![]() Update (July 8): Fallout Tactics was incorrectly labelled a Bethesda game this has been updated. “My admiration and thanks to the incomparable creative visionary Todd Howard, audio director extraordinaire Mark Lampert, and the entire BGS family, for their daring artistic ambition and the honor of entrusting me with scoring their next groundbreaking experience.”Īs things stand, Starfield is chalked up for a Novemrelease, landing on Microsoft Windows and the Xbox Series X and S as a console exclusive. ![]() looking forward to sharing our unique, classical sci-fi direction for Starfield. The wait for a Starfield trailer proved too much for one fan, who decided that, rather than creating doors or holding out for the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, they’d make one of their own. Speaking of this next big project, Zur said: “I would like to invite you on an exciting new musical journey I’ve been on for the past several years. The lengthy trailer, shown during a joint presentation with other Xbox Game Studios projects, and timed to coincide with the Summer Games Fest, also established the game’s storyline. The official trailer is uploaded online with. During Microsoft and Bethesda’s highly-anticipated E3 showcase, the first official trailer for Starfield was revealed. Join the Constellation team with this first in-engine look at Bethesda's Starfield, releasing November 11th, 2022. Starfield s E3 2021 trailer was incredibly detailed, leaving fans coming back for more to look for Easter eggs, secrets, and hints of what is to come. Our good friend and long-time collaborator Inon Zur has created a beautiful and wondrous score for Starfield. Starfield reveal trailer and concept art. Todd Howard himself said: “One of the first things we start with on a project is the music. As such, the release of this new trailer on the 23rd is said to be dropping as a way for Howard and Spencer to have new things to say about the game.It appears to have been an easy choice for Bethesda Game Studios. Meet the members of Constellation and how they shape your adventures in Starfield, and see some of the systems and locations you'll explore. This event is said to also see both Howard and Spencer interacting with members of the press wherein they will talk a bit more about what Starfield will have in store. ![]() On February 24th, Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard is set to present Xbox head, Phil Spencer, with a lifetime achievement award at the DICE Awards. While this notion might sound unbelievable on its own, there is one additional reason that suggests this rumor could be plausible. This is because all the way back in 2011, Bethesda also released a new trailer for Skyrim on this same date. With this in mind, the user stated that a new trailer for Starfield will be dropping on February 23, 2022. This is primarily because both games will have launched on the same date (November 11) once Starfield does release. On November 11, Todd made an appearance on Reddit where he hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) thread in the /r/IAmA subreddit. Starfield is expected to release in 2023. The gameplay gave insight to the games grounded take on the sci-fi genre, including its weapons which felt believable to real firearms, instead of more fantastical elements like lasers. In a rumor that originated on 4chan, one user suggested that Bethesda is planning to stick to the same sort of marketing schedule for Starfield that it did with The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Description: During Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, Bethesda revealed an in-depth look into Starfields combat. ![]() Coupled with a likable cast of characters, an imminent threat of danger, and mystery to solve, I found myself hooked on learning 'what happens next'. It's actually quite remarkable how well time-jumping is handled to give the story a unique take while using a plot device that often leads to confounding messes in other fiction. While it may not be the most ambitious plot, it offers a compact, well-crafted narrative that makes exceptional use of the time-travel motif without getting too complex or overbearing. Radiant Historia's storyline is certainly of one its strongest aspects. Eruca and Stocke's chance meeting would change both their destinies as well as that of Vainqueur. One of the key players in the storyline is that of Princess Eruca of the nation of Granorg, the nation Stocke and Alistel are fighting against. He bounces between two different timelines, known as Standard History and Alternate History, where he meets people from the continent's many civilizations while slowly unveiling the workings of the world. Throughout the game, not only must Stocke continue his duties in the drawn-out war, but he also learns more and more about the nature of Vainqueur, the desertification, and how it might be stopped. unless Stocke can rewrite and shape history in just the right way to find the one sliver of possibility that could save the world. Desertification will bring the world to annihilation. ![]() These beings, Teo and Lippti, tell Stocke that the destruction of the world is, quite literally, all but inevitable. This book allows Stocke to meet two mysterious beings in a time-less world known as Historia. While working as an agent of the state, he soon finds himself with a mysterious magical book known as the White Chronicle, a tome that grants him the power to travel back and forth through time. Stocke is a special agent for the nation of Alistel, working in covert operations to acquire information and perform other tasks not suited to the regular military. This strange phenomenon is referred to as desertification, and there seems to be no end in sight. For many years, the land has been withering away, turning into sand, and the people of Vainqueur begin to clash over the ever-diminishing natural resources available. Radiant Historia tells the story about the continent of Vainqueur and the lengthy strife that has arisen between the lands' various nations. ![]() If you want to see a rundown of what's new, you can find that here. While Perfect Chronology is mostly the same game as before, there are several notable additions in this new release both in terms of presentation and gameplay content. In what has become typical Atlus fashion, Radiant Historia is getting an enhanced re-release with Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, and we were certainly eager to see the game again. ![]() It offered something just a little bit different and original, and it hadn't been followed up on until now. Back in 2011, we sang praises of the game in our review. A stand-alone RPG developed by Atlus not connected to their key franchises like Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, or Etrian Odyssey. Radiant Historia on the Nintendo DS is quite a remarkable game. ![]() East northeast wind to 11 MPH, gusting to 17 MPH. Northeast wind to 11 MPH, gusting to 17 MPH.ĭay: Mostly sunny.

