Hearthstone has won over the PC Gamer office in a big way: Tyler loves the game a little too much , and we've devoted a lot of time to explaining the best decks , the best cards , and even celebrating a little fan art . We're eagerly awaiting the new singleplayer adventure mode, Curse of Naxxramas, in part because it's an opportunity to earn some awesome, brand-new cards.
Blizzard announced two of the new cards through its various social media tendrils. The first, Rebirth, is a spell that hits the reset button on a wounded minion. It's perfect for those big-hitting heavies that take a few turns to finally die. Let them take a few hits and then pop them back to life. It's a good thing Hearthstone has no in-game chat, because this would surely frustrate an opponent into some choice obscenities.
Duplicate is a new secret card for you mage deck, and it's also perfect when paired with a rare or powerful minion. Add it in secret, and when your opponent finally kills your damage-absorbing bruiser, you get two more copies of that minion delivered directly to your hand. Like a hydra, when you strike one down, two more grow in its place. Devastating.
The Curse of Naxxramas will be available for Hearthstone players this summer. While you wait, start brushing up on your deck strategies so you can head to BlizzCon and compete in the quarter-million-dollar grand prize tournament .

I love Queen Anne
Traveling and people are pretty important parts of my life. I've took a trip around the world and lived in several different countries. I'd say the important thing to me about a relationship is the connection I have with a person. I don't want someone so I have security, rather it's because we fit together really well and make each other really happy. I'm a very passionate person...which works both ways (when its good, its good; when its bad, it can get bad). The things I care about, I'd do anything for and not really think twice about (i.e. family, traveling, the earth). I value intelligence. I think its great to go out and have fun and waste time, but that can't be the entire basis of a relationship.

The Wrinkle In The ACA Decision
"What chumps!"
-- Chief Justice John Roberts, June 29, 2015
WASHINGTON -- Roberts' intellectual complexity does not prevent him from expressing himself pithily, as he did with those words when dissenting in a case from Arizona. Joined by Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, Roberts' dissent should somewhat mollify conservatives ...Read more
Some GOP Candidates Becoming Unhinged
WASHINGTON -- In 1824, in retirement 37 years after serving as the Constitutional Convention's prime mover, James Madison, 73, noted that the 1787 "language of our Constitution is already undergoing interpretations unknown to its founders." He knew that the purport of the text would evolve "with the changeable meaning of the words composing it."...Read more
The Damaging Doctrine of John Roberts
WASHINGTON -- Conservatives are dismayed about the Supreme Court's complicity in rewriting the Affordable Care Act -- its ratification of the IRS' disregard of the statute's plain and purposeful language. But they have contributed to this outcome. Their decades of populist praise of judicial deference to the political branches has borne this ...Read more
Statements for Candidate Clinton in the Form of Questions
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton's reticence is drowning out her message, which is that she is the cure for the many ailments that afflict America during a second Democratic presidential term. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has called her "the most opaque person you'll ever meet in your life," but when opacity yields to the necessity of answering ...Read more
Let Greece Go
WASHINGTON -- Now come Greeks bearing the gift of confirmation that Margaret Thatcher was right about socialist governments: "They always run out of other people's money." Greece, from whose ancient playwrights Western drama descends, is in an absurdist melodrama about securing yet another cash infusion from international creditors. This would ...Read more
Mcdonald's, The 'Progressive Burger Company'
WASHINGTON -- In January, McDonald's, leaning against the winds of fashion, said kale would never replace lettuce on its burgers. In May, however, it said it will test kale in a breakfast meal (breakfast is about 25 percent of McDonald's sales). Kale might or might not cause construction workers to turn at 6 a.m. into McDonald's drive-through ...Read more
Our Long Path To Limited Government
WASHINGTON -- Americans should light 800 candles for the birthday of the document that began paving the meandering path to limited government.

A Vote For TPA Is Not A Vote For Obama
WASHINGTON -- Before presidential politics -- the game of getting to 270 electoral votes -- completely eclipses governing, there is the urgent task of getting to 217 votes in the House of Representatives to pass Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). This would guarantee a vote without amendments on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. ...Read more

Bernie Sanders' Socialist Charade
WASHINGTON -- Does any stricture of journalistic propriety or social etiquette require us to participate in Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' charade?

Actually, he is ...Read more
A Summer Break From Campus Muzzling
WASHINGTON -- Commencement season brings a respite from the sinister childishness rampant on campuses.

The attacks...Read more
The Separation of Campaign and State
WASHINGTON -- A simple apology would suffice.

