Square Enix has announced that their first person puzzle game Quantum Conundrum is now available for PC! Developed by Portal Co-Creator Kim Swift’s Airtight Games, the game is now available through various digital retailers for $14.99. There is also a Season Pass available through Steam for $19.99 which gets the game’s soundtrack to download and access to two new maps to be released some time in the near future.
“Quantum Conundrum is one of the most innovative, thought-provoking games of 2012 from one of the great designers of our industry, Kim Swift,” said Mike Fischer, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, Inc. “We’re proud to bring gamers the next dimension of puzzle games.”
Shifting between dimensions.
Quantum Conundrum has you taking on the role of a young boy looking for his missing uncle Professor Fitz Quadwrangle, an eccentric inventor. Using the professor’s Inter-Dimensional Shift (IDS) Device you can switch the environment around between up to five different dimensions in order to solve various puzzles. The game was a big hit at E3 with its stylized tongue-in-cheek approach to the first person puzzle genre. And who better to be at the helm than the co-creator of the original Portal? Quantum Conundrum is now available on PC and will make its way to PSN on July 10 and Xbox Live Arcade on July 11.
LOL! this is why I stick my my N64.
I want to write the stories for games and I want to work with Square Enix. I’m in school right now so what classes should I focus on mostly to get there?
I’ve had my English teachers read parts of my stories and they are interested with my work.
I made an AMV from Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, I worked on it all day and now it’s blocked in all countries, the only person who can view it is me when I’m logged in. I really want to upload it as it took away a day of my life and because to me, it’s pretty neat.
So, how, if possible, do I get permission from Square Enix to use Final Fantasy: Advent Children?
Thanks.
I believe I read several blogs stating that in Europe, Square Enix is releasing a masterpieces collection for classic games in the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series. I’m not sure if it’s a rumor or true.
I was wondering if anyone knows if square-enix is planning to make any of the other games into movies like ffv did with advent children. Is there any word at all? I would love to see FFVII or FFX made into a movie.
They are ruining games that don’t belong to them:Dungeion siege 3,Thief4 they turn entire franchies upside down and “japanize” it with every ascpect of an american game being japaneas WTF!And all of their rpgs arent real rpgs just streamlind adventure games (Final Fantasy) please square enix:quit makeing video games!Does anyone agree?

***SPOILER WARNING***
1) What are the purpose of Paco and Gordi Kramer in the game? What did they do?
2) Why did Shelby kill Paco?
3) If Scott Shelby was the origami killer then why was he even investigating in the first place?
4) Why was when Ethan was having his blackouts he was ending up on the same street?
5) Why were the blackouts happening only at the early part of the game
6) What happened to Ethan’s wife Grace? Did they divorce? Because the ending I had he and Madison were settling in a new home.
7) Why was every dead body dumped next to a railroad line?
8) If the purpose of the origami killer was to kidnap kids to try and find if their father loved them enough and try to save them, then after Ethan succeeded his trials then why did Shelby want to kill him? Wouldn’t he congratulate him on having showed love for his son?
9) Why did Madison react to the fact that Scot Shelby is the origami killer when in fact they have never met before in the game?
10) Why does Ethan have an origami in his hand after he blackouts, if he has nothing to do with the origami killer or origami itself?
11) When Madison survives the explosion in the fridge, wouldn’t the airtight seal mean she cant breathe for long inside? Also aren’t they impossible to open from the inside?
Anyway after all of this i still enjoyed the game. Just wasn’t sure about a few things.
Final question, which ending did you have and which is the best ending if i was to play it the second time?

