Virtual Currency Games
Every little boy's (and plenty of grown guys's) dream of making a dwelling by way of gambling video video games is edging closer to truth. The recent launch of HunterCoin and the in-improvement VoidSpace, video games which reward players in virtual currency in preference to virtual princesses or gold stars point closer to a destiny in which one's ranking on a scoreboard might be rewarded in dollars, and sterling, euros and yen.
The tale of the millionaire (virtual) real property agent…
Digital currencies have been slowly gaining in maturity both in terms of their capability and the financial infrastructure that enables them for use as a credible alternative to non-virtual fiat currency. Though Bitcoin, the 1st and most widely recognized of the crypto-currencies was created in 2009 there were sorts of digital currencies utilized in video video Top NFT Games for extra than 15 years. 1997's Ultima Online was the first exceptional try to comprise a big scale virtual financial system in a recreation. Players may want to collect gold cash by way of venture quests, fighting monsters and locating treasure and spend those on armour, guns or real property. This became an early incarnation of a virtual forex in that it existed only within the game though it did replicate real global economics to the volume that the Ultima foreign money experienced inflation because of the game mechanics which ensured that there was a in no way finishing deliver of monsters to kill and therefore gold coins to acquire.
Released in 1999, EverQuest took virtual currency gaming a step in addition, allowing players to alternate virtual goods among themselves in-recreation and although it become prohibited with the aid of the game's clothier to also promote virtual objects to each other on eBay. In a actual global phenomenon which became entertainingly explored in Neal Stephenson's 2011 novel Reamde, Chinese game enthusiasts or 'gold farmers' have been employed to play EverQuest and different such video games complete-time with the intention of gaining revel in points with the intention to degree-up their characters thereby making them more effective and favourite. These characters would then be bought on eBay to Western game enthusiasts who have been unwilling or unable to put in the hours to degree-up their own characters. Based at the calculated alternate rate of EverQuest's foreign money due to the real international buying and selling that happened Edward Castronova, Professor of Telecommunications at Indiana University and an professional in virtual currencies anticipated that in 2002 EverQuest become the 77th richest usa inside the international, somewhere among Russia and Bulgaria and its GDP per capita was more than the People's Republic of China and India.
Launched in 2003 and having reached 1 million everyday users by using 2014, Second Life is perhaps the most whole example of a digital economy thus far wherein it is virtual forex, the Linden Dollar which can be used to shop for or promote in-recreation goods and services can be exchanged for real international currencies through market-based totally exchanges. There were a recorded $3.2 billion in-sport transactions of digital goods inside the 10 years among 2002-13, Second Life having end up a marketplace where gamers and organizations alike have been able to design, promote and promote content material that they created. Real estate became a specifically beneficial commodity to exchange, in 2006 Ailin Graef have become the 1st Second Life millionaire whilst she grew to become an initial funding of $9.95 into over $1 million over 2.5 years via buying, promoting and trading digital actual estate to different players. Examples inclusive of Ailin are the exception to the rule of thumb but, simplest a recorded 233 customers making greater than $5000 in 2009 from Second Life activities.

Die dritte Episode
Jetzt nehmen wir richtig Fahrt auf, eine Episode nach der anderen. Wie im letzten Artikel versprochen, werden wir uns in dieser Episode mit dem Gaming auf dem PC beschäftigen. Dazu werde ich noch auf die Klassiker der frühen Videospielgeschichte eingehen. 
Tumblr media
Mit der Einführung des Heimcomputer in den 80er Jahren wurden auch erste Spiele für den Heimcomputer entwickelt. Die Heimcomputer hatten einen technischen Vorteil gegenüber den Heimkonsolen. Dieses schlug sich aber auch im Preis nieder. Der Heimcomputer wurde mit dem Release des NES in den Hintergrund gedrängt. Die Heimcomputer waren in Japan eh schon nicht so erfolgreich und beliebt. In den Folgejahren setzte sich die NES auch auf dem amerikanischen und europäischen Markt durch. 
Erst mit dem Wechsel auf die CD-Rom konnte sich der PC wieder in den Vordergrund drängen. Dazu kommt, dass die Vermarktung der Spiele nun den Konsolenmarkt, aber auch den PC-Markt angesprochen wird. Das lag daran, das die Spiele nun parallel für den PC und die Konsolen entwickelt werden können. 
Tumblr media
Es entwickelten sich neue Spiele-Genre, der Ego-Shooter, die Echtzeitstrategie und die Online-Rollenspiele. Das gerade das Genre des Ego-Shooters große Konverse mit sich führte, habe ich in meinem letzten Artikel schon erwähnt. Doch im Jahr 1999 erschien ein Titel, der diese ganze Debatte auf Jahre noch bestimmen wird. Die Rede ist von Counter-Strike. Dieses Spiel ist erst mit Hilfe von Mods zu dem geworden, was Counter-Strike heute ist. Auf der einen Seite kämpfen Terroristen. Diese Gruppe hat meistens das Ziel eine Bombe an einem bestimmten Ort der Map zu legen oder die zweite Gruppe, die Anti-Terror-Kräfte, an der Befreiung von Geiseln zu hindern. Die Anti-Terror-Kräfte müssen dann die Bombenplätze vor den Terroristen schützen oder ,wie schon erwähnt, Geiseln befreien. Man hat sich für die Spielmechanik an realen, möglichen Szenarien orientiert. Dadurch stand Counter-Strike auch immer wieder in der Kritik, die Killerspiel-Debatte kam auf den Plan. Im Jahr 2002 wurde der Versuch gestartet Counter-Strike durch die Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien zu indizieren. Doch dieser Antrag wurde zum Glück abgelehnt. Es geht in diesem Shooter ja auch nicht primär um die Gewalt und deren Darstellung, sondern um das Teamplay und damit verbunden dem Sieg des Teams. Daher organisierten sich immer mehr Teams und verfeinerten ihr Zusammenspiel, der E-Sport entwickelt sich. Auf den E-Sport werde ich am Ende dieser Episode noch eingehen. 
Tumblr media
Hier habe ich noch einen Beitrag vom ZDF aus dem Jahr 2006. Man kann hier ganz gut sehen in welche Richtung die Argumentation der Befürworter der Verbote von “Killerspielen” geht. Zusätzlich sieht man, das Forderung nach Verboten von “Killerspielen” fast immer im Zusammenhang mit Amokläufen gestellt werden. 
youtube
Der erste große Titel der Strategie-Spiele war Dune 2 im Jahr 1992. Dune ist eine Mischung aus Strategiespiel und Adventure. Dieses Spiel basiert auf dem Fantasy-Roman von Frank Herbert “Der Wüstenplanet”. Der Entwickler des Spiels Brett W. Sperry prägte den Begriff der Echtzeitstrategie. Brett W. Sperry war Mitbegründer der Westwood Studios. Dieses Entwicklerstudio sollte in den Folgejahren einen der bestimmenden Titel der Echtzeitstrategie entwickeln. Im Jahr 1995 war es soweit. Mit dem Titel Command & Conquer veröffentlichte Westwood Studios ein Echtzeitstrategiespiel indem man in die Rolle eines Generals schlüpft und seine Streitkräfte taktisch clever positionieren und so die Überhand über die gegnerische Partei zu gewinnen. Zusammen mit einem Titel aus dem Hause Blizzard löste Command & Conquer einen Hype rund um das Genre der Echtzeitstrategie aus. Das Entwicklerstudio Blizzard veröffentlichte im Jahr 1994 den Titel “WarCraft Orcs and Humans” und legte so den Grundstein für eine bedeutende Franchise der Echtzeitstrategie.

