Specific warnings and cautions will be found throughout this manual where they apply. We recommend that you read this page before preparing your game for play. WEIGHT. This game cabinet weights GOOLbs crated. The control panel weighs 80Lbs crated, CONTROL PANEL WIDTH. The control panel is shipped separate from the game cabinet and must be installed when the game is received. In order to fit the game cabinet through a standard (3 foot wide) door, the control panel must be removed. (See page I-6, Servicing the Control Panel.) MIRROR. This game cabinet contains a front-silvered mirror and a horizontal monitor. AC POWER CONNECTION. Before connecting the game to the AC power source, verify the “line voltage selection chart” jumper wires are installed correctly for the line voltage in your area. For details refer to Section 3. PROPERLY GROUND THE GAME. To avoid electrical shocks, do not plug in the game until it has been inspected and properly grounded. MIDWAY games should only be plugged into a grounded 3- wire outlet. Shocks may result if the control panel is not properly grounded! After servicing any parts on the panel, assure that the ground wires are secure. Only then should you lock up the game. DISCONNECT POWER DURING REPAIRS. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the game from the AC power source before removing or repairing any part of the game. USE THE PROPER FUSE. To avoid electrical shock, use the replacement fuse which is specified in the parts list for this game. The replacement fuse must match the original fuse in fuse type, voltage rating, and current rating. MONITOR PRECAUTIONS. When removing or repairing the monitor, extra precautions must be taken to avoid electrical shock because high voltages may exist within the monitor circuitry and cathode ray tube (CRT) even after power has been disconnected. Do not touch internal parts of the monitor with you hands or metal objects! Always discharge the CRT by the following method: Attach one end of a large, well-insulated, 20kV jumper to ground. Momentarily touch the free end of the grounded jumper to the anode by sliding it under the anode cap. Wait two minutes and discharge the anode again. TRANSFORMER. This video game does not provide an isolation transformer. HANDLE FLUORESCENT TUBE AND CRT WITH CARE. If you drop a fluorescent tube or CRT and it breaks, it will implode! Shattered glass can fly eight feet or more from the implosion. ATTENTION ! PROPERLYATACH ALL CONNECTORS. Be sure that the connectors on each printedcircuit board (PCB) are properly connected. If they do not slip on e&/H do not force them. A reversed connector may damage your game and void the warranty A// connectors are keyed to fit specific pins on each board.

AD: It’s November 9th 2016, 10AM. So what is your current job title? JT: I am president and co-founder of Robomodo, a video game development house in Chicago. AD: Alright. So I know earlier you got into arcades, do you still spend time in arcades? JT: Believe it or not, yeah. The arcades that I’m at nowadays mostly are these family fun center type places, because I have kids, so you’ve got these Dave & Buster's type places. So I guess they’re called arcades, but recently I have been hanging out more at some of these barcades popping up lately, they’re basically craft beer and classic arcade machines. Then there’s an arcade out in Brookfield called the Galloping Ghost Arcade, and I’ve been there a lot because I’ve been shooting my documentary there. I believe it’s actually the largest arcade in the world, I think they have over 400 arcade machines there.

  • Rock Music in Video Games
    These three very different video games illustrate some of the many ways rock music has been incorporated into ROCK MUSIC recent video games. In the early days of video games, technological limitations prevented the use of prerecorded music: games simply didn’t have the necessary memory IN VIDEO space to store it, and consoles or computers didn’t have the hardware capabilities to play it back. But now, in the era of DVD and Blu-​­Ray discs, massive hard drives, and GAMES cloud computing, the amount and sound quality of game music is virtually unlimited. Even setting aside the many music-​­based games, such as the Rock Band, Guitar Hero, by William Gibbons and Dance Dance Revolution craze of the 2000s and early 2010s (discussed by Mark Katz in his “Backstage Pass”), we must acknowledge that rock has become an integral Consider these three moments from video games: (1) While part of the soundtracks to video games in a wide variety taking my “borrowed” car for a spin in Grand Theft Auto V of genres. (2013), I spend some time searching for the right in- ​­game There are many reasons game designers and audio radio station. Elton John’s “Friday Night’s Alright for Fight- specialists might choose to include either well-​­known or ing” (1973) doesn’t seem quite right, and I switch through newly written rock music in their products. Most obvious Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin’” (1979) and Rhianna’s “Only are the aesthetic benefits, or how music can enhance Girl (in the World)” (2010) before finally settling on Stevie players’ experiences by creating a particular emotional Wonder’s “Skeletons” (1987).

  • TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2
    TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2 1. The audio of the 1995 game Quest for Fame is based on works by these people. Members of the New Order Nation, including Helga, kidnap these people in a game whose projectiles include compact discs. These people are unlocked as playable characters as part of the Nipmuc High School level, which also includes a cover of Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes.” That game, which includes Tom Hamilton and all other people of this type, is the first dedicated spin-off of the Guitar Hero series. The rail shooter Revolution X stars, for 10 points, what group of musicians that includes Joe Perry and Steven Tyler? ANSWER: the members of Aerosmith 2. One activity in this game ideally requires waiting for a certain number on-screen to reach 1,484 and ignoring the player character entirely. Completing one task in this game causes a mole to appear if it’s done on the last possible attempt. A special controller for playing this game on the Atari 2600 has no joystick and just three buttons, which echoes its arcade control scheme. One object in this game can be deliberately thrown off the screen, which will kill a bird. Several activities in this game have between 42 and 45 degrees as optimal launch angles. For 10 points, name this Konami game that begins with a button-mashing 100-yard-dash. ANSWER: Track & Field 3. A trilogy of light-gun shooters whose titles start with this word center on “Rage” and “Smarty,” a pair of police officers.

Rosner Committee Members, Marian Eide Claudia Nelson Mardelle Shepley Head of Department, M. Jimmie Killingsworth December 2009 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT The Crisis of Masculine Space: The End of the Gentlemen’s Club in British Modern Fiction. (December 2009) Leslie Gautreaux Edwards, B.A.; M.A., University of Louisiana Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Victoria Rosner At the beginning of the twentieth century, men occupied a contested and transitional space in British society. The effects of the women’s movement, the Great War, and industrialization changed their life at home, at work, and at their places of recreation. This dissertation examines how the British male writers E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence, and George Orwell depict this “crisis of masculinity” and its effect on the male population. I argue that one of the ways the writers convey their understanding of the changing gender codes and the ways in which men were attempting to manage the adjustments to their daily lives is through the description and purpose that they attach to masculine spaces.

  • Praise for Catastrophism
    Praise for Catastrophism “Here you have it, a forceful rejection of that gleeful, adolescent paranoia that masquerades as hardcore realism. As the essays in this excellent book show, ‘catastrophism’ is a wish expressed as a fear, a masochistic cop-out that postures as bravery. Welcoming the end of the world as the catalyst of political deliverance is one of the most irresponsible positions on ofer. This book is a superb antidote to the unproductive politics of fear.” —Christian Parenti, author of Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence “Catastrophism comes at the right moment: the year of The End proclaimed across the political spectrum from deep ecologists to the Mayan Calendarists. Instead of concentrating on the merits of the claims of the various apocalypticians, James Davis, Sasha Lilley, David McNally, and Eddie Yuen examine the political func- tion of these claims and fnd them to be deeply reactionary. This is a controversial book that challenges many of the unexamined assumptions on the left (as well as on the right). It is a warning not to abandon everyday anticapitalist politics for a politics of absolute fear that inevitably leads to inaction.” —Silvia Federici, author of Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Strugle “Bravo! This is the book that has been sorely needed for so long to reveal the dead end that a politics founded on catastrophic predictions must lead to in terms of either preventing them or actually changing the world. Essential reading for all those on the left who are concerned with the question of strategy today.” —Leo Panitch, coauthor of The Making of Global Capitalism and In and Out of Crisis “At last, and not before time, a full-spectrum guidebook to cata - strophism.
