Forty years ago I -- -- problems.
I pledge to take the fight to our enemies.
And renew our leadership in the world.
As president that's why don't consider pulling back from the world we've strengthened our alliances while improving our security here at home.
As Americans we refuse to live in fear.
America remains the one indispensable nation.
And the world needs a strong America and in this forward now than what I came and office.
So we've heard the president asserting during the campaign last fall that America is stronger than it has ever been before.
Of a new Fox News poll shows that nearly half of the voters to answer this question think that the country is weaker now.
That it's less powerful now than it was five years ago.
48% of Americans say that the country is weaker today that is twice as many as the 24% think it's stronger today more -- -- Than it was five years ago 27%.
Think that it is about the same so why is that why is that perception.
Out there and is it is it reality.
I'm Alan Colmes a host of the Hong Kong show.
Bret -- -- foreign affairs columnist with the Wall Street Journal at least adapt -- -- journalist specializing in middle east affairs and counterterrorism welcome to all of you.
Out wouldn't make of those numbers.
-- now.
Thank you know why I go out if I I think that it depends what you mean by weak he gets it you know he gets majority think he's any good job and terrorism.
He's got 49% approval rating according to numerous polls just got reelected.
By a majority a large portion people voted -- -- the very well the election.
So what are we as -- week mean we can't go to as many wars is we use to.
Is me I mean we mean we don't have forces have all over the world but does it mean that people really don't think the president that it could not according to his poll numbers which seem to be doing pretty well.
-- let me quantify it for you -- when -- Obama took office in 2009.
Iran had a thousand kilos of low enriched uranium.
The last at the last count last November Iran has 7600.
Kilos you think people is full of -- low enriched uranium.
We supposedly have this country in a lockbox of sanctions and yet what does the Ayatollah how many say to negotiations he says we're not even gonna -- to negotiate with -- -- We just learned that the president personally put that could -- On any effort to arm the Syria do the Syrian opposition were 60000 -- type so there -- a perception from Afghanistan to Iraq to Syria tamale.
That the US is not a game I like US -- They said yeah.
He says something that's -- to -- he -- that what people are voting not know people are are basing that poll in their votes on.
Terrorism meaning Osama bin Laden and a father laden is dead meeting terrorism is that.
-- really happened in the -- is going -- -- that he actually until you are what happened I'd like they'll win it by it and respond to all this he's killed more al-Qaeda leaders than previous presidents.
There is a perception is done very well on terrorism he's got a majority people's lives on a good job on terrorism so he's -- got -- 49% approval rating in multiple polls which is a plurality so.
You want to keep putting him down it is not doing a good job the American people don't see.
Well I don't know let me just put everything in here because in the last election -- -- for the first time -- point we saw that a lot of the polls said that basically people felt that that.
Democrats where the stronger party firm -- And stronger party in keeping you know America safe and terrorism we have never seen that before Republicans have always -- on those measures so.
We know whether or not it's the reality on the ground and you can point -- each country it does seem to be a perception out there that that this party.
Is doing something to keep America safe -- -- this perceptions change and of perceptions clearly changed when suddenly we discovered that in Libya.
And he jumped.
We were not as beloved as President Obama would've had us would've had us believe because he gave a beautiful speech.
In Cairo in fact our popularity ratings in many of these countries are going -- either -- -- lower than they were.
Under the last 05 years of George W.
Bush used the word Dorsey was -- -- yeah -- five years old that they won't want to look this is another perfect example we support we supportable was supposed to be freedom agenda in each up to what we have we have a Muslim Brotherhood taking over -- -- -- could be an office that's a better if you prefer.
You know I've got a favorite to be a better as opposed to the current dictator in office who is who is who is just had a love fest -- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad you know.
-- it catches -- yeah one of the biggest most interest.
He -- I think because we look at the Arab Spring which we heard you know across the board you know from commentators on television.
Two with president about -- this was at a at an inspirational.
Moment that was happening across.
That this whole area of the Arab Spring.
We now see what's happened in Egypt we see -- 0800000 refugees pushing out of Syria and not a lot of action on the world stage in terms of helping.
-- it's -- -- to push anything forward in Syria but my question is are we and is hopeful question are -- -- a transition -- is an Arab Spring are are the people you know they are these governments that we're seeing are they sustainable or ill will Mohamed Morsi.
