Sonic Lost World (ソニックロストワールド Sonikku Rosuto Wārudo?) is an action-adventure platform video game published by Nintendo in Europe and Australia[1] and Sega in North America and Japan, and developed by Sonic Team for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms. The game was released in October 2013. The game's story focuses on the efforts of the Deadly Six, a tribe who serves as the game's main antagonists, as they seek to siphon energy from the world. Sonic the Hedgehog must team up with Doctor Eggman to stop the Deadly Six. The game received mixed reviews upon release; its controls were frequently criticized, but its visuals and audio were seen positively.
Sonic Lost World is a platform game with action-adventure elements, in which the player controls Sonic the Hedgehog as he travels across the Lost Hex in order to rescue captured animals and stop the Deadly Six.[5] Levels range from side-scrolling 2D levels to fast-moving 3D linear levels to levels taking place on spherical worlds similar to the cancelled Sonic X-treme and the Super Mario Galaxy series.[6][7][8] This also translates to the 3DS version, the first handheld game in the series to feature 3D gameplay.[5]
The game uses a new control system which allows players to control Sonic's speed. Simply moving the directional controls will move Sonic at a moderate pace, allowing for more precision. Holding down a trigger button will put Sonic into a run, allowing him to move faster and perform new parkour moves, such as running up and along walls and hopping over smalls ledges.[5] In the air, Sonic can perform a double jump, which returns from Sonic Colors, a homing attack, which can now target multiple enemies in quick succession, and a new kick attack, which can be used to defeat stronger enemies, or knock them into others. Also returning from Colors are the Wisp abilities, which are now controlled using the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen and gyroscopic features. Alongside returning powers such as Drill, Laser and Rocket, new powers include Eagle, which lets Sonic fly through the air, Asteroid, which atomizes objects in his path, and Rhythm, which lets him bounce along a path of notes. There are also some Wisps exclusive to each version of the game.[9] During the game, players can rescue animals by destroying enemies or opening containers, allowing players to progress, or find Red Star Rings that open up circus-themed bonus stages where players can earn more animals. Collecting all the Red Star Rings in the game unlocks the ability to transform into Super Sonic.[5][10]
The Wii U version supports both co-operative multiplayer, in which a second player can control a remote controlled vehicle to assist Sonic, and competitive multiplayer, in which a second player can use the Wii U Gamepad screen to race against the other player.[11] The game also supports Miiverse and Off-TV Play functionality.[12] Using Miiverse, players can exchange items such as Wisps or shields, which grow more effective if they are used by other players. The 3DS version supports both local and online multiplayer for up to four players, and features exclusive special stages that use gyroscopic controls. Golden RC vehicles appear in the single-player mode of the 3DS version if the player dies multiple times on a level, along with special monitors that transport the player to the next checkpoint in the Wii U version.[13] Players may also customise RC vehicles in the 3DS version, which can then be used in the Wii U version.[14][15]
Seven returning characters from previous Sonic titles star in Sonic Lost World. The protagonist, Sonic the Hedgehog is a hedgehog who must defeat the main antagonist Doctor Eggman and stop the Deadly Six. Aiding him in his quest is Miles "Tails" Prower, Sonic's fox friend who has the ability to fly. Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic's echidna friend, and Amy Rose, his pink hedgehog self-proclaimed girlfriend, also make relatively minor appearances.
The main antagonist of the series, Doctor Eggman, is a mad scientist who seemingly turns over a new leaf to help Sonic stop the Deadly Six.[16] Orbot and Cubot make a return appearance as Eggman's henchmen. Also serving as the main antagonists and boss characters are the Deadly Six, a group of the world's indigenous Zeti race consisting of Zazz, a hyperactive Zeti; Zomom, an obese and dim-witted Zeti; Master Zik, the elderly founder of the tribe and Zavok's teacher; Zeena, a flirtatious and self-absorbed Zeti; Zor, a diminutive and pessimistic Zeti; and Zavok, the tribe's leader. The tribe plans to steal the energy from Sonic's world.[17]
Sonic the Hedgehog and his friend Miles "Tails" Prower pursue Doctor Eggman, who has captured several of their animal friends with the intention of using them to power his robot army.[18] While the two attempt to retrieve a falling capsule filled with animals, Eggman shoots down Tails' plane.[19] However, they end up discovering a world in the sky known as the Lost Hex, and crash land there.[20] Entering the Windy Hill Zone, Sonic and Tails makes their way through clouds and the grassy fields. The duo then discover that Eggman has enlisted the help of a group of the world's indigenous Zeti race, collectively known as the Deadly Six, using a magical conch to keep them under his command. However, when Sonic rushes in and kicks the conch away, the Deadly Six rebel against Eggman and take control of his Badnik army. They then start to use one of Eggman's machines to siphon energy from Sonic's world below, planning to drain all of its life force until there is nothing left and use it to power themselves up. Reluctantly, Sonic agrees to work with Eggman, believing that he needs his help to stop the machine, though this seems to cause some distrust between him and Tails.
As Sonic battles his way throughout the Lost Hex, the Deadly Six concoct a plan to capture Sonic and turn him into a robot under their control, but they end up accidentally capturing Tails instead. After Eggman fakes his death, Sonic comes across the Deadly Six as they prepare to use the roboticized Tails against him. However, prior to the conversion, Tails managed to reprogram the process to retain his free will and instead helps Sonic to defeat them. Upon reaching the machine and finding it switched off, Eggman reappears and attempts to use the energy harvested to power his latest giant mech. Upon defeating Eggman, Sonic and Tails return the stolen energy to the world below and return home. In the post-credits cutscene, Eggman was shown to have survived his fall by landing on a soft spot of dirt. His servants Orbot and Cubot dig him out, but not before a rabbit chews off half of his moustache. [5][21][22]
Development for Lost World started shortly after Sonic Colors was finished[23] and took place over two-and-a-half years.[2] Sonic Team sought to streamline the controls,[24] increase the length,[23] and add more diverse levels compared to previous entries in the series.[14] After reviewing the history of the franchise with Sonic Generations, game producer Takashi Iizuka hoped to "deliver a new experience" with Lost World.[23] Development started on PC, with early experiments involving "twisted tube-type level[s]" inspired by "Jack and the Beanstalk".[23] As the concept "was totally new", early levels had to be remade "over and over."[25] Players were given greater ability to control Sonic's speed in an effort to create a more traditional platforming experience.[2] The parkour mechanic was introduced to maintain a more fluid sense of movement, in contrast to previous Sonic games where running into a wall would force the player to a complete stop.[24] Iizuka stated that "This game is like going into the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland", an action game where you can experience many strange and fun experiences."[23]
Development ultimately focused on the Wii U and 3DS because of the success of previous Sonic titles on Nintendo platforms.[2] Because Wii U "has two monitors to use", Sonic Team decided to include both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.[23] The Wii U GamePad's touch screen and gyroscope were employed to activate the returning Color Powers.[2] The 3DS version, co-developed with Dimps, was designed to "fully utilize" the 3DS hardware with 3D gameplay and motion controls.[23] Development was harder on 3DS due to its more limited processing power.[23] Iizuka stated that the Color Powers are "essential" to the level design of the 3DS version, while they work as an "additional tool" in the Wii U version.[23] A simple art style was used to make objects stand out more against the backgrounds, and to keep the game running at a consistent 60 frames per second.[26] The design of the new "Deadly Six" villains was based on that of an ogre, and each one's appearance was intended to reflect a certain key characteristic of their personality, which the developers hoped players could see "just by looking at them."[27] The Wii U version of the game was directed by Morio Kishimoto, the director of Sonic Colors and the lead designer of Sonic and the Black Knight,[2][28] while the 3DS version was directed by Takao Hirabayashi, the director of Sonic Colors DS.[2]
A trademark for the title Sonic Lost World was filed by Sega in May 2013, and pointed out by website Siliconera on May 15, 2013.[29][30] The game was first revealed on May 17, 2013 in a Nintendo Direct announcement,[31] as part of an exclusive partnership between Sega and Nintendo for the Sonic the Hedgehog series.[30] It is one of three games in this partnership, the other ones being the fourth entry to the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series, and Sonic Boom, a game based on the animated series of the same name. Sega reported that more on the game would be revealed before the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 convention,[32] and that the game will contain both returning and new original characters, both in enemies and friends of Sonic.[33] On May 23, 2013, Sega posted a teaser, showing silhouette images of the Deadly Six, and stating that more would be revealed on May 29.[34] The first trailer for the game was released on May 28, a day earlier than previously announced.[10]
