W-Ltmemo J. R. SCOTT.
1 1 61,984. Patented Nov. 30, 1915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN R. Scor'r, citizen of the United States, residing at Tracy. in the county of San Joaquin and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Games, of which the following is a specification.
The primary purpose of this invention is to amuse and at the same time educate a person in finance particularly in the operation of the markets of commercial centers in the barter of securities and commodities.
The invention provides a chart embodying tabulations which represent various transactions upon the markets of the stock exchange and grain and cotton centers, specific transactions being determined by means of a dial and pointer and the valuation being determined on reference to the tabulatransactions as they occur in practice upon the chief markets such as dealings upon the stock exchange or in the markets for grain and cotton. the various results of the different deals being indicated upon tables forming a part of the apparatus.
The invention consists of the novel features, details of construction and combination of parts, which hereinafter will be more particularly set forth, illustrated and claimed.
In the drawings hereto attached :-Figure 1 is a plan view of a dial and pointer embodying the invention showing cooperating indicating means. Fig. 2 shows a detail view of the several tables containing the results arising from specific indications of the dial.
In accordance with this invention a card or like base is provided with a dial 1 and an indicating caption which is subdivided generally to designate the chief markets such as the Stock Exchange of New York, the grain market of Chicago. and the cotton market of New Orleans. The division representing the New York Stock Exchange is subdivided and each subdivision represents a particular listed stock, which in the present instance is designated under the various headings of Canadian Pacific, United States Steel, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, Philadelphia & Reading, Pennsylvania Railroad, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, American Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 6, 1915 Patented Nov. 30, 1915.
Serial No. 12.588.
Smelters, and Southern Pacific. The grain market is subdivided and the several subdivisions are designated under the headings of May wheat May corn. and av oats. Thedivision representing the cotton market is divided and the several sululivisions appear under the following headings: Oct ber cotton, November cotton, and December cotton. At each end of the line bearing the names of the securities and commodities appears the word ame," calling attention to the title of the trade to be conducted. Below each of the words Name appears matter designating the opening, the high, the low, and the closing sale for a given period and under each heading appears the respective numerals corresponding with the opening, high, low, and closing sales. The closing sales are used as the basis for each and every transaction, the purchase or selling price of any of the noted securities or commodities corresponding with the closing sale, and the selling or buying price being designated upon the dial 1 by means of a pointer 2 which is spun, the column designated by the pointer when coming to rest designating the sale or buying price and the difference between such selling and the purchase price representing the profit or loss, which is readily ascertained upon reference to the proper table appearing on Sheet 2 of the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that the caption designates nine of the stocks listed on the New York Exchange. three of the grain products dealt in on the Chicago Exchange, and three periods of cotton dealt in on the Cotton Exchange of New Orleans, making a total of fifteen listed securities. The dial 1 contains fifteen concentric circles, one each of such circles corresponding with a security noted in caption. Each of the concentric circles is subdivided and the subdivisions bear numbers corresponding with sales. The subdivisions of the circles are arranged in radial lines corresponding with columns and each of such columns is provided with a designating number. The numbers properly appear in circular and lateral columns. In the event of a player selecting a number of securities, one spin of the pointer 2 designates the sale or purchase price of each of such securities, such sale or purchase price being found in the lateral column of figures designated by the pointer when coming to rest. The difference between the indicated sale price and {he purchase price represents the profit or oss.
The upper two tables appearing on Sheet 2 designate the value in dollars and cents of the difference in points between the purchase and sale values of the securities. The uppermost table refers more particularly to the value of stocks and grain in number of I shares and bushels. The table second in order refers to the value of the points between the purchase and the selling price of cotton in bales. The remaining two tables indicate. the points corresponding with the lateral columns of the dial 1, hence the tables provide for ascertaining readily both the value and pointsbetween the purchase and selling price of any Security.
The following indicates three trades, one in cotton, one in stock, and one in grain: Bought 10 bales Dec. cotton on close at 9.57. Bought 10 shares Sou. Pac. on close at 82%;. Bought 2000 bu. May wheat on close at 94%;. The pointer 2 is spun and comes to rest upon the lateral column of numbers designated by the number 10. This shows that December cotton is closed at $9.49 or at a loss of eight points equaling $4.00. Southern Pacific is closed at 80% or 1% points loss equaling May wheat is closed at 95% or 1%; points profit, less commission of equals $30.00 less $2.50 or $27.50 net profit.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection Withthe accompanying drawings, the advantages of the construction and of the method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation of the invention, together with the device which 'I. now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative, and that such changes may be made when desired as are within the scope of the invention as claimed. I
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A game of the character specified comprising a dial embodying a plurality of concentric and lateral columns of numbers, each of the lateral columns having a designating character, a caption comprising vertical columns corresponding in number with the number of concentric circles, each of such vertical columns having a heading corresponding with a security and numbers corresponding with sale values, and a reference table embodying horizontal and vertical columns which are provided with names corresponding to the designating characters of the aforesaid caption and numbers corresponding'to value and points between the purchase price of a security and the sale price as indicated by the dial, and a pointer .mounted upon the base and adapted to be spun over the dial and pivoted thereto.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature 'in presence of two witnesses.

