We needed a space to visit friends in the area. EZ access for big rigs into pull through sites. There are no major highways but the secondary roads are very good. Sort of a barebones CG. Sites are level dirt and fairly close to each other. Picnic tables and fire rings. E and S fine. Water pressure is a little weak. Free Wifi is fine. Newfound Lake is across the street. Some of the sites that we assume are for seasonals are very nice, spacious, and private with grass "lawns"
Owner is nice and a character. Would stay again. - Team Asphalt

Nice facilities, excellent water quality and pressure. Lots of big rig pull throughs. Cable channels were strong with a large number of channels. Very few seasonal campers. Roads and pads are very finely ground granite, which sticks to shoes like sand does and gets into everything. The camp owner has no business running a RV park. His attitude ranged from surly to downright rude. The few seasonal campers at the park seemed to be afraid of him. I would only stay here again if the park were under new management. The rate I listed was based on a week's stay. - NewmarNewbie

Wonderful visit! You will feel comfortable, safe and welcome here.The owners have every reason to be proud of this RV park and they are truly concerned that your visit is enjoyable. Spacious sites, some by a brook. Clean and inviting showers, restrooms and laundry. Nice rec hall. Good walking area for pets. Good wifi. We've made our reservations for next year! - Ralph and Joyce

I cannot emphasize enough you should really think about another location for camping. This is not a fun campground for anyone that has any disposable income. This appears to be nothing more than an inner city gathering of people setting up tents and campers with no order. Some sites meant for 4-6 people have 15 with two barking ankle biters. The front office staff are rude and not helpful. Kids of very young ages run around without any supervision and if you need a 30 amp site do not think about running anything with the a/c because you will trip their circuit breakers and then they need to reset when they have time. All in all it is not camping. It is like parking your camper at a local Walmart that has someone walking around in a Yogi suit and old swing sets. - StevenM

This was better when it was family owned, now that it is corporate there are fewer activities and less maintenance. Security only patrolled our area after we called to complain about the loud music that had been playing for hours. There are too many cabins and rental trailers here which changes the camping experience. Our site was large and wooded which was nice, we were not in the main part of the part. Still seems good for little kids, but the bears are not out as much as they use to be, they did not come site to site as in the past. Activity times were not planned well as they had the main event during dinner. With a little TLC this could be a nice park again. - Happy Camper X2

We camped here for 2 nights. I will say we were "lucky" in the fact that we got a nice site up on the hill that was large, shaded, fit our 40' rig nicely and most importantly, away from all the chaos and commotion. The other sites were all down in the main area where there was little shade and hoards of people all over the place. This park is nice if you have kids and want there to be lots of other kids and lots of activities. Quiet would not be a word to describe this park. It was overwhelming at times with the amount of people walking around. While nice to see people having a good time, driving around the park was scary and a bit nerve racking. The water park and pool area are an obvious hit with kids. The river swimming area and beach were nice. We had a good time swimming there. I would warn everyone to not swim across the river to the popular rope swing (not owned by the campground), as there is serious potential for injury. Yes it happened to someone in our party. Overall the amenities were good. We did not try or check out the bathrooms due to the constant lines. They had a nicely stocked store and all sites had fire rings. They also had site trash pick up twice a day which is always nice. We would like to see 50 amp sites available. For the price we paid, not necessarily worth it but we still managed to have a good time. Just be ready for lots of people. The campground does a decent job with crowd control though. Yogi Bear & friends were ultra cute visiting the sites. The location was convenient and close to lots of area recreation. - WorldWideUnlimited

Very nice, well maintained campground. Owners seem like nice people and they work round the clock updating and cleaning the campground. Sites were well sized, clean, etc. The campground is close to just about anything you would want to do in New Hampshire. Any criticism would be on the charges for camp activities and deposits required for using rec room equipment. - JButler

Campground is more than a mile up an unpaved, overgrown and unkempt dirt road. We called to check available site and gave the our dimensions and were told to come. We were not told that the one spot available for a 36', triple slide would be two campsites side by side. Next morning when attempting to leave, we were boxed in by overgrown trees which a fellow camper was kind enough to cut enough limps to get me out. Backing out was not possible. My souvenir is many new scratches on my motorhome. On the other hand the owners were friendly and they have installed new cabins if that is your thing. Not for big rigs! - CT Nomads

Terrible campground
This campground is absolutely disgusting. It may seem like a good value but you are in for a nasty experience if you go here.
We rented a cabin which looked like it would be fine. When we arrived and opened up the cabin we were greeted by the smell of must and body odor. The mattresses smelled of old urine. There was dirt and grime all over the place, and graffiti on the table. The cabins are situated close enough to the highway that all you hear the entire time you are there is the sound of trucks barrelling down the freeway. The only thing that distracted from the noise were the too-close neighbors blaring music throughout the night (how about a quiet hours policy? apparently not here!)
This place will try to rip you off at every opportunity. They have an additional charge for gate access. They charge for showers. They charge for firewood they have obviously picked up from left over camping wood that has obvious burn marks on it (and may even be distributing illegal and/or invasive firewood, who knows where that wood came from?). They will try and charge you for an entire additional half-day (over $30) for staying over at their pool for just 30 minutes, even though it was rained out for the entire trip except the first day. If you make the unfortunate decision of going here, you should be on your guard and be extra careful.
By far the most exciting part about this place before we arrived was the pool. Turns out it is just as nasty as the rest of the place. The pool has a noticeable odor coming off of it. The reason, I think, is obvious. In their penny-pinching wisdom they have decided to charge for showers. Guess what that means? Probably all of the sweaty, filthy campers are just jumping in the pool to clean off instead of paying for a shower. Essentially, the pool is a giant dirty bath for the entire campground. They apparently try and make up for this by dumping chemicals in that are extremely irritating to the eyes. - leroyjones

