Faith, Hope, Love, and Yarn: September 2012
In the 1939 movie adaption of the book The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy utters a similar phrase to her pet dog, Toto. Dorothy had just emerged from her tornado devastated house to see the wonderful, yet strange, land of Oz. Dorothy, who had spent her entire childhood on a farm in Kansas, found things in Oz to be similar to her home, but always with an unexpected twist. Things look slightly different, which is emphasized in the movie as the scenes in Oz were filmed with color film and the Kansas scenes were filmed in black and white. People also talk slightly different in Oz, as the people are prone to speak in rhymes. And the vegetation is also slightly different. One of my favorite scenes is when Dorothy meets Oz apple trees. As she travels down the yellow brick road to see the wizard in Emerald City, she becomes hungry and sees some apple trees on the side of the road. But instead of being able to just pick the apples, the trees start to talk to her, asking her how she would feel if someone just came up to her and pulled on her hair. Everything is familiar to Dorothy, but also slightly different.
I am feeling slightly like Dorothy in Oz. Canada is similar to the United States, but slightly different. The language is slightly different, but still English (I am glad that British Columbia is part of the English-speaking part of Canada because I do not know French). But phrasing is slightly different here. Instead of asking where the “rest room” is, I try to remember to say “wash room.” Listening to the Canadian accent has been fantastic! The mid-west accent that I speak with is very flat, which is great for public speaking but kind of boring. The Canadian accent, on the other hand, is very musical as it goes up and down. If I'm not paying attention, I already find that I want to adopt this accent and use it myself.
Picture taken after I retreated inside
The wildlife in <town> is also just slightly different than Iowa. Iowa is also overrun by deer, and we have cougars. But instead of wolves, we have coyotes. Instead of moose we have racoons – which aren't very similar at all. But the most similar wildlife, deer, is also what I find the strangest. In Iowa, deer aren't afraid of people but they do keep their distance. But in <town>, the deer will come right up to you! The other day I was petting a stray cat right outside my suite's door, when suddenly a baby deer and mother deer was right next to me, sniffing at the cat. I was torn between being startled by their sudden appearance and glad that I had my camera on me at the time.
The landscape and climate is the most dramatic change that I have encountered so far. Iowa is pretty flat, with very few hills and is landlocked. <Town> is on an island, with mountains. In the nice September weather, I have already taken hundreds of pictures of the the river, the bay, and the surrounding mountains. So far, I have greatly enjoyed the weather here. The sun has been out most days, with the occasional fog in the morning. It has rained here and there, but since I spent the summer in Iowa, which was in a drought from June to late August, I have enjoyed the rain.
But there is one way that I do not feel similar to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy spends the entire movie trying to get home to Kansas. But I am glad to be here. I know it's only a year, and then I will soon be leaving for Iowa and for school in Ohio (which is really similar to Iowa). But in the meantime, I'm enjoying being here in a place that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
My supervisor and his wife took me on a beach picnic. I am roasting a hot dog by the tidal river.
Three weeks ago, I packed my suitcase and my backpack and moved from Iowa to British Columbia. I had also shipped some boxes, which have finally arrived and I'm all unpacked. I'm still getting settled in (figuring out where all my parishioners live, and getting use to living so far away from my family and Russ), but I am thrilled to be here and excited for the year to come.
Instead of a long post with detailed descriptions of what I've done the last few weeks, I thought I would share some pictures I've taken.
Most of these pictures were taken on the same day. Because the town is on the coast, we get about eighteen inches of rain a month, so it's usually raining. On this particular day, my supervisor's wife, an ELCIC deaconess, came into the office to take me on a long car drive up the highway so I could see the river.
Needless to say, I live in a beautiful part of the world.

This is nice! This picture makes me think you have been influenced by some old Disney artists too. Color scheme in it reminds me of Jungle Book backgrounds. I would say that it reminds me of 70s Disney production in general. Maybe i see it because i am a fan of that period of Disney, i dont know, but for me, it looks like this. :) I certainly see the story behind this picture.

awesome claudio
Lucas GRAZIE!ZM,I grew up mainly with two separated influences on TV, american and japanese cartoons. My taste results to be schizophrenic. I notice also that it comes quite spontaneously to put various elements in an illustration with coherence (I hope) because I have just to imagine in which of the two artistic environment I'm diving in that particular momentBrian, THANK YOU, you are super kind.

