Boykins Pleads Guilty to Tillman Murder
Emanuel Boykins was sentenced to life in prison with the chance for parole in 30 years.
One of the men accused of beating Bobby Tillman to death at a Douglasville party in 2010 may have saved his own life by pleading guilty to murder Tuesday. Under an agreement with the state, Emanuel Boykins pleaded guilty to killing Tillman and was sentenced to life in prison with the opportunity for parole after 30 years, according to wsbtv.com. Boykins is one of four people charged with the murder of Tillman, 18, in November 2010. District Attorney David McDade said in June that unless the defendants agreed to plead guilty, he intended to seek the death penalty. Tracen Franklin still faces that possibility, while Horace Coleman and Quantez Mallory, 18, don't. Tillman's family, led by his mother, Monique Rivarde, filled the Douglas County …

If the shape of the Castelli Velocissimo DS Jersey is starting to look familiar, that's because it is. From the fabrics to the fit to the hardware, it's the same design as both the Castelli Free and Punto Tre jerseys. If your eyebrow isn't raised yet, like the aforementioned, the Velocissimo DS is the same design found on the backs of Team Garmin Barracuda, only differentiating itself through aesthetic.
Castelli constructed the Velocissimo DS from its proprietary Prosecco Strada fabric. This material was selected for three reasons -- its controlled stretch, light, breathable weight, and all-encompassing comfort. Going in order of operations, the controlled stretch of the fabric creates a supportive fit that dampens the effect of road vibration and oscillation in order to minimize muscle fatigue. Additionally, it permits Castelli to maximize the shape of the jersey for the perfect cycling fit.
Secondly, Prosecco Strada features a lightweight composition that feels light and airy on the skin, while remaining highly breathable. This has been furthered through the incorporation of subtly placed mesh side panels. So, you don't have to worry about overheating during long, exhaustive efforts in the saddle. However, no matter how good the material, sweat is inevitable. That's why Castelli also gave the jersey its patented Prosecco treatment. This process is a topical, hydrophilic treatment that spreads moisture out over a larger surface area for rapid evaporation. Ultimately, it keeps you cooler and drier over your race or club ride.
The Velocissimo jersey has been cut along a race style. In fact, an observant eye can see that the Garmin Barracuda Team jersey features the same cut, fabric, and components as the Velocissimo. But, what makes the fit pro-level? Well, Castelli designed the jersey on a contour -- this is most evident when the jersey is hanging on the rack. So, the seams are shaped to your body while it's in the cycling position. Additionally, the jersey has what Castelli calls, set-in sleeves. Essentially, this translates to a shift in the seam position that allows the sleeves to be inset in order to match the position of forward reach to the bars. By doing this, Castelli eliminates unwanted chest bulk, bunching, pulling, and the abrasion that comes as a result.
In addition to comfort, Castelli gave the Velocissimo jersey ample storage for your ride essentials with three rear cargo pockets. Additionally, the jersey features reflective accents throughout in order to increase your visibility in low-light conditions.
The Castelli Velocissimo DS Jersey is available in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large and in the color Acid Green/white/red, Anthracite/white/red, and Ocean/white/orange fluo.

Why do copperhead snakes have scales over their eyes? Michael of Croton-on-Hudson, NY
Dear Michael,
All snakes have scales over their eyes. They need these scales for protection, since they don't have eyelids. At certain times, however, a snake's eyes become cloudy. Do you know why?
As a snake grows, its skin doesn't. It must shed its old skin; this is called "molting." A snake's skin is in one piece like a glove that covers its body from head to tail. Before molting, a new layer of skin forms beneath the old one. Then a liquid spreads between the old and new skin which helps separate them. This liquid causes the snake's eyes to become cloudy. When the old skin comes off, its eyes clear up again.

