Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, OK
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Los Angeles Lakers are moving on -- battered and bruised, but not beaten.
Pau Gasol tipped in a missed jumper by Kobe Bryant with a half-second left and the defending champion Lakers survived a late comeback effort by Oklahoma City and eliminated the Thunder 95-94 in Game 6 of the first-round playoff series on Friday night.
Artest Proves To Be Durant's Kryptonite
Ron Artest shut down Kevin Durant throughout the series, and was even better on Friday as the Lakers knocked the Thunder out of the playoffs. Here were Durant's numbers in the series.
Games 1-5 | Friday | |
Overall | 35.1 | 25.0 |
Jumpers | 38.3 | 25.0 |
Near Basket | 20.0 | 25.0 |
"This is the playoffs. This is what it's about," Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson said. "When you have teams that have won 50 games in the course of a season like this Thunder team did, they have a sense of pride about them. They can play a game that's obviously not far off of what our mark is or was this season.
"We said it was going to be tough, and it was a tough series."
The Lakers were nearly pushed to the limit by eighth-seeded Oklahoma City, which won only 23 games last season before a 27-win improvement that was the best in the NBA. The Thunder climbed out of a seven-point hole with a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter but were held without a point over the final 2 1/2 minutes.
Gasol crashed to the rim at the right block and tipped in Bryant's shot, then pumped both fists in celebration.
McMenamin: D Makes Day
The Lakers had some scary moments, but they know that defense of their title starts with defense, writes ESPNLosAngeles.com's Dave McMenamin. Story
Russell Westbrook missed a desperation 3-pointer at the final buzzer for Oklahoma City.
The top-seeded Lakers face a quick turnaround before facing fifth-seeded Utah in Game 1 of the second round on Sunday in Los Angeles.
"It's just sweet to win a ball game no matter what and to be able to close these guys out that were playing really, really well against us," Gasol said.
Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 26 points on a dreadful 5 for 23 shooting night. Westbrook had 21 points and nine assists. The two combined to score every point in the rally that put Oklahoma City up 94-91 but then couldn't close out the game.
"I'm a competitor. I want to win every game I play," Durant said. "I want to be a champion, and stuff like this hurts. I work so hard, we work so hard as a group, that I think that every time we step on the floor we should win."
A Night to Forget
Kevin Durant turned in one of the worst shooting performances in NBA history in a loss that ended a best-of-seven series.
FG % | Series | |
Kenyon Martin | 13.0 | '03 NBA Finals |
Paul Arizin | 18.2 | '62 Div. Finals |
Kevin Durant | 21.7 | '10 1st Round |
*Minimum 20 FGA
It nearly happened.
After missing 17 of his first 20 shots, Durant broke through with a 3-pointer from the right wing that ignited the Thunder. Westbrook followed with a jumper, and his three-point play off a putback of his own miss put Oklahoma City ahead 92-91 with 3:04 to play.
Durant added a driving layup, and Bryant answered with an 18-foot jumper from the left side to make it 94-93 with 2:12 left. It then took Los Angeles five chances to deliver the knockout punch.
"It was tough to get a bucket because both defenses were just playing super hard and giving it all out there," said Gasol, who was scoreless in the second half before the tip-in. "The last shot, I kept battling, kept hustling. I didn't have a good second half, I didn't have my best shooting night but I continued to work and continued to be effective rebounding and just keeping balls alive.
"Luckily, I pursued that ball and put it in and we won the ballgame."
Bryant scored 32 points, Gasol had nine points and 18 rebounds and the Lakers' reserves outscored Oklahoma City's 30-16.
"Everyone expected us to be this greatest team since sliced bread, but we aren't playing like that," said Ron Artest, who was assigned to defend Durant throughout the series. "It's great for us to get through it and understand that we're not the best thing since sliced bread. We actually have to work."
The extended series took its toll on a Los Angeles squad that already was nursing more than its fair share of injuries. Andrew Bynum played the second half with a brace on his right knee after he hyperextended it earlier in the game. Lamar Odom had a brace on his right knee, too. Artest sported a modified T-shirt with padding on his left shoulder that's gotten a workout against Durant, the youngest player to win the NBA scoring title.
Bryant has a sore knee, ankle and index finger. Bynum just got back from a strained Achilles' tendon that cost him the final 13 games of the regular season.
But less than 40 hours after finishing off the Thunder, the Lakers were due to start the second round back at home.
"We'll be ready," Bryant said.
