If you can think of it, we've probably wrapped it.
Check out some of our past work below. Vinyl wraps are a great way to protect and add life to your original paint job. If you ever want to change your design or your message, the old wrap comes off, and the new one goes on. It's as simple as that.
DPI Creative creates high quality, high resolution wall, car, truck, and fleet wraps.
For over 10 years, Frank Mele has specialized in vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, promotional wraps and boat wraps. We can design, print and install all under one roof. Whatever you're looking for to promote your group, event or business, we can create it.
Our vehicle wraps are cost effective and can provide your business with a new look.
Traditional advertising methods would suggest the more money you spend, the more advertising you will receive; but with a moving vehicle wrap, you only have to pay a one-time fee to advertise and be seen by a whole city! Vehicle wraps allow you to control who and where your wrap will be seen. The more you drive, the more exposure you business will get.
With a decade of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, the experts at 1 Stop Wraps can meet your wrap needs.
When purchasing a car, truck or RV wrap for you or your business, it comes down to one thing: how much do you want your business to be seen? With our in house graphic design, we make low, competitive prices and stay within your budget to get your new vehicle or fleet wrap on the street. A study from the American Trucking Association says that 91% of people notice words and pictures when displayed on trucks.

Because we can do it all: With a decade of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, the experts at 1 Stop Wraps can meet your wrap needs.
For over 10 years Frank Mele has specialized in vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, promotional wraps and boat wraps. We can design, print and install all under one roof. Whatever you're looking for to promote your group, event or business, we can create it.
Are vehicle and marine wraps really worth it?
No question. Vehicular advertising has proven time and again to be the most effective mode of advertising in this, our highly mobile society. More people see your message, and more people remember it.
So, I decide to go with a vehicle or boat wrap. How do you do it?
First, we'll sit down with you and work out a design, and take accurate measurements of your vehicle or boat. Then we'll print the graphics using high-quality vinyl and weather resistant inks. We'll apply the wrap, and laminate it to ensure a long life.
All of our work comes with a comprehensive warranty, so not only is your vehicle or boat protected, you are too.
How long will the wrap stay on?
In most cases you can leave a wrap on a boat or vehicle from two to five years, according to the manufacturers' warranty. 1 Stop Wraps guarantees all of their workmanship with a promise to fix any problems that you encounter with the finished product.
Nothing is fool-proof. Before you choose to go with a Vehicle or Marine Wrap, we will test the paint to make sure there are no flaws that may be further damaged by a vinyl wrap.
We lease our vehicles. Can they still be wrapped?
Leased vehicles are wrapped throughout the country without incident or damage. But, check with the people that you lease from to be sure.
Whether it's a boat, a truck or any sort of four-wheeled vehicle, hand-washing is best. Avoid high pressure washes and be careful never to use an ice scraper on window graphics. There are specially designed products to clean and polish vinyl graphics, so ask your salesperson.
It is recommended to avoid car washes and have the wrapped vehicle hand washed for cleaning. Car wash machinery may cause edge lifting or sean separation. During the winter season for snow removal off of vehicle, avoid scrapers or anything with jagged and blunt edges. It is highly recommended to use a brush on wrapped surfaces. It is recommended to have wrapped vehicle spray waxed every season to preserve UV laminate.
What are the advantages of a vehicle wrap as opposed to a new paint job?
In short, creativity and flexibility. Wrapping your vehicle or boat in a custom design allows you to get your message across in new and exciting ways. It's cost-effective, eye-catching and most of all, mobile!
Vinyl wraps are a great way to protect and add life to your original paint job. If you ever want to change your design or your message, the old wrap comes off, and the new one goes on. It's as simple as that.

Including his three playoff wins last season, Foles is 14-8 in games he's started for the Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles appear to be ready to go with veteran Nick Foles at quarterback to start their title defense on September 6 against the Atlanta Falcons.
"I appreciate y'all putting words in my mouth this week", he told reporters in Philadelphia. Since Wentz hadn't officially been cleared for contact heading into the weekend, it seemed like only a matter of time before it was announced that Foles would begin the year as the starter, bringing a whole new level of pressure to the table.
Foles started the Eagles' last game that counted too. He had been splitting first-team reps with Foles, but will move back into a supporting role for at least this week.
Wentz was in the MVP hunt before tearing his ACL against the Rams.
Although the ideal scenario would be Wentz getting back under center as soon as possible for the NFC heavyweights against potentially one of their strongest opponents in the conference, Foles proved to be a formidable backup at the position previous year when the MVP candidate went down with the season-ending knee injury.

