ESPN Music: Bubba Watson
Will the Golf Boys audition new members?
May, 21, 2012
By Theresa Manahan | ESPN.com
Golfer Ben Crane says people used to think he was boring. But now, "I think we're slowly breaking through that one." He has his music career to thank.
Last June, Crane teamed up with Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan to form the PGA boy band Golf Boys and produce their first single, "Oh Oh Oh," in the run-up to the U.S. Open.
In the two-minute video, Crane donned a helmet and unitard, Watson sported overalls and the beginning of a mullet, Mahan moonlighted as a European sugar daddy and Fowler feigned a punk juvenile delinquent. But it was all for a good cause, as Farmers Insurance sponsored the project and donated $1,000 to charity for every 100,000 YouTube hits. To date, the video is nearing 5 million views.
It would seem their shamelessness is paying off, as all four have excelled so far this season. Most notably, Watson is the reigning Masters champion, but Mahan also raked in two wins at the WGC Match Play and Houston Open, Crane finished second in the Phoenix Open and Fowler is on a hot streak with a win at the Wells Fargo Championship and a second place finish at The Players.
The follow-up single to "Oh Oh Oh" isn't yet in the works, but Crane says they are welcoming tryouts and would like to get back together. Auditions, perhaps? "Call me Simon Cowell," he says.
Bieber, Bubba phone it up like schoolgirls
April, 19, 2012
By Steve Etheridge | Special to ESPN.com
World Puberty Champion Justin Bieber has a lot of friends in high places. He's crooned for Sasha and Malia, he's collaborated with Kanye and Drake and I think he's even given the Pope skateboarding lessons. Or was it Nelson Mandela?
Either way, the kid's got some A-list contacts in his iPhone. So it should come as no surprise that following fellow pop singer (of the Golf Boys) Bubba Watson's win at the Masters, Biebs was the only person he spoke with on the phone.
"He called me and I talked to him on the phone and he and Selena [Gomez] were congratulating me, and it was a big honor that they would both call me and talk to me," Watson said in a recent interview with E! News.
While it's still up to the jury whether this helps or hurts Bubba's street cred, it's refreshing to be living in a time when hotshot grown-ups show respect to hotshot youngsters. Imagine Bieber and Johnny Unitas trying to get along: "Time for a haircut, young man."

Hi! My name is Socks---can you guess why? Well, silly, it's because I look like I am wearing two white socks on my front paws! With my shiny jet-black fur and little white socks...I am simply adorable!
I am a spirited and active boy who likes to be busy and have a lot of play time. My idea of a perfect home is one where I can be free range inside or at least be out of a cage and running and playing in a rabbit-proofed area most of the time. (Isn't that every rabbit's dream?)
I am waiting for someone to love me and discover what a little trickster and playful guy I can be. Please visit me soon!
11/1/2009 - Lucky me! I've been adopted by my foster parents. They just love me so much and I love them too. I live in a fun-filled home with two other bunnies so I'm never lonely. Thank you SaveABunny for finding me my new family. Binkies, Socks

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I am trying to do a repaint of different Qatar Airways' Boeing aircraft and each of these has got its own name. Being from Europe I am having a hard time getting those names written.
Can anyone help me getting the following name 'Alhuwalla' done properly, preferably as an AI vector file or something similiar? Does someone recognize the font or has a font which looks pretty similiar?
Here's an example image of what I am talking about:
If possible I'd like to ask for further names to be done.
Thanks for any help!
Best regards,
There are many people on Typophile who can help you, and somebody might offer to do it for free. I myself do believe in giving out ideas freely, but when it comes to producing something tangible I don't agree with freebies for peers (only for disadvantaged people). So if you end up having to have a budget: hpapazian at gmail dot com
I am offering those repaints for free so I don't have a budget for it. On the other hand that means I am creating something 'tangible' - not the best term you choose there - and I am not charging for it either.
I was simply asking for a word written in a language I don't speak. If somebody would ask me to type the words 'Hello world' in Illustrator with Arial and create a file I wouldn't even start thinking about charging money for it.
To sum it up, I don't share your attitude and the question about contacting you is solved!
This isn't comparable to setting "Hello world" in Arial, on a number of levels.
It's not just about making a few dollars; I feel we each have a responsibility to others to maintain value in our respective fields.
I'm curious, what's your rationale for doing this work for free? Qatar Airways needs the money?
These repaints are for a flight simulator add on and are normally offered for free to the community which is quite large. I bet most graphic artist would charge money for such work, quite a few people don't including me.
I am not creating these repaints for Qatar Airways or any other airline. Nor am I affiliated with them. I am working on these in my free time and my real profession is a complete different one.
I am trying to get as much detail into those repaints and would love to get those names right, I thought at least somebody could draw or set those letters who is more into the symbology than I am. It does't even need to be the exact same font or require much work. Just something which appears right at the first glance.
Since you seem to have lots of expertise you probably can enlighten me why it's so much more work than simply writing 'Hello World'?
If I am taking completely wrong assumptions feel free to tell me where I am wrong so I can at least learn a bit and get my expectations right.
Thanks for the explanation.
I myself don't have a lot of Arabic fonts installed, so finding just the right one would take time. If you're picky. I am.
Some help I can provide freely: in that image it actually says "lahweela" (or "lahuwayla"). If it's supposed to say "alhuwalla" (but where's the "y"?) the initial alef is missing; here are strings (the first without the alef, the second with) that you can copy-paste into software and try your luck:
Another bit of help: that genre of Arabic font is called "kufi".
Thank you very much for infos. My source regarding the name is probably wrong and your strings look absolutely fine in my eyes. The kufi genre is a good direction to start.
Thanks for your help. :-)
If you still need help with this, I provide this type of service.
Please review information on my website here:

You have the best frozen pizza I have ever tasted. Your frozen pizzas are better than most restaurants around the Carolinas. My wife and my two daughters feel the same way.

