Giving Back to the Community
Giving back to the community we've called home for the past 25 years is part of our core culture here at Deschutes Brewery. What better time to talk about the importance of businesses being involved in charitable giving than today, International Corporate Philanthropy Day (ICPD)? This international advocacy day was originally founded by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, the only international forum of business CEOs and chairpersons focused exclusively on corporate philanthropy. We say every day is for giving back, but if a recognized day like today helps raise awareness, then we're on board!

Nuggets can't get a break to save their lives....Steve Blake of all people with the dagger!
doesn't Kobe have an outstanding arrest warrant in Colorado? Maybe NBA arenas are exempt - as in US embassies on foreign soil.
one of my basketball pet peeves is going for the wide open easy 2, when youre down like 5-6 pts with under 10-15 seconds remaining.
being down 4 with 7 seconds gets you no where ty lawson!
nuggz got sternfucked tonight. it happens. gotta have kobe vs kd/rw storyline next round. i are drunk.
Yeah that travel call when the player is jumping to tackle you is pure stern.
pretty good game going on in la between the grizzlies and clippers right now.
overtime. nice.
The only series worth watching in this 1st round...
blake pushed gasol to get the key rebound and putback for 2. Refs blew it.
well, chris paul has just about ended this series.
Just put this in the OKC thread. It looks like Perkins is still "day to day" according to the Oklahomoian this am. Meaning they don't yet know, or more likely aren't saying how bad the injury is.
Here's hoping the Lakers go to 7.
wow, rondo win and fail in about a 10 second span.
Josh Smith had money on Boston. I didn't watch much, I've conceded this series, but I'm...intrigued as to how they'll play in game 6.
Am I reading that score right? Chicago up 35-26...AT HALF??
When the Staples Center changes the floor from Clippers to Lakers, do they change the lightbulbs too?
strange how Rondo could not shake Smith in the open court as he had plenty of time to take it to the hole or dish to PP/KG
How does that damn little Asian woman with no emotion on her face get courtside season tickets every year?
Apparently her name is Jet Woo Kim, and she is reportedly friends with Jack Nicholson (maybe only because she has had those court side seats for almost 20 years!)
She is probably just a season ticket holder who can afford the seats. Some have speculated that she is in real estate. A couple sites also said that ESPN has done a story on her, but I did not find it.
And I thought it was funny that someone created a Facbook page for her....
EDIT - I found this short article about her which appears to be at least a reputable sports reporting site.
The old guy next to Jack is usually Lou Adler
^^^^ The Shag needs to be the site to crack the mystery of who this little bitch is.
An ESPN blog identified them as Kay Harrington and Yori Saneyoshi, who owns the front row season tickets, for more than 20 years.
can denver actually pull this off?
yeah i just meant tonight. didn't see this coming at all.
if they win tonight, i think they can get it back to la for a game 7.
McGee was an awesome acquisition - gave them badly needed size, shot intimidation, and a matchup with Bynum. Best I've ever seen him play.
here comes the lakers run...
mcgee is $#@!ing balling.
oh wow, kobe.
That guy is badass. What the $#@! are you talking about?one old perv that sits next to Jack.
i am honestly shocked he missed that.
wonder if kobe will shoot it here?

There are plenty of things in the UFC that make no sense at all. Bonnar being in the HOF is one of them.
There are plenty of things in the UFC that make no sense at all. Bonnar being in the HOF is one of them.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
It comes down to one thing. Do you (A) look at the hall of fame is a chronicling of significant people and events in the sport, or (B) do you look at it as a place to honor the very best? If you go with (A) then he absolutely should be in the hall of fame. If you go with (B) then hell no. It is the opposite for Jon Fitch. Just by looking at which guy is in, and which guy doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell, should show you the UFC's school of though on the matter.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
It this the pre fight hype to the UFC's first ever HOF'er fight?
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
I can't muster enough care to worry about the joke-HOF, or about Tito, or Jenna or Bonnar.
It's odd. I'm generally opinionated to the point of sanctimonious prick-dom, but this is a dramatic departure. I even clicked on this thread by mistake, I thought it was going to be about Roy Nelson. I'm having trouble even finishing this pos...

30 Years Ago: Black Sabbath's 'Born Again' Album Released
It's been 30 years since heavy-metal godfathers Black Sabbath released 'Born Again,' their 11th album and the only one to feature former Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan.
But this intriguing rock 'n' roll match-up was not fated to last. There was certainly every reason for excitement, given Sabbath's glorious resurrection behind Ozzy Osbourne's first replacement, Ronnie James Dio. Gillan's career was more impressive than Dio's, as were his album sales and, in its equally spectacular way, his voice.
Still, the demons that had been consuming Black Sabbath over the past few years loomed heavily over guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward like the grim reaper. Whether you want to blame the baggage or simple incompatibility with Gillan, the bottom line is 'Born Again' was no 'Heaven and Hell.'
Some fans found things to like about the pile-driving opening number 'Trashed' or the cleverly worded 'Disturbing the Priest,' but others took issue with everything else — from the clunky songwriting drudgery of 'Zero the Hero' and 'Keep it Warm' to the LP's wind-tunnel production and its famously heinous cover art.
Others simply couldn't get their heads around Gillan's tongue-in-cheek, frequently double-entendre lyrics, which — when wedded to one of the most serious bands on the planet (they were the lords of doom and gloom, don't forget) — birthed a true Frankenstein of an album. So no matter which faction you align yourself with, you'll probably agree that 'Born Again' remains one of Sabbath's most divisive records.
When dismal sales, Ward's deteriorating health and Spinal Tap-inspiring tour debacles (namely, the infamous Stonehenge stage set) expedited Gillan's return to a newly reformed Deep Purple, this new version of Black Sabbath never even had a chance to hone their chemistry into something special on a follow-up album. Instead, 'Born Again' gave way to the most confused and uncertain phase of the band's long career.

