Birmingham City's Under 23s missed out on applying a silver-lining to their excellent campaign by the narrowest of margins at Elland Road.

What was a microcosm of a first team match, Leeds United all possession-based and Blues' faithful to their team shape coiled for the break, ended 0-0 after extra time before the hosts won the penalty shoot-out 4-2.

Blues ' youngsters - and they are young, they finished normal time with strikers aged 15 and 16-years-old, gave a superb account of themselves.

Birmingham City suffer heartbreak against Leeds United as Championship attendances revealed

They finished second in the north section of the Professional Development League 2 - behind Leeds, with the table looking thus:

The success mirrors that of the first team - and is largely born from the fact the Under 23s, under Richard Beale and Paul Robinson, now mirror the first team.

Garry Monk sits at the top of the Birmingham City pyramid and this season has insisted on a closer ties between all age levels.

The 23s are the lifeblood of the first team, the 18s are the lifeblood of the 23s - and so the trickledown continues.

"When I came in here, seeing what best practice and the best environments was I'd worked in, I wanted to bring them close to me and the first team.

"They're professional players now and not academy players.

"I spoke to Bealey in the summer and I wanted the U23s to work closer with the first team, basically they're mirroring everything we do physically and fitness-wise, I think that's the biggest benefit for the young pros.

"Also training with the first team and being close with the first team for two reasons.

No 1 it gives the player the best opportunity.

"If there's a young player in there that is going to come and train with the first team, he might have a chance to play with the first team.

Birmingham City's development coach Richard Beale

"Then he has a really clear idea already of what he's going to walk into.

"If he doesn't have that idea and I'm training in a session and it's a tactical session and I'm spending 20 minutes with that young lad, then he's not going to benefit from that because he's going to be behind.

"The second one was to let them have a pathway to see that they can get there and be close to it.

5 things we learned as Leeds United inflicted play-off misery on Birmingham City U23s

"Bealey along with Robbo and his other staff have done a fantastic job this season and you can see the benefit of having worked closely with us and having that kind of link.

"There's a lot of work to be done in terms of developing these young players.

"But my job is to put a player in the first team when I believe he is ready to make it."

Midfield Charlie Lakin has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, played 11 matches, including five Championship starts.

In doing so he triggered a clause in his contract to earn an extended deal.

Connal Trueman started the season in goal, made a couple of appearances and would have played at Reading on the final day had he not been ill.

He has spent the season as back-up to Lee Camp.

Bez Lubala has been used sporadically, making four appearances and regularly featuring in the match-day squad.

Wes Harding, a graduate last season, has continued his progress and played 30 matches this term.

The 22-year-old is building an excellent career.

And Josh Dacres-Cogley has only played a couple of times but has been a constant around the match day squad.

Fifteen-year-old Jude Bellingham, who played in the Playoff final at Leeds, has been 19th man on a couple of occasions.

'Sick of it' Birmingham City striker Che Adams makes this admission

Former Blues - and Leeds - defender Paul Robinson was in charge of the 23s at Elland Road and gave a glowing assessment of the campaign.

"We have more than exceeded our expectations this season," Robinson said.

"When you play a new system linked to the first team it's not what these kids are used to.

"From day one they have been brilliant, from pre-season we explained to them how it was going to be and what was wanted and they have taken everything on board.

"It's been a joy to work with them, I am proud to work with every single one of them.

Paul Robinson, Birmingham City FC Assistant Senior Development Coach

"It's just unfortunate the way it ends but a lot of them can stand up and be proud of themselves.

"The majority of them have trained with the first team when the gaffer wants them to, if he is short on bodies he will call them over and get them experienced on training sessions they do.

Birmingham City players left 'crying their eyes out' after penalty shootout pain at Leeds United

"It's now for them to decide 'Where do I want to be? Do I want to be playing in stadiums like Elland Road and experience big crowds?' And then go from there.

"I see quite a few of these players definitely having careers, hopefully at Birmingham City, I would like to see these players put the shirt on and run out at St Andrew's.

"But that's not my decision - that's the manager's.

We can only prepare them to be ready and get them in the right mindset and if the manager thinks they're ready that he can trust them to do that.

"It's as strong as it has been in my time at Blues, it's definitely improving.

I still think it can be better but that's just me from being in academies myself growing up.

This year has been a real statement of what we can do with the 23s and first team.

We are hoping we can continue that and take it forward.

"The best advice I can give them is take everything on board, listen to the right people around you and just go and experience as much as you can."

Leeds United's Gaetano Berardi challenges Birmingham City's Corey O'Keefe in the U23s final

Much as Birmingham City want to keep him under wraps Bellingham's talent is obvious and the attacker is the jewel in the crown.

Odin Bailey, who also played at Elland Road, has spent time out on loan and his ability has earned him time with the first team.

Steve Seddon has spent virtually the whole season out on loan, first at Stevenage in League Two and then fighting a successful relegation battle with AFC Wimbledon in League One.

He is slap, bang, left of centre on Monk's radar.

Others, Corey O'Keeffe, Geraldo Bajrami, Ryan Stirk, Ryan Burke and Adan George will be intent on forcing their way on it.

 When David Stockdale joined in 2018, Trueman dropped to fourth choice, and went on loan to Solihull Moors until January 2018. An injury to Stockdale in September left the club with only one fit professional goalkeeper (Legzdins was sold before the season started), so Trueman was recalled to act as backup to Kuszczak. When Stockdale returned to the starting eleven in November, manager Steve Cotterill retained Trueman in the matchday squad, but when Garry Monk took over in March, he recalled Kuszczak to the bench.
 At the end of the season, Monk told both Stockdale and Kuszczak they were free to find other clubs, and neither took part in the first team's pre-season training. A bid for Ipswich Town's Bartosz Białkowski came to nothing, and Trueman went through pre-season as first-choice goalkeeper. He made his Football League debut in the starting eleven for the opening match of Birmingham's 2018–19 season, a 2–2 draw at home to Norwich City in the Championship, and despite the arrival of the experienced Lee Camp kept his place for the visit to Middlesbrough. According to the "Birmingham Mail", Trueman "had no chance with a superbly struck goal but [was] all at sea on a couple of occasions", and Camp took over for the next match and the rest of the season, with Trueman as a regular on the bench.


