Idris Ginger Beer - ewwwwww
- AnneInMpls Jun 18, 2008 06:49 PM
I just tried some "Idris fiery ginger beer" that I purchased at a British Imports booth at a recent Scottish fair. What a disappointment! Not only was it not fiery, but it was sweetened with aspartame IN ADDITION TO sugar. Alas, I'm one of those unlucky people who can't stand the taste of aspartame. I can't rinse that awful chemical taste out of my mouth!
Why, oh, why did they add chemical sweeteners to a beverage whose first ingredient is sugar? What were they thinking? Luckily, I only bought one can. Never again!
And, because it wasn't spicy in the slightest, I wanted to post this to warn others who might be tempted by the misleading name.
So now I'm back to my quest for some super-spicy ginger beer for my Moscow Mules. I've tried Reed's "Extra Ginger Brew" - it's wimpy and too sweet for me. I really need to find a place in town that carries Blenheim ginger ale.
Have you tried Goya ginger beer? Its pretty gingery spicy - and if that's not enough, they add a pepper extract to make it extra biting/hot on the tounge. I have found it in about half of the grocery stores in my area.
I'm going off of my faded memory - it's been a while - but if I remember correctly, Bundaberg ginger beer has an intense snappy bite of ginger to it, and I'm pretty sure they sweeten with cane sugar - not corn syrup like Reed's. I actually like (not love) Reed's but mixed with a good rum on a warm summer night. In general, ginger beer and ginger ale are popular in Australia and New Zealand. They can range from somewhat on the tame side to very pungent. I've also seen quite a bit of ginger-based products that originate from Australia - this tells me that ginger is huge Down Under. Maybe you can try some ginger brews from there.
On the Blenheim website, they do list locations where you can get their products in the Minnesota area. I'm glad you brought up this product as I like to down an ice cold hot ginger brew from time to time. According to Blenheim's website, there's a local distributor just a few minutes from my house (Beverage Warehouse in LA) so I'm going today. Thanks, Anne!
re: bulavinaka
I eagerly marched down to Beverage Warehouse (OK, no one marches in LA - Angelenos hop in their car and tool down the driveway just to pick up the newspaper) to pick up the coveted Blenheim ginger ale, and guess what? They only carry the whimpier "Not as Hot" version. Is this one worth getting?
re: babybat
Fentimans has a real bite to it and is botanically brewed and fermented over seven days, which really gives it an interesting taste profile. It does have less than a half percent alcohol due to the fermentation, but it's still considered a soft drink. You have to hunt around for it a bit, but it's worth it.
re: babybat
> Most non-diet soft drinks in the UK are sweetened with sugar rather than HFCS or aspartame ...
Yeah, that's what I thought, but not Idris. I bought the non-diet version, expecting that the sweeteners would be "full-fat" (love that! :-). The can wasn't marked "diet", so I certainly didn't expect aspartame. Bleah!
Oh, well - live and learn.
re: babybat
Babybat You can get FEVER TREE Ginger beer?!?? Around me that's one of the two "lost" fever tree flavors (The other being the lemonade) the ones that none of the stores that carry fever tree stock.
Oh and for those who have acess to one, Chef Central has plentiful supplies of the Fentimans Ginger beer along with the other Fentimans flavors (except for the Shandy and the Dandelion and Burdock, I guess those are too "British" to sell well.
Thanks for the tips! I need to start hunting for a place that sells six-packs of ginger beer. I can get Blenheim's at a few restaurants in town, but I don't want to pay restaurant prices for a bottle to take home. (Still, it's probably cheaper than mail order.)
In the meantime, I've started soaking ginger pieces in vodka for my Moscow Mules. It's quite tasty, but it's not ginger beer...
I agree. I got sucked in by the "Try me if you dare!" and bought two cans. Also who puts sugar AND artificial sweeteners in a soda??? And the ginger content was pathetic about the same as Canada Dry but not as good. Reed's is also crappy.
GOYA is my favorite now followed by Old Tyme which is harder to find anyway. I hear stories about Blenheim, but still haven't tried it.
I'm trying to contact the company what a piece of crap!
I don't know what stores you have in your area but here (NC/USA currently) I pick up ginger beer (other than Goya, and occasionally Reed's, which I buy at the grocery store) at World Market. I go in every three weeks or so and pick up some type of ginger beer, along with my jelly babies, hobnobs, chocolate bars, tea, whatever looks interesting, etc. The reason I like the place is that whenever I go in they usually have different brands of ginger beer in stock (such as Bundaberg, Ginger People, or Fentimans), and occasionally have even more obscure (to me) labels to buy and try. Now if they would just carry spruce beer.
re: blackoak
World Market closed all their stores in Minnesota, so we don't have a source for Bundaberg. A few local places sell Reeds and Ginger People, but I find them both too sweet and not gingery/spicy enough.
I'm still searching for Goya Ginger Beer - it sounds like I'd really like it. But I keep forgetting to look when I'm in a Mexican grocery store. (I've been making my own ginger syrup to tide me over, but even that isn't spicy enough.)
re: AnneInMpls
Bundaberg is the spiciest Ginger Beer that I've found. Trader Joe's used to carry it but no longer does. World Market does but, locally, Reno, NV, only have the diet on a regular basis, the non-diet about every three months so I always stock up when I find it. No other ginger beer comes close.
re: LeftyS7
Just got back from a trip to Australia and fell in love with Bundaberg ginger beer. Is there anywhere to purchase it in the US? I'm in the \Southern California area. Thanks!
The Goya brand is just hot because of the capsicum added. The Fentimans is very good, as is the Fever Tree. Trying to find those brands can be a long search though.
re: MsDiPesto
On the basis of your having listed two (Fentimans, Fever Tree) of the three ginger beers that I consider to be, by far, the three best, I'd say the chances are excellent that we share similar tastes. Therefore may I suggest that you search ceaselessly until you've found a retailer in your area that stocks Bundaberg.
Have literally been around the world looking for great ginger beer, and little was better than what I can get in my own backyard thanks to a Chowhound tip: Bundaberg ginger beer from Austrailia that can be found at Cost Plus World Market for the lowest price and at Bevmo and specialty liquour stores occasionally for quite a bit more.
On a trip to Bevmo to see what the action was, I walked out with every single brand of ginger beer they had and none of them were worth the extra cost compared to Bundaberg, though one of them from Australia was close but not at BevMo's jacked up prices.
Recently had some very good ginger beer in Sri Lanka, Penang Malaysia and on the high seas Indian ocean with Schwepes ginger beer from the ship's bar, that I don't think you can get in the US. It was great and too bad they don't make it available state side.
Ginger beer, and Bundaberg ginger beer is a vastly underappreciated dining quaff.

|Related: RIPPER STREET, BBC America
In the aftermath of Jack the Ripper's reign of terror, London's Whitechapel sits on a precipice, and H Division – the precinct charged with keeping order – must work diligently to police the toughest district in the East End. Welcome to Ripper Street, where fear lurks that each new murder could mark the return of The Ripper. As imitators emerge and feral gangs terrorize, Inspector Edmund Reid – one of the lead detectives on the Ripper case – and his teamare further drawn into the criminal underbelly of Victorian London. And their vigilance must be swift to stop those that threaten the calm of the city. Starring Matthew Macfadyen (Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice), Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones), Adam Rothenberg (Alcatraz) and MyAnna Buring (Downton Abbey, The Twilight Saga) and loosely based on real characters and events, the eight-part BBC AMERICA co-production created by Richard Warlow, premieres Saturday, January 19, 9:00pm ET.