The only thing that hinders Gmail's growth is the fact it's still an invitation-only service (except in the US and few other countries). PC World informs that, as of today, Australian and New Zealand residents can get a Gmail account without invitation.
"As we prepare to broaden availability, we have decided to launch these efforts in Australia and New Zealand first," said a Google Australia spokesperson. The Google representative said that Gmail will be out of beta when "strong internal metrics" will be met. Those who use Gmail know that there are days when Gmail is not accessible or is very slow, so there are still problem with scalability.

Rated 5 out of 5�by bostonbelle beautiful love this dress. beautiful colors, flattering fit. there is a violet purple liner underneath that doesn't ride up when I walk, so that's a plus.There is a slit in the front covered with a separate piece of fabric that flows freely (somewhat visible in the picture here). I wish that was in the back as it looks more elegant and makes more of a statement. Sometimes I wear the dress backwards for this purpose. Colors appear brighter in person than they do in the picture. Fits a little large--I'm 5'6" size 6 and i wore a small (I usually wear a M at bebe). May 1, 2014

Let em put a slave ring thru u're nose u're prob not going to like where they're taking you. Think.
I def see a reason for multiple accounts. I don't see how others DO NOT see a reason for them. Guess it is the way a game is set up.
I liked multiples on Perfect World International because, with graphics on low, you can duel client on your PC. I would put 2 chars on my PC and 2 on my roommates then play all of them at once. I could form a party with myself and not have to go thru the garbage of waiting for others to show up (no dungeon finder). listening to them fite, and I can keep all the booty. I don't see it as illegal or cheating because it was hard to play 4 chars at the same time, esp since my roomy's PC is on the other side of our apt. And I could only do this when he was at work. That was fun for a bit until his PC crashed and I had to replace it (it was very old plus I don't fully trust those Microsoft updates because they're what crashes every PC I've owned).
Then I was willing to buy a game card for both accounts - $10 ea which was $20 a mo. I have restrictions on myself that I am only allowed to buy one game card a month.
I replaced my roomy's PC but I have not had an urge to go back to PWI so that money was wasted. Stupid ennui.
Otherwise I'm playing f2p and my mule accounts I don't put money on.
Best console game: DD Dark Arisen. Best mmo: GW2. Best game series ever: The Sims.
I have two accounts in WoW (and had them for years) simply because I like dual logging sometimes... but I don't do it to become overpowered in PvP or stuff like that, I actually never dual logged for PvP. I liked to be able to support my weaker characters with my main/stronger ones. Want to quick run some lower level dungeon but don't have the time to find a group? Just dual log and do it. Need a ride to a hard to reach location? Log my main with his two place rocket, and take the alt as passenger. I also did it before the enchanting profession was able to create scrolls, so I could self-enchant my main's gear.
There are many reason to want to have two accounts in a MMORPG.
PS: I actually own 3 wow accounts right now... but 1 is a "free to play" one limited to level 20 with a couple of level 20 characters on it, so I can still log in and say hello to friends without having to reactivate my main accounts.

I had 4 accounts in SWG, remember you could only have one character per server.
I was mainly a crafter, had allot of player run shops, we had a town, a small guild, wich became pretty close friends (unfortunaly lost touch with most of them), we had a website/forum http://home.planet.nl/~walke050/main.html (still partially working it seems)
Due to me being a crafter my name got slightly know, so many custom orders from players I just couldn´t keep up with just having one account, and since I loved kinda all crafting professions I just knew more characters would expand my gameplay and serve/help/assist allot more people who needed my crafts. While I mastered all professions except Jedi I had the most fun being a Crafter, later to become Trader
You see back then you actually needed other professions besides players into combat. There was more to it then needing a individual or random groups to complete a mission/quest.
There was decay, sure you could repair it, but with every repair decay set in, eventually making your item obsolete (eventually we got full repair kits that could repair anything completely broken, and ended up with a complete wipe of the decay feature because there where to many complaints from mostly ex-players and to some extend base players.
Will admit at the time of playing SWG I was a freelance-sound engineer that gave me more time then I currently had for several years. Though my life was completely different in 2007 I still returned, started with new characters, and after 4 monts or so decied to open up my old accounts, to see if there still might be things worth salvaging. and while before I opened up my old accounts I already was making good progress with my new trader characters in the way of making good business. And due to knewing that my old characters really had tons of resources I felt the game was fun enough to reopen them to gather those things still usefull.
I actually left the game in 2007 which I played for about 8 months again due to to much custom orders. Yes I do bring a large part of my rl into my game with the I want to be the best at what I do/create but in a meaningfull way towards others-community.
Okay personaly I will not multibox in a themepark game, but I am positief many do, like me I am sure most don´t do it to be a d### towards others, but like in rl there are some bad apple´s out there. Just don´t let them cloud your judgement on a bigger scale.

