With BreyerFest coming up in a few months, she is wanting to check their website every few days. So, that is working as a motivator. I think I might have to start using audiobooks. This kid can't pee without her audiobook with her. Sheesh.

Oh, and we have kid neighbors! She loves to play with the girl (she's 6 or 7), so that might end up as a motivator as well, except she isn't always available to play.

External motivators work! Otherwise there would be a lot more job vacancies.

The Girl Scout meeting that we tried out was a (not sure if there are more) homeschool group. They were a bit of a drive, so we might see what we can find closer to home. We might try again in the fall, but she may end up trying 4H again, she isn't sure yet. Her riding instructor (who is FREAKING AMAZING! Finally) was a Girl Scout, so that might sway her in that direction.

It also doesn't help probably, but last year I lost one of my favorite people too. A guy friend. One who always knew what to do and say. One I figured I wouldn't have to live without....and living without him sucks a bunch. So, I can't truly understand your circumstances, but I can easily imagine the suckiness and I am sorry for you about that. I am glad you said the fuck word. Because it's important to cuss for emphasis sometimes. And your friend sounds super fucking awesome! I think you are super fucking awesome and hope maybe you will let me be near you sometime soon. As, I always enjoy listening to you talk, & if you want to talk...I am here.

And it has to be something that the kid WILL want to do. The kid doesn't get her school done that day? Totes fine, but the fun thing doesn't get done, either. The next day, to do the fun thing, she has to do that day's work AND finish the previous day's work. For Syd, it's screen time, because she has some big Minecraft projects going on. For Will, it's the library. It worried me for a while that I was putting external motivations on them, but it works, and I also enjoy "rewarding" myself for getting stuff done, so... eh.

We did Juliettes for a year or so, and then were able to convince so many of the girls' friends to become Girl Scouts, too, that I was able to start my own troop! Do any of the girls in the homeschooling circles there do Girl Scouts?

I should have picked up the soil I need to finish my beds yesterday (when it would be dry and lighter), but my back needed a break from all the shoveling and lifting of heavy things. I suppose it isn't to big a deal, considering I haven't even started any seeds yet. Oops.

I think we will be trying out Girl Scouts next year. How did you pick a Girl Scout Troop? We went to a meeting a month or so ago, but I wasn't really impressed. What types of things should we be looking for in a troop?

So last week the kid tells me she thinks she is dumber than the kids in public school. WHAT!? We had a big discussion about it, I asked if thought she would be better off going to school (which was an big no), and on and on. We talked about revving up our school work and she agreed to it. The hubby gave her a math test for her grade level and she did amazing. The next day when I told her to get started on her math, she threw a fit. sigh. I have no patience for fits, so no school got done. Then it's been so nice outside that we have been busy trying to get our garden beds set up.

Then this morning when I tell her to get started on her math, she tells me she would rather clean the house. Really? Fine.

And now I am done complaining.

I shudder to think what would happen if I just randomly surfed YouTube as well.

However, we do love the Art Hub for Kids YouTube channel. He has some minecraft drawing tutorials, as well as a realistic horse tutorial, MLP tutorials, etc. that are all pretty easy for the kiddos to follow.

Google Operating System
Google Translate Autocomplete
Google Translate's site for desktop and mobile now shows suggestions and autocompletes your text, much like Google Search. This works for English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, but you have to manually pick the input language instead of relying on automatic detection.
The new feature helps you translate faster common phrases, words and expressions, but it's not very useful for long texts.
For example, I picked French as the input language, typed "k" and one of the suggestions was "kinésithérapeute", which means "physiotherapist".
It also works when you use the mobile site:

The Ever-Expanding Knowledge Graph Cards
Sometimes Google's Knowledge Graph cards use more real estate than all the other search results combined. I've searched for [from Paris with love] in the experimental mobile-like desktop interface and got a huge card with images, information about the movie, ratings, cast. Then Google displayed 10 search results and 3 other cards with John Travolta movies, Luc Besson movies and action movies, followed by another list of related searches.
Somehow, the list of search results felt like a placeholder for future Knowledge Graph enhancements. Here's the entire page:

Google experiments with a desktop search UI that looks more like the mobile interface. The experiment uses the same white cards on a gray background for both search results and ads.
When the card-style layout was launched for the mobile site back in 2013, Google mentioned that the new look was "cleaner and simpler, optimized for touch, with results clustered on cards so you can focus on the answers you're looking for".

