Shields: I want to submit Akiyama

by Gregory Chase | source:

GC: In what ways have you prepared for Akiyama, and is there anything new that went on in your camp for this particular fight?

JS: Mostly the same training. I am always trying to tweak things and make some little changes. I trained with [Michael] Bisping for a week, been out in Florida here training with the guys out here in Imperial. No big changes, but I really want to go out there and pressure him and fight and make him tap out.

GC: So you’re going to be looking for a submission?

JS: Yeah, of course. If something else comes, of course, I’ll take it. But I’m a submission fighter, so I would love to go out there and tap him.

GC: Now you describe that style as “American Jiu-Jitsu,” could you go into further detail as to why you call it that?

JS: Yeah, well I never train with a G.I., so my style is more of a mix between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and American wrestling. I took the two and kind of fused them. There are a lot of guys who have done both, but I have really mixed the two and turned it into one thing, which is kind of an American Jiu-Jitsu.

The way they've matched up Akiyama has been very odd. Don't know if they expected big things from him then? Maybe win against a big name and get into title contention. Go to Japan and profit. If he loses, well he's still marketable in the asian market which doesn't care as much for fighter's record.

Central Michigan AD Dave Heeke mum on search to find new football coach

The Grand Rapids Press By The Grand Rapids Press The Saginaw News
Follow on Twitter
on January 07, 2010 at 1:00 AM, updated January 07, 2010 at 7:38 AM

Dan Monson | The Grand Rapids Press

MOBILE, Ala. -- Central Michigan athletic director Dave Heeke would not comment on the search to replace departed football coach Butch Jones, who was hired by the University Cincinnati on Dec. 16.

Heeke, speaking at the GMAC Bowl on Wednesday night, said making sure the players had a bowl experience free of distraction was more important than making an announcement in hopes a new coach could join the recruiting trail in December. The Chippewas beat Troy, 44-41, to win the GMAC Bowl.

“There’s a frenzy, I understand that. But in our particular case, when we’ve analyzed where we are, what we have left, who are recruits are, we’re real comfortable with that,” Heeke said.

Heeke also said he is not worried about another coach leaving soon after being hired, such as Brian Kelly and Jones -- CMU’s past two coaches -- have done.

"I understand people have aspirations. When you’re successful in our league, you’re going to be an attractive entity for jobs,” Heeke said.

“I don’t think that’s a negative. I think that means our program has moved forward and had success. I just want to make sure, though, that the next person, just like Butch did, works every day for the job he has, not the next job.”

Reader poll: Does Detroit have what Toronto firm claims is the No. 37 music industry?

MotownLogo.jpgHas the Detroit music scene lost its luster over the years? Chime in on your poll and let us know!
DETROIT, MI - A Crain's Detroit Business special report this week on Metro Detroit's music industry cites a report from a Toronto-based research firm that's bound to generate plenty debate.

Crain's cites the Martin Prosperity Institute as the source of a study that ranks Detroit with the No. 37 industry in the country, reportedly well behind cities like Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Austin, Texas.

Crain's reports the Toronto firm's study looked at figures form the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis to determine where music professionals and businesses are located.

We here at Mlive Detroit can't help but wonder what readers think of the study's results.

Can Detroit compete with the likes of study leaders like Nashville, New York and Los Angeles?

Does the music industry here in Motown still have clout?

Chime in on our online poll and we'll post the results later this week.

Newly crowned Miss Michigan Haley Williams calls state-level win 'a miracle'

MUSKEGON, MI – Miss Saginaw County Haley Williams remembers the moment she knew she wanted to be Miss Michigan.

She was 16 years old and standing on the Frauenthal's stage, competing as an at-large contestant in the 2009 Miss Michigan's Outstanding Teen competition, she said.

That's when she realized that she "wanted to change lives," she said. From that point on, she began working towards the Miss Michigan title, which she won on Saturday, June 15 at the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts.

"It's a miracle ... (and) a blessing," Williams said backstage after the competition ended.

The 20-year-old Saline, Mich., native showed throughout the week that she would be a strong contender for the crown.

She won the Thursday night preliminary talent award, a $500 scholarship, for her high-energy baton twirling routine to the song "Broken Sorrow." On Friday, she won the Kirsten Haglund Swimsuit Award, a $250 scholarship.

