But the peace he fought so hard for is about to get a lot less idyllic - Business - Business Ideas

Access Hollywood nabbed two interviews on the occasion of the Scream Awards ceremony last Saturday (airing tonight at 9PM EST on SPIKE TV). It's great that both Lena Headey and Sean Bean were able to attend. First off, a video interview with both of them, after the win, sharing their impressions as well as thoughts on Lena's good friend Peter Dinklage.Even more interesting bits appear in this interview with Lena, where she discusses Cersei in season two and her character's relationships towards others, most notably Tyrion and Joffrey. Here are some snippets that I liked most:"I think she can't admit it to anybody," the actress continued, referring to Cersei's upcoming Season 2 predicament. "She's dying to ask for help, and she never will." / We're on our last few episodes," she said of progress on Season 2. "Joffrey is becoming more trouble." / "Jack Gleason is adorable, and just so good at being a little sh**," she laughed, complimenting her co-star. "He's so good at bein g terrible." / "This season there's a big arc with Cersei and Tyrion's relationship, which is really interesting, because it's love-hate there, totally," she told Access. "It's been really fun filming all those scenes, and there's just a lot more drama this year."Natalia Tena, not to be outdone by Miltos Yerolemou, has sent us her own thank you video! She literally stepped off the set of Game of Thrones and recorded this video in her trailer this morning, after learning she had won best supporting actress in our WiCnet Awards poll. Check it out!Winter Is Coming: How cool is that? Thanks to Natalia for taking the time to thank the fans and for recording and sending the video along to us. We're looking forward to seeing more Osha in season two! And if you want to see more of Natalia (literally and figuratively) right now, check out these YouTube videos of her band, Molotov Jukebox.Vote for ThronesYour votes helped pushed Game of Thrones to three Scream Award wins. Hopefully we can once again harness the power of the internet and get Thrones some more recognition!First, the People's Choice Awards has opened voting and Thrones has been pre-selected in two categories, Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show and Favorite Cable TV Drama. You also have the option to submit write-in votes for each category, so if you want you could write in some of the cast members in the acting categories. On Nov 8th, the top 5 vote-getters in each category will be announced as nominees and a new round of voting will begin. So vote often to get Thrones into that top 5!Second, TV Guide Magazine is holding a fan vote to determine what TV show will grace the cover of their Dec 12th issue. You have to "Like" their Facebook fan page to vote, but once you do, it looks like you can vote as often as you wish.Looks like we're in line for a March release for the Game of Thrones season one DVD and Blu-Ray. At least according to this British Video Association listing. This official-lookin g site claims to be the online home for "the trade body that represents the interests of publishers and rights owners of video home entertainment." They have Thrones set for a March 19th release date. And it looks like French fans will have a slightly shorter wait as this Warner Bros. France promo video advertises the release date as March 7th.Doing a bit more digging on that Mar 19th date, I'm guessing Mar 20th is more likely, as these things generally come out on Tuesdays. In addition, the Boardwalk Empire listing on the same site says Jan 9th is the release date, when it actually won't release until Jan 10th

Burnout Revenge - Wafer Check Valve manufacturer - Hand Lever - News - Business News

