Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (PS3) - 3 reviews

PlayStation 3
It is hard to believe that we are already at the third Uncharted game. The first one was a passable action game had its moments, but Uncharted 2 was an incredible game that had what still seems like an impossible combination of a beautiful game with great characters, well-written dialogue, and excellent gameplay. The only weak point of the game was its multiplayer, which seemed like an absolute afterthought. No game has managed to surpass Uncharted 2 since it came out, and now we finally get to find out if the game's own sequel can finally become Uncharted 2's superior.
For starters, Uncharted 3 still looks absolutely incredible. Every texture has been painstakingly built piece by tiny piece to look as realistic as possible, and the light shining on them makes them look even better, with some of the best shadows that exist in video games today. There is certainly a reason that Sony always uses Uncharted when they want to show off what the PS3 is capable of. All of that said though, the game doesn't really look all that much better than Uncharted 2, though that's not really a knock on the game.
Just like Uncharted 2, the story sort of boils down to a relatively simple Indiana Jones type story. You are hunting for a treasure that it just happens some bad guys are searching for, and the treasure is hardly ever what you were expecting it to be. Even though the story might be mediocre, the characters are as well written and well acted as they ever were. Every character you come across, from the primary protagonists to villains, to faceless thugs, all feel alive thanks to their acting and motion captured animations.
As long as we're talking about things that are just like Uncharted 2, lets talk about the gameplay. Here, absolutely nothing has changed. There are no new combat features, and you'll be doing just as much climbing, running towards the camera, and puzzle solving as you did in the last game. The multiplayer also hasn't really changed, and still contains a bunch of modes that are certainly fun, but the game's multiplayer doesn't come anywhere near other third-person shooters that are already on the market. That said, its a fun diversion, and since you already own the game you might as well try it out, at least for a little while or until you get tired of it, as its not bad by any means.
If you haven't picked up on the common thread that has run throughout this entire review, Uncharted 3 is extremely similar to Uncharted 2, almost to a fault. That's not to say that this game is bad in any way, but it certainly doesn't manage to do anything new or all that interesting compared to the last game. That said, since no other game has even come close to the level of quality that Uncharted 2 demonstrated, this game is still definitely worth both your time and money.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is a refreshing break from all the first person shooters currently flooding the market. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, was a wonderful sequel to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is a different animal altogether. This game raises the bar for how inclusive and engaging a video game can be. If you loved the first 2 Uncharted titles, you'll be blown away by Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception.
This franchise is known for well crafted storylines, which is a big reason why it's become so popular. Drake's Deception builds and expands on the first two Uncharted titles. The characters are well formed and dialogue is fantastic. While Among Thieves was mostly a continuation of Drake's Fortune, Drake's Deception is an opening of the characters and their world.
The main plot of the game is focused around Nathan "Nate" Drake and Victor "Sully" Sullivan trying to find the legendary Atlantis of the Sands. We are presented with a well crafted background story for Nate and Sully, which plays out in flashbacks. The game has a great mix of action, drama and humor. Just like previous Uncharted titles, Drake's Deception knows how to make key moments memorable by adding strong emphasis on emotion.
It isn't all positive however. The storyline does have some frustrating blunders. For example, the villains in the game are not very well explained, Chloe is now a barely used and mostly irrelevant character, there is no real boss showdown.
Drake's Deception has everything you loved from Among Thieves and Drake's Fortune, except more polished and finesse. The Artificial Intelligence is greatly improved as enemies are now smarter, able to diverge on your position quicker. The weapons system has been updated and improved.
The shooting mechanics and hit detection did seem to take a step backward from the two previous titles. It is now more difficult to take enemies down and head shots don't register with the same regularity.
As is always the case with this series, graphics are amazing! The graphics have greatly improved from the two previous titles. While the game looks a lot like the two previous ones, it's the added detail that makes it so much better. Drake's Deception pushes the cinematic feel that Uncharted has become famous for. When it comes to graphics, Drake's Deception is almost impeccable. It is one of the finest games ever in this regard.
Adding online mode to Uncharted 2 was what propelled this franchise in a new direction. While the online play was not perfect, it did capture the spirit of single player adventure wonderfully. Drake's Deception follows in these footsteps with an exciting multiplayer experience. Online content is similar to Uncharted 2, but runs much smoother. Multiplayer mode is centered around team-based matches of up to 8 players. There are also free-for-all matches that can be played. The biggest change is seen in the maps. Uncharted 3 multiplayer maps try to replicate the cinematic aspect of the campaign. Other progressive aspects of multiplayer are, leveling of characters, a medal system, and perk-like-boosters.
If you're still on the fence about buying a PS3, Drake's Deception might just win you over. It's graphics are known to push the limits on PS3. The storyline is solid with only a few nuisances and gameplay is better than ever. It's no wonder it won PS3's "GAME OF THE YEAR" award in 2011.

Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception on the PS3 continues the story of Uncharted in a big way! Continuing with industry leading graphical prowess, Uncharted delivers one action packed platformer, laced with the turns of an intense story line it has become known for, all topped with the most beautiful and realistic environments you will see next to opening your front door. Actually there may be parts of Uncharted more beautiful than real life. It is that good.
Uncharted's developer, Naughty Dog, struck gold with the franchise, as both previous titles; Uncharted Drakes Fortune, and Uncharted 2 Among Thieves were both coveted as Playstation hits and boasted awards and honors alike. Not to be outdone, Naughty Dog aimed for Drakes Deception to build on everything the first two created, but this time do it even grander and utilize all of the Playstation 3's power they possibly could.
The single player campaign may easily be the best for any action game of all time (yep, I said that!) Ranging from burning buildings to desert lands full blinding sand and hills, Uncharted Drakes Deception takes you on the ever so mystical hunt that the series has led us to become so involved with, this time in search of the city known as the Iram of the Pillars. This time, more so than ever, the cinematic elements are heavy handed and quite frankly mind-blowing. It has become a trademark of Uncharted games, those cinematic yet playable moments; however Uncharted 3 makes it flow so perfectly it genuinely feels as if you are controlling a movie. It isn't just on occasion either, the game is filled with moments that take your breath away or leave you on the edge of your seat. Emotion is high, as you can be swept over by terror just as seconds later joy blossoms. This strong campaign may lead to the only actual gripe of the game, however, as you want to keep playing it but generally an initial play through will take under ten hours. Though the extras and multiplayer keep the game alive, let's not joke - the campaign is what you buy Uncharted for.
On to the multiplayer, not much has changed from Uncharted 2. The most notable change being more customization and a general improvement in design and graphics, but for the most part they simply built on the success of the multiplayer dynamics in the second game instead of entirely rebuilding it. The improvements and familiarity was a good move by Naughty Dog, as for a game that is known for its single player campaign the multi-player is fantastic and keeps you engaged and coming back!
As any review of this game will mirror, it is hard not to rave. Uncharted 3 is on levels most can never dream of reaching, and it a perfect showoff of the power of the PS3. I don't think it is possible to not be impressed and to say it is perfect would almost be an understatement - it is simply that good!

More than 400,000 wreaths made in Maine are on their way to Arlington National Cemetery and hundreds of other locations across the country. It's all part of the annual Wreaths Across America event, which honors fallen men and women from the U.S. military during the holiday season. A Maine couple, Morrill and Karen Worcester, started the event in 1992. And their company, Worcester Wreaths, has been supplying wreaths for it ever since. Tom Porter has more.
Maine's First Lady Ann LePage is traveling with the Wreaths Across America convoy, which left Maine on Sunday, and will arrive at Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow. Gov. Paul LePage will join his wife and the convoy there for the wreath-laying ceremonies. Tom Porter spoke to Maine's First Lady earlier today, while she was on the road in Maryland.

So your 4 alts are the MAJORITY of Alteil players? Roger that.
The search function works now, just do a search on mirage master and you can have a better idea on what the average is. Here, I'll do the first searches for you.

