Colts clinch top pick with loss to Jags
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)
ROAD TO INDYThe Giants and Patriots will kick off Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI. Want more info?
Peyton Manning insists he hasn't thought much about the NFL draft.
Now that the Indianapolis Colts have the top pick, he might be welcoming Andrew Luck in four months.
The Colts locked up the No. 1 pick in April's draft Sunday, setting the stage to select the Stanford quarterback. They fell to 2-14 when Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a season-high 169 yards - clinching the NFL rushing title and breaking the franchise's single-season record - and led the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 19-13 victory.
''Like I said all along, the Colts are going to do what they have to do,'' Manning said. ''The draft is something the personnel department will address. They'll deal with that as they see fit. As far as can I coexist with anybody? I think I can coexist with any player I've ever played with. I think I've always been a good teammate in that way. To speculate on how we're going to draft, that's more for other people to do, not the players.
''I can play with anybody. It's all going to shake out.''
The Jaguars (5-11) became the first AFC South opponent to sweep Indianapolis since 2002 and gave outgoing owner Wayne Weaver a victory in his final game.
STARGAZINGEverybody loves the NFL, even celebrities. See A-list actors and recording artists on the sidelines.
''It was special,'' Weaver said after players presented him with the game ball in the locker room. ''A little overwhelming, but it was special. It was kind of emotional at times to realize that this really is it. There's no turning back now.''
The Colts may have been the big winners, though. Indy would have dropped to the No. 2 spot in the draft with a victory in Jacksonville. Instead, owner Jim Irsay will have the choice to draft Luck to join four-time MVP Manning.
Manning was on the sideline all season after neck surgery. On Sunday, he had a front-row spot for the Jones-Drew Show.
Jones-Drew started the day with a comfortable lead in the rushing race. And when Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy and Houston's Arian Foster were inactive, it pretty much locked up the rushing title for Jacksonville's stocky star.
But Jones-Drew wanted more. He talked earlier in the week about how special it would be to break Taylor's franchise mark of 1,572 yards set in 2003.
He did it in style, taking a third-quarter handoff around the left side, breaking a tackle near the line of scrimmage and picking up 56 yards. It was his longest run in more than two years.
Teammates patted him on the helmet and shoulder pads. Two plays later, fans gave him a standing ovation as his achievement was announced over the public address system.
''As long as Mo stays healthy, he'll break every single record I ever set,'' Taylor said in a text message to The Associated Press. ''He's a special talent with great work habits and deserves to be rewarded as such.''
Jones-Drew also sealed the victory by picking up two first downs in the closing minutes, sending many of the 60,000 on hand to the exits on New Year's Day.
He finished the season with 1,606 yards on the ground and 1,980 yards from scrimmage - the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the NFL's worst offense.
''It's easy to take all of the credit, but those guys did a heck of a job blocking two or three guys, running down the field to get extra blocks and making it easier on me,'' Jones-Drew said.
The biggest applause of the day was for the Weavers. Wayne and his wife, Delores, were recognized at halftime. Wayne Weaver almost singlehandedly brought the team to Jacksonville in 1993. After 18 years, 352 games and six playoff appearances, he is walking away from an exclusive club.
Weaver sold the team to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan last month for $770 million.
The team honored Weaver and his wife with a video montage, gold-plated helmets and a spot in the Pride of the Jaguars, the team's Hall of Fame. They joined left tackle Tony Boselli as the only ones in the Pride.
Khan officially takes over Wednesday. His biggest task is hiring a new coach.
The Colts could be in for changes, too.
Irsay must decide whether to pay Manning a $28 million bonus, let him become a free agent or work out a new deal with the franchise quarterback. Irsay has said that if Manning recovers from neck issues, he will be back in Indy, no matter the cost.

Questions also surround coach Jim Caldwell, team vice chairman Bill Polian and general manager Chris Polian.
So Luck seems to be the only lock.
''This should be a fun time for the city of Indianapolis during the offseason,'' said receiver Reggie Wayne, one of several free agents. ''Despite the year we had, there are things to look forward to. So it should be exciting.''
Notes: Colts TE Justin Snow (concussion) and CB Chris Rucker (back) were injured during the game. .... Jones-Drew is the first player in franchise history to lead the NFL rushing. Taylor never finished better than sixth. ... Jaguars LB Paul Posluszny (shoulder) left the game and did not return. ... Jaguars coaches, none of them under contract beyond this season, have until Friday to clean out their stuff.

STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) -- A Staunton couple came home to find their dogs hanged by their own leashes in their backyard.
"It's an unreal feeling. It does not feel real. It only feels real when you look into their empty cages. And they're just gone," said Jessica Hypes.
She and her husband, Larry, are living that lonely nightmare in a house they say is now too quiet. The couple came home Sunday to a sight Larry says he can't get out of his head, "Seeing him in that position back there, man. Just made me wish there was anything I could do to help him."
He said he found two of their three dogs hanging by their leashes from the cage. Their other dog, Bogey, ran away, but returned home Monday morning.
"Oh my gosh. I walked in the house and said, 'Thank God!' I said, 'Larry, he came home.' He just came home. It was the best feeling in such a horrible situation, that we at least have one of them back," said Jessica.
They said their dogs were like their kids.
"I know it's not the same as losing your own child, and I'm no stranger to pain. I lost my brother at 21 and my dad passed away two years ago from cancer. And it hurts. It hurts just as bad. Especially how brutal it was. And just how mean and vicious it was. It wasn't like a natural cause. At all. They were tortured and hung," said Jessica.
They now hold tightly to Bogey and to their memories of Duke and Benji.
"We would all five just pile up right here and watch TV. And now we're two short," said Larry.
With the help of police, they're trying to find out who or what did this to their dogs. Jessica said police told her that they looked at surveillance video from a neighbor's house. She also said that police told her Monday that the dogs might have been killed in a freak accident with the wind, but she says they're still not ruling out foul play.
She said they're waiting on the results from the necropsies.
If you have any information about this case, contact the Staunton Police Department at 540-332-3842.

Zack Mosley [Celluloid 11.05.12] horror action comedy
Near the end of Dead Sushi, a character exclaims "this has reached a point where it no longer makes any sense!" He missed the mark by a good ninety minutes or so. Dead Sushi is a really bad movie, but that seems to be the draw. Do you like really bad movies?
Keiko is the daughter of a ball-busting master sushi chef. The problem is that she doesn't have any balls to bust, so her father refuses to accept her as a worthy apprentice ("you smell like a woman, which adds to the fish scent"). Keiko flees from her home and lands at an inn, where she takes a job as a sushi server. But the white collar clientele set off her stubborn pride. These stupid dilettantes don't even realize that egg sushi is the best way to discern a chef's skill! Never mind that they can't even tell when the rice has been thumbed incorrectly, or if the fish is fresh. This leads to the most interesting scene in the movie, where Keiko gets all Jiro Dreams of Sushi on these assholes and teaches them a thing or two. The male Japanese ego being what it is, they don't take instruction too well. But Keiko's father's training program included chop socky, so she gets all come at me bro and beats the crap out of them. If you're open to a little bit of sushi philosophy mixed in with your mayhem, Dead Sushi wants to educate you on a few points. The main one is that girls can cook sushi and kick ass, so you go sister, and all of that.
But I want to avoid misleading you. Dead Sushi doesn't have too many thoughtful ideas on its mind. It's mostly just ridiculous crap, thrown at the screen like so much sticky rice. The source of this ridiculous crap is a homeless guy with a squid in his trench coat. He injects the squid with a syringe full of dayglo green Herbert West serum that turns it into a rampaging mutant of the Frank Henenlotter variety. Squiddy quickly sets to work racking up a body count and turning individual sushi and sashimi into the living dead, bestowing powers that include acid-spitting, flame-throwing, razor-slicing, and what have you. These well-armed sushi launch an attack on the inn, possessing and slaughtering the employees and clientele indiscriminately. There's a lot of Evil Dead 2 in here, with zany camera tricks, eyeballs popping out, people tongue-kissing decapitated heads, etc. Instead of tree rape we have sushi rape, instead of black bile we have half-digested rice goo. If you guessed that Keiko's martial arts skills would come in handy in the battle against dead sushi, you are correct. We are treated to scenes of her punching and kicking flying rolls out of the air, and even a scene where a dude fires a gun at sushi. We see sushi mating with each other and giving birth to baby sushi. At the end of the movie, the homeless guy returns as an axe-wielding mackerel-headed end boss with a sushi battle cruiser that fires rockets. Have I qualified my "ridiculous crap" statement yet? Good. Moving on.
If you've made it this far into the review, you should already have a good idea of whether or not this movie is for you. For some moviegoers, enough insane off-the-wall content will guarantee entertainment, regardless of the movie's actual "quality". Films like Dead Sushi are essentially critic-proof, because there is a hardcore fan-base for this type of stuff that will eat it up with chop sticks. I haven't seen director Noboru Iguchi's previous work (The Machine Gun Girl, RoboGeisha (trailer), and Mutant Girls Squad (review) among others) but I imagine fans are in for more of the same. However, it is not only the subject matter that is crude, which is where Iguchi falls short of his peers. The filmmaking is sloppy, even taking a low budget into account. The CGI looks like it was done in 1997 by the team from Spawn, and the practical effects don't fare much better. The score sounds like someone noodling along to the auto-patterns on a pawn shop synthesizer. The sound design possibly came from a CD sampler of Halloween Sound FX. The actors all practice that distinctly Japanese custom of screaming every line of dialogue. At 90 minutes, Dead Sushi feels about 75 minutes too long for its concept. This would have made a good short, along the lines of Treevenge (clip). But if you're in the mood for cheap all you can eat in a sketchy establishment...
So, I ask you again, are you the type of person who likes really bad movies? I am, but I still found Dead Sushi tiresome. I was buzzing on my sixth beer of the night, and the midnight audience at the Rio was in good spirits, whooping and hollering at all the right moments. I'd even hazard a guess that this was a festival favorite among the boozed up hardcores. I saw the movie in the ideal conditions, and had a relatively good time soaking up the ambience despite finding the actual feature on screen to be piss-poor in nearly every aspect. "Fun" is a subjective thing, and if Dead Sushi sounds "fun" to you, it probably will be. I'd rather pick squid spermatophores out of my cheek than suffer through it again, but that's just me.

