Bullpen surrenders another lead late against Giants
Pennington breaks out on offense; McCarthy effective through six
PHOENIX -- Coming off consecutive late-game meltdowns, the D-backs bullpen was again handed a cushion to protect Wednesday night, this time a two-run lead with three innings to complete.
The first five outs for the D-backs came relatively easy. Then Brandon Belt stepped into the box with two outs in the eighth.
David Hernandez threw two perfectly located fastballs on the outer third of the plate to jump ahead in the count, but the third fastball missed its mark and Belt hit it on the nose.
Needing one more strike to escape the inning after walking two batters, Hernandez sent a heater over the middle of the plate and Belt crushed it for a three-run homer, leaving the D-backs searching for answers as the Giants completed the three-game sweep, 9-6, at Chase Field.
"I threw the first two exactly where I wanted to and threw the third one exactly where he wanted me to," Hernandez said. "Seems like everything is going bad, but that's the way a season goes sometimes."
The Arizona bullpen has now blown 10 saves in 28 games this season and in the Giants series alone, D-backs relievers allowed a combined nine runs in the seventh inning or later.
"It's all frustrating, it's a tough time right now," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We have to pick ourselves up and move on. You're going to be tested."
Wednesday wasn't the first time Belt has stung the D-backs this season. The Giants first baseman hit a walk-off single against Arizona on April 22, smacked a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth on April 23 and drove home the game-winning runs with a single on Monday.
"He's been really clutch for us," Giants outfielder Hunter Pence said. "He's proving that he's going to be a good hitter -- and a big-moment hitter."
Down by one, the D-backs had the tying run on third base in the bottom of the eighth, but Gerardo Parra struck out swinging to end the threat.
"They had really good at-bats late in the game," Gibson said. "We were unable to match it."
In the ninth inning, the Giants tacked on a pair of insurance runs off Heath Bell, who also walked two batters. Combined with Hernandez's walks, all four Giants batters that were issued a free base in the final two innings came around to score.
"That was the worst part about it all," Gibson said. "You aren't helping yourself."
Hernandez echoed his manager's dismay at the lack of command.
"Couldn't locate anything, probably wish I would've pitched them a little differently and challenged them more," he said. "Walks are always going to kill you."
Before the bullpen's late collapse, D-backs starter Brandon McCarthy was in line to win his first game in an Arizona uniform. Following five shaky outings to start the season, McCarthy still wasn't at his best Wednesday, but the 29-year-old worked six innings, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out six.
"Overall it was encouraging but there are little things I can do to smooth out the rough edges," McCarthy said. "The stuff is there, it's just making sure you put together the whole game plan."
Leading the way offensively, Cliff Pennington tied a career-best with four RBIs, including launching his first home run since September of last season. Eric Chavez also pitched in with three hits and an RBI as the D-backs outhit the Giants, 15-10.
Wednesday was the first time the D-backs scored six runs or more without going to extra innings since April 10, a span of 19 games. Even though the support wasn't enough this time, the D-backs still preached confidence in their relievers to turn things around.
"Obviously you want to win ballgames but we have a lot of guys down there that have done it really well for a long time," Pennington said. "You win and lose as a team, right now we're not winning. Those guys will be just fine and we'll look back at this as a blip."
After falling behind 1-0 in the first, Pennington erased the deficit with one swing in the second inning, depositing a three-run blast into the pool pavilion in right-center field off Giants starter Tim Lincecum. Entering the at-bat, Pennington had been 1-for-13 in his career against the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
"I just tried to drive a run in, maybe get a base hit," Pennington said.
McCarthy allowed a pair of runs in the fifth and a single run on the sixth to keep the Giants in the game, but to his credit, the right-hander ended his night on a high note, striking out the final two batters he faced to strand a pair of runners and leave the rest up to his bullpen, which again could not close the door.
Before Hernandez gave up the lead, Matt Reynolds, the lone bright spot in the D-backs bullpen recently, turned in a perfect inning of work, striking out all three batters he faced on a combined 15 pitches and running his scoreless-innings streak to 15 1/3 innings dating back to last season.

