Outfit Details:
Vintage (altered) peter pan illusion blouse: thrifted
Camel cardigan: thrifted
Navy blue 12 year old boy slacks: thrifted
Belle by Sigerson Morrison nude flats: C/O Rue La La
Sunglasses: Asos
So in case you didn't know, I got a hair cut! It's actually a little shorter then what I originally wanted but since my hair grows so fast I figured that I can enjoy the growing out phase a bit longer. Also, with all of these 1920s movies (Huge, The Artist, The Great Gatsby) in theaters/ in production I've been seeing short hair everywhere and it makes me feel better about the length :X I just need to figure out how to do finger waves (cut to me spending two hours on YouTube watching hair and makeup videos. Friday night, what?)
I think this color combo of black, navy blue, and camel is pretty adult of me. I really love black and navy blue together (but only if the navy blue obviously looks blue and is not one of those double take, is that black?? shades) so this outfit was nice to put on. Something else that was nice to put on is this cardigan! I wear so many baggy, oversized ones that this vintage fitted number feels so nice. Thanks for letting me steal this one out of CardiganKing Grant ;-)
Ooh and a note about my vintage store, Three Feathers: I'm closing it down and opening a new store on etsy! I'd been thinking about starting fresh for a long time (I started the etsy way before my blog, hence the different name) and this store is going to be bigger, better, and way more awesome. I'll still be selling vintage clothing but I'm going to add more accessories and possibly housewares to the mix.
Anyway, if you're a fan of the old store I'd so appreciate it if you would favorite the new store right here: http://www.milkteeths.etsy.com
My plan is to open it by the end of the month (at the latest) and let's just say there are going to be some crazy deals to be had in order to kick things off right. I've also been hoarding vintage like a madwoman (hence the lack of new merch in the store right now) so the stuff in the new store is going to be pretty amazing, If I do say so myself!

For a Dog-gone Good Cause…Here is a great "Pet-Themed" digital kit I found through Shabby Miss Jenn that supports the ASPCA! It has very cute Doggy & Kitty stuff in it. You can either buy the kit and make up your own pages or you can buy the pre-made pages with the alphabet set and add photos and make pages quickly. I understand that what you pay for the kit is considered a donation to the ASPCA and that means it should be tax deductible…so while the ASPCA gets a donation, you get a really cute "Pet-Themed" digital kit or pre-made pages to use. On the site, there is a link to see what others have done with their pages for ideas. The kit was created by several people, but two are designers I have met through Pink Ink Studios (Holly McCaig) and Shabby Miss Jenn's Designs (Shabby Miss Jenn). I think it is cute and a "Dog-gone" good cause!

We propose a novel, high-contrast imager called a polarization interferometric nulling coronagraph (PINC) for direct detection of extrasolar planets. The PINC uses achromatic half-wave plates (HWPs) installed in a fully symmetric beam combiner based on polarizing beam splitters. Jones calculus suggests that a stellar halo suppression level of can be achieved at 5 for a broad wavelength range from 1.6 to by using Fresnel-rhomb HWPs made of BK7. Laboratory experiments on the PINC used two laser light sources (wavelengths of and ), and we obtained a halo suppression level of approximately at 5 for both wavelengths.

40 CFR 61.273 - Alternative means of emission limitation.
(a) Upon written application from any person, the Administrator may approve the use of alternative means of emission limitation which have been demonstrated to his satisfaction to achieve a reduction in benzene emissions at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions achieved by any requirement in § 61.271 (a), (b), or (c) of this subpart.
(b) Determination of equivalence to the reduction in emissions achieved by the requirements of § 61.271 (a), (b), or (c) will be evaluated using the following information to be included in the written application to the Administrator:
(1) Actual emissions tests that use full-size or scale-model storage vessels that accurately collect and measure all benzene emissions from a given control device, and that accurately simulate wind and account for other emission variables such as temperature and barometric pressure.
(2) An engineering evaluation that the Administrator determines is an accurate method of determining equivalence.
(c) The Administrator may condition approval of equivalency on requirements that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the same emission reduction as the requirements of § 61.271 (a), (b), or (c).
(d) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an application for equivalence may be approvable, the Administrator will publish a notice of preliminary determination in the Federal Register and provide the opportunity for public hearing. After notice and opportunity for public hearing, the Administrator will determine the equivalence of the alternative means of emission limitation and will publish the final determination in the Federal Register.

