Everyone deserves a whiter, brighter and healthier smile. In the past, having pearly whites meant expensive in-office whitening treatments or awkward at-home applications. Today, Supersmile offers effective, affordable whitening alternatives. Created by the father of aesthetic dentistry, Dr. Irwin Smigel, Supersmile boasts scientifically advanced whitening ingredients. This includes the patented Calprox technology, which safely lifts surface stains from teeth by removing the protein pellicle, the film that bacteria and plaque adhere to. Offering an impressive variety of convenient, fast-acting products, the entire Supersmile line works on all types of teeth: natural teeth, veneers, teeth with braces, caps and dentures.
Whitening toothpastes might be a staple in toothpaste aisles nationwide today, but this innovative concept started with one brand: Supersmile. The company launched in 1987, and a whitening toothpaste that founder Dr. Irwin Smigel first made exclusively for his patients helped to create a brand that has since become the Number One Whitening System recommended by cosmetic dentists nationwide. Although whitening toothpaste gave Supersmile its start more than two decades ago, the company has now expanded its product line to offer a variety of products to brighten your smile.
Supersmile recognizes the importance of effective dental hygiene and wants to educate its customers in addition to providing them with whitening products. Proper oral care varies for every individual, some people might face conditions such as gingivitis, while others might have sensitive teeth that do not respond well to many whitening treatments. Understanding more about these conditions is made simple by Supersmile, helping its customers discover the right products for their unique needs. In addition to offering important customer education, Supersmile stands behind its clinically proven Calprox technology, a safe alternative to other harsh whitening treatments on the market. In fact, Supersmile prides itself in the fact that Calprox, while innovative, remains gentle on your teeth. You want a whiter and brighter smile, but not at the risk of your overall oral hygiene. When you choose Supersmile, you can discover the benefits of effective whitening without any discomfort or damage. Check out the line of Supersmile products available at SkinStore to find the right ones to add to your daily dental hygiene routine today.

These gentle products work on natural teeth, veneers, as well as teeth with braces, caps, and dentures.
The array of Supersmile Products allows you to whiten no matter your dental needs. You can use toothpaste, floss, or a professional whitening system to brighten your smile.

Calprox whitens your teeth, and baking soda freshens your breath. Supersmile Original Mint Whitening Toothpaste includes fluoride, recommended by the American Dental Association, to prevent cavities. If you have surface stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, or red wine use, add Supersmile Original Mint Whitening Toothpaste to your daily dental routine. This 4.2-ounce tube will last you three months.
Ideally, you can brush your teeth after every meal, but realistically, that isn't always possible. With Supersmile Single Dose Powdered Mouthrinse, you can freshen your breath and clean your teeth on the go. Just open an individual foil packet, add water, swirl, and rinse to flight plaque and stains. Baking soda freshens your breath and helps prevent cavities. This convenient rinse doesn't contain alcohol and sugar and is perfect to keep in your car, office, briefcase, or purse for daily use.
When it comes to whitening your teeth, you might opt for pricey dental treatments or toothpastes that deliver questionable results. Now, you can whiten your teeth with Supersmile Whitening Floss, the world's first floss that includes Calprox to whiten your teeth. This innovative floss allows you to whiten those hard-to-reach spots in between your teeth. You can eliminate stubborn stains and order-causing plaque under your gumline. Use daily, this 100-yard spool should last you at least three months.

Ask Ben: Adding A Query String Pair Value To Existing HTML Using ColdFusion
I have a challenge for you. I would like to find every link in a block of html and add a name/value pair to the end of the query string. For example: It might find a link google I want it to change the link to google We need to keep in mind that some links might already have a '?' and we need to use '&' while others will not have the '?'.
This sounds like a job for Mr. Regular Expression! For this demo, I had to assume a few things:
- We are searching the ENTIRE page content and NOT just the content between two tags.
- The HREF attribute only exists within an anchor tag and will always denote a value that we want to modify.
These two assumptions make the solutions much more simple. If either of those is not true, then things get much more sticky. And, since I don't have anything else to go on, this is fine with me.
I am going to perform the URL alteration in two passes. The first pass will add the name-value pair to URLs with exsting query strings. The second pass will create a query string consisting of the name-value pair for URLs that do NOT have an existing query string. This order is very important. If we tried to do it in reverse order, creating new query string values, then the second pass would alter ALL the URLs, including the ones previously altered. By only appending query string values in the first run, we can be sure in the second run that we are only modifying URL values that have not yet been modified.
Also, for the purposes of this demo, I am going to alter the HTML before it even gets sent to the browser (using the existing page content buffer). Again, this is not the only way to do this. I am just doing what will be easiest for the demo as my problem domain has not been fully defined.
For this demo, I am adding the name-value pair "source=bennadel.com" to the query string. Let's start off with a simple HTML page that has a few links, some of which have a query string, some of which do not:
-
-
- <title>Alter URL Demo</title>
-
-
-