These, too, would have consequences unintended and undesired by reformers, "requiring" a new round of reforms. But the Constitution, properly...Read more

The Withering Of The Death Penalty

It is difficult to imagine moral reasoning that would support the conclusion that an injustice will be done when, years hence, the death penalty finally is administered to Dzhokhar ...Read more
Santorum: The Return Of The GOP's Runner-Up
WASHINGTON -- A near miss can be a sharp spur, so Rick Santorum wants to say something to those who profess condescending puzzlement about his persistence in pursuing the Republican presidential nomination: You probably have no idea how close I came to defeating Mitt Romney in 2012.
Since 1968, he notes, the Republican presidential nominees ...Read more
In Childhood, Risk Is Inherent
WASHINGTON -- Controversies about "free-range parenting" illuminate today's scarred cultural landscape. Neighbors summon police in response to parenting choices the neighbors disapprove.

Onward Christian Huckabee!
WASHINGTON -- In the 1950s, during one of his two campaigns as the Democrats' presidential nominee, Adlai Stevenson was invited to address a gathering of Baptists in Houston, where in 1960 John Kennedy would address a group of Protestant ministers to refute charges that his Catholicism rendered him unfit to be president. This was an opinion ...Read more
Patrician Blacksmith For President?
WASHINGTON -- America's smallest state -- one Nevada county is nearly eight times larger -- has the longest name: In a 2010 referendum, voters kept the official title, State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. The state also has a dark-horse presidential candidate who is the only Democratic candidate so far who can shoe a horse. "Put a ...Read more
The Lusitania's Role In History

Teacher Training Programs:
Activities Underway to Improve Teacher Training, but Information Collected To Assess Accountability Has Limitations
GAO-03-197T: Published: Oct 9, 2002. Publicly Released: Oct 9, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8403
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 1998, the Congress amended the Higher Education Act (HEA) to enhance the quality of teaching in the classroom by improving training programs for prospective teachers and the qualifications of current teachers. This testimony focuses on two components of the legislation: one that provides grants and another, called the "accountability provisions," that requires collecting and reporting information on the quality of all teacher training programs and qualifications of current teachers. The Subcommittee asked that we provide information on (1) activities grantees supported and what results are associated with these activities and (2) whether the information collected under the accountability provisions provides the basis to assess the quality of teacher training programs and the qualifications of current teachers.
Education has approved or awarded 123 grants to states and partnerships totaling over $460 million dollars. Grantees have used funds for activities they believe will improve teaching in their locality or state, but it is too early to determine the grants' effects on the quality of teaching in the classroom. While the law allows many activities to be funded under broad program goals outlined in the legislation, most grantees have focused their efforts on reforming requirements for teachers, providing professional development to current teachers, and recruiting new teachers. However, within these general areas, grantees efforts vary. The information collected as part of the accountability provisions to report on the quality of teacher training programs and the qualifications of current teachers has limitations. The accountability provisions require that all institutions that train teachers who receive federal student financial aid provide information to their states on their teacher training programs and program graduates. In order to facilitate the collection of this information, the HEA required Education to develop definitions for terms and uniform reporting methods. Education officials told us that they made significant efforts to define these terms so that the terms incorporated the uniqueness of teacher training programs, state reporting procedures, and data availability. In doing so, Education defined some terms broadly. Education officials told us that this gave states and institutions discretion to interpret some terms as they wished--resulting in the collection and reporting information that was not uniform; making it difficult to assess accountability. Our nation's teachers are inextricably linked to student achievement. This bond highlights the importance of teacher preparation programs. The grants and accountability provisions established by the HEA seek to improve teacher training, but information collected to assess accountability has limitations.

Straitline SSC Stem
"Strong yet light ..."
The Good: Strong, light and looks great are the good features of this stem. I believe those features came from the the material, design and how it been manufactured. The power transfer from your body to the handlebar and front wheel is effective.
The Bad: There are few features that i dont like about this. those are the tag price ...seller price ... and .take out price..Overall Review: I highly recommend this as the chosen stem for enduro, aggresive AM, single crown's Freeride, light dh and DJ. So far i really feel confidence to take out berm and fast speed single track, and i control my bike through this stem not the other around.

Now end-users can take advantage of the wealth of information stored in your business database when they need it. They can generate and create elegant and persuasive Quick Reports, Charts/Graphs, Cross-tabulation Reports and Labels (mailing, barcode, etc) in minutes with little or no technical knowledge.