Embperl and Databases
Those who have read more than a few of my "At the Forge" columns know that I am a great fan of HTML/Perl templates, which allow us to mix the two in a single document. In October, I introduced Embperl, a templating system that can function as a stand-alone CGI program, but can also be integrated into the mod_perl module for Apache. This month we will take a closer look at Embperl, exploring ways in which it can allow us to edit records in a database.
There are a number of good reasons to use templates. First of all, by putting code and design in the same document, designers and programmers can each modify the elements for which they are responsible. No longer is the programmer the bottleneck when a site decides to change its design, as is the case when dynamic output is produced by CGI programs.
Even when you are unlikely to change the look of a dynamically generated HTML page, Embperl (and similar in-line templating mechanisms that allow you to mix code and HTML) enables you to stick it all together, making the logic easier to follow. I have written many CGI programs in which the dynamic output was dwarfed by the static output—but because even one portion of the resulting HTML page had to change over time, the entire thing had to be within the province of the program.
Since the time I wrote October's introduction to Embperl, the package has been improved significantly. Perhaps the most significant change is that recent releases of Apache 1.3.1 and mod_perl 1.15 free you from having to recompile everything when installing a new version of Embperl. Now, Embperl can be installed and upgraded separately from Apache and mod_perl, just as you install and upgrade other Perl packages from CPAN. Please see the "Resources" sidebar to learn where to obtain the latest information, including installation instructions, on Apache, mod_perl and Embperl.
Databases are an increasingly important part of the Web. Using them, we can create customized and personalized sites, bringing people the specific information they want, rather than simply handing them all the information we have.
In addition, databases are designed to store and retrieve information easily. If text files and DBM files are too insecure or unstructured for your needs, consider using a relational database. Relational databases store their information in tables, where each table has columns (describing the various fields) and rows (with one record stored per row). Using multiple tables is where the "relational" part comes in, and it can be an extremely powerful tool. You could probably program this functionality on your own, but doing so would be quite complicated—and besides, someone has already done the work for you.
Relational databases are manipulated using SQL, the Structured Query Language developed by IBM in the 1970s. You don't write programs in SQL; instead, you write "queries" that manipulate one or more tables. Using SQL, you can create tables, modify their contents and request combinations of columns and rows containing particular types and pieces of data.
SQL is not a programming language, so it must be created and submitted to a database server by a programming language. In the past, each database product required its own version of Perl in order to allow access; this led to versions known as Oraperl, Sybperl, et al. Recently, the generic DBI (database interface) has produced a stable and portable database engine that allows access to any relational database with the same interface. The database-specific parts are kept in DBDs (database drivers) loaded dynamically by DBI. Assuming you stick to standard SQL rather than database vendors' proprietary extensions, you should be able to switch database brands by modifying a single Perl statement.
The relational database I use in these examples is MySQL, described by its author as a "mostly free" database. I have been using MySQL for quite some time now, and while it does not have all the optimization and locking features of its larger competitors, it performs admirably—and more features are on the way. For more information on MySQL, see the "Resources" sidebar.
Once you have installed Embperl, you need to tell Apache which documents should be interpreted with Embperl rather than as a straight HTML document. On my computer (running a modified version of Red Hat Linux 5.1), I put the following in the srm.conf configuration file:
Alias /embperl/ /usr/local/apache/share/embperl/
In addition, I put the following in the access.conf configuration file:
<Location /embperl> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Embperl Options ExecCGI </Location>In other words, I told Apache that any URL beginning with /embperl refers to files actually in /usr/local/apache/share/embperl, and that any files in /embperl should be interpreted by the HTML::Embperl content handler. After restarting Apache, Embperl was up and ready to run.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model.

