Video Game Previews
The Trials and Tribulations of Gears of War: Judgment
Co-developers Epic Games and People Can Fly put the finishing touches on their cooperative juggernaut.
By Jose Otero, 03/05/2013 at 10:43
As the next generation of home
consoles slowly emerge into the
limelight and enter the minds of the mass consumer, it's
great to see some current gen games continue to show their potential.
Take Gears
of War, a series that
practically signaled the start of this current gen back in late 2006.
At the time, developer Epic Games delivered a memorable and new
third-person shooter IP that certainly looked impressive, but also
ushered in fun gameplay mechanics through an impromptu cover-based
system -- one that urged players to use cover as respite from the hail
of enemy bullets. But who knew the idea of campaign coop over the
Internet could possibly impact the experience the way it did? And post
GoW, the entire shooter genre followed suit.
In hindsight, those three
pillars of visual bombast, fun combat loops, and cooperative play over
the net defined lots of shooters during this console cycle, but after a
trilogy of GoW games -- delivered relatively closely over a five-year
span -- how can the series possibly stay fresh and fun? Surprisingly
the latest game, Gears
of War: Judgment, makes a strong
argument that the series isn't only surprisingly relevant, but that the
developers also figured out some neat tricks other video game makers
should crib.
The Waking Dream of Proteus
Is Proteus a game? Honestly, I don't give a damn.
By Marty Sliva, 02/19/2013 at 15:27
You wake up at sea. The quiet
water around you melds into the peaceful
tones of a horn-based melody. You spot an island in the distance, and
decide to swim towards it. Once you step foot on the warm sands of the
beach, the music changes into something less ephemeral and more
tangible. You spot a group of crabs just down the way, and when you
approach them, the sound of bongo drums enters your ears. As they
scurry away, so does the percussion. You distance yourself from the
water and head towards a grove of cherry blossoms in the midst of a
snowfall of petals. Immersing yourself in the floating colors brings
entirely new instruments into the mix of sounds. This is Proteus.
Over the past few weeks,
there have been many debates over whether Proteus is a game or
not. Our buddy Dan Stapleton over at GameSpy
argues that the PC
title's inherent lack of any a defined objective stops it
from being a game. Others have stated that the lack of interaction that
the player has with the world is what causes Proteus to lose its
What is Destiny? Even Bungie Doesn't Seem Too Sure
Bungie's ambitious new shooter defies description. But is that a good or bad thing?
By Kat Bailey, 02/17/2013 at 10:00
Earlier this week, Bungie invited the press corps up to their new studio in Bellevue with the intention of taking the wraps off Destiny, their long-rumored follow-up to Halo. As everyone sat down, the anticipation over what Bungie had to show was palpable. Several hours later, the excitement was still there, but there were plenty of questions as well.
Routine Delves into the Horrifying Nature of Space
An upcoming take on sci-fi horror inspired by all of my favorite things.
By Marty Sliva, 02/15/2013 at 05:31
favorite works of horror are all built upon the foundation of three
solid principles: a strong sense of place, clearly defined
consequences, and an ability to create expectations while
simultaneously defying them. It doesn't matter if it's Halloween,
Colour Out of Space, or
Hill -- the medium makes no
difference. These three elements are
at the core of every work I consider to be truly horrifying, so it's
with that in mind that the upcoming PC title Routine
has piqued my
Unveiled at last year's
Gamescom, Routine is the first work from the UK-based Lunar Software.
It's a survival horror game set in an abandoned lunar base. Yep, that's
a pretty strong sense of place. And there are no extra lives in the
game -- permadeath means that one wrong move, and you're starting over.
Well, those are some clearly defined consequences. And just take one
look at the trailer, and you'll see that Routine is filled with the
unexpected. It's this last element that left me searching for answers,
and who better to turn to than Lead Artist and Designer Aaron Foster.
Remember Me Implants Itself With the Substance of Style
When is a Capcom game not a Capcom game? Remember Me is set on giving you a hint.
By Ray Barnholt, 02/14/2013 at 12:23
In terms of creativity, particularly world-building, I find that the game developers that nail those the best are the Japanese and the French. So it comes as little surprise to see big Japanese publisher Capcom sign small French developer Dontnod and their debut action-adventure game, Remember Me. What is surprising is how instantly risky the game looks, though not necessarily because of creative ambition. Rather, does Remember Me even fit the label of "Capcom game?"
Resident Evil Revelations Returns in HD, and the Devil's in the Details
Most people wanted Revelations on a console to begin with, and Capcom's ready to deliver with a pretty faithful port.
By Ray Barnholt, 02/14/2013 at 07:46
The nature of the "exclusive"
has been an increasingly hot topic among game fans since at least the
2000s. One game can be seen as the savior of the platform; the one that
will boost it to new heights, because watching big companies make money
is fun, right? But in this generation, more and more exclusive games
end up becoming multiplatform titles available to anyone, where it
doesn't matter which system you bought. Eventually, the scorned fanboys
move on to their next point of contention, and everybody expects it to
happen to big-budget third-party console games. But what happens when
an exclusive handheld game goes straight to consoles in just over a
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: The Ultimate Test of Relevance
Monster Hunter hits America again in the best way possible (so far), but will it -- can it -- stick?
By Ray Barnholt, 02/14/2013 at 00:49
Capcom made waves when they first announced that the canonical third Monster Hunter game was coming to the Wii, and got even more excitement when they localized it for America and Europe. Though as big a franchise as it is in its homeland of Japan, Monster Hunter Tri didn't quite blow up in the West the way it could have (or should have, depending on your thoughts). The good news is that it effectively has another chance. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the most content-rich Monster Hunter game, with more new monsters to go and (try to) kill, more equipment to craft and amass, and a pile of other checks and balances to further hone the game. Even so, there's several previous Monster Hunter games that suggest if you build it, they might not come.
Which is too bad, because Monster Hunter is good fun with the right level of dedication, and it's multiplayer-driven, which is not hard for Western gamers to get behind. Sure, one player can accomplish a lot by themselves, but to beat monsters the best and fastest ways, teamwork is a necessity. Like the PSP Monster Hunter games, the 3DS version allows four-player local multiplayer, yet won't be able to go online (an unfortunate carryover from the Japanese version, but ad-hoc Monster Hunter rules the country anyway). However, the Wii U version is fully set up for playing online, and will work similarly to the original Wii version. As a consolation of sorts, due to the boon of having Ultimate on two systems, that means if a friend or three come over with their 3DS versions, they can use that to play in a local, Wii U-hosted multiplayer excursion as well. I tried it out myself, and it works as advertised.
A Promising First Look at the Wasteland Sequel 25 Years in the Making
The crowdfunded RPG shows off its gameplay for the first time.
By Chris Pereira, 02/11/2013 at 18:40
As one of the most highly funded videogame projects on Kickstarter -- only Obsidian's Project Eternity and Double Fine Adventure have collected more through Kickstarter alone -- a lot of eyeballs are going to be on Wasteland 2 as it approaches its release. That's even truer because this is a game that aspires to be a worthy follow-up to a classic game that led to the creation of the original Fallout. Now that we've finally gotten a real look at it, so far, so good, it would seem.
Over the weekend, developer inXile released the first gameplay footage of Wasteland 2. While it was sure to attract complaints from those who didn't get precisely what they wanted (like having it mirror everything the original game did), it does look promising. And that's reassuring news -- inXile's track record has been inconsistent, with past projects including The Bard's Tale (a solid game) and Hunted: The Demon's Forge (not so much). No definitive conclusions can or should be drawn from a single 15-minute video demonstration, particularly when the game in question is far from complete, but we can better glean what the game is shooting for.
Dragon Quest VII Dazzles as It Disappoints (Slightly) on 3DS
The RPG classic could win a new audience, but what does it leave behind?
By Jeremy Parish, 02/11/2013 at 16:08
