Among the Centasi, especially those of the northern regions (a peculiar debased form of opera is performed among the islands of the north of which we shall not speak), there is no more beloved, ancient, and respected art than opera, that wondrous blending of theater, song, and orchestra. And there are no more respected composers of opera among the Centasi, whether ancient or contemporary opera, than the late masters Signore Anlar Parlat and Don Hazhizhab Takl. Their masterpieces, Phantom Snake and Don Han, respectively, are iconic to all Centasi.

- Comment on The plan (for now) (2011-05-01 23:26:09)
I don't see the Habs immediate future in as rosy a light as some of the more optimistic posters here present it. There are some fundamental weaknesses that have developed mainly due to poor decision-making by the team's present and immediately previous general manager. I'll focus just on the defence in this post. a) The defence as a group is too old, too slow and not physical enough. With the exception of Subban (age 22), no current regular Habs defenceman is under the age of 27 (Gorges and Wisniewski are both 27). With very few notable exceptions (like Niklas Lidstrom at age 41) there aren't many defencemen that are capable of playing at a high enough level much past age 36. The combination of younger, stronger and faster opponents added to the cumulative effect of aging bodies, injuries and slower recovery times mean that most players at least need reduced ice-times and most begin to seriously consider retirement. Bearing these obvious facts in mind, what "plan" if any existed to provide successors for this position? How long can they possibly expect Hamrlik(age 37), Spacek(age 37) and Gill(age 36) to keep on playing at all, never mind at the level required for any serious playoff run? The Hamilton Bulldogs cupboard is virtually bare for NHL-ready defencemen and two of the most recently promising blueliners, McDonagh and O'Byrne were given away. Part of the role for veteran defencemen is to have them mentor the younger guys coming up. But if one doesn't or won't supply these inevitably needed youngsters, then the veterans' experience is being sadly wasted and to boot they're also being worn down even faster than they should be. b) As for Markov(age 33), he is probably on the 'bubble' as some sports writers have written. While no doubt possessing good skills, they are only of benefit when he's healthy. And that's the rub. We've seen that he's injury prone and what's worse the most serious of his injuries have been to the knee. There's no guarantee that his knee will be able to withstand the rigors of an entire season. The very real possibility exists that it may not. Don't forget that no matter how skilled a player may be, the knee is the most critical body joint in hockey and those old enough to remember Bobby Orr know that chronic knee injuries ended his career too early. Signing Markov is a gamble, and depending heavily on him to play a key role in the defence for a whole season is an even bigger one. c) What happens to Wisniewski(age 27), Mara(age 32), Sopel(age 34) and Weber(age 23)? If choices have to be made, common sense would suggest that it would be wise to sign Wisniewski and Weber because of their skillset and age. At some point very soon Gauthier will need to form a core around which the future defence will form, in fact that process should've begun several years ago by Gainey/Gauthier instead of expecting the above named veterans to be what...here forever?! d) That leaves Gorges(age 27). He's young and yet experienced enough to comfortably assume the role of a veteran d-man. His performance in last year's playoff run and his commitment to the team speak for itself. In fact, he wanted to sign a contract extension earlier this year. His signing then should've been a no-brainer. Note: I could have sworn that Gauthier said in a press conference last week that being a GM is a "365 days a year job" and that "if you snooze, you lose". Based on what I've seen, he makes Rip van Winkle look like an insomniac! Why didn't he begin the work to re-sign when Gorges offered to? Instead of negotiating in an unhurried manner back then and getting him safely under contract fairly quickly, Gauthier refused and now has to negotiate with the clock ticking and the initiative resting now more with Gorges agent and run the real risk of having to pay more or even lose him to another club. Just because his predecessor operated that way, doesn't mean it makes any sense to put oneself behind the eight-ball when negotiating. There is after all a salary cap to consider. - Comment on Game 60: Flames freeze out Canadiens (2011-02-21 17:02:37)
So you're telling me that after trying to sign those three and not succeeding (for various reasons that I'm sure we all don't know about) Gainey should have stopped looking and done nothing further! His performance as GM should be judged on actual accomplishments, not hypothetical could-have-beens.
