Lingua francas
The two major lingua francas in India are Hindustani and English. Hindustani is based on an early dialect of Hindi, known by linguists as Khari Boli, which originated in Delhi and an adjacent region within the Ganges-Yamuna Doab (interfluve). During the Mughal period (early 16th to mid-18th century), when political power became centred on Delhi, Khari Boli absorbed numerous Persian words and came to be used as a lingua franca throughout the empire, especially by merchants who needed a common commercial language. Hindustani was promoted by the British during the colonial period.
In the 19th century two literary languages arose from that colloquial tongue: among Hindus, the modern form of Hindi, which derives its vocabulary and script (Devanagari) mainly from Sanskrit; and among Muslims, Urdu, which, though grammatically identical with Hindi, draws much of its vocabulary from Persian and Arabic and is written in the Perso-Arabic script. Despite the rift, Hindi and Urdu remain mutually intelligible, while their Hindustani progenitor still serves as a lingua franca in many parts of the subcontinent, particularly in the north.
English, a remnant of British colonial rule, is the most widely used lingua franca. The great size of India's population makes it one of the largest English-speaking communities in the world, although English is claimed as the mother tongue by only a small number of Indians and is spoken fluently by less than 5 percent of the population. English serves as the language linking the central government with the states, especially with those in which Hindi is not widely understood. English is also the principal language of commerce and the language of instruction in almost all of the country's prestigious universities and private schools. The English-language press remains highly influential; scholarly publication is predominantly in English (almost exclusively so in science); and many Indians are devotees of literature in English (much of it written by Indians), as well as of English-language film, radio, television, popular music, and theatre.
Minor languages and dialects
Although many tribal communities are gradually abandoning their tribal languages, scores of such languages survive. Few, however, are still spoken by more than a million persons, with the exception of Bhili (Indo-European) and Santhali (of the Munda branch of the Austroasiatic family), which are both estimated as having more than five million speakers. Others include Gondi (Dravidian), Kurukh, or Oraon (Dravidian), Ho (Munda), Manipuri (Sino-Tibetan), and Mundari (Munda). Generally, tribal languages lack a written tradition, though many are now written in the Roman script or, less often, in scripts adapted from those of neighbouring nontribal regions.

Explosion in Bali beach area, police official says
October 1, 2005
JAKARTA (Reuters) – An explosion rocked the Kuta beach
tourist area of Indonesia's resort island of Bali, a police
official said on Saturday.
"Our officers are on their way to the site. We don't know
yet what happened exactly,' Ruda, an official at Bali police
headquarters, told Reuters by telephone.
He had no details on damage or casualties.
Local television said there had been three explosions near
tourist areas on Bali.

At just 27, she has several more years of being competitive at the top level
Maria Sharapova's second French Open title on the clay courts of Roland Garros left her scratching her head as to how she ever got to that point in her career.
Reared on the hard courts of Russia and Florida, and happiest on the green grass of Wimbledon, the biggest name in women's sport is a late convert to the joys of the red surface.
She once described her early outings on clay as being akin to a "cow on ice", but since her thrilling 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4 win over Romania's Simona Halep on Saturday in the finest Paris final in many a year, she is now a clay court legend.
Asked at her post-match press conference if she found it bizarre that it had turned out that way, Sharapova replied: "I'm with you on that one. If somebody had told me that I'd have more Roland Garros titles than any other Grand Slam, I'd probably go get drunk. Or tell them to get drunk, one or the other."
"It's really amazing. I feel that I worked to get to this position. There's nothing else. There is no substitute in winning these titles. You can't just go out there and just do it without putting in the effort, putting in the work.
"You're not just born being a natural clay court player. Okay, maybe if you're (Rafael) Nadal. But certainly not me. I didn't grow up on it, didn't play on it. I just took it upon myself to make myself better on it. There is no one else that was going to do that for me. I had to do the work."
Hard work and sacrifice is something that the Russian superstar has never shied away from since leaving her mother country and her mother at the age of nine to further her career in the tennis heartlands of Florida.
Her precocious first Grand Slam victory as a 17-year-old at Wimbledon 2004 was quickly followed up by a US Open win when she was still a teenager in 2006.
Marketable name
World No. 1 status and her Australian Open win at the start of 2008 helped make her one of the most marketable names in sport — men or women.
But while the global acclaim remained, her form dipped as a shoulder injury sidelined her for long periods.
It was her first French Open title in 2012 — which made her just the seventh woman in the Open era, which started in 1968, to win all four Grand Slam titles during her career — that marked Sharapova's return to the top.
Saturday's win — her fifth Grand Slam title, taking her level with Martina Hingis at joint 11th on the all-time list — now has a special place in her mind.
"It's incredible to be sitting here 10 years after my first Grand Slam win, and to think that I now have five," she said.
"You know, at that stage you're 17 (at Wimbledon 2004), and of course you think it was a great tournament, obviously.
"Can I do that again? Can I win more majors? You always have those question marks," she said.