Last a very short time -- pushed out by these freedom seekers who work some of them behind this Arab Spring.
As we saw by the his power grab not too long ago they're here to stay and those forces were hovering over week.
We need a mistake by so -- running out there -- telling Mubarak to step down when these forces were hovering over overhead and and it it was a political vacuum of course.
-- -- country by country you look at what's going on in in Syria why would not getting involved -- -- good the French aren't leading us there at where they would let us in Libya what happened in Libya.
You -- Qaddafi got what happened the stockpile of weapons that he had are spread all over.
Northern and western Africa we saw what happened in Motley -- we're watching what happened in the -- actually.
-- didn't get Qaddafi.
And Reagan didn't do all the things that he gets ready -- you wanted to save Reagan apparently did no wrong here's a president has done things that previous Republican presidents could not do and you still blaming him for every -- in the world is that.
Brooke Barack Obama somehow responsible for what's going on Syria although we're supposedly working with the opposition forces there -- responsible what happened in Egypt even though he didn't cause.
Feeling you know -- know that these governments have nothing to nothing to really see year and its president -- year.
From America that there's nothing.
That is coming -- and that that that it's feminine line that makes them go and what they're not really exactly that why should they live in fear of the United States are you suggesting how we should be threatening I'm suggesting that -- -- -- might wanna have it you know -- sense that if they step over the line.
-- -- -- -- -- -- It is not one for Italy and let me just answer that there's not one person who has not said all options are on the table with -- -- Obama's senate Panetta said -- we've had -- and his -- -- it.
We that they had no I have -- -- well we can't utility thing they did but we've been very clear that all options are on the table there are some people like yourself for whom nothing Obama will do will ever be -- Minnesota.
They can handle it.
-- that -- -- get -- that was an accusation that's not true we applauded President Obama when he finally took the step to get rid of Moammar Gadhafi we've applauded the drone strikes in Yemen.
In the in in Pakistan we've done so very publicly give more credit by the way the people like you were willing to give.
Bush would take a look at it went back into critical of Obama -- that very could take a take and take a look at I had to read to you by the administration has been telling us.
All -- you Iranians -- under unprecedented.
Sanctions they're under unprecedented pressure and every time we find all this time they're finally gonna Roland because they have no other choice we've put them in a box.
The Ayatollah Khamenei keeps saying I'm not interest of the negotiations human I'd let me go to work that is at the Atlantic and into the.
Well yeah.
Aren't they isn't really know what's outrageous is letting the rain but it is -- here's the bottom line actions speak much louder than let sanctions work that we have sanctions against the -- how a lot of those being -- never report that -- in 2012.
Exports from the US into Iran were up by 30% they're getting around the sanction on people on main street in Iran -- the economy that you want to warn you why I went to England diplomatic and you wonder why -- -- Credibility who doesn't who doesn't have a -- will -- -- secretary of defense.
Was no credibility when American when elaborate when it got us president has become the only reason why is that we're -- what people think he's got a lot terror and tell me how much I don't like -- world when the Ayatollah how many has a nuclear weapons here nuclear multi.
Leave it there that's the hot topic thank you very much all of you for bring in so much to the table.
-- Bret thank you so much Lisa.

Most interesting part in the Killer Guides D3 Demon Hunter guide was their section on the BUILDS! Knowing your builds is like knowing your religion. You know exactly how your going to play up your Demon Hunter just like how I knew to up my chr.
Chakram, this was interesting. I did make use of it in a couple of places. It was a little silly though. Here you go. So I'm a ninja that shoots that. I
don't know, it might be something you think is really cool. I think it
looks kind of dumb and I think it's pretty hard to land. They are going to
be some pro players who manage to do it amazingly.
But I don't know, it's not going to be me, probably because I'm not going to be playing this too much. But there you go, that's Chakram. Decent amount of damage. Ton of hatred. Not as much as Grenades, but ton of hatred. There it is.
Impale, so these are the abilities I haven't gotten to use yet, everything grayed out obviously. And some of them, as soon as you get past level 13, I
believe that's where the cutoff is, everything past level 13 is just not
available in the beta at all.
So here we go. Impale, cost 20 hatred. Fire a massive shot to impale a target for a 220% weapon damage. Now I'm not sure if there's anything different about the word impale, like maybe there's some CC attached to it. It doesn't say it so I'm going to assume there's not. But 20 hatred shot, 220% weapon damage. That's pretty substantial.
