Agreed, WiiLovePeace. $15 for Super Mario Bros. with a cool twist is nothing. Throwing in these little mini games and a take on NES Championship is just an awesome bonus.

Wow, some of you are getting downright offended over this. Relax. It was a random selection, and it's for a bloody pizza. Is missing out on that really crushing your entire universe?
@KeeperBvK: Agreed, I thought it could be serious,but the fact that he called the Metroid's Samus just immediately makes it obvious it's all a joke.
These are pretty funny, no trout, but some of them are just cod awful.
What's with this trend of making Wii U ports a stretch goal?
To be fair, the Wii Punchout didn't have that. Skyward Sword matches the Zelda one perfectly, though
I don't even like turn based RPGs, and I might buy this. I tried it a little before, and the comedy is spot on. I just wish it were an ARPG, but ah well.
I need to get a 3DS...
Aw, I was hoping that Retro Studios was going to be doing this. Ah well, hopefully if it really is F-Zero it'll be good.
PLEASE be Prince of Persia. And PLEASE be good.
It doesn't look like they're going to make it, though :/
I seriously doubt Nintendo was actually worried about it. It was probably more of a lighthearted thing. Considering how he holds it in the final film (very daintily), it's possible the original had him holding it more rough and clumsy like.
And all across the Wii U user base, a collective "Eh." was heard.
I hope Pikmin 3 plays like the Pikmin game in Nintendoland. That game was really good.
@DarkKirby: But that was a pre rendered cutscene. We all know those aren't really how the game will be. They claimed all of this was how the game was actually going to look and play. They flat out lied, not mislead.
@GiftedGimp: Except after everything Gearbox did wrong, I don't think Sega would trust them with more money. Even if it did turn out well, people already lost interest. It wouldn't make even half the money back. At this point, it's better to just let it die quietly.
If the unit was to be recycled for some water bottles or some crap, what harm would it do if someone took it and used it? The reason recycling exists is so that things aren't left in landfills that could be used for other purposes. If it's being used for it's initial purpose and not filling a landfill, what's the problem?
@mariobro4: The fact that the game is terrible and no matter what they did to the Wii U version it'll still be a low mediocre at the unrealistically best?
After all the awful reviews (and from what I understand, Gearbox's outright lies to SEGA about what they were doing with the money), SEGA probably doesn't want to release it because they'd just lose more money.
Let's be honest, even if this version is actually fantastic and everything we thought it'd be, it would still do average at best in sales because everyone already lost interest and had their views tainted by the horrible reviews.
I'd prefer it doesn't ever come out. We don't need something like this damaging the Wii U's library.
"Please stop emailing me for a quote." - Tim Schafer
If the whole game is that funny, count me in.
Bought F-Zero yesterday, and just picked this up. There's no reason not to. I'll probably get Super Metroid and Kirby when they come out.
ProJared's thoughts on the game. He basically explains, or at least gives a very hard to dismiss theory, on why the game ended up so bad, and how the developers basically lied and hid the fact that the game was a mess.
NFC shouldn't be used as a way to gouge more money out of us. However, if NFC was added to different figures and collectibles from popular franchises and using it just added little bonuses and cool effects, then that would be cool. I buy gaming related figurines all the time. If they just also happened to interact with their respective companies games, that would be cool.
Nintendo owns the rights to the D-Pad, don't they? They could sue just for that, especially since it's near identical.
I love RUNNER, it's such a great game, but..... Ugh, I just hate the style and tone this game has taken. It left the whole "Retro Reboot" style behind and instead went with "We did all of the coke" style.
@Haxonberik, Scott Pilgrim on XBLA was really good, too. The Simpsons Game, The Incredibles, Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, Toy Story 2, and The World is Not Enough are all good too. Harry Potter 4 is also not terrible, if I remember correctly.
Let's not forget Spiderman 2, as well.
Exactly. Everyone should buy this game because it is actually a fantastic game. But buy it on the Wii U if you have the option, not on the others. Though it's rather doubtful, if the Wii U sales surpassed or at least met the sales of the other consoles, Ubisoft might stop thinking their games will fail on the platform.
I don't see the big deal. Yeah, it's a little lame, but to not buy the game? Relax. Support this game, don't be stupid. If you want exclusives to last on the Wii U, don't freak out over something so small. The game is still Wii U exclusive (and 3ds, but you know what I mean), and it hasn't been delayed.
By being whiny and boycotting the game, you're just going to damage the game's sales, and make Capcom think people don't want the game, or at least not on this console.
The problem isn't that they ported it, it's that the push is almost definitely just to port the game and have them all release simultaneously.
Yes, it sucks that it's no longer exclusive. It's a hard blow to the console. But is it really so bad? If the game is actually good, I'm glad others will get to experience it too. Besides, I'm pretty positive the WiiU version will still be definitive, since the game was developed with the tablet in mind. The other versions will most likely have some sort of shortcut or clunky control scheme to get around it.
Unless they change the Wii U version to match the other two more, or add a bunch of bonus stuff to the other two versions to make up for it, in which case, yeah, up yours Ubisoft.
I feel like the industry needs to stop assuming that low sales=bad product or marketing. People don't have a lot of spending money these days. They could've done everything right, and released it along side a new Zelda or Smash Bros, and I guarantee it still wouldn't have sold as well as they wanted.
As for Iwata leaving, I agree it sounds more like he's just not considering failure as an option and not that he'll step down. Iwata clearly has a passion for games, something other big developers seem to lack. I think Nintendo would be crazy to let him step down.
@Farmboy74: Unfortunately, I feel as though many "developers" will still view the Wii U as a family console, despite Nintendo's efforts to bring back long-time gamers, and thus, no matter what, we will continue to have these releases.
That said, I feel it may be on a much smaller scale than the Wii. Not only was the Wii U marketed more as a traditional console and not "HEY, YOUR GRANDMA CAN PLAY TOO! HOW 'BOUT DAT?!" but Miiverse seems to indicate that people aren't buying into this trash.
Say it with me, people: GREEDY!
Glad someone bought South Park. I was really scared the game would get canned.
