Carolina Reaper
Hey, new to this site, but far from new to growing.
Habajalokia or whatever his name is killed the last Carolina Reaper thread, so resurrecting it.
I started germinating the seeds on March 16. Will keep you posted. The last thread was full of rather ridiculous comments and speculations. 99.387% of the posts were useless.
How about a factual thread... featuring comments by people who are growing them (or at least have first-hand knowledge)? That's the intent here.
10 bucks for 10 seeds (actually, there were 14 in the packet)... so if they don't pan out per the hype, big deal. Sheeesh... a lot were acting like they were going to have to take out a second mortgage to buy them.
We need a new "world's hottest pepper"... Scorpions already have me bored. I hope these live up to the hype in the press... by the end of 2013 we will all know.
Hi Cuda911, yeah the other thread I killed, things were said that should not have been so I killed it. I agree keep it factual and this will be a good thread. We won't know if its the hottest pepper unless its tested officially in 2013. But grow on and let us know what you think on heat and flavor. I grow the Ghost and will for years to come because I like the flavor. Trinidad Scorps to me have more of a habanero flavor and I am not growing again this season maybe in later seasons. Have a good growing season and post pics, I would be interested to see how they grow, taste, and how the pods look.

beinnerpepper: Nice reaper. Mine is 9 days older than yours but not nearly as nice looking. But I am having an issue this year and will be repotting all my plants today. I hope mine picks up and I will try to update it's progress as the season wears on.
I agree, lets keep this post on track. I bought 2 packs of seed from Puckerbutt. Recieved them very fast.(3 days). Of the 2 packs i got 23 seeds and 19 of them came up and are growing growing good. Time will tell how hot they are, but i am happy with puckerbutt and will buy from them again. John
Yes, I would suggest we keep supplier names out of this as much as possible to avoid the problems we had with the last thread. If someone wants to know possible suppliers, then it is pretty unavoidable but try to keep opinions on individuals to a minimum.
Bill: Those are absolutely perfect looking plants.
I didn't bother ordering reaper seeds this year, but I wish I did.
Here is a youtube taste of a guy in South Africa who is growing a lot of varieties of peppers, and has taste tested many - and this is his Reaper vid.
Curious as to what you guys that are growing them this year think about them. Seems to be worth a grow. I personally don't really care if it is the hottest on Earth, but really curious as to the relative heat levels as compared to the other super hots, the productivity of the plants as compared to the others, and most importantly, the TASTE! I am sure you gurus here will be making powders and sauce from them, and I would love to hear the results.
March 26 2013: One of the 6 seeds I started germinating on March 16 just popped his head out of the soil today. Hopefully the rest will soon follow.
Yep, Azorean, I have all sorts of plans for sauces, powders, etc. So far, I have never had the "perfect" sauce (just like I have never had the "perfect" pizza or nachos). All three are my holy grail(s). I guess I just have to develop them all myself. I'll be working on a Carolina Reaper/Wasabi sauce if these peppers pan out, for the ultimate one-two punch.
I watched a few YouTube videos of people eating the Reapers. Everyone ended up throwing up. Yuck. But, they all seemed to enjoy the flavor before the capsaicin got 'em.
Paul Tonkin has a go at one of the Reapers - HP22b, A-strain. No vomiting, I think. Paul Tonkin Carolina Reaper pod review
In a Facebook chile growing and tasting Group, we had various growers such as Ed Currie, Jim Duffy, John Ford, and others discussing this particular pepper and the strange conditions of its release. There were some heated comments, of course, and some real tooth-pulling to find information. Finally, Bart Meijer did the legwork, made the phone-calls, and put together an interesting blog with Ed's info on the Carolina Reaper. For those interested in the documentation of the heat, as well as some of the issues with the public release, check out Bart's blog. He's Dutch, so be easy on his English.
Growing, tasting, and using chillies: HP22B "Carolina Reaper"
Hey there I have some Naga Viper seeds would you want to exchange some because those plants look awsome! My Viper seeds produced great this year althought theyre still small plants. Got them from PepperJoe if you wanted to know. Let me know what youre thinking.
Started these at the end of February. 100% germination and pretty hardy plants. I live in northern ohio and the weather can change fast and dramatically, so these things have been moved inside and outside a lot and only have some minor sunburn to show for it. I got the seeds from the infamous pepper joe
FYI they are inside now because it rained for like two days straight and then it went from around 80 degrees to below 40 degrees in less than 48 hours. I woke up this morning freezing and my first thought was oh no my plants. I rushed them inside and they seem to be ok.
I know I didn't know any better at the time but keeping my fingers crossed. This is my first year trying to grow peppers and i wanted a super hot I had never heard of. I didn't know about the controversy or the hype until later. Pepperguy I'm in the Akron area. What is topping??? I am guessing I should have done that lol. Any pointers for a new grower would be greatly appreciated. I have 16 different varieties going 50 plants.
Nice pics guys. My single reaper plant is still only a few inches tall. I just hope I can nurse it along to get some good pods off it before the season ends up here. Weather has really hurt me here which has compounded my struggle with starting the plants earlier this last winter.
Some fine looking plants there growers!!!!
I am new to growing..and I mean NEW....
I have 1 reaper plant 35 trini scorpions and 35 bhut Jolokias as well...
I will be here looking for tips I am sure, got started late this year, but I will be ok. ( i hope)
It is real pleasure to read this thread. I was so far from Carolina Reaper due to a very long hot thread, hotter than any hottest chili of GW I have read here :-).
All these nice pictures draw my attention to grow CR. I'd like to try next season. How is the flavor, is it better than ghost? I like the flavor of ghost.
I have a CR growing. Pretty small right now but actually putting out several buds already. If I can get some good ripe pods off it, I will be sure to send you some seeds if I can also send a pod and you will agree to eat it and let us all know how it tastes.
So I have good sized peppers on most of my sweet, mild and medium variety plants, but I do not have any blooms or flowers on any of my hots and superhots (specifically my carolina reapers and multiple variety of habs) whats the deal? Of course the ones I want the most. Is there anything I should do? Should I be worried?
Scott: "Is there anything I should do? Should I be worried?"
Yes -- be patient. No.
Chinense varieties take considerably longer than annuums. If you look closely at your chinenses, you'll probably see a bunch of flower "buds." It's just a matter of time -- a long time for the impatient.
update. major disappointment. the plant above is either a unstable plant, a crossbred plant, or someone put the wrong seed in the pack. I am going with the wrong seed. this plant is absolutely loaded with pods and I mean loaded. problem is they are sure not reapers. I posted pics of the pods in a group I am in and was contacted by ed as to where I got my seeds. ed is a good fellow and I hope he can get to the bottom of this. the good news is I still have one plant that is producing reaper pods in my garden and two at another location that appears to be producing correct pods. I sure hope no one else has this happen to them. and we are not here to bash any vendors, because I know someone will want to.
I am worry about my super hot chilies. Last year I had habanero none of them were HOT they looked like habanero and taste like bell pepper :-) I thought due to the lack of light they were not very hot, I am not sure. Now I have lights and probably I'll know this time.