I thought this might be a good idea for a thread where you'd like to get something off your chest, without necessarily needing any kind of feedback. Although perhaps someone can chime in and leave some information you hadn't thought of or didn't know.
or maybe it's a stupid idea and you should say that was a stupid idea hoey.
Rant activated!
Anyways... I'll go first.
First off, I feel like I'm a pretty good player, but I have a hard time actually doing well when it counts. I feel that some percentage of that is due to not completely understanding (inside and out) the discs I'm throwing.
When I worked at Marshall Street I was constantly trying out all the new discs that came in because, well, they were new and shiny... but I felt like I should know the discs customers would ask me about. Duh right?
I guess I'm finally coming to the point in my disc golf career, where I'm just gonna hunker down, and find the right molds that work in my best interests. It's kind of a no brainer, but it's hard with the temptation of trying out new technology... plus there's like what, a dozen or more options for each "slot" in your bag? With so many good companies out there producing so many competent models, how in the world are we supposed to find the ones that work best for us?
It's been in the back of my head for awhile now, and I've been drifting towards this conclusion for some time now without even realizing it.
To back up for a moment... It took like 11 years to finally decide on a putter that worked well for me (P2). I swear I've tried them all... and this is just for a putter.
But some pieces are starting to fall together...
The PD I feel now has a permanent spot in my bag... A fresh SPD, a used and beat SPD, and a beat PPD.
I've loved Latitude and Westside drivers... After trying the Halo and Havoc and the Flow, I think I've found a home with the Sword.
And the Fuse has been in my bag since it came out...
And I've recently been courting the Warship... and I think this. is. the. one.
*fingers crossed*
Then you have the XXX and Trident...
I'm sensing a pattern here...
That just leaves my beat pro destroyer and roadrunner in my bag that's not "from across the pond."
My realization: Keep it simple (sorry millennium). If I can choose from a smaller pool of choices for a certain slot, I'll understand those discs better, and therefore execute shots with more precision from being more familiar with them.
I've always laughed at those threads asking which disc is like this disc from another company. For example, Which Daredevil disc fliess just like a Buzzz?
You like the Buzzz, throw the Buzzz...
You're not sponsored, who cares?
But I guess this would have to be my little twist on that...
And don't get me wrong, it's not like I wouldn't throw other discs from other companies from time to time. But I feel like this is a step in the right direction (for me) to stop sucking less.
But between Discmania, Westside, and Latitude 64, I believe they each have all the slots and different shots covered. And perhaps I couldn't have said this a year or two ago, but now... I believe they got me covered.
I'll be able to whittle down the different plastics and weights that work best for me, and will actually be able to keep and cycle through used to beat discs more often, if I'm not going back and forth to this and who knows what.
So that's been my active stream of consciousness lately, and I needed to "put it out there."
It's definitely been in the back of my head recently, and maybe by putting it "out there" I'll be able to look at it again, and see if I'm onto something, or perhaps even maybe missing something.
I thought about doing a What's in my bag thread... but that's just not me. My "bag" would be changed and edited more often than..... oh I don't know... something that gets changed and edited really often.
But with this plan, I hope to have a solid bag that I know inside and out within a year.
That's sure to shave off a couple strokes or three in the long run...
And that could mean the difference between cashing.. and not.
Perhaps someone has already been in this position and can offer some sort of insight?
Perhaps you have something you'd like to "put out there?"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/7/2013 (1503 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR Miss Lonelyhearts: I am dating a drama queen and I'm on the brink. If you're dating someone who freaks out on you in public — like yelling and screaming — should you break up with them? What if it's only happened a couple of times? Most of the time when my girlfriend would get mad at me it would be in the privacy of my apartment.
Even then, once I had to ask her to keep her voice down so the neighbours wouldn't hear. I know it's normal for couples to get into fights, but I find the way she deals with our disagreements upsetting and draining. It's usually because she's jealous of my platonic girlfriends and spending any time away from her. Am I being unreasonable? Is this the way it is between people once they've made a commitment? — Confused Nice Guy, St. Vital.
Dear Confused: First, the normalcy check. No, it's not normal for adults in this culture to yell at home, unless they're screaming with delight. Nor is it normal to roar at someone in public unless you're at a sports game. You're not being unreasonable. Nice guys, more than the bad boys in the world, need to learn standards. So here are some for you to uphold: 1) If a woman raises her voice to you in a restaurant, pay the waiter and leave; 2) If she is screaming at you in your apartment, don't ask her to lower her voice while you dance around anxiously: pick up her coat, hand it to her and hold the door wide open, saying firmly, "It's time for you to leave." The neighbours will silently applaud from behind their doors. You never lose your apartment over a badly behaved date. Most important is rule No. 3.: If she slaps or whacks you with something any time, anywhere, pick up a phone and say, "That's assault. Get out of here before I call 911, because I will do it."
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I don't want my kids to know I'm online dating, but when I don't put a picture up, no one contacts me. The difference is astounding. Some people just shop the photos to see if there's a physical attraction before they read any profiles. I know an ad with a nice photo is the best way to get out there and find somebody and I don't want to give up the quest for new love. I've been lonely the last few years since the divorce and I'm ready for romance. What do I do? -- Chicken Mom, Winnipeg
Dear Chicken Mom: Even 10 years ago, online dating wasn't as acceptable, but, these days it's considered normal. Not only does net romance have a high success rate, but it's popular with all age groups, from teens to seniors. If you put up a picture and your kids see it, then deal with it as casually as if they saw you talking on the phone with someone you'd met in a coffee shop. It's time everyone got over the stigma, so stop acting guilty about it. Your attitude leads the way with kids. Looking for love is never a shameful activity, unless you're married and sneaking. Besides, if the kids find you on an adult online personal site, maybe it's time you asked THEM some questions about the age group they're shopping for.
Questions or comments? Please email email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, R2X 3B6

Cuban Muslims are learning Islam via embassies of Middle Eastern countries and Muslim students studying in Cuba. Cuba is a country where the history of Islam is fresh. Printed and visual Islamic sources are almost non-existent in Cuba. Newly converted Cuban Muslims change their names to Muslim names like Yasin, Idris, Yahya and Abdurrahim to their names. Cuban Muslims are waiting for Islamic enlightenment. Evening prayers are performed communally in small houses. "inshaAllah, the mosque promised by the government will serve as a moral shelter for Cuban Muslims," said Pedro, president of Cuban Islamic Union.
Yahya Pedro is a black African who heard of Islam via Muslims coming from Africa in 1966. Certain expression in Bible encouraged him to search for Islam in the 1970s. He converted to Islam after the guidance of a Togolese diplomat in 1982. When he first learned to recite the Quran, his siblings and parents converted to Islam as well.
The number of Muslims in Cuba is estimated to be around 2,000. In Havana, 960 Cubans have converted to Islam and registered with the Islamic Union.

Alumna of the Year and Others Honored - Dr. Mary Lynn Colosimo
Wednesday, 16 June 2010
Before moving to the psychology department, Dr. Mary Lynn Colosimo, associate professor of psychology, taught courses in Trinity's education department and was the director of the SEARCH program for "gifted" elementary school students.
Throughout her more than 20 years at the College, Colosimo has integrated her passion for serving with her teaching.
She—and her husband Ronnie—have helped to forge a deep partnership between the Harvey-based Restoration Ministries and the College that has provided years of service learning opportunities to Trinity students. Colosimo has also led an Interim experience for students at the ministry's Harvey and Tabitha houses for men and women for the past 10 years.
Her interest in the connection between psychology and yoga and her research interests in the Harvard studies about mind-body medicine has also been integrated into her work at Trinity. She began teaching yoga to students two years ago and leads a "Yoga as Embodied Prayer" class for seniors enrolled in SALT (Seasoned Adults Learning at Trinity).
But beyond the heart for service and the dedication to sharing the benefits of yoga, Colosimo feels most called to nurture the relationships she has formed over the years with colleagues and students. Her relationships with students often extend beyond the classroom. "I've watched students begin and continue in their development here," she said. "I've been able to build life-long relationships with many former students. These relationships have been life changing."