One of South Jersey's dwindling number of 'dry' towns is considering whether to license restaurant liquor sales.
So far, the public discussion in Haddon Heights has been as congenial as the Camden County borough itself. About 60 people attended a special borough council hearing Tuesday, but most of those who spoke seemed more concerned about the licensing process than the prospect of breaking with an 81-year-old tradition.
Not so the aptly named, gentlemanly teetotaler Jerry Drinkwater, 74, who urged the council not to allow liquor sales, period. "We already have a B.Y.O.B. system in town...and I think that''s as far as we ought to go," the retired salesman said. "There's plenty of liquor around in other towns."
A roundup of Tuesday's Philadelphia Inquirer headlines:
"Ethics board opens sting inquiry: The case of four Pa. legislators allegedly recorded taking money is to be scrutinized."
"Judges' fate is now in jury's hands: Ex-Traffic Court jurists accused of fixing tickets."
Our quote of the day comes from none other than Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.
After a long contentious battle over school funding, where Philadelphia Democrats begged Harrisburg to enact a $2-a-pack tax that would be levied only against city smokers, a no-brainer in any other political climate, the House finally passed the measure late Wednesday. This came after Corbett said over the weekend, "I would encourage the delegation, the Democrat delegation, from the city of Philadelphia ... to give the votes to get a pension bill done so they can get a cigarette tax done so they can get additional funding for the school district of Philadelphia," adding "It's in their hands." The statement was met with outrage and derision by the Philadelphia delegation and Mayor Nutter.
A Camden-based blog called Local Knowledge continues to attract thoughtful, impassioned posts about the city's past and future.
Two recent contributions in particular -- one from a person identified only as "SB," the other from educator Keith Benson -- have given rise to an online conversation about the shortcomings of Camden's approach to redevelopment. The posts were sparked by the recent announcement of an $82 million, state tax credit-funded practice facility for the 76ers that will rise on the Camden Waterfront.
Benson, who teaches in the city and is studying for his Ph.d in education at Rutgers-Camden, says those in power seek to attract "outsiders" to Camden while ignoring the needs of longtime residents. "SB" is less troubled by so-called gentrification, but lambastes the typical Camden development as an oversubsidized "smoke and mirrors" exercise.
Behold Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' on a Rutgers-New Brunswick syllabus.
All the single ladies (all the single ladies)/All the single ladies (all the single ladies)/All the single ladies (all the single ladies)
As my Inquirer colleague Jonathan Lai writes, the megaplatinum hip-pop singer and her lavish video oeuvre are the focus of a three-credit undergraduate course called Feminist Perspectives: Politicizing Beyonce.
Historic perspective never hurts. We may think an issue has never been worse, only to discover the problem is older than we are.
A terrific trio of student journalist editors continue to battle with the Neshaminy School District over the outdated, misguided and offensive-to-many name of the football team, the subject of Sunday's column. That name is shared by the NFL team in Washington, D.C., where many fans would also like to see the name changed -- even the U.S. Patent and Trademark office -- but not owner Dan Snyder, the poobah that makes all the others look good.
Emails being sought as potential evidence in a federal probe of the Delaware River Port Authority have gone missing, alas, as a new epidemic rooted in history spreads from Washington, D.C. to Camden.
My colleague Paul Nussbaum's Inquirer story about the seemingly elusive digital correspondence of DRPA staffer John A. Rogale offers a reminder of how digitally pratfall-prone are the powerful. When it comes to understanding technology, Rogale candidly tells Nussbaum, "I'm a zero."
The DRPA's contract compliance director is not alone. Consider onetime IRS impressario Lois Lerner, some of whose email correspondence is said to have succumbed to a computer crash. A similar calamity may have befallen a former Environmental Protection Agency staffer, agency chief Gina McCarthy informed skeptical members of a House oversight committee Wednesday.
Sightings of what is believed to be an over-sized weasel known as a fisher have been reported in South Jersey - primarily Pennsauken - in recent weeks, but there's been no conclusive evidence.
Indeed, wildlife officials have gone on record as saying the presence of a fisher is unlikely.
We wonder what they might say now that there is evidence that at least one fisher is on the prowl in the most urban setting of the Bronx, of all places.

