Chukwuebuka I.wrote a review of Canada Goose Freestyle Down Vest - Men's on December 6, 2010
Great Investment
This jacket fits true to size. im 6'2'' 203lbs and the XL fits perfect, room for a hood or sweater underneath, if you get a XXL expect it to float in the back when not zippered up because your body doesn't fill it out. The collar is amazing, full neck protection i doubt you would need a scarf while wearing this vest. This vest is really solid. Warm, durable, stylish, and very well crafted. I like pockets and this vest has alot of it. You cant go wrong with this vest.

The TaylorMade RocketBladez iron has been launched with much fanfare, but that is OK when there is a significant technical improvement. In this case it is the speed pocket on the sole of the club which allows the face to flex more to generate more ball speed and hence distance.
The other main benefit is more forgiveness and TaylorMade say that in comparison to previous distance irons, there are less hot spots where the ball goes further off one part of the face than another. Certainly when we tried them the iron was very forgiving right across the face and the feel was excellent. You hardly ever got the feeling that you had mis-hit the TaylorMade RocketBladez iron as it always felt good and even strikes that were near thins, felt and flew much like a normal shot.
The speed pocket only features in the 3-7 irons and then they go to more traditional cavity backs. Normally this is where we get worried as the short irons in a cast distance set are well it all falls down.

Bring Back Mixtape Nicki Minaj !!
on 6/26/2011
This album is soooo disappointing. If you are a heterosexual male, chance are you will NOT like this album. That is where Nicki failed miserably- She put out a Top 40 pop album and wants to be considered Queen of Hip Hop? That just diminshes everything artists like Foxy, Eve, Trina, Lil Kim, Lauryn Hill, Rah Digga established themselves as. I feel this album should be labled hip-pop. Nicki also has better collaborations that individual songs..

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 44 reviews
My wife and I booked 3 nights last week to attend a special school reunion locally, having left school some 50 years ago. I recall staying at The Black Lion previously, but had forgotten that there is no lift (elevator) and the rooms are on the upper 3 floors. We had stayed elsewhere in the UK for the previous week, so had a lot of luggage. We managed to negotiate staying in a room only 1 floor up, but there was little help available to help carry luggage! The room was small but adequate; no fridge and there was extensive black mold around the bathtub sealant. Also, if you need a hairdryer, you have to ask reception; one is not automatically provided. Will not re-book at this hotel.
The staff were helpful and friendly and our dogs were very welcome. The food was excellent. We would be happy to stay here again.
Room and was comfortable and warm. Breakfast was good.
This was our staging post for a family celebration elsewhere in Richmond. The location and facilities precisely fitted our requirements. Clean room, comfortable beds, excellent breakfast, good beer and on-site parking (essential in this busy market town). Wi-Fi was only available in the public areas - it didn't work in our rooms, which was a bit of a nuisance. Otherwise I have no criticisms.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Days dry in my weather
Try not me either;
I'll search the moon,
And ask the sun
To come on their own;
Will is my spirit
Take thy my hand
And high as air you can;
I drop my mettle here
Can you hear it there?
Touch the sky if you won't;
Try not to kneel,
Its alter.
Give the blow,
And take the stroke,
Hand to hand
Backing then
This is the end,
I Forfeit;
But you know
Satisfaction came grown.

I'm addicted to shoe polish!
730 Attachment(s)
Soooo to import my boots into New Zealand, they have to be so spotless.. very sterile and clean! So my dad helped me pick out some saddle soap, leather lotion.. and brown shoe polish.
Let's just say I had a little bit too much fun.. I spent over 3 hours on my boots this morning, and 2 more this afternoon just polishing them up really nicely!
I want black shoe polish to do my saddle when I get back... >: )
very nice boots