I love the Dragon Quest series, but I confess it's a taste I've only acquired in recent years. After playing the original Dragon Warrior on NES, I didn't touch the series again until Dragon Warrior VII arrived on PlayStation a decade later. And, in all honesty, I kind of hated what I played of DQVII. It felt slow, tedious, ugly, and incredibly backward. The gorgeous Final Fantasy X was slated to hit the U.S. a few weeks later, so DQVII seemed like some sort of weird relic of a bygone age. I played a couple of hours, got bored, and wandered off.
Since then, I've come to realize my mistake in writing off the game so hastily. My tastes have changed since then, and so has my appreciation for the good, old-fashioned game design ethos Dragon Quest represents. Needless to say, I've been looking forward to the new 3DS remake of DQVII with great anticipation; it's not so much an occasion to give the game a second chance and see if I'll like it -- I'm sure I will -- as it is a chance to finally play the thing, period. As my tastes have changed, so has my freedom to enjoy a 100-hour RPG experience, and the prospect of having such a slow burn of an adventure on a portable system makes me a lot more likely to play all the way through it than I would in its original console form. (Thank you, San Francisco Municipal Transportation System, for my 90 minutes of quality gaming time each weekday... or 150 minutes if you're having one of your all-too-frequent system meltdowns.)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Screens Give a Glimpse into Gaming's Future
CD Projekt provides one of our first glances at a next generation game.
By Marty Sliva, 02/11/2013 at 12:25
know that the future is nigh. We already shared all of our insight
into what Sony
has planned for February 20, and
it's all-but assured that Microsoft will be holding
some form of equally-profound event at some point in the near future.
But while you dream about the number of strange technical numbers
associated with your console du jour, Game
Informer has given us a tangible
glimpse at what those the next-gen hardware is capable of via their
most recent cover story centered around The
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
We know that CD Projekt is
working on it, and that the game will wrap up Geralt's trilogy. We also
know that it's supposed to be big (at least one million Skyrims).
But the real information can be gleaned from the handful of screenshots
that GI gathered. Take a look.
The Mixed Messages of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate
Can the holy trinity of vampire hunters and a handful of classic elements restore the series to its former self?
By Jose Otero, 02/08/2013 at 15:15
I hate to examine games from a fan's perspective, but sometimes I can't quite separate myself from a series no matter how hard I try. Last week, I saw Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate, a Nintendo 3DS entry in Konami's resurrected vampire-hunting action series. But for the first time in a while, I left a demo ambivalent and unsure of a final assessment.
Quadrilateral Cowboy Brings the Hacking, Forgoes the Slashing
The follow-up to Thirty Flights of Loving looks equally intriguing.
By Marty Sliva, 02/07/2013 at 12:31
believe in Brendon Chung. The
designer of Thirty
Flights of Loving, one of my
favorite games of 2012,
views our medium in a way that few do. He eschews the norm, tells
stories in intriguing ways, and has no problem making short form games.
Your first trip through Thirty Flights of Loving is likely to take you
less than 15 minutes to complete, but damn if it isn't worth it.
So it's with great pleasure
that I present you with the first trailer for Quadrilateral
Chung's newest effort that's set to release sometime later on in the
year. QC continues the story of Citizen Abel, the La Nouvelle
Vague-inspired hero of Gravity Bone
and Thirty Flights of Loving.
Despite the fact that he may or may not die at the end of each prior
installment, he certainly looks alive and kicking in this brief
montage. The game is centered around the concept of hacking, going as
far as to including mechanics that force the player to use programming
languages in order to press on. Chung has also noted that QC has an
open, sandbox design, which is a departure from the much narrower
experiences of his previous games.
In a Sea of Bloodshed, Tearaway Made Me Smile
Media Molecule seems determined to kill us with kindness.
By Marty Sliva, 02/06/2013 at 10:43
Last week, Sony invited a group
of us media folk down to Los Angeles to
get our hands on some of their biggest games for 2013. You may have
already read my thoughts on Killzone:
Mercenary, God
of War: Ascension, and The
Last of Us. Though my opinion of
the three of them varied quite dramatically, the one thing they all
shared was a common bloodlust. During my time with the three games, I
probably killed roughly one thousand people, creatures, and gods. I
performed headshots, tore bodies in half, and smashed faces in using a
brick. By the time I was done, I wanted to drop my controller, lay down
on a bowling alley lane and resign with the words "I'm finished," like
Daniel Day Lewis at the end of There Will Be Blood.
But I'm glad I didn't because Sony showcased a fourth game that washed
the slate clean and made me feel like I did back when I was a child;
that time when we all fell in love with this medium in the first place.
Tearaway is Media Molecule's
upcoming Vita adventure singularly built around the concept of paper.
While that may sound strange at first, I honestly can't remember the
last time I played a game that so faithfully stuck to a central theme
across every facet of the experience. Your hero is on a mission to
deliver an unknown message that's contained within an envelope -- the
very same envelope that acts as his or her head. The entire world is
composed of paper -- flower petals curl like ribbons, paper towel tubes
act as hallways, and a bit of glue allows you to walk on walls. It's
like an elementary school art class became sentient overnight and
decided to see what it could make of itself. The mere act of traversing
the world brought back wildly fond memories of wandering the front yard
of Princess Peach's castle in Super
Mario 64 -- it's a type of
genuine, uncynical exploration that you don't see very often in 2013.
Haute Tension: The Last of Us Showcases Its Sound and Fury
Going hands-on with Naughty Dog's latest proves to be a tense, atmospheric event.
By Marty Sliva, 02/04/2013 at 00:07
can't remember the last time was genuinely terrified while
playing a video game. Slender?
Hill 2? Don't
get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of any work of art that can
elicit true fear inside of me, be it a film, story, or video game. But
most games that bill themselves
as "horror" are
more concerned with cheap scares and crutching on gore than with building a
mood which toys with our deepest fears. So it was to my complete surprise that
Naughty Dog seems to understand this definition perfectly, as The
of Us could very well be one of
this generation's truly
horrifying experiences.
So many elements of the game
seem to coexist for the common goal of creating and maintaining an
extraordinary level of tension. E3 showed us what Joel and Ellie would
have to deal with in terms of human marauders who've been
pushed to the fringes of humanity, but this preview event focused
squarely on the fungal infection that caused the world to go to hell in
the first place. It's here that The Last of Us almost feels
like it's picking up the survival horror baton that so many
once-terrifying series have dropped in recent installments. The world
it builds, the aesthetics it fronts, and the moods it exudes are
singularly terrifying and completely fantastic, and it all starts with
the impeccable sound design.
The Battle Fatigue of God of War: Ascension
Impeccable presentation can't shake the overwhelming feeling of familiarity.
By Marty Sliva, 02/02/2013 at 10:32
is angry. For some unknown
reason, his body is chained to a pair of massive pillars; his limbs
stretched far apart as if to embrace whatever crime it was that he
committed. He's mocked by one of the three Furies, ancient
beings who, for some reason, have taken offense against the warrior.
But he is no God, not yet. As a prequel to the prior installments in
the series, Kratos (Man of War?) begins the game in this strange
predicament. And yet once he frees himself from these shackles and the
player is allowed to take control, one fact becomes immediately clear
-- we've done this before.
Every action I took throughout
the opening 30 minutes of God
of War: Ascension resonated with
I've been doing over the course of the past 8 years. It was
more than just muscle memory; it's as if the series is a
vinyl album stuck in an infinite loop as it futilely attempts to find
the next groove, doomed to repeat the same crumbs of a song. I defeated
the hordes of minor enemies by smashing the square and triangle
buttons, just as I had in the original God of
War. I opened glowing red
chests and used their contents to upgrade by blades, just as I had in
God of
War II. I engaged in a variety
of simple but cinematic QTEs,
just as I had in God of
War III. And once I came to the
lengthy battle
with the gargantuan Hecatonchires, whose imprisoned body was the entire
level, I couldn't help but feel like I'd done this
before. This was how I slayed the Hydra in 2005. This was how I brought
down the Colossus of Rhodes in 2007. This was how I scaled Mt. Olympus
and dethroned Poseidon in 2010.

