Every Fallout Game, Ranked
By Tom's Guide Staff published 2 June 18
From the original Fallout to the sprawling Fallout 4, here are the Fallout games ranked from worst to best.
War never changes, but Fallout certainly has. This storied postapocalyptic franchise started life as an isometric role-playing game, before Bethesda took over and turned it into the series of sprawling open-world adventures you know and love today. With the all-new Fallout 76 around the corner, we've taken a look back at our fondest radiation-induced memories and ranked every game in the series from worst to best.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (2004)
Not to be confused with the similarly named Fallout Tactics title, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel just goes to show you that combining two great ideas does not automatically result in success. Interplay set out to make a fast-paced dungeon crawler in the vein of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. And, to be fair, transitioning from "serious, complex RPG" to "pick-up-and-play action/RPG" worked for Baldur's Gate, so why not Fallout? The trouble was that the game's story flew wildly in the face of the existing canon and didn't offer much aside from repetitive gameplay and uninteresting level design. A planned sequel never materialized, which is probably just as well. — Marshall Honorof

Fallout Shelter (2015)
Fallout Shelter is a free-to-play management sim where you are an Overseer who manages the daily life of the inhabitants of your own Vault-Tec vault. To keep your community of vault dwellers happy, you'll need to make sure they are fed and safe, and you'll have to venture out on missions into the Wastelands with just your wits, and recover resources. When you're not under attack by radioactive roaches or looting abandoned Nuka-Cola factories, you're expanding and customizing your vault any way you see fit. Fallout Shelter is updated regularly with new missions for free and is the perfect companion for your own postapocalyptic commute. — Jorge Jimenez

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (2001)
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is "interesting" in both the positive and negative senses of the word. Depending on whom you ask, Fallout Tactics is either a streamlined or stripped-down take on the first two games. Exploration and role-playing play second fiddle to combat, which is the main focus of just about every mission in the game. On the flip side, you'll get to recruit and build up a powerful party, rather than just a lone wanderer with a handful of fairly basic companions. Fallout Tactics is fairly difficult and not nearly as immersive as the games that inspired it, but if you want something action-centric, it's a pretty deep experience. — Marshall Honorof

Fallout 4 VR (2017)
Ever wanted to know what it's like to lumber around in a suit of power armor and get up close and personal with a rampaging Deathclaw? With Fallout 4 VR, you can do that and much more. As one of Bethesda's first entries into virtual reality, Fallout 4 VR is a revelation. Put on a HTC Vive, and you're instantly transported into the Wasteland, with access to all the cool weapons, settlement interactions and scavenging. As cool as wandering the irradiating wastes is, navigating and fighting in VR is still ungainly, which will keep all but the most tenacious fans from playing from beginning to end. Either way, Fallout 4 VR is a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of the series. — Sherri L. Smith

Fallout: New Vegas (2010)
Taking place four years after the events of Fallout 3, New Vegas answered some demands from users who missed features from Fallout 2 — chief among them, Reputation as a value, which is worth it for gamers who play on the straight and narrow, working as nobly as one can in a world of compromised morals. This chapter also made companions — those often frustrating characters who act without explicitly provided orders — easier to wrangle with its Companion Wheel game system. All of these changes make life in the Nevada desert even more exciting for our protagonist, a courier who begins the game ambushed by the mob. — Henry T. Casey

Fallout 4 (2015)
Taking the winning formula established in Fallout 3 and bringing it gracefully into the current generation, Fallout 4 is one of the best open-world RPGs you can find on modern platforms. You'll still be roaming apocalyptic wastelands, crafting tons of gear and blowing apart mutants using the revamped V.A.T.S system, but this time, you're doing it in beautiful 1950s Boston. The game's excellent soundtrack, world design and characters offer a cheerful slice of Americana that clashes brilliantly with the harrowing nuclear apocalypse you're trying to survive. Add in a robust base-building system that lets you craft your own settlements as well as an always-growing stable of mods to enjoy on both PC and console, and you've got arguably the biggest and most ambitious Fallout experience yet. — Mike Andronico

Fallout 2 took everything that worked about the first game and ramped up the experience even further. There were more items, more weapons, more quests, more areas, more ways to affect the story and more ways to customize your character. Like the first game, you played as a survivor in the far-flung postapocalyptic future. This time, though, you were out to heal part of the world, not just maintain a very small bunker. The story's bigger scope made the game feel just a little less focused than the first, but if you can forgive that, Fallout 2 is still one of the classics in the PC RPG genre. — Marshall Honorof
Fallout (1997)
You'll never forget your first trip into the Wasteland. Fallout debuted in 1997, and players had never seen anything quite like it before. Unlike many postapocalyptic RPGs that had come before it, Fallout featured an attractive isometric interface, gorgeously animated characters and intuitive gameplay that didn't require committing an entire instruction manual to memory. You take control of the Vault Dweller, a survivor from an underground bunker who must venture out into the world to secure a new water supply. Fallout is full of tough moral choices, huge areas to explore and hidden secrets to unearth, but the biggest draw is still the tight, customizable gameplay that lets you fine-tune your character's reputation, skills and play style. — Marshall Honorof

Fallout 3 marks the first time Bethesda took over developer duties from Interplay Entertainment. Early fan trepidation soon turned to universal acclaim as players became the latest Vault Dweller (aka The Lone Wanderer) and explored the expanse of the Capital Wasteland. I can't tell you how many hours I sank into this game, exploring every nook and cranny, recruiting every possible teammate and agonizing over every choice and stat allocation. The quest for your missing father soon transforms into a mission that will affect the future of everyone residing in the Capital Wasteland, super mutant and human alike. But my favorite part of Fallout 3 (aside from the music) are the morality choices the game makes you contend with. Should you try to integrate ghouls and humans? Do you kill a human mutated into a tree despite its worshippers' wishes? It's choices like these and the excellent DLC, like Point Lookout and Broken Steel, that make Fallout 3 the greatest entry in the series. — Sherri L. Smith

After three days of tight competition at the World Rafting Championships on Costa Rica's Pacuare River, the overall title remained up for grabs on the final day's downriver race, with seven men's teams and five women's still capable of winning the overall crown.
With 9th-place finishes in the sprint and slalom events and a fifth in the head-to-head, even the Teva US men's team had shot at the title, as did the women, who had tallied a 4th in sprint, 7th in head-to-head and 5th in slalom. But it was a day for Japan, with both the men's and women's teams stroking to victory on the Class V upper Pacuare, earning the men's team the overall title for the first time in history and the women a second-place overall showing.
While they had all the best intentions of bettering their sixth-place showing from the last world championships two years ago in Bosnia, and 3rd-place overall finish from Ecuador in 2005, the US Men's Team — mostly guides for Vail, Colo.'s Timberline Tours — could only paddle to a 7th-place finish overall.
The US team, led by Chris "Mongo" Reeder, saw their best result in the head-to-head event, where they finished 5th.
"We hoped we'd do better," says Reeder, whose team trained throughout the winter by paddling a raft full of rocks in a pool, and even tying it off to a giant bungee cord. "But there are a lot a great teams from other countries. "Japan had a first, second, third and fifth-place showing, and is paddling really well." Taking second overall for the men was the Czech Republic, with Slovenia finishing third.

