R.B.I. Baseball 2014 coming to Xbox 360, XBox One, iOS, Android
Developed by MLBAM, endorsed by MLB. Don't get too excited though, its actually developed by 2K studios and the guys who made MLB2K, who recently announced that they canceled that series.

Paradox announce Hearts of Iron IV and an RPG called Runemaster.
Hearts of Iron has probably been the game in the series I've gotten into the least, though there were elements of III I absolutely loved. The idea of balancing theory and practice is wonderful (research unlocks and improves the production of planes for example, but the experience gleaned from each physical plane you produce also improves your capabilities.) But it was a bit too locked into WW2. My dream game would be one that covers 1930-1990 (or whenever), not necessarily one about WW2. Paradox games are at their best when they mix all sorts of gameplays. Wikipedia seems to suggest they are moving away from "forced game progression" to "sandbox" play. Hopefully that means a bit more diversity of play and not necessarily one massive war.
Also playing a bit of Banner Saga lately. Very beautiful, and really punishing when you make the wrong* decisions. I can't quite tell how far into the game I am but it feels a bit like a game that creates a tantalizingly expansive world, but the actual game only takes place in a small part of it. Hoping that means plenty of room for modding/expansion.
Feeling the same, but definitely enjoying it. Game, according to what the developers said during kickstarter and confirmed throughout development, is a planned trilogy. Any funding received from microtransactions in the Banner Saga:Factions (just PVP battles with squads of six) are being used in development with the later games. I think modding was discussed but not currently planned
You earn points for playing which let you 'buy' booster packs. You can also use real cash to buy them. I've played dozens of hours without spending real money and enjoyed it.104. Jim Wisinski Posted: January 24, 2014 at 09:18 AM (#4645524)
I'd be up for another Borderlands 2 session tonight. Wouldn't mind having regular BL2 Fridays in fact. I leveled up my lower character some (and got past the rescue Roland mission that we kept doing last week) so I would be happy to host; I am unlikely to have any interruptions105. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: January 24, 2014 at 09:41 AM (#4645538)
Hey Jim I'm leaving for a week in Florida tomorrow (grandpa's 101st birthday!) so tonight is the last night I can play for the next 10 days. I'm all over getting a game going any time after 8:30 or so. I'm currently at level 15 and finally found a sniper rifle I really like, let's dooooo it!106. Jim Wisinski Posted: January 24, 2014 at 11:57 AM (#4645652)
Good timing on coming down here, should be in the 60s for all but a couple days107. Jim Wisinski Posted: January 24, 2014 at 05:10 PM (#4645968)
I'm at 16, just high enough to get the instant teammate revive skill. I think most of the others were 14-15 as well now.108. formerly dp Posted: January 24, 2014 at 05:17 PM (#4645970)
Started my first character on the PC version last week, and already sailed to level 21.109. Moe Greene Posted: January 24, 2014 at 06:14 PM (#4645987)
I'm jealous of you BL2 players.110. Jim Wisinski Posted: January 24, 2014 at 07:50 PM (#4646012)
My sorry laptop can only handle Torchlight 2, and even then, I get a fair amount of slowdown when fighting more than a few enemies at once. Someday I'll upgrade. Of course, by then all of you will be playing BL3.
Alright, so 8:30 EST it is. I'm JimmyTheShovel on Steam if any interested parties haven't added me yet. You're welcome to join us of course DP; at level 21 you'll have a relatively easy time of it and won't gain significant XP (playing with people level 12-14ish last week with my level 21 I gained about 1/5 of a level in 4 hours) but you'll still get to run around and shoot stuff and that's the whole fun of it anyway. Anyone else wants to play with the highly principled Yankee Redneck and I feel free to join up. I'm likely to be available for play till 12:20 AM at minimum.111. BFFB Posted: January 25, 2014 at 07:55 AM (#4646114)

If you ever change your laptop and consider a "gaming" one, bear in mind that you could build an equivalent PC and buy a middle of the road laptop for the same price. Assuming you have the space, that is.
If anyone else is interested in getting into Borderlands 2 you can get the GOTY edition at Get Games Go for $15 right now. It says Mac but since it's a Steam title it'll work for Mac or PC.113. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: January 28, 2014 at 11:35 AM (#4647330)
RE: BL2 - If you don't want the GOTY and just want the vanilla BL2, it's like $6 at Newegg right now. They have a few other deals worth checking out as well.114. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: January 28, 2014 at 01:23 PM (#4647441)

Need some advice, as I'm planning on starting to transition from console to PC. I'm looking into getting a controller and I want to know if a 360 wireless dongle is my best option. I have 360 controllers already, but I'm having a hard time finding the dongle.116. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: January 30, 2014 at 03:00 PM (#4648863)
something like this was recommended to me but 1) I prefer an official microsoft version as this is a knock off and 2) no site mentions whether they are windows 8 compatible.
Ultimately, I don't how I'm going to use steam. It's highly possible that I use it just for 1 person gaming (Assassins creed, Star Wars Battle Front II, etc). I'm told eventually I'll prefer a keyboard/mouse but I might be too set in my ways to adapt.
Please and thank you
Need some advice, as I'm planning on starting to transition from console to PC. I'm looking into getting a controller and I want to know if a 360 wireless dongle is my best option. I have 360 controllers already, but I'm having a hard time finding the dongle.
Any chance you have an older wired controller laying around?
I use a controller for 1st person games myself, cant stand using the keyboard to move around. That being said, I also never play against anyone so if my accuracy isn't all that it could be I dont really care.
115 - I have a dongle myself, and it is a piece of ####. There are major compatibility issues with Xbox 360 controllers and Windows, for some odd reason. The best luck I have had as far as a controller goes is some shitty, PS3 knockoff that I loathe. I hope you have better luck than I.118. The Good Face Posted: January 30, 2014 at 03:22 PM (#4648885)

