She knows they judge her. She knows that she shouldn't care. For what they see she doesn't. But they have no idea. Scars and tears and blood and pain. Everyday she asks herself 'what will tomorrow be?' Will it be scars and tears and blood and pain or will it be a normal person day? Why can't she just live to be herself and not have to please everybody else? Why does she even bother caring what they think? They'll judge her no matter who she pretends to be. Smiles, giggles, laughter, acting just fine, you see? But that isn't her. She's breaking inside. Just because you see what you want doesn't mean its her fault. If she says nothing its not on her shoulders. Can they not see she already has the weight of the world on hand? Your hand is only so big, and eventually like the statue set in stone, so frail, it will crumble. So in the end, the weight of her world will no longer be. It will all go away. She put it out of its misery.

Superb in every way. Highest recommendation
Beautiful hotel. Concierge was not that helpful in locating tours. Pretty courtyard
Amazing boutique hotel
For the price and the stated ratings, we were expecting the best. The internet was continually on and off again.....very aggravating. We were told that it was the service provider and yet other establishments in the area (restaurants), we had not the same problem. Bathtub needs to be re-grouted. The bed was not that comfortable. Did not know until the last day that we could have asked for softer pillows, perhaps it was in the fine print. It is stated that every room has a patio or balcony. Our balcony was about a foot deep and the space was taken with potted plants, really just window doors. A few mornings, the coffee and tea was not set out at breakfast and we had to ask for it and then ask for a refill. One morning a woman hostess in the breakfast area would just stand and stare at different ones from just a few feet away. Very uncomfortable. If this post seems to be negative, it is only to help be aware that you may not get what you expect. If the ratings were lower and the price was on par with other places, we would probably not comment one way or the other.
Great lication

For a championship that usually tries to bore everyone into submission, as Padraig Harrington articulated earlier in the week, the 103rd US Open was in danger of becoming interesting.
Thursday saw the 53-year-old Tom Watson enjoying a special day with his caddie Bruce Edwards, who is suffering from the degenerative disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known in the UK as motor neuron disease). On Friday, Vijay Singh scored the 21st round of 63 in a major championship to tie Jim Furyk for the halfway lead on seven under par.
And Tiger Woods was three strokes behind and ominously announcing that he was "right where I need to be".
But the world No 1 did not remain there very long. Woods needs to retain his crown here to avoid leaving town without a major title to his name. But in yesterday's third round he was unsettled as early as his second shot when a spectator whistled on his backswing.
It might have been expected from the trains rattling by to the left of the first fairway but Tiger immediately swung to his right and glared at the miscreant. His ball was pushed into a bunker and though he pitched on to the green for three he failed to make an opening birdie on the par five.
Woods had taken a three-wood off the tee, while Eduardo Romero, his playing partner who will be 49 next month, walloped a driver and made the green in two. Tiger continued his cautious approach but failed to make a birdie on the front nine. He went over the green at the fifth and failed to get up and down, three-putted for a par at the sixth and did the same for a bogey at the ninth.
After dropping two more shots at the 10th and the 13th, Woods finally holed a long putt for a birdie at the 14th but immediately missed a six-footer for par at the next to drop back to level par, before dropping a further shot on the 16th. Perhaps Tiger's only hope is to come out all guns blazing today - he seemed to hit more fairways playing aggressively on Friday - but it is curious that in the three biggest events of the years so far, here, the Masters and the Players, he has been far from his best.
Singh and Furyk both picked up their second birdies of the day at the sixth to move to nine under. Furyk then claimed a three at the ninth to become only the third player ever to reach 10 under in a US Open, and the first not at Pebble Beach. A bogey at the next, however, quickly dropped him back again.
Nick Price had got to nine under in a blistering start before dropping back almost as quickly. The 46-year-old three-time major champion birdied the first four holes with some brilliant approach play. He saved par from a bunker at the fifth and two-putted for another birdie at the par-five sixth.
But he was buried under the lip of a bunker at the seventh to drop his first shot and further bogeys arrived due to poor driving at the ninth, 11th and 12th holes. Watson, playing with Price, could not maintain his challenge as others like Dicky Pride, with a 66 for four under, moved up as the wind strengthened.
Darren Clarke, starting at one under, felt he had an opportunity to move into contention but had only one par in the first eight holes and finished with two bogeys to be one over. "Once again I haven't taken my chances," he said.
