Alexander Skarsgard Starring in 'The East' with Brit Marling?
Alexander Skarsgard is in negotiations to star in the thriller The East opposite Another Earth's Brit Marling, THR reports.
The film, which Brit co-wrote, centers around a female agent who infiltrates an eco-terrorist group.
"If a deal comes together, [Alexander] would play the leader of the group who seeks revenge against unethical corporations," according to the mag, which adds that filming is tentatively scheduled to shoot in October and November in Nashville.
Pictured inside: Alex wearing a red shirt on the set of his latest movie, What Maisie Knew, on Monday (August 22) in NYC.

text: What was once a fresh and exciting new experiment from THQ is now a blockbuster first-person shooter (FPS) from Deep Silver. Times may have changed the situation in which Metro: Last Light arrives, but one thing remains the same: this is a videogame that has made its way to retail shelves through perseverance and the commendable attempt to create a compelling videogame experience, as opposed to simply copying the existing model. Metro: Last Light is light years ahead of the average modern FPS, pulling far closer towards BioShock than the continuous stream of military pseudo-simulations.

1-port RS-232/422/485 serial device server with 2 KV isolation, 10/100MBaseT(X), 1KV serial surge
- Features
Features and Benefits
- Enhanced surge protection for LAN/serial/power
- 2 kV isolation for serial signals
- Screw-type terminal blocks for secure power/serial connections
- C1D2, ATEX, and IECEx certified for harsh industrial environments
- Cascading Ethernet ports for easy wiring
- Redundant DC power inputs
- Warning by relay output and email
- -40 to 75°C operating temperature range (T models)
The NPort IA5000A series device servers are designed for connecting industrial automation serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode readers, and operator displays. The device servers are built solid with a metal housing, screw connectors, and provide full surge protection. The NPort IA5000A series device servers are extremely user-friendly, making simple and reliable serial-to-Ethernet solutions possible.
Cascading Ethernet Ports Make Wiring Easy (10/100BaseTX models only)
The NPort IA5000A series device servers each have two Ethernet ports that can be used as Ethernet switch ports. One port connects directly to the network or server, and the other port can be connected to another NPort IA device server or another Ethernet device. The dual Ethernet ports help reduce wiring costs by eliminating the need to connect each device to a separate Ethernet switch.
Redundant Power Inputs
The NPort IA5000A series device servers have two power inputs that can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. If one power source fails, the other source takes over automatically. Redundant power inputs help ensure uninterrupted operation of your device server.
Relay Output Warning and E-mail Alerts
The built-in relay output can be used to alert administrators when the network is down, when power failure occurs or when there is a change in the DCD or DSR serial signals. An e-mail warning can also be issued when an abnormality is detected. These functions are valuable tools that enable maintenance engineers to react promptly to emergency situations.
Surge Protection for Serial, LAN, and Power
Moxa's leading-edge surge immunity solution, which is applied to the NPort® IA5000A's serial, power, and Ethernet lines, is tested and proven compliant with IEC 61000-4-5. This advanced surge protection provides a robust serial-to-Ethernet solution that can protect electrical devices from voltage spikes and resist electrical interference, such as in oil, gas, and power automation applications.
Industrial-grade Certification
To ensure safe and reliable operation in industrial environments, the NPort® IA5000A device servers have obtained various industrial certifications, including an IP30 rating for mechanical protection and UL508 safety certification for industrial control equipment. In addition, these device servers are UL/cUL listed (for Class1, Division 2, Groups A,B,C,D), ATEX Class1 Zone 2, and IECEx compliant for use in hazardous locations.

Citizens of the world, we are Anonymous
Since we invited you to show our fellow citizens that our privacy matters, you made several times #OpBigBrother's voice surround in many countries and paperstormed efficiently to inform people about the threats of surveillance systems on our fundamental Rights.
We know all of you participating, found the good way to make information flow. Thanks to all for your hard work in the preparation of those days of action. You proved that most of the people didn't know anything about the future surveillance society that is being drawn with projects like INDECT or Trapwire because media stay silent on those matters.
Most of the time, we know that information on all those projects are hidden, or, when they are publicly available, all is done to make the people unable to understand without deep investigation on documents related. All that shows only a will to prevent people from understanding the true consequences of such things on their lives.
We, as Anonymous hacktivists, engaged #OpBigBrother because we want every citizen on the planet to know that the surveillance state is unecessary to our security as citizens.
We would also like to make the people understand, that systematisation of technological surveillance and control on everything is dangerous for the safety of Human Rights.
We continue to believe that technology has to serve humanity and we do hope many of you worldwide will agree.
Privacy that #OpBigBrother defends, mainstream media, the developement of technology and entertainment made we forgot it since the last decay, maybe earlier.
That Right, if it falls, makes all other Rights of a structure called Freedom to crumble.
We invite every organization working for privacy and every citizen to continue to inform people on the threats that hang over privacy.
Governments pretend to design those systems for security reasons, but every people able to access and understand information on those matters will stand up against a society of global control on the citizens that is being drawn.
They plan to use technology to know everything about citizens including : who is who, who do what and with whom, as well in real life and the Internet.
Some government and private companies prepared to control people with the a new Internet regulation treaty. USA and Europe rejected the text but will it be the same on the next meeting ? Be ready to defend your privacy again in 2013 with #opWCIT. Be careful on how governments and private companies will try to share them the control of the Internet.
It's time to act, it's time to show the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us.
We call on you to prepare for the next Day of Action against surveillance planned.
Act now and spread the word in your mother tongue, enter your Countries and Cities, in the pad linked on the description of this video once you can organize things : https://pad.riseup.net/p/OpBigBrotherORGA
It's our Freedom and our privacy.
Resist and build together, because we are the sons of the Resistance
Let us unite the whole humanity as one.
Let it be the largest protests of the world history.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us

