Bethesda Softworks - Do Developers Listen to Gamers?
View Single Post
December 17th, 2007, 20:58
I definitely think that devs should be in tune with the fan base before and after release. I think that many great ideas come from listening to fans. The problem is that for every good idea posted, or at the very least a realistic one, there are ten others that say something to the effect of "I want more boobies!" and "It should have voiceovers where everyone says my real name and I can develop a character with six arms and I can be a chaotic priest dwarf warrior mage and the story will still bend itself to my will…"
I can imagine sifting through forums posting fan ideas would get old very quickly.

Using MōVI the possibilities of camera movements are limitless with the ability to use as a handheld single operator setup to a remote setup with remote control for multiple operator functions including pan, tilt, zoom and focus. The MōVI gimbal can even be passed from operator to operator or from operator to jib and dolly without any detectable camera jerks, jumps or shakiness. Even if you are running with the camera, there is no worry that image will be compromised, because the unique design provides camera stabilization like no other.
Key Features:
Majestic Mode (Pan/Tilt)
Majestic Mode allows for a single operator to intuitively control the pointing of the gimbal by moving the handles without compromising the stabilization of the image. The gimbal takes the operator's movements and intelligently converts them into stabilized pan and tilt movements. This allows for very low profile single operator setup and accurate framing in tight situations.
Translation Compensation
The system features translation compensation, whereby the system will automatically adjust the camera angle to maintain a consistent frame. This is useful in situations where the camera will be moving so fast that no human operator could possibly keep up. The MōVI can accurately adjust the frame hundreds of times per second to keep the subject in frame as the camera translates.
Live Wireless Tuning & Graphing
A next generation stabilized gimbal deserves a fast, intuitive and user friendly GUI (graphical user interface). The MōVI features a real-time bluetooth connection to the gimbal, which outputs all pertinent performance data and allows for live adjustment of any of the gimbal parameters.
Remote Firmware Updatable
The MōVI stabilized camera system is firmware updatable. When Freefly adds a new feature on Friday night, you can be shooting with it on Saturday morning. As the system is used in varying cinema applications, Freefly is constantly inventing new solutions for the rigors operators face in using the system to execute demanding shots.
Drift Free Horizon
The proprietary control algorithms developed for the MōVI utilize a very high accuracy GPS. This GPS allows for acceleration correction when the gimbal is used outdoors or has a GPS signal. This feature is useful when used on cars and helicopters where sustained extreme acceleration forces can cause non-GPS aided systems to drift.
Silent Drive
Capturing on-camera audio is no problem with the MōVI, as the system is virtually silent. Because the entire motor / drive system was designed in-house, Freefly was able to reduce the noise frequency signature of the gimbal to a virtually inaudible level.
Shot Recorder
The system has the ability to record the exact camera position, height, pan, tilt and roll angle to assist the VFX team in post-production.
Custom Direct Drive Motors
High torque and lightweight are two attributes that don't usually go together. Drawing on years of brushless motor design experience, Freefly was able to create a remarkably lightweight motor that still has enough torque to handle larger camera packages.
User Adjustable Shaky Cam
In some instances, camera movement / shake is a desirable aesthetic choice. The difficult part is quantifying the amount and type of 'shake' to effectively convey the emotion of the scene. The MōVI overcomes this limitation by allowing the user to define variable noise filters that mimic the user's movements. Being able to control the level of 'noise' is highly useful, as it can be difficult for a human operator to accurately maintain a consistent level of camera movement, especially while keeping a compelling frame. With the MōVI noise filter, the camera operator can focus on framing and the MōVI takes care of the rest consistently and repeatably.

In my coverage of business continuity and disaster recovery, I talk to both IT infrastructure and operations professionals as well as IT security professionals and I've found that the term "data protection" means something different to each. This comes as no surprise and I think for a long time it didn't really matter because IT operations and security professionals operated in independent silos. But as silos break down and "data protection" is a shared responsibility across the organization, it's important to be specific and to understand who is responsible for what.

M-Audio Code 49 USB/MIDI Controller Keyboard
The Code 49 offers a 49 note semi-weighted keyboard coupled to a comprehensive set of features and a generous software package.
Main Features
- Professional feeling 49 note semi-weighted keybed with four assignable zones
- 16 velocity-sensitive backlit pads
- Assignable pitch and mod wheels, knobs, faders, buttons, and transport control including XY pad with Mackie Control and HUI modes
- USB Bus powered for portability and ease of use
- Full MIDI 5 Pin interface for use with outboard gear
- Expression and Sustain pedal inputs
- Includes Ableton Live Lite, AIR Music Tech's Loom and Hybrid 3
- Read More
The Code 49 offers several thoughtful design touches that enable you to create and perform your best. A keyboard should not be an obstacle standing in the way of creativity. Instead, it should function as a direct extension of your thoughts ensuring that you convey musical ideas with immediacy, precision and clarity.
Great Playability
The Code 49 keyboard has an all-new keybed with action that is clean, and precise. The natural profile keys are both velocity- and pressure-sensitive, for maximum expressivity.
Assignable Controllers
Code 49 controllers are equipped with everything you need to produce some serious musical creations. Extensive assignable parameter control is a breeze with multiple banks of faders, knobs, buttons, pads, and a smooth feeling pitch bend and modulation wheel on top. New to the line of M-Audio controllers is the X/Y Touchpad, which provides additional and direct interaction with effects and instrument plugin parameters across an X/Y axis.
In addition, the keyboard can be split into four assignable zones to maximise the flexibility and functionality of your setup. (ie: trigger four different instruments in their own separate zone, or overlap zones and trigger two instruments at the same time).
Serious Production Power
Most every DAW uses keyboard shortcuts to execute common functions (like adding tracks, cut, paste, etc.). Now with support for ASCII/HID keyboard shortcut commands, you can map these commonly used shortcuts right to the controller itself, streamlining your workflow for a faster, more efficient and far more satisfying creation/production process. Code 49 also supports Mackie Control/HUI control modes, so right out of the box you are ready to work with most DAWs with minimal setup.
Backlit Drum Pads
There are 16 assignable RGB backlit velocity sensitive drum pads to indicate at a quick glance exactly what function any particular pad is assigned to. The buttons, knobs and faders are also colour-coded to indicate what mode they're in. An alphanumeric LED display provides informative feedback, including on-screen display of parameters and settings. It all adds up to no confusion, no guessing, just precision control.
Exclusive Software Included
A comprehensive software package is included—Ableton Live Lite, full versions of AIR Music Technology's award winning virtual instruments Loom and Hybrid 3.0—so you have unrestricted access to the best creative tools.
Ableton Live Lite delivers much of the functionality of Ableton Live—the revolutionary, multi-award winning music production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments—as well as your digital audio recordings and MIDI sequences—together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use.