text: The Doctor Arcane wiki last edited by KillerZ on 09/29/13 04:10AM View full history OriginIn a world of one day heroes there was a young scholar who would arise as one such hero. Dr.Donald Avery is an occult specialist who at an early age took up his trade as a pupil of the mystic arts. After some time of adventuring in the early 1940's around many exotic locations across the world, Dr.Avery honed his abilities and exclusively sought paranormal encounters. Than meeting several para-normal's who used their abilities for the greater good of mankind, Dr. Avery, calling himself Dr.Arcane, joined forces with these contemporary heroes during the mid-1940's to force the evil entity Malice spirit into her black gemstone.In the realms of magic goes the good DoctorBattling back the entity Malice with all their combined might, they took the creature down at the end of the battle. With the black gemstone removed from the body of Melissa d'Arque's brow, she lapsed into a dreamlike death trance. It had been believed that this would free Melissa and Malice's evil influence, but it proved not to be the case. And the first tragic story of Dr.Arcane's long career would begin to unfold. As years passed Avery would resettle in San Fransisco California and reside in his mystically warded estate.As time passed Dr.Avery grew old and the world around him changed and new heroes were born.Look into my eyes!Along with time came the apparent truth that a darkness was coming in the form of demons and unforgivable past events. Even as the retired Dr.Arcane was now bound to a wheelchair he would take a firm move to gather the well known group of adventures called the Champions. Petitioning to the band to help him safeguard and investigate the Hellfire Crow, a mystical component which would house Malice's gem and be a formidable tool for destruction. Powers and AbilitiesOut of body experience As one of Earths most powerful sorcerers, Doctor Arcane can use the innate psychic resources, the manipulation of ambient magical energies, and the invocation of mystic entities and objects to accomplish such feats as energy projection, transformation, teleportation, astral projection, possession, travel to other dimensions, and many other magically induced feats.Doctor Arcane possess years of schooling in the knowledge of the occult. He is familiar with contemporary religious beliefs as well as ancient forgotten ones. His knowledge of lost or obscure tomes and entities are stacked with years of hands on experiences.

long hair on the windy sea
Whether you braid it or wrap it with something, you are definitely going to have something hanging behind your neck and on your back, so the swivel-head problem will remain. I used the stretchy, metal-clip free cloth covered elastic bands up tight next to the head (maybe two of them, my hair was thick and heavy) and attached the sleeve/glove to these bands. This worked pretty well to prevent frizzy braid, but it does add weight to the thing hanging from your head.
I suppose the only alternative that eliminates all these problems is to jam your hair up under a bathing cap or stretchy wig cap. Very aerodynamic. You could buy an admiral''s hat
And glue it to the outside of your wig cap. Then you''d really look the part.
Or you could do what I did, and donate your hair.

Student achievement would have less effect on teachers' evaluations under legislation being consideration in Ohio. This school year, districts statewide were to begin annual teacher evaluations using a formula in which student achievement on standardized tests counts toward half of teachers' assessments. The proposed legislation drops the percentage to 35%, but allows individual districts to adopt a higher percentage.

