"It was revolutionary at the time, or so it seemed to an 11-year-old. I listened to it intensely for a year without being able to understand the title. It was like a concept album, the geometric shapes on the cover and the two versions of "Joan of Arc". It's funny, because it hasn't really stayed with me, but as a kid these weird elements seemed like `wow!'".
Rose and Charcoal Marisa Monte
"I heard this on a compilation tape in a friend's car, an amazing cover version of Lou Reed's "Pale Blue Eyes". When you discover a new voice and it's utterly compelling, you just fall in love. It is quite rare, as you get older, to discover things like that. And to find a singer who has real warmth and a sexy, sensual album. It is one of those records you live with."

A difficult week for Ed Miliband was capped today as Labour was hit with more embarrassing leaks.
Amid questions over Mr Miliband's performance as leader, a draft version emerged of the speech his brother David would have delivered if he had won the party's top job.
The former foreign secretary planned to admit that the public finances had not been well managed enough under Labour, and warn that the party could not "deny" the deficit.
A text of the address was obtained by the Guardian. It was never delivered to members at the conference last year, but a crestfallen Mr Miliband is said to have recited it to his wife in the car driving home.
The elder brother would have announced that former chancellor Alistair Darling had agreed to head an all-party commission to draft rules on public spending and deficits - designed to restore lost trust in Labour fiscal discipline.
He was to say that "step one" in recovering public trust over the economy was to "recognise what is obvious: that we did not abolish the business cycle".
"We should never have claimed it. You can't in a market economy. And public spending plans cannot depend on it. Nor can you write your own fiscal rules, and then be judge and jury for how they are calculated and when they are met," he planned to say.
The draft indicates that Mr Miliband would have backed George Osborne's introduction of the Office of Budgetary Responsibility.
"We should have been proposing the creation of the OBR and we should be campaigning today for its accountability to parliament to be strengthened," it insists. "There is no point denying those things: they are true."
Mr Miliband would have told the conference that the deficit was "the biggest argument in politics, and the biggest danger for us. George Osborne says we are in denial about the deficit. Because he wants us to be. So let's not be. It is a test."
He would have argued that "the party will only be trusted when we show in word and deed that the alternative to mean government is lean government".
Mr Miliband stepped away from frontline politics shortly after losing the leadership contest, and has been careful to avoid controversial interventions since.
However, many MPs still question whether the right brother was selected.
Doubts about Ed's future resurfaced this week after he was criticised for failing to capitalise on David Cameron's retreats over NHS reforms and sentencing policy.

New politics, lesson 52. U-turns don't exist any more, or if they do there is no shame in them.
Vince responded urbanely to the indignation of New Generation MPs: "Roads to Westminster are covered with the skidmarks of politicians changing direction." (Ribald laughter.)
The Lib-Dems might have signed in blood their opposition to raising tuition fees, but now they can wave it away with the nonchalance of The Jew of Malta. "Thou hast committed fornication. But it was in another country, and besides the wench is dead."
It's an entirely new game, and Labour hasn't decided how to play it. A direction change of this magnitude would have caused a parliamentary riot a couple of years ago. They couldn't muster a street corner argument. "The current economic climate" is one get-out. "The compromises demanded by coalition" is another. The fact the Labour party campaigned on no tuition fees before introducing them is a third. All we can do is enjoy the ride.
You'd think a party that had spilt such blood on university fees would be ready to unleash itself on the Government. But Ed Miliband didn't mention tuition fees at his parliamentary party meeting. Nothing. The fact that he wants a graduate tax and his amiable shadow Chancellor won't think of it – that's another complicating factor.
On the plus side, Ed is sitting much better on the front bench. He clasped his hands together firmly, in a good, manly, adult way and gripped them between his knees. You can't pull food out of your teeth with your hands like that. Good work!
John Denham gave a rollicking opposition speech about opening doors for able students. The ulterior purpose was to say how Labour is the party of aspiration, an ulterior purpose always fractalises the message.
Vince said he'd never advocated a pure graduate tax – only "a progressive graduate contribution". That's as different as alligators and crocodiles.
One of his arguments seemed to hit home: the bottom 30 per cent of graduates would pay back less than they are now and the top-earning 30 per cent would pay back more than they are now. Did that sound good to Labour? Too good, their brows furrowed in perplexity.
But pledges decay into promises and thence to undertakings, indications, aspirations, and general directions of travel – before bouncing into pledges to do the opposite. Who knows how things will turn out in 40 years?
One argument really doesn't wash: graduates earn £100,000 more over their lifetimes – therefore they should pay more for their education. That won't happen in the future – not with the massive oversupply of graduates. You'd think a graduate would have worked that out.

