When you are going to monitor your engine, you probably try first to find some tool that can do it. Very likely, of course, that tool should be able to handle monitoring online and to notify you when the health of your engine is starting to go bad. There are already several well-known and widespread online monitoring tools available for many systems. Super! But what if I try to find a suitable tool for my specific application and… ohh, failure – I cannot find what I need. Unfortunately, it's also very likely that no one can even suggest a suitable tool. What can I do in such a situation? Probably try to do it myself. Who can help me? You've probably already guessed that I am talking about Monitis. You may ask "why Monitis?" Because Monitis suggests Monitis Open API, and that gives you a chance to build any monitoring tool yourself. In line with Monitis slang, such a monitor has been named the custom monitor.
But let's cease the generic talk and get back to my story.
Recently, I had to use RabbitMQ server in one of my projects, and naturally I had a wish to monitor it; just to measure data that I want to monitor. RabbitMQ contains a nice plugin named RabbitMQ Management that in fact provides monitoring of RabbitMQ via any browser (thanks to the embedded WEBUI). Well, it is undoubtedly good, but I don't want to sit whole days next to the monitor waiting for a problem to come in. I want to monitor online, to have the possibility to go back in time by viewing the monitoring history and, why not, to get a notification on my mobile while having a beer in the bar. I think every admin dreams of such a life.
Well, since I use an Ubuntu server I have decided to implement my custom monitor as Bash script to avoid any unnecessary dependencies and to take into account that the Bash script wrapper for Monitis API is already implemented.
First of all I have to install RabbitMQ server. The easiest way to do this is to download the "deb" package from the original RabbitMQ site and install it by using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_2.8.x_all.deb
So far so good. Next step – enabling the RabbitMQ Management HTTP API that allows, in addition, getting necessary information by using REST technology. The management plugin has been included in the RabbitMQ distribution since version 2.8.1. To enable it, use the following command:
sudo rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Please note that for older versions you have to install this plugin separately.
That's all. Now I can use the RabbitMQ server by writing the following command to control RabbitMQ:
sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server {start|stop|status|rotate-logs|restart}
For instance, RabbitMQ server status will be shown as depicted below:
All is okay up to now. Well, after some investigation I have decided to measure the following available metrics:
- osd_pr – The percentage of open socket descriptors RabbitMQ server to the allowed maximum number of open sockets by process.
- ofd_pr – The percentage of open file descriptors RabbitMQ server to the allowed maximum number of open files by process.
- cpu_usage – the percentage of cpu usage by RabbitMQ server.
- mem_usage – the percentage of memory usage by RabbitMQ server.
- msg_in_queue – the number of messages that are still in the queue.
- timeout – queues timeout in seconds.
- pub_rate – Average value of total published messages into queues per second.
- from_client_rate – Total inbound throughput value estimated in Kbytes per second.
- to_client_rate – Total outbound throughput value estimated in Kbytes per second.
- get_rate – Average value of total got messages from queues per second.
- status – the evaluation of health status of RabbitMQ server (OK, IDLE, NOK, FAIL)
The health status of RabbitMQ should be evaluated as 'NOK' when at least one of the following events is detected:
- The percentage of open file descriptors (ofd_pr) exceeds 90%
- The percentage of open socket descriptors (osd_pr) exceeds 90%
- The percentage of used Erlang processes to available Erlang processes exceeds 90%
- The percentage of memory usage (mem_usage) exceeds 95%
- The percentage of cpu usage (cpu_usage) exceeds 95%
- There are messages in the queue (msg_in_queue > 0)
The health status 'FAIL' should be generated when RabbitMQ server is unavailable for some reason and the health status 'IDLE' should be generated when RabbitMQ server isn't receiving any messages from clients.
It seems that is all I want for now. Okay, I developed quite quickly such a Bash Script for monitoring and got the following set of files:
monitis_api.sh Monitis API wrapper implementation monitis_util.sh Utilities function set monitis_global.sh Monitis API wrapper global variables monitis_constant.sh Monitis API constants rabbitmq_monitor.sh RabbitMQ custom monitor implementation monitor_constant.sh RabbitMQ monitor constants rmqmon_start.sh Main executable script ticktick.sh Bash JSON parser
Note that I have really developed only the "rabbitmq_monitor.sh" script. The other scripts were simply adapted. Please also notice that I have to use the third party open source JSON parser (to allow processing JSON in bash script) because RabbitMQ Management HTTP API responses are in the JSON form.
Well, now it's time for testing.
I have prepared two clients on JavaScript (Node.js) and Java for connecting to RabbitMQ. In addition, the load simulator was prepared in a way that is intended to generate quite a big load for processing.
So, I have run the monitor and simulator and after some time opened my dashboard in Monitis. The tests showed nice results which I saw in the Monitis dashboard:
Beside this, double-clicking on any line leads to an alternate view which shows additional data about the RabbitMQ state at that moment.
Eventually, you can also see a graphical representation of your data:
I built a rule for notification by using Monitis dashboard features and, satisfied, went to rest.
Perfect, let me summarize. I have obtained in a very short time the desired tool and moreover it can send me a notification any time of day about any troubling situation in my RabbitMQ engine.
Finally, I have uploaded the monitor I created into GitHub where you can find more details about it.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 3, 2015 11:15 PM EST Reads: 748 |

