2005 TGS BEST OF SHOWPosted: Sep 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by KILLZONE_2000
Metal Gear Solid 4 Runners Up: Loco Roco (PSP) Rogue Galaxy (PS2) Yes, everyone in the media made a solemn promise after E3 2000 never again to give a trailer "Best of Show." We couldn't help it then, with the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo looking so amazing -- and sad to say, we're just as helpless now in the face of its PlayStation 3 sequel. Even if creator Hideo Kojima hadn't taken the time to prove that those spectacular visuals are the real thing (a nagging issue that tainted the otherwise impressive PS3 demos shown at this year's E3), we'd still have been blown away by the sense of realism, the cheekily self-aware humor and the epic scope of his next-gen effort. Snake may be looking old these days, but Metal Gear Solid is -- once again -- the new hotness. That makes it our favorite PS3 demo and game of the show. Meanwhile, quirky PSP action game Loco Roco won a best-in-show nod from several editors for its addictive take on a not-quite-new idea. And Level 5's Rogue Galaxy completed the Sony trifecta, impressing us with its True Fantasy Online aesthetic on PS2 hardware. METAL GEAR SOLID 4 REAL TIME DEMO BEST OF SHOW...

remember the original xbox have overheating issues!!!Posted: Jul 17, 2005 12:00AM PST by kappalo
remember the original xbox have overheating issues!!! i just wonder, microsoft plan to release so many xbox 360's initially, they better get their stuff straight because remember when the first xbox came out and a little over 6 months passed and 1/2 of the xbox units started to "overheat and crash"... mine happen to be one of them... im going with playstation 3 this time... i when out and bought and xbox even knowing that they were having these issues with overheating and stuff ... (i bought it cuz they were giving a lot of free stuff with a package deal) and sure enough mine crashed after bout 2 years of occasional usage (not even hard core everyday gaming)... microsoft just not for me....
20 GB...? That's all they got?...Posted: Jul 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by cadilac_escalade
20 GB? That's all the 360 has to offer then I think i'll hold out another year untill the PS3 is released. After all once the 360 gets released sony will see it's strengths (If any) and imporve it's system even MORE! www.bvicious.piczo.com< check out my site for a laugh.

Too soon... too soon... too soon!!!!! That is all I have to say about this X-Box 360. If they even start making games that are only playable on the new X-Box I am going to give up new games all together and stick to the classics on my nes and snes.
coldcrushPosted: Apr 22, 2005 12:00AM PST by blitz34
I understand but I don't have to go buy the albums because if you got digital cable channel the charter kind 306 304 901 905 920 921 will play old school hip hop tracks but thanks anyway I don't think I'll be able to find the old school cds anyway I listen to people like Method and Redman B.I.G 2pac Nas The game without 50 cent his bullshit to me But seriously EA can't make soundtracks worth nothing they always get new people fresh off the street why can't they get rappers that have been out there a long time like T.I Ludacris or others like Ice Cube or take some of 2pacs song of B.I.G their soundtracks are the worst to me like I said before like NFSU1 and NFSU2 had really bad soundtracks believe or not the only song on NFSU1 I listen to was that mistykal song that's not a good thing why can't they even it out like Tony Hawk's Underground like 30 rap 30 rock 30 punk rock tracks or something like that. thats why I like to play the T.h.u.g games
another PS2 portPosted: Apr 22, 2005 12:00AM PST by StrongWolf
thats how it looks to me. It could look better than that on the Xbox if they would stop porting games from the PS2...it should be the other way around. EA still sucks. http://ea-haterz-club.1up.com
Things are looking up..... key word is LOOKING.....Posted: Apr 22, 2005 12:00AM PST by Saikoro
We all remember the glorydays of announcements for the GameCube and even the Dreamcast. Am I excited about the "Next Box??" Of course!! Those Madden screens sure are impressive, the graphical quality finally looks CG like, and I thought those were real for a second!! Its great to see Microsoft getting the attention that they deserve.... Im infuriated that the X-Box's release list is dwindling, the system has so much more potential its sickening. And what worries me is Microsoft's sudden shift into the next generation, we all remember what happened to the Dreamcast: Great announcements, a strong launch (Remember a little game called Soul Calibur?? STILL a killer app to this day!!) and plenty of support. Then the PS2 was announced and Sega lost plenty of ground. Fast. I do not want to see any system fail (I love the Cube but theres no respect for it), and I worry that Microsoft's new system (360 or whatever) will follow the way of the Dreamcast. Announcements and "plans" can only go so far.... Ill save my final opinion for when the system has been out for 3 months or so. I wish Microsoft luck, Sony's presence is too strong to ignore and the Playstation brand has alot of support. But thats just me.
