Grammy winner John Mayer to open 2013 Tuscaloosa Amphitheater season
Published: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 5:22 p.m.
Heavy buzz surrounds the Druid City as John Mayer prepares to break his three-year touring hiatus with a performance Thursday at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. The show will be Mayer's first stop on an international "Born and Raised" tour, planned to conclude at the Hollywood Bowl in early October.
What: First concert by Mayer after a health layoff, with the rising �Birmingham-based band opening
Where: Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, 2710 Jack Warner Parkway
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Doors open at 6:30
Cost: At press time, tickets — $45 and $75 — were reported sold out. Call ahead
More: 205-248-5280. www.tuscaloosaampitheater.com.
Mayer's last scheduled Tuscaloosa performance, April 2012, was canceled when the Grammy-winner was diagnosed with granuloma. The season opening show will kick-start Mayer's 40-date, post throat-surgery tour. Mayer will perform songs from 2012's "Born and Raised," his fifth studio album, featuring Tuscaloosa native Chuck Leavell on keyboards.
Opening for the multiplatinum artists is Birmingham's St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Front man Paul Janeway said he is grateful for the opportunity to play for a larger audience.
"I mean from our standpoint, we are going to play a show to a sold-out crowd for a really established artist," Janeway said. "This might be the biggest thing we ever do, hopefully not, but it might be, and that is something that we fully realize. This is our moment."
St. Paul and the Broken Bones is the little band that could. At nine and a half months old, the band has already established a solid fan base across the nation and recently headlined the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. The band is also getting ready to tackle the East Coast later this year.
"I still can't get over the fact that people are asking for my autograph," Janeway said. "That blows my mind. I'm like, 'You do realize I am an unemployed former bank teller, right?' "
The band's most recent Tuscaloosa performance was at Green Bar. The difference in capacity between that and the Amphitheater is about 7,400 people.
"I think it will be really interesting to see how our show translate on a stage like that," Janeway said. "This is the biggest venue we will play and the biggest crowd we will play to, but we do what we do and we are going to do what we do in front of 5,000 people or 100 people."
Austin native Sorelle Wyckoff said she is excited to see another charismatic performance from St. Paul and the Broken Bones and to see Mayer return to the stage.
"I was able to see them at SXSW, not knowing who they were, and I remember thinking, these guys are pretty good," she said. "When I saw that they were opening for John Mayer, I wasn't surprised. This Tuscaloosa crowd is getting one hell of a show."
Therese Bridges, Mobile native and University of Alabama senior, is more interested in seeing Mayer perform songs off "Born and Raised" live.
"This will be the first time he will do a full set for the album, so it should be awesome," Bridges said. "I like how his new album has a country feel and you can tell he wrote it all while recovering up north."
Mayer's stage performances make his shows legendary, she said.
"I saw him play in Charlotte, and he grabbed a fans camera and played 'Gravity' on the guitar with it," Bridges said, "it was the coolest sound. His guitar solos are even better live, he really gets into the music which is why I love it."
Mayer and St. Paul and the Broken Bones share soul and blues elements in their music. Eric Weisbard, former editor for Spin Alternative Record Guide at Spin magazine and former music editor for the Village Voice in New York, said the artists also share similar inspirations.
"The one thing that John Mayer and St. Paul and the Broken Bones share is a great reverence for the rock and soul of the '60s and '70s," Weisbard said.
Weisbard, now assistant professor of American studies at the University of Alabama, adds what this opportunity means for St. Paul and the Broken Bones.
"I think it is a good gig for them," Weisbard said. "It is proof that a lot of people, locally, have a lot of faith in them."
Alabama Shakes keyboardist Ben Tanner, who produced St. Paul and the Broken Bones' latest album, will also perform with the band Thursday night.
Janeway said the band is polishing a new album set for release in September.
"I think the album is really good," Janeway said. "We just kind of captured moments, and Ben kind of worked his magic. It is really something we are proud of."
The heavy energy that makes both the band's performances and its record so successful transmits to audiences, forcing them into the music to build a connection, he said.
"We just kind of feed off each other," Janeway said. "I really don't know where it all comes from. It is just high energy, and I think people can be like, 'Oh man, that music is terrible but those guys have a hell of a time.' "
The 2013 Amphitheater season announced so far includes Brad Paisley with Chris Young and Lee Brice on June 14; Earth, Wind, & Fire two days later on June 16; and fun. with Tegan and Sara on Sept. 16.