By winning the state title, Williams also won a $10,000 scholarship and will represent Michigan in the Miss America pageant, which will take place in September in Atlantic City, N.J.

Peggy Lotridge, executive director of the Miss Saginaw County pageant, said Williams was "deserving" of the title. Williams has been working hard this past year, Lotridge said, and has done plenty of community service.

"We're just really proud of her," she said, adding, "She'll be a great role model for kids."

RELATED: Check out MLive's entire coverage of the Miss Michigan pageant

Williams will spend the next year promoting her platform, "Through a Child's Eyes: Conquering Childhood Grief."

She will also advocate and help raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, which is the national platform of the Miss America Organization.

But before crisscrossing the state for her platform, Williams said she wanted to see her mom.

"I'm going to hug my mom and tell her 'Thank you, for giving me this life and for giving the opportunities that I had,'" she said. "I live a very, very blessed life and I'm thankful every day."

Saturday night's other winners included:

  • First runner-up KT Maviglia, Miss Monroe County, who won a $5,000 scholarship as well as Thursday night's Kirsten Haglund Swimsuit Award, a $250 scholarship.
  • Second runner-up Mekeisha Alcock, Miss West Michigan, who won a $4,000 scholarship award, as well as the Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson Community Service Award and the Excellence in Interview Award, which are worth $500 and $250, respectively.
  • Third runner-up Sarah Suydam, Miss St. Clair Shores, who won a $3,000 scholarship.
  • Fourth runner-up Lauren Brown, Miss Spirit of the State, who won a $2,000 scholarship.

Lansing City Council concerned about deficit in city's redevelopment fund

Angela Wittrock | By Angela Wittrock |
Follow on Twitter
on May 08, 2012 at 12:16 PM, updated May 08, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Lansing CenterDebt related to the Lansing Center is paid out of the Tax Increment Finance Authority budget.
LANSING, MI – A special urban redevelopment fund will lose $1.6 million in the coming year, raising concerns about the way tax incentives in the city are affecting its bottom line.

The fund in question is the city's Tax Increment Finance Authority, or TIFA, which capture taxes within a TIF district to fund development.

The problem: the properties within the district are losing value, meaning the amount of money paid in to the TIFA isn't enough to cover expenses any longer, let alone fund redevelopment projects in the public interest.

"To hear that we have a $1.6 million deficit in the TIFA is disconcerting," said Lansing City Council President Brian Jeffries.

Lansing's TIF district covers all of the city's downtown – bordered roughly by Shiawassee, Lenawee, Walnut and North Larch streets.

The taxes in that swath of real estate were frozen when the TIF was created in 1982. Anything above that level is captured by the TIFA and used to fund development and pay off bonds issued by the TIFA to finance development.

But as property values fall, so do the amount of taxes paid into the fund.

"There's a persistent downward trend on all the properties in the TIF," LEDC CEO and President Karl Dorshimer told the council.

Budget documents show the TIFA expects to collect just over $3 million this year.

But it plans to pay the Lansing Economic Development Corp. $152,457 for administering the TIFA. Another $2.87 million payment will cover repaying bonds issued to build city parking ramps. Debt payments on the Veteran's Memorial Courthouse will cost $574,116, while nearly $1.1 million will be paid out on debt related to the Lansing Center.

The difference -- $1.6 million – will be pulled from the TIFA's reserve fund.

That leaves just $494,340 in unrestricted funds available for next year.

Meanwhile, all but the LEDC costs are fixed payments that will continue until at least 2024 for the parking ramps and 2031 for the Lansing Center, according to an audit of the TIFA.

With property values expected to continue their downward trend, it's apparent the TIFA needs an infusion of cash – fast.

City officials agreed.

""The best way to solve the TIFA problem is to get development in the city," said Chad Gamble, Lansing's Chief Operating Officer and director of the city's Department of Public Service.

Indeed, a brownfield redevelopment plan related to the proposed Lansing Kewadin casino would dump $14 million into the TIFA over 30 years.

Yet that cash won't be immediate. Casino approvals can take anywhere from six months to years, and the TIFA is facing a budget crunch now.

The city already refinanced some of the TIFA debt to forestall an earlier budget crunch.

