Chef Sunny Jin of JORY Restaurant at Allison Inn in Newberg, Oregon delights with his twist on a burger using fresh local beef, produce and wine.
At HotelChatter we love a guy with experience and we give bonus points if he knows his way around a kitchen. It seems Benchmark Hospitality values these traits too and their choice of new Executive Chef Peter Birk to revamp Seattle's Hotel 1000′s BOKA restaurant is working out just fine. We were headed to BOKA [...]
Paris can be the city of dreams and light. But unless you are a trustafarian, prince or dignitary you must find a way to enjoy Paris without breaking the bank. One seldom thinks of Paris as a " budget travel" city. But there are values to be had. Value travel is not defined as budget travel; it is realizing great reward for the money spent. Planning your trip from the UK is easy.
A homage to decadence, it is fun to turn away and escape into a dream of indulgent excess via this cupcake
It's an ordinary day, with kids playing volleyball on a beachfront lawn that spills out toward the ocean with a view to the Mokuluas, here in Hawaii—except the kids next-door are guarded by sniper nests . . .
Having lived in Hawaii for more than ten years, I developed a taste for local style foods. But now living in Oregon, I have had to figure out how to make these delicious dishes at home. And one of my favorites is a spicy saimin, or noodle soup with all of the fixings. It even [...]

This fruit-based, superfood snack bar is designed to be satisfying on-the-go without the extra fat and calories. fruition is the marriage of dates, gluten-free raw oats, chia seeds and cashews in 6 mouth-watering real fruit flavors. With superb fruit flavors, robust texture and blend of organic ingredients, fruition is Simply Real.
When your toddler finally starts to break out of their "I will not eat that" phase, it can be hard to find something they will eat, that's healthy, and okay to have on a daily basis. You've all heard my woes of how Sonshine is a picky eater and it always surprises and delights me, when he latches onto something nutritious and healthy for him, over say, cookies or salty crackers.
PROBAR has launched a new line of snack bars called Fruition. Each 1.7oz bar is packed with one full serving of fruit and only 160 calories, making it the perfect snack for my husband and a great breakfast for my little one. With four grams of fiber and two grams of fat, these certified organic bars are filling, gluten-free, and dairy-free. One of the key ingredients in each Fruition bar is Chia seeds, which are the highest known food source to contain Omega-3 acids, promote electrolyte balance, and is a complete source of protein!
Fruition bars also
- Made with all organic and natural ingredients
- Fruits used are full of antioxidants & Vitamin E
- Citric & ascorbic acids which act as natural preservatives
- Organic Brown Rice Syrup is used for sweetener
- No trans fats, artificial preservatives, colors

yea it seemed like he was definitely able to make it far out just fine...love the song and edit
i spy gnewdle
Bff all ze whaayyy
thanks for putting these together benwa...blake is such a positive person, it's sick to see him get exposure like this

sure the drop works, but it looks like pooop, i do fff but i dont do a 2step fff it just looks wack to me. What is up with you guys can i not have my own opinion and not get hated on??!?

idk about other people but when i judge pro heats i dont look at the drop; i look at the tricks, completion and style. you guys shouldnt be so damn technical!!

the drop causes some of his waves to be sketchy and when i am judging i look for clean completed rides

he does kill it, drop doesnt matter in this case
Molly Q
i think what Shawn Kenny is trying to say here is... Imagine the possibilities if his drop was better.
imagine if shawn kenny could skim.
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Purple Snakes[/COLOR]
i still have to disagree with everyone. his drop is not holding back his skimming. look at the power that he has when he hits the waves. bucketsssssss! also note this video was shot in only one day.
Slotstik Skimboards-Team Rider
Freak Traction-Team Rider
Locals Surfshop-Team Rider
im really sick of the drop arguments. blake skims good and from what i've seen he never falls on his drop. Plenty of times i have seen one step BFF and FFF mess up because they got on wrong. Now i don't care if your momentum is going forward when you drop BFF and going downward if you drop FFF but i experiment with both and notice 2 things.
1 - BFF i have more control and time to set up.
2 - FFF i can reach waves farther (because i can drop in deeper water easier) and it allows you to plane out faster (IMO)
On the east coast (of florida) i will definitely agree with FFF drop because of what i stated above and because most spots don't offer much slope (potential for speed). On the other hand, if you live in california, mexico, chile, etc... you have steep beach breaks where BFF is easier, offers more control, and a ton of more time to set up.
None the less, this video is sick and benwa's editing is getting better and better with every mini movie! Keep up the good work :]
Loveful, i-rey heights
thanks guys..

