< Frieza | Redirected from Freeza/Synopsis
this wiki
Early Life
Frieza has a large number of henchmen at his disposal, the strongest of which are Zarbon, Dodoria, and Cui. He also has an elite army called the Ginyu Special Force, and more special forces - such as Abo and Kado.
At some point prior to the series, Freeza had a child named Kuriza.Frieza got the Saiyans to work for him and sell planets to him, killing all their inhabitants to conquer them. When the Saiyans began getting stronger, Frieza feared that a Super Saiyan would rise up and destroy him, so he killed their king, King Vegeta, and destroyed their home planet, Planet Vegeta. Only a few Saiyans were not caught in the explosion, including Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and Son Goku (whose Saiyan name is Kakarot), the protagonist of the series.
Hunt for the Dragon Balls
When Raditz came to Earth and was defeated by Piccolo, he sent a message to Nappa and Vegeta about the Dragon Balls, via his scouter.Frieza heard the message, so he and his henchmen, including Zarbon and Dodoria, went over to Namek to get the Dragon Balls so he could wish for immortality. Frieza and his men killed the Namekians of five villages to get the Dragon Balls. However, at the fifth, the elder, Moori, destroyed all his men's scouters, preventing them from tracking down the Dragon Balls. Dodoria became separated from them while chasing down Krillin and Son Gohan, who intervened to save a Namek boy Dende from Dodoria. Dodoria never returned, as he was later attacked and killed by Vegeta.
Once he deduced that Dodoria was dead (and deeming him expendable anyways), Frieza headed back to his ship with his five Dragon Balls, leaving Zarbon and Appule to find the two remaining Dragon Balls. Zarbon ran into Vegeta and transformed into his monster form to defeat him, but Vegeta had previously attacked a Namek village and hidden its Dragon Ball. The village was discovered by Frieza's henchman Orlen, who was killed by Frieza for not finding out the location of the Dragon Ball (he killed the only survivor). Frieza instructed Zarbon to bring Vegeta to him and heal him to make him tell them where the Dragon Balls were.
Calling for the Ginyu Force
However, Vegeta killed Appule, broke out of Frieza's ship, and stole his five Dragon Balls. An enraged Frieza gave Zarbon one hour to find Vegeta or face execution. Though he transformed again, Zarbon was no match for Vegeta, who becomes stronger after each time he recovers from serious injuries. After Vegeta killed Zarbon and took the Dragon Ball that Krillin got from Guru, the Great Elder, Frieza summoned the Ginyu Special Force. The Ginyu Force - Recoome, Burter, Jeice, Guldo, and Captain Ginyu - arrived on Namek, and Jeice brought Frieza scouters.
Vegeta joined forces with Kuririn and Gohan, however Ginyu took all seven Dragon Balls from them and brought them to Frieza. Frieza tried to summon the eternal dragon, but as he did not know the Namekian password to summon him, he was unsuccessful. So he headed toward Guru's house to get the password from him, leaving Ginyu and his henchmen behind to guard the Dragon Balls. He flew right by Dende, whom Guru asked to tell Krillin and Gohan the password, but chose to ignore him for sake of time. He arrived at Guru's house where Nail, Namek's greatest warrior, told Frieza that if Guru dies, the Dragon Balls disappear.
Confronting NailTo prevent Frieza to cause anymore harm, Nail challenged Frieza to a battle. However, Freeza easily beat him up, until the Namekian revealed that his plan was to distract Frieza so Dende could give the Z Warriors the password. Enraged, Frieza immediately headed back to his spaceship, and was shocked to discover on his scouter that all the Ginyu Force had been killed (except for Ginyu, who had accidentally switched bodies with a frog).
The Battles with FriezaAn extremely angry Frieza arrived at the scene shortly after Gohan, Krillin, and Dende summoned the eternal dragon Porunga and wished Piccolo back to life before teleporting him to Namek, and after Porunga disappeared because Guru died at that moment. Frieza fought Vegeta and appeared evenly matched with him (if not at a slight advantage, seeing as how Vegeta was out of breath and Frieza was not), so Vegeta suggested that he transform, since Zarbon told him about it. Frieza transformed into his second form (which has a fighting power of one million) and impaled Krillin with his horn. This made Gohan angry, and he beat up Frieza. However, Frieza survived and attacked Gohan, until Krillin was healed by Dende and cut off Frieza's tail with a Kienzan, then distracted him so Dende could heal Gohan. As Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta went for a head-on attack, Piccolo came. Before appearing to fight Frieza, Piccolo fused with a badly injured Nail to increase his power, and was evenly matched with Frieza. This forced Frieza to reveal that he has two more forms and transformed into his third. He barraged Piccolo, but Gohan attacked him with a Masenko, using up all his power in the process. Frieza was incredibly angry at this point and decided that he would show them what he deemed to be the most terrifying thing in the universe, his final form. Frieza then transformed into his fourth form, however he witnessed Dende healing Piccolo, so after finishing his transformation, he killed Dende with a Death Beam to prevent him from healing anyone again. Vegeta, who had previously been injured by Krillin and healed by Dende (as his plan to become stronger, and maybe turn into a Super Saiyan) fought Frieza, but was simply unable to hit him. Frieza patiently waited until the Saiyan had fully realized the hopelessness of the situation and lost his will to fight. He then attacked Vegeta, slowly beating him to death, until Goku arrived, having fully recovered from his injuries from the fight with Ginyu. Frieza then killed Vegeta with a Death Beam through the chest, for no reason other than to shut him up about Goku being a Super Saiyan and how he would destroy Frieza.
Final battle with the Super Saiyan
Goku fought Frieza in an epic battle that took 19 episodes. At one point, Frieza said he would fight Goku without using his hands, but was forced to break the deal, as Goku gained the advantage after biting Frieza's tail (to prevent him from choking him). Frieza attacked by throwing rocks and chunks of land at Goku, and trapping him in an energy ball that would explode if it touched anything except Frieza. However, his one weakness was that he could not sense energy signals, and could not hit Goku unless he could see him.Goku and Frieza were evenly matched, until Frieza powered up to 50% of his maximum and beat up Goku. Goku tried Kaio-ken x20 and briefly regained the advantage, but Frieza survived, virtually untouched, and continued pounding Goku. With no other option, Goku gathered energy from Namek and the planets around it to form a Genki Dama. Once Frieza realized the danger he was in, he tried to kill Goku to stop him, but Piccolo attacked Frieza as a distraction. Frieza was about to destroy the Namekian, but when Goku's Genki Dama was complete, he fired it at Frieza. Frieza used all his might to fight off the powerful Genki Dama, but the projectile damaged him in the progress. Frieza somehow survived, however, though a portion of his tail was missing. He shot a Death Beam at Goku, but Piccolo took the hit and was seriously wounded. Frieza killed Kuririn afterwards, angering Goku so much that he transformed into a Super Saiyan. Ironically, Frieza had created the very thing he had so long feared and gone to such great lengths to eliminate. In this form, Goku gained the advantage over Frieza, so the extraterrestrial tyrant shot a Death Ball at the planetary core of Namek, which would inevitably cause it to explode. Frieza estimated five minutes, but five hours was more accurate (it took 10 episodes to blow up). Later, Frieza powered up to 100% of his maximum. Against the wishes of Kaio, Goku let Frieza reach his maximum so he would be sure that Freeza was beaten at his best and would never come back to haunt them.