- Hey man, if you are looking for some good images, you should probably try out the search page on Search Galleries. It's pretty darn comprehensive and seems to keep track of all the free galleries that you will ever need. If you want to mess with the URL, its easy; just add a "q" query string value to the search url. The general site search URL is http://www.searchgalleries.com/search/. So, then, to add a query value to it, such as "mature", you would simply add the query string "q=mature" to the url: http://www.searchgalleries.com/search/?q=mature. You can even search for more than one value at a given time. So, for instance, if you want to search for mature brunette women, you would put go to the URL:
- http://www.searchgalleries.com/search/?q=mature+brunette. Notice that "mature" and "brunette" are separated by a "+" sign. This is the URL encoded form of a space.
-

-
-
-
- <cfset objPageContext = GetPageContext() />
-
- <cfset objBuffer = objPageContext.GetOut().GetBuffer() />
-
- <cfset strContent = objBuffer.ToString() />
-
- <cfset strContent = strContent.ReplaceAll(
- "(?i)(href="")(.+?\?[^""]*)("")",
- "$1$2&source=bennadel.com$3"
- ) />
-
- <cfset strContent = strContent.ReplaceAll(
- "(?i)(href="")([^""?]+)("")",
- "$1$2?source=bennadel.com$3"
- ) />
-
- <cfset objPageContext.GetOut().ClearBuffer() />
-
- <cfset WriteOutput( strContent ) />
Notice that the ColdFusion code goes after the HTML has already been written to the content buffer. If we didn't do it in this fashion, then we wouldn't have any HTML to work with. Running the above code, our resultant source code of our HTML page is:
-
-
- <title>Alter URL Demo</title>
-
-
-

- Hey man, if you are looking for some good images, you should probably try out the search page on Search Galleries.

Notice that the name-value pair has been properly added to existing query strings and set as the query string to URLs that did not have an existing query string value. Also notice that it only modified the HREF attributes and did NOT alter the text of the link in any way even though the text contained similar URLs.
Now, we did this a post-page-processing technique, but there is no reason that this could not be wrapped up in a ColdFusion user defined function (UDF). Doing it this way, you could pass any kind of HTML you wanted to the function for altering. This would make it more flexible and could still be used in the fashion above.
Reader Comments
While I can't say that I'm particularly interested in the code to add URL params to every link on the page, the output buffer reading is something I've been wishing I could do in ColdFusion for a while. Thanks Ben!
Why do this in coldfusion, why not do it in javascript, so you can add it on the fly, rather than after the fact.
Yeah, don't worry about the URLs themselves. I just had to put down something for an example, and I try not to think too much very early in the morning. As far as reading from the output buffer, that should be something available since CFMX 6, but it is kind of buried under a bunch of method calls. I only found it through someone else's code samples.
You could certainly do that via Javascript. The problem I was asked was to do it in ColdFusion. The only negative thing about doing it in Javascript is that if for some reason something goes wrong, and the Javascript breaks on the page, the links might not be modified. If you do it in CF, then you don't have to worry about anything client-related.
A reason to do it in CF rather than javascript could be so that Search Engines will pick up the modified URL, in case that's important. I suspect it is for a lot of folks.
Two outside cases not accounted for (although granted, they weren't mentioned in the requirements) are URLs which include a page anchor (e.g., "index.cfm?q#top") and URLs which already contain the query key you're adding (with any corresponding value).
One very minor critique about the above regexes is that, for efficiency, greedy repetition should be used where appropriate ("[^?]+\?" instead of ".+?\?").
Thanks for the regex tip. You can see that I started to use that mentality for the quotes [^"?]+. Sometimes, I am just not sure which is better. In generally, it seems it is always better to tell it what NOT to matcher rather than to tell it just to be non-greedy?
"In generally, it seems it is always better to tell it what NOT to matcher rather than to tell it just to be non-greedy?"
If it's possible to use such a pattern, then yes, typically. The reason ".+?\?" is slower is that the dot matches the question mark, so when using it with lazy repetition like that, the regex engine matches just one character at a time and backtracks after each step. If you use "[^?]+\?", the regex engine greedily matches everything up to a question mark in one step, and since it's then followed by a question mark (which wasn't allowed in the previous part), no backtracking is required. So less steps, and less backtracking.
The impact of this change would probably be tiny, but lazy repetition in the wrong hands is a performance SNAFU or even server crash waiting to happen (this sort of thing is possible without lazy repetition, but such quantifiers make it easier to trigger catastrophic backtracking). These kinds of problems are usually easy to fix (e.g., throw an atomic group [or a faked one... see http://badassery.blogspot.com/2007/04/faking-atomic-groups.html ] around problematic segments), but generally I try to write regexes to be as efficient as possible (within reason, since optimizations which take advantage of language-specific engine implementations can make a simple regex much less readable, which I don't generally agree with).
One other minor point you seem to have missed is that href is also an attribute that link tags use mainly for including CSS files which would almoast certainly be included in the page and should really be modified ;)
That makes a lot of sense. I think I should just break down and get RegEx Buddy cause I think you said that walks you through the steps, right? I am still not wrapping my head properly around atomic groups and/or possessive quantifiers... just gotta rock some examples to drive it home. I saw your post a while back and it looks very cool.
Damn you! ;) I have addressed your issue (but not dealt with it).
Here is a different approach that covers more of the use cases:
This uses a Java patterns / matcher to loop over the matched URLs and examine them each at time. This is easier to me than making a more complicated regular expression. However, Steve, if you are game and perhaps you can alter the first attempt (this one) and alter the regular expression to handle the other use cases - I demand satisfaction (throwing down the gauntlet).
Regarding RegexBuddy, yeah, it can show you all the steps its engine takes to match or fail a pattern using its so-called debugger (I've learned a lot by studying the results from this). I'm a big RegexBuddy evangelist (I love its debugger, real-time matching, and wide regex feature support, and there are plenty of other useful features), but for those interested in a free yet still very solid regex assistant app I'd recommend Expresso ( http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm ), which uses the .NET library's regex engine.
By the way, just to be clear about what I meant earlier regarding taking advantage of language-specific engine implementations, I meant exploiting optimizations built into certain regex engines, not engine-specific features. I'll readily make use of features available, but I tend to avoid some more specific things (e.g., with some engines "aa*" is faster than "a+", and "(?=c)cat|cap" is faster than "cap|cat").
I'll take a look at your other thread. I'm always down for a regex challenge. :-)
Wow, this has saved us a day's development time and works like a dream - thank you so much.
Glad to help my man :)

