Top Voted Answer
easy as man, but it really isnt worth it if you dont have the patience... AND I MEAN EXTREME PATIENCE! - go to little lamplight and talk to the the female twin, (same clothes as the other male twin, blue cap and overall type clothing), she tells you a joke, just listen to her tell the same joke over and over again, it gives a tiny 7xp every time, so dont bother if you're really wanting a faster way. btw lvl 20 (my current lvl) is the final lvl, i think, i havent been able to gain xp since i got to this lvl, what i did, was set the game to very hard at the beginning and play through the game that way, you earn MAJOR xp. Be sure to get all the perks you really want before then... i have some really lame perks...

There is the sandman glitch but you need to be a high level to do it and you can glitch out into gray space and this doesn't work on the 360 because of the updates.

They have the sandman glitch on youtube

Here's a link to gamespot's "Exploit of the moment"

I think you also need the unpatched version to do all of these.

The most used xp glitch is the one in Big Town and like jackg666 said it only works on the unpatched version. The new patch adds trophies (about damn time) and removes this glitch. You can also wait until you have access to the Sandman perk where you gain extra xp by killing someone in their sleep. I've seen youtube vids exploiting this one and they advised to try to kill children in their sleep because the game does not let you kill them so you can keep doing it over and over for xp.

What do we do for fun at the Cars.com offices? We take three $80,000- plus luxury convertibles and see which one rules for high-class summer cruising. The latest Cars.com faceoff features three of today's top luxury droptops: the 2007 BMW 650i, 2007 Jaguar XK and 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL500. All three have power and looks, but we also took wind noise and ease of retracting the top into account — along with a number of other factors — to determine our winner.

Should we be getting a little antsy about the Mavericks? They have, after all, dropped five of their last seven, looking pretty suspect in the process. Included in the setbacks are two by double digits (New York and Indiana), two at home (Minnesota and Golden State) and another against a team (Charlotte) that the Mavs had never lost to before in franchise history. The only triumphs have come against a winless Washington and two-win Cleveland. That's not exactly a recipe for confidence in a squad that just two weeks ago surprised the league with a 4-1 start without Dirk Nowitzki. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle questioned the team's fight after the 20-point beating to the Pacers. After the overtime loss to Golden State on Monday, Dallas' skipper looked over the box score and zeroed in on a rebounding deficit of 19. "Nobody's focusing on rebounds," Carlisle said of his players. "That's the whole game." Losing the battle on the boards has been a regular occurrence over the last coup...

Natalie Portman's Directorial Debut & Paper Towns' Nat WolffBy Gerri Miller

Confessions of a Millenial
I've been reading a lot these days about "the Millennials," the oft-described scary generation who came of age as the millennium marker came and went. I was surprised to find out in my reading that I am in fact considered to be a part of this generation, albeit one of the founding members having been born in the early '80s. So I find myself in a tenuous balance between the desire to defend my own Millennial nature and that of my peers; and trying to figure out the age-old question of what does this new generation want and need?
It is a difficult task, to pin point the soul of a generation. The advertising agencies of the world seem to be doing a better job at it than anyone else, but that's nothing new. There are studies both within and especially outside of the Jewish world aimed at understanding what makes us different from previous generations, what makes us tick, how do we spend our money, what are our goals, etc.
The Millenial conversation seems to center around integration of technology, somewhat questionable values and very high expectations concerning money, both wanting to make a lot and adversely, not wanting to pay a lot. This seems like a fantastic generation with which to identify!
I must confess, sometimes I find myself acting like a millennial; I text…a lot, I rely heavily on the Internet and am somewhat of a savant at locating anything on the great Google. I watch TV shows on my computer and I don't have a landline. I am more inclined to attend an event if it's free and I love having lots of choices for everything I could possibly want. I have big goals for myself professionally and I expect and demand that my gender, sexuality, politics or ideology will help not hurt me as I go through life.
On the other hand, I have the heart of an historian. I have been accused many a time of knowing more than anyone else my age does about a variety of topics from pop culture of an age long gone to lyrics of obscure songs recorded decades before my birth. I have a reverence for the past as it informs the future that many think is missing from my generation. I even took a How Millennial Are You quiz (online, of course) and as I suspected, scored 50 percent: six of one, half dozen of the other.
But that's just who I am. Like a good millennial, I straddle a variety of identities and I am comfortable in them all. But statistics and studies cannot tell my story completely.
The first time I confronted statistics was not as a member of a generation but rather as the child of interfaith parents. Statistically, as the child of a Catholic mother and Jewish father, there was little chance that I would end up identifying as Jewish. I love this statistic, this tiny percentage, because I was always so proud that despite the odds stacked against me, not only do I identify as Jewish but I became a rabbi: I center my life around Judaism. While I fully understand the importance of these studies and these numbers, I know first hand that they never tell everyone's story. My story will be different from yours even if we share a percentage.
The great cycle of generations always seems to contain a smattering of confusion and frustration coupled with a yearning for youth and the promise it brings. The Millenials are certainly not the first nor will be the last to feel the pressure from previous generations to conform just a little bit more. But rather than bemoan how left behind we all inevitably feel as a new generation takes its place, let's keep listening to peoples' stories and keep telling our own.
While each of us are irrevocably tied to the time and space in which we were born and raised, it is how we live our lives and the choices that we make that define us far beyond statistics. There are always those who define the trend as well as those who buck it and it will continue to be far more important to me to ask why and listen to the answers rather than assume that I already know because I read a study or an article in The New York Times.
No matter your generational identity, I think we all want the same things at the end of the day: some happiness, love and community, and to leave the world better than we found it, despite how differently we may express it or how differently that might look.
Hopefully, with a bit of luck, we will all figure out the wants and needs of this Millenial generation just in time for the next generation to confound us once again.
What Millenials Want from Us
I recently had the opportunity to hear a presentation by Dr. Beth Cousens, a creative and strategic thinker, who works with leaders in Jewish education and in Jewish life to help organizations ensure success. Her focus on strategic thinking, partnership and creative and relevant Jewish educational ideas have helped her to be a respected voice in the field.
She shared with us her insights about engaging and empowering young adults in Jewish life. Our focus was Millennials, ages 22-35, how best to serve them, engage them, and what to expect from their "engagement" with our institutions. For example, she explained that many Jewish young adults don't know how to be Jewish, as adults. They don't want to register or sign up. They are very interested in the answer to the question "What value is added to my life?" and they are very much looking for meaning. They don't want to be segmented unnaturally; i.e. don't offer Torah study for singles. Offer Torah study if you want to offer Torah study and welcome the singles! Or, offer a singles event. But don't try to combine two things that don't naturally fit together.
They are definitely looking for DIY Judaism. No longer can Jewish institutions and congregations "do Jewish" for their members. These young adults want to do for themselves! They need our organizations to help them learn how to do it.
She shared 5 calls to action:
I love the format of InterfaithFamily's classes and workshops. Our mission falls directly in line with what these Millennials are looking for with our Love and Religion and Raising a Child offerings. We offer accessible and non-judgmental information so that interfaith families and those who support them can incorporate more Judaism into their lives. Check out our current offerings and stay tuned for changes to come in 2014!
What would you add to Dr. Cousens' five calls to action?