Welcome to the first ever Beneath the Pixels. If you don't already know what this blog is about you don't have to worry. I've got you covered.

Beneath the Pixels is a new monthly blog series in which 3 people play a game up to a specified point and discuss their experience. The fun isn't limited to just us three, though. Community members are encouraged to play along and move the discussion from the community blog and into the comments.

Those of you that are already aware of this are probably ready to agree with or disapprovingly yell at one of us. Let's get things rolling.

vexed alex

 This is big for me. This is the first Zelda I've been excited to play since Ocarina of Time, and so far things are going great.

I was a bit surprised by the game's prologue. I still can't believe they're trying to tie these stories together. I was always under the impression that the only ones concerned with any of that nonsense were the crazy members of Zelda's fan club. I almost wish that it wasn't called Zelda so that they could drop the baggage, though that may change as I continue playing.

I was a bit of confused once I began playing it. I'm so used to having third person games require you to control the camera and this one feels like the designers didn't think it was so important. That's most evident when you try to switch your controls to non-inverted because I couldn't find that option.

 I did do a tiny bit of research on Wind Waker after I finished playing through Dragon Roost. I noticed that the game's new visual style did come with its fair share of complainers from both the fans and the critics. I honestly can't understand the literal outrage. As far as I'm concerned this is one of the most gorgeous games I have ever played, and I always thought it was beautiful before we started this series.

Most last generation games look so awful on my sixty-five inch screen (bragging) even if they have an option to run it in HD. I'm playing this in 480i and that didn't cross my mind until I began looking back at my play-through. Wind Waker is just perpetually charming to me. Whether it's through the cel shading, the way Link cutely tip-toes around thin ledges, or seeing his tiny feet under the cover of a wooden barrel, I was smiling throughout.

Jonathan Ross

One of the draws for Zelda fans, if I remember correctly, was that this was the first Zelda that was explicitly linked to any of the others. People had been making ridiculous theories and timelines for years, but I think the official Nintendo stance is that all the other Zeldas are totally unrelated (although *Phantom Hourglass* is a sequel to *Wind Waker*).

I had the exact same problem with the camera this go around, which is funny because I don't think I had it the first time I played it. It's super frustrating though -- three hours in and I still mess up the direction I want the camera to go EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

The other thing that stood out to me is how Mii-like everyone in the game is. A lot of the facial expressions and eyes in the game you can put on your Mii, and its weird to me. I used to really like the art style, and I guess I still do, but I keep thinking of the characters as Miis and that bothers me.

The other thing that playing through this has reminded me is that, while I like Zelda, every single Zelda from *Ocarina* onward is pretty much exactly the same. I think it's a reason I love the Gameboy Zeldas so much -- I think the game works much better in 2D than 3D. I hold a pretty unpopular opinion in that *Ocarina* and *Majora's Mask* are my least favorite Zelda games, so a lot of the later games just feel like more of the same. That said, I do on the whole enjoy *Wind Waker*, but I feel like it could have been so much more.

One of the things I do really like about *Wind Waker* is that there's a lot of humor in the game -- both kind of physical slapsticky humor and some really clever dialogue. It really gives the game personality, and I think fits well with the game's art style. The art is kind of whimsical and lighthearted, and the tone of the game is as well. I wish more recent Zelda games were like that, but as we've seen with *Twilight Princess* they're trying to make Zelda serious again, and I don't think they're doing that great of a job. (Ooh, save the world from something scary? That's the plot of EVERY Zelda game. Making Link a teenager and putting in a lot of broken scenery doesn't make your game 'dark'.)

Ryu89

So from a point of someone who has played this game before, I can honestly say the controls have never been a problem for me. Probably cause I play enough games that I'm used to bad cameras.

I'm more interested in the dynamic behind Link's relatives. Link lives on Outset Island, with his grandma and his sister Aryll. I think what's particularly interesting about Wind Waker as a whole is that it's one of the few games where link has a direct relative. I think what makes Wind Waker better than most Zelda games is Link actually having a legitimate reason to have people say to him, "hey go here, do this, don't think about it" because he wants to save his sister.

Other than showing that, Outset island is kind of boring. You talk to generic old guy who teaches you sword play, meet Tetra who at this point is just sort of uninteresting. The only other noteworthy thing is the interaction between Link and his grandma when she gives him the shield. It pulls at my heartstrings every time I play.

Jonathan Ross

I see the relative angle as kind of a cop-out. They barely establish any kind of relationship between Link and his grandmother/sister, and before you know it OH NO SHE'S KIDNAPPED GO RESCUE HER. I actually can't remember if they get into it later in the game, but at this point it just seems like they needed a reason for Link to leave the island and went with the standard cliche; 'rescue your family member!' thing. Seriously, what kind of grandmother would let a 12 year old (I think that's how old he's supposed to be) leave an island to hunt down a giant bird monster with a group of crazy pirates no one has ever met because he's playing dressup for a day, and has had 3 minutes of sword training after never having fought before. WTF?

vexed alex

I'm totally with you on the humor aspect of Wind Waker, Jonathan. One of the first things I noticed when I started playing were the children in Outset Island. If you get within certain proximity of them they'll start to follow you around and will bump into if you stop moving, including this snot nosed kid. If you pay enough attention to him you can see that he tries sucking the mucus in.

I do also lean more to what you're saying about Link's "link"; (pun intended) between him and his relatives, Ross. Though the scene between Link and his Grandmother as the Pirate ship leaves the island was indeed sad, there really wasn't any buildup to establish the relationship. The only thing we had to go by were their admittedly adorable family pictures spread around the house and conversations between them. It was still a welcomed surprise for a Zelda game, but it was kinda sloppily done.

