GDC 2012: War of the Roses First Gameplay Trailer

with 25 comments

Web page: www.waroftherosesthegame.com Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: twitter.com Forum: forum.paradoxplaza.com War of the Roses is a new IP that transports players back in time to the battle-ravaged, dynastic civil war era of 15th century England where ownership of the throne of England was brutally fought over between supporters of two rival branches of the Royal House of Plantagenet - the house of Lancaster (the reds) and the house of York (the whites). A team-based multiplayer melee combat experience, War of The Roses sees players and their band of knights going toe-to-toe with their opponents using authentic and visceral weapons of the time period including broad swords, long bows and battle-axes. Built on a stunning graphics engine which vividly portrays the fighting from an up-close-and-personal third-person perspective, War of the Roses features both online multiplayer and a single-player campaign. Players will get the chance to lead their warrior through a rich progression system, gaining upgrades and unlocking new content on their path from filthy peasant to unstoppable armored killing machine. The years of 1455-1485 in England is an extraordinary and underused setting filled with conflict, treachery and bloodshed. In the wake of the "death of chivalry" at Agincourt in 1415 and the introduction of gunpowder, warfare changed; the gloves came off, so to speak. The old and the new clashed on the battlefield while personal vendettas persistently motivated the ...

Lowering Insurance Policy Rates For House And Company Proprietors By Way Of Added Security Options

without comments

One thing that numerous home and business owners fail to check out when establishing safety measures for their properties and corporations is whether or not the specifications being established will in reality work to lessen their insurance costs. Just as many companies reward safe drivers and drivers who own cars with GPS tracking enabled, in addition, they reward home owners that take logical and sensible measures to lower the vulnerability of the homes to invasion as well as other security and safety risks like fire.

This can be one question you need to ask the security specialist that assesses your property or company for basic safety measures and upgrades as he will be able to offer you a 'heads up' when it comes to this sort of details and which insurance providers prize these sorts of upgrades much more greatly. The end result is that the experts maintain this type of information in order to motivate reluctant consumers to carry out the purchase. In all fairness to the experts; the fact remains that much of the costs included in these safety measures measures may be recovered from the discount rates that are applied to the insurance coverage costs.

Another thing that is certainly worth mentioning is that in some instances, the savings translate into sufficient funds to pay for the regular monthly monitoring fees that the safety providers charge. When compared to the insurance policy savings, the assurance that is involved with providing these added safety procedures to your residence or company is worthy of any additional fees in most cases. This is specifically true if ever the moment comes when these things pay off by protecting your family or staff members as these safety methods are designed to do.

Insurance firms are very well conscious that property is not only damaged because of theft but also in several circumstances assets are taken away from homeowners, never to be retrieved. Some possessions are priceless in value, as dollar signs do not begin to touch their importance. Nonetheless, if you take preventive methods to protect your belongings, the majority of insurance agencies will find you a much more suitable risk simply for taking the small step of getting a supervised security company.

Other things you can do in terms of the safety and security of your home or company include having a new roof top that is fire proof, setting up a fire extinguishing system, providing programs on fire safety (to workers), and installing fire barriers in bigger companies that should work to protect some of the building even if the entire building can not be guarded.

Updating the electrical services in your house or business can help you save funds on your insurance plan as it decreases yet another fire threat. Fire is one of the greatest destructive forces that the typical company will experience as far as structural hazards goes and one that's in many instances avoidable by taking specific measures. There is minimal that can really be done to safeguard a company or home from the ravages of flood or tornadoes so there is little hope available for lowering the cost of your insurance premiums by wanting to defend against these types of types of destruction.

In many cases, small methods can net big benefits whenever insurance providers sees the combined total of your endeavours to protect your home or business not just from attack but also the risks that often come up from within. Protecting the structure of your house or office is only a small part of the safety efforts that should be implemented if you take the measures to do just that often help to make a huge impression on big company and definitely will result in savings for you down the road.

Remember always that prevention is the best cure and insurance agencies know this as well as you know it. For this reason, they're willing, in many cases, to reward those who take this information to heart and act upon it. Consult with your insurance company and find out if your new safety actions for your property and small business(e.g gun safes sydney) would really cost much less in the long run than you may have initially thought.

WATCH KNOWING

"Knowing" is an early contender for worst movie of the year, if only because it takes itself so seriously and its ambitions are so high. Watch Knowing, you won't be dissappointed.

Pity, too, because it begins with an intriguing premise.

Nicolas Cage stars as MIT astrophysics professor John Koestler, the widower father of 10-year-old Caleb (Chandler Canterbury). When Caleb and his classmates examine the contents of a time capsule that students at his elementary school buried 50 years earlier, the boy discovers a sealed letter containing row after row of jumbled numbers.

Being a scientist, Dad wonders whether there's a pattern to them, and in a whiskey-infused stupor realizes the message accurately predicts the date, coordinates and number of dead in every major disaster since 1959 - the Oklahoma City bombing, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, you name it. That's sufficiently creepy alone - until John looks closer and finds there are still a few events to come.

He tracks down Diana (Rose Byrne), the grown-up daughter of the little girl who originally scribbled those numbers who's now the mother of a girl about Caleb's age (Lara Robinson), hoping for clues to prevent the ultimate catastrophe that lies ahead.

And here's where things literally go off the rails.

Cage underplays it for about the first half, until he suddenly rejects his stoic visage in favor of eye-bulging screaming and flailing. Similarly, director Alex Proyas ("The Crow," "I, Robot") goes from an eerie, atmospheric mood to an insufferable onslaught, with obviously fake CGI effects and a deafening, bombastic score. An early plane crash has its startling moments, but a New York subway accident later on looks distractingly artificial.

Written by Ryne Pearson, Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, "Knowing" raises some thought-provoking, philosophical questions about randomness vs. determination, only to abandon them for biblical mumbo-jumbo and cheap scares. Byrne gets especially shaky and shrill as the film approaches one of its many climaxes; it's as if she and Cage are in a contest to see who can shriek the loudest.

As the threat of the apocalypse draws closer, the level of ridiculousness gets pumped up to unintentionally hilarious levels. Mysterious black rocks appear everywhere - the sign of something that's never quite clear. Caleb and Diana's daughter, Abby, start hearing the same sorts of whispers that tormented Diana's mother a half-century earlier (also played by Robinson), only they're not freaked out about them. Then a group of odd dudes who look like an albino boy band seem to show up out of nowhere, everywhere, to pester these kids.

And so it's not even remotely terrifying when John screams, "How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?!" - it's just laugh-out-loud funny.

Surely Kirk Cameron, star of so many the-end-is-nigh movies, would know what to do.

Watch Knowing NOW!!