Heidegger Made Kosher
The year 2005 in France was a "Sartre Year," the celebrated existentialist's centenary. In Paris, bookstores were flooded with commemorative publications. Almost every newspaper and journal set aside space for a copious special issue on his work. The new, ultramodern Bibliothèque Nationale mounted a slick multimedia exhibition on Sartre's life and times featuring salient memorabilia as well as rare video clips from his plays. The obligatory audio CDs of long-forgotten interviews appeared, strategically placed near the cash registers as a tempting impulse purchase for diehards and aficionados. And predictably, in France and abroad, there were countless long-winded academic conferences devoted to his work.
Yet paradoxically, no one seemed to know what to say. On the one hand, no one dominated the landscape of twentieth-century French intellectual life like Jean-Paul Sartre. In fact, no one came close. But therein lay the main problem. After all, with the exception of poetry, Sartre excelled at every literary form imaginable. He wrote philosophical treatises, novels, short stories, essays, plays, biographies and political manifestoes. Many of them are still read and discussed today. In an age of mind-numbing specialization, Sartre was a welcome anachronism, a veritable Renaissance man. Moreover, after the war he inherited the coveted mantle of the engaged intellectual, a venerable French tradition dating back to the likes of Voltaire, Victor Hugo and Émile Zola. In 1960, by signing the "Manifesto of the 121" protesting the brutal war in Algeria and urging French troops to desert, Sartre openly flouted French political authority. When President Charles de Gaulle was urged by his advisers to summarily place the gadfly philosopher under arrest, he responded emphatically: "One does not arrest Voltaire!"
How, then, might one go about commemorating Sartre, the quintessential polymath, a figure who, uncannily, excelled at virtually every endeavor he undertook? Who, in fact, is truly qualified to do justice to his manifold achievements and multifaceted oeuvre? When Sartre was alive, at least one could address each successive book, treatise or article serially, as they appeared. His death has deprived us of this rule of thumb. The possibilities for evaluation are dizzying and boundless.
But there is another reason the Sartre centennial seemed so deflating. Among intellectuals in today's tepid political climate, Sartre's concept of engagement has become a source of bad conscience. In many ways, he was what we are not--and what we, realistically speaking, can no longer be. Of course, Sartre committed egregious errors in political judgment. As late as 1973 he could still claim that the reason the French Revolution failed was that the Jacobins refused to kill enough people. Shortly thereafter, among French writers and opinion leaders, the so-called anti-totalitarian moment took hold. "Dissidence" became the new intellectual watchword. Sartre's brand of political militancy went rapidly out of fashion. For a younger generation that had bid an unsentimental adieu to the temptations and delusions of "leftism," Sartre represented the Marxist superego that had to be destroyed so that French liberalism could live. Lately, French intellectuals have recoiled in horror at neoliberalism's injustices. Ironically, they have no one but themselves to blame.
This year in France is a "Levinas Year." The French philosopher was born in Lithuania in 1906 and died in 1995, just a few weeks short of his ninetieth birthday. There is something perversely appropriate about the commemorative sequence. In many respects Emmanuel Levinas was the anti-Sartre. Like the author of Being and Nothingness, he was enamored of German philosophy. And like Sartre, Levinas viewed himself as an heir to the phenomenological method conceived by Edmund Husserl and consummated by Martin Heidegger. But that's more or less where the similarities end. It would not be an exaggeration to describe Levinas's entire philosophical endeavor as a machine de guerre directed against Sartrean existential humanism. With Sartre, it is the "For-Itself," or consciousness, that constitutes philosophy's Archimedean vantage point. For Levinas, conversely, it is the "Other," l'Autrui, in all its uncanny metaphysical strangeness.
Although the two men were born within a year of each other, Levinas's anti-Sartrism bore a distinctively Oedipal character. Sartre's version of existentialism needed to perish so that Levinas's approach might live. In fact, for the generation of French thinkers who came of age during the 1940s and '50s, Sartre's presence was so titanic that slaying Sartre-the-father became an obligatory rite of passage. So thoroughly did he dominate every field of literary endeavor that his potential heirs felt they lacked breathing space. All of them--Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, as well as the two Jacques, Derrida and Lacan--at one point or another fired off venom-tipped textual explosives in Sartre's direction. Under the cover of the "death of the author," the structuralist thinkers were secretly hoping for Sartre's early demise.
Levinas was nothing if not a late bloomer. His magnum opus, Totality and Infinity, appeared in 1961, when he was already 55. Philosophical acclaim came even later. Not until the 1980s, when Levinas was in his late 70s, did France, his adoptive homeland, take this prolific and illustrious immigrant to its bosom. France has a long history of embracing foreign-born intellectuals and scholars: Jean Piaget, Lévi-Strauss, Derrida and Julia Kristeva were all born outside metropolitan France. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer for them to be recognized.

Yevgeniy "Eugene" Frid, general manager of A Greener Today, holds a container of a marijuana strain called Scoobie Doobie "High CBD" in Seattle in this photo made Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013. It started with small doses that eased the aches of restaurant work. But over time, Frid found himself addicted to prescription painkillers. "It completely envelopes your whole life." He tried to quit many times, and when he finally did, he says, cannabis played a huge role _ displacing the opiates with a substance much gentler on the body. Frid, 28, quit his job doing business management and marketing for a video game company when a friend asked him to help start a medical marijuana dispensary. A Greener Today opened in Seattle in 2012 and now serves about 4,000 people. Frid says his most gratifying work is helping patients get off opiates the way he did, so he has mixed feelings about applying for a recreational retail license. The future of unregulated medical marijuana in Washington is dim _ many state officials see it as a threat to the heavily taxed recreational system. Some medical dispensary operators believe they have little choice but to convert to the recreational market. "We don't know what's happening," Frid says. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

