Accidentally Vegan Food List
Grocery stores carry an array of great-tasting vegan options, including some items that you might not know are vegan. "Accidentally vegan" foods are those that were not created intentionally to be marketed to vegan* eaters.
Please note that this list is just for U.S.-based products, as ingredients can vary by region. Companies frequently change their formulations, so read labels prior to purchasing. We are constantly updating this list, so if you know of a vegan product that isn't currently listed or if you find a product here that isn't vegan, please contact PETA.
Thank you, and happy munching!

*Items listed may contain trace amounts of animal-derived ingredients. While PETA supports a strict adherence to veganism, we put the task of vigorously reducing animal suffering ahead of personal purity. Boycotting products that are 99.9 percent vegan sends the message to manufacturers that there is no market for this food, which ends up hurting more animals.

this list really helped me. I live in a small town where there are limited vegan options and I am considering changing my lifestyle. I know most of the foods on here are not as healthy as I would like but it's nice to have the options. I didn't know that so many things in my regular supermarket are vegan. Thanks for the help!
I cant speak for others, but I know in the past week since I've begun my vegan diet and lifestyle, I have not tried to convert anyone. I have been too busy playing defense to even think about offense. This makes me wonder why vegans have a bad reputation for being combative. Maybe it's all the verbal and emotional abuse we suffer from "friends" and "loved ones" when we start living it. I honestly think it would have been easier for me to tell them if I were gay than this. I think they get that way because they dont want to think about what they're eating, they want to eat "in the dark", and I'm a reminder to them of the saturated fat they're eating? My best educated guess so far. I have repeated ad infinitum that I don't have a problem with what they eat, and really am not even asking their support, just to back off already with telling me I'll waste away, change my mind any day now, or flat out insulting my intelligence. Maybe it's considered a sin in texas to not eat cows, who knows. But my point is I can completely understand any vegan feeling combative. As far as militantly trying to recruit, not me. As I told my family, I demand their respect if they want to continue to be invited into my home. I will settle for nothing less, and at this point expect nothing more. After my first few months, if I don't begin getting support from you (my family) then I will begin to question the purpose in you visiting me.
I am doing research so I can make the first step to becoming vegan, and this list is a great start for me! I live in a small southern town, so I am pretty much on my own with this lifestyle, and knowing what I can buy that is currently available to me is going to helpful for the first few months of my transition, while I keep looking at larger cities (a few hours away mind you) for healthier options. We honestly have a wal-mart and a food lion in our town. This list (as unhealthy as it is) is very helpful to me!
I didn't read all of the comments, but I can imagine…I agree, it doesn't help the cause by being a food snob or militant. It really turns people away from helping in any way they can. I first learned about some foods I never imagined had animal products (marshmallows and mints that have gelatin, worcestershire sauce that has anchovies etc) until I saw some similar lists years ago. I pass along the information as I find it. Yes, a list like this helps people who are transitioning to vegan, vegetarian, or even 'flexitarian' as some call themselves. Would I love to see a whole vegan society? Of course I would. But in the mean time, whatever can be done to knock out the cruelty and terrible living conditions would be paramount. Education…calmly, compassionately (you know, the same way we would like to treat animals?) bringing awareness to issues. Speak with passion, but no one will listen when we point a finger saying 'You are wrong!' And of course, lead by example…
lol guys. this is a list of common foods that most people wouldn't think are vegan but are. PETA isn't telling people to eat all this stuff. PETA is telling people that going vegan is easier than people think, and that the food a lot of everyone eats already is vegan. PETA isn't telling people to compose a diet of this stuff. thank you for making this peta
I read all 29 pages of comments and I have to say that I am floored for a number of reasons.
1. Many of you think you know more than anyone else and go to great lengths to make sure people know it.
2. Veteran vegans should understand that this list is should be used for those making the transition or those shopping for vegans so that the excuse that "vegans have nothing to eat" isn't valid. That and some people just don't like to cook. That's on them.
3. I think most of us, though we have good intentions, need to take a really deep breath and remember that each of our efforts is good for the animals' sake. We each do our part to be vegan as best we can't and we should not be judging each other.