A friend of mine sent me a press release about a new tv show airing tonight on USA at 11pm. The show, "Out Of Character With Krista Smith" features interviews with Gwyneth Paltrow, Seth MacFarlane, and Jason Wu and while normally I can't stand these vapid celeb puff piece interviews, Krista is actually a great interviewer so I'm looking forward to it. I've been watching her for a while because of her day job as Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor, since VF often posts her interviews to their website to supplement the great articles she writes. VF is one of my favorite mags and seeing as years ago for about five minutes I technically worked there and got to meet Krista, I'm rather excited about it all. Check it out tonight!

bahahahahaha!!! love it
If its helpful I have 2 pure white domestic shorthairs (one part manx with a short crooked tail), and i totally am the eye wiping slave, and pin cushion, and drool wiper. Lol. I love them anyways too
awwwh, I always feel so sorry for these smooshed face cats and dogs. I'd rescue one from shelter but I'd never buy one as I can't help but thinking breeding an animal who's looks are valued more than their ability to breathe is just a bit wrong.
I'm glad he has a willing slave to keep him cleaned up though!
I'm glad he has a willing slave to keep him cleaned up though!
awwwe thats so funny XD but I'm the same I would so keep it!!
So cute, and accurate. Gotta love'em though
If you crawl on the floor of my apt at kitty-eye level there will be all these little reddish speckles of eye-boogies from my Himmie shaking his head if I dont get to him first, I feel really bad for him (and all peke face kitties) it's not their fault they were bred that way ;_;
Is it wrong I think the bottom is cuter? The kittens eyes are lower than its nose ... Lolololfailface
Ahh yes.
XDD hahahaha
still cute in its own way : P

Dear god, it's Wilford Brimley in cat form.
They both are so cute
It could be worse...I had a longhair whose butt fur I had to trim regularly, or else terrible, terrible things would ensue. D:
Yeah, these cats tend to be prone to sinus problems ._. an ex-boyfriend of my mom's had an orange one (nicknamed Jerbo) and we had to cat sit him for a bit... eye goopies and snot everywhere. Had the cutest meow for a boy cat though.
aaawww :3 *cuddles him*
He is still cute.
He is still cute.
LOL, awesome.
So cute and so true, lol! I adopted my little Gary Jerome when his owner didn't want him any more. He was already an adult and would probably have been put down. 10 years later, not only am I his devoted eye snot cleaning slave, but I bet I've cleaned more Poopy Butt than the parent of a human child. Oh well! He's hilarious and my special little garebear.
I laughed very hard at this xD
I admit, that's why I prefer mutts XD Those poor brachiocephalic cats always make me kind of sad, but yes, he is cute in his own way!
I want so bad! Seriously though?? D:
bahhhhhhh! i love it!
That's cats for ya! Demanding but adorable.
awww, haha. Too precious
HAHAH!!! You won't believe it but this EXACT thing happened to me! I ended up with my Doodly Boots
Yeah... I have a persian... this is accurate...
...I feel kinda bad for them, such bad, fucked-up over-breeding :c
Either way, I think he's still cute, even though I don't support breeding these kind of cats (or dogs like these).
Either way, I think he's still cute, even though I don't support breeding these kind of cats (or dogs like these).
I have a 'normal' cat that we got at the shelter, but we figured she needed a buddy to laugh at
Haha XD
Well, all our four cats are "normal", not that there's something like a normal cat out there

