Game Mixes Racing and Role Play

Game Mixes Racing and Role Play 08/20/2004 06:47 AM

In Street Racing Syndicate, a video game scheduled for release at the end of the month, players can test their role-playing mettle in the illegal street-racing scene without the nasty risk of going to jail. A review by Chris Kohler.

Matrix online game hires real actors to
play in-game characters


Matrix online game hires real actors to
play in-game characters
03/25/2005 06:33 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Matrix Online (a massively multiplayer online game based on the Matrix franchise) has hired a troupe of 20 actors to hang around in game and in character, advancing the story and generally making it all seem more disbelief-suspendingly real.
Since the close of the beta, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that it has employed a troupe of 20-odd people whose job it will be to enact narrative scenarios in The Matrix Online live. These people will assume the roles of popular characters, interact with players, and generally move the stories in ways that only live "actors" can. And though it appears that the story hasn't officially commenced, a few players on the Method server were treated to a pretty slick sample of it this afternoon: an extended pep-talk by none other than Morpheus himself. (See the screenshots for proof.) But this is an Out of the Box report, so here are our first impressions of the game so far.

Hot party game trend: Cockroach racing


Hot party game trend: Cockroach racing 06/14/2004 11:40 AM
A Lithuanuan event management company offers unusual party games, including the time-honored sport of Madagascar Cockroach Racing.
Every participant receives special race money and can purchase with them one of six cockroach. Other participants bet for the couple of player and cockroach they liked the most and watch the competition on the big table (4.5x1.5 m).

The game will be a surprise to all guests. As much as they would load the poor insect from the beginning, they will love them be the end of the race. Players stimulate theirs cockroaches to run by knocking the glassed surface of the course with the special small sticks and joy of every step of cockroach. The finish of the race is quite unpredictable and every step of a cockroach brings lots of emotions to all the guests.

11/06/2003 04:10 AM
It's pretty common in many (though certainly not all) sports for players to go an extra step or two to push an opposing team when they're down. Maybe hit an opponent a little extra hard or try to add an extra shove when a ref isn't looking. It seems that some dirty tricks come naturally in many sports - but not in video games until now. There's a new video game controller out there that will let you momentar ily take control of your opponents controller. Sometimes it gives you full control, and others it just messes up their controller altogether. Consider it the video game version of an extra shove.

Oh yeah, there are some pictures of some other phones in there too, like the amazing-looking A1101s.

Fixing a racing heart


Fixing a racing heart 01/05/2005 06:44 PM
Modern medicine has crossed into magic. My wife Ann went into the Brigham and Women's Hospital today at 6AM to have her tachycardia -- episodes of a racing heartbeat -- fixed. A little before 10AM, they threaded five wires up through her arteries (veins?), from her groin directly into her heart. Ann says the procedure was basically painless. Once the catheters were in her heart, the doctors stimulated a tachycardia episode and used that to figure out which circuit was going astray. They heated the tip of one of the wires and burned a square millimeter or so of her...

Figure Eight Train Racing


Figure Eight Train Racing 03/26/2005 09:53 PM

I stumbled across something on SpeedTV today that has to be seen to be believed: figure-eight train racing. Not real trains — three cars lashed together to act like a train.

The first car is the only powered car. Usually something big, old, and American — mid seventies Monte Carlos seemed quite popular. The driver of this car steers and works the throttle. The car has no brakes.

Attached to the back of the first car by chains and a tow bar is the middle car, which has nothing. No engine, no brakes, no driver. Just an empty shell.

Attached to the back of that by chains is the caboose. No engine, no steering, but it has brakes and a driver. God help him.

Now, take eight of these perversions of automotive theory and put them on a figure eight track. Seriously. Then race them for 10 laps.

The race I watched ended with no hits in the crossover, which surprised me. What's amazing is watching the caboose get whipped around like a rag doll. The rear driver is supposed to be able to put some tension on the train by using the brake, but I couldn't see any difference. Any quick steering movement up front got wildly exaggerated by the time it rippled back to the rear and that guy was just along for the ride.

I wish I had a picture to show you, but a few minutes of Googling turned up nothing. Half of me thinks the whole thing was just a nightmare.
