via PlayStation Blog.This Wednesday, 24th October, we will be releasing a new system software update for PlayStation 3 (version 4.30). With this update, you will be able to view the Trophies on your PlayStation 3 that you've earned playing PlayStation Vita games. Now you'll be able to show off your Trophy grand total to all your friends.
By the beginning of November, 2012, we will terminate the services available through the Life with PlayStation application. In conjunction with the termination, we will stop offering the Life with PlayStation application to new users with the 4.30 update. This includes the conclusion of our participation with Stanford University's Folding@home, a distributed computing project aimed at understanding protein folding, misfolding and studying the causes of a variety of diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cancers.
We'd like to thank the more than 15 million users that have participated in the program since it started on PS3 in 2007. PS3 users have donated in total more than 100 million computation hours to the Folding@home project to date, and as a result, contributed greatly to Stanford University's Alzheimer's disease research. Considering the contribution PS3 has made to the project, we decided the termination as a result of discussions with Stanford University.
Vijay Pande, Folding@home research lead at Stanford University, had this to say about your contributions:
"The PS3 system was a game changer for Folding@home, as it opened the door for new methods and new processors, eventually also leading to the use of GPUs.
"We have had numerous successes in recent years. Specifically, in a paper just published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, we report on tests of predictions from earlier Folding@home simulations, and how these predictions have led to a new strategy to fight Alzheimer's disease.
"The next steps, now underway at Stanford, are to take this lead compound and help push it towards a viable drug. It's too early to report on our preliminary results there, but I'm very excited that the directions set out in this paper do appear to be bearing fruit in terms of a viable drug (not just a drug candidate)."
You can still support Folding@Home through the home page.

Once we got the games this function pretty much became non-relevent on my ps3. I just hope the trophy system continues to improve.

Never used them anyway. Sad for those that enjoyed those features. Oh well, it probably wasn't a big thing anyway. If it was, they would keep them.

So now if I want to run Folding@Home, OtherOS, and games I need 3 PS3's.

I've used life with Playstation, it was a neat music and world news app. Seems silly to drop it completely.
A PS4 is sold every 2s.

Hate that trophies are going to the PSN section, that seems like a needless change :/

I agree, but its about time we see PSV games on the list too. Thats awesome.
As for LwP, I used that app a lot when it came out and did a fair lot of folding. It made me feel like I was doing something meaningful >< Its not a service thats dying you can still do it on your PC, but aside from that LwP's globe view news and weather thing was pretty lacking and boring I felt.
I'm not too worried its gone as my console is mainly for gaming tbh

I wonder if they are going to tell Standford:
It's still up. It's pretty crappy that you can't do this any more with the update.
PSU.com team is pretty poor lol

To the defence of all ex folders this is not the official folding team of the forums.
Bellow is the right page and we did good for a time. Folding was kind of big around here 4 or so years ago.
10-23-2012 #22
Yeah its a shame to see the PS3 Folding client go, I haven't used it in a fair few months now, my CPU and GPU make far more points per day now. The team is still going though, a few dedicated soles remain, me included.
Folding@home is still a great project and can use all the help your willing to give. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage
Hopefully we might see a PS4 client in the future.

The Red Sox scored four runs in the second inning. The inning started with a walk to Mike Napoli, who took third on a double by Xander Bogaerts and scored on A.J. Pierzynski's fly to center. Middlebrooks hit an RBI single and took third on a double by Bradley. Pedroia singled in two runs and was out trying for a double.
NOTES: Boston 3B Middlebrooks (right calf strain) was activated from the disabled list for Friday's game. INF Brock Holt was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket after Thursday night's game. ... Toronto RHP Casey Janssen (left abdominal/lower back strain) hopes to throw a bullpen session today or Sunday and would need to throw another session before going on a rehabilitation assignment. ...

