Hunt the Wumpus
Hunt the Wumpus, by Gregory Yob, was one of the very first ever computer games back in the days of mainframes and punched cards. This version was created by Rod McFarland in Javascript and is based on Yob's original BASIC source. So it's time to relive this bit of early computer game history and play the classic, Hunt the Wumpus.

[adult swim] Harvey Birdman's "Habeas Dorkus"
there is nothing to examine, Imok20. If anything is in an adjacent room, it will tell you without you having to examine.
I feel a draft = pit is nearby
Bats Nearby = self explanatory
I smell a Wumpus = Wumpus nearby.
It will never tell you the exact room these things are in, but that's half the fun.
Finnally smote the thing. One move, one shot, after starting a new game. I have a hard time with the bats; 3 out of 4 times, they put me in the same room as the Wumpus. They are very mean bats; I'm waiting for one to drop me down a pit. Oh, and it does seem they move. I stood still and shot an arrow one turn, then the bats carried me off the next turn without moving myself.
Hi everyone, I'm the creator of this version of the game. I just wanted to clarify for everyone:
Yes the bats move - every turn. The Wumpus moves about 25% of the time, and always moves if you fire an arrow.
Also note that the Wumpus or a bat can get you even if you don't smell/hear them. That's because you may be two rooms away, but if you move to the same room they move to, they'll get ya!
I remember playing this and Hamurabi and some others on a university mainframe at computer camp. There were no monitors, all output was printed on the old green and white paper. Anybody else remember any of the really old games? I can only think of these, but I'm sure there were more.
In the old "Hunt the Wumpus" I used to play in college, the wumpus didn't move unless you fired and missed. That meant the game was marginally less random, and therefore slightly better/more enjoyable.
Nevertheless, this brought back memories of scribbling maps of interconnected caves instead of doing homework...
I like this one:
move 17-I feel a draft. Bats nearby. move 2- Y Y Y Y I I I I E E E E-fell in pit. Game Over. Do you want to play again? (y/n)
If you fall into a pit, then how do you get out and hunt the wumpus?
oh I get it you just say "y" and an elevator pushes up from the floor and takes you back to the surface.
OK, here's a little portion of my most recent game:
Enter a command: Move 8
Zap -- Super bat snatch! Elsewhereville for you!
Zap -- Super bat snatch! Elsewhereville for you!
You are in room 15. I smell a wumpus. Bats nearby. Enter a command: Fire 2.
Missed. You have 4 arrows left. Zap -- Super bat snatch! Elsewhereville for you! Y Y Y Y I I I I E E E E...Fell in pit.
Incredibly fun and hilarious game. Excellent job, Brian Newtz!

Broncos Week In Review: Week 10
Posted By Joan Niesen On November 8, 2013 @ 1:34 pm In Coaches,Cornerbacks,General Broncos,Injuries,John Elway,John Fox,Peyton Manning,Quarterback | No Comments
After skipping last week, which was supposed to be an uneventful bye, this week in review will go all the way back to Nov. 2, when Broncos coach John Fox was hospitalized with a heart problem.
Saturday: Mid-afternoon, news broke that Fox had experienced light-headedness while golfing in Charlotte and was taken to a local hospital. As the evening unfolded, more details became available, first that he was undergoing tests and was hopeful to be released and eventually that he'd have to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery. It also became known that Fox was aware of the condition and had hoped to postpone the necessary procedure until after the season.
• "Broncos coach John Fox to undergo aortic valve replacement surgery" [1] by Mike Klis, The Denver Post
Sunday: More details of Fox's situation began to emerge. His surgery was slated for Monday or Tuesday.
• "Broncos' offense stays one step ahead of opponents' defense" [2] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
• "Broncos coach John Fox's procedure is common, yet serious" [3] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
Monday: Fox had aortic valve replacement surgery early in the morning, and soon after, the Broncos named defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio as their interim coach. Del Rio and John Elway addressed the media after practice, outlining their strategy in Fox's absence – the gist: they don't want much to change – and providing updates on the coach's condition. Later in the day, both the Broncos and Fox's wife, Robin, provided statements about the coach's successful surgery.