I really like this one - I have most of the 24/7 pencils and find that they do vary. One of my favourite colours is Bourbon but I find it doesn't last as well as the others. However Stash is a lovely colour and it really did last well - I would say it was on a par with Lucky and Baked.

Stash is one of Urban Decay's newest 24/7 Glide On eye pencil colors, and it's a dark, olive green color with a golden sheen. It is gorgeous and, like the other 24/7 Glide On pencils I've tried, they apply like butter and stay put. These are well worth the price.

Through the Blend Wall or Not: Experts Weigh in on Ethanol Blends and the Future of Biofuels
November 25th, 2013
How much ethanol can we use? Not as much as the corn ethanol lobby says, but considerably more than the oil industry wants you to think. The trench warfare between oil and corn ethanol interests over the future of biofuels policy distracts us from the more important questions. To understand the practical constraints facing the near term implementation of biofuel policy, it's important to remember that there are 15 million flex fuel cars on America's roads today capable of running on blends of 85 percent ethanol (E85) – it just isn't broadly available. The implications reach beyond just corn ethanol. Read More
The EPA and Biofuels: Smart Goals, but an Outdated Roadmap
November 19th, 2013
It may sound backwards, but the EPA's proposal at the end of last week to reduce the 2014 biofuels mandates in the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) is just what we need to make sure we realize the promise of truly low carbon biofuels that cut oil use while minimizing competition with food. But while adjusting mandates in light of up-to-date data is smart, the EPA's proposal goes too far, and could slow forward progress. Before finalizing the rule, the EPA should carefully balance near term challenges with the need to maintain progress toward long term oil saving and climate goals. Read More
Talking Biofuels: A Conversation with University of Illinois Biofuel Experts
October 30th, 2013
I've long admired and relied on the work of the ag economists at Farmdoc Daily, particularly Scott Irwin and Darrel Goode. They've done a lot of insightful analysis on the agricultural market impact of biofuel mandates under the Renewable Fuel Standard — analysis that I rely on to make the case for a flexible, cautious approach to implementing the standard to ensure our clean fuel goals don't come into conflict with food security and climate protection. I was lucky enough to spend a day recently with Scott, Darrel and other researchers at their home base of the University of Illinois, talking over the future of biofuels. Read More
The Future of Biofuels Part 3: Biodiesel
March 20th, 2013
Faithful readers will have seen my data-based analysis of the US mandates for biofuels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) big choices on how to administer the program looking ahead. These choices highlight how the "food versus fuel" debate extends far beyond corn. The bottom line is that if the agency expands the RFS advanced mandate to make up for the slow commercialization of non-food "cellulosic" fuels, it will undermine the environmental and fuel security goals of the fuel standard, and contribute to food supply problems worldwide.

President's Proposed Energy Security Trust Could Help, But Much More Needed to Address Oil Use
February 15th, 2013
During President Obama's State of the Union address, he spoke to the importance of cutting America's oil use. As part of that, he proposed the creation of an Energy Security Trust that would use revenues from oil and gas production to invest in research for clean vehicle technology. The goal: to "shift our cars and trucks off oil for good" and "free our families and businesses from the painful spikes in gas prices we've put up with for far too long."
So, would a proposed trust help or hurt efforts to cut oil use? Or is it too soon to tell? Read More
Is the Drought a Perfect Storm for U.S. Beef?
February 11th, 2013
In writing about climate change it's hard to avoid the use of catch phrases and clichéd metaphors, as much we try to stop shooting silver bullets and keep all those pesky canaries out of our coal mines. At times, though, such oft-repeated words are used in paradoxical ways, jarring you into thinking about them a bit more deeply. This happened to me a few days ago when, in response to new Department of Agriculture data on the U.S. livestock industry, a beef producer referred to the impacts of the persistent drought as "a perfect storm."

The Coming Fork in the Road for Biofuels
January 22nd, 2013
For those of us in the business of educating the public and influencing policy makers, feature stories in the New York Times can be game changers. So the story by the Times' Elisabeth Rosenthal published earlier this month on the cost of biofuels in Guatemala was not only great journalism on an important human rights issue, it also (hopefully) showed our government decision-makers the human cost of biofuels policy at a time when they have a real opportunity to do something about it.