"BBC AMERICA is excited to present this latest quality offering from the BBC," say Perry Simon, General Manager, BBC AMERICA. "Ripper Street is an edge of your seat thrill ride through Victorian London, with a stellar cast and compelling stories that will send chills down the spines of our viewers."
A compelling, zesty crime drama with an international cast, Ripper Street's rich storylines meld with the intrigue of a criminal underworld. Through modern marvels of the time, including early forensic methods, Moving Pictures, the early typewriter and more, the H Division squares off against copycat killers, a mass murderer who unleashes biological toxins, gamblers and counterfeiters. But with a neighborhood stuck at a volatile peak, can anyone bring order to these blood stained streets?
Leading the battle is Inspector Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen), one of the lead investigators in the hunt to capture The Ripper. A detective in the truest sense of the word, Reid's calm and instinctive understanding is what the East End streets need to keep order in turbulent times. Haunted by his failure to capture London's most evil killer, and by demons fiercely protected by him and his long suffering wife, Emily (Amanda Hale), Reid is driven by his belief that, through innovation and technology, the day will come where ignorance will never again stand in his way of apprehending a mass murderer.
Aiding Reid is his right-hand-man, Sergeant Bennet Drake (Jerome Flynn), a brute force of a man whose suit is the only thing that distinguishes him from the thugs he polices. He's loyal and protective of Reid, who believes in him and uses Drake's ferocity to his advantage. Scarred by war and longing for the simple life, Drake knows all too well the kind of ugliness men, including him, are capable of.
Rounding out the trio is Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenberg), a free-spirited American expatriate enlisted by Reid for his forensic brilliance. Reid is a staunch believer in technological innovation as a crime fighting tool and Jackson provides the science to back his beliefs. But his vices are many and his secrets run deep. Jackson's ties to an upmarket brothel-keeper, Long Susan (MyAnna Buring), creates an air of suspicion as to why they both decided to leave America for the lawless East End streets.
The series is created and written by Richard Warlow, showrunner and writer of the BBC One drama, Mistresses. Richard began as a Development Executive at Pathe and DNA Films before embarking on a career as a screenwriter in 2003.
Ripper Street is the latest co-production to join BBC AMERICA's stable of compelling programming including the award-winning Dramaville series The Hour, Luther and the upcoming mini-series, Spies of Warsaw.

Transfer Window: Possible arrivals at Old Trafford?
After reading the stories about Dimitar Berbatov's potential move to Germany, I get the feeling that Fergie may be thinking about raising some money to spend this January.
Of course, Sir Alex will never let us know what he's up to, but with Darron Gibson already moving on, it looks like there's a chance of seeing some new faces at Old Trafford by the end of the month.
Gibson has made the right move by getting out of Manchester. Lets face it, it was never going to happen for him at United. Just like Kieran Richardson, he was given his chance, but never seemed to reach the level that's required at Old Trafford. He was never going to become a regular in the first-team, so it was only right that he looked for a move elsewhere. I'd expect Gibbo to do well at Everton. On a good day, he's a decent passer, and we all know about his rasping shots. It's a good move for him.
As for Berbatov, I'm a little surprised that he may be leaving.
After an excellent run of form in December, it seemed that the Bulgarian had turned his season around. During his three and a half years at the club, he's had plenty of highs and lows. After a difficult start, he's managed to win over SOME of the United fans, showing us his skills (his amazing first-touch) and scoring on a more consistent basis.
With his recent good form and all the talk of a new contract, why, all of a sudden, is he heading to Germany for "talks" with Bayer Leverkusen? Maybe Ferguson reckons he'll get more money if he sells an in-form striker? However, if the papers are accurate (which they usually aren't) the transfer fee is looking to be around £8 Million. Considering Berbatov is 31 at the end of the month, you might think that's a good deal. However, I reckon that fee could go up, that is, if the move goes ahead.
That would leave United with roughly £10-£12 Million raised in January (Possibly up to £14 if Ravel Morrison doesn't get his act together). If that's the case, surely Alex Ferguson will have funds to sign at least one player during the transfer window?
The question is: Who can he sign?
Personally, I think a central defender is a priority. Defensively, there was good and bad during United's 3-0 win over Bolton on Saturday. Jonny Evans performed very well, completely taking Davin N'Gog out of the game. However, if i'm honest, Rio Ferdinand really looked past it. It's clear to see his pace is going. Mark Davies got past him with ease during the second half, and it seems to be a reoccurring feature of his game these days.
With Nemanja Vidic out for the rest of the season and Phil Jones looking better in midfield, a centre-half is vital if United are to claim their 20th league title. With Gary Cahill sealing his move to Chelsea earlier today, any lingering hope of getting his signature has been put to bed.
Some have suggested Chris Samba from Blackburn, however, I don't think that would work. There doesn't seem to be many realistic defensive targets in the Premier League. Jan Vertonghen of Ajax has been mentioned. I must admit, I don't know an awful lot about the lad, but from what I've watched on Youtube, he looks quite good. Mat Hummels (Borussia Dortmund) is the man I'd like to see at Old Trafford, however, i'd say it'll be the Summer before that could become a possibility.
As for the midfield, it's easy to think of the quick-fix. Signing a Sneijder or a Modric would keep the fans happy, but Ferguson is thinking beyond that. It's much like the time David Beckham left for Real Madrid. Fergie took a few years to rebuild his side, investing in Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, rather than buying proven 26-27 year olds. I have a feeling he's going to approach this (and the summer) transfer window with the same thing in mind.
Sparky, Thierry and St Ledger(y) - The Headlines 10/01/12
I'm going to ease my way back into blogging, so it's just my take on the football headlines for today
Mark Hughes returns to management with Queens Park Rangers
First of all, I'm really surprised that Neil Warnock was shown the door at Loftus Road. Although he's not the most popular figure in the game, Warnock should've been given more time to turn things around. Judging by his comments today, it seems that he thinks the same.
Now, I know the R's haven't won in eight, but I find it unusual they didn't address the issue before giving Warnock his marching orders. My God, the man that brought Rangers back to the top level, hasn't even had a season to structure a team that can cope with the demands of the Premier League.
As for Hughes, I'm not shocked that he was appointed the new boss. I'm sure he was keeping an eye out for potential sackings, ready to pounce when a half decent job came along. It looks like he needs to prove himself after his less-than-successful period with Fulham ended last June.
I think it's important that Sparky doesn't become a bit of a journeyman around the Premier League. QPR will be his fourth shot at management in the English top-flight and to be honest, he hasn't had a whole lot to show for it (well, in the line of silverware anyways)
Hughes needs to be clever in the transfer window. Rather than spending big on marquee signings, he needs to build a solid foundation and get a settled XI. Survival is his first objective. If he fails to succeed at that, he could be shown the door by May.
Thierry Henry second coming exceeds all expections
It was like something from a Hollywood movie! As an Irish football fan, it's hard to like "Le Cheat". However, it's impossible not to appreciate the natural talent that Henry possesses.
He might be slower and heavier, but the way he took his chance last night was just like the Henry of old. He definitely still has the touch, while adding a fantastic beard that makes him look about 45.
That's all the compliments I'm giving him. Although, I had to laugh at some people on Twitter last night. I seen some very angry comments directed towards Irish Arsenal fans for welcoming Henry back to the Emirates.