And from what I've played so far Tetra is kind of a douche bag, but so not mean enough to be a real pirate.

Jonathan Ross

I'm not saying he doesn't have a relationship, he obviously does, since she's his sister. My problem with it is that they just jam it in your face. LINK. SISTER. TAKEN. HE'S SAD. GO. The facial expressions kind of make it worse, since they're so exaggerated. GIANT SURPRISE FACE SHE GOT TAKEN BY A BIRD. ANGRY DETERMINED FACE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO RESCUE HER. It really doesn't do much for me -- I would have liked to have seen SOME interaction between them besides "Happy birthday your present is a telescope you get to borrow for one day." How touching.

Ryu89

I don't think it's that way at all. I think facial expressions are really important, and if you pay attention to his face they REALLY wanted to show that he DOES have a relationship, implied or otherwise. I think the catapult scene shows it the best when right before they fire him off he has this disgruntled look on his face that just says to me "I don't like this, but it's for Aryll".

Maybe I'm reading into it too much though. Speaking of the Forsaken Fortress, I want to know when game developers will learn that forced stealth sections are NEVER fun. A lot of people say that twilight princess takes forever to get off the ground, but I think Wind Waker feels longer because of this area. They end up doing something with it later... but at this point in the game, its just really annoying to bother with.

vexed alex

Normally I'd agree with you on stealth, but I only really had two problems with it. The first one were the rats. One of them ran up to me and knocked my barrel off without warning causing me to get spotted. I was still wrestling with the camera at this point too, and that inadvertently landed me in jail as I'd fuck up a jump or get spotted by the lights. Oh, and again, seeing Link's tiny feet under the barrels is really damn adorable. That's probably why I'm no as harsh on it.

However, I was mildly upset by the fact that Ganon is in yet another Zelda. For a game that took risks with its art style, I'm bummed that they were too cowardly to bring something knew with the main antagonist. Though, I guess this also stems from me not liking that this game brings the baggage of previous Zelda games like I mentioned before.

Ryu89

The worst part about Ganon is this game is that they obscure his face at first, as if to say OH MAN I WONDER WHO CAN THIS BE NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK, when it's totally obvious. The more I think about it, the less I think that the Forsaken Fortress is actually a badly designed area, it's just so dull and boring to get through I hate playing through it.

Jonathan Ross

Ganon is pretty much a staple of the series, at least for the console games -- the handhelds are a bit more loose with introducing new antagonists. Majora's Mask I think is the only console one he didn't appear in. Given that Nintendo's plan for Zelda tends to focus on repeating the main themes, he'll be showing up for a while. I still don't have any major ill will against Zelda, but being risky is NOT what the series is known for.

I got frustrated with Forsaken Fortress, and mostly because of camera issues. Technically they were my fault -- I don't think there was any time I got caught where it was 'unfair', but it sure would have been a hell of a lot easier if the camera didn't suck so much. I think I got sent back to the jail about 6 times, and I was over it by the second one. I like stealth games, but I don't think stealth needs to be a part of every game.

Random aside from Dragon Roost -- I always think it's hilarious that a little spider can bump into my leg and take away half a heart, but if I jump off a bridge that's 100ft up into a giant pool of molten lava I just singe my butt and lose 1/4th. Not that the game would be fun if falling into the lava was instant death, but I always found that amusing.

Ryu89

So after the forsaken fortress you come to Windfall Island. A lot happens here, but all of it is secondary to the main game. I'll cover some stuff that's awesome even if you might not have seen it. The dude that you play battleship against is the best Zelda character ever. SPLOOOOSH. The camera guy is neat also. Fuck Tingle. Eskimo guy gives you a sail and then you can actually get into the real game.

Dragon roost is an interesting dungeon because back in the day, when people were still unsure about Wind Waker with the art change, you got to about halfway through this dungeon and it just clicked that YES this is still a freaking Zelda game and it's awesome. The dungeons highlights for me included throw pots of water into lava to make land bridges, the grappling hook is awesome, and the boss is interesting like any other Zelda game. Not sure what else to say about it content wise.

vexed alex

You forgot to mention Wind Waker's version of Falcor; King of the Red Lions!

I think you met a lot more people in Windfall than I did. I don't recall a camera guy, however I do agree that the guy running the Battleship game is hysterical. His faux-celebration after you beat the game is amusing.

I don't know how you guys feel about sailing, but so far it's very uneventful. Hopefully that will pick up. The seagulls flying with you as you're sailing was a nice touch, though.

I too felt that Dragoon Roost clicked right away. I had many "AH-HAH" moments. I don't know if your experience changes if you've played the game and have some memory of the puzzles, but I thought that they were excellently done. They weren't really difficult, though I don't know if Zelda puzzles ever are. They weren't so easy that I had my intelligence insulted, so that's a plus.

I don't know how I feel about the boss fight. I hate going back to this, but if it wasn't for the camera the battle would have been so much more easier to get through. It made it artificially difficult, which in turn made it slightly frustrating when I died. It was the targeting system that annoyed me mostly. I don't know if I was doing anything wrong, but it just wouldn't stay in place. It would slowly trail off as I circled around the monster.

Jonathan Ross

For some reason I have bad memories of Windfall from when I first played the game, but I have no idea why I didn't like it, and probably didn't have a good reason. That said, on this play through I walked in, got the sail, and left. The towns have always been some of my least favorite parts of Zelda games, even though I normally like them in RPGs. I think Zelda to me is more about dungeoning and stabbing things.