Young Ornithologists' Workshop (YOW)
The dates of the 2019 Doug Tarry Young Ornithologist Workshop will be August 3 to 11, 2019.
Since the creation of the Doug Tarry Young Ornithologists' Workshop in the mid-1970s, it has been the jumping-off point for many of Canada's best and brightest scientists, field biologists, and naturalists. Thanks to the keen foresight and generosity of humanitarian and naturalist Doug Tarry, the workshop is offered free to selected applicants. The program has trained over 150 young people since 1991.
Participants experience nature and ornithology firsthand in a research-oriented setting. Bird banding and migration monitoring are the main focus, but 'YOWs' enjoy a wide range of hands-on natural history and scientific activities. Space is limited. The workshop annually supports six teens from across Canada, ranging in age from 13-17 years old.
The Award covers all direct costs of the workshop (accommodation, meals, travel while at Long Point, and professional instruction). Recipients are responsible for their transportation to Long Point.
Young Ornithologists' Internship
Month-long student internships are awarded to mature teenagers with clearly demonstrated interests in field ornithology. Interns are often YOW graduates. Each August-September, one or more interns spend three to four weeks at LPBO, assisting with all aspects of LPBO's Migration Monitoring Program to further develop their skills. With the help of LPBO staff, interns design and conduct an independent field research project.
Prospective participants of the workshop or the internship should download the application form or email the Long Point Bird Observatory Program Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Applications are due by April 30.

Stiliyan Petrov announces retirement
Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov has announced his retirement from football to continue his fight against leukaemia through his new charity organisation.
The Bulgarian midfielder has not played for Villa since he was diagnosed with the illness in March 2012 and the 33-year-old has decided to call time on his career.
Petrov admits it is with a "heavy heart" that he has decided to retire, but may still have a coaching role to play under manager Paul Lambert, with Villa believed to be considering offering him a role at the club's Bodymoor Heath training complex.
He is still receiving treatment for the illness but he is excited by the challenge of helping other leukaemia suffers fight the disease.
"Football has been the other great love of my life, so it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my retirement from the game," he said in a statement on the official Villa website." The emotions are overwhelming really, but the continued support of family, friends and the great people I have come to know will make it easier for me to move on from the only life I've ever known.
"That I am ready to embrace new challenges will make this process much easier. Since being diagnosed with acute leukaemia in March 2012, I have come to understand and appreciate the way in which this disease impacts the lives of so many people.
"I can help and I want to help and, in setting up a foundation to help address the issues involved when people are diagnosed with this illness, I hope to make a difference. This will be my new challenge, one I will face with all the enthusiasm, energy and drive with which I have faced every single challenge."
Petrov moved to Celtic from CSKA Sofia in 2006 under Martin O'Neill and became the Northern Irishman's first signing at Villa Park when O'Neill took over as manager from David O'Leary.
He will be forever known as "Stan" to Villa supporters who mark his illness with a minute's applause in the 19th minute of every game in recognition of their captain's squad number.
Petrov was diagnosed last year after a game at the Emirates which the Bulgarian international will never forget, adding: "I thought was just a cold but turned out to be something more serious, something life-changing. I played 90 minutes for Villa against Arsenal at the Emirates and I felt fatigued, not myself at all. But I thought it was nothing serious. The diagnosis by Dr Richard Lovell was a complete shock.
"Around 7,600 people in the UK are diagnosed each year with leukaemia and about 2,300 people with acute leukaemia. Fortunately, I was able to make decisions very quickly and I started my treatment quickly. I needed to.
"My leukaemia is now in remission and I have finished my high intensity treatment. From now on I'll be on the softer treatment, which is two years on tablets. I feel lucky. Not everyone is as lucky as I have been.
"For this I need to thank Professor David Linch at University College London Hospital, his PA Teresa Macdonald and all of the nurses and staff at that wonderful institution. Thank you also to Professor Charlie Craddock, Sandeep Nagra and all of the nurses who have looked after me at University Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
"For the life I've lived in football, I will always be incredibly grateful. For the opportunity this crazy thing that happened in my life has given me, I also feel grateful in a strange kind of way. This crazy thing, somehow, has touched people and I want to try to channel this in a positive way. This will be the greatest challenge of my life."

