Titanic, Kelsey Theater, Mercer Community College
Titanic, Kelsey Theater, Mercer Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, 609-570-3333
Set on the ocean liner RMS Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912, the haunting story of the great ship Titanic is transformed into a riveting musical that examines the lives of its passengers in the nights leading up to the ship's fateful encounter with an iceberg. Not to be confused with the blockbuster film, this epic musical follows characters named for actual cast and crew members (unconnected with the tale of Jack and Rose of movie fame.) Playful Theatre Productions will win your heart with compelling characters and moving personal stories, but the uniqueness of TITANIC is that the central character in the drama is the great ship herself. You won't want to miss - the boat on this one!

Generations: Influences from the Modern Age, American Repertory Ballet @ McCarter
American Repertory Ballet returns to McCarter Theatre with a triple-bill program of critically-acclaimed works. The program begins with the much-loved There is a Time, a deeply evocative work by José Limón, a true pioneer in modern dance and choreography. Limón's classic work is based on Ecclesiastes 3 and evokes rich feelings from the audiences as it dances its way through the time-worn words familiar to all of us. Sea Shadow, choreographed by Gerald Arpino, is, as described by The New York Times' Anna Kisselgoff, "his neo-romantic tale of love between a mortal and a supernatural with contemporary naturalness." The evening concludes with Rite of Spring, a ballet by Martin, inspired by revolutionary works that the legendary Ballets Russes brought to America in the early 20th century, showing how the relationships of men and women transcend time.

By Jeweliana Register
Viktor Jonsson is a senior international studies major with a minor in theatre. Jonsson is an international student from Iceland who came to NSU on a soccer scholarship. Jonsson wants to encourage those who are involved in the arts to work hard and never be afraid to put in the work it takes to succeed.
How long have you been involved in the arts?
"I took Acting I as an elective my freshman year. I came here on a soccer scholarship from Iceland so I never really planned on doing anything in the arts, but I took Acting I and I had a lot of fun. Then I took Acting II, and after that it sort of just took off and I wanted to keep doing it."
How did you end up at NSU?
"In my country, it is hard to be a student and a soccer player at the same time, but here they offer a really nice balance of being both. My dad was a soccer player, too, and he used the opportunity to get his degree as well as play, so he told me about that and I took that advice. I wanted to be in either Florida or New York, and coming from Iceland I liked Florida for the warm weather. I found NSU and I really like it here."
Can you tell us more about your involvements in the arts at NSU?
"As I said, I took my first acting class my freshman year and then I took a class called Comedy and Improvisation, taught by Mark Duncan, who is now head of the PVA department. That sort of opened a new door for me. Improv has no script and it's just going off the top of your head, and if I do say so myself, I was pretty good at it. That surprised me because of course it's in English and that is not my mother language. So, I got really into that and I looked forward to that class every week. Then at the end of the semester, he told me that in January we would have the chance to perform at the 'Improv Jam' where you go and do these improv games for other people and you put on a show. So, I auditioned for that and I was asked to be in the show, which went really well. That was my first experience, but I have done a few plays and 'One Acts,' which are the student works directed and performed by students. I've done a couple of those. Then I played a small part in Hamlet in the fall of 2015, and I played the wizard in 'Once Upon A Mattress' this spring. I am also involved in the production of 'Suddenly Last Summer' where I play the lead male role."
What is the best part of being involved in the arts at NSU?
"We are a very close group because there are not that many of us. You get to build a really close friendship with everyone. Being on stage with your group, you are so vulnerable in your partnership with them. The best part of it is how close you get to the teachers and students here."
What has been the most rewarding moment in your arts career?
"The 'Improv Jam' has always been sort of my baby because that is where I feel the most comfortable, even though I have no lines. You sort of just go out there and do whatever you feel. I think my favorite moment was probably when I got cast as the wizard in 'Once Upon A Mattress'. I've always had soccer, even in the spring, but since I am a senior this year I did not have spring practice. So, I decided to make the decision to dedicate as much time to theatre as I have to soccer. That put me into a place where I was able to create this whole character for myself. I worked really hard and I knew my lines very early on, which gave me the chance to really run with it. I think that since then I realized that this is what I want to do with my life. I think that was the most rewarding moment, when I not only created the character but also when I got the reaction for the work I put into that character."
What advice would you give to someone who wants to get involved in the arts?
"Don't be afraid. It is a scary thing to be onstage and have so many people waiting to see what you are going to do, but that's the beauty of it, too. You are able to have a platform where you get to express your emotions and feelings in such an honest way, which is what is so beautiful about theatre. It's different all the time. It's not like the movies. I am also a fan of movies, but theatre especially is different, it is so honest every time. You never know, someone may fumble a line, but it's that partnership that you develop with your cast. It's just very, very pure. For people who want to get into that, just don't be afraid. Take the first step because you won't regret it. No one is going to judge you or laugh at you if you are not awesome at it right away. It's a process just like everything else."
What are your plans for after graduation?
"My plans have been changed very recently. I am going to take the opportunity of the fifth year of the Visa that you get offered as an undergrad that you can have to stay here and just work. I am going to take that and get a job and work on my acting craft. There are a lot of opportunities for non-professional actors here in South Florida, so I am going to take that year to try and do some stuff to improve myself. After that year, the plan is to go to grad school for acting in either London or New York. That's the dream."

