This review first appeared on Rosie Amber Reviews July 18, 2021. You can purchase A Flight in the Heavens (The Theurgy of the Gods Book 1) here.
If there is one thing to say about Gabrielle Gagné-Cyr's freshman effort, it is an impressive stack of pages. Buckle your swashes ladies and gents because A Flight in the Heavens is 400+ pages of fantasy adventure, full of the colorful cast and exotic locals one would hope to find in a book primarily centered on a flying pirate ship.
Unfortunately for this reader, the over 400 page factor is where Flight falls flat. Gagné-Cyr has woven a fascinating world from a tapestry of both well-loved science fiction tropes and more modern creations. There's a distinctly Pokémon-ish feel to this hunt for gods, the badass lady captain with a mech-arm and an impressive war machine under her command is strongly reminiscent of Charlize Theron's Furiosa in the latest Mad Max installment, and one of the hunted gods reads as patterned on the Great Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke. All three of these are properties I have enormous personal attachment to, and yet all of that promise gets dragged under by the weight of the prose. Where one sentence would convey the meaning desired and deliver a sharper impact, Flight tends to give readers three sentences that are often confused by awkward vocabulary choice.
I read the following pair of sentences twice before I was comfortable with the meaning, and even now the way myriad is used here makes the philologist living in my heart twitch:
"Humans were bound to have come here before. In conjunction with their gods, they had built the deities' shrines a myriad of eras before." (A Flight in the Heavens, page 110)
That said, I largely picked up Flight because it came with the warning that there was an LGBTQ+ romance involved and your girl got curious. You don't see that much in science fiction, at least not from your main characters, so I was interested to see how well that portion of the narrative was handled, and I'm happy to report that it was handled well.
Our two female leads tend to stare and sigh over each other in the back third of the novel, and there's some awkwardness with a boy being in love with one of them for most of the book without realizing she plays for the other team, but the romantic thread itself is handled with as much grace as the afore-mentioned writing style allows. There's some shaming and eventual fridging of the resident slut that I'm not wild about, but the leading lesbians are strongly drawn and their attraction to each other is relatively believable.
All in all, I stand by my opening statement. The completion of over 400 pages of anything is an impressive accomplishment, and one that should be celebrated. The fact that a sequel is not only planned, but apparently well on its way, should also be applauded as an impressive accomplishment from a new author.
Unfortunately for me, the clunky prose meant that it didn't quite soar.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. (Game Review by George Brumwell)
Our friend George Brumwell has been wanting to write an Alt:Mag post for a while, so here it is! Thanks for submitting this review of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS! If you want to submit a guest review to Alt:Mag just drop us a line via our Facebook page or our Twitter page!
The Nintendo 3DS system has seen a lot of love in 2013, with fantastic games on the market releasing in Spring, particularly Fire Emblem: Awakening, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, in addition to some highly anticipated titles for Fall 2013 and going into 2014, with Pokémon X/Y and Super Smash Bros being special mentions. This year has also been very special in a sentimental sense for Nintendo, in that it is the "Year of Luigi," celebrating the 30th birthday of Mario's younger brother. Since I actually like Luigi better out of the Bros (not saying I don't like Mario, he's awesome too), mainly due to him being the younger sibling, very much like I am, it's nice to see him get some love and attention in games recently. Three titles dedicated to this celebration have been released, first the surprise sequel to Luigi's Mansion, Dark Moon (known as Luigi's Mansion 2 in Europe), and a standalone semi-sequel/DLC for Super Mario Bros Wii U, New Super Luigi U, both of which feature Green Stache as the protagonist. And finally, to score him a hat trick, we have the new entry in the Mario and Luigi RPG series, with Dream Team Bros. In my opinion, it's about time Luigi was shown some love.
The game itself plays out like the other entries, particularly with the unique art style and gameplay throughout the series, replicated for the 3D system in a way that doesn't feel cheap. Another key part of the series was its humour, which there is by no means a shortage of here, if not moreso than other entries, especially with some quite inappropriate uses of the word "beef," but all in good taste of course.
The story is also a strong component with Dream Team Bros, and like the other games in the series, it aims for silly, and strikes gold as a result. It's easy to follow, and is equally charming, cheesy and nonsensical, but not in a way that would lessen the experience. To try and keep this as spoiler free as possible, I'll explain the premise so a rough idea of where the game leads can be had. It begins with Princess Peach, Toadsworth and other denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom being invited to the tourist resort of Pi'illo Island by Dr Snoozemore, who is studying the wonders of sleep (there are puns and wordplays aplenty throughout the game, so be warned). Of course, Mario and Luigi come along too as well as Star Sprite Starlow, who was introduced in the previous RPG Bowser's Inside Story. Cue the usual tutorials, with Mario and Luigi stumbling upon a stone pillow, which turns out to open a portal into Luigi's dream upon him sleeping on it (turns out it's an ability almost unique to him), and as you might guess, a sinister force kidnaps Peach and drags her through, with Mario giving chase. Does she do anything besides getting kidnapped?
Anyways, moving on from there lies a decent story about the classic battle between good and evil, dreams and nightmares, and recurring themes of friendship, in addition to an emphasis of desire for greater things, explicitly from the returning Bowser (wouldn't be a Mario game without the King of the Koopas), but implicitly with Luigi, with a very dark yet subtle undertone that is unfortunately not touched upon that much. It is hinted at some point that Luigi's greatest fear comes from living in his brother's shadow for so long, and that he believes that his brother would abandon him. It can be argued that Luigi's resolve in this adventure shows that he is not spiteful of his brother's fame, but wants to prove that he is equally capable of great feats.
A regular villain to the Mario and Luigi series, the Beanish Fawful, is sadly absent from this adventure, presumed dead after the finale of the previous title, Bowser's Inside Story. His manner and his "Engrish" skills (I HAVE FURY!!!) were a solid component to the humour, and it is slightly lessened in this game as a result. However, the lovable Starlow from the last entry makes a welcome return, in addition to the border lying French stereotypes that are the Brocks. A new protagonist on the scene, and quickly my favourite character, is the leader of the Pi'illos, Prince Dreambert. He's regal without being snobby or condescending, and is the go-to for learning the mechanics of the Dream World. The new Big Bad is also a favourite of mine; Antasma the bat king, mainly due to him being a huge yet subtle parody and tribute of Count Dracula (his Japanese name is even a play on the word Dracula, whilst other localisations refer to him as count rather than king). The script even has occasional flourishes of genius, mainly when it is self-mocking, either of the Mario universe, or on a larger scale, Nintendo itself. Also expect a lot of talk about the heroes' moustaches.
In response to the game play mechanics, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. The Mario and Luigi series play out initially like any other JRPG on the market, but with a refreshing twist in the sense that your attacks have to be timed with a well-executed button press for maximum damage, as well as to dodge enemy fire. This formula has always been intriguing throughout the 4 games because you can't play through the game treating it as a run of the mill RPG (without wasting a lot of time and dying a lot of course).
The game is split into 2 worlds- the over world of Pi'illo Island, and the side scrolling madness of the Dream World. The latter involves different mechanics to the other world, and Mario becomes reliant on Luigi's dream self (a more handsome version), Dreamy Luigi, to solve puzzles and traverse obstacles in order to advance. The combat even works differently in the Dream World, with Mario fighting alone, but seemingly fuses with Luigi and gains higher stats and more powerful attacks. Some critics have argued that because the Dream World is so vibrantly coloured and unique, it makes the over world seem boring after a while. Although I can see their point, I am inclined to disagree on the grounds that the island itself is still varied and pretty to boot. I personally feel that both worlds are equally amazing, but in different senses.