Squads are a very important feature in Battlefield 3 and past Battlefield games. Each squad is made up of 2-4 players. Being in a squad is very valuable. You may notice how many of the maps are huge in Battlefield 3. If you die, you can spawn on one of your squad mates instead of running all the way across the map. Be warned, they may be in battle which will give you little chance of surviving.
In past Battlefield games you could only communicate to the players in your squad. In Battlefield 3, you can communicate to your whole team. Make a note of this so you don't think you're only talking to your squad.
One player will be assigned as the Squad Leader - usually the player who started the squad. If the Squad Leader leaves, another player will be assigned as the Squad Leader.
The Squad Leader is the only player in the squad that can mark objectives in Rush, Conquest, or Squad Rush. Spot a Flag or MCOM Station to mark it on the rest of the squad's HUD. This will tell all players to go after this position. Any kills made around the marked position will give you bonus points.
When you're in a squad, all things you do with the squad that earns you bonus points will give you an extra amount of bonus points, usually +10 XP. See the growing list on the Squad Bonuses page.

It's Xbox Game Pass Season on RFN. James starts the show with a duo of games on Xbox Game Pass: Project Wingman and Star Wars: Fallen Order. Project Wingman is what happens when fans of Ace Combat try to make their own game, and Star Wars: Fallen Order is what happens when the developer of the best shooter of a generation gets Star Wars. He and Jon then get revved up for Forza Horizon 5. A vehicular Olympics in Mexico hides a dark, "pay to win" secret. James, a martyr stood up to oppose such plans. Jon, a natural follower, happily gave Bill Gates his money. Jon also has been playing Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, also on Game Pass. It's not a Wonder Boy, and Gui is finally able to explain to us how all these series are related. Guillaume gets us back to Switch, with Ys Origin and WarioWare: Get It Together! Ys Origin is a prequel to the Ys series, and returns to the more traditional game play, rather than the 3D world of VIII and IX. Greg closes out New Business with a look at the 3DS port of Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. It is one of a bunch of Wii and Game Cube games that found their way to 3DS, and he's got thoughts on its place in that pantheon.
After a break, we dive in on a couple Listener Mail. First we propose some Joy-Con Alternatives for the discerning (and cheap) consumer, then we talk a little bit about IGN's review of Persona Shin Megami Tensei V. You can ask us to critique other people by sending an email.