I find this list to be a huge help. As I develop my own favorite easy to make recipes that use easy to find ingredients, I can sympathize with those who don't have to luxury some do to go out and shop at farmer's markets, pick their own fruit and vegetables or belong to a co-op. One thing at a time or we will all burnout by spreading ourselves too thin for the sake of the animals. If we did that, what good would our efforts be?

Ah…J-Roc and Michelle…right you are. This attitude of food snobbery does not sit well with many and is indeed a HUGE turn off. You would think those who read the entire article, including the caveat at the bottom, would have the common sense to keep the negativity to themselves…then again…common sense is not so common anymore.
COME ON, PEOPLE! Just because there's not dairy or eggs doesn't make it vegan! AT ALL!
MONO and DIGLYCERIDES are made from cow or pig fat– UNLESS it says "vegetable derived." There are eight billion other things included in all these foods that are animal derived, and no matter how small, makes it NOT vegan.
Maybe the asterisk could say "this list is to show people that cutting meat (this includes chicken and fish, the definition of meat is flesh of an animal and last I checked chickens and fish were animals), dairy, and eggs out of your diet isn't hard."
I appreciate the effort PETA, but I came to this list thinking that it would make shopping at the 24hour Wegmans easier, but if anything it made it worse.
Crisco "All vegetable shortening" contains mono- and di-glycerides, given that there are 5 ingredients in the whole thing, I think this deems is 100% not vegan. In addition, the "antioxidants" listed as the last ingredient are petroleum-based and terribly, terribly unhealthy.
Jesus Christ you guys! Some of these comments are ridiculous and it's this "headier than thou" bullshit is why majority of people don't care to learn about alternative foods. I swear, vegans and religious people trying to push their ways on people all the time make me sick. If you think you're any better of a person than someone else, because your eating habits none the less, you need to take the tofu stick out of your butt and go re-evaluate your life. Thats's all true speak ya heard?
Please help these people finish their documentary about how awful dairy is for us and for the environment:
Reading a lot of the comments here…I realize these foods are, for the most part, quite unhealthy. I also realize most are made with refined sugar which, as we know, is made with bone char. At the same time, instead of being food snobs and saying "well, *I* only buy organic and sustainable foods from local markets"…let's be happy that lists like this exist to help those who would otherwise not give veganism a try. Sure, many of us "purists" wouldn't touch these items. But people such as my husband, who think vegan food is wheatgrass smoothies and tofu, look at this list and it makes them think of veganism in a whole new light. And I'm thankful for that.
Rachel, it's wonderful that you are 80% raw and all organic and rha rha rha. Most of us who have been vegan for a while wouldn't eat this stuff. PETA is just trying to make the point that you don't have to go to such measures to be vegetarian/vegan. it can actually be easy, and you can even keep some vices.
Jello Instant Pudding has started putting asterisks on their products saying not to use no dairy milks because the pudding won't set up. But I just made some and it sets up perfect =D why must they fib
Aren't american Smarties made by Mars ??
I wouldn't consume any of these products, most refined sugars are processed with bone char. I'm also 80% raw, I rarely eat refined, processed, or cooked food, and most of what I buy is organic. I can't even imagine how much sodium is in all of this crap.
@ questioner
There are plenty of non-dairy milks out there for vegans to have with their cereal like rice, soy, or almond milk. They are readily available in most grocery stores. Where've ya been?
As for Hershey's syrup, that's great for drinking straight from the bottle or for putting on vegan ice cream. Yeah, they really make that stuff!
Yay for Vegan treats!!!
what about refined sugar? Does anything on the list contan that? I would think the candy would?
I would like to get this list in a little booklet form to put in my purse.
Food Lion Animal Cookies… really? really? Hahaha!
You don't have to be vegi to be healthy. Meat specially, white, is not bad. Our body needs food for it's muscles. But of course, feasting with meat diet is dangerous. But again if you are a vegi or meat lover, try your food with 3C sauce to have a very healthy and tastful meal.
The uncrustables peanut butter and strawberry jam is NOT vegan as it contains L-cysteine. It is an amino acid which can come from sheep and duck feathers. Sometimes it is also microbially formed through the creation of the crust – as in pizza or flour tortillas.
@sweetd The instant pudding mix doesn't have any dairy in it; it's the milk that makes it non-vegan. Just use soy milk instead of regular milk or even hot water.