The U.S. Corporation and Technical Progress
In his magisterial Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy ( Schumpeter 1950), first published over fifty years ago, Joseph Schumpeter argued that contemporary neoclassical economic models of capitalism and competition overlooked the key characteristics of these phenomena. Capitalism and competition essentially were about technical innovation and economic growth, rather than the achievement of static "economic efficiency." Large firms with considerable market power were, in Schumpeter's view, the major sources of technical innovation. One of the concomitants of the dynamic power of modern capitalism was that the system always seemed to be operating somewhat inefficiently in the static sense, at least in comparison with the economists' theoretical norm of perfect competition. But according to Schumpeter, the dynamic gains to society from the economic growth generated by this system vastly outweighed such theoretical and imaginary static inefficiencies.
In so arguing, Schumpeter rekindled an old debate about how to view the large corporations that had grown up in the United States since the turn of the century. Should they be understood largely as causes of static economic inefficiency associated with monopoly pricing and sources of politically dangerous concentrations of political power? Or should they instead be welcomed as the principal and indispensable vehicle through which the United States and other advanced industrial nations lifted their standards of living and achieved the kind of democracy that is possible only

Tabu by Dana
Powerful stuff! Generally, I enjoy potent seduction scents if I'm in the right mood. I decided to test my memory of Tabu today, as I haven't sniffed it for about 40 years. Back then it made me a bit queasy (more estrogen than now). I was almost knocked down by the sillage from one spray on the wrist. The top notes are quite a clarion call and I worried that passers-by might think I was off to my day-shift at the local massage parlour. I can detect no animal notes in this scent - it's raucously floral and sententiously spicy, and I suspect she who wears it shouldn't wash for a few days before wearing it to get the sultry best from Tabu. I arrived home one hour after application and washed the wrist with liquid soap and warm water, thoroughly. What's left is about the right amount, and still potent. There's an overwhelmingly-sweet quality to the accord which doesn't appeal to me too much. I'd like some leather notes and a little more woody dryness to temper it. But hey, for the price... who's complaining! Not too bad really - far, far superior to the ghastly Stitch series and their ilk. To be worn with motley furs, red heels, tousled hair and lots of black eyeliner.

My Love/Hate Relationship with First Person Shooters
I don't think I've ever beat a first person shooter. I've played many FPS' from GoldenEye to Far Cry 3, andI don't think I've finished one. My experience with first person shooters goes like this:
Start a First Person Shooter.
Find It Fun For About
2 Hours.
Become Bored by the
3rd Hour.[/center]
It makes me hesitant to spend any money towards playing a critically acclaimed first person shooter. The last first person shooter I played was Far Cry 3. That game was nowhere on my radar screen, but things were boring in December 2012, and Far Cry 3 was getting some pretty impressive reviews. I played the solo campaign, and found myself turning it off every 20 minutes. The game had plenty of fun things to do, but I just wasn't enjoying the experience. I traded it in a week after I bought it. All of those positive reviews, and I didn't enjoy Far Cry 3. Shame. I didn't enjoy Far Cry 3 because I hate first person shooters.
I Hate First Person Shooters.
Well that's not entirely true. I enjoy watching people play First Person Shooters. I would have no problem watching someone play Far Cry 3. I probably would have gotten more into the game if I had watched someone do their thing. If one of my friends had gotten into Far Cry 3, I would've been right there watching it like a movie. Heck, I'd even play the game for a little if my friend wanted to take a break.
Come to think of it, I enjoy playing First Person Shooters with other people. I spent months playing Turok Evolution with my friends back in the day. Multiplayer is where it's at. My friends and I would meet up after school and play deathmatches for hours. I remember I would pack my Wavebird controller in my backpack so I could go straight to my friend Brian's house from school.
I Love Multiplayer Tho...
Hanging out with friends and playing a first person shooter has always been a joy for me. It goes back to the days of GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64. Four people playing split screen on a 13 inch TV having a blast. Those were the days. There's something about being in the same room with a person while I play a First Person Shooter. Maybe it's just being able to hang out and play videogames you know? I hope Split Screen games never goes away.
These days I find myself having the most fun playing Split Screen Co-op with one other player. Modern Warfare 3 surprised me with its Spec Ops mode. My friend Tino and I finished every mission in two nights. I thought Borderlands was best when I played it split screen with my friend Blake. I found it boring when I played by it online, but when Blake and I played together it was magic. We played it until 7 in the morning one night. It was crazy.
Playing Online?
Not So Much
While I enjoy playing with other people, I'm not a fan of playing First Person Shooters Online. Not only do I suck, but I just don't have a lot of fun playing. I'm a different kind of gamer in an online environment My focus is completely different. When I play any game offline I find myself trying to be stylish when I play. For example, in Grand Theft Auto IV, I'll always have a rare or exotic car in my garage. When I'm online my only focus is not to die. It's different. It makes it worse when the game I'm playing is a first person shooter. I'm never see anything coming. It's the worst.
I thought maybe playing online with friends would help, but it doesn't. It's just not the same when I can't accuse anyone of looking at my screen. This is one of the reasons why I consider GoldenEye for the N64 to be the best First Person Shooter ever. Multiplayer games weren't online back then so you were forced to play in the same room with people. I've got nothing but good memories from those days.
Bioshock Infinite
BioShock Infinite is set to be released at midnight. I don't think I'm going to play it. The good reviews Infinite has received are doing little to influence my decision to play it. I don't want to end up disappointed like I did with Far Cry 3. Who knows? I might end up bored enough to give Bioshock: Infinite a shot. When there's nothing else, a first person shooter will have to do.

