OMG why cant we have this gorgeous dark looking game on PS3!!!!! love all this end of the world zombie s***....
3 hrs im definitely not buying a game this short with no replay value...lol..i see FLT has it up already.
I'm listening to the reviewer complain about the game, but at the same time I'm thinking "Damn, this looks and sounds amazing!"
But to be fair, I can see how the gameplay might get repetetive and dull.
Lol at people complaining, its just one mans opinion, if you enjoyed the game then more power to you, just don't come here attacking the reviewer just because you don't agree with him, and yes you are allowed to voice opinion but not this way like some of the posts, don't let a review get in the way of you enjoying a game you consider good, learn to deal with other people's opinion.
6.5? Shallow experience Crish Watters a cod lover saying that this game is shallow,repetitive and flat? Hahaa gamespot really should fired all their reviewers, Oh! excuse me, they should fired all their fanboys that makes reviews and hired professionals with real experience as journalist and writters to do their jobs. A guy that gives a high score to every boring and repetitive sequel of Cod surely will give a bad score to anything that doesn't show what he likes without any good reason, 6.5 just because he doesn't like it. what happen Chris to much Cod seal up your head and taste,or maybe it is that you have no taste to play anything besides first person shooters? Just like Kevin Van Ord who is a rpg lover who kills ever shooter he reviews just because he can't beat them,this guy give a bad review to something that his cod-fanboy brain can't process, Hey and remember Chris this is a Xbox live arcade game it's not an AAA game like Cod which even with a big budget is the same crap every year. At least games like this attemp to give us players new and good experiences.Dont' believe this guy and try it for yourself, i can assure you that it will not dissapoint you.
I think a review is always based on the personal impression of a game aswell even if you are a game reviewer. Secondly i think we always should read or watch video reviews in that way that there is room for own judgement, and if the gameplay or story appeals one should realy considering buying the game instead on purely going on what reviews say, they are are an oppinion and thats it. I played the trail version of Deadlight today and even it can be linair at points i still enjoyed the overall setting and textures, the lighting is very well done, and based on the gameplay, well its a sidescrolling game, that where largely popular awhile back in the early days of consoles. Playing Deadlight gives you back that sence of feeling you had playing those awhile back. Its still a highly enjoyable game tho, if its worth the 1200MS points? Well it is big (2 gig on your HDD) its hard to tell realy if your a huge fan of zombies and post-apocalypse settings and not mind playing a sidescrolling game then its def worth your MS point and time. If your however not a hge fan of either then best leave your points where they are, and wait for something else worth spending your points.
Gamespot reviews and scores below it in my opinion are so low rated lately.
Are GS members not getting enough money or they upset somehow by the developers ? YES - we need another generation of consoles and YES we need game dev to be more creative but this is not the reason to give at least 1,5/2 points score below average, below it's deserves.
Rather than worry about how "accurate" the score is, I prefer to look at the content of the review. As a quick snapshot of the writer's experience with the game, a score really can't be "inaccurate".
The review itself is the meat, especially the video review of a video game because footage can show examples of what is either being criticized or praised. With that in mind, I find Chris's review to be a good one - it gives all the relevant information needed to make a purchase decision. Type of gameplay and execution, storyline summary, any standout technical glitches, length, how well the individual elements combine, and a personal reaction to the package as a whole.
I got enough info from this to make an informed purchase decision. This is what I want from a review. Angry nerds yelling at the screen while wearing silly costumes may (depending on your taste) make for entertaining reviews, but they're not nearly as useful for the purpose of making an informed purchase as this was.
Thanks for the review. It does look like something I'd enjoy, and I do have spare points in my Xbox Live account.
6,5? And 6,9 in Meta?
That game is an Arcade and for sure is better than most of AAA games we see nowadays...
so let me get this straight, this is a 2D game yet Xbox still cannot get rid of those jaggies?
I love both zombies and 2D games but I cant help but really wanna move into the backgrounds on this one
I'll still get it mainly because I did like Limbo. I just thought it was too short and really didn't care for the way the game began and ended. It was like a found footage type game where there are no credit or introductions at the beginning or end. The only thing I'll probably dislike about Deadlight is the repetitive nature of the game. The game looks great for an XBArcade game and for the price it seems decent. I'll probably download it tonight along with Wreckateers.
i get save issues with this game, while playing it would kick me back to main screen and i have to go to dash and re launch it .. sigh.. i like this game.. guess ill wait for patch
Am I the only one wishing somebody would make a zombie RPG game, the potential for an incredibly atmospheric world and the character development would be insane!!! :( one can wish
@LeoLex_ Because developers small and large are still using that age old excuse that they don't know how to program for the ps3. Mojang did the same crap.
@shanethewolf How the heck can you hear anything with the pumped sound in this video?
Anyway, apparently there's also a "soundtrack version", but I have only a vague idea of what the music to this game would be.
And even if it would be interesting music, if it would be good quality.
It could well be that you get MP3s and that they're mastered too loud (like this video).
Besides, it's still at the expensive side...
@lonewolf666126 I know! It seems like they kinda copied the gameplay, or at least were inspired by Limbo. It could be that they're using the same engine or something, cause animations and such look very similar.
jwsoul dude i don't hate COD actually Cod 2 and Cod 4 for me are masterpieces ,but you can't deny that activision recycles the same game since modern warfare 2, they release the same game every F$% year i was expecting some several changes in Mw3 but not ,they took Mw2 and changed the maps and that was it, that's why i criticize it so much, Activision has way too much money to create something really good with the foundation that previous cod games has stablish,take a look at Halo for example the game was pretty much the same but in Halo reach Bungie improve the game mechanics but keeping the atributes that make Halo great the result was an excellent game,or look at battlefield the father of moder warfare fps multiplayer shooters that even if the campaign sucks it's developers took the time to add destructibility to the game and it was so good that it become a factor that change the way that a first person shooter must be played (in multiplayer mode it's awesome), in cod mw3 a jet goes right trough the map shooting bombs in a old town and not even a wall gets destroyed,Activision kills the root of COd since Mw2 where are the moments of intense battle in the campaign (remember the mission of D-day in cod 2 or missions like Heat in COD4) where you thougnt you can't win (vietnam mission in black ops is way to easy for a mission staged in a real war) since MW2 the game become easy,repetitive and boring even in veteran difficulty the multiplayer mechanics has not change since COd4 they just add things to it, Activision plays safe giving us the same package over and over again, that's why i don't accept that a guy who obviously is a COd fan like Chris Watters who gives good scores to every cod game gave a bad score to an low budget (low if you campare it to a AAA game) xbox live arcade game using the words shallow,repettive and flat because if that is the case my man Cod carries all those adjetives for some years now.