The point I'm making is if we had a double pull daily lotto like a previous event, we'll more likely to break even with the 15g a day. If we just presented that offer instead of 3 pages of how we used to pay our mortgages with Mirage Master then maybe the GMs will listen.
Fargone and MysterMan probably has the best posts on what they think of Mirage Master. It's not fun playing a game meant for 12 year olds and I hope it never comes back.

Lets just face the music Laker fans, the fat lady will be singing tomorrow night and it'll come to the tune of thousands of OKC fans chanting "Beat L.A."
Don't misunderstand what I'm saying here, I am a die-hard fan like everyone else but I have to be levelheaded. Let's just say for whatever reason the Lakers miraculously win three straight to advance to the conference finals, L.A. will most likely be facing a perfect San Antonio team who's yet to lose in the playoffs. Lakers beating the Spurs is not going to happen. This season belongs to someone else.
It's okay though because after having to painfully watch the Lakers gift wrap yet another game to OKC, the reality of the opponent simply being the better team heavily sunk in and accepted. Many fans will have difficulty accepting such a reality as they seek perfection, a silly expectation created by past rosters. Unfortunately the current roster isn't made up of 17th banner material.
We all knew that the Lakers were the underdogs coming into the series so anything given to fans outside of the predetermined is just tortuous hope. The inevitable outcome will only leave new fans in outrage and old fans expecting to see their team fully exposed and blown up in the off season...again.
Pau Gasol has been the usual suspect in trade talks for several seasons now and given how he's performed in these playoffs look for his name to be advertised for a possible two-for deal. The Spaniard didn't help his case either. So far in the playoffs, he's exceeded his 17.4 PPG regular season average just once. The teams usually effective 1-2 punch in Kobe/Pau has been reduced to exhausting jabs by Kobe. Luckily for the Lakers Denver had a weak chin. OKC does not.
Ramon Sessions will most likely opt out of his contract leaving the Lakers organization with the all too familiar void at the one spot. Sessions played great for the Lakers when they acquired him mid season but has shown clear weakness in comparison to a much quicker gunslinging Russell Westbrook. Westbrook's 25-point series average has debunked Sessions who is averaging a mere 6.5 PPG.
With Andrew Bynum's career season high look for Kupchak to pick up his $16.5 million option in the Summer. Things will get really dicey after next season though since both Bynum and Howard can potentially be free agents. Until then, we'll have to deal with Bynum's immaturity and separation from the team.
So the big off season question still remains, will the organization keep Sessions as their #1 option or will they focus on picking up someone else that can help orchestrate and put together this championship caliber team? Kobe offense, whether forced or not, will not lead this team to another championship title. It's no wonder why point distribution is an ongoing issue.

House Gardener of Highgarden is an extinct Great House of Westeros, dating back to the time in which the First Men ruled the entire continent. Prior to the Targaryen conquest, they ruled as Kings of the Reach. Their sigil depicted a green hand on a white field.
Its founder was Garth Greenhand, who wore a crown of vines and flowers and was said to have made the land bloom. Many of the noble houses of the Reach, including House Tyrell and House Florent, trace their descent to him.[1]
The Gardeners became extinct when Aegon the Conqueror invaded Westeros. The King of the Reach, Mern IX, joined forces with the King of the Rock, Loren I to make battle against the invaders. In the battle, that became known as the Field of Fire, King Mern died incinerated when Aegon unleashed his three dragons, Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion the Black Dread, against the combined forces of the Reach and the Rock.[2] Harlen Tyrell, who was steward of Highgarden, surrendered the castle to Aegon, and he was afterward made Lord Paramount of the Reach and Warden of the South.

Police say a bare light bulb that was hanging in a closet started a house fire this morning in Kinston.
Firefighters got the call around 10:20 a.m. to the home on Railfence Drive.
Police say the light bulb caught clothes on fire that were in the closet and caused some $10,000 in damage to the home, mostly from the smoke.
The homeowner told police he remembers turning the closet light on and then walking outside when the fire started.

