Team Name:
Project name:
Unnamed MMO
Brief description:
We are recruiting new team members to create two (2) complete zones for a fantasy based MMO. The game client, client patcher, world server, chat server, patcher server have already been in development for 3 years. We are looking for help moving forward with creating content and tools to help with the creation of content and levels.
Business Model:
Free-to-Play eventually, but for the purposes of this posting and recruitment, the project will be distributed as freeware.
There is no compensation for this contract.
We are utilizing the following open source technologies: Irrlicht, IrrKlang, Raknet, LUA, MySQL, Bullet and Blender for B3D modeling.
Positions needed:
We are looking to expand the team to support and develop a full blown MMO, and are utilizing this 2 zone contract to evaluate people to bring on for a paid position with the full Free-to-Play version. We are primarily interested in content developers, but are recruiting for all positions:
C++ developers (game client, server, content creation tools)
Web developers
3D Modelers/Artists (Blender strongly preferred)
MySQL DBA (and must be able to manage the C++ socket development/connection class)
And any other position you have strong skills for, like audio engineers, sprite artists, ect.
You can apply for a position on the team by emailing a resume with experience to jobs at curiosichi guesswhat com. You can respond to the forums here but this post will be placed on different forums in an effort to recruit many talented people, so email is your best bet.
Additional Info:
The game will be a Fantasy Based Anime style MMO that targets casuals and hard core gamers alike. What will stand out for this game is a unique mixture of traditional targeted based combat system for Base classes, with a transcendent class that focuses exclusively on third person shooter type based skills with no auto attacks. We believe this combination of difficulty and simplicity will create a unique atmosphere for our gamers, and offer a gentle learning curve for those that are overwhelmed or under skilled to play in a FPS exclusive game. Think action adventure Legend of Zelda, God of War, or Dynasty Warriors. Base class has "Z-Targeting" (to borrow a N64 term) and transcendent class skills do not, although attacks and skills are stronger if you use transcendant skills.
The game will strive to keep players questing and away from grinding with a strong central storyline, and a plethora of undocumented side quests that players discover by involving themselves in the game world and its people. The Japanese inspired world envelopes two ideologies that give a general conflict between two beliefs: Those that believe in living passively through the energies of nature, magic and its creatures, and those that believes in technology, its advancement, and taking a more active role in life and conflict. While these beliefs do not divide our game world races or classes, it provides a common conflicting point that characters in the world endure and provide the player with obstacles to overcome as they fight for their personal belief.
The game has been in development for 3 years as a C++ game engine testing ground for several technologies. These have been integrated and utilized to make our project very versatile and easy to work with. The work on this project has been only by programmers, so 90% of the time spent on Alanacial project as a whole has been programming code. There is a multi threaded patcher for your client, a client login to the game server and chat server, and testing bed level that allows multiple people to move on the server world using interpolated movement algorithms, and have all user input server validated from movement to using abilities. Right now the world is loaded dynamically using .irr files and models using B3D animations. We have created a lot of the ground work for a MMO but are left primarily with modeling content assets; something that we did not at the time have a strong skill set to create.
We have a Game Design Document that will be available for review specifically for the scope of this contract. Based on a postmortem of each contract, we will chose to move forward with certain contractors on the future development of this project. Prospects for this contract position will be expected to provide a minimum of ten hours per week for a duration of six months.
About me (and MY qualifications):
My name is Philip and I have a Bachelor of Science in Game and Simulation Programming. Curiosity (2007) was a turn based RPG (named in the same mind set as Final Fantasy with game play similar to Final Fantasy Tactics) developed for and demonstrated at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco 2007 (http://www.gdconf.com/). I was the project manager and lead programmer of the team of 9 other college student developers pursuing a degree in Game and Simulation Programming.
My first 3d project was my Senior Project for college. It was a 3d Tetris clone, called PerspectaCubed, and again was a 3d engine created from scratch and DirectX. I was a programmer on this team of 4 and completed it in 6 months.
video of the presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XumAbvOmNqE
I've held a software engineering job for a vendor (http://www.gpj.com/) used by Oracle, Cisco, and Charles Schwab, and was a database administer for their onsite events. I've created ecommerce websites (and accompanying SQL database) for two companies (http://www.digitalstormonline.com/) and (http://vinotheque.com/). Now I work for Comcast as a Network Engineer on a nice shift: 4 days a week for 10 hours.
This offers me a chance to spend my 3 day weekend to again focus on managing and releasing the game to end users. I have a bucket of different skills that allow me to wear different hats and I'm really excited to work with some new programmers and, for the first time, some real artists. I hope to build a team to do a lot more then just one or two levels, and by keeping us on a realistic timeline and providing project goals, we'll all see it come to fruition and make a little side income. Primarily though, we are looking to have fun and make a game we would enjoy ourselves, and add to your work portfolio a home brewed MMO. I look forward to meeting you new team members over Skype!
Temporarily (obviously) most of the game's models/textures are being tested shamelessly using the demo objects included from some open source projects that many IrrLicht users have offered on their forums. I am not an artist or modeler (as you can see from my player model..) and used what I could to test client functions.

