Nicolas Winding Refn Won't Be The One to Bring Us 'The Bringing'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on June 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt has not been brougthen. Well, apparently. Justin Kroll of Variety reports via via his Twitter (via /Film) that director Nicolas Winding Refn will not direct the poorly-named, loosely fact-based horror film The Bringing, freeing him up to make other films with (probably) better names. Refn was rumored for the gig last month, and although it sounds as if he got pretty far into the negotiation process with Sony, Kroll reports that Refn is off the film because "negotiations have stalled." The Bringing would have, ahem, brought Refn back to downtown Los Angeles (home of his Drive) and allowed the notorious horror fan to make a true scary story for the big screen. Penned by the Murphy brothers — Brandon Murphy and Phillip Murphy – the story is supposedly inspired by the creepy disappearance of Elisa Lam at downtown LA's Cecil Hotel. Lam, a Canadian visiting the country, went missing back in February of 2013. Her body was eventually found in one of the water tanks on the roof the building, and the events surrounded her death remain veiled in mystery.
Movie Houses of Worship: The Indiana University Cinema
Features By Landon Palmer on September 15, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"Movie Houses of Worship" is a regular feature spotlighting our favorite movie theaters around the world, those temples of cinema catering to the most religious-like film geeks. If you'd like to suggest or submit a place you regularly worship at the altar of cinema, please email our weekend editor. The Indiana University Cinema Location: 1213 East 7th St. Bloomington, IN Date Opened: January 13, 2011 No. of Screens: 1 Current first-run titles: Only God Forgives. This weekend, the cinema devoted itself to a retrospective of the work of director Nicolas Winding Refn, who was present for several introductions, conversations, Q&As and (of course) his latest Gosling-fest. Repertory Programming: Filling out the rest of the Refn series were screenings of Bronson, Valhalla Rising and Drive, all presented on 35mm prints. And in a shrewd programming move during a weekend that hosted a director known for his love of B-movies and schlock cinema, this weekend launched the Cinema's annual Midnight series with H. Tjut Djalil's trash-terpiece Lady Terminator. Sunday began another director retrospective focused on the work of independent filmmaker and distributor Ava DuVernay, beginning with the Jamaican crime drama Better Mus' Come and DuVernay's own hip-hop documentary This is the Life. The DuVernay screenings continue throughout the week at the IU Cinema and the campus's Black Film Center Archive.
Blood Outside the Multiplex: The Arthouse Violence of 'Only God Forgives,' 'Fruitvale Station,' and 'Act of Killing'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 23, 2013 | Comments (2)There's plenty of violence in Hollywood summer tentpole movies. In superhero films and toy adaptations, it's become something resembling common practice to have a climax that involves the probable off-screen collateral deaths of thousands of nameless civilians. But most Hollywood film violence is of the largely inconsequential, routinely PG-13 variety, with the bad guy inevitably receiving their comeuppance, all of it "tastefully" lacking realism. As if Hollywood's representations of violence didn't seem cartoonishly inconsequential enough, in a move approaching self-parody, this weekend saw the major release of a film involving supernatural cops who hunt down perpetrators that are already dead. Early this year, in response to the controversy over the representation of torture in Zero Dark Thirty, I quoted the argument from a friend's rather great book that "movie violence" is a floating, elusive signifier; it hardly means one given thing, and its possible meanings and potential affects are largely dependent upon a great many intersecting factors. While I stand by this assertion, during the summer more than any time of year, it's clear that Hollywood film violence can be relatively homogenous: typically passive, unimaginative, unserious, stultifying. But during past few weeks, the limited release/arthouse sector has seen an abundance of films that represent violent actions in myriad ways, using and exploring violence towards varying ends, none of which involve a fleeting moment of utilitarian spectacle.
Good Taste, The Enemy of Creativity
Features By Jack Giroux on July 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentNicolas Winding Refn had his biggest hit with Drive. The film may have angered some viewers enough to file a lawsuit, but it also inspired a generation of young hipsters to empower themselves by donning The Driver's scorpion-spangled jacket. Whether that's a good thing is up for debate, but to make someone feel inspired enough to wear the jacket of a violent criminal is no small feat. After audiences see Refn's followup film Only God Forgives no one is going to want mimic these characters. The poppy soundtrack, stoic lead, and fairy tale romance from his previous Gosling-starring flick is nowhere to be found in this Bangkok-set crime picture. The Bronson director could have gone on to make a spiritual sequel to Drive, in terms of trying to recapture that success, but instead he has made a movie that appeals to an almost entirely different sensibility. Refn never even considered exploring the same territory. "I was going to make this movie before Drive, so there wasn't any thought of doing that," he explains. Basically, there was no time for thought, either. Refn is one fast worker, and according to him, it shows onscreen. "I did Bronson and Valhalla Rising back-to-back, and I did the same with Drive and Only God Forgives. I'm sure they have effects on the extremes of both movies."
6 Filmmaking Tips From Nicolas Winding Refn
Features By Landon Palmer on July 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhile doing press for Valhalla Rising, Danish American filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn announced that the film marked a new stage in his career. After the manic, Brechtian anti-biopic Bronson; the sprawling Pusher trilogy that's more Gaspar Noe than Gaspar Noe; and the little-seen Fear X, Refn began a series of films about quiet, enigmatic supermen. He continued this focus with Drive, his commercial breakthrough, and has now followed it up with Only God Forgives, which sees a VOD and limited theatrical release this Friday. While Bronson and the first Pusher film were justifiably celebrated, it's this current stage of his career that has, for many, defined what "a Nicolas Winding Refn film" means: atmospheric, ultra-violent, deliberately paced, heavy on style. Refn is one of the strangest young auteurs working today, in terms of both his esoteric films and his occasionally bizarre interviews. And his career is only going to get more interesting: his vast slate of possible subsequent projects that include a Logan's Run remake, a Wonder Woman movie, an adaptation of the comic Button Man, a prequel to the 80s midnight flick Maniac Cop, and an erotic horror film titled I Walk With the Dead. So while he's on the up and up, here's some free advice (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the man responsible for Mads Mikkelsen's one eye, Tom Hardy's curly mustache, and "The Gosling Stare."