Share your top tips here when discussing/debating theists.
I am going to be with some crazy fundy family this weekend, and I would like to plant some nice nugget info dump for them to digest on.
Help a girl out.
Tags: tips
first of all, welcome back, it's good to see you on TA again. it's been a while. :)
second, here's a couple of tips for you, first, make sure you're on the same page. ask the theist to define what god is to them. do this so that you don't debate for an hour or more before suddenly realizing that the god you're arguing against and the god they're arguing for are two different things.
ask the theist to give you their single silver bullet drop dead best evidence for god, the piece of evidence where if they only had one opportunity to justify their faith in god on evidence this is the evidence they would use, and then argue against that evidence. see, once you demonstrate why this "evidence" is nothing of the sort they can't expect you to take them seriously when they then try to move on to another piece of "evidence" when the first piece of evidence was meant to be their silver bullet. if you've shown how week that was then any subsequent piece of evidence is necessarily weaker than the first.
I like that chart. The abridged version is fine, and mentally I generally use that to gage whether or not to even grace a statement or comment with a response, but in the professional arena of lectures etc I am periodically confronted by christians who oppose evolution and/or are young earth imbeciles er,... proponents, who wish to have an in depth discussion about the subjects covered in my lecture. (What they actually wish to do is to debunk portions of the lecture by pointing out that my scientific data does not agree with "Christian Scientists" <I find that term a paradox!)
So it would be nice to simply whip out a discussion "contract" and have them look it over and sign if they are willing to abide by actual "rules" of objectivity, listen skill application, etc. Killing the "Parrot" affect where they simply drone on about God or Jesus loving me, or how one or both entities will save the world is such an annoyance in light of nothing to support either statement.
So I like the contract angle. I will print some up with multiple signature lines to keep with me during the event of my lectures, and use them to nullify the post lecture time wasters who detract from folks actually wanting to discus the topic of my work or to talk business with me after an event.
Thanks for sharing that here! Good tool!
It depends.
Logical arguments are great when you are engaged in a rational conversation; however, when faced with superstitious beliefs, you generally have to navigate personalities and psychology a little first. Shake the foundations. It's like a puzzle: you need to crack the lock on their brain before the alarms go off, security comes in and kicks you out for good.
Do not let them use woo woo on you.
Bring your woo woo shield ... and bring a sword to slay it with. If the dragon of irrationality is being summoned upon you - YOU MUST KILL IT QUICK!!!
Do not let any one of them change to a different point until they recognize your assertions and evidence against it. This sort of goes hand in hand with what Nelson said above. Theists enjoy jumping quickly to different 'arguments' ... because they have a difficult time actually thinking through deeply one specific point ... thinking clearly about their personal beliefs does not help a theists digestion.
You need to put the conversation on 'evidence' ... If you let them corner themselves into the 'I take it on faith' argument ... This is what you say ... "Well, if you are admitting there is no evidence to support your faith , then there is obviously just as much chance that your beliefs are wrong than they are correct ... and say that you believe Truth to be more meaningful than Dishonesty."
As Nelson said, make them DEFINE what their beliefs are. I would also allow them 3 points of evidence - rather than one. This allows you to pick apart 3 - while leaving them with nothing.
Good Luck, and let us know how it goes! (LOL.)
One that I find a little tricky is the argument from personal experience. For example: God spoke to me, I saw an angel, I felt the presence of Jesus, I experienced a miracle, I saw a sign. These can be hard to deal with, but it will also be hard for them to show how they know it was really "God" and not the devil, a hallucination, an illusion, a strong emotion, a trick of memory, etc.
A slight counterexample I have is this: I have an actual "memory" from when I was about 4 years old, that I saw a golden apple on television, even though we had only a black & white TV. I know that this didn't really happen, but I can't explain why I remember it that way -- maybe I misremembered this altogether, or saw an optical illusion of reflected light, or it was just invented by my overactive imagination, etc. But just because I don't have an answer, I can't jump to the conclusion that it happened via some supernatural agent.
In general I find that a counterexamples are useful in informal discussions. Often proofs for God work just as well for proving Zeus, Odin, leprechauns, big foot, invisible dragons & unicorns, etc.
One discussion I had with my mother when she first learned that I had crossed the point of no return left her speechless. She claims that Christianity is the ultimate truth. I asked her, "would you be a Christian if you were born in Iraq or anywhere else in the Middle East? Would you be a Christian if you were born in China or India?" Her response was no. I told her that her Christianity was purely an accident of birth. People can't decide where to be born, or in what year BCE or CE. How could a just and loving god only accept into his paradise people who were lucky enough to be born at the right time and in the right place?
I also really like Nelson's suggestion of getting their ultimate evidence out of the way first.
Okay here is a point of fact that really destroys Christians (in fact it will trigger their "does not compute" button in their brain quicker than almost anything else). Christians have key ideas that are droned into their heads. One of the strongest and most recurrent is the "There is only one true God" idea. It is the cornerstone of their faith and the premise for their "Truth". Since they are mono(single/one)-theists, they will tout that their one God must be correct and all other beliefs (beyond just atheism and agnosticism) are false.
So ask them who wrote the Old Testiment? The original books? They will tout Moses as the original author. A fact already debunked by several Church scholars doing their own independent research on the writings. Not only have several authors been found, but the evidence has pointed to one man in particular who IS the initiator of the Christian Holy books.
That person is Abraham, who was a Sumerian. He lived in a pagan society (polytheistic) and worshiped a number of Gods and Goddesses. His favorite was an entity known as Jaweh/Yaweh (later to evolve nomenclaturally into Jahovah aka: God). The problem for Abraham was that his favorite entity was not what one might call an "A" lister on the list of Sumerian God's and Goddess's. In fact he was not even a "B" lister. Jaweh was a mere "C" lister (just slightly above heroes and Demi-Gods in the eyes of the populace).
Abraham lived in the city of Ur. A great city with many temples devoted to the 4 Primary Deities of their faith, and to various Secondary Divinities. But Jaweh had a rather small following and was not in a position of high popularity among the people. He was a Deity much like a Greek "Muse" or the Norse God Bragi. He was seen as a "creative inspiration" type of God. He was also described as ruling the time of darkness (in the context of night, not evil). Anyway, Abraham loved this God above all others and wanted to push Jaweh into a position of prominence. When he attempted to argue a better temple and grander place for his favorite Diety he was eventually banished from Ur and begins to wander in the deserts. But there is where the brillant part occurs. Abraham was one of the few people who was literate. He begins writing and cleverly places Jaweh above other Deities as the one "Creator" God. He had figured out, and rightly so, that if he wrote it down it became truth in the eyes of the illiterate. Intelligence certainly does have a sort of magic when viewed by those lacking it.
You may now summarize to the stunned Christian that in point of historical fact their God and his son are actually just part of a pantheon of ancient Sumerian Gods and Goddess's. That they are in fact worshiping a minor God with good advertising, who was not that popular with the people who created him in the first place. You may also (if you have a cruel or sarcastic streak) ask them when they plan to start catching up on their late prayers and sacrifices to the Gods and Goddesses who are seen as the Father and Mother of Jaweh/Jahovah? And if they are going to deny God's parents and brethren the same respect that they have shown to this one little entity?
When they ask you for proof, you can smile and say, "The proof is in the history books and Sumerian writings. The onus is not on me to prove anything to you. I KNOW the truth about your God and his lineage and origins! The burden is on you to refute the facts, and bear in mind, that you will be upsetting God's parents, as you have your entire life, every moment that you only recognize one of their minor children, but ignore them!"
Have fun with this. It is historical fact, and due to the obvious laziness of Christians, they will seldom dig around to try to find the historical evidence. If they do you will see them leaving the faith behind them. To date I have caused two priests to leave the church and become ardent atheists, and most folks who I have talked with at length do not long remain strong Christians, or even in the faith period.
Intelligence is the superstition killer! Hope that this helps out.
Here are some very important points to keep in mind, things that the religious deliberately confuse in order to confuse the discussion and make their delusions seem rational:
1. The question of the origins of the universe and the question of god's existence are two separate questions. The fact that the religious constantly assume that they are the same question reveals that they are engaging in circular reasoning without even noticing.
2. One can be and should be agnostic with regard to the origins of the universe. Only a liar, a fool, or a madman would claim to know the truth about that.
3. There is no evidence for ANY supernatural thing, much less god. All scientific studies that have attempted to find such evidence, such as studies of the efficacy of prayer, found no evidence at all.
4. Believing in one supernatural thing and not others is dishonest. There is no evidence for any of them.
5. The existence of the universe is proof of god only if you assume god is the only possible explanation. (See #1 and #2 above) No one knows what the possible explanations are. There is no reason to think that "invisible magic men" belong on the list of possible explanations--but a lot of reasons to think that they don't.
6. All the invisible magic men theories used to explain gaps in knowledge in the past have turned out to be wrong. Not a single one had any validity. The idea that it is logical to assume that "if we can't explain something then it must be an invisible magic man" has been thoroughly discredited.
See this blog for ideas:
Finally, don't forget that they are not sane. You wouldn't spend too much time arguing with the inmates of an asylum or worry about what they think. Pretend you are a doctor making her rounds on the psych ward. That will make it easier to maintain the right frame of mind during the ordeal.