Mayors push drug data access, moreToby Talbot / AP Photo
Vermont mayors lay out their legislative agenda at a news conference Tuesday in Montpelier. From left, Thomas Lauzon of Barre, Liz Gamache of St. Albans, Mike OBrien of Winooski, Miro Weinberger of Burlington and John Hollar of Montpelier.MONTPELIER Vermonts mayors laid out their legislative agenda Tuesday, saying they want a state law that matches federal rules barring convicted felons from getting firearms and changes to a program that allows cities to fund redevelopment projects by setting up special tax districts.
The mayors of all eight of Vermonts cities signed the statement of legislative priorities, making it the first time the municipal executives have gathered to outline a joint Statehouse agenda.
Public safety, tax increment financing districts and housing were at the center of their agenda, the mayors said.
Faced with so many of the same opportunities and challenges in our respective communities, it makes good sense for Vermonts mayors to collaborate, said St. Albans Mayor Liz Gamache.
On public safety, the mayors said they have three priorities:
A bill that would give police easier access to the state Health Departments database of prescriptions written by doctors, to guard against doctor-shopping by drug addicts. Civil libertarians have opposed the change.
Better information from the state criminal justice system about offenders released into their communities and about people who are released while awaiting trial.
A parallel statute to one that already exists at the federal level, barring convicted felons from possessing firearms.
The firearms statute is necessary because federal authorities sometimes do not have the resources to charge or prosecute all such cases, the mayors statement said.
On housing, the mayors said they want to retool the Vermont Neighborhoods program, which has never achieved its goal to stimulate new housing.
The mayors said they also want the state law for special tax districts to be clarified to guard against future disputes. Last year, a state auditors office review found Burlington had kept $1 million that should have been handed over to the state education fund.
Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger said the mayors agree with the auditors report that the current TIF legislation is easily misunderstood and creates opportunities for dispute between the state and municipalities.
Aside from Gamache and Weinberger, the mayors attending Tuesdays event included Mike Daniels of Vergennes, John Hollar of Montpelier, Thomas Lauzon of Barre, Chris Louras of Rutland and Mike OBrien of Winooski. Mayor Paul Monette of Newport had a scheduling conflict.MORE IN Vermont NewsThree professors in the University of Vermont Extension program are losing their positions next...

