After reading updates all day it looks like race and misogyny have trumped the gun debate in this case. As said in previous posts people are using this tragedy as another springboard for their agendas. Not knowing all of his imbalances or mental issues: I don’t know if I agree with the blanket theory of misogyny and men seeing woman as sexual objects. I think it has to do with selfishness, jealousy, young mentality and under developed social interactions. I’m positive most of us have gone through being jealous and having our hearts stomped in the mud. This kid didn’t even get as far as "be careful what you wish for you just might get it". Seems to me like if someone took the time to talk to him and let him know everyone goes through the same shit in life it might have helped him? Maybe someone did? Has me wondering what if he was in a relationship and the girl cheated on or dumped him and got a new man? Would he have killed them and their families? Hopefully this will get people talking to their kids and will help prevent stage 5 clingers, psycho stalkers, property damage, assaults, etc… in the future.4 points -

Tommy, I'm not bothered, none of the guys here are bothered, Chris (Tiger) will give you some slaps probably but that's par for the course - if you're having a good time then that's fine, keep at it I'm not exactly brilliant at this either, I get fumble fingers and hit the wrong symbol and stuff. I'm gonna give Bees wizards a try out over the next few days4 points -
Spent the last few days up at my cabin on the Au Sable as I usually do fishing along various places on the river for trout, smallmouth & pike. The trout were not all that active this trip but the recent warm up had the smallmouth up and active and managed to bring a few to net on streamers. Headed back up in less than two weeks for a trout trip fishing in Grayling and Mio, then back home for a few weeks till July when I head up for my annual 16 day trip. Going to be a good summer.4 points

Once I fixed the connection issues, I watched a lot of the battles from our side against them. One thing I did notice is that a lot of us seem to disperse our troops in drips and drabs. I'm most successful with attacks when I send in my giants first with a heal spell. I then send in my wall breakers. While most of the enemies defenses are concentrated on the giants, I then release my archers and wizards, kind of release everything else behind the giants. Guys, high level wizards kick ass!!!! Not only do they destroy anything in the enemy's clan castle but they pretty much destroy everything else as well. It's just a suggestion. I very rarely lose a battle anymore since I went to the wizards. As for defense, my suggestion is to try and have your clan castle as close to the center of your village as possible, along with your TH. I see some of you have the clan castle near the outer edge of your village and that's just way to ease to draw them out and destroy them. I hope this helps some of you and if I'm in the wrong, just tell me to shut the fuck up!! Hopefully, the next war will be different.4 points

Surgeons from the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are set to begin suspended animation trials by dramatically cooling down trauma victims in an effort to keep them alive during critical operations. Twenty years ago, Peter Safar and Ron Bellamy proposed that the rapid induction of hypothermia could "buy time" for a trauma surgical team to control bleeding. Now, thanks to the work of Peter Rhee and Samuel Tisherman, this idea is officially ready for prime time. EPR-CAT "We are suspending life, but we don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction," noted Tisherman in a New Scientist article. "So we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation." The idea is to buy patients precious time during critical operations, such as after a massive heart attack, stabbings, or shootings. The technique will be used on 10 patients who would otherwise be expected to die from their injuries. The doctors on the project will be paged when a candidate patient arrives at the hospital; there's usually one case like this every month, typically with survival rates less than 7%. It's part a feasibility and safety study, called the Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma (EPR-CAT). Because patients cannot give informed consent, the study will be conducted under theexception-from-informed consent process, which includes community consultation and public notification. So, if you live in the Pittsburgh area, and this seems too risky for you, you have to opt out (which you can do here). How It Works This technique involves internal rather than external cooling. A team of surgeons will remove all of the patient's blood, replacing it with a cold saline solution; the cold fluid is administered through a large tube, called a cannula, which is placed into the aorta, the largest artery in the body. This will slow down the body's metabolic functions, significantly reducing its need for oxygen. Then, a heart-lung bypass machine will be used to restore blood circulation and oxygenation as part of the resuscitation process. A state of profound hypothermia will be induced, at about 50ºF (10ºC), to provide a "prolonged period of cardiac arrest" after extensive bleeding. In other words, clinical death. The technique, which was developed by Peter Rhee, was successfully tested on pigs back in 2000 (his resulting study can be found here). Writing in C|Net, Michelle Starr explains more: After inducing fatal wounds in the pigs by cutting their arteries with scalpels, the team replaced the pigs' blood with saline, which lowered their body temperature to 10 degrees Celsius. All of the control pigs, whose body temperature was left alone, died. The pigs who were resuscitated at a medium speed demonstrated a 90 percent survival rate, although some of their hearts had to be given a jump start. Afterwards, the pigs demonstrated no physical or cognitive impairment. The technique, therefore, will only be used as an emergency measure on patients who have suffered cardiac arrest after severe traumatic injury, with their chest cavity open and having lost at least half their blood already — injuries that see only a seven percent survival rate. The survival rate of these patients will then be measured against a control group that has not received the treatment before further testing can begin. The human body can only be placed in this state for a few hours, so we're still quite a ways off from the suspended animation typically featured in sci-fi. But if this technique is any indication, we may get there just yet. Sources:4 points