By Kevin PerryThe penthouse suite at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes was once the most expensive in the world. At nearly £24,000 per night, nowadays it's considered merely the fourth costliest on earth. So what's the view like from the opulence of the seventh floor? Probably of your yacht, so long as Roman's isn't in the way. Then, if you look west on a clear day, down the curving stretch of the beachfront known as la Croisette, the landmark at the far end is the squat glass pile of the Palais des Festivals. That's the business end of Cannes, where for the two weeks of the festival hustlers converge at the Marché du Film to hawk all manner of art house and erotica, densely plotted thrillers and cheesy B-movies, most of which will probably never see the dark of your local cinema.

Mixed reviews is all I received about this horn online. I am giving an unbiased opinion on how this horn plays. I might have a skewed view, as I play on a metal meyer 6 facing and 3 fibracell reed. This horn plays amazing!!! The tone is very mellow yet bright(if using the silver plated brass neck). The dark tone of the black nickel ads such richness to the overall color of the instrument. Once warmed up this saxophone creates the "pro" sound I wanted. I am a tenor sax player who plays on a yamaha 82z black lacquered tenor and finds that the Giardinelli offers such a nice contrast. Not only am I satisfied with my purchase, but I am also surprised about the price. The only downfall is the rumors about this Czech made horn not holding up to father time. As of right now I cannot corroborate these rumors,but my satisfaction of this horn stays the same. A great horn for a great price. This is a pro horn for sure!

I submitted an application with Yaroslav only to have my own move date suddenly change, and that's the only reason I didn't rent from him. He's awesome.

Using our unique, powerful software the diamonds on our website are listed directly by the DTC siteholders, the very guys who cut the diamonds. They set the price not us. We work as brokers and take a fee from them rather than the traditional retail margin from you which explains, in part the savings you can make. You can not get closer to the source. Our software examines the daily data feeds and identifies those stones that are the most keenly priced and marks them with a gold star to draw your attention to them. Our software then very cleverly, scours the internet and all of our competitors and calculates the average price being offered for like stones elsewhere. Hover over the gold star to see this market price and understand the extraordinary savings offered on this page. One word of caution; these stones are on the open market and may sell before you reach your decision or your transaction is completed. If this happens then we will endeavour to secure a replacement stone.
REMEMBER: Unlike other sites these prices are NOT guide prices, NOT theoretical prices. The price you see is the price you pay for the diamond, including VAT & delivery. There are NO hidden charges & we have a money back guarantee. Flag the diamonds that appeal and then click any compare button to see and compare full details. Need help? FREE PHONE 08080-342666 - Remember the number as 08080-DIAMOND
More information:
Prices We ensure that the price of all goods and services we are offering are clear and easily found. This means we show the actual price clearly. There are no hidden extras, such as taxes, packaging or delivery. Before agreeing the contract, we will confirm the actual price you will pay. If the nature of our business means that we may have to change the price between accepting your order and delivery, we will automatically give you the option to cancel your order and get your money back. In the event of human error or malfunction in the technology, the prices on the site do not commit us to sale; until a price is agreed and we accept payment. Our systems do accept credit card details at point of order, however the card is only charged at point of sale i.e we have talked with you and agreed terms and prices.