Being a one-of-a-kind non-point-and-click MMORPG, Tartaros truly shines in the Action MMO genre. This game can be played purely by using a keyboard, and uses a top-down isometric view during combat. Additionally, this game's story plays a big role in how you play the game - the farther along the story you progress, the more characters become unlocked for you to use, and train at your leisure. Best of all, every character in this game is fully voiced, including NPCs!

It looked fun, so I tried to sign up for the Korean version...But they asked me for a credit card or Korean cellphone verification, so I couldn't play. T^T but it looks fun anyhow. 5/10
seems like a good game... looking forward to it
Someone seriously play this game, it's b3st
Played it. It was alright. It's similar to Grand Chase as you can unlock and collect a variety of characters then use any of them whenever you wish. However, it's not a sidescroller and the gameplay is like your typical 3D MMORPG.

About Orvis
With Orvis coupons, you can stay warm and dry on a predawn fly-fishing trip—without abandoning a sharp sense of style. Half fly-fishing and hunting gear, half clothes and home goods, Orvis's inventory dresses men, women, and dogs whether they're headed outdoors for a camping trip or staying inside on a rainy day. Apparel includes cashmere sweaters, boots, and khakis. For sportsmen it offers waders and rods; duffels and dog crates; even orange-accented vests and high-powered binoculars. After a long, chilly day in the woods, adventurers sink into Orvis bedding beside a fire stoked with aromatic fatwood—harvested exclusively from pinewood stumps for planet-friendly flames.
It was 1856 when Charles Orvis started to make his surname synonymous with specialty gear as fashion forward as it is snug and rugged. Today, his Vermont-based company also runs schools that teach outdoorsy pastimes, like long-form improv with bears, and has worked extensively with conservation groups, such as the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and World Wildlife Federation. Orvis's commitment to the outdoor lifestyle is literally historical—in 1874 the industrious Charles invented his very own fly reel, and historians have since come to consider the endeavor a "benchmark of American reel design."
With an Orvis coupon you can reel in rugged fashions for the whole family—including Fido. Orvis understands that dogs are more than just best friends. For the hunting and fishing set, they lend their speed, senses, and voices in the common cause of running around the woods sniffing and yelling at stuff. Keep them comfy on the trail with a selection of doggy coats and reward their efforts with a slew of cozy in-home necessities. Toys, collars, and leashes line Orvis's shelves as well as extra-plush beds, available with memory-foam innards and chew-resistant covers that will finally give Rover a reason not to sleep diagonally across your entire bed for a change.
If you're ready to stock your wardrobe with basics and face the elements head-on, an Orvis coupon code can be just the ticket. Look below for discounts on the store's gear, clothes, and home wares.

Who do you want to tell this great news to? Your boss? Significant other? Presto! Pre-constructed text message sent!
But the app doesn't want to just help you quit your job, it wants to help you realize your dream one! After you submit your "so long, farewell" message, the app provides a link to a recruitment site to aid you in your new search.

School shooting in Finland treated as breaking news in Denver
Nine people have reportedly died in a shooting at the Kauhajoki, Finland school seen here.
During their 5:30 a.m. news segment, channels 4 and 9 announced a "BREAKING NEWS" item -- but as it turned out, the news broke a long way from here. It involved reports of a school shooting in Kauhajoki, Finland, a community 180 miles northwest of Helsinki, that left nine people dead.
Should this incident have warranted the treatment it got in Denver? Well, these days, TV news programs frequently trot out their breaking-news graphics for events that take place nationally or internationally -- but usually only when there's a gripping live shot of a fire, an ongoing hostage standoff or the like. In this case, however, no video was available -- just the still photo of the school, seen above. Yet every local viewer undoubtedly understood why the broadcasters jumped on the story so quickly: the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School. And indeed, there's a potential Columbine link to the Finnish tragedy, albeit a minor one.
The connection? Media outlets in Finland have associated YouTube clips of a man firing a gun with the killings -- and the user listed footage from Columbine among his favorite videos.
Of course, even if this factoid hadn't surfaced in early reports, the stations would have made the leap themselves. That's the way it's been for nearly a decade. Even though far too many school shootings have happened since then, including the Virginia Tech assaults of a couple years back that yielded an even more horrific body count, "Columbine" remains the first word that comes to mind whenever a school shooting takes place -- especially in these parts.
Outlets from elsewhere kept the attack in perspective. During National Public Radio's 6 a.m. news update, for instance, the Kauhajoki report was the very last item in the segment. On Denver TV, however, it moved right to the top of the charts. -- Michael Roberts