To begin with, I don’t agree with the staus quo. As I’ve passed through my teens I’ve had to become more fiscally independent and responsible so my critical mind naturally begged the question: why do waitstaff expect a tip? I do tip, but this is mainly to “fit in” and not insult anyone, however I am quite opposed to the expected and institutionalized tipping of waitstaff. I’ve become frustrated over the years at being both constrained by and, more importantly, judged (and on rarer occassions lambasted) based on nothing more than the status quo of the institution. I’ve shared my opinion with many others and have heard many different arguments in favor of tipping so I’d like to post my comprehensive argument and would welcome people to point out the holes in it.
Please note: I’m well aware of the current legal status regarding jobs that earn at least $30 in tips a month (Fair Labor Standards Act) having the reduced min. wage ($2.13) and that waitstaff are generally hardworking people who are underpayed (I’ve worked my share of tables throughout high school). My goal is in no way to offend or provoke an emotional argument – merely a good natured debate on a relevant issue. So, please don’t comment that I “should walk a mile in their shoes” because I have. You can call me a hypocrite, but I take money when it is handed to me whether or not I believe in the institution that generated it (I call it smart). Also, a common ad hominem I’ve seen on other posts is that if you aren’t able or willing to tip you should stick to fast food or eat at home so please don’t bother with that because it is not a valid argument nor is it reasonable. Lastly, please keep your comments to valid arguments and avoid mere specualtion. Keep it airtight (makes for a more interesting debate!)
So, I believe that tips should be reserved for jobs in which the employees go the extra mile. When you pay for a service, you expect something in return. When that something is done exceptionally well or something extra is added, then a tip is appropriate (including waitstaff), but under no circumstances should it be expected. When someone accepts a job they are (or at least should be) aware of what duties it entails and the rate of pay. Here’s an example where a tip, in my mind, is appropriate: a caddy’s job is to carry your clubs as you play golf. If he/she charms the pants off of you or gives you in-game advice then that is above and beyond the job description and a tip is appropriate.
Now, I’m sure many of you are thinking that a waiter’s job is to give you your food and that’s it – not be nice, not be thorough, not be quick ( the “unneccessary” qualitities that warrant a tip in this point’s case). But think about it: in what service-sector job would consistent sour moods, incomplete requests, and tardiness be tolerated? Granted, anyone could have a bad day, but would you tolerate this behavior from a store cashier if it persisted as long as the untipped waiter? Do you tip cashiers?
Now, a possible rebuttle is that waitstaff wouldn’t do their jobs nearly as well, but if I employed a waitstaff, I wouldn’t hire or keep someone who didn’t do their job to the best of their ability nor would I give my business to an employer that didn’t expect that of his/her staff.
Lastly, to refute the “reduced salary argument”: people often say that waitstaff depend on tips to get by. Why? Because of a law, (one with which I obviously don’t agree). The patrons are expected to supplement their salaries simply because that’s how it is. (I’m well aware of the economic ramifications if this weren’t the case, but these aren’t relevant to why tipping is expected – I’m not cheap, I’m critical). I don’t appreciate that ever-instilled pressure and in very few other fields is this the case. I think (I realize this will sound harsh) if waitstaff members aren’t given the regular minimum wage then they should take a proactive political route, not depend on the CUSTOMER for his/her livelihood – this should be done by the employer.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a philosophical problem: just because something is, should it be?
P.S. Again, ad hominem and speculation will not be appreciated nor absorped (nor, frankly, read past the first few words).
Thank you.
Before this happens again, maybe the question should be phrased as “SHOULD we tip waitstaff”?

I need to get a box to store certain electronics (such as DVD players, external DVD writers, and game consoles) long-term, and was wondering what the best material was?
Should the box be made out of wood, plastic, metal, or some other material?
I would want the box to keep the device(s) relatively airtight and packed, if that makes a difference. The primary concern would be whether boxes made out of a certain material would pose a risk of any sort to an electronic device.
Are all of those above materials safe and right for a box to store electronics in?
Essentially libertarian and by the Constitution, but with modifications where necessary. Such as:
-not completely isolationist on foreign policy, we need to support other nations that share our ideals. We must encourage democracy abroad but we can’t force it on those who resist it, it may not be for everyone right now and as long as they are not committing atrocities or attacking the US we should leave other countries alone
-allow reasonable access to handguns, because criminals do not follow the law and only honest people will be disarmed. Criminals can attack you with a machete and you will be defenseless. But ban assault weapons and tax ammo highly
-very limited welfare for those who truly need it, with no incentive to have kids
-gay marriage because it’s not a “lifestyle choice.” If you think so, when did you start fantasizing about being gay and then decide to be straight instead? I’m straight and I never did.
-abortion legal within reason (no partial-birth etc.), but huge priority on cutting abortions through overall policy (birth control)
-work visa program for Mexican workers, and an impenetrable wall/airtight surveillance to keep out illegals and terrorists alike. This will also create jobs, possibly some of those that are lost to…
-the end of the War on Drugs. Free up $$ Billions & make room in prison for felons, speaking of whom…
-mandatory life in prison for all violent felonies. It’s not a game to see how long you’re willing to go to prison based on how “bad” your crime is. Horrible crime is horrible crime, but even for murder, no death penalty because it’s TOO HUMANE. Life in prison is worse, and is CHEAPER than the death penalty appeals process. Plus innocent people can be released at any time, it’s never too late.
-trim and ultramodernize the military, gradually converting to unmanned forces in land, sea, and air
-well-regulated and checked capitalism to prevent the disaster we have now, runaway capitalism can be as bad as socialism. Corporations are not “evil,” but they are designed for maximum profit so government must make sure individuals are not harmed