While some players may not want to come here you need to determine why. Is it a matter of not enough money. Or they don't like being under scrutiny to perform. Or taxes too high. Or they only want to play for a real contender. Or they don't like the way the organisation is being handled. The reasons are many and varied. But that doesn't mean there aren't quality players with heart and skills who wouldn't want to play here.
One kid growing up was a huge Habs fan and would have loved to be drafted by them. His name...Sidney Crosby. So don't tell me that no one wants to play here.
- Comment on Game 60: Flames freeze out Canadiens (2011-02-21 01:34:57)
You can't be serious. It's a joke, right? Why didn't you add several other notable 'achievements' in Gainey's career as Habs GM. Here's some you missed:
- signing the 8 million dollar - seven goal - minus 18 'star' forward
- not negotiating contracts or extensions during the season so that those players simply walk away as free agents during the summer with absolutely nothing to show for the loss of those assets
- dismantling the number one power play in the NHL
- screwing over a coach (Carbonneau) who managed to accomplish far more with the very limited offensive talent provided for him
- making scapegoats out of Koivu and Kovalev by making it appear that they were the reasons the Habs weren't more successful
- sitting on his hands for years and not getting any players like Gionta or Cammaleri to help out and take some of the scoring pressure placed squarely (and unfairly) on players like Koivu and Kovalev
- acquiring Tanguay for two first round draft picks then letting him go after a year with nothing to show for it, except the loss of two draft picks
There are probably a few others I missed, but I think the point has been made. If you're going to assess the relative merits of any GM then you've got to look at the entire record in order to arrive at a sensible conclusion. Now that would make real hockey sense.

- Comment on Habs deal Desjardins to Bolts for Ramo (2010-08-18 21:35:40)
How about brainless as in dumping a proven goalie who has more than demonstrated his maturity and capacity to play under extreme pressure very successfully in favour of one slightly younger one who has demonstrated his immaturity and incapacity to play under the same kind of pressure? If you've watched any Habs games this past season then I don't need to name the two netminders in question.
I guess Gauthier seems bound and determined to fly in the face of common sense and logic that says one should reinforce and reward success and not failure. Mike Camalleri was quoted as saying that he really enjoyed playing during the Habs playoff run. I sure hope he liked it because I doubt the Habs will ever come that close again once Gauthier's "brilliant" stewardship takes hold.
As for your last point, do you actually think that Yzerman is going to admit that he plucked a potential diamond in the rough from a gullible sap? After all, he may want to dump more crap and get much better in return from the same source in the future.
- Comment on Habs deal Desjardins to Bolts for Ramo (2010-08-17 22:16:07)
I couldn't agree more.
It's really just a sad continuation in the developing pattern of brainless deals perpetrated by Gauthier. So far he's shown us that he's the best talent acquirer for Tampa Bay and St. Louis.
Too bad he doesn't exhibit the same expertise in performing that role for the Habs.
- Comment on TGIF roundup (2010-07-11 04:07:10)
Speaking of putting a little thought into things, do you honestly believe that the Habs would have gotten as far as they did in the playoffs with Price in the net? It was plain for all rational thinkers that Halak was almost single-handedly responsible for the incredible playoff run success. After all, let's be real, the Habs are not the greatest of teams at present. What happened this spring is that they: 1) possessed a hot goaltender who inspired his team-mates to frequently play at a level much higher than their collective talent level and 2) they had a large measure of good fortune as well. How else can you possibly explain how a team that was outshot so badly and so often managed to win so many games? And as a reward for Halak's valuable and outstanding play our "genius GM" gives him away for potentially useful but by no means guaranteed performers! Isn't the goal of any enterprise seeking success to keep what works and dump what doesn't? I've yet to run across any knowledgable hockey analyst who thinks otherwise. In fact isn't it the conventional wisdom as put forward by hockey gurus that a succesful team is built from the net outwards? I suppose Gauthier didn't believe the proof of that as witnessed by his own eyes this past spring.