Keppinger's RBI single in 11th gives White Sox 4-3 victory over Marlins
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CHICAGO – Jeff Keppinger drove in the winning run on a single in the 11th and John Danks was solid in his season debut and the Chicago White Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Friday night.
Paul Konerko started the rally with a one-out single. Pinch runner Tyler Greene moved to third when Dayan Viciedo singled off the glove of second baseman Derek Dietrich.
After Ryan Webb (1-2) intentionally walked Conor Gillaspie, Keppinger singled to left field.
Nate Jones (1-4) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win.
Danks allowed three runs and four hits in six innings in his first start since undergoing shoulder surgery in August to repair a capsule tear and remove debris in his rotator cuff and biceps. He struck out five, walked none and hit a batter in the opener of the interleague series.

John, I'm Only Dancing...
("Debbie" missed the boat a little bit by not showing mugs of the fuel of life on her desk above...)
Yeah. So, I've been a poor excuse of a blogger or bloggy friend for a while now. Last couple of months I was sequestered in revisions and now I'm all freaky with a new WiP doing Nano.
(I miss you.)
So, Nano. Usually I'm a very fast first-drafter (and a painfully SLOW reviser), but this WiP is based on something I know NOTHING about. Something that must be accurate and well researched prior to writing about it. I had not done any research prior to Nov. 1st., thus, friends, I'm having to research as I write.
I do not like it. Not one bit. I do not like it, it sucks sh!t.
(that's me waxing poetic just for you, friends.)
Hence, my word count is (s)low.
BUT, miracle of miracles... (cue beam of light coming down from heavenly clouds, rainbows and angels singing)
(actually my heaven/angels look more like this...)
|(can you hear the angels singing?)
|Now you can really cue the angels!
(okay, really heaven is wherever my husband is...holding chocolate cake)
Where was I? Oh yeah, right, the miracle.
I have a title for this WiP!
I had a title by the end of the first sentence of Ch. 1. It's a Festivus Miracle I tell you.
Anyway, I apologize for not stopping by to say hello. I feel like the worst friend.
So tell me, please...
How is YOUR writing going?
Any big (or little) news?
Are you sad/shocked that Nathan has left agenting? (I am.)
What's happening in your world?

Did I tell you I love pictures? Because I love pictures *drools*
I have NaNo fever too... it's been a crazy writing whirlwind but for my first time I had a blast.
Writing went great, finished my NaNo novel (I type fast too)
Revising the first story I wrote now.
No big news, just yet.
Very sad Nathan is leaving.

This post made me a little uncomfortable. Just kidding. Don't worry about time away from blogging. If you can do NaNo at all you've got my respect!
- November 9, 2010 at 12:37 PM
- Tracy said...
Great, do you have any idea how much time I missed "working" because I couldn't stop looking at the pretty first picture. Let us not discuss the delay the subsequent pictures caused.
Don't worry, we're all being pretty crapalicious with the blogs and commenting this month. My WIP is going along surprisingly well so far. This pantser did something a little different and actually worked out a general (very general) outline this time. It seems to be working like a charm...because even in those trixy areas in between plot points I know where I'm trying to get to next. Gosh, it goes so much smoother this way. Who knew?

oh man, i am a BIG fan of that guy with the tats. MMMMMMM.
I'm sad that i'll never get a chance to query Nathan. BUT, there are plenty of agents in the sea, and the right agent is the one that wants to sign you

On track with NaNo, though might fall behind since I'm participating in a blogfest today. It's all good!

You go girl! Get that NaNo done. =)

Good luck with the rest of NaNo! I knew I wouldn't have time this year but there is always next.

No big news from me although it's nice to see you back blogging. That pic of chocolate cake looks gorgeous!

All's good over here! :)

mmmmmmmm those pictures.... *drools*
I... um... I have something to say but first I need to study the pics some more
Oh, that's right! Go you with your writing!!
I don't have much news, except I'm cheating even more on NaNo now because I'm working on two WIPs, but the new one seriously flooded into me and I couldn't not start on it... It's contemp of all things! And I'm loving the change of pace from fantasy :)
- November 9, 2010 at 1:49 PM

Congrats on finding a title so soon! I'm horrible with those. Horrible.
Good luck with the writing! I'm not doing NaNo, but admire all you crazies . . . I mean people who are. ;)

Aw, I know exactly what you mean--I haven't been blog hopping much myself. But...Hi! Glad to see all is well in your world. Good luck with NaNo!
And now I'm going to waste an inordinate amount of time scrolling back up to ogle your pictures. ;)

Working on Nano, nearly back on track after basically not writing for two days because of being sick.
Hooked up with a new awesome beta reader!
Definitely saddened that Nathan left the agenting world but I wish him the best of luck!

The photo of the chocolate cake just transported me to the happy realm. Aren't you great to be doing Nano and researching as you go! More power to you. I admire all who have committed to the Nano process.