Why didn't Notre Dame use their man-marker Kate Sobrero on UConn's Sara Whalen in their women's semifinal game? She was UConn's only threat. It certainly looked as if all-American defenders Grubb and Sobrero and especially keeper Beene (maybe never tested) were overrated.

Plumbing Under Slab (New Construction)
Hi There,
I'm in the process of building my first home with a well known builder. After my slab was poured and they started framing I went to check it out. I noticed that a few of the plumbing stubs are in the wrong area. Any where from a foot to around 4 feet. The general contractor told me that this is "normal" to misplace plumbing and that they would re-route it to fix it. Does this sound right? Will the integrity of the foundation or plumbing be compromised?
I've seen it way to many times. We never seemed to be able to get a handle on it until we quit building. Too many guys to watch all the time. I don't think anything should be compromised. HS.
In a word, NO! They should be working off of plans that indicate where everything goes. IMHO, there is no excuse for this.
I guess i really don't understand this way of doing business. How can a hamburger flipper be supervised to make a .99 cent hambuger, but a house that is costing 400K+ has no one to make sure it is being built correctly. I totally understand a broken window here, some messed up drywall there, but to miss 100% of the plumbing stubs is amazing. :confused:
There is many reasons for pipes to be out of walls or not in correct areas. as a plumber who has been doing slabs for many years, I know walls are missed, it happens, yes the plans indicate where fixtures are, but its up to the plumber to find all the right dimensions, just a half inch off and a 2" pipe will be out of a 2x4 wall, it is not an easy task, as for a pipe being 4' off, that is total stupidity and laziness, they did not know how to read the plans, and yes the integrity of the concrete can be compremised if they just go in and start jack hammering. The area that needs to be chipped up needs to first be sawed, with a concrete saw.(if the area is a large area, a small area where the pipe is half an inch to 2" is fine to just chip up). After they have moved there pipes make sure they back fill and compress the dirt to its original state, also the moisture barrier needs to be put back. In some cases when the area is very large, drilling holes in the edge of the concrete and adding rebar is a smart idea.:thumbsup:
Although it is nearly impossible to get the pipes' locations 100% perfect, they should be within an inch or two. Being a foot or more off is purely sloppy.
The builder is giving you a stupid excuse, a ridiculous solution, and is generally blowing off your concerns. At this early stage of construction, that would be of great concern to me. You may want to sit down and review his capabilities and desire to produce the product that you expect.
Slabs are commonly saw cut to facilitate the installation of underslab piping. Provided that the subgrade is properly prepared under the removed portion, there's no reason it shouldn't be just fine. I would of course require that they drill some rebar dowels into the existing slab to give the new concrete something to grab onto.
It all depends on what you are looking at. Maybe they are going to come up thru some cabinets. No it shouldn't be common but everyone in the trades are human too and sometimes we make mistakes. YES EVEN THE ONES WHO SAY THEY DON'T..... THEY DO!