EVE = 3 accounts, 1 was main char, second for spy/intel so I could keep eyes on popular gate camp routes, and 3rd for transport
WoW = 2 accounts, 1 for me 1 for family
FFXI = 2 accounts, 1 for me 1 for girlfriend
The only game where i felt it was absolutely necessary to have multiple accounts was EVE Online.
That said, I'm no longer subscribed to EVE, and I think it's terrible that the game is so ridiculously hard to enjoy without multiple accounts.

To explain further as to why a few of us SWG guys had 10+ accounts.
SWG up until the 2005 you could only have 1 character per account, 2 if you had a jedi, this changed in 2005 to 3 characters if you had already unlocked jedi or changed to 2 if you did not.
Rescources in SWG where not your standard Iron, Steel etc nodes that you just harvest as you do in other games.
In SWG rescources where underground and you had to place a mining installation on them the thing is these rescources always changed a practice we called "shifting"
A shift could last anything from just a couple of days to a month or 2.
Each rescource had a number variations of it eg Steel had 10+ types and up to 6 different stats from 1-1000
A particular crafting recipe would not only require a certain type of steel but also require 4 of 6 stats to be 975/1000 for a perfect craft the times that a particular rescource came into shift over 9 years with these 4 stats in a 950+ range could be counted on my hands so on those rare occasions that something great came into shift is when we would sub the 10+ accounts specifically for mining this particular rescource.
I actually remember one particular Aluminium that never once came into shift on Chimaera server with acceptable stats in 9 years it wasnt until server transfers and bringing some from other servers that we managed perfect crafts of certain weapons.
This helped our server and our crafters by ensuring they had a long lasting supply of these great rescources as we never knew IF never mind when it might come back in shift and it of course made us a tidy credit profit over the years as we where the only source of it.
If we didn't have it though our server would have been running round in underpar gear.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?
GW1 - 2 accounts (1 for me, 1 for wife and the kids shared both)
LotRO - 2 accounts (1 for me, 1 for wife. kids didn't play) - but I only ever paid for the ROI expansion for 1 account
GW2 - 2 accounts so far. I'm considering buying a third specifically for the kids because they are still very low level on my wife's account and she is really into the game. So much so that she's already talking about making alts and hates sharing the bank space.
Of course, I've never paid for a subscription and never will, so I probably don't really count here. :)

Gaming is my hobby. Been doing it for 30+ years. I do have pristine boxed software. All that I totally get.
What I don't get is the need to have multiple accounts to play a game. To the core of my being this makes me itch. It just feels like cheating so much. That is just be I guess. I mean, I feel bad about having lots of alts to craft stuff. I don't actually do it to make a killing on the market but to see all the crafts, I love completing all aspects of a game. But at no point have I ever felt the need to buy 2 accounts to play a game. I play a character, if I can't do something I either don't do it or get help from others. It simply does not enter my mind that I sould ignore all the other players and do it myself.
As I said erlier, even if I had money to burn (and when I was contracting a few years back I did) it wouldn't cross my mind to buy another account to play 2 characters at the same time. Buy more slots for alts, sure. But play 2 characters at the same time? Baffles me.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the RPG aspect of these games? I come from a tabletop background, enjoy roleplaying etc...To me the closest you get to multiboxing is playing a GM. But even then, you are not doing it to gain an unfair advantage over others, you are doing it simply to tell a story. Multiboxing in an RPG is just....wrong....best I can put it really. It just totally misses the point of playing the game.
Bottom line, I have been called an addict to gaming, I am actually studying game design to combine my obsessive hobby with a job.....but I still don't get people that feel the need to multibox...guess I will never get the mentality...but when I am selling games I hope you all completely lose it and buy hundreds of accounts each. I know who wins in that situation :)

2 Accounts in EQ, main account for my beastlord and backup account for my wizard/chanter/druid to be multiboxed as needed (when I didnt have the time or inclination to spend 45 mins trying to get a group) or outside group as buffbot. Guild I was in (Thudds Wrecking Crew - Rathe server) were nearly all multiboxers raiding with 3-5 chars each.

By creating more characters you perveted the normal running of that mechanic. You have essentially made the game more and more biased through greed. Instead of just playing the game, having fun when you find a rare and just playing, you turn the game into a set of statistics where the point of playing is lost in the midst of trying to win, even if you use tactics I consider cheating.
Imagine a 100m sprinting race with 8 runners.
You bet on 1 of the runners and get good odds.
You then bet on a 2nd runner...but you get the same odds.
You eventually bet on all 8 runners...and the odds haven't changed.
You might will the bet and some money but at no point can you say you are a good gambler or lucky when you bet. Your focus is on the money, not the skill it might take to choose wisely. Plus, because of how you are betting, you are not getting odds calculated to balance the risk.

