TOKYO, February 13, 2014- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503)announced today it has developed a new technology, Smart Air Coating, which helps to keep metal and plastic products free of dirt mixed with water, snow or ice, and dry dust and dirt. The company plans to apply the technology in products as soon as possible.
Smart Air Coating forms a micrometer-level concavo-convex surface coating with super-water repellence to protect the surfaces of metal and plastic materials. Its superhydrophobe surface made of hydrophobic resin with nanometer particulates is applied on top of a reinforcing layer that contains coarse, micrometer-sized particles to form homogenous concavo-convex surfaces, which trap air. The acuteness of the surface's convex and concave angles is controlled by the size and shape of the coarse particles. As a result, the superhydrophobe surface forms a micrometer air film that prevents water permeation and inhibits the adhesion of substances including dirt, water, ice and snow.
Other Features
Highly practical
|Easy coloring and coating
|Applicable to metals, plastics and more
Mitsubishi Electric's existing antifouling coating technology, Hybrid Nano Coating, reduces the adhesion of various types of hydrophilic or hydrophobic dust. It is applied to the surfaces of products such as room air conditioners and ventilating fans to reduce grime, which can hinder the operational efficiency of such products. Smart Air Coating also inhibits the adhesion of water, snow or ice mixed with dirt, which can further degrade operational efficiency as well as appearance.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has registered "hybrid nanostructured coating" as a trademark and has applied to register "smart air coating" as a trademark.
Pending patents for the technology announced in this news release number seven in Japan and four abroad.

Nutrition by Rudolf Steiner
Book DescriptionOur instinctive knowledge of which foods are helpful and which are harmful appears increasingly to be fading. We are bombarded with advice, information and prescriptions as to what we should eat and drink, but the issues surrounding nutrition - questions of health, diet, taste, even ecology and sustainability - remain largely unresolved. Unlike most commentators on this subject, Rudolf Steiner tackles the theme of nutrition in a refreshingly open way. At no point does he try to tell us what we should or should not be putting into our bodies - whether with regard to an omnivorous or vegetarian diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, and so on. The job of the scientist, he says, is to explain how things act and what effect they have; what people do with that information is up to them. However, he emphasizes that our diet not only determines our physical wellbeing, but can also promote or hinder our inner spiritual development. In this carefully collated anthology, with an introduction, commentary and notes by Christian von Arnim, Rudolf Steiner considers nutrition in the light of his spiritual-scientific research. He explains the impact of raw food, vegetarian and meat diets, the effects of protein, fats, carbohydrates and salts, individual foodstuffs such as potatoes, beetroots and radishes, as well as the impact of alcohol and nicotine. His insights are vital to anybody with a serious interest in health, diet and spiritual development.

Life of the Human Soul, Paperback (November 2016)
How are we connected to the world around us? This question, says Rudolf Steiner, is one that lives subliminally, drawing us into the depths of the psyche. There, our candle of consciousness tends to flicker and go out. But spiritual schooling can relight it, so that we learn to perceive realms of our being beyond the restricted self.
Initiation Science, Paperback (November 2016)
In an astonishing series of lectures on the science of spiritual knowledge, Rudolf Steiner begins by addressing an audience in Dornach, Switzerland - where, only months earlier, his architectural masterpiece, the first Goetheanum, had been destroyed by fire.
Our Connection with the Elemental World, Paperback (November 2016)
The heart of this volume comprises Rudolf Steiner's commentary on the elemental forces that are responsible for our earthly nature as human beings - forces that influence us through our membership of a national or geographical group. When such elemental forces are not recognised and understood, he states, they cause conflict and chaos.

Author Biography - Rudolf Steiner
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy 'anthroposophy', meaning 'wisdom of the human being'. As a highly developed seer, he based his work on direct knowledge and perception of spiritual dimensions. He initiated a modern and universal 'science of spirit', accessible to anyone willing to exercise clear and unprejudiced thinking. From his spiritual investigations Steiner provided suggestions for the renewal of many activities, including education (both general and special), agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy, religion and the arts. Today there are thousands of schools, clinics, farms and other organizations involved in practical work based on his principles. His many published works feature his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal development. Steiner wrote some 30 books and delivered over 6000 lectures across Europe. In 1924 he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world.