That's so cool!
So what brings you to our land of the long white cloud lol

We have not to construct human nature afresh, but to take it as we find it, and make the best of it.Dinah Maria Mulock Craik
To find multiple individuals caught in the act of some interaction that was critical to their lifestyle -- [it] gives you just an extra dimension that isn't usually there.Dan Fisher
Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up, as did men of another age, to the challenge of nature. Modern man lives in a highly synthetic kind of existence. He specializes in this and that. Rarely does he test all his powers or find himself whole. But in the hills and on the water the character of a man comes out.Abram T. Collier
What we aim to do is calm the spirit and get in touch with the source from which everything comes, removing any trace of malice or egotism. If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, youll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.Paulo Coelho
There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behaves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.James Truslow Adams
I do not find the supposed scientific consensus among my colleagues. Curiously, it is a feature of man-made global warming that every fact confirms it: rising temperatures or decreasing temperatures. No matter what the weather, some model of global warming offers a watertight explanation.Javier Cuadros
This world is suchier than we are, and the best thing to do is keep moving and find your keys.Daniel Handler
For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance.Nick Rahall
Enthusiasm is achieved chiefly by means of provocations. In these cases, something inside of us resonates vibrantly with something outside. / The form of the provocationbe it book, music, sporting event, conversationmatters insofar as it might help to us find these sources of resonance.Carson Cistulli
One may dislike Hitler's system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
We shall find no fiend in hell can match the fury of a disappointed woman,scorned, slighted, dismissed without a parting pang.Colley Cibber
Observe your enemies, for they first find out your faults.Antisthenes
There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.Martin Luther King Jr

We changed course this morning. Now we are headed direct north as we have enough easting "in the bank". This means that the wind is hitting us from behind the beam. It is a subtle difference, but the effect is dramatic. All of the hard work and bouncing around of yesterday had suddenly calmed considerably. Is it now a nicer ride, relatively speaking. The air is getting warmer. It was 21C in the cockpit this morning. Another nice.
Our speed is around 7 knots, the wind is about 25 knots, the sky has plenty of blue, so your crew is happy and thankful.
I think it is time now to talk about food and life underway. We new some people once who went cruising, kept a blog, and the only thing they ever wrote about was what they ate. "He had the salmon, I had the salad, etc, etc. Beyond boring. Well then, may I present: The Food Report, done in "Your Rock and Roll Argonauts" style. Elisabeth is German, and in Germany, life starts with bread. Not the white pillow style bread popular in the US and Mexico. No sir, proper bread must have weight, heft, and substance. All of the German yachties we have met bake their own on board. So then, for this morning's breakfast, I had a slice of Elisabeth's boat-home baked bread with English bitter marmelade. Mmmm, mmmmm.
Now you must remember that we are "on passage". This means that we are on the high seas on a small boat that is bouncing around, especially now. We are dealing with some pretty big and rough waves, so cooking is a pain. Bring in the camping food and dog bowls. Lunch was a nicely warmed dog bowl of Watties spaghetti in the can. Watties is kind of a Kiwi version of Heinz. I say dog bowl because we have some boat bowls that resemble dog bowls. Dog bowls are hard to knock over, so are boat bowls. They look similar.
Dinner. It's still rough, so no nice veggie stir fry. No, dinner was Frito pie. How does the star chef, who didn't grow up in the states, become familiar with Frito pie, you may ask? I confess. I told her about it, she liked it. It is easy on a bouncing platform. Say, remember the carnival ride "Tilt-a-Whirl"? Try cooking on one sometime. It will make you a beliver in Frito pie.
And since we are in the rough stuff, our preferred dining area is on the cabin floor, wedged in between the nav desk and the galley sink. Stable, and not a drop spilled. This then, is the truth in cruising and dining at sea. The challenges are real, and not at all like the photos you see in the glossy magazine showing couples having a wine in a long-stemmed glass, usually dressed quite elegantly, etc. Think expedition, think Volvo Ocean Race. For us it is quite a blissful life. Out here having grand adventures with our best buddies.