when ever i judge i look for head dips and white water cover ups

Calibre Computational Lithography
Low k1 photolithography processes are driving up the complexity and data volume of RET applications in nanometer designs. At 45nm and beyond, more complex models and through-process-window correction and verification requirements significantly increase computational burden. Both the lithographic challenges and the computational complexity associated with the advanced process nodes create a need for advanced capabilities in computational lithography software and hardware.
Core Innovations
The Calibre® computational lithography solution answers these challenges with core innovations that ensure image fidelity across multiple process conditions, providing more robustness and reliability in the manufacturing process.
The Calibre solution offers best-in-class accuracy, speed, and cost of ownership. Streamlined hierarchical processing enables Calibre to take advantage of design hierarchy to improve turnaround time, computational efficiency, and throughput compared to flat processing tools. Hardware co-processor acceleration support, based on the powerful multicore Cell/B.E. numerical processor, reduces turnaround time even further, while reducing the total cost of computing.
Calibre nmOPC
High-performance Resolution Enhancement Technology for advanced IC manufacturing processes.
Calibre OPCverify™
Virtual manufacturing solution supports RET recipe optimization.
Calibre OPCpro™
Full-chip correction increases yield and process latitude.
Calibre WORKbench™
Solution for accurate tool setup - Calibre WORKbench
Calibre OPCsbar™
Full support for adding, simulating and verifying scattering bars.
Related Products
- Calibre TDopc™
Calibre TDopc provides Table-Driven OPC functionality via two Calibre commands:- OPCBIAS makes it easy to do fast rule-based OPC for line widths based on a simple table of values.
- OPCLINEEND makes it easy to apply line end treatments, such as hammerheads, based on a simple table of values.
- Calibre PRINTimage™
Calibre PRINTimage produces a full-chip, batch output of simulated silicon shapes, and enables simplified DRC checks on these shapes, so-called "silicon DRC." Simulation is based on optical and process model developed from measured manufacturing process characteristics. The simulator handles PSM effects, including attenuated PSM side lobe detection and strong PSM phase imbalances. Calibre PRINTimage outputs the simulated silicon shapes in a new GDSII output layer.
- Calibre LITHOview™
Calibre LITHOview is a subset of Calibre WORKbench for users who need to confirm layout or OPC model results but do not generate new models. It offers all the capabilities as WORKbench, except model creation and test pattern generation.
- Calibre ORC™
Calibre ORC (Optical and Process Rule Checking) provides full-chip batch checking for IC manufacturing "printability" problems, called EPEs (Edge Placement Errors). Calibre ORC uses a calibrated optical and process model developed from manufacturing process characteristics. Calibre ORC predicts the silicon location 1D and 2D structures of interest in the design (e.g. line ends, corners, or user-defined structures). If the EPE for that type of structure is greater than a user-set tolerance, Calibre ORC creates a viewable "error box" over the edge in a new GDSII output layer, as well as summary reports including statistics. Calibre ORC integrates with popular layout editors via the Calibre RVE™ (results viewing environment), enabling easy viewing and debugging.
- Calibre PSMgate™
Calibre PSMgate provides full-chip, batch phase assignment to increase yield and chip speed for subwavelength lithography using existing manufacturing equipment. Calibre PSMgate makes changes to the layout to enable significantly smaller gate features than the wavelength of the light used in manufacturing. Calibre PSMgate uses Calibre OPCpro "phase-aware" model-based OPC algorithms to correct phase distortions typically found near phase transitions and line ends. Some of the Calibre PSMgate key features include:- Many types of PSM techniques can be both assigned and verified, such as one-/two-exposure and two-/three-/four-phase methods.
- Although primarily used for one-half to one-third wavelength sized gates today, the assignment algorithm can be applied to other selected layers/structures as well.
- Can be used for full layer PSM, including critical interconnects around gates.
- Works with Calibre layout processing engine to provide layer derivations, Boolean operations, and phase-conflict checking essential to a strong or attenuated complete PSM flow.
- Supports shape-based checking, long-range "color ability" and side-lobe detection and correction.