Dude, he didn't say "samey", like same stuff we saw before; he said "repetitive", and feels like we're acting out a script. That sounds fair enough to me. He also said that it would take 3.5 hours or so to finish it; so when a game is a little repetitive and very script-heavy in a span of 3.5 hours only, that's not great. Maybe a score of 6.5 is a bit harsh for a fairly innovative game like Deadlight, but bringing high scores for CoD into this doesn't help your point at all; on the contrary, thousands of people are gonna find you picking on CoD and being unfair to it too. I'm a bigger fan of Battlefield 3, but to bash CoD, a heavily multiplayer game and call it "same crap every year" is just uncalled for. It's good enough when FPS games that are multiplayer and fun to "shoot" in have this much drama and storytelling; at least CoD drama is much better than Crysis's almost non-existing storytelling, and they're both great games in their own right. Again, I do find 6.5 a little harsh here, and perhaps a 7.5 would've been more fair; I also feel that Kevin can overrate a few games sometimes (like Skyrim), but all GameSpot reviewers do an awesome job with most games; these people try to push the gaming standard up, and try to force gaming developers to add depth to their games, add drama and good storytelling, and while I feel they may occasionally overrate (Skyrim and Blizzard's mind-numbing crap) or harshly underrate (like Deadlight and Rage, which is almost a classic today after the patches and nVidia sorting out the driver issues), most of the time they do a great job. I respect this reviewing team, and see them as mostly fair; and at the end of the day, we're all humans, thus imperfect and occasionally emotional and subjective.
Let me tell you why that's bullshit.
"Are GS members not getting enough money..."
Are you implying that Gamespot is being bribed for high reviews? And if so then why are you fighting for them to give this mediocre game a high review?
Your other two points are irrelevant to the review since Walters never actually brought them up in the review.
Deadlight and LIMBO are similar in length and interesting atmosphere.
This is where LIMBO and Deadlight differ :
Reviews at Metacritic
Deadlight 69/100 http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/limbo
Limbo 90/100 http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/limbo
So, while this game is short like Limbo, it looks like the new developer Tequila Works missed the same gameplay beats the Limbo developer nailed.
I agree with u on that mate, but if its gonna be an RPG, the mechanics and physics for the character has to be somewhat like AC or PoP. For this type of games, they have to be able to jump and be agile, maybe like "I Am Alive", so u can be sure to escape your zombie attackers climbing to a window or a house if your stamina doesn't run low. What do u guys think?
@Easyaz You need to check out the Day Z mod for PC....no words can describe just how good it is! Bit of a pain as it's a mod but all the instructions are on the official site. It's also very unforgiving, with the average life expectancy in the game being only about 45 mins. http://dayzmod.com/
@Easyaz Yeah I know what you mean. Your best bet is to get Fallout 3 and there's a mod that adds a zombie apocalypse. Then there's a silent hill fog mod. Put those two together with rh-iron sights and now you have yourself a zombie rpg. I'm sure you would have a lot of fun with that. I use a mod that basically makes ammo pretty scarce unless you buy it from a vendor and I modded the damage guns do, so whenever I shoot something it feels like I'm actually firing a gun. It makes the game feel really balanced because while guns are deadly you don't have ammo just laying around so you have to conserve. Anyway, fallout 3 by itself is a fantastic game and you can mod it to pretty much be a zombie rpg with just the right feel of survival
@yasso I agree with what you wrote, just because a game is annual installment hit doesn't mean that the game is crap because saying that would be pissing off every soccer, nfl, nba and nhl series fan especially if they are crazy enough to find you and skull-f*** you. also i agree that skyrim is overrated so was fallout 3 and i think rage was a promise half- kept.
You Don't like my comments? then don't read them, this is a free speech channel. I will write whatever i want whenever i want,and you can't do anything about it.
Don't need to imply... it is the fact (people that didn't agree with paid reviews were fired from GS) so get your facts straight before you start yapping on other people's comments.
@corteztheg Agreed on Fallout 3, mate; now that you mention it actually, strangely enough I think that most of Bethesda's games are overrated...good, yes, but also slightly overrated.
As for Rage, the only things that spoil it for me today are the focus on car racing (I could do without that in an FPS with excellent mechanics) and size...it should've been bigger. Well, should've either been bigger, or had storytelling as good as Mass Effect 2...id Software's choice really. Other than that, I think the game, its world, graphics, mechanics, etc. are amazing and very promising. I'd give it an 8.5 today.
Skyrim was given 9 here, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was given 7.5. If you can logically and objectively explain to me what makes Skyrim THAT much better than KoA:R, then you simultaneously get your answer. @beansoup28
@snake8304 Then he can write whatever he wants and whenever he wants as well.
The "don't like it, don't read/watch it" is the biggest bullshit-comment on the internet, cause you have to first read or watch something before you can make your mind up, no? Geez...