Bulgaria's Roma Celebrate New Year
Monday, January 14 is New Year's Day for Bulgarian Roma, who are celebrating their traditional Bango Vassili holiday.
The date of the Roma New Year is not only moved forward in accordance with the old Julian Calendar, but involves the tradition of the great old saint Vasil.
According to one version of the legend, Vasil rebuilt a bridge destroyed by the devil, so that the Roma might walk across; according to another, he saved from a great flood.
Taking its name from him, the Roma feast is called Vasilyovden (Vasil's Day), Vasilitsa, or Bango Vassili (the Lame Vasil).
Roma families gather at their homes January 13 for New Year's Eve and hold festive dinners, traditionally including poultry (goose or rooster), as well as dolmas and festive breads.

The city is attempting to reach 10 percent, a figure that state officials encourage and that would help the city in future bids for state funding of various community projects.
Five separate parcels on Boston Way are for sale, but only about 5.2 acres of the total can be developed due to wetlands issues.
The prime part of the usable acreage would be the first parking lot on the western extremity.
Parts of wild acreage on the other side of Boston Way could be built upon, but state officials said that developers should embark on due diligence with environmental experts to determine just how much land near the wetlands could be used.
Several structures in the vicinity would not be part of a purchase price, Winter said.
One is a building off Boston Road that currently houses an emergency-medical service company. Its owner is reportedly open to selling, at a desired price of about $2 million, it was said.
Nor is another structure, the large empty "train station" in a parking lot off Boston Way, part of the bidding process.
State and city officials say they have the intention of improving this notably vacant building, but no specifics were given.
Winter and Port said that one variable in the bidding process is that the developer's plans would have to coincide with a municipal ordinance that would govern the development of this acreage.
The council has not finalized such an ordinance, and several developers said that much "conversation" would have to take place before serious bids could be made.
Representatives from local development companies including L.D. Russo, Stratford Realty, Green & Co. and MINCO Corp. attended the session.

Almost 5,600 Sony Corp. laptop computers and 35,000 gas-grill components were being recalled by the manufacturers because of safety concerns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
Users of nearly 5,600 Sony Vaio notebooks could receive a mild electric shock when the computer is connected to a telephone line and the phone rings. However, no incidents were reported, the government agency said.
All the modems of the notebooks sold between June and July 2003 with model numbers PCG-FRV25 and PCG-FRV27 should be disconnected from the phone line, CPSC said.
Sony will provide a free repair of the China-made notebooks and extend the current limited warranty to two years from the date of purchase. Customers may contact Sony at +800/880-9743 or www.sony.com/pcsupport.
The commission also announced the recall of 35,000 American-manufactured gas regulators made for Char-Broil, Kenmore, and Thermos brand gas grills.
The maker, Marshall Gas Controls, discovered that the device that controls gas pressure can also leak a highly flammable propane gas. The company has accounted for 23,000 regulators thus far, said a spokesman for Marshall Gas Controls.

but I am continuing to feel better. I just didn't have the energy to sew yesterday. But I did get into the new car and set my seat position and learn some of the features. The car also has Bluetooth and I eventually got my smartphone connected to my smart car. They both almost out-smarted me. Now I can call my Mom from my car and she can be talking to me while I have a wreck from being distracted by talking on the phone. Progress!
My leg is better but still looks like something from a horror movie. I am such a slow healer. If I get a scratch it will stay red for 6 months. Clearly my leg is going to be quite the beauty on the beach in June!
Nothing is more healing than a mailbox of goodies! I got a box of thread from Superior today. The gray and brown are my favorite piecing colors. The spools are for my travel machine. The colors are just to add to my stock of Magnifico and King Tut.
Love thread. It's almost as good as chocolate!

