CCOHS: Canadian Center On How-to Survive?

Trust the Canadian government to have a web page devoted to how not to freeze to death.
My understanding is that's the "core" temperature, and that extremities drop below that all the time, but I have not researched this at all.
... because what we always need is another standard.
I'm not saying that hobbyist 3D printers are useless, but like any tool their use should be selected against the other available tools.
I am not skeptical about the future of these technologies, I am skeptical about their present.
One day, maybe 10 or 20 or 50 years from now, 3D printing and home fabrication will be playing major roles in our economy and technology development, at the industrial level that has already started for prototyping.
Right now, like script kiddies and regular expressions and the nosql crowd, there are people out there who have a hammer and every problem looks like a nail.
Is that a 3D printed gun in your pocket or are you just feeling suicidal and have a weak grasp on the economics of mass production?
Buy typical cable trays, and 3D print some sort of fancy colorful casings for them. You can use a variety of designs and colors for aesthetic appeal. Plus even if it doesn't look all that great it will still be "cutting edge" technology in use, which will likely appeal to your business folks. Plus you can throw a 3D printer in your budget...
Interesting idea, but given that it takes the average 3D printer hours to create something only a few inches across it's not terribly practical.
It would be more practical to hire a basket weaver... ooh... woven trays...
Put it all together and security is usually a bad joke.
Always act and behave as if there is no security for any device with a network connection, everything else is just some form of wishful thinking.
We don't go to Ravenholm anymore.
Daisy, Daisy...
As a foreigner, I'd never heard of Salinger or Catcher in the Rye. When I first made it to the US, my friend gave me the book: "You HAVE to read that". I was underwhelmed and to this day still do not understand what all the fuss is about. A story about a whiney teenager with too much money for his own good ? This describe America pretty well to me !!!
The secret to Catcher in the Rye is reading it when you are a whiny teenager full of your own angst and immaturity and bursting with ego.
The message is:
1) You are not the only one
2) Don't do this
So...no actual thinking going on there, just filling out forms, going through the motions / gestures. In short, no caring.
In my experience it wasn't about lack of caring, it was about HR being so clueless about technology that they didn't even know they were clueless about technology.
And so far they don't have a conviction, just an arrest.
I can't imagine how they hope to prove intent, even if the driver has a criminal record, when nothing was found other than the compartment itself.
Somebody explain to me again how private enterprise is just in every way better and more efficient than government?

Does Obama Want Edwards Gone?
If the MSM is pro-Obama, that means ...
As soon as possible, as far as we're concerned. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes. [E.A.]
And here's the NYT's own translation of the tape:
"Obama's remarks that — if he takes office — in 16 months he would withdraw the forces, we think that this period could increase or decrease a little, but that it could be suitable to end the presence of the forces in Iraq." [E.A.]
There's a not inconsequential difference between the two, no? The Times version specifically does not "endorse" the timetable of 16 months (no matter what some bloggers claim). It says 16 months isn't crazy. ... P.S.:Hot Air has a third translation, which is somewere in between, ... P.P.S.: Maliki does seem to endorse Obama's general approach over McCain's, though. ("Who wants to exit in a quicker way has a better assessment of the situation in Iraq.") ... [via Insta, Yglesias ] 12:41 A.M. link
Sunday, July 20, 2008
Why did star blogger Matt Yglesias really defect from The Atlantic to the Center for American Progress? It can't have been the money: The Atlantic is the last journalistic gravy train in town. Were the ideas at the Aspen Ideas Festival not up to snuff? ... P.S.: What's CAP getting in the deal? Gravitas! ... 11:49 P.M. link
Maybe we should pay more attention to the issues on which Obama hasn't noticeably shifted to the center. For example, 1) health care and 2) tax increases. In each case, the relevant question would seem to be: Is he sticking to his guns because a) that's what he really believes his presidency should be about, or b) the issue is so central to his coalition that changing his position would disrupt his election strategy? ... My guess: Issue 1# is both a and b. But some moderate moderation** on Issue #2, taxes, wouldn't really hurt Obama politically--he could still be for raising taxes on the rich without proposing hikes that add up to marginal rates in the over-50% range on the coasts. His failure to do that suggests that soaking the rich in myriad ways is what he really believes in.
It's a big insufficiently remarked-on vulnerability. You don't have to be against high taxes to be against high marginal tax rates, which threaten to produce a boom in unproductive tax shelters. The tax-raising alternatives are to broaden the tax base (i.e. the sorts of income that are taxed) and to broaden the range of taxpayers who face increases (instead of soaking only the very tip of the income pyramid, those making over $250,000 or $300,,000 a year). ...
**--Obama does seem to have watered down his tax position a bit, fudging what seemed to be an inclination to impose the Social Security payroll tax of 12.4% on high earners. Now aide Jason Furman says