Game notes
Phil Jackson came up with an unexpected answer when asked why visiting teams are generally more vulnerable. "You have to remember these men are out there in their underwear, in their shorts. These aren't like the old days but they are pretty scantily clad, and they are, you know, in front of their fans. If you're at all self-conscious, there you are." He also noted bench players typically perform better at home. ... Durant said he's noticed an uptick in children who come to his door looking for autographs since the playoffs started -- and he's all for it. "If I was a little kid and I knew an NBA player lived down the street, I'd do the same thing. Hopefully, they continue to come because I like things like that." ... Among those in attendance were Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips, Barry Switzer, Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims and Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Bart Conner.

Introduction — continued
Here I've removed the screws holding the top cover and rotated the cover up and off. The black box with a white center that's mounted to the cover is an air filter for the breather hole. The breather ensures that there is no pressure differential between the inside and outside of the drive. However, a simple hole would allow dust, smoke, and other such contaminants to get inside the drive, causing Very Bad Things to happen. Thus, we have a filter.
It's difficult to see the platter itself in this shot, but you can at least see the ring directly under the drive head. You might think that this ring indicates the head has contacted the surface of the platter (i.e. a head crash) but actually, this is an area of the platter reserved for "parking" the head when the drive is powered down.
Normally, the head swings back and forth across the surface of the platter to read data from it, but as soon as power is removed, the head automatically pivots over the reserved area of the platter. That way, if the drive experiences a physical shock while the computer is off, the head doesn't come in contact with a part of the platter that holds actual data.
Here's a final close-up of the drive that gives you a slightly better view of the platter. Believe it or not, the surface of the platter is mirror-like, though it doesn't show very well in these photos. In higher capacity drives, there might be additional platters stacked on the spindle, but this is only a 40GB drive, so it makes do with a single platter. You can also see flecks of dust on the platter itself. It would be a disturbing sight if the thing weren't already garbage.
So there's a quick breakdown (literally) of a modern hard drive. Don't try this at home, kids. Well, unless it's an IBM 75GXP or 60GXP, in which case you can tell yourself that it was only a matter of time anyway.

CommunityAmerica Credit Union announced that after 42 years in the credit union industry, Chief Administrative Officer Pat Yokley is retiring.
Minnesota Credit Union Network, Washington, announced that Mark D. Cummins, president/CEO
To hear the lament of the Missouri Credit Union Association, it was a "bolt out of the blue" when the state highway agency last week notified 10 small credit unions that they must vacate their offices by Sept. 30.
NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz said today the agency hopes to announce a plan for corporate legacy assets by the end of June, before final corporate regulations are released.
Negotiations to forestall the shuttering of 10 credit union offices in facilities of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Department continued Friday amidst a renewed industry push to get backing from lawmakers and Gov. Jay Nixon.
In a move apparently traced to the state's budget shortfall, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission voted this week to sever ties and fire employees at 10 small credit unions located in district offices across the state.
Credit unions will have six additional weeks to submit comment letters on the NCUA's proposed rule to revamp the application process for community charters.
The Wisconsin Credit Union House, patterned after its Washington counterpart, will get its first major political tryout in two weeks.
In separate parts of the country, brigades of credit union volunteers are joining the Homes for Our Troops cause in bigger numbers this month spearheading a registration drive to sign up carpenters, contractors and roofers in Columbia, Mo.

Twenty One Seniors to be Recognized
By John Antonik for WVUsports.com
November 29, 2012 03:46 PM
And then there were 21. For those of you who went to college, I'm sure you can remember that first day of summer orientation when some person of authority spoke to you about the things that you needed to do to remain a college student for, say, four, five, six, or, in the case of you Tommy Callahans out there, seven or eight years.
Yes, they also call those eight-year guys doctors, too.
Nevertheless, I recall pretty clearly the lady standing up in front of us and asking all of us to look around the huge auditorium in which we were sitting while casually mentioning that about half the people in the room wouldn't be around for graduation. Now more than 25 years later, thinking back to the cast of characters that were running around the hallways of Dadisman Hall my freshman year at WVU in 1986, her assessment was right on the money.
Well, there are 21 West Virginia University football players who will be running through the tunnel one final time this Saturday afternoon so that we can continue to have our tailgates and our watch parties while enjoying the weekly fall ritual we call Mountaineer football.
These are the guys who stuck it out – through the good times and the bad, the coaching changes, the conference switches, the bowl victories, the disappointing losses and whatever else popped up during four or five of the most important years of their lives.
"I tell recruits all the time and just different people that college is where you transition from being a boy to a man," explained senior running back
Shawne Alston
. "You're on your own. You start living in your own apartment. You've got to pay your bills and start setting up different time management schedules. Your mom is not waking you up for school in the morning, so it's where you start your transition into being a grown up."
So who are these guys?
Well, they come from everywhere – West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Texas … you name it. Some come here shy and introverted; others arrived attempting to be brash, outspoken and seemingly tough – at least as brash and as tough as any 18-year-old can be.