The special "Bros Attacks" are just as silly as the rest of the game, and are unique to Mario and Luigi. Examples include kicking shells into enemies' faces, catapulting their bodies into the foe, and making Luigi frantically paddle a jet board, as Mario stands poised with hammer at the ready. In the Dream World, Mario gains a new form of attack, Luiginary Attacks. These moves are even more ridiculous than Bros Attacks, since all of which involve Mario attacking with an army of Luigis in different ways, including a giant bowling ball, a hammer, or even a Luigi Tornado. A particular high point of the special abilities is how it makes you tilt and aim the 3DS, giving the silliness a sense of realism. There is also a new form of combat in the shape of Giant Luigi battles, which invite you in a Godzilla-esque tussle between a massive Luigi and an assortment of monstrosities. This shows just how charming and silly the game is, and how many notes it hits with its appeal.
Speaking of which, there are many people that would be interested in this title; obviously there are fans of Mario in general, and also those interested in an RPG game with a lot of depth. The story itself takes more than 30 hours just to get near the end, and there are side quests, collectibles, the opportunity to fight a boss on a harder difficulty for coins, and an accessible hard mode upon completion, meaning that you'll be coming back for more. In addition, you can unlock Jukebox mode, which lets you sit back and listen to the soundtrack composed by the amazing Yoko Shimomura of Kingdom Hearts fame.
The main gripe I had with playing this game, and it isn't even much, is in how unfair the game can be sometimes, but even then it's quite a subjective thought. While some objectives are thrown in your face as to where to go, a small number of missions left me in a slight annoyance, mainly due to how little information was given and once you have figured it out, finding the pathway proves even more difficult. However, once these were completed, I just felt compelled to carry on. Also, some of the boss battles in the game are quite harsh in terms of difficulty at particular parts; it is technically a kids' game after all; mainly involving very hard hitting attacks that are almost impossible to dodge or counter.
To conclude, this game is an easy buy for your 3DS and adds to the increasing number of amazing games from 2013, with X and Y poised to add to that list this fall. Its highest points include its irreverent and self-mocking humour, solid and unique combat that always feels fresh, and an amazing soundtrack. Its very few low points include the occasional difficulty spike, either combat or in puzzle solving, and the rather sluggish tutorial. However, it is refreshing to see the continuation of one of the best Mario variation series, and to see Luigi finally get his moment in the spotlight.

When life sucks, add some whimsy
August 29, 2018 August 29, 2018 raphaela99Leave a comment
Definition of whimsy on http://www.vocabulary.com
We have a new Prime Minister in Australia. It is truly embarrassing. I was at a class when I received the breaking news on my phone, and announced to everyone that Peter Morrison had landed the top job! I had been under the mistaken belief that Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton were interchangeable. Perhaps, I was mislead in thinking that it was a shared role? With life feeling heavy, grey and frankly, ludicrous, it was time to escalate the whimsy factor.
I found some elf ears, much to my delight, and proceeded to wear them on public transport. Now, if you are a Sydney person, and have taken trains the past couple of weekends, you will know what a shambles it has been. Trips that would usually take 40 minutes were suddenly taking four hours, and that is if your train was running at all. Solution, elf ears! When I put these on, everyone started smiling, if not laughing. Conversations were started, and whimsy ruled supreme. There were even people stopped in heavy traffic gawping, as I waited for a bus.
That's the thing about whimsy, it takes us out of our every day ho-hum lives. It is surprising, startling and without ego. It contains humour and frivolity, with no goal in sight, other than to delight. I was amazed at how a pair of elf ears could pick up the energy in a dreary space with tired and annoyed passengers.
Here are some other recent whimsical episodes of note:
We had a rainbow lorikeet feasting on jam left at our table and attended a mad hatter's high tea at the Westin, Sydney. We fell in love with greenery draped over light fittings and up the walls at a bistro, and we ran through a water feature.
We admired the meticulous costumes of Cos Play characters on their way to some marvellous expo, and congratulated the raucous Kiwi's on winning the Rugby. We listened to melodic buskers strumming their guitars and danced in the streets of Sydney. We were at the Body Shop, and nearly jumped out of our skin's when one of the sales people let out a shrill scream. She jovially explained it was, in fact, a hiccup, and that it always alarmed people. She continued screaming, every minute or so, the poor darling.
I bought a solitary violet cream chocolate from Haigh's, after unknowingly jumping the queue (which snaked out the door). I was mortified upon turning around and seeing the people patiently waiting, and was greeted with bemused smiles, bless them! I watched my daughter soar through the sky on an outside trapeze. Why did she want to partake of this class? It was to feel the sensation of flying; the sensation of being free of all incumbencies.
These are the moments we live for. The moments of unexpected beauty, the sublime and the ridiculous. If a pair of elf ears can make a carriage full of irate passengers smile, I may have to add an entire elf outfit to my repertoire. Life isn't meant to be a series of annoyances and trials. The harder life gets, the more whimsy must be added. Whether that be in the form of a coffee mug or some novelty to make everyone smile. The moments of whimsy make life worth living.

Happy 12th Birthday!

It's Time for the Halloween Series to Stop Ignoring Its Shitty Sequels
Let's hope this is the last time the series has to be brought back to life
by Dan Caffrey
on September 16, 2017, 4:00am
Just yesterday, John Carpenter announced that next year's Halloween film would feature none other than Jamie Lee Curtis, the star of the original. After picking up their collective jaw from the floor, fans of the franchise rejoiced. Curtis' Laurie Strode is one of the most iconic horror protagonists of all time, and it's almost universally agreed upon that offing her in the opening scene of 2002's Halloween: Resurrection was a mistake (though, to be fair, that's the least of that movie's problems). The question, though, is how will her character come back? There are a few different ways it could go:
– Least likely: Writers Danny McBride and David Gordon Green begrudgingly take a note from Rob Zombie, who brought back the dead mother of the series' antagonist, Michael Myers, in the sequel to his own remake of Halloween. Does Curtis reprise her role to torment her big brother as an older ghost version of Laurie or possibly serve as his spiritual guide?
– More likely (though not by much): The surviving characters of the franchise (perhaps Laurie's son, John) imagine what Laurie's life may have been like if she hadn't been unceremoniously stabbed and thrown off a rooftop by Michael.
– Even more likely (only slightly): We discover that Laurie actually isn't dead, but somehow survived, faked her death, and yet again went into hiding after Resurrection.
– Most likely: The new film disregards everything that came after the original Halloween II and possibly even the original Halloween.
That final option is obviously the most appealing to fans. The Halloween series is notorious for its convoluted timeline. After six films — one of which wasn't even about Michael Myers — Halloween H20: 20 Years Later did an about-face retcon, pretending that sequels Halloween 4, 5, and 6 never happened. By ignoring the confounding bloodline elements of the series (which involved an ancient Druid curse and a cult seeking to control Michael), they were free to bring back their original protagonist to (seemingly) defeat her arch nemesis once and for all.
But Resurrection undid Laurie's glorious return when the film killed her off, leaving a group of horn-dog college students and Busta Rhymes as the last defenses against Michael. The film was and still is unanimously and justifiably hated, so much that Zombie was permitted to remake the whole shebang in 2007, only further bungling the series' multiple timelines. If all of this sounds confusing, that's because it is. To better explain it, here's a handy-dandy spreadsheet drafted up by my colleague and fellow Halloweenhead, Justin Gerber. It lays out the varying narratives and where they could go from here with McBride and Green's upcoming film.