Spring must be here, as the complaints about loud motorcycle pipes have kicked in before many have hit the streets (editorial, March 2).
As a rider, I know firsthand how loud pipes help. Maybe other drivers don't see me, but will hopefully look for the sound.
Maybe, many of those complainers are the same people who don't know what the little lever on the left side of the steering is for, or ride with their foot on the brake, or understand the concept of the center turn lane.
Some of those drivers need to take a road test a little more often to make sure they can see to the right and left before they change lanes into me, but I tolerate all of these, as they should tolerate me and my bike.
By the way, my motorcycle gets 40 mpg.
Those people should complain about the gas prices or the conditions of town roads or something else for a while. At least the snowmoble riders can be left alone now.

The insurance company approved and paid for the work, and then Mike completed all the additional repairs.
Roofers who don't listen to their customers are on the wrong track. Homeowners know their property inside and out, giving roofers insight into possible issues with leaks or cracks along decking.

i'm getting this error on EventSystem::update() in my game project, but not when i run the examples. i have a SoundBlaster Audiogy 2 ZS, driver version 184.108.40.2066 (8/11/2006), and i have the latest fmod win32 release.
this is the error desc., as per the help file:
"A call to a standard soundcard driver failed, which could possibly mean a bug in the driver or resources were missing or exhausted. "
there can't be a bug in my driver if i can run the examples, so maybe its a resource allocation problem. do you guys have any advice on how i might be able to track this down?
by the way, if i ignore the error, the system seems to be running with no hitches, but this still scares me.
- dave7L asked 12 years ago
Try doing something like System::setHardwareChannels(0,24,0,24); to reduce the number of available hardware voices accessible. It can be a driver error, like you say it is probably to do with resources (ie number of hardware voices being utilized). It could also be to do with your source data (do you have any sounds with odd sample rates, or very low or very high sample rates?).
Last thing to try is force software on your banks, if it ever causes a problem.
i actually get the error on the first frame that i update my event system, before i load any of the event data, so i don't think it has anything to do with my wav banks. i tried reducing the number of hardare channels, but it had no effect.
- dave7L answered 12 years ago
It can only be some directsound function failing, which comes from your driver. You would be best off just filtering that error out and ignoring it. There is something wrong with your setup.

A federal judge cited the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby birth control case in ruling that a member of a polygamist Mormon splinter group does not have to answer questions from the Department of Labor because of his religious beliefs, the Salt Lake City Tribune reported.
U.S. District Judge David Sam ruled that Vergel Steed does not have to respond to a subpoena concerning his work in 2012 at a pecan ranch believed to be run by members or companies affiliated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS).
Sam wrote in his ruling that Labor officials "failed to show that forcing Mr. Steed to answer the questions offensive to his sincerely held religious beliefs is the least restrictive means to advance any compelling interest it may have."
As Think Progress noted, the high court's ruling in Hobby Lobby undermined a provision in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (PDF) requiring individuals to demonstrate a "substantial burden" upon their religious practices before they could ask to be exempt from laws "neutral" toward religion.
Authorities suspect that unpaid labor and children were used at the ranch to collect the nut harvest that year. Steed, who works at the church's private school, said in a deposition this past January that he did not know about the harvest, but when asked if he was employed by the church, he said that was a "religious question" he should not answer.
The department has also deposed Lyle Jeffs, brother of FLDS founder and "prophet" Warren Jeffs, who is currently in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting two underage girls. Officials possess a voicemail message, allegedly left by Lyle Jeffs, instructing the school to close for a week and direct members to work at the ranch in Hurricane, Utah.
Sam's ruling reverses a magistrate judge's order that Steed answer the department's questions, saying the magistrate judge "made no credibility findings" regarding Steed's faith.
"The Court concludes that Mr. Steed's beliefs, as expressed by him, are sincerely held and religious in nature," Sam wrote. "He has so stated under oath. There is no evidence of record that he does not sincerely hold his expressed religious beliefs."
Steed had stated that his vows to the church prevent him from discussing "matters related to [its] internal affairs."
The Supreme Court ruled in the Hobby Lobby decision earlier this year that the U.S. government could not force companies to follow the reproductive health guidelines established in the Affordable Care Act if their owners objected for religious reasons.