I personally don't feel that any GS reviews seem that fishy. Yes, I agree that occasionally they may overrate, like in Skyrim's case, and underrate, like in Reckoning's case; same thing with over Blizzard's crap, and under something like Rage. But this is never done in a very glaring way, so it makes you just feel that the reviewers personal feelings influenced the objectivity a bit, but not really in the sense that the reviewer was instructed to do something due to a bribe. Even in Mass Effect 3, I was really, really disappointed with the game, and now will always consider ME2 to be the dearest to my heart and one of the best games I've ever played in my life; but even with the horrible disappointment, I would not be able to fairly give ME3 anything below 8.5, because they still made ME3 a bit longer and bigger than ME2, and also added a different experience with a multiplayer portion, so yeah, no matter how disappointed I am with the ending, with the shallowness and half-cooking of the romance options, with the horrible treatment of the long-awaited Ashley and making her the least trusting character towards Shepard, even if she were his lover (!), and so on, I still wouldn't be able to give ME3 anything below 8.5, as compared to ME2's 9. So in the end, if GS gave ME3, I can't really say they overrated in a glaring way, but yes, BioWare and EA really deserved to be punished for what they did to ME3 with a score of 8.5 only for the finale that broke so many fan hearts. @BadHungryWolf
@ak99372 Certainly think there's something fishy! I mean when Mass Effect 3 was review it got 9 out of 10...yet nothing was said about the ending?! Did EA pay GS to ensure a good review so that no one was put off buying the game? Once EA have your money...who cares!
Endings used to be a factor with reviews...Halo 2's ending was mentioned in it's review back in 2004 and being one hell of a frustrating cliffhanger where you'll have to wait 3 years for the next game!

…And the livin's easy
I spent the first official day of summer enveloped in hickory smoke.
This Saturday, my dad and his friend, Bob, smoked three huge racks of pork ribs up at our Bath County river house. I made some zucchini and summer squash on the grill, but other than that, I had absolutely nothing to do with these beauties.
Well, I did have SOMETHING to do with them: I ate some. Wouldn't you?
According to Dad, he used a dry rub on all three racks. Then, for the sake of experimentation, they smoked one rack with just the dry rub and used sauce on the other two racks. One got Stubb's and the other got Kraft barbecue sauce, which had been doctored up a bit by Bob.
We all decided that the dry rub finished off with sauce is the way to go. But all three racks were absolutely delicious.
I believe I may have to invest in a smoker one of these days. I can't seem to get the thought of smoked trout out of my mind now. Anyone out there like to smoke meat? I'd love to hear some of your tips.

THE MAROON V0L.72 NO. 20 Loyola University New Orleans FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1994 ESTABLISHED 1922 SGA official says he falsified budget signatures By CATHY NICHOLS and CHRIS BONURA Staff writers The Student Government Association will audit the American Trial Lawyers Association after the SGA discovered numerous errors in check and budget requests submitted for an ATLA trip last Fall. In lieu of the audit, SGA Vice President John Hernandez resigned as treasurer of ATLA approximately two weeks ago. Hernandez also admitted that he signed the names of Scott Beal, ATLA president, and Pamela Ebel, ATLA adviser and associate dean of the Law school, to the budget request. Hernandez said he signed the names to the request, which was submitted to the SGA in November, because he couldn't find Beal and Ebel. He said he notified them about doing so two weeks ago. Hernandez talked with Beal and Ebel, and told them that he had signed their names, and they had no problems with it. "They just asked that I don't do it again. It's a minor technicalityHernandez said. Hernandez said that if he had not even signed their names, the budget would have still been accepted. He also said that he submitted check requests for the ATLA convention trip to San Fransico, and didn't see a problem with doing so. "Anybody on the executive staff could make a check request, as long as the receipts are true," he said. However, according to Tim Bamett, Daima Center director, submitting check requests is not the responsibility of the SGA vice president. "There shouldn't be a conflict of interest because the vice president doesn't directly allocate funds and is not supposed to submit check requests," Bamett said. SGA President Erika Schwarz, firstyear law student, said that part of the reason for holding an audit is the confusion surrounding the many check requests that were submitted. Three were submitted that included the trip to San Francisco; all but the last one could not be funded because of errors. According to Schwarz, the first check request dated Oct. 19 was not submitted to Andre Dupont, former SGA director of finance. "They (a check request and receipts) went straight toTim Bamett with Andre's name [printed] on it," Schwarz said. Schwarz said receipts were missing and Bamett sent the request back to Dupont "He didn't know about this because someone had just taken a check request out of his desk and printed Andre's name on it," Schwarz said. According to Hernandez, he typed Dupont's name on the check request Hernandez Students profit from Academic Enrichment By DANIELLE JOHNSON Copy Editor Juggling classes, a job, extracurricular activities and home life can easily overwhelm students. The stress of such a hectic lifestyle can cause students to fall behind in their course work and become frustrated. However, students at Loyola have a place to go where they can get help. Academic Enrichment is a program that provides tutoring and academic counseling for students having difficulty handling school. Cynthia Cowan is one of three academic counselors who assists students with problems ranging from failing grades to time management "A lot of students have struggles at college. It's okay to ask for help. It doesn't mean that you're not bright," Cowan said. As a counselor. Cowan evaluates students and gives them advice on what to do to improve their situations. In addition to the counselors. Academic Enrichment also staffs 13 tutors who can help a student with core courses like English, political science, psychology, business and foreign languages, as well as a variety of other subjects. Maria Estorino, history junior, said students don't have to wait until they are having trouble to use the program. " You don* t have to be failing to get tutoring," Estorino said. As part of the tutoring process, students are taught how to organize and develop better study habits. Academic Enrichment also provides BEYOND THE CLASSROOM testing for placement skills and helps students improve their reading comprehension.Judy Bridges, a learning consultant with Academic Enrichment, works with students to find solutions to their particular problems. "I do testing for strengths and weaknesses, and make recommendations accordingly," Bridges said. Students who have learning disabilities, or suspect they may have, can get tested to pinpoint the trouble. "I talk to students with learning disabilities and suggest accommodations based on my diagnosis," Bridges said. Approximately 200 students per month use Academic Enrichment's services. Many students first hear about the program when a faculty member or academic dean refers them to Academic Enrichment. Students using the program's services are assured confidentiality, according to Bridges. Academic Enrichment encourages students utilize their services.

Hundreds of students celebrate International Week By Brenda Reyes- Tomasslnl Staff writer Students searching to understand multiculturalism were treated to food, song and dance that spanned the globe during International Week. As part of its commitment to provide awareness of the multicultural diversity on campus, International Student Affairs hosted International Week 1994, which started with the International Food FestivalFestival and Talent Show. The activity, held in the Danna Center Sunday night, attracted approximately 250 people. "This activity has been a success; more people than we expected came," said ISA President Miguel Elias, business senior. Participants tasted food from countries such as the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Argentina and Puerto Rico. "The food is great." said Lynette Torres, communications senior. "In my four years at Loyola I have never seen so many people at an activity. I think it indicates that there is more awareness of the cultural diversity among the Loyola community." At a talent show following the food tasting, some of Loyola's international students sang and danced to their country's native tunes.

