In last week's Devil's Advocate, we took a look at the MMO community's proclivity to "tear down" games that aren't the current favorites. In this week's follow-up, we take a look at the community's reaction to Victor's column. See what YOU had to say and our thoughts about it. As ever, weigh in with your thoughts in the comments.

I don't think we need to all start drinking the kool-aid but I wonder how the negativity surrounding MMO's is good for the industry. Consider, is a casual gamer more or less likely to start playing MMO's after reading the comments section. I have to say I quote TSW everytime this comes up.

All this talk about locust eating up content and leaving... mmo was never about amazing story content. First story driven mmo was SW:TOR and it was released in December 2011 only a year ago. Yet there were hundreds of games released earlier with that concept in mind but they never asked you to pay continously for privilege of playing through story content. You buy your RPG game play throu it once or more the content never lasts for more than 100 hours but it's ok you paid for it. Publisher and developer get their money and everyone is happy (of course when game is crap you are not).
P.S. I think I need my own column ;-)

Seriously? Not even ONE comment quoted that says developers just fail to deliver in general?
Many people are just fed up with overadvertised overhyped games that don't have enough value to support the sub model.
Of course, there will always be whiners and trolls. Always someone dissatisfied. But do you think if the games were better you'd have to write an article about the "teardown mentality"?
People are fed up with their governments - they rebel. It's basically the same mechanism.
In many cases if the game plainly sucked people would just go and stay away from it. But lately there have been a LOT of games which can be considered wasted potential. They have great X, but suck at Z... and Y is just meh.
And many developers dont socialize, don't listen, don't care as long as they get paycheck for their half-assed work.
So yeah, maybe lately people are overly angry. But don't they have reasons to be? Don't they? Really?

Is this "shoot the messenger"?
None of this matters anyways. Most gamers don't come here and read all the "negativity", and they still are walking away from the Themepark repetition and stagnation. Try to save it all you want, it just doesn't matter.

How many of us checked to see if our comment made the cut? The desire for attention, to rise above the din of other voices, can be a constant pressure that increases our volume. Whether it's deliberate baiting, a territorial need to react to our hot-button issues or an innocent escalation of our opinions, we are all on some level competing for the eyeballs of our peers.

But now he's back at it pushing an obvious agenda, so I made a comment here. So, no, I'm not competing for eyeballs. Especially not from someone who's not my peer so much as someone who's pushing an agenda that's contrary to my wants....and yes... my needs!

I don't think it is far off to say that a very good result in a creative effort is an accident. Takes good people, good ideas, and a large dose of luck. In any field. So there are very rare exceptions --- personally I think every movie David Lean made had something special. But that's the exception. More typical is Lucas...after three pretty fun Star Wars movies, with more technical ability and the same creative team he produced three so-so efforts.
Much of what we have in these columns is a desperate attempt to break down an MMO to find out why it wasn't the next great program. I understand the feeling, but a good, big program is not a simple sum of its parts --- it is a magical combination of things that work. Of course with really bad examples it is possible to point at things. But remember, when EQ came out it was buggy, had a steep learning curve, and could be so brutal it would make people cry. Yet it took off, and it is still here. So the point is even when it seems we understand why a new game isn't so good....it isn't that easy.
Creative stuff is magical, I repeat...because it is true. When you are hoping for the next great MMO, patience is a great virtue. I do not accuse people for promoting and being enthusiastic about MMO x. I think you have to have that to have a chance...but the truth is before the community gets out and plays it, you just never know, and the odds are not very good.
I am trying to stay hopeful, but I am getting old.

