A silver lining for the Eagles' losing ways, the Vikings have a beast in the backfield, the Bills ran over Jacksonville and Andrew Luck continues his wild rookie ride for Indianapolis in Scott Cullen's Week 13 NFL Recap.
EAGLE EYES It wasn't enough that Eagles rookie RB Bryce Brown gained 189 yards from scrimmage in his first NFL start two weeks ago against Carolina, but he was just as good (183 YDS, 2 TD, 28 touches) against Dallas Sunday night. Since 1970, only two backs have run for at least 150 yards in their first two starts -- Tennessee's Gary Brown, in 1993, was the other.
As long as he's starting, Brown is a must-play, but what will happen once LeSean McCoy returns? Brown's been too productive to just return to the bench, hasn't he? The Eagles couldn't have possibly known that Brown would be this good, otherwise they wouldn't have had him glued to be bench all season, but now that he has proven his credentials as an NFL back, that changes the landscape for the Eagles.
ALL DAY, EVERY DAY Nothing new for Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, who lit up the Green Bay Packers Sunday (210 YDS, 1 TD, 21 carries), it was his sixth straight 100-yard rushing and the fourth time in those six games that he went over 150 yards rushing and Peterson now leads Marshawn Lynch by 308 yards (1446 to 1138) for the league rushing title. This would be a phenomenal season for anyone, let alone a guy coming back quickly from a torn ACL suffered in January.
BUFFALO SOLDIERS Contrary to the allocation stated by head coach Chan Gailey, which indicated a 60-40 split in favour of C.J. Spiller, the Bills still got a monstrously productive day from their two running backs against Jacksonville. It just so happened that Fred Jackson (119 YDS, 27 touches) got more touches than Spiller (84 YDS, 1 TD, 15 touches).
GIDDY-UP The Colts train continues to chug along. QB Andrew Luck hits on good and bad spots throughout the game against Detroit (24-for-54, 391 YDS, 4 TD, 3 INT), completing fewer than 50% of his passes and throwing three picks, but 391 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winner as time expires, is quite a game nonetheless.
Reaping the rewards of being targets for Luck, T.Y. Hilton (6 REC, 100 YDS) and Donnie Avery (5 REC, 91 YDS, 2 TD) were the Colts' top two receivers Sunday.
GO-TO WIDEOUTS Lions WR Calvin Johnson (13 REC, 171 YDS, 1 TD) and Bears WR Brandon Marshall (10 REC, 165 YDS) were, as usual, productive playmakers Sunday.
Johnson is now 246 yards ahead (1428 to 1182) of Marshall to the league's lead in receiving yardage, pulling away by going for more than 100 yards in each of the last five games.
EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE While it seemed many questioned the Chiefs playing a day after the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide, it turned out that the Chiefs responded under those difficult circumstances. QB Brady Quinn was shockingly efficient (19-for-23, 201 YDS, 2 TD) and his post-game comments sure made him sound like a leader. Quinn has gone through a lot of bumps in an underwhelming NFL career, but being a man that his teammates can lean on in tough times is a credit to him.
Quinn wasn't the only Chief putting up big numbers. RB Jamaal Charles, whose wife was the cousin of Belcher's victim, Kasandra Perkins, delivered one of his more productive games (127 YDS, 27 carries) this season, the fourth straight game in which he's gained at least 100 yards from scrimmage.
For all people will say about Jovan Belcher and the horrific acts that marked his last day on earth, see Andy Studebaker's post-game interview for just a glimpse at how this devastated his Chiefs teammates, guys that seemingly had no idea what lurked beneath the surface.
SEMI-SWEET CAROLINA The result wasn't what they wanted in Kansas City, but a couple of notable Panthers had productive games. QB Cam Newton (15-for-27, 232 YDS, 3 TD, 78 yards, 7 carries) and WR Steve Smith (5 REC, 120 YDS, 1 TD) had big days, while RB DeAngelo Williams (67 YDS, 12 rushes) had a decent day as the number one back while Jonathan Stewart was out.
J-E-T-S While the New York Jets haven't officially made a change at quarterback, Greg McElroy (5-for-7, 29 YDS, 1 TD) delivered their only touchdown against Arizona Sunday, so he may get the nod over a struggling Mark Sanchez (10-for-21, 97 YDS, 3 INT).
No matter who is quarterbacking the Jets, they're certainly better off if they get production from Shonn Greene (104 YDS, 24 carries) like he had against Arizona. It was his second 100-yard rushing game this season, but he's 14th in the league with 806 rushing yards this season.
FINER NINER San Francisco WR Michael Crabtree had a strong game (7 REC, 101 YDS) against St. Louis, his second 100-yard receiving game of the season, and the first time all season that he was targeted more than nine times. It's not as though Crabtree's numbers have exploded with Colin Kaepernick at quarterback, but it does bear watching to see if a new QB improves his output.
GIVEN 'ER With no Danny Amendola for the Rams, WR Chris Givens (11 REC, 92 YDS) went from being Sam Bradford's deep threat to being his reliable underneath target. The fourth-round rookie out of Wake Forest has 16 catches for 207 yards in the last two weeks and appears to have more upside than any others in the Rams passing game.
DANGER Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson, facing a ferocious Bears defence in Chicago, had a big game (23-for-37, 293 YDS, 2 TD, 0 INT), tying his career-high in passing yardage and giving him nine touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last four games. Wilson may not deserve Andrew Luck/RGIII hype, but the rookie is a playmaker with a bright future, no matter how tall he is.
As Wilson's passing production has improved, he gets more productions from his wideouts. Against Chicago, both Sidney Rice (6 REC, 99 YDS, 1 TD) and Golden Tate (5 REC, 96 YDS, 1 TD) had productive days.
DEPTH CHARGE As the San Diego offence has seemingly dried up, struggling to get the ball down the field consistently, their most dangerous weapon has become WR Danario Alexander, a deep threat who is rounding into a more complete receiver. After his game against Cincinnati (6 REC, 102 YDS), Alexander has 406 receiving yards in the last four weeks.
RAIDING THE CUPBOARD Raiders TE Brandon Myers was the focal point of a garbage-time touchdown drive, giving him huge overall numbers (14 REC, 130 YDS, 1 TD) against Cleveland. Myers currently ranks fourth among tight ends with 721 receiving yards.
With Darren McFadden spending another week in street clothes, Jeremy Stewart (46 YDS, nine carries) joined Marcel Reece in the Raiders' backfield. An undrafted rookie out of Stanford, Stewart has 111 yards from scrimmage in the last two weeks, but his role could get thrown into flux once McFadden returns.
HEATH BAR Steelers TE Heath Miller had a big game (5 REC, 97 YDS, 1 TD) against Baltimore, continuing the best season of his career. He's already tied his career-high with seven touchdowns and his 51.1 receiving yards per game is ahead of the 49.3 per game he had in 2009, on his way to a career-high 789 receiving yards.
COWBOY WAY After missing six weeks with a foot injury, Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray was solid (102 YDS, 27 touches) against the Eagles. Being sidelined for half the season has prevented an offensive breakthrough for the second-year back, but Murray has gained at least 75 yards from scrimmage in five of his six games this season.