• "Broncos name Jack Del Rio interim coach while John Fox recovers" [4] by Mike Klis, The Denver Post
• "Broncos' John Elway discusses stress on NFL coaches" [5] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
• "Kiszla: An act of God for John Fox's health" [6] by Mark Kiszla, The Denver Post
Tuesday: After offensive guard John Moffitt had failed to report to Dove Valley Monday, the Broncos activated center J.D. Walton off the PUP list. Tuesday was the deadline by which they had to either activate Walton or place him on IR, and it would seem that Moffitt's decision made the choice easier. Later in the day, news broke that Moffitt had decided to retire.

• "Statement by wife of Broncos' John Fox reveals toll of coaching in NFL" [9] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
• "Moving On with a Missing Piece" [10] by Andrew Brandt, The MMQB
Wednesday: Things were pretty much ho-hum with the Broncos on Wednesday, as Del Rio continued as interim coach. Peyton Manning spoke for the first time since Fox's surgery, as well, and offered encouraging words about the team's interim coach. Philip Rivers and Mike McCoy also spoke to the Denver media via conference call, and they spoke of Rivers' resurgent year.
• "John Fox absence another hurdle for Broncos" [11] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
• "Chargers' Philip Rivers a different player with different philosophy" [12] by Joan Niesen, The Denver Post
• "John Fox, Gary Kubiak ordeals spotlight grind of NFL coaching" [13] by Brian Billick, NFL.com
Thursday: The talk on Thursday focused on the two players who remained out of the day's practice, Champ Bailey and Duke Ihenacho. Although Ihenacho returned on Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game, Bailey was ruled out. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase also addressed the media, and he addressed both his close relationship with McCoy and how well-timed the team's bye week was in terms of players having time to get healthy.
• "Former interim coaches' advice to Broncos' Jack Del Rio: Be yourself" [14] by Mike Klis, the Denver Post
• "Broncos still have Peyton Manning, which is usually enough to offset absences" [15] by Mike Klis, The Denver Post
Friday: Del Rio announced that Fox was released from the hospital on Friday. It's still undetermined when he'll return to Denver or what, if any, limited role he'll have while he recovers. Champ Bailey was also ruled out for Sunday's game, and he said his return will be determined by two factors: his confidence and the pain in his foot.
• "Can this Broncos team win it all in the NFL?" Yes [16]and No [17], by Joan Niesen and Mike Klis, The Denver Post

Facebook's new-life saving tool that helps people become organ donors evolved in part out of a note the company's COO Sheryl Sandberg read on her college reunion newsletter.
Sandberg, a Harvard grad, told ABC's "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer that her fellow alumni write "passages about their lives" ahead of reunions and she read one by Dr. Andrew Cameron for the class' 15th reunion.
Cameron is the head of liver transplants at Johns Hopkins Hospital. "He wrote about the patients who die waiting for organs and talking to their families about, 'We're so sorry. We don't have an organ to save your husband, your father, your daughter, your son,'" Sandberg told Sawyer.
"This was hugely meaningful for me," she said.
It would take another five years before Sandberg would be in the position to take action.
"At our 20th reunion, Sheryl was now COO at Facebook, and with this really powerful communication tool in hand, we crossed paths again," Cameron told ABC News. "She said, 'I remember what you wrote last time and I think Facebook can help with the problem of organ donation.'"
According to Sandberg, Cameron helped Facebook work with the medical community during development of the tool.
"Our dream is to save lives. … If enough people register and enough people start donating, this is a problem that we could dramatically decrease," she said.
There are currently more than 114,000 Americans waiting for organ transplants that could save their lives, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. An estimated 18 people die each day while waiting for an organ transplant.
"The organ donation crisis is not a medical crisis, it's a social crisis," Sandberg said. "It's a solvable problem with existing technology. These patients don't have to die if enough people donate."
She added, "I think one of the things Facebook does is it gives us real identity. You know, when you see someone on Facebook, you don't see a name on a list. You see them."
However, when it comes to solving problems like unemployment, Sandberg looks away from Facebook and toward education.
"You know, it used to be a generation ago that you could get the best education no matter who you were as an American, comparable or better than anywhere in the world. The data shows quite clearly that that's no longer true," Sandberg said.
"We're failing our children. And then as they grow up into adults, we fail them again. And this is something I think we all are united, that we absolutely have to fix for the future of our country, for these children who just deserve better and for our economy."
For Sandberg, who grew up in a family of doctors, working to help other is something that is in her blood.