3 Days in Hong Kong
My hometown
Essential Hong Kong
I'm just came back from HK on yesterday. My family really love this trip. totally it's because Annette. she is the best supporter as i ever found. so I'm highly to recommended, If you have some plan to go to HK. just sent email to them and they will go with you like your best friend.
I had a layover in HK and wanted a guide to maximize my time there for an overview of the city. I spend the day with Annette - she was great! One of the best guides I have had in any city. The day was very relaxed - I was not overwhelemed with non stop information as some guides tend...
What is good about this tour is that it covers all modes of public transport giving a good vista of what is possible. Jay is able to communicate effectively in English although the Scottish accent did cause him some problems. The experience I came away with was one of being ferried to each main tourist attraction, but with little "insider...
This is the second tour with Jay. In 2013 he toured myself and 3 friends during a layover enroute to Kathmandhu. This time was a day trip while touring China with a friend. First trip he greeted us at the airport, second at a train station. He's punctual & organized. You set the pace and he accommodates. Both tours he...
Our 4 member family group had 3 days in Hong Kong after our cruise, and although my husband and I had been there several times in the past, it was awhile ago so we arranged 2 half day trips and one full day with Jay online where we discussed areas of interest and firmed up an itinerary. Jay was cheerful...
With less than 24 hours notice we were able to book Jay's services. We had an awesome day in Hong Kong, seeing Victoria Park, Stanley, Victoria Harbour, farmers market and had a great authentic dimsum lunch. We did trains, trams, ferries and taxis all in one day!
Whenever my wife and I visit a city for the first time, we always arrange for a private guided tour. It helps us so much to get orientated and not waste time. Our trip to Hong Kong was no exception. Annette is right up there with the best tour guides we've ever had. She's patient, punctual, organised, knowledgeable, and fun...
Annette, our guide, was thorough, professional and at the same time provided us with a personal insight into the history, culture and religions of the Hong Kong Area. She met us promptly, provided us with maps so we could come back to areas we wanted to revisit and most of all provided us with true insight into the real life...
We recently decided to stop over in Hong Kong for one day to break up our journey from New York to South East Asia.
Luckily enough we were able to get Annette as our guide to accompany us on a full day tour of Hong Kong. Annette met us at our hotel and provided us with Octopuss passes.
They allowed...
All we had was 8 hours to explore the highlights of Hong Kong before we had to catch a flight. Annette was the most perfect guide ever for the task. She met us at our hotel and for the next 8 hours she skillfully managed the time where we used trains, a taxi, a bus and a ferry to see...

Hi Jay,
I will be in Hong Kong the evening of March 25th 2016 for a layover and would like to do a 3 hour tour. Are you available that day? I emailed you twice but no response. Please let me know.
Do you pick up and drop off to my hotel? Also what is the cost per person please? Thank you.
Two of us will arrive in Hong Kong on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016 at 5:45am. We would like to hire services of Jay or Annette for one or two days. are you available then? We would need some rest before we begin our tour on 10/20. Spend one or two nights in HK, not sure yet. Any info you could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob & Donna from Florida
Hi jay are you free tom? My family need a tour guide from here in shamrock hotel.. Thank you so much.. Mia
My wife and her girlfriend will visit HK from 27 to 30.09
They need a tour guide for exploring the city for 1 or 2 days
Can you please send me offer and proposal?
Best regards

We bought a Powerball ticket, much like the rest of America, and if we win, we want to share the winnings with you! Here's all you have to do.
Last October we gave you the chance to score a digital download of the first part of the concept album from Stone Sour titled "The House of Gold & Bone"! Well every weekday night through Friday May 17th, we're hooking you up with PART 2! Just listen to Timmy's Basement for your Basement Babe of the Night & check into the KAT HOUSE!