Phillies, Rockies set for East-West showdown
Pettibone, Chatwood to meet in opener of weekend set in Denver
The Phillies' pitching staff could use a pick-me-up.
Even after Thursday's 1-0 win over the visiting Braves, Philadelphia ranked 12th in the National League with a 4.17 team ERA.
Help is likely coming when left-handed ace Cole Hamels returns after being sidelined with biceps tendinitis in his throwing arm. Earlier this week, Phillies assistant general manager Scott Proefrock termed it "a distinct possibility" that Hamels will rejoin the rotation early next week. That was before Hamels yielded just one run and three hits in seven innings of his rehab start Thursday for Class A Clearwater.
Knowing he could be the odd man out when Hamels returns, Jonathan Pettibone will get a try at filling the void opposite Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood on Friday night in the series opener at Coors Field.
Pettibone did his part against the Marlins last Saturday in his season debut, allowing eight hits and two runs (one earned) while picking up the no-decision in the Phillies' 5-4 win. The 23-year-old righty, whom Philadelphia selected in the third round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, fanned five and walked one while tossing 80 pitches.
More secure is Chatwood's spot on the foundering Rockies' pitching staff, which began Thursday ranked 14th in the NL in ERA.
Colorado activated Chatwood from the 15-day disabled list on Sunday before the right-hander made his season debut that night in San Francisco. He went six innings and gave up six hits and four runs, striking out five and walking none while earning a no-decision.
The Giants went on to win, 5-4, in 10 innings, but Colorado pitching coach Jim Wright was encouraged by Chatwood's first Major League start since he strained his left hamstring in his final Spring Training appearance.
"I liked his tempo. I liked the command of his pitches. He wasn't overthrowing," Wright said. "He made some good choices in his pitch selection. If we see that type of Tyler Chatwood every time, he's putting himself in position to have a really good year."
Rockies: Brothers still has manager's trust
Reliever Rex Brothers has had a rough start to the 2014 season. He picked up his first loss on Sunday night when San Francisco's Brandon Crawford led off the bottom of the 10th inning with a home run that landed in McCovey Cove, sending the Giants to a dramatic 5-4 win.
Brothers then blew his first save in Monday night's 5-4 loss to San Diego, when a wild pitch and an errant throw back to the plate from catcher Wilin Rosario allowed the tying and winning runs to score. Brothers walked three hitters to set up the walk-off defeat.
What's his solution for turning things around?
"It's making pitches, simple as that," Brothers said. "Stay aggressive. That usually takes care of a lot. It did hurt, it did sting. I've been pretty happy that I haven't had to go through this in a while. But like I say, it's an aggressive mindset."
Brothers bounced back to pitch a 1-2-3 seventh inning in Colorado's 3-1 win over the Padres on Thursday.
Phillies: Revere comes through late
The Phillies needed a clutch hit on Thursday to avoid getting swept by the division-leading Braves. They also needed it to snap a scoreless streak that had dated back to Monday.
Philadelphia got it in the eighth inning of a scoreless game when center fielder Ben Revere came through with a two-out RBI single to score Domonic Brown, giving the Phillies some momentum before the club embarks on a 10-game road trip.
With one out in the seventh inning, Revere also made a headfirst diving catch on Dan Uggla's sinking line drive.
In 14 games this season, Revere is hitting .288 (15-for-52) with seven runs and a team-best five stolen bases.
Worth noting
• Pettibone would just as soon forget his one career appearance against the Rockies, as he lasted just three innings, allowing seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits with a walk and a strikeout.
• The Rockies went 2-for-7 with runners in scoring position on Thursday. While going 3-4 on a seven-game road trip, the Rockies batted just .217 with RISP. Of course, they're a different team at Coors Field, where they're batting .356 in such scenarios so far this season.

I believe that the consensus is:
1: People do not want to pay $10 to test software.
2: The game in the video looks dated compared to modern offerings (Skyrim)
3: It is not FOSS.
This game looks more like Morrowind, which can currently be purchased 2nd hand for $10. Plus you'll get a level editor, and a ton of content if you pick up the GOTY trilogy.