"My father is, both my brother and sister are physicians. And the concept of working, you know, to save lives was something that, you know, I was brought up with," she told Sawyer. "My first job out of college I worked at the World Bank and I worked on leprosy and other medical problems in India. And so, you know, for me it's always been really important to try to do things that help other people."
Sandberg says she hopes the new tool inspires other people to leverage Facebook to solve social problems.
"The power of Facebook is that people step forward and try to help other people and save lives," Sandberg said. "If this leads to an outpouring of ideas from all over of other ways people can use Facebook to save lives, that would be terrific."
Note: There is no age minimum or maximum for being an organ donor.

David Gossett: Pre-Championship Press Conference
BETH MAJOR: Good afternoon. Welcome again to the 2014 U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The 1999 U.S. Amateur Champion. He's playing in his second U.S. Open this week, his first since 1999. Welcome back -- 2000, I'm sorry -- very happy to have you here. You went through local and sectional qualifying to get here, can you talk about your journey to the championship.
DAVID GOSSETT: Had to play 54 holes of golf to earn a tee time. Played in Austin, Texas, at the local. And actually lost in a playoff and was an alternate. I had to play a four hole playoff, after losing the playoff against Beau Hossler for first alternate, instead of second alternate. And then I got the call Friday, before the Memphis sectional, and said a spot has opened up, so you've got it. I went to Memphis and shot 66, 69 and earned a spot in the tournament. Played well.
BETH MAJOR: Can you talk a little bit about being back at the Open, you said you've been here a few days, what it's been like the last few days.
DAVID GOSSETT: I got here Friday night and got a chance to take a look Saturday and Sunday and played today. I love the golf course. It's challenging, I'm sure all the folks in here will say, yeah, everyone is going to miss a lot of greens. I've really been pleased with my time here at Pinehurst. I like the vibe around here. I like how Crenshaw and Coore routed it and made some changes. It feels great to be here playing in a big tournament. I'm almost getting ready to play. Another couple of days of practice, looking forward to teeing it up.
BETH MAJOR: Do you place any expectations on yourself coming -- being at the U.S. Open, knowing what sort of week this is? What sort of expectations have you put out there for yourself.
DAVID GOSSETT: Really my attention has been on just getting prepared. There's so much to take a look at on the greens and sticking to a game plan. Essentially, my expectation is to go out there and have a clear plan and just go out and do that. Yeah, as far as projecting a result or what I hope to do, I hope to win the golf tournament. I wouldn't throw down a 150 dollar entry fee if I didn't think I could win. But like I say, we'll see when the gun goes off.
Q. You spoke about the journey during the local qualifier, getting into the sectional qualifier, playing from there. What about the journey for the last 14 years, how difficult has it been, and did you think you'd get back to this point?
DAVID GOSSETT: Well, I went on the PGA TOUR on 2001 and kept my card in '02 and '03. It's been, I guess, ten years. Yeah, it's been a roller coaster. I've played poorly. I kind of got my wires crossed trying to get better and improving my mechanics. I felt there for a while I needed to improve my mechanics to do better than 80th and 100th on the money list on the PGA TOUR. I wasn't contending in the majors or having a crack at winning these type of tournaments. I changed my method on what I did, and it didn't go so well. There were a couple of years of playing really poorly. There's been a rebound, but it's been a slow, kind of mental process of cultivating and developing that confidence and trust in what I've been doing. Chuck Cook, working with Chuck, this is my fifth season working with him in Austin where I live. He's been helpful, steady. Really feel good about what I'm doing. I'm starting to trust it and believe in it. There's a big difference between doing it on the range, of course, and competition is a different animal. I really am excited about what I'm doing. I'm pleased with the improvement I've been seeing.
Q. Is there a low point for you, was there ever a point where you said, I'm not going to play competitive golf anymore?
DAVID GOSSETT: Never got to a point where I chose not to play or was going to quit, never took any job interviews or anything. Certainly there were times of disappointment and question marks, gosh, I mean, maybe I should pursue something else. But I never really went there long. And I was just kind of -- I'm more wired of, okay, what are we going to do next? And when you get punched, how are you going to handle that, rather than just dwelling on that. So, anyhow, there were low points. Missing at second stage Tour school, numerous years in a row. One year I missed by probably like 10 shots. I was kind of sick the week before, I didn't play well. I was thinking, man, this is no fun. That would probably be the low point. I'm encouraged when I see 66, 69, and against a lot of good qualifiers in Memphis. That's kinds of an improved situation.