Besonders bei der Command & Conquer-Reihe habe ich immer die Cutscenes gefeiert. Diese wurde meistens mit realen Schauspielern dargestellt. Diese Film-Zwischenszenen haben heutzutage ein Kultstatus. Die schauspielerische Leistung lässt in einigen Fällen zu wünschen übrig, aber dies macht ja den heutigen Kultstatus aus. 
youtube
Dann kommen wir jetzt zu dem Genre des Rollenspiels. Die Idee an sich eines Rollenspiels ist relativ alt. Man nimmt in einer Spielform die Rolle einer anderen Person oder eines anderen Lebenwesens ein. Diese Personen oder Lebenwesen können fiktiv sein. Die ersten Computer-Rollenspiele orientierten sich am Prinzip eines Pen-and-Paper. Eines der ersten großen Spiele im Bereich der Rollenspiele war Ultima, das in einem fiktiven Land Britannia spielt. Ultima wurde im Jahr 1981 veröffentlicht. Dieses Spiel orientiert sich am Pen-and-Paper-Spiel Dungeons & Dragons. Der nächste große Titel der Rollenspielgeschichte ist Dungeon Master. In dem Titel Dungeon Master  begründet so das Untergenre der Dungeoncrawler. Man arbeitet sich durch ein Dungeon und versucht das Ende des Levels zu erreichen. Dafür muss man sich durch das Dungeon finden und die Gegner, auf die man stoßt, muss man besiegen um das jeweilige Level abzuschließen. 
Das erste Online-Rollenspiel wurde im Jahr 1991 veröffentlicht. Neverwinters Nights spielt im Dungeons & Dragons-Universum und konnte bis zum Jahr 1997 exklusiv über AOL (ein amerikanischer Medienkonzern) auch online gespielt werden. 
Der nächste große Titel der Rollenspielgeschichte ist Diablo. Diablo ist ein Action-Rollenspiel und wurde wie WarCraft von Blizzard Entertainment entwickelt. Im Jahr 1996 wurde Diablo veröffentlicht und löste den Action-Rollenspiel Boom aus. Doch was ist ein Action-Rollenspiel? In einem Action-Rollenspiel muss der Spieler relativ schnell auf die Gegner reagieren und diese Gegner mit seinen Waffen und Fähigkeiten besiegen. Man verwendet auch den Begriff des Hack&Slay., quasi das Spielprinzip auf simpelste reduziert, “zerhacken und abschlachten”. 
Tumblr media
Wie man schon es vermuten konnte, erkannt man das Blizzard ein Händchen für Rollenspiel hat. Im Jahr 2004 veröffentlichte Blizzard ihren größten Erfolg. Dieser Titel sollte den Online-Rollenspiel-Markt für Jahre bestimmen und beherrschen. World of WarCraft ist bis heute ein beliebtes Spiel und baut auf einer großen Spielerschaft auf. 
Das war es für diese Episode. In der nächsten und letzten Episode geh ich auf die Entwicklung der Videospiele und deren Branche bis zur heutigen Zeit ein.