Molly Stark re-emerges at New Boston tavernBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
August 10. 2012 1:53AM
NEW BOSTON - Gone for a while, but not forgotten, the name of New Boston's hometown heroine is once again gracing the side of the town's largest restaurant.
Over the last decade, the former Molly Stark Tavern, named for the indomitable wife of Revolutionary War General John Stark, has changed hands three times, first becoming the New Boston Tavern, and then Kiki's. But in July, three people with lots of experience running restaurants in New Hampshire took the establishment over and have named it once again in honor of Mrs. John Stark.
Molly's is now owned by Carol Sheehan of Red Arrow Diner fame, Neville Pereira of Ignite and Hooked in Manchester, and Liu Vaine, a restaurant consultant who formerly ran the Draft Sports Bar in Concord and Jokers in Manchester.
Sheehan, who is juggling seven restaurants, said Molly's opened officially last Friday with a focus on family-friendly dining.
The restaurant, which was most recently owned by Kirstin Montgomery, was left in great shape, and there wasn't much that needed to be done to reopen, the new owners said. The restaurant, and the former tavern located in a barn across the parking lot, are both offering a full menu of casual cuisine.
The day-to-day operations of Molly's are being handled by Vaine, who said he was invited by Sheehan and Pereira to visit the property earlier this year and immediately knew he wanted to be part of the new venture.
'I was walking the property with my daughter, and I saw how happy she was,' Vaine said. 'I just fell in love with the restaurant and New Boston. It's such a beautiful place.'
Vaine said out he wanted to create a place he would feel comfortable bringing his children, but without the expense.
'My daughter is three, and she's a picky eater so she usually eats pasta with butter, but at some of the restaurants we go to, we end up paying $6 for something that costs 25 cents to make,' he said. 'So we decided that kids 5 and under would eat free off the children's menu.'
Vaine said he's also going to be reaching out to local schools to offer older children a chance at free meals if they do well in their studies.
The menu includes traditional family fare like macaroni and cheese and burgers, but there are a few surprises as well including haddock piccata, fish tacos, Asian steak tips and a mahi Reuben. The average price of an entr�e is around $12, and the most expensive thing on the menu is a New York strip steak at $21.
'We're not operating with a permanent menu yet because we want the people in this area to give us feedback on what they want to see on the menu. We want them to tell us what works and what doesn't,' Vaine said. 'We really want this restaurant to be about this community.'

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Elsie; her husband, Bob Fletcher; and a sister, Irene M. Berk.

A memorial service with time of fellowship with family and friends will be held Monday, Nov. 7, 2011, at 10 a.m. at Sunnyside Presbyterian Church, 737 S. 16th Street in Sunnyside.

Read your way across the globe with our PLANET YA maps!
Today's stop: EUROPE
A few weeks ago we debuted our United States of YA reading map, a map featuring young adult books set in all 50 states. We promised to extend the project to the rest of the world, and thanks to your help, we've been working hard on creating a list of YA books set in as many countries as we can.

Picture a mural showing an artist, easel before him, gazing at green horses.
Green horses?
``That`s because that`s the school color,`` said Jody Sronce, a senior at McArthur High School and an artist. ``A few people wondered why we painted them green.``
So the green horses, symbolic of the school`s team name, the Mustangs, found themselves on the eastern wall of the school, painted there by a group of five art students who spent their after-school afternoons using their creative touch.
The mural, titled Art is the child of Nature, was the inspiration of Sronce, who moved to this area from Illinois during his junior year.
In Illinois, he had some experience with painting walls, except the principal of his high school didn`t welcome it at the time. Sronce and his friends spray-painted a mural on the art building to protest the closing of the school`s art program.
This time, though, he has the support of McArthur Principal David Hogg. Art teacher Janet Raymond keeps an eye on the work.
Sronce teamed up with senior Dan Ackenbrack to come up with the concept of the mural: a bright blaze of simple colors and a simple scene.
An artist, easel before him, is studying a picture of five horses of varying hues of green, trees in the background and a red bird with blue and yellow tailfeathers near the slogan: ``Art is the child of nature.``

Read This Please. Tell Your Friends.
I had a post written about this, but I love what Jeff Sass wrote. Here's a snippet and link to his blog. Please take a moment to give it a read. It's important.
A couple of months ago, at the behest of Dave Delaney, a group of 18 manly men of Twitter left our pride (and in a few cases, much of our clothing) at the door and volunteered our photos for a fund-raising calendar, "The 18 Hottest Men On Twitter." While we had fun taking the photos, and blogged and tweeted about it when it first became available, very few of you responded, judging from the somewhat lackluster initial sales. When us self-proclaimed "HotMen" debriefed ourselves and questioned our poor results, it quickly became apparent that this was not about us, it was about THE CAUSE, and despite our desire to do some good, perhaps we had lost sight of that in favor of giggling at our goofy pictures.