re: blitz34Posted: Apr 21, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
Thanks for the props man. As for Lil' Jon, I pointed him out because he's the quintessential example of commercialized Hip-Pop. It's bland, generic, watered down no-game, production-gimmicked hogwash. His tracks are ok for clubs, but you can't take his music seriously. He has no flow, and he's not a real MC - just an MTV prop. You're 15 right? So I can't blame you for not knowing the good shit, you've been raised around a bad time in music where real MC's get no airtime because music companies don't think they'll make money off of it (like EA won't take a chance on good creative games). Compare his stuff to real hip hop. Really, do yourself a favor and buy some albums from Gangstarr (who were around when you born I think), Talib Kweli, Erik B and Rakim, EPMD, old school Nas (Illmatic), Masta Ace, Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, old school B.I.G......well, I could go on and on but you get the idea. Seriously though, don't let me have typed all that for nothing :) Go get some of those albums or tracks and check them out - you'll see the difference in skill and see what real hip hop is.
oh yeahPosted: Apr 21, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
and Jesus James Christ why the hell did some of you people assume that those Madden screen shots were from the game to debut in August??? What sort of logic do you people rely on??? I hope most of you are never allowed to drive. The people who went along with this Xbox 2/August theory are the same igmo's who signal left to turn right.
re: Why is everybody going against EAPosted: Apr 21, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
Actually juelz717 there are a lot of legit reasons why people hate on EA. Here are a few: 1. Lack of creativity. EA has maybe 2 or 3 somewhat original properties - EVERYTHING else is licensed, including Madden. And the only thing they revolutioned about football was done years and years ago when they first decided to serialize the series by season - so they could make more money. Even former EA employees say that creativity is squelched. Current employees admit the same fact. Which leads to my next point: 2. EA will do to the games industry what MTV and the record labels have done to Music - everything will be bland, licensed, and corporate flavored. Judging by your music tastes (except for Jean Grae and Eightball and MJG, perhaps the only decent act to come out of Memphis) you seem fine with that. By swallowing up developers, other publishers and tech, EA will have an influence on everything, making all their products generic enough to make money off of everyone like yourself who keeps buying 23 more Madden games to sit along side those shitty Lil' Jon records. And games like Ico don't get enough exposure and don't get made because EA will control everything and won't take a risk on a CREATIVE original game. It's the same reason why good albums from cats like People Under the Stairs or Platinum Pied Piper get no real exposure - they don't have a shitty R&B hook from whack ass Ashanti on the cut. 3. They treat their employees badly, esPECIALLY at their Tiburon studio where the Madden games are made. I won't go into depth, but if you're ok with how they're treated, then c'est la vie.
You're all stupidPosted: Apr 21, 2005 12:00AM PST by Omat5e1
I really don't get you dumb people. One person said "oh, so it's a next-gen game, yet it's supposed to come out in August, that can't happen..." Schmuck. The article never said it was Madden 2006. Even if it was, that doesn't mean that the Next-Gen version of the game is due out in August. Another person said that they'll never buy an EA game again because of their partnership with the NFL. In case you missed the footnotes on some (but not all, sadly) of the articles discussing the deal, the NFL was the one shopping around for a developer to give exclusive rights to. EA was fortunate enough to get in on the deal before someone else did. Yet another person said that these graphics aren't that impressive, and they're only slightly better than the current Xbox. I may be overly critical here, but whoever thinks that is an IDIOT. Assuming that these graphics are in-game, and not a CG video of what it could look like, or a cutscene or something, they are extremely impressive. Do you know how much processing power it requires to generate those kinds of images (including the weather, lighting, physical scratchs on the players, mud)? That's not even including the physics upgrade which all of us expect will accompany a Next-Gen game. God people, if gaming is a geeky hobby, at least TRY to be intelligent enough to be considered a geek.