Families that are a little more ambitious might even put on a little skit in appreciation for all mom does for them. However, at Garnette Gardens assisted living home in Redwood Falls, a new tradition has started: the Nut Goodie Band performs for the kids. On Saturday, May 5, 16 residents, aided by several musical volunteers, put on a sing-along concert for their families in the lobby of Garnette Gardens. The Nut Goodie Band formed two years ago, and has since performed at area nursing homes and holidays. Although it was several weeks early, the Mother's Day concert was made of old-time favorites, with volunteers on keyboards and guitar providing most of the music, and the residents providing the percussion and accompaniment. The concert included audience sing alongs, and participation such as blowing soap bubbles during "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles." When it was over, the audience got a special mother's day gift — memories created by mom herself.

Gallery: Silo 468 is a Wind-Controlled LED Light Installation in an Aba...
LDC's design draws upon the city's industrial heritage while looking to the area's future as a residential district.
Silo 468 was originally built in the 1960s and it used to store 16,000 m3 of oil – but it has now been transformed into a wind-controlled lighting installation. Located on the water in the Kruunuvuorenranta District, the silo is visible to central Helsinki, Suomenlinna Fortress and the sea. Commissioned by the city of Helsinki through Lighting Design Collective, the silo is a permanent art installation and public space that visitors can walk around and enter. LDC's design draws upon the city's industrial heritage while looking to the area's future as a residential district.
To create the light installation, LDC punctured a series of holes into the silo inspired by the existing rust patterns. During the day, light seeps in through the 2012 holes and casts a moving light shadow as the sun crosses the sky. At night 1280 LED lights on the exterior flicker on and off based on a bespoke software program that mimics swarms of birds in flight. The bird swarms are a reference to the site's seaside location and the prevailing winds are used to trigger the unique patterns. Silo 468 is open to the public right before sunset and for a short period afterwards. The lights remain on until 2:05 in the morning.

