I just wrote about how this console generation is going to most likely be my last, and it felt great to do so.
I've spent a good portion of this console generation struggling to come to terms with the direction that the industry is headed. Higher prices, DLC, constant connectivity, focus on multiplayer, and other trends have been turn-offs. I've done my fair share of complaining and arguing about these things, and am realizing that I'm in the "vocal minority" that people seem to loathe these days. I may not like these trends, but sales seem to indicate that other do-- or they at least have accepted them as part of what console gaming is now.
Starting last summer, I started to build my PlayStation 2 game collection. Games were starting to get cheaper, and it was less risky to buy games that I already knew about or had already played than it was to spend $60 blindly on new games. I've managed to build my PS2 library up to over 275 games now, along with over 100 original PlayStation games. I also bought a Super Nintendo unit last month and quickly built a library of over 40 games for it. Older was simply better. None of the issues that I disliked from this generation interfered with my enjoyment. I was having fun again, and complaining less.
The trip that I mentioned in the linked blog entry above is really what sealed the deal. Seeing all of those consoles and playing the games was what I needed to believe that I was making the right move by heading backward instead of forward. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time.
As my gaming preferences change, I'm rediscovering sites that I used to frequent... like GameSpot and IGN. It's like a homecoming to be writing something here after a pretty long absence. I'm going to try to update here when I can.
It's nice to be back.

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
One of Myers' first acting jobs was in a TV commercial when he was ten years old.Gilda Radner played his mother. A few months later, according to Myers, his brother was teasing him about his "girlfriend (Radner) being on some stupid show on Saturday." Myers swore that one day, he too would be on that show.
Myers graduated from high school in 1982 and was immediately accepted into the Second City Canadian Touring Company, after which he moved to the UK where in 1985 he was one of the founding members of The Comedy Store Players, an improvisational group based at The Comedy Store in London. The next year, he starred in the British children's TV program Wide Awake Club, parodying the show's normal exuberance with his own "Sound Asleep Club", in partnership with Neil Mullarkey. He returned to Toronto and Second City in 1986 as a cast member in the Second City's Toronto main stage show.
In 1988 he moved from Second City in Toronto to Chicago. In Chicago, he trained and performed at the Improv Olympic. He made numerous appearances, including as Wayne Campbell, on Toronto's Citytv in the early 1980s, on the alternative video show "City Limits" hosted by Christopher Ward. Myers also appeared as his Wayne Campbell character in the music video for Ward's Canadian hit "Boys and Girls". Later, Ward would appear as one of Austin Powers' band members in Ming Tea in Myers' popular movie series. The Wayne Campbell character was featured extensively ...

Feelings of FearBy: Graham Masterton (author)eBook
£4.07 RRP £4.99 You save £0.92 (18%)Buy eBook
DescriptionA collection of short stories from the master of spine-chilling terror
The secretary seeking a cosmopolitan lifestyle in Europe's most sophisticated city; the architect whose secret life is about to become all too public; the delighted beneficiary of a superb inheritance: all very different people trying to make the best of their ordinary lives. But all of them will turn out to have something in common when they are thrown in at the deep end in situations that will turn on its head everything they have ever taken for granted.
When drowning in a puddle becomes a real danger; when an imaginary friend becomes a terrifying threat; when the gift of a lifetime turns out to have come from a formidable -and less than friendly - source: only then will the cast of characters in this deeply chilling collection of stories begin to understand what the feeling of fear really means.

There's Still Much More to Do
At the beginning of the election campaign we outlined four key things which we believe, if tackled, will have a positive impact on the LGBT community. The first of these was a tangible commitment to help combat homophobic, biphobic and transphobic hate crime. With the exception of the SNP and Ukip, this featured in the manifestos of almost all the major political parties; a great first step, but we must see this translated into real action with the next government... We're at an extremely important point in the LGBT movement where, if we have any hope of achieving full equality, complacency is not an option. We've read the manifestos and we'll remember the commitments. We hope that whoever is elected on 7 May will do the same.