If you're like most in-house or agency SEOs, you've had your share of challenges with convincing the IT department to implement your SEO-related changes. The traditional approach is for an SEO to make a very specific request to IT, then IT meets, discusses it and rejects it for various reasons. Then the SEO grumbles in frustration.
In today's SearchDay, "IT Roadblocks? Try Some In-house SEO Training," Jessica Bowman outlines a better plan: in-house SEO training for IT staff. By equipping IT with SEO knowledge, they can truly understand the problems that search engines face with your site, and then come up with their own solutions that are technically feasible (and they are willing to implement).

Rebuilding and Restoration
Rebuilding and restoration services are uncompromising in terms of quality, thoroughness and attention to detail. All work is individually tailored to the specific needs of the instrument and with the goals of the owner/player in mind.
We utilize the most modern technical methods and computer modeling for analyzing scale construction and design, soundboard and rib design, action geometry and touchweight. All projects are engineered for optimum performance. All hammer selections are customized taking into consideration tonal as well as touchweight requirements.
Our goal is to develop each instrument to its highest potential while insuring that services provided are in line with customer objectives and the value of the instrument. We examine all original designs and executions to insure that the acoustical design properties and details of the piano are (and were) adequately addressed.
We specialize in vintage New York Steinway pianos but have extensive experience with both New York and Hamburg Steinway pianos as well as many other vintage American and European pianos.
We are sensitive to the needs surrounding the restoration of family heirloom pianos. Many families don't wish to part with pianos that have been handed down through the generations but are reluctant to undertake a full restoration project because of the perceived limited market value of many of these instruments. While the market may not always recognize these instruments in terms of resale value, many of them have great musical potential that shouldn't be underestimated. With great care taken to design and execution, these pianos can perform as well or better than many of the more easily recognized name pianos and can be restored with musical and structural integrity to last several more generations.
Rebuilding projects are accepted from all regions of the United States and we can help you to arrange transportation.
Go to "Pianos for Sale" pages for our current inventory of available pianos.
If you are selling a piano we offer brokering services.
We do not currently consign instruments for sale.
We periodically purchase select pianos and are especially interested in older Steinway grand pianos in original condition.

New Pavement for Scott Street – Smoother Ride for Bikes Wiggling on Routes 30, 47Thursday, June 4th, 2009
Here's what Scott Street looks like these days in the Lower Haight – new macadam is a coming.
What's next, the Scott Street Bike Lane project? Possibly.
And of course, there's always the Snick route on McAllister as an alternative to The Wiggle. Your choice. (McAllister was scheduled for a striped Class II bike lane going uphill through the Fillmore, but that's on the back burner for now.)
No matter, all wheeled vehicles will soon be enjoying a smoother ride on this short stretch of Scott.
Project 3-5 Scott Street Bicycle Lane, Fell Street to Oak Street
This project would involve the installation of a Class II left-turn bicycle lane in the northbound direction on Scott Street between Oak Street and Fell Street. This project includes two design options:
Option 1 would add a northbound Class II left-turn bicycle lane by removing the left-turn lanes on northbound Scott Street approaching Fell Street and on southbound Scott Street approaching Oak Street. No parking spaces would be removed under Option 1.
Option 2 would add a northbound Class II left-turn bicycle lane by narrowing travel lanes and removing approximately three parking spaces from the west side of Scott Street between Fell Street and Oak Street. The existing left-turn lanes approaching Fell Stree and Oak Street would not change under Option 2.