Considering Justin Rose, also one over after a 70, was not happy with his swing at all at the start of the week, his debut in the US Open has again shown the 22-year-old's battling qualities. "The swing is beginning to feel better," he said. "I don't panic any more when it doesn't feel right and that is half the battle. My aim was to finish under par and if I only do it on Sunday evening, that is the best time."
Singh's round of 63 on Friday was only the fourth such score in the US Open, following Johnny Miller, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf, and matched his own effort in the US PGA at Inverness in 1993. But there was no escaping the fact that the 40-year-old Fijian is a controversial figure following his comments about Annika Sorenstam playing in the Colonial tournament last month. Singh was reported as saying he hoped the Swede missed the cut and that had he been drawn with her he would have withdrawn.
Having won the Byron Nelson Championship amid the furore on the eve of the Colonial he pulled out of the tournament anyway. Singh attempted to clarify his remarks but that has been deemed by much of the media here to be an apology for an apology. As he came up to the 14th green on Friday, having hit an eight-iron to four feet, one spectator suggested that Annika could have done better.
The matter might have rested there - no obscenities were involved - but for Singh's caddie, Dave Renwick, making a response to which the man suggested he say it a bit nearer. The spectator was escorted out. "I didn't know there was anything," Singh said. "I hit a good tee shot, an eight-iron, made the putt and went to the next hole." Asked about waving his club, which appeared to be in the direction of the heckler, Singh said: "I was waving to my caddie."
Singh added: "I focus on what I do and that's playing the golf course and golf tournaments. I don't read too many newspapers. I just don't let things bother me. I focus on what I'm doing and let everything else take care of itself."

Cliff's Bar
My wife's uncle Cliff died last Saturday at the age of eighty-nine. Today is his funeral. He served in the Army Air Corps in World War II. After the war, he came home to Hutchinson, Minnesota, took a job that he would work at until retirement, got married, and never ventured far from the area again.
He and his wife moved into a house that they lived in until last year. Visiting it was like entering a time machine set to 1962 or thereabouts. Very few things in the always clean house were acquired after that, although since everything was in such good shape you could almost understand the couple's reluctance to change. The coffee pot may be forty years old, but if it still works why get a new one?
Not surprisingly my favorite room in their house was their basement "recreation" area. The prominent feature in this room was Cliff's basement bar. I've long held a theory the basement bar boom was the product of WWII. Vets returning from overseas had the desire and opportunity to settle down in the wave of new homes built after the war. And after having served far flung tours of duty, they also wanted to have the comforts of life close at hand. Thus the birth of the basement bar. I think the whole sociology of the basement bar would make for an interesting study, one that I'd like to pursue some day.
In order to have a basement bar, you obviously need a basement. Which means there are certain geographic restrictions to where they appeared. However, it's amazing how prevalent they were in homes here in the Upper Midwest built during particular time periods (40s-60s). When we were in the market for a home in late 2007 and 2008, we looked at many that had basement bars. The house that we live in now has one, although its not really the classic version. Cliff's was.
It's hard to appreciate the pure glory of his bar and the entire room for that matter without actually experiencing it in person, but since that's no longer possible, pictures (taken a few years ago) will have to suffice.
The first thing that you notice is the knotty-pine panelling, pretty much a standard in these parts for the basement rec room.
Over the years, you can build up quite a collection behind the bar.
Glasses, knick-knacks, and bottles.
Interestingly enough, I have this same Florida souvenir bottle in my bar.
No bar is complete without a beer light (or several of them).
What really sets it apart though is the little things.
Anything that plays on words is popular.
Another classic: the drunk hanging on the street lamp.
It was always happy hour at Cliff's.
Flavor of the South Seas. Why? Because.
A family of Old Crows and another beer light.
Of course, not everything works.
Gee, thanks for the hand-crafted poodle.
Another must have in any classic Midwest bar--whether on Main Street or in a basement--is a collection of wall signs. Use of off color language and adult humor is strongly encouraged.
As are cracks about sex.
("Sex" It's the most fun you can have without laughing)
(I don't ask for much out of life
Just a little beer money
Just a little food money
and every now and then
As I said, it wasn't just the bar either. Check out this corner of the room.
Teal colored walls. Checkerboard floor tiles. Vintage chair and ottoman. Cool light. And the girly calender.
Yup, that is indeed a Grain Belt calender from 1977.
In this corner, we find another chair and more to appreciate on the walls.