Borne on the breath of the bow, Bach's works for solo violin offer perhaps the most intimate connection to the composer. As Beznosiuk puts it, "the notion of interpretation seems irrelevant".
Yet the minutely stretched rhythms in this exquisitely recorded performance are unmistakably his. While the Partitas search for beauty, the Sonatas seem to search for meaning, and it is in the complex arguments of the C major and A minor Sonatas that Beznosiuk excels.

Ok, this is certain:
No more statewide muzzleloader tags for bulls or cow. It will be by GMU/DAU.
Unlimited antlerless archery tags will not be valid in List A units.
Muzzleloader cow tags will be list B if the unit is list B for rifle and archery.
3rd season is now 9 days
Nonres cow licenses are now $350
There will be a hybrid draw system for the major trophy units, specifically mentioned was unit 201. This will allow for 20% of the tags available for some units to be available for those with 5 or more preference points.
This is speculative, but will likely go through during the January meetings:
Unit 54 will become List B for cow licenses.
I'm not even sure I can remember the rest, but it is supposed to be sent to me with some other details. I'll keep ya'll posted

text: 000 FXUS64 KAMA 261128 AFDAMA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 528 AM CST Sun Feb 26 2017 .AVIATION... For the 12 TAFs: VFR conditions will prevail at the terminals throughout the valid TAF period. Light and variable winds will be realized through this period as well with mostly clear skies. There could be some 10K foot ceilings around briefly, but it appears this should be limited to KAMA at this time. Guerrero && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 413 AM CST Sun Feb 26 2017/ DISCUSSION... Surface low over eastern New Mexico with a frontal boundary extending from the surface low southeast to along the Red River Valley. Surface ridge will build into the Panhandles today resulting in light winds. A surface trough will also extend from the surface low northeast across the northern portions of the forecast area today. Surface low and associated surface trough then forecast to develop and deepen Monday to the lee of the central and southern Rockies resulting in increasing southwesterly winds. Surface low to track south into southeastern Colorado or northeastern New Mexico Tuesday with a cold front extending east across southwestern Kansas or the Oklahoma Panhandle by late Tuesday. High level cloudiness will rapidly increase Tuesday as an upper trough approaches from the western states and Rockies. Upper trough to track east across the Panhandles Tuesday night into early Wednesday with the cold front pushing south across the forecast area Tuesday night. Although short range and medium range models still forecasting some light precip mainly over the extreme northern Panhandles, models have backed off significantly on precip and mainly confined to the extreme northwest or northern portions of the forecast area late Tuesday. Decided to back off on precip Tuesday night with mainly light rain over the far northwestern Panhandles Tuesday afternoon. The dry air mass in place should not allow for much or any precip to reach the ground. Patchy blowing dust may be possible Tuesday afternoon across southwest and south central Texas Panhandle. Surface high pressure to build into the Panhandles Wednesday with dry and much cooler conditions expected. Surface high shifts east and south away from the Panhandles during the latter half of the week as surface low pressure develops and deepens by Thursday and Friday. Another cold front to push south into the forecast area Thursday which could stall Friday. Warmer and windy conditions Friday and Saturday and continued dry. Schneider FIRE WEATHER... No elevated or critical fire weather conditions are expected today due to light winds. Southwest winds are expected to increase by Monday afternoon into the 15 to 25 mph or 20 to 30 mph range with gusts to near 35 to 40 mph as surface low pressure to the lee of the central and southern Rockies develops and deepens during the day. Minimum afternoon relative humidities will mainly range from around 10 to 20 percent across the Panhandles Monday afternoon. Opted to issue a Fire Weather Watch across mainly the western Texas Panhandle Monday afternoon into early Monday evening where higher confidence expected of 20 foot wind speeds and minimum afternoon relative humidities meeting criteria. High level cloudiness is expected to increase on Tuesday with skies mostly cloudy to cloudy through the day. These high clouds could put a damper on wind speeds and relative humidities by inhibiting a strong mixing process to take place. A deep surface low will move to near northeast New Mexico or extreme southeastern Colorado Tuesday afternoon with a cold front near southwestern Kansas or the Oklahoma Panhandle by late Tuesday. Still expect downsloping 20 foot southwesterly winds to increase to around 25 to 40 mph with gusts to near 50 to 60 mph Tuesday afternoon. Although the 20 foot winds may be less than forecast, still should be strong enough to meet wind speed criteria for critical fire weather conditions. However, relative humidities may only fall to near 15 percent to around 20 percent due to the thick high level cloudiness. Decided to hold off for now on a Fire Weather Watch for Tuesday, although elevated to critical will still be possible. Elevated and/or critical fire weather conditions will also be possible Wednesday and Friday. Schneider && .AMA Watches/Warnings/Advisories... TX...Fire Weather Watch from Monday afternoon through Monday evening for the following zones: Dallam...Deaf Smith...Hartley... Moore...Oldham...Potter...Randall...Sherman. OK...None. && $$