HINDSFORD manager Lee Bennett is hoping to home in on a hat-trick of Premier Division championships.
Dominant in the first half of the season when they appeared to be racing towards a third successive title, the Squires Lane men have struggled for consistency since the turn of the year.
But a 3-2 win at Rochdale Sacred Heart on Saturday kept them within four points of leaders Royton Town with two games in hand and, although they are one of eight teams who could, feasibly, win the title, they have the advantage of their four remaining games all being at home.
"They are all tough games but if we can take 12 points I think that could be enough," Bennett said.
"Teams like Prestwich Heys have four games in hand on us but they have an awful lot of football to play and it's going to be a tough run in for them.
"If we'd been beaten on Saturday, I think that might have been it, but I think we are in a good position now."
Hindsford had to come from behind and were down to 10 men after just 20 minutes when Josh Waldeis was shown a straight red card after reacting to a challenge.
Richard Sharpe got them back on level terms after the home side had taken an early lead and after regrouping following Waldeis' sending off Chris Hopwood put them in front with a penalty.
The home side levelled again but Hindsford's stand-in skipper Paul Dixon scored the winner six minutes from time.
Atherton Town remain on course for a return to the Premier Division after an impressive 3-1 win at Leigh Athletic, which kept them third in Division One, three points behind leaders Chapel Town and with a game in hand.
With three teams being promoted, manager Shaun Lynch believes they need to win two of their four remaining games to secure promotion.
"We need to score a few goals because Chapel Town have a better goal difference than us," Lynch said.
"But in the position we are it looks like we'll only need a couple of wins to go up, and that's the main thing."
Town took an early lead when Dane Grimes scored from a corner. Jack Kenny equalised for the Latics, but the Howe Bridge men went back in front when Gaz Shaw scored before the break and then doubled his tally following some neat inter-play with Nick Eastham.
Breightmet United manager Simon Wilcox described his team's first-half performance in their 4-0 defeat at Chadderton Reserves as "the worst half of football since I've been involved".
Chadderton scored three before the break and were on top for the full 90 minutes.

Three of Manitoba's finest young hockey players will wear red and white on the ice this week, after making the cut for Team Canada's women's U18 team.
Team Canada unveiled its 22-player roster Sunday as it prepares to battle the rival U.S. in a best-of-three series that kicks off Aug. 21 in Calgary. The final picks were made after 42 players converged in Calgary for a selection camp, which wrapped up on Sunday.
Among the players chosen is Balmoral Hall Blazers forward Ryleigh Houston, a 15-year-old phenom who scored 27 goals and 26 assists in just 27 games for the Blazers last season and was named the Junior Women's Hockey League offensive player of the year.
Joining her in the forward corps is Christian Higham, a 16-year-old St. Mary's Academy Flames scorer. Meanwhile, Hartney resident Melissa Hunt will patrol the blueline. Hunt, 17, is a force for the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League's Westman Wildcats. Houston and Hunt both attended the IIHF Women's High Performance Camp in Vierumäki, Finland earlier this year.

A VIDEO of a flash mob performing the dance routine to Psy's global hit Gangnam Style in High Wycombe has become a YouTube sensation.
More than 150 Zumba dancers dressed in black and white spontaneously pulled out the shapes of the South Korean rapper in front of a crowd of surprised shoppers in Church Street.
The video has racked up more than 5,000 views and counting on the video-sharing website.
Organisers Stef Stokes and Odie Meredith from We Love Zumba Fitness hailed the brave dancers for ticking an item off their bucket list.
Odie said: "It was one from the bucket list. We're all ladies of a certain age and we were saying we wanted to something exciting for our kids.
"It was brilliant fun but, as I was at the front, I daren't look round just in case I was the only one doing it! But then I heard everyone shout behind me and it was such a relief."
Stef added: "It takes a bit of bottle to do such a silly dance in the middle of town but it was about letting go and having fun.
"And we actually had quite a few people who were walking by drop their shopping bags and join in. It was great fun but definitely a one off."
Psy smashed the world record for 'most liked video ever' yesterday with the Gangnam Style promo. It has almost five million likes on YouTube and the song has reached number one in 28 countries.

Nichole & JJ
February 13
Phoenix, Arizona
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The stunning beauty of the botanical garden really speaks for itself. The Gardens truly bring a slice of the amazing Arizonan desert to the city. We love the natural setting and knew the weather would be perfect at that time. And we felt better knowing our money would be used to support the Garden.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
- Succulents that my family grew and we replanted after the wedding. My mom, two aunts and I created the entire reception décor. My aunt even made a coordinated crackled wooden card box, Novia/Novio, Muchas Gracias and Amor signs.
- My sister in law put together two guest books, Polaroids and map with pins, which was cool since we had people visiting from all over the US and the world.
- My husband wrote our ceremony music and with his brother-in-law recorded the music. For the recessional we had a surprise all women mariachi band.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The awesome fun we had. Everyone was dancing until the music stopped. And the beautiful vows we wrote for each other- there were many tears.

HOUSTON - Two men had just left a bar in southwest Houston and were on their way home when they were attacked, investigators said.
Houston police said say two people robbed the men on Beechnut near Commerce Park about 1 a.m.
Detectives said one of the attackers pulled a knife and started stabbing one of the victims. That man later died at a hospital. His name has not been released.
The second victim was not wounded and ran away, investigators said.
Police said a Harris County Precinct 5 deputy constable who was on patrol in the area witnessed the slaying and started chasing the two suspects.
The men ran into a nearby apartment, officials said. When police arrived, the men had escaped, presumably through a back window, detectives said.
Investigators spoke with neighbors and others who live in the area to try and track down leads.
Detailed descriptions of the attackers have not been released.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