The Stonefield Query Advantage
When integrating the award-winning Stonefield Query report generation and creation tool with existing software applications, this easy-to-use report generation and creation software solution from an industry leader can provide:
Ease of Use
Unlike generic report generation and creation software, Stonefield Query can be customized specifically for the database it's querying against. You don't have to tell Stonefield Query how to get the data; you simply tell it what you want and it will figure out how to get it. Everyone in the organization from the President to the receptionist can use the product. As a result, Stonefield Query saves technical staff time and alleviates the burden of creating every query and report an end-user could ever think of.
With generic report writers you are responsible for laying out fields, adjusting sizes and headings manually. Stonefield Query automatically places fields and headings on the report and sizes them appropriately. You can create a report in Stonefield Query in just seconds with only a few mouse clicks. Grouping, sorting, totaling fields, and filtering are as simple as selecting the desired option from a list.
Stonefield Query uses SQL SELECT statements to retrieve records from the database, so only those records that match the filter are accessed. This can have an enormous impact on the performance of the query. For example, one Stonefield Query user told us that a report they created in Crystal Reports takes over 25 minutes to run, but the same report in Stonefield Query takes just 15 seconds. That's 100 times faster.
Stonefield Query can access nearly any kind of database, including SQL Server, Oracle, Access, Visual FoxPro, Pervasive, DB2, MySQL and even non-database formats like comma delimited text files. Stonefield Query also supports querying on multiple data sets. For example, you may have an accounting system's data stored in SQL Server and customer data stored in ORACLE. All you have to do is define how the SQL and Oracle tables are related, and Stonefield Query will take care of the rest.
Stonefield Query supports role-based security at the field, table and report level. This means you can control access to any information stored in your system.
Stonefield Query fulfills a valuable need every organization has: the access to information. More importantly, it allows the people who need the information the most, the ability to get it themselves.

Shopping, On the Run
I knew it was time to update my running look when, on St. Patrick's Day, a neighbor complimented me on dressing for the holiday. Only problem was, this is how I dress to go running every day. At least it's better than my wife, who tells me I look like a sanitation worker.
I know I have problems with my jogging wardrobe. Six months ago, the drawstring on my black sweatpants broke and the only replacements I could find in my drawer were bright green from L.L. Bean. It's just coincidental that they perfectly matched the fleece I wear to go running in winter, hence my neighbor's reference to the luck of the Irish and my wife's trash-collecting talk.
But my problem actually dates back to when I started running, reluctantly, about a decade ago. I hate doing what everybody else is doing—so what if it's good for your health. I suppose I found it easier to live with myself by throwing on whatever was in my drawer rather than officially admitting that I was a runner by going out and buying a tracksuit, or even running shorts. Which explains why I can often be spotted jogging around the Central Park reservoir in a cashmere sweater over the T-shirt I wore to bed the night before.
I also went hunting for a new pair of black sweats at the Ocean State Job Lot outlet upstate. I was open to just about any color other than green. The problem was that, in apparent deference to the girth of the local community, the pants started at XX-large and worked their way up from there to XXXX-large. I also visited Modell's and spent a good half hour trying on various running outfits. But when I looked in the store mirror, Ali G. was staring back at me.
But after my neighbor complimented me on my St. Patrick's Day attire I shared my predicament and she recommended I visit a nearby athletic-wear store called JackRabbit Sports. She said that the staff seemed hyperactively helpful, as if they were on permanent running highs, or triple espressos. This didn't sound like my crowd, but I was desperate. And as soon as she described them, and in the wake of my unsuccessful visit to Modell's, I realized that what I needed was somebody to hold my hand, to reassure me that I wouldn't lose my soul if I spent a hundred bucks on, say, wind pants or a running jacket. I also needed an individual versed in the latest fabrics and fibers to educate and, finally, to assist me in my quest for clothing that would update my look without causing friends and family to collapse in guffaws.
I was greeted at JackRabbit by Kristine Taylor, a staff member who did indeed exude health and fitness but, at the same time, didn't seem overadrenalized. As it turned out Ms. Taylor, a Williams College graduate, isn't only a national diving champion and volleyball player but also an artist. Indeed, she confided that among the quasi-nonnegotiable virtues required for employment at JackRabbit are A) a sense of humor, B) that the candidate "has never worked seriously in retail," and C) that their passions extend beyond shaving a few seconds off their time at their next marathon.
Even so, I realized that assisting me was akin to explaining telemarketing or Twitter to someone from the Middle Ages. We reached our first impasse when I explained that the absence of pockets would be a deal breaker. The garments she showed me had none, or the pockets were so small they couldn't handle anything bigger than a MetroCard or a $5 bill.
I need cargo space in my sportswear. I need places for house keys, change, health-insurance card (lest my heart stop pumping midcourse) and, of course, my iPod. "You might want to carry your key in a shoe pocket," she stated gingerly. "For an iPod, I might get an additional carrying unit."
As if I'd be caught dead wearing one of those iPod attached armbands around my bicep. Who did she think I was? Mariah Carey? Scarlett Johansson? One of the Real Housewives?
I also wasn't sure what to make of her question about whether I ran hot or cold. We hardly knew each other. "Somebody who runs hot is going to feel hotter than their control counterpart," she explained.
"What's a control counterpart?" I asked.
"I'm not sure how scientific it is," Ms. Taylor said under her breath. "But it's something we discuss freely here."
I had no idea what the correct answer was. On my way to the park, before I start running, especially when I hit Fifth Avenue and the wind almost knocks me over, I'm freezing to death. On the other hand, by the time I finish my run I'm sweating so profusely, even in the dead of winter, that I can detect the alarm on people's faces as they pass me.
Whatever the vicissitudes of my metabolism it didn't matter because JackRabbit was transitioning to spring wear and was almost sold out of anything cold-weather-related. A stylish, yet snuggly, substitute for my emerald green sweats didn't seem in the cards. Nonetheless, Ms. Taylor was heroic in her efforts to accommodate me, sending me into the dressing room with pants, shorts, and something she referred to as a "base layer." I think that's what used to be called an undershirt, but it apparently possesses marvelous "wicking" properties, whatever that means.
"It also happens to be UPF 50," she said, referring to the garment's ultraviolet protection factor.
Wouldn't anything that covers your body be UPF 50? Isn't that the point of clothing—apologies to Coco Chanel—in the first place?
To make a long story short, I left JackRabbit with some sort of slinky Nike Dri-Fit running shirt "which pulls away sweat" according to the label. And also a pair of Brooks "Rogue Runner III" shorts that are multiples more expensive than I've ever paid for shorts, but at least had pockets.
As soon as I pulled them out of the shopping bag, even before I could put them on, my wife said, "That's so not you."
I couldn't tell whether she meant it as a compliment or not.

