Comments On May 31, 2015:Excellent traction. Wear a bit fast but to be expected with the soft compound. I use the tire for about 80% dirt and 20% street. Good traction all around.

Comments On Oct 24, 2014:I recently put a Geomax knobby tire after riding with this trials tire and I regret and will go back to this trials tire after 1 ride on the knob.

Comments On Jul 23, 2014:Great carcass for enduro trail riding. Stiff sidewall to reduce pinch flat. Traction is awesome everywhere.

Comments On Jul 01, 2014:The tire performance is good as far as grip but the knobbies are cracking at the base after 3 or 4 rides(150-ish miles). Its getting worse and looking like they will eventually separate. I run about 13 or 14 psi and top speed is way below what the tire is rated at so everything is within its intended use. Also seems to be wearing faster than expected. I spoke to rockymountainatvmc.com chat support and was told the cracking is normal. I will be going to a different trials tire if I get another one. Disappointed.

Comments On Jun 22, 2014:Like you read in most of the other reviews this tire does not hold up. It grips great but after 75 miles it was worn down alot and missing center knobs and the other knobs where ready to come off as well. I've never ran the Michelin, i hear they are made the same as the Dunlop. I recommend you go with the Pirelli MT43. I rode the Big Bear Run in Big Bear City, CA with my buddies. We all put new trials tires on for it, they was running the MT43 and me with the D803 and at the end ( close to 200 miles) you would have thought I rode the Baja 1000.

Comments On May 26, 2014:Great tire for Pacific Northwest riding! I'm running 6psi with Tubliss. The tire sticks to the trail and tracks straight through the rough stuff. If it starts to spin, just back off the gas and it will hook right back up. Love it.

Comments On May 22, 2014:Amazing tire! Buy one! I've been riding Knobbies all my life. These are amazing. I could crawl up hills, with ease, that a knobby would've been spinning and not making it up. These tires also absorb small roots and rocks. I'm sold.

Comments On Mar 28, 2014:This tire provides awesome traction. I like to run this tire at 8-10 PSI and it works great in almost every condition. It even works descent in sand as long as it isn't really deep. It doesn't work at all in slimy clay. it doesn't clear out but it works great on wet rocks and logs . It also lasts and lasts.

Comments On Feb 25, 2014:Awesome tire for under 30 mph tough single track. Makes an excellent woods tire, used it in the sierra foothills and it gripped in the mud, awesome on rocks, and it absorbed impacts with roots and rocks without kicking the back around. However, if you aren't riding tough nasty single track and you're going fast on easier terrain, spinning the rear tire a lot, etc, this is not the tire for you.

Comments On Jan 10, 2014:Bought this Trials tire and never looked back. Lasts twice as long as knobby tires. Excellent in Mud, Grass, Roots and especially rocks. Will not race without it.

"Church isn't where you meet. Church isn't a building. Church is what you do. Church is who you are. Church is the human outworking of the person of Jesus Christ. Let's not go to Church, let's be the Church." --Bridget Willard
Driving into downtown Charleston, you can't help but notice the church steeples towering above the city. The churches throughout the Holy City are as beautiful as they are rich in history and architectural design. What I love about Charleston is not just the number of churches but the diversity of religions represented and different architecture in each church.
After a recent trip south to Sheldon, I realized Charleston is not the only place in South Carolina in which to find historic churches. I traveled throughout the area finding churches both interesting not only in their design but also in their history. What I found was a group of churches, some still used others in ruins but all with a story to tell.

Resurgent welterweight Patrick Cote inks new four-fight deal with UFC - MMAmania.com
ongtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Patrick Cote is just a few months away from his nine-year anniversary, one that marks his first-ever appearance for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a unanimous decision loss to Tito Ortiz at 'The War of '04."
But just look at him now!
"The Predator" abandoned the 185-pound weight class to test his might at welterweight, where he was able to score a judges' nod over Strikeforce import Bobby Voelker at UFC 158 earlier this year in front of a hometown crowd. It was enough to convince the UFC brass to give the Canadian brawler a chance to make something happen in his new division.
Cote gives the 411 to Bleacher Report:
"I just signed a four-fight deal with the UFC. We've talked about my next fight, but nothing is signed, nothing has been decided. They just announced the TUF Canada vs. Australia and everybody has gone crazy on Twitter trying to help me become the coach of Team Canada. I appreciate the support from everybody, maybe it's going to help."
If Cote (19-8) can secure a coaching spot on the next International edition of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), he should have his hands full until the end of 2013.

by the way
Well, this is an absolutely perfect opportunity to demonstrate those ideas. The issues at stake here are libertarian issues. What the governor of Wisconsin is trying to destroy are the elementary rights of free association, free assembly, and control over one's own bargaining power. These are absolutely, non-negotiably first principle American, civil, and human rights. Defend them now and send a message that libertarianism is not in the pocket of the Koch brothers and the GOP. What's more, the larger issue of pensions involves essential property rights. A pension represents fairly negotiated, previously earned compensation. It is not a bonus, an extra, or a gift. It is not obtained through the largess of the employer but through the fair, just, and mutually agreed bargaining of the employee and the employer. To raid pensions, public or otherwise, is no different at all from stealing money from the bank account of an employee after you've paid him or her. Those who defend property rights have an obligation to defend pensions.
I believe in the integrity of many individual libertarians but am quite cynical about libertarianism as an entity and surely about the institutions of libertarianism. Prove me wrong. Here's the perfect issue that we've be waiting for, an economic issue where libertarians can side with the less powerful, the less moneyed, and the workers against the more powerful, the richer, and the corporate interests.

This seems a bit silly. For starters, government workers in Wisconsin are currently forced to donate a portion of their incomes to political activity that they may disagree with. The state literally deducts the sum from their paycheck and hands it over to the unions.
For another, people in Wisconsin who want a government job and want to be a part of a union (and wouldn't you, given that they're already deducting from your salary?) have only one option. If my union is screwing me over, I can't start a competing union because there is only one authorized entity that can negotiate with my employer on my behalf. Does that sound like freedom of association to you?
What you want is not collective bargaining, it's a state-imposed monopoly collective bargaining agent. That's abhorrent on all sorts of grounds, the public choice nightmare inherent in the creation of a permanent constituency of individuals who benefit from government expansion being just one of them.
I'd also be careful identifying your own labour sympathies too closely with the current demands of the state workers. Many of these folks make a hell of a lot more than most Americans, and in terms of political power (both lobbying strength and magnitude of campaign contributions) they are among the strongest in the country.
So I suspect that even from a hard-left point of view, the choice of who to side with is not as blindingly obvious as you make it out to be.