Skaggs hopes to extend Halos' home streak
Blue Jays look to get untracked behind Dickey at Angel Stadium
The Angels have been putting together some serious Southern California home cooking lately. On Tuesday, they'll be looking for their 12th straight home win, and sixth overall. The former is their longest since 1967.
Toronto, meanwhile, has seen its American League East lead disappear over the past four days, as their five-game losing skid has coincided with Baltimore's three-game winning streak.
They'll be counting on R.A. Dickey to halt their slide -- though he's lost his last four decisions, never allowing fewer than three runs during that span.
"Everybody's doing their best," Dickey said. "We're in a situation where we're nursing some injuries in some places and guys are called upon to do above and beyond what they normally do. They're doing the best that they can, and that's just part of being on a team and trying to pick each other up."
The Angels have won four games in a row, but so have the A's, who have maintained a 3 1/2 game-lead in the AL West.
Opposing Dickey, Tyler Skaggs will be making his second start since coming off the disabled list (right hamstring strain).
His return was about as successful as Los Angeles could have asked for -- he allowed just two runs on five hits and one walk in 7 2/3 innings with six strikeouts.
"It's just rhythm and tempo," Skaggs said. "You can have the worst mechanics in the world, but if you know in your head that you're going to throw strikes and you go out there with confidence and you exude it, you go out there and you throw strikes."
Blue Jays: Reimold joins the fold
As expected, outfielder Nolan Reimold officially joined the Blue Jays for the start of their three-game series vs. the Angels, going 0-for-3 in his debut, a 5-2 loss.
Reimold was claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Sunday morning. A spot was created on the 25-man roster when Edwin Encarnacion hit the 15-day disabled list with a strained right quadriceps muscle.
Prior to joining Toronto, Reimold had yet to play in a Major League game this season as he recovered from a serious neck injury. Reimold now becomes the Blue Jays' starter in right field until Jose Bautista is fully recovered from a strained left hamstring.
"I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity and a better team to pick me up," Reimold said. "They're doing well, up there in the division, and I was told I'd get an opportunity to play. I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm just very appreciative for this opportunity. I'm going to go out there and prove them correct for giving me a shot."
Angels: Calhoun to see plenty Jays
Kole Calhoun was in the lineup against a left-handed starting pitcher on Monday for the first time since May 31 against Oakland's Tommy Milone. He went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored.
For most of the season, the left-handed-hitting Calhoun has been platooning in right field with right-hander Collin Cowgill, but his recent hot streak pushed him into the starting lineup.
Over his last eight games, Calhoun has produced a .481/.548/.889 slash line. He has reached to lead off the game in each of his last seven starts.
"I don't know if there's a player hotter in our league than Kole Calhoun right now," manager Mike Scioscia said.
Calhoun should also start the final two games against Toronto, who will send two right-handers to the mound to finish the three-game set.
Worth noting
• The Angels have not lost a season series against Toronto since 2007.
• Toronto lost outfielder Kenny Wilson on a waiver claim to Oakland on Monday.

This bubble blower was used by Utakata to perform his Soap Bubble Ninjutsu. It was golden in colour and bent in the middle. It also has a tassel attached to it. It can create bubbles for many different purposes and could also be used as a melee weapon as it is very sturdy, as it was able to block a kunai without any apparent damage to it.
- Utakata's sensei, Harusame, was also seen with a similar bubble blower.

Monarchs, B's have home-and-home series this weekend
The teams meet in Providence tonight at 7 p.m. and then Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
"It creates a little bit of a rivalry, which creates more of a playoff atmosphere," said forward Brandon Kozun. "It's a good team. We know they have a lot of firepower and we have to make sure we're ready."
The teams have already played two games that went to a shootout, with the Monarchs winning both.
One Bruins prospect off to a rough start is goalie Malcolm Subban. The 19-year-old first round pick has played in just two games, giving up four goals each time and struggling with a save percentage of .879.
After this weekend, the Monarchs will be off until a road trip to St. John's for a pair of games next weekend.

Top Definition
A rarely used sexual maneuver employing the acts of fellatio, masturbation, and wound-fucking all in one. The squeeky cheek is performed by gently stabbing a hole into the facial cheek of a willing participant, forcibly shoving the thumb and index-finger portion of the 'OK' symbol into the oral opening, then proceeding to make sweet love to the cheek wound. Doing so, one will, by default, receive a blowjob, while also technically masturbating through the thumb-index finger ring inside the receiving party's mouth.
She was once a beautiful woman, before I gave her the Squeeky Cheek. Now she's just downright sexy!

