Text adventures. Point-and-clicks. Infinity Engine. We round up all the games you should've played back when you had 64MB of SDRAM.
Between a flood of HD remasters (Grim Fandango, Homeworld, Resident Evil) and all the games styled to look like older games (Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2) released in the past year, I think we can all agree retro games are back in style.
But what about actual retro games—the classics you've left gathering dust in old CD-ROM cases or are hoarding in your GOG.com library? April's a relatively slow month as far as new releases, so maybe it's the perfect time to revisit some old classics.
Me? I'm about to go replay Planescape: Torment. Read on for that and fourteen(ish) other classic games you should play again.
Before Pillars of Eternity, there were the Infinity Engine games. Of that fairly large collection of isometric RPGs, the two that stand above the rest are Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment.
Baldur's Gate II has a decent story for a fantasy game, but is mostly notable for being absolutely massive. Planescape: Torment is iconic for its dialogue and story—you can even avoid combat completely, if you're good enough.
Modern perspective: Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is a decent (albeit buggy) option if you want a (slightly) modernized version of the game—widescreen, plus some small mechanics tweaks. Otherwise these games are about as approachable now as they were upon release.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is one part turn-based strategy game, one part RPG, and all parts addictive as hell. The game is a blend of both exploration and really satisfying turn-based combat, with you controlling an army of mythical creatures led by the titular heroes.
There've been a lot of Heroes of Might and Magic games over the years, but if you can look past the dated graphics then this third entry is simply the best.
Modern perspective: I beg of you: Stay away from the HD version Ubisoft released earlier this year. Yeah, the graphics are better. Yeah, widescreen is nice. But most of the content is missing, due to some issues with lost source code. You're better off sticking with the original plus expansions.
Along with System Shock 2, Deus Ex forms the cornerstone of the FPS/RPG hybrid that emerged in the late 90s. You'll meet people in the games industry who still play Deus Ex once per year. It's that good.
The key to Deus Ex is choice, both in terms of story and mechanics. Levels are almost infinitely replayable, due to the enormous number of ways you could approach each objective. This is level design stretched to its absolute limits, and never before nor since have we had a game that gave players this much freedom. No, not even in the game's two sequels.
Modern perspective: The biggest obstacle to playing Deus Ex is the opening level. Liberty Island is commonly considered the worst level in the whole game...and it's the first one you'll play. Just push through it.
Fact: Space sims are great. Fact: Space sims are even better when they're Star Wars-branded.
After an interminable wait, the classic Star Wars games finally made their way to a store again, and chief amongst them are Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing. No joystick? Don't even bother.
Modern perspective: The one major downside? The definitive CD versions of both games aren't currently available. The CD versions upped the resolution, added full voiceovers, and improved the cutscenes, so it's a shame they're not included yet. Maybe down the road?
Or you could just play Freespace 2.
Maybe you played point-and-click puzzler Myst—after all, it held the record for best-selling PC game for nearly a decade—but did you play its sequel Riven? Bigger, bolder, and more sure of itself, Riven is every bit as much a classic as its predecessor, and also forms a more cohesive whole.
Plus now you can just download it instead of needing to install five or six different CD-ROMs.
Modern perspective: On the other hand, be prepared to beat your head against a wall. Riven is fiendishly difficult at times. And it just laughs at your big dumb brain. Probability of your consulting a walkthrough: 99 percent.
When GOG.com finally added System Shock 2 to its store after years of petitioning, people literally celebrated in the streets. Okay, "a person" celebrated in the streets. It was me. I did a little dance.
The spiritual predecessor to BioShock, System Shock 2 will feel familiar—first-person, heavy emphasis on story, et cetera—but with a creepy "survival horror in space" feel. Not only is it a good game in its own right, it's also influenced pretty much every shooter to come after.
Modern perspective: Install some graphics mods. Make the game really shine the way it should. System Shock 2 is beloved enough that you have some great options on modern systems. Oh and by the way: It's difficult. Sometimes punishing. Good luck.
The Longest Journey, released in 1999, is commonly considered the point-and-click adventure game's swan song. It's easily one of the longest, deepest adventure games ever made, with one of the greatest worlds in all of gaming history—and it released right when the point-and-click genre basically died off.