A9 TV; 21 September 2011
Surah Ya Sin, 77, 78, 79
"Does not man see that We created him from a drop yet there he is, an open antagonist!
He makes likenesses of Us and forgets his own Creation, saying, 'Who will give life to bones when they are decayed?'
Say 'He Who made them in the first place will bring them back to life. He has total knowledge of each created thing;"
The verse again refers to the signs leading to faith, in other words to weakness of faith. This is always described in the Qur'an. Many teachers speak as if they attach little importance to it. Bediüzzaman concentrated particularly on it. The problem people have is belief in Allah and the hereafter. How many verses? Hundreds of verses refer to it.
Surah Sad, 46
"We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance of the Abode."
What does sincere mean? Unsullied. Undiluted. Genuine. Remembrance of the abode (in the hereafter). They think about and remember it. There is an encouragement to think here. And they remember it. They speak about the hereafter and it is constantly in their minds. Speaking about it is vitally important.
Young people in Azerbaijan must take care over the permanence of the state. There must be a determination regarding that in their hearts. They must support the state. It is important that the state be strong and lasting. May Allah make the Azeri state immortal. To the Day of Reckoning, insha'Allah. Because when Turkish-Islamic Union is established, they will take the form of republics. It is vital for every state and nation to be strong. There may be deficiencies or mistakes in the state. But the state can be repaired, and it must not be torn down. Young people must be on their guard against activities intended to demolish the state, insha'Allah. What does permanence mean? For the state to persist for ever, insha'Allah.
(On the question, "What do you think of atheists?")
We must feel affection for them. What else? Affection and compassion. I want them to be well. I want them to be happy. If not, we must again show them affection. We must not be enemies. Because that is how Allah has created them, insha'Allah. We must pray for their well-being. That is what we must do, insha'Allah.
Surat al-Ahzab, 3
"And put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian."
Placing one's trust in Allah is one of the greatest blessings. Faith and trust in Allah. Once you place your trust in Allah, you are literally flying. Your mind is at ease. You have no palpitations or troubles, you are relaxed and at ease. The body also rejoices – the cells say, "Oh, that feels so much better!" The cells of the body love faith. The cells of the body love Allah. All of them. The cells of the body love submission to Allah, really a lot. They love loving for Allah.
Once you give the cells that, they rejoice and the person becomes really lovely. Younger and fitter. That is what lies at the root of premature aging. A lack of trust in Allah and love. Loving Allah is terribly important. Fearing and trusting in Allah are also highly important. Love is the food of all the cells, and they rejoice. They can survive without food or water, but the cells cannot live without love. They go crazy and become depressed and stressed.
If I had not preached, then many people would be unaware of Islam and the Qur'an.But there are so many now that Christian women and girls are converting to Islam and starting to pray, but I do not talk about that. There are things I say and things I don't. More than 100 women, masha'Allah. You talk to them and you turn them away from the state, the nation and faith. But I talk to them, and Allah bestows happiness, alhamdulillah.
Israel National News – Live Interview with Hana Levi Julian
The Jews are descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). We love you very much. Israel will remain there until the Day of Reckoning. You will live in happiness, beauty and goodness. And there will be no war. Turkey will never go to war with Israel. It will maintain that friendship and brotherhood forever, you will see. You can always hear words like this. They used to say that Greece and Turkey would go to war, or that it would go to war with other countries. One always hears that kind of talk. But it will never happen in practice. You can rest easy on that. Young Israelis and Palestinians and Turks will embrace one another and be friends and brothers. We are in the time of Mashiach, of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). We are in a good and auspicious time. The time described in the Torah. The age of the King Messiah awaited for the last 3000 years has begun. From now on, neither Israel will suffer, nor Turkey, nor Palestine. Satan's life is now at an end. From now on, there will be peace and brotherhood. You will see that everything I am saying comes true. Everything I have said so far has come true. And you will see that this comes true, as well.
There have always been people calling for hatred of the line of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). And those who hate the Prophet Moses (pbuh). But truth has always won out. We will not permit the innocent to be persecuted. Love, affection, friendship and brotherhood rule the soul of the Turkish nation. All Anatolian people are like that. All the people of Istanbul. Go to Izmir and they are like that there. All that will come out of Turkey is its love for you. The people who harbor hatred toward you are just one in a thousand. They are irrelevant. The vast majority love you. And Turkey is your friend. The Turkish nation is your friend. Do not have the slightest doubt about that. Indeed, come here. I have already invited you. There are rabbis who will be coming. You can come too, if you wish. I would be honored and delighted. We can walk the lovely streets of Istanbul together and ask people whether or not they love the people of Israel. Everyone will say they do. Do not be uneasy over nothing. Relax. There will be no war and no tension of that kind. These words are but temporary. Everything will improve in time. There will be Turkish-Islamic Union, you know. Israel will also be within the Turkish-Islamic Union, as an independent state. We will live well as friends and brothers. Great days await us. That is what will happen. And satan no longer has any room for maneuver.
The nation knows Mr. Erdoğan. I know him, too. We have never met, but I know him. Believe me, he is a most affectionate person. He would not hurt a fly. I guarantee it. You will enjoy an honored place within the Turkish-Islamic Union. You will lead good and happy lives. Trust in Allah, in Mashiach, in Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). The days that Allah promises in the Torah have begun. You will leave in peace and security in the whole region. Palestine will also live at ease, as will you. We will embrace you with love. No Muslim can sign up to any oppression of that kind. Radicals have always been very few in number. By which I mean those who favor bloodshed and violence. Our nation has always been peaceful and loving. It harbors secular and Kemalist ways of thinking. It has an enlightened conception of Islam. The Turkish nation is opposed to extremism.
A radar base is being set up in Turkey. Do you know what the most important feature of that radar base is? To protect Israel from nuclear attack and to act as an early warning system. That evidence should be enough for you.
This is a NATO facility. Both Turkey and NATO. It is against a potential attack on any country. Not just Turkey. An attack on Turkey or any of its neighbors. It is an early warning system for whatever country is attacked and will destroy the rockets in mid-air. It is a system set up to destroy them in flight. I can give you the technical details. But everyone knows that. This is clear proof of Turkey's friendship toward you. So you can relax. We love all our neighbors. With all our hearts. We love Armenia, too, and Azerbaijan and all of you. We are filled with love, so you can relax.
The Torah and the Qur'an always speak of peace. And we will not permit anything else. My greetings to all Israelis and all Palestinians. My love to you all. My love to Christians, Jews, Muslims and everyone.