Latest News
Filed under:1673
Its almost impossible to choose. He has so many great songs from both his mixed tapes and also his three albums. I have had so many favorites but i guess my favorite at the moment is SPRAY PAINT AND INK PENS. although it is only featuring Lupe his verse is amazing. He has a mean flow and It makes me smile every time I hear it because his lyrics are so insanley creative. Thanks Lupe keep it up. Your the man
daydreamin. first time i heard this track live it made me a SUPER fan. lupe always comes w/ the energy on this track live and it made me appreciate the track. every time i hear it i always get brought back to the first time i saw him live and heard this track come on. gets me hyped just thinking about it and has been my favorite lupe track since that day.
The Instrumental
The box is the media. Both guys are controlled by the media to a point where theyve lost their own identities. The first person knows hes brainwashed, or he knows somethings wrong at least, but he cant figure out whats wrong or how to fix it. The second person is more ignorant and doesnt even realize that hes lost his real self to the mainstream media thats hypnotized the world. Like the song says, the first guy hates the box, but he cant remember how to stop it. So he sits and he watches, hopin it will give him something he can box with Or fight with. He knows that the media has control over him, but the problem is he looks to the media for answers and to find out how to fix it. Hes scared to look away, cause at that moment, it might just show him what to take off the locks with. So he keeps watching TV and wondering whats wrong in the world when the problem is the media-brainwashing itself. He chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it. Swallowed the combination and forgot it. So he committed himself to living a dream a long time ago, and until he looks away hell be chained to it and wondering whats wrong with his world.
The second guy is more like most people. He thinks everythings normal and he loves the box. The only reason hes scared to look away is because hes afraid it might get stolen or quit telling him what to do. Hes brainwashed too but he doesnt even realize anythings wrong with his world so you could say hes voluntarily ignorant.
Both people are addicted to the media telling them what to do and theyve both lost their identities because they arent true to themselves, but only the first guy senses that somethings wrong. Either way, theyve both lost sight of their true selves. the same one that took away his voice, and just left the instrumental. Theyve both lost their true inner self, and they just have the outside left, the instrumental.
Lupe's a genius... or at least awake.
my favorite song by lupe fiasco would have to be inspirational and catchy. it would have to show his great flow and his raw emotion. his storytelling would be evident and show why lupe is respected as he is.
with that in mind, it was tough to narrow it down to "THE COOLEST"
"...Come, these are the tales of The Cool
Guaranteed to go and make you fail from your school
And seek unholy grails like a fool
And hang with the players of the pool, fast talking on the hustle
No Heaven up above you, no Hell underneath you
And nowhere will receive thee, so
Shed no tear, when we're not here
And keep your faith, as we chase
...The Cool ..."
Real. It might not be the first song that comes to mind when someone asks you what the best Lupe song is, but Real is definitely my favorite. Lupe's lyrics and flow are great and he says so much in so little. The beat doesn't sound like traditional hip hop which is cool and it puts out a lot of energy. Also the song has so many quotable quotes. Each line could be a quote pretty much.
I'm a new fan. My favorite song is Words I Never Said. I went from being called a wetback (by my 4th grade teacher) all the way through law school, calling out and taking action against every racist, misogynistic, anti-immigrant, homophobic practice, comment, person...at my worst I wonder if I said too much, at my best I knew I had to because no else was going to. This song is for people like me and I love Lupe for writing it.
I want one! I've gotta say my favorite Lupe song is Hurt Me Soul. I just connected to it so much, because at first I didn't like hip-hop when I first heard it either, due to all the general themes I couldn't really relate to. But that whole song is just full of great lyricism, and touches on tons of major world issues. I still get chills when I hear the last line "All the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24 inch wheels", because it's so true. So much is happening on the world yet people continually live their lives based around material things.
So for all that I've gotta say Hurt Me Soul is my favorite Lupe song.
My favorite Lupe track is Fighters. There isnt one bad song on The Cool, but this track stands out to me. The heartfelt lyrics, the soothing yet simple instrumental, and Matthew Santos kills the hook. Matter of fact, my entire family loves this song.
Unfortunately, The Cool dropped about a month before my father passed. My mom and grandmother asked if there was a particular if there was a particular song that my sibling and I wanted to hear after the wake and funeral, while everyone was meeting in the church after the burial. All my siblings picked The Fighters, and every time I hear Lu say "Man, I really miss my pops, hope that God watches over him and that he's up top" it always hits home. Immediately after my dad's death I didnt play the track for like a month, but as time has gone on I play it constantly.
The track has the most play on my iTunes:)
My favorite Lupe song is defiantly "He Say, She Say". My parents separated when I was 4, and I have never lived with my dad since then. I love him, but I wish he could have spent more time with me. This song brings tears to my eyes every time, but it just makes me want to be a better father when I grow up.
I loved how he was telling a extended story through a bunch of songs on Food and Liquor and The Cool, i was kind of hoping to see him continue that on LASERS but it was still amazing! Favorite of all time though is definitely Failure. The lyricism and wordplay is just jaw dropping and it just has that feel good care-free feeling to it.
Sunshine. I feel a close connection to this song because it was the song i first used in a mixing and scratching dj class at UCLA wooden center. The song reminded me of someone very close to my heart and gave a wide range of emotions from happiness to sadness. It was very deep song that makes my heart heavy everytime i heart it. Thank you for the motivation and the memories, I'll never forget the experiences i have when i play that song.
I love all his songs, it's like asking a parent to pick their favorite child.........Um. My go-to song has always been Theme Music To A Drive-By. The beat is so sick, and while Lupe is always lyrical that song is over the top.
They deranged like the rover that I rode
That was the Range that I drove when I was a little bit older mayne
Declaring war on the deck like they the joker all wild
Duckin from bruce wayne
While they poker with the devil in a moonlitten ghetto
"Hello My Name" stickers on the stickers of the veins
In rehab remembering the feelings when they used to get mellow
When they was all back of a nickel like Monticello
When the underworld had to be smarter than donatello
No honor amongst fellows
It's harder than sittin with a blind man and tryin to describe yellow
WOW!!!! Just WOW!! His lyrics flow so well my favorite but I would take any of his song, but this one stands out.
Cool is my favorite. Songs that have a tale that can be followed and visualized are the most fun to listen to. It's got a ton of imagery, in which the listener can form their own mental images and perception of what this man is going through. I also dig the whole concept of chasing the cool, and how it can affect a person if someone is too obsessed with one minor aspect of life. Lupe, you're a genius.
Favorite Song has to be "Jedi Mind Tricks".Not only is it classic, uncensored lupe, but the message is delivered in an impeccable flow. He uses the English language like he invented it, with wordplay like "They trying censor the influence-ah, just makes me sicka, influenza." These types of lines are what made me a Lupe fan. FNF up!
-And I'm brainless, Which means I'm? headless, Like Ichabod Crane is
(lupe says he's brainless because he says Ichabod Crane is headless when he has a head in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" when the headless horseman didn't)
-Or foreplay-less sex is
( Foreplay-less sex = no oral sex, like giving head. thus, foreplay-less sex is headless like the headless horseman)
-Which makes me sane-less
(not in your right mind or not using your head which lupe already explained he had no head)
Lupe is the man! One of my Favs! I just picked that one randomly. I love it because Lupe shows how much of a genius he is in that song. His wordplay is so dope!! I made tons of friends loopy for Lupe with this lol.
I'm probably gonna have to go with hurt me soul. The beat is just so sick and the whole song is pretty much him in terms of style and lyrics. He even has his own hook instead having a featured artist on it. The song is just plain relaxin. He still gets to put in his little story and rap about the world, but not hella crazy in depth like words i never said. Hurt me soul is one of those songs that really paint a picture as you're listening to it. The thought he puts into his lyrics is just crazy:
So through the Grim Reaper sickle sharpening
Macintosh marketing
Oil field augering
Brazilian adolescent disarmament
Israeli occupation
Islamic martyrdom, precise
Yeah, laser guided targeting
Oil for food, water, and terrorist organization harborin
Sand camouflage army men
CCF sponsorin, world conquerin, telephone monitorin
Louis Vuitton modelin, pornographic actress honorin
String theory ponderin, bullimic vomitin
Catholic priest fondlin, pre-emptive bombin and Osama and no bombin them
They breakin in my car again, deforestation and overloggin and
Hennessy and Hypnotic swallowin, hydroponic coughin and
All the world's ills, sittin on chrome 24-inch wheels, like that
It's just crazy how he put this verse in and how everything goes together. He's puttin in word after word after every comma makin them all connect and rhyme... and he only has like one filler. That's beast, that's lupe.