Dragon Roost I'm a fan of. As previously mentioned, I thought the water jug puzzles were really clever. I actually got briefly stumped when I ran into the boss, because I thought I remembered what to do. It turns out I did, but the very first time I moved my grappling hook aim over his tail, it didn't turn into the grapple sign, so I thought i was doing it wrong. (Turns out I was just out of range.) Luckily, there are always tons of hearts in the boss room so it wasn't a big deal and I beat him kind of quickly.

That actually is one of the things I like a lot about Zelda. Typically, the bosses tend to be really easy, but only once you figure out what their trick is. Sure, some of the bosses are really obvious and lame, but there are some pretty awesome boss encounters throughout Zelda. Sure, it's not great for replayability, but I like that kind of design. I could see how others wouldn't though.

Overall I think it's one of the better first dungeons in a Zelda game (I'm not counting Fortress in that). I think a lot of times in Zeldas the first dungeon is just a total cakewalk. I think this does a good job of introducing you to dungeoneering concepts while not being too simple. There are a few things you have to think about in order to proceed.

I still have my lava question :)

I'm going to be Tactix and say that It's hard to get burned when you've got a hot ass.

Before we move on to the conclusion I want to know what you guys think of Medli, or the Rito tribe in general. I personally think they're the second coolest race to be in a Zelda game, second to gorons. The character of Medli is interesting, I think you could really tell that Wind Waker was alot of trial and error for Miyamoto and the dev team to make better developed characters, which I personally feel can be seen realized in Twilight Princess. In ocarina of time, I didn't really care about alot of the side characters; they were really boring to me.

Everyone in Wind Waker is interesting and well thought out, except for maybe effing TINGLE. I feel like this added to its charm and character, which really benefitted the game in the end. Any thoughts on this?

vexed alex

I actually like Tingle even if it seems like he's worthless if you don't have the stupid Game Boy Advance connector.

I had a very tough time trying to figure out what the hell the Rito were. I originally assumed they were just people in bird costumes. I think it was their beaks not actually being beaks that threw me off.

I can't really say much about how I feel of Medli specifically because she's on screen for very little. She at least isn't a cunt like Tetra, nor does she have a ridiculously designed ship. The character design for the Rito Tribe is really cool.

Komali was cute despite his cowardliness.

Ryu89

So overall I'd say this is probably my least favorite chunk of the game... other than something else. We'll get to that in a few weeks. While dragon roost is a pretty enjoyable dungeon, later dungeons are much better. The tutorial section is bland and uninteresting save for what I think is interesting characters, and I hate forced stealth sections, especially when its the beginning of the freaking game. Any other thoughts about the game so far overall?

vexed alex

I came in excited to play Wind Waker for the first time, and I still feel the same now. Not very many games manage to effectively turn me on to a series that I've lost interest in. Although Outset Island could have had some more polish and better characterization, the game really began to sink its teeth into me by the middle of Forbidden Fortress.

This is despite all of the negativity -- camera controls included. I don't want it to seem like I thought they broke the game. They were a minor annoyance that sometimes got in the way, but they weren't Too Human bad. I could deal.

Also, Tetra's ship stupid. Build a bridge and use that space for cargo, whore!

Jonathan Ross

I feel like I have a slightly negative view towards *Wind Waker*, and I'm not entirely sure why. I LOVED it when it came out. I think it might just be a disillusionment with the series in general. Even then though, I think *Wind Waker* is a solid game, and the best console Zelda since *Link to the Past*. It may be as we play on I'll remember why I liked it a bit more.

I just want a new, GOOD handheld Zelda, and not this *Phantom Hourglass* bullshit :(

_____________________________________

This brings the first of our three part Wind Waker discussion to a close. If you didn't play a long there is still time. Playing on through from beginning to Dragon Roost will probably take you around 3 hour (give or take an hour). You can still catch up!

We're starting part two immediately. We're stopping right after you beat both Temple of Wind and Temple of Shadow. This section will be a bit longer to complete than our first, but there are no rules as to which of the two temples you have to do first. It's all up to you.

We will be posting part two October 24th, and part three will end Wind Waker the night before Halloween. I hope.

I'd like to thank Ryu89 and Jonathan again for helping out, and to any community members that have contributed in any way (this includes playing along).tag:destructoid.com,2008:151464Gran Turismo PSP: My Two Cents2009-10-08T23:47:16Z2009-10-08T23:47:16Z[embed]151464:23438[/embed]

Eight hundred cars, thirty-five tracks, and some of the most breath taking graphics the PSP has ever seen running at a consistent sixty frames per second -- it really did sound like an instant winner. That was the truth until the Polyphony began trickling down more information. You get no career mode, no performance upgrades, no visual upgrades, only three other cars are allowed to race against you, and youre only allowed to tune a total of thirty vehicles. Total downer, right?

I dont really understand what came over me. I convinced myself that the game was not worth it if I wasnt going to get half of what made me fall in love with Gran Turismo 2. I went ahead and bought it despite myself, and Ive come bearing good news. Its the best racing game Ive played on the PSP, or any handheld device, and this isnt hyperbole.

The cars look incredible, and Polyphony has surprisingly managed to make them feel distinct. Though it isnt the best simulation (it is better than Shifts), you can tell when youre driving an all-wheel drive vehicle versus a rear-wheel drive or front-wheel drive car.

[embed]151464:23441[/embed]

Its unfortunate that the only way to play this game is digitally. You can try using the analogue stick, but its more trouble than it is useful. My difficulty comes from being used to having precise throttle, braking, and steering control on an XBOX 360 controller, and to a lesser extent on the PS3 controller. The throttle and braking control in Gran Turismo PSP is either off or on. Its not good when youre trying to slowly and smoothly brake into a turn, or ease out of a corner for that matter. Your driving becomes aggressive all the time as a result.