Hey guys… i just found thid forum and it seems like there are some nice folks around here, wich is not always the case on the internets.
I am 33 years old and i work as graphic designer/ 3d modeler. I got my first real tattoo (i have a really bad one from highschool years waiting to get covered) a couple of months ago and i am hooked. Since then i am drawing a lot (i have been drawing my whole life but not this passionately) and reading and watching a lot on this subject. Art has always played a big part in my life, from music to design but lately i find myself obsessing with tattoos, design of them and drawing in general.
Now to my question. Am i too old to strat an apprenticeship, will it make it really hard for me to find one? I have the dedication, the passion and drive but still i am afraid i might have missed that train.
Thx for your answers in advance and cheers.
ps: will post some original flash once i get more comfortable with it… in the meantime here is a link to my blog with a lot of personal work from design to 3d and music.
I'm new on this forum as well, but I think i can answer this one.
I was am 30 and just startet. And well, maybe I am not that impressive in anyways (yet) I can give you an example of a guy whu startet tattooing at the age of 34 and he made it a bit I would say.
And on a personal note, I think everyone is capable of anything if they have the mind and passion set on the goal.
yeah, i have the same opinion as far as dedication and success goes. And thx for sharing Bob Tyrrells story… i had heard of the man before but didnt know his story… quite inspirational.
I think i was more referring to what the industry consensus was if there was one. Would artists here consider taking an older apprentice or would they always rather go for the 20 years old one. I find that now the older i get the better student i am becoming because i am more focused.
I can't speak for every artist.
But my best guess would be; if they can see that you have some kind of talent, and that you can show that you have the focus and commitment, then age shouldnt be any problem.
I've seen alot of artists in my country, starting at the age of 18, but that dosent mean that they are any good. Okey, years of training will give you an expertise in the use of the machines, and they are making nice tattoos, BUT not that impressive. As they lack some kind of artistic feel to things. Never attended any art classes.
My point, if you have the skills and the talent for something great, age shouldnt be any problem. Unless you find a younger artist with a bad attitude.
My friends tell me I'm only a old as I feel. I've wanted to become a tattoo artist for over 15yrs. However an apprenticeship was always completely impossible. I still think it's completely impossible. But my husband found out that you could now buy a tattoo kit so for my bad he did just that. I have equipment and a whole lot to learn.
I'm older than others who posted in this thread. I'm over 40. Put my age with the fact. Most likely will never find an apprenticeship that means I'll be day dreaming for years.
Is age a factor? I gotta say mostly no. If you want it bad enough, you can achieve it. Knowing my obsticles I'm going day by day cus f I think about he future I just knock myself down. Everyone else ca do the same thing!
I started fully at 30 and now at 35 i have my own thriving shop in the middle of town!!! Anything is possible when you set your mind to it but you cannot be weak minded!! I'm not saying you are im just saying you have to set your mind towards the goal and run with it not letting anybody sway it!!!

Вильгельм Генрих Саксен-Эйзенахский (;  — ) — герцог Саксен-Эйзенахский.

Биография
Вильгельм Генрих был сыном саксен-эйзенахского герцога Иоганна Вильгельма и его первой жены Амалии Нассау-Дицской. В 18-летнем возрасте он упал с лошади и повредил почку; боли от этого преследовали его всю жизнь.

15 февраля 1713 года Вильгельм Генрих женился в Идштайне на Альбертине Юлиане Нассау-Идштейнской, дочери князя Георга Августа Нассау-Идштейнского. Этот брак оказался бездетным. 3 июня 1723 года, через 8 месяцев после смерти первой жены, он женился во второй раз, в Берлине, на Анне Софии Шарлотте Бранденбург-Шведтской, дочери маркграфа и генерала Альбрехта Фридриха Бранденбург-Шведтского. Во втором браке детей также не было. Однако этот брак принёс ему прусский орден Чёрного орла, что пробудило в Вильгельме Генрихе интерес ко всему военному.

14 января 1729 умер Иоганн Вильгельм, и Вильгельм Генрих стал герцогом Саксен-Эйзенахским. Сформированный им в 1732 году пехотный полк из двух мушкетёрских батальонов принял участие в войне за польское наследство, воевав на Рейне и в Верхней Италии; в 1734 году он был увеличен до трёхбатальонного размера. После Венского мира полк в 1739 году вернулся в Саксен-Эйзенах и был сокращён до одного батальона.

8 октября 1740 года Саксен-Эйзенахский полк был нанят Пруссией. 17 октября Вильгельм Генрих пообещал Фридриху II ещё один полк, который впоследствии был сформирован как 40-й фузилёрский полк.

В 1741 году Вильгельм Генрих скончался, так и не произведя наследника. С его смертью пресеклась Саксен-Эйзенахская линия Веттинов. Герцогство унаследовал единственный живой родственник-мужчина, герцог Эрнст Август I Саксен-Веймарский. Он сам и его преемники правили обоими герцогствами, состоявшими в личной унии до 1809 года, когда Саксен-Веймар и Саксен-Эйзенах были объединены в единое герцогство Саксен-Веймар-Эйзенах.

Couple of days ago, I was too lazy to move out from the sofa, until dinner time came, I got left with very little time to prepare, so I did a 'quick fix' :), this is one of the dishes – stir fried cauliflower, broccoli and carrot.
Honestly, I was never a huge fun of either of these three cooked vegetables. But I knew they are very healthy food, had to have them time to time, now I even became really liking them. This kind of mix is not a very very typical Northeast style, it was originally only just cauliflower (sometimes with carrots), but I found it a bit 'boring', so started adding broccoli in, plus, broccoli has lots of good properties for helping with vitamin C intake, repairing the cell, anti-aging …… right?
Vegetables like these, personally I don't like them to be too soft, I like them cooked but still a bit crunchy in mouth. :) So it really didn't have to take too long to cook them.
Ok, I did it in two steps: 1) briefly boil the vegetables; 2) stir-fry them together with oil and garlic.
2) Chop 3 cloves garlic.
1) Place a wok on the medium-high fire, pour around 4 table spoons of oil in the wok. When the oil is heated up, put chopped garlic in.
2) Wait until the smell of garlic comes out (only a few seconds later), put all of the vegetables in, and half spoon of salt. Stir fry.
3) 1 minute later, put one quarter tea spoon 'Mushroom essence' ( or MSG, however, this is totally optional), mix well, and remove them to a plate -your dish is done! Quick, no?
If you like the vegetables soft, boil a little bit longer, but too long can reduce the benefits of broccoli. Also unless you really like the taste of the soy sauce, I wouldn't advice to put soy sauce in. Soy sauce with half boiled cauliflower is not super good combination — but it depends on different person's taste though. If you like to put light soy sauce in, put it right before you finished the cooking.Oh, also, pay attention to your fire when stir-frying, don't get them burnt.
Five a day is almost there! :)) — Good to go with boiled rice. Healthy and lazy solution.
Bring the water to boiling, then put all the vegetables in and leave them boil for a couple of minutes.
Take the vegetables out and drain.
Place a wok on the medium-high fire, pour four table spoons of oil in the wok. When the oil is heated up, put chopped garlic in.
Wait until the smell of garlic comes out (only a few seconds later), put all of the vegetables in, and half spoon of salt. Stir fry.
One minute later, put one quarter tea spoon Mushroom essence (optional).


