Three Hot Girls For The Old Man
When I asked a few of the girls if they wanted a night out with the old bastard Thena Sky, Alison Rapture and Alison's girlfriend, Abigail Blower all jumped at the chance. After dinner and the club, we ended up back at my place and we got right down to the fun stuff. We had all been teasing and having fun all night so we were ready. Everyone that's followed us on Glass Mannequin knows that Thena has been a regular for years and she's one of my best friends in the world – she's also one of the best fucks I've ever had. Alison always has a unmarred attitude and a happy smile and probably the sexiest pussy in Colorado and she brought her girlfriend Abigail with – who not only loves pussy – this babe can suck a erection.

Playful Teens Fuck On Sofa
Many people confess that they would like to be teens again. These teens do not agree with them because they always have to think something really crazy in order to make sex. They have to be very careful and to hide their games from their parents.

Me And A Friend Pounding The Same Snatch
I don't do too many bbg clips on Glass Mannequin – not because I don't like sharing a little muffy once in a while but mostly because most guys can't keep up or get intimidated when the old bastard shows them up – lol. Actually my dude Sabin had been checking out my current squeeze for a while and when he found her at the corner store he decided it was his chance to get himself a little muffy. Where he fucked up was bringing the hussy back to my place and trying to use my hot tub – so I just figured it was my "right" to join in.
And this tattooed young mom is one of the best cocksuckers I've ever known so having her slobber all over my erection was impeccable – even if my best dude was behind her sleazy ass stuffing his 9? erection as deep in her wet little cunt as possible. I call that a stuffed hussy! See it all on Glass Mannequin or click on the pic of her getting stuffed to enjoy a few free three-some smut videos.
Of course – fucking in the hot tub can kill an old man so I talked the kids into moving into the living room where we had a little more room to carry on our debauchery. And from the look of the pics – Blaze likes the long erection in her pussy and the fat erection in her mouth….. But damn – this chick can suck erection!
To see the entire shoot, join Glass Mannequin today – I'll even throw in free access to my other two sites so that you can watch every perverted shoot our sexy Blaze Burnz has ever made.
Aerynn Black Lesbo Sex With Josie Joe
Sexy goth teen Aerynn Black was feeling mischievous and decided to visit her friend Josie Joe for a little round of hot carpet-muncher sex. The babes had been fuck-buddies for some time and both would stop by on occasion for a phat ass call and often shoot it to put on Glass Mannequin or Real Colorado Girls, girl next door porno sites that feature tons of mischievous carpet-muncher babes fucking for the camera. Of course, not everyone can love kissing and fucking their babe as much as these two mischievous carpet-muncher teens do but what they hell – that makes it more fun to watch.
Now that we've established that these mischievous teen like to kiss, let's take a look at one of the photograph from the lesbian video. In this picture, the two tattooed goth teens are kissing in front of the living room window. Of course, it doesn't take long for the two lesbos do do more than kiss each other….
Soon Aerynn had Josie's face buried in her crotch and her flawless carpet-muncher phat ass pushed up in the air. Aerynn's flawless perky breasts with their pieced nipples bounced as her girlfriend licked her shaved cunt. Moaning in pleasure the brunette teen arched her back and shuttered in pleasure as she reached orgasm – again the babes kissed then Aerynn pealed Josie's panties off and returned the favor by running her tongue up her thigh and then deep into her wet teen cunt – then up to her clitoris where she licked the puffy bud while stuffing one, then two fingers deep into Aerynn's tight little cunt.
Aerynn's stomach flexed as she arched her back and felt her girlfriends warm tongue dart back and forth on her now engorged, tingeing clitoris. Her kegel muscles flexed, squeezing Josie's fingers tighter as The skinny tattooed teen thrust them deeper into her girlfriend's now dripping snatch. Aerynn moaned again and held her breath as her friend thrust ther fingers deep into her pulsating cunt. Holding her breath, Aerynn climaxed in waves then collapsed on the couch in ecstasy.