So yeah, snuffing out the majority of these sequels like the candle of a jack-o'-lantern seems to be the surest way for capturing the streamlined, quiet menace of Carpenter's original film. Consequence of Sound Editor-in-Chief Michael Roffman even laid out how this could go in his Producer's Chair feature two years ago. Given that McBride has confirmed that his and Green's screenplay will be a continuation, not a remake, they're likely following a similar approach to the one described by Roffman in his article. It's the smart choice. It's the choice that will result in the best movie.
But it's also total fucking bullshit.
Now, before we continue, let me be clear: In no way am I hoping that McBride and Green create a direct sequel to Resurrection. If we want a good Halloween movie, I recognize that the best and perhaps only way to do it is to make like Laurie at the end of H20 and sever the franchise's history at the neck. In the bureaucracy of modern-day Hollywood, sometimes the only way to salvage a series is to give it a (relatively) fresh start.
But I'm also a firm believer in creative accountability. And a tiny, little sheriff in my head (one that looks like Charles Cyphers, perhaps?) believes that if you make your bed, you damn well better lie in it. Carpenter and Curtis already retconned the lesser Halloween films with H20, and now they're most likely about to retcon that film as well. Granted, neither of them are the writer or director of this new Halloween, but they both played a significant role in taking back the franchise in the late '90s — a move that split the Halloween universe and ignited the soon to be repeated practice of separate timelines. Curtis got the conversation going by wondering what Laurie Strode would be up to 20 years later, and Carpenter was even slated to direct the film until walking away after a financial dispute with series financier Moustapha Akkad.
That's not to blame any of this solely on Carpenter, as he didn't end up directing H20 or Resurrection, nor is he directing the upcoming movie. Plus, it takes an army to bring a film to fruition. I just wish said army would feel some kind of intense ethical obligation to acknowledge the narrative of the entire Halloween canon, warts and all. For Curtis to star in a horror sequel that ignores most of the films that came before it, then star in another sequel that ignores the two films that came before it — it all just feels like a bit of a cop out. At what point does the snake stop eating its own tail? At what point does someone step in and say, "Fuck it. We made this mess, so let's clean it up in a way that doesn't involve just sweeping it under the rug. Let's acknowledge this shit-show exists and actually fix it."
Because ignoring it is what got us here in the first place. When H20 came out, it was a moment of rejoicing for Halloween fans. But when its sequel sucked, Dimension Films, Trancas International, and The Weinstein Company just decided to toss it aside and move forward with Zombie's reboot. And why not? They had pushed reset once already. And when Zombie's films left a sour legacy, they had no problem doing the same thing again. And again. And again.
Even if the new Halloween is fantastic (and given the details so far, we have every right to believe that it will be), what happens when it gets its own inevitably shitty sequels? Do we just ignore those and make another brand-new sequel to the original film starring Jamie Lee Curtis? This is a horror series, goddamnit. Where are the stakes in Michael Myers stalking a protagonist who the producers can resurrect whenever the hell they want?
Having to follow the H20/Resurrection timeline could even be a boon for the series. If Lars Von Trier and Jørgen Leth's The Five Obstructions has taught us anything, it's that creative challenges or parameters often results in greatness. This can apply even to a horror franchise. Look, I get that this entire article is largely meaningless because, at the end of the day, a studio wants a film to make money. And when considering the minor Carpenter renaissance we're in right now with his elder statesman status and flourishing music career, a back-to-basics approach is what's going to make money, plain and simple. I get that.
But let's pretend money, or even fan service, wasn't the bottom line. Let's pretend for a moment that the filmmakers aren't confined by the creative shackles of the entertainment industry or the expectations of fanboys like myself. Instead, let's make the restrictions all about the art. Let's pretend that Von Trier managed to conquer his fear of flying, take a private jet to the Halloween set, and order McBride and Green to adopt his Five Obstructions experiment. Let's pretend the filmmakers had to not only acknowledge H20 and Resurrection, but also the maligned bloodline sequels that came before them. What would the final product look like?
The closest thing I can think of is a comic series started by Stefan Hutchinson in 2003. In his run of Halloween comics, he follows the H20 timeline, even turning some of the shittier moments of Resurrection (including Laurie's doomed incarceration at a sanitarium) into something horrifying and beautiful. Hutchinson has gone on record saying he's never been a fan of Laurie and Michael being brother and sister. Yet, he still acknowledges their connection in his comic because, hey, that's just the way it is. He came into an already-existing story, and as a writer, it's his job to honor it.
Hutchinson even takes his fidelity to the source material one step further by starting to weave in story elements from Halloween parts 4, 5, and 6, even though the franchise's cinematic universe had written them off by that point. In Hutchinson's world, the adult Tommy Doyle (the little boy Laurie babysits in the original film) is a comic book artist. We only get a glimpse of it, but some of his drawings center on Michael Myers and the Mark of Thorn — an integral story point from 5 and 6. The next planned arc of Hutchinson's Halloween series was titled The Mark of Thorn and likely would have connected all of the films by having the bloodline sequels not be real events, but comics written by Tommy. Unfortunately, Hutchinson's series got canceled before The Mark of Thorn got published.
Is that a seamless dovetailing of the two conflicting timelines? It's hard to say without reading The Mark of Thorn, but there likely would have been some flaws. There likely would have been some clunkiness. But the concept alone shows creativity. It shows a writer respecting the lore of the past while also paving the way for something fresh and exciting. That's more than I can say for the film series, which, over the years, has repeatedly ignored that former goal in hopes of accomplishing the latter. I'll definitely be at the midnight showing of the latest Halloween film when hits theaters next October. I'll probably enjoy the hell out of it. But I'll also be hoping that it's the last time the series has to be brought back to life.

Denmark ratifies Hong Kong Ship Recycling Convention. But what is next?
29/01/2018 31/01/2018 by admin
2017 gives the pace: Recycle to Roll.
First, we had the EU list – with all the concerns it bore (see more at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ship-recycling-breaking-news-listing-thoughts-stefanos-i-magoulas-1) – but it is out for use.
Furthermore, in March, five EU-approved SR yards established the European Ship Recyclers group (ESR), joining hands for a more promising future. These yards are all EU-approved and are located all around. Port of Bordeaux (FR) and DDR (ES) represent Mediterranean, Galloo (BE) and Scheepssloperij (NE) are in the Northwest and Smedegarden (DEN) give the North Sea element.
Somedays ago, EMSA gave us another, very important guide on Inventory of Hazardous Materials, importance of which was also pointed very efficiently also by esteemed individuals of the sector (see http://www.green4sea.com/inventory-of-hazardous-materials-current-status-best-practice/).
Finally, two more countries, first Turkey and then Denmark, ratified Honk Kong Ship Recycling Convention. This brought following figures:
Countries having ratified HKC
States having ratified Status: 7/15
World Merchant Fleet Representation: 24.98/40%
States having ratified Shipping Tonnage: 258.91
These facts also hide some more aspects. Among the states having ratified HKC, one can find three EU-approved ship recyclers (France, Belgium, Denmark), one major recycler (Turkey), the most busy flag worldwide (Panama), an important host of oil rigs and platforms, with strict and precise environmental protection legislative frame (Norway) and the host of the most disapproved ship owner by NGOs aka MAERSK (Denmark).
To the above, add two hidden hints.
First, there is a lot of fuss around Oil rig & Platforms demolition. Within previous months, we had Transocean Winner led to Turkey – through an adventurous route – to die, at a Turkish yard, in Aliaga (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/may/02/where-oil-rigs-go-to-die) and Brent Delta led to Tees Road, Hartlepool, for final disposal, at ABLE UK (http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/world-s-heaviest-cargo-load-arrives-in-hartlepool-1-8523504). This could trigger the circle of offshore installations decom, a feast for ship recycling yards and waste management companies.