Minecraft on Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita soon! (August)
Commander_Undies and 2 others reacted to tronic44 for a topic
https://mojang.com/2014/05/minecraft-on-xbox-one-ps4-and-ps-vita-soon/ No idea if this has been posted anywhere before? Hello! We’re finally able to share news about Minecraft on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita. Apologies for the delay, but putting Minecraft on new consoles is a serious business. People have been using phrases like “logistically-speaking,” “infinite terrain,” and “platform parity” for months now. We’ve decided that letting current players upgrade for a small fee is the best way to show our appreciation. If you’re a new crafter who’s looking to pick up Minecraft in the next few months – welcome! We hope this post makes you happy! Owen – @bopogamel Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition. It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99. If you’ve bought Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99. You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date. Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems. Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon. Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will be available on the PSN in August. It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version, including online play on Vita. This means everyone who has bought Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition from PSN will get it on Vita for free. Those fluent in Sony-speak might refer to the deal as “Cross-buy.” We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 3 and Vita. We’ll have more info on this closer to release. Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will cost $19.99. It doesn’t matter if you buy for PS3 or Vita first, you own the game for both platforms. Saves are transferrable between the Playstation 3 and Vita versions of Minecraft. You will be able to craft at home on your Playstation 3, then continue on the bus/toilet with your Playstation Vita. All of the DLC you’ve purchased for Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition will work on Playstation 3 + Vita Edition. Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will be released on the PSN in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Playstation 3 + Vita Edition. It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version. Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will cost $19.99. If you’ve bought Playstation 3 Edition from the Playstation Network you will be able to upgrade for $4.99. You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date. We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition. We’ll have more info on this closer to release. Players with Playstation 3 Edition or Playstation 3 + Vita Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Playstation 4. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer your saves from Playstation 4 to Playstation 3/Vita. There are technical reasons for this; we can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems. Cross-platform play will not be possible between Playstation 3 + Vita Edition and Playstation 4 Edition. Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Playstation 3 Edition will be available for use in Playstation 4 Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon.

Watch Dogs
Madjonny and 2 others reacted to J4MES OX4D for a topic
I've finally got my hands on Watch Dogs and have just played a couple of missions whilst exploring and getting to grips with the game; so here's my initial thoughts: So far, pretty good but nothing incredible. The game settles in with a nice stealth mission at the Chicago stadium after the introduction. This gets you familiar with the foot controls and overall payer interface. You can hack cameras, people, look out for threats, gather info on them and also craft items to cause distractions to pave the way clear past guards. On this mission, you also have access to the Blackout feature which we saw at E3 last year. Plunging the stadium into darkness is very satisfying and stylish although the mission whilst seeming spectacular, is just a bit basic and bland although I hope the ante is upped as the game progresses. Graphically the game looks decent and performs well at 900p and 30fps although some textures and characters look a bit basic and last gen in all honesty. The RPG elements regarding the skills tree is vast and interesting. Earning skill points and doing things the right way seems rewarding instead of going in all guns blazing so there is good reason to take car and plan your moves instead of going GTA gun-ho. The driving mechanics for such a well-presented and seemingly serious game are borderline terrible. Cars handle reasonably well to some extent but the ping-pong collisions and poor visual demonstrations of accelerating and breaking drive the presentation and general feel down considerably. It doesn't even feel arcade-based; it's just feels very lousy at times which doesn't mirror the fine foot mechanics. You also cannot shoot from your car so chases combined with the horrendous collisions just makes it dissatisfying and at times laughable. You can hack bridges and traffic lights along with roadblocks but most of the chases involve wildly bumping into the person you are chasing and off other cars and scenery. Even Saints Row had more enjoyable and 'realistic' collisions and that game was a piss take. Not a good reflection on Watch Dogs then. Overall, I can see many people enjoying this game but you have to be very forgiving to live with the driving and accepting that as part of the game. The driving is a big aspect of the product so this is a massive letdown for me. I can live with it but it just leaves the game tarnished. The story is intriguing, the overall XP, unlock and missions seem very polished and fun and I can't wait to try out other things and go exploring. It's early days and this game does shine in many ways but the driving isn't going to improve and that could be fatal in the long run.3 points -