Rancher Cliven Bundy and his sons are to be charged over the headline-grabbing 2014 standoff in Nevada where militiamen pointed guns at cops and forced them into a humiliating public retreat.
They were already charged in connection to the recent Oregon Wildlife Refuge takeover marshaled by the son, Ammon Bundy, which ended after a monthlong siege and the death of one of the occupiers.
The indictment stems from what federal officials have described as the "massive armed assault'' by Cliven Bundy and his co-defendants against federal law enforcement officers who tried to corral about 400 cattle near the Bundy Ranch.They're accused of planning, organizing and leading the 2014 assault and recruiting hundreds of others in an armed force to thwart the seizure and removal of Cliven Bundy's cattle from public lands. It accuses the elder Bundy of trespassing on the public lands for more than 20 years, refusing to get the legally required permits or pay the required fees to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to keep and graze his cattle on the land.
The charges include conspiracy, assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal officer, obstructing justice, and extortion. Read the rest
The FBI has released footage that shows militiaman LaVoy Finicum's death at the hands of law enforcement officers manning a roadblock.
In the video, Finicum's vehicle tries to evade the block only to plunge into a roadside snowbank after narrowly missing one of the officers manning it. He jumps out the car with his hands up, but keeps moving and reaches into his pocket. Someone shoots him and he falls to the snow.
The 8-minute version is above. The confrontation begins at about 5:30m. They also published a longer tape of the event. The moment when Finicum is shot is embedded below.
One one hand, his movements seem more confused than aggressive. On the other hand, he's an armed man, running around and reaching for his pockets after almost mowing a guy down at a roadblock. He did not have his hands in the air when he was shot (as at least one witness claimed) but he didn't have his piece out, either.

Unsurprisingly, the occupied Malheur Wildlife Refuge buildings contain over 4000 native artifacts, belonging to the Burns Paiute tribe. The militant rebels are not making the native Americans feel good about their occupation, and apparently call the natives "savages."
The Burns Paiute Tribe is rightly demanding the United States live up to treaty obligations, and prosecute any damages to their artifacts and archaeological resources.
Via ICMNT:
Occupation leader Ammon Bundy, from Arizona and son of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher involved in a standoff with the federal government over copy million in unpaid grazing fees on public land, has offered to meet with the tribe but the tribe says he has no right to hold their history hostage and have refused to grant him even the appearance of such authority by meeting with him.Read the rest
"Some of the members of the community were open to them," Roderique says, "when they first came but now the county chained and locked everything up and said no you can't have your meeting in town."
Harney County officials have stated they will not allow the militants to use any county-owned building for fear of more takeovers of public property.
"They tried to ask us for our gathering center and our facility was booked up. We just kind of laughed and said they want to use our 'savage' facilities?"
Roderique was referencing a "Harney County Committee of Safety" website made by supporters of the takeover who profess to exist "to secure the property and lives of the association members from threats from the savages."

The idea of Lana Del Rey at the Mann Center's hilltop Skyline Stage on Sunday sounded divine. What could be lovelier than Del Rey's distantly cool but captivating contralto and her torchy music's cinematic atmospheres, performed against a spring night's starry sky?
Before a largely female crowd fond of floral circlets, Del Rey (resplendent in winged eyeliner) and her small yet mighty ensemble offered both mesmerizing hits (her career-kicking "Video Games," of course) and new fare ("West Coast"). If the latter was any indication of her as-yet-unscheduled album, Ultraviolence, expect haunting, aggressive music and understated vocals that draw the listener into her world with each breath.

Port privatization, efficiency and competitiveness: Some empirical evidence from container ports (terminals)
Few studies have investigated the quantitative relationship between port ownership structure and port efficiency with mixed results. This study applies a stochastic frontier model proposed by Battese and Coelli [Battese, G.E., Coelli, T.J., 1995. A model for technique inefficiency effects in a stochastic frontier production function for panel data. Empirical Economics 20, 325-332], which incorporates the inefficiency effect, to show whether port privatization is a necessary strategy for ports to gain a competitive advantage. While this stochastic frontier model has been used to a wide number of industries where the technical inefficiency effect is required, this method has rarely been employed to port industry. This study also investigates the determinants of port competitiveness. Both the principal component analysis (PCA) and the linear regression model are used to examine the effects of identified key factors on port competitiveness. Based on a sample of selected container terminals around the world, the results of this study have shown that private sector participation in the port industry to some extent can improve port operation efficiency, which will in turn increase port competitiveness. Another important determinant of port competitiveness is the adaptability to the customers' demand. All these results provide some policy implications and guidance for port authorities and port operators in formulating effective strategies to improve their competitiveness vis-a-vis rivals.