The Sarasota County Commission is scheduled to hear a presentation Feb. 21 regarding proposals for improving crosswalk lighting in the Village.
Peter van Roekens, vice president of the Siesta Key Association and a representative of the Terrace East condominium complex in the Village, said county staff was working on options, along with the cost for each, to make the crosswalks more visible to motorists on Ocean Boulevard.
The lighting is poor in certain places, van Roekens told members of the Siesta Key Association during their Feb. 7 meeting.
Van Roekens and Siesta Key Village Association President Russell Matthes were among representatives from the Key who met in late January with county staff to discuss the situation.
Matthes said during the SKVA meeting that he had sent photos of crosswalks to those staff members, so they could see the problem. The reflective paint on the crosswalks is deteriorating throughout the Village, Matthes said.
During an SKA discussion of the matter Feb. 2, Sarasota County Commissioner Nora Patterson, who lives on the Key, suggested that LED lighting "is really what we should be trying to switch to (in the Village)."
Van Roekens agreed that that was a potential remedy.
In an email exchange the SKA provided to the Pelican Press, van Roekens did communicate with a representative of a Boca Raton company that sells one type of LED system recommended by a Pelican Press reader. That reader had read the Jan. 5 article regarding the initial SKVA discussion of the crosswalk problem.
However, after getting the specs for that system, van Roekens notified county staff that he felt the cost was too high and the lighting would not be sufficient.

Photos from the Facebook pages of Christopher Dorner. LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck Thursday detailed the double homicide and killing of a Riverside police officer allegedly committed by fired LAPD officer Christopher Dorner. During a 20-minute press conference at LAPD Headquarters Beck said Dorner is believed to have killed Cal State Fullerton assistant basketball coach Monica Quan and her finance in Irvine Sunday, and ambushed two Riverside officers, killing one, this morning. He is also believed to have fired on LAPD officers in Corona who were on a protection detail of one of the targets named in Dorner's manifesto. Beck said Dorner is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Bruce: The scepter has to be somewhere.
Tony: S.H.I.E.L.D must have at it.
Bruce: Of course! When they did the clean-up they must have grabbed the scepter in the process. It just makes sense.

I Tokyo Troubles AwayOne day in Tokyo Japan, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were on their way to visit Banzai's cousin who lived there.I Tokyo Troubles Away by s233220
"Banzai. How much further until we get to your cousin's place? It's getting to sunny over here". Shenzi asked, moaning. "We're almost there". Banzai replied with a look of concern on his face. "By the way, there's something you need to know about my cousin, Hanako."
"Wait! Let me guess. There's something wrong with your cousin isn't there? It's either she thinks she can fly or she's addicted to J-Pop music."
"No. There's nothing wrong with her. It's just that the last time we visited one of my relatives-"
"Not the Uncle Steve thing again! After all, he did say he liked burger steaks. It was just a fact I was pointing out." Shenzi interrupted. Ed, who was listening to their conversation, remembered the memory and laughed. Banzai, in response, sighed heavily. "Just promise me you'll be nice." he pleaded.