About the upcoming release of GTA Chinatown Wars for the iPhone. First of all, do people think that it's going to be the full game, or a downgraded version? If it IS the full game, do you think it would have the stuff that was added in the PSP version, or just be the same as the Nintendo DS version? I have played Chinatown Wars on my friend's DS, and I don't like it much, but I would still like to play it, and the iPhone being the only one of the three platforms that I own, it would be for that (I'm not going to buy a DS or PSP for one (weak) game).
However, I have a few issues with how it might work on the iPhone. First of all, screen space. The DS version takes advantage of the second screen, making it Huang's PDA, holding the radar and stuff like that. I can't imagine squashing the radar in on a single screen, as well as controls (the iPhone having no buttons). My idea is that Rockstar could completely remove the radar, and just take advantage of the top-screen GPS from the DS version that shows the GPS directly on the road.
As for controls, the touch screen mini games will return (having been replaced by buttons on the PSP version), and weapon selection could be the same as on the DS (touching the picture of the current weapon to bring up the weapon selection menu, pausing the game in the mean time), just squashed onto the game play screen. On screen controls (like a d-pad) like in other iPhone games can be horrible, as you can't feel the buttons and can often make mistakes (especially if they are too small because they're squashed on to the screen), so my brother had a good idea that the d-pad could be replaced with the motion sensing capabilities of the iPhone, turn the phone to turn the car/protagonist. This can be hard to control, but is probably better than an on-screen d-pad, and you could get used to it. The other buttons ("run/accelerate", "jump/brake", "enter/exit car" and "shoot" can then be (untraditional) spread around the screen edges to be used by both thumbs (along with other stuff like the weapon selection button), not close together so that it's not easy to make mistakes, or they don't cover too much game area.
Whatever they did on the PSP version about the PDA (only having one screen) they would have to do again, did they have a button to open it or something? Does anyone else have any thoughts about any of this, or any of your own ideas? Thanks! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 11:24, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Here we go again -- another Android vulnerability that lets malware extract data from smartphones and tablets. It's clear Android is becoming the new Windows in a way no one wants: a big, juicy attack vector for malware, spyware, and the like.
Yes, Google hardly vets apps in the Google Play market for Android, so it's rife with malware and spyware that people install naively. If you enable this capability (very easy to do in the Settings app), Android lets you sideload apps from websites and other sources, which makes it an easy target for phishers. Like I said, it's like Windows. But it's unfair to blame Android for this situation.
[ The top Android malware apps revealed. | InfoWorld's clear-eyed guide to Android's actual security risks. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
For some reason, mobile devices are held to a higher security standard than PCs. Android gets blamed because it's essentially architected like a PC: It has a shared filesystem. It allows people to install any apps they want. It lets apps work together. Those are features we love in PCs, and the lack of those abilities in Apple's iOS created a crescendo of complaints about it being a closed environment when iPhone apps debuted in 2008 -- complaints that continue today in some circles.
Guess what? You can't be open without opening the door to malware and spyware. No OS -- Android, Windows, OS X, or any of the numerous Linux flavors -- can know which apps are doing harm and which are not. Antimalware products look for known patterns to identify likely bad actors, but we all know that even antimalware apps that are 99 percent effective can fail. As a result, the malware and spyware industry has been quite lucrative for criminals and quite effective for spy agencies like the American NSA, British GCHQ, and Chinese military.
If you have a filesystem, then there's a way for bad apps to get at private data. Yes, you can (and probably should) encrypt that data, but as a recent Whatsapp flaw showed, developers can implement encryption poorly, giving malware a way in. The same is true for app sandboxes (used in iOS and to a lesser extent in OS X) and app containers, those currently fashionable multi-app sandboxes that dozens of mobile security vendors offer.
In other words, you can add protection to an open filesystem, but none is foolproof. That's not Android's fault. Instead, you have to gauge the level of risk you can accept and get what best addresses that. Most users and even companies do nothing, not even the first line of defense of antimalware. That's not Android's fault, either. (Ironically, Google does limit what Android antimalware apps can do when they detect malware.)
The only other option is to do what Apple decided to do and has been slowly adding to OS X: Close off the filesystem and restrict the apps to those it directly vets, while severely limiting interapplication communication and requiring explicit permission each time it's used where permitted. That's safer, but it exacts a price in flexibility that many people do not want to pay -- as the criticisms of iOS in its early days and the 2009-2011 mania around jailbreaking clearly showed.
Frankly, people need to stop expecting technology to do everything for them. Installing free apps is dangerous. Not making sure an app is from who it's supposed to be is dangerous. Installing apps from websites and email links is even more dangerous. Don't do it. And don't blame Android when you do.

