You should decide how much you want to spend on a car before you start shopping. Give yourself a maximum price cap. This is the highest price you're willing to spend on a car. If you set yourself a budget, then it's easier to not be tempted and pay more.
Not every car has to be brand spanking new. Buying from a used car dealership is a great way to save money. A used car isn't any worse than a new car; it's just had a previous owner. Most used cars are going to be in great shape anyway. Don't be fooled into thinking that all used cars are rusty, old, heaps. A car released this year, but then sold by the owner, is still a used car. Sometimes people get into situations where they need money, so sell their car. You could snap up a deal on a fairly new car, for a cut-price!
Make sure you know all the car's details. This is especially important buying a used car. You'll want to know how many miles it's done beforehand. The more miles a car has driven, the cheaper it should be. It means that it's been used a lot more than a car with very few miles on the clock. You'll also need to check for any problems and see the history of the vehicle. You don't want to buy a car then end up spending extra fixing problems.
You should decide what kind of car you want before you go looking. Do you want a luxury sedan? Or an SUV? By deciding on what you want, you'll have a clear image in your head when you go to a dealer. If you turn up with no idea, they can easily convince you to get something you don't want, that's a little more expensive. It's so easy for a dealer to make you think you need a top of the range sports car if you go in with no idea what you want.
You should always negotiate when buying a car. Usually, the price set is just for legal purposes. You have to advertise something with a price. But, dealers are not always bound by that price. If a car is advertised at $10000, sometimes you can get it for cheaper. Try negotiating a price, give them your lowest possible offer and see how they react. If they agree to it then happy days! But more often or not they'll give you a counter offer. The aim is to try and haggle them to their lowest price possible. It might not always work, they may be stubborn and demand full price. However, there's no harm in trying.
Don't get ripped off when buying your new car. Pay attention the advice above and you could save thousands on your next car!

People of Balochistan are forced to take dirty water, says PSP chief

QUETTA (92 News) – Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chairman Mustafa Kamal has said that the people of Balcohistan are forced to take dirty water.
Addressing the workers' convention in Quetta on Friday, he said that 80 percent areas of Blaochistan are without electricity. "A majority of areas are without the gas supply," he said.
The PSP chief said that mortality rate among the children is on the rise due to substandard food and water. "A party winning the elections 11 times in the name of Mohajirs has failed badly," he said.
Mustafa Kamal asked the people to vote for him to end ethnic differences. "We had added billions of rupees to the national exchequer and had not looted a single rupee," he claimed.
He urged the state to pardon the estranged people and bring them to national mainstream. "I congratulate the people who gave the estranged people flowers after getting weapons from them," he observed.
The PSP chief requested the authorities to recover the missing people. He also demanded that Karachi-Quetta road should be made dual carriageway.
"Imran Khan had assumed the power in the name of the change, but inflation had increased since he assumed the power. The poor, not poverty, is being wiped out," he said.
He said that the PSP representatives would resolve the problems of the people.

Hidden Path is the acclaimed game developer that is perhaps best known for co-developing Counter Strike: Global Offensive alongside super-studio, Valve. With the advent of virtual reality, however, Hidden Path pivoted hard into the fledgeling industry with Defense Grid 2: Enhanced VR Edition – a launch title for the Oculus Rift. In an interview with UploadVR, Hidden Path CEO Jeff Pobst discussed the future of his studio and the current state of VR game making at this early point in the industry's life cycle.
Tying into this seismic shift for Hidden Path is the ambiguity that goes along with being a VR developer this early in the game. No sales numbers have been released yet for exactly how many headsets Oculus has sold, and the same is true for its chief rival – and fellow industry mainstay – the HTC Vive.
This group of "other people" is, according to Pobst, made up of the content arm of the Oculus brand – known as Oculus Studios – and "other publishing partners" from around the space. To put it simply, money is being funneled into studios like Hidden Path in order to entice them to make games for the new platforms, a concept we've reported on recently with regards to Serious Sam VR. Many have suspected that these funds are also being taken to offset the low sales numbers of a burgeoning market.
He does believe that demand is outstripping supply, and that the market will eventually strengthen, but for now, he is confirming what many have expected: If a studio truly wants to support itself solely on VR at this point, it is going to need outside support.

In what he learns instead is the fact that he will not live long enough to arrive in a new world. He's a drowning man. That's until one day, he finds the girl of his dreams and makes the terrible decision to awaken her. She's an accomplished journalist and has a story to tell, but will it involves Jim? Most likely not, but just what is love exactly?
Enough has been said about how this movie turns the growing romance into Stockholm syndrome — the captured eventually identifies and even loves the captor. Yes, this aspect makes this movie problematical, and subject to debate. But isn't that what a good movie should do? When it gets audiences talking, the question of morality can make for water cooler talk.
Jim is a troubled man. He's playing with fate and questions if he can play god or not. In doing so, is he a devil or simply a drowning man? Was his "love" genuine? I get the sense he did so out of not living the remainder of his life in utter despair. Many moralists will denounce him, and he's felt the guilt. Director Morten Tyldum did a great job in giving this actor the motivations required to make this story work.
While Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) is not as forgiving, their relationship is tempestuous when she learns how she was awakened early. I like her non-blockbuster film work more than those franchise products she's appeared in, namely X-Men and Hunger Games. The way she plays newly created characters have more substance to their development than a franchise one simply because there are other experiences for the performer to draw on to sell it.
While the film is nothing new, I thought it fell into exploring the Florence Nightingale effect too. The sci-fi romance was mediocre at best, but the action (when the captain wakes up) became derivative because the plot was too predictable. In order for the love to be true, somebody has to sacrifice him or herself to save the day. One song comes to mind after seeing this film. "You Can't Hurry Love" no matter how it comes to be. When a couple starts to question if their romance is genuine You Can't Buy Everything (1934) either. If there's supposed to be a moral to this film, it's to question every action you make — no matter what the decision, there are consequences.


In 2015, we left off with a December newsletter focusing on the ever-increasing democratization of the art world from the perspective of gallery owners and artists. But what about collectors? It seems that despite a number of positive changes to the dynamics of the art world, little has changed for the better for those looking to collect the art they love. At Art Represent, we've been racking our brains for ideas as to how we can allow a far broader range of collectors access to great art, and we're delighted to introduce our pay-in-instalments scheme, as well as an upcoming range of unlimited editions.