"When I started to look for a job in the UK I contacted four dental recruitment companies and in the process I noticed some crucial differences. What I liked most about Blue Sky People was that you selected your offers: you introduced me a reliable company and locations that could suit me and my family. You were very kind and you didn't want to place me at all costs. This means that you also respected my interests and you didn't want to persuade me to choose your client. You were very helpful, you even provided me with the description of the company and a sample contract well before I travelled to England. In general I was well informed and I felt cared for."

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.
Historian of science James Hannam writes that the notion of inherent conflict between Christianity and science is a pernicious myth. In fact, by the middle ages, science already had a central place in Christian centers of learning. Indeed, it was a Christian worldview that proved especially compatible with—even necessary for—the rise of modern science. In this two-part essay, Hannam describes the conditions in the West in the medieval period that set the stage for the spectacular advance of science in the centuries to follow.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the relationship of Christianity with science throughout history. It debunks the myth that they have always been in conflict, and it reveals numerous examples of Christians playing a leading role in the development of natural science.

- Great product! Review by Kim
Quality Price Value This product makes home-cooking so much easier! When my golden retriever, Tango, was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on his rear ankle, I changed his diet to a home-cooked, wheat-free diet within the week. It's now been almost a year, Tango's tumor is gone (thanks to WSU Vet School and electro-chemotherapy) and Tango has never been in such great shape. I use Dr. Harvey's Veg-to-Bowl-along with a small amount of brown rice, as the base of his evening meal. I also use Veg-to-Bowl in the turkey meatballs I cook to round out his daily meals. The fine grind is perfect and I highly recommend it---for any size dog---over the "regular grind" Veg-to-Bowl version. This is a great product.

Iolana stops in her cabin on the way to the upper bridge. There should be some clothing or dry rags left in one of the shelves or trunks and after the dive she is unpresentable. She than heads toward the noises Gatherine is doing with the pick.
Gatherine grinned triumphantly as she heaved herself over the railing,stabbing her pick into the slanted floor for leverage and digging in her bootheels.She called out,Oi,Miss Iolana!You alright in there?
Over her shoulder she called to the straggling Mugambi.OI!!Hurry up!I thought you longshanks were supposed to be faster than that!she teased.
Well, i didn't find any danger so far, but after Gatherine's "greetings" if there was any i surely would've know by now
Shouting in response: "I'm fine,i'm just searching something to wear.We'll need Mugambi;i found the corpse of Alton in the stable.Probably died by poison"
Gatherine grimaced and called back at Mugambi,watching his mask bob as he hobbled his way steadily closer.EWWW! MUGAMBI,GUESS WHAT?!ALTON KICKED THE BUCKET!
Bolka watch over us…She added in a quick prayer as she scanned what apparently was the top deck.
Mugambi slowly make his way towards the wreck. His limp make walking on the uneven terrain more difficult.
take 10 on the acrobatics(balance) check, 12 as the result
When he finally arrives at the side of the ship Gatherine is already up there. He hears her shout about the poor first mate's death and becomes sad. He quickly tries to climb aboard the ship while asking back.
Ya girls in danger?
climb check
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
But his bad leg slips and he falls back after going up just a few feet. He lands in the shallow water and rocks making a splash. Not sure what happpens now, do i take dmg?
He gets up nervously and resume the climb with as much speed as he can gather.
Nat now spiritss, nat now...
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Judging by the others' response to his suggestion to eat the lobster-creatures and the availability of decent rations basically made the decision for them. After eating and recovering their strength, Averin followed Iolana into the water, but found the swirling of the waves around the rocks more difficult to navigate than the experienced sailor in front of him. He eventually just found himself treading water in a calm patch while he tried to decide whether risking the rocks was worth it or if he should just turn back and wait on the beach with Tol. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 - Swim check
1d6 ⇒ 4 damage from slipping on rocks to Mugambi 1d6 ⇒ 2 non-lethal damage to Averin
With considerable effort the mwangi makes it to the deck, practically rolling over the railing. He quickly stands, readying his shield and drawing his morningstar.
Perception check for enemies or any other danger: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Turning to Gatherine with an anguished expression on his face: Where is he?
Mugambi Status: Init +2; Senses: Perception -2 CMB +2 (+0BaB +2strength) CMD 14 (+0BaB +2strength +2dexterity +10) AC 13, touch 12, flat-footed 11 (+0 armor, +2 Dex, +1 shield) HP 11/7 (1d8+2)(+1 Favored Class) Fort +2 Ref +2 Will +1 Speed 20 ft 15 ft Armored Melee Morningstar +2 (1d8+2/x2)
Gatherine gave the human a curious glance as she noticed how his right leg was scarred and how he favored it.He was lame.She flushed guiltily when she realized how her teasing could have insulted the ship's doctor.
Sheepishly,she motioned across the deck.Uh,she said the body's in the stables.But she's naked right now coz she needed to change her clothes so…wait a minute.
Not seeing any imminent danger on the deck the tribesman barely hears what Gatherine says. He runs to the stables as fast as he can. He has seeing enough people confuse unconsciousness with death before and one can follow the other quickly.
As he arrives at the stables he starts to examine Alton's body, making sure there is nothing he can do and trying to figure out what happened.
Take 20 on heal check to figure out what happened to the first mate: 22 on the check.
looks like death by multiple stings and venom. Iolana was able to determine that the hole in hull at Gorra's stable looks to have been hacked open by an axe.(forgot to tell result of Iolana's percep check)
Crouched besides Alton Mugambi finish his examination. He turns the body belly up, with his hand he close its eyes and coif the hair.
He says a final prayer in the first mate's own religion and then wisper to him.
Shhh, ya rest now friend. Rest, Mugambi will figure out what happened.
