Once upon a time, I played a PC game called Heist. It was truly dreadful, but it did spark my interest in seeing more methodical crime games on the market. Sadly, the wait has been more of a slow drip, with more cancellations and flops than successes, and those that reap the rewards generally rely on the Armani-infused gunplay of Michael Mann's Heat. It's been a safe bet, to say the least.

The Masterplan, however, aims to transport us back to grimier times, where excess is too many dreams away and guns are a luxury. It's going to take a lot of stolen keys and perfect timing if you're going to make it in this world. And while you're at it, add your own "Is it a steal or a daylight robbery?" remark here.

Blizzard took the penultimate spot in the PC gaming show at E3 tonight. Executive Producer Chris Sigaty and Game Director Dustin Browder started off talking about Heroes of the Storm, but eventually got to some juicy information about the final chapter of the StarCraft II saga. The third chapter is incoming, and as a transition between Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, Blizzard is releasing three prologue missions titled Whispers of Oblivion. The kicker: they will be free for everybody.

Of course, that's how dealers get you. Sure, you can have these three missions for free. Oh, you want more? Pay up, buddy.

Those who want in whole hog won't have to wait long. A beta is planned for July. That's next month!

When people hear the term "MOBA" they usually groan. I tend to respond with, "Tell me more." I grew up with RTS games since I could grasp a mouse and keyboard, and my first MOBA was the original DOTA back in 2005. Over the years I moved on to many other games, dabbling in them, but mostly playing League of Legends semi-competitively by way of ranked games.

By and large, MOBAs cater to the hardcore crowd. They have advanced tactics like last-hitting, complex item builds, and feature lengthy matches with pinpoint mechanics. Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm throws a lot of that out the window, and still manages to be a hell of a lot of fun while doing it.

There's a lot to love in this Humble Weekly Bundle of Relic games, but I have to give a special shout out to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Years later, I'm still amazed it turned out as well as it did. Satisfying shooting, melee, and movement, all wrapped up in that extravagant universe.

Pay what you want: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Game of the Year Edition, Dawn of War II, Company of Heroes Complete Edition, Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Front Armies - Oberkommando West

Pay more than the average (~$5): Dawn of War II: Retribution, Space Marine, Company of Heroes 2, Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Front Armies: US Forces

Pay $15 or more: Company of Heroes 2 - Ardennes Assault

Pay $30 or more: Relic t-shirt

The bundle runs until Thursday, June 4 at 11:00am Pacific. Happy ork hunting.

There are a bunch of upcoming games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Many of them look less than stellar, assuming you can even keep up with them all, but a few manage to stand out. One is Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, which we've seen and heard little about so far.

As a refresher, this is indeed an adaptation of Games Workshop's tabletop miniatures game. It's a PC strategy title with Imperial, Chaos, Elder, and Ork forces vying for control in space. Basically: Warhammer 40K + ship customization + real-time combat means I'm interested.

This clip is a teaser, so little to no action is shown. It starts off with just one ship -- a lavish, cathedral-esque ship, mind -- and then a few more show up, and then there's suddenly a whole armada. Shots are fired, but the impact isn't shown. Fine. I didn't want to see it, anyway!

City and civilization games on consoles are a rare thing. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but my guess would be that traditionally, these games only enjoy their moderate success on PC.

Whether it be the limitations of consoles themselves or the unwillingness to bring this genre over for fear of a lack of audience, those barriers are slowly withering away. This is evident in Tropico 5, which recently released on the PlayStation 4.

Just as deep and rich an experience as any simulation on the PC, Tropico 5 scratches an itch that a lot of console loyalists have been afflicted with for some time.

Two years later, Age of Empires II HD is still going strong. So strong that, according to producer Ryan Chaply, more people have spent 50+ hours with the game than there are actual humans living in Little Rock, Arkansas (~200k, says Wikipedia). Better give them something new.

The community team behind The Forgotten, an expansion for Age of Empires II HD released in 2013, is once again collaborating with Skybox. Their next official, still-unnamed expansion will add "new civilizations, campaigns, game modes, units, and more." And if you want to stick with the vanilla game, "you can look forward to additional support and features that benefit every owner."

More immediately, the developers pushed out an update yesterday that should improve team battles and game performance for lower-end machines. Also, support for Windows XP is out (RIP).

Like a ball of goo, I have watched the life of Grey Goo, a new real-time strategy game from developer Petroglyph, expand with enthusiasm, begin rolling, and slowly but surely lose mass as it turns into a tiny goo-ball that no one really notices anymore.