Herbed biscuits
Decades ago, our family spent vacations camping in Arkansas. We'd eat out twice: Once for fried catfish and hush puppies and the other time for a pancake breakfast. Reading the menus in the Mountain Home cafe, my Chicago-born siblings and I would marvel at the odd-sounding options, especially biscuits and gravy. We knew biscuits: Our mom served them for dessert with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. But breakfast? With sausage gravy? Not so much.

Phoronix: Kernel Mode-Setting Push For Linux 2.6.29 Kernel
David Airlie has just called upon Linus Torvalds to pull the kernel mode-setting framework and Intel KMS driver support into the Linux 2.6.29 kernel. If you're a faithful Phoronix reader this shouldn't come as a surprise since Intel, Red Hat, and others have been busy hacking away at kernel mode-setting to get it ready to merge. The core kernel mode-setting code will now be in the next mainline kernel release along with the Intel i915 KMS driver, but the kernel must be built with the CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS option since KMS isn't yet enabled by default...

What is the schedule now?
Do radeon developers add changes to GEM, so that even radeon cards runs with GEM quite well and not only intel devices?
And if they do so, what is with radeonhd? Can they use the (extended/adjusted) GEM as well as radeon?
I'm also curious about radeonhd support - is KMS something that can be easily ported between the two? It seems like most of the differences between radeon and radeonhd are in the hardware initialization, which I assume is what would go into the kernel. Are there any plans to just use the same code in the kernel, and if so would radeonhd just go away or are there other significant differences?
There aren't really substantial differences, so when kms becomes mainstream, radeonhd will likely fade away.
As for GEM support, neither radeon nor radeonhd makes real use of it yet (the only real use in the Xorg driver is for UXA acceleration, which hasn't been implemented for anything except intel yet). I'm not sure of the status of GEM support in Mesa, although I believe it is used for Intel, at least.
Well, nice to see, that kms+intel finally seems to be ready. I'm tracking development for a few weeks now and repositories have been very busy, which is great to see....CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS option since KMS isn't yet enabled by default
Hardware: GMA X4500, GM45.
- kernel: master + airlie's drm-next
- mesa, drm: master
- xorg: master
- video-intel: master
I got UXA running, but using "i915 modeset=1" produces a black screen at start of GDM and forces me to do a SysRq reboot. I can nevertheless report that the freezes using Compiz are finally gone with UXA.
Edit: Btw, I build video-intel with the kms-switch.

It would be quite dissapointing if kms/gem for radeon didn't make it into 2.6.30 ...
It's 3 months to get there but it's half year for a stable kernel with it... Some people don't want to use/compile RCs. And kernel is quite crucial part of the system so it does make sense to not use RCs.
Not exactly, no.
Every distribution I know lets you install several kernels side-by-side enabling you to fall back to a working configuration. I use 2.6.27, 2.6.28-rc* (and now 2.6.28) the Debian way (make-kpkg) and I can remove or add any kernel I build easily.
There's by the way not even a reason to not use RCs at all if you are not affected by a _very_ serious bug (e1000 :-). The difference between a kernel with drm-next pulled by Linus or one where I merge Dave Airlie's branch myself (and maybe get all bugfixes before they land in Linus' kernel) does not exist, imho.
My three cents, btw...
The e1000 bug was quite serious. I think that example proves my point. Sure you can have a stable kernel and a RC on the same distro, but the stable one will not fix the hardware that RC broke.
That said distros don't usually package kernel RCs, and not everyone wants to compile his kernel and repeat the process with every new RC (2 week time), and some users may not want to compile their own kernel at all

Rated 5 out of 5�by oneyskid Best spikes out there
I love the ability to adjust the firmness level of these spikes. I always wear out the same spikes on my shoes and this helps with traction levels, especially on wet days

Rated 1 out of 5�by Chief This product does NOT fit all the shoes it claims!! Adidas for sure
I purchased the most expensive pair of Adidas cleated golf shoes dicks offered. Last year with tax they were almost 150$!! Come back a year later for spikes and these are the spikes the golf clerk recommended! I expressed my concern because they claim to fit many different styles of shoes. He assured by reading the back they would fit my new Adidas! Of course when i try to install the cleats the pattern is obviously different. Tried anyway and on the first tee box all the cleats I install came out!!!! I was extremely upset and had to reinstall the old stock cleats before I could continue during a shotgun tournament!! I felt rushed and bogies followed the next 4 holes completely blowing any chance of a descent finish!! Finished fifth right outside of the money!!! Only top four were paid!! This to me is unacceptable customer service from a well known business!!