The problem is the Kochs only fund a small portion of the libertarian movement. They haven't donated to the Libertarian Party since the early 1980s. And they've never donated to the Republican Liberty Caucus.
Interestingly, libertarian Republicans were deeply involved in getting Walker elected. Yet, there's a total media blackout on that. Better to go after the big bad Kochs.
Eric Dondero, Publisher
Oh, and btw, 99% of us Libertarian activists are poor schmucks who don't get a nickel from the Kochs. But you never hear about that.

Yes, and I honestly don't understand how the Koch brothers turned into giant bogeymen for the left. You know that the amount of money they spend is utterly dwarfed by the amount spent by... say... AFSCME, right?
But whatever dude, I'll bear your dire warnings in mind the next time I'm reading Radley Balko's evil Koch-funded oil-company-profit-boosting investigative reporting on police brutality.

On what the Kochs fund, I am proceeding correctly, you incorrectly. I am indicating an individual issue where the Kochs have donated an incredible amount of resources, and I am responding to it.
As for money going to political causes, you really don't think that corporate interests are capturing more profits from workers than they otherwise would in a better labor market? Say, the kind of labor market established by powerful unions? And do you really not believe that corporate interests are using that capture income for political purposes contrary to the interests of those workers?
As for the larger issues here, the right and the neoliberals have steadily and deliberately undermined the ability of ordinary Americans to make more money. Period. The ability of Americans to improve the material conditions of their lives has been totally undercut by more and more resources flowing to those at the top. So: what are you going to do about it?
As for more general questions about my political beliefs, read this. There is literally not one word that I disagree with, besides my lack of belief in God.

By the way-- you'll note that neither of you have actually attempted to disagree with the fundamental liberties involved in collective bargaining.
This country used to laugh at authoritarian states like South Africa when the banned unions.

Freddie, you aren't replying to my points. I'm not super emotionally involved in this, so whatever, but if you want to know why I'm helping out Gov. Walker, it's all there in my first comment.

You aren't replying to my points: do you believe in the right to freely assemble? To freely associate? To control your own labor power? Those are foundational American rights. Do you support them?

I don't support the governor of Wisconsin's plan. I don't even have enough information to determine what stance to take here, except a general intuition which tells me that whatever the Tea-Party backed people want to do is probably a bad idea.
But I don't really follow how you have concluded Libertarians should be against their plan. It seems to me that the Governor's plan is a perfectly Libertarian plan, and its flaws are the flaws of the Libertarian philosophy itself, Koch brothers or no.
You write: "The governor of Wisconsin is trying to destroy...and control over one's own bargaining power."
I don't understand that. He is not trying to destroy the bargaining power of the individual, only the collective bargaining power.
Now, you might say the individual's power is not adequate, and that therefore collective power is necessary to ensure workers a fair deal. Well, that might well be true, but there is nothing remotely libertarian about that fact.
There might be, as you say, some economic issue where Libertarians can "side with the less powerful", but this seems like it isn't it at all.

If every individual member of the union controls his or her own labor power, then together, they are bargaining with their individual right to choose.
- February 19, 2011 at 2:11 PM
Well, as a classical liberal, I wholly support free association, and am concerned with only two things when it comes to union legislation: that 1) unions not be allowed to make political donations unless the membership has either a) approved political donations in a organization-wide vote or b) has individually indicated approval.
2) that there be no closed shops.
Insofar as the issue doesn't concern either of the two above, I approve of free association to the full extent of their power. My support is, however, somewhat tempered if the Wisconsin public unions enforce closed shop.
- February 19, 2011 at 6:17 PM
As for money going to political causes, you really don't think that corporate interests are capturing more profits from workers than they otherwise would in a better labor market?
What? The basic principle here is that unions are basically a representative agent for its members in the workplace. The union might do other things, but this is the most basic.
Insofar as political contributions go, what is needed is simply for its members to unequivocally state that they do authorize this representative agent not only to act for them in the workplace, but also in politics.
This isn't about how well the corporations or whatever are doing; this is simply the basics of autonomy and delegation.

Closed shop has pretty much been illegal since 1947.
- February 19, 2011 at 6:26 PM
OK the 6:24 PM Anonymous post was mine. Forgot to sign it.
The thing is, I obviously support collective bargaining (for benefits, etc. as well as for wages). So to the extent that Wisconsins are advocating collective bargaining rights I support them in their actions, and to the extent the Wisconsin governor is removing collective bargaining rights I oppose him.
That being said, it's pretty much impossible to full-throatedly get behind public-sector unions, because they are political actors and will have to be partially judged as political actors. I can actually support 100% union coverage so long as what some call paycheque protection is enacted (and no, this isn't some strategem to dismantle the power of the unions, I just think there's a basic agency problem here that is actually quite important. The idea of your employment representative being empowered to act for you, unless so authorized, in political advocacy is antithetical to the very idea of human autonomy.)
- February 19, 2011 at 6:43 PM
It's time to face facts; the public sector unions are done in every cash-strapped state that isn't entirely owned by the Democrats that are under their thumb.
It doesn't matter why, or whether that's a good or bad thing - it's just happening and we just have to deal with that. It's PATCO v. Reagan, and since there's no more money, the unions will lose. There are literally millions in the Reserve Army of Unemployed who would be HAPPY to take their jobs for a fraction of their pay and benefits. They will strike, get fired, and be easily replaced. That's what happens when wages are well above the clearing level.
If you can see that end-state clearly, then what's the point of whining about it? Might as well preemptively cozy up to the winners in that power struggle hoping to ingratiate yourselves. All your friends at the Atlantic already have - Ha!
- February 19, 2011 at 8:38 PM
To Will you said "You aren't replying to my points: do you believe in the right to freely assemble? To freely associate? To control your own labor power?"
But Will did reply to this. In short: what WI is going to lose isn't "the right to freely assemble". He said that collective bargaining does not supply government employees with the right to free assembly because it forces them to donate to a political organization and provides them with a state imposed monopoly collective bargaining agent. Is his characterization incorrect? Or does it not matter? In any case it seems he's provided you with an argument that you haven't addresses.