But the goo-ball is still a decent goo-ball! Sure it's missing a big part of what made it so appealing in the first place, but it's not like it disappeared completely. Anyway, all I'm trying to say here is watch where you step.

Where were you when that debut trailer for StarCraft II popped up online? It made its announcement all the way back in 2007 at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in South Korea. Much has changed since then. With the release of two StarCraft II titles so far, Blizzard has been trying to keep things interesting for the series in the face of evolving tastes and new games.

But one thing sure hasn't changed in the time since its debut all those years ago. People are still very much into the series, and with the final expansion rearing its head, the developers at Blizzard want players to get some hands-on time with the legendary real-time strategy title before its official release. Which, of course, hasn't quite been revealed yet.

During GDC, I got the opportunity to speak with Blizzard about its plans for the future of StarCraft, and how the upcoming expansion plans to tie everything up in dramatic and epic fashion.

Real-time strategy titles often feel large-scale by design. There are a whole bunch of units on the battlefield, and the player's tasked with directing them all simultaneously. Even if there aren't that many actual parts in the faction, controlling an entire army is powerful by nature.

Ashes of the Singularity laughs in the face of that model. The upcoming RTS from Oxide Games operates under an ambitious mindset: If you're billing these combat scenarios as epic, let's actually make them epic. Sheer quantity is Ashes' greatest strength, and it's certainly nothing to laugh at.

This is all possible because of Nitrous, an engine that Oxide put years into building from the ground up. It was created with the real-time strategy genre in mind, specifically to forge battlegrounds where there are more than 10,000 units on-screen all performing individual and unique actions.

Let's slow this down and dwell on that for a second: More than 10,000 units on-screen.

"Off I go then!" "Yes, m'lord!" "Job's done!"

These soundbites send my mind back to all of those magical summers spent obsessively playing Warcraft III as a teenager. The creators of Warcraft: Armies of Azeroth, a remake of the game being built in StarCraft II, shared new footage of the Alliance in action today. Looking good so far!

According to the developers, the project "adds some new gameplay features but saves original balance and graphical design," which is exactly the type of thing I was hoping to see come out of Blizzard releasing those Warcraft III assets for the public to tinker with in the StarCraft II editor.

Not to jinx it, but I'll be real sad if Armies of Azeroth is never completed. That's always the fear.

Although Homeworld Remastered Collection is classified as real-time strategy, there are some elements that set it apart from its brethren. The 3D camera and movement add another whole axis to worry about that some may find disorienting, and the fairly strict strengths and weaknesses of the units may lead to defeat if a cohesive unit strategy isn't considered.

These tips are geared primarily towards online multiplayer gameplay, but can also be applied to campaign or vs. the A.I.

In 1999, I was 11 years old. It was a time when every video game purchase was a gamble. The best you could do was to read a review or watch a grainy, minute-long Quicktime video that you spent an hour to download on 56k while hoping your $50 wasn't spent in vain. I discovered some of my favorite games with just the blind promises of the back of a box. Starsiege: Tribes, Suikoden II, Half-Life, Giants: Citizen Kabuto and more were all stabs in the dark that paid off with hours of enthrallment in front of the glow of a CRT.

As a young sci-fi fan, all anyone had to do back then to wrestle my hard-earned money from my wallet was throw some spaceships on a box. More than likely, if my mom allowed me, I'd fall in love with the simple promise of being whisked away to the stars. Sometimes my gambles paid off, like with Star Trek: Klingon Academy and Freelancer, and sometimes I'd get a dud like Allegiance, which was a good game, but one whose servers had been shut down before I even bought it. However, none made a bigger impression on me than Sierra's Homeworld did. The top-notch writing and 3D playing field etched themselves into my memory and left me clamoring for a sequel.

Although the story continued in Homeworld: Cataclysm in 2000 and Homeworld 2 in 2003, the series went dark and new copies weren't even available. THQ's bankruptcy in 2013 led to the franchise's rights going up for auction. After acquiring the IP with the winning $1.35 million bid, Gearbox announced it would be bringing an updated Homeworld and Homeworld 2 to a new generation in the form of the Homeworld Remastered Collection.

In a future where corporate greed has depleted the Earth's resources, humanity has taken to space to acquire the goods needed for survival. The asteroid belt was supposed to be the great salvation, an almost limitless bastion of metal and minerals which could be used to prop our depleted world up. However, the same corporations that harvested the Earth dry laid claim to all the most bountiful asteroids, forming a syndicate that continued to subjugate even the most powerful of the world's governments. That's where you come in. In one last great experiment in capitalism, you'll be claiming stake in the New Martian Colonies, the last place within humanity's reach that hasn't been claimed by the hand of the syndicates.

