With the World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria, on its way, many "old" players are wondering if it will be able to bring the magic back of WoW's glory day.s In today's WoW Factor, we take a look at that notion. See what you think and then leave your thoughts in the comments.
With games like The Secret World, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2 and so many others coming out over the next few months and into next year all trying to push the boundaries of what an MMO can be, I wonder if there's still a place for the traditional theme park that is World of Warcraft. It's likely still massive subscription count, though not what it once was is enough to keep Blizzard's behemoth at the forefront of MMO gaming even if the hardcore folks like us no longer spend every day talking, thinking, and dreaming about it. But for how long? Can it ever take someone like myself, someone who's long since begun exploring new worlds with newer mechanics, and bring me back into the same sense of love and adoration I once had for a world called Azeroth?
Read more of Bill Murphy's The WoW Factor: Can Old Be New Again?
Nope... it can not be new again, not for the people who usualy voice their discontent on sites like this and others. Because what they want back was never really there to begin with. It was not a tangible thing. It was a emotion and a experience and that they can not get back.
And world PvP is not dead.. it is just that people today are way to lazy to actually get something going. There are tons of ways to actually force world PvP but it takes work, just like it did back "in the days" but people have forgoten that part and just want it to happen, materialize out of thin air.
Now ofc these are my personal opinions and does not in any way shape or form classify a truths.
This have been a good conversation
I could be convinced to go back, I likely won't, but I could. I really just want planetside 2 though.
" I would love to see some sort of open world dungeons, boss fights and all." this was the biggest argument that players had when they released cataclysm. Here the story was supposed to be the end of the known world and the threat was supposed to be immense, yet, there were no town raids (not even small ones) no attacker events nothing.even if it were a timed events like Rifts it would have been an overall improvement.
IMO i think that Blizzard's Lead Dev Ghostcrawler is too arrogant to actually admit that WoW needs an overhall. Heck they didn't even add cosmetics until they lost 2 mil subs all at once some time ago.
Their newest expansion is going to have to go a long way to actually catchup to the rest of the gaming world or they'll be left behind, even if people keep their subs they will be spending most of their time in other titles so why pay for WoW when they won't be using it??
"You can never go back home again" or something like that, the saying goes. I didn't buy Cata, but I played for a short time months after it released (free week or something they gave me to come back). It's still fun, but for me, the one thing I couldn't get over was the talent revamp. MoP looks to make it worse in my eyes, and I won't come back.
Character choices are too few for those of us who didn't subscribe to the FotM club. "Gimping" your character to fit your playstyle or roleplay style is gone.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
Don't beat the old horse they say. 8 years=move on to something else new. Popular games in general(non-mmos) like CoD or some other big name move on to something new in 2 years.