They are tall, short, thin, plump, well-chiseled, chubby, gangly ... but most assuredly all of them were unsure of themselves, just like we were when we were 18.
Some arrived with bad hair and bad clothes and are leaving with bad hair and bad clothes; others with less hair than they would like. They wear their headphones like jewelry and carry around their smartphones like it is the most important possession in the world to them, which they are, considering how little money they have in their pockets and how much of a link to the outside world those devices are.
Conversations with them oftentimes include long, awkward pauses while they check their phones for messages, texts, tweets, Facebook posts and other notifications. The video games they play are much more intimate and personal than the ones we grew up with. Our generation had to patiently wait among a group of kids lined up behind a refrigerator-sized contraption like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong to unload a pocket full of quarters and unburden our minds. Today, they just fire up their phones and start clicking away.
Yet in many ways, these kids today are much smarter and more sophisticated than we were, much more aware of their surroundings and more in tune with the world around them. They are also keenly more aware of themselves and what other people are thinking (and saying) about them – thanks, of course, to modern technology.
And anonymity has never been more anonymous than it is today. Years ago when I was in school, if somebody wanted to call out a player they had to at least be man enough to do it in front of him. If the editor of the student newspaper wrote something derogatory about the football team, he or she was likely to expect a knock on their dorm room door the next day to have a discussion with half the team about it.
Now, many fans can hide behind their computer screens and serve up their opinions – mostly based on half-truths and opinions - at will and without consequence to the Internet message boards and chat rooms.
That is the environment these guys are required to grow up in today, oftentimes under the same scrutiny we dole out to our political leaders and elected officials, and most of them managing to carry on with such class and dignity that it really is uplifting to those of us who observe them on a daily basis and wonder how we would have reacted under similar circumstances and at a similar age.
Read this bit of wisdom from senior quarterback
Geno Smith
: "Mentally, as a person I've grown with years and age, and I think that's something we all do, we all mature," he said. "I've been able to do it in front of the Mountaineer media, fans, coaches and staff. It's been good for me, it's life-changing; it has helped me grow into a better, older, wiser man. And I'm thankful for it."
Smith also understands that what he does and how he performs on Saturdays has great meaning to Mountaineer football fans everywhere.
"Being here has helped me realize just how important it is to the community, to everyone around here, to the players, to the staff – from the cooks in the back to the people who help us with academics – it's just an important program to everyone, and everyone needs to come together to make it work," he said. "That's a blessing, and a good thing about the program here."
Those read like words coming from a 44-year-old man, not someone 21 or 22 with most of his life in front of him.
So when these 21 guys run out of the tunnel for the final time on Saturday afternoon, be sure to give them a big hand for all of the touchdowns they've scored, all of the records they've broken and all of the wonderful things that they have accomplished during their West Virginia University careers.
But also be sure to give them a tip of the cap for seeing it through and finishing what they started. That's one of life's great lessons that all of us can appreciate - no matter how old or young we are.

Yeahyeahyeah I know "2014 sucked SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard, 2015 can only be better"
While I agree that the industry with its sheananigans and some internet trolls have been roughing things up a bit, 2014 wasn't a bad year when it comes to games. I mean....Nuclear Throne was released and OKOKOK I'll shut up about that game. 2014 wasn't a year that was very top heavy, but it was excellently when it comes to broadth and depth. We had a lot great games in nearly all genres.
With that said, 2015 is already in full swing and boy-oh-boy are we in for a treat of a year when it comes to gaming (if every game turns out to live up to the potential....unlike 2014).
So without further ado, here are my personally most anticipated games that are set to come out this year.
15. The Banner Saga 2 (PC)
There is not much to be said about Banner Saga that hasn't been said before: it's a gorgeous game with a stellar soundtrack, that blends norse mythology with enough lore of its own into one of the most engaging games of last year.
We are now getting more of that and that makes me an extremely happy Zer0, as I'd love to dive into this world again.
14. Bloodborne (PS4)
As a big fan of the Souls games and even Armored Core to some extent, I'm always curious for something new from From Software.
Bloodborne looks like everything, a Souls Fan could wish for in addition to a new setting and what seems to be a more movement based combat system. So not only can you break your oppenent's counter stane this time, you can also give him a reassuring shotgun-blast to the face afterwards...that alone should get you excited (if the Victorian England didn't already)
13. Cuphead (PC, XBone)
I love technological advance. All the new stuff it enriches our minds with is mind-blowing. I mean: I'm 28 and if you told my elementary school (or hell: even my early high-school) me, what we would have in 2014, it would have blown my mind. Why am I writing all this?
BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR CUPHEAD TO EXIST, a game, that looks like a 1920s cartoon and features the adventures of Cuphead and Mugboy, who embark on a journey to pay back a bedt to the devil.
