I Don't Like Mondays
The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit and nonpartisan project, has compiled data on gun-related homicides and shootings in the United States. The data includes location information, with which this interactive map has been created to determine how many people have been shot near your home this year.
Come aboard. We're expecting... well, maybe not YOU.
In the ten years it ran on ABC, it seemed like everybody who was anybody had been a guest star on "The Love Boat". Well, not quite, and one weird Tumblr now exists to fix that... Love Boat Insanity inserts pictures of those who missed the Love Boat into the familiar logo - people who were doing other things, or the producers would not have approved of, as well as others who were too young at the time, or too old or too dead or just purely fictional. Over 850 guest stars so far...
EXTREME! Oil Extraction
Project Oil Sands - "In the late 1950s, Dr. Manley Natland, a passionate, lifelong geologist working for the Richfield Oil Corporation, hatched a gonzo idea to harness the power of a nuclear explosion for the benefit of bitumen extraction in Alberta's oil sands. He proposed a plan to plant an atomic bomb deep below the oil sands, set it off and start pumping the oil freed up by the intense heat of the explosion."

The Toughest Sailing Race on Earth
The 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race begins today, leaving Alicante, Spain headed for Cape Town, South Africa. The longest and most dangerous sporting event in the world, the epic sailing regatta covers 38,739 nautical miles and will take nearly 9 months to complete, covering the toughest conditions on earth, including the dreaded Southern Ocean.
This year's race shares almost nothing in common from the original Whitbread in 1973, save for one thing; there is no prize for winning. [more inside]

Right now someone who works for Facebook is getting tens of thousands of error messages and frantically trying to find the problem before the whole charade collapses. There's a team at a Google office that hasn't slept in three days. Somewhere there's a database programmer surrounded by empty Mountain Dew bottles whose husband thinks she's dead. And if these people stop, the world burns. Most people don't even know what sysadmins do, but trust me, if they all took a lunch break at the same time they wouldn't make it to the deli before you ran out of bullets protecting your canned goods from roving bands of mutants.
Decaying London properties of the rich, and otherwise.
In 2013, 85% of new houses in London were sold to non-UK buyers. Many stand empty and decaying, held as investments instead of homes. On the other end of the scale, desperate renters turn to leaking barges on the Thames.

James Holmes and the Insanity Defense
Today, Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester ordered psychiatric analysis of Dark Knight Rises mass-shooting suspect James Holmes. Holmes will enter a plea tomorrow and is expected to plea Not Guilty by reason of Insanity. Judge Sylvester's court order could involve use of both narco analysis (read: truth serum) and a polygraph test. [more inside]
Insanity, Death, or Abandonment
"A blue cloud of smoke wafted over the Famous Five statue that sits just east of the Senate doors. No one seemed to be going insane or looking like they were about to personally invade the United States. There were people of all colours in the crowd, but if any of them were members of The Ring, they hid it well. The peaceful demonstrators were, however, breaking the law, smoking a banned substance that could in theory have landed any one of them in prison." Emily Murphy's legacy lives on in more ways than most care to remember.
Staying Frosty
"Transforming the second chapter of Ellen Ripley's ongoing war with the Xenomorphs into an icecapade is the kind of loony idea that that can only possibly exist after someone has exploded fireworks inside a crowded bar to simulate RoboCop's iconic gas station explosion while the titular cyborg breaks into a musical interlude describing his existential crisis. Anything else would be a step back after that."The Old Murder House Theater is a comedy troupe in Austin known for doing... shall we say... unusual movie adaptations.

The Brain on Trial. Advances in brain science are calling into question the volition behind many criminal acts. A leading neuroscientist describes how the foundations of our criminal-justice system are beginning to crumble, and proposes a new way forward for law and order.
"We may someday find that many types of bad behavior have a basic biological explanation—as has happened with schizophrenia, epilepsy, depression, and mania."[more inside]
Overtime, all the time.
The Speedup. Webster's defines speedup as "an employer's demand for accelerated output without increased pay," and it used to be a household word.
Horror Vacui
"Horror vacui - 'fear of emptiness' or empty space is a term I love. The phrase carries with it intimations of mania and compulsion —covering every surface, interweaving pattern atop pattern. Perhaps it can be as loosely interpreted as Collyer Brothers piles or the noisy and noisome claustrophobic streets of Dickensian London. Somehow, though, I relate the term to an overall sensibility. A complex density with an awareness of the whole, not an open-ended haphazardness." A blogger explores the artistic notion of horror vacui.