On October 9, 2013, a downloadable demo of the "Windy Hill Zone 1" stage was made available in Japan for both Wii U and 3DS.[35] The demo was later released in the United States and Europe on November 14 and November 21 respectively.[36][37] The game's official soundtrack, titled Without Boundaries, was released via physical media in Japan on November 27, 2013 and digitally in the United States and Europe on December 2, 2013.[38] To promote the release of Sonic Lost World, Hardlight Studios released an update for Sonic Dash that includes a boss battle against Zazz, one of the Deadly Six.[39]
Downloadable content and patches[edit]
A special, limited stock "Deadly Six" edition of the Wii U version of the game was available for pre-order, which included special "Nightmare" downloadable content, featuring a new stage and boss battles based on one of Sonic Team's previous games, Nights into Dreams.... Clearing the DLC unlocks a special Color Power, the Black Bomb, normally only obtainable via Miiverse.[40][41] Additional pre-order bonuses differed by retailer, including special Gold or Sonic Omochao RC gadgets, 25 extra lives, and additional Color Power uses.[42]
A patch for the Wii U version was released on December 10, 2013, adding additional features such as button controls for some Wisps and the traditional extra life reward for collecting 100 rings.[43]
On December 18, 2013, Nintendo announced two exclusive pieces of free DLC for the Wii U version based on other Nintendo games. The first DLC stage, "Yoshi's Island Zone", was released on the day of the announcement,[44] with a second DLC, "The Legend of Zelda Zone", released on March 27, 2014.[45]
Critical reaction[edit]
Sonic Lost World received mixed reviews from critics, with a current Metacritic score of 63/100 on Wii U and 59/100 on 3DS.
The game's presentation was well-received. Chris Plante of Polygon praised the Wii U version's visuals and music as "arguably the best" in the series.[70] Game Informer's Tim Turi wrote that "The orchestrated tracks evoke Mario Galaxy in the best ways."[61] Gaming Trend's Stefan Alexander complimented "the popping bright colors and insanely fast speed of motion", and hailed the music as "some of the best in the series."[74] GameSpot's Mark Walton[65] and Computer and Videogames's Chris Scullion[50] singled out the candy-themed "Dessert Ruins" level as a visual highlight. However, Turi made note of "ultra-compressed" cutscenes in the 3DS version.[62] IGN's Vince Ingenito was favorable to the "pleasant" art direction and stable framerate, but criticized the "subdued" color palette.[67] Roger Hargreaves of Metro stated that the "imaginative" designs and "spectacular set piece[s]" kept him "interested to know what comes next."[76] Chris Schilling of Eurogamer was even more effusive: "Blue skies forever!"[53]
Strong criticism was directed at the game's control scheme, especially the new parkour mechanic. Turi "never got a good feel for the rhythm of wall running and jumping, and felt lucky to pass sections where it was forced."[61] Hargreaves,[76] Walton,[65] and Official Nintendo Magazine's Matthew Castle[79] agreed. Ingenito pointed out that Sonic "has a tendency to wall run on any vertical surface he's airborne near, whether I want him to or not".[67] However, IGN's Jose Otero said the parkour "felt great" and "turned most obstructions into minor hurdles" in the 3DS version,[68] while Nintendo Insider's Alex Seedhouse called the parkour "far more responsive" on 3DS.[78] The multi-lock homing attack was widely panned. Schilling wrote that while "most of the time it works perfectly well", it appeared to "inexplicably fail" on occasion, calling it "imprecise" on Wii U and "even more capricious" on 3DS.[53] Ingenito,[67] Turi,[61][62] and Hargreaves[76] agreed. Castle struggled with the homing attack "locking on too late or attacking enemies in awkward sequence."[79] GamesRadar's Justin Towell defended the control scheme, explaining that while it "take[s] time to adapt", it also "modernize[s] environmental traversal" and "provide[s] a distinct safety net". Towell argued that Sonic was harder to control in the "more complex 2D sections" because there are "so many rules for how Sonic reacts contextually to his environment".[63] Reona Ebihara of Famitsu stated that the ability to slow down made the game "a bit easier to play for action beginners."[59] However, Turi criticized Sonic's "odd sense of momentum" and "imprecise jumping mechanics",[61] stating that switching between "two opposing speeds" is "jarring" and "can lead to touchy platforming".[62] Walton agreed.[65] Official Nintendo Magazine's Joe Skrebels felt that Sonic "controls far better at top speed on 3DS".[80] Kotaku's Stephen Totilo stated that the 3DS version does a much better job of teaching the controls to the player,[75] although Turi derided its "constant, lengthy tutorial text".[62] Schilling excoriated the "profoundly frustrating" controls as the worst in the series, explaining that "Sonic's too sluggish while walking, and too skittish to cope with the trickier platforming bits when running".[53] Ingenito agreed: "I've played a lot of Sonic over the years, and the controls have never felt as alien and inconsistent as they do here."[67]
Reaction to the game's level design was mixed. Turi made note of oddly placed invisible springs in the Wii U version's "confusing" and "aggravating" levels,[61] and expressed frustration with the 3DS version's "head-scratching" puzzles.[62] Walton preferred the "inoffensive" 2D sections to the "frustrating mishmash of speed and exploration" found in 3D.[65] Plante praised the Wii U version's 3D stages as "wildly creative exercises in platforming experimentation" while blasting its 2D stages as "so clunky and tiresome that it's hard to imagine a time when a side-scrolling Sonic was actually good."[70] Fellow Polygon writer Philip Kollar was harsher on the 3DS version due to its "confusing and labyrinthine" level design and "awkward puzzles".[71] Ingenito stated that the Wii U version's levels were stuck in "design gridlock" and "lack[ed] rhythm and cohesion".[67] Otero praised the 3DS version's "better levels" as "competently made race tracks full of alternate pathways", but called the "trial and error" required to complete the "slower-paced 3D stages" "incredibly frustrating".[68] Castle stated that the Wii U version's "best stages play to the strengths of Sonic's tiered speed",[79] while Skrebels felt the 3DS version featured levels well-suited for handheld play.[80] Totilo praised "the intuitive, flowing, player-friendly levels of the 3DS version" but panned "the badly-explained, choppy, punitive levels of the Wii U version".[75] Schilling wrote that "I came perilously close to biting my GamePad at one particularly sharp difficulty spike."[53] Edge noted that "Sonic games, and platformers in general, have always been about memorizing the lay of the land, but rarely have mistakes been so costly or heavily punished."[52]
The alternate gameplay styles polarized many critics. Daniel Cairns of VideoGamer.com and Castle highlighted the level where Sonic becomes a giant snowball as "genuinely excellent"[72] and "a cool riff on Monkey Ball",[79] whereas Turi and Ingenito described it as "atrocious"[61] and "uncontrollabl[e]".[67] Turi "received multiple game overs during a mundane mandatory pinball sequence."[61] Walton felt that some of the Wisps were an "amusing aside," while others suffered from "frustrating motion controls".[65] GameTrailers' Justin Speer stated that the Wisps "don't really feel like they belong" in the Wii U version.[66] Totilo preferred how the Wisps were used in the 3DS version,[75] but Towell stated that while they were "more integral" to the design, they tended to interrupt "the free-form gameplay" with "clumsy mechanic[s]".[64] Towell described the 3DS version's motion-controlled Special Stages as "borderline unplayable",[64] but Seedhouse praised them as a "significant stroke of genius".[78] Totilo and Castle criticized the Wii U version's Jetpack Joyride-style flying levels as "regrettable"[75] and "horribly imprecise".[79] Turi and Totilo criticized the Wii U version's balloon-popping minigame as "mind-numbing"[61] and "awkward".[75] Turi called the Wii U version's co-op mode "useless",[61] although Seedhouse believed it was "suitable for families with younger players".[77] Castle wrote that "Two-player races would be a cool addition were it not for the horrible framerate issues."[79]
The Deadly Six were negatively received. Although Towell enjoyed their "fun, stereotypical personalities", he was disappointed by their "awful" dialogue.[63] Speer called the boss battles "weirdly anticlimactic",[66] Alexander noted that they "primarily consist of a repetition of homing attacks",[74] and Ingenito stated they were "some of the most boring in the series' history".[67] Turi referred to the Deadly Six as "generic", "forgettable", and "some of the most aggressively annoying villains ever."[61]
Critics disagreed over what to make of the game as a whole. Alexander wrote that Lost World "harks back to the classic days of gaming that got me into video games in the first place, a time when developers aimed to challenge players rather than guide their hand through a movie experience."[74] Destructoid's Jim Sterling said it "can wildly swing from brilliant to horrific at the drop of a hat, but when one steps back and takes a look at the whole production, one sees far more to love than hate."[51] Plante noted that "the early stages display a degree of design ingenuity and polish which gradually degrades".[70] Empire's David McComb called it "A cheap, cruel, crushing disappointment in the wake of Sonic Colors and Generations."[73] Walton concluded that "in overtly coveting the great Italian plumber, it smothers the talents of its blazing blue hedgehog."[65]
During its opening week in the UK, Sonic Lost World charted at #11 on the All-formats chart, but achieved the top spot on the Wii U chart and #4 on the Nintendo 3DS chart.[81] As of the end of 2013, Sega had shipped 640,000 copies of the game.[82] As of March 31, 2014, the game had sold 710,000 copies.[83]