Secondly, Democratic's People Republic of Korea ratifies IMO's Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, which has already entered into force, bringing the total number of States to accede to the treaty to 35, according to IMO. Irrelevant, you could think. I disagree, I would say, simply asking one mere question: once you have it afloat, think where it should go.
But, all above are facts. The message is clear: make it right, don't mess around.
Should a flag like China – which is also an important recycler – or Greece – which a major ship owner and a very eligible recycler (see https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ship-recycling-med-sea-scrapping-ships-building-stefanos-i-magoulas) – ratify HKC, things would be even clearer, from all aspects. Ship owners would undertake responsibility to make proper moves, when it comes to recycling of their ships. Business could pick up, in a more promising beat.
However, once again, these are just thoughts. 2017 is moving towards its second quarter, with ships being scrapped and developments, at all levels. Let's hope that, in the end, we could all celebrate forecoming of the much anticipated 2018, which has been said that it will bring bullish messages for Maritime business.

Als Stottern wird eine Funktionsstörung bei Ottomotoren bezeichnet, bei der der Motor ungleichmäßig läuft, das heißt, wenn die Motorleistung und damit die Drehzahl beim warmen Motor immer wieder kurzzeitig einbrechen. Die Folge ist, dass der Motor "nicht rund läuft". In Abhängigkeit von der abgerufenen Leistung kann der Motor auch ausgehen.

Ursachen können Störungen in der Kraftstoffzuführung, der Zündung oder der Elektronik (zum Beispiel Geber für den oberen Totpunkt) sein. Auch zähes Öl bei einem Kaltstart kann als Ursache in Frage kommen. Die einzelnen Ursachen sind teilweise gehäuft bei bestimmten Fahrzeugmarken und -typen zu beobachten.

Der "stotternde Motor" wird häufig als sinnbildlicher Vergleich bei Problemen in der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung eines Landes oder eines Unternehmens verwendet.

TIGERS THROW IN THE TOWEL
by Mitch Albom | Aug 1, 1996 | Detroit Free Press | 0 comments
Well, that was a nice, big, fat towel the Tigers just threw in.
Cecil Fielder to the Yankees? There goes the last piece of the portfolio. There goes the last blue chip stock. Detroit has officially become the carcass of professional baseball, ready to be picked for the right cost-cutting measures. I guess the people running the team feel it can't get any worse, why not take all the hits now?
So there goes Cecil, emerging from Buddy Bell's office with his fist high and a smile. I'm outta here! Whoo-hah! Tell me something. If your players react that way when they get traded, what do you expect your fans to do?
"I can't say anything bad about Detroit," said Fielder, who somehow kept himself from bursting into "New York, New York" until he was out of earshot. This is a great move for him. He finally gets what he always wanted, after years of playing backup in Toronto, a year of playing stranger in Japan, years of playing for an also-ran in Detroit.
Now he gets to play for a winner — a World Series hopeful this season. And he gets a huge spotlight at Yankee Stadium. The new Bronx Bomber? Cecil stretching the limits of pinstripes? Whoa. They'll eat it up in New York.
Funny, isn't it? In the past four weeks, Detroit has sent its most promising basketball shooter and its only baseball attraction to the Big Apple.
Don't expect a thank-you note.
What do we get in return? Well, in the case of Allan Houston, nothing. And in this latest case of Fielder, we get somebody's else's headache, Ruben Sierra. If you haven't followed this guy's career, let me tell you the words that most often pop up: 1) Showboat. 2) Disappointment. 3) Disgruntled. 4) Traded.
Try to contain your excitement. Why watch this team?
Yes, Sierra can hit home runs — although nowhere near what Fielder can hit — and yes, there is a minor-league pitcher involved, Matt Drews, whoever he is. If this strikes you as a great move for Cecil, a fine move for the Yankees and a "What's going on here?" move for the Tigers, well, join the club. You can understand Detroit unloading Fielder's fat salary in exchange for a future. But Sierra is 30. I don't see him changing his pattern. Maybe Drews turns into a great pitcher. He has a fastball, they say. Fine.
But we're talking one of the premier home run hitters in the game. This is the best the Tigers could get?
Maybe it is. And maybe they are so desperate to stop the hemorrhaging of money at Michigan and Trumbull that saving even $4 million over the next two years — the difference in Fielder's salary versus Sierra's — is worth it to them.
But they have to know they have killed the goose. People go to baseball games to watch home runs. However few were showing up at Tiger Stadium these days, you can bet most of them would answer the question of "What are you doing here?" with the response "Maybe Cecil will hit one out tonight."
Forget that now. The Tigers are looking toward the future. That is what they will say. But remember that just saying it doesn't mean you know how to do it.
They were looking to the future with Chris Pittaro, too. They're long gone
A few months ago, I ran into Fielder at a local restaurant. He had been eating out most nights, because his wife and kids were down in Florida, in the massive mansion he had purchased with the money Detroit gave him to play baseball here.
"Man, it's terrible down at the park," he told me. Cecil had a way of smiling as he moaned, and you never minded it much. But he was truly unhappy. That much was obvious.
"I don't even like going to work, man," he said. "I get down there and it's like, I can't wait until it's over.'
"What are they doing here, Mitch? What are they doing here?"
He's asking me?
I can tell you this much. They are not thinning ranks. They are thinning payroll. They are downsizing, as it were — only in corporate business, you downsize to get leaner and stronger, to pass your slow, fat competitors. The Tigers are getting leaner and weaker, and the idea of passing competitors seems about as likely in Detroit this summer as hosting an Olympics.
There goes the last star. You know this is about business. All of sports is. But it seems lately, the business moves have been leaving Detroit fans empty. Chris Spielman takes off. Allan Houston takes off. Juwan Howard won't come here. Cecil Fielder takes off.
Is it our breath?
Or is it simply the reality of sports — that players say, "I need to take care of my family" and demand a fortune, then say, "I need to play for a winner," and demand to be traded. I am happy that Fielder gets his dream, but I am disappointed that he was so anxious to jump ship from a place that made him filthy rich. That was once his dream, too, remember?
So be it. The towel is tossed. The stock is sold. Cecil Fielder, the last big reason to go to a Tigers game, will now be one of many big reasons to go to a Yankees game. Maybe five years from now, we can point to some good coming out of this, some move we can't even anticipate this morning.
For the moment, it just proves that losing chases everyone away, even players. Man, as Cecil would say. Can you even remember when this was a baseball town anymore?


HSN Community / Forums / Customer Service / Nightmare Experience with HSN!
I ordered a MacBook on 2/16/17 from HSN shortly after ordering the product I was informed by Apple that the laptop is a 2012 model and updates may not be supported by the older model I immediately called HSN to cancel the order as I was not aware that the laptop was an old model. I spoke to a supervisor and she told me that the package was already on the way and instructed me to use the EZ return label enclosed in the box and credited me the shipping. I shipped the item back on 2/21/17 from my local UPS store. My account showed "returned" and was credited in full. On 6/19/17, four months later, I received a letter from HSN stating that they never received the return! How is this possible? I used a return label created by HSN. UPS informed me that HSN should have a record of the tracking number and that HSN can obtain the shipping information in their postage history. I've called HSN numerous times and keep getting bounced around from person to person. This evening I received a call from HSN stating that there was no label in the box. UNREAL! There absolutely was a label in the box. I used that label to ship it back to you! This is NOT the kind of business practices or customer service that I have come to expect from HSN or any reputable company for that matter! I will continue to pursue this until it is resolved.

So Many Ways To Play, So Many Ways To Win!
House Policies & Code Of Conduct
Players Poker Club House Policies
POKER ETIQUETTE
Management will attempt to maintain a pleasant environment for all our customers and employees, but is not responsible for the conduct of any player. We have established a code of conduct, and may deny the use of our cardroom to violators.
