So over the last week or so we've asked people to ask us the questions they want to know about the game, the team and our thoughts on game related things in general. Now it's time for answers!
We've been flooded with questions via here, our BlogSpot site, the Facebook Page and via email, and unfortunately we've had too many to be able to answer them all, but we've put together a list of as many as we could to answer you as best we can. So here goes nothing!
Q. Have you considered adapting your procedural generation method for use with planetoids and/or sphereoids? I would imagine being able to procedurally generate an planet's worth of content and have the same content show up at the same spot every time would be very attractive to other developers looking to license your technology.
A. We imagine you're right! The alogrithms would very easily adapt to planetoids, and we had briefly considered doing an infinite version of X3 or Freelancer using this method, but settled instead on what you see here. But with regards to licensing, unless someone comes to us with an offer we can't refuse, we have no plans to license the technology of Malevolence. It's something very new, very high-tech and very powerful, and if made common knowledge we believe that big game producers would ruin it, as they have so many other great ideas. That being said, if we had an offer made to us which meant that we'd be able to quit our day jobs and make games full time, then we'd probably take it and spend the rest of our days making more awesome new ideas!
Q. What inspired you to use the fourth dimension as a means to make your procedural generation method predictable (i.e. going from Point A to Point B, then returning to A from B, with the content remaining the same at A, B and all the points in-between)?
A. We'd taken a long look at other uses of procedural generation in games, and taken particular note of their limitations. Games like Daggerfall which had solid world borders because half of the game was hand-designed, and Minecraft - whose world starts breaking up and falling apart when you start to reach long number form limitations and did a substantial amount of research of our own to work out how these limitations could be overcome. Funnily enough, this research started out back in 2005, long before Malevolence had been though of. Once I had the tech working, I put it aside for the "right game" which turned out to be Malevolence.
Q. Why do you think it is important to let the community see your progress and give their feedback on it?
A. When you think about it, a game is nothing without people to play it. We're not some big corporate-backed design company and we really would love people to play our game when it comes out. We've very passionate about the game, and it means a LOT to us as a team. It's sort of become a family member in a way. We've nurtured it and cared for it for two years now, and we want other people to get to know it. Especially since it's such a new concept! Normally game companies have a very high brow, closed door approach to game development, but the truth is, the gaming community is really interested in the process behind it all, and we want them to feel like they were a part of the development. All of you guys are awesome (except the haters!) and have been so supportive that we want to reward you all by showing you inside Wonka's Chocolate Factory as much as possible!
Besides, sometimes you guys have good ideas! :-P
Q. What resources (e.g. games, papers, source code, etc.) did you use to research ways of generating procedural content?
A. Far too many to list here... Most of the standard papers published by MIT and Carnegie Mellon were read, but we had some obscure references, too, such as ancient procedural architecture like the Mosque of Uqba. The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall was also a big reference and we did quite a bit of research into that, but also games such as '.kkrieger', the entry into the 96k game competition at Breakpoint. But, to be completely honest, about 75% of it is original work. We weren't happy with the way other people generated procedural content so we came up with our own methods for the most part, to make things seem more nature and less... Robotic...
Q. Are you working on other procedural generation content?
A. Everything that we've been working on we've been putting into Malevolence. Pretty much all our spare time goes into it!
Q. Given as Euclideon, the developers of the controversial Unlimited Detail Engine, are also based in Australia, what is your opinion on their engine, and why?
A. They actually live very close to us! They're a reclusive bunch over there, but that is through necessity. They are HOUNDED by media day and night, the poor blokes. We feel that it's a big shame that so many trolls/flamers attack them saying that they're all talk and no show, and that their engine is a fake. I can guarantee you that it is real, and does what they say it can do. It'll take more work to have it in a position worthy of releasing a proper game, but they're well on their way to doing just that. They're an incredibly talented bunch of people and deserve much more praise than they get! Though it probably wouldn't hurt them to be a bit more open with the public. We cop a lot of flack from people saying that what Malevolence promises is impossible, but we explain ourselves and the flack disappears :-P
Q. What advice do you have with developers dealing with the time differences between team-members? (i.e. The majority of your development team works in Australia, but some of your best QA testers work in Germany.)
A. Funnily enough, of the 34 people working on Malevolence, only half a dozen of us are based in Australia. The rest of them are all over the place. From California to Scotland to China! It can be very difficult getting the timings right, but we've made use of four key things that have helped. 1) Skype. It shows you the local time of the person you're talking to and is a great way to leave messages. 2) Email rules. Filtering emails from different users into various folders, etc, helps you keep on top of things. 3) Bizarre sleep schedules. As the team director, I don't get much sleep. I'm up at around 7am for my day job, but don't actually go to sleep until 1 or 2 in the morning, because those extra few hours of staying up late allows me to be able to talk real-time with most of the crew. And finally 4) My iPhone. Being able to push emails through to the palm of my hand wherever I am means that I can communicate with my team within a few minutes of them emailing me with something. I can also access Skype on it to have that convenience as well. Most of them are friends with me on Facebook as well, so it helps that I can access that on my iPhone as well.
Q. Has your development team found any resources which are 'hidden gems' (e.g. unknown or obscure) on the Internet which you've been utilizing in the development of Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox? If so, what are they and where can we find out more about them?
A. The software on offer from The Game Creators has been a huge help in quickly prototyping the tech behind this game. When you're working on something as complicated as this you don't want to have to dive right into the C++ straight away as you can lose motivation fast. Having a good prototyping system can help you see if your idea will work quickly before you go on to the proper stuff. In our case we stuck with their products and used their DarkGDK libraries for a lot of our work.
Aside from the development side of things, our lead concept artist, Natalie, likes to use an art package called 'Paint Tool Sai' which is pretty nifty, and another of our junior concept artists uses a program called 'ArtRage' which is a personal favourite of mine, too.