This book explores how collective memory of Huguenot history vitally affected political and religious controversies and the formation of identity, both among ethnic Huguenots and in their host communities, in Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and North America.
Edited by D.J.B. Trim and Mark Charles Fissel
This anthology explains how Europeans used amphibious warfare to exert military and economic power in the Mediterranean, North and Baltic Seas, and the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, and the adjacent coasts; and how war, commerce and the growth of the European State system sustained one another.

Many home health care aides are exempt from federal minimum wage and overtime laws, due to a little-known provision in the Fair Labor Standards Act passed in 1974, which puts them in the same category as casual babysitters. The Obama administration has been trying to change that over the past two years, but its efforts have been met fiercely with lobbying from the industry.
While some states have since passed greater protections for home aides, a survey by the National Domestic Workers Alliance shows roughly a quarter of these workers still make less than the federal minimum wage.
Mary Headlam, 63, is a Jamaican immigrant who takes care of 98-year-old Seymour. She lives in his home in Tenafly, N.J. and earns about $750 for working seven days a week. It's not much, but she finds her work now far more fulfilling than her previous job working in a department store.
"The job is rewarding. It gives you the opportunity to work with people who cannot take care of themselves," she said. When asked her about her wages, she said she's comfortable and thankful for the place to live.
Like Headlam, the majority of home health care aides are minorities and women, and many are foreign born.
A recent study by the Institute for Women's Policy Research estimates immigrants make up 28% of home health care workers, and of those, one in five are undocumented.
The Census Bureau has found that 53% of home health aides are minorities. By their calculations, it is the single most common job for black women, who alone represent nearly a third of the entire profession.
This is part of the reason workers are undervalued and underpaid, say worker advocates like Eileen Boris, a professor of feminist studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
"Caring for people is not the same as flipping hamburgers, and the fact that as an economy we value them the same, I think is a testimony to the devaluing of work associated with women, intimacy and the historical association of caring for people with slavery," she said. Boris is the co-author of the book Caring for America: Home Health Workers in the Shadow of the Welfare State.
Many of these workers are also not as educated -- often with no more than a high school diploma. So it would make sense that these workers have far less bargaining power against the large associations and companies lobbying against a change.

Workington farmhouse on market for £1m
Last updated at 19:58, Thursday, 12 July 2012
A Workington farmhouse that was once home to a coal mine is for sale for £1 million.
The current owner of the 218-acre Parkhouse Farm, near High Harrington, bought it to extract coal, with 100 acres used as an open cast mine.
The site was restored to a working farm in 1999 and it was let out, as the owner did not live in the area.
The stone-built farmhouse has five bedrooms and 42,000sq ft of buildings.
Planning permission has been granted to create a farm shop and cafe, fishing lake, animal viewing area and orchard.
It is on the market with H&H Land and Property.

Life's a Pitch: Rosslyn's UberOffices Growing in Reputation, Membership
Office-sharing venture caters to tech startups, looks to expand by year's end.
A little after 10 a.m. Wednesday at UberOffices in Rosslyn — it's Pitch Day at the office-sharing startup, which even at less than 4 months old is already developing the reputation for being one of the coolest new spaces in the Washington metro region. Every startup hub does it a little differently. Uber co-founder Raymond Rahbar says startups traditionally get four to seven minutes to make their pitch. But at UberOffices, they get 30 minutes. Typically, two to five businesses — some are members, some aren't — get face time with a small room full of investors. They get instant feedback and, if they're lucky, they eventually get the capital they need to move their company into its next phase. Sometimes, they may get a lead on another source…