Re: Episode 747: Like the Plane
SMT 5 is lightyears ahead of Strange Journey in terms of design. If you decide to go into Strange Journey and find that it's annoying and frustrating, that's a totally normal reaction in 2021 and isn't a reflection on how 5 is.
(5 is incredible by the way, can't put it down)
Oedo
This title is an insult!
Quote from: TOPHATANT123 on November 19, 2021, 12:29:28 PM
Lightyears ahead how? It's an apples to oranges comparison: I'm still relatively early in SMT V, but the exploration is largely open spaces, and the first dungeon was very basic. Strange Journey, on the other hand, is a pure dungeon crawler. It's more that the design is vastly different than better or worse (I think both games are great in very different ways).
I do agree for that same reason that a negative experience with Strange Journey should not deter someone in the slightest from trying SMT V though.
The fusion mechanics in Strange Journey suck compared to other games in the series, you can't carry over skills so the movesets you can create are only ever the basic moveset plus one demon source.
Strange Journey's late game dungeons are horrible. Filled with trial and error designed to annoy the player. Invisible walls, blackout rooms where you have no idea where you're going, constant conveyor belt puzzles. Teleport puzzles are infuriating, to call them puzzles would be an overstatement, it's pure trial and error.
The battle system isn't press turn, instead you have co-op attacks if you're the same alignment. It's more simplistic and involves less strategy.
The MC is less interesting to develop because all of their skills come from equipment.
There are an abundance of Atlus RPGs and dungeon crawlers on the DS and 3DS that compare unfavourably to Strange Journey.
Which other games in the series? Most games in the series were restrictive in terms of fusion (albeit in different ways) until IV. If you played Strange Journey before IV, I'm not sure how that would annoy you. More importantly, the game was balanced around that fact.
That's disingenuous. That's like saying just give every demon you intend to use in V one skill of every element, get 8 turns, and just stomp everybody before they get a single turn in. It's not that simple in practice all the time. The strategy shifted more towards building teams for each floor in Strange Journey.
The only sector where this was egregious was Eridanus. That's not the only late game dungeon in the game though. Every Atlus dungeon crawler has some trial and error and many of the mechanics you mentioned. That's the nature of those games. It's not a Strange Journey exclusive, and it definitely didn't stop there.
I'm not really trying to defend the merits of Strange Journey (I can understand how some people wouldn't like it), it's just a bit weird to make a 1:1 comparison like this to a decade old game that I would argue is basically a different genre (or sub-genre if you want to call it that).
My point still stands that it shouldn't have any bearing if James or anybody else is debating whether to pick up V, but more because it's much more different.
Devil Survivor has great fusion mechanics, that was before Strange Journey and 4. In Strange Journey it doesn't matter what you use as fusion material because the skills don't carry over anyway.
In SMT 3, Persona 3 & 4, it's restricted by how many times you're willing to exit and re-enter the menu, but it still matters what you use as material.
Yeah, there are annoying parts in other dungeon crawlers. But this is on a whole other level.
For example invisible doors that are mandatory to progress. To see them you need to look at the wall in question, just standing on the tile isn't good enough. So what are your options here? When faced with a long corridor I would take one step forward, turn to my left to check for an invisible door, press right twice to check for an invisible door, turn back to my left then carry on forward one tile.
On the other hand you could face the left wall, hold down the R button and do a sweep across it. Then turn around and do a sweep across the right wall, then turn and head back in the direction I was going. You've now walked the corridor 3 times.
That's not good design. For optional content sure, a little secret to stumble across, but for the critical story path?! What were they thinking? It doesn't happen often, only a handful of times during the game, but it's enough to reinforce the habit of bumping into every single wall of the maze.
What about the black out rooms? It's essentially Pokémon caves before you learn flash, but at least with Pokémon you could learn flash before you have to go into the cave. In Strange Journey there is no such luxury.
But nevertheless, you push forward, try and error your way through the dungeon and finally learn the Strange Journey equivalent of flash. Great you've done it! Now you don't have to worry about those annoying areas anymore! Yeaaaah about that, just kidding, the blackout room gimmick returns for some inexplicable reason and the flash you learnt in the other dungeon no longer applies here. Have fun fumbling around in the dark, again. This is mandatory, not an optional area.
Strange Journey is a throwback, it's got simpler mechanics in the vein of something like a Soul Hackers or Persona 1 PSP. But those games didn't feel the need to waste my time with infuriating dungeon design, they were fun and inoffensive.

Nursing home resident accused of beating roommate
Chester Rusek believed his roommate in a Town of Tonawanda nursing home was stealing from him.
So on a recent Monday morning, Rusek retaliated and repeatedly beat the 86-year-old roommate, Salvatore Trusello, with a 2½-pound magnet as Trusello lay in his bed in Kenwell-DePaul Senior Living Community on Delaware Avenue, police said.
Then, Rusek, 87, who gets around with the use of a walker, shuffled down the hallway and told the attendant to get help.
"He's going to need medical attention," Rusek told the attendant, according to police reports. "I just beat his [expletive]."
"I didn't want to kill him," Rusek later told police. "I just wanted to get even."
Rusek was arrested for the Nov. 26 attack and charged with assault on the nursing home resident and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, said Town of Tonawanda Detective Lt. Joseph Carosi.Nursing home resident accused of beating roommate - City & Region - The Buffalo News:

Beijing says earthquake will make Chinese economy grow
Government experts maintain that the work of reconstruction will have positive effects on the economy. Meanwhile, Beijing is arresting anti-corruption activists, is not responding to the parents of students who died beneath the schools, and is lodging accusations against donor companies. The "strange" management of the post-earthquake situation.
Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) - According to the state information centre, the reconstruction work following the earthquake will add 0.3% to the Chinese economy in 2008. The estimate seems to be consistent with services and industrial structures, without considering the loss of life and the damage to private citizens. Meanwhile, Beijing accuses companies of not giving promised aid, is arresting activists who are denouncing corruption linked to the earthquake, and are not responding to the questions from parents of the almost 9,000 children who died beneath collapsed schools. The "strange" management after the earthquake, to avoid social discontent and protests.
Criticism is growing in the country over management following the earthquake. In Mianyang on June 16, the police arrested Zeng Hongling, the author of three articles on corrupt officials who permitted the construction of unstable buildings and are making the displaced live in miserable conditions. She is accused of "possible incitement to subversion against state authorities". Yesterday, Huang Qi, founder of the human rights centre Tianwang, was also put into jail, accused of "illegal possession of state secrets", even though - according to his lawyer, Mo Shaoping - it is not clear what the secrets are. He is also critical toward the authorities in the area of the earthquake.
The parents of the more than 280 children who died beneath the dormitory of the Muyu middle school charge that the building was constructed poorly, and that the doors were locked so that no one could get out. Li Haosheng, communist party secretary of the county of Qingchuan, promised them that investigations would be conducted, after they trapped him inside his vehicle for an entire day. But on June 9, they received a letter, without any seal or signature, stating that there will be no investigations. Now they are looking for Li, but dozens of policemen have prevented them from entering county offices, in front of which some of them have been waiting for days. The area is now off limits to the media. It was not until June 17, more than one month later, that official investigations were announced for some of the collapsed schools, but it is not known whether these will involve all of the schools.
Beijing wanted to demonstrate efficiency and transparency in response to the disaster. But now many areas of the earthquake are off limits to the media. And it is impossible to put faces to all of the almost 70,000 victims: Song Ming, communist party secretary of the county of Beichuan, admits that only 9,000 of the 15,600 verified casualties have been identified. The same thing is happening everywhere, in part because many of the victims were migrant workers.
It may be in order to soften this discontent that the government is trumpeting that in spite of the disaster, the economy will grow, as if to demonstrate the efficiency of the state no matter what. This is the context for yesterday's accusation by the trade minister, who said that at least 11 multinational companies - including Wal-Mart, Unilever, Google, Texas Instruments, and China Steel of Taiwan - have given less aid than they promised. These accusations were immediately denied by some of the companies, which complain - like Wal-Mart spokesman Mou Mingming - that in this way the minister "has confused public opinion and created misunderstandings toward Wal-Mart".

Epidemiology of cancer in Mazandaran province 2006
F Norouzi Nejad, R Ramezani Daryasar, F Ghafari
Background and purpose:Cancer is the second most common cause of death in developed countries and third in less developed countries. The incidence of the different histological types of cancer varies greatly between various populations and is attributed to occupational, social, cultural, racial, and geographic influences. The objective of this study was to determine and register all cases of cancer among population of Mazandaran province, during the year of 2006.
Materials and methods:Characteristics of all registered malignancies were obtained from records in histopathology and radiology clinical, hospitals and deaths certificated in Mazandaran using the International Classification of Disease (ICD), with data being analyzed using ASR, Excel and spss soft ware.
Results:A total of 2.399 patients with cancers were found during this study. These, 1.321(55.06%) were males and 1.078 (44.94%) females. Age standardized rate (ASR) for all cancers in males and females were 112.91/100000 and 104.59/100000 Respectively. The most common malignancies among females were breast (23.38%), skin (11.78%), colon and rectum cancers (10.30%). In men, stomach (42.41%), skin (15.59%) and esophagus (9.08%) were the most common cancers respectively. Infiltrating duct carcinoma, was the most common histopathological types of tumors (69.35%) in breast cancer. The most common morphology in stomach cancer was adenocarcinoma, (54.67%).
Conclusion: Distribution of malignant disorders in our population is different from other regions. Therefore, it appears necessary to have a valid health policy for prevention. Consequently, it is necessary to have a valid health policy for prevention and control of this problem.

It is always pleasing to have an author saunter into the shop for a chat and restorative cuppa, especially when they have a new book to share with us. A few years ago, we hosted a lively event with Charles - Downton Abbey style - to celebrate his first publication; "The Butler Speaks". Now, Charles has published "The Pocket Butler" A Compact Guide to Modern Manners, Business Etiquette and Everyday Entertaining. This little book is both delightful and informative. I love this quote in the introduction: "Luxury can be had by anyone at anytime, and given to anyone at anytime, because its about making someone feel welcomed, cherished and looked after."
This Autumn, we will be hosting another event with Charles, stay tuned for details. The event promises to be memorable, and we promise not to ask you to bring your own fork and spoon! (a reference from page 68 of "The Pocket Butler").

De sang froid (titre original : ) est un jeu vidéo d'aventure et d'infiltration sorti sur PlayStation en 2000 puis porté sur Microsoft Windows en 2001, développé par Revolution Software, plus connu pour sa série de jeux d'aventures en point-n-click, Les Chevaliers de Baphomet.

Le joueur incarne John Cord, un agent du MI6 capturé en mission qui tente de comprendre qui l'a trahi pendant une série de flashbacks. Le créateur Charles Cecil s'inspire des films de gangsters Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects et Heat. Le moteur du jeu est créé spécifiquement pour celui-ci. Les critiques à la sortie sont mitigées. Elles font généralement l'éloge de l'histoire du jeu, des énigmes et des graphismes, mais critiquent la prise en main, les scènes d'action et l'animation.