Culture Talk: Franklin Sirmans on Leading the Pérez Art Museum in Miami
by Victoria L. Valentine on Dec 5, 2015 • 8:39 am 1 Comment
SIX WEEKS INTO HIS TENURE as director of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), Franklin Sirmans is adapting to his new role at the museum and new expectations for Art Basel Miami Beach.
Previously, as department head and curator of contemporary art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), he could duck in and out of exhibitions, fairs and parties, a visitor to Miami quickly navigating the citywide bonanza. This year, Sirmans is serving as a host and ambassador, a newly minted leader in Miami's burgeoning arts community.
Named director of PAMM on Sept. 3, Sirmans officially joined the museum on Oct. 15. The announcement capped a significant period in his career. In June, Sirmans mounted "Noah Purifoy: Junk Dada" at LACMA. Currently on view, it is the first monographic museum exhibition of Purifoy, the late assemblage artist, social worker, and co-founder of the Watts Towers Arts Center.
Last fall, Sirmans presided over Prospect.3 in New Orleans where he served as artistic director. The American biennial (now triennial) allowed him to execute his curatorial vision on a large scale. Spread throughout the city, he says the three-month exhibition gave him a chance to work with dozens of artists who currently excite him and that the programming, fundraising, and community overtures it involved helped to prepare him for his appointment at PAMM.
I spoke to Sirmans over Thanksgiving weekend. He generously phoned while he was traveling from Washington, D.C., where he spent the holiday, back to Miami. Over the course of three abbreviated calls, he discussed his transition from writing to curating, Jean-Michel Basquiat, synergy with his new curatorial team, and his fondness for Miami and the opportunities it presents.
CULTURE TYPE: How did the PAMM appointment come about? Were you seeking a new opportunity or were you approached?
FRANKLIN SIRMANS: Last summer, there were a lot of positions open and there are only so many firms that work with the institutions on those searches. I was well aware of what searches were coming up and what was happening. From looking at that, it seemed to me to be an interesting time for change. You can see it in the hiring that they did in Brooklyn, Detroit and Atlanta. You can see it probably in my hiring in Miami. It's a different moment for museum leadership in this country. So I was aware. It wasn't that I was seeking out something, but I was certainly aware of the conversations.
"It's a different moment for museum leadership in this country. So I was aware. It wasn't that I was seeking out something, but I was certainly aware of the conversations." — Franklin Sirmans
[In May, the Brooklyn Museum announced its new director is Anne Pasternak. The High Museum in Atlanta chose Randall Suffolk to serve as its new director in July. Salvador Salort-Pons was named director, president and CEO of the Detroit Institute of the Arts in September.]
You've worked in places where the location—Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans—is central to the identity and culture. How are you thinking about this position in terms of the place, being in Miami?
To me, it's completely integral. Miami represents an incredible opportunity in that it is a city that is rapidly changing, rapidly growing. Its foundation is a world of museums that is very young so it presents an incredible opportunity in terms of defining how a museum functions and what a museum might be to a given community. I find that to be incredibly exhilaratingly interesting.
It is an interesting time in Miami, but also for museums in general as institutions try to figure out a 21st century model that prioritizes exhibitions, programming and education, but also is mindful of the need to draw in audiences and generate revenue.
In a broad sense, part of what a museum can be in this moment is much more than what it has been in the past. It can be more to more people, perhaps. With our focus on education, which is huge, we bring in almost 100,000 kids a year through the school system in Miami-Dade County. (Next to the school system in Miami-Dade, we are the biggest in terms of providing any sort of arts education to students.) Taking advantage of that positioning, taking advantage of the fact that education has become a much more important focal point of the museum, in general, and leading from that standpoint, not having 100 years of baggage of something else, that is our beginning.
That is where we come from. We come as much from being an education place as being an entertainment place. So we want to capitalize on that and also have the museum be a place for dialogue in a city where that could be a really instrumental part of its civic nature.
"We want to capitalize on [being an education place and an entertainment place] and also have the museum be a place for dialogue in a city where that could be a really instrumental part of its civic nature."
— Franklin Sirmans
You have been a writer/editor, a curator, and now you are taking on a director role at a museum. What is your comfort zone and how will your diverse work background inform your leadership at PAMM?
I think about Charles Wright in New York at DIA. Michael Govan at DIA. Josef Helfenstein at the Menil Collection in Houston and Michael Govan, again, in L.A. at LACMA. I've been fortunate to work with people who represent what you just said, who come from a place where writing is important—the organization of ideas. A place where making exhibitions is important. A place where knowing how art work plays with any given space is important.
Being able to articulate what those things can mean in a broader picture for a given place and time is something that I've seen at work and something that I seek to emulate in my new role. I think all of those things are important as far as directing goes. We can use all of those things as assets in order to make a museum where people feel like they have a real stake.

Let's talk about art. PAMM received a $1 million grant in September 2013 for African American art acquisitions. Has all of the money been spent? What was acquired and how much of a priority is African American art in terms of expanding PAMM's collection?
Not all of it has been spent out. Some significant acquisitions have been made, people like Ed Clark, like Terry Adkins. Most recently, there is a Nari Ward work that is in our great traveling exhibition ["Nari Ward: Sun Splashed"] that we were able to acquire. And there are others. I don't have everything in front of me right now, but there are others. There have been significant acquisitions. The fund comes half from the Knight Foundation and half from Jorge Perez. That was one way to inject the idea of wanting to support, all across the board, a different representation of Miami, one that is reflective of Miami.
"There have been significant acquisitions [of African American art]. The fund comes half from the Knight Foundation and half from Jorge Perez. That was one way to inject the idea of wanting to support, all across the board, a different representation of Miami, one that is reflective of Miami." — Franklin Sirmans
[PAMM purchased "Homeland Sweet Homeland," 2012 by Nari Ward in June 2015 with funds provided by Jorge M. Pérez, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the PAMM Ambassadors for African American Art.]
In discussing the collection in previous interviews, you have mentioned a focus on Latin American art.
The natural focus for us comes from our region and I think that is true no matter where you are. You should first and foremost rep where you are, right? We have work that is going to be reflective of where we are and where we exist and I don't think that anybody can present the work of Latin America and the Caribbean in a way that's better than we can.
The Noah Purify exhibition at LACMA was quite an achievement, organized in the right place, seemingly at the right time coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Watts Riots. In your catalog essay, you note that you first thought about doing such a show in 2008 when you were at the Menil Collection, which is in Houston, before you knew you would land in Los Angeles.
There is a reason for the Houston connection.
Walter Hopps? Yes.
Were you initially thinking you would organize it in Houston, because it seems serendipitous that you would end up in Los Angeles?
I was thinking that it would happen in Houston at first, but I couldn't get it together in time. I couldn't get it the right way. In Houston, in some ways it was about the peers. It was about taking a snapshot of L.A. at a given time and Hopps was a big part of that. Of course, another person who was a big part of that was [Edward] Kienholz who we have represented so well at the Menil Collection. It was about those factors and what happened for me, what made it easy to get to the monographic exhibition, was that Kelli Jones allowed me to explore that initial territory in a long essay on Walter Hopps for her catalog for "Now Dig This!" And obviously Pacific Standard Time took the wind out of my sails on any exhibition that would be about Southern California at that time.
"I was thinking that [the Noah Purifoy exhibition] would happen in Houston at first, but I couldn't get it together in time. I couldn't get it the right way." — Franklin Sirmans
[Walter Hopps is a renowned curator who co-founded the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles and worked at what was then called the Pasadena Art Museum before moving on to other roles around the country, including key posts at the Menil Collection that overlapped with Sirmans' tenure there. Sirmans opens the "Now Dig This!" essay by stating that Hopps must play a central role in any discussion about modern and contemporary art in Los Angeles.]