You can get a 360 controller with an attached USB cable that works great with PC/Steam games for like $30.
I think I'm just going to start with a wired 360 controller...thanks for the help!120. Eric L Posted: January 30, 2014 at 08:11 PM (#4649060)
I have a stupid newbie Steam question: I bought a game assuming Steam would run it on a Mac. I'm getting an "invalid platform" message. Am I screwed?121. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: January 31, 2014 at 09:48 AM (#4649197)
Does the game have a mac platform symbol? Steam should display which systems the games are compatible with.
I haven't seen anything in the world of exclusives that would make me want one of the new consoles over the other. I liked Last Of Us, and Gears of War, and Titanfall looks intriguing.123. Tripon Posted: February 01, 2014 at 12:25 PM (#4649813)
Titanfall isn't really exclusive. Its coming out on PC, and 360 as well as Xbox One. Last of Us is only on PS3, and Gears of War franchise is 360 only so far, but there has been rumblings of PS4 & XB1 ports respectively.124. zack Posted: February 01, 2014 at 01:35 PM (#4649836)
There are major compatibility issues with Xbox 360 controllers and Windows
I think this blatantly false. It may be something with the wireless, I haven't used that. But the 360 controller is basically the default controller for the PC. Any modern game that supports controllers will support the 360, and there are many games that ONLY support the 360 controller. I have to use 360-controller-emulator to get my Logitech controller working with them.
Zack - yes, the wireless. And not false. I think if you click the link you'll find quite a large number of gamers have encountered the same problem I have, as well as other problems. The one I encountered had to do with the y-axis not being stable at all. I only say this from firsthand experience.126. Paul d mobile Posted: February 01, 2014 at 06:13 PM (#4649923)
Does it seem absolutely illogical, especially considering the controllers are made by Microsoft? No doubt. However, I can assure you it is not false.
Destiny and Infamous two are the interesting PS4 exclusives. And possibly the last Guardian.127. Tripon Posted: February 01, 2014 at 10:10 PM (#4649983)
Destiny isn't PS4 exclusive, its coming to XB1, 360, and PS3 as well. Infamous: Second Son is a PS4 exclusive and The Last Guardian is in project development hell.128. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 03, 2014 at 09:01 PM (#4651131)
Well, if I'm trying to decide between the One and the 4, then Titanfall is exclusive; I included the other two as examples of prev-gen exclusives I enjoyed. There's certainly nothing that's been announced that looks worth the opportunity cost of giving up the other. So, like Buridan's ass, I guess I'll just starve.129. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 03, 2014 at 09:05 PM (#4651134)
And if Last Guardian ever actually shows up I'll eat my PS3.130. hokieneer Posted: February 03, 2014 at 09:54 PM (#4651162)
There's certainly nothing that's been announced that looks worth the opportunity cost of giving up the other.
That's where I'm at. I'm due for a new GPU anyway, and for 50-70% the cost of a new console, I thin I'd rather make that investment first.
I will say I have enjoyed the little time I've spent with a friends PS4. Everything about the UI, controller, system hardware, OS, PSN, etc; seems like a great improvement over the PS3. Too bad all he has to play is Don't Starve, DC Injustice, Resogun, Knack, and some shitty F2P FPS that looks like it's about 7 years old. I have not tried out the X-One yet.
The gaming podcasts I listen to seem to think that Last Guardian is coming out in 2014. Agreed that believing it when you see it is a good strategy.132. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:25 PM (#4651174)
I agree that there's no reason to purchase either console at the moment. I'm making my way through my Steam backlist of games I purchased at the holiday sale. So far it's been Brothers, Guacamelee, and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.
I will reëvaluate once there are a few games I'm interested in. I actually wish that Microsoft had followed through on their download strategy changes, because I never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to deal with a spinning disk again. Oh well. Right now, I'm likely to go Sony, because $100, and also because I have no use for HDMI play through and all the other things that Microsoft jammed in there. But I'm not religious about it.133. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:26 PM (#4651175)
Also, Hearthstone is now in open beta134. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:26 PM (#4651176)
It's a lot of fun.
But Kinect!135. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:31 PM (#4651180)
Kinect is nifty. I haven't played any games that make it seem essential, however.136. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:38 PM (#4651182)
Got bored. Maybe this will make gaming with fellow Primates easier: Steam Group
Thanks, I'm signed up and I just connected my computer to the big-ass tv in the living room. Awwww YISS.
About 10 minutes ago my Brother in Law just messaged me to inform me he got an X-One today. He's currently playing Dead Rising waiting for Titan Fall. I'm going to have to go check out the system when I get a chance.138. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 03, 2014 at 10:48 PM (#4651188)
I had a conversation with him a few weeks ago about if he'd take that allotted $500 and save up some more over the next 5-6 weeks till Titanfall comes out, he'd have an acceptable lump sum to build a TitanFall ready PC with (esp with newegg financing). He could even bundle a controller in there or use one of his old PS3 controllers. And with that he'd be spending less per software title with steam sales, access to a wider range of games, could play it on his TV, would not run into the eventual storage space problem the PS4/XOne users are going to run into in ~18 months, no Kinect, etc. I thought I made an impact.
I'm intrigued by the Steam boxes, particularly with so few Sony-only exclusives. I don't really have the energy or interest to build a living room quality PC, so I'll be following along to see what Valve's doing. It does seem to me that Steam Box + PS4 is a much more compelling way to waste the family money than One + PS4. I can't see too many games staying Xbox-only -- I don't pre-order or play much online, so I can wait for games to be ported. Hmmm.139. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: February 04, 2014 at 12:03 AM (#4651202)
All I know, is I keep thinking about what the new consoles cost and how many games I could purchase on Steam for the same amount of money.....then I start thinking about the obscene backlog I already have on Steam.....by the time I even get to the new consoles, they'll probably be about $200 a pop and I'll grab both.140. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 04, 2014 at 08:41 AM (#4651252)
This is all without even delving into the beauty of the Steam Machines....I'm eventually going to throw some old junk together, load Steam OS onto it, and see what I can't already do without buying anything!
Steam Machines are going to run on Linux, and I don't think it's clear that all 3rd party games will be ported to Linux/Steam box.141. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: February 04, 2014 at 08:49 AM (#4651259)
Steam is becoming such a force in the marketing and distribution of PC games that you have to think 3rd party developers are going to want to go where Steam goes. Perhaps Valve can even offer developers a reduction in Valve's cut of the sale through Steam for games coded for Linux to encourage more content there.142. formerly dp Posted: February 04, 2014 at 09:14 AM (#4651272)
Zack - yes, the wireless. And not false. I think if you click the link you'll find quite a large number of gamers have encountered the same problem I have, as well as other problems. The one I encountered had to do with the y-axis not being stable at all. I only say this from firsthand experience.Follow the guide at the bottom of this page and you shouldn't have any problems, even with a third-party receiver. I recently set up a new laptop with Steam/Win 8.1 and a 360 controller, and have been running it without issue. The seamless integration of the 360 controller's a game-changer for me-- haven't turned my 360 on in months, and am now PC gaming from the comfort of my couch. Steam Cloud makes switching back and forth between my desktop (office) and laptop (couch, HDMI into entertainment center) easy. Xbox made it a pain to switch between machines, don't know if this has changed with the One or not.
Just started playing Saint's Row IV, that might be another good option for co-op, tons of fun.
So I spent the evening yesterday in my first foray into couch-based PC gaming and I quickly concluded that I am hopeless - HOPELESS - at playing anything with a game controller. Too many years of keyboard-and-mouse exclusivity have left me helpless as a babe trying to both move and look around with twin joysticks, a problem made even more hilariously confounding by some weird default control schemes (in Batman: Arkham Asylum moving the left joystick down makes you go forward and moving it up makes you retreat). Poor Batman hasn't looked so befuddled since he was doing the Batusi for King Tut.144. formerly dp Posted: February 04, 2014 at 09:36 AM (#4651296)
On the upside the traditional keyboard-and-mouse combo still works fine, if a little awkwardly from couchside. I had occasion to fire up a little BL2 with beloved Primate Szym last night and it looked and sounded great in all it's big screen glory. I'm looking forward to loading up one of the Total War series tonight and putting myself in the middle of some massive cavalry charges.
Well, you picked the right game to try it with-- I can't imagine playing the Arkham series with anything but a controller.145. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: February 04, 2014 at 10:45 AM (#4651360)
The big screen, especially if you have a good surround system and a subwoofer that digs deep, really does add a lot.