Inspired by Waldorf kindergartens I have designed a week wheel to visualize our week rhythm. The wheel consists of 2 circles and the smaller one is attached to the larger circle with a split pin. The small circle is divided into 7 parts, each part representing a day of the week with the corresponding colour for that day. The child can rotate the wheel each morning for a new day and thus learns the days of the week and their colours.
- Make a hole at the top if you want to hang the week circle.
- A table cloth in the colour of the day.
- A morning color walk looking for specific colored items.
using flowers, gem stones, playsilks, small (Ostheimer) figurines.
- Snacks of fruits and vegetables in related colours.
- Coloured candleholders with a beeswax candle.
- A clothing detail like a scarf or a brooch.
I feel that focussing on the different colours like this actually intensifies my child's experience of the different days of the week and their rhythm.
Let me end this post by wishing you all a colourful week!
What a beautiful post! Your photos are gorgeous and you have laid them out so creatively! Last night I was colouring some egg drawings with coloured pencils so now I'm eager to make your colour wheel.
Thank you for linking up to Sharing Creative Ideas!
Such a lovely comment Joey!

Donations Helped Iowans Recover From Tornado
More than $374,000 in donations has helped people recover from a tornado that pummeled the western Iowa town of Mapleton.
The Sioux City Journal reports that the money for the Mapleton Tornado Relief Fund came in from all over the nation after the April 9 tornado last year.
The fund awarded more than $239,000 for various projects. More than 100 applications were received.
Homeowner Allen Mead, who received one of the grants, says the money "was used to help you get started, or do something with your windows … something like that."
The remaining money is being turned over to a nonprofit group called Mapleton Build and Recovery and will be available as a source for the local match that many grant programs require.

Sydney Scanlon
Sophomore Bianca Mangravite receives an autograph from the esteemed actor.
Sydney Scanlon, Alumni Editor
The largest literary event in the world, Miami Book Fair International, was held from Sunday, Nov. 16 to Sunday, Nov. 23 in the streets of Downtown Miami and the Miami-Dade Wolfson Campus. The annual eight day event, including three days of street vendors, is celebrating its 31st anniversary. Members of National Spanish Honor Society and English Honor Society attended the festival on Friday, Nov. 21. The students were treated to a taste of pop culture and paranormal affairs during an author presentation hosted by Kami Garcia.
In the past, a field trip to the Book Fair has been organized and attended by members of NEHS. This year, junior Maria Estrada, president of NSHS, arranged the field trip through her club and then invited the NEHS members to attend. In the end, one bus filled with almost 50 students were able to go.Upon arriving at the fair, students filed into an auditorium for an hour long presentation by Kami Garcia. She is the co-author of New York Times #1 Bestseller Beautiful Creatures and Dangerous Creatures novels. Beautiful Creatures has been adapted into an ongoing movie series. She is also the author of New York Times bestseller and Bram Stoker Award nominated novel Unbreakable, the first novel in the Legion series. Garcia's interest in the paranormal and supernatural is evident in both her books and her house. She claimed her office is lined with references to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other popular series.
"Arranging the book fair was certainly a lot of work, but it was all worth it when it came together and everyone had a great time. The author presentation was a good way to get us to look at the way the life of an author is, even if Kami Garcia is a pretty unconventional author," Estrada said.
Following Kami Garcia, actor, writer and musician Jason Segel (from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and How I Met Your Mother) gave a presentation geared towards elementary students. He was debuting his new book cowritten with Kirsten Miller, Nightmares. The plot centers around a young boy named Charlie who must learn to face his fears and nightmares to be stronger. Segel read a chapter of his book, allowed children to ask questions and signed copies of books. A few Gables students were able to watch Segel's presentation and meet him briefly during the book-signing, including sophomore Bianca Mangravite.
"Jason Segel was really tall in person and ridiculously sweet to the kids. They kept repeating the same questions and he would reiterate his answer with a slightly different spin, which must have taken patience," Mangravite said.
Not just for meet and greets, the festival's three day fair had over 250 national and international exhibitors showcasing books and related products. Amongst the publishers and book sellers were many "antiquarians, who showcase of signed first editions, original manuscripts and other collectibles."
"With it's [book fair's] different expositions from different countries it brought all the cultures together," junior Guadalupe Ramirez said.
Hundreds of thousands of people attended the fair throughout the days from all across the world. The event was filled with readers, writers, and literary enthusiasts. The event encourages appreciation of the arts, not just for its duration but for the rest of the year. It has left a lasting imprint on gables students and exposed them to an element of writing that is oftentimes not shown.

Explore Haiti's Contemporary Art Scene at Villa Kalewès
Villa Kalewès, Petion-Ville
Kalewès is the creole word for "hangout" and Villa Kalewès, the gingerbread mansion turned contemporary art gallery, invites you to do just that.
Take a look inside Pétion-Ville's artist-owned contemporary gallery.
Situated at the heights of Pétion-Ville, at the end of 99 Rue Gregoire, Villa Kalewès is easily recognizable by the rich gingerbread color of its fairy-tale wooden walls and white lace-like edging. It's one of the most important gingerbread structures in Pétion-Ville, and remains both in-use and, lucky for us, open to the public.
An exemplary specimen of Haiti's turn of the century architecture, Villa Kalewès may seem like an odd choice of venue for the capital's leading contemporary art gallery, but it reflects the innovative spirit that has been drawing crowds since Kalewès reopened its doors to the public in 2014.
Walking up the front steps, you enter onto a covered veranda classically decorated with an intricate mosaic of tiles. You pass through multiple spacious rooms with high vaulted ceilings and sun-drenched windows typical of the gingerbread style, until you reach the courtyard lush with tropical trees and perfume-laden flowers.
A small bar and swimming pool are part of the villa's history as a private family mansion, but Villa Kalewès is now owned by a contemporary art group called Kollectif 509. It's the venue of choice for artist workshops, children's art classes and over 30 art shows since 2014. Looking for an upcoming cultural event to attend? The first Thursday of every month is a salon-style evening the Villa. It features a particular artist and invites discussion around a topic chosen each month.
Villa Kalewès in Pétion-Ville
Kolektif 509 is the brainchild of Xavier Dalencour and Valerie Noisette, two artists with a passion for the contemporary art scene in Haiti. The idea behind the project evolved from a recognition of the growing need for emerging and established artists in Haiti to have a consistent and artist-owned venue to showcase their work.
"There is a new generation of very talented artists, and there are many artists who are known internationally but not so much in their own country," said the duo in a recent interview. "We wanted to bring these artists together to show to the public what new innovations are being done in Haitian art today."
The dedication to showcasing Haitian culture is evident in varied artworks that hang on both the upper and lower floors of the spacious gallery. New methods, styles, and schools are all welcome here.
Artists like Pascale Faublas recently experimented with batik printing. Her fuschia, white and black hearts with veve-inspired motifs drew admiring crowds at a recent all-women's art show. Equally experimental, Mafalda plays with multi-layered translucent papers and acrylic paint.
While the ambitions of the collective are high, the prices are incredibly reasonable. You can purchase an original painting for as little as $150 US dollars and support the contemporary artists who sometimes struggle to find an audience in Haiti's art-saturated landscape. The gift shop is stacked full of even more affordable gift ideas, such as contemporary Haitian art prints.
Thinking of making a stop at this architectural gem? Villa Kalewès isn't open every day, so make sure to visit during a special event or simply call head to check.

