Menus| ******************************************************************************* ############################################################################### #03a. Main Menu# #03a. Main Menu# ############################################################################### STORY MODE The first option on the main menu. When you select Story Mode, you are given the option of three files. If it is your first time playing, all files will be labelled "New Data". If you have played a file before, that file will be called either "???" or your character's name, depending on how far you are. When you select a file, you can either "Start Story Mode", "Copy File", or "Erase File". Copying and erasing files are fairly straightforward. If you choose to start story mode, it will open a menu with "A New Journey" and "The Grand Battle", however The Grand Battle will only be available once you clear A New Journey. ARCADE MODE This option will only be available once you clear A New Journey in Story Mode. Arcade mode is eight consecutive battles. You can use any parts you have unlocked in Story Mode, and you can customize again after every battle. The opponents get consecutively harder as you progress. You can play with five different battle types: Single Battle, 2-ON-2, Tag Battle, 3-Player Battle Royal, or 4-Player Battle Royal. You can also set the difficulty level to either Normal or Hard. Winning a match in arcade mode using a certain part is the only way to unlock that part in the Parts Index. VS. MODE Vs. mode is the only mode in the game that allows more than one player. You are given six battle types to choose from: Single Battle, 2-ON-2, Tag Battle, 1-ON-2 Handicap, 3-Player Battle Royal & 4-Player Battle Royal. Within each battle type you can choose the teams. Computer-controlled opponents are only available once you clear A New Journey in Story Mode. No matter what you choose, you will also be given the option of a 3-Set Match, 5-Set Match, 7-Set Match or Endless Match. If one player/team wins more than half of the matches in 3-Set, 5-Set or 7-Set before all the matches are over, the remaining matches will still take place. After choosing the amount of matches, you will be given the option of choosing a holosseum. You can use secret select mode to choose one secretly, or if you can't choose, there is a random option in the lower- right corner. Press the Y Button on the holosseum select screen to view the battle rules. Depending on the type of battle, different rules will be shown. The options are: Battle Time: 90, 120, 180, or infinite. The default is 180. Victory Conditions: Defeat one robo or defeat two robos. The default is two. Friendly fire damage: Off or on. The default is off. Allies block gun rounds: Off or on. The default is on. Friendly pod and bomb blasts cause damage: Off or on. The default is on. Pods explode on robos other than their primary targets: Off or on. The default is off. Ally's charges cause damage: Off or on. The default is off. After the holosseum select screen, you are shown the customization screen. If a player is on a team with a CPU, they will have control over the setup. If the CPU stands alone, or is on a team with another CPU, P1 will have control over them. For player robos, you can alter all parts of a robo, as usual, and you can alter the amount of HP the robo has. The options for HP are 100%, 90%, 70%, 50%, 30%, and 20%. For CPU robos, you can alter the difficulty, type and HP. There are five different difficulties: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Very Hard. Under each difficulty, there are 20 different predetermined robo setups to choose from. Once customization is complete, the battle begins. After each battle, the score of each robo is displayed. One point is gained for winning a battle. If a team wins a battle, both winning robos will score a point. OPTIONS Rumble: Turn the Rumble Feature on or off. Illegal Parts: Turn illegal parts on or off. If disallowed, illegal parts will be unavailable in Arcade Mode or Vs. Mode. Sound Test: Press A to access a sub-menu. Sound: Set the sound to stereo or mono. BGM Volume: Change the volume of the background music, from 0% to 200%. Return to Default: Resets sound settings. Play BGM: Listen to the game music. There are 53 songs total. Only available after clearing A New Journey. Controller Config: Press A to access a configuration screen. Here you can alter the commands for the A, B, X, Y, L and R buttons. Each controller can be altered individually, but is only available if a controller is plugged into that socket. Select confirm to save settings. Select default to return to the default controller configuration. Vs. Scoreboard: Press A to access the vs. scoreboard screen. The scoreboard lists all unlocked robos, and the amount of matches they've participated in. It also shows how many victories, losses and draws the robo has, and its win percentage. At the top, the Vs. Mode play time is displayed. Press the A Button to view the second screen, which has the same information for different robos. At the bottom of the screen is the total score for all robos combined. Load Data: Use this function to load data from a memory card if you started the game without a card, or swapped cards while the game was on. Erase Data: Use this function to erase all Story Mode data, Vs. Mode data and parts data from your memory card. 1st-Person View: This option is only available once A New Journey has been completed. When on, you can press the C Stick up to activate the first-person perspective. PARTS INDEX The parts index is an index of all the parts used in the game. It is unlocked when you first clear A New Journey. At first, no parts are displayed in the parts index, but you can add parts by winning a match in Arcade Mode using that part. Trying to gain all of the parts in the Parts Index can be a good way to practice using different parts. ############################################################################### #03b.