Walt's Princess: Chapter TwentyA ghost accompanied Retlaw for his master's comfort after the scene between him and Mickey. Worrying so much about the little mouse's health has brought him deeper in despair. The only bright side of it was that he finally got to show someone other than Yen Sid his true identity and it certainly made him felt slightly lighter. The ghost brought Retlaw back his mask and tied it around his head. Underneath the mask, as strange as it sounds, he smiled. But why, one could ask. He just sent away the most iconic character in the history of icons along with the friend who always stood by him whether or not he wore the mask. Something crazy was going on in his mind he almost laughed. He stood up and approached the mirror before him.Walt's Princess: Chapter Twenty by WishExpedition23

Am I alone, or did the Philly/NYR rivalry seem a bit talked up by these guys? I'm probably just misinformed, but aside from being divisional opponents, do these guys really have that storied of a history? I always thought the Rangers had the Islanders and the Flyers had the Pens.

I saw nothing wrong with Milbury's remarks.

I should have been clear the first time. I'm wasn't reacting to that part of the interview. It just seemed at the beginning of the broadcast like they were really trying to sell the rivalry idea.

Syria crisis: Meeting of the 'London 11' fails to deliver hope of breakthrough
Saudis withdraw co-operation from the West and opposition warns there are no guarantees it will turn up for talks
Diplomatic Correspondent
Tuesday 22 October 2013
A key meeting in London that was supposed to pave the way for peace to break out in Syria ended with one of the main backers of the rebels, the Saudis, declaring it will withdraw cooperation with the West and the main opposition group warning there are no guarantees it will turn up for projected talks with Bashar al-Assad's regime.
John Kerry, the US secretary of state, and William Hague, the British foreign secretary, made strenuous pleas to the opposition to turn up to the summit planned in Geneva next month which is also being backed by Russia. But there appeared to be doubts among its leaders that they will be able to get enough votes to do so at a forthcoming conference of their coalition of disparate groups.
The proceedings in London took place in the shadow of a furious missive from Saudi Arabia charging the Obama administration of failing the rebels and criticising its attempted rapprochement with Iran, a bitter regional rival, as well as the stance over the Arab Spring and Palestine.
Confusion, meanwhile, surrounded the position of the Syrian opposition which attended today's London talks. They had not set a pre-condition of Bashar al-Assad's removal from power to attend the Geneva meeting, both Mr Kerry and Mr Hague assured a press conference this afternoon.
But the president of the opposition coalition, Ahmed Jarba, taking the podium immediately afterwards, was adamant: "The Sultan must leave. Geneva cannot succeed and we cannot take part if it allows Assad to gain more time to spill the blood of our people while the world looks on. We shall be traitors to our people if we let this happen."
Some of the journalists in the room who had not heard the full sentence thought that Mr Jarba was demanding that Prince Bandar Bin Sultan should resign. This was clarified, but there was further confusion when he later seemed to say that the opposition will be going to Geneva after all even if President Assad remains in power.
The issue will be decided by a vote during a conference of the coalition in Istanbul early next month; opposition officials were of the view that there was no certainty that the majority would support attending Geneva. One of them, Salim al-Meslet, said : " We have asked the ministers [of states attending the London talks] to give us something to take to the vote, try to get food and medicine through to those suffering, get the Russians to get Assad free women and children in jail, that will help on Geneva."
However a communique was issued jointly by the Syrian and 11 countries supporting them setting out the broad basis for political transition. Mr Hague acknowledged that the Geneva process faced "immense difficulties", but warned that unless moderate forces were supported, the country would be left at the mercy of either Assad or extremist jihadists who have latched onto the conflict. "The alternative is a protracted conflict in which neither side will be able to achieve a military victory over the other."
Speaking about Saudi anger, the British foreign secretary pointed out that the country's foreign minister, Prince Saudi al-Faisal, had signed the joint communique and had, indeed, sat next to Mr Kerry at lunch.
Mr Kerry said the Saudis were "obviously disappointed" that the threatened military strike on the regime by the US after the use of chemical weapons at Ghouta did not take place. He added that President Obama had asked to him to hold talk to Saudi officials, which he described as "very, very constructive and I am convinced we are on the same page as we are proceeding forward."