Personally, I don't have a problem with this. I support Manchester United, and if it had been Patrice Evra that had been involved in the "hand of frog" incident, yes, I would have been fuming, but what would I do? Boo Evra each time he played for my club? Of course not! That's the job of those who support other clubs. (In fact, I still blame Paul McShane for the whole thing! Clear the ball you clown)
Sean St Ledger makes massive move to…………Ipswich?!
What? Is he just not good enough to play in the Premier League?
As an International, I think he's fairly solid. Maybe it's "The Iron Curtain" Richard Dunne that compliments him, but I thought he'd have made a move to the 'big-time' at this stage. I'm sure some of you will disagree with me, but he is definitely in my starting XI for Ireland at Euro 2012. Who else have we got?
It seems that a falling-out with Leicester boss Nigel Pearson was the reason for St Ledger's exit. It's believed that a number of bids came in for the Irish defender, but he set his sights on Portman Road. I wonder did he like the idea of working with Paul Jewell? The Ipswich boss is well respected in the English game, and could definitely lead the Tractor Boys to promotion if given a bit of time.
St Ledger better hope he's made the right move, because at 27, he's in the prime of his career and won't want to waste it at a club that's going nowhere.
I WANT YOUR OPINION: Name your Republic of Ireland 23 man-squad for EURO 2012

Thanks for reading!
Hey all!
I have been putting this off for some time now, but I've finally decided to bring back my blog. For anybody that has been following me on twitter for a few years, you may remember my daily posts during the 2010 World Cup. (I'm pictured above, sporting a lovely red hoodie in the Nou Camp)
Basically, I was just giving my opinion on the games and the star performers of the tournament. (Here's an old sample if you're interested)
As a New Year's Resolution, I have planned to write daily pieces on what I find interesting in the football (and sporting) World.
Hopefully this is something you'll find interesting, and make sure you comment on what I write. (good or bad!)
Stay tuned. First piece goes up tomorrow evening……..

Once again, the New York Times has published an article calling for a carbon tax, and not a little baby one either: This would be a carbon tax with teeth:
Early studies by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that a carbon tax of up to $80 per metric ton of emissions — a tax that might raise gasoline prices by 70 cents a gallon — would eventually result in climate stability. But because recent estimates about global warming have become more pessimistic, stabilization may require a much higher tax. How hard would it be to live with a tax of, say, $300 a ton?
If such a tax were phased in, the prices of goods would rise gradually in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide their production or use entailed. The price of gasoline, for example, would slowly rise by somewhat less than $3 a gallon. Motorists in many countries already pay that much more than Americans do, and they seem to have adapted by driving substantially more efficient vehicles.
And this particular carbon taxer doesn't even pretend to revenue neutrality, or to reducing other taxes that might stimulate the economy:
A carbon tax would also serve two other goals. First, it would help balance future budgets. Tens of millions of Americans are set to retire in the next decades, and, as a result, many budget experts agree that federal budgets simply can't be balanced with spending cuts alone. We'll also need substantial additional revenue, most of which could be generated by a carbon tax.
So let us, once again, review why a carbon tax is a bad idea:
1) Taxes on carbon are not simply taxes on consumption, they're a tax on production as well, since energy is a primary input to production (and is a growing share because of increasing automation). Taxing both production and consumption seems like a poor way to stimulate your economy, reduce your costs of production, or make your exports more competitive.
2) Carbon taxes are regressive. Poorer people spend a higher portion of their household budget on energy than do the better off. If you were to posit redistributing the tax to the poor, you could deal with this, but if your tax is just a new revenue stream for government (which it will become sooner or later regardless of the initial design), higher energy costs and higher costs for goods and services are going to slap the lower-end of the income spectrum hard.
3) Taxing carbon gets you virtually no climate or health benefit unless it exists within some binding, international carbon control regime, which is unlikely to occur – even the author of the NYT article acknowledges this. China and India will dominate global carbon emissions for the next century, while emissions in the U.S. and developed world are already level or in brisk decline. And, global negotiations over carbon controls have become an utter farce in which developing countries go fishing for wealth and intellectual property transfers, while developed countries mouth platitudes and make promises they have little intention of keeping.
4) Carbon taxes engender industry and capital flight, and become highly contentious. As for the idea of border adjustments, some argue that such adjustments would violate international trade accords and would be hard to deal with given current international institutions. Others argue that even if you could implement them, border adjustments aren't useful.
5) Carbon taxes are really quite disingenuous, as we know that there's likely to be no climate-related or carbon-impact-related benefit. Why not be honest and just call for a VAT tax? How about some transparency? Why not just say, "we think you're consuming too much, and are going to tax you until you stop?"
6) Carbon taxes would put a share (potentially a large share) of the U.S. tax system under the influence of bureaucrat-scientists at the U.N., who gin up more and more scary scenarios in order to justify their existence. Climate scare-mongering by the IPCC is a one-way ratchet: things are always "worse than we projected." You can guarantee that there would be steady pressure to tax carbon at ever-higher rates (and transfer some of that booty to developing countries!) every time a new report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change comes out. Get ready to hear "the consensus of scientists now feels the carbon tax is too low" every few years. Do we really want "the science" of climate change as developed by the United Nations and interpreted by the EPA setting our tax rates?
7) As we already have a vast array of regulations which are aimed at reducing carbon emissions, new carbon taxes would represent double-taxation. You're already paying carbon taxes in the additional costs of new vehicles with higher fuel emission standards, more expensive appliances that aim to conserve energy, renewable energy standards that raise your cost of electricity, etc. Nobody in the environmental movement is talking about trading these rules and regulations for a carbon tax.
For the record, I'm a "lukewarmer" (as best described at the tail end of this recent article), and I've written (since 1998) that some resilience building actions would be wise in the face of climate risk, but a carbon tax? Carbon taxes may look good as an abstract exercise in economics, but in the real world, like other eco-taxes, they would quickly morph into just another form of taxation that feeds the ever-hungry maw of big government.

The Wrap Up: Has the 'Ant-Man' Villain Been Revealed? Plus 'Avengers' and 'Star Wars' Rumors
ScreenCrush wraps up the latest in movies and TV you might have missed. Today, the 'Ant-Man' villain is reportedly revealed, the "worst movie of all time" gets dissected, and Disney has made major changes to 'Into the Woods.'
FEATURED: Joblo released a whole bunch of details on 'Ant-Man,' 'Avengers 2′ and 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' including the identity of the villain plaguing the size-shrinking Marvel hero:
The main villain's name is Darren Cross who, in the comics, runs Cross Technological Enterprises, a competitor company for Stark Industries and Oscorp. His cousin is the villain known as Crossfire.
Plus, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider reports:
I'm told Corey Stoll is playing ANT-MAN villain Darren Cross & Patrick Wilson is playing his cousin, who may or may not become Crossfire.

Beanies make me happy
Queens I've met
Also seen Manila Luzon, Pandora Boxx, Sharon Needles, and Raja but didn't get a picture
yay slow progress!
Bed time
New glasses! :D
Matching tattoos with the bestie!
Arrows mean protection
Crossed arrows mean friendship
We each chose one of the two
"Keep moving forward, for you will always find protection in my friendship."
It's a Revolutionary friendship.
