Out of all the novels in all the world, Disney had to
sanitize turn Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol into a video game. I suppose they could have chosen something more exciting like Heart of Darkness or perhaps they could have gone all sci-fi and turned "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep" aka Bladerunner into a game.
Then again, a game about looking for a soldier-turned-cannibal isn't exactly Disney material and the awesome vision of Bladerunner would be hard to represent via cartoon. So I guess, we're stuck with Disney's A Christmas Carol. Coincidentally, the video game will come out around the same time of the Disney film of the same name. Surprise, the Robert Zemeckis flick is arriving Nov. 6. The game is coming Nov. 3. If it didn't happen this way, I would expect the apocalypse to be around the corner.
From the sound of it, the Nintendo DS game will play a lot like an adventure game and will use the system's microphone along with the touch-screen. Disney calls it an interactive storybook, which is a good way to describe it for those who haven't played titles like Loom or Full Throttle.
I'll cross my fingers and hope that Disney's next novel to movie to game combo will be something along the lines of World War Z. I'd imagine it would look a lot like Zombieland maybe.
Here's a roundup of news items that you may have missed while you were setting off firework and blowing part of America up on America's birthday.
FEZ, an indie game that's generating a ton of buzz, will be coming to the Xbox 360 in 2010, according to 1up.com. This could be another hit along the lines of Braid. I only wish it could have arrived earlier so that it could get in the 2009 Game of the Year debate.
FOR THOSE Twitter and World of Warcraft fans out there, you finally have the app of your dreams. Yes, finally, someone has made a Twitter app for Blizzard's money printing service. It's called Tweetcraft, and according to Kotaku, it will let you know what's going on with your Tweeps while slaying Onyxia or whatever. You can even send screenshots over the service. If you're the person who hates Twitter, you can always play this.
I WAS AMUSED to find out that there was Hello Kitty dance pad and case for the Wii balance board last week. It's pretty quirky, but it's not as cool as this PlayStation iPhone case on Etsy that was mentioned by Kotaku. I also wouldn't mind getting this GameBoy iPhone case … or this hand-crafted one.
Although the displays outside of E3 paled in comparison to the ones inside, they still had their charm. The team backing The Ghostbusters: Video Game had Ecto 1 parked outside the West Hall. There were a ton of different banners hanging from the Los Angeles Convention Center facade.
But by far the most impressive, daring and subversive display was Electronic Arts' fake protest. The demonstration by supposed Christian zealots was over-the-top, amusing and very convincing to those passing by. The group, SAVED, which stands for Salvationists Against Virtual and Eternal Damnation, was against the upcoming game Dante's Inferno because of the baby killing and the using of the cross as a weapon and the hell as a playground thing.
The fakery was a blast while it lasted, and it was a great piece of viral marketing. It sure had folks talking. If you need to see more, here's what was on display on the outside of E3.

If you're a Pokemon maniac or a Street Fighter fan, there'll be plenty to do this weekend. The Bay Area will be the site of two tournaments.
The Pokemon Regional Championships are being held May 16 at City Beach, 4020 Technology Place, in Fremont. Players will head down to the area to compete for a spot in the Pokemon Video Game National Championships in St. Louis. The tournament is divided into two groups: a senior division (Those born in 1996 or earlier.) and junior division (Those born in 1997 or later.).
Whoever comes out on top wins a guaranteed slot and travel accommodations to the national tournament. For those who just want to check out the competition, they'll also see costumed Pikachu, Chimchar and Turtwig characters. If you want to compete, senior division competitors must check in before 9 a.m. while junior division youths get a noon time check-in. Good luck out there.
The other event is more local. The downtown San Mateo PlayNTrade is holding a "Fight Night" fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The entry for the tournament is $10 if you enter early. If you go the day of the event, it'll cost you $15.
So what games will be at the tournament? There's a Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Street Fighter IV and Mortal Kombat vs. DC. One of those games doesn't belong on the list. Guess which one.
Most of the matches will be best two out of three, and there will be some restrictions. There are too many to list off, but Street Fighter IV folks should know that Seth and Gouken are not allowed though controller or fight sticks are OK. Here's a summary of the fundraiser:
When: May 17th 11 a.m.
Where: PlayNTrade San Mateo (Downtown San Mateo)
206 S. B Street San Mateo, CA 94401 650-343-1155
Cost: Early Entry fee is $10/person to play one or all games!! Day of is $15.00.
Maybe skipping breakfast was a bad idea.
It's excruciating to watch executive producer Mike Morishita demonstrate Food Network: Cooked or Be Cooked the video game. I'm starving, and on the screen, he's preparing a pan-seared T-bone steak with steamed asparagus and mashed potatoes.
The way the food looks right now. I just want to reach into the screen and grab it. For a second, I can almost smell the beef. I imagine I look like Stains staring at a plate of cupcakes.
Morishita says that the T-bone dish is one of more than 30 recipes. He sprinkles some salt and pepper on it by shaking the Wii remote. Before that, he uses the set of index cards included with the recipe to figure what pots and pans he needs from the cupboard and what kind of produce he needs from the fridge. In the full game, players will have to sort through the clutter and identify the specific ingredients and tools they'll need for the recipe. But for now, he just jumps in cooking the virtual meal.
"It's the bridge between 'Cooking Mama' and real-life cooking," he said. "It teaches you the basics."

