VGLaw: Nintendo Co. Ltd. v. James Burt, or, Nintendo Whomps Aussie Pirate
on 02.09.2010
Welcome to the first installment of VGLaw, a Destroid cblog series that aims to educate you, the video game consumer, about the law and how it can affect your gaming lifestyle, hopefully without too much of the high-falutin legalese. Today we'll begin with the recently settled Australian case of
Nintendo Co. Ltd. v. James Burt
The Facts
As reported by
and many other news outlets,
Nintendo v. Blunt
was a case before the Australian Federal Court that ended in a settlement in favor of Nintendo, to the tune of $1.5 million AUD (approx. $1.3 million USD/£840,000). James Burt, a 24-year-old resident of Queensland, had purchased a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii prior to its global release date when a store "accidentally" put it out on the shelves early. Burt proceeded to copy the game and upload it to Wii hack site www.yafaze.com*, six days prior to the game's official release date. The game was then illegally downloaded and re-uploaded thousands of times across the internet and the world.
After an intense investigation, Nintendo was able to trace the pirated game's history back to Burt, its original uploader. On November 23, 2009, police searched Burt's home and found evidence of his pirate activities. Nintendo filed its suit in the Australian Federal Court, and the case was settled on January 27, 2010 for the amount specified above. Burt was also ordered to cover $100,000 AUD in Nintendo's legal fees.
* - www.yafaze.com has since been shut down. All that displays upon visit to the site is a message that the site has been closed and that "the site and all of it's [sic] contents has been removed out of respect for Nintendo." It is unclear whether Burt owned or operated the site, though in searching his home, Nintendo had requested the search to include any details or passwords related to the website.
The Law Behind It
You should all be familiar with digital piracy, copy protection, and all that jazz by now. You should all know that the unauthorized copying and distribution of games and other materials is illegal, and subject to civil (generally, recovery of monetary damages), or in some cases, criminal penalties. In Australia, copyright law is governed by the Australian Copyright Act of 1968 (ACA) and its subsequent amendments. The Act is somewhat of an amalgam of the British and United States copyright systems, though following the U.S.-Australia Free Trade Agreement, enacted in 2005, the ACA now models the U.S. Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
Without the court documents, it is impossible to know precisely what harm Nintendo alleged in its filings. However, it almost certainly included lost revenue caused by the illegal distribution of the game, thousands of times over, as well as penalties for circumventing any copy-protection on the original disc. The Australian legal system does allow for punitive or examplary damages as well, though it is impossible to tell if they would have been awarded in these circumstances, though they were undoubtedly requested by Nintendo. All told, a settlement of $1.5 million could very well be a bargain for Mr. Burt. In fact, he is fortunate he does not face criminal charges as well.
A typical Australian judge...
In Australia, copyright infringement is only a criminal offense when accomplished on a large commercial scale. I am by no means familiar with Australian criminal law; however, were I a prosecuting attorney with a particular dislike for internet pirates, I would argue that despite the fact that Burt made this material available for free, the scale on which the game was downloaded was equivalent to a large commercial distribution. Furthermore, if he owned yafaze.com and had ads that generated revenue, the revenue increase from extra traffic directed to the site by the availability of the game could be considered commercial. Most government-employed attorneys likely don't know enough about the internet to push that one too hard though.
It is unclear as to whether Mr. Burt has the assets to meet the terms of the settlement agreement. Many commenters assume Burt will file for bankruptcy. This may be true. However, bankruptcy is not a magic wand with which Burt can magically cast all his debts aside. To start, Burt would face numerous restrictions, such as the need to disclose all relevant financial information to his creditors, and the need to obtain permission before traveling overseas. If his home and vehicle are above a certain value, they may be sold off to pay his estate's debts. Furthermore, he will be required to contribute a portion of his income to the clearing of his debts. If he does not, his wages will be garnished. Burt will be paying, one way or another.
How It Affects You, The Gamer
Many loyal Destructoid readers have NOT downloaded games, music, movies, and other media from any variety of websites, primarily via torrents. I'm sure there are even some who have NOT uploaded those materials for sharing, or even NOT worked around DRM and other copy protection. The act of NOT doing this is called piracy. In the music industry, the act of sharing such files has been prosecuted for awards of hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, and this case makes it clear that the video game industry takes piracy just as seriously. However, it has been debated as to whether such litigation has had a positive effect on decreasing and deterring piracy. Most evidence seems to indicate that it has not, and that pirates are just getting trickier.
Whereas the music and film industries have met with varying success by going after the sharers of files and the sites that host them (see the series of cases against The Pirate Bay for more regarding that), Nintendo here has chosen a different tactic: they went straight for the source. Through some impressive digital forensics, they were able to track the distribution of this game right to Mr. Burt's door. This seems to have paid off for Nintendo, assuming they can collect the full amount of their settlement. It may very well pay off for other developers and publishers as well.
The cost of such an investigation is likely fairly high, and so scouring the internet for pirates of every game release would not be a very cost-effective strategy. However, the potential damage in lost revenue for major releases, such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, makes bearing the cost of tracking down those individuals pirating the material worthwhile. As the saying goes, cut the head from the serpent, and the body dies. It has yet to be seen whether pirates will think twice in light of Nintendo's new strategy, and whether other companies will employ similar tactics. If this is the case, you may find it more difficult to NOT illegally download major releases in the coming months and years.
And finally, gamers in Australia may be dismayed by the resulting backlash from their countryman's actions. A spokesperson for Nintendo Australia stated, "Nintendo Australia is always pushing for games to be released here at the same time as the rest of the world, so we were pleased to get New Super Mario Bros. Wii before anyone else. Unfortunately, due to the actions of this individual, future release dates may be affected for Australia, which is disappointing for us."
Australia gets boned again.

