between time at home and also fighting off cabin fever by making sure we do get out and about a couple of times, too, even just for a walk around the block to stretch our legs and observe the winter world around us (temperatures permitting).
I am thankful … for electricity. Some pretty severe ice storms came through last night and I know many don't have power currently. When the wind howls and the weather brings a hazardous coating of ice to everything, heat and light are blessings.
Creating … this year I gave myself a challenge of creating something (anything) every day in 2015. I'm documenting it over on my personal blog, if you'd like to take a look at Kara Creates 365 to see what I'm up to. This week I hope to work more on my socks and also a little baby hat I'm knitting for a gift.
Reading … I created a list of books I'd like to read in 2015 on my personal blog, if you'd like to hop over to K.Elizabeth Fleck and take a look.
Listening … I've found a new to me podcast called Curious Handmade that I've been listening to and loving over the past few weeks. It's mainly about handwork and crafts, but she talks quite a bit about simplicity and simple living. I've found it really inspiring.
Gardening … I know, I know. It is still too early to do much but daydream about gardens here in Indiana. But, the first seed catalogs are starting to arrive in the mail box and that's always nice for those of us who need the hope of green days to get through the dull, gray ones.
Cooking and baking … I'm working on a post about how I keep freezer cooking for our household of seven as simple as I can. I honestly think that saved my bacon (pun intended) over the Christmas holidays and it's a habit that I think saved us some money, too. I don't normally do a single big batch freezer cooking session, but my friend Cherie mentioned a plan in her interview this weekend on our local news station about five frugal habits and I think I might give that a try later this week. I'll let you know how it goes.
Around the house … I've been working my way through the fifteen minute daily organizing challenges from Home Storage Solutions 101.
Field trips … I don't have any major field trips planned for this week, unless dentist appointments and a Costco trip count. Ha! But at least we are going to get out of the house a few times this week and I think that's a good thing.
January = a No Spend month … week two of our No Spend month is in the books. After nearly falling down several times the first week, Christopher and I did much better the second week. We even had a discussion about whether or not the $5 price tag of the Costco freezer cooking plan I mentioned earlier counted as spending or if it was okay to call it part of the groceries.
Why are we starting the year this way? We both want this to be a good year for us financially as we are really close to our dream of being debt free. We are closing in on our last debts, except for the mortgage and the van we had to purchase last year when my special needs sister-in-law came to live with us and the sooner that debt is gone the better.
We also have some things around the house that need repaired and replaced this year, and even though we plan on doing the work as cheaply as possible and as much of it ourselves as we can, we just felt like a No Spending month in January was a good way to kick off the year on a frugal foot and get us headed into 2015 in the right direction.
The week ahead…
- write to our Compassion kids
- January is a No Spend month for our family, so continue to resist impulse buys and focus on essentials only
- Part of my Christmas gift was a subscription to this year's cross stitch along with The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. The theme is story time and the first month of the pattern comes out this week. I'm so excited! I haven't cross stitched since college.
- Some freezer cooking.
- Max is excited to open up his newest Tinker Crate
- Hibernate begins this week. I've taken an e-course from Heather before and I know they are well done and created with great care, so when my mama treated me for my birthday I knew exactly what I was spending the money on. Thanks, mom!
- Max has Tae Kwon Do three days this week.
- The three oldest kids go to the dentist.
- A Costco trip to stock up for a freezer cooking session and also essentials like toilet paper (so exciting, I know)
Well friends, I think this mama is going to go rinse out her coffee cup and get the week officially started. Have a great day!
Best wishes,

Oracle Set to Launch Own Public Cloud June 6
Oracle Set to Launch Own Public Cloud June 6
Chris Preimesberger
Posted 2012-05-30
Registration requests currently are being taken for the various subscription-based application services, which include Fusion CRM, Fusion HCM, and Oracle Social Network--a response to Salesforce's Chatter.
Oracle is getting ready to officially launch its public cloud service at a media event at its Redwood City, Calif., campus on June 6. The site is already up and running;
you can access it here
Registration requests currently are being taken for the various subscription-based application services, which include Fusion CRM, Fusion HCM (human capital management), and Oracle Social Network--a response to Salesforce's Chatter.
Platform services include Java and Database. Yes, that's the heavy-duty Oracle database in the form of a secure cloud service, available for a subscription.
The launch event will be Webcast June 6 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