VIANELLO FOREVER – DIECI ANNI FA CI LASCIAVA IL GRANDE RAIMONDO. IL PADRE LO VOLEVA DIPLOMATICO, MA IL TEATRO CON GARINEI E GIOVANNINI LO CATAPULTÒ NEL CINEMA – CON UGO TOGNAZZI SPERIMENTÒ IL PRIMO CASO DI CENSURA IN TV, POI NELLA SUA VITA ENTRÒ SANDRA MONDAINI, COMPAGNA ANCHE DELL’INDIMENTICABILE “CASA VIANELLO” – QUANDO INVITO' A VOTARE BERLUSCONI E… VIDEO
-
Renato Franco per "www.corriere.it"
L’ironia imbattibile
«Lo scriva che sono puntate nuove perché non si distinguono una dall’altra: quelle in onda da oggi non sono repliche», così Raimondo Vianello parlava della nuova-ennesima stagione di «Casa Vianello».
E in questa battuta, fulminante come tante, disincantata come il suo aplomb, dinoccolata come il suo portamento, c’è molto di uno dei più grandi protagonisti della storia della tv. L’ironia era la cifra del suo modo di intendere la vita; la sua si è spenta 10 anni fa
Il padre lo voleva diplomatico
Raimondo Vianello era nato a Roma il 7 maggio 1922 e il padre, ammiraglio nella Marina Militare pensava per lui tutt’altra carriera, il diplomatico. E lui, il physique du rôle, biondo e allampanato, con quella sua aria molto inglese, ce l’aveva.
Ma non andò così. Il teatro (con Garinei e Giovannini) fu un trampolino che lo spinse ad arrivare al cinema (oltre 50 film) come caratterista, ma soprattutto alla tv. Vianello sapeva accendere risate con il suo umorismo distaccato, sottile, sempre elegante, mai volgare
La censura con Tognazzi
Il programma «Un due tre» segnò gli anni dal 1954 al 1959, con Tognazzi furono una coppia strepitosa, opposti e complementari, uno sanguigno l’altro compassato. L’episodio più famoso della loro carriera fu l’ultimo, primo caso di censura in tv. L’allusione allo scivolone del presidente Gronchi a un incontro con De Gaulle costò alla coppia il posto: «Tognazzi era in piedi, doveva sedersi ma la sedia non c’ era. Cadde. E io: ma chi ti credi di essere?
Finita la trasmissione andammo in camerino e c’era già la raccomandata di licenziamento». Furono richiamati dopo due anni: «Quando i dirigenti ci convocarono ci chiesero se avevamo qualche scenetta pronta. Io dissi che ne avevamo una sul Papa. Ci hanno rimandato subito a casa»
Il matrimonio con Sandra Mondaini
Se con Tognazzi fu una coppia di fatto, il matrimonio arrivò per davvero nel 1962 con Sandra Mondaini, conosciuta quattro anni prima. Non riuscirono ad avere figli, ma seppero comunque essere generosi con gli altri, adottando una famiglia di filippini. Lavorarono in coppia per 50 anni: da «Studio Uno» (1961) a «Il tappabuchi» (1967), da «Sai che ti dico?» (1972) a «Tante scuse» (1974). E poi «Noi... no» (1977), «Io e la befana» (1978-79), «Stasera niente di nuovo», ultima trasmissione in Rai nel 1981
La gag di «Casa Vianello»
L’anno dopo Vianello (con la moglie) approdò alle reti Fininvest di Silvio Berlusconi. «Casa Vianello» (1988-2007) è uno dei programmi che più rimangono impressi nella memoria televisiva, con i loro continui battibecchi di marito e moglie, con l’ineluttabile conclusione che, pur non sopportandosi, non possono fare a meno di stare insieme.
La scena finale, sempre la stessa, è diventata un cult: lui che legge la Gazzetta dello Sport, lei che scalcia sotto le coperte. «Mi dà fastidio perché l’ha inventata Sandra. Nacque da un vero sentimento di fastidio nei miei confronti, Sandra sentì il bisogno di dare una prova fisica della sua presenza»
Le battute sulla depressione di Sandra
Di Sandra, Raimondo parlava con il suo cinismo, ironico e tenero: «Sandra dice che sono pigro. Dice che, quand’ero giovane, sui set del film potevo darmi da fare, per fare nuove conquiste. Ma che ero troppo indolente. E io glielo lascio credere...». Ci fu un periodo in cui lei ebbe una forte crisi depressiva e lui stava chiuso in casa ad assisterla. Un giorno Vianello uscì di casa per prendere un caffè insieme a Baudo e si raccomandò con il portinaio: «Se cade qualcosa da sopra, è roba mia...»
L’appoggio politico a Berlusconi
Raimondo Vianello lavorò in coppia ma anche da solo: su Canale 5 presentò i quiz «Zig zag» (1983-1986) e «Il gioco dei 9» (1988-1990), mentre su Italia 1, lui appassionato di calcio, conobbe una seconda popolarità con «Pressing», la domenica sportiva di Italia 1 che condusse tra il 1991 e il 1999, scelto per la sua capacità — lui così ironico e signore — di sdrammatizzare gli inutili drammi che si fanno intorno al calcio.
E lì commise l’unico scivolone (alla Gronchi) della sua strepitosa carriera, quando invitò i telespettatori a votare per il suo datore di lavoro, era il 1994, l’anno della discesa in campo di Silvio Berlusconi
Il Festival di Sanremo
Nel 1998 fu chiamato a condurre Sanremo. Il ricordo del Festival è ancora una volta un colpo da maestro: «Ne ho vista bene solo un’ edizione, quella che ho presentato...». Strepitoso tanto in tv quanto nelle interviste: «Ogni tanto sentirà dei vuoti. Non pensi che mi sia offeso. È che la memoria è quella che è». In realtà aveva un tempismo perfetto, quello spazio vuoto in cui pensavi non avrebbe detto niente e poi invece perfetta, sempre, arrivava la battuta. Come quando congedava l’intervistatore: «Spero di essermi ricordato tutto... Se avessi fatto altre interviste di recente mi ricorderei anche altre cose»