GameplayIn Burnout Revenge, players compete in a range of racing game types with different aims. These take place within rush-hour traffic, and include circuit racing, Road Rage (where players cause as many rivals to crash as possible within a time limit, or until the player's car is wrecked), Burning Lap (a single-lap, single-racer time attack mode), Eliminator (a circuit race where every thirty seconds, the last-placed racer's car is detonated; the race continues until only one racer is left), and Crash (where the player is placed at a junction with the aim of accumulating as many "Crash Dollars" as possible). A new gameplay feature in Burnout Revenge is the ability to ram same-way small to medium traffic, known as "traffic checking", propelling the rammed car forward; the event in which a "checked" car hits a rival is considered a Takedown. Traffic checking is the focus of a new race type, Traffic Attack (whereby a player must earn a set amount of Crash Dollars through checking traffic), which can be used later on.During these events, players have access to a limited amount of boost which is acquired through various dangerous driving techniques, including but not limited to driving on the wrong side of the road, tailgating opponents and drifting. Unique to the series is the concept of battling other rivals; unlike other video games in the racing genre, players are encouraged, and sometimes even required, to ram rival cars and cause traffic to crash. Causing a rival to crash is referred to as a "Takedown", rewarding the player by extending the length of their boost gauge and completely refilling it. In designated events, boost can also be used to activate a "Crashbreaker" during a crash, detonating the car and causing other nearby cars to crash. When the rival car takes the player down, the player will have to take the ultimate REVENGE by taking down the revenge rivals (which the arrow at the top of the car turned red) is referred to as "Re venge Takedown".In the main single-player game mode, players compete in a world tour consisting of 169 events across three continents, divided into a series of 10 "ranks". The ranks which a player has access to is determined by their "Revenge Rank", which increases after completing events. By increasing their Rank sufficiently, the player "ranks up" and unlocks the next rank of events.The game also features support for multiplayer gameplay, both online and offline. In addition to the racing modes, the game features three types of Crash modes: Crash Battle (multiple players attempt a junction at the same time), Crash Party (players take turns at attempting junctions across several rounds), and Crash Tour (a golf-like version of Crash Party, with players attempting to accumulate a certain amount of Crash Dollars in as few attempts as possible; after the last round ends the player with the lowest score wins). Xbox 360 versionThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge includes seve ral new features and improves the graphics of the game to utilize the power of the next-gen console. The game includes 10 new crash junctions on the Crash Tour. It also includes a vastly improved online mode that introduces online Revenge Rivals. This system allows players to keep track of their number of times they have been taken out or have taken out any given player.The new version also includes a new Burnout Clips feature, which allows to save 30 second clips of any offline race played and can be shared them with other players over Xbox Live. Bonus vehiclesThere are two extra vehicles that can be unlocked by the presence of a saved game from another title on the memory card or hard drive when you first create your profile. A Madden NFL 06 save will unlock the Madden Challenge Bus and a Burnout 3: Takedown save will unlock the Dominator Assassin. Both of these cars are available only for Crash events. They are also available for online use if you own an online adapter. A lthough it may not be hidden, after reaching the "Elite" rank, you unlock the Black Elite Racer, which has some references to the game, Black. Example, there are bullet holes all around the car, and the license plate on the back reads "Kellar", which is who you play as in Black Downloadable contentThe Xbox 360 version of Burnout Revenge was the first game to take advantage of kiosk downloads in North America, where players could take their Xbox 360 Memory Unit to participating stores such as GameStop, Circuit City, and Best Buy, and download new content for the game onto it. The provided content varied between kiosks.Xbox Live Marketplace content is also available in the form of new cars, including:Alienware CarDolby CarMonster CarPlantronics CarSpike TV CarYellowcard Car ReceptionPlease help improve this article by expanding it.

Electronic Arts is working on a new installment of the SSX series? - Computers - Computer Games

Kotaku Service arrived interesting gossip, which shows that EA Canada for more than two years working on a new installment of the SSX series, which allows to incorporate the fighting gravity riders and freestyle skiing (introduced in SSX On Tour). Production would be released in versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

According to the informant Kotaku editors, a new SSX will be a sort of return to the roots of the wow powerleveling series (they date back to 2000 and the PlayStation 2 console), but apparently it does not run out of new solutions, including the least successful control system known in the series SKATE (doing the use of two analog knobs). What's more, the game have to work largely with people in another part of the acquis SKATE'a. As everyone knows, about extreme sports, they have quite a lot to say.

It should be noted at this point that at the beginning of last month, appeared on the Web information about the registration by Electronic Arts a number of new Internet domains, which relate directly to the SSX series. Publisher thereby suggested that the new scene could bear the title of SSX or SSX Deadly Descent First Descent. So far EA has not opted for wider comment, unfortunately this fact.

In addition, Kotaku cites in his message speculation about a survey, through which the company Electronic Arts tried this year to reach your fans SSX. They contain a description of the potential production of snowboarding, maintained in very arcade-style (with the possibility ?migania the highest mountain peaks, surrounded by rolling the boulders, avalanches, etc.). For the case of EA was trying to find out whether the possibility of implementing new elements - including even base-jumping, drops from a helicopter and skyboardingu - meet the interest of fans. The case died down fairly quickly, not really bringing much new.