He then chant another prayer in a strange guttural language.
And for a while he just stay there, looking at the corpse, lost in silence.
DM: Would the sting's wounds be the same as the ones made by the lobster/scorpions at the beach?
Gatherine decided to stand guard on the deck until either Iolana or Mugambi returned.She didn't fancy seeing a corpse that had been someone she had known or a naked human.Both were creepy and unsettling to her.She shuddered at the thought.Icky! She wondered whether or not there was anything to be found in the galley-- or any of the other cabin's.Perhaps she could find something in the captain's cabin for clues…
Tol's belly rumbles as he watches the proceedings from afar. He cannot hear much of what is going on. He breathes a sigh of relief when Gatherine makes it successfully onto the ship, but frowns as she moves out of his sight. He pats Gorra absently on the neck, and then digs in his saddlebags for a ration. I'm not going to try my luck with any more food from that ship until I'm out of my good, dwarven rations. He eats it, glancing frequently up at the Jenivere to see if there is any more action. After finishing his meal, he retrieves a whetstone and nervously sharpens his imposing axe, checking for further developments on the ship after each stroke. He appears oblivious to the other survivors gathered on the shore.
Iolana joins Gatherine and Mugambi after having wore larger strips of cloth tied around her chest and waist couldn't find anything more elegant but it'll be enough
"Sorry if i kept you waiting,but believe me,i wasn't presentable."
She then hands out a pair of parchements and an axe "There were these under the body,haven't read the scrolls yet,but think we could do it now before they get wet too much to be read.Also,i think the axe is what hacked open the hole in the hull....not making too many conjectures but it seems it was Alton to sink the ship"
Iolana should have remembered earlier,but does she saw the captain on the beach or if there was someone else missing?
no sign of the captain or rest of crew yet .. about 12 people missing
The scroll tubes contain open sea navigational charts with two dotted lines. One line has been marked with a question mark .. One line has "actual?" written next to it.
There is also a map of the island ..
Profession sailor to analyze the dotted lines 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Maybe these lines are sailing routes?
Iolana is able to determine the original line is the normal sailing route .. the other line suggests someone believed you have been off course since the day after you left last port.
Gatherine gave the map a bewildered look,tapping a long nailed stubby finger at the red question marks marked in the upper right corner.Wonder what these are for? Treasure? Maybe we should check them out?
"From the point of view of a sailor,i'ld say whoever drew them was wondering which was the correct one,leading to a safe port that is.I wouldn't chase fabulous treasures,we aren't experienced pathfinders members,and it is a very dangerous proposition to explore unknown places without many people and supplies"
Gatherine visibly deflated with dissapointment.Awww…
Sighing,she turned away and started to make her way to the stairs leading below decks,tucking her pick onto a loop on her belt. She paused to pull Sneezy Dragon from behind the breastplate of her lamellar armor and reload it with another paper cartridge.
May as well give this wreck a throughout check before the sea claims it.I'm gonna look in the captain's cabin to see if there's any clues in there.
Realizing that maybe she has been a little too stern,Iolana calls Gatherine back: "I'm sorry honey,i was just assessing our chances.Having dreams is a great thing Gatherine,just remember to be able to mitigate your dreams with the awareness of your true abilities.Anyway we have a lot to do yet,i'm sure we will go throu a lot of adventures in this isle" Iolana smiles reassuring......maybe even too many adventures,this doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing,but i'm not so enthusiastic
The captain's cabin is a mess. A hole in the hull on the right side of the cabin has caused some contents to spill out into the sea. The only thing left in the room not completely lost or destroyed is a large overturned desk that spans the hole, but is too large to pass through.
Gatherine gave what she hoped was an understanding smile and waved her off,Oh, no need to apologize. I was just a little...overeager,I guess. I guess i should be a bit more catious considering the fact we're shipwrecked on some creepy island called Smuggler's Shiv that may or not be crawling with cannibals and ghosts.
She headed downstairs to enter the captain's cabin,Sneezy Dragon up in case anything decided to pop out so it could be quickly put down.She REALLY hoped there weren't any ghosts lurking on the ship or the island--she doubted bullets did anything to insubstantial ectoplasm.
The dwarf maid tried to surpress a shudder.Brrr...ghosts!
Gatherine frowned at the state of the ramshackled room--the only thing that reamined intact was the huge desk stuck in the gaping hole in the ship's hull.Talk about ruined...
A push with her foot told her it was wedged tightly in place and she doubted she could pry it free even with help. Even if she did manage to move it, there was no way she could keep it from sliding back out into the sea,possibly taking her with it.
She tapped her free hand against her pick and considered breaking a hole in the desk's bottom to see if there was anything inside worth the effort.Should I?
She eyed the desk closely.Hmmmm...
Gatherine noticed that there were drawers on the sides of the desk. What would have been the top drawer was facing her,an ornate lock set into its face. She gave it a yank to find it was locked fast.
She carefully eased the side drawers open one by one, the contents spilling onto the floor. She swept them up and scooted the items near the door where she could examine them closely. She stuck Sneezy Dragon into one of the loops on her sash and unhooked her pick.
Carefully, she aimed and swung the pick into the bottom of the locked drawer with a crack of splintering wood.1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6She gave a yank and the drawer wrenched open with a squeal of nails torn from the wood.Gotcha!
"Gatherine, everything ok? What was that noise?"
Oi! Found something in the captain's cabin!Come see!
Not sure if we assuming Iolana and Mugambi are with Gatherine now,so will wait to check the spoiler.Averin went back to the beach?
you were not far from her, and she called out to you, so feel free to join her.
As Averin stands on the beach near the jetty, trying to decide what to do .. he sees an enormous lobster creature (three times the size of the others) slither into the break in the lowest deck not completely submerged and pass by the hole that Iolana went in.
Gatherine let out a delighted squeal and held up the bottle of brandy and the coffer containing nearly 400 gold pieces.She jumped up and down in glee.
YEA!!Gatherine cheered,cradling both items to her chest.I got swag!Booty!Loot!TREASURE!
The ship starts to creak and shift ..
