4.5 A thrill to watch! Evildead69 | 10/04/2012 | See all Evildead69's reviews (3) This one is one of my favourite movies of all time! The Goonies sends me back to my childhood in the 80's! Excellent movie and this bluray edition is great! Excellent definition! What are you waiting for? Buy it and watch it in a raining afternoon...
4.5 Boom!! Nicklad1982 | 26/09/2011 | See all Nicklad1982's reviews (1) Defeinetly worth the upgrade to blu-ray. Although not every scene is perfect, i would say 80% is and makes it stand out! Well worth a viewing!
4.5 Fantastic transfer tuco1808 | 06/09/2011 | See all tuco1808's reviews (12) The is a superb audio and visual transfer of Goonies. It's never looked better. No grain, clear soundtrack and effects, vivid colours. So many classic 70s and 80s films have disappointed on bluray. This is not one of them.
4.5 Got to have this film people lol sphere78 | 15/02/2011 | See all sphere78's reviews (28) Ok so if you dont have this film already you have to buy it it is so great. if you have kids they will love it " hey you guys "
4.5 goonies adventure duffman1 | 28/01/2011 | See all duffman1's reviews (1) the story alone is worth 5 stars,now onto the blu ray,it is very clear given that the film is 25years old,should be in your collection if you are over 30 and have kids.
4.5 childhood classic philboy4 | 06/01/2011 | See all philboy4's reviews (152) Mikey, Chunk, Mouth and Data the Goonies are here. Fantastic family advenutre which still holds its own now with all the latest offerings. This film can be watched over and over again as you will never get bored of it. Brilliant story and acting and watch out for Sloth he might just surprise you. Fantastic entertainment a must have for anyone
4.5 I wanna be a Goonie!! MANIB81 | 25/11/2010 | See all MANIB81's reviews (147) After watching this movie, EVERY kid in the world wanted to be a Goonie and I was one of them!!This film is brilliant and it brings back so many memories when watching this 80's classic again. Richard Donner did a great job of this movie and it's so funny!!The Blu ray transfer is not that bad considering this is 25 years old!! The sound is not that bad either. The extras are the same as the DVD Edition but it's still great that it's had the Blu ray treatment!!
4.5 Good movie DEEVOScranium | 04/11/2010 | See all DEEVOScranium's reviews (52) Firstly,the Goonies is awesome, i remember this when i was a kid back in the day and have loved it ever since.Look,a lot of people take blu-ray too seriously and just waffle on about a load of non-sense,i have a lot of blu-rays and i can tell straight away if the picture is good or bad,its not hard is it?If you already have this on DVD i would not buy this as its almost identical with not much of a better picture,although there is more resolution its still not worth a double dip.Obviously,if you dont have the DVD then snap this up as fast as you can.
4.5 A Top 80's Family Movie stucoupe | 23/10/2010 | See all stucoupe's reviews (23) Spielberg produced an enthralling rollercoaster family movie. Somehow, maybe nostalgia, the more modern films dont seem to compete when it comes to true family adventure. The film has good pace.It surprised me to realise this old family movie actually has one expletive word that repeats often. As a parent you may want to consider if you find this acceptable before letting you kids watch.As for the Bluray version, what are the benefits? I personally picked this up cheap, but the price seems to fluctuate. If you have the DVD I see no point in buying this. The sounds, as many older blurays, are enhanced but seem to bassy, even on my Sony amp with the bass turned right down. The picture is certainly better than VHS, and a touch better than DVD - noting an good upscaler cannot fix.The picture is good considering its age, you need to ignore some of the other reviews here, taking anything off film and onto digital (HD) requires conversion, and remember this conversion is actually downscaling the quality off film. The proof in the pudding is: a) how well is the conversion done, b) how good was the original recording, c) how well has the physical film aged. As I grew up watching 80s movies and their grainy affect, it doesnt bother me, but the younger generation might complain. I find it common the older 80s movies look less sharp than more recent stuff ,, this is probably due to age of the physical film (has it been played 100 times for TV) and it was very common for 80s movies to have the added Soften Touch, obviously you cannot completely remove this effect ,, so accept it for what it is and enjoy. Its not that bad, for instance at the start of the movie you can really see the sweat beads on the lads head as he exercises - you would never have seen this on a VHS through your CRT.The overall movie is brilliant, great story line and endless fun to the end. A Must See movie, certainly in my top 5 family movies to watch.Film: 5/5BD over DVD: 2/5
4.5 best film in the world lilem2009 | 12/05/2010 | See all lilem2009's reviews (11) i love the goonies it's the best film in the world