Glossary| ******************************************************************************* ############################################################################### #04a. Normal Glossary# #04a. Normal Glossary# ############################################################################### This section is a list of all the terms that specifically apply to Custom Robo, and their definitions in alphabetical order. 2-on-2 Battle: A two-on-two battle in which two commanders team up against two opponents. Autonomous Robo: A robo that can move without a commander controlling it. Currently used only for menial tasks and heavy labor assignments. Battle Show: A secret robo-battle tournament that takes place in Bogey's Cafe. These battles have been deemed illegal because of the number of battle wagers placed on them. Battle Wager: A bet placed on a robo battle. Betting on robo battles in any form is illegal. Bogey's Cafe: A dodgy cafe owned by the equally dodgy Bogey. Ernest, chief of the Steel Hearts, is a regular customer, often seen with a nice cup of really warm tea and a notebook full of poetry. Bounty Hunter: A freelance mercenary who hunts criminals and receives rewards for their capture from law enforcement officials. Command: The act of controlling a robo. Commander: A person skilled in robo control and operation. Custom Robo: The robo, averaging about 30 cm tall, is the realization of years of work in robot technology and engineering. Commanders control their robos with their minds. Daimon: A Chinese restaurant owned by Dendai Don. They serve everything from trustworthy standards to very elaborate and exotic dishes. Dark Blue: A team of wealthy, if unscrupulous mercenaries. They are the main reason bounty hunters have a bad name, and they have fashioned themselves as Steel Hearts' rivals. Department of Licensing: The robo licensing center. Commanders-in-training must pass a test to receive their robo operator's license. The tests are administered by slightly obsolete testing machines that utilize archaic and, at times, irritating AI programs. Commanders must wait one year between each rank- advancement test. Dive: When a commander merges his or her thoughts with a robo in order to control it in a holosseum. If a commander dives for too long, his or her brain waves becomes unstable and erratic. Exam Machine: A license-test machine locates inside the Department of Licensing test hall. To take a test, insert an exam card and your robo cube into the exam machine. Eye-scan Registration: A robo will only respond to the commander to whom it has been registered. An eye scan is required to register a robo. After the eye scan is complete, the robo responds to no one but that commander. The eye-scan registration has become a ritual among commanders when they first receive a new robo. Father's Watch: The watch given to you by your late father. It is the only memento you have of him. Holosseum: A holographic battle environment roughly 3.6 square meters in size. Skilled commanders can construct their own holosseums from their thoughts and memories. For those who can't, there are prebuilt holosseums in each robo. The machine that projects the holosseum is called a holosseum deck. Hub Park: A lovely park, considered by many to be both a restful garden and a good place for a romantic rendezvous. Illegal Part: A part constructed in violation of the robo-development ordinances. All parts must conform to certain regulations when they are constructed. Parts that do not conform are considered dangerous, and commanders who use them stand in violation of the law. License: A document required by all robo commanders before diving into their first robo. Licenses are ranked in classes. Class D is the lowest, then C, B, and A. Mercenaries need a Class D license, while the police force requires a Class A license. Marv: A criminal wanted for crimes that have, at least for now, not been disclosed. Parts: The custom robo s made up of 5 parts: Body (the robo's chassis) Gun (the right arm) Bomb (the left arm) Pod (the backpack) Leg (the robo's legs) You can change any of these parts to create your own custom robo. Parts Generator: A machine that transfers downloaded parts data into robo cubes. You can find one in just about every building, public or private. They are essential to the customization of robos. Police Squad: Members use high-performance custom robos to protect themselves and to fight criminals. Police Squad HQ: Just your standard police headquarters. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along. Ray 01: Your very first robo! A Shining Fighter model. A standard, yet versatile robo. Research Lab: The official robo research laboratory, where new robo models and parts are developed and tested before hitting the market. Linda is the lab's director and chief researcher. Robo Battle: Typically, a one-on-one battle between robos that takes place in a holosseum. At the end of the robo battle, the winner gains access to the loser's parts data. Download the new parts data at a parts generator. Robo Cannon: The deployment system that launches robos into battle inside of the holosseum. Robo Cube: The form a custom robo takes when it is not fighting in a holosseum. This small, easy to carry cube contains all the parts data you've downloaded, as well as the robo itself. Safety Switch: A fail-safe switch that keeps commanders from being hurt by the stress and mental feedback of robo battles. Stealth Function: The ability some robos possess to vanish momentarily during an air dash or charge. Steel Hearts HQ: The small bounty-hunter office where you work. Although the employees of Steel Hearts want to return some dignity to the job of bounty hunter, most people just call them "bottom-feeders," common mercenaries who will do any job for the right price. Takuma University: An elite university training in both technical and robo- piloting skills. Ernest, chief of Steel Hearts, and Linda, director of the Robo Research Labs, both graduated from this elite university. In fact, Ernest graduated in the top of his class. Training Gym: A robo-battle training facility that provides commanders both real and AI opponents against whom they can improve their skills. Membership is cheap but still somehow outside of the Steel Hearts employee budget. Z Syndicate: A mysterious organization whose motives, whereabouts, and members are unknown. One thing that IS certain is that they are illegally modifying robos for some dire and, no doubt, sinister purpose. ############################################################################### #04b. Spoiler Glossary# #04b. Spoiler Glossary# ############################################################################### This is a special "spoiler" glossary containing definitions that spoils the story for the game. Only read this if you have cleared A New Journey or do not care about the story developments and strictly play the game for robo battling. Class-S Rating: The license above Class A. Currently the highest license that the public can attain is Class A, but one can take the Class-S exam if three Class-S commanders give endorsements. Class-S commanders possess skills and