The Colorado Public Employees' Retirement Association is one of 21 state pension funds that are not "fiscally sound," according to a national investment research firm.
The report, from Morningstar Inc., found that 21 states' aggregate funded ratios were below 70 percent, the threshold which Morningstar considers a system to be "fiscally sound." The funded ratio was determined by dividing a pension plan's assets by its liabilities.
PERA has $26 billion in unfunded liabilities. Lawmakers in 2010 passed a bipartisan piece of legislation that raised retirement ages for government workers, reduced annual cost-of-living adjustments and required increased contributions from government employers and their workers.
The Morningstar study said Colorado's PERA funded ratio for its state division was 57.7 percent, the number it based its "not fiscally sound" determination on. However, some of PERA's individual divisions were better off.
The Denver Public Schools fund, for example, was funded at 81.5 percent, while the local and judicial divisions were each at 69.3 percent.
The school division fund, however, was only a little better off than the state division, registering at 60.2 percent.
PERA has been continually under fire from some critics for not changing its 8 percent rate-of-return assumption. The fund in 2011 saw a 1.9 percent rate of return, and this month, PERA board members narrowly approved keeping the 8 percent standard.
PERA officials contested the findings of the Morningstar report, saying the firm conducted its per-capita analysis only on the state division, getting the 57.7 percent figure. PERA says its overall funded ratio is actually 60 percent.
That would still put it under the 70 percentthreshold, though PERA officials say that's why the 2010 reforms are so important.
"The Morningstar analysis looks at only the State Division trust fund and draws misleading conclusions about the burden of funding the plan, a particularly concerning conclusion in light of the reforms enacted in 2010," said Greg Smith, executive director of PERA. "These reforms were recommended by PERA, adopted by the General Assembly and are missing from the Morningstar analysis.
"Recall that Colorado PERA was the first public plan in the nation to recommend comprehensive changes that ensure PERA's funded status going forward," Smith said. "These significant reforms, enacted in 2010, must be allowed time to work. Actuarial projections using year-end 2011 data show that the PERA trust funds are on track to be fully funded in 35 years.
"Finally, it is misleading to use a flawed per-capita calculation for liabilities as Morningstar has done because PERA's liabilities are long term and cannot be made due and payable at once."
But State Treasurer Walker Stapleton, a Republican who has been a constant critic of PERA's assumed rate of return, said the Morningstar report was just the latest in a growing chorus of voices agreeing with him.
"It just shows you how fragile a system PERA is and how at some point the state of Colorado is going to have to figure out how to pay for these retirement systems," Stapleton said.
Incoming state House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, also pointed to the 2010 reforms, saying, "I think we've done some steps to definitely move it in the right direction."
Adjustments may need to be made at some point, he said, adding, though, "There are some who would like to use the economic downturn to take away people's pensions."
Eric Brown, a spokesman for Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said the governor wanted to monitor the progress from the reforms closely.
"We are committed to changes if the fix isn't working," Brown said.

Trying out a new idea on Tcritic doing a daily t-shirt connected to a historical happening of the day, let me know what you think.
For March 2nd, i wanted to recognize the death of Philip K. Dick, avid science fiction author & explorer of the psyche.
The Dreaming Of Androids T-Shirt is a charming reference to one of Philip K. Dick's renowned novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which was the basis for the classic movie Blade Runner.
I also liked "Mental Refinery from District Cotton," because of the similarity the woman bears to a replicant & the metaphorical exploration of the psychological.
UPDATE: More PKD stuff from Diesel Sweeties, thx boogah who suggested this in the coments
Also you can watch A Scanner Darkly, another PKD inspired movie on Netflix instant.

The battle over the budget continues this week in Washington.
Lawmakers are trying to figure out how to keep the government funded past the end of the month.
Lawmakers believe they can pass a resolution that would prevent a government shutdown, but, they will have to do it quickly because they have a two-week recess starting next week.
The resolution would keep the government operating beyond March 27th.
After that comes debate over the 2014 budget and the debt ceiling.
Despite several meetings between lawmakers and the President, all sides remain far apart.
We'll keep you updated with what our lawmakers decide.