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
As Libyan transitional leaders make preparations for the burial of slain former leader Moammar Gadhafi, the U.N. human rights office is calling for an investigation into whether international human rights laws were followed during Gadhafi's capture and killing.
"We believe there is a need for an investigation," U.N. human rights spokesperson Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva. "More details are needed to ascertain whether he was killed in some form of fighting or was executed after his capture."
Gadhafi was killed Thursday after rebels captured him in his hometown of Sirte. The U.N. Human Rights Council previously sent an envoy to Libya to investigate claims of human rights abuses occurring in the country. Coleville said this same mission would also look into Gadhafi's death.
"It is a fundamental principle of international law that people accused of serious crimes should, if possible, be tried. Summary executions are strictly illegal. It is different if someone is killed in combat," Coleville told Reuters Television.
The U.N. is not the only international body interested in gathering details about Gadhafi's death.
According to Islamic law, Gadhafi must be buried within 24 hours; however, reports say that the government officials are waiting for representatives from International Criminal Court to come and examine the body. The court says that it needs official confirmation of Gadhafi's death before they can formally withdraw his indictment.

He seems to be more comfortable at end. Valles' size (6'5, 251) and frame will allow him to gain 20-25 pounds effectively. Max is apparently psychic. Who doesn't want to be a Raider...
How Twitter reacted to the Raiders selecting Max Valles
In the 6th round, the Oakland Raiders held the 3rd pick (179th overall) and they drafted Max Valles, a linebacker out of University of Virginia. He is said to be an athlete and not yet a football player, but if things start to click for him, then he'll be amazing. It's said that if things don't click for him, a team will wind up with a backup defensive end. And taking a look...
Virginia's Max Valles should be a late-round selection
Former Virginia linebacker Max Valles' decision to enter the draft came two seasons early, so it's easy to understand why NFL teams are reluctant to make him a major investment. Even though Valles led the Cavaliers in sacks last season, ESPN draft expert Todd McShay left him off his lest of the top 300 prospects, according to Andrew Ramspacher of Cavalier Insider."I got him [going...