12. Love you to Bits (PC, iOS, Android)
This one took me by surprise, but whenever I think about games I want to play this year, this one pops up. Is it because of the wonderful art-style? The captivating music? The fact, that it's made by the core team behind Tiny Thief? All of it?
Nevertheless, this game just makes me too curious to pass up. Also, you play a human explorer who has to find the pieces of his robot girlfriend who got destroyed to piece her back together again....how kawaii is that?
11. Hyper Light Drifter (PC, XBone, PS4, PS Vita, WiiU, Ouya)
Man, nowadays we get bombarded with "retro" action games but Hyper Light Drifter has been catching my attention for some years now with a certain blend of "retro" that just strikes all the right chords in my Nostalgia.
10. No Man's Sky (PS4, PC)
This is a huge gamble. If this game reaches its potential, this could be one of the big singleplayer-multiplayer-crossover experiences for years to come....or it could crash and burn (pun intended), which makes me kinda want to delete ot from this list....but damn, we get so few space games (luckily a few are coming or out now). PLEASE BE GOOD!!!!!
9. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS)
Yeah....basically this.
8. Ori and the blind Forest (XBone, PC)
I initially didn't have this game on tab at all. Then, E3 2014 rolled around and if I'm completely honest: this is the game that (almost) impressed me the most. The art style alone has so much charm, it's impossible to not be at least curious what the big black guy and the small white lad are up to. Getting a serious "Dust - An Elysian Tail"-vibe from this and I'm totally fine with that.
7. The entire Nintendo Line Up
Throw me under the bus for cheating, but after the (great) year Nintendo has had in 2014, they seemingly decided to kill it this year. I couldn't pick one single game out of the following: Codename Steam, Devil's Third, new Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Wooly World, a new STARFOX (for Fox's sake, FINALLY), new Zelda, Mario Maker.
WTF Nintendo? Other companies plan to release that many killer apps over the course of five years....I love you. Gotta get a WiiU this year.
6. Batman Arham Knight (PS4, XBone, PC)
I. Love. The Arkham Games. I could even find some entertainment in Arkham Origins, though that really wasn't even in the same area code as the stellar first two entries. And guess what: Rocksteady is making this one again so OMGOMGOMGOMG, can't wait to ballet-stomp more evil faces.
5. Persona 5 (PS3, PS4)
When I first booted up Persona 4 Golden, my reaction was "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech". Too much pastelly-highschool bullshit.
Then I played it and it is one of the best RPGs I ever played and I might even put it into my favorite games of all times. The pacing was perfect, the characters endearing and believable and it was a game, that didn't want to go the "American Pie"-route, but respect its audience in showing us.
....oh yeah, the sequel is coming.
4. Tokyo Twillight Ghost Hunters (PS3, PS Vita)
A visual novel-type game about Ghost Hunters in Tokyo (duh), that actually features a lot of ghostbustin' gameplay and RPG-elements, it would seem.
And if that doesn't sell you yet: it's a collaboration of Arc System Works, the guys behind Guilty Gear and BlazBlue) and Toybox Inc. of Deadly Premonition fame.
Still not enough to convince you? How does "a Soundtrack by Nubuo Uematsu" sound?
3. Yakuza 5 (PS3)
After nearly 3 years (!!!) Sega decides to bring this over. I imported it some time ago and played it, yet my Japanese is not yet good enough for a complex game like this and I ran into some kind of wall where I didn't know what to do.
As someone, who thinks Yakuza 4 should heavily be considerated as the best game of the last console generation, this news makes me very, VERY happy.
2. Hotline Miami 2 (PC, PS3, PS4, PS Vita)
Well, this actually was my most anticipated game of 2014. After finishing its predecessor on PC, PS3 and PS Vita, I was very eager to play more. The game got delayed and so it had to measure up against the game in first place, but that is no knock on HM2.
1. Metal Gear Solid 5 - The Phantom Pain (PC, PS3, PS4, XBox 360, XBone)
...how could it be anything else? After Ground Zeroes and the breathtaking E3 Trailer. After all that trickled down the news channels over the course of last year, I feel rather comfortable to say, that I have very little doubt about what MGS5 is going to be for me: a serious GOTY contender.
I love the Metal Gear series as a whole and oh boy: This looks like the msot advanced game in series history. Hype doesn't even begin to describe my feelings.
So, those are my Top 15 most anticipated games for this year. Tend to disagree (because OF COURSE YOU DO)? Leave your comments and let's have ourselves a nice argument, before we all bow before the glory of MGS V ;)
Well a lot of people have put out their obligatory 2014 lists and while this might not have been gaming's finest year, there have been many a great games this year.
