Considering that e-mail is the killer application of the Internet, this question seems rather unexpected. After all, every time we click the send button, things seem to work. After reading this article you'll be amazed at the journey your e-mail goes through and even more amazed that it sometimes makes its way to the intended recipient at all.
Part of the problem is that the underlying infrastructure of e-mail is almost 25 years old and broken. The famous Sendmail program of Unix was written in 1981, and very little has been done to update it. Other programs, such as qmail and Postfix, have improved on the basic Sendmail, but the work has mainly focused on removing the bugs and making the administration a little bit more tolerable. Considering that 70% of worldwide e-mail is sent using Sendmail, it's actually quite amazing that anything gets delivered.
The first issue is performance. Today, billions of e-mail messages are being sent on a daily basis; the volumes are incredible. Now consider that the average Sendmail implementation can only handle about 7,000 messages an hour. Not that you are going to send that many messages, but just think of a company with 10,000 employees and you can see how quickly the e-mail server can be overloaded on the outbound. Add the inbound flow and you can see how quickly you can get into trouble.
As the people increasingly feel more comfortable with the Internet and conduct more and more business on it, it's not uncommon to see e-commerce Web sites that enjoy 250,000 transactions a day. Each of these transactions involve some sort of an e-mail with a notification or confirmation of the transaction. Assuming that you have resolved the performance issues, probably using brute force and adding more e-mail servers, you still have to contend with another issue, the visibility into the delivery.
Suppose you send a message and it bounces, say because the quota was exceeded at the receiver's end (mailbox full). You read the bounce message and probably make a note to try later. However, if the sender is an application, chances are that the bounced message is lost in the ether of your systems and nothing is being done with it. This is cause for concern as it can negatively affect your business, for example, if the customer purchased a license of your software on your Web site. Suppose the process is that you send a confirmation message with the license key so that the customer can activate the software that was downloaded. Now consider what happens when that confirmation e-mail is not delivered. For one, you cannot recognize the revenues of that transaction, but you don't even know that. After a few days, the customer calls your support center to clear up the matter. That call, which could have been avoided, will cost you at least $20, and a lot more if your support rep cannot locate the e-mail in question. This touches on archiving e-mail messages for legal purposes or just customer support issues, but that is a subject for another article.
The issue of visibility into the delivery sounds simple, but it is rather complicated. When an e-mail server establishes a connection with another server, two things can happen: the message is either accepted or rejected. This rejection is called a synchronous bounce, and can be something as simple as a "user unknown" or "account closed." But even if you don't get this reject notice, you still can't assume successful delivery of your message. The reason is that you can get what is known as an asynchronous bounce, up to four days after your message was supposedly accepted. This bounce can be caused by any number of things, for example, because the recipient's mailbox was full.
You would expect that your e-mail server would take care of this, but the truth of the matter is that most e-mail servers don't give you the required visibility into the delivery of your e-mail. Most e-mail servers don't process the asynchronous bounces and, when they do, the reports aren't combined with your synchronous bounces and don't provide the granularity you require to make an informed decision over the final disposition of the message. For example, an "out of the office" message will be categorized as a soft bounce, when in reality it is not.
To complicate matters a bit more, every bounce has an associated code; however, every domain uses them in a different way, creating their own explanations as the associated text messages for a bounce code. So you are left having to read the actual error message that comes back. While this can be made to work for applications with some fancy programming, it's a moving target, since many domains constantly revise and update their reasons for rejecting messages.
Things will get really ugly when you start resending those messages without actually analyzing why they were rejected in the first place, an unfortunate but understandable mistake under the circumstances. Soon enough the ISPs will consider you a spammer because of your high incidence of "bad" e-mail. Soon thereafter, you will find that the IP address you use for your e-mail server has been blacklisted, with all the negative implications that brings, especially since e-mail is critical to your online business.
