There are not many people in Ethete who do not get excited by the prospect of buying a new car. This excitement can sometimes be deflated by the whole finance thing. If your credit history is not so good, or basically non-existent, then you may need to find a bad credit car loan.
The fact is buying a car for most people is one of the biggest purchases they will ever make. Owning a car is kind of like a right of passage for a lot of people, and definitely a sign of "coming of age" for most teenagers. Let face it, we all need a reliable car to get around, and most of us would rather drive a nice new or late car than an old bomb. But nice new or late model cars are obviously a lot more expensive than old cars, and that means that most of us will require some sort of auto loan. The problem is that if you have a poor credit history, or have not had time to establish a good credit record, then its going to feel like the whole financial system has it in for you. Unfortunately banks and most financial or lending businesses do not look favorably on people with no or bad credit history.
When buying a car, some things to keep in mind may include. If you are planning to buy a used car, get a friendly mechanic to give it a once over. Keep in mind additional costs such as insurance, registration etc. And most importantly, to enjoy the pride and freedom that owning your own car creates.
How Do You Know What Kind of Loan is Right For You in Ethete?
Auto refinance is where you take out a new loan to pay off your current auto loan. When you do this you will normally look to get a better loan. This generally means getting a lower rate of interest which makes the loan cheaper. You may also look to extend the term of the loan to reduce the amount required to be paid each month. This does not reduce the cost of the loan but will make the monthly payments more manageable.
If you have a low credit score for example one that is around 600 or lower then you will need to shop around to get a good loan. You will have to undertake research and the best way to do this is use the internet. It is usually a lot cheaper and quicker than calling individual auto finance or auto refinance lenders. If you find a loan you like then you can normally apply on line and get a response within a few days.
You can search for companies that specialize in auto refinancing. There are many out there who will give a good deal to those who pay on time. The specialist auto finance and auto refinance sites often have calculators that allow users to compare payments for loans of different lengths and at different rates of interest.
Auto refinance calculators will often require you to input the details of your current auto loan so it is usually a good idea to have the paperwork to hand. You will normally need to specify the amount required to pay off the loan and the number of months left on the current loan. When calculating the outstanding balance on your auto loan pick a day 10-14 days ahead. This allows a week or two for the auto refinance loan to be granted.
While calculators are useful in giving the user an indication of the cost of the loan, it should always be remembered that there are other factors to take into account when looking for a loan. So if you are going to take out an auto refinance loan, read the terms and conditions. Pay particular attention to those which cannot be mathematically calculated and therefore do not get taken into account by the calculator.
If you are looking to get an auto refinance loan then you may look at getting a personal or unsecured loan from a financial institution such as a bank. Banks are often stricter than other lenders when it comes to the criteria for qualifying for a loan. However, if you already have a relationship with a bank, such as a current account, checking account or saving account, then it can help enormously and give you a better chance of obtaining a loan.
How to Find Bad Car Credit Loans Online Without a Hassle
What Are First Time Buyer Auto Loan Programs?
Whether you are buying your first new or used car or are planning to apply for online auto loans for the first time, understanding how automobile dealerships and lenders see you, and what you can do to improve that image, can help you to be prepared in advance of applying for online auto loans for the first time, so that you will be in a better position to get approved for an car loan with a lower interest rate and better terms. After all, you want your monthly auto loan payment to be the lowest it can possibly be, right?