You don't get it because you probably still see it as necessity, not desire. No one needs a second account. Some want a second account to achieve their goals and interests - competitive, alt-related, RP, espionage, or just because they enjoy their game THAT much.
If you really plan to be a game designer, this might be something you're going to want to get a decent handle on. ;)

I had 5 SWG accounts and 11 characters on the Tarq server. I had three for Diablo 1 & 2, but those weren't sub. I didn't play UO or DAoC or any game around that time very long so only had single accounts. From '03 - '06 I had 11 subscriptions, 5 were for SWG. The others allowed you to have multiple characters per server, so there was no need for more accounts.
Having multiple accounts is not always about winning at all costs. In my case it was about alts in a single character game. the majority of my alts where crafters entertainers and healers. After the NGE the number of players fell, and these classes become a commodity.

I can understand your point of view, but a game is not perfect, and without multiple accounts, a lot of people would not have played as much as they did.
The more accounts you have the more time consuming it becomes to deal with them all, and with SWG resources shifting you can not just keep dumping loads of harvestors down all the time and get the best resources of everything. Keeping up with all the resources and the shifts would drove you insane, so it still meant buying stuff and resources from other players who crafted better items.
You still have to rely on others to get the resources of other stuff, and in the past which was better. You can go for years not getting the best resource, but people in the past got the best and you still have to buy from them if you want the best, so multiple accounts made no difference, except make sure the server had plenty of the best resources, after they have shifted.
If it is impossible to get the best any more, then that just makes people quit. Multiple accounts became part of the mechanics, but I guess if multiple accounts were not allowed, the game would have probably been dumbed down, and they could have made any old iron do, and be all the same quality
I have only ever had 1 account per game I play. I have had up to three games (briefly) at one time. That was EQ1, WoW, and CoH. Then again, I suck at multi-tasking :)

Star-studded Lineup Revealed
Friday, August 10, 2007
McFarlane Toys brings the very best of the NBA out in their 13th series of basketball figures. NBA 13 features the Sports Picks debuts of three players; three new poses for sequel players, and our first-ever figure hoisting the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Take a look at the latest basketball figures from the courts of the NBA and the mind of Todd McFarlane:
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL: The best center in recent memory helped deliver the Miami Heat's first championship. It was the fourth title in O'Neal's illustrious career, so he's no stranger to the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.
JASON TERRY: Dallas' point guard starts the new season with something to prove - the Mavericks brought the league's best record into the playoffs last season, only to get bounced by the Warriors in the first round. Terry looks to lead the Mavericks' "Season of revenge" while also leading the league in sock thickness.
LeBRON JAMES: We were all witnesses as "The Chosen One" delivered the most dominant performance of the playoffs. James scored 48 points, including the Cavs' last 25 points as Cleveland shocked Detroit 109-107 for a double overtime victory in Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavs finished off the Pistons one game later, but faltered in the NBA Finals - giving LeBron & company unfinished business in 2008.
CHRIS BOSH: After losing Tracy McGrady to free agency and trading away Vince Carter, the Raptors made sure they would hang on to their next great player. Chris Bosh is just 23 years old, and will be spending his next three or four years in Toronto as the heart and soul of the Raptors.
DWIGHT HOWARD: The highlight of this year's NBA dunk contest was watching Howard dunk a ball with his right hand while slapping a sticker onto the backboard with his left. The sticker measured 12 feet and six inches from the ground. The awe-inspiring dunk only garnered a 42 score from the assembled judges (Michael Jordan offered an "8" score, to which Charles Barkley remarked, "Michael done lost his damn mind.") It's just the beginning for the 21-year-old Howard, who looks to team with Rashard Lewis and lead the Magic into the playoffs in 2008.
PAUL PIERCE: Boston's longtime superstar has endured losing seasons in six of his nine years in the NBA, but help has arrived as the Celtics traded for established stars Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to help ease the burden on Pierce. With talent flanking him and the Eastern Conference wide open, it's a great year for a renaissance for basketball's elite franchise.
NBA 13 is scheduled to arrive in stores this December.

I posted this in the FE thread but I copy it here:
I think MMORPG.COM should change their scorig to just 1-5 stars to just reflect the overall quality of the game and make the score less controversial. But Im sure they want their reviews to be controversial just to generate traffic and get more money from adds
This how I would like to see the score scale here:
1 Star - Some really bad asian grinder (A bad game which noone should bother with)
2 Stars - Darkfall (not a very good game but a small group of players will love it)
3 Stars - Fallen Earth, Champions (Good game but is lacking polish, content)
4 Stars - Aion, LotrO (Solid, high quality game but not perfect)
5 Stars - No MMO deserves it yet. (Great game , both different/innovative and highly polished with all the features we expect from a great MMO and caters to alot of playstyles in a good way)
Also I would like the "second opinion" that alot of reviews on IGN.com have. If you get a review with a pretty low score, check with your other writers if anyone can give another view on the game so we can get 2 differnt perspectives.