Another must-have for a Minnesota basement bar, a Hamm's sign.
What's that underneath the speaker?
Yes James, that is the work of one Art Frahm.
PBR me.
These wicker bar stools now seat people in our basement bar. One sure way that the memory of Cliff's bar will live on.
Here's a toast to you Cliff. R.I.P.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – J.J. Watt is on a lot of minds at the San Francisco 49ers' facility this week.
Trying to contain the Houston pass-rusher is Job One for the entire San Francisco offense. The reigning NFL defensive player of the year is off to another hot start, and the 49ers are bracing for their first meeting against him.
"He can ruin a game. He can ruin a game for his opponent," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "J.J. Watt is one of the top players in this league. Strong, great ability to rush the passer, gets past blocks and then on the quarterback almost immediately when he's able to that. He's able to run and use his length. A lot of really good things to his game."
Watt is famous for swatting passes. 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knows he must be prepared for Watt this week.
"He's someone, if he doesn't feel like he's going to get to the quarterback, he's going to jump up and try to block a pass, try to make a play any way he can," Kaepernick said. "He's a great effort player. So he's going to try and make a play anywhere on the field any chance he gets."

What makes Lost appointment television?
It's the twists. There are plenty of other reasons why Lost is a great show — the character development has always been exceptional; the dialogue, editing, and direction is among the best on the tube; and the actors are towering giants of pretending to live on a deserted island for 100+ days.
But the twists… man, the twists are what grabs ya. They clutch your throat, throw you down on the couch, and force you to spend your Thursday nights at home watching ABC.
The flip side of the twists, of course, is the answers… and that's where Lost has, in the past, failed to deliver. This season, we have finally started to see some notable blanks filled in, and we've gotten some sense of the scope and dimensions of the fictional world we're watching unfold.
Maybe that's why the two-hour season four finale, "There's No Place Like Home," felt like the least electrifying installment of the series to date — if ya get too many answers, ya start to miss the twists.
It's a tricky balance, walking the fine line between showing too much and not showing enough. There have been moments as a Lost fan where I was ready to throw my shoe at the TV I was so frustrated with the paltry question-to-answer ratio. Every mystery seemed to beget twelve other mysteries; nothing was ever explained.
Finally, around the end of season three, the writers seemed to get the picture, and appeared ready to start telling us what was actually going on. That season three finale was a minor masterpiece of television; it wrapped up so many plots, tied off a number of loose ends, and still left us with some massive questions. Some of these included the fate of the Losties after the island and the story of the Man in the Coffin. The total package had mad momentum and kept me glued to the very edge of my seat.
The season four finale also answers a number of questions, ties up loose ends, and brings to a close a number of the season-long (and in some cases, series-long) plots we've been following. The freighter goes kaboom, and we see how Jin meets his untimely demise. The whole time-travel issue is no longer a theory; it's a fact. Desmond is reunited once and for all with his beloved Penelope. The Oceanic Six get home. We know why they're lying. Locke is the Man in the Coffin.
The only trouble is that laying out all those answers appeared almost matter-of-fact as the two-hour finale unspooled. It's incredibly rare that I've been able to predict where Lost is going to take us in its frantic, twisted roller-coaster ride of a plot; yet last night, I probably could have outlined the two hours of finale during the first commercial break and done pretty well in my forecast.
But none of that would have mattered, really, if I felt like the action itself was gripping. For whatever reason, a number of the plot threads landed with a dull thud in our living room. About the only consistently engaging chunk of the finale for me was the Ben/Locke/Orchid Station plotline, especially when Ben kills Kearny even though he's dooming the freighter and its passengers to certain destruction. It's a remarkably edgy moment for a show known for edgy moments, and it plunges Ben Linus into an even deeper shade of grey.
Maybe knowing who would live and who would die (for the most part) dulled the episode's revelations as well. The Oceanic Six (plus a few) were solidly established going into last night's episode; barring some last-minute über-twist, these characters (if no one else) would survive to the end. It sorta undercut the series' typical anything goes, anyone can die tone.
We're also not left with much to chew on all summer. Mostly, I'm curious to hear what's happened on the island since the Oceanic Six left. Heck, for that matter, where the frak did the island go? To the past? The future? The moon? And of course, how did Locke get off the island, and what has happened to him since? There's also of course the lingering Jacob/Claire mystery, and the immortality of that creepy dude Richard who looks like Rod Serling. (In fact, I think he plays Rod Serling in that Twilight Zone ride at Disney but don't quote me on that.)