There's a book called "Animal Ingredients A-Z" that you can purchase on Amazon but you can also just check out these links:
I am a new vegan, and have some questions. Fist how can you eat the instant pudding isnt there dairy in there? Second I was wondering if there is a book that will help me understand what is vegan and what isnt when I am out grocery shopping.. Thank you
A lot of this stuff, though it is vegan, is also unhealthy.
To Nun ya; taco seasoning is good in rice, refried beans, and with Boca Crumbles to make tacos. The unfortunate part is the added ingredients that aren't necessary in the seasoning. The recipe book "Vegan Comfort Food" has a great recipe for homemade taco seasoning. I'm sure other recipes can be found on the web or in other cook books.
Nun Ya – it is NOT dumb to have taco seasoning listed because I use taco seasoning on my black beans, as well as soy-crumbles (which are LIKE ground beef but meat free… soooo yummy cooked in taco seasoning!!!) TRY IT
Look at "Veganomicon" Best cookbook you will ever see:) A must have! I, myself, am not vegan. Though I live with some who are. We all enjoy this book so much! And everything(ingredients) are sold at Safeway, Costco, Albetsons, Winco, Trader Joe's, Red Apple, Grocery Outlet, and most other grocery stores:)
Hope that's helpful for all of you:)
P.S. most of the recipes in the book are really healthy!
I emailed Pop Secret about their Homestlye flavor and they wrote me back and said it WASN'T VEGAN! They stated it contained a small amount of butter.
I agree that these may be considered vegan. but shouldn't we promote organic, sustainable, etc? the best thing you can do is use only fresh fruits vegetables, fresh or dried spices, some oils and different dried staples like quinoa etc.
trying to make the change….the list helped SOOOOOO much you have no idea!!! thank you!!!! ;0)
Why buy packaged foods at all? I buy most of the things I eat at a farmers' market and cook them in some simple way. Deborah Madison has an excellent cookbook called "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" that I can recommend to anyone who is not familiar with it. Alice Waters also has a book called "Chez Panisse Vegetables" that I find useful. Many of the recipes in both books are simple.
Smuckers Uncrustables Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam is vegan!
But are all Smuckers jam and jelly vegan ?
Do they contain carmine ?
It is kinda dumb to have taco seasoning on here for meat when you don't eat meat…LOL
this is a list of foods vegans can eat, even though almost all of this food is unhealthy
If you minus dairy, gelatin, honey and eggs, this stuff can all be vegan. What about all the foods that have sugar that has been processed with bone char? That might eliminate a good many of the items on this list.
I would like to hear more about the refined sugar issue….If I am going to do this I want to do it right!!!
I found a Goya ready-made FLAN but it had milk and eggs. You might want to double check that and remove it from the list.
All of Duncan Hines cake mixes are also vegan:)
What about soy milk anyone?
Most of the things I've seen have animal products in them that a vegetarian wouldn't even dare eating, I think it's completely incorrect to list them in a Vegan food list. This site is unreliable. I would never expect this from Peta.
Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, Mike & Ikes (the green box) and Eclipse Mints are also vegan. I emailed the companies and they sent back very detailed explanations of their ingredients, sources and food processes.
By the way, there are some plant-based gelatins, so you just have to read and research a company and its products for certainty on what you can and can not eat.
It says general mills cheerios under dry breakfast silly lol
This statement, included at the bottom of your article does not make sense — seems it should have the word "not" between "that are" and "99.9 percent" to mean products that are not 99.9 percent vegan should be boycotted. See this:"Boycotting products that are 99.9 percent vegan sends the message to manufacturers that there is no market for this food,…"
How can these companies call their products what they are? Ice cream isn't ice cream without cream, chicken-free chicken patties? I JUST read an article about some lawsuit against TacoBell regarding the % of 'beef product' in their beef. Apparently, there was a lot of water and seasoning, so they can't call it 'beef.'
Jello is simply the brand name for the pudding. there's alot of great vegan recipes that use Jello pudding! its awesome as a replacement for milk in some baking too!
