What is wrong with the new, swanky international airports all over the country? None of them seems to satisfy anyone. In Delhi, heavy showers flood the T3 and in Kolkata the toilets are a mess and signage is a disaster.
But Mumbai's brand new terminal takes the cake. Mosquitoes are making life hell for passengers catching night flights at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport's T2, diluting their admiration for the state-of-the-art terminal built at a cost of over Rs5,500 crore.
Hetal Avlani, a passenger who recently travelled through the airport on early morning of Monday tweeted, "Dear CSIA, please do something about the mosquito problem. They are the only things that you have carried over from the old airport."
The airport administration on its part claims that the new terminal has most environment friendly and clean terminal buildings and operations which can be matched with the international standards.
"We are already working to mitigate the problem," said an airport official. However, a spokesperson for the airport said, "We have taken all the possible steps to keep the mosquito problems under check. Fumigation is regularly done and all the nullahs (drains) have been covered, among other things."
UK-based Raitess Rai, in her comment on well-known air travelling quality portal Skytrax, writes: "Very disappointed. Stunning building - experience completely ruined by mosquitoes and dreadful queue management." Manzar Sayed, an IT professional and a frequent flier to US and Europe agrees: "The mosquitoes are still a nuisance, though the swanky airport terminal building is a treat to the eyes and is comfortable."
Frequent travellers and airport staff say mosquitoes have been a problem at the airport for a long time. Tourism industry sources say that for international passengers, mosquitoes are the memory that they carry of Mumbai airport, and not the swanky building. The huge piles of garbage at slums surrounding the airport and debris due to construction work have been the source of mosquito breeding near CSIA.
Incredible India indeed!

research mission
Developing human-computer interfaces that fully exploit the information content available in non-verbal human behaviour is challenging, particularly in unconstrained daily life settings. Key challenges are 1) to develop sensing systems that robustly and accurately capture non-verbal human behaviour in ever-changing conditions, 2) to develop computational methods for automatic analysis and modelling that are able to cope with the large variability in human behaviour, and 3) to use the information extracted from such behaviour to develop novel human-computer interfaces that are highly interactive, multimodal and modelled after natural human-to-human interactions.
Our group works at the interface of human-computer interaction, computer vision, wearable computing, and eye tracking. We develop novel sensing systems and computational methods to analyse non-verbal human behaviour automatically using ambient and on-body sensors. We specifically focus on visual and physical behaviour as we believe that these modalities are most promising for developing interfaces that offer human-like perceptual and interaction capabilities. We study the systems and methods that we develop in the context of specific application domains, most importantly pervasive eye-based human-computer interfaces and computational behaviour analysis.

The biography of Abbas Ibn al-Ahnaf. This page has biographical information on Abbas Ibn al-Ahnaf, one of the best poets of all time. This PoetrySoup page also provides access to the poet's poems, best poetry, quotes, and video biographies...if available.
Abu al-Fadl Abbas Ibn al-Ahnaf, (750 in Basra -809), Arabic, , was an Arab Abbasid poet from the clan of Hanifa. His work consists solely of love poems (ghazal ). It is "primarily concerned with the hopelessness of love, and the perosna in his compositions seems resigned to a relationship of deprivation". The vocabulary he chose was simple and his style is fluent and easy.
Sorry, no poems have been posted.

Shannon, who has a history of being a sexually open swinger, has since worked for Brazzers, Girlfriend Films, Mofos and Wicked. Since taking the official plunge into the adult industry the blonde tattooed vixen has appeared on several podcasts and Sirius XM Shows, most recently appearing on Shade 45s Show Off Radio and Sway in the Morning, Covino and Richs annual "Dude-Bro Fest," recorded in front of a live audience, Glen Kings Sex Pro Adventures and Sam Tripolis the Naughty Show.

