I hate to burst the bubbles of the fanboys out there, but some of us have waited to hear this album for 8+ years and have seen numerous gaps of time without any news and cancelled shows with the promise that Jari was spending all of his time crafting the greatest thing he's ever done. We were promised almost unprecedented production values, rivaling what you'd normally hear from bands like Blind Guardian, with 200+ tracks on each of the songs. Time passed without any news of Time. One day, Jari says the album is finally finished, but will be released in 2 parts because Nuclear Blast says so. I immediately became incredulous, wondering why this album couldn't be a single release and expecting the worst because of the split. Surely something so epic in scale deserved to be presented to us as intended. However, I put this aside and figured that the music could speak for itself and should be good enough to carry two separate parts given how much time has gone into Time. All of these songs have got to be a lot better than some of the drudging boredom produced on the latter-half of the first album.
After hopefully at least 1/10th of my lifetime has passed, this album finally graced my ears. The introduction track was beautiful, fulfilling the promise of Japanese stylized atmosphere Jari had mentioned back in 2004. This leads perfectly into one of the best songs Wintersun has ever released, if not the best. Sons Of Winter And Stars really does show a culmination of talent from the whole band and focuses on the dynamic sound and emotional journey which great symphonic background can bring to a band. This is far better than anything Nightwish or Rhapsody have been doing with their orchestrations as of late, which made me hopeful that this album might actually live up to the hype from its lengthy gestation period.
That hope died as soon as the next song played. Nowhere to be found is the inspired mixture of heaviness and orchestration featured on the previous track. Instead, we're regressing to a boredom not unlike the last few songs on the previous Wintersun record. This time it's worse, because the lack of real guitar riffs and solos leaves us to only focus on the sleepy, half-baked nature of the song. I began to feel crushed by the weight of mediocrity and the fact that the rest of the album was yet another intro/song combo of epic length only compounded my fears.
The album ends just as terribly as I began to fear in the middle. The boredom continues and nowhere do I hear anything nearly as well-written as should be expected from this release and the length of the title track becomes a chore to sit through unless your hanging from Jari's nutsack. There is finally a solo in this song, but it's not enough to save it from being quite possibly the most mediocre thing Wintersun has ever produced... and I daresay one of the worst things I've ever heard Jari be a part of musically.
Overall, this is a very disappointing album. As I said, I approached this under the assumption that splitting Time into two halves shouldn't have any effect on whether the music is good or not. What we get is one amazing intro/song and then 3 more tracks which feel nowhere near as inspired and quite frankly are insultingly half-assed when compared to the 8 years given to writing and recording this material. The actual sound of the recording isn't terrible. The mix is good for the symphonic elements, but the guitars are slightly buried and the bass is difficult to discern among it all. The drumming is sufficient, though never anything more than stock beats to support the overall composition. Again, these things are disappointing given the length of time dedicated to this release, but at least it doesn't sound like it was recorded in Jari's bedroom.
I am eager to hear what it is in store for Time II, as Jari has promised more riffs and solos on the second half, but I really can't expect a lot given what I've heard so far on this release. This is not the magnum opus we've all waited so long to hear. It's not even half of a magnum opus. This is a vast disappointment and anybody who disagrees is fooling themselves. Go back and listen to the first album. It's a much better use of your time.

...and so on...and so on...
You know what else happens? Someone heard my prayers and did this:
I watched Kristin Wiig and Will Ferrell's bit three more times today and giggled like a leeeetle girl, especially when Tommy Lee Jones' crusty wrinkles did the sour patch dance across his mug.
I'll say it again - LIGHTEN UP, Tommy Boy.
Ain't no thing but a chicken wing.
If you are one of the three people who haven't yet seen it, here it is:
And just because I'm feeling generous, I'm also going to share my hands-down favorite video in all the land, courtesy of Amy Bo Bamy, who RUDELY sent it to me one day with a cryptic note that it "reminded her of SOMEONE in this conversation..."
Seriously. If you are not crying at the end of this video, well, you are clearly more mature than me. Enjoy. AND YOU'RE WELCOME.

Katie Holmes is dipping her famous toes into the Twitter pond. Late last month, the actress, designer and single mom, 34, finally joined the microblogging social media site, and has mostly been sharing some of the sights and experiences in South Africa, where she has been filming The Giver with Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Jeff Bridges and Taylor Swift. And on Thursday, Nov. 14, Tom Cruise's ex shared a cryptic, inspiring quote from French novelist Andre Malraux.
"Love this. So true," wrote Holmes as she shared a Twitter photo of Malraux's quote, written in type against a sepia-toned background. "The real struggle begins when you have to contend against a part of your own self," begins the quote. "Up to that point, it's all plain sailing. Yet it's only from such inner conflicts that a real man emerges. Yes, we've always to fear the world within ourselves, there's no escaping is."
Two summers ago, of course, Holmes' life transformed forever when she and Tom Cruise divorced after six years of marriage, with the Mania Days actress first filing the papers. The NYC-based Holmes and Yang designer shares daughter Suri, 7, with Cruise, 51.
Little Suri has recently been spotted at her mother's side during her stay in South Africa — and appears to be featured in a recent TwitPic shared by Holmes.
"My gentle wakeup call from some sweet dreams… #thegivermovie," wrote Holmes beneath one cute snapshot, in which a small child's hands seem to grab Holmes' sleepy face.

Flatbush Zombies
Bodega Bamz, Hosted by Bootleg Kev
Club Red
1306 W. University Dr
Mesa, AZ, 85201
This event is all ages
Bodega Bamz hails from Spanish Harlem, and has already collaborated with rappers like French Montana and ASAP Rocky. Promoters are already getting together their Bodega Bamz booking information, as they see him being one of the next stars to come out of New York.
Bodega Bamz grew up in Spanish Harlem, and he originally saw himself being in film. He would act in dramas, and even tried out to be in Reading Rainbow but didn't make the cut. Growing up he would listen to a lot of salsa, house music, and Christian music. It was when his friend introduced him to Biggy and 2Pac, which he would dive deep into hip-hop. The first CD that he was ever given was 2Pacs Greatest Hits, and from there he became a huge 2Pac fan. He would start rapping by battling other local rappers, and he would use this as a platform to get his name out there. At this time, people were looking to set-up Bodega Bamz bookings as he was still a rapper on the come up. He would improve as time passed, but it was the birth of his son that made him take rap seriously. Once his dad saw his passion for music, he built him a studio to start recording in. They would go to this studio, and crank out songs, and really stayed focused on making the dream work. Unfortunately they would lose the studio, as well as where he lived as his dad would lock them out because of him being disrespectful. Him and his brother started really pushing hard, and Ohla (his brother) became his engineer and videographer because they couldn't afford to pay people to do much of the stuff they wanted.
Him and his brother formed the Tan Boys movement which is a movement of Latinos, and honoring them being proud and powerful. The movement led to him being looked at as the next Big Pun, or the Pun of this generation, a title that he doesn't take lightly. They are part of a new movement of New York rappers that are holding the state on their back. It's no surprise that the Bodega Bamz booking price has gone up as he is starting to get coverage in the press. They are projecting him to be one of the next rappers to blow up, especially how he is bringing a big Latino following with him. He will probably be signing to a major label in the near future, as his buzz can only stay independent for so long, and just may go in the direction of the ASAP Mob. Either way, this rapper is definitely poised for success.
When you are ready to book Bodega Bamz to come out and perform at your party, let us know because his momentum definitely isn't slowing down. Not only can he rap but he has style, and he has a following that is definitely going to pack your venue. Let us know how we can help you make your event a success.

