Battlestar Galactica

A couple of internet fear-mongers out there want us to believe that robots will end up one day killing us all. Now I don’t typically trust robots any further than I can throw them – unless of course my cell phone were to become self aware – but I think there are just enough machines with decency out there for us to give their kind the benefit of the doubt. A few good robots will go out of their way to protect us even without being programmed to do so. I’d like to highlight some of these exemplary cases to help the rest of us put our misgivings about robots at ease.

A lot of sci-fi fans and average cinema goers alike were left with a bad taste in their mouths about robots after they saw 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL 9000 and his tyranny gave computer-based robots everywhere a bad rap after he successfully killed off part of his ship’s crew and became an infamous cinematic villain. However a similar computer-based robot, GERTY, in the film Moon is first portrayed to be an untrustworthy computer like HAL but defies the robot stereotypes and aids the protagonist to safety. GERTY not only acts against his programmed directive to assist the human astronaut but also works against the corporation that created him. This selfless act of robot kindness leaves the audience with both a sense of relief and joy to see a robot who cares for the central character’s well being. Here’s a robot who saw the beaten path and walked away from it.

Not all robots who side with human are computer based – many look like you or me. In the case of Battlestar Galactica and Battlestar Galactica Online, some not only look like humans but occasionally don’t even realize that they themselves are robots. The robots of this series, Cylons, come in many forms, including human-like cyborgs. One of the most famous humanoid Cylons of the series is Number Eight a.k.a “Boomer,” “Sharon,” and “Athena.” This machine born humanoid is part of a series of identical robots created by the Cylons, who appears multiple times within the Battlestar Galactica TV series and can be met in person in Battlestar Galactica Online. Despite her robotic origins and assassin tendencies, Sharon serves the human fleet as a fighter pilot, falls in love with a human, gives birth to the first successful half-breed between the human and robot races, helps the humans find Earth and saves countless human lives. Number Eight has an impressive resume of good deeds and it’s certainly not every day that a robot defies its own species to help save humanity.

Few would argue against the fact that the most dedicated robots to protecting humanity and willing to put their own lives on the line for humans are the Autobots. Optimus and his gang of do-gooders have been kicking Decepticon butt since 1984. These metal brutes crash landed on Earth and blended in perfectly with the rest of the barren wasteland known as the 1980s by transforming themselves into vehicles, weapons and more. More Autobots have sacrificed their lives to defend humanity against the tyranny of the Decepticons than I can count and have never asked for anything in return. Time and time again, Autobots have taken the bullet for a human or two, which is a noble act that shouldn’t be forgotten.

In 2007, the Transformers made a return to the big screen to remind us, that not only are there big ugly machines out there ready to blow us to bits, but that there’s just as likely to be a big bunch of colorful robots, who are full of surprises, good will and even comic relief. The Autobots and Decepticons battle it out in a mind-blowing rush of bullets, flames and explosions which leave pristine Chicago looking more like Detroit. This unlimited-budget film teaches us how to work together with robots and how to trust in the brave few among them willing to stand against robo-tyranny. The Autobots are beyond a doubt the greatest robotic defenders of humanity and put a positive spin on the title “robots in disguise.”

The lesson here is this: Although robots may be big scary, soulless machines, built by our own hands or crash landed on our doorstep from deep-space; there are plenty who care for humanity and will stand by our side. So don’t be scared by the media’s portrayal of robots as killing machines – just remember that a precious few are right there behind you. Humanity is in good hands.

RuneScape Classic was first released to the public in January 2001 and is the original version of the immensely popular free to play MMMORPG RuneScape and shows just how far RuneScape has come over the past 10 years.

RuneScape Classic has been opened sporadically since RuneScape 2 was released in 2004 and fans have been checking out how far the game has progressed ever since, taking a nostalgic tour of the game and collecting the much coveted Classic Cape and Classic Hood. These collectables, which give players a unique Skillcape emote, are exclusive in-game items only available to those who have logged in to RuneScape Classic; making this last ever chance a historical moment for RuneScape players as the cape and hood will soon be unobtainable to those not already holding them.

RuneScape members wishing to join RuneScape Classic will need to log-in between Thursday 15th September 2011 and Thursday 29th September 2011 to ensure they can access the game in the future as this is the last time the doors will be open to new players.