Errol's Most Anticipated Games of 2012
New year, new videogames. 2012 has a lineup of releases that looks solid. This year marks the return of many beloved franchises as well as sequels to some of the most impressive videogames around. Here's my list of most anticipated titles for 2012.
Resident Evil Revelations
This might be my most anticipated game of the year. I'm curious to see what Capcom has in store with Resident Evil: Revelations. Capcom promises that Revelations will bring the series back to it's survival horror roots, which I couldn't be more excited about. Add the fact that it's release is only a month away and you've got me sold.
Twisted Metal
Twisted Metal makes its next generation debut this Valentines Day. I'm a bit skeptical about this game. I wasn't a fan of Twisted Metal Black, but I haven't played a Twisted Metal game in years. That alone is enough of a reason for me to check this out.
Asura's Wrath
I mostly put this game here because it's an original title. It's not a sequel or a remake, which means it's probably going to have a hard time standing out from the titles coming in February. Hopefully Asura's Wrath gets good reviews and stands it's ground against the competition.
Playstation Vita
Despite all of the negative stories, I'm buying a Playstation Vita on launch day. Why? Because it's being released two days after my birthday. A new portable videogame system sounds like the perfect birthday present to myself. I'm looking getting my hands on one and trying it out. Hopefully the Playstation Vita has an arsenal of quality titles that makes me happy that I bought one.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Sony made the right move by making Uncharted: Golden Abyss a launch title for the Playstation Vita. It made my decision to buy a Vita on launch day that much easier. Hopefully Sony keeps up the quality titles on the PS Vita. I've got hope for it.
2012 marks the return of my favorite snowboarding series. SSX is the NBA Street of Snowboarding. SSX is over the top. It's known for it's gorgeous visuals, and damn near impossible tricks. I've been waiting for a new SSX for years, and I can't wait to see what we have in store with this one.
Mass Effect 3
Another adventure with Shepard? Bring it on. This time it looks like we'll be trying to save planet Earth. If Mass Effect 3 is anywhere near as good as Mass Effect 2, I'll probably invest at least 50 hours into it. Can't wait to play as female Shepard again.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
March 2012
Metal Gear Solid on the 3DS? Yes please. I've actually never played Metal Gear Solid 3. Ok I did, but I was too focused on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to get into it. Metal Gear Solid 3D is kind of like redemption for the days I put off the PS2 version. I'm curious to see what the game is going to look like on my 3DS.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD
Summer 2012
I must say that it's about time Tony Hawk went back to what it does best. Old school Tony Hawk is one of the best videogame franchises of all time. It just over saturated the market with yearly releases. It's been years since Activision released an old school Tony Hawk game. This summer marks the return of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. This version includes locations from the first and second Tony Hawk, and is going to be sold for a whopping $15 dollars this summer. First Day Purchase indeed.
Grand Theft Auto V
Honestly I don't think we'll see the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2012. All we've seen so far is a minute long trailer. When a new Grand Theft Auto is released, Rockstar makes sure the world knows it's coming way ahead of time. I hope we get more details about the GTAV this year. Is the multiple characters perspective true? What's the time period? Is it going to be on the Wii U? Things like that.
Wii U
I doubt the Wii U is coming in 2012 as well, but I wouldn't rule it out. One thing noticeably missing from this list is upcoming games for the Wii. It's a bad sign when the only game I can think of coming this year for the Wii is Madden 13. I do hope we get more details about Wii U this year. What is the price going to be? What games are in development for it? Does it perform better than the PS3 and Xbox 360? Guess we'll just have to wait and find out.
The crazy part about this years most anticipated list is that with the exception of Tony Hawk, all of the games listed will be released in the first half of the year. This either means that the holiday season will bring even more great games, or it will be quiet due to flood of the games being released in the first half. I think the holiday season will be great. Maybe I'll do another most anticipated list as games get announced for the holiday season. Until next time.

PAX Easter 2012
PAX East 2012 falls later in the year than usual. Instead of a tradition weekend in March, PAX East will be held the weekend of April 6th - 8th, 2012. That happens to be the weekend Easter Sunday falls. Make sure you get your passes to PAX Easter. You don't want to be left out on the first annual PAX Easter.
PAX East has been awesome ever since it's debut in 2010. A convention that's focused only on games has never been seen on the East Coast. PAX East changed all of that by hosting the first annual PAX East at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. I was one of the 52,000 people that attended in 2010. It changed my life. It made me believe that being a gaming journalist is really possible. I saw people walking by with different badges that said "Media" on them. I asked myself,
"If people with "media" badges are able to attend PAX East for free to cover the convention, why can't I?"
My search for that answer brought me to PAX East 2011. PAX East really outdid itself in 2011. It moved from the Hynes Convention Center to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) in South Boston. BCEC opened in 2004, and proved to be a better home for PAX East. As one of the 69,000 attendees, I would say it was epic. I feel like I did more to promote "Errol Games" during this convention. I did interviews, I took pictures, and I settled disputes during that weekend. I learned that people who have media badges like to make fun of your 3 Day Pass if they don't like you. I like my 3 Day Pass. I have no problem paying money to cover PAX East my way. It would be nice to go to PAX East for free tho. I feel like I need to win a contest or something to make that happen. I could use some guidance. 2012 should be an interesting year.

Why the 2011 VGA's Rocked
Ladies and gentleman I stand corrected. I had every expectation that the 2011 Video Game Awards were going to be two hours of boring television. Boy was I was wrong. The 2011 VGA's were great. Really great. I enjoyed watching it from beginning to end. Here are some reasons why the 2011 Video Game Awards Rocked.
Great Host
A great awards show begins with a great host, and Zachary Levi was just that. His Portal 2 leap across the venue was a great entrance, and the guy knew what he was talking about. That's a huge step up from last years host, Neil Patrick Harris, who was cool, but I couldn't really relate to the him as a gamer. Zacahry Levi was funny as well. His joke about him and Jane Lynch being sexy male hosts had me laughing. He also kept the show moving. I wouldn't mind if he came back to host the Video Game Awards again.
Better Music
The VGA's made a bunch of additions to the show this year that rocked. One of the additions was an in house DJ by the name of Deadmau5. Deadmau5 was also the in house DJ at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, so he's already official when it comes to rocking awards shows. I know a bunch of people tuned in just to see Deadmau5 perform.
Of course on television his epic music and light shows kept getting cut short thanks to commercials, but he did his thing. Deadmau5 also introduced a new helmet which is way more detailed than the one he had on at the VMA's. The new helmet is cool because it has a bunch of videogame designs on it. The Right Eye is Pac Man and I see a 1UP logo on his right ear. Very appropriate for the occassion.
Better Presenters
Remember the people who presented at last years Video Game Awards? I thought not. This year we saw a bunch of famous faces present awards, trailers, and musical guests. The guys from that show Workaholics were hilarious when they presented the trailer to Alan Wake. They came out as if they won an award and went on to introduce Alan Wake 2. By the way they were presenting the trailer it wasn't clear if they knew the game they were presenting or not adding to the humor.
What about Charlie sheen presenting? That was definitely a highlight of the night. Say what you want about Charlie Sheen, that man is winning. Gotta give kudos to Will I Am and Hulk Hogan. The special guests that attended this years show makes me want to go to next years VGA's. I'd get to mingle with some stars for real.
Hall of Fame
This year the Video Game Awards gave out it's version of the Lifetime Achievement Award by inducting The Legend of Zelda into the Video Game Hall of Fame. The only thing bigger than Zelda being the first game inducted into the Hall of Fame was creator Shigeru Miyamoto being there to accept the award. Both Zelda & Shigeru Miyamoto deserve that first spot in the Hall of Fame.
Despite all of the recent controversy around rumors of Miyamoto is retiring, it was good to see him on stage smiling. Something tells me this isn't the last time we'll see Miyamoto accepting a Hall of Fame award. I give it 3 years tops before Mario makes his way into the Hall of Fame. The Videogame Hall of Fame is a genius award within itself. I look forward to seeing what game get inducted next.
You know those award shows where the person who wins give a really long acceptance speech? The VGA's aren't one of them. Gone are the days of people thanking everyone from GOD to the cleaning lady at their hotel. If you take too long at the VGA's you risk getting teabagged by a US Soldier.
I thought the host was joking when he said if you take too long accepting your award you'll get teabagged. That was until the guys at Infinity Ward set off the alarm for going too long on their acceptance speech for Best Shooter. Next thing you know the soldiers on the stage Teabagging one of the guys from Modern Warfare 3. How's that for a win. You've got the best selling game of the year, the award for best shooter, and you got teabagged on stage. I look forward to the day I get to accept a VGA. The only thing I'll have on my mind is avoiding getting teabagged. Until next year.