A diamond planet?
Distant, carbon-rich world could contain one-third its weight in gems that are relatively rare on Earth
By Sid Perkins, 15:37 PM November 30, 2012
A planet orbiting a distant star is probably unlike any of the hundreds yet discovered. For instance, scientists say that about one-third of this incredibly hot, barren world — larger than Earth — could be made of diamonds.
The planet, known as 55 Cancri e, is one of five circling the star 55 Cancri. This star lies about 40 light-years from Earth. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year, about 9.5 trillion kilometers. The distant solar system lies within the constellati...

No. 7,177,324, and titled "Network Having Bandwidth Sharing", which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/304,985, filed on Jul. 12, 2001.
Not Applicable.
The present invention relates generally to communication systems and, more particularly, to communication systems sharing channel bandwidth.
As is known in the art, there are a variety of known protocols for transferring voice, data, and signaling traffic using Internet Protocol (IP) packet switching technology over the Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) infrastructure, which has traditionally been used for television broadcast. One such protocol is defined by the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). However, in DOCSIS systems, the (HFC) upstream bandwidth is a potential bottleneck due to the relatively limited availability of bandwidth and the potential high demand for residential telephony and high-speed data applications.
It would, therefore, be desirable to provide a system having efficient schemes for managing the limited upstream bandwidth so that the blocking and delay requirements of voice and signaling traffic and the delay and throughput requirements of data traffic can be satisfied.
The present invention provides a network having enhanced sharing of a limited bandwidth channel, such as an upstream channel, among a plurality of users of the network, e.g., a cable network. In one embodiment, sub intervals within a map interval for specifying future upstream transmissions are optimized for efficient bandwidth utilization.
In one particular embodiment, a map interval for an upstream Data Over Cable Interface Specification (DOCSIS) network channel includes a management interval, a request interval, a data-plus-signaling interval, and a voice interval. So-called Unsolicited Grants (UGs) are used within the voice interval to transmit packetized voice streams. There is one UG per voice stream established at the beginning of a voice call and released as the call ends. The system arranges the different intervals and UG placement to minimize data packet fragmentation for optimal utilization of the limited upstream bandwidth.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
At each cable modem 102, separate traffic streams are supported using separate Service Flow IDs (SIDs). Packet queuing and contention for upstream transmission over the HFC are done independently for each SID. For each upstream channel, the transmission format and timing is controlled by periodic maps sent on the downstream.
In order to control delay jitter for voice packets, unsolicited grants are used to provide transmission permission to a voice packet stream (identified by a SID) once every packetization interval. It is understood that real-time applications with relatively tight delay jitter requirements can be generally referred to as "voice," while applications not having tight delay jitter requirements can be referred to as "data." There can be multiple types of voice calls using various conventional encoding schemes (e.g., G.711, G.726, G.728 and G.729E). Also, the packetization interval and the degree of payload header suppression may vary among calls so that the unsolicited grants may be of variable size. As known to one of ordinary skill in the art, payload header suppression (PHS) refers to the removal of a repetitive or redundant portion of packet headers being transmitted between CM and CMTS on established voice sessions. The packetization interval (the time duration of speech sample carried by a single voice packet with at least one voice packet transmission per packetization interval), map interval 200, request interval 202, management interval 204 and the packet transmission times for voice, data and signaling can be integer multiples of a mini-slot, which is the basic time unit for transmission over the HFC upstream. A mini-slot typically is eight or sixteen bytes in length.
As an example, consider a 1.6 MHz upstream channel (with a symbol rate of 1.28 Million symbols per second) using QPSK modulation that corresponds to a channel bandwidth of 2.56 Mbps. Assuming a voice packetization interval of 10 ms and a map interval 200 the same as the packetization interval, then one map interval 200 shown above in
In one aspect of the invention, the upstream channel partition among the request 202, management 204, voice 208 and data+signaling intervals 206 is "soft" and flexible. It is understood that the downstream has only one transmitter, i.e., the CMTS 104 (
In one embodiment, the system allows the minimum data+signaling interval 206 of the map interval 200 to utilize unused bandwidth in the voice interval 208 but with lower priority, i.e., the bandwidth is given up as soon as a new voice call arrives. As described above, UGs are located in the interval 208 and each UG transmits a single packetized voice stream identified by a unique SID. The part of the interval 208 not being used by the voice UGs forms the extension of the data+signaling interval 206. As the number of voice streams dynamically changes, the number of UGs required to support them changes and therefore the extension of the data/signaling interval vary as well. The system has a soft partition in the data+signaling-to-voice direction but a hard partition in the voice-to-data+signaling direction.
As shown in
In a further embodiment shown in
