Regaining Control - When Old School Controllers Become The New Hotness
on 09.23.2007
When I saw that the DS was getting a "paddle" controller --
as seen on Destructoid
-- I was so excited that if I'd had the foresight to fill my pockets full of glitter, at that moment I'd have done a quick little dance and thrown two handfuls of the stuff into the sky above me. As nice as the touch screen is, it's never really impressed me all that much. I've always found the idea of the dual-screen much more important than the addition of touch. The ability to display multiple views and pass information to the player without obscuring the field of view, especially when screen real estate is so limited, is vital. Perhaps that's so because there are so few games that have really taken advantage of what can be done with the touch screen, or because the ones that do are lousy at it. Either way, for some games, it just doesn't quite compare to more traditional control interfaces. For example, although the game being featured with that new paddle controller is "Arkanoid", I've played "Breakout" on the DS before, which is fairly similar to "Arkanoid", and the touch screen makes for a pretty good interface, but it's not the most accurate way of controlling the paddle when executing quick maneuvers. Not only that, but sometimes the stylus gets in the way, making it hard to see. A paddle wouldn't just make the game more "retro" but more enjoyable, too.
Recently, Sony announced that the latest iteration of the PlayStation 3 controller, the DualShock 3, will feature built-in vibrating motors that give the player tactile feedback -- a feature more commonly known as "rumble". Rumble is hardly a new feature, having been around for more than a decade; however, Sony had to forego its inclusion in the PlayStation 3 controllers due to legal reasons. Now that it's back, though, PlayStation 3 owners couldn't be more excited. Rumble, it would seem, had been taken for granted by Sony. Rather than bite the bullet and just pay Immersion Technologies the licensing fee required to include the feature, they called it "last-gen" and sought to play it down as much as possible. It would seem that, like the new paddle controller for the DS, old school, last-generation features are new school, current-gen hotness.
Enter "Lair", an intensely hyped game for the PlayStation 3 which was widely panned by critics who claimed the motion-sensing capabilities of the Sixaxis controller were rather poor. "Rather poor" is a nice way of saying, "the reviewers hated it". Many of them actually wished they could use the analog sticks on the controller, instead. Factor 5's director, Julian Eggebrecht, appeared on an episode of EGM Live (here's the episode in question -
mp3 get!
) defending the motion controls and insisting that the reviewers were "too hard core" to properly play the game with a new control scheme. If a $599 console isn't meant for hard core players, then I'm not sure who it is for. Nor am I sure of whom, exactly, Eggebrecht had in mind when he said that. Perhaps the millions of casual players who already bought a Wii? Whether Factor 5 felt that motion controls were that much more important than the traditional analog sticks, or whether there was pressure from Sony to show off the Sixaxis controllers, I can only speculate. But if there is a lesson to be learned here it's that people need options and alternatives. If you can't provide that, then you really need to do your best to make sure your decision is handled properly. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a game that scores very low because the reviewers can't play it right.
The future of gaming peripherals seems mired in hypocrisy. Everyone wants to play a game the way they feel the most comfortable. PC gamers want a mouse and keyboard for every first-person shooter while some fighting game fans will prefer an arcade stick to the d-pad. I'm sure you can even find a group of people who would argue that the analog stick is better than a wheel for racing games, followed by the group who prefers a d-pad over an analog stick. Then you've got flight-sim buffs who can't seem to get enough peripherals, including multiple displays and motion activated seating that make you feel like you're actually flying -- these people will spare no expense. I'm not saying any one is better than the other, nor will I insist that any of this is wrong; I'm simply pointing out that it's hard to please everyone. I'm sure more than a few people will find objection with my thoughts on the touch screen, and that's ok. What I'm finding, however, is that we don't really appreciate something until it's long gone -- like paddles, trackballs, joysticks, analog sticks, and maybe even motion controls, someday, in the mysterious future. Years from now, will we wonder what ever happened to the good ol' days, when all we had were a pair of analog sticks to play Halo, or will we wonder how gamers of yore ever got along without motion control? It's hard to say what will emerge as the most popular way to play, but one thing is certain: there will always be some old jerk, like me, wishing he could use a paddle to play the re-remixed version of Breakout on his DS 2.
Rise of the Anti-Hero
on 09.17.2007
When I found her she was quite sick, scared, and alone. I stood over the body of her protector -- my most recent kill. She scurried across the floor, terrified. As I approached I could see the fear flashing in her eyes. Then I reached out and picked her up. She resisted, crying out and futilely batting my hand away. This poor, young creature was in need of help, and though I was warned not to, I took the chance to save her. I didn't do it for the prestige; I didn't do it for the ADAM. I did it because it felt good. Although, I certainly didn't have to....
