Dig it! PCG: What are the main components of the vehicle editor? Morgan Roarty: It's similar to the creature editor, where you start with a body that has a spine in it and you put pieces on it like a Mr. Potato Head doll. The difference with the vehicle editor is that all vehicles have a chassis [as the main piece on which the vehicle is built]. We didn't start with the chassis concept—we just thought the vehicle editor would be LEGO-style putting parts together. But born out of what we learned from the creature editor, we got the idea of the chassis, which everything pins to. The pinning is really key in the vehicle editor—it aligns pieces on the chassis, so for example, when you snap a wheel on, the wheels are symmetrical. Should women be screened for ovarian cancer? Researchers hope to answer that question through a new study in which blood and urine samples from healthy, postmenopausal women are collected and analyzed. Goal of study M. D. Anderson researchers conducting the Low-Risk Ovarian Cancer Study hope the clinical trial and others like it one day may lead to a more effective screening test to increase early detection of the disease. Unfortunately, theres no effective screening test, like the mammogram or colonoscopy, to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage when the chance of cure is greatest, says Karen Lu, M.D., associate professor in M. D. Andersons Department of Gynecologic Oncology. Bloomberg.co.uk is reporting this morning that sales of the Xbox in the USA trailed Analysts expectations by 33%, for the month of November. Microsoft apparently shifted 468,000 units, whilst Industry business boffin Bob Austrian (Banc of America Securities) had predicted sales of 700,000. "Industry growth rates, for both consoles and video games, may be slowing, or at least, seasonally weaker than expected," Austrian commented. Microsoft spokesperson Molly O'Donnell reacted by suggesting that the latest NPD data was inaccurate, as it excludes sales from Wal-Mart stores, the USA's largest games retailer. Xbox sales through Wal-Mart had apparently doubled in November, according to O'Donnell. Shares in Microsoft fell slightly at the news, whilst the likes of EA and Activision also saw a decline. When I saw that Eidos Interactive, who simultaneously cured my Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion addiction and sparked my Tomb Raider: Legend addiction, was taking a crack at a sandbox-style shoot-em-up called Just Cause, I got a little tingle in my bottom. I usually find that if I like one game by a particular publisher, I tend to like most of them. So I plunged headlong into the life and times of our hero Rico Rodriguez, a smooth-talking and damn-near-indestructible CIA black ops agent. In this first installment of Rico’s exploits, he’s busting up the corrupt regime of Salvador Mendoza (sorta like Manuel Noriega, a demagogue of a country sorta like Panama, in a game whose name sorta sounds like Operation Just Cause, the United States’ invasion of Panama - does anyone see a connection here?) Let me start by saying - this game isn't for everyone.
Atari reveal Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide Infogrames' Atari label, today confirmed a forthcoming add-on to the hugely popular D&D RPG Neverwinter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide. This is the first official expansion pack and is scheduled for release come Spring 2003. Among a number of additions, the add-on will bring a huge new 40-hour single player game, new skills, classes, monsters, spells, etc. In addition, the pack will include two new tile sets for use in the Aurora toolset that will enable budding module designers to create completely new worlds. The game is being developed in a collaboration between BioWare and Floodgate Entertainment, the developer founded by many former Looking Glass employees. "It's a great collaborative arrangement we've got with Floodgate," commented Dr. Greg Zeschuk, joint CEO and Co-Executive Producer of Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide. The latest New Yorker has a nice long profile of game designer Will Wright and his upcoming game, Spore; coupled with last month's Wright/Spore profile from New York Times Magazine, it's the strongest possible cultural affirmation of Wright as one of the world's top artists in any medium. (Something gamers have known for decades, though it's taken awhile for the rest of the world to catch up.) These profiles are also part of a gathering storm of interest over Spore, Wright's truly groundbreaking “god game" in which your goal as player is to shepherd your custom-designed creatures up the evolutionary ladder, from protozoa all the way to space-colonizing civilization. Set for a mid-2007 release, it will almost certainly be a masterpiece, and expand the potential of computer games beyond measure. Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Prostate SPORE Grant Renewed Mayo Clinic Cancer Center's Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for prostate cancer research has been renewed for an additional five years. SPORE grants are highly competitive awards given to institutions on the cutting edge of translational research in specific types of cancer. Don't keep live Christmas trees inside too long | Sunday, December ... A: A living Christmas tree has great appeal. After a short stay indoors during the holiday season, the living tree is moved outdoors and planted in the landscape. In areas of the United States with a mild winter climate, living Christmas trees are a viable option. In colder regions of the country, such as Iowa and Illinois, planting an evergreen in mid-winter is challenging because of our harsh winter weather.In the Midwest, good site preparation and care of the live tree can dramatically improve its chances for survival. Small, evergreens that are balled and wrapped in burlap or container-grown evergreens are the best choices for live Christmas trees. Small trees are less expensive, easier to handle and are more likely to survive. Prepare the planting site for the tree before the ground freezes in the fall. Vanguard's Shadow Hounds: a mount video Sigil Games makes some of the scariest looking MMO mounts we've ever seen. On the one hand, they're cool, but they look like they can throw you over your harness and snap your face in two with their jaws. Nice.