Frieza managed to briefly regain his advantage over Goku. Eventually, the two went on a crash course, with Goku shooting a Kamehameha wave and Frieza charging at him with red energy. Though Goku appeared to be winning at first, Frieza jumped out of the Kamehameha wave and pounded Goku into the ground, knocking him into the lava. Gohan then returned to fight Frieza. Meanwhile, Mr. Popo collected the Earth's Dragon Balls and Kaio told Kami to tell him to wish back everyone killed by Frieza and his henchmen back to life. Krillin was unable to be resurrected, as he had already been wished back once, but Vegeta, Dende, Guru, and all the Namekians did.
Gohan used his hidden powers to gain the advantage over Frieza. As Frieza powered up again, Goku reemerged from the lava, having survived Frieza's attack. While fighting Frieza, Goku telepathically overheard Kaio's plan to use Porunga's last wish to teleport everyone on Namek to Earth except Frieza, and elected to stay behind to finish Frieza off. Guru told Dende to make the wish, however Frieza saw Porunga and got there first and started screaming for immortality. However, he did not know that one must speak the Namekian language to make a wish to Porunga, so when Dende made his wish, Porunga granted it and not Frieza's wish. Everyone on Namek was teleported to Earth except Goku and Frieza, who continued their battle.Frieza's strength decreased with every blow and Goku beat him up. At one point, he decided to spare the evil tyrant's life, knowing that Frieza could not win, because his 100% full power put tremendous stress on his body. However, Frieza attacked Goku with his Tsuibi Kienzan (a homing energy circle razor), unwilling to accept defeat, so Goku resumed the fight with him. During the fight, Frieza overlooked a Kienzan razor that was coming up behind him (in an attempt to chase after Goku) and chopped him in half, cutting his left arm off as well. Goku decided to leave Frieza to die on Namek, but Frieza begged him for his life, so Goku reluctantly gave him some of his own energy so that he could escape. Still unwilling to accept defeat, Frieza shot an energy blast at Goku as he attempted to leave. An extremely enraged Goku shot his own energy blast at Frieza and stopped him, ending the battle.
Return and first deathHowever, Frieza survived the attack (though Kaio believed him to be dead), and was caught in Namek's explosion (which Goku escaped), but survived it as well (though a huge chunk was missing from his head). His father, the wicked giant King Cold, found him drifting through space, barely alive, and had him made into a cyborg, even stronger than before. The minute he reawakened, he told his father to take him to Earth so he could blow it up as revenge on Goku. Frieza and King Cold arrived on Earth. Gohan, Kuririn (who was wished back with the Namek Dragon Balls), Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, and Chaozu went out to attempt to face him, even though they knew that he would defeat them easily. However, before Frieza could start his vengeance, Trunks appeared from the future. He killed all of Freeza's henchmen, but Frieza was not in the least bit intimidated - until Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan. After two failed attempts at destroying him, Frieza shot a giant Supernova energy ball at Planet Earth to blow it up. But Trunks caught it with one hand, so Frieza blew up the Supernova. Trunks was thought to be dead, but he escaped the explosion without so much as a scratch, and shot a Burning Attack at Frieza and King Cold. They dodged it, and then Trunks chopped Frieza vertically in half with his sword. He then sliced him to pieces and finished him off with an energy wave, reducing him to nothing more than dust and finally killing him at last. Trunks then killed King Cold just as easily.
Many years later, just before heading to Earth, the God of Destruction Beerus questioned his attendant Whis on the status of Freeza, with Whis explaining Frieza's defeats and death, and showing Beerus the fight between 50% Power Frieza and Super Saiyan Goku.
The Resurrection of Frieza
Works to both movie and Dragon Ball Super
For years after his defeat and death at the hands of the Super Saiyans, Frieza remained in Hell. Stripped of his powers and trapped in a cocoon dangling from a tree in a lush flower field, under a bright sun, surrounded with cherubic angels and stuffed animal singing joyfully and having a great time. The worst possible torture for such a sadistic, genocidal murderer. He would come to describe it as a nightmare like no other.
However, over a decade after his supposed final defeat, his minion Sorbet, who was running his army in his place, decided that it was time for them to revive Frieza. Sorbet and Tagoma went to Earth and obtained the Dragon Balls, wishing Frieza back to life.
Frieza returned to life in his cut-up mecha state and was immediately taken back to the ship to be placed in a rejuvenation chamber. The new chamber fully healed Frieza to his previous non-cybernetic state. After a discussion with his soldiers, resulting in the deaths of several who questioned him, including Tagoma. Frieza announced that he would have his revenge, and to do so would train for four months in order to increase his power to a level on par with the Super Saiyan Gods and Gods of Destruction - which he believed himself capable of thanks to being a prodigy.
The tyrant was correct, and upon his arrival to Earth with 1,000 warriors, his mere first form was noted as being in a completely different league altogether from even the likes of Super Namek Piccolo and Super Saiyan Gohan. After his army fails to defeat the Z Warriors he wipes them all out with a Death Cannon.Goku and Vegeta then arrive, and Frieza and Goku begin fighting, with Frieza going straight to his newly mastered final form, and Goku using his Saiyan beyond God form (his base form, but with the power of Super Saiyan God). Goku has a clear advantage and manages to avoid being damaged at all by Frieza, even when the tyrant attacks with his Golden Death Ball. The two then both reveal that they have been holding back. Goku reveals his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form, and Frieza counters by revealing his Ultimate Evolution: Golden Frieza, the two then begin fighting again. As the fight goes on, Golden Frieza is clearly shown to be dominating the fight - without even bothering to use his full power or fight seriously, as he easily smacks around Goku, injuring the Saiyan greatly while not even getting a single scratch to his own frame. He proves his superiority by increasing his power and releasing an energy cutter beam which, despite not even hitting Goku, has enough power in its aftershock to knock him off his feet and damage him. Frieza, Goku, and Vegeta then stop for a brief talk, with Goku revealing that he has noticed that Frieza's power is dropping rapidly. Frieza angrily realizes that this is true and begins to fight seriously, however, Goku begins using evasive tactics to cause Frieza to waste his energy. Eventually, Golden Frieza's power drops so much so that he is unable to damage Goku with his hits. At this point, Goku easily knocks him down with a God Kamehameha wave. However, while Goku has his guard down, Frieza signals Sorbet who shoots Goku in the heart with a surprise shot, grievously wounding him. After torturing Goku, Frieza asks Vegeta to be the one to kill Goku and in exchange, Frieza will make him supreme commander of his army, Vegeta declines and has Krillin give Goku a Senzu bean, also killing Sorbet by reflecting an attack that was aimed at Krillin at him. Vegeta then reveals that he too possess a Super Saiyan God SS form and easily defeats his severely drained former master.
Frieza, his energy gone, reverts to his final form, however as Vegeta is about to finish him off, Frieza detonates the planet entirety of Earth, killing Vegeta and every one else on the planet. The only survivors are those that Beerus and Whis saved with an energy shield. Whis tells Goku that he is willing to rewind time so that Goku can defeat Frieza like he should have when he had the chance. Goku obliges and they go back to just as Frieza is about to detonate the planet, Super Saiyan God SS Goku leaps out and hits Frieza with a God Kamehameha wave, saving the Earth.
Frieza is sent back in Hell, and to his horror is welcomed back by the angels. He screams in rage and despair at his return to his torment and that he failed his mission.