Modern perspective: Some of the puzzles are asinine, so be prepared to consult a walkthrough. It's worth it for the story though. And lucky for you, when you're done you won't have to wait eight years for the sequel.
With a recent Kickstarter campaign to bring back the Ultima Underworld series, now would be a perfect time for you to (re)visit the mother of all CRPGs. Playing all of the Ultima games would take forever though, so you might as well start with the best—either Ultima 7 or Ultima Underworld 2.
The two play very different (Ultima 7 uses a top-down perspective, while Underworld 2 is first-person) but they have one thing in common: They're both phenomenal RPGs.
Modern perspective: The controls/interface in Underworld 2 can be especially clunky, but Ultima 7's top-down view is still relatively easy to parse (if a bit ugly). Set aside dozens of hours for these adventures.
Disappointed by last year's Civilization: Beyond Earth? Well, it is admittedly hard to live up to being the spiritual predecessor of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, largely considered to be one of the best (if not the best) 4X games ever created.
Modern perspective: It's basically Civilization's turn-based strategy, but in space. Civilization II, to be exact. It's not as pretty as booting up Civilization V, obviously, but it's not too hard to puzzle out.
And if you're looking for more space-based strategy, try out Master of Orion 2.
I have a tendency to recommend I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream a lot (too much), so I thought I'd choose a different golden-era point-and-click this time around: The Last Express.
This murder-mystery game is really just incredible, from its rotoscoped art style to its unique setting (riding on a train in 1914 under the specter of World War I) to the fact that the plot progresses in real-time. Fun fact: The game was written by Jordan Mechner, who created Prince of Persia.
Modern perspective: As far as point-and-clicks go, The Last Express is pretty approachable. That being said, the fact that the game progresses in real-time means two things. 1) Animations are slow. 2) It's hard to get the "correct" ending.
If you love the idea of the isometric CRPG but don't really care for fantasy settings, try Fallout 2 instead. Yes, this is what Fallout was before Bethesda turned it into "Elder Scrolls with guns."
And it's not that Fallout 3 was bad. It wasn't! I love Fallout 3. There's a quality and a humor to the writing in Fallout 2, though, that puts it on a higher level—a cleverness that just didn't quite make it into Bethesda's iteration. It's a damn good CRPG.
Modern perspective: If you're coming over from Fallout 3, this is going to take some getting used to. However, if you have any experience with isometric CRPGs you should be fine.
A Mind Forever Voyaging is a text adventure (nowadays known as "interactive fiction") that's as much an indictment of certain political leanings as it is an examination of the nature of being human.
It's also one of the most ambitious text adventures of the era, with time constantly advancing and an enormous amount of locations to see. Who needs graphics, when you've got a story this good?
Sure, it's not exactly on par with Brave New World and 1984 the way Infocom claimed, but it's still excellent in part because it's a game and not a novel.
Modern perspective: The hardest part of playing A Mind Forever Voyaging nowadays is finding a copy. A legal copy, that is. Also, the game came with "feelies"—physical items packed into the box that would be helpful to have on hand while playing. Luckily, there's this site.
No, I'm not talking about the 2012 shooter. I'm talking about the game that game was "based on," the 1993 isometric tactics game from Bullfrog.
Basically, you're the leader of a global megacorporation, and your only goal is...well, to get bigger. Be the best megacorporation on Earth. To do so, you hire a group of mercenaries to do some really shady things, because that's how the world works in 2096. The game consists primarily of directing these mercenaries through various levels.
Modern perspective: The UI and graphics are the biggest hamper to enjoying Syndicate nowadays, but they're sort of charming in a retro-cyberpunk way. Also, as of the time of writing Syndicate is completely free thanks to EA's On the House program, so get on it.
In the 90s, especially with the advent of CD storage, we went through this weird phase known as "FMV Games," short for full-motion video. Basically, instead of using computer graphics people would shoot film clips of live actors.
It's a quintessentially 90s genre, and the pinnacle was Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive. You play as the titular Tex, a film noir detective for the post-apocalypse. It's fantastic.
Modern perspective: The game's got some fairly stupid puzzles, but luckily there's a pretty decent hint system built in. You might (might) actually be able to complete this one without a walkthrough, which is high praise for a 90s adventure game.