You know what it is to keep a promise to the dead.
Aboriginal Science Fiction was started in 1987 to rethink the look and feel of SF magazines; Charles Ryan published it in full sized magazine format, on glossy paper, with four-color interior illustrations and it sold well. Aboriginal kept up a full schedule through 1991, when a personal financial crisis nearly shut him down. He kept putting out the occasional issue until 2001, but the irregularity made it hard to find.
Aboriginal courted new writers, one of whom was Robert A. Metzger, an electrical engineer and laser specialist who wrote quirky, fun hard SF stories. After Aboriginal mostly folded and he got shafted on his first book deal, he mostly walked away from writing. He's drifted back in a bit since 2001, but fortunately at some point along the way he decided to put some of his boomerang era pieces online. And that's how it's possible for you to read one of the most haunting, breathtaking short stories I've ever read:

Break the Fall
MINDS ON THE EDGE: Facing Mental Illness is a multi-platform media project that explores severe mental illness in America. The one-hour television program zeros in on wrenching and confounding situations that are playing out every day in homes and hospital ERs, on city streets and school campuses, in courtrooms and in jails, as Americans struggle with the challenges of severe mental illness. The distinguished panel includes U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Nobel Prize winning neurologist Eric Kandel, along with attorneys, doctors, legislators and other experts in the field. Several of the panelists have personal, as well as professional experience, in living with mental illness. A Fred Friendly Seminar.
Thud, empty, hollow.
Revisiting Dr. Rosenhan. Between 1969 and 1972, seven friends embarked on what became known as the Rosenhan Experiment, posing as patients in a dozen psychiatric hospitals. While the medical staff diagnosed the poseurs as 'schizophrenic', their fellow patients quickly caught on to their ruse. The resulting paper, On Being Sane in Insane Places, became an instant classic.
Filling me up with the shivers
Male mental illness in History
No matter their approach, the typical French physician who accepted the notion of male hysteria continued to think that its victims were in some way sexually abnormal: "Thus, despite Charcot's innovative work, the male victim of hysteria in late-nineteenth century French medical imagination was still frequently envisioned as an effeminate heterosexual, an overt homosexual, or a physical or emotional hermaphrodite." If not different sexually, male hysterics were said to be different in other ways, such as race or nationality, among whom African, African-American, south Asian, Arab, or Eastern European Jewish men predominated. Outside of France, other methods of denial appeared, such as the suggestion that male hysteria was restricted to Frenchmen. The medical literature of the time is full of evasions and denials and contradictions of the truths that Charcot had quite obviously demonstrated.- Macho Misery, an extensive and interesting review of Hysterical Men: The Hidden History of Male Nervous Illness.

Liar's Poker was not intended as a how-to manual.
The End of the Wall Street Era. "We always asked the same question," says Eisman. "Where are the rating agencies in all of this? And I'd always get the same reaction. It was a smirk." He called Standard & Poor's and asked what would happen to default rates if real estate prices fell. The man at S&P couldn't say; its model for home prices had no ability to accept a negative number.

Wain's World: How the Artist Went Insane When the Cat Got His Brain
Louis Wain became one of the most famous British illustrators of the late Victorian and Edwardian era after trying to cheer up his wife Emily by drawing portraits of their pet cat, Peter. In addition to publishing a popular children's book about kittens, he was a founder of the U.K's National Cat Club who was instrumental in promoting the Cat Fancy movement, which encouraged Britons of all classes to view cats as lovable pets instead of household pests. Unfortunately, after Wain's wife Emily died of breast cancer, Wain gradually went mad due to psychosis and late onset schizophrenia, ending up in London's notorious Bethlehem Hospital (the etymological origin for the word bedlam). While at Bedlam, Wain continued to draw, but his cat portraits transformed into pure geometric abstraction and psychedelic fractals, but some see harbingers of madness in cryptically titled works, such as Early Indian Irish and The Fire of the Mind Agitates the Atmosphere. For more insight on Wain, check out this 1896 interview and this short film dramatizing the progression of Wain's schizophrenia through his art.

Russian Psychoanalytic Art Mystery
"This was painted by a person with a rare and severe mental disorder. He was constantly seeing his own fantasies all around him. He also had a certain phobia..." (via Digg). The image is an imperfect reproduction of a particular postcard dated 1972. A blogger (in Russian) claims his psychiatry professor found one aspect of this eerie painting that reveals the patient's disorder. Allegedly, only one of his students in the past 15 years has figured it out. The psychoanalytic mystery has piqued the interest (in Russian) of the online community. A number of supplemental hints from the professor and thousands of guesses later, the case remains unsolved. Skeptics have already decried the mystery as a traffic-boosting hoax, but a few signs still point to its authenticity. Most notably, the artist's reproduction of another classic painting contains the following note: "transferred in 1990 from Moscow mental hospital."
Ron Kind: pretty much responsible for the WTC attacks
I'm Paul R Nelson, and I approve of
this message anything that might get me elected. Why? Well, his congressman Ron Kind is the (cue menacing music) WRONG KIND. For starters, he pays for sex, but not soldiers (wmv). On top of that, he also voted to let illegal aliens burn the American flag (wmv). But worst of all? Because of him, we're dependent for oil on islamic fascists and nations that support terrorism. Elect Paul R Nelson, and he'll finish the job he started 23 years ago (wmv). Best. Smear ads. Ever. Check out the radio ads and his photo collection for even more stomach-churning right-wing meretriciousness.