@TrueWiiMaster I certainly hope so. At least, the developers of the games could have sales. If I'm not mistaken, Sega held a couple sales on the Wii VC at one point. I don't see why the same couldn't happen now.
Also, side thought. While it might be unlikely, wouldn't it be freaking amazing if split screen games allowed one player to be on the Gamepad alone, so their screen wouldn't appear on the TV? An option to toggle that would be even better.
I read somewhere that porting your Wii VC games to the Wii U would require a dollar or so in order to upgrade them for use with the Gamepad? Is that true?
@LordJumpMad While I agree they need to start doing something different, the gameplay in Zelda is ageless. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too samey now.
I'm glad Nintendo is trying to do different things, but I hope it's for the best.
That said, I do love Wind Waker, and if it has some substantial additions it might be worth it.
Why Wind Waker? It's the one game that will look good forever because of its style. Hell, this new HD edition will probably age faster than the original. I feel like Twilight Princess would've better suited the HD update.
Not entirely sure what the point is :/ The first game is so broken and hard to play, and the second game has such an improved vocabulary that playing the first game is completely pointless.
Yes please! I would love to see a more fleshed out, more expansive, polished ZombiU in the future.
Aside from Smash Bros, I still don't have a good reason to care about the Wii U. Especially when 2 of the biggest releases for the console are games I already have.
Hopefully Banjo will still be in the Xbox version. Actually, it'd be really awesome if Conker was added.
Or maybe Master Chief. Wouldn't be any more weird than Danica Patrick.
We can all guarantee that Pac Man will be playable, which I must say I'd quite like. I'm happy to hear Namco seems to actually care about this project and isn't just doing it for the cash.
Dude, Ain't That Funny is awesome. Love that song.
And to everyone mentioning the lack of Zelda, in my opinion, Skyward Sword had next to zero memorable music.

Chestnut used what emcee "Diamond Dave" Keating called a "shimmy shank" technique to move the food down his gullet, much the way a snake swallows an animal whole.
"The passion is raw but the ribs are cooked," Keating shouted as Chestnut went head-to-head with 2009 champion Pat "Deep Dish" Bertolleti, who downed 6.6 pounds of rib meat to take second place.
Chestnut holds the world record in rib competitions, which he secured in 2008 at the Nugget cook-off, when he ate 9.8 pounds of meat. He also is the No. 1 ranked competitive eater in the world.
The Nugget Rib Eating World Championship is officially sanctioned by Major League Eating and the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
"Major League Eating is the world body that oversees all professional eating contests," the organization's website, www.ifoce.com, states. "The organization, which developed competitive eating and includes the sport's governing body, the International Federation of Competitive Eating, helps sponsors to develop, publicize and execute world-class eating events in all variety of food disciplines."
Keating said competitive eating is the fastest-growing sport in the world.
"The era of the eater has begun," he said at the onset of Wednesday's face-stuffing festivities. "This is the Madison Square Garden of gurgitation."
The rules for the rib eating competition are simple: Competitors have 12 minutes to eat as much rib meat as possible, and they can bring their own beverages. The ribs are weighed before and after the contest to determine the exact amount of meat each competitor ingests.
Chestnut won $2,500 for his chewing and swallowing abilities, and Bertoletti took home a cool $1,000.
Third place and $750 went to a rookie, 19-year-old Matt Stonie, who consumed 6.35 pounds of meat. Fourth place and $500 was awarded to Erik "The Red" Denmark of Seattle, Wash., who ate 5.25 pounds of ribs. Fifth place and $250 went to Las Vegan Ron Koch.
Koch, who declined to give his age, but said he is "ancient," devoured 3.85 pounds of rib meat.
"I gotta show these young rookies that an old guy can still eat," Koch said prior to the competition.
Larry Koepke of Sparks tried his hand at the rib competition and said it was his first ever try at such a contest.
Koepke was unable to keep up with the professionals, but gave it a good try, finishing one tray of ribs and starting on a second by the time the 12-minute competition ended.
"It was absolutely harder than I thought it would be," Koepke said. "I didn't think I would have such a hard time."

The Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) is one of the largest international collections of archaeological and prehistoric finds from the Old World. Its treasures are displayed in the Neues Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin. The collections trace the development of prehistoric and protohistoric cultures from the Paleolithic period up to and into the High Middle Ages. Collection highlights include the famous skull of the Neanderthal from Le Moustier, Heinrich Schliemann's collection of Trojan antiquities, and the 'Berlin Gold Hat'. Recent finds from excavations in Berlin also include objects representing modern and contemporary history. The collection display in level 3 of the Neues Museum is currently being reorganized and will reopen in summer 2014. The renovations affect the display of objects from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, pre-Roman Iron Age, Berlin archaeology, and the study collection. The Vaterländischer Saal will remain open to the public and features the temporary display of the 'Berlin Gold Hat'. The collection of Trojan antiquities, the Cyprus collections, archaeological objects from the Roman provinces and Free Germania and the display of objects from the Migration Period up to the Early Middle Ages are also open for our visitors.

Location :
Red Bluff, California
Durango RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
A weekly rate. A great layout that is well thought out and easy to maneuver in the biggest rigs. Someone did some real planning when this park was designed with facilities placed in strategic locations. The landscaping, architecture, and simple amenities make it pleasant to stay. Utilities are up to spec and convenient. Sites are level, concrete, wide and long. Roads and sidewalks are paved. Staff is very accommodating and keeps the place picture perfect. We were here for 2 weeks and added a third. Supplies and food are within walking distance. We will return.
Camp Verde, Arizona
Distant Drums RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Roads are paved, concrete sites, mostly gravel (not dusty) everywhere else. Power, water pressure, hookup layout, cable, Wi-Fi, landscape and facilities are fine. It's a busy place and back-ins in the middle rows are close, but it's a unique layout and not confining. Staff is always busy for the betterment of the grounds. We'll be back.
Lake George, New York
Ledgeview Village RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This campground has a nice atmosphere. Utilities were up to spec, roads paved, our site was graveled with lots of shade, but some are concrete. The staff went out of their way to find us a site. It wasn't too hard navigating a 45' Motorhome. This campground is on our return list.