But you did end up in L.A., where you organized the Purifoy exhibition at LACMA. For you, where does it stand in terms of all of the other work you have done?
There is always a curatorial balance that we seek to find. And it's also the same sort of balance we seek to find as museum directors in between the monographic and the thematic, the group versus the individual. Purifoy was one of those people, because of how interesting I thought his biography was—in addition to the interesting work that so many people had not seen—it made it a really important and significant individual artist that I wanted to explore further. And then after Pacific Standard Time and seeing him in all of those group shows, it really became apparent, not only to me, but to everyone at the museum, that now was the perfect time to do a monographic exhibition of Purifoy.
"After Pacific Standard Time and seeing him in all of those group shows, it really became apparent, not only to me, but to everyone at [LACMA], that now was the perfect time to do a monographic exhibition of [Noah] Purifoy." — Franklin Sirmans
In retrospect, and only in partial retrospect because the show goes to the Wexner [Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio] next month, I realize you can't always balance current events against the exhibitions that you seek to do. In this case, it would've been a different show 10 years ago. It would have been a different show 10 years from now. But with the events of the last year, in particular, I think it had a real peculiar and strong resonance as being part of a contemporary dialogue, although the artist is no longer with us.
When you reference what's happened in the past year, are you talking about social justice and issues with police?
Absolutely. Absolutely. [Purifoy] was the nexus of those things. He wanted to make his art and he wanted to also be a proponent of social justice and so he worked as both a social worker and then an artist and then as an advocate as well.
Mark Bradford's Art + Practice is presenting a John Outterbridge exhibition opening Dec. 12 (curated by the Hammer Museum). Outterbridge was Purifoy's peer, a fellow Los Angeles-based assemblage artist. Have you discussed the two exhibitions?
At an earlier point, I am sure we did. Purifoy exhibited at the Brockman Gallery that is basically right down the street from Art + Practice, so I am sure that we talked about it. Plus, there was a conversation in Houston with Rick Lowe, Mark and Theaster Gates that I remember because that conversation happened before Art + Practice existed and happened in the hometown of Project Row, which is also such an inspirational point for the show.
I was talking to all of them, even thinking about Prospect and talking to Rick early on especially with his knowledge of New Orleans. I was talking with Theaster about what he has done with Dorchester Projects. And Mark already having exhibited a very poignant work at the first Prospect, he was one of the first people I talked to when I first took on that position.
In terms of your trajectory, do you think taking on Prospect was an essential experience that helped prepare you to transition from serving as a curator to directing a museum?
Yeah. I think it was a great experience and certainly added another layer and another point of reference for me to then consider the directorial position. Without a doubt. With its combination of working within the community—I think we had 18 venues—and a lot of fundraising efforts that were combined between myself and Brook Davis Anderson [executive director of Prospect.3]. It absolutely was a great, I don't want to call it a stepping stone but it definitely was a great experience that I believe has helped me or will help me in the director position.