What Happened at the January Board Meeting
For CAA's Board Meeting on January 21, we once again gathered remotely. The technology worked very well, and we're thinking of continuing this format going forward.
After reviewing updates from the Executive Director and the Communications & Events Coordinator, we discussed the results of our year-end fundraising campaign. The number of unique donors and the amount raised were both up over last year. We also reviewed a donation history report that tracks donations over time. The board was pleased to hear that our new staff person, Brita Bengtson, will take over as our bookkeeper.
Next, we turned our attention to our upcoming strategic planning session. We will be taking time in late March to discuss what kinds of objectives we see as most important for the organization. Should we focus more on outreach or on community building? Or should we focus on both? Should we concentrate on helping those who've transitioned to a plant-based diet stick with it or should we work on getting people who eat animals to begin eating fewer of them? And how can we measure our progress once we've decided on our objectives?
We'll also be working to articulate in some detail how exactly we see each of the programs we plan to engage in as connecting with our objectives, as well as how to assess them. As a way to help with the project of planning and evaluating programs, we will be reviewing the work of Humane League Labs and Animal Charity Evaluators.
If you find this kind of work interesting, please consider participating in our strategic planning session. We'll be meeting on Saturday, March 26.
We are still looking for board members. If you're interested, please contact Unny Nambudiripad at firstname.lastname@example.com and plan on attending our next board meeting, which is tentatively scheduled to follow the strategic planning session on Saturday, March 26.
Meet Our New Bookkeeper!
Though Brita Bengtson just started a new part-time staff position as Bookkeeper with Compassionate Action for Animals, she's been volunteering with the group since 2011 and a making a difference for animals long before that.
Brita went vegan in the 90s when she was about 15 years old. Looking back, she laughingly calls it "The Dark Ages of Veganism" and can relate to a buzzfeed-type list on the VegNews website called "You Know You Were Vegan in the 90s If…".
Long story short, there weren't nearly so many vegan specialty foods available back then. According to Brita, the only vegan cheese available was called "Vegan Rella" and was made out of Irish moss. (What?!)
When asked what made her go vegan, Brita says, "That's a hard question for me because I don't remember — and that's not because of the B12 deficiency." LOL! Did we mention Brita has a hilariously dry sense of humor?
No, she doesn't have a B12 deficiency, but she does have a lot of compassion for animals. She'd always felt a sort of moral conflict about eating animals and naturally moved away from eating meat by the time she was 12 years old. Then at an Earth Day festival, she found a little booklet called What's Wrong with Eating Animals, which also revealed the problems with the egg and dairy industries. That's when she went vegan.
Fast forward about 15 years to 2011. Plant-based food options were on the rise, and veg fests were popping up everywhere, including right here in Twin Cities. Brita was inspired by the idea of the veg fests, as they reach thousands of people in one day and make compassionate living out to be what it really can be: fun and delicious. It was then that she jumped into volunteering for CAA, taking on the role of Advertising and Media Outreach Coordinator for our first annual Twin Cities Veg Fest.
Since then, Brita has been a vital organizer for the festival. She moved on to be the Social Media Coordinator a couple years later and has done a phenomenal job with the festival's Facebook and Instagram pages. She sees social media as a good opportunity for free advertising, and, with her savvy approach to online communications, she has brought lots of positive exposure to Twin Cities Veg Fest and ultimately to our mission to help the animals.
When she's not helping out with CAA, Brita has a job helping people with disabilities with their daily activities. She also enjoys finding creative ways to make vegan food and has three cats: Precious, Chibi-san, and Mr. Biscuit.
As an animal advocate, Brita is always contemplating how she can be more effective. That's one reason she appreciates working with CAA; as an organization, we're always thinking about how we can do better for the animals.
Her commitment to the cause has her always learning new things. It's this passion that led her to apply for the part-time position as Bookkeeper for CAA. We're grateful that she is taking on this new behind-the-scenes role; these kinds of administrative tasks are really instrumental to the stability and longevity of the group. It's also wonderful when we can hire someone whose heart is so much in the work.