As for Plekanec, what exactly makes him so valuable or sacred that he needed to be signed at all costs? He has exhibited somewhat of a tendency in his time with the Habs to fall into that category of player who's a regular season hero and a playoff zero. It must be one of Gauthier's criteria as he also just had to sign Pouliot who has shown so far to be that type of player as well. No one can deny that he virtually vanished in the playoffs.
Don't forget we live in an age of free agents. The current strategy seems to be go out and just sign up what you need as there's always a number available out there. Isn't that how the core of the Habs was built now? (For reference consider Gomez, Gill, Cammalleri, Gionta, Spacek and several other minor ones.)
All hockey experts and fans agree that the "real" season starts in April and ends in June. Any player who exhibits skill, can handle the pressure and excells at that time of the year belongs on the team. Any who fail to perform don't belong. And any who exhibits top ability both during the regular season and in the playoffs is a rare gem to be treasured. There's no question that Halak falls into this last category.
If the "market is clearly not there for goalies" as you claim, then how would you go about explaining why St. Louis promptly signed Halak for $15 million over 4 years? Perhaps you ought to take your own advice and put some thought into what you write down.
- Comment on Too quiet (2010-07-10 11:54:38)
Purely a personal opinion, but others may feel the same way regarding what I see as the underlying problems with the draft lottery and the health of professional hockey.
The main cause of the problem is free agency. It has created a league of nomadic mercenaries that ultimately destroys the notion of drafting and the farm system as the way to build a team. I can see how it came about as a reaction to exploitive owners who up until the 60's paid the players peanuts. But now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction where too many players are being grossly overpaid. Salaries have reached the point where, as a band-aid solution, a team salary cap had to be instituted or the very real danger of small-market teams having to fold or move because they couldn't keep up with the big-market teams driving up the costs simply to buy championships.
The problem is that the salary cap shouldn't be a team cap but an individual player salary cap. The ultimate solution would be to have fixed salaries for players based on years of service and player position with any potential bonuses based on team or individual performances over and above the baseline pay rate. This would prevent the current condition where a small core of players hogs too much of the available financial pie and leaves little left to compensate other roster players thereby weakening the overall team talent level and having to shed some players that you would like to keep.
And I'm not talking about revisiting the bad old days. Considering the mutual interests of players and management for a healthy, competitive and profitable league and with the players organised as they are now along union lines there is no danger of them being underpaid ever again. The end result would be to restore the draft and farm system as essential components to build a team. It would also weed out the incompetent general managers by making them become shrewder handlers of a team's player personnel through drafting and trading and just not annual signers of cheques to the latest hired gun whose "team loyalty" extends as far as the bank. Time was when the players became a part of the communities of the teams they played for. Nowadays, not so much, as they exist on such an elevated financial plane from the average fan that they inhabit a fantastic existence far removed from you and me. And that extends increasingly even to fringe players with modest talent as well as to the superstars.
I think a player's loss of freedom to decide where they feel like playing or what team will pay the most or will provide the surest chance to win is a small price to pay for the privilege of playing a sport , being exceedingly well-compensated to do so, and ensure the long-term survival of the game and career they profess to love.
- Comment on TGIF roundup (2010-07-10 04:35:00)
Lots have changed for the Habs since any of my last posts...except one thing. And that's the level of muddle-headedness of the team's general management.
Personally, I would have chosen Halak over Price because of demonstrated skill, maturity and the confidence he generated among his team-mates. Many rightfully considered him a Conn Smythe candidate. They knew they could depend on him to make the big saves under pressure when one of them screwed up. Not so with Price. Due no doubt to team solidarity (and the players won't admit it) but you could see in their faces and on-ice demeanour that the defencemen especially were terrified that if they made the slightest error with Price in the net, it would likely result in a goal. It doesn't seem the best sort of way to build team morale for a serious run at the Cup does it?
In any event, Gauthier (a true Gainey disciple unfortunately) opted to go with Price and "trade" Halak. Or should I say give him to the Blues for a couple of farmhands who'll be lucky to even set foot in the Bell Centre sometime in the future.
Hmm...I wonder if the NHL should have a special Generosity Award for the GM who donates so much talent to other league teams and receives so little in return. That would likely be the only trophy the Habs would likely compete for and win. But I digress.