The way you buy cars is a bit unusual, but I believe it works incredibly well as motivation to keep you racing and possibly even trading cars. Youre only allowed to choose from four car manufacturers all with a limited number of cars. The cars change between each racing day and each day seems to last around 2 races. I imagine it may suck for some of you, but I thought it gave the game some nice pacing to battle against the lack of any career mode.

[embed]151464:23439[/embed]

On the one hand, Im glad I can grab any car I want and race in any track I like without having to worry about any power or car type restrictions, but I do miss feeling of progression. Perhaps a hybrid of both career and do it yourself would have worked better. They may have tried to do just that with the Driving Challenge tests, but they work more like the license tests in Gran Turismo 2. They try to incentivize you with money and unlocking custom soundtracks.

Id unlock the custom soundtracks feature as quickly as possible. Gran Turismo has always had a history with me of having an outstanding soundtrack. Gran Turismo PSP breaks the trend with an unbearable mix of bad techno. Fortunately you can just mute the games music and enjoy the sweet engine sounds if thats too much work. They arent the best, but you can tell that at least some recording was done -- a rarity for a PSP racing game, and something thats very important to me and perhaps most car enthusiasts.

If youre planning on getting a few buddies together for a few races youre out of luck if neither of you are in the same room. Apparently Polyphony are afraid of the internet and have made sure that it doesnt hurt you by excluding it from another Gran Turismo release. Thanks, guys.

Gran Turismo PSP could have been miles better, but as it stands it is a very competent racer. I went from completely hating it to loving it. Im not afraid to say that I was relentlessly cruel to it. Ignore all of that old drivel. Gran Turismo was forty dollars well spent.tag:destructoid.com,2008:151035Beneath the Pixels (Game Club) Announcement Post: Wind Waker2009-10-05T15:41:33Z2009-10-05T15:41:33Z[embed]151035:23287[/embed]
After a week long delay, Beneath the Pixels (recently renamed from Game Club) is now set to go. Ive got the details ready for all of you lovely people to participate. Though, Im not going to pretend I know what Im doing. No pretenses here. This could be a complete failure, but hopefully youre curious enough about it to participate. This way we can all fail as a group if things go completely bad!

Ive decided with the help of a few community members that the game to break the ice will be The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. It certainly isnt a particularly short game like I originally wanted, but it was something I have been wanting to play for a long time.

Since I havent played it, my two partners in crime did and have been able to help with finding a spot to stop. Ryu89 has decided that stopping right after Dragon Roost Cavern would be appropriate, so look out for that. We will. I dont mind if you play on ahead, but you wont be able to discuss anything outside of our stopping location on the post.

I realize that not all gamers play alike, but I doubt any of us are going to try to 100% the game. You might if you have time, but were going to be strolling through it casually. Thats going to be a lot of the fun, though. Its seeing how differently other people play the game. That goes for difficulty and which platform you decide to play any particular game on.

Were splitting the Wind Waker discussion into three parts. We should be done with Wind Waker by the end of October. Plans for the next one have not been fully thought out, but we have decided on possibly having the next game selection go up as a vote. Ill have a list of about 3 or 5 games and whatever wins will be the next topic. Again, all of us depends on mine and your motivation to keep this thing alive. Im a simple man, though. A small group of fans will more than likely be enough to keep me at it.

I should reiterate what Beneath the Pixels is really about to avoid confusion. Were not going to review a game. This isnt a buyers guide. This is us playing a game for a set period and having a quasi-educated discussion about it.

Well have 3 main community members -- one of which will be me -- discussing on the blog, and Im hoping that we will have discussion bleeding into the comments. This will only work with community participation, so I hope many of you have a copy of Wind Waker and a Wii/Gamecube laying around to follow us with.

So thats it! Look out for the first real BtP blog next Wednesday where well end the first part and start the second one. That will also be your chance to discuss your experience with the game in that blogs comment.

The three of us discussing this month's game are Jonathan Ross, Ryu89, and me.

Special thanks to Ryu89 for the new name and the idea of leaving the game choices go to a vote.

---------------

Got any game suggestions? Want to be a part of the blogs main discussion? E-mail me with the subject line Game Suggestion or I want in for the latter. If you want to be part of the three amigos, please leave your Destructoid username and the best way to contact you electronically.tag:destructoid.com,2008:149393NEW BLOG SERIES IDEA! NEED SUGGESTIONS! COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION A MUST!2009-09-21T14:07:19Z2009-09-21T14:07:19ZThat title reads like a Craigslist ad. Don't worry. I'm not selling sex.

This idea has been floating around in my head for quite sometime. See, RebelFM does a podcast weekly called Game Club. They pick an older (preferably cheaper) game, play up to a point, discuss it, and its rinse and repeat for about 1 or 2 more episodes. I wanted to try something like that, but scaled down a bit for the community blogs.

Instead of the usual 4 or sometimes even 5 man roundtable discussion I wanted to bring it down to 3 people. Anymore and I think wed have for too much text in one blog. However, it would be amazing if the people who are not in the weeks discussion would play along with us. Hopefully this will lead to very nice discussion in the comments.

Now let me make this clear. We will not be reviewing the game. And by that I mean that this shouldnt be used as a buyers guide. We will be free to discuss any spoilers up until the part in which we decide to stop playing for that section. The blog will be cut up into however many times we may need (max will probably be 3).

I know its nearing holiday season. Games are being released and were all becoming overwhelmed. Some of us cant afford to play an older game whether it be because youre broke or you just dont have time to play. Ill try to make this first one as easy as possible.

Well have to pick a short game. We dont want to spend too much time on what could be a failure. Though. if it does indeed become a failure hits wise but it ends up being fun for the writers theres no reason why we cant continue doing it. It will still be better to test the waters with a much shorter game. Im thinking maybe 6 hours tops. We can then figure out what changes we need to make -- what worked and what didnt.

So any suggestions? Know of any short games we can play? Leave a comment.