Comments from my blog:Posted: Apr 20, 2005 12:00AM PST by mkp2k4
As much as I hate EA the corporation, you have to love the people who work on the games. I myself know one person at EA Canada, working on NBA Live 2005. He's a great, extremely talented guy, and just one example of the many wonderfully creative people with so many good ideas forced to make crap. The talent and dedication of these people is so apparent in this next-gen Madden game. Just take a look at the above. Now get out your drawing materials or open up your favorite imaging application and just try to make something that looks remotely as good. If you manage, let me know, and you deserve a prize. I don't have any, however, so you shall be content with bragging rights. Back to the game, the graphics look flat-out AMAZING. But, I'm not a fan of football, and remember:EA MUST DIE OR GET TAKEN OVER BY UBI.
Way to go Microsoft....But again X-box 360Posted: Apr 20, 2005 12:00AM PST by Great_Dragon
I'm glad that Microsoft is getting the backing from developers, I think they have proven they are staying in the console business. But I still don't think that X-box 360 is the wisest choice as far as the name is concerned. I really like the code name Xenon, why can't they just stick with that?
Hmmmmm Next Gen you say?Posted: Apr 20, 2005 12:00AM PST by UttiniDaKilrJawa
According to EB Games ...Madden 06 is supposed to ship in early August...and if this is indeed a next gen title that would mean that the next gen X-Box must be shipping somewhere around early August. EEEnteresting....very EEEEEntersting. :)
hold outPosted: Apr 20, 2005 12:00AM PST by 'alpha_omega'
If you can hold out on buying madden for as long as you can it will atleast show EA that we are not happy that they bought everything, and if your hardcore about then just don't buy it. But if your not and you want the game badly then just hold out for a week or 2 more than usual. We need to get a message to EA about our distaste and having their expected sales change could be the only way to get the popular oppinion accross to them.
Fanboys need help:)Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by gamewiz1
I'm not willing to bet who is going to win the next console wars. Reason? I haven't seen any of the systems, controllers, or anything like that. I'm seriously concerned with Microsoftâ??s choice in wireless controllers, if that is true. As I recall, the Wavebird has no force feedback, which hurts. As for Nintendo, I'm concerned that the next system will be so weird, that no one is going to buy it. I can't tell you how worried I am about a controller that looks like a touch pad. If I'm forced into playing with that, Iâ??m not playing. And for Sony, yup, as mentioned before, the only thing that concerns me is that itâ??s so hard to program games for it, that most of the good ones never come to fruition.
WHAT-ever...Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by littlebadwolf
Who cares? I'm never buying another John Madden game (or any other EA sports title) again. I'm so pissed at EA I'd rather buy Mario Football than Madden or NFL Street.
I for one will get this!Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by sdogg2005
It wont matter if you dont purchase the game they got a five year exclusive deal with the nfl so its the only game in town like it or not. I for one hope they deliver a totally new experience and integrate ESPN in nicely for the next gen consoles. Who will know til we play it or see the vid this saturday of what to expect from the next gen version. As for porting the game from ps2 to xbox 2 that wont be possible cause there is a huge difference in the two not like xbox and ps2. This next gen version should be built from the ground up as a next gen game and i for one think it wont be all that much like its versions on xbox and ps2.
Crap, more crap, mega crapPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by Knight of the Herb
I'll give u $200 for the whole lot. I mean it...all iterations of madden, keys to the office complex, whatever EA has. Unparalleled? How about unchallenged? I've only paid for one Madden and that was for my Saturn last year just for "good times" memory sake. Ahh, the last Madden to use "sprite" technology. The 2k series was the best ever! Hands down. No arguement necessary or accepted. $20 was the best money I've ever spent on a brand new sports title. I'll watch the commercials when theyre in regular rotation. U guys know what to do...boycott this game to send EA the message the so desperatly choose to ignore. They are not the best in the business, just the best bank account. I'm gonna miss football (once my 2k5 stops reading). Who's comin with me?
re: HALOPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
since I saw someone mention Halo here, I thought I would also mention that while Halo is a pretty good game, it is WAY overrated. I played Halo 1 & 2 expecting quite a bit based on fanboy rants, but by the time I was done with them, all I could say was, "eh". Let's cut the shit here - all Halo really did was make the PC shooter accessible to the mainstream console market, and throw in some good production values. It's really, at its core, an exercise in B movie plots with cheesy looking aliens, nice pretty music, teamed up with some decent (but not extraordinary) gameplay elements. Even from a techological standpoint, games like Chronicles of Riddick have a more robust graphics engine. And Half Life or HL2 went much further in intelligent gameplay design and innovation. The truth hurts, fanboys, so deal with it. Maybe you'll realize one day, and wonder - what the hell did I see in this game that I would jerk off to pictures of the Master Chef (yes, CHEF is what I call him). Ninja Gaiden is a much better game.
ALL fanboys shut it alreadyPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
Ayup....the title above says it all. Pretty much agree with jdubs. As much as I have supported Sony in the past, none of us really knows really what the hell the Cell processor is TRULY capable of in terms of executing real time code cycles. Who knows, maybe they'll end up alienating developers who don't want to deal with a new coding base 20 times more complicated than VU microcode/assembly. We just don't know. As for Xbox and Nintendo fanboys, none of you really know anything at all either, based on your postings. Unsubstantiated "Xbox/Ps3/Revolution will own, and bashing all other systems for no good reason" rants are wastes of space and time, and just being exposed to such comments just makes everyone dumber.
Re: Girly MusicPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by McManus
Clearly you know nothing of music. I can't think of any more "adult" music than classical. It's one of the few music styles that require intelligence and study to appreciate. Jazz is about the only other musical genre that even compares with the intellectual demands of classical.
PS3 fanboys shut it alreadyPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by jdubs
You sit there and brag that it will be better than Xbox 2 blah blah blah because of "Cell Technology". Have you seen this so called cell technology be used in a actual game yet? My guess is no, so kindly shut it till you can actually back up your statements. Where are the graphic specs on the PS3? Just because you have a big bad supercomputer doesn't automatically mean it will dominate. A computer is only as good as the parts in it so if there's some crappy on board video card, then the cell technology isn't really going to help now is it? Plus with new technology, there is always the chance that there could potentially be problems with it in the future. Has it been extensively tested for a couple years?
ClimaxPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by eightbitkid
hope this group jumps on too. they make motogp series, and that would be a great addition to the next gen xbox.
sighPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by greenblu22
I dream of a day when there will be a universal format, when graphics will get to a point where they cannot improve in any noticeable way... maybe then games will work more like movies do today: if you want to play them you can buy a 'game player' and pop in a disc. Console wars really are silly, aside from the controller the only real difference between the next gen systems will be the games themselves.
Extra content?Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by metroidfreak
Dont be surprised if there's some content only for the Xbox 2 version-Xbox 2 has about 4 dozen publishers working on games for it, and if the specs are as good as everyone wants, EA could probably cram every Madden game since the PS1 games on to an XBox 2 disc.
PS2 portPosted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by StrongWolf
They are gonna do like they have been doing for years...port it directly from the PS2 so its not gonna reach the full potential. EA Sucks...search the clubs for EA Haterz
Yea Yea...Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by AnimeOnslaught
It doesnt matter if Playstation has cell technology, and also that it plays a different media format. The fact is sony is spending tons of money for all this technological crap when x-box is going to stick to DVD which is good enough, and stick to their classical computer part stuff... so if both systems are equal in power, who benefits? Nintendo Rev in my opinion will be the best of the 3, and dont forget SILICON KNIGHTS AND SEGA are teaming up and making "Hard ware"... meaning.. another system? Thats the only Hard ware that comes to my mind. Nintendo always sets the standards.. like for instance their IBM chip.. yea, now the other systems are following in their footsteps.
Not interested in Madden, but...Posted: Apr 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by jeffreyjapan1
It will be interesting to see the next gen graphics in motion. I'm sure it'll be a short cut scene and not in game play...but I guess it's better than nothing.

