If your kids loved reading the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon books by Crockett Johnson, then they will love playing Max & the Magic Marker, an innovative video game playable on the Nintendo Wii or computers.
Max is a little boy who received a special marker in the mail. He immediately uses it to draw a series of pictures of his neighborhood and fanciful imaginary places. But when he creates a villain he named Mustacho, he discovered that Mustacho had come alive and was running amok through all his pictures. To stop Mustacho from destroying things, Max decides to draw himself, so that he, too, can appear within his drawings.
In Max & the Magic Marker, you play as Max on a quest to stop Mustacho. You can switch between the vibrant, animated, make-believe world found inside Max's drawings and the real, stationary world of Max's paper drawings. In both, you can use Max's special marker to create things such as bridges to cross water, stairs to climb up to places and a shelter to protect him from the rain.
Time stops when you switch out of Max's imagination. This mechanic allows you time to plan things out without the fear of a random attack of purple blob bad guys. It is also an important way to solve some of the game's devilishly challenging environmental puzzles. Sometimes, you can't see far enough to know what is in the next screen. But if you launch Max into the air or off a cliff, stop time, evaluate the situation, and then draw a way to rescue him before returning to the animated world, it may be the only way to move Max into the next painting.
The things you draw with the marker have substance and interact in the animated world as they would in real life. The rules of physics apply so that when you draw a ball in the air, it will fall down. Likewise, if you want to send Max flying through the air to reach a platform floating high above, you can draw a seesaw. By placing Max on one side and drawing a heavy weight to fall down on the other side, you accomplish your goal. Weight is created in this game by using more of the Magic Marker's ink.
However, ink is in limited supply. You have to run around finding globes filled with ink. At times, you may not have enough ink to draw your first solution, and will have to think up a way to draw something that takes less ink. For example, if you need to get up to a cliff high above and don't have enough ink to draw stairs, you might have to try a catapult.
There are three worlds to explore, each with five levels. In some, you will see houses and typical suburbia. In others you will explore ships in the sea, sides of volcanic mountains and tunnels. Through all of it, you'll hear funky hip-hop music by the Danish band Analogik.
The draw-your-own-solution mechanism is similar to the award-winning Crayon Physic Deluxe puzzle game. But unlike that game, which was just a series of puzzles, this game has a simple story to keep you motivated. This is not just a puzzle game; it is also a 2-D, side-scrolling game in which Max must jump up on a series of floating platforms. This platform-jumping can get a little tricky, which is why it is best for kids ages 8 and up.
For kids who want to give creating their own game level a try, the game provides a playground mode. But without any help, kids have to be pretty self-motivated.
Max & the Magic Marker is a perfect blend of platform-puzzling and creativity. When kids draw things inside the game, they become invested in the experience. They aren't just playing the game, they are creating it. Don't miss this one.

Balloon pilot killed in Ga., passengers are safe
Troy Bradley, president of the Balloon Federation of America, said that with the growing sophistication of radar technology and the wealth of radar data now available, ballooning accidents involving storms are rare. But sudden weather changes occasionally catch pilots aloft, he said.
Eaton, who has jumped from planes, helicopters and the occasional hot air balloon, said he knows enough about skydiving to recognize when he shouldn't go up. And Friday, he said, wasn't one of those days.
"We never saw it coming," he said. "We had blue skies all day. There was no issue. If there was an issue about the winds, I wouldn't have jumped. It's just not worth it."
On his way down, Valdez said, he felt helpless as he watched the outline of Ristaino's balloon fade into a storm cloud.
"He put us before he put his own safety," Valdez said.
Breen reported from Raleigh, N.C. Associated Press writers Greg Bluestein and Norman Gomlak in Atlanta contributed to this report.