FOP Theme #1: Every Girl's Crazy 'bout a Sharp Dressed Space Marine
on 09.05.2009
Good morrow, my darlings!
By now you must have taken notice that fops such as ourselves sport only the finest of attire, and our impeccably styled hair surely needs no introduction. In watching my manservant, Manservante, play my games for me so that I don't strain my delicate hands, I find though that many video game characters are brutish louts, with barely a nod towards their own appearance. In fact, I begin to suspect that they have given nary even a glance into their pocket mirrors. My word! What if they don't even carry one in their makeup case?!
How is one to be accepted into higher society wearing that horrid shade of
olive green
, with a visor no less! I don't care a whit if he's in Her Majesty's Navy, that Master Chief fellow will never be invited to one of
parties. He's only an enlisted man after all. An
would be another matter entirely. I do love a man in a fine uniform.
I chanced upon some Greek fellow as well the other day. I won't go into the travesty of his outfit, but I will say that
body paint
has never ever ever ever
been fashionable. Manservante was fortunately close enough to catch me and carry me home when I swooned upon witnessing the tragedy of his accoutrements.
Surely there must be some video game chaps and gentlewomen that have a sense of style, an eye for flair, a modicum of interest in the cosmopolitan lifestyle. I must know who they are! You will tell me.
Today's theme: Video gaming's best dressed! Bon appetite!
Fondest regards,
The Baron Bartholomew Blatherhedge
P.S. - Don't forget about our delightfully foppish contest,

FOP Contest: Freakishly Foppish Finery Frivolities
on 09.03.2009
My dearest
I'll not waste time regaling you with my titillation over your
rather enthusiastic response
to the Friends of the PAXless. With all of those rum culls and scabs on ventures to foreign shores, I'm all agog to begin our foppish fun. Which brings me to our first gentlemanly (or womanly!) competition!
To truly be a
, one must prove an exceptionally elegant sense of style and flair. Fops of old were renowned for the cut of their waistcoats and the architectural prowess of their wig construction. While I am certain that there are hardly any among you to be counted as shabbaroons, I charge you, my fellow
, to prove to me how foppish you can be. Submit a tintype or photograph in the comments below of your most foppish regalia. Included must be a sign reading "I am a Friend of the PAXless!", or simply "FOPtoid" will do in a pinch. This is to ensure that no one infringes upon the work put in by fops outside our fair community.
Submissions can be made until Monday, 11:59 PM EST, at which time all submissions will be judged by myself, the Baron Bartholomew Blatherhedge, and perhaps one or two other
of my choosing.
Only those not attending PAX may enter
. The prize has yet to be determined, but you have my solemn vow that I will do my best to make it worth your while.
If you have any other ideas for Foppish contests or themes for
blogs for the coming days, please do not hesitate to forward your correspondence posthaste to email@example.com. I look forward to seeing you all in your foppish finery!

Friends of the PAXless: A Call to Arms!
on 09.02.2009
My dearest compatriots, have you been affronted by the bourgeois and general air of unconcerned levity put forth by attendees of the Penny Arcade Expo? Does the incessant chatter of these wealthy popinjays regarding their enjoyment of of the Expo's multifarious activities and revelry in their companionship leave you feeling a mite bit peevish? Fear not, humble fellow, for your are not without recourse.
Enter: the Friends of the PAXless (FOPs).
While in years past, those among us who found themselves unable to book passage to the Northwest Territory for Penny Arcade's annual festivities may have found themselves quite vexed. Perhaps even overwhelmed. This year, you may set your watch and warrant that things will be quite different.
have dedicated their persons to providing alternate entertainment to endless flood of Expo-related news and tomfoolery that will soon permeate these hallowed grounds. It is our aim to provide small contests, daily activities, and entertainment to those who have not the wherewithal or weight to their purse to attend the frivolous festivities to soon commence in the Shire of Seattle. We propose to be the counterweight to the unceasing palaver and prattle of those ragamuffins who would speak of nothing but the Expo.
To be a
, one must devote themselves to the highest degree of video game fashion. This season, nonsensical yet gaming-related fun is all the rage, and so we must be diligent in our pursuit of such. If you have ideas for contests or activities for the Friends of the PAXless, or artwork or anything else you wish to share, please post your correspondence to email@example.com.
And so my friends, come, declare yourself a
! While the cats are away, the
will play! Find funny, interesting, or otherwise entertaining tidbits for all of us to enjoy in the meantime, so we may not be lost in a blight of Expo-focused news. And when posting your blogs as a Friend of the PAXless, do not forget to include
in your title, so we may share in it, and glory in the mirth that those attending the Expo will wish they had not missed out on.
(Your first task is to find yourself an appropriately foppish name. Mine is Bartholomew Blatherhedge. Go wild.)