This guy is the biggest a-hole I have ever heard on radio. He comes on around 4:00. He's gone so beyond the pale in disrespecting not only the Raiders Organization but the Raiders great fan-base that I feel compelled to ask for a boycott of 95.7 until he either tones down his disgusting and uncalled for attacks or is fired.
If someone more tech savvy could start a social media campaign against this clown, all the better.
This isn't about some radio hack being critical of the Raiders or their fans. This has gone way way way beyond that. I have never seen anything like it.I cannot believe that station management has encouraged this guy.
Listen for yourselves and then do what you can.

Developing Country Debt and the Market Value of Large Commercial Banks
AbstractThe effect on commercial banks of exposure to large amounts of developing country debt has been a topic of increasing concern in recent years. Fear of default on the part of the debtor countries has led to fears for the solvency of the creditor banks since in many cases the total of outstanding exposure to risky debtors exceeds the entire capital base of the banks involved. The paper presents a first effort towards measuring the effects of LDC debt exposure on the market value of large commercial value banks in the United States. Our results indicate that exposure to developing country debt has exerted a measurable and significant negative effect on the ratio of market to book value for these banks.

Winter weather, a dodgy pitch, a fired-up opponent and Nelsen's experience all tell him to expect a difficult afternoon.
The former New Zealand international isn't about to rest on his laurels after his new-look team's 2-1 win in Seattle last weekend.
"I've been in the game long enough to know now that as soon as you start patting yourself on the back, somebody knees you in the …," Nelsen said Friday with a laugh, not completing the sentence.
"So we have to get our feet right back on the ground and get ready for this game, because this will be an extremely difficult game."
D.C. United had a bye last week after losing its season opener 3-0 to the visiting Columbus Crew. So they have had two weeks to prepare for Toronto.
Environment Canada called for "a mixture of snow and freezing rain" Friday night, saying "a potent disturbance currently over Minnesota is expected to carve a path across Southern Ontario."
"I might be wearing gloves (Saturday)," said striker Jermain Defoe.
The England star, who scored twice in his MLS debut, seemed unfazed by the Toronto winter that won't end.
"I played in Russia," he said. "It's cold. But I suppose when you run around, you might get warm so it will be fine."
The weather is supposed to improve as the day wears on, which is good given the 4:30 p.m. local kickoff.
But the pitch at BMO Field, an adventure at the best of the times, could still be an issue.
"Obviously with this winter, the ground staff have had virtually no time to do much on the field," Nelsen said. "So it could be interesting, we're not really sure.
"It could be a bowling green, it could be a bit different."
Nelsen, whose team checked out the pitch earlier in the week, said he expects a soggy surface.
The good news is that Toronto is almost at full health for the game with the return of Brazilian forward Gilberto and English fullback Bradley Orr.
The only Toronto players missing are midfielder Jeremy Hall and teenage striker Jordan Hamilton, both nursing hamstring injuries.
With a 3-24-7 record, D.C. United was one of only two teams to fare worse than Toronto (6-17-11) last season (Chivas USA went 6-20-8). The team has made wholesale changes since then, bringing in forwards Eddie Johnson and Fabian Espindola, former Montreal midfielder Davey Arnaud and defender Jeff Parke, among others.
The visitors have two Canadians on the roster: former Toronto FC defender Nana Attakora and midfielder Kyle Porter.
Nelsen started his career with D.C. United while midfielder Dwayne De Rosario finished his 2011 MVP and Golden Boot year there. D.C. United elected not to pick up his option at the end of last season, setting the stage for the 35-year-old to re-sign with Toronto.
"They're a playoff team, there's no question about that," Nelsen said of D.C. United.
"They'll be stronger, they'll be wanting to make a point … they can turn over any team anywhere so we just have to be on our game," he added.
Toronto fans will be eager to see more of Defoe and midfielder Michael Bradley, who pulled the strings in Seattle.
Defoe showed off his clinical finishing against Seattle, with two goals in 24 minutes. He has now scored in his debut for West Ham, Tottenham, Portsmouth, Toronto and England.
"A lethal finisher," said D.C. United coach Ben Olsen.