Jul 2008 - $30.00
We reserved 2 sites side by side, one of our friends canceled, so we called and re booked the other site in the next couple of days, well before we left our friends called to see if they could leave a day earlier, they said they didn't even see the 2 sites.They only saw the one site reserved. They put us on a different site than what we originally wanted, and put our friends far away from us. The owner blamed it on his daughter and was a real jerk about the whole situation. We were down at the campground store and overheard another conversation with the owner with another couple who had the same problem with their site, and again, it was the daughter who took the reservation. This place has an old playground with old swings and hasn't been updated in a very long time, only riverfront sites are seasonal, there are NO activities for the kids to do. Only some video games which most of them are shut off during the day. The sites are decent, but we will never be going back again. - jackiechevy3

Stopped here for an overnight while on the road. Had to pay a $16 upcharge because it was "bike week" even though it was the Sunday night. Needless to say I was perturbed by that since I had no interest in motorcycling. I was in a long pull-through site but could only use a portion that was level. Sewer hookup was such that I would have had to use an extension so I didn't dump till the next stop. Other connections were easy. Wi-Fi and cable were good. Nothing to make it avoidable, but I would try another park as $44 normal charge was excessive for this as an overnight stopover. - plove

Nice location about seven miles from Lake Winnie. Gravel roads a little tight. Gravel sites, mostly level. Very forested in back area, front area more open. Utilities very good. No satellite in back area, maybe a chance in front area. Cable was good. Can't remember the WiFi. Water pressure good. There was park construction while we were there and lots of tractors and dust. Long walk to bathrooms from back area. Bathrooms were nice. Staff was very helpful. - VegasVagabonds

Twin Tamarack is a run down campground with shady people both working and staying at the campground. We were only there for one night on the way to Santa's Village with small children. We were put in a wetland site with swamp weeds and mosquitoes near the front of the campground. It is overrun with seasonal campers and golf carts. The store is a joke as they only have a few items and all are behind a counter as if they are afraid people will steal something. The place appears dirty and in need of repair, trash was spilling over the trash bins and people working were unfriendly in the office. Didn't see a single smile from workers or patrons while we were there. We have stayed at many high quality and highly rated campgrounds and this was a very big disappointment. Mostly older clientele and few kids. I don't suggest that anyone stays here. - JMA33
Jul 2013 - $22.00
Well laid out park with gravel roads and sites that are cut into the forest to give loads of privacy all around. WiFi is limited to sites fairly close to office. Good WiFi, good Verizon signal, well-kept campground with nice family feel. Very friendly on-site owners and staff. Pool was a little too green. Lake beach across the road was a nice plus. Nice walking roads around and near the park. - jbrucemagon

We stayed here for a week to go to the NASCAR race in Loudon. It was a 'rustic' campground. Very few 50 amp sites so we had to settle for a 30 amp site. The electricity was not all that great as the voltage would get too low and trip my surge protector all the time, specially late afternoon when people got home from their daily outings and turned on their A/C units. Sister-in-law came and were told that the site they had did not have cable although they had asked for it, so she piggy-backed on ours. It was a quiet campground for the number of children. - Tundra

As previously stated new owners are friendly and working hard on improvements. New pool was open. Owners were waiting for pool heater to be hooked up which will be a nice touch. We had a nice site with privacy but theses sites are vanishing quickly because the owners are putting in a lot of seasonals. I doubt that if we wanted to stop here next year we would find an adequate site for our 37' RV. Cable lines were lying on top of the ground as well as water lines and sewer pipes. Labor day weekend was noisy. Folks next to us were loud after quiet time and started using foul language in their conversations but they were all gone in 2 days. Holderness is where they filmed On Golden Pond. The tenting area was nicely set in the woods. Won't stop here again since all the good sites we saw are being converted to seasonal. - rv4rob

This campground has new owners who are doing a good job of bringing it up to date. They put in a new pool which was not ready when we were here Memorial Day weekend but which I understand was ready the following week. They are also doing a lot of landscaping. Our sites were fine. We were travelling as a large group and got 5 sites together. The kids participated in the activities that were offered and really enjoyed them. Dogs were welcome. One warning, there were lots of mosquitoes. I did see on their FaceBook page that they sprayed sometime after we visited. I would stay here again. - sbradley

This was a campground with lots of seasonals. The dump station and showers were out of order. "Just been inspected and approved by Woodall's". The campground was noisy and sites very close together, in-fact my neighbor on the drivers side had his fire roaring within 8 feet of my dining slide. No monitoring noted by owners. - t.c.fal.sr

Lovely campground with lots of shade. Gravel roads, nice beach, swimming area, volleyball, etc. I spent the night on a tent site after a long weekend at Winnipesaukee on an island, and didn't want to drive all the way home. Quiet night sleeping, then hit the road first thing. I'd stay here again. Camped in my '89 Westfalia VW camper. - JudoJeff

This is a nice campground on a small lake. The little beach is lovely with a volley ball net and area you can fish or put a small boat in, etc. The lake is small but if you just want to get into some nice New England water then it is perfect. People were nice, TV and cell coverage was good. Small but good roads and wooded environment. One way system but once you get the hang of it. The sister campground across the street has pool and hot tub but we did not use. The location is good for Meredith and the lake. Nothing special but could not really find anything in the area that was great. - FrancisandRenee