Dtoid Memories: When I was but a child
Daniel Starkey
on 03.03.2013
Okay, look. I can kinda be a little obnoxious about how long I've been a fan of Destructoid. I get that. Sometimes I just can't help but bring it up. It's just... it's been such a significant part of my life for so long, that I really don't remember what life was like in the before time... in the long long ago.
Back in 2005 some friends and I started putting some serious time in creating our own gaming website. We were really green, didn't even have the faintest idea what we were doing really. Still we did the best we could.
One day, one of our readers mentions Destructoid. he said that there was this rebel site that was doing a lot of what we were working on. The difference being they actually had some cash and a small cadre of elite word warriors. I added it to my usual rotation of news blogs and kept careful tabs on the growing army of little green robots.
By December of 2006, the zany folks on the forums (looking at you Poopface) convinced me to sign up, if only to kill time here and there. Soon after that I hopped on the vent server where I said precisely nothing. I still remember running through
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
while listening two guys by the name of Puppetpallmitch and Namelessted trading
Pulp Fiction
Towards about April of 2007, the forum goers of yesteryear started pushing my 16 year old self to fly over 2,000 miles, to a city I'd never visited, and share a hotel room with a bunch of random guys I met online at PAX. I told my mom about it, and she didn't see any problem with this plan. After a summer of mowing lawns I skipped out on my first week of classes to go play games in Seattle.
My god... what a week...
All at once I met people I'd been following for the better part of two years, I met about 30 people for the first time in real life, I took my first trip alone, and I got picked up by the cops.
I didn't technically do anything wrong, but I was in a hotel room with Hamza, Niero, Collette and pals when they received a noise complaint. They noticed alcohol in the room and saw two people that looked a bit younger than the rest -- myself and some dude from Canada. They escorted me back to my room with King3vbo and Bacon Sandwich at the 6th Avenue Inn.
That's just one of few dozen memories from that trip that stick with me to this day. One night, Earnest Cavelli and I talked about how broken the American healthcare system was. Lauren Wainwright and some other folks took me in for a few days after another guy I supposed to stay with screwed me over. I went to see Dale North play with his band the 1UPs -- I still have a signed album.
King3vbo and I took a stroll down to the Seattle Fish Market, I wore the Dtoid helment for the first time -- the OG Silver one. Hell while he was more than a little drunk Hamza and I got into some conversations that, in hindsight were pretty messed up.
I got my introduction to more varied board games like Munchkin and Apples to Apples. I learned who Fruit Fucker was. I met Gabe and Tycho. I talked to Chris Priestly for a good 30 minutes after a
Mass Effect
demo, and I almost put myself in the hospital by chugging an obscene amount of Bawls.
More important than all of that though? When I first stepped onto the show floor, when I saw the lights and the people and the games, I felt like I had found a new home. I felt like I belonged somewhere.
Now, I'm not going to lie and get all gushy and pretend that I was one of those alienated teenagers that never had friends. Quite the contrary. But this was different. I found a brand new world in that convention center. It opened my eyes and set me on the path I'm taking now. Most game journalists will tell you that if you legitimately want to be in this business, you're probably insane. It's long hours with no set schedule for very little money. And yet... now that I've finally got my fancy college degree and everything, instead of doing all those other things I wanted to as a kid, I'm here. I'm doing this.
Yeah I'm insane but it's only because something got into my bones six years ago, and it hasn't let me go since.

