Preview: Apache: Air Assault
Sep 21
// Ben Perlee
Apache: Air Assault (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)Develop: Gaijin EntertainmentPublisher: ActivisionTo be released: November 16, 2010 To be clear, usually these sorts of titles appeal to a specific fanbase. While military simulations are always popular, they have a tendency to alienate more casual users by not offering the right sort of experience to appeal to everyone. Thankfully, publisher Activision and Gaijin Entertainment have added variations of difficulty to make the game more enjoyable to different audiences. For those who would rather get in the chopper and not worry about technical maneuvers or careful flight techniques, there is the Training Mode. While it restricts you from performing certain helicopter actions, it does let players go through the entire campaign without too much difficulty. For a greater challenge, there is Realistic Mode, in which players have only three lives. For players who really love helicopter action, there is finally Veteran Mode, offering only one life and finite ammo. The helicopters themselves are all Apache brand choppers: the Apache AH-64D Longbow, Apache AH-1, Apache AH-64X Experimental Prototype, MQ-8B Fire Scout, and Mi-35 Hind. While only major helicopter nerds will know the variations by name alone, players will find that each one controls and functions differently. Compared to airplanes, these machines need a wider turning radius, can obviously hover, and generally function in a manner very different from other flight simulators. Helicopters unsurprisingly have special abilities, and Apache pilots will be able to maneuver these machines vertically and nearly upside down, for example. These abilities range from hovering to shooting techniques. Dodging missiles is as easy as dropping altitude, yet to gain speed, the player must dive the Apache downward then swing up, much like a glider. There is a lot of flexibility with these vehicles, and it's going to require a minor learning curve even for those players who are comfortable with flight simulators. One impressive feature is how the helicopters handle variations of damage, such as flying with a damaged engine at the expense of mobility. However, certain parts, like the rotor blades, cannot be taken out without bad things happening. You get my drift. While flight simulators don't exactly offer in-depth plots, Apache: Air Assault tells the story of three different Apache crews working for a fictional UN military organization fighting insurgents across the world. I suppose it'll get the job done, but let's admit it, no one will be playing this game for the plot. However, missions themselves are rather dynamic. Objectives will change on the fly, and goals never take more than a few minutes to perform. The first level I was shown, taking place over the plains of Africa, guided us across bluffs and dusty roads while we took out insurgent vehicles. After reducing one insurgent town to rubble (hey, it was filled with no one but guerrilla terrorists, alright?), our Apache had to defend a fellow downed helicopter in a much larger city as insurgents attacked both us and the soldiers on the ground waiting for airlift. Success in this mission involved locking the Apache into a hover position, then switching over to a shooting mode, alternating between a tactical black-and-white vision cam that highlights enemy vehicles and an infrared cam that highlights enemy soldiers as solid white against a field of black. It looks pretty great, and once the rescue crew showed up, the mission became an escort mission. Within 15 minutes, missions varied from taking out targets, defensive aerial battles, and escort challenges. If the whole game can keep up with the variety, fans of flight simulators will have a lot to like. If not, they'll appreciate the free flight mode, with a whole set of variables to keep the gameplay dynamic. With regards to multiplayer, Gaijin Entertainment is taking a cooperative approach. Apache: Air Assault offers 13 multiplayer-exclusive modes with up to four players acting as a squadron to work through more team-based missions. Though online only, the main campaign can be completed as a co-operative team with one player acting as the pilot and the other as the gunner. Coming away from the game, it's clear that fans of air combat games and flight simulators will find a lot to appreciate and enjoy. Clearly, it's not for everyone, but it's a niche title for a niche audience. However, there seems to be a strong amount of polish and focus on making a helicopter title that works. It also helps that it is a great looking game with very lush and realistic geography and a solid draw distance. Hopefully, Gaijin Entertainment and Activision can keep things together and release a quality Apache helicopter simulator when Apache: Air Assault launches this November.
Apache: Air Assault is a special beast. While it might be considered a helicopter version of Gaijin Entertainment's IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, a military aerial simulator released in 2009, it is clearly a differ...