It does to me. As a Wall Street equity analyst, I found myself in this very situation, until one day, I decided enough was enough. I needed to learn how to cook. I wanted to have people over, both people I knew and people I wanted to get to know better. Hosting dinner parties seemed like the perfect solution.
So, in 2004, I walked to the bookstore to look for a book that would tell me exactly how to plan and prepare a multicourse dinner party. Basically, I was looking for an instruction manual that would tell me exactly what to do and when. I knew I could follow directions. I just needed the directions.

Early returns say yes
Mike Pantelides — whose campaign slogan is Sweep Annapolis Clean — is sweeping Josh Cohen out of office, according to early election returns. With all but absentee ballots and one precinct counted in the Annapolis mayoral race, challenger Pantelides leads incumbent Cohen by 84 votes, 3,728 to 3,644.
At one point in counting, Pantelides' lead was only 20 votes.
"It's another manifestation of the anti-incumbent sentiment voters are feeling — and expressing — across the country," according to national political analyst Bill Lambrecht, Bay Weekly's editorial advisor and co-founder. "At this point you can't chalk it up to a Republican victory. It's sweep all the bums out."
In Annapolis, you can likely chalk up Pantelides' surge to Market House, City Dock and Crystal Spring. Those issues energized voters across party lines. Apparently, 84 more voters opposed than approved of the trend in development during Cohen's term.
City Council races were a different story. There, scanty voting reaffirmed the status quo. All eight aldermen and alderwomen were reelected. Only four of the eight races had competition. In those, vote margins between apparent winner and loser ranged from 51 in Ward 2 (Fred Paone 760, Kurt Riegel 709) to 201 in Ward 1 (Joe Budge 780, Alan Furth 579: Returns are still unofficial.
In Ward 6, Ken Kirby 317, Steven Conn: 260. And in Ward 7, Ian Pfieffer 433, James Clenny 269.
Elected in unopposed races were Ward 3's Rhonda Pindell Charles, 574; Ward 4's Sheila Finlayson, 277; Ward 5's Jared Littmann, 544; Ward 8's Ross Arnett, 993.
In the City Council, the sole Republican remains Fred Paone.