What I seek from Lost, more than anything else, is to be forced to sit bolt upright in my chair several times an episode, stunned that they actually went there. The season four finale didn't make me bolt much, if at all, and so I was disappointed. However, if there's one thing I've learned from sixty-plus years of television, it's that any show with a time-traveling island is bound to keep the surprises coming, even if they have to stop and explain stuff sometimes.Powered by Sidelines

In 2006 I started making some crosses just to see what I'd get. I was way behind the curve on working with MATRIX, RENOWN and some other things. I had one stalk of MATRIX so I used it as pollen and made many crosses. Four took.
I had a seedling from ANOTHER JOURNEY (red seedling not introduced) x MASTERY. In maiden bloom, it was cream with mahogany netting on the shoulders. (I knew this would change) I didn't take a picture of maiden bloom, but here is a picture of the second year.
My question was . . . would I get plicata seedlings from a cross with MATRIX? (I'd gotten plicata from another cross to AJ, but not from the MASTERY cross.)
1) seedling # 1906-01
2) Matrix
3) one resulting seedling (maiden bloom) The first to bloom and definitely not perfect, but I thought it was interesting.

THE NEW FFWD F4R-c
With an complete new Carbon/Alloy clincher rim, FFWD Wheels puts the F4R clincher in line with the other F4R models for Tubular and Full Carbon Clincher. The new F4R-c rim now features a 45mm high carbon rim with integrated aluminum brake surface. Increasing the rim height enabled to integrate FFWD's Darc Technology, making it more aerodynamic and a better fit to combine with other FFWD models like F6R and F9R.

Efficient Repeated Implementation
This paper examines repeated implementation of a social choice function (SCF) with infinitely-lived agents whose preferences are determined randomly in each period. An SCF is repeated-implementable in (Bayesian) Nash equilibrium if there exists a sequence of (possibly history-dependent) mechanisms such that (i) its equilibrium set is non-empty and (ii) every equilibrium outcome corresponds to the desired social choice at every possible history of past play and realizations of uncer- tainty. We first show, with minor qualifications, that in the complete information environment an SCF is repeated-implementable if and only if it is effcient. We then extend this result to the incomplete information setup. In particular, it is shown that in this case efficiency is sufficient to ensure the characterization part of repeated implementation. For the existence part, incentive compatibility is sufficient but not necessary. In the case of interdependent values, existence can also be established with an intuitive condition stipulating that deviations can be detected by at least one agent other than the deviator. Our incomplete information analysis can be extended to incorporate the notion of ex post equilibrium.

Michael Phelps - Push the Limit Set to Make a Splash on Kinect
Written Wednesday, February 02, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Have you ever sat and thought that what Kinect really needs is a swimming game? Neither have we, but clearly someone has, as publisher 505 Games has announced that Blitz Games is developing Michael Phelps - Push the Limit for Kinect.
Putting you in the tight Speedo trunks and swim cap of an up-and-coming swimmer, you'll rise through the ranks to eventually take on celebrated swimming star Michael Phelps and hopefully beat him. Utilising a high-speed Phantom HD camera to capture Phelps' movements in incredible detail at 1000 frames-per-second, the game aims to replicate the sport in all its intricacy. Seriously.
Touted as an intense and realistic simulation of swimming, you'll need to master a range of swimming techniques, which to the casual observer will likely make you look like a complete mental case in the middel of your living room. Still, if it helps improve your swimming and has you working up a sweat, Push the Limit could be an interesting prospect for Kinect.
"Push the Limit is a fun, innovative, and physical way to game that is complete with elements that will challenge serious gamers, swimmers and casual fans," said Phelps. "I'm really excited to help bring a one-of-a-kind swimming video game to the market that is reflective of my competitive nature and passion for swimming. This definitely isn't your typical video game; much like my training in the pool, Push the Limit is about improving and mastering every race element - from controlling your adrenaline on the block to perfectly timing your finish."
There's certainly nothing else like it, that's for sure. We'll be able to find out whether that's a good thing or not when Michael Phelps - Push the Limit dives off the starting block in June 2011. Check out the first trailer and screens right here. Splash!

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
We gather many souvenirs from childbirth. Some, like your new baby, are wonderful. Others, such as a sore bottom, are not. For some women, it goes beyond just a sore bottom. If you have extensive vaginal tearing or an incision made in your perineum (episiotomy), the healing process can feel like hell on earth.