I never said I was pulling it due to the score.

Just to add...
Joe Iuliani system specs: aoc re-review
Every review he state's LAG! as a con,now tell me you do not find that just a bit strange?
He only had 2gb RAM he has maybe went out and bought another 2gb with the money you paid him for this review so he can cover his track's.Do the right thing and pull the review of Fallen Earth and have someone else write a new 1.

Just simply use 5 STAR Rating system like the movies do, if you want to play it safe.
The 1 through 10 rating system approach allows you to choose every game based on a %. It is almost an accurate percentage. But, the problem is the psychology in things. With so many choices, it makes it difficult to rate a game.
A 5 out of 10 almost sounds like bad game when in fact is is just average.

I have little patience for humans...
We need a few things
1) A Standard Review Format
2) Multiple Reviews (All using the Standard Review Format)
3) A quick reference to see how a reviewer has rated other games, so we can see if he's generous or too hard on games.

I scream and yell when I play a game, just have to remember to take my heart pills first..
Standardize the review format broken down into levels of play/depth
First Impression
10-20hr Playtime Review
In Depth Review
Expansion Review
Write the format based on the above or something similar and have each part of the format should have a rating level...ie.
Graphics - 1 to 10
Animation - 1 to 10
Lag - 1 to 10 (lol sorry could not help myself)
But at the end of the review, the scores are averaged and would the true score of the reviewers, have the moderators read the reviews and make sure they scoring is objective and fits the reviewers information..pretty basic stuff..I had thought it was something like this before but I guess we all live and learn.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand Binary and those that do not.
As a suggestion, to be counted in the list of ideas, I'd rate and do rate games on the way I play them. I pretty much play every P2P game that comes along and give it its free month, not many make it past that month but some do and then they get a full 3 months further view, sometimes up to 5+yrs if it really gets me. Anyway, I'd like to post these thoughts on my own internal review and usually what I put out to others if I were to rate it.
1=i would take it out back for target practice, while 10=Glory to thy name you are the 2nd coming
1. Gameplay- Is it fun, what was my fun factor, how long did It take to get bored, did grinding start right away, was in difficult or hard to level, was there a new twist on mechanics that made it interesting. Twists to guild tools, UI differences good/bad. Is there more then one race to play, a few classes, many skills, FPS? Is there interesting things to do other then combat pve/pvp? is there a crafting system, how deep is the crafting system, how weak? (Rate 1-10)
2. Sound-Does the sound jive with the world, is it just a compilation of crap standard music, do sounds happen when they should (i.e. animations sequences)., Does it sound choreographed, does the sound help me immerse myself into the world and really get into it and lose tract of hours. (Rate 1-10)
3. Video-Does it have stuttering, does it chunk my card and make it crawl in FPS, does it have to high requirements to be good for casual gamers or too low. Do I have to go spend money on upgrades to really play this properly, and is it worth it to do so. (Rate 1 - 10)
4. Quest System-Is it kill 10 rats and fetch quests repeated exponentially, is it realistic, does it make sense, does it change the world, does it do anything different to expand the genre. Is the quest system linear, open, no quests, few quests, significant quest story lines/arc that feed into an epic real quest line that shakes the foundations of the world on discovery? (Rate 1-10)
5. Visually Appealing-Does the textures and background make sense for the world, is it appealing, does it flow properly or look patched and hacked together, are there seams ready to burst open. Does the overall art design follow the vision of the game and flow together right, to cartoony, too reaslistic, to over shaded.. (Rate 1 - 10)
6. Combat (PVE) -general feeling of combat is fun and immersive, does it give everyone soemthing to do to feel a part of a group, a party or effective as a solo player. Does it feel like i have to grind incessantly to reach end-game to compete or have fun. Is it a race or casual game where it occurs naturally. (Rate 1 - 10)
7. Combat (PVP)-Balanced? Fair, Zerg Fest, ganksquads, FFA, does it fit the world, does it make sense, is it all instanced or world pvp, does it support other areas of the gameworld, does it only happen at end-game highest level, is it a race to the end game to compete? (Rate 1 - 10)
8. Roleplay-Does the game support role play, is it immersive enough to encourage roleplay, does the community support roleplay, are there us and thems? Pickup roleplay groups? are there tools that assist roleplayers in doing what they like, is it an open enough world to facilitate events. (Rate 1 - 10)
9. World/Environment-Overall world design makes sense, does the world look different then other games, is it a clone? Are there glitches? To much instancing, zoning, phasing, or to little? (Rate 1 - 10)
10. Support-Community, forums, customer service ticket response, helpful forums or chat areas, trade and tech areas in chat, ingame voice support, in-game gm support, quickness of response time? Helpful community leaders, designated helpers? Asshats? Barrens Chats? (Rate 1 - 10)
I take these 10, rate them and then add together and divide by 10 and there ya go you got your score and a pretty overall fair rating touching most elements of the game. Granted many of these kinda of slide over each other but try to stay unbiased as possible while still getting the idea across of how you feel about a game to say guildies or what not and I have used that method before in the past.