Is your e-mail being delivered? You now start wondering. As if the issues explained earlier were not enough, assuming that your e-mail makes it through the receiving e-mail server, now it has to jump hoops trying to avoid all the anti-spam and anti-phishing filters, which can simply drop your message, quarantine it, or place it in the junk folder of the recipient. In the first two cases, the intended recipient will probably never get your message, while in the last case the likelihood of the message being read is rather low.
This brings us to the issue of spam. While legitimate businesses are sending more e-mail for more reasons, the exponential jump in e-mail traffic every year is due to spam. Because of spam there is a very healthy industry dedicated to the creation and maintenance of filters that try to deter the delivery of these messages. The problem is that your message might also fall into this category without you knowing it. JupiterResearch states that 25% of legitimate e-mail goes undelivered. This might not be a big deal when it's personal e-mail, but when it's critical business messages, it becomes a real issue, especially when many users have lost trust in e-mail.
Thanks to spam, there is a change in the e-mail environment. Not only do you have the deliverability issues we already mentioned, but you also have a tough environment that is getting tougher as legislation and self-regulation impose a greater accountability on e-mail senders. Unfortunately, e-mail was not developed with security and accountability in mind. This accountability is crucial in solving the spam crisis and restoring the trust in e-mail that many have lost.
Accountability can be broken down into three efforts:
- Authentication: Where the identity of the sender is clearly established. This will deny spammers the ability to hide. There are various authentication standards out there, such as DKIM from Cisco and Yahoo!, and Microsoft's Sender ID, but there is no clear winner yet.
- Reputation: Which will associate the identity of the senders with their reputation. Today, reputation systems are mainly internal to the ISPs, where they allow their users to mark messages as spam, which creates a spam score per sender.
- Accreditation: If you don't have a reputation yet, or you have managed to damage yours, you can always go to an accreditation vendor, which will review and implement best practices and then allow you to add a special token to your messages that will tell ISPs that you are not spamming, and they will place your messages in the inbox of the intended recipient.
If your business involves sending e-mail blasts, which can go from a simple newsletter to what is known as permission-based direct marketing, you also have to comply with a few laws. In the United States the main law related to e-mail is known as CAN-SPAM. One of the things you have to include in every message in a blast is the ability for the receiver to unsubscribe. Again, this looks rather simple, but when you get around to fully implementing these functionalities, you will notice that it starts touching a larger amount of your current systems and ease of integration is one of those features you really want.
We all know how much easy integration can help us succeed on a software-related project. The e-commerce Web site has to integrate not only with the inventory and shipping systems, but also with the various financial systems. Each of these systems will, under certain circumstances, generate a confirmation or notification that will be sent via e-mail and has to be delivered. Very likely you will want these messages to be personalized, probably with something more sophisticated than "Dear Jane," so now you are talking about adding a few steps in the composition of the actual message, and soon you will find other things that you will want to add or you will be forced to implement in order to comply with legislation. Thus, ease of integration becomes vital.
By the way, if you think that using an e-mail service provider (ESP) is a solution to all these problems, think twice. They also use the same antiquated infrastructure you do.
So, is your e-mail being delivered? Well, chances are that you don't know and, as things get tougher and tougher in the e-mail environment, chances are that you will not be able to deliver anything unless you take action sooner rather than later. You are looking for not only an e-mail server, but an e-mail platform that can:
- Provide clear visibility and reporting into the delivery of messages
- Provide future proof support for the still-evolving authentication standards
- Flexibility for complying with current and future applicable legislation, reputation standards, and best practices
- Easy to integrate, be it via APIs or Web services
- High performance to grow with your success