What is truly astounding is that the dumping of Halak was done BEFORE signing Price. For a GM who's supposed to be all concerned about salary-cap space he's left the vault door open for Price's agent all because, except for the back-up Auld. the Habs presently don't have a first-string goalie on the roster! Wouldn't it have made much more business sense to sign Price before trading Halak? The way it stands now the Habs run the very real risk of having lost the services of all their premier netminders and will have to pay a premium to sign one.
I'm guessing the only long-term hope for the Habs is for Geoff Molson to take control and boot the Boivin-Gauthier-Gainey clique out the door and get some real hockey men who know what they're doing to run the team properly. In the meantime.......sigh.
- Comment on The Islanders? Really?? (2011-02-11 21:44:42)
Enough is enough. There were 9 goals scored by the Habs in the last two games giving a potential of 27 scoring points. How many did the highest paid forward (and overall team highest paid) get? Nada, zip, zero. Without question, Gomez has to be the most useless player the Habs are saddled with. He gets paid a Sidney Crosby-like salary and delivers a Travis Moen-like scoring ability. Absolutely disgraceful. It's now 2/3 into the season and he's got 7 goals. Wow...he's on pace to get maybe 10 this year! Hell, Kovalev and Koivu are currently better at burying the rubber in the net...and at a fraction of the cost! Not only does Gomez not score, but he does little to prevent the opposition from doing so while he's on the ice. His +/- number is the worst on the team. (I'm not counting Wisniewski as much of his was acquired while with the cellar-dwelling Islanders). If he were any place else in the league he'd have been benched or sent to the minors. But here the coach's hands are tied. How would it look to not play your highest paid "star"? Jacques Martin has to be fuming. The worst culprits in this fiasco have got to be the then managing tandem of Gainey and Gauthier. What were they possibly thinking when they took Gomez? He had a proven track record of under-achieving for all of his NHL career except for one year out of the fifteen-plus he's played. Even the most gullible of casino gamblers wouldn't touch those odds. What's even more damaging is that there's virtually no salary-cap space left to acquire a real scorer for the playoff drive this season and likely for years to come. They certainly can't trade Gomez simply because there aren't any other GM's stupid enough to take him. Eventually, his presence on the team will become a corrosive distraction. What do you say to all those others who perform better, but get paid 1/7 or 1/8 of what Gomez gets, when contract time rolls around? It's almost inevitable that at some point in the future something will have to be done, but it will prove to be costly in terms of money and reputations. Current management will need to all but admit it made a bonehead move acquiring him in the first place and then they'll need to ask the owner to bite the bullet and provide the funds to buy out his contract. They could follow the Blackhawks method and ship him off to Europe where at least his salary would cease to be factored into the Habs cap space. Either way he still gets paid. The thinking Habs fans are not idiots. They know champs from chumps and I'm sure a great many of them have been thinking along the same lines as those expressed here. We keep getting told that hockey is a business. Now tell me, what kind of a business will succeed by purchasing inferior products or investing in incompetent employees? Well this little speech is over, and I'm not certain that anyone will be able to rationally dispute the facts or logic presented.

Got them for a dental office lobby. They are gorgeous. We constantly get compliments about them. They are sturdy and the cushions are firm enough that it doesn't seem like the will sink in for a long time. Great quality, they don't look cheap at all. The dark gray and the dark wood legs look very modern but the tufting makes them look luxurious. Happy customer!
We ordered 4 of these chairs for a sitting area and overall we were very pleased with the look and feel of these chairs. The detail in the chairs was identical on all 4 and they are comfortable to sit in.
Good chair for use in bedroom or apartment, nice detail. It arrived on time and was just what I expected.
