Super MNC Character Bio - Veteran

From Pittsburgh's Skid Row to sold out arena's all over the world and back again, Victor Lisowski, who earned the nickname "The Veteran" after his stint with the U.S. intervention in the war between Madagascar and Greenland, shone as one of professional wrestling's biggest stars. Know for his massive form, dark charisma and intense yet deliberate psychological attacks during interviews, the Veteran scared and delighted audiences for over five decades until the volume of stitches, broken bones, pinched nerves and knee replacements proved too much to endure, even for "the man with the hundred megaton biceps".

 As the world of wrestling moved on, The Veteran waged mat wars under the increasingly smaller spotlight until his retirement match, which was held in the same gymnasium where he had trained as a rookie.

 As it is with all true heroes however, Lisowski would never be forgotten. His legend endured long after his passing, and when Monday Night Combat issued a poll to its fans to see which deceased figure from history they'd like to see cloned, the Veteran was the overwhelming favourite, beating former child actor Tiffany Brissette (who played Vicki the Robot on the 20th century episodic television show "Small Wonder") and George Washington, respectively.

Commander Video

Bit.Trip Runner is the fourth installment of the Bit.Trip series. Each game revolves around the adventures of a character named "Commander Video", and features "a crazy mix of 80s aesthetics and modern game design". The styles of the games range from pong remakes, platforming, and shooting. Each game in the series features a chiptune-inspired soundtrack, but a different style of rhythm-based gameplay in each.

The gameplay involves players controlling Commander Video and making him jump, slide, kick, and more through various obstacles in his path. The special guest band Anamanaguchi provides menu and credits music.

Though it has over 50 levels, breaking the 3 level norm of the last games, these levels are divided evenly amongst 3 zones, which each have their own distinct background and musical feel; each zone houses twelve levels, including a boss level. For every level (except boss levels) there is a retro challenge awarded should the player collect all gold bars in the normal level. Each retro challenge is harder than the normal level and usually has more gold bars. The perfect completion of a retro challenge will award players with an exclamation point beside the stage and the word "PERFECT" beside the score in the scoreboard, but only if they have done everything "extra" (i.e., jumping on top of springboards that they do not need to in order to finish) in the level beforehand.

Bit.Trip Runner won the 2011 Independent Games Festival (IGF) Excellence in Visual Arts award on February 28, 2011.

Revenge

Shank is a side scrolling beat 'em up with a comic book art style. In the game the player controls Shank, an ex-mob hitman. The game features three main types of weaponry: a pair of knives, heavy melee weapons (the starting one is a chainsaw) and firearms (the starting one is a pair of pistols). Each weapon is assigned to a controller button, and the attacks can be combined to perform various combos. The player can collect temporary-use weaponry from fallen enemies, such as machine guns and rifles, as well as grenades.

Shank has other attacks such as multiple grapple attacks, throw enemies, and is able to perform a pounce maneuver, in which he jumps in the air and lands on a nearby enemy. Some acrobatic abilities can also be performed, such as swinging from lampposts or other tall structures, and running along the front of things such as billboards.



Shank features a cooperative campaign which is a prequel to the single-player campaign^. The multiplayer allows players to play as Shank and his partner-in-crime Falcone. In this mode players are often required to work as a team to accomplish objectives, such as defeating level bosses. Players can combine moves for special attacks with the characters perform together. Also available is the ability to revive a fallen teammate should they die in combat.

The Fate of Two Worlds

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom. It features Capcom's own characters and characters from Marvel Comics. The game features the same tag-based team feature as previous installments of the series, where each player chooses three characters that can be swapped at any point during a match. The aim of the game is to use various attacks to drain your opponent's health bars and defeat all of their characters or have the most cumulative health when time runs out. It is the first game in the franchise to feature three-dimensional character models as opposed to two-dimensional sprites, though game play remains restricted to two-dimensions, allowing characters to move only backward, forward, or straight up into the air. The full retail roster features 36 characters. Two additional characters are also available as downloadable content. Examples include: The Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, Ryu, Zero, Albert Wesker.

Grease Monkey

So I've recently acquired a part time job. I work with my dad at a machine shop down in Stoney Creek called Millen Manufacturing.

My job mainly consists of doing grunt work such as taking out garbage and cleaning around the shop. The hours are fantastic too, I finish school at about quarter after 12 and I get to work at about 1 PM. I only work till about 4 and I'm getting paid $12 an hour. For me, that is amazing pay as I'm not in desperate need for money.

I am going to try and set certain workdays for myself as I currently work every weekday, I'm thinking maybe every other day or Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

The New Monday Night Sport

The boys at Uber Entertainment are making a sequel to their hit game, Monday Night Combat. This new game is titled "Super Monday Night Combat" and is currently in an open beta.

This new game will be somewhat of a direct upgrade of the first and will be a free-to-play game.

The Classic Pros return from Monday Night Combat to join a roster of new Pros in Super Monday Night Combat. All veteran classes in Super Monday Night Combat have a special 'Veteran' uniform for sale, comprised of gold-plated armor sections. Like the new pros, the Veterans are divided up into different archetypes, based on the role they best serve and the abilities at their disposal.

Commandos are the 'specialists'. Having complex skills, high base speed and low health, Commandos are arguably the hardest type of Pro to learn. They harass, ambush and finish off enemies, slow them down, and generally just make the game more difficult for the enemy team.

Strikers are 'Jack-of-All-Trades' Pros, combining medium health and high mobility to get around the arena quickly. As such, Striker pros tend to have low-to-moderate difficulty ratings, making them popular both with players new to Monday Night Combat, and veterans looking to learn how the rules have changed.

Enforcers are the offensive brutes of the team, having high health, high short-range damage, but low speed. They generally act as the escorts for the Bot offensive, moving with them to cut down enemy Bots and Pros.


If Commandos make the game harder for the enemy, then Defenders make it easier for their teammates. Designed to heal or buff teammates as well as lock down areas, Defenders are one of the most important members of a team's composition.

Sharpshooters, rely primarily on player accuracy and high burst damage to support their team from a distance. With much of their usefulness resting on the skill of the player, the Sharpshooters tend to be the most unforgiving of a player's mistakes.

The Third Street Saints

So, I've picked up a fairly new game called Saints Row: The Third and I must say that it is one of the craziest and most bizarre games I have ever played.

Saints Row: The Third retains the blend of an action-adventure in an open world. The player, as the leader of the Third Street Saints, can explore the new city of Steelport, performing main missions that progress the game's story, and side missions. These side missions include Activities, minigames, Strongholds, rival gang bases that can be taken over to control a section of Steelport and Flashpoints, on-the-spot gang warfare. Money can be used to purchase clothing items, weapons and cars, or may be used to upgrade weapons and cars, such as adding scopes or extra barrels to a weapon, which are then stored in the player's arsenal. Money can also be used to upgrade the Saints gang, customizing their appearance, outfits, and headquarters. The "Initiation Station" system allows players to upload their character creations to The Third's online community, and download other players' creations to use with their save game.

While completing some missions, the player may be given a choice of options to finalize the mission. For example, the player has the option of using a gigantic bomb to demolish one of the enemy skyscrapers in the city; though they will gain a great deal of respect for the action, it will alter the city's skyline for the rest of the game and cause non-player characters to react differently to the player, while leaving the building standing allows it to be used as a headquarters for the Saints.



In addition to the single-player mode, the game can be played co-operatively with another player. As in Saints Row 2, the second player can participate in all missions and activities, earning credit for their completion.

In my opinion, this is the game of the year. Any game that features 80s style arcade tanks, zombies, and Burt Reynolds as the Mayor deserves the award.