Impressions: Shogun 2: Total War
Sep 02
// Ben Perlee
Shogun 2: Total War (PC)Developer: The Creative AssemblyPublisher: SegaTo be released: March 2011 Since this is a shogun game, taking place in 16th century Japan, the idea of Samurai is really important. Players will be asked to lead one of twelve fiefdoms in the quest for Japanese Samurai glory and control of the nation. Starting off in 1545 AD, players will be tasked to guide Japanese culture through wars, the influx of Western nations, Christianity, gunpowder, cultural strife, and more. All of these features, as well as the turn-based elements of the game, build around the core of the game: the real-time battles. These battles are huge in scope and very tactical. Troops are organized by social and military types, and, interestingly, the enemy AI typically responds like traditional Japanese soldiers would. That is, they fight with a certain code of honor in which unit types fight like unit types, and there is no variation from that. Of course, you're allowed to ignore those honor codes, which is always fun, screwing with different cultural norms. Controlling the units is as simple as clicking a group and dragging them to the selected spot. Since these units can only walk, run, or ride horses, they don't move terribly fast, which creates a feeling of impending force. This a slow, powerful feeling RTS. And boy, there are a lot of units. From noble samurai to lowly peasants, to archers and ninjas, there are over 30 different types of Japanese military units to use. These will change over time, as the change in culture and influx of Western influences will influence the state of the battlefield. There's a lot to keep track of, and the way units are used and upgraded make a big impact on the field. One of the biggest impacts is the morale of the units. As units charge across the field, they have a morale meter that indicates how they are feeling on the field. If they face a particularly powerful unit, and their morale may drop enough for them to run away in shame. There is actually a couple ways to win these real time matches, and one of them is to weaken enemy morale by out manning them, taking over their fortresses, or to defeat their general. The generals play a big role in the battles, as a general-less army is severely weakened. When the general is around, he'll often make a speech to his troops, and these can range from epic poetry to odd words about squirrels and the moon. Depending on what they say, the troops can respond differently, both good and bad. Either way, it's good to have a general, as they have extra strength in the battle field, will often charge ahead, and can boost morale. However, is they die, troops morale will drop heavily, so it's best to keep him around as long as possible. Most of the matches are just battles on a battle field. However, other battles use the new naval battleships to blur the line between units. Shogun-era naval units were like giant floating fortresses, perfect for moving units along the shallow bays and rivers of Japan. Many of the battles will entail sending units from a ship to attack and overtake a Japanese fortress. These buildings have a staggered affect, in which units move from court yard to courtyard fighting. All of these elements will be in play for the epic battles. The battles that I was shown featured some impressive bits of tech. Shogun 2 is capable of supporting around 56,000 troops on one screen. Up close, sure, they look a little jaggy, but considering each and every one of them are taking part in individualized fights, this is more than impressive. Considering Kendo martial artists did all the mocap for the game, coupled with artists and musicians who spent a year and a to get everything right for the game, there is a very high standard for accuracy here. The team at The Creative Assembly used primary and secondary sources as inspiration for all the elements of the game, as well as the assistance of Japanese and Western scholars to make to make this as accurate as possible. All the voice acting and terminology uses the proper romaji and Japanese language, and real steps have been made to making this the best representation of Shogun Japan as possible. Over all, I'm pretty impressed with what The Creative Assembly has done. Even in pre-alpha, there are some pretty fantastic bits of tech here (hell, water runs off the roofs in a realistic manner during a rain storm, for example). Moving troops is a simple and thoughtful affair, and it looks like a very realistic take on ordering your troops about and lining them up. Coupled with the turn-based, Civilization-esque elements that I am not yet allowed to talk about, I think Shogun 2: Total War could very well be a major title for RTS PC gamers.
Recently Sega invited me over to its San Francisco offices to take a peek at the latest game in the Total War series: Shogun 2. As a return to the original Total War game Shogun: Total War, Shogun 2 is the latest in the real ...

Play as Al-Qaeda? I can�t support the new Medal of Honor
Jul 23
// Hamza CTZ Aziz
Yeah, it's just a videogame -- but for me, it's more than that. It just hits too close to home. This is an organization that's terrorized Afghanistan, America and numerous other parts of the world for decades now. To me, playing as Al-Qaeda means I'm helping the bad guys win. I've never been to Afghanistan, but I have family living there. I know how they've been affected during the Taliban's rule. Anyone who's read a newspaper in the last ten years knows of their injustices and crimes against humanity -- crimes committed under the guise of a view of Islam warped to fit their own twisted needs. It wasn't until the US invasion in 2001 that things seemed to get better. It's not puppies and rainbows for the country -- far from it -- but it's better than it was under the extremist rule, at least. Beyond my Afghan heritage, I cannot bring myself to play a representation of a group of people responsible for the events of September 11. I still remember, clear as day, seeing the second plane crash into the tower live on the news. The footage was so shocking that what I had actually witnessed didn't even register to me until the following day. I will defend Electronic Arts' right to make this game, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. The one saving grace is perhaps the single-player mode, where you play as American forces. Like I said in my preview, playing Medal of Honor will let me get a nerd's revenge against their bullshit organization. Game aside, these people are very real, and the fact that they are explicitly named is the key distinction as to why I'm so upset by this game. Other terrorist-driven war games, like Modern Warfare 2, don't cross that line -- they dance around as fantasy extremist groups at best. I'm sure many of my friends will support this game, and I won't preach against it. I'm just expressing my personal feelings for the game and what it may mean to someone of my similar heritage. Though I'm technically Asian, I won't be giving the Vietnamese or American soldiers a second thought in Call of Duty: Black Ops, but I'm sure there will be some Vietnamese and American people who will have issues with it, as it will be more than just a game to them. Does that make me a bad guy? Insensitive? I don't think it does. People of all nationalities have their chords, and this game happens to hit mine. At the end of the day, this is a personal issue that most won't consider because the average consumer won't be in my shoes. I hope you can respect where I'm coming from. Still, the question begs: Is this fun? Is it art? Better question -- Is this necessary? I don't think it is. For example, the America's Army games chose to take a different approach. The US Army developed the PC shooter to help train their soldiers. Seeing as this was a training simulator, they didn't want fellow soldiers to shoot other soldiers. Nor did they want them to play as the enemy. So the solution was that everyone played as the US military but they would see enemies with a made-up foreign military skin. It's one good solution, one that I wouldn't mind see put into Medal of Honor. It may not be right for the brand, but it's an example of one creative idea. The worst part about all this is that I'm in the middle of an FPS drought until Halo: Reach now. I've been off the Modern Warfare 2 horse too long to get back into that and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 just wasn't able to hold my attention for very long. Perhaps I could still play Medal of Honor, but I'll just end up griefing the Al-Qaeda team when I'm forced to play as them... Well at the very least, it's good to know that I haven't been completely desensitized by violent videogames. With all the time I spend shooting at your moms in Teh Halos, I was starting to get a bit worried I'd lost a little humanity.