Broccoli and Rice Soup
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 50 mins
My husband asked me to make him something relatively mild for his stomach. He was coming off a cleans and didn't want to upset his stomach too much right off the bat. I thought soup should do the trick. He loved it. Hope you do as well. Note: I used Great Valley Rice Medley from Costco
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup rice, medley
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 large head broccoli, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 cups vegetable stock
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Cook rice medley as per package directions until just done.
- About 30 minutes.
- Do not drain.
- In a large soup pot, on medium heat, melt butter with oil.
- Add carrot/onion and saute until onion is tender.
- Add garlic and saute until just fragrant.
- Add broccoli and also saute for 5 minutes.
- Add stock and rice with liquid.
- Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This is wonderful. I'd love it at any time of year but after all of the Christmas richness it's a double delight. I used a red rice medley that added a great touch of color as well as a lot of texture. There is a whole lot of eye appeal and taste to enjoy with this recipe.
As we have an onion allergy, we used a vegetable stock containing no onion and also did not add the extra garlic although it would be a welcome addition if on hand. This recipe was simple and worked well for a mild recipe on the tummy.
DD and DD liked this one. I did use homemade chicken stock (Betty Crocker Recipe) and it made more than stated. I may make this again.

MSO shows audience the power of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody'
Umpteen airline commercials and soundtrack appearances haven't dimmed the splendor of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Few orchestral works are both so stirring and so much fun at the same time, as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and pianist Stephen Beus proved Friday night at the Marcus Center's Uihlein Hall.
Conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong and the players brought a playful swagger to the rhapsody, beginning with Todd Levy's take on its famed clarinet opening. Levy played exquisitely, and with a lively facial animation that would have been at home on a '20s bandstand. »Read Full Article(1)

In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article

AUSTIN (AP) - State hospitals are starting to ban smoking on their property, drawing complaints from advocates who contend the rights of the mentally ill are being infringed upon.
People with psychiatric disorders are twice as likely to smoke as others, according to studies cited by the advocates.
North Texas State Hospital campuses in Wichita Falls and Vernon have banned smoking on their grounds by patients or employees. The state hospitals in San Antonio and Rusk are poised to do the same in September.
Five state-run mental health facilities, including Austin State Hospital, are considering banning smoking, the Austin American-Statesman reported Monday.
"If you go to a hospital, you can get out and smoke a cigarette, if you're able to get up and walk yourself outside," said Beth Mitchell, a senior lawyer with Advocacy Inc., a federally funded watchdog for people with disabilities.
"Why should it be any different for someone in a mental health facility?" she said.
The state's psychiatric wards used to hand out tobacco and rolling paper to patients. Later, pre-made generic cigarettes were a staple paid for by Texas taxpayers.
The subsidized smoking continued until the late 1980s in the name of nicotine therapy.
"In group therapy, everybody was smoking ... It was almost like breathing," said Jerry McLane, a spokesman for North Texas State Hospital and an employee there for 25 years.
McLane said psychiatric hospitals now are simply including their patients in the seismic shift in national culture, as restaurants and other public buildings have banned smoking.
Fears for the health of the smokers themselves also led to the ban, begun more than two years ago at North Texas State Hospital, he said.
But some say it's inappropriate to tell a patient who has a mental illness he or she can't smoke, even outdoors.
"It may be a bad habit, but people would get a lot crazier if they couldn't get a cigarette," said Christina Magee, 21, a patient at Austin State Hospital who has smoking privileges.
Some patients aren't allowed to smoke because of the severity of their disorders. Others can't leave the facility to buy a pack and don't have family members who bring them smokes. They swarm around Magee, with requests that she give or buy a pack for them.
Petitions in protest of the proposed ban have been circulating at the hospital, and passions are stoked.
Cassandra Davidson, 46, a non-smoker who arrived at the Austin hospital last Wednesday, opposes smoking on the premises.
"The smoke is so heavy, you can't wash it off at night. (In the patio area), the butts just cover the ground. It's very nasty. It's a right, but I'm still against it," she said.
Scientists have no definitive answers. Some assert that smoking is a soothing crutch for people with mental illnesses. Others say it interferes with their psychiatric medications.
"Smoking increases the metabolism," said Dr. Karen Lasser, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health. "The body gets rid of the drug sooner and washes it out. You have to take higher doses, and that may mean side effects."
Medical research aside, the question is simpler for some, including state Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, who has bipolar disorder and started smoking when he was in a psychiatric hospital.
"One of the things that keeps people saner is they have for themselves that pleasure, whether we consider it to be bad or good," he said.

