Post subject: NG3 Hands-on Impressions
Alright, I'm going to write as much as I can. Have way too much going on personally at the moment and getting back to my house after escaping for a while is bringing it all back. If I leave things out, just reply here and ask. I likely just forgot to put it in there.
I'm not going to talk too much about the presentation as most of you have likely seen a walkthrough or two at this point. It looks really good but not quite amazing or jaw-dropping. Very clean. The PS3 version definitely appears to be the lead platform as it was running the demo build at a much smoother clip. I noticed one framerate hitch at the same time every time I played the PS3 build and it appeared to be a loading zone for the next area. The 360 build had some noticeable screen tearing and slowdown that the PS3 version simply didn't. I'm a 360 guy personally so this kind of annoys me, but keep in mind this build is incredibly early-on in development.
There were no major changes to the control layout at all. The "Ninja Sense" ability to figure out where you're supposed to go next is back from Sigma 2, however, which is where I pulled my earlier answer about the game being more linear akin to NG2 rather than hub-based like our favorite entries in the series.
Quick aside because it was asked: Unlabored Flawlessness is not likely to make a return. I asked, got a dodgy answer, and then just assumed that it wouldn't be in on account of the new emphasis on cutting this time out. Don't rule it out for sure, though, as I'll be explaining a bit more about Steel on Bone in a second. Let's just dive into the gameplay, shall we?
I'm going to start with what stayed the same, gameplay-wise. Movement feels about the same as Sigma 2, which is to say that Ryu moves relatively quickly but the dodge move (a slide this time out) into Wind Run (or a normal jump, naturally) into a dodge isn't as fast as roll-jump was in NG/B. You still have your Light Attack, Strong Attack, Jump, and Shuriken. I think it's safe to assume there will be additional ranged weapons but I could not get confirmation on that. Also, it's probably safe to say that Shuriken will stay mapped to one button and additional secondary weapons will be controlled via a different one a la NGS2.
Of particular note with Shurikens is the Shuriken cancel is back in full effect this time out. It was rather curiously absent from NG2 in any meaningful way but we can definitely do it again. It works after 1, 2, 3, and 4 light attacks in the demo build with the DS. I was able to confirm this with a new friend of mine that you guys may know by the name of Monty Oum. Easily one of the coolest guys I've ever met and we hit it off rather nicely; we're keeping in touch. He is a massive NG fan and knows more than most of the Master Ninjas present here about the game systems, so I'll talk to him about stopping by for a visit. We also talked shop about Ryu, so expect him to be rather commanding in Dead Fantasy. But I digress!
Wall running is back and about as useless as it was in NG2. Almost no point to it from what I could see in the demo build other than occasionally missing a turn you wanted to make because Ryu runs around the wall and misses it. Also, before you ask, I did try to wall jump up the demo's sole Kunai Climb section. You can't. I'm not thrilled either.
On to the new stuff. A good majority of Ryu's standard strings with the DS are changed, have different inputs, or were removed altogether. The good news is that his new strings are decidedly cooler-looking and more fitting for a Super Ninja. We're talking much more fast teleports complete with shadow Ryu's trailing behind and some really cool new context-sensitive (not QTEs) aerial juggles. Izuna Drop is still the same inputs and now instantly kills normal enemies seemingly regardless of when you hit them with it in the string. The AoE is toned down, though you still have an obscene amount of i-Frames to play with after the fact.
His new sliding dodge replaces the dodge roll and dash from previous games and can be used offensively as it will hit enemies. It does no damage but will knock an enemy back. If the enemy is already staggered, it launches them slightly. At this point you can move into a new string that I referenced before that only works with this launch. If you hit Light Attack and then Strong, you'll re-launch and follow them into the air. There are a few possible strings at this point. One makes you look like a tool for just mashing Light Attack because you do a few slashes and fall. Another is very reminiscent of Storm of the Heavenly Dragon, with Ryu slicing through from multiple angles in midair. The final is similar to the Underworld Drop from the Blade of the Archfiend. All very cool stuff but hopefully these moves are accessible from more than just that particular setup as the dodge does not seem to lock on to enemies like normal attacks (for good reason naturally) and you miss a lot when you try it.
Reverse Wind is still in the game (dodge after receiving a hit that you block) however that does bring me to one rather glaring issue I had in the game: either the build I played was experiencing the same issue every time I played it regardless of platform or they have built an annoyingly large buffer window into the game's combat system. Almost every single time I attempted to continue attacking on-landing from an aerial string, Izuna, or simple jump, my first and sometimes second inputs were "eaten." Nothing would happen at all. To paint a picture, say I wanted to cheese out a smaller horde of enemies and just Izuna all of them so I could conserve my UT and play around with the plentiful i-Frames. Izuna number one is fine since I just run up to the poor soldier and realign his spinal column more to my liking. On-landing, just like in old games, I immediately input X, Y, X, X, X, Y or the PS3 equivalent. No problems with my inputs as I've been doing this for years. If done at my normal speed for the franchise, I will always hit the enemy with a standing Strong Attack and since there is no Strong -> Light string in this demo, I stand around looking like a moron and more often than not eat a grab from the enemy I should have been crushing into oblivion. This is a huge problem for those of us playing this at the speed Ryu should move at. I did bring it up but got a token "this is a very early build" response. Hayashi-san was relatively receptive to other feedback, so let's hope this is just the build that was available.
Moving on, I'll address the thing most of us here were dreading the most: QTEs. Don't worry about them. That's my final word on it. They aren't true QTEs in the middle of combat. In fact, the only QTEs in the whole demo involved sliding under an obstacle in a mini-cutscene that almost appeared as if you could not fail. Sorry, I have an issue with dying in NG so I didn't purposefully try to fail it. In combat, though, the attack buttons that come up seem to be nothing more than a reminder to be pushing SOMETHING to move your sword through your opponent. I purposefully pushed the wrong button when a prompt would come up and Ryu still skewered the guy. Additionally as you may have noticed those prompts stop coming up. This build is said to be the first level and for me they stopped after I performed my first (and only, but more on that later) stealth kill. This was roughly 2/3rds of the way through the demo. There may be more QTE sequences down the line but at least in combat things are completely fine.
If you do NOT push something when you slice into someone, though, the enemy will knock you away from them and take a chunk of your life with the attack. But we don't just let our enemies breathe, do we?
On the subject of life, while the art for the bar appears to be placeholder, there was a rather large regeneration that happens out of combat. He regenerates the whole bar after an encounter. I didn't notice when I was playing because honestly I wasn't getting hit (highest available difficulty in the demo was Hard, so I was a bit disappointed there), but watching others play it was kinda nuts. I do not believe there will be full regeneration in the full game, however. The Falcon save point definitely does fully restore your health and that will be in the final game similar to the Dragon Statues but there was only one in the whole level, which took me roughly 15 minutes to beat, cutscenes excluded. Most people were clocking in around 20-30 minutes, so I don't think the saves will be too much of a crutch, for better or for worse.
Flying Swallow is gone, which is likely due to the fact that decapitations are also gone. He now impales the enemy with his sword and throws them to the ground, letting them bleed out. You've seen the move before but I wanted to re-iterate that it is the new Flying Swallow. The bleeding out stuff I mentioned is a relatively good segue into talking about OTs. They ARE still in the game but not in the same capacity. When you mortally wound an enemy through a SoB move or the new Flying Swallow (again, no moveslist so that's what I'll call it), they start to spurt blood everywhere and then either stagger for a bit before falling or they fall over and start to crawl. At either point you can run up to the enemy and hit an attack button to trigger an OT which immediately kills them. This seems to be 100% for flash, however, as the enemies in this level posed no threat at all once down. They crawled around helplessly until I either left the area or finished them off. No attempts were made by them to attack me in that state.
There was a question asked by someone about whether enemies will follow you and the answer is "no," but not the way it used to be. You simply cannot leave an engagement in NG3. Invisible walls, obstacles you cannot pass, and scripted events all served to ensure you do not skip a fight in the demo build. It could be different in the final game but if you need to run at this stage, you're gonna die.
UTs have been replaced in this game by Ryu's new technique where he dashes and puts up to three enemies into a mortally wounded state. There does not seem to be a distance requirement as he simply teleports to any enemy currently engaged with him. This might be part of the reason for the closed-off encounters that seem to be the norm in this title. If the enemy is holding a shield he will use one of the slices to take out the shield and then cut into the enemy, so it's best to knock the shield out of their hands with a single Strong Attack first (that's all it took in the demo) and then trigger it. It's essentially easy mode and honestly it's very underwhelming and not as rewarding as the older system we've had since HP1 and NGB. The new UT is triggered after simply killing a few enemies, though I seemed to gain another stocked UT faster if I killed the enemies in quick succession. If you do not have UT stock, indicated by the glowing red arm, you can still hold the Strong Attack button down. You do not unleash any special move this way, really, though you will do a different move. The 360+Strong attack is back but cannot be charged, or couldn't at this stage of the game. The new system for weapons does progress with the story, so this stuff could change. Because of the way the new UT is implemented, though, I'm not holding my breath.
I know I'm missing some stuff but I'm tired and have a lot on my mind, so I'll simply leave you with this for now: I'm not digging it. The Kunai Climb stuff, while forced, isn't actually a big deal and is very quick. Might be a pain on MN depending on how they scale damage and how quick enemies will appear to try and knock you down, but I'm not anticipating many problems there. My biggest issue is that it simply doesn't "feel" right. The atmosphere doesn't strike me as a NG title. NG and NG2 both had a very strong vibe about them when I started them up for the first time and it was striking to me. Very absorbing and I immediately felt compelled to master the games. Yes, even Ninja Gaiden 2. But this one? I'm fighting generic soldiers in a non-descript section of what I'm told is London. There's nothing wrong with the graphics, that is definitely Ryu I'm controlling, and the action, with the exception of the weird buffer window I spoke on earlier, is still pretty fast and intense. It just doesn't feel like a Ninja Gaiden at this stage. Maybe with final music in place and a different setting (though I did get to play it by myself on a 60" Plasma with nobody around...) that may change.
I am, at this point, not terribly impressed. Let's give Team Ninja the benefit of the doubt, though; if anyone can pull off a AAA action title, it's them. It's still early on.
I'll leave you with this random tidbit I wrestled out of Hayashi-san that I don't think is up anywhere else yet: Ryu's rival (when I asked, Hayashi-san smiled and said "He has no name; he is masked man!") is an Alchemist. I had set some concept art with Ryu and this other enemy stabbing each other as my wallpaper on my phone and showed it to him. He directed my attention specifically to the enemy's left arm and was very specific about the left arm and how he collects power there. Which arm on Ryu is cursed? His right arm? Interesting...
The last thing I'll mention is something that Monty himself noticed that even I didn't: our Masked friend is using an enlarged fencing sword, so fighting him should be different than any other rival-type character to date. All interesting stuff. Feel free to reply below and I'll get to what I can as I'm sure I missed plenty.