Jersey Shore: Abercrombie & Fitch Offers The Situation Money To Not Wear Their Clothes
August 17, 2011 08:34 AM by Kristin Watson
There's a situation brewing. Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is actually a pretty good guy but Abercrombie & Fitch has decided it does not want him to dress in their garb — and they'll pay him not to. Read on for all the details…
Let's face it, Abercrombie & Fitch is known for some risky catalogs, so why is it so against Jersey Shore's The Situation wearing their clothes? Better yet, why are they willing to shell out a generous amount of money to make sure he stops wearing them?
"We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image," Abercrombie & Fitch said in a statement.
So, what they are saying is half naked models in a catalog is a better representation than MTV's The Situation? We're not convinced that's true, but we'll let them continue their reasoning.
The retailer went on, "We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans."
Here's what they had to say about the monetary end of the situation:
"We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino and the producers of MTV's The Jersey Shore to have the character wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently waiting a response."
We think The Situation is the perfect person to wear their clothing. He likes to take his shirt off, they like to put models in their catalogs that are barely wearing clothes — what's the problem here?
The Situation told New York magazine last year, "Abercrombie & Fitch, their most popular shirt, they told me, is 'Fitchuation.' I mean, where did they get that from? Obviously from myself."
Do you think Abercrombie & Fitch has any reasons to be concerned over The Situation's representation of their brand?

To the editor:
2010 is an election year for many city, county and state offices. Many candidates have filed to run against incumbents.
I would like to issue a challenge to all parties seeking election to run clean campaigns.
In some elections, candidates use fault-finding, mud-slinging tactics, even lawsuits in a desperate attempt to get votes. Voters in Oldham County are weary of this type of politics.
A candidate should promote his or her qualifications, experience and knowledge of the office they seek, not attack the opponent.

