Release Notes

——————————————————————————-

Windows XP is a line of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on

personal computers, including home and business desktops, notebook computers,

and media centers. The name “XP” is short for “experience”. Windows XP is the

successor to both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Me, and is the first

consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the

Windows NT kernel and architecture. Windows XP was first released on 25 October

2001, and over 400 million copies were in use in January 2006, according to an

estimate in that month by an IDC analyst. It was succeeded by Windows Vista,

which was released to volume license customers on 8 November 2006, and worldwide

to the general public on 30 January 2007. Direct OEM and retail sales of Windows

XP ceased on 30 June 2008. Microsoft continued to sell XP through their System

Builder Channel (smaller OEMs who sell assembled computers) until January 31,

2009. XP may continue to be available as these sources run through their

inventory or by purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate or Business and then

downgrading to Windows XP.

Alright, it’s been a minute. Been busy, trying to hold a few things down.

I left with a Win7 collection query to monitor Windows 7 clients on your domain/network. Well, since then, SP2 RTM’d and we hopped on the chance to deploy it. We weren’t so interested in the OOB management as we were support for 7 and Vista/Server 2008 SP2 and R2.

So far, everything’s been smooth. We use WSUS on the SUP’s to deploy our clients and it’s been relatively flawless. We have unfortunately run across a few machines that refuse to update, only to find out WMI is corrupted on those machines. Yet another fun thing to work through.

If you’ve been following S&P2 closely, you might have heard about the unlockable mode…*SPOILERS*

…”Isa & Kachi Mode”. This isn’t two player simultaneous, sadly. What it is is a mode where the player can press the Minus (-) button to swap out Isa for Kachi, and vice versa. Both characters have their own life bars.

This mode is unlocked by beating the game once as Isa and once as Kachi.

Here is the first video, uploaded to YouTube by shuuya007.

Beating the game on Isa & Kachi mode rewards you with a new credits song, and…an extra ending.

(Better late than never.) Earlier this month, Nintendo JP put up the following video on their website. It is a video of S&P2’s Stage 1, but with a twist…the player is ridiculously good.

As you can see, he maintains a maximum x16 multiplier, never takes damage, and gets all of the Special Medals.

Let’s see him do it as Kachi too, THEN I’ll be impressed

According to Vgchartz, S&P2 has sold 9,022 copies its first week on the shelves.  From approximately 5,000 copies on the first day, this isn’t much of an increase, and sales look to plummet until it disappears off the charts within a month or two…

Grande Daniel,

Surfando na internet, achei o texto abaixo no blog do Torero (leio de vez em quando), extremamente interessante e nostálgico, também senti saudades de varias coisas…

Jefferson,

PQP, muito bom. Fiquei lembrando, dos tempos de escola, do futebol no campinho de areia, naquela pelada de toda tarde com os amigos na beira da praia… ê vida!

Saudades

(A pedido dos leitores Érika e Nelson, vai aí um texto que escrevi quando tirei férias da Folha por um ano. Depois ele foi publicado no livro “Os cabeças-de-bagre também merecem o paraíso”)

Hoje, estranhamente, acordei com saudades. Saudades dos ataques com cinco jogadores, das bolas de capotão, dos torcedores com chapéu que chegavam de bonde, saudades das camisas sem patrocinador, saudades de encontrar os jogadores do meu time na padaria, saudades dos sonhos de goiabada.

Também senti saudades de jogar bolinha de gude, de empinar pipa, de descer escada sentado em tapete, do pé de pitanga de meu avô, de pegar jambolão, de bala alcaçuz, de carrinhos de ferro, de frases com reticências.

Acordei com saudades de vizinho educado, de nhoque feito pela avó, de chuteiras sem logotipo, de seleção sem logotipo, de jogador sem guarda-costas, de atacante com cabelo, de meus cabelos, de ver mulheres de sombrinha em dia de sol, de ouvir alguém que eu nem conheço me dizer bom-dia.

Senti saudades de jogar bola na rua até esfolar o dedão, de jogar na chuva, de usar uniforme para ir para a escola, de Grapete, de Cerejinha, de meu avô.

Saudades do pomar da casa ao lado, de dormir depois do almoço, dos shorts de panos estampados feitos pela minha mãe, de ser magro, de balão de são João, de ir na praia à noite, de pôr cadeira na calçada, de rua de areia, de cheiro de pêssego, de entrar de graça no estádio, de brincar de forte apache, de quintal.