A bit of of an update with this thing.
Has been serving as my wifes work car since it was finished, has been extrememly reliable, but a thirsty pig.
Has had 1" body lift, tyres touched the mudflaps on flex.
Went to Landcruiser park, twas good, cheap chinaman cv joint sheared off in the middle with very little abuse, so was a 3 wheel drive for the weekend, genuine reconditioned mitsubushi cv going in next week.
I have some good vids, but need good internets to upload.
These are the only still pics i took, so forgive the ghey flex shot pose.
minor damage to the plastic, i will admit the door and sill are crumpled metal underneath.
Also went in the local burnout comp, have 2 vids to upload, locker worked well, 31's were not the ideal tyre size to smoke, but it did a good skid.
Pic i found on boostlosing...

Forgot too, was on the way to the gold coast after cruiser park and cough splutter, run out of fuel with 1/4 still showing on the gauge.
Jumped under the back of the car and the tank capacity has shrunk somewhat, with an especially large dint where the sender is.
So that was a great walk for the missus and myself, luckily only about 3ks from a servo. so now she has to fill the tank up at 1/4 cos thats where the gauge stops moving.

No updates for awhile.
Lots of offroad has happened, car is covered in dints and scratches, and looks real abused.
Rear locker has stripped all the teeth off, so it doesnt work anymore, might be time for an air leaker.

Cool, cheers mate, will have to get a map out soon and see where i am being led to.
Pulled out the interior to remove the carpet, pretty rotten, it didnt even come out in one piece. Gave the floor a good scrub and hose out, ready for paint.
Bought some speakers from jb hifi on the weekend, they had a 30% off sale. So 4" for the dash, and 6 x 9 for the rear sides. didnt spend much, but sounds good.
Existing cd player now mounted properly, instead of with duct tape.

cool, sounds good. spoke to crew cheif, thinking atherton is a good distance from mackay (our first stop) at approx 8hrs. Thanks for the offer bodgy
No bike, too much other junk to carry im thinking.
Been busy. Floor painted in 2 pack with a brush and roller.
I eventually decided to mount the amp for the stereo on the back of the passenger seat.
Flat surfaces are hard to find in the swb, so its either the seat or the floor, the floor is likey to go under water.
Snorkel done too.
How it joins in the engine bay
Mounted uhf ariel as well.
Pulled rear diff centre as the oil was full of metal.
Factory rear air locker is stuffed, only 6 teeth left on one of the sides of the lockers meshing teeth.

Factory pajero airbox is in the engine bay.
Looks like it will get an arb air leaker as eaton make nothing for the pajero.
So I picked another diff up off ebay for $50.
I needed a complete diff as the factory locker axels are different to normal.
My crownwheel and pinion are worn out as well, due to all the metal floating in the oil.
I replaced all the interior screws with stainless, the rusty old ones were not easy to undo.
I made a plate to bolt to the factory towbar position, then welded the trailer hitch to it.
I dont have a towbar, so this is easy.
The missus new car that allowed me to have the pajero back.

Very very cool car. Seems to be a weapon. I am thinking of grabbing something for the dunes was thinking about one of these, but a little scared by people saying the are very unreliable. Hows the reliability power with the stock donk? The heat is high here. Pootrols and cruisers are stupidly over priced here.
Yep rash 14.2 @ 100mph time to fit a chute!
The stock engines have head issues, mostly corrosion but also bhg's mostly due to lack of maintenance / overheating.
I would buy one either with bhg's ready to fix, or with reciepts to say it has been done.
the 3.0 has no torque and relys mostly on revs to get anywhere, not ideal in a 4wd.
The 3.5 is much better, more power, more torque, and a heap better fuel economy.
They are not known to overheat at all under load or hot conditions so that should be no worries.
Todays efforts, me tired.
New diff pulled apart. Crownwheel has some wear, I will get it looked at by someone who knows more than me.
One new inner tie rod and idler arm fitted today.
Front shocks $260 delivered pair.

nice, you waiting for dog to unwrap it for you? haha
you fitting this tomorrow? when is compressor comming?
Still need to order the compressor so far, thinking i might get a decent one. Might do something about fitting it today lots of bearings to press on / off.
Was thinking about doing the rear wheel bearing while the axels are out too, looks like a mission though...