text: Seidio giving away Waterproof OBEX cases for the Samsung Galaxy S III all month long, find out how to Enter Stormy Beach 7 February, 2013 21 Comments Seidio recently released a case to market for the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III. It is probably one the biggest cases I have ever seen, but it also does a whole heck of a lot to protect your device from…. well, everything. The Seidio OBEX case offers you premium quality protection from just about anything you can throw at it. It is IP68 tested and certified to protect your devices from dust and water. It will protect your device in continuous submersion in two meters or water. It is also offers MIL-STD-810G drop protection. That exceeds military grade protection guys. There is a 4H rated screen cover in place that protects the screen from scratches, and all other aspects mentioned of course. Water proof membranes allow for sound to enter and exit but keeps water and dust out. The back uses anti-reflective glass to cover your camera and flash to still allow for amazing photos. Need some proof of these claims? Seidio put the case to work in a video that demonstrates its worldly abilities. Yes, the snow scene is obviously not actually in a winter setting. If the case is waterproof than snow won't matter either, or mud, or soda, or coffee, or beer, or showers or toilet drops. Just gotta get some of the other common ailments our devices face often. We actually have one sitting here that we haven't had a chance to fully dive into just yet, but I thought some real photos of the case might be nice for you guys to see. It definitely adds some girth to your slim lined device. However, if you fear for the life of your device, or just want to have some fun and know it is safe and protected, the OBEX case is a real monster of a winner. The Seidio OBEX case is available for your Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 5.They have black available now with white on the way. The case by its self-will set you back $79.95 via Seidio , but we are seeing them for new on Amazon for $55 to $62 and used for around $35. Those exclude the belt clip holster. It locks in 7 different positions and rotates 180 degrees. Before you go running out and buying one though, Seidio is offering up free OBEX cases for the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III all month-long. Entering to win is pretty simple. Just use your favorite social network, or all of your social networks, to enter. That includes Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and at their blog. Each has a requirement and a time frame to follow. The image of all the messages to use to enter is below. What are you waiting for?

I run in and out burning bldgs every day my phone is constantly getting mess up due to water I try to protect it with a otter box but water allways gets to it even though its in my pocket. I would like to try this product out and write about it so can I get a free one please!!!!!!!!!!! For my s3 Anderson Nice case, but I would recommend the Pong Research Galaxy S3 over this. I read that the cell phones emit a non-ionizing form of electromagnetic radiation; radiation which can be absorbed by the tissues and cells which come into close contact with the phone. That's why I did research and found a case that can reduce radiation exposure. I found cases from Pong Research, I read that this technology reduces exposure to radiation while optimizing the mobile reception. I was skeptical about it, anyway, I decided to try it, because Pong is the only technology proven in FCC-certified laboratories to reduce the exposure to mobile device radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit without compromising the device's ability to communicate.