I have to agree with WhiteLantern. What World of Warcraft once was, it can't be again. I remember watching BlizzCon 2011 and watched the talent revamp portion. All I could remember hearing myself think was: "What the f***?" Cataclysm was nice in thoery. But in truth, it just didn't work out the way Blizzard wanted.
An earlier poster said that if Blizzard doesn't catch up, they'll be left behind. I think it's already too late for that. Blizzard has already fallen behind. And people like Ghostcrawler and Bobby Kotick are not helping the situation, they are only exasperating it.
This is just my personal opinion though.
" But it seems like Blizzard is content not paying attention to others games' successes lately and I wonder why they haven't tried to bring forth some of their own "Dynamic Content" a la Rift or the upcoming Guild Wars 2."
Because GW2 isn't out yet and has sold no copies, and Rift has about 7 million less subscribers?
You never step into the same WoW-river twice....
Even if the game was the same, you are different. Hence, much angst.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
I agree with ScorpionOne, " And people like Ghostcrawler and Bobby Kotick are not helping the situation, they are only exasperating it."
What blizz is doing, and have always done, which most mmo have fail to see, is to constanly revamp old contents , and adding little nice and different touches to this game here and there. eg, changing of spells effects.
Revamp the talents system is 1 of them, however personally i feel that they are making it worst.
And somehow i feel that blizz is still very stubbon in implementing more new things in the face of more and more competitions, say putting in player housing, its like they just wana prolong every function as long as possible, thus enabling them to sell more x-pac.
But if they dont start to pump out contents more and fast, this mammoth will goes down faster than i think.
Unless, of course they are super duper confident in their new mmo....
RIP Orc Choppa
I will probably never go back even if it becomes FTP. I played this game to death, and no new feature is going to bring me back. Gameplay was always fun, but in reality the animations, character creation, and graphics are severely outdated and limited by today's standards. I guess it's a been there, done that mentality.
Ah, the old open world pvp days. What your asking for is what players assumed we would be getting around the timeframe yo mentioned. I remember my friends and I discussing what kind of new open world content they would add for PVE and PVP. Seeing 200 players mauling a dragon open world is eternally more unique than the instanced stuf. Sadly blizz went with instances, and more instances, and less open, and more scripted, and cross relm instances (effectively killing the game for many players). Your actions never had much impact in the game, not it had none. Your actions are now the same as everyones. The open world is dead, players log in, pick insance, go. It's gone from being a MMORPG to a MMODC.
What wold it take to get me back? Open world content focus, more aesthetic customization (8 years and we have the same char options, pathetic, the barber shop was a HUGE let down), more chance/risk/reward-stop holding our hands.
The player base has gorwn up, were more mature, we can handle consequences, sadly WOW didn't gow p with us, it attempted to make a world where everyone is the winner, which results in everyone being the loser.
While I don't think I can be convinced to play WoW again, what is old can definitely become new again. I went back to EQ1 a few years ago and played for about a year and it was definitely a refreshing experience. Just the amount of freedom allowed to you and you have the real sense that you are playing a RPG (not everything is streamlined at the sake of immersion/realism).
As MMO's continue down the "action combat 1337zorz" 16 year old after 6 Mountain Dew's lane...I can see how some old school MMO's would tire of it and want something different after a while.
"Remember me the way I used to be"
I have a lot of fond memories from Vanilla. The game world was awesome, everyone was learning the game, mobs were not too easy-not too hard.
I belonged to a horde guild named "Dreadnaught" on the Greymane server and we had a riot. We were shit disturber's and we were always attacking Alliance town and cities "We were the Horde" and we played the part.
Our guild leader made a forum challenge "Dreadnaughts were going to invade Iron Forge" and if the Alliance could kill any single one of our member's, our guild would leave the server. Our guild leader had created an alliance guild named "Dreadnaughts" instead of "Dreadnaught" and had us all create lvl 1 Gnomes with an "s" after each of our names and we all went running into Ironforge with about 300 Alliance watching and waiting for an epic battle. After we fullfilled our challenge, we gave them what they were waiting for at about 6 fps lol.
Our guild leader was a fun and entertaining guy, he made the Alliance hate our guts and I loved every minute of it lol.
Thats the way I want to remember WoW. The game today cater's to a different crowd and that's ok.
I will never go back.
Gorum of Dreadnaught
"Be water my friend" - Bruce Lee
I played World of Warcraft from the time it was in early family and friends beta!
All through release, the so called vanilla stage, through the launch of Outlands, Wrath of the Lichking, and finally Cataclysm. I took a few breaks here and there but I experienced all the end raiding for each of those expansions, and in Vanilla I was both engaged in the pre-xrealm pvp and in AQ raiding as well.
I can honestly say I appreciate very well the way WoW operates as far as content and game mechanisms go, and that there is ABSOLUTELY nothing remotely interesting to me, about wow at this time. When I read that the next expansion was going to be Pandas I just threw my hands up and said to myself, well there goes one mmo addiction atleast. On to the next one.
The game is now same old, same old in my eyes, and I know I can't be captivated beyond an eventual level race at the start of an expansion, and that means it isnt worth purchasing or paying a sub for. Gear races/grinds are just not enough anymore. In a way I guess I thank WoW for having so exhausted that end game concept that other games are now looking at different ways of keeping the player interested. About bloody time is all I have to say.
So in short, NO.

false GW2 isnt even out and sold a lot of copies already...get your fact straight
I'm just doing the Ironman Challenge (currenlty lvl 61...go go go!!). I'm not really interested in the expansion.
NOUP for the reason that wow alwais try to change himself and change all games trying to making look new but basically messup the gameitself, wow is the only old game still out there but changing other and other again the mechanism and system trying to making another game it just not good they would save that for wow 2 or so but its going to die cause of that and later will run out of ideas ;/ sooo sad
There is no point in playing WOW anymore. The road to 85 is just an artificial grind. Back in vanilla, being 60 meant something. Now being 85 means absolutly nothing. Back in vanilla gold had value, now gold is worthless. I remember back when 500g was a ton of money at level 60. Now these days 100k is pocket change.
To bring many of the older MMO's back they should attempt to insert a FPS style of gameplay much like what Star Trek Online did.
i agree, it cannot be new anymore, its overall just the same shit with new skins always, WoW was good, no doubt it really were, but not anymore. just a shame they dont get it and keeps throwing shitty expansions out
Nope not even close.
WoW is the evil, greedy, soul sucking game that has IMO destroyed this genre. My friend tryed to give me a scroll of Rez a few months back and I went back to try it and the game was unbelievably shallow plus prettty much horrible. I have no clue why people still play the game and I dont know how I played every day without fail for 6 years. So glad I broke away. WoW and WoW clones are EVIL.

they have to stop simplify th dungeons for once and also try and give back that sence of accomplishment when yu finally found the entrance to the dungeon little like sunken temple where yu had to go in a mini maze to get in(it felt like yuve succeded in somefing wen yu managed to get in alive) :)and then kill the 4 mini bosses b4 yu culd go for the dragon now the entrance is smackbang in the beginning and only hakkar and the prophet n dragon r left
and also i think they need to add more epic recipees for the crafters so that ppl dont have to raid if they dont want to or cant get a group for the raid content
tutoring or "sidekickin" wuld b nice2(they culd nick the idea frm coh/cov where the sidekicked person wus artificially raised 2 one lvl below the mentors lvl w powers/skills as they had from start if they were raised and kept reasonably close to yur "mentor")so tht higher lvls culd help lower and id like more "hidden" lore and quests and places to find would also help and i think more freedom in the talent placing so if yu wanted to mix and match yu culd do tht
i agree open world bosses wuld b nice to have as well doubt theyll implement it but 1 never knows
id also want more customisation options like for example tattoos or scars or somefing like tht
so tht yu culd make yur char look unique well eres my opinion on it anyway(still playin it since its one o the few games i can play on my ancient single core computer :)even though its mostly dead in th low lvl zones )