Thai By Night: Nicolas Winding Refn and Cliff Martinez on 'Only God Forgives'
Features By Brian Salisbury on July 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentNicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, is a gorgeously photographed series of fascinating contradictions. Ryan Gosling is very much his character from Drive, but he's also wildly different. There's also an antagonist who simultaneously represents both god and the devil, and in terms of mainstream appeal, Drive is a Marvel film compared to Only God Forgives. Yet the latter features Refn's most diabolical super villain in Kristin Scott Thomas. Contradictions. So it seemed natural that my interview with Refn and composer Cliff Martinez took place in a trendy bar in downtown Austin that began life as a seedy brothel. Ornate floral wallpaper looked down on overstuffed booths, adding a kind of Victorian flourish to a space that saw three decades worth of illegal happy endings. It seemed appropriate, and it also wasn't surprising when more contradictions came pouring out.
'Only God Forgives' Review: A Crushing Disappointment
Movie Reviews By Shaun Munro on July 16, 2013 | Comments (10)Editor's Note: This review appeared as part of our Cannes 2013 coverage. Seeing as Only God Forgives is making its way into theaters in the U.S. this week, we are republishing it for your reading pleasure. Arguably the most anticipated film of this year's Cannes Film Festival is one that on the face of it, though In Competition, has little chance of scooping the Palme D'Or by virtue of subject matter alone. Only God Forgives, the latest film from Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, follows the filmmaker's hugely popular 2011 Cannes In Competition entry Drive (which scooped Refn the Best Director award), yet is a baffling follow-up that evoked strongly divided responses at this morning's jam-packed press screening.
Cliff Martinez Discusses Thai Influences and His Accidental "Horror" Score for 'Only God Forgives'
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on July 12, 2013 | Comments (3)Anyone who has seen the trailer for Only God Forgives knows that director Nicolas Winding Refn's latest promises to take viewers on a wild, intense ride through the back alleys of Thailand. Refn once again teams up with Ryan Gosling, who plays soft-spoken drug runner Julian, and composer Cliff Martinez to create a stylized and violent world that is nothing short of a living nightmare. Martinez creates a layered score that incorporates kinetic electronic elements with bold organs and Asian instrumentation that work perfectly with the sound design and sparse dialogue (a Refn favorite, these days anyway.) I spoke with Martinez about constructing such a commanding score, working with Refn again, unavoidable Drive influences, and the challenge of creating music that actually helps tell the story rather than just accent it.
'Only God Forgives' Red Band Trailer: Ryan Gosling Drags a Dude Down a Hall By the Teeth
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 4, 2013 | Comments (1)The worst thing about the Only God Forgives trailer is the "Coming Soon" tag at the end. This thing needs a US release date quick or Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling's fans are going to riot in the street. I'll be at the front of the pack participating in some anarchy with whatever I can grab. In the movie, Gosling plays a gangster feuding with a man of the law (Vithaya Pansringarm) in the mean streets of Bangkok. To settle the score, the two men agree to take the fight into the ring. The trailer itself is aggressively sensual. Entire scenes bathed in red. A dreamy music-box-based song to go along with all the violence being shown. It also looks like it might have the best Kristin Scott Thomas performance since Tell No One. Check it out for yourself:
Nicolas Winding Refn Exits Denzel Washington-Starring 'Equalizer' Adaptation
In Development By Kate Erbland on January 9, 2013 | Comments (1)Looks like fans of 1980's crime television series The Equalizer, Denzel Washington, and Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn are going to have to recalibrate their expectations, as the helmer has just dropped out of the Washington-starring feature adaptation of the show. Collider exclusively reports that "the deal fell apart at the last minute due to unknown reasons," though it seems fair to suspect that scheduling could be an issue – Sony still wants to shoot the film in May, and Refn will surely be busy promoting his Only God Forgives around that time (the film opens on May 23) and gearing up for both his Logan's Run remake and Button Man adaptation. Washington signed up for the part way back in July, with Refn coming on board just last month. Washington remains attached to the project, and Sony is reportedly looking for a new helmer to get the project in front of cameras this spring. Like the show, the film will focus on Robert McCall (Washington), a retired intelligence agent who dabbles in private eye work, with a special flair for "equalizing" the odds for clients who come to him with complicated problems. The film features a script by Richard Wenk, who is currently working on that Grayskull script and most recently penned The Expendables 2. Wenk also, amusingly enough, co-produced The Girl Next Door and directed one episode of the Sweet Valley High television show back in the '90s. Suddenly, we're insanely excited about his Equalizer.
'Only God Forgives' Teaser: Nicolas Winding Refn Introduces Ryan Gosling to the Devil
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 7, 2013 | Comments (5)It's in French, and it's only 20 seconds, but we take what we can get when it comes to anything Nicolas Winding Refn has to show. Plus, we have several translation programs, so we fear no French. Refn's latest — as you probably know — shows him shoving Ryan Gosling into a violent world again, only this time he's playing a gangster who seeks to settle a score with Bangkok policeman inside a Thai boxing ring. So far, all the marketing has featured black eyes and bruises, and it doesn't appear as if the swelling will go down anytime soon. Check out this brief tease for yourself:
Nicolas Winding Refn Wrecks Ryan Gosling's Face in New 'Only God Forgives' Promo
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 19, 2012 | Comments (2)This one pretty much speaks for itself. Over at The Film Stage, a reader sent over a fresh look at Ryan Gosling in Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives and damn if it doesn't sting. Much like their previous effort together, Drive, Refn doesn't seem afraid to muss up his pretty boy star, and Gosling seems just fine rolling with the punches. Details on the project are scarce, but we know it centers on a Bangkok police lieutenant and a gangster who decide to "settle their differences" the safe way – with a Thai boxing match. The film is expected to arrive in 2013.