Here's how I start off in Saw: The video game.
Character: Detective David Tapp. Me. A guy with a shaved head.
Setting: Rundown insane asylum.
Situation: I'm stuck in something called a reverse bear trap. It's on my head, and I have to remove it before it snaps shut on my face.
After watching Billy the puppet deliver a message, I have to figure out how I'm going to get out of this thing. The game gives you cues on the bottom. You have to swivel the left analog stick clockwise a couple of times or so, but I kept drying not knowing what to do next.
There's a bit of panic as the imaginary timer in my head counts down to zero. I die. I try again and die. I can't quite figure it out. It isn't until I accidentally press one of the face buttons that I discover the secret behind the reverse bear trap riddle. I was amazed that the solution was staring me right in the face whole time, and I didn't even notice.

After recording its best year ever last year, the games industry had an encore last month. The industry's retail sales were up 13 percent from the same month last year to $1.33 billion, according to data released today from research firm NPD Group. This despite the ongoing economic disaster.
But some companies are clearly doing much better than others. In particular, it's a good time to be Nintendo.
This is getting to be a broken record, but Nintendo's Wii continued its dominance of the latest console cycle. Retailers sold 679,200 Wiis last month, which was about 33 percent more than the number of PlayStation 3s and Xbox 360s they sold — combined. Consumers also bought 510,800 Nintendo DSs in January — which was about three times the number of PSPs they purchased in the month.
Goodbye Mr. Bush
Bush goes away from the White House… Tell him goodbye YOUR WAY (throwing boots, eggs, daisies or candies) This is a multi-highscore and cumulative-score game!
Some people will look at tomorrow's inauguration as a hello to a President Barack Obama. On the other hand, other folks — Republicans, evangelical Christians, coma victims — will see it as a goodbye to President George W. Bush. With Goodbye Mr. Bush, you can say farewell to Mr. 43 in your own special way.
It's definitely not an Inauguration West or other huge celebrations. But it's a fitting goodbye to Mr. Bush. Thank Tamakum for this one.

The San Francisco Business Journal has an interesting blurb about how the Army plans to spend $50 million on video games that train soldiers.
Aside from sounding a little Ender's Game-esque, the brief has a couple of other tidbits. The Army apparently has until February to spend some of that money on "a commercial game system." Could that mean a new Army game is coming to the PC or consoles?
On top of that, the article says that the Army has a unit that assess technology from the video game industry and oversees all that money. I wouldn't mind being part of that group. Then again, I would have to join the Army. The Stars and Stripes article has more information if you're interested.
Some of their programs based on video games are pretty cool, if not realistic. If it helps keep our soldiers safe, the more power to them.

Does one finger beat two pins?This story from India about a bank installing biometric ATMs, purportedly so that senior citizens who have difficulty remembering their PIN could have their fingerprint read instead, got me to thinking.
I have two different ATM accounts with my bank, one business, one personal. I use different PINs for each. I don't know why I use different ones, perhaps it's a belief that if one is compromised I'd still have the other. But suppose my bank offered a biometric ATM? Would I choose to use the same finger for each account or two different ones?
After all, chances are that if one finger is "compromised" my entire hand would be also. And simply remembering which finger works which account could be problematic for this "senior citizen." Still, it's deeply ingrained in me that different accounts need different authenticators. Maybe I'd choose to use a "strengthened" method - fingerprint+PIN. Then I could use the same finger (but a different PIN) for each account. Or different fingers plus the same PIN.
Using different fingers with different PINs is right out, though. No way I could remember those combinations. I'd need to carry around a picture of the correct finger with the right PIN written on it!
And, with all those people, especially all those old people, swiping their fingers on the ATM - wouldn't that be a health hazard?

