query: Role-playing games should be conducted in silence.

pos: Role-playing game A role-playing game ( sometimes spelled roleplaying game and abbreviated to RPG ) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting . Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative , either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or character development . Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines .   There are several forms of RPG . The original form , sometimes called the tabletop RPG , is conducted through discussion , whereas in live action role-playing games ( LARP ) players physically perform their characters actions . In both of these forms , an arranger called a game master ( GM ) usually decides on the rules and setting to be used , acting as referee , while each of the other players plays the role of a single character .   Several varieties of RPG also exist in electronic media , such as multi-player text-based MUDs and their graphics-based successors , massively multiplayer online role-playing games ( MMORPGs ) . Role-playing games also include single-player role-playing video games in which players control a character or team who undertake quests , and may include capabilities that advance using statistical mechanics . These games often share settings and rules with tabletop RPGs , but emphasize character advancement more than collaborative storytelling .   Despite this variety of forms , some game forms such as trading card games and wargames that are related to role-playing games may not be included . Role-playing activity may sometimes be present in such games , but it is not the primary focus . The term is also sometimes used to describe roleplay simulation games and exercises used in teaching , training , and academic research .

neg: Realm of the Mad God Realm of the Mad God is a massively multiplayer online shooter video game created by Wild Shadow Studios ( acquired by Kabam in June 2012 , and later sold to Deca Games in July 2016 ) and Spry Fox . It was in public beta from January 2010 and the browser version launched on June 20 , 2011 . On February 20 , 2012 the game was made available on the digital distribution platform Steam for Microsoft Windows and OS X.   The game has been described as a `` massively-multiplayer cooperative bullet hell shooter '' with an 8 bit pixelated art style . Players control characters who have been transported to the realm of Oryx ( the titular Mad God ) to become food for his many minions and abominations , which the players must dispatch . Central to the design of the game is the fact that character death is permanent . Upon death , the player 's character is lost along with all carried equipment , although the player may store a number of items for safekeeping in a limited capacity vault away from danger . Different character choices in class also help make the game more diverse and help to support teamwork .   The game is free-to-play with optional in-game micro-transactions . Items which can be bought with optional transactions vary from high-level equipment , pets that provide aid to the player ( by attacking enemies , paralyzing enemies , healing the character , restoring the character 's magic points , and acting as a decoy ) , increased storage space , and aesthetic features such as skins , cloths and dyes .   This game client is written in Flash and can be played in-browser on the official site , on Kongregate , or it can be downloaded from the Google Chrome Web Store .

neg: Interactive writing Interactive writing has been described by Swartz ( 2001 ) as `` a teaching method in which children and teacher negotiate what they are going to write and then share the pen to construct the message . '' Interactive writing is a cooperative event in which text is jointly composed and written . The teacher uses the interactive writing session to model reading and writing strategies as he or she engages children in creating text .   Interactive writing was also included by Fountas & Pinnell as part of their balanced literacy framework . Similar to shared writing , interactive writing allows a teacher and students to literally `` share the pen '' to create a joint sentence or message . Typically used in the primary grades , interactive writing is a powerful instructional medium for teaching phonics , spelling principles , rimes , writing conventions , and other key early writing skills . This form of interactive writing is thoroughly explained and detailed in the book Interactive Writing : How Language & Literacy Come Together , K-2 by Andrea McCarrier , Gay Su Pinnell , and Irene Fountas .   Others have described interactive writing differently as a method used in literacy teaching , especially for young children , whereby the students have the opportunity to practice their reading , studying and writing skills in a safe and creative environment .   In this method the teacher ( s ) and students write to each other , by means of letters , dialogue journals or a message board . The students are free to choose the topic and the length of their writings . The teachers respond without correcting or criticising the spelling , grammar or writing style , but rather modelling more appropriate forms of writing .   The aim of this method is to allow children to see literacy as something meaningful and enjoyable , rather than a mind-numbing school activity . The focus is on fluency rather than accuracy . The principle behind it is ` write to learn , not learn to write ' . As such it relates to the learner-centered whole language approach .   The interactive writing method has been described in books such as :   Peyton , Joy Kreeft ( ed . ) ( 1990 ) Students and Teachers Writing Together : Perspectives on Journal Writing .   Robinson , A. , L. Crawford & N. Hall ( 1990 ) some day you will no all about me : Young Children 's Explorations in the World of Letter Writing .