Jimquisition: The Beautiful Irony of PC Gaming
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT
Still, console gaming is cheaper. Not trying to undercut PC gaming and its apparent low standards for most popular games. However, even buying a decent rig, can sometimes cost a lot of money for someone who isn't used to shelling out $300+ dollars just so they can run something on mid to low quality. In that case, I rather just stick with the same console for eight years, then pay $120 dollars for the next console that holds my interest, or the next generation has come out.
Very thoughtful video, Jim. For once, I agree 100% with what you said.
Oh, well as long as you're not trying to undercut them...
I was expecting the "irony" of PC gaming would be that whenever someone complains about the graphics/visuals of a certain game being muddy or ugly, people will go off and say "Graphics don't make the game! I could play a game that's nothing but mud so long as it's fun!"
And then, whenever the topic of PC vs. Consoles comes up, the PC crowd almost always goes off saying how pathetic the console's are when it comes to hardware, how they all upscale their games, not true 1080p, how their RAM is so pitiful, how their PC games can run 100+ frames per second, etc....
Generally, that's the biggest irony/hypocrisy I find with PC gaming.
While those are valid arguements and I agree that not all of PC gaming is fixated on the new, shiney super-titles that come out today (the most recent game I have on my PC is The Sims 3) it is still a fairly significant thing and not exactly an arguement that can be easily side-stepped just by saying 'we have stuff that's just as good elsewhere'.
While it isn't nessercarily required of you to upgrade to a super-computer and keep it cutting edge just to play games in general, it would more than likely be fair enough to say that there is going to be a significant amount of cost and effort involved in being able to keep up with the latest releases (and to play them on the graphic settings that counter the arguement of 'why not just get the console version?').
Not all of the best PC games are the dazzling visual-obsessed spectacles that we are treated to today, but the same could be said for consoles too so this point doesn't really nullify or equalise any part of the 'PC vs. Console' debate (no matter what, the overall simplicity of a console will probably always remain unmatched, for the most part it's just plug in and play).
My PC has been my main focus for gaming in the last couple months.
My last 3 games I bought/played:
Dungeon Keeper 2 (Good memories that still hold up today, nostalgia be damned)
Also Witcher 1, but that doesn't follow the trend of the other games I listed...
I don't know... I bought the PS3 when the 80GB version came out and that cost me $699. Not sure what new console your buying that only cost $120 unless your getting it used or through some special retailer online.
While refreshing, I'm amazed that Jim didn't mention "that" pig-ugly success story. Anyway, nicesssssssss video this week.
One thing that bears mentioning (and that people keep forgetting) is that you don't need a massively overpowered machine to run new games at console-level graphics. People are always whining that PCs that can run the newest games at max settings cost so much more than a console, but that's a retarded argument - of course they do! And the game will look much better. However, if you wanted to run a game at the graphical level of a 360 or a PS3, you don't need to sacrifice your child to the dark gods. My 4 year old PC which was kinda crap when I bought it runs everything that comes out nowdays. It's got a GeForce 9500 and a plain 2.2GHz Dual Core processor and it runs Witcher 2, Crysis 2, Deus Ex:HR, Shogun 2, etc.
As an avid PC gamer myself, I'm glad to see these points made. Graphical power is one of the least important things about owning a gaming PC.
It's flexibility, availability, and control over games (when developers don't put laughable DRM on them) is what makes the PC great. People wonder if we'll ever see a universal console, but the PC already is one. I have reverse compatibility that goes back to the creation of videogames; that is a big deal. It's a console that greatly helps preserve the history of this medium.
That said, nothing wrong with console gaming. A majority of my purchases are still console based.
I love PC gaming because anyone can fucking do it. People who get games consoles almost certainly have computers as well. Why not use the money to buy a slightly better computer? Even that is likely to be unnecessary. My laptop cost about £500 (and it's only that expensive because I felt I needed a 17" screen) 2 years ago and it runs anything I want, though admittedly I never tried to run the Witcher 2 on it. I'm thinking about getting a new one now though I could probably keep going with this one for the next couple of years anyway.
Plus, unlike the 360, I can play Portal or Plants vs Zombies when I'm on a long train journey.
Wanna play L4D2 round at a mates house? I just take my laptop with me. Seriously, laptop gaming is by far the best.
I've recently come into PC gaming, and I can say for certain that (most) of Jim Sterling's points are spot on. My "gaming rig" is my laptop, and I've been able to play some pretty fun games on it so far, with a miniscule budget of zero no less. And really, the only way this has hindred my experience is that playing TF2 gets incredibly laggy at times.
On a laptop. If anyone out there complains about needing a powerful system to run their games right, just remember that I can play Team Fortress 2 on a laptop and only then does it give me problems. If you have a competant gaming machine that's not a laptop, you can have a fun time on the PC.
Lastly, I for one thank God for Jim Sterling. You wonderful, wonderful man.
Im not going to lie, i thought he was just going to lift everything from the handguard up and reveal a standard size ball point pen on the inside.
I couldn't disagree more. Sure, quite a few people do PC gaming for graphics. I do it because it is easier/possible to mod your games where as most consoles are difficult/impossible to mod because Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo don't like players doing that at all. I'm not saying all PC games are modded and that instantly makes them better. But I like having that option for custom levels. Custom skins. Custom challenges, and so on. That's also why I like Valve games so much because all the authoring tools are available for free for some rather fun community grade content. Stuff you can't get on any console.
Steam sales (going on Valve again) are also a highlight of PC gaming. No where other than steam would I have been able to get Arkham Asylum or KOTOR for $7.50 or less. (maybe Kotor now, but still).
Then take a look at Nintendo when it comes to Modifying Smash Bros and using the Homebrew Channel. Nintendo dislikes this so much (the latter part anyway), that they will update their Wii Menu just to delete that stuff. I don't appreciate Nintendo telling me what I can and can't do with my console after I paid money for it. It's mine and they can just deal with it.
That's my two cents on the issue. Graphics? Fuck em. I'm all about the mods.
I've always been a PC gamer, and though I will probably drop 700-800 on a high end computer for Skyrim... I could still keep using this one for a while and still play Skyrim on lower graphics and all the games I love.
Except no, because you have to actually buy a console. Pretty much everyone already has a computer. Including you I assume, unless you posted from your phone or something.
Writing with a chainsword. Now it all makes sense.
Jim... I love you.
That was brilliant.
Can't really add more then that.
Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to thank the God-Emperor this time around?
Good episode. I've been recommending services like Steam and GOG for years because of their libraries of older games that you can buy on the cheap, with next to no compatibility issues to boot. I play console games as well, but it can be inconvenient sometimes to drag an older system out of the closet just for nostalgia's sake.
By "old lucas arts games", KotOR? I've discovered that my year-old, 1.6ghz netbook can run it. HELLS YEAH!!!
I like PC gaming for certain types of games, and although graphics wise if you shell out for it you an probably get the best graphics on your pc (in comparison to a console), I love pc gaming for the modding community.
Well, Jim. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by your video. You have said and wrote so much BS about PC gaming that when I saw the title, I was a little bit afraid. But you actually made some good points this time. Good work.
Jim uses a lot of logical fallacies and very deceptive arguing, doesn't he? He's INCREDIBLY fond of straw men. I don't think anyone would say graphics are super important on PC exclusives, many of which he cited to construct his argument, but graphics are most certainly important when comparing the PC and console version of a multiplat. I'd like to see Jim do the same video, but using only multiplats to support his argument. Odds say his little thesis would fall flat on its face.
Graphics are one of the biggest reasons to play a multiplat on PC, which is something he totally and absolutely neglected. He used a straw man in the form of graphically unimpressive PC exclusives, aka where no one cares about graphics. He didn't refute the central point, however. Overall.... a pretty poor episode.
No it isn't. That's Serious Sam 3.
Serious sam 3
But HD release of Serious sam 1st 2nd is awesome.
I think you just missed the entire point of the video...
He said.
1. People tend to think of graphics when they think of pc gaming.
He never argued graphics were/werent "important". So wheres the fallacies?
How do you keep pulling me and and pleasantly surprising me with such great writing? Oh wait it's you.
Except yes, Console gaming is still cheaper.
People that have been posting, have said the have been paying 200 euro or more, just to get an upgrade. My Xbox 360 lasted me 4 years before I finally needed to 'upgrade' which even then only costed me $140 dollars at the local shop.
Also, not all computers are designed to run games. Mine is just a general purpose laptop.
I find it ironic that you were saying how PC gaming's biggest strength wasn't graphics while showing some fucking gorgeous games and kind of convincing me a little that it was.
It isn't, of course, but still. Eye-gasm.
I disagree, I will use S.T.A.L.K.E.R games as an example, sure they are great with the lowest settings ( the ones I play with *cries) but if you play with the highest settings or with a mod that makes the game look even better then the game becomes immersive and scary.
Yes there are awsome titles on PC that don't need graphics but good graphics create a feeling of immersion that can only be found on PC.
I would like to have that chainsword. I would carry it around everywhere.
You know what always has and always will appeal to me about PC gaming?
The simplest, most overlooked aspect: keyboard and mouse controls.
That's it.
Now granted, there are times when I go PC gaming for the exclusives, or because of Steam deals, or because my fat box of an SD TV has trouble making text readable with newer games (*cough*MassEffect2*cough*), but overall, it's just that I prefer certain games to have a keyboard and mouse control scheme.
Thank God for PC games that don't require a powerhouse to run (and also for Jim, of course). I'll be in Japan for the next year with only my sort-of-okay laptop to satisfy my gaming needs and missing a lot of the big console exclusives that would normally be taking the next few months of my time as a result (I still weep at the thought of waiting a year for Dark Souls). Grabbing a lot of weird, often inexpensive stuff off Steam and GOG has been a godsend for dealing with the situation. Having said that, though, I don't think I'll ever be primarily a PC gamer because most of the games I really get into don't come to PC and wouldn't be that great with a mouse and keyboard, anyway.
THANK YOU. I constantly hear people say they won't get the PC version of a game because they wouldn't be able to max it out, when even not maxed it would still probably look better than the console version. I absolutely don't understand the obsession with max graphics or nothing.
Also, I built a $1200 computer almost five years ago, have never upgraded, and it can still max out most new games as long as I turn the anti-aliasing down.
i really really hope he mispronounced recettear only to piss me off...
Not exactly maxing out then is it?