University studies prove that Terradent's advanced design and patented manufacturing technology, with its thermo-welded head that does not have open pores where the bristles meet the brush head, actually reduces the bacterial load that collects on your toothbrush -- no other toothbrush can make this claim! Much more economical and ecological! Terradent's patented thermowelding eliminates the thousands of "tiny" spaces between the bristles of all other toothbrushes - spaces decay - and illness-causing bacteria use to hide and breed by the millions! Terradent Toothbrushes are the only toothbrushes to receive the prestigious "RECOMMENDED" evaluation by Oko-Test, one of Europe's leading independent consumer product testing organizations. All major mass market brands were evaluated. TerraDent's dentist-designed handle provides proper grip for better hygiene, while the Flexzone neck better protects delicate gum tissue from too much pressure while brushing. TerraDent Toothbrushes are also economical: Replacement heads save your family money. With Terradent, you save the handle and only need to purchase replacement heads in convenient multi-head packs. The most commonly available toothbrushes require you to throw away the handle every time you need to replace your toothbrush. Hundreds of millions of these plastic handles pile up in land fills all across the country, taking up space and not breaking down. At the same time, enormous resources have to be used to create more and more plastic handles to replace those in the land fills! The cycle goes on without an end--until NOW. Terradent Replaceable Head toothbrushes provide the best solution by allowing you to keep the handle and simply replace the heads, quickly and conveniently, when the time comes. Replaceable heads "click in" and "stay in". They do not dislodge while brushing. They are easy to remove and replace, making this an ideal toothbrushing system for everyone in your family. Eco-dent products provide superior natural oral care for teeth and gums. The health benefits of using Eco-dent products have been documented by more university research than all other natural oral care products combined. Cosmetic benefits-like brighter polished teeth and fresh breath-confirmed by thousands of satisfied users! Unmatched economy and the most ecological packaging available. Eco-Dent is the only Natural Products company to offer consumers the full range of Premium Natural Oral Care Products. Each and every Eco-Dent product is "Best of Class," with advanced formulas, premium ingredients, and state-of-the-art manufacturing.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
The sit-and-reach test is a simple way to measure in general fashion the flexibility of the backs of your legs, your hips and your lower back. Here's how:
With a cloth measuring tape, measure your waist circumference just above the hipbones. Record your waist circumference in inches or centimeters in your notebook or journal.
Then determine your body mass index (BMI) — an indicator of your percentage of body fat — through a BMI table or online calculator.
If you'd rather do the math yourself, divide your weight in pounds by your height in inches squared and multiply by 703. Or divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. (To determine your height in meters, divide your height in centimeters by 100).
Record your BMI with the rest of your scores in your notebook or journal.
Now that you know your fitness level, keep track of your progress. Take the same measurements about six weeks after you begin your exercise program and periodically afterward.
Each time you repeat your assessment, celebrate your progress and adjust your fitness goals accordingly. Share your results with your doctor or personal trainer for additional guidance. Your results may even inspire you to sign up for the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award.