Ryan Gosling No Longer Training For 'Logan's Run'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on October 25, 2012 | Comments (1)According to Variety's Justin Kroll, Ryan Gosling won't be involved in Nicolas Winding Refn's remake of Logan's Run after all. It was set to be the third collaboration between the pair following Drive and the forthcoming Only God Forgives, but now the project – which is set up over at Warners – is in need of a lead. There's not much information here, so trying to come up with a reason would be pure speculation, although Gosling is planning on directing for the first time with How to Catch a Monster in just a few months, so it could be a simple scheduling issue. The original, based off the novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, told the story of a future that's (surprise) Dystopian in nature. Michael York played Logan 5, an enforcer charged with killing people who have hit their 30th birthday but have refused a ceremony called "Carrousel" which might be a chance at reincarnation or a front for pure population control. When they run, he chases them down. While the original film is a lot of depressing fun, a remake wouldn't be such a bad prospect, especially with an insane person like Refn at the wheel. With Gosling gone, though, it seems all but certain that someone like Colin Farrell will fill the position. Did it just get more generic, or could a new actor bring an even better angle to the project?
Nicolas Winding Refn in Negotiations For 'Button Man,' A 'Hunger Games' For Grown-Ups
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSeeing as stills are starting to come out for Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn's latest project, Only God Forgives, one can only assume that work on that film is moving along swimmingly and it's probably time to start wondering about what he's going to do next. If the 24-hour news cycle is good for anything, it's promoting constant speculation. This time, however, the speculation has the benefit of not being completely unfounded. Deadline Køge is reporting that Refn is currently in negotiations with Dreamworks to helm Button Man, an adaptation of a graphic novel called "Button Man: The Killing Game" that was written by Judge Dredd creator John Wagner. The comic book follows the misadventures of professional killer Harry Exton, who is hired to take part in a game where millionaires have trained assassins battle each other to the death for their amusement. It's like The Hunger Games, only better because the people trying to kill each other are actually good at it and don't have to resort to sicking bees on each other and tricking each other into eating berries. Of course, there's a wrinkle in the story, and it comes when Exton decides that he doesn't want to be a gladiator anymore and has to find a way to get himself out of the games.
Nicolas Winding Refn Kicks Ryan Gosling's Ass for These 'Only God Forgives' Pics
Movie News By Scott Beggs on May 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNicolas Winding Refn's forthcoming Only God Forgives is the story of a director in search of cool toys to collect, but in front of the cameras, it's the tale of a policeman in Bangkok getting into a Thai boxing ring with a notorious gangster. It stars Ryan Gosling, Kristen Scott Thomas, Yayaying and Vithaya Pansringarm, and by the looks of these first images, it looks like the bruises are still fresh.
Daniel Espinosa to Direct Gritty 'The Outsider' Next
In Development By Kate Erbland on March 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLooks like Hollywood has picked their next big action director, and they're not wasting much time setting him up with his next project. Daniel Espinosa likely made Universal very happy with his first English-language film, Safe House, which has already grossed $135m, and now Warner Bros. wants in on what the Snabba Cash helmer is dishing out. The studio is reportedly in negotiations for Espinosa to direct The Outsider, "a gritty action film" that centers on "a POW in Osaka in WWII who goes to work for the Yakuza." Grit? Action? Bad people? Yup, that's Espinosa's wheelhouse. The script's been written by newcomer Andrew Baldwin, and he comes with his very own pedigree. While Baldwin hasn't seen one of his scripts hit the screen yet, he's a hot commodity in Hollywood. Last October, he was hired on to rewrite the Logan's Run remake that Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling have been all over, and he's been on the Black List twice – once with The Outsider in 2011 and once with The West Is Dead in 2008. When it appeared on the Black List, the logline for the film read "In post World War II Japan, an American former prisoner-of-war rises in the yakuza," so yeah, that's about what we've got for now.
Year in Review: Ryan Gosling's 'Drive' Elevator Stomping is the Definitive Scene of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Neil Miller on December 31, 2011 | Comments (4)In our final 2011 edition of Scenes We Love, a column you'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming year, we'd like to celebrate the scene that, in our humble opinion, was the definitive and most memorable scene of the entire year. A great deal of care and collaboration went into the choosing of this winner, with every FSR staff writer first submitting nominations then a fierce round of voting. In my final thoughts, I'll reveal the runners up. But for now, lets just enjoy the majesty of a moment that is all at once romantic and violent, sweet and salty, quiet and louder than a bomb.
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
FilmDistrict is Being Sued for Marketing 'Drive' Too Well
Movie News By Jack Giroux on October 7, 2011 | Comments (31)Everyone's complained about misleading and overly spoilerific trailers at one point or another. They're all annoying, but they're trailers. We deal with them. Well, at least that used to be the case. Now one member of society who's so fed up with studios selling their movies in a "bait-and-switch" fashion is taking this very, very serious matter to where it belongs: the justice system! What film provoked her to take such an action? None other than FilmDistrict's critical and fanboy darling, Drive. Sarah Deming has filed a lawsuit — which will soon be a class action lawsuit, apparently — against FilmDistrict and the theater she viewed the film at, Emagine Novi. To her great disappointment, the movie wasn't Fast and Furious enough.
Culture Warrior: September to Remember
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 27, 2011 | Comments (1)The month of September is typically regarded as one of the least exciting and least eventful in the calendar year. It's something of an interval month, a strange in-between phase sandwiched in the middle of summer Hollywood blockbusters and the "quality" flicks and holiday programming of the fall. In strictly monetary terms, it's the most underperforming month of the year, and has even been beaten by the desolate burial ground that is January in terms of event-style opening weekends. But this may ultimately be a good thing. In fact, if future Septembers continue to exhibit the same patterns as this month, the time of the year in which schools go back in session and you can no longer wear all-white may prove to be one of the most interesting and exciting months on the wide-release calendar.