Senti saudades de jogadores que não mudavam de clube, de ganhar jogo de xícaras com figurinha premiada, do meu time de botão – feito de tampas de relógio e pintados por mim mesmo.

Saudades das Vemagets, dos Pumas, dos SP2, saudade de sagu feito em casa, de meu primeiro Ki-Chute, saudade do barulho da batedeira de minha mãe.

E saudades de ir aos jogos com meu pai, de perguntar por que só o goleiro pode usar as mãos, saudades de uniforme todo branco, de ficar com raiva quando meu time usava o listrado, de paçoca em saquinho vendida em carrinho com bico de foguete, saudade de porta aberta.

Também senti saudades de tevê em preto e branco, de casa com jardim, de espiar escondido a empregada namorando escondido no portão, de usar fantasia no carnaval.

Saudades dos mortos, de ter medo de cemitério e de filme de vampiro e de homem-do-saco. Saudades de ver os seios que apareciam de vez em quando, e só de vez em quando, na televisão, de ver os avós brigando e fazendo as pazes, saudade do tempo em que futebol não era negócio.

E tenho saudades de pão com mortadela, de molhar o biscoito no café com leite, de não entender de política, de nem saber o que são commodities, de pensar que o presidente é honesto, de nadar na praia com um calção que ficava pesado e quase caía, de briga de empurrão com meus irmãos.

Saudade de ganhar dinheiro do meu avô para comprar figurinha de chapinha. Saudade do tempo que já foi. Saudade do que já fui.

E enquanto escrevo esta última crônica, já tenho saudade de escrever sobre futebol



With the release of Sin & Punishment 2 yesterday in Japan, Sinobi has released first day sales for most of the games that launched yesterday, including S&P2.  S&P2 has sold 5.6K on its first day.  It’s not terrible, considering the amount of titles that sell this much over in Japan, but its a fairly low number.  Hopefully the sales over the first week will pick up a bit.

Couldn’t import S&P2?  Still waiting for it to show up?  Gamersyde has put up the first ten minutes of the game.  You can view that here.

Thanks Regulus Tera!

Omdat onze laptop openSolaris heeft en Vista werkt de update van SP2 ook niet bij ons. Het terugzetten van de MBR is met openSolaris dvd wat lastiger dus ik heb – zoals eerder aangekondigd – het eens met MBRFix geprobeerd.

Iemand heeft dit hele proces beschreven op een Sun blog.

In feite heb ik dit langsgelopen, maar dan natuurlijk met aanpassing van het partitie nummer voor het actief maken van Vista partitie. Het juiste nummer van Vista partitie zoek je van te voren in lijstje dat je verkrijgt met commando MBRFIX.EXE /drive 0 listpartitions. Als additionele eigen stap 10 heb ik openSolaris partitie weer actief gemaakt om begin situatie te herstellen.

Mere hours from the full impact of S&P2’s Japanese release, I feel it’s fitting to push you over the edge with this impression from sprsk at NeoGAF.

Para quem curte ele faz leitura do Roland ai fica completo uni o útil com o agradável, tem alguns tecladistas que não curte o timbre acho por que não saber explorar as qualidade dele porém nesse eu garanto que vale a pena ter um, o próprio Jean Carllos tecladista do Oficina G3 melhor banda de Heavy Metal gospel tem e utiliza praticamente em seus shows pelo Brasil acompanhei pessoalmente num evento da Nossa Rádio 91,3 na estação da luz diretamente do palco, achei sensacional os efeitos tocados no dia e a qualidade de timbre e teclas dinâmicas .É bem diferente do SP-76,88,88x bem mais completa até que SP2. Bom se vc tem alguma opinião ou sugestão diferente comente nesta matéria ou envie ebermenac@gmail.com todas as quartas tem post meus de teclado e todos dias post de meus colegas abraço

Apparently, Hitoji Yamagami, the producer of Sin & Punishment 2, had a great amount of difficulty with the first Sin & Punishment game.  He was the only one on the development team that was not able to complete it, thus explaining why the second game was initially too easy.

Thanks IronRob!