The idea that good and evil are as simple as black and white is a myth. In reality, the "bad guy" is often so ambiguous that, depending on your perspective, he could easily be the "good guy"; and vice versa. In a game like BioShock, doing the right thing often comes down to where your conscience lies. ADAM is the substance that allows your character to upgrade his body, allowing him to add more powers and abilities. The more you harvest, the more you can do with it; so, it behooves you to harvest as much as possible when the opportunity arises. However, had I chosen to harvest all the ADAM from the Little Sister the process would have killed her. By saving her, I received less ADAM but cured her of her illness and allowed her to live freely. Of course, there's a lot more to it.... Without giving away too much of the game, I'll simply state that it becomes a morally ambiguous decision that can be summed up by stating, simply, that you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
While hardly the first to do so, games like BioShock offer players a series of choices and ways to play that largely depend on the person playing them. There's no "right" or "wrong" choice; it simply comes down to what you want versus what you are willing to do. This gives players the ability to be themselves and still achieve the end goal of the game. Thus, the rise of the anti-hero -- the bad guy who saves the day.
The anti-hero plays by his own rules -- he's a rebel with a cause. He's a loose canon and smells like trouble from a mile away. He's going to get the job done -- whatever it takes -- and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty. He's the guy your mamma warned you about. He's the best and the worst in all of us, and that's what makes the anti-hero so compelling. He does what you wish you could do, and video games are all about doing what you wish you could do.
Look, I tried skateboarding on a half-pipe once -- I nearly broke my neck! In a video game, though, you don't need skill, you don't need years of training, you don't even need to own a skateboard! Video games are best when they are fun. Playing the hero, beating up the bad guys -- that's fun. But that doesn't mean games can't also be challenging, nor does it mean games can't be smart about giving you choices that make you think about what you are doing. When you stop and think about it, it only makes perfect sense to harvest every last Little Sister you come across, but you've got to consider the alternatives. The other in-game characters offer you some compelling reasons to do one or the other and it's not hard to see where they are coming from, but the game does well to stay out of it and allow you to make your own decision. There's no right or wrong, no punishment, no benefit. One way or the other, you get what you need to get the job done.
The fact that more games are coming out that offer this kind of immersion is only proof that the formula works. Players like being the anti-hero -- or, at least, they like having that choice. After all, saving the princess is good but looking like a total bad-ass while doing it is better.
Flatout UC Demo
on 09.13.2007
After playing the ever-loving shit out of the demo for Flatout Ultimate Carnage, available on the Xbox Live network, I can determine two important things:
1) this game is a ton of fun
2) the graphics look pretty
I just wish they could have come up with a "K" word for the title to make the acronym complete....
When it comes to destruction derby games, they're pretty much a dime a dozen, these days. The thing is, I don't think there are too many other games of this type on the Xbox 360, which is a damn shame. Between the uber-sim FORZA 2 and the more "arcade" style racers, there just aren't that many racers for a gamer like me. In other words, I fail at racing, but I love driving courses backwards and causing head-on (apply directly to the forehead) collisions. This game, from what I've played of it, offers me that exact amount of joy.
The demo offers three main game modes: Carnage Race, Deathmatch Derby, and Race.
The carnage race consists of a looped course where the goal is to rack up as many points as possible by catching air, smashing scenery, and destroying your opponents. Coming in first means nothing but extra points, but the points are central to your success, overall.
Deathmatch Derby is a timed deathmatch. Kill or be killed. Again, you're trying accumulate as many points as possible, but you have a limited number of "lives", so you need to survive for as long as possible while dishing out a lot of pain.
Race is self-explanatory. You race. There's no penalty for wrecking your opponents but you need to come in first to win.
The cars handle pretty well -- depending on what you're driving. I don't know how much they'll be offering in terms of customizability, upgrades, or that sort of thing, but SUVs and larger vehicles handle about as well as you'd expect while smaller, faster vehicles offer better handling but are easy to destroy. Having said that, yeah... it's pretty much an arcade racer when you get right down to it. Don't worry about over steer, anti-lock brakes, or any of that crap -- just stand on the accellerator and make some cars explode.
Speaking of exploding cars, I don't think I've ever gotten so much satisfaction from a car explosion before. Each car, when it ignites, goes up like a tiny nuke. The sky flashes a blinding white for a moment and a blaze erupts around the doomed vehicle. In the Destruction Derby game type, you can tell a car just went to hot hell no matter where you are on the map. It's quite visceral.
The graphics are sweet, each bumpmapped crack in the pavement is a wonder to behold. Concrete walls are pock-marked and textured, wooden fences have age rings in the planks, metal pipes and beams look solid and heavy, it just all looks really nice. This game is a treat to show off in HD. FORZA 2 went for photorealism, even if it meant having environments that look plain and dull, whereas Flatout UC has a very stylish look. Every scene is gritty, painted with rust in a dirt-bath solution to give it that harsh, underground feel -- it really works well.