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - The commonwealth of Pennsylvania will sue the NCAA over the sanctions imposed on Penn State resulting from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Gov. Tom Corbett will announce Wednesday that he is filing a federal lawsuit against the NCAA for its sanctions against Penn State, according to a news release from the Governor's Office.
Corbett will hold an 11 a.m. EST news conference Wednesday in the Alumni Fireside Lounge of the Nittany Lion Inn.
The state is acting without the university in preparing the lawsuit. Penn State spokesman David La Torre told the Centre Daily Times that the university is not aware of the lawsuit.
University trustee Anthony Lubrano also said he didn't have much information on the lawsuit.
"If true, I'm glad that the governor has finally come to agree with my point of view that the NCAA had no authority to intervene in this matter," he said Tuesday. "I do wonder why it took him so long to come to that point of view."
The NCAA levied severe penalties on the university, including a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, a drop in the number of football scholarships the university can offer and the vacating of the football team's wins from 1998 to 2011. It's not been determined whether all the sanctions or portions of them are targeted in the suit.
Penn State in July accepted the sanctions and in December paid $12 million in penalties into an escrow account. University President Rodney Erickson accepted the sanctions claiming the alternative would be the "death penalty," so called because it would have completely closed down the football program for four years.
Erickson had said he was told of the NCAA's plans to levy a four-year football shutdown because of the role university leaders allegedly played in the hiding of accusations against Sandusky in 1998 and 2001.
State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Benner Township, announced last week that he plans to introduce legislation that would keep the NCAA's entire $60 million fine against Penn State in Pennsylvania. He also said he will file a lawsuit, seeking to prohibit the NCAA from releasing funds to any organization outside of Pennsylvania.
Corman, who attended the swearing-in ceremony for members of the state legislature Tuesday, did not return a call for comment.