Government nonsenseMy Network World colleague Mitch Kebay points out that the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Computer Security Division has just published SP 800-118, "DRAFT Guide to Enterprise Password Management" which now awaits comments. Mitch suggests it needs those comments "for improvement," but that shipped has already sailed. The only improvement would have been to not waste the time to write and publish it.
Username/password for enterprise authentication is not only poorly implemented, not only passe but also very dangerous. The ONLY guideline NIST should issue for enterprise passwords is STOP USING THEM.
Of course, with the heavy government involvement in business that the current economic crisis is enabling, a simple ban on username/password or a requirement for strong authentication would make much more sense.

Freddie licensed to fight: Cricket legend Flintoff to get nod for November boxing bow
Andrew Flintoff is set to be granted a licence to reinvent himself as a professional heavyweight boxer.
The former England cricket captain was put through a rigorous testing process by the British Boxing Board of Control to prove he is serious about a career in the ring, but it is understood he impressed during an interview and also in a demonstration bout at his gym.
Elements of Flintoff's medical have not yet been finalised, but the Board expect to rubberstamp their approval over the weekend, with Flintoff set to make his debut before the end of the year.
The 34-year-old, who had not fought at any level before an impromptu sparring session with Barry McGuigan last year, has given up alcohol and lost more than two stones in weight after 10 weeks of full-time training under McGuigan and his son Shane.
Lean and mean: Andrew Flintoff poses in the boxing ring ahead of his first bout on November 30
The Board are just waiting on elements of the medical before they sanction his professional debut.
A November 30 date at Manchester Arena has been mooted, although an opponent has not yet been decided.
Once one of English cricket's most popular and charismatic characters, it was Flintoff's various brushes with the sport's authorities and a raffish persona that always endeared him to the England fans.
Sign of the times: Freddie was at the BBC studios in Salford for a TV appearance
He famously lost the England vice-captaincy after getting into difficulties in a pedalo after heavy drinking - instantly immortalised in the tabloids as 'Fredalo' - following a defeat to New Zealand in the Caribbean in 2007.
He was also forced to apologise to team-mates after missing part of a squad-bonding trip to Flanders.
Training: Flintoff has given up drinking and has shed more than two stone
Retiring: Plagued by injury, when Flintoff quit cricket he said: 'I love playing Test cricket, but the decision has been made for me - I don't think I've been left with any other choices'
He failed to board the bus taking captain Andrew Strauss and the other players on a tour of First World War trenches - sparking speculation he had drunk too much at the previous evening's private dinner.
When he retired from cricket, he said: 'I love playing Test cricket, but the decision has been made for me - I don't think I've been left with any other choices.
Training: Flintoff has given up drinking
'I've not been playing Test cricket very often over the last few years so it's bitterly disappointing but it's something I've not been doing very often anyway.
'It's also important for the team that I make this announcement because they need to move on.'
Flintoff has stayed active since quitting cricket in 2010 because of injury, mainly to an ankle and both shoulders. He has cycled from Athens to London and rowed the channel among a host of charity challenges
His current weight is understood to be under 16 stone, with a desired fighting weight in the region of 15-and-a-half stone, which would leave him on the lean side for a 6ft 4in heavyweight.
His decision to enter the ring has drawn a mixed response in the boxing community, with promoter Frank Warren suggesting Flintoff is too old to start life as a pro fighter.
David Price, the British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion, insists Flintoff is only justified in fighting if his motives are genuine.
He said in September: 'Freddie's as entitled as anyone to try it out and some people come to professional boxing later in life but if it's just some type of PR stunt then it's disrespectful to boxing.
'The reality is he could get hurt if there's someone in front of him who'll stand up and throw punches back.
'It's car crash TV but will probably get people watching.'
Flintoff said: 'It's an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I played my last game of cricket at the age of 31 and I'm only 34 now.
Bowing out: Flintoff in action on the cricket pitch at the Oval in 2009
'I've always loved boxing and I'm going to have a go at it and see where it takes us. When you put yourself out there you put yourself up for a bit of criticism, but I'm not bothered.
'The people who criticise, what are they are doing? Criticising is easy to do.'
Flintoff retired from Test cricket in July 2009 following an 11-year England career.