Preview: Six Days in Fallujah
Apr 13
// Hamza CTZ Aziz
Six Days in Fallujah (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)Developer: Atomic GamesPublisher: KonamiTo be released: 2010 Next, we were shown a video of various Marines talking about their experiences in Iraq as a montage of real war footage was shown. At the end of the footage, the Marines in the video stated that they wanted this game to be made. They want people to see what they went through and hear their stories from the conflict. And that's what we're getting with Six Days in Fallujah. The team from Atomic Games talked to Marines who were at Fallujah to help create an accurate game. The team got the reports, photos and videos from the Marines to ensure that gamers see what happened. Atomic Games worked closely with the Marines in order to nail down the AI for the Marines in the game. They'll be moving and using tactics that Marines use in real life to help deliver a legitimate experience. The team also talked to insurgents and Iraqi citizens so they could have all sides covered when telling the tale in this game. Six Days looked like a Ghost Recon-type game where you're moving around in third-person with a squad of soldiers backing you up. It wasn't made clear if you'll have any sort of squad commands, though. The game is still a year away, so visually it was nothing particularly special. The game was also very brown, which makes sense with the Iraq setting. Still, the environment looked very stale due to all the "brownness." There were a few firefights, and it looked like your standard third-person shooter affair. The game has the regenerative health system in place, rather than the health bar system some lady was saying it would have. One of the big things Six Days in Fallujah has going for it is the promise of fully destructible environments. They created a new game engine called the "Atomic Engine" from scratch in order to create the fully destructible maps. We were shown a couple of examples of how the player can plant charges on walls in order to flush out enemy insurgents hiding inside houses. It remains to be seen just on what level the destructibility will be. Is it going to be in the style of Red Faction, where EVERYTHING is destructible, or will it be like Battlefield: Bad Company, where everything but the frame of the building can be blown up? It's hard to say if Six Days in Fallujah will live up to all of its promises this early on. Ben PerLee, who was at the event with me, noted that a number of people at the event felt uncomfortable with the game. If you've never had any issues with any other war game, movie or book before, then you have no right to say that this game is wrong in any way. Actual Marines who were in Iraq are behind this game and they just want people to see what it was like. On a related note, go watch Generation Kill. It does a great job of showing what Marines went through during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
One of the last games Konami showed during the opening presentation at their Gamer's Night was Six Days in Fallujah. The game has gained a lot of attention already due to it being set during the early days of the invasion of ...

The Dilemma of 11 Non-quitting Girls!
The Juhudi field team has identified 11 teenage girls who urgently require fees in order to attend a 3 month tailoring and dress making training. The girls, who dropped out of school due to poverty, are keen on reigniting their shattered dreams. They are expected to join the Juhudi project of rescuing teenage girls currently listed on Globalgiving UK website.
Through well wishers and other sponsors, we hope to raise £1500.00 required to cover tuition and practical session fees by Mid August 2009. We thank Globalgiving UK for the alive and learning challenge; an opportunity we believe will help our organization reach a wider audience on this noble course. The chance to receive a bonus of £1000 if we reach the target of £2000 by 14th August is indeed a challenge within a challenge. We therefore appeal to more sponsors to help us achieve this realistic goal by making a donation to www.globalgiving.co.uk/2247.
We are highly optimistic that together we will help these young girls reshape their future with every penny that is donated. Rita, one of the girls, has her ambitions set to becoming a boutique owner once she is through with her training and supported with capital to start off. She expects to uplift the rest of her family members from the yoke of poverty. "I am very encouraged by our sponsors, I won't let them down. I want to help the rest of my siblings and myself to have a better life than we do" she said amidst tears of joy.

Recurring Role
When Danny "goes ghost" for the first time, before the blue transformation aura gets to his hands, the one you can see turns white like it is covered by his costume.
Mr. Lancer said it was an all steak buffet in the Teacher's Lounge, but burgers, hot dogs, and bacon fly out of the teacher's lounge in addition to steak.
When Danny and Tucker are rescuing Sam in the school basement where all the meat is hidden, right after Danny knocks the Lunch Lady against the wall and the camera focuses on his face up-close, the left side of his hair is black even though he is in his ghost form.
When Danny goes to save Sam from being hit by the plates, Sam's tights change color to green from their usual purple.
When Dash lifts Danny off the ground his shirt rises up slightly and a black belt is clearly seen. Later, there is no belt visible when his shirt rises up to the same point.
In Star's (who plays a much larger role and officially "debuts" in "Lucky in Love") third cameo, she was in front of Sam, Danny, and Tucker, although in her fourth cameo, after the meat truck explodes, she is suddenly behind Tucker.
When Jack turns on the Fenton Xtractor, his hair gets torn off, however in the next scene where he and Maddie ambush Jazz with the Fenton Xtractor, all his hair is back in place.
After Maddie says, "Jack, Danny is not a ghost," Jack says, "You're right, Jazz is." When he says that, he has pupils.
