How to get a job as a digital marketer
Look up from your own computer or phone to survey the people around you engaging with the digital world. Of course this is purely anecdotal evidence, but it quickly supports the idea that the digital economy is booming. Digital marketing is just one of the fast growing industries. How can you get a gig in the field?
As with most anything, there is an abundance of advice available on this topic. We thought we'd focus on what might help someone gain a position at an agency such as Ironpaper. Here are some tips on how to get a job as a digital marketer:
Be current
The digital economy is an ever-shifting industry that demands innovation. An individual looking to be successful as a digital marketer needs to be willing to learn and passionate about keeping on top of industry disruptions.
Set yourself out as a contender with a solid understanding first of what's going on right now in search engine optimization (SEO), pay per click (PPC) advertising, social media, and content marketing.
"Understanding metrics on the web is key. The Internet provides so many ways of analyzing user behavior, and knowing how to gather and interpret data is important for success. Read widely and learn the lingo." — Barnes & Noble assistant marketing manager in Mashable
Do your research
Some great starting points include Moz and Search Engine Land for SEO, Google Adwords and Analytics for PPC, Hootsuite Academy for social media, and Hubspot for content marketing.
You'll need to know the acronyms (e.g. SEM, CMS, UX, and CRM) and understand how to implement current best practices. Keep in mind, though, digital marketing success is not going to come only from doing what's been done before well, but also from introducing new ideas and approaching problems in fresh ways.

Get comfortable with analytics
An advantage of digital marketing campaigns is the ability to analyze data to understand what has worked and what needs tweaking. There are many metrics to measure when tracking certain elements of a campaign or success with particular target audiences. If numbers scare you, get over it or begin looking at another career path.
Pursue your own marketing
It won't do to simply enter an interview or client meeting and parrot the latest wisdom of Seth Godin, Rand Fishkin, Ann Handley, or Joe Pulizzi (yes, you should look them up). Build your own personal brand (e.g. through blogging, social media, a web presence) to gain hands-on marketing experience. Offer to market a friend's business or volunteer with a non-profit that could use some digital assistance. These kinds of projects enhance your credibility and show you have experimented with best practices and can drive success.
A successful digital marketer doesn't only know how to use Google Adwords or write a killer SEO-friendly blog. Digital marketing companies are going to be looking for people equipped to implement strategy, liaise with clients, write marketing content, analyze campaign success, and more. A basic knowledge of coding and graphic design aren't going to hurt either.
Get Certified
There are many courses and certifications related to digital marketing available for free online. Some certifications are renewable annually while others will last a lifetime. A starting point might be:
- Earning Hubspot's Inbound Marketing Certificate
- Completing the Google Adwords Exam
- Gaining Google Analytics Individual Qualification
- Google Tag Manager Certification
- Hootsuite certification
Certification helps prove your seriousness about getting into the industry and demonstrates foundational experience in the field.