It's always seemed to me that the "libertarian" encompasses two very different movements, and tossing them under one title has ripped the movement and philosophy in two.
On one hand, you have anarcho-capitalism, which to me is the idea that we should replace governmental overlords with corporate/financial ones.
On the other hand, you have a group of people who reject corporate/financial overlords, too, and recognize that simply because someone isn't collecting a government paycheck doesn't mean they avoid the title of "tyrant."
The failure of these groups to distinguish themselves from one another means you end up having Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich, Robert Anton Wilson, Objectivists, anarchists, etc., all claiming the same tag…. Very uncomfortably.
Anyway… Thanks for this. I appreciate the definition you're espousing here.

Myles- the unions have agreed to the financial concessions. Walker has not budged on the bargaining.
- February 20, 2011 at 12:29 AM
Heh. Looks like the libertarian contingent still performs **exactly** as expected. Will Wilson: Simply AWESOME duckspeak, brother!! That line about the effrontery of state workers making more than, say, Wal-Mart shelf stockers **never** gets old!!!
So, fuck the libertarian cant. That state employees are protesting is distinctly tertiary, here. This Wisconsin action is entirely about breaking the (now almost entirely atrophied) tradition of ordinary people banding together for their common welfare. The big mistake of the public employee unions is that they let it come to this, that decades ago they didn't do more to help organize their private sector brothers and sisters. Now we're left with last-ditch actions.
There is, of course, a reason why Republicans (who, let's be honest here, REALLY ARE functionally equivalent to libertarians) harp on public employee benefits. It's really true that these employees enjoy benefits and protections better than most workers, now. Funny how we **never** hear Republicans/libertarians argue for **better** working conditions in the private sector. Instead, it's always the appeal to resentment. Of course it's pure coincidence that this aligns perfectly with the interests and desires of the owning class.
By the way, I thought the
libertarian man-children were going to colonize New Hampshire by now, set up their 17th Century utopia there. Whatever happened to that scheme? Not enough corporate subsidies, I imagine. Still, I thought you ubermenschen had a little more gumption...

Union shops are legal. The difference being that you don't have to be a member of a union to be hired, but once you are hired, you're forced to join.
The distinction for this discussion is minimal.

Since the homepage is now static and doesn't display personalized content, it can be cached indefinitely. Google chose to politely ask your browser to cache it for 1,209,600 seconds = 14 days.

Rain Drum Court
Cedar River Watershed
19901 Cedar Falls Road S.E., North Bend, Wash.
Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art
The Cedar River Watershed Education Center's Rain Drum Court uses the natural resource that feeds the watershed, rain, to activate the artwork. The exterior court encircled by vine maples includes 21 painted drums, representative of different cultures, and a few scattered artifacts from towns that once were located inside the watershed boundaries. During rainfall, the water collects on the maples' leaves and drips to sound the rain drums. When it is dry, a computer activates nozzles that drip water in pre-programmed rhythms of various cultures, including Native American, African-American and Balinese. At other times, the dripping water mimics the sound of rainfall. The artwork reinforces the mission of SPU's Watershed Education Center, which is to educate youth and adults alike about the environmental and cultural history of the Cedar River Watershed.

