Okay! Twenty-one people interested are in this book. I went on to random.org today and had it select a number between 1 and 21. The number it selected was 15. I brought up the list of people who faved this journal and...
SkylerFarrier won the drawing! Congrats Skylerfarrier. And sorry to everyone else. But now that you know about The Pride of Chanur, you can go look for it at your local library or used bookstore. You should!
I suddenly realized that today is the sixth anniversary of my joining this site. Wowee. I've come pretty far on here... thanks in no small part to the community and friends I've made while here. I learned what I'm good at creatively and developed those talents, and I'm sure over the years to come, I'll push my boundaries further with help from you all. So to commemorate this event, I'm going to hold a little raffle I've been meaning to do for a while.
You see, I love old, used books. The wonderful musty smell of old paper; that special crinkling sound the pages make when you turn them; the wonder of who has held the pages before me, enjoyed it as much as I have; the spine you don't have to feel guilty about breaking because someone has done it for you. So long as it's in good condition, I'll choose a used book over a brand-now copy any day.
So! I'm looking for people who share that love with me, and someone who I want to share one of my favorite books ever with. I went down to the used book store and picked up another copy of The Pride of Chanur by C.J. Cherryh, the first volume in a series of one of my favorite science fiction stories. There is only one human character in story, and he is not the usual window into the world--he's seen through the eyes of the protagonist species, the hani. If you like aliens that are actually alien, stories that postulate on and explore how these alien cultures might be like, with all the drama of interplanetary chases and political intrigue, this is a story you'll love. And after you read it, you'll understand why Cherryh is one of my favorite authors. She wields prose with a unique, masterful flair that's practically poetic.
I am going to mail this copy out to one lucky person who faves this journal. That's all you have to do, fave this journal, and in a week I'll randomly select one of you and mail it out to you. I hope you'll enjoy this book as much as I have!

That is a good book. The whole series is good. I have not read these is quite some time. Might have to go digging in the basement now.
Happy Anniversary.
Happy Anniversary.
Heheh, oh wow, count me in! That is awesome.... I've never heard of that book before, but it certainly sounds intriguing! I love stories that take unique viewpoints like that. Non-human to boot coooooooool.... X-)
Then you'll definitely love this series. And hey, even if you don't win the raffle, you should pick it up!
Happy Anniversary, fellow 6th year! What a neat sounding book! I'm going to save the title, and check out my library for it. C.J. Cherryh is pretty well known, so they'll probably have it.
Ooh I hope you find it! And if you read it, please let me know what you think--I would love to have more people to talk about it with.
Happy 6 years!
And this sounds like a fun raffle

And I do so love books.
And I do so love books.
I "turned six" this year as well.
And I already have a few of Cherryh's books: The Tree of Swords and Jewels, Visible Light, Cuckoo's Egg, Downbelow Station and Merchanter's Luck. I never got into the Chanur series, for whatever reason; might be time to take a crack at it.

I enjoyed Downbelow. Chanur is set in the same universe as that one. Have you read Rider at the Gates? That's the first one of hers I've read.
I haven't. In the 80s and 90s (pre-internet, and the height of my collecting) I was reluctant to get involved in a new book series if I couldn't be sure I was reading it in chronological (or at least publication) order. And Cherryh in particular had stories all over the map, kind of like Larry Niven and Alan Dean Foster.
I like your enthusiasm!
I don't know you but, happy sixth year anniversary! ^^

Mais uma vez anunciam a morte da sala de aula. Temo que ela permaneça viva - e por muito tempo - pois continuamos a formar professores que a alimentam. Se as licenciaturas mudarem, haverá uma chance de mudarmos a escola, ainda que ela tenha sala de aulas. Se as licenciaturas permanecerem no passado, não haverá um outro futuro para a escola.

ICTE Solutions Australia's curator insight, December 28, 2015 11:43 PM
In an ICT integrated society, it is important that people are information literate. That means being able to search for and analyse information for their benefits. As websites on the Internet become more popular teachers need to teach their students the right skills and knowledge so that their students are able to become information literate. Any guide therefore, that will assist teachers in doing so is worth using as a resource as reference for both teachers and students to use.

The Undertaker Reportedly Asks to Work with Top WWE Star, Update on Mysterio, Cena-Wyatt
by Amish Patel - January 03, 2014
– The Wrestling Observer Newsletter still reports that Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena is planned for WrestleMania XXX. We noted earlier in the week, via PWInsider, that the match was something discussed before WWE decided to unify the titles and before they made Randy Orton champion with the idea Bray could win the Royal Rumble and go on to challenge Cena.
– Rey Mysterio's leg is said to be getting stronger and he's trying to work his way back into normal ring shape.
– It's said that The Undertaker asked to work with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX. No word yet if it was discussed internally or anything.