Can you invert the axis? There is typically an option for the right 'view' joystick to invert the control, might be one for the left 'move' joystick.

Now YR knows that I drive vehicles in BL2 worse than Jim Leyritz.
Can you invert the axis?
I looked for that option but didn't see it. Of course I was stupidly navigating the menus with the controller instead of a mouse so even that was a chore, I'll try again tonight. I like playing the Batman game with the keyboard and mouse but it seemed pretty obvious that the game was really built around using a controller or being Antonio Alfonseca.
Now YR knows that I drive vehicles in BL2 worse than Jim Leyritz.
What's your mouse sensitivity set at, a million?
Don't forget one very important exclusive - MLB the Show on PS4.Trying to block that one out for the moment. No way I can justify a PS4 purchase right now...had the job not just bought me a gaming laptop, I might be bold enough to ask them for it...
I am in the early stages of writing an article about the PS4/Xbox One/SteamBox controllers, though, so I do have a semi-legitimate need. So far, all my time with next-gen consoles has been courtesy of the local Best Buy.
Now YR knows that I drive vehicles in BL2 worse than Jim Leyritz.
I have yet to meet a single gamer that can drive well in BL 1 or 2. I was hoping when I joined primate PC BL2 party things would be different than my console experiences. PC driving is a touch easier, but not much.
Hey, my driving in BL2 is excellent! Right up until the moment I go off-road and sail over a cliff I'm doing great.153. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: February 04, 2014 at 02:20 PM (#4651517)

What's your mouse sensitivity set at, a million?155. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 04, 2014 at 07:26 PM (#4651756)
My mouse sensitivity is set quite low - from the range of my wrist movement with a non-moving arm, I want exactly 360 degrees of rotation.
The issue I have with the BL2 driving is that my FPS tendency is to want to move the vehicle with wasd and move the camera with my mouse. Unless I've been playing a lot of BL2, the mouse turning is unfamiliar feeling to me.
I usually don't have much trouble with driving in BL2, though I can be sloppy and reckless with it. But as YR can attest I'm ordinarily reckless all the time anyway (though when we were fighting Wilhelm I did take cover! Multiple times!)156.

Gearbox wanted to make that possible but Sony and Microsoft wouldn't allow it because they didn't want XBox and PS owners to be able to play together.161. Swedish Chef Posted: February 05, 2014 at 02:47 PM (#4652166)

I'm really disappointed in the video game offerings for Magic: The Gathering these days. I was just reading up on the recent Duels of the Planeswalkers games to see if one was worth buying and they seem so limited in what you can do as far as deck building is concerned. It's sad that I can boot up my copy of the old Microprose game (from 17 years ago!) and get a more authentic MTG experience than it looks like the current games offer.164.

Jim - The latest Magic game on Steam is actually not too bad. You do get to build decks and mess around with them. There is a Campaugn which unlocks cards for specific decks, but there is also slots for "Sealed Decks" where you can totally customize your own. You are limited in the amount of cards you can get for each slot, but the deck building fun is definitely there.
The AI for current Magic games is also a million times better than what the Microprose game was able to do.168. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 07, 2014 at 09:15 AM (#4653097)
Nutbag, from what I understand you're constrained by pre-selected card sets to choose from for each deck (with the exception of the sealed deck part). Is that not the case? Also, bonus to playing the Microprose game: I actually know the cards. Stronghold was the current expansion when I stopped with the card game.169. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 07, 2014 at 09:16 AM (#4653100)
I did start playing Hearthstone last night and that ended up occupying a lot of my time. At first I was skeptical about how well it would hold my interest but as I played more I really started to enjoy it and get used to the play style. It's definitely jarring though having to get accustomed to creatures not being able to voluntarily block, that was always a significant part of MTG strategy and it still feels very strange to me. I do like it a lot though, I've played enough to unlock all the heroes and so far I'm undefeated in 4 casual matches so that's a nice start.
I know YR is in for Borderlands 2 tonight, who else?170. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: February 07, 2014 at 09:21 AM (#4653102)
Remember kids, BL2 is FREE TO PLAY this weekend via Steam! You have no excuse beyond your own gutless nature and/or Mac handicap.171. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 07, 2014 at 03:25 PM (#4653374)
I've never really cared about getting a tablet in the past but last night I was thinking about how nice it would be to play Hearthstone (not available for tablets now but they plan on it in the future) and other simplish games on one. I was playing on my laptop while sitting on the couch and it's really not that convenient, it's bulkier than I'd like and it limits the position you can sit/slouch/lay in. How many of you use tablets for stuff like that and how is it working out for you (and what kind do you have)?172. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: February 07, 2014 at 03:31 PM (#4653377)
Jim - Yes, that is correct. However, it's just that way with those specialized decks for the Campaign mode, and there are enough of them and you get enough extra cards that there is still some strategy involved with building the proper deck. You will, as you go through the campaign and expansion, need to change up your deck a few times. (Side note: I hadn't played the game in about 20 years until recently, so all the new abilities and stuff took some time to get used to)173. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 07, 2014 at 05:07 PM (#4653413)
The Sealed Deck play though....very much a deck building experience and very much worth it.
Unfortunately, being back at work, unless BL2 sessions start going until around 2:30 AM (PST), I am going to be unavailable, except Sat/Sun. Have fun, watch your asses (literally) and NEVER take your eye off of YR.......he will get lost
Thanks, I don't really want to pay $10 for it (Hearthstone is satisfying my CCG desires for now anyway) but if it goes on sale I might grab it.174. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: February 07, 2014 at 05:14 PM (#4653417)
Jim - For that, I do not blame you. I would certainly wait for a sale. Mine was gifted to me during the last steam sale, I think it was only like $3 or so then. At that price, it's worth grabbing. At $10 or more, I'd wait just in case it isn't fully what you expected.175. Obo Posted: February 07, 2014 at 06:54 PM (#4653475)
I'll be around but I'm only level 12-ish. Last I saw some of you guys playing the levels were close to double that so I didn't join in.176. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 07, 2014 at 07:30 PM (#4653483)
My driving, which is actually pretty decent now, was awful the one time I played with the BBTF folks. I got the truck jammed up against one of those stinging cactus things and couldn't get it moving again. It was kind of sad to see my passenger (can't remember who it was) giving up, climbing out, and go running down the road into the distance.
I really enjoyed the M:TG games on Steam. Yes, they take the major deck building out of it, but there's still some deck building and some fun puzzles. It's worth $5 in a Steam sale.177. GGIAS (aka Poster Nutbag) Posted: February 08, 2014 at 05:42 AM (#4653576)
Has anyone tried, or was anyone going to try, Aerena - Clash of Champions?178. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 08, 2014 at 08:04 AM (#4653584)
Anyone have a 3DS? I've got a jar full of coins, and I was thinking of cashing it in for a 3DS. Between the sequel to Link to the Past, Mario, and Fire Emblem I figure I'll enjoy it, but wouldn't mind some opinions from people who have used it.179. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 10, 2014 at 06:45 PM (#4654502)
I have cracked and purchased a Steam copy of Borderlands 2. It will likely run like crap on my MBP, and I need to get a decent mouse, but perhaps I will show up and play some tonight.180. Manny Coon Posted: February 10, 2014 at 07:09 PM (#4654511)