Sidewinder a side winner! Martha from Oklahoma City, OK– Verified Buyer I have been unable to find this in the stores and was thrilled when I saw this online! It was easy to install and attach the hose. It works even better than the old one it replaced. I love the handle on this one better, too. In fact, I bought two of them so that I could also replace the other hose reel that stands on the ground. |
Nice, good quality Carrie from NC– Verified Buyer We had one of these on the house when we purchased it 11 yrs. ago and just now having to replace it. Makes reeling up the hose so much easier and you can mount it sideways as shown or forward facing like we did. |
Works great. Mike from WORCESTER, MA– Verified Buyer Works good. Good price and reasonable shipping time. Just what I wanted. |
Purchaser Patricia from Groton, CT– Verified Buyer Identical to one it replaced. So far holding up to the heavy uise it gets. |
Perfect! Courtney from Traverse City, MI– Verified Buyer Love these! I have noodle arms and it requires no strength to roll the hose in! |
Useful and practical Vanessa from La Canada, CA– Verified Buyer This is just what you want when you don't want your hose all over the place. My husband attached it to the side of the house in about 15 minutes. |
Works good Christina from McKinney, TX– Verified Buyer Mounted to the side of the house in brick. Rolls up the hose and keeps it out of the way. It is made of plastic, so won't be as sturdy as a metal one, but it gets the job done and looks nice. |
Hose reel Billy from Santa Clarita, CA– Verified Buyer Just what I was looking for. Small reel stays close to the house, looks and works great. |
Love it! Pam from DE– Verified Buyer I'm very happy with this, it is sturdy and, works great, |

Multi-Talented Ryan Gosling Is Handy in the Kitchen Too
Like us on Facebook
Ryan Gosling looked like he was playing with some possible Halloween aftermath, out to lunch with a friend and a ventriloquist dummy on Saturday. It's actually not a completely surprising accessory to see with the quirky actor whose most recent movie had him falling in love with a life sized doll. Another out of the ordinary activity for Ryan this week — he teamed up with his sister to cook at Jacqui Getty's dinner party to welcome designer Andrew Gn including guests like Rachel Zoe and Kirsten Dunst. Along with everything else, Ryan's a chef too? Swoon.

Five reasons to be fearful for Chelsea hopes
As Manchester City learnt, Naples is no walk in the park, says Jack Pitt-Brooke
The atmosphere
Despite Stadio San Paolo being basically a cavernous concrete bowl, the atmosphere at Napoli games is ferocious. The ground will be full by mid-afternoon today, as the fans flood into Curva A and Curva B. Even given the presence of both a running track and, bizarrely, a moat between the pitch and the stands, the roar of the fans should Napoli score will be unlike anything the Chelsea players have heard before.
Even more intimidating, though, will be the whistling if Chelsea have the ball towards the end of the game. The intensity of the noise in the final stage of Manchester City's 2-1 defeat last November was remarkable, seeming almost to repel City's late attacks by its sheer hostility.
The defensive wall
That protection from the crowd is almost unnecessary now, though, because of the quality of Napoli's defence. Unlike most teams that Chelsea face, Napoli play with three centre-backs: usually Hugo Campagnaro, Salvatore Aronica and captain Paolo Cannavaro. If Campagnaro does not recover from a calf injury then Gianluca Grava will play instead. Any combination of three would be exceptionally well organised and disciplined, as well as being comfortable in possession.
It means that when wing-backs Christian Maggio and Juan Zuniga drop back to help, Napoli have a deep line of five defenders which is nearly impenetrable. Twice they frustrated City with it, and Chelsea will sweat to break through it tonight.
The transition to attack
Napoli are probably Europe's fastest counter-attacking side since Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United. When they win the ball back, wing-backs Maggio and Zuniga step up, turning their watertight 5-3-2 into a relentless 3-4-3. Like all good sides, they defend as a team and attack as a team. And once their famous front three, the il Tridente of Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani have the ball, they can tear through teams. It is not just that the three are all fast, incisive, imaginative footballers, but that they know each other's game so well that one meets the runs and passes of the others as if by telepathy. Chelsea's defenders can expect a difficult evening.
Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan spearhead of Napoli's attack is a remarkable mixture of physical and technical gifts. Cavani even gives the impression of a thoroughbred racehorse, with his galloping legs and long mane of dark hair, and would certainly beat every Chelsea defender in a foot race. But he also has teasing movement, ruthless finishing and a perfect first touch to call upon. He scored all three of Napoli's goals against Manchester City in the group stage and has 55 in 77 for Napoli since he joined from Palermo in the summer of 2010.
Marek Hamsik and Ezequiel Lavezzi
Cavani would not be the same without the support of the Slovakian Hamsik and the Argentine Lavezzi, though. Hamsik is a bright runner, who acts as a link between the midfield and the two South American forwards, and chooses his moments perfectly when breaking into the box.
Lavezzi is arguably the finest player of the three. He is a scampering tattooed trickster, combining the waspish energy of his compatriot Carlos Tevez with the imaginative and delightful skill of Juan Roman Riquelme.
He is quicker than he looks, able to burst past defenders from a standing start, and has very well-tuned antennae for seeking out space and danger. He plays just off Cavani, knowing that defenders will soon worry about him and leave his team-mates unguarded.