For their 2017 entry, the broadcaster announced on 14 September 2016 that they would revert to a casting show format for the national final, similar to the format used in 2010 and 2012, which resulted in a first place and a top ten result respectively at Eurovision for Germany.

# Germany: Back to basics in German national final

The German national broadcaster, ARD, has today confirmed that the country will go back to basics in their upcoming national final, reverting back to a similar selection process which brought the country their best results to date.

Confirming their participation in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest to ESCToday back in May, it has today been confirmed that the German national broadcaster will once again opt for a national final in order to select the country's representative for the competition.

Over the past number of years, Germany has opted to select their representatives for the Eurovision Song Contest via the Unser Song für… selection procedure, bringing the country mixed results over recent years, including 2 consecutive last places.

Due to recent results, ARD has decided to go back to basics in order to select Germany's 2017 Eurovision representative; a total of 5 up and coming artists will compete for the right to fly the flag in the host city of Kiev next year, performing songs composed by globally successful national and international producers.

Entitled Unser Song 2017, submissions are now open for artists who are looking to compete in the national final.

Applications can be submitted via the official contest website unsersong2017.de.

Once submissions close, an expert committee will then shortlist a total of 30 candidates who will then compete in a second round of castings, where a total of 5 finalists will be selected to compete in the national final in Cologne on the 9 February 2017 from 20:15 CET, hosted by Barbara Schöneberger.

A 3-member jury panel will be present in the final who will comment on the performances by each of the finalists, consisting of members Tim Bendzko, Florian Silbereisen and Lena.

Whilst the jury panel will comment on the performances, the representative will be decided 100% via a public vote.

Lena, who represented Germany in both 2010 and 2011 and brought Germany their second Eurovision victory, encourages artists to submit their applications for the selection:

I can only advise everyone to send in their applications.

It could be the best decision of your life.

Watch Lena's winning Eurovision performance from 2010 once again!

Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017

Prior to the 2017 Contest, Germany had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in 1956. Germany has won the contest on two occasions: in 1982 with the song "Ein bißchen Frieden" performed by Nicole and in 2010 with the song "Satellite" performed by Lena. Germany, to this point, has been noted for having competed in the contest more than any other country; they have competed in every contest since the first edition in 1956 except for the 1996 contest when the nation was eliminated in a pre-contest elimination round. In 2016, the German entry "Ghost" performed by Jamie-Lee placed last out of twenty-six competing songs with eleven points; it was the second year in a row Germany placed last in the final.
 The German national broadcaster, ARD, broadcasts the event within Germany and delegates the selection of the nation's entry to the regional broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). NDR confirmed that Germany would participate in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest on 23 May 2016. Since 2013, multi-artist national finals had determined both the songs and performers to compete at Eurovision for Germany.

On 21 November, Lukaku scored twice in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa, becoming the fifth player under 23 years of age to score at least 50 Premier League goals, after Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. On 7 December, Lukaku scored a close-range goal in a 1–1 draw against Crystal Palace, his 50th in 100 appearances in all competitions for Everton. On 12 December, Lukaku became the first Everton player to score in six consecutive Premier League matches, and the first to score in seven consecutive matches in all competitions since Bob Latchford 40 years previously, when he opened the scoring in the "Toffees'" 1–1 draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road. In his next match, a 3–2 defeat to Leicester City, Lukaku became the first Everton player since Dave Hickson in 1954 to score in eight consecutive matches.
 On 6 February 2016, Lukaku scored his 20th goal of the season in a 0–3 victory at Stoke City, meaning he was the first Everton player since Graeme Sharp to score at least 20 goals in all competitions in consecutive seasons for Everton. The strike was also his 16th league goal of the season, equalling Premier League goal scoring records for Everton set by Tony Cottee and Andrei Kanchelskis in the mid-1990s. Lukaku followed this goal with another strike in a 0–2 victory at AFC Bournemouth's Dean Court for his 21st goal of the season. This victory sent Everton into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and equalled the number of goals scored in all competitions by Yakubu for Everton in the 2007–08 season, the previous best in the Premier League era. On 1 March, Lukaku scored in a 1–3 victory against Aston Villa at Villa Park, his 17th league goal of the season, a Premier League-era record for Everton.

Sub-ethnic groups of Dayak in Sarawak (2014)
 The 2015 census of Malaysia reported a population of 2,636,000 in Sarawak, making it the fourth most populous state. However, this population is distributed over a large area resulting in Sarawak having the lowest population density in the country with only 20 people per km. Although it has a low population density, the average population growth rate of 1.8%, from 2000 to 2010, is very close to the national average of 2.0%. In 2014, 58% of the population resided in urban areas with the remainder in rural areas, but over the next 10 years it is predicted that the urban population would rise to 65%. As of 2011, the crude birth rate in Sarawak was 16.3 per 1000 individuals, the crude death rate was 4.3 per 1000 population, and the infant mortality rate was 6.5 per 1000 live births.

# Hong Kong ePrix set to feature on season three calendar

Hong Kong is set to feature on the calendar for season three of the FIA Formula E Championship.

Formula E Holdings will propose to the FIA to include the Hong Kong ePrix on the provisional calendar for the 2016-2017 season.