neg: Glorantha Glorantha is a fantasy world created by Greg Stafford . It was first introduced in the board game White Bear and Red Moon ( 1975 ) by Chaosium , and thereafter in a number of other board , roleplaying and computer games , including RuneQuest and HeroQuest , as well as several works of fiction and the computer strategy game King of Dragon Pass . The Gloranthan world is characterised by its complex use of mythology , heavily influenced by the universalist approaches of Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade , its Howardian ethos , its long and distinctive history as a setting for role-playing games , its community development and expansion , and ( unusual among early American fantasy role-playing games ) its relative lack of Tolkienesque influence .   Stafford began imagining Glorantha in 1966 as a way to deepen his own understanding of mythology . He founded the company Chaosium to publish the board wargame White Bear and Red Moon in 1974 ( other sources say 1975 ) , which was set in Glorantha . Chaosium later published other games in the setting , including the critically acclaimed RuneQuest . Various later editions of RuneQuest , the narrative role-playing game HeroQuest ( the first edition of which was published as Hero Wars ) , and the video game King of Dragon Pass were also set in Glorantha , as were several prominent fan efforts . Stafford has also explored the Gloranthan setting in the fantasy novel King of Sartar and a number of unfinished works published under the collective name of `` the Stafford Library '' .   In Glorantha , magic operates from the everyday level of prayers and charms to the creation and maintenance of the world . Heroes make their way in the world , and may also venture into metaphysical realms to gain knowledge and power , at the risk of body and soul . In the more recent material competing magical outlooks , such as theism , shamanism and mysticism , exist to explain the world . Within each metaphysical system , adherents may also compete - such as when theistic worshipers of rival gods battle each other . The world is flat , with a dome-like sky , and it has been shaped in large and small ways by the mythic actions of the gods . The ` historical ' world of Glorantha is in a more or less fallen state , having recovered only partially from a universal battle against Chaos in the mythic Godtime .   Humans are the dominant race , but other sentient beings abound . Some , such as the mystic dragonewts , are unique to Glorantha . Familiar nonhuman races , such as elves and dwarves , are distinct from their common , Tolkienesque portrayals .

neg: Cyberpunk derivatives A number of cyberpunk derivatives have become recognized as distinct subgenres in speculative fiction . These derivatives , though they do not share cyberpunk 's computers-focused setting , may display other qualities drawn from or analogous to cyberpunk : a world built on one particular technology that is extrapolated to a highly sophisticated level ( this may even be a fantastical or anachronistic technology , akin to retro-futurism ) , a gritty transreal urban style , or a particular approach to social themes .   The most successful of these subgenres , Steampunk , has been defined as a `` kind of technological fantasy '' , and others in this category sometimes also incorporate aspects of science fantasy and historical fantasy . Scholars have written of these subgenres ' stylistic place in postmodern literature , and also their ambiguous interaction with the historical perspective of postcolonialism .   American author Bruce Bethke coined the term `` cyberpunk '' in his 1980 short story of the same name , proposing it as a label for a new generation of punk teenagers inspired by the perceptions inherent to the Information Age . The term was quickly appropriated as a label to be applied to the works of William Gibson , Bruce Sterling , John Shirley , Rudy Rucker , Michael Swanwick , Pat Cadigan , Lewis Shiner , Richard Kadrey , and others . Science fiction author Lawrence Person , in defining postcyberpunk , summarized the characteristics of cyberpunk thus :  Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized , alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change , an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information , and invasive modification of the human body .   The relevance of cyberpunk as a genre to punk subculture is debatable and further hampered by the lack of a defined cyberpunk subculture ; where the small cyber movement shares themes with cyberpunk fiction and draws inspiration from punk and goth alike , cyberculture is much more popular though much less defined , encompassing virtual communities and cyberspace in general and typically embracing optimistic anticipations about the future . Cyberpunk is nonetheless regarded as a successful genre , as it ensnared many new readers and provided the sort of movement that postmodern literary critics found alluring . Furthermore , author David Brin argues , cyberpunk made science fiction more attractive and profitable for mainstream media and the visual arts in general .

neg: Story environment A story environment is a physical , adaptive , augmented 3D reality or virtual space that can become host to narratives . Distinct from a story world , these environments can be in close proximity and even overlapping , and may have quite different narrative themes . The stories may be heavily scripted , or be created and shared by the space 's users .   A story environment has potentially five levels :   Level 1 - Shared  Inhabitants create their own stories and shared mythology in a non specific narrative space .  Level 2 - Seeded  Catalyst writer/actor role plays and brings others into their story world in a generic narrative space  Level 3 - Influenced  Static - The environment is rich but only communicates in a visual static way  Living - The environment speaks to the participant , a monologue , pushes story at the participant e.g. ; ghosts , residual lives , placed signage etc. :  Dynamic - The participant has a dialogue with the environment which responds to most things they do . E.g. : objects and bots respond to chat  Level 4 - Character  Environments that are richly rendered with strong back-stories and require the participant to improvise around a range character definitions with others who are also role playing .  Improvised - human  Non-player characters are key role players   Level 5 - Scripted  The most passive where the participant inhabits a scripted part using two methods depending on the technology  Automatically animating the participant and talking for the participant with others ( automated ) in group scenes  The participant delivers a pre-set script as actor