Offworld Trading Company is being produced by Stardock, developed by Mohawk Games, and headed by Soren Johnson, Civilization IV's lead designer. It's a real-time strategy where there are no armies to move, units to build, or cities to conquer. Instead your fight is purely financial; sell high, buy low, and bankrupt the competition. It's still in Steam Early Access, but the main gameplay modes are already all there. There's a dynamic campaign in which you'll play through a series of scenarios to make your way to the top of the Martian economy. They've also integrated a fairly intuitive set of tutorials that help get you into the game quickly, as well as take you through the advanced mechanics if you need the extra help. Multiplayer is also fully integrated, although when I checked there weren't a ton of people playing the game yet.

My Steam clock tells me that Homeworld Remastered Collection unlocks in less than nine hours, but that just means there's just enough time left to put up this here launch trailer, which is brimming with all the bombast of a Sony or Microsoft E3 sizzle reel, complete with catchy contemporary dance music, beat-synchronized jump cuts, and big text popups.

Already the comments are brimming with complaints about Gearbox not respecting Homeworld's "epic feel" and similar nonsense, but hey, the game's practically out already, so folks who want it will get all of Paul Ruskay's awesome soundtrack in a matter of hours.

Besides, you can always just turn down the trailer volume and double up on some Chopin as an alternative. I've found "Raindrop Prelude" works quite well, and even matches the beats.

[Disclosure: I backed There Came an Echo on Kickstarter.]

Iridium Studios started out as a tiny developer with a humble Kickstarter for its rhythm role-playing game Sequence. It saw enough success that lead designer Jason Wishnov was able to fill out his team and spend more time taking on a much larger project.

Four years later, There Came an Echo is finally out. Though it plays nothing like the studio's previous project, the two do share some striking similarities. Both are built on a neat idea, both explore themes of morality in science fiction, and both are a little rough around the edges.

All right, I'll admit it: I know almost nothing about Homeworld. After reading the plot synopsis on Wikipedia (yeah journalism!), I got the gist of how things go, but with all of the alien races involved I can't really place who the people in the trailer above are supposed to be.

All I know is that while the little ship was slowly orbiting the other, checking it out, and giving its best smooth jazz radio DJ voice, I was expecting to learn how baby spaceships are made. Things did not turn out exactly as I thought. Or maybe they did, if the swarm of tiny, orange-tailed ships that shoot out of the big, skinny one at the end are any indication.

Homeworld Remastered Collection is set to release on February 25. That's next week!

Mohawk Games, formed by Civilization IV lead designer Soren Johnson, released its first title on Steam Early Access today. Offworld Trading Company is a real-time strategy game that focuses on economic might as opposed to giant armies and combat. It takes place in a future in which the Earth has been drained of resources and corporations have staked claim on the most resource-rich areas of the asteroid belt.

As a pioneer, you'll be heading to Mars, the last place that hasn't been claimed or picked clean. The foundation of the game is the real-time market which you'll have to monitor to sell your goods at a profit and buy the things to keep your colony alive. Your goal, through hard work and a little help from hackers and pirates, is to dominate the Martian economy.

The Early Access version ($35.99) has a good deal of features already. You can access multiplayer and play head-to-head or free-for-all matches. The dynamic campaign is available, which will react accordingly to your actions giving a different outcome every game. The "advanced A.I." is also implemented, and it promises to be a formidable foe.

It's like an advanced version of Gazillionaire.

Blizzard is giving custom-game creators access to thousands of Warcraft III assets for use in the StarCraft II Arcade, including character and structure models, music, sound effects, and user interfaces for each race. What will they make with it? Better yet, what won't they make?

The assets are, for the time being, only on StarCraft II's public test realm, which can be accessed from the Region/Account dropdown on the Battle.net home screen. But don't let that stop you!

As someone who has spent hundreds of hours playing custom games like Defense of the Ancients and Element Tower Defense in Warcraft III, this news is delightful.

Deadnaut is a tactical, squad-based, sci-fi horror affair from Australian developer Screwfly Studios. The title launched on Steam last November and I'm regrettably only getting around to playing it now. Its unique but minimal look is partly to blame for me passing it over in the first place; but, after finally taking the time to dig into the meat of the game, the abstract, icon-based view of the playing field is one of my favorite things about it.

The game begins each time as you approach a derelict vessel adrift in space. It's your job to send in a crew of five Deadnauts -- a boarding party so-named because the likelihood of them ever returning is considered remote. It's a dangerous line of work to say the least.