Supply and Demand: Behind the Scenes of Retail Pricing
How consumer input affects the price of everything you buy.
By: Seth Macy October 7, 2011
Let's take a trip back in time. Not too far; just 2006. America's economy was zipping along at a frenetic pace. The price of real estate rose exponentially, and if you tried to tell someone that the market wasn't sustainable, they would laugh in your face. Sony began gearing up for the release of the PlayStation 3, and if you spent any time on the Internet, you probably witnessed an argument or two concerning the $599 price tag for the more feature-rich of the system's two models. The two sides of the argument generally boiled down to "it cost too much" versus "it's a great value." And you know what? Both sides were correct.
The fact that the PS3 cost more than the sum of its parts could be proven by gathering together the prices of similar, individual pieces (most Blu-Ray players at the time were still more expensive than the PS3, with none of the extra features). This much was undeniable. However, value is a wholly subjective notion and decided by consumers. If a consumer sees value in a product such as the PS3, then they decide that the price is just. If not, they simply don't buy it, buy a substitute product, or wait until the price comes down to a level they feel is acceptable. This is known in economics as the subjective theory of value.
"The labor theory of value," say Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Maine Michael Montgomery, "is a very old and very popular idea going back to medieval economic scholars." The labor theory of value holds that prices are set objectively, the so-called "just-price," where the price is set based on how much labor goes into producing the good. However, the subjective theory of value postulates that "the good is worth exactly as much as you're willing to pay for it, and the cost of producing the goods may bear little or no relationship with the item's value in the mind of the buyer." A good example of both of these theories in action is the Nintendo 3DS. There was a bit of a hub-bub when it was alleged that the 3DS cost just around $100 to build. Under the labor theory of value, then, the 3DS is worth only around $100, or how much labor goes into producing a single unit.
Of course, it's a little grey when you take into account things like research and development, distribution, and marketing, which add to costs for Nintendo, but the recent price drop to $169 goes to show that the initial price of $249 was considered too high by many consumers. At the individual level, consumers decided that the value of the device was less than the manufacturer's suggested retail price, and sales of the device were certainly not as brisk as Nintendo had hoped -- hence the drop in price. "In a capitalist system," says Professor Montgomery, "a good is worth exactly what people are willing to pay for it, no more and no less. [Companies] speculate by putting their time and energy into things, but sometimes they don't pan out. Sometimes they pan out above their wildest dreams."
If the 3DS fails to capture the attention of consumers at its new price, it would mean quite a loss for Nintendo. Such is the nature of markets. Consumers, meaning you and I, ultimately have the last say as to whether or not a product will be successful. It remains to be seen whether the 3DS will succeed or fail, but if Nintendo moves a significant amount of units in the busy Q4 of this year, the initial lukewarm reception to the device could be pinned less on consumer disinterest in the product itself and more on the disinterest of consumers at the $249 price point. Time will tell.
The price of games are also subject to the whims of consumer subjectivity. The term "bargain bin" can be considered a slur when attached to certain titles. That's because most bargain bins are filled with two types of games: ones that are very old, and ones that aren't very good. Naturally, there are exceptions; some games can be good but still be unpopular, for example. They find their way from the shelves of the retailers into the bins as a way to unload excess inventory. Here, supply and demand -- one of the most basic of economic concepts -- comes into play. Demand for a title is low, therefore the price drops. If we lived in a society where all prices were negotiable we could go in and name our price, haggle with the shopkeeper for a bit, and walk away from the transaction with a price agreed upon by both parties.
Since that model doesn't exist in most retail environments, it's up to the retailer to set a price that's desirable. It's up to the consumer to send signals to the retailer that the price is acceptable or not through his or her purchasing habits. When demand falls, so falls price. All of those titles in the bargain bin are there because demand is low and the retailer is trying to sell them at a price close to the equilibrium price; basically, the hypothetical price where the supply curve and the demand curve meet.
In some cases, these titles may be priced for less than the cost to the retailers in an attempt to liquidate inventory, to make room for newer and perhaps better selling titles. There's another cost tied in with having these unwanted titles taking up room in a store: opportunity cost; in other words, the cost of the next best alternative. If you run a game shop and have an entire rack of space devoted to games that aren't selling, your opportunity cost is the money you could be making by stocking that space with titles you know will sell. Looking at it from that perspective, you can see why a store would sell something for perhaps less than they paid for it; they could be making more money simply by clearing up room for a better product.
The Internet is a great place for people to come together and complain. Many gripe that the price of games for this generation is too high, that $60 for a title is ridiculous. Taking in the costs associated with developing a game is part of the pricing for manufacturers, but after that it's in the hands of the consumer. "These are goods where there's a tremendous amount of startup cost, where you have to put in a tremendous amount of intellectual labor, a tremendous amount of cooperation with other workers, a tremendous amount of debugging," says Montgomery, "but once you put the thing out it's costless."
The cost difference between producing one copy of the game or producing a million copies of the game is insignificant, bound only by the price of the physical media itself, whether it be DVD or Blu-Ray or cartridge. People who feel that $60 is too much have many alternatives in today's market, whether it be buying the game second-hand or waiting for a deal on the game, or just waiting it out until the popularity has waned and the price drops. Whether we know it or not, most of us subscribe to the subjective theory of value when we declare a game costs too much. Even if we decide a title or console is worth every penny it costs at launch, we're making a conscious valuation of the good and expressing our opinion through our purchase. Believe it or not, when it comes to determining value, you're always right... and so is the person who says you're wrong.