Trame

Univers
De sang froid se passe en Volgia, un État fictif sur la côte Est de l'ex-URSS. Après la chute de l'Union Soviétique, Dimitri Nagarov, chef du Renseignement et de la Sécurité, saisit l'occasion de renverser le pouvoir en place, et déclare l'indépendance de la Volgia. Après ce coup d'état, la Volgia se met à envahir ses voisins. L'Armée de Libération de Volgia (ALV), un mouvement de résistance dirigé par Gregor Kostov, apprend que Nagarov détient une technologie avancée, et en informe les Américains. Ces derniers envoient Kiefer, un espion, pour mener l'enquête, mais alors que ses recherches l'ont emmené dans une mine d'uranium, les communications avec celui-ci sont interrompues. Les Anglais sont appelés à l'aide et Alpha, la chef du MI6, envoie l'agent John Cord, un ami de longue date de Kiefer, pour enquêter.

Après l'introduction qui montre quelques éléments des missions de Cord, le jeu commence par une scène dans laquelle Cord est interrogé par Dimitri Nagarov, à présent premier ministre, pendant que son assistant Lukyan le torture. Après la torture, Cord lutte pour garder sa santé mentale ; sa seule certitude est qu'il a été trahi. Il essaye de remettre de l'ordre dans les fragments de sa mémoire, et le joueur doit reconstituer les évènements qui ont mené à la capture de Cord.

Scénario
Cord se rend dans une mine d'uranium pour localiser Kiefer, mais trouve ce dernier mort. Dans la mine, Cord surprend une conversation entre Chi-Ling Cheung (un agent secret de la République Populaire de Chine) et Byrdoy Tolstov (un professeur de physique appliquée et de chimie). Tolstov révèle qu'ils ne sont pas en train d'extraire l'uranium, mais qu'ils font des expériences avec un composant spécial appelé tri-néphéline. La fille de Tolstov, Alexandra, est tenue en otage au QG de Sécurité, et Cord la sauve avec l'aide de Chi, qui est soupçonnée d'être une espionne. Après cela, Cord place un mouchard sur un serveur sécurisé et s'empare d'un disque dur qui contient des informations liée à l'ALV.

Cord se rend dans l'enceinte de confinement pour appréhender Nagarov. Au niveau Kappa, Cord détruit un gigantesque robot appelé Spectre, et au niveau Omega, il trouve des « spécimens humains » gardés dans des cages enfouies dans le sol d'un laboratoire. Cord fait remonter la cage où est retenu Yerik Dimitrivich Oliakov, un ancien maître de conférence universitaire, qui renvoie Cord vers un endroit  Nagarov arrive en tenant Alexandra prisonnière devant lui. Nagarov affirme qu'il a piraté les ordinateurs des Américains et des Chinois, pour donner l'illusion que les deux camps se préparent à la guerre, afin de pouvoir poursuivre ses projets pour la Volgia. Cord entre par la suite dans une pièce où travaille le professeur Tolstov, qui lui dit que l'endroit  est Vostograd, une base navale abandonnée, d'où Nagarov lancera son missile. Un mini-robot tue Tolstov, mais Cord utilise sa carte d'identité pour obtenir l'accès à la machine de bombardement de particules appelée Baby Blue, qu'il détruit avec une bombe. Ayant retrouvé Kostov, les deux s'en vont et découvrent un camion contenant les cadavres des hommes de Kostov. Kostov soupçonne que Chi soit une traître.

Cord et Chi infiltrent la base de Nagarov pour détruire le Super Ordinateur. Sur le toit d'une imposante tour, Cord détruit un bâtiment avec un missile surface-air pour créer une diversion. Lorsqu'il retrouve Chi, elle est menacée par Kostov, qui pense qu'elle a trahi ses hommes. Chi tue Kostov avant que ce dernier ne puisse appuyer sur la détente de son pistolet. Avec l'aide de Chi, Cord utilise un ascenseur pour aller en haut de la tour et il active un téléphérique qui mène sur une île. Cord explore la zone d'amarrage, et trouve Alexandra dans une cellule au niveau de la sécurité. Cord se sert de l'ascenseur principal du complexe pour accéder aux autres niveaux. Cord crée une diversion et entre au niveau 1, où il insère une cartouche explosive dans le Super Ordinateur. Une séquence cinématique se déclenche dans laquelle Nagarov révèle qu'Alpha a trahi Cord. Alpha les rejoint en visioconférence, puis dit à Cord que le premier ministre Nagarov devait être certain qu'il n'agissait pas sous ses ordres en faisant exploser la raffinerie. Alpha explique à Cord que ce n'est qu'un simple changement politique, et que les Britanniques soutiennent maintenant la Volgia et ses revendications souverainistes et territoriales, tant qu'ils reçoivent leurs cargaisons de tri-néphéline. Alpha ajoute que son rôle était d'appliquer ce changement de politique, et que Cord aurait dû suivre ses ordres. Alors qu'un réacteur endommagé par Cord entre dans un état critique, Nagarov et Lukyan quittent la pièce. Jusqu'à ce point du jeu, l'histoire se passait dans la mémoire de Cord, pendant qu'il était interrogé par Nagarov après avoir été capturé, mais à partir de ce point l'histoire se passe en temps réel.