Sunday, 12 January 2014 | MYT 11:30 PM
PARIS (Reuters) - The "Friends of Syria", an alliance of mainly Western and Gulf Arab countries who oppose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, urged opposition groups on Sunday to attend this month's peace talks, saying there was no alternative for a political solution.
"There is no other political solution," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on behalf of the group. "There will be no political solution for Syria unless 'Geneva 2' meets."
An internationally sponsored meeting bringing Assad's government and opposition groups to the table is due to be held from January 22 in Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
In a final statement, the 11 core Friends of Syria nations urged the Syrian National Coalition to attend the talks. The grouping of Western-backed rebels is deeply divided on whether to go and will announce a decision on January 17.
"We urge the National Coalition to respond positively to the invitation to set up the Syrian opposition delegation sent by the U.N. Secretary General," the Friends said in a joint communiqué.
"We invite them to form, as soon as possible, a delegation of opposition forces to participate in the political process."
Coalition President Ahmed al-Jarba, who attended the Paris meeting, did not say whether he believed the Coalition would send a delegation, but said he was reassured that the 11 nations had agreed that there could be no transition if Assad remained in power.
"We are all in agreement to say that Assad has no future in Syria," he said.

L.A.M.P - Counting My Blessings
Earlier today, I advised Nipsey Hussle fans frustrated with the delays plaguing the West Coast rhymesayer's forthcoming mixtape to count their Blessings. Great minds clearly think alike, as the latest single from L.A.M.P. finds the European alt-R&B duo doing just that. On Count My Blessings, vocalist Ladybird outlines her grateful, positive-minded approach to life in breezy verses, backed by production partner Andy Compton's relaxed guitar riffs. Marcus Way provides visuals to match the record's mellow vibe. Fans can find this cut, Booth debut Springtime and much more on the duo's Shades of Green EP, released in late June and available now for purchase via Bandcamp.

We're a few days out from Quantum Break, and whether you're looking forward to the time-bending shooter or not, this tour of Remedy Entertainment is worth watching. It's pretty darn funny!

I had my suspicions that Shawn Ashmore smells nice, and this video totally confirms it.

Xbox One Backward Compatibility is chugging along, and it gets a couple of great titles this week. According to a tweet from Xbox's Major Nelson, Alan Wake, Pac-Man, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are now available on Xbox One. I can't speak much for Alan Wake, but hugmonster Brett Makedonski lists it as one of his favorite games of all time. It's just a shame it's overshadowed by Symphony of the Night, one of my favorite games of all time.

Infiltrating Dracula's castle, taking down vampire hunter Richter Belmont, turning into a bat/wolf/cloud of mist, thinking the journey is over when it's actually only half done, all of this is now possible on the Xbox One. I've lost count of the number of times I've played through this masterpiece, but it seems like every time it comes up in the news it makes me want to do it all over again. If you're like me in that way and you've got an Xbox One, now you can.

Remedy Entertainment hasn't put the Alan Wake series to bed yet. The studio has said in the past that it "assumed from the get-go that there was going to be a sequel." Ever since Quantum Break went gold last month, Remedy has hinted at Alan Wake being its next project -- except the hinting is about as subtle as pointing a giant neon-lit arrow at the idea.

The evidence ranges from Quantum Break easter eggs to a newly-filed trademark for the name "Alan Wake's Return." That trademark has been on a lot of people's minds, as it seems like the most likely nod to a relatively-imminent new Alan Wake reveal. Except it's not, apparently.

Kotaku UK spoke with Remedy head Sam Lake about the trademark, and Lake confirmed that it's the name of an in-game video series. According to the report, Alan Wake's Return is a series of live-action mini episodes that star Lake. Alan Wake also had in-game entertainment in the form of short TV shows, so it makes sense that a sequel would too.

As for any pertinent information confirming the next Alan Wake? Well, Lake deflected. "We are exploring possibilities and concepting different things, but lots needs to click into place for anything to happen. We will be the first to talk about it when there is something definite to talk about," he said.

Remedy (Max Payne) is finally getting Quantum Break out the door in April and it looks a lot different from when I first saw it in 2013 (and just look at 2012's prototype footage). Since then it's gotten the Hollywood treatment as well as picked up a couple The Wire alum.

But you can read all about Quantum Break elsewhere. We're here to talk A. Wake (and S. Lake). This holiday greeting features clips from the in-game, live-action commercial for Return, a fake show starring Remedy head (and Max Payne face) Sam Lake as an FBI agent. You can watch the commercial air on a television in Quantum Break.

Return? Last week, Remedy filed a trademark for "Alan Wake's Return."

Additionally, there's this chalkboard from a university lesson that appears to be a deep, critical analysis of Alan Wake. It also refers to Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and refers to "Return" not as a specific title, but as the third and final part of the journey. Specifically, next to "Return," it reads, "the second manuscript." Of course, Remedy has also straight up said for a while now it plans to make more Alan Wake. With work on Quantum Break wrapping up (it seems final on Xbox One, while the PC version is still being worked on for simultaneous launch on Windows 10), it makes sense that a return to Alan Wake is next.

 tag:http://www.destructoid.com/,2016:/post.phtml?pk=344578Brett Makedonskihttp://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Brett+MakedonskiRemedy has trademarked Alan Wake's Return2016-02-25T15:30:00Z2016-02-25T15:30:00Z
Remedy Entertainment has its hands full in the coming months, what with Quantum Break releasing in early April and all. That hasn't stopped the studio from looking ever so slightly ahead, though. And, it's in a direction that should please many of the developer's fans.

