Why are so many people missing out on the vast benefits that video games have to offer? For at least a decade many studies have been completed and articles written showing a variety of benefits from gaming. However, parents, teachers and others that should be reading them, only see the articles about violence. Jennifer Comet Wagner decided it was time to get this information in the public eye and wrote the new ebook, The Gamer Generation: Reaping the Benefits of Video Games.

Wouldn’t it be great if parents learned to game with their kids and stopped worrying about video games? Would students benefit if teachers and school administrators understood the vast potential of gaming in education? Are all doctors and healthcare workers aware of the many advances of video games in healthcare?

“Finally, the voice of reason! I love Jennifer Comet Wagner’s approach to this controversial topic. Wagner gives amazing insight for parents and adults who want to not only understand how gaming is affecting this generation but also how to embrace it.” –Vanessa Van Petten, Author of “Do I Get My Allowance Before or After I’m Grounded?” and RadicalParenting.com.

?I wrote The Gamer Generation to summarize the research, studies, and articles on the positive effects of video games and to offer resources for those who want to pursue the topic further. Readers will learn that video games not only have many benefits for kids, but for people of any age and for society as a whole.? ? Jennifer Comet Wagner

The benefits of gaming have been shown in studies and reported on, yet most of these studies never reach many of the parents, teachers, and others that should be aware that video games are much more than just “games”. Jennifer Comet Wagner hopes to remedy the situation with her new book, The Gamer Generation: Reaping the Benefits of Video Games.

With all the time involving game emits receiving shorter, what might anyone point out to experts whom think the particular quicker occasions are generally sweltering advancement and encouraging merchandise which in turn stick to expected tried out and reliable remedies?

Indeed and absolutely no. I’d believe that if there is a clear perspective about what you desire to obtain and a professional group you can plan for good results. This can occasionally signify you will use popular elements within components of the product and throughout other parts generate fresh factors. Every thing doesn’t have to end up being new to develop a great game playing expertise. In comparison with the music market you do not need brand new “never-used-before” audio equipment to create a brand new song but you will need some brand-new factors and a good idea.

With Multiplayer elements becoming more prominent inside games these days and along with a lot of inflexible levels of competition available on the market, what makes Battlefield 3′s multiplayer purpose to attract game enthusiasts?

Battlefield has always been a powerful entrepeneur inside the First person shooter multiplayer room. There is no cause of people to not be able to continue to be ahead of time in this area pertaining to Battlefield 3. DICE will have higher than a ten years of experience with Multiplayer Feet per second and most of the important thing people building Battlefield 1942 (launched Two thousand and two) remains nowadays portion of the particular Battlefield 3 team. We’re always striving to boost around the Battlefield system and Battlefield 3 is not any different.

A good deal of target is actually altered towards the multiplayer aspects of game titles nevertheless what of the one player alternatives – so what can solitary gamers assume after dark one person campaign?

We aren’t merely focusing on your multiplayer experience but in addition ensuring that you can end up in the game irrespective of the personality or feelings. Solitary players as if you say take advantage of the Individual person strategy but sometimes additionally, without having looking after about Teamplay or perhaps duty persons, have a thrilling time inside multiplayer.

What are your thinking on your rival’s products which in turn appear to be shipping throughout the identical occasion as Battlefield 3, think corner game competition has good health and do you actually discover much through the levels of competition are undertaking and how effectively they will execute?

Level of competition is often wholesome to push issues ahead. I believe many people are developing coming from a wholesome quantity of rivalry and the idea creates everyone to go the extra mile to give the consumer an improved merchandise. Most severe thing that could happen is if games quit continuing to move forward and we percieve which as being a huge element of our mission. Young people need to begin entering into generation x of FPS games and we’re going to attempt to take the 1st step.

It’s been documented that EA aims to make player with the dice crown coming from Activision and release the top initial person shooting just for this era. With Call of Duty performing consequently nicely, are you self-confident you entice the particular Call of duty audience?

Coming from a developer point of view we have been often striving to develop the very best game probable. We carry out believe your Battlefield formulation with an excellent Capturing encounter like a core and which include Teamplay elements, Autos and Exploitation could be the way forward for the actual style. If we achieve making better game or otherwise not; we will still press the industry ahead and this is a fantastic win with regard to consumers, programmers and the all together.