Online game
Video game played over the Internet
“Netoge” redirects here. For the light novel series commonly abbreviated as “Netoge”, see And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online?
An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or any other computer network available.[1] Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).[2]
The design of online games can range from simple text-based environments to the incorporation of complex graphics and virtual worlds.[3] The existence of online components within a game can range from being minor features, such as an online leaderboard, to being part of core gameplay, such as directly playing against other players. Many online games create their own online communities, while other games, especially social games, integrate the players’ existing real-life communities.[4]
The culture of online gaming sometimes faces criticisms for an environment that can promote cyberbullying, violence, and xenophobia. Some are also concerned about gaming addiction or social stigma.[5] Online games have attracted players from a variety of ages, nationalities, and occupations.[6][7][8] The online game content can also be studied in the scientific field, especially gamers’ interactions within virtual societies in relation to the behavior and social phenomena of everyday life.[6][7] It has been argued that, since the players of an online game are strangers to each other and have limited communication, the individual player’s experience in an online game is not essentially different from playing with artificial intelligence players.[9] Online games also have the problem of not being permanently playable, unlike purchased retail games, as they require special servers in order to function.

History[edit]
Main article: History of online games
The history of online games dates back to the early days of packet-based computer networking in the 1970s,[4] An early example of online games are MUDs, including the first, MUD1, which was created in 1978 and originally confined to an internal network before becoming connected to ARPANet in 1980.[10] Commercial games followed in the next decade, with Islands of Kesmai, the first commercial online role-playing game, debuting in 1984,[10] as well as more graphical games, such as the MSX LINKS action games in 1986,[11] the flight simulator Air Warrior in 1987, and the Famicom Modem’s online Go game in 1987.[12]
The rapid availability of the Internet in the 1990s led to an expansion of online games, with notable titles including Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds (1996), Quakeworld (1996), Ultima Online (1997), Lineage (1998), Starcraft (1998), Counter-Strike (1999) and EverQuest (1999). Video game consoles also began to receive online networking features, such as the Famicom Modem (1987), Sega Meganet (1990), Satellaview (1995), SegaNet (1996), PlayStation 2 (2000) and Xbox (2001).[3][13] Following improvements in connection speeds,[5] more recent developments include the popularization of new genres, such as social games, and new platforms, such as mobile games.[14][better source needed]
Entering into the 2000s, online gaming grew in massively multiplayer online games, with World of Warcraft (2004) dominating much of the decade.[15] Several other MMOs attempted to follow in Warcraft's footsteps, such as Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes, Wildstar, Warhammer Online, Guild Wars 2, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, but failed to make a significant impact in Warcraft's market share.[15]
Separately, a new type of online game came to popularity alongside World of Warcraft, Defense of the Ancients (2003) which introduced the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) format. DotA, a community mod based on Warcraft III, gained in popularity as interest in World of Warcraft waned, but as the format was tied to the Warcraft property, others began to develop their own MOBAs, including Heroes of Newerth (2009), League of Legends (2010), and Dota 2 (2013). Blizzard Entertainment, the owner of Warcraft property, released their own take on the MOBA genre with Heroes of the Storm (2015), emphasizing on numerous original heroes from Warcraft III and other Blizzard’s franchises.[16] These initial MOBA titles further gained popularity with their inclusion in esports.[15]
In the late 2010s, the battle royale game format became widely popular with the release of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (2017), Fortnite Battle Royale (2017), and Apex Legends (2019).[15] A common trend among online games of the 2010s was operating them as games as a service, using monetization schemes such as loot boxes and battle passes as purchasable items atop freely-offered games.[15]
Demographics[edit]
The assumption that online games in general are populated mostly by males has remained somewhat accurate for years. Recent statistics begin to diminish the male domination myth in gaming culture. Although a worldwide number of male gamers still dominates over female (52% by 48%),[17] women accounted for more than half of the players of certain games. As of 2019, the average gamer is 33 years old.[18]
The report Online Game Market Forecasts estimates worldwide revenue from online games to reach $35 billion by 2017, up from $19 billion in 2011.[19]
Online games[edit]
First-person shooter game (FPS)[edit]
Main article: First-person shooter
During the 1990s, online games started to move from a wide variety of LAN protocols (such as IPX) and onto the Internet using the TCP/IP protocol. Doom popularized the concept of a deathmatch, where multiple players battle each other head-to-head, as a new form of online game. Since Doom, many first-person shooter games contain online components to allow deathmatch or arena style play. And by popularity, first person shooter games are becoming more and more widespread around the world. As games became more realistic and competitive, an e-sports community was born. Games like Counter-Strike, Halo, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Quake Live and Unreal Tournament are popular with these tournaments. These tournaments have a range of winnings from money to hardware.