Don't accidentally ingest a magnet folks. Because magnets, as you know align with the magnetic poles which regulate our planet's gravitational fields. These fields change depending on things that we don't really understand. Plus, our brains are susceptible to magnetic influence as any radiologist technician will tell you. Funny how so many of these workers have horrendously bad dreams on a regular basis. Coincidence? Yeah, right. Can't ingest a magnet you say? Oh really. Well here's a wake up call. Every single food item you buy from the grocery is exposed to magnetized ink. First, when it is bulk packed, then when it is warehoused. Finally, when it is run through the store's register. Yes, the scanner is a laser. But the ink itself on the UPC is almost always composed of a magnetized film material so it maintains its tight tolerances. Since exposure is cumulative, each dose a person gets keeps adding to the total. Eventually, there are almost certainly health consequences. Don't believe me? Look at the incidence of weird brain tumors, and especially those showing up in clusters in certain communities. Another coincidence? Sure, yeah. So, while you're keeping your guard up against meat-related materials consider yourself warned and try to avoid magnets like the plague.
Its very hard for me to understand this vegan lifestyle. Humans were designed to eat both meats and vegetables which is the reason why our teeth are both sharp and flat. Also what is being harmed by eating honey? Its just some sugar processed by bees? This is the craziest idea I have ever seen. I couldnt live without a nice piece of steack or chicken every once in a while.

If you give it more than two arguments, say (a b c), you will get the result: a = true OR b = true = true OR c = true Instead, use the :key option to REDUCE or move the addition of "~a = true" into the MAPCAR. If you only wanted this to work for 0, 1, or 2 arguments, then replacing REDUCE with APPLY will make the above code work. Also, STRING-DOWNCASE takes a string designator, so the use of SYMBOL- NAME is unnecessary. -- Kevin Reid <http://switchb.org/kpreid/>

Chemical Sensing on the Phone
Disposable lab-on-a-chip chemical assay unit with cell phone camera readout for autonomous use
There is growing demand for point-of-care diagnosis worldwide using low-cost, autonomous, and disposable devices. Scientists in Sweden have developed a disposable lab-on-a-chip unit that is manufactured by 3D printing technique and equipped with an integrated 3D-printed optical lens system which serves as an interface for direct readout by any regular cell phone camera. As the scientists report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their device reliably performs quantitative chemical sensing, and the prototype is designed for colorimetric detection of the glucose concentration in a clinically relevant range.

It's a beautifully rendered tribute that also channels the core message in what Pickering rightly calls "the greatest secular fable of human redemption ever written": our ability to change and grow, playing many roles and living multiple lives, if we can but open our hearts to the love and dedication of those many people challenging us to be our best selves. »Read Full Article

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
NFL analyst Miller considers Brees the league's best
Former NFL quarterback Jim Miller is among the legion of NFL analysts in Green Bay covering the Saints at Packers game.
Miller, 40, is an analyst for NFL Radio on SiriusXM, one of the broadcasting jobs he has been handling in recent years. Miller, who played college football at Michigan State, is an analyst on Spartans football radio broadcasts. He also is an analyst for Comcast Sports Net coverage of the Chicago Bears.
In an interview before the game, Miller said he likes the Packers to win the NFC North, but he likes the Saints to win the NFC Championship. He thinks the Saints have a better team this season than the one that won the Super Bowl two seasons ago.
He also ranked the current NFL quarterbacks he considers the best in the NFL:
- Drew Brees, New Orleans ("His statistics back it up. He has thrown for more yards since 2007 than any other quarterback, close to 23,000 yards. He's number one in completion percentage since 2007)."
- Peyton Manning, Indianapolis
- Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay
- Tom Brady, New England
- Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh
Miller said he gives Rodgers the edge in arm strength and mechanics, but favors Brees in the "cerebral" part of the game.
"The mental part of the game, I like where Drew Brees is at," Miller said. "He is afforded more luxury at the line of scrimmage to get the best play at the line of scrimmage. He can check in and out of plays – not that Aaron Rodgers can't. But in a west coast system those hots are built in and Drew Brees almost has the playbook at his fingertips, where he is audibling quite a bit. So I give the cerebral edge a little bit more to Drew Brees because I have watched a lot of tape on him and it's pretty amazing some of the plays he audibles his team into to get the big play."

Last year, top-seeded Duke lost to fifth-seeded Michigan State in the regional semis. In 2003, No. 3 seed Duke lost to No. 2 seed Kansas in the semis. In 2002, top-seeded and defending national champion Duke was stunned by No. 5 seed Indiana in the semis. (In 2004, top-seeded Duke did beat No. 5 Illinois and then No. 7 Xavier to make the Final Four.)