Central Bridge, New York
Hide-A-Way Campsites
[ 7/10 ]
The park has a country atmosphere. Easy driving with gravel roads and sites, some shady. The park was clean and well maintained, so much so, that management appears to favor the seasonals when it comes to navigating around the park. Just follow the driving rules, they are enforced. All utilities were up to specs, but had issues with the laundry machines. There are no sewer hook ups, but there is a dump station. A candy wagon makes the rounds but it costs. I haven't decided if I will return.
Round Rock, Texas
Old Settlers Park
[ 8/10 ]
This park has been our spot while visiting family. Length is great, but just adequate width for 2 slides at most sites. It's gravel and yes, some leveling blocks might be needed. Voltage is good, but not all sites have 50A. Water pressure is excessive, so use those regulators. Easy in/out; there's only one road and it's close to a highway. There are more sites on the other side of the office, but looks to be for storage. Any necessities are within a few minutes drive. Salt Lick BBQ within walking distance. There's few long term neighbors, but most sites are campers passing through. I saw a laundry near the park store, but it was closed.
Loysville, Pennsylvania
Paradise Stream Family Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Country living and atmosphere. The sites and roads were gravel. Utilities up to spec. There are several different styled sites. Some come with views from the hill others are shaded.
Winchester, Virginia
Candy Hill Campground
[ 3/10 ]
There are not many pluses for this park. It's convenient to stores and the bypass around Winchester. Sites are narrow for big rigs, roads are torn up paving and matching the camper size to the site could be better so the whole staffing should be improve. Water/electric are joint use so you could have a long run. We were here when the storms hit in early July. Some limbs were removed Sunday morning then nothing was done while we stayed a few more days. The park management seemed to be waiting for someone to come rescue them. Some RV occupants were actually barricaded in due to limbs falling outside their doors and roofs. Voltage was already low, but it went below 100V after the storm. Staff didn't seem to care after I told them. The whole park suffers from neglect.
Powhatan, Virginia
Cozy Acres Campground
[ 7/10 ]
The park is in the country on a farm or family owned land, so not many campers. Roads and sites are gravel and tight for a Motor home. Plenty of shade and utilities are up to spec, but bring your water regulator. The park is on a hillside and sites are mostly level, but I had to block the front tires. We weren't there long enough to use the facilities. I didn't feel welcome from the staff, but that could be the personality of folks in these parts. Wifi didn't work, no cable, cash/checks only and it's hard to find a satellite thru the trees. Someone said it and I'll reiterate NOTE...your GPS could direct you the long route. It's much easier to stay on 60, go west of HWY 13 and turn south on Ridge road.
Raleigh, North Carolina
North Carolina State Fairgrounds
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed in a newer area near the horse stalls (but not too close) which is an open pasture. Roads are wide, gravel and pretty dusty, but controllable by traffic. Our site was level, 45' long, but not too wide with some gravel and grass. There are some un-level sites and no facilities other than the FH utilities in this section. Wi-Fi worked for me, but you will need an external adapter. There are about 40 sites, but like other Fair Grounds, hundreds of sites scattered around the grounds.
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Riveredge RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Liked eveything but the tight turns/road width. Concrete pads and paved roads was great during the rains. You can also use the motel facilities across the road and it's 3 blocks from the street with the main attractions. It's on our return list.
Washington, North Carolina
Tranter's Creek Resort & Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Our site was not shaded. It was sand, grass, but not level. Plenty of length to pull through, but not well defined. Utilities were good and gravel roads with some tight turns. It's a gated park.
Frisco, North Carolina
Frisco Woods Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Our site was sand, grass and level in the front area of the grounds. Staff was nice. Utilities worked fine and power was up to spec. Pretty tight driving through in a motorhome, but one headache was people parking in the narrow roads. There is ample room for parking off the roads. I'm still debating if I would return.
Montgomery, Alabama
Capital City RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Roads are paved or in the process of, sites are gravel, level and wide. Good utility factors except for high water pressure. Easy to maneuver in.
Vicksburg, Mississippi
River Town Campground
[ 8/10 ]
We still like it. Gravel roads and sites that are easy to get around. Good utility factors.
Forsyth, Georgia
Forsyth KOA
[ 7/10 ]
Enjoyed 4 nights. Utility factors are fine except you might need a water regulator (didn't measure pressure). Roads are paved and narrow, but with a guide we made it to the big rig portion in the back with not problems. Plenty of site length for a 45' motor home and car. This park is on a hill, so sites are stair stepped, but plenty wide. Fact is the whole area is hilly. Neighbors were civilized and because of the tree buffer, no road noise even though I75 is near. The old portion of the park is heavily shaded, but short sites. It's on our return list.
Desert Hot Springs, California
Sands RV and Golf Resort (55+ Park)
[ 7/10 ]
Roads and sites are paved. Good utilities, Wi-Fi, and nice staff. Sites are narrow with hedges between each site. Pretty challenging to navigate and back-in a 45ft. MH. Many camp models and permanent living with the RV sites mixed in. Probably try another Park next time.
Williams, Arizona
Canyon Motel & RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Campground is on RT66 in Williams. Sites and roads are gravel and mostly level. Utilities were fine. Easy driving inside the park. The motel (really cabins) are RT66 originals. We will return.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Cottonwood Spring (NPS Campground)
[ 7/10 ]
Roads were paved, BUT watch out if you're in a low ground clearance MH. Speed bumps are also storm water crossings. Sites are back-in and pullout, not pull throughs. Well kept with nice National Park camping atmosphere. There is generator run times, then quiet hours. We will return.
Goshen, Indiana
Elkhart County Fairgrounds
[ 8/10 ]
Roads are paved, sites are level, long and gravel. Good voltage, water pressure, Wi-Fi and location of H/U. Showers and bathrooms are located in the exhibition buildings and quite a hike, but nice. Easy drive from the major roads. We were not here during the fair, so I surprised they would allow stays. About 50 sites were open during the non fair season. It's on our return list.