The Wylie Agency and Amazon shocked the publishing world with a deal publish 20 eBooks through the literary agency's brand new Odyssey Editions imprint–selling the books exclusively through the Amazon Kindle Store. We've collected some of the strongest responses below.
Random House spokesperson Stuart Applebaum spoke out this morning: "We are disappointed by Mr. Wylie's actions, which we dispute.

Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today issued a statement in support of the Republican plan to balance the budget by 2023. Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) today released the fiscal year 2014 House budget resolution. More information about the Republican plan to balance the budget can be found here.
Congressman Smith: "The Republican budget proposal does for the federal government what American families do every day--balances the budget. Hardworking Americans know they cannot spend money they don't have. Unfortunately, the federal government has not been as responsible with taxpayers' dollars.
"The President campaigned on a promise to cut the deficit in half. But under President Obama, the deficit has doubled. The federal government now borrows 40 cents on every dollar it spends. No family, no community, no country can sustain that kind of excessive spending. It's the road to bankruptcy.
"The national debt is now more than $16 trillion. That number continues to grow with each additional year that we do not balance the budget. The higher our national debt, the heavier the financial burden on American taxpayers. And just like with credit card debt, sooner or later, we'll have to pay up. That means more taxes on hardworking Americans that stifle economic growth and discourage job creation. If we do not rein in government spending, we are at risk of a financial meltdown similar to what we have seen in some European countries.
"The federal government needs to set a budget and stick to it. Senate Democrats have not only failed to balance the budget, they haven't even passed one in over three and half years. The Republican Path to Prosperity is a roadmap to a strong fiscal future for our nation. It sets priorities for spending and balances the budget in ten years. This legislation helps keep the American Dream alive by ensuring that future generations of Americans are not buried in debt."

The "college town" image is embraced in Ann Arbor, where the University of Michigan is considered by business leaders and entrepreneurs to be the engine of the city. Though located in an area suffering what's been called a "one-state depression," the educated workers and steady stream of startups coming from UM have helped Ann Arbor weather Michigan's economic decline.
The city's strong suit is its high-tech industry, which receives significant support from a private-public partnership called Ann Arbor Spark. A statewide Pre-Seed Capital Fund targets tech companies in four fields: advanced automotive, manufacturing, and materials; alternative energy; homeland security and defense; and life sciences. The fund invests up to $250,000 in promising ventures (which are required to match the fund's cash with their own) and takes an equity stake in return; the goal is to give promising ventures the cash needed to advance beyond the development stage.
Taxes are a bit of a sore spot throughout Michigan, but state officials aim to be responsive to business needs. A 'single business tax' (SBT) that behaved like a payroll tax did not sit well with the business community; as a result, it was repealed and replaced at the start of 2008 by the Michigan Business Tax. The new tax, based on business income and gross receipts, offers a number of credits to help companies reduce their tax bite.
The cost of living in Ann Arbor is high for the region, but in return the city offers a number of attractive amenities for residents, including a vibrant arts scene, award-winning restaurants, easy access to Northern Michigan's freshwater lakes, and highly ranked college sports teams. -Brandi Stewart

Unattended bag prompts evacuation at JFK terminal 5
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - Passengers were allowed back into Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport after an unattended bag prompted an evacuation Wednesday morning.
There were no reports of injuries. It is not clear why the bag was left unattended or what was inside.
FOX 5 NY reporter Teresa Priolo shared video of passengers re-entering the terminal at about 9:50 a.m.

The evacuation came just hours after a deadly terrorist bombing at an airport in Istanbul, Turkey.
Additional police officers were soon deployed in New York City and New Jersey.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said that travelers should expect to see officers with tactical weapons patrolling at JFK and LaGuardia airports and at New Jersey's Newark International Airport.

What's good? Another set of cables buggered on my commy, is that the worst cable routing possible?
Anyhow what's worth putting on? Did consider drilling the stops out, and using full outers, but the frames still In warranty (I think)
What's good? Another set of cables buggered on my commy, is that the worst cable routing possible?
Anyhow what's worth putting on? Did consider drilling the stops out, and using full outers, but the frames still In warranty (I think)
just read the commencal warranty, **** me, not much is covered anyhow.
warranty is void if you replace the original seatpost?!
Or raced!
I'm running a set of Gore ride on cables that I actually transplanted from my previous bike nearly three years ago. I'll be replacing them with the same again.
I've never had a problem with XTR cables plus middleburn cable oilers. Smooth as a babys bot after a year+
Had flying snake and the inner plastic cable sheath eventually snagged and caused the shifting to be crap.
Went back to XTR with full length outers.
I like full length outers if I'm honest.
Avoid Goodridge 'sealed' cables. All the Ferrules broke in two where there was a slight bend in the cable. They lasted about a month until I binned them and replaced with Gore Sealed.
Buy cheap, buy twice and all that.
Full length cables are my preffered choice but I wasn't prepared to drill the cable stops...
I have shimano shifter cables and my LBS had some think blue tube (from an RC car ariel I think?) which has been added where the outers would otherwise be missing, tends to keep the shit off them
who the hell ever though it was a good idea to leave some parts of the cable exposed anyway, another vote for full outers here. Get the drill out!
wanna photo of my cable strangeness?
MrNutt. Go on then
RS, getting more tempted by the minute
Flying snakes are not worth the money, as already said they soon snag on the sleeve, gonna try XTRs on the recommendation of a friend who swears by them, not at them, see what i did there?
Well I'll stick my head above the parapet and say that I'm happy with flying snakes mudlovers. Been on for 8 months of grim scottish weather and still super smooth, never touched them.
Ran Gore before, one set lasted 7 years, yes 7 years, even transplanted from one bike to another.
I've been running flying snakes on my rear mech. Coming up for 1.5 years now, riding through all sorts, and I've never had to touch them. Shifts as sweetly as the day I set it.
the cheapest cable outer all the way. Comes in about 3 quid. use the money you save to buy a dremel and do the drilling stops job properly.
SP41 + SP41 sealed end caps is what you need, see the parkers international website.
Flying snake are the best I've used.
The American mag did an interesting bit recently about using some heat shrink and some 3mm tubing to make a sealed system. I've found that not running full length outers does give a crisper shift as there's less housing to drag and flex.
Gore Ride-Ons. I've had one set that I've transplanted across two bikes. Its been going for about 2 years now. Gore Ride-Ons have a noticably lighter shift than full length outers (on my other bike)
I'll play devils advocate here. The reason cable runs have stops on the frame is that the cables need to be held in tension, and the very best way of doing that is to secure them against the frame. Full length outers may seem like a plan, but eventually dirt will get in, and then your shifting will be worse. it'll wear out your mechs and shifters quicker, and you'll get through more outer making your shifts less crisp. Even an XTR complete cable kit (outers inners, and so on) is only £15.00. Change it all once a year. Jobs a good un.
If full length runs were such a good idea, bikes would come like that, no?
My Alligators have lasted me through the winter so far and look pimp in gold
Cost me about 16 quid too from here: http://www.readytoridecycles.co.uk/cablesets-45-c.asp which isnt bad coming with fancy black ptfe cables.

