A predsa Redakcia aj motyka vie vystreliť. Nielen júlu bude dominovať StarCraft II, august sa zase garantovane bude niesť v mafiánskom štýle Peter Dragula (Saver) L Branislav Kohút (uni) Na pokračovanie prvého menovaného sme čakali 12 rokov, na ten druhý Jaroslav Otčenáš (Je2ry) „len“ osem. Zaujímavé je, že oba majú premiéru naplánovanú na 27. deň v danom mesiaci. Nech to už znamená čokoľvek, o úspech StarCraftu II sa Vladimír Pribila (Fendi) nik báť nemusí, najrýchlejšie predávaná RTS všetkých čias, ako bola ozna- Andrej Hankes (Andrei) čená po prvých 48 hodinách na trhu, má o budúcnosť postarané. Veď ide Matúš Štrba (matus_ace) o začiatok plánovanej trilógie a Blizzard je jednoducho Blizzard. Michal Korec O Mafiu II sa však obávam. Nechcem byť poslom zlých správ, mám strach z reakcií komunity. Očakávania sú tak prestrelené a tak prehnané, že keby Užívatelia v čísle sa odmerali Hypemetrom, tak by nestačila stupnica. 2K Czech si ustrážilo mnohé tajomstvá, no o hre sa vie takmer všetko a kto chcel, vie ešte viac.

  • Makers of League of Legends, Halo Video Games Create Designs For
    Makers of League of Legends, Halo Video Games Create Designs for Limbitless Solutions’ Arms Future recipients of 3D-printed prosthetic arms from UCF’s Limbitless Solutions will have new designs to choose from beginning in 2019, thanks to the makers of video games League of Legends and Halo. Riot Games, maker of League of Legends, and 343 Industries, maker of Halo and owned by Microsoft Studios, collaborated with Limbitless Solutions to create seven new prosthetic-arm designs inspired by their games. League of Legends is an online game that pits two teams of characters with unique designs, playstyles and capabilities against each other on various battlefields, and Halo is a first-person shooter game that centers on an interstellar war between humanity and aliens. Designs from League of Legends include five inspired by their Odyssey Jinx, Star Guardian, Shurima, Illaoi and Maokai characters and worlds, and two from Halo, inspired by different armor suits of Master Chief. The designs are in the form of interchangeable sleeves that attach to the prosthetic device via magnets to allow the children to swap out for different designs as they please. “It is so exciting to be able to add these new designs to the catalog for children to customize their arms,” said Albert Manero, CEO and co-founder of Limbitless Solutions. “It will unlock new expression and confidence for children, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with these companies’ design teams.” The collaboration with Riot spawned from an employee’s desire to support Limbitless and UCF, his alma mater.

    HOW TO PLAY WITH MAPS by Ross Thorn Department of Geography, UW-Madison A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geographic Information Science and Cartography) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2018 i Acknowledgments I have so many people to thank for helping me through the process of creating this thesis and my personal development throughout my time at UW-Madison. First, I would like to thank my advisor Rob Roth for supporting this seemingly crazy project and working with me despite his limited knowledge about games released after 1998. Your words of encouragement and excitement for this project were invaluable to keep this project moving. I also want to thank my ‘second advisor’ Ian Muehlenhaus for not only offering expert guidance in cartography, but also your addictive passion for games and their connection to maps. You provided endless inspiration and this research would not have been possible without your support and enthusiasm. I would like to thank Leanne Abraham and Alicia Iverson for reveling and commiserating with me through the ups and downs of grad school. You both are incredibly inspirational to me and I look forward to seeing the amazing things that you will undoubtedly accomplish in life. I would also like to thank Meghan Kelly, Nick Lally, Daniel Huffman, and Tanya Buckingham for creating a supportive and fun atmosphere in the Cartography Lab. I could not have succeeded without your encouragement and reminder that we all deserve to be here even if we feel inadequate. You made my academic experience unforgettable and I love you all.