Tests & Diagnosis

How is Huntington disease diagnosed?
The diagnosis of Huntington disease is suspected clinically in the presence of the following:[1]
Progressive motor disability featuring chorea; voluntary movement may also be affected
Mental disturbances including cognitive decline, changes in personality, and/or depression
Family history consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance
Last updated: 2/25/2010
Is genetic testing for Huntington disease available?
Testing of adults at risk for Huntington disease who have no symptoms (asymptomatic) of the disease has been available for over ten years. This type of testing is called predictive testing. Predictive testing requires careful thought, including pretest and post-test genetic counseling. This is particularly important as there is currently no cure for Huntington disease. It is also important to understand that this testing is not useful in accurately predicting the age a person found to carry a Huntington disease causing mutation will begin experiencing symptoms, the severity or type of symptoms they will experience, or rate of disease progression. However, data reported in 2004 concerning the likelihood that an individual with a particular size of trinucleotide repeats will be affected by a specific age may be useful.[1][2] The Pacific Northwest Regional Genetics Group (PacNoRGG) has published a guide that can help people consider the issues around testing for HD entitled, "Testing for Huntington Disease: Making an Informed Choice"

Brothers show act of kindness
Boys use savings to help theft victims
A recent pop machine burglary in Baltic had two store owners feeling lighter in the wallet. But the goodwill of two young boys has all four optimistic about a future profit.On Jan. 10, Doug Cohen, co-owner of D&D Market, arrived at work to find the Pepsi machine outside the front entrance of his store had been robbed. Authorities later learned two convenience stores in Dell Rapids – T&C's and T&C's Other Place – were also robbed the same night. Cohen said authorities have a suspect targeted but wasn't sure if anyone had been apprehended.Cohen said the amount of money taken will have an impact on his bottom-line for the month, and the theft would certainly make paying bills more challenging."They cleaned out every bit of cash that was in there," he said.The next day, friend and customer Danielle Eszlinger and her two boys Kolten and Gibsen were in the store and Cohen told them what had happened."The kids basically overheard how we'll never see the money again and we can't afford to lose (that amount of money)," Cohen said."Kolten, 10, and Gibsen, 7, said they were sad to hear that someone had stolen from the store owners who's business was already feeling the negative effects of the Highway 114 bridge being closed. So the boys hatched a plan to help the Cohens out. Having built up a sizable savings from birthday money and collecting cans, the brothers figured the hunting gear and triathlon bike they were after could wait. After all, the Cohens were part of group of area residence that helped save cans for the boys.Mom said she couldn't discourage her children from giving back to the community.The next day, when Kolten and Gibsen followed through with their plan and showed up to the D&D Market, Cohen couldn't believe it either."They came in with this little baggie that had $281 in it, and we're like 'We can't take this,'" said Cohen, who admits the gesture caused him to choked up a bit. "It was really surprising and crazy."Although the Eszlingers made the Cohens promise to accept the money as a gift, refusing to take it back or accept anything in return, the brothers were presented with two certificates of investment in the store.Cohen told the boys their money will be used to purchase products and supplies for the store and in one year, and in one year's time, they will see a return on their investment, making Kolten and Gibsen some of the youngest investors in the state.

Packers: Favre officially on reserve/retired list
Updated: April 26, 2008, 10:07 PM ET

The Green Bay Packers placed quarterback Brett Favre on the NFL reserve-retired list Friday, effectively further shutting the door on his coming out of retirement.
General manager Ted Thompson says the move, which means the legendary QB no longer counts on the team's 80-player roster, was "procedural in nature" ahead of the NFL draft.
"Both [coach] Mike McCarthy and I have spoken to Brett over the past several days," Thompson said in a statement. "Brett knew this change in his ...