Who might apply for first time buyer car loans? Some people that first time auto loan programs can help could be:
* Teenagers, personally buying their first car in their own name will need to apply for first time buyer auto loans as they have no credit history behind them
* College students living away from home for the first time frequently have not had time to build a credit history before leaving for school and so will often need to apply for first time buyer car loan programs
* People that have always paid cash for a vehicles in the past, but now want to upgrade to a newer one or are forced to take out automobile loan because they do not have the cash funds to buy a vehicle at present
* Immigrants that have moved here from other countries, and thus have left their credit histories behind, may need to apply for first time auto loan programs in order to start building a credit history
Not All First Time Auto Loan Borrowers are in the Same Boat
The first thing to realize is that not all first time borrowers are in the same boat. There can be a lot of differing factors that can either work in your favor, or against you when you are applying for online auto financing. For instance:
* Are you employed full or part time? If you are not employed, do you have an income? Not being employed is not necessarily a game stopper, but if you plan to have your name on the title of the car and on the auto finance, you will need to demonstrate that you have either a job, regular income, or other funds that you will be paying your monthly auto loan payment from. Of course, the higher that your income is, the easier it will be to qualify for lower interest rate first time buyer auto loan programs.
* Do you have no credit history, because you are just starting out your financial life, or do you have a bad credit history/low credit score because you have had a few credit slip-ups in the past? Dealerships will certainly work with you in either case. However, if you have a low credit score, depending on how bad your credit history is, the dealership may be inclined to offer you a higher rate of interest and a lower credit limit on first time buyer auto loans as opposed to someone that has not made any credit mistakes in their financial life yet.
Note, see our recent article entitled "How to Get Approved for an Auto Loan with Bad Credit if you have Low Income" to learn how to get unwanted items removed from your credit report to bring up your credit score.
* Will you have any funds available to make a down payment on your auto loan? Whether you are applying for first time buyer auto loans, or if you have had auto loans in the past and just need another one now, what every auto dealership or lender is going to take into consideration when assessing your application and the items on this list is; how much of a risk are they taking in making an auto loan to you and what if anything can they get you to do to mitigate that risk. Making a down payment is one thing that you can do to mitigate the dealership's risk, making them more likely to quickly approve your automobile loan and to give you a more reasonable interest rate. In addition, a down payment will obviously bring down what you owe on the vehicle and so your monthly payments will be lower and more affordable. Down payments are usually not required to get online auto loans, but they can be very helpful when negotiating with a dealership. Even a small down payment can make a difference in how the dealership sees you.
* Is there someone that you know that would be willing to cosign for you on your auto loan? Cosigners are not required in order to get online auto loans, even if you have bad credit or no credit history at all. However, the use of a cosigner can save you a lot of money and make the application process go much more quickly and smoothly. A cosigner is someone that puts their name on your loan application along with yours, guaranteeing that the loan will be repaid. The limit and maximum amount of your automotive loan will be determined by the cosigner's income and credit standing, not yours. So, if you choose to have a cosigner, make sure to pick one that has a high credit score. With a cosigner, there is really no need to look for first time buyer auto loans because you will be treated by the dealership as though the higher credit score and income were yours.
* What is the ratio of your monthly housing payment as compared to your income? A little known fact is that auto dealerships and lenders pay attention to this number. For instance, if you make $1,000 per month income, and your monthly housing cost is $300, then your housing cost takes 30% of your income. Anything over 40% will send up a red flag to the dealership/lender and they may need convincing that you can make your monthly payments on time. Take this into consideration when you complete your auto finance application.
Taking the above items into consideration, you should be able to get a clearer picture of how automotive dealerships and automotive loan lenders see you, and what you can do to control that image, at least to some extent. Once you have submitted your application, the die has been cast and you will see what the dealership offers you at that point.
It is important to be smart when applying for first time buyer auto loan programs and to take any advantage available to you, regardless if you are applying for auto loans online or in the dealership itself. Be prepared. After all, how high or low that your car payments will be every month for probably several years will depend on it.

Today, I'm going to write about how life works. No shit, totally serious stuff. This post is inspired from this comic I read on 9GAG Akimbo Comics.
It's funny how most of us are so busy trying to figure out our life that we forget that we have it already figured out. Our lives right now are a direct realisation of how we want them to be – even without knowing it.