BSOD on start up every 4 or 5 days - Toshiba laptop 3 mths old
I get the BSOD on a Toshiba Tecra R950 Laptop and need help interpreting the dump file. I cannot recreate the blue screen at will. It only happens when I start the machine up some mornings.
I've read it will get worse so I should do something about it while I am still in warranty.
The shop where I bought it from says they can't fix unless they can replicate the problem. Is this true? I've attached the file.
I can't identify anything in connection with the BSOD that I am doing, except I do notice sometimes that when I am using an Altec Lansing speaker the sound fading in and out. But BSOD doesn't happen at these particular times though.
Many thanks

Top 10 games in 2012
I am interested what is your list of 10 best games in 2012 and why?Here is mine:
1.Crusader kings II:It didn't grow on my heart as much as EU 3 or HoI 2/3 did but arguably best game developed by paradox.
2.Lone survivor:2D horror game with resolution of 160X90(it stretched to fit screen).I recommend to give this indie masterpiece a chance.
3.Dark souls: Superb combat, good level design,good atmosphere,well written lore,good art style bad port but good game in every aspect.
4.FTL:I didn't back this on kickstarter and I wasn't all that excited about it but this game exceeded all my expectations.Very addictive game.
5.King's bounty WotN:Also expansion that is why I didn't put it higher on list but so far best KB game imo.
6.Spec ops the line:Gameplay is mediocre but very good,dark and disturbing story and well written dialogs inspired by book Heart of darkness and movie Apocalypse now makes this 3rd person shooter one very memorable experience.
7.Miasmata:game I completed recently.Unique experience that one hate others love.I think it's more or less niche game but considering that price is 15 euros I would definitively recommend people to try it if you like it it fill be as I said unique and interesting experience if not it didn't cost that much anyway.
8.wargame european escalation: didn't get much media attention but this is quality RTS variety of units that where actually used during cold war that definitively deserves more attention than it got
9.Sins of solar empire rebellion:well it's stand alone expansion but this 4X/RTS hybrid is definitively one of my highlights this year.While game is good playing in large universe with AI opponents it excels in competitive multiplayer vs unpredictable human opponents.
10.Dishonored:Game is bit inferior to similar game DE:HR but good game nevertheless with one of better level and environment designing I seen too bad it stumbles on few places because it had potential to be classic.
I have not played all that many "new" games this year (lack of money and ancient computer), but here is a list of some games that I think are worthy contenders to the top 10 spot:
Legend of Grimrock: An interesting take on a classic style of CRPG. Great puzzle design and fun enemies. And now that the modding community has got its hands on the editor, it looks like this will be a game with some lasting value
Crusader kings 2: A surprisingly easy to get into paradox title, with a whole lot of depth to it. The best part of it is the stories that the game creates as you play it.
Spec Ops: The Line: Gameplay was just average, but the way it used its average gameplay to get its point across was interesting. It also had some moments that made me feel really uncomfortable.
Avernum: Escape from the Pit I've heard some people say that this version of the game is worse than Avernum 1, but I really liked it (and I have not played Avernum 1). Good writing and great tactical gameplay.
Warlock: Master of the Arcane A great take on the old Master of Magic formula. Excellent when played with with friends.
Resonance Classic point & click adventure with puzzles that for the most part made sense and a story that was quite memorable.
My top games of 2012 in order:
Crusader Kings 2.
Guild Wars 2.
Star Wars: The Old Republic (not sure if this one is 2011)
Kings Bounty: WotN
Might & Magic Heroes 6 (this is probably 2011 but I played it this year)
SW: TOR and Skyrim were both released at the end of 2011, so while they're 2011 games, they were primarily played in 2012 for most people.
Other than that, I'm not really sure what I ended up playing for most of 2012. I think the two top titles of 2012 for me are ME3 and Risen 2. ME3 was a great game until the last 10 minutes, and Risen 2 was a great game after getting used to it.
The only 2012 games I played were Grimrock, Sniper Elite V2, ME3, Dishonored and Far Cry 3, all of which I enjoyed.
1. Dark Souls
best action/RPG combat system ever, great level design, unique atmosphere, rewarding exploration
2. Mass Effect 3
best minute-to-minute combat in the series, superb resolutions to two of the series´ major story arcs, some nice character moments and, while certainly not flawless in execution, a unique experience of import save-driven customized narrative
3. Legend of Grimrock
a well executed homage to tile based first person dungeon crawlers, the amount of puzzles and secrets may be a bit too high given a somewhat limited variety but since this type of gameplay has been almost entirely missing in RPGs lately I totally didn´t mind having an overabundance of it in this game
4. The Walking Dead
since puzzles are as easy as they can get, as is majority of the QTEs, the game pretty much boils down to "TV" miniseries using interactive element as an immersion tool, and since the story and characters are mostly well presented I´ve found customizing the narrative and pc via dialogue and other choices to be a fun and sometimes quite intense experience overall, even though the quality is not consistent throughout and especially in the last two chapters there are some unconvincing story developments
5. Risen 2
after Risen PB seemed to be on a good way to return to the good old G1/G2 times, but since Risen 2 ended up as a two-steps-back-one-step-forward sequel it´s a title that disappointed me the most this year, however I´ve enjoyed it nevertheless, largely due to fresh setting and some aspects of unique PB flavour still being present
I´ve found the other 2012 games I´ve played to be mediocre and as such I don´t feel they´re worth being put on a top list. These would be Dishonored, Torchlight 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur, listed in order of preference.
I´d also mention The Witcher 2: EE which comes with some nice additions over the vanilla edition (in particular, I really liked the quest added to the Iorveth branch), but since I´ve played the bulk of it (aka the vanilla edition) in 2011 already I´m not putting it on the top list for 2012. If I would it would probably be right under Dark Souls.
DE:HR is MILES ahead of Dishonored in my opinion - no competition. It probably doesn't help that I don't like the art direction of Dishonored, and I'm none too fond of the setting either. It's the opposite for DE:HR - as I loved what they did with the atmosphere and especially the music.
Hmm, best of 2012. This is a hard one - not a lot of great games this year.
I'd say Secret World is probably the one that impressed me the most. It has an incredibly powerful atmosphere and fantastic storytelling. It also has a pretty cool character development system.
Borderlands 2 is also a fantastic game, and a strong sequel. It has improved pretty much everything - but left the core completely intact. Very good game.
For all its issues, I also think Diablo 3 might have been the best "short-term" (for this genre) experience of 2012. As in, I had a great time until I figured out its weaknesses. But I think I got a good 60-70 hours of strong entertainment before that happened.
Sleeping Dogs was also really, really good. The best GTA style game I've played since Red Dead Redemption - and it's better than both Saint's Row 3 and GTA 4.
Risen 2 was very good, but not truly great. Well, it's great compared to most other RPGs - but as a Piranha Bytes game, it's not good enough to warrant much excitement. It was as much a disappointment as it was a good experience.
Runners up would be Dishonored, X-Com, Fallen Enchantress and Far Cry 3. They all qualify as good games, but too far from greatness.
Biggest disappointment of 2012?
Probably Guild Wars 2 (though I was never that interested) - which is just a pathetic joke compared to the level of hype. Diablo 3 as a long-term contender for best in the genre also disappointed massively. I would add Mass Effect 3 - but it was par for the course for the new Bioware.
My list:
1. LoG
2. Avernum
3. The Walking Dead
4. Baldur's Gate Extended
5. Eq2, the most recent expansion is really decent. Still the only mmo worth playing.
KoTC is still my favorite game of, I'd say, the past 5 yrs. Hands down.
Suffice to say, I don't agree, and many others wouldn't either. That's a discussion for a different thread though…
I've played a bunch of games this year for a little bit so I don't have enough time with 10 separate games to make an educated opinion on them.
Most of my time this year went to skyrim 300 hrs and still haven't beaten it.
Only game I beat this year was legend of grimrock. So I guess that would be on the list.
Played XCOM, dishonored, farcry 3, of orcs and men and quite a few others but not substantial time with any of them. Maybe when I get done with skyrim one of those can be my favorite game of 2013.:)
So many games, so little time.
Oh we'll, hope you all have a great holiday I'm off to the in-laws.
Lots of time and STILL so many games! Gorram Steam sales! Plus I can't even remember now what games came out in 2012 and what didn't so I'm just going to ignore release dates completely.
1. Skyrim. I really love this game! So many mods to try out!
2. Thief Gold. I've been playing this a lot lately and it's still fun.
3. Saints Row: The Third. Me? Oh no, you won't catch ME playing a game like that! I mean, come on, a game that gives you an achievement called "Ow My Balls"?? The only reason Steam says I played it for 60+ hours and got said achievement is… uhh… because I bought it for a friend and Steam got confused. Yeah, that's the ticket.
4. The Last Remnant (again). The combat system is terribly fun for me. Square never even bothered to port it to PS3 because it wasn't selling well so I guess I'm one of the few that like it but I keep coming back to this game.
5. XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This could have been a lot higher but it had some nasty bugs when I was playing it. Still, it was good stuff.
6. Tropico 4. I didn't finish the main campaign but I still got 74 hours of fun out of the game.
7. Dungeon Keeper 2: Another retro game I enjoyed for quite a bit!
Noticably abscent - X: Rebirth. Where's my game Egosoft!?
I'm certainly slowing down as a gamer these days; didn't get to play as many as I'd like in 2012. My list would probably resemble something like:
1. Knights of the Chalice (Just the wonderful turn based combat alone made it the most infectious to play and fully appreciate. A real gem.)
2. Legend of Grimrock (Have to agree with others' sentiments in this thread on this great game. Seeing this genre come alive once more in this way was very gratifying to experience.)
3. Avernum: Escape from the Pit (My first Spiderweb game and a very lengthy and satisfying one at that. A party based open world with turn based combat? Yes please!)
4. Risen 2. I was never as immersed as I was with the first game; illustrated by the fact that I took a break from the game earlier in the year after finding the combat so different from what I loved about Risen. Still, when I had the time to devote to it, I found those familiar PB touches that I love liberally scattered throughout and still managed to enjoy the game.
5. Skyrim. It's TES. It's big, open yet not particularly fulfilling. Just not quite enough player agency to affect change in the world for my taste. I played two characters, none of them achieving especially high levels due to the overall lack of role-playing opportunities content wise. Still, I'm yet to build a mage, which will warrant a final DLC oriented playthrough.
6. Eschalon: Book I. When work was most heavy, I was playing this in very small doses and despite the repetitious nature of the combat, really liked the exploration and distinct gameplay style. I finished it and immediately installed the demo for Book II.
Disappointment of the year: Rage. Still playing: Dark Souls, Devil Whiskey…I can't even get to 10! :)
It seems it has been a dry year for rpgs. Last year we had witcher 2, skyrim and DX: hr plus other great games. I haven't yet played dishonored so I cannot comment it. Same goes for Mass effect 3 which I'm sure is a fun game to play through.
The best games I've played this year
1. Legend of grimrock is likely the best rpg this year for me atleast. Its old fashioned, but not akward to play. I found this little gem quite entertaining to play. This kind of gameplay has been absent for many years, hopefully the success of grimrock shows the light for other devs. Old school dungeon crawler can succeed.
2. LA Noire: Great old fashioned detective story, great atmosphere and surprisingly innovative gameplay. Not perfect by any means and some technological aspects leave a lot to be desired (its an obvious console port), but definitely a game which surprised me in a good way.
3. Assasin creed brotherhoord & Assasin creed: revolutions. Nothing groundbreaking here, but ubisoft has honed assasin creed series gameplay to near perfect. And whats best, every game seems to be getting better. Instead of stripping down features, they actually build on great foundation and keep adding more stuff. I haven't yet played ACIII, so if it fails, I cannot say. In any case so far AC games have all been well worth of my money. I only wish the games were harder.
4. Dead Space 1: I'm late, but I truly recommand this game. I had some issues with controls, but a bit of tweaking everything turned alright. Thanks JDR for help! I already picked up the sequel, but haven't had time to play it yet.
5. Black mesa: isn't it amaizing what bunch of dedicated fans can do? The perfect recreation of half life 1. It also shows how great half-life 1 was back in the day.
6. Put kotor 2's restoration mod on kotor 2, and it is a game it was ment to be. Content was restored and bugs were fixed, now its a joy to play through. Not really a full game, but I had such a blast replaying kotor 2 that it ended on this list.
7. Tribes Ascend. I've always loved tribes series' fast pace, vivid space visuals and it's tactical team oriented gameplay. Tribes 1 and tribes 2 are considered as classic fps titles, maybe even ahead of their own time. Anyhow bad stuff happened and tribes series went downhill untill Hirez studios picked it up last year and released their new tribes game: Tribes ascend. It takes an advantage of f2p model, so anyone can pick it up and try it out. Don't be afraid new blood (lvl 1-10) have their own servers, so you won't be crushed immediately :D
8. Skyrim (Dawnguard). Heck the fact that a mere dlc makes my best 2012 list, tells how few great rpgs have been this year. If i had to name the rpg i've played most..well it would be SKYRIM. Dawnguard dlc (as fun as it was) was really just an excuse to put it on my list again :)
9. Lotr: war in the north. An action rpg that slipped under my radar. Maybe its because of all the hobbit hype and because I recently rewatched lotr films, but I really had fun time playing this title. A guilty pleasure indeed :)
10. Baldur's gate Extended.
11. Risen 2: While I actually had a lot fun playing it through this year, I can't help myself not thinking how it could have been so much better if piranha bytes had done some things differently.
-Poor combat system (both melee and ranged). This is a travesty when you think how fun combat risen 1 had.
-Removal of magic system without proper explanation and replacing it with voodoo. If this was pb's vision, I feel very sorry for them. Voodoo in risen 2 is a one trick pony at best.
-weak lore: gothic games made sense and even risen 1 to some extent, but risen 2 doesn't. Its illogical because it has very few things common with risen1. Like how firearms were suddently invented and how mages were banished. I could go on and on, but I spare you guys from my silly drivel about this subject.
-More linear gameworld design was quite a dissapointment from a studio whose trademark has been open gameworld.
-Horrible QTEs. There is no excuse for stuff like this. Just because modern games use qtes, it doesn't mean you have to use them. If someone jumps from a bridge, does it mean that you have to follow him?
For the fun of waking up the dead, and with time allowing a colder point of view:
1 - XCom Enemy Unknown (Elite Edition): Ok some glitch but woo great and first turn based game that gave me the feeling to play a real time game.
2 - Legend of Grimrock: At every corner there's something interesting to do. Puzzles, action, exploration, tension, and more. Excellent gameplay.
3 - Endless Space: At least an alternative to Civ series bringing a fresh point of view on 4X games with an excellent merge of appeal, ease of use and depth.
4 - Mass Effect 3: Well very fun for me, I was even pleased by the ambiguous and not so clear end, at least some finesse… until I read all the whining that spoiled a bit my fun afterward. :-)
5 - Torchlight 2: Nothing really new here and I regret the design shift from the first, from a lot of dodging to quite less and much more anticipation dodging. But an extreme polishing and a huge improvement vs T1. The series that made me a true fan of this genre and not D2 that I played at release.
6 - Baldur's Gate Extended: I still don't understand all the wining about this refresh, very fun and that update is very welcome.
7 - Borderland 2: The first with everything hugely improved. Very fun but some design choices doesn't fit me that well, like items re-spawning, stuff to find only when you get the cursor hint, and few more.
8 - Diablo 3: Hahem, ok, the disappearance of builds, the restricted number of skills at same time and the stupid focus on item grinding spoil significantly the fun, but a noteworthy and fun game anyway.
I didn't played that much during 2012 so here some games that I still haven't played but I suspect they could get in my top 10: Hotline Miami, Dishonored, Risen 2, Faster Than Light.
So ok from what I played it's mixed, there isn't that many amazing releases. But my top 3 is three kicking ass Turn Based games in quite different genres, woo, that year is a date anyway for me. And moreover, even if late for Xcom, all the 3 was released on Mac. In fact 6 of the 8 I listed was released on Mac too and a day Torchlight 2 should be released on Mac too.
EDIT: Lol ok Grimlock isn't turn based, well a surprising and refreshing come back to an old school design. :-)
I don't think BG1:EE was horrible - it's just there's no wow factor. The fact that I can get the same result (or probably even better, considering the number of mods out there for Tutu) really doesn't help. And so far, the new NPCs (I'm carrying all 3 at once - not too keen on replaying this game 2 or 3 times in succession) aren't so interesting. Neera is getting really annoying quickly.
Now, please enlighten me, people. It seems like a lot of people enjoyed playing ME3. I want to know, why I can't enjoy this game. I really loved ME1 and 2 but this one I just can't get in to it. Ok, beside the horrible Origin (I've finally gotten over it), the quests so far have been go to different system and scan random place, hoping to find some artifect/war assets and get chased around by Reapers. That's not so fun. Is it because I'm still too early into the game? I LOVED ME2 the moment I started playing it, but considering that it took me a while to get into ME1, it could be a possible reason.
Well the point is with BG1 mods:
- I could be wrong and there's an option I didn't saw but they changed the walking speed and I hate it. If it works don't fix it, even modders can't understand that. ;)
- I never ever saw an option in the mods to have both big characters readable and higher resolution. The biggest I could have was far to be enough.
- I never seen a French version well managed by the mods there's always some crap.
- The pathfinding is the same than before.
- Install the mods is ridiculously complex with many little traps.
I don't care any wow factor for BG1EE BG1 is wow and BG1EE do the good job to manage well all the points above:
- Texts hugely well readable.
- Quick install.
- Normal walking speed (or am I wrong?)
- No French text problem, ok dialogs in English, but it's fine and clean (from what I have seen).
- Better pathfinding, ok still not perfect and some 3D bugs. :-)
Sure in exchange I got a few new minor problems but the result is largely positive for me. Only the last point not spend 2 boring hours (in fact much more each time) to install the mod crap is worthing the price I paid.
Otherwise I finished XCOM Enemy Unknown, what a great game, even the end is cool.
Myself it's M1 I tried so many time and failed enjoy so many time.
EDIT: That said ME1 is very different to ME2 and ME3, ME and ME3 are quite closer but different. For me they improved significantly the fights in ME3 and I got the feeling to explore more often in ME3, ok that's relative. At opposite ME2 has a hub design around the numerous companion NPC, and both number of NPC companions and that hub management gives a sort relative freedom feeling that hasn't ME3.
You bet there's tons of very good RPG I don't like at all? Everyone is definition on "good RPG" is different. Just because *you* like it, doesn't mean it's a very good RPG.
Funny how you think you know me so well and what RPGs I've played, when you probably don't even know which games I enjoyed/did not enjoy :)