Shri Krishna Janambhoomi Case.
A civil appeal has been preferred before the court of District Judge, Mathura, against a civil court order dismissing the suit for removal of Masjid Idgah, allegedly built on the land of Shrikrishna Janam Bhoomi. The Appellants have submitted that the Civil Judge was wrong in dismissing their suit an as much as they are worshippers of Lord Shri Krishna and they have right to assert their right to religion guaranteed by Article 25 of the Constitution to have Darshan and perform puja at the actual birth of place of Lord Krishna which is at present beneath the structural illegally raised by Muslims.
"It is the right and duty of the worshippers to make every endeavor to bring back the lost property of the deity and to take every step for the safety and proper management of the temple and the deities' property", it is submitted. The appeal is filed through Advocates Hari Shankar Jain, Vishnu Shankar Jain and Pankaj Kumar Verma. The matter is likely to beard at 2PM today. The Civil court in Mathura on September 30 refused to admit the civil suit on the ground that if suit is registered a large number of worshippers may come to the court.
Disputing this reasoning of the court, the Appellants have submitted that a suit cannot be rejected on the ground that several others may also approach the court. They pointed out that the court below "failed to take notice of the provisions of the order 1 rule 8 CPC and that the court in the appropriate case has power to treat any suit as representative suit when the interest of numerous persons are involved."
The civil court had also remarked that the appellants herein do not have a Right to sue. Challenging this finding, they have submitted, "The question regarding the right to sue cannot be decided in a summary manner. At the time of admission of suit the court cannot decide the suit suo motto the question of right to sue. Even the court below did not call upon the counsel for the plaintiffs to address on the point of locus standi."
It was further submitted that they had chosen to file the suit as the trust was not functioning and it had taken no action to recover the property belonging to the deity. The memo of appeal states, "the suit has been filed by the deity through next friend and deity has right to be represented through next friend in case the manager , she bait or persons in charge of affair are negligent in performance of their duty or in case when their action is hostile to the interest of deity and devotees."
The original suit was been filed in the name of Bhagwan ShriKrishna Virjman, through next friend Ranjana Agnihotri. The list of Petitioners also included six devotees.
The Plea sought "removal of encroachment and superstructure illegally raised by Committee of Management of alleged Trust Masjid Idgah with the consent of Sunni central board of waqf…at katra keshav dev. city Mathura belonging to deity Shree Krishna Virjman."
The first Petitioner i.e. the deity himself was described as minor, juristic person who can sue and be sued through she bait and in his absence through next friend. The second plaintiff was Shree Krishna Janambhoomi- the place of birth of Lord Krishna, which as per the Plaintiffs has special significance in religious scriptures as well as under Hindu Law. The other plaintiffs were the devotees.
It was alleged that in 1968, the Society Shree Janamasthan Seva Sangh entered into a compromise with the Committee of Management of Trust Masjid Idgah, conceding a considerable portion of property belonging to the deity to the latter. Disputing the legality of this compromise, the Plaintiffs had submitted:
"That it is relevant to mention that Shree Krishna Janamsthan Seva Sangh has no proprietary or ownership right in the property of Katra Keshavdev which stood vested in the deity and the trust."
It was further contended:
"The original karagar i.e. the birth place of Lord Krishna lies beneath the construction raised by Committee of Management i.e. Trust Masjid Idgah. The true fact will come out before the court after excavation."
The appeal discloses that the Civil Judge mentioned that compromise had been entered into between Trust Masjid Idgah and Krishna Janamsthan Trust whereas the plaintiffs had clearly stated in the plaint that the compromise was made between Shri Krishna Janamsthan Sewa Sangh and Trust Masjid Idgah ; and Shri Krishna Janamsthan Trust was not party to the compromise and it had not filed the suit.
Therefore, the impugned judgment is stated to be based upon wrong assumption of fact and suffering from non-application of mind. The array of Defendants in his matter include the Sunni Central Board of Waqf, which is alleged to have granted approval to the committee of management trust masjid idgah to enter into a compromise with Shree Krishna Janamsthan Seva Sangh, giving away some of the deity land for building the Mosque.
Further , the Committee of Management of Trust masjid Idgah is alleged to have put super structure and encroached upon the land of Katra Keshav Dev. without any authority of law and in utter violation of decree of the Court.
Furthermore, Shree Krishna Janamsthan Trust was arrayed as an opposite party, as it was contended that the trust has remained non-functional since 1958 and it has "failed to protect, manage and save the property of the deity."
The Appellant- Plaintiffs have emphasized that the suit was filed for the "welfare and benefit" of the deity and the devoted at large and further classified that they had not prayed for handling over management of property to them but have prayed that encroachment be removed and property be handed over to Shri Krishna Janambhoomi Trust .