The sites are huge and wooded. Could not see my neighbor which is what I am love the most and what I am looking for. Staff was nice. You can use the beach in campground across the street, which I looked at but did not use. If you are looking for some big private sites this is the place. Also the indoor pool is very clean and well kept. - nh kayak

This was our first outing of the season and we stayed her because of their indoor pool. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a 4 1/2 year old with us and they gave us a site with a short walk to the playground/pool for her. The roads are a bit tight and not in great shape after the winter here but the sites were large and nice (although there was still snow piled up and it was muddy because of the season). The playground was okay for the 4 1/2 year old but would be too old for smaller children. The pool was great! We utilized it several times over the weekend. There are bathrooms and showers right off the pool area and they were relatively clean but the showers had poor water pressure (but the hot water). We will probably try to stay here once again off season. - viewnh

We thoroughly enjoy this place! We come and stay without a dinghy. Just a relaxing weekend with our dogs at the river. They love it! We are a big rig for what usually frequents this location. As such we sometimes overdraw on the electric. Doesn't create any serious problems. We are here for some relaxation at the river's edge and haven't needed our AC though we do need to fire up the generator to run the microwave if needed. This is not a drawback to us as our needs and draws are simple. We come to kick back and relax. - naskarbeth

Wind-Up Wilma is a 1981 animated television special and is the third of The Flintstone Special limited-run prime time revival of The Flintstones produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which premiered on NBC on October 4, 1981.
Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio, one of the last productions to do so.
Wilma is a celebrity when she gets a shot at the big leagues and becomes a pitcher for the Bedrock Dodgers after nailing a couple of robbers with a melon at the grocery store; however, she and Fred argue over her ambition to pitch for the team because Fred thinks a woman's place is in the home.

It's been a while since the last Hobbit production blog from director Peter Jackson and with the release of a new behind-the-scenes sneak peek, we decided to gather together a bunch of Hobbit goodies for you beginning with Production Diary #12.
The latest production diary originally aired as part of the Hobbit Worldwide Fan event last week and included a bunch of bloopers, more filming and a lot of postproduction work. Check out the new three-minute trailer that also screened during the event.
Moving along like dwarves in a barrel, the latest behind-the-scene featurette has arrived and the focus is on Beorn's house. Who is Beorn? Well, as Ian McKellen puts it, he's "a man who is sometimes a bear or a bear who is sometimes a man." He's otherwise known as skin changer who has a propensity of becoming hairy.
Take a look at the massive set that, um, dwarfed the entire cast and crew. The video is courtesy of Dennys, which has brought back its Hobbit-themed menu items including Smaug's Fire Burger and Bard's Pumpkin Pie Milkshake.
Meanwhile, the latest round of Hobbit posters brings us six new French character sheets and another large banner featuring Bilbo, Bard, Tauriel and Legolas. Click on each for larger versions.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug arrives in theaters on December 13.

The Corporate Reform Coalition advocates alternative responses to the growing problem of corporate influence in our elections. We work to limit the impact of the Citizens United decision by exposing corporate influence in our elections and bringing new accountability to corporate behavior via shareholder protection solutions. Anyone with a 401(k) invested in stocks or mutual funds – nearly one out of every two households today – has a stake when CEO's spend their money from corporate treasuries.
Responsible corporate governance requires the involvement of informed shareholders and is not a partisan issue. We believe that holding management accountable and ensuring that political spending decisions are made transparently and in pursuit of sound business is important for both the market and for democracy. Increasing disclosure of corporate political spending and giving shareholders a voice in the process would help the public hold corporations accountable for their political behavior.
The organizations in our coalition come from diverse backgrounds, with concerns ranging from constitutional rights to corporate governance to protecting our air and water. We have many different priorities, but we all agree that Citizens United requires a strong corporate governance response.

As the title suggests, I would like for the Creme version of this dress to return. It's not that I don't love the Navy and Cranberry dresses that I do have, I just always really liked the Creme and wanted it to round out my wrap dress collection. I really like this dress, the length, the fabric. I wear an XS (32, 23, 33) and this fits the way I would like an XS to fit, skimming over the body yet also snug in the right places. My biggest complaint would be that the neckline is VERY low, so I always need a cami under it to be work apropriate. Another complaint, and this is more of wrap dresses in general, I hate how they always fly open in the front if there's a breeze or sometimes when just walking. But, in general, I really like this dress and would totally buy another if the Creme were to somehow reappear.

I swear-- there must be elves or something that keep taking my stuff and hiding it, because I cannot, for the life of me, find this dress.

I bought this to dress up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween this year. I wanted a dress that could be worn outside of Halloween so I was happy when I found this. I was a little nervous that the large (as a size 11/12) would be too small but for the most part it fits like a glove-not too tight and not too loose. It is slightly longer but I don't mind since my legs are somewhat long. It was more than I wanted to spend but the fact that I will get multiple uses out of it made it worth it!

I'm not one to usually snark on other reviews, but I have to believe some of the negative reviews are people not getting the right size for their bodies or just not understanding the dress. I would normally get XLs to be on the safe side (I usually wear a US 10 in things, and I'm an hourglass who likes things looser), but I got this in an L in purple and brown, and don't regret it. This dress is VERY versatile--you can tie in a variety of ways to do a different look. You can finagle the ties in the back for a more streamlined look, or wrap it to the side for more emphasis on making your waist smaller. I wear this as my fall/winter/spring (I live in Michigan, where sometimes all of these weathers are the same) dress because it's a sturdy, almost heavy material.