LOL..... na a guy by the name of Brady, not sure if you heard of him.... not a bad 6th round pick up though
I have not been to a Lions game since the 2000 season. I have also not bought a stitch of Lions gear since. I think if you keep throwing money away supporting this crap organization buying tickets and buying the marked up beer and food at the stadium you are not helping make things change. You are part of the problem. So when people that go to these games complain I tune them out because they are not helping force change. That are just as much a part of the problem as WCF if not worse.
I wouldn't even give a doggy bag of leftovers to the Lions, much less actual cash. They need an intervention.
Time to market the new game called, "Pin the Tail on the Ford" Nothing else is going to change. At least sell a Pinata that looks like Ford. A nice big one for adults.
That was the best article I've read in quite some time. It speaks the truth and better yet, it was written by a national columnest. That's our only hope, getting this topic out and discussed nationally. Goodell, get off your bum and do something about WCF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe Dan Wetzel is from Michigan and still lives here. He is a suffering Lions fan like many of us.
League intervention is not the answer. The fans have to punish failure and reward success. Letting some league office bureaucrats decide the fate of the Lions isn't a good idea. The ticketholders are the ones who should guide the direction of the franchise. Another season or two of blackouts should set the wheels in motion. Do fans have the courage, patience and discipline to do it? I hope so.
A friend of mine used to buy a block of 50 tickets for one game each year. The last game we went to was the first regular season game at Ford Field in 2002. It was nice to see the new facility...but the team remained the same and we stopped going. Hopefully others will catch on after this miserable season.
Foster is speculating that Ron Wolf will become GM, I'd love it if true, and Elmer will be fired. Take it for what it's worth.
among others.... Ron Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to qualified for the fords to have the sence to go after..... I'd take him in a heartbeat though
Maranelli out, Mayhew is the new GM and Lewand the president.Offensive coordinator Jim Colletto has been reassigned to offensive line coach. Nothing to root for anymore. Any hope of revitalization is off. I hate to say this but this but nothing will change until Sr. dies.
I agree with you in theory Roscoe but it's the same situation voters face with inept politicians who get re-elected year in and year out. Being in the Boston area where the only qualification you need to be a pol is to be an idiot and coming from MI where we see the likes of Gran-mole and Kwame (mark my words, he WILL gain office once more down the road) leading our cities and state I see it first hand. The similarities between these two areas are striking. The only difference is, we can't "vote" out an owner. Getting everyone together takes too much organization for something such as this. We need a higher power to step in and say ENOUGH! Don't you think what Detroit fans have shown in trying to get rid of Millen that they've had it? Or maybe you are refering to the fact that us fans should start a new movement to get rid of WCF? I for one am onboard with that! The fire Ford movement is now 1 strong. WHO'S WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew when people started giving Mayhew props for fleecing the Cowboys he would get the GM job. Why fire some coaches and not others? The whole organization needs to be purged. Everyone should be fired all of the coaches, the scouting staff, the trainers, etc. I would also change the logo and the team colors from the pansie blue to something more manly. All WCF is doing is putting a nice shine and little bow on the dog poop he has been peddling year after year. I don't think it is going to work this time old man.
We CAN vote out the owner. Stop buying tickets and discourage others from doing the same. Don't watch games on TV. Write local TV stations and tell them that you won't be tuning in to games and/or coverage of the team. If you work for a company that has a luxury box at Ford Field, submit a petition to your CEO discouraging him from renewing. As consumers, write letters to Lions sponsors stating that you refuse to buy their products as long as they continue to sponsor the Ford-owned Lions. WCF is a business man. If we as fans can convince him that his continued ownership of the Lions is bad business, he'll eventually be forced to sell. Some simple grass-roots organization by fans can make the Ford family's ownership of the Lions a financial disaster and public relations nightmare.

Gender diversity matters in microfinance. WWB champions gender diversity because we believe that diverse perspectives lead to stronger decisions and healthier, more vibrant organizations. Incorporating women's voices when designing and delivering microfinance products is particularly important when a majority of clients are women. Equally as important, microfinance clients often speak of the inspiration they derive from seeing powerful women leaders in the organizations that serve them. How best to achieve diversity? The answer lies in leadership and technical skill development of individual, high-potential leaders as well as in organizational transformations to ensure that all women and men work in environments where they can perform, excel and lead.
"Transforming the Landscape of Leadership in Microfinance: Maintaining the Focus on Women" introduces WWB's new methodology for helping MFIs support gender diversity at all levels of their institution. WWB has expanded its Women's Leadership Development Program, which works with individuals, to include a tool that focuses on the challenges and opportunities microfinance institutions face in the attraction, retention, and promotion of qualified women staff members - the Organizational Gender Assessment.