Get the 3DS XL if you can, the bigger screen is worth it. I have three games, fire emblem, Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (haven't finished this one), I've enjoyed all of them; it can also play DS games, but not GBA. Fire Emblem Awakening isn't as good as Fire Emblem 7, but is better than 8, it's about on par with 9 and 10. Wife has Animal Crossing and has played it a lot. I completely turn off the 3D whenever I play, it seems gimmicky and disorienting to me. It actually uses WPA instead of WEP for wi-fi unlike the normal DS, which is good.
Just bumping this up for any gaming-related needs.182. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 14, 2014 at 05:34 PM (#4657145)
I tried gaming with my PC connected to the big TV last week and although the visual spectacle of playing on a 60-inch TV at 1080p was impressive and the booming sound of my home theater system was truly an enjoyable addition to my gaming experience, I remained totally and utterly useless with a gamepad for any game that required concurrent use of the dual thumb-sticks. In the end I just retreated back to my sad little monitor and dreamed of some sort of configurations that would allow me the comfortable use of my keyboard and mouse in the living room without annoying my lovely and patient wife. I will say that playing Total War and Witcher 2 in the big screen was very, very entertaining.
After noticing that our Primer BL2 contingent was entirely comprised of Sirens and Assassins I decided to go back through the game as a Gunzerker (tank) so that I'd be able to diversify our gameplay the next time we got together. I was soon joined by the esteemed DJS...also playing as a newly-minted Gunzerker. I gotta say, playing with two Gunzerkers is quite a different gameplay experience than playing with a bunch of snipers.
The weekend beckons - Handsome Jack must be defeated!
I've been messing around a bit with a Mechromancer but she's only level 7 and, while fun, I can't imagine not sticking with the Siren for multiplayer. The instant revive with Phaselock and other healing abilities are just too valuable to give up.183. It's TFTIO's Monster, Actually Posted: February 14, 2014 at 07:07 PM (#4657175)
I should be around for the usual time tonight (basically till 12:20ish AM EST).
I should probably try with a different class (my PS3 ZERO was level 55mumble when I accidentally nuked my saves), but I like sniping so much. I am, however, terrible at it with the mouse/keyboard. Maybe I'll hop in tonight with my level 9 assassin and get some sweet, sweet XP love.184. DJS Thinks Apples and Oranges are Similar Posted: February 14, 2014 at 07:21 PM (#4657179)
For those of you in the mid-20s, I have some pretty sweet extra weapons that I've upgraded from but are still quite badass. Free to good home.185. Jim Wisinski Posted: February 14, 2014 at 07:52 PM (#4657186)
Extra BL2 weapons
Those are some real nice guns there. I don't need any of them though, I'm in good shape for weapons in that level range thanks to my higher level character.186. Paul D(uda) Posted: February 23, 2014 at 08:15 PM (#4661192)
I finished Bioshock Infinite. I liked it quite a bit, and more than the first one. I think the bright setting helps with that. I suspect that the story, while fun, will seem dumber the more I think about it. I may just not think about it. Next up on my top games of 2013 is Gunpoint.187. Langer Monk Posted: February 24, 2014 at 07:12 PM (#4661743)
Actually, I'm having a couple of gaming/PC problems, maybe I'll ask here:
Does anyone ahve Max Payne 3 on Steam? I can't play it, because apparently my Club Rockstar account needs to talk to my Steam account, and I can't seem to get that to happen.
Also, sometimes when I'm playing a game or streaming video, my computer will start to beep. This happened in Bioshock and Hearthstone. Does this mean my video card is in trouble?
You may want to have a gadget or something to check GPU temp and CPU temps when you are doing that to see if it's heat.188. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: February 24, 2014 at 07:45 PM (#4661754)
Yeah, I use CoreTemp to check my temperatures after I do anything weird with my system, it's a small free program that should be in your toolkit.189. Tripon Posted: March 08, 2014 at 11:31 PM (#4668480)
Got an update, coming to 360/PS3/iOS/Android in April 10th, PS4/XB1 later. https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/441755908562231298190. Dan Posted: March 08, 2014 at 11:56 PM (#4668489)
I'm not expecting RBI Baseball 14 to replace MLB The Show 14 as a diversion or a baseball simulation, but the iOS version should be a fun game to kill 5-10 spare minutes here or there when I can whip out my phone.191. Robert in Manhattan Beach Posted: March 09, 2014 at 06:23 AM (#4668511)