"The Boondocks" Final Season Mixtape
The monumental and influential satirical show comes to an end with its fourth season. What better way to enjoy it than with some dope music?
The monumental and influential satirical show that pokes fun at race, culture, lifestyle choices, and social classes, comes to an end with its fourth season this year.
On April 21, Adult Swim's legendary series, "The Boondocks," starts its absolute final season of peering into the life adventures of Granddad, Huey, and Riley Freeman. As bittersweet as it may be, a group of talented folks came together and contributed some Boondocks-inspired tracks to help celebrate what the series stood for and what "The Boondocks" will be remembered as. And yo, the tape is fucking dope.
DJ Drama and the Aphiliates host "The Boondocks" Final Season Mixtape, with rappers like Killer Mike, Smoke DZA, and Two9 chiming in solid efforts, and notable production by The Alchemist, Roscoe Dash, and Chuck Inglish. The tape is loaded with a lot of new cats and fans of "The Boondocks," so you get a nice batch of well-known beat-makers and heavy spitters, along with some new dope artists DJ Drama and the Aphiliates are putting you on to.
The entire mixtape is free to download here, check out the trailer for the final season up above, and make sure to catch the first episode of "The Boondocks," Season 4, Monday, April 21 at 10:30 PM EST/PST on Adult Swim.