So, just what exactly are the odds of filling out a PERFECT bracket for the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament?
This professor at DePaul University knows...
This February, you could be flying to Seattle – the home of grunge and the rainy capital of the Northwest Kingdom – to see Soundgarden live in concert and meet the band backstage. The prize also includes $500 – so you can do Seattle right. It's like 1994 all over again.
Earlier tonight was the culmination of 15 weeks of football tailgate parties we held every week at Jackson's Sports Bar & Clubhouse Lounge.
Following the game between New York and Tennessee, we put every entry listeners and party-goers had amassed over the course of the season for our final Grand Prize drawing - $2,000 cash - courtesy of Akland Pump and Irrigation and Premier Power Sports.
The winner had to be present to win or we would draw another name.
Here's how it went down:
Metallica's first self-released project under their own label, Blackened Recordings, is finally out in stores, but you can win yours during Timmy's Basement! Keep listening for details on how you can pick up "Quebec Magnetic", the double disc DVD that was recorded live over two shows in Quebec City.
Chances are good that you're not getting a Christmas bonus this year. You've worked your ass off all year, made everyone else at your job look good by doing their work for them and, still, your 'thanks' is you get to keep your job another day.
We don't think that's fair so, since your boss won't give you a Christmas bonus, give your boss 'the bird' for a chance to win a $500 KATS Christmas bonus. To enter, just send us a picture of you flipping off 'your boss' (the camera).
With tonight's Powerball jackpot already exceeding $500 million, it's difficult for even the most cynical person to abstain from buying a ticket. With that ticket comes the mental gymnastics that ensue when one poses the question to self: "What's the first thing I would do if I won?"
That was the question I posed on our Facebook page this morning on "The Big Show." Here are the often amusing answers:
Today is Wednesday and as a Radio Announcer we do not get to leave early!

Candy Corn in Tiffany
Somehow, my Brach's Candy Corn wasn't as smooth and perfect as I remembered it from my youth. Or maybe this bag had a rough ride from Mexico: there were more broken pieces and scuffs than intact pieces. Still, I love the color...and the sweet, sweet flavor was all there.

POULENC'S LAST operas could hardly be more different: Les dialogues des Carmelites, a grand opera about nuns, their spiritual sublimity threatened by a very French revolution; La voix humaine, a tiny monologue in which a woman tortures herself by repeatedly phoning her lover, who wants to cut the connection forever.
Political and religious torment in one, private crisis in the other; and women the fulcrum of both. Poulenc identified completely with his female protagonist. "Blanche," he said of the novice at the centre of Dialogues, "was me, and is still me." Far from being the carefree charmer of musical legend, Poulenc, at least here, plumbed considerable personal depths.
You might think La voix humaine the more likely project for student performance, but Trinity College is nothing if not ambitious and, in Poulenc's centenary year, its staging of Dialogues (sung in English) showed its musical strength in depth: a large orchestra and a cast of dozens gave their all, and if the drama was intermittent, some of the fault may be the opera's. Where Poulenc saw saintliness in the nuns' sacrifices, we might see only misguided waste, yet as the score lines the nuns up at the guillotine, only to deprive them one by one of their heads, it is impossible to remain unmoved. At this moment, Kresimir Dolencic's plain production finds its target.
Poulenc makes heavy demands of his singers, in simply keeping going. The vocal style, taking a lead from Debussy, is an inch away from conversational recitative, with vocal display at a minimum. The singers get through vast amounts of text, so communication is at a premium. These are voices with time to grow, and not everyone got their text across in Spitalfields' rather unyielding acoustic, but there were several successes.
There's not much room for men in Dialogues, but Benjamin Lake makes the marquis a burly, insensitive brute, just the kind of father to drive Blanche to the nunnery. When there, she finds Edel O'Brien's remarkable Prioress, refusing to go gently into God's arms in a death scene of hair-raising intensity: a pity the libretto kills her off so early. Poulenc, though, wanted attention to focus on Blanche and here, in Ksenia Eremina Jones, he has a singer to watch closely. Her diction is clear, she acts well, and the voice is bright, even and expressive: ingredients, with a bit of luck thrown in, on which to build a solid career.
The performances benefited from the precisely sculpted conducting of Andrea Quinn, who also ensured that the orchestra got the measure of Poulenc's ebbing, flowing dramatic pulse. Over the past four years, Trinity's performances at Spitalfields have added considerably to London's operatic life. A shame, then, that for yet more "retail development", the Market Opera building will shortly be demolished. As the rich get richer, culture gets poorer: a familiar story.
Further performance of `Dialogues', Spitalfields Market Opera, 4-5 Lamb Street, E1, 7.30pm, Saturday 13 February, (0171-377 1362)