"So unless 11.5 million of WoW's 12 million players are Mac users, I'll say that being on Mac is NOT why WoW is so huge, not by a long shot."
You're missing something with that, though. MMOs make it or don't on people continuing to play. And what, more than anything else, gets people to continue playing? The relationships they have online.
If you can't migrate over to shiny new game X without leaving behind friends who can't afford to (or simply won't) buy a new machine just to play it... well, you're less likely to get as deeply involved in the new game. And besides, you miss your buddy with the mac... so you go back to WoW.

Oprah Winfrey has sued three Utah companies over unauthorized use of the TV talk-show hostess' name and image to promote nutritional supplements, and the Illinois attorney general also is suing one of them alleging fraudulent business practices.
The lawsuits involving about 50 entities are a frontal assault by Winfrey on those that have been using her name and that of Mehmet Oz, a doctor who appears frequently on her show, without permission to promote products for colon cleansing and combat aging.
"We know that thousands of people have been misled by these marketing practices," said Marc Rachman, the attorney for Oz and Winfrey and companies that manage their images and trademarks, on Friday. "Oprah.com has received e-mail in the thousands from people who believe Oprah and Dr. Oz are affiliated with these products and have endorsed them when they haven't."
Named in the Winfrey lawsuit are Monavie, the high flying South Jordan company selling a drink based on the açai berry of Brazil; Crush LLC of Sandy; and 456 Vital Health Systems LLC of Spanish Fork.
The attorney general of Illinois also has sued Crush and its parent company, TMP Nevada, alleging violations of that state's consumer fraud and deceptive business practices act.
The Winfrey suit alleges that after Oz, who practices at the Columbia University Medical Center, appeared several times on the show discussing health issues, the defendant companies began to market products falsely using their names as endorsements.
A top official at Monavie said Friday it was mistakenly put on the list of "Internet scammers" who trade on the reputation of the açai as a health-promoting berry the company makes into a drink product. CFO Devin Thorpe said the company did not promote free trials of products, had a liberal money-back policy and did not say or imply that Winfrey or Oz had endorsed the Monavie açai-based juice.
"We really feel like we're the victims of these Internet scammers every bit as much as Oprah is a victim of them," said Thorpe. "Monavie really created the açai business in the United States ... And it's really [Internet scammers] trading on our good name."
Jason Brailow, a principal officer at Crush and its parent, TMP Nevada, also denied his companies used Winfrey's or Oz's names as an endorsement on the Web sites.
"They thought they were doing something we didn't do," he said.
Brailow also claimed there already was an agreement to drop the lawsuit. But Rachman, the lead lawyer, said he had not had any discussions with Brailow or his company about the lawsuit.
"I haven't discussed anything with Crush LLC," he said. "If I haven't, I don't think anyone else has."
The company 456 Health Systems -- or its related entities FCM Performance Health USA and AEG Partners Ltd. -- could not be reached for comment.
Brailow also denied the allegations in the Illinois lawsuit that the company was using deceptive Web pages to lure customers with a "risk-free trial offer" for a sample of the product, then quickly starting to charge customers' credit cards monthly for shipments. Some customers received the samples after the 14-day trial period had ended and were already being charged monthly, while others couldn't reach customer service to cancel their automatic payments, the lawsuit says.
Brailow said almost all customers who wanted their money back have had it returned and that customers can easily reach customer service representatives.
A call to one of the company's toll-free customer numbers was promptly answered Friday afternoon.