Given that recent precedent, the Blue Devils' road to the Final Four looks daunting. First up is No. 4 seed LSU and its powerhouse front line. Should Duke escape that challenge, it will face either No. 2 Texas or No. 6 West Virginia. History says the Dookies will be rooting for the Mountaineers in that one.
Connecticut On paper, no top seed has it easier at this stage than UConn. The Huskies don't have anyone seeded higher than fifth left between them and the Final Four, and none of the Little Three in D.C. -- Washington, Wichita State and George Mason -- has any meaningful pedigree of March success.
George Mason had never won an NCAA Tournament game prior to last week. Washington last made the Final Four in 1953. Wichita State is the tradition-soaked member of the Little Three, making a regional final in 1981 and the Final Four in 1965.
(Of course, in the mid-60s all it took to make the Final Four was two wins. Once the Shockers reached the Final Four they gave up 226 points in two losses, back in the time of the third-place game).
But as easy as things look on paper for UConn, it should be noted that the Huskies also have struggled more than any other No. 1 seed this tournament. They've won their last six games as a top seed, dating back to 1999, but it's been ugly and anxiety-ridden this time around.
They trailed No. 16 seed Albany by 12 midway through the second half, and didn't put away No. 8 Kentucky until the final minute. If it weren't for point guard Marcus Williams, UConn would be eliminated by now.
So the Huskies will have to play better to beat an explosive Washington team, then avoid what would be an epic choke in a regional final against one of the two Cinderellas left in D.C. If UConn doesn't make it to Indy, it will have some explaining to do.
Villanova The Wildcats look like they're in the toughest spot in Minneapolis.
First up is old Big East brethren Boston College, which has a front line that should be a matchup nightmare for Nova. In BC's 6-foot-10 shot blocker Sean Williams, 250-pound power forward Craig Smith and rugged 6-7 Jared Dudley, Villanova's MidgetBall team will be up against it inside.
Of course, the converse will be true as well: BC's big guys will have to chase Villanova's little guys around the floor, and popular math says that 3-point shots count for more than two. But the Wildcats still are fighting decades of precedent that says size matters in basketball.
If Villanova should beat Boston College and advance to its first regional final since 1988, it will find more matchup issues there.
If the opponent is Florida, the Wildcats must contend with athletic big men Joakim Noah and Al Horford. And the Gators do not lack perimeter quickness, either.
Or if the opponent is Georgetown, Villanova gets to guard 7-2 Roy Hibbert and 6-9 forwards Jeff Green and Brandon Bowman. Nova did beat the Hoyas by 10 during the regular season, but Georgetown is playing better since then.
History tells that some combination of these four top seeds is going down short of Indianapolis -- and this is no time to argue with history. We just don't know which teams won't make it, or who knocks them off.

Wal-Mart V. Dukes Ruling Is out of Sync with 21st-Century Sex Discrimination
Martin, Courtney E, The Christian Science Monitor
In Wal-Mart v. Dukes, the Supreme Court set a dangerous precedent when it ruled that the women in the class action suit could not prove a common culture of sex discrimination. But sexism is no longer written in official policy. It's engrained in culture.
The Supreme Court's ruling in favor of "the world's biggest boss," as GritTV's Laura Flanders put it, in the Wal-Mart v. Dukes sex discrimination class action lawsuit this week is a major blow to working women across America. And perhaps even more important, it's a sign that some of the esteemed judges on our nation's highest court need a primer in how contemporary discrimination functions.
The court decided 5-4 that up to 1.5 million former and current female employees couldn't file suit against Wal-Mart together as a class because there was scant evidence of institutionally sanctioned or organized discrimination by the company. But women make up over 65 percent of hourly employees at Wal-Mart, and only 34.5 percent of managers. In other words, Wal-Mart - like so many of America's biggest businesses - has a gender and leadership problem.
In his majority opinion, however, Justice Antonin Scalia argued that numbers like these, coupled with stories about the widespread exclusion of and humiliation of women, didn't constitute discrimination because, well, Wal-Mart has a non-discrimination policy.