On Rage Quitting Webcomics and Strip Searching for Answers
Posted at in Comics, pflugervillains
Remember a couple weeks back when I was bitching about how time consuming this endeavor is? Well, I think I've finally found the answer.
Of course, you'll have to excuse my n00b as I'm fairly green to the medium. I understand that I tipped the bit a panel early and that color, in general, is not generally accepted. But I tried and that's the important part, right?
I've got a couple of talking points so do me a favor and hold on to your dicks because we're in for a long one.
Rage comics, in general, are terrible. I'm sure we can all agree that most are nonsensical and poorly written. This comic is of no exception. Although what rage comics have demonstrated is that webcomics are accessible to anyone who has a penchant to fill-in-the-blank and while this has a propensity to dilute the medium, it provides a voice to those who may lack artistic talent. What was interesting with the trend- at least in my case- is that the words bore much more of the yoke in the meaning. What I mean to say is, that it wasn't just pretty pictures carrying the message. I found myself blocking out any art altogether and keying in on the Courier New for brevity. Because I had a predisposition to believe that the comic was going to suck, I read for speed any time I saw the familiar four panels. The important part of it was that I was reading. I'm sure there can be some interesting study done on the psyche of the rage comics phenomena but I neither have the time nor the graduate sociology thesis to fulfill.
I want to share a bit about me now, so let go of your dicks and gather 'round.
If you're unfamiliar with webcomics, then penny-arcade.com is almost always a good place to start. They're one of the most successful in the business and an example in the industry of how to run a successful company. Recently, they ran a kickstarter campaign with a goal to raise enough money to run their website (and provide for their staff) without the need for an ad-based revenue model. As one of their stretch goals, they unlocked their "StripSearch" initiative. Basically, Strip Search is a reality show for webcomic artists.
It would be disingenuous to hide the fact that I entered the competition especially because I didn't make the cut. Not even past the first round and into the top 100. A myriad of questions immediately ran through my head when I received the following automated message:
Thank you for applying to be on Strip Search! We had over 500
people submit to be on the show, all of which had an incredible
amount of promise and/or talent. Unfortunately, we don't feel this
season of Strip Search is right for you – there are only a dozen
spots to fill, so we've had to make some difficult decisions in our
selection process.Given the sheer volume of applicants, we sadly are unable to
answer specific questions about why you were not selected. We
just don't have the bandwidth to cover those types of requests.Good luck on your future endeavors – we'll have your application
on file in case we feel your talents will be a better match for a
future season. Thanks!
Was I not good enough? Was my work too trite or contrived? Did they just not like ME?! I felt I had prepared a very compelling presentation and for sure, for sure, if they saw it: I'd be a shoo-in. Absolutely and without a doubt.
But there in lies the rub: they never saw my portfolio. Never even looked at it.
How do I know? Well… I know. I provided a very unique URL and even coded some triggers to alert me that the site was hit. It was never hit before I received the email.
I understand the process is long and arduous. It can't be fun to have to sift through over 500 entries and cull through their questions as well as their stupid drawings. But I believed that's what was to be. I believed that because I had gotten to know the people behind the comic through their PATV web series, that I felt the competition they were running was to be a meritocracy. That if I presented my work and myself in a manner that would ring to them, then they'd have no chance at denying me. I can guarantee that I worked harder on my proposal than any of the other entrants and to have my portfolio not even so much as even glanced upon hurts.
But that's the reality of reality TV.
Maybe I didn't answer the questions quite right but I was under the impression that we would be primarily on our works. I felt my answers were just and heart-felt. I double and triple-checked my spelling and grammar. I made sure to stay under the word limit. But it was all for naught.
Does that mean I'm going to boycott? Despite the sting, absolutely not. I love the PATV site and love pretty much anything they churn out over at Penny-Arcade. They're an inspiration and a beacon. That's why I wanted so badly to be on the show. Not for the prize money- I would have done it for no prize and even paid my way to Seattle. I wanted to be in that atmosphere and excel at the challenges they'd have put me through and sure, the exposure would be nice, but just to have had the opportunity to contribute to their show would have been momentous for me.
I would have fucked it all up. No chance!
Perhaps that's why I wasn't selected: they wanted a competition and not a slaughter.