Duke is like that obnoxious guest who showed up at your party uninvited, drank all your beer, creeped everyone out, broke something, threw up on your floor, and then passed out. And Duke Nukem 3D is Duke at his Dukiest.
If you want to play one shooter to understand what the 90s FPS scene was like, Duke Nukem 3D is a pretty good choice. It's loud. It's rude. Things explode.
Modern perspective: Some of the pop culture references don't really hold up, but that's okay. Also, the game is a 90s shooter, so expect it to be fast. Way faster than whatever you're currently playing.
After we published this list, readers pointed out some big, gaping holes in it—and we listened. Now that you know the golden oldies that we still love to play, check out the reader picks for 15 more classic PC games still worth playing.

Coming to America (1988) Paramount Pictures UHD Review
Coming to America (1988) Paramount Pictures 12/1/2020
Directed By: John Landis
Starring: Eddie Murphy, James Earl Jones, Arsenio Hall, John Amos, Maggie Sinclair
Disclaimer: Paramount Pictures has provided me with a copy of this film free of charge for the purposes of review. All opinions contained within are my own honest reflections.
Just in time for the sequel Coming 2 America (2021), Paramount has re-released the original cult classic on UHD. A spoiled Prince named Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is supposed to marry his Queen. Only problem is he has grown bored with his pampered life. He sets off for New York City to find a woman for himself. Coming to America has a huge cult following as a comedy classic of the decade.
The great irony is that, despite having a notoriously rocky relationship, Landis and Murphy really were a good fit. Moving my personal feelings on Landis aside, I will say that the man really did know how to construct biting, witty satire in his prime. And, this really works for Murphy's larger than life persona. Both this film and, Trading Places (1983) are savage critiques of class climbing and commercial excess that the '80's was known for. However, unlike Trading Places, Coming to America does so without being overtly negative in it's world view and, this time around Murphy plays a more sympathetic role. Akeem is such an endearing character that you cannot help but root for him and, this is where the film finds its emotional center. I mentioned that this movie was a pretty razor sharp comment on class systems and social climbing which was instilled into the ideal '80's lifestyle. Landis openly mocks this but also doesn't go as far as to outright damn it either. This having it's cake and eating it too is a minor complaint but one that never gets in the way of enjoying the films antics. Coming to America also smartly plays up this boarder line absurd sense of reality which is why I think it can get away with some more broad stereotypical aspects. In fact the trailer for the sequel dropped earlier this month and it seems that these elements will indeed make a come back. Landis will not be returning to direct the follow up.
Coming to America is a well directed and has the heart that I thought Trading Places sorely lacked. Not to mention a fantastic cast which refreshingly had an all African American characters in the lead roles. Notable early roles for Cuba Gooding Jr and Samuel L. Jackson. I will be excited to see if Coming 2 America will be able to capture that same kind of magic as the first film.
Picture: Coming to America is really stunning on UHD. The colors are so vivid and well maintained throughout. It retains a lot of detail in things like clothing texture and locales. Grain is smooth and also well balanced giving a fresher look than its 1080p sibling. This movie has a lot of great production design that is really fantastically utilized with this upgrade. Landis is said to have supervised this HDR which tells me Paramount did not half ass this product.
Sound: Similar to the picture, Coming to America has a powerful DTS 5.1 lossless track. Sound is robust and in my opinion offers a complex sound experience. Here we can a nice 3d and nicely spaced track that is really a joy.
Extras: This edition ports over the features from the 30th HD presentation and includes:
Prince-ipal Photography: The Coming Together of America, Fit For Akeem: The Costumes of Coming to America, Character Building: The Many Faces of Rick Baker, Composing America: The Musical Talents of Nile Rodgers, A Vintage Sit-Down with Eddie & Arsenio, Theatrical Trailer
Sure it would have been nice to get maybe a new interview but, even if you own the HD this UHD is well worth the double dip in my opinion.

Romania is a hotspot for IT outsourcing, drawing clients from neighboring European countries and the United States. It offers a substantial workforce, with more than 110,000 people working in the IT sector and affordable prices for high quality. The culture, education system, and commitment to quality making outsourcing in Romania an attractive option.
Romania has been a member of the EU since 2007 and has the 12 largest economy in the EU with an economic growth rate in 2017 of 7%.