Nearly every MMO is story based -- just most of them require you to fill in your own imagination and actually read the quest copy for interlocking clues. Some people don't do that; others just absorb it and move on without thinking too hard that this is narrative that's shaping their experience.
It never ceases to amaze me that if you take two people and sit them down and ask them, "What was the meaning of this quest line?" they will tell you completely different notions of what the ethics and set and setting of the whole thing was. One person will tell you that the quest line was about getting a lot of loot together through manipulating a set of nobles. Another will tell you that it was about being sent to this principality by your leige as an ambassador as a proxy to show that you could serve that district to pacify their enemies and bring them under the influence of your leige for a coming war. Both of these people read the same story content and brought their own characterization to it -- probably without the Bioware style 3-choice radials. And both of them might well think that their interpretation was the only story that could be drawn from that copy.
Which means there is no story right? How boring. Just sad text on a panel. But these things are often written with an ambiguous art to let multiple playstyles run through them without "roadbumps" derailing immersion. It's an art. And unless you talk to another player with a dramatically different play style and compare your feelings about the playstyle, or unless you are a roleplaying type fussing with replayability with different character concepts -- you'll never know. (or, of course, unless you're a dev...)
But even if you don't count that, LOTRO is completely structured around story content (to the point of being books and chapters of content in structure), and runs entirely parallel to Lord of the Rings, interweaving with the events of the LOTR trilogy and intersecting with the adventures of the Fellowship of the Ring and various factions that the Fellowship interacts with, and other entities of Middle Earth mentioned in the Silmarillion and other Tolkien sources. You can't get much deeper into story than that. My kin on Landroval is an institutional member of the Tolkien Society, and today our book club met at 3pm server time to discuss chapter 3 of The Hobbit, and part of the discussion included a comparison of Turbine's build of the approach from Bruinen Gorge to the gates of Rivendell against Tolkien's description in The Hobbit -- what details did Turbine get right? What did they leave out and what of those details did they leave out because they changed between The Hobbit in 1937 and LOTR's publication seventeen years later?
We don't just think about this, Turbine does too. The story and lore is deep in their game structure and the copy and artistic design of everything they do in that game -- I can tell you they love the books a lot more than Peter Jackson does! (noting that Christopher Tolkien describes him as "eviscerating" The Hobbit in the latest movie in Le Monde).
It's a lot easier for games drawing on strong IP such as Star Wars or LOTR to go deep into story. But it depends on the game company too. I don't see the superhero games as going that deep despite the strong tradition they draw on. I understand TSW made a stab at it drawing on multiple IPs (Lovecraft and Robert Anton Wilson and much high weirdness).
But SWTOR also draws on a talent pool that is all about story -- I've found references in the Imperial Agent storyline to Ian Fleming's Bond, to The Prisoner (vintage 60s Brit TV series that lost a close 2nd to getting the Hugo award to 2001: a Space Odyssey in 1969), and various. And LOTRO's team has a deep love of the IP that goes above and beyond the call of duty into a sort of literary geek passion equalled only by fans like my kinship (guild) who organize a book club, the periodic in-game music festival WeatherStock, and so on.
These interplays build strong community not only within the bonds of the fandom (we recently got our five year anniversary mounts and such) but also between the subscriber base and the devs.
Story goes unrecognized but it is there and it is powerful. Just because it doesn't club you over the head with millions of dollars in voice talent doesn't mean it isn't there at all.
btw, thanks for quoting me. But I think you are discounting the fact that I am not talking about the folks who stay and critique the LUA stats you are talking about from the WOW logs and all, though -- those people stay and tune and stick with the game longer.
I'm talking about the people who leave within months -- and those are hundreds of thousands these days.
You have to account for them. They are more "massive" than most game subscription bases. And they take down games.
I think people just tear down WoW because it was never that good, yet all the people who started out on WoW think that it invented the genre, there were better MMOs around before WoW.
There does tend to be an anti-hype brigade on here in the sandbox community for any themepark though. Rather than just accepting that the game doesn't suit their playstyle, they would rather just bash them repeatedly, as if that will change the themepark players opinions.