Expansion of hero shooters, a sub-genre of shooter games, happened in 2016 when several developers released or announced their hero shooter multiplayer online game (Battleborn, Overwatch, and Paladins).[20]
Real-time strategy game (RTS)[edit]
Main article: Real-time strategy
Early real-time strategy games often allowed multiplayer play over a modem or local network.[21] As the Internet started to grow during the 1990s, software was developed that would allow players to tunnel the LAN protocols used by the games over the Internet. By the late 1990s, most RTS games had native Internet support, allowing players from all over the globe to play with each other.[21] Popular RTS games with online communities have included Age of Empires, Sins of a Solar Empire, StarCraft and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.
Massively multiplayer online game (MMO)[edit]
Main article: Massively multiplayer online game
Massively multiplayer online games were made possible with the growth of broadband Internet access in many developed countries, using the Internet to allow hundreds of thousands of players to play the same game together. Many different styles of massively multiplayer games are available, such as:
MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game)
MMORTS (Massively multiplayer online real-time strategy)
MMOFPS (Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter)
MMOSG (Massively multiplayer online social game)
Multiplayer online battle arena game (MOBA)[edit]
Main article: Multiplayer online battle arena
A specific subgenre of strategy video games referred to as multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) gained popularity in the 2010s as a form of electronic sports, encompassing games such as the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III, League of Legends, Dota 2, Smite, and Heroes of the Storm.[22]
Battle Royale games[edit]
Main article: Battle royale game
A battle royale game is a genre that blends the survival, exploration and scavenging elements of a survival game with last-man-standing gameplay. Some notable examples include PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Apex Legends.[23]
Console gaming[edit]
Main articles: Xbox Live and PlayStation Network
Xbox Live was launched in November 2002. Initially the console only used a feature called system link, where players could connect two consoles using an Ethernet cable, or multiple consoles through a router. With the original Xbox Microsoft launched Xbox Live, allowing shared play over the internet. A similar feature exists on the PlayStation 3 in the form of the PlayStation Network, and the Wii also supports a limited amount of online gaming. Nintendo also has a network, dubbed “Nintendo Network”, that fully supports online gaming with the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Browser games[edit]
Main article: Browser game
As the World Wide Web developed and browsers became more sophisticated, people started creating browser games that used a web browser as a client. Simple single player games were made that could be played using a web browser via HTML and HTML scripting technologies (most commonly JavaScript, ASP, PHP and MySQL).
The development of web-based graphics technologies such as Flash and Java allowed browser games to become more complex. These games, also known by their related technology as “Flash games” or “Java games”, became increasingly popular. Browser-based pet games are popular among the younger generation of online gamers. These games range from gigantic games with millions of users, such as Neopets, to smaller and more community-based pet games.
More recent browser-based games use web technologies like Ajax to make more complicated multiplayer interactions possible and WebGL to generate hardware-accelerated 3D graphics without the need for plugins.
MUD[edit]
Main article: MUD
MUD are a class of multi-user real-time virtual worlds, usually but not exclusively text-based, with a history extending back to the creation of MUD1 by Richard Bartle in 1978. MUD were the direct predecessors of MMORPG.[24]
Player versus environment (PvE)[edit]
Main article: Player versus environment
PvE is a term used in online games, particularly MMORPGs and other role-playing video games, to refer to fighting computer-controlled opponents.
Player versus player (PvP)[edit]
Main article: Player versus player
PvP is a term broadly used to describe any game, or aspect of a game, where players compete against each other rather than against computer-controlled opponents.
Online game governance[edit]
Online gamers must agree to an End-user license agreement (EULA) when they first install the game application or an update. EULA is a legal contract between the producer or distributor and the end-user of an application or software, which is to prevent the program from being copied, redistributed or hacked.[25] The consequences of breaking the agreement vary according to the contract. Players could receive warnings to termination, or direct termination without warning. In the 3D immersive world Second Life where a breach of contract will append the player warnings, suspension and termination depending on the offense.[26]
Where online games supports an in-game chat feature, it is not uncommon to encounter hate speech, sexual harassment and cyberbullying.[27][28] Players, developers, gaming companies, and professional observers are discussing and developing tools which discourage antisocial behavior.[29] There are also sometimes Moderators present, who attempt to prevent anti-Social behavior.
Recent development of gaming governance requires all video games (including online games) to hold a rating label. The voluntary rating system was established by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). A scale can range from “E” (stands for Everyone) inferring games that are suitable for both children and adults, to “M” (stands for Mature) recommending games that are restricted to age above 17. Some explicit online game can be rated “AO” (stands for Adult Only), identifying games that have content suitable for only adults over the age of 18. Furthermore, online games must also carry an ESRB notice that warns that any “online interactions are not rated by the ESRB”.