Black Monk Time
The Monks
Formed in the early '60s by American G.I.s stationed in Germany. After their discharge, the group settled in Germany to concentrate on finding a unique sound, and soon began to shave their hair into Monk's tonsures and appear in cassocks. One of the truely original bands of the 60's, The Monks are now often refered to as 'proto-punk'. The Monks experimented fervently, developing a unqiue sound, with heavy bass, repetitive but amelodic rhythms, nursery rhyme style, yet powerful vocals and a good helping of feedback. They recorded only one albumn, Black Monk Time, until their 1999 reunion.
Hear some tracks from the albumn (in realmedia), See and hear The Monks Live in Germany, Also, check out Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback, a documentary (with trailer, though there seems to be something wrong with it). [Trivia: the song I Hate You can be heard in the background in one scene in the bowling alley in The Big Lebowski]

I have taught reading and writing classes for over 30 years. In particular, I have taught English 101 and English 102 at the university and junior college levels. In addition, I teach Introduction to Literature, and I have an expertise in American Indian History and Culture. I am currently retired and have time to work with students who need help organizing an essay and a documented MLA, APA research paper. In teaching literature, I have come to the definite realization that one secret to writing well is to READ!
Another secret to writing well is WORK. I am a no-nonsense teacher and expect students to do the work assigned. If a person wants to achieve anything worthwhile, s/he must be willing to work for it. As Xu Gang so eloquently says in his poem, "Red Azalea on the Cliff": "If someone actually reached that azalea, then an azalea would surely bloom in his heart." I have taught reading and writing classes for over 30 years. In particular, I have taught English 101 and English 102 at the university and junior college levels. In addition,
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

IRVING, Texas – Here are some observations from the second session of organized team activities that was open to the media Tuesday:
Kyle Wilber worked with the first team at right defensive end with DeMarcus Ware out. Tyrone Crawford handled that spot in the first week that was open to the media. Wilber had a productive day. He was active and was around the ball. Remember, he was going against Tyron Smith, too. Wilber did a nice job reading a reverse to WR Terrance Williams.
Dwayne Harris turned into a tremendous punt returner last year and he took the first-team work on Tuesday, but he was later joined by Cole Beasley, B.W. Webb and Anthony Amos.
Teams sometimes shy away from putting starters on special teams, so it was interesting to see Sean Lee and Bruce Carter on the punt coverage team. Lee served as the personal protector.
Morris Claiborne came up with a nice interception of a Kyle Orton throw on a slant-and-go to Miles Austin. Claiborne did not bite on the fake and was able to stay underneath the route to come up with the turnover.
Orton struggled in one-on-one throws, especially the deeper throws. Maybe it was the wind, but he was unable to get the ball to open Dez Bryant a few times. Bryant won every rep he had against Brandon Carr.
When the Cowboys ran their two-minute drill, Williams served as the No. 3 receiver over Harris and did not come off the field. He caught a nice corner route from Orton, tapping his feet just inside the sideline.
Jason Witten caught seven passes in team and seven-on-seven drills. He ended the first-team two-minute drill with a touchdown down the seam after beating Matt Johnson at the line. Witten was able to bend his route a little to the outside to throw Johnson off balance before coming back to the middle with added separation.
Speaking of tight ends, James Hanna had the play of the day with a one-handed grab down the seam as a defender closed quickly. Hanna continues to be the second tight end behind Witten when the Cowboys use their 12 personnel group over Gavin Escobar. It's not that Escobar isn't doing well, it's that Hanna is doing better.
In the battle of No. 2 offense vs. defense, J.J. Wilcox ended the day with an interception of Nick Stephens on a pass across the middle. Stephens was looking for Beasley, who appeared to slow down on his route.
With Justin Durant out with a hamstring injury, Alex Albright was the starting strong-side outside linebacker. He also played some inside linebacker.