I think there many causes for as you put the tear down mentality and no one factor can be blamed. One I don't see touched on is firstly people spend years getting kicked around in one way or another by some MMO developers. Sometimes it's small stuff, sometimes it huge stuff that gets changed. They lose character names. Their characters get nerfed. Their skills get overhauled. They have an entire combat system changed that makes their character obsolete. They feel like they get ripped off. And hundreds of other things.
The final insult is whenever the developer decides to close up shop the player looses everything. If I buy a $60 non-mmo sort game even if it's been 10 years I can reload it and play it. (Sure I might have to mod it or find mod for it to get to run but I can still play it.) Not so in MMOs if it is closed down all the money for subs, expansion, or cash shop items Hundreds of dollars, time, items I gathered for years, things I've poured creativity into, things I've built and lastly most importantly the community of people are gone forever.
Some of us have gone through this multiple times. It's not hard to see some folks truly grieve when they loose a MMO, nearly exactly the same way they would react if they experienced a house fire, the lose of a loved one, or pet. Granted some of us are just ticked off we lost so much money, and time. So why wouldn't these people become bitter and distrustful of MMO developers as a whole. This resentment builds and is unleashed on other games, and cycle goes on and is building. It's lead us to where we are now, the collapsing MMO market.

Ben & Jerry's back GMO billJanuary 28,2013Ben & Jerry's
back GMO bill
MONTPELIER — Vermont-based ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's has come out in support of state legislation requiring labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms, and says it will stop using such products by the end of this year.
The company, a subsidiary of international food conglomerate Unilever, said 26 of its ice cream flavors — ranging from Cherry Garcia to Mint Chocolate Cookie — already come without GMOs.
The company's stance is winning praise from groups supporting GMO labeling, including Rural Vermont and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.
Legislation to require labeling of products with GMOs failed to win passage last year, but backers are trying again this year.
McKibben to speak
at Statehouse
MONTPELIER — Environmental activist Bill McKibben will speak to the Vermont Legislature about climate change and how it relates to the state.
House Speaker Shap Smith said Friday he's invited McKibben to speak Wednesday afternoon.
Vermont Public Radio said McKibben's been supporting a campaign to get resolutions on town meeting day ballots that oppose the shipment of tar-sands oil across northeastern sections of the state.
Smith's office said it prioritizes climate change as one of the most important challenges facing the state.
Hearing set on death with dignity
MONTPELIER — A big crowd is expected at a public hearing this week at the Vermont Statehouse on legislation that would allow physicians to prescribe a lethal dose of medications to terminally ill patients who wish to take their own lives.
It's an issue that has come up repeatedly in recent years. Backers say the current makeup of the Legislature and support from Gov. Peter Shumlin give what's variously called death with dignity and physician-assisted suicide the best chance it's had yet of passing this year.
Four legislative committees will be on hand in the main House chamber to take testimony from the public from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — A man wants to sell a truck, and a woman wants to buy some tomatoes.
In much of the world, they might turn to a computer to post ads online or flick through search results. But in some parts of rural America, they're just as likely to pick up the phone and call a local radio station.
Three times every weekday (and twice on Saturdays) people in western Arkansas call in to KARV's "Dial-A-Trade," an audio adaptation of the classified ads. For an hour or so, callers explain what they're looking to buy, sell or trade. Then they leave their phone numbers. On live air. For free.
Some people who live here see the program as a public service, but to outsiders, it seems more like a time capsule, a relic from an era before commerce began migrating to the Internet.
Radio want-ad programs are neither new nor unique to Arkansas. For decades, scores of similar shows across the country have filled the airwaves with callers looking to buy and sell everything from apples to ammunition.
These shows – with names like "Tradio" and "Swap Shop" – broadcast more than free bartering. They showcase a way of life that people in rural America have preserved like canned peaches. KARV's "Dial-A-Trade" first went on the air in the 1970s and hasn't changed much since then.
"We still have for sale quite a few of our laying hens," Dolly Sinor said when she called the program. She ticked off the names of a few breeds before giving listeners directions to her home, where she and her husband sell birds and eggs.
"We're the first driveway on the right," she explained.
The notion that someone would give out directions and a phone number over the air seems preposterous in other parts of the country where people lock their doors and invest in home security systems.
But in Russellville, population 28,000, it works, and for now it seems likely to stay that way.
"If they tried to take that off the air in Russellville, there would be an uprising," said Doug Krile, executive director of the Arkansas Broadcasters Association.
People like bargains, Krile says, and they like the interaction that comes with radio.
"It's like the old days when you could call in and request a song," Krile said. "It's that feedback and being part of what's happening on the air."
That nostalgia may help explain why the show attracts a largely older audience.
"Probably 95 percent of them are going to be over 40 or 50," morning "Dial-A-Trade" host Chris Womack said.
There are some younger listeners and callers like 28-year-old Philip McCutcheon, but they're the exception.
"I find some of it kind of funny, and it may be because it's mainly older people," said McCutcheon, a barber. "They all call in about the same old thing every day."
"Dial-A-Trade" is not broadcast online, which means people can only listen if they're able to pick up the station's AM or FM signals. Some worry that such programs may go the way of pay phones as more people turn to Craigslist or other websites to find deals.
But the future of "Dial-A-Trade" seems safe for now. Not everyone here has a computer or a high-speed Internet connection. About one in five people in Arkansas don't even use the Internet, according to a 2012 report from an Internet advocacy group called Connect Arkansas.
The show also reflects the poverty that persists in this area, even as hundreds of people work at a nearby power plant and process food in factories.
"If they need to pay their gas bill and they've got something that's worth 50 or 60 bucks, they can call the program," Womack said. "Some people are hurting, even today."
Louise Deal, 77, called the program last month looking for some tomatoes and veggies. A few minutes later, another woman called to talk about a yard sale.
"I also have some tomatoes, okra and squash for sale," she said.
Womack – the host that morning – took the bait.
"Hey, let me give you a phone number," he said. "I had a lady calling looking for some tomatoes and squash and some other things as well."
Deal said she never heard from the other caller, but that doesn't take away from her experience. The combination of things people are trying to acquire or get rid of is intriguing on its own.
On a recent show, in less than two minutes, callers hocked tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, chickens, baby ducks, rabbits, a clarinet, a 9 mm pistol and an offer to haul trash and hay. The clarinet, gun and offer for trash and hay-hauling came on the same call.
After listening for a few minutes, visitors to this part of the world learn that people here know how to farm and shoot guns. They figure out that manners still matter here as callers and hosts thank each other. And they hear the importance of religion in everyday life as callers wish folks a blessed day.
"Everybody thinks that it's just people out there selling product," said Vance Harrison, president of the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters. "But I think it's also more of a barometer of what's going on."