Unfortunately, the room was small and they were loud. Soooooo - somewhat annoying. I had the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict (BENNY). The salmon was delicious and putting it on a croissant was brilliant BUT the egg had runny white - yuk. Salad was good but the lettuce leaves were too big. Should have been chopped. I had to cut it up and the plate was kind of small (served on the same plate as the BENNY).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When I called to make the reservation, the host said that three had already been made in my name. Our waiter was very friendly, but it seemed like he was spread a little thin. He had the entire section, including two very big groups. I understood why he wasn't as attentive. Also, his French accent sounded fake.Special Features:

Otherwise, pretty expensive, e.g., the bread basket was $10 and had 4 different breads in it.Special Features:

Somewhat surprised the flat iron cut (the "signature" cut of steak) was not pre-sliced. Since I had ordered mine medium rare, cutting chunks off myself made the steak seem chewy, when it wouldn't have if it had been pre-sliced.Special Features:
- OUTSTANDING!TravelinglawyerDined on 10/26/2014*L*O*V*E* this place!! Brunch on Sunday was wonderful - felt like we were in Paris sitting outside watching people go by on sidewalk. Shared Creme Brulee French Toast (true French toast -thick Brioche, soft on inside, crispy on outside, lovely cream sauce & blueberry compote) and veggie omelet (goat cheese, spinach, mushroom that day) - both were awesome! Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A quaint French eatery kind of in the style of Le Diplomate with all the authentic furnishings without the pretension. The name of Mendelsohn is obviously an attraction as well, with the family now controlling pretty much all of Pennsylvania Ave. SE. However, I found that the service did not live up to the hype and name notoriety. To be sure, the food was good. Not knock-your-socks-off good, but still good. The service was not good at all though. It's not that they were mean, but really really slow. In fact they were quite nice and amicable, but we ended up having around a 3 hour brunch. Just seemed a little disorganized for a restaurant with such high buzz.Special Features:
- Worth a VisitfemfactiVIPDined on 10/24/2014Having dined here on several occasions for dinner over the past year, it is always a safe bet for taking out of town guests who want to be on the Hill and they aren't into complicated menus. The food is straight forward, but not inspiring. The pre fixe is a good deal and the french onion soup is well executed. The temptation of bottomless fries is fleeting, as the fries are actually very average. Good, but not great. Usually overly crisp to the point that they are almost chip esque rather than that perfect balance of crisp with a little give in the middle. The seasoning on the fries (herb toss) is also fine, but not memorable. The meat typically come out as ordered, the sauces are not memorable, but are each adequate depending on your mood.Special Features:
- vegan special dishwaelDined on 10/22/2014The vegan special event included a delicious roasted cauliflower! However, I was pining for more vegan options on the original menu. I'd love some cutting-edge vegan appetizers, entrees, and desserts... if a vegan dish is delectable, it'll be desired by everyone :)Special Features:
- Great food, but too much of itKatherineDined on 10/22/2014The food at Bearnaise was excellent - I got the duck leg confit and my friend got the special that evening, a cauliflower steak. We also both got the petit french onion soup. While the food itself was delicious, well presented, and incredibly flavorful, there was simply too much of it. The petit onion soup could easily be a lunch alone and was far too large for a starter size serving. Both entrees, especially the cauliflower, were slightly overwhelming as well. Definitely go hungry, or don't order starters.