Living the Christian LifeMary Bartholomew, via The Good Book Stall
The first pages give a short biography of William Grimshaw, the second part is quotations taken from four manuscripts discovered in 1963 but then 'lost' and re-discovered among papers at John Rylands University Library of Manchester and passed to Hartley Victoria College where Faith Cook and her husband Paul were able to read what Grimshaw had written in his own hand. This little book is a collection of quotations taken from those manuscripts and published during the three-hundredth anniversary of William Grimshaw's birth.
Every piece is a gem of wisdom, to be treasured in your heart and pondered upon throughout your life. Addressed to all attempting to live the Christian life, there is guidance and assurance for everyone. I have been deeply impressed and recommend this treasure to all.

Freedom and Its Betrayal
Six Enemies of Human Liberty
AUTHOR: Berlin, Isaiah
PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press
Also available at Amazon.com
Isaiah Berlin's celebrated radio lectures on six formative anti-liberal thinkers were broadcast by the BBC in 1952. They are published here for the first time, fifty years later. They comprise one of Berlin's earliest and most convincing expositions of his views on human freedom and on the history of ideas--views that later found expression in such famous works as "Two Concepts of Liberty," and were at the heart of his lifelong work on the Enlightenment and its critics. Working with BBC transcripts and Berlin's annotated drafts, Henry Hardy has recreated these lectures, which consolidated the forty-three-year-old Berlin's growing reputation as a man who could speak about intellectual matters in an accessible and involving way.
In his lucid examination of sometimes complex ideas, Berlin demonstrates that a balanced understanding and a resilient defense of human liberty depend on learning both from the errors of freedom's alleged defenders and from the dark insights of its avowed antagonists. This book throws light on the early development of Berlin's most influential ideas and supplements his already published writings with fuller treatments of Helvétius, Rousseau, Fichte, Hegel, and Saint-Simon, with the ultra-conservative Maistre bringing up the rear. These thinkers gave to freedom a new dimension of power--power that, Berlin argues, has historically brought about less, not more, individual liberty.
These lectures show Berlin at his liveliest and most torrentially spontaneous, testifying to his talents as a teacher of rare brilliance and impact. Listeners tuned in expectantly each week to the hour-long broadcasts and found themselves mesmerized by Berlin's astonishingly fluent extempore style. One listener, a leading historian of ideas who was then a schoolboy, was to recount that the lectures "excited me so much that I sat, for every talk, on the floor beside the wireless, taking notes." This excitement is at last recreated here for all to share.