It is also worth noting that on the carpet is mysterious The Planet. This is a teaser to say, having to announce a new, unspecified production, which the official announcement comes during a gala Spike TV Video Game Awards (will be held this weekend). It shows, among others snow-capped peaks, and the helicopter, which falls flare. And while some players have suggested that refers to the Battlefield 3, theme also fits well with the SSX series.

We remind you that the SSX series consists of five main views, the last one - SSX Blur - Wii was released in 2007. Series alike enjoyed the players and critics, although the highest scores were able to get the first installment, and SSX 3.

upcoming game for ps3, rage - Computers

The person plays as a member from an Ark (a world-wide motion which took scientists and other vital people, and froze them underground in cryo-pods so they could rebuild Earth) however then the participant comes to realize that his Ark has malfunctioned and that he's the one survivor. Apparently this environment is completely suited to the tough-and-tumble dune buggy racing seen in video games like MotorStorm, as that form of gameplay shall be an important feature of Rage. Gamers may have the ability to reinforce their cars with numerous gadgets and upgrades they will acquire by finishing races, but the recreation is just not particularly a racing title, as accessible trailers of the sport have shown some first-particular person shooter content as well.

Rage may even characteristic some function-enjoying game (RPG) elements-an inventory system and the capabilities of weapons shall be based mostly around sorts of ammo. Players will even have the choice to customise their weapons. There may also be side missions. More on the RPG elements haven't been detailed. At E3, Tim Willits acknowledged that on the recreation's core is a first person shooter with automotive-combat added in and without the racing being the only and central focal point. The sport will be set in a submit-apocalyptic wasteland created by an asteroid impact. The world will be populated by the human survivors of the affect who have been preserved from the asteroid by being buried within the Arks. The world will even be populated by mutants who will serve as the participant's principal enemies at least for the first half of the sport, as id is currently talking of a major change on the halfway level of the game.

Reviews point out that id is growing Rage with a "T-for-Teen" score in thoughts, and that the Windows, Mac and Xbox 360 versions will ship on both two or three twin-layer DVD discs, while the PS3 version will ship on one Blu-ray disc. John Carmack has revealed that an uncompressed software program construct of Rage is one terabyte in size. While a Linux model is speculated there was no confirmation of an official construct, though Timothee Besset has said that he'll attempt to make Linux builds for Rage a lot as he has carried out in the past.

id announced its decision to companion with Electronic Arts for publication of Rage. On March 9, 2009, the corporate's CEO Todd Hollenshead advised GameTrailers TV, "No, it will not be out this yr," when requested about a possible launch date. A trailer and a number of other screenshots have been launched on August 13, 2009 at QuakeCon the place it showcased various areas, racing and first individual gameplay, and a short insight into the storyline of the game. During GamesCom in Cologne Germany, Digital Arts released four new screenshots for Rage.

In 2009, John Carmack acknowledged id Software will not be planning to support devoted servers for the PC version, and as an alternative will use a matchmaking system not not like console games. ZeniMax Media Inc., who had acquired developer id Software program in June 2009, announced that it had picked up the publishing rights to Rage, and that EA wouldn't be involved within the sales or marketing of the title. The announcement also noted that the event of Rage had not been affected by the brand new deal. Creative director Tim Willits confirmed to videogames blog VG247 that the game would miss releasing in 2010, and can now launch in 2011. Rage is due out on September thirteen, 2011 and shall be out there on PlayStation three, Xbox 360 and PC. Willits later accepted the award from IGN Media for "Best Recreation" and "Greatest First Individual Shooter" at E3. Moreover, the sport was awarded Finest First-Particular person Shooter, Finest New IP, Finest Xbox 360, PC, and Pla yStation three sport as well as the Sport of the Present of E3 2010 by GameTrailers.

In his keynote speech at QuakeCon 2010 on August 12, 2010, Carmack announced that id was growing a Rage-associated sport for Apple's iOS. He later described the mobile Rage as a "little slice of Rage ... [about] 'Mutant Bash TV', a put up apocalyptic combat recreation show within the Rage wasteland", and separately hinted that he would possibly attempt to port Rage Mobile to Android.