The Hong Kong ePrix will take place on October 9 2016 subject to FIA track homologation.

The 2km circuit will run between Lung Wo Road and the Star Ferry, with cars reaching speeds of up to 225kph (140mph).

Exactly one year from now the cars will hit the track for the Hong Kong ePrix with DHL, the championship's Official Logistics Partner, delivering Formula E to the city's Central district.

Announced at a press conference at the Central Harbourfront Event space along with the reigning Formula E champion Nelson Piquet Jr, Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag, said: "The Hong Kong ePrix will be one of the highlights on the FIA Formula E Championship calendar.

As one of the most innovative, cutting-edge and fun-loving cities in the world, Hong Kong and Formula E share many of the same qualities.

We look forward to bringing all the fun and entertainment of Formula E to this amazing city, and international motorsport back to Hong Kong."

Lawrence Yu Kam-Kee, President of the Hong Kong Automobile Association (HKAA), the SAR's official motorsport body and the driving force behind the project, said: "I would like to thank the Hong Kong Government, and particularly the Tourism Commission, for their support in helping to make the Hong Kong ePrix a reality.

The street circuit will showcase our city to millions around the world, and demonstrate that Hong Kong can stage a major international event of the very highest calibre.

The Hong Kong ePrix will be far more than a race; it will be a celebration for the entire community."

The countdown to the Hong Kong ePrix is on with TAG Heuer, Formula E's Official Timekeeper.

The idea for a Hong Kong race first arose in 2013 when a design team visited the city. It was intended for inclusion in the 2014–15 season schedule, but negotiations and approval from local authorities, and motorsport's international governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), went longer than anticipated.

With the win against the San Antonio Stars on June 25, Seimone Augustus, Rebekkah Brunson, Maya Moore, and Lindsay Whalen became the winningest quartet in WNBA History with 122 wins, passing the Los Angeles Sparks quartet of Tamecka Dixon, Lisa Leslie, Mwadi Mabika, and Delisha Milton-Jones who recorded 121 from 1999 to 2004.

# Three Observations From Sunday's Lynx Win Over Stars

The Minnesota Lynx improved to a WNBA-best 11-1 overall on the season with an 87-78 victory over the San Antonio Stars on Sunday at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Here are our three observations from the game:

Heading into the final quarter of Sunday's game, the Lynx trailed the Stars 62-55 through three quarters.

But Minnesota would end up going on a late-game run in the fourth to come back to seal the victory.

The Lynx outscored the Stars 32-16 in the final frame to erase a seven-point deficit and win by nine.

In the fourth quarter alone, Minnesota shot 44.4 percent from the field, including going 4-of-6 from three.

The Lynx also got to the free throw line 13 times, making 12.

Sylvia Fowles and Maya Moore led the way for Minnesota in the win.

Fowles finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Moore had 22 points, four rebounds and two blocks.

The duo also came up big when the Lynx needed them most.

During the comeback in the fourth quarter, Fowles tallied 13 points and four rebounds, while Moore had 13 points and two rebounds.

Along with Fowles and Moore, Lindsay Whalen had 13 points, four rebounds and four assists, Seimone Augustus had 12 points and five assists, Natasha Howard had eight points and four rebounds and Rebekkah Brunson had four points and 10 rebounds.

With Sunday night's win, the quartet of Augustus, Brunson, Moore and Whalen recorded their 122nd win together, becoming the winningest foursome in WNBA history.

The Lynx quartet have now recorded a record of 122-30 overall together since 2011.

During that span, that has included three WNBA championships.

Win No. 122 passed Tamecka Dixon, Lisa Leslie, Mwadi Mabika and DeLisha Milton-Jones of the Los Angeles Sparks.

That group recorded 121 wins from 1999 to 2004.

The Lynx are back in action at 9 p.m. Friday against the Phoenix Mercury in Phoenix.

The game will be aired on Fox Sports North Plus and 106.1 BOB FM.

### There Are No Breaks For Temi Fagbenle

 The Lynx moved from their normal home, Target Center in Minneapolis, to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul for the 2017 season due to the renovation that would be taking place at Target Center. Due to the Minnesota Wild season beginning, the Lynx announced that the entirety of their playoff run would be played at the University of Minnesota's Williams Arena.
 The Lynx opened the season on May 14 with a 70-61 victory over the Chicago Sky. Sylvia Fowles led the way with 26 points and 10 rebounds. During the May 20 game versus the Dallas Wings, Rebekkah Brunson recorded her 3,000th career rebound, becoming the fifth player in league history to do so. Cheryl Reeve was named the inaugural WNBA Coach of the Month for the month of May. Lindsay Whalen became the all-time winningest player in WNBA history with 295 wins, with a June 9 victory over the Washington Mystics. The win broke the tie with Swin Cash, giving Whalen first place in that category all by herself.

# Atlus Is Bringing Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers To North America

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is coming to North America in spring 2013.

Originally released for Sega Saturn, Soul Hackers has been enhanced for the Nintendo 3DS with an auto-mapping function on the bottom screen and the ability to change difficulty levels mid-dungeon.

The 3DS version also has 30 more demons, a new theme song, and anime opening.

Of course, the most important feature is Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers has been localized in English.

RiseCapcom's Main Attraction At Comic-Con Is Monster Hunter 4

Fantastic news, let's hope Persona 2 EP's PSP port can make it to the west, too :)

As the non-believer who believed Atlus wouldn't bring this stateside in the DeSu2 post, I apologize, and state that I'M SO EXCITED CAN'T WAIT MY WALLET IS READY

I don't even know why you had doubts in the first place.

Atlus almost always localize their games ever since Nocturne.

EP PSP might be the only exception that's only because the PSP is dead in the west.

You can't expect to have things handed to you when you want it.