He is literally a legend in his own lunchtime: Chris Moncrieff, who has spent nearly 40 years bringing the country the biggest stories from Westminster, has had the press bar of the House of Commons named after him.
Unfortunately, even as lobby hacks at the new Westminster watering hole toasted his health last week, Moncrieff was in hospital for tests after complaining of breathlessness. Now well into his 70s, the man for whom "Lunchtime O'Booze" may have been created has told close friends that he may finally be ready to pack up his pen.
It is hard to believe. Moncrieff, the past political editor of the Press Association national news agency, retired some years ago but refused to fade away, and has kept on reporting Westminster in his own inimitable, orotund style, a cross between Mr Micawber and W C Fields. He may well be the first journalist to be honoured with his own bar; there is a remarkably accurate portrait etched in glass behind the pumps, back-lit in blue.
The irony is that Moncrieff gave up imbibing strong drink more than 20 years ago, and has been teetotal ever since. Today's young, thrusting and dynamic lobby journalists may not even realise that the shuffling figure clutching a pile of papers under his arm was once so famous for his love of Guinness that the brewers presented him with a single share in a frame.
He was once berated by Iain Paisley: "Mr Moncrieff," said Paisley, "is that the devil's buttermilk on your breath?" Stories about Moncrieff's drinking exploits used to be legion, the stuff that lesser souls would use to entertain each other in Annie's Bar, the plush MPs' and journalists' pub in the Commons where Moncrieff was a mainstay.
He went to the Falklands after the war on Lady Thatcher's victory flight – a drink-free RAF Hercules – armed only with his pen, a battered notebook and a double six-pack of Guinness. No raincoat was ever necessary for Moncrieff in his drinking days. He recalled later seeing Lady Thatcher at Goose Green sitting proudly on the saddle of a gun, encircled by squaddies. Never one with much of a sense of humour, she turned to the soldiers and asked: "Will it jerk me off?"
Reporting on John Major's first tour of China, Moncrieff, rushing to keep up with the Prime Minister's entourage, tripped and nearly fell off the Great Wall of China. Major caught him. "I actually couldn't stop myself and I was going to go over the edge and fall hundreds of feet into someone's collective farm," said Moncrieff. "But the Prime Minister, who's a great cricketer, fielded me like he was at long on or somewhere. He saved my life."
"I thought for this act of mercy," Major noted later, "he would say thank you. But I misjudged the great man. He stopped, looked up and said: 'Can I use this story?'"
Moncrieff had a glorious fund of Wildean tales, with which he would regale audiences in the stentorian tones of a chief barker. They often involved his frequent trips to the seaside for the annual party conference. "I was once thrown off a Blackpool tram because I hadn't the right fare for the ride," he once related. "As I alighted, the conductor screamed after me, 'Bloody Tories'." And on another occasion: "I climbed too many stairs to my room late at night. In the morning, I could not find my things. Then I realised I had slept in the wrong room on the wrong floor."
Lamenting the loss of Blackpool to the political conference season, he wrote: "There is a condition in this town known as Blackpool Barmaid's Blindness. Even if you wave wads of £20 notes in their faces as you plead for a drink, they just ignore you and you have to go elsewhere to quench your thirst... The politicians do not like Blackpool for the very reason that I love it – it is not hi-tech enough for them. But it has what no other town has – fresh air and fun."
Once, while waiting to interview Enoch Powell, he popped into a coin-op laundry and put his socks into the washer. They were still whizzing round when the politician returned to his house. Leaving the socks to wash, Moncrieff put his shoes back on and dashed to the great man's front door for the interview. During their fireside conversation, Powell paused: "Mr Moncrieff, where are your socks?"
Never one to mix views with news, he has been cherished by MPs from all sides for his straight reporting and reliable shorthand. Moncrieff was responsible for making household names of otherwise obscure backbenchers, such as Tony Beaumont-Dark, a pipe-smoking Tory MP from Birmingham, by reporting their comments on any subject of current interest.
Some of these backbenchers were regarded as "rent-a-quotes", but Moncrieff was always on hand to give their views a wider audience. He was also the first man they would turn to in a crisis. It was Moncrieff who took the late-night call from Denzil Davies announcing he was going to resign from a shadow ministerial post. The news was often out before MPs could sober up and change their minds.
Moncrieff viewed Margaret Thatcher with something approaching adoration. His PA obit for her is rumoured to begin with the words, "She bestrode the world like a Colossus". The feeling was mutual – Thatcher often praised his tenacity.
Moncrieff has never written his memoirs, but produced a history of PA called Living on a Deadline. He was born in Cherry Tree Hill, Chaddesden, in 1931, the son of a scientist. When he was six, the family moved to Station Road, in Borrowash, Derbsyhire. "To my great shame I went to the Moravian Girls' School. My parents sent me there because they didn't think the council schools were good enough and there were no other suitable ones around. There were other boys there, but it was still very embarrassing."
The family moved to Halifax when he was 12, and despite his parents' wish that he become a lawyer, he decided he wanted be a journalist. He secured his first post on his local paper in Harrogate, covering local fetes – the bread and butter of the grassroots reporter – before moving on to the Coventry Evening Telegraph and the Nottingham Evening Post.
He joined the Press Association in 1962 in London and was soon despatched to Parliament, where he stayed, outlasting a succession of seven prime ministers. He was the chairman of the Press Gallery for its bicentenary dinner, when he introduced Tony Blair as the guest of honour with a host of stories. Blair said that, on becoming an MP, he soon realised that Moncrieff was the "gateway to the nation" and the one journalist that mattered.
"When I was still a new MP I had to ring him from abroad," said Blair. "It was 11pm my time and I didn't realise it was 3am in London. When he answered the phone, I said who it was and he replied, 'Chris Moncrieff here, pen in hand'. No, said Moncrieff, he didn't mind being rung at three in the morning. That was typical of him. Chris is just one of the most remarkable people I have met in any walk of life."Reuse content