Q. What has your experience been like with attracting and working with professional voice actors?
A. Now that is an interesting question. Before we launched the trailer, we actually had never met a voice actor before and had no-where to begin. For the trailer, I really wanted to find the guy who narrated the original Warcraft 3 trailer. I searched and searched but couldn't find him. Then I found out that it was Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers movies, and he would be impossible for an independant like me to contact. I was a bit disheartened, but then I watched the INCREDIBLE dot dot dot review video and heard the voice of one Deven Mack whom I was able to get into contact with. Unfortunately he was a part of the Screen Actor's Guild and couldn't charge below a certain rate which we couldn't afford, so he put us onto a friend of his named Steven Kelly, who eventually did the trailer voice for us. Personally, I think Steven did a better voice job on the trailer than Peter Cullen could have done, so we were extatic. We then VERY quickly found out that pretty much all indie voice actors know each other, and we were knee-deep in voice actors within a month. Steven put us onto the likes of Karen Kahler, Samuel Drake, Amber Lee Connors, Rebeka Thomas and David Doyle, who went on to do the voices of the characters and monsters in the game, as well as a couple of other people who were new to the voice acting trade. I myself did the voice of the Minotaur, and the singer of the local death metal band, 'In Death...' stepped up to do the voice of the Ogre.
They're an eccentric bunch, as all genius minds are, and are an absolute pleasure to work with at all times. We actually get very excited when one of them wants to call us over Skype, as it's an absolute delight to hear them speak as they all have the most incredible voices. Steven Kelly, for example, I could happily listen to him simply reading from a phonebook for hours!
Q. How is your team working on an infinite world that we all will want to explore? Such as, how much variety in landscape and gameplay will be present?
A. We're of the firm belief that if you can make a repetitive action interesting enough, people are happy to do it. Proof of this concept is Minecraft. Actually a very simple game, but your repetitive actions lead to the creation of amazing things. In Malevolence, a similar theory is employed, with the amazing thing at the end being your character. The in-game world never ends, so you'll always have more dungeons/temples/crypts/forests/cities to explore, but the quest system and item system is also procedurally infinite, so you'll never run out of things to do or to find, either!
Q. Once it's ready will the alpha be available to buy and play before the game is finished, ala Minecraft?
A. Sort of but not quite... We have no interest in handling an alpha update system, so what we are planning to do is to release the "demo" around July/August if all goes well. I put "demo" in quotes because it will be virtually the full game. The only difference is that you won't be able to save. So it'll be pretty much a "play until you die or get bored" scenario, but you'll be able to experience pretty much everything the game has to offer. If you decide you like it, you'll be able to buy it on December 21st and have the full thing, with all the extra content and the ability to save! The demo DOES have some limitations other than the lack of a save feature. For example, you're only able to find about 50,000 weapons, whereas in the full version there are unlimited weapons...
Q. There is a lot of water will there be things like boats?
A. There will, but not just anywhere. Settlements that are based on a coastline will have ports where you will be able to barter passage on a trader vessel to other coastal towns nearby.
Q. Did you base your procedural generation method off of fractals?
A. Actually no, but there's a bit of a story there. We originally started with fractal generation but the things that it came up with looked too... Fractal... If you know much about fractals you'll know that things generated with them tend to have a certain look about them, and they tend to repeat themselves. Well, we didn't like that look, so we tried about 4 other procedural techniques, and had the same results with all of them. In the end, we developed our own procedural generation algorithm based off of a morphing hyperbolic paraboloid with an extra time dimension. We use it to simulate tectonic movement and erosion much as it happens in the real world in order to generate landscapes, and we use it's numerical results to generate everything else. It took us a LONG time to get right, but it works really well, and generates really natural looking environments (as you can see)
Q. Will there be any type of multiplayer support? And if not, why? And if there is support, how will this work?
A. When Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox is released at the end of the year, it will have no multiplayer support whatsoever. It will purely be single-player. HOWEVER, if this game ends up being popular enough, and it has enough of a fan-base, we have two expansion packs lined up, and then a sequel. The first expansion pack will bring 4-player co-op multiplayer support to the game. Everything will still be turn-based, which you might think is limiting, but when you get to play the demo/full game, you'll see just how much like a real-time game Malevolence feels. It may be turn-based, but it certainly doesn't feel like it!
Q. Can we buy land,ships,mounts?
A. You'll be able to buy a house in certain towns, but you can't own your own ship, only pay your way on other people's ships. There are also no mounts in Malevolence due to the grid-based movement system, though you can pay for travel by Griffon if you want. The sequel to Malevolence won't be grid-based or turn-based, so it'll have mounts and all that, but for now it's just travel by foot, really.
Q. If the world is persistent can wars start with lands?
A. All of the infinite world is persistent, yes, but wars won't ever be witnessed. Raiding parties travel across the land, however, and a town you may have been in before may one day be found razed to the ground by Orcish brigands. But then again it will eventually be re-built. Sometimes you may find what is left of a large skirmish, but that'll be the most of it. The main focus on Malevolence is exploration and looting. But if we make it to the sequel, there will be a much more "epic action" feel to the gameplay.
Well, we hope that sates you all for now! If you have any last-minute questions for us, just ask away in the comments section of this news post and we'll answer as best we can!
Oh wow a "demo" around July/August if all goes well.. can't wait :-)
hahaha the use of quotes is appropriate. The demo is going to be massive. Kind of like a neverending roguelike. No saving the game and once your dead you're dead! Although we're making sure that every time you start a new game in the demo, you start in a new part of the world. That way, it'll be different every time!
Unlimited is a good word in games and I see a lot of it :3
hahaha yes! We love RPGs but we always end up getting bored of them since there's only so much cool stuff to find and explore. So we thought "let's fix that problem, shall we?"
Come on, let us save D:
I see, me playing around 30 minutes... close the game... and open it again.... 0% complete... it is better to have an limited ammount of world and quests, but please, don't take off the save function, please !!!
haha it's only in the DEMO that there is no save. Once you purchase the full version, you can save as often as you'd like :D
If you could save in the demo, which has the same infinite world as the full version, would you still buy the game? After actually playing through the demo with the ability to save, I believe your answer would probably be "no". Thus, the reason to remove said ability along with the aforementioned demo limitations.