Thailand's unpleasant lesson for Malaysia
My letter to and published by Malaysiakini. 'Twas based on my posts Lesson of non-democracy from the north and The cabal moves.
K Temoc
Many may not realise that quite a few of Malaysia's official protocols and ceremonial rituals or processes stem from those of Thailand.
Our first prime minister (PM), Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, was in his childhood brought up in the courtly environment of a Thai palace and thus had great affinity with the Thai court and its practices and indeed the Thai people. When he was our PM, it would not be wrong to say Thailand was our closest and dearest neighbour.
Thus it was hardly surprising that when Malaya gained its independence on Aug 31, 1957, Tunku naturally leaned upon his Thai colleagues and close friends, and perhaps even relatives, to help our then nascent nation build up our own set of official protocols and ceremonies, those that British-style protocols could not cover.
One striking example would be the unusual military-style uniform for our ministers, which was copied from the Thai practice. There are many other such examples of us adopting Thai official customs and ceremonial practices.
But one particular Thai habit worries me, a proclivity of our northern neighbour that I hope we won't ever blindly adopt: their propensity to resort to undemocratic means to seize power.
We are only too aware of the current, unpleasant events in Thailand where its democratically elected government, made up of PM Yingluck Sinawatra's Pheu Thai Party and smaller political allies, have been under illegal political and physical siege by a cabal of conservative forces.
Just a quick summary of the make-up of Thailand's House of Representatives (akin to our Dewan Rakyat). The Thai House has 500 members, with 265 democratically-legally won by the Pheu Thai Party, a clear cut majority in any language and with it, the democratic right to form the Thai government.
Backed by smaller parties as well
In addition, Yingluck enjoys the support of five smaller parties, taking the current government's total members of parliament (MPs) to around 340.
On the opposite side of the House, with only 159 MPs, is the Thai Democratic Party and allies led by Opposition Leader Abhisit Vejjajiva. Thus the Opposition commands only 32 percent of the House.
The Democratic Party's former secretary-general, Suthep Thaugsuban, resigned from his parliamentary position prior to the Election Commission seeking a court ruling to disqualify him from Parliament for alleged violation of the Thai Constitution.
Suthep is currently the leader of the so-called People's Democratic Reform Committee, which has been campaigning, sometimes in an aggressive, violent form, to not only overthrow the Yingluck government but to deny the people any re-election for a new government based on the ballot box.
He has also demanded that Prime Minister Yingluck be prosecuted on charges of insurrection for allegedly 'trying to overthrow the Constitution', when ironically or unashamedly, Suthep himself has been the one facing an arrest warrant for allegedly the same charge.
He wants a new government that will be appointed (not elected), naturally by his so-called Reform committee or the cabal behind his brazen, provocative and illegal agitation. And from this appointed, meaning unelected new government, a new PM will be also royally appointed.
By making these demands, Suthep has effectively retired off the Election Commission of Thailand. Somehow he reminds me of a certain someone in Perkasa, though in our case, our Election Commission is fairly safe.
In the meanwhile, as PM Yingluck bravely restrains her Red Short supporters, Suthep Thaugsuban behaves extraordinarily as a government in parallel to Yingluck's democratically constituted one.
Snap election date fixed
Though Yingluck has called for a snap election for Feb 2, 2014, to determine once again the people's choice in a democratic forum, the forces led by and also behind Suthep won't have any of that, aware that a nationwide vote would likely return the far more popular Pheu Thai Party, thus explaining why they want instead an unelected or appointed government and a PM appointed by the Thai royalty to run the country.
Journalist Brian Klonoski wrote recently in the news media RYOT: "The recently rowdy streets of Bangkok were silent on Tuesday, thanks to a national holiday, but that didn't stop Suthep Thaugsuban - the former politician now leading protests - from giving speeches, issuing decrees and more or less attempting to establish a parallel government in Thailand.
"Despite lacking an ounce of authority, Thaugsuban continues to insist that his protest movement - which has drawn as many as 150,000 demonstrators in Bangkok - has more legitimacy than the elected government."
While the frightening thing is that despite lacking an ounce of authority, Suthep is being taken seriously by the conservative forces, including the powerful Thai Army. But then again, it is hardly surprising, as some of them are probably part of the cabal behind his destabilising campaign against the Yingluck government."
Thai Armed Forces invite Suthep
We learn today that the Thai Armed Forces have bizarrely invited Suthep to join the heads of the army, navy and air force at a seminar to be held tomorrow "to find a way out for Thailand", and that the supreme commander would be the mediator and other "stakeholders" would join them.
I suppose we may safely guess that when the Thai military invites such a rebel-rouser, one already facing a warrant of arrest for alleged violation against the Thai Constitution, PM Yingluck is hardly likely to be one of the 'other stakeholders'.
Thus, while Suthep has effectively rendered the Election Commission redundant, the Thai Armed Forces in inviting Suthep, but not Yingluck, to a seminar to resolve Thailand's present political imbroglio, has done likewise to Yingluck Sinawatra, the legally and democratically-elected PM.
Will tomorrow's seminar involve appointing the 'specially selected' people to form the new government, with one to be the royally-appointed new PM? Won't this elitist, undemocratic meddling marginalise the people of Thailand?
It is interesting to recall that on April 26, 2006, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej addressed the Administrative and Supreme Courts' judges at Klai Kangwol Palace, where he said the following (only an extract):
"If the House is not filled by elected candidates, the democracy cannot function. If this is the case, the oaths you have just sworn in would be invalid. You have sworn to work for democracy. If you cannot do it, then you may have to resign. You must find ways to solve the problem."
"You cannot ask the King to make a decision, saying that the King has signed his signature. Article 7 does not say that the King has that authority. It does not.
"Look at Article 7. The article does not say that a constitutional monarchy means the King has the authority to make an order. I insist that I have never issued any order without basing them on directives of the articles of the Constitution, laws and Acts. I strictly and correctly have complied with the Constitution.
"People have asked for a royally-appointed prime minister, but there is not a rule for this; a prime minister is correctly royally endorsed every time. There may be people who say that King Rama IX likes to do what he wants, but I have never done that."
Thai elite fearing political awakening?
Based on his royal, most correct and most proper views on Thailand's constitutional monarchy some years ago, obviously the Thai king himself is hardly likely to be in support of the current attempt to overthrow a duly and democratically-elected government, nor in the undemocratic nonsense of a royally-appointed PM. Who then would be?
As Lizzie Presser wrote for the New York Times, it's all about the Thai elite (the royal aristocrats and old establishment) fearing the political awakening of the powerful peasant supporters of the Pheu Thai Party as a threat to their status quo, an awakening first brought about by Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Sinawatra and then continued by her. Hence, it is hardly surprising that Thaksin has been repetitively demonised by the aristocrats and conservative elites.
The old establishment wants to regain and retain their old power, their status quo so to speak, by any means, including questionable tactics as the current undemocratic and violent destabilising upheavals.
And that has been why Suthep Thaugsuban and his protesters could run around with impunity in Bangkok in their harassment and disruption of the legitimate government, while the police were 'advised' by the Army to 'take it easy'. I am not sure why, but I keep thinking of Perkasa again...
But what lesson does it hold for us in Malaysia, that a minority party, with some powerful backing, including those of the Army, could demand a new government, one to be appointed by 'the few' with a PM appointed by the royalty?
And you thought 46 percent of the popular votes was bad?
Anonymous 8:44 pm, December 13, 2013
If you look at the interaction between Anwar Ibrahim & Thaksin very carefully, you would have realised that THEY ARE LIKE SWORN BROTHERS. In fact, Thaksin was the first person who accepted the IMF austerity programme just as Anwar wanted to follow the similar programme even though the so called old orders such as Madhater & Najib not approving of such move.
I am taken aback with the last sentence you are making......How can you mix both malaysia & thailand politics together?
While Pheu Thai party got 48% of popular votes, Democratic Party GOT ONLY FUCKING CIBAI 35% of popular vote

the 46% in my last sentence refers to BN's share of votes in GE-13. My implied message was that compared to the Thai Democratic Party who's now the wannabe ruling party, at least BN had a higher and thus more decent percentage - gosh, do I have to explain thus to you?