What could you do in Kaanapali and Maui before having a milestone birthday?
Kaanapali, Feb. 25–FB is celebrating a milestone birthday today and may not want the blogger to say which one. So you will just have to guesS. Even so here is what she has been doing on Maui over the last ? years. And one guess who this beautiful daughter takes after. Her only fault is when you point a camera, she automatically strikes a pose but sometimes does not like the result, like most women I have photographed over the years (MUCH MORE BELOW..SCROLL)
ABOVE: ages 2–3 in Ka'anapali and Chicago; BELOW: At Easter Egg hunt in Lahaina with brother, breakfast someplace, with son, and with Hula Pie at Leilan'is
What will these people in Kaanapali be doing that they were never able to do before?
KAANAPAL, FEb. 20I – Times are a changing here. Your blogger and columnist has been observing the evolution of the Kaanapali Beach Resort -believe it or not – for more than 40 years. The big changes are evident, but the subtle ones visible to the keen observer are accelerating. Now you can take paddle board lessons and do much more: Scroll down to see the column.
Change where the world comes to play Voices of Maui • Beyond the Beach February 12, 2015
BY NORM BEZANE , Lahaina News
For thousands of years, Lanai and Molokai sat in the distance often embraced by clouds. The scene still looks the same today, but closer in, what can be seen is entirely different. Once, you could see a single catamaran landing at dusk. Now, you sometimes see the Kaanapali version of a traffic jam, with five catamarans back from sunset cruises debarking passengers on the shore at the same time.
Many locals other than Hawaiians rarely visit one of the world's greatest beaches, busy with work or other things. A vast majority of condo owners we know can never be seen on the beach walk or restaurants. One wonders why they don't just stay in California and water their lawns.
The most tasteful change this year is the new Hyatt Kaanapali Beach (adjoining the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa) that quietly opened before Christmas. At the soft opening on the first day, some 30 or so employees lined up and greeted the first guests with applause and leis.
The latest addition to Kaanapali Beach is the Hyatt Residences, which feature two interconnected pools and lots of greenery.
The unusual design of the resort, dotted with extensive foliage and large trees that took months to install, showcases the beach and ocean, with all venues within the resort – including a spectacular lobby, towel kiosk, food store and jacuzzi – having an unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. The new Tiki Bar just steps from the water is a great place to hang out and have a Coke or a Mai Tai.
Beginning at the Sheraton and walking past five major venues, you can engage in nostalgia or wonder at recent changes. The shuffleboard courts on the beach at the old Sheraton Maui have long been gone.
Standing alone, the Kaanapali Beach Hotel has changed little, its great lawn still a wonderful place to relax. Iconic bartenders Dale and Tommy have been serving Mai Tais for 40 years at the Tiki Bar.
The Whaler condominium has snazzy new barbecues on the beach, a great new garden in the middle and completely redone balconies.
Hula Grill, replacement for the old Crab Catcher (where you could dine next to its swimming pool), thrives. Only the prices and menus have changed.
Rusty Harpoon, where you could cook your own burgers 30 years ago and later cheer on your teams at its sports bar, is gone. If you look to the ocean from the new restaurant there, your view will be obscured by new kiosks selling sarongs, photo shoots and time shares.
Continuing our journey down the beach path, we come to the Kaanapali Ali'i, which a couple years ago expanded its pool area and added a waterfall. Soon, it will close for a $40 million-plus rehab project, according to a longtime owner.
The old Maui Surf once next door gave way to The Westin Maui. Its two main restaurants have undergone still another re-creation.
The Marriott Ocean Club further along has doubled in size, and red-shirted attendants can be seen teaching guests to fish from the shore.
All along the path, the beach walk's ocean side once held bushes and sand. Now, broad lawns have been added lined with chaise lounge chairs – easily more than 100, their soft cushions with towels awaiting guests every early morning.
Paddle boarders now serenely paddle toward Pu'u Keka'a (Black Rock). Surf schools have proliferated in just the last two years, with yellow- and orange-shirted instructors bringing scores of visitors out into the waves.
Hotel managers from the Mainland, however, have added garish signs more suited to California than our beautiful Hawaiian beach. They are an insult to a culture that venerates beauty. The latest goofy idea is a water attraction that propels visitors into the air. Noted one longtime resident who owns at the Ali'i and is on the beach every day: "Kaanapali Beach is now being treated as if were an amusement park."
The columnist is not amused.
Flowers, a Thread and a Needle.

2007 Dodge Charger SXT SOLD
2007 Dodge Charger SXT
$6000 The SXT package has the 3.5L V6 motor, with upgraded trim (spoiler, chrome, etc) as well as interior options like power seats. 110K miles and changing daily. The vehicle does have a rebuilt/pink title. The wreck was to the front right of the car and the fender and hood were replaced. The passenger door glass also broke, and was repaired. The front bumper was not replaced, neither was the passenger door. The vehicle drives very nice, no vibrations, etc. The front right brake occasionally squeaks, however the brakes were just replaced. I will try to repair that if I have time. The AC charge leaks out in about a month and will need to be recharged. I do not know where the leak is coming from. The car is very clean and ready to be driven anywhere. The pictures tell the story on how well the vehicle looks. It drives just as well. Text me with any questions. The car must sell, so I am considering any offers.