Tips for improving trade show ROI using inbound marketing
Paying to sponsor a trade show is not a silver bullet technique for driving positive ROI from such events.
Simply attending the event isn't enough either. Trade shows are expensive. Although trade shows can be great for training and educating team members, their marketing ROI can be questionable. Businesses can enhance their trade show ROI by employing strategic inbound marketing before, during, and after the event.
Before the Show
- Research the audience. Inbound success requires a deep understanding of the target audience. A business that goes to a trade show thinking that a brightly colored booth and free mints is all the audience wants is unlikely to see the same ROI as one that has done its research in advance. What, truly, will attract the various buyer personas to the booth? What communication strategies will demonstrate value to customers with their varied buying habits?
- Set goals. Before leaving for the trade show, set clear, quantifiable goals that can be answered with a "yes" or "no." For instance, lead generation may be the target, so the question would be to generate a concrete number of sales leads. Define realistic goals, setting arbitrary goals can do more harm than good.
- Tout participation. Write blogs and articles related to the show theme, presentations your people are involved in, or advancing the product or service you'll be releasing. If you have a booth, encourage others to engage in particular ways at particular times with specific CTA recommendations in advance. Prepare giveaways and demos that speak to the value of your product/services–don't simply address features and pricing.
- Join the show conversation. The conference or show organizers, too, will be working to generate buzz about the event on social media. Follow those communications, employ the same hashtags in some of your postings, and even use the like/follow/retweet/share activity on your postings to identify possible contacts you want to make at the conference. For instance, invite a COO who likes a tweet about the company's participation on a securing the IoT panel to speak face-to-face after the panel or stop by the booth. Lead generation from social media can be a vital tract for trade show marketing efforts.
During the Show
- Be a subject expert. Inbound marketing efforts focus on attracting, educating, and delighting the target audience. Trade show visitors, in particular, are looking to be informed. They want to know what is new and exciting. They want to connect with experts that can become a valuable resource. Be ready to provide useful content, provide valuable takeaways, and build trusting relationships by offering credible information.
- Enter leads into the CRM software. Set up an app or kiosk mobile device to enable booth visitors to enter their details. Any contacts that are added (independently or by booth workers) should identify the trade show as the source or referrer. This will help group and identify particular events and their contributions to lead and profit generation.
- Leverage social media. Use social media channels to engage and reach out to show attendees. During the show it can be difficult to think of doing anything else but meeting and greeting, but some of the social media can be prescheduled. Also set aside some time to see who is checking in at the show on Facebook or FourSquare and respond to Twitter or Instagram. Or line up a staffer back at the office to take on this task.
- Demonstrate engagement. When a conference or show participant appears in a panel or attends a workshop or keynote, use real-time posting of quotes and photos to involve followers in the proceedings. This can be used to educate, inform and delight current followers and drive an increase of followers among others attending the conference. Be sure to use the identified conference or show tag in posting.
Related reading: B2B Social Media Marketing Statistics 2016
After the Show
- Continue the conversation. Upon return (and recovery) from the event, follow up directly with individual panelists or presenters with articles from your content database relevant to their discussion. You might even create a list of followers who you gained from the show and share relevant content over social media with this segmented group.
- Create post event content and share socially. Create useful and helpful content that cites topics and learnings taken directly from the trade show or conference agenda. Reference speakers and provide links to presentations from the trade show. Focus your post event content on being helpful, educational and tapped into the heart of the topics presented.
- Score the leads. Not every name entered into the database following the trade show is going to be a qualified lead. Use lead scoring tools to qualify leads based on their behavioral and demographic data, as well as your company's past experiences dealing with various types of buyers. Qualifying leads will be more effective if the scoring is determined by an aligned sales and marketing team working together.
Related reading: What is Lead Scoring
- Nurture qualified leads. Businesses might use marketing automation to send a first email to leads from the trade show 7-10 days after the event. Then, schedule two or more additional emails with valuable content to nurture leads into conversions.
Related reading: The Importance of Lead Nurturing and Scoring
- Track the leads. Follow the trade show contacts through their journey to determine if they are converting. This will help the company to measure the value of connections produced from trade show appearances.
- Keep tracking. This is not a one-time metric to consult. A contact from a trade show may take weeks or months to make buying decisions.
Trade shows are a significant investment of time and capital. Many companies invest heavily in trade shows and conferences and feel disappointed afterwards with the results. The inbound techniques presented in this article can supplement event marketing can help the business determine extend the value of trade show investments.