Precisely what are your own plans along with DLC Content? Another VIP-Pass?

The sole DLC we have introduced now is the particular “Back to Karkand” bunch that also includes re-made roadmaps, Tools and Autos coming from Battlefield 2. In case you pre-order the game you’re going to get that will at no cost.

Your spectacular footage of your game witnessed to date can be purportedly from the PC variation: whenever are you considering exhibiting several video clip from the Xbox 360 edition? And that differences can we anticipate from your PC model (away the particular already recognized multiplayer differences?

Each of our school of thought will be to certainly not to speak about points we simply cannot confirm and this is correct furthermore when it comes to the quality of the particular Xbox 360 variation of the game. Almost all of the central game systems (computer animation, exploitation, making, audio tracks and so forth.) is the same about all programs consequently there will stop a difference in regards to the knowledge of your game. Some details will certainly of course be different thanks to more substantial memory and the actual graphics playing cards you’ll have around the PC. We have been striving to drive the particular bag of FPS game titles generally speaking and this really is clear in all of the types of the game. Seeking back to what good quality we all achieved using Battlefield Bad Company 2 a year ago many of us do know precisely how to create good quality game titles on all systems.

Battlefield has always been the multiplayer-focused franchise’s, then you definitely made Bad Company for a far more campaign-oriented, console-friendly expertise. Today, using Battlefield 3 anyone appear to be combining each philosophies in only one game: can the two sequence carry on to can be found and build separately?

We attempted to give the Battlefield Bad Company series an original heart and soul of alone to not confuse it with the Core Battlefield string. We have been expecting which that is certainly clear acquire the best at the material we have unveiled to date via Battlefield 3. At the particular core they are both Battlefield online games therefore of course there’ll be similarities however the tone and depth of Battlefield 3 will likely be basically different.

We realize your game will sports activity a co-op advertising campaign, segregated in the main one. Could you provide us with some information regarding it?The amount of several hours need to the idea acquire to complete?

We’ve declared we can have a new Co-op mode within Battlefield 3 and not what it will probably be. We’re going to be sure we all utilize all of our Battlefield understanding to produce some thing really interesting of this type. Just hold out and discover.

Could you provide us with any kind of information on soldier improvements and weapon improvements?

Simply no, cannot give virtually any details at this time around. Let me tell an individual that it will ‘t be less than in almost any of the previous headings without a doubt.

Why is presently there 24 player restrictions on units? Could it be powerplant efficiency as well as social networking troubles?

We all will have to obtain the sweet place involving person count number, visible quality, exploitation, cars, system site visitors and standard game quality in all of the video games we have been constructing. In cases like this we have been focusing on almost all of the aforementioned and have come to the final outcome which All day and avid gamers for the gaming console gives us the proper stability. We had the dpi throughout Battlefield Bad Company 2 and that proved helpful great we think. We still need far more gamers compared to alot of FPS video games in system while using additional benefit of vehicles and devastation we are generally almost by yourself in having. We come across some video games trying to perform a lot more and not always succeeding since it is very hard to maintain your top quality of the knowledge whenever only adding much more participants. We’re not worried that this power of your multiplayer knowledge will never be ample for the units regardless of whether were pushing your quantities even more on your PC.

Bottom hiking was often frustrating in Bad Company 2 (Atakama Wilderness is good instance). Do you think you’re arranging to re-introduce “no items inside adversary base” program inside Battlefield 3? What about staff kills?

This can be a thing we are regularly researching. Were trying to find the best balance in most out there roadmaps, game methods and kits but We can not offer any essentials at this particular minute upon precisely what were undertaking regarding Battlefield 3.

Will there be training mode (or something similar) for multiplayer, exactly where players could learn how to soar helicopters as well as use other vehicles?

Once again I can not comment on this kind of at this time around. I’m sorry.

Will any demonstration coming prior to the discharge?

Indeed!

On January 23rd, Pitch a new funding platform will launch helping filmmakers all over the U.S. come one step closer in starting, developing or finishing their film. Pitch is a multimedia funding and business plan platform. Pitch provides a place for filmmakers to meet their audience. A place where the up and rising filmmakers or directors or producers have the opportunity to put their story, talents and vision out there to seek interested support. Supporters can contribute financially and/or provide critiques as the filmmakers take the next steps towards completing their first creation.