A New Take on Non-Destructive Testing
"Compensated quadratic resonance combinations?"According to Bob Nath, co-founder of Quasar International, Inc. (Albuquerque, NM; www.quasarintl.com), which provides non-destructive testing (NDT) systems that use "compensated quadratic resonance combinations", compared with traditional approaches, they can:Reduce testing costs by a factor ranging between 3 and 10Reduce the possibility of shipping defective partsEliminate scrapping good parts.In addition, the process can help design engineers develop parts that aren't stronger and heavier than necessary—often the case in application-critical parts (e.g. suspension and steering components). "Some of these parts are designed to be 10 times stronger than needed," Nath claims. "With proper testing, this easily could be cut in half without affecting safety."Also, says Nath, "Conventional NDT methods focus on indications of possible defects instead of structural integrity, and rely on operator judgment in place of statistical controls.

I am a fullstack web developer based in Greater NYC. This site is under construction but feel free to click around and check out some of my recent projects highlighted below!
Tembo is a Google Chrome extension with features for managing shared inboxes.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes is a functional prototype of an e-commerce store, inspired by the Harry Potter books.
Twitter version of the viral website, "Is It a Jewish Holiday Today?"
Tembo was put together by myself and my three teammates in a little over two weeks as our capstone project at Grace Hopper Academy. You can watch our presentation in the YouTube video above.
At nearly every step of this project, we ran into what we thought would be a dead-end. The technologies we used were not supposed to be compatible with one another, but we didn't take no for an answer. The biggest challenge that I personally tackled was how to emit real-time updates across multiple users' inboxes. This involved communicating with the content and background scripts, our database (Firebase), as well as the Gmail API, all while trying not to get caught in an infinite loop of updates.
I also did the styling for the native Gmail components and the dashboard, and created the interface for browsing and editing custom e-mail templates (see image below).
Because security is so important to an app like this (that has access to all of your emails, as well as everyone else's on your team!), we chose not deploy at this time. You can, however, check out our code on GitHub.
Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was created by myself and 3 team members as part of a 10 day project at Grace Hopper Academy. You can check out our code on GitHub. This was a full stack application: we had to write the front and back end, using AngularJS for the front and Sequelize.js/PostgreSQL for the back.
In the beginning, I primarily pair-programmed with one of my teammates, setting up the database schema and models, writing backend routes, and connecting the front and back ends to fetch products for the main page. Aside from being my group's go-to debugger, I wrote the product search and filter features, and set up automated email responses after "purchases".
For a short "palate-cleanser" in between large projects at Grace Hopper, I spent a day building my first Twitter Bot to answer pressing questions for inquiring minds.
Using the Twitter API along with the Twit npm module, I set up a stream to listen for tweet mentions, pull information from an external JSON file, and respond directly to a tweet. If it is not a Jewish holiday, the bot will respond with "NO", otherwise it will respond with the holiday and a link to that holiday's wikipedia page.
Next, I also set up my bot to be able to pull Shabbat times from the hebcal RESTful API, so if you ask it what time shabbat starts + a zip code, it will respond with that info. Because I was having too much fun, I also started working on a bot that listens for tweets that are accidental haikus, but that's still in the works.
Disclaimer: I am using a free heroku account to run my stream listener, so if you tweet @ it with a valid question and don't get a response, it probably means I've run out of free hours!

Nevermind, I figured it out. The emails get cleared off my email server periodically, so I guess they are gone forever My own fault I suppose...
Hi all. When I first got my laptop I created an archive and periodically moved old emails into folders in the archive. I had AutoArchive turned on, but I always clicked Cancel when prompted, so I didn't think that it ever actually ran.
Lately, however, when looking for some old emails, I haven't been able to find them. I checked my inbox, and it seems my messages only go back to about three months ago and stop abruptly - this corresponds to the criteria I have set for autoarchive, so I assume that it actually HAS been running.
The problem, though, is that I still can't find those old emails! I have no idea where in the archive they might be. There is no Archive folder, and there is nothing in the Inbox under that Archive. I have a very complex system of subfolders in this archive, so it would be enormously difficult for me to search each one, but I don't see why autoarchive would arbitrarily choose one of those folders in which to deposit these old emails. Any ideas where old my emails went?