I hope most of you have grown in the natural light/sunlight so you may not have problems of HOT. I do not know grow lights can give the HOT it supposed to be.
Well, very nice pictures, and thank you to keep this forum very active and useful.
Cuda 911, "Carolina Reaper/Wasabi sauce" it sounds great, could you please explain to me how to prepare it? I have grown some wasabi again after 2 times failed this time probably it would be fine. Instead of wasabi I can use horseradish too, fresh roots are available here.
Kypepperman, it was actually a very tatsty pepper for the first minute till the heat kicked in. Has a very floral odor with a slight sweet / citrusy taste.Flavor similiar to that of a cayenne with heat of a typical 7 pot. No earthy hab flavor. You can taste the chinense flavor but it is not overpowering. Would make a great sauce or powder.
U..G ..L.. Y ....You ain't got no alibi......you UGLY!!! That's some very intimidating pods you have there. Are you planning on eating one, or a piece of one when they turn red? I'm interested to hear as many reviews as possible, If they pan out, I'll be begging for seeds. Please keep us posted.
Geez Bruce....live a little. Maybe you can try a sliver on a cheese cracker. I need reviews so I know whether to grow them next year or not. I think after seeing kypepperman's pics, I'd grow them just for looks. Those things are beautiful/scary!
Peppernovice: I will try to remember to send you one and you can let me know how it tastes. Otherwise, I am not likely to every find out.
Right now, it looks as though my CR is dropping blooms but that is to be expected. Too cool and wet here now. It looks like the rain will let up here after today but still highs in the 70's and lows in the lower 50's for several more days. Things look to be improving towards the later part of next week and I am hoping that the conditions are favorable for some pods to set soon.
Here is one of my Reaper plants with ripe pods. I am going to pick the 2 ripe ones here after dinner. I have to eat one because of a stupid bet I made with my wife (I can spend money on pepper stuff if I eat one of each of what I grow, DUMB me....)
Here is one of the two pods after I cut it open. This pic is right after a ate the one on the left. (Dang wife forgot it hit play on her Iphone to record video)
I scraped out the seeds to save and left the placenta in tack. I ate it hole minus the seeds.
Cutting it open, first thing you got was the smell of flowers to me, kinda like a Lilly. Very strong aroma must nice smell. Once I popped it in my mouth you could taste a floral sensation almost fruity. I would say it took about 15 seconds or so before the heat came. Plenty of time to savor. Once the heat built up, it surrounded the tongue. No real throat burn. The heat kept building for a few minutes and went all they way to the back of the tongue but still not to the throat. After about 7 minutes the heat in the mouth/tongue started to subside then it attacked the lips pretty hard. That for me was the most intense part of the pain once it got to the lips.
All in all, nice tasty pepper and hot. Would I say the hottest I ever had, no chance of that. I have had Bhuts much worse.
Bill/Missy......... Never let anyone say that you don't suffer for the love of this hobby. I wonder if the first pod or two will be a little low on the heat level. I know several times I've picked the first pod of the year and was disappointed at the heat level, only to pick one later and get significantly higher levels of heat. So far you and Jamie have tried one and both said it wasn't as hot as you thought it would be. I will be interested in hearing what the second or third pod is like. Then we will know if it's really hot or not.
Bill......I'll take you up on that offer, but it will be more like a piece, maybe half. I doubt I'll eat the whole pod.
You guys talk like it wasn't any big deal. What I am getting is that it wasn't nearly as hot as advertised, yet it had some good heat. Sounds like the flavor was interesting if not desireable also. I guess I won't know since a Habanero would light me up. Worst I had was a tiny piece of Naga a couple years ago. That was enough to curb my curiosity severely. My adventurous teen years a long gone.
I just checked my reaper. It has a few new pods and is still producing a lot of blooms. They are too small to get a feel for how they are going to look when mature but as they get bigger, I will post a photo. I think I will go out and bag a branch so I can get some isolated pods/seeds to harvest this fall.
I am looking forward to some feedback on the heat. I am sure they will be quite hot, but for me, anything over a Habanero is too hot to quantify. I am hoping some of the fire eaters out there who can actually discern the heat level over a million will be able to chime in towards the end of the summer.
Okay, maybe not the hottest, but surely the UGLIEST. Whew!
FWIW, I had good luck having someone send me some pods in the mail last year. Used First Class standard envelope and the pods got beaten up very little - a lot less than one might suspect. I'd do it again. So when sending a couple ounces of pods, save some money.
I'm with Mark, btw. I grow Ghost for taste as well as for its fearsome reputation. CR sounds interesting.
"I have had Bhuts much worse"
You didn't get the same pepper that I did. you sure that isn't a cross? Your pods don't look like a reaper.
Here's some of my pods. I grow bhuts too and these are much hotter. I dehydrated one and ate a little piece, maybe 1/4 of the pepper dehydrated, and it made me feel nauseous.
Tony469 wow that's a huge pepper bush great job on the size of it. Once it cools down it will be loaded down with pods can't wait to see an update when it's full of pods.
Junkyard your pods look mean, and looks like a true reaper pod. Thanks for the review and pics. I may just have to grow it next year.
That is an awesome looking pod. In regards to mine possibly being a cross, I do not know. From my understanding this is the first year for this pepper but I am not completely sure. I bought these Reaper seeds from a online supplier that is/was in the heat of the "The newest hottest pepper in the world" campaign.
I have 5 reaper plants growing and this pod came off of the only one that is setting pods. I have a few pods that look a lot like yours, may I picked it to early or... Who know, I sure don't. I am a first year grower and still learning.
We've been comparing Ghost and Butch T's with the Reapers in salsas and buffalo chicken. We've used less Reaper in the mixes and so far everyone who has tried them say that the Reapers are far hotter and with a more intense burn than the Butch T's.
The salsas with Ghost powder is like a Fourth of July sparkler in your mouth and throat. And the Butch T's are just plain dangerous. But these Reapers just seem to attack with a more aggressive burn.
I'm sure there are lots of variability with the plants in flavor, heat, and shape. I kept two of the 11 Reapers I planted from seed received from PuckerButt. The pods from one plant all look like gnarly, leprous scorpions... the way they should look and these just look like they want to hurt you. The second plant has a mix of these shapes as well as pods looking more like a ghost...all of these pods have a more glossy look to them as well.
So we've all been pleased with the results and reactions from the Reapers. We have people at work freaked out. No one will grab anything edible in our aisle without first asking "is it hot?"!
The difference one zone makes. My plants (no Reapers, but several other super hots) are in containers and are only half that size right now. If they were in the ground they would be even smaller.
If you have any seeds you would care to share come fall I would most definitely be interested.
Rob seems like that could take a very long time just to get the right seed ....from the reviews i have read and seen it looks like everyone that bought reaper seeds this year are growing true non reaper plants ......outside of a couple that did get 1 or 2 plants to grow somewhat true out of the 10+ seeds they bought . not good odds that's for sure
BTW 1 of my Reaper plants is for sure not a Reaper its loading up with tons of non reaper pods like most of the others are claiming just not sure if it's from a cross a mix up in seeds they sent or just not as stable as the creators are claiming . will be checking on my other reapers i have growing over the next few days .