Spike Trap, lay a trap that arms after 0.8 seconds and triggers when an enemy approaches. The trap does 16 to 20 physical damage to all enemies within eight yards. You can have a maximum of three Spike Traps active at one time. My thoughts on it based on the game that I've seen so far: traps don't have a purpose and neither do Caltrops, which I'll get into. They don't have a purpose yet, because nothing is getting close to me in such a way that I actually want to use it. I might be able to make some use of it on Skeleton King, I don't know. But anyway, I'm sure that later on down the game, these kinds of things are going to be very helpful, especially on more complex boss fights.
Elemental Arrow, 25 hatred. Shoot an Elemental Arrow or charged arrow that deals 100% weapon damage as fire damage to all targets it passes through. So take it for what it is. It's passing through targets. It says that in the description, but I'm not sure the mechanics of it, whether it will pierce through all targets. But that could be pretty powerful, I don't know.
Multi-Shot, fire a massive volley of arrows, dealing 110% weapon damage to
all enemies in the area. So Mult-Shot is two little concepts, I'm not sure
which one it's going to be, volley versus multi-Shot, multi-Shot being the
ability where you shoot several areas in front of you, versus a volley
which is ….
So here's what I'm getting at. I'm not even going to try to
belabor this terrible, distorted, contorted description I'm saying. Is it
going to be a cone in front of you, or is it going to be an area effect?
Is it going to be an area effect like I think hunters in World of Warcraft
had an AOE. They would target a location and arrows would rain down,
whatever. Or is it going to be a cone in front of you, where it's going to
hit targets in front of you? I'm not sure from that description. We'll see.
Cluster Arrow, 35 hatred. Fire a cluster grenade that explodes for
120% weapon damage into a series of additional mini-bombs that explode for
40% weapon damage each. Could be cool. Could be really cool in AOE packs,
large groups of mobs. I don't know, but the description makes it sound
like there's some interesting mechanics there. I mean, mini-bombs, cool.
Rapid Fire, 20 hatred per second. Rapidly fire at six times you normal
attack speed, dealing 30% weapon damage with every shot. 20 hatred per
second, that's what I'm missing there. So for 20 hatred per second, you
can rapidly fire at six times your normal attack speed. The math just
quickly in my head, that seems like it would be good. Somebody's going to
get real deep into those numbers and it's probably not going to be me.
Straif, 20 hatred per second. Shoot three times per second at random,
nearby enemies while moving at 55% of normal movement speed. Every shot
deals 60% of weapon damage. It sounds like you move slower and you are
randomly shooting but you are actually hitting enemies as you move. Every
shot deal 60% of weapon damage so not that much, but you could probably
clear through a large area with stuff that's not too difficult. I don't
know. This could be amazing. I just can't tell you. It seems like you
would be moving slowly but like an AC130 blowing everything up as you go.
Let's see. Finally, Rain of Arrows, one minute cool down. Fire a massive
volley of arrows around you. Arrows fall from the sky for five seconds,
dealing an average of 105% weapon damage per second. From the sky, so
maybe the other one is a volley. Multi-Shot is just a straight shot in
front of you, maybe a cone or something. Arrows fall from the sky. I
hated that animation, but it could be pretty cool, as far as the damage
It's like these ceilings don't mean anything in here. When my
diablo 3 barbarian leveling was jumping through the ceiling to get somewhere? It could be
pretty good damage. There's nothing interesting about that. One minute
cool down. That's it.
Caltrops, let's get back into here. So the first section I did was the offensive section. The second section here is going to be the discipline section. This is going to be stuff that actually uses our discipline bar. So let's start with Caltrops. These are little traps that I can lay all around. Lay a trap from Caltrops on the ground that activates when an enemy approaches. Once sprung, the Caltrops slow the movement of enemies within 12 yards by 50%.
This trap lasts 12 seconds. It lasts quite a while. If you're going to use it, you should be able to lay it and it will still effect whatever you need it to effect. That's why I was questioning how valuable is the 100% additional time on passive. Situational. It may be very, very valuable. I don't know. On Caltrop, this doesn't do any damage. So I had no use for it in the play through. That's just how it is. There wasn't really much need for defensive play in the play-through.