The cap of the Fenton Thermos keeps appearing and disappearing when Jack is at Casper High.
The oval on Sam's shirt randomly changes from purple to green throughout the episode.
Danny sees the Lunch Lady Ghost through a window in the cafeteria, looking into the kitchen, but when he enters the kitchen, the window is nowhere to be seen.
(After the Lunch Lady attacks Danny, Sam, and Tucker when she learned Sam change the menu)
Sam: This the thanks I get for thinking like an individual?!
Sam: (Chanting with the other vegetarians) Veggies now, veggies forever! Veggies now, veggies forever!
(Lunch lady grabs Danny as large meat monster)
Tucker: (Pulls out fork and knife) Help's on the way buddy!
Tucker: Hey Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, what a school day! Poor Danny nodded off and we figured we'd carry him all the way home and tuck him into bed without any parental interaction whatsoever.
Sam: Don't get up! We know where to go! Bye!
Jack: Hmmmmmm...
Maddie: Jack, Danny is not a ghost.
Jack: You're right.....Jazz is.
Tucker: (Begins cutting pile of meat Sam is in) I'll have you free in no time Sam!
Sam: You've gotta be kidding me!
Danny: How is it that I have the ghost powers and you're the weird kid?
Danny: I'll take care of the ghost. You just try and find a way to get Sam out of that pile of meat!
Tucker: (Pulls out fork and knife) Way ahead of you.
Danny: (Talking to Lunch Lady) I command you to...go away! (Nothing happens)
Danny: It's been nearly a month since the accident and I still have barely any control. If anyone finds out, I'll go from geek to freak around here! (Sinks into floor without noticing)
Tucker: Kind of like what you're doing now?
Danny: AUGH!!
Jazz: (After being ambushed by Jack and Maddie) This is all going in the memoir!
Lunch Lady: (speaks to Sam who is currently surrounded by meat) My dear child, meat is good for kids, it helps them grow, and makes them smile. Why won't you eat it? (Holds up a drumstick to Sam's face)
Sam: We don't need meat. That's fat.
(Danny flies out of the school, carrying Sam and Tucker. He looks tired)
Sam: Gee Danny. Fighting meat monsters, flying through walls, you must be exhausted.
Danny: (Tired) What? Of course not. What would... give you that idea... (Danny passes out)
Sam: This is the thanks I get for thinking like an individual?
Danny: (After seeing the protests Sam & Tucker have made) Don't you guys think this is a little extreme?
Tucker: No choice, buddy. Either you're with me--
Sam: --or you're against him!
Sam & Tucker: So whose side are you on?!
Lunch Lady Ghost: Then perish!
Danny: Forget it! The only thing that has an expiration date here is you! (Changes back to human form accidentally) Whoops! I didn't mean to do that.
Jack: So, Danny, you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts?
Danny: Uh, actually, Dad, I want to be an astronaut.
Sam: Sorry, Mr. Fenton. I was into ghosts, but they're so mainstream now. They're like cellphones.
Tucker: Waste these looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts? Criminal.
Mr. Lancer: (Enters office with broom to punish Danny & Tucker) Gentlemen, your punishment will be... (Sees empty room) Worse... than you can imagine!
Jazz: (To punk kid) Spike, you have to open up to your parents. Be true to yourself and them. I mean, it's not like they are going to attack you or anything... (Jazz gets caught in a net)
Jack: We got her! And the Fenton Grappler is working like a charm!
Maddie: I don't understand. If Jazz is a ghost, why hasn't she phased through the net?
Jazz: (Angry) Because I am not a ghost! (Takes off net) You've ambushed me, suffocated me with smoke, and worse, you pulled me away from Spike before he had his breakthrough! What do you have to say for yourselves?
Jack: (Takes out the Fenton Thermos) Eat hot Fenton Thermos, ghost gal! (Thermos short-circuits; Jack shakes it) Darn thing still doesn't work!
Lunch Lady Ghost: No! Soup isn't on today's menu!
Danny: I'm changing the menu, permanently! (Takes cap off the Fenton Thermos) Please work... (Danny begins to glow; Fenton Thermos charges up)
Danny: I hope I'm right!
(Lunch Lady Ghost gets sucked up into the Fenton Thermos; Danny changes back to normal)
Sam: Danny, what happened? Where's the ghost?
Danny: (Shows the Fenton Thermos to Sam) My parents have their moments...
(After Danny's ghost sense goes off)
Danny: (To Sam & Tucker) Uh, guys. I've got a problem.
(Mud is thrown at his head)
Dash: FENTON!
Danny: Make that two problems.
Dash: I ordered three mud pies! You know what they gave me? Three mud pies! With mud! From the ground! All because of your girlfriend!
Danny: She's not my girlfriend!
Sam: I'm not his girlfriend!
Fenton Finder: (Leads Jack and Maddie to Danny) Ghost directly ahead. You would have to be some sort of moron to not notice the ghost directly ahead.
Danny: Oh, sorry, Dad. (He points behind himself) You just missed him.
Jack: We got a runner!
(He and Maddie run in the direction Danny's pointing)
Jazz: Great. Back to square one.
Tucker: Meat! Why have you betrayed me!?
Danny: (To Jack & Maddie) Actually, I need to tell you guys something.