|In response to Re: Shared Trap
: Nothing wrong with a debate when there are opinions on the relative merits of something. This guy asked for professional advice, got it, but then wanted to argue that his original idea would be OK even after repeatedly being advised that it would (a) be against code and (b) not work the way he thought it would.
OK I just don't understand why there is all this vitriol. Nowhere did I ever say I was going to ignore professional advice.
As I mentioned before I wanted to hear reasons for a certain scenario being a bad idea, not just: 'it's against code' but the major (and defensible in the specific scenario) reasons *why*. I never said 'I know it will work' or 'you are all idiots' or 'I'm doing this no matter what you say'.
However the first "professional" advice I got was flames that I was an idiot and a fool for even questioning the "CODE", without any useful explanations. Now I apologize if my response to the flames was a little snide but I really didn't appreciate such a vociferous response to such an innocuous question.
Anyhow I think I have got all the useful feedback I am going to get. I would really like to thank hj for the friendly and concise explanations. I really hope others' inquiries in the future enjoy that treatment rather than the bitter condescention I seem to have endured.

"this shoe has some cool detail you may not be able to see in picture. Like the way the laces go in the front and a "band" that goes around by the back. Felt good, but in the end, the souconys I ordered with these shoes were more comfy, so I returned the NB."

Epistle Reading
Document Actions
St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy 1:3-8
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
Timothy, my son, I thank God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when I remember you constantly in my prayers. As I remember your tears, I long night and day to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you. Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God.

Ed Today: Bill Gates's Education Philanthropy Over Time; New York City Parents Sue Over School Funding
Gates's Gigantic Growth? Michigan State University Professor Sarah Reckhow takes a look at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's funding patterns over on Alexander Russo's blog. "The decade from 2000 to 2010 was a time of enormous growth and evolution for the Gates Foundation," Reckhow writes. "Warren Buffett's pledge of more than $30 billion substantially increased the Gates Foundation's resources, and grant-making more than doubled from 2005 to 2009. Even more marked are the Foundation's dramatically shifted priorities." Over the years, Gates has shifted its money from directly funding schools to instead subsidizing research, advocacy and activism.

Skip to comments.UPDATE: EMS Director Says 60 To 70 Dead In West Explosion
Posted on 04/17/2013 9:26:21 PM PDT by Nachum
WACO (April 17, 2013)--West EMS Director Dr. George Smith says as many as 60 or 70 people died and at least 100 were injured Wednesday night in a fertilizer plant explosion in West.
A rescuer earlier said he knew of five deaths.
West Mayor Tommy Muska said at a news conference however, that he doesn't yet know how many people were hurt or killed in the blast explosion.
He said there was a fire at the West Fertilizer plant before the explosion.
(Excerpt) Read more at kwtx.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Dang this is horrible.
Prayers up.
Fertilizer ban next?
So sorry this took place. What a sad occurrence.
They sure haven't been saying anything like that on the news this evening. It may be so horrific that they are afraid to say much of anything until they have more facts about both casualties and causes. Hope this story is wrong.
What an absolutely HORRIBLE week..first Boston..now this..unbelievable horror..just cant believe it
This is horrible.
Prayers for the families.
sad, but it makes the 3 murdered at Boston seem small.....
I wonder if bamey the boy will attend an interfaith church service in Waco...
This is just tragic. Very sad. Prayers!
Im so happy we have a caring President at this difficult time....sarcasm extreme
Uh, who in their right mind would allow a middle school, nursing home, apartments anywhere in the vicinity of a fertilizer plant knowing the energy potential involved? Holy crap. The amateur video was scary to say the least. Looked like an oversize IED going off.
"Im so happy we have a caring President at this difficult time"
As JimRob said a couple days ago, Obama is trying to do everything he can to catch the Boston bomber. He and Holder are on the golf course, searching behind every blade of grass.
I heard him say it on TV..I am hoping and praying it isn't this bad..He was so upset...God bless the rescuers..We lost some tonight.(I'm in Waco just a few miles south..)
Of course it is being covered live still here.
This entire part of Texas is banding together to help.
Praying for all that are injured and those who mourn.
isn't tomorrow the 20-year Anniversary of the Waco massacre?
Anyone else finding this a little spooky?
Waco - Fertilizer
There's a link there somewhere
"It may be so horrific that they are afraid to say much of anything until they have more facts about both casualties and causes."
When has that ever stopped the EVIL media when the facts don't matter if it supports there leftist causes, such as Gun Control, Obama is the Messiah, ETC?
not saying it wasn't an accident, but recall the Toulouse France fertilizer plant explosion a decade ago that had clear signs of terrorism.
"What an absolutely HORRIBLE week..first Boston..now this..unbelievable horror..just cant believe it"
This is all very sad, and it will be interesting how the Bummer and his EVIL allies in the SENATE try to politicize all this. Not as easy as going after the 2nd Amendment.
That said, the most unbelievable horror happended back in November when the most EVIL man ever to occupy the White Hut was reelected. America is on the verge of losing EVERYTHING!
It is time...Damn him to Hell, and it is time...to hold the those who voted for him, including the 25 million evangelical christians who voted for him responsible for the horror that this is for America. God is holding them responsible, it is time for the rest of us to make them the evil perps that they are.
that had to be one HUGE explosion - watch this
God be with them
It seems that Obama brings disaster with him wherever he goes..its like a dark cloud has been hovering all over this country since Obama was elected
It is a bit odds to see where Obama's priories are.
We seem to be having a problem with Bombs not guns.
It is like evil was unleashed-I am serious
I hope none of the injured are burn victims, because that's the worst kind of pain.
Pray PRAY!!!!
I believe it too..he is an evil man who brings evil to whatever he touches
Good Lord, only a few days from one horrific event to another. If the trend continues ... God help us for what the weekend brings :-(