A change of venue resulted in a lovely result for Sean Leverett, well done Sean! Here's how it happened:
'I'd been concentrating on a large low stock non publicity pit for most of the spring but this week I just fancied a break from the place so decided to have a look over on Bayeswater, a lake i'd had a ticket on for some time but was still yet to ever fish.
I arrived at the lake mid morning on Monday and on walking round i saw a few fish showing just off the end of a strong south westerly that was blowing. I was tempted to fish this area but decided to continue to have a good look.
While looking, out the corner of my eye I was sure I noticed a fish show tight to the bank on the back of the wind. As I started to look properly at the area it soon became apparent that there was actually a few fish present as over the next 30 minutes I saw a further 8 shows, all on the back of the wind in the calmer water.
I decided to set up in this area and after a short while i'd found a couple of nice spots close in up against a small weed bed in the slightly shallower water. I then walked a rod down my right margin and flicked a rod out to where i'd seen the first fish show, tight to the bank. All rods were set up on multi rigs constructed using the new prototype ESP Tungsten hooklink material in 25lb along with the prototype Stiff rigger hook in size five.
Ejector lead lead clips and flexi anchor tube completed the set up. Mainline was the 18lb XT Loaded. All rods had home made cork ball pop-ups on and all were baited with a kilo of a home made spicy red fishmeal.
With the rods out and baited i set up the rest of my kit and continued to watch the fish roll. Just on 8pm and within just a few hours of getting the rods out I had a take on the margin rod and after a short but hard margin battle i netted what I could see was a decent sized fish. It turned out to be a fish known as The Equals Linear, a fish that only a couple of hours earlier I spoke about to a couple of the other members and said it was one i'd love to have!
At 37lb 10oz it was a healthy weight too and with a few pictures taken the Linear was slipped back to her home. That turned out to be my only carp of my 48hr trip but it seemed the tench like my bait too as I had a couple of them on my 2nd morning. All in all it was a nice way to open my account on a lake I'd never fished'.

Entering third polio-free year, India must destroy all wild poliovirus lab samples by December
Having successfully completed two polio-free years, India is preparing to receive the crucial polio eradication certificate from the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The certificate is issued on completion of incident-free three years. This primarily involves the destruction or safe storage of all laboratory sources of wild poliovirus. The storage should be in laboratories that meet international standards of biosafety.
To achieve this, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has set up a National Task Force for Containment of Wild Poliovirus. Chaired by the Director-General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), it will identify laboratories that could store wild poliovirus or potentially infectious material.
Wild poliovirus could be present in certain types of clinical samples stored at or below minus 20 degrees Celsius. These could have been collected for investigations not related to wild poliovirus detections. There are several medical colleges/universities, colleges and research institutions that work on infectious material and, therefore, have clinical samples collected over several decades. Information from these institutions will be collected and compiled for preparing a national inventory.
The process has to be completed by December and failure to do so will delay the certification process. Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth has personally written to the Chief Secretaries of State governments on behalf of the Health Ministry, seeking their cooperation in taking the process forward with a sense of extreme urgency. A pre-tested form has been sent to all laboratories and institutions to elicit information on wild poliovirus.
The WHO's Global Action Plan for containment of wild polioviruses advises that when polio cases are decreasing, national health authorities must alert laboratories, encourage destruction of all unneeded wild poliovirus material and compile an inventory of all laboratories retaining such materials.