Obscure but good sports sedans or Q-car /sleeper cars you own or have owned? via /r/cars
Obscure but good sports sedans or Q-car /sleeper cars you own or have owned?
In my local neighborhood, someone had a Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 24v hatchback, about 10-15 years ago.
Admittedly, it's not a sports model, but it was - at the time in 1994 and 1995 - higher up than the affordable sports model, the Si.
It had a 2.5-liter/168hp V6, which is small by today's standards, but back then seemed large.
I honestly thought it was an Ultima or Ghia version looking at it - same sort of wheelcovers as those models and nothing to indicate it was sporty. If you wanted an over-the-top, Macho Man-type Mondeo, well, from 1999, the Mondeo ST200 would be it - didn't Rickard Rydell drive one of those on the track?
The Mondeo could be good for modding, but would you want to get the 2.5 engine from 168hp up to the Focus ST's 240hp or Focus RS's 350hp, but then again it could tax the chassis? [Sorry... fantasizing there, had a tab open about the Focus RS when writing this].
It's like a spiritual predecessor to today's Fusion 2.7 V6 Sport sedan.
Nowadays, the Mondeo 2.0 EcoBoost 240 ST-Line is the closest thing you can get to it, with the 2.0-liter/240hp EcoBoost 4-cylinder.
It's a Q-car/sleeper - looks normal, but sporty underneath.
Other sleeper cars I've seen recently are:
Volvo XC90 V8: Not that common, but looks pretty awesome, and that 4.4 V8 from Yamaha. It's one of those SUVs that's not just a bland crossover. Never driven one, and it'll be hard to find anyway.
SEAT Leon ST FR estate: It looks like any normal stationwagon, but has the 2.0-liter TSI engine that's quite fast.
I have to admit, I like the Volvo XC90 V8 despite its near-obscurity and thirsty V8 engine.
What are the obscure but good sports sedans or sleepers / Q-cars you've owned - or currently own - and anyone here got a car they'd consider a future classic?

My brother went out there when he was younger with his friends, they drove there and he lived on the beach than came back. So, exactly how expensive is it in California?

Will a bike licence bring down car insurance?
Ok, so I'm 18 and am looking to learn to drive. I know that insuring a car is going to cost a bomb anyway, but will the fact I have passed a full motorcycle test (A2) help to bring my insurance down?

By the time I pass my car test I would have had my A2 licence for a year and have 3years no claims discount. Also I am looking at getting a 1.1 Citroen Saxo.

Question about first insurance quote for a young driver?
Last week I used autotrader to search for numerous quotes and found one for around 1450. Today I passed my driving test, and went back to the quote but it had to be renewed since last week which is fair enough. The lowest value today was 1576 which I am alright with. I refreshed the page a while later to find that quote had disappeared and the cheapest was 1620, with the company for that quote (elephant) at the bottom with an unable to find a quote detail. I thought it would come back soon, so I refreshed the page and then suddenly the price increased to 2950 minimum and many of the cheaper companies were now listed as unable to find a quote. Strange, but perhaps the websites are too busy to send data. An hour on though and the price is still 2950. Did anyone else have this problem? If so when was it fixed, the same day or next day?

But i got in a car accident about 8 months ago which ended up being my fault. so since the damage is minimal to my bumper, i'm not sure its worth the hassle and the possibility of my rates going up, even though not my fault. should i just let it go? or file a claims through the other persons insurance, and if i do, do i have to call up my own insurance company as well? or by filing the claim through the other company, they'll take care of it? thanks for all the input.""

Logic tells me that with a deductable, like car insurance, I would pay for the entire office visit cost, since it would obviously be less than $10000. And a $25 co-pay for prescriptions! So, with that said, I would be paying a monthly payment of $900, the $50 co-pay, and the visit bill. I understand that insurance is for when really bad things happen, but geez. Is this really what people pay? We've been without insurance for 4 years and pay about $30 and office visit (by paying cash) and go to Publix and get $4 prescriptions.

Cea mai bună metodă de recrutare: TACI ! Steve Chandler, în ultima sa carte (”100 de căi pentru motivarea celorlalţi”), oferă sfaturi de leadership. Unul din ele face referire directă la recrutări şi angajarea celor mai potriviţi oameni. Mi-a plăcut mult, aşa că îl reproduc integral în continuare: O măsură a lidershipului este calibru celor ce aleg să te urmeze. Dennis A. Peer, Management Consultant Cei mai mulţi operatori de interviuri vorbesc prea mult… şi ajung prea repede la întrebarea: „Este ceva ce v-aţi dori să ne întrebaţi?” Învaţă să nu mai faci aşa. Ego-ul tău este cel exprimat, şi nu o bună tehnică de interviu. Persoanele care nu sunt pregătite suficient sau nu au experienţa necesară, ajung întotdeauna să-şi ia singure interviu sau să vorbească despre compania lor. Simţindu-se inconfortabil punând o mulţime de întrebări, încep repede să vorbească despre istoria companiei, despre experienţa lor în cadrul acesteia sau despre convingeri şi opinii personale. În acest caz, îşi pierd timpul. În cinci luni îsi vor freca mâinile şi îşi vor bate capul pentru că au permis infiltrarea unui angajat problemă, un nemulţumit cronic. Adu-ţi aminte: nu vorbi. Sarcina ta este să intuieşti nivelul motivaţional al persoanei din faţa ta. Poţi face acest lucru, lăsând-o să răspundă, întrebare după întrebare. E nevoie de curaj, imaginaţie şi pregătire pentru a formula un număr suficient de întrebări pentru a întreţine o conversaţie. Dar, marii lideri sunt buni recrutori. În sport şi în viaţă. Ca lider, eşti la fel de bun precum sunt oamenii tăi. Angajează-i pe cei mai buni. Dale Dauten, deseori numit ”Obi-Wan Kenobi al consultanţei de afaceri”, spunea: „Când am făcut research-ul care a dus la cartea mea „The Gifted Boss” (William Morrow, First edition, 1999), am descoperit că marii conducători petrec foarte puţin timp încercând să conducă angajaţii spre excelenţă, dar în schimb, depuneau eforturi extraordinare pentru a găsi şi curta persoane excepţional de capabile. Reiese că cel mai bun management este să găseşti angajaţii care nu au nevoie să fie îndrumaţi.” Ceea ce spune Chandler este perfect valabil, mai ales când ai la dispoziţie setul de întrebări necesar! Din fericire, acest set există ! El se numeşte LAB Profile şi conţine cele 14 întrebări motivaţionale pentru a determina profilul motivaţional al unui viitor angajat. Despre LAB Profile (detalii aici si aici) voi mai vorbi, pentru că este unul dintre cele mai profunde unelte psihologice cunoscute ! Inspiraţie ! andy szekely