I bought my daughter a 3DS for Christmas, the XL version or whatever, the one with the bigger screen. It's great, although I just turn the 3D right off every time. My daughter has been hooked on the new Animal Crossing for months. It seems stupid to me but she checks in on that town every day.
I finished Bioshock Infinite. I liked it quite a bit, and more than the first one. I think the bright setting helps with that. I suspect that the story, while fun, will seem dumber the more I think about it.
Yeah, that's about right as far as the story. If I was to play one of them again, I think it would be the first one. I just loved the characters in the first one. Sander Cohen releasing an album called 'Why Even Ask?' gives me a chuckle to this day. I think if I had a fantasy sports team I would name it 'Why Even Ask?'
I got an XL, and its great.
To tie the 3DS and Bioshock Infitite discussion together:194. Paul D(uda) Posted: March 10, 2014 at 08:29 PM (#4669263)
Get the 3DS XL if you can, the bigger screen is worth it. I have three games, fire emblem, Shin Megami Tensei 4 and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (haven't finished this one)
I've now finished Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and if you're interested in a game with story driven by multiple parallel realities, it's writing is done much better than Bioshock Infinite, so long as you don't mind playing a game that is a whole lot of reading and puzzle solving instead of action.
Before I finished that I played the previous game in the series Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, which is pretty decent although not as good VLR, however the two stories tie together pretty heavily, so if that type of game interests you, it is probably worth playing 999 first.
Yeah, it's definitely heat. Gets up to 70 degrees Celcius. Should I take it to a shop and see if they can find out what's going wrong?195. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: March 10, 2014 at 08:33 PM (#4669265)
I was trying to play Tomb Raider and it would not shut up. So I figured I'd reboot it, even though Tomb Raider seems like a lot of fun so far. I'd never played one before, so it's likely I have the cause and effect backwards, but it reminds me a lot of Uncharted, in a good way.
Your CPU or your graphics card gets to 70C? If that's your CPU that's awful news (still bad for the GPU but worse for the CPU). Are you overclocking and/or running an AMD chip?196. Select Storage Device Posted: March 10, 2014 at 09:37 PM (#4669284)
I'm not expecting RBI Baseball 14 to replace MLB The Show 14 as a diversion or a baseball simulation, but the iOS version should be a fun game to kill 5-10 spare minutes here or there when I can whip out my phone.
There's no real reason to expect it to be good on anything at this point. There has been zero info regarding anything about it -- even that date isn't confirmed. And if that is a real date? Smells like a dud. Even crapperific mobile games have media roll-outs one month before release. Something. Anything.
I will happily eat my words if it is enjoyable.
I'm not over clocking, but I've got an AMD Phenom IIX4 920 (Deneb). I don't really know what that means.
Open up the side, make sure all the fans are spinning properly (cpu/gpu/case). And make sure there isn't anything restricting the airflow around the case, like it being backed up smug against a desk or wall etc.199. You Know Nothing JT Snow (YR) Posted: March 11, 2014 at 08:49 AM (#4669383)
Also open task manager (ctrl+shift+esc), and check if any processes are using a lot of cpu clock time.
I'm not over clocking, but I've got an AMD Phenom IIX4 920 (Deneb). I don't really know what that means.
AMD chips tend to run a bit hotter than Intel chips, but even so you're way, way to hot here. In addition to the excellent advice offered by Fancy Pants Handle above, if you're comfortable opening up your case check and make sure there's good contact between your heatsink/fan and the chip itself. You may need to re-seat the heatsink with fresh thermal compound.
Stupid question, but have you vacuumed out your case recently? It could just be clogged up with dust.
And if you're like me, look carefully, because 4 years into owning my current case (and having cleaned it several times), I found a dust filter I had no idea was in there in the front of the case. It looked like a lint trap.
Assuming this is a PC you've had for awhile and it didn't always run super hot.

London escorts are the sexiest
So I have began dating escorts. They can be refined together with hot and many gents only want to take them outside on township to show them a great time. I've to mention that out of all escorts that I've dated, and I've been dating for a great while, I favor the escorts in London. Not only are they open-minded and all set, they can be enjoyable to be with as properly. I'd go as far as to mention that London escorts will be the perfect hot companies for just about any gent.
Most of the dates i had were different. As you find yourself dating in once to superb London escorts Couple relationship isn't for the fainthearted. You should really have a solid constitution to take on 2 women at once. Couple relationship could be an actual experience and also you could find yourself meeting with some bisexual women if you're not unlucky.
My all-time favourite type of relationship is celebration women, although I also do lots of dinner relationship. I enjoy nothing much better than reaching a few of my partners to order some dates with sexy and classy party women. In the event you haven't tried it yet, you should. Celebration relationship is quite popular is London as plenty of men who date the girls who are younger. Lots of the escorts are not very old too, and you can have a great time.
Not all agencies in this region have party girls accessible, and you might want to reserve beforehand if it's for a particular occasion. London escorts get party women that are exceptional, and you'll find a few that are dancers that are superb at the same time. Meaning that you just do not have to worry about reserving a escort. Everything comes in a single bundle and I actually enjoy that as it's not inconvenient,
Relationship in London isn't too high-priced neither. You'll discover that a lot of the women offer excellent rates. I mainly use London escorts agencies but several of my buddies use independent escorts. Using escorts may not be even more expensive but I try to find quality before I begin to be concerned about the price of a hot company. It's not difficult to organize dates within London, and also you could have a look at the web sites to search for the dream woman that is sexy. Consider, I guarantee you'll find a few sexy, truly hot in London.

In the 1830s a number of things happened on Deptford Creek. First, in 1836, the Greenwich Railway was built, with a bridge across the Creek. Between the Creek and Beneke's works was built the Greenwich Railway Gasworks which became in due course, the Deptford and Rotherhithe gas works. Beneke's works was rented by Frank Hills. Frank Hills has already haunted these pages and will, I am afraid, haunt them for rather longer. What Frank Hills did at the Deptford chemical works will be explained later - it involved rather more than the mere purchases of ammoniacal liquor.
This episode on Deptford Creek makes a number of points. First that there was something there which was important to a well connected industrial chemist with international contacts. Secondly, that whatever he was doing there, was something worth while for him to exploit and take back to Germany and, perhaps, elsewhere. He was able to work with a technology developed in the sixteenth century and turn it into something else - Frank Hills, as we will see, developed it further. These two technologies are divided geographically by the Greenwich Railway - the copperas beds on one site, and - something else - on the other.

DNR burn ban expanded to include Western Washington
Unusually dry summer weather has prompted the state Department of Natural Resources to begin its annual statewide burn ban three weeks earlier than usual.
The ban on fires applies to all state forests, state parks and forest lands under DNR protection. It will run until Sept. 30.
With the exception of approved campground fire pits, the ban prohibits all outdoor burning on DNR-protected lands. Charcoal briquettes may be used only in approved campground fire pits.
Fireworks and other incendiary devices are always banned on state land.
A previous burn ban had covered only DNR lands in Eastern Washington. The agency said it was expanding the ban into western Washington because drought and heat are rapidly increasing fire danger.
"You can just look outside at your lawn and see how dry it looks," said Janet Pearce, DNR's communications manager. "It's here."
The ban does not apply to federally owned lands including national forests, national parks, national wildlife refuges or other federally administered areas, which have their own rules about fires.
Virginia Painter, communications director for the State Parks Department, said there are park rangers on hand in all of the state's campgrounds, to make sure people are only having fires in the designated fire pits.
While there are no special plans to boost enforcement of the ban over the Fourth of July, Painter said staff will be on the lookout for violators.
"Everybody will be watching on the holiday," she said.
The DNR reports that there already have been 306 wildfire starts in 2015 throughout the state.
About 70 of those wildfires have been in western Washington, Pearce said. The closest wildfire to Olympia so far this season was near Pe Ell.
There have been a few small starts in the Capitol State Forest, and Pearce said the forest is so dry it wouldn't be surprising to have more.
Pearce said the goal is to spread awareness, since most fires are human caused.
"If we can get people to help us out we can have a much better year," she said.
This statewide burn ban is about three weeks ahead of schedule, but Pearce said current conditions are like those during a typical July or August.
With the current drought and rising temperatures, Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark agrees.
"Westside forests are drying out and the outlook is for continued warm, dry weather," he said in a press release. "These conditions make it clear it's time for a statewide burn ban."
Last year's fire season was the biggest on record in Washington. The Carlton Complex, the largest state fire ever, destroyed more than 250,000 acres.
Live-fire training exercises under DNR direction are being scheduled. Limited controlled burning is planned for Sunday and Monday (June 28 and 29) about three miles north of Oakville in the Capitol State Forest.

