A glimpse of multi-player combat.

Frozen Synapse is a turn-based tactical shooter, featuring pseudo-randomly generated spaces, asychronous multiplayer matchups, and a frenetic pace. It's received considerable critical acclaim since its release last year, and has earned nominations for two awards at the Independent Games Festival. There's also an iPad version, and DLC on the way. We had a chat with Mode 7 to learn more.

Game On: Who are you, and how did you get into game developing?

Paul Taylor: I co-own an indie game development studio with my business partner Ian Hardingham, who is our Lead Designer and Programmer.

I got into indie games through writing music for our first title Determinance. After that we decided to join forces and form a proper company.

Game On: What is Frozen Synapse?

Paul Taylor: We call Frozen Synapse a "simultaneous turn-based" title. Two players face off against each other with a small squad of units. Each player must decide what his units will do in the next five seconds. Once both have made their decisions, they then watch the outcome and see who came out on top!

Ian came up with the idea after playing a lot of an old PC game called Laser Squad Nemesis. He wanted to make a more modern, exciting, instantly-playable version of it that foregrounded the interesting decisions.

Your readers should play it because it's got insanely good reviews and it's brilliantly unique!

Also, we're incredibly humble!

Getting Personal With Mode 7 and Frozen Synapse

Motorcycles are parked on the pavement blocking people from walking past a street corner in downtown Hanoi on January 6, 2012. Vietnam's big cities such as Hanoi are facing serious urban problems like a lack of parking for both motorcycles and cars.

Viet Nam News/Asia News Network Tuesday, Mar 06, 2012

HANOI - While the number of personal vehicles in Ha Noi is increasing rapidly, the capital is still fumbling with solutions to tackle the dire shortage of parking facilities.

Figures from the municipal Transport Department show that there are about 300,000 cars and over 3.8 million motorbikes of various kinds in the city at present, excluding the number of vehicles owned by people commuting from other provinces to work and study.

The number of personal vehicles is increasing by 15 per cent each year, but there are only 1,178 licensed parking lots in the city, meeting just 10 per cent of demand.

Funding for parking facilities is supposed to account for 3 per cent of the traffic development budget, but in Ha Noi, it is just one-tenth of that, according to Vice Chairman of the Ha Noi Planning and Development Association Dao Ngoc Nghiem.

The remaining 90 per cent of vehicle users in the capital use parking lots in apartment blocks, urban areas, agencies, schools, hospitals, roadsides and alleys.

This lack of parking facilities has led to the development of dozens of illegal parking lots on pavements and in vacant public places throughout the city.

With increasing demand and insufficient facilities, municipal authorities had allowed certain pavements, roadsides and alleys to be used for parking as a temporary measure, said deputy head of the Urban Research and Infrastructure Development Institute Luu Duc Hai.

"However, many of our roads were not designed for this use, and parking on them obstructs traffic and adds to congestion," he said.

05-03-2012 16:35 The Attractitude is about helping you improve the way you think and act; improve your attitude so that you can attract all the best in your life; without having to leave the comfort of your home. I have encountered many people that asked me the same type of questions and also faced the same kind of obstacles. The obstacles and objections I heard are: 1- I want to go to a seminar but: - it is far - it is costly (trip + price of seminar) - I don't have the time (I can't leave my kids or my job) 2- I went to a seminar and - when I got back home, I went back to the same old, same old - it was easy when I am away from my everyday concerns but when I am back home, I go back to my usual self - having a coach for a week-end is not enough to improve my life in a long term 3- I don't go to seminars but I buy books - I never come around to reading them - It is easy for them but how do I implement those in MY life - I can't get the answers to my questions Do you feel somewhat the same? After many years, I realized that I cold make a difference in your lives by bringing the coaching to you.

Harvey Klamm, superintendent of Liberty University Online Academy, was recently awarded the 2012 Corporation and Distance Education Excellence in Education Award by AdvancED, a worldwide organization with 80,000 schools.

Lynchburg, Virginia (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

Klamm said the award represented the success of the entire team who work to provide Christian online homeschooling to more than 1,600 students in grades 3-12.

The Academy has grown because of the hard work of dedicated admissions counselors, academic advisors, Academy teachers and the support of the LU leadership and community, he said.

Liberty University Online Academy is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), an accreditation division of AdvancED, its parent organization.

Liberty University, the worlds largest Christian university, opened its online academy in Fall 2007 with 23 students. Now in its fifth year, more than 1,600 students are enrolled from all 50 states and 24 countries.

Klamm said the growth is due to the popularity of online homeschooling, giving students more independence and an engaging educational experience.

Class instruction is formatted on browser-based software that is delivered by Internet services, Klamm said. Courses are primarily text driven with various forms of interactive components built into the lessons, such as videos, animation, and interactive review games. The lessons are designed to actively engage students in the learning process.

He said the program also gives online high school students a competitive edge for college.

The curriculum is college preparatory in design, Klamm said, adding that with its dual enrollment program, students can complete college credit before ever graduating high school.