Quand Cord se réveille, il trouve Chi qui avait l'ordre de le tuer, mais elle décide de le libérer après une conversation. Cord et Chi se dirigent vers les quais au niveau 1 et réussissent à abaisser un pont qui mène à un hélicoptère. Ils libèrent Alexandra, puis s'envolent alors que la base est détruite. Après avoir repéré le sous-marin nucléaire de Nagarov, ils atterrissent dessus. Cord et Chi explorent le sous-marin pour empêcher le lancement du missile. Ils neutralisent les gardes, et surprennent des messages à propos de problèmes avec le réacteur. Après que Cord et Chi se soient séparés, Lukyan assomme Chi et l'emmène à un niveau inférieur. Lukyan tend ensuite une piège à Cord, qui réussit à le tuer en le poussant dans une turbine. Sur la salle du pont, Nagarov entre armé d'un pistolet, et après leur conversation, Cord attaque Nagarov avec une échelle. Cord utilise deux clés qu'il a trouvées pour annuler le lancement du missile. Après avoir libéré Chi, un message est diffusé, stipulant qu'il ne reste plus qu'une minute avant qu'une défaillance critique d'un réacteur ne survienne. Ils retournent sur le pont et sont récupérés par Alexandra dans l'hélicoptère quelques instants avant l'explosion du sous-marin. Dans la séquence de fin, Cord téléphone à Alpha et lui dit qu'il a transmis sur les réseaux Américains et Chinois les informations qu'il possède concernant l'accord qu'Alpha a passé avec Nagarov. Le jeu se termine sur un plan de Cord, Chi et Alexandra qui s'approchent d'une plage sur laquelle le soleil se couche.

Système de jeu
De sang froid est un jeu d'aventure en 3D en vue à la troisième personne.  Le joueur contrôle le protagoniste John Cord dans des décors pré-calculés aux angles de vue fixes. Cord doit récupérer divers objets qui peuvent être utilisés entre eux, ou avec des éléments du décor, ou encore en interaction avec des personnages non joueurs, afin de résoudre des énigmes et d'avancer dans le jeu. Cord peut converser avec d'autres personnages au moyen d'arbres de dialogue, dans le but d'obtenir des indices pour la résolution de certaines énigmes, ou pour faire avancer l'intrigue. Le jeu contient aussi des séquences d'action et des phases de furtivité. Que ce soit pendant les dialogues ou les phases d'action, le joueur peut choisir d'éviter les conflits, ou d'adopter une approche plus frontale. Le jeu se compose de neuf missions que Cord doit accomplir. Presque toutes les missions se terminent avec une séquence cinématique de transition, qui montre comment Cord est interrogé et torturé. Ces séquences mettent aussi en scène d'autres personnages, parmi lesquels Alpha ou Kostov, qui fournissent des informations sur la mission suivante.

Développement
Après le succès inattendu des deux premiers jeux de la série Les Chevaliers de Baphomet sur PlayStation, Sony contacte Revolution Software pour développer un jeu qui doit sortir à la base sur PlayStation. Revolution souhaite s'éloigner du style de ses précédents projets, en faisant un jeu autour d'un agent secret, avec des scènes d'action. Selon le producteur exécutif Charles Cecil, le jeu s'inspire des films de gangsters  Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects et Heat. Le jeu est développé par une . Le moteur du jeu est développé spécifiquement pour ce titre. Cecil fait appel à , connu alors pour son travail sur les effets spéciaux au cinéma, pour profiter de son expérience dans la 3D. Keen et son équipe travaillent sur les storyboards et les séquences, et réalise certaines scènes cinématiques. Après Les Chevaliers de Baphomet, Barrington Pheloung endosse à nouveau le rôle de compositeur. La musique est interprétée par le London Metropolitan Orchestra. La chanson de fin est écrite et interprétée par Pat Treacy. De sang froid sort en Europe le 14 juillet 2000 sur PlayStation et le 10 octobre 2000 sur Microsoft Windows, puis en Amérique du Nord en 2001 sur ces deux mêmes supports.