Wow, great post man, thanks!
Well my issue is the QTE and the slow mo that comes with it during like sliding under trucks...etc.
I did know the QTE during combat will go away, but even so, the SoB will happen randomly which I hateb because if you have a combo in mind before attacking the enemy it wont happen considering you dont know if SoB will kick in or not.
Also, the QTE during SoB, can you press any of the attack buttons to make Ryu do the full SoB if enemy is resisting? If so, then fine, then its a some crap like God of War were its trial and error.
The music will definitely deliver I am sure, I have more faith in the composers than Hayashi himself.
And no matter what, I will always hate the kunai climb and doing the shoulder buttons crap.
But if you could just hold up on the analog stick and he would climb up, better, but QTE those? c'mon man, its annoying.
Now he says Steel-on-Bone so I am guessing all the weapons have to have steel and focus on swords, so I want Kitetsu back, that one is the best sword IMO, especially when you can pull a phantom blade out of the original one and use it as dual sword.
As the game is only in 30% stage, this being tutorial and the DS seems to be level 1 or 2, I have my doubts.
I know I will buy it when it comes out I just hope the final product is bareable to play and enjoy.
And the whole no decapitation is ridiculous IMO.
We see Ryu making gigantic swings towards arms, legs, torsos...etc. and we see galons of blood but the actual body is still attached? *sigh*
Though I am glad the PS3 is running great...now if only we could get custom music for it!