The following are not permitted:
Collusion with another player or any other form of cheating.
Verbally or physically threatening any patron or employee.
Using profanity or obscene language.
Creating a disturbance by arguing, shouting, or making excessive noise.
Throwing, tearing, bending, or crumpling cards.
Destroying or defacing property.
Using an illegal substance.
Carrying a weapon.
The following actions are improper, and grounds for warning, suspending, or barring a violator:
Deliberately acting out of turn.
Deliberately splashing chips into the pot.
Agreeing to check a hand out when a third player is all-in.
Softplaying by refusing to bet against a certain opponent whenever heads-up.
Reading a hand for another player at the showdown before it has been placed faceup on the table.
Telling anyone to turn a hand faceup at the showdown.
Revealing the contents of a live hand in a multihanded pot before the betting is complete.
Revealing the contents of a folded hand before the betting is complete. Do not divulge the contents of a hand during a deal even to someone not in the pot, so you do not leave any possibility of the information being transmitted to an active player.
Needlessly stalling the action of a game.
Deliberately discarding hands away from the muck. Cards should be released in a low line of flight, at a moderate rate of speed (not at the dealer's hands or chip-rack).
Stacking chips in a manner that interferes with dealing or viewing cards.
Making statements or taking action that could unfairly influence the course of play, whether or not the offender is involved in the pot.
Using a cell phone while having a live hand.
* Management reserves the right to make decisions in the spirit of fairness, even if a strict interpretation of the rules may indicate a different ruling.
* Decisions of the shift supervisor are final.
* The proper time to draw attention to a mistake is when it occurs or is first noticed. Any delay may affect the ruling.
* If an incorrect rule interpretation or decision by an employee is made in good faith, the establishment has no liability.
* A ruling may be made regarding a pot if it has been requested before the next deal starts (or before the game either ends or changes to another table). Otherwise, the result of a deal must stand. The first riffle of the shuffle marks the start for a deal.
* If a pot has been incorrectly awarded and mingled with chips that were not in the pot, and the time limit for a ruling request given in the previous rule has been observed, management may determine how much was in the pot by reconstructing the betting, and then transfer that amount to the proper player.
* To keep the action moving, it is possible that a game may be asked to continue even though a decision is delayed. The delay could be to check the overhead camera tape, get the shift supervisor to give the ruling, or for some other good reason. In such circumstances, a pot or portion of it may be impounded by the house while the decision is pending.
* The same action may have a different meaning, depending on who does it, so the possible intent of an offender will be taken into consideration. Some factors here are the person's amount of poker experience and past record.
* A player, before he acts, is entitled to request and receive information as to whether any opposing hand is alive or dead, or whether a wager is of sufficient size to reopen the betting.
* Only one person may play a hand.
* No one is allowed to play another player's chips.
* Management will decide when to start or close any game.
* Collections (seat rental fees) are paid in advance.
* Money and chips may be removed for security purposes when leaving the table. The establishment is not responsible for any shortage or removal of chips left on the table during a player's absence, even though we will try to protect everyone as best we can. All removed funds must be fully restored when returning to the game.
* If you return to the same game within one hour of cashing out, your buy-in must be equal to the amount removed when leaving that game.
* All games are table stakes (except "playing behind" as given in the next rule). Only the chips in front of a player at the start of a deal may play for that hand, except for chips not yet received that a player has purchased. The amount bought must be announced to the table, or only the amount of the minimum buy-in plays. Awareness of the amount being in play for each opponent is an important part of poker. All chips and money must be kept in plain view.
* "Playing behind" is allowed only for the amount of purchased chips while awaiting their arrival. The amount in play must be announced to the table, or only the amount of the minimum buy-in plays.
* Playing out of a rack is not allowed.
* Permission is required before taking a seat in a game.
* Playing over without permission from the floorperson is not allowed. A playover box is required. Permission from the absent player is not necessary.
* Pushing bets ("saving" or "potting out") is not allowed.
* Pushing an ante or posting for another person is not allowed.
* Splitting pots will not be allowed in any game. Chopping the big and small blind by taking them back when all other players have folded is allowed in button games.
* Insurance propositions are not allowed. Dealing twice (or three times) when all-in is permitted only if all players agree.
* The game's betting limit will not be changed if two or more players object. Raising the limit is subject to management approval.
* Players must keep their cards in full view. This means above table-level and not past the edge of the table. The cards should not be covered by the hands in a manner to completely conceal them.
* Any player is entitled to a clear view of an opponent's chips. Higher denomination chips should be easily visible.
* Your chips may be picked up if you are away from the table for more than 30 minutes. Your absence may be extended if you notify a floorperson in advance. Frequent or continuous absences may cause your chips to be picked up from the table.
* A lock-up in a new game will be picked up after five minutes if someone is waiting to play. No seat may be locked up for more than ten minutes if someone is waiting to play.
* A new deck must be used for at least a full round (once around the table) before it may be changed, and a new setup must be used for at least an hour, unless a deck is defective or damaged, or cards become sticky.
* Looking through the discards or deck stub is not allowed (No rabbit hunting).
* After a deal ends, dealers are asked to not show what card would have been dealt.
* A player is expected to pay attention to the game and not hold up play. Activity that interferes with this such as reading at the table is discouraged, and the player will be asked to cease if a problem is caused.
* A non-player may not sit at the table.
* In non-tournament games, you may have a guest sit behind you if no one in the game objects. It is improper for a guest to look at any hand other than your own.
* Speaking a foreign language during a deal is not allowed.
* You must be present to add your name to a waiting list.
* It is the player's responsibility to be in the playing area and hear the list being called. A player who intends to leave the playing area should notify the list-person.
* When there is more than one game of the same stakes and poker form, and a must-move is not being used, the house will control the seating of new players to best preserve the viability of existing games. A new player may be sent to the game most in need of an additional player. A transfer to a similar game may not be allowed if the game being left will then have fewer players than the game being entered.
* A player may not hold a seat in more than one game.
* The house reserves the right to require that any two players not play in the same game (husband and wife, relatives, business partners, and so forth).
* When a button game starts, active players will draw a card for the button position. The button will be awarded to the highest card by suit for all high and high-low games, and to the lowest card by suit for all low games.
* To avoid a seating dispute, a supervisor may decide to start the game with one extra player over the normal number. If so, a seat will be removed as soon as someone quits the game.
* In a new game, the player who arrives at the table the earliest gets first choice of remaining seats. If two players want the same seat and arrive at the same time, the higher player on the list has preference. A player playing a pot in another game may have a designated seat locked up until that hand is finished. Management may reserve a certain seat for a player for a good reason, such as to assist reading the board for a person with a vision problem.
* To protect an existing game, a forced move may be invoked when an additional game of the same type and limit is started. The must-move list is maintained in the same order as the original waiting list. If a player refuses to move into the main game, that player will be forced to quit, and cannot play in the must-move game or get on that list for one hour.
* In all button games, a player going from a must-move game to the main game may play until due for the big blind. The player must then enter the game as a new player, and may either post an amount equal to the big blind or wait for the big blind. In all stud games, a player may play only one more hand before moving.
* You must play in a new game or must-move game to retain your place on the list, if with your playing there would be three or fewer empty seats.
* A player who is already in the game has precedence over a new player for any seat when it becomes available. However, no change will occur after a new player has been seated, or after that player's buy-in or marker has been placed on the table, unless that particular seat had been previously requested. For players already in the game, the one who asks the earliest has preference for a seat change.
