Dirty Hilton Rotterdam
Dirty and shabby old fashioned rooms. Staff were quite rude (surprisingly for the Dutch). They also charged me twice for the room and were shocked that I amde a fuss and demanded the money to be refunded. Never again will I stay in a Hilton.
Extremely Disappointed - Not worthy of it's Star Rating
I stayed at The Hilton in Rotterdam last Saturday and I have to say how extremely disappointed I was.
The Hotel is extremely dated and whilst I understand the difficulties with the exterior there is simply no excuse for the shabby appearance internally. Our room was clean and the bathroom was quite nice but the remainder of the room was in serious need of refurbishment. This applied even more to the breakfast room which looked as if nothing had been done to it for about 25 years!
I was surprised that the Hotel had only two lifts (one of which wasn't working when we arrived on Saturday afternoon) and on Sunday we waited for over 5 minutes for a lift as they were all full as they passed our floor.
The Breakfast was a complete shambols. We were not shown to a table and when we arrived a woman simply told us to "sit at a table for two if you can find one". The fruit juice was in need of replenishment and there were no plates on the buffet table. I had to find a waitress and ask for plates and then when they were eventually brought out several of the dished on the hot buffet menu were empty and some of what was there had gone cold. We waited half an hour to for someone to offer us tea and coffee and there were clearly not enough staff on duty deal with the amount of people in the restaurant. I feel that this is quite unacceptable. It may be that there was a particular reason as to why the restaurant was so busy but your management should be aware of the situation and deal with it accordingly. There were no managers to be seen in the vicinity.
All in all I was extremely disappointed. I have always had good experiences at Hilton Hotels and feel very let down on this occasion. The Hotel is clearly not worthy of it's Star Rating!
Rotterdam hilton good value for money
hi guys
i am from london and travel every year to rotterdam carnival in july
I usually travel with a group of people and we use this hotel all the time
good points
excellent room rates have not changed at all since we have been going to the carnival for the last 4 years !
rooms are spacious and lovley bathrooms and amenities
massive beds!
buffett breakfast good choice of the usual bacon eggs pancakes etc...
friendly staff
excellent location 10 mins walk from central station and good shopping areas
Bad points
not bad as such but the hotel could do with upgrading its public areas as very outdated 70s style
lifts have to wait far to long to get up and down and as hotel has about 10 floors whos using the stairs!!! hahaahah
apart from that i wopuld recommend to everyone looking for value for money
but not fancy so if you want luxury try the westin a 5 min walk away
rates are higher but hotel is a higher grade !
Nice room, fine location
Considering I got a weekend offer at a considerably reduced price, price/value was quite satisfactory. Wouldn't have said the same if I had to pay the regular room price. Room was ok and well cleaned, so was the bathroom, and the beds were good, but all in all really nothing above the ordinary. The prices in the room minibar was just simply a rip-off, and the internet service for the guests was below par: bureaucratic, cumbersome and far too expensive for somebody just wanting to spend a few minutes checking their mail. There was a web hookup for a pc in the room, but most people still don't travel around with a personal pc on their vacation!
What did you do to my handbag??!!
My name is Maria de Lurdes and I'm from Portugal. Last Summer I went to Netherlands and I chose this hotel because I had lots of good references about it. It was unbelievable what happened to me!!!!
I was at the breakfast lounge, at the hotel, and I confidently left my handbang by the table, I went away from my place to go to the buffet.
I feel sorry to say that when I came back my handbag HAD BEEN STOLEN, yes, this happened INSIDE THE HOTEL.
I immediately reported this fact to the front desk and some hours later, after watching the security video, the hotel manager concluded that two aliens, obviously NOT GUESTS, easily sneaked inside the breakfast lounge, and no security stopped them.
More than a year after I still wait from the hotel the explanations and the compensation that they owe me.
This was a very sad chapter to me and to all my family and I can't understand I could this happen inside this "great" hotel.
Quite disappointing for a Hilton
We were impressed by the good prices and ease of use the Hilton website offered, so when we turned up to the hotel, which hasn't been decorated since it appeared to have been built as some kind of homage to the Trump Tower (badly) in the 80s, we were pretty disappointed. The hotel is in bad need of some kind of renovation - even a few lights in the lobby would be a start. The rooms are no better, scuff marks on the walls and doors, cheap looking furniture badly in need of repair or replacement etc. I'm sure that it got it's 4 stars with ease when they awarded them in the 80s, but they wouldn't get them today.
On the plus side the buffet breakfast was varied, and better than some we have seen on recent stays at other hotels. We're not sure it really lived up to the claims made by other tripadvisor users but it was good. Just make sure the breakfast is included in the price as apparently paying for a full price deluxe room doesn't always get you breakfast. Paying a highly discounted room rate does, full price is another matter!
Also beware of the late checkout mentioned on the Hilton site on certain deals because in this hotel late checkout is the same as normal checkout! HBO and ESPN are also not offered in this hotel despite being listed as features on the Hilton site.
All in all a disapppointing experience and we left feeling a little ripped off.
Bland, but OK
I have stayed here regularly on business over the last few months.
The building looks uninviting, and the decor is dated and rather tired.
However, the location is good, the staff are courteous and the service is efficient. The rooms are fine, bathrooms are quite nice.
Room service food is OK, and the buffet breakfasts are great.
It is just a bit soulless - a typical business hotel.
I would agree that the Westin is better, but then it is quite a bit more expensive, plus the Hilton has a better selection of English TV channels !
Trying to be more than it can be
First of all, if you can try and stay at the Westin. Everyone I spoke to raved about it. It wasn't possible for me this trip as it was sold out becasue the Film Festival was on and I can sort of see why. When I checked in at the Hilton I asked for a quiet room and was assured I was getting the best room available. It was on the 5th floor and had a noisy mini-fridge which I immediately unplugged once I saw the outrageous prices they wanted for a bottle of water and the air conditioner had a rattle in it. That took longer to unplug but I made sure someone came up and closed it dow.The good news was that the windows opened and I really didn't need the heater on as the temperatures were rather pleeasant. The bed was great and comfy and the bathroom was okay though it had seen better days. The bad news is that my room faced a line of bars or discos that were open until 6am and attracted a lot of car traffic honking horns and playing loud music. Now to be fair one didn't hear them as much when the windows were closed, however it meant sleeping in a virtually airless room. My rate at 139 Euros included tax but not the city tax of 6.50 (which I feel is misleading as they quoted me a rate that was tax inclusive-I argued it at checkout to no avail) and it also included breakfast. This is where the Hilton earned some badly needed points with me. The buffet is very varied and has everything you could possibly imagine. Once done with breakfast it was very easy to skip lunch entirely. The lobby also doubles as a restaurant and looking at the menu I was shocked to see how VERY expensive it was. Out of sight as a matter of fact. Also I asked the front desk about Internet access and was told it was 5Euros for fifteen minutes or 9Euros for 30...etc in their 2 PC business centre. Highway robbery. When I asked about an Internet cafe in the area I got a disingenuous reply of having to go to Kinkos' up the street which is four blocks away...etc. One of the guests overheard the conversation and immediately directed me to an Easy Internet Access shop with 100 PC's that is part of a Subway Sandwich place. It was literally around the corner where the charge was 1 Euro per HOUR!!! Needless to say that is where everyone went to. Would I stay at the Hilton again? Definitely not. I would hold out for the Westin or the New York Hotel which is a little farther out but has great character and, which by the way, is a terrfic place to go and have dinner. It has a huge brasserie with good food, reasonable prices and attracts the artists,movers and shakers of the city. Apparently the guest rooms are great fun as well as no two are the same and very comfortable. The hotel overlooks the water which would be an added bonus.
Luxury in Rotterdam
Stayed at the Hilton in October 2004 and was very satisfied.
The rooms were nice with a large bed and lots of pillows, the bathrooms was clean, had a large tub and a radio. New towels every day and slippers and bathrug for free use.
Beakfast was excellent with whatever you can imagine. Great location.
Great hotel in a wonderful city
Stayed here June 04 in an executive room. It was brand new and very spacious. The hotel is located right next to the shopping area and most of the cloths are around 40% cheaper than London. They don't have a restaurant but we had an excellent dinner in the the bar. The lobby has an interesting 70's feel about it but it works. Rotterdam is a definate must if you are going to Holland. I highly recommend the Euromast although if you are scared of hights like me you will be trembling when the cabin gets to the top. The zoo with its new aquarium and the boat cruises through the docks were really nice.