Gatherine felt the floor beneath her boots quiver as an foreboding groan rose from the ship's shattered frame.Eyes as big as saucers,the dwarf maid dropped the coffer and tore her backpack from her shoulders.Unbuckling the flap,she dumped the coins inside,the brandy,the book,the keys,the leather satchel,and the small ship model.She buckled the strap tightly and shrugged it back on.
Time to go!
Stowing her pick back on her belt,she used both hands to heft the small but heavy footlocker from the floor and hustled her way out of the shifting cabin.She buffer as she hurried up the stairs,struggling not to pitch sideways.
Did Tol also see the big lobster?
not likely .. more likely that you will see and hear Averin react .. and you might notice when the wreck shifted a bit.
Hearing the girls talk Mugambi wake up from his reverie and walk upstairs to the captain's cabin in time to see Gatherine opening the captain's desk. As the ship starts to shift he grabs a wall for support.
Wha da...?
Seeing Gatherine moving he grabs the footlock from her so she may have more mobility. He then swings it inside his almost empty backpack.
Da tide seems to be shifting, maybe we bettar go.
"That wood model will be a nice remembrance of this part of my life.Now let's get moving"
Gatherine slid over the railing back onto the jetty below,again using her pick to maintain her balance.She made it a point to wait for Mugambi so he wouldn't slip and fall.She waddled over the sea-slick stone,climbing with aid of of her pick. Acrobatics check1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16 and Climb check1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Acrobatics 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Climb 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Since she would have to strip naked again to exit from where she entered Iolana decides to try the other way out,and she would like to be there if Mugambi and Gatherine need help.
Standing at the base of the jetty, Averin watched the others board the ship with a brief look of embarrassment. This is what he got for living a mostly landlocked life until this point, apparently. Squinting at the ship for any sign of signal of difficulty from the others served to assuage his conscience for a little while but as time passed and the possibility of threat decreased he was finally prepared to give up his vigil and go back to Tol until he saw the giant creature slip into the ship's hold. Letting out a shrill whistle as the only alarm, Averin sprinted to the jetty and began to pick his way across the rocks as carefully as he dared.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 climb check
You hear Averin whistle as you climb down from over the deck rail. The sound startles Gatherine at the wrong time .. she lands poorly 1d6 ⇒ 5 falling damage. From his view, Averin sees her fall, and sees the creature slither back. (across the hole in hold .. toward large break where you first saw it enter) The other castaways that stayed behind hear Averin's whistle as well. Tol looks up in time to see a small figure fall from the rail.
"Gatherine!" Tol yells. He sees the creature move through the ship, and, cursing beneath his breath, runs out onto the jetty, heedless of his cumbersome armor.
Left the shield behind; Armor Check Penalty -4. Here goes nothing! Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 4 = 2 => nothing indeed What is the approximate distance from where Tol is to the ship?

MORE THAN 100 COSMETIC AND BODY CARE COMPANIES PLEDGE TO MAKE SAFER PRODUCTS May 5th, 2005 On the eve of Mother's Day, when many sons and daughters purchase cosmetics and personal care products as gifts for their moms, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reports that 116 cosmetics and personal care product manufacturers have signed the "Compact for Safe Cosmetics," a pledge to replace hazardous ingredients with safer alternatives within three years. |
April 6th, 2005 The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has learned that the FDA recently conducted a safety study of phthalates a group of industrial chemicals linked to birth defects that are used in many cosmetics products but is refusing to publicly release the studys findings. |
COSMETIC INDUSTRY ON NOTICE: FDA ISSUES WARNING ON UNTESTED PRODUCTS March 7th, 2005 FDA calls industry's bluff on product safety. Acting on a petition filed June 14, 2004 by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), on February 3, 2005 the Food and Drug Administration issued an unprecedented warning to the cosmetics industry stating that the Agency is serious about enforcing the law requiring companies to inform consumers that personal care products have not been safety tested. |
THREE LEADING COSMETICS COMPANIES CHANGE INGREDIENTS IN U.S. MARKET TO MEET NEW EUROPEAN SAFETY STANDARDS January 13th, 2005 In a telling example of how new European safety standards for cosmetics are affecting products sold on U.S. shelves, LOréal, Revlon and Unilever confirmed they have eliminated certain toxic chemicals from their products. |
USA TODAY AD NAMES BAD ACTOR COSMETICS COMPANIES September 24th, 2004 A full-page advertisement in USA Today challenges cosmetics companies to come clean about whether they plan to remove toxic chemicals that are banned in the European Union from products sold on American shelves. The advertisement was placed by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of US health and environmental groups. |
NEW PRODUCT TESTS FINGER TOXIC LIPSTICKS July 15th, 2004 New product tests have found phthalates, which are known to cause birth defects in laboratory animals, for the first time in two popular brands of lipstick, Moon Drops Lipstick by Revlon and Lipfinity Paint by Max Factor. |
SKIN DEEP: ARE UNTESTED CHEMICALS HIDING IN YOUR MAKE-UP? June 7th, 2004 Most Americans assume cosmetics are studied and found safe before they are sold to the public. But thousands of personal care products are put on the market without any safety tests by the Food and Drug Administration. |

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect and evaluate toxic concentrations of methotrexate
When to Get Tested?
At specific timed intervals after a high dose of methotrexate to monitor blood levels and guide treatment and whenever symptoms suggest methotrexate toxicity
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None, but timing of the sample for testing is important; when having your blood drawn, tell the laboratorian when you took your last dose of methotrexate.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of methotrexate in the blood. Methotrexate is a drug that has been in use since the 1960s. It is primarily used to treat childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma, cancers of the lung, head, neck, and breast, and is also prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis. Methotrexate interferes with the vitamin folate, which slows the growth of cancer cells and decreases immune system activity. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and can help minimize the joint damage associated with RA.
Methotrexate must be carefully monitored. Even when used correctly, it can cause significant side effects. Increased concentrations can be toxic, potentially damaging the liver, kidneys, and lungs and suppressing cell production in the bone marrow.