They throw out expansions because each one brings in about 5 million sales in the first month (last one did).. that's about 150 million. Then another month sub from each sale (at the 'least', because gametime isn't included). That's another 45 million. Thats almost 200 million 'minimum'. We buy, they make.. done.
Those figure were £'s btw.
I've recently gone back, the big thing that brought me back was the scroll of ressurection. I mean getting a free level 80, free wotlk, free cataclysm, free transfer (that i didn't use), is something I couldn't pass up, even if it only lasts a month before it wears off. I quit right before wotlk. Mainly because I was mad at Blizzard for only making a melee tank/dps and not a mage class too in wotlk. They had a perfect set up for it. The Necromancer would've fit right in with the death knight starting area, and would bring one of my favorite class types ever, the pure-pet class. Now that I'm back, I find myself in a guild that does weekend raids, and always grouping up for RBGs and HoTs. Alot has changed in the world, which I like. I've started leveling an alt, and it's new again since alot of the quests are different now.

To me graphic, art etc is as important as gameplay if either one sucks I will move on. Now the thing is we all have different ideas of what "sucks" means.
I want both gameplay and something great to look at so I'm not constantly in the back of my head saying meh feels like I'm playing something on my old NES.

I don't play a game If gameplay is bad.
I don't play a game If graphics are bad.
So graphics matter, of course, as much as gameplay in my case.
the graphics matter to me as long as the gameplay is even better. With that said, if the gameplay is awesome but the graphics are bad, i wont touch that game. If the graphics are awesome but the gameplay is bad, i wouldnt bother either.
Devs have to start making good games in all departments, gameplay, graphics, progression, endgame, story, all of it. I would gladly download a good chunk of gigabytes of a game very well made and full of good stuff rather than a small and fast download from an incomplete mess.
I noticed that when somebody complains about subscriptions they are told by subscribers to get a job... well if thats the case then, ill say if your PC cant run X game then get a job and upgrade too
Im all for great graphics, like i said, as long as the gameplay is as good as the graphics.
I dont mind playing UO with the 2D client, so that is my answer on if graphics mean everything.
Most of these pretty mmos have shallow systems in them, such as harvesting/crafting...I find them boring.
"Does it look good? Yes? Sell it. Look at Call of Duty, look at the Halo games (past the 2nd one). Even the latest GTA mainly has a lot people commenting on how good the game looks. Therefore their marketing ploy is working. I am just going to throw out there that the story will probably be predictable, not that exciting, and the gameplay will not blow very many people out of the water. "
Jesus Christ, the staff here are ridiculously bad. On topic? Of course graphics matter, but more than gameplay? Of course not., but it still matters a hell of a lot this day and age. In regards to MMORPGs, if all I'm going to be doing is click mobs and wait for them to die, you need something pretty to look at.
And in regards to traditional games, writing is becoming stronger and more cinematic (Halo 4 had a great story and if Red Dead and Max Payne 3 can be used to benchmark GTAV, hold onto your butts. Rockstar's writing is stellar). You need brilliant visuals to sell the believability of a world the player immerses themselves in and for players to grow attachment to a well-written protagonist. Of course, if the game itself is just going to blow as a result, then forget it. But graphics DO matter. The staff writer's stupidity in what I quoted is almost unfathomable.
I don't think that graphics come at the expense of gameplay or content. Sure, the developers could theoretically divert money towards gameplay and content, but if they really were inspired in that departement they'd do that anyway. If you took away the graphics, you'd just be left with a game that's bland in all ways.
The more expensive the game, the more important for marketing the game, the graphics must be. As mmorpgs tend to be expensive, they therefore tend to "need" good graphics and then as they are competing against each other, that raises the acceptable bar even more.
Do good games need great graphics? No. Eg
Dwarf Fortress:
All these games players spend HOURS and HOURS playing/played. So I believe graphics is purely for attractive value which is very non-lasting but seemingly very profitable.
That said, a game's style of graphics has an affect and if it's the icing on the cake instead of what most mmorpgs are, the cake on the icing (!) then it definitely contributes.
Eg Some artists work on an IP for so long their work becomes the STANDARD of that IP eg Star Wars, Games Workshop and more. For comparison of a style that may suit a culture, the anime style makes me barf in most mmorpgs compared to like it in actual anime films *some styles more than others!*.
Originally posted by Vyeth This is what happens when an age old formula of good gameplay meets traditional but updated graphics. (done right imo)
MMOs already exemplify that well enough, considering they developed from games that did not have graphics at all.
The end result of MMOs existing as an enormous genre demonstrates the power of graphics, as a market-builder.
The nearly complete degradation of communities over the same period demonstrates graphic's inherent weaknesses.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
50% graphics
50% game play
If I own a 2K system? Make my system work at 70% best settings.
If I payed 2k for a system, give me my moneys worth.
If I pay you 15 d a month, give me my moneys worth.
If you are selling a F2P, make it work on those Walmart & Best Buy systems.
..its a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: Its a Game.
Graphics matter in modern games because they make up for a lack of good story, interesting and unique mechanics, and diverse challenges that were the hallmark of games before plug-in-play engines, design patterns and various object oriented methodologies began to streamline releases targeted at the broadest video gaming demographic without concern for appealing to any sub-division therein.
If it's pretty, it's looked at. I believe that also applies to many other entertainment industries.