neg: Party (role-playing games) thumb | right | A party of adventurers in Tales of Trolls & Treasures .  A party is a group of characters adventuring together in a role-playing game . In tabletop role-playing , a party is composed of a group of players , occasionally with the addition of non-player character allies ( sometimes called henchmen ) controlled by those players or by the gamemaster . In computer games , the relationship between the party and the players varies considerably . Online role-playing games or MMORPG parties are often , in the above sense , of the same constituency as tabletop parties , except that the allies are always controlled to a lesser or greater extent by the computer AI . In single-player computer games , the player generally controls all party members to a varying degree .   Examples of games which have parties include the tabletop RPG Vampire : the Requiem , the single-player role-playing Baldur 's Gate series , MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft , Anarchy Online and Warhammer Online , and the multi-player computer action-RPG Final Fantasy XI .

neg: Minsc Minsc -LSB- ˈmɪnsk -RSB- is a fictional character in the Baldur 's Gate series of Dungeons & Dragons role-playing video games developed by BioWare . He originated from the pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons sessions held by the lead designer of Baldur 's Gate , James Ohlen , and was expanded upon by the game 's lead writer , Lukas Kristjanson . His video game debut was in Baldur 's Gate as a companion character who can join the player 's party . He also appears in the sequel , Baldur 's Gate II : Shadows of Amn , the expansion , Baldur 's Gate II : Throne of Bhaal , and the 2015 game Baldur 's Gate : Siege of Dragonspear , as well as in promotions relating to the titles . Minsc is voiced by Jim Cummings in his video game appearances .   In the storyline , Minsc is a ranger , originally tasked with serving as a bodyguard to the witch Dynaheir as part of a `` dajemma '' ( rite of passage ) . When Dynaheir is captured by gnolls , Minsc asks the player to help free her , after which both characters are available to assist the player . Eventually , the player 's party is captured and when Dynaheir is killed by the mage Jon Irenicus , Minsc teams with the player in the pursuit of justice . A berserker , he has a strong desire to uphold good and be heroic , though with an extreme fervor that causes those around him to regard him as possibly insane . His animal companion is a hamster named Boo , with whom he often consults .   Since his introduction , Minsc has been regarded as one of the best and most popular elements of the Baldur 's Gate games because of his demeanor and attachment to Boo , according to reviewers from IGN , GameSpot , and Eurogamer . Other reviewers from publications such as CVG have regarded him as one of the greatest aspects of PC gaming , while game developers have noted a preference for him . The web comic Megatokyo added Boo as a character in their publication , while the protagonist took on aspects of Minsc . His absence from subsequent gaming titles has also been lamented by sources such as UGO.com .

neg: Warez group A warez group is a tightly organised group of people involved in creating and/or distributing warez such as movies , music or software ( `` warez '' ) in The Scene . There are different types of these groups in the Scene : release groups and courier groups . Groups often compete , as being the first to bring out a new quality release can bring status and respect - a type of `` vanity contest '' . The warez groups care about the image others have of them . The primary motivation of warez groups is not monetary gain , but the excitement of breaking rules and beating competitors . Although at least two Scene groups have been asking for bitcoin donations , PoWeRUp and spamTV . Individual members of these groups are usually also the authors of cracks and keygens .   There are warez groups publishing new content outside of the Scene , often referred to as P2P groups . They are a lot more accessible for people with access to new movies and are not limited to a set of rules and regulations .   The FBI have been combating warez groups with Operation : Cyberstrike , Operation Buccaneer , Operation Fastlink , Operation Safehaven and Operation Site Down . Similarly , the P2P group IMAGiNE has been disbanded due to law enforcement actions .   Some game and software groups include Razor 1911 , Reloaded , DrinkOrDie , Pirates With Attitude , Class , Myth and Fairlight . For a larger list , see the list of warez groups .