BETH MAJOR: You have a young family, three small children, how does that change your perspective, and does that affect your game and how you take things out onto the golf course?
DAVID GOSSETT: Yeah, I mean, I think in life it's nice to have that balance off the course. But when I come in from a golf tournament, I've not qualified, like a Monday qualifier, and I come home, and all of a sudden my wife is, here you go, a child or two, you kind of -- you certainly don't rehash poor shots as long as I have. But off the course my life has been fantastic. I've got a great wife. She's my best friend. I've got healthy children and I've really been blessed. It's just the golf thing we're trying to get that back on the map. So I'm encouraged.
Q. The last few years you've been playing on the Adams Tour, the NGA Tour --
DAVID GOSSETT: Yeah, a combination. I haven't played on the NGA Tour, but I've been playing on the Adams Tour. And I played 11 events on the Web.com Tour last year. I've played some events out there, done some Monday qualifying. Haven't played in a PGA TOUR event in several years. Just trying to eek my way back out. I missed playing well enough to earn status for Web.com this year, so I've had to Monday -- I haven't played an event this year. I've had to do the Mondays. I've come close a few times. But it's tough. When you shoot 69, you go home when you play in a Monday qualifier.
Q. Do you have sponsors? Do you still have sponsors?
DAVID GOSSETT: Yeah, David Gossett and Company is my sponsor (laughter). I play Titleist equipment. And I play their ball. I guess Titleist, Scotty Cameron putter, that sort of thing, Titleist folks.
Q. One thing first to clarify, this is your first tournament of the year you said or have you played --
DAVID GOSSETT: No, I've played Mini Tour golf. But, yes, the first -- well, this is not a PGA TOUR event. It's my first USGA event of the year.
Q. Outside the mini-tour, your first tournament of the year?
DAVID GOSSETT: Yes, first one I've played in. I've tried to qualify in five PGA and four Web.com. And I haven't made it. And I've played in five Mini Tour events on the Adams Tour.
Q. You talked about you kind of wanted to take your game to go from sort of maybe in the middle of the pack to where you had a chance to win and you kind of went all wrong, as you put it. Anything specifically in kind of what you were trying to do and how that got messed up there?
DAVID GOSSETT: I mean, without sitting here rehashing it all day long, yeah, I just wasn't hitting the ball consistently well enough to have a poor week and finish in the top-10 or 15; or not play my best and be in the top 15. There would be too many weeks I would make the cut, but I finished 30th to 60th, and I didn't like that. And I was contending three or four times a year, but didn't win. I just want to get better. I want to be more consistent. I wanted to be in the hunt more often and have a chance to win golf tournaments. So I tried to improve the swing motion and wasn't able to do it.
Q. Would you say at this point it's more mechanical or more a mindset for you?
DAVID GOSSETT: I would say it's more mindset, attitude, confidence, you know, focus, really. I'm hitting the ball -- I'm not like a machine or anything. A lot of it has to do with whether I trust what I've been training and what I've been working on. But certainly I hit the ball well enough to compete and play good golf on this type of level.
Q. You talk about David Gossett and Company funding you at the moment. I'm fascinated by this. Realistically, has it been tough funding this dream, which is still clearly very present with you?
DAVID GOSSETT: Yes. Yeah, I didn't rent a house this week and pay 20 grand to rent a house this week, if that's what you're asking. It has, but, fortunately, I've been able to have some funds available to where I can play. I mean, I made some money when I played well on Tour. I had some good counsel and was able to piggy bank myself to continue the dream. Yeah, I keep telling my wife, the private plane is in the shop, can't find the mechanic and that sort of thing. Not that she would expect that sort of thing. We kid around with that. Yes, still going after it and able to pay the bills.
Q. How long more do you think you can continue to do that?
DAVID GOSSETT: Before or after I hoist the trophy?
Q. Hopefully, you're going to hoist the trophy. I'm curious, because it's such a financially challenging --
DAVID GOSSETT: I don't know, I have to take it one year at a time. Take it from there. I have some good counsel and people I trust and making sure we make wise decisions. I have responsibilities as a husband and father of three. I'm not out here to put the pedal to the medal until, oh, we're out of money, that sort of thing. We're being responsible. We have more time.
Q. Well, you touched on there, could you just tell us your wife, and you say you have three children, the names and the ages of the children and your wife's name.