And as far as I'm concerned Obama can stay the hell outta Texas. We don't NEED anything from him. There is NOTHING he can do for us that we can't do BETTER for ourselves. I am disgusted by his behavior over his stupid agenda, which is only driven by the "event-du-jour". UMMM let's see....he didn't touch gun control his whole first term when he had the House and Senate, but NOOOWWWW he can use the victims of Sandy Hook....without Sandy Hook he would have nothing, and even with it, he couldn't get anything done. He systematically is destroying our nation with Obamacare. I hope his legacy of ROT STINK follows him to his grave. And give him as many cigarettes as he wants, maybe it will shorten his life.
Ditto, what you said, from Ft Worth
Prayers up
It's time for Obama, Congress and Janet to go.
Actually no...What they need to do is stay away from this...
Texas does not need any Federal government "help"...Like they would be able to do anything anyway for anyone...
We got this...Thank you very much...We (Texas) will advise (the Feds) when the time is appropriate...
Until then, [expletive deleted]...
Got that right. You should see the dog and pony show on CSpan 2 regarding Syrian Civil War between Chuck Hagel and the Senate Democrats of the Armed Services Committee.
Horrible horrible news.
I thought diesel fuel had to be mixed with AN to make a bomb, and need an impact igniter. An earlier report I read said water would do the same thing. Yikes.
The Texas City disaster was the deadliest industrial accident in U.S. history. The incident took place on April 16, 1947, and began with a mid-morning fire on board the French-registered vessel SS Grandcamp which was docked in the Port of Texas City. The fire detonated approximately 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate[1] and the resulting chain reaction of fires and explosions killed at least 581 people, including all but one member of the Texas City fire department.[2] These events also triggered the first ever class action lawsuit against the United States government, under the then-recently enacted Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), on behalf of 8,485 victims.
I agree with what you say; but I stand with what I said.
You think Obama will visit Texas after Boston?
local TV news saying 5-15 dead
which is a lot better than 60 to 70
not news worthy for MSLSD, they're talking guns and background checks all morning, to them it's a bunch of southern republican voters , mainly white in a small town so it's not worth covering.
Boston on the other hand is awful as is the failed background checks.
How can anyone take the radical left wing nut networks seriously and call them serious news is beyond me
bammy and his admin as well as MSLSD are talking about the cowards who never voted for their gun bill, calling them names, calling NRA are traitors, TX is a southern state, a red state, with a small town and they couldn't careless about southerners, midwestern more southern small towns or the lives which are lost.
To them it's not Boston, Chicago or NY city so they don't care
nope, Boston is a northern liberal yuppie elitist city though mostly white people,
TX is a southern republican state and this happened in a small town made up of mostly white people.
MSLSD has not even covered the explosion , instead they're talking about the failed gun bill and going nuts about it
My earlier question was rhetorical.
I'm wondering if somebody may have misheard "16 - 17" and reported it as "60 - 70".
Sure, no prob...

Pantone's selection of tangerine stole the show in 2012, and the new year will be coming up green with Pantone's choice of emerald as the color of 2013.
It's the color of money and signifies growth. In fact, it's a pretty shade for grass and pretty much every tree. What a great choice. I know the Girl Scouts are happy about the selection.
In honor of this announcement, I bought a green dress. I now have an excuse to buy more green stuff.
A few months ago, the PANTONE Color Institute posted its top 10 women's fashion colors for Spring 2013. Glamour Magazine did a great piece on it. Read my blog on that topic here. Those colors include: Bright Chartreuse, Ethereal Rhapsody, French Roast, grayed-down purple, Honey Gold, Olympian Blue, Pink Flambé, Tangerine Tango, Ultramarine Green, African violet, dusk blue and of course emerald, Pantone's colorists also told us how hot all greens would become in fashion for the next year. Read my blog on that here.
Right now, let's all get out there and spend some green on something green.