VIDEO: Highlights from games played Jan. 14
Bryant to Warriors: 'Make history' | Perkins, Davis lament state of Pelicans | Butler puts in epic performance in Philly
No. 1: Bryant encourages Warriors to go 'make history' — With their victory last night over the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors improved to 37-3. That start matches the mark the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls had through 40 games when they won an NBA-record 72 games. After the win, Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who played against the dominant players (Michael Jordan in the 1990s and Stephen Curry today) encouraged Golden State's stars to push for the 73-win mark, writes Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com:
Before Kobe Bryant left the Oracle Arena court for the final time Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers icon was greeted by a trio of Golden State Warriors who have been terrorizing the rest of the league lately.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green all surrounded Bryant and chatted him up following their team's 116-98 win over Bryant and the Lakers.
"You guys have got to go ahead and make history," Bryant told Curry.
"I got to chase you," Curry replied, a response that Bryant said he too would have used.
"Damn right," Bryant told Curry. "Absolutely. Come and get it."
Bryant also signed a pair of his game-worn sneakers for Green.
The message Bryant wrote: "Make history."
A passing of the torch? Perhaps.
"I think so," Bryant said. "It's their time. It's their time. It's their time to step up and play and see how many championships they can win, see how many gold medals they can win. I had my run. Now it's important for them to carry it forward."
But the Warriors heard Bryant's message loud and clear.
"He told us to chase history, so we're going to try to chase it now like he did in his career," Curry said. "He paved the way."

Will I pass my drug test?!
Question: Will I pass my drug test?
I took a urine annalist a pee test for drugs and alcohol Today, and I was wondering if I will fail. My friend was smoking weed when I was in the car with him. The windows were down anyways this was March 15th and today is April 11th. Also it says it test for alcohol and I had some beer a 9 days ago. Do you think I will pass????? I'm very skinny and drink a lot of soda!
As per the chat window conversation you and I are having right now,.....the beers will not spark enough interest because they are so few, so long ago, and not illegal.
The smoke will be so diluted, and in such negligible amounts it will not register.
You are doing a drug test for a department store,....not the CIA,...so the depth and level of results will be less stringent.
Hope our chat helped.
I don't think you have too much to worry about. You pushed it pretty close, though.

After the Timberwolves were defeated in the 2004 Western Conference Finals, there were a lot of heavy hearts in the Twin Cities. But despite enormous disappointment, I couldn't deny the most important part of our unforgettable season. This article is #6 of my Top 10 favorite Timberwolves articles.
While they didn't win a title, the '03-'04 Wolves were the league's best. [image2]
I never thought that I would be writing this article. The 2003-2004 section of the "The Den" was supposed to finish with an article about the Timberwolves' first championship. I guess things like an injury to Sam Cassell's hip, bad officiating, and an unfair date for Game One have a tendency to change things. However, in spite of the myriad of excuses the Wolves have to offer for their loss to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, none are needed. Over the course of those six games, the Minnesota Timberwolves became the consummate example of what a basketball team should be. Facing a nearly impossible task, the Wolves refused to stop believing in themselves and each other. Mired in a suffocating series of unfortunate circumstances, the Wolves would not fold. A team that was merely a shell of its full potential, took a team that was bred for the title to the fourth quarter of Game Six. Still, as fatigue set in and the makeshift screws holding the Timberwolves' season came loose, it took a habitual bench warmer having the night of his life to finally take the T-Wolves down. And though four future hall-of-famers stood on the court donning their Western Conference Championship gear, it was the team with the 7′1″ point guard, the archaic center, the forward with the broken back, two Bulls cast-offs, and the Yakima Sun King whom the world stood up and cheered for.
The theme for the Timberwolves' 2004 Playoffs was "Can You Feel It?". After watching this team for the past three rounds, the answer is a resounding, "Yes". I may not be "feel'n" a championship like I did when this all began, but I do feel a lot of love for this Timberwolves team. Sure, I'm a little disappointed right now. But in all honesty, I'm feeling more joy for the fact that I got to watch this team for 100 games this year. What an amazing group of guys! From MVP, Kevin Garnett, to our "scapegoat", Michael Olowokandi, I have so much respect for every man who put on a jersey this season. And that is worth so much more than a trophy.

Rihanna's love life is back in the frame after the sauce pot was accused of secretly 'hooking up' with Hollywood star
Ryan Phillippe.
'They initially hooked up when things were strained with [Rihanna's ex] Matt Kemp back in early December,' revealed Us magazine.
According to an insider, the S&M singer kept the rendezvous hush-hush after they first met up in December before a second meeting at Bing's Two Kings charity event last week in LA.
The Cruel Intentions actor was later spotted at Riri's mammoth 23rd birthday celebrations at her Beverly Hills home this week but the pair were 'discreet'.
Phillippe, 36, has just come out of a three-month relationship with Mamma Mia! actress Amanda Seyfried.
But one man Rihanna or Phillippe won't be keen to see is her ex Chris Brown, who has persuaded a judge to water down the restraining order imposed after he beat her up in February 2009.
Rihanna said she did not object to the 50-yard stay-away zone being lifted.

Sharon Stone, known for sexy, revealing fashion, is turning heads as much today as she was 20 years ago, if not more so. She is an American actress, film producer, and former fashion model. She gained international recognition for her role in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance in Casino. She also had so many medium to short hairstyles that look amazing on her. Sharon Stone hairstyles are elegant, sexy, and carefree style which can go from sleek and sophisticated to spiky also playful with just a few minutes of styling and a little bit of product.
The look seen most often on Sharon and the style that is synonymous with Sharon's edgy style is the light blonde choppy pixie short hairdo. The style works best with straight or wavy hair. The great thing about her choppy pixie is that its alternative flair can be easily tamed for a formal look by a simple slicking back maneuver. The choppy pixie looks great on her and can easily be modified with accessories. In 2009, she looks so gorgeous with short shaggy hair. To get the style like Sharon's shaggy hair; using your fingers, distribute a small dollop of mousse onto towel-dried hair. Blow dry one-inch sections with a vent brush. Lift sections slightly at the root and then smooth the length straight. Create a side-part and push your bangs to one side. Use a dab of tacky styling cream on your fingers to pinch the ends and create a piece-y texture. Tuck the sides back behind your ears and then mist all over with hairspray to seal the deal.