In another embodiment, UGs are packed away from data without closing of holes. This is the same as the case described in the previous paragraph except that if a voice-call termination leaves a hole among the UGs, then no attempt is made to close it immediately. However, as a new voice call arrives, the hole is attempted to be closed by placing the new UG at the hole. If the UGs are of the same size, this should always be possible. If they are of different sizes and the new UG is bigger than the hole then it is placed adjacent to the existing UGs. In terms of closing the hole, the system waits for a future voice call with the correct-sized UG to arrive. If the new UG is smaller than the hole then the system can either partially fill the hole or place it adjacent to the existing UGs and in terms of closing the hole, wait for a future voice call with the correct-sized UG to arrive. This scheme avoids the delay jitter of the scheme described in the previous paragraph. During the period of time during which the hole exists, it remains inefficient for transmitting large packets and so it can be used for transmitting relatively small-sized packets, e.g., request, management, signaling or small data packets).
As shown in
Referring again to
In an exemplary embodiment, within each map interval 200, all the voice unsolicited grants (UG) form a single (or almost single) contiguous interval referred to as the UG interval within the voice region 208 so as to maximize the size of the data+signaling interval. In one embodiment, the UG interval can be located adjacent to the request/management intervals 202, 204. Alternatively, the UGs are placed at an opposite end of the map interval 200 (
In one particular embodiment, the system determines whether there already exists a contiguous UG interval. Any new unsolicited grant is placed adjacent to the existing UG interval to form a single bigger UG interval, so long as the predetermined upper limit of the voice interval is not exceeded. If the upper limit of the voice interval would be exceeded by adding a new UG, the new request for unsolicited grant is refused. Selection of the upper limit of the voice interval can depend upon the amount of expected voice and data traffic, the blocking requirement for voice calls, and the delay and throughput requirements of data packets. A typical example of the upper limit can be about 70% of the total bandwidth available to voice, data and signaling traffic.
In another aspect of the invention, if a hole is formed upon the removal of an unsolicited grant UG, then there are two scenarios. In a first scenario, all unsolicited grants on one side of the formed hole are shifted to close the hole to form a single contiguous voice interval so as to minimize fragmentation of the data+signaling interval. While this may introduce some jitter in voice calls, the amount of jitter is generally acceptable. For example, for G.711 encoded voice calls using payload header suppression over a 2.56 Mbps channel, the amount of jitter is about 0.425 ms. Tolerable delay jitter is typically around 2 ms.
In the second scenario, the hole is allowed to remain and the system attempts to fill the hole with management, request, signaling, and/or data packets. The second scenario does not introduce jitter, but does introduce some fragmentation of the data+signaling interval (the interval 206 plus all holes left over by the voice UGs). However, any degradation in data throughput due to this fragmentation is relatively small.
In another aspect of the invention, voice unsolicited grants are limited to a predetermined fraction α, where α<1, of the total bandwidth available to voice, data and signaling, i.e., all the bandwidth except for that used for the request and management intervals 202, 204. This ensures that data and signaling traffic always has some bandwidth available. The size of α is determined based on the number of voice and data subscribers to be supported and their blocking grade of service requirement. An exemplary value of α can be about 0.7.
Note that as voice calls come and go, the total length of the UG interval fluctuates. However, bandwidth, other than that used by the UG and MR intervals, is available to data and signaling as a single contiguous block. Also note that a (1−α) portion of the overall bandwidth (except for the bandwidth used by request and management regions 202, 204) is available to data and signaling traffic.
In an exemplary embodiment, separate SIDs (Service Flow IDs) are used for data and signaling so that the data and signaling packets queue separately. This will ensure that signaling packets would not have to be excessively delayed during an occasional burst of large data packets. In one particular embodiment, priority is given to signaling over data. If both data and signaling packets are in a grant-pending status then the CMTS 104 (
If at any given instant, the total available bandwidth is more than the sum of the bandwidth needs for the primary request 202, management 204, voice (the unsolicited grants within interval 208) and data+signaling, then all the excess bandwidth is used to form a secondary request interval that expands the overall request interval. Expanding the overall request interval reduces contention and decreases the amount of time between requesting a data grant and actually getting it. The request packets are relatively short, e.g., one or two mini-slots, so that fragmentation is negligible. Therefore, the secondary request interval need not form a contiguous block or be adjacent to the original request interval. Rather, wherever an unused gap is available, it can be filled with request packets.
As shown in
It is understood that while the invention is shown and described in conjunction with cable modems, it is applicable to communication systems in general which have limited bandwidth including DSL and Wireless networks. It is further understood that certain terms and features, such as map interval and the like, should be broadly construed to cover a variety of implementations within the scope of the present invention.
One skilled in the art will appreciate further features and advantages of the invention based on the above-described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited by what has been particularly shown and described, except as indicated by the appended claims. All publications and references cited herein are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In the claims it is to be understood that the term "voice" is used generically to imply any real-time traffic stream with tight delay jitter requirement.