So there you go. It doesn't do much damage. It does work as advertised. It does slow enemies approaching you, so it would be effective in that regard when you need to use it.
Let's go ahead and look at Vault. I already showed you this. This is amazing. I can't do it a third time here because I just used too much. Anyway, it doesn't work too well on stairs, if you see. Well, it didn't work so bad on stairs. But my experience hasn't been so good on stairs.
Anyway, it's very, very good for quick repositioning on say, fights like the Skeleton King, where it has a charge animation. If you time it right, you can always charge away when he is landing in. It's pretty straightforward. It's not as good, in my opinion, as the Furious Leap, or whatever the barbarian skill is named. It's not as good as that leap, because the cool down is shorter, you can chain it together. It's just different. It's not that it's better or worse, it's just different. But you can't go over the barrier and
obstacles that say the barbarian can. Even in places where it looks like
you should be able to, you can't.
So the diablo 3 barbarian guide has an edge on where he can get to, the versatility of it, whereas 3 demon hunter here has an edge on getting wherever you want to go really fast. So that is what it is.
Let's go and look at the next abilities here. Marked for Death, I made some use of this, just applied it to my two-button and quickly any mob that I see, I can press two on, very quickly, it will … wow. Well here, perfect. I didn't even realize that was there. So I've just put that on. There it is. And let's go ahead and use our grenades. Anyway, Marked for Death, I can apply it. It will cause me to mark and enemy. The marked enemy will take 20% additional damage for the next 30 seconds.
Smoke Screen, 15 discipline. Vanish behind a wall of smoke, becoming momentarily invisible for two seconds. I do not know how this works. Can I actually move while this is active? I assume yes, but I don't know. It costs 15 discipline, so I can only use that twice quickly before I'm totally out of discipline.
Companion, costs 10 discipline. Summon a raven companion.
Your raven companion will periodically peck at enemies for seven to nine
damage. I don't know how long it lasts, whether it's a permanent
companion, or whether it will go away after a short time. It doesn't say
anything about that, so I'm hoping it's going to be permanent. The ten
discipline cost isn't very much. Finally, demon hunter has a summon skills like diablo 3 witch doctor guide.
Shadow Power, 20 discipline. Draw in the power of the shadows, increasing attack speed by 50% for ten seconds. That's a high discipline cost, but again the discipline stuff is actually pretty defensive. So if you're not too worried about the defensive parts and you can get the Marked for Death up, Shadow Power is probably going to be a good thing to use, especially in pretty serious fights where you've got a group, and your group is taking care of the incoming damage.
I don't see too much that's going to be too much more important but let's see.
Invis, Vault, Caltrops, Marked for Death, so you want Marked for Death up
obviously. Companion, you probably, hopefully will be able to summon that
beforehand. So Shadow Power looks like a great offensive skills, ten
seconds of hugely increased attack speed.
Century, ten discipline. Drop a turret on the ground, because this is normal. Our demon huntress is actually an engineer. Drop a turret on the ground. The turret begins firing at nearby enemies for 40% of weapon damage. Lasts ten seconds.
Let's go ahead and throw this out here. Let's say Shadow Power 50%, earn 20 discipline. Century, 10 discipline, so I could use both of those. 6
discipline on Marked for Death. Just some quick math here. So you could
actually use all three of these, but if you have the 20% reduced discipline
cost, you could use Marked for Death, and then immediately use Shadow
Power, or use Century and immediately use Shadow Power. And you could use
all of them without any regen occurring at all. Just a guess. I don't
know if this will be useful to anybody or not.
Finally, Utility, cool down 120 seconds. Instantly restore all discipline. That's pretty useful. But it is what it is. You've seen the abilities that use discipline. They are pretty cool, particularly something like Vault, Shadow Power, Century, Century is probably pretty cool, Marked for Death. Well, Marked for Death is 30 seconds. You would never use preparation to use Marked for Death. I'm just going to say that here, hopefully.
Anyway between these, you do get some pretty cool abilities. Diablo 3 class leveling going to help out. Pretty straightforward. So now we've covered everything as far as active skills. If you haven't paid attention to this during play throughs, the thing to know about them is that you only have a certain number of slots available. You can't do something like apply a buff to yourself and then switch out the buff spell.