Just wanted to let you manly - hardcore - tough - macho dudes know that the music you hear in HALO sounds really girly. Come on, You dis all the other systems but yet you deal with classical - sentimental - soft touch (yourself) music. pathetic. Xbox is a real "Adult" machine alright.

Re: I'm tired of fanboysPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by underdog006
I must say - that was very well stated. I own an XBox as well, so I feel I can wholeheartedly agree that XBox will very likely be the weakest of the next-gen consoles. Just as PS2 is now weaker than XBox because PS2 technology is one year older, XBox 2 will have technology that is older than the PS3 by at least a year. I'd say that's a pretty big risk for Microsoft to take considering that Sony already has a larger user base established. Of course, this is just my fairly uneducated prediction of what the future holds. I could be way off.

First of all, we don't know for sure which is going to be what. For all we KNOW, Nintendo could pull out a Supercomputer the size of a wristwatch for a nickel a piece. Nothing is concrete. Second of all, power doesn't really matter that much. Some of the most fun games I've played have hardly taken a bite out of graphical or processing capabilities of PS2/XBox. Katamari Damancy comes to mind. Power is not always proportional to Fun.
EA buys GodPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
Electronic Arts announced today that they have bought out God, Who is also known as YahWeh, in a surprise strategic maneuver. Jonathan Cleart, VP of Marketing at EA, announced that "our acquisition of God will allow us to continue our goal of providing top-notch content for the next generation consoles, while controlling the fate of mankind. Although we considered buying Shiva and to a lesser extent, President George W. Bush, we decided that God would be a better decision in the long run, particularly when Armageddon and/or Nuclear Holocaust arrives. That way the left over surviving cockroaches can still enjoy Madden 2045. Oh wait I wasn't allowed to say 2045 give me back that NDA -" As of press time, it was rumored that EA execs were mulling over the purchase of Jupiter's moon Amalthea, as it has the letters "EA" as the last two.
re: supernova76Posted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by coldcrush
Uh...Xbox 2 will rule PS3 and Revolution? Whether or not that ends up being true, just what are you basing that well-founded FACT on? Oh I know how - you must actually be the Managing TD/Creative Director for Next Gen Console development at EA. And the CTO over at SCEA. And J. Allard. I'm glad people continue to post intelligent, well-backed opinions here. %$#%#$@% Fanboys.
The only difference isPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by blitz34
The only difference is they'll have that espn logo on there with the case I ain't going to buy their football games ever because they're too cheap to me my friends like that game I still don't know why I mean ESPN NFL 2K5 was 20$ I got more off of that then playing Madden 2005 and buying it for 50$
THQ/CrushPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by psporchickentaco
I can;t remember A single THQ game I've ever liked, And xbox 2 w/e the hell it is crush revolution and PS3, Right PS3 is supposed too be the most superior, which is one of the only reasons Xbox is alive other then halo. Revolution Die? Currently Nintendos fanbase Is way too hardcore/Loyal won't happen. And you seem too be discounting the fact that sony has the most 3rd party support and best 3rd party, some decent 2nd part and ok 1st Reeses Peace's
Too much Hype if you ask mePosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by SSJ4Goku9999
All I hear is Nintendo will have a "Revolution", Sony will have the "Cell" chip and Microsoft will have best of all in their opinion. Honestly I'm sick of the hype. Show the consoles then decide. In my personal opinion Microsoft will bomb the next generation just because they rushed it (unless the hype is correct in that case good for Microsoft). Sony and Nintendo are at least keeping a bit quiet about it till E3.
I'm tired of fanboysPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by EmperorSamoth
I love my Xbox, but the truth is that Microsoft will have the least powerful system of the next generation. The sooner we can accept that, the better most of ya'll be able to sleep at night.
GreatPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by EmperorSamoth
But is this really news to anyone? I mean, Xbox has been pretty good to THQ (Full Spectrum Warrior), so developing for the new hardware should be a no brainer, especially for a western developer. Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong with most of the Japanese developers nowadays?
X2.....Posted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by supernova76
Microsofts next machine will crush the ps3 and revolution, fanboys beware
EA to unveil nuclear weaponPosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by BreakfastPills
"We have had a 'dedicated' team working on next generation... " Dedicated = Overworked and underpaid. Obviously. It's only a matter of time before EA has a complete monoploy.
Unparalleled ????Posted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by AO1972
It is easy to be an unparalleled NFL football experience. If and when you have a six year exclusive deal. And your the only one making NFL football games. I have no doubt it will look great that will be partly cause of the new systems. And since they are the only game in town, so to speak, I bet prices will rise to play. If you noticed EA profit margin dropped last year. And that was because gamers' put they feet down to this crap and refuse to suppose EA Sport. Exculsive deal only work for those who has the deal and not gamers. If you wanna send a message to EA, don't buy the game. It as simple as that.
They are gonna show video footagePosted: Apr 18, 2005 12:00AM PST by sdogg2005
Like the title says they are showing footage of it during the NFL DRAFT! I for one am gonna be glued to my seat. Hell i remember the first commcercial of madden 2001 for ps2. Not a better feeling in thew world. I hope to see as big a improvemnt from ps1 version to ps2 as ps2 to ps3!

Thank you 1up.comPosted: Apr 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by Michiyo_Yoshiku
For not referring to the XBOX 2/Xenon as XBOX360...... that is such a stupid name. and the Domain for XBOX360 isn't even owned by Microsoft.
Orig. Xbox launchPosted: Apr 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by Chargers44
When the Xbox was first launched it came with that rollerbladin game and racing game together. Both showed off the xbox capabilities. I think it could just be screens for a similar crappy racer that just has graphics that show off the Next Xbox's potential
If it's not PGR3...Posted: Apr 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by ElMariachi003
Then it can only be either a Forza Motorsport for the next gen (maybe), OR... Need for Speed returns back to it's roots. :)
Screenshots of cars???Posted: Apr 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by RadioAct
There's almost no point to that. I can't tell any diff between thoughs picks and picks from GT4. Cars are almost to the point of realisim anyway. Oh well maybe they will show some picks of the next Splinter Cell or Halo or something soon.

InterestingPosted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by gamewiz1
I'm one to think that no matter what this thing looks like, its going to sell fast. For the most part, its going to be the first next gen console out the gates, and that alone is reason to believe that it will sell. On the other hand, being first out the gate also has its drawbacks. Dreamcast anyone?hehe I'm sure the initial rush to get one will die down pretty fast, since alot of folks out there are either Big N fanboys, or will wait for the PS3's uber power. Regardless, It should be worth the purchase price, although I'm still a bit conscerned that they are going to make all controllers wireless, cause if they don't have force feedback, then I'm not buying it. Oh yeah, if the battery life of the wireless controller is akin to PSP timeframes, then again, your in trouble, cause all night parties with friends will not be possible, and that will kill the systems chances. Well see. I'm interested, but not sold. One too many mistakes, and I'm waiting for the other choices.
Sweet! Looks GoodPosted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by Tari_Was_Not_Here
If that is the new XBOX, then I give it 2 thumbs up! I never liked the black and green. Always reminded me of a booger. But the white would look sleek, and stylish. Lets hope someone out there isn't just jerking on our chains!
I love bees, part IIPosted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by pzsoul
I for some reason can't help but be excited about the promotions that Xbox is putting out. I was in the movie theater when I saw www.ilovebees.com, rushed home afterward and started unknowingly playing a game. Ourcolony, is about to get a new member. I've seen the pictures (2 for the controller, 1 for the power button) I think the reason the controller looks like it does is because they've had so many problems with people complaining. If you look at the power button there is a face in it... who's is it?

