Overview:
All for You is the seventh studio album by American singer Janet Jackson. It was released on April 24, 2001, by Virgin Records. The album's development and theme were rooted in Jackson's separation from husband René Elizondo Jr. as she attempted to move on. Contrary to The Velvet Rope, which saw Jackson tackling darker themes such as domestic violence and depression, All for You showcased a mix of upbeat dance-pop and slow R&B sounds, incorporating rock, disco, and funk, as well as soft rock and East Asian music. Its lyrics focus on passion, romance, and intercourse, while also discussing themes of betrayal and deceit. The explicit language and sexual content of several songs sparked controversy, causing the album to be banned in several countries.

All for You received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended its upbeat nature and the sonic innovation of several songs. It was also considered one of her sexiest albums and among the best of her career. The album received three Grammy Award nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Album, winning Best Dance Recording for its title track. It became Jackson's fifth consecutive album to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States. All for You logged the biggest opening week sales of her career, as well as the second highest first-week sales for a female artist in Nielsen Soundscan history. It reached the top five of most countries internationally and was the biggest selling international pop album of the year in Japan. Certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), it has sold over three million copies in the US according to Nielsen and an estimated five million copies internationally. All for You was the twelfth best-selling album of the year worldwide, and was one of the best-selling albums of the decade in the United States.

Its lead single "All for You" was one of Jackson's most successful singles and broke multiple airplay records. In the US, it was the biggest hit of the year, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and became a top ten hit on the majority of singles charts worldwide. "Someone to Call My Lover" reached number three on the Hot 100 and within the top twenty internationally while "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)" peaked within the top forty in most territories. "Come On Get Up" was also released as a promotional single in Japan.

In promotion for the album, Jackson was declared MTV's inaugural Icon, receiving a televised tribute titled MTV Icon: Janet Jackson. The special honored Jackson's contribution within music and popular culture, in recognition of "one of the most influential and beloved tastemakers in contemporary pop." During that period, Jackson was presented numerous career accolades, including the American Music Award's Award of Merit, TMF Award's Lifetime Achievement Award, and Recording Academy's Governor's Award.

Overview:
Madonna is the self-titled debut album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on July 27, 1983 by Sire Records. The album was re-released in 1985 for the European market and re-packaged as The First Album. In 1982, while establishing herself as a singer in Downtown New York, Madonna met Seymour Stein, president of Sire Records, who signed her after listening to her single "Everybody". The success of the single prompted Sire to sign her for an album's deal. For the album, Madonna chose to work with Reggie Lucas, a Warner Bros. producer. However, she was not happy with the completed tracks and disagreed with Lucas's production techniques, so decided to seek additional help with the production.

Madonna then invited her boyfriend at the time, John "Jellybean" Benitez, to help her finish the album. Benitez remixed many of the tracks and produced "Holiday". The overall sound of Madonna is dissonant, and is in the form of upbeat synthetic disco, utilizing some of the new technology of the time, like the usage of Linn drum machine, Moog bass and the Oberheim OB-X synthesizer. The songs on the album are sung by Madonna in a bright, girlish vocal timbre, and lyrically talks about love and relationships.

Contemporary critics have applauded the album, but Madonna was dismissed by some critics when it was released in 1983. In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named it as the fifth of "Top 100 Best Albums of Past 25 Years." The album was successful on the charts, reaching number eight on the Billboard 200, and the top ten of the charts in Australia, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It was certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipment of five million copies across the United States. Worldwide the album has sold more than ten million copies.

Five singles were released from the album, with "Holiday" becoming her first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Lucky Star", her first top-five hit. The album was promoted by The Virgin Tour in 1985. Madonna has often remarked that she wished she had more variety in the songs of the album, and had more creative control. However, critics and scholars have credited the album for popularizing dance music as mainstream genre. It set the standard for dance-pop and pointed musical direction for a host of female artists. The album is also noted for heralding Madonna's arrival in the music scene and launching her career as a disco diva.

This game is what I will be getting back into. I have played the whole Diablo series and need to see the ending of this game for sure!

We're happy to announce an update to the NPC vendor experience which will reward players for their patronage to vendors throughout the realm. Vendors may also give frequent visitors tasks to complete for rewards.

Vendors also have their own lives, and will not be found working 24/7 at all locations throughout the realms. We encourage you to engage with the vendors, and learn more about the rewards and benefits as part of your journey.