Our most popular man's gift is our silver torc cuff bangle. This comes in a variety of weights and sizes. It pushes over the wrist and fits snugly. We also like to individualize them with different types of hammering for an organic look. A matt finish is also popular.

How to: futureproof your skills base
These five industry pros outline how to strike the right balance to futureproof your business' skills base
How brokers of the future will have to adapt if technological innovations and greater data accessibility change their profession. Piers Brunner FRICS, CEO for Greater China at Knight Frank, tells us more.
The digital age has brought with it drastic and fundamental change to the global economy, with technology such as blockchain reshaping entire sectors, and ushering in sweeping reformulation of process and strategy. But while the highly competitive real-estate brokerage business has certainly not been completely immune to such impact, it has been comparatively slow to evolve.
Data was once considered industry gold to brokers. Those who could accumulate and provide the best intelligence gained the greatest advantage in the market. In Asia, where tenants and owners had limited choices, regional cultural challenges saw a profound lack of transparency from brokers, for their own benefit. Many of them believed that information, as the key source of value, was best kept close to one's chest. That's despite the fact that such practices would sap significant time and energy from brokerage leaders who wanted to change this culture and use data more broadly.
Instead, what happened was that the teams that got the most of this intelligence suddenly became the highest performers. But this phenomenon faded as industry regulation improved and data accessibility increased. As brokerage houses began to adopt internal cultures of information sharing, data became available externally, followed closely by the appearance of data aggregators. The role of broker had evolved organically to include analysis.
What does this mean to the client, given that they themselves can now access the same information? The answer is "not much", as the real value lies in the personal connection between broker and client. It's a relationship that produces tailored analysis and insights, based on a comprehensive understanding of client needs.
For this, the broker must possess an intimate knowledge of the client, one that goes beyond the basics of headcount and size and location requirements to encompass vision, values, business lines, product and services, growth strategies, organisational structure, and so on. All too often I have seen companies relocate to inappropriate buildings based on "strong brokerage", only to have to repeat the process soon after. With close contact and deep understanding, such incidents can be avoided. Brokers can instead tailor multifaceted solutions for clients, and focus on specific business outcomes.
With brokers repositioning themselves as advisers rather than the mere middlemen of the past, the future of the brokerage lies in strong, dependable advisory services provided by high-calibre real estate professionals. The broker skill set will have to expand to include broad professional knowledge, with extensive training on specific technical matters, and the ability to rally teams of experts, be they colleagues or third parties. This is already happening, to a degree. The most successful brokers are those who have adopted this approach, and they are now reaping the rewards.
Another key battleground of the future will be mobility. Indeed, the contest is already raging, with fast, accurate response to customer requests being a new commodity. There is a list of applications currently in various stages of development that will attempt to streamline processes and boost precision. Over time, some of them will prove their value and proceed to widespread adoption, while others will languish into obsolescence. In both cases, managers must play an active role in mitigating any complications this causes.
With the real estate sector continuing to evolve and new technologies changing the market landscape, the brokers of the future will need to be highly responsive and mobile advisers trusted by clients to deliver superior results every time. They will require a client-centric approach, matched with superior business acumen, strong analytical skills, broad technical knowledge, and an appreciation of seamless team operations and culture.

The final mission of the British campaign is during the Battle for Caen and it is part of Operation Overlord.
When you take the American have to face an army of fierce and suicidal. According to the promises of the developers, you will expect a very realistic and gloomy game environment that will convey the horror of this terrible war, and will also realize the social component and the relationship between other soldiers and your character. This is one of the great incentives to buy infinite warfare. If you are careless and among them shows up in a poor time that it's almost certainly a death sentence, and eventually working up the guts to confront among these blatantly was among my favorite areas of the endgame. In this mode, the player has to choose any one role out of four different roles. Then go online through these tools and find your friends around the world. They are different from every grave you'll discover in Egypt, and also incorporate some throwbacks to the timing-based platforming puzzles.
You might also wanna play a random game such as strategy game or. Japanese and Chinese languages require «english» folder present, but all. Call of Duty World War 2 is based on the actions that took place from 1944 to 1945 in World War 2. Rather, the majority of quests require numerous actions possess interesting characters with motives and to finish. Healthpack is scattered throughout the gameplay.

They are different in surroundings and design, which makes the time commitment one that is surprising and always varied.