Peter Peter...in a way...YES I'm back to the roots, I had some colors inside that could get out just with this 50's style. How are you doing?Nice to see you again even if just in picture ahahCiao Octavio, Thank You, this is my "other" artistic side, the more "american" one.Ciao Kristian, THANK YOU,glad you like it, I needed to be back to old cartoons for a while, I really like Mary Blair colors.

US 4228770 AAbstract
A fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine having inlet porting and a fuel supply passage with valve means therein, the cross-sectional area lying within the outside passage walls being greater in the region of the valve means than in a region upstream of the valve means. Means are provided in the passage tending to equalize the velocity of the fuel flow through the supply passage in different regions thereof.
1. An internal combustion engine having a fuel inlet port and having fuel supply means, the fuel supply means including passage walls defining a fuel passage communicating with the inlet port and having reed valve means in the passage to control the flow of fuel through the passage, the valve means comprising a ported valve seat and a cooperating reed valve, the cross-sectional area within the passage walls being relatively large in a first region at the upstream side of the valve means as compared with a second region farther upstream, and an element positioned in said relatively large region, said element having a cross-sectional area in a plane transverse to the fuel passage sufficient to substantially reduce the effective cross-sectional flow area in said region of relatively large cross-sectional area.
3.

The invention is applicable to engines of various kinds having a combustion chamber and having fuel inlet porting for delivering fuel either directly or indirectly to the combustion chamber, and certain aspects of the invention are applicable to engines of a variety of types, including engines with cylinders and reciprocating pistons therein, and engines in which the combustion chamber accommodates a rotary type of piston. Although the invention is applicable to a broad range of reciprocating piston and cylinder types of engines, the invention is herein illustrated and described as applied to a two-cycle internal combustion engine of the kind commonly employed in motorcycles, power saws, lawn mowers and other appliances and devices.
Still further, while the invention may be employed in association with fuel intake and valving systems of various kinds, the invention is particularly applicable in engines in which reed valves are employed in the fuel intake system, and the invention is, therefore, herein illustrated and described in connection with two-cycle engines employing reed valves.
In various types of engines above referred to, fuel intake porting is provided and the fuel supply means includes passage walls defining a fuel passage communicating with the inlet porting and having valve means in the passage to control the flow of fuel in the passage.
It is quite common, especially in two-cycle engines, to employ reed valves in the fuel supply passage in a region near the intake porting; and in order to accommodate the reed valve mechanism, the passage leading to the intake porting in the region of the reed valves must be of substantial cross-sectional area. This is particularly true where it is desired to employ a number of reed valves so as to maximize the fuel intake.
However, the portion of the fuel supply passage extending upstream to the carburetor or other means for introducing the fuel into the system, commonly has a cross-sectional area considerably smaller than the cross-sectional area in the region of the reed valves. It is of advantage in connection with the operation of the carburetor to avoid having a fuel delivery passage of excessive cross-sectional area, because for a given quantity of fuel and air, the rate of flow would be retarded; and in the operation of carburetors generally, the quantity of air and fuel intermixed in the carburetor is more accurately and reliably established where the velocity of delivery of the mixture is relatively high. It is, therefore, of significance in the operation of the carburetor to employ a delivery passage of relatively small cross-sectional area.
Since it is of importance to provide a space having a relatively large cross-sectional area in order to accommodate the desired reed valves and since it is desired to provide a carburetor delivery passage which is of relatively small cross-sectional area, the flow of the fuel from the passage of relatively small cross-sectional area into the space of relatively large cross-sectional area has heretofore resulted in substantial reduction in the velocity of fuel fed in the region of the reed valves. This is undesirable for several reasons, including the fact that a higher velocity in the region of the reed valves more effectively operates the reed valves; and in addition, the fluctuation in velocity of the incoming fuel mixture represents a waste of kinetic energy because of the deceleration of the fuel flowing to the cylinder.
With all of the foregoing in mind, the present invention contemplates the provision of a means tending to equalize the fuel flow velocity in the supply passage, especially in the region of the valves where the passage walls ordinarily define a relatively large cross-sectional area.
In the preferred practice of the invention, the foregoing objective is achieved by the positioning of a bar-shaped element within the supply passage just upstream of the valves, the bar-shaped element preferably being of airfoil or aerodynamic shape having a rounded leading edge presented upstream in the flow passage and having an angular trailing edge portion presented downstream.
It is desirable that the cross-sectional area of said element in a plane transverse to the fuel supply passage be sufficient to substantially reduce the effective cross-sectional flow area in the region in which the passage walls would otherwise provide a relatively large cross-sectional flow area. In this way, the velocity of the fuel flow may be substantially maintained, with resultant improvement in efficiency and operating characteristics of the engine.