You may now use these speech-enabled 'commands' when interacting with vendors:

Hello
Bye

Record
Task
Accept task
Cancel task

<name of vendor> sent me
Task completed
Task done

Enjoy! Good luck on your explorations and ongoing interaction with the vendor population.

New patch for some minor fixes to the client and update some files for some upcoming events.

I cannot find the TGDB link for it, but this is the game I am most looking forward to (more so even than Ashes of Creation. Early access is scheduled to release sometime in 2024. I am ready to lose myself in this world.

"Welcome to a vast, social sandbox MMO inspired by the legends of the medieval era. Here, myths are real, ghosts exist, and magic is unquestioned.

Greetings to all adventurers of FC, not just DiJ Guild Members!

We'll be hosting an all-Faerham Citadel player Meet & Hunt. Come to meet your fellow friends and adventurers on the server. Get to know those who are here, and share your love for Ultima. Afterward, we will be going on a short adventure together through a dungeon.

Perhaps a staff member will show up unexpectedly and bless us with their presence for a moment? You never know what could happen!

I look forward to seeing all of you at the DiJ Guild Hall on Saturday, April 13th at 7 pm Eastern. If you do not have a rune to the hall, a gate will be provided for you.

**Please note April 13th @ 7 pm EST is the correct time. Sometimes the forum adjusts the time for whatever reason. The time mentioned in this post is the correct one.

Hello Everyone,

I am working on taming and wanted to provide some perspective for training this skill. I used this Uoguide as my foundation. So, from Animal Taming: 50-60, I have been focusing on hinds, timber wolves, and cougars. Please bear in mind that this thread is not a perfect or unflawed attempt to illustrate my return on investment (ROI), but I plan on capturing my successes and failures so that everyone can modify their training tactics and techniques. I always love constructive criticism or suggestions, so please don't hesitate to chime in or even offer the latter. I plan on attempting 20 timber wolves and then 20 cougars to get a basis for ROI between 50-60 Animal Taming.



First, all of my training is done with a full belly. I also bring plenty of food with me or cast "Create Food". I was not in my Power Hour, so that may or may not have a profound affect on these results. As mentioned, this isn't a perfect attempt to illustrate my ROI, but I will modify my attempts moving forward.

I started out with Grand Master (GM) Animal Lore, a.k.a. 100+ Animal Lore. Additionally, I started this project with 56.7 Animal Taming.

***NOTE*** Some people have mentioned a correlation and benefit to having a lower Animal Lore Skill than taming, but because I have GM'ed Lore already, I will not be testing it that way.

I made 20 taming attempts on Hinds only, the results of which are shown in the table above. I started in Moonglow (Felucia), SE of the Moongate below the Graveyard.

***NOTE*** Be careful because you are outside of town guard limits and are subject to player killers (PKs) and hostile Mobs, including a Lich that will kill you quite easily if you are new.

Of the 20 attempts, I succeeded in taming 70% of the time and gained 0.1 taming upon success. Likewise, I failed 30% of the time and gained 0.1 taming upon failing. So, my overall ROI was roughly 10% gains from attempts.

Final Thought:

This skill sucks to gain! Just kidding, I will stick it out and continue to post my progress and failures!

An important part of our community is fostering deeper relationships and conversations among our members. Just because we're an Ultima Online (and some other) gaming community, doesn't mean we cannot or should not encourage sharing on other games.

As @Weezdiggity put it, "I'm sure it would get used, people aren't just UO players anymore. So maybe people can find a common game where they play to take their "breaks." I completely agree with him!

In this new forum, you will be able to post details about the game you're interested in reviewing, discussing, or sharing tips over in a simple and visually attractive manner. I'm excited to see how the discussions grow with our community.

You will find the new forum here: Game Room



When you go to post a new thread, you'll be able to click a link for "The Games DB" which will allow you to look up your game, find the game ID from the end point of the URL, and enter that game ID into your thread title to populate all game information to your post - easy peasy!



I look forward to seeing how this new addition works out - please let me know if you have any questions! There may be a small learning curve until you're use to it.

Let's talk about Red Dead!

I mean, I had to do a test message anyway.

On Thursday two DDoS attacks were recognized and mitigated by our server's host. I am not aware of any impact to gameplay during the attack, but just wanted to keep our community in the loop.

We have complete faith in our host to manage and respond to any such attack with little to no impact on the player.