Funny enough, I do feel rejuvenated (despite feeling tired). What an odd combo right? I'm so much happier now than I have been in quite sometime. Perhaps it's a feeling of accomplishment, or a feeling that I am moving in the right direction. My future is still unsure, but I feel like I can see things a bit more clearly.
Hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving. I guess it's one of those holidays for me that I never really cared for much (SHOCK! how un-American of me lol). I also don't care for Turkey so maybe that's why. I don't know, much of Thanksgiving has lost it's meaning anyways in America. I did however enjoy days off of work to celebrate it :)
Anyways, so back to my new job. I know I told you all that I recently started working for Lush Cosmetics. I've really enjoyed (and learned a ton) from their training programs. I also feel more welcomed at Lush than any other job that I have had. Possibly because everyone is allowed to be themselves. Some of you may not know that this was a huge leap for me as I have a bit of an anxiety issue when it comes to crowds, and I am really starting to deal with that with a positive approach and I'm much happier as a person too. So it's been ALL GOOD in the hood ;)
And of course I have loads of products to review in the up coming months. I've been doing a lot of product testing and I'm not quite allowed to write about them yet, but boy has it been a fun month for that! I am having a hard time finding space for it all in my tiny little room.
So before I head off, I just wanted to show you all my LUSH stash. For you lushies out there, you will love this, for everyone else, you are going to think "it looks like food" lol
Take care and will be back as soon as my schedule is set in place and I have a bit more time to blog.
LUSH Products!
My really lovely team!

Comments about Cat Gloves:
A little big for my 2.5 year old but they kept her hands warm when she went treating!

As described
By Jeanette
Not great
By Ginger
The paw prints started coming off before she wore it out of the house. Not very well made.
A+ costume addition
By Peg
Absolutely darling ~ purrfect accessory for my cat costume. Size is perfect for my small adult hands. From previous reviews that mentioned the paw print spots are not attached securely. I simply took my mini hot glue gun and sealed each spot. So won't have to worry about being careful with them. Also will be warm on Halloween evening. Highly recommend.

Perfect accessory
By barbara
My daughter loves these. They will work perfectly to compliment her costume. Good price.

not good
By Morgan
My daughter tried them on. The paw pieces looked like they were just stuck on like stickers. They barely stuck on. She tried them on once and the pieces were hanging. Definetly cannot use them. Either try to glue them back on better myself. But shouldn't have to since I bought them brand new.

soft and fuzzy
By Amy
Fuzzy and cute; can see the pads only lasting for halloween
Would not recommend.
By Elizabeth
I really like these gloves. The material is soft and comfortable. My only issue with these gloves is that the little cat paw pads are a bit too close together. They also are not sewn on, rather just put on with what appears to be hot glue. The pads are easy to lift up and won't last too long.

The cat gloves were adorable. A clever addition to my daughter's costume.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Oakdale, (Minn.) all-purpose back prospect Jay Thomas (6-foot-0, 175 pounds) from Tartan High School has two scholarship offers under his belt so far this summer.
"I have scholarship offers from both Northern Illinois and Minnesota," Jay Thomas said. "Several schools have also expressed recruiting interest this summer, and several schools said that they will be back in school on September 1st and they also said they want to see some senior tape."
Thomas talked about his latest offers.
Article Continues Below
"Northern Illinois offered me during the May evaluation period, and they were my first offer. I've never been to NIU but I have family who live in the Chicago area, and I'm going to try to make an unofficial visit to DeKalb later this summer. I know that NIU has been very successful over the last few years and that they were nationally ranked last year."
"I went to a one-day camp at the U (Minnesota) in June, and the coaches offered me after the camp. I really like the coaching staff at Minnesota. They seem very down to Earth and I get along very well with them. I'm also very familiar with the facilities and the campus, and it's an honor to get an early offer from the in-state Big 10 school."
Thomas, who has been receiving steady recruiting interest from Indiana, Iowa State, Michigan State and North Dakota, hasn't set any deadline as to when he'll make his final college choice.
"I've been really busy this summer with basketball as well as lifting and getting ready for my senior year, so I haven't given too much thought towards making my final college choice. I'll see what happens once the fall comes around, and I'm just going to take some time to decide."

Staff writers Robbie Andreu and Adam West take a closer look at today's game at Kyle Field.
Staff writers Robbie Andreu and Adam West take a closer look at today's game at Kyle Field.
Texas tough on Gators
Florida does not have much of a history with Texas A&M. The Gators and Aggies have played only twice, with UF defeating A&M 42-6 in Gainesville in 1961 and losing to the Aggies 37-14 in the 1977 Sun Bowl. The Gators have a little bit of history playing in the state of Texas, and it is not good. UF has played in the Lone Star state 10 times and is 1-7-2 in those game. The last time the Gators ventured into Texas was for the 1982 Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston, where UF fell to Arkansas 28-24.
Manziel is the man for Aggies
Redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel is set to make history today, becoming the first freshman quarterback to start an A&M season opener since 1944. Manziel and Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel have some things in common. They both came out of high school the same year, were both highly rated prospects, both were standout dual-threat quarterbacks in high school and both enrolled in college early. In his senior year at Kerrville High School, Manziel threw for 3,609 yards and 45 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,674 yards. While Manziel redshirted last season, Driskel played in five games for the Gators as a true freshman.
Checking out the Cougars
With Texas A&M's opener against Louisiana Tech postponed due to Hurricane Isaac last week, the Gators had no tape on the Aggies to watch this week. Instead, they've been studying tape of University of Houston games from last season to get a good idea of what the Aggies will do on offense under first-year coach Kevin Sumlin, the head coach at Houston the past four seasons. Conversely, the Aggies do have a Florida game tape to study this week. But it probably doesn't reveal much. Like Sumlin said earlier this week, the Gators basically showed nothing (offensively or defensively) in their opener against Bowling Green last Saturday.
Some big-time protection
UF's defensive front was frustrated a week ago by a quick-hitting Bowling Green passing attack that left almost no opportunities for sacks. The Gators ended up with one against a team that threw the ball 52 times. UF may have an even more difficult time getting to the quarterback today, and not so much because of a quick, short passing game, but because the Aggies really know how to protect their QB. A&M gave up only nine sacks all last season, and four of the five starting offensive linemen return. And the Aggies do it right. The offensive line has not been flagged for holding since the second game last season. That's protection.
New beginnings
When the Aggies take the field today, almost everything will be new. A new QB in Johnny Manziel will run a new up-tempo offense brought in by new head coach Kevin Sumlin as Texas A&M begins a new season in a new conference. It might be Week 2, but an approaching Hurricane Isaac turned the Aggies' originally scheduled opener at Louisiana Tech into an SEC home opener this week.
Dirty laundry
Florida was one of the most penalized programs in college football last season as coach Will Muschamp saw 100 flags that resulted in 773 penalty yards. UF is on pace for an even higher rate after committing 14 penalties in its opener. First-week jitters may have played a role, but now Florida enters a hostile environment at Kyle Field where communication breakdowns could be frequent.
Identity crisis?
Muschamp said he wanted to establish the Gators' identity as a running team, and Florida demonstrated that commitment to the ground game featuring new starter Mike Gillislee in last week's too-close-for-comfort victory over Bowling Green. Texas A&M was second in the Big 12 last year in stopping the run, giving up only 101.8 rushing yards per game. Now that Jeff Driskel has been named UF's starting quarterback, this might be the week the Gators look to start throwing downfield more often, especially if the running game struggles early on.
Sack attack
If the Gators are going to have success in the passing game, it will be up to Florida's veteran offensive line to give Driskel time to find his receivers against a Texas A&M defense that led the nation with 51 sacks last season. Much of the Aggies' team might be new, but their two sack leaders from last year are back in senior strongside linebacker Sean Porter (9.5 last year) and junior defensive end Damontre Moore (8.5).