Also in the graphics department are the cars themselves, with slight details to make them stand out. Some of the cars look nice, almost show-worthy while other cars look like they're done before they've even started -- scrap heaps, sporting a half-hazardly tacked on quarter-panel and painted in a lovely shade of bondo. Everything about the way these cars look is a reminder that your goal is to smash them all to hell. Every crunched bumper, popped hood, ripped off side-panel is another score for you. Smashing into cars is a joy, in and of itself, far beyond merely winning the race.
Where the game starts losing points is in the music. The only I really like is the tite track, "Nothing Can Wait" by Opshop. I'm listening to it right now; it's not bad. The rest of the music, however, is fail... EPIC fail. The best thing I can say about the music in this game is that you can turn it off. It's really just God-awful and the less said about it, the better.
The next issue I'd like to raise is the damage your vehicle takes. I'm not saying this is a positive or a negative, but damage doesn't degrade performance. Your vehicle performs as well immediately prior to explosion as it does at the very begining of the race. Now, I'm of two minds about this; on one hand, I feel that if your car gets gimped, it should act like it. On the other hand, trying to limp towards the finish line which to broken axels and a missing wheel isn't a lot of fun. Of course, I've played games where you're left with a car that is inexorably broken after a hard run, and it is kinda fun to try driving a car that desperately needs to be put out of its misery. So, as I've said, I could really take this or leave it. Hopefully, in the full-version of the game there will be an option to degrade performance based on damage, but that's just speculation on my part. I'm just saying, it would be nice to have.
All in all, I'm definitely looking forward to picking up this game when it comes out this Fall. If you think this might be a game you're into and you have an Xbox 360, look for the free demo on Xbox Live; it's been available for about a week, now.
The Dark Side of User-Generated Content
on 09.09.2007
When it comes to the future of gaming there can be little doubt that it will be a socially engaging activity that blends fantasy and reality in unprecedented ways. One of these ways, however, will be the amount of development that will be in the hands of the fans themselves. Giving the users the tools they need to create their own content will change the very meaning of gameplay and what it means to be a gamer. This exciting, new approach to games stands poised to bring about a new era in gaming, but it also brings with it the potential of a veritable nightmare for developers, publishers, and content producers, alike.
Little Big Planet, an as yet unreleased Playstation 3 game, is a game that epitomizes user-generated content. Big Giant Games, the developer working on Little Big Planet, is promising that users will be able to interact and play in an environment that is completely open. The focus of the game will be on levels that are built and designed by players as they play them. By adding and manipulating objects in the game they will be able to shape the world in any way they can imagine. The game certainly has a lot of people excited as speculation abounds on the types of levels and gameplay concepts players will come up with, but that speculation sometimes tends to focus on the negative aspects of what such an open system could allow. All manner of offensive, objectionable material has been considered -- and for good reason. Give a pair of unmoderated, idle hands some paint and an empty canvas and you might just get the next Mona Lisa -- or, you might end up with subject matter too steamy for even a men's room stall in a run-down truck stop. Give a few thousand pairs of hands the same tools and the ability to collaborate online and it's easy to see where this can go. For every level steeped in brilliance, that sets the standard for the type of gameplay a game like Little Big Planet hopes to produce, you can bet there will be at least a dozen that are completely unacceptable by anyone. There are, however, deeper concerns than crude jokes passed between friends in a video game. Consider the repercussions of intellectual property theft.
There was a group of amateur game designers that were hard at work on a modification for the PC game Quake. They wanted to completely redesign the content of the game -- maps, character models, weapons, sounds, and other effects -- to resemble the world of Aliens Vs Predator. The idea was to create a whole new game that would pit players against each other in a battle between the Aliens, Predators, and humans of the popular movie franchises. There was only one problem: what they were doing was completely illegal under copyright law. While iD Software, the developer that produced Quake, allowed for users to modify their game, the Predator and Alien properties are each owned by 20th Century Fox. This group of amateur designers were not authorized to produce a modification for Quake based on such content and were quickly issued a cease and desist order. At the time, the case was so famous that, as subsequent modification projects were shut down, it became known as being "Foxed". This same scenario has played out with other franchises and other games over the years and it's really only a matter of time before it happens again. As tools become more accessible and developers continue making games that encourage user-generated content, industrious enthusiasts will take every opportunity to recreate their favorite worlds and scenarios in such games. Imagine if someone were to recreate World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros., content owned by Nintendo, in a game like Little Big Planet, a game set for release on Sony's Playstation 3. With a channel of distribution as wide and free as the Internet, such a level could easily spread to thousands of Playstation 3s as gamers download it on demand. The question is whether the rightful owner of such content, Nintendo, would demand the content pulled and if it would have any legal right to do so. As this new frontier in gaming emerges, these are questions that may soon be answered.
