    Marmalade, Jute, and Video Games: The story of how Dundee, Scotland became the home of a thriving video game development community John Fu March 1, 2000 History 274B Prof. Thomas Hughes 2 Video Games…In Scotland? Japan and the United States are sometimes thought to be the sole creators of the world’s video games. This belief may stem from the fact that the most famous video game console and arcade game manufacturers (such as Atari, Midway, Namco, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Capcom) are located in Japan and the US. And with few exceptions, the best-known, most heavily merchandized video game characters (for example, Mario of Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog of the game of the same name) are of American or Japanese origin. Over the past decade, however, many best-selling video games have come from Great Britain. English and Scottish developers have been responsible for such hits as Populous, Syndicate, Lemmings, Goldeneye, and Tomb Raider. Lara Croft, the main character in the Tomb Raider series of adventure games, has become a worldwide star, and Tomb Raider is currently set to be made into a motion picture. Nonetheless, with few characters as recognizable as Mario or Sonic and the absence of a major game console manufacturer, it is remarkable that game development has flourished in specific communities within Great Britain, namely Guildford (near London), northwest England (Liverpool/Birkenhead) and Scotland. Guildford is the home of Bullfrog, a development studio that has created numerous hit games such as Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper, and of a number of companies founded by ex-Bullfrog employees.

Teaching Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the ClasssroomFor William Ayers, noted educator and activist, "the allure of teaching, that ineffable magic drawing me back to the classroom again and again, issues from an ideal that lies directly at its heart: Teaching, at its best, is an enterprise that helps human beings reach the full measure of their humanity. In the section on the Ear the physiologic tests of hearing are given considerable prominence, as the author believes them to be of great value in the diagnosis of the lesions of the Middle Ear and Labyrinth. Two of the fourteen essays, plus an extensive introduction that sets the papers in context and makes explicit some of the essays' common threads, are published here for the first time. The New Marine AquariumWhat makes you purr. Alongside the expected account of architects, dates and styles, it reveals the human history of the buildings and statues: the scandals, the tribulations, the joys and achievements, the humanity, indeed, of the New Yorkers who lived within these walls. Every technique has a proven track record with students of diverse ages, languages, abilities, and socioeconomic status and teachers of every grade level will find strategies for any content area to apply or adapt to individual classroom needs.

  • The End Game How Top Developers Sold Their Studios
    The End Game How Top Developers Sold Their Studios In November 2002 Angel Studios was purchased by Take Two for $28 million dollars in cash and 235,000 shares of stock. A month earlier Activision purchased Luxoflux for $9 million dollars and 110,000 shares of stock. That same year Infogrames (now Atari) purchased Shiny for a surprising $47 million dollars, and who can forget Microsoft’s purchase of Rare for a whopping $375 million? And the list goes on: Massive Entertainement, Rainbow Studios, Barking Dog, Black Box, Shaba Games, Gray Matter, Treyarch, Outrage, Volition, Digital Anvil, Westwood Studios, and more. All have been purchased by a major publisher and experienced the thrill of the end game. For many developers, selling their studio is the final prize for a race well run. But what do you really know about how a deal goes down and whether or not you are a good prospect? What is it that will make your studio attractive? How will your company be valued? And perhaps most importantly, what can you do to prepare? The information presented in this lecture is based on interviews with key executives from both sides of an acquisition transaction: independent game studios who have been purchased and the publishers who purchased them. Interviews were also conducted with attorneys and investment firms that deal in mergers and acquisitions within the video game and software industries. And finally, research was conducted to quantify specific transactions and acquisition details. DISCLAIMER Mergers and acquisitions are complex business relationships that require the help of legal and accounting professionals.

  • Re-Calibrating Steampunk London: Heterotopia and Spatial Imaginaries in Assassins Creed: Syndicate and the Order 1886
    humanities Article Re-Calibrating Steampunk London: Heterotopia and Spatial Imaginaries in Assassins Creed: Syndicate and The Order 1886 Helena Esser Department of English, Theatre, and Creative Writing, Birkbeck, University of London, London WC1E 7HX, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Video games have become important but understudied narrative media, which link into as well as perpetuate popular forms of cultural memory. They evoke and mediate space (or the illusion thereof) in unique ways, literally putting into play Doreen Massey’s theory of space as being produced through a multiplicity of trajectories. I examine how Assassins Creed: Syndicate and The Order 1886 (both 2015) configure a neo-Victorian London as a simulated, spatio-temporal imaginary in which urban texture becomes a readable storytelling device in and of itself, and interrogate how their neo-Victorian heterotopias are mediated through a spatial experience. Both games conjure up imaginaries of steampunk London as a counter-site sourced from and commenting on the Victorian city of memory. Through retro-speculation, they re-calibrate neo-Victorian London as a playground offering alternative forms of agency and adventure or as cyberpunk-infused hyper-city. In so doing, they invite the player to re-evaluate, through their spatial experience in such a heterotopic steampunk London, shared imaginaries of ‘the city’ and ‘the Victorian’. Keywords: Assassin’s Creed; cyberpunk; heterotopia; steampunk; The Order 1886; urban imaginaries; Victorian London; video games Citation: Esser, Helena. 2021. 1. Introduction Re-Calibrating Steampunk London: Heterotopia and Spatial Imaginaries Very soon the face of London begins to convulse into a Freemason’s wetdream of in Assassins Creed: Syndicate and The the City as a monologue of temples: parks and homes are demolished to make Order 1886.

As the title of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate implies, the game consists in assassinating enemies. What has made this series of games popular is its impressive rendition of the geographical and historical context in which they take place. The Syndicate episode is set in London at the end of the 19th century — in 1868, to be precise.