Earlier this week, Remedy filed a trademark within the European Union for "Alan Wake's Return." That phrase could be the title of a new game, an expression to use in marketing materials, the name of some other form of planned media, or it could turn out to be nothing at all. Whatever it is, Remedy thought it'd be wise to officially lock it down.

Remedy hasn't been shy in the past about saying more Alan Wake was likely to happen. The last we saw of the embattled writer, he was playing a twisted version of Groundhog Day in Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Any sort of return would have a high standard to live up to, as Alan Wake was one of the best games on the Xbox 360. Hopefully Remedy has an ocean of ideas, not just a lake.

Remember Freddy Got Fingered? Damn, that movie was great. "Daddy, would you like some sausage? Daddy, would you like some sausa-ges?" I sing that every time my roommate's cooking breakfast food. Classic.

This film is a goddamn American institution. Or, it should be. Children in school should watch a different scene every morning immediately after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It should play on the jumbotron at every Major League Baseball game. "Look at me, daddy! I'm a farmer!"

Also, there are four old games you can now play on your Xbox One if you want: Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Lego Batman, Trials HD, and Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space. That Xbox One can play DVDs too, so...you know.

It's no secret that Remedy's magnum opus, Alan Wake, left an ocean sized hole in my heart. Now, nearly five years after disappearing into the Dark Place, Sam Lake has teased Alan's whereabouts with the following tweet.

Something's washed ashore. We're shooting material for an Easter egg for you to find in #QuantumBreak. #AlanWake pic.twitter.com/lh7708s8dk
— Sam Lake (@SamLakeRMD) December 3, 2015

It's great to see Alan again (even as a possibly washed up corpse), but what's even more exciting is the implication that these two series exist within the same shared universe. Max Payne already kinda-sorta exists in Alan's world, and if you roped him into Quantum Break it would finally explain all of his bullet-time shenanigans (too bad Rockstar owns him now). Only time will tell if this is just a simple nod to the fandom, or if there will be a deeper connection between Remedy's previous games than that.

Silent Hills was a dream game. Specifically, it was my dream game. If you asked me before P.T. crept onto the PSN servers what series I'd most like to see rejuvenated in a bold new way, I would have probably told you Silent Hill. If you asked me which creatives I would have liked to see attached to it, there is a very real possibility I would have picked out Kojima or Del Toro (Norman Reedus was a mulligan, but one I could live with). The fact that Silent Hill was slated to be properly resurrected by BOTH of these creative giants is nothing less than a miracle.

And then Konami killed it. Because we can't have nice things.

I like to think that somewhere, on some better plane of existence (call it Heaven, or Nirvana, or an alternate dimension where things go right instead of wrong), Silent Hills as envisioned my Kojima and Del Toro exists. That whatever internal bickering or re-prioritization that went on with Konami didn't happen. That the pair got the support they needed to bring their version of Silent Hill to life and it was as disturbing and exhilarating as P.T. made us believe it could be.

I like to think about all the other games that should exist. Games that never happened due to legal rights, or a lack of interest, or were just too flat out ridiculous to have ever really happened -- but I still feel in the very depths of my heart they should have happened. My dream games.

And now that I've thought about them I can't get them out of my head. In that better land where Silent Hills still lives, maybe so do some other games that were just too beautiful for our world.

So here is the imaginary history of games that should have existed but don't, except in my fevered mind.

Further to yesterday's revelations that a sequel for Alan Wake was still very much on the cards, Polygon has managed to squeeze even more information out of Remedy's chief creative officer, Sam Lake, including confirmation that the studio is in talks with Microsoft to bring Wake's mysterious story to the Xbox One.

"I would love that to happen," said Lake, who is also Remedy's head writer. "Nothing has happened yet, but we are discussing this possibility with Microsoft. I hope it happens, we'll see."

And while it's "highly unlikely" that we will see the original game ported to anything other than Microsoft's Xbox One, Lake intimated that there was the "possibility" that the sequel "could go to a platform that didn't have the original game."

"When it comes to sequels it's our thing, we can do whatever makes sense and what's best for the franchise overall," Lake added. "I think that regardless of the platform, a good sequel — while it continues the story of the original one — it's still something that someone who hasn't played the original one can enjoy and jump on board and dive into the setting and the world and enjoy themselves."

Looks like we might be returning to Bright Falls sooner than feared.

I loved Alan Wake.

Maybe it's because I overdosed on Stephen King as a kid and have always had a particular penchant for that whole fiction-becomes-fact thing (if only to keep alive the dream that one day, McDreamy is gonna step out of my TV and into my arms), but Remedy's novel approach to storytelling -- whilst not flawless by any means -- was nonetheless one of my favourite gaming experiences of 2010.

It sold modestly well -- 4.5 million, give or take -- and fostered a passionate fan following. Unfortunately, despite having specifically carved a story meant be shared across several titles, Alan has yet to make his comeback.

In a detailed interview with Polygon, Remedy's creative director and head writer Sam Lake acknowledged that from the "get-go", the assumption was that Alan Wake would indeed return.