Rated 2 out of 5�by Craig63 They tear up the green
Walking on the green with these spikes leaves marks and small holes on the putting surface. It wasn't the surface itself because the other golfers spikes were fine, mine were leaving marks.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Buzz06 exactly what I was looking for.
I always liked my metal spikes on golf shoes. The softspikes I have had to use look like spider legs and they wear out too fast.
These Softspides Black Widow Tour are perfect. The Comfort and Firm feature works beautifully and really are as described. I am currently trying the custom setup but think I will change the spikes to the Tour Firm setting.
Thanks for a product that really works as designed.

Homemade Christmas Gifts...oh my!
This is the first time I am making my own (hand made with much love if not expertise!) foodie Christmas gifts. I had been toying with the idea for some time now. I have made food gifts in the past, but these were all for individual persons, on individual occasions. I had the luxury of time to plan out personalized selections, excitedly including what I knew were favorites, expanding the selection as much as my imagination dictated. Christmas is a whole other affair. Multiple recipients, timing, and the logistics of it all daunted me. But all the inspiring posts out there about fabulous Christmas goodies straight out of the kitchen motivated me to go for it.
Also, this is the first Christmas C and I will be giving joint presents. Our little dry run for next year. So why not mark this first with another? Something which perhaps will lead to our very first Christmas tradition...and something which can be continued next year from our very own shared kitchen. Ok, warm and tingly moment there.
Moving right along, what to give? I decided on something I have already tried (no need to up the stress level unnecessarily)...these dark and decadent chocolate truffles. This is one of the first recipes I bookmarked from a food blog -- Truffes au Chocolat from Chocolate & Zucchini. Clotilde made these as Christmas presents back in 2003. She is an inspiration, and so here I am, 2 years later, trying to follow her talented Parisian footsteps. I am rolling some in unsweetened cocoa (as above) and others in crushed walnuts. I have merrily procured some gold tins, chocolate brown ribbon, white paper doilies, plastic sacks with a white lace design, and gold wire ties to package these little balls of chocolate goodness.
Good luck to me and Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Here's to a very merry Christmas with great food all around! :)

I am doing the same thing with my biscotti, your truffles look great. I am on low carb so I'm only tasting the biscotti not really eating them. Too bad for me.
- Mila Tan said...
The truffles look amazing. Were all the ingredients locally available? Or did you dig into your balikbayan box c/o mom?
Great going chichajo and have a great holiday weekend! - 10:05 AM

I made some truffles two weeks ago...and will post my version in the days after Christmas...was really easy and delicious if the base chocolate is good...
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Gia! That biscotti looked mighty tempting :) Hey, have a whole biscotti...it's Christmas! I won't tell the low-carb police ;)
Hi Mila! Thanks! I got all the ingredients locally: dark Callebaut chocolate blocks from Cooks Exchange, and local butter and cream. I was making 4 batches so I didn't have enough funds for a splurge. But if I'm just making one batch for someone special (like for a birthday) then I'd use Vahlrona (also available locally at Bacchus, Shangri-la Makati) and French or Danish butter (also available locally in Rustan's or Terry's Selection) :) Have a wonderful holidays!
Hi Lera! I agree, they are a treat and a gift from the heart to boot :) Merry Christmas! :)
Hi Marketman! Can't wait for your post! Yes, it all hinges on the quality of chocolate used...and I love how easy it is :) - 11:51 PM

I don't have a big sweet tooth, but truffles are a particular weakness, and yours look great. Now, the most important question ... how to get on your recipient list for next year?! ;)
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Scanns! Thanks! Hope you also had a blessed Christmas :)
Thanks Lani! :)
Hey there Alley Cat! Thanks for dropping by and for all your sweet comments :) It really means a lot! I love bangus too! Hope you have a great New Year's! :)
Hi Cynthia! Thanks for stopping by :) I'm no cooking expert and don't have a ton of experience, just love experimenting in the kitchen :) And I LOVE food :) Thank you for your kind words and encouragement...they mean a lot :)
Hi Sweetnicks! Thanks! I love truffles...the darker the better :) To get on my recipient list next year? Well, I guess you'd have to visit these little islands because I don't think the truffles would survive the journey ;) - 1:19 PM
- alley cat said...

Hi Alley Cat! It warms my heart to hear people say nice things about my home :) You should definitely make a trip back and explore some more...I live in Manila so I have to travel a bit to get to the beaches but it's well worth the effort for me. I love the beach! :)
Hello Zita! Your homemade gifts sound lovely! :) Especially the garlic paste...I love garlic! Would you mind sharing the recipe? :) - 1:26 PM