Showing 5 of 5 reviews.
By Jack B., Wallingford, CT in July, 2011
Flexible, Secure, Unobtrusive and Practical -
Just returned from Europe where I wore my black body pack every day in substantial crowds. It is as advertised - I did not overfill it but had very adequate and secure spaces for money, credit cards, id and camera (and then some). It became a part of me and was extremely useful.
By Steven K., Salt Lake City, UT in July, 2011
Great PacSafe pack! -
The VentureSafe 150 Cross Body Pack is another great security bag. It has all the security features I've come to expect from PacSafe - tamper-proof zippers, lockable, covered buckle, wired shoulder strap and wire mesh reinforced. Good selection of secure pockets for ready access to your travel documents.
By Rob F., Tiburon, CA in July, 2011
Excellent Product -
Excellent product, well built, sturdy and comfortable.
By Simon P., Edmonton, AB in April, 2011
Outstanding Security -
Ordered the Venture Safe 150 Cross Body Pack for a teenage son who travelled to Europe with his high school group. Discovered that not only did he use the back everyday (the pack did not have the stigma of a "man purse") but that it also thwated a pickpocket attempt when he was in Rome. I'll be ordering a second Venture Safe pack for myself for a trip I'm planning to Europe this summer.
By Anonymous, OR in March, 2011
not adaptable for everyone -
I like this bag but made some modifications. I had to cut the padded strap off for me to use it, Unfortunately, I wear the purse opposite from most people.

Bux-Mont Volunteers Needed to Clean Up From Sandy
A group is organizing volunteers in Bucks and Montgomery counties to help people tackle damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy.
Paul and Colleen Dziewisz have seen the damage left behind by Hurricane Sandy and think there is strength in numbers.
So they are organizing the Bux-Mont Hurricane Sandy Clean-up Team.
UPDATE: The meet-up location for both Saturday and Sunday will be at 7 a.m. at the Central Bucks West High School parking lot located at Rt. 202 and Lafayette Street in Doylestown.
Here's the message Paul put out on the group's newly formed Facebook page:
This Saturday and Sunday I am organizing a Hurricane Sandy cleanup effort for Bucks and Eastern Montco. Colleen and I feel the need to roll up our sleeves and help some people.
We are trying to put together a large group of volunteers to go out in teams of four to do safe and meaningful cleanup for Bux/Mont residents who need help. We expect to help with tree and branch removal, yard damage, water cleanup, etc. Here's where you come in…
This is how you can help the effort:
1) Volunteer your time and join us. We will be going out on Saturday and Sunday. If you can come either day or both that would be great. If you can't do a full day then do a half day. If you're better at organizing than at hauling branches that is great too.
2) Volunteer your tools. We will need…
a. Wheel barrows
b. Trash bags
c. Shovels
d. Gloves
e. Chainsaws
f. Ropes
g. Hammers, nails, etc.
h. Ladders
3) Let us know of anyone that is in need of help. There are a lot of Bux/Mont folks still struggling. We need to match up people in need with our effort. I'll be reaching out through social media and to local municipalities over the next couple days to get names as well.
4) Spread the word for us on social media, through email and word of mouth. A lot of people want to help but don't know what they can do. We'll get them working to help. I setup a Facebook group called "Bux-Mont Hurricane Sandy Cleanup Team". Please join it to spread the word.
If you want to join us then please email me asap or call 267.626.7478. If you have equipment to lend please let me know and I will contact you to arrange pickup or drop-off. If you know someone who needs help (especially elderly folks in the area) put them in contact with me.
Paul Dziewisz
11:22 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I can be reached at 267-626-7478 or by email at email@example.com if you want to volunteer or know someone who needs assistance.

Middle of the Map Weddings is all about sharing inspiration. While vintage and hand made inspired editorial shots are some of my favorites, it's nice to see something a little off the beaten path. I was delighted when trüstudio submitted this concept shoot to be featured on the blog.
"As time progresses and our surroundings simplify, weddings become streamlined and sleek. Brides opt for minimal fashion, metal accessories, and neutral palettes. Our bride is not the norm. She wants to stand out in a sea of sameness."
"Her dress is fashioned from intricately woven paper. The scrim-like nature of the material allows certain portions of her dress to be opaque, while others are semi-transparent. It's structural quality is molded into the perfect textural shape she desires. She disregards shoes altogether to accentuate the beauty and form created by her gown."
"Her look is completed with her makeup. Instead of following the trend to go absolutely neutral, this bride defies the norm by introducing a bold pop of yellow above her eyes. She has always loved the cage veil her mother wore for her wedding but modernized the concept to fit her personal style. Rather than a piece of fabric, her veil is meticulously painted onto her face. All that's left to do is gather her hair up into an elegant minimal bun on top of her head. Her look is complete; she feels truly unique."
Photography: Steve + Anne Truppe of trüstudio ~ Styling: Anne Truppe ~ Dress: packing paper from Crate and Barrell ~ Ring: Street artist in Rome, Italy ~ Model: Sarah E
A big thank you once again to trüstudio for submitting this amazing concept shoot! Find more images from this shoot and real weddings on their website and blog.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
What would you do if a stranger asked to turn in your ballot for you? It's happening in some Colorado Springs neighborhoods. 11 News asked about the process after one viewer told us she was worried about it.
Just a few days ago, two people asked Mary Zapata if they could take her mail-in ballot and drop it off for her and her husband. Zapata has lived in the neighborhood on the west side of Colorado Springs for nearly 15 years. She said this is the first time, in any election, that a person has come to her door asking for her ballot.
"[The two men] said they worked downtown and they would be more than happy [to drop them off]. They were volunteering their time to take our mail-in ballots and stuff. With everything going on, no," Zapata said. "No I don't advise it, I wouldn't do it, no way."
Zapata and her husband missed the deadline to mail their ballots in, but not to drop them off. She didn't know who these two were representing, but didn't trust them.
"That's personal, it's too personal. No, I wouldn't trust somebody I don't know to take my ballot in," Zapata said.
We checked with the Pueblo and El Paso County clerk and recorder offices, asking if they are the ones going door-to-door in neighborhoods to collect ballots. They told us their employees are not allowed to.
However, it is legal for other people to get your ballot and drop if off for you, but the question is, would you trust a stranger with your vote?
We called the Obama and Romney campaigns. Obama's spokesperson told us they do have volunteers going door-to-door across the state helping people turn their ballot in. A spokesperson for the Romney campaign told us they would have to get back with us.
Curbside ballot drop offs open up tomorrow. Here are locations for Colorado Springs:
Citizens Service Center
1675 W. Garden of the Gods
Centennial Hall
200 S. Cascade
Southeast Powers
Corner Powers Blvd and Airport Road
North Union Tower Center