Thailand and Malaysia have had very divergent histories.
At the point of Independence, Malaysia inherited from its colonizers some rather strong institutions, and was led by people who took those institutions quite seriously. A respect for free elections, Parliament, an independent judiciary and a military which adhered to policy control by a civilian government. Imperfect, but recognised by its peers as of working standard. The Tunku was certainly serious about the spirit of the 1957 constitution.
Malaysia's chief current problem is a steady backsliding towards a corrupt and authoritarian state, though it started with a serious intention to emulate a Westminster style parliamentary democracy..
Thailand was never colonised - and here's one drawback - has no history of democracy. It was not until the 1997 constitution that Thailand had anything close to a recognisable rule by representative government. Everything before that was either absolute monarchy, or military outright rule or "guided".
So Thailand really has little basic democracy in its DNA.
It is no secret that the King wasn't a fan of Thaksin Shinawatra, but mind you, the relevant events were more than 10 years ago, when the King was a more vigorous person. I don't think he has the energy to bother much about slights and minor disrespects, real or imagined these days.
Its is unlikely the King has anything directly to do with Thaksin's ouster, or the current attempt to topple the current elected government of the Thaksin-aligned party, now led by his sister.
Thailand's "Royal establishment" is another matter. The coterie of High Ranking princes and palace bureaucrats are certainly not neutral in the struggle between the Yellows and the Reds.
In any strong system of elected government, Yingluck ought to be in an unassailable position. Unfortunately, Given Thailand's very thin democratic traditions, I would say her government is likely to be toppled in the near future.

excellent capture of Thailand's problem vis-a-vis Malaysia's

The point is.......Thailand & Malaysia are different. Full stop. How can you simply justify your loverboy's situation while lumping them together. If you really need to compare. Perhaps, Taiwan or South Korea would be a better comparison. Why you just accept the fact that Najib is a rotten nangka.....aiyaa. Ask Ariff Sabri la
KTemoc 11:34 am, December 14, 2013
Malaysia is different from Thailand, but similar to Taiwan and Korea??? Don't confuse your own self, wakakaka
My yingeland not as powderful as you are........Didn't I use the word, perhaps.......Oh come on la! Don't divert the issue so as to protect your loverboy la which is Najib Razak. Why can't you just report the Thai issue as it's? Get my drift
Although Thailand & Malaysia have divergent histories & political systems, it doesn't mean one is lesser than the other. America wants everyone to toe the line as per their democratic model but as one can see, each system works well for their own socio-political enviroment.
A few observations about Thailand:
1. Its an open & inclusive system even allowing Chinese to lead the country. The majority Thais do not have an issue on this. Importantly, the country is well run etc. Seeing the GDP especially contributive factors like tourism, agriculture and manufacturing (like Toyota etc) compared to Msia who has gas, oil, rubber & now renewed interest in tin, we are far behind.
Philippines has not even had a Chinese as elected leader, only predominant ruling & powerful Spanish clans.
2. The Thai King is revered in the country unlike any monarch in the region and he has great influence over the people. Some of their greatest rulers brought progress etc in the absence of political participation like Rama etc.
In Msia, the Agong is appointed on a rotational basis from a community of fellow royals. Brunei has no political system what so ever and is lead by the visionary & benelovant Sultan.
3. The army's role in Thai seems to be like a new flash point in Thai politics in a few comments. One should visit the Bangkok Royal Museum. King Taksin or the King of Thonburi was a soldier before being made ruler in the 18th century. The army has always played a part in Thai's political system. Taksin was also a Chinese.
4. The present predicament is not with indigenious Thai against Chinese or non-Thai BUT Chinese against Chinese. This is the sad part & has always been in the background of Thai politics for the last two decades.
Unfortunately, in this case, its the elite Chinese Bangkok class against a northerner from an ordinary background.
So how is Malaysia's Westminster system (28 million people) compare to that of Thailand's (70 million population) or even China' socialist state (that governs 1.3 billion people) or India's Westminister parliment (1.2 billion) and divided states or Russia's (142 million) convulated socialist-democratic one person rule?
Apple to apple, Malaysia should match up with Singapore since we share the same history, Westminister model and peoples. So how does Malaysia is rated? Against Thailand, any takers?
Importantly, is the system working for us? Talk national budget, education, race relations, corruption, arm forces, economy etc.... we may just need to keep quiet & let the Thai's do what they do best.
Given the current 'awakening' within the people (elites & commoners) of Thailand, one thing is VERY sure - within the next 10 yr, Thailand would be a current Taiwan/S Korea in making.
The analysis of the Thai political development, vis-a-vis the cultural background, Thailand has more similarity with the Taiwan/S Korea of the early 60s. Called that the good-sided effect of the yellow peril, for those historical nix.
It's the same picture repeats, when the Taiwan/S Korea r playing catching-up game, with M'sia laughing out loud at the front during the 60s. There were no much differences then of the situations in Taiwan/ S Korea, with the exception of the monarch. But then, the dictators there, could very well be put into the same model as the Thai king, minus the king's reverence.
M'sia, with her one-sided socio-political development, entangled more & more with pseudo-islamic ingredients, would have to eat dust again, compare with Thailand, in this coming decade!
All this bcoz of the siege mentality of the ketuanan, imagined by a group of feudalistic people, manufactured & trumpet-on by their elites with threats, tongkat & religious hereafters slogans.
Somehow, KT's expected lesson would be well learn by the elites for its negativity.
For their commoners, it seems like a gone case scenario, unless these people is willing to discard their feudalistic thinking, wrt AlifBaTa!
That would be VERY fat chance, similar in magnitude of S'pore joining M'sia again!
Correct, the present president is of chinese origin. Secondly, Brunei is under absolute monarchical rule.Thai military is the main problem but then again what makes you think Malaysia would not do the same. Furthermore, Thaksin is not of ordinary man. He has his police clique which unfortunately got less banana as compared to the army.
How to compare to singapore? Ok la, just to make kaytee ORGASM.....Singapore's election department is under PM's office. However, it's far more neutral than even aussie election commission. Ok la, far more competent.......
I got nothing against Thailand but really can't take the bullshit from jaytee who hijack the scenario in thailand just to protect his loverboy called Najib
The whole writeup by this joker called kaytee is to tell us to respect the rule of law.....Or is it rule by law.......Oh come on la, open your eyes & tell me if there is a rule of law in malaysia....why so many international MNCs agreement MUST BE arbitrated
Kaytee tries to confuse the guillible folks by lumping 2 different issues together
Malaysia does not need the army to intervene.