Welcome, Brita!
Meet Our New Intern!
Meet CAA's new intern Sydney Terwey. Sydney majors in Media Arts and Animation at The Art Institutes International of Minnesota and will be helping develop a variety of our design materials for the next three months.
Sydney hails from Long Prairie, a small town in rural Minnesota. Growing up around farms, she had a behind-the-scenes perspective on animal agriculture. Even on small farms, she witnessed the inevitable suffering and slaughter that are part and parcel when animals are used for food. She formed friendships with pigs much like people do with their dogs and cats, but then one day, the animals she had grown to love just weren't there. Such intense experiences led her to stop eating meat.
Now vegetarian for the past 8 years, Sydney was drawn to working with CAA for her internship. She appreciates that CAA is passionate about the issues but not pushy. She tries to bring this tactic into her design work and creates images that are warm and inviting, rather than gory or shaming. In this way, she hopes to make a difference for animals, grabbing attention and then getting people to think about their food choices.
Sydney's association with CAA began before her internship. For one of her design classes, she created an informational 2D and 3D animated advertisement for Twin Cities Veg Fest. (We'll be sharing the video in the next couple months to coincide with the announcement for this year's festival date and location.) The video was so impressive that we welcomed Sydney as an intern and very much look forward to all that she will contribute to the group and for the animals.
10 Tips on How to Have a Productive Online Discussion
As advocates for animals, we want to reach people with our message of compassion for animals and help others make compassionate choices. We have many opportunities to engage in online discussion, but the conversations can be fraught with conflict, misunderstanding, and pain. However, we can do things differently.
The first thing to remember is that online discussions are not the best way to communicate. If you can talk about animals with other people face-to-face, then do so. Be proactive in starting those conversations, whether at an outreach table or by sharing vegan food with friends. When online discussions start and you find that people are interested in discussing the topic further, invite them to have a face-to-face discussion. In-person discussion allows for nonverbal communication, including gestures, facial expressions, and tone of voice, all of which can increase empathy and understanding.
Sometimes it's impractical to speak in person, and online discussions are the only opportunity to discuss issues. For those circumstances, here are 10 tips:
- There's generally no need to respond right away. Give yourself time.
- Stop and breathe. Find peace in yourself before responding.
- Treat each person as an individual with their own needs, desires, and autonomy. You are much more likely to understand their perspective and also have them understand you.
- Listen to the other person. Start your comment or message by paraphrasing to show that you understand. Ask sincere questions to understand their perspective better.
- Show respect. Avoid sarcasm and condescension.
- Model open-mindedness. When people see that you're listening and trying to understand, they are more likely to do the same.
- Since empathy works best in person, accommodate for the medium. When you communicate, imagine your words being interpreted in the worst light and then edit your comment to help the other person understand your perspective. And on the flip side, interpret their words in the best possible light.
- Speak from your own perspective. Don't claim that your views are universal. And…
- When providing factual claims, cite sources that most people are likely to agree are reliable (e.g. industry or academic sources).
- Build bridges. Use the debates as an opportunity to find shared values and common interest that will keep the discussion going.
In public or group discussions, most readers (especially those who are undecided) never comment at all. This means that the people you're most likely to influence are not the people who are commenting, and those people are more likely to listen to you and agree with you if you are respectful and seek to learn the truth.
None of this is to downplay the real anger we may feel about animal cruelty or the frustration we may feel when those we care about are engaging in animal abuse. Those feelings are real, yet acting them out is not helpful. Cool down and respond with compassion and goodwill for both the animals and your audience.