That means the city, which backs the TIFAs bonds with its full faith and credit, will be responsible for any shortfalls in the fund in the coming years.

As early as Fiscal Year 2014, the city of Lansing could be making more than $1.6 million in payments to the TIFA.

For a city already struggling to fund police officers and firefighters, and essentially funding those operations by requiring bi-weekly furlough days of all non-emergency employees, coming up with the cash to cover the debt won't be an easy task.

A "bat-themed" armor set for rogues seems like a no-brainer, but we were careful to skirt the more obvious inspirations. World of Warcraft often makes playful references to pop culture, but it’s important -- particularly with player gear -- that what we create has integrity within our universe. Rogues look good in close-fitting masks, collars, and cowls rather than elaborate armored helms. It also helps reinforce the rogue's sneaky silhouette if the shoulder pads have a streamlined shape... even if that shape has sharp, bladed details.

    @ EldradThat's a brilliant colour combination! I like it way better than the original. Let's hope we can get at least one model which looks like this.Why have they not added the right head piece on the tier 7.5 pic? They have forgotten to replace the tier 7 with the tier 7.5 mask...Just look at my avatar for comparison.

    Now they only need to add some POWs and KAPOWs as visual effects and NANANANANANANANA instead of the slicing sound as sound effect to the legendary daggers. That would be legendary indeed.

    What the fu*k is going on with those shoulders? I don't want to look like my shoulders are throwing up.Atleast the idea of Rogue Legendaries compensates a bit, and also Transmog

    That is one of the most ugliest set of armor I've ever seen. I swear I wanna know whats going through the WoW armor designers' heads when they were creating this abomination. And I also want to slap them.

    Wow the bottom of the helm has been used for other models. It just looks so....boring. And plain. Rogue gear is usually the best. This is just stepping down.

    haha, What kinda tier is that?? The tier sets nowadays are more funny to look at than amusing and proud thing to look at

    At least druid set looks better. Even the mage set except the flashlights.

    If I was rogue I would be thinking "-Is this how Blizzard see's my class? Is this actually THE rogue signature in world of warcraft, if so how does legendary quest gonna look "rogue'ish"? Talk to Alfred in the cave, drive a batmobile and pickpocket thieves on the fly?" This set looks more like Deathknight to me with bat theme, but who am I to know? Im sure Paladin set is gonna look terrible aswell, they cant ever make 2 good sets in a row, but ofc I would be scared also if I knew what kind of people who judge my work. "Gimme Theme based JUDGE DREAD armor for paladin so I can ride around with my motorcycle being totally awsome and all, please!" /Hugs /pat rogues, dont worry Joker themed DKs next

    You could always mog it to a helm that you do like instead of hiding it.

In an increasingly crowded market, game makers are looking for the way to hook the most players. Graphics have become a standard of sorts in that effort. But, in the end, do they really matter? Find out in our latest Pokket Says and then leave your thoughts in the comments.

Over time, the graphics in video games have evolved, that’s for sure. But one question on a lot of people’s minds is: Do they matter? Do they matter as much as good gameplay? Well, I know that isn’t the easiest question to answer with a solid “yes” or “no.” I do, however, believe they matter more than most gamers, especially the “hardcore” gamers, are willing to admit.

They do matter to an extent. It doesn't have to look insane, yet shouldn't look like it's extremely dated.

They matter enough to get me to take a look at a game for at least a month.  I tried Tera simply due to the beautiful screenshots that players were posting.

For many it doesn't. Many ppl play Minecraft without any texture pack. Just take a look at Minecraft screenshots or vids and wonder why so many people love that game. Definately not for the graphics anyway.

Yes, but they're no replacement for good gameplay.  Some combo of the both is needed for myself.

In the MMO market, graphics are not the be all end all.  Many of us look at gameplay and/or the systems embedded in the game.  I really get a chuckle when someone knocks a MMO game's graphics, it immediately tells me that they are not a true MMO player, but someone migrating over from console games or new to the genre.

To give you an example, take Asheron's Call, very graphics dated, yet still a great game, I still go back and play it sometimes.  Then take a game like SWTOR, fantastic graphics, great lore, amazing vocals and cut scenes.  Yet the game had no magic, nothing pulling me back to the game again and again.

You can easily use Wow as an example too, as the graphics are nothing to speak of, yet it is the top game in the market.