During the campaign, the players will follow the fate of small division that is the part of very famous Big Red One. It is made much more satisfying from the simple fact that they are named - it is going to mean as much when you can return the favor, and you will recall the man who murdered you.
They can crouch and lie down and can scale low walls or other obstacles. I spent 30 hours completing the effort, which took me only half of this gorgeous and expansive map which recreates surroundings and ancient Egypt architecture. A whole tension is created by it than has been around in prior games. This first-person shooter features both a single player story mode and a multiplayer mode. Call of Duty: World War 2 Download is infused in every frame that has passed before our eyes, and apparently there are a number of situations, intense enough so that we can turn the page and acknowledge World War 2 as the next installment of the series. It makes you feel the war closely and now for now is the game in first person about World War 2 that are on the market.
He Has To Perform Stealth Actions For The Purpose Of Making Complicated Kills. When there are quests which just involve locating a hidden place or looting a construction, Origins has mostly done away with all the cluttered mini-map filled with useless chests. The modern warfare multiplayer is quite limited if we compared it with a modern delivery. In the first location we carry a soldier of the U. Many times, though disparate and you charging enemies these continue to coming in droves. We consider that it is a content with enough entity that cannot be evaluated as part of the infinite warfare package, as it is not included in all editions of the game.

id Software Crunched "Most of Last Year" to hit Delayed Doom Eternal Date
Jan 23, 2020 - 7:12 AM - by
Evil Avatar
Doom Eternal wouldnt be the same game without it being delayed, according to executive producer Marty Stratton.
Speaking to VG247, Stratton explained that the team at id Software were working long hours in the lead up to the delay, and that pushing Doom Eternal back has let the team get the game up to the level of quality they feel their effort deserves.
I say its the best game weve ever made. I dont think Id say that if we didnt have that extra time, Stratton said.
The game was done, we havent added anything but what [the delay] allowed us to do was fix a tonne more bugs.
It allowed us to do a lot of polishing, hardening of the back-end systems and we do testing throughout where we bring in people externally. We did a couple of additional versions of those and made a couple of additions to the game, just balance-type things and patching up a couple of exploits.
Developer crunch has been a big discussion topic over the last couple of years, with heavy criticism aimed at many triple-A developers for fostering cultures of expected overtime at the expense of staff well being.
Stratton said that while the id studio leadership try to encourage developers to take the time they need, many choose to work late, and some amount of crunch is necessary.
We were crunching pretty hard most of last year.
It goes in phases, Stratton explained.
I'm totally willing to sacrifice the health and well being of people I don't know to get the game I want. Totally.

Join Disintegrations Technical Beta and Test its Multiplayer Starting January 28th

Join Disintegrations Technical Beta and Test its Multiplayer Starting January 28
Hey! We are V1 Interactive, a small studio that is currently developing Disintegration. Weve been working nonstop for the last few months for this moment to finally arrive: we are super excited to announce Disintegrations Technical Beta.
For those who arent familiar with it, Disintegration is a sci-fi FPS in which you pilot a hovering, weaponized vehicle called a gravcycle, while you tactically command your squad around the battlefield.
Set on Earth in a not-so-distant future where humanitys last chance of survival is to replace their bodies with robotic armatures, the single player campaign focuses on Romer Shoals story and his fight against the Rayonne to regain his humanity.
Although we have been putting a lot of work into the campaign, weve also been working hard to ensure Disintegrations multiplayer is fast, frenetic, and a lot of fun.
The multiplayer game pits you against other players in up to 5v5 matches with you and your individual squads on the ground. The unique game modes, blending aerial combat and squad commands across several different modes and maps, are sure to test not only your shooter skills, but also your tactical approach on the battlefield.
We let players at Pax West get hands on with the game, but the time has come to put Disintegrations multiplayer into a real stress test thats why we are running our Technical Beta at the end of January.
Disintegrations Technical Beta will include two maps and two different modes. You can also choose between seven different crews each with their own weapons, abilities, and role in combat.
We are overwhelmed with all the support and encouraging words we have received so far from the community, but now we need to ask a favor to all of you: join the Technical Beta, coordinate with your team, command your units, and most importantly, have fun!

Kingpin: Reloaded Announced for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC
Jan 18, 2020 - 7:23 PM - by
Evil Avatar
In a stylized noir art deco gangland that never was, the Kingpin rules above all else with a bloody fist. When his lieutenant Nikki Blanco leaves a no-name Thug battered and broken, the upstart criminal rises from a puddle of blood, lead pipe in hand and revenge in mind.
Kingpin: Reloaded brings new life to the Quake II engine classic. 4K resolution, ultrawide support, and improved graphics in Enhanced mode enable the beautifully-depicted metropolitan nightmare shine. Controller support makes the game more accessible for anyone who wants to explore the depths of Kingpins depravity. Overall improvements like new quest and conversation systems make Reloaded even better than the original.
Stalk lamp-lit streets and take down rival gangs to let the Kingpin know his end is nigh. Kingpins immersive sim elements allow the Thug to recruit other gangsters with a conversation system. Increase the Thugs influence through multiple hub-based missions. Run with the gang on a violent warpath with upgradeable weapons including Tommy guns, bazookas, and more. Location-based damage leads to bloody, thrilling battles: kneecap, maim, or go for the head.
If that sounds too extreme, try No Violence mode. However, the colorful language proudly used by Kingpins gangsters remains. Lean even further into that era and start fragging in Gang Bang modes old-school multiplayer.
Key Features
Kingpin: Reloaded includes a range of new features:
Re-balanced and polished gameplay.
New quest system.
Ultrawide and 4K support.
Classic and Enhanced modes.
And so much more!
I'm still waiting for someone to port Quake to the PS4.