Twin Cities Veg Fest: Past, Present, and Future
Compassionate Action for Animals recently hosted the fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest, and we've already begun planning for the next one. The festival continues to grow from year to year, and the momentum just keeps building.
Twin Cities Veg Fest is by far the biggest event that we produce, not only in terms of the thousands who attend, but also in terms of how much of our resources are devoted to making it a success. Here's why we think it deserves all of that and more: In one day, Twin Cities Veg Fest reaches thousands of people with a message of compassion for farmed animals. Those who attend get to enjoy lots of eye-opening activities, including delicious vegan food, inspiring speaker presentations, and informative cooking demos.
Research Findings: How Effective is Twin Cities Veg Fest for Animal Advocacy?
Our mission at Compassionate Action for Animals is to encourage people to embrace their empathy for farmed animals and to move toward a plant-based diet. All of our activities are designed with that goal in mind, and, as we grow as an organization, we look for new ways to assess how our outreach methods are having an effect. Are we actually fulfilling our mission and moving toward our goal of a cultivating a more compassionate community?
In 2014, we undertook our biggest initiative for evaluating our methods, and we used our largest annual event, Twin Cities Veg Fest, as a platform to do that. In creating a plan for the research, we consulted with a variety of experts, including Kathryn Asher and Che Green of Faunalytics (formerly Humane Research Council), food scientist Chris Homsey, psychology student Sonal Markanda, and Brandon Whited of Statistics in the Community. We incorporated their ideas into designing a research plan that would help us assess whether the 2014 Twin Cities Veg Fest had an effect on the behavior of attendees. Did the festival inspire them to take action for animals, either by moving further toward a plant-based diet, volunteering, donating, or sharing information about farmed animals? Continue reading
Vegan Education at Blaine High School
"…I want to become vegan."
"It was a great presentation and very inspiring."
"It was an eye opener."
These quotes are from students at Blaine High School in response to a Bridges of Respect presentation on factory farming and veganism that was given on November 6. Shannon Kimball, who coordinates CAA's humane education program, Bridges of Respect, had scheduled me to speak to two agriculture classes that had a total of 60 students.
During the presentations, I shared my story of what caused me to change from an avid meat eater to a vegan animal advocate; talked about the emotional lives and intelligence of pigs, cows, chickens, and fish; and exposed the link between animal agriculture and environmental destruction, including climate change.
Students were also invited to watch Mercy For Animal's documentary Farm to Fridge. This 12-minute video shows the sad reality that animals face in factory farms and slaughterhouses. Because of the video's graphic nature, students were empowered to take care of themselves and given the option to not watch. Most of them did watch it, and, because of their compassion, many of them were deeply moved and lots of tears were shed. Continue reading
Give for Compassion Today!
This has been a landmark year for our CAA community and for our global movement. We hope you've been able to attend a few of our events over the past year, from the dine outs and potlucks to the Vegan Chili Cook-Off and Twin Cities Veg Fest. As you may have noticed, our community of animal advocates is growing.
This progress reflects a global shift toward a greater awareness of animal protection issues and an increase in plant-based food options; undercover investigations of animal agriculture are getting more exposure while restaurant chains and grocery stores are introducing more vegan food. Hooray!
Because of your generosity, the movement is thriving. We thank you for your past support and now look toward the future for animals. At CAA, we know that there is much more to be done to see that all animals get the justice they deserve. We are committed to this cause, but we cannot do our work without your continued financial support.
Please help us reach our goal of $7,500 by making a contribution of any amount in the month of December. Continue reading
What Happened at the November Board Meeting
For CAA's November Board Meeting, we decided to gather remotely. Our hope was to explore this as an option so that we can recruit board members who may not be able to make it to the CAA community space.
We began with a discussion of the incredible success of our fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest. The event attracted about 2,500 people and more food vendors than ever before. We're looking forward to moving the event to a new venue next year as a way to make room for the festival to grow.
We really like the idea of offering an event like the Twin Cities Veg Fest on the U of M campus, though, so we discussed the possibility of holding a small scale version of the festival at the U of M campus during spring semesters. We thought we could encourage U of M students to plan the event during the school year and the event itself could be held outside of Coffman Union, for example, where food trucks could park. Holding the event outside could attract lots of passersby as well.
CAA is working with a new bookkeeper who has transitioned us to new web-based bookkeeping software. This will make the business of keeping up with the finances much easier, since those who need access will be able to log in to the online site rather than make their way into the office.
We ended the meeting by discussing how it went to meet remotely. In the beginning, it was difficult to iron out some minor technological difficulties, but in the end things seemed to go pretty smoothly. We tried using video chat for the first part of the meeting and then we transitioned to a conference call for the second part of the meeting. We found video chat was best.
We've decided that we'll continue with remote board meetings. Our next meeting will take place on Google Hangouts on Monday, January 21 at 6:00pm. Be sure to let us know if you'd like to join in. If interested, email Unny Nambudiripad at email@example.com.
Twin Cities Veg Fest 2015: Truly Amazing!
Our fourth annual Twin Cities Veg Fest happened just a couple days ago, and we're still feeling the excitement. We hope you were able to join us for this event, which was our biggest one yet with an estimate of more than 2,500 attendees.
Check out the slideshow below to get an idea of what the festival included. It's just a glimpse of the many exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, speakers, chefs, volunteers, and attendees who made this year's Twin Cities Veg Fest truly amazing. All of us at Compassionate Action for Animals are grateful to everyone involved. Thank you!