You might ask though: "But I wanted to be super-smart and filthy rich! I'm none of those things at the moment! My life sucks bollocks!" Well, my point still holds. If you really wanted all those things, you'd spend ALL your waking hours working towards those goals. You probably wouldn't attend to your social life, watch TV, enjoy your hobbies or maintain relationships. With enough hard work and perseverance, there's no reason why you wouldn't achieve your goals! But that's where the trap-door lies. Your other occupations are far more important than the goals you think you want to achieve.
What about things which are out of your control? It's a waste of time thinking about them. I quote from the comic "Worrying about shit you can't change is a waste. You might as well be pissed you can't fly or breathe underwater." This is absolutely true, and I speak from experience.
All in all, the thought I'm trying to instil here is that we can have absolutely whatever we want in life – just as long as we're absolutely willing to put in more than a hundred percent in achieving it. Putting in 50 percent will only get you half the way. Our circumstances are a DIRECT consequence of our thoughts and actions.
Here's the original comic from 9GAG Akimbo Comics:

German Merger Control: German Federal Cartel Office Publishes Draft Guidelines on Jurisdiction for Merger ReviewSullivan & Cromwell LLP - 6 December 2013
On 5 December 2013, the German Federal Cartel Office (Bundeskartellamt) published new draft guidelines on its jurisdiction to review M&A transactions.
Under German law, a transaction does not automatically require notification to, and prior approval by, the Federal Cartel Office if the parties' turnover meets the German filing thresholds. Transactions are notifiable (and require approval) only if they have sufficient "domestic effect" on competition, i.e., sufficient nexus to Germany. This sets German merger control apart from the EU merger control rules which apply extra-territorially and can subject transactions to merger review that have no effect on competition in the EU, but where the parties' turnover meets the applicable filing thresholds.
The draft guidelines that the Federal Cartel Office has released for public consultation are intended to provide guidance on the concept of "domestic effect". The Federal Cartel Office hopes that this will enable parties to a proposed merger to determine more easily and quickly whether their transaction requires notification and approval in Germany. This is particularly relevant for foreign-to-foreign transactions.
The draft guidelines confirm that the formation of joint ventures will not require merger control approval in Germany if (i) the joint venture is not, and will not be, active in Germany (or a wider geographic market that includes Germany) and (ii) the parents, despite meeting the filing thresholds in Germany, do not compete on any market in Germany (or a wider geographic market that includes Germany).
The Federal Cartel Office has invited comments on the draft guidelines by 30 January 2014. It intends to adopt the new guidelines thereafter, at which time they will replace the current guidelines on "domestic effect" that have been in force since 1999.

A year ago the lovely and talented Lili Wright—author of Learning to Float, Depauw University rock star, and my nonfiction workshop prof in the Butler MFA program—made me better and then messed me up. On a sunny April afternoon, seated across from me at a bistro table outside the Butler bookstore, she challenged me to start submitting my work. "By July, send out three," Lili said.
But where?*
"Clean up your senior photo story a little," she said, "and I could see it in New York Times Lives."
And so I did, only I didn't wait until July, and I didn't clean it up enough, evidently. When August rolled around with nary a word from New York, I started submitting that story and others to journals I dug. Thus began a comically robust collection of rejection notices in my inbox, which didn't deter me, really. The rejections at first stung, but they made me write (and rewrite) harder and become ruthless with the use of Delete in my revisions.
Wait, that's not entirely true. I do hold a new black belt in hacking down my stories, but the rejections kinda messed me up. But what messed me up more? The ACCEPTANCE email I received a week before my birthday. "Congratulations!" in my Inbox caused a nasty flare-up of neuroses.
After precisely fifteen minutes of eye-dabbing Sally Field gratitude, my inner Woody Allen got to work sabotaging my joy and minimizing my accomplishment. It's not the New York Times, that SOB in my head said. They probably only had two writers submit for this issue. The editor must be overworked. Why else would she choose you for the showcase writer interview? She probably picked your name out of a hat. And those questions she asked, are you kidding me? Just try answering them with a straight face. You know what your peers and professors will say when they read it. You're a fraud. You're a hack.