Further, he wrote that Wal-Mart's policy of allowing discretion by local supervisors in employment practices - importantly, uncharacteristic of the corporation's overall micromanaging style - was "just the opposite of a uniform employment practice that would provide the commonality needed for a class action; it is a policy against having uniform employment practices."
A lesson in 21st century discrimination
Apparently Mr. Scalia needs a lesson in 21st century discrimination. This is a time in which discrimination of all kinds doesn't usually advertise itself on "white's only" water fountain signs and "woman wanted" ads for secretary positions in Sunday's neighborhood newspaper. It's a time when racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination are entrenched in our culture - insidious, covert, often subtle. It's a time when the distribution of power - money, jobs, influence - is almost entirely dependent on informal relationships born of a still alarmingly segregated society.
It's not company rules that most brave working women have to challenge these days; it's informal and widespread exclusion. As Rinku Sen wrote in ColorLines magazine: "Certainly, there has been some blatantly sexist behavior among Wal-Mart managers...but mostly, Wal-Mart's system runs on silence."
At Wal-Mart, as with so many American companies, men speak the private language of promotion and negotiation, while women are left confused as to where the pipeline to power and new opportunities even starts. With women still taking on the majority of caretaking responsibilities, their second shift often prevents them from doing the kind of after-hours bonding necessary, were their male managers even willing to bring them into the "inner circle."
Culture is hard to legislate, but it's a real factor
Culture, of course, is harder to discuss, legislate, and change than policies, but that doesn't mean that our nation's highest court is off the hook. …

Customer Reviews of Toshiba DR570 DVD Player/Recorder
Toshiba DVD recorder5/7/2012
Product in very good condition. Only missing user's manual and batteries for remote.
Excellent tuner5/1/2012
Bought this refurbished unit primarily to use digital tuner for digital cable signal for CRT tv. The signal is beautiful. The burner on this unit is audibly creaky, but burners on dvd recorders over time are all problematic whether the unit is new or a refurb. It comes with 90 day warranty, and it qualifies for extended warranties, which is a great safeguard.
This is the fourth Dvd-r of this model Toshiba that I have bought. Never had a problem, I do a lot of recording from TV, playback is always good. This one is a recondition one, a first for me, so time will tell. I guess this model is old, so not making them anymore. A great machine.
Excellent dvd player/recorder w/ tuner.1/1/2011
I had bought a refurbished unit and was quite pleased with how easy it was to set up and record shows. The only thing I wished it had that my broken Panasonic had was a Menu listing of recorded shows on the DVD.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Either Ndamukong Suh just got away with murder (ok, just a little kick), or his leg went mysteriously up in the air in an akward manner as Matt Schaub's acorn sack collided with his foot; just a simple misunderstanding. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said at a Lions charity event Tuesday night that it's very difficult for the league to know exactly if DT Suh's intent was to kick Schaub in the groin, according to the Associated Press (via SI.com). No official word has been announced, and we take Goodell's audience into account - a Lions charity event, but it looks like Suh will escape without a fine.

My case for Half-Life 2
By dvaeg 2 Comments
I'm currently replaying Half-Life 2 for the fourth time. I decided to put some of my thoughts to paper while I did this.
The Case
Most everyone has a favorite game, and mine is Half-Life 2. All things being equal, I consider it the greatest game ever made. After seeing a nice long thread about
those for whom this is decidedly not true, I thought I'd take some time to lay out a case for crowning Valve's magnum opus with the title it deserves.
A caveat: Games are subjective, regardless if you view them as hobbies, entertainment, art or any combination of the three. I mean no disrespect to those who disagree, but such is the destiny for those on the Internet, to endlessly debate the relative worth of our baubles.
Half-Life 2 exists as an amalgamation of genres and individually successful set pieces that, when taken as a whole, engages the player is numerous ways that are not native to the medium. Although there are tactile responses in the shooting and physics-based puzzles, and there is exposition that is professionally acted out for your benefit, Valve intertwined a significant amount of literary devices to further enhance the game's interactivity, even when the player isn't interacting back.