I'm drooling and my brain my have short circuited a little bit.
I finished nano but am not quite finished my novel so I'm going to keep at it.
Keep writing Lola!

It's hard to blog hop when NaNo's going on! The last image can be so true . . . :P It's great to see you posting, though!
Yes, I was sad when I found out Nathan Bransford had left agenting, too. :(
My writing's doing surprisingly well, thanks for asking!

My MG is climbing slowly but it hasn't got as far to go so I'll switch to my other wip once I hit the 30,000 mark, or the end, whichever comes first ;)
- November 9, 2010 at 3:50 PM
- JEM said...
Lola! Wow, I didn't actually know about Nathan, thanks for the heads up on that. I think no matter how great you THINK a job is, there's always a point at which you should move on. At least, that's what I've always found :). I've been waiting to move on for about a year now, but I need to get a book finished first! I'm also working on a WIP that requires a vast amount of research, which I find exhausting. Damn period pieces...
- November 9, 2010 at 3:54 PM

I hope when my time comes, my heaven will be just like yours.
YAY!! You have a title!!! Well done you!! GOOD LUCK WITH your nano!!! Take care
- November 9, 2010 at 4:05 PM
- Summer said...
Don't ostracize me for saying this, but I don't find Ian very attractive. Mostly because I hated his character on Lost, and his eyebrows need some taming.
But I like that tattoo dude. And book Eric. TV Eric, not so much.
I'm proud of your researching, and I can't wait to read the results! :)
- November 9, 2010 at 4:07 PM
- Melissa Gill said...
Oh my. I always dive right on your blog to look at all the lovelies. Debbie's cartoons always crack me up. And I mentally put that choclate cake into tat guys hand and... well, never mind.
I'm glad you found a title for your book. And I hate you a little bit becasue I can't think of a single thing for my WIP.
But on the plus side, it's coming pretty well.
- November 9, 2010 at 4:31 PM
- Lisa said...
Congratulations on the title! Having struggled (okay, I'm still struggling) to come up with a title for my first NaNo that's still under revision, I was pleased to have a title for my 2nd one already.
After a couple of days off, I'm back to writing and my word count is where I want it to be.
I miss you, too!
- November 9, 2010 at 5:25 PM
- Jemi Fraser said...
I like the pics!!
Getting a title is so exciting!! I've got one (sort of). It works with the story (pretty well), but it's also misleading (pretty much) and makes you think of a different genre (probably). So, I envy you your title! :)
- November 9, 2010 at 6:11 PM
- Elliot Grace said...
Geez Lola, where'd you find that pic of me in the tub!?
You perv:)

Hi Lola, I'm at fever pitch with NaNoWriMo too and loving it. Unlike my last attempt, I created a nicely detailed outline over the summer, did lots of my research in advance and so I'm moving along at a pretty good clip, especially compared to my last attempt in 07 which ended with word count 0. I love your blog and can't believe I haven't followed it before this. I'm such a pig! I let you follow me months ago and never reciprocated. Your blog is definitely cooler than mine cause you post hunky pictures of chocolate and men! Love it! Lee

I love that coffee postcard; I actually have a copy of it hanging up on my wall. I decided not to do NanoWrimo this year, but I'm jealous of everyone who gets to do it. Maybe next year, though...

Hmm...I may have found the face (and bod) of my MC's love interest. Ian = yummy.

I'm impressed with any progress at all if you're having to research as you go! I tend to write first, research after, or else the research carries me off on tangents... then again, the genres I write in don't require the research for the STORY so much as the details.
Keep plugging away! I am cruising along well, but keep expecting to hit my wall (I can scale walls, but it does slow me down a lot)
Yes... nice choice of muses...

Quarterback, offensive line and cornerback are the top three position battles as fall camp starts Monday for the Terriers.
The journey has begun.
Wofford football players reported to campus Sunday and had their first team meeting on the eve of the 7 a.m. running tests and 6:15 p.m. practice to kick off the season.
The Terriers will go straight to Gibbs Stadium, at least until the middle of next week, with the practice fields being used by NFL's Carolina Panthers for their training camp. By Friday, Wofford players will be in full pads and by Saturday, they'll have their first scrimmage.
Wofford, which went 9-4 last season, 6-2 in the Southern Conference for a share of its second league title in three years, was picked in a preseason poll of media members as the favorite for another championship.
The Terriers will enter their first season since 2007 without running back Eric Breitenstein, who graduated as the school's career rushing leader with 5,730 yards. And while it remains to be seen how Wofford will handle that loss, it's clear that senior Donovan Johnson, with more than 1,700 career rushing yards, will take over at that spot.
But at other positions, it's not quite so clear. There is much to be settled before the Aug. 31 opener at Baylor. Here are three battles to watch in the coming weeks.
This is a fairly important position to settle, huh?
James Lawson will open preseason as the No. 1 guy. The junior from Pickens High made only two starts last season, but one was in a win that clinched a share of the Southern Conference championship and the other was the FCS playoff game against Northern Iowa. He saved the season numerous times in other games as well with solid performances and calm leadership.
Lawson, a former walk-on, was third on the depth chart before his late-season heroics. After starter Brian Kass got hurt, sophomore Michael Weimer was next in line. He was the Southern Conference player of the week earlier in the season with 141 rushing yards on six carries in a relief role. Weimer, however, injured a knee and eventually needed offseason surgery. He is healed and ready to challenge.
There are also a couple of wild cards in second-year freshmen Evan Jacks and Taylor Bragg. It would be quite a leap if either is able to jump into consideration, but both played well in the spring when Weimer was held out.
Wofford lost a pair of all-conference linemen in Jake Miles and Calvin Cantrell, as well as T.J. White, who topped both of them in knockdown blocks, including 21 against South Carolina. Josef Grommer (Spartanburg High), the only backup to make any starts, also graduated. Those are big losses among the big guys up front.
Tony Goodwin (6-5, 300, junior) seems the front-runner at left tackle. The other two spots seem up for grabs. Jared Wilken (6-2, 305, junior) and T.J. Chamberlain (6-2, 293, soph.) will battle it out for right guard. At right tackle, second-year freshman Bradley Way (6-2, 280) will have to hold off true freshman Anton Wahrby (6-4, 245). A native of Sweden, Wahrby graduated early from Lexington High School and was impressive as he participated in spring practice at Wofford.
Wofford will also have new starters on the corners of the defensive backfield. The Terriers lost standouts Blake Wylie and Stephon Shelton. Wylie was a shutdown defender who led the team with three interceptions, including one for a touchdown in playoffs. Shelton was the fourth-leading tackler.
Stepping into those spots will be largely untested talent. Junior Bernard Williams and sophomore Brion Anderson came out of spring practices as No. 1 on the depth chart. Anderson had 10 tackles last season and Williams had three, all in the game against Lincoln University.
Behind them, also in position to make strong statements for starting jobs, are second-year freshmen Josh Grimes and Chris Armfeld. Neither has stepped foot on the field for a college game.