GS News - Respawn Responds! + Sim City Finally Has Real Single Player?
Today we hear back from Respawn Entertainment about 6v6 multiplayer concerns and how Sim City will finally be offline. Also Sony and Microsoft sound off about hardware in the present and future.
Is that the Gamespot library you're in or did you go to a local Gamestop to film this? That is a lot of games.
I plan to buy a Vita, but I am working on upgrading my PC, also getting a PS4 comes before it. So eventually... I'd be mostly depending on PS+ for Vita games though.
PS. Chris is a cool guy :)
If more players didn't mean more fun MMOs would have never been created. However, for shooters I think beyond 32 players there's really no change except in tactics.
Please we want Chris watters full time
also i am planning to get a vita soon once they have more exclusive games
Hey Chris, nice to see you doing the news again :)
Actually, I have 3 Vitas; an original black vita, Assassins Creed Liberation III White Vita and I recently bought the Tearaway bundle which comes with a download code for Tearaway, Little Big Planet Vita and a 16GB memory card. I also bought a physical copy of Tearaway separately which came with the Jukebox DLC pack and a Tearaway Sackboy Keyring :)
When are they going to take Diablo 3 Offline! Just let me play sp without all the hoops to jump through. Please!
I play my Vita a few times a week, same as 3DS. I keep them in my work bag and play during lunch or, if i'm out with the missus shopping, while waiting in the car or even on those comfortable couches outside of the Kohls dressing rooms. The Vita covers the console quality games as well as the indie stuff while 3DS obviously allows me to play Nintendo's mostly excellent selection of games.
I know it is a bit unrelated, but I'd like to know what you think:
So basically, I pre-ordered my PS4 from Amazon UK - I say pre-order because it is out of stock world-wide, including the UK and US Amazons.
At the moment, it is late - no PS4s arrived to stock - (they were suppose to arrive 2-3 days ago) - so I have time to cancel my order if I wish to:
Here is the thing - I bought mine for 385 GBP + 25 shipment + 107 import fees handling. BUT because I receive a 16% discount from Amazon UK - the price was 330 GBP more or less and the total amount I paid was 435 GBP. Is that reasonable? worth the price?
Also I am really worried that new versions of PS4 will come out just around the corner: such as PS4a with better reliability and less broken-console chance or a PS4 Super-Awesome-Slimmy version. Or better cooling version... or double performance version lol...
I'll get Vita at some point, I just hope can get my hands on one with OLED screen. I'm used to it on my phone, anything below that sucks (3ds screen is crap).
I have a Vita and love it. I do kind of wish there were a few more games out for it but it isn't half bad for me at the moment since I don't play it as often as someone else might. I tend to play it in large stints. Normally over the summer when I've not got anything better to do. Final Fantasy I - X will keep me going for a hell of a long time yet.
Hey @Chris_Watters! Great job!
I was wondering how many games there are in the collection there behind you. Does Gamespot have a count for the number of games they just have on hand? FUN FACTS :D
One day, the GS staff in SF will stop talking about Spelunky. It's gonna happen, I know it. .... It's gotta happen, I know it.
Of course if the game is designed well for 12 players then it should play well, but that doesn't mean it will be play the way people want or expected. Playing against only human opponents is probably what a lot of people like about multiplayer gaming. Having less humans and padded with AI is a different experience no matter how well they designed the game for it.
Having only 12 players doesn't automatically make the game bad, but it does "automatically" make it different, and so for those who were not expecting that, it's a legitimate gripe. It's easy to say well you can't complain till you play it, but then you could say that about any game or any major change, right? People will have to pay for this game :).
Vita, I might get one if it goes down to say $100 or so, but admittedly it would just be another of my pointless purchases. I almost never go anywhere outside my home where I want or need to play games. Sure there's the occasional waiting thing, doctor's office, some appointment, but those are better suited to simple mobile games I can play on my phone, which I rarely do anyway. If I got a Vita I would probably just mess with the interaction between it and the PS4, maybe someone will come up with some cool second screen functionality specifically for it.
Kinda hard to make news of a day that has yet to be, at least for some parts of the world. And GameSpot is american, so would make sense to use american time
Smartphones and tablets are good for short and simple games like Angry Birds, but they cannot replace handheld consoles for more serious games. Playing shooters and action games with a touchscreen is a nightmare. I'm actually buying Vita this week :)
Chris should appear on camera more often, he's a great host.
@GunEye i'm an xbox guy but this is what I would say anyways
I don't know the exchange rate, but if its anything like it was when I went to London years ago then 400 GBP is close to 700USD, and that's outrageous here in the states but there I don't know, inflation, exchange, import, etc.
second, worth the price, that's up to you. if your happy to pay that and your happy when you get it. its worth the price. people think 500 USD for the Xbox one is crazy. But I couldn't be happier with my XBO so I don't care what they say.
third, Sony isn't Apple, there wont be a PS4s, or PS4a, or PS5 next year. give it 4-5 years and then they will maybe show a smaller version.
@ivanrdz005 Pfft! Jess's caustic humor is top shelf. Not that Chris is bad. But replace Jess? You're talking crazytalk.
@ivanrdz005 Yes it's way easier to listen him, but I rather look Jess instead. What about Jess on camera and Chris doing VO. Too expensive? I don't care either way, just give me teh news.
@Avemaster94 Thanks! As for the number, jeez, I don't think we have a solid count. Those rows are all Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube games, so I'd say easily in the thousands.
@Avemaster94 @Chris_Watters That'd be fun to know, I bet it's more than I have >_>
@Afinati They did eventually stop talking about Vanquish. So I guess anything is possible...
@AfinatiChanting a mantra won't make it so... chanting a mantra won't make it so... : )
@hystavito I say we reserve judgment until the game is out, as this GS News suggests the dev will be open to change afterwards.
That's a shame, games like Persona 4, Little Big Planet Vita and Tearaway proove the long term potential of the platform.
@Zombie97 Yeah he's good on camera, he's one of their main people for any kind of hosting, as others have pointed out.
@Zombie97 Handheld consoles are stuck between smartphones/tablets and PC/consoles and it's starting to feel like there's too much of a crowd of devices.
With more powerful tablets coming out, I see less and less justification to buy a handheld console -- while gaming might not be as strong, tablets are more versatile.
Besides that, when I think of a handheld game, I think about playing it to waste time in situations like waiting for a plane at the airport -- not exactly looking for serious gaming, so a smartphone/tablet works just fine.
If I'm at home, I'm playing my PC or xbox.
I know, a handheld game won game of the year here, but one game is not enough to make me go out and buy a handheld console.
I'm not saying you're wrong to buy a handheld console. I'm just stating that I am an example of why Sony is concerned about tablets affecting Vita sales.
@mcmflyguy@GunEye thanks for the reply dude. So according to google: 453 GBP (the price I paid) is 745 $.
So yeah, it's a lot. But I am in Israel, and in fact it is slightly lower than what I would get here - one day, when it arrives to this place lol.
Also I have pre-ordered the Killzone Bundle. So 453 GBP including Killzone Shadowfall. So that's a small plus.
yeah... 107 import fee deposit is crazy (basically Amazon paying for all VAT+customs import fees when it arrive to Israel). I actually think that 107 is slightly lower that it should be, which is about 30%. YEs we pay about 30% extra for order goods. And the price in Israel for hardware usually multiplies sevenfold or tenfold in the end. so it isn't a shock if a PS4 costs 800 $ or 1000$ for an XB1
@LJNkickstarter @andres_ak47 Especially for Silent Hill and the tank controls. That game is hard to control with an actual controller.
@kiffard@Zombie97 I see your point, but the only games on smartphones and tablets I find fun are quite simplistic and don't entertain me for too long. You can play a handheld console while waiting for something for a long period of time, travelling or laying in bed and have a console-like experiance, something that smartphones/tablets cannot provide due to their controls and a lack of AAA exclusives.
@Dannystaples14@LJNkickstarter@andres_ak47is not a problem. it's hard for some GBA games.
Couldn't edit before time ran out.
Let me simplify this. If I like Isometric battle structured RPGs. Will this be worth the buy?
@Chris_Watters@Zombie97@pongley@Sidburn19If you are still around and if you have been able to demo The Banner Saga. Would you be so kind as to share your opinion on the game? I'm looking to grab it off steam and I've heard (and have seen) great things about the artwork but I'm looking for more of an outlook on how well the game plays.
@Zombie97 @pongley @Sidburn19 Have a look at the Steam Early Access Week feature this week. I'm all over that thing!
@pongley@Zombie97@Sidburn19 Strange, I haven't noticed him in too many videos lately, it's probably because I mostly watch the UK and AU shows, and sometimes miss a couple of shows from the US office and unscheduled stuff.
@Zombie97@Sidburn19 He hosts most of the American content except for specific events like CES.