HOWEVER, I noticed one big omission on most lists.
Nuclear Throne, for the uninitiated, is a roguelike, top-down Shooter, where you play as one of many adorable mutants, each with their own abilities (and disabilities) to reach the titular sitting furniture. This might sound a bit Run-of-the-mill these days, but trust me when I say: this is one of the most fun games of the year. Period.
I was having a conversation with Shade of Light yesterday, who received one of the gift copies and he literally said: "This game is amazing. I don't know if I can live with myself knowing, that I haven't paid money for this." THAT's how amazing this game is.
But I see, you won't take my word for it, so let me prove to you, why Nuclear Throne is literally better than any of your favorite games this year.
Bayonetta 2
What better place to start with than Dtoid's game of the year. Undeservedly so. "Oh why?" you ask. "It has so fast-paced gameplay and such moves and ASS".
Yeah, I give it that, it has ASS, but so has Nuclear Throne. NT also has THRONE BUTT which is infinitely more useful than normal witch butt. What does Bayonetta's Ass do for you instead of distracting you? Yeah, guess so. It distracts you in a game, where you have to be focussed....GREAT FUCKIN' JOB PLATINUM. In Nuclear Throne, EVERY character can acquire the magnificence of a Throne Butt and instead of distracting you, it is there to help you by enhancing your abilities. That's right. Your butt makes you literally a better person. Or Mutant. Or Fish.
Winner: Nuclear Throne
The Banner Saga
So yeah, the world is coming to an end by the hand of giant stone golems that are really hard to kill. Allow me a quick laugh at the sheer notion of this being a problem.
Listen son, in NT, the world already HAS ended. Yeah, that makes every achievement you have in your little viking world like 20x less gooder.
Also: Stone Guys are a problem? Seriously? Allow me anther quick laugh. In the already apocalypsed world you fight freakin' diamonds.....THAT SHOOT LASERS AT YOU! AND THEY DON'T NEED LASER EYES FOR THAT BECAUSE THEIR WHOLE BODY IS LIKE A GIANT LENS LIKE THAT PINK FLOYD ALBUM COVER! Not only do you fight and DEFEAT enemies that are made of the hardest material known to man and mutant, but those things fight back with one of the awesomest materials known to man and mutant. Lasers. Oh and they are not bosses, just regular enemies you meet not even halfway through.
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Terrorists are bad, 'Murica is good. Such a simple message gave way to deeper thoughts on my end. What do they want to hide with all the explosions and particle effects; the blood and guts and fake names?
Then it struck me: You know who else enjoyed video games? HITLER! Yeah, I said it. And since you're playing as some super heroes, you're basically SUPER HITLER! Don't you see? You are WORSE THAN HITLER!
Don't be worse than Hitler.
Winner: Nuclear Throne (for not being Hitler)
The Evil Within
So you are this super-suave dude Sebastian Castellanos, whose last name sounds like a synonym for testicles. He goes around the mind of this super evil dude who wants to do stuff.
This, however, BEGS the question, how awesome this evil guy's mind really is. Let's look at Nuclear Throne again: Oh, there is a guy, who can make corpses EXPLODE with the power of his mind alone. That produces NEW CORPSES which are instantly ready for MORE EXPLOSIONS! Can that super evil dude do that?
He can't? Then why the hell does this Testicle guy have so many problems with him? What a milquetoast douchebag!
And mind you, you CAN BE the guy who does the whole EXPLOSION-thingy. (sorry, it's impossible to express the magnitude of this word without writing in capital letters)
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
The name alone is an easy win here for Nuclear Throne but that is not, what puts it over the edge.
It's one easy fact. One simple detail: you kill a senator. Not just any Senator. A Senator of the US of mothertruckin' A!!! A visionary dude who's not only willing to do, what it takes, but also STARRED ON HIS COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM AS A FULLBACK!!! Given that nowadays even Punters are more important that Fullbacks, this achievement is marvelous. AND YOU STRAIGHT-OUT MURDER HIM YOU EMO-HAIRED TERRORIST!!!!
Winner: Nuclear Throne (for not being a terrorist)
Pokemon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Rho Rubble
So you managed to catch a powerful being. Your ripped it out of its natural habitat, force it to live confined in a tiny ball (think of its joints for just one freakin' second) and enslave it to fight for you. You are like Michael Vick and nobody likes Michael Vick. You are an abusive motherfucker and you should feel ashamed.
Not so in Nuclear Throne. There are also things like a plant or a crystalisk lifeform, but they are FREE. And if we know one thing America has told us, it's that FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
Winner: Nuclear Freedom Throne
Bravely Default
This doesn't even count. It's a 2013 Release. 2012 even, if you count Japan and no: If AmeriSTUPIDS can't complain hard enough for it to be released earlier, they don't have a say.