Place ActiveWrap thermal packs flat in freezer with nylon pouch for minimum 2 hrs before using (small packs) or 4 hours for large size packs. When ready to use remove from freezer and let stand for several minutes prior to use. Ice down for max of 15 minutes per treatment. Extended time does not equal better results. * You only have to remove the pack from the nylon sleeve for heating otherwise simply toss in the freezer pouch and all for total conveinence.
*If you are using our ActiveWrap Knee,Shoulder, Hip, or Back Wraps these models are equipped with our new D.L.P. design. You can increase or decrease the heat/cold intensity by simply slipping your pack behind the D.L.P. divider located inside every pouch (See image below for detail) .
Sensitive skin individuals and/or elderly patients should opt to ice with a thin paper towel or fabric between skin and the pouch. Also if you are icing an area that is typically leaner on skin, muscle, or fat tissue, use additional caution and take care not to lean your body weight against the pack during use for prolonged periods of time.
Remove pack from nylon sleeve and immerse in a shallow microwave safe container filled with warm/hot water (enough to cover the pack). Small Packs- Heat for 30 seconds (1200watt microwave) until pack achieves warm temperature. Reheat in 10 sec intervals and repeat up to 1.5 min max.
Large packs heat 45 seconds in microwaves of 1200w or higher. Reheat in 10 sec intervals to achieve desired temp up to a max of 1.5 minutes.
Pack DOES NOT need to be extremely hot in order to be effective as it works in conjunction with wrap and body heat. Upon removing from microwave, empty hot water out and test pack for heat following all precautions as per each pack. Since microwaves vary, more or less time may be required to heat to desired temperature. Increase or decrease in intervals of 10 seconds.
Moist Heat Option- add a folded wet paper towel and insert into pouch between nylon and the pack. When using the DLP this is a nice feature as you can slip the paper towel in the top slot closest to skin and slip a heat pack underneath the moist towel in the bottom slot.
Non-Microwave Alternatives- Place packs (without the nylon cover) in hot water for 7-8 minutes time. Do not heat over an open flame or boil. Remove from water, test heat and insert into nylon pouches.
Note: Overheating pack will reduce the lifespan of the product. Replace ActiveWrap® packs every 2-3 years depending on usage. All Items available through activewrap.com.
Slide pack behind divider for less cold or place in front for more cold. Pack is then tucked neatly away under the envelope fold. The DLP design provides up
to a 5 degree F variance. (* DLP is currently not available in Wrist,Foot or Elbow models but coming soon).

I had someone ask me about rebloomers for New Orleans. She said that
it is Zone 8b. I think that should be easy but I wanted to ask if
there are any problems with rebloomers or irises in that area. (I'm
worried it might turn out to be a problem like Florida)
If anyone has warnings about that area or particular rebloomers that
just hate it there, I'd sure appreciate it.
I also want to thank everybody for their support. Betty, you are
right, it was a fantastic experience to meet everyone at Memphis! I
couldn't ask for a better group of people.
Yes, I am very addicted to irises. (I think my daughters will scream
if they hear me say iris one more time today)Too bad.

School Board Recognition Week
School Board Recognition Week set for February 20-24
Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Public School — The Minnesota School Boards Association has set February 20-24 as School Board Recognition Week in Minnesota as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. Waubun-Ogema-White Earth School District is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate School Board Recognition Week to honor local board members for their commitment to our community and its children.
"It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level," Lisa Weber said. "They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect."
Weber said the key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by:
• Creating a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority;
• Establishing standards for what students will be expected to learn and be able to do;
• Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the district's goals are achieved and students are learning at expected levels;
• Being accountable for their decisions and actions by continually tracking and reporting results;
• Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach;
• Forming partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and
• Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to student achievement.
"School board members give the Waubun-Ogema-White Earth citizens a voice in education decision making. Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in February, their contribution is a year-round commitment."
The members serving our district and their years of service are as follows:
Christie Haverkamp Board Chair 6 years
Allan Haugo Vice Chair 12 years
John Zima Treasurer 4 years
Stacy Bly Clerk 6 years
Terry Dorman Director Newly Elected
Mark Rothschadl Director 10 years
Jon Syverson Director 6 years