Now we will just have to wait patiently for SMTIV (Hopefully P2EP too)….

And then…I wonder what other project Atlus have…..

But I still believe that they will remake SMT Nocturne before releasing P5….

I intentionally skipped DS2 thinking an Overclocked would come soon.

The wait for an announcement is interminable.

Why would it already need an Overclocked version?

1. Because Devil Survivor 1 Overclocked was a successful product.

2. Because Devil Survivor 2 is getting an anime adaptation and it would be crazy NOT to rerelease the game to try and get some cross marketing going there.

They did it with P4 Golden and P4 Animation, and the same strategy should work well here too.

It was used as a test for the 3DS market.

Not that it was any better especially since you can play DS games on your 3DS.

However, the second point is the only valid reason I can accept.

It sucks for those of us who spent $30+ on the game this year.

Honestly, I much rather we get Devil Survivor 3 instead.

and maybe three, DS1 was 1,5 years old when overclocked was ported so theres no problem with bringing the second game of this series to 3DS.

Still I agree with you, it appears a strange move to port a game which eve was released less than two years ago and localized in this year.

However I think that reasons 1 and 2 appear to be main reason of this choice.

I'm surprised people really doubted this coming over.

Even though I'm still butt-hurt over lack of Nora (and always will be), that seemed like something that did actually have a lower chance of coming over, and I'm very excited to see it made official for Soul Hackers.

What is "Nora"? A game, or a character in this game?

It looked wonderful, never got localized.

Ah, looked it up and it did indeed seem quite charming.

Agreed, it looked really cute… although I wonder if it is too late now, or if the 3DS has made conversions of DS games a fools errand.

I really feel like it isn't too late, especially for an Atlus game.

Atlus has a healthy niche here, and they could advertise it enough probably (like the EO4 trailers), and I know there are plenty that want it still.

Whether Atlus themselves (or other companies, really) believe that, or will use the 3DS to justify not localizing DS titles (aside from just Nora) is really the question though.

Second worst case scenario, they may be convinced to just release it for online download on the 3DS?

I would be so sad for no physical OST option and all, but would really love and appreciate that still.

my body is ready, but not my wallet, as I still do not have a 3ds!!!

A little sad that it has to be on a handheld.

But it is certainly is far far better than nothing.

Personally, I prefer handhelds these days.

I know not everyone does though, but I just love being able to play where ever I feel like it.

This is a port of an almost 15 year old game, they'd never get away with releasing it on a console.

It's not like SMT4 where it might have been different had it made it to a console.

This game would sell like crap on console.

I don't even know why you are complaining.

It would need a complete remake from the ground up to even remotely sell well enough on the PS3/360.

Even then it wouldn't sell that well because it's not Persona.

Handhelds are cheaper and more accessible.

Not to mention people would be far more forgiving of a Sega Saturn port on the 3DS.

If people liked SJ, they will probably like SH too.

I am enjoing SJ a lot, so I hope the game will be released in PAL regions even more.

We will finally see if this is, as some say, "one of the best SMT games ever"

It looks awesome i hope it's released everywhere

Is it just me or my comments keep getting either deleted or just don't show up?

Also Soul Hacker has more story/dialogues and everything else is similar to SJ.

So it's a good combination and even if you dislike Strange Journey try giving SH an opportunity.

Okay Atlus I need to confess something to you.

I know it was wrong of me, but you know you were just so tight lipped that I… I doubted you.

I am sorry, I hope we can, you know, still be cool, still be okay.

Also bring P2: EP because I want to have all the Personas on a portable console.

Oh my gosh… if we don't see Persona 2: Eternal Punishment now it's gonna be all YOUR fault you know.

They try to be super fan friendly and nice to everyone but they're so naive .. it's real easy to hurt their feelings.

Persona 4 Arena only got region locked because of all those sub-par reviews Code of Princess and Growlanser Wayfarer of Time got.

and P4A came out two months before code of princess–it was region locked so Japanese gamers wouldn't import the cheaper Western copy.

IT'S NOT FUNNY IF YOU HAVE TO ASPLAIN IT

Honestly XD MY BODY IS REA- WAIT- My wallet is not ready for a 3DS!!

SMT DS SH…. still can't beat SMT DS2 RK vs KA ;P

Is it in the original game or is it a new one?

this made mz moring when i checked mz mail saw the stul email with this game title in it made me freak out

Oh Atlus, you always know how to take my money.

I was really starting to worry for a moment there.

Too bad the teaser doesn't show any of the voice acting.

I'm interested to see if they're going to re-do the voices in English or keep them in Japanese….or maybe give us both ?

Anyway, I'm so excited for this, and here is hoping for Atlus to release a LE or something.

I would buy 5 copies if Atlus ever released one for DSSH.

Great news now if they can bring Persona 2: EP then I will have absolute faith in Atlus no matter what.

But maybe include a SMT4 localization announcement too.

I've not seen enough anime to pin down the characteristics, but that was very distinctly not modern anime.

Looked more like Serial Experiments Lain (which is most of my retro anime exposure) than Persona 3/4.

Not that there's anything wrong with the contemporary style, but I love that this game is visually distinct from the rest of the SMT fold.

The SMT games generally are good about carving out their own visual niche I realize.

DDS was all about the dead eyes and minimalist facial animation.

Devil Survivor is more unfortunately distinct with it's huge mouths and gravity resistant D cups on every female character.

This trailer sort of had the anime thing from Persona going on, but it kinda had the DDS eyes going on too.

I really look forward to taking this game for a spin and seeing how else it stands apart.

Well, this was originally released on the Sega Saturn, so no wonder it looks different than Persona

Well this was back when Kaneko was still their full time SMT artist, so the designs are distinctively his.

I do like the heavy cyberpunk vibe though.