Growing up in Harlem, your father collected art—Palmer Hayden, Ed Clark, Hale Woodruff, Edward Bannister. But you had no interest in art until you discovered Jean-Michel Basquiat, who bridged the gap between what was happening in the streets and what you experienced with your father at the Studio Museum in Harlem. How do you feel about Basquiat now, 30 years later, with your formal experience and perspective in the art world?
The Basquiat Notebooks exhibition is coming to PAMM next summer in August. I have to say, it was one of many exhibitions that I was really excited about. In addition to how I feel about the city of Miami, the warmth of it, the place of it, getting back to the East Coast, the possibilities that exist here, getting the opportunity to work with the communities that exist here and the people who have already made a foundation here, albeit a young foundation. In addition to that, the programming that exists right now, the foundation that has been set in programming by Tobias Ostrander, our chief curator, made me feel really a part of that conversation.
They had the Ai Weiwei exhibition that opened. That's an artist I've worked with. Firelei Báez is up right now, an artist I worked with in New Orleans. Nari Ward just opened, an artist I've known my entire working career. I was an intern at the Studio Museum when he was in the Artist-in-Residence program. Doris Solcedo comes up after Nari's exhibition and that's a show that we almost brought to L.A. She's an artist I actually brought here to Miami in 2009 [in the group show "NeoHooDoo: Art for a Forgotten Faith"]. After that comes Basquiat.
There is that overall program and that sense of "Ah, I understand this program. I can see it very clearly." And Basquiat is a big part of that. I contributed to the catalog for Brooklyn and I also contributed to the catalog for Toronto, the one that just ended in Bilbao ["Now's the Time" ]. He's an artist I will never forget. I will always feel like there is something new to say about Basquiat, especially with the dearth of more focused exhibitions, which is what this Notebooks show represents.
"I will always feel like there is something new to say about Basquiat, especially with the dearth of more focused exhibitions, which is what "[The Unknown] Notebooks" show represents." — Franklin Sirmans
Who are the artists that excite you now?
Prospect was a big part of being able to work through that question. Theaster [Gates] is somebody who I think is an artist of the 21st century. He thoroughly excites me within this moment. At the same time, I can think of a younger painter, like Hayal Pozanti, who I think is amazing and works between representation and abstraction in a way that is always quite fluid and super interesting. Sterling Ruby super excites me. I just finished a big essay on him.
There are so many, but you know, at this point, I also feel like I am in a different place and it's a different moment and in some ways being able to work on Prospect and get out some of those desires, to work with some of those artists, was really awesome.
I have an incredible team to work with here. Curators that I've known and admired. So I am excited to see what artists they are excited about and I am sure I'll be excited about them, too.
In your new director role, how much of a challenge is it going to be for you to pivot away from a focus on curating?
I still have Toba Khedoori at LACMA next fall and we will see what kind of traveling we can cook up for that. Aside from that, there's always a big long list and some of those artists would probably fit into the conversation super well here in Miami. Those probably will happen in some way or the idea of them will be seen. Others you save for another place, another time, or they become things that you are able to expound upon or expand upon in another format.
For me, right now, it's not my primary concern. Between working with the curators, between exhibitions and acquisitions, and programs, that's part of the reason I think they wanted me to come to Miami and why I wanted to be in Miami. There are a lot of links between artists that I have been thinking of or will be thinking of and artists that our curators will be thinking of. So there's going to be a lot of synergy. There already is.
Do you collect catalogs? What is your relationship with art books?
I have too many. I try to prune every now and then.
What are your go-to resources? What's on your ideal bookshelf?
Monographs, group exhibitions, criticism. I return to Peter Schjeldahl. I return to Henry Geldzahler. I return to Frank O'Hara, both creatively and nonfiction. From a critical point of view those are interesting to me, in addition to so many peers that I can't even go on.
The catalog for "Noah Purifoy: Junk Dada" includes a series of photographs created at the artist's desert studio especially for the exhibition.
When you are working on a catalog, how do you think about it in terms of the design, content, and contributors? What do you want to accomplish with your exhibition catalogs?
Sometimes it's more than an extension of an exhibition. I think that between scholarship and entertaining, catalogs are another vehicle to provide information. That's what I've thought about. I've been fortunate to work with some great editors and some great designers and publishers.
With the Purifoy catalog it does one thing. The next Purifoy catalog will do something else. Prospect did one thing, and it could have been different, but it gave everybody a couple of pages with images and it gave some voices a chance to think a little more abstractly around the work. That was what I wanted to do. Oh, and the other big thing about Prospect was that we must have engaged about 30 young curators and thinkers to do the writing—people who at the beginning of their careers. That was crucial. It really enlightened me and I hope it enlightened other people in the process.
Do you think much about the design? When you begin a catalog project do you have an idea of what you would like it to do visually?
I have been fortunate. I have a great designer who can think through anything. And that's where I feel most complementary because they have their thing and they have their style and then we are working in conversation and in collaboration and that's how we got to Purifoy. That's of course with one of the great designers there is—with Lorraine Wild.
I guess each catalog is a little bit different. One of the things with Purifoy was that the existing photography before our exhibition was not great. So we took the opportunity to go to the genesis of the latter part of his life. And that meant doing a big portfolio of images by an incredible photographer [Fredrik Nilsen] who spent time out in the desert overnight to capture the work in situ—where Purifoy spent his last 20 years working—in varying degrees of light. That was the important part.
Whereas with Prospect everything is just an existing image, if I remember correctly, I didn't believe in waiting for the exhibition to open and then do the photography. I wanted to have the catalog there when we opened.
I must say the "Basquiat and the Bayou" catalog is something that I was really proud to be a part of, having one of the first professors who really engaged Basquiat's work in a way that was expansive in terms of locating the work in a much broader world history (Robert Farris Thompson). And then to have Robert O'Meally, who was one of my first professors freshman year at Wesleyan contribute was really a treat.
You began your career at art publications. When you were at Wesleyan, and you majored in English and art history, were you thinking you would pursue writing or become a curator?
It was more about writing. It was definitely more about writing and when I worked at DIA, I worked in the publications department not in the curatorial department.
Franklin Sirmans served as artistic director of "Prospect.3," which was held in New Orleans from Oct. 25, 2015-Jan. 25, 2016. He says it was important that the catalog be available at the beginning of Prospect, rather than be delayed in order to have installation images of the exhibitions appear in the book.
What brought about the change?
I think it was a combination of factors. The writing could only do so much for me at that time in terms of paying the rent. Also, there was a certain point where the writing and the teaching collided. I did a class on criticism once. That class went back to the late 19th century to the present—literally from talking about criticism at a very early point, then going forward to having studio visits by the end of the class with living artists. There was a desire at some point to see the work physically and be able to move the work around physically. Not only to talk about Picasso's influences from African art, but what do they really look like. There was that desire to be closer to the objects than you are from the writing point of view.
"There was a desire at some point to see the work physically, Not only to talk about Picasso's influences from African art, but what do they really look like. There was that desire to be closer to the objects than you are from the writing point of view." — Franklin Sirmans
The other thing was working at Flash Art and trying to edit these pieces where it was like, well, it's one thing to do a monographic article, now what does it mean? Flash Art was one of those places where they pushed for the identification of trends. You would try and get people to write four and five articles all addressing a similar theme, as though there were some zeitgeist every two months, when the magazine came out, which isn't necessarily true, but it was the attempt. Also, they were very, very, geographically inclined. We would do a report from Korea. We would do a report from Istanbul, before that was a regular part of all of the art magazines like it is now. Being in Italy [working at Flash Art] from 1996 to 1998 when all of those biennials happened was probably something that led to curating when I got back to New York after that experience.
How will Art Basel be different for you this year, since you are living in Miami now and running a major museum in the city?
(Laughs.) It is going to be so different. I can't get in and get out. Instead of it being a quick fast-paced thing, it's going to be a slower sort of thing. I plan to be at the museum a lot and I am looking forward to greeting people. Last time, I was on the other side. We have great shows up, so I am looking forward to people coming to see them. CT

Live At The Greek is a live album by Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes.
It was recorded at the Greek Theatre, Los Angeles on the 18th and 19th October 1999 and released in February 2000.
This has live versions songs from the great studio album Physical Graffiti which don't feature on any of Led Zep's official live albums from the 1970s.
I'm not expecting it to get many votes.
This album is included in the poll to find the best heavy metal live album.