ATLANTIC CITY - Within hours of announcing he would run for a third term as Atlantic City's mayor, Lorenzo Langford on Wednesday was again embroiled in a long-distance altercation with Gov. Christie, who said the resort's leader has "no idea what he's doing" and runs the "most God-awful, wasteful" municipal government in the nation.
Langford, 57, a Democrat who four years ago vowed that he had made his last run for mayor, fired back via e-mail that Christie's record as governor is "one of hypocrisy."
Langford did not return calls for direct comment.
In a speech to party faithful Tuesday night, Langford said he changed his mind after Hurricanes Irene and Sandy pummeled the region. He said he also was upset about the Christie administration's creation of a state-run tourism district three years ago in a deal that allowed the Division of Community Affairs to monitor Atlantic City's spending.

The Vikings aren't bringing Peterson back on his current $18 million salary
Sunday's scheduled game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Carolina Panthers starts on time after Charlotte officials institute increased security amid protesting in the city.
Sunday's scheduled game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Carolina Panthers will be played, league sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

For the first time in his five-year NFL career, Ronnie Hillman will be playing his home games outside of the Mile High City after the Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms with the veteran running back Wednesday...
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Adrian Peterson will undergo surgery on his right knee to repair a torn meniscus and Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says the star running back could return this season.
Adrian Peterson left U.S. Bank Stadium on crutches with a torn meniscus. Sam Bradford was seen shaking his left hand in pain for much of the game.

[Hey, You!] It Takes a Big Ass to Know One
You were the lovely gentleman in the silver car on Harbor Boulevard who decided to yell at me while hanging outside your passenger window that my "fat ass was going to break that bike seat" as I was minding my own business on a relaxing ride. I'm very glad that such an obviously intellectual individual felt the need to grace me with his incredibly intelligent observation. I understand that it must be terribly difficult to be hung like a Tic Tac and be utterly unable to please a man, much less a woman, with such a pathetic excuse for an instrument. However, I regret to inform you that my ass may be voluptuous, but it is in no way fat. Excuse me for being of Latin descent and thus curvy, and perhaps I'll consider excusing you for being an ignorant swine. Next time you contemplate putting down any individual without reason, consider looking in the mirror first at the ludicrous and despicable excuse for a human being you are and see you have no room to do so. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evenings smoking pot in your mother's basement. I'm sure they won't cease to be anything but eventful. And also feel free to burn in hell. Thanks again for the shout-out!

