MUSIC OF THE GAME ALONE IN THE DARK : THE NEW NIGHTMARE (43 tracks available on the band website)

EDGE - February 2000 - England - (PS One / Dreamcast versions)
Like all horror games, audio is a crucial role in Alone in the dark IV and the final stop on Edge's exploration of Darkworks is the music and sound effects department. Early versions of the soundtrack are somewhat surprising - despite the game's almost gothic milieu, it veers from the expected choral chants to industrial guitars redolent of Nine Inch Nails. The composers point to movies such as The Matrix, Scream, Nikita and Fight Club - all using non-symphonic backdrops to good effect. It's testament to the power of sound that where a monster mauling Edward in an out-of-context animation snippet merely provokes nods of admiration, the equivalent audio file has everyone recoiling in horror. All the samples are newly captured from the real world, wich the wide variety of locations in the game make especially difficult. Imagine recording enough samples for the hero's footsteps to cater for the wide variety of terrain. It must prove exhausting.

JOYPAD - April 2000 - France - (PS One version)
An extreme quality characterises the sound environment. "One of our goals was to create a totally original sound environment" says Thierry Desseaux (sound designer). Unusually, the sound staff didn't use any soundbank. With a DAT and two microphones, Thierry and Jean-Sébastien travelled to real locations with the same mood as used in the game. "It was a bit scary to find ourselves recording at moonlight in a cemetery, an old mortuary site or in a cave" confesses Thierry. The same technique has been used to simulate the weapons. Screams of different monsters were done through the mixing of real animal screams and human screams ! That part of the process took them six month to create all the in-game sound including something like 63 footsteps. You can't say that of Code Veronica ! Concerning the music, Thierry and Jean-Sébastien chose a renowned composer to add the sound track to the FMV and they kept the in-game tracks for their own. Our sound-designers opted for an industrial-gothic mix very oppressive, which recalls Nine Inch Nails. But again they avoided the easy-noisy-boring work (as in Silent Hill) in order to create the good mood in one hand, and in the other hand to keep players awake. It means that the music will be interactive. It will follow the actions of the hero toward the different locations in the game. Lastly, Thierry and Jean-Sébastien were inspired by movies like The Crow, Matrix, Seven, Fight Club… Seems to me that it could have been worse, doesn't it ! As you can feel all the elements have been put together in order to spook you in front of your screen.

TOTALVIDEOGAMES.COM - May 2001 - England - (PS One version)
http://www.totalvideogames.com/articles/Alone_In_The_Dark_The_New_Nightmare_14.htm
The Sound in the game is fantastic, and once again a pure work of genius ; I have mentioned this in my reviews before, and this is just another example of how sound in a game of this genre can really make it more complete. From the cracking of the lightning or the screaming of deadly creatures, you should have your TV set on high with the curtains closed for the ultimate spooky effect.

GAME POWER AUSTRALIA - June 2001 - Australia - (PS One version)
The game's audio is brilliant, the ambiance generated by the music is subtle, yet effective.
Sound : 8.5 / 10

PS2 FANTASY - February 2002 - USA - (Playstation 2 version)
Sounds are surely the best feature of Alone in the dark : the new nightmare. Sounds effects are varied, scary and are a strong support to the weak graphics of the game. From mysterious whispers to sinister groans, the developers created an excellent scary background for the adventure.
There are good orchestral themes that fit nicely the atmosphere of the game.
Sound : 8 / 10

Monkey testing is an established testing process in the field of Software Testing. The Dumb Monkey the dumb Monkey is an established testing process by which a randomized program "walks" through a path of a program. The dumb monkey randomly traverses a path in the program. After a long time the monkey will "walk" through all possible paths of the program. The benefit of the "dumb" monkey is that it illustrates all possible paths through a program. This can be useful in programs that have complex paths. Monkey Labor The term "monkey labor" refers to testing hours that are completed through simple automation. The term comes from the slang term Code Monkey (which is the person who typically creates the Dumb Monkey). The term monkey labor is used as a joke, it is in fact a positive effect of automated test processes. Monkey Cloud A monkey cloud is a cloud of testing "monkeys" these "monkeys" are then used to test programs across a distributed computing network.