Microsoft and Windows Phone are not in a position to set any standards or requirements and neither are we, the SMALL user base of WP gamers. Why should a developer feel forced to make Xbox achievements for a game that is on the 3rd place ecosystem, the smallest market share, the number one device is the underpowered 520 that can't run the games at full fidelity if even at all, that results in less revenue for the developer? Why should they invest their budget and time to have to think up and integrate achievements that are not in their game on iOS and Android for such a small return on investment? What you are doing at best is making dev studios desire to put LESS efforts into their WP conversions (poorer quality ports, delays in releases) and at worst, you may even be fueling their sales data that brings about a decision to NOT support Windows Phone anymore. Let's be real, by some of you insisting on not buying games because they lack Xbox integration, you are NOT, I repeat, NOT forcing the hand of the developer to include Xbox Achievements. Hmmm, ignorance and anger? I'm not angry nor ignorant of the fact that to develop a game, it is a financial investment for a company and their return on investment or lack there of determines if they will continue to support a platform or not. Pay and you unlock the first Xbox Achievement "Bamboozled". Watch out for our next game, WiFi Toggle Racing, Xbox Enabled and the FREE trial cost $.99 (its free to look at screenshots). Thank you for supporting Windows Phone GAME developers and all the hard work and time it takes to develop a worthwhile game! Maybe I will name it X-Chieve Boxing and when you open it, you will get Rick Rolled but then a banner will come across the top that says Achievement Unlocked but then another Rick Rolled video will play signifying that the Xbox Achievement doesn't exist and that you, paying Windows Phone customer, got nothing, no detailed graphics, no story, no sound, no fun, no Xbox Achievement and especially, no refund. After all, you don't care about the games, you care about Xbox Achievements. I should make the worst game ever, but make it Xbox enabled, maybe even hide malware in it, only spend about an 10 minutes of dev time (ensuring the malware works) and sell it to you and all your Xbox Enabled, ecosystem hurting, none developer supporting friends. ![]() It is showing available from my Nokia Lumia 520 and you can find Race Illegal: High Speed 3D here in the Windows Phone Store. Race Illegal: High Speed 3D is a free, ad-supported game that is available for Windows Phone 8. I think if you add a dash more pop to the graphics and tighten up the steering response, it could be a better game (that and fix the game load bugs). The frequency wasn’t enough to drive me to uninstall the game but it was noticeable.Īll in all, Race Illegal: High Speed 3D is a nice racing game for Windows Phone 8. It is a nice break from racing the computer.Īs far as stability goes, I did experience a few endless load screens that required me to exit the game and restart to clear. The multiplayer games are also a nice touch and gives Race Illegal: High Speed 3D a little more staying power. The game screen for races is ad-free, which is a rather nice thing, and gives you an un-obstructed view of game play. 31.The ad-supported version isn’t terrible with ads showing up on menu pages and in transition between game play and menus.

The AACSB only accredits those schools providing the Big 4 demanded curricula, eliminating from accreditation any school offering alternative small-business accounting education tracks to the exclusion of nearly ½ of American businesses. Educators themselves also bear great responsibility for their failure to address or inform students about small business providing so much to America. This circle is caused by the power wielded by the Big 4 firms over educators in the form of accreditation in college accounting programs, administered by the AACSB. This “Circle of Death” has led to a rapid demise of the very firms advising small business, the most critical part of the American business growth cycle. The burgeoning problem is exacerbated by educators leading students to work exclusively in Big 4 firms, educating their students exclusively in Big 4 curriculum and educators that were employed in a Big 4 oriented educate-train-work-educate cycle. Smaller firms cannot pay competitive salaries because the graduates must be expensively retrained in small business accounting needs. The lack of new entrants comes from two factors: first a nationwide decline in accounting students (none of whom get hired by small firms) and second because small firms charge too little for their services to be able to pay comparable salaries. This small business group of accountants is declining at an alarming rate because of aging, retirement and, primarily, lack of new entrants in the field. Thus, small firms provide indispensable advisory services to small businesses that account for nearly all new job creation and ½ of GDP. Similar to most small firms, my firm stopped auditing over 20 years ago and stopped performing reviews over 10 years ago because of this lack of client or creditor demand. The need for formal financial statements is rare because lenders realize the high cost of audited financials is not beneficial to either party, so usually a tax return or basic prepared or compiled financial statement is provided. Small business has unique needs for accounting services: primarily tax and advising, and secondarily day-to-day accounting needs to act as de-facto controllers and decision makers. These businesses have their financial advisory needs served by hundreds of thousands of small firm accountants and CPAs nationwide. Bob has given us permission to reprint in full and we are enthusiastically doing so in the hopes it will spark much-needed conversation about one of the profession’s most significant issues: the Big 4 oligopoly.Īccording to the SBA, small business generates about 44% of GDP in America and 2/3 of new jobs annually. note: the following is penned by Bob Jennings CPA, EA for his newsletter. ![]() Optioned LHP Jordan Montgomery to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