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view through portions of a two-cycle internal combustion engine, in which the fuel supply system includes a plurality of reed valves arranged in association with a reed valve support or "cage" having its apex presented downstream of the fuel supply passage and in a position extended generally parallel to the axis of the cylinder;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 1 but illustrating another embodiment of the invention, in which the features of the invention are applied to a two-cycle internal combustion engine having a reed cage positioned with its axis extended generally transverse to the axis of the cylinder; and
In FIGS. 1 and 2, a cylinder is indicated at 5, the cylinder having a liner 6 and being associated with a crankcase 7. The top closure of the cylinder is not illustrated. The piston 8 reciprocates in the cylinder and is associated with a connecting rod 9 associated with the crank 10 in the crankcase. The crank 10 rotates about the crankshaft (not shown), which may also carry the counterweight 11, all as is well-known in this art.
An intake port is indicated at 12, and the cylinder also has an exhaust port 13 and a transfer port 14 which communicates with the space below the piston by means of a transfer passage 15 formed in the wall of the cylinder. As is well-known in the operation of an engine of this type, the fuel and air mixture is admitted into the space below the piston when the piston is in its upper position, and as the piston moves downwardly toward bottom dead center position (the position shown in FIG. 1), the fuel is compressed in the space below the piston, so that at the bottom dead center position, when the transfer port 14 has been opened, the compressed fuel will flow upwardly through the transfer passage 15 and into the cylinder through the transfer port 14. When the piston rises from the bottom dead center position, the port 14 is closed (as is also the exhaust port 13), and the fuel is compressed in the upper portion of the cylinder, whereupon, usually by spark ignition, the fuel is burned and the piston driven downwardly again. The details of this well-known structure and operation need not be considered herein as they are well-known in this art.
In the engine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a reed valve cage of generally triangular cross section 16 is illustrated, this cage being formed of two valve seats positioned in planes which converge toward each other, i.e., toward the apex member 17, each of the valve seats 16 being provided with a series of valve ports 18 (four such ports being included in this embodiment) through which the fuel passes into the inlet port or porting 12, and thence either directly or indirectly into the combustion space in the cylinder for ultimate combustion to produce the downstroke of the piston. From FIGS. 1 and 2, it will be seen that at the base end of the reed valve cage, a flange 19 is provided which is adapted to be mounted against the extension 20 projecting from the cylinder in order to accommodate and mount the valve means in the fluid flow passage delivering fuel to the intake porting 12.
On each of the valve seats 16, reed valves are provided; and in the embodiment here illustrated, the reed valves associated with each port 18 include a primary reed 21 and a secondary reed 22. The reeds are secured in position by means of screws 23. As will be seen from comparison of FIGS. 1 and 2, each primary reed 21 is of sufficient size to overlie the entire area of the valve port 18 in the seat, and each such primary reed has a "vent" therein as indicated at 24, which vent is adapted to be covered by the secondary reed 22. Although the primary and secondary reeds 21 and 22 are illustrated as being slightly flexed away from the valve seats, it will be understood that when the valves are closed, the primary reed lies snugly against the valve seat and the secondary reed lies snugly against the primary reed. This multiple reed arrangement, which may for convenience be referred to as "vented" reeds, is fully disclosed in my prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,905,340, issued Sept. 16, 1975.
From FIG. 1, it will be seen that the inlet porting 12 is of substantial dimension axially of the cylinder and is open to the space below the piston even when the piston is in bottom dead center position. In addition, a passage 25 extends upwardly from the porting 12 and communicates with the space above the piston in bottom dead center position through a port indicated at 26, such passage and port providing for supplemental transfer and fuel intake when the piston is in the bottom dead center position.
The duct or connection 27, which is associated with the carburetor (not shown), is ordinarily of circular cross section; and as above indicated, is of substantially smaller internal cross-sectional area than the chamber within the extension 20 of the cylinder which accommodates the valve mechanism. Intervening between the duct 27 and the upstream edge of the reed valve cage, there is a connecting part 28 having diverging interior walls 29, this connecting part conveniently being formed of rubber or some composition material and adapted to be fastened at its downstream end to the cylinder through the reed cage flange 19 and adapted to be connected with the duct 27 in any suitable manner.
From the above, it will be seen that the passage walls leading from the carburetor to the intake porting have an internal cross-sectional area which is relatively large in a region at the upstream side of the valve means, as compared with the region in the duct 27 leading to the carburetor; and in the absence of provision to the contrary, this variation in the cross-sectional area of the flow passage would result in substantial decrease in velocity of the fuel mixture in a region just upstream of the valves.