VT clubsport LS1 M6

thanks mate.
Yeh i have dreamt of more power, even got semi- serious at times with the research. The corolla would need to be finished first though.
So the list would be:
Air/air intercooler
mafless tune
18 psi pulley
hopefully one day...

putting carpets back in or running the painted floor? looks pretty good i reckon, i might do it to my 4wd
injectors, where do they run out?
Gearbox is good, no problems at all. I really should have a temp gauge on it though, if it dies that will be why. Beach driving seems hard on it in particular.

Running painted floor, apparently its pretty noisy though. Will see how it goes.

Villa celebrates expansion
Five years of various construction projects have transformed and enhanced the 178-year-old campus of St. Joseph's Villa into a modern, vibrant facility that serves as a safe and efficient community resource for families. Earlier this month, Villa officials gathered with clients, volunteers, students, Henrico County Manager Virgil Hazelett and Fairfield Supervisor Frank Thornton to celebrate the campus' transformation. There was a strong sense of excitement and accomplishment in the air during the June 6 event at the Villa, where the changes will ensure that it remains a vital resource for needy families – 82 percent of them from Henrico. The improvements have helped the Villa build new partnerships, increase capacity, improve efficiency and expand the scope of its services. "Before this project, we were serving 800 [people] – now we are serving about 2,000," said Board of Trustees member JoAnne K. Henry. The renovation is the first major construction of infrastructure and roadways on the 82 acre campus since 1931. A major investment is the new perimeter road that makes it safer for the 450 vehicles that access the campus each day, while removing them from the pedestrian walkways and safeguarding clients, staff, visitors and children. "My son has attended the Villa for four years and will be graduating this year. I think it's wonderful and it gives the children time to walk through the school without cars going by," said parent Jaralyn McIntosh. "It's the best idea they could've come up with." Other significant features include a new culinary arts center for dining and career training, a pedestrian avenue and walkways to connect buildings and campus resources, renovation of the gym and underground infrastructures including utilities and technology and restoration of the central garden and green spaces to promote outdoor learning and therapy. The transformation began five years ago when architects, board members, engineers and staff devised a master plan for the future of St. Joseph's Villa with safety and transportation as the main goals. The building committee, led by Villa Chairman John Gentry, held monthly meetings for 26 months to create budgets plans and implement work. The Villa launched its first ever capital campaign, "Believing is Seeing," with a goal of $10 million. Despite launching the campaign during one of the worst economic recessions in recent history, the Villa reached 99 percent of its goal. The money raised came from various donations from businesses, grants, staff, board members and friends. The transformation is one that not only has helped expand the reach and scope of services the Villa can offer but has also been an example for the students. "The number one reason to love the new campus is because of inspiration for transformation. Seeing what the campus has become inspires a sense of possibility in the individuals that they serve here," said Villa senior Ellen Trebour during the grand reopening. Said Villa CEO Kathleen Barrett: "They have been thrilled; we asked the students for their input and how they felt about everything. They were involved every step of the way, and everyone loves the finished project." Established in 1834 by the Daughters of Charity to serve as an orphanage and school, the Villa has now evolved as the oldest and largest continuously operating children's nonprofit organization in the metro region. It is a non-religious affiliated, non-profit organization that works to serve children and families by providing children with special needs the opportunity to succeed through innovative educational and day programs. Many of those served are dealing with autism, homelessness, or physical and mental disabilities that would classify the children as "at risk." The project was recently awarded the Greater Richmond Association Commercial Real Estate Award for the best site improvements in 2011. The project finished under budget and before the targeted completion date. |