CEO SPEAK: Let's focus on the men instead
It's International Women's Day and as I read the morning newspaper and flip through television channels, every media platform is talking about women and their transforming role in society – women leaders, women celebrities, amazing feats achieved by amazing women, challenges being faced by them and the promise of an empowered womanhood.
Completely engrossed in these captivating stories, I asked my daughter, a high school student, what she thought of the impact that these amazing women had on society. I was caught completely off guard by her reply. She said: Women have always known the powerful impact that they have on society. It is the men that we should focus on instead – their acceptance, or the lack of it, of the role of women in transforming their lives and their world.
It set me thinking. She was so right. The spotlight was on the wrong side. We men are moulded all through our lives by women. In our families for sure, but also across all our points of interaction in society. Women who have had a powerful influence on us and have nurtured us into who we are today. We need to think about and internalize this impact instead.
Without a doubt, it would begin with my mother, a lady whose strength lay less in words than in deed. She gave us our space and allowed each of her children to find their own feet and path in life; but she also knew what she would not allow. Quietly, she instilled values of hard work, discipline and humility without making a big deal about it.
At school, my teacher, a lady who I still hold in high esteem – not just for the knowledge she imparted, but her ability to make us dream big – taught us to look beyond the obvious, to find solutions that were not immediately evident. She taught us to imagine what lay beyond the mountains that rose before us and then equipped us with the skills that would hold us in good stead when we actually ventured out to see what really lay there.
Once I moved out of my parents' house and got married, my wife became a pillar of support, standing by and supporting me through my errors and follies, with an unwavering confidence in my ability to find my goal. And today, my daughter and her vision of the world, is teaching me to look at life afresh.
But these were just inside the house. Looking around, I can think of innumerable women who have influenced my thinking as well as my professional path. As I set out on the uncharted waters of a career, my journey has been impacted by the admirable confidence of women – seniors, peers, colleagues and clients. In the early days of my professional journey, there were a growing number of women, pioneering their way through emerging fields in business. I recollect this self-assured lady, among the few senior managers in IT those days, who was completely oblivious to the reservations the establishment had about her professional capabilities. She was sharp and meticulous, giving nobody a chance to take her role lightly, just because she was a lady. She truly taught us that we could prove doubting Thomases wrong simply by our achievements rather than any theoretical arguments. This lesson has kept me in good stead as we went through the first round of doubts of our Employee First philosophy in recession.
Today, my young women colleagues are weaving their personal and professional lives with élan, without compromising on their goals on either. They are as responsible about their roles are daughter, wives, mothers as they are about their professional commitments as team members, managers or leaders.
Everywhere I look, I see women quietly going about their business, completely sure of the direction they want to take individually and collectively with their organisation and society – leaving the noise about how their role has transformed to the rest of us.
On International Women's Day, I'd like to say is kudos to these champions who have taught us many a crucial lesson in our lives, and more power to womanhood and its unparalleled ability to transform our world. But I would also like to ask my male colleagues: Think about the role that women have played in your lives. How have they influenced your lives? What lessons have you drawn from them?
Our former Vice Chairman & former Joint Managing Director engages with stakeholders through his blog, 'In Search of New Leaders' at www.vineetnayar.com
His ideas and thoughts on sustainability, innovation, diversity and leadership are shared regularly through this platform.