- FantasticbluemoonDined on 10/22/2014It's been a long time since I have seen every plate cleaned to the last crumb and there were five of us but we did, finish it all. Everything from the mussels to the char broilled burger was delicious. I had the Sole, beautifully cooked atop an olive tomato sauce and I used the fresh and tasty sourdough bread to soak up the juices. Of course the house frites were delectable. We also tried the cheese plate and loved every morsel, the honeycomb honey a big hit. As a special treat a Pop up menu was available for vegatarians that was throughly enjoyed by the vegan in the group. We are also fans of Top Chef and enjoyed the celebrity chief sightings and introductions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- More than expectedChefRichardDined on 10/22/2014We ate at Bernaise on an early Wednesday evening. We both had steaks, a filet and ribeye. They were perfection. We also had mushrooms and the signature Brussel sprouts. I had the escargot which were rich and delicious. My wife had the onion soup. Spike wasn't in when we dined but when I peeked in the kitchen there was Marcel (another Top Chef). I would almost make the ddrive from New York to eat here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Capitol Hill a la BernaiseOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/21/2014Fantastic moules Dijon. Of the choices the best mariniere not as great. Wonderful roasted petit choux (brussel sprouts) with a great sauce. and the frites. Perfection. Crispy light the way they are supposed to be. I may start coming to the Hill to eat again.Special Features:
- Amazing Brunchame123Dined on 10/19/2014The smoked salmon bennie is INCREDIBLE. Best smoked salmon I've ever tasted. Our waiter (tall one with the french accent) was amazing. Great service and top notch brunch.Special Features:
- SaltyOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/16/2014Food was way way over salted. Even the waiter was salty and rude. Cheap meat was over cooked and loaded with meat tenderizer.
- Spike has done it again!gcs202Dined on 10/12/2014Had brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and amazing food. Although I liked my entrée, I had entrée envy. My friend ordered the mussels, which I regretted not ordering. Both tables beside us also wished they had ordered the mussels. Gives us all a reason to go back....Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 10/12/2014Very nice Sunday brunch -- food was delicious and minor substitutions were accepted and executed well. The pricing is a bargain. Once the food was delivered, it was difficult to get waiters' attention. The noise level is very high -- almost impossible to carry on a conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot for birthday parties!jeaneDined on 10/8/2014Yum! Our first experience at Bearnaise will have us coming back. We had a table of 6 loud women celebrating a landmark birthday, a farewell, and each other for lunch this week. The food was excellent, Andrew was delightful and the setting was simple and lovely. Thank you for making this a great place for us to celebrateSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb!GourmandVIPDined on 10/2/2014Bernaise makes what must be the most outstanding cheeseburger in creation. Their ginger carrot soup garnished with candied ginger slivers was sublime. Their secret is that they respect the food; its care and handling and their preparation. Our service was friendly, prompt and efficient. I look forward to dining there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely brunch @ BearnaiseDCDebVIPDined on 9/28/2014Met up with a friend for brunch. We haven't seen each other for months and the staff were very accommodating, allowing us to jabber on before ordering. We ordered the $16 AYCD Mimosa option and our servers were terrific about noticing when our glasses were empty. I ordered the veggie omelet which was delicious but a little light on the goat cheese. My friend had the Croque Madame. I know it's brunch but I'd love to see some non-breakfast options other than just steak and frites and mussels. Price point for the meals is excellent and the food was piping hot when it arrived. And sitting outside was the icing on the cake!Special Features:
- EnjoyableIshtarDined on 9/28/2014I can see how this place is a hit or miss, but it was a total hit when I went. Brunch menu is more vibrant than dinner menu. Food options were good, though a little pricey. I enjoyed it mainly for the fact they had the best bacon I have had yet at a brunch spot and it has Bagel and Lox; which is near impossible to find in this city.Special Features:
- Lovely!jhoskinsVIPDined on 9/24/2014We live in the neighborhood, and Bearnaise never fails to deliver. The food is solid - I've never had a miss - and the service is fantastic. I love their selection of wines by the glass and the bottle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, long waitOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/23/2014I really enjoyed the server's attention to the table throughout the night. The food was very good. My only issue is the extended wait to get the food. It took almost 45 minutes to get the soup course, then another 30-40 minutes to be served the steak. It was a Tuesday night and didn't appear to be very busy at the restaurant, so I'm not quite sure why the wait was too long. I didn't want to cause a fuss or put it on the server (b/c it didn't seem like it was his fault), so I didn't mention anything that night. This doesn't seem to be something that happens often, but it may have been since I had a larger party of 7 people.
- Great brunch!nutmeag22Dined on 9/21/2014Went for brunch right at 10am. Sat immediately upstairs. Food and drinks (mimosa for me, grapefruit juice for my prego friend) were delicious, but service seemed weak considering there weren't many people there. Our waiter was standoffish and only checked on us a few times. The busboy/food runner seemed more attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely lunch outdoorsAliceNoVaVIPDined on 9/19/2014We had a coupon that made our lunch an especially good deal. On a lovely (i.e., not hot and not humid) late summer day we chose to eat at one of the outdoor tables. Since vehicular traffic is not too heavy in that particular block, it was pleasant to sit out and watch the Capitol Hill folks walk by and enjoy our delicious 3-course lunch. Waiter was very good. Can't speak to what noise level might be indoors since we ate outside.Special Features:
- Top Chef in DCGblsnlVIPDined on 9/17/2014I was in from out of town and wanted to try Top Chef's spike Mendelson's latest place. I was not disappointed. I had the Steak Friettes. It was cooked perfectly. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for DC. I sat at the bar and got fabulous service. If you're in DC you should give this place a trySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful EverythingGummiedoVIPDined on 9/17/2014We loved our pre-Shakespeare dinner at Bernaise. The food was delicious! The corner table for the five of us was great for conversation and sharing food. The pigs feet was a yummy surprise and the duck confit was wonderful. We are looking forward to visiting again during the Shakespeare season.Special Features:
- A HitMDGeorgeVIPDined on 9/17/2014We were very impressed. Before a show at the Folger we were looking for a quality kitchen within walking distance. Having eaten at another French Restaurant only two weeks before on 14th Street, we ordered the same food to compare. Bernaise won hands down! Also, the service, often criticized in the reviews, couldn't have been better. The place is not fancy, but the price is right and the food was good. The wine list is sparse but well selected. We'll return.Special Features:
- Solid meal, decent servicePRawlinsVIPDined on 9/16/2014It was a nice lunch, service was very slow, orders took a while to be taken and then arrive. Server did not come around and check on us often. Perhaps it was because we erect seated upstairs? Usually they are very quick. Based on previous experiences I would go back, but if this was my only visit I wouldn't.Special Features:
- A Beautiful BrunchBrunchersAnonymousDined on 9/14/2014I actually found this restaurant through a TravelZoo promotion. So we got 2 entrees, bottomless mimosas, and a bread basket(which was delicious) for the table. The food was really great! However, I felt like our service was slightly different because we had the coupon (i.e., getting refills on our "bottomless mimosas" felt like pulling teeth). In the end, it still didn't take away from our dining experience too much. Great food! Great atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