A few weeks ago, I met the gentleman who was my first boss in Bangalore. We were meeting after a long time, and over a cup of coffee, he asked me for my visiting card. He looked at it for a while, and said, "I don't know about you, but I feel very proud about this." It was a humbling moment. He then smiled, and asked me if I remembered our interview conversation.
Of course I did, because it was one of those occasions that changed my life's trajectory. He reminded me that when asked why I wanted the job, I had answered "..because my future wife already has a job in Bangalore and I need to move here from Cochin to get married'. He had laughed. The year was 2003, and thus began my life in Bangalore.
The conversation was a reason in itself for a bout of nostalgia, and as I made my way back home later in the evening, my mind was replaying the time I had spent in this city. But there was another reason too, and that's what this post is about. More

To borrow a John-ism: oh my goodness! You're either about to hate me forever, or laugh and offer to buy me a cupcake. Whatever the hell Nyan cat is, it's clearly a meme of terrifying scope. The original video's been viewed 46 million times, and now it's been snuck into Unreal 3 as a mod for the Redeemer. Just look.

Epic Fail: Bulletstorm Flops (But Unreal Lives)
This kind of thing just scares the hell out of me. While Bulletstorm isn't exactly the kind of game I'm going to put on a pedestal and hail as the one true future of electronic entertainment, it was a new franchise, a rare shooter that didn't take itself deathly seriously, a good-looker and a game that at least attempted a few bonus ideas. It did a lot of things right, and it was clearly having a great time in the process. Yet it didn't turn a profit for devs People Can Fly and Epic.

Hazard: The Journey Of Life
"Philosophical First Person Single Player Exploration Puzzle Art Game," apparently. I spotted Hazard: The Journey Of Life over on Indiegames, but I haven't had time to get it working yet. The video (below) is definitely worth checking out though, as this minimal Unreal Tournament 3 mod has a fascinating minimalistc presentation and promises some strange-looking puzzles. (More fodder for the first-person puzzle camp.) It seems to be a work in progress as the mod only runs at 800×600 and requires some batch-file fiddling to get working, as explained in the readme. (Which also instructs you to read itself…) Anyway, worth taking a look.

A Link To The Filepath: Airborne
I wonder if we're on the cusp of a golden age for Unreal Tournament 3 mods, after all these years of Half-Life 2's friendly tyranny. In the last few months we've had Prometheus, The Ball (which I'll also write about later, but I had a headache on the day I downloaded it. No, it's okay – don't weep for me) and now there's Airborn – all doing clever and pretty things with Epic's solid but strangely unlovely multiplayer shootybangbang game. Is this powerful engine gearing up for its community-led day in the sun? Back to Airborn, anyway. It's kind of like Zelda, but with less wibbling on about fairies and more airships.