Thankfully, the future is not yet determined; wonderful possibilities do abound just around the corner. Just as in the past, for every copyright infringing modification that will be destroyed by a team of rabid lawyers, a handful will be produced that actually revive and prolong the lifespan of the original games they modify. Half-Life, a PC game released by Valve in 1998, is an excellent example. As the game grew in popularity more and more amateur developers looked to take advantage of the game engine's capabilities for their own modifications. One such modification was a team-based combat game that featured terrorist/counter-terrorist squads that were pitted against each other. The game's focus on realism and tight, close-quarters combat was seen as "refreshing" in contrast to the largely cartoonish "deathmatch" style gameplay championed by games like Doom and Quake. Because the modification was freely available, all you had to do to experience it for yourself was get your own copy of Half-Life. This single fact boosted sales of the award-winning game long after the initial buzz was over. In fact, the game became so popular that Valve sought to purchase the rights to the modification and turn it in a stand-alone, retail product. The game has gone through several iterations since then but is still widely played to this day. Indeed, Valve owes much of its success to the idea that embracing your fans creative desires and giving them the tools they need to create such modifications is a good idea.
Like Valve and many other savvy game developers, Big Giant Games knows the power of user-generated content. Whatever the risk may be, Big Giant Games thinks it's worth taking such risks if it means getting back vibrant, new ways to play their games. If this new level of emergent gameplay is, indeed, the future of games, then gamers and developers stand to gain a lot more than they could possibly lose due to objectionable material or litigation. Perhaps Little Big Planet won't be the industry shaking game it hopes to be, but as more games attempt to blur the line between gamer and developer, the future of gaming looks to be very exciting.
Cyberball almost makes me like football. Almost.
on 09.05.2007
First of all, I like the initiative Microsoft is showing by putting Neo Geo games on the XBLA. They've managed to do what Nintendo won't -- at least, not in the States. Fatal Fury is a good start, now, how about some Samurai Showdown? Better yet, Metal Slug! Oh, sweet cherry poppin' christ... wouldn't that be special? Then again, that's what GameTap is for.
So, how 'bout them Cyberballers? If there's one drawback to being a guy, it's that every other guy assumes you must be into football. Just today, we had a dude looking at the house to give us a quote on winterizing our windows. He eyeballs the HDTV and turns to me, "D'you catch the Penn State game last Saturday? I bet it looked great on that!" I grinned, uncomfortably.
"Actually, no. I hate football."
He lets out a low, quiet, "Ah, I see." His disappointment is great. In his eyes, I am fail.
Even among my more nerdy friends, there are those into football. I can sort of understand why... Getting through high school can be an arduous ordeal -- sometimes, you have no choice but to understand the nature of the enemy, and this may mean going to extremes. I, on the other hand, never sold out. Football? That is the domain of jocks -- the tall, tough guys with the girls and the cars. They go to parties and proms while my friends and I hang out in basements, upgrading our RAMs and playing tabletop RPGs. I'm a walking cliche and that's just fine with me. I didn't get through all those years of high school only to turn back now and pretend some game that is only marginally more than any other video football game is good. Except, it is kinda good -- for a football game.
Here's the problem: a football game that features robots also better feature lasers, rockets, and maybe even chainsaws. Your team should be upgradeable -- better lasers, homing missiles, rocket packs. Each successful play determines what kind of weapons and upgrades you get: faster treads, smarter blockers, etc. And if I can earn the upgrades I need then I should have the ability to tear the upgrades off your players and attach them to mine. The actual game of football should be secondary to an all-out robotic brawl where my quarterback-bot can tear off your quarterback-bot's arms and beat it to death with them before grabbing the ball and flying to the end-zone, where your team has set up laser-mines that destroy my quarterback-bot before he can score. Does Cyberball 2027 feature any of this? NO! It's fucking football with robots and a ball that occasionally explodes! I am not impressed!
Although, as a football game, it is kinda ok. Considering it's the only football game on XBLA, I guess it's better than nothing while still having some small bit of originality. Can't knock it for that.
Another World - Old game is old.
on 09.02.2007
Another World
is a computer game that was originally released by Delphine Software for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS PC. It also saw release on The Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. When I first played it, back in the day, I played the Sega Genesis version, and I thought it was pretty cool.
The game is described as a cinematic platformer. I guess that's close enough; it's a lot like Prince of Persia. It used vector graphics, which were revolutionary when the game came out in 1991, although today it looks rather more like a Flash game. The game does well to create a unique, cinematic experience. The atmosphere in the game environment is very domineering; you feel a sense of urgency as you play it. Relying on logic and puzzles as much as action and shooting, the game plays on several levels and requires a bit of work to figure out what to do next. Playing it again was like a brief step back in time, when games were simpler in design but still quite challenging. Eric Chahi, the original author, has released an updated version for Windows XP that features enhanced graphics and higher resolutions. The enhanced graphics raise it to another level, making it look really nice. We would describe this as "retro" today; it's stylish and detailed but nothing you'd call "next-gen". Because of this stylish, yet simplistic look, the characters are very expressive and easy to understand.