. Oracle has been stockpiling services over the years for on-premises, server-based deployments, such as Seibel Systems, JD Edwards, Hyperion and PeopleSoft. In the last year or so, however, the company has picked up cloud-ready acquisitions such as
(for its HCM),
(CRM) and
(data management) to add to its new arsenal.
Oracle's Three-Way Cloud Strategy
In an interview last year with
, Steve Miranda, Oracles senior vice president of application development, said that the company had three different angles in the cloud: one as a cloud-infrastructure provider, another as a cloud-application vendor and a third as a cloud host. We think where were unique is the ability to provide all three, he said. Oracle offers Fusion Applications via on-premises, private cloud, public cloud or some combination of those. The applications offer capabilities with more than 100 modules in seven product families, including the aforementioned HCM, CRM and supply chain management. The company has also introduced cloud-based application programming interfaces (APIs) for interoperability, ensuring that workloads can be moved safely between clouds. The Oracle Cloud Resource Model API, a subset of Cloud API, relies on standard HTTP methods to interact with available resources to provision machines and modify configurations. It encourages standardization across the standard building blocks of the cloud, i.e., machines, storage volumes and networks. On the cloud hardware side, Oracle also launched in fall 2010 a new system that allows companies to operate a private cloud within a self-contained system. The
Exalogic Elastic Compute Cloud
, also known as cloud in a box, features 30 servers with 360 cores, in addition to networking and storage, married to Oracle's virtual machine (VM) technology operating in conjunction with Solaris and Linux assets.
Head-to-Head With IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce
Even as it moves aggressively into the cloud space, Oracle finds itself competing head-to-head for business dollars with IBM, which provides similar services, and smaller companies like Salesforce.com, which have centered their competitive strategy on the cloud. Microsofts increasing interest in providing cloud services for business via Azure is another area of potential concern for Oracle. Weve been in this situation a long time. Were sometimes a supplier, a customer and a competitor, Miranda said. We know [customers] have a choice, its a highly competitive market, and we have to be best in class.

How long has this been known? Seems like short notice to me. One more reason to stay away from downtown.

This happens every year about this time, Walter, you haven't been on vacation on Mars each summer before this, have you?
a resident of Midtown
on Aug 24, 2007 at 4:58 am
Not on Mars, just avoiding downtown. I just think two day's notice is inadequate for closing a public right of way.

Happens every year at this time. Fliers all over town, in store windows, etc. Shouldn't be a surprise.

This event has gone on for years. Same time in August, same place, same scenario. Lots of advertisement and press and signs. And it is a lot of fun.

I had a great time there etoday with my family. Thank you palo alto. I wish they closed it every weekend for 1/2 day like they do in sunnyvale.

So disappointed the kid area (except for the hospital table) closed at 5:00, since I arrived there with my kids at about 4:55,under the mistaken impession it would be open until 6:00 like the rest of the festival. I was told the early close was so they'd have time to clean up. Considering that many of the tables were already cleaned up, and the rest were taken care of well before 6:00, I don't quite understand this. My kids were VERY sad that they only got to paint at the one table. MANY thanks to the women who staffed it. Otherwise, the festival was great!