Rebecca Menes ("Lee") is a PhD economic historian with a background in business as the proprietor of The Vintage Cookie. Rebecca is also the homeschooling mom of a wonderful eight-year old, and she lives on Lee Street in historic Alexandria, Virginia.
Elizabeth and Rebecca grew up touring the Eastern United States with The Dragon Marionettes puppet company. They have worked on theatrical scripts, props and costumes since their teensy fingers could hold pens, hammers and needles.
Rebecca and Elizabeth – Lee & Pearl – would love to make sure other children have as much fun with imaginative play as they remember having.
"OMG! It's like a sewing lesson ... the construction details in this one are spectacular."
That's what one of our pattern testers had to say about this pattern. And we love it too!
When a member of our design team spotted a 1943 doll trousseau collection in a bin of old patterns, we knew immediately how we were going to commemorate original American Girl Molly's upcoming retirement. We don't like to think of it as retiring anyway, but rather moving on to bigger and better things. 18 inch doll Molly has been stuck wearing 8-11 year old girl outfits since 1986. They're marvelous outfits, sure - but isn't it possible that behind those gray eyes, Miss McIntire has been dreaming of her first truly stylish, big-girl suit?
Here's an outfit in which Molly can face whatever challenge comes next: our interpretation of that 1943 pattern's post-wedding "waving goodbye" outfit, including a suit jacket with curved front seams, blouson back and lapel facing; an A-line skirt with waistband, rear closure and inverse front pleat; a fitted slip with French seams and an internal yoke lining; and a close-fitting hat with tailored bow trim, internal facing and an optional full lining.
What's more, though the four pieces in this pattern make a wonderful 1940s ensemble, they can also be split up as vintage-inspired elements in any modern 18" girl's wardrobe, as our pictures show.