The Tempest is one of two brews currently offered by Shakesbeer.Shakesbeer
When you name your company Shakesbeer, you're bound to be approached by theater-loving aesthetes dropping their favorite lines.
"It's almost constant," says Mike Sartor, who along with his wife, Jessie, founded the Hingham-based Shakesbeer Beverages company last year. "It keeps me on my toes to make sure I've got the right street cred."
The couple met at Colgate, where Jessie was an English major and Mike was "a guy who liked beer a lot." She wrote an honors thesis on the women in William Shakespeare's plays. Like many other folks who start their own breweries, he's an avid homebrewer who has decided to strike out on his own.
Shakesbeer currently makes two beers.
The company introduces Act 1, a hazy, 5.5 percent ABV New England-style IPA, on its website with a verse:
"From grains of olde and hops of new; Our maiden Taming of the Brew; With golden hue and citrus air; An ale refined with modern flair."
A stronger IPA, The Tempest, is named after one of the British playwright's well-known works.
"Maybe I'm a nerdy pun guy, but I really liked Shakesbeer as a brand for a long time," says Sartor, who points to the accessibility of Shakespeare's plays as a link with beer's reputation as a drink for the common man or woman. "Maybe it was low-hanging fruit."
All of this might not work if the beer wasn't any good. At 7.7 percent ABV, The Tempest features 6 hop varieties but drinks like a much lighter brew, with pops of grapefruit and orange peel and a subtle bitterness representative of the style. (The Brewers Association, a trade organization representing small and independent brewers, just officially recognized "Juicy or Hazy Pale Ale," "Juicy or Hazy IPA" and "Juicy or Hazy Double IPA" as official styles to be judged in competitions, so expect to see even more of these beers in the coming year). Strip out the literary references and The Tempest is an above-average IPA, worth seeking out regardless of whether you've seen a Shakespeare-in-the-park production of "Othello."
Shakesbeer doesn't have a physical brewery. Sartor currently brews at Shebeen Brewing Co. in Wolcott, Conn. He's moving a portion of that production to Ipswich in the coming months, and someday the couple would like to open up their own shop in Hingham. The company's third beer, a hoppy pale ale brewed with lemon zest and aptly named A Midsummer Night's Dream, will be released May 1.

METRIEN-1 - powerful anabolic and androgenic steroid from the Indian pharmaceutical company Global Anabolic. The main active ingredient - methyltrienolone . Form release METRIEN-1 - 100 tablets of 1 mg. methyltrienolone structurally resembles trenbolone, a well-known and potent androgen which does not aromatize (ie, does not exhibit estrogenic activity). The only difference is the oral form of the drug active substance in the presence of 17-alpha-methyl group that protects methyltrienolone from degradation while passing through the liver, but nevertheless has a serious toxic effect.
The steroid was developed in Europe, the company that previously held the production of trenbolone. However, the drug has not been approved for mass production, because of alleged high hepatotoxicity. It was believed that the degree of impact on the liver methyltrienolone is the sum of Anadrol and Halotestin. However, reliable research data can not be found.
Course METRIEN-1 is not recommended to minors athletes, and is strictly forbidden to use women as a high androgenic activity. The recommended dose is 1 mg oral medication daily for two to three weeks. A tightening cycle is fraught with liver disease.
As for how to take the METRIEN-1 in combination with other anabolic and androgenic steroids, it is strictly not recommended to include in the course of oral medications. The best solution is not receiving AAC and appropriate sports nutrition, vitamins (eg, B6) and means to protect the liver. It is recommended to use alpha-lipoic acid and milk thistle.
Side effects METRIEN-1 On account of the extent and frequency of adverse reactions caused by the steroid controversy sharpened this day. Many athletes find a high level of danger oral Tren Tubbs for granted and do not even doubt it is subjected. At the same time, there are publications, claiming that the side effects of METRIEN-1 too exaggerated, and opinions about the alleged steroid 1,000 times more powerful than testosterone levels do not correspond to reality. In general, the reality is that a strong research and evidence in a given pharmacological agent there (largely "due to" the fact that the steroid has not been recognized as a medical drug).
Most often in the course of METRIEN-1 is an increased aggression and blood pressure, hair loss, insomnia, acne, and increase in oily skin. Given the high degree of suppression of natural testosterone, a steroid can cause lethargy erection and testicular atrophy. To prevent such reactions using gonadotropin or cabergoline (reception should start from the second week of the course and continue to the end).

If you have just purchased a brand new office space and are moving some of the furniture from your old location as well as purchasing new items, you should hire office furniture installers to take care of the job for you so that it does not need to fall on your shoulders. Relocating an office to a new building is difficult enough, but when you rely on corporation relocation companies, they can handle both the move and the office furniture installation process upon arriving at your new space. You will find that because of office furniture installers, it will become a whole lot easier for you to concentrate on getting your business up and running, rather than worrying about rearranging the furniture.
The best office furniture installers will make sure that even the most complicated office installations are completed with grace. Their office furniture services will extend far so that you can literally just give your input regarding where you would like to see things placed and then answer a few questions as the office installation services find the need to ask. Because of this, you will be able to start conducting business again right away, even if it is not at full capacity.
The longer your company is in limbo, the more money is lost. However, if you hire professional help, this does not have to be the case. Instead, the grunt work and arranging can be someone else's responsibility while you focus on your business.

Q: JsQRCode reader not working properly I am using JSQRCode JS library to decode QR codes.
I found that it works just fine if I take pictures of the QR code from really close.
If I take the picture from a bit farther it is not able to decode the code.
NOTE: The code-decoding library is used within a Sencha Touch 2 app. The picture is taken using the Ext.device.Camera API that gives access to the phone camera.
Has anybody had similar problems?
Any possible solution or alternative way to reach the goal (taking picture + QR decoding)?
Any suggestion/comment is very appreciated!
Thank you very much!
Here is the code I'm running:
Ext.device.Camera.capture({
success: function(fileURI) {
        // reassigning for test purposes
        //fileURI = './resources/images/qrTemp.png';

        console.log('Camera Success');
    var imageView = Ext.getCmp('cameraImg');
    imageView.setSrc(fileURI);

        qrcode.decode(fileURI);
},
failure: function() {
    console.log('Camera failure');
},
quality: 100,
source: 'camera'

}, /*scope*/ this, /*destination*/ 'file', /*encoding*/ 'png');

...

qrcode.callback = function(data){
window.alert('QRCode callback: '+ data);
};

UPDATE: just found out the problem is that the camera API from sencha touch is returning a very small image (although supposed to return a bigger one), so the code reader lib is not able to decode!
Anyone has faced this Sencha Touch problem?