Chris Clark, president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, said Wednesday that defeat of this summer's transportation sales tax is proof that extremists on the left and right are ganging up against business, says Larry Peterson over at the Savannah Morning News:
His remarks were part of a wide-ranging overview of the programs, goals and concerns of the chamber, Georgia's largest business group.
"It used to be," Clark said in reference to state government, " … we could stand in the background and whisper and nudge our friends and we could move the business agenda along.
"But the world's changed. It's not like that any more. We have folks on both ends of the political spectrum that are anti-business."
Clark cited a recent group of regional referendums on proposed penny sales taxes for transportation projects. Voters in most of the state, including Chatham County, rejected them.
To be clear, business types have often accused those on the political left of being anti-business. The news is that the chamber leader is now wrapping a major portion of the Republican base into that characterization. Clark said his chamber group was boosting its lobbying efforts at the state Capitol as a result.
Former GOP presidential candidate and future radio talk show host Herman Cain this morning endorsed the proposed charter schools amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot.
"I'm sorry, but Georgia's professional education establishment just isn't cutting it for a lot of kids, so we need to give parents and children as many choices as possible," said Cain. "Charter schools are a great option for families who want another public school choice."
Opponents of the charter school measure have been the most common targets of those who say taxpayer funds are being used for campaigning.
But Karen Noll, a member of the anti-charter group Valdosta Women's Voices sends the photo at left – taken at an Oct. 13 high school cross-country meet in Tifton.
"The runners from a publicly funded school in Georgia wore T-shirts with 'Vote Yes' and the symbol from the proponent organization on the back and Pataula Charter Academy, the school name, on the front," Noll wrote in a letter addressed to Attorney General Sam Olens.
Walter Jones at Morris News Service says a move is afoot at the state Capitol to decriminalize many traffic offenses:
Legislators, judges, lawyers and cops are spending the fall debating proposals for removing criminal penalties and jail time for some traffic offenses as a way to save taxpayers money on court costs….
Among the proposals being kicked around are versions of ideas tried in 14 other states in which drivers simply pay a fine, maybe even online, without the fear of going to jail for certain infractions like a broken taillight or crossing a yellow line. Jail time still would be possible for some serious issues like drunk driving, and minor offenses could become more serious if committed in conjunction with a major traffic crime.

Oh boo-hoo Chris Clark. The Chambers are what changed — morphing vaguely rah-rah cheerleading outfits for local biz to sophisticated special interest lobbying outfits, more rent-seeker guilds than anything remotely and broadly pro-commerce. Yes, until the advent of cheap communication tech you could do your whispering and nudging in secret. No more. And you don't like it.
Too bad. Make your policy case out in the open. If you dare. Explain, for example, why spending scarce transportation dollars on subsidized re-development schemes is good public policy. Remember only the connected insiders can hear your whispers and feel your nudges.

Wah, wah, wah. Mr. Unions-R-OK-for-Businessmen-Not-Workers is upset because he's not as popular as he wants to be. Poor baby. What's the matter? Are the legislators he purchased demanding more and more cash to do his bidding? What happened to the principles of the "free market?" If everybody thinks his little "chamber" BS sucks, maybe it's because it sucks. Maybe he should change his "business model" to be less offensive to the general population. Just a suggestion there, buddy.
October 18th, 2012
1:08 pm
It might be time for Mr. Clark to do what I regularly do with my customers…..
Inquire about the products and services they are seeking, rather than decide in advance if 'it's good for me then it must be good for them'
I guess the chamber will never get beyond the plantation owner mentality.
October 18th, 2012
1:08 pm
Apparently high-priced lobbyists calling in favors at the Capitol no longer guarantees of 100% success. Poor Chamber of Commerce. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, as they need all the help they can get.