Liked my outfit tonight
Hi everybody!
labor day :p
To squash all rumors that I've been abducted and replaced with someone that was alive during the Reagan years
Working out is doing me some good I like to think

The Hallway Full Monty
We're back with pics of our hallway that we "wallpapered with frames" for lack of a better description. We think it created some pretty quick dimension and interest that's sure to be fun for the whole family. Literally. We love that we can work in drawings by Clara, class pictures, and photos of favorite vacations for the whole family to enjoy.
As for how we did it, you saw how I cut out little newspaper templates for all of the frames that we already owned (we actually had a lot of them from various arrangements in our first house, seen here, and even had a few unused ones snagged on sale a while back that were begging for some action). So we just taped up all of our pre-cut templates with a few of the larger ones staggered in the middle (to ground things) and built things out from there, placing most of the smaller frames around the perimeter for some subtle balance. We shifted things around a little, stepped back, went back in and moved stuff around, and stepped back to look at everything again. This happened about ten times with smaller and smaller tweaks until we decided we liked it. But we still wanted to sleep on it and study it one more time the next morning before breaking out the hammer (hence this post about that first phase of the project).
Yesterday we mentioned that The Washington Post scooped us by sharing this shot of our frame-riddled hallway here:
We try to stay as real-time as possible, but we also like to take a ton of after pics and write a big wordy post for ya, so it can take a few days from project completion to post publishing. If only we had a live camera feed going 24/7. Just kidding, my nightmare is to get caught picking a wedgie on camera. It's why I never auditioned for the Real World (side tangent: John actually sent in an audition tape once when he was 19).
Anyway, so when we woke up the next day and agreed that we still liked the proposed frame placement, it was time to lay out all of our frames on the floor of the dining room in the same arrangement, just to check if some of the actual frames conflicted (since all we were looking at on the wall were their outlines and not their actual styles). Of course we ignored the art since most of it would be switched out anyway.
The frames all looked just fine together, so we decided to bite the bullet and grab the hammer. It was hangin' time (here's where a lot of MC Hammer was sung). Since our newspaper templates were still up on the wall, it was actually really easy to hang stuff. We just measured how far down from the edge of the frame that our wire, hook, or other hanging device was and just marked a centered "x" right on each template (the horizontal line is the measured center of the template, and the x below it is the spot where the nail should actually go to catch the wire or hook so the frame hangs in the right place).
Then we just hammered directly into the "x" in the template…
… and pulled the template off the wall to reveal a lone nail waiting for a frame (even though it looks like a jacked up hole, that's just a tiny bit of paper caught above the nail that we easily removed with a finger flick).
We slowly worked our way around the wall using this method. It probably took an hour or so.
Sadly our old plaster walls don't work with 3M Command hooks or velcro alone (since that's always an easy way to create a frame collage without making any holes) but we do plan to add heavy duty Command velcro to the lower frames that may be within Clara's reach when she starts toddling around. She's a pretty docile girl who definitely seems to listen when we ask her to be gentle (when petting Burger for example) so our plan is to sweetly request that she be nice to the frames and "look with her eyes" and we might even try the "you can only touch them with one finger" technique that an awesome varsity mom shared with us a few days ago (she said it actually works!). But of course if we think those few low frames ever start to pose a safety hazard, or even just become too high maintenance for the way we live, we'll definitely just get rid of them until the bean is a little older. Clara first!
But back to our process. After following our templates and hanging every frame we stepped back for a little look-see and frowned. Somehow they seemed a little tighter in the top right corner (which we actually really liked) and a bit too loosey goosey everywhere else…
… so we adjusted some of the frames on the left and added in a few little "filler" items to get the same full look that we had on the top right corner going on everywhere else.
So yes, there are probably ten extra holes in the walls hiding behind those frames from fine tuning them an inch one way or the other. Our bad. But they're all out of sight so we're at peace with it. They can just be our little secret. Oops, I just told The Interweb.
Once everything was hung we scavenger hunted the house to find things to display (since many of the existing items in the frames were horizontal images that were now hanging vertically or the frames were completely empty to begin with since we hadn't used a few of them yet). Which puts the cost of the entire frame wall plus all of the "art" that you see (since that was also already owned) at 100% f-r-e-e. Except for this cool $16 frame from Target that we splurged on because we adored it's "special capabilities" to store and easily showcase lots of kid art. We love that we don't have to take it off the walls to change things out. Come on Clara, don't you feel like drawing mommy a picture or two?
So this is our current arrangement with all of the just-for-now stuff that we found around the house. First here's the view from the kitchen (which is why we placed the console table there, so it looks centered through the doorway:
And here are a bunch of other angles:
From an old Banana Republic ad with a llama (or is it an alpaca?) carrying sweaters…
… to a vintage milk cap that we found at our first house glued to a small square canvas…
….and a white paper key that I cut out of card stock (which I hope to replace with a DIYed ceramic-looking one)…
… it's definitely a smorgasbord. And there are probably way too many photostrips, but they'll do for now.
We're actually planning a post later with more detailed shots of various items and directions for making your own stuff, like an arrowhead shadowbox for example. Or a long skinny wooden pinboard (still have to make that, for now we have a placeholder piece of card stock with a photostrip taped to it). We also thought it would be fun to take a picture of the wall every few months just to see what comes and goes (new Clara art? updated family pics?) and what always stays (the sketch of our first house's lot? a favorite photobooth strip of the whole fam?).
We anticipate that at least 25% of the wall will be changing pretty regularly as new things steal our hearts – like a particularly good (or bad) fortune cookie fortune and Will Bower's first birthday invitation. You know, the important stuff. We definitely feel like this gallery will be the most personal, eclectic, and fun display spot in the house. So while I've already asked for some awesome art prints for my birthday (which is this Saturday- woot!) we also want to frame everyday objects that hold meaning to us. From Clara scribbles to little love notes and even particularly funny greeting cards with chihuahuas on the front.
In short: We are so in love with the whole hallway frame gallery. It took a spot that was just a way to get from A to B and made it feel like a bonafide destination. We both keep finding ourselves being drawn to that wall like magnets, just standing there gazing at all the frames. Even Clara loves to stare at it. Ah gallery wall. How can you make us so happy? We're nerds.
And surprise. We're so enamored that we're planning to "wallpaper" the other two walls on the other side of the hallway with frames too.
Here's the pile that we grabbed from Ikea (feast your eyes on that pretty shattered fireplace tile).
Should be good times.

Thanks for the inspiration – we just finished putting up the frames for our gallery wall – the template and nail tip was killer!! If you have time and want a peak see here – http://tinyurl.com/3mdkpfs.
I love the color of the wall paired with the white frames. What paint color did you use?
This post inspired me to do something similiar! :-) It's on alot smaller scale, but I really liked how it took a large collection of smaller things and made into one gallery.
Do you happen to know which Ikea frames you buy? I always end up with the Ribba I think. Are there other good white ones there? thanks!!
What is written above the framed set of 3 photo strips??? Did you write that to fill the opening in the frame?
I'm currently working on a wall like this in my own house because I love yours! Any advice on how to matte the photos cheaply? Buying matte can be so pricey!
Hi Sherry,
Nice Photowall. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into creating that, well done. I am a photo wall lover as well and have a very large one in my lounge room with hundreds of photos of family & friends. I know it can be a daunting task to get started. These links might be helpful to your readers who are thinking about creating their own photowall.
For the firs timer here are 7 things to think about
And for those looking for s simple way to create a photo wall at home
I hope they are helpful!