Vessels contain hostile life forms, some more dangerous than others, and security systems that not only pose a direct threat, but can also work to sever the lifeline that is communication between you and your team. And, if these occupational hazards weren't enough, the ship itself is falling apart and if it reaches a certain level of instability it will collapse, killing all on board.

Mighty Rabbit Studios and Gun Media's top-down tactical thriller, Breach & Clear: Deadline, entered Early Access last week on Steam. After a brief stint in a public pre-alpha, the Gambitious Digital Entertainment and Devolver Digital co-published horror-themed shooter proved itself ready to move on to the next phase of development.

Deadline is currently in a pre-alpha state, meaning that players should expect to encounter a variety of bugs as well as unfinished/partially implemented gameplay features and content.

With that said, there's still a lot of content on offer. I spent some time playing with the Early Access build over the weekend and came away impressed. Admittedly, there's still quite a bit of work to be done before the game's ready for prime time, but even in this state, it's already a lot of fun.

If you're interested in getting involved early and helping to shape the game's development, Early Access is going for the reduced price of $14.99.

As mentioned above, we have a copy of the game to give away to one lucky commenter courtesy of Devolver Digital, so make sure to check your PMs this evening.

Finally! The Mothership has arrived. It's been quite a while since we last heard word from Gearbox and its plan to spruce up the Homeworld series for a much-needed rerelease, but more details have just jumped in, including a price, package, trailer, and most importantly, a release date.

Gearbox will be releasing the Homeworld Remastered Collection - which includes Homeworld Remastered and Homeworld 2 Remastered - on February 25, 2015, just about a month from now. The whole thing will cost $34.99 at release, and include compatibility-updated classic versions of both games, in case you want to view them in their original glory. Gearbox also took the opportunity to remind folks about Homeworld: Shipbreakers, a prequel game being developed by Homeworld veterans at Blackbird Interactive. Shipbreakers was originally a crowdfunded, unrelated spiritual sequel to Homeworld, until Gearbox picked it up and retooled it as part of the universe.

$35 seems a tad steep for a pair of games that are more than a decade old at this point (and fifteen years for Homeworld), but between the graphical/UI upgrades and getting the original versions of both games patched for modern systems (which have never been released on the likes of GOG, etc.), it's not terrible. Plus, Homeworld is rightfully hailed as one of the greatest games ever made, and its formula of free-axis movement and space strategy has gone curiously under-imitated. So yes, color me excited, for the Age of S'jet is reborn.

Mankind's made an existence-long mission out of traveling to other planets and finding alien lifeforms. As this launch trailer for Grey Goo depicts, we might not necessarily like what we find.

The Petroglyph real-time strategy game launches this week, and that's when we can finally take hold of humanity's fight and conquer in the name of science. Or, you could control the Goo and wipe out anyone that dares challenge your stake to your home world. But, you should probably set up shop in man's corner; looks like we could use all the help we can get.

Kyle and I were just talking about how much we wanted a new Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. What a joy that was, all up close and personal. While we wait indefinitely on that dream to come true, there are plenty more videogame adaptations of Games Workshop properties on the way.

Focus Home Interactive has stepped up to publish Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, a real-time strategy PC title based on the tabletop miniatures game in which various Warhammer 40K races engage in space battles. Imperial, Chaos, Eldar, and Ork factions are confirmed for the videogame.

You'll be able to customize "all aspects" of your ships, according to the announcement. "From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ship for future, bigger and more dangerous battles."

Who's developing Armada? That's always the question with these Games Workshop projects. It's a studio named Tindalos Interactive, whose previous title Stellar Impact also had space combat.

There Came an Echo is Iridium Studios' second Kickstarter success, but as a more ambitious project it took a bit longer than Sequence to release after its crowdfunding campaign. Originally projected for a June 2014 release, it is now officially set to show up on Steam on February 24. That's a little over a month away!

Backers will be able to play the voice-controlled strategy game three days early. Personally, I'm excited to finally get some more time with it after it impressed me last year at PAX East. It even made honorable mention as one of my most anticipated games of this year.

I've tried to keep one eye on Blazing Griffin's lovely looking real-time space strategy game Distant Star: Revenant Fleet for a while now, however, the slippery devil somehow managed to sneak past me and make it onto Steam Early Access.

If you're first hearing about the title, it's been described as similar to the incredibly popular FTL, but on a much larger scale and instead of managing a crew, you'll be busy managing a fleet of ships through a dynamically generated galaxy.

