Thus, the skeleton army was waiting when the Ninja emerged from the caves. The Ninja soon located the Scythe of Quakes and hoped to sneak out while the Skulkin were busy, but Jay unintentionally alerted the skeletons to their presence. They caught up with him at a Skulkin lookout tower where Zane used a shuriken to steal the map to Golden Weapons from Samukai. Upon arriving at the Caves of Despair, Kai ran off on his own, and Zane was forced to follow with Cole and Jay. After Wu explained their purpose, he announced that they would now leave to claim the first Golden Weapon and rescue Kai's sister Nya. Wu pronounced him the white Ninja of Ice, the Ninja with the sixth sense. Master Wu then used his Spinjitzu to give them all-new outfits, Zane gaining a white Ninja gi. At first, Jay, Cole, and Zane all objected but consented to Master Wu's will. After this, Master Wu broke up the fight and revealed that Kai was to join their ninja team.

Pilot episodes Way of the NinjaĪfter they had trained together for a time, Master Wu assigned them to attack his newest student, Kai, as part of the latter's final test. He began training at the Monastery of Spinjitzu and started to learn the way of the Ninja. Master Wu found Zane meditating at the bottom of a frozen pond, and recruited him as a member of his team of Ninja, alongside Cole and Jay. Īfter being "reset," Zane went out into the world, believing that he was an orphan, with no recollection of his past memories. Expressing his love one more time, the dying inventor's final act was to turn off Zane's "Memory Switch," so his son would be spared the pain of heartbreak as he moved into the next stage of his life. Julien told the saddened Zane that he had a great destiny ahead of him and told him that he was built to protect others and that he had become the son Dr. Julien passed away from old age, with Zane at his side. After Zane asked whether Wu needed wood chopped, Wu replied that he did not, but that someday, Zane would be needed to accomplish a far greater task than he could have imagined. The next day, Master Wu visited to find Zane chopping wood.

Useful as the service is for busy traders, banks are worried about employees using Instant Bloomberg chatrooms to manipulate markets or share information with outside firms. The instant messaging system, known as Instant Bloomberg, has become a sore spot for many financial institutions, and earlier this week, some of the world's biggest banks announced they were considering limiting employees' access to chatrooms. This summer, Bloomberg News admitted that some of its reporters had used the terminals to snoop on companies and track employees logging in, to advance its reporting. The ability to see when users are logged on at their desks has even been cause for some scandal. By typing in the woman's (mildly unusual) first name and employer, the hedge fund trader from the cab was able to directly message the analyst (provided she was logged on) and could also see her phone number, email address, and employment history. In the late morning, a message popped up in the terminal's proprietary instant messaging service: "How's the rest of your day going." She saw the first name and recognized who it was immediately: the guy from the cab.īloomberg terminals, the big iconic machines that bankers and traders use primarily to track markets and place trades and each of which costs companies over $20,000 per year to rent, also have an internal instant messaging system with which you can find and message anyone else who is logged in - really easily. When she got to her desk, she logged in to her Bloomberg terminal and started to work. She dropped him off first, and a few blocks later, got out at her office building. He said that he worked at a hedge fund, and she shared only her first name and the name of the company for which she worked (both of which she asked not be mentioned here). He obliged.ĭuring the short ride, they exchanged pleasantries, and he asked if she shared cabs often. The tailored suit, she thought, was a sign he was likely headed uptown as well, and so, being cold and late, she sprinted across the street to ask if they might share. He was about to steal the taxi she thought would be hers. On a particularly snowy morning last winter, a young female research analyst at a boutique investment bank in New York was trying to catch a cab up to midtown when she saw a slick twentysomething guy appear in a suit across the street. River City Ransom had two attack buttons. From there, the game expands upon the River City Ransom foundation with a more involved combat system and sharper focus on teamwork. All the key traits of that game (RPG-style skill and stat building in-game shops and restaurants big-head-little-body beat-downs the ability to use just about anything, including downed enemies and allies, as melee weapons) are here. Violence is a key element to the proceedings from the get-go.Īt its core, the game is an unsanctioned sequel to River City Ransom. The game is a four-player, local co-op beat’-em-up. That allows for a lot more surrealism and cartoon violence. While the comic and movie use reality as a base and pepper it with videogame logic whenever possible, the game follows inverse proportions. This game not only faithfully recreates the content of the comics, but when appropriate, it boldly expands upon them as well. Those last three are actually new to the world of Scott Pilgrim. You’ll also get an assortment of ninjas, zombies, and aliens. In the game, you’ll get the lesbian kissing the overprotective, katana-wielding father and a battle against a bionic-armed rock drummer that there just wasn’t time for in the movie. The game doesn’t suffer from the same limitation, which allows for us to get more than an abridged version of Scott’s “fight my new girlfriend’s evil exes” story arc. The movie is pretty loyal, too, but a lot of characters and situations were cut to fit the film’s 112-minute running time. The World: The Game is a loyal adaptation of the original comic. More so than the movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs. MSRP: $9.99 (PSN) / 800 Microsoft Points (XBLA) The World: The Game (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade) See the full review below for all the gory details. It turns out that I shouldn’t have been so sure. I was sure that it would be at least as good as the S cott Pilgrim movie. The game quickly became one of my most anticipated titles of the year. 2 character select screen? Sign me the f*ck up. River City Ransom-style gameplay? Art by Paul Robertson? Super Mario Bros. When the Scott Pilgrim game was announced at PAX East earlier this year, all that changed. This whole Scott Pilgrim thing just seemed to be trying too hard. When I saw trailers for the movie, I felt the same way. I’d known about the comic for years, but I never gave it much of a chance. Weirdly enough, I have the most low profile entry in the Scott Pilgrim trinity to thank for that. The film was great the comics weren’t quite as great but overall, I feel that the time and energy I’ve invested into Scott Pilgrim has been well spent. Over the past month or so, I’ve come to really enjoy the world of Scott Pilgrim. |