Sarkozy calls for international intervention in Syria
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has kept a notably low profile since he was defeated by Francois Hollande in May, but seems to be returning to public life with a call today for international intervention in Syria:
Breaking a long silence since losing May's presidential election to Socialist Francois Hollande, Sarkozy said he had spoken at length to Syrian opposition leader Abdulbaset Sieda this week and they agreed on the need for foreign intervention in the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"They noted a total convergence in their views on the seriousness of the Syrian crisis as well as the need for rapid action by the international community to avoid massacres, " said the statement signed by Sarkozy and Sieda, who is president of the Istanbul-based Syrian National Council. " They agreed that there are great similarities with the Libyan crisis," said the statement.
Sarkozy's statement comes just a few days after philospher and fellow Libya intervention-booster Bernard-Henri Levy blasted Hollande over Syria in an interview with Reuters:
"Of course I am disappointed by Hollande. I voted for him," Levy said. "Facing what might be the biggest historical, political and moral test of his mandate, this inertia, this flurry of words is not acceptable."
Sarkozy was, of course, a late convert to humanitarian interventionism, spurred in part by advocacy from Levy. It seems a little strange that Levy would have ever supported Hollande given his influence over the former president last year.
It seems pretty unlikely that any of this advocacy will push Hollande's government to do anything more than urging further action at the Security Council.

The Toxicity Relationship Analysis Program (TRAP) fits a symmetric, sigmoidal effects versus exposure relationship to toxicity test data. It will analyze binary (e.g., survival) or continuous (e.g., growth) biological effect variables as a function of any one-dimensional exposure variable. It will provide both best estimates and confidence limits for the parameters of the relationship and for the values of the exposure variable eliciting user-specified levels of effect. A Windows user interface provides for (a) entering data manually, from ASCII data files, and by copying from other software, (b) specifying options for the analysis and observing results, and (c) printing results and exporting them to other software. The program is a single executable file compatible with any Windows version and is accompanied by a help file containing operating instructions and information on the nature and performance of this analysis methodology.
TRAP version 1.30 (2.0 MB zip file) includes: "TRAP1.30About.pdf" with installation and other general information about TRAP, "TRAP1.30Help.pdf" containing the program documentation, the TRAP program "TRAP1.30.exe", and two example datafiles to check program operation.

MULTIROTOR Service Drone
Yet again SCCS are recognising technological developments in survey instrumentation. The need to remove your staff from hazardous areas, whilst improving productivity and accuracy are hot topics within the surveying and construction world, and what better way to do this than with UAV technology.
SCCS recently signed a distributor agreement with service-drone, giving SCCS the sole rights to distribute their products within the U.K. Service Drone are an innovative forward thinking company based in Germany. Their products allow for either autonomous or manual flight controls using in-house flight software.
The main advantages to flying this "copter" is that it allows for vertical take-off and landing and also allows you to take "static" imagery from a hovering position. (Held in position using on board GPS that navigates the flight-robot to an exact position in the air updating 512 times per second) The "Surveying Robot" enables a hardly conceivable measurement result of up to 1 mm ground resolution and equally unique flight stability at wind strengths of 10-15 meter per second.
Whilst in Germany, the SCCS team were lucky enough to witness a local company survey an aggregates quarry, which measured 12.0 Ha in area and was approximately 60m deep. This was conventionally surveyed with Leica GNSS receivers (Network RTK), taking the three company surveyors two days to complete the site work. The MULTIROTOR flight planning took 15mins in the office, the actual flight time was approx. 30mins and the final processing took approximately 3-4 hrs. The resulting end products/deliverables included a point cloud, decimated 3D triangulated DXF, a Google Earth Model KMZ file and an Orthophoto.
The system has many applications including bulk earthworks projects involving volumetric, progress surveys, topographic surveys of large areas and inspection surveys. On a basic level service drone provides a pictorial representation of site condition, and can be used to inspect Infrastructure which would normally need specialist manpower/equipment.