Perfect for honeymoon, romantic holiday, one person retreat CONCH SHELL COTTAGE is located on a secluded white coral sand beach with the privacy of a picket fence draped in flowering bushes and palms and acres of beach yet without being too isolated since the small 4 star Nisbet Plantation Resort and its bar and restaurants and spa is beach foot steps away. The interior, in Caribbean style vaulted ceiling, is bright, inviting and charming with original art by local artists, is immaculately clean and very well maintained. The screened-in porch has a table, chairs, hammock while the patio has comfortable chaise lounge chairs for sunning, relaxing and reading. You can see the beach and hear the waves curling over the pristine reefs and enjoy the magnificent clear evening sky with moonlight and incredibly bright stars. You will be met at airport or ferry and brought to the cottage FREE OF CHARGE. A caretaker will be available.
Why we have so many repeat guests: Conch Shell Cottage is in the best location on Nevis, on a beautiful white coral sand beach near pristine coral reefs and privately hidden by palms and tropical flowering bushes, yet close to a small upscale resort and its bar and restaurants.
Guests mention how incredible the staff is and how welcome they feel. Marlon, tall and smiling, will greet you at the airport or wherever your boat lands on Nevis. He will transport you to the cottage and happily answer your questions on the way. Then Bonnie, the caretaker, will greet you, give you an orientation to the cottage and island, and be available if you have any questions during your stay. Jeannette, the maid, has carefully cleaned the cottage for you. Henry, the gardener, has created a beautiful garden for you and will try to give you fresh fruit that he has grown. Pre arrival, I will send you info on special car rental, restaurants, things to see and do, airline info, etc.
thank you from R+S biology profs, PA: Jane, we certainly enjoyed CONCH SHELL COTTAGE. The major plus is its seclusion, the porch for reading/lounging and the chaise lounge chairs on the patio with the view/sound to the ocean/waves. We are happy to recommend CONCH SHELL COTTAGE for a honeymoon or any holiday. CONCH SHELL is a vaulted ceiling, one room cottage with attached screened-in porch and outside patio. There is a kitchenette area, a nice sized closet, separate bathroom with shower and a desk/vanity area. Jane has equipped the cottage with all the possible items that you might need/want from dish soap to wine glasses. There is a TV that helped us keep up to date with the news, too! We kept the large window and door to the screened-in porch open so we could see the ocean and hear the waves hit the beach from the large comfortable bed. We particularly enjoyed the porch because it is ideal for reading, eating and/or relaxing. There is a small patio outside the porch with great chaises lounge chairs facing the ocean view.
How our repeat guests found Conch Shell / Nevis: Until recently we only advertised our luxury 1 or 2 bedroom CORAL REEF VILLA (HomeAway #187350 or #216701) which is privately located on almost an acre of spectacular mature gardens nearby. It is so popular that guests who wanted extra days stayed also at CONCH SHELL and often wanted to return to both places. Others discovered CORAL REEF/CONCH when they had stayed at resorts or other villas on Nevis, and after exploring, decided the Nisbet Beach location was the most beautiful, convenient (with the small resort beach side facilities), secluded enough and yet without being too isolated. Other guests had been on other islands and when they visited Nevis decided that the Nisbet area was where they wanted to stay. Nevisians are known for their friendly smiles and welcome to visitors. Nevis is special with only about 10,000 people, no high rise buildings (nothing taller than a palm tree allowed), no large cruise ships, no gambling.
Exactly what we were hoping for, clean, cosy and comfy.
I thought I already wrote a review. What can I say? It's the perfect place to get away and relax and recharge. Everyone is so friendly....especially the "landlady" and her husband.....Love you two and I can't wait to see you this summer in Chester!
What can I say? It's tiny....perfect for one (a little tight for two but, for a cuddly couple it should be fine). Falling asleep and waking up to the breeze and the sound of the waves. The beach, Nisbet right next door for meals and cocktails....and the wonderful people there. The "landlady" who has become a good and cherished friend......I've already reserved for next year.
With March trade winds of 83 daily/81 at night, get the EARLIEST flight out for MORE pristine beach time!
My first solo internat'l trip & what an amazing week I had! The pictures dont begin to do it justice.
Jane coordinating her team of meet/greet & delivery to the cottage was seamless,precise and the ultimate relaxation. My vacation BEGAN the min I walked thru customs door to meet Daisy,Marlon- very professional,friendly and willing to share the islands ' best of the locals information!
Bonnie (prop mgr) was helpful with trip to local grocery.(I didn't rent a car. ) First time visitors I would suggest it thru Marlon..also his tour leaves nothing lacking!
The cottage was very comfortable,CLEAN and so SAFE for a solo traveler.Mattress and linens extremely clean & comfortable. Beach towels provided. Lanai provided lovely ocean views.Kitchen was w/ apt size GAS stove, small refrig,coffee maker,microwave & had any needed food prep equipment. Emergency flashlites were there if needed... I experienced NO power outtage.
Nothing was lacking. Again very well maintained.NO BUGS!,,,,, None! ( ok Jane how do you do that?)
Reading materials/ maps/pamphlets/internet are available. I was able to skype my arrival. Tv - for checking GMA weather of 29 -34 degrees daily high back home was turned off as I headed out to snorkel ! So this is what retirement is!!!!! Everyday was a new adventure!
Jane & Ron's gardens are a horticulturalist dream! Their gardener is so talented!
I loved the front surfside views but the view of Mt Nevis with popcorn clouds was equally mesmorizing!
Saw sheep,goats,monkeys,cows, doopy & ghost crabs,hummingbirds.....
The stars @ night- spectacular!
Nisbet plantation (4 star) so close was my backup resort. The BBQ on Thurs w dancing on deck FUN! Sun afternoon is steel drum music. Setup account there at begin of wk,
you can have a cocktail after beach swimming /snorkeling or breakfast/lunch @ their beachfront cafe. No need to carry wallet daily. Close out at end...
Bananas(restaurant) midway up mt Nevis is fabulous! A must do! Tell Jillian -owner Hi! A must do !
I was last to Nevis 18 yrs previous.
This is an island that has maintained its pristine Caribbean quality! The Nevisians are the most friendly people. If you want unspoiled tropical experience, this is the best you can get!
Jane & Ron thank you for such a wonderful safe tropical experience! Now I know why they say:
never leave us - Nevis
Released all the tension, relaxed in the breezes, and related to the kind people of Nevis. That's exactly what I did. Jane, I had a great time in Nevis. The cottage has the perfect location on the beach with wonderful views and near the main road for quick trips to other parts of the island. The cottage had everything I needed including cool breezes and privacy. Thank you for all your assistance. The logistics were so easy thanks to you. Daisy and Solomon made me feel extra special to and from the airport. Marlon is fabulous. He was part car rental agent, part tour guide, and a whole lot of big brother. The water taxi gentlemen were just that, gentlemen. I did not lift a finger or bag. Bonnie was there when I needed her and her enthusiasm for her island was evident. Jeanette was an angel – in and out before you could shake a stick – the epitome of professional. The staff at Nesbit Plantation was so gracious (that needs to be conveyed to the owners/managers there). The Thursday night party/BBQ was so much fun. But the people of Nevis were so warm and caring and gracious, I felt at home. I know that you know this about these folks, but I wanted to let you know how great I think they are as well, and how much they were a part of my wonderful vacation. Now all my co-workers want to visit Nevis. I told them "NO!" they can't visit – it's my island. I look forward to my next visit.
My best friend and I spent one week at this cottage, and I knew I had to write a review on it as soon as I got back. The Conch Shell Cottage is located right near the beach with private access to the beach right from the cottage. The place is very well kept with twice a week cleaning and laundry, and was equipped with everything necessary for my stay. It's quiet, scenic, and has an amazing breeze that can be felt at all hours. Internet and cable tv worked perfectly, and we didn't experience any power outages. The owner, Jane Paul, is very kind, informative, and professional. From landing in St. Kitts to getting in at Nevis, everything was flawless. We ate at the Nesbit plantation most of the time ( a short walk), and enjoyed the food and dancing at the Thursday Night BBQ. We will definitely return to this sweet little oasis in the future! Thank you, Jane!
Nisbet Beach area is away from the hustle and bustle of any town and it's always with a happy feeling of homecoming to return to our special spectacular ocean views and refreshing breeze. The trade wind breezes are a special blessing in the Caribbean where they almost constantly blow and have a cooling effect which off sets the average temperature in Nevis which is usually in the low to mid 80's. The trade winds keep the palm fronds rustling and swaying and are a soothing feature, especially on our side of Nevis which is in the perfect location to get the maximum benefit from the trade winds coming from the North East. No need for anything other than quality ceiling fan and a dip in the sea where the temperature stays about 82 degrees.