Where to Stay in Paris — Best Neighborhoods and Accommodation
Where's the best place to stay in Paris? For most people, going to Paris is the trip of a lifetime — so it's all the more important to carefully choose where you stay.
Paris was the first city I ever fell in love with, and after thirteen years, it's still my favorite city in the world. On my first visit, I skipped away from my school group to climb the towers of Notre-Dame; on my most recent visit, during my 30th birthday, I finally went shopping at Chanel.
I've now visited Paris eight times and usually stay in two or three different places on each visit. At this point, I've gotten to know lots of different neighborhoods, I've learned the benefits of staying in different places, and I know the kinds of experiences that make a trip to Paris special.
Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Paris
Everyone wants something different on their trip to Paris, but I think most people like being in a quintessential Paris neighborhood — a place where you can buy fresh baguettes and marvel at the wrought-iron balconies.
Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements (neighborhoods) and they are numbered in a spiral, the center being Ile de la Cité, the island in the Seine home to Notre-Dame. Neighborhoods with lower numbers are closer to the center; the 12th-20th arrondissements are the outer edge. Parisians refer to the neighborhoods by their number.
Best Overall: The Marais (3rd/4th)
The Marais, in my opinion, is easily the best neighborhood to stay in on your trip to Paris. It's central. It's got several attractions, like the Centre Pompidou and the Hotel de Ville. There are lots of wonderful restaurants and cafes, the architecture is magnificent, and the shopping is superb. In fact, I think the Marais is the best shopping neighborhood in the city — there are tons of independently owned boutiques as well as luxury shops and wonderful markets.
The Marais was historically home to marginalized communities in Paris, including the LGBT community and the Jewish community, and as a result it's got a nice cultural mix to this day.
Check out hotels in the Marais here.
St. Germain (6th)
If you're looking for Left Bank Paris, the neighborhood of Hemingway and Camus and Sartre, St. Germain is a nice option and my other favorite neighborhood in which to stay. While it definitely has its share of tourists, you'll find wonderful (and longtime famous) cafes, interesting little shops, and streets full of life. The Jardin du Luxembourg is nearby, and it's close to Notre Dame and the Musée d'Orsay as well.
Check out hotels in St. Germain here.
Montmartre (18th)*
Why does Montmartre have an asterisk? It can be wonderful, but you need to do a little extra research to make sure you're in the good part. While much of Montmartre is the village-like urban neighborhood depicted in Amélie, some parts are seedy, especially around the Pigalle area. Rue Lepic (pictured above) and its side streets are lovely; Boulevard Clichy near Pigalle and further east is full of sex shops.
The best way to know if you're in a good part of Montmartre? Google Streetview. Take a look at the neighborhood before you book accommodation.
Check out hotels in Montmartre here.
The 9th arrondissement won't be on a lot of lists — it isn't big on attractions, and while it's very Parisian, it's not as famously charming as other neighborhoods. I didn't give it a second thought until I stayed at my friend Marie-Claire's apartment in the 9th and saw what a great base it made for exploring Paris.
The 9th is a residential zone with the Opera and the Galeries-Lafayette department store on one end and the edge of Montmartre on the other end. As a result, there aren't a lot of tourists here (a rarity in central Paris!). There are lots of restaurants, bars and cafes, and there's lots of life without a single establishment pandering to tourists.
Check out hotels in the 9th here.
Ile Saint-Louis (4th)
If you want to be in the dead center of Paris, yet a place that doesn't feel like Parisian Disneyland, Ile Saint-Louis is a great choice. It has a wonderful feel — almost like its own small town — and even though it's next door to Ile de la Cité and the massive crowds of tourists visiting Notre-Dame, Ile Saint-Louis is almost a world away. The shops aren't bad, either.
Check out hotels in Ile Saint-Louis here.
Belleville (19th/20th)
Image: João Dias
Looking for hipster Paris, the Williamsburg of Paris, the Paris of tomorrow? Head to Belleville. Belleville is a historically working class neighborhood home to many different ethnic communities. Like many big cities in the world, Paris is gentrifying rapidly, and Belleville has become the zone for artists and entrepreneurs to set up shop. Here you'll find slightly lower prices, lots of interesting small businesses, and a fabulous selection of ethnic food.
Check out hotels in Belleville here.
Where to Avoid
Don't stay outside the main 20 arrondissements. You'll be far from the center and while many of Paris's surrounding suburbs are lovely, some of them are the most dangerous areas in Paris. Whenever you hear about riots and violence in Paris, it's usually in these rough suburbs.
Don't plan your stay around being close to a certain attraction. Paris's metro is easy and efficient enough to navigate your way anywhere — you don't need to stay within walking distance from the Louvre in order to visit the Louvre.
"Near the Eiffel Tower" actually isn't that great. The neighborhoods near the Eiffel Tower are upscale residential areas. They're fine, but they're expensive and a bit boring, in my opinion. Besides, you can see the tower from all over the city.
"Near the Champs-Elysees" is worse. Definitely go to the Champs-Elysees at least once, but it's filled with shops you can find anywhere and it's absolutely swarming with tourists. It's Paris's Times Square.
Don't stay in a hotel near the airport. Unless it's for one night only and your flight leaves at 6:00 AM the next day. Paris's two airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, are both far outside the city.
Where to Stay in Paris: Hotels, Apartments, Hostels
Should you stay in a hotel, hostel, or rental? In a city as popular as Paris, you've got plenty of options.
Apartment rentals are my favorite because they make you feel like a member of the community. And in Paris, isn't daydreaming that you live there half the fun of visiting? I also love that apartments often give you access to a kitchen, laundry, or other amenities that make you feel at home.
Hotels afford you a few perks you don't get in apartment rentals, like maid service, 24/7 reception, customer service (though formal, unfriendly French customer service is often a shock to North Americans) and relative anonymity.
If you're on a budget, hostel dorms are the cheapest accommodation in Paris. Some hostels have private rooms, with or without bath.
Best Overall: Cobblestone Paris Rentals
I hadn't heard of Cobblestone Paris Rentals until I met the owners, Jennifer and Ryan, a Canadian-American couple who went from buying an apartment in Paris for themselves to owning a Paris rental company! They've since become wonderful friends of mine and they kindly offered me a complimentary three-night stay for my 30th birthday. I fell in love with it immediately.
This wasn't just a Paris apartment rental — this was a THIS-IS-THE-MOST-PARISIAN-APARTMENT-EVER rental.
Crystal chandeliers. Thick brocade curtains. Victorian chairs, a fireplace, a bedroom decorated in purple and gold.
Yet while it was brimming with charm, it also had the convenience factor tough to find in actual Paris apartments. Washer and dryer? Yes. Flatscreen TV? That's so nice. Electric kettle? After living in England, I can't go without one! All the cooking supplies you could want. And wifi, of course. (Did you think I'd ever stay somewhere without wifi?)
Best of all, it was filled with special little touches — a bottle of red wine, a bar of dark chocolate, a selection of Paris guidebooks sandwiched between antique-style jars, and a DVD basket filled with movies that take place in Paris. I love being delighted in my accommodation, and I was delighted over and over.
I was ready to move in that day. Seriously.
My apartment was the La Royale du Marché property, a one-bedroom property in the 1st arrondissement (so central!), just outside the Étienne Marcel metro stop and a short walk from the Marais.
If you're looking for a truly special place to stay on your trip to Paris, Cobblestone Paris is it. I cannot wait to stay in one of their properties again.
Special offer for AK readers: Book through Cobblestone Paris Rentals, mention Adventurous Kate, and receive a free scenic cruise on the Seine!
Best Luxury Hotel: Hotel Villa d'Estrées
I've stayed in a few luxury hotels in Paris and my favorite is Hotel Villa d'Estrées. I stayed here on my December 2012 visit to Paris and I relaxed the moment I stepped in. It was elegant, streamlined, and old-fashioned but not cliche. The bathroom had a beautiful vanity and the windows had a view over St. Germain.
While Paris hotels are usually known for being cramped and tiny, my room at the Villa d'Estrées was spacious and actually had room for a couch.
And the location? Magnifique. St. Germain, a 30-second (!) walk from the St. Michel metro stop and just steps from the shops and galleries of St. Germain. Even though an Irish pub is next door, you don't hear the noise of it at all.
Best Hostel: St. Christopher's Hostel — The Canal
As hostels continue to innovate and turn into modern budget getaways for travelers of all ages, exceptional properties are popping up all over Europe. That said, unlike Lisbon or Berlin, Paris doesn't have any game-changing hostels.
However, there is one nice Paris hostel that I do recommend: St. Christopher's Hostel on the canal. It's a relatively new hostel, built in 2008, and it's airy and vibrant with impeccably clean dorms, large bathrooms, key card security, and a wild bar downstairs to meet fellow travelers.
St. Christopher's is part of the Europe's Famous Hostels chain, and I've found all their hostels to be well maintained with a great social environment.
The location on Canal St. Martin is offbeat and fairly out of the way, but there are plenty of nice cafes, a grocery store, some Vietnamese restaurants, and three metro stops within a ten-minute walk.
St. Christopher's has a second location near Gare du Nord, and while I can't vouch for it personally, it's worth checking out as well.
Don't Visit Paris Without Travel Insurance
A lot of people think travel insurance is an unnecessary expense — I couldn't disagree more. Travel insurance is vital. It's saved me hundreds of dollars and for one of my friends, who slipped and broke his back while traveling, his travel insurance saved him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If you get pickpocketed on the metro, travel insurance will refund you what you lost.
If you slip on the stairs at Notre-Dame and break your ankle, travel insurance will refund your medical costs and will get you home for free.
If you get appendicitis while in Paris, travel insurance will cover your medical costs.
If an immediate family member dies while you're halfway across the world, travel insurance will help you get home immediately.
These are unpleasant things to think about, but it's so important to be prepared for the worst.
I use and recommend World Nomads Travel Insurance. They're a great fit for almost every traveler. Take a look at their policies before you buy to make sure they're right for you.
My #1 Paris Tip
Make sure your accommodation is within a short walk of a metro stop, or, ideally, a few metro stops on a few different lines. You'll be riding the metro a lot, so being close will make your time in Paris so much easier.
In the past, I've stayed in places that were a long walk (around 12 minutes) from the metro in areas that weren't well traversed. This made me uncomfortable walking home alone at night, and while I stuck it out at the time, I wouldn't stay that far away again.
Any trip to Paris should be the trip of a lifetime. I hope this guide brings you close to making your Paris dream come true.
Essential Info: Rates for La Royale du Marché at Cobblestone Paris Rentals start at 169 EUR ($216 USD) per night plus taxes and cleaning fee. It sleeps up to four people if you fold out the couch. Children under 12 are not allowed.
Book through Cobblestone Paris Rentals, mention Adventurous Kate, and receive a free scenic cruise on the Seine!
Rates at Hotel Villa d'Estrées start at 194 EUR ($248 USD) per night including taxes and fees. It sleeps two.
Rates at St. Christopher's on the Canal start at 24.90 EUR ($32 USD) for dorms and 78 EUR ($100 USD) for doubles.
Many thanks to Cobblestone Paris Rentals for hosting me for three nights in Paris this summer, and to Hotel Villa d'Estrées for hosting me for two nights two years ago. All opinions, as always, are my own.