"Choke on the smoke from my quill."
My problem with current mmorpgs:
- Easy. So easy that you don't need any teamwork = no need to interact with other players.
- Instances. Same crap as "outside", just more hitpoints and they hit harder.
- Fast exp. Cough and get exp - fart and get a whole level.
- There's such a rush to this 'End Game', like it's the whole point in the game. To me it's quite the opposite, I like adventuring, checking out places, crafting, learning new skills here and there. When the end game hits, I usually quit. I don't see the fun in running around endlessly same old instances in hopes of better gear, so I can then run more instances over and over again. It is just biggest waste of time and zero fun.
This is the only reason I still love Eve, even though I suck at it, die alot, rage and most of the time hate it :) - but it doesn't have those above mentioned problems. There is no end game, gear grind, exp and you aren't limited to choose 3 out of 5 professions while crafting stuff.

They invariably try to grab them all and build feature sets around them that become less polished with each new demographic they try too woo. It's a factor of time/resources I don't care if your team is 30 or 3000 you are not going to be able to design/implement from scratch systems and feature sets catering to wildly divergent play styles in a reasonable(or affordable) amount of time. The process it self gets in the way. You know you've aimed to unrealistically high when "design compromises" have more to do with deadlines than technical issues. That's just bad planning and poor goal setting.
And yes functionally wow was a better product than anything out there. Even without the mass influx they were on track to take the crown eventually, but no where near the speed that it happened with the "invasion" :D.

MMO games are mostly trash. Go look at the games list, hardly any of the games listed get a review over 9.0, about 2 or three got that score out of the all the MMO's released. Let's face it, the genre is a mess.

The only thing that's going to get you reinvested is for the industry to bring back failed game mechanics that have long been rejected by the mainstream audience. In fact, aren't you looking for the same old same old with new graphics?

They can't imagine just... not playing MMOs anymore. Stop playing all MMOs period. Heck, stop playing video games period. Go find a different hobby. Why are so many people utterly unable to do that?

I think the issue is that people don't really understand much of the technology behind the MMO. FWIW I play GW2 some. I like it some. It has some real fun aspects. I am more casual then most and have likely put less hours in then some people did in their first month..
But the game was a classic crash and burn kind of start. It was pretty much the answer to everything at first - and ended up being not the answer for most? Why?
Computers haven't changed. Sure they are faster - but they are not 'smarter.' When you are playing an MMO there are limited things they can do to make the game interesting. This is why developers fall back on the same ideas - because to a limited extent - They work.
It's the same for all aspects of gaming. Shooters are very similiar to how they have always been. So are platformers - so are so called 3d platformers. So are sports games - and so are fighting games. It's pretty much the same thing with a new coat of paint.
Really for gamers you want the games that feature the best execution of the same old ideas. This is alot more realistic then hoping for a bunch of new ideas that just don't work..
Let's take dynamic events. GW2 had some gamers CONVINCED that players could make lasting impact by triggering these events - and thus their actions 'mattered' in the gaming universe. The game would react and evolve by what the players did.. In reality they were more like escort quests you could participate in - that cycle every few minutes.
Don't get me wrong - I actually like the DEs in GW2. But its people who don't understand anything about how computers work who have unrealistic expectations. Computers are stupid - and AI sucks. The mobs in GW2 still don't know how to path right - and its 2013!
Every 'new' idea has been tried - and has usually been discarded for a reason. There are reasons why 'build your own class' systems don't work. And their are reasons why developers stick with concepts like the Holy Trinity. And there are reasons why they continue to rely on dungeons and raids. It's not some laziness - its that no one has figured out ways of improving gaming that really work.
its important to support the developers that do the best job possible of polishing and balancing using the best known game design. Hoping for the next big thing is unrealistic. They can't make a robot Vacumn cleaner that doesn't get stuck on my chair - never mind a MMO that plays like a table top rpg.
In fact when I read about a game like EQN which seems to promise everything - I am pretty certain they will deliver nothing. Last I checked SOE doesn't have a lock on all the intelligent programmers. If there were really good solutions to the current MMO problems - we would be using them. There are only tradedoffs. No roles? Kiss accessible teamwork good bye. No gear grind? Kiss long term player commitment good bye. etc etc. Dungeon finders? Kiss difficult dungeons goodbye.

Note: I am not one of those gamers that buys every bloody McMMO that comes out on a daily basis and then whines when feeling unfulfilled. I prefer to spend my time with one or two quality MMOs at a time and enjoy them for years at a time. I simply do not understand why you seem to care so much about them there "whiners".