The Parachute is designed for only one purpose in the two GTA games it appears in: to safely return the player to ground level after falling from a significant height. The parachute debuted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and then later returned in The Ballad of Gay Tony and is to be featured in Grand Theft Auto V.
Falling prior to GTA San Andreas
In GTA games prior to GTA San Andreas, death by falling occurs less frequently, resulting in the lack of need for parachutes. While considerable damage may occur as a result of falling in Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2, the top-down environment resulted in restricted height of buildings, lowering the possibility of such fatalities; with a full health, the player may fall roughly four times from a moderately high ramp before dying.
By Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the player is allowed to access rooftops of multistory buildings and skyscrapers, but the player's resilience to damage by falling in both games is increased to a level where it is possible to unrealistically survive jumps off from a substantial height (i.e. a moderately tall skyscrapers), although death may still be achieved by jumping off the rooftops of the tallest skyscrapers via extraordinary means (such as a third party teleporter or jetpack). A lack of aircraft and ability to eject from moving vehicle or technical limitations in early GTA games are also factors for the late adoption of the parachute.
GTA San Andreas
GTA San Andreas introduced a more realistic range of damage incurred to the player when falling, where the severity of damage is amplified; jumps from moderate heights will deduct substantial amounts of the player's health, while jumps from extreme heights may result in certain death (unless the player's Health is full with the statistic at 100%, where falling from even the highest place will only result in approximately 95% of health loss) . With such modifications, the parachute was introduced as a life-saving option, available after exiting any flying vehicles from great heights, or in various high elevations throughout the State of San Andreas, including building rooftops.
Utilizing the parachute is done by pressing the "fire" key, as with weapons. However, there are a few seconds of delay after leaping from an elevation before deployment is possible. Once the parachute is deployed, the player may control their descent by rotating left and right, and by pushing forward or pulling back on the main control to speed up and slow their rate of descent. Pulling back on the parachute also allows the player to land running, instead of falling prone, as occurs when not pulling back. Parachutes also introduce the concept of "freefalling" as the player is capable of entering a controlled diving position after jumping from a high altitude whenever he is wearing a parachute, rather than flailing whenever they fall from a height without one.
After landing, the parachute is automatically removed from inventory and Carl needs to obtain one again from a spawn point before making another jump. However, once Carl obtains his pilots licence (by completing the Learning to Fly strand) he is automatically equipped with one whenever be bails out of an airplane that he is flying (an exception being the Andromeda in the Stowaway mission).
While introduced in GTA San Andreas, GTA games released prior to The Ballad of Gay Tony have not resumed the adoption of the parachute although GTA San Andreas' fall damage configuration remains roughly the same.
- Atop the tallest building in Downtown
- Atop the Big Pointy Building in the Financial district
- Atop the western tower on the San Fierro side of Garver Bridge
- Atop The Emerald Isle casino
- Atop Mount Chiliad, near the vista point, on the slope between the Camper and Journey
- Atop the Tierra Robada-side tower of the Gant Bridge
- Atop Arco del Oeste, inside one of the wooden structures
- Atop the radio tower/control tower near The Big Ear
- At the top of the spire on Rotterdam Tower, right before the second ladder leading to the top of the aerial.
- On top of the Statue of Happiness's coffee cup.
- On the docks next to the helipad in Westminster which spawns a Buzzard after the storyline completion. A Base Jump is here also there too.
- On top of the building with the glass overhangs on the roof located on Rand Ave and Mahesh Ave. The parachute is on the northeast corner of the roof.
- On top of the building located at Emerald St and Borlock Rd in Fishmarket South. This building has a helipad on top.
- In Luis Fernando Lopez's apartment after the completion of 15 Base Jumps.
- Atop Liberty State Pavillion Towers in Meadows Park.
- On the south end of the eastern legs of the Broker Bridge.
- Underneath the helipad above the Booth Tunnel on the Alderney side.
- Can be brought from Armando Torres for $100.
- Since the parachute is controlled by the script, there could be times when the parachute won't do what it is supposed to do. These glitches are rare but can happen.
- When deploying the parachute, CJ can become stuck in freefall mode. So once he hits the ground, he gets wasted instead of landing safely.
- Hitting the water without deploying your parachute can make CJ stuck in skydiving animation in the water. However this can be fixed by spawning a hovercraft and entering it.
- After the parachute is deployed, CJ might still be falling at great speed, getting him wasted in the end.
- When CJ landed to the ground, the animation depicting CJ falling at great height will occur, and the parachute will 'sink' into the ground where he is standing.
- In the original PS2 version while doing the Chiliad Challenge, CJ can jump off the mountain and deploy his parachute. The game will put CJ back on his bike but with the parachute stuck on him.