Just seen a replay of Jsyn being mullahed by 20+ level 5 hogriders....never gonna stop that easily. Don't be disheartened guys, that's a good showing against a clan that were 8 from 8 before the start of this war. We're always gonna have problems like this but on other days we'll pull through. We've had guys away on the holiday weekend, people have connection issues etc but that will always happen because it's only a game and we live in a real life world. So relax, enjoy it, watch the replays etc. If you qualify to war...then war!! Side note: Diddums in chat box "1 star. Just.1.star."

I see the conspiracy theorists have jumped on the bandwagon around the net bang on time with some very flamboyant claims whilst hiding behind their keyboard stirring up theories despite not having concrete knowledge of the events. It only takes one speculative comment and suddenly everything gets twisted and misconstrued as it multiplies and spirals into more outlandish tales. Seems to be the same people who said the Boston bombing was a performance of a smoke grenades, fake blood and a cast of paraplegic actors. Whilst there is a lot of bullshit in the world and things we don't know and are within our rights to be suspicious about; I find some of these remarks online extremely disrespectful and offensive. Even the father who spoke bravely after hearing his son got gunned down was branded an actor as his son was taken into hiding. Can't people just accept this happened the way it did and there is no ulterior motive behind the tragedy? I don't even want to mention the tragic events of Sandy Hook and what was spoken about that. It may be early days in the investigation but this wasn't some upper echelon farce to manipulate and engineer laws. It's a common tragedy and this happen in this day and age around the world every day.3 points -

I am new to this story, as I avoided all things "news" this weekend. That being said, I am reading all this now and spotted one thing that always sets my blood to boiling. Its being reported that this dude had Asperger's spectrum Autism. First off: Aspergers as an Official diagnosis was removed by the American Psychiatric Association back in 2012, as it was a shitty diagnosis, and we have learned more about Autism since then. My son was originally labelled as Aspergers Spectrum, but was changed to Regressive Autism when Aspergers went away. Autistic's can be incredibly violent. This is contrary to popular belief, and the percentage is very small, but is is possible, I have seen it and experienced it first hand. Typically this violence happens only in severe cases of autism, during puberty, and when the normal "Tool box" of responses doesn't work. The Child will just lash out. Again this is not frequent, and I would venture to guess that the actual number is less than 1%. (Anyone wanting to know more, let me know, while not an expert, I will share my experience and library on Autism as much as I can) Second off: Why the fuck are we again talking about gun control and not talking about how the mental health services in this country have been in a steady nose dive since the 1960's? Why aren't we talking about how people with mental health issues are typically ostracized and ridiculed in this country? Mental health funding and treatment are as bad, if not worse than VA benefits, treatment, and funding. //this isn't directed at anyone here, just in general by what I am seeing in the news //Also, wasn't there a second shooter/ stabber on the grassy knoll?2 points -
I'm not a great fan of the pairing off against the respective guy in the opposite clan, reason being the top 5 are usually rock hard, and so we waste 'higher level' attacks against stuff where we have no chance. I appreciate the fairness of giving the guys with lower level troops the chance to attack the lower level enemy, and if they can do well that's a really good strategy, but I think it should be a bit more of a free for all in the middle ranks, so we three star as many people as possible Maybe round 1 should be - top 7 players go against opposition 6 to 10, bottom 8 go against 11 to 15. We have enough failed attacks at the moment that it would'nt leave anyone with no-one to attack Round 2 - improve on what we have by learning from round 1 Swapping strategies is also helpful, I'm off to build some wizards which I haven't used for ever2 points