"Near the end of Alan Wake, we were sitting down and talking about the sequel and where we should be taking it, on a detailed level," said Lake. "More or less straight from getting Alan Wake shipped, we were working on a sequel and planning on a sequel."

"In many ways, we see the universe as a bigger thing. Alan Wake is a very central character, but we have other characters around him like [friend and agent Barry Wheeler] and his wife Alice and Sheriff Sarah Breaker and other characters there. We feel this is a big universe to develop and explore in many ways."

The team didn't merely plan it's next steps, however. The studio got as far as crafting a full prototype for the sequel, a "mood piece" demonstrating "the high-level thematic elements of what's there."

Last year, however, Lake admitted that the time wasn't right for the sequel, and whatever plans had been in motion had now been abandoned. Already committed to Quantum Break, any attempts to press on with Wake "wouldn't have been the sequel that Alan Wake deserves to get."

So: does the public release of Alan Wake 2 prototype (available at Polygon) signal the death of sequel plans?

Well, no -- not necessarily.

"We are living in Quantum Break land and enjoying ourselves," Lake said. "But at the same time we are in a place where we are starting to look into the future and starting to have discussions about what is next."

"Among other things," he continued, "we are discussing the possibility of an Alan Wake sequel with multiple partners, but nothing has been decided."

"The thing that made this idea of releasing this prototype demo OK is that it is very much on a high level," Lake added. "There are no spoilers in it. That being said, I do hope we get an opportunity to work on Alan Wake 2. I want to do more Wake at some point."

He's not the only one.

According to Remedy CEO Matias Myllyrinne, who is "happy on behalf of the team," the Alan Wake franchise has sold more than 4.5 million units across Xbox 360 and PC to date.

I can't hear numbers like that and not call for a sequel. So here's me doing that.

Finish up work on Quantum Break, that time-manipulating game for Xbox One that's also a television show, and continue Wake's story. I'll rewatch In the Mouth of Madness while I wait.

At yesterday's Microsoft press conference, Remedy Studios unveiled its new game Quantum Break which looks to mean there won't be any more Alan Wake games coming any time soon. It seems fitting then that the two series titles are reduced in price on Xbox Live and are also featured in the Humble Weekly Bundle.

In a new video posted on the Humble Bundle page, Remedy creative director Sam Lake, confirmed that there isn't going to be an Alan Wake game any time soon. Lake says that after a slow launch, the original game has gone on to sell well but not enough to warrant a new installment. However, Sam still says there is still a desire to make a new Alan Wake at Remedy and in a nice little sequence at the end, Alan is put into storage to be released some time in the future.

On the PC side, a single dollar will nab you both Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare. There's a whole host of extra goodies, some of which are already in the Steam and GOG.com edtions of the games, but there's also some new never seen before material included as well. You're going to have to pay $5 and $4 respectively for the Xbox 360 versions.

After the Bayonetta 2 video, this one is much, much, much better.

Here is Mega64 at their finest -- harassing the crap out of people! I love how after a minute Derrick just fesses up to being a d*ck for kicks and giggles. The dry narration seals the deal.

This sort of serves as the boys' Halloween video, though I'm certain they'll have more goodies in the coming weeks. At least I should relax knowing that even if I can't find a decent costume this year, I can always pick up a flashlight and run through the streets, yelling at random passersby.

It may not be a holiday weekend but there's still plenty of great PC download deals to be had. Gamersgate has knocked 33% off the recently released PC version of Alan Wake (both the standard and collector's editions).

Meanwhile on Steam, there's two big deals. Firstly, Wargame: European Escalation has been reduced by 40% to coincide with its first DLC pack being released. Also on Steam, both Might & Magic Heroes VI and Might & Magic Clash of Heroes are reduced by 50%, with the latter also available to play for free this weekend.

If for some reason you didn't pick up the original Fallout for free last week, then you can at least save 50% on that game plus all of Interplay's catalog on GOG.com. There's some great titles on offer including Earthworm Jim, MDK and err ... Redneck Rampage. As always, if you've seen a cheap deal online post it in the comments and share the savings.

In this new promotional video for Alan Wake's American Nightmare, the villainous Mr. Scratch presents a slideshow of critic responses to the game, replying to them and adding his own commentary. Our very own Maurice Tan is even called out in the first slide, his comments driving Scratch to an almost uncharacteristically humble reaction.

I still have not made the time to finish the campaign in American Nightmare. It's one of those games where you can quite clearly see how the game's mechanics could be made considerably deeper and that kinda bummed me out a bit. It's still fun, though, and I'm probably going to try to make an effort this coming weekend to polish it off.

Not all at the same time, of course. That would be a little too badass, even for you.

It doesn't mean there's not plenty to be excited about, though! Today's Destructoid Show covers a lot of topics, including discussion on the various skill trees in Borderlands 2, new screens for Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, and Notch's latest "hard sci-fi," 0x10c.

Remedy's Alan Wake has topped two million sales on Xbox 360 and PC, becoming enough of a success to secure its future as a series.

"We've moved over two million copies -- that's including PC," Franchise development head Oskari Häkkinen told CVG. "So after a slow start it's turning into something really positive. It's definitely had legs. I think narrative experiences just have a tendency for that."