This page provides a quick run-through of what the <b>Stored Override</b> example does. For more details, you should refer to the source, which you will find in the download kit under:
You can build and run the example by simply cd
'ing into that directory and typing ant
Example Scenario
Suppose that we have a simple JSR175 annotation type called DeploymentInfo
which specifies a 'cacheSize' attribute for some kind of deployment unit:
Suppose that we also have an deployment unit called TinyCacheEJB
which has a DeploymentInfo
This example demonstrates a very simple way in which we might use Annogen to allow for the value of cacheSize
to be overridden in an elegant manner.
Generate Phase
The first thing we have to do is generate an AnnoBean
that will act as a proxy to instances of DeploymentInfo
. To do this, we simply run Annogen's compilation task on DeploymentInfo
This generates a DeploymentInfoAnnoBean
that implements DeploymentInfo
Override Phase
Notice that the generated DeploymentInfoAnnoBean
class has a setter for cacheSize
. We're now going to create an AnnoOverrider
which uses that setter to effectively change the size of the cache on TinyCacheEJB
. We first create an instance of StoredAnnoOverrider
, which is a helper class Annogen provides for building simple AnnoOverriders
requires us to make an ElementId
for the TinyCacheEJB
...which we will use to get an instance of the DeploymentInfoAnnoBean
which applies to TinyCacheEJB
The StoredAnnoOverrider
will provide this DeplyomentInfoAnnoBean
as a replacement for the DeploymentInfo
annotation on TinyCacheEJB
. So, if we change the value of cacheSize on it:
We have changed the value of cache size for TinyCacheEJB
as it will appear when our framework code views its DeploymentInfo
View Phase
Compared to the Override phase, the View phase is very simple. All we have to do is create an AnnoViewer
which knows about the AnnoOverrider
we created above:
This annoViewer
can now tell us about any annotations want to know about, and it will take our overrides into account. So, if get the DeploymentInfo
for TinyCacheEJB
we will get back a DeploymentInfo annotation object which reflects our cacheSize override.
In reality, deploymentInfo
is an instance of DeploymentInfoAnnoBean
, but one nice thing here is that it is an instance of our regular 175 annotation type, DeploymentInfo
. We can look at the cacheSize
value on the TinyCacheEJB and just go deploy it without a bunch of extra messy logic to check whether the value was overridden.
This is one of the key advantages the Annogen provides: the logic for overriding annotations is cleanly paritioned away from the code which is trying to do something with those annotations.

Audiences will be treated to a medley of their favorite animated Disney movies throughout the years, including the very first full-length animated film, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," and the 50th Disney film, "Tangled." With eight movies and more than 50 Disney characters featured, "Treasure Trove" has a story for every generation, according to the Disney folks. Mickey and Minnie – assisted by Donald and Goofy – lead the way as they embark on a treasure hunt for the best of the Disney film legacy. "We've chosen some of the greatest gems from the Disney treasure chest for this production," said Producer Nicole Feld. "We went through our entire portfolio of Disney On Ice shows, trying to bring something very different to audiences. We wanted to pick action-packed stories that really resonated with not only kids today, but with their parents as well. "Treasure Trove" has everything from the swashbuckling pirates in "Peter Pan" to the comedic duo Timon and Pumbaa in "The Lion King." The production is jam-packed with characters and segments from the beloved Disney film vault. It includes moments from classic Disney films like "Peter Pan," "The Lion King," "Alice in Wonderland," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Aladdin," and "The Little Mermaid," as well as new favorites "Tangled" and "Princess and the Frog." The goal was create to a fast-paced action-packed show that explores classic stories in a contemporary way, according to Director Patty Vincent. "This treasure hunt is a fun, cute way to thread all these stories together," said Vincent. "Families still love the classic stories and we've put a new twist on them."

Looks really nice. Had a hard time screwing one together because the threads did not match up right. I thought it was a little too high. Size of pot to put in is on the small side which makes it dry up quickly. Also had a hard time finding pot to fit. Ended up using a six inch pot. Looks nice though. Plenty of compliments already. Sets off a walkway nicely.

I've put the stake in a spot in my yard that's a bit empty. It dresses up the area & keeps the fragile plant off the ground. Plus the view is nice from the patio.

I bought 3 of these to line my front walkway. They look great. They were easy to put together. The only drawbacks are one was not straight when I put the pieces together, and a 5" pot is the biggest these hold. That does not allow much room for planting, and dries out very quickly. Wish they had these for 6 or 8" pots!