Murfreesboro, Arkansas
Crater of Diamonds State Park
[ 8/10 ]
We liked it. Paving everywhere and easy to get around. There is plenty of shade. There are tent pads at some sites. I heard the camping area has just reopened after a 2 year restore. Looks like it. The online registration system has incorrect site information. Call the park. The length was fine. Wish the sites were a bit wider (fewer trees).
Bakersfield, California
Bakersfield River Run RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Weekly rate noted. This is a fairly new park. Friendly, accommodating staff and the park is well maintained. Easy getting around on paved roads with gravel and level sites. Wi-Fi service was OK, good voltage and almost too low water pressure. All amenities and areas were clean including the pool and hot tub. Easy getting to and from Hwy. 99. We will add this park to our return list.
Santee, California
Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve
[ 9/10 ]
Monthly rate noted. Friendly, accommodating staff and the park is well maintained. Santee Lakes is a public, walk-in park and has multi use buildings, so there's more to it than just the camping area. Gated area. Most pull through (sites #200+) wide enough to open the slides and park the car next to the camper or long enough to keep the tow attached. Easy getting around on paved roads with gravel and level sites, but muddy after a rain. Wi-Fi service was OK, good voltage and almost too high water pressure. All amenities and areas were clean including the pool and hot tub. This was a delightful find so close to San Diego, although Santee has all the big box stores, food and other necessities.
Weatherford, Texas
Oak Creek RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Very easy off/on I-10 and looks to be a new park. Roads are paved and level, concrete sites. Easy to maneuver with some tight turns. Good Wi-Fi, water pressure and voltage. Staff was nice and they escort you to your site. It is on our return list.
Anthony, Texas
American RV & Marine Resort & Rally Park
[ 6/10 ]
It is located on I-10, but not easy access. Behind Camping World. Good water pressure and voltage. This park is a big graveled parking lot with power pedestals. The staff ask you to drive slow because they know dust is a problem. We will try another location next time.
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Hacienda RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Easy off/on I-10. Paved roads and level gravel sites that have a hedge between every other site. Good Wi-Fi, water pressure and voltage. Black water had to flow uphill. Easy to get around. Clean, modern facilities and grounds. This park is on our return list.
Tucson, Arizona
Adventure Bound Camping Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Easy off/on I-10. Paved roads and level gravel sites. Good water pressure and voltage. Tight turns, narrow roads and sites hard to get into. Trees need trimming. Many seasonal and permanent guests. It is not on our return list.
Black Canyon City, Arizona
Black Canyon Ranch RV Resort (formerly Bradshaw Mountain RV Resort)
[ 8/10 ]
Friendly, accommodating staff. Small town atmosphere. Many returning seasonal guests are friends. Our site, while not typical, was a pull through with plenty of room. Most sites are not this wide but easy getting around. Paved roads, gravel and level sites, good Wi-Fi, voltage and water pressure. All amenities and areas were clean including the pool and hot tub. Easy off/on from I-17. Bring your ATV if your into that. It is on our return list.
Alamosa, Colorado
Alamosa KOA
[ 8/10 ]
The staff was very friendly and the whole park was clean. Sites and roads are gravel and level. We would stay again.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This place has the country setting about 10 miles from anything which is my type of camping. We were in a premium site which means a pull through that has parallel parking. Lots of room at all sites. Roads are dirt with gravel sites. I thought the park layout was innovative since it's in the Foothills.
Bayfield, Colorado
Bayfield Riverside RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
No issues here. The sites are not well defined and the parking can be confusing, but it was dark when we arrived. Lots of vehicles other than campers makes for close contacts. Sites are gravel and grass. Nice staff.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
American RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Staff was nice. Sites were narrow for our TT and slide in the older part, but that's all they had. We didn't want to stay in the new addition. Pull thru sites are long enough for our tow and TT. Everything else was fine.
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
[ 6/10 ]
We were in a Deluxe site, not Preferred, meaning the front half of the pad is paved and the other portion gravel. Not considering the location and Pixy Dust, the roads are narrow and paved. Disney added road base and pads over a swamp and you are mainly limited to the man made areas. Parking at sites is very limited and no overflow parking. Voltage and water pressure was fine. The park is clean and has ground transportation to the main public area which has no parking for vehicles. I don't know when it was built, but believe it was years ago for smaller RV's. I wouldn't stay again if I couldn't get the Cast Member discount. I did enjoy hearing all the kids having fun.
Kissimmee, Florida
Sherwood Forest RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
Our premium site was not paved, but very wide. Staff was OK, but it's a busy place. Roads were gravel. Might try it again.
Cedar Creek, Texas
Hwy 71 RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Friendly staff, held my reservation without deposit. Sites have different layouts, but ours was a pull thru, pretty level, gravel, wide and open. Shade in other areas. Roads are paved with plenty of room to maneuver. Good voltage and water pressure, but sewer location was for something other than a TT. Not much Hwy 71 noise even though the park is next to the highway. Lots of extended stays, but the management seems to dedicate different areas for long and short stays. Gated and fenced. Pool, showers, playground and other amenities for the family. Big stores and restaurants near by. We will return.
Long Key, Florida
Fiesta Key Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Nice grounds with nice staff. Sites and roads are plenty wide. Not much shade, but we were at an offwater site. Lots of other amenities.
Key West, Florida
Bluewater Key RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Rate was actually $140. The staff was nice. I don't know what to add to the other reviews. I would rate it a 10 if the sites were wider.
Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Shady Cove RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This park in on a hill, but generally level. Sites are long and roads are wide with gravel. Electricity had good voltage and good water pressure. Lots of shade. There were some longtimers and older trailers, but they are spotty. We will return.
Vicksburg, Mississippi
River Town Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Staff was nice and easy to find. Sites and roads are wide with gravel and plenty of maneuvering room. Electricity had good voltage, but you might need a regulator for the water pressure. Cable has about 10 channels. Wi-Fi worked intermittly. There isn't any shade, but it's not a parking lot either. We will return.
Naples, Florida
Naples / Marco Island KOA
[ 5/10 ]
The staff is friendly. There are roo many structures for the area. My slide is touching the next site's awning. The sites are grass with concrete porches.