I always love starting a new game. The box is laying next to my desk. I've just made my decisions on what race and class to play, and chosen my appearance. My character has appeared in a new world waiting to be explored. My family has been told to leave me in peace for the evening.
Now the question is, what will the first hour be like?
In that hour I will experience the graphics and sound, get a flavor for the game's community, try out the UI and maybe face off against a few monsters. For me, they key is whether the combination of those things and others evoke some emotional desire to see more and want be part of this new world.
So how important is that first hour? Do first impressions really matter? Or do you need to give it days, weeks or months before it's fair to start evaluating?
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
at least a week usually, allthough if the games really bad ill know within a day (allthough after just buying it, it will be a few more days till i admit it to myself).
within a week i can usually tell if i will resub and if its worth subbing for more than one month.
(it takes me more than an hour to find a guild, talk to some people, and find out how to optimize the games graphics, and what my goals in the game are going to be.
I agree with you, but there is another side to the coin. The first few hours are crucial in getting you involved in the world yes. Let's say that the graphics, combat and everything is very nice, and it grabs you in that first hour, that's all well and good, but will it hold on and not let go? This is when you have to take the "newness" into consideration and how much that influences your first hour.
A personal example that happen to me of this, was the first time I played Aion. I completely fell in love with it and bought it day one. Yes, that first hour and week grabbed me, but right around level 17, it very quickly started to let go, and I grew tired of playing it even as I got to level 28, it just seemed like it wasn't going to grab me again and I wasn't looking forward to seeing that next big thing in this game.
On the flip side of that, the first time I played WoW when it came out... as soon as I jumped with my character and saw the "character" that was in my toon, as I saw Tirisfal Glades for the first time, I was completely enthralled by it, as I was with Aion, but the difference was WoW actually kept ahold of me for this many years, and I was always looking forward to seeing that next big thing and reaching it.
How many people will play the first 60 minutes, how many will play the next 60 minutes, how many people will play the next 60 minutes after that, etc, etc?
The first 60 minutes are the most important minutes. Its played by the most people, therefore, has a huge influence on the population of the game.
Nothing quite like that initial feeling. Just reading your post made me happy. This is especially true in a brand new game were everyone is starting from square one on opening day.
With that said, it is important for me but I understand problems happen. I will get a good basis of what this game consists of, but I won't judge the server status or other related issues if the game has recently been launched. Will I make presumed assumptions of the game as a whole...probably not. But if the problems with a game do no get fixed in a timely fashion, it will infact make my stay at the given game not quite peachy.
IMO it really depends on the game... which is partly where theres a problem. What i mean by that is, in some games what you experience in the first few hours is very similar to what you'll experience throughout the whole game, whereas in other games what you experience sometimes in the first few days / weeks is drastically different than the later / endgame experience.
While the UI and stuff may remain the same, the actual gameplay, features, and overall enjoyment in the game might be very different, especially in PvP based games. More often than not, the first few hours of play tend to be rather boring and tedious if youve ever played an MMO before and already know most of the basics, but then as you advance in the game and start dealing with a variety of class builds / specs, customizable gear, talent trees, bosses, dungeons, and eventually high end PvP its almost a whole different game.
For me, i usually try to give games at least a week or 2, though there have been many cases where within a couple of hours im able to make a decision about wether i want to waste my time playing it or not. Though there have been some that i put aside at first, only to give it another chance later and find a really great game underneath the initial turn offs.
i suppose one of the most important things in the first hour would be overall "polish". Is the UI user friendly and does it make sense, or is it just jumbled together and full of useless stuff with no room for customization? How difficult is it to make sense of what youre supposed to be doing, how to fight, manage skills / stats, etc and how smooth does the game play?
Really it depends on the game for me. There have been some where I decided within a few moments that it was a piece of crap. There are others where it took me a few weeks to sort out and others yet that I played for years. So while a first impression of a game definitely needs to be good it's the total depth and immersion into a game that will keep me there.
So if a game has a great begining, a mediocre middle and an blah end game then while the journey may have fun the end of it may not be.
As far as MMOs go, the first 60 minutes to me are extremely important, but not to the point where the developers are trying to cram a bunch of content into the first few levels. To me, the first 60minutes show me how good the combat is, how good the movement is, and just how well the engine runs the game and whether or not it's my style or not.
Personally, the 2 week mark is the kicker for me. If I make it at least to the first 60minutes, I'm probably going to keep playing for up to 2 weeks. At that point, I either lose interest in the game or decide the game doesn't have the content I was hoping it had. A good example of this recently is Atlantica. I loved the game, I loved the combat, I loved pretty much everything about the game.... except the lack of character development content. At the 2 week mark, I had gotten a good idea how their advancement system worked and I just didn't like it. I was hoping for something more along the lines of FF Tactics advancement.
First hour is very important. When there were only a few MMOs, I tried them all, but now, there are way too many for me to waste time delving into one that isn't hooking me right away. If it even seems lacking in polish, there's a good chance I'll be moving on. Thinking maybe I'll check back in a year or so, but never actually doing so.
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.
Any one else start out in teldarassil in wow as a night elf? ITs hands down the best opening of any game Iv ever played. I have played every character though in wow, and gnomergan was a good one too(duskwood/ashenvale was my favorite zone and I loved every instance). Aion when I first played the china version I new I loved it from the start. The weather was so cool, and animations were cool, and the playability of it was smoth as silk. The UI was beautifull even in chinese, and the gameplay was very controlled and unique even being played across sea.
Most any games Iv played start out feeling good. No game has ever let me down right from the begining. The hard part with mmos is being a sustainable game that keeps people playing. One game I didnt like from the start though would have to be pirates of the burning sea. That game just leaves a sour taste in my mouth and best not served at all. I know there are fans of it, and thats good but its not for me. Really my perception on games before release can be debatleable though as I remember making a great big deal about pirates of the caribbean and not knowing what type of game it was. lol...
For the life of me, I cannot remember the first hour of the games that I enjoyed. I'm trying, but there is nothing. However, I have quit some trials, dropped out of some betas, and flung a box or two across the room for some games where within the first hour I was on the verge of beating my head on the desk in dismal astoundment at how bad the game was.
In a good game, in my opinion, you should not notice that an hour has passed. If you are looking over at a clock to see how much time has passed, then the game has issues...
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?
Explorer: 87%, Killer: 67%, Achiever: 27%, Socializer: 20%
Not very important.
I'd say getting out of the noob area is more important.
They companies spend most of their money on polishing the noob area.
Well shave my back and call me an elf! -- Oghren
evaluation begins immediately
from the first minute i begin the game
condemnation begins
as soon as i start finding bad bits
that can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few days
the better the game is
the longer i have to play it
before i realise it sucks
Guild Wars 2 is my religion
First impressions are everything. If it doesn't grab me right away it never will.
First hour is the most important and its one of the reason games in beta get such a bad rap on forums like these. We are all guilty of "never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression". It is in our nature. The two MMO's I played the longest, DAOC and WOW, had me from character creation, from the first quest, etc....I will never forget the first flight on a gryphon in WOW. I will never forget roaming the Highlands of DAOC as an Albion merc. Those memories were made from the moment I logged in.
Over the course of time, the game's reputation can change, but for many people, that decision to subscribe or not is made from the initial impression. Heck, I think so many of us are jaded now, our decision is made even before that first hour.