Rod Lambert, Elisabeth Lehmberg
Who Are Rod and Elisabeth? We are Rod Lambert and Elisabeth Lehmberg. Elisabeth is from Bremerhaven, Germany, and Rod is from Monterey, California. In our youth we each had dreams of living on the water and sailing long distance.
In the mid 1970s, Elisabeth and her boyfriend converted a wooden lifeboat into a proper cutter-rigged sailing boat, complete with cabin. Elisabeth learned to sail on this boat, and together they sailed the North Sea coast of Northern Germany, made passages through the Kiel Canal into the Baltic Sea and explored the coastal islands of Denmark. About this same time, Rod was learning to sail in El Toros at a sailing school that once operated out of Berkeley's Aquatic Park. After returning from four years in the U.S. Navy, he bought and sailed a Santana 22 while attending school in Humboldt County, California. Careers, responsibilities, relationships and realities came along, and the sailing dreams gave way to other things. Elisabeth went on to become a bio-scientist, and in 1990 she moved to Berkeley, inspired by the book "Ecotopia". Rod became a civil engineer on the California north coast. In December, 2001, Elisabeth booked passage aboard a KLM flight to Amsterdam, transferring to Bremerhaven to go visit her mother for Christmas. Rod was also on board this flight, and would transfer on to Vilnius, Lithuania to spend the holiday with friends there. We had been assigned seats next to each other, and over the course of the next 11 hours fell in love, we and have been joined at the hip since. Saying our good-byes, we exchanged in Amsterdam, and upon returning to the U.S., Rod received an email entitled "Proximity". This email posed the question "Shall we, once again, put ourselves in close proximity"? We were married in Honolulu a few months later. ........and we had an inspiration for the name of a boat that would come along in the future. Very early on, it was evident that each of us were involved in activities that didn't include the other very well. Rod had been racing Formula Ford and later his Porsche, while Elisabeth was involved in endurance horse racing. Wonderful activities each, but we each wanted something we would do together. Remember,we were "joined at the hip." Inspired by the dreams of our youth, by some sailing colleagues, and by a very small apartment in Marin County, we decided that we would sail again. We would find a suitable boat, move aboard, and prepare to realize our old dreams. So, we did. This is where you come in. Welcome on board.

Rosie the Riveter
Its Rosie Herreras party this weekend, and you can cry if you want to. The 27-year-old choreographer will return to her hometown to show off two make-you-laugh, make-you-bawl works that made her a star last summer at the American Dance Festival, where she shared the bill with the most important dance companies in the nation to critical acclaim. Miami audiences have watched her work progress over the past few years. Now its time to celebrate Herreras full-fledged accomplishments. Showgirl, b-girl, cabaret vamp, opera singer, and New World School of the Arts grad, she captures Miamis grit and glitz like no one else. Various Stages of Drowning: a Cabaret dives into unconscious desires, including a take on Titanic youll never forget. Pity Party explores the pain behind the glittering smiles of drag queens, divas, and disco queens as birthday cakes turn into sinkholes and piñata bats become deadly weapons. Each of her cast of ten outsize personalities including local favorites Octavio Campos, Rudi Goblen, and Ana Mendez takes turns upstaging each other in a club-world-turned-concert-dance spectacle that only Miami could produce.