I’m confused.  Among all the choices, versions and variants out there in car land, there are no less than 3 vehicles available for sale today called GTR.  There’s the obvious, the Nissan GT-R.  The new contender, the Mercedes Benz AMG GT R.  There’s the recent, sold out but totally still on our minds McLaren P1 GTR.  The recently renamed Ultima GTR – which is now called the Evolution.  Then there’s the pantheon of great GTRs, the CLK GTR, the McLaren F1 GTR, the BMW M3 GTR and Holden Torana GTR.
The question is – why so many GTRs?
The Meaning of GTR
The GT badge can be traced back as far as 1929 to the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GT.  Later, in 1951 and the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT, with its more powerful engine and elegant 2 door Ghia-designed, Pininfarina built body was when ‘Gran Turismo’ would start to earn its definition.  1950s Grand Touring was about motoring with exceptional comfort, effortless speed and supreme style.  This association with wealth, speed and style was like catnip to marketing people and the GT designation has since graced everything all the way down to humble hatchbacks with nothing more to note than a sporty pinstripe.
The Bentley Continental GT and the Aston Martin DB11 are possibly the closest modern examples of a true ‘GT’ car, however you can also buy a Kia c’eed that wears the same letters.
Adding suffixes to extend the meaning of GT further diluted the comfort and style side of the balance.  GTO (Omologata) for homologation special, GTA (Alleggerita) for lightened version, GTV (Veloce) for a fast version, GTI (Injection), GTX (eXtreme) and many more.  The R in GTR stands for Racing.  They all have a theme – high performance.
The Inconsistent GT Suffix
With the exception of obscure sports car maker Ultima, the car companies who have used the GTR name seem to have a very love/hate relationship with it. The designation has always been used very sporadically.
McLaren has it reserved for the racing/track version of the pinnacle of their range, so after using it from 1995 to 1997, it wasn’t dusted off again for 18 years and the P1 GTR in 2015.
Mercedes dabbled with the GTR name on the 1997 CLK GTR GT1 race car.  The GTR only ran for the 1997 season plus two races in the 1998 season before it was replaced by the upgraded CLK LM.  The 25 road cars built in 1998 and 1999 would also carry the CLK GTR name.  The badge would stay in hiatus for 18 years until 2017, when AMG would again use it on the hardcore version of the GT coupe the GT R.
Similarly, BMW was to use the GTR name on the racing versions of the E36 and E46 M3s.  Built to maximise the GT series rules at the time, 10 E46 road cars were offered for sale after Porsche complained that the M3 had not met with series homologation rules.  Only 6 were built, none of which were sold to the public funnily enough.  The name has stayed on ice ever since.
It’s like this all through the history of GTR.  The Ford Mustang GT-R was a one-off concept.  The Holden Torana GTR was only around for the LC and LJ models between 1969 and 1974 and never revived.  Porsche called the racing version of the 924 the GTR and we all know how long that lasted.
Even Nissan, the most consistent user of the badge in recent memory has been very on and off.  After the ‘Kenmeri’ Skyline GT-R was killed off in the midst of the oil crisis in 1973 it would be 16 years before the R32 Skyline GT-R would revive the nameplate in 1989.  The GT-R was killed off again when the last R34s rolled down the line in 2002.  The R35 only came along 5 years later in 2007.
GT-R at Les Combes, Spa Francorchamps
The Original GTR
I’ve done a lot of research to write this article and one of the points of note was, of course – who did it first?  My research took me back as far as 1969 when 3 GTRs appeared for the first time.  The Holden Torana ‘LC’ GTR was presented to dealers for the first time in October 1969.  The legendary GTR XU-1 would follow a few months later.  Predating the Holden by just one month in Japan was the Isuzu Bellett 1600 GT-R.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
The earliest appearance of the R suffix, however was the PGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R.  It first appeared as a concept at the Tokyo Motorshow in October 1968 before going on sale in February of 1969.  Its predecessor, the Prince Skyline 2000 GT-B was already a legendary racing car in Japan, after taking the fight up to, yet ultimately coming second to the word-conquering Porsche 904.  An ‘R’ racing version was the logical next step and was marketed alongside the R380 race car to legitimise its racing bona fides.
Racing Pedigree
GTRs are built to race and most have become legendary.
The Skyline GT-R PGC10 won 33 victories in one and a half years of racing.  The Coupé KPGC10 would take further wins, making it legendary in its home market.  Later, the Group A R32 GT-R would decimate all before it, earning the nickname ‘Godzilla’.  Notable wins include the Bathurst 1000 twice, Spa 24 Hours and all 29 races it was entered in between 1990 and 1993 in Japan. It’s well documented that the rules were changed in Australia to outlaw it, such was its dominance.  If there was ever a case for the ultimate pedigreed GTR, this would go a long way to earning the rights.
The GT-R, reintroduced with the R32 (launched August 1989), made its debut at the opening race of the All Japan Championship in March 1990. In the four seasons running up to the last All Japan Championship held in1993, the GT-R achieved a spectacular record, winning all 29 rounds. This No. 12 Calsonic (CalsonicKansei at present) Skyline (K. Hoshino/Masahiko Kageyama) was victorious in 1990 and 1993.
Not as long lived but just as legendary, the McLaren F1 GTR.  The F1 was never intended to race, however the program was borne at the behest of McLaren’s customers.  It’s wasn’t a slap-dash job, but Gordon Murray was only afforded one day in the McLaren wind tunnel to develop the aero kit, lest he take too much time away from the Formula 1 team.  They still went out and dominated the BPR class it was built for then in 1995 won that little race, the 24 Hours of LeMans.  It remains the only time a car entered in the road car based GT class would ever top the Prototype classes.
The CLK GTR never won the LeMans 24 Hours, however it did take out the 1997 Drivers and Teams GT championships.  It also contributed to championship wins in 1998.
  The State of Today
I find Mercedes AMG’s choice to name the track version of the GT coupe the GT R very curious.  It clearly fits with the naming convention within the range, GT, GT S, GT C.  Yet it’s inviting comparisons with a Nissan, a brand I would generally consider well beneath Benz.  Yet they’re pitching it into the same class with the same name.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
The Nissan GT-R has always been a special, one-out car that transcends the rest of the dowdy Nissan range.   If anything Benz is giving Nissan a free kick.  The R35 is a 10 year old design.  The similar naming has invited the motoring press to compare the two. The new car is winning but not by anywhere near the margin you’d expect it to.  Especially for a new Benz.  Better choices might have been GT T (Track), GT P (Performance) or if they wanted to tap their own history, GT H (Hammer).  GT H works on so many levels, it also has amusing marketing synergies with Lewis Hamilton (Hammer time) but I digress.
The CLK GTR is a mostly forgotten blip in Mercedes history and they quickly renamed it to the LM when they got serious about chasing the LeMans win.
MERCEDES-AMG GT R, AMG green hell magno, Leder Exklusiv Nappa/Mikrofaser DINAMICA schwarz;Kraftstoffverbrauch kombiniert 11,4 l/100 km, CO2-Emissionen kombiniert 259 g/km* MERCEDES-AMG GT R, AMG green hell magno, Exclusive Nappa leather/DINAMICA microfiber black;Fuel consumption, combined 11.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions, combined 259 g/km*
The big problem is that the AMG GT R is not really the Racing version, that’s the GT3.  It’s a track day special.  It hasn’t earned the R designation in the hellfire of motorsport like the Nissan, the McLaren or even the BMW and Holden have.  It doesn’t matter how good the car is, the marketing berks at Benz have wiped their feet on 48 years of tradition.  They can go and get stuffed.
  Nissan. Mercedes AMG. McLaren. Why so many GTRs? #h93 #cars #street #racing #sportscar I'm confused.  Among all the choices, versions and variants out there in car land, there are no less than 3 vehicles available for sale today called GTR.