Chanchai 8:18 am, December 16, 2013
I lived and worked in Thailand for a few years back in the early 1990's. My observations at the time - the racism against the Chinese is structured and systemic and as strong as anything Perkasa could dream up.
The number of Chinese schools in the country was exactly zero.
No Chinese characters were seen anywhere in public. No Chinese is ever spoken in public , in movies , on television or any public events or media or even private events outside of the house.
At that time, it was a big "liberalisation" when the Thai government for the first time allowed private colleges and language centres to offer Chinese language courses. The first private Chinese-medium school was approved in the late 1990's.
Today, Chinese language is widely taught privately in Thailand, mainly to leverage its lucrative trade with China, but that is a different story.
There was an outlet, which most of the ethnic Chinese followed.
If they took Siamese names, spoke the Siamese language, adopted Siamese customs and way of life, they were fully accepted into Thai society.
To borrow a Malaysian concept, they became "constitutional Thais".
These "constitutional Thais" had full access to the economic and educational system. Since the ethnic Chinese business and trading networks remained intact, many of these "constitutional Thai" businesses prospered. Today, they still dominate the Thai economy.
Their children could, and did eventually become Prime Ministers and top leaders in Thai society.
The bit the Thais left out was religion. Taoism and Pure Land Buddhism, which most Chinese follow, sits easily with the Siamese Thervada Buddhism, so there was no religious conflict.
See...the system is a lot like Malaysia.
Become a "Constitutional Local" and you become a first class citizen.
Ah...a bit like Malaysia, there is a certain truth that the political trouble makers on both the Reds and Yellows are "Constitutional Thais"....
What about - "Anwar Ktemoc" ?
Unlike Thailand, here in Malaysia it's not politics but the issue of non-negotiable non-compatible religions that make impossible the nationalistic integration of our society, so Anwar KTemoc is unlikely as compared to Ananda KTemoc or even Subianto KTemoc wakakaka
Wait a minute, why can't go one religion further ?
This time I got to agree with kaytee. Have you heard of Sonthi Boonyaratglin?
Chanchai 5:46 pm, December 16, 2013
I knew a number of Thai Muslims when I was working in Thailand.
Sonthi rose to the command of the Thai Army , but he was an exception.
Thai Muslims can be roughly split into two categories. Those who are culturally Siamese, but are Muslims by religion (usually because one or other Muslim ancestor ). Sonthi Boonyaratglin belongs to this group.
The other much larger group, mostly in the South, are culturally similar to Malays and the entire community are Muslims.
The Southern ("Malay") Thai Muslims have found themselves alienated and marginalised in the country's predominant Siamse-Buddhist society. The violence in Southern Thailand is not going away anytime soon.
KTemoc 5:49 pm, December 16, 2013
Sonthi may be a Muslim but ethnically he's not a Malay but of Persian heritage
Chanchai,
We also know who's supporting the insurgents indirectly. Well the so called thai muslims can always cross over to malaysia to become constitutional malays.
Syed Hamid & Hisham got turkish heritage. I am very sure there are plenty of persians in Malaysia.....Constitutional malays mah
What can I say man? Don't mess with the Iban......Hahahaha

TurboGrafx 16, also known as PC Engine (Turbo Grafx 16) – the first 16-bit console that was released in October 30, 1987 in Japan by NEC. TurboGrafx 16 was really a new generation system with stunning performance at that time, and special cartridges "HuCards". PC Engine was extremely popular in Japan, dozens of times more than the Famicom. With its advanced graphics, the console dominated the Japanese market. Two years later, PC Engine started to be released in United States and there it was called TurboGrafx 16. NEC also was the first on the market, who started to release games on CDs, in which you could play using a special device – TurboGrafx CD. The console was even improved in Japan, however, only additional memory was added.
TurboGrafx 16 or just TG16 is a paradise for fans of shooters. Games such as: Blazing Lazers, Super Star Soldier, Parodius, Salamander, R-Type and Soldier Blade are the best of the genre. However, the amount of role-playing games was low and the best representatives of this genre were generally available only on CDs and mostly in Japanese language. Racing games were rare, however the best for TG16 were: Chase HQ, Final Lap Twin and a series of MotoRoader. With the arrival of CD-R drives and audio compression formats such as MP3 and OGG, on the internet began to appear CD-versions of games, characterized by excellent quality.
TurboGrafx 16 roms games and iso images can be downloaded for free on this page. Grab the emulator and play any game on your PC.

Home Entertainment Katie Couric's documentary Fed Up premieres at Sundance Film Festival
Katie Couric's documentary Fed Up premieres at Sundance Film Festival
Katie Couric's documentary Fed Up premiered Sunday at Sundance Film Festival.
Katie Couric linked up with An Inconvenient Truth producer producer Laurie David to make a film that explores the epidemic of childhood obesity and its not-so-obvious causes.
The 57-year-old TV anchor produced and narrates the film.
Katie Couric said she pitched Laurie David her idea over email, "and it took her about 10 seconds to say, <<I'm in>>."
She said documentaries "are replacing journalism in some cases" because budget cuts and a taste for quick news bites means "nobody invests the time to really investigate some of the biggest social issues".
"It's great to have the time and … to know that you don't have to turn it around in a day, a week or even a month," she said.
Katie Couric's documentary Fed Up premiered Sunday at Sundance Film Festival
"You have 93 minutes to really flesh out an issue that deserves that and then some. That is so liberating."
Fed Up, directed by Stephanie Soechtig, uses historical footage and news events to show the causes and costs of obesity in the US.
"This generation of children is the first to live a shorter life span than their parents, and it has ramifications in every aspect of our lives," Katie Couric said.
"Talk about skyrocketing health care costs: the obesity epidemic is behind these health care costs. And national security: these people are too heavy to join the military…. It affects so many aspects of our country's health that we really need to start paying attention."
Katie Couric said she hopes the film informs people and incites them to action so the food industry might become as accountable for its harmful products as the tobacco industry has.
"We really hope this is going to be a wakeup call," she said.
Katie Couric also plans to dig into social issues and talk with newsmakers and cultural leaders in her new gig at Yahoo, and she's not afraid to leave television behind.

es un personaje ficticio de videojuegos creado por SNK. Aunque es más conocido como peleador en la serie King of Fighters, su primera aparición fue en varios cortes de escena en Ikari III: The rescue. Debutó como personaje jugable en The King Of Fighters '94 en el equipo brasileño junto con Ralf Jones y Clark Steel. Mientras que su aspecto puede ser intimidante, Heidern es realmente un individuo tranquilo que aprecia profundamente a sus subordinados. Heidern es el comandante de los Ikari Warriors, y emite órdenes a su hija adoptiva Leona Heidern y a su mejores soldados: Clark Steel, Whip, y Ralf Jones.