SOURCE Vilant Systems Oy
ESPOO, Finland, September 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
ABB, Sandvik, Scania Parts Logistics and Autoliv among others have successfully piloted Vilant Tracker for tracking their critical shipments via the mobile network
Vilant Systems, the European leader of tracking solutions for logistics and manufacturing, has launched a new type of monitoring device and service management for international logistics flows. Unique advantages of the invention are its cost-efficiency and suitability for air transport monitoring. Vilant Tracker device is the only GSM based tracking device available, which has been granted a safety certificate for airfreight tracking compatibility by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
A unique and simple solution for tracking critical shipments and traveling assets, Vilant Tracker enables companies to build a global tracking network quickly and without the need for infrastructure investment. The Vilant Tracker devices accompany shipments all day, worldwide, informing the users about shipment position and status. The online Tracker Portal shows tracking history and current location of shipments enabling full tracking and tracing capability. Companies are using Vilant Tracker to provide actual route data on their customer deliveries, gain visibility to their expensive or express shipments, as well as, project deliveries - helping to better plan their resources.
"Our Target is to have 100% on-time delivery of our products to customers around the world. We have been looking for a solution that would enable us to create an independent real-time tracking system for quite some time," says Risto Lehtola, Development Coordinator at ABB Motors and Generators. "Only now, with Vilant Tracker we are able to fulfill this need. It is an innovative solution that is both fast to setup and very cost efficient. We are looking forward to introducing it as an ABB wide tracking solution."
In addition, companies can also benefit by using Vilant Tracker to analyze their logistics processes - verifying or learning about the actual route points of the logistics process and defining the bottlenecks and problems.
"The Trackers are very clever technology and incredibly useful for what I do. Not needing a fixed infrastructure is a real plus," says Richard Wishart of Delivery Management.
Global Coverage
Through a partnership with Swisscom, Vilant Tracker is the first available solution that utilizes the global mobile network for tracking shipments making it more cost efficient than GPS-based solutions. In addition, Vilant Trackers are locatable wherever the GSM network works, so also in buildings and inside of containers or vehicles.
"We were pleased to be selected as Vilant Tracker's global M2M partner," states Gerhard Schedler, Head of M2M Centre of Competence, Swisscom. "Our Location Based Service (LBS) offering, in combination with our over 600 international roaming partners Swisscom M2M is able to assure that Vilant can deliver superior service to their customers virtually anywhere in the world."
About Vilant Tracker Device
Vilant Tracker device is slightly larger than a credit card. It combines a GSM transmitter, accelerometer sensors and special software. The device logs on a periodic GSM network location, leaving a signal, also when inside a building. The simple technology allows for long-lasting battery life and cost efficiency. The device can be quickly taken into use and costs only few tens of euros. However, it can easily lead to savings reaching hundreds of thousands per day in production where supply disruptions can be addressed proactively. For example, with online monitoring, a factory production unit can immediately identify if any of the production material deliveries are delayed.
Vilant Air Tracker
Air Tracker is EASA certified, enabling it to be used also in air cargo. The patent pending flight-mode technology turns the device off when it is airborne. Its rechargeable battery lasts, on average, for up to 30 days giving location positioning 24 times per day. Location accuracy in urban areas is approximately 500 m (0.3 miles) and in rural areas approximately 2 km (1.2 miles).
Vilant Road Tracker
Road Tracker is optimized for road tracking needs, enabling it to be used in continuous tracking. Its rechargeable battery lasts for up to 20 days giving location positioning 24 times per day. Location accuracy in urban areas is approximately 500 m (0.3 miles) and in rural areas approximately 2 km (1.2 miles).

What say ye about the best brand/style? I am talking multitool, as in pliers, knife, drivers, etc., etc ...
Nothing else matters but how I raise my children ... and their opinion of me, as a father.
I' e had Leathermen, Gerber, victorinox and vicegrip. All have been good. The SOG with the gear drive force multiplier (pun intended) looks interesting. I sseem to keep collecting Leathermen though and one is almost 20 years old.