Another great game just like this one was Flashback, which I used to think was a sequel to Another World, but was, in fact, written by a completely different person. You can purchase the full version of Another World for only $8.99. It's a lot of fun; I highly recommend checking out the demo, which you can find on

FHS Flagship robotics team aiming for St. Louis
Continuing to pass on knowledge they gained after a trip to the FIRST Robotics world/national competition in St. Louis in 2013, Farragut High School Flagship 3140 team leaders are ready to stack with the best of them.The goal is becoming the first FHS Flagship team ever to reach St. Louis as a regional champ.
"First of the FIRST I guess you could say," senior Josh Cook, 3140 chief communications officer, said about a 15-member core group putting in more than 30 hours per week since Jan. 3 building their robot, which is a six-week process.
Cook joined senior Kyle Parsley and junior Matt Fisher, Flagship's two joint chiefs who "run this program," among six 3140 teammates "on a scouting trip" to St. Louis two years ago. read more
FHS 2015 Class: five perfect ACT, one SAT
Five perfect ACT scores and one perfect SAT score from the Class of 2015, with dual perfect scores recorded by Jason Fu, has thrust Farragut High School into a new level of excellence."This is the first time I've ever seen both," Susan Bolinger, FHS director of school counseling and college counseling, said about Fu's perfect score in both tests.
"Only about a thousand students out of 1.85 million get a perfect score," Bolinger added. "Since they started keeping that data about ACT [perfect score is 36] this is the most Farragut's ever had in one year.
"I think it speaks volumes about the high school and the quality of education the students get here. We have a really strong faculty, and I think this reflects well on them." read more
Trent, Mosley, Reynolds tout balanced KCS calendar
Two Farragut principals and HVA principal Sallee Reynolds all agree: turning the school year into a balanced calendar, shorter summer break and longer spring and fall breaks, is the way to go."I've been advocating for it, I guess, for about 10 years," Farragut Middle School principal Danny Trent said.
"I think it would give kids and teachers some periodic breaks and then maybe if they weren't doing well on a particular skill then you could do some intervention and make up in that two-week period," he added.
Trent also said it would help "with some of the absences that we've been having. People are human, they need to take off and take care of family and other things." read more

Now if all that cash is burning a hole in your pocket, I suggest the following as sectors/companies where you might choose to park some money for a while.
Entertainment: Entertainment spending generally dips in the wake of bad economic news, but the dip generally doesn't last. Buying Sony (SNE) could be an excellent way to play the sequester. Sony's downside is somewhat minimized by its 2.2% dividend yield, and it stands to rise on anticipation as it announces more games for its upcoming Playstation 4 system.
Health Care/Insurance: Insurance and health care are traditionally considered defensive sectors, and for good reason: they are among the last things consumers choose to stop spending money on. Aetna (AET) offers an excellent way to play both these sectors. Aetna's earnings dipped a bit in the fourth quarter of 2012, but analysts see the company's earnings rising to their all-time high in 2013. If the stock price were to follow suit, it would climb to $57.73, a 24% increase from its current price of $46.54.
Delay unnecessary travel, especially international flightsMany of those responsible for our safety in the air, from air traffic controllers to Transportation Security Administration screeners, are going to be sidelined by sequestration. These reductions are going to make it very hard for airlines to fly as frequently as they would like, which means that you are not going to be able to fly as frequently as you like. If you try, you are not only going to find yourself facing long, aggravating travel snarls, but you will be responsible for contributing to an inherently unsafe situation. Furthermore, the highways are likely to be extra congested as well, as more travelers hit the roads to avoid flying.

Why Giants fans shouldn't worry
Giants' pass rush will generate pressure, and secondary has enough talent
If the 2012 New York Giants club had to be summed up in only one word after the first two weeks of the season, the word that would come to most minds would be "inconsistent." This is a long-standing trait for Tom Coughlin's New York squads, and it ends up making this team lean too often on generating miracle finishes.
While there is certainly more than a bit of truth to that perspective, there is ample evidence suggesting that a more accurate single-word description would be "adaptable."
The Giants used that adaptability last season to find ways to work around multiple personnel losses early, and it eventually vaulted Big Blue to four postseason wins and another Lombardi Trophy.
It's still too early to say that the Giants can repeat that late-season success, but there are more than a few reasons to believe they have the personnel and play-calling adaptability needed to turn around some of the problems currently facing them.
Right now, that adaptability would be most useful on the defensive side of the ball, since New York is struggling in many defensive metrics. The Giants rank 30th in the league in yards per attempt allowed (9.6), 30th in yards per completion (14.9) and tied for 26th in passing touchdowns allowed (five).
When a team is dealing with coverage issues of this caliber, there are three ways to go about fixing it: force turnovers, generate more pass rush and improve the coverage.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Keep paying higher taxes or face deep, painful cuts in services. Those are the options Californians are faced with.