Why I Want The Special Edition of Skyward Sword
I can't even remember the last time I played my Wii. If I remember correctly I was playing Donkey Kong Returns last November. It's sad. I see it everyday in my living room collecting dust. It saddens me to think that I could have traded in my Wii a year ago and not even missed it. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the only reason why I haven't traded in my Wii.
I've come close to trading in my Wii on many different occasions. The first time I almost traded it in, I decided to trade in my Gamecube peripherals instead. They included Super Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, a Gamecube memory card, and a Gamecube Controller. I got $20 from my friend Simon at Patriot Games, and put gas in my car.
I came really close to selling my Wii the other day. I was strapped for cash and needed gas to get to school. I began to get the cords together when I noticed my one and only Wiimote sitting by itself. I thought of the Special Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
"Doesn't that include a Wiimote?" I thought to myself.
I began to do my research. Not only does the Special Edition of Skyward Sword include a gold covered Wiimote, the Wiimote has the Wii Motion Plus built into it. I then found out that the Wii Motion Plus is required to play Skyward Sword. I've had my Wiimote since 2007. It doesn't have any of bells and whistles that newer Wiimote's have. My Wiimote was officially obsolete. I grabbed my Wiimote and an extra nunchuck I've had laying around and traded both in for $15 dollars at Patriot Games. To the Gas station.
As the holidays approach, the first thing on my Christmas List is the Special Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It's $79.99 which is the same price as if you bought the game and a Wiimote separately, but you're Wiimote wouldn't look as cool as the one that comes in the special edition. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is tje final game for my Wii before I trade it in. It's going to be nice to be able to play it with a new controller.

Why Multiple Characters in #GTAV Doesn't Make Sense
I don't believe the rumor of multiple playable characters in #GTAV after watching the trailer. It doesn't make sense. If that was the case more than one person would be narrating their story in the first trailer for the game. Remember the trailer to GTA IV? "Perhaps here will be different" was spoken by the main character Niko Bellic. Alternative characters come in the downloadable content. If you remember, The Ballad of Gay Tony & The Lost & the Damned put different perspectives on the same story. I bet #GTAV will do the same thing.
The trailer showcases a bunch of fancy cars. The one that caught my attention was the red convertible which showcases it's ability to drop it's hard top. That is a beautiful car. I can't wait to ride it down the streets of Los Santos. Is that Los Angeles? I beat San Andreas 5 years ago. I can't remember. I know I saw a sign that said Los Santos in the trailer tho.
It looks like our protagonist this time around is a middle aged American white man. The name of our character remains a mystery, but I'm already interested. It looks like our protagonist has already accomplished everything he wants in life. He's retreated to what looks like Los Angeles for "the magic" as he calls it. Grand Theft Auto V looks like this guys midlife crisis. I don't care though. He is interesting enough for me to want to see what his life is like. Sign me up for the #GTAV. You'll probably see me at a midnight release.
Then again watching the trailer almost 12 hours later opens me up to the possibility of multiple characters. Who's to say you're not playing as one of the homeless people in the street, or as the guy who is running from the cops. Los Santos is definitely set in modern times. All I can see missing is the occupy movement. I can't wait to hear what the radio stations have to say. Maybr the story is about multiple characters. I just have a hard time believing it. [img]

Why I'm Buying Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD
The reviews are in for the HD version of Resident Evil Code Veronica and they are mixed. It currently has a score of 74 which is all right considering. I've read the reviews from Destructoid which gave it a 5/10 and Gamepro which gave the game 3 out of 5 stars.
These were the CONS from Gamepro's review of Resident Evil: Code Veronica HD:
"CONS: Terrible controls hamper much of the gameplay; puzzles are occasionally way too obscure to figure out without help; forced camera perspective feels cheap later in the game; rarity of items and weapons can get you stuck in a corner if you're not careful."
My question to the person that wrote the review is how many Resident Evil games have you played before? Last I remembered Code Veronica was similar to Resident Evil games before Resident Evil 4. The fixed camera angels weren't "cute" in the year 2000. They made Resident Evil the series it is today! Pressing "forward" to move is nothing new to veterans of the series who think the series has recently moved in the wrong direction. The rarity of items and weapons is also a staple in the series. The game would be way too easy and less scary if you had more bullets than you needed to survival. The genre is survival horror after all. Learn how to save bullets.
Destructoid's review of Code Veronica is similar to Gamepro's except a valid point is brought out in Dtoid's review. They ponder why younger Resident Evil Games such as the Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0 were overlooked for an HD remake. Capcom probably looked past Resident Evil 0 because that game is short. I remember finishing that game in one sitting. Capcom probably overlooked the REmake is already a remake. Why remake a game for a third time? I mean the first Resident Evil is a classic by all means, but give it a rest.
Speaking of games that need to stop being remade can Capcom stop remaking Resident Evil 4? I mean jeez you can play that game on everything from a Gamecube to an iPhone. Giving the game HD graphics doesn't justify releasing Resident Evil 4 for the umpteenth time. The problem with Resident Evil 4 is it created Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 is the worst game in the series. I didn't become a fan of the Resident Evil series because of it's over the top action. I became a fan because the atmospheric fixed camera games. I can not wait for Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS. In the mean time I'll download Resident Evil Code Veronica HD tomorrow and relive the Resident Evil experience I fell in love with.[img][/img]