As reported by TV Guide:
Warner Bros. TV is mulling a new take on Full House, with some of the original cast intact…Leading the charge is John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) — who has an ownership stake in the show, which gives him good reason to champion the new series. Original executive producer Bob Boyett and creator Jeff Franklin (who's writing the new version) are actively involved. Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy) are on board, while Bob Saget (Danny) and Dave Coulier (Joey) are also involved in some way.

Americans are warned to avoid travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone over Ebola fears as infected doctor arrives in Atlanta
- Advice was a Level 3 travel warning, the strongest that can be issued
- Fear that outbreak that has killed 700 people could spread in U.S.
- Expert said Ebola was 'not going to be a huge risk in the U.S.'
- UK border staff have been trained to recognise symptoms of virus
- Emirates has suspended flights to Guinea over Ebola fears
As the Ebola outbreak worsens in West Africa, America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned U.S. travellers to avoid non-essential trips to Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
The advice was a Level 3 travel warning, which is the strongest that can be issued.
It comes as the first Ebola victim to be brought to the United States from Africa arrived in the country yesterday.
An ambulance arrives with Ebola victim Dr Kent Brantly, pictured right, to Emory University Hospital, in Atlanta
Dr Kent Brantly working at an Ebola treatment clinic in Foya, Liberia. Brantly and Nancy Writebol contracted the disease while working there. He arrived back in the U.S. on Saturday for treatment
Along with advising passengers not to travel to affected countries, CDC
said it was assisting with active screening and education efforts in
West Africa to prevent infected travellers from boarding planes.
If an infected passenger does make it on to the flight, CDC said it had protocols in place to protect against further spread of the disease, including monitoring suspected infections during a 21-day 'fever watch' and then isolating anyone who develops the disease in quarantine.
CDC Director Tom Frieden said: 'This is the biggest and most complex Ebola outbreak in history. Far too many lives have been lost already.
'It will take many months, and it won't be easy, but Ebola can be stopped. We know what needs to be done.
'CDC is surging our response, sending 50 additional disease control experts to the region in the next 30 days.'
Landed: An airplane carrying American doctor Kent Brantly who has the Ebola virus, arrives at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, on August 2, 2014
Dr Tom Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control, appeared on CNN today to re-assure the American public that they were not at risk from an Ebola outbreak
Dr. Kent Brantly, a missionary working in Liberia, was identified as the first American to be diagnosed with Ebola, which kills up to 80 per cent of those it infects.
He was safely escorted into a specialized isolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, where doctors said they were confident the deadly virus won't escape.
Nancy Writebol, 60, an educator turned missionary from Charlotte, North Carolina, was the second American to contract the disease in Liberia, and is expected to arrive in Atlanta tomorrow.
Fears that the outbreak in Africa could spread in the U.S. has generated considerable anxiety among some Americans, but infectious disease experts said the public faces zero risk.
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden told The Associated Press that the centre had received "nasty emails" and at least 100 calls from people saying: 'How dare you bring Ebola into the country!?'
'I hope that our understandable fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion when ill Americans return to the U.S. for care,' Dr Frieden said.
He added: 'Ebola is a huge risk in Africa. It's not going to be a huge risk in the U.S.'
The virus, which has gripped both Sierra Leone and Liberia (pictured) has also spread to neighbouring Guinea
Emirates has suspended flights to Conakry after there was an outbreak of Ebola in Guinea
The UK Government has not advised against travel to West Africa but said it was closely monitoring the spread of the virus and was taking "precautionary measures".
It claimed that Ebola was "not an issue that affects the UK directly" and said that the risk of the disease spreading in the UK was low thanks to the work of experienced scientists and doctors at the Royal Free Infectious Disease Unit, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Despite fears over flights still operating into and out of West Africa - often with direct routes to London - the Foreign Office claims Border Staff have been trained to recognise symptoms.
A statement from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) read: 'Border Force has been working closely with Public Health England and other agencies to ensure staff are prepared to deal with the threat of the Ebola virus.
'As part of this planning, guidance has been issued to front line staff on how to identify and safely deal with suspected cases of Ebola that makes clear what steps need to be taken should a passenger arrive at the border unwell.
'If a person is identified at the border as being a potential carrier of Ebola they will be immediately referred by a Border Force officer to a specialist medical care provider and reported to the Public Health England.'
Guinea's capital Conakry will not be serviced by Emirates flights until further notice
British Airways has confirmed it will continue to run its route to Liberia and Sierra Leone
Last week, Emirates announced that it had suspended flights to Guinea over fears of spreading the Ebola virus.
The Dubai-based carrier is the first major international airline to cancel flights due to the epidemic which has taken hold in West Africa.
However, British Airways continues to operate its flight from Liberia to London Heathrow, which also stops at Lungi International Airport in Sierra Leone.
Emirates confirmed the decision to suspend flights to Conakry came after there was an outbreak of the virus in Guinea.
The suspension of the route follows a similar decision by Pan-African airlines Arik and ASKY, which have stopped flying to Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The current
Ebola outbreak is the first documented outbreak in West Africa, and the largest ever recorded since the virus was first
detected in 1976, with more than 1,200 cases so far.
It far exceeds the next largest outbreak, involving 425 cases.
Around 60 per cent of cases so far have been fatal and more than 700 people have died since the start of February.
The first stage of the illness is characterised by fever, headaches, nausea, vomiting, a rash and diarrhea.
The second is haemorrhagic fever in which patients endure difficulty breathing and swallowing and agonising bleeding inside their body.
Blood pours out of their ears and nose and turns their eyes
from white to red. Generally patients who
enter the second stage do not survive.
There is no proven cure for the virus, which kills an estimated 60 per cent to 80 per cent of the people it infects, but American doctors in Africa say the mortality rate would be much lower in a functioning health care system.
They have also been using experimental treatments, including the transfusion of blood that includes antibodies.