As hereinabove pointed out, the present invention contemplates the provision of means tending to equalize the velocity of the fuel flow through the various regions of the intake passage. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the objective is achieved by the employment of an element 30 positioned within the region upstream of the valves where the cross-sectional area within the passage walls is relatively large, as compared with the upstream region extended to the carburetor. The element 30 preferably takes the form of a bar with its axis extended parallel to the planes of the valve seats 16 and parallel also to the apex member 17 of the reed cage. Actually, the bar may desirably be formed integrally with the end walls 31 of the reed cage itself although a portion of the bar projects upstream from the reed cage.
As clearly seen in FIG. 2, the element 30 has an aerodynamic or airfoil contour with a rounded leading edge presented upstream and with an angled training edge presented downstream. The cross-sectional area of the bar 30 is advantageously sufficient to approximately equalize the effective cross-sectional area of flow passage in the region of the bar as compared with the region upstream in the duct 27 extended to the carburetor. For efficient aerodynamic action, it is preferred that the trailing edge surfaces in the downstream portion of the bar 30 should substantially parallel the valve seat walls 16. This aerodynamic shape effectively serves to minimize fluctuation in the velocity of the fuel flow, without substantial impedence of the flow. As seen in FIG. 2, the apex member 17 of the reed cage also desirably has an aerodynamic cross-sectional shape, with the rounded leading edge presented upstream toward the trailing edge of the bar 30, and this further enhances the aerodynamic action in maximizing the flow of the fuel through the valve ports 18.
The maintenance of the relatively high velocity of flow in the region of the valves further enhances the action of the valve reeds, and the use of primary and secondary superimposed reed petals of the kind referred to above is also especially advantageous when used in combination with the aerodynamic bar 30. In explanation of this special advantage, it is first pointed out that with any reed valve, the opening commences at the extreme tip of the reed, the reeds being secured to the reed cage at the base end. With a valve employing single reeds, the tip of each reed is spaced farther downstream than the tip of the secondary reeds in an arrangement employing both primary and secondary reeds. In the absence of the aerodynamic bar, the secondary reed would be located in a region of lower fuel flow velocity; but with the presence of the aerodynamic bar, the opening of the secondary reeds is accelerated because of the increase in the fuel flow velocity in the region of the tip of each secondary reed.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the intake porting 12 extends downwardly sufficiently to provide for communication with the space below the piston above the crankcase space, even when the piston is in bottom dead center position, and this provision, together with the supplemental port 25, is effective in maximizing fuel delivery into the combustion chamber above the piston. The space below the piston also communicates with the crankcase space.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, a supplemental intake or transfer passage 25 is provided, but the intake porting 12 does not extend downwardly in the cylinder wall to a point below the piston. Instead of such opening, a port 32 is provided in the skirt of the piston, this port being positioned so that it will serve to extend the effective intake porting to provide for fuel intake throughout the entire stroke of the piston, as is the case in FIGS. 1 and 2, by virtue of the downward extension of the intake porting itself to the region below the piston skirt.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, the reed cage and reed valves comprise essentially the same components as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2; but in FIGS. 3 and 4, the reed cage is positioned with its apex 17 extended transverse to the cylinder axis, instead of in a direction parallelling the cylinder axis, as in FIGS. 1 and 2. The reed cage is mounted by means of its base flange 19 on the outer edge of the extension 20a of the cylinder 5.
The duct 27, which is extended to the carburetor, also appears toward the right in FIGS. 3 and 4 and a rubber connecting part 28a intervenes between the duct 27 and the mounting flange 19 of the reed cage. The inside walls 29a of the connecting part 28a are, of course, extended in divergent planes which are somewhat differently arranged than in FIGS. 1 and 2, because of the different orientation of the parts.
The aerodynamic bar 30a employed in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 is also somewhat differently shaped as may readily be seen in order to span the space between the inclined walls 29a in the connecting part 28a. In this instance, the bar 30a is shown as being formed as a separate part from the reed cage, but is secured in the reed cage by means of screws 33, which are extended through the end walls 31 of the reed cage.
It will be understood that the proportioning and positioning of the aerodynamic bar employed to equalize the fuel velocity in different portions of the intake tract may be varied according to the shape of the passages involved. Moreover, somewhat different cross-sectional shapes may be employed for the element introduced in the fuel flow passage, but an aerodynamic cross-sectional shape is preferred because it is effective for the purpose of equalizing the velocity while at the same time, minimizing aerodynamic drag which would unnecessarily impede the flow of the fuel.
Dynamometer testing of an arrangement as herein disclosed established that the arrangement of the invention not only improved the fuel intake and carburetor function at the low and mid-range of engine speeds, but also effected increase in power and decrease in fuel consumption at the high end of the speed range.