I bought two of these chairs for my office, and they look great, they get lots of compliments. They came fully-assembled, which was nice, but on the outside of one of the arms, at the corner, the frame was nearly poking out of the fabric (a metal piece of some sort?). We hammered it back in and the fabric is covering it just fine now, but I have to admit that it didn't thrill me - that's why it's only getting 3 stars from me. It's an otherwise sturdy, attractive chair. The chairs are pretty comfy, too. I sit in them instead of my desk chair once in a while if I have a lot of reading to do. Another reviewer insisted that the chairs are a vinyl, but that is totally inaccurate. It's an upholstery fabric, almost tweed-like.
small chair but would go great in an apartment. The fabric has a natural feel to it which was very nice. The gray color is darker than some I have seen, more of a charcoal color but went with my other furniture perferctly. I really like this chair, and may buy another so can pair it for sitting area.
If I could have ordered 2 of these chairs I would have. I love it. Perfect for a smaller place.
I purchased this for my husband's office and he loves it!
Chair is perfect for a small space. It is just what I needed. Gives good support with it's firmness. It comes assembled and that is great. It arrived in 2 days and we are very happy with it.
i needed a firm chair and that is exactly what this is. looks nice in the space, doesn't take up too much room for an arm chair.
We looked forever for an accent chair to go in our office and it was impossible to find one taller than 30 inches!! This chair is perfect and we LOVE the look of it! It's big enough to sit in and be comfy!

Alternatives to Zach as a narrative concept/immersion element?
By Cerogravian 11 Comments
One of the main reasons I got enthralled by Deadly Premonition, besides the obvious ones such as my love for twin peaks, weirdness, alternate world horror and original zombies, is the way the game uses Zach.
I've seen some mixed opinions and interpretations of Zach here, but most people seem to merely focus on his place in the plot and backstory and whatnot. I feel that Zack is one of the best attempts at bridging the gap between the player and the player character. A trauma-induced second personality that the protagonist confides in, consults, and ultimately hides behind when exposed to new threatening situations is in my opinion one of the best solutions I have yet to see. Amongst other things it enables some smooth plot exposition and gives the reason why, in this case, agent York is merely watching from the back seat as it were, while someone else is at the wheel.
I would love to see, or create, more innovative approaches to this. I've always had a soft spot for a mental second, but it mostly ends up being an antagonist... Which isn't always bad, but not what I'm out for.
The place of the player, and the general narration is something many games stumble and fall over, and not much innovation is present. It would be great to see more inspirational examples, or hear general thoughts on this as well.

In his opening address to the IMO's Maritime Safety Committee's 91st Session Mr. Koji Sekimizu pushes for publication of Costa Concordia accident report. An extract of the Secretary-General's remarks on the Costa Concordia issue follow: "As the loss of the Costa Concordia amply demonstrated, those affected are quick to call for action. The international nature of the passengers and crew – with some 70 nationalities involved in the Costa Concordia incident – highlighted the need for an international response, through IMO, to take the appropriate and necessary action in evaluating, developing, and implementing any provisions that might be recommended and needed, following consideration of the outcome of the casualty investigation and any other relevant information. The Committee supported the establishment of a clear timetable for consideration of the need for improvements or modifications to the current international regulations, based on the outcome of the casualty investigation of the Costa Concordia accident. In this context, the key issue for the credibility of the Organization was the speedy conduct of the casualty investigation by the flag State authority and submission to the Organization of any findings, so that the Committee could take the necessary action as soon as possible. It is almost a year since the vessel's grounding and capsize and we are still awaiting the official casualty investigation report – but I welcome the information provided by Italy providing an update on developments and providing an early indication of the issues the Organization may wish to consider in the future. My view is that the conduct of emergency drills, control of access to the navigation bridge and the voyage plan are the areas we need to address with urgency and I would like to speak more on these matters under agenda item 7."