Here is my largest Reaper plant. It is 54" tall and planted in the ground. It has a 100 plus flowers on it but only one pod. Hope these flowers will turn into pods soon. This thing grows about 2" a week. That is a Butch T to the left of the Reaper and a NuMex Twilight to the right of it.
This post was edited by Bill_Missy on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 19:03
And the one pod that is on it...... Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the other 100+ flowers to turn into pods?? I give fert about every 2-3 weeks and rotate between Alaska 5-1-1 Fish Fert and MG 24-8-16. It is facing the East and gets morning sun and some afternoon sun. Total sun hours about 7-8 hours then full shade. No bugs/insects. It does at times have a leaf drop and a flower drop here and there. Gets a good amount of wind and grows like crazy. It just will not set pods.
Thanks for any advice.

The news :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Carolina Reaper- CBSnews
Hi Bill, ease off the high dose of nitrogen, this is why it's growing so fast and big, nitrogen encourages the leafy growth, stick with just the Alaska fish since that's a lower dose of nitrogen, 5-1-1. After you cut back the nitrogen you will see more pods set.
Thanks guys and gals. I am thinking the weather may have something to do with this also, maybe? It has been in the mid 90's to high 90's with the humidity at 100% during the day and night highs around high 70's. Could this be a factor?
Thanks Mark for the advice on the fert. Is Alaska Fish fert 5.1.1 or should I find something with a higher P - K? I only give fert every 2-3 weeks and alternate. It is just so frustrating to have 100's of flowers and only one pod.
I have read that Blossom set spray may help. Thoughts....
Again, Thank you all for the kind words and advice.
Hello everyone.
I have caught the pepper bug :)
started small with some jelopenos and grew my red savina habanero. so great to eat the red pepper after your cared for it until harvest. Needless to say it was dam hot and i am hooked.
Is there anybody in South Africa that has Ghost pepper seeds and Carolina Reaper seeds as i am now going to redo my whole garden to peppers only (which my wife is not happy about lol).
Looking forward to commenting more on this forum from now on.
I live in Alaska and started growing my first set of Carolina Reaper and Scorpion Peppers from seeds on 2 Jan 14. My husband set me up an indoor greenhouse using a 4' table and grow lights, heat mats and silver pipe insulation to keep in the heat. My plants are now huge and already producing peppers. Does anyone have an idea of a good fertilizer to use not that I'm getting peppers? I've been using Chili Focus and Open Sesami (early flowering) Beastie Bloomz (mid flowering) and Cha Ching (late flowering)