Early reports are already coming in that Distant Star's difficulty curve is a bit on the high end of the scale at this stage with Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Alec Meer stating the game is "currently as hard as a really hard thing. Think of something hard. No, harder. Yeah, that's it."

Knowing that the Destructoid Community is no stranger to challenging games, I still thought it would be worthwhile to check in with Blazing Griffin's Scott Boyd and ask for a few pointers he'd suggest to those who might prefer to die just a bit less often in the game.

The designer of mobile puzzle sensation Threes (obligatory entrancing .gif here) has spoken about his next game, a real-time strategy title called Close Castles, on the PlayStation Blog. In it, players will expand their kingdoms while also trying to take down everyone else's.

This is a genre that has long struggled on consoles -- traditional RTS games don't feel quite right with a gamepad compared to a mouse and keyboard -- but Asher Vollmer is going for it. "Building the game for a controller has inspired me to make the controls as simple as possible," he says. "You move your cursor around the field and press a button to build structures. What you build and where you build it will determine you and your opponent's collective fate."

Matches take around three minutes on Close Castles' fastest setting. "The game is built for local multiplayer, so there's no hidden information. This means that the game feels a lot more like a fighting game at higher levels. It becomes about reading your opponent and turning the tiny cracks in their strategy into a crumbling pile of failure / rubble."

It's headed to "consoles" (PS4 for sure) in 2015. There should be footage this weekend.

Originally slated for a June 2014 release, then pushed back to October 2014, voice-controlled strategy game There Came an Echo is now projected to release by early February 2015. That's only a few months away! According to developer Iridium Studios, the script and voice recording is all complete, and now there is a trailer showing off the cast.

Most notable among the cast are Tabletop host Wil Wheaton as protagonist Corrin and longtime Destructoid favorite Ashly Burch as a shadowy overseer figure named Val. Others on the roster include Laura Bailey, Cindy Robinson, Yuri Lowenthal, and Cassandra Morris. All of those are highlighted in the video above, accompanied by a backing track that is recognizable as a work of Jimmy "Big Giant Circles" Hinson.

As a story trailer, it sets up some interesting questions. Resurrection/cloning/something sci-fi is implied with the line "You seem awfully afraid of death for someone who can just be brought back." The trailer ends with the line "She's always watching," which might refer to Burch's character Val.

It's an undeniably wonderful time to be a PC gamer if you're a fan of the cyberpunk genre. The last few years have produced a slew of high-quality titles on the platform with even more still on the smog-choked horizon.

One of my most anticipated titles is 5 Lives' Satellite Reign, the spiritual successor to Syndicate Wars. We've covered the hugely successful Kickstarter project on many occasions, but if you're still unfamiliar: Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game set in a dystopian future where mega-corporations control the world's governments and brutal corporate police patrol the streets, enforcing the will of their employers.

The studio's intention is to provide the player with a world that will facilitate emergent gameplay. It's completely up to you on how you'll approach the game's scenarios. Should your team charge in automatic rifles blazing or is high-tech infiltration more your speed? If things go to plan, both of these will be viable options, allowing you to play the game as you see fit.

With Early Access set to launch on Steam this December, 5 Lives has just released the trailer above showcasing the dangerous and darkly beautiful world of Satellite Reign. Pre-orders are available now at a ten percent discount if saving a bit of money's your thing. You can do so the on title's official page as well as at the Humble Store.

Being the bad guy has its perks. With an entire force of orcs, goblins, and other nasty creatures at your bidding, more gold you can count, and a near infinite supply of dark magic at your disposal -- it seems like you've got things pretty much handled in your conquest of the world. But fate seems to have other plans. And with a snarky disembodied voice mocking you and narrating your journey, it certainly looks like your quest for power will be a lot more difficult than you thought.

This is what you can expect in the upcoming sequel to Dungeons. During a private session at a press event by Kalypso Media, I got to spend some hands-on time with their upcoming Dungeon Keeping/RTS hybrid title Dungeons II, that aims to take a light-hearted and comedic approach to being the evilest villain in all the land.

