No current Talk conversations about this book.
Simply a classic! I remember reading this book in grade school along with seeing it (on reel-to-reel) a few times "back in the day". We are currently reading this one to our son at home & he absolutely loves it! Farm living and the cycle of life are two topics within the story. The story revolves around, Wilbur, a runt piglet who was raised by a little girl named Fern. the other farm animals do not take to kindly to Wilbur, but he does find a friend in a spider named, Charlotte. Charlotte helps save Wilbur from slaughter by writing messages in here web. Charlotte passes after laying eggs, but her offspring keep Wilbur company for years to come.
I liked this book for a number of reasons. The first reason I liked it is because of the point of view. The book is written from an outside perspective so there is not just the thoughts and ideas of one character. The reader knows what Charlotte is doing even when Wilbur was sleeping because of the third person point of view. I think that third person was a good point of view for this book because the reader was able to see what was happening in all of the character's lives. The second reason I like this book is because of the characters. Each of the main characters were well developed. Wilbur becomes a strong and confident pig by the end of the book which is a change from the shy and afraid personality he had in the beginning. Even with all of the fame he got, Wilbur does not let it all go to his head like some of the animals in the barn worried. When Wilbur first meets Charlotte is thinks she is going to be mean but she ends up saving his life. I also think the character of Fern is believable. She is a young girl that raises a pig and then goes to see him everyday once he is sold. I think that what she does and how she acts is very much like that of a young girl her age. The main idea of this book is the importance of friendship.
I enjoyed this chapter book for the three following reasons; the illustrations, the characters, and the plot. The illustrations throughout the book provided the reader with many depictions of the books two major settings, on the farm and at the county fair, perfectly. While Wilbur and Charlotte are traveling through their adventures with one another, the pictures provide a visual aid for the readers. One example of this is when Wilbur and Charlotte are at the fair, many photos were provided. This is great for some young children that have not been to a fair and have no knowledge about them. However, throughout the novel, the author provides illustrations for the readers to have a visualization of the beautiful scenery being depicted in the text. It is one thing to imagine the scenery being depicted and another to actually see what the author was imagining. The second thing I enjoyed were the characters in the story because they were well developed and easily relatable. The young girl, Fern, is a friendly animal lover. Wilbur is a rambunctious, caring and bashful pig. Charlotte is a wise, kindhearted, and loving spider. Throughout the novel, the characters change in many different ways. The final thing I enjoyed about this book was the plot. I found the plot to be well developed and the climax was great. Throughout reading the book, in the back of my mind, I always wondered if his owner would kill Wilbur. The main message of the story is the importance of friendship. This is a great book for young children who are looking for an interesting, well-developed book.
This is a comical book with a talking spider. It's also a classic and teaches good moral lessons. It would be a good book to real aloud as a class and get interested in chapter books.
Not only is Charlotte's Web well written, but it also provides vivid descriptions as well as colorful illustrations. When reading parts of the book, both at the farm and the fair, you can get a clear picture of both settings do to the authors choice of words and descriptions. Also the picture provide clear indications of what is going on throughout the story, which can help students comprehend. I also like that this book provides many life lessons such as the importance of being a good friend, as well as each individual has their own uniqueness.
"Charlotte's Web" is a classic story about a wise spider. An extension would be to discuss with the class a time when they helped out a friend by using their skills.
This book has liveliness and felicity, tenderness and unexpectedness, grace and humor and praise of life, and the good backbone of succinctness that only the most highly imaginative stories seem to grow.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0064410935, Paperback)An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:26:16 -0400)
Wilbur, the pig, is desolate when he discovers that he is destined to be the farmer's Christmas dinner until his spider friend, Charlotte, decides to help him.