Rusk, Texas
Rusk Depot Campground (formerly Rusk State Park - Rusk Unit)
[ 8/10 ]
Typical Texas SP camping, but I think the railroad organization now operates the park. Pick ur site, lots of shade, some pull thru sites that are partially paved. Good water pressure, electric voltage and easy driving. Having the train close was a nice adder. Rusk is on our return list.
Plattekill, New York
New York City North / Newburgh KOA
[ 7/10 ]
Our pull-thru sites were long, level, graveled and not very wide because of trees. Good water pressure and voltage. Our area had lots of trees, but some areas are open. Staff was nice, but pretty stretched out because of the off season. Had to move to a different site after several days so a VIP could have our site. They showed up as we were leaving, so reservation system could be better. It's a 20 minute drive to Beacon Sta. and a 1.5 hour train ride down the Hudson River to NYC. We were there during Halloween and other campers seemed comfortable letting kids trick or treat. We will be back.
Brookline, New Hampshire
Field and Stream RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
The park was OK, but the staff wasn't friendly. Way overburdened with rules because of all the permanent residents. Sites were gravel and level. Best part was Parkers Sugerhouse just down the road. We will find another park on our next visit to the Boston area.
Old Forge, New York
Old Forge Camping Resort
[ 7/10 ]
A private campground with a state park atmosphere in a hilly area. Staff was friendly and campground was kid oriented. Seemed to be a regular place for return visitors. Our site was a long, wide, gravel backin in a forested area. Good water pressure and voltage. We arrived at night and left early, so we didn't see alot of the park. it is on our return list.
Austin, Texas
Austin Lone Star RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Level, gravel sites that are wide with privacy buffers (hedges). Our pull-thru was 70 ft. long. Narrow, paved roads. Friendly staff. High water pressure, good voltage and sewer hookup. Swimming pool was open in February, but didn't try it. Very full with some extended stay visitors. Probably popular with winter TX visitors. Gated with an access card. Many facilities near by. Cable free with site and pay for Wifi.
Plattekill, New York
New York City North / Newburgh KOA
[ 8/10 ]
We stayed in the woods portion in the park. Quiet, wide, well laid out park with tree buffers between sites. Water pressure, voltage and sewer hookup was fine. WiFi was weak and you have to subscribe. Roads are paved and had tight turns, but OK. Staff was friendly, but we had to move for a VIP camper after a few days. Used this location to go to NYC. We will keep this park on our return list.
Elmer, New Jersey
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Tall Pines
[ 6/10 ]
Our site was in the middle of a sandy, open field. No road base at site or on the roads. Staff couldn't access the reservation list or we could have had a nicer spot. Lots of Halloween trash and after 3 days there was no attempt to clean it. That brought the bees. Water pressure was low, voltage and sewer hookup was fine. No WiFi at the site. Not close to any towns. We'll pass this campground next time.
Meridian, Mississippi
Benchmark RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Pull thrus had plenty of room to leave the tow and TT attached. Pads are concrete, wide and level, roads are gravel with plenty of room to maneuver. Power voltage, WiFi and security was fine. You need a regulator to control water pressure. Quiet grounds and friendly staff. They brought me a card I dropped at the office. We were just passing thru, but we will keep this park on our list of places to stay.
Greenfield, Indiana
Indianapolis KOA
[ 6/10 ]
Won't return.
Newburg, Missouri
Arlington River Resort
[ 7/10 ]
The 3-4 miles of partially paved road to the grounds is pretty rough, but it's not Arlington's fault. Old Rte.66 I heard. These grounds are a large, open, grassy pasture. Little shade, but in bottom land. Power voltage and water pressure was fine. The sites are not defined as most parks, but power pedestals were about 40' apart. Gravel roads. Access to James River. We'll return.
Carthage, Missouri
Big Red Barn RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Roads, sites are gravel and level. Power voltage and water pressure was fine. Some privacy barriers between sites even tho this is a parking lot style camp. We were passing thru, so didn't spend much time here. We'll return.
Sand Springs, Oklahoma
Keystone Lake State Park
[ 9/10 ]
Great state park atmosphere. Sites level and paved. Power voltage and water pressure was fine. Shade, views of lake and stores close. We'll be back
North Tonawanda, New York
AA Royal Motel & Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Sites and roads are paved, level and deep enough for my 30' TT. Pull thru sites are longer. Power voltage, water pressure and shade was fine. Clean area, grounds manicured and hotel maintained. Only issue was my wife heard the dog kennel next door, but a little added background noise fixed that. No road noise and easy to get on/off main hwy. We'll return.
Bastrop, Texas
Bastrop / SE Austin / Colorado River KOA
[ 3/10 ]
Paved roads and level sites. Lots of pull thrus. Many permanent residents. Arrived after hours, gate code didn't work from outside and no attendant on site. 1st power pedestal had issues, burned my plug and it was my fault. Waited hour for someone to help and he wasn't very friendly. Waited 2 hours after opening time and no one showed. Left, but paid few days later. Too much hassle for me to stay again.
Bastrop, Texas
North Shore Park
[ 8/10 ]
State park atmosphere. Sites are long and wide, shady, secluded and paved. Paved roads, good water pressure, close to lake and pier. Sites are not very level, no store on site, but close. Each site has graveled areas, fire rings, tables and trees. Good for kids.
Burnet, Texas
Big Chief RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
most sites shady and level, paved roads, pool area is something else, wide sites, take Passport
Bastrop, Texas
Colorado River RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This park is still being developed. Friendly staff, some paved roads & level sites, easy access & maneuvering, almost all sites are pull-thrus. Good water pressure & site layouts, country setting. Colorado River access, near boat ramp. No shade, few amenities, some road noise and a few long timers.
Burnet, Texas
Big Chief RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Level, wide, graveled sites. Some shaded. Paved roads and easy maneuvering. Locked, coded gate. Good water pressure. Hot tub and swimming pool that compliment the natural rock surroundings. Store, rally and fitness room, laundry. Boat ramp. Pull-thru and water front sites cost more.
Concan, Texas
Parkview Riverside RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Very friendly staff and quick to respond Easy walking in the park. Let me pick my spot to camp. Good access to Frio River. Sites are gravel, roads paved. WiFi worked fine in our isolated area. Store has rv supplies and food.