Welcome to Herrington High
At Herrington High School, teachers and students alike begin to act rather strange. A group of students from different social circles must stick together despite their differences in order to figure what is going on in their small town, and ultimately survive. What they aren't prepared for is the supernatural creatures that are quietly taking over the minds and bodies of their fellow peers, teacher and students alike. Will this group of misfits save the school and possible the world from an und
Herrington High School; there was nothing extraordinary about the medium-sized school or the students that attended it. Academically it fell in the middle of the road for the state of Ohio, and football was the only stand-out sport as far extracurricular activities were concerned.
"This is a football town," Ms. Drake, the forty year old female principal emphasized again and again. She was no fool the amount of money the school received due to the massive number of parents, students and other townspeople that attend the games on Friday nights.
Casey was not one of those who benefitted from the team's athletic prowess. He was a self-proclaimed geek, and while there was a part of him that envied the bulky jocks who waltzed by him daily with maroon jerseys draped over blue jeans, he was perfectly content eating lunch alone and reading Science Weekly magazines in his spare time.
There was one thing, however, that Casey envied the most about the jocks of Herrington High it was their ability to get a girl. For Casey, it wasn't just any girl; it was Delilah.
Delilah was something special to Casey, though their conversations had always been super-short if at all throughout the four years of high school and three years of middle-school that they'd known each other. As a senior she had won the head cheerleader position and surprise, surprise was dating the school's quarterback, Stan.
Aside from his occasional bouts of jealousy, Casey didn't mind Stan. He said hello to him in the hallways, didn't ask to cheat off his tests and most of all didn't take part in the weekly hazing of ramming him into the flagpole.
Still, Casey dreamed of trading places with Stan, and he would quite literally stomp over him in the mud in order to do so.
Just another Thursday morning, Casey thought to himself as the bus he rode to school came to a complete stop in front of his nemesis - the flag pole. He glanced around at the freshmen and sophomores around him and silently loathed himself. God, my parents need to get me a car.
"Have a good day," the bus driver said as Casey and the others piled off the bus.
"You too." He slung one strap of his hefty, gray book-bag over his shoulder and headed down the set of four or five stairs that led to the asphalt. No sooner than his feet landed on school property, an elbow flew into his nose, sending Casey to the ground.
"Sorry." A sarcastic, male voice filled the air and laughter accompanied the unsuspecting assault.
Casey laid on the pavement for a moment, putting a hand up toward his face where blood began to flow from his nose. "My mistake," he said quietly before standing up and heading toward the stairs that led up to the building he dragged himself to every morning.
A tall, messy-haired super-senior with a bad-boy reputation eyed him as he walked up and held a hand out with a wad of Dunkin Donuts napkins.
Why is Zeke helping me out? Casey wondered, but took the napkins and put them up to his nose before slinking into the boy's bathroom just inside the double-doors that welcomed him into the school.
Another day at Herrington starts off great, Casey thought to himself, can things get any worse?
He rushed into the handicapped stall in the back of the lavatory and proceeded to clean up his face.
"To my office gentlemen." The door to the bathroom opened and closed and Casey recognized the voice. It was Zeke. He hoped he hadn't followed him in to make fun him, or even aid in the hazing that went on almost every day.
"You got us the fake IDs, right?" another male voice asked.
"Fifty bucks," Zeke said dryly.
Casey listened as the boys shuffled through their bags, before an apparent exchange was made.
"That's not me," a third voice chimed in, "That doesn't even look like me."
"Trust me, boys," Zeke said, "I'm brilliant. If these don't score you booze this weekend then I'll give you a full refund."
"What happens when we get arrest?"
"I'm brilliant," Zeke repeated, and then laughed, "I'll throw in a couple hits of this for free, what do you say?"
Casey peeked out of a small crack in the bathroom stall and saw Zeke handing several ballpoint pens to the boys that were filled with a white, powdery substance.
"It's my own recipe," Zeke claimed, "Guaranteed to jack you up."
Casey ducked back in the stall and shook his head, tossing some bloody tissues into the toilet before pressing more against his swollen nose. He slunk down in the corner of the stall and sat listening to the minor drug exchange going on. When Zeke and the others had left he crept out of the stall, washed his hands and prepared for what was the start of what would lead to a crazy few days at Herrington High School.