The Keddie Ridge Hazardous Fuels Reduction plan is almost on the table
Alicia KnadlerIndian Valley Editor6/30/2010
Breathing easier may be just a few more months away for residents who have lived in fear of wildfires since the Moonlight Fire in 2007 caused so many of them to evacuate their homes, and even the state during the weeks of smoke- and ash-filled skies that seemed to spread from Southern California all the way to the Oregon border.
Forest Service experts are now studying and incorporating public comments made in previous rounds, including those made during the first scoping stage in December 2006, another in 2009 and the current one this year.
Although the date was past for comment Wednesday, June 16, when officials conducted an open house in Greenville, they were still accepting comments from those few people who attended.
Among those attending were Bob Carter of Round Valley Lake Resort, where one treatment unit is located.
Rather than a focus on fuel reduction for safety's sake, this area is one where the hazardous fuel reduction is secondary to the protection and enhancement of habitat for bald eagle nesting areas and sensitive plants like the lady's-slipper orchid and Constance's rock cress.
"It really needs it," Carter said in support of the thinning work needed to accomplish the habitat improvements.
While Carter did not submit a written comment, at least two other attendees did, Greenville resident Hank Alrich, who is against the use of herbicides for the several noxious weed treatment units proposed, and Counties' Quincy Library Group Forester Frank Stewart, who urged movement ahead on the project, as well as total removal of proposed noxious weed treatments with herbicide.
"Do not hang up this urgently needed project because of 102 acres of desired noxious weed treatments with herbicides," he wrote in an April 2010 comment.
Rather than placing the whole project at risk from appeals and lawsuits that would be filed by objectionists, like Californians for Alternatives to Toxics, he thought the treatments should be removed and done in a completely separate project.
Several of the Keddie units are marked for noxious weed treatment, including Peter's Creek, where there are star thistles over a large area adjacent to private land, and north of the confluence of Lights and Indian creeks, where there are star and Canada thistles, as well as Medusahead. And there are others.
Besides the comment opposing inclusion of herbicide treatments and several helpful comments about the completeness and relevance of the project documents, Stewart also emphasized the social and economic importance of moving forward without any more delays.
"We are 11 years into a five-year, congressionally approved pilot project, and only 58 percent of the acres, 46 percent of the saw log volume and 58 percent of the biomass volume have been accomplished," Stewart wrote. "In case you are not aware, the current unemployment situation in Plumas County is at 22.8 percent and every effort must be made to get this and other QLG projects through the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process and on to the bid table so contracts can be awarded and people can get back to work!"
Another of the points he made in writing was that it is important to include historical and charted images of all hazardous fuels thinning projects done in the area, kind of like providing the "big picture," that shows how all such projects in the Wildland Urban Interface area are connected to provide a more fire-resistant landscape around communities like those in Indian Valley.
Back on Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2007, a map from the scoping documents that ran on the front page of the Indian Valley Record included depictions of these interfaces, though not of all the other interconnected projects.
This year, that map was available during the final round of scoping, thanks to the Plumas County Fire Safe Council. This map ran on the front page of the April 21, 2010 issue of the Indian Valley Record and in other county newspapers.
Other comments received can be classified in two categories, supportive and oppositional.
Each is important in the scoping process, according to project leader Katherine Carpenter of the Mt. Hough Ranger District.
"We have a role to play in bringing forward opposing views," she said.
For example, while Forest Service scientists might claim a 40-percent canopy cover is most beneficial for both fire resilience and habitat improvement, oppositionists claim that scientific research from a variety of sources points to a desired 70- to 90-percent canopy cover.
And in the case of the spotted owl, local scientists have observed them living in burned areas of the forest, while oppositionists did not think that would be possible.
Carpenter said the agency must read each reference made in those opposing viewpoints and then decide what to dismiss and what to incorporate based on the relevance.
"They (oppositionists and other groups) often submit references from old studies or those done elsewhere, some of which are not applicable to conditions on Plumas National Forest," she said.
For example, one argument against herbicide use is that is will negatively impact a coral reef out in the ocean, while the scientists here know that such small amounts used so far away will not have such an impact.
So in that one case, the argument would be dismissed, while others, such as application methods to mitigate impacts might be incorporated.
"We certainly incorporate their ideas," Carpenter said. "Many times they show us things we were not aware of."
Comments not mentioned already include supportive comments from the California Forestry Association which, like Stewart, wish the economics to be considered in the plan, as well as Sierra Pacific Industries who, also like Stewart, wished work to be started on the ground as soon as possible, since it was originally expected the final environmental analysis to be completed by August 2007, the month before the Moonlight Wildfire.
One comment was received in support of maintaining and improving off-highway vehicle access in the forest.
Opposing comments were from groups like CATs, The John Muir Project and Sierra Forest Legacy.
Other comments included private interests and those made in concern of historical and cultural resources from Enterprise Rancheria of Oroville and the Chico Rancheria.
Those interested in studying the scoping documents online may visit http://bit.ly/9cpbfv. The Forest Service project page will open, and viewers may click on the Keddie Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be published to the site until it is completed, probably in October 2010, when there will be another opportunity for public comment.
To see the comments or for other viewing options, those interested may call Katherine Carpenter at 283-7619.