A new Ritz-Carlton and a slew of shops and restaurants are bringing a dose of fresh glamour to this renowned playground.
Surrounded by 18 ski resorts—the densest concentration of slopes anywhere in America—Lake Tahoe is a winter-sports paradise. But despite its abundance of on-mountain thrills, the region has been lacking, somewhat, in off-slope amenities—unless you count the casinos and an all-night bar scene (not to mention attendant bachelor parties) on the lake's south side. No longer. These days, it's the northern towns—including Northstar-at-Tahoe and Squaw Valley ski resorts, lakefront Tahoe City, and, farther inland, the vibrant, historic town of Truckee—that have the real energy. Here, a look at the new North Lake Tahoe.
After much anticipation, the $300 million Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe (doubles from $299) opens this month at the family-friendly Northstar-at-Tahoe resort. The 170-room stone-and-wood lodge has a cavernous 17,000-square-foot spa with earthy treatments, like a crushed pinecone exfoliating scrub and a cedar-oil massage; a buzz-worthy restaurant, Manzanita, where star San Francisco chef Traci Des Jardins's comfort food comes with a French twist (duck meatballs; wine-braised short ribs); and a pampering "mountain valet" who will manage your gear and escort you to the snow. For a more intimate, in-town experience, there's the three-year-old Cedar House Sport Hotel (doubles from $170), in Truckee, where the 42 rooms are built mostly out of recycled and sustainably harvested wood in an appealing minimalist style, with leather-upholstered platform beds and birch plywood furniture.
Eat and Drink
Twelve miles north of the lake, Truckee resembles a cross between Aspen and a 19th-century railroad town. Built during the boom years of the transcontinental railroad, its two-story wood-and-brick buildings now shelter a surprising number of fantastic restaurants. Before catching the morning lifts, head to Jax at the Tracks (breakfast for two $25), housed in a restored 1940's dining car; try the aptly named Morning Addiction—layers of hash browns, avocado, bacon, and eggs, with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Up the road, the loungelike Drunken Monkey (lunch for two $35) has creative sushi (halibut tempura with chili aioli), Asian tapas (Vietnamese shaking beef; curry mochiko chicken), and 14 types of sake by the glass. In Squaw Valley, home to the 1960 Olympic Winter Games, you'll find one of North Tahoe's best restaurants, PlumpJack Café (dinner for two with wine pairing, $120). The café's new chef, Rick Edge, recently created a series of winemaker dinners, pairing bottles from single northern California wineries with dishes like venison loin and celery root, cocoa, and hibiscus, or seared scallops with roasted chestnuts. If you're staying in Northstar-at-Tahoe, head to the sultry Baxter's Bistro & Lounge (drinks for two $18) for artisanal cocktails (try the Alpine Blood Orange Cosmo), house-made charcuterie, and remarkably good live jazz.
Chic boutiques have also been cropping up in Truckee in recent years. Try Dylan's Delights, for stylish children's clothing and toys, and The Pharmacy, an apothecary-like space with tin ceilings and gleaming antique cabinets piled with lacy lingerie, Italian linen sheets, and beauty products from around the world. High Camp Home has luxe cowboy-inspired furniture—just in case you're in the market for a cowhide-upholstered couch. In the lakeside Tahoe City, Kalifornia Jean Bar stocks dozens of cult denim brands. Head there during Friday happy hour for discount prices and wine tastings—guaranteed to make any jeans fit better. For the latest high-tech skis and outdoor gear, stop in at True North. The store also has a sleek in-house wine and coffee bar where the wine selection changes monthly.
This season, Squaw Valley celebrates its 60th anniversary with two revamped on-mountain restaurants and new ski and snowboard classes. But the biggest news is at Northstar-at-Tahoe, known for its diverse, beginner-friendly terrain. In the past year, it has unveiled a handful of expanded trails and lifts and North America's only Burton Snowboard Academy. And the base village—a brand-new $55 million development—has a 9,000-square-foot ice rink and connects to the Ritz-Carlton by an intermountain gondola. The sophisticated après-ski crowd gathers around the fire pit at the Chocolate Bar (drinks for two $20), conveniently located at the base of the high-speed gondola, for spicy hot chocolates, espresso martinis, and a postcard view of the slopes.