Brute force and ignorance, all in one bulky and unappealing package
I've tried Leathermen, Gerber, victorinox and vicegrip. They all suck. . .
Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
Just hang around the bilge, there are several here who fit that description.
My top of the line Gerber is horrible, thinking of going with Leatherman next Tempted by one of those leather pouches with a rigging knife, vice grip and spike, except I'd replace the knife with a ceramic one. Not sure how homeland security would like it.
I've had three multitools go missing from checked luggage.
Leatherman will fix a broken one for you no questions asked. I carry one on my motorcycle and one on my boat. Small and handy.
I take it that by multi tool, you mean like the swiss army knife type of thing?
Whereas It's handy to have a couple of small knives on one handle, I find that the little pliers and screwdrivers and things are pretty useless. Not because the quality is bad but the weight of the "handle" with all those other bits in it, puts it all out of balance and one inevitably drops it in the drink if it's a "fishing" model, or barks ones knuckles whatever you're trying to unscrew or break your nails trying to get the tool out.
OTOH the little ones with scissors and tweezers and a nail file are handy to keep in your handbag
I owned several early varieties. Lost, stolen, or given away. The one I kept was that SOG. It's a bulky thing, and I carry it in the leather belt pouch - whenever I'm camping or boating. It's a lot of utility in a smallish package. Impressive build quality. Rugged, yet precise.
Otherwise, I make do with a pocketknife... and the toolkit I carry in the truck. Or... I'm in the shop with a full complement of tools, and the multi-tool is a poor replacement.

I do well enough with a Leatherman Wave.
Okay, thanks, Bob Cleek!
Others do not need to worry about 'other' tools ... I have just about everything ... including those specialty tools that others wish they had ...
THIS is NOT a thread about tools I SHOULD have ... it is about a handy, pocket tool that can sometimes save a BIT of time when one does NOT have of one's tools ...
So RELAX!!!
Nothing else matters but how I raise my children ... and their opinion of me, as a father.
Leatherman Skeletool. I bought one a few months ago and it lives in my coat pocket with a LED torch on a lanyard. I've used it more in a few months than I've used my Leatherman Wave in 10 years.
Very light......I'm expecting to break it eventually.....but while it lasts, I'm very happy with it. Pliers, serrated knife, screwdriver, bottle opener. What more does a bloke need?
We don't know how lucky we are....
I have a Leatherman wrapped in oilskin in my boat(s) kit. Has been handy several times with steering wires on the kayak and a loose rudder bolt on the Mac. etc. Also for retrieving oysters from the rocks around the bay
I have what is jokingly referred to as a Taiwanese Army Knife.
There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.
Leatherman Wave, hands down. Possibly its bigger brother the Surge. I have both, love both.

There was supposed to be an earth shattering KABOOM!
Thanks, folks!

Leatherman Wave and a Minimag in one pouch on my belt, like American Express, don't leave home without it.

Sanity is optional, but by no means necessary
I have a Leatherman wave, love it but put it in my desk drawer when I came across an old stock leatherman sideclip. I allready carry a cellphone and a pager on my belt so it's kind of nice that the sideclip slips into your pocket, but not all the way down. Barely a day goes by that I don't use the thing. Even after years of abuse the needle nose pliers are better than my high end klein purpose ones. The philips driver is also up there with the best. I ground the small flat driver to fit a #2 robertson which is the most common screw in my world.
Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs. Subject to delusion without notice.
SOG Paratool. One of the first. These days, it's a minimalist, and my daily carry.
I received a Victoronix Swiss Tool as a gift; very good tool but too heavy to carry.
The Kershaw A100 (?) with the vice-grip pliers is a great but too heavy to carry tool.
SOG PowerLock (there are several) are good, large.
The SOG PowerDuo is very new and I haven't seen it in person, but it looks like what I really want.
Await dreams, loves, life; | There is always tomorrow. | Until there is not.
Grieving love unsaid. | Tomorrow will fail someday. | Tell them today, OK?
This post is temporary and my disappear at the discretion of the managment
I carry an old SOG Paratool also. It is a pretty well made tool, but I have to tighten up the bolts holding it together every now and then.
Here's the SOG PowerLock I carry in the belt pouch. I've used it hard, and beyond what it was designed for. I've used it as a hammer and a pry-bar. It's held up beautifully. It is a lump of metal, though. Wouldn't try and carry it in my pocket - or even on my belt for everyday.

Uh .. okay, David!
Nothing else matters but how I raise my children ... and their opinion of me, as a father.
ME TOO. Tall, with white hair and a beard,...OOPS Wrong thread.
Someone always gets me one, or their generic equivalents for B-day or other gifting holidays. I have a collection now. You would think that being that I am known for having a mechanical, fishing and general handiwork background for the last 35 years, that they might figure this isn't something that exists that I am unaware of. I know it's the thought that counts and I do appreciate that, but seriously.
Then again, I find vise-grip pliers themselves just about useless compared to my 6" rigid pipe wrench for getting busted screws/bolts out. Except for their locking (r11's/r6's) framing clamps, which I would gladly accept a new set to add to my collection at any given time.
Well if you blokes would be happy with a bunch of flowers and a box of choccies there wouldn't be a problem would there and a few less black balloons
I hate buying presents for blokes, all you really want is a... no I wont go there