SANTIAGO, April 7 (Reuters) - Cabin crew members of LATAM Airlines' Chilean unit will go on strike Tuesday to demand better salary and working conditions, forcing the regional carrier to cancel or reprogram more than 100 domestic flights.
"We were in talks with the company all weekend long, but it was impossible to reach an agreement because of the lack of minimum conditions that we feel are non-negotiable," Giannina Fiora, union leader for cabin crew members of the LAN Express unit, said in an interview.
LAN Express covers routes within Chile and other South American destinations.
LATAM Airlines, the region's largest carrier, published on its website a list of more than 100 domestic Chilean flights that had to be canceled or reprogrammed from Tuesday through Sunday because of the planned strike.
The airline said the measures were "a way to minimize the potential impact on passengers."
The airline, which formed in mid-2012 when Chile's flagship LAN took over Brazil's TAM, has domestic operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. (Reporting by Felipe Iturrieta and Anthony Esposito; Writing by Anthony Esposito; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn)

I wouldn't mind checking out the whatever is selling the best, and the 2.5 would be the right engine to compare the Maz6, Accord, and Optima EX $25k models.
On the Mazda I want to drive the 2.5i Touring of course. I need to see how much black plastic is in it compared to mine. I like the Instrument panel on the Mazda in the pictures. I really want to see if I like the way it looks in person too. Not sold on the grill.
As I have said before a family member works for Mazda so I will just go over there and ask for one for the day.

I think it's going to be a great car. Before that I test drove the AWD version of the same car, and it felt sluggish. They probably take a long time to break in.

puppybone69 Posts: 24You will absolutely love it, once the engine is broken in, and you can start really driving it. I just got mine past the 1000 mile mark, and now that I can fully experience what it can do, I just love it even more and am finding more excuses to drive it more aggressively. Its usual quiet purring becomes a very satisfying growl when you gun it and kick the turbo boost in! I was just driving it like grandpa going to church, just waiting to get it past the green light for going balls out, and finding out what it's capable of, and now that I know, it's a total blast!
I went over to Mazda. Drove it, loved it. It was fully loaded and the fit/finish was excellent. I was very lucky to get any seat time at all, and what I did get was in Tyson's Corner gridlock. I hate driving there.
I got her up to 50 mph, and did a few full throttle stoplight to stoplight acceleration runs, and there is good power down low. I did notice that there was a lot of black plastic, but it was of high quality.
The sticker was $28k, for the Touring i model with leather and heated seats. Don't count on negotiating a deal until dealers are fully stocked. The demo I drove was not for sale....it was there just to garner pre-orders. So, don't run over to Mazda with a wad of cash till April.
What everyone was really excited about was the new Skyactiv D - 2.2 liter Diesel, which will have 175 HP and 310 lb ft torque. Now, what is really cool is that it has a 14.1 compression ratio (super low for a compression burn engine), so it will rev more like a gas engine.
The bottom line is that the new diesel will finally enable Mazda to wage war with Americas only successful line of Diesel compact and mid-size sedan products.... Volkswagen TDI .

Well I was recently contacted by a Ford customer service representative who firmly explained to me through two phone conversations that my understanding of a 16.5 gallon tank holding 16.5 gallons is wrong and that filling to 12 gallons when the fuel light comes on is what it was designed for and what I should expect. She explained that there is 1 gallon reserved for vapor (huh?) and 2 gallons of reserve. She was so incredulous that I would question this issue that she didn't bother to notice that 12+2+1 still comes up 1.5 gallons short of the published capacity but what the heck do I know? Perhaps Ford should start using the term "usable capacity" in their specifications. In the next model year, they are going to have a back seat with the capacity to fit four people but you will only be able to actually fit two. The upside is you'll actually be able to prove or disprove this before you leave the dealership.
While this may seem trivial to some, if you drive long distances it becomes a nuisance - especially in the northern plain states where there is a lot of empty space. I've lost close to 1/3 of travel range for a tank of gas because of this compared to what I previously drove (and still considered buying another of).
And to those who use a relatively current iPhone (4, 4S - can't speak to 5 but it runs the same iOS) and are thinking about using Sync - forget it. My $50 Plantronics M50 Bluetooth earpiece connects to the iPhone in seconds and is rock solid with answering and ending calls. Pairing the iPhone with Sync creates a lot of lag that interferes with most everything else Sync does. Not having the iPhone paired with Sync allows the Sync system to operate extremely well but you of course lose one of the things you maybe purchased the car for - hands-free/device-free Bluetooth. Why they can't provide the equivalent functionality I have in the tiny Bluetooth earpiece in the very impressive Sync system is beyond me.
Rant off :mad:
You can keep driving after the light comes on. My accord light comes on with about 3.5 gallons left. I can still drive 100 miles then fill up and put in 16 or so gallons on a 17.1 gallon tank. Best tank is 670 miles on my 2007.
Have not had my 2013 out on a highway trip yet but it is getting better mpg than the '07 on similar trips. Should be able to hit 700 miles.
While this may seem trivial to some, if you drive long distances it becomes a nuisance - especially in the northern plain states where there is a lot of empty space.
I hear ya. One of the things I look for when doing comparisons for a future purchase is range on a tank. This is for two reasons. One, like you, I like to fill up less frequently when on a trip of length. Two, the fewer number of times I have to fill up in the dead of winter the better. Seems all the manufacturers have reduced their tank size. I'm sure it's to save a few pounds which probably equates to .05 better mpg and they must figure since they have increased MPG overall that people won't care because, after all, they are still getting the same supposed range as before. For awhile the Altima still kept it's 20 gal tank and could get 34-35 on the hwy. That was some range. Now I see they have reduced to tank size to 18 or less.
I agree that it would be nice if there was a "usable capacity" amount that could be referenced. When they reserve 2 gals for this and a gal for that it affects a smaller capacity tank more than it affects a larger tank as a percentage.
That's just because the engineers haven't identified the problem with the fuel tanks so there is nothing "official" to report yet. There is something wrong - either a baffle problem or the wrong tank. One person was getting 12 gallons and after replacing the tank was able to put in at least 14 gallons on E.
I have a 2013 Fusion with MFT and an iPhone 5 and have never had a single problem with the phone pairing or not pairing or messing up anything else. It's either a bad phone, bad software (3.5.1 is the latest version) or a bad APIM in the car. It's not a flaw with sync or MFT.
Thats encouraging to hear. I suppose I can try it with my wife's 4S to see if its a bad phone. But seeing how it works well with other Bluetooth devices (Plantronics & Jawbone) my guess is it isn't the phone. Kirby you seem tied into Ford, what do you recommend I do? My dealer doesn't seem too willing to dive into the BT issue. It becomes a finger pointing exercise. I appreciate the help.
Ford recommended I do not drive far after the light comes on. That's when we got into the "well is there 2 more gallons in there or not?" discussion. I came away with the impression they are virtual.
That is just fords lawyers talking. You can drive after the light comes on. They just don't want to tell you it is OK because you might then ignore the light and run out of gas on the highway, get hit and sue them. Kinda like the packing material that says "don't eat"
Having said that you don't want to run out of gas because that can hurt the fuel pump, but driving another 30-50 miles with the light on won't hurt anything.
I understand your point but it's probably easier to experiment with in the summer than in the middle of Winter in Minnesota.
Not easier.....smarter.
I'd be interested in what your owner's manual says about what to do when the light comes on. It probably says that "you should fuel at your earliest convenience" or something like that. Maybe it gives some more detail which would be interesting to see.
I'm not tied to Ford but first try unpairing the phone. Delete Sync from the phone and vice versa. power the phone off and back on. Do a master reset, pull the sync fuse or pull the negative battery cable to reset MFT. Then repair the phone and try again. If it still has problems try another phone. If both phones have problems check the software version on syncmyride.com and update that if necessary (you can do that yourself). If all that fails then you probably have a bad APIM - ask the dealer to change it.
The videos suggest the cars have serious safety problems.