I'm confused. Are you relating C++ class with a "class of students"? If you have a class representing a class, and the class has a name like "Mrs Gutentag's Kindergarten," it should have a data member to store that as a std::string.
Sep 6 '10 at 6:00
@Potatoswatter: Now, I am confused. What are you asking?
Sep 6 '10 at 6:07
There are two meanings to the word "class," and the kind of class that has students is not what the class keyword refers to.
@Potatoswatter: Oh, I get it. No, I just want to retrieve the class name i.e. one here.

You can display the name of a variable by using the preprocessor. For instance
#define quote(x) #x
std::cout<<typeid(A).name()<<"\t"<< quote(A) <<"\n";
outputs 3one    A
on my machine. The # changes a token into a string, after preprocessing the line is
std::cout<<typeid(A).name()<<"\t"<< "A" <<"\n";
Of course if you do something like
void foo(one B){
std::cout<<typeid(B).name()<<"\t"<< quote(B) <<"\n";
3one B
as the compiler doesn't keep track of all of the variable's names.
As it happens in gcc the result of typeid().name() is the mangled class name, to get the demangled version use
template <typename foo,typename bar> class one{ };
one<int,one<double, int> > A;
char * demangled = abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(A).name(),0,0,&status);
std::cout<<demangled<<"\t"<< quote(A) <<"\n";
one<int, one<double, int> > A
Other compilers may use different naming schemes.

@Lazer No idea, as people say the result of typeid is platform specific. It's probably something to do with C++'s name mangling scheme.
If I try template <typename T> class one{}; and use a one<int> I get 3oneIiE as the class name, so it is indeed to do with name mangling (The stuff probably means class with a 3 character name one with I one template argument i (int) E end of arguments)
+1 I was not aware that we even have such functionality in C++

use typeid(class).name
// illustratory code assuming all includes/namespaces etc
cout << typeid(A).name();
It is important to remember that this
gives an implementation defined names.
As far as I know, there is no way to get the name of the object at run time reliably e.g. 'A' in your code.
map<const type_info*, string> m;
m[&typeid(A)] = "A";         // Registration here
m[&typeid(B)] = "B";         // Registration here
cout << m[&typeid(a)];