Question: What size is your three-photostrip-frame? I also have three photostrips and I am tired of worrying about damage- I WANT A FRAME :)
Thank you!
J&S, HELP! I purchased a ton of Ribba frames to do wall gallery in our bedroom and when I went to hang the largest frame in the center I realized that the frame dangles. It does not sit directly on the wall. I can't tell from your pics if you had the same outcome? Is it just me? Particularly with the large square frame. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much John!!! Truly appreciate you guys taking time to answer our questions!! Here's to hoping our wall gallery comes out as nicely as you all's! Thanks again!
Just wondering what the map with pushpins in it stands for. Places you've been? I looked around but didn't happen to notice anything about that one.
Thanks. :)
That's great! I love that idea since as a military family, we're always on the move or traveling.
Thanks for the response. :)
You guys are awesome. My wife and I love your blog and this week decided to try your hallway idea. Looks great thanks to you guys… http://monicaburns83.blogspot.com/2011/12/wall-of-frames.html
Love love and love!! You guys got me going ( husband not happy lol) I got my first gallery wall up in my family room .. Except that I hate hanging ribba frames gggggrrrrr they get me another kind of 'hot and bothered'. Do you have another Trick or trip for me. Some have wires( not so bad ) some have that thingy giggly that does help me because it so far in the frame that the nails don't really reach properly etc. is there something else I could be doing ? Thanks a bunch. Love reading your blog. Makes me happy. Xx
Hi…so love your wall! Is there any rule of thumb on where gallery walls go? I've heard master bedrooms are out (would love one in there anyway!), but what about living rooms vs family rooms? Can't wait to get started!
LOL @ thenester.com 's new post: I have no excuses to be afraid of a eensy weesnsy wittle tiny itsy bitsy nailhole or 83 and I have zero regret for making so many holes to visually see my gallery wall even though yes, I know Young House Love is brilliant and makes a template for their walls because they are smarter than I am patient and pin holes don't bother me.
I love it!
Just curious – do you have problems with the pictures shifting, getting crooked, etc? I take tiny pea-sized pieces of poster putty and put on the back of the bottom corners of the frames and press to the wall. So far, this has worked great…even on walls with doors that get slammed all the time.
Love your gallery. I was wondering about white matting….are all of your mats & frames the same white color? I have a couple of glossy b/w photos and the white mats looked really stark. Wondered if there was some other trick. Also do you have thoughts about the use of white vs. black frames? Thank you
Thank you. I will stop being so fussy. Ha.
I'm always trying to 'pin' pics from your posts to Pinterest, but every time it tells me there are no large images found. Do you guys know if there's a better way to do it? I wanna pin ya! :)
loved the artwork but love the updated frames even more! i especially like how it drops over the side of the table. many of the ones i have seen stop where the table top would be.
You've inspired me to create a wall collage of frames! I've been procrastinating on what do to with the biggest wall in my living room, but after seeing your blog and how you went about creating a collage, I went to Ikea and bought a bunch of frames, cut paper templates and today I'm going to start taping them up!
I finished it! It's based on the design you posted from Ikea. :)
wow these are so lovely….I wish to do the same in my home….but dread shopping for frames. :)
How did you decide how many frames and the sizes? I'd love to do this but I'm sure I'd end up going back to IKEA 5x in order to get it "right".
Thanks for the amazing inspiration as usual! Here's how our attempt at a collage wall turned out: http://graceadkins.blogspot.com/2012/01/dining-room-collage-wall-by-jad-and.html
Hi Guys,
I came across your site by chance. I was looking for pinata ideas for my twin daughters 1st birthday and wella clicked on your pull-string pinata. My 3 girls were napping when I first started exploring your blog. Now some 2 hours later I have 1 8 month old on my lap and the other 8 month old and 28 month old still napping. I just like to say how much I have enjoyed reading your blog. I live in Melbourne, Australia and my husband and I are renovating our 1st house which we purchased in 2008. Renos have slowed a little since having our girls, but it's just nice to read about other young couples doing the same.
WOW! this is just amazing and breathtaking! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! And what great tips!! I love white picture frames and have such a hard time finding them! Our closest IKEA is 3 hours away :-( boo. Did you buy all those frames? Or have they been collecte over the years? I was thinking of painting all of my frames white…any tips? Can i use regular house paint? Thanks for reading!
Love your photo display in hallway. I have 3 daughter's 16×20 wedding photos in my hallway in very traditional gold fancy frames. Love my daughters – tired of these 3 LARGE photos. Anyway to update? Would like it to be more modern but of course hate to throw away the frames. Any suggestions, or should I just remove pics and give back to daughters :)? Then I could start from scratch with my many pics of grandkids . . . Thanks for any help.
Love the hallway gallery. I'd love to do the same b/c I love photos/artwork. Our hallway is about half the width of yours with small hallways to bedrooms coming off of it – sort of "C" shaped. Do you think it would feel to cluttered to cover all of the walls? Thanks so much!
What color are the walls and trim? Thanks!
Love the wall! I did something similar on a living room wall a few years back, but with funky wooden frames. We live in a ranch now with a long hallway and I was thinking of doing it there too, but it's more narrow than y'alls…like basically enough room for walking through- no furniture. I was worried that frame collages on both sides of the wall might be a bit clausterphobic, but it looks a little odd with frames on one side and nothing on the other… thoughts?
Do you use all the same style of white frames or do you mix it up a little but keep the colour consistent to tie it all together?
I know this post is super old but I've been searching for ideas for a gallery wall centered around a 20″x30″ canvas photo! We have a very long wall (13′) that I'm working on and I'm having HUGE issues!! The room needs color so I ws trying to incorporate a small shelf or 2 for colorful things but I still want it clean/simple. any thoughts???
What is the wall color?
Haha, I was going to apologize for commenting so long after the post date, but I just saw the date of the last comment. I just wanted to say that the wall color & frame/mat choice is really genius. I was having a conversation with my SO about doing our own gallery wall, we've been disagreeing about whether to go less cluttered vs. more. Whenever I think of gallery walls, I think of this post. I decided to reread this post and I realized that because the wall color and frame colors are so similar, it tricks the eye into seeing the arrangement as more "open" than it actually is. Not sure if anyone has pointed that out yet but I figured I'd drop by and say thanks! I love your blog.
how do you hang your ribba frames? do you use the wire that is attached or do you just use the actual frame to hold them up? I have a bunch and they ALWAYS look crooked! :(
Greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. Truly inspiring. Just found your blog. I'm addicted. Y'all comin' over to decorate my house? Great! See you soon ;)
hi – sorry to ask a question about a post from 2011 lol. i just saw a write up on young house love in BHG and now i'm hooked! great stuff. can i ask what is the grey color in the Hallway (full monty)? i searched a bit and couldn't find it. thanks!
Inspiring and stunning.
PS My wife and I used IKEA frames for our gallery wall as well. (Tons cheaper).
Where did you get your map from and what size is it?
Thanks !
Hi Sherry & John, I love your wall, just beautiful & great tutorial!!! I just wanted to let you know I shared your wall on my blog as a part of my Top 10 BM colors. I hope that is ok:).
Have a wonderful day!
Hey! I loooooveee this frame wall idea and we are trying to do it in our home right now. I keep going back to all these posts to get inspiration. We have a few items we would love to put in a shadowbox – most need the extra space.