Comments about Quill Brand� Blank Merchandise Tag; 1-1/2x15/16:
We use these for automobile key tags to record the customer's name & vehicle type, so we were not happy to discover that one side of the tag is a gloss finish that is hard to write on with a pen or pencil.
Size not accurate
By Fiddlestix

About Me Quality Oriented
These merchandise tags are actually 1-1/2" x 15/16" instead of the advertised 1-1/2"x1". That would be fine if I were writing on them with a pen, but I'm using Avery 1-1/2"x1" labels, and they hang off the end of the tag. Quill is taking these back, and has said they'll change the catalog and web listings. You can't ask for more than that (except I wish they did carry a 1-1/2"x1" tag). I'd recommend these to a friend who was going to write on them and not use labels.

Ever wondered what it would be like to become ordained as a priest, rabbi or imam?
If you have an iPhone, you could be just a few screen swipes away from finding out.
That's because Tony Jones, theologian-in-residence at Solomon's Porch in Minneapolis, Minn., has developed an application, or "app," that allows iPhone users to experience mock ordinations in more than two dozen faiths. Solomon's Porch is a Christian ministry that began as a local church and today calls itself a "holistic, Christian, missionary, community."
The app, called Ordain Thyself, doesn't confer any legitimate religious credentials to its users, but it does allow iPhone owners to see what they would look like wearing the religious garb of different clerics, and read a brief and humorous overview of various world religions.
Jones, himself an ordained minister, decided to create the app partly to combat what he sees as an inability of faith leaders to laugh about themselves and their religions.
"Religion is serious business to be sure," Jones told CNN's Belief Blog. "But it could use a little stand up comedy to lighten us up."
Jones, who is also the author of "The Church Is Flat: The Relational Ecclesiology of the Emerging Church Movement," says on the whole reaction to the app has been positive, but the technology is not without its critics.
One woman, a Lutheran minister, accused Jones of belittling the ordination process, which often requires years of hard work and religious study.
Jones, who attended a seminary for three years leading up to his own ordination, dismisses such criticisms.
He points out that while ordination can be an onerous process in many faiths, others allow practitioners to become ordained online with minimal effort and a small fee.

Q: Del Amo bicycle ban
I was surprised to see about 20 signs posted prohibiting pedestrians and bicycles on the recently opened Del Amo bridge through Torrance. Are there future plans to permit cyclists? There appears to be plenty of room for a bike lane in addition to two traffic lanes in either direction.
- Michael Bane, Torrance
There are no plans to allow bicyclists or pedestrians to use the route, which opened last month.
The new 0.7-mile Del Amo Boulevard extension between Maple and Western avenues winds between an oil refinery and a chemical plant.
Given the potential for fires, releases of noxious gases, etc., city officials do not want bicyclists or pedestrians in the area in the event of an emergency.
Additionally, city officials say, motor vehicles are not supposed to stop on the road either.