The SMT series has always had a bit of that, but not nearly as strong as here.

Soul Hackers, P1, and both P2s have a more mid to late 90s to early 00s anime style which make sense because this is a 15 years old game.

Just like SMT1 and 2 have a more late 80s to early 90s anime style.

I was just talking to my brother yesterday about whether or not SH would make it stateside.

As soon as I got the e-mail from ATLUS I went ahead and made the preorder.

I've never been disappointed by a Shin Megami Tensei or Dragon Quest game so those will always be no-brainers.

I'm just happy I'll have something to tide me over as I wait for them to announce the localization of SMT IV.

Atlus is awesome – their track record is fabulous in recent years!

Spring is going to be quite loaded for 3DS owners.

Competition is going to be sky high for niche localizations and things might get messy if nintendo announces a spring release for Luigi's mansion 2.

Instead of having pushed EVERYTHING to Q1 2013 publishers should have spread their releases through the year, because seriously: Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey, Soul Hackers, Monster Hunter 3G, and Unchained Blades for the late comers, all in the first 3 months of the year?

On the other hand, next year is looking good for dungeon crawling aficionados.

Indeed, next year is looking mighty fine for RPG 3DS fans.

Been sorta quiet on the 3DS scene these past few months, but all the spectacular releases next year more than make up for it.

I do agree with you though that they should have spread them out more… maybe a highlight game for each month would have been better?

Probably had to do with Nintendo wanting to focus the highlights on the Wii U, making everyone push everything until next year /tinfoil hat on

While I personally can't say I'm interested in first-person RPG's, I just might be swayed into obtaining this one because ATLUS seldom fails to present an intriguing story.

If that is the case here, then I'ma go get my computer-gunning on come Spring.

They should put the original on PS1 classic at least.

I don't have an account there yet so hopefully people are suggesting that option.

Unlike Revelations: Persona, Persona 2: EP actually had a solid localization (the only major issues were that it did it's best to retain the Revelations names like Ellen and Nate).

It wouldn't be the best option, but at least newcomers to the series could complete the Persona 2 saga.

Please Ghostlight (or any other amazing European publisher), do pick this game up eventually, or I'll have to get an american 3DS to play this (and SMT IV).

Calm down, they just didn't put it in the launch trailer, not really that unusual.

This game plus Fire Emblem make my year with 3DS.

Atlus the most adorable video game company ever!

This is truly an early Christmas gift in a form of a announcement.

Reminds me that I need to buy a 3DS someday . . . meh.

Seconding all the wishes for Europe to get the game too, and at a reasonable time!

I've never been a fan of first person RPGs, but after playing Soul Trigger I think I'm more open to the idea.

So I'll be keeping my eye on this title.

I cant understand those who thought the game wouldn't be released in NA.

Honestly, the game is on the 3DS, has a good reputation, is not on a deader that dead system, and is a SMT game.

(Australia and Europe, on the other hand…)

It still feels great to know that the localization is confirmed, I admit that's very cool!

Is more than official, Atlus is going to rule the 2013.

With DeSu Overclocked, SMTIV, that unannounced DeSu2 thing, and this, the 3DS is becoming quite the Shin Megami Tensei machine!

We never got Strange Journey, so forgive me for being a little skeptical.

Atlus doing something awesome is always a given x3

well i seen this comeing so im stoked about the officil word and as others have said cant wait for word on EP

…though this does passify me for a while,I want to pre order it already lol.

While I didn't doubt this game would be coming to the west, I'm just skeptical of the quality of the voice acting; the JP version had some top-notch seiyuu…

I guess if all else fails I can mute the voices XD

(I own the JP version of Soul Hackers but can't play it because region lock…well, whenever I get around to buying a 3ds anyways.)

The only MegaTen game that has ever had dual-audio was Persona 4 Arena, and that actually caused some problems for them.

I would not count on it being in the game.

Yea, I didn't even bother buying P4A, I think I was the only person who boycotted it though, rofl.

I don't mind a release date delay if it means the JP voices can stay; not like that matters 3DS is region locked anyways

Though at least in those cases I could still play an import (Argilla's voice in Japanese is hideous btw XD) I'll just be disappointed with the lack of JP voices if that's the case I guess (I really want to hear Gouto and Raidou in JP ._.)

First, they note that they'll be re-releasing Etrian Odyssey 1-3 in celebration of the 4th game's release and now this?

Atlus, why do you insist in taking my money?

I will be responsible with my money…I will be responsible with my money…

Although this is good news, it would be really good to get some news on the "Persona 3DS" game we heard about from Atlus from near the 3DS launch about a year ago

Pretty sure that doesn't actually exist.

It was likely just something Atlus was considering when the 3DS was launched and "announced" it to get people hyped for the console (or more likely, Nintendo asked them to "announce" it), and then later dropped it.

Atlus Japan is too busy working on SMT4 and Persona 5 to be working on a 3DS Persona game.

The unannounced Persona could very well be revealed too.

Hell it could even be P5 especially with how popular the 3DS is in Japan.

It's a little too early to write off the possibility of a Persona 3DS title.

I'm pretty certain they already revealed that P5 is going to be for HD consoles.

I recall a quote that said they were decided to build a new proprietary engine over using Catherine's.

It's not impossible that a 3DS Persona game will happen eventually, but I doubt it's currently in development.

I don't have a 3DS…. *grabs gun* time to rob someone.

Jokes aside, this is awesome news, I I'll try to get it one day :D.

Really, if Mila Kunis appeared to me right now and said "you look down, let's have sex", I'd scream "I'M HAPPY, BITCH" and slap her out of my house.

P.S.: If it were Zooey Deschanel, I'd have to accept.

What a stupid way to try to crack a joke.