Bingo. After playing the demo for a few hours, trust me... You're REALLY going to want to save!
Excellent Q&A all around! I'm glad people OTHER THAN ME actually sent in lots of questions. (In addition, I'm surprised you answered my question regarding Euclideon; I thought you would reject it due to it most likely attracting the company's naysayers and trollers.)
Also, one last, post-Q&A question: have you thought about adding support for fixed seeds in your procedural generation method? What I mean by a "fixed seed" is the ability to define a pre-constructed area of the game world (think like one of the major cities in the original Dragon Age or Skyrim) and import it into the procedural generation such that it will appear exactly the same way in exactly the same spot after every re-generation. I'm sure this would probably only be useful for licensees, and that you stated you have no intention of ever licensing your procedural generation method, but I thought I'd throw this out there.
EDIT: Also, nice to see you using the oh-so-popular trope of using beautiful women to advertise an RPG with your Q&A picture. :P (Yes, I do realize those pictured are the original developers, but I just wanted to point that out - no offense intended!)
haha yes, about half of the entire team are women! In the picture there is Nyssa, the lead writer, myself, the lead developer, Rachel, the art director and Natalie, the lead concept artist. Some inside info, Nyssa is actually my wife! The fact that she's wearing a D20 necklace should tell you all that you need to know about her!
We NEARLY dismissed the Euclideon question, but decided to put our views out there. We've seen it, we know what it does, and the flamers would have to call us liars as well. We're willing to take a hit to defend fellow Aussies!
Fixed seeds would be a bit of an issue. We like the idea of supporting modders and the like, but we're thinking of saving that support for the sequel (if this one takes off, which we hope it does) but like you said, for now we have no interest in licensing the tech.

Uncertainty may not be what you think it is
Tom Koulopoulos was the keynote speaker at a conference that I attended last week. He's a really bright guy and a very entertaining speaker (or at least I think so).
Tom covered a wide range of topics, one of which was in dealing with uncertainty. He began with a question to the audience:
"What are some games that involve uncertainty?"
Audience members tossed out three examples:
- Dice
- Cards
- Chess
Sure enough, Tom's next slide showed the same three games (He swore he didn't plant shills in the audience, but you never know).
We fell right into his trap. None of these games really involves uncertainty. For example, with dice you will never roll a 13 (Assuming that you are using two "standard" dice).
Uncertainty is not what you least expect, it's what you don't expect at all.
So how do you plan for uncertainty? I can tell you from my own experience that the answer is not "plan for every eventuality". In the first place, you can't know "every eventuality". In the second place, if you try to add in hooks to deal with anything that might happen your product will be bloated and over-engineered. In the third place, the hooks that you build will seldom be the ones you need.
Agile methods evolved from the recognition that you can't predict the future:
- Build only what you need today
- Build it lean
- Build it well
- Get really good at building things fast
If you can build things quickly, you can respond quickly when the thing that you never expected happens.
I have great respect for Bruce Tate and his Better, Faster, Lighter mantra, but in my world of application integration I have to focus at a different level. The Spring/Hibernate stack is great for implementing point solutions, but it's not enough for implementing connect the dots scenarios. Put another way, Spring/Hibernate is great for creating individual services, but it's not the answer for implementing solutions that require orchestrating dozens of services.
Einstein is quoted as saying:
"Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler"
I think that Spring/Hibernate solutions by themselves are too simple for most enterprise-wide problems.
Spring/Hibernate articles generally discuss solutions that are created from scratch. Enterprise-wide solutions evolve over time, and they're never pure. Just as our DNA contains garbage sequences, enterprise-wide solutions always contain legacy junk that will never quite die.
There is no "homogenous future". There will never be a single language, operating system, database management system, or presentation technology.
We need a better, faster, lighter approach towards integrating heterogeneous services.
This is where SOA comes in. SOA mandates loose coupling between services. Loose coupling leads to less efficient solutions, but the agility of the solutions to respond to changing requirements is preserved.
If you tailor a suit too well, it will only fit one man. The suit will look great, but as the man gets older (and middle-age spread sets in) the suit will probably end up at a thrift store.
SOA is a paradigm that allows for growth. OpenEAI is a Java-based open-source framework for implementing solutions that can grow.
Stephen Wheat and Tod Jackson presented a session on OpenEAI at the conference that I attended last week. The framework and methodology were developed by the University of Illinois and then released publicly under GNU licenses.
From their web site:
In the face of this complexity, it is very helpful for an enterprise to have an integration methodology that can be uniformly applied to any new integration project, regardless of the technology involved. Even more helpful is a flexible technology foundation that has already been applied to many types of projects and can be readily extended and applied to new situations. The OpenEAI Project strives to provide this methodology and technology and, most importantly, to provide it in a way that allows all the individuals and enterprises that practice the methodology and use the technology to share their experience and benefit from each other's work. The goal of the OpenEAI project is to explore and codify the science of enterprise application integration in a practical, public, and methodical way.
I don't know if OpenEAI will be to SOA what Spring/Hibernate is to Agile methods, but it looks like a good start.

Platform Specialty Products reports income gain, flat sales
August 6, 2014 | Lindsay Frost
Platform Specialty Products (Miami), formed by the acquisition of MacDermid, posted a narrower net loss of $400,000 in the second quarter compared with a loss of $5.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The company says adjusted net income was $26.6 million, up 12% year-on-year (YOY). The increase in net income "is primarily attributed to favorable product mix, variable operating expense management, and increased work in the company's long term tax planning," Platform says. Reported earnings of 19 cts/share were above analyst estimates of 16...