text: Star Wars movies have probably done more for the personal robotics industry than anything and it looks like George Lucas will finally bring Star Wars stories to the little screen (TV). It won't be the typical stories about Anakin or Darth Vader tho, instead, the stories will focus on the robots of Star Wars! Lucas envisions that these live-action robot shows will last for at least 100 episodes! George Lucas jokes that the stories will be about the lives of robots. Perhaps Star Wars will yet again give a boost to Personal Robotics.

CLEVELAND -- Parker Hannifin Corp., which makes industrial hoses, airplane wheels and other products, said Wednesday that it has agreed to buy Sea Recovery from Denmark's Danfoss A/S.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Cleveland-based Parker Hannifin will assume ownership of the business on Nov. 1.
Compton, Calif.-based Sea Recovery, which will become a part of Parker's filtration group, makes reverse osmosis systems that turn sea water into fresh water for both commercial and pleasure marine uses.
The company's sales for the 12 months ended Aug. 31 totaled about $26 million and it has 70 employees.
Parker Hannifin shares rose $1.85, or 2.3 percent, to $83.82 in afternoon trading Wednesday. Its shares are up 19 percent from a 52-week low of $70.42 in mid-July.

"We decided to terminate the cooperation because we could not come to an agreement with PT Datakom Asia, which owns PT Matahari Lintas Carawala [INDOVISION], on a satisfactory way to move forward with our alliance," Bruce Churchill, deputy CEO of Star TV, said in a statement released in mid December.
Star TV stopped 11 channels of programming-- including Star World, Star Movies, Star Sports, Fox News and Phoenix Movies.
Mr. Churchill lamented the end of the relationship. "Star TV has made every effort to make the alliance with Datakom work. We have been working with Datakom for the past three years to help build an important segment of the Indonesian broadcasting industry. Enormous investment has been made by Star TV both in terms of funds, time and professional and technical expertise."
The dispute reportedly arose from Indovision's failure to meet contract terms. However, Datakom Public Affairs Manager Eddi Elison said it was due mainly to his company's plan to move its transmission from the Palapa 2 satellite to its own Cakrawarta 1 satellite.
Mr. Elison said replacement programs will include AXN, Animal Planet, I Music, Jet TV, CCTV-4, RAI, TV5, MCM, Sony Entertainment and ART. Other channels Indovision carries include HBO, Cinemax, CNBC and CNN.
Mr. Churchill says Star TV has not soured on the Indonesian market. "Even though we finally decided to split with Datakom, Star TV and its parent company, News Corporation, remain committed to the Indonesian market. We are prepared to continue investment in the Indonesian broadcasting industry."

Pakistan cricket managers are struggling to choose a new captain for the national team after prime candidate Younis Khan set conditions for accepting the job, official sources said.
Khan, who was deputy to former skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq for nearly two years, is demanding full powers like his powerful predecessor, a condition unacceptable to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), board sources said.
Following the country's humiliating first round exit from the World Cup in Caribbean the PCB says it wants to put in place a new code for players and the captain.
"The new strategy envisages strong checks and balances on the captain to curtail his role in selecting players and dictating terms to the coach and the management, as has been the practice in the past," a PCB official told AFP.
"Younis Khan wanted to be an all-powerful captain and is reluctant to accept curbs," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The PCB wants to curtail "player power", which it believes has been responsible for the poor showing of the national team in big tournaments.
The official said announcement of the captain had been delayed as the PCB authorities try to resolve the problem.
However a PCB spokesman said the delay in choice of men for the two key posts was not due to any differences with Khan.
"The board is still discussing various options on who should be appointed as captain and coach for the team," spokesman Ahsan Malik told AFP.
"We have not reached the stage where we can offer captaincy to any player, we have chalked out a criterion and once that is settled we will announce the name."
Khan was appointed as Pakistan captain for the Champions Trophy in India in October when Inzamam was banned for bringing the game into disrepute during the Oval Test controversy last year.
But Khan initially refused the role at the time, saying he did not want to be a "dummy captain", apparently over differences with some of the senior players and over some selections.
Pakistan faces captaincy dilemma