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court voted to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) citing "deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment." This law specified that for federal purposes, "the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife."

"I applaud the pioneering spirit," said Visiting Professor David Nimmer who recognizes Miami Law as the first and only school to introduce an interdisciplinary J.D/M.M. degree, which provides students with an avenue to understand the legal side of the music industry. "I'm grateful the Dean recognized the need right from the get-go to add special avenues of education, and was delighted to be part of the faculty."
Miami Law's Human Rights Clinic, in conjunction with the Sisterhood of Survivors (an organization led by domestic violence survivors), The Lodge (a shelter for victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault), and the Florida Immigration Advocacy Center (FIAC), helped plan Rashida Manjoo's fact-finding site visit to South Florida, which will take place January 28-30, 2011.

Just days after sitting for the Florida Bar Exam, Jeff James, JD '09, hit the ground running as a new hire at the Law Offices of Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida (PD-11). His position as an assistant public defender has required him to spend almost every business day in court, making legal and factual arguments and perhaps most importantly, learning how to act quickly on his feet. The Public Defenders Office does not let its lawyers simply fend for themselves, however: James has the benefit of being able to draw upon the extensive formal training program and institutional knowledge among litigators, which is essentially the largest criminal defense law firm in the State of Florida.
Supporters are quickly joining Miami Law clinics and fellow rights groups to stop the deportations of Haitians one year after the earthquake.