Marble Falls, Texas
Sunset Point on Lake LBJ
[ 7/10 ]
Nice place. Great lakeside atmosphere and open walking areas. Good water pressure, long, level concrete pads. The staff could be more friendly...they have changed since our previous stays. Seemed to want to find an issue. Screened our TT before letting us enter. Didn't give me gate code after late check-in. Not the warm, fuzzy feeling as before. They had no computer access after hours, so no sites info.
Paducah, Kentucky
Duck Creek RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
Big graveled level lot with hookups. All pull thrus. No frills, but OK! Attendant was nice.
Park City, Kentucky
Diamond Caverns Resort and Golf Club
[ 8/10 ]
Roads are paved or gravel. Sites are mostly level concrete or gravel with a few back to back sites. Good water pressure. Gated and guarded. Easy access from roads and interstate, but no noise. Miniature golf, hot tub, big exercise facility. Golf course and Diamond Caverns near by. Small store. Park is showing some age. They also own Cedar Hill Campground, but it is closed.

How SOAR Controls Feelings
We human beings are born with only half of the emotion regulation system in place, the part that revs us up. The part of the brain that will later calm us down does not exist. Its physical development begins at ten months, and is completed by eighteen months.
Calming Has To Be Learned
During this time, caregivers provide calming. Slowly, the infant memorizes the steps caregivers use. Caregivers � regardless how much they care � vary in ability to provide effective calming. As a result, on a scale of zero to ten, a few of us develop a �ten� level of ability to calm ourselves. This means there is an ability to automatically control anxiety.
Without Optimal Self-Calming
Most of us get far less. But we can compensate for getting less than a "ten" in two ways:
1. Control. We try to remove uncertainty by controlling every situation.
2. Escape. If control is not assured, we make sure there is a way to get out, in case it is needed.
Flying Takes Away Our Means To Compensate
Flying takes away our ability to compensate. We have no control of the plane. We have no way to escape the plane.
The Answer
People who got a "ten" don't have trouble when they fly. Their ability to calm themselves automatically was built in before age two. That points to the answer: build in more automatic calming so you can fly like they do.
High anxiety and panic develop rapidly. The only way to prevent distress when flying is adequate calming that works unconsciously and automatically.
SOAR teaches you how to control the feelings automatically. Once automatic control is established, you will fly - no matter how doubtful you may be now - like everyone else does. When you fly, you will be amazed. You will wonder what happened to the feelings.

Had a wonderful afternoon/evening in the Olympic Park. Not usually a fan of being among large crowds of people, but there was such a festival atmosphere. Security checks were a breeze and really there was no wait to get inside.
There is actually a massive shopping centre right next to the park and we had an hour or two there. Had lunch in a Japanese place and the store manager recognised Mr. allezfred from his blog. They had actually e-mailed each other, but Mr. allezfred had no idea where the person worked and the person had no idea Mr. allezfred would be in London. It was ever so random when the person approached us to talk.
Loads of athletes, coaches, families and hangers-on around the centre and there was a real buzz about the place. At one point we passed the volunteer on her high chair that has been doing the rounds on Youtube. She was blasting out the Jackson Five on her boombox.
We had really nice seats just above the 100m start line. There was what appeared to be a big group of corporate hotshots whose sole purpose in attending the event tonight seemed to be to drink beer and watch Jessica Ennis. Literally, the second she finished her events they were off and never to be seen again.
I was sitting next to lovely woman from Zimbabwe who works in Dubai. Apparently she thought I knew something about athletics. Unlike other athletics championships everything is quite spaced out so there is plenty of time to enjoy the different events. Highlight of the night was David Storl, silver medallist in the shot put, nearly mowing down two of the backmarkers in the 10000m final on his way to celebrate his medal.
The journey home was a bit epic. We avoided the route we came as it looked as if an ocean of people were heading that direction. We hiked to a different station and got home about an hour and a half after we left the stadium. I suppose given the circumstances it wasn't too bad.
The Olympic experience is fantastic. Had it once in Torino and while that was very special I have to say I'm enjoying this more. Cheesy and all as it sounds it really is where the whole world comes together to party!

Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy Zimbabwe
Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy Zimbabwe
The Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy Trust (MBRC) is situated in the heart of Zimbabwe. The area consists of 63 000 ha (156 000 acres) of bush and farmland bounded by the Munyati River on the northern boundary and the Sebakwe River on the southern boundary with Lake Sebakwe and its Recreational Park in the middle. It is located 50kms north east of Kwe Kwe which is 200kms south of the country's capital city of Harare.
A group of twelve farms joined together in the late 1980s to form the Conservancy. As well as black rhino a small herd of elephant, pride of lions, a healthy population of leopard and sable and a good cross-section of plains game including kudu, impala, eland, giraffe and zebra are on the conservancy. Each farmer has taken down internal game fence and makes monthly contributions to the cost of anti-poaching activities and protection of the Black Rhino, all other wildlife and the natural environment.
With only a few black rhino in the MBRC it is the intention over the next few years to build up the herd to a sustainable breeding nucleus. Since inception the Conservancy has had the continued support of the UK-based Sebakwe Black Rhino Trust which was set up in 1989 primarily to help conserve black rhinos. Other well-wishers assisted in various forms among which are Toyota Zimbabwe, Save the Rhino Australia and recently Midwest Rhinos Cricket Franchise. As a small organisation with a limited field of operation you can see where every pound, dollar or euro received is spent and how donors are making a real difference to actual events on the ground.
The Trust was instrumental in developing the Sebakwe Conservation and Education Centre located on the southern boundary of the Conservancy. It plays a significant role in wildlife education and community development. Through skilled wildlife and environmental officers it provides courses and practical knowledge on fauna and flora to visiting schools and other educational establishments. Over the past five years community development projects have been undertaken including the construction new schools, drilling of boreholes and the development of health centres and clinics, as well as self-help projects such as bee-keeping. Medical goods, learning materials (books and writing pads) school furnishings and clothes have also been provided as part of community development by the Conservancy. These community development projects have raised awareness among surrounding communities leading to reduced poaching and environmental degradation.