Op mijn pc kon ik maar niet Vista Service Pack 2 installeren…. merkwaardig. Het bleek te liggen aan de veranderde MBR na installatie Linux / openSolaris (grub).
Oplossing is hetvolgende:
1. ga naar diskmanagement in windows en maak de vista schijf actief. Anders krijg je in de volgende stap de vage melding “No element”
2. boot vista cdrom, kies taal/toetsenbord en kies in volgende scherm repair. Kies dan vervolgens commandline
3. type
- bootrec /fixboot
- bootrec /fixmbr
4. bij herstarten blijkt dat grub weg is en dat windows direct boot. Nu kan je SP2 opnieuw installeren.
5. herstellen MBR met linux dvd (openSuSE in mijn geval)

Het herstellen voer ik nu niet uit omdat ik binnenkort de nieuwe openSuSE erop zal zetten, huidige heeft problemen met mijn wireless adaptor waardoor ik het nu even laat zitten. De volgende heeft correcte kernel versie.

Wat dat laatste punt betreft (herstellen) is er ook nog alternatieve methode die ik nog niet uitgeprobeerd heb. Het gaat om programma MBRFix welke ook de vista MBR kan herstellen maar waar je tevens de huidige kan backuppen en na installatie van SP2 kan restoren. Deze methodiek ga ik gebruiken bij mijn laptop waarop openSolaris staat. Daar is volgens mij ook geen goede reparatie mogelijkheid via de openSolaris dvd.
Iemand heeft dit hele proces beschreven op een Sun blog.

Can you read a word of Japanese?  If not, here’s a translation courtesy of Semiregular:

“First three pages were mainly talking about the development hell they got stuck in when developing for the Nintendo 64 (and apparently it was the same over Hal Laboratory, said Iwata), how did the project start and how did they decide the title.

Some quick translations related to S&P2 (could be wrong, feel free to correct me)

The game is 60 fps. When S&P2 team heard that Super Mario Galaxy runs at 60 fps, they said to themselves ‘well, we’ll do that too!’. And that’s the reason why there are demo stations – because you can’t experience the smoothness of the game without actually seeing it running.

Suzuki Yasushi, the person who did the art for the original S&P, has left Treasure and stopped doing videogame arts at the time development started. They ask him to come back because they felt if the designer is changed, the whole taste of the game would change and it would become a whole different game.

Treasure started developing the game with the gamecube controller in mind, and they made it really really difficult. Nakagawa expected Nintendo will tell them to fix that and make the game easier, but turned out feedback from Nintendo was that it was way too easy. That’s because the wii-mote pointer made aiming so much easier and Treasure had to balance the difficulty for both the gamecube controller and the wii-mote. So now different controllers will have advantage in different parts of the game.”

What I find most interesting out of the entire interview, is the fact that Suzuki Yasushi came back just to work on the art for this game.  I had no idea he had left in the first place…

The Far Left Review...Don't you wish it were the one on the right? *Sigh*

Apparently, the other score (36/40) was a fake.  The true S&P2 score in Famitsu is 31/40.  That’s a fairly decent score, but a somewhat of a letdown from the previous score…

UPDATE: We’ve now got details on the review score:

The new Treasure game received a fair bit of excitement from Famitsu’s editors, despite the usual Treasure-like challenge. “The game’s remarkably compatible with the Wii remote,” one wrote. “Aiming takes a while to get used to, but I couldn’t imagine playing any other way by now.” Criticisms included the long length of some stages, although “there are a lot of checkpoints, so replaying isn’t that much of a pain.”

We haven’t seen any absolute proof yet, or any particularly reliable sources for that matter, but it’s probably true. Rejoice!!

This post will be updated as soon as I find a credible source or scans or whatever.

UPDATE: The Famitsu has been delayed this week, so this score has grown questionable.

UPDATE 2: The Famitsu has apparently been released.  This is not the actual score, however.  See this post for the true score.

tce8 note: Why, god, why? ;_;

The Japanese are unlawfully lucky. The demo stations for Sin & Punishment 2 have been launched. No impressions yet, but have some sexy pictures.

LET ME AT IT AAAAUUGGHHH

It's not every day you hear the phrase "I'd kill for a postcard," but...

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/r2vj/index.html

The Action/Shooting page is now up, with delicious new videos. I strongly recommend you go there.