neg: Character (arts) A character ( sometimes known as a fictional character ) is a person or other being in a narrative work of art ( such as a novel , play , television series , or film ) . The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person , in which case the distinction of a `` fictional '' versus `` real '' character may be made . Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ , the English word dates from the Restoration , although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749 . From this , the sense of `` a part played by an actor '' developed . Character , particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves `` the illusion of being a human person . '' In literature , characters guide readers through their stories , helping them to understand plots and ponder themes . Since the end of the 18th century , the phrase `` in character '' has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor . Since the 19th century , the art of creating characters , as practiced by actors or writers , has been called characterisation .   A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type . Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualised . The characters in Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler ( 1891 ) and August Strindberg 's Miss Julie ( 1888 ) , for example , are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender , such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts .   The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work . The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions ( proairetic , pragmatic , linguistic , proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters . The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically , often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality , self-determination , and the social order .

neg: Final Fantasy XIII is a science fiction role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles and later for the Microsoft Windows operating system . Released in Japan in December 2009 and worldwide in March 2010 , it is the thirteenth title in the mainline Final Fantasy series . The game includes fast-paced combat , a new system for the series for determining which abilities are developed for the characters called `` Crystarium '' , and a customizable `` Paradigm '' system to control which abilities are used by the characters . Final Fantasy XIII includes elements from the previous games in the series , such as summoned monsters , chocobos , and airships .   The game takes place in the fictional floating world of Cocoon , whose government , the Sanctum , is ordering a purge of civilians who have supposedly come into contact with Pulse , the much-feared world below . The former soldier Lightning begins her fight against the government in order to save her sister who has been branded as an unwilling servant to a god-like being from Pulse , making her an enemy of Cocoon . Lightning is soon joined by a band of allies , and together the group also become marked by the same Pulse creature . They rally against the Sanctum while trying to discover their assigned task and whether they can avoid being turned into monsters or crystals at the completion .   Development began in 2004 , and the game was first announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo ( E3 ) 2006 . Final Fantasy XIII is the flagship title of the Fabula Nova Crystallis collection of Final Fantasy games and is the first game to use Square Enix 's Crystal Tools engine . Final Fantasy XIII received mostly positive reviews from video game publications , which praised the game 's graphics , presentation , and battle system . The game 's story received a mixed response from reviewers , and its linearity compared to previous games in the series was mostly criticized . Selling 1.7 million copies in Japan in 2009 , Final Fantasy XIII became the fastest-selling title in the history of the series . As of January 2013 , the game has sold over 6.6 million copies worldwide . The Microsoft Windows version has sold over 700,000 copies according to SteamSpy . A sequel , titled Final Fantasy XIII-2 , was released in December 2011 in Japan and in February 2012 in North America and PAL regions . A second sequel , titled Lightning Returns : Final Fantasy XIII , which concludes Lightning 's story and the Final Fantasy XIII saga , was released in November 2013 in Japan and in February 2014 in North America and PAL regions . In September 2014 , Square Enix announced the Final Fantasy XIII series has been widely successful and has shipped over 11 million copies worldwide .

neg: Music video game A music video game , also commonly known as a music game , is a video game where the gameplay is meaningfully and often almost entirely oriented around the player 's interactions with a musical score or individual songs . Music video games may take a variety of forms and are often grouped with puzzle games due to their common use of `` rhythmically generated puzzles '' .   Strong support for the convergence of live music and video games is evident with the success of the Video Games Live concert series . Emergent games for live concert performance , `` game-scores '' , augment traditional western music notation with the dramatic elements of animation , interactivity , graphic elements and aleatoric principles ( Anigraphical Music ) . The concept of incorporating game theory and music is not new and can be traced back to Musikalisches Würfelspiel .   Music video games are distinct from purely audio games ( e.g. the 1997 Sega Saturn release Real Sound : Kaze no Regret ) in that they feature a visual feedback , to lead the player through the game 's soundtrack , although eidetic music games can fall under both categories .

neg: Deliria Deliria : Faerie Tales for a New Millennium is an `` interactive urban fantasy setting '' created by Phil Brucato . The title refers to an altered state of awareness in which several levels of reality can be perceived at once , to both good and ill effect .   The core concept behind Deliria is one of `` ordinary people in an extraordinary world . '' Inspired by classical fairy tales and urban fantasy , the setting presents a multicultural world in which magic is always present but often invisible . To `` twilight people '' who encounter the magical realm , the world becomes a frightening yet wonderful place . Meanwhile , the immortal faeries , or aelderfolk , regard mortal humanity with a mixture of awe and terror . The accelerating pace of human imagination reverberates through both worlds , bringing changes that many aelders fear . Within the tensions of this setting , ordinary people become heroes - or villains - in their own new fairy tales .   Inspired by authors like Charles de Lint , Erik Davis and Francesca Lia Block , films like Edward ScissorHands and Practical Magic , world music and ethereal wave music , and TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Deliria 's setting emphasizes `` normal people '' over superheroes . As a role-playing game , it features a flexible rules system , collaborative storytelling , and a character-crafting process based on telling stories about the character . Deliria has also been noted for its vivid digital art , evocative short stories , and emphasis of `` courage rather than carnage . ''