Q: PostgreSQL: Can't get timezones with DST to work properly I'm trying to figure out how Postgres handles DST in combination with intervals. Specifically I want to allow my users to create events with recurring dates - e.g. everyday at 16:00 local time.
For what I'm doing I need to store the first date in the user's local time, and then add a number of days to it, without changing the time of day in the user's local time. I was hoping that timestamptz with a full timezone name (so it knows when to apply DST?) combined with simple 1 day intervals would do the job - but it fails at my simple example:
Germany uses CET (+1:00) and switches to CEST (+2:00) at 2:00 in the morning on March 28.
Tunesia uses CET all year.
Thus I expected, that using a timestamptz on March 27 and adding 1 day to it, I'd see a different utc-offset in Berlin, and no change in Tunis - but they both changed the offset equally, as if Tunis was using DST:
select
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Africa/Tunis'::timestamptz as "tunis_before_dst",
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Africa/Tunis'::timestamptz + INTERVAL '1 day' as "tunis_after_dst",
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Europe/Berlin'::timestamptz as "berlin_before_dst",
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Europe/Berlin'::timestamptz + INTERVAL '1 day' as "berlin_after_dst"

results in:
tunis_before_dst: '2021-03-27 16:00:00+01'
tunis_after_dst: '2021-03-28 16:00:00+02'
berlin_before_dst: '2021-03-27 16:00:00+01'
berlin_after_dst: '2021-03-28 16:00:00+02'

Looking through pg_timezone_names, I can see that my Postgres instance is aware of Africa/Tunis not having DST - so I'm wondering why it's changing the UTC offset for it then.
I guess it's obvious that timezones and DST are very confusing to me, but am I doing something wrong handling them or is timezonetz not what I think it is?

A: Rant first. The concept of DST is breathtaking nonsense. Even the name is obvious BS. "Daylight Saving Time". No daylight has been saved. I can't believe the EU still did not manage to get rid of it, even though the overwhelming majority wants it gone, and it's been consensus to scrap it for a while now.
With that out of my system, the primary misunderstanding is this: you assume that the data type timestamp with time zone would store time zone information. It does not. Becomes obvious here:

Thus I expected, [...] I'd see a different utc-offset in Berlin, and no change in
Tunis - but they both changed the offset equally

The time zone offset you see in the output is the offset determined by the current timezone setting of your session. Time zone serves as input / output modifier / decorator. Postgres always stores UTC time internally. And no time zone information whatsoever.
The type name is a bit deceiving there. It has been known to fool the best:

*

*Time zone storage in data type "timestamp with time zone"
Once you've grasped that concept, the rest should become obvious.
To preserve the local time (wall clock time of day), use the data type  timestamp without time zone (timestamp), or even just time (never use the broken timetz), and store time zone information additionally - ideally the time zone name ('Europe/Berlin' like you have it), not a time zone abbreviation or a numeric offset.
timestamp with time zone (timestamptz) is the right choice to store unique points in time, independent of any time zones. The time zone offset is just an input modifier. Both of the following literals result in the same timestamptz value exactly, because both time zones happen to apply the same offset at this time of the year:
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Africa/Tunis'::timestamptz
'2021-03-27 16:00:00 Europe/Berlin'::timestamptz

But these differ by one hour, because the German offset has changed according to the local DST regime:
'2021-03-28 16:00:00 Africa/Tunis'::timestamptz
'2021-03-28 16:00:00 Europe/Berlin'::timestamptz

House Democrats Easily Pass Historic Marijuana Decriminalization Bill, But Senate Runoff Elections Loom Large
Alberto LuperonDec 4th, 2020, 3:33 pm
The House passed the MORE Act, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (pictured above) is an opponent of marijuana legalization.
With more and more states decriminalizing recreational use of marijuana, it's becoming a question of when, not if, the federal government ever follows suit. The House of Representatives took a major step on Friday, with a roughly party-line vote to pass the "MORE" Act.
This bill emphatically walks back the U.S. government's hardline stance on marijuana as a controlled substance, saying high-arrest rates from the "War on Drugs" disproportionately affected people of color despite equal rates of use with white people.
"People of color have been historically targeted by discriminatory sentencing practices resulting in Black men receiving drug sentences that are 13.1 percent longer than sentences imposed for White men and Latinos being nearly 6.5 times more likely to receive a Federal sentence for cannabis possession than non-Hispanic Whites," the bill's introduction said.
As part of the proposed change, the bills makes efforts to better regulate and support legal cannabis businesses, collect a 5-percent federal tax on cannabis products to be used in a trust fund to support communities impacted by the War on Drugs, and expunge or review convictions for certain federal cannabis offenses.
The MORE Act handily passed the House 228 to 164 with 38 of representatives not voting, but it was almost completely among party lines. Only five Republicans, including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida, 1st District), supported the measure. Former GOP Rep. Justin Amash (I-Michigan, 3rd District). In comparison, only six of the 164 opposing votes were Democrats.
Circumstances may well change after the upcoming Senate runoffs in Georgia, but it is still the 116th Congress, and the GOP still maintains their 52-48 majority in the upper chamber. It is unlikely to even get to a vote before the new Congress on January 3. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has long dismissed reform for recreational cannabis usage.

Stephanie Plum might not be the world's greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she's being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college—and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks.
As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve.
Amazing story line
It's been a while since I read Stephanie Plum book and I enjoyed this one as. Ugh as I enjoyed the other ones I've read. She's as cookie as ever and ai guess her lift will always s include Ranger and her boyfriend. I was glad that their relationship had progressed to to them living together.
The things that happen to Stephanie Plum are quite amusing. It's a happy read. You aren't afraid to turn the page. I like this character. She has spunk.
I love this series. This one actually had me laughing out loud. I have the audiobook. It's a riot while I drive
I have read all twenty two books in this series and still enjoy them. Lula still makes me laugh out loud.
Stephanie Plum is at her finest once again...if she wasn't so serious about her job and the calamities that follow her wherever she goes, these books would seem just plan crazy. As it is, Ms Evanovich has a true gift for weaving hilarity into the most mundane occurrences. I truly enjoy the by play between Ranger and Stephanie and then she and Morelli...it's just plain fun that she's so torn between the two, yet they each work their own special charms...a.k.a. magic on her. Now the wait commences for the next Stephanie Plum installment.
OMG. just finished reading the book. Tears drying on my cheeks,laughter. Will be thinking of story for days and Giggling. Thanks , great book. Mary
Very disappointing. I think this will be my last book to buy in the series.
The best one yet, I've read them all.
The only reason that I finished this novel is that I paid for it. Foolish me. It is very poorly written; the grammar is deplorable. I don't understand how this book is # 1 on the best seller list.
I'm a big fan of the series and was excited when the newest was released. Even from the first few chapters it was clear this newest Plum installment was not up to par. Unimaginative and tired, the plot wasn't pulpy...it wasn't even juicy. Just boring. Bummer--I wanted to love it.
Entertaining but not her best effort. Far too much of Lula's nonsense in this book. Less Lula next time please.
Stephanie and her colorful cast of characters are doing what they do best and even going beyond. Always a good read with good laughs and feels like time spent with a few old friends!
Love that Stephanie's mom got in on the action.