Street But street dance is very diffrent it's all about looking the same and it's sharper with lots of little moves making up a routine. I personally preferee hip hop but I also engoy street.

What is the purpose of the hip hop dance?
Hip hop dancing is style that is very expressive and takes a lot of rhythm and attitude. When dancing hip hop, you always want to make sure that your moves are impressive and …energetic and you try your best. There are many different purposes to hip hop dancing. One would be to release anger or frustration, and another would be for fun. You should also stretch before, during, and after exercising.
Where did hip- hop originate?

How do you dance hip hop?
Dancing hip hop requires having YOUR OWN STYLE which means you have to be aware of who you are as a person and not just dance but really feel the music and embrace it. Listen …to the words in the songs and react to it. It is so much more than just dancing because you express emotions and feelings through your body movements as well as your face and that can be a powerful thing. It is all about confidence, originality, and rhythm. Hip hop requires discipline in movements and time to develope your style sacrificing performance time as well. It depends on the individual's passion, drive, and physical ability whether or not they will achieve the art of dancing hip hop. I suggest dancing in your room or any place you feel the most comfortable in by yourself. Hip hop music isn't just fast, upbeat, and nonstop you can also dance to slow songs which really challenges your body to not overexagurate movements and control your body, so try dancing to all kinds of music. Having fun and enjoying what your doing allows you to open up. If you want to take lessons I suggest not only taking beginner hip hop classes but you can take jazz, ballet, lyrical, modern, tap, etc. Remember there is no "best" hip hop dancer or dance crew, everyone is equally amazing in their own style and choreography so try to find a studio that best fits YOUR personality and flair and see where it takes you! Always know that you can improve and be open to all experiences. Hip hop dancers take experiences from their lives and share it with the world through their dancing.Good luck and get ready to join millions of people who love to dance! I would also suggest going to youtube.com actually and search for hip hop dancers and dance crews so you can actually see first hand hip hop dancers in their own element and build up your excitement to dance hip hop as well. (you can search for team millennia, boogiezone, kaba modern, and just keep going to different links on youtube-trust me there are amazing hip hop dancers out there that will make you want to dance after the first five seconds of watching!) Look for local schools or dance studios offering hip hop dance classes. Alternatively, you could find some instructional videos - it's up to you! You could even do both together, to speed your learning along. Learn to find the rhythm and beat of music. Then go take a hip hop class, or buy a hip hop dance video online or at a store. You can also go to a hip hop dance club and learn by observation and trying it for yourself how to dance to hip hop by copying other people's moves. Dancing hip hop really has to do with your own style and there really is no specific way to dance hip hop. The best way to learn would be to watch a few shows where they dance hip hop and to practice until you feel you are ready to get out there and show people what you got! There are many ways to dance to hip hop. There are many instructional videos and classes you can attend. Its all about how you want to go about learning There are many well known hip hop dance moves, some of which can be performed rather easily. For the best instructions, well known music videos from hip hop artists will give you examples. Another way is to let the music move you :)

Looking Forward to Chiropractic's Future
By Donald M. Petersen Jr., BS, HCD(hc), FICC(h), Publisher
This first "Looking Forward" article should really have been authored by my father, Donald M. Petersen, DC.
It was his vision that established Dynamic Chiropractic as the first and only chiropractic publication mailed to "every doctor of chiropractic, chiropractic student and chiropractic supplier known to exist on the planet Earth."
This was more than just our slogan on the masthead.It was part of our mission to bring "unity without uniformity to the chiropractic profession through increased knowledge and tolerance" - a commitment that is renewed in every issue.
My dad was a second-generation doctor of chiropractic. He was born in 1927 and graduated from chiropractic college in 1950 after a tour in the U.S. Navy. Chiropractic was his life from early childhood to the day he died in 1988.
Dad started Dynamic Chiropractic in 1983. Sadly, he was involved in only 93 of the 588 issues we've produced during the past 25 years. I'd like to share with you what he would write today based upon he what wrote in those 93 issues. Interestingly enough, many of his comments then still have relevance today. Dad seemed to see into our future, even 20 years ago:
I'd like to end this article with our favorite quote from my father about the distinction between "good" news and "bad" news, particularly in terms of why we report both in the pages of this publication:
"DC is only as good as the story material we receive from the dedicated members of the profession. And when anyone is trying to take advantage of the chiropractic profession or individual members of it, you can be certain DC will get involved and try to get the true story told ... whether the news is good or bad is really in the eyes, and mind, of the person viewing that news. As far as DC is concerned, anytime a story is going to help chiropractic or any group or individual member of the chiropractic profession - then to us, that's good news. From our perspective, it is [also] good news when we can report bad things that are happening, and if by reporting it, everyone learns how and why chiropractic is getting hurt. If we can help open the eyes of those being misled, then perhaps more will unite and help put an end to the problem."