Domaine de la Source Blanc is an esoteric dry white wine with subtle hints of Provençal pine. Made from pure Rolle, the wine displays aromas of pear and wild flowers when young and quince and toasted almonds when it reaches maturity. The dry but fruity palate has balanced acidity and good fruit characteristics, preceding an alluring dry finish.
A bouquet of wild flowers and white orchard fruit precedes a palate of nervy intensity underscored by a fine acidity and complex mineral notes with an incredibly long finish. This is approachable now if decanted and should have at least 15 years aging potential.
This world-famous wine that should be on any oenophile's 'bucket list' has much more in common with top white Burgundy than it does with its next door neighbour Condrieu. The bouquet is quite restrained, so it is a white wine that is well worth decanting to reveal aromas of apples and a faint waft of struck flint. The palate is restrained, complex and minerally with a long haunting finish.
This classic white Crozes Hermitage exhibits a fine bouquet of wild flowers and orchard fruit backed by a finely textured palate of apricots and white peaches with subtle mineral undertones and a clean, elegant finish.
Citric aromas and yeasty undertones precede a palate of sweet orchard fruit. The wine displays a lively mousse and a clean, off-dry finish.
Domaine des Liards Montlouis-sur-Loire Sec - clean, green apple and grapefruit aromas precede a zesty, citric palate. This excellent example of Chenin Blanc has a bright, refreshing acidity and crisp, dry finish.
This classic Savennières has a complex bouquet of wild flowers, sherry flora and chalk dust and a generous palate of ripe orchard fruit with subtle undertones of honey and minerals prior to a long, dry elegant finish.
This wonderfully honeyed, sweet Savennières has an alluring bouquet of stewed pears, beeswax and fleurs blanches and a ripe, rounded, terrifically textured palate of grilled nuts and orchard fruit with an underlying acidity and subtle mineral nuances.
Savennières: Coulée de Serrant - a wonderfully complex, dry white wine commonly regarded as the nec plus ultra of the appellation. Warming vanilla aromas and flavours of nuts and honey slowly unfurl on the palate and develop with ageing. A sophisticated, contemplative wine that merits wider recognition.

These brownies would be really good but my personal opinion about this recipe is that the teaspoon of salt should be cut to 1/2 teaspoon and the butter to use is unsalted butter then next time some one try this recipe a teaspoon of salt would be perfect

From a retail standpoint it doesn't matter, there's current technology now at an affordable price that could be implemented in consoles and show a large graphical difference.
A new PC with the highest graphic quality available is nowhere near the cost of a new car. That comparison is out there.
Japanese companies are some of the most competitive backstabbing businesses in the world. You've completely lost me.
Besides, there is nothing to gain from working together. The tech in the Wii U is completely different from the tech in the other consoles, and they're too expensive to be combined. There's no great secret technology these companies have access to, just different directions.
If they all collaborated with the same product, we'd be stuck with the same direction. That's a horrible idea, especially for some of us that aren't on board with the cheap casualized gaming scheme. They already take aspects from one another and implement them in their own product, that's as much as we need to see from that.
Competition drives innovation. Theres a reason monopolies are are frowned upon. They're not good for anyone.
PCs don't cost as much as new cars and there is a large graphical leap there.
There's tons of room for improvements. And people have the misconception that the only improvements to be made are looks. Physics, AI, the amount of content that can be handled on screen all at once are all concepts that have plenty of room for expansion.
We're far far away from having a Mass Effect style MMO with Crysis style graphics in which tens of thousands of people can be engaged in a large scale war over a certain galaxy. There's so much more to come.
So the Wii U has a solid year of enjoying multiplats, and it can't even run those properly. Oh well, at least now Nintendo-only gamers can still play all these games they pretended not to care about when they were inaccessible on their platforms.
This is one of those games people rate highly because it's a launch game, and then when actual games start coming out, we all realize how much better this could have been.