HBO's Controversial Watchmen Series Not Returning for Second Season
Jan 17, 2020 - 7:24 PM - by
From USA Today
"Watchmen" won a loyal following and critical acclaim, as the superhero comics series was adapted into a politically relevant drama about race and the criminal justice system.
But don't look for a second season of the drama, which wrapped up its nine-episode run last month, largely because creator Damon Lindelof isn't interested in doing it.
Lindelof always planned on this being a one-shot series. I didn't care for the strong left political slant or the weekly release format so didn't stick with it for long. Still, it performed fairly well critically and even had some good viewership numbers so people adding this series to the "Go woke, go broke" lists aren't being honest with themselves. It's entirely possible HBO will revisit this universe again.

Horizon Zero Dawn Coming to PC?
Jan 17, 2020 - 8:19 AM - by
Evil Avatar
Sources: Horizon: Zero Dawn is Coming to PC
The PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn will come to personal computers this year, sources tell Kotaku. Its an unprecedented move for Sony that signals a future in which the publisher releases games on platforms beyond its own consoles.
This news comes from three people familiar with Sonys plans, all speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to press. Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Horizon: Zero Dawn, an open-world game set in a post-apocalyptic version of the United States that has been overrun by robot dinosaurs, launched for PS4 in February 2017. It was critically acclaimed and commercially successful for its developer, Guerrilla Games, which is owned and operated by Sony. And, like other Sony-published games over the past two decades, it was exclusive to a PlayStation console, helping drive sales of Sonys hardware in addition to generating revenue on its own.
Now, three years later, Horizon will be on another platform for the first time. We expect to see the game on both Steam and the Epic Games Store when it launches (although that may not be finalized yet). It will be the first Guerrilla game on a non-PlayStation platform since Sony purchased the Netherlands-based studio in 2005. It will also be an opportunity for Guerrilla to show off its technical chopsHorizon: Zero Dawn, restrained by the PlayStation 4's hardware, was locked at a framerate of 30 frames per second. We expect the PC version to be more capable.
This will be the first big exclusive game from a Sony-owned developer to come to PC. Death Stranding, which launched for PS4 last November and will also arrive on PC later this year, was funded and published by Sony but developed by an independent studio, Kojima Productions. (In fact, the PC version of Death Stranding is published by a different company, 505 Games.) The French studio Quantic Dream, also independent, had a similar arrangement last year, self-publishing its games Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human on PC without Sonys involvement.
It would be great news for PC gamers, but I don't have any faith at all that Kotaku has a legitimate source. "three people familiar with Sony's plans" sounds like the friend of a friend is their source. That's pretty sketchy.

Metro Redux Coming to Switch on February 28th

Metro Redux Coming to the Nintendo Switch
Deep Silver and 4A Games are proud to announce that Metro Redux, the ultimate double game collection, including the definitive versions of both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, will release on Nintendo Switch on 28 February 2020. Developed in-house by 4A Games, and containing two complete campaigns which combine to create one epic solo adventure, Metro Redux will immerse players into one of the most atmospheric worlds in gaming, fully brought to life on their Nintendo Switch.
In addition to both campaigns, Metro Redux contains all the Metro: Last Light DLC offering a further 10 hours of bonus content. Players can experience life in the Moscow Metro through two unique Play Styles: use the Survival Play Style to approach the campaign as a slow burn survival horror or tackle it with the combat skills of a Ranger with the Spartan Play Style.
Purchasers of the boxed edition of Metro Redux will find both games and all DLC on one 16GB cart with no additional download required; The Ranger Cache pre-order pack is available at selected retailers and contains a Metro Redux pin badge set, Game case sleeve, Double sided alternate artwork inlay, 4 double sided art cards and an A2 double sided poster.
Those who prefer to download digitally can purchase Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux individually from the Nintendo e-Shop.
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earths surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside. You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised underground. Having never ventured beyond the city limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat.
But will they even listen? Rather than stand united, the factions of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.
Key Features
Immerse yourself in the Moscow Metro witness one of the most atmospheric worlds in gaming brought to life on Nintendo Switch
Brave the horrors of the Russian apocalypse equip your gasmask and an arsenal of hand-made weaponry as you face the threat of deadly mutants, human foes, and the terrifying environment itself
Two campaigns, and all DLC included Metro Redux includes two complete campaigns that combine to create one epic solo adventure, plus a further 10 hours of bonus content. Two unique Play Styles and Ranger Mode add hours more replayability!