Daniel Clough, VP of RuneScape, commented, “The past 10 years have seen RuneScape grow and develop at a phenomenal rate and today’s game is testament to the continued content, graphical and technological updates. Taking a trip back to Classic is gives our longest standing players a chance to reminisce and newer players a chance to see where their game has come from. Ten years after RuneScape Classic opened its gates to adventurers, it seems a fitting time to close them to new players, as we look forward to RuneScape’s second decade and to what promises to be a very exciting future for the game.”

The origins and development of Bingo

There are in fact several different games of chance played throughout the world called Bingo.  Although sharing similarities, the Bingo played in America is different to the version of the game played in the U.K, New Zealand and Australia, and there is even a card game called Bingo.  The modern game continues to develop, and you’ll see many of these new versions of Bingo online at casino sites like 32Red.  Here we take a look back at where it all began.

The U.S. version of Bingo is in all probability a development of a game invented in 16th Century Italy.  The “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia,” was invented around 1530, and as such is the oldest known form of the game, still played in Italy to this day.  Sometime in the 1770’s the game was imported by French noblemen, and given the name ‘Le Lotto’.  The game spread to Germany in the nineteenth century, although in this incarnation Bingo was mostly used as an educational tool to improve numeracy and spelling of children.

The game of Bingo was introduced to the U.S.A. much later, in 1929, and was originally known as Beano, due to the dried beans used by players to mark card numbers.  The game was really popularised by a New York toy salesman called Edwin Lowe.  Lowe was intrigued how absorbed players became when engaged in a game of Beano, and after hearing one winning player mistakenly shout ‘Bingo’ instead of ‘Beano’, the popular name for the modern game was born.

Taking the starting point of the existing game of Beano, Lowe further developed Bingo with the help of a maths professor resident at Columbia University called Carl Leffler .  Leffler was hired to expand the possible number of Bingo card combinations, and subsequently produced 6000 different cards by 1930.  This newly expanded range of combinations widened the possible scope of the game.  Soon afterwards, Bingo was identified by the Catholic Church as a possible way of fund raising, and to this day you’ll still find many regular games of Bingo held in church halls across the world.

The origins of the British version of Bingo are unclear, but it is hard to imagine the game developing in isolation from the original Italian Lotto, and the French and German versions of the game that came afterwards.  The main difference between American Bingo, and the British game of Bingo -  formerly known as ‘House’ or Housie’ – is the size of the card grid containing the numbers.  In Britain and the Commonwealth, Bingo is usually played on a card or printed ticket containing fifteen numbers on three lines.  In the U.S, the normal formation is five by five, or in other words twenty five numbers arranged in five vertical columns of five numbers each.  The other significant difference in games occurring on different sides of the Atlantic is the way the numbers are called.  In British bingo, each number called has a nickname, perhaps the most famous being the ‘Two Fat Ladies’ evoked by the number 88.

Celebrating one of the most popular days in a year – Valentine’s Day – Jagex Games Studio (Runescape developer) announced multiple events on the 12-13^th February weekend that will take place in the Wilderness player verses player arena.

Runescape is one of the worlds’ most popular free MMORPG (actually, according to Guiness World Records it is the most popular MMORPG game) and the Valentine’s Day Massacre announced for the weekend is announced to be a bloodthirsty one. This biggest ever fight-a-thon event will allow players to create their own special death-inducing events and the best clans will be fighting in the Player Killing Run In event, may the best clan win!

On the other hand, if you are not such a bloodthirsty person you can also get involved in Jagex’ events, one of them represents a great opportunity for all players that prefer crafting and trading items instead of bloody fights. This marketplace could literally gain you the well desired wealth by supplying items for fighting clans. Another great event is represented by a competition where each and every player can guess the level of carnage this Valentine’s Day Massacre will reach.

Following RunesScape’s first player referendum (where 1.2 million players participated), the Wilderness arena and free trade were reintroduced in the game, with a staggering over 90% votes pro – over 33 trillion gold pieces worth of items have been traded in the first week after reinstatement.

The eagerly anticipated sequel to the biggest selling video game in history goes on sale tonight.

Thousands of gamers are expected to queue at over 400 stores in the UK to get their hands on a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The title goes on sale at midnight, with special events being held in cities across the globe.

Its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, generated more than $1 billion (£618) in sales.