Comments about Whirlpool 2.0 Cu. Ft. Front Loading Washer - White:
I bought this model WFC7500VW in January 2015. Within 2 weeks it had problems and the store I purchased it from replaced it with the same model. Then in July 2015, the new one stopped working properly - the spin cycle won't run to drain the machine. The service company says it is the CPU mother board that needs to be replaced, but they can't get one!!! It's been 2 months now that I'm waiting for it. This is NOT RIGHT for a brand new machine to FAIL when it is less than 1 year old.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A good choice
By Bob
from Venice, FL
The unit is in our motor home where we do smaller loads of laundry on a regular basis when we are hooked up. This unit has a good variety of washing choices to meet our various clothing types as well as our bed linens and towels.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

No need to bring home the clothes to be washed when you can use the washer in the RV, works great
A gentle cycle at last!
By Kathy
from Chimacum, WA
This machine is SO much better than the one it replaced. It's nice to our clothes and has cycles I didn't have before. Plus, it has a gentle spin cycle. I'm very happy with it.
Fabulous Washer
By Susan
from Cincinnati, Ohio
I bought this washer because it was one of the only that fit my space. There were a couple of less expensive options but the reviews were terrible. I opted for Whirlpool because my old washer was also a Whirlpool from Kenmore and lasted over 15 years. I love it!! Kiedel, the company that installed it and recommended it were the best.
Great washer!

Love my new washer! I used it this summer and it performed well with lots of use. The size is perfect for our small space.
Great washer!!

We purchased this for our RV and it, along with the dryer, is the best investment that we have made in a long time!
Love the time remaining display & clean washer cycle

Would never buy again
By Gloria
from Olympia WA
Our machine is not yet four years old. For the last several months it has been extremely temperamental and will not drain/spin most loads. We have to add a dry towel and reset the cycle to drain/spin. Service call solved nothing. Perhaps a new door latch? Sorry, unavailable for who knows how long. I would never buy this brand again.

I only gave it a star because it won't let me give none!!! I give ZERO STARS!!! I bought this washer as a set in my camper. It was professionally installed. After 6 months the floor in my bedroom and the entire closet was soaked through. Had to put my brand new camper in the shop to have it repaired. Well come to find out an internal hose was not connected so when the washer would drain it was just draining in my closet! Well of course whirlpool said it was my fault that the hose wasn't connected!!! All because it was in a camper and a camper bounces!!! Wow really??? So you sell a compact washer in a camper retailer give them permission to put it in a camper because that's what it's made for then blame me because the hose INSIDE the washer came undone!! The clamps that hold the hoses inside you can only get off with pliers because you have to squeeze them together and use a lot of force to get the clamp off but I'm expected to believe that bouncing made it just fall off???? NOPE!!!! No matter what that hose should not come off from bouncing unless it was improperly put inside the washer!!! So that cost me $1800 to repair my floor and add a pan under to catch water if it should happen again! Now while it hasn't leaked since then and we have been on rougher roads and in the mountains up north since it happened the first time I would like to know why it hasn't "slipped off because of bouncing" this time???? Now on to my next problem!! I get an A10 error code which means it's taking too long to drain. Get someone to come out which cost me more money! Since last month my horrible one year warranty ran out! I guess washers are only supposed to last a year nowadays! It's a burnt pump. Ok buy the pump that's another $140 get it put in and guess what??!! It still won't work! Now it's the electrical board. Go to order that part and guess what??! To my amazement you can't find it ANYWHERE!!! The places it does show up ranges from $200-$400!!! But no one can get them because whirlpool no longer manufactures the part! And nothing I can do because my warranty was up less than 60 days ago!! Now if you research my unit this is happens very often! I wish I would have NEVER bought this unit expecting it to be a great washer because it was made by whirlpool! I'll never make that mistake again!

Hi is it possible to retrofit the new mmi-3g into an 07 plate Q7? It loos brilliant!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Yes but loads of bits need replacing, I reckon your looking at at least 3 grand.
Just done 3G in my Q7, yes it would cost around 3k. Fitted MMI 3G HDD nav, TV, Radio with DAB, BOSE Sound, SDS, Bluetooth, AMI, 6 CD etc...
Also fixes required for the aircon system as that changed between 2007/8 and my 2010 AC unit didn't work anymore. But it does now.

Fancy Movies Editor
editor's review
buy now $39.90
Creating a video for a presentation can help make a first good impression. Various software applications are used to create some of the complex movies for different purposes. Fancy Movies Editor is one of them, and promises to deliver a handful of tools wrapped in a user friendly interface to give you the possibility to assemble recordings into a video file.
Use pictures, videos or capture with a device
Running the application brings up a classic interface used in video editing tools. A preview section is put at your disposal to keep an eye on your work as yo progress. A panel displays imported media files effects and transitions with which you can enhance the video.
For precise arranging, you are given a timeline and clip view, where used files are shown. Additionally, several editing options are available to trim a video or set the playback speed. For more possibilities, the application lets you record via your webcam or a connected device, and include the captured file in your work.
Apply effects and save to file
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of transitions and effects you can make use of. Available presets offer limited enhancing possibilities, with nothing out of the ordinary. These can be applied by dragging them in a dedicated box between clips.
When work is done, you can only export the movie to AVI or MPEG, with several quality options that can be set. Furthermore, an integrated function lets you transform an imported video into a series of GIF images.
In conclusion
To sum it up, Fancy Movies Editor does not really bring anything new on the block. It's a straightforward utility with limited customization options. However, if you need a quick assembly of video bits, it gets the job done.

American Idol judges: Naples' Lazaro Arbos' performance 'exponentially better'
Collier County resident Lazaro Arbos has survived to sing another week on "American Idol."
Arbos was in the bottom three of the eight remaining candidates this wee. But at the end of the show, it was Devin Velez who was sent home.
check back to naplesnews.com for updates.
Southwest Florida singer Lazaro Arbos brought Motown to the "American Idol" stage tonight, and the judges praised his style.
Judge Randy Jackson, who panned Arbos' performance last week, seemed to be ready to give the Gulf Coast High School graduate a second Golden Ticket.
"I don't know if you've completely redeemed yourself, but this is far better than last week," Jackson said.