- The parachute model in the PC version is unable to display correct animations while the player is controlling it. For example, CJ, when no buttons are pressed, holds onto the parachute. In the PS2 and XBOX versions, the bit which you hold on goes down once you slow your rate of descent. But in the PC version, the bit where you hold on doesn't move.
- In San Andreas, it is possible to become stuck in the skydiving animation by flying into the water after hitting a fence with a motorbike. The player can spawn a hovercraft and press the 'enter' button to resume normal gameplay.
- Another glitch is that whenever you are free falling and you open your parachute, CJ will look like he deployed it, but will still fall at great speed and die upon hitting the ground. After he respawns at a medical center, CJ will die again.
- In the PS2 version, if you press and hold the R3 button to look back while CJ lands on the ground with the parachute deployed, his head may appear stuck and deformed, with his head tilted back and twitching. This can be fixed by entering a vehicle.
- In GTA San Andreas collision-proof vehicles are immune to melee attacks. However, you can destroy collision-proof vehicle with fists when CJ has parachute on his back.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
Parachutes are reintroduced in The Ballad of Gay Tony with a vastly improved design, flapping realistically with the wind when deployed. Parachutes are first used in the mission High Dive and then adopted for a number of missions in the game, and serves as an integral component for the game's interpretation of base jumps, which are available in single player mode as well as the multiplayer "Free Mode" (using the parachute in Team Deathmatch could allow for an entire team to paradrop into a combat zone). Base jumping in the game involves the player jumping off a number of skyscrapers in Liberty City onto moving trucks. After completing all of the jumps in single player, the parachute will appear in the player's safehouse.
The Parachute can also be spawned via cheat code, by dialing the number: 359-555-7272 (The Parachute can be found in the players inventory). The parachute in the game also featured a glitch which could be exploited to allow the player to ascend instead of descend, remaining in the air for an indefinite amount of time. This has been patched.
Grand Theft Auto VThe Parachute is set to reappear in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V. It first appeared in a screenshot released on August 22nd 2012, showing a person using a parachute near a mountain.
- A second blue rectangular parachute backpack design exists in GTA San Andreas, although the player has no direct access to it; the parachute itself is otherwise similar. The backpack can be seen in at least two occasions in the game, one during the Flying School's video demonstration of the "Parachute Onto Target" trial, and another during "A Home in the Hills" where the backpacks are carried by the Triads to base jump into Madd Dogg's Crib.
- The back of GTA San Andreas' yellow-and-red parachute features a Rockstar North logo, while a ProLaps logo is present on the Ballad of Gay Tony rendition.
- In TBoGT, if the parachute is activated when jumping off of a low structure (approximately three stories), the parachute will open and save the player from being wasted from the fall but the parachute will remain for the player to use for another time.
- In TBoGT, it is possible to use 2 parachutes at once. This can be done by putting on your existing one then grabbing another. If you land properly, you can then wear the second one you previously picked up after putting on your first. This is useful if you end up landing on a building with no safe way off.
- In GTA SA, landing off with a parachute will enable CJ to 'swim' on the ground for more than a second.
- In GTA SA, you may receive a parachute after exiting an airborne plane and entering freefall mode.
- If the parachute is already launched a bit near until to the ground, you will die due to the fall speed.
- In the Ballad of Gay Tony, there is a glitch which allows the player to fly up instead of down.
- In the Ballad of Gay Tony, the parachute design and look might make a return to GTA V has seen in the first screen shot of one of the protagonist parachuting off a mountain.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- Seconds count when responding to a 911 call and one local emergency worker has a whole new perspective after it took an ambulance 19 minutes to get to her father after he had a stroke.
Jo Wolf is a critical care paramedic.
"You have a window with a stroke patient of three hours," Wolf said.
Last week, Wolf's father suffered a stroke. She began counting the minutes from when her father's neighbor dialed 911. It took Gold Cross EMS 19 minutes to arrive at her father's house.
"This is completely unacceptable," she said.
Vince Brogdon says he simply didn't have any available ambulances or even firetrucks nearby that day. He runs Gold Cross EMS, which is the private ambulance company contracted with Columbia County.
"Dispatch picked the closest appropriate ambulance, which was in the Appling area, to respond," Brogdon said.
He says says the situation was a highly unusual and doesn't happen often.
Wolf says otherwise.
"We don't have enough ambulances in the county," Wolf said.
Currently, Gold Cross runs five ambulances that serve 124,000 residents in Columbia County. That's more than a 35 percent population increase in just the last 10 years.
"How much longer will that hold in the future? I don't know," said Pam Tucker with Columbia County Emergency Management.
Tucker says the good news is that Gold Cross plans to add a part-time day ambulance to the fleet in October. She says another one on the road will help to at least temporally alleviate any problems.
Tucker says it costs taxpayers half a million dollars a year for the five ambulances with Gold Cross EMS. It would cost an additional $350,000 to add a sixth full-time ambulance.