In Marked for Death, let's see if I can find any enemy very quickly here. Let's see if I can get this mark out. Now instead of having Marked for Death, let's switch this over here. What's going to happen, nothing. The Marked for Death is staying up and I've switched the ability out. At the very least I've showed you that you can actually pick Marked for Death and then switch out to a different ability.
But the whole point that I was getting to here is with active skills, you can only have a certain number in your tool kit at a given time. So if you're in the midst of combat and you don't want to be switching out skills, you want to go in with the skills that you want to have for that fight. Or just generally, for dungeon running, a general set of skills. So you won't always have what you want. But over time, you get more slots to have more of these skills available to you on-hand, on your hop bar, ready to use.
And as you have more of those available to you, you can use more of these cool things. Like Caltrops, for instance. I would not even consider using it if I only had two or three slots available. But once I had all slots available, I might have a good use for Caltrops.
I might say I'm making use of this enough to justify it. Anyway, all about the tool kit. All about the number of skills you have available at a given time. We got this one, I think, at level nine. The Chakram, the one that's filled with Chakram right now. Then obviously 12, 18 and 24.

67 Entertainment Weekly | Clark Collis If the result features around 1,783 too many fart gags, to be fair, it also boasts a couple of genuine minor scares. Although there's no doubt that the film's most horrible sight is a way-too-long shot of Swardson's naked rump. Read full review

PS4 edges Xbox One as video game hardware sales soar in November
Chris Morris at Plugged In16 hrs agoWhat a difference a couple new consoles makes.
Overall, when hardware, software and accessories -- including subscription cards for Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus -- were added up, the industry posted sales of $2.7 billion at retail stores last month, a 7 percent increase over 2012, reports the NPD Group.
Much of that can be attributed to the rebounding sales of video game hardware, which were up 58 percent in November to $1.3 billion as consumers snatched up the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
But which one sold better? That depends on who you ask, apparently.
In a statement, Microsoft claimed victory in the early sales race.
"November NPD Group figures released today revealed 909,132 Xbox One units were sold in the U.S. in the console's first nine days, making it the fastest-selling console on the market in the U.S." the company said. "Xbox One sales averaged a volume of more than 101,000 consoles per day, significantly outpacing the nearest competitor."
Sony disputed Microsoft's claim that the Xbox One was the top-selling console in the country, though.
Mobile version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 unearths long-lost secret level
Chris Morris at Plugged In21 hrs agoWhen Sega first released Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to iOS devices a few years ago, the reviews weren't great.
On Thursday, the company announced plans to remaster the game for mobile users, and in the process made it one of the most anticipated updates around for classic gaming fans.
The reason? The update offers more than the usual minor tweaks. It will include a level called the Hidden Palace Zone that was never officially released, but has become something of a legend over the past 20 years.
Android users will be able to get the game -- and the secret level -- for the first time tomorrow. iOS users will be able to download the update for free.
Initially planned as an area that became available once players collected all of the game's Chaos Emeralds, the Hidden Palace Zone was scrapped midway through development and never made it into the final game. The public only became aware of it when it leaked out via ROMs of the game.
Xbox One sales top 2 million in 18 days
Chris Morris at Plugged In1 day agoIt's a dead heat between the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Microsoft says sales of its next-generation console have topped 2 million in 18 days. That's roughly on par with the PlayStation 4, which sold 2.1 million units in 15 days.
"We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the positive response from our fans," said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing, Xbox. "We are thrilled to see sales of Xbox One on a record-setting pace, with over 2 million Xbox One consoles in homes around the world. Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers."
The strong sales are a coup for Microsoft, who was considered something of an underdog after the console's bungled reveal around the E3 expo. The Xbox One costs $100 more than the PS4, and the walkup to the system's launch saw Microsoft scrambling to make major changes in reaction to consumer complaints.
Happy 20th birthday, Doom!
Chris Morris at Plugged In2 days agoToday's big game launches are massive media events. Die-hard fans brave all sorts of weather to line up, stores open at midnight, and CEOs hand out the first few copies.
But even the carnival atmosphere of today's biggest titles pales compared to the launch of the seminal, controversial first-person Doom, which made its debut 20 years ago today.
Late on Dec. 9, 1993, a small group of programmers in the id Software offices sat bleary-eyed, staring at a computer. It was almost midnight, and they had just completed a 30-hour QA session, hoping to squash the last few bugs in the game before the its official release date of Dec. 10.