"Everyone is born with just a spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
--Robin Williams
I would recommend dividing up your scores into two categories. Subjective and Technical. Then have the reviewer write it up along these lines.
Each category should have two scores.
At the end, provide 3 scores: Technical Score, Subjective Score, and the average of the two. The overall technical score should be an average of the tech scores, but the overall subjective should not have to be. Though if the review is written properly, the overall subjective score SHOULD be around the same area as the individual subjective scores.
A review needs an actual opinion in it. Otherwise a box-stacking game might make a perfect 9 on the technical side, but actually be about as fun as well, stacking boxes.
Other than that I would like to see some other subjective scores on the potential of a game. There are many games out there that start off not-so good, but have great potential and should be "watched". There are others who are great, but didn't leave themselves alot of room to "grow" (Champions Online, i'm thinking of you.) Lastly I would like to see some sort of meter for determining how well a game is meeting its potential. Some games squander it, others start to develop it.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Remove the rating system completely. Make the review as informative as possible. Describe the game mechanics without giving any kind of opinion. Make a suggestion what kind of players might enjoy the game and what don't.

The use of stickies to group discussions into one thread and subsequent locking of posts on that topic outside of the thread.
Wouldnt it be just as easy to merge the locked threads into the main thread as a whole, thus not losing potentially valuable insights made in threads outside of those stickies?
Personally i dont like the use the use of the sticky threads for grouping topics like this anyway.
F2P/P2P excellent thread.

"Racing to endgame is like racing to the end of your vacation."
I think reviews should declare up front what the reviewer has received from the company. Beta Key, Beta key plus perk, free game account, free game account + 1 month sub, free game account + 3 month sub, temporary account that is deactivated after the review is written.
It would provide two benefts:
1, it should give the reviewer and the those reading some perspective on value of a game. It's easy to say something is awesome, the most fun ever, especially when you did not have to pay for it. It also provides some perspective, would the reviewer keep paying to continue playing, even if s/he got the original product for free. It also can short circuit skepticism when a reviewer states "I'm still playing the game 1 month later" -- well, gee, is that because you're still using the free time the company gave you?
2, it begins to pull the back the curtain (a bit) on anys concerns of payola (although not entirely, given ad buys. That could be short-circuited by declared number of buys though -- doesn't have to be how much they paid)

On this site there are almost 100 games with a User Rating score of between 7.00 and 7.79.
That's 100 games with a score within 8/10th's of each other.
Which essentially makes those scores useless for determining the quality of a game.
So, with the rating system as it is, the reviews by the staff take on a greater importance and meaning.
I agree with many of the suggestions mentioned so far for improving the mechanics of the reviews.
But for me, the most important attribute of the review should be it's integrity.
Is the reviewer able to give an honest opinion without any outside pressure from advertisers or other monied interest?

Id like to suggest that when you review F2P games, that you scrutinize their cash shop. The cash shop is essential in those games, and I'd like to know how it holds up in comparizon to other games. Are there items for sale making the game P2W? How is the pricing system - is this more expensive compared to other, similar games? How far can you actually play without paying, and how will the game really be if you do? What is the estimated average the gamer should spend to have a fun time in the game without too much grind/hinderances?
Not reviewing how the cash shop actually works is the same as closing your eyes on a very essential part of the game. This is not good. Please fix.
In the article entitled "Five reasons to continue playing swtor", several of us called out the author for being coerced into writing this half hearted attempt at pushing an unpopular game. Those posts have been deleted. with no reason except for "stay on topic"
A forum member created a thread basically saying that League of Legends is popular because mmos suck. Lo and behold, that article gets pinned and becomes an "IN the Spotlight" thread... I posted that something isnt right about this and that I think its just a sleazy way to attempt to shuffle traffic to one of your sister sites rtsguru. Another memebr agrees. No response as to why an LoL fanboy thread gets stickied as a spotlight on an mmo forum.
whats going on with this site? that article for tor felt so forced. the 5 reasons were pathetic. it reeked of paid advertising. and mmo bashing threads promoting rts get spotlighted? seriously, is it time to declare this site officially sold out?
Im having a tough time finding redeeming qualities of both the moderators and writers. get your crap together guys. you're going to turn into a joke before you know it, and you wont get that back no matter how hard you try to turn it around after the fact.

I do occassionally read MOBAGu...err RTSGuru when they do articles on something other on MOBAs.
yeah moba articles on this site i can tolerate to a degree. but this was a flame post made by a forum member, not a writer, and it gets spotlighted...
btw, im getting a kick out of my star rating mysteriously going down as I raise these questions.
SO my previous posts get deleted and a moderator says to post my concerns in this thread. Is this where concerns and complaints go to die around here? Because Im not seeing a single reply to any of these issues in this thread. If you're just going to ignore people's issues with how this site is being ran, why bother even telling us to voice our opinions here?
Your silence is only reaffirming what a lot of us already believe.