Question listshuttle + suggestionBox

Hi everyone
I have a question
I am using Richfaces the suggestionbox with a listShuttle. Basically what I want to do is when a user selects/clicks on an item in the suggestionBox that this item is selected in my listShuttle (in the sourceValue list). (Let say I have 1000 values -String - in my listShuttle, then the suggestionBox is used to find quickly an item and focus on it in the listShuttle, it is more convenient than using the scroller of the listShuttle
What I am doing right know, is using a javascript function on the onselect="selectItem();" event of the suggestionBox, so I have :
function selectItem(){ var sug = document.getElementById('chartSettingsForm:paramInput').value; var i = 0; for(i =0; i< document.getElementById('chartSettingsForm:parametersListShuttletbody').childNodes.length ; i++){ var t = document.getElementById('chartSettingsForm:parametersListShuttletbody').childNodes[i].textContent; if(sug == t){ alert(t); } } }
I retrieve the good value but I do not know how to "focus" on the element in my list ... I am pretty sure is it simple but I tried, t.select(), t.focus() ... but nothing is working :/
Thanks for your help

Both the forums are not related at all, it's just that some people might be contributing to both the forums
and it might be a waste of their time looking at the same question!
In response to your question , have you looked at the activeItem attribute of listShuttle?

Hum, I can retrieve the active item in the shuttle list :
So, I looked in the API, and there is a setActiveItem, but I cannot make it work :/
I tried document.getElementById('chartSettingsForm:parametersListShuttle').component.sourceList.setActiveItem('myStringInTheShuttleList'), or .setActiveItem('chartSettingsForm:parametersListShuttle:3') but doesn't seem to work
It seems to be easy :/ There is no example with the activeItem attribute of the shuttle list , and I do not now how to use it to set an active item.

Ok I have a working example for your problem, list shuttle has a pretty nasty dom !
I have just changed the stylesheet class for the matched row using javscript.
Richfaces defines several style classes that you can use with a list shuttle component(class names can be found in the userguide).
<rich:comboBox id="combo" value="#{Bean.suggestedValue}" onselect="check();"> <f:selectItems value="#{Bean.items}"/> <%-- items is an Array of select items --%> </rich:comboBox> <br/> <rich:listShuttle id="shuttle" var="item" sourceValue="#{Bean.items}"> <rich:column> <h:outputText value="#{item.value}"/> </rich:column> </rich:listShuttle>
function check(){ var sug = document.getElementById('form1:combocomboboxValue').value; var i = 0; for(i =0; i< document.getElementById('form1:shuttletbody').childNodes.length ; i++){ var tr = document.getElementById('form1:shuttletbody').childNodes[i]; var td=tr.childNodes[0]; var data=td.childNodes[1].data; if(sug==data){ //alert("Selected Value - " +data); // alert("tr class - "+tr.className+"\n"+" td class "+td.className); td.className="rich-shuttle-source-cell-selected"; tr.className="rich-shuttle-source-row-selected"; }else{ td.className="rich-shuttle-source-cell"; tr.className="rich-shuttle-source-row"; } } }
I tried using the activeItem attribute by using a value expression and then using ajax to set the activeItem, but I was facing some issues.
But this should be a simple workaround.

Thanks for the help
Two "issues" with your code,
The first one is by using the class to highlight the element found in the suggestion box , itdoes not scroll to the position of the element (I have more than 200 elements in my list), but when I scroll to my element, it is highlighted
The second issue is after the highlight of an element, if I select an other element, then the previous found element stays highlighted

I tried it now, and I found another issue different from your issues ! I did not try the scrolling so I can't
However, it does clear the old highlighted element (else in the code takes care of that)
The problem that I found was , it only 'highlights' the element, it does not 'select' it, so the user still has to 'select' it.
I went through the source code for list-shuttle, but have not found time to try anything yet.
It is sorta covered in the

Pienaar's message to Madiba
Wed, 12 Dec 2012 08:48
We can't forget that he is 94 years old
South Africa's 1995 World Cup winning captain Francois Pienaar says he is hoping that hospitalised Nelson Mandela "will be celebrating his 95th birthday and many more to come".
Anti-apartheid hero Mandela, who is being treated for a lung infection, famously presented Pienaar with the World Cup trophy after the Springboks won the title on home soil several months after he had become South Africa's first black President.
With Mandela wearing a Springbok jersey bearing Pienaar's No.6 the encounter became a symbol of hope for post-apartheid South Africa.
Pienaar, attending the Doha Goals forum conference, said: "Friends have been in contact with him [Mandela] in South Africa. And of course he's not in great shape but not too bad either.
"Obviously as soon as Madiba [Mandela's clan name] is hospitalised for a check-up all the media talks about it.
"It's normal because he's someone who has left his stamp on people. But we can't forget that he is 94 years old...and we're hoping he'll be able to celebrate his 95th birthday and many more besides."
Mandela, admitted to hospital four days ago, is responding to treatment, the government said earlier Tuesday.