The Swamp

- This article is about the episode. For the location, see Foggy Swamp.
"In the swamp, we see visions of people we've lost, people we've loved, folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to them. Time is an illusion and so is death."
|"The Swamp"
|Episode guide
|Image gallery (31)
While flying, Aang and friends are attracted to a mysterious swamp and get separated from one another. They begin to see unique illusions in the swamp: Sokka sees Princess Yue, Katara sees her dead mother and Aang sees a mysterious giggling girl. They are reunited and attacked by a swamp monster, who turns out to be a wise man from a tribe of swamp waterbenders. He explains the nature of the swamp and their visions, including that the girl is someone Aang will meet. Meanwhile, Zuko and Iroh are forced to live life as commoners. Disguised, Zuko resorts to using his Blue Spirit guise to help himself.
The episode opens with Zuko and Iroh begging for money in a village street. Zuko refuses to grovel, trying to keep what dignity he has left, while Iroh has more willingly accepted their new lot in life. A swordsman approaches Iroh and has him sing for a gold coin. As Iroh sings, the swordsman swings his blades at Iroh's feet to have him "dance". As the swordsman leaves, Zuko is angered and humiliated by his uncle's degradation.
Meanwhile, Aang, Katara, and Sokka are seeking an earthbending teacher for Aang as they fly over a swamp. Aang feels the swamp is calling to him, but, due to the reluctance of his friends, agrees to leave. Suddenly, a tornado appears, swallowing everyone into the swamp. Aang uses airbending to make a sphere of air as a shield around Appa, but the tornado overwhelms and dispels the sphere, pulling everyone into the windstorm. This separates humans and animals into two separate groups.
The human group begins looking for Momo and Appa. Aang and Katara are wary of the environment, sensing something ominous about it. Sokka uses his machete to hack through the swamp vegetation, clearing a path. He becomes annoyed at his sister and friend's warnings, stating there is nothing out of the ordinary about the place.
Momo and Appa, the two animals, are also looking for the other members of their group. Unknown to the flying bison and winged lemur, natives of the swamp are hunting them for dinner.
Aang, Katara, and Sokka make camp for the night. While they are asleep, a swamp monster attacks them, which ends in a further separation of the group. Alone in the swamp, each person experiences a vision of another person. Katara sees her mother, and momentarily believes she has returned. However, after joyfully running over to meet her, her vision is revealed to be an ordinary stump to which Katara gasps in disbelief and breaks down into tears. Sokka envisions Yue in spirit form, who says hauntingly to him, "You didn't protect me." Sokka refuses to believe what he witnesses, clinging to the belief that there's a logical explanation. Aang spots a young laughing girl and a flying boar in the swamp, the girl of whom he does not recognize. He calls out to her, but she runs away. Aang begins to chase after her.
The two animals are confronted by the swamp-dwelling hunters Tho, Due, and their brethren in canoes. Tho attempts to coax the animals toward him, but is unaware they understand his human speech, and accidentally mentions that they will become food once captured. Appa and Momo flee as a result. Due shouts angrily at Tho for his ignorance; Tho defends himself by asking how he was to know about the animals' intelligence. To catch up with Appa and Momo, Tho begins bending the water around his canoe, causing it to speed forward rapidly.
Aang is still seen chasing the girl. Eventually, when he thinks he corners her, the vision of the stranger disappears with Katara in her place. Sokka drops in, literally, and they all confess their encounters. Aang and Katara wonder about the mysterious workings of the swamp, but Sokka continues to insist nothing is out of the ordinary until a giant swamp monster attacks them. It manages to grab Sokka and swing and slam him against the river. Aang frees Sokka by sending an air blade toward it, but the monster attacks him. The swamp monster subsequently grabs Sokka again and tries to surf away, but its arm is damaged by Katara's waterbending. It still holds onto Sokka, even after Katara forcibly pushes it away with a large wave. Katara is subsequently pushed back along with Aang, who had come back. From twisting and tangling its body with a tornado to Katara creating a big hole with a water drill or slinging an array of water blades, it does not seem affected, instead replacing its armor of vines. Yet with each cut, they see a man inside the monster, and one more water blade from Katara through the "head" forces the man to give up.
They demand to know who the waterbender is, but the mysterious figure wishes, in turn, to know why the three are in the swamp. Sokka reveals that Aang is the Avatar and that "stuff like this happens to [them] a lot." Understanding that the swamp chose them, the bender reveals his name: Huu. He reveals the reason he attacked them was that he was protecting the swamp which Sokka was harming. He takes the three friends to the roots of an enormous tree, the heart of the swamp. Huu's story reveals that he achieved enlightenment under this tree, and saw how the entire swamp is the roots of the single tree spreading for miles. He says that everything is connected, how time and death are only illusions, and that the swamp manifests visions of deceased loved ones to show how they are still present spiritually. Aang asks about the girl he saw, stating it was no one he knew, but eventually figures out that the girl is someone he will meet in the near future. Aang touches the tree, connecting to the swamp. Far away, he sees Appa and Momo being chased. Aang, Katara, and Sokka promptly rush to the animals' aid. When they finally arrive, Aang and Katara use waterbending against Due and Tho, but the swamp-dwellers use waterbending themselves. Upon this discovery, the fighting stops. Tho and Due unite with Huu, who had followed the gang, showing the waterbenders know each other.
The scene switches to Aang, Katara, and Sokka sitting around a fire in the swamp-dwellers' camp. Aang and Katara continue to wonder about the swamp, but Sokka is steadfast that there is nothing out of the ordinary. The next moment shows a bird perched on a root; a vine rises from the ground and lashes out at the bird, making it take off.
The last scene shows the swordsman, who mistreated Iroh and Zuko, in a dark alleyway. He senses someone there and pulls out his blades, demanding that the person show their self. Two hands grab his wrist, making him release the blades, and he is thrown into a stack of crates. The mysterious attacker is revealed to be the Blue Spirit.

Series continuity
- Back in the "The Blue Spirit", Momo found an assortment of trinkets for the ill Katara and Sokka, including an old crown for Katara. That crown makes a comeback in this episode when Momo throws it at the waterbenders chasing them, while he and Appa tried to escape from the swamp-dwellers.
- When Sokka yelled out, "Why do things keep attaching to me?" while pulling off the elbow leech stuck to his arm, he was referring to the purple pentapuses that stuck to his face in the previous episode, "Return to Omashu".
- When Sokka asks Huu about the tornado, Huu responds by saying, "I can't do anything like that; I just bend the water in the plants." This introduces the idea of plantbending and foreshadows the concept of bloodbending, seen later in "The Puppetmaster".
- This is the first time we see Katara and Sokka's mother, albeit from behind and as a vision. She makes her first real appearance in "The Southern Raiders", though only as a flashback.
- This is Toph's first appearance on the show, namely, as an eerie vision seen only by Aang. She is formally introduced in "The Blind Bandit".
- While Zuko and Iroh are sitting on the street begging, a man is seen approaching from their right carrying buckets, but he disappears when a side shot is shown, as does the cart that previously passed.
- When Iroh first sings to the man on the street his hat is on the ground by his feet, but when the man starts hitting the ground with his swords to make Iroh dance, the hat disappears.
- After capturing Momo and Appa, Tho is singing a song and tapping his arm on the boat, and right when he finishes his verse, his arm and Momo disappear.
- While Aang touches the root of the banyan-grove tree to locate Appa and Momo, only the tattoo on his right hand glows, while the tattoo on his head does not.
- The mask cart that passes Iroh and Zuko in the opening scene bears the same blue oni mask that Zuko uses for his Blue Spirit alter ego. When the mask is seen, we can hear the Blue Spirit's leitmotiv. This foreshadows the ending of the episode, in which Zuko has reassumed its identity.
- Zuko gets himself new broadswords in this episode from the swordsman, who forced Iroh to dance for a gold piece.
- Huu gaining enlightenment under the Banyan tree is similar to the Buddha's enlightenment.
- In "The Swamp" with "Avatar Extras" bonus commentary, the plantbenders' pet alligator "Slim" was revealed to be named after one of the creator's two dogs.
- The song Iroh sings at the beginning sounds strikingly similar to the song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary".
- The swamp seems, mostly when shown from above, similar to the Toxic Jungle from Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Really no compromise can be made. PvE only server would not be the same game.

My thought still stands that with some sort of consentual pvp server / setup DF would probably pick up many players. It doesnt even have to be a straight PvE server but one with guild / alliance wars and seiges. Would keep the ganking to a minimum but offer plenty of PvP to those that want it.. Meh. Dont care one way or the other.