Whether you're about to deliver for the first time or you're pregnant again, you might wonder: Is there anything you can do to help prevent tearing during childbirth? I believe there is. For example:
Discuss the topic with your health care provider, too. Does your provider use these strategies? Does the labor and delivery staff support the use of these alternatives for slowing your baby's delivery? Do you need to bring your own oil or is oil available? Is everyone involved comfortable with alternative childbirth positions? Knowing the answers to these questions can further help you prepare or make alternative plans.
Of course, there is no fool-proof method to ensure you won't need stitches or repair after childbirth. But having a plan and feeling empowered to follow it might make this souvenir a little less memorable.
Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
I really appreciate the blog about how to reduce your risk of tearing. Please write one about what to do if you do tear, possibly including information about meeting with a Pelvic Health OT or PT to work on scar work, posture, manual therapy, and exercises.

Matt Saracen turned down a chance to leave small-town Dillon, and Zach Gilford is just as reluctant to say goodbye to "Friday Night Lights."
Gilford, who appears only in a handful of episodes this season, says he knows the high-school setting means characters will leave as they graduate. That doesn't mean he's going quietly.
"I literally said to my girlfriend: 'This is such a good show. I'm [angry] to be leaving,'" Gilford tells The LATimes' Show Tracker's Todd Martens. "It makes sense for my character, but it's so quality, and it's so fun to work on."
Gilford gives a long, nuanced look at Matt's character, what kept him tethered to his small-town life and why it was time for his character to leave.
"He's always been the guy who put everyone ahead of himself, and this season he did it again," he tells Show Tracker. "That's why he was still in Dillon. His arc this year is figuring out that it's time for him to put himself ahead of everyone else, and realize that it's not going to be the end of the world if he does that."
(Be warned: The interview contains spoilers for those who have to wait for the episodes to air on NBC.)

Lemon Oregano Shrimp over Peppered Couscous
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
This Middle-Eastern recipe sounds delish and is healthy to boot! It is from Eatingwell.com. They also recommend sprinkling pine nuts and feta cheese over the top!
Ingredients Nutrition
For the marinade
- 1 large garlic clove, minced fine
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
For the couscous
- 1⁄2 red bell pepper, cut into fine dice
- 1 1⁄4 cups chicken broth (may sub veggie broth)
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3⁄4 cup couscous
For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, pepper and shrimp. Mix gently and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- To make the couscous, combine the bell pepper, broth, pepper flakes, salt and olive oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the couscous, cover and remove from the heat for five minutes.
- Lift the lid and fluff the couscous with a fork. Set aside while cooking the shrimp.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Discard marinade.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan until very hot and add the shrimp, making sure not to crowd the pan.
- Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the shrimp curls and is almost opaque.
- Add the wine, scraping up the brown bits from the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by almost half, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the butter and swirl in until it has thickened the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Place a scoop of couscous in shallow bowls and top with shrimp. Drizzle sauce over the top.

I made it exactly as written but skipped the feta cheese as other reviewers suggested. It was the best recipe I've tried in a long time, absolutely delicious!
This turned out to be a really easy, delicious dish that I will definitely be making again. I did not add the feta or pine nuts and felt that the dish was flavorful enough without them. Thanks for posting this keeper!
As I would expect from a fellow Bum Bag Hag, this was really delish! I followed the directions exactly, except for that I only had somewhat smaller shrimp. This resulted in the shrimp getting overcooked somewhat as the sauce reduced, but that is not the fault of the recipe! I didn't add any feta or pine nuts, and didn't miss them. Made for ZWT6, Whine and Cheese.

That's what everyone is wondering today after Joe Girardi announced he had no results from Pineda's MRI today in New york, because the pitcher and his agent, Fern Cuza, "had requested a second opinion.''
Nothing wrong with that, except that Cuza made the request on Saturday, before the Yankees had even gotten the first opinion from their team doctor, Chris Ahmad. It is just another strange turn in the puzzling saga of Pineda, who had been counted on to hold down a rotation spot for the Yankees but now may not pitch for a long time.
According to a source I spoke with, it is not unusual for players or their agents to request an exam with a doctor the player or agent knows and trusts, and apparently Cuza trusts Dr. David Altchek, the Mets team doctor, from the days when Pedro Martinez, another of his clients, played for the Mets.