Funding your film normally doesn’t happen by someone donating ten dollars and hoping many people follow the trend to increase your cash pot. In this day in age, the use of technology has helped people achieve their business goals far more expected then imagined. Pitch hopes to build their audience with not only amateur filmmakers or moviegoers, but also professionals who can have a place to go to support and discover new talent and films.

The format of the platform allows the users to accept critiques and make improvements as they move from one level to the next. The audience is very pivotal for filmmakers to learn and broaden their vision further. The audience has a strong role in making the filmmaker a stronger artist in rewriting, re-shooting or restructuring their current film and then moving them forward to their next creation. The process is as much as the adventure as the end result.

Pitch is now accepting project submissions as they move out of beta mode. Thirty projects will be selected at a time, while others go on a wait list until a slot becomes available. The rules and regulations can also be described a bit of a challenging game as time is limited to meet your funding goals to advance to the next level. Pitch is sure to provide a lot of opportunity for new filmmakers in the coming.

iPi Soft, LLC, http://www.ipisoft.com, developer of the iPi Soft Desktop Motion Capture? line of markerless motion capture technology, has announced the breakthrough support for two Kinect sensors. The new dual-Kinect configuration marks the first time in history that users can have two of the popular game devices working at the same time on the same PC to capture complex human motions, including 360-degrees turns ? a huge boon to filmmakers, CG animators, broadcast motion graphics designers, videogame developers and prosumers in entertainment, military, medical and other vertical markets.

Click here to view the iPi Soft dual-Kinect motion capture demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msRtIZX529Q&feature=youtu.be

Michael Nikonov, iPi Soft?s Founder and Chief Technology Architect, explains that previous versions of the iPi Soft Mocap software included support for a single Kinect device or multiple PlayStation Eye cameras only. The new upgrade makes it possible to use two Kinect sensors giving digital storytellers ? especially game developers who are challenged to create realistic human characters ? the power of a multi-camera system, and eliminating the need for expensive marker suits and green-screen stage shoots.

?The new dual-Kinect feature is an important upgrade that delivers on iPi Soft?s commitment to give users the most accurate, easy-to-use and affordable motion capture tools to create believable humanoid motion characters,? Nikonov says. ?The software combines depth information from two Kinect sensors simultaneously for amazing coverage and accuracy. The 360-degrees turns provide a true workflow advantage.?

Thus far the upgrade has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from beta testers in the animation community. Artists Greenlaw and Alisa Loren Klein of Little Green Dog (littlegreendog.com) used the new dual-Kinect setup for their short film ?Happy Box? (http://youtu.be/gy3hSz7_zb8).

?Incredibly, we were able to record the motions of three characters for seventeen shots in just a couple of hours, and that included setup time and rehearsals,? noted Greenlaw. ?The results are far superior to the data we were getting using a single Kinect sensor. We plan on using iPi Desktop Motion Capture and Kinect for many more films.?

For Nikonov, this latest innovation represents the company?s mission toward bringing markerless motion capture beyond the hands of creative professionals and prosumers, and to a level of ubiquity among general consumers.

?I believe in the future people will get used to easily creating motion capture, the same way consumers got used to digital video cameras,? Nikonov notes. ?We will be using the same devices for playing video games and as well as creating content for them. I would compare older mocap solutions to antiquated mainframe computers.?

Pricing and Availability:

Support for two Kinect sensors is included in both the Basic and Standard editions of iPi Desktop Motion Capture software and comes at no additional cost. Users who purchased Basic or Standard editions of the software can download a free update from iPi Soft?s website. For the remainder of December, iPi Soft is offering a 30% pricing discount on its full line of scalable markerless motion capture products.

He announced that the people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality. Those born in dragon years are innovative, brave, and passionate. Salvador Dali, John Lennon, and Mary-Louise Parker were all born in the year of the dragon.

At Chinese New Year celebrations, people wear red clothing, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children “lucky money” in red envelopes. Red symbolizes fire, which according to legend can drive away bad luck.