next gen screenshots??Posted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by greenblu22
the one on the left looks like it's from a PS1 version of Ridge Racer, and the second one is barely on par with Gran Turismo 4. I think Microsoft is trying to manipulate us.
The games will decide the system.Posted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by The_Wolverine
Xbox 2 is going to possibly be good, but I want to see the games first. The Godfather looks good, but I've never seen the movies and quite frankly could care less about a game based on it. I think it's a bad idea. Xbox 2 though seems like an ok system. If Xbox 2 has Perfect Dark Zero on it, Halo 3 and possibly something else...then I'll conisder Xbox 2, but right now it's not looking too hot.
whateverPosted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by Abe_no_Seimei
I really don't care much for PGR myself, but the graphics do look realistic. But, hey, maybe they are actually screenshots from GT4 and we wouldn't know the diff. I mean how much more realistic can these cars get. It seems like every new racing game has the same realism to their cars that you just can't improve on. Neyways, from those pics of the "the controller" I can barely tell that it is a controller at all. Maybe it is a current console controller that has been altered in photoshop or something or completely made up. I dunno. I need to see more to believe that it is actually the future xbox 2's controller. ps: I just saw mkp2k4's blog and the pic in it. I agree with him, if that is the controller it looks like crap. It might not be, since the pic is blurry and I doubt that you could get a picture like that before any or much news is released about it.
kinda iffy on that controller...Posted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by 4SaKin1
that controller DOES look a lil unappealing, but we'll just have to wait for e3 to see if it's real or not... i've always loved my type s controller, but i do miss my "fatty"... as for the gamecube controller, i think it's the most ergonomic, comfy and lightest of the three, but i do hope they do something 'bout those face buttons... and the d-pad could be a lil bigger... as for the ps2, i don't really like the feel of the controller... too small and i don't like the triggers... as for this possible mock-up for the next-gen xbox, if that is the final design, then it might take a lil getting used to...
wtf?Posted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by Pipucho
a game site that makes gamers play it to unlock pics of the next xbox? and those controller pics look too small and look like regular pads/joysticks. project gotham racing 3 will kick ass, but has the xbox actually been streched to its graphical limit?
what can i sayPosted: Apr 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by deerhunterthredd
definitely seems like a controller. there can be no doubts about that.
Great graphicsPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by tapontiac86
I think those two pictures of the car look awesome. I don't know how anyone can say looks like a game on a bumpy ps2 game. That must've been a ps2 owner jealous of a hi-def picture coming to xbox next.
Nothing specialPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by djtnt629
This is nothing special. The pictures arent all that great. You can't see the too much of the controler design. Just hope its not as big as the original xbox control. And whats with the white. As for the game it doesn't look any better than what you can get on ps2 or gamecube
???? Maybe notPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by gc_for_real
To tell you the truth that image does not look real to me. It just looks so homemade man I don't know maybe it is the real thing( Hope not). But anyway MTV is suppose to be airing some type of show that will reveal the next xbox it is also suppose to show actual game footage. Check your listings for exact details and times.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves...Posted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by homercheif
Ok, so a few pics have leaked. Nobobody knows if they are real or not. Lets not make any amsumptions yet, wait and see what Microsoft has in store for us.
You're rightPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by nsr_schn_maul
that controller does look like shit. But we haven't seen the other two consoles offerings...so this may be the best of the three! :S
Im not impressedPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by Venomus
I hope thats not the controller. I like having 6 buttons on the face..it dosnt look like the Nextgen controller that I imagined. I bet you its fake..it also looks like the start and back button is in the center of the controller...I mean it might work good, but it reminds me of the sidewinder....and those pics? Nothing nextgen about those

I like the black & green look of their current box. I hope it's not the final color-scheme, white looks too "sterile"...
Yeah..., about that...Posted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by Zygex
Huh, as badass as a few scattered pictures depicting a controller (?) as photographed be a drunken two-year old who got happy with the zoom lense and some cars that could've been from GT3 is... I still just can't get excited over this... Why the hell anyone's writing an article about this is beyond me. If you'll excuse me.

Cars...Posted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by EchoRenegade
Not a big fan of racers...but I was thinking those cars look pretty real. Hope some more pics come up...
Hmmmm. the pictures do look good...Posted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by verdimus
...but its still kinda hard to judge the strengths and weakness of a system based off two leaked, racing game photos. i mean, in all honesty i've seen photos of GT4 that look almost as good as these; and it clearly doesn't look as good as those mock-up pictures EA had of what they thought would be the true capability of next-gen systems. i guess time will tell. but i'm still glad to see the strides that Microsoft are making in unveiling its next-gen system.
Another ARGPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by FaceF18
Actually both controller pictures and the picture of the car on the right are pictures released on www.ourcolony.net. Apparently it is an ARG like ilovebees. No wonder. ilovebees was so amazingly successful Microsoft would be stupid not to give it another go. Anyway it has been linked to Microsoft and those pictures of the controllers are apparently for the next xbox. My thinking is that the picture of the car on the right must be Project Gotham 3. It looks amazing.
Controller PicPosted: Apr 12, 2005 12:00AM PST by SlaughterX
Some guy on the Gamespot forums had a pic of what was supposedly was the controller for the next Microsoft system. Many people wrote it off as a Logitech wireless controller painted white (kinda like it but not really), I wonder if it was true or not...

What's a 'Cheif'??Posted: Mar 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by sirmikael
I hope you have a clever answer for that, other than it being a typo! :) Back on topic....I'd love to get the wireless headset/controller combo, as long as it doesn't have the buzzing problem that I've heard some of the current headsets have.
maybe you shouldPosted: Mar 26, 2005 12:00AM PST by Orcansee
well maybe you should feel stupid. it didnt come with a connection piece to the xbox cntroller... so I've heard (I didnt waste my money on one) But this wireless cotroller and headset might possibly workout and would be quite awsome.
Homercheif needs to readPosted: Mar 24, 2005 12:00AM PST by klasick420
Now, we were told that people need to read by Homercheif. Well, I just read this article and it states that this is a wireless headset/controller combo package. Now, if this article is incorrect, then I apologize Homercheif, but I do believe you were the one that misunderstood it!
people need to read!Posted: Mar 24, 2005 12:00AM PST by homercheif
not to name names(i'm sure you read others feedback.) this is a head set not a controller. the thought of this wireless head set is lame. bad idea, will probibly be another crappy 3rd party item. how many controllers fail, this will fail with them. if you really love games, you will spend the extra money for the real thing. there is one exception, logitech makes some good 3rd party items, but only them.
not so fast...Posted: Mar 23, 2005 12:00AM PST by ehlien
I work at a best buy and a videogame shop in my hometown and both stores got these the other nite. They are pure crap. they use some of the worst quality plastic I have ever seen on 3rd party peripherals...its disgusting. we got them tuesday at the one store and already had one come back defective cause the system connector could sense the controller but not the headset. I had the logitech one, it was ok, great range, but there was a really annoying ticking sound at all times in my ear from it. Even after turning off all the other 2.4GHz equipment around me it was still ticking. I would say save your cash and get used to untangling wires.
That's some good newsPosted: Mar 23, 2005 12:00AM PST by Aquasoul87
I still don't have a headset, but the combo sounds like a good deal.
coolPosted: Mar 23, 2005 12:00AM PST by MetalMilitia417
to bad i wont be getting it. really no need, the wires not in my way.