Jazz: That's not the only thing you need, Danny. You need guidance -- and parents who can provide it.
Maddie: Sweetie, I know that what we do doesn't make sense sometimes, but you're only --
Jazz: Sixteen -- biologically, but psychologically, I'm an adult, and I will not allow your crazy obsession with ghosts pollute the mind of this impressionable little child. (To Danny) Come, you abused, unwanted wretch. I'll drive you to school.
Lunch Lady Ghost: Cookie?
(Sam nods her head no)
Lunch Lady Ghost: Then PERISH!
Danny: (After turning into human form) Change back! Change back!
(Changes back to ghost mode)
Danny: (To his parents) Thanks for the thermos!
Jack: (To Jazz) Ha! Ghost kid! (Starts chanting) You were wrong! Ghosts exist! Ha, ha, ha! I never doubted it for a second!
Mr. Lancer: Manson! Pick up that T-bone.
Sam: With my hands?
Mr. Lancer: Foley! Pick up that turfwich.
Tucker: With my hands?
Tucker: (After Danny wakes up) You passed out. We took you home. You've been asleep for four days!
Danny: FOUR DAYS?!?!
Tucker: (Laughs) Nah. It's only been a couple of hours.
Jack: (To Danny, Sam, & Tucker) And this is the Fenton Thermos. Designed to capture ghosts. It doesn't work yet, so it's just a thermos. A thermos with the word Fenton in front of it! Okay, any questions? (Sees Danny, Sam, & Tucker huffing) You're so excited, you're speechless, so I'll continue speaking. I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the woods. Don't remember where exactly, but I do remember I wanted a pony. Never got the pony, in fact, we had to eat horsemeat during the war. I had a problem with that.
Danny: (Heroically, to Sam & Tucker) Get behind me!
Sam: (Sarcastically) Wow, I feel safe.
Danny: I'm going ghost!
Tucker: (Sees the Lunch Lady Ghost) She doesn't look too tough, she looks a little like my grandma.
Danny: Shouldn't she be haunting a bingo hall?
Danny: (After Sam rants about her life) Sam, I'm talking about my powers, my problems...
Sam: Oh, right... me, too...
Danny: (After catching multiple plates thrown at him) Well, if the whole super hero thing doesn't work out, I can have an exciting career as a busboy.
Mr. Lancer: Ah. Miss Manson. The school board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our cafeteria.
Tucker: (Starts sniffing) Meat. Near. (Sniffs Mr. Lancer)
Mr. Lancer: (Nervously) No! No. The rumors about the all steak buffet in the teacher's lounge are completely untrue. Thanks again.
Tucker: Yeah. Thanks again for making us eat garbage, Sam.
Sam: It's not garbage. It's recyclable, organic matter.
Danny & Tucker: It's garbage.
In the Spanish version of the show, Danny's true last name isn't "Fenton" but "Phantom", and in his alter ego isn't called "Danny Phantom", but "Danny El Fantasma", which literally means "Danny The Ghost".
In the Danny Phantom universe, the ghosts are not necessarily dead spirits, but rather "monsters" with ghost like abilities, some having been human on Earth. Butch Hartman, creator of the series, stated this himself.
It is revealed that since he got his ghost powers Danny wanted to tell his parents but Sam and Tucker didn't want him to tell.
Tucker is a glasses wearing, techno-minded, sidekick-like nerd archetype with the surname of Foley and at one point was given super powers by a villain. The teenaged title character of "Static Shock" has a friend with the same attributes (albeit although their races are switched), Richie Foley.
Jack is the only one in Danny's family who doesn't have pupils.
When the Lunch Lady Ghost gets sucked into the thermos, she looks like she has no form.
This is the only episode where Danny can barely control his powers at all.
Look Hard: All the characters are more square-shouldered than all the other episodes.
When the Fenton Thermos was used in this episode, you could see that the light that comes out of it took the shape of a net, but in other episodes, it does not.
When Danny goes intangible, he is a misty blue, but in other episodes he is clear. This happens quite often throughout the series. In fact, the same goes for his invisibility -- right down to the same color switches.
During this episode, the Ghost Portal is blue.
Danny is the only one in the trio who has pupils.
It is shown that Danny's Ghost Tail isn't affected by fire or lightning, but it can still be physically touched.
Danny learns in this episode that it is possible for him to make other people intangible.
Insight Digital Description: An all-vegetarian menu at Casper High School invokes the wrath of a wraith called the Lunch Lady.
Danny, Sam and Tucker all have black hair.
Look Hard: In Danny's bedroom, you can see a blue skateboard. This probably means that Danny knows how to skateboard, which was proven in the episode "Pirate Radio"-- Danny rode a skateboard for a short sequence of the battle scene on the pirate ship.
We learn that Sam used to be fascinated in ghosts, but she lost interest because they became so mainstream, like cellphones.
The recyclable organic matter that was being served in the cafeteria is called a "turfwich."
This is the first time that Tucker and Sam appear on the title screen.
Apparently, the Lunch Lady Ghost used to be a lunch lady at Casper High.
The background music that plays during the title screen in this episode is different from the usual background music that plays during the title screens of the majority of future episodes.
It is revealed that not all the Fenton inventions work properly.
Dash is the first person in the series who thinks that Danny and Sam are a couple.
Mr. Lancer reveals that star jocks are exempt from punishment.