One of the great benefits of playing sports is that it teaches accountability. There's no hiding when you overthrow first or miss a block or brick a free throw. You have to take responsibility for actions that don't turn out well, just as you accept praise for the ones that succeed.
It would be nice if every young person had the opportunity to absorb those lessons, and nice if every college student who wanted to take part in a sport was encouraged and supported by his or her school.
That's not reality, though, and it's certainly not the reality faced by Temple and every other college and university in this country right now. It was a hard decision for Temple to drop seven sports programs, a decision announced last week, even if the school has been at least partially responsible for putting itself in that bind.

KCTCS Certificates are available in Phlebotomy and Physicians Office Laboratory and can be earned in the first and second semesters of the program.
Medical Laboratory Technicians are an essential part of the health care team. They perform laboratory tests critical to the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of disease processes. If you like laboratory testing, this program is for you. It leads to jobs in health care or research in all kinds of fields. You must be dedicated, skilled, and self-motivated.
You collect patient samples and conduct tests in blood banking, chemistry, hematology, microbiology, serology, and urinalysis. You learn lab theory and lab practice and use these skills to help doctors analyze diseases. Check the academic plan for a list of courses you will take.
MLT requires an aptitude for science. The potential student must also possess the desire to serve others and demonstrate the highest degree of integrity, honesty, confidentiality, and responsibility.
The pass rate on the national MLT(ASCP) certification exam, which all graduates of the MLT program at Henderson Community College are eligible to take, for the past three years is 89%. The graduation rate for students entering the second year of this program is 100% for the past three years. The graduate job placement rate in a related field for the past three years is 90% (data from fall 2011 through spring 2015).
MLTs work in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, research facilities, public health centers, veterinary offices, colleges, industry, and the armed forces. Graduates may transfer their credits toward a bachelor's degree in Medical Technology (Clinical Laboratory Sciences).

As the few remaining tickets to this week's Women to Celebrate event disappear, I wanted to say a few words about why I believe this event is so important.
The first Women to Celebrate event was organized last year by Project NIA to honor women who Mariame Kaba referred to as "unsung heroines" in our city's social justice communities. When I was informed that I was an honoree, I felt as uncertain about my place in the whole affair as many of this year's honorees do. Like many of them, I had never given thought to awards or recognition of this kind, and felt certain that many women were more deserving than myself.