In a city of over 20 million, you're bound to come across some pretty stellar street art. Here's a sampling of the best Shanghai street art.
Street art has absolutely taken over parts of Shanghai, China, particularly the areas surrounding Moganshan Road, a gallery hub that attracts the visually creative people of the city's 20 million-plus residents.
While some of Shanghai's most thought-provoking graffiti — a response to the demolition of older architecture — was scrubbed away by the Chinese government in January 2015, there is still much to see along the streets of the city's older neighborhoods.

A ranking of the life simulators I have on my phone.
By Joel, 7 June, 2019
So I have three life simulation games on my phone, bitlife, alter ego, and the life simulator, Yes, that really is the name of the game.
So in the first place there is bitlife. Bitlife has the best interface and it is very funny at times. You can do a lot of things and the constant updates make it the best.
Next, we have alter ego. Alter ego is a good game, but nowhere as good as bitlife. You can control a lot of things about your life, but you can't get a pet, get surgery, go to the movies, or do a lot of the things you can do in bitlife.
In last place, we have the life simulator. It's a good concept, I'll give it that, but it does not have a very good interface, it takes a long time to even complete one year, and overall the game seems unpolished.
If you know of any other accessible life simulator games, let me know. Also make sure to comment your rankings of these games or any games you may have
I have alter ego and bitlife,
I have alter ego and bitlife, but I'm not sure which one is better. Alter Ego is better if you haven't played in a while and have a lot of time, but bitlife can get boring after a while if you're just sitting there playing for more than an hour. A game I wish was accessible is Instlife. Everyone is trying to argue that bitlife is a copy of instlife or the other way around, but I've watched videos of people playing it and they're not really the same. You can do different stuff in instlife, like have art lessons or sports lessons, and earn money by selling paintings and releasing albums. Also I'm pretty sure there's more stats and it's organized more into tabs.
Instlife
By Joel
Yeah, if that game was accessible it would be nice. However, I don't think it can be made accessible because of its very visual nature.
By Ornella
Now that I have bitlife I kind of hate alter ego now. I might take it off my phone some day since I haven't played in a long time. And they don't update that game anyways.
By Zoe Victoria
In reply to Alter ego by Ornella
Personally I don't really like alterego. The genders are very steriotypical, just let me be my tomboy self for goodness sake! It also shames you for picking certain choices and pretty much everyone is a jerk or a pervert. Your mother leaves you in the kitchen alone so you could get poisoned, or even if you don't she still scolds you for playing somewhere you shouldn't even though that never would have happened had she done what my mother did and put a baby gate on the door. I could provide more examples, but I think I'll stop here.
About alter ego
You've got to remember that alter ego is a port of an 80s game of the same name. Certain things, like gender stariotypes were normal in the 80s and therefor they are in the game.
Re: About Alter Ego
In reply to About alter ego by Joel
I know that, and I'm not blaming the IOS devs for that. I'm just expressing my opinion. AND I'm pretty sure they did have baby gates when this game was released so there's really no excuse for the poison thing. It was all the parents, not me. I was just doing what babies are prone to do.
they purposely didn't put those in. That scenario is made to be used to raise your intelligence.
Wait a minute
By Bingo Little
Gender stereotypes normal in the 80s? I love this comment - it makes the 1980s sound like the 1950s! It's nonsense though, I'm afraid. There were many things about the 1980s which were different. TV sitcoms were of a higher quality (this is the UK I'm talking about), you had to wait four weeks to have a telephone installed, and five gold medals at a summer Olympics was considered a very good performance by the British Olympic Association. But I do not recall any gender stereotypes except in Enid Blyton books, and she was writing in the 40s. That was another thing about the 80s - I don't recall children's programmes having the degree of soul-searching in them as they do now, The Story of Tracy Beaker and all that is far more geared towards social responsibility than was, say, Grange Hilll.
my two cents on this toic
By treky fan
I started playin alter eggo back in 2006 using the web browser based version during the days of good old windows xp. How I miss that ralyable version of windows, but that's not part of this topic. Anyway, I could never figure out how stats like gentleness, expressiveness, and other things were determined. I remember the first time I played this game and it said that I had to learn how to be nice. I don't really think I was much of a brat as a baby in that game, I mean, all babies are bound to throw fits every once in a while, speaking from personal experience as an aunt of that one. And as I got older, I noticed that my stats seemed to drop, even though as a child and later a teenager, I don't think I was a brat.
The devs
The devs or who ever made that game is a close-minded person and I have proof of that from reading the app reviews. People suggested lots of options and different life events and they did not want to put it in the game. When last has that game been updated? And if they do update it its nothing major other than bug fixes. I finally deleted it from my phone. I did get my money's worth though.
Re: The Devs.
In reply to The devs by Ornella
That game is a port of something made for one of those really old computers that took a heck of a lot of time to set up and beeped a lot. I can't remember what they're called so we'll leave it at that.Think of it as a PC emulator for an NES game. They aren't going to add anything that wasn't originally in that game, they're simply making it available again for those who don't have that system but want to play.
By Orinks
Alter Ego is not a life simulator. alter Ego is, in fact, a game created by the same guy who went on to create Choice of Games. It is, in essence, a choice of game without the COG label.
It is a story of what life could be, thus not a lot of replay value. I do wish a game could be created that combined the elements of BitLife and a COG game for narrative prose.
Now coce on, guys.
By Kibo
So, life simulator is way better. By the way, what is it with the whole music chande. So let's get to the differens shall we.
For a start, you has no ads. And there is no pay to win or purchase full game. And there is a daily reward system to get cash, youth potions, and even perks. Plus, there are so many easy, medium, and hard characters. And also, it has some amazing music and sound efects. And also, you can do lots and lots of crimes. And also, you can't skip ads with avoice over on bitlefe. And I can tell you how to close ads that you watch of bonuses. You disable the voiceover and then you tap in the top right corner. So, I am going to play it now to admire its awsomeness. Oh yes, and it is possible
Life SIms
See, BitLife is not life simulation. The pointless funny bits, the fact that you can get through a life in less than 30 minutes etc.