Those who can bear to visit the Red Wedding again can check out "Game of Thrones: The Politics of Power," a one-hour recap of an action-packed third season. You'll have to wait a few more weeks for fresh blood as Season 4 gets underway on April 6. 7:30 p.m. HBO.
Life with father
Atlanta, home to some of our wackier reality stars, gets some new players in "Chrisley Knows Best," featuring a self-made multimillionaire who has a brash and outspoken way of raising his five children. The last TV person who claims he knew best was Hulk Hogan — and we all know how well that turned out. 9 p.m. USA
Looking for adventure
A new season of "Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan" finds our host napping with a giant python and encountering a venomous spider, neither of which sounds as harrowing as surviving a mob at Comic-Con during the height of Monaghan's run on "Lost." 9 p.m. BBC America.

Public Meeting on State Street Garage Construction
State Street Expansion Blog
December 10, 2012
- A public meeting regarding the State Street Garage construction will be held on Thursday, Dec. 13 at 5 p.m. at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St.
City of Knoxville officials and construction managers with the State Street Garage expansion project will provide updates on the ongoing construction.
This will include projected schedules for lane and road closures around the garage, and expected limitations on parking availability in the garage during construction.
Please note that Union Avenue between State and Central streets will be narrowed to one lane beginning today, and the Union Avenue entrance to the garage as well as the entire bottom level of parking will be closed for approximately one week.
The State Street Garage expansion is a $6.1 million project that will add 250 new spaces to the garage's existing 842 spaces.
It will also add an elevated walkway across State Street to connect to Gay Street, replacing the existing escalator.
For more information and regular updates, please see the project blog at