What the Hell is a Deus Ex?
Forgive my ignorance but what the hell is Deus Ex? All's I know is it's a PC game that came out 10 years ago. My knowledge of PC games is limited to Call of Duty 2 and The Sims. My PC doesn't turn on, but it has an ATI Radeon X700 video card inside of it. I'm guessing that a pretty dated graphics, but I was able to play the Sims 2 on high settings with no problem.
Back to Deus Ex. Apparently a version of the original game was ported to the Playstation 2 in 2002. I wasn't aware of it. I was too busy playing Resident Evil on the Gamecube. The reviews have been pretty solid for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Human Revolution popped on my Radar after my trip to Blockbuster earlier. I walked in and noticed that all seven copies for the PS3 version of Deus Ex were rented out. I've never seen a whole section of PS3 games rented out at Blockbuster. Ever. I knew it would get worse as I checked the XBOX 360 section. Sold Out. I asked the guy at the counter if he had any copies. He told me they'll be back on Sunday. Great. The game I wanted to spend Hurricane Irene playing will be back on the day Irene shows up.
Looks like I'll have to spend an arm and a leg to buy Deus Ex: Human Revolution. $59.99 is a ridiculous price for a videogame. I'd be cool if videogames were released digitally if it meant I had the option to rent the game before I bought it. Maybe it already exists. Told you I'm ignorant when it comes to PC Gaming. Anyway's I've got a videogame to buy. I'll make sure to not buy it from Gamestop due to them taking the PC version of Deus Ex off it's shelves. I'm not planning on buying the PC version, but I shop where all gamers shop. [img]

Nintendo 3DS Buyers Guide
So you bought a Nintendo 3DS. Let me be the first to say welcome to the family. They say I should be upset about paying $250 dollars for something that's price went down in less than 6 months. Truth is I'm not upset. The Nintendo 3DS is the only thing I videogame console I play and has been since I bought it. Before the price went down I had invested 300 hours into Street Fighter 3D. It's safe to say I got my moneys worth. This post isn't about me though, it's about you and your new 3DS. With any new console comes questions and I'm here to help answer them.
The first question you probably have is what color should you choose? My answer would be the flame red that's coming September 9th to North America. If you can't wait that long you're choices are Aqua Blue and Cobalt Black. I went with Cobalt Black because I wanted to be more low key about having a 3DS. I remember when I bought a DSi kids younger than me instantly knew what it was. The Black 3DS gives kids the benefit of the doubt until they see the screen. The Aqua Blue 3DS is your way of telling the world you own a Nintendo 3DS. No shame in that, but it might attract some unwanted attention. The choice is yours.
Next question you might have is what games should you buy? I strongly recommend Street Fighter 3D. If you enjoyed playing Street Fighter when you were younger play this game. It is the be all end all to the Street Fighter franchise. The hardcore console Street Fighter Players should give this a try as well. I know you spent X amount of dollars on arcade sticks, but you gotta check this out. Only people I wouldn't recommend this two are people who never liked Street Fighter.
Another game to check out is Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. I'm personally not a big fan of the game. I got further than I did when I played it on the Gamecube, but I keep getting stuck. I hate walking around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do next. I respect the games legacy. It's the first 3DS game to sell one million units for a reason. If you haven't played Pokemon Black/White yet I also recommend that game. I've taken a break from playing it, but it was fun while I played it.
The last question you might have is how does the 3D effect look? My answer to that is it looks awesome. I initially thought the 3D meant that things would pop out at you, but that's not the case (so far.) The 3D really brings out the graphics in games that I've played. The background really comes to life when you turn the stereoscopic lens up. I can't play with the 3D too high for that long. My eyes begin to strain and I start seeing double on the screen. I usually keep the settings fairly low most of the time. I can still see the 3D and my eyes don't strain at all. Sometime I play with 2D. Either way I'm definitely enjoying my 3DS. I hope you enjoy yours.
I hope I helped your journey with your 3DS. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer them. Enjoy.

Dead Space 2 Loves Your Mother
Why would any gamer care what their mother thinks about Dead Space 2? Is that the best you could come up with to promote the game? Only way I can explain it is someone at EA is seeing their MILF fetish come to life. Why else would we have commercials of older women reacting to a videogame they never heard of? Then there's the creepy sweepstakes where you enter by sending in videos of your mothers reaction to Dead Space 2. Why are you so obsessed with my mother EA? I can't wait to see what Dead Space has planned for Mother's Day.

Jim Sterling on Blow
Oh no! A game developer is mad. Run for the hills!!! The story goes gaming website CVG posted an article based on an interview Edge Magazine did with Braid creators Jonathan Blow and Chris Hecker. Jonathan Blow is mad at the article because:
"They fill out their article by pasting in somewhat-out-of-context quotes to support this statement (and nothing else). To believe their account, it was a highly anti-Microsoft and pro-Sony interview"
- Jonathan Blow
You gotta do what you gotta do. Face it Blow your interview with Edge Magazine is mad long. Most people checking CVG don't give a damn about Edge Magazine. Print is dieing for a reason. All we have as gaming journalists is hits. It's how we stay relevant, and get noticed by people in the biz like yourself. You're mad that CVG sensationalized a small portion of your interview? At least CVG's article is readable.
You should attack the videogame websites with no substance that thrive off of sensational titles. I'd be more insulted if someone had sensationalized one of my interviews with more grammatical errors and spelling mistakes than a middle school dropout. The way you found out about CVG's article shows the invisible wall developers have with their consumers. I didn't know who you were until Jim Sterling warned Twitter of the shitstorm that he caused. Maybe you should be more involved with people that are on the Internet. It'll be useful in the future.