Excellent article, but...Posted: Oct 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by SalomeHarras
I applaud 1up's attempt to educate the masses on the basic economic principles that run the market (video games included), however, you can't explain the price of a product purely thorugh economic terms, you have to go into cost accounting for that. What a lot of people don't realize is that the cost of materials to make a product is not the sole expense incurred by the company making that product, you have to take into consideration labor costs (more then you think), miscellaneous expenses, administrative expenses, marketing expenses, and of course, the eventual profit margin that the company would like to make on a product (otherwise it is pointless to pursue it, these are not non-profits).
As for the price of games being too high, have people really forgotten about the SNES/N64 era? There was no uniform price structure in place back then, and you would have some games (some really great games I might note) that cost significantly more than games do today, without even factoring inflation into the process. The legitimate argument on the other hand, is that consumers feel that they aren't getting enough value for their money, but that is a problem that stems much deeper than most people think.
They did and 2Posted: Oct 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by Greendewey
1. The article specifically explained that the price of the product is more than the cost of materials. They mentioned specifically R&D, marketing and labor.
2. The cost of video games 15 years ago is irrelevant to the belief that $60 is too much money for a game now. Many, many factors have changed since then. One of the most important ones is consuemr attitude. If the buyer does not percieve the product as being worth the cost then it is not.
Just as the worth of a home now may still be a great deal, it is only worth what someone will pay for it. Market value vs assessed or actual value.
DemandPosted: Oct 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sandpark
The ps3 would have sold lots even at the launch price point if not for two reasons.
1.They still supported the ps2 with a 100mil installed base. So ps3 having ps2 backward compatabilty was kind of moot.
2.Emulators. I am glad they exist because publishers never support every game years later. And sooner or later the original platforms die. But if they didn't exist the demand for backwards compatibility would have been much higher in the ps3.

As a Student of EconomicsPosted: Oct 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by AquinasD
Great article.
But I think this should be the start of a series on video game prices and the success of certain franchises that you either hate to love or love to hate.
For example, everyone hates on the Madden franchise (even I think there is something wrong with people who keep buying the same game every year), but then who wouldn't love to be in the position of selling a product that requires minimal upkeep after the initial investment and always gives huge profits? And if that's what Madden is, how could you expect for its publishers to stop riding that cash cow all the way home?
Developing the subjective theory of value in greater detail, it is easy to point out that, for those people who like to play football in video games and organize a league where they play with others and have a big winner at the end, $60 might not actually be a lot of money for that type of enjoyment. If you compare that price to other comparable products (i.e. fantasy football, putting time and money into other competitive pursuits), $60 is quite a bit less.
That said, I hope there will be further development on this, especially in regards to the "mainstream" AAA titles and the "indie" "artsy" titles.
The future...Posted: Oct 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheMightyBlot
I think we're starting to see the future in this generation of games, where the cost to produce, press, and shelve AAA games leads to the "mainstreamization" of major titles, in which you try to appeal to as many people as you can as quickly as you can. These games can retail for $60 because people are willing to pay for them, and the companies that produce them will make sure they milk the cow of that franchise for as long as they can. On the other side of that coin, cheaper to produce downloadable games will see artistry being pushed harder than broad appeal. Since they cost less to produce, they can make their money back with fewer copies sold, so you don't need to cater to everyone, just those that find value in your product.
This is a really good article in spelling out the economics of "big budget" gaming, but it ignores that second facet, the smaller budgeted games that have fewer employees to pay, and thus can be catered directly to smaller, but loyal, audiences. In these cases, a game's value is less in pure numbers, and more in the experience it delivers to the small group it draws. The kind of loyalty an "indie" game can draw for the developer can pay dividends for a much longer time than catering to a huge pool and hoping they stick around for the inevitable sequel.
bargin bin baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted: Oct 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by kittenkilla
i only buy used. i mean come on. buying a game new on day one you're buying hype.and most sequels look and play like the one before it.
Market demand...Posted: Oct 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by nipsen
"Even if we decide a title or console is worth every penny it costs at launch, we're making a conscious valuation of the good and expressing our opinion through our purchase. "
..And if we don't want to pay "full price" for an arbitrarily priced game - the publisher will extort us by swamping the market with first person shooters. Then if the titles sell after all - that means it's time to change the game to become more of a generic first person shooter, in order to maximize the potential of the franchise.
It's the perfect system, really.
Missed the pointPosted: Oct 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by 6StringSamurai
Still you missed the point. Regardless of what you think or believe, it's still a free market. You can't be extorted if you choose to pay the price and buy the product.