The Best and Worst Video Game Compilations
Playing some of your old favorites doesn't always make for a flawless experience.
Continued (page 2 of 2)
The Closest We've Come to Perfection - Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3, Xbox 360, 2011)
Bluepoint Game knows their stuff. In 2011, they released two phenomenal HD collections: Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection, and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, the latter winning by a nose for some of its extra features. The HD Collection bumps Metal Gear Solids 2 and 3's presentation to the next generation -- making them look nearly new in the process -- and transforms Peace Walker into a much more playable experience thanks to a vastly improved control layout. But really, the bonuses make this package unbeatable; the HD Collection includes the remade versions of the MSX Metal Gears, Solid 2's Virtual Missions, and the ability to "transfar" your Peace Walker save to the PSP and back with Peace Walker. Sure, some of the Metal Gear ephemera may be absent (most of Subsistence's second disk is MIA), but this lack of content is negligible enough to make it seem like an oversight rather than pure laziness. Plus, it gives us a whole new reason to buy whatever Metal Gear collection comes out five years down the road -- don't act like you'll be able to resist.
Worst Plague of Current Technological Issues on Last-Gen Games - Square's PlayStation Compilations (PlayStation, 1999, 2001)
Towards the end of the 16-bit generation, the price of Square's 16-bit RPGs began to increase exponentially. Basically, if you didn't get in on the ground floor with SNES JRPGs, the only other option was to scour eBay and end up paying 100-plus dollars for a copy of Chrono Trigger that may or may not have a working battery. Square decided to rectify this issue with a series of anthologies that brought its classics to a platform whose audience definitely had an appreciation of their work: the PlayStation. Unfortunately, these sloppy ports added certain problems that never existed in the originals; Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, and Chrono Trigger were now plagued by loading times, slowdown, and other technical issues, which made the typically slow pace of the JRPG even slower. Square tried to make up for these flaws by providing some pretty FMV and marginally interesting bonus features, but those looking to play the games of the company's past found themselves better off sticking to the ethically questionable world of emulation -- at least, until Square stepped up their game a bit with their Game Boy Advance ports.
The Greatest Collection which Later Became the Worst - Super Mario All-Stars (Super Nintendo, 1993)
Many gamers were introduced to the world of gaming remakes and compilations with Super Mario All-Stars, an amazing anthology which collected the first three Mario games, along with the Japanese-only sequel to the original. Though most of us had already played these things to death, the prospect of reliving such great experiences in a much prettier format made this collection difficult to pass up. Fast forward 17 years later, and Super Mario All-Stars once again hits retail, and in a collector's edition at that. So, how did Nintendo change their originals to celebrate Mario's 25th? Sadly, their main mascot only saw the same 1993 SNES ROM slapped on a Wii disc and sold in an overpriced package -- and without the addition of Super Mario World that would eventually be included in All-Stars SNES bundles! Today, Mario All-Stars still rocks, but as a tribute to a quarter-century of goomba-stomping, it underwhelms.
Hardest-to-find Work of Greatness - Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii, 2009)
Nintendo really dropped the ball with their New Play Control series for the Wii, which brought GameCube games to their new system in a widescreen format, with Wii-mote compatibility to boot. While these new editions made perfect sense, some of the omissions didn't: what of hits like Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? Typical for these sorts of re-releases, Nintendo bundled the individual Japanese Metroid Prime 1 and 2 editions along with 3 and sold them together as Metroid Prime Trilogy, which snuck into retailers towards the end of August 2009. I use the word "snuck" because MPT had a conspicuously low print run; finding a copy in the wild proves difficult, and eBay prices often reach 100 dollars. A shame, considering that Metroid awareness seems to be at an all-time low of late -- maybe Nintendo tried to push the FPS genre from gamers' mind in preparation for Other M? Whatever the case, Metroid fans have much fonder memories of Retro Studio's take on the franchise than anything involving "The Baby."