Enter the gracious and brilliant Bryan Furuness, who shared the following wisdom:
Look: the writing life is a black sky of rejection, punctuated every few million light years by a tiny starpoint of success. In other words, the writing life is full of things that can make a body feel despair, so when you come across a moment that can actually make you feel joy and hope, your job is TO LET YOURSELF FEEL GOOD. Take the joy. Don't qualify it, don't ameliorate it, don't yeah-but it. Take it. And fuck anyone who tries to take even a smidge of it away from you.
Take THAT, Woody Allen.
Bless you, Lili Wright, for pushing me out into open waters where I'd learn to float.
And curly-red Niya Sisk, thank you for giving my work a cozy home in Curly Red Stories.
"I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!"

Do not attempt to move your piano on your own
There's quite a bit that goes into moving a piano, and this definitely isn't the kind of task that you are going to want to take on all on your own – especially if you haven't a lot of experience moving pianos in the past!Not only are pianos ridiculously heavy, but they also happen to be some of the most delicately designed and fragile instruments on the planet, and even just a little bit of bumping can end up costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repairs and tuning later down the line. This is why so many people elect to hire the very best piano moving services available when it comes time to get their piano from one place to another – even on the same property! There are a lot of different things you want to think about before you get started with this project with or without the help of professional piano movers, and hopefully we are able to shed at least a little bit of light on the subject for you moving forward.
Believe it or not, your piano is most definitely the largest and most complex mechanical item that you have in your home – and honestly it is in close competition.

Nicole came to UCLan at Foundation Entry via Clearing, and graduated with a first-class honours. She recently went into an internship here at UCLan as a PASS Co-ordinator, and has now been offered the position on a full-time contract. PASS utilises the experience of higher year students by training them as facilitators to support first year students in finding solutions to their academic study problems themselves, through guided discussion and questioning.
"I found the whole Clearing process to be incredibly pleasant. Having gone through a really unpleasant time with college, where I received no support and guidance which resulted in me having to drop out, I was really anxious about making the big step to contact the University. I was also the first to ever go to University in my immediate family, and so I had no idea what to expect. I also have a hearing impairment and suffer from an undiagnosed condition where I can lose consciousness out of nowhere, which has never stopped me, yet throughout education I was always told I wouldn't amount to anything and I never received any support.
"From the first phone call in Clearing I was immediately put at ease, and it was this call when I first thought 'yes, I can do this'. I was put into contact with the course leader on the Foundation Entry course at the time and she responded quickly, and after a few emails I was soon underway with applying and going through UCAS. Any time I required information or guidance throughout this process, the staff through Clearing and the academics were extremely helpful and so informative.
"I found the Foundation Entry so much less daunting than I ever imagined, and it really set me up for doing the full degree, especially in terms of study skills, but also learning of the university culture.
"The BA (Hons) Counselling and Psychotherapy course, whilst challenging, was so interesting and informative. All the lecturers were very experienced within their field, which made understanding theory and so forth much easier, as they could bring their own experiences and knowledge into it. Throughout both courses I was offered ample support, and even when going through issues with my health and going in for operations, they made sure I was kept up to date and was fully equipped to complete any work.
"UCLan is a fantastic university and compared to other universities it offers a more personal experience, where you truly feel valued and not just another number on a list. It is within a great location with plenty of amenities and things going on. My favourite thing about the University was the staff. Each member of staff I encountered was so friendly and helpful, and it really made my time at university so much easier.
"My advice to applicants is to believe in yourself. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Do plenty of research before committing to a course, and don't be afraid to ask the University any questions, especially through Clearing as they are so informative."

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This old adage may never have been more true, particularly for job seekers. Job search scams are on the rise, so job seekers must learn to be savvy consumers of the job market with a primary focus on protecting both their private information and their personal safety.
Use the following tips to guide you. And remember that staff members at CES can help you evaluate job opportunities, resources, and hiring practices.