MTV's Scream and CBS's Zoo premiere tonight. One is worth your time. Which one?
How did this one get under the radar? Week after week, we get dimwitted comedies, and then a charmer like this comes along, and it gets a limited release. "Why Stop Now" is a bright screwball comedy about one fraught day in the life of a piano prodigy, his crackhead mother and her drug dealers. It's the first movie in memory that when the kid is performing onstage and the door at the back of the auditorium opens, he does NOT want a parent to appear.
"Why Stop Now" opens with the crucial audition of Eli Smith (Jesse Eisenberg), who could win a scholarship to a famous music conservatory. He arrives late and explains to his teacher that he has had a very hard day. It began with his driving his mother Penny (Melissa Leo) to a drug rehabilitation clinic. She isn't enthusiastic about this; he nearly has to carry her in.
Amazingly, she can't be admitted. She's been clean for a few days in preparation, her urine shows no drugs, but her insurance won't cover a "voluntary admission." A helpful counselor advises her to leave, get high and try again.
Eli has been having butterflies and panic attacks all day. Penny has apparently been using for years, creating chaos in his life, even though she's been a sweet mother to him and his little sister, whose closest relationship is with a smelly sock puppet. Melissa Leo ("Frozen River") fits comfortably in these careworn roles; her Penny tries hard but is scattered and jumpy.
Eli thinks it through and advises his mom to do some coke. She doesn't have any. This makes necessary a visit to her drug dealer Sprinkles (Tracy Morgan, of "30 Rock"), who lives with his mother and his sidekick Black (Isiah Whitlock Jr.). They, alas, have no stock on hand. Now Eli, who speaks Spanish, finds himself as the translator between Sprinkles and Eduardo (Paul Calderon), his Puerto Rican source, which involves a rendezvous in a restaurant and another at a birthday party for Eduardo's daughter. Eduardo, by the way, falls in love with Penny on the spot.
I can imagine this material being hurtled through at breakneck speed. Not here. The co-writers and directors, Philip Dorling and Ron Nyswaner, have a good feeling for characters and pacing. The drug dealers, for example, aren't rubber-stamp movie "drug dealers" but plausible people with real lives and feelings. Time is given and attention paid to the construction of scenes, so that the humor grows from the situations and doesn't pound us on the head. Consider how the daughter's birthday party is handled, and the grace with which Penny dances with the guy who likes her and feels flattered.
Another example: The mother and the dealers ride along with Eli to his audition, which is complicated because he's injured his hand. It's being held at his high school, which is the staging area for a Revolutionary War re-enactment that includes the girl he has a crush on. You can imagine how that could play out in an ordinary movie. Not here. It's a small community, and Sprinkles attended the same high school. He was an athlete and won a boxing trophy. The scene where he shows them his photo on a glass display case has a touching poignancy.
One of the film's strengths is that it has no bad people. Eli is desperately trying to help, Penny is desperately trying to be helped, the drug counselor helps in the only way he can, and Sprinkles and his sidekick are nice guys whose ambition was not to deal drugs — but what are the odds of making a living as a boxer? Eisenberg is pitch-perfect. I don't know if that's really him playing the piano, but from the camera angles, it seems impossible to fake. He's also an excellent translator, which gets him caught in the middle in a funny scene.
The addiction is handled in an unusual way, with Melissa Leo never seeming wasted or depraved, but more sincerely out of control. There's a nice understated irony in a key scene because she doesn't want to do drugs, because "this is the best I've felt in days." "Why Stop Now" takes large themes much manhandled as movie cliches, and treats them with care and respect. It likes the characters. So did I.