Good article Pokket

Graphics matter. However, in MMO it is not as important as in FPS.

I am not choosing my MMO based on graphics. It is more of a benefit if it looks nice.

For me, game mechanisms > graphics.

In any game more graphics = less content, this is especially true for MMO's. This is why they all suck now a days.

Of course they do the important part  when designing a game is finding a balance . You cant blow all your cash on animations and graphics if you do, you end up like Tera nice looking but no depth ,because most of the budget went to graphics

This is true, because resources have to be used in making those graphics, instead of making more gameplay, unless a developer has unlimited resources - which they never do, of course.

Another thing though, is that the more elaborate the textures and models are, the less flexible they become.  It can be more difficult to make them customizable or modular, which limits a lot of what can be done in a game.  Devs need to make all sorts of sacrifices, like that.

When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

Games need to have a good balance of both. I find it hard to get into a new game if it doesn't have decently good graphics, which today is not hard to do honestly, but it needs to have fun gameplay to keep me around.

Gameplay > all else, but if a game (MMO) is asking me to play for an extended period of time (months/years) and especially if I am being asked to pay for that time then the game better not have bland, uninteresting visuals.

Style > all else, polys and pixels don't matter as much as immersion.

Graphics are only good if the gameplay is enhanced by it. They don't make a game itself. Sadly it's far easier for developers to make high graphics titles that lack content nowadays than actually well thought out gameplay mechanics.

too many people spend 100s of dollars on graphics cards for your subject not to matter

i consider myself a graphics whore so yes it really does matter

but gameplay mechanics don't need to suffer because of superb graphics - bad devs/publishers might beg to differ but......................

Asheron's Call 2 : Halloween End of Beta Event

Posted Oct 30, 2002 by Justin Joseph

The world of Dereth is about to change ... again! Microsoft today announced a special end-of-beta episode which will begin tomorrow (October 31) and run through November 3. This episode will give beta testers their first taste of the dynamic world of Asheron's Call 2 that players will experience once the game hits store shelves next month.

Just as its predecessor, Asheron's Call 2 Fallen Kings will feature monthly episodic content. Taking place hundreds of years later than the original game, the AC2 world has changed considerably. But when the end-of-beta episodic update begins tomorrow, the citizens of Dereth will be in for even more surprises: The sky will have turned blood red, and new Kingdom fortresses will have appeared. Along with these changes, fierce creatures -- including the fearsome dragon-like Tyrants -- will have overrun parts of Dereth.

This end-of-beta event will feature features in-game vignettes to help set the story, a quest panel that dynamically assigns new quests related to the monthly event, dramatic world changes such as red sky and towns razed to the ground. This event will also introduce new and upcoming features such as rideable mounts.

Here is a preview of what is to come during the Halloween End of Beta Event:

Tank Attack (BBC Micro)

100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
5 point score based on user ratings.

Tank Attack requires you to use a board game playing with the computer. It is a fold out map which features a hex map presented in war-gaming style. It is split into four countries with a variety of terrains.

There are four armoured divisions comprising of four armoured cars and eight tanks. Your aim is to destroy the bases of the other players countries by getting into range and blowing up the HQ.

The computer acts as a moderator deciding the outcomes of fire-fights and keeping track of the status of each force. At the start of a turn the computer rolls a dice to determine how many movement units a player can use. The player can decide where to attack and where to move.

The winner is the one with his bases still intact and the other players' destroyed.

There are no BBC Micro screenshots for this game.

This game supports up to four simultaneous players, and has the following modes: One-on-One, Tag Team, Bedlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Raw Endurance Match, and Rematch.

Very impressed with the quality of a game still so early in beta. I highly recommend at least giving this game a shot, but if you're unsure feel free to check out this gameplay I recorded for y'all.

Get a new computer. If you don't know how to build one then get a Alienware desktop or if you prefer laptops then get a razer blade.

Try running the game in windowed mode at lower resolutions.

Coolest game ever!

Entertaining for a while but there's not much gameplay in this game. More like a techdemo.

3 comments by voidnex on Nov 7th, 2013

News - Frontier
Since our last update Frontier has continued to evolve and improve!