As the world is further immersed in social and digital media, the rulers of the United Arab Emirates have become more aggressive in arresting and deporting people for expressing their opinions, as one of the victims of this crackdown, I have learnt how freedom of expression is recently categorised as a crime and threat to the country. The halo effects of the Arab Spring have definitely shaken UAE rulers who previously had taken a less antagonising approach compared to their GCC neighbours but still essentially were always mindful of the powers of sustaining the repressive stance that always has existed.
Although Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu in his speech to Congress painted Iran as a threat to peace, he left out important details concerning the relationship between Iran and the West. There is considerably more to the story.
The uncomfortable fact is that, by any fair measure, Iran has been more sinned against than sinning. To explain, we will need to dip into what George Orwell called the "Memory Hole" and review the momentous events of the 1940s and 1950s as well as their far-reaching consequences.
In this second post assessing the track record of the Affordable Care Act five years after its enactment, we now look at its impact on containment of health care costs and affordability of care, two of its principal goals. In the last post, we noted that up to 11 million Americans have gained access to care though the exchanges, but pointed out the many limits to these numbers; the Obama administration now claims that an additional 10 million have been enrolled in Medicaid or the CHIP children's health program since the start of the ACA.
Salem, Oregon – Oregon created a bold new 21st century standard for voter registration. The state legislature approved a bill to streamline registration at the DMV by replacing a paper-based system with a new process in which voters are added to the rolls electronically.
The Brennan Center for Justice applauds the legislature, Gov. Kate Brown, and civic groups for their efforts to make voting more accessible by passing this groundbreaking reform, which builds on our signature Voter Registration Modernization proposal.
Part I - The Delusional Leader
On March 3, 2015, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came before the US Congress and once again painted a false picture of Iran and its ambitions. His vision was both apocalyptic and simplistic: the state of Iran is evil and the source of most of the aggression and terrorism in the Middle East; it is eternally hostile to the West and it aims at the destruction of Israel; the West, with the United States leading the way, must stop this evil regime before it gains the capacity to use nuclear weapons.
He has been saying this for at least 25 years, and, like the false prophecies predicting the end of the world, the alleged catastrophe never seems to occur. Iran never seems to come up with a nuclear bomb. However, Netanyahu never stops predicting it.
Brasilia, Brazil - This week, imprisoned executives from one of Brazil's largest construction firms – who are implicated in an unprecedented corruption scandal involving the parastatal oil company Petrobras – promised to expose a parallel scheme of massive fraud surrounding hydroelectric dams in the Amazon. In a plea deal with the Federal Public Prosecutors' Office (MPF), top executives at Camargo Corrêa – a principal contractor for Petrobras and the federal government's Amazon dam-building program – vowed to provide details of systematic corruption in the construction of the costly Belo Monte and Jirau megadams.
In a normal world, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of the US Congress would have been roundly mocked by the audience for its hypocritical fear mongering. In a normal world, 70 years beyond Hiroshima, major powers would have long since acceded to the wishes of their constituents and established far more extensive arms reduction treaties. In a normal world, there would be a single, not a double, standard challenging the undiluted evil of nuclear weapons, no matter who possesses them. That single standard would underpin not only a regional but also a planet-wide effort at nuclear disarmament. And in a normal world, a foreign leader would not have been handed the most prestigious possible venue to undermine delicate, complex negotiations merely to allow him to score political points in two countries simultaneously.
Wars may be how Americans learn geography, but do they always learn the history of how the geography was shaped by wars? I've just read Syria: A History of the Last Hundred Yearsby John McHugo. It's very heavy on the wars, which is always a problem with how we tell history, since it convinces people that war is normal. But it also makes clear that war wasn't always normal in Syria.
Syria was shaped by and remains to this day outraged by the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement (in which Britain and France divided up things that didn't belong to either of them), the 1917 Balfour Declaration (in which Britain promised Zionists land it didn't own known as Palestine or Southern Syria), and the 1920 San Remo Conference at which Britain, France, Italy, and Japan used rather arbitrary lines to create the French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon, the British Mandate of Palestine (including Jordan), and the British Mandate of Iraq.

The gigantic Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota spawned two student-friendly business districts: Stadium Village, where chain eateries alternate with authentic Chinese places and a couple of venerable bars; and Dinkytown, where Bob Dylan got his start in a long-gone caf� called the Ten O'clock Scholar, and which still maintains a countercultural vibe, thanks to coffee houses, Asian restaurants, a pair of classic campus-style used-and-rare bookstores, and the Varsity, a movie-theater-turned-ultrahip-rock-venue. The once-dowdy Marcy-Holmes district, which borders the Northeast neighborhood, has been remade in the last decade into a mecca for creative retail and new restaurants.

- Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are JRPG's
Purification 4 years ago#1
Firstly, the story presentation. The story is given to the player in a minimalist approach where the player has to piece together the story from items and minor pieces of dialogue. This is exactly a how the SMT series (which are JRPG) do things, they leave the story to the player and allow him/her to have his/her own interpretation of what happened and what's going on.
Next, the design...most of the bosses in both games are not anything I would see in WRPG's. I mean, look at Ornstein and Smough. They look very similar to SMT demon designs. And, most of the other bosses (ex. Four Kings, Fool's Idol) are bosses I would expect to see in the FF series. A lot of the armor and boss designs are quite outrageous looking and what I would see in JRPG's like FF.
Next, the music. Alright, Demon's Souls has music that's more WRPG'ish but there's quite a few themes, like Astraea's theme and Fool's Idol theme that sound as if they were taken right out of JRPG's. Dark Souls, especially the Ornstein/Smough theme, and the final boss theme....sound quite similar to the compositions by Shoji Meguro.
You could also argue that the action gameplay is WRPG but there are many JRPG games that also use an action approach, like the Tales series. Especially the stat building....in most WRPG's I've played, the stat building rarely grips me like it does in some of the JRPG's I've played. The character building in the souls games is quite reminiscent of older JRPG's from previous generations (ex. SNES).
Finally, my last argument for why Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are JRPG's is because I finished them. Now before some flames me on this, let me explain. I like WRPG's and JRPG's but for the most part, I have never finished a WRPG. I've played ALOT of WRPG's (ranging from older titles like Fallout and Baldur's Gate, to recent games like Witcher, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, etc). Even if I get hooked onto them for some time, I have never made it to the end of a WRPG. In contrast, I finish almost 90% of all JRPG I play.
When I first played Demon's Souls, I was looking for a new WRPG to play and one of my friends recommended me it.....so I played it, and after I beat the Phalanx, the first thing I noticed was how it didn't feel like a WRPG to me...so I looked up the developer and lo and behold, it was a Japanese company. I've never finished a WRPG before, so if these are WRPG's...then I guess Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are the greatest WRPG ever, since they're the only ones I've managed to finish.

I'm not arguing that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls aren't JRPGs, but that defining a genre from what region it was made is stupid. If you break down the category of RPG by the type of combat, Dark Souls has more in common with many "western" RPGs which are action RPGs and have dynamic combat. Most "JRPGs" would be tactical RPGs which use turn-based combat and focus on party over controlling just the individual.

I don't understand why people keep trying to force games into one genre or another like this. These categories are completely arbitrary, and some games will never be completely described by a single classification. There's no reason not to allow some flexibility.

you just want them to say that it came from western ideas and that japan should praise us.
maybe western games making "ninja" should praise japan then.. ..
come on any country should be able to make any type of games, if the game came from russia and they used RPG style then so be it, your creating barriers just to get a honorable mention? come on give japan some praise they made a lot of great games and plus sony gives free online gaming.

We should never have started using the term "Role Playing Game". If the definition was going to become as broad and all encompassing as it has. We should have just called them "Statistically Managed Adventure Games" so it could be a subheading of "Adventure" and then we wouldn't have this stupid argument.
As a side note, SMAG is a pretty great acronym, don't you think?

PeptiDream entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to identify macrocyclic peptides as potential drug candidates for disease targets being pursued by Lilly. PeptiDream will leverage its Peptide Discovery Platform System (PDPS) technology for translational synthesis, selection, and screening of nonstandard macrocyclic peptides, and Lilly will be responsible for any subsequent research and development as pharmaceutical candidates.
As part of the agreement, PeptiDream will receive an undisclosed upfront payment, research funding, and milestone payments upon the successful achievement of certain development milestones. PeptiDream is also eligible to receive royalties on future sales of products that arise from the collaboration.
This is not the first pharma giant PeptiDream has collaborated with this year. In September, the company agreed to nonexclusively license its PDPS technology to Bristol-Myers Squibb in addition to extending a nearly three-year-old macrocyclic peptide drug discovery alliance.