Thu., May. 12, 2016
The Indianapolis Star is now reporting that Jamarcus Ellis and Armon Bassett have been dismissed from the Indiana basketball team.
This is a story we've been following for a week. As the Star report states, Bassett and Ellis have been late to a series of meetings. Our sources also say that they then refused to accept the punishment meted out by interim coach Dan Dakich.
He wanted them to run. They wouldn't run.
When the team met today, Ellis and Bassett were not there.
So far, we've been unable to reach Ellis, Bassett or Dakich.
This is yet another interesting development in a season full of them.
Dakich said he would clean up the culture at IU and this appears to be a step in that direction.
But it is a bit curious that Dakich has been left in place to make decisions about the team that some other coach will probably inherit. It seems like Bassett and Ellis would have to do more than show up late for a few meetings and disobey a lame-duck coach to get completely booted from the program.
More on this as the story develops.
Read more in Men's Basketball
If true, the implosion continues. I'm practically speechless.
wow, tryouts at the HPER this summer?
I'm now resigned for a 5-25 season next year, no matter who's coaching.
somebody make it stop.
If anyone there actually knows Dan Dakich the man, and isn't just basing their decisions on his 5 game record with a team still in shock from losing thier head coach, or his 10 years at a small mid major with very little commitment from the school for athletics, you would all be on the "band wagon†to keep Dan on as your head coach. He knows how to coach and win at any level and he will bring back the integrity that has been missing from your program.
three years from now we'll all be hyped for an IU final four appearance, looking back on this and laughing. but tonight, i may drink myself into oblivion.
Can I blame this on Greenspan? Seriously, how can you leave a babysitter in a position to punish what are someone elses kids. Should have been left to the new coach.
good for dakich. its by far the best thing he's done. i'm so tired of these players bitching. its time they grow up and realize that this is sampson's fault not dakich and whoever the new coach is should not allow them back. that goes for guys like crawford and thomas as well. they aren't bigger than the program, the program will survive.
Bill… great post.. agreed, Dakich is a great man and would only look out for the best interests in the university/program.
We better name a coach (anyone) quick. You have a man acting as coach without the support of the university (At least for now). IU administration continues its awesome ability to manage and lead.
This isn't Dakich's call. This is a new coaches call. Unless he is named the new coach, he has no place kicking these guys off. They may need to go, but it's not his call. Greenspan should fire the idiot for making us and him look bad in front of the entire nation. Great news for the final four week. Just the positive PR we needed right now. Great job Dan.
They are thugs and can't follow rules now like they couldn't follow rules before. Clean house now and build a team that respects what it is all about being a player and student at IU. To Bassett and Ellis, don't let the door hit you in the….
Mark how is he making IU look bad? It is Bassett and Ellis looking like babies. They can't follow simple rules and don't want to pay the price. Most of them should have been gone when they couldn't follow IU/NCAA rules and were only suspended for 3 games.
It sounds like he did what a coach should do.
Scott…care to elaborate on the "thugs" comment? Are the tats a little too much for you or what?
how can you claim 'dakich knows how to win at any level?' if he in fact knew how to win, he would have won at Bowling Green, regardless of your claim of an unsupportive admin.
and how can a man who is NOT the head coach of this team dismiss anyone? what an embarrassment.
dont mind scott. just has a case of 'sand in the va-jay-jay'
Sand in the va-jay-jay…marked it down for future reference. Thanks.
Dakich will not BE the coach but Dakich IS the coach. He has the responsibility to keep the team disciplined and ready to play for IU whether they like it or not.
No matter what his status he runs the team. The players do not run the team. if they don't want to listen to the coach they need to go home. IU doesn't need any player enough to give control of the team to them.
Good.. find someone who actually cares about who they play for. The way Ellis mailed it in the last three weeks of the season made me sick. Enjoy your lack of education in a few years Mr. Ellis.. the world is full of BB players who are worth a damn… remember the kid from jeffersonville who got kicked off the team? Or the kid from Chicago (Michael something) about 12 yrs ago? he got mad at Knight and just left in the middle of the semester…..
it's just sad that they are this disrespectful when they are treated like gods at IU… I don't have any respect for any of them now, I do not get why they can't just follow rules set forth for them. I'm not sure about this, but aren't they the ones that wanted to not play!?
BC-No tats aren't to much for me. The trying to punch your own player(Thomas), the not caring about gettting a free education and not being able to stay "Clean" long enough to get the free education. The crying because you don't feel you are playing enough. Should I go on? Just drive around on any given night and you can watch these thugs out at the bars all night during the entire season. All they care about is party, party, party
heres an idea for ya scott and bhss73 – lets only recruit from the carmel country club! then you guys won't have to be so afraid of the thugs at night.
what a wonderfully tolerant and open community this is.
Its funny how every one is on DD case. Remember he didn't put himself in this position. The administration did when they made the bad decision to hire a coach based on players not the what was best. MD could do nothing but fail in this case. Next, they hire a person already in NCAA problems. Then instead of suspending for few games and making decisions at end of season we rush to jusgement hoping not to be punished. We have a proud program with alot of support we will go through a hard time but we will compete.
Well it is a real shame if this is true. Both of those are/were poised to be very big pieces of whats left on this team. But hey rules are rules and regardless of how IU is supporting Dakich right now he is the man and they should respect that. What kind of basketball player won't run anyway? That's a pretty pathetic thing to do, and while that punishment seems harsh, surely this stems from more than just being late to a few practices. There is definitely more to the story.