Look Hard: On the Teacher's Lounge door, it reads "Rm00," meaning the room number is 00.
Look Hard: In the hallway, directly after the scene when Jack says, "Danny, no, it's a trap!" there is a banner that says "School Spirit." This banner is later acknowledged in the future episode, "My Brother's Keeper."
Jack reveals that, at this point, he does not know how the Fenton Portal works, even though he built it.
Sam reveals that her parents do not accept her for who she is and we later see that in "Control Freaks."
Jack reveals that he was born in a log cabin in the woods, and wanted a pony but never got it.
Jack almost gave up ghost hunting in this episode, but changed his mind when he heard Danny's voice and saw the Fenton Thermos phase through the ground.
The title screen caption for this episode reads "All New: In Terrifying Meat Vision!" The phrase, "meat vision," is the same phrase that was used to describe Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad's ability to create meat by using their eyes in an episode of Butch Hartman's other show, The Fairly OddParents, called "Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad."
When Danny goes intangible at certain points in this episode, his body glows blue, mainly when he is making a human intangible, therefore this is a way to sometimes tell whether Danny is invisible or intangible, although in "Maternal Instinct," it is confirmed that Danny is either intangible or invisible, when his body becomes transparent.
It is revealed that ghosts also have the power of remote influencing.
Apparently, Danny can be seen when he is intangible.
The Lunch Lady Ghost reveals that the Casper High lunch menu has been the same for fifty years.
Look Hard: In the cafeteria, there are signs that read, "Art Show," "Student Body Elections," and "Go Casper." These signs along with the "This Week, Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarian Week" banner is shown again in "Reign Storm."
Running Gags:
1) The Lunch Lady Ghost changing her mood from calm and concerned to angry and dangerous
2) The Fenton Finder leading Jack and Maddie to Danny, but they think it's broken
3) Jack and Maddie attacking Jazz, thinking she's a ghost
4) Mr. Lancer shouting names of movies, books, poems, etc.
The animation in Danny Phantom is slightly different than the animation of Butch Hartman's other show, The Fairly OddParents. In Danny Phantom, the characters are more realistic; they have five fingers, rather than four. Also, characters in Danny Phantom have more angles and aren't so round, and almost every character has a neck in the show, while only few characters have necks in Fairly OddParents.
Look Hard: Star (who does not officially debut until "Lucky in Love") makes four cameos in this episode. The first one is in the hallway, directly after the scene where Jack says "Danny, no it's a trap!": Star can be seen walking within a crowd of people. The second one is in the cafeteria: Star can be seen on the far right of the lunch line with a tray in her hands. The third cameo is during the meat and veggie protest, when the camera focuses on the meat truck after Sam and Tucker say in unison, "Whose side are you on?" The fourth cameo is after the meat truck explodes: Star is behind Tucker.
Look Hard: Nathan (who does not officially debut until "Reign Storm") makes three cameos in this episode. The first one is at the protests during the scene where Danny says, "You guys put together two protests in one night?," Nathan can be seen in the background, although he is completely gray. The second one is when Sam is explaining why Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarians are always ready to protest: Nathan can be seen behind her in the background, still in gray. The third cameo is when the kids at the protest are looking at the meat swirling: Nathan is behind Sam and in color this time.
Look Hard: The signs that were shown in the pro-veggie protest read:
1) Green Green Green.
2) Give Peas a Chance.
3) It's Easy Being Green.
4) Tofu Tastes Sort of Good.
Look Hard: The signs that were shown in the pro-meat protest read:
1) Meat.
2) Eat Meat.
3) Meat is Neat.
4) Meat Kicks Butt.
5) Meat Meat Meat.
6) United We Eat Meat.
7) We (picture of a heart) Meat.
8) Go Meat.
Opener: Jack is teaching Danny, Sam, and Tucker how to hunt ghosts, even though they don't want to. Two ecto-pusses come through the Fenton Portal and grab Sam and Tucker. Danny fights them off without Jack noticing anything. Jack just keeps talking about how the equipment works, and then starts telling them his life story.
According to their permanent records Mr. Lancer was reading, Danny has broken thirty-four beakers in the last month and is banned for life from handling all fragile school property, possibly a result from his random intangibility manifestations. As for Tucker, he is noted for chronic tardiness, talking in class, and repeated loitering by the girls' locker room.
Major Human Debut(s): Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Dash, Mr. Lancer.
The name of the book that Jazz is reading in the beginning is titled Surviving Adolescence Through Therapy.
Jack mentions that he's never actually seen a real ghost.
We learn that Tucker has the ability to sense meat.
Danny was able to power up the Fenton Thermos by fusing his ghost energy with it, but in future episodes, it is apparent that anybody can activate it.
It is revealed that, at this point, Danny has had his ghost powers for one month.
Main Villain(s): Lunch Lady Ghost.
Major Ghost Debut(s):
Lunch Lady Ghost - She controls lunch everywhere she goes. She loves meat and hates vegetables. The Lunch Lady Ghost has the ability to control meat and meat byproducts and also the ability to turn into a fifty-foot meat monster.
Title Screen Caption: "All New: In Terrifying Meat Vision!"
Look Hard: During the food fight in the cafeteria right after Sam says, "It's not garbage, it's --", you can quickly see a Crash Nebula lunch box fly by along with the mud.