between Accord, Fusion, and Altima for 2nd place.
And the brutal shoot-out for sales continues....The winner: the customer. The best midsize cars ever at very competitive prices.
Big surge by Fusion. I think Ford wants to pass the Accord, but I don't think Honda will give up without a fight. The Camry slumps, but is still comfortably ahead for now.
Surprising fall for VW's Passat. What's going on there? I guess the old tech low mpg/low power base engine caught up with it? The often last-place rated Malibu also seems to be sinking.
Done with all the research and test driving. Ordered a 2014 Mazda 6 Sport with auto.

I saw your baby at my local dealer a few weeks ago:
http://www.jeffschmittmazda.com/2014-Mazda-MAZDA6-i-Sport-Beavercreek-OH/vd/1335- - 1872
It was just off the truck so the extra $300 red paint job didn't look so good. Looks much better now that they cleaned her up. What are you paying for it?
msrp 23590
Actually, 2nd place is taken by Hyundai/Kia.
Got it at invoice on the S-plan. A friend bought the Touring in silver. Personally didn't care for the pleather interior nor did I want 19" wheels. I really was going to buy it in reflex blue but when I saw it in person it was too slate colored for my tastes.
Ford called you to explain the operation of a gas tank??? (I am laughing really hard about your post...with you; not at you).
The gas tank issue sounds complicated. Maybe it's in the manual under My-Fords-Tank?
There are just so many things wrong about that. Almost as complicated as My Ford Touch, which if operated at speed could result in: My Fords Totaled.
Don't want to continue having issues? Then you can look into the latest acronym, My-Fords-Traded. :P

I saw a sport V6 in reflex blue and thought it looked awesome. I very much liked the 19" wheels. :confuse:
Chris Skalski: Network Engineer 2012 Kia Optima EX
Saw an ad in my local paper yesterday for a 200 Limited V6, under $20k. Seemed pretty loaded with leather etc., and has one of Chrysler's best engines. The 200 isn't that well regarded in the mid-sized class (as in "last", with cousin Avenger), but since its refresh last year the looks inside and out aren't too bad, so if someone really wants that V6 feel, this might be the cheapest way to get it in a new car.
Don't think you saw a 2014 V6. They aren't making them.
My Ford touch is not that complicated, so obviously you have never used it.
There are some functional issues, but the good thing about software is that it can be improved without 'throwing out the baby with the bath water'.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2014 Ford F-150 FX4
I looked into it. The new Honda Accord Sport has dual exhaust and 18" alloys, and is 4cyl. Easy to mistake for a V6. It is even more odd that the bigger wheels are not standard on the V6 EX-L or the Touring.... Making it very hard to spot the higher end models visually.

Former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt routed Eduardo Schwank of Argentina 6-1, 6-0 on Monday to reach the second round at Queen's Club.
Hewitt, who won the grass-court Wimbledon warmup from 2000-02 and again in 2006, broke three times in each set and saved the only break point he faced.
The Australian closed it out in 44 minutes with a lobbed winner on his second match point.
"It was good," Hewitt said. "You're never exactly sure how you're going to play and how confident you're going to be first match on grass. But I came out of the blocks really well and was seeing the ball well and returned extremely well from start to finish."
American Sam Querrey ousted 12th seeded Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 7-6 (10), 6-4, firing 13 aces.
After games in the first set went with serve, Querrey held off five set points in the tiebreaker before clinching when Chardy double-faulted. A break for 5-4 then left Querrey serving for the match in the second.
"The winner of that breaker was most likely going to go on to win it," said Querrey. "I felt like I served really well. I was only in trouble one time, and I felt like I returned well too."
Other first-round winners included 10th-seeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain, Andreas Seppi of Italy and Kristof Vliegen of Belgium.
Lopez beat Robert Kendrick of the United States 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), while Seppi outlasted Robby Ginepri of the United States 5-7, 7-6 (4), 6-3 to earn a matchup with top-seeded Andy Murray.
Vliegen topped Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 7-6, 6-4 and will next play No. 2 Andy Roddick, who won the tournament from 2003-05.

As of r399238, when the heimdal port option was selected, this port did
not build properly. Prior to r399238, even if the heimdal port was
installed, the base krb5 libraries and include files were used. This is
because ports/security/heimdal places its libraries in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/heimdal and include files in ${LOCALBASE}/include/heimdal,
which this port does not look for (unless told to do so... by this commit).

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 4 (Reuters) - Brazil's securities industry watchdog, CVM, must sharpen its focus on corporate governance as well as detect and punish those breaking capital markets rules more quickly if it is to boost its credibility, a director on CVM's board said on Wednesday.
In his first speech as a CVM director, Pablo Renteria said the watchdog must fine-tune penalties, including updating the value of fines. CVM may also implement so-called leniency accords, in which defendants would have their penalties reduced in exchange for admitting wrongdoing and cooperating with the CVM, he said.
Improving corporate governance in Brazil "would allow us to take a leap of credibility," Renteria said. In recent years, investors have grown skeptical about transparency in Brazilian capital markets and the government's respect of minority shareholder rights.
Exchange operator BM&FBovespa SA is working on a corporate governance framework for state-controlled companies, Chief Executive Officer Edemir Pinto said last month. The plan aims to restore confidence after intervention by President Dilma Rousseff in state-run companies since 2011 triggered losses for investors.
Renteria, who worked at CVM between 2008 and 2013, is a member of the agency's five-seat voting board of directors. Another director, Ana Novaes, left in December and has yet to be replaced.
By the end of this year, the agency will have analyzed and ruled on all investigations opened before 2011, CVM President Leonardo Pereira said on Wednesday. He has been in charge of CVM since November 2012. (Reporting by Juliana Schincariol; Writing by Guillermo Parra-Bernal; Editing by Peter Galloway)