I had looked at this dress months ago with the groupon deal and was pretty sold, but a little nervous about sizing... Eventually the stars aligned and I got this dress in an XL very recently. I absolutely love it... It falls mid thigh on me (I'm all legs), the top is extremely flattering, and the material feels like it will really last. With a wrap dress, you know you have to watch where the slit falls, and it does take a little fanagling to get everything to sit right, but it's my new favorite dress... I hope they start making them again very soon

The look, quality and fit of this dress is great, however the only issue I have about it is the length. Just as it appears on the model, I would have liked the dress to hit well above the knee - the length was just too long for my short frame (I am 5.3, size 25 waist and I had purchased an XS). Then again, I normally have this length issue due to having short legs, and so I just end up getting most of my dresses hemmed.
November 14, 2011
Disappointed. Thick, heavy cotton with no stretch or flow. The skirt is split down the middle, so you have to hold it down if you walk outside. I'm fairly thin but it made me look like I had a tummy. Tried it also as a maternity dress, but tented out like a teepee and made my stomach look like the prow of a ship. I tried to pin it so that it would hang more naturally around the bump, but it looked odd and like an apron. Feels like a hospital gown, exposed in the wrong places, and not sexy or flattering. Not worth the price.

few things about this dress.....1. thick material, good for winter but not for summer, 2. the front is reeeally low, looks pretty obscene w/o a tank top if you have boobs, 3. when you sit down, at the bottom of the dress where one side wraps over the other, it kinda splits open so you risk flashing everyone unless you wear leggings....if you can deal w/ that it's a great dress. would have liked thinner material though.

I'm a UK size 8 (US 2-4), 36-25-36, and I have this dress in a Small in Purple, a really nice midtone colour. I have to pull it really tight to make the waist small enough, so I could have opted for the Extra Small, but it would have been too tight in the chest. Apart from that, the fit is generally good, although the waist tie hits too high for me and I'm fairly short (5'3") and slightly short-waisted. This means it's not as flattering or comfortable as it would be if it hit at my narrowest point. Another annoyance is that over time the dye has faded unevenly, so there are some paler patches on the body of the dress. They're noticeable only to me and only in strong light, but it indicates poorer quality than I'd expect for 27. I probably wouldn't buy again.

Great fit, very forgiving, but the black attracts lint and hair like nobody's business, kind of kills the classy look i was going for.

My favourite dress ever! So comfortable and easy to throw on. I think the material is perfect, especially in colder weather and the length was good for me. I order medium- am 5'9 and weigh 125lbs. I probably could have gotten a small as it is a bit big, but I just have to tie a bit tighter (and I like knowing that I will still be able to wear it if I put on a bit of weight!)

a number of things were wrong with this dress when i received it. firstly the material is too thick and not flattering. also the length is weird and the tie is in a bad place. i had to make a hole to see if it would fit better and it still looked off. it also makes me feel fat.

I've been looking everywhere for an affordable, basic wrap dress, although I wasn't sure what to expect from American Apparel. I'm 5'7", about 130 lbs. with an hourglass figure, so I ordered in a medium. It fits just right! The v-neck is a bit low if not situated properly, but that can always be solved with a cami. Also, the fabric is more substantial than I was expecting, which is a pleasant surprise. I ordered in asphalt and cranberry & both are lovely colors. I'm hoping they restock it in black and creme soon, so I can order those as well!

I'm 5'4", 36D, hourglass figure. I ordered a L in creme for the office. The material was much thicker than I thought it would be, and didn't lay right. It was also much shorter than the photo online. Minimal coverage for the boobs. Not flattering. I washed it to see if the fabric would lighten up - no luck. I'm stuck with it now :/
I love most of AA's stuff, but this was a big fail for me.

I'm 5'2, 125lbs, narrow shoulders and torso, bigger hips and butt, 34B bra size. I ordered a medium. The length is great, but the material and the cut aren't flattering. The material itself is comfortable and is of good quality, but something about it's thickness and they way it falls doesn't look right... it looked frumpy and bunchy (especially in the back and hip area). The arms fit well, but the collar/bust area was too big. I was hoping this could be a good, all-around dress, but sadly it's not cute at all!
by Sarah
January 27, 2011
I'm 5'4" and 155 lbs and I ordered the M. I also have broad shoulders and the dress was waaaay too tight in the arms/shoulder area. I was pleased with the length and the style of the dress but the material just wasn't what I hoped. It is a nice thick cotton but it made the cranberry color just look boring. I probably could have exchanged for the large but the overall look wasn't flattering on me unfortunately.

Now, I haven't played it myself yet, so I don't want any spoilers. I'd just like to hear your opinions on it though, hopefully that's an easy enough task. My brother bought it on 360, which is not the system I have been playing the series on before, and he's already beaten the game, so soon he'll be letting me borrow it. I'm pretty excited for it. Again, without spoilers, is the story good, or was it good for those that beat it? I'd like to know all I can excluding important things; as an example, what kinds of bugs hindered the experience? Were there any? Simpler stuff like that. Alright, thanks. Oh, and this is off topic, but Halo 4 tomorrow! Anyone else here extremely excited? :D
So, how is, or how was this game?

I have a strange bug in my game. During the cutscenes the texture for Connor's hair doesn't load so he just has a brown colored bald head. It happens during every cutscene now. It's pretty funny. Horse riding is pretty bad since the smallest obstacle will cause your horse to spaz the fuck out. Sometimes guards will chase you for literally no reason at all. Random people in town will disappear. Some of the volume on the conversation will go very low for no reason. When you go to climb over something that are only at knee height Connor will stop and put his hands up as if he is running into a wall. Then you try to climb it again and it works. Major clipping occurring pretty much all the time. Just random spazzing out during cutscenes occurs quite often. Sorry this is so long but there are a ton of bugs plaguing this game. I still somewhat enjoy the game but it is hard to get past how unfinished this game appears to be. The naval combat is great and by far the most satisfying part of the game. The story is ok but I am not a huge fan of Connors character. Haven't tried the multiplayer yet but I'll assume it's a shitfest. Biggest disappointment of the year and I have played Darksiders 2.