Yes, first impressions matter. The first gaming session, lasting at least a hour, is incredibly important. This is where you experience the most basic of all game mechanics and learn the fundamentals, something that will demonstrate whether or not this type of game really is for you. Ultimately, though, this is the most basic of all gameplay and you can't base everything on what you experience in this first session -but it will either leave you with the feeling of 'God damn, I love this game! I can't wait to see what else is going on,' or 'this is kinda alright, let's see if it gets cool in a few more levels,' or simply 'this....this is not my thing.' (Occasionally, it leaves you with the kind of feeling we've seen generated from the Mortal Online feedback!)
Players don't need a few days or a few weeks to evaluate their game fully, they need several quality gaming sessions that show them roughly 10-20% of the game's content and mechanics. For example, let's use WoW. When I loaded up my Warlock for the first time I had the first of three responses mentioned above. I simply loved it. The more I played the more I liked the game and I was able to see the sorts of things I would be doing later on and wanted to do, ultimately giving me the desire to get there and do them. I wasn't in a rush though, there was plenty of the World of Warcraft to experience and I enjoyed experiencing it. I didn't need to raid to appreciate how classes functioned, I only needed to group and experience dungeons to see how mechanics worked and would work in more advanced and complicated situations.
If a player is taking a few weeks or, god forbid!, months to evaluate a game they are either part of the team working on the game, incredibly indecisive or deluding themselves about the game's potential for them. Games do not need weeks to be properly evaluated. You won't see everything after several quality gaming sessions, likely leading up to 24 total hours of play over 6-10 sessions, but you will know whether or not you want to see more and keep playing. That is the point, whether or not we want to keep playing. If a game takes a month to properly evaluate you need to take stock of yourself and the game. If you really are an indecisive person then it's not the game, it's just you; if you are trying to give the game the benefit of the doubt and are still doubting the game, it's the game.
There is a strong point that needs to be made here and it is that it doesn't and should not take days, weeks or months to evaluate a game. People who think that is the case have some very awkward standards, either far too high or far too low, because the game should make you want to play it. People are going to have different likes and dislikes, too. Some people love WoW, AION and EVE and these are all quite different from one another. None of these games are bad, no matter what we think of the publishers in some cases and people need to wrap their minds around that. That said, some games really are quite bad and there is nothing wrong with saying that. Saying a game needs more time is just an excuse and excuses are a testimonial to failure: either you or the game failed. After all, if a game is doing poorly and people are being overly charitable there is no way that game is going to get better when it should.
(1)TL:DR must be your way of saying that thinking hurts. Then again, this may explain why it looks like you responded to the post without using your brain.
(2) It's not about community, is it? You just have nothing better to do.
I never base my decision to stay on 1 hour alone. I need more time. I'm one of those people who will rummage through things backwards and forwards, up and down. I will get into everything and anything and all that takes time. I have never decided not to play something in the first hour and I don't intend to start.
Like one of the posters said, game developers spend a lot of effort to make the starting area work as well as possible and neglect whatever comes afterwards because they figure they'd hook you and then take their time and fix everything else. Once I get into the meat of the game that's when I start to evaluate it more and decide that what I'm doing is worth money. This is also when the community starts to shape up and I can see where it will go. If it goes the way of WoW then I will most likely not play long. If I do I'll burn through whatever content I can on my own, turn off all the public chat channels and the end my subscription when I'm done.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
They matter not only for the players interested but also for the journalist reviewers of the game which can be a heavy factor in swaying the opionins of new players.
Interesting question. I would say that the first hour or two of an MMO are very important, but don't necessarily make or break the game for me. I definitely get a sense of the game right from the character creation window. Actually, I even pay pretty close attention to the intro graphics to see what they have to offer. Both of those are an indication of how much effort devs have put into an MMO.
As far as the world itself goes, it takes a little bit longer for me to decide if I am going to like it or not, as it should. If you can make up your mind about what the world is like within the first hour, chances are it's not going to be that good. I'll never forget the first time I logged onto EQ2, there was another guy who logged on right next to me at just about the same time and the first words out of his mouth were, "I love this game already." I don't know if he maintained that opinion after he really had a chance to explore it, but I thought to myself, "How can you possibly know this is going to be good after 5 seconds."
One thing for sure is that I don't think it's possible to ever recapture that euphoric feeling I got the very first time I logged onto my very first MMO. Because I had no idea what kind of graphic world I was about to enter. Now I do. But that doesn't mean that the overall world can't be as good. It just has to be done.
For me there is 3 important lengths of time when I try a new MMO.
I usually start on the weekend so I have 2 free days to play.
After the first hour I will only quit if the game is horrible. Sometimes it just doesn't work for me, the UI, the graphics or the combat.
Then after a day comes the second threshold, Is the game fun? Do I like the world?
The 3rd time is after a week when I put on the final judgement on everything.
For me is the first hour not that important unless it is total crap.
The first 60 minutes is crucial for me. That's long enough to see if anything innovative is there, or if it's just another cookie-cutter game dressed up with shiny graphics but with the same old class archetypes, combat systems, etc. I usually give it a week to see if it gets any better, but up to now I usually end up thinking "I've been playing a game basically the same as this for the last 4 years" and then I bin it and never look back.
Do you people have any idea how many derpensteins will play a game for 5 minutes and make up their mind on it?
I'm still waiting on a reply in the LFG section from a guy that said he's looking for a "non point and click" mmo, after listing 4 games that are *NOT* point and click. Apparently he must have clicked on the screen, seen his guy move, then assumed the entire game is point and click, then uninstalled them. In fact, only one of them allows that to happen in the social hubs, while it's impossible to do so in combat. I have no idea how he figured Maple Story for one... though people should avoid that game for various other reasons.
This kind of stuff happens way too much, and to my utter discomfort.