Tech held a 6.2% share of Romania's GDP in 2017, up 5.5% over 2016. Over the past few years the IT sector has seen a year-over-year growth of between 15-20%, and remains one of the highest paying industries in Romania.
Romania has a population of 19.6 million and the best ratio of IT professionals per capita in Eastern Europe.
Well known for its Internet speed, it currently ranks 5th in the world with an average download speed of 38.6 Mb. To put this into perspective the US ranks 20th and the UK 35th.
Pricing is relatively affordable, offering lower average pricing than neighboring Poland, but slightly higher rates than Ukrainian development teams.
Romania is on EET (Eastern European Time Zone) at GMT+2. From this point of view it's highly accessible for all other European countries regarding overlap during the working day. For augmented teams or outsourcing there are no issues on collaboration. For US companies there is a 7 hour time zone difference from the East Coast which allows for a few hours of overlap in the afternoon. There is a 10-hour difference to the West Coast, which gives two windows for overlap time, either in the morning or in the evening.
There are several stereotypes and misconceptions about Romanian culture.The reality is that although the Romanian culture is founded on traditions and folklore, with a backdrop of amazing rural landscapes, it's a modern country with a metropolitan civilization. The fall of the communist regime opened the gates for western values and culture, particularly in entertainment. These creates a sense of familiarity between people in Romania and folks from countries in the western world, making outsourcing in Romania a comfortable experience for western clients.
● Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport.
Travel to Romania from most European capitals is quite easy as there are several airlines that cover these route: Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines and low cost airlines like WizzAir or RyanAir. As a member of the EU, there are no Visa requirements for fellow member countries.
Travel from the US requires a stopover in another major European city. US citizens do not require a VISA for up to 90 days.
Besides being an IT hub country, Romania also has an entrepreneurial spirit. There are 353 startups, 12 accelerators and 52 startup related events a year. At the 2018 Central European Startup Awards, Romania won Best Fintech Startup for the company Instant Factoring. Romania also won Founder of the Year for Mondly, a language app available in 190 countries.
There are two types of startups in Romania. The first are native startups, founded by Romanian entrepreneurs. The second is foreign startups, where founders start companies in Romania to take advantage of high quality talent at relatively low costs. It's not just about saving money for these foreign startups either. It's about getting enough done in a limited timeframe to be able to launch a product and get to market faster.
The educational system in Romania encompasses several technical universities that produce about 8500 IT graduates a year. On top of the actual graduates there are also a couple of other things to consider. Most IT companies have yearly internships that usually end with several hires. This leads to many students delayed their graduation from school. So, even though they are actually working in IT they don't yet have a technical degree and don't add up to the statistics.
A second thing to consider is that the IT sector is a very attractive industry in Romania. Due to higher than average salaries, there are a lot of people that convert professionally to the IT sector. This typically happens through internships, courses, informal schools or by self-teaching, in programming, testing, business analysis or other areas. IT companies respond to the ever growing needs for skilled workers by supporting these endeavors and offering various learning opportunities.
Bucharest is the largest IT hub and also the city with the most universities and graduates in field. The cities of Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara and Iasi also offer great technology infrastructures. In fact, Cluj-Napoca has seen almost a 300% growth in startups from 2011 to 2016.
There are other smaller outsourcing hubs dealing with IT or BPO in cities like Sibiu, Targu Mures, Brasov or Constanta. Overall there are more than 20,000 tech companies in the country, making Outsourcing in Romania an attractive option.
Outsourcing in Romania typically follows one of three business models. The overall mentality is not to passively follow client directions, but more focused on collaboration and business value. Team focus less on just delivering lines of code and more on product building, scalability, planning ahead and offering results.
Augmentation – Working together with the client's team. The system is quite simple. There is a team supplied by the outsourcing company that is dedicated to that client. This requires a good level of collaboration and some time zone overlap.
Independent – The outsourcing company works on the project independently. The client is kept up to date regarding progress and can act as project manager or not. This engagement model offers the most freedom to the outsourcing company.
Hybrid – A mixture of the two, suitable for larger projects. Parts of the project can be done independently by the outsourcing company while others require collaboration through team augmentation. For enterprise level companies this model works well, as there are usually more projects, more work in play.