Winner: Nuclear Throne (by (bravely) default)
Assassin's Creed: Unity
These two games have more in common, than you might see at first glance: Both feature horrible mutations, killing other mutations in a world that has long since abandoned the rules of physics.
That, however, makes us compare. Can the AC:U mutants make corpses explode with their mind? (a rather handy ability for assassin's who need to hide the bodies, dontcha think?) No? Oh.....
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Driveclub PS+
Can you play Nuclear Throne the way it was intended? Yup.
Can you say the same of DriveClub PS+? Nope.
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Rambo - The video game
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Drakengard 3
Drakengard has a lot of things going for it, gotta give it that. It has a singing dragon who pisses on your doorstep and most importantly: dick jokes and Innuendo galore.
However, there is one thing strangely absent. Drakengard 3 features a baffling lack of butt. As stated above: BUTT is important for games and since THRONE BUTT is basically a killer argument by those standards, Drakengard 3 can't keep up.
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Shovel Knight
Oh, so now we compare two retro-pixel style games. Both even have a Shovel as a weapon in it, with Shovel Knight even using it to traverse the various landscapes.
YAWNARAMA! Who needs a jump? And why does he need a Shovel for it? The Shovel is a tool for killing. Nuclear THrone understands that. You don't need to jump; you don't need the shovel for it. Dead Enemies can't hurt you, whether you jump or not.
Winner: Nuclear Throne
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Oh come on now. What filthy casual are you, that you opn your whore mouth for this.......thing? Being killed by an enemy and just returning to him like it was nothing? Where are we here? Freakin' Ikea Smaland or what?
If your mutation dies, it's your fuckin' fault. You don't get to just leisurely stroll back there. The postapocalyptic wastelands of the future are no playground. They teach you hard, brutal and menacing life lessons.
The only Nemesis there is YOU and YOU alone....and if you can't pull it off FUCK YOU! BACK TO THE START AND TRY AGAIN!
So there, I proved it without a doubt. I know this all, because of science. Are there other titles you have in mind? Tell me and I will gladly prove all your theories wrong.
Ohai guys, how ya doin'?
Fine, I hope. So let's all welcome the new Year and hope for the best, video-game-related, but also in personal matters because let's face it: if the world is falling apart, it's just not the same.
Initially, I wanted to post this blog on New Years Day but the year started exceptionally well for me with my Scoliosis rearing its ugly head and me filled to the brim with painkillers. Since I don't take pills very often, this led to my intestines burning with the wrath of a thousand suns yesterday, so yeah: I wasn't able to write a new-years-blog beforehand.
The year 2014 was, for me, a rather successful one, with me finding a new job (FINALLY!!!) and at least no catastrophes on a personal level. So I sincerely hope that 2015 can keep up the trend and I hope, that your situations are changing for the better as well (or stay the way they are if they're good...never touch a running system).
I've already planned a 2014-blog, though that's going to take some time, since I plan on making a ranking of every game I played...and yeah, there are a few ones left I want to get at least a quick look on, before I make a final judgement. Wolfenstein: The new Order is the biggest one I have left to tackle, but it's already in the mail. However, don't expect it until mid- to end of January I guess. I played around 60 games methinks and this will take some time.
What I will, however, release earlier is a blog regarding the games of 2015 I'm looking forward to in one way or the other and DAMN, there is some stuff coming our way this year....and then there is of course Metal Gear SOlid V, which I'm already salivating so hard over, I'm afraid my body will be a dried out husk, when the game finally releases.
So yeah, that was basically all I wanted to sa......STOP
There is one other thing:
I've got my hands on four Steam-codes for the Director's Cut of Deadly Premonition that I really want to give away to you guys, so if you'd like one, leave a comment below.
Have a nice 2015 everybody and who could say it better than good old Bob Dylan?
Hey Gamergaters,
yes you there. You know, I'm a rather laidback guy. I don't really care a lot about other people's opinion, as I don't see how this affects what I like, but today, I learned about Operation Colbert and something in me snapped.
Are you guys serious? I mean...really? REALLY?
You clamor more "ethics in videogame journalism" but basically all you do is focus on some stuff you don't like, flame the referring folks and act like you are one big community or movement (speaking in "code", using the unilateral "we").
Newsflash: You're not. GamerGate is not a movement with an Agenda.
Videogames as a medium are not really new to controversy. I mean: basically every time there's a schol shooting, at least one finger points towards video games as the primary source of evil.
However, video games do have some internal problems that need attention, most of which come from the industry itself.
EA milks their franchises, forces beloved franchises into completely different directions, releases games that are a broken mess at realease and barely playable now and puts Microtransactions into full-price games.