This is pretty great news. I loved Alan Wake, but worried the series would go nowhere beyond the first game's DLC. It also further makes Microsoft look stupid for claiming Alan Wake wouldn't work on PC, which is something I'll always celebrate.

While the rest of you were off rabblerousing this President's Day, I was perfectly content to stay home the whole weekend knowing that I had five boxes of Girl Scout cookies and a fresh download of Alan Wake's American Nightmare waiting for me.

Remedy's latest installment in the Alan Wake franchise hits Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 MS points today, but is it even worth that? More importantly, will you be able to appreciate it if you haven't played the first? The answers to these questions and more await you in the video above!

I spent some time with Alan Wake on my beastly [brag] PC rig (featuring dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 cards) last night, running this already pretty game on max settings. As you'd imagine, it looks sooo much better than the Xbox 360 original.

We already knew that Remedy knows their PC sh*t, but Alan Wake PC is a really pretty reminder. There's so much detail on every surface that I feel like I missed a lot my first time around. In fact, running at top settings, the cutscenes look crappy compared to the game graphics.

The game's lighting was already fantastic, but it really shines with all settings cranked. And in the dark, shadows are even more...shadowy. The enhanced light and darkness in the PC version somehow makes the game more scary, even if you've played through it before. Also scary, but in a different way: the high resolution product placement.

In our gallery below you'll see some comparison shots. Of course, the dull, blurry ones are the Xbox 360 screens. To really appreciate the PC version you'll need to see it in motion.

Oh PC gaming, that hotbed of piracy where developers can never make any money. That's where Remedy was able to make back all of its porting and marketing costs for Alan Wake within a 48-hour period. DAT PIRACY!

The game became a number one bestseller on Steam and has done very well for a game that snubbed the PC for two years. So much for Microsoft's assertion that the game wouldn't work on computers.

"We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing," revealed Remedy's Aki Järvilehto on the studio forums. "We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we're certainly very excited about PC."

Great to hear! Always loved Alan Wake, so I'm pleased to see it's having a second lease of life, especially with the XBLA spin-off in tow.

Ask any fan why they like Alan Wake, and you'll hear different stories. Some will talk about how they enjoyed the Stephen King, Twin Peaks, and Lost inspired storyline and setting. Others will laud the tense experience on the Hard and Nightmare difficulties, or the use of music. None of them will try to convince you that Alan Wake was by any means a perfect game but, more than anything, they will all tell you how much they want another title.

With Alan Wake's American Nightmare almost upon us, it's time for a mood-setting launch trailer. Fitting voice-over work, plenty of slow-mo dodges, and a pack of oversized spiders -- yeah, this is pretty good.

The game may not be the full sequel some of us still desperately crave, but I feel like Remedy has made the transition from full retail product to downloadable title a relatively smooth one. At least, it looks that way from the media I've seen.

I was hoping we could compete in a series of events "inspired by" (i.e., stolen from) American Gladiators to determine who got to review American Nightmare on Destructoid, but no such luck. Maurice snatched that sucker up instantly. It's not fair -- the dude never sleeps!

In this latest developer diary for Alan Wake's American Nightmare, the gang at Remedy describe the origins of Alan Wake's evil alter-ego, Mr. Scratch. Born out of the legend of Alan Wake's arrival and subsequent disappearance in Bright Falls, he's a straight-up boogeyman with a sense of humor I can appreciate.

Remedy also talks up the game's arcade mode, which I had a chance to check out at CES. With only one more week left until release, my excitement level has pretty much peaked now. Bring it.

Despite boxed copies of PC games being largely irrelevant to many of us for years now, someone is still buying these things. We know that Alan Wake will see a release on Steam sometime next month, and now Nordic Games has stepped in to help bring it to retail.

There's no word on a specific date for this one either, but it is set to include add-on content "The Signal" and "The Writer." Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors comments: "We are really looking forward to the PC version of Alan Wake, especially as we are talking about a fantastic PC adaptation thereof, rather than a mere porting of the code." We could use one of those.

 tag:http://www.destructoid.com/,2016:/post.phtml?pk=220173Conrad Zimmermanhttp://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Conrad+ZimmermanMS dates I Am Alive, Alan Wake, Warp++ and Nexuiz2012-01-23T17:15:00Z2012-01-23T17:15:00Z
Microsoft is about to launch the Xbox Live Arcade House Party event in just a few weeks. I guess they thought it might be helpful to actually tell people when the individual games will be releasing because we got this shiny press release from them containing that very information.

The titles will be dripping out, one per week, starting on February 15th with Warp++ (800 MSP), followed by Alan Wake's American Nightmare (1200 MSP) on the 22nd. Then it's the long awaited arrival of arena-based shooter, Nexuiz (800 MSP), on Leap Day and the event caps off with the even longer awaited arrival of Ubisoft's I Am Alive (1200 MSP) on March 6th.

It's a great lineup and I'm pretty sure I'll be snagging at least three of these. What about you?