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Pope to traffickers, arms manufacturers: God's judgment will come
Pope Francis denounced those responsible for human trafficking, slave labor and arms manufacturing, saying people producing weapons of war are "merchants of death."
"One day everything comes to an end and they will be held accountable to God," the pope said at his weekly general audience Wednesday.
The pope also launched an appeal to the international community to help safeguard children from forced labor, highlighting the plight of an estimated 160 million child workers worldwide.
In life and sports, aim to win, have fun, don't hog the ball, pope says
Pope Francis urged athletes to live life the same way they play sports: Don't hog the ball, don't fall back on defense, and make sure to keep it fun.
He also called on policymakers and communities to guarantee all kids have access to sports, education and jobs early on in life, "and I guarantee that there will be no addictions to drugs, alcohol and many other vices."

Pope: Half-hearted Catholics aren't really Catholics at all
Those who insist others pray and believe exactly like they do, those who have alternatives to every church teaching and benefactors who use the church as a cover for business connections may call themselves Catholics, but they have one foot out the door, Pope Francis said.
"Many people say they belong to the church," but in reality have "only one foot inside," the pope said Thursday at the morning Mass in the chapel of his residence.
"For these people, the church is not home," but is a place they use as a rental property, he said, according to Vatican Radio.

Konnichiwa Japan!!
... journey once we landed.
After arriving to Japan through Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan, we were amazed at how different the country was. Everything was different down to the toilets they used. We immediately took a cab to the temple we had planned to visit.
We drove all the way from the airport to Kyoto, Japan where the temple was, about an hour and a half drive. On the drive, we ...
Universally awesome.
... and we figured Friday would be quieter than the holiday weekend, ha! Wrong! Or if it was I'm glad we weren't there Saturday. All the big rides had pretty long queues of an hour or more but Harry Potter world?, you had to queue to get a time to get in a queue to get in the Hogsmeade area and if you wanted a butterbeer it'd be a queue of an hour to get a ticket for a queue for a drink. If you actually wanted to do the ride it was 220 ...
Sacking out in Osaka
... The freeways are all raised above street level. The housing is mostly apartments. They are interesting in that most are walk-ups even when 10 to 12 stories. The stairs are on the outside of the building. All of the cars are small and most are Toyotas. There are very few luxury cars in evidence…no Mercedes, Jaguars and no American cars. Not even any Lexuses!! Japan is obviously not doing as well economically as China.
DAY 18: Osaka School for the Visually Impaired (1)
Today I got the opportunity to visit the Osaka Special Needs Education School for the Visually Impaired (大阪府立ෂ 2;覚支援学Ċ 57;). In the morning I still had to bike to Hannan, which I thought was a bit useless, considering VISH School is actually closer to my house than Hannan is, and I didn't have any classes at Hannan today. However, I still headed to Hannan and since I wasn't ...

The officer at the entrance suggested us to pre-register or 'request for permission' to get in first anyway. So we did, and it had to be the next day at 10am. After that we have time left for another site that we hope still open, Kiyomitzu-dera Temple.
After quite a ride especially up hill we finally arrived to this Unesco's world heritage site. The temple ...

From a story today
From a story today on the Reuters newswire ...
Operating in growing numbers, the Taliban and their allies have succeeded in destabilizing large parts of Afghanistan and creating conditions that could undermine the U.S. military and central government. Aid and reconstruction is suspended across swathes of territory in the center, south and southeast, giving Afghans the impression the international community has abandoned them now the Taliban has been formally ousted.
Speaks for itself. Read the whole piece.

Stilldragon have set up a forum quite recently where you can ask questions about their stuff. You will get knowledgeable answers.http://www.stilldragon.org
This type of controller is discussed in great detail in threads at homedistiller.org.
MATTD2's comment is completely wrong. This design adds a resistive load to continuously vary the power to the heating element. [A PID works via on/off.]
If your setup only turns on/off, it's not wired properly or it's not the right SSR.
Some SSRs have different control methods.
This looks like a great controller: http://amzn.com/B00BXUCWQG
110V limits the power. I've seen better ones for cheaper on ebay. Search for "scr dimmer 220v 4000w"
Hrmmm...interesting. It's been a while since I have looked at the Still Dragon site. I actually purchased their 240v controller already built. I believe they had a guy in Texas do the build per order. It looks like they only sell the DYI kit now. I can tell you that the one I purchased works perfectly well and the components listed for the DYI are pretty similar to what I bought. Below is a pic:

This is a stretch

I find these coincidences to be interesting but just that: coincidences. None of the secret tidbits exposed in this video are substantive in any way, and I seriously doubt those are Woodrow Wilson's family members. Kubrick was a brilliant filmmaker, but I don't think this bears to light any hidden message about the Federal Reserve Act.

Valley of the Dolls along with ~200 other doll enthusiasts invaded Royal/T today! 8 dolls were raffled off – and yes, there were 8 distinct, VERY audible screams of excitement. The Valley of the Dolls pop-up store will be at Royal/T for a while so if you want to get your hands on a Pullip, Blythe, Taeyang, Dal, J-Doll and Ai Doll, come on by. Blythe is still our favorite but I think Pullip is the "hot" thing now. It was only a few months ago when we spent a crapton of money on those Re-ment outfits… we deviced this system where we weighed the Re-ment box to make sure we weren't getting the same outfits each time. HAHA. dorks.