I agree with the idea of getting rid of the review scores altogether. It's been argued before, by people with greater passion and eloquence than me, that reducing creative works to a single numerical score (or series of scores) does not do them justice. In addition, articles such as this piece about EEDAR highlight the correlation between review scores and sales. This in turn raises questions about the relationship between publishers/PR and reviewers, and how pressure may be placed upon the reviewer to award a particular score. This is most clearly evidenced in cases where the final score does not appear to be in step with the tone and text of the review.
I think that way too much weight is placed on review scores and that gamers would be better off without this convenient but distracting shorthand.

Considering that this site is not only a paid advertiser for the games it reviews, but now also directly sells these games and profits by doing it, details of business relationships with publisher/producers and/or a disclaimer of such are badly needed.
In most other industries, when a review site/publication is paid by the company whose products it is reviewing, it is usually heavily disclaimed.

There is no way to fix the review system. Bigger name titles get bigger scores.
Being paid or not for it is beside the point. Your reviews are biased.
So we'll just keep doing what we're doing. Find user reviews elsewhere, come here for breaking news and forum community. Same as always.
The Deep Web is sca-ry.

Two Dorchester County athletes did nearly all the scoring during the 2012 South Carolina Automobile Dealers Association North-South All-star Game.
Fort Dorchesters Daitwan Commodore scored a pair of touchdowns and Summervilles Jarrod Tucker scored the other as the South earned a 23-0 win over the North in the 64th annual event held at Doug Shaw Stadium. The only other score in the game was a safety by the South defense, a unit that had a lot to do with the one-sidedness of the game.
It is the Souths first win since 2004 in the game that pits some of the best senior football players from the southern part of the state up against their counterparts from the northern part of the state. It is also the Souths first shutout over the North since 1989. The North leads the series 36-26-2.
Commodore carried the ball a dozen times and scored on runs of 12 and 3 yards. The performance earned him the Souths Offensive MVP honor. Tucker, who split time between fullback and tailback, helped the South get off to a fast start by dashing 78 yards for a touchdown to put the all-star team up 7-0 with the PAT kick.
Lake View linebacker Darius Leonard was the Souths Defensive MVP. He recorded nine tackles, including six solo stops.
Newberry wide receiver Tovaris Cuerton was the North Offensive MVP. He caught three passes for 58 yards.
Spartanburg linebacker Simeon Byrd was the North Defensive MVP. He logged 11 tackles, including a tackle for a loss and a sack.
Others Lowcountry athletes who participated in the game are: Deangelo Stephenson (Bishop England), C.J. Frazier (Bluffton), Jalen Stevens (Goose Creek), Anthony Smalls (Hanahan), Roderick Mccray (Timberland), Noah Shuler (Stratford), Shawn Peace (Stratford), Chuck Rouse (Wando), Rudder Brown (Wando), Marquis Webb (Bluffton) and Michael Myers (Goose Creek).

My 2012 season was not what i was expecting. Oregon has been fairly good to me over the years as far as hunting goes. But as time goes on, I find it harder to find success. One would think that afte hunting some areas for over 20 years it would get easier?
I hunted deer a total of 18 days. I saw a total of 13 bucks most of those were one day when I ran into an area that held 9 bucks. None of them ever let me get into bow range.
I also hunted elk in the Cascades with a rifle, I have hunted this area for many years. I typicaly don't have a problem finding elk there. This year I hunted 7 straight days and never saw an elk.
I sometimes wonder if I am trying too hard, I hunt harder than most people I know, I always have. But lately it seems no matter how hard I hunt, I see less game now than I used to.
I have respect for the people on this site, I wonder what you think. I know I'm not a bad hunter, I've had too much success for a bad hunter. Should 18 days of deer hunting and 7 days elk hunting end up with tag soup? Do I need to start hunting out of state?

A genealogy blog focused on families settling in East Tennessee and the Northern Neck of Virginia with explorations of Rusyn roots.