EASTBOURNE, England -- Martina Navratilova was back doing what she loved -- playing singles, serving and volleying on grass, and winning.
In her first tour singles match in eight years, Navratilova beat Tatiana Panova of Russia 6-1, 4-6, 6-2 Tuesday at Eastbourne, a Wimbledon warmup tournament she won 11 times when she was the best in the world.
The victory made her the oldest woman ever to win a WTA match. Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon champion, is 45. Panova is 25.
Navratilova displayed the serve-and-volley game that made her one of the greatest grasscourt players in history.
''It was fun,'' she said. ''It's always more fun when you win. That's the whole point why I'm here, playing doubles and now playing singles. ... I didn't really expect anything. I expected to have a good time and to do the best I could and see what that's good for.''
Navratilova said people shouldn't consider her victory over one of today's top players (Panova is ranked No. 22) as a sign of weakness in the women's game.
''That would really make me mad, because when Michael Jordan comes back he still makes an All-Star team and plays well because he's great,'' she said. ''And I can still play this game and certainly I can still play it on grass. So don't look at the age, look at the ability.''
Navratilova will next face 19-year-old Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia in the second round.
Navratilova won 167 singles and 166 doubles titles in her glittering career, including three Australian Opens, two French Opens and four U.S Opens.
The Czech-born U.S citizen came out of retirement in 2000 to play doubles and last month won the doubles title with Natasha Zvereva at the Madrid Open.
Tuesday marked her first singles match since losing to Gabriela Sabatini in the first round of the season-ending Championships in November 1994.
Navratilova took a late singles wild card into Eastbourne after losing a bet with her personal trainer, Giseille Tirado.
''She said that I was playing well enough to play singles, and that if Natasha Zvereva and I won Madrid then I had to play singles,'' Navratilova said. ''We won, so here I am. But this is a one-off. That's the plan, definitely.''
At Wimbledon, she is entered only in doubles, with Zvereva her partner.
Things didn't start well for Navratilova, who double faulted twice to lose serve in the opening game. But a nervous-looking Panova then proceeded to lose the next six games with a series of errors.
Panova settled down in the second set, breaking serve to lead 2-0 with a winning pass and exploiting Navratilova's net-rushing tactics. Navratilova made a number of simple volley errors, including an easy backhand into the net at set point.
But Navratilova rallied patiently from the baseline in the final set, working her way into the net to put away her volleys. She held a break point in the first and third games of the set before forcing Panova to put a two-handed backhand wide to earn a break for 3-2.
That breakthrough appeared to deflate Panova. Navratilova broke again for 5-2 and served out the match. She raised her arms in triumph when Panova slapped a backhand into the net to end the contest.
In other matches, unseeded Anna Kournikova lost 7-6 (4), 3-6, 1-6 to Rita Grande of Italy. Grande will now face American Meghann Shaughnessy, who beat Canadian qualifier Vanessa Webb 6-7 (2), 7-6 (8), 7-6 (4).
No. 7 Patty Schnyder of Switzerland lost to Anastasia Myskina of Russia, 6-4, 6-4.
Hewitt beats Chang to reach second round of Ordina Open
DEN BOSCH, Netherlands -- Top-seed Lleyton Hewitt outlasted Michael Chang 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) in the first round of the Ordina Open.
No. 5 seed Nicolas Escude had a similar match in ousting unseeded Flavio Saretta 7-6 (3), 7-6 (1), third-seeded Guillermo Canas beat Julian Knowle 6-2, 7-5, and Cedric Pioline advanced when Neville Godwin retired because of an injury while trailing 5-4 in the first set.
In the women's event, top seed Kim Clijsters reached the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Andrea Glass, and Amelie Mauresmo won her first-round match over Angeles Montolio 6-3, 7-5.
Other seeds to advance were No. 5 Magdalena Maleeva, who beat Martina Muller 6-4, 6-2, and seventh-seeded Adrianna Serra Zanetti, who eliminated Maja Matevzic 7-6 (3), 6-4.
Bjorkman upsets top seed Roddick at Nottingham
NOTTINGHAM, England -- Top-seeded Andy Roddick injured his leg slightly during a first-round loss to Jonas Bjorkman at the Samsung Open.
Bjorkman, a former Nottingham champion, won 7-5, 7-5 just hours after being drawn to face top-seeded Lleyton Hewitt in the first round of Wimbledon.
Roddick was limping after his match but said his left leg was not badly injured. He had it taped just below the knee during the match.
Roddick, who is seeded No. 11 for Wimbledon, lost in the first round of the French Open last month to Wayne Arthurs.
In other matches, second-seeded Fabrice Santoro of France beat Alexandre Simoni of Brazil, 6-1, 6-4; and fifth-seeded Stefan Koubek of Austria defeated Albert Portas of Spain 7-6 (7), 6-4.
Denmark's Kristian Pless moved into the second round when opponent Markus Hipfl of Austria retired injured after losing the opening set 6-0.