Why the story is good
To start, Gordon Freeman's role as the silent protagonist allows for breaking the fourth wall – a literary device where characters speak directly to the audience, enlisted them in the action. Although commonplace now, HL2 implements this device in a decidedly different way. You (Gordon) have a history, but there is only one significant portion of it that you didn't live through yourself – going to MIT. Every other defining characteristic of the player is on display either directly through your actions or known to you by the reactions you receive. You know that you (Gordon) have a meaning in the environment because you are recognized as a savior by the people. It is no accident that you are referred to as "The One Free Man", because you alone in a game that is soaked with oppression and slavery make a path for yourself and reject your shackles. You are both empowered and empowering with your moniker, and it's put to good use from the first steps you take. At nearly every point where you encounter an NPC, they reflect back at you the expectations of the game in how you proceed forward. This formal patterning establishes through repetition that you (Gordon) are more than an everyman, a space marine, or some special ops hero. Small touches bring levity to the weight upon your shoulders, seen most prominently when the Vortigaunt praises you for learning so quickly – "In this, as all things, the Freeman excels".
Speaking of your first steps, note how the citadel towers over the city from the moment you leave the train depot. This too is no accident, as until then your enemies have been faceless humanoids, abusing and degrading your kind for some unknown purpose. The citadel, with its obsidian/metallic finish becomes the personification of this oppression, and it's visible in the distance in almost every area. It's subtle foreshadowing, as you are lead far away and then right back into the citadel to face its horrors, it's a clear method of a framing device, important as bookends for your journey. In fact, the action pushes you in a grand circle around the citadel itself, forcing you to flee on foot, hovercraft and dune buggy, but both away from and right towards the monolithic structure.
Did you notice something else when you stepped out of the train? How about when you made it to the courtyard outside? There are TVs everywhere with Dr. Breen's face, telling you about your location, the expectations and giving you insight to what you missed in your several year sleep. This incluing allows you to be brought up to speed throughout your journey, as well as providing you with a foil that will haunt you throughout the game. It's no accident that the Seven Day War is over when you wake up. City 17 is under martial law, Ravenholm is lost…and here you are, right in the middle. In Media Res, provides you with immediate access to the action and supports the incluing by allowing you to pick up the past while moving forward through the story.
Throughout all this there are numerous other stand-ins to support the storytelling and propel it forward, what makes this work so well is how you are party to the action, but it rarely happens to you as the player. The betrayal of Eli and Alyx has little meaning to Gordon himself, but since it happens to the NPCs you care for, they can demonstrate its impact on your behalf. If you give yourself a chance, you can read into Alyx's personality by her relationship with her father, and the personification of her able bodyguard, Dog. She rubs his face like a real dog, but you know deep down that a pet is a luxury the people can no longer afford.
The Action
So here we have a story that liberally borrows mechanics from other medium, employing them to bring you (Freeman) into the fold. You meet old friends, new friends, and the game world unfolds before you piecemeal, each component adding a new dimension. The environments are actually structured to support your growth as a player – they start with your exile from City 17, escape after escape from more powerful enemies. You move to Ravenholm, where you alone (barring Father Grigori) face the undead masses, a thing of nightmares that forces you to toughen up. The journey then brings back into the city, making you travel long distances by vehicle to stage an escape, empowering you and the masses towards the final uprising and victory at the top of the citadel itself.
All of this is done within the confines of what was at the time a marvel of technological triumph. The physics engine, the facial engine and the tactile nature of the shooting made for a trifecta of shooting and gaming mechanics that became the norm for the genre. By purposefully never revealing Freeman into the 3 person, your immersion is complete and total, when booting up the game you exist solely within the game's construct, and are bound by its rules.
When complete, there is no final resolution. Though it toys with deus ex machina as its final literary device, Half Life 2 stays true to itself to the end. The world is fully realized, but all you know is only what has been shown to you through your journeys. There is more, much more that is left unsaid, unresolved, and undiscovered. Like real life, you cannot hope to know and master it all, but you can only hope to carve your own path and inspire others with your actions.