We say
A Tico – that is, a native Costa Rican – may mean one of several things when he utters the words pura vida. He may be extending a greeting, expressing gratitude, articulating approval or conveying amazement. Or he may simply be making a positive exclamation somewhere along the lines of "Splendid" or "Awesome!" Translated literally, pura vida means "pure life". It is an oft-repeated and uniquely Costa Rican maxim that encapsulates an entire philosophy and a broad range of life-affirming experiences. So, pura vida is an appropriate response to the news that Thomson (0871 231 4691; thomson.co.uk) has just begun a new flight connection from Gatwick to the city of Liberia, in northern Costa Rica. The weekly flights run on Tuesdays; a test booking for the departure on 16 November, coming back on 23 November, reveals a return fare of only £479.
Scheduled flights from Heathrow via Atlanta on Delta to the capital, San José on the same dates cost £540. The capital is scruffy and dangerous in parts, but worth exploring for a day or two – especailly the Gold Museum.
They say
"This journey to Costa Rica has illuminated the minds of 180 million people ... What a great opportunity and privilege we have to be associated together in a common cause. Viva Costa Rica! Arriba Costa Rica!" – President John F Kennedy at the University of Costa Rica in San José, 20 March 1963.
"Undeniably a nature-lovers' paradise" – The Footprint Costa Rica Handbook by Peter Hutchison (£14.99).
Green and happy?
Costa Rica's progressive environmental policy has resulted in one of the finest national parks systems on the planet. There are currently 68 protected areas in Costa Rica – from wildlife reserves to world patrimony sites. Together they encompass over a quarter of the country's territory.
According to the "Happy Planet Index 2009" compiled by the New Economics Foundation, Costa Rica is the world's happiest nation as well as the world's greenest country. A coincidence? Perhaps not. To sample Costa Rica's natural goodness, Journey Latin America (020-8747 8315; www.journeylatinamerica.co.uk) offers a 14-day highlights tour from £1,767 per person, with scheduled flights extra.
Biological intensity
National Geographic has described Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park as "the most biologically intense place on earth". It certainly has a point. Embracing 13 vegetation zones from rainforest to mangroves, the park is home to a stunning cornucopia of exotic wildlife delights including jaguars, tapirs, peccaries, anteaters, crocodiles, harpy eagles, the Central American squirrel monkey and the country's largest population of scarlet macaws.
The nature-travel specialist Reef and Rainforest (01803 866 965; www.reefandrainforest.co.uk) has been providing tours to Costa Rica for 20 years and includes Corcovado park in its spectacular 14-day "Wildlife Adventure" tour. It costs £3,174 per person (excluding flights) and also promises options including hiking, zip-lining, abseiling, horse-riding and white-water rafting.
Caribbean dreams
The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica receives considerably more rain than the rest of the country, giving it a distinctive geography of teeming tropical rainforests and mangrove swamps. The Amazon-like expanse of Tortuguero park – a vital nesting ground for sea turtles – encloses a labyrinth of darkly shrouded jungle waterways where you can spot caimans, manatees, boa constrictors and hundreds of species of birds, including the endangered green macaw.
Tucan Travel (020-8896 1600, www.tucantravel.com) offers tours to the region. Costs for seven days are £560 per person including accommodation, beach trips and snorkelling in the dazzling coral reefs of Cahuita National Park.
Walking the clouds
For otherworldly beauty, head to the primeval cloud forests of Monteverde ( www.monteverdeinfo.com), which lies four hours drive from Liberia. Set in cool highlands at 1,440m, the forest's rolling mists supply life-giving moisture to a staggering diversity of vegetation. Above the arboreal canopy, a series of elevated suspension bridges supply sublime views over the park's rugged gorges, waterfalls and the treetops themselves, where you might spot any of Monteverde's 400 bird species, including the endangered but eternally resplendent quetzal. Down below, layers of branches clamber skyward, all swathed in rich green mosses, cascading vines, brightly coloured bromeliads and scores of delicate orchids.
Fiery beauty
Tempestuous volcanoes add an explosive element to Costa Rica's beguiling natural landscape. Volcá* Arenal (www.arenal.net), to the east of the city Liberia, is one of the world's most active and has been making eruptive overtures since the 1960s. Today, an almost continuous emission of lava cascades down the slopes, accompanied by noxious plumes of smoke and the occasional earth-shattering boom. The lava is best observed after dark, when the streams of glowing red magma contrast well against the night sky (and somehow appear all the more menacing). While Arenal's cone is only visible in the dry season (December to April), year-round attractions on the volcano's lower slopes include hiking trails and piping-hot springs.
Sustainable travel?
Costa Rica has no shortage of so-called "eco-lodges". They run the gamut from luxury retreats with full spa facilities to simple research stations with outhouses.
What actually qualifies as an "eco-lodge" – or an ecologically sound enterprise – is hotly debated. At best, the prefix "eco-" embodies an ethical philosophy of conservation and community. At worst, it's self-serving and meaningless.
Whether or not you're looking to travel in style, it's worth checking your hotel's environmental credentials before checking in. Bona fide eco-lodges not only strive to protect the natural environment by using systems of renewable energy, water conservation and recycling, they also employ local people, pay fair wages and contribute to local communities. El Remanso ( www.elremanso.com), in the rainforests of the Osa Peninsula, is one of Costa Rica's finest, with cabins from US$155 (£103) per night.
What Google will tell you
"Costa Rica's territory is so small that it encompasses only 0.03 per cent of the planet's surface but is still within the top 20 richest countries in biodiversity ... It is possible to find more species in 1,000sq km in Costa Rica than in the same area in countries like Brazil or Colombia ... In fact, with only 51,100sq km of total territory, Costa Rica has nearly half a million species, representing 4 per cent of the planet's expected biodiversity."
Costa Rican Tourist Board ( www.visitcostarica.com).