Christopher Lomax, BM '05, JD '08, is as comfortable playing the trumpet in a concert hall as he is speaking in a courtroom. As an undergraduate at UM, Lomax studied music and entertainment and took nearly half his courses in the School of Business. His interest in business law and his involvement with the mock trial team (which began with an unplanned trip to Iowa to save the team from being disqualified because they did not have enough participants), led the musician to the study of law.
The Miami Innocence Workshop Clinical Program at Miami Law has been accepted into the National Innocence Project Network, making the law school the only university in South Florida to be nationally recognized by the not-for-profit organization dedicated to freeing innocent people who remain incarcerated. The Workshop is one of the law school's newest hands-on clinics where students have the opportunity for live-client representation of prisoners claiming innocence.

On Good Friday, March 29, 2013 at 1:56 p.m., I made a $10 deposit at the Yadkin Plaza branch of Suntrust Bank.
A lady was about two minutes behind me and four more customers came through the drive-up, that my dad, Jack Wishon, used to run, back when it was Central Carolina Bank.
This would not ordinarily be worth comment, except that we were the final six customers of this branch.
I must be getting older than I realize, because I was 13 when it opened, and I'm now 51. As I remember, some called it "The Crackerbox" as it was only 12 by 36 feet. After a little research, I found that the grand opening was held Friday, May 30, 1975, which was about two months before Hanes Mall opened in Winston-Salem.
Dad had been working in the downtown branch since 1948, at what is now the corner of South Jackson and Main Street. In 1959, they moved to the current building at 200 South State Street. Then it was the Bank of Yadkin and in June of 1969 it was acquired by CCB.
Dad was transferred to the plaza branch, and at the time there were two teller windows and a drive-up. In fact I used to help him put letters on one of those trailer-signs out front. Frequently a storm would trip the burglar alarm and dad would have to go over and reset it. One day it became a drive-in bank when a car crashed into it!
It saddens me to see this bank close, but as I said to the three employees there when I left and as they said in "The Godfather." "It's not personal, it's just business!"
So plaza customers, please come to the downtown branch at 200 South State St., just southwest of the courthouse.
Thank you for continuing to allow Suntrust to handle your money, it's sort of a family thing , you know!
Tim Wishon

I'm a self-taught Front End Developer with a passion for modern design and clean interfaces.
I graduated from University with a BA(hons) in Roman Archaeology, so whilst I'm all equipped to be the next Indiana Jones, it's just not for me (besides, he looks much better in a fedora than I do.)
So that's why for the last year or so, I've been tenacious and constantly working to increase and improve my skillset. I'm extremelty keen to be in a fun, ambitious and fast paced environment to help progress and mould me into a top rate developer.
When I'm not learning to code, my favourite past time hobbies includes travelling, painting and having a good ole' banter with friends over a coffee.

Friday, August 2, 2013
New defensive coordinator Jody Kafina sees Cane Bay High School as a place destined for bigger and better things on the gridiron moving forward.
First, the program is relatively new.
Second, the school has tremendous potential for growth.
Third, he's impressed with the school itself and the other members of the football coaching staff.
"I'm fired up about it," the 45-year-old Kafina said. "It's an awesome opportunity. It's pretty much a brand new program. The school is only going into its sixth year. It's almost like starting with a clean slate… My wife and I agree that we love Cane Bay. This is a place that you could retire."
Kafina spent the last two years as the head coach at Pinewood Prep, where success has traditionally been hard to come by on the football field. Kafina's teams won three games in two years but said his kids played hard.
This season will be his 21st as a high school coach.
Kafina first came to the Lowcountry as the offensive line coach at Charleston Southern in 1999. He spent three years with the Buccaneers and has also coached locally at Fort Dorchester (2003-05) and Summerville (2006-10).
As a player, Kafina was an all-South Atlantic Conference performer as the center for Gardner-Webb in 1992.
In a bit of a twist, Kafina is taking the keys to the defense from the program's head man, Russell Zehr. Zehr is moving over to assist with the offensive side of the ball.
"He knows a lot of football," Zehr said. "We've been looking at changing up our defense and if I was going to turn it over to somebody else I wanted to turn it over to somebody with experience… I'm going to be there but I'm not going to be looking over his shoulder."
That's not something Kafina said he's even thinking about anyway.
"Good coaching staffs work together and make decisions together all the time," he said.
Last season, Cane Bay allowed 326 points (27.2 PPG).
Kafina's first group of players will be more athletic than lineman-types. Cane Bay is likely moving away from a four-man front to a 3-4.
The emphasis is on the linebackers being versatile, being able to slant into the gaps but also being able to back up into coverage on passing downs. Cane Bay has those types of players in bunches.
"We're going to be aggressive," Kafina said. "I've been very pleased with the summer program. The kids are in shape and they are strong… I'm excited about our play-making ability."
The secondary figures to be stronger than it has been too, Kafina said.
"Talking with Coach (Sean) Krupla and Coach (Tim) Wash, this could be the best secondary they've had since they've been there… They're untested but they had a good summer."
Cane Bay is set to open the season Aug. 29 at Summerville.
Last season, the Cobras finished 6-6 in their first season as a Class AAAA team.
Kafina will be a career and technologies teacher at CBHS.