But if the Democratic governor and Republican lawmakers can't reach a compromise, the people of California might not have a choice in the matter.
To help close the $26.6 billion budget shortfall the state is facing, Governor Jerry Brown wants to let residents vote on extending a tax hike in effect since 2009. But a month ago, he broke off talks with Republican lawmakers who blocked his push to put the tax measure on the ballot in June.
While the governor says he is still committed to letting the voters decide, he's likely to reveal a much more draconian spending plan, which won't factor in additional revenue from the tax extension, on May 16. That's when the state unveils its revised revenue and expenditure projections.
That budget will be balanced, Brown said in April.
In the meantime, he's still trying to drum up support for a tax vote by meeting with business, labor and community groups around the state.
"He still believes it's time for a check-in with the people," said H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the state Department of Finance.
At issue is tackling the Golden State's giant budget gap. Brown, who took office in January, offered a proposal that mixed major spending cuts to higher education, Medicaid and social service programs with $12 billion in additional tax revenue.
The tax measure included renewing a quarter-percentage point increase in personal income tax rates, which expired at the end of 2010, and maintaining a 1 percentage point bump in the sales tax, which lapses at the end of June. Under Brown's proposal, the higher rates would remain in effect for five years.
The legislature approved a portion of the governor's plan in March, reducing the budget deficit by $14 billion through spending cuts and fund transfers. The package whacked $1.7 billion from Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, and $1.1 billion from the state's university systems.
On the tax side, Brown needed at least four Republican lawmakers and all their Democratic peers to go along with his plan to call a special election in June. But negotiations fell apart after Republicans demanded concessions, including pension and regulatory reform and a spending cap.
The governor was hoping to have the matter settled by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, though it's not uncommon for California to start a new year without a budget in place. The last one wasn't passed until October.
Brown, however, has the people's support for a special election. Recent polls show that a majority of Californians approve of the governor's plan to address the budget through both spending cuts and tax increases. They also want a say in extending the tax hikes, though they are mixed about actually approving them.
"It's a war of public opinion now," said Jean Ross, executive director of the California Budget Project, a non-partisan fiscal reform group focused on low- and moderate-income residents.
Even if the tax measure makes it onto the ballot, voters may not support it, said Daniel J.B. Mitchell, professor of public policy at UCLA. That's because residents don't want to see cuts in government services, but they also don't want to pay more in taxes.
While Brown has refrained from issuing a dire "all-cuts" budget plan, others have offered insight into what would happen if tax hikes aren't extended.
Under one scenario outlined by the non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office, California's schools could lose $4.8 billion in funding. That could mean that class sizes would rise above 20 kids in the early grades and kindergarten would be restricted to those who are age 5, closing the door to 135,000 children.
Also, tuition at the California State University's schools could rise 10% and at the University of California campuses by 7%. And the teaching staff could be hit with $408 million in personnel reductions.
And state employees could suffer a 9.24% reduction in pay, equivalent to two furlough days per month, while seeing a 30% drop in state contributions to health care costs.
"[An] all-cuts [budget] is going to be an irreversible path forward that will leave a lot of tears in its wake," said Brown, when he signed the initial spending reduction bills in March.

The efficiency and helpfulness of staff and the hotels location in relation to the centre of St Helier
The hotel, its management and its staff were really excellent. The food in the bar is very good and the bar prices were acceptable. The bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of space, air conditioned and very clean and comfortable, the toiletries were of excellent quality . I would highly recommend this hotel.
Arrived to find we had a free upgrade and bags were immediately taken up to room for us. Staff were extremely pleasant and very helpful with all enquiries.in general a very pleasant stay in a hotel I would put at the top of my list should I return to Jersey for a stay. Which is a definate. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends.
The only thing I found unfortunate was the fact the restaurant was closed
Great staff. Constantly helpful. Comfortable well equipped room Good pool Fresh well stocked breakfast buffet The Bohemia restaurant
Pleasant staff, facilities generally
Tired in part. Dark and a little drab. Location poor from a room perspective. Rooms which are roadside are very noisy, need better double glazing!
Spa was great. Staff attentive and friendly. Very comfortable room. Quiet.
Car park difficult to navigate. Our Brie and cranberry sandwich in the Bohemia lounge was very average. Bread had clearly been defrosted in a microwave.
Extremely nice hotel! Staff were really really friendly. Spa was great and although didn't get to use the outside pool, the indoor one was just as good, if not better because it was heated =)
One of the maids was very heavy footed and very often woke us up. No baked beans with the cooked breakfast. Meals were a little on the expensive side.
the staff did their best under difficult circumstances.