* In all button games, a player voluntarily locking up a seat in another game must move immediately if there is a waiting list of two or more names for the seat being vacated, except that the player is entitled to play the button if a blind has already been taken. Otherwise, a player may play up to the blind before moving. In a stud game, a player changing tables may play only the present hand if someone is waiting for the seat being vacated, or one more hand when no one is waiting.
* When a game breaks, each player may draw a card to determine the seating order for a similar game. The floorperson draws a card for an absent player. If the card entitles the absent player to an immediate seat, the player has until due for the big blind in a button game to take the seat (two hands in a stud game), and will be put first up on the list if not back in time.

... little machines that do their own thing. But is the whole greater than the sum of the parts?
Connecting Agents in Creatures 3 are devices that have ports. These ports can be connected to other agents ports, and information passes between them.
Ports come in two flavours: Input and Output.
You can have any number of input or output ports on an object.
You define ports on an object using the PRT: INEW and PRT: ONEW commands, and need to specify a port number (to identify a particular port) and an X-Y offset from the agent it is positioned on. There are also areas for giving the port a name and a description. These parameters are relics from the early days of development and are not used by anything so can safely be specified as an empty string - "".
If the port is an input port then you also need to define an event number that is triggered whenever an input is received.
All agents in the game use a system whereby the value outputted is in the range of -255 to +255, this allows a wide range of devices performing completely different functions to all make utilise another devices output (whether the input actually makes sense to that device is another matter!).
Agents can only be wired up so that an input port connects to an output port.
Agents can only have one connection on their input port, but can have multiple connections from their output port. This means one device can send an output to multiple devices, but can only receive input from one device.
Even if a device has no need for an input port you should include one anyway and simply use it to pass-through any values it receives.

Posted in indie, new release, review, world By Bill Kopp On February 18, 2015
Album Review: Dengue Fever — The Deepest Lake
The band Dengue Fever has been together for about twelve years; prior to their latest album, they've released six full-lenth albums (including a film soundtrack) and three EPs. But somehow I've missed them until now. My only prior exposure to the group was via their curating a 2010 compilation called Dengue Fever Presents Electric Cambodia. In my measured review, I put across the reaction that the disc was a bit exotic for my tastes. And my tempered enthusiasm for it stuck with me, making me (by extension) less receptive to music from Los Angeles-based Dengue Fever.
The loss was clearly mine, as I discovered when I gave the band's latest, The Deepest Lake, a spin. Where the tracks on the 2010 compilation betrayed miniscule or nonexistent recording budgets and a musical sensibility somewhat alien to western ears, the music of Dengue Fever bears none of those characteristics.
Sure, it leans in a decidedly "world music" direction, but Dengue Fever's music is firmly rooted in western styles – most notably (but by no means exclusively) sixties garage and psychedelic rock – with a pan-global sensibility folded into the music.
Right out of the gate, Dengue Fever employs an approach that seamlessly blends east and west: on "Tokay," drum machines chug along right alongside "real" percussion by Paul Dreux Smith, and a southeast Asian-flavored melodic line is delivered using western instruments like Ethan Holtzman's venerable combo organ and synthesizer. Lead vocalist Chhom Nimol sings in an unfamiliar language (Khmer), but Zac Holtzman delivers some delightfully reverberated spaghetti-western electric guitar. The result is exotic and familiar all at once, and quite hypnotic. We don't know what Nimol is singing about, but we like it.
"No Sudden Moves" is, if anything, an even more successful hybrid of Asian and western textures; David Ralicke's soulful horns nudge the group's sound in the direction of bands like New Mastersounds and DC Fontana, and Zac Holtzman's surf-n-spy guitar licks. But Nimol's delightful, expressive and high-register Khmer vocals take the music other places indeed.
For "Rom Say Sok," Nimol not only sings in English, but the band adds in backing harmony vocals; the result sounds not unlike X crossed with the go-go-dance aesthetic of The B-52's, with some ultra-cool guitar and synth work layered on top. As good as the first two tracks are, with "Rom Say Sok," The Deepest Lake really hits its stride. And Ralicke's horn charts on the cut are thrilling.
"The Ghost Voice" dials back the energy, creating a gentle, swaying ambience. Nimol returns to singing in Khmer, and the stuttering beat of the tune – lots of cowbell – will draw listeners in. But everyone in the band contributes something interesting and valuable, so picking the song apart in one's head yields further delights. That it all works together smoothly – that it's not some sort of gruesome or precious hybrid – is a testament to Dengue Fever's skill at songwriting and (especially) arrangement. (Composition of all of the band's music is credited to the full band.)
"The Deepest Lake on the Planet" weds western ba-ba-ba vocals (from the Mamas & the Papas / Turtles school of pop) to a spooky, slinky melody with a dreamy Khmer vocal from Nimol. One could imagine the band playing this in some smoky Cambodian bar while a tuxedoed James Bond sips on a vesper nearby. "Cardboard Castles" continues in that vein, adding some appealingly twangy lead guitar licks throughout. Here, Nimol alternates effortlessly between Khmer and English.
I'm not sure if it's a real or sampled flute that opens "Vacant Lot," but whichever it is, the effect is lovely. Because of the Khmer vocals (and lack of a lyric sheet), it's impossible to know for sure, but one can't help wonder if Dengue Fever's songs on The Deepest Lake concern themselves with melancholic and poignant subject matter; some of the titles certainly suggest it's the case. The music on "Vacant Lot" and many of the album's nine other tracks delivers beauty and sadness in equal parts.
The upbeat "Still Waters Run Deep" uses Nimol's vocal lines as a musical instrument; the Memphis-styled horn battle that provides the song's centerpiece is easily the most exciting musical moment on an already highly engaging album. "Taxi Dancer" is one of the few tracks on The Deepest Lake in which male (backing) vocals can be heard clearly; the English-language response to Nimol's Khmer call is a bit unexpected, but it works.
The album closes with "Golden Flute," featuring a stripped-down arrangement that feels like Martin Denny crossed with Parisian street music; it's delightfully disorienting in its musical hard-to-pin-down-ness.
Listeners who are open to an album featuring little in the way of English-language vocals are strongly encouraged to give Dengue Fever's The Deepest Lake a spin; the alluring performances and strong melodies will win over the open-minded.