Health policy faded into the background this weekend as political gossip led the news cycle, but there's still some items of interest.
The American Spectator's Philip Klein looks at reports that a proposed Medicare payroll tax that would help fund a health overhaul may be increased again. Klein notes:
This would actually follow the historical pattern of payroll taxes. The Social Security tax has been raised 20 times since first being implemented in 1935, from 1 percent to 6.2 percent, while the Medicare tax has gone up seven times since 1966, from 0.35 percent to 1.45 percent. Taking into account that employers must match the payroll tax contributions of their employees, the combined tax went from 2 percent when introduced in 1935, to 15.3 percent today.
National Journal's Marilyn Werber-Serafini asks her 'experts' what they think of the 'Cadillac' tax — and so far respondents Paul Fronstin John Goodman, Sally Pipes, and Jason Rosenbaum have weighed in.
Wonk Room's Igor Volsky examines the differences between proposals for a national and state-based health insurance exchanges.
Health Beat's Maggie Mahar examines the case of a Buffalo hospitals system, Kaleida, which has been advertising its services across the border in Canada.
Jaan Sidorov of the Disease Management Care Blog disagrees with a New England Journal of Medicine piece from Harvard researchers who argue "current protections are inadequate to ensure fairness" in these workplace wellness programs.
And Reason Magazine has a new tongue-in-cheek video about transparency in health legislation, calling the process "Real World: DC" (via Cato):