I knew Hayashi was going to make PS3 the lead. Thats actually pretty unfair to the 360 owners. In this day and age things should be equal. Personally I haven't decided if I'm getting it on either yet.
The alchemy thing reminds me of Amnael because he also had a hooded tunic and a mask. I find it funny how he references his left arm almost as if it is going somewhere.
I just remembered I wanted to ask about the missions. Its probably too late now. But do you know if they are available on all difficulties or are they being grouped again.

Not unfair.
Majority of all games ar ebeing favored over to 360 and then the PS3 gets the crap end of it, always.
I am glad they make PS3 the lead platform and then port it over to 360, and screentearing...etc. can be patched (Darksiders).
Anyways, I saw the art when Mohshin showed it here (love it, though i hate the fact Ryu is getting a sword through him!) and Regent of the Mask has this weird arm like Ryu but his is different abit.
Even gameplay video showed it off.
From the demo, he didnt do anything wow other than awesome afterimage dash but thats it.
But I am sure it is like Murai scenario.
First counter you beat his butt, but he comes back being stronger and better.
About the missions, as long as he adds solo Mission Mode for Ryu i am good, and with big levels like NG2 had and not a small box like NG1 were you barely couldnt move.
Anyways, I am very effy about this game, but then again early stage, tutorial stage, demo, game comes out in 2012.
Much to see, but first impressions are important, this one sucked lol

Point scoring between the two is irrelevant. PS3 is being ditched because the developers can't develop for it. So the PS3 gets dumped. How is it any better the 360 getting the scrapings? Fact: Most people don't even notice differences between the two and nor do they care.

Red Dead Redemption...Bayonetta.
Clear titles with clear differences how 360 is better while PS3 is worst.
If they develop on PS3 first and then port it to 360 its easier and faster.
Like Vanquish, Dead Space and some others I cant think of right now.
I am glad devs are going with PS3 as lead platform considering its harder to develop for.

And yet despite them being two of the most notable, several friends of mine still didn't notice the difference.
But I can perfectly understand what your saying

Thanks a lot for your impressions Cyber.
Puuh, the
is my BIGGEST concern. Actually I cant believe they will keep it in the final game, but who knows what this new TM is up to.
Also very sad to hear that a NG veteran like you didn´t "feel" the striking force that other NG titles gave you.
In terms of the masked guy: to me it was kinda obvious that the regent of the mask has an "infected" arm as well and that he can summon something with it. Just look at the concept art of Ryu and him. You can clearly see that he gathers some kind of red orbs with his hand. I came to this conclusion especially after the extended walkthrough on gametrailers. Though nice to know that he´s an alchemist.
Really appreciate all your efforts Cyber. Always nice to get something from you when a new NG title is on the horizon.
Do you mind if I post your impressions on Iberians???

Sounds like a NG to me. The UTs are good IMO. Desperately trying to avoid the yellow essence was pretty annoying in NG1 and NG. IMO the changed UT is more rewarding than in the previous games because you actually have to work for it now and it seems like you can ONLY get one by killing enemies (instead of charging your weapon miles away). Your impressions baout that kunai climb stuff till sounds somekind of, ehrm, "a feature we needed to make Ryu more like a ninja, even if it it's totally pointless in a game like NG"
Let's see if the places where you fight are big enough for spacing etc.
And I still hope for manually triggerin the SOB events in the final game....
Thx a lot for the "little" review, Cyberdev.....evil
P.S. Are the enemies still as throw-happy as in NG1 and NG2? Can you block throws from smaller enemies (Sigma 2 introduced to the gameplay)?

Good read Cyber.
I guess we'll see.
Doesn't sound too hot so far from those impressions. Hope it improves...

Guys, let's keep console favoritism out of here. No arguments. I included how the builds played purely to note how the engine ran because TN made a point to say it was multi-platform. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Wanderfalke, that's fine, but it'd be nice if those guys actually let me register. I did try years ago and my email address was blocked. But post away.
Female Tengu, the enemies aren't throw happy at all. I was grabbed twice and both times were because I purposefully didn't press something in a Steel on Bone event. Also, SoB is much more frequent on higher difficulties.
One thing I forgot to mention is that you never have to stealth kill. I ran full speed into the smoky area and fought normally. The camera does zoom in too much and tends to freak out if you play faster than it thinks you should though...

That was a very interesting read. Hopefully, within time it will turn out to be a great game.
Also, you shouldn't have any problems registering, CyberEvil. The reason why you may have had problems trying to register a year ago is due to the fact that we didn't have a second administrator back then; however, we currently have two administrators that are always on top of their game. In the past few days, we have seen an abundance of new faces so you should be able to register without troubles.

Alright I registered over there, however I'm likely to post anything I get here first by a rather large margin. And for those of you PMing me questions, please just ask in the thread. Just easier for everyone.