...in terms of making the populations roughly equal. Each side has two "pretty" races and one "monstrous" race.
"Tiny clown, he got wet. I was talking to a psychic and I can't sleep in the ozone. There are too many different peanuts, looking sad. |
they just divided it up by geographical regions. but yes Orcs are 'pretty'.
I think the prostitute mod corrupted your game files man. -elhefen |
Lol how dare you think something positive for this game. Much less post such Positive thought in a public forum for all to behold
No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin |
Originally posted by apocoluster Ironic that the one positive thought about this game is so blatantly wrong... Some polls estimate that the Ebonheart Pact will have over 50% of the population, giving them dominance 24/7. Putting Nords, Argonians, and Dunmer on one side was not smart, despite it making some geographical sense... Edit: On the other hand, I guess they didn't have much of a choice, I dont see how else they could've divied them up. |
Originally posted by Axxar Maybe you're forgetting that Nords and Argonians and Dunmer are the most popular races and every poll about what faction people are going to choose has Ebonheart with 50-60% of the votes across the board. Ebonheart will be the cominant faction no matter what. They put no thought into balance, they just grabbed the races that lived next to each other (or in Hammerfell's face, on top of each other). |
one of the things i like about tes is it doesnt have "pretty" races. elves in most mmos are typically girly men / porn stars in chainmail bikinis. tes elves are more strange looking / alien |
Originally posted by Entinerint ah come on loads of people play as rogues - typically kahjit if going melee or wood elf if going bow, or just kahjit anyway because kahjit are cool. |
Originally posted by Qallidexz put them next door to each other - make aldameri dominion all 3 elf races then had the 3 human races and the 3 "beast" races (although technically orcs are a 4th elf race arent they?) |
They could have let the factions be non race related and let people fight for the 'cause' they saw best fitting their character but I guess that was too hard to program :( The one thing I really do not like about the game so far from what I have heard is how they have designed the faction and race restrictions along with map restrictions based on faction/race. I want to play a Breton who fights alongside the Nords....can't though! I also want to be able to trade with the Elves...but again I can't because I cannot enter their lands. I also want to remain out if the fight and be factionless....but I can't. The whole faction/race limitations are going the be the one thing that will stop me getting the game unless they really do a good job with the rest of the game and even then I am not sure I will get it. |
I think the race spread is fine tbh, its just unfortunate that Morrowind and Skyrim are next to each other, because those (and Cyrodil, but thats ok as its the shared pvp map) will be the places most people want to revisit. Only thing they can do about it imho is release faction trailers and make the other factions look more interesting/cooler than the Ebonheart Pact, but tbh no matter how nice they make them look, the desire to revisit the massive shrooms of Morrowind will still be a massive draw |
Originally posted by Maelwydd I think it could be kind of a cool mechanic if you had a sort of reputation system with the major factions. You'd be well liked by your starting faction, but hated by the opposing factions. But each faction would have spies and such in the enemy factions which you could do tasks for to change the reputations. This way you could slowly work towards a faction change until you're hunted out of your own area. But this sort of stuff is likely to be difficult to do since I'm getting the impression they're going for a very scripted leveling experience. But maybe it could be a feature unlocked when you hit the level cap. As long as they make the grind to switch difficult enough, most players will still stay with their starting faction, preserving the racial makeup of that faction. But there'll be a few exceptions, as there would be if it was "real." "Tiny clown, he got wet. I was talking to a psychic and I can't sleep in the ozone. There are too many different peanuts, looking sad. |