Background Note | HBS Case Collection | June 2014 (Revised July 2014) An Overview of Project Finance and Infrastructure Finance—2014 Update Benjamin C. Esty, Carla Chavich and Aldo Sesia Provides an introduction to the fields of project finance and infrastructure finance, and gives a statistical overview of project-financed investments over the years from 2009 to 2013. Examples of project-financed investments include the Kashagan oil field development in Kazakhstan (1997), the $1 billion Port of Miami Tunnel (2007), the $54 billion Gorgon liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia (2009), and the $6 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper mine expansion in Mongolia (2014). Globally, firms financed a record $415 billion of capital expenditures using project finance in 2013, and the use of project financed-investment has grown at a compound rate of 8% over the past 15 years despite several macroeconomic crises. This note focuses primarily on private sector investment in industrial and infrastructure projects and contains four sections. The first section defines project finance and contrasts it with other well-known financing mechanisms. The second section describes the evolution of project finance from its beginnings in the natural resources industry in the 1970s, to the U.S. power industry in the 1980s, to a much wider range of industry applications and geographic locations in the 1990s and 2000s, and most recently to infrastructure finance in the 2010s. The third section provides a statistical overview of project-financed investment over the last five years (2009 to 2013) and looks at industry, project, and participant specific data. The third section also provides recent data on infrastructure investments and public-private partnerships. The final section discusses current and likely future trends.

Background Note | HBS Case Collection | January 2015 Note on Economic Inequality (2015) Clayton S. Rose and Aldo Sesia For over half a century, most of the world's economies have enjoyed steady growth and prosperity. However, beginning in the 1980s, and continuing essentially unabated to the present, the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" in developed countries has widened, with a small proportion of the population reaping an increasingly larger share of a country's economic rewards. This growing economic inequality has been particularly pronounced in the United States, but the phenomenon has also occurred in many nations, among them Germany, Japan and Sweden. This note provides background on aspects of economic inequality. It begins by describing both income inequality and wealth inequality, providing an explanation of two widely used metrics and data that show increasing inequalities over time. It then moves to the factors that might contribute to this inequality, as well as to propositions of economic and social consequences that might result from the widening gap. Finally, it addresses the issue of "equality of opportunity" or social mobility.

Case | HBS Case Collection | April 2009 (Revised January 2015) Dr. Benjamin Hooks and Children's Health Forum Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Charles J. Ogletree Jr, Howard Koh, Abbye Atkinson, Carmel Salhi and Aldo Sesia "Dr. Benjamin Hooks and Children's Health Forum" charts the many different career paths of Hooks, a civil rights activist and pioneer. Hooks' positions ranged from lawyer, judge, preacher, entrepreneur to the first African American commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and to the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to the co-founder of the non-profit Children's Health Forum (CHF). CHF's mission was to eradicate lead poisoning in children in the United States. The case provides an overview of lead poisoning in the U.S., including how it is measured, its causes, and legislation enacted to prevent it. The case asks students to reflect on Hooks' leadership choices and his decision to launch CHF. How would they assess Hooks as a leader? What made him a strong leader? Given Hooks' past experiences, do they think that Hooks made the right decision to focus on lead poisoning after leaving the NAACP? Is this an area where he could have the most impact?

Harrison Smith fined $21K for hit
NFC North blog
ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert writes about all things NFC North in his division blog.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings rookie safety Harrison Smith has been fined $21,000 by the NFL for a hit on San Diego Chargers receiver Mike Willie on Aug. 24.
The hefty fine sends a stern message to the first-round draft pick, who already has established a reputation as a hard-nosed, big hitter. Smith was penalized for the hit against Willie late in the third preseason game.
Smith was drafted out of Notre Dame to add some playmaking and a harder edge to the back end of the defense.
The Vikings have been searching for an intimidating presence at that position for years, and Smith gained a reputation for being willing to get physical even against teammates in practice during training camp while competing for a starting job.

Duke Nukem Forever : Hail or Fail?
on 06.11.2011
Hell froze over and Duke Nukem finally got released and it got tits in it.
Unfortunately that's the best thing I'l lhave to say about it.
The graphics are bad, the textures look like its straight from the nineties, who knows, maybe they are...
No amount of blur is going to hide the complete lack of polish the game sufferers from. There is a complete over use of Bloom affect and DoF. In fact the DoF affect is implemented so badly that when pressing the RMB to zoom in all the enemies turn into blurry blobs. Its like playing a game while suffering from cataracts.
Dukes charm is gone too, maybe its because back when DN was originally released seeing virtual strippers and shooting 'the pigs' was considered a daring move by any developer it shocked you, made you feel little shameful for enjoying it, playing the game was a guily pleasure.
Since then the gaming industry has had a decade to mature and to see all this stuff again in DNF leaves you with a feeling of 'been there done that.' and the excitement from seeing this stuff vaporizes faster than KY jelly on Dirk Digglers cock.
The Dialogue is annoying, the characters are annoying the whole damn thing is annoying. Duke Nukem should have been left as the legend it was, not dress up mutton being served as lamb.
Fail to the king, baby & welcome to the bargain bin.

MW2 - 402 gets called out by IW forum mods
on 12.15.2009
There's a lot to read here, but fear not the WALL OF TEXT!!!