We have to deal with this new type of threat in a way we haven't yet defined. . . . With a low-probability, high-impact event like this . . . If there's a one percent chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response.
The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people. I mean, these are terrorists for the most part. These are people that were captured in the battlefield of Afghanistan or rounded up as part of the Al Qaeda network. We've already screened the detainees there and released a number, sent them back to their home countries. But what's left is hard core.
We're fighting a war on terror because the enemy attacked us first, and hit us hard. ... Al Qaeda's leadership has said they have the right to kill four million Americans,... For nearly six years now, the United States has been able to defeat their attempts to attack us here at home. Nobody can guarantee that we won't be hit again. ...

While my other blog series have fallen by the wayside (I promise I will finish my backlog sooner or later), I'm still chugging along with the favorite games list. Here's this week's five.
180. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - PS1
Soul Reaver combines hack and slash combat a la God of War with puzzle solving somewhat reminiscent of Ocarina of Time, and it is awesome. The puzzles can be real head scratchers, as not only do they require the same kind of object manipulation as a Zelda game but many require you to phase in and out of the spectral realm as well. The combat was pretty brutal for it's time, and I could never get enough of the spear impalements.
The story is quite good and the voice acting is top notch. Raziel and Kain are both great characters, and they really made me wish that I had spent more time with the original Legacy of Kain back in the day. Alas, a one night rental was all that was meant to be with that particular title. The dungeons in Soul Reaver are quite large, and it is easy to get disoriented as the camera isn't exactly your best friend. The combat, especially some of the bosses, can be quite a challenge as well. Don't let any of this stuff scare you off if you think the game sounds like fun, because it really was ahead of it's time and holds up well today.
179. Brutal Legend - PS3
On my first playthrough with Brutal Legend, I encountered a game ending bug right before the final battle. Apparently, if you save your game in the final area there is a good chance that your save file will be corrupted. Even though I was a bit discouraged, I started a new game and had even more fun that I had on the first playthrough. The fact that I didn't just thrown the game in the trash is a testament to how much I love it.
As I have mentioned more than a few times lately, I am not a metalhead. In fact, one of my favorite songs on the Brutal Legend soundtrack was Kabbage Boy's "Girlfriend", which was the joke track made specifically for the game. Sooo catchy. I still found the world in Brutal Legend to be an amazing place to explore. All of the landmarks plus the statues where you could learn about the history of the land worked together to create one of the best videogame worlds ever. The story, characters, and humor weren't Psychonauts good; but were still vintage Tim Schaefer and better than most everything else out there. The RTS gameplay is kind of weird at first, but once you get used to it, it is quite a bit of fun. For $10 new nowadays, I think everyone should give Brutal Legend a chance.
178. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - PS3
I love 3D platformers, and Ratchet and Clank is really the only series going nowadays not on the Wii or not available only as downloadable content. I haven't had a chance to play A Crack in Time yet, but Tools of Destruction is the same basic gameplay as the other games in the series with some motion control added, all set in some gorgeous and well-designed worlds.
With this new Ratchet and Clank game, I was initially disappointed at the lack of innovation. And then I played the game and had so much fun with the gunplay and platforming and weapon upgrading that I quickly forgot about that. When I was coming up with this list, I was going to leave this game off with the reason that it is basically the same game as Up Your Arsenal which was basically the same as Going Commando. And then my son wanted to watch me play some games and this is basically the only thing age appropriate I have for the PS3. I started playing this again about a week ago and knew that I had to include it. The story is decent enough and there are some funny moments, but I didn't find it as engaging as previous iterations. Still, the weapons are ridiculously good and the gameplay is tighter than ever. Plus, any game that has Captain Qwark in it is an automatic win in my book.
177. Donkey Kong Country - SNES
My time with Donkey Kong Country was a bit of a whirlwind. My girlfriend (who would later become my wife) and I rented it during a cold and snowy weekend and played it nonstop for two days straight. We managed to beat the game, taking turns playing the levels (though I had to carry the load). It was a weekend that I will never forget, though I do wish that I would have had more time to spend with DKC as I'm not sure that I really appreciated what the game had to offer in my relatively short amount of time with it.
The first thing that stood out were the graphics. I'm not sure how many souls Rare promised the devil to create such a phenomenal looking game on the SNES, but it was worth it (mainly because it wasn't my soul). I still think it looks better than 75% of the Nintendo 64's library. The music in the game is also incredible. I credit cemishler's Friday videogame music blogs for reacquainting me with this incredible score. While the gameplay is pretty typical 2D plaforming, Rare managed to add just enough of a spin to give Donkey Kong Country a personality that still stands out today.
176. Life Force - NES
I'm not a huge fan of sidescrolling shooters, though I certainly did play plenty of R Type back in the day. I was with a friend when he bought Life Force, and we played the game together that day. We were both hooked on this spiritual sequel to Gradius (the game was actually titled Salamander in Japan) and after school we would rush to one of our houses to get as much Life Force in as possible before our parents got home and made us do our homework.
I'm not sure what made Life Force so much more interesting to me than other similar games. I am sure that spending time with my friend had something to do with it, but we played plenty of games together that I hated. Little touches, like the fact that the entire game takes place inside of an enormous alien organism infected by a rare strain of bacteria, your character is named Vic Viper, and the incredible power ups; turn what would be a good shmup into one of the best that I have played. While I only wanted to include one side scrolling shooter in this list, R Type deserves a mention as well as it was a phenomenal arcade game.
Here are the previous entries in the series:
#181 through #185 #186 through #190 #191 through #195 #196 through #200
Stay classy, MyIGN.