*intentionally left out downloadable games, which would only help the 360..
** these are highly specific parameters. expand upon these and the gap increases.
Same exact parameters. If you don't see a difference there, there's nothing I can do for you. Or anyone for that matter. lol
Have a terrific day
You really want me to look up the numbers for all of those games? lol
And okay I'll make this simpler. It's a person who is paid to objectively look at a game's faults and assess them in accordance to the entire game.
You're just a consumer, which has been known to enjoy just about anything. Why should I say the Wii is doing just fine because there are plenty of third party exclusives you enjoy?
This makes no sense. It's like me saying "well I enjoy twice that many on the 360, so that wins!" and then asking you to accept that.
Tangent? There is nothing more closely related to the original point. lol
The Wii is lacking good third party exclusives. You try to disprove this by listing poorly rated games, YOU like. I use a source other than my own opinion which shows how few games there are.
It's basically your very own opinion vs. every aggregate review site. I'm not sure why we should go off of your opinion here.
Oh I apologize, there are FIVE. Five very highly (>90) rated third party Wii games. Two of which are Rock Band.
Next article of discussion: "I play games under 90"
Awesome. Pick any value. Count the number of third party titles over that number. Do the same for other consoles. Compare.
There is no personal opinion in here, and no 'sulking' as I do not care how much anything sucks, personally. This is an objective comparison that hurts the fragile egos here on this site.
Four highly rated third party exclusives? That's not far off I'm afraid. I'm not sure what I'm 'backpedaling' from. lol
It's pretty clear you are unable to distinguish your personal opinion from any sort of objective discussion. Which is fine, I admire your individuality. All of those reviewers lay out all of a game's faults for you, and do you care? Heck no, you completely ignore them and enjoy those games anyway!
I could never have such strength.
I'm not basing my opinion off of anything. lol
There is an objective and subjective view. I enjoy what I like, but that doesn't matter to everyone else.
When it comes to looking at a library objectively, subjective opinions do not matter.
It's okay that you think the Wii's library is the best thing ever, but when compared on a level playing field with its competition, it doesn't compare.
Your opinion is fantastic though and I'm glad you have one, just like the other six billion or so people.
Yeah, I meant quality games. Those rated highly by the majority.
If I were seeking a minority opinion I wouldn't come here. lol. There is at least one person in the world that believes EVERY Wii game is a great game. I dont rely on that opinion to judge a console.
The only objective way is to take a set score, and count over that score on an aggregate review site. Anything else is completely subjective. Most of those games you listed are recognized as being poor by the large majority of critics. Can't believe you listed The Conduit. lol
Much less than the other consoles when it comes to third parties. That was the point.
I don't need to provide the numbers, they are available for everyone to see.
Haha you got me. I suppose Africa counts as a continent as well. : )
I can't slip anything past you guys.. lol
I'm inclined to support that LK, the repetition of your avatar throughout these comments will make them much easier to read. So have at it.
It's not like I have to do any work either way, metacritic does that for me.
Logic? I'm too busy feeling sorry for other countries.
Thats nice though that you think these prizes are made out of top of the line material inaccessible to the public. I don't want to ruin that for you.
I'd prefer that as well. If you offer the incentive up front, THEN there's no excuse for disappointment.
They should do away with this and expand on the rewards.That way you know what is coming with your purchase when you spend the money.
Now I have to feel sorry for Europe too? That's an entire continent! lol
I'm not sure I have enough in me to feel sorry for all of the lesser fortunate parts of the world.
So in exchange for quite a bit of valuable market research you received something that cost them far, far less value to make..
I like that angle too, I can work with that. Still, it's an incentive program. People don't buy purely for the incentive, but it's expected with the purchase. So when the incentive isn't what was expected, people have a right to be disappointed.
Like I said earlier, I can't think of another incentive program that notifies you of your prize after your purchase. When you do these surveys and purchase these games you're hoping that there will be something worth the money and effort.
I don't think playing cards and posters, which someone could make at Kinkos, qualify as that.
We didn't spend our money just to get these prizes
And people don't purchase soda bottles solely for the code under the bottle cap.
Some of you seem to have trouble differentiating an incentive from something that is actually free.
What more could you ask for?
More than like four third party games on a console? At least a number in the same ballpark as the other consoles?
Well, I buy their products to enjoy the products themselves.
Then you can be happy as always. That doesn't mean everyone has to be, and they shouldn't be ridiculed because of it.
If people redeemed all of their bottle cap codes in anticipation of something cool and were let down by a pack of Sprite playing cards, they can be disappointed as well.
Whine moan grumble. Say what you will, you don't HAVE to get ANYTHING extra from Nintendo!
It's not extra. It's an incentive program for buying their games.
They don't do this because they just like you. It provides people with an incentive to purchase their products. Just like those stupid promotions on bottle caps.
You have to buy your way into this category. It's perfectly acceptable to be disappointed by the choices of the promotion. The only difference between this and other promotions, is that you don't know what the prize is until AFTER you spent your money.
Yet we should all be grateful because grandfather Nintendo is looking out for us..
Oh don't worry I know
My car breaks down? It's okay, there are 10 year old kids in Africa that don't even have cars!
My airline loses my luggage? It's okay, there are kids in Africa that don't even have suitcases!
My bananas go bad the day after I buy them? It's okay, people in Africa don't even have bananas!
Didn't fact-check the last one but you can just assume it to be true.
lmao. I love that Africa quote.
Yes, I should be totally grateful for absolutely EVERYTHING because someone is worse off than I am.
What amazing logic to live by.
You received a poster for spending hundreds of dollars.
You can justify that however you'd like. I'm still not sorry to be missing out on 99 cent posters.
Well there's nothing I love more than purchasing games I've already played nearly a decade ago.
Especially on a system that has no games.
What? I thought his job was to praise the next Nintendo console and consider it a viable threat. Since when do companies try to make the competition seem silly?
Not sure what I shake my head at more, some people commenting or the site for publishing this article.
Where is that favorite user thread? I have an addition.
I don't even have to say anything here! Great job Rift.
Bought this for the 360 of course, but it's Lego and Pirates so it must be good on the Wii, nonetheless. (sort of less though..)
Anyway, a seemingly good review and score for the Wii version.
Oh that's awesome.
I'm glad they've improved a ten year old game. I know they were short on time and all but it's nice they care enough to put forth such effort.
Hardly; all they wanted to do was make something better than they ever have before, and deliver an experience to wii gamers that other studios were not.
lol nice try.
They HYPED their game as that, and the second coming, while putting out a half (another word for butt, rhymes with glass..)ed product.
It's fine if you're easily fooled for someone working hard, but some of us aren't.
They totally got what they deserved. If they truly cared about making a great game, they would have done much better than the mediocre at very, very best products they put out.
They're an awful dev with an awful understanding of ethics in their profession. They deserve absolutely no respect.
This makes me so happy.
It's nice to see High Voltage exposed as the inherent scum of gaming I've always claimed them to be.
Go back to making licensed shovelware, guys, so at least people won't mistake your "work" for real games.
Tired of spending countless hours searching for sites as good as Nintendo Life?
I have to admit.. I lol'd.
Sports games can not have drastic change, anyways. I have this discussion every year about Madden. The biggest transition it can undergo is visually or because of the controller. There's nothing more that can be done with the Wii's limited hardware, and it already takes advantage of motion control.
Besides that, it can only have new courses, characters, challenges, online features, etc. And no additions like those will significantly change the game.
And if games had to have considerable change in order to score the same, or higher, games such as Pokemon Black or any Final Fantasy would score like 2s, despite holding up well against brand new games.
P.S. Stop expecting Madden to be drastically different. It simulates the same sport every year, people.
Please make more. I like seeing people annoyed for petty reasons.
Why would it annoy me that you like playing the same games over and over and over?
I couldn't care less. I have other gaming devices that I use much more frequently than anything Nintendo because they're regularly supported by NEW games.
And I don't even have time for those! Heck, if you Nintendo guys ever get a new game that is actually decent, I'll have even less time!
Nothing better than a remake of a remake of a free game. And the 3DS continues to live up to it's great fame of remakes.
There are a lot of us that are really enjoying the game.
There's a lot of people out there that enjoy any game. That's not saying much.
Meanwhile, I'd like to thank you Jon for not being lenient with this one. Seems like people judge these games off of perceived effort, rather than the actual product.
When the actual product sucks, the effort doesn't really matter.
Steel Diver is developed by not only Nintendo, but head honcho Miyamoto was in charge of the project
Really? Then that's kind of embarrassing.
I guess just further proof Miyamoto has lost his touch with modern gaming.
A couple side points:
1. Wind Waker is the greatest Zelda to whoever said they wouldn't mind that remake. If it's any consolation I would hate that one the least.
2. Surprisingly I don't actually care, on a personal level, what Nintendo does with their time, as I hardly ever play Nintendo games.
Zelda (Except WW), Metroid, Pikmin, Star Fox? I'm not a huge fan. The only franchise I REALLY like is Paper Mario. (And there's something about Wind Waker..)
It's the principle I have a problem with. If every publisher did this, half the games being made would be remakes.
At least Sony bundles a couple/few games, puts them in HD, adds a bunch of new content, and sells them on a single Blu Ray disc. Nintendo? Take one game, add average to flat out awful motion control, and release again.
If Nintendo's lazy philosophy of "rinse, release, repeat" carries over to the consoles/ handhelds I actually like, then you guys can be like "lolol Alex take that" lol
Edit: On a side note, a few of these games being mentioned as ones Nintendo fans have overlooked, have been overlooked for good reason.
Steel Diver? Most agreed it was mediocre at best and was just "published" by Nintendo.
Pikmin, I'll give you that one. Chibi? No. >.>
because of games like starfox that will really benefit and feel new. can't wait for that one.
It's like this..
A. Play a game with new technology.
B. Play a game with new technology except you know everything that happens.
Why people wouldn't prefer sequels, at the very least (God forbid Nintendo tries a new IP..) is so beyond me it's not even funny. I'm pretty sure I have a better hold on the string theory.
So far I can name as many remakes in store for the 3DS as I can new games from Nintendo. That's pathetic. If that's your thing, awesome. I'm just glad the rest of the world doesn't share your perspective, or I'd be riding a horse to work.
new games are lame.
That is terrific. There are also people out there that love classic cars. Should manufacturers not evolve and produce new vehicles?
That's fine if you don't think gaming should evolve, but that doesn't mean you should encourage the industry to stagnate so you can play the same games over and over and over.
Wind Waker....NOW!
Yes, that is precisely what we need. How about they just forget about that new Zelda and re release all the old ones again, 'cept in 3D! Woo!
They are making new games. Its just takes longer to produce awesome games than it used to because people have come to expect so much more
Do you know why they take so long?
Because never in their history has Nintendo dedicated so many resources towards remakes as they are today.
That is why. No "oh but technology means longer dev time" crap. They have more technology and workers and resources than ever. They could be producing new games at a more efficient rate than in their entire history.
You should take that as an advice
Even if your analogy did make sense, very few people would know what you're talking about. You should take that as advice.