Use appropriate response mechanisms. Paper forms have the disadvantage that users can miss, or simply disregard, an instruction. For example, only tick/check one box from a list of 15 or 20 options. In this context interactive forms can be programmed so that the user can only tick/check one (known as a radio button as distinct from check-boxes), or presented with the options in a drop-down menu from which the user can only select one.
Provide examples and guidance and notes at the point of need. Have you ever got half-way through a form and suddenly come to a question that asks you about something you do not understand or have no idea about where to find the answer? Its even more infuriating if the question says something like.

Winning keeps Washington in critics' sights
Despite his detractors, fellow managers have praise for Rangers skipper
ARLINGTON -- When Prince Fielder signed with the Rangers, he was asked about playing for Ron Washington.
"I'm excited about it," Fielder said. "I've heard a lot of great things."
Who hasn't? Almost everybody around baseball loves "Wash," the demonstrative and loquacious manager of the Rangers, a skipper with a big heart, generous smile, quick laugh and sympathetic ear. He backs his players, he "lets them play," and they play hard for him. Washington's ability to get his players to put forth maximum effort game after game is considered his best asset as a manager.
To some, it may be his only asset.
Despite entering his eighth year as Rangers manager with four straight seasons of 90-plus wins and two trips to the World Series in 2010-11, Washington does not enjoy a public reputation for being a brilliant game manager or master tactician. He is better known as a "player's manager" and not a strategic genius who can outmaneuver the guy in the opposing dugout.
Instead, it is sometimes the reverse. Washington is often scorned for the moves he makes, and running a game has been referred to as his weakest asset amid less charitable assessments.
It is not an opinion shared by many of his peers.
"My opinion is shared by a lot of people in the game, because we talk among ourselves," former White Sox, A's and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Ron is outstanding. He is a very solid game manager. There's no surprise they went to two World Series. You don't do that and go to the seventh game of the World Series -- they easily could have won that -- unless he has a real good idea of what he's doing.
"It would be one thing if they had been struggling, but they've won two American League championships. You've got to be good if you put your club in position to do that. You can't overcome a bad manager. You might be able to do it occasionally, but they couldn't overcome a bad manager to do what they have done. He's done a great job."
La Russa will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer, along with fellow managers Bobby Cox and Joe Torre. Cox has an all-time winning percentage of .556, while Torre is at .538 and La Russa at .536. Washington has a .538 winning percentage over seven years.
The Rangers were 154-170 in Washington's first two seasons while general manager Jon Daniels launched the youth movement/rebuilding program. Since the beginning of 2009, the Rangers are 457-354. Only the Yankees have won more games or have a better winning percentage in that stretch. The Rangers just don't have the World Series title.
"Ron brings exactly what that team needs," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Tactically, he is on top of it, there's not anything out there that's going to catch him by surprise. He's alert and he's on top of things. You can tell it means a lot to him. He's done a great job for what they need there. Ron's guys are always going to be as good as they are capable of being."