What Google won't tell you –until now
The tranquil fishing village of Punta Banco is perched on the Burica Peninsula, southern Costa Rica, several kilometres north of the fabled surf area of Pavones. Hidden at the end of the road, few travellers ever get this far.
Flanked by sublime beaches and chattering rainforests, Punta Banco supplies ample opportunities for surfing, birding, walking or simply lazing in a hammock. It is also home to one of Costa Rica's oldest and most renowned eco-lodges, The Tiskita Jungle Lodge ( www.tiskita-lodge.co.cr), located within the grounds of a sumptuous 800-acre private reserve.
A stay here costs $475 (£320) per person for three days, including all meals and guides.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is one of those games that many here in the West have been watching anxiously, hoping for it to come out here soon. We have had 'boots on the ground' during the Japanese open beta for Phantasy Star Online 2 and have a full report with videos/screens to share. Check it out!
Gameplay in PSO2 is distinctly old school and doesn't stray very far from the formula that the franchise has been maintaining for the last 10 years. Most of the game consists of accepting quests from the hub and then heading off into a public (or private) instance dungeon to do what needs to be done. If you've played Monster Hunter, God Eater or Phantasy Star Portable, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Now before most of you start groaning about the obvious grind and inevitable monotony of instance dungeon hell, the game does pull off a few (sometimes spectacularly amazing) tricks to spice things up during quest runs.
Read more of Adrian Liew's Phantasy Star Online 2: Japanese Open Beta Preview.
I would try it.. if i understood japanese, guess registiring must be pretty standard but i would be really really lost in game.
To ElvenWolf, From what i seen theres Guides to Help you thru Features of the game and JP language.
Im personally gonna wait a year or 2 for a NA Beta (i hope 1 year max but ...who knows)
PSO was great, and i'll be all over PSO2 once it comes out on NA soils
PSO was about the only reason I could ever have justified my Dreamcast purchase. PSO2 is looking pretty neat so far, hoping for a NA version (soon-ish).
must say, i really dig the atistic looks of this game
Thank you Urthal22 !
I'll check them out and will try, who knows, i might even learn something about japanese!
I loved this game on the old Dreamcast. Is it coming to PC?
There will be a pc release from what I understand, as well as a PS vita release. The game will be f2p and from what I understand (could totally be wrong) you share one account across platforms. Given the wireless (and/or 3g) capabilities of the vita, sounds like a dangerous combination! Might make a vita worth it..
i keep getting confused when you reference 'cash' as to whether you mean ingame or not. the article seems to move back and forth between its uses of the term. perhaps some clarification, please?
otherwise, great news for PSO lovers.
"There are at least two kinds of games.
One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."
Finite and Infinite Games, James Carse
I've been in the beta for about 2weeks now, and I gotta say, it's freakin' awesome! I played PSO and PSU (and the portable versions), so I can definately say they really smoothed things out here.
The combat feels more smooth and polished. For instance, I have a gunblade!! and by pressing shift, you can switch between the gun/blade skills. Being able to go first-person to aim, even with a sword, feels great too.
Character creation/customization is endless! So many options!
I was a little deterred by having to work around the Japanese aspect (I barely know any Kanji....) and even though I can't follow the story, the rest of the game is pretty easy to get used to. And like 'urthal22' mentioned, there is an online guide with lots of translations out there.
"Small minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas."
I'm alos playing it. This game is somewhat "simple yet awesome".
The fighting gameplay is really smooth and fun.
Thank you SEGA!!!
Yeah I've been playing the beta lately , it's amazing. I remember me and my dad back in the day hogging the phone and running the bills up playing this online on Dreamcast. This is oh so very similar, and I love the free aim combat.
I didn't play Phantasy Star Universe because the community sucked in there, but this will be amazing I think.
I get quite frustrated though, I have no idea how to spec my MAG because it's all in Japanese and I'm too busy to read guides... But I'm quite looking forward to an English release .
I hope they don't split us off from the Japanese players though, they never have in any of the other games so I hope they stick to that formula
Currently playing: Black Desert Korea (Waiting for EU)
Always hating on instances in MMOs! Open worlds, open PvP, territory control and housing please. More persistence, more fun.
I am in the OB right now, and so far it's been a lot of fun for me.
Great game design concept ,fun and challenging fast pace skill based gameplay, muilt classes that u can switch anytime(when not in a mission),amazing character creation,and a noob friendly AI Partner system that let up to 3 NPC to join you in a fight.
But it's gets a little bit boring when u have to repeat the same mission for several time to finish all the mission,and lving really does takes quite some time.And 1 char limit at all time (unless you buy a char slot from the shop) hurts me a little.And speaking of Cashshop it does sell gear and stuff in the store,but that doesn't ruin the fun for me(as it's not a PvP heavy game).
I'll rate it 8.5/10,and will recommand anyone who like Action game (Monster Hunter,Devil may cry ect.) to give it a try.
Phantasy Star Online rocked and was one of the first games I ever truley loved. I have high expectations for PSO2 when it comes out here in the US.
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
I played Stalker Online in Russian for awhile. I got by with the knowledge that somewher ein the starter area someone wanted me to kill 10 rats. After that I was pretty lost.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
Kind of of a disservice not to mention that Ship 2 block 20 is the unofficial home for English speaking players. Maybe the reviewer was not aware of that but yeah. Also an English patch is in the works which I guess will be integrated into this game instead of sega doing a NA version.
I can't wait. I have a Vita a ps3 and a pc so I could definately play on any platform I want.