However, Twitter has proven itself to be one of the most effective ways to get information quickly from users, find out a problems instantly, and spread information the fastest to not only our community as a whole (even if I post on Twitter, it spreads here quickly) but to news outlets so they can let even more players know (who don't check official forums).
This thread is a great example of why Twitter is an effective medium. 90% of the posts in this thread have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Meaning someone who wanted to converse or talk about this issue, would have to filter through all the off topic posts. On Twitter, you get just the information you want, straight from the source, without the need to filter anything.
So, while you may not be a fan of Twitter. It has proved essential in helping us stay on top of important issues and communicate out to our audience. Information posted on Twitter spreads faster and to more users than forum posts ever have. It's a great communication medium. In addition, it's the fastest way to get updates out even when traveling or out of the studio thanks to it's mobile applications.

But how does that justify essentially completely ignoring Infinity Ward's very own forums completely, both in any type of support for it or in just acknowledging issues, problems, concerns on the official website for IW and MW2?
It seems people are told to come this website and by virtue these forums as well as assuming that this is the site to come to for very obvious reasons (and more than reasonable for them to do so), and thus come here for support instead of following the instructions on the back of the instruction booklet. And when they do come here and find no area for information, updates, etc such as a simple intel feed, page, or other and then decide to come to these forums to try to find an answer, or to simply ask their question they are immediately exposed to disgusting images, users, replies, posts, threads, etc, not to mention a forum that is lacking the most basic of things like working BBC code or even just being able to log in. I mean, how could a company let their OWN forums become so horrible? Especially with the resources available to them, not to mention the people willing and able to do the work for FREE sitting in place asking for that support...for the lest several months?! I honestly don't know how you or IW are not embarrassed in regards to these forums.
We aren't asking for much at all, only for you, or whatever web team, to do what we reasonably assume is a part of their jobs in regards to the support for these forums. In terms of information and such, it's still not much at all. Simply that you acknowledge problems, issues, concerns like you did here on a regular basis. Members responded very positively to see some activity from yourself because that's all we asked for and continue to do so in terms of acknowledgment. We don't want time commitments for extended conversations and such. We want a simple acknowledgment as you did here as well as in another thread. It does not require much more time than it takes you to post on twitter, especially considering that you say you DO read the forums and what is being discussed on here. As stated in another thread concerning this idea, you can make a thread about a particular issue and just lock it, or do any other method of your choosing just so that members on these forums do not feel completely ignored as they have felt for months now.
The moderator team would also very much appreciate some sort of response to the multitude of concerns and issues we've brought up beyond the usual "the web team is on it" since that obviously has not gotten us anywhere or remotely addressed the issues we brought up.
This forum could be a GREAT place for people to come to to discuss MW2 and Infinity Ward as well as provide a much better line of communication between them and yourself/IW than twitter due to there being no 140 character limit here. This would very much allow people to better express themselves, explain themselves, etc leading to better communication of their ideas, opinions, & concerns as well as being able to get feedback to them from IW and other users in the same manner without having to sift through countless tweets as well as organizing the conversations in one thread easily accessed by all. But, it is about as far away from that as it can be right now much to the dismay of users.
Having said all of this, it is great to see some activity out of yourself on here and hopefully we can look forward to much more, as well as the site and forums hopefully receiving some much needed support. Thank you for posting your acknowledgment of this situation and taking part in the forums once again.

Not to mention that is not, by a long shot, the only issue or concern we have brought to you, Infinity Ward, and now Activision. Why were half of our abilities and powers taken away with no explanation? Then ignored us consistently when we inquired about them.
Also, we are tired of these complete rehash statements about the web team and most of all these sympathy statements you are trying to use to exempt yourself from actually doing anything or responding in a decent fashion. When will you ACTUALLY respond to us? When will you ACTUALLY give us the explanation we deserve? I mean hell, we've worked for you for absolutley nothing, dedicated many many hours of our time to keeping these forums in some semblance of order. We have given much more than asked of us, and not for you or IW by a long shot, but for the community, and you don't even have the decency to acknowledge us for MONTHS and then when you weakly do you ignore almost every issue, pawn off the same mediocre response, try to play funny, and then try to play the sympathy card again.
This isn't the beginning and it's far from the end. It's the middle. It started with Sparky, with J.RHy@n, and this had been going on for months before we ever came along. Those two held the forums down for a very long time while the game was actually being developed. They had the powers to do what was necessary and they, too, had their powers taken away with no explanation. They also had zero communication such as we have had. This is far removed from the time for trial and error, waaay beyond that. The forums are a complete disaster, and for what reason? What reason at all?! Because you don't trust us? Haven't we earned that trust by our actions as moderators, by sticking around ALL of this time despite the complete lack of support, and by dedicating a substantial amount of time here to "hold down the fort" while you are away? All while having absolutley no expectations of being rewarded or reimbursed?
Please, give us the answers, explanations, and the damn common courtesy we deserve and have more than earned.