Return To Dark Tower Returns to Kickstarter

The coolest game to ever hit the planet first appeared some 38 years ago, featuring an electronic tower that lit up, played music, and somehow ran an epic fantasy adventure game with its state-of-the-art technological wizardry. That game was Dark Tower. We want to bring you that same sense of awe and wonder, pushing the boundaries of what a board game can actually do. After 3 years of painstaking work by a team of two dozen designers, engineers, and artists, we are thrilled to present to you a game with echoes of that long-gone wonder but ultimately unlike any game you've ever experienced.

Taika Waititi in early talks to Develop a Star Wars Movie
Jan 16, 2020 - 5:20 PM - by
Evil Avatar
Taika Waititi, director of Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit, is in early talks to develop a new Star Wars movie, Variety has confirmed.
There are no further details about how far those negotiations are with Waititi, nor what his involvement might ultimately be. But hot off of six Oscar nominations for Jojo Rabbit, Waititi is one of the most in-demand filmmakers in the industry, and Star Wars is Star Wars, so there we are.
Waititi recently directed the season finale of The Mandalorian, Lucasfilms breakout series for Disney Plus, and he also played the droid IG-11.
Given his recent history with the Star Wars universe, on Monday, Variety asked Waititi if he might be directing a Star Wars movie in the future.
Oh, I dont know anything about that, Waititi said. But Mandalorian was my chance to work with some stormtroopers.
But Waititi said he definitely would want to take the reins of a Star Wars movie.
Obviously I would, but Im going to just settle for IG-11 being the hero of the entire season, he said.
Representatives for Disney and Waititi had no comment.

Guns Akimbo Trailer
Jan 15, 2020 - 5:20 PM - by
Evil Avatar
Nerdy video game developer (Daniel Radcliffe) is a little too fond of stirring things up on the internet with his caustic, prodding, and antagonizing comments. One night, he makes the mistake of drunkenly dropping an inflammatory barb on a broadcast of Skizm, an illegal death-match fight club streamed live to the public. In response, Riktor (Ned Dennehy), the maniacal mastermind behind the channel, decides to force Miles' hand (or hands, as it were) and have him join the "fun." Miles wakes to find heavy pistols bolted into his bones, and learns Nix (Samara Weaving), the trigger-happy star of Skizm, is his first opponent.
Gleefully echoing elements of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the Purge franchise, and videogames like Mortal Kombat, Guns Akimbo is hilariously dark, viciously violent, and potentially chillingly prescient. Director Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm) foretells of a future that may soon await us: drone-captured live feeds, UFC-like competitions pushed to an extreme, and online streaming platforms used for gladiatorial entertainment all around the world. As Miles navigates the underworld of Skizm, the stakes and the ratings have never been higher.

Epic's Weekly Free Games Will Continue Through 2020
Jan 15, 2020 - 8:05 AM - by
Evil Avatar
Launched in December 2018, the Epic Games Store just wrapped up its first full year as a PC games website and launcher. To celebrate its first year in business, Epic promised it would give away a new free game every two weeks on its storefront, and about halfway through 2019, that turned into one or two free games every single week. While the program was meant to end in December, Epic announced on Tuesday it will continue its weekly free game program through 2020.
In case you're unfamiliar: Epic's free games are available to anyone with an Epic Store account (which is also free to create). After you add them to your library, they're yours to keep forever. Epic gives away one or two free games every week, with new games rotating in on Thursdays at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. The quantity depends on a game's rating--if a game rated M or PEGI-18 is included, Epic will offer a second game that's more accessible to younger users.

PlayStation will not participate in E3 2020
PlayStation will miss E3 for a second year in a row.
The firm told GamesIndustry.biz that it does not feel the vision for the event is right for what it has planned for this year. Instead it will attend 'hundreds' of consumer events to showcase upcoming games for PS4 and PS5.
"After thorough evaluation SIE has decided not to participate in E3 2020," said a Sony Interactive Entertainment spokesperson. "We have great respect for the ESA as an organization, but we do not feel the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year.
"We will build upon our global events strategy in 2020 by participating in hundreds of consumer events across the globe. Our focus is on making sure fans feel part of the PlayStation family and have access to play their favorite content. We have a fantastic line up of titles coming to PlayStation 4, and with the upcoming launch of PlayStation 5, we are truly looking forward to a year of celebration with our fans."

Neil Peart, the drummer of iconic Canadian band Rush, has died at age 67.
The influential musician and lyricist died Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., after having been diagnosed with brain cancer, according to a statement issued Friday by family spokesperson Elliot Mintz.
His death was confirmed by Meg Symsyk, a media spokesperson for the progressive rock trio comprising Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.
Thanks to my two older brothers, Rush has been my favorite band since I was very young. The greatest concert I ever saw was their "comeback" show in Hartford on June 28, 2002. While his earlier lyrics far outshine his later efforts, his skills on the drums were unquestionable. Rest in peace.