neg: Skin gambling In video games , skin gambling is the use of virtual goods , which are most commonly cosmetic elements such as `` skins '' which have no direct influence on gameplay , as virtual currency to bet on the outcome of professional matches or on other games of chance . It primarily has occurred within the player community for the game Counter-Strike : Global Offensive by Valve Corporation , but practice of it exists in other game communities . Valve also runs the Steam marketplace which can be interfaced by third-parties to enable trading , buying , and selling of skins from players ' Steam inventories for real-world or digital currency , though Valve itself condones the gambling practices .   Valve added random skin rewards as part of an update to Counter-Strike : Global Offensive in 2013 , believing that players would use these to trade with other players and bolster both the player community and its Steam marketplace . A number of websites were created to bypass monetary restrictions Valve set on the Steam marketplace to aid in high-value trading and allowing users to receive cash value for skins . Some of these sites subsequently added the ability to gamble on the results of professional matches or in games of chance with these skins , which in 2016 was estimated to handle around $ 5 billion of the virtual goods . These sites , along with Valve and various video game streamers , have come under scrutiny due to ethical and legal questions relating to gambling on sporting matches , underage gambling , undisclosed promotion , and outcome rigging . Evidence of such unethical practices was discovered in June 2016 , and led to two formal lawsuits filed against these sites and Valve in the following month . Valve subsequently has taken steps to stop such sites from using Steam 's interface for enabling gambling , leading to about half of these sites to close down , while driving more of the skin gambling into an underground economy .

neg: Paraspace The term ` paraspace ' comes from Samuel R. Delany , a ` space ' existing parallel to normal or ordinary space . According to Delany , the para-space is an alternate space that ` exists parallel to the normal space of the diegesis -- a rhetorically heightened  `` other realm ''' ( Bukatman 1993 : 157 ) . Bukatman ( 1993 : 157 ) says `` Cyberspace is clearly a '' paraspace ' . '   `` Delany connects cyberpunk to the mysterious lunar artifact of Algis Budrys ' Rogue Moon and early evocations of outer space , all of which use inflated rhetoric to differentiate `` paraspace '' from mundane dimensions '' Samuel Review Essay .   Paraspace is defined by Barry Malzberg as `` the condition of hyperspace -LSB- that -RSB- is itself insane '' ( as cited by Bukatman , 1993 : 157 ) .   Michael Fisch ( 2004 : 371 , citing Murakami , 2002 : 157 ) comments `` While the para-space is often inaugurated through cognition it is always a ` materially manifested ' and ` linguistically intensified ' space in which ` conflicts that begin in ordinary space are resolved ' ''  ( Murakami 2002 : 157 ) .   Implications   Walter Benjamin ( 1936/1968 ) declare the end of storytelling because of its incapacity to relate traumatic experiences , such as warfare , shell shock in World War I . As work lost its spaces to practice not just storytelling , but storylistening , the skills of interpretation of experience atrophied .   Paraspace is the hyperspace gone insane ( Malzberg , The worker flesh-body is displaced by the corporate ad-inventions , set on the global stage of `` technoorganic reconstructions of the flesh '' ( Bukatman , 1993 : 19 ) .   Walter Benjamin ( 1936 ) declared that the art of storytelling is coming to an end . We can no longer tell a tale of trauma properly . We can no longer exchange our experiences of trauma of war ( PTSD ) , economic collapse sending millions into homelessness , including veterans of the recent wars , the ubiquitousness of sweatshops , and so on . Of relevance to paraspace , the lost art of storytelling has an accumulated effect ( Fisch , 2004 : p. 365 ) ; it gets worth with cyber-real . / When the ` real ' pokes through the cyberspace , it gets quickly displaced by obfuscation . Our ` real ' in hyperspace is not closer to Lacanian Real ( FIsch , p. 372 ) .   Paraspace is invisible , yet has material consequences ( Bukatman , 1992 ) .   Benjamin , W.

neg: Grimm (role-playing game) Grimm is a role-playing game , released by Fantasy Flight Games . The current version is a standalone game using the Linear D6 system . The Linear D6 version is a significant expansion of the original material , including a more fully developed setting , a monster manual and game mechanics , all of which were previously provided by the core D20 System rule books .   Linear D6 is unusual in that it deliberately limits randomness having characters perform at their ability level 2/3 of the time . The mechanic represents teamwork by a dice pool which increases chances of scoring above character ability and reduces the chances of failure .   The original version was part of Fantasy Flight Games Horizon open-ended miniature Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings , making of use the D20 System under the Open Game Licence . The setting can be used as a supplement to D&D that introduces a new setting based on a `` twisted '' version of the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm . The correlation between the realm of Grimm and the original fairytales is in many ways comparable to the correlation of White Wolf 's World of Darkness to the our world . The game provides new core classes which enable players to take on role of children lost in this strange and terrifying realm .