But even today? Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Half-Life 2 was released with great anticipation 6 years ago (as of this writing). Games have come a long way since then, but there's a reason that Half-Life 2 still sits atop the best of lists. Games, like all great artistic mediums, will grow in sophistication and test new boundaries as it becomes more commonplace. Music, sculpture, books, films and philosophy have all become mainstays of the human experience, and games have too. Although video games are in their infancy, they are actually another step in the advancement of games as art. This long lineage evolved from chess, go, sports and Monopoly. Though it takes place on a video screen, at its core it is the same as all games, but with greater reliance on and influence from other mediums. It splits the difference between books and films, offering longer commitments than a movie, but more tactile response than a book. In both cases, and especially with films, new works of art are made each year, but they all owe homage to the seminal releases of yesteryear, their fore bearers in many different ways. The Godfather was a great film, but so was Citizen Kane. You and I might place different titles at the top of our lists, but by being at or near the top year after year, they both become something larger than today's hits.
Half-Life 2 has earned that place for a reason.

Every summer, visitors flock to Scotland's capital city as it plays host to the Edinburgh International Festival, a highlight of the European cultural calendar bringing together the world's leading practitioners in opera, theatre, music and dance. Founded in 2000 by two University of Edinburgh graduates, Delphian Records looks set to make a comparable impact in the world of classical music recording. Motivated by a clear and focused artistic vision, the label has built determinedly on its foundations in specialised and often rarely-visited areas of repertoire. Musical treasures both old and new are uncovered by artists of international calibre. Delphian has developed relationships with some of the UK's finest composers, organists, choirs and chamber ensembles, and the resulting recordings are produced by a dedicated team of talented engineers, writers and designers. Browse Delphian's releases to explore the individual – the different. Follow the unfolding story of Delphian's catalogue in-progress, which continues to expand on a consistent schedule of two releases per month. Allow yourself to sample what has quickly and unanimously won over critics around the globe. Our passions can be yours, too. Share in them, and come to know THE LABEL IN THE FESTIVAL CITY.
DELPHIAN'S CATALOGUE IS, WITHOUT DOUBT, ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AMONG THE GROWING NETWORK OF SMALLER BRITISH RECORDING LABELS. THE FREQUENCY OF RELEASES AND THE STUNNING BREADTH OF REPERTOIRE ARE MAJOR FACTORS IN THAT. AND THERE'S A SENSE OF THE DARING THAT YOU SIMPLY DON'T GET WITH THE TATTERED REMNANTS OF THE ESTABLISHED MULTI-NATIONAL GIANTS.' — The Scotsman

moreIrish Media: A Critical History maps the landscape of media in Ireland from the foundation of the modern state in 1922 to the present. Covering all principal media forms, print and electronic, in the Republic and in Northern Ireland, John Horgan shows how Irish history and politics have shaped the media of Ireland and, in turn, have been shaped by them.
Beginning in a country ravaged by civil war, it traces the complexities of wartime censorship and details the history of media technology, from the development of radio to the inauguration of television in the 1950s and 1960s. It covers the birth, development and - sometimes - the death of major Irish media during this period, examining the reasons for failure and success, and government attempts to regulate and respond to change. Finally, it addresses questions of media globalisation, ownership and control, and looks at issues of key significance for the future.
Horgan demonstrates why, in a country whose political divisions and economic development have given it a place on the world stage out of all proportion to its size, the media have been and remain key players in Irish history. less

Hello! It's a pleasure to joinI'm a full time Graphic Design student (my 50th birthday present to me) and it is a dream come true.
I love it all and I'm looking forward to learning by listening, and asking when I need to. I'm taking Photoshop and InDesign along with Photography, Design 1 and Drawing. My biggest challenge right now is my grey value scale(11) for Design 1 (I do love the guache my instructor required) My background is working with fabric, so I understand color. I'm going for perfect increments because training my eye to see it will be invaluable. I'm just not there yet...I'm enjoying the process...InDesign is online and that's a bit tricky. The program is brand new to me, and I know I'm spending hours on things that should be easier...Our book is Revealed, I use the Help a lot but I'd love a couple of reference library referrals to add to my stash. Thanks, and I'll try to be less verbose and more concise...
I'm just really glad to be here!Last edited by svd; 09-02-2006, 03:44 PM.Tags: None
Welcome to the forum svd, and congratulations on being able to pursue your dream.
You'll find a lot of invaluable advice on here. Check the Adobe products section often, use the forum search for InDesign, and definitely check out this link: InDesign Secrets.
If you have iTunes, there are also some good podcasts on InDesign that you can check out, and the Adobe InDesign forum is also a good place to go for resources.
Good luck, and once again, welcome!"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" - Ricky Ricardo