Nintendo has updated the Nintendo Channel today in Japan, loading it full of new Sin & Punishment 2 footage.  This video is a collection of all those new videos on the Nintendo Channel.  We also learn that the Japanese version has Japanese voice acting, unlike the original game.  So no corny english VO’s for you!

The Penn Almanac ran a highlight of last week’s ribbon cutting for the new entrance to the Caster Building, home of the School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) at Penn. This event also showcased the new Centennial Wall, celebrating the 100 year anniversary of SP2, formerly the School of Social Work (SSW), as well as the 100 for 100 Campaign to raise $1 million by 2010. You can read more about the Ribbon Cutting Event on the Almanac’s website, and also in an article by the Daily Pennsylvanian.

One feature of the new SP2 fundraising campaign caught my attention: Each donor who pledges over $400 to the “100 for 100″ Annual Fund Centennial Campaign will be given the option to have their name inscribed on the Centennial Wall. That’s quite an incentive (and a great asking price), especially if you’ve seen the unique artistry of the Centennial Wall, sculpted by Karen Singer, a graduate of the Penn MFA program.

This name-inscribing incentive also called my attention to a recent Bloomberg News article by Alexis Leondis, Getting Your Name on a Building Gets Cheaper as Non-Profits Compete,  featured in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, which discussed how the current economic environment has influenced the fundraising practices of nonprofits and universities who dedicate buildings, walkways, and other memorable landmarks to their respective donors. Although the wording of the title of the Bloomberg News article could be viewed as contentious, the quotes from various wealth management professionals and financial data are hard to dispute. For instance:

Some organizations are struggling to find revenue as wealthy donors as well as corporate sponsors reduce contributions, said Andrew Hastings, vice president of external affairs at the National Philanthropic Trust in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, which helps donors establish charitable funds.

Universities are struggling as endowments and foundations managing more than $1 billion in assets posted a median investment loss of 17 percent in the year through June, according to Wilshire Associates, an investment-consulting firm in Santa Monica, California.

The article also offers a potential solution to the decrease in giving amounts, in regards to a financial gift from Arnie Zaslow, executive vice president of ATD-American Co. of Wyncote, PA, to supply massages to nurses at Abington Memorial Hospital:

Nonprofit organizations may be more creative with what kinds of gifts donors can make.

I’ve seen the same sentiments voiced in other articles of the need for creativity and innovation in how businesses, families, and individuals must operate to survive during the economic downturn. At the Center, we conduct research to find high impact or “bang for buck” philanthropic investment opportunities for social impact. Our work revolves around a general statement: “I want to make a difference. I have one million dollars to give. How can I spend it to make the greatest impact?” Our executive director, Katherina Rosqueta, discussed the concept of “high impact philanthropy” with BigThink earlier this year. In that interview, she gives an example from the point of view of a philanthropist who may give money for reciprocal or social motivations, without thought to the social impact of their gift:

“I don’t care so much about whether or not I am really maximizing the impact of my gift but I’m really happy that my name is on that big building.” – View the whole video here: http://bigthink.com/katherinarosqueta/katherina-rosqueta-defines-high-impact-philanthropy

The ego is a wonderful thing— it is no secret that human beings enjoy seeing, touching, and feeling their mark on the world. We learned firsthand during our interviews for I’m Not Rockefeller that 47% of respondents found it “very important” to touch/see/interact with the people or organizations to which they give money. Is it safe to assume that this feeling of being connected to a cause is reflected in the number of buildings, bridges, streets, and other national and global landmarks dedicated to someone or something’s namesake? Maybe. However, the motivation behind why people give is what we at the Center are interested in, as the title of our first education investment guide suggests we focus on “translating good intentions into meaningful impact” in improving the lives of others. I wonder if the current economic situation will foster not only new and innovative incentives for nonprofits and universities to raise money but also a new and innovative attitudes of donors towards how they give for social impact.

We welcome your comments and/or feedback.

Nintendo, only weeks before S&P2’s release, has finally opened an official webpage for Sin & Punishment 2.  This webpage has new artwork for characters, and also a new character named “G5.”  Not much else is there yet, but for now, all you have to look at is a story summary, character info page, and screenshots area.

IGN has just uploaded about a dozen new Sin & Punishment 2 screenshots.  Not much to see here, besides a couple of cleaner looking images from the Famitsu scans last night.  Nonetheless, it’s all still interesting!  You can view the full set of screenshots here.