The Breakers Resort and Boutique North Tower takes family fun seriously. For proof, look to the oversized interactive pirate ship docked by the lazy river. Spread over several buildings, efficiencies and suites cater to extended vacationers with necessities such as kitchens and washers and dryers. Balconies set the scene for relaxation to the sound of surf and seaside play.
Papa's serves made-to-order and buffet breakfasts and the Red Parrot Café incorporates kitschy touches via fisherman murals and pirate figurines. The Market Restaurant also dishes up a breakfast buffet and ocean views. Grab ice cream at the parlor or coffee at Starbucks.
Several buildings afford guest their pick of rooms, whether an efficiency or three-bedroom condo. Spaces celebrate the beachfront location with furnished balconies and bright tropical prints and hues. Units at the Breakers Resort and Boutique North Tower tend to creature comforts like HDTVs, free Wi-Fi and full kitchens or kitchenettes so guests can dine in. A compact refrigerator and microwave come in handy for storing and heating leftovers.
Parents should not be surprised if their children spend the whole day at the gigantic Pirate Ship -- complete with decks and bows for climbing and hollowed entryways for exploring the underbelly. Take a spin around the 418-foot lazy river, soak in the Jacuzzis or do laps in the indoor pool. A sauna and fitness center help patrons release toxins and endorphins.
Customers who viewed The Breakers Boutique North Tower also booked these hotels.

Mom and Daughter Getaway
The staff was great, very friendly and nice. Our room was oceanfront and awesome, just enough room for us. It was very clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Bringing in 2013 at the beach was cool Overall our stay was awesome and look
forward to going back :-). Thanks to the staff for making us feel at home.
good trip
over all, this is a good hotel to stay and it is worthy of your money. it is right to the beach and the best part is providing the free breakfast ever morning and breakfast is very various of options. I will definitely come back here soon.
Amazing hotel
This hotel was a steal for the price. Clean good breakfast and nice pool. Awesome lawn to look on to the beach.
unplanned overnight
Great place for the money, the continental breakfast could use real scrambled eggs not baked eggs.We are already thinking about next year and plan on spending the week there!! Thanks for making our night at Myrtle Beach enjoyable and seamless.
Weekend Getaway
The hotel was great. It was in a great location. The room was clean and had a great view of the ocean from our balcony.
Would not recommend
It was an ok experience my first time I would go back
great family getaway
Located right on the
Atlantic Ocean and in the center of Myrtle Beach close to so many attractions and shops. Great time! Great place!
softball trip
not bad for the money and for what the purpose of trip was....not the cleanness but doable
Great trip!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for an extended weekend vacation. We both loved it! It's a great hotel with a great location, perfectly situated right on the beach. The views were great. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Great golf trip
I have stayed here before because it is very close to Broadway on the Beach. This hotel is directly on the beach and offers complimentary breakfast also. Good value for the money.
Broadway on the beach
Breaker review
Hotel is old....furniture was even older and not comfortable to sit on. Room was in corner of building where opening in hall would blow cold air under door

la vie en rose.
Well I tried this for about a month and half and quit. Giving it another try! I grew up in Tampa and attended college in Michigan. I think I was shivering during 88% of my education.Therefore, I am not part of the whole SEC family! (I can fake a good rolllll tide roll or dawgs cheer when needed). I have lived in Atlanta just over 3 years and finally feel at home here. I am very outgoing, social, active and like to stay busy. Definitely a morning person. My career is important to me. I try to eat healthy and want to learn how to cook, soon! Love to meet new people, working out and coffee dates with my friends, happy hour, spending the afternoon poolside and planning trips to visit my friends out of state. Looking for someone who values: laughing together, investing time with their family, learning, time together (and apart), making one another happy, good conversation, a sense of humor..joking around is a must (non-negotiable!) and a good cup of coffee :) Adding to that..I'm interested in someone that respects my faith, is motivated, isn't looking for a one night stand and doesn't want to sit on the couch on a perfectly nice day - don't get me wrong though, that is needed once in awhile. My calendar stays busy and I hope I can find someone to add to it. I am not looking for a fling but not looking to jump into something serious immedietaly. I think it's important that a relationship grow naturally, even though it can feel like you know someone quickly after exchanging emails. ...bottom line just looking for a nice (normal) guy!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas
I like Dogs
where I can find my friends and have a good time!...but I pretty much like anywhere with a good happy hour during the work week and on the weekends it just depends who I am headed out and about with
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI
6am spin class (sometimes on a saturday I'm that girl..), Chicago, NYC, my friendships, planning trips, getting out of town, Sundays, positive people.