Exeter have been boosted with the news that tighthead prop Hoani Tui will line up against London Irish at Sandy Park on Saturday.
Exeter have been boosted with the news that tighthead prop Hoani Tui will line up against London Irish at Sandy Park on Saturday.
Tui is in the starting XV despite pulling out of the action early in last weekend's 23-10 loss to Saracens. There will be a first-ever Premiership start for Exeter's Cornish hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie, who comes in for Jack Yeandle, who took a bang to his head at Saracens.
Behind, Henry Slade gets the nod at fly-half over Gareth Steenson; Phil Dollman reverts back into the midfield alongside Ian Whitten, whilst there are recalls for both Luke Arscott and Tom James.
Meanwhile, Exiles boss Brian Smith has included Topsy Ojo and Marland Yarde in his starting line-up.
Shane Geraghty moves back to fly-half with James O'Connor moving to the inside centre position. John Yapp starts at loosehead prop and Ian Gough and Mike Mayhew are named as replacements.
Yapp, David Paice and Jamie Hagan make up the front row with George Skivington and Nic Rouse in the second row. Kieran Low, Blair Cowan and Ofisa Treviranus are named in the back row.
Darren Allinson and Shane Geraghty will start at half back with James O'Connor and Eamonn Sheridan in the centre. Marland Yarde, Alex Lewington and Topsy Ojo make up the back three.
Smith is keen for the Exiles to return to the victory trail after the lost narrowly to Leicester last weekend.
"We want to finish this block of Premiership games well and go to Exeter and put in the type of performance that has seen us win away at Saracens and Wasps," he said.
"Exeter are similar to us in the fact that they will fight for everything, however we have prepared well this week and will go to Sandy Park with a winning intent."
Form: Exeter Chiefs have slipped to five straight defeats in Aviva Premiership Rugby – their worst run in the competition – and dropped from fifth to eighth place in the table. The Chiefs have been defeated in their last two Premiership contests at Sandy Park, by Northampton and Bath, but have never lost three in a row at the venue. London Irish's three game winning run in the Premiership ended on Sunday with their 15-20 reversal to Leicester Tigers. The Exiles have won their last two away games, at Saracens and Wasps, but have not won three in a row on the road in the Premiership since 2008. Exeter have won their last four encounters with London Irish whilst the Exiles only previous victory at Sandy Park was 12-69 in the Premiership on 23rd October 2010.
The teams:
Exeter: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Matt Jess, 13 Ian Whitten, 12 Phil Dollman, 11 Tom James, 10 Henry Slade, 9 Dave Lewis, 8 Dave Ewers, 7 Ben White, 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm (capt), 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Luke Cowan-Dickie, 1 Ben Moon.
Replacements: 16 Greg Bateman, 17 Carl Rimmer, 18 Alex Brown, 19 Don Armand, 20 Kai Horstmann, 21 Haydn Thomas, 22 Gareth Steenson, 23 Fetu'u Vainikolo.
London Irish: 15 Topsy Ojo, 14 Alex Lewington, 13 Eamonn Sheridan, 12 James O'Connor, 11 Marland Yarde, 10 Shane Geraghty, 9 Darren Allinson, 8 Ofisa Treviranus, 7 Blair Cowan, 6 Kieran Low, 5 Nic Rouse, 4 George Skivington (c), 3 Jamie Hagan, 2 David Paice, 1 John Yapp.
Replacements: 16 Mike Mayhew, 17 Matt Parr, 18 Leo Halavatau, 19 Jebb Sinclair, 20 Ian Gough, 21 Gerard Ellis, 22 Ian Humphreys, 23 Ed Hoadley.

Allergy Testing
More than 50 million people in the United States have allergies. Finding out what you are allergic to is an important first step to effective allergy treatment. Today allergy tests are more convenient and accurate than ever before. When combined with a detailed medical history, allergy testing can identify the specific things that trigger your allergic reactions.
Are there any allergy testing side effects?
Any medical test involves some risk. The risk with allergy skin tests is that allergy symptoms might occur during the test. The most common symptoms are itching and swelling of the skin where the tests are. In rare cases, a more serious reaction can occur. That is why skin tests should be done by a specialist. The risk with allergy blood tests is pain or bleeding at the needle mark. Also, a few people may faint during blood testing.
Adults and children of any age can be tested for allergies.
How is allergy testing done?
Allergy testing can be done as skin tests or as blood tests. Usually, allergy tests are done under the guidance of an allergy specialist. These specialists are trained in the best methods for testing and treating allergies.
How do allergy skin tests work?
There are two types of skin tests. During the first type of skin test, a drop of a suspected allergen is pricked or scratched on the surface of the skin. The test is performed on the back or forearm. Many suspected allergens are tested at the same time. If you are allergic to one of the tests, you will have redness and swelling at the test spot.
Sometimes the doctor will recommend a second type of test. In this type, a small amount of the suspected allergen is injected into the skin of the arm or forearm. Several suspected allergens are tested at the same time.
How long does it take to get skin test results?
Skin testing is fast. For both types of skin tests, positive reactions usually appear within 20 minutes. Sometimes redness and swelling can occur several hours after skin testing. The delayed reaction usually disappears in 24 to 48 hours, but should be reported to the allergy doctor or nurse.
Is skin testing painful?
Both types of skin tests have little or no pain. However, positive reactions cause annoying itching red bumps which look and feel like mosquito bites. The itching and bumps are gone usually in just a few short minutes or hours.
Does medicine interfere with allergy skin tests?
Some medicines do interfere with allergy skin tests. The allergist will tell you if you have to change your medicine before allergy skin testing.
When are allergy blood tests used?
An allergy blood test is often used because:
How long does it take to get blood test results?
Because the blood sample must be sent to a lab for testing, it takes many days to get the results.
Which test method is best?
Skin tests give fast results. They usually cost less than allergy blood tests. What are the negatives? Young children do not like this type of test. Some medicines can interfere with the tests. In addition, in some people with dark skin it may be hard to read the tests. Also, the skill of the tester may affect the results. The test should be done by a person with lots of training.
Blood tests are helpful because they involve a single needle prick. Medicine does not interfere with the results. However, it takes a long time to get the results. Blood tests cost more than skin tests. There are many of types of allergy blood tests. Some types are more helpful than others.
Each test method has pluses and minuses. The test results alone do not diagnose allergies. All test results, from either type of test, must be interpreted together with the medical history.
What allergies can allergy testing find?
A blood test for allergies can help find allergies to pollen, molds, dust mites, animal dander, insect stings, foods and some medicines.