Sonys CEO teased that the PS5s Most Unique features are still Unannounced
Jan 09, 2020 - 7:51 AM - by
Evil Avatar
Jim Ryan: Each time a new console is released, the processor and graphics improve. Those are enticing of course, but we need to have special appeals as well. We have already confirmed the use of an solid-state drive. Having load times that are next to nothing is a major change.
3D audio and the haptic feedback support of the controller are also things that, when you try them, you will be surprised at how big a change they are. Even just playing the racing game Gran Turismo Sport with a PlayStation 5 controller is a completely different experience. While it runs well with the previous controller, there is no going back after you experience the detailed road surface via haptic control and play using the adaptive triggers.
But you know.
There are still more unique elements for PlayStation 5 to come that separate it from previous consoles. The bigger differences have yet to be announced.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum First Details ~ PS5 & Xbox Series X

Lord of the Rings: Gollum Confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X
Daedalic Entertainment has reaffirmed that its action-adventure game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be coming to next-gen consoles including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X alongside PC in 2021.
This is what the studio told Edge magazine for its
February 2020 issue
, which has a number of interviews with key developers that reveal the first new details about the game since its
announcement back in March 2019
For starters, Daedalic has set out to invent its own version of main character Gollum rather than follow the look given to him in Peter Jacksons movies. Tolkien didnt give a size reference for Gollum to begin with, art director Mathias Fischer told Edge. So in the first illustrations, hes gigantic! Hes like a monster emerging from the swamp. Daedalic hasn't yet revealed what Gollum will look like in the game.
Senior producer Kai Fiebig adds to this that Daedalic doesnt want to displease the folks who have only seen the movies. But in short, he doesnt look like Andy Serkis. Serkis is, of course, the actor who portrayed Gollum in the movies.
Daedalics take on Gollum has you play him as hes deep into his corruption by the One Ring. He conveys a different set of emotions than those seen in the films so that hes more sympathetic and relatable - this is important as youll be spending 20 or so hours with him.
Fischer also revealed that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will feature Nazgûl, although not the ones that lovers of the films will know. They were an interesting challenge, because its so well documented where they are in the wider narrative. It was like, Shit, can we use the cool Nazgûl?, Fischer said. I think ours are the less cool ones. Theyre the drummer and bass player of the band. But we have a chance to make them more popular!
The Edge feature also outlines that you should expect stealth gameplay, a dual-personality mechanic, huge levels, and a move away from the violence that dominates other Lords of the Rings games. The dual-personality of Gollum sounds particularly interesting and will lead to some crucial choice-based moments throughout the game.
Its not just choosing to be Sméagol or Gollum, because for Gollum as an entity its not that easy. Each personality is being attacked by the other; each has to defend himself, game designer Martin Wilkes explained.
You will have maybe two, three or four conflicts per chapter that lead to a final decision point. And at this final decision point, it will be harder to pick Sméagol, for example, if youve always fought for the Gollum side before.
Finally, CEO Carsten Fichtelmann said that Daedalic has a long-running contract which means the studio is aiming to do two or three games set in Middle-earth, which means maybe the next game is - obviously not Gollum 2. That doesnt make sense. It could be some other character. But it will be comparable to what were now trying with Gollum.

Pure Evil - Freaks of the Heartland

Catching up on some movie watching on my days off I happened to catch the indie Sci Fi thriller
Kept locked inside the house by her father, 7-year-old Chloe lives in fear and fascination of the outside world, where Abnormals create a constant threat or so she believes. When a mysterious stranger offers her a glimpse of whats really happening outside, Chloe soon finds that while the truth isnt so simple, the danger is very real.
While this isn't a found-footage film, it reminded me a lot of
. It is low budget, but it never feels that way and the characters and action are excellent across the board (including Bruce Dern as the wacky ice cream vendor). If you are looking for a decent rental, be sure to check this one out.
I caught up on a bunch of films over the weekend this week. I didn't care for
The Lighthouse
. It was a good movie, hampered by trying too hard to be an art house film. Worth a watch one time, but not the groundbreaking horror film you would have expected from the director of
The Witch
The same is true of
JoJo Rabbit
, the way people were gushing about it online I was expecting it to be just this amazing film and while it is certainly good, it's no better or no worse than any other WWII "Love thy enemy." film. The imaginary Hitler was a blast, the rest of the movie was good, but not great.
If you want some real gems, check out Adam Sandler's
Uncut Gems
. While I don't recommend going to see the movie in the theater, you have to check this one out. It's tense and the performances are amazing. There is a lot of "Mob guys yelling at each other." and it's a bit much for the big screen which is the only reason I don't suggest a theater viewing. Sandler totally deserves the Best Actor Oscar. After seeing the movie, I'm predicting he will get it.
Another fantastic film was
Ford vs Ferrari
. I'm biased a bit, I do like race car movies, but this one hits all the buttons. Great story, good performances and you have to love any film where the USA gets one over on France.
I think that catches me up for the weekend!