There are many things to love about the game of soccer.
From the amazing players, to the great managers to the fantastic results produced on the field, there's a lot to choose from.
However, there's also a not so glamorous side of the sport that many adore around the world. A side that not too many like to talk about.
It's a side that includes the embarrassment of scoring an own goal, tripping on your shoe or maybe even that overpriced flop that takes up half of your favorite club's payroll without paying their end of the bargain.
But the most notorious of them all has got to be the face shot.
Here are 10 of the worst face shots of all time.

Dr. Barron Nason has not been board-certified in emergency medicine since 2008, his spokesman confirmed Friday, despite at least one recent television commercial claiming that he was.
"In 2008 he elected not to renew his board certification since he was no longer seeing patients in a hospital setting," spokesman Kent Bosworth said in a prepared statement.
Instead, Nason completed 371 hours of continuing medical education (CME) through Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Bosworth said. He has not earned any credit since May 2013.
"While CME is a good thing, it's not board certification," a spokeswoman for the American Board of Medical Specialties said. "They are not the same thing at all."
The last television commercial claiming all Nason Medical Center physicians were "board certified in emergency medicine" was pulled from the air in May. Bosworth acknowledged that the commercial was incorrect because Nason was not board certified in emergency medicine at the time.
Another commercial and the company's website still boast that Nason Medical Center physicians are board-certified but do not specify that they are board-certified in emergency medicine. The ads violate a policy established by the S.C. Board of Medical Examiners, which mandates "if advertising as board-certified, a physician must specify which ... board(s) they are certified by."
"In general, if a licensee isn't board certified through ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) or another organization recognized by the S.C. Board of Medical Examiners, the licensee cannot hold himself/herself out to be certified," said Lesia Kudelka, a spokeswoman for the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
Nason maintains a license in good standing to practice medicine in South Carolina - a requirement for all practicing doctors.
Board certification is not mandatory. Even so, experts consider it an indication of quality. Physicians who are board certified in a speciality, such as internal medicine or dermatology, must pay fees to an accrediting board - usually the American Board of Medical Specialties - and take routine exams. These tests are commonly called "boards."
Most hospitals require their doctors to maintain board certification.
Nason did not immediately respond to messages left Friday.
The urgent care company is currently under federal investigation. Details about the case have not been made public, although Nason confirmed that all five Lowcountry centers were ordered to discontinue the use of CT scans and ultrasounds earlier this year.
In a separate case, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control mandated that Nason Medical Centers remove the word "emergency" from their buildings in May because the signs confused patients who needed immediate treatment at a hospital.

You're reading an E3 2009 preview, which we've broken into three sections to make it easy to sift through during this week of convention madness. Check out E3.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our E3 2009 coverage.
What's new for E3? Showing up in English after Ignition announced its plans to publish it, Muramasa makes an impressive showpiece at E3. The playable demo had you choose between Kisuke or Momohime, each with their own stages to run through and bosses to fight at the end.
What's our take? It's gorgeous, of course, thanks to Vanillaware's mastery of the 2D form, but it plays well, too. Although it's a somewhat traditional side-scrolling action game, most of the action in Muramasa feels like a one-on-one fighting game. Combat centers around the "A" button, which functions as a basic slash move, a block/parry when held, split-second counterattacks, and more. There are extra wrinkles like downward slashes, super moves with the "B" button, and an interesting mechanic where your weapons can break, but after switching to a new one, it immediately performs a special attack that deals extra damage. How convenient!
Wailing on enemies with a flurry of slashes is pretty easy after learning the basics, and almost always looks impressive -- even if you're not entirely sure of what you're doing other than making mincemeat of enemies. Vanillaware's RPGs were relatively slow-paced, but Muramasa proves they can do fast action that feels familiar, but never looks ugly.