Introducing BlackFoot's first title.........
Posted 12 July 2007 - 09:54 AM
Ground Branch
Ground Branch Synopsis
Ground Branch is the premiere title from Blackfoot Studios. The term Ground Branch is a little known Military and Intelligence reference phrase for the paramilitary wing of the CIA. Ground Branch is composed of a Command that oversees operational teams which conduct military and intelligence actions in support of the goals specified by the National Command Authority.
These teams are not constrained by the law of land warfare that applies to military units. They operate under the radar and outside public knowledge, often conducting operations in conjunction with Special Operations Forces. Their members are drawn from the best former SOF operators from around the world including US Army Special Forces, British SAS, Australian SAS, Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and GSG9 just to name a few.
Ground Branch often operates in an area where there is no official or allowed military presence and utilizes the most advanced weaponry, intelligence and support mechanisms.
The story in Ground Branch opens with the expanding Chinese oil companies backing a guerrilla leader in Sumatra. The goal is the over throw of the West Sumatran government in order to allow China easier access to the massive oil strata discovered to the west of the country in Sumatran waters. Loss of communication with an advance Intel gathering team along with Guerrilla seizure of oil platforms and a bold move toward the capital of West Sumatra result in the CIA deployment of a Ground Branch 6 man team to gather intelligence and assess the situation in preparation for possible US Military intervention.
The Ground Branch Team enters the fray and the player begins a whirlwind experience where the battlefield evolves and the morality of right and wrong become a matter of choice. The gamer will chase a warlord and an elusive truth across a country while employing advanced techniques such as covert underwater scuba operations and high altitude parachuting techniques known as HALO to surprise a vastly superior enemy.
The basis for the Ground Branch game experience is, like everything else in the title, realism. There are legions of FPS fans that are constantly saying, ?I wish there was a game where I could do such and such just like the real world.? With Ground Branch, they will. All the while getting their hands "dirty" and experiencing the visceral consequences of hard decisions made during desperate situations.
A game specific site will be online within a few weeks.