Are the shadowboxes you used for the arrowhead and other smaller things still available at Ikea? I didn't see small ones last time I was there. I picked up one shadowbox frame that was $9.99 from Ikea but was a little bigger (maybe 9″X9″). I'm just looking for slightly smaller ones.
Also, where did you find taller skinny frames? One of the things we wanted to framer were our college tassels – we met at school and we thoght they would look cute in a white tall shadowbox with a white background.
LOVE THIS BLOG!! I have gotten so much inspiration from you guys!

Alert soldiers pull out drowning man from Hooghly
Four alert soldiers saved the life of a drowning man from river Hooghly in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, an official said Tuesday.
The soldiers, on duty at a mooring station of the army's 'Inland Water Transport' operational unit of engineers near Dakshineswar in the district, noticed the drowning man feebly shouting for help in the fast flowing river Sunday.
The man, who later identified himself as Nagesh Singh from Barrackpore, had fallen off the bailey bridge near Dakshineswar temple, a defence spokesman said.
At first the soldiers - NCOs Naik U.B. Jadhav, Naik P.J. Kadam, Lance Havaldar B.R. Patil and Sapper Vipin Kumar - tried to rescue him with the help of a boat hook that eventually gave away due to strong currents.
The four then launched a survey boat anchored nearby, manoeuvred the craft against the high tide currents, and managed to grab the drowning man who had all but given up hope.
Having swallowed a great amount of water after failing to hold onto the lifeline in a few earlier attempts, the man was then pulled ashore nearly unconscious by the soldiers and revived.

The Wii U is still the cheapest so Nintendo doesn't need to do a price drop, but it would be great. I'm a PlayStation guy but Sony has been doing f*** all this entire first year, the only thing that will wake that company the heck up is a big-time butt whipping this holiday from MS and Nintendo. I hope it happens but the hype train for PS4 has so far been able to steamroll the other two and give the PS4 undeserved sales. I bought into it as well, which will never happen again, I waited nearly a year on the PS3 and probably should've done the same or gone longer waiting for PS4.

I was looking forward to this game, now it's starting to look like DriveClub part 2, that's not a good thing.
I'm baffled by the PS4's success at this point and I'm a PlayStation guy. The system has literally nothing going for it though. Both the Wii U and X1 have better exclusives and the price advantage is gone, PS4 has the best hardware but why would somebody in the new market give a f*ck about that when there's nothing to play that can't be found on other consoles? MS shot itself in the foot with stupidity before this gen started so there's that but there's no reason Wii U shouldn't be outpacing PS4.
I think it's better than Brawl. Finally was able to get a copy of the game a couple days ago and have been hooked. I like it almost as much as I did Melee. Melee is still the best in the series for me, but this is a close second.
Might as well just start selling the franchises now.
Phoenix Wright Trilogy and Shantae if I can work both games into my holiday budget.
I've limited my pre-orders this gen, much more so than last, that's for sure. I still have a lot but it's not out of hand, last gen I was doing what you said you were doing recently, games on 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP I'd pre-order anything even if I was only semi-interested. That's not happening anymore. Big first party games like Halo, Uncharted, Zelda, MLB The Show, Forza, Gears or Mario? Those are instant pre-orders, third party games I'm getting more picky. I want to play GTA V on PS4 so I'm getting that, Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain is a no-brainer and this year's CoD actually seems interesting so I've got that. I also have Far Cry 4 pre-ordered because 3 was excellent but after that, I'm a$$hurt enough about what has just happened with the PS4 version of AC Unity, and the way they're crapping on Nintendo fans, that I won't buy another Ubisoft game after that unless I start seeing some big changes from that company. A new leader that isn't a complete corporate tool would be a nice step in the right direction, but that won't happen.
I'm starting to see stuff from Ubi, just like I saw from EA and Capcom and recently Square, that I just don't like. At this point, the only games I think I can get behind anymore are the first party published ones. You know Bloodborne won't be held back by corporate people accepting MS' $$$ because it's Sony that's funding the project. For a game like Scalebound, Platinum only has to worry about making it for the Xbox One so even if it can't hit 1080p or 60 frames per second, at least we know the game is going to be optimized to the best of the development team's ability. Almost any game Nintendo publishes I don't worry about. But these third party multiplat games, I'm seeing a lot of stuff that bothers me. And MS' idiotic and irresponsible spending on certain things, and silly corporate jerks' willingness to accept that money is getting way out of hand. What really bugs me is it's getting to a point where I'm taking a stand but it's going to mean missing some games I really want to play. I wish these imbeciles would wake up but they won't and they don't have to as long as there are millions of idiots who will lineup outside Gamestop or Walmart for the next Assassin's Creed just because it says Assassin's Creed on the box.
'Cheating the fans' instantly became a crock when that one dumba$$ admitted they held back the PS4 version to avoid debates that have always taken place throughout the history of this industry (again we all know the real reason but it what it is I guess). Ubiscum doesn't give a flying f**k about the fans, least of all on Nintendo consoles, that for sure. A few months ago the company announced Watch_Dogs was the last mature rated game it would publish on Wii U. Discussion from Ubiscum regarding the Wii U should've stopped there. Lame quotes like the ones given in this article don't help matters. The company-wide gag order needs to be issued today.
Yes, after the news that the PS4 version of AC Unity has been scaled back to 'avoid debates and stuff,' (we all know MS slipped 'em some $$$) I'd say stop talking is the best advice that could be given out to everybody at Ubisum right now. In fact, if anybody working there has a single functioning brain cell, a company wide gag order would be enforced today. Regardless, between this bs, and the bs going on with the PS4 version, there's really no reason to hope for any success for Ubiscum unless you're an Xbox fanboy. Since that isn't me, I can say I'd have no problem seeing this game fail. It won't of course, but I've cancelled my pre-order, I'll put the money saved towards a game from a company that cares about delivering quality.
This is why I like the trio of websites here. None of them just mindlessly hand out 9s and 10s to every game first parties are involved based on name alone. It seems like the game is fun to play so I'm looking forward to checking it out at some point.
Exactly my thoughts. It's a nice little promotion for the fans, yet you get some clowns who of course have to go and try to ruin things. The people who actually pay for these are the ones who annoy me more than the ones putting them up on E-Bay though. I mean, I love the Smash series but I would never pay for a demo, especially when it's going to be available one week later.
I've been playing the heck out of the demo. Wasn't completely sold before because I was worried about how it would control. But the game looks great, runs great and plays just like I'd expect. Pre-ordering for sure since my local game stores tend to get very few initial shipments of 3DS games and I don't want to have to wait too long to play what will surely be Nintendo's next masterpiece.
Yup, I completely understand this view point because as much as I want to play it, I'm doing the same thing in regards to Rise of the Tomb Raider. I have an X1 and think it's a great console and I don't blame MS for trying to get exclusives or timed-exclusives but for SquareEnix to shaft the fanbase that bought more copies of the TR reboot on both PS3 and then PS4? That's bullcrap. Here, Revelations started and sold best on 3DS, so there is literally no justification for Nintendo gamers to miss out.
I could barely understand the REmake remastered decision, this one makes literally no sense.
Nice bundles across the board this holiday season. The one thing I like, as a collector, is that Sony with the Destiny bundle and obviously Nintendo provide physical copies of games. I was kind of disappointed the X1 Madden bundle only had a digital code and apparently it's the same for Sunset Overdrive and CoD bundles but still better than nothing.