The dose of methotrexate given depends upon the condition being treated. It is usually given once a week, with levels in the blood rising after a dose and then gradually falling. Methotrexate is eliminated from the body by the kidneys, so any condition that decreases kidney function or interferes with drug clearance has the potential to increase blood concentrations.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed, but timing of the sample for testing is important and the doctor may specify collection at a certain number of hours after a methotrexate dose.

Pete Miller's Seafood and Prime Steak - Evanston
Online Reservations
Always one of my favorite places. The only issue I have are the salads. Before the new ownership took over, the salads were among the best around. Since then, they have become smaller and much less appealing. In particular, the "old" chopped salad had chicken and carmelized onions and was delicious. Now the chopped salad is boring, small and something we will no longer consider ordering. That said, the steaks and burgers are terrific.
Pete Miller's is one of my favorite places in Evanston. The food is great, especially the meat dishes, which are my favorites. The live jazz every night gives a relaxing background sound without interfering with conversation. Service is very accommodating and I have never experienced waiting to find my serviceperson - he/she is always around when service is needed no matter how crowded the restaurant is. And they will cheerfully alter your menu choices to fit your taste or appetite. The ambiance and decor are also very pleasant. It is a great place to bring out of town guests - and everyone I've brought there has requested a return on future visits.
If you like live jazz, good food, and have guests under 21y.o. This is the ONLY place to go. We have brought local and foreign student musicians and always had a memorable evening. We've brought extended family for a graduate's celebration. This night was a birthday dinner for three. The birthday guy is a steak & music lover. Great food, great music, great time.
Some of the best I've had in a while. Began with LOBSTER BISQUE main meal of the PISTACHIO CRUSTED GROUPER with a mustard and lemon butter sauce. For drinks I went with ''Aromatic Whites'' which consisted of 2 types of- Pinot Grigio's and a Riesling. Overall I was extremely satisfied with my meal and the bread served before and during the meal. My date had a huge steak (not a meat eater not sure of the details) and mac and cheese. He said it was very bland (but swallowed all of it down lol) The most disturbing thing about the evening was how slow the waiter became as the evening progressed. He literally never came back at the end of the meal and we left the bill and tip on the table, other than that it was a very nice evening.
We went into Pete's just for some drinks and apps, and we left with a whole lot more! Tim, the bartender, was fantastic! After sitting down and immediately being offered a cocktail, we decided on waiting to order food. As I said, we did just intend on getting a few apps for the group, but after talking with Tim about the food, we decided that we had to try more than just apps. My goodness!! By far, one of the best steaks (bone-in filet) that I have ever had! My wife loves ribs, and these are right at the top of her list now as far as ribs go! And don't get us started on the ahi tuna entree that our friend had! Thanks for the suggestions, Tim...see you again soon!!
Boyfriend got steak...he was pleased. I got the lobster mac n' cheese....i was pleased.
Our children live in Evanston so we often stay for dinner before driving to the suburbs. We have eaten at Pete Miller's twice and have been pleased both times. The food was excellent. I had the ribs which were plentiful and delicious. Everyone else seemed to be pleased with their meals. The service was slow but it was quite crowded for a weeknight. I would highly recommend that you make a reservation. Our bill didn't break the bank even with a few drinks.
We had a wonderful meal with small plates. The wait staff was friendly and very good. The food was superb.
I was very happy with my first experience at Pete's for my 10th year wedding anniversary. The food was excellent, my wife, daughter and myself can't wait to go back. My daughter tried new things and I had a beef Wellington which I had not had since my wedding day 10 years ago and it was good. All the meals were very filling for the price. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
We needed to grab a quick bite before we went to a concert at Nichols Hall, and I am glad we chose this place. Not only they seated us at the best table to view the piano stage, the server, Kory, was extremely attentive to make sure we have a good and relaxing time at the same time us to be on time for the concert. For the time constraint we had, both of us ordered from the Bar Food menu. The burger was made to its perfection, and we appreciated the fact that they let us choose healthy veggie side dish from the option.The additional surprise was the jazz performance began at 6pm!! I was not expecting it, so it was a bonus. We would definitely come back here for a quick bite again, and maybe for more extensive dinner too!
Easily one of the best meals around. Will visit often. The food is amazing and the wine list is the perfect size.
The food was excellent and our waitress provided great service (and showed a wonderful sense of humor, too!).
Outstanding! As usual, great food,excellent service, and wonderful music.
Great shrimp cocktail and blackened tilapia. Love the fish tacos too.
The flavors of the food were excellent. I had the sea bass, and my dining associate had the twin lobster tails. The garlic mashed were tasty, but could have been served at a hotter temperature. The ambience was wonderful, as was the entertainment. It was not too loud to carry on a conversation, but very enjoyable.
We were in the Chicago area for the PGA tournament and were looking for a seafood and steak place. Boy did we find the best for both. The Sea Bass was the best I have ever had and my husbands bone in riib-eye was outstanding as well. The drinks were like you make at home and very reasonably priced to our amazement. It was so good we came back two days later before we left town. The service was great and very friendly We would highly recommend this to anyone.
We found Pete Miller's by chance on Wed night while visiting in Chicago and had such a great meal we went back two days later on our last night in the area. Amazing Sea Base, best I have ever had. Great steaks and drinks like you make at home.
I promised the Wheeling store, after a bad experience there, that I would try them again. This evening in Evanston was a delight in every way. We were with close friends and it was excellent. I am now back on the Miller bandwagon.
We were seated in a wonderful quiet booth for four people, and the service was excellent. Wine list is extensive (somewhat pricey) and the menu selection was great. One of our group had bison which was flavorful; the rest had steaks or prime rib. Great side dishes (one included with entree) and salads.
Nice restaurant for a special occasion. Food was good and the hostess and server/ waiter were nice.
Lately we've been restricting our food intake and often share dishes. Our two last visits here have been perfect: filet mignon done to perfection with a side of mushrooms and a wonderful Caesar's salad followed by a dessert of fresh berries. And the drinks were great, too, prepared nicely and served at the table. The accompanying bread is always a delight - warm and delicious.
We used to live in Evanston and loved Pete Millers, when we visit we always go back!
The old-time menu and jazz pianist made this a wonderful spot in Evanston for old friends from the north suburbs to meet friends from the city halfway.