Combat has been upgraded to a real time system that when finished, will balance the tactical feel of the old combat system with the faster-pace and more immersive feel of real-time play.

Our current build is focusing on getting weapons and manual ship controls to be smooth, intuitive and most of all fun, as a result the screenshots only show a single ship, however the fleet is still there! and it's been expanded!

Weapons now function based on their type, the average capital ship has 10 weapons systems:
3 x Forward Batteries: Large, powerful weapons that are fixed at the front of the ship, unfortunately due to their size they are unable to be guided and as a result require you to point the nose of your ship at the target you want destroyed!
3 x Turrets: These turrets are smaller and less powerful than their forward counterparts, however they are extremely versatile, capable of using both guided and "dumb" weapons and firing in any direction!
3 x Guided Turrets: These weapons are designed for long-range smart bombardment, they either lock onto their targets or specify areas to bombard, they are very powerful but extremely resource hungry.

As before, you manually control a single ship (via mouse and keyboard OR Gamepad!), while the others present in your fleet act according to custom AI profiles you have applied to them, however unlike before you can now switch between any of your 4-8 capital ships at the touch of a button. As well as your gigantic capital ships the new "Escort" class and "Support" class.
The Escort class are smaller, primarily defensive vessels that provide fire support and cover to your capitals, they come in a variety of types from the gun-toting Destroyer, to the fighter-spewing Escort Carriers.

The Support class are the freighters, miners, repair ships, ammunition carriers and fuel tankers that support your fleets resource requirements, the larger quantity/better quality support ships you have, the further your fleet can go without needing to be resupplied, with the right balance of capitals, escorts and support craft your fleet can become a self-sufficient entity, never needing to return to a base or outpost to retrofit and resupply.

With these changes also comes the ability to support multiple fleets, allowing you to explore vaster areas of the procedurally generated universe as well as the ability to construct stations, defensive turrets and specialised NPC fleets (such as mining, defensive, inter-system artillery, etc..)

In other less-spaceship involved news, we have also updated our website:

We also have a forum set up on our site so we can listen to all your feature ideas!

This game sounds EPIC. Seriously, keep up the good work.

By the way, it sounds like it could be a space RPG but you don't call it that, is the description even remotely relevant or is this more like a 4x strategy game (there's mention of building an empire for example)? You have features that can apply to both genres so it's not 100% clear.

voidnex Sep 14 2013, 8:57am replied:

Its an RPG with 4x elements, at its core you control an individual, with skills, attributes etc. However you are also capable of using wealth you acquire to hire NPC traders, buy space stations/factories, hire new commanders so you can have multiple playable fleets, conquer areas of space, etc.

The perspective on your god-rays is significantly off. All rays start at the point of light, and their edges are defined by drawing an imaginary line from this point, to, and through the corners of the shading object. Hopefully these will help explain it:

Not sure about the planet... more details aren't needed there. If I were to add something, it would be over on the right side where the image is pretty dull. I'm not so sure a planet in that location would be the best option though.

You added a black bar across the top of the image. This will look strange when turned into a HW2 background... there'll be a black dot at the very top view of the map. I suggest returning this part back to the second version.

Also, the black on the bottom of the image will seem like a giant pool of blackness underneith the player in-game. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, I guess, but I'd probably add a half-dozen stars down there. Note though, that this would be something done in the HW2 background creation tool, not in the image you import. Stars are actually rotating billboards, to make sure there's no perspective weirdness as you rotate the camera around.

Ops =P i actualy made the work hand made so i didn't saw the light problem....i'll see that later...i made those black bars because wend i tested the previous i saw that there was a little white dot on the top and bottom, i tried all surts of things to "kill" those white dots, all have failed, so i made to black bars, wich i thought they weren't that bad, and i has you said the stars can be hadded later to fill the empty... and sorry has i said i am kinda realy noob on making sperical backgrounds XD (and hs i said before the planet iff not right can be deleted. i'll see some tutorial for how to make this kind of stuff, and wend i figure how to make them good i'll submit them =)

Hell_Diguner Dec 6 2010, 10:23pm replied:

I imagine photoshop has a 'object map' function. If so, you can map your image onto a sphere, and render various angles to see how it would warp and look like in HW2. It won't be perfect, of course (looking from the outside of a sphere instead of the inside view) but it'll help with imagining what a picture will look like in HW2.