Sullenberger, who took time off to write a book, "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters," said the timing of the flight, less than two weeks before the book's Oct. 13 release, was just a coincidence. This was the first time, he said, after training that everybody's schedule lined up for a reunion flight.
Sullenberger is reportedly getting $2.5 million to $3 million for the book.
Skiles, the first officer who returned to flying in April, said today was "a little different response than I got of my first flight back in April." On that trip from Charlotte to Detroit there was just one reporter.
The 58-year-old captain said he choose to return to the air because "it is my family." Although he acknowledged in his new role doing safety management work for the airline he would not get to be in the cockpit as much as he would like.
So what are the chances of another bird strike? "Astronomical," Sullenberger quickly said.
The afternoon took off and landed in Charlotte without incident.
Peter Schweitzer, of New Jersey, was on the afternoon New York to Charlotte flight traveling to Florida for business and learned that Sullenberger would be his pilot while getting a cup of coffee at the airport Dunkin Donuts.
"I'm just totally emotional about being on a flight with this guy because of what he represents to the American worker," Schweitzer said.
Schweitzer said he was proud to have a "competent" worker as his pilot and said it sends a good message that Sullenberger returned to work.
Denise Lockie, who was on the US Airways flight in January that landed in the Hudson, booked a ticket for today's trip.
"It's just part of the healing process," she said.
So how much did her last-minute ticket on the sold out flight cost?
"That's irrelevant," she said.
Several former pilots -- including one who was at the cockpit of one of the nation's deadliest crashes -- told ABC News that pilots feel at home on planes and even after being in a crash understand just how safe it is to fly.
"I just kind of had the feeling that in order to get back to where you were before, you basically had to go back to flying the airplane," said William Records, co-pilot of United Airlines flight 232, which crashed in in Iowa in 1989, killing 111 people. "To be real honest with you, I didn't have a problem with it mentally."
Twenty years ago, the tail-mounted engine on the DC-10 Records was flying exploded at 37,000, feet knocking out the plane's hydraulic systems. By varying the power to the engines of either wing, the crew was able to steer the plane to the ground 44 minutes later at the Sioux City, Iowa, airport.
When it hit the runway, the jet cartwheeled, broke up and exploded in flames, killing 111 onboard. The other 185 passengers survived. The efforts of Capt. Al Haynes, along with Records and flight engineer Dudley Dvorak, are widely credited with saving those lives.
Records spent four months in physical rehabilitation for his injuries. He returned to the co-pilot's seat, he said, without any problem. Records made pilot shortly after that and flew until 2000, when he reached the government's then mandatory pilot retirement age of 60.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Americans were able to build their
retirement savings with some heavy assistance from a robust stock
market and high interest rates. But in the 21st century, stock
market performance has been more erratic, bond yields have largely
shriveled below 3 percent and savings account rates have dropped to
nearly zero.
With less help from investment returns, Americans need to take a
more rigorous approach to saving money to meet their financial
goals. Unfortunately, most have done just the opposite. Personal
savings rates averaged 9.31 percent in the 1980s, and then 6.71
percent in the 1990s. So far in the 21st century, they've averaged
just 4.59 percent.
While strong stock market returns and
high savings account rates
can make saving more rewarding, an uncertain stock market and low
savings account rates make saving more essential. Without
investment returns doing the heavy lifting, you have to make up the
difference through saving -- or else be caught short in
Therefore, think of saving money as a way of controlling your
retirement plan growth. If you practice more aggressive savings
techniques and add up the results as a percentage of your
retirement assets, you might find that you can create a pretty nice
substitute for the absence of stronger investment returns. Here are
some of the basic steps you can take:
If savings account rates return to the 5 percent range, or if
the stock market strings together several years of more consistent
returns, you'll get even more out of practicing the above
techniques. Until that happens though, these steps will
keep your retirement plan moving forward
. Either way, approaching saving more aggressively is essential to
21st century retirement planning.

I would make the owner sign an agreement to foot the bill for your moving expenses BEFORE you agree to move out. The law technically sides with you but you should still leave, IMO, because the owner can make your life hell while you are still there.
However, you've got a good deal of leverage here yourself and making sure he agrees in writing to cover your moving expenses will make it a hell of a lot easier to win in an open and shut type manner if he tries to stick you for it later.