If Capcom is in as deep sh*t as everybody says then they probably need help with funding bigger projects (like MS helped with Dead Rising 3). If that's the case, I don't care which of the big 3 funds the project as long as Resident Evil Revelations 2 turns out to be legit because I loved the first and would love a sequel. But if MS is funding it and it turns out to be 360 but not Xbox One that will be an incredibly infuriating decision. The 360 has a huge userbase so fine, put it on that and I have a 360, I could buy it, but it would seem utterly pointless to leave out the new console.
Stating facts, backed up by numbers, does not equal 'bashing fans.'
Revelations bombed on pretty much every console. There's no excuse for this not being on Wii U as it's just a slight upgrade of an over-decade old game.
The Halo Collection is a little different because even with Halo 3 and 4 in there, 3 is already close to 7 years old and 4 adds value to an already nice collection. To me if Sony really wants to 'welcome back' people who skipped PS3, I'd say an Uncharted Collection with all 3 games remastered would be a better way of doing that. Much more value there and the third Uncharted came out in 2011 so while recent it's not like it was just one summer ago either.
I like Tekken but the series has been hit and miss the last couple gens, so kind of hard to get too hyped, especially since the trailer isn't that great. Platforms, an estimated release and a better trailer, and I'll start looking more forward to this one.
I honestly believe the people in charge of the PlayStation Division have completely lost their damn minds. First you have this clown Yoshida constantly kissing Nintendo's a$$ (which is fine if he likes Nintendo but you work for Sony, how about providing people who bought your console games rather than constantly praising the competition?), saying he doesn't understand people who want to play AAA games on their $400 machine rather than indies and remakes and you have Andrew House and others saying Xbox 360 owners, and now apparently Wii owners, are coming back to PS? Unless they want to show their research that proves these statements (and they won't show it) than I look at this as nothing more than justify the constant remakes because there is nothing else. Nintendo's entire first year of Wii U pissed me off as well but at least Nintendo didn't bs the hell out of people, Iwata admitted that it was tougher to make the transition to HD than the company anticipated. Still a weak excuse if you ask me because after 2010 the Wii had nothing worth of note from first parties besides Skyward Sword, but at least it seems a legit reason. Right now though, the only company with a guy in charge that I have respect for and that I think is doing a good job, is MS, which made a brilliant decision putting Phil Spencer in charge. Ironically I have the PS4 and the U, not the X1. That's going to have to be fixed soon because the X1, at least for what I like, seems to have the most on the way from now until 2015 ends. It's a good thing for Sony that third parties seem to be putting their best efforts into PS4 versions of games right now. That will change at some point though, just like things eventually evened out with X360 and PS3, and once that advantage is gone, Sony better have its first party act together. No more 'remasters' not more main focus on indies. Those can still be released but they can not continue to be positioned as THE reason to buy the console.
I'm 31, I've been gaming for a while and grew up on Nintendo consoles, I also know plenty about the company's history. That doesn't change what I stated. The majority of PS4 sucks comments, that I've seen, come from the Nintendo fanboys, a few come from the MS crowd. Fans on all sides are equally close minded dbags. The last time I remember things being tolerable was the 8-bit era and honestly I was too young to really make a call on how bad things were then, but I imagine not bad since NES was really the only game in town. The 16-bit era it was a friendly rivalry, my friends and I all had our preferences but we could play games on SNES, Genesis, even TG16 and be happy as long as the game was good. Things got bad around the 32-bit era. Nintendo fans are pissed Sony came in and stomped all over their turf and still haven't gotten over the butthurt even though Wii outsold the PS3 easily last generation. It is absolutely pathetic. And so no mistake is made here, I think it is equally pathetic when the Sony and MS slaves say Nintendo provide nothing but kiddie games. All 3 groups are a joke, none is better than the other and the gaming industry would be better off if they'd all learn to shut up and just enjoy what they have. But that will never happen. People would rather argue over nonsense.
Well, first of all, I'm about as far from an Xbox fanboy as you'll find, but that's besides the point. If MS has been willing to stick it out this long, I'm not going to count on it disappearing any time soon. It could leave and if it does, well sucks for me because I believe in the theory that the more competition the better and I'm not as big a fan of what Nintendo provides these days as I used to be, but I won't lose sleep over it. Just saying I wouldn't be counting on MS to go away. Also, it's an unfair generalization to say all Xbox has is 'violent' games, but I'm not going to get into that because here at NLife, if it isn't Nintendo it's trash.
1. A Link to the Past
2. A Link Between Worlds
3. Ocarina of Time
4. LoZ 1
5. Twilight Princess
This list is obviously subject to change. I think the LoZ for Wii U, if done right, may become the new 'best game of all-time.'
MS has a boatload of money, has shown the willingness to spend it this gen, just turned the division over to a guy in Phil Spencer who has an actual passion for the industry and the CEO of the company just came out and said MS is fully behind the Xbox line... so good luck with seeing it go away. I know a lot of people here would love to see Sony and MS both disappear. You may get your wish on Sony, MS is in it for the long haul. If it didn't quit after the original Xbox, it sure won't now.
Good news. Anybody else would've long ago taken Nintendo in the mobile and third party direction idiotic investors and media dolts have been spewing for some time now.
Aside from 3DS... horrible. And if Mario Kart 8 can't get Wii U selling into the 25K-30K range consistently what will? And Sony can forget about it in regards to PS4, it's a Western-focused console with minimal games over the next year, maybe longer for that audience. Sony would be better off, if it has the money, to consider going toe-to-toe with MS in China than focusing on Japan because clearly it isn't going to sell there. And in regards to MS, the Xbox One pre-orders have actually been really good in Japan, and I expect a nice debut, but like PS4, with a Western-heavy lineup what happens after that? I'd like to think things turn around there but man, the console market seems pretty much dead in Japan.
For what it's worth, pre-order numbers for Xbox One have been great in Japan. What that means in the long term, who knows, but all we have to go on right now is pre-orders and the news has been very positive.
Just to anger the 'purists' I will download this and use it online.
Unfortunately it can be said across the board to 'wait for 2015.' There are some games I'm looking forward to this fall though... Obviously on Wii U it's Smash Bros. and Bayonetta. Destiny, LBP 3, CoD Advanced Warfare, AC Unity and Far Cry 4 for PS4 and if I had an X1 Sunset Overdrive and The Master Chief Collection would be definite buys.
So far the only thing we have to go on is a quote from Kojima: MGS 5 will be out 'when a lot of PS4s are in homes.' Don't know what he considers 'a lot' but I think at this point PS4 is likely ahead of or close to surpassing where PS3 was when MGS 4 came out so, I'm hoping 2015, but there's no official date.
Looks like the biggest Japanese exclusive announced at the show was on Nintendo's console and not the competition as had been rumored. At least that's the way I see it, this game looks awesome.
Ubisoft actually tried, it didn't get the sales. So I can't blame them. But I'm not sure I 100% buy the userbase argument. Yes, the userbase is low, yes it's a factor, but if the games like say AC IV and Splinter Cell Blacklist were pulling in 1.5-2 mil would Ubi be giving up the ship? I think Blacklist did like a pathetic 10K sales in its first month or two and I'm sure it didn't grow much after that so it makes the choice easy. It's too bad third party games perform so pitifully on Nintendo consoles.