Jest uses Jasmine assertions by default and Jest is modular, extendible and configurable.
Sandboxed and Fast
Mock by Default
Jest automatically mocks JavaScript modules, making most existing code testable.
Why use Jest?
Jest automatically finds tests to execute in your repo, and automatically mocks dependencies for you when running your tests.
It sandboxes test files, and resets state automatically for every test.
Uses static analysis to find and only run relevant test files during local development.
Runs tests in parallel processes to minimize test runtime.
Getting Started
First install Jest with npm by running:
npm install --save-dev jest-cli
Great! Now let's get started by writing a test for a hypothetical
sum.js file:
function sum(a, b) { return a + b; } module.exports = sum;
Create a directory
__tests__/ with a file
jest.unmock('../sum'); // unmock to use the actual implementation of sum describe('sum', () => { it('adds 1 + 2 to equal 3', () => { const sum = require('../sum'); expect(sum(1, 2)).toBe(3); }); });
Add the following to your
"scripts": { "test": "jest" }
npm test:
[PASS] __tests__/sum-test.js (0.010s)
The code for this example is available at examples/getting_started.
And you are ready to enjoy working with Jest!
Babel Integration #
If you'd like to use Babel, it can easily be enabled:
npm install --save-dev babel-jest babel-polyfill
Don't forget to add a
.babelrc file
in your project's root folder. For example, if you are using ES2015 and
React.js with the
babel-preset-es2015 and
babel-preset-react presets:
{ "presets": ["es2015", "react"] }
You are now set up to use all ES2015 features and React specific syntax, for example:
jest.unmock('../CheckboxWithLabel'); import React from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; import TestUtils from 'react-addons-test-utils'; import CheckboxWithLabel from '../CheckboxWithLabel'; describe('CheckboxWithLabel', () => { it('changes the text after click', () => { // Render a checkbox with label in the document const checkbox = TestUtils.renderIntoDocument( <CheckboxWithLabel labelOn="On" labelOff="Off" /> ); const checkboxNode = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(checkbox); // Verify that it's Off by default expect(checkboxNode.textContent).toEqual('Off'); // ... }); });
And you are good to go! The next time you run Jest it will print something like
Using Jest CLI v<version>, jasmine2, babel-jest
The React, Relay and react-native repositories have excellent examples of tests written by Facebook engineers.
React, React-Native and Snapshot Testing #
Check out the React tutorial and the React-Native tutorial to get started with React or React-Native codebases.
We recommend using React's test renderer (
npm install --save-dev react-test-renderer) to capture snapshots with Jest's snapshot feature. Write a test using
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer'; it('renders correctly', () => { const tree = renderer.create( <Link page="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</Link> ).toJSON(); expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot(); });
and it will produce a snapshot like this:
exports[`Link renders correctly 1`] = ` <a className="normal" href="http://www.facebook.com" onMouseEnter={[Function bound _onMouseEnter]} onMouseLeave={[Function bound _onMouseLeave]}> Facebook </a> `;
On subsequent test runs, Jest will compare the stored snapshot with the rendered output and highlight differences. If there are differences, Jest will ask you to fix your mistake and can be re-run with
jest -u to update an outdated snapshot.
Advanced Features #
Only run test files related to changes with
jest -o #
On large projects and applications it is often not feasible to run thousands of
tests when a single file changes. Jest uses static analysis to look up
dependency trees in reverse starting from changed JavaScript files only. During
development, it is recommended to use
jest -o or
jest --onlyChanged which
will find tests related to changed JavaScript files and only run relevant tests.
Install Jest globally #
Jest can be installed globally:
npm install -g jest-cli which will make a
jest command available that can be invoked from anywhere within your
Async testing #
Promises and even async/await can be tested easily.
Assume a
user.getUserName function that returns a promise, now consider this
async test with Babel and
babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator or
jest.unmock('../user'); import * as user from '../user'; describe('async tests', () => { // The promise that is being tested should be returned. it('works with promises', () => { return user.getUserName(5) .then(name => expect(name).toEqual('Paul')); }); it('works with async/await', async () => { const userName = await user.getUserName(4); expect(userName).toEqual('Mark'); }); });
Check out the Async tutorial for more.
Automated Mocking and Sandboxing #
Jest isolates test files into their own environment and isolates module
execution between test runs. Jest swaps out
require() to inject mocks that
were either created manually
by the user or automatic mocks through the
automocking feature.
Use the
--watch option to automatically re-run tests #
Jest can automatically re-run tests when files change:
jest --watch
--bail to abort after the first failed test. #
If you don't want to wait until a full test run completes
--bail can
be used to abort the test run after the first error.
--coverage to generate a code coverage report #
Code coverage can be generated easily with
-----------------------|----------|----------|----------|----------| File | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines | -----------------------|----------|----------|----------|----------| react/ | 91.3 | 60.61 | 100 | 100 | CheckboxWithLabel.js | 91.3 | 60.61 | 100 | 100 | -----------------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
--json for CI integrations #
Jest can be integrated into Continuous Integration test runs and wrapped with other scripts to further analyze test results.
Example Output:
{ "success": true, "startTime": 1456983486661, "numTotalTests": 1, "numTotalTestSuites": 1, "numRuntimeErrorTestSuites": 0, "numPassedTests": 1, "numFailedTests": 0, "numPendingTests": 0, "testResults":[ { "name": "react/__tests__/CheckboxWithLabel-test.js", "status": "passed", "startTime": 1456983488908, "endTime": 1456983493037 } ] }
Remote debugging with Web Inspector #
Web Inspector can be used to debug both the application code and the testing
code. To set this up, first verify that you have both
node-inspector and
node-debug installed.
which node-inspector which node-debug
Install packages that you are missing.
npm install -g node-inspector node-debug
node-debug with the Jest binary as the target.
node-debug node_modules/jest-cli/bin/jest.js -i
You should see that Node Inspector has been started in the prompt.
Node Inspector Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?port=5858 to start debugging. Debugging `node_modules/jest-cli/bin/jest.js` Debugger listening on port 5858
A new Chrome window should open and subsequently open a page to localhost on
port 5858. If this does not happen, you can go to the debugging URL directly
in a Chrome browser tab. The program should stop in the
jest.js file in
the first line of code. Press the play button in the inspector window to
continue execution.
To stop the code at an arbitrary point, set a
debugger expression in the
code where you would like the program to stop. Stop (
ctrl-c) and restart
node-debug in the command line to catch at the debugger expression you
just added.