Red Flag: An employer contacts you out-of-the-blue
Red Flag: You're asked to provide private information
Red Flag: You're asked to pay to use services

Red Flag: Your intuition tells you something is off
Tip: Think about your online presence
Tip: Protect your friends and references
Additional Resources
Red Flag - You are asked to pay to use services
Red Flag - You're asked to wire money
Whether posting positions under the name of real businesses or sending emails inviting students to apply for online work, inevitably money-wiring scammers request "applicants" to deposit a check into their accounts and wire money back (less a small fee for their payment).
The perpetrators of these scams can be very hard to distinguish at the outset, often taking over the identity of a legitimate business. Sometimes the only clue that the employer is a scam artist is at the time they make the request. And it's not just a matter of being duped—these scams can have long-term effects on your credit rating.
Here's what to do if you come across this scam:

Dear Parents:
The Advanced Placement Program is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Since 1955, the program has provided motivated high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the program not only gain college-level skills, but in many cases they also earn college credit while they are still in high school. Advanced Placement courses are taught by dedicated and enthusiastic high school teachers who follow course guidelines developed and published by the College Board.
The program's success is rooted in the collaborative efforts of motivated students, dedicated teachers, and committed schools. Floral Park Memorial High School has made the commitment to organize and support classes that are equivalent to first year college courses.
You are cordially invited to attend our Advanced Placement Information Night on:
Date: Thursday, January 10, 2010
Time: 7:00 P.M.
Location: Auditorium
At this event we will provide information about our Advanced Placement Program. During the course of the evening you will hear presentations by members of our administrative staff, faculty, and students. In addition, we will review the scheduling process for the upcoming school year.
Samine Charles-Pierre
Chairperson, PPS Department

240-ton transformer from China arrives at Mt Piper
Australia, New South Wales: A 140-metre prime mover carrying a 240-ton generator transformer bound for EnergyAustralia's Mt Piper power station made its way through the Mid-Western Region in New South Wales, Australia on Saturday.
The generator transformer began its journey 10 weeks ago in China and landed at the Port of Newcastle in December, reports Mudgee Guardian.
The load took a meticulously planned 500-kilometre journey to Lithgow via the Golden Highway and Castlereagh Highway, passing through Gulgong and Mudgee.
EnergyAustralia's Head of NSW Assets Luke Welfare said the transformer would serve as a backup in case one of the power station's four other transformers failed.
Built over two stages in 1992 and 1993, the Mount Piper Power Station comprises two 700 MW coal-fired steam turbine generators which have the capacity to meet the energy needs of approximately 1.18 million homes in New South Wales every year.

The 9M115 Metis is a SACLOS wire-guided, man-portable anti-tank missile system designed by the Soviet Union. Developed by Tula KBP, it is very similar in external appearance to the AT-4 Spigot due to its three main fins. The missile is significantly lighter because of the reduced fuel load, which reduces the maximum range to 1,000 meters. During the 1980s, an upgraded missile version was developed, the Metis-M 9M131. It was fired by the same launcher, but was much heavier and larger with an increase range and a larger warhead. The 9M115 Metis is also known by its NATO label AT-13 Saxhorn-2.
As a supplement toe the AT-4 Spigot, the 9M115 Metis missile was introduced into the Russian Army in 1979. This system is lighter than the AT-4 Spigot system due to the addition of a much less complicated tripod launcher and an overall lighter missile. In Russian service, this system is deployed with motor rifle companies (three launchers per company). This missile is operated by a two-man team: the gunner carriers the 9P151 launching post and one missile.
This anti-tank weapon system was designed for firing from the 9P151 launching post that has a simple tripod for support. Although it requires more skill on the part of the operator, it may also be fired from the shoulder. The missile that is launched from the tube to the tube by a booster, rather than the gas generator, uses the AT-4 Spigot system. The 9S816 guidance system is powered by a thermal battery pack that is attached to the launch tube shortly before launch. Its missile may also be fired from the enclosed space, such as a cab or a building, but it requires at least 6 full meters behind the cave.