this review is the exactly the proof of what i heard in an podcast. americans like shooters... that's why he didn't liked the game so much.
I didn't played a survival horror in a long time, and i loved it!
yes, the story is made for the survival mode, the cricket bat it's kinda repetetive, but imagine what would be if you lvl up the bat and you just started to 1-hit K.O. zombies, totally boring!
it may not be the perfect game, but enjoiable, i would give it a 7-7.5 maybe an 8 if you have someone to play multiplayer
Wow. The posts are really crazy on this on. Yes, we get it. You love the Wii U. But this game is horrible Just be glad it was released, considering how many are not on this system.
I would love this game if not for two issues that are game killing to me. One is when you die you dont get to keep your gear and you have to track it down. And i tend to die a lot because of all the hits it takes to kill one zombie. if theres a couple of them it gets overwhelming...to me. maybe not to you. Two is that there are save rooms scattered about but wherever you save doesnt matter. if you die you return to the safe house. and have to track down your gear. whats the point of the save points. i dont know. lol. oh well. atmospheres great. graphics are great. not much of a story. but oh well. those two issues did it in for me after about two hours of gameplay.
(just joined), maybe the reviewer hates Nintendo, maybe not.
But it is a crappy game. I own all the consoles from 1985 and forward, And play most genres (except most racing/sport games). And most of the stuff the reviewer is talking about is not something he doesn't like because he hates it or Nintendo. Most of the stuff are actually things that make the game crap. And sure it may annoy people more or less, but if you cant see the bad points of this game then it is more like you just like the game because of some of the hypes. Its Nintendo! Its a Zombie game! Its a Horror game! Its new!
But it is from an objective standpoint a crappy game. I liked it the first 20-30min. But it soon died into a "must play it so i can finish it" type of game.
I didn't get annoyed with the controls, and i actually thought the display part was a bit interesting (it was a good use and for it, and a must use for one of the first games to be released on wiiu).
But there was so many bad points to the game.
#The top of the head ALWAYS pops of on the first hit, no matter where you hit or what you hit with. And when it dies its head ALWAYS explodes, no matter where you hit or what you hit with. (applies mainly to the basic zombies population most of the game world)
#The "You will die many times" part, i like in a survival type of game. BUT the only time you die or was in danger of dying. Was during the event based hordes. Which only came at specific points in the game. And always in places where you have no choice then to fight them (unless the event was to escape the horde). Normally you could easily take 2 zombies maybe 3. a horde usually contain more then that running towards you. Or when you did a mistake and didn't have a weapons or ammo to correct it.
#The "scare" moments. Like in the first game trailers. Where you crawl in the vents and a royal guard zombie suddenly drags you out. Happens only then, only once and only the first time you are there.
#If you die once then you have to find your zombie survivor. Kill it. and loot it. That was fine. But if you are unlucky and die on your way to the zombie survivor. Then that zombie survivor will despawn and your loot will be "randomly" placed on specific places on the different maps you unlock. Which change every time you die. So the "kill the Zombie survivor to get your loot", turns into the annoying as hell, "run around all the old maps to find your loot again"
#The "you start as a new survivor each time", was a fun idea. But with every NPC treating you as if you have been there before or done stuff for them.
#And to top things of you get a nice sniper rifle and using the scope with the pad is fun. BUT there is very few places where that is actually any use.
And these are just some points that actually are in the game. Not just something i make up so people will hate wiiu/zombiu.
I actually liked one or two of the Nintendo Land games. But in whole, Nintendo land was a bit to much aimed for children and demo-isch. To be fun more then one start up. unless your drunk ;P
Of course there are sure to be some good points in the game as well. But after playing it im to much on the "i don't like you Zombiu" side, to see them correctly.
but really. In short.
I good idea, could have become a fun game if they waited a year to polish it before release.
Just a crappy game.
this game is awesome, how come it got 4.5
im sure so many people hates on Nintendo.. and wii u bcuz its Always find the ideas and the other companies copying them.
Nintendo i effing adore u
Wow. Gamespot can be so biased. I come to this review hearing how everyone thinks this game is great, how it was much better than everyone thought, and even though I usually play just play Nintendo's more popular games (Mario, Zelda, etc.) I thought I would try this game. Then I see the review score thinking it sucks. Then I see the metacritic score, other reviews, and the comments and know that this reviewer has to be either missing something or hating on the Wii U.
Very nice game with great graphics, as for the gameplay?
Wish the PS3 and XBOX had this kind of gamepad
Yea just like i said the Wii U was gonna be a failure from the start.A over priced system with horrible graphics.Games that are just right down awful.Top it off with a Etch A Sketch size controller that will be way over priced at $149 when you can buy it in 2 years.It's been nice to see the Xbox 360 outselling it since it launched when all the worldwide total come in every week.Plus every store has them that you go to.Yea just wait for the next Xbox and Playstation.Nintendo needs to pull a sega and just be a publisher.
why do all of the reviewers at GS sound like their on valium? I played this game its not that bad judge for yourself if youre intereste....
I have a huge problem with this review. He complains about zombies keeping up with you at walking speed,the lack of weapons (what about left 4 dead), and the use of a cricket bat as a primary method of killing (again, L4D), and being reckless can get you killed. Those are not at all things to complain about. I guarantee you this guy loves DayZ, but is willing to complain about this, while DayZ does a lot of the same things.
i like this game...i like the interface with the game pad and the graphics are great
Wow I couldn't even get through the whole video review to say no to this game big time! Oh well nice try I guess?!