The show was Motor City-themed, and eight remaining contestants sang songs that came straight from Detroit. Arbos,21, an aspiring singer who stutters when he speaks but not when he sings, chose Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life."
Judge Mariah Carey said the song choice was "smart," and complimented Arbos' attitude. Lately, the judges have been telling Arbos that he needs to reconnect with his confidence. Carey noticed a difference this week.
"To me, it felt like you were back," she said. "And I'm happy about that."
Smokey Robinson, the legendary Motown singer, songwriter and record producer, helped "Idol" competitors prepare this week. Judge Keith Urban said Robinson's advice made a difference in Arbos' performance.
"Tonight was exponentially better," Urban said.
The judges comments were also exponentially better than last week, when Jackson characterized Arbos' performance as his worst yet. But Arbos told the Daily News Tuesday that he does not resent the judges when they are harsh with him.
"I don't get mad at what they say because I think that what they say ... that's not to make you bad, that's to make you grow and perform better next week," Arbos said.
The show returns for another elimination — and to celebrate its 450th episode — Thursday at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Top 20 NFL Player Rivalries
NFL Player Rivalries: Top 20
It is certainly a tough task putting together the most memorable and noteworthy rivalries that have taken place in the NFL, due to the widespread animosity that is harbored between so many players.
A vicious rivalry can be sparked in the NFL in many ways. Whether it be a couple of pretty-boy quarterbacks battling it out for professional supremacy, or a set of opponents who square off against each other on opposite sides of the line of scrimmage.
No matter what starts a rivalry between players, these feuds can last throughout the athlete's entire career and can even escalate into life after football.
In some cases, an NFL player will decide that scuffling with a peer is just too easy, and they will take their controversies to another team's coach, or even a league executive.
There are plenty of rivalries that contain players who truly despise on another and would love nothing more than to leave their opponent battered and shaken. On the other hand, there are some light-hearted rivalries between friends or even family that entails a couple of buddies trying to prove who is better.
While most of the rivalries in the old days were between divisional foes that put their heart and soul into every snap, a lot of the spats nowadays tend to appear baseless and silly. But man, are they fun to watch.
After plenty of consideration which included countless instances of crossing out, re-writing and re-ordering the top NFL player feuds in recent years, I have constructed my own, personal list of the 20 best.
So, sit back and enjoy an in-depth look into the 20 most exciting NFL player rivalries.
20. LeSean McCoy vs. Osi Umenyiora
I will kick-off my Top 20 with a feud that is more of a knee-slapping war of words, instead of an actual bitter hatred. New York Giants DE Osi Umenyiora and Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy have spat at each other over the past couple seasons over Twitter and through the media.
The only reason I pay this rivalry any mind is because it is between players on the Giants and Eagles, in which we all know are intense NFC East foes. McCoy began this controversy by calling Umenyiora "over-rated" and "soft," where Umenyiora responded by wishing McCoy a "Happy Mother's Day" and comparing him to pop-star Lady Gaga.
The rivalry between the two has never escalated much, although McCoy did refer to Umenyiora as a "ballerina" before one of their showdowns this season.
19. Warren Sapp vs. Brett Favre
The trash-talking rivalry between fellow future Hall-of-Famers Warren Sapp and Brett Favre has always been one of my favorites, and I feel like it is hugely underrated and under-recognized.
While Sapp was still a member of his beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Favre was the QB of the Green Bay Packers, the two could be seen jawing at each other constantly before, during and after nearly every snap.
Former Packers head coach Mike Sherman even had a war of words with Sapp in light of his conduct, which included laying out Favre once in his pursuit of an interception return. Sapp, a young and fiery d-end, even pranced through the Packers' pre-game drills just to rile up Favre and Sherman.
This rivalry between old and young was a thing of beauty, before it was put to rest by Favre's wife, Deanna, in fear of her husband's well-being. Now that's a good look for you Brett.
18. Wes Welker vs. Rex Ryan
The controversy between New England Patriots WR Wes Welker and New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan consisted of a single press conference in which Welker took some personal shots (or kicks) at Ryan.
In a 2011 press conference during the week leading up to the Patriots vs. Jets divisional playoff game, Welker made 11 references to feet, in the wake of an embarrassing video that was leaked in which Ryan and his wife mutually expressed their 'fondness for feet,' to say the least.
Ryan quickly put this feud to rest, calling it a "personal matter" and commented no more. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave Welker 'the boot' for an offensive series, but did still allow him to play in the contest.
17. James Harrison vs. Any Opponent
Now here is a rivalry between one man, and everybody he lines up against. Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison carries the most obvious 'chip on his shoulder' I have ever seen in my life, after going undrafted out of college and being cut by multiple NFL squads.
Harrison is one of the most vicious tacklers to ever play the game, and looks to despise every opponent that he faces. And when I say despise, I mean he truly shows personal disgust and disregard for anybody he is about to tackle, or maul, for that matter.
Throughout the past few years, Harrison has been the poster-boy for fines and discipline in light of helmet-to-helmet hits and 'launching' blows to a player's head and upper-body.
Harrison has never showed any sympathy towards his victims, and has even stated that he "likes to hurt" his opponents.
16. Randy Moss vs. Darrelle Revis
An already attractive rivalry between two of the game's best, WR Randy Moss and CB Darrelle Revis, was amplified in 2010 when Revis referred to Moss as a "slouch" during an interview.
With Moss a member of the New England Patriots and Revis (as always) the top CB of the New York Jets, the two had the pleasure of battling one-on-one at least twice a season. Even though they faced off from 2007-2010, while Moss was with Patriots, the rivalry escalated in 2009 and 2010.
Following the "slouch" comment, Moss was ready to show Revis his stuff in Week 2 of 2010, after being held down by the cornerback in both 2009 contests (58 receiving yards, one touchdown combined).
Moss ended up having the last laugh in their personal grudge-match when Moss snagged a gorgeous one-handed 34-yard touchdown over Revis in the Week 2 duel. Revis, embarrassingly, pulled up lame with a hamstring injury on the play and was forced to leave the game.