life as a sketchbook
Hello lovely souls! Hope you had a most memorable weekend! Wishing all you mamas happiness + goodness by the bushel! So, here's a question for you!? Do you ever see your life as a sketchbook? ..a journal of experiences that you collect and treasure…and somehow manage to store..in your brain, in your soul…or in whatever way it feels right to you? Photos of course help me with much of it. Whenever I look back through my digital files I find they instantly take me to that moment the photo happened.Well…I like this sort of thinking..gathering as you go…making "sketches" ( as in photos) of all things around you….I find it to be terribly inspiring for any new project I am working on as well..and most weeks I am juggling a hearty handful of things much like everyone else!! This last week was a most inspiring one with lots of thoughts on new designs flying through my brain…Many of my thoughts you see as photos early on that inspire something else later.
Color , color….as you add layers to your world..your sketchbook of life….consider the way color will play a role …the language it can add to you life is remarkable to me..and often something you never forget..much like a scent that lingers in your mind. This vignette on our mirror is in our powder room..the rich colors dance so beautiful with the light throughout the day..then when night falls the light on the colors becomes even more extreme..it makes me wild…makes me want to add even more colors to our walls. I have been stuffing bits of life on my mirrors since I was a teenager…then you really look at these things…give it a try!
This week our garden is exploding in color and splendid irresistible beauty. I find myself in the garden before I begin my workday ( kind of a wonderful way to start my day) ..I also go to the garden at the end of my work day….it's all there…all the luscious layers for the taking….do you see them? It's a layer in my sketch book that is very personal..and so healthy in mnay ways!
The flowers are blooming wildly now..and I find myself gathering them daily…I love setting them around the house….anywhere..everywhere..they add magic , they add another layer of happiness in their untamed fanciful ways…I love adding in the random long branch that makes the whole lot feel a bit wonky…it's so good when the eye finds something a bit off…..ahhh..divine nesting!!
Even the rhubarb inspired me this week ( and yes, I made 3 rhubarb desserts…) I may need to do more..I love, love rhubarb..the taste, the colors, the texture…..
A dusting of confectioners sugar on any dessert ……….. like angel powder for the fairies….and so pretty in a photo..no?
I also did some digging this week..found this sketch I had done quite sometime ago…I have had elephants on my brain..then I found this in one of my baskets….see the elephant, see the peacock..see the goat…..another layer to life's lively sketchbook…..somethings never change…they just evolve as new luscious layers!
Seashells….they seem to always find a way into my world…..so I had to document this….the top of a mirror….it inspired another piece of art that I'm still working on. Then more digging…in the garden..thinning out the radishes….that I cannot toss…..so lovely with their bits of dirt and ever reaching roots….
We went to the beach for mothers day. It was so beautiful! It was 99 degrees when we left our house for the beach..and 85 when we got there…bikini weather…whoa!! We stayed until the sun was nearly set … we were the only ones left save a few evening beach combers.
I only wanted one thing for mothers day…a photo with my four delicious boys….My sweet friend Nina took this one…you can see how golden the light was….the sun was going down ansd we were just packing up.
I found these the other day…a random mix of goodies….my hoarder tendencies ( while I poke fun at them) serve me well when I go back through baskets of goodness…I find layers of life…bits and pieces of my own sketchbook.
So what about you? what about your life sketchbook…how do you keep it…..? I'm so very curious….
Hoping your spring is adding an irresistible bit of joy to your days….the smells, ahh the smells…do you keep your windows open at night to breathe in all that goodness…?
Cheers + goodness to you !!
~ live your poetic wanderlust !….with love, from our studio + ranch~ in the California countryside …Tracy Porter~

This Saturday (4/21), Klughaus Gallery, LRG and Duggal presents Tom Gould & Anna Delany "Two of A Kind." The show features photographs shot exclusively on 35mm black and white film and is themed around the "luck" of street photography. "Taking pictures on the street is like going to a casino, you never know who you're going to meet, what's going to happen, or what you are going to come home with. The fact that you can head out with a handful of empty rolls of film and return with images and memories that could last a lifetime, makes the gamble all worthwhile." – Tom Gould
Klughaus Gallery will be hosting (non-profit) Blackjack tournaments to win prize packs and prints ($20 buy-ins for original prints.) In addition, Limited Edition Tom Gould & Anna Delany custom playing card decks will be released at the opening and available for sale.
If you haven't already checked out the video promo for the show (filmed & directed by Tom & Anna), this is not to be missed:

Tuition for New College classes (per credit hour) | $755 | $793 | $793 |

** For details on this option, see Payment Plans.
Awarding Process
Once you file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, your financial advisor will determine our offer of financial assistance for you and send you a package of financing tools.
And when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, we review your file for low-interest federal student loans.
Make sure to list the St. Edward's federal school code, 003621, in the school release section.
About the FAFSA
Go online to the U.S. Department of Education to complete your FAFSA. The FAFSA asks questions about a student's income and assets to determine an Expected Family Contribution, or EFC.
Each college compares your EFC with the total costs of attendance to determine the amount of your financial aid package.
Five Steps for Filing your FAFSA
Step 1: Get a four-digit PIN number issued by the Department of Education.
Step 2: Complete the 2013–2014 "FAFSA on the Web" Worksheet to gather the financial information you'll need to complete the formal FAFSA.
Step 3: File your 2013–2014 FAFSA, listing the St. Edward's federal school code, 003621, in the school release section.
Step 4: Check the status of your FAFSA online or use the Federal Student Aid Information Center automated hotline (800-433-3243).
Step 5: Review your Financial Aid Package from St. Edward's to secure your financial aid.
When you file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, you will automatically be considered for these financial aid options.
Grants do not require repayment.
Federal Pell Grant
Available to students (U.S. citizens and legal residents) who show financial need according to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Annual awards vary widely ($555 to $5,550 for full-time study). Award amount is determined by the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated from the FAFSA. Pell Grant funds are sent directly to the school and applied to the student's bill.
General tuition assistance awards are available to new students and are made primarily on the basis of your financial need and the promise of your success in the New College program. Additionally, assistance is awarded based on your good-faith efforts to obtain other financial assistance.

When you file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, you will automatically be considered for these financial aid options.
Loans do require repayment.
Federal Direct Student Loans
All eligible students can borrow through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, designed specifically for college students. This low-interest loan program allows you to defer payments while you are enrolled in a degree/certificate program for at least six credit hours, with repayment beginning six months after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment status. Students must remain in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.0, and successfully complete 75% of their courses each academic year.
Note: If you accept one of these loans, you must complete a Federal Direct Loan Promissory Note and complete a debt management session in addition to filing a FAFSA.
Private Education Loans
St. Edward's also maintains information on a number of alternative loan programs. Repayment of most of these loans can be deferred while you are enrolled at least part time. Plus, you don't need to complete a need-analysis form, like the FAFSA. You just need to pass a standard credit check or have a co-signer on your loan.
View a list of eligibility requirements and sources of alternative loans (PDF) »
Payment Plans
Flexible Payment Programs
In addition to grants and loans, you can take advantage of alternative payment options.
Monthly Arrangement Payment Plan (MAPP)
Through this university-sponsored program, students may pay all or part of the semester's balance through equal, monthly payments over the course of the semester. The university does not charge interest for the deferred portion of the payment plan, although it does charge a nominal participation fee each semester.
Third-Party Billing
At a student's request, St. Edward's will bill employers or other entities that pay for all or part of a student's tuition cost.
Employer Deferred Payment Plan
If your employer reimburses you for college courses, then enroll in the Employer Deferred Payment Plan — EDPay. In this program, you pay a percentage of your tuition cost plus a small fee per class at the beginning of the semester. Your balance is due one month after the end of the semester.
Complete the EDPay enrollment packet (PDF) »
Assistance Programs for Veterans
If you are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, you may be eligible to use your Chapter 30: Montgomery GI Bill or Chapter 31: Vocational Rehabilitation benefits at St. Edward's. (Hazlewood benefits cannot be used because of our private university status.) We can help determine your eligibility and answer any questions you might have.