Carson Shaddy and Keaton McKinney - Aggies Postgame
Arkansas center fielder/third baseman Carson Shaddy and ...
Arkansas center Travis Swanson (64) calls out a play during a Nov. 29, 2013 game against LSU at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas center Travis Swanson and defensive tackle Robert Thomas received invitations to the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday.
The combine will be held Feb. 18-25 in Indianapolis. Swanson and Thomas were seniors in 2013 for the Razorbacks.
Swanson started 50 consecutive games during his Arkansas career and was a finalist this season for the Rimington Trophy, which is given to college football's most outstanding center. Thomas played three seasons for Arkansas after transferring from junior college, but missed the final four games of his senior season after suffering a broken leg in a game against Alabama.
Thomas recorded 3.5 sacks and six tackles for loss as a senior. It's unclear how much he will be able to do at the combine after undergoing surgery to repair his leg injury in October.
Swanson is scheduled to participate in the Senior Bowl alongside Arkansas defensive end Chris Smith prior to the combine.

Who: Franz Ferdinand
Renee McMahon For all our festival coverage, visit Bumbershoot.SeattleWeekly.com.
Where: Samsung Mobile Mainstage
When: Monday, Sept. 7, 7:45 p.m.
Franz Ferdinand proved to be an excellent choice to feature as the second to last performance on the mainstage. The Glasgow natives charged through rock anthems about getting high, hooking up at bars, and feeling regretful the morning after with such ease that it's clear they've engaged in their fair share of debauched behavior. Frontman Alex Kapranos sauntered and sneered through brazen numbers like "Take Me Out" and "No You Girls," stopping only to heckle the crowd for not being wild enough. But when all four members dropped their respective instruments to pummel the drums together--a signature part of their live shows--fans finally let loose and began to move.

Could be just rumors, but I trust my source, as he's been around the block a time or 2 if you catch the metaphor.
I've been in need of a bunch of new material as well, as it seems a portion of my hacking information and tools may have become a tad out-dated.
It seems HackMew is dead now, as well as many mid-school hackers and tool devs, adding to the collection of exceptional hackers long disappeared from our quaint yet lovable little community.
I myself have been keeping out of the 4th/5th gen stuff since my PC's hardly strong enough to map-edit the Advance GEN games, so I dunno much about that.
I heard somewhere at one point in time too that the Pokedex for the GBA games finally got an upgrade, as someone apparently managed to fit more pokemon in the pokedex.
I guess this could count as a request as well, was wondering if someone could point me towards the most recent advances in GBA hacking, considering the search isn't well suited for that, as I don't know what to search for.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
TL;DR? Zel might be back, People are dead, I need help finding updated info, any help?
Well, the fact of that matter is, since the people are dead/gone, there haven't been many advances. =(
Oh, and Zel is definitely back. :3

this is stunning... i could stare at it for hours...
I do not see any fault whatsoever in this drawing. <3
I really like the way you dealt with the shadows of the face, I think they're very well executed. Only thing I'm bothered by is the fact that the hand itself is small compared to the face. I think the general rule is that a hand should be the size of the face that ranges from the chin to the brow bone. At least its worked out for me that way! Good Job!
good job
this is really cool and i love the concept
Profile is great, could it be the neck is a bit too small? Then again I just started drawing faces and thing...it isn't as pretty as yours, well done
is this with india ink?? this is beautiful !! i wish i was that good with ink. This is making me want to try harder now lol D:
I love the blending and subtle effects, these styles i love alot :'D

But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ... By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.Mother Teresa of Calcutta
The welfare state disempowered working class people people by taking away their ability to self-organise, by taking away their ability to work with each other. It atomised working class communities and also prevented innovation and aspiration for those at the bottom.Phillip Blond

Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.Winston Churchill

Young people don't know what age is, and old people forget what youth was.Proverb
The world has enough for everybody, but some minorities, the descendants of the same people that crucified Christ, and of those that expelled Bolvar from here and in their own way crucified him . . . have taken control of the riches of the world.Hugo Chavez
Repugnance at the power of the people, at the fact that the popular taste should rule in all arenas of life, is very rare in a modern democracy. One of the intellectual charms of Marxism is that it explains the injustice or philistinism of the people in such a way as to exculpate the people, who are said to be manipulated by corrupt elites.Allan David Bloom
If democracy is destroyed in Britain it will be not the communists, Trotskyists or subversives but this House which threw it away. The rights that are entrusted to us are not for us to give away. Even if I agree with everything that is proposed, I cannot hand away powers lent to me for five years by the people of Chesterfield. I just could not do it. It would be theft of public rights.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
Our social relationships are limited, most of the time, to gossip and criticizing people's behavior. This observation slowly pushed me to isolate from the so-called social life. My days pass by in solitude.Ingmar Bergman