East vs. West: From the ashes
Daniel Starkey
on 08.15.2011
The United States is the undisputed birthplace of the games industry. Built on brands like Magnavox and Atari, the seeds for interactive media were sewn in the west. And then... we cocked it up. After the great
Video Game Crash of 1983
, Nintendo had an opportunity to make its move, releasing the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. This gave Japanese developers their shot at the American and European markets. Throughout the late 80s and 90s, the Land of the Rising Sun cranked out a lot of creative titles. We saw many of the first games with narrative, the adventure and RPG genres, and countless other innovations
Nothing lasts forever; any institution which does not adapt will inevitably fail. By the
sixth console generation
, the Japanese games industry was beginning to show signs of stagnation. The fact that Microsoft was confident enough to push the first real American console in over 15 years was indicative of their belief in the decline of the East. It seems a lot of people are still fighting this transition and I honestly cannot, for the life of me grasp why.
I think gamers suffer from a malignant nostalgia. Japanese games were innovative in their time, but they have stubbornly refused to keep pace with their contemporaries. The country desperately clings to positively ancient design philosophy. Non-interactive cut scenes, flat character archetypes, the persistence of menu battles, and a host of other equally vexing traits are not at all conducive to telling good stories or even entertaining modern audiences. I dare you to find one significant aspect of
Final Fantasy XIII
that is strictly better than any of its predecessors (graphics don't count). The story is more unnecessarily convoluted, the absolute dependence on non-interactive story-telling makes the game cinematic (which I think is positively criminal in this day and age), the player has less control over characters than ever before, and the barrier to entry is so absurd that many never make it to the good part. I really do take offense when people claim that Japanese games always have better writing and better stories. I think, that if we are using any rational set of definitions that hasn't been true since Bill Clinton was in office.
In the West, especially with indie games, we have seen the exact opposite- modernization. Say what you will about
Call of Duty
, but the first
Modern Warfare
had some incredible moments.
Assassins Creed
Prince of Persia
both took fantastic gameplay concepts and fleshed them out over the course of several titles. BioWare and Bethesda have moved from being minor players in a niche market to titans in the industry.
revolutionized the way we think about weaving narrative elements into the environment. Valve has shown us just what a precise art game design really is, and Blizzard practically invented E-Sports. Even if you think each of these games suck, you cannot deny the impact they have had on the face of gaming. Our medium will never be the same. What has Japan done to move us forward in the past decade, even?
A Japanese-developed game has not won Game of the Year at the DICE summit since
Ocarina of Time
. These are the people that make games. It is the closest thing we have to an Academy, and it is far more open to foreign productions. What does this say about the state of games in Japan?
Tomonobu Itagaki
Hideo Kojima
, the
New York Times
, and even our own
Bob Muir
have all commented on this phenomenon. Japanese games havent been competitive in a long time. Its really sad, but as Bob points out, the handful of brilliantly creative titles that do get the green light have to struggle, desperately, just to break even. While the West may not be perfect, the rise of indie gaming, and the general support for innovation in North America and Europe have given us a cultural watershed.
Japan had its day, and it may yet have another, but for now, it is over.
*Also thanks to

Oklahoma/Texas NARP
Daniel Starkey
on 08.07.2011
So... I've decided to hold a NARP at my place in Minneapolis in a few months (exact date is TBD). In the meantime, I want to advertise a get together for people in Oklahoma and Northern Texas. I'm keeping it to just those, because it would be a day, maybe two at most. I'll be returning to my home in Oklahoma City this winter break.
Joanna Mueller, aka Zodiac Eclipse and M4trix (or however the hell you spell his handle) are both semi-confirmed. The target date is Friday Dec. 30th or Sat 31st. The current plan has us going down to Bricktown in Oklahoma City and getting some brews and steak. Anyone who wants to come is more than welcome and we can definitely find you a place to stay for the evening if need be. I can also provide rides within an hour or so radius of OKC (I'd be willing to go as far as Tulsa).
Who else is down?