- Uncharted is the most overrated series on the PS3
wolf rider 3 years ago#1
I rented the first game and didnt like it. I saw the U1+2 pack on sale and decided to give the series another go. Played U1 again and it was just as bad as I remembered it. I was told U2 was much better so I tried that as well. Turns out U2 still had the same fundamental flaws as U1, but was better looking.
There are just so many glaring issues with the gameplay that I dont know how some people are saying U2 is one of the best games on the PS3.
First of all, the good stuff: the writing is great, easily some of the best in video games. I dont think anyone denies this. The environments in U2 look amazing, especially the Nepal stage, and the music that went with it was also very beautiful.
However, its what happens in between each story cutscene and Drake punch line thats the problem.
Firstly, the platforming. Its so damn repetitive. Its the same few ledge climbing/shuffling/dropping/jumping manoeuvres over and over and over again FOR ABOUT A BILLION LEDGES. Its not even challenging. Theres barely any thought involved beyond locating the next protruding discoloured brick. Sure, occasionally there are some hard to spot areas but for the vast majority of the time Im just holding the left stick in the required direction and pressing jump when required.
Then there are the shooting segments. Oh God the shooting segments. Waves upon waves of enemies pop out of nowhere and swarm you from all directions. Your guns spray like crazy. Your shots seem to do barely any damage at all. When you do manage to hit an enemy they seemingly enter this Agent Smith-like dodging state to avoid further damage.
Who designed the shooting mechanics and what were they trying to achieve!? If the bullet spray was designed to make the gunfights feel realistic, then why isnt the damage and amount of enemies realistic as well to balance it out and maintain consistency? Why is an assault rifle less accurate than a 9mm? Why does it take over a dozen rounds from a MG nest to kill one foot soldier? If they were going for cinematic action then why make it so hard to hit and kill the seemingly endless legion of grunts to begin with?
It takes half a clip to kill an enemy, multiplied by four to five enemies per wave, multiplied by three to four waves per area, multiplied by three to four areas per chapter, multiplied by 20-ish chapters.

wolf rider (Topic Creator)3 years ago#2
Even the cover mechanics are clumsy. If Im hiding behind cover, and I aim at an enemy to my side or behind me, why does Nate STAND UP TO SHOOT and get himself shot by the enemies in front in the process? I already have clear line of sight to my side and rear from a crouching position! Its lazy programming, plain and simple. Not to mention all the times you end up hiding behind the wrong wall when you press the triangle button.
How does a third-person cover shooter get the covering and shooting mechanics so wrong?
There are some exciting action set pieces, but they are overshadowed by all the mediocre shooting and platforming segments before and after them. And the sheer amount of it is just tiring. Oh look, another locked/blocked/collapsed/out of reach door/ladder/platform. Its pretty clear that Naughty Dog was padding out the gameplay.
I wont bother mentioning the HORRENDOUS jet ski chapters from the first game.
From playing about twenty hours between the two games, Ive come to realise something: one does not enjoy the gameplay in-between story cutscenes. One endures the gameplay in order to get to the next story cutscene. Remove the cutscenes and you have a mediocre third-person shooter/platformer at best.
If I took Indiana Jones in <insert your favourite Indie movie here>, turned it into a game, broke it into twenty segments, and inserted repetitive platforming and frustrating shooting sections in between each segment, would that make a good game? No. It would make a repetitive and frustrating game with high production values and a cinematic feel. Thats what Uncharted 1 and 2 are.
And even the writing becomes predictable. You know a witticism is coming because thats all Drake ever does.
If I had to allocate a score out of 10 for the series in general, I cant bring myself to give it more than a 7.5/10. I dont believe gameplay should ever take a backseat to being cinematic. Objectively speaking, theres just no way a series with the fundamental gameplay problems mentioned above is worth all the 9/10s, 10/10s, GOTY and GOAT accolades it receives.
I honestly have no issue with people liking the Uncharted series. What irks me, is that by raising a decent game to stratospheric heights, its just encouraging more developers to abandon gameplay in favour of something thats not gameplay.

I agree. The game play is nothing special or new, the stories are plain bad and the characters are annoying. Graphics are pretty good but that doesn't mean much really.
Most of the time I'm riding bicycles and on a lot of Colombian marching powder and coffee, forgive me if I act like an #%$hole. Or not, IDC.

"Your right hand comes off?"
Because you do not enjoy the game mechanics does not mean it's overrated. it just means that for you it is overrated but I guess all the people who praise the game are wrong in your eyes.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own.
not even gonna bother reading all of that. So I will say Gears of war and Halo are over rated. In every way.