In Defense of Optics
Here's a Twitter conversation this afternoon between Jamison Foser and me:
Foser: Dumbest words in politics: "Optics," "Gaffe," "Hypocrisy." (That latter one is a real thing, but misused to the point of meaninglessness.)
Drum: But "optics" is just short for "how this will look to others." Nothing really wrong with that.
Foser: "Optics" = "I cannot articulate a substantive problem with this, so I'll just suggest others won't like it." It's a house of cards.
Drum: But don't politicians routinely consider the optics of their actions? I mean really, genuinely, think about it. It's a real thing.
Foser: Not sure why that means anyone should care, or how that validates 99% of use of word by reporters/operatives/pundits....And I've really, genuinely thought about it for a couple decades.
Drum: What word would you suggest instead? The concept itself is pretty ordinary.
Foser: I don't think we need a word for "people might not like the Congressman's cheesesteak order." I think we need to shut up about it.
Drum: Hmmm. It's a slow day. Maybe I'll blog about this since I think my disagreement is more than 140 characters long.
Foser: Then here's another angle: To the extent "optics" claims are about "analyzing" rather than sneakily influencing reactions, I find that pointless as well. "Here's what I think people will think" is generally dull & unimportant.
Here's the thing: like most anything, there are good uses of the word optics and dumb uses of the word optics. To the extent that it becomes an excuse for fatuous preoccupations with Al Gore's earth tones or Hillary Clinton's speaking fees, then yes, it's dumb. The world would be a better place if campaign beat reporters spent a lot less time on this kind of soul-crushing imbecility.
But that's not the only use of the word. As I mentioned in my first tweet—though see the note below for more about this—it's also used as a shortcut for a specifically political meaning of "how something will look to other people." And if you object to that, then you're just railing against human nature. Unless you're clinically autistic, obsessing with how our actions will appear to others is fundamental to the human condition. Ditto for obsessing with other people's appearances.
That's especially true for anyone in the sales and marketing business, where appearances are literally what the job is all about. And who's more in the sales and marketing business than a politician? Sure, they have actual products—universal pre-K, cutting tax rates, whatever—but most people don't buy their products based on a Brookings white paper outlining the pros and cons. They buy it based on how it fits into their worldview, and that in turn owes more to how it's sold than to what's actually being sold.
So when you try to figure out why, say, Marco Rubio's immigration reform plan crashed and burned, you're missing half the story if you only look at the details of his plan. If you're covering a campaign, you're missing half the story if you don't report about how the campaign is trying to mold public perceptions. If you're writing a history of the Iraq War, you're missing half the story if you don't spend time explaining the marketing campaign behind the whole thing. For better or worse, politicians spend a lot of time thinking about how various audiences—supporters, opponents, undecideds, pundits, members of Congress, the media—will react to their proposals, and they shape their messages accordingly. If you're reporting on politics, you have to include that as part of the story, and optics is as good a word as any to describe it.
That said, we'd be better off if there were fewer dumb appeals to optics. If you're going to talk about optics, it should be based on either (a) ground-level reporting about what someone's political operation is actually doing, or (b) empirical data like poll numbers about how people react to things. If all you're doing is inventing stuff that no one on the planet would have noticed if you hadn't been hard up for column material, then you're responsible for making us collectively stupider and giving optics a bad name. Knock it off.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I've defended the word optics against critics before, which suggests that in my mind I really do think it's OK to use it:
When someone says "optics," for example, I know that they're talking not just about general appearances, but about how something plays in the media and how it plays with public opinion. Using the word optics also suggests that you're referring to a highly-planned operation managed by media pros, not just some random event on the street.
On the other hand, I don't actually use the word very much myself, which suggests that in my heart I agree with Foser more than I'm letting on.

THE romance between MARCUS MUMFORD and CAREY MULLIGAN is like a storyline from a cheesy Hollywood rom-com.
The MUMFORD & SONS frontman and the Hollywood actress started dating in February but the Brit pair first knew each other as childhood pen pals.
It was only after Carey established herself in movies and Marcus's band made it big that they then got in touch again.
A source said: "Carey and Marcus began sending each other letters through their churches when they were kids.
"After becoming friends again things got more serious earlier this year and romance blossomed.
"The couple have spent a lot of time together since while Mumford & Sons have been touring the States."
Marcus and Carey have been eying up properties in the US but, because of the nature of their jobs, they will have to get used to communicating again from afar.
At least these days they'll be able to email.
Or, for those lonely nights in, Skype.