If you have a dark sky, try looking for the constellation Draco the Dragon, starting at nightfall. At mid-northern latitudes, Draco is a circumpolar constellation, meaning it is out all night long every night of the year. Make your acquaintance with the celestial Dragon on these summer evenings, at that time of year when the Dragon's flashing eyes look down upon you from up high in the northern sky.
EarthSky astronomy kits are perfect for beginners. Order yours today.
The chart at the top of this post – showing Draco – covers a lot more sky than our charts usually do. This serpentine star figure wanders in between the Big and Little Dippers, with its tail found between the bowl of the Big Dipper and the star Polaris.
I always notice the two stars in the Dragon's head when looking at the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra. If you're familiar with the Summer Triangle, draw an imaginary line from the star Altair through the star Vega to find the Dragon's eyes glaring at you from high overhead on July and August evenings. These two stars are Rastaban and Eltanin – lovely, romantic names for the Dragon's stars.
Watch Draco tonight as it circles around the North Star, Polaris.
Another noteworthy star in Draco is Thuban, which is high in the sky in the evening at this time of year. Thuban is an interesting star because – around 3000 B.C. – Thuban used to be the North Star.
The constellation Draco, by the way, has been associated with a dragon in many cultures. A Babylonian myth links Draco to the dragon god Tiamat, who was subdued by the god of the sun.

Check out this exclusive Carbonated.TV interview with the writers and directors of It's Kind of a Funny Story, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The film stars Zach Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist, Emma Roberts, and many more. In this interview, Anna and Ryan talk about staying in touch with your inner-child, what it's like to be glam rock stars for a day, and how they have top secret plans for the future. It's Kind of a Funny Story hits theaters October 8th.
Movie Synopsis:
It's Kind of a Funny Story, adapted from Ned Vizzini's 2006 novel of the same name, is the new comedy-drama from acclaimed writer/directors Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden (Half Nelson, Sugar).
It's @5:00 A.M. on a Sunday in Brooklyn. Craig Gilner (played by Keir Gilchrist of United States of Tara) is bicycling up to the entrance of a mental health clinic; this bright 16-year-old is stressed out from the demands of being a teenager. Before his parents (Lauren Graham [of Parenthood] and Jim Gaffigan [of Away We Go]) and younger sister are even awake, Craig checks himself into Argenon Hospital and is admitted by a psychiatrist. But the youth ward is temporarily closed -- so he finds himself stuck in the adult ward.
One of the patients, Bobby (Zach Galifianakis of The Hangover), soon becomes both Craig's mentor and protégé. Craig is also quickly drawn to another 16-year-old displaced to the adult ward, the sensitive Noelle (Emma Roberts of the upcoming Scream 4), who just might make him forget his longtime unrequited crush Nia (Zoë Kravitz of the upcoming Mad Max).
With a minimum five days' stay imposed on him by the adult ward's staff psychiatrist Dr. Eden Minerva (Academy Award nominee Viola Davis), Craig is sustained by friendships on both the inside and the outside as he learns more about life, love, and the pressures of growing up.

Both women are from the same family and Tuesday night their family members gathered to remember them and call for their killer or killers to come forward.
Since the escape of the two inmates, there's been a lot of criticism about the honor block in state prisons, but as Time Warner Cable News reporter Katie Gibas explains, a retired maximum security prison superintendent says it serves an important function.

Singer/Songwriter Natalia Safran's 'Say Goodbye' Single Out Now; Salon Series So Far a Success
Following the tragic death of her friend Paul Walker, whose final film she penned the title song for; Singer/Songwriter Natalia Safran vowed to give back to the community whenever possible. Recently she hosted the first ever Salon Series at her Beverly Hills residence. The evening featured an intimate performance by students from the Music Unites Centennial High School Jazz Ensemble, a program started last summer in the Compton Unified School District. Safran was joined by Actor/Director David Arquette (pictured left), "Rock of Ages" star Diego Boneta, KIIS FM's DJ Skee and others.
Safran's current single "SAY GOODBYE" from the motion picture thriller ANNA arrived in theaters this month and stars Mark Strong (Zero Dark Thirty, Low Winter Sun, Body of Lies), Taissa Farmiga (Bling Ring, America Horror Story) - heralded a rising new star by Sofia Coppola; and Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy, Red, Red 2). Camerawork on the US side of the video was by Dan Kneece (www.dankneece.com - Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet), director David Lynch's right hand, who also shot Safran's first video Big Wave on the Mojave Desert, on the very spot Tarantino filmed key KillBill scenes. Check it out below!
Singer and songwriter, Natalia writes, produces and performs her music with brother Mikolaj Mick Jaroszyk. Her debut album 'High Noon' was funded entirely by fans from all over the world via a crowdfunding music community Sellaband, where she quickly rose to the top of over ten thousand artists, in record time gathering $50,000 to produce her album.
Truly an international effort, the album was recorded in the US and Poland where Natalia is originally from. It contains 12 songs varying in vibe from chilled out pop to trip hop or as it has been called 'Rocker Chill'. A few of the tracks were co-produced by Kiran Shahani of Supreme Beings of Leisure and Bitter:Sweet and mixed by Rob Chiarelli (Madonna, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Shakira). One of the Shahani co-productions is 'Big Wave' with the video shot on the Mojave Desert by David Lynch's right hand man, cinematographer Dan Kneece (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks).
'High Noon' was released in Poland to great critical acclaim and commercial success. Within a few short weeks Natalia exploded onto the Polish music scene capturing the hearts and imaginationsof the Polish audience and critics alike, her face and sound becoming instantly recognizable. 'Hey You', the first single of the album, topped the radio charts ahead Adele, Colplay, and Florence and The Machine.
'Hey You' also graces the soundtracks of 'I Hate Valentine's Day' with Nia Vardalos and John Corbett and 'New in Town' with Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr., and it can be found on the film's soundtrack album.
Currently Natalia's songs can be heard in four movies- 'All I Feel Is You' as the official track of Paul Walker's last drama 'Hours'; 'The One For Me' in 'Best Night Ever' and on the soundtrack album of 'The Starving Games' and 'Say Goodbye' in the opening scene of the thriller 'Anna', out in theaters now.
Another one of Natalia's tracks will appear on Kiran Shahani's ButtonPusher album next to songs by such artists as Angela McCluskey (Telepopmusik), Lou lou (Thievery Corporation), and Kelli Ali (Sneaker Pimps).