The ongoing agitation against polluting plywood units situated in the midst of residential areas in Perumbavoor has assumed a new dimension with one of the panchayats issuing fresh licences for new units. The residents, under the aegis of Environment Protection Forum, have taken up the issue with the authorities and plans are afoot to intensify the agitation. A case pertaining to pollution caused by plywood units in Vengola panchayat is pending before the Supreme Court.
A Central empowered committee, which studied the problem as directed by the Supreme Court, had submitted a report. The report has thrown light into unauthorised operation of a large number of plywood units.
The residents had been given assurance by the authorities to curtail the operations of polluting units.
A halt to sanction of new units had also been promised by the district authorities, according to the activists. The new development was a gross violation of the assurances given by the authorities, Varghese P., a leader of the regional forum opposing pollution, said.

There is a vigorous campaign to get the states to call a Constitutional Convention for the purposes of passing a "countermand amendment." What is the countermand amendment? It is a rather lengthy amendment that purports to allow states to exercize their "unenumerated powers" in the 10th amendment. Further, according to advocates, they will call a "Countermand Amendment convention" for the sole purpose of passing the Countermand amendment. The name is presumably to placate those who oppose opening an Article V convention (despite the fact that there is no such kind of convention recognized in Article V, nor any prescribed limits placed upon it by the Constitution itself. Article V was not intended to be a "surgical strike" for a small failure or oversight (which was intended to be corrected via the single amendment process that has been used for all amendments passed to date. Article V was designed for an urgent systematic failure OF THE CONSTITUTION. This is an important distinction. Many of those who are calling for a Convention are doing so because of the results of repeatedly electing politicians who ignore the clear limits and prescriptions for power in the Constitution. As such, the problem is NOT the Constitution, and will NOT be solved by changing the Constitution, it will only be solved by electing politicians that abide by the written limits on their powers. The text of the amendment below is from the source:
Section 1. The Article restores State sovereignty in our Constitutional Republic by providing State Legislatures Countermand authority.
Section one states what the purpose of the amendment is supposed to be. However, in the Constitution, the only real matter of lost state sovereignty was the amendment that took from the states their representation in the Senate and converted it to a popular vote. The House was supposed to be the people's house and the Senate was supposed to the representation of the States. The Countermand amendment does not address this key erosion of state sovereignty.
Section 2. State Legislatures in the several States shall have the authority to Countermand and rescind any Congressional Statute, Judicial decision, Executive Order, Treaty, government agency's regulatory ruling, or any other government or non-government mandate (including excessive spending and credit) imposed on them when in the opinion of 60 percent of State Legislatures the law or ruling adversely affects their States' interest. When the Countermand threshold has been reached, the law or ruling shall be immediately and automatically nullified and repealed. This Countermand authority shall also apply to existing laws and rulings.
This section which purportedly allows states to rescind (nullify) illegal federal actions, actually greatly constrains it. It only permits states to refuse illegal power grabs when 60% of the states agree it is an illegal power grab
Section 3. From the time the initial Countermand is issued by a State Legislature, the other Legislatures shall have 18 months to complete the Countermand process. If the Countermand process is not completed in 18 months, then the law or ruling that is being challenged shall remain enforceable.
Section 3 further reduces the power of nullification. It says that the 60% must come to an agreement that the power grab is illegal within 18 months! That is one year and 4 months. Many illegal regulations and laws do not have their worst aspects felt for a year or more from enactment. Obamacare has taken years to have its worst aspects start to be felt!
Even further than that, it gives these illegal power grabs the full force of law if the countermand process is not completed within 18 months! This is absolutely terrible. It would have given such power grabs as the fugitive slave law, REALid, and Obamacare the crown of proper legislation, and would have prevented any states from resisting these actions! Illegal laws and rulings are thus given the cover of the Supreme Law of the land if opposition can be stalled or stymied for 18 months!
Section 4. Each State Legislature must complete their Countermand affidavit and deliver a certified copy to the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the Leader of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the United States, and when applicable the Government Agency or Body that is being challenged.
Section 4 is merely a procedural section.
Section 5. Any elected or non-elected government official, or any non-government individual or organization, who intentionally obstructs or prevents the implementation of any provision in this Article shall have committed a criminal offense and shall be subject to impeachment (when applicable) and criminal prosecution and upon conviction serve up to five years in prison.
Presumably, this would also apply to those state legislators, state or local courts, governors, and other officials who would attempt to continue to resist or nullify an illegal federal action beyond the 18 month window when such attempts were not joined and simultaneously completed by at least 60% of the states. 60% is highly unreasonable and 18 months is a severe limitation on the power of nullification.
Section 6. Individual States shall have authority to prosecute violators of this Article under State laws in the absence of Federal prosecution after 90 days from the date of the alleged violation. Multiple prosecutions, by multiple States, for the same alleged crime are prohibited.
Could this also be used by states who are supportive of the illegal federal power grab to prosecute those state officials who might continue to resist as well?
Section 7. The Article shall be immediately part of the United States Constitution upon ratification by three quarters of the State Legislatures in the several States.
Section 8. The provisions of this Article are enforceable within the United States which shall include the Several States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the territories and possessions of the United States.
TLDR / Conclusion: States should neither pass the Countermand Amendment nor call for an Article V convention, as this amendment will severely curtail their 10th amendment rights to nullify unconstitutional government actions, and will give constitutional protection to illegal government actions, if opponents cannot muster 60% of state legislatures to join them, or if the federal government or its allies can stall the opposition for a mere 18 months.