Introduced Ghost Power(s): Flight, Ghost Sense, Invisibility, Intangibility, Body Splitting.
Featured Named Invention(s): Fenton Thermos, Fenton Portal, Fenton Xtractor, Fenton Finder, Fenton Grappler.
We learn that Sam is a vegetarian/herbivore (She doesn't eat meat), Tucker is a carnivore (He only eats meat), and Danny is an omnivore (He eats meat and vegetables).
Premiered at 9:00 PM EST; after the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2004.
We learn that Danny's school's name is Casper High.
We learn that Danny wants to be an astronaut when he grows up.
Vegetarian Protest Sign: It's easy being green.
This is a nod in the direction of the phrase "It's not easy being green", which is often said by Kermit the Frog, a character from The Muppet Show.
Sam Manson: Character
The fact that Sam is a gothic girl and her last name is Manson might be a parody of goth rocker Marylin Manson.
Jack Fenton: Reed Richards
There are numerous similarities between Danny's father and the Fantastic Four's leader, the former's bumbling aside. Both spend much time on new inventions, they've each a line of white along the bottom of their hair, they inadvertently created super villains that were once their friends in college, and both are often so caught up in their work, they fail to notice their surroundings.
Danny Phantom: Powers
Danny's ghost powers each are shared by comic book superheroes:
Flight and Strength: Superman
Body-Splitting "Stretching": Mr. Fantastic
Invisibility: Invisible Woman
Intangibility: Shadow Cat
Episode Title: Mystery Meat
The name comes from a term that is used to describe questionable cafeteria meat.
Danny Phantom: Costume
Danny's costume design and color looks just like the Fantastic Four's costumes after they left the Negative Zone.
Spike's necklace
Spike's necklace is an ankh, which has many meanings:
Egyptian hieroglyphic: Life
Astrology: Venus (Roman Goddess)
Alchemy: Copper
Biology: Female gender
Danny: Lifestyle
Danny's lifestyle is very similar to Peter Parker's (Spider-Man). Danny is shy, skinny, and considered a geek among classmates, just like Peter. Danny has a football-playing bully (Dash) that constantly bullies him all the time for no reason, which is similar to how Flash Thompson picks on Peter. Also, Danny is more confident in his super hero mode which causes his crush to fall in love with his super hero persona, which seems to be attributed to how Mary Jane eventually fell in love with Spider-Man. In addition, the way how the town newspaper, the "Amity-Park-Angle," made Danny seem like a villain but the citizens eventually figured out that he was a good guy is very similar to how the "Daily Bugle" (run by the Spider-Man hater, J. Jonah Jameson) constantly tried to make Spider-Man look like a villain, but the citizens of New York eventually discovered that Spider-Man was indeed a hero. More Info
Danny Fenton / Danny Phantom: Names
The way how Danny's real name and super hero identity sound very similar seems to be a nod to many comic book metahumans whose real names and "super names" sound nearly the same; such as Pamela Isley -- Poison Ivy (from Batman), Victor Fries -- Mr. Freeze (from Batman), and Otto Octavius -- Dr. Octopus (from Spider-Man).
Mr. Lancer: Paradise Lost!
Paradise Lost is a large collection of poems written by John Milton. They are an elaboration of Genesis in the Christian Bible, mainly about the struggle between heaven and hell. More Info
Bottled Water: Alpine Winter Water
The label of the bottled water that was in the airplane read, "Alpine Winter Water." This seems to be a parody of the real-life brand of bottled water, "Ice Mountain Spring Water."
Danny: Ghost Sense
Danny's ghost sense manifests as a wisp of glowing blue smoke from his mouth. This seems to be a nod to M. Night Shyamalan's film, The Sixth Sense. Cole Seer is a boy who can see ghosts, and one of the tell-tale signs on is in the area is a sudden drop in temperature. When we see Cole's breath hanging in the air, we are immediately alerted to the presence of ghosts.
Fenton Thermos: Appearance
An obvious parody of the traps from the Ghostbusters films.
Dash: Appearance & Personality
Dash Baxter is likely attributed to Spider-Man's Flash Thompson, the quarterback at Peter Parker's high school who would always pick on him. Flash also had blonde hair and constantly wore his letterman's jacket, just like Dash.
School: Casper High
The name of Danny's school is "Casper" High. The Casper part is taken from the famous friendly ghost, Casper.
Protest Signs: Give Peas a Chance/Meat is Neat/Tofu Tastes Sort of Good
Sam's Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarian friends are almost all hippies (There's even one with gray hair running away when the Lunch Lady Ghost attacks). As such, they hold up signs, some of which are patterned after real signs (Give Peace ("Peas") a Chance, was the cry against the US-led war in Vietnam and a song by John Lennon played very usually on those protests).

Family, friends and fans came out to greet Olympic silver medallist Janine Hanson as she arrived at the airport late Wednesday night.
Originally from Winnipeg, Hanson was part of the silver medal-winning women's eight rowing squad in London.
On Thursday morning Hanson dropped by for a live interview in the Free Press News Café.
The 29-year-old says every bit of sacrifice she has made during her athletic career, particularly over the last gruelling year, has been worth it.
"I got exactly what I wanted this year and that was to stand up out of the boat at the end of my race and really ask myself, regardless of the result, if I could have given anything more. The answer is 'absolutely not' and I am thrilled," she says.