My Recommendation for Machinarium
Add Video or Image
Top Pro
The gameplay is perfectly interwoven with the overall aesthetic and atmosphere of the game
The player is forced to move their character across the map in order to find objects of interest. This, coupled with the great sound design and soundtrack which also do their part in giving cues as to where the objects are and if the player is close, really help you immerse into the atmosphere and art style of Machinarium. See More
Top Con
Items may be difficult to find due to similar colors
At points in the game there are needed items that blend in too well with their surrounding making it quite difficult to actually see them. See More
Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive
Genre:Puzzle (point-and-click)
Interesting protagonist
The main character and the one controlled by the player is just a normal, average, everyday robot. He doesn't have any special powers or abilities other than being able to slightly extend his midriff in order to reach high ledges or making his body shorter. He's pretty much an ordinary robot thrust into an extraordinary situation. See More
The well-designed gameplay mechanics avoid making the game boring to the player
Unlike most point-and-click games, objects of interest in Machinarium light up only when the main character is close to them; this completely changes the way the game is played. In point-and-click games where this is not the case, the gameplay is usually reduced to aimlessly flailing the cursor around waiting for something to light up. Machinarium on the other hand completely avoids this, keeping levels interesting and the player interested to the game. See More
Built-in hint system
For those that do find some of the puzzles too challenging there is an inbuilt hint system shown through "thought bubbles" on top of the playable character. Every level has its own hint when pressed and it's usually a hint on where to go or what kind of object you need. Although it's advised not to rely on the hint system too much since it takes away from the experience of actually enjoying the game. See More
The puzzles are quite challenging to the point of frustration but in the end give a sense of immense reward when figured out. See More
Beautiful art style
Machimariums hand drawn graphics exude a very steam punk style that definitely has a very unique look by being all hand drawn. See More

Recommend3
My Recommendation for Dishonored
The world (and difficulty) changes based on your actions
Depending on how the player chooses to play the game the world will react in different ways. A player can choose to go the whole game without killing anyone, using stealth as their main tool. Another may choose to kill anyone who gets in their way to completing their task. Depending on how the player chooses to tackle every situation means the game will behave accordingly. See More
Taking down targets can feel unsatisfying
While the build up to getting to ones target is great in the game, once getting to the target and taking them down, it does not feel that satisfying. While it does not ruin the whole game it would be nice to have a larger sense of completion and satisfaction when finishing ones goals. See More
Genre:Action, Adventure, Stealth
My Recommendation for Bioshock Infinite
The world is amazing
A city floating in the sky with quantum physics set in the early 1900's with gear propelled robots and powers brought on by tonics are awaiting you in the city of Columbia. Bright colors and amazing vistas that are populated with floating islands that house full carnival resorts, giant memorial statues, along with deadly enslavement camps and prisons bring Bioshock's world to life. See More
Story and gameplay can give mixed tones
A high story concept mixed with super bloody battles threw off some people's experience of the game who site ludonarrative dissonance as the problem. See More
Genre:FPS, RPG
Intense fast-paced gameplay
Continuing the super-powered gameplay from the first two Bioshock's this installment in the series refines the fun and fast formula. Use tonics to launch fireballs, ravens, or electricty at your foes, or make them fight by your side, as long as you have enough salt that is. Then to liven things up get help from Elizabeth's "tears" to bring in more guns and tin-men from another time/dimension to aid you in your fight! See More
Touching on themes of classism, racism, the power of religion, propaganda, and even delving into the metaphysical, Bioshock Infinite delivers a compelling story that will have you engaged till the very end. See More
Unique combat abilities provided by vigors
Superb follower design & functionality for Elizabeth
You venture everywhere with Elizabeth. They designed her so that she's never in your way, never blocks entrances and never gets in your line of fire. But she is interactive with the world elements and she assists with consumables (Booker, catch!) and all kinds of combat stuff she pulls from another dimension. See More
Great add-on content
With the main game being so great you just want to keep playing! So Irrational Games came out with four dlc packs: Columbia's Finest, Clash in the Clouds, Burial at Sea Episode 1 and Episode 2. See More
My Recommendation for Frostpunk
Captures the grim reality of survival incredibly well
As the world lies in a deep freeze and your city is just barely clinging to life, many situations will arise where tough choices have to be made in the name of survival. When facing a shortage of adult workers, you may opt to send children to work, and possibly their death, out in the wasteland collecting coal and lumber. When people die, you can bury the dead or, in the most dire of times, use them as a food source. When coming across survivors, you have to weigh the benefits and downsides of taking them in. They may provide extra labor, but it's just another mouth to feed. As the temperature plummets, you can order workers to double shifts to keep the heating going, but it puts them at risk for starvation and exhaustion. There are just so many little decisions that add up to driving the point home that you are really in the middle of a crisis and its captured incredibly well in-game. See More
Limiting experience overall
Frostpunk's main scenario only runs about 45 in-game days (6-12 hours). There is no sandbox mode where you can keep growing and building indefinitely, making it a rather limited simulation experience overall. This may be disappointing to those who would prefer to keep their city going as long as possible. See More
Steam Rating:Very Positive
Genre:City-building, Survival
Engaging moral choices
You can enact and carry out laws in your city that will affect both the survival and happiness of your citizens in interesting ways. These moral choices add an entertaining and engaging depth to gameplay. For example, if your workers are frostbitten, you can house them in hospitals which costs resources. Otherwise, you can choose to amputate them which effectively takes them out of your workforce, yet they still have to be housed, kept warm, and fed. Children can be kept protected and warm, or you can send them off in the frozen wasteland to work like the adults. Every single action you take affects how content or upset your population is. Whether you keep them safe and warm, or make tough calls in the name of survival is your choice. These systems must be carefully balanced if you want to succeed. All in all, Frostpunk offers no shortage of interesting moral choices for you to make. See More
Not much replayability
Due to no open sandbox/endless mode, a large amount of scripted events that will play out the exact same in every playthrough, and skill trees that essentially accomplish all the same end goals, there's not much replayability. See More
Balanced simulation experience
Overall, the simulation aspects are handled quite well, and there is a lot to micromanage. Resources such as lumber and coal must be harvested and managed to construct buildings and keep your city warm. Rationing and finding food is important too, as your citizens need to eat to work. You will also be managing your "hope" and "discontent" metrics which is a general indicator of your population's happiness. Overwork them and they may revolt or die of exhaustion. Underwork them and they may starve or freeze to death. Finding this delicate balance between survival and keeping people content is where the game truly shines. See More
Camera zoom may ruin immersion for some
After building up your city, you can't zoom in to see workers headed down the bustling streets or admire the fine details on the cyberpunk style buildings. You're stuck with a zoomed out camera, which can sometimes ruin immersion. See More
Unique premise
Frostpunk takes place in a steampunk-themed 1886 England. A freak snowstorm has wiped out most of the world's population and plunged Earth into a deep freeze. As the last remaining bastion of humanity, you'll be building and managing an outpost as you fight the weather and human nature itself. It's out of this dark and desolate post-apocalyptic premise that allows the game to offer a lot of grim, yet interesting gameplay choices. See More
My Recommendation for Thief Gold
Basically a "directors cut"
Updated to support full HD, Thief Gold is the classic game thief remastered to support modern hardware. See More
Stock controls are not great
Before jumping into the game the user will most likely need to set up the controls in settings as the wasd controls do not allow movement from side to side when first starting the game, while this can be adjusted, it is a pain to have to do this from the get go. See More
Sound design enhances stealth gameplay
One of Thief's grandest achievements is its dedication to sound design as a means of stealth gameplay; other stealth games are often set in the third person perspective, allowing players to swing cameras around corners, cheating their way through a level. Thief instead emphasizes sound. Walk on a marble floor or metal grate, and you're likely to make some noise. Creep across a carpet, and you'll be quieter. This works for the guards as well, so you can listen for them pacing on the other side of a doorway, but watch out! If there's carpet on the other side, you might not hear them coming. Thief uses this mechanic in a wide variety of ways; you can use arrows that sprout beds of moss to avoid detection, for instance. See More
Rich atmosphere
Thief Gold is mainly designed around the three different faction the player will have to interact with. Each faction having their own design motif in the game, giving a feeling of originality when navigating each's territory. See More
Great music and sound design
Primordia
My Recommendation for Primordia
Multiple puzzle solutions and story paths