has now confirmed that Sony's Next Generation Portable (NGP) console will utilize NVG cards to provide an extra layer of security, to quote:
"NGP games will come on an 'NVG card', a flash based memory system that will also be able to store downloadable content. When pressed, Hirai said the NVG card was developed to 'add an extra layer of security' in order to deter piracy, a hot topic after recent PlayStation 3 hacks."
Today Sony President and CEO
Jack Tretton
has unveiled the Next Generation Portable (NGP) handheld PSP2 console followed by details and
NGP pictures
from Social Media Manager
Jeff Rubenstein
To quote: PlayStation fans across North America will be waking up to some exciting news tomorrow.
At PlayStation Meeting 2011 in Japan a few moments ago,
Kazuo Hirai
, President and Group CEO, SCEI, introduced the world to the newest addition to the PlayStation product family and the future of portable gaming: currently codenamed NGP (Next Generation Portable).
When PSP first launched in 2005 in North America it changed the way people thought of portable gaming and raised expectations in regards to the variety and quality of games users expected to access while on the go. It has since become the go-to handheld entertainment system for more than 64 million users who seek home entertainment quality games along with access to their music, movies, photos and more.
With NGP we carry on this rich history of redefining industry standards and raising the bar for consumer expectations for what portable gaming can deliver. Designed to blur the lines between interactive entertainment and reality, the NGP will offer Wi-Fi and 3G network connectivity.
The 5-inch OLED front multi-touch display will bring brilliant images to life and the multi-touch pad on the rear will allow users to engage with the game and characters with a simple movement of their fingertips. Additionally, services created specifically for NGP will be available on PlayStation Network. These services are designed help users take their gameplay, as well as interaction with other gamers, to new levels.
While we here at PlayStation are thrilled to bring this cutting-edge technology to your fingertips, we all know that content is critical to the success for all of our platforms. I'm pleased to share that your favorite franchises will be coming to NGP, including Uncharted and Call of Duty. We are working with our extensive network of 3rd party developers and publishers as well as SCE Worldwide Studios to create experiences unlike anything else on the market.
Also announced this evening was
PlayStation Suite
, an entirely new initiative from PlayStation that will provide fans with the opportunity to enjoy PlayStation content on an open operating system for the first time in PlayStation history.
PlayStation Suite will work with Android based, "PlayStation Certified" portable devices - including mobile phones, smart-phones, and tablet PCs - to offer "PlayStation quality" content to users worldwide. In addition to providing a selection of PS one Classics, we are also working with developers to create new and exciting content that will be available on both PlayStation Certified devices and the new NGP when it comes to market.
I think you will agree that the incredible momentum behind PlayStation continues to grow with each passing year. While 2010 was record breaking thanks to an unsurpassed line-up of award winning AAA software, the introduction of 3D entertainment into millions of homes and the launch of our incredibly successful PlayStation Move motion controller, 2011 is already shaping up to be one of our biggest years yet.
Below are the complete NGP details from
PS Blog
, as follows:
Today in Tokyo, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced the next generation portable entertainment system (codename: NGP). NGP will make its debut at the end of the 2011, but here's everything you need to know right now.
Key NGP features:
⢠Multi-touch 5-inch organic light emitting display (OLED) as the front display

This looks very interesting. Am waiting to see if the touch sensitive back is put to good use or not.

Would be nice to be able to sync up your ps3 controller, and have a TVout HD cable, with the ability to output games to HDTV. Although it wouldnt work for any titles that use the two touch areas.

I'd imagine the system will have plenty of onboard storage because it'll primarily be driven by downloads and i doubt they'll sell writeable nvg cards as thats a security problem waiting to happen.
Actually no apparently the cards will be used to store "downloadable content". great so I've got to buy the download then the medium to store it? This thing better get hacked in the early days or it'll tank faster than PSP.

I want to know more about these NVG cards.. how much data they can hold, what they look like, and also want to know if the NGP is going to have ANY on board storage. Would be nice to be kinda like the PSPGo with on board storage, then the option to add you own.
But again, that would just drive the prices of this thing already seems its gonna be close to $400 as it is, but with the due date being so late in the year, who knows what will come out between now and then hardware prices could drop causing the price of the machine to actually be right where the 3DS is expected to be (and if so, i would imagine Nintendo would have to drop price of the 3DS!)

ARM® Cortex?-A9 core (4 core)
That's a hell of a lot more power than any phone on the market. I'm pretty sure this thing knows EXACTLY what it wants to be: a high-performance gaming device. The only vaguely phone-ish feature I see is 3g connectivity which would likely require some sort of carrier data contract, and its since been revealed that there will be a wifi-only version available too.
Now the one feature that I have yet to see mentioned that would really help sell this device for me is HDMI-Out. I rarely have the need for a high-end gaming device on the go (though its nice to have on those rare occasions that I am traveling long distance), but if I could plug this thing into my home entertainment center and pair a couple Sixaxis/Dual Shock3 controllers to it via Bluetooth. I could treat it just like one of my other home consoles, and it would get a lot more use.