And... fourzerotwo's response:

The Community Moderator position was designed to be volunteer work to help address spam as they could. It is not meant to consume your life. It's a hard, thankless, and daunting thing to take on, but you really shouldn't let it get to you like this.
As far as site issues, there is nothing further to comment other than the web team is aware of the issues and are looking into it. I'm sorry if that response doesn't meet your standards but there is nothing additional to add at this time.
To Foxhound as well, there are no additional moderation powers to give. As I stated above, the Community Moderator role is a limited one and we won't be giving any more access to user profiles than is currently available. The role of a community moderator is purely to delete spam as they see fit, lock threads, and help point people in the right direction with questions / looking for answers. All of which can be done with current powers.
That said, none of this is really relevant to the topic at hand and has no place in the public forum.
Naturally this has now been deleted from IW forums, the mods have been removed and 402 has walked away from it.
We should all un-subscribe from his twitter account and drop this idiot, he doesn't deserve his roll in the industry. There are many that would do it better, for less and appreciate the privileged position a lot more than this guy. His response just reeks of patronisation, self importance and arrogance.
He is a much use to the community as tits on a fish.

CoD6 / MW2 / WTFBBQ?
on 11.20.2009
My wife bough herself a rather expensive blue wool coat while in London, guess what she's bought me to soften the blow.
After a few carefully placed questions ( I dont want to discourage this kind of bribery) I think I know how this has happened...
I've only ever called it CoD6 at home. She's heard my ranting about CoD6 and the lack of this and that when yapping over teamspeak but she didn't know it was the same thing as MW2.
Its my own fault, I should have married a gamer.
I've tried it online and I can fully confirm that it is the worst, most frustrating online game to set up and get going. You cant choose a specific map to play, it takes 15 mins to find 7 other players in TDM (the most popular game type at the moment with +20000 players) . The screen freezes/lags while IWNet is searching for players, it so bad in fact that if you hit escape to go back to the menu its almost impossible to confirm that you want to leave the lobby. I resorted to Ctrl, Alt + Del and ending mw2mp.exe. I could go on but you've all read about it already.
Its suffice to say that trying to pick out their biggest fuck up to the MW2 multiplayer game would be like trying to name the sluttiest girl in Essex.
So educate your other half's now, Chrimbo approaches so let your relatives know CoD6 = MW2 and that you haven't got it already because the multiplayer sucks.

Catalogue entry
Oil on canvas 14 1/2 × 18 (369 × 457)
Inscribed 'J Pollard 1836' b.r. and 'JP' on a trunk at rear of coach; the coach is variously lettered (see below)
Bequeathed by Mrs F. Ambrose Clark from the collection of the late F. Ambrose Clark through the British Sporting Art Trust 1982
Prov :...; 'Christie's 1914' (according to Selway 1972, but sale untraced); F. Ambrose Clark by 1937; his widow Mrs F. Ambrose Clark
Exh: Sporting Prints and Paintings, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, March–April 1937 (32); Tate Gallery, August–September 1982, and York City Art Gallery, March–September 1984, with other paintings from Mrs F. Ambrose Clark's Bequest (no catalogue)
Lit: Hugh McCausland, The English Carriage, 1948, p.117, repr. facing p.120; [E.J. Rousuck], The F. Ambrose Clark Collection of Sporting Paintings, privately printed, New York 1958, p.217, repr. p.216; N.C. Selway, The Golden Age of Coaching and Sport, 1972, p.30, no.103
The painting has hitherto been exhibited and described as 'The Manchester-Liverpool Mail Coach...'; but the meticulous detail with which Pollard records the embellishment of the vehicle firmly establishes this as the 'Tally-Ho' London-Birmingham Stage Coach, licence number 3462 (Pollard depicts the number plate affixed to the door panel of the coach behind its headlamp). 'BIRMINGHAM' and LONDON' are lettered on the lower part of the door, with the picture of a turbaned head between them; above them are lettered the coach proprietors' names, 'W. CHAPLIN & CO.| TH. WADDELL| S.A. MOUNTAIN & CO.'. 'MANCHESTER' and 'LIVERPOOL' are lettered on the bodywork to the left of the coach door, and ' [...] VEN [...] ' (Coventry) to its right. A tubular holder for the guard's horn hanging from the roof of the coach is lettered 'TALLY-HO' and also carries the image of a turbaned head. All this evidence firmly identifies this coach as the 'Tally-Ho' London-Birmingham stage coach, which departed from 'The Saracen's Head' inn on Snow Hill in the City of London at 7.45 a.m., arriving eleven hours later at the Swan Hotel in Birmingham, from which passengers could travel by other stages to Manchester, Liverpool etc.
A detailed study of the coach itself, in pen and ink over pencil, is in an album of Pollard drawings in the British Museum (4 7/8 × 7 1/8in; 1933-10-14-172). This drawing carries the same lettering as the painting (and is inscribed with colour notes and with 'Sarison's Head' for its point of departure and 'Swan Hotel Birmingham' for its terminus), and the same clearly numbered licence plate, '3462'. The Directory of Stage Coach Services 1836, compiled by Alan Bates, 1968, p.5, records '3466 and '3501' as licence numbers for the 'Tally Ho' London-Birmingham coach, and '3462' for its competitor, the 'Greyhound' London-Birmingham coach. Pollard's clear evidence is to be preferred on this point.
The background depicts Whittington College, a two-storied row of almshouses built by the Mercers' Company from 1823 to replace almshouses at St Michael's Paternoster established by the Mercers executing the Will of Sir Richard Whittington ('Dick' Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London, d.1423). Whittington College, Highgate, contained flats for almswomen who were widows and spinsters and aged over 55; as Pollard shows, there was a chapel in the middle of the central block and two houses (for the Chaplain and Matron) at the end of each wing. The road in the foreground was built by the Highgate Archway Company as a commercial venture, to bypass the steep Highgate Hill. An Act of Parliament in 1809 authorized the Company to build a road and to levy tolls on vehicles, animals and pedestrians; the charges were 6d. for a horse-drawn cart or carriage, 3d. for a horse and rider, 2d. for a donkey and 1d. for a pedestrian. This toll-gate and its keeper can be seen on the right in Pollard's painting. In 1966 Whittington College was demolished to make way for the Archway Road Improvement Scheme, and rebuilt at Felbridge in Sussex (information kindly provided by Joan Davies, Jim Connell and Arthur Drage).