Aims of the Conservancy:
1. Re-fencing of the Conservancy.
2. Establishment of a sustainable black rhino breeding nucleus.
3. Development of the already present leopard, sable and plains game.
4. Natural habitat education and local community awareness of environment and wildlife.
5. The need to increase scout numbers and have a reliable transport for security for tacking and reaction purposes.
In order to realise these aims MBRC is seeking donations from well-wishers and potential working relationships. MBRC has not lost a rhino for the past five years which is a HUGE accomplishment!!! A new little rhino was actually born on the Conservancy on 18th "February 2013!This article first appeared in the e-newsletter of African Indaba. Get a free subscription.

Sounds like great work. I had feared the Black Rhino had gone extinct.

4. Anime: At the age 4, my favorite shows were "Sailor Moon" and "Dragon Ball Z." Flash forward to when I was 12, I saw the live action version of "Sailor Moon" ("Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon") which inspired me to watch all the Sailor Moon episodes in Japanese. Then one after another, I relived my Cartoon Network anime days and then found new anime to watch.
Music: "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon" live action drama got me into the songs fast and I began singing them too. I then discovered Morning Musume, Aya Hirano, and a few more. I even got into K-Pop like Girls Generation and 2NE1.
Games: Well, I don't play games. I don't even have a console. But i love looking at the covers of boxes because of the art when I go to Game Stop with my brothers! Does that count?

Hello people!
My name is Paul. I'm 25/m, and I live in Ky.
Not entirely sure what I really like anymore... I used to be really into anime and video games when I was younger, but I haven't been as interested lately. I'm trying to get back into now, and I just started watching Brave 10 and I'm liking it a lot so far.
Other interests of mine include: reading, writing, photography, some very basic web design, biking, coffee, sushi, and probably more.
I'm not sure, but I think the first anime I saw was Cowboy Bebop. I'd say it's still my all time favorite.
Oh, and I just finished creating my profile skin. What do you think?
For my writing and photography, you can visit me here.
Hi all! I just found out about this site and I'm very excited to get back into anime.
1. My name is Ignacio, but most folks just call me Iggy.
2. Just turned 28, male, American currently living in Wellington, New Zealand.
3. I'm a previs animator who gets to work on fun movies, so that's a fun talking point! I'm also weird, so there's a weird thing about me.
4. Saint Seiya got me into anime - when I was a kid visiting Mexico, I'd always watch it on tv in Spanish (where it was known as "Los Caballeros del Zodiaco!) That led me to Record of Lodoss War which then led to Eva and by then I was completely hooked for a long long time until life got in the way.
Hope to talk to you folks more!
Hi everyone I'm Olly.
1. 20 something live in UK
2. Er, I often sleep with my eyes open I guess that's pretty weird???

Brenner denied another term
Date: May 5, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
In the end, David Brenner's resignation as chairman of the Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce's Economic Development Council wasn't enough.
The Longboat Key Town Commission decided not to re-appoint the town's current Planning and Zoning Board chairman to a second, three-year term at its Monday, May 4 regular meeting.
Brenner, 73, took to the stand before the decision was made, making his case for a second term.
"In the three years I have served on the planning board, among other things we have created a visioning plan, which led to the adoption of the recent referenda that will create tourism opportunities," Brenner said.
Those looking for confirmation on some of Brenner's work only had to look at the meeting agenda, which earlier in the evening included first reading and public hearings on voluntary rebuild- and tourism-unit-pool ordinances that were approved unanimously by the commission.
"My only goal for both organizations has been what's best for Longboat Key," Brenner said. "I implore you to put aside personal conflicts that have been perceived and make appointments for the best interests of the citizens. They deserve no less."
But the plea didn't do enough to assuage the majority of commission members who were looking to shake up the dynamic of a nine-member board that just recently added John Redgrave and Morton Siegler to the mix.
Mayor Lee Rothenberg, Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann and Commissioners Gene Jaleski and Hal Lenobel voted for Zoning Board of Adjustment board members Patricia Zunz and Phineas Alpers to take planning board seats instead of Brenner. And, planning board member John Wild was re-appointed to a second three-year term.
Siekmann explained that in recent months, the planning board had been acting "as an activist group," which he realized helped spread the word for two charter amendments that voters approved in March 2008.
"But the role of this board as an activist group is finished and it's time for this board to transition back to a traditional group," Siekmann said.
After the meeting, Brenner called Siekmann's comments "a bunch of smoke and mirrors."
"There is nothing the planning board has ever done that we didn't get permission from the commission to do," Brenner said.
Brenner said he believes the real reason he did not get re-appointed "stems from a group driven by personal motives."
"The bottom line is the planning board accomplished a lot of things in a relatively short period of time and that has demonstrated how ineffective the commission has become," Brenner said. "I hope the commission's behavior of late will act as a wakeup call to the residents of this Key, who have a golden opportunity by means of elections to shape the commission in the coming years."
Siekmann said he was bothered by accusations that there was a personal vendetta against Brenner.
"We have not done a huge disservice to Mr. Brenner," Siekmann said. "We now have more volunteers than we have ever had before."
However, the commission only appointed two out of 11 newcomers, while reappointing four board members and transferring two zoning board members over to its planning board.
Commissioners George Spoll, Peter O'Connor and Jim Brown, all former planning board members who nominated Brenner, were upset with the outcome.
"I am embarrassed for this commission on what it did to Mr. Brenner today," Spoll said.
Then, planning board members B.J. Webb and John Redgrave made their way out of the room, shaking their heads with looks of disgust on their faces.
In total, 11 newcomers vied for seats on the town's three boards and a pension board seat. Those residents included Andrew Aitken, Gaele Barthold, Rosemary Dilgard, Patrick Mellett, Chuck Nechtem, Lee Pokoik, Richard Weber, Woody Wolverton, Thomas Murphy, Reina Berman and Shannon Gault.
Only Barthold and Gault received appointments.