the Metal Gear: Peacewalker was a vast improvment from the PSP version. I really want the 360 disc. ^_^
The "ethically questionable world of emulation"? Lesson time...Posted: May 18, 2012 12:00AM PST by IncreasinglyDisgruntled
I accept it was probably just an off-the-cuff attempt to throw in some intelligent sounding prose but referring to emulation as "ethically questionable" demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of at least one of those words, or possibly all of them. Are you perhaps conflating "emulation" with "piracy"? If so then I urge you to refer to a dictionary or alternatively there's always that "internet" thing that everyone keeps talking about.
If you would be so kind, I would like to bore you with an anecdote. Amongst my substantial assortment of old computers are three Amigas (500, 500+, 1200), the pride of my collection. I was an Amiga loyalist for many years between the late 80s and mid 90s and amassed many hundreds of games, in fact they very probably top the thousand mark. Every single one was either bought by me, bought for me, or provided free in a fully legal manner (magazine cover-disks mostly but a fair bit of public domain as well).
I'm quite paranoid about damaging the machines but I do occasionally fire one up, marvel at how far ahead of its time the Workbench O/S was, then oh-so delicately slide in a game and enjoy some true old-school nostalgia. However, many of my disks are over 20 years old and, funnily enough, 3.5" magnetic disks tend to get a little bit unreliable when they hit the two decade mark (two years was closer to their average lifespan without the utmost commitment to safe handling). However, with a maximum capacity of 700KB per disk (3.5" double density, half the capacity of the standard 1.44MB 3.5" high density), theoretically it would be possible to fit my entire catalog of disks onto a $10 memory card and it wouldn't even be half full. It also wouldn't degrade, it wouldn't corrupt the data whenever it got within 6 inches of a magnet and it would fit in my pocket instead of my entire spare room - I'm talking disk cases floor to ceiling (bear in mind some games spanned 10 or more disks, so for ~1000 games plus apps/backups/saves you're looking at maybe 5000 disks, all in hard plastic cases of 100 disks).
So you know what? That's exactly what I did - I took my legally owned disks, converted each and every one to an ADF disk image (legally and legitimately, using software provided by the machine's own O/S) and now I never have to worry about losing my prized software collection for my favourite computer of all time. I hope none of this is coming across as "ethically questionable", if so then now is probably the time to consult that dictionary.
Great, so I now have my ~1000 Amiga games safe and sound on a memory card. Sometimes I expand one to some of the few working 3.5"DD disks I have left, but needless to say that's somewhat time-consuming and destined to have a limited shelf life (tried to buy DD disks lately? Good luck). So I generally use WinUAE, an open-source Amiga emulator for Windows. The original incarnation of Commodore (creator of the Amiga) has been defunct since 1994 and the Commodore/Amiga IP has gone through various acquisitions and re-acquisitions since then. However, as far as I'm aware and despite various patent disputes with other parties along the way, no IP owner present or past has ever tried to target the UAE project with claims that it infringes any of their patents or protected assets. Indeed, the development timeline of the latest Amiga O/S strongly indicates that the UAE/WinUAE projects have been a major boon, giving the Amiga a second wind and providing asset owners with an improved opportunity to further the brand and move forwards with the development of the new Amiga O/S. This O/S is currently being shipped on various machines the world over.
So, this is the point at which I'm keen to understand why you choose to tar me and others like me as "ethically questionable". I can't imagine it was all those games I bought with my own money because that's what we refer to as "purchasing goods". I can't imagine it was the conversion of those games to ADF because that's what we call "using a standard function of the legally owned operating system". I can't imagine it was putting them onto a memory card because that's what we call "storing data". I can't imagine it was emulating the disk images via WinUAE because that's what we call "running legally owned software on a legally created platform". I must confess I'm a little confused; or, more likely, you are.
Ohhhhh, hang on a minute... you know what, I think I may have just solved this little misunderstanding! Of course... because a certain limited fraternity of people use emulation as a means of running software they don't legally own, you've simply applied the standard journalistic doctrine of extending that concept to anyone who emulates anything in any context! Oh my, when the penny finally drops it makes you wonder how you could have missed it for so long doesn't it? I do apologise, it was a foolish mistake on my part; I'm no stranger to hack journalism, this is the internet after all, but it just didn't hit me until the eleventh hour. One of those days I guess. Well, I think we've gotten to the bottom of this particular conundrum, sorry for wasting your time and thank you for your admirable adherence to the sensibilities of internet journalism.
Best regards!

"ethically questionable world of emulation" - WTF?!Posted: Apr 29, 2012 12:00AM PST by BlueTrain
how about the ethically questionable world of preservation? yuck! let's burn down the museums, future generations can go to hell. Games ain't meant to be played, they're meant to be bought! (again and again)
Seriously, there is a lot of asshattery going on in and around videogames. But emulation? It's a good thing.
collectionsPosted: Apr 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by messmann25
i love the mario all star collection i still play it on mys SNES every once in a while, and i was a big fan of the Sly cooper one, since it was one of my favorite PS2 games and i was never able to get around to getting the next two games, and im looking foward to the DMC collection, though i think they may be starting to go into overdrive on the re-release bundles
Points of contentionPosted: Apr 11, 2012 12:00AM PST by Jotaku
Let's see:
GCN Mega Man Collections control button swap was a pain, but as I found out while saving up to buy a cheap controller for a friend to "adjust", a week or two and you got used to it. Switching on the fly from the reversed controls back to a standard controlling game usually took a few minutes, but it is mostly stupid because it happened, not because it is this terrible thing that cannot be overcome. Plus this version had a sweet special on Mega Man in general, instead of an episode of the western Mega Man cartoon. Of course, the 360 version has both bonus videos and the "correct" control scheme: a definite feather in its cap.
As for Metroid Prime Trilogy, blame the idiots not looking for it. I worked at a Target when it released... and even when it went on sale we couldn't sell out! Fans just weren't paying attention and missed out, and sadly it is their own fault. If you weren't aware of this either you were living under a rock (and probably don't have any video game system), you were careless, or okay, some people might have had serious, real life issues to deal with.
Megaman 7 endingPosted: Apr 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by raidramon0
Oh, one more thing; they forgot the fact that the ending scene for Megaman 7 was totally butchered. I'd buy the SNES original if it wasn't so bloody expensive. Ah well. We can hope it's released on the Wii Virtual Console.
Ninja Gaiden TrilogyPosted: Apr 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by raidramon0
Remember this 'gem' for the SNES? 3 games on one SNES cart might sound tempting, but they lacked the fading effects of the NES orginals (which dumbed down the challenge on one level) and the music was just god-awful. The only improvement was that it fixed the finite continue issue with Ninja Gaiden 3 and included a password system.
Oh yeahPosted: Apr 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by VeryMadMage
The Taito and Capcom arcade collections for PS2 are pretty damn amazing.