No. Having been in UO pre Trammel, the ganking and griefing was getting way out of hand. Lots of people leaving, really forced their hand. Absent Trammel, I doubt UO would still be in operation. The modern western audience has changed. The majority will not tolerate a game that allows (let alone encourages) ganking and griefing. That in and of itself, limits such a game to a niche market.
Originally posted by Wraithone
If you place any credence in online data, then the actual numbers were increasing throughout the pre Tram era, at a steady rate. There is no evidence (outside of anecdotal that is) to presume that the game would have died off had Tram not happened. Moreoever, there were other steps to take to reduce rampant pking, other than completely splitting the community. Tram was akin to using a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
You will also note that regardless as to whether Tram had occured or not, the game would have been considered "niche" for many, many a year now anyway. Unless we are saying 2D isometric sandboxes are de rigueur in the mmo world?
I am not suggesting that the game wouldn't have had to be "altered" over time, or that ffa pvp would ever be mainstream. Nor am I suggesting that you never saw people leave. But to suggest that without Tram, UO would have died off years ago is pure conjecture.

You make some good points. I agree that both positions are only speculation at this late date, and that I have an inherent bias, that may be coloring my analysis. Looking back on my experiences, I had a number of contacts/friends that left because of it. I've also heard the same from others. But attempting to over generalize from that, would indeed be a mistake.

MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities.
Originally posted by ICEBLUE
My sentiments exactly, Ice. Unfortunately, with a tiny--relatively unskilled--dev team like AV, I think we are setting the bar too high when we assume UW will be even half of what they are claiming it will be.
Originally posted by indiramourn
If they were unskilled they wouldn't have been able to make the first MMO engine capable of full real time combat without zones or instances... and the past 3 expansions they've released have all had what they said it'd have, so... chances are good.

Please post what you do not think AV will acheive in DF:UW. As stated by DavisFlight AV created a top class engine that handled massive sieges and a whole world without instances from scratch. That is not possible with "relatively unskilled" programmers, you need excellent skill to achieve that.
Originally posted by 123443211234
It did fail based on what they could have achieved. I am certain that a huge percentage of the people whoe tried DF, have quit. That is a massive failure. When you are in development for as long as DF was and had been released for as long as it is, then the developers decide to scrap their original and create a new game because of how many flaws and mistakes they made, that is a failure. I fail from time to time at things, I don't die from my mistakes, but that doesn't mean they weren't failures. Understand?
It's a niche game and a failure because it could be so much more. I personally believe the PvE server idea is a bag one. However, one of the main reasons that DF is a falure is because they are focusing too much on PvP. Games like UO and SWG survives and thrived because they were more of an open world fantasy simulator than a large PvP arena. THeir focus was allowing all play styles to exist and succeed in their game. They understood that PvP is going to happen, no matter thhe penalty. DF embraces and caters to people being jackasses and ruining the gaming experience of others, and that's why you'll never have a healthy playerbase similar to other games out there. It's not because it's 'niche', or because it's a sandbox. It's because they are focusing on the wrong aspect of the game.
It's always been like that and it likely always will. And for that reason, DF will never be as good as it could be.

People like you only see the world in black and white.
Nice credentials. But I've been playing sandbox MMO's since Ultima Online. And I actually say it would work based on past experiences and successes.
I've also played DF.
You have item durability and everyone can craft anything that they want. You will still lose your items from PvE encounters from time to time as well. So while the rapid change of hands will not be as significant when in comes to your gear, there will still be ways to lose them. In order to make the ocean forts and villages useful, you put a bunch of NPC's in there and turn it into a clan raid spot for resources and loot. You wouldn't need to change much at all. It would likely bring a ton of people to the game and it wouldn't affect any of the current players because it would be on a separate PvE server.
Originally posted by DAS1337
It would take precious development time and money away from the main version of the game, and it just wouldn't be very good. People would get bored pretty quickly once they've gotten good enough to kill the highest level mobs. And without any kind of PvP nothing stops players from just zerging every encounter. There would be no way to stop people from griefing by blocking things off.
So many aspects of the game would have to be rewritten to make it viable, and that's time that the loyal current Darkfall players wouldn't be getting any content or patches.
Originally posted by googie23
Please explain your brilliant idea.
By turning off damage to other players, you eliminate PvP altogether. There is no way around not being able to do damage to other players. That change is pretty final. Sure, could you train mobs into people? Absolutely. That isn't really PvP. That has been in MMO's since the beginning of MMO's.
Originally posted by DAS1337
Those two games also had huge teams of experienced developers with big budgets behind them. Darkfall did not.
And a large percentage of people quit EVERY MMO.
I'd hardly call Darkfall a failure considering it made enough profit to raise a second server and hire 30 new devs. You don't do that when you're a "failure".
Originally posted by DavisFlight
Like what? Don't just make a statement and not explain it. What part of the game would need re-written? Again, other than the PvP structures in certain parts of the world. Making the game PvE would take very little time. And yes, you are right, people would get bored. Kind of like how they are now, only running around and killing each other because there is nothing to do. Which is the whole point of a sandbox, to have the tools to do as you wish. They focus on PvP and end up getting a PvE arena, what a surprise. Instead of focusing on altername play styles and sandbox features to create more potential content for the players.
But really, are you using that as an axcuse? The fact that people get bored? Name an MMO where you have never been bored. You can't.
Originally posted by DAS1337
Uhh... the part I just explained above.
And yeah, being bad is a pretty good excuse not to do something. AV is such a small studio they can barely manage one game, much less two. It would make BOTH products suffer from lack of focus and resources. Don't bother doing something if you're going to half ass it.
Originally posted by DavisFlight
Holy cows batman! DF has TWO servers and less than ten thousand active subscriptions and it's not a failure? Are you as ignorant as you appear to be? First off, I said Darkfall is a failure based on what it COULD have achieved. Reading comprehension FTL I guess. Darkfall, if designed correctly, could have hundreds of thousands of players currently. And what part of deciding that your game cannot be fixed because you failed making it the first time is not a failure to you? No crap, a large percentage of people quit every MMO. My point, which clearly eluded your stunning intellect, was that, that percentage is likely larger than most games. Not only that, when you are a NICHE game and you can't draw in NICHE fans, don't you see a problem in that? Wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that there is a failure somewhere down the line when you can't bring in fans of the genre that you made a MMO for? No?
It's so mind-boggling as to how DF supporters can continue to defend their game and the company who made it years after launch, AND after the company itself admits to it's own FAILURE. I mean, really dude? Take off the blinders and call it for what it is. DF:UW will do little in the way of bringing new players to the game in the end. It will keep existing players happy, and perhaps a few more subs will be made.
They get kudos for actually admitting to their failures and taking a huge risk to fix some of their mistakes. I do not give kudos to people who can't face facts when they are being smacked in the face over and over with it.
Originally posted by DavisFlight
You didn't explain anything. You said people would zerg encounters. Okay, make the encounters harder? It doesn't take much talent to adjust statistics on NPC mobs. Man, that was easy to fix your huge problem. Didn't expect that did you? Weird.