Daily image
I've got a folder of images, each titled with a date, such as 051508.jpg. Is there a way to get it to automatically use the correct image on the correct day (according to my time zone)? I know there's a way to grab a random image every time the page reloads, but I need a specific image for a specific day.
TIA!you can do it with php:
<img src="folder/to/images/<?php echo date('dmy')?>.jpg" alt="daily img"/>php, use <?php echo date(mdy); ?>.jpg
*Argeaux beat me to it
As you can see with these two examples, you can change the order of the letters to layout the date in American format as per your example.Thanks for the help guys. You definitely put me on the right track. I found a site online that explains all the different date and time formats.
It's not pulling the image up however when I put the code in. It comes in as an empty box with the little missing image icon. When I right-click and "Open image in new window", it gives me a page not found with the url being:
with gag_toons/ being the directory where my images are stored. I've renamed them to 08262008.gif and so on. Based on the code you gave me, here's is what I'm using to call the image:
<img src="gag_toons/<?php echo date('dmy')?>.gif" width="245" height="197" alt="daily img"/>
Any ideas?Does your file have a php extension? Does your server have php installed?Well, I didn't, but I've changed it and I get the same results. According to GoDaddy I do have php installed. Is there any easy way to check to make sure that it is? Any other ideas?Never mind - I just figured out the problem. Part of it was that I didn't have .php as the file extension. When I changed that, the image still wasn't loading. When I right-clicked and opened the image in a new window, I found what the problem was. The echo date was giving the date differently than I had thought (and different than what the website that I used as reference said).
I renamed my image, and it is working now.
Thanks for all your help!!

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Explore need to check Chinese public holidays and avoid trips on these days if possible. The sheer volume of people on a public holiday is very hard and will cause upset as attractions will not be shown at their best.
Do you have anything else to add?
On a negative note we had 20 people on the trip which was a lot, but Tracy was very capable and ran this efficiently by good communication. I think other guides would of struggled. It was advertised as 14 -18 people trip. The group was well balanced witha ll ages and we all got on which helped Tracy as we had no issues that i was aware of. She was a quick thinker when she faced a crisis ( we arrived at a wrong station ). Her people management skills shone out as she managed us all, when she said ""stay here while I go and check"" we all stayed together and did not wander off etc....."

I found a pack of these pen in an old desk drawer at work, and I became hooked. They write smoothly with bright, blue ink, are comfortable to hold for long periods of time, and are great for both everyday use as well as signing professional documents. I love blue pens, and these are my new go-to kind. I bought three packs and am sure I will eat them up quickly.