Tale of two cities
Brussels is a destination that seems to have more to offer each time you go back. Stop off in a bar for a while and the friendly locals, who all seem to love speaking English, are soon telling you of new places opening up, about forthcoming jazz and cinema festivals, art exhibitions, and surprisingly trendy neighbourhoods that tourists never usually get to.
Front page
The place to be seen
Avenue Louise is Brussels' fashion avenue, and the ultilmate place to stay is the desperately hip White Hotel. From the moment I check in at reception, everything about the place is, well, white, and any wannabe fashionista who turns up dressed all in black should be prepared to find themselves standing out from the crowd.
Hidden gem
The neighbourhood around Place du Châtelain is like a hidden, but fashionable village right in the heart of Brussels. Locals and EU expats flock here for the cool cafes, designer boutiques, funky restaurants and late-night bars, while most tourists don't even know it exists. Belgian friends tell me not to miss Le Châtelain's Wednesday night street market, and walking into the Place, the atmosphere is electric, teeming with colourful stalls and shoppers, while the pavements are turned into impromtu bars.
Guardianextra p2
Island inside the city
Walking along the aptly named rue de la Paix, (Peace Street), I am discovering just how much of a vibrant ethnic and cultural melting pot Brussels can be. Here at the beginning of the street, I am in the part of the neighbourhood known as St Boniface, named after a rather grand neo-gothic church. It is a genteel art nouveau quarter with colourful vintage boutiques and designer cafes lining either side, coming out in a pretty square of bars, restaurants and boutiques, filled in the evening with a colourful crowd of fashionable locals, students and eurocrats.
Guardianextra p3
Walk on the wild side
The Quartier Leopold may be named after Belgium's most famous, empire-building king, but getting off the bus in the nearby Square du Luxembourg, I feel as if I'm entering a futuristic Euroworld, where the tiny Leopold train station is dwarfed by a dazzling glass and metal construction of European Union buildings, including the parliament itself, nicknamed by the locals Caprice des dieux (whim of the gods).
Fashionably sedate
Getting off the bus in the Place Flagey is a bit of a shock as the place is one huge construction site, but everyone has told me that everything should be completed by the end of the year, and this rejuvenated neighbourhood is already getting a reputation as one of Brussels's hippest hubs. The main reason for that is the immense art deco building rising up across the square, living up to its local nickname of Le Paquebot (the steamship).

Lets just Pretend that Vanguard was everything is was supposed to be.
Lets just say that Vanguard didn't have coding problems, chunking between zones, better graphics and more interesting quest, a game that had something for casual and hardcore, a good balance. Even add your own good stuff to the mix...... Lets just say everything went as planned " just pretend ". If so, I really believe this would have been another WoW, Everquest,UO,Eve, and LOTRO, possibly bigger.
With that :
I think Vanguard would have made a major impact on the short 30 day crap games that we have today. Less people would side and support short theme park, with no sociable interactions other than dynamic events.
More people would be on board with old school. In fact Old school should not even be a word. The way I see it, old school=mmo. Old school should have evolved with better graphics and interesting stuff to do. Instead DEVELOPERS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE FORMULA....Did anyone ask for this change ?....Did you ?
If Old School mmos went in the right direction and evolved properly, we would have something for the casual players mixed in with hard core. I hate to use this example but WoW sociologicaly did things right. They went into the mind of players and seen that some like hard content and others like easy...You had both in WoW ( at least in Vanilla ).
Vanguard could have changed everything....less people would put up with crap.

Ultima and Everquest were the polar opposites in the old days...
WoW has taken the Theampark thrown from EQ....
But the developers haven't made a sandbox game capable of taking the Sandbox Throne from Ultima Onile....
Mark my word the game that surpases WoW and knocks it off the stump will not be a theam park it will be a Sandbox!!!

Themepark + Sandbox hybrid is the key. The perfect blend of both philosophies and designs, offering enough content and guidance to keep the point of entry low and easy enough... but with enough depth and freedom to keep the community growing strong, developing ownership and attachment.

After reading this bit, and I didn't read further, I paraphrased it down to: "Let's pretend that Vanguard was everything that every MMO since World of Warcraft has CLAIMED to be prior to release."
Most of the hyperbole and feature discussion that comes out of MMO developers prior to release is a load of rubbish. Every single one of them is guilty of it as well. They don't actually make any promises, they just discuss in vague terms what makes their version of X content/feature better than (or more innovative than) that type of content in other games, but when we get to release it just ends up being "same s**t, different game".
Seriously. It's par for the course at this point. Get over it.

But even if it had none of the problems it still wouldn't have changed anything IMO - the player base who want this type of gameplay is very limited, that is the truth.
One thing that many seem to miss is that MMO players evolve and change over time, the playerbase that played UO and EQ1 back in 1998/9 (I am one of those) has different priorities now.
I don't have 8 hours to play per day, heck nobody should be doing that - it is not healthy - and frankly MMO devs should not be designing games that encourage that sort of gameplay.
Games are entertainment, I don't support games becoming a "virtual online life" anymore, again shorter term games are obviously preferred these days as players need time for friends, family and their own wellbeing.
Anything that disrupts essential RL activities, is IMO undesirable, and this includes old-school "spend every waking hour online" MMOs.
So IMO Vanguard didn't change anything because the majority of players just are not interested in that style of gameplay, even if VG was perfect technically the same thing would have happened.