Watch Dogs Review thread
J4MES OX4D and one other reacted to Sennex for a topic
CVG[5] 9/10 Forget speculation about textures and framerates - Watch Dogs is a bona fide next-gen proposition with a wonderfully told tale at its heart. Destructoid[6] 8/10 Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash. Check out more reviews or the Destructoid score guide. Escapist[7] 4.5/5 While the controls are quite basic and a bit more limited than one might hope (exploding things only gets so varied), a significant sense of empowerment is hard to argue with, and the interface is so fluid that even a simpleton can feel like a master hacker. It feels cool, that's for damn sure. Eurogamer[8] 7/10 It certainly entertains, but mostly through borrowed concepts, and the central notion that could have made it stand out - the hacking - is the most undercooked of all. It doesn't get anything horribly wrong, but nor does it excel at any of the genre beats it so faithfully bangs out. It's good, and yet that always feels like a criticism when a game comes weighed down by this much hype. You won't regret the time you spend in Aiden Pearce's world, but nor will it be saved as a precious memory when you reboot. Joystiq[9] 4/5 These online invasions are arguably the smartest realization of what Watch Dogs is about: the fear of being violated, and the principle of identity protection. Even when it skews toward bigger actions and questionable bouts of busywork, though, Watch Dogs is a more fluid and modern power fantasy than we're used to. Forbes[10] 8/10 Like Grand Theft Auto V before it, sometimes it’s not enough to simply be big and well-made. Watch Dogs feels like collection of promising concepts with nothing solid holding them together. Aiden Pearce should have been that something, but instead, he’s just a character meant to sell cool looking hats in collector’s editions. Perhaps that can be rectified in a sequel, but for now, Pearce is pretty big issue, and so is his propensity to kill people in boring, cover-based shooter-y ways. Game Informer[11] 8.5/10 Watch Dog's story works as a basic revenge tale, and the final few missions provide some gravity to the characters. Ultimately, however, the main draw of any open-world game is the gameplay, and while not perfect, Watch Dog's hacking abilities add an engaging and unique twist to the third-person action. Ubisoft has another deserved hit on its hands, and I look forward to seeing where the new series goes next. Gamereactor[12] 8/10 This is a cast we actually want to see more of. Despite the amalgamation of different franchises here, the IP is strong, the ideas and execution good. Oh, and its use of licensed music, particularly at key moments, betters even GTAV. You should play - or just watch - the game for the Wu-Tang Clan sequence alone. GameSpot[13] 8/10 Aiden's soul is still locked away, too, even though I spent dozens of hours with him. But while I can't say who Aiden truly is, I can confidently say that Watch Dogs is a lushly produced and riotous game with an uncanny ability to push you from one task to the next, each of which is just as fun as the last. GameTrailers[14] 8.9/10 Visuals aside, Watch Dogs has a remarkably well crafted world that feels lively and believable. Aside from overtly hacking someone, you can constantly listen in on conversations just as you walk down the street. You'll see random car accidents, guys looking like idiots playing games on their phone, dudes rapping, or even urinating on the sidewalk. And if you pull out a gun, people will run for their lives. GiantBomb[15] 3/5 Even though I feel its story is often weak and its action isn't that different from other games in the genre, I still enjoyed my time with Watch Dogs. It turns out that the old stuff still works, and the strong-but-standard mission design kept me entertained, most of the time. It's rough around the edges, though, so if you don't settle for anything less than the best, you'll probably be disappointed. IGN[16] 8.4/10 One-button hacking might be overly simplistic, but it does give you abilities that make playing through Aiden’s story feel powerful and fun. Doing side missions and multiplayer as you make your way through the dark and lengthy story makes it feel like a huge adventure, and stealth options let you play smart if you prefer. Car chases aside, Watch Dogs is fundamentally very well made, and has more than enough unique ideas to make it a great and memorable open-world action game. Metro[17] 7/10 A highly enjoyable GTA clone but one that doesn’t quite have the panache of Rockstar’s best or the inspiration to make the most of its otherwise enjoyable gameplay concepts. Polygon[18] 8/10 Other games have nailed a better balance in optional activities and large-scale ambiance, including other games from Ubisoft Montreal itself. But when Watch Dogs focuses on the things it does better than anyone else, it finds an identity worth developing. As a hybrid open-world stealth-action game, it’s in a class by itself. USGamer[19] 5/5 Watch_Dogs combines an astonishingly detailed world, a gripping storyline, creative game mechanics, a myriad of missions and activities, and improvisational tactical sandbox gameplay to create a truly next-generation open world game. Phenomenal. No other word for it.\ VideoGamer[20] 7/10 It's a game that reaches a baseline of enjoyment – and that baseline is fairly high – and doesn't raise it further. The mission loop is too samey – drive here, hack a few things, sneak/shoot out – and multiplayer is too throwaway to really affect much. You'll undoubtedly enjoy your time with it, but it won't linger long in the memory.2 points -

