South Park: The Stick of Truth hands-on preview

Posted: at 11:42 am

I feel suitably forewarned/reassured that the South Park licensing is more than just a name. The game has been overseen, written and voiced by the shows creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, a duo more recently heralded for the brilliant stage-show The Book of Mormon. But while South Park, famous for its sharp satire, crude language and devilishly effective shock humour, may have had its glory years at the turn of the century, it remains as culturally relevant and able to offend as ever. Now in its 17th year, its equal-opportunity attitude to lampooning has narked celebrities, school bodies, libertarians and conservatives. As well as religious groups, of course, most infamously when Parker and Stone were targeted by Muslim extremists for their portrayal of Mohammed. Its puerile, gross, gratuitously offensive. Hilarious too, and startling in its sociological acuteness.

As you might expect, South Parks initial target is the video game genre The Stick of Truth finds itself part of, gently mocking the tropes of the RPG while using them almost wholesale. But they are implemented with a light touch. The Stick of Truth is developed by Obsidian, a studio that certainly knows its way around an RPG after its work on Fallout, Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights. A heady history, but the RPG mechanics of The Stick of Truth have largely been simplified, leading to a game thats more akin to Nintendos brilliant Paper Mario RPGs than anything from Obsidians back catalogue. Depth appears to be there if you want it with perks, skill trees and weapon buffs aplenty but the initial impression was one of accessibility. This will appeal to South Park fans first and RPG fans second, with the former reassured they should be able to pick up The Stick of Truth without being baffled by its mechanics.

You navigate South Park on a 2D plane in order to mimic the cartoons visual style, though you are able to move in and out of the screen to explore your environment. Moving around is a cinch, but as it stands the structure of the map itself is somewhat clunky. South Parks roads are layered on top of each other, with connecting roads intersecting them, but planning your movement is trickier than it should be. There is Timmys fast travel, located at certain points around the town, though it seems a shame to forego exploration due to wonky map structure.

Its a rare gripe in an otherwise slick and fast hour. The early quests are predictably busywork, having you scoot around town to familiarise yourself and meet characters as you go. First up is to recruit Token, Tweek and Craig to Cartmans faction. Many inhabitants of South Park can be friended on Facebook as you meet them, which unlocks perks and more messages on your timeline.

Other inhabitants, of course, need a good shoeing. Your bread and butter battling will be against the opposing faction (you start with Cartman, but reportedly you can switch allegiance to Stan and Kyle later on), with various different classes facing off in turn-based fights. I KNOW ITS LAME, screeches Cartman. BUT TAKING TURNS IS HOW WERE DOING IT, KAY?

If the early fights are anything to go on, though, the battling is fast and involving. You can select your abilities from a radial wheel, from standard attacks to special moves. As a thief, I was armed with a toy dagger and able to perform backstabs. Each move comes with its own timed button presses to boost your attacks, and if you can time your presses in defence, you can reduce the damage you take. The interaction keeps things moving at a steady pace, while strategic quirks are introduced fairly quickly. Enemies with armour must be attacked with a charged strike, but shields must be battered with quicker standard attacks. Enemies are stacked, often with archers behind melee opponents, meaning you need to use a projectile attack of your own. Status effects such as bleeding and paralysis can be administered or received. Health points can be topped up by scoffing Cheesy Poofs, while a waft of a Taco will revive the unconscious; health potions by another name.

Its wholly familiar stuff, but presented in such a way as to be breezily enjoyable. The sight of Butters, playing a mage, boosting your health by simply giving you a pat on the back before launching an actual claw hammer during a kids play fight is quite the thing. You can attach items you find in the world to your weapon as strap-ons which add properties or extra damage to your attacks, such as a dead bird which offers up gross-out damage. Then there is what Cartman calls the Dragon Shout, a super move in which you wiggle the control sticks in order to build an enormous fart before releasing your charged flatulence at your enemies. Or you could simply relieve yourself in the bathroom, but keep the result in your inventory as a faeces-themed hand grenade.

Id hazard that if poo-bombs arent your thing, The Stick of Truth is not going to appeal. This is very much South Park, the cartoons influence dictating a fun, accessible RPG in its own inimitable way. It is a testament to both Obsidian and South Park Studios that the two parts feel like a whole and that the respective studios had a blast pulling them together but the question is how long they can sustain each other over the course of the game? Will the joke run thin, or the mechanical accessibility give way to repetitive simplicity? Impossible to tell from the first hour, but the fact Im excited to see what follows that hour suggests they are on the right track.

Junio should not be praised for giving spot to Morrison

Posted: at 11:42 am

This is the most politically incorrect thing youll read all day: Gilmore Junio lost.