mental prowess far beyond those of normal commanders. The government disavows knowledge of the Class-S license. Half-Dive: A unique ability. Marcia alone possesses the power to dive into someone else's robo and read that robo's most recent battle. This allows her to see whatever its commander saw in that battle. The stress of a half-dive prevents Marcia from using this ability often. Memory-Erasure Device: A device hidden within your father's watch. It has the ability to erase Rahu's genetic memory, stopping Rahu from growing more powerful. It only works when activated with a chip that Sergei possesses. Rahu: A living being capable of integrating evolutionary enhancements from both living and nonliving objects around it. Hundreds of years ago, it all but annihilated the entire human race. The Outside World: A world that exists beyond the boundaries of the known world. ******************************************************************************* |05. Strategic Advice| |05. Strategic Advice| ******************************************************************************* The information found in this section is based on, however not a word-for-word copy of, the Strategic Advice found in the pause menu of story mode. BASIC RULES The basic idea of Custom Robo is to create a unique custom robo, and battle it against an enemy robo. You win if your opponent's energy is depleted, or if you have more HP at the end of the battle. ROBO CANNON When the battle starts, all robos will be in what's called the "robo cannon", still in robo cube form. The robo cannon can be aimed with the Control Stick. Once the robo cannon launches the robo cubes, they will roll on the ground with a random number ranging from 1 to 6 displayed. The number is the length of time in seconds you will have to wait to control your robo, however the countdown can be sped up by rapidly tapping the A, B, X or Y Buttons. NEW PARTS When you win a battle, you will most likely gain access to a new part that can be used in your next battle. However, the part will be unavailable until you visit a "parts generator". It's hard to describe what it looks like, but you'll probably know it when you see it, as they are scattered all throughout the game. TEST MODE Test mode can be activated by pressing the R Button on the customization screen. It can be used to test new parts without actually having to use them in a battle. ROBO MODELS/STYLES There are many different types of Robo Models, and all of them possess their own unique abilities, which can be seen in the Parts Index. The different types are Shining Fighter, Aerial Beauty, Metal Grappler, Little Raider, Strike Vanisher, Trick Flyer, Lightning Sky and Funky Big Head. In addition, each of these robo models comes in three different styles: Normal, Armor and Speed. Armor robos have increased defense and decreased speed. Speed robos have increased speed and decreased defense. Normal robos have a perfect balance of the two. STATUS DETAILS On the customization screen, when highlighting a part there are certain details that are displayed above the part names. This applies to robo models, guns, bombs and pods, but not legs. ROBO MODEL STATUS DETAILS DWN - Indicates the endurance level of the robo; more specifically, how much abuse it can take before it gets knocked down DEF - Indicates the defense of the robo. The higher the bar, the less damage it will take from an attack SPD - Indicates the speed of the robo SKY - Indicates the robo's proficiency at jumping and air dashing ATK - Indicates the attack power of the robo. The higher the bar, the more damage its attack will deal to the opponent GUN STATUS DETAILS ATK - Indicates how much damage the gun will inflict SPD - Indicates the round's speed after being fired from the gun HMG - Indicates how long the fired round will chase the target RPD - Indicates how fast the gun can fire DWN - Indicates the gun's ability to knock down the target BOMB STATUS DETAILS ATK - Indicates how much damage the bomb will inflict SPD - Indicates the bomb's speed after being fired SIZ - Indicates the size of the explosion left behind by the bomb TIM - Indicates how long the explosion effect remains DWN - Indicates the bomb's ability to knock down the target POD STATUS DETAILS ATK - Indicates how much damage the pod will inflict SPD - Indicates the pod's speed after being fired HMG - Indicates how long the fired pod will chase the target SIZ - Indicates the size of the explosion left behind by the pod TIM - Indicates how long the explosion effect remains SYSTEM FAILURE A robo's systems will fail if it suffers a great amount of damage in a short period of time. A robo is incapable of fighting while down, but upon recovery, the robo will temporarily be invincible. The time spent knocked down can be shortened by rapidly tapping the A, B, X or Y Button. When a robo is knocked down, recently fired gun rounds will disappear from the holosseum, so if your opponent has a slow-firing weapon, it may be better strategy to try to knock it down then dodge the oncoming round. ROBO VULNERABILITY During a battle, your robo will experience many moments of vulnerability. If you fight carelessly, your opponent will take advantage and counter your attacks. For example, when a robo stops moving, it takes a short while to accelerate to full speed again. When landing after a jump, before and after a charge, and after firing a gun or bomb are also prime moments of vulnerability. These moments of time are good times for ambushes. USING OBSTACLES Being careless in a battle may lose you valuable energy you may regret losing later. Most holosseums are designed with many barriers, so it is wise to form a strategy that somehow uses those barriers as defense from oncoming attacks. It is possible to fire your gun while moving, so it can be made that you end up behind a wall after firing your gun to protect against the enemy robo. It is also wise to time a jump dash so you end it behind a wall. CORNERS The four corners are the most dangerous places in a holosseum. If possible, try to trap your opponent in a corner, but be sure not to get trapped yourself. JUMP HEIGHT The longer you press the A Button, the higher you jump, however the robo will never exceed its own jump height. If you press the A and B Buttons simultaneously, your robo will make the smallest possible jump and fire its gun. USING PODS Pods don't have to be used to directly harm your opponent. There are many pods that will do better to block your opponent's movements then deal physical harm to them. Using pods wisely can trap your opponent in one of the holosseum's four corners. There are also some pods that are more suited to be scattered about the holosseum rather than be targeted at your opponent. Your opponent will have difficulty moving if you occasionally scatter pods. BLAST TYPES There are certain models of bombs and pods with letters in their names. The standard model without a letter will blast the target diagonally upward. Models with letters in their names have different effects: Gazer (G) - Blasts the target upward. Horizon (H) - Blasts the target slowly sideways. Burst (B) - Blasts the target sideways, close to the