1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
Why oh why do they have to make games in third person perspective only. I don't mean the 3rd person Diablo style, that I can handle because you're in a god or master control mode, but the 3rd person behind the shoulder view just kills games for me...
What I don't get is why people like like 3rd so much, for me I hate looking at the back of the head of some polygon stitched together dude. I've heard some say it makes the game easier cause you can see your surroundings better, but please just turn down the hardness settings. Now if you like to see Laura Crofts "assets" bouncing around then I guess it could make a little more sense, but please then go look up some pron and get the itch over with...
Where as 1st is like being thrown into a novel, it's what your character sees through his/her eyes. Isn't it so much more immersive, and it's that the funnest part, being immersed into this gaming world? Everytime I see the back of my character's head it just kills the immerson factor for me...
I was going to buy Mass Effect, several screenshots had 1st person, but I guess that's used for cut scenes only, but since I dislike this view so much I won't be buying the game.... I love the concept of GTA but I can't get over the 3rd person view... would be awesome to play GTA4 in 1st person, for the PC of course...
What I really don't get is why developers don't give us an option, Oblivion does?? I used to do a little 3d game programming and from what I recall it's just a matter of changing the camera perspective... models would remain the same...
Anyways, just curious as to what the masses prefer vs. what the developers feed us...
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
First... I wish more RPGs were first person, like Oblivion... Mass Effect in first person? Wowzers.
I like 3rd too though... glad GTA and Mercenaries and such are in 3rd, as well as Splinter Cell. Can you imagine Splinter Cell in first person? Ewww.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
If the gameplay suits then im ok whichever it is. Some games work in 1st only and some only in 3rd.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
Crainger likes both 3rd and 1st person. I agree with |MaNgUS|. Depends on the gameplay really.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
Idd it does depend on gameplay...i prefer to play Lost Planet in 3rd person but shooters like COD and UT3 have to be 1st person.
I enjoy first person games more as whole though.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
Because 3rd is good for games like Hitman/The Witcher/Splinter Cell/etc.
And 1st is good for games like Oblivion/Armed Assault/F.E.A.R/Half Life/Bioshock/etc.
Each is good depending on how the gameplay works.
But i do Agree that it does tend to kill the fun factor sometimes being stuck with 3rd person only:(
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
It depends on the game, but most of the time the third person over the shoulder view just seems unnecessary and causes the player to get in the way.
If I had the choice between over the shoulder and first person, in 90% of games I'd choose first person.
Exceptions would be games like the witcher that have complex melee combat... but even in that game its a far-away third person camera when you fight and only over the shoulder when your weapon isn't drawn. Only reason the over the shoulder angle is needed is because switching from first to third person all the time for combat would be awkward.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
99.9% of the time, 1st person is the only way to go, except when amazing games like mafia come out.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
I like either/or, as someone said above, it depends on the game.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
1st all the way :D
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
1st mostly, but something like max payne 2 just needs third, the epic dives and slow motion stuff just isn't the same in 3rd person.
Re: 1st vs. 3rd person game perspective
1st person for most shooters. Anything that places you in the middle of tons of enemies though gimme 3rd.