Skarmory takes flight once more to block almost every physical hit thrown at it. Steel / Flying is an awesome type combination that only has two crippling weaknesses, while Sturdy has received a nice buff that allows Skarmory to take an otherwise fatal hit if it's at full health. Finally, no other wall packs a recovery move, access to Spikes and Stealth Rock, a phazing move, and a unique typing like Skarmory. The metagame may have slowly geared itself towards special attackers, such as Reuniclus, and some physical attackers have acquired new ways to get around Skarmory, but Skarmory still gets the job done.
Tried and true, this still stands as Skarmory's best set. After Skarmory makes its presence known on the battlefield, the opponent will likely run away in fear of the metal bird's superb Defense. Skarmory should first lay Spikes to force the opponent to make a rather painful decision when switching in and out of the battlefield. Roost can wear out Life Orb users, such as Metagross and Gyarados, while keeping Skarmory in shape for the next assault. Whirlwind is great for either phazing Pokemon such as Bulk Up Conkeldurr or merely shuffling for extra entry hazard damage. Brave Bird ties it all together by giving Skarmory a high Base Power STAB move that handles threats nicely, especially Fighting-types such as Breloom and Toxicroak. If you're deathly afraid of being set up on by Wobbuffet or want to prevent other Pokemon from setting up, Taunt may be a superior choice over Brave Bird.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The banning of Deoxys-D brought a dearth of effective leads that can set Stealth Rock and Spikes quickly and reliably. Enter Custap Lead Skarmory: the second-fastest Pokemon allowed in OU that gets access to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, bested only by Smeargle. With a maximum Speed of 262, Skarmory can outrun many common leads, and even without much investment in Defense Skarmory still has respectable physical bulk, allowing it to comfortably tank physical blows as it sets entry hazards up. Even if the opponent should happen to lead with a specially-based Pokemon, the combination of Sturdy and Custap Berry nearly guarantees that Skarmory will get Stealth Rock and at least one layer of Spikes up. This combination of traits are also its main draw for use as an entry hazard-setting lead over the slightly faster Smeargle, which has to rely on Focus Sash to take a hit, robbing it of the benefits brought about by Custap Berry.
This Skarmory works similarly to Deoxys-D and other suicide leads: it aims to set up Stealth Rock and as many layers of Spikes as possible before fainting. The other two moves help Skarmory's situation versus opposing leads. Brave Bird prevents Skarmory from being complete Taunt bait while acting as a means by which Skarmory can KO itself from 1 HP so an opposing spinner can't spin away Skarmory's entry hazards. Taunt stops slower leads from setting up entry hazards while giving Skarmory a 50% chance of preventing any opposing Breloom from using Spore on it due to a Speed tie.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Since Skarmory's base Defense is naturally quite high, this EV spread buffers its weaker Special Defense. Physical sweepers can still be checked despite the loss of physical bulk, but 2HKOs are a bit more prevalent. The set is meant to work around bulky Water-types, but it works well against Choice users that are locked into a resisted attack as well. Simply come in like usual, set up Spikes or Roost to recover lost health, and use Skarmory's other moves whenever necessary. Be careful when using Brave Bird on this set, as bulky Water-types sometimes use Scald to induce a burn on the opponent. Taunt variants won't mind it much aside from the health loss, but a weakened Brave Bird makes it harder to kill some physical sweepers.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Stealth Rock can replace Spikes on the defensive sets if you want Skarmory to set up as quickly as possible. Drill Peck can replace Brave Bird if the recoil turns you off. Toxic helps Skarmory eliminate threats and works well against certain Pokemon, such as Wobbuffet, Politoed, and Jellicent switch-ins. Rocky Helmet deserves a special mention because it can easily punish Pokemon like Scizor using U-turn or Outrage users. Don't bother with any stat-up moves; Skarmory is already vulnerable to Taunt and lacks the movepool to use them effectively anyway.
Checks and Counters
Magnezone is the textbook definition of a counter to Skarmory. It traps Skarmory with Magnet Pull, uses STAB Electric-type attacks to OHKO Skarmory, and resists every usable attack in Skarmory's movepool. Outside of Shed Shell, the only chance Skarmory has against Magnezone is Whirlwinding if Sturdy is active. Wobbuffet traps Skarmory too but isn't a big fan of Taunt, although it can Encore Spikes and Tickle Skarmory to death. After 6 Tickles, Skarmory takes 75.4% – 88.9% if it tries switching out from Choice Band Tyranitar's Pursuit. Specially defensive variants of Skarmory might as well kiss their tin asses goodbye.
Zapdos is immune to Spikes, packs STAB Thunderbolt, can heal itself with Roost, and can even counter-phaze if necessary with Roar. All of the Rotom formes have Will-O-Wisp and STAB Thunderbolt going against Skarmory and avoid passive damage from Spikes thanks to Levitate. Politoed changes the weather and attacks with powerful neutral Water-type attacks. Fire-types hate entry hazards in general but counter Skarmory very well. Heatran hates Spikes, but it can shut down the process with Taunt and singe the metal birdie with STAB Fire Blast. Ninetales doesn't get Taunt but, it will scare it away just as quickly and can spread burns with Will-O-Wisp.
Another way to deal with Skarmory is to just get rid of its entry hazards. Starmie can use Rapid Spin to blow away Skarmory's entry hazards, use Recover to shrug off Brave Birds, and threaten Skarmory with Thunderbolt or its Water-type move of choice. Forretress can exploit Skarmory to lay hazards of its own, and it can also use Rapid Spin. Tentacruel does the same thing. Espeon and Xatu might not like taking Brave Birds, but they can reflect Spikes back with their Magic Bounce ability.
Since Skarmory is a defensive Pokemon, it's hard to directly counter it because it will only come out of the nest when it knows it's safe. This makes the concept of luring vital to getting through Skarmory. For example, a stat-booster like Gyarados or Gliscor can use Taunt to beat Skarmory when they would otherwise be walled. Scizor can use Swords Dance and Superpower on an unsuspecting Skarmory. Jirachi can use Thunderbolt in a similar fashion. Pokemon like Tyranitar, Dragonite, and Salamence can use Fire Blast to surprise it. Generally, you want to attack its weaker Special Defense with an Electric- or Fire-type move.