ground, and leaves a blast zone. Destroy (D) - Blasts the target diagonally upward, and leaves a blast zone. Stun (S) - Paralyzes the target for a short while. Pillar (P) - Blasts the target straight up, and leaves a blast zone. Flipper (F) - Blasts the target sideways. Cyclone (C) - Blasts the target slowly upward. Traction (T) - Blasts the target toward the firing robo. Knockdown (K) - Knocks down the target. Explosion (X) - Blasts the target diagonally upward. LOW AIR DASH Repeatedly tap the A Button to do a low air dash. By doing this you can move quickly without losing too much cover. CHARGING You can charge with the X Button. You will be invincible during a charge, but extremely vulnerable before and after charging. If a charge makes contact, it will automatically knock down the opponent. Every robo has a different type of charge attack. COMBOS Using your gun, bombs and pods in combination is the best way to win a battle. Although the gun is probably the most important of these three weapons, if you cannot use all three you will have trouble in the later battles of the story mode. Also, when playing with friends your attacks will be to predictable, and hence, easily avoided and countered. WEAPONS WITH AERIAL ABILITIES Some guns and bombs have different effects when fired from the air then when fired on the ground. These different effects can be seen in the weapon info on the customization screen. DODGING ROUNDS Although there are often many walls to protect yourself, it is almost impossible to avoid taking damage. When approaching your opponent, they will almost certainly fire at you. Guns with strong homing ability, but slow speed, such as the Dragon Gun and Hornet Gun can be dodged by letting them approach and jumping at the last second. Guns with high speeds, such as the Gatling Gun and the Twin Fang Gun can best be dodged by approaching while circling around your opponent. This method is much safer than a direct approach because it decreases the chance of being hit. 2-ON-2 BATTLES In a 2-on-2 battle, you and a partner robo will compete against two other robos. You win if both the opposing robos lose all of their energy before you do. Whether your partner's robo survives does not matter. You can change your target by pressing the Y Button. Your partner's gun will not harm you, however their bombs and pods will. SINGLE-USE BATTLING In The Grand Battle, some tournaments will have a single-use rule in effect. This rule will require you to change your robo model, gun, bomb and pod for every fight. The legs do not need to be changed. GRAND BATTLE SCORING In The Grand Battle, you will be awarded points for each battle. If you get a certain number of points, you may qualify for a bronze, silver or gold trophy, however the amount of points necessary changes for each tournament. The scoring works as follows: Energy: 300 points for every percentage point Time: 100 points for every second remaining Destruction Bonus: 10000 points for every robot defeated Perfect Bonus: 5000 points for winning without taking damage Losses: Score drops by 10% per loss Handicap: Score drops by 25% for each successive handicap Illegal Parts: Score drops by 50% TAG BATTLES A tag battle consists of four robos, but only two will be in the holosseum at one time. It is essentially a 1-on-1 battle where each commander has two robos. You win the battle if you reduce either of your opponents robos to 0 energy. Press the Y Button to swap robos. After changing, you must wait seven seconds before you can change again. If you change while knocked down, you will experience momentary invulnerability. If a robo's energy drops below 150 and is swapped out, it will slowly heal itself, but will never go above 150. HANDICAP BATTLES A handicap battle is a 1-on-2 battle that pits you against two enemy robos. As with a 2-on-2 battle, you can change your target with the Y Button. REVERSE HANDICAP BATTLES A reverse handicap battle is a 1-on-2 battle that pits you and a partner against one enemy robo. As with a 2-on-2 battle, whether your partner survives or not is irrelevant. BATTLE ROYAL A battle royal is exactly what it sounds like. It's a completely free-for-all match in which the last robo standing wins. In The Grand Battle, there will always be |

Toward the end of his life, Martin Luther King had turned his attention and his powerful voice toward a subject that has a firm grip on the United States today: broadening poverty and deepening income inequality. Given Kings impact on tackling civil rights injustices in this country, he might have prodded politicians and the rest of us long ago into addressing those issues had he not been assassinated at 39 in 1968.
Still, today, with the celebration of Kings birth, it seems fitting that those pressing matters are finally getting needed attention in influential quarters. Just last week, President Obama convened at the White House nearly 100 college presidents who pledged to expand higher-education opportunities for minority and low-income students. Obama last month targeted affordable post-high school education as one of the keys to moving people out of poverty, bridging the widening wage gap and increasing economic mobility. Across the political aisle, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, viewed as a future presidential candidate, also has taken note of the erosion of equal opportunity in the U.S. and urged changes.
Last week, the Brookings Institution released a report taking note of the damaging opportunity gap that exists in America, observing that a child raised in the bottom fifth of the income distribution in the U.S. now is almost six times as likely to remain there as to reach the top fifth.
A report released ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week says such inequality is a problem worldwide but particularly so in the U.S. Among the major developed countries, only Italy and the United Kingdom have less economic mobility than the U.S.
Kings concern for those problems consumed him in the five years before his death. It was no accident that the historic 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom that he helped plan, and where he gave his most memorable speech, positioned jobs before freedom in the title. King understood the need for economic mobility in maintaining a free and just society. A year after the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, King joined civil rights leaders A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin in releasing a blueprint for economic justice called the Freedom Budget. In it, they focused on specific strategies to abolish poverty and provide good jobs for all Americans not just black Americans.
King wrote the foreword to the plan, noting that the long journey ahead requires that we emphasize the needs of all America's poor. The Freedom Budget targeted equitable tax and money policies, updated Social Security and welfare programs, affordable medical care and adequate education, clean water and air, decent housing, adequate wages as well as full employment and abolition of poverty. These are all issues the country still needs to grapple with in addressing growing disparities.