Moss was shipped off just weeks later for his second stint with the Minnesota Vikings, leaving Revis with an all too vivid memory of "the slouch" clowning him in their final Patriots-Jets match-up.
15. Peyton Manning vs. Eli Manning
The rivalry between current Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning and his younger brother, New York Giants QB Eli Manning, is the definition of a friendly-feud. Hey, even a family-feud if I may be so bold.
Since Eli entered the NFL in 2004, he has been constantly compared to his older brother. While it seemed almost impossible for Eli to match Peyton's elite status, the Giants QB has given his brother a run for his money. Eli has been an underrated over-achiever in his relatively short professional career, and has raised a Super Bowl trophy two times, while winning the MVP in both championships.
While Peyton has put up career passing numbers that will go down as some of the best in NFL history, he still only has one Super Bowl win, compared to Eli's two. While football is the most team-oriented game in all of professional sports, greatness is still largely judged by championships.
Rest assured, Peyton and Eli will continue to challenge each other season after season, and both will be staples in the record-book, and one day enter the NFL Hall of Fame.
14. Keyshawn Johnson vs. Jon Gruden
This player-coach rivalry is one of my favorite bouts in the history of professional sports. I mean, it isn't hard to find a fiery, pompous, young wide receiver in the NFL, but when that player is coached by a no-nonsense nut-job, now that is a treat for us all.
In 2003, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden and WR Keyshawn Johnson had what you could call a tumultuous relationship. And that is putting it lightly.
After Gruden and Johnson won a fairy-tale Super Bowl XXXVII together, their relationship turned sour the next season. The two did not hide their disgust for one another, as the feud boiled over on the sidelines, and the player-coach duo was caught on video jawing uncontrollably. Johnson was deactivated for the final 7 games of the 2003 season, and was traded to the Dallas Cowboys thereafter.
The funny thing is, Gruden and Johnson (pictured above with ex-Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin) are both now NFL analysts for ESPN and see a good amount of each other while they are covering the league.
The two have remained professional in their duties since their time together in Tampa (alliteration acknowledged), but few will ever forget the public spat between these two controversial characters.
13. Cam Newton vs. Robert Griffin III
This very recent rivalry is certainly early in its development, as Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton and Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III have only faced off once in the NFL.
While Newton was the 1st overall pick in last year's 2011 draft, Griffin was the 2nd overall pick in this year's 2012 draft. The two are always compared to one another because of their similar playing styles, as both have supreme running skills as well as NFL-caliber passing abilities.
The two were both also drafted by struggling franchises who are attempting to build winning teams around these young studs. No pressure or anything, guys.
Even though Newton bested Griffin in their first head-to-head match-up, the rivalry is just budding and is guaranteed to be a battle to keep an eye on for years to come.
12. Ronde Barber vs. Tiki Barber
There's nothing like some genuine brotherly love.
Former New York Giants RB Tiki Barber and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB/FS Ronde Barber are twin brothers who share some incredibly talent-rich blood. While Ronde is currently in his 16th NFL season, Tiki retired after his 10th season due to the injury-heavy nature of a professional running back.
The intriguing aspect of this family feud, as opposed to the Manning brothers, is that Ronde and Tiki played on opposite sides of the line of scrimmage. This meant that Ronde actually covered, shadowed and tackled Tiki when their teams faced off.
I mean, what more could you ask for growing up than to be able to put a lick on your own twin brother while playing against each other on the sport's biggest stage.
Both Barber brothers have always been famous for their wide, bright, grinning smiles, but when it came to playing football, these twins left it all on the field against one another.
11. Roger Goodell vs. Jonathan Vilma
An interesting rivalry has development in the past year between NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and many members of the New Orleans Saints organization. The most notable Saints' player involved is LB Jonathan Vilma, who was originally suspended for the entire 2012 season.
This feud of course is in the wake of the "bounty scandal" that included an alleged "pay for play" system in which Saints players were rewarded money for injuring opposing players.
There is great speculation concerning the truth and severity of these infractions, and there are also many questions regarding Goodell's knowledge and his motives. Vilma's suspension has since been lifted following multiple appeals. The lesser suspensions of Saints DE Will Smith, current Cleveland Browns LB Scott Fujita and free agent DE Anthony Hargrove have been vacated as well.
Vilma has accused Goodell of "dragging his name through the mud" and attempting to tarnish his image. Vilma and the rest of the Saints in question have maintained their innocence, and plan to fight Goodell and the accusers until the very end.
10. Mark Sanchez vs. Tim Tebow
This New York Jets quarterback controversy has grabbed more media attention than a battle between two horrendous signal-callers ever should. The answer is easy when it comes to whether QB Mark Sanchez or QB Tim Tebow should start for the Jets. The answer is neither.
While Tebow actually showed the ability to win games in a very unconventional way when with the Denver Broncos last year, Sanchez has looked like a scrub since day one.
Even when the Jets were actually winning games thanks to their elite defense, Sanchez could still hardly help himself from ruining their success.
But since Tebow's trade to the Jets, the debate over which quarterback should be at the helm has hogged headlines nation-wide. This rivalry needs to be squashed immediately, with Sanchez being cut, and Tebow remaining a backup, and holding onto the "locker-room-leader" image.
9. Albert Haynesworth vs. Andre Gurode
There is a fine-line between a relentless football player and a dirty football player. In 2006, DT Albert Haynesworth, then a member of the Tennessee Titans, hurdled over that line into the category of inhumane and disgusting in a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Following a Cowboys' touchdown, a typical scrum in the trenches ended with Cowboys C Andre Gurode losing his helmet. Haynesworth then did the unthinkable, as he lifted his cleat and attempted to stomp on Gurode's helmetless head and face. Haynesworth missed the first try, but connected on his second go-of-it, opening a massive gash across Gurode's face that required 30 stitches.
Fans watched in horror as Haynesworth was penalized with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call, and was subsequently ejected from the game after removing his helmet and slamming it to the ground in protest.