Wrong. In terms of bugs I haven't encountered any in multiplayer through 160 sessions, apart from excellent maps and additional improvements to the already excellent mechanics. Maybe 5 sessions have had lag issues, that's about it.

I felt it was alright. Horrible ending not withstanding, the world was fun to run around in for the most part (though sometimes traversing the wilderness to get to the next mission seems kinda like a chore), combat was the same as previous Assassin's Creed, so take that how you will, and story was pretty cool around the mid-point and only plummeted that last 10-15 minutes or so.
I didn't really like Conner as a character but that is probably just personal preference. As for bugs, I didn't encounter any that I can recall, just a few spots with the normal AC annoyance of wanting to run one direction, but your guy instead climbing something next to him. Also I got the Ezio outfit with the Uplay points you unlock for playing the game, and with that outfit on the dudes face kept graphically messing up and going through the hood of it, so no more looking like Ezio for me.
I felt the best parts of the game were the Desmond in the real world parts. To me they were fun, played well, and super interesting to see the Assassin skills put to use modern day. And holy shit the last Desmond playable mission was awesome.
All and all it was a fine game. Not the best AC, and the ending really, really rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it won't have that impression on you, so keep playing it :D
Gonna dive into multiplayer now...maybe. If Halo 4 doesn't suck up all my time.
I'm going to counter @laserbolts by saying that it is one of my favorite games of the year. I enjoyed the story at least as much as AC2's story, the combat is greatly improved, the naval combat is spectacular, and the controls are streamlined. When I say the combat is better, I mean it is not as automated as it was in Brotherhood and presents just enough challenge to make you feel accomplished.
There are definitely bugs, but I did not have any that made me look at the game in a negative light. I saw a floating gun, sometimes people disappear as you get near them (random crowd NPCs), and the game still has the climbing issues that the main protagonist always has in AC games. However, like I said, none of these bugs detracted from the whole, and I had a blast playing through the game.
P.S. Oh and the sidequests are actually pretty interesting this time around. I just really enjoyed my time with the whole game.

I've enjoyed my time with it. Naval combat is fantastic, and I appreciate Ubi developing Connor in a way that it set him apart from Ezio. Wolfpack mode in multiplayer surprised me with how fun that is, pulling off sync kills between 4 players feels super rewarding.
For how long Ubi holds your hand throughout the game, there are a lot of things that are not explained very well. I found that getting familiar with the crafting and convoy system to be pretty complex, like the developers spent a huge amount of time working on it and evolving it but rarely thought about explaining the intricacies to the user. While I enjoy the closeness of the homestead, I miss the villa.
Getting 100% sync will lead you down a dark path of countless reloads and fighting the controls and AI, both of which are not perfect. I'd imagine it's more than competent to someone who just wanted to cruise through content.

I'm just getting into the open world part of it as I'm starting Sequence 6. I really like it so far. Technically it's a bit rougher around the edges than previous games have been, so not sure who slipped up on that. Still, I love the combat changes, movement feels great and I especially like the outdoor environments. Horses are kinda weird, although the only two games I actually liked horses in were Shadow of the Colossus and Red Dead Redemption. Story is pretty interesting so far, but to be fair I'm in for the long haul having played AC, ACII, ACB and ACR, so I went down the rabbit hole a long time ago.
I'm not really sure what all the negative buzz is about other than bugs. Maybe people were expecting them to revolutionize the experience? I'm not sure why they would so close to the end of this console generation. All in all, it's very much an AC game and a pretty damn good one to boot. Just needs a patch or two to clean up some of the glitches.
I'm really struggling to get into it. AC2 grabbed you and made you care about Ezio right away. I'm only in Sequence 2 (I know, I'm slow. Blame Sandy and delayed delivery), but I don't give a shit about my character. I'm close to walking away and picking back up with Dishonored.

The game is really good but the ending is the worse thing since the NES days. Still the road getting there is very entertaining.