The Departed was real, after all.
In 2006, Jack Nicholson starred as a sinister crime boss in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning flick about the seamy world of Boston's Irish mob — a world cold-blooded killer James "Whitey" Bulger ruled for decades.
Now, the real-life crime lord who inspired Nicholson's role has admitted that the movie's plot was far from fiction.
PHOTOS: Check Out Whitey's Massive Stash
Bulger, in his own words, "corrupted" several FBI agents during his decades-long reign of terror on the streets of Massachusetts, funneling the rats in the feds' ranks cash in exchange for information on the department's investigations into his feared Winter Hill Gang.
The convicted killer, 83, made the shocking admission in his first-ever letter from prison after his August 12 conviction, provided exclusively by RadarOnline.com.
Bulger faced 32 counts during his trial, but he told a pen pal the main reason the feds were so intent to see him locked up behind bars for life was "for corrupting two FBI agents" — who he boasted "were my 'Paid FBI Informants.'"
Throughout the course of the trial, he said, the government was especially intent on revealing his clandestine relationship with disgraced FBI double agent John Connolly, who he referred to as "J.Co" in the missive.
Bulger wrote, "In trial, (the) theme was Bulger got information from J.Co about pay me and who talking and Bulger would kill they… they gave examples — I'm quoting the prosecutor!"
PHOTOS: Celebs Involved In Murder
In 2002, Connolly was sentenced to 10 years in jail for racketeering and obstruction of justice charges stemming from his relationship with Bulger. He is currently incarcerated in a Florida state prison on a second degree murder conviction.
Explaining how he got his sources to work with him, Bulger wrote that, just like Matt Damon's character in the Oscar-winning film, crooked Connolly was "from the projects and soon on the pay roll."
"I bought information, never gave any — and in time met the boss of the Organized Crime Squad — he took dollars," Bulger wrote to a friend in the letter.
He explained the cocktail that kept his tipsters tied to him: "Money corrupted people who drink, gamble etc. It takes dollars to live that way and it's addictive."
But in the end, it was Bulger, not his informants, who were being played.
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Done Jail Time
Bulger wrote that the same informants had been getting information from their own sources in Winter Hill Gang ranks, including Southie hit man Steve "The Rifleman" Flemmi, a hit-man notorious for pulling murder victims' teeth so they couldn't be identified.
"I was never aware that these agents were getting info from Steve since 1960!" Bulger revealed in the letter, postmarked from Inmate No. 1428AZ – his jail identification number when he was once an inmate at Alcatraz.
"I didn't get out of prison until 1965."
He later revealed even more of the agents' double-dealing.
"These two were clever guys," Bulger admitted. "Unknown to me, they faked a file to cover themselves incase (they were) seen in my company or loose lips on the phone that may compromise them."
PHOTOS: The Most Intriguing Cold Cases In History
He said the files also got the crooked agents "bonuses, prestige and career enhancement."
"Never aware until I get here (arrested after a 16-year manhunt) and my lawyer get the info on discovery," he wrote. "Shock to me."
Even though Bulger felt the sting of being double-crossed, even from prison, he insisted that he came out on top, despite his conviction, because he forced prosecutors to admit the FBI's history of double-dealing during the trial.
"Feel we did a good job on cross of feds to show they falsified the file," he wrote. "Long story and would take (more) paper to explain."
Perhaps most shockingly, the man who insisted during the trial that he was "not (a) f***ing informant" is now thinking of writing his own mob memoirs — a narrative that could be even more intriguing than the plot of any Hollywood movie.
PHOTOS: Most Notorious American Murder Trials
"Maybe at a later date you will read it in a book," he wrote to his pen pal, noting it would be "a book based on truth for a change."
Indeed, according to some reports, federal agents found drafts of his autobiography during previous searches.
Bulger will be sentenced on 31 counts in November.
Until then, he's in solitary confinement at the Plymouth County House of Corrections in in Plymouth, Mass.

Q: My husband will not quit spending. He has purchased several vehicles, only to trade them in for less than we owed on them. During our 18-year marriage, we have refinanced our house six times to pay off loans and credit cards. When we refinanced this last time, I refused to pay any of his credit cards or loans off. I would not have even considered refinancing again, but the low rates were appealing. That was 21/2 years ago. I …

It's a question lots of people have about Social Security: Do you get back as much as you put in? But this question only gets at part of the story: Social Security is a kind of insurance, not just an investment. It protects you and your family from things nobody wants to think about — death and disability. In other words, it contributes to well being and peace of mind in ways that may be impossible to measure. A few …

Call it generational rebellion at its finest: It seems all the gloomy retirement forecasting for boomers has been inspiring their kids to save more. Workers in Gen X and Gen Y are both starting retirement savings earlier and more likely to make automatic contributions than members of the boomer generation, according to a new survey.
AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that helps people 50 and older improve the quality of their lives.