In my opinion i think NGP is going to be the successor of the PSP. Its got a multiple amount of features
which is great for developers.
Even the Developers at Gears of War were saying "its a perfect device for a Gears of War-style game".
Seems to me that its going to be a great hit

thats true running android isn't a bad thing, it's a great OS but what I mean is the device doesn't know what it wants to be. What's the point in lugging one of these around and a phone when the only difference is a handful of first party exclusives won't be available.
Way that up against the fact there is nothing even remotely innovative about it apart from a touchpad in the back which will be used in gimmicky games for six months then thats it, sixaxis control because that was such a winner on the ps3? even the games line up looks like the same sony core lists with nothing new or exciting in there. Their biggest push at the minute seems to be ports but whats the point in that?
It's just my opinion but as far as I'm concerned there's no reason to either buy one or have it on a ludicrous data contract when it's just a powerful broken phone.
#26 -

I can find no mention anywhere of Android, and the 'Playstation Suite' is actually something entirely separate from the NGP, quote 'On the software front, SCE plans to provide PS Suite content within this calendar year, starting with original PlayStation games 2 (PS one classics) that will allow users to enjoy "PlayStation quality" gameplay on their Android based portable devices.'
So it's basically just a way to have capable Android hardware run PS1 games and PS Minis.
While there's a possibility it could turn out to be Android based, Sony have not said such at present.
If it does end up being the case, this could mean good things for hackers!
#25 -

nope runs on android actually, by the time its released the cpu and gpu will be used on phones (already in development) not to mention the nonsense that is "playstation suite" so games will be cross compatible with sony approved android phones. The "all new software interface" is just a custom skin over the top of android.
#24 -
- 217w ago
I think you're referring to the Xperia which is an entirely separate device. The NGP doesn't look anything like a phone and runs an all new software interface.

My colleagueJohn Carney is half right in his opinion piece about Libya —and where he is wrong he is wrong for the best of reasons.
Carney has taken the position that a US enforced no-fly zone in Libya should be avoided in favor of offering Qaddafi the carrot of amnesty in exchange for his immediate departure from the country.
Here is the backbone of his anti-no-fly zone argument:
Now that senior senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties are putting pressure on the Obama administration to put a "no-fly zone" in place over Libya, it's incumbent that skeptics of this kind of belligerence speak out.
Last summer, Barack Obama promised a new education program that would produce 8 million more college graduates by 2020.
Few people at the time raised the obvious question: do we really need an additional 8 million college graduates? Where's the evidence for a coming shortage of college educated workers?
There's a clever meme bouncing around cyberspace: It's an online quiz from New York Magazine.
Despite almost universal recognition that the failures of the credit ratings agencies to perceive and disclose the risk in asset-backed securities played a pivotal role in setting the stage for the financial crisis, they're still an integral—and legally mandatory—part of our financial system.
They're so influential, in fact, that they can effectively veto efforts to regulate them.
Recently the ratings agencies exercised their veto power over attempts to subject them to liability for faulty ratings.
A successful Wall Street career requires people skills. In the first place, you need to know who to avoid. Unfortunately, however, it's not enough to avoid people. There are some people you absolutely have to make your allies.
Parties, presents, cake—these are the things that come to mind when most people think about birthdays. You don't typically think of famine, disease, or oppression. But I would argue that it's when we're at our luckiest—one year older, one year wiser—that we should be thinking of those who aren't so lucky.

I am writing a batch script which I wish to open a file and then change the second line of it. I want to find the string "cat" and replace it with a value that I have SET i.e. %var% . I only want this to happen on the second line (or for the first 3 times). How would you go about doing this?
I just solve it myself. It will lookup var on line two only.
But I prefer using cscript (vbscript or even jscript).
First of all, using a batch file to achieve this, is messy (IMHO). You will have to use an external tool anyway to do the string replacement. I'd use some scripting language instead.
If you really want to use a batch, this will get you started.
This would be ugly to do with native batch scripting. I would either