Historia

En 1986 (ocho años antes de The King Of Fighters '94), Rugal Bernstein secuestro a su esposa Sandra y a su hija Clara, y lo retó a intentar rescatarlas. Heidern no tenía ninguna opción, él y sus hombres atacaron directamente a Rugal en su escondite: el inmenso Portaaviones Black Noah. Rugal asesinó a todos los hombres de Heidern el solo, y dejó a Heidern como último. Antes de que Rugal terminara con su vida, la familia de Heidern intervino, y se sacrificó para salvarlo. El incidente dejó a Heidern solo, y sin un ojo. Después de esto, la única misión de Heidern era buscar venganza.

Heidern encontró a Leona, como la única sobreviviente de una aldea destruida, una que ella misma destruyó durante una pesada misión en una selva desconocida. Él le hizo muchas preguntas, pero Leona no contestó ninguna. Al percatarse que era inútil seguir haciendo preguntas, Heidern decidió llevarla consigo a la base por el momento, hasta que pudiera enviarla a un orfanato. En una ocasión, cuando Heidern volvía de una misión, vio como Leona subía a un árbol muy alto solo con las manos. Sorprendido con esta exhibición de energía, pensó que sería mejor que la chica permaneciera con él y entrenarla como soldado. Inmediatamente, Leona comenzó su entrenamiento bajo órdenes de Heidern. Aprendió todas las técnicas de Heidern, debido a su capacidad increíble de cortar con sus manos. Heidern se sorprendía del progreso de Leona; era como si ella hubiera nacido para luchar. Heidern ama a Leona como su hija y, si bien la actitud de ambos aparenta ser totalmente profesional, se cuidan profundamente uno a otro.

Después de restablecer a su equipo, los Ikari Warriors, fue en busca de Rugal a conseguir su venganza.

Él es el creador de su propia arte marcial, que implica el corte con el uso de sus guantes afilados, que parecen guardar explosivos y una especie de generador de energía.

Junto a Ralph Jones y Clark Steel entran en el torneo del año 1994 para encontrar a Rugal Bernstein. Ante la explosión del Blacknoah, Heidern y sus hombres lo dan por muerto, pero Heidern sospecharía de la aparente muerte de Rugal hasta el año 1995 en el que se confirma que el magnate del crimen seguía vivo. Tras eso, Heidern regresaría en el torneo de King of Fighters para llegar a Rugal, junto con Ralph y Clark derrotan al equipo de Japón y posteriormente le da muerte a Rugal. Heidern se retira de las peleas, su venganza se había cumplido y su familia descansaría en paz.

En los siguientes años Heidern es sustituido por su hija Leona, él seguiría de cerca los eventos tomados en los torneos organizados por Chizuru Kagura sin entrar a fondo en el tema Orochi.

En el año 1999 Heidern recluta a Whip quien se uniría a los Ikari Warriors. Él desde su base rastreaba y tomaba control sobre su equipo y descubre un intento de conquista mundial de parte de Krizalid usando cientos de clones de Kyo Kusanagi. Heidern localiza los clones y los neutraliza. Posteriormente, recogería el cadáver de Krizalid y empezaría una investigación contra el cartel NESTS.

Durante el año 2000 el trabajó junto a su amigo cercano y segundo al mando Ling, pero este lo traiciona en medio del torneo y lo toma prisionero. Heidern descubre que Ling fue asesinado por Clone Zero y este tomó su apariencia para pasar inadvertido clonando a Ling para ayudarlo a activar el cañón Zero; justo antes de que Clone Zero activara el cañón, Heidern asesina al clon de Ling para evitar una tragedia mayor. Su impotencia fue grande al ver la ciudad de Southtown destruida y encontrar a Clone Zero muerto y los datos del proyecto tomados por alguien más.

En el año 2001, dada la destrucción de Southtown, regresa a la lucha junto a su equipo y es derrotado por el grupo de K'. Después, él y otros luchadores del torneo lucharían para detener a Igniz en su intento de convertirse en un dios.

Al caer NESTS, Heidern investigaría a alguien llamado Adelheid y Rose y algo relacionado con el Skynoah. Tras el torneo del año 2003 Heidern descubre que ellos son los hijos del fallecido Rugal Bernstein enterándose, además, de que Leona sufrió un ataque del disturbio de la sangre; al regresar Whip a su equipo la envía nuevamente junto a Ralph y Clark para averiguar más sobre Mukai y sus intenciones sobre Orochi.

En el KOF XI llega a enviar a Ralf, Clark y a Whip, nuevamente integrada al grupo, para ayudarles a investigar quién estaba detrás del torneo. En el final del torneo, Ralf, Clark y Whip llegan a llevarle a Heidern el cuerpo de Magaki, que fue traicionado por la misma Shion al no permitirle huir por el agujero de la dimensión a donde quería escapar, en una nave en altamar llamada Grigs el cual, descubrieron que el cadáver no es humano. Llegan a mostrar en público el cuerpo de Magaki que procederían a examinar, pero de repente, hubo un apagón, se le aparecen unas personas extrañas una llamada Shroom y una niña pequeña llamada Rimelo que se le aparece en frente y la ataca quitándole el parche, después se llevan el cuerpo de Magaki y al mismo tiempo, hundiendo la nave que lo transportaba el cuerpo desapareciendo de ellos. Después, llegando en un helicóptero Seth, Vanessa, Mary y Ramon son reclutados para la siguiente misión que darían testimonio de cómo derrotaron a Shion y Magaki.

Nuevamente en el KOF XIII enviaría a Clark a Ralf permitiendo nuevamente a Leona a participar en el torneo ya que una vez más irían a investigar quien era el que estaba detrás del torneo, mientras Heidern estaba investigando los fenómenos extraños que llegaban a pasar durante el torneo. Junto con sus hombres llegaron a notar que algo extraño había pasado y estaban investigándolo pero después del torneo descubren que se trataba nuevamente de algo relacionado con el poder Orochi. Tras la batalla de KOF, Heidern les asignó a Seth, Vanessa, Mary y Ramon una misión en búsqueda del clan de Orochi y a Ash Crimson infiltrándose en el estadio.

Heidern es informado por Adelheid de una instalación subterránea donde se realizará un ritual. Estando el equipo de Seth ahí, encuentran una máquina recopiladora de energía que abre fisuras espacio-tiempo, enfocándo todo a Ash Crimson.

Regresa a The King of Fighters XIV como el sexto personaje DLC en el paquete 2. También aparece en los finales del Ikari Team y K' Team.

En The King of Fighters XV está presente en la entrega oficial, formando equipo con las chicas nuevas: Isla y Dolores. Juntos conforman el Team Rival.