One of four Canadian men competing in Wednesdays 1,000-metre event, the 23-year-old long-track speed skater quit disqualifying himself so Canada could win. So he would lose.

He quit so Denny Morrison, in what could be his last Olympics, could have another chance at a podium the story of these Games.

But the story has only been written one way and the legitimacy of Morrisons medal completely ignored.

The "story" competitive spirit be damned the majoritys only concern.

A fall at the Olympic trials should have kept Morrison out of the race.

Four Canadians including Junio were supposed to compete in Wednesdays event.

During the single-round event, Canadas Muncef Ouardi finished 32nd, William Dutton 26th and Vincent de Haitre 20th, close to two seconds off the pace.

They competed. Junio didnt.

After reportedly being approached by Canadian coach Sean Ireland to forfeit his spot, the 41st-ranked Junio agreed to a self-imposed disqualification that quite frankly calls the entire competition into question.

Danish zoo kills giraffe to prevent inbreeding

Posted: at 4:42 am

By RICHARD STEED and MALIN RISING Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Saying it needed to prevent inbreeding, the Copenhagen Zoo killed a 2-year-old giraffe and fed its remains to lions as visitors watched, ignoring a petition signed by thousands and offers from other zoos and a private individual to save the animal.

Marius, a healthy male, was put down Sunday using a bolt pistol, said zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro. Visitors, including children, were invited to watch while the giraffe was then skinned and fed to the lions.

Marius' plight triggered a wave of online protests and renewed debate about the conditions of zoo animals. Before the giraffe was killed, an online petition to save it had received more than 20,000 signatures.

But the public feeding of Marius' remains to the lions was popular at Copenhagen Zoo. Stenbaek Bro said it allowed parents to decide whether their children should watch what the zoo regards as an important display of scientific knowledge about animals.

"I'm actually proud because I think we have given children a huge understanding of the anatomy of a giraffe that they wouldn't have had from watching a giraffe in a photo," Stenbaek Bro said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

He said the zoo, which now has seven giraffes left, followed the recommendation of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria to put down Marius by because there already were a lot of giraffes with similar genes in the organization's breeding program.

The Amsterdam-based EAZA has 347 members, including many large zoos in European capitals, and works to conserve global biodiversity and achieve the highest standards of care and breeding for animals.

Stenbaek Bro said EAZA membership isn't mandatory, but most responsible zoos are members of the organization.

He said his zoo had turned down offers from other ones to take Marius and an offer from a private individual who wanted to buy the giraffe for 500,000 euros ($680,000).

Swiss TV: Voters back limit on immigration

Posted: at 4:42 am

By FRANK JORDANS and ANJA NIEDRINGHAUS Associated Press

GENEVA (AP) - Voters in Switzerland narrowly backed a proposal to limit immigration Sunday, in a blow for the government after it had warned that the measure could harm the Swiss economy and relations with the European Union.

The decision follows a successful last-minute campaign by nationalist groups that stoked fears of overpopulation and rising numbers of Muslims in the Alpine nation.

Opinion polls before the vote put opponents of the plan in the lead, but as ballot day neared the gap began to close.

Swiss public television SRF reported that some 50.3 percent of voters eventually backed the proposal to introduce quotas for all types of immigrants. About 49.7 percent voted against it, a difference of fewer than 30,000 votes. Support was particularly strong in rural areas, while cities such as Basel, Geneva and Zurich rejected the proposal.

"This has far-reaching consequences for Switzerland...and our relations with the European Union," Justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga said after the vote. "It's a shift away from the current system of free movement of people."

Although Switzerland isn't a member of the EU it enjoys close ties to the 28-nation bloc. Bern has painstakingly negotiated a series of bilateral agreements with Brussels, including one that allowed most of the EU's 500 million citizens to live and work in Switzerland with little formality. Swiss citizens, in turn, could do the same in the European Union.

Under Swiss law the government now has to renegotiate its treaty on the free movement of people, though it is still unclear what kind of caps will be placed on immigration, and when. Switzerland already introduced quotas for immigrants from eight central and eastern European nations two years ago.

The latest decision is likely to have much more far-reaching consequences though, as hundreds of thousands of well-educated foreigners from Germany, France, Italy and other EU countries work in Switzerland. Ahead of Sunday's referendum business groups warned that many of the 80,000 people who moved to Switzerland last year are vital for the country's economy, and curtailing immigration further could cost Swiss citizens' jobs too.

The Swiss Bankers Association expressed disappointment at the vote. "We urgently need to hold constructive talks with the EU to explain our position," it said.