Translation: "It used to be" as simple as paying off the right people and getting whatever we wanted. Dang politicians won't stay bought anymore.
We've heard that song before. the lyrics vary a little but the tune remains the same. I'm old enough to remember this one: "Some of the people who ate my barbeque didn't vote for me." — former Gov. Marvin Griffin
October 18th, 2012
2:01 pm
"It used to be," Clark said in reference to state government, " … we could stand in the background and whisper and nudge our friends and we could move the business agenda along."
And now that he can't promote his agenda under the table, suddenly people are anti-business?
Or could it *possibly* be that the electorate (both left and right) are tired of the same type of backroom deals that led to the current mess in the first place?
October 18th, 2012

Georgia Chamber leader says right, left ganging up on business
That is what happens when business colludes with lawmakers to shaft the taxpayers/citizens.
October 18th, 2012
2:54 pm
Mr. Clark certainly wins points for audacity. Georgia is one of the most pro-business and consumer unfriendly states in the nation. Transparency and accountability. should be one of the ideals of the state government, rather than backroom whispers and nudges. I think the business community has been more successful, despite the recent loss in the transportation referendum, when they are acting openly and publicly to bring pressure on balky lawmakers for needed change. Atlanta's "city too busy to hate" of the late 1960's sprang from just that type of action.
October 18th, 2012
3:03 pm
The Chamber of Commerce is an organization that endangers America's poor and working class far more than any terrorist group does
October 18th, 2012

I've never joined my local chamber because, in the unlikely event I want to contribute to Republican candidates, I can do so myself, and not have them do it for me.
October 18th, 2012
4:19 pm
No, Mr. Clark, the defeat of T-SPLOST is proof that Georgia taxpayers are tired of the Chamber's scheming with our representatives to try to force through bad legislation that creates giant slush funds and nothing of value for those who pay for it.
Whispering so that the taxpayers and voters cannot hear you and nudging your "friends" (who are supposed to represent those same folks) is not as effective when you get caught trying your best to collude in a coverup of the destruction of Atlanta's school system, or when you use your membership to browbeat employees to vote for your slush fund.
Coming out and whining is not very effective either. Try thinking beyond your own narrow self-interest and see if you can build a coalition instead of a monopoly.
October 18th, 2012
5:06 pm
Isn't it apparent the Georgia Chamber is doing a miserable job considering that people on both the right and the left oppose the Chamber's key initiatives? Doesn't it seem the Chamber has lost its moorings?

This guy was Sonny Boy's campaign manger, then the bag man at GEFA, and then he took the exalted position of heading up DNR. That was fabulous, a double-header of trashing EPD and diverting DNR Wildlife Resources Division money to Sonny's costly Go Fish Georgia scam and the Oaky Woods scandal–signing the highest paying lease for private land to be used as a WMA, while four separate [free] Chattahoochee National Forest WMAs were dropped from the DNR roster.
Now, after heading the state department that was in charge of environmental protection for Georgia, he's pimping for Southern Company and denying global warming, acid rain, asthma, and mercury poisoning. What a GOP prostitute. Fight the cracker corpocracy.
October 18th, 2012
9:23 pm
In my county, the local Chamber gets a large part of their funds from the local hotel/motel tax. They're basically a government subsidized private club. They claim to hate that sort of thing but they take the money with no qualms.
October 18th, 2012
10:43 pm
Chris Clark is the most egotistical moron I have ever met. Any organization employing this individual must really be desparate. Oh, what fine work he did for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Lame Brain!
October 18th, 2012
10:45 pm
Of course, I cannot think of any Sonny Perdue staffers, advisors, CFOs, CEOs, or other capitol trash that were worth a damn!
October 19th, 2012
11:28 am
Clark is a slick, resume-padding, seemingly amoral, self-promoter. He wants to be governor. The voters of GA will no doubt elect him, and GA will continue it's decline, in the hands of crony capitalists.

3DS Wants To Make Your Eyes Bleed With Old Games Too
Posted on Tuesday, September 28 @ 23:02:22 Eastern by Daniel BischoffNintendo of Japan are holding a 3DS event right now-ish and have announced that the Virtual Console on the 3DS will have classic Game Boy titles... in 3D!
While I don't have a ton of information to share right now, especially considering the event is happening right now, not to mention overseas, some spare details are very worthy of mention. The 3DS has also gotten a launch date and a preliminary launch "window" line up. Oh... and a price. Check out that stylus!
25000 Yen equates to roughly US $300! Let's not over react too quickly though. Things tend to be more expensive in some places, notably Japan.
When I was there in high school, CDs were about $30.
I'll be sure to post again when more comprehensive details are available for western territories, but until then, check out this long list of games!

text: The atmosphere was different to any other film I've ever been on. He's very concerned about every actor. He involves you with all the others. He's so welcoming, and you go to his house. You just feel it's almost a family affair, not the remote suits you're usually dealing with, but I had no idea he'd be such a great guy! He's just so warm! It's wonderful to be that relaxed on a film, not permanently terrified. - Maggie Smith, about Robert Altman.

should i make the first move?

Depends on what you mean by "first move"...I've watched documentaries where they claim is almost always the woman who "initiates" things. By making eye contact, subtle flirting...smiling...touching his arm...giving him the signals so that when he asks, he

I've always preferred that men approach me first. I know that sounds so "Rules"-y, but some things just don't change, and I think a man SHOULD take the initiative. No matter how far women have come, I still feel they should allow the men to pursue them. By taking the initiative first, you put him into an awkward position, and he might date you, get involved you, just b/c he didn't know what else to DO w/you.
So I believe in letting the guy make that first move. If he doesn't, then he's too wimpy for me and in that case, I don't want him. And why would I want a man who doesn't want me?

But I told her it want no luck in it, because the Lord put roads for travelling: why He laid them down flat on the earth. When He aims for something to be always a-moving, He makes it longways, like a road or a horse or a wagon, but when He aims for something to stay put, He makes it up-and-down ways, like a tree or a man. And so he never aimed for folk to live on a road, because which gets there first, I says, the road or the house?

After the Volturi leave Forks, from confronting the Cullens about Renesmee they don't really trust the Cullens anymore. So Aro sends Alec and Jane to Forks to keep an eye on the area.
Emily is the other, unknown hybrid, daughter of Rosalie and Emmett. She is not the easiest to get along with, so when Alec and Jane show up, she isn't to happy. She stays away from them at all costs.
The Cullens leave for a night to go to the Denali coven, leaving Renesmee and Emily behind. Hoping that they can trust Alec enough to keep trouble away.
After Renesmee goes to bed, and Alec and Emily start talking, Emily see's something different in him. Something worth loving, something showing that there are reasons he is stuck with the Volturi.
Over the next few weeks, Emily notices that, without her control or permission she has started to love Alec. Her parent's hate it, and when they find out, they try to keep the two apart.
What will happen to Emily after all this?
Named after both her parents, Emily looks more like Rose, and has Rose's attitude. She has her dads sarcastic traits though.
She is eight years old, but looks like she is eighteen and acts it also.
She just graduated high school for the first time, and is planning on having a fun summer with best and only friend Melissa, that is until Alec and Jane shows up, ruining her summer plans.
She wants to keep far away from them at all costs, but when Alec starts showing interest in her, she thinks he is out to torture her, until she slowly starts falling for him also.
It's very confusing for her.