Haynesworth apologized multiple times in the wake of the incident, but there is really no explanation to be given as far as I'm concerned.
Karma has certainly come around for Haynesworth, being that he signed a massive $100 million contract with the Washington Redskins in 2009, but is now an unemployed bum.
After proving to be out of shape and incredibly thick-headed, Haynesworth was cut by the Redskins and has since been axed also by both the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
8. Peyton Manning vs. Mike Vanderjagt
I have always loved this rivalry between QB Peyton Manning and K Mike Vanderjagt, while they were both members of the Indianapolis Colts. It amuses me most of all because Manning is usually so polite and is known for staying away from controversy.
In 2002, After Vanderjagt publicly criticized Manning and former Colts head coach Tony Dungy in an interview following the team's first-round playoff loss, Manning gave Vanderjagt and the world a piece of his mind.
Manning held nothing back in a Pro Bowl interview that year, calling Vanderjagt an "idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth." Manning went on to say that "he's a good kicker, but he's an idiot."
I still laugh out loud whenever I hear or see the quote, because I love the fact that Manning decided to refrain from holding his tongue in that single instance. In reality, Vanderjagt needs to thank Manning, because if it wasn't for this rift, nobody would ever remember his name.
7. Golden Tate vs. M.D. Jennings
Now here is a controversy for the ages that just took place in Week 3 of this year's 2012 season during the era of the NFL's replacement referees. This one play, nicknamed the "Fail-Mary," is also the reason that the referee lock-out ended, and the actual referees returned to the gridiron.
On the final play of the Week 3 match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks, a desperation pass was chucked into the end-zone by Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.
After Seahawks WR Golden Tate shoved Packers CB Sam Shields in the back, he leaped into the air at the same time as Packers SS M.D. Jennings, when both looked to have corralled the pass. When the two hit the ground, a pair of replacement referees famously signaled opposite calls, with one ruling a touchdown and one ruling a touchback.
Upon further review, the ruling was confirmed to be a touchdown, but it was obvious to viewers nation-wide that Jennings had total possession of the ball, with Tate wrapped around his back.
This single play set off a fire-storm of controversy, being that the last-second touchdown gift-wrapped the Seahawks a 14-12 victory that they did not deserve.
In an interview after the game, Tate attempted to confirm that he caught the ball. But he didn't catch it. The Seahawks know it, the Packers know it, Tate knows is, Jennings knows it and the entire nation knows it. But still in the books, the Seahawks won that game 14-12, with a 24-yard touchdown pass with time expiring.
6. DeAngelo Hall vs. Everybody
Washington Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall is truly the definition of "that guy." He is a smack-talking, fast-running, self-loving, incredible athlete with all the potential in the world to be the best. But instead, Hall decides to stay in the spotlight by just aggravating players, coaches, referees and fans alike.
While Hall has put together an incredibly impressive career when it comes to statistics, his reputation has always been tarnished by his words and actions. Hall is outspoken to say the least, and has even publicly called for his own release from the Redskins, saying he's "definitely not worth" the money he's getting.
In 2008, Hall pulled a robbery of the Oakland Raiders when he signed a 7-year, $70 million contract, before being cut by the team just 8 games into the season.
Hall refused to adapt his selfish play to the ways of the team, and also seemed to be lagging in the effort department. Hall received a total of $8 million from the Raiders for the 8 games played.
Most recently, during Week 8 of this 2012 season, Hall removed his helmet and verbally berated a referee with a profanity-laced tirade. Hall was ejected from the game and fined $30,000 by the league.
But we all know that nothing will hold Hall back from doing and saying what he wants. It's always just a matter of "what will be next" when it comes to this childish cornerback.
5. Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning
This is a rivalry that has developed due solely to the elite level that both of these quarterbacks play at, game in and game out. Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning and New England Patriots QB Tom Brady came into the NFL at about the same time (Manning: 1998, Brady: 2000) and have consistently failed to disappoint throughout their careers.
Although New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is a product of the same era, Manning and Brady are the poster-boys of the quarterback position in this day and age. Brady does sport more Super Bowl rings than Manning (Brady: 3, Manning: 1), but it is largely ill-advised to rank one as the better quarterback.
Every time that the two of these future Hall-of-Famers take the field against each other, it is a must-watch contest that is likely to be on national television in a prime-time match-up. The games are usually intense shoot-outs, which are decided more by whoever makes the most mistakes, instead of who actually makes bigger plays.
The NFL record books are sure to be peppered with both of these stud's names forever, and once one retires from the game, a rivalry for the ages will be put to rest.
But until that day comes, I know that I will be tuned-in every Sunday when I know that Manning and Brady are facing off head-to-head.
4. Ndamukong Suh vs. Matt Schaub
Isn't Thanksgiving supposed to be a day of gratitude and thanks? Well, Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh sees it as a day to viciously kick opposing quarterbacks in the groin.
During the Week 12 Thanksgiving Day match-up between the Lions and the Houston Texans, Suh was caught on video kicking Texans QB Matt Schaub below the belt. Suh was being brought to the ground on the play, and was not looking at Schaub when the kick took place.
But just because he was not looking, I do not buy the notion that the kick was unintentional. On the replay, you can see Suh's foot slowing swing towards Schaub's groin area, and then upon contact, Suh extended his leg forcefully.
I do believe that Suh's foot did reach Schaub's groin accidentally, but the ensuing thrust of his leg was certainly an intentional, forceful movement. Suh's history also does not help his cause, as he stomped on the arm of Green Bay Packers OL Evan Dietrich-Smith last Thanksgiving day.
In an interview following the incident, Schaub ridiculed Suh and said that he is not "Houston Texan worthy" because of his style of play and tainted track record. We may not have seen the end of this rivalry, as the two involved still have plenty of time remaining in their careers.
3. Andre Johnson vs. Cortland Finnegan
Have you ever seen a mild-mannered, soft-spoken individual absolutely blow his top?