Life Simulator is more simulation but I don't like that each action a week passes.
Lastly, Alter Ego is not life simulation at all. It is actually the precurser to what Choice of Games would become.
so life simulaator is better!
In reply to Life SIms by Orinks
So life simulator is better? Is that right?
By DMNagel
Life sim is not exactly realistic either, what with all the weird potions and Ridiculously expensive stuff. Don't really care about music in a text game either. One major plus is that, at least all crimes are accessible. Gotta give them that. I stand with BitLife.
In that case, could you help me on bitlife?
In reply to No by DMNagel
Could you help me? I need help playing bitlife. Most of the items are nun-clickable. And how do you close ads with voice over?
Don't know about ads because
I purchased the bitizenship, so i don't get ads.
super star band manager
In reply to Don't know about ads because by DMNagel
By the way, super star band manager is a sim like game. You get to customize the name and eaverything.
bitlife
I like that the life simulater has all the crimes and all of that but i stand with bitlife all the way. and it is true that you can finish a game in 30 minutes but that's a person's choice to do so. I don't like music in any games. if i can i always turn them off. i haven't touched the life simulater in months. i'm about 500 years only and living like a zombie. for bitlife before you could've turned off your wy fy and play with out the adds but they found a way to stop people from doing that so if you don't want adds you got to pay for a bitizenship.
please play life sim. You do good.
In reply to bitlife by Ornella
It is amazing. I didn't know you could get that far!
Please go on it. You can, 1. Chose many different characters. 2. Stop pandemics with the power of collage! 3. Commit lots of crimes. 4. Funny escape outcomes. 5. Realistic settings and events. 6. Lots of jobs. 7. Able to play sports. 8. No pay to win. 9 Free! 10. Lots of vacation options. 11. Lots of educaation options. 12. Great music and sound efects. 13. Pets, children, family and more. 14. Very challenging. 15. A daily reward system. Bonus. You have achievements and perks.
So, could you please play it?
Bitlife vs life sim
Bitlife is still better. Actions in life sim still take a week in game. I feel like life Sim was primarily designed for sighted users, since they can tap and navigate faster than we can. Sure, life sim May have music, but it's the same song looping over and over again. It gets very annoying after a while. all of the crimes in life sim may be accessible, I'll give it that, but bitlife is still a better game overall
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
In reply to Bitlife vs life sim by Joel
I just purcheased all content on life sim! Don't tell me that was a waste of money?
agree with Joel
I mean people can do what ever they want but i still say bitlife is better because there are countless ways you can play and end your life and compared to the life sim bitlife has numerous updates and still there are more updates to come. I wouldn't say i wasted my money on life sim because i only purchased the sandbox mode and that was it. I got my money's worth from playing that game. if i delete it from my phone i won't feel bad. still from time to time i might pick it up and play a bit but haven't in months.
Buisness on life sim
In reply to agree with Joel by Ornella
Life sim you can start either a real estate building, farm for chickens, restraunt, softwear studio, factory and I think there is something else.
It is amazing what you can do.
Long live life sim.
Be gone bitLife be gone.
Always remember that.
You could even make some long live life sim banners.
Or be gone bitLife be gone flags.
Ok, well. Life sim is the best
Life sim is endless, get a lot of stuff, and bitlife is so-o-o-o-o-o adult rated.
Life sim link
By Pax
Hi. Can't find it on AppStore
life sim ranking
I am now going to list all the life sim games I've played. I say played because I've experimented with a few inaccessible ones.
So first we just have a game which is also called life simulator, but it says life simulator, rpg, instead of realistic life sim game. This one is just THE BEST game I've ever played. It's basically a pegi bitlife with fishing and hunting, crimes fighting and trading.
Then we have life simulator, the original one. Ok that's one of the best sims I've played and I'm very good at it. Strategy, realestate company aar 5 million dollars, that's the best way.
But then in 3rd place we have the game called ultimate real life simulator. That's good, pretty idle, but has a lot of adds, apaying soon, they made it so you couldn't have airoplane mode on grr.
Then there is the game called hobo life sim. Yes it's a great game, NEAT, but it's more a case of being a bit tricky rather than accessibility. Life expectancy is a pain.
Then there is alter ego. Gotta love that cool storyline and those different things you can play through. But it's only worth playing once, even though I've played it about 3 times.
You'll be surprised to know that we're already on bitlife. It's a great game only that its 17+. That's the only real problem. Apart from that you' progress a year at a time? Sure in the first one I listed there are 20 days in a year but this one is just senceless.
Then is re-play, it's an awfully short 17+ kinda weird text based choose your own adventure game. Come on, you either end up dying in one of the stages or you go into a coma, but the coma option only happened once.
And finally, uh, enclaver. Why do I even bother with this one? This is just naughty, rude and sorta inaccessible. Although it's a kinda good game, driving licence or half of the things that you do in game aren't accessible. For the sake of your ssanity don't download.
I forgot to include influencer life simulator, but that would go in between bitlife and re-plthy I think.
Bitlife is still my favorite, and I'll explain why
By Moopie Curran
Maybe I'm a dork, but bitlife is my favorite, simply because of the fact you can add custom people. And you can wind up with custom people as your friends, classmates, significant others, etc. For example, Gordon Peterson from Channel 9 was one of my classmates, lol. Now I've never tried some of the other ones. I've tried alterego, "life sim", and hobo life sim, they're ok, but I don't really care for the lack of customization.
PS. The bitlife devs made a spin-off of bitlife called doglife, it's where you live as a dog, but it's not accessible at all.
hobo life
the hobo life sim that you play isn't the hobo life sim that I play. Influencer and hobo life are made by the same guy, along with hobo ceo and time is money. The hobo life you're thinking of, does it have a market where you sell bottles and cardboard and then you have to manage your life expentancy?
The hobo life I played very…
In reply to hobo life by Kibo
The hobo life I played very briefly due to the lack of customization was the one where you sell bottles. Mind you, I haven't played it in a really long time, so they could've added stuff.
If you could beg or buy the…
If you could beg or buy the bottles then it may be the one. Do you know the link to game?
Nope, I don't have the link, it's been years since I've played it, maybe 2016 or 2017, I think it's in the app directory, although I'm not the one who submitted it.
don't think that one's one, check out the others I listed. Not enclaver ...