"People don't know what they don't know until they don't know it," says Det. Michael Fazio of the Bloomington (Ill.) Police Department's cybercrime unit.
He speaks from experience. About eight years ago, the 150-man department found itself facing a homicide it couldn't solve because the evidence and the suspect's alibi resided on a computer.
"At that time we knew enough to go get the computer. However, we didn't know what to do with it," Fazio recalls.
Three regional labs in the state could analyze the evidence but estimated it would take two years. Investigators finally called the U.S. Attorney's Office for help and had the computer analyzed more quickly to disprove the suspect's alibi.
In an effort to prevent this situation from happening again, the city manager and Bloomington PD put money and time behind developing an internal digital forensics unit.
Fazio predicts there are many departments operating as the Bloomington PD did before 2004, and that worries him. "A lot of departments don't even realize they have an issue," he says. "About 80% of everything a person deals with touches something digital. And, if the individual is touching something digital, he or she is leaving evidence behind."
But as troubled economic conditions dramatically slash police budgets and reduce officer counts, it is difficult for many departments to justify putting financial muscle behind digital forensics.
There is some good news in all of this-a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. "A lot of digital crime scenes are turning into portable devices, aka cell phones. The tools needed to retrieve data from those devices are not as expensive as what's used in traditional computer forensics. And 70% of the time data can be retrieved from them by someone with minimal training," says Tom Eskridge, partner at High Tech Crime Institute Group, a Florida company devoted to providing cybercrime training to law enforcement.
Triage Is Where It's At
In 1999, the FBI proclaimed it would handle the entire country's digital forensics needs and set up regional computer forensics labs (RCFLs) across the country. These labs extract and analyze data from any kind of digital evidence, but the demand is high and the turnaround slow.
"The average turnaround time for a computer is 13 months," says Eskridge, who calls the current system, where agencies send out digital evidence for processing, broken. "It's like everyone with a paper cut going to see a trauma surgeon," he says. "We have to start triaging digital evidence if we are going to be successful."

Wrap-up and Ready to Take Action!
Having worked for 26 years in Corporate IT, I learned how to support large corporate clients, generate profits for my employer and develop skills to lead large teams to 'deliver to a contract'. My efforts however, were about building someone else's business, not my own.
I was exchanging my time for a salary ... there had to be a better way.
Transforming now to an entrepreneur, I am using my business and leadership skills to help teams of people around the world develop their own business. The exchange now is 'time and passion for a residual income'.
From my experience in the IT industry, I have established my own company from which I assist organisations to manage their IT systems. I also run a successful eCommerce business which helps people save money online for their everyday purchases. The eCommerce business offers entrepreneurs to do what I do and generate passive residual income.
For the first time in my life, I have documented my personal values, goals and my own business plan. As an entrepreneur my efforts and skills are being utilised to develop my own company. My future is in my own hands.

What did I just say jackass? What a dope!<quoted text>
The argument is moot, Homosexuals already can marry, in many states, hundreds of thousands are legally married now
I dont care about poly marriage that is Frankies obsession not mine. Poly marriage is not about to be made legal in the next couple of decades, religious fanatics following that path have made certain of that.
but for same sex marriage, it is already a reality, and it has not hurt heterosexual marriages one tiny little bit.
It is a moot argument
You consider poly my "obsession", and "off topic", and not reality only because you fear discussing it.
What do you have against three atheist men marrying? How will it hurt you or your marriage?