BERNIE: I met with Wiesel once, just once, for a long discussion. And I thought we were going to talk exclusively about the fund, but he wanted to talk Talmud, or Midrash, or whatever it was, so I listened. He said we're both teachers, that's what he said. —p. 10
Imagining Madoff has only three characters: Bernie Madoff, Elie Wiesel, and Madoff's personal secretary ("42 or so, sincere, hard-working, pleasant-looking, dutiful, bloated with remorse"). The action triangulates between the witness stand, where the secretary answers unheard questions before the Securities and Exchange Commission; Madoff's prison cell, where he reconstructs his crimes without apology for an unseen biographer; and Wiesel's study, where the two men share a scotch-fueled all-nighter.
In the ill-fated letter to Wiesel, Margolin explained her inspiration for Imagining Madoff: "When I don't understand someone, I write them a monologue."
"I thought I should be able to look to my own humanity for what went wrong in Madoff," she says.
Margolin, who has never heard Wiesel speak, then conceived a more cohesive piece, in which Madoff and Wiesel serve as allegorical foils, with the secretary as the chorus, the audience's onstage representative: ashamed she never figured out what was going on, unwillingly complicit, endlessly regretful.
Playwrights who dramatize public figures often steep themselves in press clippings on their subjects. Margolin took a more liberated approach, confining her research to Judaic texts. The resulting characters exist apart from their real-world analogs, speak their own language, and stand at once as symbols and engaging men. Wiesel, especially, is more a signifier than a character—"an easily identifiable crystallization of that type of moral force," as Jenness puts it. A handy individual, in other words, for addressing the moral and theological questions of the play, and benevolent enough to evince a sympathetic side in his opposite, the Madoff figure.
"The play came to me sideways," Margolin says. "I dropped into the mind and body of Bernie Madoff and listened. I just sit by the keyboard and listen to someone speak. If you're going to be an actor or playwright, you have to go into the mind and body of someone, however different from you—and that is profoundly reclamatory and healing."
Wiesel disagreed.

My daughter is 13 months and waking in the middle of the night, crying for no apparent reason. At first I assumed her waking was associated with teething, but quite often I am just not sure if that is the case. She naps well during the day one 1.5h nap in the am and one 1.5h nap in the afternoon. Most days there is a struggle to get her into bad at night but she goes down btween 8-9:30. But then she wakes around 1:00 a.m sometimes 3:00am. crying, generally fussing, or screaming (very high piched scrams), depending on the night. She does not seem to be having night terrors; she is very comforted by my or my husband's presence, and seems to want us to hold her while she sleeps. Attempting to put her back in her crib after settling her down results in screaming and crying until we return to her room. We have tried to let her settle herself down, but her screams seems to escalate as the minutes tick by. She can easily cry of an hour or longer if allowed. In most cases, we need to hold her / rock her for more than an hour before she will even fall a sleep.This is getting quite tiresome, we are both working full time and running on just few H of sleep a day! Any advise anyone can offer would be most helpful!
Sleep problem. Help!

What's the deal with the Seattle Poet Populist contest? It's where you, the viewer/listener/reader, get to choose who you want to represent Seattle in the world of verse for the year to come. For those who can't make the readings but want to vote in a learned, discerning manner, our primer—in which each candidate is asked the same grueling set of questions—continues.
Candidate #2: Richard Gold, 59, founded the Pongo Teen Writing Project twelve years ago.
Who is your biggest celebrity crush?
That waterskiing squirrel
(full interview after the jump)
Name, age, affiliation?
Richard Gold, 59. Founded the Pongo Teen Writing Project twelve years ago. I've developed techniques for working with kids who have trouble expressing themselves.
Who is your favorite poet?
I usually don't think in terms of poets, I read anthologies... But there are a couple that come to mind by a man by Michael Blumenthal, The Man Who Needed No One…. He needed all along.
Campaign slogan?
The hearts of our city.
Your campaign's theme song?
Something by Philip Glass.
Can you share an anecdote about poetry touching you or someone else?
When you deal with the kids who are in real emotional pain, their question is, why does life have pain in it? What is the meaning of life? To me, that shows that there is something very profound to be learned from these suffering and isolating individuals. What I feel like I've learned is that our society doesn't make enough opportunity for people to process feelings? These kids are only indicative of a general problem that most of us have that we struggle to understand and integrate how we really feel, and the losses that we really experience. And without that, all kind of bad things happen… self-destructive behaviors. That kind of difficulty leads us to have trouble in our relationships, or to be workaholics. It's a problem.
What movie character do you most identify with?
The entire cast of "The Big Lebowski"
A notable oddball talent?
My hobby is taking pictures of sunsets and taking them to emails to my friends.
If you couldn't write anymore, how would you spend that time?
I'd have to learn how to draw or sculpt, or dream.
How long have you been writing?
Seriously, since college--so for about 40 years.
What poem has made you feel most uncomfortable? Has made you cry?
None of them. All of them.
Have you ever used poetry to win someone over or get them in the sack?
No, but I baited a mousetrap with my poetry once.
What's the most irritating aspect of the poetry scene?
The communal living.
What was the last good book you read?
Men of Our Time, by Fred Moramarco and Al Zolynas.
Can you share a few lines from a poem you've written that you'd consider one of your best?
From a poem called, 'You Are":
Then someone touches you lightly
with the message that the pain
you feel is not your fault.
Who are you now?
Why do you think you should win?
I want to represent the teams that I work with. Pongo Publishing is a spokesperson for democracy as well as art. These kids have written some poignant, relevant poetry. I'd love to use this as a form to share the kids' poetry, share the important themes in their lives. There's a theme of very tortured childhoods, and another of the healing power of poetry. They're not only writing about this pain, they're thrilled to be expressing themselves. What I'd like to share is, this is what the kids say to all of us.
If elected Poet Populist, what would be your first order of business?
To call a girl who rejected me in high school.