Latest developments on asbestos at Cwmcarn High School
Latest developments following Cwmcarn High School closure, due to risk of asbestos exposure, highlights the need for greater transparency, says Cenric Clement-Evans, founding member of Right to Know: Asbestos in Schools Wales campaign.
This report came months after a report by Santia Asbestos Management Limited stated that airborne fibres at the school were 10 times higher than the accepted levels, and posed a "significant risk" to children and teachers alike.
So which report should parents and teachers of the 900-pupil school believe? No wonder there is confusion amongst parents as to whether their children can safely return to Cwmcarn.
When BBC Wales' Week In Week Out programme carried out a survey of Local Authorities in October 2012, it found that 1,514 schools in Wales - approximately 85% of the total - contain asbestos.
The fact is that people working and studying in schools across Wales are still at risk. More than 228 teachers have died of mesothelioma in the UK since 1980, with at least 140 dying in the last ten years. An unknown number of cleaners, administrative staff and caretakers have also died. It's not known how many children have died but in the USA it is estimated that for every teacher who has died nine children will die.
What will the figures be in 10, 20 or 30 years' time?
After Cwmcarn High was closed, the Welsh government ordered all schools to report on asbestos levels. All Local Authorities have now reported back to the Education Minister Leighton Andrews AM, but this information has yet to be made public.
Currently, there is no law in place to ensure that parents or guardians have access to information about which schools have asbestos present. In the days of freedom of information, is this acceptable?
Shouldn't all parents, teachers and all others working in our schools have a right to know if there is a risk from the presence of aged asbestos in school buildings?
Shouldn't it be easy to find out whether schools have an up-to-date asbestos register and whether it is being managed responsibly?
Our Right to Know campaign is calling for the establishment of a national online schools' asbestos database, to allow parents and teachers to be able to check with ease whether asbestos is present at any given school and view its management plan at the click of a button.
Our campaign has the backing of a number of Assembly Members across all parties, and this week for the first time since 2010, the Cross Party Group on Asbestos in the National Assembly for Wales met to discuss the issue of transparency around asbestos in schools, as prompted by the Right to Know Campaign. Supporters include cancer charity Tenovus, the Joint Union Asbestos Committee (JUAC) Unison and Brian Jones of the Campaign Asbestos Welsh Schools (CAWS).
Monmouthshire Council has also shown its support by becoming the first Local Authority to commit to openly providing its data on asbestos in schools to the public.
Our campaign group believes that people should be better informed about asbestos. Only then can they start to make informed choices and ask the right questions of local authorities, of school governors and of head teachers.
Our focus is on the prevention of future exposure to asbestos, on openness and transparency.
We are also calling for universally adopted standards of inspecting, recording and managing asbestos in our schools. The disagreement between experts over the extent of asbestos at Cwmcarn High school is serving only to bewilder and confuse those working there and the parents of the Cwmcarn children.
Also as it stands, there is no formal guidance issued by the Welsh Assembly Government for the management of asbestos in schools. We believe that the Guidelines published by the Department for Education in England in the autumn of 2012 can easily be adopted in Wales. Indeed there is no earthly justification for failing to do so immediately.
It is hard to believe in this day and age the hazard of asbestos still presents a threat to the health of our children and those working in schools. It must be right that parents can easily find out whether their child's health is potentially at risk from this hidden killer?
The example of Cwmcarn High School is not an isolated one - this will happen again in the future if we don't address this issue now.
And that presents us with a choice. Are we going to continue ignoring the issue of asbestos in schools and the dangers that it presents to those within the building? Or are we going to face up to the situation and put measures in place to fully understand the scale of the problem in Wales?
The Right to Know campaign urges Welsh Government not only to acknowledge the lack of information available to parents and those working in schools including teachers; but to establish a database to allow access to this information.

European Commission by Neill Nugent
Book DescriptionThe European Commission is at the very heart of the European integration process and, with the Council, is one of the two central institutions of the European Union. Its activist role under Jacques Delors led to a dramatic increase in its activity and influence and contributed to a crisis of confidence in its effectiveness and its lack of adequate financial controls which culminated in the resignation of the entire Commission under Jacques Santer in 1999. What progress has the Commission made in addressing these issues under Romano Prodi? What are its prospects in face of the new challenges of Eastward enlargement? How great is its influence and how does this vary according to issues and circumstances? What are the implications of its hybrid character as a political and administrative body? How much has the Commission changed over time and how much - and how - does it need to change now? Written by a leading authority and author of the best-selling introductory text on the EU, this major new text provides the definitive introduction to, and assessment of the Commission, its evolution, composition, organisation, character, functioning and role. Comprehensive, up to date and based on extensive original research it will be essential reading for students of European integration; politicians, policy makers and functionaries; and anyone with a serious interest in the European Union, it's current character and future prospects.