Coetzee comes from 4 back to claim 1st Euro title

Posted: at 4:42 am

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - George Coetzee came from four shots back to win the Joburg Open, his first European Tour title, and a place at the British Open on a profitable Sunday for the South African.

Coetzee's final-round 6-under 66, with six birdies and no bogeys, took him to 19-under 268 overall and past compatriots Thomas Aiken and Justin Walters, the overnight co-leaders.

The 27-year-old Coetzee was flawless on the East Course at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club to clinch his maiden title in his 107th tour event, a sequence that included 24 top-10 finishes.

"I don't know what I'm feeling," he said. "I'm lost for words. I've been waiting a while and I started doubting so I'm very happy."

Coetzee won by three shots from England's Tyrrell Hatton (66), South Korea's Jin Jeong (71) and Walters (73), who needed an eagle on the last to take Coetzee to a playoff and made bogey instead. Jeong and Walters claimed the other two British Open places on offer at Royal Joburg, with Hatton missing out because his world ranking was lower than the two he tied with for second, the European Tour said.

Aiken struggled to a 74 and was tied for fifth on 15 under with Englishmen Andy Sullivan and Matthew Baldwin and Spaniard Alvaro Quiros.

Charl Schwartzel, No. 4 in the Race to Dubai and the highest-placed player on Europe's money list competing in Johannesburg, was tied for 59th after a second straight 72.

Coetzee was smooth through his final round to set the target at 19 under and birdied all three of the par 5s in his front nine. He enjoyed a lucky break on No. 15 when his wayward tee shot bounced off a tree and back into the fairway and he went on to sink a 20-foot putt for birdie.

Hatton and Jeong couldn't catch him and, two shots back with two to play, Walters left a birdie putt just short on No. 17 to leave himself a tough task on the last. He could only manage bogey, with Coetzee, from nearby Pretoria, confirmed as the champion while he was signing autographs for fans.

"I got to share this with my family and my friends," the first-time winner said. "It was my mum's birthday yesterday and I wanted to do it for her as I forgot to buy her a present."

Wust takes gold at 3rd straight Winter Olympics

Posted: at 4:42 am

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

SOCHI, Russia (AP) - Ireen Wust held up three fingers.

One nail was painted red. The others were white and blue.

Gold would've worked, too.

Wust claimed a speedskating gold medal at her third straight Winter Olympics, knocking off defending champion Martina Sablikova in the 3,000 meters Sunday. That made the Netherlands 2-for-2 at Adler Arena, the world's dominant speedskating nation living up to his billing through the first weekend in Sochi.

"Seventeen million Dutch wanted me to win," said Wust, who painted her nails in the colors of the Dutch flag. "Now the extreme pressure is off, and I can win more."

Skating in the next-to-last pairing on sea-level ice that wore down some other top contenders, including Germany's Claudia Pechstein, the winner looked strong all the way through. She won with a time of 4 minutes, 0.34 seconds, easily beating the number Sablikova had just put up in the previous pairing.

"The relief is immense," Wust said, "and the satisfaction even greater."

Sablikova, of the Czech Republic, settled for the silver in 4:01.95, clapping for her rival after Wust crossed the line.

The bronze went to Olga Graf, who gave host Russia its first medal of the Winter Games in 4:03.47. That sent the crowd into a frenzy - and even brought kudos from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Plushenko extends Russia's lead in team event

Posted: at 4:42 am

By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer

SOCHI, Russia (AP) - A master showman and four-time Olympic medalist, Evgeni Plushenko knows brilliance on the ice.

He saw it Sunday night inside the Iceberg at Sochi's Olympic Park from a countrywoman half his age. And he is certain Russia's figure skating future is secure in the skates of Julia Lipnitskaia.

"She is a genius," Plushenko said.

Along with eight teammates, the 31-year-old veteran and 15-year-old Olympic rookie won the new event of team figure skating and lifted the host nation to its first gold medal of the Sochi Olympics. Together, they put Russia back atop a sport it once dominated.

"My main motivation today," Lipnitskaia said, "was not to let the team down."

There was no chance of that in an arena packed with her exulting countrymen, including President Vladimir Putin. The Russians skated away from Canada and the United States to win the gold before the final free dance even started.

In no discipline did Russia finish worse than third, compiling 75 points to Canada's 65 that won silver and the 60 that gave bronze to the Americans.

It was a rout built on the experience of Plushenko, the consummate entertainer who now has two golds and two silvers - a record for modern-era figure skaters.

It was victory capped by the freshness of Lipnitskaia, who donned a Russia baseball cap when she was done with her sublime tour of the ice, sat with her triumphant teammates and grinned like the school kid she is.