If you want to be a part of this little experiment, drop me an e-mail at alexandorator [at] gmail dot com.

Cross your fingers!

EDIT: Thanks for all of the suggestions! I'll start looking at all my options and will announce something on Monday!tag:destructoid.com,2008:148937Halo 3 ODST OST Samples: My Two Cents2009-09-17T03:33:25Z2009-09-17T03:33:25Z[embed]148937:22637[/embed]
Say what you will about the Halo series gameplay and story. I can understand when people tell me that they dont like it, but I will not have someone speaking negatively of the games music. It has been some of the most spectacularly memorable stuff Ive heard in a long while. Halo 3 ODST hasnt changed this.

With each sequel, Bungies audio team has always given that well known theme a slight twist. Marty ODonnell, however, has dropped the monks in favor of a more noir jazzy theme to fit the games slightly new direction. It sounds smoother and a bit eerie at times. Though Marty hasnt given up on those grandiose compositions there is a more personal feel to the score. Its a nice mix of epic and ominous loneliness.

Dont believe me? Check it out for yourself. Bungie released a few samples for your listening pleasure around 3 days ago. I thought you'd enjoy them. Just please dont make a mess of things once your ears orgasm.

ODST Theme
Rain
Traffic Jam
Neon Light

Rain and Neon Light are my personal favorite of the four. Theyre the two that encapsulate ODSTs new that noir lonely theme that Bungies Joseph Staten has been going on about. I do really enjoy the wailing guitars in Traffic Jam, though it does feel a bit montage "let's get pumped". Not that it's a bad thing. The subtle snare drums giving way to the aggressive violins and then transitioning to the savage electric guitar -- fantastic. Is that Steve Vai again, Marty?

So, what do you think? Dig the new music?tag:destructoid.com,2008:148668Halo 3 ODST Vidoc: "Terra Incognita"2009-09-15T04:22:12Z2009-09-15T04:22:12Z[embed]148668:22563[/embed]
Bonus of staying up this late is that I got to catch the newly released ODST vidoc. Yay for being a loser!

Not much that you haven't seen before, but it does give an inside look as to how ODST evolved from a small 3 hour game to a 8 to 10 hour full experience. There's quite a bit of information on the struggle of building New Mombasa with such a small team and such a small time frame.

There isn't much else other than rehashed information about the ODSTs being weaker than the Chief. It does seem like they're bringing the game back to the Combat Evolved roots, which is interesting I guess. I'm excited.

As some of you may have noticed, I am a pretty big Halo dork, and I guess this is a good place to let you all know how excited I am about the game's music. Between the Halo haters and the stupid frat boys, no one ever really talks about it, but Marty O'Donnell is quite the composer. I'd even bravely say that Halo has the best music in the first person shooter genre, and possibly some of the best video game music period (Portal's Still Alive doesn't count -- that was end credit music, so fuck you!). Across the entire series it has been consistently amazing. Check it out for yourself!

[embed]148668:22564[/embed]
There's also quite a bit of Rooster Teeth ODST related viral marketing going on if you aren't sick of that stuff. If you scroll all the way through the Red vs. Blue page you'll find it. They're labled "ODST. I'd also recommend you check their shorts. RT Shorts is in their videos tab -- quite good.

I think I've played Bungie PR enough. I accept Pay-Pal, Microsoft.

P.S. -- I call dibs on Sgt. Johnson, assholes.

C++0x Finally Becomes a Standard 398
from the c++-ain't-what-it-used-to-be dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
They said it couldn't be done!
They doubted us!
But we did it!
The ugliest, most fragile, hackiest, most garbled, incoherent, biggest mess of a programming language is now even more so!
It's nice that they finally got the standard done. But there's so much junk in there. The C++ committee was dominated by people who wanted to do cool things with templates.
Some years ago, someone figured out that it was possible to abuse the C++ template system into doing arbitrary computations at compile time. This developed a fan club. That fan club has dominated the C++ standards committee, because nobody else cared. So now we have a standard for C++ which supports template-based programming a little better.
Current thinking seems to be that,while template programming is too hard for ordinary programmers, the templates will be written by l33t programmers and then be used by the lower classes. Unfortunately, if anything goes wrong, the end user has to look at the innards of the template to find the problem. We went through this with LISP decades ago. Check out the MIT Loop Macro [cmu.edu], That finally became stable about the time LISP died out.
Note what isn't in the new C++. There's no more memory safety than in the old one. (Fans will say that it's safer if you only use the new features. Now try to call some library that doesn't use them.) So the buffer overflow attacks and crashes will continue.
C++ is the only language to offer hiding without memory safety. Hard-compiled languages from Pascal through Go have hiding with safety, as do all the major scripting languages. C has neither hiding nor safety; the pointer manipulations are right there in the source. There have been safe, hard-compiled languages without garbage collection, most notably Ada and the Modula family. Safety and speed are not incompatible.
Early on, the C++0x spec had "opt-in" garbage collection, which was perfect! You'd declare a pointer as a garbage collected pointer if you wanted that, but otehrwise no GC. That was useful for cyclic data structures, and otherwise you could ignore it.
Sadly, missing from the final spec.
After a month of coding Java and never having to worry every time I typed "new" I never looked back.
Modern C++ programmers don't need worry about typing "new" either; they use smart pointers to handle the "garbage collection" for them. Works great, and avoids the unpredictability, overhead, and performance problems of a garbage collection thread.
(yes, I know it's possible for reference-counting to leak if you introduce a cycle into the graph. That said, in the last ten years of C++ program, that problem has bit me exactly zero times)
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.