The trailer, titled "Epic Night Out," follows four friends as they make their way through a war zone formerly known as Las Vegas. Frank Sinatra's "I'm Gonna Live Till I Die" plays in the background of a soundtrack of gunfire.
In Call of Duty: Ghosts, gamers will immerse themselves into a new storyline, written in part by Oscar-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan, who wrote Traffic and Syriana. Following a devastating attack by The Federation that leaves the U.S. a wasteland, Elias Walker and his sons Hesh and Logan and Riley, a military-trained German Shepherd, embark on a series of missions that take them from the dangerous deep sea to the weightlessness of outer space to icy Antarctica.

Well I have been reading stories on this site for over 2 months now and figured it was time to add my own. I am a 33 year old, happily married mother of two beautiful children. Like most moms on this site these kiddos stretched my body to the limits and my body never recovered. (My oldest was 8 lbs 7oz and birthed vaginally while my youngest was 10 lbs 12oz and was born by C-section) I gained... more

I've done everything and have always met or exceeded my weight goals after my pregnancies, unfortunately my body is just not the same. When I'm at my lightest weight, I'm still disgusted with the amount of skin/fat left on my belly. I've gained a lot of muscle this year through crossfit and eating right. I love... more

I started this process last year, having 3 consultations and doing a ton of research.

I can't believe I'm really doing this in 5 days! TT, MR, Hernia Repair and BA. I have been thinking about getting my tummy repaired since my oldest son was born 16 years ago!