By October of 1967, King had announced a Poor Peoples Campaign to call attention to Americas economic injustice and widening income gaps. That poor peoples campaign would take place in May and June of 1968, but King would not live to see it. He was assassinated on April 4.
The campaign didnt move the country especially political leaders to act on those issues. Some would say it made politicians dig in their heels in opposition.
But King was right to vociferously prod the country to act on the matter. Today, in remembering his extraordinary life, others should take up the cause and press for policies and strategies to improve the plight of the poor, reduce income disparities and boost economic mobility. Kings life was cut short in pursuit of those worthy goals. Lets commit to finishing the work he started.

Easily complete Aperture Science achievement
If you don't mind cheating a little, I have found a new method to complete the 18 gold medals in the Portal challenges without it taking days.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/u...es/212505.html While it is cheating, it simply uses a flaw in the game mechanics, so I find it quite acceptable. Plus, I had already done 14 gold challenges legitimately before the game went and glitched up my achievement back to 0 medals. There was no way I'd do it again... Hope this helps! |
quoth the server 404, link is dead
EDIT: found it http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/212505.html |
Hmmm, good way to help with the least portal rooms.
Useless for the others. |
I guess you didn't have the balls to do it honorably.
Why would you NOT try doing it the normal way? I eventually succeeded. Lol, what's next? A quick way to get Brass Balls in BioShock? A button combination to get every Ally achievement in Mass Effect unlocked? And what do you mean by disabling the colored buttons? |
Geez, this helped a ton for the least portals, but I can still only manage bronze for both least steps and least time. I think I just suck using a 360 controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, lol. Wish someone would just do these dang achievements for me cuz they're driving me batty. :rant:
Cool but why would you want Gold Medals WITHOUT the achievements?! I have bronze in all challenges and eventually I will go back and do the rest.
I got all achievements legit in all games, and I will get gold legit in portal :)
People prefer to use cheats because they are lazy/bone-idle i.e. me.
This doesn't get the achievements? or does it?
i dont no im confused
I got all the gold challenges without cheats. You know why?
Because i'm awesome. |
Isn't funny how a game you complete seems somewhat impossible to other people? I look at your gold in Portal and I'm impressed. Some people comment on how the hell I completed Assassin's Creed or Crackdown. It wasn't easy but not as hard as some people think. |
So you cant actully get acheivement when you use these?? Because im stuck on the gold time for Champer 16 the the first on with the turrets.
the ally achievement would be even greater if i could cheat like that. whats so hard about the brass balls achievement anyway? getting silver on some of the levels seem impossible enough anyways |
it only takes 1 day to fully beat portal legit (around 10 hours?). i rented it saturday morning and got all achievements by saturday night. now, i will not claim that I figured out how to do each room by myself; I am good at puzzle games and am pretty smart in general, but some of that shit got real intricate and i am really impressed by the people that figured all of that out. i watched videos for some on youtube. the videos helped give me some ideas and i eventually just figured out each room in my own modified way. cheating is for pussies.
the cheats don't disable cheats i don't think well at liest in advanced maps and i think if it's the the game enging it's fair game to use it and it's not like it is a exploit as when you enter it the steam enging tells you that cheat mode is turnt on liek in all the pc games when you enter SV_cheats 1
Confused Person
Eh. So does this disable the achievements anyway? So then there is actually no point of using these cheats because no one can see you've done it? Please tell me if this disables the achievements!
I guess if it works... I got this one fully legit, but then again the game didn't go and erase my hours upon hours of work when I got close to finishing.
a guide that makes sense to me. shame im only going to use it on the least steps challenges. i think its stupid that if you move the left analogue stick the slightest bit, it counts as you taking steps
I wish I knew about this BEFORE I tried this achievement, although it does feel good getting gold legit, a few challenges just sucked ass and took me forever. What is really sad is the very first chamber with least time took me the longest. You had to beat it in under 19 seconds and no matter how many times I did it I still ended up with 20 seconds. Finally said screw it and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and got it my 2nd try.
you can't suck that badly, dude. |
But anyway, thanks to this I finally got the three science achievements :). |

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are going digital with their newest fashion venture.
In July, the entrepreneurs will launch StyleMint.com, in partnership with Santa Monica, Calif.-based BeachMint Inc., a company headed by Josh Berman, one of the original founders of MySpace.
StyleMint will meld e-commerce and social media platforms to offer consumers a personalized shopping experience, based on a monthly opt-out model, similar to book-, music- and wine-of-the-month clubs. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will help design and merchandise the offerings — starting with a collection of women's fashion T-shirts retailing for $29.99 — as well as create regular videos for the site.
"Online commerce is the perfect medium for us to create a new brand that is as much about the clothing as it is about the customer experience," said Ashley Olsen, who was in Seattle with her twin sister for a product knowledge seminar and an in-store appearance at Nordstrom scheduled for today. "BeachMint is the ideal partner, as they share our vision for the brand and have the resources and talent to execute it."

Internet Service reviews in Bellbrook
On Monday January 5th (I believe), I called to switch my phone and internet from Dish to CentruryLink. I was quoted a great price ($45 a month for 20Mbit and unlimited phone).
The person told me that it would be set up the following Wednesday.
Note: I don't think I explicitly asked to "port" our number nor was I asked. I did say I wanted to transfer from Dish which I assumed implied that we wanted to take our number with us.