Request for help: First Grow Room Setup in Basement
I'm looking to start my first indoor garden. I have an unfinished room in my basement that I'd like to use. I'm planning on having a small operation: 7 plants (2 tomato, 2 chile peppers, and 3 herbs).
I have all of the equipment to support an NFT system (using two T5 lamps), but I'm trying to finalize how-to handle ventilation and air flow.
I have a radon mitigation system in my home and the EPA advices against installing additional exhaust fans in the rim joist of the homes that have these systems in place so I'm thinking that is venting to the outside is not going to happen in that way.
Another option I know of is a sealed room. That sounds quite intense and a bit more than what I'm hoping to start with for this room. The room is 7' x 13' feet and also contains a water pressurizer tank and the PVC for the radon system.
A third option I think I can do is vent into the existing duct work. My challenge here is that the rest of the basement is finished and the only duct work available in this space in for heating the bathroom above this room. The previous owner drywalled the ceiling of the rest of the basement so it's hard to know where other ducts run.
With all of that information I'm struggling with the following questions:
* Are there are other ventilation options available to me?
* Could I get away with utilizing oscillating fans, a dehumidifier, and a fan with a filter (basically a the same setup for a sealed room, but with the room not being sealed)?
* Is my only viable option a sealed room within this room?
* Am I over-thinking / under-thinking this or missing anything that I should be taking into account?
Thanks for any help in advance!
IMHO, you are way over thinking this. While I have never ran a NFT system I can't imagine one as small as yours requiring special ventilation and air flow considerations. Washing dinner dishes at the kitchen sink probably produces more humidity than your system running all day does.
Good luck
I'm not an expert on ventilation but from what I know it's a very bad idea to try to add additional fans to an existing system. Those exhaust pipes are designed to handle only so much air pressure and if you add a fan too much pressure might build up and the exhaust will find it's easiest way to get out, not necessarily the top of your roof.
If you tap into your heating duct you might have the same problem. Obviously you would need to create more pressure than your furnace fan produces and if the air is forced back into the furnace instead of the vent in your bathroom you're just asking for trouble :)
You said you're using to T5 lamps so I assume you just need ventilation to get some fresh air inside and keep the air temp in check correct?
If that's the case why not just have the room open, the fan will bring in fresh air into the room from the rest of the basement and control the humidity with a humidifier?
Why do you need an air filter, do you still have radon in the air ?
Thank you all for your replies.
SouthCountryGuy & slimak, thank you for calling me out on overthinking this. I will go with your suggestions to keep it simple for now and keep an eye on humidity.
slimak, w/r/t big rooted plants using NFT. I hadn't thought about that specifically. I want to make salsa year round, but I live in a northern midwest climate which doesn't allow for that. I'm pretty much a newb to all of this. Lots of books, Youtube videos, and forum reading.
Don't worry too much and try to keep it simple. If you're set on using a hydroponic system for tomatoes try a simple 5 gallon bucket with a net cup and air stone at the bottom. However the simplest way to start you off would be just growing it in a pot with some good draining potting soil. Hang the lights, put the fan on and and start learning. It's really not that complicated plus you've got people here who can help you

WTCC considering 'push-to-pass' system for 2014
|By Matt Beer
|Friday, January 4th 2013, 10:49 GMT
The World Touring Car Championship is considering introducing a 'push-to-pass' system as part of its next generation regulations.
The series will revamp its Super 2000 rules package for 2014, with changes including power increases and styling alterations to give the cars a more 'aggressive' look.
WTCC chief Marcello Lotti said an overtaking boost system was on the agenda as a further update, along with hybrid technology.
"We are not talking of a new generation of cars, but of a technical evolution of the Super 2000s that were launched back in 2002," he said.
"Further implementations will be studied for a later application, such as the 'push-to-pass' and a common hybrid system."
Lotti also confirmed that arrangements would be made to allow current-spec cars to continue in the series, and insisted cost increases would be kept to a minimum.
"Some will be happy, considering this as a simple updating of the championship, some will disagree, claiming that an increase of costs will follow," he said.
"However, I believe that Super 2000 proved that the FIA is capable to maintain the stability of technical regulations for a long period. And their efforts, joined with ours, made also possible to keep the costs stable.
"This evolution will continue to keep the running costs under control, however in the beginning investments on the new cars will be requested.
"And I can grant that, like it happens every time a motorsport series is undergoing a technical evolution, we will study a way to assure a balanced cohabitation between the current and the new cars."

April 19 – May 31 the Port Angeles Main Library is partnering with Olympic National Park to offer Poetry Walks, an ongoing event that is part of the Library's
Poets featured along the trails include Emily Brontë, Carlos Castaneda, Shel Silverstein, Gary Snyder and many more. Those who find themselves inspired to write a poem or take a photo while on one of the Poetry Walks are encouraged to share it on NOLS' Facebook page.
The Living Forest Trail and Peabody Creek Trail both start from the Olympic National Park Visitor Center in Port Angeles and offer pleasant 0.5 mile loops. In the spring, skunk cabbage, a native plant found along streams and other wet areas of the woods, blooms and provides vibrant color (and possibly scent) along the trails.
The Spruce Railroad Trail begins at the end of East Beach Road on the north side of Lake Crescent. The trail, on which which bicycles and pets are permitted, follows an old railroad bed for 4 miles. More information about all of the trails and both areas of Olympic National Park can be found at the links below or by visiting the Olympic National Park website.
Throughout 2014, the Port Angeles Library is offering monthly events and other activities, such as yoga instruction and bike maintenance classes, as part of the Get Moving! series. These fun, no–stress, free events provide opportunities for healthy–living novices, and initiates, to explore new fitness activities. All Get Moving! events are offered free to the public with the generous support of the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.

I did not know what to expect in Livingston and thought it would just be a short stay, but the people at the Iguana know how to have a good time. It is hard not to make friends here and the nights can get pretty adventurous. The staff are great at making something happen even if there is nothing. This might be the funnest social hostel I have ever been in.