Three Examples of Social Awkwardness in Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David
Curb Your Enthusiasm
is definitely a
TV show
that is for a certain viewing palette. Not everybody is going to like it, but most of the people who do like the show like it a lot. One of the reasons people find the show so funny is because of some of the self-imposed awkward social situations that Larry David gets himself into on the show. Here are some of the mo

re memorable socially awkward moments in the series.
Trick or Treat
Going trick or treat is certainly a rite of passage for many young kids. But in one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry takes issue with some teenage girls who came to his home expecting candy. And he just has to say something about it to them. He is bothered by not only their age, but also because they didn't even bother to dress up in a costumer to go trick or treating. Instead of just giving them some candy, he tells them to go away (using some rather colorful language, of course). The next day, he finds the outside of his home draped with toilet paper and some "hate speech" spray painted on his door.
Ben Stiller
's Birthday Party
Do you enjoy singing "Happy Birthday" to someone on their birthday? Neither does Larry David. But the difference between you and him is that he simply won't go along with the crowd…even if it's Ben Stiller's birthday. While everyone is singing "Happy Birthday" to Ben, he looks over and sees that Larry is refusing to sing. Even when Larry sees Ben looking at him, he still refuses. To add insult to Ben's hurt feelings, one of the skewers that Larry was carrying around the party with him stabs Ben in the eye which requires him to wear an eye patch for several days.
The Ski Lift
This episode found Larry David and a strict Orthodox Jewish girl on a ski lift that gets stuck. The young lady is the daughter of one of Larry's friends and she is unmarried. According to Orthodox Jews, a single lady is not allowed to be with a man after the sun sets. So when the sun is going down and they are still stuck on the ski lift, she tells Larry that he has to jump down so she won't be shamed. He absolutely refuses to do it so she jumps instead, resulting in both of her legs being broken and Larry suffering from being socially ostracized in that particular circle of
Larry David makes social awkwardness hilarious with his strict adherence to unwritten social rules. That combined with his stubbornness is a perfect recipe for laughter if you can appreciate that kind of humor.

'Oh sorry, I forget my business cards!' or 'I'm going out but don't want to carry a big wallet with me!',... Do you recognize yourself in one of these situations? I definitely do.

Staying Afloat
Over the last 12 months, the number of underwater mortgages in the U.S. has fallen 35 percent, According to the Mortgage Monitor report released by Black Knight Financial Services this morning. It dropped 16 percent in just the first quarter of 2017.
In total, 1.8 million American homeowners currently owe more on their home loans than their property is worth. Though this is the first time the number has dropped below 2 million since 2006, it's still much higher than pre-crisis levels. At the end of 2005, just 750,000 borrowers owed more than their home was worth.

He doesn't like me to say

But I am not grieving, just noticing
Last Rose of Summer Haiku
He doesn't like me to say
He doesn't like me to say
When the last rose of summer gives way
But I am not grieving, just noticing
Today, the first snow of the winter came whispering down. In cold weather, smells don't carry as well. Winter brings with it a different kind of beauty made of solitude, clarity, and dreams in the dark. Here's a moment from warmer days to dream of:
After dark in the park
the feathery larch
smells me her secrets
in the breathless woods
I hear the treetops rustling
and I am at peace
cool breath of the trees
pulls me into shade beyond
the hot July sun
in the breathless woods
wind blows in the tops of trees
and rustles their leaves
bare feet in the grass
hot sun overhead, in May
with my sandals off
last swim of summer
cold like needles on the skin
but the waves buoy me
hosta's blooms are done
empty stalks curling upward
point toward autumn
St. John's wort drooping
from the weedy embankment
in the hot July sun
when the rain comes down
I come down with it, breathing
and watching it fall

In Nov 1990, 8 thousands residents in Anmyon Island violently protested against
the governments's announcement to establish a nuclear waste dump in the island.
The residents who, until then, had been promised and encouraged by the rural
government's plan to develop the small island into a national sea park and
international resort area, fired police box and refused their childrens to enter
the schools. The 10 days-long heavy struggle finally leaded to the

Preserve, Protect & Defend
Why is it Suddenly Unreasonable to Ask the President for Help?
**Edit**-This piece wouldn't be possible without a conversation with @bohemianrhapsdy that really challenged my thinking on the issue. Thanks to her for contributing and not letting me off the hook.
Michael Brown, Michael Brown, Michael Brown, Michael Brown, Michael Brown, Michael Brown. One invocation for each of the confirmed gunshots that ripped his body apart. An overabundance of utterances to make up for each time it wasn't said in police press conferences, Presidential statements, videos of convenience stores and self-aggrandizing media accounts. It is a child's name, the final reminder of a life's flame snuffed out by annihilation. Michael Brown. The name hasn't been said enough.
President Obama is a man who knows the importance of using names. His speech-writing has relied on a comfortable pattern of poignant personal anecdotes from persons affected by the issue at hand. Combined with a comfortable code-switch of Southern and ebonic vernacular, the significant placing of names is a trademark of Presidential speechcraft and often indicates priorities. The relative subordination of Michael Brown's name to portions of President Obama's recent speech addressing "rioters" was less an unfortunate circumstance of placement than a deliberate policy aim. The speech was not really about the tragedy of Michael Brown's death at all. It was mostly about maintaining order and not disrupting the status quo. And it was utterly unsatisfying.
When can we hope to have a real statement from the President on the rampant issues of the interactions of race with police brutality and institutional violence in the United States? The smart answer is probably never. There's two good years left in the political tank and the tread on the tires of Obama's political capital seems worn pretty bare. It's probably a good bet that the commander-in-chief won't dip any deeper into the litany of names the Michael Browns, Eric Garners, Sean Bells, Oscar Grants and other Black folks whose bodies litter morgues as the victims of the hunger of state-sponsored violence. Inasmuch as the President both reflects and shapes public opinion, the frank disinterest in the Black and Brown bodies gnashed in the maw of our own justice system is representative of a startling public disinterest. But sometimes I wonder—is my desire to hold the President to speak frankly and forcefully on these issues of local enforcement that affect very specific groups of constituents fair?
To many folks, the answer is a firm "no." As the common refrain goes "Obama is the President of America, not (just) Black America." Many Obama supporters also cite political expediency, lack of political capital or the fact that he can never appeal to everyone as reasons why Blacks should temper impassioned calls to the President for assistance with "Black issues," like police brutality, repeated violence at the hands of private armed citizens and the resegregation of inner-cities. I have often uttered the above phrases to myself as a protective mantra to ward off the evil spirits of doubt towards a man and legacy that have helped define a large chunk of my developing social conscience as a young adult in America. Those little crumbs he threw our way about Trayvon Martin and My Brother's Keeper were prayer beads around which I wound my disquietude as I tried to wait for the moment when something more inspiring would happen. But enlightenment has not come. I have no reason to believe that our samsara under the rule of unjust law will be ended or made significantly better under this President.
Why are the cries for justice and the ability to simply feel safe in Black skin often met with smug dismissal from liberals and staunch Obama supporters? Why shouldn't we judge the man who ran on the singular ideal of being a transformative candidate on his ability to transform the systems that obstruct us? Why can't we demand that the elected protector of the Constitution protect our Constitutional rights, especially those of the minority infringed upon by the majority across the country? In Ferguson, Missouri, those who mourn are not only enraged by the actions of a system at which the President is the head; they are also threatened with violence from the same hand that ended Michael Brown's life. Every round fired into an unarmed Black person and every canister of tear gas fired into crowds of children are body blows to the Constitution. It seems backwards not to expect folks to turn to the elected leader of the entire nation when local and state governments continue to throw the punches.
With authorities in Ferguson behaving in an often erratic and most times downright unjust manner over the past week, now is that time for the President to act decisively. No more ambivalent statements. No more skirting the police brutality and federal-sponsored police militarization that is at the heart of the issue. No more paralysis by way of political expediency. Fairly or not, a leader is measured by the results. When it comes to basic human rights in the country deemed by its defenders to be the greatest ever in the universe, excuses are nothing. A good proportion of this nation already lives in fear of even being seen by or talking to the people tasked with protecting them. When those problems seem to be getting worse and not better, that's a failure of the leadership.
At the minimum all the folks in Ferguson protesting on streets watered first with Michael Brown's blood want is a Plan. A ceasefire from police aggressors. A time to mourn and a listening ear to actually try and address their concerns. That's a good start for those elsewhere who have been impacted by this death and so many others. That's a good start for those nationwide who fear simply going to the store; not because they may be mugged but just because a policeman could be bored that night. It's a good start for all who even remotely care about Constitutional rights. That's what protesters in the Civil Rights Movement sought on Black-specific issues from JFK and LBJ, two Presidents who certainly weren't relied on to be superhero paragons of the Black race. Those services, the active listening and championing for causes of disenfranchised minorities, are parts of their legacies. If providing these services isn't the job of the sitting President, what is his job? Those who wish for more out of President Obama may be pegged as malcontents, but isn't a person seeking or voting for change by definition discontented with the present?