But you forgot the amazing Lucas Arts collections that had like all of their adventure games for pretty cheap. The Metal Gear HD collection really impressed. 50 bucks for three amazing games all redone in HD. Not to mention the MSX games. Plus, Peace Walker is now playable.

Sega Ages CollectionPosted: Apr 08, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hubiquitous
The Japan-only Sega Ages series for the PS2 are some of the best game compilations to ever be released. My favorite being Monster World Complete Collection, where the integrity of all six games in the series is faithfully retained. The best news about this particular import title is that it will be out for digital distribution later this year for the 360 & (possibly) the PS3!
Sonic collectionsPosted: Apr 08, 2012 12:00AM PST by Captain_Gonru
A few posters mentioned the Sonic Mega Collection, but no one brought up the Sonic Gems Collection for GC. Sonic CD alone is worth the purchase.
And though they were preorder bonuses, where are the Legend of Zelda discs? Both NES Zeldas, AND both N64 games on one disc!
yupPosted: Apr 09, 2012 12:00AM PST by Arrow2thaFace
Sonic Mega Collection was my favorite. such an awesome package. Also the sega 6 pack was pretty awesome back in the genesis days, and so is the Wily Wars.
The MGS collection is as good as advertised..Posted: Apr 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by colinmccarthy16
...some significant visual improvements, enhanced online capabilities, tons of bonus content, and they didn't do anything to change the games or create any technical issues like some other collections do. All gain, no pain.
I played the hell out of it even though I had beaten all of the games repeatedly on other platforms.

HYPER STREET FIGHTER II: The Anniversary Edition on this list.
No online, just sheer value:
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior -- Street Fighter II': Champion Edition -- Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting -- Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers -- Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge
What does that mean? Only EVERY character from EVERY iteration of Street Fighter II can duke it out right here... ( e.g. Purple-gi "Turbo" Ken vs. Shinkuu-Hadoken "X" Ryu ). This one runs lightning fast with no load times whatsoever and puts HD Remix to shame. It also proves Capcom can be generous to fans when they feel like it (that is, hardly ever) ...
Oh, and that is not all! You also get Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Fight For The Future and Street Fighter II: The Animation (The very well-made anime movie) , not some live-action garbage.
The PS2 version of the game should be fairly cheap and easy to come by nowadays. I would humbly suggest getting the japanese version if you can play those because you'll be able to listen to the original voice actors and there just might be less cuts (aka censorship) . However, you will not be getting Third Strike (only the american version includes it, the japanese one doesn't) . But that's what we have Third Strike: Online Edition for...
The Metroid Prime TrilogyPosted: Apr 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac
was a "limited edition." There was no "standard edition," just the limited one. I guess I can understand why people surprised that it was made in such limited quantities, if only because it's kind of a dumb move on Nintendo's part. Putting three nearly perfect games together on one disc is amazing value, and it'd probably fly off the shelves for people who never owned a GameCube. And since at least two of those games are basically out of print, I don't think you need to worry about eating into your own profit. Still, Metroid was never that big a franchise (compared to some others), so perhaps they thought the only people who would buy MPT were people who loved Metroid already, like me.
Give me a break...Posted: Apr 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Brolific
The Silent Hill collection isn't that bad. All those complaints about technical issues are so overexaggerated, it's not even cool. Yes, there are some issues, but they're so minor that I barely noticed them. And some of them I wouldn't have noticed at all if they weren't brought up. SH2 is just as enjoyable in HD as it was on the PS2.

the other example of how to do it right.
thought of Metal Slug Anthology while reading this too... that was definitely not a rip off, even if everything after 3, post-Playmore is a little recycled-feeling. 1, 2, X & 3 on a single disc was already a bargain.