Comcast's decision to throw its hat into the medium-size business sector is paying off in spades, and its metro Ethernet service is at the heart of that success.
In its third-quarter earnings report earlier this month, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said that business services revenues, which increased 39 percent to $454 million, were "becoming a significant driver of our growth." Comcast officially announced its entry into the mid-size metro Ethernet business in May across 20 markets [1], but during the earnings call, the company announced it was now available in all of its markets.
Kevin O'Toole, senior vice president of product management and strategy for Comcast Business Services, said Comcast began prepping for its foray into the medium-size business sector a few years ago by doing some "quiet" metro Ethernet trials, as well as by working with large carriers on cellular backhaul.
"The cell backhaul effort was really a great opportunity because we were able to get this network out there and start serving some of the most demanding customers in the country," O'Toole said. "If you can serve another carrier using the same technology and the same operations, you've really battle-tested your capabilities."
With its metro Ethernet offerings, Comcast can deliver bandwidth from 1 Mbps up to 10 Gbps that can be remotely scaled in increments of 1 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps, and it's offered with three different classes of service.
By using Ethernet-based technologies, business customers can scale their bandwidth requirements for cloud computing, business continuity, business process automation, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and other applications.
The benefits of metro Ethernet
Flexibility, ease of use, low cost and a future-proofed network were a few of the factors that led to Township High School District 214, which serves 12,500 high school students in a Chicago suburb, to pick Comcast Business Services' metro Ethernet offering.
Keith Bockwoldt, director of technology services for District 214, said the district was using Comcast's ATM service but was required to solicit bids from competitors in order to qualify for federal funding.
"Comcast had the best pricing and most robust offer for the district, so we selected them, and it's been a very solid network for us," Bockwoldt said. "I can count on one hand the times we've been down, and those times it went down was because of a backhoe or something that dug into the fiber."
Bockwoldt's district comprises seven campuses, each with buildings that are between 350,000 and 400 square feet. The district also supports more than 6,200 computers, 1,300 VoIP phones, 850 tablets, 225 IP cameras and 400 wireless access points.
"Right now, I have 200 megabits to each one of our campuses and a total of 145 megabits to the Internet, which is kind of a lot," Bockwoldt said. "I don't know if you hear of many school districts that have that kind of capacity. Because of all of the Web 2.0 and all of the cloud computing, we're really looking at getting rid of all of the applications that reside on a desktop that are client-server based and moving to more of the host-based services out on the Internet."
Using Comcast's metro Ethernet, the school district connects to IlliniCloud, which is a public cloud, for 24/7 access and storage of its critical data.
Virtualization reaps rewards
Three years ago, the school district embarked on a virtualization project after it had reached 94 percent capacity in its new data center. By moving to virtualization, the school district saved on servers in the data centers.
"The efficiencies of virtualization come in two dimensions," O'Toole said. "One is simply cost avoidance. Rather than having to build and maintain servers at all of the locations, when you move into a virtualized environment, you get some economies of scale. With those economies of scale comes the ability to be industrial strength. I can go into one or two data centers that are air conditioned properly, have proper power and redundancy, and I can invest my dollars in one or two spots to make sure they're more hardened around the edge of the network.
"The other dimension is because I'm getting efficiencies in terms of how I'm managing that technology, it's not costing me as much to manage it, I can then bring new applications in. I can reinvest those same dollars in doing more. The beauty of virtualization is that you get a higher quality on the stuff you're doing, and you save money that lets you do even more at a higher quality of service."
O'Toole said Comcast's metro Ethernet provides the bandwidth necessary to make virtualization possible, as well as a dedicated network operations center (NOC) team that can monitor and fix problems on the fly.
Bockwoldt said the school district was working on a hybrid cloud that will also be provisioned over the last mile by Comcast's metro Ethernet services. The hybrid cloud would still connect with the IlliniCloud on one end, but also with "feeder" school districts in the area.
"When you look at what the cloud does, when you move all of your applications into the cloud, you really double down on your last mile network connection," O'Toole said. "Now everything you do is going over that network, so you really have to make sure you have the right technology, that it's scalable, that it's reliable, that it provides the amount of bandwidth you need, as well as the bandwidth quality and controls that you need.
"So we think metro Ethernet is a fantastic solution for customers who are adopting cloud services."
By using metro Ethernet, Bockwoldt was able to segment his traffic across the wide area network (WAN). Currently, VoIP has the top priority, followed by video and then data. Going forward, the school district is looking at offering a more robust video conferencing service, which could cause Bockwoldt to realign his priorities, but he won't have to alter the network that's in place.
"We have 200 megs to each one of the campuses, and I'm looking to ratchet that up," he said. "All I'll have to do is make a phone call, and we can ratchet that up. It's not like I have to re-engineer the network again and run new lines. It's already there. The plumbing is in place. I just need to open the faucet up a little a bit more."
O'Toole said metro Ethernet services, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and point-to-Internet, are flexible enough to serve companies with only three or four sites, while also being scalable enough to serve up to 50 sites, as well as handling the cell backhaul duties.
"The beauty of the technology is that it's so flexible in meeting the needs, and aligning costs, with the needs of a business at a given location," O'Toole said. "Regardless of the speeds or configurations that they need, it's basically one piece of CPE that we can put on each customer location. We use a device from Ciena that will go up to a gigabit per second. So even if they start at 10 megs, we don't have to change that CPE until we're north of a gig. We have a lot of runway in it for them."
Over the past year, Comcast hired 600 new employees to help keep pace with its business services growth. For now, Comcast is staying keenly focused on the small- and medium-size business services sectors.
"We look at the opportunity that we're pursuing today with small business, under 20 employees, and the mid-market, which we define 20 to 500 employees, and we think that's just such a great opportunity that we're not really looking at enterprise right now," O'Toole said. "We're always looking at new stuff, but we're very focused on getting out there and getting going on solving problems like we did for the school district."
Comcast's decision to throw its hat into the medium-size business sector is paying off in spades, and its metro Ethernet service is at the heart of that success.

Robert R. Galloway, 75 years of age, became Our Gift to God on Friday November 30, 2012 at his residence comforted by his loving family. Bob was God's Gift to Us on September 17, 1937, in Clay County, North Carolina. Formerly of Cleveland, he had been a resident of the Aurora- Mantua areas since 1973.
Bob was a loyal employee of Ford Motor Company, Walton Hills Stamping Plant, retiring in 1999 after 40 years of service. Bob's devotion to God was sustained as a dedicated member of His Ministry, where he was head usher, a member of the Gospel Team and Visitation Staff, as well as always being available to assist his church in any manner called upon.
On June 15, 1957, he married his beloved wife Joyce C. (Mladek) Galloway who survives at their home. Also surviving are his devoted sons Robert M. (Denise) Galloway of Streetsboro and David B. (Michelle) Galloway of Aurora, brothers Gary (Barb) Manning of Indianapolis, Indiana and Larry (Carol) Manning of Brunswick, Ohio, his loving grandchildren Amanda, Adam, Alyssa, Ashley, Amy, Michael and Thomas and great-grandchildren Kala, Emma, Ava and Jordon.
The memory of Robert Galloway will forever be that of a loving, warm hearted gentleman whose smile was as wide and deep as his love for God and family. Calling hours will be Wednesday December 5, 2012 from 4:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. at His Ministry, 3051 State Route 82, Aurora, Ohio where his Celebration of Life service will begin at 6:00 P.M. with Pastor James Atkins officiating. Bob will be laid to rest on Thursday December 6, 2012 at Westlawn Cemetery in Mantua Township at 10:00 A.M.. (Procession will form at the church 9:30 A.M.) His obituary and video tribute may be viewed at www.greenfamilyfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are by the Green Family Funeral Home & Crematory Service in Mantua.