My growing backlog...
Daniel Starkey
on 07.27.2011
I want to make some sort of pathetic attempt to keep this active, though it seems that is getting harder by the day. A growing problem for me has been the amount of time I am spending on non-gaming things. I haven't really sat-down and played anything outside of a LAN since
LA Noire
came out.
I've had the same two games out from Gamefly since the start of the summer, and Steam hasn't really helped my situation.
On the to-play list right now:
The Darkness
Condemned 1 and 2
Ilo Milo
Bit.Trip everything
Atom Zombie Smasher
Alpha Protocol
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Dear Esther
Europa Universalis 3
Far Cry 2
The longest Journey
Dreamfall the Longest Journey
Left 4 Dead 2
the new need for speed game
Heavy Rain
Metal Gear Solid 4
Just a few months ago I had no backlog... now I'm wondering how I will finish these before the end of the year. I really need to stop buying so many games. :(
A wild intern has appeared!
Daniel Starkey
on 07.12.2011
My name is Daniel Starkey. Im one of about a dozen new Destructoid interns. We're pretty awesome. I was born in Texas, raised in Oklahoma, and Im currently attending the University of Minnesota for some liberal arts bullsh!t. Ive been around Destructoid since about a month after it was founded. I was heavy on the forums starting in December 2006 going by the handle the_mole-. I know Ive met a lot of you at PAX 07 and again in PAX 09 and I will be coming back for PAX Prime 11. Maybe we can chill and have a beer or something.
So, as you probably guessed, I love games.Western RPGs, RTSs and old Xbox games have a special place in my heart. I believe that
Majoras Mask
is probably the best game ever made and I will defend that opinion to the death. With fists. And stuff.
My favorite games tend to be those that are unique enough to keep me engaged for more than a few seconds, and those that encourage exploration. A few favorites:
Butcher Bay
Paper Mario 2
(all of them),
Killer 7
, every Bioware or Bethesda game and
Majoras Mask
As for experience, I have been writing about games in one capacity or another since about 2005. A few friends and I tried to start a nice gaming blog but it went belly-up sometime around 08. Since then Ive been writing for my own amusement, posting random things on the C-Blogs and working as an editor for some pretty cool dudes at the University of Minnesota.
Im pretty big into GamePolitics and thinking about legitimizing gaming as a medium for an artistic expression, but thats a whole nother thing....
Anyway, feel free to add me on
(and if you need an invite, I got plenty).
I hope we can all get along and be really cool buddies. I just want you to know that I feel really good about you. I want this to happen. I want
to happen.

dc.description.abstract | The theory of social capital attracts considerable attention across diversified fields due to its positive impact on society. A major portion of social capital literature is devoted to defining the concept and identifying the sources and factors that contribute to social capital development. Putnam (1993), the major proponent of this theory, defined social capital as the trust, norms and networks that facilitate coordinated action and improve the efficiency of society. He considered voluntary organisations to be a significant source of social capital as they encourage the trust-based relationships required for collective action. Many authors argued that social capital development is context specific. Krishna (2002) found that in a poor socio-economic context, social entrepreneurs acting as mediators can activate social capital and bring development. Social entrepreneurs act as catalysts to social change (Alvord et al. 2004), but limited studies have focused on their role in voluntary organisations in developing social capital. The present research analyses the activities of social entrepreneurs who assist in building and strengthening social capital among villagers as a part of the development process, and the implications of these activities for organisational sustainability. The activities of two types of social entrepreneurs, outsiders (SEETOs) and insiders (non- SEETOs) have been analysed. The research used a qualitative design and case study approach to investigate multiple levels of analysis within the single study. The case study organisations are five rural voluntary organisations from the state of West Bengal, India — three with SEETOs and two with non-SEETOs. Primary data have been collected during 2007 and 2008 through face-to-face interviews, published materials, photographs and participant observations. The findings of this research indicate that the development of social capital is dependent on the 'enabling' leadership style of social entrepreneurs. The 'enabling' leaders played an important role in transforming an organisation into a learning organisation and developed the villagers' organisational ability or social agency (an element of social capital) as a group to solve their own problems. The learning organisation ensures organisational sustainability. The study also observed the 'benevolent dictator' leadership style. The 'benevolent dictator' failed to create a learning organisation, and so the villagers had no organizational ability or social agency, which then placed organisational sustainability at risk. However, both types of leader played positive and effective roles in improving the lives of poor villagers. The research confirmed the social entrepreneur's role in social capital development in voluntary organisations within a poor socio-economic context. | en |