There are no candidates on the statewide ballot, but there are five bond questions that voters will weigh in on, and some hotly-contested local issues.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Maine's top election official says voter turnout next week will likely be on the low side, as expected in an election with no candidates on the statewide ballot.
Instead, state voters will have their say on five bonds. The borrowing projects totaling about $150 million would fund maintenance and improvements for the state's roads and bridges, school facilities and armories.
There are also several hotly contested local ballots. In Portland, residents will consider a proposal to legalize marijuana for recreational use. And voters in South Portland will consider a waterfront protection ordinance that is aimed at preventing so-called tar sands from Canada from flowing through an underground pipeline.
Secretary of State Matt Dunlap is encouraging people to get out and vote, saying there's no such thing as a ``little election.''

Wolf ParadeView In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The indie rock combo Wolf Parade formed in 2003 in Montreal, where the band's first show saw them opening for Arcade Fire. From there, bandmates Dan Boeckner, Spencer Krug, Hadji Bakara, and Arlen Thompson recorded and self-released a four-song EP, followed by a six-song recording in 2004. They eventually gained the attention of songwriter Isaac Brock, who doubled as the frontman of Modest Mouse and an A&R rep for Sub Pop Records. Brock helped the band secure a deal with Sub Pop while serving as a stylistic touchstone for Wolf Parade's emerging sound, which merged indie rock with post-punk. In July 2005, the quartet issued a self-titled EP on the label by way of introduction; the band's debut full-length, Apologies to the Queen Mary, followed in September. It was one of the fall's most anticipated releases, recorded with Brock's help and released amid a critical flurry for such Canadian bands as Broken Social Scene, the Most Serene Republic, and Stars. After considering the title Kissing the Beehive for their follow-up (ultimately dismissed for fear of copyright infringement due to a Jonathan Carroll book by the same name), Wolf Parade issued their sophomore record, At Mount Zoomer, in June 2008. Emphasizing the distinct songwriting personalities of frontmen Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner, the album received warm reviews and just narrowly missed the Top 40. By the end of the following year, Wolf Parade had already begun working on a third record, and Expo 86 appeared in mid-2010. ~ Johnny Loftus

Four people have been charged in a drive-by shooting that killed a Nash County mother late last week. Deputies say one of those was the nephew of the victim.
Deputies this morning arrested the four with the help of North Carolina Probation and Parole officers.
Killed in the shooting on Old Middlesex Road Thursday night was Portia Hinnant.
Deputies have charged Charles Hinnant, Jr., Dominique Brown, Anna Perry, Adrian Joyner, all of Bailey with first degree murder, felony conspiracy to commit first degree murder, and discharging a weapon into occupied property inflicting serious bodily injury.
The motive is believed to have been a dispute between Charles Hinnant and the victim's son, Burnice. Deputies say the victim was Charles Hinnant's aunt.
Burnice Hinnant was arrested last year for the murder of Jayquan Taybron of Middlesex.
All four are in jail without bond and have a first court appearance Tuesday.
Previous Story

[Adobe] [DIGITAL PUBLISHING PLATFORM] Hey there. Colin Fleming here. I've got a new little trick for you in Viewer Builder. This is something I picked up just in the last couple of days. It appears to be undocumented, but it's a really cool little trick. If you're working in Viewer Builder and you get to the point of loading icons and splash screens, the way I've always been doing this is clicking the little folder icon, which gets me a loading command, and then I go and find my content and I simply drag and drop. That picks the first image that I want to load in here. And then I would repeat this process, clicking each of these folder icons one at a time to load all the icons, the splash screens, and the optional artwork and then switch over to the HD version and do exactly the same thing. Here is the new little trick. Very subtle, but once you know it, it's really cool. I've got a folder that holds all of my icons and all of my splash screens and optional artwork. I simply select all of that content and drag and drop it into the Viewer Builder. What you can see here in the Viewer Builder is the standard definition screens have been loaded. That's what the green square tells me. The HD assets have not been loaded. That's why I got the yellow square. So if I don't do anything about this, my iPad 3 version of the app would use the lower res icons and splash screens. To load the HD versions, I simply switch over to the HD assets and then drag and drop the same set of files. The Viewer Builder loads every file into the correct slot for me. Everything is green, and now I can move on. I'm building an enterprise application, so if I were to go through the navigation and the sharing screens, I could then get to the Provisioning files area, and this same drag and drop tip works for the distribution and developer mobile provision files. Simply drag and drop and they're filed in the right slot. So if you're working with Viewer Builder a good bit, this little trick is going to make your life a whole lot easier, and you're going to work in Viewer Builder more efficiently. So I hope that helps you, and I hope you enjoy it. Have fun. Ciao. [Adobe.com/digitalpublishing]