Skip to comments.Losing Men
Posted on 09/19/2013 7:44:20 AM PDT by KeyLargo
September 19, 2013 4:00 AM Losing Men
Thats where the war is.
In 2010, more than 38,000 people killed themselves in the United States and over 30,000 of them were men, Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist, points out in her book Men on Strike.
How many of these men had decided to kill themselves because they could no longer see their children, had a broken relationship, or were involved in a bitter divorce? she asks. Ironically, even when you look at the suicide statistics, most concern seems to be about women who kill themselves. Apparently, our society cares so little about men that those who kill themselves are hardly news.
Its the problem of a culture that often treats men as if there is something inherently wrong with masculinity, with what makes them different from women and looks to feminize them. Men who are less interested in marriage and responsibility are only being rational in that context, Smith argues. In the wake of the Navy Yard shootings on Monday, Smith talks about violent video games, and men in America, with National Review Onlines Kathryn Jean Lopez.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
Yes, so true.
It's a real problem... that No one seems to EVER discuss.. except, Lopez.
"In 2010, more than 38,000 people killed themselves in the United States and over 30,000 of them were men, Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist, points out in her book Men on Strike."
Hopefully Dr. Smith takes a peek at the influence the Left has upon these numbers, and why. There lies the answer.
100% agree.
Feminazis are very powerful. They have been successful in their war on men. You can blame them for this.
The law and culture tend to protect women and to harm men. Men are starting to realize this, and women need to understand that men have few reproductive rights, have few legal rights in divorce, and are seen as the bad guy in marriages that go wrong.
If I had done what my X did for almost half a decade, my balls would be in a sling legally. Fortunately, its only one testicle and I can still support myself and my kids under the same roof.
The Left has gotten their way.
Women are winning!!
"There are many men in this country who are depressed or have issues that we as a society do not want to deal with. We are too busy trying to figure out what is wrong with girls and women, and mens psychological issues go by the wayside.
LOPEZ: Who are White Knights and Uncle Tims and why are they a problem?
SMITH: White Knights are typically conservative men who are chivalrous and always trying to protect women and have no problem with biased laws that punish men while protecting women. Uncle Tims are generally liberal guys looking to get sex or political favors by being male sellouts to their own gender. They are the Bill Clinton types who crack down on their own gender, using biased laws such as sexual harassment while sleeping with women and using them.
The law and culture tend to protect women and to harm men. Men are starting to realize this, and women need to understand that men have few reproductive rights, have few legal rights in divorce, and are seen as the bad guy in marriages that go wrong.
SMITH: Yes, when we see men as the enemy, they are afraid to volunteer with children, to help others, or to sit by a kid on an airplane. We are isolating half the population it is harmful to a free society."
Who is going to start a crusade against crazy women?
Only 8,000 women? I bet if you look at the "attempted suicides" women would outnumber men by at least 2 to 1. They are for the drama. Men just blow their brains out and are done with it.
What makes you think that this isn't their objective?
Liberal women and their War on Men are devastating the family structure. The nation will fall as these ungodly termites destroy the foundation of the country.
A man would have to be a naive fool to sit next to an unrelated child on a plane.
That's pretty much true; it is a binary decision for those men taking their own lives.
I believe that's a real fear, but do we know the actual number of men who are accused, overall and wrongly, in that situation each year or decade or whatever?
Where did all these sissy metrasexual (so-called) men come from?
attempted suicides...
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try." - Yoda
It's a God phobia which isn't the same thing at all as the classic fear (awe) of God.
When men stopped appropriating God's courage it all started going into the toilet in a hurry. Women can do it too, but because the nature that God made gave women different fortes than men, it will express differently in women... (psst women, God tells you, too, not to be afraid... courage isn't just a man thing) and what ever happened to the good ole viva la difference anyhow??? By trying to make everybody the same in the name of an ill thought through theoretical equality, our modern madness dumbs everybody down. That would be like an orchestra that had nothing but pianos in it. Rather dull.
Yoda never counted on God thwarting some attempts....
Female suicide attempts outnumber male by 2:1. Despite this, men are successful 4x as often.
Well if you put that as a "crusade" against craziness of women rather than against crazy women... I'd say sane women are in the best position to do that.
40 Clint Eastwood Quotes Illustrating the Obama Years (Video)
You don't suppose a large chunk of those 30,000 were men who had lost their jobs in the Obama Recession but could not get child support verdicts reduced? Man faces a near term of large debts and, if he does work, it is garnished from him so he can't start over?
I suspect more died from this than from "broken relationships" or being "denied the right to see their kids".
It's a perversion of the man thing. The man thing as God designed it was to be particularly bold and daring. Women would show more of a sustained, patient effort. (Perversion of this might show as women who eat or smoke themselves to death, and that's not usually classed on death records as suicide.) The two natures would complement one another and both arise from roots in a Lord who was so great that He needed two sexes to express His fullness. This is also why Jesus so often seemed to have an almost feminine compassion... this was God afoot on the earth, but when push came to shove God still chose the "He" to be His corresponding gender.
I am a man and as a man I would like to rule and dominate the world.
I have since learned that this is not going to happen, and furthermore in the big picture I am a peon.
But seriously, I think men naturally like dominating and this is not going to happen. Men need to learn to be men and at the same time restrain themselves from doing "domineering stuff" which really ticks people off these days.
America's WAR ON BOYS began decades ago down in the government indoctrination centers (erroneously called "schools") and will ultimately cost us what we have come to call America and western civilization.
EXCLUSIVE: Two decades after her affair with Bill Clinton, Gennifer Flowers reveals they'd be together now if it wasn't for Chelsea and how former president confided in her that Hillary was bisexual
I wouldn't trust either of them to render an objective report about such things. I say malicious gossip here.
"Men are considered rude beasts only interested in their own needs. "
Certain amount of truth to that.
Men can grasp God's conquering plan and do it right. This does NOT mean to go wild being macho. That's SELF centered. God is a real entity with real purposes. Not some blenderized principle that leaves humans as the boss.
Not a bad book (tried to read it), but a women telling men who they are, and what they should be and do, simply doesn't cut it.
The Way of Men, by Jack Donovan, is what every man should read.
In any given society, women have only as much power as men let them have. The Communist, Globalist objective to crush us as a viable power was greatly accelerated when they got us to acquiesce to the Women's "Liberation" (Communist lingo) Movement.
Do I think we should never have given women the vote? Am I the sort of Neanderthal who thinks they need to get back into the kitchen where they belong, and properly raise the children? You betcha.
One could argue about voting, I suppose until one is blue in the face. Other systems of voting are possible like one vote per household, or a vote that represents the number of people in the household.
The biblical advice to women isn't to be man-intimidated cowards. It is to fear not and do what is right. In the marital consummation act the biblical advice is amazingly complementary... now the man is no longer the boss, it is equality before God. Christianity allows for voluntary virtuous singlehood on part of men, so by mere complementarity, it will be allowed on part of women; women are born at roughly the same rate as men and they live longer. I don't want to disenfranchise the spinster or widow. I would want a social order in which the spinster or widow realizes she isn't an island and would be foolish to act in that manner.
What do men expect?
Cry me a river. My husband is a gentleman. he takes care of his family in everyway expected. i know some other men like this. their wives are taken care of so the wives can take care of their family.
Since 1973, until i met my future husband, I never had a steady boyfriend nor hardly a date where the guy didnt expect me to act like I was married for just 20 minutes
Incentive to grow up? No. There's no societal incentive to get married, to stay married, to raise kids, to take a stitch of responsibility for the expectation that women be on birth control and/or be prepared to undergo abortion at any time with no support system in place and no boyfriend who is done.
But because they've chosen to have meaningless sex they find themselves lonely. Perpetual adolescence is just great until they find out what their women counterparts are finding out and what their grandparents told them, meaningless relations lead to meaninglessness
Their children resent them always for their not taking marriage as sacred and not loving the kids' mothers, they end up with a meaningless relationship with their kids.
Choice -bad choice- happens to men too
I don't understand your post. What are you talking about?
If ya think its bad here, visit Russia, and the former republics.
Many people decide to take the easy way out, and will look for any excuse.
Also don't forget the multi tasking wife... Proverbs 31. Not quite the reduced stereotype of barefoot/ignorant/pregnant although certainly she bears kids and sees that they are provided for well, while honoring her husband. (She knows that she and the family and the hubby are a team. No class warfare here.)
Once in awhile there is a heart warming story about a young man who epitomizes what good in the daily lives of people a man can do. Stories like this give me some hope that there are still some in the younger generation of men that know right from wrong and how to behave as a real man should.
This Story of a 19-Year-Old Dairy Queen Employee Standing Up For a Blind Man Will Touch Your Heart
Sep. 18, 2013 4:27pm Oliver Darcy
Blaze Original,
Editor's Picks
A Minnesota Dairy Queen has been swarmed with dozens of phone calls, hundreds of comments and an influx of business after a story about their 19-year-old managers courageous defense of a blind man went viral on Reddit.
Joey Prusak, who has been working at the popular fast-food restaurant for nearly five years, told TheBlaze Wednesday he was shocked and sickened by what he saw happen to a blind man at the hands of an elderly lady.
This Story of a 19 Year Old Dairy Queen Employee Standing Up For a Blind Man Will Touch Your Heart
Prusak said that last Tuesday, one of his frequent guests, a man who is blind, walked into the local Dairy Queen. When the blind man took out his wallet to pay, a $20 bill slipped out of his pocket. An elderly woman behind the blind man then quickly snatched the bill off the floor and put it into her purse.
Prusak took matters into his own hands....
"attempted suicides...
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. - Yoda"
No, there is a try and thank god my daughter sucks at it.
But what is a man to do when he does love and care for his wife and child the best he knows how, tries to maintain a Godly home, works hard to support his family, and after over 20 years together his wife leaves him for another man? And the other man is someone who could be classified as a bum, who mooches off society and the government.
Yeah, I thought of blowing my brains out, especially when she had me committed (for no reason) so she could raid the bank account.
This generation of borth control freaks has created this climate
What should an individual do?
Whatever he feels called to do while looking at the facts.
"his wife leaves him for another man? "
Or another woman.