Fighting Basques: Objective Burma: Julio Eiguren, the Basque Spy Who Did Not Exist

The invasion of Burma (now Myanmar) – in the hands of the British Empire since 1886 – by the Empire of the Rising Sun at the end of December 1941 was another strategic military coup of great importance against the power of the allied powers in the Southeast Asia. The British would capitulate in April 1942, with Burma becoming a key player on the military board of the Japanese in a final attempt to subjugate China and gain prominence in the region. While the Basque-Nevadans of the US Air Force – Joseph Malaxechevarria Plaza, Santy Arriola Onandia, John Montero Bidegaray, and Domingo Arangüena Bengoa – heroically flew over the skies of Burma, on the extremely dangerous route between India and China, at the end of 1944 in the south of the country, a secret agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) – the first centralized intelligence agency abroad in the history of the United States (USA) – was deployed: Julio Eiguren Bermeasolo, born in 1919 in Jordan Valley, Oregon, to Biscayan parents. Two years before the creation of the OSS, on April 13, 1942, Eiguren had enlisted in the army in the city of Boise, Idaho. For two months he attended the Military Police Replacement Training Center at Fort Riley, Kansas, which was established in April 1942 to train soldiers and military police for replacement of losses abroad. On June 8 he would be transferred to the South Post, Fort Myer, Virginia. His military occupational specialty was "messenger."
"Echoes of two wars, 1936-1945" aims to disseminate the stories of those Basques and Navarrese who participated in two of the warfare events that defined the future of much of the 20th century. With this blog, the intention of the Sancho de Beurko Association is to rescue from anonymity the thousands of people who constitute the backbone of the historical memory of the Basque and Navarre communities, on both sides of the Pyrenees, and their diasporas of emigrants and descendants, with a primary emphasis on the United States, during the period from 1936 to 1945.
Guillermo Tabernilla is a researcher and founder of the Sancho de Beurko Association, a non-profit organization that studies the history of the Basques and Navarrese from both sides of the Pyrenees in the Spanish Civil War and in World War II. He is currently their secretary and community manager. He is also editor of the digital magazine Saibigain. Between 2008 and 2016 he directed the catalog of the "Iron Belt" for the Heritage Directorate of the Basque Government and is, together with Pedro J. Oiarzabal, principal investigator of the Fighting Basques Project, a memory project on the Basques and Navarrese in the Second World War in collaboration with the federation of Basque Organizations of North America.
Pedro J. Oiarzabal is a Doctor in Political Science-Basque Studies, granted by the University of Nevada, Reno (USA). For two decades, his work has focused on research and consulting on public policies (citizenship abroad and return), diasporas and new technologies, and social and historical memory (oral history, migration and exile), with special emphasis on the Basque case. He is the author of more than twenty publications. He has authored the blog "Basque Identity 2.0" by EITB and "Diaspora Bizia" by EuskalKultura.eus. On Twitter @Oiarzabal.
Josu M. Aguirregabiria is a researcher and founder of the Sancho de Beurko Association and is currently its president. A specialist in the Civil War in Álava, he is the author of several publications related to this topic, among which "La batalla de Villarreal de Álava" (2015) y "Seis días de guerra en el frente de Álava. Comienza la ofensiva de Mola" (2018) stand out.
Despite being a very young organization, established only in June 1942, the OSS expanded rapidly, albeit with difficulties and to different degrees of penetration, through the different theaters of operations, with the exception of the Pacific which had been sharply vetoed by General Douglas MacArthur. (Later in 1944 and 1945, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz would make use of the pioneering OSS maritime unit in the invasion of the Philippines.) After the liberation of France and the stabilization of that theater of operations, the priority of the OSS immediately shifted to Germany, and after the end of the war in Europe to the Asian front. Excluded from the army and navy controlled sectors of the Pacific, the OSS devoted all its efforts to the distant China-Burma-India Theater, largely unknown to the public and regarded as the "forgotten war" of World War II (WWII). While the OSS staff assigned to that region did not reach 14% in October 1944, between June and September 1945 the region held 36% (about 4,000 people) of the total agency staff. It was the "ideal" terrain – sparsely populated with dense jungles, and a devastating monsoon climate plagued with tropical diseases – for the kind of unconventional warfare behind enemy lines that the OSS had perfected in Nazi-occupied Europe. In this way, for the first time, the OSS sent abroad a first detachment of special forces, formed by sections of special operations and secret intelligence, called "Detachment 101," which operated in the north of Japan-occupied Burma between April 1942 and 1945. The OSS had about 800 Americans and a guerrilla force of about 10,000 indigenous natives (about 9,000 Kachin who formed the "Kachin Rangers") instructed by the American agency to deal with the Japanese imperial troops.