Dear editor,
As parents of a daughter who has lived at SWVTC for 16 years, we understand the confusion and anger expressed by other families who attended the Feb. 9th meeting with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. This settlement decision between The Governor and The Department of Justice will close four of the five Training Centers, including SWVTC!
The settlement agreement between the DBHDS and The Department of Justice was based on The Supreme Court's decision in the Olmstead Case to encourage "community integration." DOJ findings were that residents in Training Centers are "isolated and rarely allowed to interact with people who are not disabled." This statement is false! Ask the hundreds of community volunteers who spend time with residents. Also, Amber eats out in restaurants, goes swimming twice a month, goes shopping, and attends community events.
According to a DBHD spokesman, the State will establish "5-6 bed intermediate care group homes, which are similar to the services now provided at the Training Centers." There are approximately 1,000 severely disabled individuals in these facilities. Let's do the math: 1,000 divided by 5 is 200 new group homes. Taxpayers would bear the increased costs to duplicate what is already available.
Equipment is another issue that is not being addressed. Our daughter shares specialized bathtub, transfer lift, computer, walker, and dozens of adaptive physical management devices. What about specialized transportation issues? Therapy? Doctor? Dentist? Not only should residents' families ask these questions, but so should the public!
The Governor made his decision without resident/family/guardian involvement, or a campus investigation. While the General Assembly is still in session, it is urgent that we voice our opposition to the closing! Please contact delegates, especially Gov. McDonnell, and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Urge them to reconsider this flawed plan! Join with us in writing letters, sending email, and making phone calls. Together, we can make a difference for these special individuals at SWVTC who cannot speak for themselves.
Wade & Wanda Robinson, Woodlawn