It's definitely my favorite AC game so far. I guess I'm pretty easy to satisfy in terms of story, and maybe the setting and time period have something to do with it, but this is the first AC game where I've wanted to push forward simply to find out what happens next. In terms of mechanics, they simplified some of the controls which took me a while to get used to, but overall I think the experience has been improved for it. They've trimmed the fat from a lot of the secondary systems so they feel more optional.
In terms of bugs, there hasn't been anything major. Connor has had occasional trouble with the geometry, especially in more cramped areas, but that's always been a hallmark of AC and the new safe-running feature helps mitigate a lot of potential disasters. Other than that, I've had an assassination contract spawn inside of a moving cart, making him unreachable until I ran far enough away from the area to respawn which took no more than 2 minutes round-trip. It probably would have been faster to use the quick-travel but it didn't come to mind. Also I've had a fort commander spawn in the floor forcing me to do the same thing. These were the only times when a bug actually set me back a bit, and again it was only a few minutes each time. I'm sure there have been a few, but I honestly can't remember encountering a single bug during the main story missions. There definitely was nothing significant and the ability to reload checkpoints makes it significantly easier to ensure a full-sync.
I'm nearing the end of Sequence 7 right now I believe and I'm actually getting ready to boot the game up again. If anything of note happens to me between now and the end of the game I'll pop back in and let you know.
I think's it pretty good, but not outstanding. I really didn't like the opening couple of sequences. They felt like they were only in there for the "twist" at the end of them, and I thought the game could have arrived at that point a lot faster than it did. It wouldn't be so bad if you had access to all the cool peripheral stuff right off the bat, but you don't. Unfortunately, that means that a lot of the really fun side stuff (sailing, homesteading, chasing collectables, etc.) is gated behind about 4-5 hours of really linear gameplay. Like a prior post mentioned, you need to get to Sequences 6/12 before the game opens up, and personally I found it a struggle to get to that point while still being interested.
In a nutshell, I felt like ACII and Brotherhood (I didn't play Revelations) were half a step better in almost every respect; the graphics were a little smoother, Ezio was a better protagonist, the plot was a little better, I found the setting a little more interesting, etc. This doesn't make ACIII a bad game by any stretch, I just didn't feel like it reached the heights of prior games.
@laserbolts: That's OK, I understood it all and I thank you for your post. Next time try to separate it into paragraphs though. I also wanted to ask, which version was it that you played?
@takayamasama: Huh, interesting. Thanks for your post. I haven't yet started playing it because my brother hasn't brought it over, but I'm sure the game isn't bad, or at least bad enough to not want to get through, ha ha.
@huntad: Sweet, I guess I'll see when I finally play it.
@UberExplodey: Depending on how much I like it, I'll see if I want to do 100 percent. It's too bad they don't explain all the stuff.
@yevinorion: Yeah, I hope they keep patching it to make it the best possible experience it can be, and I'm with you, I'm in it for the long haul.
@Asmo917: Maybe it's because you're not done with Dishonored that makes you disinterested, ha ha. Maybe not though.
@StarvingGamer: Alright, thanks! It seems to me these bugs are present, but it's up to the player to determine if or how much it bothers them. Or maybe in areas of others sessions different things happen. Hopefully I won't come across too many bugs, and if I do, hopefully they won't bother me.
@LawGamer: Yeah, I've heard it takes about five hours to get into it. You don't think it pays off though? A lot of people have complained about it, but also said that it was probably a good idea that it was there.
Thanks for your posts!
I think it's pretty poor. I'm actually quite surprised at how well it's reviewed, because the game's buggy, the mechanics poorly explained and it feels a shadow of 2 and Brotherhood. There were moments where I saw that greatness that had come before in the series, but not enough to make it cool.
@NTM: Probably some truth in that, but I thought about this and wrote something last night. With AC2, I was introduced to Ezio right off the bat and within 45 minutes I knew his backstory as a teenage ladies' man, saw his family decimated, and wanted to get revenge on the Borgias. I'm 2 hours into AC3 and
I had no clue who I was playing as until I looked up the name. I wondered if I missed something from Revelations? Should I know this guy? And where the hell is the badass Connor that's been the focus of the marketing campaign for 12-18 months?
I got some of those answers and while they were a little spoiler-y, it was nothing I couldn't have guessed. I'm just not as engaged in the world they've created like I was with AC2 and Brotherhood. With Dishonored, I knew who Corvo was, what he was about, and why I was doing what I was doing pretty damn quickly.

I guess I'm not far enough into the plot to determine whether it really pays off or not. I certainly understand why it's in there, since it is a necessary part of establishing Connor as a character, I just think it could have been done better (and faster). The way it's done and paced just makes it hard to get into the game.
I think part of my problem is that the beginning of the game exists in this strange "between area." It sort of gives you a limited open world (you can initially explore almost all of Boston), but holds back almost all of the fun stuff. It gives you a couple of chests and the odd almanac pages to find, but overall it's pretty barren. It comes across as being sterile and boring since it gives you this giant city with virtually nothing to do. I would rather they have limited the first few chapters to really linear areas and missions so that it could get to their big story twist and then get into the game proper.
It's disappointing because the devs just can't seem to get it right. In past games, they gated your ability to traverse the environment behind arbitrary story points. Now they get to ACIII, and give you all the traversal skills almost right off the bat, but now they hold back all the stuff you do with those abilities behind arbitrary story points. At some point I hope they realize the side activities are actually a big part of the draw of these games and just let players get to it.
The good news in all of this is that once all the introductory fluff is out of the way, there is almost a paralyzing amount of stuff available to do, so if your like me and enjoy the side stuff more than the main plot, you should stick with.
Oh, and tricorn hats are definitely due for a comeback.
I've played through all the AC games with the exception of Revelations which I only played about 3 hours worth. I just finished AC3.
As a fan of AC, I enjoyed the game and I felt it moved the main story arc along enough that I was satisfied. Connor's story was told well in my opinion. Some would say there was too much back story or tutorial but I'd argue that it was all necessary to build up the character properly.
Gameplay seemed pretty standard. If you like AC games, you'll like how it plays. If not, you won't. I didn't feel like it did anything drastic enough to sway an existing opinion on the moment to moment gameplay.
As for the side story stuff, I liked the way this was set up way more than I did brotherhood. While I didn't go too deep into the actual crafting and selling, I did thoroughly enjoy the stories of all the people who came to live in your village.
One other welcome addition was the ship stuff. If you've played Sid Meyer's Pirates, you should know how the sea battles sort of control. It's good fun and a nice break whenever you need one from the regular AC stuff.
If you like collecting things, you'll love it. If not, you don't really need to do it. The world is really wide and open, especially in the wilderness areas but the game is set up so that you can almost always fast travel to the areas you need to get to so you won't have to waste any more time than you want to.
Long story short, fan of AC will at the very least enjoy the game and get a solid dose of story. If you don't like AC, this won't do it for you.
I was really on the fence after hearing all the negativity surrounding this, but I finally bit the bullet and picked up my preorder...and I'm so glad I did. It might be because I didn't beat brotherhood and barely played revelations but this game feels very fresh and new exactly what I wanted for the series. I'm 12.5 hours in and the game is telling me I am 34% complete so take that for what it's worth maybe it turns to shit after act 7 I don't know.
I love the slower pace of the missions and the environment feels very cohesive and a fully realized world, more alive then the other games for me. I like the new characters more then the old and find the story alot more interesting (I love this period in history though).
This is the first ac game I have liked besides 2 and I am enjoying this far more then that.