You should DIE for commenting something I didn't find good.

I'm gonna kill your mom and bake a pie off her brains, you jerk.

I was eating while scrolling and I started choking.

Actually excited sounds like an understatement 8D

Aw come on, we've had and still have tons of those.

MegaTen1/2, SMT1/2/if, SMT Nine, SMT Ronde, Majin Tensei 1/2, a couple Last Bible games, and so on.

Actually, now that I think about it this is going to be the earliest SMT game to ever leave Japan isn't it?

None of the SNES or Gameboy stuff has been localized, it kind of all started with SMT 3 on the PS2.

SMT games are way hard, and old games are way hard.

The thought of an old SMT game is pretty terrifying.

P1 came out in 1996 and it was localize as Revelation: Persona.

Soul Hackers came out around 97 for the Sega Saturn.

Although you can still say it's one of the earlier megaten titles to be release in the west.

There was also Jack Bros. for the Virtual Boy, if you want to count a mascot game.

And, Persona 1 isn't even the oldest game in the franchise released in the US, the GBC remake of the first Last Bible game came out in the US as "Revelations:The Demon Slayer"

and the original GB version dates back to 1992!

No words can express the joy I feel from seeing this.

no one wants this 1990 first person crap…..well not many.

give me another digital devil game..,,damn u atlus.

we want new 3rd person smt games……damnit it all to hell.

What matters perspective if the gameplay is good?

I find this kind of funny, since DDS is pretty dated at this point too.

And considering those games were mostly just running through narrow corridors the 3rd person perspective didn't actually change all that much.

DDS could have easily been a first person dungeon crawler if they wanted.

How can you make comments saying no one/ not many people want(s) this when you can just scroll down and see the overwhelming want on this page you had "me" right in the second line but then went back to making over generalizations in the last line.

And people wonder why most old school megaten fans hate the new school crowd.

You seriously gives us megaten fans a bad name.

Damn it, why does there ALWAYS have to be someone like you on pages where everyone else is happy with something or someone?

(This along with EO4 and Bravely Default(please Squeenix!) mostly.)

Is there a longer version of the song used in the trailer (#X by wink wink)?

Atlus always step up above your spectations.

But Xseed…I will grow old before play TiTs Sc and Y's Celceta…

I like that Atlus kept the first person dungeon crawling, first person battles and random battles

The new dungeon (with some significant differences) was originally released for the Saturn before the PlayStation port, but was put on a extra CD that was limited to only 1,000 total. A port to the Nintendo 3DS was announced in 2012 for release in August 30 of that year. Directed by Kazuyuki Yamai, the port was based on the PlayStation version while featuring further enhancements and adjustments, including full voice acting and gameplay elements unique to the platform. Masayuki Doi designed a new demo for the game, while Eiji Ishida acted as art director. Original writers Masumi Suzuki and Yusuke Gonda returned to write new material. A new opening movie was produced by animation studio Satelight, who had become famous in Japan through their work on "Macross Frontier". The opening's theme song, "#X", was written by Yamai and incorporated the themes and motifs of "Soul Hackers". The song was composed and arranged by Ryota Kozuka, and translated into English by Toshihiro Takeuchi. Singer Wink Wink both sung the song and assisted with the translation. The port released digitally on the Nintendo eShop on December 25, 2014.

I wonder why they didn't put either of Chow's athletes on beam for TF?

Ahh ok revermind, the results hadn't come in yet.

It's great to see the juniors perform so well!

I wonder if any of them (who are age eligible) will be able to make it to Rio given how talented and deep the seniors look

I should prob wait to watch Norah's beam routine but any idea why Norah's beam was out of 6.1 only?

I thought she had a higher starting value.

What a great comeback for Laurie Hernandez!

Good luck to all the juniors in event finals.

I saw the score but didn't watch the routine!

she stumbled out o0f her double arabian and fell (actually, she was doing the stag jump but went so much forward that she fell outside the floor mat); then she finished OOB on her second tumbling pass; anyway, she completed the routine, so I suppose she's ok!

Kyla had such a solid day other than that fx 😦 She looked like she had way too much adrenaline on that first pass!

😦 She was having a great meet and with her typical floor routine on pace for 2nd or 3rd.

I'm not worried its bailies first meet back since her injury.

But she'll get the last laugh buy the end of the year and next she'll have her armarar done I know it

She did great for her senior international debut and first time back after such a long time!

I was super excited to see where she was gonna stand today!

The amanar is a big question for her TBH.

Her DTY looked much better in competition today, but previously she had been struggling a little with even getting it around, as well as some form issues, but I'm sure that will continue to improve.

Right now, the name of the game in USA is how many events can you be top 3?

A lot of people thought Bailie would be a given for Rio.

With all the strong comebacks it's not so much a given anymore.

We will no doubt see a lot of upgrades from many girls over the course of this season and next.

Will she hold top 3 for USA on UB by the end of the season?

Not likely with upgrades from Douglas and the return of Locklear, Kocian, etc.

What about beam? She wasn't even top 4 there today, but of course she can improve that.

Just pointing out that USA is SOOOO DEEP right now.

It will be fascinating to see how worlds selection plays out!

It's gonna be a great year for gym fans.

There were some people who were unhappy that Key was pulled out of most 2014 comps (especially coming to them, then not competing).

Several people on the gymternet definitely questioned her coaches and what it meant for her senior début

That being said, I agree that she had a fabulous competition!

another unbeatable performance!! Leading even on her "weak" UB event?!

I can only hope that simone will continue to upgrade her gorgeous FX and VT (at least a cheng if she don't ever disappointingly try a TTY).

Hope she also will embrace UB more seeing how much better she can get…

Key put up a great fight considering she didn't compete for most of last year with injury.