Alan Wake is Officially Overrated
It was brought to my attention that Time Magazine gave Alan Wake it's Game of the Year award. The first thought I had on my mind was "wow Microsoft must have paid someone off." I read the article by Eric Narcisse, and I have to say Alan Wake is overrated.
Of all the games released in 2010 I don't think of Alan Wake as being a standout. It might stand out for taking five years to be developed, but that gets out shined by Gran Turismo 5. During Alan Wake's five years in devlopment many gamers had forgotten about it. Gamers never forgot about Gran Turismo 5, and were actually looking forward to playing it. The only time I saw Alan Wake on anyones most anticipated list was when someone was trying to remind gamers it wasn't cancelled.
"Lots of video-game covers have a bold M on their lower left corner, but none have felt as mature as Alan Wake does."
What's so mature about running in the woods with a flashlight? I can think of one game that feels more mature than Alan Wake, Heavy Rain. The story centers around a search for a serial killer and the child he kidnapped. Heavy Rain is so mature it forces you to sit back and watch it like a movie. There's no moments of aimlessly running in the woods in Heavy Rain.
"Its unsettled titular character carries adult concerns � a stalled career, a troubled marriage � into a psychological thriller set in a town taken over by a shadowy occult force."
That sounds like a profile of Harry Mason, the main character from Silent Hill. It's clear Silent Hill had a huge influence on Alan Wake. The intro to Alan Wake is so similar to Silent Hill, I had trouble believing it wasn't a remake. Speaking of remakes that whole walking around with a flashlight thing was used a year earlier in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
I'm not saying Alan Wake doesn't deserve Time Magazine's Game of the Year award. It's just a bit strange that I read the article, and think of so many other games as I read. What makes Alan Wake so special if the only way I can describe it is overrated?
Check out the Time Magazine article here. Alan Wake - The Top 10 Everything of 2010[img]

With a Business Administration A.S. degree from Onondaga, students will have several options upon graduation. Primarily, this degree is intended for students who will transfer to a four-year degree in their chosen field of business. Articulation agreements allow students to transfer with junior status to many public and private four-year schools.
Rather than transferring immediately, some students will choose to seek employment after finishing this degree. Upon completion of the degree these students will hold an A.S. in Business Administration, and will be well positioned to return to the academic world at a later point in their lives.

Snellville hair salon robbed•SNELLVILLE - A Snellville hair salon at 1195 Scenic Highway was robbed about Wednesday about noon by two men with silver handguns. The J Scott Salon owner said the two black men demanded she empty the cash register, then took money and a cell phone from customers, according to a police report.

Man robbed after falling for laptop scam•LAWRENCEVILLE - A Lawrenceville man was robbed by two men attempting to sell him laptop computers shortly before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. The self-employed computer repairman was outside his Sugarloaf Gate Court home when two men in an older model burgundy car stopped to ask if he wanted to buy some laptop computers, a police report said. When the man agreed, the men pulled the car into the driveway to show him their products. After the man took a look at the computers, one of the men threatened the homeowner with a knife and took his money and jewelry, then fled. After examining some left boxes behind marked "laptops," the resident discovered the boxes were filled with three-ring binders and bubble wrap. Man exposes himself at Duluth park•DULUTH - A Duluth woman said a man exposed himself to her Sunday while she was exercising at Shorty Howell Park at 2750 Pleasant Hill Road. An Hispanic man believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s ran in front of the 44-year-old real estate agent, pulled down his pants and began touching himself, according to a police report. The woman said she was on the park trail about 8:15 a.m. near the playground when the man ran into her view. She said she noticed him watching her before the incident. Someone had also placed magazine pages of pornographic pictures on park benches, the woman said. - From staff reports

|25, when fully staffed, in Vienna
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue, globally known by its abbreviation: KAICIID, is a controversial but uniquely empathic[1] governmental, not-for-profit worldwide organization founded in October 2011 by King Abdullah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Accordingly, the Republic of Austria and the Kingdom of Spain are also backing the Centre with the aim of keeping KAICIID free from all political interference and influence.[2][3][4] The Holy See is a founding observer.[5]
Mission and objectives[edit]
This new international organization, KAICIID, is headquartered in Vienna, Austria; and has major objectives of facilitating intercultural and interreligious dialogue as a humanely strategic forum for cooperation, communication, partnership and information exchange - thereby building understanding and mutual benefit among peoples of the world.
Crucially, KAICIID has further goals of promoting human rights, justice, peace and reconciliation plus acting against the abuse of religion as a means to justify oppression, violence and conflict; promoting abiding societal cherishment for the preservation and sacredness of holy sites, as well as respect for religious symbols; including focusing on compassionate issues pertaining to: the dignity of human life, preservation of the environment, ethical matters, poverty alleviation and religious education.[6]
Guiding principles[edit]
Recalling that the founding document of KAICIID cites principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, especially, "the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" - with emphasis on "human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion,"[7] International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue is, therefore, motivated by the following principles: <incomplete citation>
Notably, on 13 October 2011 an agreement for the establishment of the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue in Vienna was signed by the governments of Austria, Spain and Saudi Arabia.[8][9][10]
The center was inaugurated on 27 November 2012 in Vienna, in a ceremony attended by representatives of the world's major religions.[11] The inauguration-ceremony was overshadowed, though, by protest expressed by the Austrian Green Party as well as a variety of Austrian NGOs concerned with Saudi Arabia's poor human-rights record and fears that the KAICIID would in fact be misused by founding member and chief financier Saudi Arabia as a bridge-head for spreading Wahhabism in Europe.[12]