Jam Oysters . . .
I can remember my good friend Jacquie telling me, before I ever came over here to England, that they had the loveliest bake shops and cakes over here, and indeed, she was right! My first trip over I was only here for three weeks, but I was amazed at all the baked goodies on offer.
One of the first places Todd took me was to a little bakeshop in Chester for toast in the mornings. I was staying in a room at a boarding house run by a lady from our church, and she was letting me stay there for free, so I didn't want to bother her for breakfast or anything like that in the mornings, so Todd would show up every morning about 9 to pick me up and we would hike into downtown Chester and have a hot chocolate and some toast at one of the small bake shops next to the Chester city walls.
Why does toast always taste so good when someone else makes it for you? Just the smell is enough to bring you running. But, I digress . . . bakeshops . . .
After I moved to England and was living here full time. I used to take myself off several mornings a week to the lovely market they have in downtown Chester . There were tons of stalls there, all full of lovely things to buy. You could get fresh meats and fish, beautiful vegetables, toiletries, candies, cards . . . you name it, they had it.
At the cheese man's stall I used to buy bags of cheese crumbs, two for 99 pence and bring them home to make lovely macaroni cheese, cauliflower cheese and cheese on toast. From the bake stall I would bring home delicious viennese short cakes and lovely apple crumble bars, not to mention some lovely sweet buns that were filled with thick custard and cream, all dusted with icing sugar on top.
Britain has lots of lovely sweets, cakes and puddings to enjoy. There seems to be no end to the variety. There are delicious delicacies such as Eccles Cakes and Treacle Tart, and lets not forget Battenburg Cakes and the ever lovely Victoria sponge. Mr Kipling puts out a lovely bunch of store bought varieties of all the British favourites, but let me tell you, nothing can come close to lovely tea time treats you make on your own from scratch at home . . .
I adapted this recipe from a small booklet I picked up at the grocery store one time. Be-Ro Flour Home Recipes, 40th Edition. They are really delicious. There's only one left and it's got my name on it! Cakes are good for breakfast, right? This one has fruit in it! (ok . . . so it's jam . . . )
*Jam Oysters*
Makes 18
Printable Recipe
Not only are these a real treat for the eyes, but they are delicious as well. They look complicated but they really are very easy to put together.
175g (6 oz) of prepared shortcrust pastry (make your own or use ready made)
2 ½ ounces of butter
2 ½ ounces of caster sugar
3 ounces ground almonds
1 medium egg, beaten
Few drops of almond essence
Raspberry jam
Butter cream icing
Icing sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 190*C/375*F. Roll out the pastry thinly and cut into rounds, using a 3 inch fluted pastry cutter. Use this to line 18 patty tins.
Cream the butter together with the sugar until fluffy and well incorporated. Stir in the ground almonds, beaten egg and the almond essence. Mix well.
Place a small spoonful of the almond mixture into each pastry case. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until set and nicely browned.
Remove from the oven to a rack to cool. Once they are thoroughly cooled, carefully remove the almond filling with a knife. Fill the pasty cases with the jam and pipe a bit of butter cream on top of each. Replace the almond filling on top, dust with icing sugar, and serve.

England will face a goalkeeper determined to prove his detractors wrong in Wednesdays World Cup qualifier against Poland. By Jonathan Northcroft
EVER since Jan Tomaszewski defied Sir Alf Ramsey and his side at Wembley in 1973 to win a retrospective Tartan Army Player of the Year award from Scotland fans, Polish goalkeepers have held a certain notoriety for Englishmen. Jerzy Dudek is so — there is no other word for it — nice that he is impossible to dislike.
The Liverpool player believes, however, that he has detected some resentment towards him on these shores. "It is a tough competition between me and Chris Kirkland to be Liverpool's No 1," he says. "The English press like to see him in goal

"I bought these for my daughter to wear as an orphan in the musical Annie. She never complained of her feet hurting and she was on her feet a lot. Now she wears them for riding lessons and around the barn."