The Away Team - Set It Off
Artist: The Away Team
Featuring: Talib Kweli , Rapsody
Producer: Khrysis
Album: Scars & Stripes
Label: Jamla/IWWMG/Duck Down Music
In theory The Away Team, or as they're known individually Sean Boog the emcee and Khrysis the producer, are already Unforgettable, but just in case you missed the duo's previous features, or contracted a sudden case of amnesia, I think we've got something for you that will cement their music in your synapses. More specifically, the Team, Talib Kweli and Rapsody are ready to Set It Off like Queen Latifah. Behind the boards Khrysis puts together a skittering beat that shakes lightly and bounces along on a sharp but mellow guitar line. From there Kweli sets off the lyrical explorations (pun intended) with the kind of syllable packed flow we've come to expect, followed closely by a tight 16 from the seemingly unshakable Rapsody and a closing effort from Boog that more than holds its own next to his compatriots rhymes. In other words, there's no way you're forgetting The Away Team after this. For more be sure to cop the duo's upcoming album Scars & Stripes, due out on October 11 through Jamla/IWWMG/Duck Down Music.

What a lineup on this track. Everybody killed it. Rapsody is so consistent, I've yet to hear a track she doesn't kill. The Away Team cranks out quality tunes on their own, and when you add two exceptional emcees, it only gets better.

Suu Kyi's Song of Silence
Suu Kyi's Song of Silence
Suu Kyi's Song of Silence
Thursday, August 16, 2012It was only two months ago, on June 16 that Myanmar opposition leader and pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, received the Noble Prize she was awarded 21 years ago in 1991.
The 66-year-old human rights campaigner and head of the National League for Democracy (NLD) received a standing ovation at the award ceremony in the packed city hall in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
In her award acceptance speech, she said that the award had focused global attention on the battle for human rights and democracy in Mynamar and ensured "we were not going to be forgotten."
Why then is she silent and keeping quiet on the current genocide on the Rohingya by the junta in Myanmar? Why not a word from her on this massive scale atrocities committed against humanity on the Rohingyas?