Swedish champions used to be as common as British first-round losers here, but the nation that produced Bjorn Borg, Stefan Edberg and Mats Wilander has a lone standard-bearer these days. Robin Soderling is the only Swedish man in the world's top 300, and for the second year in succession is his country's lone representative in the men's singles.
Borg has tipped the 25-year-old world No 6 as a future world No 1 and he is emerging as a major contender at Wimbledon. He has yet to drop a set, and yesterday beat Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil 6-4 6-2 7-5. He will play David Ferrer in tomorrow's fourth round.
Soderling was regarded as little more than a journeyman until his remarkable victory over Rafael Nadal in the fourth round of last year's French Open, the Spaniard's first defeat in 32 matches at Roland Garros. Soderling, the world No 25 at the time, went on to reach the final, which he lost to Roger Federer.
Although he had the misfortune to run into Federer again at Wimbledon and the US Open, Soderling made the elite eight-man field for the World Tour Finals in London, where he beat Nadal and Novak Djokovic before losing to Juan Martin del Potro.
This year Soderling made the semi-finals at the Masters Series events in Indian Wells and Miami and reached the French Open final. He beat Federer at Roland Garros, ending the Swiss's record-breaking run of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals, but lost to Nadal in straight sets in the final. Having broken into the world's top 10 last October, he is now at a career high.
"My confidence is good," he said. "I think I've been playing really well for a year, or almost a year and a half now, beating a lot of good players in big matches and in big tournaments."
Soderling's game is highly effective. At 6ft 4in and nearly 14st, he hits with power on his serve and in his ground- strokes. There is little subtlety about his ball-striking, but there is no doubt about the weight of his shots.
There was a time when indoor courts brought the best out of him – he has won only one title outdoors – but taking Nadal to five sets here three years ago gave him confidence on grass and he enjoyed his best Wimbledon run last year, when he made the fourth round. Should he reach next Sunday's final he would be the first Swede to do so since Edberg won the title 20 years ago.
Bellucci, who is at a career-high No 24, is at his best on clay and rarely looked capable of threatening Soderling. The Swede, who beat Robby Ginepri and Marcel Granollers in his first two matches, was often happy to play a patient game. When Bellucci served at 4-5 and 30-30 Soderling kept making his opponent play. Two forehand errors and the first set followed.
When Bellucci missed a backhand to give Soderling his first break in the second set the Brazilian hurled his racket to the ground. When he later kicked a ball away in anger he was fortunate that it just missed a line judge. Soderling was also fired up, but his passion manifested itself in chest-beating or clenched-fist celebrations.
Bellucci's only break points came when Soderling served at 5-5 in the third set, and in fending them off the Swede appeared to break his spirit. In the following game Soderling secured victory on his second match-point when Bellucci hit a backhand long.
"I've played against three really good players and I haven't dropped a set yet, though I was maybe a little bit lucky to win the third set today," Soderling said. "I'm serving well. I'm hitting the ball well. I'm feeling really good."
How has he coped with Borg's prediction that he will reach the top?
"Of course it's nice to hear," Soderling said. "He's a legend. I think everybody knows that he knows what he's talking about. He was at the top of this game for so long. But I still have to do it. It won't happen because he says that. I still have to work hard, but if I stay healthy and play like this I think I have a chance."

It seems that the folks at Auran Games, who announced back in December of '07 that their PvP-centric MMORPG Fury would be moving from a subscription model to a free-to-play model, have run out of time.
Early this morning, the company announced that the game servers and website will be shutting down in 48 hours.
We have reached our time limit to find a solution that would help us keep the Fury servers open. Sadly, no solution has been found and so we have no alternative than to shut the servers down in 48 hours.
To all those players who have enjoyed Fury and played countless battles, I am sorry that we could not find a viable business model that would allow you to continue playing. To all those naysayers and doomsdayers, we know that deep down you wanted Fury to succeed. Have fun with your parting wishes
To the Auran team, who put their heart and soul into making Fury, thanks for your efforts. As I said many times before, we need to be much better than the competition to have a chance of succeeding. We gave it everything we had and history now judges that it still wasn't good enough.
Whilst this marks the end of the Fury chapter, who knows what the future may bring. There were many gems hidden within Fury and many lessons learned. Hopefully one day the full potential can be realized in some other form.
So for now, so long and thanks for all the fish.
P.S. We informed all stores more than a month ago to remove stock from their shelves. If you have purchased a copy of Fury in the past month, we suggest you return it to the store.
P.P.S. This website will also close down in 48 hours.