Splashed all over the media, a new report says you can cross "get an annual checkup" off your to-do list. Scientists in Denmark announced that yearly doctor visits didn't help 182,880 people live longer or sidestep medical problems. Well, just showing up once a year isn't what makes those annual visits so valuable; it's actually getting good advice, making a plan to stay healthy and following it. That makes you live younger, longer and happier!
Our advice? Keep those appointments, then use the getting-you-healthier plan that you and your doc devise — plus the tips in this column — to kick-start a healthy living revolution.
You can transform that all-too-often rushed and confusing doctor's appointment (you're lucky to get 18 minutes — demand more) and make sure you're not one of the 50 per cent of patients who walk out not knowing what to do next.
1. Partner with your doc. We love it when you become the world's leading expert on you, your body and your health. (For more info, go to sharecare.com or Realage.com and search for "How can I have a better doctor checkup?" Then click on our videos.)
Knowing as much as possible about any health conditions you have — and about treatment options — can boost your well-being, save money and help you sidestep drugs and procedures you don't need.
2. Come prepared. Bring along a list of the drugs, supplements and remedies you take, extra medical info (like X-rays or reports from another doctor), all your health insurance information and a notepad and pencil to record what happens. And write down in advance any special questions you want answered.
3. Have these basic questions handy. Make sure you know the answers to these when you leave, and others you may have:
Are you concerned about any aspect of my health?
Do you have any recommendations about what I can do on my own (like exercising or diet changes) to improve my health?
Should I lose or gain weight?
Are there tests I need based on my age or for other reasons?
When should I come back for a followup appointment?
4. Set health goals with your doctor. Lose 15 pounds? Lower blood pressure or LDL cholesterol by 20 points? Set a real target, with a "done by" date. If the goal's a big one, break it down into mini or daily steps.
5. Call in reinforcements. Your doc may not have an hour to run through the basics of diabetes care or how to upgrade your eating habits, but he or she can direct you to those who do. Ask about support groups and find out what your insurance covers (visits with a registered dietitian, diabetes educator, cardiac rehab with an exercise physiologist or therapist or even people who can make reminder calls to help you stay on track). There's plenty of proof that the team approach really works.
6. Find a community of support. You can find tips for reaching out to dozens of support groups online at sharecare.com. Local hospitals will also have info.
7. Discuss what to do at home. Would a home blood pressure monitor, a new blood-sugar meter or a smartphone app that tracks your fruits and vegetables help you reach your goals?
8. Schedule a followup visit. You and your health partner (a.k.a. your doctor) can make midcourse corrections to your plan so you can meet your goal: Six visits in a row in which you achieve normal blood pressure, the best weight for your height, healthy LDL cholesterol and fasting blood sugar levels, all immunizations up-to-date and no tobacco use. Your yearly checkup isn't just to get a blessing (no cancer, whew!). It's to set targets and then ensure you have enough support to hit them.

"Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified.

~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his "Catecheses" (xiii, 36), on the sign of the cross, a practice familiar to Christians in the second century and which had passed into a gesture of benediction by the fourth century, as many quotations from the Fathers show

San Diego Comic-Con 2009: Mark Waid
Favorite interview of the show so far. Good job Babs. I lurv Mark Waid.
Your best one yet Babs. Mark seems very humble and extremely friendly. Big plus! Great job. =]
I've never been much of a Superman fan either, but Kingdom Come and Red Son gave me some respect for him. Still not a favorite of mine, but you def. have to give props to the first superhero.
He could have easily picked and chosen just to work for DC and/or Marvel but he's always expanding, offering a diverse amount of QUALITY stories. I MUST get IRREDEEMABLE, I don't know why I've not previously seen or heard about it but now that I have, I am absolutely intrigued. I LOVE that idea--A LOT. Again--Babs--nice job. You must have skates or Wonder Woman's speed because you've really been racking up the interviews!!
I love Mark Waid's work like what he did with the Flash in Terminal Velocity and of course Kingdom Come. Definitely one of my Top 5 writers.
I wish WB would get him to script a Superman movie, cause it seems like he understands how to humanzie Superman.
Also, Babs if you love Kingdom Come as much as I do. I highly recommend you look for the Kingdom Come audio cassette tapes that they did. Where they had excellent voice actors and sound effects in it. It's amazing I use to listen to it while I would be driving. lol
Love Love Love Love LOVE MARK WAID! Superman Birthright WAS AMAZING!
Mark Waid is one of the absolutely best comic writers in history in my opinion. Everything he does is epic and is one of the few writers whose work is impossible for me to let me wait for the trade.
It kills me the fact that my comic shop only gets Boom titles in TP because otherwise I would have already tried (and likely loved) Irremedeable and the Unknown
Best interview yet!!
Definitly understand his take on Superman