This is exactly what took place in 2010 when Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson unloaded a slew of hay-makers to the head of former Tennessee Titans CB Cortland Finnegan. After being provoked by Finnegan all game long, Johnson obviously had enough of his antics and decided to take matters into his own hands. Or fists, I should say.
After being repeatedly jabbed and whacked in the head by Finnegan all game long, Johnson decided enough was enough, and ripped off Finnegan's helmet. Finnegan then decided to remove Johnson's and fling it across the field. This was the last straw for Johnson.
The Texans' wide-out immediately starting swinging at Finnegan, where he connected on multiple blows before the melee was broken up.
Typically, Johnson would have looked like the aggressor, but due to Finnegan's reputation of provoking and baiting his opponents, nobody really blamed Johnson for his outburst. This rivalry has partially dissolved now that Finnegan is a member of the St. Louis Rams, so the two will no longer face off multiple times a year.
2. Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers
Now this is the definition of a rivalry between the young pup, and the ole gun-slinger. Now-retired QB Brett Favre made it very clear from the beginning that he did not feel any obligation to help Green Bay Packers teammate, QB Aaron Rodgers, adapt to the NFL when he entered the league in 2005.
Favre was never directly mean or abusive towards Rodgers, but he said that he didn't think he had to help mold the quarterback because he himself never had that kind of guidance.
To me, Favre just looked like a man in the midst of a mid-life crisis, who didn't want to accept the fact that his professional career was on the brink of extinction. And as we all know at this point, Favre was never sure of when to throw in the towel, as he officially retired 3 separate times.
This rivalry turned into a feud to be remembered when Rodgers quickly proved to be an exceptional quarterback himself, after taking the reins of the Packers' offense in 2008. Packers' fans still harbor great anger towards Favre, but are elated to have Rodgers at the helm as one of the best QBs in the NFL.
While both quarterbacks have one Super Bowl ring with the Packers, Rodgers already has a Super Bowl MVP to his name, something that Favre never accomplished. Rodgers also still has plenty of time to expand on his legacy, while Favre gets to watch his one-time backup from the couch.
1. Terrell Owens vs. His Own Quarterbacks
"I love me some me!"
Now there is a quote that will ring in the heads of every teammate, coach and fan that has ever interacted with, seen or heard the pompous, selfish, outspoken, boastful man that is Terrell Owens (T.O.).
T.O. believed that is was just too easy to form rivalries with opposing players, so he decided to take on the one person that he should have always had the closest, most positive relationship with. His own quarterback.
Owens' first quarterback feud came while he was a member of his initial suitor, the San Francisco 49ers. In an interview with Playboy magazine, Owens eluded to the idea that his own quarterback, Jeff Garcia, was a homosexual. It was widely believed that Owens wanted out of San Francisco, and this controversial assertion surely helped expedite the process.
Following a lengthy battle with the 49ers regarding his free-agent status, Owens finally jumped on-board with the Philadelphia Eagles, ready for a fresh start. But of course, it didn't take long for Owens to cause turmoil in his own locker-room once again.
Comically, his enemy chosen was again his own quarterback, Donovan McNabb. Following his first season with the Eagles, Owens made a comment that he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl," almost obviously referring to McNabb the year before in Super Bowl XXXIX.
An already shaky relationship completely unraveled when Owens continued to berate McNabb on the sidelines the next season, and Owens continued to voice his negative opinions on McNabb and the Eagles. Owens was suspended for the final four games of the 2005 season, and was subsequently released after just two years with the Eagles.
You would think that when Owens was signed by the Dallas Cowboys in 2006, he would learn to find an enemy on an opposing sideline. But of course he kept his spats in-house, with his QB, who this time was Tony Romo.
Owens kept it civil in Dallas, but still decided to run his mouth about how Romo wasn't looking his way enough in the passing game. Even though Owens kept his comments out of direct interviews, he still let the world know of his displeasure with Romo and the Cowboys.
Answering the prayers of most NFL quarterbacks, Owens is currently a free-agent. After one-year stints with the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, and a pre-season with the Seattle Seahawks this year, Owens looks to be finished competing.
But believe me, I'm sure this will not be the last we hear from the controversial, always grinning, T.O.

I mean how did the doors know when you wanted to go in or when you were walking by. Or did they actually press buttons to go in - I can't remember this being the case.
Maybe the Federation employs the same technology to make their doors work as the production company does to film them? Two guys stuck inside the bulkhead pulling on ropes, and someone outside to tell them "... and open it... NOW!" whenever someone approaches.

Age: 41; November 09, 1973
In the late '90s, Nick Lachey made a bold decision to drop out of Miami University in Ohio to join acquaintance Jeff Timmons in Los Angeles to start a vocal group. Once Justin Jeffre, and Nick's baby bro, Drew Lachey, came into the picture, the chemistry rose to dangerous temperatures and 98 Degrees was ignited.Perhaps what set this group of young heartthrobs apart from the rest was the fact that they wrote a lot of their own songs. While 98 Degrees achieved success around the world, the biggest win for Nick may have been scoring a date with mega pop star Jessica Simpson.After five long years of dating and Jessica reportedly saving herself for marriage, the couple finally tied the knot in 2002 at a chapel in Austin, Texas. Shortly after saying "I do," Nick and Jessica signed on to star in their own reality show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. Everyone seemed to love watching Nick with his shirt off, and Jessica asking hard-hitting questions such as, "Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish," referring to a can of Chicken of the Sea brand tuna fish. Unfortunately, their marriage (and show) came to an end in 2005.The next year Lachey released his second solo album, What's Left of Me, and began dating MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo, who had appeared in Nick's music video from the record. Five years later, Nick and Vanessa flew 35 of their favorite people to Sir Richard Branson's private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands for a very romantic wedding ceremony. The Lacheys didn't waste time to start a family and welcomed son Camden John on September 12, 2012.Just because Lachey started a family doesn't mean he's ready to cool down. After a ten-year hiatus, the grown men of 98 Degrees reunited to record a new album and go on tour.