in a dream means that he may become blind. Wearing a golden necklace, or a silver necklace, or a necklace studded with gems in a dream means that one will become a leader, or that he could receive something in trust.
Gold Dream Explanation
— Any
plated ornaments in a dream means emulating mundane people, or outwardly imitating spiritual people, or ostentatiously acting like them. Pure
or silver in a dream means purity and sincerity of one's intentions, making a true covenant or signing a peace treaty.
plated or silver plated ornaments or
leaf objects in a dream represent a short life, changing circumstances, spending long and sleepless nights, or it could mean forgetfulness. Wearing any manufactured or handmade piece of jewelry in a dream means perpetual earnings. The same interpretation is given to
foils. (Also see Goldsmith)
Gold Dream Explanation
— • Seeing gold: Sorrow and forced expenditure.
• Seeing
covered with mud or hidden somewhere or somehow, though you know where it is: Failure.
• Perceiving
as stored somewhere or placed in bags without seeing its color: Good dream; should expect gains, provided you are a pious person.
• Wearing
, in general: Will enter into a marital relationship with people of a lower standard.
• Wearing a
bracelet or bangle: Will inherit.
• Wearing two
bracelets or bangles: Troubles are ahead by your own making, as for men
, especially in the form of bracelets, is usually a bad omen or a reference to liars, as reportedly stated by the Holy Prophet. But for a virtuous person the same dream could mean more obedience to God and greater prosperity, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran that reads: "… therein they will be given armlets of
and will wear green robes of finest silk and
embroidery." ("Surat Al-Kahf" [The Cave], verse 31.) The same dream could also mean gains achieved with hardships.
• Wearing a golden or silver anklet: Will experience fear or go to jail. In any case, anklets, for men, symbolize chains, and all sorts of jewels and ornaments for them are bad, save the pendent, the necklace, the ring, and the earring.
Gold Dream Explanation
in a dream also represents the elements of festivities, joy, profits, good deeds, dispelling stress, marriage, children, knowledge, spiritual guidance, or literally the business of goldsmith. If one sees
turning into silver in a dream, it means decrease in value, or changing conditions in relation to women, children or properties. The opposite is also true. If one sees silver turning into
in a dream, it means increase in value, the rising moon of one's wife, children, business or clan. Any
embroidered garment or fabric in a dream means religious offerings.
Gold Dream Explanation
— • For women, bracelets and anklets refer to the husband. Jewels symbolize their children.
is the male child and silver the girls. Unmanufactured
is worse than
made into jewels, because in the latter case its ugly name, thahab (gone), is changed into bangle or something else.
• Wearing a pendant or necklace: Will be entrusted with some high function or given a country or city to rule.
• A man wearing a pendent partly made of gold: Will perform the pilgrimage to Mecca (Mecca (Makkah)). If the pendent is completely made of
, he will become a ruler or a chief. In general, the pendent symbolizes man's power and value. The longer and the heavier the better.
• A man wearing a golden earring: He is a good singer.
• Receiving a golden ring, a typical ring: Weakening religious faith, unless something is carved on it.
• Receiving a golden ring that does not look like a ring and with nothing carved on it: Will lose some belonging or will arouse the chief's wrath and anger.
Gold Dream Explanation
— In a dream,
is a disliked element which cause damages, anxiety and losses. Wearing a golden bracelet in a dream means receiving an inheritance. Wearing a golden ornament in a dream means marriage to an incompatible person. Any wedding gift one receives from such a person means trouble. Receiving a golden bar in a dream means losing money or business. If one sees himself melting a bar of
in a dream, it means that he will be persecuted for committing a loathsome act and he will become the talk of the town.
Gold Dream Explanation
dinars (coins) are the least harmful, because Daniel the Wise was reported as saying that having more than four dinars in one's hand meant the dreamer would be hated and hear bad things commensurate with the number of coins. If the number of coins is known, worries will be minor. According to Ibn Siren, having one dinar of medium size is a reference to a nice and cozy house, five dinars means that the subject would do something acceptable, and an even number of dinars between one hundred and one thousand means that the dreamer will become a specialist in conducting tests. Giving a dinar to somebody means one will lose part of one's knowledge. Anyhow, contradictory views exist about the metal.
Gold Dream Explanation
Bars of
Dream Explanation
— Seeing bars of
or crockery made from
means losing some of a perbond wealth or the king or governor becoming unhappy or disillusioned with him.
Ring Dream Explanation
— It symbolises unlawful and haraam wealth and clothing.
Gold Coins Dream Explanation
— If the origin and quantity is unknown and they are more than four, its interpretation is somewhat unpleasant. It represents grief and sorrow which he will experience. Receiving any of these means his reputation will be harmed. This, in turn will lead to a dispute or quarrel. But if their quantity is known the matter will be less serious and it will be settled in due course.
, Silver Etc. Dream Explanation
— If a person sees himself in the act of melting
, silver, iron or lead and casting any of them into any form such as coins, it means he will become the subject of people's slandering and backbiting.
Coin without any Imprint Dream Explanation
— If this seen in his dream a son will be born in his house.
A Single
Coin or Coins up to Four Dream Explanation
— They represent his children whose numbers depend on the numbers he had seen.
A Silver or
Necklace Studded with Jewels Dream Explanation
— Seeing the above in the dream means that a person will be made to guard some trust. At times jewels, if mined and their quantity is not known, mean fortunes from which a person will derive much benefit.
Dry Grass Dream Explanation
— Dry grass serves as a harbinger for receiving
in the near future, Ibn Sirin (RA) used to refer to grass as pure
. One, when he was presented with a camel load of dry grass, he looked at it for a long time, then said: "I wish I had seen this in my dream!", for then he would have received

I've been looking forward to Star Wars: Empire at War for a while now, so of course I'm waiting all nervous and such for the demo to finish downloading. People have tried Star Wars RTS titles before and the results have gone from mediocre to outright terrible. With Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Battlefront franchises raising the bar in terms of sales and quality for games in a galaxy far far away this title has a lot to live up to. The ability to build your own Death Star in a RTS game? That's enough to get my geek flag flying.
You can hit up the download if you can find a server that isn't being hammered to see for yourself. I'll post some impressions when I have a chance to play for a little while, but I'm cautiously optimistic. As per request, here's a torrent for your downloading pleasure.