The Reason as to why JRPGs are in their current state
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
They're not localizing the great, traditional JRPGS that we WANT to play! Instead publishers like NISA and Aksys give us moe/loli junk that no hardcore RPG gamer truly cares about. They don't just give us bad JRPGS, they taint the whole image of JRPGS which pushes the mainstream even further away from them! Huh, you shouldnt blame nisa and aksys. They always localized this kind of game. Not to mention, a few like Sakura Wars and Ateliers are quite decent. ALso, you shouldnt treat those companies as if they were a collective mind altogether. If S-E didnt localized Type-0, it have nothing to do with NISA localizing Neptunia 10. That is pretty much what "taints" the image of jrpg (not that we should care about that). Its grabbing the worst case available and generalizing it to the whole genre and everything that country produce. That is what the press does...I absolutely love Dragon Age Origins but i still liked both The World Ends WIth You and Radiant Historia better... --- NP: R&C A Crack in Time and Tales of Symphonia. | |
From: EurAsianGirl | #026 BokuxPico posted...There were more JRPGs being made on the PS2. Even if you count handhelds and unlocalized games there was simply a boat load of more JRPGs made on the PS2. Partially because some studios have gone out of business and it's not as profitable anymore to make them. Probably because a story based genre can only last so long before the defining differences between the games becomes the art and names. Genres that don't rely heavily on their story to be good (action, FPS, etc.) won't have this issue because they can give out a really crappy story and still be good due to story being an after thought. RPGs, on the other hand, can only have so many games before the scripts just start looking the same sans the names of characters and locations. I mean, how many "A must save the world from Z with the help of B, C, D, and E" games are there already? For a genre that relies 80% on story to sell games, there is a surprisingly low amount of ideas that haven't already been made. --- http://digitalmasters.4umotion.com/ Join and make friends.

From: SomeMacGuy | #093 because the formula still works If the declining global interest and sales, along with the decreasing safety of publishing the games for consoles suggest anything it's that the genre is getting stale and needs a break before making a big come back. --- http://digitalmasters.4umotion.com/ Join and make friends. My Anime List: http://tinyurl.com/c6ylh9y (Updates regularly) | |
I agree with TC about publisher like NISA and aksys keep making Loli and weird games and it gives JRPG a bad rep in general, but that only one of many reason why JRPG is in this current state. I think i understand how TC feel. I am very tolerable person i play Mario, pokemon and little big planet and i don't feel the game is childish at all, the gameplay is great that all i care about. I play tales series, persona and kingdom heart and i don't feel the game is loli and cliche at all , the story is great and the gameplay is amazing. But game like atelier and many NIS games is just to f***ing weird to my taste. Even disgaea is still too weird for me, even though the gameplay is great, the character and the story is just too ugh........ cliche and weird. And i say to myself oh god stop making Disgaea on console and start making FF tactics and Tactics Ogre instead. event though Tales games and Atelier games is both anime style, i think many JRPG fan realize it to the different between them. One is badas* anime like Dragon Ball, One Piece or Code Geass the other is weird kind of anime --- I am an epic junkie | |
Please tone down the bigotry EurAsianGirl. --- http://bbsimg.ngfiles.com/15/15988000/ngbbs47fa102e7660f.gif | |
EurAsianGirl posted... Nightmare637 posted...opinions, I like them. Are you for or against them? You seemed to be insulting those same JRPGs in your next post. --- You lack the mustache for full comprehension. (Super Paper Mario) | |
Call of Duty is the bane of all existence. --- I AM SATANAIL. HE WHO SHALL SET RIGHT THIS DISTORTED UNIVERSE!!! | |
EurAsianGirl posted... Sinfullyvannila posted...EurAsianGirl posted...Sinfullyvannila posted...Your qualifiers for a serious JRPG. Why not? They are the foundations of the genre. They are the ones that established the "tradition" in traditional. --- Polite conversation should never include Politics, Religion or what constitutes an RPG. Playing a game for it's story is like watching porn for it's story. | |
This gen has incredibly raised the bar thanks to the golden era of multiplayer and shooters. Therefore, a JRPG cannot even sell 10% of what a shooter does, and because of that, they move on to handhelds, because it's not that expensive to develop games there |

Meanwhile, I want to thank Marcel for his tireless efforts in the upgrade. Great Work

The full editor now works in IE10, thanks very much.
YouTube videos embedded in posts still won't render in IE10 though.
This is known. Use special bbcode dropdown top left of the editor and select add media, then it will embed.
Fixed Join date, lots of other stuff (see Site & Forum Issues).
I suspect it'll be back.
We moved it into the sidebar and dropped BPN link.