the feitelson fellowship, 2011
What: The Feitelson Arts Fellowship, 2011
When: May 19 thru July 3, 2011
Where: The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, LAMAG
Featuring: Artists early in their career—including CB2 team member, Nuttaphol Ma
The Lorser Feitelson and Helen Lundeberg Feitelson Arts Fellowship is awarded through the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery Associates, LAMAGA, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that supports the Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park.
Conceived by the Feitelsons, seminal Los Angeles Modernist painters, and their friends, as a way to give encouragement to artists early in their careers by offering financial grants; it is issued in conjunction with the City of Los Angeles, C.O.L.A., Individual Artist Fellowships to twelve exemplary mid-career international artists.
Congratulations and good luck to all participating artists.
…for the 2011 Feitelson Arts Fellowship, multi-disciplinary artist—and CB2 Santa Monica team member—Nuttaphol Ma combined references to Sam Cooke's 'A Change is Gonna Come' with a performance where he, Ma, set sail with a boat over his head on May Day from Badwater Basin to the trailhead of Mt. Whitney.
…the approximately 130-mile personal odyssey meditates on the ebbs and flows of our existence, the power and the abuse of power subjected upon the powerless, the dreams of leaving and the dreams of roots. Ma's installation distills the performance to a two channel video projected onto sewn fabric walls.
…to learn more about the installation, check out Ma's website or experience it by visiting the gallery.
…thanks to julio, CB2 sample handler, for the heads up on this one.

MacBreak Weekly 322: First Nerd Problem

MacBreak Weekly 322: First Nerd Problem
Yay! I like MacBreak Weekly, and having you on it has definitely improved the show. So glad you're going to be a regular!
regarding your inquiry about friction stir welding ...
if you bend over etc it's what Apple did to the iPad 3 ( NOW DISCONTINUED ) users, soon to be renamed the iPadduped
iMac super thin... oohs ahhs.. osothin !!
Super.. oh wait.. I just counted the number of times I actually looked at my iMac from the side over the past 2 years... NONE...
but for those who do and there must be a lot of you ?? .APPLE will be releasing an iLAZY SUSAN so the proud new owners can rotate the unit anytime they want.. only $99
I also have turned off MBW because of his anti-Apple rants. I'm not an Apple apologist, and I don't mind constructive criticism but if I wanted to hear about Android, I'd turn to an Android show. Plus it's become blatantly clear that Leo is Apple bashing simply to rile up fanboys.
Nevertheless, congrats Rene. Just don't quit your own iMore show! It's so much more balanced, and a refreshing change from the TWIT network. Plus, best of all, you're a Canadian!
I'm with Vox and DrewBear, I wish you all the best on the show Rene, and you'll certainly add some much needed class and intelligence to the show, but it might as well be called "AndroidBreak Weekly" with Laporte and Ihnatko. The anti-Apple sentiment is strong with those two, especially that nutter Laporte. I'm fine with a little Apple criticism from time to time, iMore offers it when appropriate, but a show for Mac fans shouldn't be positively dripping with it.