No. I could afford it at the time, I wanted it and it's a very good piece of kit. Ghosts is a bit meh on it but Battlefield looks amazing. The fact that I'm not playing very much these days has nothing to do with the console, more to do with work and having grown up shit to do round the house, like mowing grass. Strangely, Ghosts has made me excited for other games coming on the PS4. It looks so much better than the PS3 equivalent so it makes me quite excited for the new COD or Destiny which were built for next-gen.1 point

kylebees reacted to J4MES OX4D for a topic
From what I saw of Elliott Rodger; it seems his wealthy parents spoiled him throughout his life and that he expected everything to go his way and be on a plate for him. His attitudes to women and life in general was worrying. I have grave concern for the youth of today and society in general. Parents that are happy seeing their kids playing on Xbox for 6 hours a night, no fresh air, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, One Direction and Chris Brown as role models and this image that they have to maintain on social networks of being beautiful in all selfies and having as many friends as possible. I'd hate to be under 21 these days. The social pressures it seems is just too much now. Even guys are under pressure having perfect hair, skin, muscles and clothes. If someone doesn't fit the expectations; they get slated or bitched about by others. Also this fanboy culture we see in music and videgames has lead to people losing the plot, making death threats and literally going 'mental'. It's a far cry from the easy days I used to know. I think society is on the brink of collapse and I think metal illness particularly in young people will go through the roof with all the daily social pressures it seems.1 point -

After a lot of shoulder angel/devil battles I'm happy I didn't impulse buy a next gen console. I know it always takes a while for game catalogs to grow after a new console drop but currently each offers only a few exclusives and every other game comes out for last gen and PC. I can't justify paying full price for exclusives or games with slightly better graphics and frame rates when I can pick the non exclusives up over time for way less on PC. This plus them wanting me to shell out an additional $10 to get the next gen version of a game I already paid $64+change for and forcing subscription fees on me to play online. All that doesn't appeal to me.1 point -

Yeah, the guy the 2 starred me sent in 22 level 6 giants or something like that, along with an archer and high level king. Lower level villages are no defense against enemies with that type of arsenal. Edit: That would be 29 level 6 giants, 13 level 5 wizards, 8 level 5 wall breakers, 31 level 6 archers and both his king and queen were level 5. Holy shit!! and he still only 2 starred me. Bitch!!!1 point

I have no idea where they're going with this franchise, but I'll absolutely be checking out the details from E3. If anyone hasn't played this trilogy, they're truly missing out on one of the best game series I've ever played.1 point -

20+ level 5 hogriders?!!?!? Holy shit balls, gota watch that! I think the problem we have is that we don't have many of us at high intimidating levels, they had a good 6 bases which i'd look at and say, fudge that. Hopefully we'll get put against some people who are a little less armed next time and hopefully the app works properly!1 point -

but you dont know that from a news report. you dont know exactly what his mental health problems were or what treatment he had/was recieiving So then why is "not guilty by reason of mental defect" an allowed defence in a criminal trial. Again. People do not choose to be mentally ill. It is no more of a choice than being born with black skin, or being born gay.There are certain circumstances where a person is not responsible for their own actions, (some) mental health issues being one of them. with regards to gun control : It is far easy to blame a shooting on a "mental" person or a "psycho" , rather than face the fact that Americans gun laws clearly still have some issues.1 point -

I seriously miss riding. I mostly rode little 50cc two strokes but once we installed some kit, they packed over 20bhp (23 being my record) and put any sports car to shame until about 100kph. I did also have a 600cc thumper for a while but I never had a licence for it so it had to go. I want to ride again, but my wife would be a nervous wreck. I really do miss it though. Might get a 125 scooter for the daily commute, as we don't achieve speeds high enough to warrant anything bigger in London. 50s are fun as hell too. We embarrassed so many bigger bikes and cars it's insane. We literally poured every penny we had into those things, and the result was 23bhp on something which weighed about as much as a paperclip. Add the CVT and you can see why they were such monsters. Also, the sound of a screaming two stroke, coupled with the unmistakeable smell of synthetic oil burning, and.... well: Then the cops got hold of it, stuck it on a dyno, and I got it back with the entire engine, exhaust, clutch and variomatic all taken out. Basically all the parts with "MHR" written on them, which stands for Malossi Hyper Racing. Nicasil lining, one piston ring, 70cc. 28mm Mikuni flatslide carburettor, Polini For Race exhaust, Top Performances crank shaft, and a TON of other bits and bobs. All gone. About £2k to replace, which is pretty much everything when you're young.1 point -

The whole Painkiller album rips, I went with that just because it's my favorite track. I'm not fan of Priest either, but I love that record top to bottom.1 point