Well, I myself started with UO when it launched back in 97' never found an MMO that gave me that same "buzz" since then. While I don't whine or complain a lot about MMO's or where they've headed. I will say after vanilla WoW it felt like MMO's started to be designed without a lot of things that made MMO's different from the RPG game you played on whatever console at that time. MMO's have been turning to a less social/community friendly path with "group/dungeon" finders for those working people who don't have the time for shouting in chat.. but what happened to socializing making friends setting maybe a schedule with these friends so you won't have to? BOOM Dungeon/Group Finder! People use "real world", "work", and "family" as reasons to why MMO's have to be beat in a day *CONGRATS YOU WON WORLD OF WARCRAFT!" But then they whine about there's nothing left to do. So dev's hear this and make "sandbox" MMO's that done hold your hands tell you where to go what to do, then those same people complain "it's stupid, there's no quests, there's no endgame!.. or "its too hard, this will fail"
Also, another large part I would say is the access to PC's. Back in the day when UO came out, not everyone and their brother had a PC, today PC's are about as common as cell phones. So a lot of the time (no offense to those of you who don't do this) you'll get the gamer, who typically plays on a console, hop on the PC fire up an MMO and go into it with the same expectations as he/she has with CoD or something. I'm sorry but to me MMO's have strayed so far from where they were. And most people that do play them still me being one, also don't spend much time in the forums for them complaining about something because I'm busy enjoying it.
Easier access to PC's now compared to when MMO's like UO came out
Younger Gamers not fully understanding MMOs aren't CoD/LoL
OKAY done sorry, lol did this on my phone at work fingers are sore

For me, there is no difference. If a game will give me 6 months of fun, I'm fine with it; if not, I'm fine with it too. Sure, it's nice to have a game which I can play for a long time, like, for example, I'm currently playing WoT - 2 years and counting, I'm still having a blast every time I log in.
But if there would be a game tomorrow that'll give me more fun, I'll switch without any negative emotions or hesitations. People talk about "investing" in the game, and hesitance to lose "the investments" - I'm not "investing" in games, I'm getting fun out of them. All my attitudes towards games are measured in fun received, not "investments made".
*shrug* Having one game giving 6 month of fun is better than giving 2 months of fun, especially if it's a F2P game, but it's a "little" better, while making such game is a lot harder; so I don't really expect them to be done with that goal in mind.

MMORPG really means something totally different than these modern day cash cows, the games in my opinion are not meant to garner our long term loyalty, their purpose is grabbing as much cash as they can before the player moves on to the next one. I really don't even think they should be allow to be called MMORPGs.

I inherited my Grandmother's house and I would like to paint the basement walls. The paint on the walls now has peeled quite a bit from a water problem that was recently corrected.
Basically the paint has peeled from the bottom of the wall up to about 3 feet. I've scraped most of the peeled paint off but from there up the paint isn't that bad. However it needs to be a different color.
The walls are concrete block covered with a concrete parging. I want to paint the walls with Drylock. Do I need to completely strip the paint? or can i get away with scraping off the loose stuff, cleaning the walls with a scrub brush and cleaning solution and painting over the old paint?
Words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

For their part, Lewis and Floorwax still believe the photo showed Fred's ball -- as does Finlay. Lee is standing by her shadow bet. (For the record, Lewis and Floorwax both wear very long shorts, she says.)
But like a good journalist, Lee is basing her opinions on more than one source. "I've seen it many times at a pool," she says of the eggs-sunnyside phenomenon.
"And I've seen them pop out of denim shorts. What's up with not wearing underwear when you're wearing short shorts? Do you not feel when air is going up your shorts?"
Or when someone's blowing smoke up your ass?
Temple may refuse to recognize it, but tight shorts or no, the boys of summer are on the loose.