Tension prevailed at Ponnurunni in the city on Thursday morning when a section of traders and landowners opposed the Kochi Corporation's move to forcibly evict four traders for the approach road to the newly-constructed rail over-bridge. Kadavanthra police arrested 17 persons in connection with the incident.
The Ponnurunni unit of the Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi (KVVES) observed a hartal post-afternoon, with shops remaining closed between Ponnurunni and Chalikkavattom, in protest against the alleged arbitrary action.
Kadavanthra Sub-Inspector Anil George said the police action was based on an order issued by the Fort Kochi Revenue Divisional Officer to extent protection to the eviction drive. Cases were registered against the arrested for attempt to obstruct government servants before releasing them on bail, Mr. George said.
Sunil, a bakery owner who was among the evictees, accused the Corporation of reneging on its promise to give traders time till February 25, when the Ponnurunni Temple festival concludes.
He said the traders had received a letter dated January 21 from the Corporation's special tehsildar for land acquisition directing them to move out by 5 p.m. on February 5. The traders had, however, not received any notice from the owner of the building — SP Yogam, the Ponnurunni Temple Committee — or the Corporation authorities prior to that letter. They were also told that the building owner had not agreed to hand over the land.
"We had approached the tehsildar and asked for time till February 25, pointing out that the festival fetched big business. We were promised to be left alone till then only to be evicted this morning. All my stock has been wasted and I couldn't even recover outstanding dues from my customers,We are " said Sunil.
A homeo pharmacy, a jewellery outlet and a tailoring unit that operated in rented shops were also evicted.
Special tehsildar for land acquisition Suresh Kumar said neither had he promised time till the end of the festival nor did he have such power. He said the sudden eviction was necessitated after the SP Yogam, which initially promised to surrender the land despite differences of opinion over its price, petitioned the High Court about the alignment of the approach road.
Thursday's action was to pre-empt any possible stay against the eviction, which would have thrown the acquisition process and the commissioning of the overbridge and the approach road out of gear. Roads and Bridges Development Corporation (RBDC) had said the time for relocating the water pipelines was about to expire in which case it the government exchequer would suffer huge losses in terms of re-tendering.
Mr. Kumar said only 8.5 cents belonging to the temple remains of the total 35 cents to be acquired from about 12 landowners. Other landowners had given their consent and those who have rented the space have been given time till February 15. The four traders evicted would also have been given time till then if not for the temple committee's decision to approach the court, he said.
Fostine Joseph, president of Ponnurunni unit of KVVES, said there was no clarity yet on the Corporation's assurance more than ten years ago to rehabilitate traders in shops to be built under the overbridge. A complaint to the district collector in this regard had gone unheeded, he said.