A computer administrator at the University of Wisconsin, David Datta, had agreed to let id upload the game to the school's FTP site so fans could download it and share it with others. When midnight arrived and the team hit 'upload,' it should have launched a new era -- but the upload failed.
Report: NSA spying on online games
Chris Morris at Plugged In3 days agoSpies aren't just listening in on your phone calls and reading your e-mails. They're also monitoring your gaming.
Based on new information disclosed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, a joint report by The New York Times, ProPublica and The Guardian alleges that U.S. and British spies have conducted surveillance and gathered data in online games such as World of Warcraft and Second Life.
Spy activity in the games was said to be so intense, in fact, that a "deconfliction" group had to be assembled so that spies from the CIA, FBI, and Pentagon would avoid running into each other.
Sony resets some PSN passwords due to 'irregular activity'
Chris Morris at Games Blog6 days agoSony is asking an unspecified number of PlayStation Network customers to change their passwords after finding "irregular activity" in a routine scan of the system.
The company did not disclose how many users were affected, nor what the exact nature of the activity was.
"The Sony Entertainment Network team routinely monitors for any irregular activity, and if such activity is detected, we may sometimes reset passwords of affected accounts to protect consumers and their account information," the company said in a note to affected users. "Your account password was recently reset as part of this process and you will need to create a new password the next time you access your account using the 'Forgot Your Password' option on the Sign in screen."

Chris Morris at Games Blog6 days agoSometimes, it really pays to read the fine print.
United Kingdom resident Peter Clatworthy learned that the hard way recently when he paid £450 (roughly $750) on eBay for what he thought was an Xbox One. What he received for his money, though, was just a picture of the console.
The auction description, it's worth noting, did say that bidders would receive a photo of the console - but it was still listed in the site's "video games and consoles" section, which led to the confusion. (Some shady eBay sellers pulled this sort of thing during previous console launches, offering just the packaging for their consoles.)
"It said 'photo' and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine," Clatworthy told the Nottingham Post. "I looked at the seller's feedback and there was nothing negative. I bought it there and then because I thought it was a good deal. It's obvious now I've been conned out of my money."
EA acknowledges flaws in Battlefield 4, halts future projects
Chris Morris at Plugged In7 days agoEA's biggest game of the year is broken, and the publisher is taking extraordinary steps to get it fixed.
Players of military shooter Battlefield 4 have reported several big issues with the game, including a bug that applies damage from a single bullet multiple times, killing the player instantly (quickly dubbed the "one-hit kill" by players). As a result, EA has said it will not work on any planned expansions to the game until the core product is running smoothly.
Speaking to IGN, an EA rep said "we know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority." As a result, Developer DICE is "not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4."
Television gaming icons Christopher Evan Welch and Danny Wells pass away
Chris Morris at Plugged In8 days agoChristopher Evan Welch and Danny Wells, two television actors who made significant marks on the video game world, have both passed away.
The losses are a blow to fans of kitschy gaming tie-ins. Welch was the original voice actor for Miles "Tails" Prower in the "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" animated TV series. Wells portrayed Luigi on "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show," another Saturday morning staple.
Welch, 48, died in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer. His role as Tails was his first professional credit, though he later went on to guest star on shows such as "The Sopranos," "The Good Wife", "Rubicon," and "Law & Order: SVU." Additionally, he appeared in films including Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" and "Lincoln."
The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which first aired in September 1993, starred Sonic (voiced by Jaleel "Urkel" White) and Tails in a neverending quest to thwart the evil Dr. Robotnik. It lasted three seasons before it was cancelled. Welch appeared in all 65 episodes of the show.

According to Sony, the system has sold through 2.1 million units just two weeks after hitting shelves, a record-setting worldwide mark for the PlayStation brand.

Europe and the Oceania region alone were responsible for 700,000 units, according to Sony.
"PS4 delivered the best launch in PlayStation history with the North American release and we've continued this incredibly successful start in Europe, Australasia and Latin America," said Andrew House, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "We are extremely grateful for the passion of PlayStation fans and thank them for their continued support."

So usually even if you like a sentence or a story or something, it won't come out that way - it'll come out years later, and in a different way, and you don't really control that.

I was in the studio so much, it was about the search for air in a metaphoric sense, and the breathing has more to do with travel for me, about the search musically for open air.