"Our region continues to grow its reputation as one of the best places to dine in Queensland. This is down to the talented teams of people including chefs and front of house, who put so much time and effort into the dishes they create and service they offer.
"The Restaurant & Catering Awards are recognised as one of the most prestigious honours to those who work in the industry," Mr Ryan added.
Top accolades went to Lure Restaurant & Bar as the winner of best café restaurant and the prestigious 2012 Northern QLD consumer vote. It was also a finalist in best breakfast restaurant and restaurant wedding caterer.
Salsa Bar & Grill received two awards as the winner of best contemporary Australian restaurant – informal and best restaurant wedding caterer.
Port Douglas stood out in the seafood restaurant category with 2 Fish Restaurant winning the overall award. Two of the three finalists in the category included the Port Douglas based Finz Seafood Restaurant and On the Inlet Seafood Restaurant.
Andy Gray, owner of Bel Cibo, was the recipient of best Italian restaurant. For Andy, who opened his restaurant in November 2009, he is "over the moon". "A lot of it comes down to the fact that we have a good passion for what we do. From the kitchen, it is important we are putting out exceptional quality dishes that exceed people's expectations.
"From the service side of things, I have an exceptional French manager who shares the same philosophy as me. When people come to Bel Cibo it is like welcoming them into your home – we want them to feel relaxed and really enjoy the experience,"
Other notable finalists included The Kitchen at the Port Douglas Surf Club for best restaurant in a pub/club/tavern, Port Douglas Catering and Events for best wedding caterer offsite and Whet Restaurant in Cape Tribulation for best contemporary Australian restaurant – informal. Hi Tide Cafe-Bar-Restaurant was also a finalist for best breakfast restaurant and best restaurant in a hotel/motel/
The Awards for Excellence are judged by a team of trained judges who anonymously visit venues to determine the winners. This year saw a hotly contested program with the best of the best receiving winner's acclaim. Restaurants were fielded into four regions, Northern Queensland, Brisbane/ Darling Downs, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Caterers competed within Northern Queensland and South East Queensland regions.

Defects in the genome are the cause of many diseases. Gene therapy direct replacement of mutant genes by intact DNA copies offers a means of correcting such defects. Now a research team based at the Medical Center of the University of Munich, and led by Privatdozent Dr. Carsten Rudolph, has taken a new approach that avoids DNA delivery. The team shows for the first time that chemical modification of mRNAs (the metabolically active molecules derived from genomic DNA that programs protein synthesis) provides a promising alternative to DNA-based procedures. In contrast to the latter, the modified RNAs do not increase the risk of cancer, and do not induce frequently observed severe immune reactions seen with DNA or unmodified mRNA. The researchers show that the new method is life-saving in mice with a congenital lethal lung defect. "These results clearly demonstrate the therapeutic potential of our mRNAs," says Rudolph. (Nature Biotechnology, 7 February 2011)
Gene therapy offers great potential for the treatment of both congenital and acquired diseases that are otherwise not amenable to other treatments. However, the approaches that have been tested so far are associated with serious side-effects. The use of engineered viruses to introduce intact genes into the cellular genome are associated with an increased risk of developing leukaemia, and can provoke strong immune reactions. Nonviral vectors, on the other hand, tend to be inefficient delivery vehicles. The new RNA-based method displays neither of these disadvantages. "Chemical modification of the mRNA prevents it from activating the immune system, so that no inflammatory reaction ensues," says Rudolph. "Furthermore, in contrast to conventional mRNA, the modified mRNA can be administered repeatedly, is more stable and is effective at very low doses."
The new method, referred to as Transcript Therapy by its inventors, opens up new opportunities for targeted treatments. The modified mRNA

Panel pursues compromise with farmers over bike path
A county panel moved Friday to determine whether some agreement could be reached with farmers that would allow a 25-mile bicycle trail planned for more than 10 years to be built through agricultural land.
"Our goal is to intertwine the two: meet the needs of the agricultural community and also meet the needs of the public," said Ventura County Transportation Commissioner Ralph Fernandez, who also is a councilman in Santa Paula.
The commission looked toward a compromise four months after strong opposition from farmers and Piru residents killed construction of a portion of the trail east of the small community. That defeat also called into question whether other portions could be built on farmland for the trail planned in railroad right of way running from Montalvo to Rancho Camulos. A moratorium on construction in farmland from Ventura to Piru expires in 2015.
The commissioners, predominantly county supervisors and members of city councils, voted unanimously to direct managers to prepare a notice advertising for a consultant. The individual or firm would update a master plan and environmental study approved in 2000, plus advise the commission and its staff on how to involve agricultural interests in the discussion.
Commissioners would review the notice before it is circulated, possibly in February or March. Officials had no estimate Friday of what the study could cost. In a staff report, they advised the update in light of tightened food-safety rules affecting growers.
Farmers and county Agricultural Commissioner Henry Gonzales cited those rules when the Ventura County Board of Supervisors weighed construction of a $1 million, 1-mile extension of the trail east of Piru. In a split vote in August, the board killed the project, which required the commission to return a $500,000 federal grant to the state. Ventura County officials paid a cancellation fee to the contractor of roughly $20,000.
The next body that will likely take up the question is a committee overseeing issues along the railroad right of way on behalf of the commission. The commission also decided to have that panel oversee all work associated with the recreational trail.
Gonzales said after the meeting that he agreed with the commission's decision. He said he would be involved in the discussions.
Lynn Jensen, executive director of the Ventura County Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business, said the trade group wants to be involved, as well. She warned, though, that food safety regulations are not the only problem with building bicycle trails in land that is actively being farmed. Among the other issues are pesticide risks, fencing to keep bicyclists and their pets off the fields, and safety of bicyclists in remote locations, she said.
She said land swaps and alternate locations should be pursued.
"We want to work it out," she said.
Others say the danger has been hyped, and argue that bike paths have been built elsewhere in farmland without any apparent risks to public safety.

Whither America: A Foreign Policy Debate Among Realists, Nationalists, and Internationalists
Recorded: Tuesday, May 6, 2014

George Washington University, Washington D.C.
"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing. To focus on these differences, The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and The Independent Institute in Oakland, California are hosting a debate among the various foreign policy traditions. Please join us for this necessary and timely debate."