Is there an RPS Mount and Blade/Napoleonic Clan/Group? I'm interested...
There was a grouping from the unofficial Steam group yesterday, but nothing particularly disciplined yet. Most of the groups I've had some contact with have rather shouty computer-chair generals but that ensures there are some spectacular cavalry charges and artillery lines due to the discipline they demand.
Taleworlds (Warband developer) has little to nothing to do with Napoleonic Wars. NW is pretty much fan-made, only now someone figured out that he can squeeze some quids out of it. So if your question was in context of releasing NW - then no.
Then again, M&B2 won't be coming out anytime soon because of War of the Roses - basically a game operating on same paradigm only now it's more like Call of Duty in medieval* - and same developer won't be releasing two similar games in relatively adjacent time period of any description.
( * not like Warband wasn't, anyone playing the horror of the Native ranged spam in multiplayer knows what I'm talking about, Warband is only actually playable in Vikingr and cRPG mods)
Besides, Warband engine is really old. I played about 3000 hours of multiplayer, most of the time with DX7 because of animation lag on DX9 in my case and I'm getting seriously sick of the graphics. There was an interview with Armagan about the success of Mount&Blade and he mentioned something about current Taleworlds occupation - it was in turkish unfortunately - but there was some footage from something what allegedly was M&B2 - and it was using the same engine.
There's a line between sub-par graphics + awesome gameplay, like Warband, and pre-historic graphics + awesome gameplay. Few games come on top if they choose to roll with the latter one, ie. Dwarf Fortress. I wouldn't want to see Mount&Blade taking chances at this, even though the fighting system is so good that no other contemporary game at all comes even close.

Kind of makes a piss take that they made "With Fire and Sword" which I really bought to support the devs more than because I really wanted it. Quickly came to the conclusion that being shot at with muskets and then randomly dying wasn't much fun, and not much fun firing off endless shots with inaccurate muskets hoping for a hit.
Really hoped they'd build on their success with M&B and turn M&B2 into a proper tripple A title with a real graphics engine and some new features. If M&B2 turns into just another M&B addon colour me unimpressed, guess its way way too early to be making such statements though.
I'm surprised no one has linked this yet...
Never played anything to do with it, just bought it, it's hillarious.
Can't hit a damn thing though. Although I'm not starting out with what is either desirable or achievable - task one is mastering twatting somebody in the face with a lance at full speed.
I had some fun with the music, but the game animations and general polish was lacking. I want a M&B 2 or something.

Sooo anybody know a napoleonic weapon that starts with S?
My computer cannot run it online, gives 10fps, which make sit unplayable :( I'll stick to vanilla.
Quivering in the shadows of Criken's excellent video, this is RPS fellas getting together and figuring out which end to stand at a cannon.
Any wiki or something for tutorialing? Participating in a cannon team or an infantry line sounds like a blast

I'm in.
I also recommend the CHkilroy vids, some great infantry formation fun.
I'll boot up a social club around this tomorrow, so we can get some sessions going. I'm thinking the GrenOhDears, or the Whosars.
I'm Respecting your culture!
Just played 3 matches of siege. Stuck with simple soldier for all of it. Lots of fun, bit mobtastic with no communication but had some nice moments of semi organised combat like the sappers setting up some nice gate defences and we took turns firing and taking cover.
Yes; there seems to be all sorts of small-scale spontaneous organization going on, which is pretty nice. Played some (lots of!) siege yesterday, and people were agreeing on a set time (from the round timer) when to charge over a bridge... It really worked! Though we were all massacred, of course. But it worked in principle.

That is right, deroad is back with another release for all of your Jailbroken PS3 consoles. Today, he introduces the world to Led Changer v1, and app that can be used to change the color of your system's LEDs (the power light). Be sure to take a closer look at this release, and then go out and experiment with your own PS3s.
this will change the led color and if it is on mode on/off/blink and it will keep it on that mode also on the XMB

South Orange - Maplewood BOE Passes District Goals
Issues include the 2% budget cap, reregistration, the Montrose School and more.
The South Orange - Maplewood Board of Education passed the 2013-14 District Goals on Monday night by a 7-1 vote, after adding amended language regarding a 2% cap on the operating budget. Board member Madhu Pai was the lone dissenting vote; member Wayne Eastman was absent and was unable to vote. Before the vote, the board voted to amend a milestone for the 2013-14 school year regarding budgeting. The old language read: "Approve 2013-14 operating budget with a year-over-year tax impact not greater than 2% for the operating budget. In the case of extenuating circumstances, such as the loss of state aid, banked cap may be used." The new language, which will replace the bolded sentence, is: "Should, after exhausting all feasible options to …

Former officer sues NIU, police department
Fired officer says cops conspired against him in rape case
DeKALB – Former Northern Illinois University police officer Andrew Rifkin filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the university and a group of officers he claims conspired against him in a sexual assault case.