Thanks for helping!
Had a lovely tasty meal here last night. Simple, well made Italian food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very keenly priced.
Had fabulous food, from start to finish the pulled pork was delicious. The dessert was also fab. Could not fault it. We were served by a your guy and blonde girl both were very helpful and friendly. There was an older girl there who was extremely rude if she had been our server I wouldn't have been inclined to return,...
We had tried to eat here a few times recently but it was booked out every time. This time we reserved a table the evening before and finally got in!! The menu was improved from the last time with fresh and tasty food for every course. I was very impressed and both of us were very happy with our choices....
I haven't been for a long long time but a few weeks ago we stopped in for a quick bite and we were not disappointed. Because of that been back 3 times alone in last 5 weeks. Great selection on menu. Worth a stop off.
This is a great place for get together with friends. The menu and prices are great. The food is delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. Service is super!
Was travelling and stopped here due to other reviews. Safe to say it did not dissappoint. Great menus, both food and wine. Service was wonderful also but the food was undoubtedly the highlight, as it should be. Pulled pork burger was to die for!! Will 100% be back next time I'm in the area.
BBQ Pizza was fab, crispy base and really tasty, friend had had spicy chicken tagliatelle she loved it, great chocolate n peanut dessert, fast and efficient service from friendly staff, first time there but will be back, thanks.
Chose Pepes after reading other reviews. Casual restaurant which suited us on a wet night. Lots of choice on the menu. Pizza's were very good. Good wine choice also.
Food is very tasty, but takeaway lasagne portion is ridiculous. Lasagne and chips is just over €10, and the portion of lasagne may as well have been for a 3 year old. It doesn't even 2/3 fill the container. This is the 3rd time to the past few months that I've got the lasagne, and it's always been the same,...
I like this place, food is always tasty, burgers are good. May be a little expensive for the type of food served but it's never a disappointment.