BlehPosted: Oct 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
The only thing that depicts the value of a product is what the consumer is willing to pay for it. Considering consumers vary that's why old game developers use to just make the game THEY wanted to and make it the best they could, now'a'days these pansies have to find a demographic just to make a game and that IS NOT GAMING.
Games use to be about the passion and the creative abilities of the developer, which is what made good games. Unfortunately soul-less shill suits from hollow-wood have invaded the gaming industry which has turned it into what hollowwood is - pointlessly making things simply for revenue/profit.
Point is, you can't judge the market simply by who buys and who doesn't - because there are always idiots out there who buy AND complain regardless of the problems with the product. Probably why things have gotten out of hand, corporations don't get honest feedback so they think their shoddy product is good just because it has high sales. Free market sucks ass, Fair market is what we should have. No worries though because no one in this country is doing the right thing (and never will) so we are all doomed irregardless of what is discussed anymore. Everyone can thank the republican'ts for destroying the country for their own political ambitions. If you don't hate republican'ts then you are a war criminal hethen commiting treason just like them.
Debbie DownerPosted: Oct 08, 2011 12:00AM PST by chi_chi_felipe
Explain "fair market" and how it applies to video gaming.
Economics IS "honest feedback" in corporationsPosted: Oct 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheMightyBlot
In economics, high sales IS the honest feedback.
"I created Item X, which I'm selling at Pricepoint Y. You, as a consumer, buy that product at Pricepoint Y if you think it is worth it, or turn away if you think it's too much."
Quality control will always catch up with you, and if you continually crank out products that consumers don't want, at prices they won't pay, you'll go out of business. Now, that isn't to say that you're not right from an artistic standpoint, but for as much as we love the idea of video games as "art", there is a much bigger crowd that just wants to be entertained. It's why Transformers 3 makes a billion dollars, while more thoughtful films are lucky to crest ten million.

Interesting article and a good read. And these kids whining about $50-60 games need to take a trip back to the 16 bit generation, when we would be paying $70-90 for a AAA title like Chrono Trigger or Phantasy Star IV.
Different timesPosted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by imercenary
AAA titles like Chrono Trigger or Phantasy Star IV also sold laughably few numbers and were incredibly difficult to find after release compared to the AAA titles of this generation. Between the SNES AND PS1 releases, Chrono Trigger shipped about 2 million units worldwide. New Super Mario Bros has shipped over 20 million units worldwide.
Different times, different standards, different conditions.
Did you even read the artical imercenary?Posted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by JOYFUL_NOISE
It has nothing to do with the times being different and the conditions and standards are the same. These economic theories have been around a lot longer then video games. Chrono trigger costing $90 has more to do with "the good is worth exactly as much as you're willing to pay for it, and the cost of producing the goods may bear little or no relationship with the item's value in the mind of the buyer." Supply and Demand.
Renting / BuyingPosted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by challenge9000
I'm at the point now where I'm seriously thinking of renting more games instead of buying them. It was crazy cause I was up to 100+ games purchased for my 360 and PS3. When Warhammer Space Marine came out I rented it and finished it in 5 days (played casually now and again). Also I just finished Uncharted 1 and 2 in two days lol. I'm still debating on whether to rent or buy Uncharted 3...
definitelyPosted: Oct 07, 2011 12:00AM PST by SuperSledge
I always like to wait on games I'm unsure of or games that are short or games that review poorly. To me a game's value boils down to how much time I spend playing it versus how much I paid for it. One aspect that I've noticed doesn't diminish as well is dlc. To me something is wrong when you're paying $10 for a dlc for a game you paid $20 for. The economics don't seem to work on dlc since it isn't physically taking up space on store shelves.