A Matanza of Sorts
Most people might hear the word matanza and not know that it can be a cause for celebration. Granted, its literal translation means "killing," so to go to the 14th Annual HCVC Matanza might not sound like the most fun outing. But don't let the name throw you. They don't mean to kill you; they mean to roast some pigs and make some delicious comida. This event is considered to be the largest matanza in the world and is Valencia County's biggest one-day event of the year. So don't miss it. The matanza (happening tomorrow from 6:30am 'til about 3pm) will have all-you-can-eat, matanza-styled food; there will be some fun competitions, including a red/green chile cook-off and a contest for best biscochitos (which we call pan de polvo where I'm from). And aside from the cooking/good food, there's great music. The lineup for this tasty event includes the Kevin Michael Band, Remedy and New Mexico legend Al Hurricane, along with Al Hurricane Jr. The festivities take place at Eagle Park (305 Eagle Ln.), just north of Belen High School; tickets will run you $10, but children 12 and under get in for a mere buck. So bring the kids for some great food, good tunes and a whole lot more. Eagle Park, Belen • Sat Jan 25 • 6:30am-3pm • $10, $1 for children 12 and under • ALL-AGES! • View on Alibi calendar

Retro is certainly working on one large-scale project. We've reported on new hires in the past, but now we have information that points to new employees from Vigil, Junction Point and Bioware Austin joining the team. Will we finally get to see what Retro is working on come E3?
that would be nice.. looks like nintendo & sony have some powerful dev teams on their side.. Whats MS gonna do?
This has always been the case. Sony and Nintendo speak to gamers with developers and Microsoft speaks by throwing money at developers for timed exclusives.
Microsoft and Nintendo have discovered that they don't have to release tons of titles every year to make money. So, they're never going to. Sony knew this years ago...
...and yet, they continue to release tons of games every single year.
Sony has more developers than the other two and developers need to release games to make money..so they don't really have a choice. It's business.
Nintendo actually releases a good amount of games, and they did give the Wii very good first party suport.
The Wii felt lacking in games because it had absolutely shitty third party support due to the lack in power between it and the other 2 consoles. But Nintendo themselves actually put out a lot of superb games for it.
So, you're wrong. Both Sony and Nintendo are excellent with supporting their hardware with their own software. It's Microsoft who lacks in this area, so they make strong deals with third party publishers to compensate.
If Nintendo hadn't released so many first party games for the Wii, it would have been headed for the trash bin within the first couple of years. There were hardly any good third party games on the Wii at all.
Not at all - I spend more time gaming on PS3 than elsewhere because of its quality and unique exclusives. On topic, though, Retro is top notch, my fave Ninty dev - I look forward to whatever they're cooking up :).
Sony have 12 first party studios
Microsoft have 21
yup and hardly any of those games sell well which is why Sony is constantly closing down their studios and causing talented people to loose their jobs.
once again you show that you have no idea what you are talking about
sony only closed 2 studios this whole gen
which didn't make any games that worth while and didn't make any money
and the 3rd studio marged with another sony 1st party studio
but they just bought SP studio(infamous)
and MM studio(LBP)
and soon they will buy QD studio(Heavy rain/Beyond:two souls)..evem the studio want sony to buy them
so where is the
"Sony is constantly closing down their studios "
is coming from ?!
sony focus on buying studios that make quality games
not bleeding money on studios that can't even make AA games
know you sh1t before you type
21 studios.
1 of which makes mobile games.
1 of which assists with third party development.
4 of which work on Kinect titles.
10 of which have never made a game and are working on "Unannounced projects" and have been since the last time I looked at Microsoft's Studios.
So, basically, 9 studios who have ever made a game and are likely to work on a Microsoft console, 4 of which make Kinect titles only, 2 of which make downloadable titles only.
I don't disagree with your points, but who knows what those ten studios will do? I think MS will continue to use the aforementioned 4 studios as casual/kinect studios (much like Sony does with SCE London) but of those ten unannounced projects, most of then appear to be projects that people will call 'hardcore games' judging by the job ads.
All I'm saying is, lets just wait until e3 to see what MS have in store with these studios before judging or even worse, failing to even acknowledge their existence which most people on N4G do. If all they do at e3 is announce these studios are working on apps/kinect/shovelware, I will be the FIRST to condemn them.
Lol I love how this is an article about Retro (who mainly develops for Nintendo) picking up some people from other studios, yet it turns into a war between sony and xbox fanboys. My god are you people pathetic or what.
I feel bad for all the M$ fanboys that are going to skip Playstation's next console because of their idiocy.
I feel sorry for all the $ony fanboys that skip out on the Nextbox. Jesus man, Im buying both this time. hopefully it's a good choice, I don't really care for most of Sony's exclusives. They tend not to be as good as the few exclusives we have. I'll take fewer exclusives that are better than more that are just meh. Killzone is the only exclusive that Sony has that is AMAZING.
It's not idiocy, it preferences only an idiotic person would think someone buying something different than what they are buying is idiocy. Stop being a cheerleader & let people buy what they want ,not what you think they should buy.
And will you be buying Microsoft's next console? Or the U? If not then you look pretty foolish and should stfu..if you are then disregard this statement!
Yes I own the WiiU, and no Im not buying the Nextbox. Why? To pay for online access when I get it free everywhere else?
There's people that will literally NOT buy the next Playstation because of their devotion to this silly console war.
I choose not to buy the Microsoft console because of their nickle and diming, and disrespect for consumers by charging for online access, and being HILARIOUSLY less in value than PS+ which is an OPTIONAL service that doesnt force you to buy online gaming access.
So YES, I wont be buying the Nextbox, and I can play Halo and Gears at a friend's house because someone will inevitably own an Xboxnext, but it wont be me.
Opinions are opinions yes, but when someone chooses not to purchase something only because they dont like the brand name and not because they dont like what it OFFERS, then YEAH,
I feel bad for all the M$ fanboys that are going to skip Playstation's next console because of their IDIOCY.
All I know is your a Hater dude, you remind me of that other douche bag Akuma. Always hating, him on Wii U and you on Xbox.
I agreed with you but same could be said for PS fanboys who think MS system won't be great either! I'm not planning on missing out on any. Ill have PS4,Xbox720 and as soon as some better exclusives come out from Nintendo the Wii U. From all speculation the PS4 will be a force to be reckoned with.