Wall Street's not-so-super Tuesday: Dow posts worst drop this year
Last Updated: Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 09:29
US Stocks
Dow Jones
Wall Street
Greek debt crisis
Pic Courtesy: -
New York: US Stocks suffered their biggest losses in three months Tuesday, the first hiccup in a strong and steady rally to start the year. Wall Street worried about the global economy and waited while Greece pressured the last investors to sign on for its bailout.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 200 points, giving up more than a quarter of its 745-point advance since Jan. 1, the best start to a year in the US market since 1998.
The sell-off, which spread west from Europe, also interrupted a period of unusual calm on Wall Street. Before Tuesday, the Dow had not fallen 100 points for 45 straight trading sessions, the longest streak since 2006.
The decline of 203.66 points was the worst for the Dow since Nov. 23 and left the average at 12,759.15. It was only last week that the Dow closed above 13,000 for the first time since May 2008, four months before the worst of the financial crisis.
"When things go straight up and don't ever correct or have some sort of normal pullback, as an investor, that makes me nervous," said Ed Hyland, a global investment specialist with J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
The gradual rally had been powered by optimism about the US economic recovery. But investors realized that Greece's debt problems, Europe's economic problems and Israel's Iran problems were still very much their problems, too.
Stocks fell sharply from the opening bell and never mounted a serious comeback. The Dow was down as much as 227 points. All but one of the 30 stocks in the average finished the day lower. Intel managed a gain of 7 cents.
All 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor's 500 declined. Bank stocks, which typically take a hit when there is any reason to worry about Greece, led the declines, followed by industrial and materials companies, which depend on strength in the world economy.
Alcoa, which makes aluminum and depends heavily on world economic demand, fell 4.1 percent, the worst of the Dow 30. China revised its projection for economic growth on Monday to 7.5 percent this year, down from 8 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 20.97 points, its worst decline since Dec. 8, to 1,343.36. The S&P had not declined 1 percent or more for 45 straight trading days, also the longest streak since 2006. That year, the S&P put together 94 in a row.
The Nasdaq composite index dropped 40.16 points to 2,910.32. The Nasdaq last week broke through 3,000 for the first time since December 2000, during the collapse in dot-com stocks.
Last year, sell-offs like this were much more common. The S&P fell by at least 1 percent on 48 trading days, roughly one in every five. During the depths of the financial crisis in the last four months of 2008, it happened roughly one in every three days.
Stocks fell more than 3 percent Tuesday in Germany, Spain and France, and 1.9 percent in Britain. Greece stepped up pressure on private investors to swap their Greek government bonds for replacements with a lower face value and interest rate.
Major banks and investment funds have signed on for the swap, but it remains unclear whether hedge funds, which had already bought the bonds at a steep discount and may profit from bond insurance payouts if Greece defaults, will agree. The deadline is Thursday.
The swap is vital for Greece to cut its debt and get a bailout of euro130 billion, or USD 172 billion, from other countries and the International Monetary Fund. Without the bailout, Greece could default on its debt later this month and rattle markets around the world.
Bill Stone, chief investment strategist for PNC Wealth Management, called Tuesday's decline "fairly rational," considering how much the market has climbed and the economic worries in Greece and the rest of Europe.
"You need the pullback to give people opportunities to want to get involved again," Stone said.
The price of oil slipped USD 2.02 to USD 104.70 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. New York crude has risen from $96 last month amid fears of a disruption in global oil supplies driven by the potential for military conflict with Iran.
President Barack Obama said diplomacy can still resolve the crisis over Iran's possible pursuit of nuclear weapons and accused his Republican critics of "beating the drums of war." Iran dominated Obama's first news conference of the year.
The price of gold fell USD 31.80 per ounce, or 2.1 percent, to USD 1,672.10 per ounce. Silver, platinum and copper all fell more than 2 percent because of concerns about Europe and weaker economic demand in China.
"Global growth fears now are hitting home, and we're seeing selling across the board," said Matt Zeman, a market analyst for Kingsview Financial.
Yields on US government debt also fell as investors moved their money into what they perceive to be a safer asset. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.96 percent from 2.01 percent late Monday. Bond yields fall when their prices rise.
Among stocks making big moves:
_ Weight loss company Nutrisystem Inc. fell 10.9 percent after it reported a bigger-than-expected fourth-quarter loss and a disappointing outlook.
_ General Motors fell 5.5 percent after saying it will pay euro304 million, or USD 402 million, for a 7 percent stake in Peugeot, which will make it the French carmaker's second-largest shareholder after the Peugeot family.
_ VeriFone Systems Inc. rose 7.9 percent after the maker of electronic payment systems predicted a bigger-than-expected 2012 profit.
_ Apple fell 0.5 percent one day before the expected release of its iPad 3 tablet computer.

As his Red Bull Stratos freefall from the edge of space looms ever nearer, mission pilot Felix Baumgartner conceded for the first time that he does experience moments of anxiety. However, the 41-year-old Austrian finds reassurance in the kind of engineering details shared today at Sage Cheshire Aerospace, where the Red Bull Stratos science team introduced prototype technology aimed at taking him to the edge of space at 120,000 feet, and bringing him back to Earth - hopefully as a new record holder, but most importantly, safe and sound.

People generally understand what the term cremation means. When we are asked for a detailed definition, however, we tend to hesitate while searching for appropriate words. A suggested definition of cremation is the: "The mechanical and/or thermal or other dissolution process that reduces human remains to bone fragments." Cremation includes the processing and usually includes the pulverization of the bone fragments.
This definition covers a variety of technologies that may be applied in order to achieve reduction to bone fragments, including traditional flame-based cremation, calcination and alkaline hydrolysis.