Bill Nicklas, NIU's director of public safety, said the department would review the lawsuit and determine whether action is necessary.

Darrell Hykes, 41, of College Park, was approved by the Georgia Secretary of State's Office as a legal write-in candidate, according to Hykes for the American Dream campaign.
Hykes recognizes his name isn't a prominent one even within Georgia, much less the entire country. Yet, Hykes said in a telephone interview with The Cedartown Standard that he could feasibly win as a write-in candidate.
"It's going to be really, really, close," he said, adding that the winner is the one reaching 270 Electoral College delegates and that system makes it possible for him to win.
Hykes, who began his campaign officially Sept. 4, said he is currently on the ballot as a write-in candidate in 16 states. He said he will be on the ballot in 28 states by election day.
Many of those are important Electoral College states, Hykes said.
Hykes said he had been thinking about politics, specifically the presidential race, since 2004. It was a statement from President Barack Obama that convinced him to run this time.
"The president came out and said he was in favor of same-sex marriage. I am against same-sex marriage. I couldn't go to the polls and vote someone who didn't reflect my belief," he said.
Hykes identifies himself as a Christian and said he wants to bring those values back into the political arena. He said neither of the two party candidates, either Obama or Republican challenger Mitt Romney, seemed to identify with him from a clearly defined, Christian point of view, and Hykes thought others might feel the same way.
So, he began running for president to give those voters another choice.
"People of religious background, who hold Biblical views, can say 'I know what he stands for,'" Hykes said.
He said Christian values have a long-standing tradition in this country and that seems to be getting lost in all the politics.
"This country was founded on Biblical principles. They came here so they could have religious freedom," he said. "A lot of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were Christian."
Polls show that 68 percent of the American population identify themselves as Christian, Hykes said.
However, Hykes said he has seen a shift from Christian values to the point where people feel uneasy praying in public or talking about their faith in a public forum.
Hykes said, as an African-American, he feels Obama has caused some dissention in the black community because of his stand on gay marriage.
Most African-Americans are affiliated with a church and believe in traditional marriage, he said.
Now those African-American voters who would vote in a block for Obama are left with no one who truly represents them, Hykes said.
However, Hykes said voting strictly based on race is not achieving the dream set forth in the civil rights movement.
"One of the things that happened in 2008 is that the majority of those in the black community that voted for President Barack Obama voted for him because of the color of his skin," he said.
"Just because he's African-American doesn't mean he represents me."
Hykes has never run for or held political office before, but said life and professional experiences have given him the wisdom to make good decisions for the country.
"That plays a large part in proposing policies, initiating vetos," he said.
The presidential candidate points out that he does meet the qualifications.
"The U.S. Constitution qualifies me as a candidate for the Office of the President for the United States," Hykes said.
"Whether or not people feel I'm qualified, that's up to the voter."
Hykes has one identifying characteristic different from both Obama and Romney. Hykes said he is a veteran with six years in the U.S. Air Force.
Originally from Okoloma, Miss., a small town near Tupelo, Hykes said his first job was as a janitor in a local store.
He served as a medical services specialist in the military and then worked for a senior center in Arizona after leaving the Air Force. Hykes said he was moved into transportation at that facility and now is an associate director and safety compliance officer at a school in Atlanta.
Hykes and his wife, Temeka, have three teenage children.
Regarding issues, Hykes said he has plans. He said the very first thing he would do if elected is meet with all 50 governors.
He said the meetings would be to empower them to run their states. Hykes said he would visit every state to listen to those on the local level and try to reduce federal interference.
"You have to try to balance the federal budget. You have to reduce spending, lower taxes and bring down the federal deficit," he said.
Hykes said he wants to reduce taxes, penalties and costly regulations on small businesses to encourage growth.
He also wants to educate people on how to get a job, saying the jobs are there and many have the skills, but many don't dress appropriately or know how to act in interviews.
Hykes also wants to transform education, which includes bringing the Bible back in schools.
He said what he means by that is that students are expected to respect traditional codes for behavior and respect for others.
Hykes said he wants parents to be more accountable, but knows that can't be legislated.
However, he said that teachers' salaries do need to be increased in order to keep the best teachers in public classrooms.

This publication helps readers get a broad understanding of the major differences between IFRS and US GAAP today — as well as an appreciation for the level of change on the horizon. While not every difference between IFRS and US GAAP is covered here, the differences we generally consider to be the most significant and/or most common are spotlighted.
Changes for our 2012 edition include:
To request a hard copy of this publication, please contact your PwC engagement team or contact us.
In July 2012, the Staff of the SEC's Office of the Chief Accountant published its final report on its IFRS Work Plan. The report states that adopting IFRS as authoritative guidance in the United States is not supported by the vast majority of participants in the US capital markets, and would not be consistent with the methods of incorporation followed by other major capital markets (e.g., the endorsement process used for the European Union). On the other hand, the Staff found substantial support for exploring other methods of incorporating IFRS (that demonstrate the US commitment to the objective of a single set of high-quality, globally accepted accounting standards).
Despite the unclear adoption timeline from the SEC, we believe the impact of accounting changes resulting from the FASB's and IASB's efforts will be significant and will have broad based implications. IFRS has already influenced US GAAP and we believe this influence will continue.
Four main challenges that merit companies' attention include:
Bob Moritz, US Chairman and Senior Partner, discusses the strengthening of US fundamentals.