A recent downtown Southington walkthrough, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce's Central Business Alliance (CBA), highlighted some of the cosmetic work that is needed in the area.
"There's a lot more problems than you realize," said Chamber of Commerce President Art Secondo.
Some of the work cited included the repainting and other upkeep of the green benches, lampposts and garbage receptacles. These items are in various stages of corrosion and in the case of the benches, have been in place for over a decade.
Other areas of concern included gum spotted sidewalks, curbing issues, missing caps for water and gas pipes and litter accumulating in the grating around the trees. Members of the Southington Water Dept. responded immediately to the missing caps when notified of the issue during the walk.
"A lot of this is from the snowstorm," said Economic Development Coordinator Lou Perillo, referencing the early February blizzard that dropped more than two feet of snow in Southington. Payloaders were used to move some of the snow in the area and officials believe they may have caused some of the damage.
Town Attorney Mark Sciota told the CBA that now would be a good time to draft a plan and send it to the town. He suggested that the CBA break up the upkeep efforts into sections, perhaps 10, and continually keep up with the upkeep every year, in intervals.
The money for the upkeep could come from the town's general fund or any grants that the CBA may be able to acquire.
"The walks are great, but we need to put a plan together," Sciota said.
Town officials also briefly talked about cutting into the sidewalk at the intersection of High and North Main Streets, next to the Allstate building, allowing for an easier right turn and the possibility of making Merrell Avenue a one-way street, going east.
The talks in this area were relatively preliminary, as there are numerous steps that are needed before any action can be taken.

Seeing a band you love in a less than ideal setting can often ruin the entire concert experience. Fortunately The New Pornographers were able to escape this trap while playing UNC's Carmichael Auditorium last saturday night. Even though the stage was set up towards the middle of the tiny arena while the audience was sequestered to the seats roughly 20 feet away, the band was able to connect to the crowd throughout their set. The six-piece band played a fantastic set consisting of songs from all of their albums. Highlights included All The Old Showstoppers, Sing Me Spanish Techno and crowd favorite The Bleeding Heart Show.
Local favorites The Love Language opened the show with a rousing set that included new songs as well as songs from the bands first two albums. However, the highlight of the set was an energy filled cover of My World Is Empty by Diana Ross and The Supremes.