DAVID GOSSETT: My wife's name is Jennie, J-e-n-n-y. And then I have a three-year-old daughter, Grace. I have a 15- month-old daughter, Caroline. And then I have a five-month-old boy named Hawkins. So you can probably figure out, we did two kids last year. We had one in February, one in December. So two deliveries in one calendar year. It was not planned, but it happened and everybody is healthy.
Q. When you talk about trying to fund the thing. In your mind, you're a relatively young man. There's plenty of good years, possibly still out there. Is that still on your mind that you can have a very successful, maybe PGA career, somewhere here down the line?
DAVID GOSSETT: Absolutely. I mean, I'm 35 years old. So when I grew up, when I was ten years old players, played in their peak at 35 and they were comfortable, more at ease where they were in life, more experienced and they seemed to win these Major championships. A few years later a gentleman by the name of Mr. Tiger Woods came by and kind of rewrote the experience and now there's a different age group playing this year than it was in 1999 or 1989 U.S. Open. So I absolutely know and believe that physically, obviously, I can do it. It's just a function of continuing down the road and doing it.
Q. You said it's been a roller coaster, which implies that there have been multiple low points. What has gotten you through those dark times, I guess?
DAVID GOSSETT: Just balance off the course. My faith helps me and keeping things in perspective. Having my wife and kids. And then I think deep down what really helps is just, I guess, at the end of the day, I have an inner belief that I know I can do it. I feel like I can get back on it. I'm really fortunate that I've won on the PGA TOUR. I've won the U.S. Amateur. Playing Mini Tour golf, you know, I've gotten to see a lot of guys out there who are trying and they're not as fortunate; and knowing that they've done it, believing they can do it, but knowing you can do it is a little different experience. I think a combination of those things has really helped me to keep my head on somewhat straight and keep plugging away.
BETH MAJOR: Well, we're glad that plugging away has brought you back here this week. We're happy to have you and wish you well this week.

At least four people killed, including a soldier, after clashes between pro- and anti-Assad supporters in northern city.
At least four people have been killed, and another 24 injured, after fighting erupted overnight in the Lebanese city of Tripoli between residents loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and those supportive of the Syrian opposition, witnesses and security officials have said.
Rocket-propelled grenades and automatic rifles were used in the fighting in an Alawite enclave and surrounding Sunni neighbourhoods in the port city, 70km north of Beirut, the capital.
"The clashes peaked at dawn. The sound of gunfire is still echoing in the city," a Lebanese security official said.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from Beirut on Sunday, said that there was uneasy calm in the city but that the fighting was "definitely related to the on-going crisis" in Syria.
Army 'targeted'
Lebanon's National News Agency reported that a sniper shot dead a Lebanese soldier while he was inside a car in Tripoli early on Sunday morning.
Khodr said, that it is "dangerous" that the Lebanese army has been caught in the the latest crisis.
"For the Lebanese army to be targeted is quite dangerous because it is seen as the only neutral institution in this country, holding [Lebanon] together..."
Clashes broke out on Saturday night between the army and a group of young Islamists, who were demonstrating in Tripoli for the release of an arrested "terrorism" suspect another security source said.
Gunfire first erupted between the Islamists and the army as the youths, sympathisers with the ongoing revolt in Syria, tried to approach the offices of the pro-Assad Syrian Social Nationalist Party.
About 100 young men, mostly Islamists, blocked the northern and southern roads into Tripoli, setting up camp at the southern entrance of Lebanon's second city.
Black flags bearing the words "God is Great" were planted alongside the Syrian flag of independence, a symbol of revolt in the neighbouring country.
"We will not leave until my brother is released," said Nizar al-Mawlawi, whose 27-year-old brother Shadi was arrested by Lebanese security forces.
According to a statement from the security services, Shadi al-Mawlawi was arrested as part of an "investigation into his ties to a terrorist organisation".
Border spill-over
The fighting underlines how tensions in Syria could spill over to neighbouring Lebanon. Clashes are common between the Alawite, the same sect that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad belongs to, and Sunni sects in Tripoli.
Syrian authorities have charged that arms and fighters are being smuggled in from Lebanon to help those fighting to overthrow Assad.
Our correspondent said Tripoli has become a hotbed for the Syrian opposition over the past few months. That reports have indicated that they have set up base there, that they have their activists who work there and there have been accusations of weapons been smuggled into Syria from this Tripoli.