John Nutt

This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. John Nutt Piratical career Type Pirate Years active 1620-1623 Rank Captain Base of operations Tourbay John Nutt (fl. 1620-1623) was a 17th century English pirate. He was one of the more notorious brigands of his time raiding the coast of southern Canada and western England for over three years before his capture by Sir John Eliot in 1623. His arrest and conviction caused a scandal in the English court, Nutt having paid Eliot ₤500 pounds in exchange for a pardon, and was eventually released by the Secretary of State George Calvert. Biography Born in Lympstone, England, John Nutt arrived in Newfoundland as a gunner on a Dartmouth ship around 1620. He decided to settle in the area permenantly and moved his family to live in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador. He soon organized a small crew with whom he siezed a small French fishing boat as well as two other French ships (another account claims the ships were English and Flemmish) during the summer of 1621 before returning to the western coast of England. He would continue using unemployed sailors, patricularly those conscripted to press gangs, and actually lured away a significant number away from the British Royal Navy paying regular wages and commissions. He would also offer his services to protect French and English settlements including the Colony of Avalon then under the leadership of George Calvert. He would continue raiding shipping both in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Irish Sea for over three years, often avoiding attempts to apprehend him, before he requested a royal pardon from John Eliot, the Vice Admiral of Devon. Eliot agreed in exchange for a ₤500 pound bond, however he was arrested by Eliot and imprisoned once back in England. Tried and convicted for piracy, Nutt was about to be hanged when George Calvert, then Secretary of State, intervened on his behalf having been a friend and associate of his while Nutt and his family were living in the Avalon Colony. Nutt was given his pardon and also granted ₤100 pounds in compensation while Eliot, for his betrayal, was charged with malfeasance in office and imprisoned. References Further reading Amery, John S.

Toni Llamaboots

Toni Llamaboots, originally from the country of the Dutch, was a world renown jungle ball player. He was the only recorded player to ever have a 7 bagger. Having only a leg to swing his bat with he would spin it quickly around his massive foot and hit double breaking balls off of Satchel Page. When playing defense Toni was forced to throw the ball with his foot that he used for all other daily activities as he had no hands or arms. When playing with the Aztecs he discovered that a tree was necessary to throw behind as the natives were quite fond of trying to hit Toni. The tree would later develop into what we now know as a L-screen, commonly used in baseball.

Guardia Lamblia

Overview

Guardia Lamblia is a disease linked to a single-celled intestinal parasite, generally contracted through the drinking of river or well-water that is contaminated by animal droppings. In early stages, it can cause gas. Untreated, it can cause severe diarrhea or malabsorption of nutrients. These can lead to dehydration or starvation deaths in extreme cases.

One popular rumor has it that actress Heather O'Rourke who played the young girl from Poltergeist died from Guardia Lamblia. This is not the case. Actually, she died from the toxicity released by a bowel obstruction caused by another kind of intestinal ailment called Crohn's Disease.

Collages.net, Inc

Collages.net is an online posting service, professional photo lab, and product supplier based out of Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1999 by Kevin Casey and Normand Racine, Collages.net initially focused its attention on online posting, but has since expanded into the printing, product, and marketing fields as well. Nowadays, Collages.net contains a client base of over 10,000 professional photographers across the United States and generates over 1.5 million different event website visits per month.

Company History

In 1999, Kevin Casey and Normand Racine launched the original model of Collages.net in Newtown, Pennsylvania, moving the company soon afterwards to a Langhorne, Pennsylvania office in 2000. With 2001 came the introduction of new event sites, with the ability for photographers to integrate their studio websites directly with Collages.net.

In 2003, Collages.net introduced MyLabPartner.net, a service that integrated outside professional photo labs across the U.S. with Collages.net through the use of ROES software. Although the integration dissolved with the establishment of Collages.net’s own color lab in 2006, this early alliance initiated Collages.net’s access into the printing industry.

Collages.net released its customizable event sites in 2005, and, from that point on, Collages.net evolved into a more multi-faceted service. 2006 brought the launch of its desktop software, collagesDesktop™, and its private partnership with a photo lab quickly resulted in the establishment of collagesColor™ in the same year.

In 2007, Collages.net initiated its Build Your Brand educational resource and began to concentrate heavily on product development. Four new products were launched in 2007 alone – gallery wraps, proof books, albums, and greeting cards.

Services include online posting, professional printing, products and educational resources.