Activision has to be the single most awful company in regards to how they treat their contractors with a guy at the helm who has NO idea, how to handle video games publicly.
Capcom refuses to see what made their franchises good in the first place and continues to screw up the once great likes of MegaMan or Resident Evil.
I could go on here but frankly, I don't have to. You know it, I know it: the AAA-industry in its current state is a colossal clusterfuck of bad ideas mixed with ADHD.
Yet all of this doesn't concern the fine people under the banner of GamerGate. THey unite because
....a woman slept with a man?
What basically kicked you off as the story that Zoe Quinn slept with Stephen Totilo and therefore got an article on Kotaku.
Really? I mean yeah, betraying someone who trusts you is a dick move on Quinn's end but well, I don't know how to break it to you guys: it happens. All the time. Everywhere in the world.
Of course this was not okay and yes, it makes Mr. Totilo's coverage of Depression Quest a wee bit shaky to tell the least. But wait...
Where do we know all that from? Ah yeah, a guy on the Internet. Yes that's right. You people, the shining example who demand ethics take ONE. SINGLE. SOURCE., a whiny and childishly overblown sob-story and TAKE. IT. AT. FACE. VALUE.
Why? Because it fits your agenda of course. ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDIN ME?
You say that you want more ethics, yet you send death and rape threats.
You want to be aggravated about something in the gaming industry? Be aggravated about the things I mentioned above. Be aggravated about reviewers who take money for positive coverage. Be aggravated about bought reviews, be aggravated about publishers shutting down reviewers who don't say what they want to hear and put them on blacklists. Be aggravated about overblown product placement.
But no, it's more easy to target other things.
You want games to be recognized as a serious medium, THAN GODDAMN ACT LIKE IT. You can't demand games being taken seriously, yet at the same time react like you do when someone points to something that's wrong. It's a part of growing up, besides: why exactly do you care? I mean:
ONE feminist says something on ONE topic in ONE area.
Holy Crap, do you guys have an idea of how big a field feminism is? Do me a favor and read stuff by Alice Schwarzer, Simone de Beauvoir or at least Terre des femmes and you get a picture of how wide a field this really is.
You say you are "publicly shamed". No, you are not. Nobody would be shaming you if you didn't act like total pricks on the internet. It's not even you that's being shamed but particualr things in particular games.
But guess what: even if they are; even if your favorite game gets degraded because of whatever...does it take your enjoyment away? If yes, why? You can still enjoy it you know?
You scream for more diversity when it comes to games, yet when something like "Gone Home" rolls around, you say that it's not a game.
You want to be taken seriously, yet you act like a two-year old who's favorite toy got stolen.
And you even do it here. On Destructoid. The same page, where the likes of Jim Sterling, Anthony Burch, Ashly Burch or more recently guys like Holmes or Hansen have ALWAYS been outspoken against the same stuff you "criticise".
If you look at what you want to achieve, look again at how you actually try to achieve it. You are not the Illuminati, stop acting like it and actually use arguments.
Or even better: realize what you're really doing and what you pretend to be doing.
This is not a viable protest-movement, it's a bunch of uber-conservative pricks who choose to be miserable on purpose and to be part of at least one group.
That's not legit, it's pathetic.

Coffee CultureCoffee is coffee, some people say, but try telling that to the fanatics in line at Abraço, often saluted as serving the finest coffee drinks in the City. The silky cortado, an espresso cut with warm milk and served in a glass, is unparalleled. (It tastes even better alongside a slice of sweet-savory olive-oil cake.) Though a confining vortex, it's a convivial scene thanks to co-owner Jamie McCormick, the jocund master of ceremonies. Another caffeine-infused magnet is Mud. The name is a misnomer, since Mud's signature blend is rich, sweet and not in the least muddy. The business began with a Mudtruck parked at Astor Place, followed a few years later by the Mudspot, a cozy, stationary hangout that is mere blocks away. Serious coffee drinkers will also find paradise at the sweet little Bluebird Coffee Shop and at the two East Village locations of Ninth Street Espresso, where the baristas are passionate about their beans and foster a quiet environment to contemplate blue-chip brews.

David Aaronovitch is a gifted commentator, and fearless in speaking his mind. How his tireless defence of the Iraq invasion has gone down in his native Hampstead, I can only imagine, for Aaronovitch is not a man to trim.
It is nearly 14 years since I first met Omar Mahmood Abu Omar, the man known to the world as Abu Qatada.
He was sitting on the carpeted floor of a book-lined room in north-west London, every bit the picture of a man of Islamic learning. I remember him as a jolly, avuncular figure, gently spoken and charismatic.
An "insufficient" number of Muslim community leaders in Britain do enough to tackle antisemitism, Education Secretary Michael Gove has claimed.