Now Playing: Skyrim, Wurm Online, Tropico 4
Waiting On: GW2, TSW, Archeage, The Rapture
I play every single MMO that comes out so I usually know a good game when i see one, and so far what impressed me in the first hour and I continued to enjoy were fairly successful games while others not so much. Like another person said, the best way to describe it is the urge to want to play the game again. If all i did was kill 10 rats and struggled with something during my first play, there's a good chance I wont look back even though I'll still give the game a good shot. So yes the first playthrough which usually isn't an hour but 2-3 is very crucial in my enjoyment of said game.

At this point in my life I have played enough MMOS or single player games, I can usually tell within 15-20 minutes if I am going to enjoy the game or not.
If not, uninstall and move on.

Comment: I wrote this regex years ago after reading some official email syntax paper. The . character is legal anwhere in the user section of an email. thus the folowing are legal emails and someone, somewhere, may have a mail server with such usernames:
Even though I think many mail servers won't allow that kind of address, some may, so I'm being conservative on the off chance that someone comes to my site with such an address.
Also, as for validating only IP's in the 255 range. If someone's is technical enough to type in an IP at all, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to mess up their IP. Moreover, if someones going to fool your validator, they are just going to use something like firstname.lastname@example.com not an invalid IP. I wanted to allow numbers but didn't want to spend the time checking for valid numbers. Thanks to those who spent the time.

Title: My Latest Version - Allows Quoted Expressions and IP Addresses Continued (DOMAIN)
Name: Ralf Thompson
Date: 7/17/2003 11:29:41 PM
Comment: The DOMAIN is an IP Addr or one or more "atoms" separated by dots. I added the constraint if an IP address isn't used there must be at least two "sub domains" the last of which is limited to a string of 2 to 4 letters. An IP Addr is four "octets" separated by dots. An Octet can have a value of 0 to 255 and is expressed as (([0-9])|([0-9][0-9])|([0-1][0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))

The full IP is ((([0-9])|([0-9][0-9])|([0-1][0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))(\.(([0-9])|([0-9][0-9])|([0-1][0-9][0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(25[0-5]))){3}). The alternate atoms list is ([^\x00-\x20\(\)\<\>\[\]\.\\",;:@]+(\.[^\x00-\x20\(\)\<\>\[\]\.\\",;:@]+)*)\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}
Title: My Latest Version - Allows Quoted Expressions and IP Addresses Continued (LOCAL PART)
Name: Ralf Thompson
Date: 7/17/2003 11:20:02 PM
Comment: Above is based on RFC822 (close but not exact). My concept was that an email address follows the pattern LOCAL_PART@DOMAIN. The LOCAL_PART can either be a quoted string ("[^"\x0D\\]") or one or more "atoms" separated by periods. An atom is any char except ASCII 0 to ASCII 31, Space (ASCII 32) or Special Characters ()[]<>.\",;:@ and takes the form [^\x00-\x20\(\)\<\>\[\]\.\\",;:@] in the expression above. The entire LOCAL_PART is therefore shown above as ^(("[^"\x0D\\]+")|([^\x00-\x20\(\)\<\>\[\]\.\\",;:@]+(\.[^\x00-\x20\(\)\<\>\[\]\.\\",;:@]+)*))