For example :  Preventing the other player from being able to move  Being the first player to achieve a target  Holding the highest value hand  Taking the most card tricks   In combinatorial game theory , the normal play convention of an impartial game is that the last player able to move is the winner .   By contrast `` misère games '' involve upsetting the convention and declaring a winner the individual who would normally be considered the loser .   Category : Gaming

The tracks are a mixture of previously unreleased live recordings , unreleased studio recordings , and album cuts . The boxed set 's title emphasizes the large number of musical collaborations Hornsby has embarked upon during his career , as evidenced by the list of collaborators below .   The discs are thematically broken into three categories : `` Top 90 Time , '' `` Solo Piano , Tribute Records , Country-Bluegrass , Movie Scores , '' and `` By Request ( Favorites and Best Songs ) '' ( two CDs ) . A full third of the music is previously unreleased ; many familiar tracks are presented as unreleased live versions rather than the original studio recordings , and the majority of the remaining tracks are from single b-sides , collaborations and/or tribute albums and movie soundtracks .   Some noteworthy collaborations include a piano-and-saxophone duet with Ornette Coleman and a performance with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd 's `` Comfortably Numb . '' The set also offers a number of excellent examples of Hornsby 's re-inventiveness with his own compositions , particularly in a live setting , for instance three different versions of `` The Valley Road '' are included -- a live `` bluesy funk '' version with the Noise Makers , a Grammy-winning bluegrass version with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band , and `` a loose and sloppy but totally grooving boogie '' take with the Grateful Dead .  Critics have said that Hornsby 's particular integrations of different musical genres , and his passion for reinventing his own compositions , create a kind of music many might `` never hear '' otherwise as it is `` a kind of music no one else is making . ''   `` Song H '' was a new composition that was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental at the 2007 Grammy Awards .

neg: Reunited (Gloria Jones album) Reunited is the fifth studio album released by Gloria Jones in 1982 .

Signing with Cobb 's Greengrass Productions , Gloria recorded her first hit record , `` Heartbeat Pts 1 & 2 , '' which Cobb wrote and produced . `` Heartbeat '' became a classic rhythm and blues tune which later was recorded by Dusty Springfield , Spencer Davis and many other artists who attempted to capture that phenomenal Gloria Jones sound .   By then , Gloria had gone on to record other memorable songs for Uptown records , a subsidiary of Capitol | EMI . Included among these tunes was another Cobb written song , `` Tainted Love '' ( included on this album ) . In fact the group , SOFT CELL , whose version of `` Tainted Love '' reached # 1 worldwide , originally heard Gloria sing this classic years before in Northern England . So strong was Gloria 's following there that she was proclaimed the `` Northern Queen of Soul . ''   Marc Bolan of T-Rex was so impressed by Gloria 's talents that they joined forces .

neg: Smile! (Vitas album) Smile ! ( Улыбнись ! , Ulybnis ! ) is a Russian album by Vitas , released in 2002 .

Blessed Guru ( sometimes translated Blissful Guru ) also exercises his seldom-used bass range . The song titles Good-bye and Do Svidaniya ( Russian : До свидания , usually listed in English as See You Later , as in the track listing here ) can cause some confusion because the latter is often translated as Goodbye .   It also includes Vitas ' rendition of Ave Maria by Franz Schubert with a contrasting hellish operatic ending ; a shortened version without this ending was included in Vitas ' 2010 compilation album Masterpieces of Three Centuries .