Nice guys finish last?
Thank you for your interest so far... I am the father of two beautiful girls and please know they are my main priorities.

I enjoy the usual... movies, live music, sports, etc. I'm told I have a great (and sometimes strange) sense of humor and can find laughter in nearly any situation. I love learning new things and enjoy reading. My ideal partner is well educated and has a good head on her shoulders. I'm pretty easygoing so feel free to message me with any questions.

How often are your watering your gardens now?
Daily? Weekly? Something in between? Just wondering.
I water my veggies once a week. I use a rain gauge to keep track of the amount of rain over the week, and make up mother nature's offerings to make it one inch per week. Say it rains 1/4 inch, I will water until the empty rain gauge hits 3/4 inch. Later in the season I'll water the tomatoes/melons about twice that if it gets too hot and dry.
I don't water any of my perennials. I figure if they can't get by on what MN has to offer, then they have no place in my yard - there are plenty of plants that do! Of course I water my containers every day if they need it. It's not their fault that they're confined to that tiny space.
BTW, I've heard that frequent short waterings encourage shallow root growth and that can be bad for plants.
I'm in NE PA, and with the exception of a few freaky summers we always seem to have enough rain to get by...
I agree w/ floragal about the problems of frequent quick waterings promoting shallow roots so I try to only water when the plants give a sign of stress and just let the hose at the base of the plant. I have been giving some extra water a couple times a week in the early morning to the veggie garden.
Seems like its been a few weeks since we've gotten any real rain so I'll continue to do so until we get some. I also like to put out buckets to gather rain water if I know a shower is coming and use that.
I'm watering my container plants at least once a week.
Newly planted perennials are getting watered about once every two weeks, depending on the rain.
The rest of the garden hasn't gotten watered since the mini-drought we had in May.
Once every ten days, I put a hose with a drip running for 24 hours on all newly planted trees. I have ten newly planted trees. So that particular hose is always dripping on some tree or another.
Otherwise I water deeply, much, much, much more than a splash, vegetable garden, pots, lawn, perrenials beds, annuals beds, and window boxes) once a week or when the plants at issue show signs of stress, whichever comes first.
I am watering my containers daily. New perennials (planted this week) will get a deep soaking every 3 days for 10 - 14 days, then once a week if needed to make up for lack of rain. Basically everything else is on it's own.
My new trees are getting a deep soak weekly too. I don't think you can water them too much the first year!