Breastfeeding may be natural. But that doesn't mean it's always easy. In today's complicated world, support and planning are essential for long-term success, and the conversation about how a woman plans to nourish her child ideally starts during pregnancy.
"Everybody has to make the best choice for them, but I do tell women early about the benefits," says Trident Health Ob-Gyn Dr. Cyndi T. Lawton.
During her residency, Dr. Lawton created an educational video and other materials used to teach expectant women about breastfeeding and the advantages it offers both moms and babies.
In her own practice with Carolina Women's Care in Summerville, she talks about breastfeeding at several points during a woman's schedule of prenatal visits. Dr. Lawton wants moms to know the basics, such as effective ways to hold a baby while nursing, and to consider long-term questions, for example, how a woman can continue to provide her baby with breast milk after returning to the workplace. "I like for women to have a lot of those things thought out beforehand."
It helps if women take advantage of Trident Health's breastfeeding education classes as well as other support services, which include lactation consultants at both Summerville Medical Center and Trident Medical Center. A lactation consultant coaches breastfeeding moms in the hospital, helping to resolve any roadblocks, and can assist women who need extra help after getting home on an out-patient basis.
To facilitate early bonding and breastfeeding success, Trident Health encourages skin-to-skin contact between mother and child immediately after delivery at its hospitals. That can happen even before the umbilical cord is cut.
Dr. Lawton says she personally benefited from the support offered at Summerville Medical Center when her second child was born two months early due to preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. In spite of the challenges she faced, she was able to feed him exclusively with breast milk until it was time to introduce solid foods, just as she did with her first child, who was also born premature when they lived in North Carolina. She believes breast milk is especially beneficial for preemies because it provides important antibodies to help them stay healthy.
"In the end, the goal is healthy babies and healthy moms," she says.
The World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other health organizations all advocate breast milk exclusively for a baby's best start in life, Dr. Lawton says. "There's no controversy or doubt there."
Breast milk is thought to be better for baby's digestion while also helping to prevent ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia and other infections. Research also suggests that breast milk may protect against obesity, diabetes, sudden infant death syndrome, asthma, eczema, colitis and some cancers.
Breastfeeding also promotes good health for moms by facilitating the release of hormones that promote mothering behavior, delaying menstruation, burning calories to help with weight loss, reducing risks of ovarian and breast cancer and keeping a woman's bones stronger for the long haul.

The story of Ovation guitars—and the groundbreaking technology behind them—begins with Charles H. Kaman, an aeronautical engineer known for his pioneering work in helicopter and aerospace design.
In 1945, Charles Kaman founded Kaman Aircraft, and in 1947 his company developed a radical helicopter that used inter-meshing rotors and Kaman's patented servo-flap control. Through intense research and development, Kaman's engineers made discoveries about the physics of vibration and acoustics—critical factors in the design and fabrication of helicopter rotor blades and other components exposed to high vibrational stress. After achieving many aviation firsts and setting world records with his helicopters, Charles Kaman—himself a dedicated guitar enthusiast—decided his aerospace division should apply its technology and know-how to the centuries-old art of guitar making.

Jones County chair Sheila Parker said the countywide effort yielded over $6,200 last year, and that placed them third in the state for volunteer departments. Parker said this year's collection points would be the intersection between Ingles Supermarket and Flash Foods in Gray and Highway 49 and Joycliff Road.
She said the county department decided to start the collection last year when they found out from MDA that no one in the area would be collecting.
"We got the departments together, and they were ecstatic. We are doing it as a countywide effort," she said.
Parker said, when they were in the road collecting last year on Highway 49, many people would stop to talk to them. The Gray Highway collection point in 2012 was at the Joycliff Road intersection, but the decision was made to move it to Gray.
"We will have a tent and fire trucks in the Ingles parking lot. We are more than happy to talk to people if they want to stop," she said.

You know, the guy that did "Fright Night" and "Child's Play".
I'm sad this will be the first post about the topic, because I'm actually really excited about it. Probably even more excited then when I found out IT was being adapted into two movies. This is probably due to the fact that, in my opinion, series and movies based on King's short stories turn out better then his novels (because there is so much to cover from the novels). Also, this was my first story that I read from Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and I still remember where I was (A Holiday Inn in Myrtle Beach, SC). It was a fantastic story, but I was hoping for a sequel, because it was just that great. Maybe what happened with Children of the Corn will happen to Ten O' Clock People (although the Children of the Corn movies weren't the greatest).
Once again, happy to be back.