I can understand the frustration with delays though. I was really looking forward to Batman: Arkham Knight, which WB even just a week or two ago said was coming out this year, then they pull the rug out from under you. I won't say 'I'm not buying the game,' but I'd be lying if I said it's not annoying. Just don't put a damn date on it if you're not sure when it will come out.
I wonder if the timing of the release means no AC at all on Wii U this year. It'd seems strange considering it got 3 and 4 but if sales for the Wii U versions of both were pitiful then I guess I could see Ubi sticking Watch_Dogs in there instead.
I think that's a bit of an unfair generalization but regardless, that 160 mil userbase is obviously too big for WB to ignore. At least in regards to a 2D fighter. I still think this game would've come to Wii U also, had Injustice done better on the console, but that was partly NetherRealm's own doing. The Wii U version didn't get near the support of the others.
The combined user base of the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
I can give you 160 million reasons it's on the way to PS3 and Xbox 360.
Yeah, I meant NA. Although Sony only barely beat MS worldwide and it took until the last year or just before the last year of the generation.
Anyway, I'm actually more of a PlayStation gamer, and I have inFamous: Second Son and Mario Kart 8 and I have no problem saying the latter is not just a better game, it's a much, much better game. Second Son is a very good game but was also a disappointment in how short it was and how little interactivity there is with the open world. It also felt very barren compared to something like Watch Dogs or GTA, which have living, breathing cities.
Mario Kart 8, on the other hand, is the current best racer of this gen and one of the best racers on the market, period.
June NPD will be interesting. With Mario Kart 8 having been on the market for a month and with the $400 Xbox One releasing at the start of the month, Sony may find itself back in third place in North America - where it spent the entirety of last gen- especially if a good number of strong PS4 exclusives aren't shown at E3. And I'm not talking indie games.
Honestly if somebody wants third party games going forward, I'd say just get a PS4 or Xbox One. In most cases the game will have more effort put into it on those consoles and in some cases, a game will just skip Wii U entirely. It's unfortunate for those who want to only stick to one console but there's only two options these days. Either stick with Nintendo knowing all you'll get are Nintendo games and the odd third party release or get one of the other consoles to sit next to the Wii U.
Unless MS has offered up a whole crapton of cash to get this exclusive to the Xbox brand I really see no reason in keeping the platforms secret at this point. The cat is out of the bag, we know the game is on the way and we have a tentative time frame. Let us know what systems so we can pre-order. I've got some ready for the PS4 version.
Not a matter of either or for me. I was looking forward to Watch Dogs since it was announced and despite losing some interest after the delay, I still bought the PS4 version yesterday and have been enjoying the game quite a bit. Mario Kart 8 of course is a no-brainer purchase. I don't think I've ever disliked a game in the series.
I'm probably going to regret this but what the hell... How exactly is this game a 'scam?'
So it's awesome, good to know, this game is the main reason I finally pulled the trigger on buying a Wii U back in April during a deal at Target. Can't wait to finally play this, I've loved every single game in this series, so this one shouldn't be any different.

Artist Alert: Chantal Joffe
"I really love painting women. Their bodies, their clothes – it all interests me," said London-based artist Chantal Joffe in an interview with Stella McCartney. Fashion photography then, which Joffe often bases her work from, seems a perfect fit. Joffe utilizes images from magazines, except she transforms each woman into a more abstracted and warped version of herself, making her ultimately more interesting we believe.

Of course, American school textbooks forget those small details and make
it look like that US nearly single-handedly defeated fascism. It didn't.
To get a sense of what was going on and who was fighting whom see
And if you ever wondered why America dropped A-bomb on Japan - it was to
prevent imminent occupation of Japan by the Red Army. After Germany
capitulated the Soviet armies were quickly shipped eastward, and were
quickly advancing (this you can also see on the world political map,
especially if you compare pre-war and post-war boundaries). The only way
to prevent People's Republic of Japan was to scare s*t out of Japanese to
force them to capitulate to Americans.
The myth that American involvement in WWII made a significant difference
from the point of view of defeating fascism is just a myth. What US
involvement did is to check advancement of communists, not Nazis.
No wonder, US immediately took place of the main enemy of the Soviet
Union. It still was worth it, Stalin was no better than Hitler.
Sorry, fellow Americans, you _are_ brainwashed if you believe the drivel
they teach you as "history". "Fascist powers were doomed" because of
Pearl Harbor, sure. Until you check the figures and actually think for a
second or two.
PS If you want to know how _that_ is related to Sep 11, you may be
interested to know that Chechens were collaborating with Nazi;
which prompted Stalin to retaliate after the war with mass
deportations. They were allowed to return decade or so later,
having no love for Russians and the Allies in WWII. That's how
their militant leaders became natural allies with Middle-Eastern
terrorists, including (surprise) bin Laden.

The SaaS Factor
Make this model your way to add RMR
Software as a Service (SaaS) has been around for years but not until recently did it take hold in areas beyond banking or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools to encompass physical security. Customers are now trusting SaaS systems as much, if not more, than their own IT systems. With the help of good providers using separate disaster recovery centers to restore full operations and the Internet's capability to send information using various routes, customers now have the peace of mind and redundancy they need if their primary center becomes disabled. As the comfort levels of using SaaS increase, growth in its adoption is sure to follow.
Worldwide SaaS revenue is forecasted to reach $12.1 billion in 2011, a 20.7 percent increase from 2010 revenue of $10 billion, according to Gartner Inc., Stamford, Conn. More and more integrators, drawn by the allure of Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR), are embracing the SaaS model. Traditionally, integrators depended on project and/or service business to achieve financial success. While profitable for many integrators, this business model is dependent on managing and maintaining physical resources for execution, i.e., tied to hardware sales, which have plunged in yielding substantial profitability.
Portfolio adoption is critical
Integrators can add SaaS to their portfolio in two ways-they can host solutions themselves or sign up with a third-party hosting provider. For new SaaS providers, the better approach might be to start off with the latter, turning to a third-party hosting provider until they reach a critical mass in number of subscribers. They can then move to an in-house solution once the organization attains the IT expertise and required infrastructure.
With SaaS, the integrator receives an RMR stream that is sustainable, while SaaS solutions provide customers with a more affordable way to implement the security they need. This flexible, Web-based solution minimizes a company's upfront capital costs and reduces IT expenses. Chief Security Officers (CSOs) can execute new security capabilities without investing in the technology and human resources required to support the service. Since the SaaS model is based on constant technological updates supported by monthly fees, customers do not have to worry about additional costs for maintenance or hardware. They can also treat it as an ongoing operational expense, better for the bottom line and less prohibitive than a large capital outlay of cash.
Enterprise-class customers pose challenge
Initially, small to medium-sized customers moved into the cloud due to lack of resources and capital. SaaS provides them with a viable, cost-effective alternative that meets their growing security needs. However, the challenges to SaaS do not typically come from the small to medium-sized companies, but from the large enterprise-class customers. These customers may currently be struggling to answer not only 'how' SaaS solutions can help them but 'if' they can accomplish it as well.
The answer calls for a more robust solution than just SaaS alone. It should be combined with managed services such as Remote Access Management (RAM) and remote video monitoring services. Through this combination of hosted and managed services, enterprise customers are likely to reduce their upfront capital costs and further reduce the solution's total cost of ownership by cutting their IT and security spending over time.
Despite the initial questions and challenges that SaaS may pose, systems integrators can help end-users bask in the benefits and at the same time, grow their company's revenue streams to another level-creating a win-win for all.