Strider is the latest release from Amazon acquired developer Double Helix Games, and an attempt to revitalise one of Capcom's most unloved heroes.
For the duration of this hack and slash adventure you play the role of Hiryu Strider – a futuristic, sword-wielding techno assassin – as he hacks and slashes his way through hordes of Russian robots. As far as story goes, that's about as deep as it gets; there are no Metal Gear Solid style cinematic cut scenes, no Mass Effect inspired dialog trees, and no game changing choices, you're simply presented a hero, a villain, and then thrown straight into the action without any unnecessary dialogue.
Strider follows a tried and tested formula that harkens back to the NES days of 2D Metroid and Castlevania. You're left to your own devices to navigate a sprawling world, defeat bosses and acquire upgrades that unlock previously inaccessible areas (sound familiar?). The game's controls feel tight, with Hiryu's sword swipes feeling fast and satisfying, while his signature cart-wheels and slick maneuverability allow for some rapid acrobatic destruction that gives you a great sense of power while throwing enough enemies at you to maintain the challenge of the game.
Stylistically, the game looks good without ever being beautiful. The colourful 3D character models pop against the backdrop of blue and grey, but the areas just aren't varied enough to ever make them particularly interesting, and screen after screen of cold futurism quickly grows tiresome. One or two infuriatingly cheap boss battles may also sour the experience, but that's also kind of the point. The elation you feel that one time you're victorious is enough to offset the frustration of countless deaths leading up to it. Much like Capcom's iconic Mega Man series, you're encouraged to hone your skills and memorise enemy attack patterns in order to progress.
Strider is a game that combines old school mechanics with modern aesthetics, which ultimately makes for a fun experience. It's not revolutionary by any stretch of the imagination, and it has its fair share of flaws, but if you're looking for a challenging 2D side-scroller to tide you over until Shovel Knight or Mighty No. 9, then you can't go far wrong with Hiryu's latest adventure… Especially considering it's free via PlayStation Plus throughout July.
The Incredible Story of No Man's Sky
Posted on June 27, 2014 Leave a Comment
No Man's Sky – with its infinite procedurally generated, massively multiplayer universe – was undoubtedly one of the biggest hits of this year's E3 conference.
Developed by a small group of UK based developers, No Man's Sky managed to steal the show without any of the pomp and bluster that typically accompanies E3 announcements; there were no booth babes, no flashing lights or theatrical displays… They didn't even have a booth.
The core idea of No Man's Sky was what resonated with so many people and propelled this ambitious indie game to the forefront of the video game industry.
This brief video covers the inspiration for the game, the obstacles Hello Games managed to overcome, and how a tiny team of UK based developers outshone the likes of Ubisoft and EA:
E3 2014: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Star Fox for Wii U
Posted on June 10, 2014 Leave a Comment
Nintendo just casually dropped a bomb shell in the form of Star Fox on the Wii U.
In the midst of E3 2014 it seems that Time magazine have mistakenly published an interview with acclaimed video game producer, Shigeru Miyamoto, confirming details of an upcoming Star Fox game on the Wii U.
The game is clearly still in the early stages of development, with Miyamoto claiming to have spent 6 to 10 months experimenting with the concept: "We originally began working with Star Fox back on Wii, and we had a small group of people experimenting with it for many years, maybe about six years, but we didn't find an idea that really brought that together for the Wii. So instead we moved experimentation to the Wii U using some of the same assets."
"… When we were developing a game, I wind up playing it for many hundreds of hours, and so because of that, I tend to get a little further away from the experience people have when they're playing it for the first time. But that's something we always pay attention to when we're developing the game, and in this case I think Star Fox will be a game you spend a little bit of time getting used to the controls, but that once you do, then you'll understand what's fun about that experience."
Miyamoto then explained some of the proposed control concepts of the newly announced title, with the Wii U's unique (but often underused) GamePad and motion controls being a clear priority this time around: "… I also think that for a lot of people, they don't have experience playing this sort of dual-screen gameplay, where you're aiming with motion control and playing across two screens at once, so that also is maybe taking people a bit longer to get used to. But I look at video games as something that people who play them… One of the thing they enjoy is learning the controls, learning to master the game. And once they do, that sort of opens it up for them, they're thinking about, "Oh, what's this play style?" And then as they get deeper and deeper into the game and get better at it, they feel that sense of accomplishment having mastered it."
"And then once you get used to the play style… I didn't go into this detail the other night because it starts to get a little bit complicated, but once you get it, you'll also be able to press a button to switch the view from one screen to the other. So you could play with the cockpit view on the TV and the fighter view down on the GamePad screen if you feel like that's a better way to play."
Miyamoto concluded with a suggestion that Star Fox Wii U could take the form of a series smaller bite-sized games (presumably similar to the episodic structure popularised by recent Telltale Games releases) rather than one long standalone AAA title, comparing the approach to a TV series: "… One thing I'm thinking is that with this Star Fox we may take a different approach, so that rather than one big title we have multiple releases that are connected through different missions. If I was to describe the Star Fox series up until now as being sort of a movie series, I guess I'd describe this new approach as something that's more like a TV series for Star Fox."
Alongside F-Zero and Metroid, Star Fox is one of the key Nintendo franchises that die-hard fans have been clamouring for since the divisive Star Fox Adventures and disappointing Star Fox: Assault on the Nintendo GameCube somewhat tarnished the franchise's reputation.
The bad reception that those two titles received certainly contributed to Star Fox being left out in the cold throughout the Wii's life cycle but – with the Wii U struggling for exclusive games and third-party support – Nintendo is seemingly listening to its customers and looking toward its most recognisable characters to address some of the Wii U's problems.
Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter Coming to Wii U for Smash Bros.
Posted on May 29, 2014 Leave a Comment
Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U will be compatible with Nintendo GameCube controllers, courtesy of an adapter revealed by Nintendo today in a promotional video for E3's Super Smash Bros. Invitational Tournament.
The adapter will seemingly occupy two USB ports on the front of the Wii U system, allowing players to connect up to four wired Nintendo GameCube controllers to play the upcoming Super Smash Bros. title.
This is big news for competitive Smash Bros players, with the Nintendo GameCube controller being widely considered as the definitive Smash Bros control option, especially considering the Wii U Pro Controller's questionable button layout.
Nintendo declined to comment on whether this peripheral would be compatible with other games, or if wireless Wavebird controllers will also be supported.
The announcement of GameCube controller super has also lead to speculation that Nintendo could be adding some much-requested GameCube games to the Wii U's Virtual Console library.
Pullblox World Coming to Nintendo Wii U
Posted on May 29, 2014 Leave a Comment
Nintendo just nonchalantly announced that Pullblox World – the sequel to the brilliant downloadable 3DS puzzle games, Pullblox and Fallblox – will arrive on the eShop this June.
Pullblox (or Pushmo as it's known in North America) launched on 3DS in 2011, and was quickly followed by successor Fallblox (or Crashmo) just one year later.
Pullblox World will launch on the 19th June, and customers that have previously purchased either Pullblox or Fallblox will receive a generous 30% discount on the new title.
Nintendo Announces Affiliate Program for YouTube Let's Play Creators
Posted on May 29, 2014 Leave a Comment
Nintendo has announced a new affiliate program that allows "proactive" creators of YouTube Let's Play videos featuring Nintendo games to a cut of the ad revenue.
In a statement to Gamasutra, Nintendo announced: "We are preparing an affiliate program in which a portion of the advertising profit is given to the creator. Details about this affiliate program will be announced in the future."
This is a vast improvement over the stance they took in 2013, when Nintendo controversially began claiming ad revenue on YouTube videos featuring their intellectual property. However, the initiative still requires Let's Play creators to jump through hoops to qualify, with YouTubers being required to seek official permission from Nintendo before they're entitled to a cut of the revenue.
Nintendo have been notoriously awkward when it comes to the streaming rights for their games in any capacity; the Evo 2013 fighting game championships dropped Super Smash Bros. Melee from the event after Nintendo of America denied the tournament holders permission to broadcast the game online. Nintendo quickly changed their stance following widespread backlash, and the game was quickly reinstated, but it just goes to show how out of touch Nintendo can be when it comes to the wider gaming community.
Batman: Arkham Knight Looks Incredible on PS4
Posted on May 21, 2014 Leave a Comment
Rocksteady have just served up a first look at the next installment in their famed Arkham series of Batman games, Batman: Arkham Knight.
Long story short: it looks incredible and perfectly demonstrates why this game is a next-gen exclusive and will not be appearing on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Featuring a myriad of Batman's deadliest foes, the much-loved Batmobile making it's playable debut in a Rocksteady Batman game, and some of the most gorgeous graphics ever to grace the PS4 and Xbox One, I think it is safe to say that this conclusion to the Arkham trilogy may finally validate the the purchase of a next-gen console for those still sitting on the fence.
Google Look to Boost YouTube with $1 billion Twitch Acquisition
Posted on May 19, 2014 Leave a Comment
YouTube has reached a deal to purchase the popular video game streaming service, Twitch, for "more than $1 billion" according to Variety's sources.
If successful, the deal would be the most significant in YouTube's history and would significantly bolster the service and its content offering, with Twitch being far and away the number one service in its field with over 45 million monthly users and support built-in to this generation's two major home consoles, the Xbox One and the PS4.
Sources claim that the Google-owned company are set to make an announcement "imminently" announcement regarding the acquisition.
'Halo 5: Guardians' is coming to Xbox One in fall 2015
Posted on May 16, 2014 Leave a Comment
Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced the next-installment in the hugely popular Halo franchise, Halo 5: Guardians, via a blog post by 343 Industries' General Manager, Bonnie Ross, detailing the future of the Halo franchise.
Set for a fall 2015 release on Xbox one, Master Chief's imposing frame graces the Halo 5 teaser image, confirming a return to action for the franchise's much-loved hero. Bonnie Ross also confirmed the game will be bigger in terms of scope and content, as well as running on a "brand new and more powerful engine", which bodes well for fans of the franchise hoping for a truly next-gen experience and a true progression from 2012's Halo 4.
If fall 2015 seems like a long way off, then rumours suggest that Microsoft are also preparing a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition for later this year, which should placate some fans looking for that next-gen Halo fix.
Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation
Posted on May 15, 2014 Leave a Comment
Blake J. Harris' Console Wars chronicles Sega's remarkable transformation from industry punchline to global video game powerhouse, focusing on the console war of the early 90s that was waged between Sega and Nintendo, Mario and Sonic, and children around the world that felt compelled to take to the playground and passionately defend their platform of choice.
Despite being only 5 or 6 chapters into this 500+ page tome, Console Wars has already detailed Tom Kalinske's arrival at Sega, the US video game crash of the early 80s, and Nintendo's ascension from an obscure Japanese playing card manufacturer to the arcade conquering creators of Donkey Kong, and I'm just beginning to delve into the juicy details of Nintendo's experimentation with home consoles, the NES, and Shigeru Miyamoto's ascension to industry legend.
Few historical video games are this well-written, feature this much insight, and are able to hold your attention for 500+ pages without descending into mediocrity, but so far Console Wars definitely delivers on its promise, and the fact that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are currently developing the feature-film adaptation (in conjunction with Sony Pictures) is a major stamp of approval for Blake J. Harris' work.
If you have any interest in video games or simply wish to experience a snapshot of the past where the world was seen in 16-bits, then do not hesitate to pick up this great example of video game literature.