God of War, Gran Turismo, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption, Mario Galaxy—2010 had a lot of really big titles, inevitably leaving some of the smaller games released overshadowed, swept under the rug or just forgotten about. Here's a look at a few worthwhile games you didn't play that you probably should.
1. Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage (PS3, Xbox 360)
Though starting out a list like this with a game like Ken's Rage may seem somewhat questionable, there's an allure to this game that is hard to deny. With a feel that's slightly like God Hand (but far, far worse), Ken's Rage throws you into a bunch of near-identical, great-looking-yet-sparse Mad Max-style environs with a horde of bike punks and other freaks and tells you to get…exploding. Yes, in Ken's Rage, you're armed with all of four moves in protagonist Kenshiro's decidedly limited repertoire, whose end result is the bodily explosion of your enemies. As you might imagine, this is as entertaining as the Dreamcast's Sword of the Beserk. And about as fun. (There's also a crappy heavy metal soundtrack.) In short, Ken's Rage is a terrible game. And because it's that bad, it's actually kind of good.
2. Nier (PS3, Xbox 360)
Nier is a game that virtually no one gave any chance. And makes sense if you play the beginning: it opens in a semi-typical post-apocalyptic future wasteland, after which you're ripped away from desolation and into the somewhat primitive workings (it feels a bit like medieval times) of an obliterated world picking up the pieces. Playing as the brutish, titular Nier, an aged, single father taking care of his sick daughter, the game initially feels falls into the set patterns of a typical action-JRPG. However, once you get past the first few hours of the game, Nier starts to throw curve balls: not only are the developers completely of the kinds of tropes that litter JRPGs (a subject of frequent poking fun in the narrative and design) but it soon becomes clear that Nier's disparate cast of characters is hardly the set of stereotypes usually associated with typical contemporary Japanese games. Without giving too much away, gameplay follows suit, resulting several highly unique hybrids designs that make this much more than just a run-of-the-mill RPG.
3. Alpha Protocol (PS3, Xbox 360)
Say what you want about Alpha Protocol's buggy combat, questionable action mechanics and downright goofy stealth (certain abilities basically make you completely invisible even in well-lit areas until you raise a firearm); Obsidian was on to something with the way it handled their Mass Effect-esque dialogue system, interpersonal relationships among characters and consequences of behavior. Rather than just doing a sloppy cut-and-paste job with ethics-based conversation trees, Alpha Protocol let players choose exactly how you wanted to interact with any given character, whether that meant being a by-the-book straight man, a cocky 007-type, a smartass and so on. The genius of Obsidian's design here lay in that the game let you choose the tone of your responses, but not the actual response itself—essentially you never quite knew what your character would say. Given that every character, from agency contacts to arms smugglers, had a certain personality or demeanor, you were taking a calculated risk every time you talked to someone, and if you screwed up, it could change how that character felt about you, how much they trust you, and most importantly what information they might be willing to share. The pièce de résistance? If you didn't pick a response in the approximate five-second window Obsidian provided, the resultant flat or mechanical answer would usually have unfavorable consequences. The social system alone is worth giving this one a look.
4. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days (PS3, Xbox 360)
When Kane & Lynch 2 came out over the summer, it got a lot of flack for being an a run-of-the-mill third-person cover shooter. What gamers and reviewers alike both seemed to miss is that underneath its surface-level tone, Dog Days is actually a pretty fascinating and sophisticated genre case study. Yes, at a glance it's a typical run-and-gun scenario starring two gruff men with a lot of guns. But ignoring the immediately apparent aesthetic presentation around which IO crafted their gritty crime drama—an intentionally low-res look with artifacting, lens flare, pixelated explosions and other imperfections that make the game look as it was shot on an severely underpowered digital camcorder—is missing the point. Taking hits in Dog Days means your sense of vision is drastically impaired with this kind of visual refuse, and its nauseating shaky-cam, reminiscent of Paul Greengrass' violent lenswork in The Bourne Ultimatum, only furthers your sense of complete disorientation during the game's intense shootouts. Needless to say, when the bullets start flying, Dog Days so accurately captures the bewildering chaos of battle that grounding yourself in the reality of the situation (much less shooting anyone) can be very challenging. And that's not even accounting for the game's decidedly adult-oriented narrative.
5. Deadly Premonition (Xbox 360)
Deadly Premonition is a game that no one saw coming. From its earliest trailer, which more or less pigeonholed the game as a surreal-if-ho-hum House of the Dead-caliber B-movie horror game circa 1999, few people took any stock in it. Not even Ignition Entertainment, the game's publisher, seemed to have any faith in the title, releasing it at a budget price ($20) with zero publicity. However, the chronicles of FBI agent Francis York and his murder investigation in the rural American anytown of Greenvale are in reality anything but average. York holds out loud conversations with his invisible alter ego, Zach, throughout the game (while whoever York is with awkwardly endures his performance in silence), and Deadly Premonition's bizarre narrative often jumps back and forth from intentionally ridiculous, Suda 51-style humor to genuine horror, with a tone that's reminiscent of a Japanese David Lynch film, if the director wasn't such a pretentious bastard. The Resident Evil 4-style gameplay isn't always especially polished, but the script here is worth the cost of admission alone, and the open world of Greenvale is filled with events that you will never see if you don't know to seek them out. Far more than the seeming sum of its parts, Deadly Premonition is easily one of the most interestingly designed games of this console generation, and it's really entertaining, as well. This is a no-brainer.