UPDATE: I'm not doing science here, the word "hacking" is deliberate. Also, know the facts about FMT. There's a lot of risk. At the very minimum, ensure that the donor material is properly screened.
Today is an exciting day. I received my first set of results from uBiome, and I launched this blog! The blog is a journal of my investigations into my microbiome.
What's the microbiome? Well, it turns out that the human body contains ten times more microbial cells than human cells (1), most of which reside in the gut. The bacterial composition of the human gut may have an impact on things like obesity and various chronic illnesses.
In this post I'll briefly cover my motivation and then share a few interesting findings in my first set of test results.
Why I care about my microbiome
I have moderate psoriasis on my arms and legs. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and recent research suggests that gut flora may impact autoimmunity (2). My psoriasis developed after I underwent several heavy doses of antibiotics. I suspect that the antibiotics changed my gut biome, and may have caused or accelerated my psoriasis.
I decided to run some tests and experiments on my body to see if there's any merit to my suspicion, and to see if by modding my microbiome I can affect my psoriasis.
The procedure
Last December I learned about uBiome and the possibility of sequencing my gut biome. Around the same time I learned about recent research into fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) (3). I realized that I could alter my gut biome via FMT and measure the affects with uBiome.
I took an initial gut sample and mailed it to uBiome. I then performed an at-home FMT, with a close friend acting as the donor. A few weeks later I sent in another sample, and so did the donor. Since then we've been anxiously waiting for our results from uBiome.
I'm hoping that I'll learn a few things:
- Is my gut biome normal?
- Can I change my gut biome, and how drastically?
- If I change it, will I notice a difference? Will it improve my psoriasis, or other aspects of my life?
uBiome results for my first two samples
After a long wait, I received my first set of results this morning. I haven't have time to dig into the details, but wanted to document my initial reaction. I'll follow up with more info as I investigate further.
Note that the data is from uBiome's beta service. I'm pretty excited to have early access.
Here are the overview graphs of my microbiome, before FMT:
… and after FMT:
The post FMT sample shows more Bacteroidetes, fewer Firmicutes, and a minor reduction/rearrangement of the next few phyla.
Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes are the most common bacteria in humans, and may play a role in obesity. Generally, a higher ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes is associated with higher obesity (4, 5). In my case the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes dropped.
Here's a graph prior to the FMT showing my Firmicute and Bacteroidete proportions. The green bar represents the range of normal values, and the white mark is my sample. You can see that the Firmicute proportion was on the high end of normal, and Bacteroidete was near the low end.
After the FMT, both had moved closer to center.
Wrap up for now
The big question is, was I able to affect my microbiome with an FMT? It wouldn't be surprising if that were the case, but it will require a more controlled experiment to determine. However it's remarkable that there are low-cost tools becoming available for this kind of at-home exploration.
There's a lot more to unpack from the results. I haven't begun to look at the diversity of my initial sample, or searched for irregularities. In addition, the donor's sample hasn't been sequenced yet. I'm very excited to see how it compares to mine.
In the next few weeks I plan to run another test to see if my gut has continued to change, or is holding steady. I'm looking forward to learning more, and sharing it here. Thanks for reading!