|Clint Hurdle
Despite the Rangers' success, Washington has yet to be voted AL Manager of the Year. But he has been given three bench coaches, three pitching coaches, four third-base coaches and five hitting coaches in his time as Rangers manager.
Daniels, often and rightfully listed as one of the best general managers in the game, was recognized as Executive of the Year in 2010, added the title of president of baseball operations last year, and has been surrounded with most of the same cadre of advisers since he first took the job.
Daniels has been lauded for his moves this winter, and one Internet analysis dubbed him as one of the "winners" of the offseason although still taking him to task for his attachment to the "strategic disaster" of a manager.
"It certainly doesn't bother me," Washington said. "I look at it two ways. If they are right in their criticism, I try to get better. If they are wrong in their criticism, I just ignore it. I think every year I've managed I've progressed and gotten better.
"The first year I was a novice, but after eight years, I've gotten better. I'm just like a player. They allow players to get better; I guess I'm not allowed to get better. But I think I'm much better than I was in 2007, and I'm continuing to get better."
Remember what historian Bill James wrote in his guide to managers: "The average fan has a one-dimensional image of a manager. He's good or he's bad. If he's real good, he's a genius. If he's real bad, he's an idiot."
Washington is a product of a traditional baseball background, schooled at the Royals Baseball Academy and raised through the Dodgers' farm system. He has 44 years of baseball knowledge, and uses it to bring a distinctive style of play to the Rangers.
His stamp is all over the team. There has been the obvious emphasis on pitching promoted throughout the organization, but Washington has also relentlessly hammered the need to play solid fundamental defense, execute situational offensive baseball and run the bases aggressively.
His message has not varied in eight years: "Execute the fundamentals and play the game the way it's presented."
Washington manages that way, which may be why, with all the Rangers' offensive firepower, they still have the second-most sacrifice bunts in the AL over the past four years. He also is not afraid to call for the suicide squeeze, which looks brilliant when it works, but not so smart when the hitter fails to get down the bunt.
The conviction in the sacrifice as a weapon led to a comeback win over the Blue Jays in 2011, when the Rangers bunted three straight times in the ninth, including a suicide squeeze that brought home the tying run. It also contributed to a frustrating, much-criticized loss to the Royals in 2012, when Elvis Andrus couldn't get down a ninth-inning squeeze and the go-ahead run was tagged out in a rundown.
"There are a lot of different things that come into play," former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "But Wash is great communicator. He does a tremendous job. He's gotten criticized. But you know what? So has Jim Leyland. So has Tony La Russa. All those guys have been criticized. Hey, look, if your critics don't like you, they're going to look for anything. They're not held accountable, so they can say whatever they want to say. But when it comes down to it, success is what tells the story."
Then there is the aggressive baserunning, which Washington is adamant about being a part of the Rangers game. According to FanGraphs, the Rangers' baserunning was worth 36.5 wins over average in 2010-11, second most in the league. It fell to a combined two wins over average the past two years, as the glaring baserunning blunders became magnified and the Rangers' aggressiveness became a prime topic of conversation.
Forgotten was how the Rangers scored three runners from second base without the ball leaving the infield in the clinching Game 5 of the 2010 AL Division Series against the Rays, or Ian Kinsler's crucial stolen base followed by Andrus taking an extra bag on a single in a two-run ninth in Game 2 of the 2011 World Series.
"His style is an aggressive style," Leyland said. "He's very smart. He's very bright. He's not afraid to take a chance. If his club's struggling to score runs, he's not afraid to manufacture some offense. I think that's a part of having your team prepared. You know going in they're going to push, so you try to prepare your team for that. But Ron's smart. He's not afraid to generate something. He's got it figured out."
There are those, though, who are convinced that Washington has figured out nothing when it comes to managing a pitching staff, especially the bullpen. The Rangers blowing a pair of two-run leads late in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series certainly did nothing to change this perception, and handling his staff has been a targeted area of emphasis for his detractors.
But despite whatever perceived mistakes Washington has made, Rangers relievers have more wins and the second-highest winning percentage of any bullpen in the AL over the past four years. They also are fourth in save percentage and bullpen ERA.
Still, maybe the Rangers do win more because of the work of the front office and in spite of the moves made by the manager. But Washington's acknowledged ability to handle his players may at least have something to do with the Rangers' success, because Hall of Fame executive Pat Gillick, one of the best general managers ever, is among those who believe that part is crucial for any manager.
"For me, the most important thing is running a good clubhouse," Gillick said. "The X's and the O's -- you sit up in the stands and, for the most part, a lot of fans go to the game and they know what's going to happen. You're going to hit and run, steal, put a pitcher in, take a pitcher out.
"I think it's just like business. You want to come to work and feel like you're fulfilled. You want to come to work and know what to expect when you walk in. You don't want to come into a workplace that's continually in upheaval ... and you lose your focus. Keeping control and keeping the players happy in the clubhouse, I think, is really important."
That part is hard to judge from the outside. But as far as strategy, criticizing and second-guessing managers has become a popular cottage industry in the internet-driven media, and there wasn't a playoff manager who was spared last October.
"If you're managing, you're going to get second-guessed," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "I saw it last year after we were out. I mean, I saw it when it was me, but watching the Cardinals and Boston, it was always, 'The other guy did something wrong, he should have done this or that.' Really? In a way, it's good to know that's just part of it and not take it personally. You might as well accept it right from the start."
"If you go back and look at the history of the game, there are some great managers, who won a lot of championships, who would be scrutinized now," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "You have to make choices and you hope they work out, but there are many more things when you go back and examine every game that factor into whether you win or lose. There are defining moments, but in reality, there are many more than what gets noticed."
Hall of Famer Earl Weaver led the Orioles to five division titles, three AL pennants and one World Series from 1969-74. Yet early in the 1975 season, a Baltimore columnist decided it was time to fire Weaver, pointing out, "The last few years, the manager has mishandled, misused, misarranged, misconceived, misapplied and misbehaved, only to have the players save his bacon with a couple of stretch drives to the division flag."
So it appears Washington is in good company. But it may also be true that managers who continually put their teams in position to play in big games and in the postseason are the ones who will receive the most scrutiny and the most criticism.
Maybe that's Washington's problem. He just keeps winning, putting his team on a platform that invites widespread review of his work.