Watch when XBL goes through revolutionary changes for this next gen. I think Microsoft was smart to get as much cash flowing to them as they did this gen off subscriptions. PS+ is good, but if Microsoft knows what's good for them, their new services are going to be nuts. I agree with you as well. Pretty stupid to write something off before it's even been announced or out yet..
Whoa! That's some pretty intricate talent right there. Joining Retro Studios of all companies! Certainly makes me excited.
Why do you say ''retro studios of all companies'' as if to play Down Retro ? Retro already has robbed some of the best talent in america years ago. It's already a collection of super talented developers.
That's the criteria you have to have to get in , and they are a highly regarded developer.
Vigil is hardly what the industry would call talented. It was average at best while it existed.
He said "Retro Studios of all companies!" in the sense that yes, Retro Studios is already AWESOME, and it's only going to be more awesome with these new talented devs.
There's a reason why you only have one bubble. You most of the time have good points regarding Nintendo and Wii U, but they are sadly clouded by your own overdefensiveness and sometimes, needless hating towards other companies. Stop it already! D:<
Chill King...PopRocks is almost always praising and defending Nintendo- perhaps you took his statement wrong?
They're the guys that did Metroid Prime and that's all I need to get excited about their upcoming games.
All this extra talent on board is getting my hype up an extra few levels though.
This E3 is going to be amazing.
OH MY .... I just got a good feeling in my tummy.
the dream team in the hands of retro... oohhh
ooo speechless
backed by the wiiu and 3ds Im expecting some Bangers.
-I thought it was what something I ate.
Over the past couple of years they have been hiring from some big name companies.
I think whatever they are working on (I think multiple titles) it is going to be stunning -
I think they are going to make something that is photo-realistic w/ all of the "Core" bells and whistle.
I just hope that if it is a SAMUS (Metroid) game that they don't do last gen's mostly Grays and Browns color scheme.
WTF are they working on
must be massive 0_0
Plus the Naughty Dog and other DarkSiders developers they hired earlier? Can someone work as a janitor over there and give us a sneak peak at what the game is?
The way they are hiring I would change game to games!
Naughty Dog hired some Vigil devs? Is there a link to an article? I gotta read that.
I think you read that wrong. He meant Retro Studios hiring a Naughty Dog dev
Im starting to believe Retro Studios is splitting teams up and working on multiple games at the same time...Could u imagine a Retro Studios game once a year?!?! Ahhhhhhh!
I was thinking the same thing...team one does the next Metroid (Prime) game, the other does the next Starfox !!!
You're probably right. At the rate they've been expanding in staff and floorspace recently - either the next game they're developing is huuuuuge or they're currently working on several projects.
They also hired the man who developed the CE2 GameEngine ect so enormous talent it's no wonder their game engine wowed Epic.
I'm already imagining a picture of all employees of Retro standing in a single office. It must be the biggest developer ever!
They're working on something big in there, can't wait for E3. Assuming it should be ready by then seeing how it was taken out last year's.
oh man this mysterious game is starting to look promising. im getting excited
This is going to rape like a DONKEY!!!
If it's a Retro-developed Donkey I guarantee you the sex will be entirely consensual :)
I'm actually hoping it's not a major Nintendo IP (though a mature, N64/SNES style StarFox would be an amazing undertaking for them), just to see how they do without a major IP their back. Nonetheless it should be amazing (given their track record with Metroid, Donkey Kong)
Retro, Monolith, and Platinum are looking to be WiiU's Triforce if you will. I'm sure they will deliver
Word on the street is a new Star Tropics game is in the works by a Nintendo team (SNES)
Team Galaxy is already working on the next 3D Mario game... Namco and HAL are working on Smash Bros 4... EAD is working on Mario Kart Wii U and Zelda HD... Intelligent is working on SMT X Fire Emblem... Monolith is working on Xeno... Good Feel Games is working on Yoshi's Yarn. Now we're down to Metroid, Star Fox, and New IP.
Mayamoto is working on an FPS game that's the rumour.
Wii U will be a beast to be reckoned with. I can't wait for all the naysayers to eat their words, because there are gonna be some MASSIVE and GORGEOUS games to come from Nintendo in the very near future. It is indeed a great time to be a Nintendo fan, and a terrible time to be a Nintendo hater lol.
fingers crossed for star fox X metroid
StarFox X PilotWings is where it's at
I was thinking more Starfox X Pikmin X Pokemon...Gotta catch em all, in space...on a microscopic scale.
A StarFox/Sin&Punishment might be a more logical mash-up actually!
They've been hiring so many people lately. It really makes me think that Retro is working on two games, maybe a new IP and a revival (like Star Fox). Or maybe this game is massive and they need more devs. Either way, we should find out at E3. And I swear to Bionis Nintendo if we don't see Retro's game(s) at E3 I will strike down with the power of a thousand suns. 'Sigh' I just want to know what they're working on...
lets hope they don't pull out at last minute like last E3
My guess is not only will they show it, but I think it might get a release date at e3 as well.(or shortly afterwards)
I think in 2012 Nintendo were looking in to developing games in the US due to cheaper cost.
Texas, home of Retro, is very cheap at the moment (one reason why Crytek is expanding).
If they just hired them wouldnt we ha e to wait until next years e3?
Whatever Retro Studios is working on gonna be epic
Wow! they must be tackling one heck of a project if they are enlisting all these guys, I can't wait to see what Retro are working on :)
Maybe they'll show it @ the next Nintendo Direct? With Bayonetta 2, Pokemon XY, Zelda Wind Waker remake, and X, you never know.
Can you imagine how amazing Nintendo's E3 showing will be this year? Just thinking about it right now is mind-blowing. While Sony and Microsoft revealing new consoles is great and all, I feel like there's nothing more exciting than GAMES. With the next Smash Bros *which will totally BLOW MINDS*, Retro's secret project, Super Mario U, Mario Kart U, maybe something on Zelda U , a more in depth look of the new Xeno title and whatever other secrets Nintendo has in store for us, I really can't see things getting any better. Nintendo has really been strengthening relationships with 3rd party publishers too, so I feel like there has to be at least one amazing 3rd party announcement that people will love. This is going to be the longest wait ever...
Nintendo should hire Level 5 to work on a grand-scale Pokemon Wii U game.
Imagine if Nintendo announce the Pokemon X/Y PokeDex at E3!
People have to understand that yes new hardware gets the industry excited. But people have been waiting many years to see what Nintendo's franchises would look like with a grande HD treatment...