I hadn't heard too much about the Silent Hill HD Collection and that link saved me from playing that inferior version. Instead of Gameflying it i'll just pick up an Xbox or PS2 version. The fog, water, audio, etc. just looked and sounded terrible in comparison to the original videos. Thanks!
Also, we had the Metroid Trilogy in Gamestop for a while for 79.99. I thought the price was ridiculous, as did most customers....then I looked it up online and it was selling for 120! Talk about rare!

MP TrilogyPosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by ngamer-90
Has to be the holy grail of the games on the Wii. Glad I got my copy when it released, and the Collector's Edition too, it has to be my most valuable game on my game collection. NPC could of used more games, like Pikmin 2 which was only for Japan, Super Mario Sunshine and Windwaker. Though for WW would be on the same page as Twilight Princess' Wii controls. I also think Sonic Gems Collection is worth mentioning, only for the fact that it was the only viable way of playing Sonic CD last gen, that and Sonic the Fighters. The Mario All-Stars Collection would of been perfect if it had included Super Mario World, you needed to add perfection to the collection.
LuckyPosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by Saint_Saturn
I had my eyes on MPT when it was released, but didn't have the cash at the time for it. When I finally did have the cash for games again, the $100 price point kept me away. Now I'm wondering if I'll ever get around to getting this forgotten gem. Playing the original Metroid Prime with Prime 3's controls just sounds too sweet to miss.
@Bob MackeyPosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hunterman328
I almost bought Silent Hill the other day, but was waiting for a review. I'm glad you put a link to a review in the article, but why is it that 1UP has been so lacking in reviews lately? This used to be the only gaming site I went to, but lately for reviews I've been having to look stuff up other places. Hopefully they'll be returning.
You guys could always try to get Shoe back. Them's was the good ole days, back when 1UP was virtual EGM. I'm worried Parish is spending to much time working on his self-built Chipophone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pchpDD5EU
Don't get me wrong, I still love the site, but if the ratio of reviews to editorials were flipped it'd be much better (to me at least.)
I agreePosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by rpggurrl
You are right, I haven't been seeing too many reviews either. Maybe I haven't been looking in all the right places? Silent hill the original was awesome and creepy and now I want it. I also wish nintendo would put out super mario allstars or just maybe the first three for DLC on all consoles. how cool would that be? My son sold his Wii behind my back that I paid $350 for when it first came out. If he was not 10 and not my son, I would have punched him in the face. But since he's my kid I just had to leave the house and scream at the sky "Why God?" and hope someday he has a kid that he buys stuff for and they just erroniously do whatever they want behind HIS back.
well..Posted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by Glassjaw_Matt
I think because they are now connected to IGN, they are spread out doing other projects. IGN has been super spot on for reviews and I've noticed that 1up will be days late with their reviews.
Sonic Mega CollectionPosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by kingsharkboi
I got that for gamecube, even though later they came out with some Plus version for PS2 or something i forgot. Oh well the GC version was good enough. Got me some good memories and introduced me to Ristar! a hidden gem! Also, the Sonic and Knuckles Collection on PC featured Sonic 3, Sonic & K, and the combination of the 2. Though really there was no reason to play the non-combined versions when you had the S3&K at the ready.
Also, I might add that the Square collections on Playstation...FF chronicles and FF anthology, weren't too bad. Actually I think the only painful release was the FF chronicles because Chrono Trigger and FFIV had terrible loading. But FF anthology had much shorter loading times that didn't seem so plain obvious. Oh well I prefer FFVi on a big screen over a handheld port anyway. That game demands one's full attention on the couch, not taken anywhere else where distractions may occur.
,,,Posted: Apr 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...I found the PS! Chrono Trigger to be unplayable for the loading times. As far as Anthology went, the only real gripe I had with FF5 and FF6 was the slight hit the sound quality took. Other than that, I was pleased with Anthology, especially snce FF5 isn't easy to come by otherwise.
maybe just me...Posted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by BlueMeanie
I know I'm in the low percentage...But I actually like Metroid: Other M! I thought it was a good action game and the story was decent. AND I have Metroid Prime Trilogy! 3 GREAT Games! I'm glad I got my copy when I did
Most bang for the buck, period...Posted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by milkman_v1
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Pretty much $1 per game and 90% of them don't suck? Sonic, Phantasy Star, Streets of Rage, Ecco, Vectorman, and Shinobi 3?!
YeahPosted: Apr 06, 2012 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac

Wow; The Silent Hill Case is Beautiful!Posted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by almostautumn
Haven't bothered reading or even looking into that collection, but that case is worth the cost if ya' ask me! I want a poster, at least.
And I don't have anything to add. Collections are just not my thing, seeing as I've been around long enough to have played the games getting collected. I did love the Super Mario All-Stars SNES game though, and still am chipping away at Lost Levels to this day.

controls for the Mega Man Collection aren't a big deal for the first 3 games, once the charge shot is introduced though, is goes to hell. And forces you to whip out the dreaded claw.