I want to grow this pepper but I doubt my abilities on getting the seeds to take off... There is some listings for the plants on amazon.. Do ya'll think it'd be safe to buy them? I have bought plants before on amazon but I worry it may not be the actual plant..
Y'all have some very nice plants
FAR TO MANY seem to not understand the fact of the Reaper strain.
Its unstable even into 2014,junk suppliers have unloaded the trash can and many people suffer with the results now.
Please dont pass off your "likeness of" Reaper pods or seeds.
Reapers are deep red,not orange
The true burn effects the throat intensely,yes even the seasoned chili heads will attest to this.
Do your part to clean up this Reaper madness mess,grow them true with integrity,unlike the founding fathers.
Im a beginner with Reaper and Bhut peppers so have a question regarding extreme temperature. I live on central Vancouver Island in Canada and I started growing my peppers from seed around mid april (10 Bhut, 10 Reaper) and my success was about 98%. I transplanted them into 4 inch square plastic pots and they took right off and were about 4 inches tall with fantastic leaf growth until today when my wife moved an entire flat of mixed ghost and reapers (8 plants) into full sun and placed a clear plastic dome over them about an hour before i noticed them ( its about 80 f today) Needless to say, when I noticed this i immediately removed the dome and picked up the flat to move them into shade ( it was hot to the touch) and the plants were wilted to where they looked dead so i added some cold water to each pot and Im now waiting to see if they will bounce back... so my question is , What are the chances my peppers will survive this hour long heat trauma? Are they hardy enough to withstand extreme temperatures for short periods of time? Im worried i might lose all but 1
I would not worry yet. I have done a similar thing here in Manitoba growing indoors this spring in a greenhouse. I had my small plants all wilt due to the sun, which heated the inside of my greenhouse. And the zipper was also closed which aided in the heat. I realized this after coming home from work, so I opened the door that evening and by morning they were all looking at me saying it was alright after I apologized to them all for making a mistake. You should see them now....
I am not sure on condition, but I would have refrained from the water unless the soil was completely dry. Just my .02
Hi guys! Could somebody do me a favour please? Could somebody send me a fresh carolina reaper pepper? I really want to try one and I can't find any shop where I could buy it and I'm a terrible gardener :) In exchange I will send you some money ;) or if its there somebody from Manchester we can meet..

Hi, as a 1st time chilli grower from north Scotland, here is my first pod from my reaper. My plants were grown from seeds planted in January and have sat on a sunny west facing window sill which gets great afternoon summer sun. Of my 2 reaper plants, none of my pods are showing the tails shown in others pictures. They were quick to germinate and they are in close proximity to scotch bonnets which flowered around the same time. Do any of you reckon I have SB/reaper crosses? Many thanks.
No. Crosses don't work that way. They show up in the *next* generation.
Carolina Reaper isn't stable so a given plant grown from "Reaper" seed may produce pods that one wouldn't recognize as Reaper. Enjoy them as you may, but don't use the seeds. Use seeds only from plants that produce true Reaper pods.
P.S. If PJ won't stabilize his strain, then we have to help him.
They generally self-pollinate so if the flowers are open, then they're doing what they do.
You may see pods, but you are way past the window for a normal crop. If you get any ripe, it will be inside, possibly in early November. There is a reason we sprout superhots in January.
That is a very nice looking plant and you will have a running start next year. Good luck.

Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Thursday announced a special scholarship scheme for elite sportspersons, under which the government will spend Rs.1.25 crore to nurture sportspersons capable of winning medals at international competitions such as Olympics.
An official release stated that five sportsmen or women will be chosen and steps taken to prepare them for winning medals at international events. The amount will be utilised to provide them training and quality food, enable them to take part in competitions held in other countries and procure high-tech equipment.
The scheme will also cover measures to help coaches improve their skills.
To encourage better participation by school and college students in sporting events, she doubled the financial assistance for school and college students bagging medals at national level, from Rs.5,000 to Rs.10,000 and from Rs.6,500 to Rs.13,000 respectively. Due to the increase, the total expenditure incurred by the State government will be Rs.39.76 lakh, the release said.
Ms. Jayalalithaa set aside Rs.50 lakh as recurring expenditure to award Rs.1 lakh, Rs.75,000 and Rs.25,000 respectively as prize money to three toppers in 20 categories of athletic competitions for the State-level Chief Minister's Trophy. For developing local games in villages, she sanctioned Rs.62 lakh for 31 villages.

French DJ-cum-filmmaker Quentin Dupieux, aka Mr.Oizo, invaded the cinema landscape rather abruptly through his Dadaistic effort Rubber, following a killing tire in a twisted slasher formula. The comic element aside, Dupieux knew what he was up to since the first minute, not only in the opening scene of Rubber, featuring its unforgettable manifesto "No Reason," but also in his films to come. (He had previously tried his hand at filmmaking in the unfinished Nonfilm and the adequately bizarre comedy Steak.)Rubber marked a new chapter in the filmmaker´s career building his own topsy-turvy world. Wrong demonstrated his potential, not only through the absolutely ridiculous story of a dog-obsessed protagonist but mostly through the stylistic and formal solutions that blended into Dupieux´s personally-bred brand of poetics. The expansion...

Whether you love him or hate him there's no arguing the fact that there's simply nobody else quite like Rubber and Wrong director Quentin Dupieux these days. The musician turned director has been baffling and / or delighting audiences around the globe with his drily absurd sense of humor for a good few years now and he did the same at the Venice film festival this past year when he premiered his latest effort, Realite.Boasting an international cast that includes Alain Chabat, Eric Wareheim and Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder. As usual for Dupieux this one resists meaningful synopsis - plot points really aren't the point of a Dupieux film - but here's how Venice described it:Jason, a quiet cameraman, dreams of directing his first horror...

Seamus Heaney's "While all the others were away at mass" has been chosen as Ireland's best loved poem in a poll. From Clearances III - In Memoriam M.K.H., 1911-1984, it recalls a morning he shared with his mother, peeling potatoes.
Harvey loved Heaney's work and he would have thoroughly approved of this choice. I'm posting this as a belated tribute for St Patrick's Day, in memory of my two mothers. One was connected with Ireland by birth and one by marriage.
When all the others were away at Mass
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes.
They broke the silence, let fall one by one
Like solder weeping off the soldering iron:
Cold comforts set between us, things to share
Gleaming in a bucket of clean water.
And again let fall. Little pleasant splashes
From each other's work would bring us to our senses.
So while the parish priest at her bedside
Went hammer and tongs at the prayers for the dying
And some were responding and some crying
I remembered her head bent towards my head,
Her breath in mine, our fluent dipping knives–
Never closer the whole rest of our lives.