When you consider buying a game, do you look into reviewer scores? How much weight do you give to meta-scores? I consider a lot of factors. I don't always consider such scores knowing they can be off for certain games that I might really like if I had given them a try. On the other hand, they can influence my decision to take a risk in certain situations. I've been looking at a game on Steam which had a metascore rating of 70 yesterday. I checked a little while ago and it's down to 67. How do you look at metascores when making your decisions about whether to buy or not? EDIT: Has there ever been a game that had a relatively low metascore (on Steam for example) that you bought and enjoyed and thought deserved better?
I pay no attention whatsoever to metascores. I have recently started ignoring game review scores as well, since I find them to be unreliable.
I may read some reviews and look at the scores, but usually make up my own mind. Some games with really high scores I know I wont like, and I have really enjoyed other games with lower scores.
But to answer the question I put very little weight to meta scores.
I don't have much to add that has not already been said. But, I will post a link towards contributing, to metacritics stated process for how they create their meta scores for peoples reference here: http://www.metacritic.com/about-metascores
And would like to be clear that Metascores are the intelectual property of CBS Interactive incorperated and come with the user rating (typically). That is to say that any site showing a metascore is sourcing them. Which also means this meta scoring is standardized accross various review sites that utilize it (they can't even legally say meta score if it is not a score from metacritic). And, that is just all to say that a meta scoring is not a generic term for rating a game that a given site may legally do on its own. But, proprietary to CBS service that doesn't (or at least shouldn't) differ from site to site that uses them.

"This is the most intelligent, well qualified and articulate response to a post I have ever seen on these forums. It's a shame most people here won't have the attention span to read past the second line." - Anon
Absolutely nothing. There's only one reviewer I trust, and that's myself.
Edit: On second thought, I don't even trust myself sometimes lol.
I don't look at sites like metacritic or the like. If i hear of a game that might be entertaining I seek out videos of it's content that show the game from as many different angles as possible. However if a game is due to be out I usually find a way to get my hands on it before I buy it. I have a few friends that must have the newest games and be the first to dive into things so I use them to get at the games that I think have potential with no cost to me. I'll either go over and try it there, or have their "friend keys" and do it myself. The other option I have at my disposal is a fair number of internet cafe's in my city that have rabid fanbois who play all kinds of games. I can easily take 1 hour out of my life and go there and just have a look around. I find the best game reviewer are my eyes and ears when I see the product, and nothing is really stopping me from asking questions right there and then to have certain things demostrated to me.
I've blown money on games I thought would be good without trying them first and regret it. Ever since I started making sure I play before I buy, I've managed to save a decent amount of money and avoided games that quite a few of my friends jumped on only to quit a month later complaining that they wasted money.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
Reviews or metacritic scores have almost no bearing on my purchases.
Reviews are opinions, which are like assholes.
Metacritic scores are therefore just a bunch of assholes.
"What is truly revealing is his implication that believing something to be true is the same as it being true. [continue]" -John Oliver
Excepting the rare occasions when I'm convinced reviewers are wrong I won't buy anything below 80 or 4 user rate. No way in hell.
Same with movies, generally I find reviews are spot on my taste. Excepting a very small amount of the time.
That said, I'm still dissapointed with many things that get above 80, so I have to again be picky about what I want in that bracket.