She said that there were concerns that if Syria descended into civil war, this would spill into Tripoli.
"There is concern. [Lebanon] has a history of conflict, political divisions, sectarian divisions, and those divisions have been exacerbated as a result of the Syrian conflict across the border," said Khodr.
Lebanon is divided between the March 14 camp, backed by the US and Saudi Arabia, and which is hostile to the Syrian regime, and the March 8 camp, which dominates the government and is supported by Syria and Iran.
Similar clashes in the area in February left two people dead.

Stolen presents makes me so sad. One time I was staying at a hotel and one of the other guests had her car broken into. It was the day before her wedding and rings, decorations, favors and everything were stolen from her car. Literally the only thing she had left was her dress, which she had brought in.
The underwear one cracked me up. I wonder, did she wait until the person had left before she came out of her stall?
The underwear one was funny? OC, did you put them on or go commando?
Most property (home, tenent) insurance policies cover theft from your vehicle, no matter where you were parked. You'd likely have to pay the deductible, though. That really sucks.

Thatgamecompany's PS3 exclusive Journey released just over a month ago to universal acclaim. When I saw something about Jenova Chen, the title's Creative Director, I was intrigued. What would the creator of such a unique, powerful video game have to say about the culture of gaming? In an interview with EuroGamer, Mr. Chen made the following controversial comment:
"There's this assumption in video games that if you run into a random player online, it's going to be a bad experience. You think that they will be an asshole, right? But listen: none of us was born to be an asshole. I believe that very often it's not really the player that's an asshole. It's the game designer that made them an asshole. If you spend every day killing one another, how are you going to be a nice guy? All console games are about killing each other, or killing one another together. Don't you see? It's our games that make us assholes."
Journey creator Jenova Chen. -EuroGamer
I don't agree with Jenova's statement and couldn't help but mutter, "what the hell," when I read it. I should be clear that I don't have anything against Jenova Chen or his quality work, because everyone is entitled to their opinion. In fact, I was looking for a different take on things, and I certainly got it from Mr. Chen's interview, but his opinion has compelled me to respond.
For starters, I don't automatically assume that meeting someone online is going to be a bad experience. Sure, it's annoying when you're playing an online game that requires cooperation and somebody doesn't have a headset (which I've gone on about before.) I may also scoff at somebody's low level when I'm playing on an exceedingly hard difficulty that they shouldn't be attempting.
Regardless, I find that when somebody does have a mic we usually get along well. We talk strategy or team work, I find out where they're from, we make some jokes and the experience is typically good. The times when I do run into an annoying somebody? I (thankfully) have a number of options in order to prevent them from hindering my experience.
Muting, kicking, or calling them out and challenging them one on one are just a few of those options. If they are on the other team, I gladly let them talk all the crap they want. I just give it back to them threefold after I beat them. I figure they deserve it and likely expect it at that point anyway.
Jenova does acknowledge that we're not all born to be assholes, which I agree with. I don't agree that game developers and video games turn people into assholes. Think back to history where there were plenty of people who didn't know a thing about TV or video games and were none to pleasant.
Look at how people treated prisoners or criminals, subjecting them to torture, rape and slavery just to name a few. Ever hear of the method of execution known as hanged, drawn and quartered? (Think Braveheart). That's a particularly barbaric bit of business there and just one example. In fact, I could write several articles on this subject, and I have already, but I'll leave it at that.
Console games where I'm killing someone's online cartoon avatar or enemy AI doesn't make gamers into assholes. Back when I used to play Call of Duty, I actually enjoyed the competitiveness. It was a nightly social event and my real-life friends, as well as people I'd met over Xbox Live, all came together to have a good time. We worked together, helping each other with bits of shared gaming wisdom.
The experience was akin to playing hockey with my friends. I'd get that rush of excitement after a really good win, and our work together honed our skills to a military precision where we knew each other's moves. We got to a point where, in a few clipped words, we could bring the pain to almost any enemy team. Sure we ran into people that would boast talk a lot of garbage, but wasn't a problem. We kept our cool and showed sportsmanship no matter who we played online.
I should note that we even occasionally ran into the opposite kind of team where, after a match, we'd congratulate each other and comment on the awesome moves and kills each team pulled. I think you get a mixed bunch any time you play, just like any random group of people you might see on the street. Some might be immature with low self esteem and foul mouths, and others are there to have fun, make friends, and play/compete in a friendly manner.