'Tennessee Waltz' singer Patti Page dies

By CHRIS TALBOTT
AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Patti Page, the "Singing Rage" who stumbled across "Tennessee Waltz" and made it one of the best-selling recordings ever, has died. She was 85.
Page died on New Year's Day in Encinitas, Calif., according to publicist Schatzi Hageman.
Page was the top-selling female singer of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold. Her most enduring songs remain "Tennessee Waltz," one of two songs the state of Tennessee has officially adopted, and "(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window."
"I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing," she said in a 1999 interview. "And things snowballed."
She created a distinctive sound for the music industry in 1947 by overdubbing her own voice when she didn't have enough money to hire backup singers for the single, "Confess." She went on to score sell 15 gold records and three gold albums with 24 songs in the top 10, including four that reached No. 1.
She was popular in pop music and country and became the first singer to have television programs on all three major networks, including "The Patti Page Show" on ABC.
In 1999, after 51 years of performing, Page won her first Grammy for traditional pop vocal performance for "Live at Carnegie Hall — The 50th Anniversary Concert." Page was planning to attend a special ceremony on Feb. 9 in Los Angeles where she was to receive a lifetime acheivement award from The Recording Academy.
Page was born Nov. 8, 1927, as Clara Ann Fowler in Claremore, Okla. The family of three boys and eight girls moved a few years later to nearby Tulsa.
She got her stage name working at radio station KTUL, which had a 15-minute program sponsored by Page Milk Co. The regular Patti Page singer left and was replaced by Page, who took the name with her on the road to stardom.
Page was discovered by Jack Rael, a band leader who was making a stop in Tulsa in 1946 when he heard Page sing on the radio. Rael called KTUL asking where the broadcast originated. When told Page was a local singer, he quickly arranged an interview and abandoned his career to be Page's manager.
A year later she signed a contract with Mercury Records and began appearing in major nightclubs in the Chicago area.
Her first major hit was "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming," but she got noticed a few years earlier in 1947 with "Confess."
"Tennessee Waltz," her biggest selling record, was a fluke. Because Christmas was approaching, Mercury Records wanted Page to record "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus" in 1950.
Page and Rael got hold of "Tennessee Waltz," convinced that a pop artist could make a smash hit out of it. Mercury agreed to put it on the B-side of the Christmas song.
"Mercury wanted to concentrate on a Christmas song and they didn't want anything with much merit on the flip side," Page said. "They didn't want any disc jockeys to turn the Christmas record over. The title of that great Christmas song was "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus," and no one ever heard of it."
"Tennessee Waltz" became the first pop tune that crossed over into a big country hit.
The waltz was on the charts for 30 weeks, 12 of them in the top 10, and eventually sold more than 10 million copies, behind only "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby at the time.
She went on to record such hits as "Doggie in the Window," "Mockin' Bird Hill," "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," and "Allegheny Moon." She teamed with George Jones on "You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine."
In films Page co-starred with Burt Lancaster in his Oscar-winning appearance of "Elmer Gantry," and she appeared in "Dondi" with David Janssen and in "Boy's Night Out" with James Garner and Kim Novack.
She also starred on stage in the musical comedy "Annie Get Your Gun."
She received the Pioneer Award by the Academy of Country Music in 1980 and also was elected to CMA's board of directors. She also is a member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.
In her later career, Page and husband Jerry Filiciotto spent half the year living in Southern California and half in an 1830s farmhouse in New Hampshire. He died in 2009.
Page is survived by her son, Daniel O'Curran, daughter Kathleen Ginn and sister Peggy Layton.

Okay so a lot of people like to see people's "set ups" of people's computers, desks, laptops etc. So I decided why not just put this up on my website. So ENJOY it!
okay so in the photo above you see my entire set up of my macs, printer, desk, and storage. This is what it all looks like so yeah. In the photos below are more detailed close up photos of certain sections.
Alright so this is a photo of where I put my laptop. My laptop is elevated on my printer from this shelf that came with my desk so I took the shelf off and turns out it is conveniently shaped in a way that I like. I charge my laptop on here but usually just take it on my bed.
Okay so here is where i put wires, iPhone cases, random junk, and some iPad cases. Nothing special I just store things here. LOL
So here is where I put my mac on this wooden file storage thing which I don't use. I recently just got this mac on amazon! It works as a home computer mostly. I use my Macbook pro for more major things because it is more advanced as you can see.
so you see that I put my digital storage on top of my mac tower. I use a 500GB Toshiba portable hard drive and a 4GB SD card. I also have a 1GB but I don't use it that much.
Here is my monitor, keyboard, mouse and desk. I do have a monitor stand which I love because you have a lot more space. I have a Dell Monitor. It sucks. It is LCD and silver. I mean it's okay but I would rather have an apple monitor.
So here is my apple keyboard & mouse. I do have this nice memory form mouse pad that I got for christmas which is just awesome. I got the apple mouse and keyboard just a few weeks ago actually.
FINISHED! Okay so I hoped you liked my set up! Comment if you want!