No no no no no no! You need to know which player is playing which character before you vote! Right, try this.
There is a player on EB called Dragons-are-awesome. He is playing the character called Bob. Nobody know this. This means dragon-slayer, another character, cannot vote for him, as he does not know his character.
Nor can Dragons-are-awesome vote for Ragnir, another character, as he does not know who is playing that character.
For dragon-slayer to be able to vote for Dragons-are-awesome, he must first find out what character he is playing, or vice versa. Therefore when Dragons-are-awesome finds out that dragon-slayer is playing the character of Mark the dragonslayer, he can vote for him, but dragon-slayer cannot vote back.
So basically, to vote for someone, you have to be able to say Vote: dragon-slayer (Mark the dragonslayer). You cannot just say Vote: dragon-slayer or Vote: Mark the dragonslayer, as you need to know who he is playing/who is playing the character.
Get it? That is what I've been saying all along... I think...
You know I'm just as cnfused as you are, but lets go with that shall we.

text: The SCOTUS ruling to legalize same-sex marriage is a victory for human rights. The decision follows in the footsteps of its 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia that outlawed states' bans on interracial marriage, an earlier victory for marriage equality. But there is a huge difference in the two rulings.

To people unfamiliar with the length and breadth of Jamaica, places such as Kingston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril and Portland usually spring to mind.

The parish, originally dubbed Villa de la Vega, was founded by […]More

"Prepare your minds and hearts for this revolution." - Chronixx
Jamaican musician Chronixx has ignited a torch in people's hearts the world over and is confidently lighting the path for an entire generation of youths to rediscover roots and culture.
Born Jamar Rolando McNaughton on October 10, 1992, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, dancehall artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton and Gregory Isaacs. His remarkable ascension in the music industry began in the background; harmonizing for artists such as Lutan Fyah and providing production assistance for tracks sung by Popcaan, Konshens and others.
Today, Chronixx is a respected artist in his own right after his career was stimulated by the unfortunate passing of both his blood brother in 2007 and his brother-in-arms, Lil' J.O.E., in 2010. The first EP, Hooked on Chronixx, was released in 2011 and immediately put the budding artist on the radar of music lovers and industry heads alike with 'Start A Fyah,' 'Warrior' and breakout single 'Behind Curtain' standing out as a fan favorites far beyond Jamaican shores.
The Dread & Terrible Project was released in April 2014 - a set comprised of seven tracks plus three dub versions - immediately topping the Billboard (US) and iTunes reggae charts in both UK and Japan. Neither an album nor an EP, the Project includes the widely received 'Capture Land' and a short film based on one of its tracks, 'Rastaman Wheel Out' (directed by Ras Kassa), to critical acclaim.
Hit single 'Here Comes Trouble' captured late night American TV presenter Jimmy Fallon's attention while on vacation in Jamaica. The chance encounter lead to a personal request for the young musician to perform live on Fallon's TV show in July 2014. A concert held in Central Park the following week was a roadblock affair from the outset, thousands of attendees turned out including Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger celebrating his 71st birthday.
Chronixx toured for the first time in 2013 when he went to Europe with his own band Zincfence Redemption. He has since embarked on solo tours from the Americas to the Oceanic region; including sold out shows in New York (Irving Plaza), three shows in London (including Somerset House), Trinidad & Tobago, Australia, Canada, and being the first band to do a 2-part tour of Jamaica (Capture Land Tour).
With so much accomplished in such short time, the world is bracing for greater wonders from this young man who walks with an old soul. For Chronixx himself, music is a mission and history is being made everyday still.