Can someone send me a Gravity Badgers download code in exchange for either a Duck Hunt (NES), Metroid Fusion (GBA), Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga (GBA), WarioWare (GBA), F-Zero Maximum Velocity (GBA), A Link to the Past (SNES), Art Academy SketchPad (Wii U) or Pikmin Short Movies (Wii U/3DS) download code?
This is really nice. Are there live videos of this band performing Makna Forest, Valak Mountain and Eryth Sea?
Expected. This is an openworld-Zelda after all. And openworld games take way more time to develop anyway.
Good, now we don't have to rush through Xenoblade X which will probably take 200+ hours.
Huh, where are the Phoenix Wright games?
My question: Is Nifflas doing the soundtrack? If so, I'm on it day 1. How many tracks are in there, how many hours of music?
Knytt Underground had an amazing 3 hour soundtrack. One of the best on Wii U, or should I say in game history? Up there with my other favourite soundtracks EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Tetrisphere, World of Goo, and the DKCs. Also, 8.99€ for that 20+ hour game was such a bargain, so I'm more than happy to spend a bit more on his new Wii U game.
That argument about the game's price is funny though. Cheapskates. Probably mobile phone players. No respect for quality exclusives that use Wii U proper.
No need to argue. On Wii U it can have both types of control: double analog, and pointer. Both are perfect for this kind of game.
Bring Mysterious Murasame Castle to Wii U VC... it's one of the NES games I never played and would like to check out since I've played Samurai Warriors 3.
I grew up with 8 bit games, so I have a soft spot for these kind of graphics and music.
But I don´t like many of the old games. Due to their lack of save points many are too difficult and frustrating. The other thing is, there are no hardware or file size limitations in a modern "pixelgame". Anything is possible and much more surprising.
I also prefer modern 8-bit games over new Virtual Console releases. I love to play retro-looking games on Wii U and find them more appealing than original NES/Atari games nowadays. And I played hundreds.
I prefer HD home console versions instead of 3D portables. So yes, any good 3DS game that gets a polished Wii U port is gonna get my support.
I´d love to see both games combined for a more fitting (bigger) home console experience though.
I completed Underground 100% and found it quite enjoyable! It´s a very atmospheric and original puzzle game / construction adventure mix.
One of the few good and unique Wii U exclusives. Now that a few months have passed (since the EU release) I´m ready for a sequel.
Wish Grendel Games success!
It´s crazy how this relatively small indie team achieved to make their own hardware. Respect for that! Probably one of the biggest curiosities and the most risk-taking game to ever hit the Wii U.
The Wii U GamePad is the best controller Nintendo made so far. The perfect size, feels as it was made for my hands, or for normal hands in general instead of kids hands. Obviously don't need to mention the other unique, practical and comfortable features.
I don't like playing 3DS and Xbox One because their controllers give me cramps. I wish I could use the Wii U GamePad for my 3DS and Xbox One. I bought a 3DS XL but it's still too small. The games are great but the controls aren't fun. I skip the New 3DS and hope the next Nintendo console is a hybrid: a Wii U that can also play 3DS games.
Anyway, since Wii U can be played with a bunch of different Nintendo controllers it's always nice to see when a developer puts all options in.
I can't wait for Elliot Quest to release in Europe next month.
They got $4 million dollars on kickstarter for Mighty No. 9 minus $3.8 million dollars for the losses on Marvelous' Kaio.
That's still $200.000 left for MN9 and that translates to: 10 people with a monthly paycheck of $1600 working for 12 months on the game. Still a fair amount of money and time for a medium sized indie team, wouldn't you think?
Nothing against a clone.
1. There should be good clones of good games that aren't available on the system.
2. There should be good clones of good games that can't get on the system because of legal reasons.
And since there's not a MineCraft clone on Wii U I'm all for it.
I don't know how close this is to MineCraft (as I don't know every MineCraft pixel by heart), but it's concerning, so please don't rip off the graphics straight and try to do your own thing, or your game gets pulled and no one is happy.
Kid Icarus with a Chrono Trigger map. Sold.
At least it did appeal to me, a longtime puzzle adventure core gamer. With 25 years of experience in this genre is was blown away by Toki Tori 2's ingenious puzzles, outstanding design and wonderful audiovisuals. I paid 13,49€ on launch date and thought it was worth much more than that.
One of the indie highlights on Wii U and my number 1 favourite Wii U eShop game of 2013. After this I went to buy everything Two Tribes had to offer, and while all of their games are great, I still think Toki Tori 2 is much better than everything else they produced so far.
As for RIVE, I'm excited to see if they can pull off an action game as (so far) their strength is in quality puzzlers.
Let them be vicious cannibals!
Wii U has the TOP3 'Best Shooters of 2015' in their pipeline:
1. Splatoon
2. Starfox U
3. Devil's Third
And RIVE!
(Didn't count Metroid Prime Trilogy which was already released this year).
There are Nintendo fans that like shooters, but they need to have pure gameplay, like the ones above. Wii U fans don't really want those scripted hellzones that feel like 50% movie and 50% game.
Oh, I'd get it for nostalgia. Love how they nailed the oldschool graphics.
A nice throwback to classic systems. It doesn't seem to be much more than that though. If it's around the price of a SNES game (7.99) retro platformer fans like me certainly pick this up (on Wii U).
Wii U has 3 Warriors games already. There's really no need for more.
1. Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper
2. Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2
3. Hyrule Warriors
and if you want you can also play the Wii games