Back-Stock Promotional Picture

"Back-Stock" takes place after the events of Portal 2, as you are one of the test subjects found in the human vault at the end of Portal 2 co-op.
You are not being tested my GLaDOS directly, she has divided up the thousands of test subjects, and assigned them to other personality constructs, for testing.
You will go through the newly finished Aperture Science's Testing chambers, face new test solving techniques, and see new testing elements. Aperture has truly reached its prime.
This is only the beginning of the story, the rest is very engaging. We've designed this to be a story driven mod.
Throughout this mod you will encounter new game-changing mechanics, and chamber solving styles. Since you are a new test participant you will relearn the basics, and many basics that portal1,2 taught. when you complete Back-Stock you will naturally think in ways you never would have before, and you will think with portals.

The Back-Stock Team:
(Ben) BenVlodgi: Mod design, level design, level creation, texture creation, and story writer
(Chris) Another Bad Pun: Level design, level creation
(Anna) LPFreaky90: Level design, level creation
(Tom) relinquish152
:Level design, level creation
(Amit) Mr. P. Kiwi: Level design, level creation
(Derek) Rand0m Numbers: Mapping, and Map Detailing
(Zach) GLaDOS_Cube: Level design, level creation
(Dan) Felix Griffin: Level design, level creation, custom element design
(August) shad0w440: Animations
(Jack) jumpinjax94 : Website
ACT #: chambers desired|completed|WIP
Act 1: 10-20 chambers | 9 done | 3 WIP
Act 2: 15-30 chambers | 15 done | 1 WIP
Act 3: 05-15 chambers | 03 done | 2 WIP
Act 4  05-15 chambers | 02 done | 3 WIP
Act 5  05-15 chambers | 00 done | 0 WIP

For comparison to portals 2s single player # of maps
a1 = 8maps
a2 = 28maps
a3 = 11maps
a4 = 15maps
total = 62maps

Hey everyone, BenVlodgi here.

I just want everyone to know that we have actually been working on Back-Stock. The Dev team talks every day. I personally have been distracted by my senior year in College, and some side projects, including the BEEMOD. I hope to release the full (70 level) singleplayer campaign by spring, but time is a fickle thing, and we'll just have to see about that.

I don't post many screenshots or updates here on the moddb, because I don't want to get people really excited for this mod, and then disappoint you guys every-time we have to push back the release date.But just so you know, we are not dead in the slightest, and we are working very hard to create a great experience all Portal 2 fans, specifically you! :)

Goldrush is a multiplayer mod for Soldier of Fortune 2...

To play it you must have:
* the Gold patch installed
* a pc with a minimum of 256MB of ram (com_hunkMegs 128 is the minimum)

Goldrush focuses on gameplay, but it also has a nice admin/refereesystem and many useful features.
It will be hard to name the all, but these features are probably the most important ones:

* autobalance system for teamgames

* an anticampsystem

* realistic speed: add weights to weapons, items, gametype-items, health/armor and certain movements. Examples:
- players running a knife are usually faster than someone running around with a m60
- players who carry a gametype-item (flag, briefcase or bomb) are usually slower
- wounded players are slower than healthy players
- ever saw someone running as fast backwards as they run forward?

* extra gore: more realistic blood, easier dismemberment, flying bodyparts, some cool effects

* 21 gametypes: we added 15 gametypes; together with the 6 standard gametype we have a total of 21 great gametypes

* 17 great community maps that deserve to be played

* 2 new RMG terrains: an updated version of Booda's Australia, and Egypt (in Goldrush RMG maps support ALL gametypes)

* leanbug fixed

* a great admin/referee system to give trustworthy players some extra powers without the need to give away your rconpassword

* medals and stats

* mapvotingsystem at the end of the map; this way the players are the ones who decide what map is played next

* tokens and soundtokens (can be combined) for use in the chat

* improved bots

* 2 new types of friendly fire:
- shared : both players receive 50% of the damage
- reflect: the attacker receives 100% of the damage

* an autoscreenshot function for players to make awesome screenshots of your headshots and explosive kills

* tons of options to enable/disable things that cant be done in SOF2, like:
- radar
- teamicons
- leaning
- backpacks
- goggles
- armor
- strafejumps (2 types)
- enemy crosshair (great when you disable teamicons)
- radarhud (allows you to see the direction of gametype-items, but only when they aren't carried by a player)
- pickup dropped weapons for extra ammo or extra guns (can have an effect on backpack-behaviour as well)
- dead players can drop small medikits (can have an effect on backpack-behaviour as well)
- infrared scopes for MSG90A1 and/or SIG551
- use of multible weaponfiles (but one at a time)
- and a lot more!