This morning — only a day or so before the official start of autumn — we had our first cold morning in many months.
The last few weeks we've moved gradually from hot, sweaty, shorts and t-shirt mornings to cooler, pleasant, long pants and long-sleeved shirts mornings. This morning, with the temperature hovering around a bracing 40 degrees, I had to break out my favorite hooded sweatshirt for the first time — and I needed it, too.
The night skies were clear and the stars blazed, and it was as if the warmth had been sucked from the world. Water vapor billowed from the surfaces of the darkened ponds and creeks into the brisk air as we walked past, and we were just on the edge of frost on the ground and visible breath. I felt the familiar sensation of numbing cold creep into the tip of my nose, my exposed ears, and my fingers.
As we neared the end of the walk, I looked forward with anticipation to a piping hot cup of black coffee. We get accustomed to the heat, and then we get accustomed to the cold. A steaming cup of coffee helps.

The Newtown Sessions is a new bi-weekly in-studio series, brought to Noisey by our friends over at Newtown Radio, the Brooklyn-based online radio station.
Surprises are what really make fringe music festivals. Seriously, hear us out: at CMJ, SXSW, Primavera, Coachella, Sasquatch (well, major fringe music festivals anyway) you get to float by on a range of substances on minimal sleep. If you're lucky, you'll see a new artist take you completely by surprise. It's one of the best reasons we all get fucked up and go to music festivals in the first place, at least that's the idea.
Last year at SXSW in Austin TX, we were blown the fuck away by Tashaki Miyaki, a band from LA who we'd only heard of vaguely of, at a showcase presented by Death + Taxes and Solid Gold at Cheer Up Charlie's. Tashaki went on right between Young Prisms and Dirty Beaches, and it was thrilling and beautiful to watch the band animate the crowd with a subtle and powerful fusion of 60s surf pop and psychedelic noise.
When CMJ rolled around, we invited the LA noise-rockers to record a session with us in Brooklyn, and we were pleasantly surprised once again by their mind-melting sound.
Watch Tashaki Miyaki perform "Get It Right" and "Keep Me In Mind" here.
Listen to the full session recording right here.

Sony takes the wraps off PlayStation 4 hardware
Sony has finally taken the wraps off the look and design of its next-generation PlayStation.
At its E3 press conference Monday night, the consolemaker provided a quick reveal of the PS4 box, which looks a tad bit larger than the current PS3 design.
Sony gave people a teaser of the console's design near the end of May, on the eve of Microsoft's Xbox One reveal, and had previously shown off pieces of hardware like the controller and new Eye accessory at the original PS4 reveal back in February.

okay.. so we wait for scoutz to get back. still.. that's odd.
And how soon do you think this problem will take?
I tried to upload for Moe moe darling. yesterday when I tried there were only the first 2 chapters, today are and chapter 4,5,6. That means there are members that can still upload.
Most of the time you can find me here, on the ▫Mangareader page
That is because Mods/admins can still upload manga from an ftp connection.
you can upload 10mb of manga per upload for the time being. not great, I know, but for now thats all we have.
As I said before, mods and admins will keep on doing updates and uploading manga since we can.

the response in the forum seems to make it look like the insentive is working, though i'm not noticing the change that much over at the mangareader... it still looks like it's the same small group of mods/admins doing the uploading... is it just me failing to notice someone other then hockey uploading?
C'mon Hockey-tan, don't be so mean. :P It was just a question (maybe 2 :P)
draringi, there are still some of us that are uploading (like be but not so often) . We are trying but you know.. There are a lot of mangas here so why worry? We are doing our best here (gues.. )
And Hockey-tan, I asked about moneybookers because paypal is a new thing in my country (not so new but aren't so many bank acounts ready for using it) and moneybookers is really used here. And the reason I asked is because I was thing of making some stuff and transfer my acount and to paypal so see if it's worth. I'll just give a try. I'll put it in after a few days then.

I think you are wrong dra. If you look at the list of uploaders, you can see that we have tons of new ones (and even unregistered users are pinching in):
And so what if we are sp few? here are some numbers taken off MySQL:
Some stats from last year (tracking since nov. 1st):
847,548 visits
33,063,447 Pageviews
0046 Avg. Time on Site
54.62%% New Visits
39.01 Pages/Visit
And more than 40 000 chapters!
And Ive talked to scoutz and he expects those stats to multiply by 10 this year. We will have WAY more viewers, and I can guarantee you, that by the end of next year, we will be more popular than mangafox and onemanga :).
I mean, we started in AUGUST and we almost have as many chapters as mangafox who have been there for 2 YEARS! We just need time to grow, and let our popularity grow as well.
We need to stick together in this time of growth. Soon, itll be much easier.

excuse me..
may i ask about uploading..?
i'm new here..
and i've started uploading since yesterday (in my country time),
but i found something strange..
i was uploading one chapter of manga that worth about 24 MB..
and when it's finished, the uploader become unregistered..
and not my ID..
you know i have a limited bandwith at home, so it felt a bit peevish..
sorry and thanks..