This is a great carving tool for outlining the relief carvings on antique
flintlock rifle stocks. It arrived sharp, and has held its edge with only
minor stroppings along the way. It cuts cleanly cross grain on hard maple
and english walnut (so far). The length makes the tool easy to steer even
on tight turns, although I use the tool at a fairly steep angle for outlining.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Former Orange County Commissioner Mildred Fernandez has entered a plea of no contest just before the start of her trial on corruption charges.
Fernandez pleaded no contest Wednesday to a count of receipt of unlawful compensation for official behavior and seven other counts. The other counts included acceptance of illegal campaign contributions and certifying a false campaign finance report.
She faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison when she is sentenced in January.
Fernandez told the judge during her plea in court that she was being used as a political scapegoat.
Her attorney says the 66-year-old Fernandez doesn't feel she is guilty of a crime. She had considered the risks of a long prison sentence, and she decided it was better to reach a plea deal.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Serena Williams responded to the criticism she faced from Sloane Stephens by saying she is a big fan of the up-and-coming player.
In an interview with ESPN The Magazine, Stephens said her mentor-protege relationship with Williams had been overblown by the media, and that Williams essentially dropped her as a friend after losing to her at the Australian Open in January.
Following her second-round match at the Madrid Open on Tuesday, Williams was asked about Stephens' criticism.
"I'm a big Sloane Stephens fan and always have been," Williams said at a press conference after beating Lourdes Dominguez 6-2, 7-5, per the AFP.
"I've always said that I think she can be the best in the world. I'll always continue to think that and always be rooting for her.
"I really just always wish her and anyone, really, especially from America the best. We don't have that many American players, so it's always exciting to see so many young players doing so well."
Williams certainly was playing nice with Stephens. That might be because the two supposedly spoke and hashed out their problems.
Stephens tweeted to that effect:
Guilty of being naive. Much respect 4 @serenawilliams , a champ & the GOAT. We spoke, we're good. ONWARD! #lifelessons— Sloane Stephens (@sloanetweets) May 7, 2013
So Stephens came out roaring like a young lion in the interview, but she really backed off. Maybe she couldn't handle the negative publicity that came as a result of her comments.
Sloane Stevens should realize that one good win does not a career make...remember Melanie Oudin? If Sloane takes that one good win too seriously she'll end up in the same boat as Melanie. Chill, girl.
Talk about class. Serena really showed a champion with class with her response. I'm sorry that Sloane had to learn the hard way but better to learn now versus later. I like Sloane and share Serena's feelings but geez little girl you can't wear your feelings on your sleeve or worry about being liked.

Johan Bruyneel: "I'm done with cycling" - but cycling isn't done with him
Ex-USPS manager speaks ahead of next month's arbitration hearing in London
Previous News
Johan Bruyneel, manager of the US Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams on all seven of Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France victories from 1999 to 2005, has said he is finished with cycling.
The Belgian, who was reunited with Armstrong at Astana when the latter came out of retirement in 2009, both moving on to the new RadioShack team the following season, broke the news in a video interview with Luxembourg-based TV channel, RTL.
"I've made a decision that I'm pretty much done with cycling – I don't see a change," said the 49-year-old, who now lives in London, where the interview was filmed.
Cycling isn't done with Bruyneel yet, however.
In June last year the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) charged him, alongside Armstrong and others, with having "engaged in a massive doping conspiracy from 1998-2011."
In the letter setting out its charges, USADA said: "Numerous riders will testify that Mr. Bruyneel gave to them and/or encouraged them to use doping products and/or prohibited methods, including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, HGH and cortisone during the period from 1999 through 2007."
Armstrong eventually chose not to fight the charges, and was banned for life and stripped of results including those seven Tour de France victories. In January this year, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, he belatedly confessed to doping. Two doctors, Michele Ferrari and Luis Garcia del Moral, were also banned from involvement with sport for life.
Bruyneel, however, has chosen to contest the charges through arbitration, as have former team doctors Pedro Celaya and Jose Marti, with a hearing scheduled to take place in London from 16-20 December.
In its Reasoned Decision on the Armstrong case, USADA said:
The overwhelming evidence in this case is that Johan Bruyneel was intimately involved in all significant details of the U.S. Postal team's doping program. He alerted the team to the likely presence of testers. He communicated with Dr. Ferrari about his stars' doping programs. He was on top of the details for organizing blood transfusion programs before the major Tours, and he knew when athletes needed to take EPO to regenerate their blood supply after extracting blood. He was present when blood transfusions were given. He even personally provided drugs to the riders on occasion.
Most perniciously, Johan Bruyneel learned how to introduce young men to performance enhancing drugs, becoming adept at leading them down the path from newly minted professional rider to veteran drug user.
Bruyneel, sacked by RadioShack-Nissan-Trek after the Reasoned Decision was published, insisted in his interview with RTL: "I don't see myself as the devil, people are trying to picture myself and Lance as the bad guys."
The interview comes at a time when it looks likely that Armstrong will testify before the independent inquiry that Brian Cookson, elected UCI president in September, has ordered into doping.
Bruyneel told RTL that although he trusts Brian Cookson, he does not believe that cycling's culture of doping can be changed overnight.

Goodluck with your book , but unless you plan a tell ALL and every little doping detail it wont sell.
