The Place to Be! Th* Breew 14 Thursday, Feb. 18, 1999 STYLE Zirkle exhibits refine the senses Seniors Katie Frichtel, Deirdre McConnell show vitality through art
CJTEVEJANZEN ^contributing writer For the next two weeks, Zirkle House is displaying the works of photographer Katie Frichtel and painter Deirdre McConnell. Both exhibits include common themes of life and vitality, expressed in strik- ingly different ways. On display in Zirkle's Other Gallery is senior Katie Frichtel's exhibit, titled "She Walks Alone." As the title suggests, the exhibit is a collection of black and white photographs that focus on the feelings and emo- tions encountered in various states of isolation. Frichtel said the idea for her exhibit developed from remarks on some of her earlier works. "People usually commented on how lonely my shots looked," . Frichtel said, "so I just went with those ideas." The photographs in the exhibit, however, show ranges of emotions that over- power the expected loneli- ness. Through poignant STEVE GLASS/conlributing photographer imagery, many of Frichtel's subjects express great Senior Deirdre McConnell's "untitled," is part of her exhibit, "The Quick Slow," now at the Artworks Gallery of the Zirkle House. strength and intimacy.

•Are OF G.vEwrt ki rwe. &J2.5 JMU is getting geared up for the weekend. With a variety of attractions in the 'Burg, there is something to do for everyone. Tonight is the opening night for ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstem Are Dead," a Blue Ridge Theatre Festival studio production written by Tom Stoppard, who co- wrote "Shakespeare in Love," which is nominated for 13 Academy Awards. The reviews of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstem" are pretty impressive: The New York Times stated that the play is "most remarkable. Very ftinny, very brilliant, very crufling!" You can catch the play at the Court Square Theater, located behind Calhoun's, next to the Artful Dodger. John Gawthrop, a performer in tfie new production, is eager for opening night. "The play is 'Hamlet' through the eyes of Rosencrantz and Guildenstem, which are two minor characters from 'Hamlet/" Gawthrop said. Tickets are $8 in advance, and $10 at the door. The play will remain in production during the weekend until Saturday, Feb. 27. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. for next Thursday and Friday, and matinees are offered on Saturday at 2 p.m. Patrons can reserve tickets by calling the Blue Ridge Theater Festival box office at 564-1998. Main Street Bar and Grill will host the Gibb Droll Band tomorrow, Feb. 19. Guests Virginia Coalition will also play with the Gibb Droll Band, and rickets are $8 in advance and $10 the day of the show. On Saturday, Main Street will welcome Draven with guests Earth to Andy. The cover is $5, and both bands have played at the bar before, so they may sound familiar. On Tuesday, Feb. 23, PuddleDuck will play with a guest that is to be announced. The cover is $4, and you must be at least 21, so don't forget your IDs. ^''^''^JL^ The Artful Dodger also offers many opportunities for JMU students. Tomorrow the Artful Dodger expects to be pretty crowded when they welcome the Rodaman Row Quartet, a jazz band. Manager John Gawthrop expects the night to be full of excitement. "Friday will be pretty packed. It's always a good night," Ga wthrop said. Don't forget that Thursday, Feb. 25, will be another Poetry/Prose Open Mic Night The Artful Dodger never charges a cover, and people of all ages are welcome. The Biltmore Grill will also offer some jazz music this week. Every Monday, the JMU Jazz Band plays, and, according to Front-of-the-House-Manager Dave Brissor\, the band is "absolutely wonderful." Mondays also usually draw a good-size crowd, according to Brisson, "About a hundred people are in and out. It's more of a mellow crowd on Mondays." Sundays and Wednesdays are Acoustic Nights at the Biltmore, so more relaxed crowds are also the norm on those days of the week. The Biltmore isn't the only place to enjoy jazz or acoustic sounds. Dave's Tavema will also host jazz and acoustic bands during the week. Every Tuesday is Jazz Night at the Tavema, and owner Dave Miller says that this night is particularly popular. "Tuesdays are usually really crowded," Miller said. GunnerMossblad will play this Tuesday for Jazz Night, which starts at 9 p.m. Don't forget there's a $3 cover on Jazz Nights in addition to a $3 food and beverage minimum.

Shown here are the top five games in the list continued from Monday's Breeze.