Kind of of a disservice not to mention that Ship 2 block 20 is the unofficial home for English speaking players. Maybe the reviewer was not aware of that but yeah. Also an English patch is in the works which I guess will be integrated into this game instead of sega doing a NA version.
The english patch is made by an unofficial third party. Not by SEGA.
is this actually an MMORPG or just online multiplayer kind?
So What Now?
so it's still using the same tired , boring and repetitive formula PSO used? Who the hell at sega keeps okaying these projects? Not to mention the average shelf life on PSO anything is like 2-3 ish years , which is incredibly poor for a mmo(if you can really call it that).

Are you kidding?? There were LOTS of fun games on the Dreamcast! Hell, I still play SoulCalibur on mine against friends now and then.
I've been playing PSO2 for a couple weeks. It's fun but kind of frustrating to progress in due to it not being in english.
PSO has had quite a following full of people raving about the games for years.
But there's also plenty that are off put by all the stuff they "featured" also, and many people that would rather just play the new staples like monster hunter.
I really do wonder how it will turn out though.
I played the OB, and it's okay. I just don't think it's as great as everyone is saying. I had the graphics pretty high and was still shocked by that it looked so poor, and the gameplay is fun but after a while it gets boring. Maybe if a an NA version is ever released it will be better because I will be able to actually understand quest speech, but I was fairly sure that SEGA closed a lot of its offices in the NA so I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Ohh can't wait to play this!! been miss Phantasy Star Universe ... been while!