Do you seek a place to totally unplug?
A place that gives you a feeling of safe refuge?
A comfortable space to surrender your emotions?
A spot your reassured to find inner-peace, tranquility, comfort, self love, and tremendous joy?
Visualize rustic foliage and fauna. Brilliant colors that seep across an old stonewalls surface and four glorious seasons a calendar year. Imagine exploring native woodlands, sitting under a tree and sketching the branches or textures of century old trees. Picture spending hours at a New England shoreline, sifting through tumbled-rocks and combing beaches for seashells or discarded treasures that traveled across the ocean floor before it found its way beached on the sand and then into your hand.
My designs evoke antiquity, elegance, and the ethereal. Each piece is unique, conversation starting, and original statement jewelry!
I attended pre-college for 8 years at RISD prior to receiving my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting. Here I am at sixteen in the sculpture studio at RISD.
My designs are inspired by two concepts. Observations in nature and my imagination. I merge both ideas together into an organic, fine artful expression, also referred to as wearable art jewelry. Within my designs, you may notice an unexpected ocean-scape scene or a thoughtfully hand - fabricated nature patterned design. I l'll utilize color, texture and alternating bold and delicate lines to evoke drama within each of my pieces. My materials are ethically resourced and quality precious / semiprecious gemstones. My original chain designs are adjustable and have extensions to alternate length. I utilize the highest quality sterling silver or 14k gold. I've also created customized ear backings in a leaf motif for secure and comfortable support for your earrings to rest perfectly upon your earlobes.
I was raised in a small town called Warwick, Rhode Island and nearby by childhood home stood the "Costume Jewelry Capital of the World" in historic and beautiful Providence, Rhode Island. This is where my fascination for jewelry began! I hope you enjoy wearing my designs. If you have any questions at all please email me. I'd be delighted to hear from you!

Loay Ayyoub – Gaza reality : Story of Ahmed
One moment was enough to change his life forever and turn it upside down, and to increase the burden on him, as if not enough suffering and pain. Ahmed Akram al-Dali, 25, from Khan Yunis, was hit by a missile in the recent war on the Gaza Strip in 2014, after which one of his legs was amputated.
Ahmed, who supports two children in his modest home, lives in a cold and cold winter house. Rain infiltrates into his children's bed, but it is warm and old with the love that surrounds him. In the face of his amputation, Ahmed found himself in two ways, either to succumb to the circumstances of his injury or to fight and fight for his dreams. Of course, the first option was unacceptable to him, with the help of his crutches Ahmed decided to continue the confrontation, decided to conquer and challenge everything that would steal his dreams and hopes . Before the injury Ahmed had a great dream to represent his country in football matches where he was a distinguished player in Khan Yunis Sports Club, and despite the new obstacle in his life and his love of football, occasionally goes to practice his favorite hobby.
Ahmed works to repair the wheels of the air, and what he gets after the trouble of a long day crumbs is not enough to meet the hunger of his children and not even the minimum needs and living requirements. Ahmed's case is not an isolated case in Gazan society, but his condition is widespread. Hundreds of young people in the Gaza Strip suffer amputations due to Israeli terrorism, with little or no attention from the official authorities.

Known for
her sly humor and physical size, Ella fit right
in with a family that loves socializing and
basketball. Ella was tall! By the time she was
two, Ella was in the 99th percentile of height
for her age group. Her size often tricked adults
and other children into speaking to her as if
she was older than she actually was.
From early on, Ella was
friendly to everyone, flashing smiles to passers-by
from the seat of a grocery cart or from her
stroller. She loved it if you would sing itsy-bitsy-spider
with her or mention Beebo,
the Baby Signs Bear.
She loved music, dance and
reading. Before she was diagnosed, she attended
a Waldorf daycare, where she had a reputation
as the child who would dance along to the singing
of the closing circle. Her favorite books were
Daddy Book by Todd Parr and a sing-along
named Snuggle
Puppy by Sandra Boynton.
The terrible twos were worse
to Ella than she was to them; she showed remarkable
resilience and general good cheer in the face
of difficult times. So long as she could hug
her stuffed gosling, nothing was insurmountable.
Ella passed away on May
26, 2007. She will always be remembered and
loved by those who knew her, or who were inspired
by her story.
To learn more about
Ella and her family, visit her Memorial
Service page or view
of her.