|This Tomb Raider and all the talk of Uncharted, makes me want to play the series again.
StaffyDog wrote:The first game has aged horribly. Avoid.
The second and third game still have some legs. Actually, just the second one.
I kind of wish that they'd had way fewer enemies but made them all much more of a threat- e.g one or two hit kills and much slower health regeneration, meaning that you have to rely on stealth a lot more. I don't buy that this version of Lara can slaughter hundreds of mercenaries, so doing it that way would draw me in more.
Also I like that it's a bit metroidvania-ish but wish they'd gone even further in that direction with back tracking and exploring- or made it fully open world (albeit with some areas blocked off/still requiring certain gear) and made it more of a survival game where you actually need to hunt for food and stuff.
I'm still enjoying the game that I got though.
|I'm currently playing the first one. It's good but there are some awkward moments, platforming can be a pain and there are a lot of difficulty spikes and instant deaths. Still, it's good.
I remember the sense of scale in the first game blew me away.
You really got vertigo from the massive caverns etc.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world - Ghandi
It's pretty much fact that Uncharted is excellent in terms of it's voicework, acting and cutscenes, along with graphics, polish and set pieces.
You don't have to like to like it, but in comparison to the rest of the medium it is highly regarded. If you can't grasp that it's on you.
It's like saying WoW is a shit MMO. You don't have to like the game to recognise it's status amongst MMOs.
edit: this wasn't aimed at DDB, that was just awkward timing on the post.
Edited by Derblington at 13:44:57 10-03-2013
|Still opinion, just that there are more respected and qualified ones. Doesn't stop it being a subjective topic.
I disagree. I can say WoW is wank if I don't like it. It's not a fact that it nor Uncharted are excellent games, that's an opinion. The fact that its highly regarded is a fact. The point of whether it's good or not is subjective and therefore opinion. Fair enough it's well put together, but I still disliked it.
I never said Uncharted wasn't highly regarded or was more unliked than liked.

|I wouldn't know tbh, I fuck the cutscenes off tbh; they bore me .
Got this yesterday and played until 2am, then this morning got up and played another few hours.
It is rather good, and I was right to discard the EG review as wank.
Anyway, my thoughts so far...
It is Tomb Uncharted. Which, given Uncharted 2 is my game of the generation, is a great thing.
It looks fantastic.
I like the characters.
Gameplay is good.
However... despite this being a 9/10 game so far I feel it isn't really Tomb Raider. Every time I hit a tomb and the game starts including puzzles I get all nostalgic and get tempted to load up Tomb Raider Anniversary or Underworld to get some puzzle action.
So conflicted. A fantastic game, but it really is the demise of classic Tomb Raider and I would like to see more of the old style puzzle ones.
khaz wrote:Does she really do a lot of headshots in cutscenes? I'm mostly in control when she does. If you want realism you could shoot them in other bodyparts I guess, or even better, get offed by the first enemy you encounter. Lara's hardly the first videogame character beating impossible odds.
Umm, that's what I meant.
On the one hand she spends most of the "story" being this vulnerable thing but then you proceed to headshot scores of baddies without a second thought and you get another cutscene where she's still debating her hardiness.
It has nothing to do with realism. It's a story and setting which aren't supported in the slightest with the mechanics of the game. They're contrarian for the most part.
Edited by khaz at 17:33:32 10-03-2013
She does shout 'leave me alone' before she proceeds to fire at the first lot of enemies she fights. And they are trying to kill her all the time.
What do you expect her to do?

Fucking brilliant game. It's the second week of March and between this, DmC and Ni No Kuni, probably the best start to a year in gaming I can remember. Astonishing stuff, well done Crystal Dynamics.

khaz wrote:We must be playing different games. In my game, she starts as a vulnerable young girl, but over the course of the game she matures into a strong, if inexperienced, leader responsible not only for her life but the lives of her colleagues. Where I'm up to I don't think "vulnerable thing" would be an accurate description of Lara Croft in or out of cutscenes.
Follow me on Twitter: @MrTom
This khaz guy loves to moan. I think he's the one who called Ac3 "one of the worst games of all time".
Edited by Syrette at 17:42:24 10-03-2013
Daddy-Doom-Bar wrote:Not have her portrayed as a vulnerable and soft individual who's afraid of getting her hands dirty when she's clearly nothing of the sort.
I don't see why the story couldn't simply have had Lara realising her situation is insane and the only way out is to get stuck in with maniacs. It would certainly feel a lot more plausible with her move set and skills.
Ultimately, this is all speculation and I'll wait for the inevitable sequel to see where they take Lara but for now I've given upon the game. Might come back to it in short bursts over the next few months.
Syrette wrote:I see your flippancy and irritating factor travels across threads. I called it the worst of the AC games. Especially after the excellent second game and Brotherhood. Revelation and 3 were bloaty disappointments.
|Her character definitely evolves, though it happens entirely too quickly. Regardless of how emotionally/mentally strong or even ruthless she becomes though I still don't buy that she would be the unstoppable force that she actually is during gameplay and it's annoying because imo she doesn't need to be an unstoppable force, they just needed to tone down the number of enemies but make them tougher/Lara weaker.