I remember a lot of people calling this one when they announced the money tournament module. 100 points to all you, save them up and the darkfall debacle is coming up soon so more points to earn and tally.
Anyway this just proves that a PVP only MMO can't make it in this dog eat dog harsh cold world.
Another one bites the dust
I don''t really know when Humankind will die out but i''m guessing about 6 years before WOW.
Good riddance to bad rubbish....
The theory would make a great console game, but the execution of the coding and mechanics of the game just never could live up tot he design.

Yeah at least that will never happen...not that it would've happened before this announcement...since well...the id game is called "Rage".
This whole concept was flawed to begin with...trying to make people pay for what is essentially a console fighter game. After the P2P failure it just kept going down hill since it probably was easily beat by dedicated fighter games.

I see what you did there! You gotta love the irony of it all.
Its not that an all pvp game cant survive, it is just a shitty one has no chance of surviving. Fury was no better then exteel or counter strike, just a bunch of room based fighting, yet they wanted a subscription, and made promises they had no intention of keeping.
Fury was never an MMO, i am surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Lie to no one. If there 's somebody close to you, you'll ruin it with a lie. If they're a stranger, who the fuck are they you gotta lie to them? - Willy Nelson
its kind of sad...when an MMO dies.....once Fury hit free to play i jumped on it...for a while it was really fun and me and my buddy loved it...in the end it just couldn't hold up ...if it had started up as F2p i believe it would still be around....
Fury took me back to old guild wars before the PvP was "find a build on guildwikki that have been proven overpowered" people took pride in their build even if it was not that great
tsk tsk to some of you who cares if you did not enjoy the game you really do not have to be so rude about it. these devs put an effort in...
its like a student laughing in the face of a teacher when they don't like the lesson...i bet it would suck
some people don't like having a broad MMO market....RIP fury....you had a so so run too bad you had no PvE i bet people would have loved you....would have.....

imho this game was just boring from the beginning.
People dont like loosing, and in only pvp games most of players loose most of the fights, at least 50% of players loose their battles. This is why fury died. People don't like loosing, you dont like login in, fight 10 battle loose 7 or 8 of them. This is why pve games succed, you always win, sooner or later.
I can't really comment on this game as it totally sucked before I even got into the PvP. All of these F2P games have about five minutes to win me over. Fury, once installed, seemed clunky and very visually unappealing. I got bored before I even found anyone to fight.
How can u even call an online room based game a MMO ?
It can be only called MO - multiplayer online, not massive.
It wasn't even 100% pvp. How can u say that pvp games don't chave a chance to succeed ? First years of UO, now DFo having huge fanbase, forthcoming MortalOnline... Those last 2 are developing to be 100% PvP games, not a pve + some sort of pvp. And going to be MMO, not MO.
Anyway, is it weird that Korean crappy MMOs gain enough $ to prosper, while such productions like Fury or AA have to die due to insufficient income ?
Seems that pplz just want to sit in front of monitor, and own a mushroom 2391241 time. They don't want a competition between players, cause they suck in such thing. They don't want to loose ...
No fun at all
Remember, your advantage lies in your opponent's weakness (J)
The game had potential but failed to deliver. Much like AoC. Still waiting to see the headline where AoC is cancelled.
Not an MMO, not PVP, should never have been mentioned at this website. Meanwhile you have Urban Dead and Kingdom of Loathing banned from the site. Come to think of it, it looks like someone forgot to take Runescape off the game list, and when is the GTA4 forum going to open?