Turn your iPhone into an old school rotary phone! Well not really, but with this felt case for your precious 3G phone you can at least make it look a bit like the rotary dial phone. Admittedly the case does look a bit rough and school-projecty, but conceptually and visually it is undeniably cute. And it will serve to protect your iPhone from scrapes and scratches which is the whole point of a case anyway, right? It even has a pocket in the back for headphones. So in review, it looks good and does it's job. Just like you.

Ice Cream Trucks Running Low on Frozen Favorites — Dollars and Sense
One of the most familiar sights of summer is the neighborhood ice cream truck. But thanks to a shortage of many popular frozen treats made by Good Humor, you may not be seeing those trucks quite as often in the months to come.


text: good hotel for the price. Nice sized pool and hotel room. great location pretty much in the middle of the main areas and about a 15min walk to the beach. friendly staff and the rooms were cleaned everyday so should be a safe bet if your looking to head to albufiera!

Mango Kale Donuts
By honestysprotege on January 31, 2013
Yes, I know. The title doesn't entice you to run to your kitchen to bake donuts. Trust me though. You'll be glad you did.
Ever since I made the kale chips, I've had this wild infatuation with all things kale. I went out and purchased a huge bag of it and have since made sautéed garlic kale and pasta for dinner, MORE kale chips and plain sautéed kale as a side dish. The Hero is concerned. Imagine his face when I said "I'm going to make kale donuts tonight." Screwed. Up.
But that didn't stop me. I knew it could be good and I trusted my instincts. I had to make a kale smoothie to replace the milk in my favorite donut recipe. I've been leery of messing with proportions because I'm scared of what will come out of the oven and I hate throwing things away. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to food.
I was going to go all out and make a plain kale smoothie, but I remembered I had a bag of frozen mango in the freezer and figured going in slowly to the healthy junk food revolution was the best way to go. I found a concoction that inspired me for the smoothie part of the recipe.
Then I got bold. I felt like I could change EVERYTHING in the recipe and see what happened. Throw caution to the wind and experiment. I came back to my senses though and decided this run would be with the smoothie substitution. Next time, I'll try something new.
The final product was a surprise. Even Mikey The Hero liked them. Next time I'm considering adding a mango glaze. But for now, we'll stick to the plain version. For The Hero.
Kale Mango Donuts
adapted from King Arthur Flour
For the smoothie mixture:
- 2 ounces kale
- 3 ounces mango
- 1½ cups milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon sugar
For the donuts:
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare donut pan, if necessary.
Make the smoothie:
Blend the kale, mango, 1 cup of milk and sugar in a blender. Measure out ½ cup of the mixture and blend with remaining ½ cup of milk. Set aside.
Make the donuts:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars till smooth.
Add the eggs, beating to combine.
Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
Stir the flour into the butter mixture alternately with the smoothie mixture, beginning and ending with the flour and making sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into the donut wells, filling the cups about ¼: shy of the rim.
Bake the donuts for 10 minutes, or until they're a pale golden brown.
Remove them from the oven, and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