Physical Age: 18

Ability: She has a connection with the air.

Alec: Life In A Dead World

Emily watched, and then lied down for some more.
Melissa yawned.
Emmett nods. "There here."
Front Desk Lady: She checks the conputer. "No, we do not, sorry." She says.
Emmett stood there. "What about a Seth Clearwater?" He asks.
Front Desk Lady: She checks the computer.
Emmett looked at Rose. "I can smell him, and if what your saying is true, and they are trying to cover their tracks, it would be in his name." He says to quiet for the human to hear.
Front Desk Lady: "Yes we do, room 204 second floor."
Emily watched, yawning.
Melissa sat up, streching.
Emmett nods, and then followed Rose.
Emily sat there.
Melissa looked around. "I'm hungrey."She says.
Emmett stood there aswell, waiting.
Emily looked at tne door, obviously nervous, than calmed down, going to answer the door.
Melissa nods, looking at him.
Melissa looked up at him, and shook her head. "No! I dont want to get dressed."
Emily hugged her mom back.
Emily shook her head. "Dont worry." She says.
Melissa frlwned.

What We Do: CM4 presents their signature Q Card Case Pacific Green.
Thanks to Quiyst for a great review of our Q Card Case!
I'm having all sorts of iPhone-related luck today!
I have a problem with iPhone cases. I have way too many of them, and I tend to dress my iPhone differently for each situation. (Really, I have more cases than my wife has pairs of shoes. Come to think of it, I have more shoes than she does, too.) I just received this case in the mail today, and I can already tell that it's a keeper.
In a very slim but protective form, it combines an iPhone 4/4S case with a wallet that holds "three cards plus cash," though I use it to carry three credit cards, my driver's license, and my concealed carry permit (the latter two being as thick as a few bills).
I'm usually a "big wallet" guy, but this allows me to grab my phone and have everything I really need to leave the house (short of my keys). I even took well-cropped pictures of all of my insurance cards and put them into a dedicated photo album on the iPhone so that I at least have the information with me.
I carry a bag to and from work anyway, so I put my old wallet (which still holds all the "other cards" I might need in a week) into my bag, so those things will at least be as close as my bag or the parking lot. I put my cash into one pocket with a nice silver money clip I've had for years but rarely used, and I put my phone into the other pocket. Even with the above-mentioned cards, the case still feels slim and good in the hand. It comes in a number of colors and runs about $31-39 depending on where you get it. (I bought mine on Amex points through Amazon, so it was essentially free.)
This is just hour one with the case, but it's already lightened the load on my pockets considerably. I see why almost all the ratings on Amazon are 5-star; this is good stuff.

Looks like Facebook is looking to start development on a new smartphone in 2013. I think maybe they should consider updating their [redacted] mobile app before making an actual phone. Am I right or am I right?!

DaVanci Labs Niacinamide 500 mg - 100 Tablets
DaVanci Labs Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that does not produce flushing (feeling hot) when taken in large amounts. High amounts (several grams per day) of DaVanci Labs Niacinamide have been shown to lower cholesterol. Supplemental DaVanci Labs Niacinamide has been reported to increase joint mobility, improve muscle strength, and decrease fatigue in people with osteoarthritis. The body uses the water-soluble vitamin B3 in the process of releasing energy from carbohydrates. It is needed to form fat from carbohydrates and to process alcohol. The niacin form of vitamin B3 also regulates cholesterol, though niacinamide does not.

2006 subaru impreza 2.5
In july my timing belt broke driving on the hwy going 75 mph and bent the valves. i had the yiming belt and all the valves replaced and ever since my car is going through about a quart a week. The mechanic told me that te oil consumption should have nothing to do with the valves and could be only one of two things, the pcv valve or the rings. I am suspicious of a shotty job considering he did the job for considerably less then everyone else i got a quote from and i am wandering that if any corners were cut in the valve job could cause oil to burn.

Although I certainly agree with the sentiment in Robert Hollenberg's letter Holiday encroachment increasing by the year, (Dec.3), I just offer a correction from my point of view.
For people of many Christian faith traditions, Christmas does not begin after Thanksgiving, it begins at midnight on Dec. 25 and runs until Jan. 6, the actual season of Christmas popularized in the carol The Twelve Days of Christmas. Jan. 6 marks Epiphany, when the Wise Men arrived in Bethlehem. The period preceding Christmas is called Advent, a wonderful time of prayer, preparation and reflecting on scriptural promises.
It breaks my heart on Dec. 26 to not be able to listen to Christmas carols on the radio and to see many Christmas trees absent from windows; even our wonderful downtown Christmas lights go dark on Jan. 1. As Andy Williams sings, It's the most wonderful time of the year. So let's enjoy it for its full duration.

The issue of truancy and early school leaving has been a longstanding social problem. The current high school drop out rate of thirty percent has government officials and educators very concerned about the future of our youth. A prevalent theme in the truancy literature is the impact that poverty has on children and families. but, there are many additional factors that contribute to truancy and understanding them assists in developing strategies and programs to address this problem. Research indicates that one caring adult and/or supportive environment can be a key factor for children overcoming tremendous adversity. Schools can be a place where children find caring adults and supportive environments. This qualitative study examined staff perceptions of the impact of an Attendance Incentive Program developed by an Attendance Counsellor in Southern Ontario. The findings of the study showed that Attendance Incentive Programs can, not only be an effective way to address truancy, but also provide positive outcomes. These included greater academic success, student pride, team building among staff and students and positive connections established between the school community and the business community who support the program. A significant matter in question is the sustainability of this particular program as it depends largely upon the efforts of the Attendance Counsellor. A recommendation for continued growth and development of the program includes the soliciting of parent and community volunteers to become involved and take on some of the numerous responsibilities. Although, the findings cannot be generalized to larger school populations they do reveal positive outcomes. Therefore, attendance incentive programs should be considered as an intervention strategy to address truancy.