@chubsdad: What is the output that you expect? I get 1A, but the class name is one.
@Lazer: As pointed out, this prints an implementation defined string. Refer my edit if you want a more fancy way
Sep 6 '10 at 6:29
Do you want [classname] to be 'one' and [objectname] to be 'A'?
If so, this is not possible. These names are only abstractions for the programmer, and aren't actually used in the binary code that is generated. You could give the class a static variable classname, which you set to 'one' and a normal variable objectname which you would assign either directly, through a method or the constructor. You can then query these methods for the class and object names.

@Lazer: May I know why?
@chubsdad: Have a look at the code example in the question.
@Lazer: the example provides absolutely no reason to want to retrieve the name one. That's what I'm asking about on the question discussion. Wanting the name of a C++ class is associated with ugly dynamic type hacks, and debugging. Wanting the name of a class in school which the program represents is not a job for runtime type information.
@Lazer: Yes, for that operation, use if ( typeid(a) == typeid(int) ); no need to mess around with strings. However, there properly isn't a need for that operation in the first place, since the static types are already known. If the static types are known by the compiler but flexible, as in templates, you should use <type_traits> template operations such as is_same< type_of_a, int > instead of runtime comparison. typeid only serves a practical purpose on classes with virtual methods, or for debugging templates.
Sep 6 '10 at 6:26
You could try using "typeid".
This doesn't work for "object" name but YOU know the object name so you'll just have to store it somewhere. The Compiler doesn't care what you namned an object.
Its worth bearing in mind, though, that the output of typeid is a compiler specific thing so even if it produces what you are after on the current platform it may not on another. This may or may not be a problem for you.
The other solution is to create some kind of template wrapper that you store the class name in. Then you need to use partial specialisation to get it to return the correct class name for you. This has the advantage of working compile time but is significantly more complex.
Edit: Being more explicit
template< typename Type > class ClassName
Then for each class somethign liek the following:
template<> class ClassName<MyClass>
Which could even be macro'd as follows:
#define DefineClassName( className ) \
template<> class ClassName<className> \
static std::string name() \
return #className; \
Allowing you to, simply, do
DefineClassName( MyClass );
Finally to Get the class name you'd do the following:
ClassName< MyClass >::name();
Edit2: Elaborating further you'd then need to put this "DefineClassName" macro in each class you make and define a "classname" function that would call the static template function.
Edit3: And thinking about it ... Its obviously bad posting first thing in the morning as you may as well just define a member function "classname()" as follows:
std::string classname()
which can be macro'd as follows:
DefineClassName( className ) \
std::string classname()  \
Then you can simply just drop
into the class as you define it ...

i would recommend not to allow default class name as it defeat the purpose. if we want class to be named, then enforce it on every class.
Sep 6 '10 at 6:05
Yeah fair enough. Some people may prefer it to work with any class even other classes.
I guess you meant #className instead of ##className ?
Aye ... sorry .... I didn't have a machine i could test compile that on at the time.
Just write simple template:
const char* getClassName(T) {
std::cout << getClassName(a);

Belle, Book, and Candle: Snobs by Julian Fellowes

Hi, Lark. 'Snobs' is one of the books I bought at the recent used book sale. My post here doesn't do it justice. It is really quite sly and witty and at times laugh-out-loud funny. The trashy behavior has a sense of inevitability and pathos. Hope you enjoy it!

Midas Crackenberry's Cat by Ned Johnson | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble
Even the most devoted cynics have a soft spot, though most keep it well hidden...even from themselves, as did Midas Crackenberry. But from time to time, something intrudes on that cynicism, slips under its radar, and makes direct contact with the humanity that has been hidden from view so long and so well long. And the miracle that ensues is a wonder to behold.

Midas Crackenberry's Cat 4.2 out of 5 based on 0 ratings.
This was a very cute short story about a grumpy old man finding joy in a cat. It made me laugh because of the man yelling at the cat and left me smiling at the end. Great for cat lovers looking for a short read.
Nice heart warming story. Anonymous
This is a short read with humor and humanity!
This was a very simple story about the positive affects a cat had on a grumpy man. It was cute and i'd recommend.