Title: Long winded consideration
Name: Ralf Thompson
Date: 7/10/2003 11:37:41 PM
Comment: Per RFC822, an email address matches this pattern:
The definition for LOCAL-PART is:
word *("." word)
In other words, a pattern of characters delimited by periods. The definition for "word" is either a "quoted-string" or an "atom".
A "quoted-string" is pretty much what it sounds like: a pair of double quotes enclosing a text string consisting of zero or more characters. The characters can either be qtext or a quoted-pair. For qtext characters, the only limitations is that they may not be a double quote, a back slash or a CR (ASCII 13). A quoted-pair is "\" followed by any character.
An atom on the other hand is any string of zero or more chararacters that is best described by what's disallowed rather that what's permissible. An atom may contain any character except the following:
control chars (ASCII 0 to ASCII 31{HEX: x1F})
space char (ASCII 32 {HEX: x20})
any of the following "special" characters:

IP matching is a good idea, too. Unfortunately, your regular expression does not match 0-255. Example: the number "227" is greater than zero and less than 255, but fails your RegEx because you do not allow numbers greater than 5 in any given position.

I ran across the following URL when trying to figure out how to do 0-255 in RegEx:

http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/21284/fid/566

Then I substituted it in place of your manner of checking for 0-255, yielding the RegEx given at the top of my post. That RegEx appears to work. Support for RFC 822 still isn't included, though..... anyb

That RegEx appears to work. Of course, as pinetree mentioned in his/her post (06/16/2003 03:54:07 PM), there are other examples that aren't trapped by your original RegEx o

Comment: Except that per RFC 822 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html), the following email addresses are valid but would be trapped as invalid by this code. Specifically, look at Appendix A (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html#z10), section A.3.3.

BTW, Does HTML Work Here???

I think this change should make it *perfect*:

Comment: The regex below is also from this site, it validates an ip address in the form 255.255.255.255 -- if it were combined with the email pattern above, the error above would not exist.
Of course, the best way to test an email address is to send e-mail to it.

Comment: A very good pattern, except that it allows some invalid IP addresses. For example, it matches this:

Try invoking claustrophobia! Make a section of a hall/trail really tight via walls, blankets, nets, whatever. Fear of enclosed spaces is a totally different kind of fear than "boo!", so it helps spice things up a bit.
We have been in kind of a rut in the past years with our scare tactics using the same style of scares. I would like to hear from others some of there favorite scare tactics.
Other than BOO!! haha
Try invoking claustrophobia! Make a section of a hall/trail really tight via walls, blankets, nets, whatever. Fear of enclosed spaces is a totally different kind of fear than "boo!", so it helps spice things up a bit.
Think in reverse.
Not "what's a good scare" then you have to figure out how to implement it into your theme and scene. Instead look at the scene. Stand in the room, feel the room... "channel it" if you will!! Now with the room in mind, what would scare you in there? What would you expect? What wouldn't you expect?? Too many times we go for the obvious. Think outside the box. Years ago had a customer in line, he had worked several haunts, was telling his friends to stick with him, he would show them where all the scares would be. When they got out he came over and asked if he could talk to the owner/mgr. Said he was going to show his friends how the haunt business worked and kind of "lined" them up to receives the scare, then it came from a different location. Tried it in the second room, missed again! Friends told him to shut up and enjoy yhe haunt! Said he was wrong almost every room! Scares in the rooms didn't come from the obvious spots which increased their effectiveness.
If you fit the scare to the room instead of the room to the scare it becomes more "organic", it doesn't appear forced but natually part of the environment. Think outside the box, move things that wouldn't move, come from places you don't expect, use things to scare that you wouldn't expect. Then if you do have to have a scare from a normal obvious place...IT becomes unexpected!!!

There's a champion in everyone. All it takes is quality instruction, determination and practice. Our eight-week, self-paced course is taught by certified instructors who'll help bring out your best as an archer.
Whether you're a intermediate archer looking to improve your technique, an advanced archer wishing to compete at national and world class competitions or an experienced hunter looking to refine your abilities, this eight-week course will take your skills to a whole new level. Our National Archery Association (NAA) certified instructors will teach you to hit a bullseye at a distance of 50 meters with the proper form and technique. We provide instruction in both compound and recurve bows.

The winter course will take place indoors and the summer course will be offered outdoors.
Requirements: Participants are strongly encouraged to provide their own bow; however, bows are available for rental ($40 for the eight weeks). Each participant is required to bring some personal equipment, including at least five arrows, armguard, hip quiver, fingertab and arrow lube. (Bow sights are required on compound and recurve bows).

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Smurfs Encourage Kids to Get Outdoors
Little blue gnome-like creatures helped the U.S. Forest Service kick off its latest campaign to get people out into the woods. Partnering with the Ad Council and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the Forest Service recently launched its Discover the Forest campaign featuring the Smurfs and their new movie, The Smurfs 2.
Studies have shown that the time children in the United States spend outdoors has declined 50 percent over the past 20 years. Population shifts to urban and suburban environments, an increase in children's indoor activities, and a lack of awareness of, or access to, nearby nature locations have contributed to this trend. However, research shows there are many benefits to kids spending time in nature. Time spent outdoors gives children the ability to explore, use their imaginations, discover new wildlife and engage in unstructured and adventurous play. Read more »