RPS reader Robbie McKnight sent us a link to his new Unreal Tournament 3 map, which can be found here. He's taken something of an unusual angle on things as UT3 maps go: everything is built in primary colours and pre-school Platonics. I like the sun best of all. Compare and contrast, if you will, with this map. The two ends of the UT3 mapping spectrum, perhaps?
There's a video of Robbie's work after the hop.

Timed Morbidity: The Haunted
Having been messing around with UT3 again in the wake of the ongoing Make Something Unreal competition, I've picked up a load of levels and mods, some of which I'll probably post about here in the next few days. The one that I want to get out of the way first is the excellent third-person demon/zombie shooter, The Haunted. (It's an Unreal Tournament 3 mod, obviously.) Now I'm betting there are few people here who will sign for a moratorium on zombie games in 2010, but until then this is a genuinely excellent piece of work. There's a single player game, and multiplayer in which "humans" take on demons controlled by other players. The core concept for solo play is "just try and stay alive". And that really does become tricky as the ammo runs out and the baddies pile in. It's beautifully conceived and executed, and supernaturally bleak weather rolls in as the game unfolds, making it even more threatening. Get it here, or watch the video below for more flavour.
Disco Tech: UT3's Musical Deathmatch?
This is splendid, and slightly mysterious. Beneath the click is a kind of promo video for DM-Spectrum, an Unreal Tournament 3 deathmatch level by Matt Bradley. He's created a kind of disco battlefield, which, according to his Vimeo page, he hasn't yet distributed. It seems that players have to navigate via the disco light flags to find their enemy, but it's not obvious how that works. I've dropped Mr Bradley a line and will report back with more when I know more, or get hold of the map itself. In the meantime, have a look at the intriguing video below.
This was first on Offworld, which should be the other videogame blog you read.

Unreal Tournament 3 And The New Lazarus Effect
We probably should have talked more about what's been going on with Unreal Tournament 3 over the last couple of weeks. Why didn't we? Because it's not a game any of us feel particularly strongly about one way or another, and from earlier comments it didn't look like you lot did either. Having a famous name and being reasonably fun is no longer enough for a technically adept but fundamentally unambitious multiplayer shooter to grab the attention it once would have done.
Last weekend, that changed dramatically. Unreal Tournament is back, baby, back. And no matter how you or we or anyone else might personally feel about UT3, its unexpected resurgence may signal colossal change for PC games.

Weekend Sale: World of Goo Cheap. UT3 Black Free.
If any reader of any website is likely to have World of Goo, you have to suspect RPS readers are. We did the first review! We never shut up about it! However if for some reason you don't, Steam are selling it for 75% off this weekend. That's just over four quid. Go get it.
If you're feeling even four-quid skint, also over at Steam, Unreal Tournament 3 Black is free to play all weekend - plus 40% off the full game (Making it just over eight quid). It includes the Titan Pack, which is a hefty newly released expansion for the full game which includes lots of stuff which I'll lob beneath the cut. As it really is a load of stuff, including the word "behemoth"….

PhysX-on-a-GeForce: Next Week
You may remember Kieron doing science a few weeks back about NVIDIA's CUDA system – clever trickery that allows a GPU to perform processing feats other than pixel-pushing. There's a lot of real-world algorithm-crunching applications for it, but of most interest to gamers is that it can make your GeForce 8, 9 or 200-series card behave like a PhysX board. NVIDIA bought out PhysX makers Ageia a while back, and we're soon to see the fruits of such money-labours.
The big question is to what extent simulating cratesplosion will slow down the graphics rendering. We'll get to find out next week, with the release of the GeForce Experience Pack.

Road Rage
A cyclist confronted the driver who cut him off. Turns out the guy actually had a pretty great reason.
Mar 14, 2014 @ 10:37am
"Please continue on your reckless way, sir."
When someone cuts me off in traffic, I try to imagine they're experiencing an emergency of some kind, and not just being an asshole. It relaxes me. But this cyclist couldn't possibly have imagined the emergency the driver who cut him off is dealing with.