Great place, been going for years. The bartender always remembers the wife and I and is fantastic at his profession!
As liason to a group of 6 VIP's I was informed just prior to leaving for the restaurant that another couple would join us. The hostess had arranged a private room for the group and was quick to rearrange tables to accomodate what was now a group of 8. Our server Corey was outstanding from start to finish, he had great energy, a complete knowledge of the menu and wine list and really added a special touch to what was already a wonderful evening. Everyone commented on how wonderful their meal was and what a truly special evening they had. I would highly recommend Pete Miller's to anyone looking for a place for a special celebration or just a great meal with outstanding service.
Go to Pete Miller's for a solid steak house experience in Evanston. The steaks are great - we tried a buffalo steak this time - and the service is excellent. On a date, enjoy the moody lighting, and live music. We also discovered the wine flights for our meal - that was fun! So many good choices it can be hard to decide - but you won't go wrong.
The shrimp and fish were delicious! Great martinis too.
Very enjoyable evening. The steaks were terrific. Very good tasting and done exactly as we ordered. My wife and I took our two grandsons, age 15 and12. They had a great time. Our waiter was very good, engaged with them and made sure that they had a good meal and a good time.
Classic atmosphere with reliably good food and service.
The Whole Experience was outstanding, from Host to Dessert,
Pete Miller's is an active participant in the local business community, and does a great job promoting live jazz. As a gluten-free vegan, I wish there were more menu options, but the staff has been great about accommodating my food needs, especially considering that the restaurant is known as a steak house. I get the large house salad, and add avocado and walnuts. It's delicious and filling. The sides make for a full meal, including awesome sauteed spinach (in olive oil, not butter), baked potatoes, and other veggis.
Had oysters Rockefeller and an excellent steak. The service was very good, as was the jazz on Tuesday evening. Our window table had a nice view of Sherman Avenue.
We were seated at a large table for 5 people. We were celebrating our anniversary and I noted that in our reservation. The table was too big. We could hardly hear each other talk and were seated in a very busy area by the waiter's stand. Felt like we were in the way. Really took away from the romantic atmosphere. Our server was very nice but seemed like he was trying too hard, making cheesy comments and being overly enthusiastic, but very helpful just the same. The food was good, but not amazing. We both ordered the Filet Trio, the meat was cooked well, but the parmesan, blue cheese, and horseradish just seemed like an afterthought thrown on top. My creamed spinach- disappointing. It was limp, barely cooked spinach floating in heavy cream.
My husband had the ribs. I had the salmon. My husband was happy to eat ribs that had meat on them for a change. The creme brûlée is the best ever! It wasn't a cheap night so we won't go back often but we will go back.
Loved my ribs. My husbands steak was just ok. Crab cakes, beans and banana crepes were all great.
Best place for steak and even somr select seafood for 10 miles...live music and cute wait staff... Ray D
We had Duncan serving us at our dinner for two, and he was extremely personable and helpful. He offered a breakdown of every cut of meat on the menu and was very clear about our options. Food was excellent and the service was good enough that we didn't notice what would normally be considered a pretty solid wait time for two people (~30 minutes). Will definitely return.
Local steakhouse always delivers on classics with great service.
Pete Miller's is consistently a great dining experience. The ambience is warm and welcoming. The live jazz makes it an especially pleasant experience. Their steaks and prime rib are imorccably prepared, exactly as ordered. Sides are generous and enhance the meal. Service is excellent, attentive without hovering. Overall, a great experience.
Great steak - one of the best - in a relaxed atmosphere
Not only did we enjoy our steak and shrimp cocktails, but the Terry Bartolett Trio was particularly enjoyable. I hope they play there often.
I was very pleased with the food and service at Pete Miller's Steakhouse. There is a nice variety of entree options with a good price range. I also enjoyed the live music during the dinner. I would definitely return again.
As always a great place, good food. Our favorite restaurant.
Great steaks and service but without the downtown prices. The live music is a huge bonus. The wine list is good but not great.
Consistency in food and service, great steak house
Nice live music, not to loud. We started with crabcakes. Very tastee, not to much breading. The lobster bisque was great. Next caeser salad for the table, nice. Most of us had prime rib and one had filet migon. Everyone had the right temperature.The talking slowed a bit while the meat was attacked. The service, cocktails and wine were good. The only down side was the gift cards I purchase prior to dinner. I asked about restrictions on the bonus certificates and was told there were no restrictions. I was surpised so I asked a second person and same answer. i checked the gift cards and left. Once home I noticed that there were certificates behind the gift cards, for the bonus certificates with RESTRICTIONS. I'm sure this falls on management.
Food was very good, price point as expected; good value. The wine bottle should have been poured a second time for the second glass by the server. It is difficult to reach across the table (we were a party of four) to make the pour. The timing of the appetizers, entries and desserts was excellent. The server was friendly. We were a little disappointed that there were no specials - we dined on a Thr evening. The sides were huge. All and all a very nice evening for which we thank you.
We've dined here many times. Really enjoy the big variety on the menu. Everything we ordered was very good. Steaks cooked perfect. The only thing I would change is having the years listed for the wines. The vintage makes a big difference and not having the year tends to weaken a very good selection.
Fun atmosphere, fine jazz music, even better food and cocktails. It's great for us "old-timers" (not old, just around and familiar with Evanston) and, I imagine, the local college crowd. I just hope the word doesn't spread too quickly. It can get a bit rowdy at times (just people laughing, mainly), particularly on the weekend, but if you're up for the challenge and great food (steak and seafood), wine, and cocktails, you should leave quite satisfied!

(slightly off topic) Chip, FWIW, I just published an article in the January edition of LinuxJournal titled "The Basics of Booting Linux Remotely". It discusses both pxe and etherboot, but only talks about NFS mounted remote root file systems. I originally explained several methods of providing the root FS, but had to edit due to space considerations. If you're interested in writing for LJ, off their main web site they have a site devoted to upcoming issues and articles that they're soliciting.

I'm in contact with the maintainers of the Diskless-HOWTO; it looks like some of this will be included in chapters there. I'm also trying to see if I can get it published in the Linux Journal.