In this week's Game Rant Open Discussion, we're discussing the PlayStation VR launch, Destiny, Red Dead Revolver, and more! Come on in and join the conversation!
The weather may be getting colder by the week, but this was a red-hot week in terms of gaming news. Between the launch of Gears of War 4 and the PlayStation VR headset, fans from either side of the console war have had no shortage of content to explore, and it's not like PC or mobile gamers have been left out of the party. Now that Friday has arrived, it's a great time for the Game Rant Open Discussion!
For anyone unfamiliar with the weekly thread, the Game Rant Open Discussion is a place where our readers can get together and discuss whatever they'd like to talk about. While videogames are an obvious common ground that has brought us all together here, any topic is welcome in the Open Discussion – so whether someone wants to humble-brag about how far they've walked for Pokemon GO or simply discuss the best way to bake a burrito (why are you baking that?), this is the place to do it.
To help kickstar the discussion, we've taken the liberty of rounding up a few interesting topics from the past week. This week, our recommended readings include the PlayStation VR launch, Red Dead Revolver, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, and more!
PlayStation VR Officially Launches
This week Sony's Playstation VR headset has officially launched, offering a catalog of 27 different VR titles for its launch week. Sony will be hoping that its entrance into the mainstream virtual reality industry will appease the wide market of consumers who may not be able to afford costly hardware like the Oculus Rift, a device which the PlayStation VR certainly beats from a perspective of price.
So far, the PlayStation VR has impressed despite the fact that is boasts less powerful technical specifications than prominent PC-based headsets. It hasn't taken long for gamers to use the headset beyond its intended purpose, and analysts are predicting a healthy-looking 1.4 million sales for Sony's headset by the time the next calendar year arrives. Only time will tell if the PlayStation VR will go down as an integral stepping stone to mainstream VR, but in any event nobody can say that Sony didn't do its part for attempting to push the burgeoning VR industry forward.
Are you interested in the PlayStation VR, ranters?
Red Dead Revolver Quietly Releases for PS4
Most gamers will remember the hubbub made when Red Dead Redemption was brought into the fold of Xbox One backward compatible titles, a move which prompted an unprecedented 6,000% increase in digital sales for the western title. Before Redemption, however, there was Red Dead Revolver. What the title lacked in a sandbox open world it made up for with memorable characters, intense and comparatively ridiculous boss battles, and some truly enjoyable card-heavy deathmatch multiplayer.
This week, Rockstar Games has quietly released Red Dead Revolver for the PlayStation 4, complete with improved visuals and support for the PS4's trophy system. Red Dead Revolver was a title that made our top list of PS2 games we'd love to see on the PS4, and many intrepid cowboys will undoubtedly be happy to have the classic Rockstar title on the platform. Red Dead Redemption may have overshadowed its predecessor in terms of reception and sales, but Red Dead Revolver is still quite an enjoyable title for those looking to scratch their western itch.
Destiny's New Raid Has Been Beaten in 23 Minutes
With the release of the Rise of Iron expansion for Destiny, it didn't take long for adventurous Guardians to take on the new Wrath of the Machine raid and put it through its paces. When a new World First team was crowned after being the first to complete the challenging raid, fans were so interested in seeing the raid for themselves that Destiny shot right back to the top of the Twitch charts. Now, another record has been broken: a redditor named GladHeAteHer182 and his team have broken the speedrun record for Wrath of the Machine, completing the challenge with an incredible time of 23 minutes and 20 seconds.
Similarly, a team of 3 Guardians recently completed a flawless run of the raid without anyone dying, while other intrepid players have managed to beat the raid's final boss without firing a shot. While we're certain at some point a streamer will beat the game using an unconventional controller (as is the norm), for now the standing speed record of just over 23 minutes looks like a hard gauntlet for any would-be record setter to best.
Destiny: Rise of Iron is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Friday The 13th: The Game Delayed To Include A Single Player Campaign
Yesterday, Gun Media confirmed something that fans have been pondering ever since Friday the 13th: The Game co-creator Wes Keltner spoke about how a single player campaign could work in the game. Gun Media confirmed that these thoughts are being put into practice, but the decision comes at a cost to fans hoping to see the game this year: Friday the 13th is officially being delayed to 2017, so that developer Illfonic has time to polish the new single-player campaign experience.
Now slated for a spring 2017 release (January 13th is a Friday, just so you know!), Friday the 13th: The Game will offer the new single-player content for free for anyone who backed the game on Kickstarter or pre-ordered the game. Everyone else will have to pay an additional $10 for the digital version of the game, which would brings the new total to $40. The price for the physical version of the game remains unchanged at $60.
Will you be creeping along Camp Crystal Lake, Ranters?
Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil is Coming Back for PC
In an era of remasters, ports, and compilations, it takes an exception to really stand out from the crowd of pixelated revivals and, sometimes, poorly-done cash-ins. There may just be one of these titles on the horizon, however, as Night Dive Studios has now confirmed that it is working on a port of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil for the PC. Night Dive Studios producer Daniel Grayshon provided the announcement in a brief statement on Steam, although any other details about the Turok port are being left for another day.
Grayshon didn't provide fans with any semblance of a release window, but did take the time to explain its absence: the studio's top priority is to make sure the development process for Turok 2: Seeds of Evil gets the respect it deserves, and it looks like the studio is aiming to slowly and methodologically port the title, rather than rush things and risk butchering the process. Fans experiencing an odd sense of deja vu about this announcement could be forgiven, considering that the sequel to Turok was slated for a PC release along with the original, but only the first game ever released. Night Dive Studios went quiet on the sequel until now, finally confirming that Seeds of Evil would indeed find its way to the PC – eventually.
Join The Conversation
As we've stated before, all of the above is just some recommended discussion pieces – gamers are free to talk about whatever they're keen to discuss, so long as whatever they're posting isn't entirely inappropriate. We'd like to keep the discussion accessible to readers of all ages, so please make sure any additions to the conversation don't contain any racy or inappropriate content.
Ranters can access the Open Discussion by clicking the gray 'Load Comments' button below, which will then reveal the most recent posts of the discussion. To those of you shouting 'New OD' in last week's Open Discussion, it's time to get current!

"Let Me Tell You About the Birds and Bees"
Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Apr 27, 2013
I have this guy outside my bedroom who demonstrates constantly that his is the guy, using a constant and consistent chirp. I have no idea what type of bird he is, let alone if his dating pitch is leading to a coffee or something more.
Building nests is something I never understood about birds. Clearly it is instinctive for the female birds, and in some species along with the male.
I also admire birds with newly hatched chicks that they are able to find food and then provide it to the babies. I find it problematic to feed myself at times, let alone barf up what I ate to provide it to my kids.
Fortunately, my little birds are now young adults and seem to be doing fine without worms barfed up from me or their mother.
I will refrain from observations about empty nests and those that remain to be built.