YouTube Channel Subscriptions
I'm just going to throw this out there because I am not sure how many people are even aware of this yet. But, here it is.
I've signed up for a load of YouTube channels online. They work just fine on my computer. However, my TV has a YouTube app and when I go to the YouTube app and sign in with my YouTube login/username- I gain access to my YouTube channels. Yay!
Here's the kicker though: 1. Not all of my channels are showing up. And 2. There's shit there that I never subscribed to! There's a couple of these stupid soft porn (no porn at all really) channels that show up on my YouTube app on my TV. Yet, when I go online to my YouTube account and manage my subscriptions there, there's no such channel.
Why the **** is my TV not showing all of my subscribed channels?
I posted this in their forum, but I'm getting nowhere. I've tried logging in/out on both the computer and the TV.
I'd like to get this rectified because if I can subscribe to these channels for FREE, and use my Amazon Prime membership, and sign up for Netflix, I can probably get rid of Cable TV forever.
Any ideas?

Based on the Broadway play by Robert Fryer and Lawrence Carr, Desk Set represents the eighth screen teaming of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn plays the head of a TV network research department; Tracy plays an efficiency expert, hired to modernize Hepburn's operation. When Tracy has a huge computer installed, Hepburn and her co-workers (including Joan Blondell and Sue Miss Landers Randall) fear that they're going to lose their jobs. Their suspicions are confirmed when the computer merrily begins issuing pink termination slips. But something is obviously amiss: the computer not only fires the ladies, but also the head of the network--and Tracy, who isn't even on the company payroll! At this point, Tracy explains that the computer was designed to help Hepburn and her staff and not replace them; he also confesses that, given the pink-slip incident, this might not have been such a hot idea. But Hepburn, who has fallen in love with Tracy, is in just the right mood to forgive him--and doesn't need to consult her research files to come up with this decision.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Director: Walter Lang
Writer: Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron
Cast: Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Gig Young, Joan Blondell, Dina Merrill, Sue Randall, Neva Patterson, Harry Ellerbe, Nicholas Joy and Diane Jergens
Sorry there are no upcoming showtimes for Desk Set (1957)

Hitomi Tanaka – Babe of the Day
Some of you may not be familiar with today's Babe of the Day, Hitomi Tanaka, because she's a Japanese adult video actress. But hey, it's always fun to learn something new every day, right?
Tanaka-san is in her late 20s and is enjoying her time as one of Japan's premiere adult video actresses. Not only has she starred in numerous hardcore films, but she's also worked as a non-nude gravure idol and a pink film actress, meaning that she's acted in softcore movies as well.
She's set to make her North American debut later this year, so keep your eyes peeled for this Japanese wonder with the 42H breasts. And trust us, you'll have to keep 'em wide open take in all of her magnificence.