Another thing that's worth mentioning is that most companies offer services beyond IT services. Business analysis, UX, design, product design are services offered for a better business value, complementary with the technicality that software development processes require.
Outsourcing in Romania does not offer the cheapest rates around. It's definitely cheaper than in the United States and most European countries, but the average skill let in Romania commands mid-tier rates. Depending on position, skill, contract size and length, they vary from $25 to $50 an hour.
A senior developer goes for $30 to $50 an hour, and an architect can cost $65 or more per hour. Mid-level manual testers charge about $30 to $35, while automated testers can be as expensive as developers. Project managers, business analysts and graphic designers typically have rates between $35 to $45 an hour.
Time and material is the most popular payment model, because of its flexibility. Although it's usually calculated based on an hourly rate, everybody works full time, as dedicated employees of the client.
Outsourcing in Romania makes sense for any type of company. From startups to growth-stage companies, and large enterprises, the skill level is mature enough to provide quality IT services and build great software products for any industry or tech stack. You can find companies that cover web, desktop, mobile, even AI, big data or even blockchain. This is not a place that offers just bodies on chairs, but professionals with enough knowledge and technical acumen to be able to challenge the traditional outsourcing perspective. Prices are on par with the types of services offered and the culture compatibility that goes with the territory.
Overall, it's a great location for companies interested in building products in a collaborative fashion. Most companies welcome on-site visits to set the foundation for a good working relationship, so consider taking the time to visit Romania and see first hand what it has to offer.

Applause, the newly renovated gourmet cafe at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, reopened Monday after remaining closed for about four months.
The cafe began undergoing renovations at the end of the fall semester to better accommodate healthy and upscale dining options for The Clarice, said Bart Hipple, Dining Services spokesman.
The cafe had a soft opening April 27 through April 29, its last day coinciding with Maryland Day, said John Gray, Dining Services Senior Executive Chef. The staff at Applause recorded about 100 customers between April 27 and April 28 and about 150 customers on Maryland Day alone, Gray added.
The popularity of Applause showed on Maryland Day, said Lea Humphreys, a sophomore french horn performance major. Events like that are exactly the sort of occasions the new cafe will cater toward, Humphreys said.
Applause features paninis, macaroni and cheese and hand-squeezed lemonade. The menu changes on a six-day rotation, prioritizing fresh ingredients in customizable salads, braise and ragouts, including options not available at other dining locations on the campus.
During renovations, Encore, a cafe in The Clarice's main lobby, sold sandwiches and other grab-and-go items to appease the lunch rush. Now, Encore will return to its coffee bar menu, while more substantial meals will be available upstairs at Applause.
Although Applause has reopened, Humphreys said she will still frequent Encore.
One unique addition in Applause is a station where customers can customize their own soda and carbonated water with flavored syrups. The cafe also serves pastries from the Maryland Bakery. On Monday, the cafe offered chocolate mousse, turtle brownies and white chocolate cookies, Gray said. The end result is a menu very distinct from other campus dining locations, Gray added.
Reimagining the cafe was a collaborative project across multiple departments, Bondarev Rapach added. In addition to Dining Services, graduate students from the architecture, planning and preservation school worked on Applause, said Madlen Simon, an architecture professor.
Ten of Simon's students helped to design the kitchen, which has new tiles and ovens, and the seating area behind the cafe. The seating area is not completed, but the students are building prototype furniture for students and staff to test this spring, and the area should be completed in summer.
Mike Gessner, an architecture graduate student who worked on the project, said they found students wanted to be able move the furniture, so the architecture students incorporated stools and chairs that can be moved around in the cafe.
The new design will complement the outdoor patio that can be seen from the cafe, Gessner added.
"We were going off the image of an outdoor garden with trees, so all of the pieces of furniture will have large curves to emulate the branches and the root systems," Gessner said.
Applause is open between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, but Gray said those hours could change depending on the venue's success and demand by The Clarice's administrators.

Accra West Gets Pastry Hub At West Hills Mall
West Hills Mall consolidated its reputation as Accra's most alluring destination for hot, ready-to-eat foods with the opening at its popular food court of one of the country's classiest patisseries - the 'New York Sizzlers Pastries & Ice Cream'.