9M131 Metis-M (AT-13 Saxhorn-2)
A variant of the 9M115, the 9M131 Metis-M is also a Russian anti-tank missile system. Its NATO reporting name is AT-13 Saxhorn-2. This system was designed to augment the combat power of company-level motorized units. The 9M131Metis-M system features significant improvements in range, accuracy, and lethality to the already positive qualities of a man-portable anti-tank guided missile.
Other notable features of this system include:
- Firing rate of 3-4 rounds per minute
- Can be shipped by any type of transport or air-dropped
- A 15-20 second change time from traveling position to firing
- Total system includes the 9M131 (9M131F) ATGM, 9P151 launcher, and 1PBN86-1 thermal sight

Tracking the Metal-Centered Triplet in Photoinduced Spin Crossover of Fe(phen)32+ with Tabletop Femtosecond M-edge XANES
Fe(II) coordination complexes are
promising alternatives to Ru(II) and Ir(III) chromophores for photoredox
chemistry and solar energy conversion, but rapid deactivation of the initial
metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state to low-lying (d,d) states limits
their performance. Relaxation to a 5T2g
state is postulated to occur via a metal-centered triplet state, but this
mechanism remains controversial. We use
femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) transient absorption spectroscopy to
measure the excited-state relaxation of Fe(phen)32+ and conclusively
identify a 3T intermediate that forms in 170 fs and decays to a
vibrationally hot 5T2g state in 40 fs. A coherent vibrational wavepacket with a period of 250 fs and damping time of 0.66 ps is observed on the 5T2g surface, and the spectrum of this oscillation serves as a fingerprint for the Fe-N symmetric stretch. The results show that the shape of the M2,3-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectrum is sensitive to the electronic structure of the metal center, and the high spin sensitivity, fast time resolution, and tabletop convenience of XUV transient absorption make it a powerful tool for studying the complex photophysics of transition metal complexes.

As you'll recall, when I came to Disney Town I said that it had an identical Battle Lv to another existing world, that being this one. Curiously, Ven actually arrives at this world before his friends, for the first time since the Castle of Dreams, though it's a close shave for reasons I'll explain when we come back here with Terra.
The plot of Olympus Coliseum takes place in a new area this time, in a "Town Near Thebes." There, Ven runs into Phil, who's clearly trying to avoid someone. Unfortunately for him, he's pinned down by Ven and then by young Hercules, voiced here by the original young Hercules, Josh Keaton. Starcraft fans will know Keaton as Valerian Mengsk, though he would also go on to star as Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern animated series. Hercules shouts that he's signed up, presumably for the latest tournament here at Olympus Coliseum. Just after saying that, Phil's pursuer catches up to him.
This young man is wearing a helmet, which I'll admit makes identifying him fairly difficult. For the sake of fun, let's play ignorant and address him by voice actor: Rick Gomez, known for What About Brian and later known for TV series Justified. It seems Gomez's character is here to be trained by Phil, who refuses to do so because… two words! "Student-teacher ratio!" Phil's protests are interrupted by the arrival of a troupe of Unversed, and everyone (sans Phil) throws their weight into the battle for the only triple battle in the game outside the fights with the main trio.
You'll meet some new friends here among the Unversed. New Axe Flappers join into the battle, which the first physically-aligned missile flyers since KH1's Wyverns! …Okay, I admit, you stack enough adjectives in front of something and it's not surprising that it's rare, but I'm used to the eighties, where birds shot feathers and eggs at you all day long, so give me a break! The Axe Flappers also have a good recovery technique should you knock them to the ground, which has been an oversight in most fliers in the series to date (save the Wyvern remodels in Days, but those were functionally midbosses and were naturally complex). Also new to this battle is the Buckler Bruiser, a sort of downgraded Defender. The Bruiser is invulnerable to physical attacks from the front (although magic not only works from the front, but seems to be especially effective), and the Bruiser is able to counter attacks from behind. Personally, I find the poor things tend to die when I use any sort of counterattack… which includes payback counterattacks that you can only use when you take damage, like Ven's Payback Raid. What I'm saying is that I tend to beat them automatically with Payback Raid than through any measure of skill.