Travel Day from Citra to Bonita Springs, FL
We departed Grand Lake RV and Golf Resort near Citra this morning at 9 a.m. We spent yesterday and two nights in that park and is my favorite thus far. The majority RV'rs of the park are winter full time residents and our location was on the fairway of the 9th hole of this small 9 hole course. Arriving late Friday afternoon, we enjoyed walking the paved roads for ...

Everything is tired and worn looking. Gravel roads throughout the park with huge speed bumps. We stopped for the night so we could do our laundry and only 2 out of about 20 were in working order. Sites are large and most are pull through, but there is very little landscaping. Wi-Fi is very slow. We camped at Spirit Mountain RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo

This park belongs to the Fort Mohave Indian Tribe and is associated with the Spirit Mountain Casino on the same site. RV sites are large and easy to get into. There is no clubhouse or other amenities but there is lots to do in the area and it is reasonably close to Lauglin NV.,Bullhead City, Oatman, Kingman and Lake Havasu City.

More Ubisoft Franchises to Get the Assassin's Creed Treatment
"We are applying the very [same] product template to our other strong franchises."
Assassin's Creed is Ubisoft's biggest franchise, so it should come as no surprise that it would like to replicate that success with its other properties. It'll attempt to do so by mirroring that same "product template" with its "other strong franchises," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed today.
Speaking during an investors conference call, as reported by GiantBomb, Guillemot said, "What is impressive with the release year after year of Assassin's Creed is our ability to deliver every time with a high level of innovation and creativity in a large and very diverse open world. There is no other open world console game that is coming on a yearly basis. This is achieved through great execution by providing more resources and by putting in place a very compelling network of leads and associate studios."
Since the original Assassin's Creed proved to be a success, Ubisoft hasn't let up with releasing new games in the series. Since 2008, there have been six distinct AC games released for a combination of consoles, handhelds, and Facebook, and that doesn't count the original game or its 2008 Director's Cut. This year's console/PC title, Revelations, was just recently announced and will be coming later this year. Ubisoft also has a 3DS title, Lost Legacy, in development, which had been planned for release alongside the 3DS itself.
Without naming any names, the annual release cycle that AC has seen will be replicated in other Ubisoft franchises. "We are applying the very [same] product template to our other strong franchises to bring them back to Assassin's Creed blockbuster profitable status," said Guillemot.
Some of the company's other big franchises include Prince of Persia, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Driver, Call of Juarez, and Just Dance. Many of those series have new games in the works, but Rainbow Six, for instance, hasn't been heard from since Vegas 2 came out in 2008.
In a press release issued today, Guillemot also said that Revelations "further demonstrates the strength of our cross-studio collaboration model put in place for the franchise -- a model that offers both creativity for gamers and a steady flow of releases."
Activision is often criticized for its treatment of the Call of Duty franchise. In many ways, it sounds as if Ubisoft is looking to essentially do the same thing. There have been complaints in the past about the annual releases Assassin's Creed has seen (Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was also subjected to the same grievances). But given that the series has only existed since 2007, it may only be a matter of time before gamers begin to complain more about AC. Then again, those complaints haven't stopped Call of Duty from reaching unparalleled levels of success, and if Ubisoft has the opportunity to replicate that to some degree, I doubt it will mind the objections.

I don't like the hyper-iteration of series like CoD and such... Makes sense for sports games (although I don't really like it there either), but I think real game series deserve more than one year to percolate in between releases. That said, I wants a new Prince of Persia... preferably a sequel to "Prince of Persia," rather than another Sands of Time-related thing.
Gonna have to sayPosted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by octoberfleshed
I think this is kinda lame; I like enjoying great franchises but why wouldn't ubisoft want more new IPs? Innovation drives the product, would you want to play a new Mario game every year? Would you like to play a new Halo every year, can we have some more variety please?
I know that sounds whiny and I don't have to buy the products, but lets say every company goes by this model, then how would you feel?
Yes But...Posted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by destaron
Ubisoft make great Innovative games(most of the time)
Far Cry 2 was amazing And would be an easy game for them to continue considering people like shooting stuff and honsetly I love AC and yearly Releases leave very little waiting time Which is good for a game series although I tihnk people are worried about them not improving enough But I think Ubisoft can handle it.
Whether its assassins creed Or a new one of their few year old titles I know the will be fun and ejoyable or darn frustrating like far cry 2(Still love the game), I can only say keep up the good work and rake in the money :)
Sigh...Posted: May 12, 2011 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac
That's disappointing. Ubisoft is one of my favorite publishers; they're not great, but they put out awesome games, such as Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil, Outland, etc. Plus, their bread-and-butter actually lies outside the FPS genre; even though they do have some franchises, it's not as important to them as it is to Activision or EA. So it's disappointing to see them following the same path as those two, with annual releases. I'm not an Assassin's Creed fan, but I am kind of shocked at how many games they're putting out, even if you just focus on the HD console releases. I hope their franchises don't suffer from that rigorous a release schedule.

make a good FPS , stop it with the assassin creed already. and the countless other garbage games .
Reality of this gamePosted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by Kiyyto
the first assassins creed was cool because it was new IP, and the holes in the story (and huge holes in the games content) were filled in nicely with a dues ex machina (namely, the machine which traveresed memories and that the protagonist didn't actually live in the world where you thought he did).
Now, I've played Assassins creed 2 and the ONLY thing that was fun about it was jumping off buildings. It was priced at under $20.00 online within months of its release. So, you know it wasn't selling like hotcakes before that huge price cut.
I have 0.00% interest in Ubisoft after seeing Splinter Cell: Conviction and AC2. They can keep their annual crap fest.
The only game companies I even think about buying from are Id, Valve, and Bethesda (and Bethesda is walking a fine line). BioWare used to be on the list.
By the way, I hate all of you who buy crap like assassins creed 2. You make easy money for the industry and no one works hard when they've got easy money. AC2 could have been an incredible game, but if it was then it'd be releasing right about now.
Screw gaming anyway. The only thing I can tell the gaming industry is that I won't be buying NOR letting my kids play buy your banality. And, I guess I should thank the industry for producing such as it makes me read more. I'm finding books less boring than 90% of video games this generation.