But it does seem unusual for the request to be made before the results of the first exam have come back yet, raising the possibility that Pineda is hurt worse than the Yankees thought and shared that information with the agent and not the team.
It may be significant that over the past couple of days, the Yankees media notes have changed the designation of Pineda's injury from "right shoulder tendinitis'' to "right rotator cuff tendinitis.'' That could explain Pineda's lack of velocity in his last start for the Mariners last September, a problem that carried over into spring training, although I am told though another source that Pineda did not pick up a baseball all winter.
In any event, the full story won't come out until Wednesday afternoon at the earliest, if then. I wrote a news story with some more detail that will be on the website shortly.

Computer Game The 10 Coolest Pointless Moments in Gaming.
55k views 10 items Embed
"The Devil's in the details". Or was it "God lies in the details"? I'm not sure which quote is more correct, but one things for sure, details are hella important, especially in video games. Those little things that for one reason or another elevates the game beyond its competitors. It's usually something fairly pointless or useless, but it's just cool. The following is a list of some of gaming's biggest little moments.
List Photo: uploaded by AdamThomas
Petty Naming Screens (Uniracers)
Back in the long ago, the before time, when games were 16 bits a little war erupted between the two giants: Sega and Nintendo.
The first shot was fired by Sega, when they claimed that "Genesis does, what Ninten-don't!"
And this wasn't something said in an E3 press conference, or as a snarky comment in an interview. This was their ad campaign.
That's ballsy right there. No obvious parody using "Brand X", or implied inferiority of their competition. It was just Sega straight up calling Nintendo out like they were drunk at a bar and Nintendo had hit on Sega's girlfriend. Sega wanted to take this outside.
Of course this attitude was thus carried over into every single schoolyard in America. Battle-lines were drawn and soon everyone was seeing insinuations in even the most harmless animations, like in Sonic the Hedgehog's intro screen where he waves his finger . . .
... amongst my friends, that was Sonic saying, "No no, Mario!".
If you were a Nintendo fanboy, it became frustrating since it seemed like the Big N was constantly trying to take the higher ground. While not responding to such petty taunting makes perfect sense to the adult mind, to a child, it's like letting your enemies win without fighting back.
Eventually though, Nintendo did start tossing in jabs here or there, but man were they subtle. The best example has to be in one the SNES's most intriguing little games, Uniracers.
This 1994 release about the ghosts of epileptic acrobats possessing unicycles in a series of apocalyptic death races (that was the plot right?) is probably the only thing, let alone game, that has ever tried to make the unicycle cool. More amazing was that it actually worked, since the game was kickass.
So what happened if you tried to enter the name "Sega" or "Sonic" on the name entry screen? Well, then Uniracers declared you to be:
"Not Cool enough."
DAYUUUMMN! You just got told. By Uniracers. That's low.
Of course these sort of petty jabs at the competition were from an age long past. We'd never see any major corporation ever stoop so low after the 90's. Right?
Mega Man's Hadouken (Mega Man X)
Everyone loves a good secret in a video game.
I mean especially the ones that are completely hidden. The stuff that no one in their right mind would ever think of doing, but if you do, you get that sense of wonder and satisfaction that only come from exploration. You feel like Indiana Jones must have felt when he first spotted the Cross of Coronado or the sense of perverse awe that comes when you and your grade school buddy make your first hand vagina.
As demonstrated here by two amoral Italian gentlemen.
The thing of it is, most secrets in games are actually worth something. You unlock a costume, and that can help relieve boredom and add some novelty. You discover a secret code for more lives, and that's just plain useful. You find a hidden summon or weapon, hell, these bad boys are often game breaking.
But then there are the secrets that for all intents and purposes, are useless.
Maybe it's like the Adventure Easter Egg (by all accounts the first one), and all you've stumbled upon is a hidden developer credit. Or maybe it's changing the announcer from a friendly guy into a total jerkwad. Or maybe it's just a stupid photo of an annoying character after searching a desk fifty fracking times.
The more hidden and more useless these are, the more of a gigantic cocktease they become.
Kind of like Superman here.
But for my money there was no secret more teasing than the one in Mega Man X.
At the time, this secret was up there with the whole Sheng Long in Street Fighter 2 rumor in terms of legend. I mean the requirements are kind dumb-f**k-tarded.
You have to :
1) Beat all 8 Mavericks Bosses (OK).