Update: 'The Sans Pareil Mystery'
'The Strand' in Fiction
Feeling good today because that's another 1,000 words written of 'The Sans Pareil Mystery.' The trouble is though, that we Historical Fiction authors seem to spend three hours researching to every one hour writing. I've been battling away trying to work out the shape, architecture and business landscape of the famous London street, The Strand, in 1810. I'm determined to recreate the noise, sights, sounds and smells of this location in the Regency era to make the experience as authentic as I can for my readers. And what do I end up with after two hours research? Only enough information to embellish three short paragraphs of prose....(sigh)
Thoughts from an absent-minded author
I love it when I'm so immersed in my story that I'm still developing the plot as I carry out the more mundane aspects of my life, like strolling around the supermarket. After a two year break (necessary because my late-husband's illness) I now feel like I've returned to my favourite place after a long absence. My head is swimming with ideas, characters are talking to me and settings burst alive in vivid detail. However, the supermarket cashiers aren't usually too keen when I try to pay for the groceries with a dry-cleaning card...(sigh)
Covent Garden Capers
I've spent a wonderful afternoon writing and researching my latest Regency mystery. Set in Covent Garden in 1810, I found myself exploring more and more websites which detailed the long - and notorious - history of London's modern-day theatrical district. Back in the Regency era, Covent Garden had already established itself as the biggest market for 'fruit, flowers, roots and herbs' in Britain. It also had more prostitutes per square foot than any other part of the capital. The Grand Piazza, originally designed by Inigo Jones back in the 17th century to mimic the great neo-classical piazza's of Europe, was nicknamed: 'The great square of Venus.'
One contemporary observer declared: 'One would imagine that all the prostitutes in the Kingdom had pitched upon this blessed neighbourhood for a place of general rendezvous. For here are lewd women in sufficient numbers to people a mighty colony. And that a fuel for the natural flame may not be wanting, here is a great variety of open houses whose principal employment is to minister incitements to lust.'
I just hope that Detective Stephen Lavender can keep his mind on the case in this novel!