I hope key can get back her gorgeous beam again…

She definitely could be better but didn't disappoint today.

Aly and Gabby comeback is definitely legit considering how long they have been off.

Great first competition for them….Hope they will continue to get better….. Now if they can ever talk to Mckayla

Disappointed for kyla… Really hope she will get things back for classics and nationals… She is at real risk of being left out of worlds :(….

You are way off, I don't think Kyla is at all in risk of being left out.

She has been an extremely consistent competitor for the last three years medaling every time.

This wasn't even remotely a bad meet for her it was one bad event.

I agree with you, actually many gymnasts struggled to stick the landings and stumbled out of them, I wonder if it has to do with the floor itself..

I mean, it's not AAI, it's jf or gymnova so maybe it pushes in a slight different way form AAI and it'harder to adapt to it?

Anyway I think Kyla had a good day overall except on floor, the other scores were really good!

I guess my initial response was a little exaggerated considering how good she was doing till then…

So was kind of disappointing the ending for her.

I am actually a fan of her and just feeling really bad considering how good her new FX was in training….

anyway, I do think she will come back again….

With US having such strong all arounders in simone, key, aly, douglas, and kyla, they are unbeatable in depth with no other federation having as many strong AA.

just sucks that we probably won't see all 5 at worlds or rio….

That makes sense!I'm sorry too that she fell, since she was doing so well…but I'm sure she'll fix everything, she's such a great competitor!

But it's true that right now the U.S. competition field is full of great all-arounders, it's interesting to see what will happen from now on 🙂

I agree – I don't think Kyla is at risk of being left out of worlds based on this meet.

Also, a woman at the meet said on Twitter that Kyla was icing her leg during warm ups, so perhaps that had something to do with floor, though I think she just had too much bounce/power on her first pass and then was shocked and/or slightly hurt through the rest of it.

I actually think that this meet could point toward a 2015 Worlds Team of Biles, Ross, Key, Raisman, Douglas and Baumann!

Thought there are many more months to go.

Kyla's scores were necessary for Team USA on 3 events today; she scored the second highest vault (15.4), put up the second highest UB and tied for third on BB (but a score of 14.9 is nothing to gaff at!).

And as usual she did all this with less difficulty than her competitors.

She's training harder dance skills on fx and mentioned upping UB to make a world's final so i think considering what she contributed today, by the time World's comes around, her place on the team and what she offers in terms of consistency, elegance, execution, and high scores will be more noticeable.

Besides, she and Simone are the only ones Martha can depend on thru everything lol!

Kyla was in the top 3 for the US on every other event besides floor (on BB, she tied for 3rd highest score with Douglas).

Now this will change by the end of the season.

Once other girls start throwing amanars (Douglas, Raisman, ?Baumann, etc), I would doubt she'll stay in the top 3 on vault.

Also she will have to work really hard to stay top 3 on BB as we're likely going to see improvements from Raisman and Douglas there as well, maybe even Key (although this was admittedly not Kyla's best beam today).

It's unbelievable how many great all arounders the US is fielding right now.

It's going to make worlds selection really tricky.

We say this literally every year: Kyla ur not gonna be competitive by the time so and so blah blah blah…lol.

Besides, she said she couldnt upgrade last year even though she understood she wouldnt be able to make so many finals, so she knows what she has to do to stay on top.

On the plus side she graduates this spring so she can focus solely on gymnastics from now on.

But seriously every year we say she'll be replaced and every year she's still our number 2.

With upgrades her position will be maintained even as others upgrade.

It's just the way it is when ur gymnastics is flawless and consistent.

Sorry, did that come off as me not giving her any credit?

I was actually responding to the person who said she put her worlds spot in jeopardy, because I DON'T think she did.

I'm just pointing out that USA is a lot deeper this year than they were last year –

So her consistency is not going to be as big of an asset COMPARATIVELY to last season.

It will be a race to the top 3 between many girls.

I will not be at all shocked if we see Kyla on another worlds team.

I'm just so excited to see how this plays out.

I need to step away from the gymternet – I can't seem to peel myself away from it the last few days!

Will Aly Raisman actually get her AA bronze, or will that go to Erika Fasana due to the 2-per country rule?

Three gymnasts per country allowed in AA at Jesolo so US sweeps senior AA podium :).

Well, marta did comment something about testing out a 2015 worlds team at this meet.

With the current team, they can definitely qualify two to FX, BB.

They can probably qualify at least one to UB (although won't be able to medal) and definitely one to VT.

So the question is how much specialist you want to try to win more EF medals….

Thus there is still a role for locklear, kocian and even skinner….

Based on today result, unless the upcoming juniors have some upgrades, I don't know if we will see any of them in rio due to the strong current senior performance.

but anything can happen in 15 months I guess

For those who don't have gymnashit gold, some routines from the Italian broadcast are already up on YouTube!

Simone Biles is killin' it posting the highest score on her "weak" event, bars.

Loved watching Aly and Gabby's floor routines – what a comeback.

Congrats to Bailie Key for finishing second.

Hopefully she can make some upgrades and make it to some event finals in the future.

Excited for Alyssa Baumann, Victoria Nguyen, and Norah Flatley in the beam finals!

Interesting that had US junior team compete as senior they would have place as 2nd team.

But it's also interesting to see the gap between the senior and junior US team….

All the US girls routines for those that want to replay or missed them:

What time will event finals be streaming tomorrow everyone?!

Can someone post a link for Jesolo EF live feed?

There's not a countdown video link on the Italian site like for the senior team and AA right now.

looks like the FGI was able to have live feed to the senior team and AA but seems like they couldn't archive the video afterward

Lauren, thank you for all your hard work! 🙂

Videos have a "private" links but I've saved some of them

Why did Simone Biles not compete in the bars final and Norah Flatley in the floor final even though they qualified?