I got into the franchise with Heartcatch, which is still my favorite.
I like Suite and Splash Star quite a bit, also.
Though with Precure, there isn't much of an accepted "best to worst" ranking. You could easily find two people with exact opposite rankings of each season, (probably) excepting the sequel seasons. What I've seen of Max Heart and heard of GoGo suggests that they aren't as good as the ones they're based on.

When starting PreCure, you have to understand what the franchise is about.
It's schoolgirl drama + Dragonball Z style fights, with a magical backdrop. The main course of the show is the shoujo drama, so in that regard HeartCatch PreCure, Futari wa PreCure and Yes PreCure 5 are the best. HCPC and FWPC double by integrating the magical stuff with the drama, while in Yes 5 (outside of the mascots) the conflicts were mostly independent of the drama.
Fresh is under-rated, IMV...a lot of people called it bad, but it was very different from everything before HCPC, and is a solid show, albeit not on the godly level of Yes and HCPC. Maybe even with FWPC when FWPC's second season + Max Heart is taken into account.
Smile and Suite are bad, Suite because of storytelling problems and Smile because of an utter lack of story at all. There's a handful of good Smile episodes, like the recent character-focused ones, but we have to remember every episode in Yes was like that. Take away the shoujo drama, and Smile just becomes another moe show. It might be a good moe show, but that doesn't make it a good PreCure.
I love Smile's characters, although they're louder stereotypes than Yes 5's cast, but I can't wait to get away from this anime. The lack of any continuous drama/development isn't a good trade-off for the otaku shout-outs, occasional humour and moe. When I look back at HCPC and season 1 of FWPC, I remember an endearing anime. When I look back at Smile, I think of something I just watched to burn time.

I think you're running a little too fast and loose with your definition of what makes a good Precure series. Most of Smile's problems were far more evident in Fresh, which had a tonne of its own. Fresh had a plot when it felt like it, with an arbitrarily vague countdown timer and Fresh's gimmick episods (And the long swathes of filler, because what else do you call it when you can't see the countdown counting down) were borderline insulting.
Yes, Smile has no story to speak of and no real character development to speak of. The fact that it manages to be a consistently funny show despite this is its best defense. It's a different kind of Precure. It still has what I would consider the heart of a Precure series, and if you gave it a different name and took the spats off, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't mistake it for anything else. I wouldn't want it two years in a row, but it's nice to have once.
Also I think someone here mentioned early in the Smile thread that to use the term 'moe' when describing Precure is pretty meaningless given its target demographic (And the fact Smile seems to be nailing its target demographic as well as the older fans). Slice of life would work better, or maybe just straight up comedy.
I'll definitely agree with you that Yes has the very best character development in the franchise, though I'd also call it the least Precure-y. So yeah.

There wasn't filler in Smile's sense where stuff is invented for one episode, then never visited again. Think Akane's rivalry with Nao during the beach episode, it happened once out of nowhere and has been forgotten. Compare that to how Milk was utterly intolerant of Nozomi for most of Yes 5 but grew much more tolerant/supportive as time went on after tons of interactions and altercations.

Fresh had some really out there episodes, like the one that makes the donut shop owner into some kind of superhero and another where it shows Miyuki with a danger room setup that would make the X-Men jealous... I can't say if they're never seen again, since I haven't finished the show, but they sure felt like they were pulled out of nowhere. It's nowhere near as bad of offender in this regard as Smile, but it isn't exactly free of it.
I agree on Suite having a lot of story problems, but Hummy really made the show for me... I can forgive a lot if there's a character I really like.
Speaking of... Yayoi seems laser-targeted at Otaku.

Don't get me wrong though, Setsuna's developing relationship with Love is one of the real gems of the franchise and more than enough reason by itself to watch Fresh.
Also in regards to Yes, because I feel I need to explain myself further on this one, the aspect I wasn't so fond of was the romance angle. It really didn't help the Sailor Moon comparisons (Especially that GoGo movie) and it just seemed far less Precure-y because of that. Saying that, it's also my third favourite series after Splash Star and Heartcatch, and had FRIENDSHIP (Which to me is what Precure is all about) in spades too. Best character development and most shambolic plot.
So I guess what this boils down to is I'm saying I liked all the series, including Smile, but do agree that Doki Doki should be its own beast.

IGN's Tokyo Game Show crew just arrived back from Japan yesterday, and in-hand they carried a video tape jam-packed with the trailers that Konami was showing off at its booth. The said reel of footage contains footage of nearly all of the company's upcoming projects. The biggest trailers include Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Castlevania, Dance Dance Revolution (if you're a fan), and perhaps the company's more recent unique titles like Cy Girls (Cool Girls in Japan) and Firefighter.
The MGS: TTS trailer is the newer cut, five-minutes in length, which highlights the upcoming conflict between the "brother of light" and "dark." Then with Cy Girls and Firefighter you get a chance to see more of what the games are about. As you'll see from the Cy Girls footage, these ladies are indeed beautiful, but they've got a wide selection of moves and gameplay, although heavy on the action, still seems varied because of this. In fact, Konami promises the experience, which takes place over two DVDs will add up to 40 hours of gamplay time -- and that assumes you don't get all the bonuses. Regarding Firefighter, well we just recommend watching the trailer because it's one of the more bizarre concepts we've seen in a while; a love story and quasi-simulation of firefighting combine forces, which is all strangely compelling.
Anyhow, we've said enough and you've watched too little. Check these trailers out now.