Furthermore, one of Dice's developers stated that by the time the game ships, that there won't be a PC setup that will run the game smoothly at it's absolute maximum quality settings, so we might be looking at a title that will make the same impact as Crysis did in 2007....
I plan on putting that assesment to the test....
Here's the thing that worries me though- last developer that pushed a game out for PC first (only as a matter of fact), and even openly stated that with how high-end the visuals were no PC at it's time of release would be able to play it fully maxed. They stuck to their word on that. When they released it even the greatest of rigs, oc'd to the max, with dual top-end video cards (8800GTXs) couldn't run the game full-tilt, just as the developer had promised. The PC community nearly crapped a brick, complaining about how it was poorly optimized and such.
That game was Crysis. To this day, many games struggle to meet it's level of graphical fidelity and over all realistic appearance.
Crytek then dumbed the visuals down considerably for the consoles, guaranteeing Crysis 2 would run full-tilt on today's gaming rigs. They get flak for it from the PC Gaming crowd. Crytek releases a High-res texture pack and DX11 patch, it seems to please most, but many are still "disappointed".
I'm almost afraid that for a pure PC game BF3 will be absolutely awesome, but because of how spoiled the PC Gaming crowd is by games designed for consoles and thus running purely maxed even on a mid-range rig, it'll receive flak if rigs sporting 3x 3GB GTX580s, 3x 6970s, or the equivalent can't run the game purely maxed. Me, I'd be greatful if that were the case. It'd mean that 2 years from now the game will still be fun to play through because by that time we'll likely finally have hardware that could run the game @ 100%. Would be great.
But just seeing how fickle and two-faced the PC community is, I almost anticipate a repeat of Crysis.

Catawba County Schools will employ a new superintendent in the next several months. What trait would you most like the new administrative leader to possess?
Vote now at observernewsonline.com.
The CCS Board of Education met this week to review and discuss the results of a community survey that solicited input about the system's next superintendent.
For more about the surveys:
After a gloomy economic climate has prevailed in the Hickory Metro during the past several years, glimmers of hope are emerging in the region's outlook.
"How do you get ranked eighth worst metro in America to find a job," Catawba County Chamber of Commerce President Danny Hearn said of a recent list published by U.S. News and World Report, "and we wake up this morning and we are ranked the ninth best metro in America for economic development announcements."
A Hickory man will spend at least 15 years in prison for the 2009 bludgeoning murder of a 70-year-old man at an assisted living center.
On Thursday, Dennis Edward Scherzer pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of Roland Simmons at Hickory's Walden Assisted Living Center.
The murder occurred in July 2009, when Hickory Police Department investigators found Simmons unconscious with severe head trauma.
Hickory police said Scherzer, another Walden House resident, beat Simmons in the head with a steel pipe.
A Newton man is in jail after breaking into a local church, several vehicles and leading police on a foot chase.
Police say a citizen called police about 2:30 a.m. Thursday after seeing a suspicious man checking for unlocked car doors near 11th Street and North Gaither Avenue in Newton.
When police arrived moments later, the suspect fled. Newton Police Chief Don Brown said a chase ended when the suspect fell down a large drainage ditch, injuring himself.
After being ranked as one of the worst places to find a job two months ago, the Greater Hickory area has notched another top 10 ranking.
This time, it's good news.
The Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir metro area ranked as one of the top 10 areas in the nation for economic development in a recent report in Site Selection magazine.
The region ranked as the No. 9 performing metro area in the nation in announced economic development projects in the category of metropolitan areas with a population between 200,000 and 1 million people, according to the report.
More than 800 citizens shared their preferences for the next Catawba County Schools (CCS) superintendent, and the surveys reveal that the public and school personnel want a strong communicator with financial skills and administrative experience.
The CCS Board of Education met Wednesday to discuss the results of a survey of what characteristics community members would like the next school superintendent to possess.

What kind of mature content does this game have?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I'm personally trying to avoid any kind of sexual content, and preferrably, I don't like every other word being a swear word, because the developers think swearing like a pirate without any thought to the context of the dialogue makes everything better.
I would get Bayonetta... and while it looks like amazing fun, like I said, I'm trying to avoid that type of content.
Is this more of a M rated Zelda, where it is very classy with it's M license, and just uses it to show violence and dark tones of commentary without the nasty business?
Gamer Tag: Hero C
Playing: Left 4 Dead 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mirror's Edge, Street Fighter IV
Sugestive themes,-Probably a half-clothed demon or something, i wouldn't worry much about it
Blood and Gore,-Your ok with this, i would guess.
Mature Violence,^same...
If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and are 100% proud of
it put this in your sig. <(^_^)v This message was in Deathx113's opinion
a lot of horse pr0n
Were not terrible people Madden, Horses are terrible people.
I don't know about the Mature Content, but I am right along with the TC. That is the reason I plan on getting this game OVER Bayonetta...played the demo and couldn't get past the blatant whorish sexuality. Ugh.
Current Games: MW2, Blazblue, Dragon Age
Anticipated Games: Darksiders
Bayonetta is still the better game. But dont get me wrong this game is a lot of fun. The mature content is really just in the blood and gore Tiamat has breast but almost unnoticable.
PSN ID: MrEvisu // XBL
I am KING of every game i play...Dont believe me?? PLAY ME!!!!!!!!
It's M mostly for the violence...There are lots of decapitations and other gruesome deaths (lots and lots of head squishing!) involved.
I don't think there's anything sexual about the game at all, having finished it just a few minutes ago. Sure, the angels dress in formfitting armor that shows off their curves but that's mostly it.
As for dialogue, there are no F-bombs being dropped at all. Pretty standard fare, but well written (and acted) mostly.
GT: Shael, PSN ID: Defstryk, Wii FC: Can't Be Bothered To Check
trying to avoid sexual content??????
MMMMM... you want your blood tts-free?
So seeing a naked body causes you to bang your head on the wall since you are ok with violence.
sex is bad but killing 100's of people is ok!! you people need to chill out.
There is one, that I ever saw, boob that shows up. There might be more but I never noticed anymore than that one. Yes... ONE. Not a pair, ONE!
Best Buy sucks so bad, I have to Sig it!
The customer service were stupid & they lied. Don't Buy from Best Buy