I called on that day ( 7th) and was told that it would actually take effect the following Monday ( 12th). I wasn't particularly happy with that because it meant that we couldn't cancel Dish until then but
That Monday came and I called Dish to cancel but was told that had never requested to take over our number.
Again, I called Century link (still 12th). Talked to a supervisor and he told me that they would expedite the transfer within 2 days but that it was scheduled to complete on January 21st. This time, I completed the 3rd party verification for number transfer, which the first person I talked to didn't have me do.
I will update as things progress.
Those two days passed with no action and I called back. The person I talked to seemed to have never heard of expediting a number transfer and told me to wait for January 21st.
It is not January 22nd and the transfer hasn't happened. However, yesterday (the 21st), our internet stopped working and we don't know who to call because we have two companies supposedly providing internet access.
150%. According to the representative, if you have you have to use their modem. I live in Kentucky, so I called the public service commission to a complaint, only to be told that, per the Kentucky legislature, the commission is only allowed to handle complaints related to landlines. The commission was never given authority to handle complaints about internet service, so providers can raise rates anytime and any amount in Kentucky.

California Cannot Afford to House Prisoners, Yet Continues to Spend Wastefully
Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown is in hot water because California does not have the money to house all the criminals that liberal policies have drawn to the erstwhile golden state:
Escalating a dispute with the courts over California's troubled prison system, Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday fired back at federal judges who threatened to hold him in contempt, vowing to "litigate until the Supreme Court tells us that we're not on the right track."
The governor, the target of a scathing ruling Thursday that gave him three weeks to file a plan for meeting a court-ordered cap on the prison population, said he cannot remove thousands more convicts from California lockups without a spike in crime. …
In January, Brown declared the prison crisis over and requested an end to court oversight of inmate healthcare, which costs the state roughly $1 billion each year. The judges, who have ruled that overcrowding caused unconstitutionally poor healthcare for prisoners, said no Thursday and wielded contempt threat.
Does this mean maybe Governor Moonbeam will be stuffed into one of his own overcrowded prisons? Unfortunately, no.
If the judges do hold Brown in contempt, that will most likely mean substantial fines against the state for every day it fails to comply with court orders, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at UC Irvine.
That is, the taxpayers will take it in the neck yet again.
A new study by the libertarian Reason Foundation finds that the California High-Speed Rail System will saddle taxpayers with losses between $124 million to $373 million a year.
Exaggerated ridership estimates and slower-than-promised trip speeds make the California bullet train project a big financial loser for taxpayers, says the study.
Here's an idea: why not kill the politically trendy but fiscally moronic rail boondoggle and use the money to build more prisons? But you may as well ask Governor Moonbeam to stop deliberately luring into California the illegal immigrants who constitute a reported 30% of the state's prison population. California voted to go over the cliff by electing Brown, and over the cliff it will go.

I've looked in the SDCC source code somewhat - and _bp is defined as a __data char basically - the project I'm working on assigns it as data address 0x12.
The following macro in SDCC inline assembly has a push _bp statement:
#define portSAVE_CONTEXT() \ { \ _asm \ /* Push ACC first, as when restoring the context it must be restored \ last (it is used to set the IE register). */ \ push ACC \ /* Store the IE register then disable interrupts. */ \ push IE \ clr _EA \ push DPL \ push DPH \ push b \ push ar2 \ push ar3 \ push ar4 \ push ar5 \ push ar6 \ push ar7 \ push ar0 \ push ar1 \ push PSW \ _endasm; \ PSW = 0; \ _asm \ push _bp \ _endasm; \ }
I need to be able to do the equivalent in IAR which doesn't support (directly anyway) the stack frame pointer assembly instruction - _bp.
I've found the _bp.c source code file in the SDCC source - but it is just declared as a __data char as mentioned above.
Any help on how the assembler handles push _bp and pop _bp much appreciated as I need to try and clone it in IAR, if possible.
Thanks In Advance,
John W.
Maarten Brock
Why do you think IAR uses a stack frame pointer? And if they do, what is the name it goes by?
Remember the 8051 does not have a hardware stack frame pointer, so SDCC created _bp for that purpose in software.
John W.
IAR does not use a stack frame pointer per se as does SDCC - hence the post.
I want to know how the stack frame pointer in SDCC operates so I can hopefully 'clone' the operation in IAR.
Does the stack frame pointer point to the word immediately after the last argument passed on the stack?
If I can understand how this is used in SDCC - then I can possibly clone the operation in IAR.
I looked in the SDCC docs but didn't find a clear definition of a stack frame.
Thanks In Advance,
John W.
Maarten Brock
Have a look in mcs51/gen.c genFunction().
On function entry all sorts of registers might be saved and then the old _bp is pushed onto the stack (fReentrant) and the SP is copied to _bp. If there are local variables on the stack they are allocated by incrementing the SP. So _bp points to the first local variable on stack. The parameters are at (much) lower addresses.
But I still do not understand why you would want to clone this behaviour. This is very dependent on the compiler implementation.
John W.
Thanks for this response - I looked at the gen.c file and the genFunction().
I just want to know how the stack frame pointer is defined and what defines the stack frame so I can try to build the equivalent functionality with the IAR tools.
Best Regards,
John W.
Maarten Brock
I don't know what else to tell you. Besides, as I already told you, stuff like this is very compiler dependent. You can't just mix SDCC behaviour with the IAR compiler. Why would you want to build the equivalent functionality? Doesn't the IAR compiler handle all this for you? Maybe even better than using a frame pointer.

New York counties Monday renewed their call that costs for state services and programs not be passed down to the local level.