come on nowPosted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by MattyD629
i think u are cryinga bit to much. i dont agree with the whole annual release of a franchise either, but to say splinter cell conviction and ac2 were crap is just dumb. ac2 improved on the original, and scc took the series in an interesting and more action paced direction. some may have liked it or hated it, but it was a good game none the less. wipe your tears.
the games suckedPosted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by Kiyyto
point blank.
Splinter cell used to have a nice element of strategy and an excellent (and completely underused) multiplayer game (Pandora Tomorrow).
The latest splinter cell was a lot like the latest AC2 - dumb, watered down.
By the way, take your ad hominem attacks and shove them up your arse.

I am thinking of exploring nitrogen dispensing for stouts or experimentation with other ales. I have the idea that I should robably blend co2 and nitro, but i'm not really sure how to do this. If you have experience in using notorgen, can you share your techniques and let me know what additional equipment may be necessary?
Find someone that sells "beer gas". It will already be blended together.
You'll need a faucet on your tap that is made for this as well. A standard faucet won't give you the creamy head that you're looking for.
"Science + beer = good!"
-Adam Savage
The blended gas must be what the nitrogen regulators are for - different attachment? So it pretty much gets treated like a seperate system, instead of integrating it into an existing co2 system...then switch out the tap. Simple as that?
There is no integration. A nitro draught system is completely separate from a CO2 system. The gas is different, the regulator is different, and the faucet is different.
You can use pure N2 to serve if you first carbonate the beer to the desired level with CO2, then switch the gas.
a-ha. That makes it pretty simple.
Thanks for clearing this up for me.
i've used pure nitro for dispensing with a picnic tap and it still gave the nice creamy head. it was wonderful.
I have been wondering about this beer gas. If it is a mix of carbon doxide and notrogen, wouldn't the gasses seprate and exit the tank one after another? In other words, how do you know that you are injecting both gasses into the beer instead of just one? Are the gasses just that similar in weight?
i realize our environment is full of mixed gasses, but the phenomenon of co2 settling to the bottom of a brew vessel may also exist within the confines of a pressurized tank of gas. I think intuition could lead you to both conclusions.
Maybe the rdwhahb should be the reset button here - if it works, it works.

President Obama says he is for an "all of the above" energy policy, and likes to take credit for domestic production being up. But, as Steve Forbes says, the Obama Administration has "the most anti-oil and gas record in U.S. history." Whatever production increases there are have happened in spite of Obama's policies, not because of them. And, it sure isn't coming from federal lands or offshore reserves.
Gas prices are soaring - up for the 21st consecutive day in a row - and we are still more than two months away from the start of the peak driving season. If by chance your weren't already fired up enough, the next time you stop to fill-'er-up and you stare in disbelief as the meter spins wildly cha-ching - you might want to reflect on the following information courtesy of the fact-finders at the House Republican Study Committee.

America's Most Wanted
|From award-winning director Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral) comes the film inspired by one of the country's most captivating and infamous outlaws - John Dillinger.
Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise) stars as the charismatic and elusive bank robber marked by the FBI as America's first "Public Enemy Number One." Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) plays Billie Frechette, the only woman capable of capturing his heart. Hunted relentlessly by top FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale, The Dark Knight), Dillinger engages in an escalating game of outrunning and outgunning the FBI, culminating in an explosive, legendary showdown.
"A grave and beautiful work of art. Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"This is the purest of American narratives, and this, indeed, is one of our finest storytellers. Matthew Sorrento, FilmThreat.com
Editor's NoteJohnny Depp and Christian Bale emerge from two of the biggest blockbuster series of all time (Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman, respectively) to star in this crime drama from HEAT director Michael Mann. Depp stars as charismatic 1930s gangster John Dillinger, whose notorious bank robberies have turned him into a celebrity during the Depression era. The rise in crime has J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) desperate to have his newly created FBI take down gangsters such as Dillinger, "Pretty Boy" Floyd (Channing Tatum), and "Baby Face" Nelson (Stephen Graham). Enter Agent Melvin Purvis (Bale), an ambitious crimefighter sent to Chicago to capture Dillinger and his gang. The criminal has evaded the law before, but he is drawn to the Second City by the beautiful Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard). Though PUBLIC ENEMIES boasts big names, it feels more like an arthouse offering than a typical gangster picture. With its intimately shot violence and 1930s setting, the film is more BONNIE AND CLYDE than GOODFELLAS. Mann and director of photography Dante Spinotti alternate between hand-held, high-quality digital cameras and more traditional film stock, giving this crime drama a carefully composed, thoroughly modern look. But the casting of the leads is vintage Hollywood: Depp could be the modern incarnation of silent star Rudolph Valentino, and Cotillard?s wide-eyed beauty--and talent--would fit right in with the starlets of the golden age. Everyone else, including Bale, fades into the background, but it?s hard to complain when Depp and Cotillard give such magnetic performances.