The hotel advertised an award winning restaurant which was closed. Nor was their any room service. We still paid for five star hotel prices. Even breakfast was only a continental choice. The room was advertised as deluxe, infact it was small, hot and noisy. The television was dated and impossible to work as was the phone. We had to walk the streets to find a decent restaurant in dreadful weather when we wanted to use the spa and eat in the hotel restaurant. Impossible to find a nice restaurant that wasn't fully booked on the Friday and Saturday nights. we had only booked for the weekend. We were not told before we booked that the restaurant would be closed and the advert showed lots of pictures of the award winning dishes etc. which was why we chose that hotel.
Very friendly and helpful staff.Relaxing decor. Spa excellent.
TV didn't work
Great food, great location for town, shops and restaurants.
Staff great. Restaurant food amazing. Great location. Pool empty most of time.
Exterior of building very ugly/ no charm. Interior lacks charm/ no real sense of luxury.
Location Staff Cleanliness of room and comfort of room Swimming pool
Shower was excellent. Spa area ok. No sauna just steam rooms.
Woken at 2am by generator (?) noise. It stopped once we spoke with night concierge. Woken next night by returning guests at 130am as room over entrance and then woken by beeping of reversing delivery vans at 7am, so avoid room 207. Another couple in room 211 also heard noise following night and asked to be moved. TV reception was intermittent. Basin was at knee height - ridiculous design! No shower caps for women! No CD player.
Generally ok, nice shower comfortable bed.
There was a constant droning sound like a generator all nite. Tv didn't work very well. Paid an extra £30 for what transpired to be a continental breakfast which was def not worth the money. Far better paying for basic room and ordering from the menu.
Staff were really helpful Really relaxing place to stay
Too many children in the spar facility
One of the best restaurants I have eaten in. Very centrally placed and very comfortable.
Only very minor things. The house keeping staff were a little 'out' with their timings of making up the room and turning down. The bar area was on the cold side for comfort.
The staff were outstanding and accommodations were nice and modern also good food.
Terrible choice of TV program options, hardly any channel choice and TV's not working properly. For the money charged and quality of hotel they should install cable or satellite TV.
The room was super and the power shower and bathroom lovely. Elemis products were great. Smart cocktail bar with good quality cocktails. A small spa but worth a visit.
They need to get a sign-the hotel is a little off the beaten track but the restaurant Bohemia had a bigger focus than the hotel entrance. Breakfast is continental. Disappointing for the money and not highlighted when you book on line or I would have chosen a full breakfast included.

On Weekend Roundup
@adorable-eggplant Ugh the summer transition was brutal. We were doing great doing great high of 80 high of 80 then bam summer. Why do people even live in Texas?
I don't regret it but I've spent the last pointing accusing fingers at myself in the mirror for knowingly taking a job in an un-air-conditioned warehouse. In May. In Texas. What was I thinking‽
On Friday Open Thread
So I've been at my new job for a week now and I'm just sort of getting progressively more paranoid. I do sooo much less work than at Target. I'm sort of constantly afraid that I'm going to get fired any minute on the grounds that oh it turns out they didn't really need another worker.
I mean as terrible of a job as entry level retail is I know that I'm damn good value for money and thus basically will never be fired for anything short of punching customers in the throat while stealing iphones and sexually harassing my bosses.
I mean I'm doing my job at the warehouse and I'm doing it well but I can't shake the feeling that they're going to notice that they have 2 people doing a 1.5 person job... hopefully it's just been a slow week.

@Onymous no no, I mean I've been working at Target for the last 18 months, that's ~11-1200 a month after taxes. This (just a warehouse gig) depending on taxes? 2-300 a month more.
Plus I'mma try to keep working Target on the weekends and that would be another 250-400 a month.

Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin said that losing Saturday's 'derby' against Real Madrid would not entail his team giving up in the race to win the coveted Spanish La Liga championship.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has criticised what he called FIFA`s political decision not to include former team mate Luis Suarez on their shortlist for this year`s Ballon d`Or award as the world`s best footballer.
Real Madrid`s decision to sell midfielders Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria left many scratching their heads and consecutive La Liga defeats as well as a reverse to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup set alarm bells ringing at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti hailed his side after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Karim Benzema gave them a well deserved 3-1 win over arch rivals FC Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Barcelona striker Luis Suarez described his return to action from a four-month ban for biting as bittersweet after the Catalans suffered their first league defeat of the season 3-1 away to Real Madrid on Saturday.
Real Madrid took the spoils in the first El Clasico of the season as Luis Suarez`s Barcelona debut ended in a 3-1 defeat.
Luis Suarez`s Barcelona debut ended in defeat as Real Madrid cut the gap on the La Liga leaders to just a point as they came from behind to win El Clasico 3-1 on Saturday.
In the next couple of hours, sporting world will be taken by a certain El Clasico and the noise emanating from the historic Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. Inside the cauldron, possibly two of the greatest clubs in the world – Barcelona and Real Madrid – will try to something more than just winning the game and brownie points.