Defining 2016 often ends with a hashtag unsuitable for print.
Politics and iconic deaths aside, the Front Range had its share of happy moments over the past year, so it's time to #focusonthegood.
Here are some highlights from 2016, as well as upcoming events to start filling up that 2017 calendar. (Digital or pen-on-paper. We won't judge.)MUSIC
• In 2016, Boulder saw an epic return of concerts to Folsom Field after a 15-year live music drought. Living members of the Grateful Dead coupled with some superstar musicians, Dead and Company brought live music back to Folsom over the Fourth of July weekend. What was once a summer staple in the 1970s will continue on again in 2017 with back-to-back shows featuring Dead and Company June 9-10.

("It's really shaping up to be a special year," Weingarden said.)

• In 2016, the Ranch in Loveland hosted the Mountain State Circuit Finals rodeo for the first time.

The finals rodeo pits the top 12 contestants in each competition, ranging from bull riding to barrel racing moved in 2016 from Rock Springs, Wyo., to the The Ranch in Loveland.
"If your contestant are happy and performing, the spectator are happy and get a great show, there not much more I could ask for," he said. Warpness is hoping from this success, the event can keep growing.

Re: Starting to burn......out! I hope not
"Burn out" Everyone is pretty much right on with their thoughts and advice. Aikido is an art of positive energy, anytime you inject positive and good energies into your life, you can expect their to be negative energies trying to unbalance you and prevent you from doing any good in this world with your Aikido. And believe me, if you stay with this art, trust in the principles as applied to daily life, you will have many opportunities in this life to have great impacts with your Aikido on people in your daily interactions with them. Aikido changes those who persevere and allow the non-conflicting teachings to work off the mat as well. Only a thought...

"We engaged Annie to facilitate a community and local government forum around finding positive messages for changing the date of Australia Day. Annie asked all the right questions to prepare for the day and the forum was a great success as it provided us with clear directions for further action. Annie was a well prepared, strong and respectful facilitator that we would recommend to anyone."
Petr Svoboda, Social Policy & Community Development Unit, Moreland City Council
"Annie Bolitho & Associates quickly understood what we were trying to achieve when we brought together our portfolio committees to see the outcomes of our community engagement on the community plan. She was a great guide in shaping a forum looking to 2040, and a trustworthy and independent facilitator on the night."
Eilis Hughes, Acting Coordinator, Leading Communities, City of Wyndham
"The citizens' jury model is a ground-breaking initiative. By opening up the council budget process, Darebin residents not only got a glimpse into the complex environment councils operate in, they also became community champions balancing the needs of the community against financial constraints. Thank you newDemocracy and the consultants."
Bo Li, Councillor, City of Darebin
"Annie Bolitho & Associates' knowledge of what jurors needed in our citizens' jury on acquired brain injury was essential. We were the experienced experts, but it was not about us! We needed to convey concepts that we as health professionals take for granted. We needed to know what would occur on the two days of the jury and how that would play out."
Associate Professor Natasha Lannin, Occupational Therapy, Latrobe University
"Annie's rare mix of process design skills, research background, experience within the public service and academia give her a presence as a facilitator that is hard to match. She doesn't shirk the difficult by either avoiding the issue or coming to premature conclusions, but rather gets people to sit with and have genuine dialogue with what is really going on. Annie can do it all, process design, facilitation, reporting and evaluation. "
Chad Foulkes, Coordinator, Healthy Together Communities, City of Greater Geelong
"Annie is an excellent designer and facilitator of multi-stakeholder processes and citizen panels. I've often referred people to her and they've been delighted with the outcomes. She has a wealth of experience and works skilfully with people from diverse backgrounds. She knows how to make complex information accessible and will support a group to find its own way, so that it reaches recommendations effectively."
Prof Lyn Carson, Sydney University
"Annie's deep understanding of people and processes enables her to see and carefully work within the dynamics of groups and organisations. Her broad knowledge of key issues in social sustainability, strong relationships and extensive networks position her well to work across many sectors, and she's fun to work with too!"
Kirsten Larsen, Open Food Network & Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab
"The session with Annie gave us clarity in planning and direction. It pulled together dimensions that are crucial to our future growth: business management, risk management and social enterprise. Laying it out has enabled us to prioritise, tick things off and firm up our foundations."
The Directors, Bereavement Assistance Ltd
"Annie has a reputation for a mature and collaborative approach. She quickly saw where the issues lay, helpfully clarified the initial brief, and was persistent and thoughtful in engaging the stakeholders. She worked efficiently and with little impact on my team, but was also able to discern where collaborative efforts were really needed to ensure the AQF review would result in change. Many of the recommendations are well on the way to implementation, and the report will guide our curriculum efforts over the coming years. "
Assoc Prof Kath Williams, Director, Office for Environmental Programs, University of Melbourne
"In a facilitated process, Annie brings in different techniques and approaches. She deals very well with individuals who have the potential to disrupt the process, staying on track while giving everyone the opportunity to have their say. Our project, the Richmond Estate Residents' Panel, achieved the result we were looking for."
Morgan Scholz, Manager, Collingwood Neighbourhood Justice Centre, Vic
"Our western Sydney council is prioritising sustainability and the creeks. It was great to have Annie conduct a workshop that put people in touch with seeing and using the creeks, which are integral to the landscape of the LGA, which is now so developed, but was settled around farms and access to water."
Carmel Aiello, Coordinator & Educator, Fairfield Museum and Gallery, NSW
"Annie is a very good event moderator, able to direct discussion to ensure that all participants provide their viewpoint in an authentic dialogue, making discussion engaging and smooth-flowing. She's excellent in managing questions and ensures that you finish on time!"
Helen Duckham, Manager, Office for Environmental Programs, University of Melbourne