4. Samurai Warriors 3
5. Samurai Warriors Katana
I have more than enough Warriors games. Hyrule Warriors alone will keep me occupied for the rest of 2015 and when I finally complete it I'll need a long Warriors vacation, especially with Xeno and Zelda on the horizon.
If Tecmo Koei could stop this Warriors overflow and bring Project Zero 5 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms U over to the west, that would be more interesting.
Since there was a Shovel Knight cameo in Armillo, I always wondered why there wasn't an Armillo cameo in Shovel Knight...
Looking forward to Plague Knight and multiplayer content.
Battletoads and Kratos? Seems random. Is this an extra level or something?
If the Nintendo version gets a cameo, Link from Zelda II or Meta Knight sound alright, but I guess it's not easy to license those characters.
Anyway I'm not suggesting or wishing for anything, wanna be surprised and see what they come up with.
Need multiple choice votes.
OlliOlli and Mario vs DK for me.
When are you allowing multiple answers?
First day sales?
Well, it was released alongside 5 other eShop games in NA,
and alongside 1 other eShop game in EU.
Launch day sales are generally better when not much else is released on that day.
Also, Europeans love puzzle games.
I think UK sales are better because people in UK know BLOK DROP U.
Germany doesn't have access to BLOK DROP U so BLOK DROP X is new/unknown to them.
Oh oh, Guacamelee and Spy Chameleon also have the Trollface. Not as a main character but as a (secret) cameo. Hope those games don't get removed.
Trine 2 - Director's Cut is the number 1 indie megaseller on Wii U in almost all regions, and the reasons are probably really nice detailed HD graphics and a beautiful presentation and introduction that seems to lead into an immersive world, unique gameplay, co-op 3-player local and online, voicechat, all original content + all DLC content in one package, and everything expected like off-tv-play and no bugs. It helped that it was a launch game and has a good demo too, so I wonder what happened to Trine - Enchanted Edition for Wii U.
However, Trine 3 looks like a different beast. Much more exciting.
My main issue (a minor one) with Trine 2 was that stages were too long, lasting around 20mins each. And a deep forest wasn't just one relatively long stage. It was a series of several relatively long forest stages. I personally prefer shorter stages (then it's easier to take breaks when playing with friends and more comfortable when you missed items/collectibles). That, or a map.
@sketchturner: you nailed it. amazing stuff.
Good you pointed that out. If you want Pac-Attack with 2-player mode on Wii U you need this SNES version because unfortunately all GBA games on Virtual Console don't have their original multiplayer link feature.
But if you don't care about multiplayer, just get the GBA Pac-Man Collection where you get this and three other games for less money.
Scram Kitty is pure action skillz, for gamers not for players.
I wasn't into the silly cat theme, but the spot on controls+physics and the fresh challenging fast on-rails action were totally doing it for me.
Can see the similarities between this and a Treasure action gem. They really nailed that uncompromised 16bit arcade shooter feeling.
Obviously Dakko Dakko's next game has a reserved space on my Wii U menu.
A spiritual BK successor would be a great start for them to show off and I certainly have my ekambokam ready for a fun modern retro-inspired 3D platforming collectathon. But secretly, I can't wait for their spiritual Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps successors.
99% of my games glitch out sometimes.
unfortunately hyrule warriors is the 1% that never glitched.
i can live with N64 graphics as long as the game is good.
More of this potentially good "at-least-we-try" kind,
and less of the flappy "coded-on-a-weekend" kind.
Just hope it doesn't rip off Banjo-Kazooie beyond having a main character duo and being a 3D platformer. If this has absolutely no original ideas that's way worse than unappealing main characters or blocky graphics.
I vote Donkey Kong 64 because Nintendo probably has to change it anyway to rerelease it. They probably need to edit out some stuff like the Jet-Pac arcade game, and the Expansion Pak issue, which are two of the reasons a Virtual Console release is impossible.
If Diddy Kong Racing isn't counted because of a DS version, then Super Mario 64 should not be counted as well, as there's Super Mario 64 DS.
I'd like to see sequels of SM64, Pokémon Snap, F-Zero, 1080, and S&P, but on Wii U.
Link transforming into a wolf in front of a crowd and the crowd not realising it is Link. I explain that one with Midna's shadow magic. The crowd/normal people don't see Link transforming, they just see the wolf suddenly appearing out of nowhere, as if the seconds before never happened.
Flashlight horror adventure from Germany on Wii U eShop? Wollen wir!
Could be a great addition to the library of indie horror on Wii U, next to Master Reboot, Lone Survivor - The Director's Cut, and How To Survive.
@RaphaBoss Wasn't complaining. Just referencing posts above and joking because some people think 20 bucks is too much for a pretty good, relatively new game that's 40-50 bucks anywhere else. I guess Nintendo should have added HD to its title and sell it for 59,99 and everyone would be happy.
Fire Iwata and let him take his games Kirby, Smash, and EarthBound with him! That's what real fans want!
But really, can they please stop Wii and focus on bringing more new games? Like Rainbow Curse in Europe!
Drop the Wii support already. Everyone has a Wii, the games are all available. We could have already bought them all. In fact most of us have those games already and can play them on Wii and Wii U! No need to waste time making extra download versions. So please stop it. I'm very disappointed I paid 50 bucks for Kirby's Adventure Wii and 50 bucks for Super Mario Galaxy 2 just 3 years ago, and you can get them for 20 or 10 now on Wii U???
Same for Metroid Trilogy. Paid 150 bucks for the games, and now fans can have it for only 10?? Sucks!!
They all look pretty interesting.
More of this pls.
Must have.