5. FIFA '99 (Multi-player Sports Game of the year, Best Sports Audio)
The is the best soccer game ever made on any system. Ever since the Sega Genesis, FIFA has been the best sports franchise year after year. If you own a multi-tap you're in for a treat. If you have an analog controller or two, or three, or four, or even eight, and a big screen television, you'll really be in soccer heaven. FIFA packs more than 250 real teams. The players' motion capturing is absolutely some of the best ever seen in a sports game, from dribbling down the field to goal celebrations. The commentary remains the best of any sports game, calling players by their last name and the game to perfection. Fat Boy Slim helps make the music the best ever in any sports game. That's right, Brian Playstation won't lie: the best commentary, music, animations and multi-player action in a sports game. 4. NBA Live 99 (Sports Game of the Year) The lockout's over. Thank God, there will be a season, albeit shortened. If you don't own NBA Live 99 already, go out and get it, because this is the best Live yet. Most notably are the new animations of the athletes. Crossover dribbles, fake passes, icon passing, ally-oops, jab steps, behind the back dribbles, pump fakes, fade-aways, tip-dunks, spin moves, rejections and intentional fouls. Players are given a breath of life thanks to EA's new facial expression engine - they'll smile, frown, yell, squint, point after they dunk on someone, and whaf d be a basketball game without someone "raising the roof?" Let me tell you how nice this added treat is. For example, say you pick up a 3rd foul in the first quarter, the player will grab the ball and cradle it in frustration. Little things like this totally immerse you in the game. EA Sports has also tweaked the artificial intelligence to get the game playing as realistically as possible - players will react to double-teams a lot more effectively in NBA Live 99. And the artificial intelligence, finally provides a challenge. This game is energetic and fun to watch. Yet another quality sports title from EA Sports. 3. Tekken 3 (Fighting Game of the Year) In the fighting realm of gaming, Namco's Tekken 3 stands alone. Nothing comes close. Not only is Tekken 3 as close as you can get to arcade perfect, the extra features included make it the most well-rounded fighter on the market. Tekken 3's fighting system is arcade-perfect, and still the best on the Playstation. The characters are well-balanced and they spar frighteningly realistically. But fighting just isn't enough these days. Ending Full Motion Videos, extra battle modes, quest-style Role Playing Games are oozing into the genre. Force mode, Survival, Time Attack, Practice and Ball mode are nice extras that shouldn't be overlooked. Also, it is the most popular female game to my knowledge. 2. Gran Turismo (Racing Game of the Year) You know, I don't own a car, but I own Gran Turismo, the next best thing. It is the best racing game ever, and I dare someone to argue. The game is played in two different ways: Arcade mode and Gran Turismo (Simulation) Mode. The arcade mode lets you race exhibitions mat which you can choose a fixed number of cars and tracks. The real deal is in Gran Turismo mode, though, the real racing simula- tion. You start out with a set amount of cash — just enough for your first used car. But before you can do anything, you have to earn the right to race by passing license tests. After you pass say, the B license, you can race in the B class events. The higher the events, the more cash you can get to upgrade your car. In addition to a mad amount of cash, if you take first place in an event, you also win a special car. And that's basically the whole idea: to race, to win cars, upgrade new and used cars, and to get rich. The physics in Gran Turismo are fine-tuned to simulate those of the real world, and they're the best yet. Your car bounces through gravel, shakes violently at high speeds, flies through dips and mounds, and even gets on two wheels on sharp turns. What Gran Turismo has that no other racer has (aside from its awesome game play) are its mind-boggling replays — it's like watching a movie! Trust me. If you have an analog controller and you don't have this game, racing fan or not, you should be ashamed of yourself. With more than 150 cars, 10 manufacturers, and the ability to save your cars to a memory and race mem against a friend, makes this game a must buy. 1. Metal Gear Solid (Game of the Year, Action/Adventure Game of the Year, Best Graphics, Best Audio) Metal Gear Solid - if someone says these words 20 years from now, will you forget the experience you had when you first popped this in your Playstation? Of course nor! If you haven't played this game yet - don't read one rest of this article. Simply walk out of class, to your car, or catch the next bus, head over to the mall, go to your favorite game store and charge it to the credit card. Or better yet, tell you're parents you need money for another book on "Tactical Espionage." If there ever was a game where you don't have to ask, "Is this game any good?" this is it. This game has been plastered all over magazine covers; I'm talking even months before its arrival. All your friends are ranting about how good this game is, aren't they? Usually their advice is questionable, but not in this case. Metal Gear Solid was the most hotly-anticipated Playstation game in the console's three-year existence. More than two years in die making, Metal Gear's emphasis is placed on espionage and covert actions, rather than an all-out bloodfest. Players assume the role of Solid Snake, returning hero from the previous Metal Gear episodes. A Special Forces oper- ative, he is called back to duty for the purpose of infiltrating the heavily-guarded Alaskan stronghold of his ex-comrades, alone and unarmed. Thaf s how the game begins; realistic. Snake is without weaponry, outfitted only with binoculars and a contraband pack of cigarettes. Survival and progress early on in the game is entirely dependent on stealthily killing the base's guards, bare-handed. Snake will come upon plenty of weapons later in his mission, however, but the emphasis on keeping his presence within the immense com- pound secret (or as secret as possible, to keep things realistically playable) remains of utmost importance. As for Snake's enemies, they aren't merely limited to standard guards. Snake must contend with the six main members of a terrorist group at various points during his mission. Each of them has his or her own specialty (sniping, sharp-shooting, sheer strength). Some take Snake on within the base confines while at least one prefers to attack via helicopter. I'll keep the rest secret. You'll be amazed at how many times you'll say "OH S*&#!" playing this game. It is truly an innovation, truly a classic. Hey Style Writers!