U.S. Men's National Team veterans Landon Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley headline a veteran squad chosen by Jurgen Klinsmann for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Klinsmann named a 23-man roster for the tournament, with Donovan and Beasley returning to the national team fold, where they will be joined by national team newcomer Jack McInerney and young midfielders Joe Corona and Mix Diskerud.
Here is the USMNT Gold Cup roster:
GOALKEEPERS– Bill Hamid, Sean Johnson, Nick Rimando
DEFENDERS– Oguchi Onyewu, Clarence Goodson, Edgar Castillo, Michael Parkhurst, Corey Ashe, Tony Beltran, Michael Orozco, DaMarcus Beasley
MIDFIELDERS– Kyle Beckerman, Joe Corona, Stuart Holden, Alejandro Bedoya, Mikkel Diskerud, Josh Gatt, Jose Torres
FORWARDS– Will Bruin, Herculez Gomez, Landon Donovan, Chris Wondolowski, Jack McInerney
Among the surprising omissions from the team were Brek Shea and former U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra. Shea is set to join Stoke City for pre-season while Bocanegra's club future is uncertain, with rumors swirling that he will sign with MLS.
Here is the full list of players left off the final Gold Cup roster who were on the preliminary roster (these players could join the team after the group stage as replacements. Each team in the Gold Cup can make four roster chances after the group stage):
Tally Hall, Matt Besler, Carlos Bocanegra, Omar Gonzalez, Brad Davis, Brad Evans, Benny Feilhaber, Eddie Johnson, Brek Shea, Graham Zusi, Alan Gordon, Bobby Wood
The U.S. Gold Cup team opens tournament play on July 9th against Belize in Portland. They also face Cuba and Costa Rica in group play.
What do you think of the roster? Who are you excited to see make the team? Who are you disppointed to see left off?
Share your thoughts below.
I think this roster pretty much is what was expected. IMO assuming that Klinsman didn't want to mess to much with players who needed to there are only 2 glaring omissions in this roster and it was made back with the 35. They are George John and Agudelo. I'll make the case for both.
George John: I think it is clear from the WCQ that Besler and Gonzalez are the top 2 but both need to improve (especially Gonzo). George John could help press both of them to keep improving and would provide another stable back up if either went down with injury or card accumulation. Boca and Gooch are likely done at the international level given their ages. John is in his prime. Further, John has been the best or one of the best CB in MLS for 3 years now. All in all that warrants a look to see if he can be solid at the next level.
Aguedelo: The guy has had some success at the USMNT level, is playing well for club, and is still really young. This is the type of player you want to give opportunities to see if they add something to the mix. Bruin, Wondo ect are all known quantities that have pretty much demonstrated they aren't quite good enough for the USMNT, Give a younger kid with more potential their reps to see if he can help you.
How is George John playing right now? I get the impression he has been having an indifferent season. In which case why are you pushing for him?
As for Juan, I doubt the book will ever be closed on him as far as whether he goes to Brazil. Mostly he needs a nice long run of games in one place, some continuity.
The Gold Cup is just one segment in along series of tests leading up to Brazil. 11 months is a long time.
People lose form. People get hurt. There is a ways to go yet.
Agudelo is one of those players who has had a rocky club career, but always plays well for the Nats (a la Freddy Adu). We need to acknowledge that club and international football are different animals and some players are suited for one or the other.
Turd Bradley
Am I the only one that thinks Bedoya is garbage?
Would have liked to see Juan Agudelo on the roster.
Agreed. He is a solid international, and has been on all levels.
metrostar 4 life
are we like trying to actually win this?
I'm new to the sport, so can someone help me understand the Bocanegra situation? The consensus seems to be that a likely reason he was left off is that he is searching for a new club. Wouldn't the Gold Cup be a good way to showcase himself in front of scouts, and thus a good thing, or is it the case that he needs to actually physically be in Europe (or whereever) going on trial with potential employers?