Do you think competitive games, by design, turn gamers into jerks? Please let us know in the comments or tweet us @GameJudgment.

Bergman said the question surprised her and "sat inside" her for a while. "It was not on my dream list," she said of the job. "It is now."
The daughter of a Lutheran pastor, she said the presidency is a "call to serve," an opportunity to provide a liberal arts foundation and inspire students with the core Gustavus values of excellence, community, justice, service and faith, Bergman said.
Bergman has a chemical engineering degree from Princeton University and studied in a doctorate program in chemical engineering and material science at the University of Minnesota.
For Bergman, the job will be a geographic adjustment; she'll live in St. Peter on weekdays.
Her husband, Thomas, is a Duluth native, chief of neurosurgery at Hennepin County Medical Center and part of the University of Minnesota faculty.
The couple have four children ranging in age from 21 to 28. The two younger children are at home and all are supportive, she said.
The family lives in North Oaks, where the Bergmans are able to walk out their front door and enjoy hiking, biking and skiing trails. Bergman said she enjoys bird hunting with her husband, playing Bach on the piano and reading, most recently the novel "Finn" by Jon Clinch (she said she mixes classics with modern fiction and nonfiction). Weekends mean time with family in Duluth, Pennsylvania or at the couple's cabin north of Hinckley.
The Bergmans hunt with their black Labrador retriever, Mia. They also have two cats, Tucker and Bella.
"Everyone's smiling in my household, and that means a lot to me," she said of her new role.

Finding the Right Snack Bars
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, Healthy Tips, April 1, 2009
We've talked about how to pick the right energy bars. On the flip side, there are snack bars to choose from, too. Here are some of our favorites.
Snack Bars vs. Energy Bars
Unlike energy bars, snack bars are for between meals. Energy bars tend to be higher in calories and are meant to give more active individuals extra calories and energy — too much for just a snack.
Many snack bars are made with granola mixes — that is, a combo of oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit and small amounts of sugar and fat. Some packaged granola bars also add in chocolate, fudge and pieces of candy (most of those wouldn't make our approval list). Dozens of granola and fruit bars are available these days and some are better than others (see our faves below).
Remember, these shouldn't be your go-to snack all the time. Non-fat yogurt, fruit or a handful of nuts are also easy and portable alternatives. It's important to rotate your snacks — and all foods, really — to get a variety of nutrients.
What to Look For
If you're looking to lose weight, choose a bar with less than 150 calories. If you're just looking to maintain, then go for one with 200 calories or less. There are a few of my favorites (ones marked with an * are a good choice for those trying to lose weight):
- Barbara's Crunchy Organic Granola Bars — 190 to 200 calories per pack of two bars
- Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars — 190 calories per pack of two bars
- Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars* — around 140 each
- Kashi Bars TLC Chewy Granola Bars* — around 110 to 140 each
- Larabar Fruit & Nut Bars — look for those between 180 to 200 calories
- Larabar Jocolat — any flavor, between 180 to 190 calories each
Make Your Own
Of course, creating your own low-cal snack bars is often better. You get to pick your ingredients and flavor combos — plus, less packaging waste.

Jacksonville, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Chris Clemons on Thursday, one day after the defensive end was released by the Seattle Seahawks.
Clemons tallied 11 or more sacks in each of his first three seasons in Seattle. The 32-year-old suffered a torn ACL in the Seahawks' win over Washington in the 2012 playoffs, however, and recorded just 4 1/2 sacks along with 24 tackles in 14 games after returning from the injury this past season.
Clemons was deemed expendable after the Seahawks' recent re-signing of end Michael Bennett, Seattle's leader with 8 1/2 sacks during the club's march to its first NFL title.
A 10-year veteran who broke into the NFL with Washington as an undrafted free agent in 2003, Clemons has compiled 58 sacks, 13 forced fumbles and 226 tackles over 130 career games with the Redskins, Oakland, Philadelphia and Seattle.

Excerpts from Revelation: Joseph's Message
Joseph: I would like to talk to you about the concept of work… firstly how you occupy your time, and secondly THE work.
Unfortunately, most occupations on the Earth plane are neither creative nor uplifting. Your
society has created a need for drudgery in order that levels of materialism be maintained; and nothing destroys the human spirit more than drudgery. However, it is difficult for many people, once under that pall of drudgery, to expand their souls and this is the fault of society rather than of the individual.
