It’s one of those things that is forever coming in and out of fashion, but 2015 looks like it will see some big-hitters in the gaming world adapting to the trend for fantasy-themed gaming.
With some of the biggest forthcoming titles like the formidable Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda series returning to our screens, it seems that fantasy is well and truly back. There will also be some hot new titles like Below for Xbox and Windows, as well as great online games like Casino Saga Fans that all seem to inhabit weird and wonderful worlds!
2015 looks to be the year that game play will decisively switch from using consoles to mobile technology, due to the fact that the most downloaded apps are gaming apps.
This will inevitably result in games being targeted away from the traditional gaming fan base – young males – towards a broader audience who are gradually becoming exposed to the technology that offers them gaming in the palm of their hand.
Another trend that will be magnified in 2015 is the synergy between different media outlets that seek to capitalize on the huge new revenues offered by gaming.
So 2015’s biggest film blockbusters such as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, will also be shifting their marketing weight behind a range of cross-platform games such as Star Wars: Battlefront.
Finally, it seems that the future is well and truly upon us with the rise of Oculus Rift. The hyper-real, low-latency headsets have recently received a massive boost through their $2 billion purchase by Facebook. And with the release of some very exciting beta games demos on their website, it seems that the next chapter of gaming has surely just begun!
Thanks for sharing these gaming trends with us. I don’t really get into this kind of technology.
Right. I was saying… Apple will ave a tough time to take smart watches and turn the into something really cool. I really do hope they still have the what it takes.
Thak you for the heads up on this, I really appreciate the information.
I thought back then Final Fantasy XV and the new Legend of Zelda would be released in 2015. Who knew the game of that year would be The Witcher III. A nice surprise.On July 13, 2021, KION Group entered into an agreement with the sellers to acquire 49.0 percent of the share capital and voting rights in a leading provider of warehouse and supply chain automation in India.

Here's an interesting screenshot comparison from the front page of the Washington Post.
The captures are of the exact same stories, one story by Dana Hedgpeth and Neil Irwin, the other story by Jim VandeHei and Paul Blustein. The screen captures were made just minutes apart.
The image of the left appears to an innocent mistake where the wrong image and associated byline were called up. The image on the right was intended to go with the Dubai Ports World stories.
The same two stories are present in each screen capture, but the startling contrast in images between a violent riot and a comparatively sedate seaport conjure up far different gut emotions about the "uproar," don't they?
What a difference a camera angle makes! To show political bias, you always portray an official with a packed house, if you're fer, or show empty seats, if you're agin. I don't think today many people can be suckered the way they used to be, there are too many sources of news out there.
I went there just now and the two pictures are much different. Now one is of a worker and one is of a politician.
TV and pop culture influenced by American propaganda and a renewed interest in nationalism helped drive our American cultural psyche toward a proxy war with the Soviet Union. The long term effects of this preparation and conditioning is evident in our perception of war and influenced our thinking so much so, that our music and daily life turned to more nationalist and conformity during this time period. The anti-war movement itself anticipated the ultimate show down as a no win draw where millions die.
While a full scale war with the Soviet Union was avoided, the mindset and potential always has and does remain possible. It's certainly an interesting study to ponder if the preparations for this were not influenced by our government through propaganda as early as they were if the natural American tendency to think of themselves as invincible would have prevailed and we'd never as a nation arrived at the MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) concept before more engagements took place.
The effect of this conditioning on our way of life and thinking led to food storage and survivalist practices that might not have ever even been visited. Self-sufficiency on a level not previously contemplated. Our recognition individually and resolve to self preservation as well as a concept of preserving our way of life on a national level.On August 19, 2021 Ambassador of the Kyrgyz Republic to the USA B.Amanbaev met with the President of the US National Democratic Institute D.Mitchell and informed about recent domestic political changes in the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the meeting they discussed the current programs and activities of the institute in Kyrgyzstan and joint plans for the future. Bakyt Amanbaev pointed out that Kyrgyzstan is interested in studying the positive aspects of the US bipartisan system, the successful application of the principles of checks and balances between the higher branches of power and suggested working together to strengthen inter-parliamentary cooperation in these areas. Ambassador Amanbaev also stressed the importance of advancing the Institute's programmatic work in the Kyrgyz Republic in areas that serve the interests of the state and the people.
Mr. Mitchell emphasized the leading role of Kyrgyzstan in the development of democracy and human rights in the region and assured that the Institute is ready and open to work with all interested parties in Kyrgyzstan.The Talizi hair transplant center was founded in Tbilisi in 1998. The director of the center is a young scientist and skilled surgeon, MD Akaki Tsilosani. Vaja Vadachkoria, Mari Gugava, and Eka Kandiashvili are the leading surgeons of the center. Skilled nurses and technicians work alongside them.
From the very beginning, we have applied the leading American hair transplantation technology – the transplant of follicular associations.
Our center is equipped with advanced technology, and the personnel have extensive experience. We use our own innovative and effective methods at each stage of the surgery.
In our center, we have developed special compression methods, which significantly reduce blood loss and surgery duration; thus, hair transplant surgery has become even more convenient for our patients.
All of these techniques, plus the professionalism and coordination of our team, have given the center the opportunity to carry out a great number of hair transplant surgeries in a short time. In the majority of the centers worldwide, the maximum quantity of transplanted grafts does not usually exceed 1,500–2,500 grafts in one session, which gives to patient 3 to 6 thousand hairs. Our hair transplant center is a rare institution, where more than 2–3 thousand grafts are transplanted in one session. Today, our skilled surgical teams can transplant 3,000–6,000 follicular units (7,000–14,000 hairs), or even more, during a 4–7 hour procedure.
Since 2002, our center has utilized a unique local anesthetic solution developed by A. Tsilosani with a special technique that has made the process of hair transplant absolutely painless. Moreover, the injection of this solution is almost painless, as is all the post-surgical period, since the anesthesia lasts over eight hours.
The anesthetic solution is harmless and is not toxic for patients of any age, has no side effects, and does not cause anaphylactic or allergic reactions. Most importantly, the application of this new anesthetic technique has completely halted post-surgical facial swellings, which was very disturbing for many patients.
The absence of post-surgical blood circulation issues helps to speed up the rehabilitation of our patients after hair transplant and also favors the fast healing of recipient parties, because of micro-circulation improvement. For example, our patients can wash their heads 24–36 hours after the surgery.
In 2003, under the direction of A. Tsilosani, we created an electronic system to calculate the number of micro-apertures made, which automatically (without the participation of the surgeon or assistant) counts the quantity of the micro-apertures created, and the information is displayed on the monitor for both surgeon and patient.
After extracting material from the donor zone, suturing is carried out in such a way as to make scars almost invisible. Thus, the intervention (including large scale transplants of 3,000 or more grafts) in the donor area does not leave a trace. This means that the places where hair was taken from are imperceptible, even to hairdressers.
Today, our clinic is technologically capable of reaching an almost natural density of hair in small recipient areas. On an area of one square centimeter, we can transplant up to 64 grafts, giving 100–150 hairs. Such density of hair transplantation is considered the ideal.
The Follicular Unit Extraction method (FUE) has allowed us to carry out surgeries of small scale (about 1,000 grafts) without cuts and sutures. By means of this method, we manage to effectively restore eyelashes and eyebrows after trauma and burns, and also are able to use hair transplanted from