I loved the game from the begging because i caught on fast an owned everyone to bad people where to blind to see wha fury had in game and with potential.
I new you, i played you, i loved you, and know your dead......
So this was a room based PvP game? Like others have said.. One can buy Mortal Kombat or go to the video arcade. Why pay a monthly fee?
If Free to Play failed them, then it must have been bad.
I think the argument for MMO designs that focus on only PvP may have the upper hand now. There has to be some element of PvE for players to enjoy MMOs.
I do not think games like AoC will die because of the PvE element to it.
Its sad to see such a good idea that had some decent potential die so fast. If anyone ever read Jeff Strains How to make a successful MMO, i think that Fury was kind of what he had in mind. For all that keep saying its not MMO material thats to the cliche ideal of what a MMO is, mmo is nothing more than massive mutliplayer , its like pvp as long as theres an actual person on the other side your playing against no matter the gametype RTS,FPS, FIGHTING its essentially pvp.
Lets get past all the BS that surrounded FURY it was and ideal game that needed to be made to help try to break the mold of the current pc gaming market. Unfortunately it fell victim to the same throat needle a lot of development teams are suffering from except on one market, wasnt overhyped in fact wasnt hyped enough. The release of a subpar under developed game and a constant change in business model hurt Fury the most. We wont even go into customer or community relations.
Someone mentioned their last idea on subscription , yea it was a bust and also never implemented, in all reality FURY should have came with a business model similar to Guildwars , once you buy it F2p for life no sub fees and should have had regular expansions added. That definitely would have helped in its approach to the market. I can say though that i actually mentioned the console idea to the development team and even asked why that approach wasnt put more to thought ... the reply i got was "give me 500K and ill have that for you" ... essentially this game was but a fighter at its based with some advanced combat mechanics, though it would have been dumbed down it would have by far been the best fighter to date on console and would have done well with the proper marketing approach.
ill leave by saying im not a fanboi of FURY , but definitely of its concept , the ideal of not having to go thru endless hrs of carebearing to get to what is essentially mainly endgame pvp at its finest is what made me look to FURY to begin w/. Sad though to see it go so soon. To the team over there i know you have an upward battle ahead of you for your own futures but i wish them luck. just plz if you try this again think before you act, and learn to walk before you run.
"Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die."
Hope this will be a lesson to every mmo developer. DO NOT COPY PASTE GAMES AND ASK FOR A FEE.

Sadly I agree. Exteel > Fury... and that's bad.

If someone would only make a classic MMOG like early EQ again, they would succeed.
No it wouldn't. Vanguard, despite a VERY rocky launch, tried to be old school and got dinged. An EQ redeux would only appeal to a very niche, old grognard group of MMO players who have a foggy & selective recollection of how "great" EQ was.

I believe you need 1 meter but try for more as this feels tight when its created.

Pictures of my horses
Hello I am new here. For all who can't read my nickname it is Horse Poor n Big Sky. Big Sky = Montana. Sorry for all those that thought it said porn but that is a misunderstanding that is easily made. Anyway, I have three quarter horses. Two mares and one gelding.
This one is Cissy (Tiny Leo Charge) she is 21 almost 22 but acts like she's turnin' 3. She is off the race track.
This is Junior (Paul's JrMiss) she is 10 going on 11. I've had her since she was a yearling.
This is Trouble (not registered yet) he is Junior's baby. Not a baby no more though. He is 3 going on 4 in April. He is my future roping/reining horse.
Those are my horses, bunch of hay burners but I love'em.
I too, have a 22 year old.. going on 3. :roll:
lol Yep she is very onery. She tries to unload me every spring faithfully. She's a good horse though wouldn't trade her for the world. Took a long time to get her to trust me. I've had her for 14 years now.

I had a little bit of time during the weekend to update my personal weather app linked to my weather station in the garden. I am currently adding the various weather 'types' and adjusting the settings overlay. On the finished version the settings won't be on a different screen but instead they will partially overlay the main weather view, thus the semi-transparent background.