Kevin VanOrd has the best top 10 list, no over-hyped game in the list if you know what I mean.. But I would exchange Spec Ops with Max Payne in that list.
Personal Perspectives: The Top Ten of 2012
The GameSpot editors reveal their personal top 10 lists for 2012.
Carolyn Petit, Editor Follow
For me, 2012 was a year of unexpected pleasures. A number of big releases were quality games that delivered in exactly the ways that I expected them to, but didn't exceed my expectations or surprise me at all. More often than not, it was the "smaller" games that caught me off-guard, doing wonderful things that I didn't anticipate and earning a place in my heart in the process. Does the distinction between larger and smaller games even matter any more? I'm not sure.
This top-ten list can't accommodate every game I loved in 2012. I want to give honorable mentions to Sine Mora, which I loved for its gameplay, visual style and voice acting, and to SSX which, in addition to being a great update to the classic snowboarding franchise, has my favorite sound design of any game this year.
Of course, there are still many acclaimed games from 2012 that I haven't yet found the time to play. One day I hope to guide the soldiers of XCOM: Enemy Unknown to victory, to discover the realms of Guild Wars 2, and to craft wallets from sharks in Far Cry 3. But, as games like The Walking Dead remind us, we must all make choices, and I can live with mine. Here are my ten favorite games of 2012.
10. New Super Mario Bros. U
This is the first 2D Mario game since the heady days of Super Mario World to remind me of why I loved Mario games so much as a kid. The excellent level design keeps things easy at first, offers a satisfying challenge through most of the game, and forces you to survive some truly diabolical tests of skill if you're intent on earning the coveted 100% designation. Additionally, the sometimes-tired Mushroom Kingdom feels soulful and alive here; finding hidden exits to levels opens up surprising new pathways on the lively world map, providing a joyful reward for your discoveries, and levels like the Starry Night-esque Painted Swampland offer a fresh take on a world that has sometimes felt too familiar. As Nintendo looks to the future with the launch of the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is a terrific throwback to the company's past.
9. Twisted Metal
I loved hopping behind the wheel of Twisted Metal's numerous death machines. The controls felt rough in the most fitting way, like you were driving a vehicle someone had bolted together in his garage from scavenged parts. Indeed, the whole game is rough and ready; sloppy and chaotic, sure, but isn't that the way a sprawling vehicular deathmatch between psychotic combatants should be? I had a great time with the campaign, and one of my biggest gaming disappointments of the year is that the multiplayer was so plagued with problems. On those rare occasions that it worked as intended for me, Twisted Metal's speedy, explosive multiplayer provided the most fun I had in online competition all year.
8. Halo 4
Cortana's wit and intelligence instantly made her one of my favorite characters in the gaming pantheon when she debuted on the scene in Halo: Combat Evolved. Sure, Chief is great, but what would he be as a character without Cortana to play off of? Interacting with the military, John has always been a good soldier, showing little personality beyond his willingness to do whatever needs to be done. It was through Cortana's relationship with the Chief that we got to know them both, and that relationship always provided the humanity at the heart of the lore- and technobabble-heavy Halo narratives. Halo 4 takes this often-sidelined relationship and puts it back at the center, where it belongs. It also has the most exciting Halo campaign since the franchise's debut, offering a well-paced mix of tense situations that find Chief fighting on his own and wide-open battles teeming with vehicles that make you feel like part of a larger conflict. The striking final image of the campaign has lingered in my memory; I don't know where 343 Industries plans to take the series from here, but I sure am eager to find out.
7. Abobo's Big Adventure
If you ever had and loved an NES, Abobo's Big Adventure will set off nostalgic fireworks in your brain with its spot-on recreations of so many characters, environments and tunes from that storied console's library. But there's much more to Abobo's Big Adventure than familiar sprites and music. The game spoofs The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Contra and many other NES games, tossing in tons of great cameos, hilarious moments and other surprises, but it never messes with the gameplay that made those games such classics. As a result, Abobo's Big Adventure is a great window into 8-bit gaming for those who may not have experienced the NES era firsthand, and for those of us who grew up with those games, Abobo's Big Adventure is like playing them again for the first time. It's just a delightful tribute to the Nintendo Entertainment System.
6. Thirty Flights of Loving
Sometimes, in our memories, we see connections between moments that are impossible to see when we're living through those moments. With the distance offered by time, we can see the ways in which moments are connected; one event can bleed into another that took place months prior, or years later. Playing through Thirty Flights of Loving feels to me like experiencing someone else's memories; it's full of smash cuts that move you forward and back through time in ways that can initially be disorienting, but that make emotional sense. I'm a sucker for heist movies so I was immediately drawn to the game's trio of criminals planning a huge vault robbery. I went in expecting a rollicking criminal escapade. What I got instead was a jarring, funny and poignant love story, a wonderful example of visual storytelling at its leanest and most focused. It's only about 15 minutes long, but I'll remember it much more vividly than most 15-hour games I played this year.
5. Max Payne 3