Asia's first IM Cardoso; 75
Rodolfo Tan Cardoso, the first Asian International Master and member of the first Philippine team that competed in the Moscow Chess Olympiad in 1956, died Wednesday after a heart attack.
Born Dec. 25, 1937 in Anda, Pangasinan, Cardoso was highly regarded as a player, arbiter, coach and teacher. He earned his IM title in 1957.
He and Campomanes saw action in Moscow along with NMs Carlos Benitez and Glicerio Badilles.
"He was a true gentleman over the chessboard. As the first International Master of Asia, he aroused Philippine interest in chess and put our country in the world chess map. And, he was the only Filipino to ever beat (American chess great) Bobby Fischer," said two-time Olympian and National Master/lawyer Samuel Estimo.
"He's a big loss to Philippine chess. Before his death, he was still involved in the sport by teaching youngsters," said Asia's First Grandmaster Eugene Torre.
His remains lie at La Funeraria Paz, Manila Memorial, Sucat, Parañaque. The body will be transferred Saturday morning to Alaminos, Pangasinan. Interment will be on Monday.
For details, call or text his nephew Rene at 0922 853 6256.

Former Fla. GOP chief pleads guilty before trial
Monday - 2/11/2013, 4:57pm EST
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The criminal trial of former Republican Party of Florida chair Jim Greer had promised to be embarrassing for party leaders, rising Republican star Marco Rubio and former Gov. Charlie Crist, who is contemplating a new political future as a Democrat.
But Greer's guilty pleas on Monday to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering ended the trial before it even started and ensured that some state GOP secrets will remain confidential, at least for the time-being.
"There were a number of people who did not want this trial to go forward and the trial isn't going forward," Damon Chase, Greer's attorney, said after the former chair entered his pleas in court. "Once again, Jim Greer is falling on his sword for a lot of other folks."
Greer, 50, could face a prison sentence of 3

Why Laver didnt win a slam after 1969?

Indeed. Laver also won the Sydney Dunlop Open in 1970 that took place 2 months after the Aussie. It was explicitly considered in the media as the 'unofficial' Australian major (strangely the 1st Australian Open in history in 1969 was not a success financially, so the organizers couldn't offer the same prize money the next year, hence the absence of the top pros; the Dunlop was a WCT event, so no financial issues...). Laver beat Ashe, the Australian Open winner in the final.
He couldn't take part in Roland Garros from 1970 to 1972. Afterwards, only WTT players were banned from 1974 on. But in 1973, though Laver was allowed to play he declined to go, which shows that his commitment to RG or the Australian in the 70s would have been patchy at best even if he could take part every time.
In 1972 and 1973 he wasn't in Wimbledon, the 1st time around because of the professionals' ban, the 2nd time because of the famous boycott.
He was at the Australian in 1971, but that was the last good field of the 70s there and in the following years Laver did not make the trip, though I think there was no ban or limitation of any sort.

Oil Rises as Bernanke Call for Looser Policy Spurs Demand
March 26 (Bloomberg) -- Oil rose, recovering earlier losses, after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S.

The diversity on campus has to be the best and greatest out there because there are over 70 countries all represented on our little campus. Being this little campus everyone practically knows everyone or could because of the tightness and secluded feeling we have here in our little town of Laie.
In regards to international students, there are few places where people come from so many different backgrounds.
Here at BYU-Hawaii there is a large number of diverse students from all over the world. We get together and find ways to connect with each other through church, groups, school activities, and cultural dances.