Men — the new second class citizens
By Suzanne Venker
Published July 12, 2013
n November of last year, I wrote an article for Fox News called The War on Men (which I subsequently expanded to an eBook). To keep it pithy, in the piece I focused on one effect of this war: the lack of marriageable men. But theres so much more to it. The truth is, men have become second-class citizens.
The most obvious proof is male bashing in the media. It is rampant and irrefutable. From sit-coms and commercials that portray dad as an idiot to biased news reports about the state of American men, males are pounced on left and right. And thats just the beginning.
The war on men actually begins in grade school, where boys are at a distinct disadvantage. Not only are curriculums centered on girls, rather than boys, interests, the emphasis in these grades is on sitting still at a desk.
Plus, many schools have eliminated recess. Such an environment is unhealthy for boys, for they are active by nature and need to run around. And when they cant sit still teachers and administrators often wrongly attribute their restlessness to ADD or ADHD. The message is clear: boys are just unruly girls...
Thank you for sharing. This young man serves as an example of what men should be.
And then we have this from the continued media war on heterosexual men as being bad and homosexual men should be the future.
Emotional video makes case for marriage equality in Illinois
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
The pressure is on lawmakers to pass a same sex marriage act in Illinois. Advocates released an emotional video Thursday, which they hope will help the cause and make the case for marriage equality.
"Illinois Can't Wait" tells the story of Chicago couple Robert Smith and his partner Steven Rynes. They hoped to get married in the state where they fell in love and made their life. But tragically, Rynes passed away last week.
Maybe if a woman writes the book it will be taken seriously?
Pray America is Waking Up
"No, there is a try and thank god my daughter sucks at it."
And I am very glad for both of you. My comment was more about guys. Guys generally have access to more deadly tools than women, and women seem more inclined to do the "cry for help" suicide than guys. Guys mean it.
**How many of these men had decided to kill themselves because they could no longer see their children, had a broken relationship, or were involved in a bitter divorce?**
I'm so tired of the "man" bashing. Can't it stop?