SAN BENEDETTO – La Legio Picena Rugby è pronta per la prossima stagione agonistica. La dirigenza del sodalizio rivierasco vuole compiere un nuovo passo in avanti rispetto alle stagioni passate ed ha già stilato il programma delle attività che saranno svolte nell’annata sportiva 2017/2018. Confermati lo svolgimento dell’ attivita’ del mini rugby ( annate 2008 al 2011), under 12 (annate 2006 al 2007), under 14 ( annate 2004 al 2005) e under 16 (annate 2002 al 2003) in collaborazione con il Fermo Rugby e per ultima l’ attività under 18 (1999 al 2001) in collaborazione con l’ Amatori Ascoli Rugby e il Fermo Rugby.
“L’ obiettivo -dice il presidente Antonio Angelini– è quello di consolidare quello che si è già costruito negli ultimi due anni non solo come crescita ma anche come rapporti collaborativi fra società e cercare, nello stesso tempo di migliorare la qualità del lavoro svolto grazie all’ esperienza acquisita. Si cercherà di fare soprattutto ciò anche andando a consolidare il rapporto di collaborazione tra la nostra società e il Viadana Rugby e costruendone altri con altre grandi realtà rugbystiche”.
Per quanto riguarda lo staff tecnico, rispetto allo scorso anno, ne crescerà l’esperienza e il livello tecnico e si cercherà di dargli una prospettiva di futuro. “Siamo fermamente intenzionati -aggiunge Angelini- al fine di dare una prospettiva ai ragazzi dei settori giovanili, di iniziare a costruire le basi per una futura squadra seniores, cercando di ripetere la bellissima esperienza umana della Legio Picena degli anni che vanno del 2008 al 2011, che è rimasta ancora indimenticata in tanti giocatori. Si cercherà anche di migliorare alcune situazioni presso la struttura del campo Rodi, affinché possa rendere la struttura più usufruibile e sfruttabile. Nel frattempo il manto erboso è quasi pronto per iniziare la preparazione”.