The first Kirby Paintbrush game on DS was difficult and kinda frustrating at times. It still got very high scores (9/10's everywhere) for being fresh and innovative and a good challenge.
This however, being a tad easier, and having a 5-player mode, and looking miles better, is certainly more fun.
Nintendo could remember and learn from their NES launch.
This NES poster has a colorful mix of games for everyone.
Mario games, all the most popular Sports genres, Zapper Shooters, Puzzlers, Racing, Pinball, Adventures, Gimmicky Robot hardware games. If they could only launch with such a diverse quality line up nowadays.
This kind of advertising still works today.
Wii U had a slow start but now it has all the different important genres covered. Make a modern poster showing off the diversity Wii U has now! Include the best of 3rd parties and eShop too and a reminder that all the 1000+ Wii, WiiWare, and VC games work on Wii U.
Those investors are evil. Nintendo should buy themselves out of them.
If I was a Pokémon fan I'd bury my Pikachu today.
Very frightening to see this becoming a thing in future Animal Crossing, Smash, Zelda or Mario Kart games.
In 5 player mode this is decent fun, as the physics are pretty good, and no cheating and buggy CPU players interfere.
But single player modes are underwhelming and don't even come close to the content and charm of the 20 year old classic and ultimate reference Ironman's Super Off-Road.
Looks like some simple fun arcadey one-screen multiplayer jump&run.
Is it co-op like Bubble Bobble or versus like Mario Bros.?
Don't mind the cameo. But it sure is unexpected.
Here's a list of indie cameo characters people like:
CommanderVideo (from BIT.TRIP RUNNER)
Shovel Knight
The Clone (from Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones)
Toki Tori
Juan Aguacate (from Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition)
Scram Kitty and/or his Buddy on Rails
Ray (from Stick It To The Man!)
Sugar Plumps (from Little Inferno)
Mi (from Knytt Underground)
Lemeza Kosugi (from La-Mulana)
The Player (from Retro City Rampage)
Quote (from Cave Story)
Patricia Wagon (from Mighty Switch Force!)
The Boy (from Teslagrad)
Shantae (from Shantae and the Pirate's Curse)
The Poet (from Tengami)
The Swapper
Rusty (from SteamWorld Dig)
The Vice President (from Citizens of Earth)
Daniel (from UnEpic)
Edit: Huh weird format glitch.
Really put off by its cheap visuals. Fortunately the price point prevents harsher crticism.
Yes, gameplay is most important, but... It's like a lady.
If you don't like how she looks you don't want to... go to dinner with her.....
except when you're starving.
I'm in the final chapters of the first Bayonetta (20+ hours in, playing on Normal difficulty). And when it's done I'm going straight into Bayo 2.
I love this game, the combat is nice and the graphics are sweet, but I'm playing for the story. Yes, I like the story and for me it's the strongest point of the game.
However, halo farming (to buy all the things) is kinda annoying and time consuming, but maybe I'm missing something. Help?
It's a 1.99 game and the core gameplay seems good.
I don't mind the art style. I rather like it.
And I love a good puzzle game.
But no highscore saving really hurts games like this one.
The developer should consider adding that feature in an update.
Then I'd like to get this (if it ever gets released in EU.)
The emphasis is on "seamless",
seamless transitions between areas (like the overworld of Wind Waker).
My favourite part is you stay immersed: There won't be hardware limitations/distractions like loading screens that pull you out of the game world.
I'm not totally sold, but "content for 2 games" is always a good deal.
And that it's an underrepresented genre on our Wii U made by a prominent quality developer.
I can see myself picking this up, the character designs are badass. I only need confirmation that the gameplay is badass too.