Now we're getting to the good stuff. Last week, we helped your insomnia by recapping the juice man's juiceless juice and incomprehensible cross-ideological splits -- not the sort of stuff that anyone but SCOTUS diehards can sit through without being rendered unconscious through boredom.
Fortunately, Monday has arrived, and with it, a questionable gun straw-purchaser holding, an opinion that will allow Ohio's terrible political speech restriction to be challenged, and maybe, just maybe, the collapse of a nation's economy thanks to SCOTUS and Wall Street vultures creditors.

Kubuntu 11.04 freezes
As others have reported, I'm having freezes on Kubuntu 11.04. This is a new install, and I'm using the nvidia 270.41.06 driver (from the ubuntu/kubuntu repos). Resizing the konsole (terminal) causes the screen to freeze. After turning off Desktop effects, the freezes stop. Googling this issue, I see that some are advising a newer driver directly from the nvidia site.
Two questions: 1) will this work, and if so what is the updated driver number? 2) When will a fixed driver get into the ubuntu repos? I'm one of those cats who really doesn't like to go outside the repos -- especially when the drivers must show up there eventually. thx, feffer777 |
Re: Kubuntu 11.04 freezes
I'm running debian testing with KDE 4.6.3 and NVIDIA 270.41.19 at my old ASUS laptop with GeForce 7300 GO. When I turn on visual effects in KDE the next message appears in .xsession-errors log:
link XMLID_36_ hasn't been detected! Couldn't find node desktop-northeast. Skipping rendering Effects doesn't turn on. Sometimes my desktop freezes as You've described. The same issue was when I tried to use compiz instead of kwin. But everything worked fine with NVIDIA 260 series drivers. At the same time visual effects work great at my desktop computer with NVIDIA GTS250 GPU and 270.41.19 driver version. |
Re: Kubuntu 11.04 freezes
Use the latest beta: 275.09.04.
From the changelog: Quote:
Re: Kubuntu 11.04 freezes
Any idea when a fixed driver like 275.09.04 will get into the repos?
Re: Kubuntu 11.04 freezes
I have just installed the latest stable driver ver. 275.09.07. Nothing has changed. Kwin effects doesn't work. xsession-errors.log contains the same error:
link XMLID_36_ hasn't been detected! Couldn't find node desktop-northeast. Skipping rendering |

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function. Algorithms are used for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. In simple words an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, will proceed through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Algotithm)

The Will Davidson for Russh #34 photoshoot is so hot, it hurts. Seriously, this guy is making photographs that will make women (and like-minded men) swoon for Tony Ward, the leading man.
Basically imitating the Harlequin romance novel covers that feature a strapping man holding a barely clothed woman tight, Will Davidson for Russh #34 does the genre proud. But these photos are so much hotter, because the people in them are real—and really, really pretty.