Also present in this fight are Jellyshades, which are weakling, multicoloured cream puff Unversed. Jellyshades would be hard pressed to hurt you if not for their incredibly simple strategy: all Jellyshades in the battle attack at virtually at the same time, meaning that any failure to dodge or block their attack can result in a startling amount of damage!
After the battle, which also introduces this game's use of barrels (more on that in a moment), Phil looks pensive. It's hard to blame him. If you took a close look at Hercules' fighting during the battle, you could see that it was incredibly restrained and fumbling, not unlike Ping from KH2 but without the battle ending in a blink like your first run with Ping (I feel it still would have helped to see him trip up in a cutscene, however). Phil has a deal for both Hercules and Gomez: they'll both enter the Games, and he'll watch their performances and decide who he's going to keep training. Ven gets excited at the news of a tournament, but Phil informs him that Gomez took the last spot, meaning Ven will have to satisfy himself with helping Hercules train for the tournament, since he obviously needs it. On the way to the old, familiar coliseum, Ven may encounter his first Yellow Mustards, the thunder-aligned spice pot.
The two of them get to work in the Coliseum. This introduces a new minigame that I find just a little underwhelming. You have to break a number of jars with your attacks, trying to outpace Hercules at the same task. Large jars are worth extra, and are also harder to destroy… for you. Hercules can do them in one! It won't surprise you to learn that the game also features a number of barrels borrowed from Days, both the regular and explosive varieties. New to BBS is the fact that the normal barrels now fall on their sides after being launched, after which you can ride them like a ball of yarn (well, that was an interesting comparison). This doesn't work perfectly, as the barrels have a lot of trouble getting back onto the central Coliseum platform if they fall off, and you have to be careful leaving upturned barrels lying around, because if you don't "use them up" by riding them, Hercules will grab them and toss them of his own accord! It's all a surprisingly full-featured mini-game, but it's also so easy and ultimately brainless that it's hard for me to think very highly of it.
The rewards for Break the Urns (played twice, the second time at higher difficulty) are pretty darned high: an HP increase for the first game, a Deck Capacity up for the second, and a free copy of the Sonic Blade comand! This oversized prize pile is reflective of the prizes Terra and Aqua get during their visit to Olympus Coliseum for overcoming far greater challenges, plus Sonic Blade, which Terra and Aqua can only earn if they play Break the Urns manually after clearing Olympus Coliseum! Urm, good for you, Venny. I don't know what you did to deserve double the prizes your siblings get for doing more work, but apparently you did it!
This Deck Capacity upgrade, by the way, is the last one Ven will get in Critical Mode, since he started with a bonus two slots. The remaining Deck Capacity upgrades are for Beginner, Standard and Proud players only.
After the training, Hercules explains his backstory (unexplained up until this point in KH lore), and Phil and Gomez arrive to start the tournament. Phil explains that the tournament is divided into two brackets, and that both Hercules and Gomez are in the West bracket. This is relevant because the East bracket has a "heavy-hittin' contender cleanin' up over there." The boss of the world, perhaps? Hercules and Gomez fight their way through the tournament via a number of time-lapse freeze frame battles against the Unversed, finally getting me an unmissable shot of Hercules tripping up, far too late for it to really matter.
Both boys make it to the West bracket finals and promise "no hard feelings" over their upcoming duel. They fight for a brief, animated sequence before Phil runs in shouting that the Unversed are attacking the town. Naturally Ven runs out, saying he'll deal with it while Hercules and Gomez fight their match.
When you arrive in historically illustrious Town Near Thebes, Ventus is surprised to find a colony of Jellyshades has moved in (including some truly awful-looking billboarded 2D ones in the background, made all the more visible by the HD release). Just then, Hercules arrives, saying this is far more important than the match against Gomez, and he and Ven fight together.