Published 19 hours ago on February 18, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch One characteristic of modern-day television "news reporting" is that the political news is not truly reported. Rather, if the interviewer disagrees with the one being interviewed, the session turns into interviewer grandstanding. Regrettably, this tactic is used by liberal and conservative journalists alike. However, it is usually not admitted, as the interviewer usually chooses to say things like "I want the truth" when he or she really wants to force the other person to admit the correctness of the interviewer. Over the weekend, Fox News' Chris Wallace grandstanded against White House Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller. However, Chris Wallace at least was honest about his wish: STEPHEN MILLER: … At a fundamental level, we could go down into the details, and you know, Chris, I can go down into details as much as you want to, but the bottom line is this… CHRIS WALLACE: Please don't! (laughs) This is a big problem. The responsibility of any good journalist is to get full and accurate information about a given topic. Isn't it? Not in the press of our day. Chris Wallace is a valued personality for the Fox News Channel. As a former CBS anchor for 60 Minutes, Wallace brings a well-known face and voice of the mainstream media to Fox, even though he is quite liberal politically, as are many in the entertainment and information professions. The problem is that the topic here, the facts justifying President Trump's National Emergency declaration on Friday over the still permeable US-Mexico border, are present in abundance. But Mr. Wallace did not want to know these facts, or perhaps worse, he did not want to let his viewing audience know this information, so he tried to prevent Mr. Miller from talking about those details. Stephen Miller, thankfully, was not having it. He insisted on giving a full and informed response to Mr. Wallace's questions, even though Wallace did not want to hear any information. The rest of the interview is comprised of Mr. Miller trying to dissemimate information and Mr. Wallace trying to block it and refuse it in order to sustain his own preferred narrative. Chris Wallace' point of view is that the President called a National Emergency for no good reason, and that President Trump is breaking the law by appropriating money for the Border Wall, something which only the House of Representatives can do, legislatively. However, the point of view expressed by Mr. Wallace and President Trump is that as Chief Executive of the United States of America, the President is responsible to preserve the country from invasion. For the President, the never-ending waves of illegals coming into the country and not being deported, but rather, released into the US pending trials that they often never attend years later, amounts to a slow invasion. Strictly speaking, President Trump is correct. The illegals are not (usually) armed representatives of a foreign power, but neither do they become American citizens. Many of them take advantage of generous provisions and loopholes in the law (Mexico teaches them how to do this!) and they therefore earn money but usurp the country of resources. It has been exceedingly difficult to move the level of interest in stopping illegal immigration in the US. Rush Limbaugh rightly stated in his program on Friday, February 15, what the problem is, and we include some of the details (as we should) for why Mr. Limbaugh says what he says here: There is a limit on a number of detainees. There is limit on how much of border and fence can be built. There's a limit on what kind can be built. There's a limit on modernization. This bill is filled with congressional edicts telling the president of the United States what he cannot do. Now, it authorizes $23 billion for Homeland Security, but it specifies $1.375 billion for fencing and bordering. But there are so many limits on this as to make this practically irrelevant — by design and on purpose, because I firmly believe that what members of Congress (both parties) actually want with this bill is to send a message that nothing is ever gonna happen as long as Donald Trump is President. The attempt in this budget deal is to send a message to you Trump voters that it's worthless voting for him, that it is a waste of time supporting him, because they are demonstrating that he can't get anything done. This is Pelosi in the House and Schumer in the Senate getting together, because they know when it comes to illegal immigration, these parties are unified, folks. For the most part, the Republicans and Democrats are for open borders. There are exceptions on the Republican side. But there are a lot of Republicans that don't want Trump to succeed even now. There are a lot of Republicans just after he was inaugurated who don't want him to succeed. So they come up with a piece of legislation here that is outrageous. It is outrageous in its denial of the existence of a genuine emergency at the border. They don't care. They will deal with whatever mess they create. They don't care how bad it gets because in their world, the only mess is Donald Trump — and since the Russian effort and the Mueller effort and everything else related to that has failed to get his approval numbers down (and that has been the objective from the get-go), this is the latest effort, and it won't be long… You mark my words on this. There is an emergency at the US-Mexico border. Last year almost half a million people were apprehended by the Border Patrol and ICE. Many, if not most, though, are still in the United States. They were not all sent back. Some were, and some of them probably have come back in yet again. The fact that our nation's borders are unrestricted in this manner is absolute folly. The more American people know the details about what is actually happening at the border, the more they support the wall's construction and President Trump's policies. We have seen evidence for this in polling even by liberal network outlets. President Trump managed to call attention to this topic and bring it into the center of the discussion of US domestic policy. Rasmussen reported that the level of approval of Trump's work to close the border is high – at 59 percent, with only 33 percent disapproving. The President made this an issue. Chris Wallace tried in his own program to deflect and dissuade information from being brought to the attention of the American viewers who watch his program. This is not journalism. It is reinforcement of propaganda on Mr. Wallace's part, defense against facts, and an unwillingness to let the American people have information and therefore to think for themselves. Unfortunately, such practices are not limited to Mr. Wallace. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and others all utilize this form of questioning, and it is a shame, because the news reporter no longer reports the news. When a talking head on TV or radio places himself or herself as the Gatekeeper to allow or prevent information from reaching the American people, this is highly presumptuous, ego driven and almost always, dishonest. Worse, such an approach reinforces this message to American people: "You cannot think for yourself. It is too hard, so we will do your thinking for you. Trust us!" This style of journalism became more and more popular over, under the "appearance" of "tough questioning." However the usual course of "tough questioning" is ideologically aligned with whatever the journalist thinks, and not at all about what is actually important. Chris Wallace is notorious for doing this with conservatives, and he does aggravate them, but he reduces interviews to an argument between the journalist and the person interviewed. And usually, this is not the story. This was made absolutely clear in the interview with Stephen Miller, even to the point that Mr. Wallace actually voiced the request, "please don't (give us all the specifics of this issue.)" Good journalism respects the fact that different people have different points of view. Agreement or disagreement with these points is what Op-Ed writing is for. But when Op-Ed is treated as hard fact journalism, we all lose. We included the whole interview video from the beginning here so that the viewer can take in the whole course of this discussion. It is well worth watching. And as it is well-worth watching, it is also well-worth each person's own personal consideration. People are smarter than the media would like us to be. Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest "This is America" reveals a shocking vision of the United States The Grammy Award winning Song and Record of the Year feature the very darkest vision of what America has become. Published 2 days ago on February 17, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch The Grammy Awards are the second of the three most significant musical achievement awards in the United States. Two of the anticipated awards that many fans of this event look forward to learning are the Song of the Year and the Record of the Year. The Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriters of a given song, where the Record of the Year goes to the artists, producers and engineers involved in crafting the recording (the "record") of a song. Both categories are huge and both usually go to an artist or organization responsible for a pop song. It also happens to be that usually the song that is picked is beautiful and in most cases, reflects the character of beauty (whether in music or lyrics or both) for that year. This year was quite different. Both awards went to Donald Glover, a.k.a. "Childish Gambino" for his song This is America. This song features a radically different tone than previous winners going back for many years. Though rap remixes are usually less musical, the Grammy winners among these mixes have nevertheless retained some relatively positive, or at least attractive, aspect. This is America is very different, especially when watched with its video. Musically, it is genius, though the genius appears to have gone mad. Glover paints a picture of some very positive segments in American life, but then destroys it with his audible form and message that says absolutely nothing positive, but even more so – it doesn't make sense unless one knows the context. That context is revealed in the video with frightening images: someone getting their brains blown out (we see the blood fly), a gospel choir shot up with an automatic rifle while they were singing, and cannabis, front and center, being smoked by the artist himself. This is America? For Glover, this song and others on his album do seem to reflect that point of view. Feels like Summer, one of Glover's other recent songs, also reflects this sense of hopelessness, though it is far more musically consistent. The video gives the most clear contextual information that one could ask for, and while the video is not violent, it features degradation in society, even though the people depicted appear to be trying to make the best of their life situations. The image Mr. Glover paints of America is a far cry from that which was known to most Americans only twenty years ago, and in fact, in many parts of the country where cannabis is still illegal there is a corresponding sense of positivity in life that is absent in Childish Gambino's California-esque view of life. There is a massive change that is taking place in American society. Our music and art reflects this change, and it sometimes even helps drive that change. The United States of today is at a crossroads. How many times have we read or heard THAT statement before? But does it not seem so now? The attempt of identity politics to separate our nation into groups that must somehow fight for their own relevance against other groups is not the vision of the United States only twenty years ago. Further, the normalization of themes such as drug-use and racism, the perpetuation of one in reality and the other as a mythological representation of how life "really is" in the US is radically bizarre. In discussions with people who do not live in the United States, we found that sometimes they believed that white-on-black racism really was happening in America, because the media in the US pumps this information out in a constant stream, often with people like Donald Trump as the scapegoat. But it is not true. Anyone in America's new "accused class" of white, Christian, European-descent males (and some women who are not feminists), will note that they are not racist, and in fact, they feel persecuted for their existence under the new mantra of "white privilege." But it does not matter what they say. The media pumps the message it wants to, and with such coverage it is easy to get to halfway believing it: I know I am not this way, but I guess things are getting pretty bad elsewhere because all of those people seem to be getting this way… This is the narrative the press promulgates, but upon conversations with people in "those places" we find that it is not true for them, either, and that they may in fact be thinking this is true about us. Made in America is a visionary song and video. However, the vision is not a dream; it is nothing that anyone in the country would sincerely hope for. Even in Donald Glover's case – as one of Hollywood's hottest actors, and as a big success in music, he is far from being one of the "boys in the 'hood." In fact, Time Magazine in 2017 named him one of the world's 100 most influential people. Certainly his musical work creates a powerful influence, but it also must raise questions, with the main ones being: Are we really like this? Is this what we really want to be as a country? Is this the kind of image we want our children in the US to adopt? In fact, if Mr. Glover's work was viewed with care (rather than just as something that is "cool" because the media says it is), it might help us steer away from the cliff that many Americans are in fact heading towards.