#KarmaActivist Chloe Elgar of Chloe's Countertop recently released the physical copy of her book, "Living in Light". Living in Light is a story fuelled by the belly, told from the heart. An emotional journey of a struggle with eating disorders and anxiety while learning to embrace the truth. With 50 holistic recipes, it reads like a novel, functions like a cookbook — an essential read for anyone learning to build a healthy relationship with food, nutritionists and holistic soul-searchers.
Tell us, what/who inspired you?!
I've always wanted to write a book. I've been a writer since I was a little girl. I would spend hours and hours writing in journals. I would write all of my thoughts out in a very open and authentic manner- especially for a child. Writing was my way of supporting myself, releasing pain and feeling safe. I even recently found journals from 1st grade- where I had written an incredible prompt about politics, world peace and poverty.
I have dreamt of finally writing and publishing a book, forever. It was just last year, in July, that I spent 2 weeks with a group under the teachings of Cheryl Strayed- to find my way to my book. To find my voice. I grew up with eating disorders and depression and for a long time, my voiced was silenced through anxieties. I was living behind a veil of fear: a fear of disappointment, unworthiness and no love. It was through writing and expression that I was able to release the limited stories and gradually discover the light within.
Over the past 5 years I have been exposed to witnessing people follow their dreams and go for it. Whenever a fellow wellness warrior would publish a book I would feel excitement for them and notice a deep calling for my own book. For my words, teachings and intentions to be packaged into a piece of art that could be shared globally. So that I could add my own wisdom into the creative river of the human existence and in turn, help another in their life story.
Specifically, people like Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert, Brene Brown, Gabrielle Bernstein, Kathryn Budig, Marie Carr, and more have really inspired me on my journey to creating this book.
Who would benefit most from reading this book?
Living in Light is an essential read for anyone who is learning to build a healthy relationship with food, nutritionists and holistic soul-searchers. I created this book with the clear intention that it is for everyone. Not just nutritionists and not just foodies. It's all about moving away from the concept of fighting your body and living in resistance, and moving towards a life of harmony and balance with your body and the world it lives in.
What do you hope to bring to the people who read your book?
My intention is for this book to serve as a best friend. A piece that you can pick up, turn to a page, read it, and feel loved. It is to offer you the light that has served me in my life and brought me to where I am, today. A lot of the work that I do is along the theme of psychology of eating and understanding our relationships with food and ourselves. Food is a tool. It is a way for us to communicate and understand ourselves and the world around us in a tangible way. It is also a key to unlock something deeper and more profound. We all have a relationship with food. This book is here to offer you a way to understand your relationship with food so that you can too discover a love and light within.
As a Holistic Nutritionist, I know that food is a gift of healing from the world. Unfortunately, we have strayed away from this offering and more often than not, food is used as a tool of distraction, harm and pain. In my work, I hope to bring insight to the belief systems we have created so that the stories can be released and your true gifts can be realised.
What are Chloe Elgar's plans for the next 12 months?
Since diving, head first, into my business full-time, my dreams and visions for the upcoming months has really evolved. When I first wrote this answer down, a dream was to host a retreat. Now, I am in the middle of filling a retreat that I will be hosting in Costa Rica in the end of February. My visions continue to grow and expand as time goes on, which is a big part of what happens when you have a personal brand- your brand grows with you.
I have a lot of hopes for this book. I hope that it makes it across the world and is read and held by thousands of people in many different spaces. Whether that means it remains self-published or it is picked up by a publisher- that still remains unknown.
I hope to have another book (book #2) written in a few years, which will be a heavier and more in-depth look into my story, my life and my work. A novel, if you will. I hope to continue to grow the Chloe's Countertop brand, connect with more people in larger spaces around the world and have the opportunity to work with and speak to a larger group (and promote my podcast, Conscious Conversations).
I connect deeply with fellow influencers who tour the world, speaking to groups about the universal message. For me, it's all about living in light by embracing shadow and choosing love over fear. So I hope to continue in this journey, travel the world and speak to many people and help them on their journey by sharing my story.
My retreat series, Living in Light, which has just launched (first retreat is happening in Costa Rica at the end of February) will be following a lot of themes and content of my book and leading others to find a life of purpose and learn to trust their inner guidance (www.chloescountertop.com/events/retreat/).
I feel like it's time to really expand my wings and Living in Light couldn't have come at a better time.

Motley is a recessive pattern trait as opposed to a color morph. The belly is usually patternless, the blotches on the back tend to elongate and blend together and the saddles do not curl over the sides as in normal patterning.
Creamsicles are corn snake/emoryi rat snake crosses expressing amelanism.
Add the motley patterning and you get a beautiful version of the creamsicle.
These crosses are considered hybrids. Anyone wishing to work only with "pure" corn snakes would want to stay away from the corn snake/emoryi crosses.

I listened to this for 2 tracks. Classic (which came out in '14) and New York City, with Cam'ron. What kind of album has Walk the Moon (Best for Last) and someone reppin' Dipset? The Knocks are technically EDM, but their sound is more pop 2016 disco. I'm not a fan of the unnecessary Classic remix with Fetty Wap, but I do like Comfortable with X-Ambassadors. All the songs are catchy at worst.
On the scale of Tony Yayo to Lloyd Banks, 55 gets a 6 out of 10 for Classic making me want to go to the beach and Cam's song making me wanna strut down Midtown