In Max Payne 3, Rockstar takes Max Payne out of the noirish New York setting that, along with Max's cynical, hardboiled internal monologues, defined the tone and identity of the first two games in the series. You can take Max out of America, but you can't take America out of Max, and his bloody experiences in and around Sao Paulo make for an atypical take on the all-too-typical American hero who saves the day. The game uses its setting brilliantly, taking you from hilltop mansions and dance clubs to favelas and condemned buildings. It's got plenty of outrageous action hero moments--if you need someone to dangle from a helicopter and shoot some guys, Max has you covered--but it also takes its time, letting you absorb its world and its story, encouraging you to consider the societal impact of the stark divide between the haves and have-nots, and the ways in which those with power often prey on those without it (a recurring theme in Rockstar games).
Max is a man who, unlike so many action heroes, actually seems troubled by the blood on his hands, and in a medium where lead characters of high-profile games are usually static, it's wonderful to see such a character be a different man at the end of a game than he is at the start.
4. Forza Horizon
Until now, Forza games have been all about racing. What Forza Horizon lets me enjoy, in a way that no game before really has, is the simple pleasure of driving. Of course Horizon isn't remotely the first game to give you an open world you can drive around in, but because of Forza's physics model, driving around in Horizon really feels like driving. And because of its gorgeous landscapes, which include forests, mountains, rock formations, and small town streets, driving around feels like taking a scenic road trip. As someone who enjoys just hitting the open road once in a while, Horizon appeals to my sense of automotive wanderlust like no other game before.
3. The Walking Dead
Few things matter more in this world than who we are in the eyes of the children who look to us for care and protection and guidance. The Walking Dead's crisis situations are the result of a massive zombie outbreak, but this game is really about the relationship between former history professor Lee Everett and nine-year-old girl Clementine. With every choice I made in this game, the concern in my head wasn't "How will this affect the story?" or even "What's the morally right thing to do?" but "What is the right thing to do for Clementine?" Often, the choices weren't clear. I agonized over whether to take food from a seemingly abandoned car so that I could better provide for her, or whether it was more important to set a moral example for her by not taking the food. Ultimately, most of these choices have little impact on the way the story progresses, but they affect the person you are in Clementine's eyes, and that is a powerful thing.
2. Spelunky
It was 1982, a post-Raiders of the Lost Ark world, when I first popped Pitfall! into my Atari 2600 and stepped into the shoes of treasure-hunting adventurer Pitfall Harry. In this world, you could venture left or right, and if you went underground, the logic of the world shifted; moving from one screen to the next underground took you somewhere else than if you'd made that same transition aboveground. Exploring, swinging on ropes, leaping on the heads of crocodiles--it made me feel like an adventurer in the Indiana Jones mold.
Now, thirty years (!!) later, Spelunky captures that same feeling, better than perhaps any game before. Exploration is one of the greatest pleasures video games can offer, and with Spelunky, the exploration never ends. Its mines, jungles, caves and temples are different every time, but they are always filled with danger. Death comes quickly and with severe consequences in Spelunky, so every potentially deadly trap or monster is cause for caution. But you can't be too cautious--linger too long in any area and an invulnerable specter will hunt you down. And the secrets--oh, the secrets! There is so much to discover in Spelunky's world. I'm still learning new things about this game after playing it pretty regularly for months.
The ever-changing nature of Spelunky's world leads to so many unexpected moments, so many tragic yet hilarious stories. I don't know how many times I've been merrily progressing through the game, when suddenly, a particular configuration of hazards and my spectacularly inept attempt to deal with them has led to a failure so sudden and so outrageous that all I can do is throw my hands up and laugh before picking up the controller and giving the quest another go, eager to discover what awaits me this time. Will fortune smile upon me? Will I be blessed with useful items like the compass or a bevy of bombs I can use to blast my own pathways through these treacherous environments? Or will I find myself thrust into darkness, or perhaps faced with the threat of giant spiders or terrifying bees? Even after all the hours I've sunk into Spelunky, I feel like I still haven't come close to exhausting its potential for exciting, death-defying adventure. This game taps into something I've loved about games ever since that fateful day way back in 1982, and I imagine I'll still be playing it for a long, long time.
1. Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami is an example not of style over substance, but of style as substance. If you perfectly duplicated its gameplay in a game about a cartoon sheep attacking wolves in a lush grassland as happy music played, it would not be a fraction of the game that Hotline Miami is. With the help of its propulsive, relentless electronic soundtrack, Hotline Miami pumped my cerebral cortex so full of lightning-fast, neon-bright violence and garish 80s opulence that I feel like the experience of playing it rewired my brain. Of course, the gameplay is crucial to the experience as well; it's in the chemically volatile fusion of mechanics and aesthetics that the magic happens. Yes, the enemies in Hotline Miami are stupid as hell, but they are exactly what they need to be to make the game so nerve-wracking. They react fast, encouraging you to act even faster. You often have little choice but to behave recklessly, charging into rooms and hoping that you can kill the thugs waiting inside before they even know you're there.
On some stages, I died dozens of times. When I would succeed in clearing out most of a level, and knew I either had to kill the last few thugs or face the entire stage full of Russian gangsters again, the level of tension I felt was almost uncomfortable. But I was far too hooked on the experience to give up, to walk away. Grooving to the music, I was driven onward. I died. I hit R instantly. I started again. And again. And again. It was trancelike. It was transportive. It was truly unforgettable. When I close my eyes, I can still see the biker, speeding along sleekly in the warm Miami night.