Originally posted by deakon I think you underestimate how much fans of the series will want to revisit places they havn't done in a very long time. I know myself I wanted to play Dunmer (Dark Elf) but after more thought I am seriously wanting to go play in Elsweyr (from Arena days) Valenwood or Hammerfell (From Daggerfall). |
Put all 3 elf races together?? Look at the map, it wouldn't have worked.
"Rogue" wood elf if i were to play... Which is on the cards but some of there systems worry me very much.. |
Originally posted by ShakyMo Well, if you want to talk rogues, there's nothing better than an Argonian. Shadowscale anyone? |
Originally posted by Entinerint If those numbers are true, then that's very sad to hear. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping to any conclusions, but a few months ago I did make a thread where I simply expressed concern over the three faction system, pointing out to the population imbalances that hurt RvR on many DAOC servers. I was pretty much laughed at and called all sorts of names, even one jackass who accused me of being "new to MMOs" despite my detailed recounts of a game released in 2001. That being said, I'm looking forward to this game. I love the lore of the Elder Scrolls and I think it's a fantastic MMO setting. I'm an open-minded person and I've found enjoyment in plenty of MMOs that everyone else seems to hate. I simply hope that Zenimax (That's the developer, right?) is preparing some sort of system to address issues of faction population imbalance. Because the absolute worst thing that can happen to someone is to invest time into a specific server, only to find out later that you're on the side that has less than 20% of the server population in a game based all around faction PvP. |
They pretty much butchered faction balance when they the top 3 popular races all in the same faction not to mention it doesn't make much sense how the Argonians would from an alliance with a race that enslaves them. And who says that you need to divide the races evenly into the factions? Unless they somehow make it where they limit the amount of people into Cyrodiil that are in an overpopulated faction I would say that PvP will be greatly imbalanced. I'm was on Jade Querry in GW2 and almost eveytime I checked out how the WvWvW is going they would almost always be dominating WvWvW so I don't buy the whole two lesser factions will team up on the larger faction. |
Originally posted by Ambros123 To be fair, if you've checked out the lore writing on the official website, it gives a fairly reasonable description of the Ebonheart's races. Basically, the main website seems to hint that the Ebonheart is strong when it comes to raw military power, but centuries of conflict have left plenty of distrust between the three races. So they have a major weakness in that they lack the unity and trust that the races of their rival factions have for each other. And I agree with what you say about two lesser factions double-teaming the bigger one. People love to talk about it, but it never even happened in DAOC. |
I agree
Originally posted by UWNVME The point you make about the Ebonheart having a weakness of trust and unity is fine except.....how will that affect players? It won't I suspect. Will the distrust mean members of the Ebonheart can attack each other more ofter? How exactly will the weakness actually have any effect on the game? This weakness is purely story based and will not have any effect in the game that I can tell. All this is, from the current information is an artificial mechanic to emulate the 3 faction fights that were in DAOC that the developer thinks is a sure bet. I think he is making a mistake. I think that the ability to actually think through this design concept has been glossed over simply because "DOAC worked, 3 factions are the way to go". For DOAC2 it might have fit but I think TESO deserved someone to sit down and deisgn system that works for TESO. A system that is inclusive of exploration, not restrictions based on faction. A system that allows players to choose any race and play any class and work anywhere they are willing to go if they accept the risks, not where the risks are totally removed by invisible walls. I keep reading about this game and I keep slapping my head in dismay. I am sad with their design idea's. |