reopened closed thread. I did reopen a closed thread three days ago, because one of the moderators says that I had opened it in the wrong section. I opened it again in it’s proper place and it stayed open for two days. A moderator and charter members even joined in. It was closed again due to wrong category, I complained and they asked if I would like it moved instead of closed. I said yes, it was moved and reopened by the moderator. Then I opened a new conversation:
Title: The Click 101-Impressions vs. Clickthroughs and why you should click
Getting your name out is tough these days. Raising enough funds for an excellent ad campaign can be exhaustive
and making money off ads on your site without a airtight campaign is near impossible. Even search engine optimization
(that creates sites that look like they were designed by mindless robots)to get a good page rank becomes less and less
effective every time an engine gets updated.
However, the system is flawed. Corporate America and the Advertising gurus have made an undeniable mistake, assumption.
They assumed they could impress images and words about their products and ideas into the minds of the masses
(approximately 90% of the time)without anyone clicking through.
That’s exactly what a impression is, an impression on your brain. A clickthrough is you clicking on a ad. They bet
that the average human being will not click on the ads due to the speed of life, jealousy and other massive internal
problems in Society as a whole. What does this do for them? It raises tons of money for companies selling adspace,
which they make off of impressions(micro pennies on the dollar)while providing an inexpensive solution for their
corporate(giant ants) clientele(5 million dollars for 5 billion impressions is a great deal for these money masters.).
Meanwhile, millions of visited sites created by common citizens are being exploited. They pour their hearts and souls
into these sites so that the masses(they hope)will enjoy their works. Then these diligent, hardworking little ants try to
find a way to eat. Uh oh, here comes corporate America(giant ants)with some good news, “You can put our names and images
on the face of every page in your entire web body and if somebody clicks on us we’ll pay you a quarter.” The little
ant(common citizen)replied, “Wow, big brother, a Quarter, if I get three of those I can get a candy bar, thanks!” The
little ants put their(big bother ant’s)ads up and are immediately deemed sellouts by the crowd. Whether it be a nascar
racer with too many stickers on his helmet, or a boxer, with Larry’s Hardware on his a$$, that has no heart. The real
sellouts are the manipulated masses that allow inexpensive to nearly free brainwashing through and by big brother
ant(Corporate America) impressions.
Here’s the solution, exploit Corporate America back. Click on at least two ads or more that you see on every site you
visit that allows you to absorb the little ants(common citizens)juices for free. Who cares if you’re interested in what
the ad that you’re clicking on has to offer(these ads are still impressing into your brain, make them pay for those
impressions)? Click, click, click, was that so hard(It’s self satisfying and fun too!) Don’t worry, corporate America
will survive. Even if some of the old players get removed by the board and are replaced by new players. There’s still
a board and it’s ok if some of the little ants become big ants and vice versa, just don’t tick off the Anteater! So,
join The Click and play the game. There’s no membership required!Click, click, click! [close/]

Creatures:
1x Celestial Force

1x Trench Gorger
Other Spells:
4x Cancel
2x Day of Judgement
2x Demystify
3x Divination
1x Divine Offering
1x Foil
1x Jace’s Ingenuity
2x Negate

1x Storm Herd
1x Telepathy
3x Unsummon
Planeswalkers:
1x Jace, Memory Adept
Lands:
14x Island
10x Plain
Strategy:
– To use the low or single-mana cost spells (Unsummon, Psychic Barrier, Negate, Demystify) to keep creatures and enchantments off the battlefield and send burn cards to the graveyard in the early game until enough mana is available to use other counters like Cancel. Day of Judgement is used in emergency situations when you’re facing either an army of creatures or a few very powerful ones with none on your side of the field.
– Stall opponent long enough for the heavy hitters to get out onto the field (Celestial Force, Trench Gorger).
– Jace, Memory Adept, Divination, and Jace’s Ingenuity used to keep hand as full as possible
I realize this deck is full of holes that an opponent can breach right through, and I was wondering what I could do to make it more airtight. I’ve been toying with mixing it with another color, but I’m uncertain as to how reliable the draws would be with such diversity. I play modern format (from tenth edition to the current block) and I have a somewhat slim budget. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