You have a great problem today with work, because as you think, so you are. If people are in occupations that pull them down, that give them no inspiration or hope, then those are the thoughts that emanate from those souls into the atmosphere, contributing to the depression,
the darkness and the restrictiveness of this world.
I am not suggesting that the whole world should be creative, but I am suggesting that the attitude to work should be different, not: let us be as productive as possible in order to get as much mammon as possible. If workloads were staggered, and people worked a day at a time then had a free day, then worked another day and had a free day, their spirits would have time to recover, and it would be better if the companies concerned sought to provide better conditions for the souls under their employ. The whole system you have at the moment is geared towards making more material things… faster and faster… more and more productive… more and more automated… more and more boring… and all this stifles the spirit.
Each soul is capable of creating in some way because each soul creates as a matter of course, being a part of God. I am not suggesting that you place a paintbrush in the hands of each person but there is something creative that each soul can do. And if companies realised this and provided the tools for their workers to do something creative with, then their production would go up. However, they would find as this happened that they had been changed by the experience, and that they really didn't want to produce the goods they are now producing, because they would realize, in adopting a more spiritual approach, that those goods are too linked in with a material world. They would instead seek to produce something new and of more worth to a more spiritually minded society.
What I am attempting to explain is the soullessness of your world with regard to its material objects today. There is no love in them. There is no love in your television set or your car; there is no love in your furniture or your purpose-built house because the only love built into these objects is a love of the money that they will produce for someone. Your televisions would work more efficiently, your houses would be more welcoming, if they had love put into them at the design and creation stage, if a little time was taken over things, which it isn't.
And the speed at which souls work today prevents us from reaching them. There is no time for God in the lives of souls today. They work and they work and they work, and then they return to the spirit world – and then they often choose to return to the Earth plane to repeat the cycle!
Work is not all there is for a soul, day in, day out, as the years go by, to be involved in something mindless, it is as torturous to that soul as some of the cruelty inflicted on souls in times before this one. It is mental cruelty; it is physical cruelty. The soul always seeks to fly free and to grow, and your society will not allow that.
Work is important yes, but choose your work carefully. Be at the centre of a balance, so that on the one side you have the work that is necessary for you to live, but on the other side you have creativity, you have time for your God, you have time to explore what your soul is capable of. Because in creating, whether it be a sculpture or a painting or growing a plant, you are exploring your God qualities. And your God qualities are your good qualities and the more people that balance their lives in this way, the brighter the Earth will become, and the freer the Earth will be from the negativity.
We are looking for a state on Earth in the future where people have more leisure time, where they devote more of their daily lives to an exploration of self – not of ego, but of the soul – in order to understand what they are capable of, to understand that thoughts are living things, that whatever they think is Creation, and that if they think for the best they will alter the surface and quality of the planet, and the quality of life for everyone else on the planet.
Another aspect of work on the physical plane now is that it very often cuts people off from each other. They have forgotten how to communicate, they have forgotten the niceties of life, they have forgotten to enquire about each other, simply because work is the great god.
And what does it profit them? It brings them motor cars that rust; marriages that don't last; children who never look back at their parents and move on. It brings unrest, it brings anxiety about the new house, or the holiday, or the clothes, or the furnishings, and none of these things are important. It is companionship that is important, the reflection of yourself in others; your uniqueness and the way you share that uniqueness with others. Those are the things that count, those are the things that are important, those are the things that have to be brought back to the surface so that the Earth can be changed.
The second area I wish to look at is THE work…God's work!
There is so much of THE work to do, but it requires people to surrender to that call from within, and to say, 'Yes, God, I will do it. – Now… what is it I have to do?' Isn't that a leap? That is what is demanded of the next generation. The faith and feeling that God has something for them to do, and the courage to answer that feeling by saying, 'I will do it!'
There are many workers – potential workers – out there now. Children who have been born over the past thirty years and those that are being born today have a great potential to transmit and receive spiritual power, communication, information, healing and counseling thoughts. There are many spiritual leaders out there, potentially, but they need to be in the right environment. We are working towards a society that will recognise the Light-bringers in its midst and support them so that they can do the work they are supposed to do.
There are little lights out across your world, and those lights are the children who are growing up now and have a mission.