Telecommunications, financial services, insurance and healthcare providers are all industries where companies establish a recurring customer relationship with a monthly statement or bill delivery. However, bill shock and product complexity of statements can lead to excessive support costs, churn, and higher barriers to expanding customer relationships. Proactively addressing the complexity of billing and statement administration with personalized SmartVideo is proving to address these challenges.

Just a few short years ago, online video was simply a form of brand awareness and expression – a promotional video or TV commercial repurposed for the Web. Today, it has evolved into a medium specifically intended for the interactive Web user experience.

Where Do Customer Loyalty and Recommendations Come From?
Posted by Robert Coverdale on Wed, Jul 18, 2012
"You gotta try this!" … It's a phrase that draws you in. There's excitement, satisfaction and wonder behind it. For brands it is the ultimate compliment – a word of mouth recommendation. A verbal Like button, it is a sign of success and the underlying component to NPS (net promoter score) aka "the ultimate customer satisfaction question."

Insights from the Forrester Customer Experience Forum 2012
Posted by James Dicso on Fri, Jun 29, 2012
I just returned from two days at the Forrester Customer Experience Forum where leading industry speakers shared thought-provoking ideas and powerful content. Simply put, this event helped solidify my view of the future where the customer is at the center of competitive strategy for the leaders in every industry. In fact, Harley Manning of Forrester shared a graph that compared 5-year total return of customer experience leaders (up 22%) to customer experience laggards (down 46%) to the S&P 500 (down 1%). Clearly, companies adopting a customer-centric strategy are already proving that we are in the "Age of the Customer."

Big room with all the necessary amenities.
Room was ugly especially the color, everything was just randomly placed in the room with no rhyme or reason and there was previous drill holes in the walls where the light fixtures had been moved from as well as scrape marks on the walls from shifting furniture.
Nice clean pool area with large windows to view outside. Pool was about 1/4 size larger than pools at most budget motels.
Rooms are no frills, but I enjoyed a good night sleep.
The bedding Nice breakfastQuiet
No warm lights in bathroom
The hot breakfast was great! French toast one day, omelettes the next. Hot tub/pool area were nice
Seems like a great place to stay. Plenty to do in the hotel
When I checked in, the room was already used. I had to go and get another room.
Loved the location. Great access to hiking and fall colors. Close to restaurants.
I really like the proximity to Granite Peak and they have a great outdoor hot tub.
The hotel had a great pool area for families. There is a small zero depth pool with a couple of fun slides for the younger ones and then they had beach balls and other things to play with in the larger pool. The staff was excellent as well!
Very good breakfast buffet, clean rooms, helpful staff.
All good.
The hotel was clean and updated. Room was comfortable.
Fire alarm went off as we were getting ready to leave.
The room was very nice. Staff very welcoming. Very nice breakfast.
The location, attached restaurant.
ice macine was too loud
Basic but clean accommodations, free breakfast and close proximity made it easy to hit the slopes at granite peak early. Also close enough to get to downtown restaurants. Plus La Quinta is always dog friendly so we could bring the pooch along as well.
wonderful, boutique style hotel, right in the heart of downtown Wausua just minutes to great skiing. I think it is still on the spendy side of the chart for the Midwest. Rooms really need more outlets!!
cleaning lady standing outside of pool area smoking a cigarette and smelling it in the pool area. :(
The room was nice.
They only had 1 elevator and had to wait multiple times.
Great room on the ground floor with access to the patio. The Green Mile restraint has one of the best pizza's I have ever had....in Wisconsin!
Great hotel, friendly staff, great food and drinks at the bar.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

The enticing 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, with a saturated dark purple color, offers up attractive, youthful aromas of lead pencil, vanillin, minerals, spice, and blackcurrant fruit. A typical mountain Cabernet with copious quantities of tannin, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, impressively-endowed wine is well-crafted, yet backward and in need of 4-5 years of cellaring. Patience will be a virtue.
Drink Dates: 2002-2012Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Remarkably elegant and understated for a Howell Mountain Cabernet, this succeeds with harmony and finesse. Displays layers of currant, anise, cedar, sage and spice, finishes with a mineral edge and dry tannins.

Posted: August 9, 2012
Texas Music Scholar Teaches for UEX
Dr. Jason Mellard grew up listening to artists like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. He took a detour into rock during his adolescence, but eventually came home again to study the cultural impact of his first love: Texas music.
Today, Dr. Mellard teaches courses on Texas music for University Extension (UEX), the UT Odyssey program and Texas State University.
Registration is now open for Dr. Mellard's Fall 2012 UEX course AMS 321 - Cosmic Cowboys, Armadillos, and Outlaws: Austin Music History, which begins meeting the week of September 4.
In this video interview, filmed when he was just beginning to teach for UT Odyssey, Dr. Mellard discusses how Texas music influenced him.