He said Muslims had a "responsibility" to counter extremists and to challenge their own community members who attack British foreign policy or Israel's right to exist.
Two weeks ago in the JC the writer Douglas Murray described the idea of Islamophobia as "a crock". Douglas and I have shared a few platforms over the years and I have a respect for his combination of intellectual and street-fighting skills.
So it is with disappointment and trepidation that I take issue with him here. He is, I think, completely wrong. And here's why.
It hardly needs pointing out that those who casually embrace one form of bigotry are also more easily disposed towards other forms of hatred. Take the English Defence League, which officially claims to concern itself only with opposition to Islamist extremism, but has repeatedly demonstrated that it actually opposes all Muslims.
Iran's foreign policy is not expected to change whatever the result of today's presidential elections, but the outcome is being closely monitored in the West in an attempt to gauge the Islamic Republic's future direction.
The founder of an organisation which records Islamophobic attacks is engaged in a legal battle with a Jewish woman who he claims defamed him on Twitter.
Fiyaz Mughal has threatened libel proceedings against Israel supporter Ambrosine Chetrit after she allegedly criticised the Tell Mama group. He has accused her of siding with the anti-Islamic English Defence League.
Eccentric comedian Russell Brand will embark on a new comedy tour with a Jewish twist.
The Essex-born star is set to visit an array of synagogues and mosques in the Middle East as part of a new comedy show that will "dissect religion" and the lives of religious leaders.
Synagogues and Jewish groups have offered support and solidarity after a suspected racially-motivated fire at an Islamic community centre in Muswell Hill, north London.
The Al-Rahma Islamic Centre was destroyed by the fire which started in the early hours of Wednesday morning. It is home to the Somali Bravanese Welfare Association.
Sweden's Social Democrat party is in crisis after it was forced to remove the Swedish Islamic Society president Omar Mustafa from its board just six days after his appointment.
The party came under fire after an anti-racism magazine drew attention to Mr Mustafa's links to notorious antisemites and virulent anti-Zionists.

Re: "Romeo & Juliet Return?": The Official Jean Grey/Cyclops Debate - Part 1
You can't do just anything though. The movies still have their own inner logic despite being a sci-fi film. Jean is incapable of resurrection. She didn't really die herself in X2 (and she wasn't in the white hot room in The Wolverine).
That's why I think the only option left is an altered timeline where some of the previous events didn't happen. Otherwise we're left with hand wavey nonsense that completely dismissing the importance of anything that happened in X3. I know many don't think it's a great film, but I don't think it's a good idea to devalue what is there by saying it's now something else than what was presented at the time.
In Cyclops case I could make an exception with a good story to back it up because it was never really confirmed by anyone in that movie.
Lady Luck is smiling at me. She knows something I don't.
My worst fear:
When I die all I see is a sign saying '
level 2
'. Which means I have to live all of this all over again. Only on a higher difficulty setting.

undocumented immigrants
The influx of unaccompanied minors across the southern border has mounted pressure for reform, but executive action on the issue has slowed. Jeffrey Brown talks to Thomas Hodgson, sheriff of Bristol County, Massachusetts, who has overseen the placement of 989 unaccompanied minors in his region, to discuss the exploitation many of these children encounter.

After relocating to different cities across the country, these children require health care and education. Judy Woodruff visits Mary's Center, a D.C.-based organization that provides some of those needs for hundreds of kids, and talks to founder Maria Gomez about the current crisis. Continue reading

2008 GMC Yukon XL 2500 Recalls
The heated washer module under the hood could overheat due to excessive current draw. Under certain conditions, this could result in an under hood fire. This previous recall attempt in 2008 to repair this concern did not have the expected success. Dealers will now permanently disable and remove the heated washer module to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on June 20, 2010.
The wiring to the washer system heater may overheat due to a failure in the heater module. This could cause other electrical features to malfunction, smoke to develop, and an electrical fire could result. Dealers will install a wire harness with an inline fuse to protect the washer heater module. This recall is expected to begin on September 12, 2008. The General Motors recall number is 08048.

Calvin Klein Collection
February 13, 2011
New York
Designer: Italo Zucchelli
Owned By: Phillips-Van Heusen
Founded: 1968, New York
History: Although Klein's menswear came to prominence in the eighties (you may also have heard mention of its undergarments, and perhaps a fragrance or two), the 2004 appointment of Italo Zucchelli as men's creative director proved that the brand wasn't afraid to look forward. Zucchelli's deft mix of tech fabrics (check out those Tron-invoking foam jackets from Fall 2009) with masculine tailoring and bold, monochrome palettes helped earn him a 2009 CFDA award for best menswear designer.