Hanson will not attempt to defend her team's medal in 2016 because she is retiring from competitive rowing. She is looking forward to getting married next February.
"Rowing will always be a part of my life but I will do it recreationally instead of having it be the sole focus of my life," she says.

I LOVE this foam wedge, it's perfect for reading in bed and so comfortable. I made a cover for it and it looks like a headboard. Great quality!
The Wedge Pillow is advertised for folks that are required to sleep at an angle with their head higher than the stomach. From the pictures of the two adults it would seem the wedge is long enough to give adequate support from the lower back to the top of the head. I am only 5' 3" and I can say the length of the Wedge Pillow is not nearly long enough. The wedge easily requires another 6" or more of length for an average adult around 6" tall. On the other hand the height is to high. So when you manage to grab enough extra pillows to give the the needed buffering to sleep angled you end up sliding down your bed. Certainly whomever designed this unit never actually ran trial testing. If the pillow was 6" longer and the height was cut in 1/2 this wedge would be just right. They also show the adults lying on it without pillows and yes that is certainly possible but the wedge is quite stiff and does not easily conform to your body contours as easily as advertised so you will require a pillow for your head for extended comfort. This raises your angle even more. On a good note the unit is well made and solid. If you take the unit as pictured in the ads and turn it 180 degrees it does work as a nice head board for sitting fully upright to read or watch TV from bed if you do not have a headboard or your headboard is straight up and requires some padding for comfort when sitting upright. This is what we use it for now. Certainly that was not our intention when purchasing the unit. I guess you could say we made Lemonade out of Lemons. Thumbs down for use as a pillow and Thumbs up for use as a foam headboard.
I purchased this wedge because my husband must sleep at an angle as a result of an esophagectomy due to cancer. This wedge is both compliant with his medical requirements and it adds greatly to the aesthetics of our bedroom. Very much appreciate the product!
I love this wedge. I have mild sleep apnea and the masks don't work for me; I take them off in my sleep. This wedge keeps me at an angle that prevents my airway from collapsing. After years I am finally waking up refreshed. It did take some creative thinking at first to make it work because I used to slip down in the night and end up flat and not breathing well by morning. I had a bed pillow (the kind you use to sit up in bed and read) and I propped it under my bottom to keep me from sliding down....now I sleep like a baby.
I like this product because it fits across the whole bed. It's just too high. I bought it for GERD. Very hard to sleep on. If it was 6" it would be great.
I wanted this for behind the bed to use as a wedge to not only sit up but also sleep. It's hard as a rock. It's not flat on the end of the wedge so you feel it on the lower back and it's so uncomfortable with your head that you are feeling bricks. It comes to your home folded and in this plastic bag where they suck the air out and when you open the bag, it expands and pops out... IN OTHER WORDS>>> you can't return it. It's absolutely impossible to return this because it's huge, heavy and you cannot shrink it and fold it.. so you are stuck. I dont even know how to throw it out... will be donating it to good will. Very upset with this one. Threw away money... dont buy it.
I received the memory foam bed wedge a couple of weeks ago. I was previously using a single one but my husband wanted one so I decided to get one to go across our whole bed. We really like it. We both have GERD so this has been very helpful for us.
Quality construction, fast delivery. Not long and tall enough to give good back support and keep me from slouching down during the night. Ended up making my back ache.
It is a little big and bulky. Works perfect as a wedge for the headboard. I found that it can be put on edge and leaned upwards for another use. I would have preferred one about 6" rather than the 10" but some people with back problems may need the extra height. Quality is excellent with a very good zippered cover.
Using this bed wedge has made my back pain disappear! I went from sleeping a few hours each night, waking up several times throughout the night due to back pain, to sleeping through the night. It took a few days to getting use to the incline, but definitely paid off. If you are suffering from back pain and sleep deprivation, give this product a try. It has made the world of difference for me.
Item is as stated. More firm than anticipated. Works, so happy, but would prefer it not be so stiff. This is our second and first did not seem as firm.
I was using a smaller singe person bed wedge due to my acid reflux and it was not comfortable, I kept falling off the sides of it. I saw this wedge and loved the fact it went across the whole bed. Now I sleep better without trying to stay on a smaller wedge. The cover on this wedge is attractive and soft and is of good quality. The wedge is just the right firmness for good support without feeling stiff or too soft. I like the height of this wedge but other reviewers stated it was too high. It is just like the picture and measurements are given but having slept on a single wedge this wedge was the answer to my problem.
This wedge would be great for reading or watching TV, but is way too tall to sleep on. It is too heavy and bulky to move on and off the bed to sleep. It would be great for using a twin bed or day bed as a couch.
not comfortable to sleep with,good for reading,angle is weird mabe to high and to wide
as described fast shipping
Did not fit my planned use.
We needed this wedge for myself with GERD and my husband with heart problems. But it's also comfortable. Great for reading or watching TV in bed. Use it over or under the mattress. We've had it a couple years and it's kept its shape perfectly. Doesn't scoot or twist. There's a washable removable cover.
This is great for people that have breathing problems.sleeping on the wedge was comfortable.price was very good too!
We ended up using a medical bed to give the proper elevation support.
As a Nurse who suffers from Acid Reflux, I find the use of this wedge to be an excellent substitute for an adjustable bed, and considerably more affordable.