Keeping your child healthy is a top priority as a parent. Giving children the proper nutrition can help them stay healthy and develop physically and mentally.
As a new parent, one of the first choices you'll have to make is deciding whether to give your baby breast milk or formula. Before you make your decision, make sure that you've done your homework and that your decision is based on how to best get the proper nutrition to your baby.
The current recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics is that babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months. Breastfeeding should continue even after the introduction of solid foods around the six month mark and at least through the first year.
Your breast milk is a great source of nutrition for your infant. It is easily digested and contains vitamins, minerals and antibodies that can support your baby's healthy growth and a strong immune system.
In some cases mothers choose not to breastfeed, are unable to breastfeed or they need to supplement a low supply of breast milk with formula. Formula feeding can be just as comforting and nutritious for your baby if you follow a few simple guidelines.
Knowing what to feed your baby and when can be a puzzling topic for parents. Some babies are satisfied up to six months with simply breast milk or formula while others show signs of readiness near four months. Discuss the milestone of introducing solid foods with your child's pediatrician and watch your child for signs of readiness.
During the first four months of your child's life, breast milk or formula should be a sufficient source of nutrition and there isn't much need for water, juice or solid foods. In fact, introducing any of these can affect your baby's digestion and negate the nutrition being delivered though breast milk or formula. While some babies may be ready for solid foods as early as four months, try not to rush this step. Look for these signs of readiness:
Whether your baby is ready at four months, six months or somewhere in between, it is recommended that your baby's first food be a single-grain, iron-fortified baby cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. Again, consult your child's pediatrician and decide together what the best beginner food is for your baby and when to try the first taste.
Once your baby has been introduced to solid foods and gets the hang of baby cereal, you can begin to move on to a vegetable or fruit puree. Anytime you introduce a new food to your baby, be on the lookout for signs of a food allergy, especially if food allergies run in your family. As a precaution, avoid foods that commonly cause reactions, like eggs, nuts, and fish or shellfish until after the one year mark or after talking to your child's pediatrician. Possible signs of allergic reactions include rash, bloating, an increase in intestinal gas, or diarrhea or fussiness after eating. Introduce new foods one at a time and allow at least two to three days between new foods to check for signs of allergies.
You may choose to prepare your own baby food or buy prepared baby food. Either option can be equally nutritious for your growing child. If you choose to buy prepared food, choose a brand without added fillers or sugars to ensure that your baby is receiving the maximum nutrition at each meal. If preparing your baby's food, it's up to you to make sure that the food is prepared safely.
Around the one year mark, your child's pediatrician may also suggest the addition of water and whole milk to your child's diet along with the weaning of the bottle. As your baby improves his or her hand-eye coordination you may be able to begin offering finger foods. These finger foods should be easily gummed or mashed or be able to melt in your baby's mouth.
Your child's diet now looks much different than it did a year ago. By now your child may be comfortable drinking whole milk or water from a cup, and may not even miss that old bottle. As your baby moves away from purees and onto more solid finger foods, keep a few things in mind to avoid choking and to ensure maximum nutrition.
Your growing child depends on you for nutrition in one way or another throughout the first few years. Make informed decisions and offer your baby safe and healthy options at each meal to make sure that you're doing your part to raise a strong and healthy child.

Untethered jailbreak your iPhone 4S, new iPad and more with Absinthe 2.0 for iOS 5.1.1
Absinthe 2.0 has launched and it provides support for a fully unthethered jailbreak under iOS 5.1.1 (and only iOS 5.1.1) for the following devices:
- iPad, iPad 2, new iPad (except the 2012 iPad 2, which will come later)
- iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S
- iPod touch 3, iPod touch 4
Developed by a collaborative "Dream Team" between Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Team, Absinthe 2.0 and promises to be so easy, your "grandma could do it." Here are the steps:
Make a backup of your device in iTunes by right clicking on your device name under the 'Devices' menu and click 'Back Up'.
Once your backup is complete return to your device and go to Settings – General – Reset – Erase all Content and Settings. This will make the jailbreak process much faster.
Open Absinthe and be sure you are still connected via USB cable to your computer.
Click 'Jailbreak' and wait…. just be patient and do not disconnect your device.
Once jailbroken return to iTunes and restore your backup from earlier. Right click on your device name under the 'Devices' menu in the left panel of iTunes and click 'Restore from Back Up…' then select the latest backup you created before. (restoring this backup will return all the content previously on your device ie, apps, photos, etc.)
You can grab the download via the source link below, and if you need any help, jump right into our Jailbreak Forum.

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS – 25th May 2012 – Today @pod2g and the @ChronicDevTeam announced the highly anticipated release of Absinthe 2.0 at #HITB2012AMS held at the Okura Hotel in Amsterdam.
Known as the "iOS Jailbreak Dream Team", @p0sixninja, @pod2g, @planetbeing, @pimskeks released the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 on the final day of the week-long conference. Echoing Steve Jobs' trademark WWDC encore of '… and one more thing', the team announced the release of Absinthe 2.0 during the closing minutes of their 2 hours talk at the conference.
Absinthe 2.0 will affect the majority of Apple devices running iOS 5.1.1 including iPad 1,1 – 2,1 – 2,2 – 2,3 – 3,1 – 3,2 – 3,3, the iPhone 2,1 – 3,1 – 3,3 – 4,1 and iPod 3,1 – 4,1. The jailbreak does not support the third generation Apple TV and support for iPad 2,4 will be added at a later date.
The team announced that the new Absinthe 2.0 will be available immediately for download from the official ChronicDevTeam website: http://greenpois0n.com The release announcement came after recent rife speculation spreading through online social networks on the actual release date and scope of Absinthe 2.0. The jailbreak community's interest was first piqued when the team announced they were scheduled to appear at HITBSecConf2012 – Amsterdam to deliver not one but two talks covering both the Corona (A4) and Absinthe (A5) jailbreaks for Apple devices. On the 20th of May, a tweet from team member @pod2g stating the release of Absinthe 2.0 was 'in a matter of days' led to further speculation that the final release would be made at HITBSecConf which ran from 21 – 25 May.
"We want to take this opportunity to thank Hack in the Box for giving us the chance to all get together for the first time, especially in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, it has been a great delight for us to announce our next release at this event. Thank you to all our supporters and keep jailbreaking!! "
"This was certainly one of the most highly anticipated talks we've EVER had at one of our HITB conferences, and we've done quite a few of these. The excitement from the Dream Team followers and overall Twitter and online buzz has been terrific!", said Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran, Founder and CEO of Hack In The Box.
"It was truly an honor to host the Dream Team in their first ever 'real world' meet up and we would like to thank them for taking the time and effort to make the trip over to not only join us at our third European outing, but to help kick-start our celebration of '10 years of HITB awesomeness' with the release of Absinthe 2.0!", he added.
HITBSecConf2012 – Malaysia (#HITB2012KUL) marks our 10th annual event in Asia and runs from October 8th till 11th at the Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur featuring 42 of HITB's best speakers of the decade in one massive event. Registration is already open: http://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2012kul/
About iOS Jailbreak Dream Team: The group is made up of members from the Chronic-Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team and consists of @MuscleNerd @pod2g @planetbeing @p0sixninja @pimskeks.
About iOS jailbreaking: iOS jailbreaking, or simply jailbreaking, is the process of removing the limitations imposed by Apple on devices running the iOS operating system through use of custom security exploits. Jailbreaking allows users to gain elevated access to the operating system. Consequently it also allows users to download additional applications, extensions and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store.