Part 3: Comfort Through Relationship

Stuart Briscoe
John 15:1-16
We have noted so far that human beings are made to function on the basis of trust and love. Deficiencies in either area lead to deficiencies in life.

John 15:17-16:4
Jesus talked straight to His disciples. Not only did He tell them He was leaving them, but He also said that life would be very difficult. But they were not to roll over and play dead; they were to be witnesses in a hostile environment. To enable them, He promised to send the Parakletos. The situation has not changed.
I. Encountering Hostility.
A. What is meant by the world? (Kosmos)

ARGYLE'S first goal-less Sky Bet League stalemate in a day less than a year maintained their five-game unbeaten run and preserved their proud record of having the country's best defensive record outside the Premier League.
Further kudos can be gained from the fact that only two other League 2 teams had previously failed to stop Wimbledon, led by the prolific Matt Tubbs and Adebayo Akinfenwa, from scoring this season.
The nearest the Pilgrims came to securing a fifth successive win for the first time since the crossover of the 2006-7 and 2007-08 seasons came in the first half from a couple of Bobby Reid attempts, while Wimbledon will point to an Akinfenwa header after the break that hit the crossbar as their what-if moment.
In the end, a point from their first 0-0 scoreline for 52 matches was probably just about a fair reflection of an always entertaining game.
Argyle manager John Sheridan had been obliged to make one change to the starting line-up that had laid the foundations for consecutive 1-0 victories away to Tranmere Rovers and over Carlisle United at Home Park.
A heel injury to midfielder Lee Cox, picked up against the Cumbrians, allowed on-loan Bolton youngster Andy Kellett to make his Argyle debut in his favoured left wing-back position. Kelvin Mellor, who had been deployed in that role since midway through the Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Swindon, switched flanks, allowing Anthony O'Connor to slip into the central midfield space vacated by the hapless Cox.
The Dons, who had lost 2-0 at divisional leaders Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend, welcomed back midfielder Dannie Bulman, after suspension, and promoted defender Andy Frampton from the substitutes' bench.
Their opening 11 included former Pilgrims centre-back Adam Barrett, on loan from Gillingham, who had been given a start in league football at Home Park when Kevin Hodges was Argyle manager and has carved quite a career in the game since being jettisoned by Paul Sturrock 14 seasons ago.
Bulman and Barrett were at the forefront of the Dons' first meaningful assault on the Argyle goal which came after Bobby Reid was clearly fouled, ceding possession in the centre of the park.
Bulman took the ball on and forced Luke McCormick into a save at the foot of his near post; from the resulting corner, Barrett's goalward header down into the turf briefly threatened to loop into the goal before O'Connor nodded the ball over the crossbar.
Argyle's response, after soaking up a little more pressure, came from an unlikely source, central defender Peter Hartley pinging off a measured 35-yard rising drive which was fierce enough for Dons' goalkeeper James Shea to parry uneasily, rather than catch. O'Connor then caught the mood with a similar attempt from similar range but his low shot curled away from goal.
The familiar pattern of Argyle dominating a first half continued, although Curtis Nelson had to show alertness and alacrity to snuff out a potential threat from Tubbs, and George Francomb's corners tested the concentration.
Bobby Reid slipped Bulman with embarrassing ease before drawing a full-length save from Shea, with the ball bouncing just out of the compass of Lewi Alessandra as the in-form Argyle forward followed up.
However, the best chance of the first half came just as the game entered added-time with Tubbs and Akinfenwa linking up for the latter to tee up Francomb for a free pot on goal from less than ten yards. All he had to do, it seemed, was hit the target, but, fortunately for Argyle, he failed in that simple task.
There was still time for Bobby Reid to draw another save from Shea as the Pilgrims finished a half which they had shaded on the up.
The second half saw Argyle faced with different circumstances – playing into the teeth of the stiffish tail of Hurricane Gonzalo with fourth official Lee Venamore having replaced injured match referee Graham Horwood.
The contest remained compelling, however, and Tubbs twice served notice on the Pilgrims' back line as they entered a sixth hour without having conceded a league goal. The admirable captain Nelson took one for the team to thwart a breakaway from the Dons' striker, who then poked a near-post cross just wide.
If the first half had belonged to the Pilgrims, Wimbledon had good claim to ownership of the second. Akinfenwa nearly franked that with a goal when he rose to head Shea's lofted free-kick from halfway on to the top of McCormick's crossbar.
Sheridan sent on Smalley for Reuben Reid with 20 minutes to go, looking, no doubt for him to turn the tide as he had done when introduced similarly against Carlisle four days before. However, the momentum remained squarely with the home side, and Tubbs again caused flutters when he headed Akinfenwa's scissor-kick assist just over.
In the end, though, just like Gonzalo, the game blew itself out and Argyle left Kingsmeadow with their third successive draw at a venue where they have never tasted defeat.