2) Get all Heart and Sub Tanks, (Alright).
3) Get all the X-Armor upgrades (still don't see what the problem is).
4) Go to a specific spot in a specific level that not very obvious, and then jump into a pit and die - FOUR TIMES. (Wha?)
If you do all this, then on the fifth time you go to the spot, Dr. Light appears in Ryu's Gi and teaches Mega MAn how to do a hadouken. Cries of "BULLS**T!" echoed across many a playground upon this revelation. So of course this secret turned out to be one hundred percent accurate.
But this is all just a tease because well, you have to put in a ton of effort for a new attack that's, well . . . terrible.
I mean Mega Man can already fire energy at enemies all the time. Having a fancier way to do that doesn't accomplish anything. There's pretty much no reason to NEED another way to do this, and there's no reason that such a convoluted means to do this was ever necessary.
But man, it was legendary.
Kombat Kodes (Mortal Kombat)
Like Easter Eggs and other game secrets, everybody loves cheats.
Whether it's the unlockable cheats of Goldeneye turning spies into long-armed Bobble heads:
Or the fun that can be had with noclip:
And lest we forget infinite ammo headbands:
They can all be fun from time to time. For the most part, cheats have some sort of usefulness to them, even DK Mode made headshots easier to pull off (for obvious reasons).
But then there are the Kombat Kodes, which takes the concept of bonus cheats to new levels.
Introduced in Mortal Kombat 3, the Kodes have been an inconsistent feature, but have appeared as recently as the latest sequel. Pretty well thought out, they only show up in versus mode matches and both players have to enter their own 3 symbols into the six slots available. If one person doesn't want them, they don't have to do anything, but if both do it, hilarity ensues in the form of a crap ton of random effects.
Things like disabling throws, headless combat, the lights turning out, vampire modes, "dream" modes and the list goes on. Hell, there's even a Zombie Mode!
This is a prime example of a little touch that adds a lot to a game without actually doing much. Tournament players be damned, Kombat Kodes are awesome!
Awesome Game Over Screens (Sega Rally)
Although plenty of games these days try their darnedest to prevent you from dying at any point, I think it's a shame, as it robs us of one thing I used to love: Ridiculously awesome death screens.
They were a little touch that eased the pain of dying, gave you a laugh or bullied you into trying again, some of these screens were more memorable than the actual games themselves.
Who can forget Resident Evil obviousness?
Thanks Resident Evil. I think I got that.
Or the ominousness of Chrono Trigger?
Oh no! Just like in real life!
Or the Time Paradox Game Over from MGS 3?
Wait. But this game over conflicts with the Chrono Trigger game over and then th- *head pops*
All are great, but for my money the two best come down to either Sega Rally and Total Distortion.
Sega Rally Definitely had the happiest jingle for a game over ever:
How could you not want to try again after hearing that jaunty tune?
But Total Distortion has got to have the most ludicrous:
Hell, I never even played Total Distortion I only found that when searching for funny game over screens, it only shows up because of it's Game Over song. It's pretty much the only thing anyone remembers about this game anymore - that's how awesome it is.
In any case, death screens like these are the perfect little touch that we just need more of damn it.
The Audience (Super Smash Bros.)
Something that you usually don't appreciate after you've played a game for a while is just how spectacular the action on screen is getting. I mean if you're playing as a hyper-cyborg who can fly around with rocket boots, it seems cool at first, but eventually after around hour three or four the novelty wears off, and the hundred foot leaps, mega-powered punches and blood explosions stop being as exciting as they once were.
Ryu here just cut twelve ninjas into bits, I'm pretty sure he's still asleep.
It's a pretty common problem in games, but there are a few solutions.
First you can keep upping the ante, until you eventually reach the level known as Bayonetta
Pictured: a rather average boss in Bayonetta. It has three heads, two of them dragons, one upside down. You know, normal stuff.
You can also try to limit the awesome to appropriate moments and cutscenes, but then it gets frustrating when you can't actually do that stuff in game.
So you can CUT A MOUNTAIN IN HALF during this cutscene Frog, but then you're never again this strong. What the hell dude?!
Or, as another idea, you can actually have the characters in game react to the ludicrous stuff their doing in an appropriate manner. This last method is becoming more common, but one of the best early implementations had to be the audience that's apparently watching every match of Super Smash Bros.
When you blow it, you can hear the crowd audibly wincing, when you knock someone out, they cheer. Recover from almost being knocked out, they'll react with surprise. Do particularly well, and they chant your name.