Home. What a Fabulous Five Weeks!!
Flight 15 - Sydney to Melbourne - one hour
Back in Melbourne at 9.25pm. We were picked up by our two lovely kids and driven home.
It it is good to be home. There is so much to digest and think about. It was quite a holiday!!
Tennis, tennis and yet more tennis!
... deco building, and we're about 20 minutes walk from the courts of Melbourne Park! Can't get better than that!
As soon as we arrived we had to do a food shop - thinking of our bellies as usual, just like any good Womble - and we were already late to drop off the car, so it was supermarket sweep as we raced around Woolies to fill the trolley with as much food as possible. Luckily driving into the city wasn't too bad and we were only an hour late ...
City life
... bar which was cold before heading to Chinatown for the evening a great night out and got home silly hours of the morning again but a lovely day . I was checking out today unfortunately of this hotel , I managed to get the concierge to look after my bags so had another day of sightseeing , I left my hotel at around 11 , went so the cathedral on flinders street which was lovely to see some school boys singing and some service going on which ...
The new accomodation
... it up front and then I could claim it back once I had my Medicare card through. I have never in my life been able to get a doctors appointment on the same day I've asked for one, let alone within 15 minutes of turning up. My medical check was fine and I was completely amazed that the doctor had heard of my blood clotting condition. I have not been to a single doctor in the UK who has known about the condition, most doctors have googled it whilst I have been sat there ...
Made it home! Loved our 16 week journey together.
... passed through had wonderful old buildings and had clearly been affluent in their time. Lunched in Charlton on the Avoca river, which was no exception. Its' main recent claim to fame was the devastating floods of 2010 followed very quickly by 2011 floods. Uneventful drive around Bendigo and on to Melbourne.
We'd done it. Mixed feelings of happiness to be home, out of the tent and in my own bed, and sad to reach the end ...

Download Now: iLounge's New iPad Buyers' Guide
Since 2004, iLounge's famous Buyers' Guides have provided readers with a unique treat—a comprehensive look at the worlds of iPod, iPhone, and iPad products, twice per year. We're proud to announce the release today of The New iPad Buyers' Guide, focused on the third-generation iPad and Apple TV.
Weighing in at 156 pages, The New iPad Buyers' Guide is iLounge's biggest and best iPad-focused publication yet. In addition to helping users though every step of purchasing one of the 24 different iPad models available today, the Guide includes a massive collection of top iPad accessories, a look at today's most essential 100 iPad apps, and a section on the just-released third-generation Apple TV.
We particularly want to direct your attention to this edition's iDesign interviews, which include especially insightful talks with leading Apple developers Soundfreaq, Bloomberg, Inkling, Mobile Roadie, and Geneva Lab. You'll also discover some brief looks at new iPhone, iPod, and Mac gear, and discussion of upcoming Apple products: the "iTV," next-generation iPhone, and the potential for a revolutionary new digital camera. Here are some of the sections you'll find inside:
- Introducing a "New iPad"
- iPad By The Numbers: An Unstoppable March
- The New iPad Buyers' Guide
- All Things Apple TV
- Our Favorite 100 iPad Apps
- iDesign 2012
- The iPad Accessory Buyers' Guide
- iPads Around the World Gallery
- New For iPhone + iPod
- New @ iLounge + Mac
- So Said The Haters
- What's The Deal With iTV?
- Making The Case For iSight
- Closing the Curtain: A New iPhone
Our New iPad Buyers' Guide is a completely free download. You have a choice between two versions: one is in book-style two-page spread format, which is best for screens 15" or larger on the diagonal. The other is a full-screen single-page format, available for viewing on screens that are smaller than 15" on the diagonal, as well as for pocket devices including the iPhone and iPod touch. iPad users: The two-page version is readable on the iPad; the one-page version increases the amount of page-turning but is even easier to read on the iPad. We love the two-page spread version, but the one-page version is easiest read on iOS devices. Please download only one version so that others can get their copies quickly. To view the Guide, PC users should have the latest version of Adobe Reader. Mac users should use Apple's Preview or the latest Adobe Reader. Due to the Guide's massive footprint, we strongly recommend that iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch users use Apple's iBooks or a third-party PDF reader rather than attempting to view the entire book in Safari.
Please tell a friend about the New iPad Buyers' Guide! We welcome you to share it on your file-sharing network of choice, with friends through e-mail, or though a mirror link (post in comments below). Enjoy!

Destiny trilogy - speculations
View Single Post
March 4 2008, 06:58 PM
Location: State of Maryland
Re: Destiny trilogy - pretty heavy spoilers
I don't trust a damn thing in that entire summary. In point of fact, I'm half-tempted to conclude that
in it is probably inaccurate, including the idea that the Borg are featured whatsoever.
Having said that, if the Borg
to be used in a dramatically competent way, it would make for fascinating reading. The Borg, as near as we can tell, post-VOY, are no longer unified into one Collective, correct? (I read
Before Dishonor
but not
.) So it seems to me that doing a story about what happens when the Borg finally cease to exist as a galactic power would make for a very interesting way to upset the balance of power throughout the Milky Way -- civilizations and factions at varying levels of technological power could conceivably acquire various forms of Borg technology, radically altering their capacity to project power, to communicate, and to travel across vast distances. Just imagine if the Federation got their hands on a Borg transwarp hub... or the Romulans.
Mind you, that's a fairly bare-bones plot premise, and a good writer would need to inject more thematic concerns than just "OMG the Tholians have a transwarp coil!!!!!," but it could work if done properly.
Democratic socialism is the hope of human freedom.

Bull Sperm
Definition: Bull Sperm
Believe it or not, bull sperm (yes, bull semen) is becoming a cult hair treatment at a swank UK salon. The solution combines Angus bull semen and a plant root called katera. Both ingredients are protein packed and help penetrate and condition the hair shaft. Supposedly it's deeply nourishing and revitalizing as it has earned a nickname "Viagra for the hair."
A treatment costs just over $100 and takes about 45 minutes. Hair is shampooed, the treatment is applied, and then you are put under a steamer. And from what I hear, the semen is kept in a refrigerator so it stays cold and fresh. There certainly are great measures people have taken for shiny, healthy hair, but bull semen is a little much for me. Would you try something like this if it makes its way across the pond?

