New technology abounds, created during the rush to fight the Hot Earth Crisis of 2039. But the NanoMirror Project, finally launched 2047, either failed or succeeded too well, depending on your outlook. It steadily cooled the Earth, first to comfortable pre- 1980 temperatures, through uncomfortably chilly weather, to the current Cold Earth Crisis, first named in 2131. We are in the second Technological Gold Rush, looking for a way to warm the planet, or leave it behind entirely. You are a member of the 4 man replacement Crew for the World Exit Research Station, when you’ll be working on one of the many research projects taking humanity to the stars.

Page 3 of 36 TABLE SPECIFICS Notice: This Guide is based off of the Zen Pinball 2 (PS4/PS3/Vita) version of the Table on default controls. Some of the controls will be different on the other versions (Pinball FX 2, etc...), but everything else in the Guide remains the same. INTRODUCTION Zen Studios has teamed up with Fox to give us an Alien vs. Predator Pinball Table. The Table was released within a pack titled “Aliens vs. Pinball” which featured 3 Pinball Tables based on Aliens Cinematic Universe. Alien vs. Predator Pinball sees you play through various Modes which see you play out key scenes in the blockbuster movie. The Table incorporates the art style of the movie, and various audio works from the movie itself. I hope my Guide will help you understand the Table better.

  • Aliens, Predators and Global Issues: the Evolution of a Narrative Formula
    CULTURA , LENGUAJE Y REPRESENTACIÓN / CULTURE , LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION ˙ ISSN 1697-7750 · VOL . VIII \ 2010, pp. 43-55 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I Aliens, Predators and Global Issues: The Evolution of a Narrative Formula ZELMA CATALAN SOFIA UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT : The article tackles the genre of science fiction in film by focusing on the Alien and Predator series and their crossover. By resorting to “the fictional worlds” theory (Dolezel, 1998), the relationship between the fictional and the real is examined so as to show how these films refract political issues in various symbolic ways, with special reference to the ideological construct of “global threat”. Keywords: film, science fiction, narrative, allegory, otherness, fictional worlds. RESUMEN : en este artículo se aborda el género de la ciencia ficción en el cine mediante el análisis de las películas de la serie Alien y Predator y su combinación. Utilizando la teoría de “los mundos ficcionales” (Dolezel, 1999), se examina la relación entre los planos ficcional y real para mostrar cómo estas películas reflejan cuestiones políticas de diversas formas simbólicas, con especial referencia a la construccción ideológica de la “amenaza global”. Palabras clave: film, ciencia ficción, narrativa, alegoría, alteridad, mundos fic- cionales In 2004 20th Century Fox released Alien vs. Predator, directed by Paul Anderson and starring Sanaa Latham, Lance Henriksen, Raoul Bova and Ewen Bremmer. The film combined and continued two highly successful film series: those of the 1979 Alien and its three successors Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992) and Alien Resurrection (1997), and of the two Predator movies, from 1987 and 1990 respectively.

  • Project Video Game Due: 3 Feb 2009
    CS180h Scheme Blaheta Project Video Game Due: 3 Feb 2009 1 Overview For this project, you'll implement a video game of your choice|one of the three I've pre-approved and described below, or a different one that you can get me to approve (details in section 2.4). It'll be a real system with a real interface; you'll set up your Scheme file so that once it's loaded into DrScheme, clicking \Run" will open the game window and start the game running and interacting with the keyboard. Impress me! 2 The games 2.1 Space Invaders The setup: the player is a defender at the bottom of the screen, and can move back and forth and shoot lasers upward. A phalanx of space invaders march mercilessly towards you, shooting at you, and you have to dodge their lasers (possibly hiding behind your shields) and shoot them before they land or kill you. Details: The player is moved with the left and right arrow keys, and the spacebar fires a shot. Each laser shot ascends straight up the screen from wherever the defender was when it shot it, and the defender can't fire again until the shot either leaves the screen or hits an alien. The aliens are ar- ranged in a grid, initially 11 wide and 5 high; the whole phalanx of aliens moves as a unit, continuing to the left until the leftmost remaining alien is at the left edge of the screen, then descending by the height of one alien and moving en masse to the right.

  • Invasive Alien Species: a Growing but Neglected Threat?
    Emerging issues | Invasive alien species: a growing but neglected threat? 20 Invasive alien species: a growing but neglected threat? Sarah Brunel, Eladio Fernández-Galiano, Piero Genovesi, Vernon H. Heywood, Christoph Kueffer and David M. Richardson Biological invasions are one of the five major causes of biodiversity loss as global human travel and trade have moved, and continue to move, thousands of species between and across continents. Some species of alien origin have a high probability of unrestrained growth which can ultimately lead to environmental damage. An alien species — animal, plant or microorganism — is one that has been introduced, as a result of human activity, either accidentally or deliberately, to an area it could not have reached on its own. A common definition of the term 'invasive' focuses on its (negative) impact, while other definitions consider only rate of spread and exclude considerations of impact. Despite the growing amount of legislation being adopted at the global scale, biological invasions continue to grow at a rapid rate, with no indication yet of any saturation effect. Decision-making in this area is very challenging. The overall complexity of the problem, its interdisciplinarity, the scientific uncertainties and the large number of stakeholders that need to be informed and involved, together demand governance actions that are difficult to see emerging at the regional scale (as in the EU), let alone globally. It is widely agreed that preventing biological invasions or tackling them at a very early stage is the most efficient and cost-effective approach. Harmless species can be confused with harmful invasive species, however, leading to a waste of resources.