She was the most delicate thing you ever laid eyes on. Tender in feeling and of such a bright countenance as to melt a frozen stream. Of course, I idolized her as younger sisters always do with the older. I saw her almost as a vision of what I, God willing, would become: endlessly inquisitive, graceful in demeanor, lovely as a dewy blossom in the morning light. Certainly, she was quite the dazzling prospect for marriage in the eyes of many fathers looking on behalf of their heirs. I even remember more than a few men my own father's age who attempted to call on Greta, but neither she nor our father would give them any thought.
Besides, Greta was far too curious to live out her days within the walls of Cyrnne, cloistered with some graybearded merchantman. No, she yearned to see the world outside, to learn all that was knowable at the time. Pray do not tell Leopold, but Greta never believed the stories about the outside world that were spread in those days... It was the beginning of what would become the Evangelical Brethren, and it was not uncommon even then to see printed leaflets read aloud in the town square, denouncing the rest of the world or at least the Global Church as being replete with scoundrels, idolaters, and blasphemers. That was our entertainment, as children... All of us would gather in the chapel, huddled together in our furs on the second pew from the pulpit, listening with rapt attention as the lay minister repeated to us the depravity of the outside world.
Us children would watch with eyes as big as gold sovereigns, imagining unto ourselves a slew of monsters, creatures as terrible as the shadows playing upon the very walls of the chapel, bedecked with cows' horns and vicious fangs, killing each other in the most brutal ways our young minds could conceive. Mothers whispered fervent prayers as the preacher built to a crescendo, clutched their brood closer as if shielding them from some embodied foe. Unbeknownst to them, some of those children the young lovers, especially secretly plotted ways to learn from personal experience of the pernicious evils practiced by non-believers.
Greta had her own ideas; however, hers were neither lucid nightmares nor iniquitous fantasy. No, she firmly believed that many of these stories were false. I have often thought in these long years since her death that she was simply too pure to escape this world uncorrupted, too optimistic to leave its many demons in peace. It was on nights like these, when the preacher's tales were still fresh in our minds, that the two of us would lie awake long into the night, until the stars of heaven outshone the torches of the entire city and talk. "Could all of it really be true?" I would ask her, not entirely expecting an answer. "I wish to find out for myself one day," she would always respond.
I should have known that she would run away from us eventually. Mother always said she spent too much of her days in dusty books, when she could be enjoying the mild air in the garden or even more importantly entertaining one of the many men who came in vain to court her. As I said before, she was always too free for that. Father adored us all unabashedly, and could not bear to see even the slightest present or favor withheld from us. Perhaps this was the source of Greta's need to see the world. I felt even then that he held special devotion for her, his precocious gem of a daughter. I was not envious like my older sisters: I too was bewitched by the same spell. Greta was in my eyes the paragon of womanhood, even though she was only sixteen at the time and I barely three years her junior.
This is why her running away broke our hearts as terribly as it did. With Greta gone, I had not a single soul in the world with which to share my heart. No one with whom to chitter about the petty intricacies of courtship, or the piteous state of my bosoms, or any of the other trivialities that consume the thoughts of young girls. Even more, it was as if a half of my mind had been ripped away from me in one night, carried off to the west astride the fastest charger from our stables. Father especially was destroyed by the news; in fact, it very well nearly killed him. Mother was more circumspect in revealing her emotions something which her first two daughters had inherited as well yet many times in the following months, I saw her sob in fits when she believed herself alone. Honestly, I doubt that even she ever recovered fully.
Nearly a year passed by the time we learned what had become of poor Greta. I, ever the optimist after Greta's example, imagined her to be having grand adventures like those I remembered reading about in our library. In my mind, I saw her perhaps roaming the west with a merchant caravan, or traversing the Great Bay with a band of pirates. I made entire stories which mapped out her travels across the known world, even into parts unknown; of course, I never shared any of this with my parents or sisters. After all, who could I share any of my feelings and thoughts with if not Greta? Though Father had sent word to every city in the League and even to the southern towns of the Torisians, we heard nothing.
Perhaps it was because he believed her to have simply run off to some distant relations of ours in Meddelburg that we never thought to look further amongst the commoners of Heilicon. It came as such a shock to us all that not only had she been there all along, not more than one week's journey away, but that by now she was also with child. My father's man could learn little else, because he only saw her fleetingly before she ducked back into an alleyway and was lost from view. The way he told it, she was quite clearly the Greta we had known, yet there was something different still. Though her hair retained the straw color it always had, it was now matted and filthy instead of light and flowing. Lines of weariness had appeared on a face once perpetually turned into an innocent smile, a face which held once-inquisitive eyes now devoid of light. In addition to this, there was the child she carried within her. For a time, even Father believed that she had betrayed him; that her prior aloofness with men had only been a pretense for more clandestine affairs. I knew this to be false, but how could I contest the evidence that now lay before me?
I fought within myself the urge to also hate her, an urge which very nearly destroyed my entire childhood with it. How could one as pure as my dear sister have fallen so far? Had the stories we were told by candlelight in that drafty old chapel been true after all? I quickly understood that the world outside was filled with men just like us who lived in Cyrnne; that even our self-made paradise here was not paradise at all, but merely the order of heaven in mocking effigy. These lessons I learned at that age when womanhood looms as both an intangible yearning and a mounting fear; it was Greta who caused me to grow up faster and deeper than my peers. Several more months passed, wherein Father and Mother were torn too much between rage and parental bonds to reach out and save my dear sister from a fate they could not imagine. They withheld their hand until it was too late, for it was after only a few months that we learned of Greta's death.
Greta Frandt, the angel of our household and veritable goddess of my own youth, was dead. She had succumbed to weakness in childbirth, they said. The strain of labor was too great for her frail body and she had simply lost the will to live. It seemed that I alone refused to believe that my sister had given up: after all, was she not the one who told me nearly every night that all things around us had been conceived in beauty by a loving God? Was she not the one who sought for even the slightest glimmer of godliness in even the so-called adulterers and heathens of the outside world?
No, I never did and never will accept the idea that Greta saw no more purpose in life, for she did have a purpose. I can see it clearly now, as it sits here before me. That child whose birth drained her of life was your father. As much as I came to loathe the man vile enough to seduce and destroy my Greta, I also saw her son become a man in his own right, who grew beyond his father's shadow. Now to see his son, my dear sister's grandson, brings me such joy as to let me pass calmly to the next life, knowing that as one chapter is completed, another lies open and ready for the pen. I pray you hold no grudge against your grandfather, Matthieu. Believe me when I say that a lifetime of grudges will bring you nothing but white hair and an added measure of grief in a world already so full of mourning.
We must look at things in a positive light if we are to survive, and yet there are also two things we must remember. Firstly, that the preceding injunction notwithstanding we live in a world full of evil, darkness and sin. Secondly, that despite all that, it would be tragically short-sighted of any one of us to view this life as anything short of inherently good, or to value each day as anything less than a gift. Yes, accidents happen; children die; the beautiful and tender ones suffer; many of the world's greatest injustices will never see the light of day; and most crimes will go unpunished. Tragedy and pain occur everyday, but remember: so do miracles.