It isn't that I need to keep up with the crowd – or that such a device would make me feel like less of a dinosaur around the teenagers and pre-teenagers who inhabit my house. The main advantage I see is avoiding the clutter.
I have never really gotten on well with the technical details of music listening. Even in the old days, when the sounds came on big, flat, fragile hunks of vinyl that everyone knew required dutiful maintenance, I took risks with my collection that would make the audiophiles crackle and sputter. I never could relate to the obsessive steps that record collectors would go to protect their investments – tiny bottles of cleaning fluid, little wooden cleaning tools lined with dust-catching anti-lint fabric. Long lines of alphabetized records. The little tool rested on a little tool holder. Before you played a record, you placed the record on the turntable, started the turntable spinning, lifted the little tool, placed cleaning fluid on the fabric strip attached to the little tool, and gently pressed the fabric to the vinyl of the turning disk, lightly catching any dust that might have fallen in the grooves. We would watch the host enact this ritual as we sat around the stereo, on couches and pillows, waiting for the album to play. It was probably some crude approximation of the act of watching the host prepare a primitive campfire or, more recently, watching the host prepare and serve tea cups at tea time. Then we would all listen together.
The people who took the time for these rituals always had the best record collections – of course, because they cared the most. I respected their energy and commitment to their records, but it wasn't really my thing. I am encouraged by this idea of placing all my music on a single electronic device so I never have to mess with the task of organizing the locations of CDs and CD cases.
And since I'm getting a storage device, why not get something as tiny as possible, so I can bring it with me wherever I go and listen to it through all the phases of my existence? That's actually the part that worries me most about this brave new situation. Of course, I'm not the first old guy to wonder whether all these teenagers will fall down the stairs or cause traffic accidents as they lumber around the sidewalks, walking the iPod zombie walk. But I wonder whether we really have a replacement for music as a communal act.
My son, who is a music student in college, recently brought home a thought he had heard from one of his teachers: Rather than learning to listen to music, people today must train themselves not to listen to music. Music is all around us, in our car, in the elevator, in the restaurant, in the grocery store, and instead of working on listening to it more closely, we work on the habit of listening less closely, so that we can still participate in the rest of our lives.
This whole new approach to the primordial human experience of listening to music was brought to us not because there was any particular reason to do it, but because it was thrown in for free with these new technologies – starting with the Sony Walkman back in the 1980s – that made it possible.
I'm sure the naysayers made the same complaints about the radio, the tape deck, and every other technology that has arrived in the past 200 years, so I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm not necessarily wrong about this, either.
Sure, I would love an MP3 player – for the home, maybe a big clunky one that stays in one place and looks like a 1930s era radio. As for this business of riding the bus and boating on the lake, I'm liking silence. I'll stay unplugged for now.

I cast my lot to be a remington 700 action.
January 10, 2006, 03:16 AM
Kinda depends on the purpose of your custom rifle, imo. It also depends on how much $$$ you want to blow.
January 10, 2006, 08:05 AM
I picked the Winchester Model 70 simply because that's what I like and have my custom rifles built on. However, from a gunsmith's point of view, the Remington Model 700 is easier to work on.
January 10, 2006, 09:32 AM
Of those listed I picked the 98. My list would of included the '09 Argentinian tho.
January 10, 2006, 10:20 AM
Really depends on the use. If you decide to go with a Remington 700-type, look at Jerry Stiller's new Predator model. Essentially identical to the 700, with better quality control - no need for truing, etc. You can find him at benchrest.com.
Now, that's assuming it's a hunting rifle. If you're looking for a varmint gun, I'd probably go with a Kelbly Grizzly II action, and if you're looking for long range, I'd probably pick a McMillan...
January 10, 2006, 10:48 AM
I picked the '98 because that was the basis for my last custom rifle. A sweet little 7 X 57 built on a Nazi 1942 DOT (CZ) action sitting in an Australian walnut stock with a left handed cheek piece.
My other custom rifle built by Dan Dowling is a Remington 700 action with a Schneider SS barrel in .340 Weatherby.
Which one is "best"? They both are.
January 10, 2006, 11:17 AM
1917 Enfield.
Brian Williams
January 10, 2006, 12:15 PM
I voted Mod 70 Win. I would like Daly Mini-mauser in 6.5 Grendel.
January 10, 2006, 12:46 PM
I voted for the Remington 700 over the Mauser or CZ because of it's faster lock time.
I thought the CZ was a Mauser action, it sure looks like it.
January 11, 2006, 01:04 AM
So what is the best mauser action?
January 11, 2006, 01:30 AM
No love for sako?
January 11, 2006, 01:06 PM
Depends on the intended purpose of the rifle, but I would put Surgeon (http://www.surgeonrifles.com/) near the top of the list.