Raleigh Robbery: a man accused of using a yellow "wet floor" sign during a robbery has found himself behind bars. On July 14, a man known as "rock" screamed, hollered, and demanded money from a woman at a tobacco store. He snatched her money and hit her in the the head with the "wet floor" sign. He is now at 201 poplar.
Anthony Cardella of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, got dumped by his girlfriend and decided the best way to get her back was to play the sympathy card. So he asked a friend to shoot him three times in the back and chest, in exchange for cash and pills. But the friend only shot him once in the arm and said he was done. The story unraveled while Anthony was in the hospital, and the girl never bothered to visit.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Use your favourite RSS aggregator to stay in touch with the latest commands. There are feeds mirroring the 3 Twitter streams as well as for virtually every other subset (users, tags, functions,…):

Sometimes commands give you too much feedback.
Perhaps 1/100th might be enough. If so, every() is for you.
my_verbose_command | every 100
will print every 100th line of output.
Specifically, it will print lines 100, 200, 300, etc
If you use a negative argument it will print the *first* of a block,
my_verbose_command | every -100
It will print lines 1, 101, 201, 301, etc
The function wraps up this useful sed snippet:
... | sed -n '0~100p'
"sed -n" - don't print anything by default
'0~100p' - starting at line 0, then every hundred lines ( ~100 ) print.
There's also some bash magic to test if the number is negative:
{N:0:1} means we want character 0, length 1, of variable N.
If it *is* negative, strip off the first character ${N:1} is character 1 onwards (second actual character).
Uses the extremely cool utilities netcat and expect.
"expect" logs in & monitors for server PING checks.
When a PING is received it sends the PONG needed to stay connected.
IRC commands to try: HELP, TIME, MOTD, JOIN and PRIVMSG
The "/" in front of IRC commands are not needed, e.g. type JOIN #mygroup

Bash process substitution which curls the website 'hashbang.sh' and executes the shell script embedded in the page.
This is obviously not the most secure way to run something like this, and we will scold you if you try.
The smarter way would be:
Download locally over SSL
> curl https://hashbang.sh >> hashbang.sh
Verify integrty with GPG (If available)
> gpg --recv-keys 0xD2C4C74D8FAA96F5
> gpg --verify hashbang.sh
Inspect source code
> less hashbang.sh
> chmod +x hashbang.sh
> ./hashbang.sh
Streams youtube-dl video to mplayer.
syt 'youtube.com/link' 'anotherlinkto.video'

VPS server hosts suspect DOS attack if PPS is too high. This limits packets at the interface level. Do "sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent" to make persistent, or, if you already have, reconfigure with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent"

Updated according to flatcap's suggestion, thanks!
Prior to working on/modifying a file, use the 'install -m' command which can both copy files, create directories, and set their permissions at the same time. Useful when you are working in the public_html folder and need to keep the cp'd file hidden.
Full command:
for f in input/*; do BN=$(basename "$f"); ffmpeg -i "$f" -vn "temp/$BN.flac"; sox "temp/$BN.flac" "temp/$BN-cleaned.flac" noisered profile 0.3; ffmpeg -i "$f" -vcodec copy -an "temp/$BN-na.mp4"; ffmpeg -i "temp/$BN-na.mp4" -i "temp/$BN-cleaned.flac" "output/$BN"; done
This was over the 255 character limit and I didn't feel like deliberately obfuscating it.
1. Create 'input', 'output' and 'temp' directories.
2. Place the files that you want to remove the hiss/static/general noise from in the input directory.
3. Generate a noise reduction profile with sox using 'sox an_input_file.mp4 -n trim x y noiseprof profile', where x and y indicates a range in seconds that only the sound you want to eliminate is present in.
4. Run the command.
There are lots of different cow options to use, this script will show them all
If you want to create fast a very big file for testing purposes and you do not care about its content, then you can use this command to create a file of arbitrary size within less than a second. Content of file will be all zero bytes.
The trick is that the content is just not written to the disk, instead the space for it is somehow reserved on operating system level and file system level. It would be filled when first accessed/written (not sure about the mechanism that lies below, but it makes the file creation super fast).
Instead of '1G' as in the example, you could use other modifiers like 200K for kilobytes (1024 bytes), 500M for megabytes (1024 * 1024 bytes), 20G for Gigabytes (1024*1024*1024 bytes), 30T for Terabytes (1024^4 bytes). Also P for Penta, etc...