Until the state reduces its mandates, counties will continue to face structural deficits, said Stephen Acquario, executive director of the New York State Association of Counties.
"Counties are doing their part to lower the costs they can control, but they have no ability to reduce the costs handed down by Albany," he said in a statement.
The sputtering economic climate will result in a projected cumulative fiscal gap of more than $10 billion over the next five years, NYSAC said. Despite a cap in the growth of local Medicaid costs in 2015 and a new pension tier for future public employees, local costs for nine state-mandated programs and services will outpace available property tax revenues by $130 million in 2013.
"The counties, as the administrative arm of state government delivering state services locally, are sending an alarm signal to the state that the present programs are unaffordable to the state and local governments and the status quo is unacceptable," Acquario said.
NYSAC also released a report, Roadmap to Mandate Relief. It is available at www.nysac.org.

LDC Manchester selling sets early (again)
Posted by Huw,Earlier today, forum member tom4086 posted in the forum that he bought a Haunted House at LDC Manchester, for the original price of £120. Given it's not supposed to be on sale until September, this is presumably another faux pas by the Discovery Centre. Before you all go rushing there tomorrow, it sounds as if there were not many available: he bought one of the two delivered.
Furthermore, Mikky emailed to say that he bought 9525, Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter and 9526, Palpatine's Arrest there today as well. He writes "Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but I picked up Palpatine's Arrest and Pre Vizla sets today at LDC Manchester. With 20% off today it was £48 for Chancellor and £40 for Pre Viz. Both lovely and nowhere else that I have heard of in the UK yet."
I think he's right but hopefully it won't be long before they are available elsewhere.

Prior to seeing this post, I stopped by the LEGO store in Columbus Ohio with the hope that they might slip up and put this out early. No such luck here. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I see it before the end of July (when my 10% off coupon expires).
Lucky them! I am heading to Manchester in the next few days so might be lucky as well and pick up the two exclusives, or even (albeit highly unlikely that more might have been delivered) the Haunted House!
I hope the £120 is the correct price for the Haunted House when its released in September.
That is the ultimate luck! I'm drooling right now, I'm so jealous. XD
luckily i have a ticket to go there, so i could mabye get this... or even some more stuff.
If they're not meant to be sold until september, why would it be delivered two months early? And I thought only 'proper' Lego shops got exclusives, which the LDC isn't one. Strange!
Hi (i am mikky who reported this story) I asked the assistant in the Lego Store how they had them already when nowhere else including Lego directly isn't selling them and she said that the new SW range (and the Monster Fighters as well) are sent direct from Lego and are allocated rather than them ordering them. She thinks that they get some generally unreleased sets just to see how they do at different locations (but i have my doubts on this) and they don't yet have the Sopworth Camel (she said until September), perhaps due to the mini set being offered on the lego web site.
They have 2 rows of the Pre-Vizsla maybe 10 in total and maybe 6 of the Palpatine Arrest left on Sunday afternoon. She also said that when these sets sell out, they cannot order more and are at Lego's mercy of when and if they get more until general release occurs.
I have just been on the lego.com shop and they are showing the Haunted House with a price of £149.99. I'm sure it was £119.99 when I looked a couple of days ago...
^ Thanks for pointing this out. How outrageous! £120 was pushing it but £150!? theres no way I can buy this now! :( thanks a lot lego! They must have read the unanimously positive comments and realised that they could make more money than they first thought - well not from me. I don't think any company should be able to increase the officially anounced price before release. I hope enough people skip this set until lego realises that they're being far too greedy and reduce the price back to £120.
I generally agree on the principle that a sudden jump from £120 to £150 is steep, but perhaps we should have seen this coming after they did the same with the Euro, from E150 to E180. However, comparing it to a main competitor for people's money, such as Jabba's Palace, it is still relatively good value for money.
Jabba's Palace - app. 700 pieces for £120
Haunted House - app. 2100 pieces for £150
For an extra £30 you get treble the number of pieces. I, for one, will continue to buy the Haunted House, but at £120 it would be a lot easier to swallow.
Star Wars sets are always more expensive per brick - presumably because there's licensing to pay. At £120 I thought HH was excellent and I intended to buy 2. But at £150 it's the same price as Town Hall with 700 fewer pieces and the same price as R2-D2 which has the aforementioned licensing attached. Sorry LEGO, that's two fewer HHs you'll sell.

0Jan 13, '13 by dthfytrAre you symptomatic or just blood test + ? I got transfused back in 1977, abnormal liver test since, but never to the point of symptomatic illness. Tested Hep C + in 1990. Worked as a medic, then LPN, and RN for the past 25 years. Doc says my hep C is so stable that the current treatments are more dangerous to me! If you're not physically ill (most people have hep c for many years before they develop symptoms, IF they develop symptoms) get you a good gastroenterologist to follow your condition, don't use alcohol or other drugs. If you are symptomatic, follow the docs instructions. My Hep C has remained asymptomatic even though I take Immune suppressants for an auto-immune illness.

Dodgers slashing season ticket prices
In what a Los Angeles Dodgers official said was primarily a response to fan feedback in the wake of the team's worst home attendance in a non-strike year since 1992, the club announced on Monday that it is slashing prices on all season tickets for 2012. Additionally, those holding season tickets will be given a handful of perks beginning next year, including admission to Dodger Stadium three hours before game time -- one hour earlier than those holding single-game tickets.