After talking with breeders/trainers/vets/nutrionists/pet food store owners/ and all the like the internet has to offer I cannot find a better kibble out there. I’ve read all the 5star reviews and forums and the pet food sites too. I’ve found a good amount of 5 star kibble that has comparable ingredients/vitamins etc. but none that have the quality and scrutiny of every single ingredient and the was those animals and plants are grown, raised, cooked, fed, taken care of, -from the organic free range no hormone/antibiotic human grade quality cattle/game/meat/poultry to wild fish, to natural or no pesticides on the fruit and vegetables, I mean everything is looked at from the time it was born or a seed til it goes in the bag. Every farm and plant where they get their ingredients from is thoroughly inspected and researched on a regular basis. It’s always local and always fresh and never frozen. Not to mention the minerals being actually absorbable by the body (Chelated- Zinc proteinate vs. zinc sulfate for example) to the pre and pro biotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and herbs) No additives, and nothing processed. It’s from Canada and has won the Glycemic institute (nonprofit, pro bono, non-government independent research institute) pet food of the year award for the last 3 years-these 2 statements on their own are huge. Canada’s level of quality on everything is so much higher than what our government’s agency’s (FDA, USDA, CVM) standards are. Most of what makes it to our grocery stores here in the US probably wouldn’t pass inspection in Canada. The Glycemic award is huge too. Just do some research on it and you’ll know what I mean. It’s slow cooked and in small batches. It’s in a resealable airtight bag and from time its put in the bag til it gets to my local store is never more than 8 weeks. It has NO corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, fillers, and is all natural. No artificial colors, flavors, additives, fiber, animal fat, BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, byproducts, Its very High in protein(35-40%) which is debatable on whether that’s too high. In my research it’s not. If it is too high they also make “Acana” which is nearly identical except its lower in Protein-22-28%(something like that)You can’t just research pet food when researching pet food, you have to research the body and how it absorbs and digests, research every single ingredient and the types, (if its beef-what kind where was it raised and fed how was it cooked….etc./it has all the minerals but are they chelated absorbable by the body) Research the owners, recalls, the plant, the country it’s made, where it’s sold, how big is it, look at and read reviews and articles, find out as much about food, health, nutrition, biology etc. It will really help you understand what to look for and why ingredients are good and bad. It will help you see the whole picture and help you call out the BS’s when need be.
All that being said I’m completely open to new food. I would drop this in a second if I found a better one; I just don’t see that happening. Raw is best, then dehydrated, then top of the line Kibble. If anyone knows of an equal or superior product let me know. I would love one made in America but If it’s made in the US from farms and cattle in the US- the farmers and cattlemen would have to use natural, organic, free range AND go well beyond the FDA’s regulations on how there raised, housed, fed, treated, slaughtered, etc. Canada or Europe government’s agency’s put very high regulations on everything that has to be met.
Any suggestions Anyone? – Obviously dont give me anything from a supermarket or most veterinary recommended (purina and science diet…HA!) Only 5 star foods that have everything I listed or more.

Up early and quiet, but my mood is real rude like a lion
Pick at the limbs of weak raps without tryin
Dreams of taking the rap game to a hire science, an intensified climate
that’s hell like, breakin ankles left, with niqqas that aint feel right
Too many nikeheads, ain’t airtight, biting the tongue of they air-nikes
Aint looking for a newer balance, just a narrow path where the crowd is
I’m not tryin to hate, or chase the truth cause I don’t even know where the lie is
But our fate is doomed in the hands of these false messiah’s, they just puffin lyer’s
We feedin the fire, while they sit laughin, takein this as a satire
Sh*t is being shaken down to the wire, where only the static is heard
But actuality tunes back in where only the cattle is heard/herd
They stampede, and bleed right where you use to stand
I really could be bluffin at first hand, and its only necessary
Stay close to friends, and even closer to your adversaries
Keep peepin for real, even if your act is imaginary
They swagger will be cut by they own dagger
So be ready to be sharp and on point like a machete, attack wildly never steady
His reality is split like the red-sea, and be smoked by the lead-sea/see?
Now you can make moves, on your block schemes, and play it on the low ki/key
Your status’ll measured on your triple-beam
I guess that’s how it all seems, and for now I say piece/peace