I don't think simone cared much about not doing bars.

She doesn't exactly love bars and probably appreciated a break for her shoulders,,.

and she already prove that she could sweep the ef podium anyway.

Key may now be called upon to further her bars more now?

Barring injury, I didn't realize a team coach could make substitutes for finals.

They can't really in FIG competition, but invitationals like this I like to refer to as "no rules" meets.

Canada also did a substitute with their juniors on floor.

At invitationals it's sometimes like, your country earned the spot, so the spot is still technically yours and you can swap in another athlete.

For the U.S. it was basically a way to get experience for some of the others who didn't make a final but are typically strong on that event.

Like, in a team final at a competition like Worlds, Simone probably isn't the first choice for bars, but Bailie could be, so might as well get her out there and competing it.

Plus, yeah, Simone definitely could've used a rest!

Last year, Alyssa and Mykayla made mistakes on beam and floor in TFs, and Alyssa ended up qualifying to FX and Mykayla made it on BB, so Martha just swapped the two since it made more sense to have it be the opposite and the Italian federation really doesn't care.

Huang collaborated on the screenplay with no less than six writers: Zhang Ji, Guo Junli, Zha Muchun, Cui Siwei, Xing Aina, and Huang Zhanzhong.

(meta data) TITLE: 'The Island' Review – Variety

Read Next: Locarno Film Review: 'Instinct'

## Shipwrecked survivors start squabbling in the entertaining directorial debut of Chinese comedy star Huang Bo

Chinese comedy superstar Huang Bo ("Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons") makes a good first stab at directing with "The Island," an entertaining if overlong dramedy about company workers splitting into rival factions after being shipwrecked on a desert island.

This mix of broad humor, survivalist drama and romance opens brightly and ends with a bang but stutters a little in the middle.

Huang's name and a cast including box-office draws Shu Qi and Wang Baoqiang should ensure strong domestic business, while the universally accessible "Lord of the Flies"-like premise ought to help attract audiences in offshore markets.

"The Island" opens in China, North America, and several other international territories on Aug. 10.

Huang, who collaborated on the screenplay with no less than six writers, also plays the central role of Ma Jin, a debt-ridden, middle-aged loser.

Along with goofy best buddy Xing (Zhang Yixin), Ma is obliged to participate in a corporate team-building exercise on an amphibious bus called the Surfing Duck Boat.

Before the craft has even hit the water, it's clear Ma cares little about the rah-rah rallying of boss Zhang (Yu Hewei) and only has eyes for Shan Shan (Shu Qi), a colleague he adores but is too scared to talk to.

Funny lines and amusing sight gags pepper the opening sequences, culminating in Ma going ape when the numbers on his 60 million RMB ($8.8 million) lottery ticket come in.

In the blink of an eye the bus is hit by a tsunami triggered by a meteor passing dangerously close to Earth.

Following a spectacular sequence in which the vehicle narrowly avoids underwater collisions with a massive freighter and a huge whale, it lands on an island in the middle of nowhere.

Without any means of communication and thinking they may be the only survivors of Doomsday itself, the 29-member group soon begins squabbling.

While not devoid of humorous moments, the film's middle section plays out primarily as a political allegory and study in human reaction to adversity.

First to emerge as leader is bus driver Dicky Wang ("Lost in Thailand" star Wang Baoqiang), a former soldier and circus monkey trainer who uses violence and intimidation to establish a dictatorship

A breakaway group led by Zhang and pony-tailed heavy Yang Hong (Fang Xiaohang) set up camp in an overturned ship that has washed up on a beach and introduce a capitalist-style trading system with playing cards serving as the new currency.

Though the pace drags with a few too many scenes showing how power corrupts everyone it touches, the film leaps back to life when Ma and Xing emerge as peacemakers.

Their diplomacy unites warring parties and initiates a period of collective harmony that includes a delightful, flash mob-style dance sequence.

What many viewers will find most satisfying is Ma's motivation for bringing an end to factional hostilities.

After resigning himself to never collecting the lottery winnings, Ma wants only to prove himself worthy of Shan Shan's love.

Seen only briefly thus far as the voice of reason in a world going mad, Shu steps into the spotlight at this point with all the screen magnetism she's become famous for (in films such as "If You Are the One" and "The Assassin").

Now firmly anchored by this appealing odd-couple romance, "The Island" packs in plenty more plot twists en route to a highly satisfying finale that is somewhat undercut by the inclusion of "what happened next" footage during the lengthy end-credit roll.

Attractively filmed on stunning locations, "The Island" is very well served by an eclectic score that includes everything from jazzy jungle rhythms to atmospheric synthesizer soundscapes that wouldn't be out of place on an early '70s Krautrock album.

All other technical contributions are right on the money.

In 2017, Afrihost launched 24-hour support for its customers.

(meta data) TITLE: Yes, Afrihost has 24-hour support

(meta data) AUTHOR: https://www.facebook.com/mybroadband

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/mybroadband

The Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa (ASA) has dismissed a consumer complaint against Afrihost's 24-hour support claim.

Afrihost's website states that "You can get a call back anytime of the day or night by SMSing Help to 32541".

One consumer lodged a complaint against the ISP, arguing that "the advertising is misleading as the 24-hour technical support is just SMS service offered after hours".

Afrihost responded, saying its after-hours support service is an SMS service, and the advertising clearly states that.

Afrihost revealed call logs which showed it tried to call the customer after receiving his SMS requesting support, but that he did not answer his phone.

The ASA agreed with Afrihost, saying it is clear that one must SMS after hours for support and that an agent will call as soon as possible.

"From the call records, this did occur," said the ASA.

The ASA dismissed the complaint and ruled the advertising is not misleading.