Singed.... is... God tier? I mean, it could just be that my teams tend to counter him, but... He just doesn't do much. If he split pushes, you eat his team in a 3v2 and then have one guy defend the turret while you push. If he's in a teamfight you just use gapclosers and beat up his team. Don't get me wrong, he's still useful, he's good for locking down someone out of place so your team can kill them, and he's nigh-impossible to push off a turret and thus can greatly slow down or even stop a push on his own, but with the super prevalence of gap closers and high mobility it just makes him feel underwhelming. Perhaps it's because people are still in the whole "tank bruiser/assassin carry" teamcomp mindset? I dunno, that would be silly considering how strong assassins are here, which is only shadowed by how strong the tanky burst champs like Jax, Olaf, and Tryndamere (later on) are. (As in, they be OP here lol) In fact, a lot of your list makes me think you don't fully comprehend just how stupid strong sustain is here. Anyone with decent inbuilt sustain is almost garunteed to beat those people who don't, unless you catch them alone (which is bad play, so it's a moot point). Heck, even a high affinity for lifesteal makes a huge difference, though you need some tank to back it up (Carries get instagibbed)
imo wu should be higher his escape and ult are very good
Amumu needs more credit, hes pretty much the best tank IMO (especially against singed. Mumu's aoe hits for %hp so it almost always does more to singed than the posion does to Mumu, making him one of the only heros who can chase singed effectively.) Other than that fizz is much much better than gragas, burstyness mobility everything.
How good do you think Irelia and Lulu are after the TT remake? How do you recommend building them?

i know youve probably answered this already, but why wouldnt teemo be God tier? since the map is much smaller, it is even easier to hit shrooms, and they also act as wards for him the team.
Why is swain tier 3? I find playing against swain for bothersome due to his high damage output as well as sustain.
I think you understimate Tristana a lot. Her escape is pretty good which is really important in a map of bruisers, and her ult is great for splitting enemy teams since removing one people from a team fight hurts a lot. Also, you can actually play her as a jungler with lantern, because of her AS steroid and her E passive. She does need a team comp, so I would place her at Tier 2

I'm giving this a go tonight. I just threw some clover honey, AJ concentrate, and water in a gallon jug. og 1.14, pitched ec1118.
I'm curious as to if anyone has ever experimented with aging the product before freeze concentrating. Would one yield a tastier end product by aging first, or can it be done soon after fermentation has finished and still produce a nice drinkable beverage?
Ok, I'm not a numbers guy. In fact math an I don't get along very well. What i do know is this .... I put aprox. 3.5 liters of mead into 2 2liter bottles and after melting it over a bowl for an hour and a half there was a nice big lump of water in the bottle. In the bowl there was a nice amber brown liquid the tasted very sweet and smooth. The alcohol content seemed stronger the original state. Since you are concentrating flavors it would stand to reason that the ABV would go up. I guess you'd have to take readings before and after freezing. I do have a question though, what is the TTB? I did a search and came up with some wine makers group.
Never done one of my meads. Did brew an Eisbock last year-froze 25%. Resulted in a very tasty 10% ABV bock. Mouthfeel was a little thin- would try a ^ mash temp next time. Was supposed to bring out more hop presence, but really it was like they disappeared altogether.
On a side note, in the finger lakes region, they make ice wine. They harvest the grapes in the middle of the night while they're frozen. Make for some syrupy dessert wine.

Being excited for my wedding, I kept the sample in my purse for months for matching other elements and materials. I guarantee the paper is very thick and durable! Held up the whole time without falling apart or becoming flimsy. The raised printing on the card is very crisp and clean. No invite had any printing issues and the embossed design holds up very well. This is a great card for adding your own personal touches too, like hole-punching, etc. Overall, this is an excellent quality invite with an elegant design at a very affordable price!

This is a great conditioner, but my favorite way to use it is to leave it in under gel. It moisturizes without weighing down, and gives shine and reduces frizz dramatically. It smells lovely and fresh, and a little goes a long way. I find it very similar to Sally's GVP conditioning balm for reference, but I enjoy using both. Aquage has some kelp extracts in it that I believe have protein-like qualities that help strengthen hair a bit, while the GVP conditioning balm is more of 100% moisture. This conditioner definitely has helped to "heal" my hair.