The mall's food court, already the toast of patrons from a mixed-bag of social categories across communities in Accra West and beyond is home to seven exclusive delicatessen and eateries and, with the arrival of the patisserie, has become a very compelling pull for Accra's biggest family shopping centre.
After trading for only a few days, patrons say the arrival of New York Sizzler Pastries and Ice Cream was long overdue, underscoring the thinking that there had always been a yearning for oven-fresh baker's confectioneries in the communities of Accra West all along.
"What inspired our coming to Accra's trendiest family mall is the sudden realisation that there is no up-to-standard pastry outlet anywhere across the catchment area and in the communities of Accra West. So, what we now have here at West Hills Mall is a one-stop-shop for all types of pastries," Mr. Prosper Kumi, CEO of New York Sizzlers Pastry and Ice Cream told reporters at the opening event.
Located next to the Basilissa restaurant on the food court, the Sizzler pastries specializes in general pastry dishes like samosa, croissants, brioche, waffles, pies, quiches and cakes. The gourmet choices are extended to include sandwiches and cookies, along with the house's special brand of hot chocolates, coffee, and smoothies.
"We have joined West Hills Mall's famous food gallery with abundant culinary expertise and experience and our commitment stems purely from ensuring that we promote healthy eating among our patrons….as opposed to the excessive oily and fatty diets most people are accustomed to", Mr. Kumi said.
He announced that the patisserie is open to customers throughout the week, from 8:00am till 8:00pm on weekdays and from 8:00am till 10:00pm on weekends and operates a large volume of takeaway services but also has the facility to cater for a limited number of eat-in customers.
New York Sizzlers Pastries and Ice cream joins an exciting crop of new stores which was introduced into West Hills Mall's tenant portfolio over the past ten months and which has greatly enriched the shopping experience of shoppers and patrons, even within the restrictive social environment of COVID 19.
UK Brands is a new retail chain that signed up at West Hills Mall late last year and has fast evolved into one of the most fancied clothing retailer in the country, offering assorted UK branded clothing at affordable prices.
UK Brand's mission has been to provide the average Ghanaian with quality clothing, and use its business to radically change the wrong mentality that quality brand new clothing at shopping malls must be expensive.
Then there is Jocent, another fashion store, a successful Ghanaian-owned retail outlet which initially tested the market with stores in Adum, Kumasi and later progressed into trading in the malls, beginning with its home centre, Kumasi City Mall, before joining West Hills Mall last November.
At West Hills Mall, Jocent's specialty has been to provide quality clothes for ladies, men and kids from all over Accra at affordable prices. The magnet in Jocent's shop floor at West Hills Mall may be the varied range of clothing on offer every day of the week: casual, formal, smart casual, shoes and underwear for all sizes and ages.
Banana Home, a superbly stocked home deco store, joined the West Hills Mall family in early December… just in time to avail itself to waiting patrons during the festive season. The store has never looked back since then and continues to charm teeming customers with a wide variety of assorted electronic gadgets and home décor.
The mall's newest furniture people, AJ Boaz, is already a household name at West Hills Mall having entered the retail market with their first store, a footwear shop, two years ago. The new store deals exclusively in quality upholstery, living room furniture and accessories.
Another exciting new entrant to West Hills Mall is Divine Organic Hub, a health and beauty specialist which, after a successful exhibition at the mall, decided to have a permanent presence for the benefit of its patrons. They opened for business in November last year offering a rare range of organic products including the black seed, flaxseed, chai seed, coriander seed, carrot oil, avocado oil and rosemary oil.
The Addos, is an afro café and restaurant, which makes a lot of difference at West Hills Mall after literally 'pounding' its way into the food court last year. The restaurant headlines around town as one of the most irresistible 'fufu' joints in the whole of Accra.

(Jambands.com) On October 16, T Bone Burnett will debut The Speaking Clock Revue at Boston's Wang Center. The show will feature performances by Elton John & Leon Russell, John Mellencamp, Elvis Costello, Gregg Allman, Ralph Stanley, Punch Brothers, Neko Case, Jeff Bridges, Karen Elson, and The Secret Sisters. The Speaking Clock Revue will then travel to New York City for a performance on October 20, with Jim James swapping in for Neko Case.