Alienware has shown off a new prototype during CES 2020, and it looks an awful lot like the Nintendo Switch. The Concept UFO--which, as the name suggests, is still a concept that the company is working with rather than a finalized product--is a portable system with a screen that can detach from the controllers on either side of it, much like the Joy-Cons slide off the Switch.

ModDB's Player's Choice List of Top 10 Mods of 2019
Jan 04, 2020 - 5:46 AM - by
ModDB, one of the biggest, if not the biggest video game modding community on the internet, announced top 10 mods of 2019 as voted on by the community.
Welcome to the 2019 Mod of the Year results! With top 100 voting having taken place over the last 20 days, the results have now been tallied and we are ready to announce the winners! Below you will find the Top 10 Mods of 2019. While you're at it, you can also check out the Top 10 Indie Games of 2019, or join the site in anticipation for next year's awards to register a mod of your own or vote for those you think deserve recognition in 2020.
I love that some of the games on the list are old, but these mods really add a lot of modern features, not to mention content.
A few years ago Bethesda and Valve made moves to monetize mods; I am glad they didn't manage to succeed at the level they hoped because it might crush a lot of the people and communities who might never get any exposure if they had to be officially sanctioned or vetted in some way.

Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella steps in to head DICE Los Angeles
Jan 03, 2020 - 5:28 PM - by
Evil Avatar
Respawn's Vince Zampella to lead EA DICE's LA studio
Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella has taken on a new project leading Electronic Arts:
EA DICE's Los Angeles studio
In an
interview with The LA Times
, Zampella revealed his new role at DICE LA, which he will take on while remaining with Respawn Entertainment. Zampella described his position at Respawn as being that of a "head coach" now, and GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to EA for added clarification on his ongoing role with the studio.
While he's taking on the LA studio head role while it's still referred to as an EA DICE studio, Zampella said it would likely undergo a rebranding, separting itself both from DICE Stockholm as well as Respawn.
"We want to give it a new image. We want people to say, 'This is a destination you can go and make new content.' I think they've kind of gotten the branding that they are the support studio for DICE Stockholm. I think rebranding is important for showing people, 'Hey! Come work here. We're going to do some amazing things.'"
Under Zampella's leadership, the LA studio is currently working on a new, original game that hasn't yet been revealed.
EA chief studios officer Laura Miele is overseeing Zampella's transition.
"I think under Vince's leadership the expectation is to have them work on and create a game on their own," she said. "And I genuinely believe that he is going to help guide them creatively. He's going to help them further fortify and build out their talent and their team. I think we're going to have a really strong studio out of our Los Angeles location. They can go from a support team to a full stand-alone studio to create a new game offering."

Alafua Team in Interschool Competition
13 February 2014 | General Interest
Don Bosco Alafua re-joins interschool Rugby 7s Competition
Don Bosco Alafua fielded a team in the Upolu Island Interschool Rugby 7s Tournament for the first time in many years.The Don Bosco team started training early in the year and have continued a daily regime of training each day after school. Fitness, skills, strength and tactics have all formed part of the training. The Don Bosco boys have been particularly keen and proud to train for Don Bosco as many of them have had few previous opportunities to play for a school team.
Special guest trainer on 14 February was Mr Rudolf Moors, Head Coach of the Manu Samoa 7s, the National Rugby 7s team. Rudolf conducted a special training clinic for the boys, which was a source of inspiration and encouragement.
A series of warm up "friendlies" against neighbouring schools preceded the tournament.
The inexperienced Don Bosco team played hard and fast but were no match for their more experienced competitors. Head Coach of the High Performance, John Schuster, was present scouting for talent and was particularly interested in two or three of the Don Bosco players.

A referendum in Sea Pines that would have raised property owners' annual assessments by $450 to pay for critical infrastructure projects in the gated community on Hilton Head's south end failed, according to an announcement by Sea Pines leadership.Although 72 percent of ballots were cast for the proposal, the tally didn't meet the 75 percent threshold needed to pass, as outlined in the community's covenants, written in 1974. The referendum was packaged as a way to address "Sea Pines Community's aging infrastructure including roadways and stormwater ... deteriorating landscape and our traffic issues," CSA president Bret Martin wrote in a statement about the results.
Vanagel to retire as Concours President
Carolyn Vanagel, president of the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring Festival, will retire following the 18th annual event this fall. Vanagel has served as president for the last 16 years. Under her leadership, the event has grown from a twoday show with 6,000 attendees to a ten-day, internationally-recognized lifestyle event with over 20,000 guests from around the world. Lindsey Harrell, vice president of operations, will assume the role of president. The next Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance & Motoring festival will be held Oct. 24 – Nov. 3.

The free service operates continuously from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day. After 1 p.m., guests can catch the regularly scheduled Breeze Trolley at Coligny Beach Park and other various locations around Hilton Head Island.