I was injured while riding the bus when the driver rear-ended the car in front of him. Since I was dealing with a county agency, I didn't feel comfortable handling things myself. Kavita took my case, and she and her staff really went to bat for me, getting a five-figure settlement!
Although I hope I don't end up in this situation again, I would use Kavita in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who asks!

Thinking ahead and acting in a responsible manner are the main pillars of the economic success of the ASH Group, which is why sustainability is firmly integrated in the corporate strategy throughout the value chain.
In this strategic environment, the three main pillars of the ASH Group's guiding principle are customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction and profitability.

Studies of perception have focussed on sensation, though more recently the perception of action has, once more, become the subject of investigation. These studies have looked at acute experimental situations. The present paper discusses the subjective experience of those with either clinical syndromes of loss of movement or sensation (spinal cord injury, sensory neuronopathy syndrome or motor stroke), or with experimental paralysis or sensory loss. The differing phenomenology of these is explored and their effects on intention and agency discussed. It is shown that sensory loss can have effects on the focussing of motor command and that for some a sense of agency can return despite paralysis.

Flurry of Innovation
Stock market averages and economic indexes aside, one of the best gauges of the recent industrial sector upswing in the U.S. and globally has to be that many control and automation manufacturers released more new products and solutions in 2004 than they have in recent years—a flurry of innovation.
Stock market averages and economic indexes aside, one of the best gauges of the recent industrial sector upswing in the U.S. and globally has to be that many control and automation manufacturers released more new products and solutions in 2004 than they have in recent years—a flurry of innovation.
In fact, at several of 2004's major tradeshows, suppliers that had been exhibiting one, two or no new items previously were suddenly launching a half a dozen or more new products at each event. '2004 turned out to be a great year for the manufacturing industry, both economically and in terms of product innovation. So many great products really hit their stride this past year, in terms of the criteria against which we judge our award winners, that we decided to increase the number of awards given out this year to 40—up from 35 last year,' say David Greenfield, Control Engineering 's editorial director.
Control Engineering 's editors again evaluated hundreds of nominees based on service to the industry, technological advancement, and market impact to select the 40 winners of the 18th annual Editors' Choice Awards. Readers should be aware that winning products are not necessarily awarded in their initial year of release. Some are technically advanced enough, but don't have enough impact or deliver significant enough service to their industry until a greater level of adoption occurs a year or two later, or for innovative attributes of later versions.
'Throughout the year, Control Engineering editors cover thousands of products in the North American print edition, at our www.controleng.com Web site, and in our monthly and weekly e-mailed newsletters. Each year, editors review that coverage for products, solutions, and services with exceptional market impact, technological advancement, and service to the industry,' says Mark Hoske, Control Engineering 's editor-in-chief. 'The editors nominate what we believe to be the best products based on those criteria, and then cast votes for them. Selecting Control Engineering Editors' Choice Award winners isn't getting any easier, especially with the increasing amount of innovation serving the market.'
Following the Editors' Choice awards, Control Engineering 's subscribers again are being asked to vote for their own favorites from among the editors' 40 selections to determine the winners of the second annual Engineers' Choice Awards, choosing the top winner in each of eight product categories. These eight winners will be revealed during the Editors' Choice awards ceremony, held during National Manufacturing Week, March 7-10, in Chicago.
Control Engineering 's editorial categories posting awards this year include: Embedded Control; Human-Machine Interface; Instrumentation and Process Sensors; Machine Control and Discrete Sensors; Motors, Drives, and Motion Control; Networks and Communications; Process and Advanced Control; and Software and Information Integration.
Frank J. Bartos, David Greenfield, Dick Johnson, Jeanine Katzel, Vance J. VanDoren, and Michael Babb also contributed to this article.

An expansion of the European Court of Justice buildings in Luxembourg City is to take place, enabling the EU's top judicial authority to cope with the additional workload created by May's expansion of the EU.
The accession of 10 eastern and southern European countries will require increased office space for these new member countries and their staff, plus greater courtroom capacity to deal with a growing number of cases.
The project will cost €343m (£236.5m), financed by the European Investment Bank and Luxembourg's Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat.
Under a plan by French architect Dominique Perrault, the main court headquarters will be refitted and encircled by a ring-shaped building accommodating judges and advocates general. Two adjacent 100 metre-high towers will be built for translation departments. The work should be finished by 2007.

Smith Micro's CommSuite® platform includes features like voice-to-text transcription, message sharing with social media platforms, video messaging, dynamic advertising plug-ins, and much more. Voicemail is no longer something you hear, it's something you can see, manage and share, just like email. Despite what you may have thought, voicemail still has sex appeal that's worth paying for. Attend this webinar to learn how CommSuite can pay off for you, too.