The model for this event is Bob Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue, as Burnett explains, "The privacy and the intimacy of the studio afford artists the freedom to create, but something thrilling happens in getting away from the machines and into the live communication of real time storytelling in the larger community. The first tour I went on, my first job in show business, was on The Rolling Thunder Revue, and I've come back to that type of collaborative and extraordinarily rewarding experience from time to time. We are looking forward with great anticipation to getting The Speaking Clock Revue up and running this fall and continuing it in the years to come." Tickets for both shows will go on sale September 27 at noon.

Undergraduate students will gather tomorrow beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the Shatner cafeteria to participate in the Winter General Assembly. With seven new motions on the table there is a wide variety of SSMU policy to be decided.
Put forward by Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, this motion has emerged as perhaps the most controversial Genderal Assembly motion. Should it pass, the Students' Society would be mandated to "issue a statement reaffirming its commitment to human rights," expand the Financial Ethics Review Committee, allow for instituting a Corporate Social Responsibility committee, and have either active committee investigate McGill University's investments.
The motion has drawn attention mainly due to the two non-debatable, non-amendable "whereas" clauses that mention the conflict in the Middle East.
"The main concern was to make sure that McGill has an ethical and moral way of handling business and that they don't invest in any companies that don't support human rights or in any way infringe upon anyone's human rights," said Samer Sefian, SPHR vice-president internal.
Sefian added that he was not surprised by the opposition garnered by the motion.
The motion doesn't specify any direct action to condemn Israel, though opponents to the motion believe that it has been written in a similar spirit to last year's motion to condemn Israel for the bombing of educational institutions in Gaza.
In the aftermath of this year's chapter in the Choose Life saga, a motion has been put forward to ban any pro-life group from becoming an official SSMU club.
Natalie Fohl, president of the suspended Choose Life club, said that the motion is a preemptive attempt to disallow Choose Life from being reinstated with full club status.
As the University struggles to close a $14 million dollar deficit, the administration has announced that it will instate a self-funded tuition model for the Master's of Business Adminstration program, a move which will create a flat tuition rate of $29,500 per student in the 2010-2011 academic year.
The motion seeks to establish a formal policy against self-funded tuition models and mandates SSMU to lobby against the self-funded tuition model on the university, provincial, and federal levels.
Ancillary Fees are another issue with strong ties to the McGill deficit. With the Quebec Ministry of Education's current cap of $15 per student per semester set to expire on 2011, this motion seeks to mandate SSMU to oppose any future increases in ancillary fees unless passed by referendum.
Should it pass, this motion would mandate SSMU to condemn the industrial development of the Alberta Tar Sands, examine investments of over $15,000 for ties to the Tar Sands industry, create a sub-committee of the FERC to research investment ties that McGill may have to the Tar Sands, and redefine the criteria for what is considered involvement with the Tar Sands.
If passed this motion will require SSMU to negotiate with the McGill administration to reinstate the availability of five dollar bills in ATM machines on campus.
Although tomorrow's GA will go ahead under the current rules, the possibility for reform has again been brought up. At last Thursday's SSMU Council meeting, a motion was passed that will create a council-initiated referendum question to be put to students in the Winter Referendum period.
The referendum question, signed by SSMU President Ivan Neilson, VP Clubs and Services Sarah Olle, VP University Affairs Rebecca Dooley, and Councillor David Marshall, would amend the constitution to make it more difficult for GAs to set policy on issues external to the Society.
"The spirit behind the question was to sort of redefine the GAs so we get all the really positive elements of direct democracy, and leave out some of the confusion, and the messy, more problematic motions which tend to come up and which don't really have anything relating to SSMU," said Neilson.
The amendment would also insert a new section, 28.2, which would read: "exceptionally, a policy on a matter external to the Society's regular activities may be adopted at a General Assembly if the following conditions are satisfied," and lists as the conditions: 500 members of the society are present, two thirds of the General Assembly votes in favour of debating the resolution, and the resolution passes with a simple majority.
Students will be able to vote on the question in the referendum period in early March. The campaign period begins on March 2, and regularly polling takes place from March 9-11.

A beautiful olive wood dreidel, well packed and quick delivered. It's a pity the restauration ( was visible on the photos ) cracked again during transport and the wood putty felt out. Bad luck!