Recently, a ban against online gaming has been lifted and millions upon millions of people have flocked to a new virtual reality known as "The World." Two teenage boys are among the participants, taking the roles of Kite and Orca in The World. When they are attacked and Orca's player falls comatose in the real world, Kite must continue in the virtual reality of the game on a quest to save his friend. While the story element of "will to power" in an artificial reality may share basic concepts with 1999's The Matrix, many of the presentational aspects of .hack are created with the sense of an epic anime film. The plotline is crucial to gameplay and an included DVD features original animation that may reveal important secrets to observant viewers. Characters in the game were designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion). The story was written by Kazunori Ito (Ghost in the Shell).Product IdentifiersPublisherBandaiGame.hack//INFECTIONMPN045557180119UPC045557180119Key FeaturesPlatformSony PlayStation 2ESRB RatingT - TeenGenreRPGLocationUSATech DetailsESRB DescriptorMature Sexual Themes, Mild Animated Violence, Mild Language, ViolenceControl ElementsGamepad/JoystickNumber of Players1Release Year20034.647 product ratings531413332010Good graphicsCompelling gameplayGood valueMost relevant reviewsSee all 44 reviewsby enviroguyDec 23, 2016Buy a Used PS2 to play this game on.My son wanted this and other games from this series for Christmas in 2015. Finding it was not hard. But then I found there were different additions depending on where in the world you live. After finding this North American edition, I then found it would not play on a PS4. Luckily, used PS2 consoles are very cheap. So I bought one for about the same price as this game.Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedby nikionanDec 01, 2016This game is phenomenalI highly recommend it to anyone who is a JRPG connoisseur. I have a feeling that SAO was based off of this; the game takes place primarily in a video game (lul). Basically, your character gets into an MMO RPG and eventually realizes that in-game events start effecting real life events. The game play is button mash and slash, which is personally my favorite. If you're a turn based fan, I'd still recommend this game just for the time killing and amazing storyline.Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedby youngkickflipOct 04, 2016phenomenalwas extremely surprised with how fast this game got to me, more so the fact that i bought it around midnight and it was shipped at 1am AMAZINGVerified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedby mistresskanaMar 01, 2013Phenomenal story and concept, passable game play, RPG fans will adore itI loved this game, LOVED it. I loved it for the deep, complex story line and the interesting concept of the game. You take on the role of a young man (high schooler) who has begun playing an online game called the world. A mysterious event in game places his friend into a coma, and the problem is spreading. You continue on into the game to uncover the truth, meeting and making alliances with other players while the game makes you feel like you are truly playing an online game while you check e-mails and message boards.
That said the game mechanics, whie not terrible, ARE reptative, as are the enviornments and if you aren't the kind of person who is propelled by story, you will get bored quickly.
I still highly recommend the game for anyone that loves RPGsby chunkymonkeylolJan 02, 2009Looking for an engaging 4-part RPG? You found it..hack//Infection (Part 1), as the name suggests, is part of a four part game series about a guy who starts playing a popular online game with his friend only to be attacked and have that same friend end up in a coma. He then begins his journey searching for answers and a way to help is comatose friend.
Essentially you're playing a game about someone playing a game. The story is quite interesting, especially if sci-fi/cyberpunk is your thing, although the only downside is that you'll be getting only the first quarter of the story here. Want the rest? Time to buy Parts 2, 3, and 4.
The gameplay comes down to dungeon crawling with actionRPG style combat, going into town, buying items, then heading back to the dungeons. Every now and then you're forced to log out of the game and go to your deskop (remember, this is a game inside a game) to check the message boards for tips and new locations or check your email. This might seem annoying at first but interacting with your party members through email was actually quite enjoyable and fleshed them out, while the message board was very useful in that it provided essential information.
Overall, I loved this game as well as the subsequent .hack games, and is a must buy for RPG fans who can get over the older looking graphics and want a great story and fun gameplay.