neg: See Ya 'Round See Ya ` Round is the ninth and final album by New Zealand 's premier new wave band , Split Enz , and was released in 1984 , following the departure of founding member Tim Finn , whose solo career had officially taken off the year before . Remaining songwriter Neil Finn , claiming to be a little daunted by the prospect of leading his older brother 's band , subsequently announced that this would be the final Split Enz studio recording . Since he only had an EP 's worth of material ready , the record was filled out by lightweight , experimental contributions from each of the other band members . In interviews , Neil has revealed that the original EP was to have been the first five tracks on the album ( `` Breakin ' My Back '' through `` Years Go By '' ) .   Neil Finn 's demos from this era included an early version of the future Crowded House hit , `` Something So Strong '' ( at this point a ballad ) , as well as prototypes for `` I Walk Away '' ( known as `` Love and Success '' and `` Your Inspiration '' ) , and `` Ca n't Carry On '' . Tim Finn had also recorded a collection of demos at Sing Sing Studios for the next Enz album , but his departure ensured that they would remain unreleased .   The album 's lead single , `` I Walk Away , '' had a low-budget video clip which features the band protruding their faces through theatrical costume cut-outs , much like on the artwork of the album . The song was also released on a 12 '' single , featuring an of-its-era extended remix . Neither single nor album were released in the USA , because after most copies of 1983 's Conflicting Emotions ended up in bargain bins , the American label A&M would not risk another potential Split Enz failure and dropped them from the roster . `` I Walk Away '' was later re-recorded ( with a different verse ) and re-released on the U.S. issue of the first Crowded House album , as it was new to U.S. audiences . Originally intended as a goodbye to the Enz , key parts of the song were rewritten for the Crowded House album , supposedly to reflect Neil 's uncertainty of venturing away from the security of the Enz .   See Ya ` Round was initially released only in Australia and New Zealand , charting at # 29 and # 5 , respectively . A later release in Canada featured a grey border on the cover instead of an orange one .   After an appearance on Countdown and the release of `` One Mouth Is Fed '' as a follow-up single , the band decided to end with a proper goodbye and beckoned Tim Finn back for one final `` Enz With a Bang '' tour . It is on this tour that Neil met future Crowded House bassist and collaborator , Nick Seymour . A live album was released a year later featuring songs from the three Melbourne shows of this tour and the 1982 Time and Tide tour .

neg: Cinema of India The cinema of India consists of films produced across India . Cinema as a medium has gained immense popularity in the country and as many as 1,600 films in various languages of India are produced annually . Indian films have also come to be followed throughout South Asia , the Greater Middle East , Southeast Asia and other countries . Dadasaheb Phalke is known as the `` father of Indian cinema '' . The Dadasaheb Phalke Award , for lifetime contribution to cinema , was instituted in his honour , by the Government of India in 1969 , and is the most prestigious and coveted award in Indian cinema .   In the 20th century , Indian cinema , along with the Hollywood and Chinese film industries , became a global enterprise . As of 2013 , in terms of annual film output , India ranks first , followed by Nollywood , Hollywood and China . In 2012 , India produced 1,602 feature films . The Indian film industry reached overall revenues of $ 1.86 billion ( 93 billion ) in 2011 . This is projected to rise to $ 3 billion ( 200 billion ) in 2016 . In 2015 , India had a total box office gross of , the fourth largest in the world outside North America . Enhanced technology paved the way for upgrading from established cinematic norms of delivering product , altering the manner in which content reached the target audience . Biopics like Dangal and CGI-laden epics like Baahubali emerged as transnational blockbusters grossing over $ 200 million each in early 21st century . Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened . The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country 's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe .   The provision of 100 % foreign direct investment has made the Indian film market attractive for foreign enterprises such as 20th Century Fox , Sony Pictures , Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. . Indian enterprises such as AVM Productions , Prasad 's Group , Sun Pictures , PVP Cinemas , Zee , UTV , Suresh Productions , Eros Films , Ayngaran International , Pyramid Saimira , Aascar Films and Adlabs also participated in producing and distributing films . Tax incentives to multiplexes have aided the multiplex boom in India . By 2003 as many as 30 film production companies had been listed in the National Stock Exchange of India , making the commercial presence of the medium felt .   The South Indian film industry defines the four film cultures of South India as a single entity . They are the Telugu , the Tamil , the Malayalam and the Kannada industries . Although developed independently over a long period , gross exchange of film performers and technicians as well as globalisation helped to shape this new identity .   The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through media such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible . These earnings , accounting for some 12 % of the revenue generated by a mainstream film , contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema , the net worth of which was found to be 1.3 billion in 2000 . Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator with the music rights alone accounting for 4 -- 5 % of the net revenues generated by a film in India .