This issue was also looked at with the previous owners 13 years ago. Was trying to sell the place but ...

You know who you are, you were the one or two people throwing things at the group of UGA fans that were gracious enough to let me be their guest. You are an embarrassment to what LSU football and the fans are and need to jump off a f*&king bridge. Show some freaking class when you go to another te...View Topic - Replies (5)

Just heard on the radio today that UGA is going into the board room to draw up plans for a new indoor track facility, new baseball field, and to add more seats and boxes to bring Sanford stadium to just over 100k seats. They want to add about 10k seats but not close in the stadium on the south side...

Chipmunks Playland & Cafe Tauranga
$10 for Entry for 2 Kids to Chipmunks Playland & Cafe Tauranga (value $21.80)

- Treat the kids to a whole lot of fun and shenanigans.
- Grab entry for two kids for $10 to Chipmunks Playland and Cafe Tauranga.
- Let them go wild on the huge range of fun play equipment.
- Jump in and get five for yourself and five as gifts. Fun - times ten!
- Playtime and relaxing time combined. The kids slide, climb, ride and jump - you get to smile and enjoy all the Cafe has to offer.
Kids are unpredictably active. One minute they're exhausted, the next they're up and racing around outside again. You put in a good showing first time up but when they want to go again so soon, you've got to dig deep. But you can't say no, can you? So off you go again. On some level they take gleeful delight in seeing Mum, Dad, Auntie or Uncle dropping off the pace.
Pay $10 for two kids to have truckloads of fun at Chipmunk's superior playland and playground, which offers the latest, safest and best play equipment available. You can buy five coupons for yourself and five as gifts, so with a little organising their friends can join in and get hyped and excited too.
Smile on from the comfort of the fully stocked Cafe with a nice coffee to relax with. Everyone's happy. The kid's are having a fantastic time climbing, sliding and enjoying the rides. You're right there with them but also having a little time out.
Kids aged 12 and under can play and there are baby and toddler areas too. Get along any day of the week and on public holidays. For safety the kids need to wear socks and then they're set to go. Chipmunks have been providing all the fun since 1997 with the aim of continuing to provide much much more.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Deliver the most professional, easy, and pleasant purchase experience anywhere.
In 1946, when after four years flying for the U.S. Air Force, Jerry Boyle, then 24 years old, opened a run-down corner gas station in Englewood, NJ. "Captain" Jerry Boyle, quickly realized that "one of the most important reasons for dealing both wholesale and retail is that the customer benefits from our vast variety of inventory at the lowest prices." Word spread quickly, and by 1958 Englewood Tire Distributors (ETD) was one of the top volume wholesale/retailers in the Northeast.
The Tradition Continues
The tradition of offering the real value on quality tires continues today with locations in Englewood, Hillsdale, Butler, Denville, Lyndhurst, Clifton, and now in Wayne. Never forgetting our beginnings as your neighborhood Tire Center, our clean, new facilities are designed and constructed to enhance your community's image.
Recognizing that price alone does not ensure value, ETD Discount Tire Centers use state-of-the-art equipment for mounting, balancing, and wheel alignment service. All store personnel are certified tire specialists, and will advise you on the best tire for your driving needs, while offering professional maintenance advice for your new tires.
Yes, We Have It!
The ETD Discount Tire Centers warehouse and corporate office, located in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, provides express delivery to our Discount Tire Centers for just about any tire that you need. The warehouse and retail outlet centers have a combined inventory of over 100,000 tires in every major brand. Just about any tires our customer needs can be delivered to one of our retail stores within hours. Selection, yes we have it!
We Do More Than Just Tires
Whether you need an oil change, wheel alignment, or other common vehicle maintenance, our ASE certified technicians will do the job right the first time. Convenient appointments are available.
We Make It Easy!
Think about the last time that you purchased new tires. Did they ask you for the size of your tires, and then seem annoyed or pompous when they had to look up the size for you? Did they carry on about speed ratings, load ratings, and blah, blah, blah until you wanted to scream? Our philosophy is simple: it's our job to know what fits your vehicle and your driving needs. Our tire specialists are friendly, helpful, and professional. If you really want to know just how much we know about tires, ask. If not, we'll just keep it simple, easy, and quick. If you would like to learn more about tires, select "Tips" from our navigation bar.
The Right Attitude!
It's our people that really make the difference and it all begins with a genuine desire to help you, our customers. Every person in the ETD Discount Tire Center family pledges and execute this customer service pledge:
"Deliver the most professional, easy, and pleasant purchase experience anywhere."
Why Choose ETD Discount Tire Centers?
Value: Right Price Guarantee on name brand tires!
Selection: Over 100,000 tires in stock-everyday!
Professional Service: Our mission is to make buying new tires easy, and pleasant—period!
Satisfaction Guarantee: 30-day test drive on all new tires!