What is the difference between a drive-by appraisal and a full 1004?<-- Return to News, Articles and Resources
What is a drive-by appraisal?
A drive-by appraisal utilizes a similar process for estimating market value as the full appraisal with interior inspection. However, the drive-by appraiser must rely on outside sources for their information. For example, the appraiser may check court records or a multiple listing service record to obtain the age, size, and other characteristics of your home. Although these records may not always be accurate, they provide some basic information to complete the appraisal.
Additional features include: Location map, Floor sketch, Color photos of subject and comparables, and Statement of Living Conditions.
What is a Full Appraisal?
Also known as the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR), the 1004 is designed for the valuation of one-unit residential properties. Valuation is based on an interior and exterior inspection of subject property and exterior inspection of all comparable sales by a licensed appraiser. Available for use in Construction Lending, for FHA, Manufactured Home and Jumbo loans as well as REO valuations.
Additional features include: Map of subject versus comparable properties, Building Sketch with exterior dimensions, Front Rear and Street photos of subject, and Front picture of all comparables.
Will You Overpay For Your Appraisal?
by David Reed, a veteran Mortgage Banker, successful Real Estate Consultant and author.
Published: January 4, 2002 Website: www.realtytimes.com
Technology has pretty much caught up with everything. Almost all around us seems to be automated in some way, working faster and smoother than before. America's productivity gains are no secret and it's due in large measure to increases in computing power.
Not surprisingly, automation has begun to impact the appraisal process. Recent guideline changes allow lenders to consider several appraisal options for your home purchase or refinance.
At the top of the list, a full appraisal with pictures, comparable sales and measurements is commonly called a "1004" because of the form number Fannie Mae assigns to such a report. A faster and cheaper way of doing an appraisal is sometimes called a "drive by," where the appraiser will verify recent home sales in the area to justify the new home's value, "drive by" the home to assure it's there, and -- from the outside at least -- have reason to suggest that the property is good collateral for a loan.
Another choice is the "Minimum Value Assessment." The MVA verifies the existence of the structure through previous recordings and again justifies value using recent home sales in the neighborhood. This last method relies almost exclusively on electronic data about home sales in the area -- there are no pictures, no measurements, and no adjustments.
Each form of appraisal has a different cost. Less work for the appraiser means less money the consumer has to pay for property valuation. Which report do you need? Typically it's an underwriting decision that determines what's required, and these decisions are usually made by an Automated Underwriting System, a software program that decides if the borrower is qualified to buy the home and what documentation is required to close the loan. If your approval only requires a Minimum Value Assessment then you shouldn't have to pay for a full appraisal.
Relatively few loans today are approved requiring only the drive-by method, and still fewer use the minimum standards. Sometimes the use of less than a full appraisal can mean more than $100 in loan savings. As technology improves and data becomes more reliable, the traditional appraisal as we know it may largely vanish.
Some buyers still want a full appraisal -- regardless of the loan requirements -- to assure that a home really has a certain level of value. A sale agreement, for instance, might require a home to appraise at a certain value -- less and the deal is off or must be re-negotiated.
At your application, your loan officer may have asked that you pay for your appraisal in advance, so you hand over $300 or so for the appraisal. But what if your approval only requires a "drive by" appraisal that costs $150?
You have a choice at this stage: You can accept the drive-by appraisal or ask that a full appraisal be performed. If you ask for a full appraisal then you'll pay the full $300 fee -- but if you only want the drive-by appraisal that costs $150 then you should expect a refund for any excess appraisal charge.
Lenders and mortgage brokers are forbidden to "up charge" for third-party services. In other words, if the appraisal only costs $150 but the lender collected $300, they can't keep the change. They have to give it back.

I worked for a medical coding software company and was actually taking classes there to get certified. I understand you can make good money and can work from home and contract easily. The profession is dominantly female and traditionally not very foward in technology(but that's sort of common in the medical field in general) but of course that's changing.
Personally it's boring to me but if you don't mind it, it seems like a good thing to get into and especially if you are good at it. It seems like there is a demand for good coders as most are just average.

In the biggest at-bat of his season, TCU catcher Kyle Bacak squared to bunt with two runners on and an out in the ninth inning of a tie game Monday against Pepperdine. But it shouldn't have come as much of a shock that the Horned Frogs went for — and succeeded — with the suicide squeeze.
TCU has fine-tuned the art of small ball this season on its way to a berth in the College World Series. The Frogs have stolen 89 bases, more than double last year's total of 38, while laying down 60 sacrifice bunts.
A pitching staff with a 2.19 ERA lends itself to manufacturing runs on offense. TCU certainly doesn't need a flurry of runs often. But the park in which TCU plays also dictates what the Frogs can and can't do.
The fences at Lupton Stadium were moved in about 10 feet before last season, but with batters usually facing a stiff south wind the field still favors pitchers; sometimes, a few runs is enough.
"Offensively, our whole mindset is to just scrap and get whatever runs we can for our incredible pitching staff," Bacak said before TCU's practice Wednesday. "We feel like if we get three runs, it'll be hard for someone to get four on us."
TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said Omaha's TD Ameritrade Park produces a similar, pitcher-friendly setting at 335 feet in left field, 335 in right and 408 in center.
"It's going to be hard to score guys in [TD] Ameritrade Park from second base with one out, because it's such a big place," TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said. "The ball doesn't carry and the outfielders play so shallow."
Juniors form 'core'
TCU's last deep postseason run was in 2012, when the Horned Frogs won the College Station Regional and advanced to the super regionals at UCLA. It was a quick exit, though, as TCU dropped the first two games, 6-2 and 4-1.
But during that series, Kevin Cron, Derek Odell, Jerrick Suiter, Keaton Jones, Brandon Finnegan and Preston Morrison each earned starts as freshmen.
Cron said he and his junior classmates earned valuable experience in 2012, even if they fell short of Omaha.
"As freshmen, we wanted to rise to the occasion," Cron said. "We knew we were going to have a pivotal role. And obviously with six starters in the super regional that freshman year, we had all been there before and it gave us some confidence going forward."
Schlossnagle called his juniors the team's "core," in particular Odell, Cron and Suiter, who hit 2nd, 4th and 6th in the batting order.
"Any time you're a private school with a high cost of attendance, and limited scholarships, your core guys are your core guys," Schlossnagle said. "They're playing better this year and that's why we're having more success."
Close to a decision
Schlossnagle said he hasn't decided who will pitch for TCU in the first two games. Win or lose Sunday, the Frogs' next game will be Tuesday. Getting through the first two games is crucial to protecting pitching depth, Schlossnagle said.
"If you win the first game, you're going to do every single thing you can to win the second game, no matter who it takes," he said. "Because if you stay in the winner's bracket then the depth of your pitching never really gets tested."
Leaving for Omaha
TCU will head for Omaha on Thursday morning, leaving Lot 2 on campus for the airport at 7:30 a.m. A send-off party is planned.

