  • The Phantom of the Opera: an Annotated Bibliography
    Belphégor Kathryn Yelinek Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania The Phantom of the Opera: An Annotated Bibliography Introduction The year 2010 marks a centennial year for The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. First serialized in the French newspaper Le Gaulois from September 1909- January 1910, it was subsequently published in France as a complete novel in February 1910 (Casta-Husson 695). The work received an unenthusiastic critical response and would probably have become completely unknown if not for the 1925 silent movie starring Lon Chaney (Hall 10-21). A few movie remakes after that kept the story in the public consciousness until the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the 1980s moved the Phantom front and center. Yet despite the story’s continued remakes and popular success, critical analysis has been slow to follow. The first listing for Gaston Leroux in the MLA International Bibliography did not occur until 1961; this was over thirty years after his death in 1927 (Hall 11). The first entry that focused on The Phantom of the Opera was not until 1991. As may be anticipated, critical interest in the story increased dramatically following the success of the Lloyd Webber musical. However, that interest remains heavily focused on the original novel and the 1925 movie. In spite of its popularity, the Lloyd Webber musical remains underrepresented in the critical commentary. Discussion of additional versions of the Phantom story, including other popular movie, theatrical, and literary adaptations, also remains underrepresented. The following bibliography offers a list of scholarly resources about the original Leroux novel and its successors.

The computer game was a smashing success and has been a gaming classic ever since. The most prominent designer of the game, Sid Meier, was also the programmer. The other chief designer was Bruce Shelley; but more than a score of other people helped with the game. A complete list of the game credits is given in [10].

The term ``4X'' is explained by [1] as standing for the phrase ``eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate'' -- these four verbs provide a sketchy overview of the game. The player begins the game viewing a map with control over one or more `settler' units (a unit is a small figure which can be moved around the world map representing a specialized group of people).

  • A Világ Legbefolyásosabb Emberei : Ahogy Az Anno a PC Guruban
    Hanula Zsolt: A világ legbefolyásosabb emberei . ahogy az anno a PC Guruban megjelent (majdnem) ELŐSZÓ Az egész valamikor 2002-ben kezdődött, 15 éve, belegondolni is rossz, milyen régen. Ültünk valahol Sashegyi “Sasa” Zsolttal, és megváltottuk a világot; ő akkor szerkesztő volt a PC Gurunál, én külsős cikkíró, a világmegváltás pedig abból állt, hogy kitaláljuk, hogyan legyen jobb az újság. Ehhez a magyar médiában akkor és azóta is előszeretettel használt módszert használtuk: megnéztük, mit csinálnak éppen tőlünk nyugatabbra, és megpróbáltuk lemásolni, a magyar viszonyokra igazítva. Éppen akkoriban volt egy nagy anyag a Gamespyon (a Gamespy akkor a legnagyobb gémer portálok közé tartozott, aztán beolvadt az IGN-be), az volt a címe, Most Influental People in Gaming, vagy valami hasonló, egy miniportré-gyűjtemény volt játékfejlesztő sztárokról. Ezt megcsinálhatnánk mi is, mondta Sasa; bízd csak ide, mondtam én. Legyen inkább sorozat, havi egy oldal, úgy lesz hely rendesen bemutatni a fickókat, mondtam egy hét múlva. Még egy hét múlva leadtam az első epizódot, alig fért bele kettőbe. Én az Arcképcsarnok címet adtam neki, máig nem tudom, miért ragadt rajta végül a tükörfordított, és munkacímnek használt Legbefolyásosabb. Nem is nagyon stimmelt, mert a híres játékfejlesztők sztorijai általában pont arról szóltak, hogyan próbáltak boldogulni és kreatívak maradni a befolyásos kiadóvezérek és pénzemberek uralta, egyre nagyobbra növő videojáték-bizniszben. A rovat majdnem öt évet élt a PC Guru oldalain, én szerettem írni, az olvasók szerették olvasni. Akkoriban még alig volt Wikipédia, közösségi média egyáltalán nem, szóval a háttérkutatás általában abból állt, hogy az aktuális havi célszemély összes valaha megjelent és elérhető interjúját átnyálaztam kisebb-nagyobb sztorik után, amikkel a hivatalos életrajzot ki lehet színezni.