The Best Adjustable Dumbbells: What You Need To Know When Buying
Jump to: Bowflex SelectTech 552 | Iron Master Quick Lock | PowerBlock Elite | Universal Power Pak | Bayou Fitness
The best adjustable dumbbells are the first step in turning your home office into a home gym. Working out at home is becoming more and more popular. As many people turn toward work out routines and DVDs, they ditch the costly gym membership. If you intend on working out from home, you will need to invest in a set of adjustable dumbbells.
Top 3 Adjustable Dumbbells Side by Side

Reasons To Buy Adjustable Dumbbells
There are many reasons to buy adjustable dumbbells. The best adjustable dumbbells for you are the ones that accommodate all of YOUR needs. Everybody has different fitness goals. It is important to choose the right adjustable dumbbells that suit you and your needs. This is why it is important to first identify your needs before making your decision. There are many health benefits to using adjustable dumbbells. Think about your current fitness level and where you would like your adjustable dumbbells to take you on your fitness journey.
Dumbbells are an essential part to any home gym. Its important to note any space constraints before you purchase your equipment. A traditional set of dumbbells with the same variety as adjustable dumbbells would take up an entire room. That simply isn't practical for many home exercise enthusiasts. Many home gym owners conserve space by purchasing an adjustable dumbbell set. Some of the best adjustable dumbbells can take up as little as 3-4 square feet.
What To Consider When Choosing An Adjustable Dumbbell Set
There are many factors that go into a good dumbbell set. The most important part is that you pick the best adjustable dumbbell set that fits the best with your needs. Learn how to start a fitness routine and set goals so you know which will be the best adjustable dumbbells for you. The following list of considerations provides you with a great place to start comparing adjustable dumbbell sets.
The material that your adjustable dumbbells are made out of can be a deciding factor when you go to make a purchase. If you want to have heavier, less bulky weights you will need to get a dense material like steel. Some of the best adjustable dumbbells are made from other less dense materials. These can work well for lifters who are worrying about their dumbbells damaging the floor or walls of their workout room. These other materials also are good for beginners who may be starting with less weight to begin with.
Weight Range
It is important to find a set of adjustable dumbbells that is best suited to your abilities and goals. The best adjustable dumbbells are ones that will fit to your current strength and ability but still allow for the addition of more weight as your workouts intensify and you become stronger. Learn how to properly lift, and learn which weight range will be comfortable for you. Ideally there will always be a next weight to move up to, providing you with manageable goals. The gradual increase of weight over time is crucial to your muscle development.
Adjustment Increments
This factor is sometimes overlooked but it still remains very important. The rate at which you may wish to increase your adjustable dumbbells weight may differ from the college football teams using adjustable dumbbells.
If you are doing frequent intense workouts you may want to increase by as much as 5 lbs at a time to keep your muscles guessing. However, if you are doing less frequent, less intense workouts 2.5 lb increments may be ideal to minimize the stress on your body. It is important that you chose increments that are most comfortable for you.
In many cases the best adjustable dumbbells will be the ones that will last the longest. If you are investing in a home gym, chances are that you will want to be able to use it a lot. The life of your weights will depend on many factors including the construction and over all durability. It is important that you are getting a quality product that will last. Faulty equipment can result in serious injury. It is important to avoid knock off products because their quality of construction almost never matches the authentic product.
Ergonomics of Adjustable Dumbbell Grips
Adjustable dumbbells come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You may not have the same body type as an average weight lifter. As a result, the most comfortable set of dumbbells for one lifter may not be the best fit for you. It is important to consider shape, size and build of every adjustable dumbbell set that look at. Make sure that the dumbbells you chose are comfortable for you to use. This will keep you from using discomfort as an excuse from achieving your fitness goals with adjustable dumbbells.
Read Real Costumer Reviews
When researching which adjustable dumbbells are best for you it is important to take other costumers experiences into consideration. Always seek out real, trustworthy reviews. Costumer reviews that thoroughly showcase all the features of the weights are good but also read the negative reviews to look for common issues. It is important to read many reviews to find the overall best adjustable dumbbells.

Each tree was very thin, less than the diameter of my index finger on average from root to top. Both trees were poorly developed. They had few branches and each branch had few leaves (in total, less than two dozen leaves on both trees combined). The leaves they did have were brown, crispy, and full of holes from bugs chewing on them.
Both trees had also been grown without any support and simply allowed to bow over. One tree bowed over to the side so far that the top touched the ground.
I received the trees on a Friday and planted them, but, after further consideration, decided to complain to the company about the quality of the trees. They requested photos, which I sent, and then, rather than attempt to resolve the dispute and without even trying to refute the obviously unhealthy and underdeveloped trees, they simply said that they would not accept any returns because the trees were planted. In their responses to my BBB complaint they first tried to imply that I was complaining about "damaged" items, then, when I pointed out that nowhere in my complaint about their poor quality did I say they were damaged, they started referring to their "policies" on their website.
Terribly quality product and high prices. I wish I'd done my research on this group before I bought from them. Given the number of complaints against them at the BBB site (almost 80 as of 8/20/2010) and their poor rating with the BBB, as well as the complaints about them on sites around the web, I could have been warned away to a reputable nursery. I would encourage anyone else to steer clear of them or to at least read and seriously consider the parade of complaints about their lousy products before ordering from them.

The more complaints they receive the more the company will come under a tighter scrutiny. Companies like this with such poor customer business need to close.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