Submitted to: Plant Disease
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/15/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Many dairy farmers of the northeastern U.S. rely on rotational grazing in meeting nutritional and energy needs of the milking herd from May through October. White clover is the principal legume species in rotationally grazed pastures. The present survey was undertaken to determine the presence and incidence of viruses in white clover in rotationally grazed pastures of Pennsylvania (PA), New York (NY), and Vermont (VT). The surve covered 24 pastures in 16 PA counties, 5 pastures in 5 NY counties, and 7 pastures in 5 VT counties sampled in spring and fall for up to 2 years. About 2555 white clover plants were tested by sensitive serological assays for six viruses. Season had little effect on incidence. Three viruses were very prevalent in the northeast. They were identified as white clover mosaic virus, red clover vein mosaic virus, and alfalfa mosaic virus. They infected 10% to 100% of the white clover samples from most pastures. Previous greenhouse and field plot studies indicated these three viruses may reduce growth and longevity of white clover. There are no resistant cultivars or control measures for the northeast. An assessment of the economic impact of these viruses on the northeastern grazier is the needed next step before determining the benefit from developing control measures.
Technical Abstract: The distribution and incidence of six viruses in white clover was determined in 36 rotationally-grazed pastures on 33 dairy farms of Pennsylvania (PA), New York (NY), and Vermont (VT). Seventeen PA pastures were sampled fall 1994, spring 1995, fall 1995, and spring 1996. Five NY and seven VT pastures were sampled spring and fall 1995, and seven PA pastures were sampled one to three times. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were conducted for alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV), red clover vein mosaic virus (RCVMV), white clover mosaic virus (WCMV), peanut stunt virus (PSV), clover yellow mosaic virus (CYMV), and the potyvirus group (POTY) in 2555 plants. Occurrence and incidence varied widely among pastures, and was more consistent among seasons than among pastures. Over the entire survey, RCVMV, WCMV, and AMV occurred in 36, 34, and 35 of the 36 pastures, and in 67%, 32%, and 27% of the plants, respectively. Maximum mlevels of infection by AMV, WCMV, and RCVMV were reached about 1, 2, and 3 years after stand establishment, respectively. POTY and PSV were detected in several pastures and in about 5% of the plants. PSV was never found in VT and was rare in NY. CYMV was not detected.

|2012 MAAC Champions
Fresh off a MAAC Championship in 2008, the men's lacrosse Class of 2012 had high expectations for their careers at Canisius when they first arrived on campus.
Unfortunately, some narrow losses and a little bit of bad luck kept the Griffs from repeating their championship in the next three seasons. Twice, Canisius missed out on qualifying for the MAAC Tournament due to tiebreakers, which included missing out on the 2010 tournament due to a random drawing. Near misses were also the story during the three campaigns as more than half of the team's 11 conference losses were by two goals or less, including four by just one tally.
Halfway through the 2012 season, the 16-member senior class seemed to be going down the same path as their first three years at Canisius but the group saved their best for last lifting, the Griffs to the pinnacle of the MAAC.
The season got off to a rough start with a loss at No. 3 Cornell. Canisius rebounded by earning a strong win at Albany, 13-10. Senior Simon Giourmetakis showed a sign of things to come with an eight-point, six-goal performance against the Great Danes leading the Griffs in their win against the in-state rival.
Canisius returned to Buffalo for a three-game homestand and opened MAAC play against Detroit. The Titans used a late 6-0 run to earn a 17-12 victory over the Griffs, beginning a tough seven-game stretch for the Griffs. Canisius went 1-6 during the run, including a 1-3 record in the MAAC. Giourmetakis proved strong once again in leading the Griffs to their lone victory during the month, netting six goals in an 11-7 win over Manhattan.
A 14-2 defeat at Siena ended the stretch and left the Griffs tied for fifth in the MAAC standings with Manhattan and VMI on the outside looking in to qualify for the four-team conference tournament.
The fortunes turned for Canisius in a Senior Day victory against VMI. The Griffs kept their postseason hopes alive with a 13-11 win over the Keydets to improve to 2-3 against MAAC foes. Canisius entered its final game of the regular season needing at least a win to qualify for its first tournament since 2008.
Determined not to have their careers end, the senior class earned a 7-5 victory at Marist to conclude the regular season. Senior Sean Callahan anchored a strong Canisius defense by recording 11 saves and earning MAAC Defensive Player of the Week honors following the victory. On the offensive end, Giouremtakis plus classmates Travis Gibbons and Jimmy Haney accounted for six of the team's seven goals.
The win, which marked the first for Canisius at Marist since 1992, pulled the Griffs into a tie for second place in the MAAC standings with Detroit, Jacksonville and Marist. The Titans earned the second seed for the conference tournament due to their wins against each of the tied teams, resulting in a three-way deadlock for third. In a new set of tiebreakers (which were not around when Canisius lost a random draw in 2010), the Griffs earned the No. 3 seed due to goals allowed in games among the tied teams, while Marist earned the final spot in the tournament.
Not only did the Griffs have to rally in the regular season to advance to the MAAC Championship but the team also found itself trailing throughout the tournament. A hot goaltender put Canisius in a 5-2 halftime deficit against Detroit in the semifinals but the Griffs responded in the second stanza by outscoring the Titans, 10-5, en route to a 12-10 win. Haney matched career highs with five points and four goals in the rally.
Siena then became all that stood in the way of Canisius earning their second MAAC Championship. Needing to revenge a 12-goal defeat, Canisius found itself trailing at the half, 9-6. Siena, the MAAC's top-ranked offense, had averaged nearly eight goals in a half in the team's two meetings of the season to that point. The Griff defense, however, paved the way for the title by holding the Saints without a goal in the second 30 minutes of play.
On the offensive end, Gibbons netted a man-up goal in the third quarter and Haney scored two tallies in the fourth, the second tying the contest at nine with just 3:29 remaining. Junior Mike Moran won the ensuing faceoff and MAAC Rookie of the Year Tim Edwards netted an unassisted goal with just 1:46 remaining for the team's first lead of the game. The Canisius defense held the lead with Callahan making one final save, as the Griffs earned the 10-9 win.
Haney once again matched his career high with four goals in the winning effort and was named MAAC Tournament MVP after posting nine points and eights goals in the two wins. Callahan and senior long-stick midfielder Brendan Murphy were also named to the MAAC All-Tournament Team.
Earning its second bid to the NCAA Tournament, Canisius drew top-seeded Loyola. After spotting the Greyhounds four goals in the first quarter, the Griffs netted the only three tallies of the second stanza to head into the intermission trailing by just one, 4-3. However, Loyola controlled the second half to earn a 17-5 victory en route to winning its first national championship. Haney continued his strong play at the end of the season, netting the team's first-ever NCAA Tournament hat trick.
Despite the loss to Loyola, the Canisius senior class left its legacy on the Golden Griffin program by carrying the team to its second MAAC Championship. The class accounted for 78.5 percent of the team's goals (95-of-121) and 71.1 percent of the team's points (140-of-197) in addition to three of the team's top four defenders and the starting goaltender.
Giourmetakis and senior defender Ryan O'Hagan both represented Canisius on the All-MAAC First Team, while Edwards earned second-team honors in addition to his MAAC Rookie of the Year award.