I was considering using this handy little 301 redirect creation program, but do not understand why it puts [R=301,NE,NC,L] at the end.
What are the advantages to including NE, NC, and L ?
They are described this way: "the URL should not be escaped (NE), it should not be case sensitive (NC) and it is the last rule that needs to be processed (L) "
I prefer to use [R=301,L] for the following reason(s):
R=301 tells visitors (SE's et al) that the redirection is permanent and displays the new link in the browsers' location box.
L tells Apache to stop processing the current pass through mod_rewrite and start the next pass with the new {REQUEST_URI}
IMHO, those are the valuable flags (unless you do not want the actual URI to be displayed).
NE is an oddball which prevents encoding of special characters in the URI. I can't imagine why this would ever be used so, IMHO, it's not necessary.
NC specifies that mod_rewrite should NOT care about the case of the characters in the regex. This is valuable when examining the {HTTP_HOST} but can cause UnExPeCtEd and UnDeSiReD results when dealing with URIs, i.e., it's something to be avoided UNLESS you're using a RewriteCond to test the contents of the {HTTP_HOST} string.
You might benefit from reading the mod_rewrite tutorial linked in my signature as it contains explanations and sample code. It's helped may members and should help you, too. There is a section on mod_rewrite flags which, while not all inclusive, does address the most common as well as their uses.
Nice explanation DK,
Your right that defaulting to NC is probably not the best thing to do. I will add the option to switch it on or off and have it default to off.
From recollection the NE was so I could get it to work properly with some special characters. My tool does the encoding which means I can control things better.
p.s. It is my tool
Thanks for the kudos, Tigg.
I've created a tool, too, which is accessible from my /seo script. Try it and compare the results. When you can explain the differences (and decide which is better), you'll be great at mod_rewrite.
Some interesting stuff in your tool. I'd say a user really has to understand what they are doing though. I see options that could easily cause problems. e.g It looks your bot blocker would block Google from indexing the website, and it's on by default? And the default for hotlink protection looks like it would block all requests including html ones where the referrer will not be from the domain.
I've always found www redirectors don't quite do the full solution. I like your solution as it is generic and you have workable solutions for both directions. The only weakness is it forces http so if the original request was https it would switch. II think this issue could be solved by using HTTPS as a condition. e.g.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([a-z.]+)$ [NC]RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =offRewriteRule .? http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([a-z.]+)$ [NC]RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =onRewriteRule .? https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Also, Can't domains contain more than a to z and a dot? How about numbers? I'd be tempted to just use (.*)
When I get time I'll have to learn a bit more about the other features of your tool. I've personally not dug much deeper than the basics need to sort out SEO issues.
Thanks for the feedback on the mod_rewrite code generator.
Personally, I loathe code generators as they generally miss the obvious (like retaining the secure link, adding digits in a domain name using Unicode in URLs, etc.) but I had hoped that my statement about modifying for use in a particular situation would cover that because the myriad of exceptions would make the generated code too complex for novices to understand.
Hi dklynn and Tiggerito , I started this thread a few weeks back, and have learned a bit from your conversation here. Thanks!
But I still am not confident in my htaccess knowledge, and would appreciate any help you can provide with this odd problem.
We are having a weird situation with our site www.easydigging.com (we always use the www version) when trying to set it up as a campaign at Moz.com for SEO monitoring. We can easily set up a campaign for the root easydigging.com but when we try to set up one for the www version the www always gets mysteriously stripped off. The tech support guys at Moz can not figure it out.
We do have the domain registration separate from the webhosting and use A Records to make the connection. Since it is an ecommerce site, we also have a few https pages for the cart and checkout.
Here is the first part of my htaccess file. There are quite a few more 301s for individual pages, but all are like this example. Please take a look and let me know if it is set up correctly...
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# 301 rule for home page
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^easydigging\\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.easydigging\\.com$
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ "http\\:\\/\\/www\\.easydigging\\.com\\/" [R=301,L]
# 301 rules for Hoss pages
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^easydigging\\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.easydigging\\.com$
RewriteRule ^Garden_Cultivator\\/wheel_hoe_push_plow\\.html$ "http\\:\\/\\/www\\.easydigging\\.com\\/wheel\\-hoe\\-hoss\\.html" [R=301,L]
I'm glad that you've learned ... but hope that you'll read the tutorial linked in my signature because it's helped many members and should explain things for you, too.
There are things with your mod_rewrite code which need attending to because your DNS records did not resolve your problem.
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine on
# force www; maintain https if required
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# 301 rule for home page; strip URI for index.html
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^easydigging\\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.easydigging\\.com$
RewriteRule ^index\\.html$ "http\\:\\/\\/www\\.easydigging\\.com\\/" [R=301,L]
# don't escape characters in the redirection
# 301 rules for Hoss pages
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^easydigging\\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.easydigging\\.com$
RewriteRule ^Garden_Cultivator\\/wheel_hoe_push_plow\\.html$ "http\\:\\/\\/www\\.easydigging\\.com\\/wheel\\-hoe\\-hoss\\.html" [R=301,L]
# ditto
As for a "specification," it looks like you're doing three things:
Force www on domain - nicely done but I don't believe that the empty {HTTP_HOST} needs to be considered.
Strip DirectoryIndex from the URL - personally, I don't like this as it defeats Apache - and may generate endless redirections if your host has setup to force the DirectoryIndex to be shown.
Strip Garden_Cultivator from wheel-hoe-push-plow.html - a Redirect 301 could handle this easier.

still playing TR1 but it is a bit boring. I fought my first dinosaurs met a huge one too but after I shot him for a minute he run away. maybe he was offended?
Also playing Max Payne. Still as awesome as the day i played it first time in 2002. Yet it is much harder than I remember. Maybe I am not savescumming anymore but some fights are tough and i think i only skipped two painkillers (for having them maxed) while normally i have 3-5 tops in my inventory. and i die quickly.

Strangers Wrath first level, the camera is constantly fighting me, the controls are al over the shop and the graphics flop between beautiful and terrible... I'll hold my opinion on the voice acting because I hated Abe at first too.
It seems quite smart, after some customised controls it'll feel better.
But the 2 weapons + melee and all reminds me of Bioshock 2, you feel powerful and capable. We'll see i guess.
I've also been playing Conviction and trying to decide whether I want to buy a 2nd copy for LAN coop now while its cheap even though my 2nd pc cant handle the game ATMI am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

Still getting through Morrowind. Finished all the content in Tribunal yesterday; while I liked the general atmosphere and style of Mournhold, I thought the main story was pretty dull, or at least didn't live up to what it could have been. It's this story of royal intrigue and divine forces, yet you basically end up just running to one area, grabbing some items/killing some dudes, then running back to the quest giver, over and over, and the actions never match the grandeur of the surrounding lore. Not to mention the fact that most of the quests drive you into the fucking sewers of Mournhold, rather than taking place in the actual city of magic and light.
Edit: Forgot to add how bloody hard Tribunal is. I was encountering Goblins that were more powerful than the Draemora Lords I was encountering in the base game. Maybe it has something to do with leveled content, I don't know. I ended up resorting to some heavy abuse of the AI, since as a Thief/Assassin I take very few hits.
Started on Blood Moon today, and so far I'm really liking it. It's like a preview of the Skyrim to come, and even without the modern graphics the Nord culture and snowy landscapes make for good adventuring. The quests are an improvement over Tribunal as well (handing out booze to imperial soldiers), or at least the first few are, so hopefully that keeps up.