I would buy this again only as a daily conditioner. I don't think it does all it purports to do. Definitely did not seem like a deep conditioner to me. I used it in conjunction with the color protecting Aquage poo. Given the price I might consider using other brands even for a daily conditioner. I could comb through my hair easily after using this dish; but it really didn't do much for the dryness.

I used this after clarifying with Kenra Clarifying Shampoo and it was not enough moisture. My hair still felt dry. I feel like this is better as a daily or every-other-wash conditioner rather than a 'healer' or any sort of 'deep conditioning' treatment. **Edit: Adding another lippie because while I would not use this after clarifying, it is a really good twice a week conditioner!

I love love LOVE this product!! I got it about half a year ago, when I had my hair highlighted about three times rather close together, since I had to get rid of the red in my hair. my hair was really dry & porous, & i remember that after a few times as using this as a deep conditioner, it worked really well. I left it on for an hour under a shower cap though, & got really good results that way, since my hair needed more than just a few minutes. I suggest that to the people who said that it wasn't working as well as they wanted. dry hair needs more time to soak up all of the conditioner!
I used it again earlier today since my hair has been parched from not only the cold winter air but also from my recent dye job to get my hair back to my original root color. it made my hair really soft & supple, but i'm not using heat for a few weeks until it's repaired a bit further. I would suggest that if you have dry or damaged hair, since that just makes it worse, no matter what you're using. that's a critical thing to keep in mind girls!
I like this since it has no silicones, & i need that every so often. plus, it adds a lot of natural moisture back into my dry hair. I love it & when i run out of the big tub, i'll get more. :)

I just had my hair bleached and color treated (twice within the last 4 months) so it's dry and damaged. My salon artist recommended this product to me and I had a $10 off coupon so I decided to try it. I washed my hair with very little shampoo and followed the instructions on the conditioner bottle-- I only put a "small amount", just enough to coat my hair, and I left it on for about 3 minutes then rinsed. For the first time in a long time, I had no tangles in my hair as I combed it! (But then again, I combed it right before showering and was careful when putting the shampoo and conditioner.) However, when my hair dried it didn't feel particularly more hydrated than it was previously. I'm just hoping for better results if I keep using it, maybe leave it on longer than last time. But as of right now, this conditioner is NOT worth the price!

Ok, I just tried this product for the first time so, for now, take my review as a one wash experience.
I applied this to my hair and put on a plastic cap and left it for 30 min.
My hair was really soft while rinsing it out. Did a great detangling job IN THE SHOWER but not out of it. Had to use a leave in to comb my hair.
I let my hair air dry and it didnt feel silky like the others reviews say, it was definately soft, shiny and STRONG.
I was expecting silky hair but instead it made my hair strong and less frizzy. I like the results so far but I dont feel this will be a HG for me. Takes a lot to knock out my beloved Terax Crema.
For reference, I have fine, past-waist long, highlighted hair.
I will continue to use and will update soon.
PS: This smells just like Revlon Aquamarine shampoo that I used when I was a kid.
Update: This always makes my hair feel tangly. I have to use a heavy duty leave in conditioner to take the knots out. Im taking a lippie off.

This is my 2nd favorite deep conditioner (the first being L'oreal Nature's therapy). I have super fine hair, so it's difficult to find a deep conditioner that doesn't weigh down my hair, and this fits the bills. It's rich and moisturizing without being too heavy, and my hair always feels much silkier after using it. I'm really becoming fond of Aquage products, and this is one I'll continue to use, and continue to recommend over and over!!

Well, i am a cosmetology student, so i go to a place where they sell everything cheap so i got the big bottle for $12, which is fantastic pricing, so i thought it was going to be a crappy product. Well i have really damaged hair and i started to use it and i was AMAZED at the results. I use Paul Mitchell products usually so i just used my paul mitchell super skiny shampoo, this conditioner and Paul Mitchells heat seal out of his soft style collection and it works wonders,, but his product alone is amazing!! but you should try it this way too :)
it keeps my hair PERFECT looking!!

I LOVE this conditioner! I used to work at a store that sold only to licensed cosmetologist, so I got it for cheap. I had really long hair and it made it so soft and shiny. Now my hair is about shoulder length, and I use it once a week (SInce I have to pay double the price I used to pay lol) and it makes my hair feel so good. I don't really have damamged hair, but I would recommend it for someone with even extremely damamged hair. I love the way it smells too, fresh, almost beachy clean smell.