I enter Gamespot After 1 year roughly and what I see? Not only the situation hasn't changed ( like the horrible bashing article on the 3ds last year) but it got worse! What is this garbage?! Zombie u is an outstanding piece of software, an incredible survival horror, the same horror I was missing since re3! Gamespot is and will always be Anti Nintendo. Period.
BTW, using only the cricket bat is not necessary, when you lose a weapon it respawns in one ot the locations around London; one can check the computer inside the safe house to know where it is (along with ammo, items,etc).
AWESOME game, period.
im thinking of getting a wii u for christmas and i really do like the looks of this game an want an honest opinion of who ever has this game if it is a good started game to play with
I honestly thought this was pretty ridiculous when I first saw it and I thought it couldn't possibly be right, but after playing the game, (and I know a lot of people disagree with me), I find the game to be quite boring and agree with mostly everything he said, though I would've put more emphasis on the lack of enemy variety and the copious amounts of unnecessary backtracking.
I own the game and it is fantastic! I usually agree with GS, but I don't really know what went wrong this time.
For me watching this review feels like they are talking about a completely different game.
IMO: The game feels great and looks very good, blood is there, gore is there, there's tension, the gamepad works genius, there are various weapons to choose from (pistols, carabin, gun turrets, grenades, etc), the combat is alright....
If you like the true horror-survival games, make sure to give this one a try. This is coming from a serious gamer that loves RE (1 through 5), DarkSouls, Deadspace, etc.
Seriously awesome game!
@tnkangelicus so.. It's a crappy game because you and the reviewer didn't like it, huh? I guess the 270+ other users and 70 other critics givint it a combined average of 7.5+ are all stupid and you're right.... I think it's just you that are a crappy player/reviewer
Forgot to add that 4.5 is a tad low. If i would look at the game objectivly i would probl give it a 6 or 7. Depending of you should count that it is a new game for a new console.
for me personally. Not worth the money or the time spent playing it.
@albetron99g16 Just got wii u and been playing this. First no graphics are not psp style. They are way better. Second I find the game really fun. Easy 8.0 for me.
@smackdowner360 suuuuure... I remember other idiots like you saying the wii was gonna fail too....
@smackdowner360 Xbox and Sony Would Be Nothing without Copying Nintendo ideas?
ninteno been in business around 30 years
Overpriced? The next gen consoles to Playstation and Xbox are going to be $100-$200 more than expensive than this. The gamepad is great and Nintendo always sells. And saying it has "horrible graphics" just shows how much of bigot you are.
@translucent17 +1... The only reason I even come to gamespot is to have a quick easy way on the game's page to see the metacritic score pus user scores :)
yea I noticed that .... it's like complaining about shifting in a driving game....
@McGuirex3 Its actually a great game, been playing for about 5 hours and really sucked into the atmosphere, please don't judge this game by this shocking review, makes me wonder how many other great games I have missed out on due to shitty reviews.
@jesuspantoja00 The game is awesome, but's a bit difficult too. If you have patience and/or love the zombies genre you'll love it, but if you don't, then perhaps you should start with an easier game to get accostumed to the controls, etc.
@GH05T-666 No, which is why so many people think that this review is laughably off base. Sure, many people have enjoyed "bad" games before, but this isn't a case of that. Gamespot simply didn't even come close on this one. At it's very worst it's a 6.5; and that's being extra harsh on it.
@tnkangelicus forgot to add: if you think a 7 is a score for a "crappy" game, than it's REALLY clear you have no clue how to rate games...
@pyosisified @McGuirex3 Not to be rude or anything, but a review is a persons opinion, just because your's is different does not make this a shitty review, it's an opinion. I've never understood how people justify the quality of a game based on the number it gets on-line.
@babuchas666 thank you babuchas apreciate the reply.I know this game does look great for the fact i love games like this especially since it reminds me of war z and day z in a way..
@walterg74 Sorry if what i think about the game doesn't count. And what i stated are actually exist in the game. And also for me the game would prob get 3-4 not worth the time or money i spent for it. If i would look at the game more objectivly (= not what i think about it), then prob 6-7 would prob be more correct score
@clookoo213 @pyosisified @McGuirex3 If these reviews were personal and not intended for any sort of critique, they wouldn't post them online.
The point of these reviews is to persuade (or in this case, dissuade) potential games to play the game. In such a case it is important that a reviewer be unbiased in his/her thoughts about the game. Pyosisified's remark is perfectly reasonable, and it seems many others share his view.
@clookoo213 @McGuirex3 4.5/10 while generic garbage shooters get 9/10's? This review seemed to try ridicule the game, this is honestly one of the first ever REAL survival horror games
@babuchas666 @jesuspantoja00
Except that its not really anything like DayZ or WarZ. Well except that there are zombies and weapons.
"and each day I discover new stuff". like what?
Feels like you get a feel for the game after 10min, you know most things about the gameplay after 30min. After 60min then the only thing that surprises you, are a few scripted events that you where not really expecting. And after 2h the only thing "new" is when you get far enough to get an update in the story.
@jesuspantoja00 I'd buy a Wii U, but that's me! :P I haven't finished the game yet, but's not over after 8 hours like many this gen, especially if you like exploring and uncovering all the little things here and there.
Also, I plan to replay it and see if I can finish it with 1 - 2 survivors.
@babuchas666 how long is the game though bro?im still disputing though ipad mini or wiiu idk what to get maybe you can help me?i dnt want to regret it in d end..and merry zombie xmas to ya too !
@jesuspantoja00 Then it's a MUST BUY for you man. I'm loving the game, and each day I discover new stuff.... happy zombie Xmas!

Henry Rollins Reviews The SE846 Earphones
Read MoreLate one Saturday evening, I received an email from my friend Henry Rollins. Apparently he found his way to the Shure webpage and noticed the latest addition to our earphone line, the SE846.