My personal favoritePosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by turkish101
was Sonic Mega Collection (Gamecube) and later, the upgraded Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2/XB). Really solid stuff.
The Sega Genesis Collection (PS2/PSP) is pretty solid, but Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3/360) is by far the most accomplished (50+ games, great presentation) retro collection around, especially for the price.
Also, I never really had such a big problem with FF Anthology/Chronicles, and I had even owned the original FFIII (VI) at that point. But maybe I was just young and far too used to loading times by that point that it didn't bother me.
In any case, they aren't terrible ports if you can get over the loading times.
Title of CommentPosted: Apr 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by roto13
Sonic Mega Collection was SO good. Seriously.
I was not a fan of Ultimate Genesis Collection, though. Too many emulation hiccups (the sound of that battle ship in the first level of Sonic 3 made my ears bleed) and the lack of lock on for Sonic & Knuckles was inexcusable. Blame Backbone. Incompetent every time.
FFVI Load TimesPosted: Apr 07, 2012 12:00AM PST by gutsdozier
The load times in FFVI are really obnoxious if you're doing the raft loop, or any other form of grinding. But when you're making actual progress in the game, it's hardly noticeable.
Sonic JamPosted: Apr 08, 2012 12:00AM PST by Hubiquitous
for the Sega Saturn uses the Sonic & Knuckles lock on feature for all three Sonic titles, but oddly omitted Sonic CD from the collection even though both the opening and ending animated sequences were viewable through the theatre section.

What GCN Mega Man Collection did was unforgivable.

The International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) will invest $100 million to globally expand its data-driven capabilities and consulting strategy. The investment will combine IBM's digital marketing agency with other related businesses, including data analytics and experience design.
"We have seen growing client demand globally in the marketplace around experience capabilities and the front office transformation," says Shannon Miller, global strategy leader for IBM Interactive Experience. "We wanted to expand our reach to create labs around the world so we can meet this demand, and can collaborate and co-create with clients to develop innovative solutions."
The worldwide effort aims to help clients create personalized models of engagement through data and design. To achieve this, IBM will hire 1,000 employees and open 10 new IBM Interactive Experience labs, a concept the company launched in January of this year, in a range of key commercial and financial hubs, including Bangalore, Beijing, Groningen, London, Melbourne, Mexico City, New York, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Each new lab will enable IBM's clients to work closely with local experts in mobile, digital marketing, and experience design.
Data analytics also plays a pivotal role in IBM's global expansion. While the company's designers help clients develop mobile-driven experiences, IBM researchers and data scientists will create quality engagement for clients by harnessing the value of data.
"Mobile, social, analytics, and cloud technologies are disrupting the way companies traditionally work and interact with consumers. Likewise, existing business models are being challenged in this new digital, data-driven world. And the expectation for personalized engagement is increasing," Miller tells ClickZ.
"The ability to create quality engagement and experiences is based on data – and specifically the insight that companies can harness from data," Miller adds.
Along with the new facilities, IBM also released new data-driven capabilities from IBM Interactive Experience – the consulting arm that was created in January – including, intelligent customer profiles, influence analysis, and customer identity resolution. These are hoped to provide deeper insights into individuals and transform the way customers experience their products, services and brands. The addition of the new innovations will add to the existing data-driven portfolio including life event detection, behavioral pricing, and psycholinguistic analytics.
IBM currently owns four labs, in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Toronto.

The University of Worcester Storytelling Festival for Children - October 2015
Now in its tenth year, the Festival has grown into one of the largest children's events in the area.
The Beeline Storytelling Festival for Children is organised by the University of Worcester. Now in its tenth year, the festival has grown and is now one of the largest children's events in the region. The Beeline Festival is a celebration of stories and storytelling which we believe to be one of the central elements to children's learning, creativity and fun.
During last year's festival we worked with over 3000 children from schools across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, who worked with some of the UK's finest authors, illustrators, storytellers, puppeteers and performers.
As in previous years, the majority of Beeline Festival events are aimed at schools. However, following the successes of previous years 'family programme' at The Hive, we have increased the number of public events including four days of activities during half term. We very much hope that you enjoy this year's Festival.