The bot I'm releasing now is still in BETA version, so I need you to test it to see what's wrong with it, and I'll soon be able to publish fully working version.
Bot will give you some of the following features:
-Reconnect if you get disconnected
-Start GMO without browser
-Timer with lots of features like Warp to maps, Say something, Change speed, etc...
-Chat system - chat with other Snd Bot users
-Advanced Bot types for each of classes
-PVP PK tool (Auto-hold CTRL)
-Built-in Combo bot
-Built-in Nova bot
-Advanced DL mouse movement
-Isolate JEWEL sound
-Drop items
-Repair items
-Pause Bot while chatting in "whisper" mode (normal chat, whisper, guild, party chat...)
edit: rename tablet.exe to xpadder.exe if you are GMO player
Please read "ReadMe.txt" file first! before you post any of your questions. Thank you.
Some of bot's Screen Shots
If you have Vista or Windows7 run the bot as administrator (right click on tablet.exe file and click "run as administrator")
Important notice: Disconnect option requires your password in order to connect to server so USE ON YOUR OWN RISK, I don't want to be blamed for hacking you if you get hacked (which you may by using some other tools, and not Snd.Bot). And if you don't trust me, just don't use that feature.
also, check the virustotal link before you start flaming "my AV say it has virus!!!"History:
beta 1.1: fixed drop items check for empty field (sill works only for window mode), fixed Nova bot delay, fixed time intervals for virtual mode (running game with /v in virtual box), and it will check if the chat window is open before sending text.
beta 1.2: added support to "start mu" button and disconnect option for other servers beside GMO (read bottom of ReadMe.txt file), added ability to set your own color tolerance for pixel detection of items to drop in inventory (change value "DropColorTolerance", section "[Misc]", of the \Data\SndBot2.ini file - if you can't see this key, delete SndBot2.ini file and run bot again, or add key manually), fixed some minor bugs
beta 1.3: added ability for EE to buff AutoParty spot with defense buff, added ability to buff other location instead of PT members location only (for EE), added ability to set delay for pixel detection (for ppl who have lags with detecting pixel colors, read ReadMe.txt file "about Options tab" section for details), fixed bug for not hitting when main skill delay = 0, also added new hotkeys: F4 = it will filter chat (so you see only guild chat, party and whisper - useful for server1 market), F5 = filter off
beta 1.4: You can uncheck/check main afk skill for BK/SM now (if you uncheck all skills and use sm/bk bot type then bot will only send SPACE - useful for CC). You can reposition your inventory with hotkey Shift+F6 (more details in ReadMe.txt), you can setup drop items position with hotkey Shift+F7, you can setup autoparty position with hotkey Shift+F8. Timer input time changed and adjusted to users with 12h system as well. Fixed "pixel detection color lag" for Vista/Windows7, fixed minor bugs (such as position coordinates for DP - EE, color detection tolerance and similar). Also if you have lag while clearing inventory, and then bot "miss" click on item, then edit file \Data\SndBot2.ini, section "Misc", key: "RepairDropClickDelay", "400", bigger number = longer click (and less chance to "skip" click)
beta 1.5: Added ability to double check if you have taken item in hand while dropping (to reduce chance of clicking into map without item, but reduce the speed of dropping item) which can be activated through main ini file (read readme.txt), Added ability to perform skill in between dropping each item, added "infinite" repeat time to timer, faster typing text, added detection of "full server" (has not been tested yet), forcing to run as administrator in vista/windows 7, fixed some minor bugs
beta 1.6: Thanks to LearningDelphi, bot is now able to use regular GetPixel function, so pixel color detection is MUCH faster, and more precise. Added 6th PT member for elf. Can send F6 if someone added u as friend before u drop items. Ignore large mana potions drop. IF main afk skill for SM/BK is 0 then hold mouse instead of click. Chaotic movement for DL. No more window flickering. Instant bot stop (even if mouse is moving). Faster DC detection. You can use reconnect and drop even in fullscreen now.
beta 1.61: Had to make small changed to the previous bot, cuz some parts didn't work properly, now everything is working fine, and I added few stuff like: Capturing mouse (for dynamic bot types to client, and for static bot types to 1 spot) - which can be turned off if u want through ini file, and you can now choose which items u wanna repair (read readme.txt file) - change edit \Data\SndBot2.ini file, "[Misc]" section, key: "Repair items", and remove ones you don't want to be repaired. The numbers stands for: 1-Helm, 2-Wings, 3-Weapon, 4-Armor, 5-Shield, 6-Gloves, 7-Pants, 8-Boots, 9-Pendant, 10-Left Ring, 11-Right Ring (must be separated with ";" example: 1;2;3;5;6;8)
beta 1.62: Another small update, the bot had issues with chatting ingame, if you didn't had bot running, and you started, and finished chat, the bot was stuck on one spot or client area - now it is fixed, and the timer didn't worked. Also added ability to change hotkeys yourself (file: \data\hotkeys.ini), and Bot can now drink HP pots when HP bellow 33% (You can change this in the main INI file). Also waiting time for START GAME on launcher is increased to 5 min, for updates after maintenance
beta 1.7: The issue of having to click F10 again to enable mouse is now fixed. Added new gui window with additional setups in the Options tab > Additional setup. Bot will now check if inventory is opened or closed before continuing with work. You can set the hotkeys to force drop or repair, so you may test if this feature is working properly for you. Bot will remember which items can't be dropped until you stop bot (- until you press F10)
beta 1.72: In the additional setup (options tab) you can now set the bot to switch skill according to your AG. You can set the bot to check if Mu is no longer active window and activate it. Added the ability to visually reduce mouse movements in DL/AE bots on "R" button, and fixed some minor bugs.
beta 1.8: More sound isolations. Fixed mouse bug. You can add more colors to ignore during dropping items. Slightly faster drop (in Vista/Win7 disable AERO for fastest drop). Password can accept more characters. SM skills have interval limit of 9999 seconds now. 0 in timer = infinite. Fixed AE bug (it's now holding mouse). EE will def buff+heal herself after each dropped item.
beta 1.81: You can set the hotkey to detect color of first checked item so you can add it into "non droppable items", you can adjust delay between combos in main ini file (more in ReadMe, BK section), StrID is no longer required if private server, Hotkeys are loaded instantly (not required to reset bot anymore if you change them), added "switch character" to the timer, added "activate: check 4 DC" to the timer, GUI for macro interval, fixed nova+other skills bug, fixed repair bug.
beta 1.82: Different check if inventory is open than before. If it still open 2-3 times and not repairing/dropping then you can disable "detect inventory" in Additional setup (Options tab). DL bot reduce mouse can now be applied for 2 axes separately (x and y). Fixed drop and bk skills bug from previous version.