Things I liked: Everything: look, feel, balance, finish, power, accuracy, easy cocking effort. To me its worth every penny.
Things I would have changed: Nothing, well maybe the under-leaver catch adjustment (Do something to keep it from spinning and readjusting through cocking and shooting cycles).
What others should know: Its a heavy gun, but it adds to its incredible accuracy.

Things I liked: The accuracy, ease of shooting and the stock checkering. No getting around it, this gun is popular for three reasons. It shoots where you want it too. It doesn't punish you for using a rest. And the Italians did a fine job carving that stock.
Things I would have changed: Quite a bit actually. What 10 year old did the mechanical design for the safety? It is silly to conceive that an $800 air rifle could have a safety design worse than any $30 bb gun I have seen. Doesn't engage consistently when it should and Air Arms lacks the technology to let the shooter disengage and re-engage it at will. On arrival, the side stock screws were loose as others have reported so I tightened them. After 20 shots I was getting frustrated that my POI kept moving and I suspected a scope problem until the screw in front of the trigger guard dropped out on the table. The detent tension on the lever arm is never secure, so you will need to keep adjusting this every few shots as the process of cocking the gun moves it. I regularly go to cock the rifle only to find it hanging down. What should we expect from a service economy country. Clearly accuracy forgives many warts because this rifle would be destroyed in the reviews for its flaws if it were not so accurate.
What others should know: I purchased Walnut because I just fell in love with it in a few of the reviews. Mine was actually a pretty ugly piece of walnut sap/heart wood mix. The broadest part of the stock looks like wood that didn't have the glue cleaned off all the way before finishing it. It is still nice but given the choice between my specific walnut stock and beech.. I would have chosen the beech. I also am not too fond of the high gloss finish on the metal but I knew about that beforehand. The accuracy is really something but I have to wonder if I would have liked the LGU master better. I know the construction and safety design would be light years ahead. And I have heard it is just as accurate. If I were you I would take another look at the LGU.

Has anyone tried to use a TKO moderator on this gun?
I don't know why anyone would it comes with a fully shrouded barrel already.
What is the condition of refurbished units? (scratches, defects, etc.)?
If you go to the home page and go to navigation then scroll down to Remans/Refurbs it will explain your question.
What are the torque specs for TX200 stock screws (inch-pounds). Right now I am torquing the from stock screws and the rear trigger screw until they squeak, and lightly torquing the front trigger guard screw. Using blue locktite on the front screws, but not on the trigger guard screws. Thanks.
When you here that one squeak, STOP! Try not to over torque this rifle. This is a great shooter, and you risk damaging the rifle (and possibly voiding your warranty) if you over torque the rifle stock screws. Use a very small amount of locktite, a little goes a long way.

Top Obama Security Adviser Concludes Israel Visit
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's national security adviser has concluded three days of talks with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem amid an escalating focus on Iran's nuclear intentions. The visit comes in advance of a March 5 meeting at the White House between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
National Security Adviser Tom Donilon was the latest American official to visit Israel. He met with Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and others. Last month, the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, traveled to Israel.
The White House described the talks as a reflection of the Obama administration's "unshakeable commitment to Israel's security."
The U.S. has urged Israel not to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Dempsey said in an interview broadcast Sunday that such an attack is "not prudent."

Mohammad Khatami, a former president who was linked to the reform movement denounced show trials in Tehran as merely reflecting an attempt by President Ahmadinejad to smear those who oppose him by concocting a series of false confessions. "These kinds of comments are invalid," said Khatami, "these claims are utter lies and hold no truth. It is better for officials to prevent such illegal and counter-religious acts, as they will hurt the Islamic republic's regime." The prosecution is attempting to prove that demonstrators who went into the street to protest the fraudulent election of Ahmadinejad were merely agents of outside nations who endeavored to destabilize the nation's leadership.
The only way Ahmadinejad can present himself as legitimate is to prove the opposition is illegitimate. Therefore, the show trials in which decent people who have been brutalized and drugged stand up and confess to things they never did. The world is learning that Ahmadinejad has lost the support of his people. What next for Iran?

According to Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon, four individuals have been arrested and detained in the Graves County Jail on drug trafficking charges this week.
Robert Inman, 40, of Wingo and Raymond Thomas, 30, of Water Valley were arrested Tuesday afternoon following an undercover drug sting by the Graves County Drug Unit.