* some other useful options:
- bad word filer
- alert messages that give info on gametime, roundtime and the number of players in your team
- roundbased gametypes now can swap teams every xxx rounds (useful to balance maps)
- most gametypes have their own cvars that affect the way the gametype is played
- compass (clientsided)
- and a lot more (by now you should be tired reading this ;))!

Want to make the game more realistic? Or faster? Or a combination of both? It is all possible...

Have fun playing our great mod!

Report article RSS Feed Release Date Announcement!

This is it - the game is in the hands of the testers for one last round, and I'm strapping a rocket to this Elephant: the release date for Patent Blaster is Wednesday, March 13. Yeah, that's in three days.

Posted by Zarkonnen on Mar 10th, 2013

That's the date the demo will turn up on The full version will be available via BMT Micro and hopefully Desura.

Until then, I'll be doing my best to make sure the game runs smoothly on Mac, Linux and Windows, and preparing for the launch - readying the website, quadruple-testing the payment system and demo downloads. I've also been writing a few more features on the different kinds of weapons in the game, and on some details like hovering and the target reticle that I'm particularly pleased with. These will be posted in the following days.

For now, I'm going to head back into prep mode.

And do remember:
Hover-Elephant Hover-Elephant covets your organs.

About me
Hi! My name is Chynna, 22, from the Philippines. I have been exposed to modeling since I was 14 years old. At 17, I did more photo shoots and fashion shows, however only did it part time. I have also done modeling internationally - Singapore and USA. I am currently rebuilding my portfolio as I want to pursue this full time.

I am willing to do beauty/glamour photo shoots without fee, if provided a make up artist. I am very much interested in doing different concepts as well, provided with a make up artist, and preferably a stylist, depending on the concept.

I do need help with make up. I can only do light beauty make up smile I am willing to work on some things so we can meet halfway on our goals. I am confident to say that I take this seriously, work professionally, but I also have fun while at it! No nudity please!

Hit me up, I'm in Adelaide, Australia!! smile

I love your creative style. your art shows great detail and the way you feature the model is stunning. there are lots of people who claim to be artists but your skills stand about the crowd. please check out my ports http://www.modelmayhem.com/list/305824 and see if you would like to use me for a subject. I have lots of images that have not been posted or published that I think you would enjoy working with. ok, so I am old but I think we might collaborate nicely together. xoxo coco

MSR Hubba 1 Person Tent

Item No.   10117610

The Hubba Tent is MSR's best-selling solo backpacking tent. I have seen the Hubba in action on many trips (a couple of my friends here at MJ own them) and I'm always jealous of the fast setup times (utilizing a single hubbed pole) and overall living space. In fact, I was on both trips listed in the "Staff Pick" reviews (below): the Shore to Shore with Dempsey and the PCT with Gerald. It's the same exact tent. It was durable enough to withstand the 2,665 mile thru-hike of the PCT and then was loaned to Dempsey and taken on the 220 mile S2S trail. It functions like it's brand new.

Moosejaw Staff Pick - Dempsey, Moosejaw Secret Headquarters

Moosejaw Staff Pick - Gerald, Moosejaw Secret Headquarters

FEATURES of the MSR Hubba 1 Person Tent

  • Livable: Unique pole configuration provides maximum interior space, Stay-Dry entrances and large vestibules
  • Ventilation: Mesh canopies offer excellent ventilation in warmer climates
  • Easy Set-Up: Hub system reduces number of individual poles making setup fast
  • Versatile: Optional, freestanding set-up with fly and footprint only, or add the new Gear Shed for added space
  • Fast and Easy: Hub system allows all pole sections to be connected, making set up ultra-fast and easy
  • Versatile: Freestanding set up with just fly and poles for minimalist trips
  • Maximum Space: Full vestibule and large door with ample space for sitting up, and moving around