sail-world.com -- Gusto sets new Melbourne to Launceston record
Gusto sets new Melbourne to Launceston record
Fri, 28 Dec 2012
Gusto has now shattered the record in Australia's oldest ocean race, the Melbourne to Launceston, with a time of 18:44:05 – taking more than an hour off the previous record. Capibarra 8 set the record of 19 hours 55 minutes and 43 seconds for the race in 2003.
George Pattinson and his crew crossed the line at 7.14.05 this morning, becoming the first ever boat to win the Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster, Melbourne to Hobart Eastcoaster and Melbourne to Launceston line honours trifecta – in consecutive years.
The rest of the M2L fleet is fighting it out 45 nautical miles from the finish, with Ninety Seven leading the pack. The all important handicap honours are being fought out with a matter of minutes between No Fearr and The Secretary on corrected time.
In the Hobart races, Goldfinger has streaked out in front of the M2H Eastcoaster fleet, heading down the south side of Flinders Island with a 20 knot south westerlies. At this stage they are on their way to the golden double of line honours and being on the top of the IRC handicap table.
Dry White reported winds of up to 42 knots during the night and rough conditions for crew, as they continue the chase behind Goldfinger with Seven50, Matrix and Escapade who is currently leading AMS.
The Westcoaster race is proving much closer, with Extasea out front but running second in IRC to Bandit who is seven miles behind. Tevake II, Cadibarra 8 and Spirit of Downunder are in a tight cluster between those two at the northern tip of Cape Grim, with the handicap places open for the taking.
All crews had a cold and bumpy night with the strong south westerlies holding in at 30 – 40 knots but gusting higher than that. Not surprisingly sea sickness has been a problem for some. All crews are enjoying the morning light and the slightly softer winds.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith didn't have a bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bah-bomb experience on a recent flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, getting escorted off the plane after a dispute.
On Thursday Virgin America released a statement calling the incident a "misunderstanding" and said they "apologized" to Geno.
"We believe it was the result of a misunderstanding that regrettably escalated unnecessarily," Virgin America said in a statement. "We've apologized to Mr. Smith for his experience, which could have been better -- and we'd welcome him back onboard any time. As an airline that prides itself on our guest service, we take incidents such as this one very seriously."
The Associated Press reports that Smith was asked to take off his headphones, declined to do so and the argument escalated. Smith has accepted the apology, however.
"I really appreciate that Virgin America took this seriously, looked into this matter and followed up with me," Smith said in his statement. "I look forward to flying their airline again soon."

Having whiter teeth makes you look more successful, more employable, more attractive and even five years younger, according to a new study. Most Brits want their teeth to be two shades whiter.

Prime Instant Video Greenlights Betas, An Original Comedy Pilot
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon Studios, the original film and series production arm of Amazon.com, today announced that it will add the comedy pilot Betas to the line-up of pilots already in production for Prime Instant Video. Betas, which is the eighth comedy pilot added to Amazon's pilot line-up, will be made available (along with the other seven comedy pilots and six children's pilots) for free on Amazon Instant Video, LOVEFiLM UK and LOVEFiLM Germany. Customers are invited to view the pilots and then review them on the site; customer feedback will help determine which of the 14 pilots Amazon Studios will make into full-season productions, to air on Prime Instant Video.
Set in the land of Silicon Valley start-ups where the right algorithm can make you king, Betas, written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard, follows four computer geeks and their quest for nerd fame as they attempt to crack the ultimate code. Ed Begley Jr., Jon Daly, Joe Dinicol, Margo Harshman, Charlie Saxton and Karan Soni star in the pilot.
Michael Lehmann ( Heathers, True Blood, Dexter, American Horror Story) will direct and produce the pilot along with Emmy Award winners Alan Freedland and Alan Cohen ( King of the Hill, Due Date, American Dad), and Academy Award nominated producer Michael London ( Sideways, The Visitor, The Informant).
"Amazon is giving us a chance to work outside the TV bureaucracies and connect directly with audiences hungry for original content, and Betas is the perfect match for that model," said producer Michael London. "Betas is a half hour comedy about a group of tech-savvy millennials trying to connect with the world both personally and professionally. Speaking for the whole creative team on Betas, we couldn't be more thrilled to be part of the first launch of Amazon Studios pilots and working with such an inspiring group of people."