It's the perfect little touch. Totally and completely unnecessary, but incredibly gratifying nonetheless.
Snake's Dream (MGS 3)
In all honesty I probably could have written this entire list based off of stuff from the Metal Gear Solid series.
Each game comes with dozens if not hundreds of little references, Easter eggs, secrets and an attention to detail that borders on the compulsive.
From Playboy magazines that you can peruse in MGS4, ice that melts realistically for some insane reason in MGS2, Rose breaking up with Raiden if you shoot too many birds (and thus preventing you from saving until you apologize) or the fact that if you let the wolves pee on your box in MGS1, they won't attack you anymore.
Then there are the codec calls, and how damn specific and numerous they can get.
My theory is that Hideo Kojima is either a true genius, or he's secretly Monk.
He make's a terrible final boss: you can defeat him by simply trying to shake his hand.
But the king of the little details as far as I'm concerned is Snake's dream sequence.
At one point in MGS3, you end up stuck in a cell with a bed. If you save and quit the game here, then load the file, you load into something completely insane.
You're now playing as a samurai apparently, fighting undead monsters weilding gigantic hooks. It's in an odd sepia tone and there's no music anymore. If you kill enough of them, you can turn into some sort of werewolfand slaughter them by the truckload, except they keep coming. More and more of them. Eventually you're going to die simply due to attrition as they keep coming and coming and -
Then you wake up. It was all a dream and you're safe now.
What the hell? why did- Guh? Who does that?
This guy.
Completely pointless and totally absurd, this moment shows a game creator going above and beyond the call to bring us something as indelible as it is inane. I think we're all happy he did. I mean, I'm pretty sure we are anyway.
Hugging (Portal 2)
This one's simple:
There's absolutely no reason to allow you to play rock/paper/scissors with, wave to, or hug your co-op partner in Portal 2 but you can.
Sure they toss some mumbo jumbo at you as to why you can do this stuff, but it accomplishes absolutely nothing in terms of gameplay. It's just there because Valve wants us to spread the love a little more.
It's somehow the most adorable gesture ever conceived and the perfect pointless addition to anything. I hope it ends up in everything.
Thanks Valve.
Everything in Duke Nukem
So Duke Nukem Forever is finally coming out. It's been such a long journey that anyone who was actually waiting for the game in anticipation from years ago has long since stopped being hyped for it.
Hell, it's been so long that people are now capable of looking back upon his last official game with nostalgia. Legitimate nostalgia too, seeing as it was OVER A DECADE AGO.
Adjusted for age compared to social relevance, these two should look like your grandparents at this point.
Duke Nukem 3D came out so long ago, that it's actually hard to remember why the hell it mattered. It came out so long ago that it qualifies for social security. It came out so long ago that the George Lucas was still remembered fondly. It came out so long ago that multiple Jay Leno comedy routines have come and gone - that man changes his routine every time a redwood dies of old age! It came out so long ago that- well I think you get the point.
So why did we dig the Duke?
I mean Duke certainly had some kick ass one liners. Except . . . they were all stolen. Or at least his best ones were. Before the devs started ripping off Bruce Campbell and Rowdy Roddy Piper, this was the best Duke could come up with:
Oprah Duke? Really?
As to the gameplay? Well, it was pretty much a generic first person shooter in a lot of ways. It was good, but nothing super spectacular. You didn't have any cool unique abilities other than the jetpack and a couple of guns that shouldn't be as practical as they were, but nothing crazy.
No, what Duke Nukem 3D had was . . . stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.
From light switches you could turn on, water fountains you could drink from, destructible toilets, cash registers you could open, film projectors you could use, references to Doom Marines and of course, strippers, Duke Nukem had just a ton of . . .stuff.
It's what set the game apart from the pack, all these little things that you could do. It brought interactivity to a new place, especially considering the time it came out in. And if the first reports, demos, and trailers are any indication, Duke Nukem Forever is going to have a crap ton of . . . stuff as well.
From what I've seen we've already got: drinkable water fountains, playable slot machines, playable pool, drivable trucks, crankable cranks, punchable sacks, throwable feces, usable urinals, working "massagers" and even more strippers!
Hell, even peanut butter gets used as a weapon when you're tiny!
Duke Nukem - he's got stuff. And lots of it. It's exactly why we love him.
Well, that and the strippers.