'The Testament of Mariam' is a fascinating and very clever novel which would appeal both those who follow Christianity and those who don't. This is a superb historical novel which successfully transports us to life in First Century Galilee and Gaul. Dusty, sun-baked and oppressed to different degrees by the Romans, the landscape of the Swinfen's novel is a character in its own right. Told from the point of view of Mariam, the elderly - and now dying - sister of Jesus, this imaginative and quiet novel almost underplays the most retold story of the Western world as we follow Mariam from her home village in Galilee to the vine-clad slopes of Gaul. Thoroughly researched, the novel explains some of the most glaring exaggerations of the Christ-story and provides an excellent twist to the role played by Judas in the betrayal of Jesus. Thoroughly recommended to Historical Fiction lovers, Christians and atheists alike.

Review: Rattleman
Rattleman by George D. Shuman
This is a superb book. Not only does it have a great plot and a chilling serial killer but the effortless description of the Appalachian Mountains was outstanding. I was there, scrambling up those rocky hillsides, listening to the crack of the spruce and smelling the blood.
It took a little time for me to fall into step with the two main characters, Sheriff Wayne and Judy, but the detailed depiction of the killer kept me enthralled. Once the book got into its stride I was hooked and read the whole thing in twenty four hours. This is one of the best book I have read this year.
