Shockwave.Com Introduces New Premium Online Gaming Service - Club Shockwave Shockwave.com Introduces New Premium Online Gaming Service - Club Shockwave New Service Provides Exclusive Access to Hundreds of Online Games, Puzzles and Cash Prizes SAN FRANCISCO, March 24 -- Shockwave.com, a unit of the Nickelodeon Kids and Family Games Group, today launches Club Shockwave -- an all-new premium online gaming service for adults. The new subscription-based service will offer members access to hundreds of exclusive skill games and puzzles and the chance to win cash prizes and to accumulate rewards for time spent online. Club Shockwave is available to the public beginning today for as little as $29.95 per year -- less than $2.50 per month. "There has been explosive growth in online casual gaming in the past couple of years and people want to connect and be rewarded for the time they spend playing games," said Dave Williams, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nickelodeon Kids and Family Games Group. "Club Shockwave provides extremely high production value games as well as real- world and virtual prizes, and allows users to share their experiences with friends, family and other casual game enthusiasts." Club Shockwave members have unfettered access to online (browser-based) games of skill in a full range of categories including: classic board games, as well as puzzle, word, and strategy games. The service initially launches with 12 exclusive skill games and hundreds of exclusive puzzles. Users have the chance to win daily cash prizes up to $4,999, and one could win an annual grand prize of $25,000*. Additionally, the site offers extensive community features, and other rewards -- including tokens and trophies. Club Shockwave complements Shockwave UNLIMITED, which focuses on offering members access to premium downloadable games. All Shockwave UNLIMITED members will automatically have access to all Club Shockwave games of skill and features. The launch of Club Shockwave coincides with a new stylized look for Shockwave.com™, the world's original casual online gaming site, which enlivens the popular gaming destination for its more than 14 million monthly visitors (source: Omniture SiteCatalyst 2008). Featuring a refreshed look, Shockwave.com is now more personalized and social -- with ratings and reviews, membership and personal profiles. "comScore says that today, 86 million Americans visit online gaming sites compared to 67 million in December 2007," added Williams. "The Club Shockwave launch, combined with the overall Shockwave.com redesign, is a powerful one-two punch that allows us to tap into this growing audience of gamers." Key Club Shockwave Features Include: -- Hundreds of Games: More than 400 online games, including a dozen Club-exclusive token-generating games and hundreds of puzzles, are available to Club Shockwave members. Categories include: new twists on classic board games, as well as puzzle, word, and strategy games. Progression, replay-ability, and accomplishments are integral to the Club Shockwave experience and are built into each game. -- Large Cash Prizes: Games have a chance to win up to $4,999 in daily prizes and an annual $25,000 cash jackpot. -- Awards and Achievements: Club Shockwave rewards members just for playing. Tokens are earned every time a member plays Club Shockwave games and can be exchanged for sweepstakes entries and instant-win scratcher games. Accomplishments within each game will also be rewarded with one of hundreds of different collectible virtual trophies, stored in a personal trophy case. The progressive nature of the Club Shockwave games offers users the chance to grow their skills and earn more rewards over time. New games and challenges will be introduced to Club Shockwave on an ongoing basis. -- Community Features: Personal member profiles, Shockwave Game Face (talking, animated avatars), chat features, friend lists, favorite games, game reviews, and high scores are among the features that connect each Club Shockwave member to the broader Shockwave community. Shockwave.com, the original casual gaming destination, is the world's leading destination for online games, and serves the best in free interactive entertainment since 1998. Shockwave has a library of more than 400 games including action-packed arcade-style games, jigsaws and puzzle games, multiplayer games, downloadable games and more.

  • IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version
    IGDA Online Games White Paper Full Version Presented at the Game Developers Conference 2002 Created by the IGDA Online Games Committee Alex Jarett, President, Broadband Entertainment Group, Chairman Jon Estanislao, Manager, Media & Entertainment Strategy, Accenture, Vice-Chairman FOREWORD With the rising use of the Internet, the commercial success of certain massively multiplayer games (e.g., Asheron’s Call, EverQuest, and Ultima Online), the ubiquitous availability of parlor and arcade games on “free” game sites, the widespread use of matching services for multiplayer games, and the constant positioning by the console makers for future online play, it is apparent that online games are here to stay and there is a long term opportunity for the industry. What is not so obvious is how the independent developer can take advantage of this opportunity. For the two years prior to starting this project, I had the opportunity to host several roundtables at the GDC discussing the opportunities and future of online games. While the excitement was there, it was hard not to notice an obvious trend. It seemed like four out of five independent developers I met were working on the next great “massively multiplayer” game that they hoped to sell to some lucky publisher. I couldn’t help but see the problem with this trend. I knew from talking with folks that these games cost a LOT of money to make, and the reality is that only a few publishers and developers will work on these projects. So where was the opportunity for the rest of the developers? As I spoke to people at the roundtables, it became apparent that there was a void of baseline information in this segment.

  • Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954
    Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954 Elizabeth Gritter A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall W. Fitzhugh Brundage William R. Ferris Genna Rae McNeil Larry J. Griffin Copyright 2010 Elizabeth Gritter ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract ELIZABETH GRITTER: Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow: Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) Because the vast majority of black southerners were disenfranchised, most historians have ignored those who engaged in formal political activities from the late nineteenth century through the 1950s. This study is the first to focus on their efforts during this time. In contrast to narratives of the Jim Crow era that portray southern blacks as having little influence on electoral and party politics, this dissertation reveals that they had a significant impact. Using Memphis as a case study, it explores how black men and women maneuvered for political access and negotiated with white elites, especially with machine boss Edward H. Crump. It focuses in particular on Robert R. Church, Jr., who interacted with Crump, mobilized black Memphians, and emerged as the country’s most prominent black Republican in the 1920s. Church and other black Republicans carved out a space for themselves in party politics and opened up doors for blacks in the process. This study argues that formal black political mobilization constituted a major prong of the black freedom struggle during the Jim Crow era in the South.

These companies introduced various forms of experimentation they associated with the advantages of digital technologies, but they also maintained continuity with television’s business practices. This dialectic between old and new, continuity and change, insiders and outsiders, reflected the instability of television as a concept and the promise of the web as an alternative.
