Jul 23rd 2006 7:08AM News from PSP Fanboy I gotta admit something to you all - Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is one of my favorite PSP games. I don't know if it's the quirky storyline, cheesy translation or those cute, lovable characters, but all I know is I dig playing it. And I'm equally excited to play...

Otherwise, Square Enix has been very secretive about other updates this classic RPG will have.
Breakfast Topic: Fixing Faction Imbalance {WoW}
Jul 23rd 2006 6:59AM i had the same idea but u had it first... heres what i wrote:
draenei lore before they butchered it did indeed state draenei as shamanistic.
Blood elves never did stop worshipping the sun or light in general they still believe in the light like the alliance does.
as of now they have 5 class choices out of a max 6.
see where im going with this?
minor lore modifications could allow for blood elves to be paladins from a group of ex-silver hand high elf paladins that became blood elf paladins after their home was bumrushed by arthas. (wasnt silver hand located in lordaeron and NOT in SW or IF anyway?
small lore modifications could allow for draenei to be worshippers of the light and respecters of the elements, embracing the elements of their new home on kalimdor, and as such, shamans.
whaddya say?

NBC guarantees viewer engagement {AdJab}
Jul 23rd 2006 6:48AM COURT TV, BACKED BY A group of some of Madison Avenue's biggest media shops, has achieved what it considers to be a crucial first step toward the development of an industry consensus for an increasingly important, but so far ill-defined advertising metric: engagement. The project, which was supported by Carat, Mediaedge:cia, Starcom and Inteprublic's Magna Global, Initiative and Universal McCann units, claims to have identified all of the key words and/or phrases that best describe viewer involvement with TV programming, and potentially, how deeply they might be engaged with the ads that run it. The study, which was conducted by Copernicus, a highly regarded consumer researcher that is part of Aegis Group's Synovate division, is drawn from an extensive review of the past several decades of industry research on the subject of TV audience engagement, as well as a national consumer survey conducted by Copernicus in February. The result is what might be likened to a Rossetta Stone for defining engagement: a set of 50 word descriptors and 41 phrases that can be used to identify involvement across television programming.
OSX based Flash layout {Flash Insider}
Jul 23rd 2006 6:45AM I've been looking around the web as of late, trying to get some layout inspiration for FLEX application(s) I am currently working on. Typically I would punch out a form, apply some basic smarts behind it and leave it at that. This time however, I have to think a lot more carefully about how I approach presenting reams of paper-based forms in a digital format.

The Final Fantasy Wedding March {Joystiq}
Jul 23rd 2006 5:51AM Squaresoft's 1994 Final Fantasy VI decided the series's general direction--a more plot-based, event-based, character-based RPG than was normal at the time. While Final Fantasy VII secured that direction as a trend, it was its Super Famicom predecessor that had taken steps in that direction. Uematsu's score reflects this shift in every sense: every character has his/her distinct theme, and events are scored with an operatic sense of grandeur. Indeed, there is even a mini-opera within the game, and within its soundtrack.