More From ESPNLosAngeles.com
For more news, notes and analysis of the Dodgers, check out ESPN LA's Dodgers Report. Blog
Season tickets are now priced as low as $5 a game for the Top Deck (except the front row, which is $8 a game) and top out at $80 per game for Field Box VIP seats. There are four additional seating areas in the ballpark for which season tickets can be purchased for less than $10 a game, three of them on the reserved level and one in the left-field pavilion.
Season ticket savings versus buying advance purchase single-game tickets range from 20 percent for the All You Can Eat (right-field) pavilion ($24 versus $30) to 64 percent for Preferred Loge Box Value seats and Infield Reserve Value seats (both of which are $10 versus $28 for single game).
"I think there were a lot of factors involved in deciding what season-ticket prices would be, but at the forefront was really feedback from our fans," said Dave Siegel, the Dodgers senior director of ticket sales. "(That) actually drove the process. From the very start, we wanted to put something out there that was undeniably positive for our fans."
The Dodgers drew 2,935,139 in home attendance in 2011, which was sixth in the National League and 11th in the majors but still marked the first time they failed to draw at least 3 million since 1992, when they posted their worst record (63-99) since moving to Los Angeles in 1958. This year's club started slowly and finished well out of the hunt for a playoff spot, but played well down the stretch and finished with a respectable 82-79 mark.
Siegel declined to specify whether fan feedback suggested that the decline in attendance was due to the team's play on the field, the economy or a widespread backlash against unpopular owner Frank McCourt and the club's on-going bankruptcy.
"Again, it was definitely a combination of a lot of things," he said. "But the thing that really resonated with us is that our fans didn't see the value in their season tickets like they used to. Our response to that was not only to increase the value with (lower) pricing but also to increase the benefits. At the end of the day, we want people to be proud to have Dodgers season tickets."
Siegel couldn't recall the last time, if ever, the Dodgers had lowered prices for all season ticket packages, although he did point out that some season ticket prices were lower in 2011 than in 2010, while others were higher and still others stayed the same.
As an additional enticement for potential season ticket buyers, the Dodgers will allow season ticket holders to play catch on the field with family and friends after select games. Siegel said it hasn't been determined which or how many games that will include.
"In all likelihood, it would be one or two days a month," he said. "It probably would be something like the last day game of every homestand, so our (grounds) crew has enough time to get the field ready for the next homestand. But again, those details haven't been worked out."
Season ticket holders also will be granted access to all levels of the ballpark, and MVP- and VIP-level season ticket holders will receive complimentary Stadium Club memberships that are good for the entire season.

We have been wondering for a while when we'd see Lollipop-based builds from CyanogenMod, and now is that time. For this first round of nightlies, 31 devices will be supported with many more to come in the near future. CyanogenMod 11, based on KitKat, will now be on a weekly update schedule until its M13 release, after which development will be frozen. While some bugs are to be expected, all supported devices should have core functions working smoothly right away.
Ever wanted to take handwritten notes, but didn't want to write on a digital screen? Maybe you just don't want a Samsung device, the primary Android manufacturer to offer active digitizers (better known as the "S Pen" in their marketing materials). Livescribe's smartpens have, up to now, been just a nearly perfect solution for many. You can write on real paper* and have your notes rather effortlessly synced to select digital destinations.
Look, we're not in the audiophile business. We don't cover music products that don't feature Android in some way, shape, or form. And running bleeding-edge software is not a prerequisite for quality sound. But seriously, Sony, if you're going to charge twelve hundred dollars for a device that runs Android, could you not load it with an OS build that's over two years old? Alas, such is the case with the Walkman NW-ZX2 announced at CES.
IK Multimedia took the first step in bringing its music creation tools to Android with its iRig HD-A announcement back in November, but that device was compatible with the Samsung Note 4 and Note 4 Edge only. Today, it's changing the game in a major way, as it just announced the iRig 2, which brings full Android compatibility to the table.
The iRig 2 brings a lot more to the table than just Android compatibility, as well - like a new 1/4" amplifier output, effectively turning the mobile device into a full pedalboard of sorts (maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea).
The Panasonic LUMIX CM1 is a strange beast: it's an Android phone with a huge focus on photography, a la the Galaxy S4 Zoom. But unlike that rather mid-range device (both in terms of Android hardware and photography prowess), the CM1 features a massive 1-inch, 20-megapixel camera sensor with a Leica 28mm F/2.8 lens and... dramatic pause... a manual focus ring. When it was announced at the Photokina trade show last year, Panasonic made it very clear that the LUMIX Smart Camera DSC-CM1 was only for the European market.
PasswordBox is a password manager that automatically enters your credentials into various websites and apps, not unlike LastPass. Last month the company was acquired by Intel Security, which is both absorbing the service and leaving it available in its current form for the time being. The PasswordBox team has been hard at work for its new boss, and at this year's CES, Intel Security announced True Key, built on top of the technology made available by the partnership.
Sling TV is best known for its set-top boxes that can beam your TV signal across the internet to other devices. The Dish subsidiary is set to embark on a new endeavor this year. Sling TV is set to offer a live TV streaming service that doesn't require a separate cable or satellite subscription. For $20 per month, you get a dozen streaming channels with more available as add-ons.
The SoundCloud Android app has received a slight visual touch-up in the latest update, version 14.12.18-43. Users will now see a slightly more spacious action bar, rounded menus, and Lollipop notifications. These tweaks sit on top of previous user interface changes that still look bright, colorful, and clean.
Another change takes effect only when you pause music. The changelog says that the background album art gets blurred, but on my Nexus 7, I only noticed dimming.