Untethered jailbreak your iPhone 4S, new iPad and more with Absinthe 2.0 for iOS 5.1.1
Um I think you missed a step, so sounds like the very first step should be to update your device with the latest iOS update correct? Then there is the last unmentioned step of trying to get your phone back to the way you had it with all of the jailbreak tweaks. Should probablly offer the best solutions for how to do this easily, and add that as also another step before you update the iOS.
Doesn't work. Gave up after 10 attempts, including a wipe and start fresh.
I was having issues with my Ipad 2 and iPhone 4s using Windows 7. I got it working, what I did was:
I downloaded the file,
extracted the zip absinthe-win-2.0 file. (when I did that it opened up a .cmd window and flew through it loading files.)
when that got finished it made a new folder with the absinthe.exe file with the data file and changelog.
I ran the absinthe.exe under administrator (right clicking on file and clicking run as admin.)
I clicked jailbreak and it worked for me...
I figured the issue was the was I downloaded and extracted the file. hope this helps. GL all! -J
Over the Air. Updating just using your phone and not itunes.
It worked on my iPhone 4S quick and flawlessly. However, not so much on my iPad 3 GSM. Currently running OS X Lion. Since I have dual boot Windows 7, I'll be giving Windows 7 a shot with my iPad 3
Jailbrea king I slegal.
I never JB the first just because of the server stress on Cydia. Learned a long time ago to hold off a few days and let the congestion calm down some.

Here's what I had to do to get it work on the New iPad (Wifi) using a Mac.
Did fresh restore to 5.1.1, activated the device (went thru set up as a new device and not restore to backup), run Absinthe 2.0
I had initially tried it on Win7 but it wasn't working at all. Hope this helps someone.
Seems fitting coming from the "editor"
agreed. adding an extra step just to save a minute or two seems to cause more issues than anything. Do not reset your phone. Just upgrade to 5.1.1, jail break and install your cydia apps. no issues so far with 8 devices doing it this way. Still wont do my own until some of the congestion on Cydia goes down.
Yaayyy !!! Took me 10 mins to jailbreak. Super stuff. Thanks to developers of this jailbreak !!!! Big thanks !!!!
Same here. You need to make sure that you do not interfere during the jailbreak process. It worked for me the second time. It might also help if you backup, restore and , if you need to, update, from the backup, and then jailbreak.
just finished jailbroke my AT&T iPhone 4S and Verizon iPad 3. My suggestion would be: do not erase contents through Setting.app. Just back it up, then do a clean restore. I did that and it immediately succeed in jailbreaking my 4S. I have tried about 5 times after I erase the contents through Setting.app and it keeps failing.
Oh, and Absinthe 2.0.1 is just released, that also maybe is the reason I finally succeed in jailbreaking my 4S. Now, time to tinker around!
Open Cydia, go to Changes and hit "refresh". if you have any failed packages it is due to server load on Cydia and you might have to repeat the steps until you get everything to load right.
I have an iPhone 4 5.1.1 and when i download the absinthe software and try to jailbreak it just says please connect your idevice and doesn't recognize that the iPhone is plugged in even though it is and iTunes recognizes the device. I am running 10.7.4 and i even tried starting the phone in DFU mode and it still doesn't recognize the device as being plugged in. I tried 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 and neither recognize the phone as being connected. I also have an older mac running 10.5.8 and when I tried it on there absinthe says that the device is not supported but it does recognize that it's connected but either way no way to jailbreak my iPhone 4 5.1.1 so Im not sure what to do, any suggestions?
Another thing is that while searching for a good on the web electronics retail outlet, look for web shops that are constantly updated, trying to keep up-to-date with the latest products, the very best deals, in addition to helpful information on products and services. This will make certain you are getting through a shop that really stays on top of the competition and gives you what you should need to make intelligent, well-informed electronics buys. Thanks for the significant tips I have really learned from your blog.
Thank you Tech in a Flash For all you have done. Getting our business computers and website up and running was one of the most difficult things I've ever attempted to do on my own. I've dealt with so many other computer repair companies and website builders that just do the bare minimum and charge you through the roof for nothing. With Tech in a Flash I know I'll get my problems solved, questions answered and I don't have to drain my bank account. So glad you were the one I contacted! I couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It in truth used to be a entertainment account it. Look complex to far added agreeable from you! By the way, how could we keep in touch?
Its like you learn my mind! You seem to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you just can do with some percent to force the message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.
Perhaps no other sports collectible is as revered as the cigarette baseball cards produced in the late 18th and early 19th century. Still striking in appearance, even today, these vintage cards were landmark at the time of issue and considered the gold standard among today's sports card collectors.
I relay don't understand people's obsession with lying. It started (as far as I know) with the Iphone 5 and hologram function. I work in the IT sector and a day doesn't go by that people don't ask me have you seen the Iphone 5 and hologram etcetera. Than I have to explain how someone was making a fool of them. Than they get in a discussion that that that they saw is real. And usually (after half an hour) I come out of that conversation a little stupider than I went in.
This phenomenon seams to linked only to Apple products. It would be fun to see a response from HTC or Samsung. Something on the lines, their phones transform into robots and go fight crime, transform into nano machines, build a car in seconds and back into a phone. I relay don't understand whats with the laying and where is the limit?
Do people that use Apple products realize that they are paying for overpriced technology? Is their PR campaign so much successful, that people are paying and paying and are being fooled into thinking by doing this they are special?Platte daken
Anyway, trust me holograms are far, far away.
Hi my family member! I wish to say that this post is awesome, nice written and include approximately all significant infos. I'd like to look extra posts like this .
Yes, all themes will get the IDX-MLS integration.
Generally I do not learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, very nice article.
i have a question regarding jailbreaking. I was just experimenting today and was able to do it the way you instructed. Got Cydia on the phone. If you back up your phone after you've jailbroken I notice Cydia does not appear in the list of APPs in iTunes? Is that normal? I then did a restore to unjailbreak my phone and used the backup I created before hand. will this put my phone back to the way it was or did jailbreaking perminently change the inner workings? Likewise if you restore from a post jailbreak backup is you're phone still jailbroken after a restore? Would appreciate any insight. Thanks.

It is 1998 and my father's nicotine-stained fingers are much more nimble than my own. I need his fingers because without them Solid Snake will die.
Metal Gear Solid is a videogame, ostensibly, about infiltration. The protagonist, Solid Snake, must access a nuclear weapons disposal facility and neutralize a nuclear threat. …