I know what type of games I like, however I do view or read reviews, some games I don't need info example tried to stay away from to much Biochock Infinity info. But the moment I heard about that game I already knew it would be a instant buy and will find out myself if I truly enjoy it. (And I sure do) If I'm on a threshold I try to wait for a demo or trail to play. I've been looking at a game on Steam which had a metascore rating of 70 yesterday. I checked a little while ago and it's down to 67. Ask yourself, do all those who play games enjoy the excact same things you enjoy? Same with those ratings. How do you look at metascores when making your decisions about whether to buy or not? As said I don't EDIT: Has there ever been a game that had a relatively low metascore (on Steam for example) that you bought and enjoyed and thought deserved better? Sorry since I don't look at metascore's hard to say.
OP i only give weight to metascores if it gives very high ratings to my precious. Otherwise i just brush it aside as being immature, un professional and waste of time.
What? why you looking at me like that? haven't you seen a hypocrite before?
How many delicate flowers have you met in Counterstrike?
I got a case of beer and a chainsaw waiting for me at home after work.
I only take reviews and metascores into consideration when I am on the fence about a game. I do the initial research and leg work first, try the game out with open betas, free trials, and or demos next, decide on whether I am truly interested or not, if I can't decide then and only then will I look at reviews and metascores from other players, if for some reason I am still undecided I may look at professional reviewers and their metascores.
So as far as weight and importance for me in order...
1) My own
2) Other players
3) Professional reviewers. These guys are the last place I look if I bother to look there when making my decision.
All the meta scores can gauge is the rough popularity of the game around launch. They do not convey how good a game is as I have played many games with awful scores that I absolutely loved, and there are many on there with 80+ whilst most people I know regard them as awful (FFXIII and D3 come to mind).
They're too often influenced by hype as well (including the negative backlash of an awful launch).
If the reviewer and user scores match up then there's a good chance the score is accurate but even then I wouldn't take it at face value because it makes no room for personal taste or subjective opinion.

If it is a new game that I do not know much about, I might look at the critic reviews to get an basic idea. Is it an 80-100 game or 50-79 game. I seldom spend many on the latter. However, before buying, I actually check some videos and read few reviews from reputable sites or from those reviewers I have agreed with in the past. I do not care about user ratings unless it is a completely new IP or from relatively unknown developer. How do you look at metascores when making your decisions about whether to buy or not?
EDIT: Has there ever been a game that had a relatively low metascore (on Steam for example) that you bought and enjoyed and thought deserved better? I think the critic rating is often pretty good after you give more than few weeks for them to balance out. It does give a relatively good indication of the overall quality. If a game gets a really low score, I do want to test it prior to purchase. If it gets a really good score and is from a genre that I like, I might affect my buying decision more. I have seen games that I consider somewhat better and games I consider worse. This is usually within 10 to 15 points from the Metacritic score (again critic score, not user score).
"The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in."
Places like Metacritic, I don't even bother looking at. I think the score there is worthless, far too many haters and/or fanboys trying to influence opinions there for any score to taken seriously.
I do read reviews at certain sites, but I tend not to place too high a value on those either. The problem with a lot of these sites is the fact that they depend a lot on revenue from advertising games. If they trash a game they run the risk of the dev/publisher pulling their adverts and by extension their cash. How many sites gave SWTOR great reviews?
If I can't get into a beta or play some form of trial version I ususally search Youtube for footage of the game, from character creation to gameplay, crafting, skills etc. Anything I can find really. There are also a few Youtube reviewers who's opinions I do value because we seem to share a similar taste in games, people like Total Biscuit for example.
At the end of the day you sometimes just have to take a chance and hope the game doesn't disappoint.
For a game that everyone has trashed that surprised me, Scarlet Blade jumps to mind most recently. There's been a lot of flak flying over this game and I tried it out to see what all the fuss was about. A fun game to my mind. It's not the best game ever but it's far from the worst, and given the shit that's been thrown at it I was quite surprised to find an actual game hiding under the gravity defying boobies.
The critics' metascore? Some weight. A very low rating does mean the game is bad, without exception really. But a high rating doesn't necessarily mean it's good - it certainly doesn't guarantee long-term appeal.
The users' metascore? Absolutely zero weight. If I wanted to know how heavily trolled a game was, or how zealous the fanboys were, then this would be a useful measure. But if I want to know how good the game is, it's completely and utterly useless.
Ultimately, though, it's pretty hard to sell me a game without a demo or trial; and if I've got a demo or trial, I don't really need the reviews.
am i supossed to do what metascore says? i never go to metacritic for assistance. The user scores and the site scores are most of the time day and night different which makes me think something is not right there. I personally find metacritic stuff more biased than other reviewers outside of it, specially when both user vs critics scores differ by a lot.
thats just me. i prefer other places for my gaming score fix
Without reviews a metascore gives you only a vague idea. It tells you about how well the hype as worked as much as how good the game is.
If you are using metacritic, check out the reviews, go for the middle ramge ones. Look at what the player reviews say and how they say it.
Basing purchase on anything other than a solid all round review approach is asking for trouble.
You received 25 Agrees. You're posting some good content. Great!

Now Doesn't That Make You Feel All Warm And Fuzzy? :P
I personally don't give it much weight.
I tend to read reviewers that has similar tastes to mine (TotalBiscuit / Greg Miller etc) and go from there.