Biggest disappointment of the year for me, right up there with Mass Effect 3. That ending is right up there with Mass Effect 3, at least they didn't stretch it out over 15 minutes. Controls a mess, bugs a mess, mission design a mess, They took one massive step back from the previous installments with this one.
And as for Connor, absolutely bored me. Christ...I waited 3 years for this and I've never been so disappointed in a game.

Not done yet since I'm taking my time doing every side thing collecting stuff and all, but I really love this game.
I'm biaised towards AC though, I love history and the premise and attention to detail the games put in the setting really hook me and make me eager to overlook obvious flaws. So yeah, and I also took a break and didn't play revelations so I haven't touched the series since Brotherhood. I feel this is making the game a lot better since I'm appreciating it more for how different it is from the rest of games and not noticing the more mechanical shortcomings.
Anyhow, I would recommend it, I'm on ps3 and no bugs thus far apart from some minor clipping and open world janky stuff, nothing game or immersion breaking really.

A lot of technical problems, a slow as mollases start, some comically bad writing, but it picks itself up after around sequence 7. The privateering stuff was tremendous fun. I almost want a brotherhood style game that's JUST privateering.

I've finally gotten deep enough into the story and I have to say I fucking love this game. I can't really put my thumb on it but it's got me like AC2 got me. Also I seriously have had zero bugs aside from clipping but that's in pretty much every polygonal game ever.

Quarterback is by far the most important position in professional sports, and whether it's fair or not, quarterbacks are judged on what they do in the playoffs.
The regular season is great. After all, a team has to get to the playoffs first. But if you're a quarterback and you throw three picks in your team's only playoff game? You're going to hear about that for a long time.
One person will argue that Quarterback A is better than Quarterback B because Quarterback A won more MVP awards, threw for more yards and had a higher passer rating.
"Yeah, but Quarterback B has more rings," someone will say—and let the debate begin.
Twenty-five men have played quarterback since 1940 and earned a spot in the Hall of Fame. All but seven of those won a Super Bowl or NFL championship (in the pre-Super Bowl era). Only three—Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen and Warren Moon—failed to ever make the NFL's grandest stage.
A quarterback with the physical skills is great—a rocket arm, great pocket presence, laser-like accuracy and a quick release are attributes a team looks for in any leader. But those only count for so much. A quarterback needs to be able to win, and win playoff games.
Then again, Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring and Dan Marino does not. So is Dilfer better than Marino?
Of course not.

Sefko: Don't expect reunion between Mavericks and Tyson Chandler, but ...
Beat writer Eddie Sefko answered questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: dalembert a goner after the season?
Eddie Sefko: I don't see it that way. He's got another season on his contract, so he's going to be playing somewhere next season. If they sign a center like Gortat or Hawes, it probably means Dalembert gets shuffled along. But at this point, he's been OK most of the season. When he's getting eight or 10 rebounds per game, he's pretty serviceable. I know he's only averaging 6 and 6, but I tend to put more stock on what has happened later in the season and his rebounding (eight or more in four of the last five games) has perked up lately. That's a stat that means plenty in this league, especially when you are only playing 24 minutes per game or less. My gut tells me he'll be back.
Question: who's fault is it that the mavs blew a 30 point lead vs the blazers?
Eddie Sefko: I'd say it's equal parts the players and the Blazers. That's a pretty good team. No way they don't make a few shots and chop into that lead. And let's face it, blowing leads is what the Mavericks do. That's a major part of their DNA this season.
Question: What is Roddy Buckets up to these days? Any way the Mavs bring him back for the stretch run?
Eddie Sefko: Good lord, why? Is he going to play in front of Devin Harris or the starters? I think not. And who knows what kind of game shape he's in right now. Pass.
Question: any chance mark rights a wrong and tries to bring back Tyson chandler since it is getting around he wants out of ny?
Eddie Sefko: I suppose it's possible. But be careful of trying to rebuild the mouse trap. It's hard to manufacture the magic that happened in 2011. Sometimes, it just happens. And if the Knicks do let loose of Chandler, they are going to be trying to extract a major price tag from somebody. So don't think you could just get Chandler for Dalembert and some draft trinkets. Not going to happen. I will say this. Chandler's contract, one more year at $14-million-plus, is a lot better looking now than it was a couple years back. By the way, Dalembert's second season is at the Mavericks' discretion, so they could simply part ways with him. But that's not going to happen unless they have a significant upgrade already in place at center.