Thomas is facing charges of marijuana trafficking eight ounces to five pounds, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. Inman is also wanted for forgery charges outside of Graves County.
As a result of the Wingo/Water Valley investigation the Graves County Drug Unit assisted the Hickman County Sheriff to eradicate a small crop of 25 marijuana plants in the Spring Hill Community.
Warrant in hand, deputies conducted a search Thursday at the home of Brandon Anderson, 26, and Sara Case, 20, of Symsonia. During the search deputies found medical grade marijuana along with digital scales and cash from the sale of illegal drugs. They face charges of marijuana trafficking of under eight ounces, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. Mayfield Police Department detectives and Kentucky State police assisted in the search.

plays the music you love
Richie Hawtin
Hawtin was born in Oxfordshire, England, in the early '70s, and when he was nine moved with his parents to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. An early interest in electronic-based pop and dance music turned serious when Hawtin discovered the tracks being pumped out of his neighbor across the river, Detroit. Beginning as a DJ in 1987, Hawtin quickly became involved in composition through his direct involvement in Detroit's tight-knit community of musicians and producers. Combining early influences from European synth pop groups like Kraftwerk and New Order with the stripped-down techno futurism of Detroit innovators such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Hawtin's tracks are as steeped in Motor City tradition as they deviate from it in terms of texture and rhythmic complexity.
Although 12" releases issued through Plus 8 and the European NovaMute label have all been pretty dancefloor-oriented, Hawtin's attention to techno-based listening music has been just as focused through his full-length albums. His ambitious series of mix albums -- including 1995's MixMag Live!, 1999's Decks, EFX & 909, 2001's DE9: Closer to the Edit, and 2005's DE9: Transitions -- has emboldened his reputation as a conceptualist DJ. ~ Sean Cooper

Bethesda Softworks - Hiring for their next title
Bethsoft is starting to ramp up for their next title - although obviously we won't hear what it is for a couple of years yet:
I wonder if there's any truth to the rumor that it's going to be set in the Fading Suns universe based on the pen and paper rpg.
Bethesda? Fading Suns? Oblivion with laser guns.
Ya know, once upon a time, fresh out of school, I dreamed about getting that exact job at Bethesda, I think Morrowind was in the works at the time. Now, it sounds like meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Best of luck to them and anyone who applies but I've been in the rat race long enough now I look at a company the size of Bethesda and can't help but think, "After the glitz wears off it's just another job busting my ass to make some guy that doesn't even know my name richer."
But ignore me, I'm just a bitter (getting) old man who's jealous of their success. Well, that and I'm still mad at them for the Fallout is now a fps shooter thing. Now you damn kids get off my lawn!
Speaking of Fallout… This can't be for #4 as I would hope they are well into production on that already… (he says hesitantly)
I imagine they have been working on Skyrim DLC for the past month or two, and probably commenced initial development work on FO4 some time last year. Who knows when they would have received the SDKs for the next gen consoles.
If the latter, they own the two most valuable RPG properties that currently exist - why would they waste effort on someone else's IP?
Yes, but they own Fallout. They do not - as far as I know - own Fading Suns. If they do own it, I stand corrected. If not, while they could raise the profile of any IP, they would have no desire to do so because it isn't a property they control and they could put that effort into their own properties.
Remember, they still only have one primary team. A Fading suns game (or whatever) is one less proven Fallout or Skyrim game that they own.
Might it be Fallout Online? After all the trouble they went through to secure the rights back from Interplay I'd be surprised if they weren't ramping that up.
Fading Suns looks like a cool setting though.
But it has been said over and over and over, that Bethesda wants to keep focus on their trademark massive singleplayer games. And considering how successfull they are I don't see them revisit that decisions for the time being. Maybe we'll see a coop option in one of their future games, but not an MMO. I would naturally expect Fallout IV to be next - I could imagine they take up an additional IP at some point down the line to keep things fresh, but currently I would see little reason for that. A Fallout IV would be eagerly anticipated.
fallout turned in a 3d shooter did it for me. or rather didnt do it for me..
When morrowind was in the making, my dream was be there to make it too.
I'm not familiar with Fading Suns, it's sci-fi themed? Sounds like something they might want to pick up. Something sci-fi / fanatasy themed would feel quite refreshing from Bethesda, something with a little less bleak settings than those in FO.
I think it will be the Elder Scrolls 5. Skyrim is by far their most successful game ever so I think it would have caused them to rethink their strategy. Given that it would most likely take 4+ years to build it would make sense they start now.
Aren't the "next gen" consoles launching in 2013-2014? I imagine FO4 will almost certainly be a next gen title. And as there is only one dev team at BGS, they can really only focus on one major project at a time.
They might have somebody work on concept art or broad strokes planning, but the majority of the team will still be finishing Skyrim DLC and transitioning to commence FO4 in time for release around 2013 or 2014.
Also not very likely the job posting is related to the MMO that Zenimax Online is working on. MMOs don't typically release on consoles, and more importantly, Zenimax Online is an entirely different division from Bethesda Game Studios.
High technology such as terraforming and nanotechnology exists - though much of those secrets were lost in the apocalyptic fever that ran rampant when civilization collapsed at the same time the suns first began to fade. Faith in the Universal Church can have real and physically manifest effects - as can the worship of demons, nature, folkish superstition and even money. While the laws of science work wonders - it seems the immutability of those laws is not what it once was and reality is frighteningly malleable under the force of a strong-enough or significantly unified will. While the machinery of civilization reasserts itself despite the machinations of the same conspiracies which sought to tear it asunder all those years ago, the machinery of creation appears to be falling apart.
So it's a dark dystopian post-dark ages mix of science fiction and fantasy elements with politics, conspiracies, and belief playing large roles alongside technology. At the same time there is optimism and hope there is simultaneously the sinking feeling that strange forces indifferent to mankind's failings and triumphs are running down the last minutes on a much larger clock. The almost universal darkening of the suns makes the kinds of apocalyptic musings which have captivated people through much of our history seem far more serious and far less fanciful than they are today. As the play enters its final act and the stage appears set for the barest possibility of a happy ending, someone or something is turning out the lights.
(Not that I expect Bethesda Game Studios to have anything but Fallout 4 and TES6 in the works to be honest).
It's FO4, next gen games are gonna need even more manpower/bigger budgets.