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I tried Minecraft, but it isn't for me. I also tried Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma. Good, but they don't have true multiplayer. | |
Dungeon Siege 3 and Dungeon Defenders sound up your alley. There also Castle Crashers if you dont mind a little Beat 'em up with your looting. --- 3ds: 0087-2460-5194 GT: onthecamelsback | |
There's not a whole lot of this type of game available right now. Your best bets would be to look into Borderlands (Borderlands 2 is coming out in September, also), though the basic gameplay is that of a first-person shooter, people love the game because it's basically as if Diablo had guns and were played from first-person (tons of loot, skill trees, character classes, etc.). If Borderlands 2 is even half as good as the first game, it'll probably still be the best game to come out this year. However, the gameplay is that of a first-person shooter. Outside of that, there's Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on XBLA. With a friend or two, you can easily expect a hundred hours out of the game, even without looking into the DLC content (I do recommend getting the DLC stages if the game strikes your fancy - I haven't tried the DLC characters though). If you have a decent PC from the past couple years, you could look into Diablo III. Not an Xbox 360 game, but it sounds like exactly the sort of thing you're looking for otherwise (if you're not familiar with Diablo, download the trial for Torchlight on XBLA and think of that, but multiplayer). I'd love to see more games like this on the 360, since they're really among my favorites, but outside of a Borderlands and the old Phantasy Star Online games, you're unfortunately pretty much out of luck if you're looking for decent ones. --- Xbox Live Gamertag: Kent Not really accepting random friend requests. | |
"Are there any MMO-like or loot-based dungeon crawlers with an active multiplayer community?" First off, let me get the most obvious out of the way. I'm assuming you don't have Diablo 3 and/or are unable to get/play said game? If you are, get it, that'll cover your loot-based dungeon crawler needs for QUITE some time to come. Past that, got a PS3 and/or Wii? Wii has Xenoblade Chronicles, which is a single-player RPG but is VERY MMO-like in it's combat and overall setup, great game overall too. Wii also has Monster Hunter Tri, which has loot-based, but to a lesser degree than maybe what you want. PS3? White Knight Chronicles II (comes with a remastered version of the first game on the disc as well), another single-player RPG with a very MMO-like setup, especially in combat, and it's also got a multiplayer component as well (so does Monster Hunter on the Wii for that matter). 360? Sacred 2. It's the closest to Diablo you'll get that has multplayer, as Torchlight (awesome by the way) but it's single-player only. Sacred 2 has online up to 4, I think, together, and I think you can do 2 locally in split screen. You need to make sure you use a 'good' build though if you want to get into the higher levels and difficulties. You should be able to get it fairly cheap now if you can find it. Don't know how active it is online, but you have some friends you know who have it or would get it as well, that'd be great. Dungeon Siege 3, granted, only the demo I've played, but it was VERY lackluster, and I liked the first two games. I'd EASILY recommend Sacred 2 over that. Dungeon Defenders was recommended, and it's cool, it's really cool, and it's got some of the loot aspect to it, but it's a tower defense game, not a dungeon crawler first, just so you know, but the trial is free, so give it a shot I suppose. Borderlands also recommended, and I give it the nod as well. GREAT game, lots of fun, great look visually, and fun action/combat. It's a FPS game that's a loot driven 'Diablo-clone', it sounds crazy, but that's what it is, and they pulled it off wonderfully. I'm really hoping they can do well with the sequel. --- To the mattresses. PSN: Justice_98405, Xbox Live: Justice98405 | |
Thanks for all the suggestions. Yeah, my PC sucks, and all the people enjoying Diablo III are making me hungry for loot, haha. |