Basic Role-Playing
Basic Role-Playing cover page
|Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis
|Publication date
|1980, 1981, 2002, 2008
Basic Role-Playing (BRP) is a role-playing game system which originated in the fantasy-oriented RuneQuest role-playing game rules. A percentile skill-based system, BRP was used as the basis for most of the games published by Chaosium, including Stormbringer, Worlds of Wonder, Call of Cthulhu, Superworld, Ringworld, Elfquest, Hawkmoon, Elric!, and Nephilim. However, Pendragon (acquired in 1998 by Green Knight Publishing, and 2005 by White Wolf), while related, has sufficiently different mechanics that it can be seen as a separate system. The BRP standalone booklet was first released in 1980. Two years later it became part of the Worlds of Wonder boxed set. The first edition boxed set of Call of Cthulhu included the booklet as its character creation rules. Greg Stafford and Lynn Willis are credited as the authors.
BRP is similar to other generic systems such as GURPS, Hero System or Savage Worlds in that it uses a simple resolution method which can be broadly applied, in this case an attempt to roll under a certain number with percentile dice. Each incarnation of the BRP rules has changed or added to the core ideas and mechanics, so that games are not identical. For example, in Call of Cthulhu, skills may never be over 100%, while in Stormbringer skills in excess of 100% are within reach for all characters.
In 2004, Chaosium published the Basic Roleplaying monographs (the hyphen was dropped in the later products). Books with a quick and inexpensive printed format of tape binding and printed cardstock covers, the four monographs (Players Book, Magic Book, Creatures Book, and Gamemaster Book) were printed in order to assert Chaosium's copyrights in the run-up to the publishing and distribution of Deluxe Basic Roleplaying, a game system that is essentially RuneQuest 3rd Edition but with additions to allow play in other genres.
Chaosium released a new version of BRP on June 24, 2008 as single comprehensive book.
The core rules were originally written by Steve Perrin[1] as part of his game RuneQuest.[2] It was Greg Stafford's idea to simplify the rules (eliminating such things as Strike Ranks and Hit Locations) and issue them in a 16-page booklet called Basic Role Playing. Over the years several others, including Sandy Petersen, Lynn Willis, and Steve Henderson, contributed to their final form.
The BRP was notable for being the first role-playing game system to introduce a full skill system to characters regardless of their profession. This was developed in RuneQuest but was also later adopted by the more skill-oriented Call of Cthulhu[3][4] and the dark fantasy saga of Elric in Stormbringer.[5]
BRP was conceived of as a genre-generic engine around which any sort of RPG could be played, much like GURPS and the d20 system have become today. In order to underscore this, Chaosium produced the Worlds of Wonder supplement, which contained the generic rules and several specific applications of those rules to given genres. Superworld, specifically, began as a portion of the Worlds of Wonder product.
The fantasy game supplement Thieves World, based on the popular series of books by Robert Lynn Asprin, used both the system for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as well as the RuneQuest variation of the BRP for character statistics, representing the two most popular game systems of the time.[6]
Rules system[edit]
BRP was developed from a core set of attributes similar to the original Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). Size, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Power, and Appearance (or Charisma) replaced the D&D norms. From that was evolved a structurally simulationist system. Therefore, hit points (which increase with experience in D&D) were based on the average of Size and Constitution and were functionally static for the life of the character. Skills, using a d100, rather than the D&D d20, were used to simulate the way that people learn skills. Experience points were replaced by an experience check, rolling higher than your current skill on a d100. This created a learning curve that leveled out the higher a skill was.
Whereas D&D merged armor with defense, BRP treated them as separate functions: the act of parrying was a defensive skill that reduced an opponent's chance to successfully land an attack, and the purpose of armor was to absorb damage. The last major element of many BRP games is that there is no difference between the player character race systems and that of the monster or opponents. This element is shared with and originated in Tunnels and Trolls. By varying ability scores, the same system is used for a human hero as a trollish villain. This approach also led quickly, as it did in T&T, to players playing a wide range of non-human characters and game worlds that were deeply pluralist.
Licensed games[edit]
Chaosium was an early adopter of licensing out its BRP system to other companies, something that was unique at the time they began but rather commonplace now thanks to the d20 licenses.[7] This places the BRP in the notable position of being one of the first products to allow other game companies to develop games or game aids for their work. Companies such as Green Knight and Pagan Publishing earliest works were built to support Chaosium's games.
Other, non-Chaosium games have used BRP for its core rules. For example, Other Suns, published by Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU), used them under license.
BRP was used (through a special arrangement with Swedish Fredrik Malmberg) as the base for the highly successful Swedish game Drakar och Demoner from Target Games.
BRP was also licensed to Oriflam in France to create a French language second edition of the Hawkmoon game called Hawkmoon, Nouvelle Edition. This version was an adaptation of the mechanics seen in the newer Elric! game, adding new rule systems specific to the setting (e.g. Mutations and 'Weird Science').
BRP was also licensed to Japanese companies. BRP games in Japanese are Houkago Kaiki Club (1997, school life and horror, Hobby Japan), Genom Seed (2004, mutant action, Shinkigensha) and Taitei no Ken RPG (2007, SciFi-jidaigeki, based on movie of the same title, Shinkigensha).
The BRP itself has been the recipient, via its games, of many awards. Most notable was the 1981 Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Rules for Call of Cthulhu.[8] Other editions of Call of Cthulhu have also won Origins Awards including the Hall of Fame award. The BRP Character Generation software has also won awards for its design.

Over a century of tradition and history fill this 19th century property with romance and legend. First constructed as a residence (a farmhouse), this property became a popular neighborhood tavern and gathering place after the residence was sold. In 1984, it was purchased by its present owners and it has operated as a restaurant and a forum for theatrical productions and music performances. The building is presently developed as a 125-seat restaurant/theatre with a liquor license, walk-in refrigeration, electrical service and handicapped entry and restrooms. The architecture is dramatic with a glass roof across the entire width of the street-level part of the building.