The problem I see is that the casual playstyle has dictated the way a game is developed. People say that the older MMO's didn't have casual friendly content and that is completely absurd. In the older games all casual meant was that you progressed slower than the more average/hardcore player.
Apparently that has become something unacceptable over the years. Now casual players progress at the same rate that hardcore players would have progressed 10 years ago. Meaning the Hardcore players are progressing 10x faster than normal and making content trivial after a few weeks. Leading to casuals still feeling gated because they can't get into the endgame.
The only thing casualized development has done is shorten the lifespan an MMO has or increase the rate at which developers must churn out content. Which in the end gives us less creative content/more rushed leading to players being bored and leaving.
Things need to slow back down. Not Lineage 2 slow. But perhaps FFXI slow. It shouldn't take you a day or two to get to max level (especially with the way games are releasing endgame content with only one or two dungeons and a raid). Getting to max level should feel like an accomplishment.
Casualization has also brought about the dumbing down of content. As per a massively article yesterday, we have lost the Support/CC role in our MMO's. A role that was a huge tactful playstyle that would allow people to address content in a multitude of ways. Now CC is just a way to frustrate/excite people in PvP. CC is hardly ever if at all used in PvE anymore and it is all rolled into DPS classes. Whats next, Healers and Tanks?...Oh wait.
Why are people burning through endgame content so fast? Why does it seem like after every expansion or every new game that releases things just keep getting easier and easier. Mob AI is unintelligent. Mechanics are lazy and don't bring about anything new. Seriously, how many times are we gonna see the don't stand in the fire mechanic being used as an endgame boss mechanic that is supposed to be super difficult. Increased HP Value =/= Increased Difficulty.
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we've got another one that is actually going to be – so we're going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we're targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can't hold me to it. But what we're targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo

WoW has millions of subscribers. Get over it.
How could an EQ clone with some WoW elements sprinkled on it have changed anything? How could more of the same be the future? You can't be serious!
Games like Darkfall or Mortal Online could have changed everything if they weren't of such low production quality and also PvP gank fests. I still hope that either Archeage or EQ Next will achieve what those have failed to do. There's still GW2, which changed something by kicking the hornet's nest of the endless series of WoW clones though.

No offense OP, but this thread is rather pointless.
Your argument basically amounts to 'pretend Vanguard was something it wasn't' followed by 'insert what you would've wanted it to be'. In which case you think it would've been the next WoW. Well, ANY game could've been the next WoW if we're comparing imaginary games that never existed.
Vanguard was what it was, it was a good game (with many issues), and it did not become the next WoW. Not even close. Furthermore, even if Vanguard were to somehow be re-released today with everything you wanted, it would still not be the next WoW.
Why? There's been numerous threads discussing this very topic on these forums alone:
- WoW's success is due to more than just how the game was made. Much more. The bulk of WoW's success came from Blizzard pulling in a LARGE OUTSIDE MARKET into the MMO genre. Something that is not really doable anymore, because the genre is already very large.
- Because of the fact above, WoW was most of this 'new market's first MMO. As such, for those people it will always be the pinacle of MMOs. Just as for many of us, our first MMOs are 'so much better than todays games'. It's that first love phenomina, and once you get people hooked on a game, they are extremely unlikely to move on to another game, even if it is 100% better. You're brain attempts to rationalize, distort truths, and reinforce your own belief that you are indeed playing the superior game.
- WoW is the most dumbed game, and does one of the best jobs at rewarding people for minimal effort. It's the type of game where anybody can play it, and yet still feel like they are the hero. That somehow, even though a million other people are doing the same thing, their play is somehow special. These are characteristics of popular games, and it's for this reason that we see so many games throwing out achievements like candy, and dumbing down their mechanics to a toddler-like skill level. In other words, the game is the most accessible.
- Furthermore, WoW shamelessly steals ideas from it's competition. Every time a game introduces a good idea that Blizzard thinks it can assimilate into WoW, they do it. This didn't help the game become successful, but it is essentially a stop-gap that allows the game to remain successful, longer.
I could go on, but I think my point's been made. A lot of people focus on how a game is made & it's graphics when talking about whether or not a game will be successful. However, we have dozens of examples of games with both, that still fail. And none are anywhere close to as successful as WoW is right now.
The next game to be like WoW will come only when the following things happen:
1) A bulk of the playerbase stops playing MMOs (at which point it will be the game that re-introduces them to the genre)
2) Player's change their mentality about how a game should be played. (kill all the things, to get all the loot, to kill all the things....). Many of us don't realize this, but we are reinforcing the very same games we complain about having. We get all these WoW clones because we repeatedly show that we want more WoW clones. And when we get games that aren't WoW clones, we complain that they suck, don't have enough 'endgame' or 'loot', and then go on to play more WoW clones.
It's a vicious cycle, and until it breaks, we have small hopes for a next big thing. There are many new interesting games being made. MMOs are changing. We just don't seem to give a damn.