TellTale Games set themselves no easy task when they took the Back To The Future franchise on board; such a highly regarded piece of 80's pop-culture needed to be handled with a little finesse. The first two episodes of the series proved they had what it takes, but Citizen Brown excels at creating a true Back To The Future feel.
This episode is heavy on the story which makes it exciting; Marty winds up in an alternate 1986 where Hill Valley is under a communist like control, ruled by first citizen Brown. Doc has become the leader of this Orwellian future where alcohol, dogs and other common place practices are illegal. Unfortunately Marty has destroyed the deLorean and he needs the help of first citizen Brown to fix the time machine, and work out just how to fix the predicament he has wound up in.
Citizen Brown immediately stands out as it uses a new setting (the first two episodes were set in the same time period), some interesting puzzles and most importantly a bright and vivid cast.
Unlike the first two episodes, Citizen Brown uses a cast that are straight from the movies. The audience who are most likely Back To The Future fans can instantly identify with the issues at hand, and actively want to see the results as opposed to meeting totally random people and developing a relationship. It seems to work much better than previous episodes and makes for a great experience.
Once again the voice performances are perfect with some great writing and witty dialogue. Back this up with the impressive TellTale engine and you have one great looking and sounding game in your collection.
The episode clocks in around the three hour mark and is a little harder than previous attempts, but it won't challenge adventure game veterans much at all. It's fun and accessible, but don't expect needing a degree in bio-chemistry to be able to solve the games puzzles.
The Back To The Future series was off to a good start, but Citizen Brown has cemented the series into greatness. Offering an exciting setting with characters we already know and love makes this the best episode yet.