Continue Reading Latest Horrifying New York abortion law marks big Democrat push in US New Mexico, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont and Washington also wish to expand abortion access to truly barbaric proportions. Published 1 week ago on February 11, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch To some nations in the world, the United States may appear to be overly "conservative" or "backwards" regarding its general position on abortion. Russia, China, Canada, and Australia all allow this practice in generally unrestricted terms. Europeans are generally allowing of first trimester abortions. Social attitudes about the practice vary, with Sweden being the most permissive in terms of attitude, but Russia being the place where a woman is most likely to have had an abortion. While the legal position in the United States on abortion is generally legal under all conditions as determined by the outcome of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision in the US Supreme Court, the social context of the practice is highly debated and generally disapproved of, even by those Americans who believe that the procedure should still be kept legal. One of the most emotionally satisfying statements in the US that actually summarized the attitudes of many "pro-choice" Americans was that of Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton's statement that abortions should be "safe, legal and rare." In other words, the legality of the procedure is one thing, and the promotion of the procedure is quite another. It was summarized in this thought: We think that to be in the position of determining whether or not to abort a child is a horrifying and extremely serious matter. However, we believe it to be safer if this procedure is kept legal, lest it actually become dangerous because of inferior resources if it were banned, and done clandestinely. This point of view was generally accepted as a secular compromise to a horrifying situation. Far from the ultraliberal attitudes of progressive Europe, the United States remained a relatively conservative country, socially guided by Christian attitudes concerning the sanctity of life, even that life which is yet unborn. All this has changed. Starting with the signing of New York State's "Reproductive Health Act", many states are now moving towards ensuring that abortion is legal under all conditions, to the full term of pregnancy, even to the point where perfectly viable, birthed babies may be killed after delivery if the mother so desires. This report from New York was immediately followed up by this news item from Virginia's own Legislature, in its attempt to pass a similar law, made even more clearly brutal by Governor Northam's defense and explanation of the procedure post delivery in which a living baby would be subject to being deliberately killed at the wish of the mother. This law, like the New York constitutional amendment allows the unborn, or just-born (and alive even though "aborted"), no human rights. There is really no way this action cannot be seen for what it is: infanticide, a very particularly cruel form of murder of the innocent, on no further grounds than that the baby exists and that the mother does not want it. We covered in another news piece how this ability appears to be the prize "right" of feminist women, who were represented in Congress by the infamous Women in White, who sat stone-faced as President Donald Trump appealed for Congress to make and pass a law banning late-term abortions. However, the President's request was well-met by conservatives in the House chamber, and indeed, even some pro-choices were set off their guard by the New York and Virginia legislative moves. Virginia's attempt failed. Abortion is legal in the US, and it is legal at any point in the pregnancy in many states. This is not often reported, probably because abortion is not palatable to public discourse when a fully-formed, living baby is to be the subject of this procedure. The national discourse has for years been "safely" diverted to what appears to be more metaphysical debate about the unseen processes in pregnancy, such as "when does life really begin", and even "when does the embryo receive a soul?" This is probably by design to avoid the much harsher realities that were exposed in New York, Virginia and Massachusetts, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Washington and Vermont. All these states have either passed or are trying to pass laws that protect abortion rights, sometimes to similar extremes as New York's law contains. However, many other states, such as Colorado, already allow full and late-term abortion procedures. However, not every state in the US is trying to magnify abortion rights. Some are trying to limit this procedure, or even outlaw it entirely, should Roe v. Wade be overturned by the Supreme Court, a possibility that seems enhanced now with five "conservative" Justices on the US Supreme Court. States like Tennessee, South Carolina, Arkansas, and even the aforementioned Rhode Island are seeking passage of laws to sharply limit or completely outlaw the procedure in this event.