neg: Art film An art film is typically a serious , independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience . An art film is `` intended to be a serious artistic work , often experimental and not designed for mass appeal '' ; they are `` made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit '' , and they contain `` unconventional or highly symbolic content '' .   Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing `` formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films '' , which can include , among other elements , a sense of social realism ; an emphasis on the authorial expressiveness of the director ; and a focus on the thoughts , dreams , or motivations of characters , as opposed to the unfolding of a clear , goal-driven story . Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as `` a film genre , with its own distinct conventions '' .   Art film producers usually present their films at specialty theatres ( repertory cinemas , or , in the U.S. , `` arthouse cinemas '' ) and film festivals . The term art film is much more widely used in the United States , the UK and Australia than in Europe , where the term is more associated with `` auteur '' films and `` national cinema '' ( e.g. , German national cinema ) . Because they are aimed at small niche market audiences , they can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets , expensive special effects , costly celebrity actors , or huge advertising campaigns , as are used in widely released mainstream blockbuster films . Art film directors make up for these constraints by creating a different type of film , which typically uses lesser-known film actors ( or even amateur actors ) and modest sets to make films that focus much more on developing ideas or exploring new narrative techniques or film-making conventions .   A certain degree of experience and knowledge are required to fully understand or appreciate such films . One mid-1990s art film was called `` largely a cerebral experience '' that one enjoys `` because of what you know about film '' . This contrasts sharply with mainstream `` blockbuster '' films , which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment . For promotion , art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics ' reviews , discussion of their film by arts columnists , commentators and bloggers , and `` word-of-mouth '' promotion by audience members . Since art films have small initial investment costs , they only need to appeal to a small portion of the mainstream viewing audiences to become financially viable .

neg: What Makes a Battle What Makes a Battle was a propaganda short produced by the US Army Pictoral Service in 1944 . It documents the taking of the Marshall Islands while also encouraging increased war production .   The film opens with the narrator asking `` What makes a battle ? '' while the camera is focusing on shipments of industrial transports , `` This is what it takes to make a battle . '' This statement sets up the dual nature of the entire film . War supplies are pouring in from every part of the country , from every type of American `` Republican and Democrat , white and colored . '' Industrial production is the backbone of war , according to the film , if it is destroyed , not made with quality , or not replaced in time , the battle can not happen .   Then the film abruptly changes direction , and presents a summary of the American battle plan for taking the Marshalls , how the outer islands were bombed to fool the enemy , and how a sneak attack was planned against the inner islands . But this could n't happen until all the supplies were ready . When the invasion does begin there is fierce fighting on the main islands . `` The German would have surrendered , but not the Jap ... Out of a garrison of 6000 , 230 surrender . '' Much time is spent on the Japanese POWs , and the film goes to great lengths to show how well they are treated , especially in comparison to how the Japanese treated their POWs .   Emphasis then turns again to materiel . Showing all the destroyed planes , artillery , and ammunition , all needing to be replaced by the American workforce . But at the very end , images of the dead and wounded American soldiers are shown . The narrator assures us they will never be forgotten .

The social stratification imposed by feudalism governed every human relationship , with power devolving from the duke , to the knight , to the men at arms , the church and the peasantry at the very bottom .

neg: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 American science fiction fantasy film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg , and written by Melissa Mathison . It features special effects by Carlo Rambaldi and Dennis Muren , and stars Henry Thomas , Dee Wallace , Robert MacNaughton , Drew Barrymore , Peter Coyote and Pat Welsh . It tells the story of Elliott ( Thomas ) , a lonely boy who befriends an extraterrestrial , dubbed `` E.T. '' , who is stranded on Earth . He and his siblings help it return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government .   The concept was based on an imaginary friend Spielberg created after his parents ' divorce in 1960 . In 1980 , Spielberg met Mathison and developed a new story from the stalled sci-fi horror film project Night Skies . It was shot from September to December 1981 in California on a budget of US$ 10.5 million . Unlike most films , it was shot in rough chronological order , to facilitate convincing emotional performances from the young cast .   Released on June 11 , 1982 by Universal Pictures , E.T was an immediate blockbuster , surpassing Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time -- a record it held for eleven years until Jurassic Park , another Spielberg-directed film , surpassed it in 1993 . It is the highest-grossing film of the 1980s . Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time , critics acclaimed it as a timeless story of friendship , and it ranks as the greatest science fiction film ever made in a Rotten Tomatoes survey . In 1994 , it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . It was re-released in 1985 , and then again in 2002 to celebrate its 20th anniversary , with altered shots and additional scenes .

Originally coined in reference to aerial bombing with chemical explosives , since World War II it has come to refer to large-scale weaponry of other technologies , such as chemical , biological , radiological , or nuclear .

neg: Threads Threads is a 1984 British television drama jointly produced by the BBC , Nine Network and Western-World Television Inc. . Written by Barry Hines and directed by Mick Jackson , it is a docudrama account of nuclear war and its effects on the city of Sheffield in Northern England . The plot centres on two families as a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union erupts .

Shot on a budget of # 250,000 -- 350,000 , the film was the first of its kind to depict a nuclear winter .