I'm thinking my dovetail lugged Husqvarna 30-06 would like to wear a nice 6.5x55 tube and a nice classic stock with bedding block. Someday.
January 12, 2006, 01:49 AM
What's the intended use for the rifle? I think Nesika Bay builds the best action money can buy, unfortunately - it takes a lot of money to buy one.
January 12, 2006, 02:11 AM
Remmy 700 offers the most options....but I don't consider it the best at least not best if you factor in cost/ease.
The Savage 10/12 is a better choice, at least it was for me as a do-it-yourselfer. For one, Savage is cheaper, has a better trigger from the factory, and changing calibers and barrels can be done in 15 minutes with 2 cheap tools, which is a tremendous advantage over nearly every other bolt action out there.
My custom 12 cost less than most stock 700's, which it will outshoot and is exactly how I want it. I don't have $800 in the entire rig, and it's a 1/4 MOA gun if I'm on my game.
Sir Aardvark
January 12, 2006, 02:56 AM
First, look what is available in the aftermarket, such as triggers, barrels, and stocks.
If you peruse the pages of Brownell's you will notice that the majority of offerings are for the Remington 700 and Mauser M98. I can tell you from personal experience that the Browning A-Bolt is not well supported by the aftermarket industry.
What it all boils down to is how much $$$ you are willing to pony up for your project.
January 12, 2006, 11:17 AM
im having the itch to pick up another beatup mosin and sporterize it, dunno why, maybe because the availability of the intial rifle and the price has something to do with it, the surplus ammo too is the same way, just my 2 cents
i have fallen in love with a damned russian wwii rifle, who would have thought that :)
Essex County
January 12, 2006, 11:33 AM
I voted M70. Had to give this a little thought as a 98 Mauser came in a very close second. For a varmit rifle I would give the 700 some consideration........ Essex County
January 12, 2006, 04:16 PM
I had a rifle built on a Remington 721 action, which I'd assume is pretty close to a 700, and it shoots just fine...
January 12, 2006, 05:19 PM
Havent modified mine at all, but a Swiss K-31 would probly work out well ,with the staright-pull action and it's legendary accuracy. All at the cost of a unique $90 milsurp gun.
January 12, 2006, 10:44 PM
While I own a mauser, my vote goes to remington. Remington has lots of readily available aftermarket parts, readily available ammo, and superb accuracy. Mausers on the other hand are very sturdy, but obviously they are not tack drivers.
January 13, 2006, 12:39 PM
I'm using a Chuck Daly 98 Mauser action for my .338-06 AI project.
John Deere
January 13, 2006, 10:35 PM
The ultimate liteweight Mauser action is the G-33/40, but good luck trying to find one. If you want to go first class, get a 98/29 Persian mauser barreled action from Samco. These are breathtakeingly beautiful, and wonderfully strong. Close behind the 98/29 is the Vz.24, if you get one that`s in good shape. K-98k`s make great rifles, but the latter the year, the lesser the fit and finish. The `09 Argentinian`s are sweet, but I wouldn`t use one for a high pressure round, I`ve been told some are a little soft for magnums. Regards
January 14, 2006, 04:02 AM
It depends. Personally - if I were building my idea of the ultimate hunting rifle, I would take a LH Winchester M70 action.
For an UL rifle, I'd pick a LH Short Action Remington M700.
Charles S
January 14, 2006, 01:22 PM
I agree with Buzz.
It depends.
If I am building my ultimate Alaskan Hunting Rifle I am going to use a Stainless Winchester Model 70 action.
If I am going to build my ultimate lightweight carry rifle I am going to build it on a Remington 700 action.
For a precession long range rifle on a budget a Remington 700 Short Action would be hard to beat. I have also had excellent luck with the Remington 600 action.
For a little more money build it on the Remington model 40X action.
Money being no object build it on a Nesika action.
A rifle is a tool and the action I base it on depends upon the function of the finished project rifle.

ATLANTIC CITY'S 12 casinos won't know until Wednesday afternoon at the earliest when they will reopen in the wake of being forced to shut down over the weekend by Hurricane Sandy.
"We certainly think it's prudent" to delay the decision to reopen, said Tony Rodio, chief exec for Tropicana Atlantic City and president of the Casino Association of New Jersey. "We feel the state has a lot more , so we felt it was prudent to take another 24 hours to reassess the situation."
Rodio's remarks followed a conference call with state gaming regulators.
Because of Sandy's scope, it remains to be seen what kind of business the city's already beleaguered gambling industry will do once the doors reopen.