Interestingly, both the abortion rate and the actual number of abortions performed in the US has fallen drastically in the time period between 1980 and 2014. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention record that there were almost 1.3 million babies aborted in 1980, peaking at 1.43 million in 1990, before dropping again to 2015's rate of 638,000. Numbers and counts vary by statistical poll, however, with 2017's numbers showing 882,240 in this study. The common feature of declining numbers and rates is still evident. Statistical sources on this issue were not able to explain the reason for the drop in both rate and number of abortions, but a speculation might be that some exposure to the reality of what abortion actually is has served to deter both unwanted pregnancy from even happening, and also to try to find a way to take care of human beings guilty of nothing more than their existence. Perhaps this is too generous an assessment, but it is one possibility. President Trump was loud and clear on several occasions about his stance on the issue of abortion. His State of the Union speech featured his saying, "all children, born and unborn are made in the Holy image of God." This was followed up by further comments at the National Prayer Breakfast, in which he continued to show a strong pro-life position. Naturally, some pols dismiss this as nothing more than the President's attempts to energize his base for the 2020 elections. To credit such opinions, it may indeed do this. But President Trump has really put his money where his mouth is in terms of governing as a conservative, or at least, common-sense oriented President. The combination of Governor Andrew Cuomo's legislation, the Virginian attempt and the March for Life, featuring its highly slurred story about Roman Catholic teenaged boys who were at the event, plus the President's speech have made for a truly polarizing moment. To be sure, political winds in the US are so unruly now that longstanding position issues are now pushed aside in mere days, or even hours. However the mainstream media is hard-pressed to refute what happened here. The American Left tipped its hand, perhaps a little too much for even some who are ideologically liberal, and some of the harshest, most sinister aspects of their worldview were brought into focus. This reaction extends even to both real-life and Internet commentary on such news pieces. Tucker Carlson took on uber-feminist Monica Klein on his program on January 30th, and their exchange, most notably Monica's sheer fury, was a sign that the Left is energized on this subject, so much so that any sense of nicety has been discarded: For Ms. Klein, this issue is a source of pure anger, as is clearly evident on her face. This was not a woman who was playing the ideological talking head for the news media hit; far from it. She really believes what she says, and has taken that fury to the point of irrationality. Some comments on this issue appear in many publications that also reveal extremely fiery emotion on both sides. The rhetoric swings from "baby-killers" to "woman-haters" quite freely on this topic, and this is honestly a shame. Such emotional incendiary bombs are avoidances on both sides. While people call each other names, no one pays attention to the topic itself. This is, of course, by design. When the real issue is looked at, as was shown so clearly in New York and Virginia, the topic of the value of human life shows its profound reality to everyone. If that happened often enough or long enough, it might change the substance of the conversation. The result might then be a real change. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Soon after Windows Vista came out, many suggestions for tweaking the operating system to improve performance emerged. Unfortunately, most of those tweaks turned out to be pretty disappointing: they either provided the illusion of better performance but did nothing of substance, or they were rehashes of existing Windows XP tips that might note even be valid on Vista.
Still, there are plenty of things that can be done to make Vista run better. Over the past several months I've kept an eye peeled as to what actually works, what doesn't, and why. With less work than you might think, it's entirely possible to have Vista running quite snappily.
I've assembled here the fruits of that personal research into what works when it comes to making Vista run well. I've listed these in roughly descending order of effectiveness, with most effective first.
1. Add Memory: There is one undisputed Vista performance tweak that works: add memory.
Yes, I know; Vista requires a lot of memory. You need at least 512 Mbytes of RAM to install Vista — a lot more than Windows XP required. Debatable or questionable as this may be, it is simply the way Vista works, and there is no dancing around the issue. (Actually, you need 512 Mbytes to install Vista, but I've found that you can run Vista after the initial installation with less memory — although that's something of a losing proposition.)
In all fairness, six years have gone by since XP came out, and the baseline memory allotment for new systems is 512 Mbytes or more. Memory is now dirt cheap compared to what it was even a couple of years ago, so there's little reason to not load a system with a generous amount of memory. Everything, not just Vista itself, will run better as a result.
The baseline for good day-to-day performance in Vista seems to be about 1 Gbyte. If you have 512 Mbytes, bring that up to a full gig or more. My Sony VAIO notebook, for instance, runs Vista nicely with 1 Gbyte of memory, although I also don't run games or other extremely demanding applications on it. (Office 2007 runs very well, though.)
There are reasons why adding memory may not be immediately practical or possible. One is cost, especially if the only way to upgrade the current system is to replace all the existing DIMMs rather than add new ones. The strongest suggestion I can give here is: save your money. If you sock away $10 a week, then in about two months you've got enough money to pick up a very good set of matched 1-Gbyte DIMMs by current market value.
One question that I've been asked: Is it true that 32-bit Vista doesn't work well with more than 3 Gbytes of memory? The answer is, sadly, yes. If you're running the 32-bit edition of Vista, even if you have the physical capacity for more than 3 Gbytes of RAM, Vista won't use more than 3 Gbytes anyway. The memory space above 3 Gbytes in a 32-bit system is eaten into by system devices (like the video card) and cannot be effectively mapped out for user applications.
Boot 64-bit Vista, however, and the way memory is allocated changes radically enough to work around this problem. The one big thing holding back many people from using 64-bit Vista, even if they have a 64-bit machine, is device driver support — most legacy devices will probably never have 64-bit Windows drivers available for them.

This ended up going for over $1000.
Thanks for the clarification RB. Like Kalcidis mentioned, I could never figure out the Germain/Jah Life connection. And that is great news that this will be a future DKR release....very much looking forward to that.
Kalcidis, congrats on the job. Good to see you now have a little more money now to keep up with that record collecting obsession we all have. And good for you in going big on this one, but I'm assuming that was not you that ended up winning this.

Confession on Facebook
A couple of out of the ordinary drunk driving cases in Oregon on new years. Police were investigating a hit and run in Astoria when two people turned in their Facebook friend who had confessed to it in a facebook post. Another case in Oregon involved a man being arrested for drunk driving because his children called 911 from the back seat of his car to report him.

So here is my situation. I had the brilliant idea to set up virtual machines for my boys to use, and let them access them via an HP Thin Client, and Windows Remote Desktop. Great idea right? I thought so..... right up to the point where I wanted to introduce them to the Arduino.....
The Thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard (WES) an embedded version of XP. They then connect to their Win 8.1 pro virtual machines using remote desktop. Its actually set up so when they log into the the thin client (TC) the remote desktop session (RDP) auto launches and connects them to their virtual machine.
The directions that follow make the following assumptions:
- You already know how to setup and use an Arduino on a standard computer
- You are somewhat familiar with driver installations
- You understand the basics of making a Remote Desktop Connection and how to set its options prior to the connection.
The first problem is, WES does not have driver support for the Arduino. After much digging I stumbled upon this article - http://www.maxvalente.com/2013/03/installing-arduino-on-windows-embedded/ - which was instrumental in making this work.
I only needed 2 files from his list
- usbser.sys
- mdmcpq.inf
I originally tried copies out of a Windows 7 install, but I am not sure they will work. Not having a handy XP install, I turned to google. I found the needed files, and downloaded them along with the standard Arduino fileset from www.arduino.cc (download the zip and not the exe, since we only need the drivers at this point). Extract the Arduino zip someplace handy, and add the 2 above files to the drivers directory.
Plug in your arduino and let the driver install process start. Choose the driver folder location inside the arduino directory, and voila - you should have a functional Arduino COM port! (note: on both of my installs, I had placed a copy of usbser.sys into c:\windows\system32\drivers\ first. I am not sure if this is necessary or not. Also on one TC, it asked me to locate that file on my windows xp install disk, I just pointed it to the one in the above mentioned drivers directory and it worked fine)
Now on to the second problem!
Now that we have a working COM port for the Arduino on the TC - we need to pass it through to the RDP session. I have several hours of banging my head against the wall here, and its really a simple solution, courtesy of this post here: http://www.thinstuff.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&id=27
Long and short, upon making your RDP connection, click the options dropdown. then choose the Local Resources tab, followed by the 'more' button. Then check the Ports checkbox, and click OK. Then you can make your connection like normal (or save the connection for simple use later)
Once you connect to your remote session, your Arduino Com port should be passed through to the remote session, using the same Com port #.
Voila!! - you now have an arduino plugged into a Windows Thin Client, and passed through to the Remote Desktop Session of another machine.