Coach Jolene Watanabe of Smith Stearns Tennis Academy passed away in June from a rare form of appendix cancer. Watanabe reached the Top 100 on the WTA Tour, was the first female coach of the World Tennis Team and coached at Smith Stearns for over a decade. She was highly respected in the international tennis and Hilton Head communities.
Dr. Hector F. Esquivel passed away unexpectedly on July 4. Born Sept. 18, 1938, in Torro Valle de Cauca, Colombia, he moved to the Lowcountry with his family in 1983. During his time in the Lowcountry, he practiced medicine with compassion and altruism and played an integral role in the Hispanic community.
We Make Marines
It was Dec. 16, 1986, when local artist Jack McNulty first arrived on Parris Island.
"The first thing I remember seeing was a one-way sign pointing toward the island. I thought that was pretty fitting," he said.
The next thing he remembers is the bus coming to a stop, the dawn still yet to rise around it, and drill instructors flooding the aisle ordering everyone off. Still groggy, the recruits stepped out onto the famed yellow footprints for the first time.
Hilton Head breaks ground on Lowcountry Celebration Park
The Town of Hilton Head Island hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for Lowcountry Celebration Park in June. The site is located off of Pope Avenue, adjacent to the Coligny Beach parking lot, and will one day feature a large lawn and stage to accommodate festivals, concerts and other gatherings, a playground, The Sandbox: An Interactive Children's Museum, walking trails and boardwalks, exercise stations, plus additional parking and improved access to beach parking.
Hardeeville is the Lowcountry's fastest-growing region
Fueled by an increase in new residential construction, Hardeeville continues to be the Lowcountry's fastest-growing city, according to recently released U.S. Census figures. According to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, Hardeeville's newest population estimate for 2018 has grown 120 percent since the 2010 Census, with an average annual percent population increase of 15.09 percent. City officials anticipate continued strong growth as the number of construction permits continue to rise.
Richardson Group creates new housing options
To help combat the workforce housing shortage on Hilton Head Island, the Richardson Group converted a former commercial building at One Park Lane into single- and double-occupancy residential units. Previously home to Carswell Insurance, the 8,800-square-foot building has been vacant for more than five years while surrounding businesses struggled to find homes for their workers. In total, the building can house 38 people in apartments that offer Wi-Fi, 55-inch TVs, and computer workspaces. The units are fully rented.
Community Connection
In May, representatives from the Heritage Library Foundation joined community members and volunteers in accepting a plaque recognizing the St. Luke's Parish Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery's designation on the National Register of Historic Places.
This recognition comes after years of research by Heritage Library volunteers, who combed through records, oversaw restoration and research at the site and served as stewards of one of the island's most fascinating historical spots. Fundraising efforts to create a history park on the site are ongoing via cf-lowcountry.org (choose Heritage Library-Zion Historic Site Preservation Fund). For information about tours conducted at the cemetery, go to www.heritagelib.org/tours.

Liam Gillick's Some Significant Equations to wrap CBD corner
ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019 festival is thrilled to announce a major installation by acclaimed UK conceptual artist Liam Gillick.
The Turner Prize-nominated artist was one of the 'Young British Artists' who rose to fame in the 1990s along with Damian Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin and Sarah Bulloch.
Working across sculpture, film, text, publishing, music and performance, his diverse practice encompasses structural rethinking of the exhibition as a form.
Gillick's new work commissioned for ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019 Some Significant Equations (pictured), is inspired by two significant papers written in the '60s by Japanese-born, American meteorologist and climatologist Syukuro Manabe who developed a global mathematical model to simulate climate change. In 2007 Carbon Brief published results of their survey of climate scientists to name 'the most influential climate change paper of all time'. The clear winner was the paper published in 1967 by Syukuro Manabe.
Gillick's project comprises a series of large graphic panels bearing some of the ground-breaking equations Manabe developed to help us better understand our planet. These graphics will be seen from 23 April – 2 June on an enormous billboard on the corner of Grattan and Swanston Streets and on a hoarding that will wrap the corner of Swanston Street and Masson Road at The Ian Potter Museum of Art at the University of Melbourne.
Some Significant Equations is curated by Ian Potter Museum of Art Director, Kelly Gellatly and ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019 Director, Bronwyn Johnson.
Artist Liam Gillick writes.. 'Climate change has a significant basis that is beyond question. In two significant papers written in the 1960's Japanese born American meteorologist and climatologist Suki Manabe developed a global mathematical model to simulate climate change…the work is a tribute to his hard work and the aesthetic elegance of his equations.'
ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019 is a socially engaged festival of ideas, exhibitions and events. Presenting over 30 curated exhibitions across Melbourne and regional Victoria, two theatre premieres, public programs and keynote lectures the 2019 festival will consider ideas and concepts around art and activism, community engagement, energy transition and accelerated action on climate change.
Liam Gillick's Some Significant Equations is presented by the Ian Potter Museum of Art at The University of Melbourne and CLIMARTE's ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE 2019.