Naturally, this fight is a lot like the Rapid Thruster flocks in KH2, but with the added danger of the Jellyshades' propensity to attack in groups. Thankfully, their group attack has a range, but you can still easily be crushed to death by a single wave if you're surrounded and unprepared. Thunder attacks are incredibly valuable here. You can also turn to Hercules for additional help, as he launches you into a "rotate the controller" style throw Ven into the swarm… and like all rotate the controller segments, I hate every moment of it and once again worry the developers are doing the hardware damage. The fight's ultimately not very hard, which is why I'm disappointed to say that it's also this world's boss. Yup, you won't learn about the hard-hitting contender in the East Bracket until another storyline!
Your prize for clearing the jellies is the Air Slide technique from Days, a handy mobility upgrade, though not quite enough to get Ven to that upgrade in Disney Town. Unlike its Days incarnation, Air Slide can be used multiple times right out of the box, but should you use it twice in quick succession, the second dash will go somewhat further but will also trigger a short cooldown timer (longer than the amount of time you need to wait to repeat if you use restraint, that is). This will cost you a bit of vertical height before you can use another dash. Naturally if you don't use it twice in a row, you'll be losing that vertical height naturally, so it's sometimes better to take the bad with the good!
After the battle, Gomez arrives late to the party, protesting that he left only seconds after Hercules but just doesn't run very fast. There must be a helluva distance between Olympus Coliseum and Town Near Thebes for that to make any sense, but if the Coliseum is still on top of Mount Olympus, maybe it does? The boys debate who won the match (later storylines imply that Gomez won via technicality due to Hercules leaving first) but Phil points out that he never said he'd coach the winner, just that he'd watch their performances to help make up his mind on who he'd coach in general. He declares that being a hero is also about caring about people, and that Hercules cared the fastest.
Gomez is upset, but as an optimist to rival Sora, he's back on his feet in only seconds. In fact, he turns it around into an introduction, apologizing for not introducing himself earlier. He takes off his helmet, revealing the perhaps-familiar face of Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII, who I'm embarrassed to say, is the only Final Fantasy character in the entire game. I've already discussed the trouble with Laguna Loire, and Nomura also mentioned the possibility of seeing a younger Cid Highwind at Radiant Garden, but in the final product Zack and the Moogles are all you get! Zack is mostly here to cross-promote Square Enix's other big PSP game, Crisis Core –Final Fantasy VII–, released two years prior. So sure, not the timeliest cross-promotion in the history of advertising, but it certainly beats out KH's usual brand of cross-promotion, promoting games like FFVII in KH1 (a five-year gap), and films that, due to Disney's rotational release model during the days of physical media, might not have appeared on home video again for decades! This cross-promotion of Crisis Core goes so far as to have Zack's character profile say that his debut game was Crisis Core itself, instead of FFVII! Zack's theme from Crisis Core, "A Date with Fate," also plays during this sequence.
By the end of the world, Ven has a quick chat with Phil and seems to feel confident all of a sudden that he'll patch things up with Terra and Aqua. It's a little hilarious, then, that in Aqua's storyline, she's just a few worlds away from saying that everything is ruined and will never be the same again! I'm glad the three of you are having such disparate reactions to a single argument on Radiant Garden. Ven promises to come back when both of the others are "true heroes" ("Oh, so you mean never come back?") and the world wraps up.
Your prizes for this world are the good old fashioned duo of a Keyblade and a D-Link, namely the Mark of a Hero Keyblade and the Zack D-Link (no sign of a Hercules D-Link. It would be redundant, but that won't stop BBS in the future!). The Mark of a Hero is the usual all-strength affair we've come to expect from Olympus Coliseum, so no surprises here. The Zack D-Link, meanwhile, is a serviceable affair that evolves into an almighty finisher once you've collected both upgrades.