Hi. Been using Sabayon for 2 weeks now. The only thing that did'nt work out of the box was the wireless adapter. I'm using a Sweex LW053 that uses the RT73 driver. The problem is that when i went to check with lsmod wich modules were loaded, i noticed:
Whenever i tried to use ifconfig wlan0 up, the system would freeze or i couldn't scan for networks.
I had to rmmod all of those and compile the RT73 drivers from [url]rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/[/url] and then modprobe rt73.
Everything was working perfect.
Maybe if your wireless adapter doesn't work and uses the rt2500 or rt73 drivers, try to rmmod all of them and compile the drivers from serialmonkey.
Now i just need help blacklisting all of those drivers that come in the kernel. I tried once but I didn't succeed. Can anyone lead me the way to blacklist those modules so that i dont have to rmmod every time I boot?
Hope i could help someone and that someone helps me

Obama takes oath, says 'America's possibilities are limitless' (With Video)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring "our journey is not complete," President Barack Obama took the oath of office for his second term before a crowd of hundreds of thousands Monday, urging the nation to set an unwavering course toward prosperity and freedom for all its citizens and protect the social safety net that has sheltered the poor, elderly and needy.
• Interactive look at the inauguration.
"Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it," Obama said in his relatively brief, 18-minute address. "We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class," he added, echoing his calls from the presidential campaign that catapulted him to re-election.
The president declared that a decade of war is ending, as is the economic recession that consumed much of his first term.
The inaugural fanfare spread across the capital Monday, with a joyful parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and two glitzy inaugural balls in the evening. The president also lunched with lawmakers in the Capitol following his address.
Before diving into the afternoon celebrations, Obama previewed an ambitious second-term agenda, devoting several sentences in his address to the threat of global climate change and saying that failure to confront it "would betray our children and future generations." Obama's focus on climate change was notable given that he barely dealt with the issue in his first term.
In an era of looming budget cuts, he said the nation has a commitment to costly programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. "These things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us," he said.
Sandwiched between the bruising presidential campaign and relentless fiscal fights, Monday's inaugural celebrations marked a brief respite from the partisan gridlock that has consumed the past two years. Perhaps seeking a fresh start, Obama invited several lawmakers to the White House for coffee before his speech, including the Republican leaders with whom he has frequently been at odds. Continued...
Among then was the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. In a statement following Obama's swearing-in, McConnell said the president's second term represents "a fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day."
Looking ahead to those challenges, Obama implored Congress to find common ground over the next four years. And seeking to build on the public support that catapulted him to the White House twice, the president said the public has "the obligation to shape the debates of our time."
"Not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals," Obama said.
Moments earlier, Obama placed his hand on two Bibles — one used by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the other by Abraham Lincoln — and recited the brief oath of office. Michelle Obama held the Bibles, one on top of the other, as daughters Malia and Sasha looked on.
Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term as the nation's second in command. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, several Cabinet secretaries and dozens of lawmakers were on hand to bear witness to history.
Monday's oaths were purely ceremonial. The Constitution stipulates that presidents begin their new terms at noon on Jan. 20, and in keeping with that requirement, Obama was sworn in Sunday in a small ceremony at the White House. Because inaugural celebrations are historically not held on Sundays, organizers pushed the public events to Monday, the same day the nation marked the late civil rights leader King's birthday.
Obama soaked in the history on a day full of traditions as old as the Republic. Gazing over the crowd before retreating into the Capitol, he said, "I want to take a look, one more time. I'm not going to see this again."
After a stunning sunrise, the weather for the swearing-in and parade was chilly — upper 30s rising into the lower 40s — and overcast.
Once the celebrations subside, Obama will be confronted with an array of pressing priorities: an economy still struggling to fully a recover, the fiscal fights with a divided Congress, and new threats of terrorism in North Africa. The president has also pledged to tackle immigration reform and stricter gun laws in the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., — sweeping domestic reforms that will require help from reluctant lawmakers.
Obama is also facing fresh concerns about terrorism in North Africa. In the midst of the inaugural celebrations, a U.S. official said two more Americans died in Algeria, bringing the U.S. death toll from a four-day siege at a natural gas plant to three. Seven Americans survived, the official said. Continued...
The president did not offer any specific prescriptions for addressing the challenges ahead, though he is expected to offer more detail in his Feb. 12 State of the Union address.
Asserting "America's possibilities are limitless," he declared at the Capitol: "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together."
"We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit," he said. "But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
Obama's second inaugural lacked the electric enthusiasm of his first, when 1.8 million people crammed onto the National Mall to witness the swearing-in of the nation's first black president. Far fewer people attended this year's inauguration — officials estimated up to 700,000 people — but the crowd still stretched from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. And shortly before the president spoke, U.S. Park Police announced that the public viewing areas on the Mall were full.
Security was tight across Washington, with streets closed off for blocks around the White House and Capitol Hill. Military Humvees and city buses were being used to block intersections. Volunteers fanned out near the Mall to help direct the crowds.
David Richardson of Atlanta and his two young children were among the early-goers who headed to the Mall before sunrise.
"We wanted to see history, I think, and also for the children to witness that anything is possible through hard work," Richardson said.
Wendy Davis of Rome, Ga., was one of thousands of inaugural attendees who packed Metro trains. Davis came four years ago as well but was among the many ticketholders who couldn't get in then because of the massive crowds.
"I thought I was early last time, but I obviously wasn't early enough," she said.
By 8 a.m. thousands of people were also waiting in security lines that stretched a block to gain access to the spots along the parade route that were accessible to the general public without a special ticket. Continued...
The cold weather was easily tolerated by Marie-France Lemaine of Montreal, who received the trip to the inaugural as a birthday present from her husband. She headed up an Obama advocacy group in Quebec that cheered on the president from north of the border.
"The American president affects the rest of the world," she said.