I got so much trouble on my mind Refuse to lose.
There is no question that Vanguard was the Last Mohican - I mean last MMORPG
When Vanguard failed - they could have just put the key into the door of this site, and close it forever.
It was the end of the generation , end of a concept that EQ created.
And after that , all was simply ride downhill.
GW2 is probably the ultimate slap in the face of Vanguard.
To this day I am sad for it.
Dont know how many of you were on mmorpg.com in Vanguard days. But the amount of hate and arguments was something this site never seen since. And you know this site seen it a lot.
It was obvious a chance was missed, that would never come again...

The millions of players who play GW2 disagree with you. As well as the multi-millions who play all the other MMORPGs that aren't Vanguard.
Vanguard failed not only because of poor production quality (bugs, lag, need a monster computer to run it) but also because its whole design was obsolete, and because for people who wanted an EQ clone raid end game, WoW did it better 3 years earlier too. Add to this an arrogant lead developer with his head so stuck in his own bottom that he didn't realize his concept was going to tank badly, and you have Vanguard.
Vanguard had no chance against WoW, and no chance either against LOTRO which was released a couple of months later and which was a MUCH better "EQ/WoW clone" game too.

This is a bit like those people who like to drive collection cars. A few may enjoy maintaining a 1960's Ford Mustang, and feeding it with the 20+ liters of gas per 100km it needs, but most adult, mature and realistic people realize the design is obsolete, and that those cars are ecological and financial disasters.

No, the player base didn't change, at least not in the way you describe. You started MMO gaming at a time in your life when you had more free time. I was already much older and had far less time than you so I set aside what I could and focused on the aspects of older titles and skipped the others.
Time marches on, you no longer have the free time you did, but since my children grew up I now have much more free time so am looking for more time consuming content.
Also, a new generation has stepped in behind you to take your former slot and they have as much time as you ever did and can devote the time required.
10-12 years ago, there was a large number of people who would not play these games due to their time consuming virtual world designs, and what really changed is the game designs themselves to draw them into the market since they actually were the larger segment as WOW proved so that's what every AAA developer has been chasing since.
Back to Vanguard. It really was a reinvention of EQ 1, so I don't see it as the game changer the OP does, it's success might have drawn a few more dev's into creating more alternate versions of it, but WOW was the big dog in the room and it's features are what appealed to a far greater percentage of the market and even in VG was almost perfect, it would not have appealed to this new casual player base that Blizzard managed to unlock.

GW2 is way more like WoW than EQ was. I think that is where your premise falls apart. GW2 is a soft clone of WoW. EQ and WOW were really nothing alike other than being fantasy MMORPG with raids in them.
2 of the 3 have casual friendly hub based leveling. GW2 and WoW
When I play GW2 I more or less do exactly the same things I did when I played WoW. MOve around from POI to POI and complete the little objectives and maybe queue up for a dungeon instance or PvP. EQ was more about finding out what friends were up to or finding a place I could actually solo since there weren't a ton of them. The game didn't lead you around by the nose and it certainly didn't pull you right out of the world the way the WoW clones constantly do. Take the events out of GW2 and I'd call it a hard clone of WoW. Since they mixed up how combat works some and added the events it is more of soft clone.
Originally posted by Ender4
Anyone who played (or like me, still plays) both GW2 and WoW knows that what you posted it complete nonsense. GW2's design is totally different from WoW, both in the leveling and in the end game aspects. WoW is an EQ clone with quests slapped on it, same end game (raid grind based). Several of the original WoW developers were actually coming from EQ.

Sure even today there is a very small segment that will play a LP on their record player, the rest of the world has moved on to digital music.
Vanguard/EQ1 slow progression games still have appeal to a small segment of the player base, the rest has moved on to MMOs where a casual player can be at endgame content in less than 100hours played.