Biting opponents may be appalling but it is harmless and should not be punished as severely as a bad tackle, says controversial Barcelona striker Luis Suarez.
El Clasico is without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest fixture on the annual football calendar. The history, drama and fervor linked to this duel is second only to a FIFA World Cup final. Over the years, some of world football's greatest players have donned the Real and Barca colors to convert this match into a sporting spectacle. As Real Madrid get set to host Barcelona for the first El Clasico of the 2014-15 season, we take down memory lane to a unique moment in the history of this fierce rivalry.
Luis Suarez is free to make his long-awaited debut for Barcelona when the La Liga leaders travel to face Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of the season on Saturday.
Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he is more focused on victory than outshining his Barcelona rival Lionel Messi in Saturday's El Clasico in their La Liga clash.
As Luis Suarez makes a highly anticipated comeback to action for his first competitive match for Barcelona, the stage is set for the Uruguayan to begin a new chapter with a bang. It's El Clasico on Saturday, a tie Suarez will look forward to and make an impact instantly. Real Madrid are in fine form and the tie offers much for another enthralling game at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Giant defender Jeremy Mathieu emerged from the football shadows four months ago to get a star billing in the heart of the Barcelona defence but it has been a battle since to win over some of the faithful at the Spanish giants.
Luis Suarez feared he had destroyed his career and that Barcelona would not want to sign him following his four-month ban for biting at the World Cup.
Barcelona need to avoid getting sucked into the Spanish obsession with El Clasico when they face Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi notched his 250th La Liga goal to move one off the all-time league scoring record as leaders Barcelona won 3-0 against Eibar on Saturday ahead of next weekend`s Clasico with Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo maintained his blistering scoring form with two goals as Real Madrid warmed up for the El Clasico with a 5-0 victory over Levante in La Liga on Saturday.
As a 17-year-old, Lionel Messi made his debut for Barcelona ten years ago against city rivals Espanyol in a Catalan derby. Since then, the diminutive Argentine has gone on to create football records once considered impossible.
While Real Madrid`s fearsome attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema has become known collectively as "BBC" in Spain, Barcelona are confident "MNS" can be at least as lethal.

I don't see enough stories about Japanese anime/manga fans and gamers who vocally dislike the trend of making everything moe or kawaisa, or rebuking culturally insensitive, socially unaware otaku. It's refreshing, to be honest.

Feck it, @Joe!
Sandwich board, "Join us at http://www.beatlesbible.com" written on it, turn to camera and wave.
It's not like it's your birthday or anything!
1 May 2011
@Joe i'd suggest causing a scene and then when the media turn up with the authorities start screaming the name of this site whilst baring your chest to unviel the address scrawled across. Either that or tattoo the site details to your backside and then moon to the camera for a good 10 seconds or so. The foootage will go global.

Annadog40, IveJustSeenAFaceoThese are all absolutely fantastic ideas, but I think I'll merely cross the street, enter the studio, hand over my ticket and take my place at the talk. I'm not sure I really want to be arrested on my birthday (or any other day). Sorry.

I was! Sandwich boards are not unusual in London. People get paid to wear them.
I toned down! My first idea was, wearing the sandwich board, to have him dancing across the crossing, with the sandwich board, in Hare Krishna robes and with a shaved head, and - once making it to the right side of the road - cartwheeling back across the crossing (while praying he'd remembered underwear!).
I, instead, went with something much more subtle!

Yay! It isn't raining. Looks like a beautiful morning in London.
I see you took the train in. Nice. Wonderful Twitter pictures. Thanks!
EDIT: The crossing cam is archived. Start watching at 10:34:43 for Joe coming around the corner by the bushes. Then he switches cameras and goes by the pole twice to take a picture...continued in next post.
EDIT2: So how this happened. I thought I saw you right there where you are in the last part close to the cam. Then I started kicking myself for not doing a screen capture. Then I saw your Twitter pictures. Then I looked to see if the stream is archived and figured out where you were standing to get the Twitter pics. I used my cell phone to video the video.
EDIT: TheOneBeatleManiac did a better job down thread of capturing the cam video. Thanks!
The stickers all over the pole in your Twitter pic helped jog my thinking and spurred me on to find you in the cam archives video. I could see that the pole had stickers all over it in the cam video.

By the pole on the left hand side of the road, just to the left of the dark van. Joe is partially blocked by the pole, and he has his arms up taking a picture. The picture taken from here looks like one of the pictures you put on Twitter, Joe.
Oh, I see, in the video when you first walk out of view of the cam is when you took the picture of the studio. Then you come back into view and cross the street. Then you turn around and take another picture of the crossing before walking towards the cam where we see you clearly.
Joe, alone on the zebra crossing.
Our Happy Birthday boy in the bottom middle of the picture!!!!!!!!! Thank you for looking at the camera, @Joe !!!!