Daily OCD: 4/6-4/9/12 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Zak Sally, Robert Crumb, reviews, Paul Nelson, Olivier Schrauwen, Monte Schulz, Love and Rockets, Kim Deitch, Kevin Avery, interviews, Guy Peellaert, Fantagraphics history, Daily OCD, Bill Griffith | 9 Apr 2012 7:10 PM |
A few days of Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson by Salt Lake City native Kevin Avery is a fitting testimonial to a man who pioneered rock 'n' roll criticism. Those familiar and unfamiliar with the culture of the '60s will appreciate this finely written tribute.... Overall, Everything Is an Afterthought will break your heart and inspire you to be a better person. It is a wonderful story of a man who deserves his chance in the spotlight." – Shelby Scoffield, Deseret News
• Excerpts: On his blog, writer Rob Trucks has a couple of bite-sized excerpts from Kevin Avery's Everything Is an Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson, here and here
• Review: If you've ever wondered what Tucker Stone might say about Love and Rockets #1, TCJ ahoy
• Review: "A little impenetrable in that wordless story kind of way, even when there are words. I like the stories – actually read them – but I'm more interested in studying the way each page sports a new texture or approach. The art is simply fantastic. Some stories retain a color scheme for their entirety and some switch up the limited palette within the story itself. Totally my kind of thing. I like the coloring, the line drawing, the combination of both. The graphic, printmaking quality of it and the 'classical' drawing are also attractive to me. I found myself just flipping through this collection for a long time.... High class stuff. Also, this book gets an award for best endpapers. Check it out." – Frank Santoro, The Comics Journal
• Review: "Lost and Found is the sort of retrospective project that begs summary statements. The introduction reads like a compressed memoir. The book, while extremely dense and a bit overwhelming to read, testifies to Griffith's heroic output of underground comics, and his commitment to a lifetime of making work that is challenging, inventive, and beautifully drawn. His signature narrative discombobulation and linguistic elasticity unite all these disparate pieces into a cohesive statement of surprise and protest. It is ridiculously quotable. Also, it is very funny. Lost and Found delivers wholesale entertainment value with a socially redeeming dose of satire." – Matthew Thurber & Rebecca Bird, The Comics Journal
• Interview (Audio): Inkstuds host Robin McConnell says of his latest episode, "One of the most prolific cartoonists of the underground generation, Bill Griffith, joined me to chat about his new collection, Lost and Found. It is an interesting conversation that touches on a number of different topics, ranging from his Zippy the Pinhead work, to discussing his contemporaries like Rory Hayes."
• Interview: Paul Gravett chatted with Robert Crumb for Art Review magazine; he presents an unexpurgated version at his blog: "In the last few years, I've got so deeply involved investigating scandalous shit that goes on in modern business and culture. It's very difficult to interpret in comics, I'm trying to figure it out. There's not a lot of action or humour, it's serious, grim shit. You could get your ass in trouble doing that, too. I remember when I did this thing in the Seventies, 'Frosty the Snowman', where I had him being this revolutionary who throws bombs at the Rockefeller mansion and shortly after that was published, the Internal Revenue Service came after me."
• Interview: Chris Mautner's Q&A with Zak Sally at Robot 6 is a must read: "I'm no Pollyanna, nor am I a hippie; the world is NOT cut and dried with stuff like this, nor do I view it that way — if, for instance, Fantagraphics (who I love dearly) decided to print all their stuff over here, they'd probably have to kill important books by artists who don't sell as well to ameliorate that extra cost. Or, hell, i don't know — maybe they'd go under. Do i want either of those things? Heck no. I want Noah van Sciver and Chris Wright's new books to get out in the world, and to reach their audience. I want Fantagraphics to be around for … forever. BUT: let's also not fool ourselves that this 'lowest cost' imperative isn't fucking up our world significantly, all day every day, as an economic paradigm. It's a real thing, and that can't be ignored either."
• Profile: At HiLobrow, Norman Hathaway puts the spotlight on Guy Peellaert: "Years later I realized that Peellaert had also been responsible for one of my favorite pieces of power-pop comic art; Jodelle (and later Pravda), which plastered hip, mid-'60s fashion drawing into a dystopian landscape of the future, done in a completely different linear graphic design-based style."
• Profile: Dan Taylor of The Press Democrat chats with Monte Schulz: "'My dad is actually mentioned in a very subtle way in The Big Town,' Schulz said. 'The main character, Harry, is in a barber shop. It says, "Back in St. Paul, he'd gotten his hair cut in the Family Barbershop on North Snelling Avenue by a cigar-smoking German fellow, whose young son drew funny little pictures."'"
• Profile (Video): Enjoy a brief video spotlight on the great Kim Deitch presented by Seth Kushner at Trip City
• Tribute/History: From last week, at The Stranger, rememberances of our former art director, the late Dale Yarger

Low Frequency Analysis of Small Rooms by Means of a Finite Element Model
P. Bonfiglio, and A. FarnetaniUniversità degli Studi di Ferrara
The main object of this paper is the determination of the impulse response, in the low frequency range, for calculating the reverberation time and the energetic parameters in this space.
An absorbing material is modelled by using the propagation of sound waves in an equivalent fluid.
The results of this Finite Element model are compared with experimental measurements of impulse responses in a real room.