The World Boxing Council has already obtained the approval of the insurance company to pay the WBC life insurance (approximately $ 325,000 pesos), amount that will be given to the family of Marco Nazareth. The WBC has a life and hospitalization insurance for $ 200,000 USD for all its world title fights (covering champion and challenger) also covering all the boxers who take part in such a card. Despite the fact that the bout between Omar Chavez and Marco Nazareth did not correspond to the WBC sanctioning, it was part of the card in which Tomas The Worm Rojas won the WBC Superflyweight interim world championship by defeating Everardo Morales, and consequently Marco Nazareth and all the fighters who took part in the card were entitled to such life insurance..
The previously mentioned amount will be given in about 3 weeks, once the required documents are submitted; such documents will be provided by promoter Fernando Beltran.
The WBC, under the deep sorrow circumstances, feels very proud of the fact that through its rules and policies, we are able to at least financially aid the family of the late boxer.

Amouage - Homage Attar
Though I personally think this fragrance transcends both those terms.
I am talking so fresh & so clean it makes you feel like singing this!
Amouage - Homage Attar
Though I personally think this fragrance transcends both those terms.
You know, this is kinda tough....but probably I'd have to say Armani Code Sport Athlete. Although I could see 2008 Dior homme sport right in there also.
My SOTD, actually: L'Humaniste. Very fresh, citrusy, and clean - it reminds me of this old commercial in a way:
"It always seems impossible until it's done." -Nelson Mandela
My mission statement: "I am not afraid to keep on living - I am not afraid to walk this world alone."
Hard to choose, but for me probably Siecle.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
Original Vetiver
Was first thinking Xerjoff Nio, or MFK Acqua Universalis, but I think I have to give it to Creed Pure White Cologne.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. Xerjoff - Fars
5. Dior - Vetiver
6. Creed - Green Valley
7. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
10. Creed - Royal Scottish Lavender
Basenotes sales: Many collectible/discontinued CREEDs (Vintage Tabarome, Citrus Bigarrade, Selection Verte), Helmut Lang Cuiron, Bond No. 9 Hamptons, Heeley Oranges & Lemons, L'Essence de Cerruti, numerous popular SAMPLES! http://www.basenotes.net/threads/340...EELEY-SAMPLES!
Offsite sales: CREED WINDSOR, Vintage Tabarome, Selection Verte, Citrus Bigarrade), Tom Ford Noir de Noir, By Kilian Prelude to Love, Helmut Lang Cuiron, Bond No. 9 Hamptons, Heeley Oranges & Lemons, L'Essence de Cerruti, numerous popular SAMPLES! http://flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?t=260 and http://flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?t=626
L'Humaniste by Frapin or Amouage Reflection Man.

2.) Vetiver Fatal
3.) Bel Ami Vetiver
4.) LampBlack
5.) Frank No. 2 L.A.
6.) Cartier Declaration Essence
7.) Frederick Malle's VE/Sycomore
8.) Xerjoff Nio
9.) Byredo Bal D'Afrique
10.) Bond no. 9 Scent of Peace
Probably L'Humaniste or Pure White Cologne. I'm also partial to Neroli Portofino.
Been using Dove original clean body wash and underarm deodorant for years and still haven't found anything as fresh and clean in a cologne.
If I did, I think I would get rid of more than half my collection as that would be the closest thing to a "holy grail" for me.
Dior Vetiver
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
I like Mugler Cologne.
Mugler Cologne
Neroli Portofino
Original Vetiver
Several vetivers floating by, and I agree. The freshest, zingiest vetiver to me is Malle Vetiver extraordinaire.
Tommy T - whatever shirt I wear, this makes it seem ultra fresh and newly ironed.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport. Fresh-out-of-the-shower smell all day long.
I second (or third?) Creed's Pure White Cologne, but in my experience, especially on a hot day, nothing is more fresh and clean than Acqua di Parma Colonia and Colonia Essenza.
MFK's Absolue pour le Matin - Prada's Infusion d'Homme on steroids.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Grigio Perla uomo, also a bang for the buck!
........................................nothing is real, all is possible.........................................
Cartier Declaration 'Cologne' among many others.
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Annick Goutal: Ambre Fetiche
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa Oud
- Knize Ten
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- YSL: Kouros (Fraicheur)
Another for Mugler Cologne
Well, it's cheaper than therapy... edit: No it's not...
Creed OV, Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco, Boss Elements Aqua, most of the Prada Infusions, most of the less musky, less floral and less spicy EDC- from mass market to niche, GPH II, most of the Kenzo aquatics, especially PH and L'Eau PH, among others.
Molecule 01. ..fresh as it gets
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
- Benjamin Franklin
This. My SOTD for today.
Eau de Rochas Homme
And Echo by Davidoff! I really feel so fresh and clean when I'm wearing this, it's to the point that I never wear Echo the days that I have not shaved!
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Gv, paph, ov
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "

Homeboy, if your talking so fresh, and so clean. You cant use just one. You gotta casually RIDE with that Gucci Envy, spray overload wit that vintage (pre-1994) Dolce Gabbana Pour Homme, with a just a light coat of that armani sport code athlete if its summatime.
Only do this if you have enough $$ to get a cane and a fancy gimp suit though....too fresh, too clean
Dior Homme Sport 2008
Prada Infusion d'Homme
Pen's Blenheim Bouquet.
For me it's Gendarme. I consider it a "fresh out of the shower" type of clean scent.
Top 5: MPG Santal Noble, Gendarme, Knize Ten, Jaipur Homme, Le Male
teflondog's Reviews
Bulgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc.
Green Irish Tweed does this for me.
That I have knowingly smelled, Penhaligon's Castile, Gendarme and to a slightly lesser degree Yachtman Blue and Sung Homme I have smelled some VERY fresh clean scents on people but I am not sure what they are, perhaps some of the ones mentioned by others.
For me it'll be Aqua de gio
Nexus 5
When I walk outside with my new sample of Balafre, I sing Zippidy Doo Da and magical cartoon birds appear on my shoulder lol
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Eau de Rochas Pour Homme, Lacoste by Lacoste and Grey Vetiver +1.
To be quite honest? It was this old Abercrombie & Fitch I had when I first started getting into fragrances (back near my join date). And it was so clean, light, and fresh that it was my go-to cologne to wear for interviews. The bottle is long gone, unfortunately.
Current top 5:
1) MDCI Invasion Barbare
2) Imaginary Authors The Cobra and The Canary
3) Guerlain Vetiver
4) Parfums de Nicolai: New York
5) A*Men: Pure Havane
Boots Freshwood
He boiled for our sins.
Eau de Rochas
Eau de Rochas pour Homme
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
Pre 2013 GIT is the epitome of fresh,clean fragrance.
Nio, Jardin du poete and neroli portofino comes to mind.

Tauer's re-released Cologne du Maghreb is getting a lot of praise in that regard. My sample is on the way and i shall see if it lives up to all praising reviews.
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
Dior Homme Cologne (2013)
Onyx Azzaro and Hei.
My top ten, in no particular order:
Eau Des Baux
Hanae Mori HiM
Halston Man Amber
Mugler Pure Havane
24 Gold
L'eau Bleue D'issey Pour Homme
Kenzo Jungle Homme
Terre D'Hermes
Freshest for me - Neroli Portofino
Cleanest - YSL Rive Gauche
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne (big clear 5.0 OZ bottle). As much as I don't like it, Chrome ain't far behind.
Creed Original Veitiver as well.
Freshest would be Kenzo Homme Sport.
Cleanest would be Febreze, probably
Le Labo's Bergamote 22 (is it 22? I can't remember). Also, Allure Homme Sport Cologne. Both total winners.