Playing Skyrim like crazy, as much as a college kid can, and loving the hell out of it.
Also dicking around in Thief: Deadly Shadows. Little baffled as to why stealth games were better in 2004.
Sanctum, Bronze, and SupCom 2, despite loftier goals. I'm having a hard time finding the time for meatier strategic fare right at the moment.

Having had very few commitments this past weekend, I spent pretty much the entirety of it playing Batman: Arkham City.
I am absolutely loving it; the combat, the stealth, the exploration and the setting just connect seamlessly to create a fantastic experience. I really liked Arkham Asylum, and the devs seem to have just taken that formula and enhanced it tenfold.
Of all the things I like about it, the one thing which I think elevates this over Arkham Asylum is the city itself. It's packed full of explorable streets, rooftops and alleyways all littered with riddler secrets and side missions.
Also, having a large contiguous chunk of land really adds to the exploration experience. Rather than being broken up by loading screens, as was the case in Arkham Asylum, you can soar around Arkham City without your feet ever touching the ground. The verticality of the city is breathtaking, you can swoop down from rooftops to subway in a matter of seconds.
I love how most of the Riddler trophies are actual puzzles now. Some of them are quite tricky to solve, and it actually feels like you're outwitting him rather than just hoovering up collectibles.
I do have one complaint though, and it's that Rocksteady seem to have taken the 'kitchen sink' approach to the game by adding in too much stuff. You're constantly getting upgrades, and the sheer amount of new gadgets and moves you build up is staggering. During combat, you have so many options that it feels a bit overwhelming at times. I often just forgot about all my special moves and gadgets and just stuck with the standard punch and counter attacks.
It's a minor quibble though, and I'd have no hestation in recommending this to anyone who enjoyed Arkham Asylum, it's brilliant. As much as I liked Portal 2, I think I've found a new candidate for my personal GOTY.

I continued on Chaos Theory,i only done first two missions for now. Gonna play third one today.
Does anyone know how I can download my Steam games on one computer then transfer them to another computer?
I ask because I'm at uni with infinite net and will soon be returning home to limited net
If you copy the Steam/Steamapps/Common/ folder from one computer to the other, you should be able to get them to run by reverifying each and every game cache. Bear in mind this is a very, very tedious process if you want to transfer a lot of games.

Batman: AC - "Beat" it yesterday but I will keep playing it for a looooong time to to come. Trophies, riddles, challenges, challenge campaigns, side missions, new game+... Seriously, all of my game of the year contenders are actually something like game of the last three years. AC is an amazing game.
L.A. Noire - Wasn't expecting to play this so soon, but the 50% off Steam deal gave me an opportunity to pick it up. I've played the first few cases of the first detective desk (Traffic) and am really enjoying it. I wasn't sure what to expect, going in, with all the mixed reviews and whatnot. But it's a well-produced, intelligent and engaging game. So far. What I didn't know when I started the game was how twisty the cases would get. Again, I'm in Traffic, of all things, and each case I've played has been non-obvious and clever. I'm really looking forward to the homicide desk. As morbid as that is. Another thing it helps to know while playing: the "doubt" option in interviews, which often causes the protagonist to get loud and threatening, was originally called "force." And then they changed the name of the option without changing any of the dialogue. Which is totally crazy. So I just know that the option is called force (I actually think of it as "push" which has a nice maybe-threatening, maybe-inquisitive sound to it), and when the character starts shouting, it makes sense.
And, of course, always already: Skyrim.
Playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on my PlayStation toy. I know the older Metal Gear games got PC releases, but I don't think this one did. It's certainly one of the strangest games I've ever played, and I've played all of the series going back to the NES days. I think people complaining that Call of Duty isn't a game because it's so linear need to play some MGS4 and sit through a 20-30 minute cutscene, walk 10 steps into the next part of the map and sit through another 20 minutes of cutscenes. Still, fun game, interesting story, and it still looks great even though I've waited 3 years to play it.
Binding of Isaac a lot as it has become my "put on some music and have a quick blast for an hour" game.
Also while I'm waiting for my copy of Arkham City to arrive in the post I've been trying to play some of the indie games that have been sitting unplayed for a while. So I've just polished off To the Moon (which I did in one sitting at way too late an hour as I was rather engrossed) and have Limbo and Gemini Rue awaiting me until Batman interrupts.
Red Orchestra 2: Been playing now over 25 hours and getting a feeling for the game. Advancing to upper third of the scoreboard almost constantly. New patches improved performance. But still things left to do for the developers.
The Binding of Isaac: Finished the game 10 times by now. Now trying to finish the game with ???, though I think it will take me a bit longer to complete it. I am not the guy for no-damage runs ;)
Amnesia - The Dark Descent: Got this during the Halloween sale. Only 90 minutes into the game, but damn, great atmosphere. Only can play this in short bursts, but a nice trip!
Darwinia: Only played the first mission and not sure what to think of it now. In the beginning the darwinians reminded me a bit of these little buggers from Leviathan. Anyways will have a look at it again on the weekend.
Speaking of Binding of Isaac I'm not usually one to go achievement hunting but now I'm so close to 100 % that it feels rather churlish not to try.
The only ones I haven't got are completing Sheol with Judas (almost did it with an epic run a minute ago, I'd got crap items near the start so basically decided to give up by taking a deal with the devil for the cat with 9 lives thing without any complementary items then proceeded to power through by the skin of my teeth getting to the final boss with my little unicorn and two hearts only to be undone by a bloody leech after getting to its final form), completing Sheol with ??? (almost did this on my first run but it was the first time I'd been there and hadn't figured out the bosses yet, this was also when I managed tto get through the womb without being hit for the one and only time) and completing the caves and depths without damage (former should be doable with the right items, the latter is probably trickiest).
Funny the games that keep you playing really. Why does Isaac keep me playing whlle Dredmor started boring me after a couple of weeks? I just don't know.