I currently teach GED classes through Rock Valley College. I truly enjoy this as I get to teach a variety of subjects. My favorite subject is actually math. I know that math is usually the most difficult subject for students. However, I am equally happy to tutor in all of the general high school subjects. I can also help prepare them for the ACT or the SAT.
I have been teaching GED with Rock Valley College for six years now. I have been tutoring for the last four years. I intend to dedicate the rest of my working career in helping students develop a passion for learning. Knowledge is power.

I provide discounts if we have sessions in my office near Alpine and Harrison or if you live in Belvidere. I also provide group discounts.
I have renewed my interest in math after reviewing trigonometry and pre-calculus. I have now reviewed Calculus and I am ready to help students learn it.
I help students learn how to speak, read, and write English. The main focus is to expand their vocabulary and to understand the conecepts of English grammar. I am able to help students with this as I learned a second language myself as an adult in college.

I got tired of burning through cheap cotton hoodies every six months and decided to invest in something that would last. Very pleased so far. It's fits and looks great. I went with black.

I am 6'0 165 with long arms. Med or Large? How is the fit?

I am actually just a little heavier than you and same height. I wear medium in most Patagonia jackets including this sweater and I would recommend a medium for you. It still has plenty of length but the body fits much better on me than large.

I have a new favorite hoodie. This guy is so warm and cozy. Fits really well, I've received tons of compliments. 100% would buy again. I'm 5'8'', avg build, 32 waist and a medium fits me perfectly.

I'm 5'9" 155lbs, 32 in waist. Small or medium?

I'm nearly identical in size, but an inch taller. I'd go for the medium all day long, as it won't be too bulky, but will also not ride up too high during activity.
James Howard
Member since
Definitely go for the medium. You would be entirely unsatisfied with the Small.
Great hoodie!

Great hoodie! It could seem a little expensive until you get it on your hands and see the attention to detail. I am really happy with this one!

My husband is 6'1" and 210 lbs. What size should I get for him? He is usually an XL, however the reviews for the better sweater w/o hoodie all say that it runs big so now i'm not sure...
Wally Phillips
Member since
Hi andrea Stone,
Thanks for the question. You should most likely go with the XL in this case especially if your husband has wider shoulders. I'm 5' 11" 180lbs and the L sizes fit me good despite my shoulders belonging on someone who is 6'1".
Member since
Agree. I am 6'1" 200lbs. The L was just a bit too snug for me.

Brooks County - A landmark Georgia business that helps the construction and timber industries is growing.
The Langboard Company has doubled its yearly production capacity to 440 million square feet of oriented strand board, a kind of wood paneling. The expansion created 15 new jobs and is providing a greater market for regional timberland owners.
Governor Sonny Perdue helped the Langdale family celebrate the expansion Friday in Quitman. "It produces jobs right here in the plant, it also produces jobs for loggers, truck drivers, those people who manage the forests, and the land owners who have the forest products and trees growing, so its a double win here," said Perdue.
Langboard opened in 1988 as the first O.S.B. plant in Georgia. The state now has four O.S.B. plants.

Recently, there's been buzz about eating bugs; a steady flutter of noise about their nutritional value, affordability, and tastiness. One woman in particular, Daniella Martin, is on a mission to re-brand little critters from something that makes us shriek when we see them crawling across the bathroom floor to something that makes us squeal with delight when we see them served on a platter.
Eating insects has been part of Asian and Latin American cultures for centuries, so while the concept isn't a new one, its State-side acceptance might be. You know what else was popular in other countries for millennia before becoming an unstoppable trend in the U.S.? Eating raw fish. Are bugs the new sushi?
If Martin has anything to say about it, then yes. She told AOL News that she makes cupcakes using flour made up of ground crickets and wax worms in stir fry. I can only imagine what ground cricket dust tastes like and I'm thinking it's like a tangy yet musty saw dust. The only significant experience I have with the insect is from second grade when we had terrariums and kept them as pets. The classroom reeked after a week, and Matt Fern threw up on the chalkboard. Not exactly a fond memory, nor one that makes me hungry.
Shockingly, Martin isn't the only bug-eating advocate out there. Rosanna Yau and Dianne Guilfoyle theorize on how to make bugs marketable. They won't necessarily capture the vegetarian market, but might lure in athletes with bug-powder protein supplements, and they're trying to fill in the circle of life by eating the bugs that eat or damage our crops.
I've had chocolate-covered grasshoppers during show and tell and some chili-lime crunchy bug (spider? worm? I don't remember) on a dare once, but I'm not particularly excited by exoskeletons, and unless there's a major shift in our food industry, I don't predict Bug Bistros on every street corner in New York like there are sushi places.
Are you interested in eating bugs, and do you think the trend will take off?

I just threw up in my mouth a bit. *shudders*
That just sounds gross because bugs have guts and that would be a nasty texture in the mouth. :/
Maybe this is an attempt to cover up the fact that processed foods are ALLOWED to contain a certain amount of bug parts since its almost impossible to keep them completely out of manufactured food.
I say go the slow food way .... you're better off.
not a trend I would ever follow !
no thank you..

GPS aren't exactly synonymous with water, until today. Garmin's newest Forerunner, the 310XT boasts all the features you've come to expect from their runner line of GPS watches in addition to waterproofing up to 50 meters. This means that triathletes who transition from the lake to the road can use one device to track their performance and for those who are hitting the bike will enjoy the optional quick release and bike mounts. A 20 hour battery life insures that the 310XT out lasts any competition and Garmin's ANT+ personal area network technology means that you can beam your workout's data to your personal computer for assessment and tracking.
The Garmin 310XT will hit sometime this quarter and will cost $349.99.

WOW splits into levellers and raiders I reckon. Personally I find levelling a bind but I love instances and am a total gear whore (I even have lists, handwritten, of where to find the next upgrade) WotLK will be a strange one for me since I am a post BC player...it will be strange to lose my hard earned purples for greens and blues but since I love stats too, I am sure I will cope

True Wolfy
I kind of included PvPers as end gamers, but you are correct. RP, hmmm, not my thing really, other than the fact that I enjoy fooling around as a happy go lucky gnome rogue, instead of managing a business with carrots and sticks like in real life. No funny voices, I promise!
What will happent to Arena now? Will 70's meet 71-80s? Will there be splits like in BGs but small I hope?