The Western Force captured their first win of the Super Rugby season after upsetting the Reds 19-12 in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Western Force captured their first win of the Super Rugby season after upsetting the Reds 19-12 in Brisbane on Saturday.
Against all odds, the men from the west kept the Queenslanders scoreless in the second half and tryless for the duration of the match as they bagged their first ever victory at Suncorp Stadium.
It wasn't pretty, but the Force won't care. A win is a win, and moves them up to 11th place above the Waratahs and the Rebels.
The only try of the match came through Force winger Alfi Mafi in the 32nd minute of the match, while South African import fly-half Sias Ebersohn kicked five from six goals in a strong performance for the Perth-based franchise.
They were the underdogs but deserved their win – being hungrier in defence and more accurate in attack than the Reds, who were shut out by resolute defence in the second half.
The Force took the early lead thanks to Ebersohn's opening three-pointer and the Reds were fortunate not to have conceded a try to Chris Alcock after Quade Cooper's clearance kick was charged down.
After missing his first attempt at goal, Cooper made amends with three successful kicks at goal in between another Ebersohn penalty to put his team in front (9-6).
The visitors, however, went back in front in the 32nd minute when influential scrum-half Alby Mathewson broke from a line-out, brushing off Saia Faingaa on the way, before putting Mafi over in the left corner.
Ebersohn converted, but the Reds had the final say in the first half when Cooper closed to the gap on the stroke of half-time. It would be the last time the Queenslanders would score as they went into the break one point adrift of the Force (12-13).
The second half proved just as dire as the first. Mathewson almost set up a try to Junior Rasolea but his kick ahead was spilled by the winger over the try-line.
Luckily though for the Force, Ebersohn raised the flags two more times to give his team some breathing space and it meant the Reds had to score twice to win.
After holding the Force out after 16 phases, the Reds had the chance to draw the match in the 73rd minute however their efforts came up without the points when Reds hooker James Hanson was held up over the line.
The scorers:
For Reds:
Pens: Cooper 4
For Force:
Try: Mafi
Con: Ebersohn
Pens: Ebersohn 4

Anthony Daniels is not as well known as Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, or Harrison Ford, but I think he was just as important to the movie. He's never *seen* even though he IS in the costume, but he's that distinctive voice of C-3PO that is so recognizable. I have always loved reading what he has to say.
And I completely agree that George lost focus on the prequils... too much computer not enough story... the only thing going for them is Ewan McGregor LOL jmho on that one
Still it will be sad, for this Star Wars Freak, when the last SW movie is shown in theatres

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

As expected, Marcus Lattimore will be a spectator when the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers open training camp next week.
The team announced Saturday that Lattimore – a running back from South Carolina who suffered a gruesome knee injury last fall – will open training camp on the active/non-football injury list.
That designation means Lattimore will count against the 90-man roster limit and can be activated at any time before final cuts, though he's expected to miss most, if not all, of his rookie season.
Days before the draft, Lattimore pledged to be ready by Week 1 of the NFL season, though he knew his status would be decided by his future team.
"I know my body," Lattimore told USA Today Sports. "I know when I'll be ready to play. It takes time, I know, but at the beginning of the season, I feel like I should be ready to go."
He landed on the non-football injury list, not the physically unable to perform list, because the injury occurred before the 49ers drafted him in the fourth round (131st overall) in April.
Lattimore, 21, amassed 3,444 yards from scrimmage and 41 touchdowns in three seasons with the Gamecocks. He decided to forgo his senior year despite damaging several ligaments on a hit in a game against Tennessee on Oct. 27 that left his right leg bent in an abnormal direction.
Also placed on the 49ers' non-football injury list were defensive tackles Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial and offensive tackle Luke Marquardt. Receivers Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams, linebacker Darius Fleming and running back Kendall Hunter were placed on the active/physically unable to perform list.
Not listed was receiver Michael Crabtree, who tore an Achilles tendon during organized team activities in May and could be a candidate for injured reserve with designation to return.
Rookies reported to 49ers camp Friday. Veterans are due to report Wednesday.
Lattimore said he's looking forward to learning from 49ers running back Frank Gore, who reached out to him when Lattimore first injured his knee last year. A year after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Lattimore had reconstructive surgery Nov. 2, performed by renowned surgeon James Andrews, to repair the anterior cruciate, lateral collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments in his right knee. Gore, too, was damaged goods coming out of college.
"Right after it happened, I doubted myself and I lost hope," Lattimore told USA Today Sports after the draft. "But one of my good friends came over, I got a chance to talk to Frank Gore, I got a chance to talk to Willis McGahee, and I realized God doesn't make mistakes. Now I'm with the 49ers. It's just a great, great situation for me."

The D2 VC 72 Black are skis from Atomic's 2009/2010 piste lineup. The "D2" is an abbreviation for double deck, where "VC" is an abbreviation for vario cut. Vario cut refers to the ski's densolite core, which has been constructed to allow the radius of the ski to automatically adjust to the speed and style of the skier. The "72" refers to the waist width, while "Black" refers to the actual color of the ski. The more pressure applied to the ski, the wider the front and rear section will become. The D2 VC's radius has the ability to become smaller by up to 6 meters in shorter turns – the normal difference between a slalom and a giant slalom ski. Atomic claims the D2 VC is the first ski which allows novice skiers to achieve perfect carves regardless of the ski's radius.

The Track
"Ex Gratia" is an orchestral piece with focus on choral voicings and latin sounding chants. Starting of with a calm piano arpeggio the track introduces a full choir section with the soprano voices on the main melody. The second part the male vocals take over, accompanied by some haunting soprano legato voices. Very filmscore 'ish and evocative.