Serendipitous Results
I'm blessed/cursed to be the family archivist. I have vital records, letters, diaries and photographs of my immigrant grandparents; boxes of papers and photo albums hauled up from my great-grandfather's house in 1996; crates of my grandmother's letters, photographs, research notes, grocery lists, bills, and newspaper clippings. There are a couple bags of research and photographs from my mother and aunt. This summer I've added digital copies of my husband's great-grandmother's papers to the mix. It's overwhelming. Who would be interested in this?
Well, it turns out people are!
GeneaBloggers LOVE reading each other's work. I suspect many of us have few people in our daily lives who are fascinated by the details of what we do. This was unexpected, but has been great fun.
Cousins have contacted me after reading the blog - especially on my father's side of the family. This has been a joy. It's the reason I began. Nothing beats connecting with family members interested in family history.
I've not had as much luck connecting with cousins in the more established American families I research, but I have been amazed by who has contacted me about those lines. I expected interest in the blog to be limited to family historians, but, with the power of Google, other researchers are finding posts of interest. I've had a wonderful exchange with a gentleman researching the history of his high school, a school where my great-uncle coached (more on that in a later post).
Three people researching house histories have emailed me. One man is researching a family home in the area where Thomas James Meredith's son settled. He kindly told me my Meredith posts have been helpful (hallelujah!!). Given how besotted I am with the family, this pleased me more than I can express. He's confirmed that the Thomas Meredith in Gloucester County is the son and generously offered to share some documents and photographs. I do love those Merediths!
Two people actually live in homes that belonged to great-grandparents. They found the blog by googling their addresses or the previous owners' (aka my g-grandfathers') names. Both are restoring the homes (to my delight) and have appreciated pictures and information about the houses and families that lived there. I've learned about present day adventures and had the chance to visit with the family living in my Sawyer family's homestead. I'd not been back since my last great-aunt died in 1996. It was beyond wonderful to see another family making the home their own. I even found an old painting of the house tucked in my archives (basement) and returned it to Tennessee. Far better it should hang there than gather dust and who knows what else in my "archives".
Not at all what I expected when I began this project, but these experiences have heartened and encouraged me to keep on digitizing and blogging. Now, back to work. Only a few thousand items left to scan or transcribe...
I mentioned that GeneaBloggers love reading one another's work. That this work also inspires and motivates us is not always so clear. I was catching up on back reading and saw once more a grand series of posts last month by Heather Wilkinson Rojo on her Nutfield Genealogy blog. She spent a week blogging about the joys of unexpected results in her Serendipity posts. I read them at the time and loved them. I have to think they inspired the theme and title of this post, though I was slow to recognize it. Belated hat tip to Heather!

Quick comment, thanks for mentioning the addresses of your ancestors. Great idea, and I need to do that, google them and also put them in a blog. I also hope current owners have taken interest in their homes, such as restoring them. Good post, and I'm glad you've got a lot of work ahead.ReplyDelete
Great post and I can so identify! My great grandparents homes are now parking lots so no luck with that. But it is a good idea.ReplyDelete
Wonderful post Susan!ReplyDelete
I think (and hope!) that most bloggers have had similar experiences. It's so exciting when someone contacts a blogger because of a post. I think some of your contacts have been a little less common - those who live in your ancestors' homes, in particular - than many of us. What fun!ReplyDelete
Oh Susan, you have expressed the amazement and joy that many of us have found as genealogy bloggers. I hope we all continue to have this wonderful experience you described.ReplyDelete
Boy, does this post hit home with me. Yes, similar experiences - it really does teach us that it pays to share information, and that often means specific information such as old addresses. Besides cousins, I have corresponded with people who specialize in research in certain Civil War units, for example. Blogging really puts us in touch with interesting people. Talk about an extended education.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reminding me that every time I get discouraged with blogging something completely unexpected happens to keep me going. Greta is absolutely right, sometimes we have to share specifics. We need to exercise caution not paranoia.ReplyDelete
This post really hit home with me as well. We are in a similar situation.ReplyDelete
I was particularly struck by the idea of including specific addresses of ancestors homes. It simply hadn't occurred to me! How I would love to make contact with current owners of some of my ancestors former homes. Thank you!
The genealogy blogging community was an unexpected surprise to me as well. Yesterday when Tina Lyons and I were talking a mile a minute during breaks at the KGS seminiar, a lady at our table joined in the conversation and it was apparent that she thought we were long time friends (or maybe that I was Tina's mother, but I digress). When we told her that we'd only actually met in person one other time and it was a year ago she was amazed. I think she's considering starting a blog.ReplyDelete
I agree--it's wonderful how genealogy blogs enable us to connect with others. I've reconnected with several cousins--and we solved several mysteries. It's amazing how different people have pieces of the puzzles (that in some cases we didn't even realize were puzzles until we started communicating with each other).ReplyDelete
I think we all start blogging because we need to get get our thoughts - about genealogy, our family, and other experiences - down in writing somewhere, and blogging gives us that outlet. But the cool thing about blogging, and entirely unexpected to me,is that it often validates your personal thoughts and expressions. Getting things down in writing is cool and all, but when other people read your thoughts and say,"Hey, I know exactly what you mean," it is a great feeling.ReplyDelete
I have been contacted by the descendant of the enlisting captain of my Confederate ancestors; a researcher conducting probes on behalf of a client and fellow Minor descendant; an unknown cousin who offered *ahem* alternative family stories. All of these unsolicited moments have produced such wonder, joy and amazement. How fortunate we are to have each other -- and our internet tools! :) (When I start pulling my hair over cataloging one. more. receipt. I will think of you and your boxes, then smile. I am NOT alone! :)ReplyDelete
Geneabloggers are like bonus additions to the family, I think.ReplyDelete
Always great to have someone comment when I am ranting about one of my brick walls...
Great post.
I know exactly what you mean (especially the blessed and cursed aspect as family archivist). I, too, wondered who the heck would be interested in my family's story, but just wanted a way to document the amazing historical documents I've discovered, deciphered, and translated. Just the tip of the iceburg so far, but as you've found, I've realized many others are interested -- and I thrill to their discoveries and shared thrills as well! Lovely post.ReplyDelete