Regular practice of this series of postures results in the healing and repair of injuries and illnesses, weight loss, and peace of mind.

Review | Pid
As I first sat down to play Pid for review, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about the game. I've played a few 2-D puzzle games like this before such as "Braid" and the spectacular "LIMBO," but by no means am I a master at the genre. Pid immediately drew me in with it's unique, charming style, and I can safely say that going into it and knowing nothing about it made it a pleasant surprise. With that said, as much as I enjoyed my time with Pid, a few minor issues keep it from reaching the heights of the games I previously mentioned.
Let me start off by saying that I applaud the developers on the work that's been done here. Pid is an excellent looking game that plays remarkably well. The puzzles are interesting and varied, the level design and character models are unique and quirky, and the gameplay mechanics work quite well. It's easy to tell that a lot of love and care was put into this project and it shows.
Pid puts you in the role of Kurt, a young boy on his quest to get back home. When he is abandoned inexplicably into a bizarre world with little help or information from the locals, Kurt decides to take the initiative and find his own way back. Along the way Kurt finds an orb that gives him the ability to throw down up to two gravity wells at a time in order to traverse the levels. Depending on where you place the gravity well, the trajectory will be different. If you throw one on the floor, it'll project you upwards. Place one on a slanted wall and it will push you diagonally and so on and so forth. These gravity wells can be used in conjunction with one another to help you collect items, distract or destroy enemies, and fight bosses.
Most of the puzzles are fairly simple and will only require a few tries to get right, if not on the first try. However, the game has some instances where the difficulty curve goes way off and I felt like I was being punished. I chalk this up to some poor level design decisions, and not as much player error. Again, I'm not saying that I'm a master at this genre, but when I'm cursing at the screen repeatedly at such a charming game because I keep getting shafted and I've made no errors of my own, that tells me that something's not quite right.
While many of the puzzles and bosses are very interesting, at times I found myself feeling a little bored. Regardless of the charm, the game isn't always engaging and can be a little monotonous from time to time. Sure, there are items that you can acquire later that help with solving various puzzles, as well as new enemy types to outwit. However, none of it was interesting enough to make me yearn for what was around the next corner. I never felt overly compelled to get to the next area. The checkpoints are forgiving enough, but one could argue that they are too forgiving, giving you little incentive to play it safe. The bosses, while amazingly well designed and quite funny at times, were fairly simple to defeat and never felt like real threats. The checkpoint system is probably to blame for this also.
The music in the game is absolutely fantastic. It fits the art style and gameplay perfectly and I caught myself constantly tapping my Xbox controller to the beat of the music (you know you all do it too). Whoever designed the music for the game should be applauded for the work they've done here and it's easily one of the high points of the game.
If you enjoy 2-D puzzle platforming games, then Pid just might be the game you're looking for. While not groundbreaking, it's functional and can offer some fun moments. It's charming, well designed, and is a great way to tease your brain for a few hours.
Tease your brain for a few hours!