Wiggins Mentions

Marion Jean
Turner Wiggins, 68, rests now in the arms of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He called her Home on February 27, 2014.
Marion was born on October 3, 1945 in Port Arthur, Texas.
She graduated as the Valedictorian of her class from Thomas Jefferson High in 1964 and went on to graduate from The
University of Texas
in Austin with a double major in Mathematics and English in 1968. She was also a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority. While attending school in Austin, Marion wed her husband and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
Soon after, she began her teaching career at Westchester Sr. High School in Houston where she was everyone's favorite Algebra teacher. She retired in 1979 from Stratford Sr.High. to later begin private tutoring which she enjoyed for over 20 years. In 2008, she and her husband moved from Houston to their ranch in New Ulm, TX. There she enjoyed her many animals including 3 horses rescued by the SPCA that they have nurtured back to good health. A member of Chapelwood United Methodist Church, Marion was also instrumental in launching Mercy Street, a casual Saturday evening service for anyone seeking God. Beautiful, charming, witty and talented Marion excelled at absolutely everything she did. She loved interior design, gardening, her horses and solving Wheel of Fortune puzzles at lightening speed. However, it was only after she rededicated her life to Christ, that she found her heart's true desire, to live for Him. Holding on to God's promises, she prayed without ceasing for His will to be done in her life and to become all that He created her to be. Everyone who knew her saw God faithfully complete the work that He began in Marion. She was an encouraging, loving and dedicated friend, mother and wife. Approaching every challenge in life with a "can-do" attitude and a thankful heart, she truly believed that "all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 When she learned that she had glioblastoma brain cancer on Jan. 5, 2010, Marion made a decision to remain positive and allow this trial in her life to be an opportunity to glorify God....through her unshakable faith and God's grace, that is exactly what she did. Not one time, after 5 surgeries, 4 years of chemo and 62 rounds of radiation did she complain. Rather, she praised God for everything He was doing in her life and remained joyful through it all. Marion found the silver lining in every situation. She was such a blessing and an inspiration to all who know her.
Preceded in death by parents, William Riley and Maudry Turner of Port Arthur, TX and brother Derald Wayne Turner, Sr., of Houston, TX.
Survived by her loving daughter, Laurie Wiggins of Houston, TX and her husband of 48 years, Fred Wiggins of New Ulm, TX.
Marion Wiggins fought the good fight, she finished the race and she kept the faith.
Memorial Service and reception to be held Friday, March 7 at 11 a.m. at Chapelwood United Methodist Church, 11140 Greenbay, Houston, Tx 77024. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chapelwood.

Kelly Brook's Single Booty In Leggings
In case you didn't hear the good news (well, the good news for us, at least), Kelly Brook and that meathead fiancé of hers called it quits. Which means now Kelly's officially back on the market, hence these great pictures of her booty in leggings. I think it's the first good look at that booty of hers we've gotten in months. Anyway, according to my sources, Kelly's house-hunting in these pictures. But until she finds a place, she's always welcome to crash with me at my place. I don't think my mom would mind.

Will Titanfall sustain popularity on the PC platform?

I am debating PC or XBO, due to this very question.
XBO will have the community going for longer. Even obscure games on 360 still have small communities while the PC counterparts are beyond dead. Probably because there's 200 bajillion games to choose from on PC.
I'm probably picking it up for XBO because of this.

The Imperial Truth is a Lie
I got it on PC and even though its not relesed yet there are tons of people on already due to that exploit. i think it will be fine. have fun with no AA and 720p on the xbox one.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Thereal50inchDLP -contains my Dreamcast project of putting HD vids of each US game up.http://bf4stats.com/xone/LouErina
The game isn't exactly pretty to begin with. If I want pretty I'll just boot up Crysis 3 or BF4. Having a longer lasting/bigger community seems to be a good trade off for crappy graphics considering no single player. Considering there is no real pre-order bonus to speak of I'll wait this one out and see how things turn out to make a proper decision though.
XBL/PSN/NNID/Steam:DementedLullaby Origin:DL8286

The game is seriously fun. It'll last.
It wont stay ass active as some more popular games. But there will be plenty of people to play with.

Don't know, don't care. It's fun to play. When it is no longer fun to play, I won't play it again. Who cares if it is some super-leet competitive fps. Look at CS. That is pretty much considered the epitome of competitive fps on pc right now and it's one of the more boring games I've ever played. I find it hilarious that people still care about competitive fps games anymore. I guess that they just like hiding in corners for entire games trying to get a couple kills. Personally, I'll take fun over that crap any day of the week. But, then again, I don't define myself by my kdr in video games like socially maladjusted teens and twenty-somethings these days.
Asus P8Z68-V LE | Core i7 2600K | 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 | Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Windforce OC
PS3 | PS2 | PSP| Wii | 3DS | DS | X-Box 360 | X-Box | NES
Itll be more popular on console. I think even PC players who have consoles sometimes buy games like this on console for this very reason.
Plus not like theres much else happening on xbox one.
All I know is I got it for 49.99 tax free on PC and im playing 1080P lol. This game is the most fun ive had in a shooter since COD4.

Its irrelevant to any true PC gamers.
I play games to have fun.
The F is a "true PC gamer" and what is different about them compared to any other gamer that seeks this medium as a form of entertainment?
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battlestations