Many of the puzzles in this game have multiple solutions which lead to different story paths. For example, during one scene, the robots can attempt to persuade a self-aware virus to stop its destructive behavior, or they can simply just smash the computer terminal to end the threat. This choice of action leads to different results later in the game. These kind of choices persist throughout most of the game, making the puzzle-solving a breath of fresh air in the adventure gaming genre. Primordia gives the player real choices with real consequences. Some are minor choices, some are major events - but all of them will influence how the story plays out and concludes. See More
A few tedious puzzles
There are a few tedious puzzles in the game which will require either a photographic memory, or a pen and paper, to solve. One glaring example is a puzzle where you need to stop an argument between two robots that results in a rather complicated math equation. Another such example is having to use a computer terminal which, when accessed, simply gives you an open-ended 'Search' query and not much else to go on. It's only through some trial and error that you ultimately figure out how you're supposed to be using the terminal, but it's pretty unintuitive in how it's presented. See More
Characters feel fleshed out and detailed
Many of the robot denizens that populate the game world have their own goals, personalities, and quirks. Their personalities change over time based on the player's interactions with them, and what choices the player made. Whether it's the comic relief from our sarcastic sidekick Crispin, to the lone robot who guards the Shrine of Man, each and every character no matter how minor is given a level of unique detail and depth that makes them feel alive and a part of the world. See More
Thought-provoking story
Within the first few minutes of gameplay, it may appear to solely consist of self-aware robots surviving in a harsh world long after man has disappeared. However, the story takes a sharp turn into many ethical, religious, and moral issues which ultimately result in an extremely well-written and thought-provoking story. As the game unravels, the robots go as far as to ponder their creator, the meaning of consciousness, and the difference between right and wrong. The player is presented with many different morality choices during gameplay that will determine the ending, and ultimately the fate of their world as a whole. Primordia is especially known for its symbolism, especially as to how it relates to religion in our world. Some of the robots believe they were created by Man (God) and others don't believe it, or refuse to accept it. Since man no longer exists in Primordia's world, it is a constant source of debate among the robots. Horatio, the character we assume the role of for the duration of the game, even has an inventory item called "The Book of Man" which is symbolic of the bible. This type of symbolism runs deep in the game, and for the careful observer, all sorts of parallels can be found between our real world and the game world. See More
Guns of Icarus Online
My Recommendation for Guns of Icarus Online
Customizable gun loadouts
Ship captains can customize the loadout of their airship and choose different gun types which range from harpoons to flamethrowers, machine guns, cannons, and rocket launchers. See More
Narrow scope of content
The small number of maps and game modes makes the scope of this game seem pretty narrow. And even though there are varying types of objectives and game modes, they are pretty similar to one another. See More
Six different types of airships
There are six different types of airship that can be chosen, each with their own distinct visual design and maneuverability. See More
Each class can get boring quickly
Tasks are divided into three categories (Engineering, Gunning and Navigating), they are done by engineers, gunners and the captain whose task is to fly the airship and give commands. While all of these classes are fun in their own right, the fact that they are so focused in their duty makes them a bit stale in the long-term and it's easy to go through and get bored of each of them. See More
Visually stunning battlefields
Battles are fought in massive open-air arenas which currently consist of a handful of different environments including post-apocalyptic debris-filled deserts, snowy mountaintops, foggy islands and ocean side views. All of these environments have one thing in common, they are absolutely stunning as far as visuals go. See More
Everyone has a role to fill
In this game the player is stuck with a crew of strangers in an airship and the goal is to keep it from blowing out of the sky. To avoid this, everyone has a role to fill. Someone steers the ship, someone mans the guns, and someone has to repair the ship if anything happens to it. If a player fails to do their duty, everything fails. See More
My Recommendation for SteamWorld Dig
Unlimited replayability with a procedurally generated world
Through the use of random generation the game is able to create a different experience not only for each person that plays it but for each time one restarts the game. Which lends to a bunch of replayability. See More
Combat mechanics are basic
Combat consists of hitting an enemy with ones pick or drill, which is time consuming and not really satisfying. It is much easier to just go around opponents, even if it takes more time. See More
World is permanently altered as you play through it
To navigate through the world of SteamWorld Dig, you need to dig through the earth, shaping out the tunnels and paths you need to pass through, requiring you to think twice about how to dig so you can get through the tunnel efficiently, and escape when you need to before you run out of power. See More
Beginning of the game is somewhat tedious
Until a few upgrades are acquired and teleporters placed around the map for faster travel, it requires a bit of monotonous mining. See More
My Recommendation for Thief
Gives a feeling of power and stealthness
There is an ability called Swoop in the game that allows the main character to dash 15 feet ahead of where they are currently located, this gives a sens of power and really makes on feel as if they are a ninja. One of the best mechanics in the game, which makes the game a lot more enjoyable. See More
Claustrophobic level design
Too often the levels feature narrow corridors and small rooms. This makes for tight situations where it can be difficult to see everything around you due to camera angles and walls in the way. See More
Ironcast
My Recommendation for Ironcast
Unique setting
The game takes place in an alternate timeline 1886 victorian England, but with a steampunk twist. England and France go to war over Voltite, a recently discovered resource which causes a great surge in mechanical and engineering advances. From this new technology springs the Ironcasts, a war machine that is a cross between a tank and a mech. In the pilot seat of your Ironcast, you play on the side of England as it attempts to thwart a French invasion. See More
Favors RNG over skill
Due to the randomness of the gem matching game used for combat, an element of luck will always be present. Pure RNG determines what mix of combat gems (ammo, energy, repair, and coolant) are placed on the board, which may turn off those who want to truly master a game through skill. See More
Genre:Turn-Based Strategy, Roguelike, Puzzle
A new experience each playthrough thanks to randomized missions
You must defeat 9 missions in order to win the game, however these missions are randomly generated and you are allowed to select 1 from a group of 3 each time you advance. The missions are also highly varied. Some missions require you to only do enough damage to your enemy so that your foe's mech can still be salvaged. Another may require you to battle waves of enemies until reinforcements arrive. Some require you to collect a certain amount of resources or even diffuse bombs. There's enough variety where you'll always be trying something new, so the randomized mission setup helps to keep the game feeling fresh. See More
Permadeath doesn't feel like it fits in a luck based game
Sometimes you simply won't get enough ammo gems to do much damage, or enough shield gems for a proper defense. This will result in a loss, and because of the randomness, it never quite feels like it was your fault. In a game based on RNG and luck, permadeath just doesn't work and can feel extremely frustrating. When you die, you lose all your gold, xp, blueprints, weapons, and upgrades. See More
Loads of strategic combat choices
While each mech has its own overall health bar, each of their subsystems (weapons, shields, and drive) also has its own individual health bar. That means you can target your opponents various systems to disable their weapons or shields, or even disable their drive so they're unable to maneuver away from your attacks. Deciding which system to go for at opportune times can result in some rather strategic and exciting gameplay. For example, you might take down their shields so your weapons hit harder. Or you may opt to take out their weapon systems so they will have to repair before they can unleash more attacks. In addition to being able to target various systems, you can also choose a pilot and a mech separately. The pilots and mechs all have their own special abilities and cooldowns, meaning you'll be able to mix and match quite a few different setups. See More
Gameplay feels fresh and new due to the puzzle based combat
Combining match three puzzle solving with resource management results in an extremely fresh combat system that is rarely seen in the roguelike genre. By taking turns with your opponent and matching various colored gems on a 6x6 grid, you'll build resources. These resources do such things as fire your weapons, power up your shield, repair, and keep your mech from overheating. While you are only able to make 2 gem matches per turn to build resources, you can take as many actions as you want provided you generated the resources needed to pull them off. See More
Fun and exciting combat
Choosing which gems to focus on matching each turn results in some fun combat choices. For example, you could focus on pooling your ammo gems for several rounds, only to turn around and unleash a devastating assault on your enemy. If your enemy is relentless, you could work on matching only repair and shield gems to keep your shields up. The combat revolves around deciding which gem matches should take priority versus working around what gems the board is providing. Since it's always random, it can lead to some pretty exciting choices where you'll have to think and react on the fly. See More
My Recommendation for Sunless Sea
Great world
The world of Sunless Sea is charming and profound (and strange) with unique places and characters. See More
Un-involving combat
The combat system is not that involving. Enemies just slug away at you and can be easily avoided most of the time. See More
Unique art-style makes for a surreal experience
As Sunless Sea is at it's core an exploration game, this unique art-style is perfect as it sets the tone for what is sure to be a dark adventure. See More