Walking during the day to go have lunch with my sister I noticed a group of men following me yelling at me in another language. I understood and translated that they were harassing me. They followed me for a few blocks.
I started walking faster. I then found two older college aged girls sitting on the steps of a building just talking together. I approached them and said "hey girls so good to see you!" as if I knew these women as my own friends. I explained that I was being followed and they let me sit with them until the men passed me and walked around the corner. I am thankful that these women were protective and helpful.

I've been living in Glasgow for just under six months now, as a student. I'm living in a somewhat rough area and i'm well aware it's not safe to wander around at night on my own. However, this incident took place at about 5pm on a weekday night, in a park just down the road from my dorms. I was walking back from a lecture with two of my flatmates and we cut through a small park, as we normally do. A man emerged from the bushes, completely naked from the waist down and touching himself, and started following us up the path. We tried to ignore him and started to walk a bit quicker but as he got closer and closer to my flatmate, who was behind me, I reacted. I screamed and swore at him but he just seemed to enjoy this, and laughed in my face. He followed us through the park and disappeared when my flatmate got her phone out to call the police – who incidentally never caught him and whose only advice was to avoid that park in future.
So obviously, living in a foreign city after growing up in a small town i'm wary; this really shook my confidence. I experienced panic attacks and ended up missing some important deadlines as a result of this incident, as I felt unsafe leaving the flat. I'm glad I shouted at/reported him but I am frustrated that I can't feel at home in this area anymore.
I was walking down a street to my friend's house when I noticed a white car moving slowly behind me. A couple blocks later, the car pulled up next to me and a bunch of guys stuck they're heads out and yelled things like "Hey girly" and "Where you goin' baby", some of them whistled, so I yelled "I'm not your dog!" And they drove away quickly, one of them yelling "Fuckin bitch!" As they drove away.

I had gone to the store with my mom. As usual, I left her to get the things I needed when I realized this older man was always around me. I thought I was being paranoid about it since I get paranoid easily. However, as I was looking through the music section, he walks by really close and whispers "mm mm mmmm" to where I could hear.
I looked right at him and he looked me dead in the eyes and I ran away. I found some loose but sharp screws lying on a shelf so I put them between my knuckles in case he came near me again. He kept following me so I kept walking the other way. I'm not going back to that store for a long time.

Two men in their twenties followed me while I was walking to the store. They repeatedly made sexual comments about my body and followed me about two blocks to the store front before they left.

Last week I was coming from work at 8 pm and I walked trough the park in the center of my city. It's almost summer so it was full of people, yet this guy (I think he was my age) told me it was "dangerous for a beautiful girl like me to be alone." I just kept walking so he would leave me alone, but he followed me for five blocks asking me for my number, wanting to know if I was single, if the food I was carrying was enough for him too and offering himself to be my bodyguard.
I told him that I was not interested, yet he insisted and I told him to leave me alone, he said "don't be so rude, I just wanted to get to know you" Then I started crying until I finally got to a store that was open and he just went away.
So after this traumatic experience when all I could think while it was happening was "he's going to rape me or murder me", I went to Facebook the next day because I needed to talk about it and maybe get some support. I wrote "So yesterday this guy followed me for five blocks after work, why some people can't accept 'no' for an answer? I never had been so scared in my life" and I received answers (all from girls) like "I feel so lucky that I'm not attractive", "you're a heartbreaker" "you should have gave him a wrong number and problem solved" and when I responded and said I felt threathened, some "friend" told me I was exaggerating, it wasn't that big of a deal.
It was a big deal for me, even tho I (like pretty much every female) have been dealing with this since I was 11. I have social anxiety and this is the kind of thing that I just can't face and I would really like to end forever.

Walking back from the fast station, I refused to give six individuals a cigarette so the group decided to follow me all the way home, all the while being screamed at and threatened. It was horrifying.

Me and my friend were just getting out of a concert and started heading to this marketplace across the street. It was pretty empty by then and we just sat down, having some drinks, looking over our pictures from the concert when some guy started walking towards us. The way he looked at us made us really uncomfortable so we got up and started walking away. We took a turn thinking he would go about the rest of his night but he kept following us. We ended up speed walking until we found some security guards and stood by them. Then we turned around and the man was gone. We were so frightened and I honestly thought we wouldn't be able to outrun him.

I was driving to grab some lunch earlier today and I had just turned onto the main street from the little street my apartment is off of when a man in a big SUV slowed way down so he could do typical creep things like smile/wave/wink/etc at me while we drove side by side.
I eventually was able to get over and behind him, thinking this would be enough to make him continue with his day, but no. He got back over so that he could get behind my car. I was nearing my destination so I took a really sharp, signal-less right turn to go into the side driveway of the plaza, in the hopes that would lose him. It didn't. He had to slam on his brakes and do a hard right turn also to stay behind me. I did another immediate, signal-less right turn into the plaza and it all happened so fast that he didn't have time to turn in and follow me. I parked my car and sat there for a few seconds looking around to make sure he didn't come in a different way. I didn't see any sign of him so I got out of my car and started to quickly walk toward the restaurant.
Guess who I see over to the left driving up and down the aisles of parked cars?! Yep, him.(keep in mind this is a huge plaza, I could have gone anywhere and he found it worth it to try and find me) Guess who pulls up like he is about to leave the plaza but then spots me at the last second and sits there in his car staring and smiling and waving? YEP! Him! I walked quick with my head down across the street into the restaurant. I couldn't stop shaking and I could barely talk enough to order my food, I was so scared.
I got my food and I went to leave. I got my self defense cat and my phone ready, just in case, but there was no sign of him anywhere. I got to my car and jumped in and locked the doors. I checked all around my car to see if he was anywhere to be seen and he wasn't. I went home a different, longer way so I could see if he was following me again and he wasn't. I got home and I broke down crying to my husband on the phone. Fuck that guy. Fuck him for being able to ruin my whole day in the matter of minutes. Fuck him for thinking that was an ok thing to do.