I have played all 3 heavily and I completely disagree with you. You seem fixated on the raid aspects and I'm looking more at how the full games function. A huge part of it is the hub based leveling, the casual friendly aspects and the instancing. These create the same core game. If you ask me what WoW did to change the core of the MMORPG it is exactly those things and those are all carried over into GW2 and did not exist in EQ.
You didn't have to raid for an end game in EQ either and you certainly don't have to in WoW where you can get gear thrown at you from heroics or PvP. All GW2 did was replace the raids with large scale mob events.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
The recent rally in Australian equities could revive the nation's long-dormant market for initial public offerings. But some of the biggest IPO candidates are backed by private-equity firms, and they may face skepticism among Australian investors smarting from some private-equity sales in recent years.
It has been a tough couple of years for IPOs in Australia. No deal has raised more than one billion Australian dollars (US$1.02 billion) since Westfield Retail Trust's A$2 billion offering in December 2010.
As The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Thursday, Carlyle Group and Seven Group Holdings have lined up financial advisers for the possible initial public offering of equipment-hire business Coates Hire, which will at earliest occur in 2013.
The equity capital markets, or ECM, teams currently celebrating hail from J.P.Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Macquarie Group, according to people familiar with the matter.
Carlyle Group and Seven Group Holdings have refinanced 1.85 billion Australian dollars (US$1.91 billion) of debt associated with equipment hire company Coates Hire, three people familiar with the situation told Deal Journal Australia.
Carlyle and Seven, which each own around 46% of Coates alongside management following the company's 2008 de-listing from the Australian Securities Exchange, have extended the facility for two years through July 2015, one of the persons said.
Seven Group Holdings and The Carlyle Group will refinance Coates Hire's debt before looking to launch an initial public offering, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Chris Savage.
Mr. Savage – who has a Neutral recommendation and a price target of A$10 a share – highlighted Seven's comments in recent investor presentations that its priority was to refinance Coates Hire's debt in the next few months and that a process leading to an IPO of the business would follow.
The equipment-hire business – which was a public company until January 2008 – has close to 1.8 billion Australian dollars in senior debt (US$1.74 billion).

I have a copy of this months Self magazine (don't have a digital link to the article) that contains a chart talking about commonly misdiagnosed diseases/conditions. It lists Celiac and how it is commonly misdiagnosed as IBS. I have to give it to this magazine b/c these are some quotes from the article:
- "Many docs think Celiac disease is a rare pediatric condition, when it fact it strikes adults."
- "Because IBS is rife, especially in women, many docs diagnose it without properly ruling out other problems."
I am glad the news is getting out!

Char Siu Pork Roast Slow Cooker
5-10 minutes
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce (NOTE: Once I somehow managed to be without hoisin sauce late at night while I was preparing this for the crockpot...yikes...so I subbed some good smoky brown-sugar bbq sauce I had on hand and it worked pretty good in a pinch)
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 pounds boneless Boston butt pork roast, trimmed
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
How to make it
Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place in a large zip-top plastic bag.
Add pork to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning occasionally. (I like to leave in the fridge overnight.)
Place pork and marinade in an electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or up to 10 hours).
Remove pork from slow cooker using a slotted spoon; place on a cutting board or work surface. Cover with aluminum foil; keep warm.
Add broth to sauce in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens. Shred pork with 2 forks; serve with sauce.
Makes 8 servings of pork with sauce.
Print it!

3D Printing Symposium
3D Printing Panel
12 November 2013
5:30pm - 8:00pm
Santa Clara, California
3D printing is already influencing how we dress, eat, fly, drive and more. The technology, where a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape is recreated from a digital model blueprint, is fast becoming one of the hottest tech trends of 2013. After all, it has the potential to affect major industries like aerospace, medicine, transportation, and manufacturing. The cost-effective, yet high-quality features of 3D printed objects, along with the accompanying virtual marketplaces and cloud-based consumer software, are bringing the technology within the reach
For more than a decade, PARC has been at the forefront of developing printed electronics (PE). This technology employs advanced materials that can be treated as inks and used to build additively transistors, circuits, sensors, and batteries. Printing functionalities rather than just images on paper unleash "printing as a manufacturing tool." Printed electronics also enable 3D printed objects that are intelligent. Integrating printed electronics with 3D printing introduces (thousands of) new and exciting possibilities in many industries, including healthcare & wellness, sports & fitness, packaging, prescription drugs, and more.

Conkers Bad Fur Day: Does anyone remember?
Hello does anyone actually remember that game. I seem to be the only person among people I know who actually own this game.
This is a problem because the multiplayer was bloody awesome, and funny is well-but not for the wrong reasons.
Especially when blowing a weasel up with a bazooka and hearing the line "Dental record time!" or "You is a dead mother f**ker" Priceless.
Also is an update planned as that would be sweet

one of he BEST games ive ever played.
i cant believe it did so poorly.
i blame it on the first two levels.. the game started off pretty boring in comparison to the later half of it.. it just got exponentially better as you progressed.. sadly most players are either hooked or loose interes within the first 20 minutes.

Mmm, I never owned an N64, but my old best friend had the game...good times, man. The multiplayer did friggin rock. It was absolutely amazing stuff. If the graphics were pumped up and the physics engine was revised, then no more Halo for me. THAT is how much I love this game
of course, after a few months, I'd buy Halo TWO!

I remember that game. I played the multiplayer mini-games more than I ever played the regular game. The storming the beach game ruled. I think the reason nobody remembers it is because it was one of the last games ever released for N64, because everything was moving to the next gen systems.