Each depth gauge comes with its own transducer and a specific length of wire between the unit and the transducer. A shorter or longer length of wire will affect the readings.
Neither the 521 nor the 527 come with any kind of transducer. The best transducer to use with it would be the Garmin/Airmar DST800, which connects via NMEA 2000, and gives depth, speed, and water temperature. I have one myself.
This does require a through-hull fitting, yes. If you can live with just depth, you could probably pot a transducer (no through-hull).
The Lowrance Elite 5 does not have NMEA 2000 which would be tremendously limiting. Personally, I wouldn't buy a plotter without it.
To the OP, you could start with the Garmin plotter and transducer combo, and then you will have an NMEA 2000 network. The expandability is excellent. Extra displays, transducers, autopilot can all be easily added and will share data.

Property Details
Condo, 1 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 4 Sleeps
Escape to "Margaritaville"... A Charming DIRECT Beachfront condo on Manasota Key. (Unit 15C - This is NOT a Peek-a-Boo gulf view)
Along southwest Florida's spectacular sapphire coastline, in the midst of breath taking sugar sand
beaches, sparkling clear waters & world class amenities, there remains a rare jewel. An unspoiled
sanctuary of secluded beaches, caressed by the warm gulf breezes and dazzling sunsets. An island
where the pace of life moves with the rhythm of the tides.
Come and explore Manasota Key.
Our condo is a direct Gulf front unit. We are in the beautiful Castaways Condominiums. The complex
boasts a unique, south seas Tiki Hut design.
Bright, clean & sunny, our condo was recently decorated with a cheerful, "At The Beach" decor. We
have a fantasic covered, open air lanai. Rain or shine, you can relax on the lanai. You'll love your private FRONT ROW seats to spectacular views of the beach. Your spirit will go "ahhh....."
Sunsets are breathtaking and if you are an early riser..... take in the quiet serenity of the
sunrise over Manasota Key.... you, the sea gulls and some dolphins are all that will stir the air at that moment... makes you inspired by the beauty of it all....
We are located within 1 -2 blocks of excellent restaurants, a convenience store, gift shops, pizza shop, & Tiki Bar.
* Additional pictures of the condo will be emailed upon request*

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
My best friend and I stayed in this unit (15C) for five nights in mid July 2011. The condo is truly gulf front with a nice, large covered deck. The deck has four chairs and a big table. The unit is furnished in a fun, "beachy" theme and very clean. The king size bed - SUPER COMFY!! The kitchen is fully stocked and has just about anything you might need and a nice large fridge. There is no dishwasher but that really did not present a problem; we just washed up a few things as we needed. Having a washer and dryer in the unit allowed us to go home with all clean clothes. Bathroom is about the size you would expect in a 1BR and more than enough towels to last our entire stay. Everything turned out perfect for us! It is nice and quiet and excellent shelling.

The game looks phenomenal, and I am enjoying it a lot more than what the reviews say for it. It's SUPER linear though, like it is literally the most linear game I have ever seen.It's essentially a m...
Sounds like I'll give it a pick up after BloodBorne and The Order 1886.
Going for an 8.However I will be pleasantly surprised if it goes above that and damn does the Ps4 need a heavy hitter at this point.
I bought the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Edition 3DS bundle, I love how the finish looks and it comes bundled with the game for not that much more.
Awesome! I just ordered the entire Anime on Blu Ray and it's arriving tomorrow.Talk about great timing.
I don't mind it really. Might end up using the Japanese voices anyways but if they improved upon release I might change my mind.I'm not expecting it to be amazing or even great considering I've lost...
I get this odd nostalgic feeling whenever I see a new uncharted trailer.
It's not awful, it's the best CoD since 4 in my opinion.With that being said, it's still Call of Duty and it's still repetitive after a few matches.
Very excited for this game.
Looking great, is it free to play? and is it a PC exclusive?
I hope they're wrong, because it looks pretty interesting.I'm not expecting it to be phenomenal by any stretch of the imagination, but somewhat enjoyable at least.
I'll pick it up this week for sure. Been looking forward to this game for awhile now and it looks like it definitely delivered.
I'm going with AAAE as it includes Halo 2.One of my favorite games of all time, I haven't beaten Halo 4 yet since I thought it was boring but I will finish it for sure this time around.
I love both games, but Sunset Overdrive is miles better in terms of gameplay.Infamous Second Son got very repetitive, however it is a beautiful game.