Her Name Is Jamie
Am so in love
Can barely believe that
This is happening
Am so in love
Can barely believe
This is happening
Well, she logged on again
And we talked all night
Now it is morning
And we feel so happy
Went by so fast it's
5:31 A.M., I'll never forget this night
I called her
It was great and
I think I love her
I think she loves me
Well, I poured out my heart
And everything
We had such a great time
Her name is Jamie

Cuban missile hits BCS, BCS shrugsDecember 16th, 2010, 4:21 pm by JEFF MILLER, OCREGISTER.COM
Though it has no chance of happening, we love Mark Cuban coming forward and saying he'd pay for college football to start up a playoff system.
Naturally, the BCS responded Thursday by saying thanks, but we're good. Wouldn't want those making all the money to be forced to do anything they don't want to do, even if it would improve the sport they so adore. Just not as much as they adore controlling the finances, of course.
Anyway, you go, Mark. Keep making noise. Keep offering up your millions. Keep pummeling the BCS. We're gonna break through the wall eventually.Read the rest of this entry »

Former Portugal star Luis Figo has criticised his compatriot and Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo after the nation crashed out of the World Cup finals on Tuesday evening.
As he trudged off the pitch in Cape Town, he was questioned why they had been eliminated, to which he responded: "You should ask the coach."
Ronaldo has since said his comments were misconstrued, but Figo feels he should have acted in a better manner.
He said: "My notion of what a captain should do is maybe different to other people. But I think the captain, regardless of whether the team wins or loses, always has to defend the group.
"In the most difficult moments, it is his job to stand up for the team."