That puts it in an elite club of billion-dollar entertainment giants such as James Cameron’s Titanic and Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is the seventh game in the series and the third to be developed by US based developer Treyarch.

Piers Harding-Rolls, an analyst with Screen Digest, told BBC News that he thought Black Ops would do as well, if not better, that Modern Warfare 2.
“We’re looking up to 18 million units sold worldwide, putting it in the same league as Modern Warfare 2,” he said.

“This edition also has a [Nintendo] Wii version and while the average Wii owner probably won’t be that interested, it does mean that the potential market is a bit bigger than before,” he added.

Gamers play as a CIA operative or Special Forces agent; members of a clandestine agency tasked with uncovering a Soviet chemical weapon code named Nova-6 during the Cold War.

In addition to standard ground combat, Treyarch have added a mission in which users control a Russian Hind helicopter, as well as flying US spy planes.

There is also a bonus multi player level where users have to defend Washington from waves of flesh-eating zombies.

Bingo is one of those games that you cannot quite categorise accurately. It is not a serious gambling game because the stakes are just too low. It does not fit into the category of pastime games such as scrabble or monopoly because you do with win real cash at Bingo, at least when played at bingo hall or online.

The online aspect of Bingo, like many things associated with the Internet is relatively new. Though its new its is increasing in popularity at an exponential rate with the online bingo trying harder than its offline counterpart to give players excitement and fun. Some of the best online bingo are provided not by enthusiast who play the game for fun but by gaming companies who invent significant sums of money into the game to transform it from a game played by old ladies at seaside resort town to a modern dynamic and exciting online games.

Though online bingo is gaining grounds, the online version rather than take business away from the traditional bingo seem to be enhancing it with report that more traditional players of the game still go to bingo hall and also play online.

The traditional bingo is a great way to socialise as friends, usually older ladies tends to make a night out out of bingo. But like many things in life, anything with advantages tends to have its disadvantages. While traditional bingo is a great way to socialise and meet up with friends, it can also be a way of losing friend.

A case in point is the reported falling out of two long-standing bingo buddies, Muriel Harrison and her bingo partner Sandra Fowler-McAllister. The two ladies ended up in court after Sandra Fowler-McAllister refused to share a winning of £10,000 50-50 with Muriel Harrison.

Ms Sandra Fowler-McAllister did offer her long time bingo friend 20% of the winnings but Ms Harrison said they had an agreement that their winning should be split in half. The case was dismissed as the friends never had a written agreement. A situation like this in highly unlikely to happen if you play online bingo.

Number calling
One of the things that significantly differentiates bingo halls from online bingos is the number calling. Not only has a lot of humour been introduced into the number calling but it has become an art that can be made to sound like poetry or prose with funny names being given to numbers for example fat ladies for 888 and other witty substitutes for real numbers. But you need to pay close attention as the numbers are usually called very quickly.

Gaming software and other gaming applications have opened up a lot of opportunity and many companies have been able to sell hardware as well as other stuff necessary for people to take part in games that can be played online. One such application that has become very popular over the years is the online bingo game and many people have found that they can have a good time playing this game online from the comfort of their home.

However, certain tips need to be kept in mind by you when playing online bingo.
They are:
a) Sites that offer good starting bonuses need not be the best sites.

b) Play at sites that are reputed and have stood the test of time. You must not sign up at a site that has just started irrespective of the bonus or incentives they offer to new members. They could turn out to be frauds and you could lose your money. You can get reviews about the sites that are good and can take that as guidance.

c) Check out whether the online bingo site in question has the right gamble certificates. These certificates indicate that the site working is audited regularly and they maintain fairness in play. You can find the evidence of such certificates on the site itself and if you do not find them, move on to another site.

d) Verify whether the site has adequate security safeguards and whether they are up to date.

e) Find out if the site has a number through which you can get customer service support. You must also be able to reach them on email for any problems related to your account. The site administrator must also be accessible in case you have problems with the customer service access. This mode of contact is extremely important and any site that does not display the number and site administration information is not worth your time or effort.

f) Sign up for online bingo sites that have a good blend of promotional offers that they keep coming up with on a regular basis. If a site is able to put up a schedule of their activities and the different games on offer, then it means that the site is an organized one and wants to help players make their own plans. Such sites also offer the flexibility to players to play for a longer time and help players to control their spending of money.