Similarly, the OSS formed "Detachment 404" whose operational area primarily covered southern Burma, the Arakan coast (with a strong presence of the Muslim Rohingya minority, armed and trained by the British); the south of French Indochina (Cambodia and southern Vietnam), Siam (now Thailand); Malaysia; and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). The "404," officially identified by the nickname of the "US Experimental Division", was active for 21 months. It was formed by about 200 agents selected from the commandos of the operative groups, the intelligence section and the maritime unit, which acted between 1944 and 1945, with the help of Malaysian agents trained by the OSS in the United States. The headquarters of the "404" was located in Kandy (then British Ceylon, today Sri Lanka), where the Headquarters of the Allied South East Asia Command was located between 1943 and 1946, led by British Admiral Louis Mountbatten and US Lieutenant General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, who jointly coordinated their actions (unlike the "101" which retained its tactical autonomy). On February 14, 1944, Eiguren was transferred from the army to the OSS, receiving highly specialized training to serve abroad. On November 23, 1944 he was assigned to the "404".

Despite the close relations between the OSS and the Basque Government in exile, and particularly between its director, General William J. "Wild Bill" Donovan and the Lehendakari José Antonio Aguirre, the incorporation of Eiguren, and other Basque-Americans, occurred outside of this collaboration. The potential of an entire generation of young Americans of Basque origin who would join all the different branches of the US Army and on all military fronts during the course of WWII went incomprehensibly unnoticed by the Basque Government itself and its intelligence service. How many military units, exclusively Basque, could have been formed had they had hundreds of Basque-American recruits? It is particularly in the context of the 75th anniversary of the constitution of the Gernika battalion, the only Basque combatant unit in WWII, where the inquiry into the reasons behind the non-use of the Basque-American contingent by the Aguirre government becomes unavoidable.
One of the sections of the OSS that stood out, along with that of secret intelligence and special operations, was the Task Force Command (comparable to the special forces unit of the British Army, the Special Air Service (SAS) founded in July of 1941), responsible for the selection, training, equipping and activation of resistance groups in guerrilla warfare (a kind of "secret army"); for select discretionary attacks; and for surprise combat operations, limited in scope, by small special forces units. These commando units – uniformed unlike their companions in special operations – were made up of immigrants with command of foreign languages resident in the United States or by second-generation Americans who had retained their mother tongue. Most of its members were recruited from the armed forces. Native populations, ethnic or religious minorities were extolled and empowered in an effort to mobilize different populations in favor of the Allies, whether they were the "Kachin Rangers" or the failed Basque commandos of Rothschild (or Airedales) [1].
For example, among the operational groups, OGs, that served in France, those made up of French, Norwegian Americans or Italian-Americans stood out. By 1944, the OG had 2,000 men, including Germans, Greeks, and Yugoslavs (the OSS trained both partisans of the Communist Party under the leadership of Josip Broz "Tito" and the Chetniks, nationalist and anti-communist guerrillas loyal to the monarchy, of General Dragoljub "Draža" Mihailović), and Thai or Chinese anti-colonialists (the latter in 1945). As can be seen, the formation of exclusively Basque operational groups would not have been strange at all since it followed the OSS's own idiosyncrasy.

According to the military file requested from the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Eiguren worked for the "404" Services Section as a "courier" or "dispatcher," although his "special ability" was that of an "aircraft worker" without mention of the missions in which he took part. The messaging service ("courier") consisted of handling the transmission of highly classified documents, for which very high caliber personnel were hired, their work being vital for communication between the various components of the detachment. In a very few months Eiguren rose very quickly, from private to sergeant.

Among other activities, the "404" mapped the Arakan coast (full of mangroves), compiled thousands of intelligence reports, reported on Japanese submarines, helped rescue downed Allied pilots, infiltrated enemy territory, carried out dozens of sabotage missions, and organized numerous and successful operations in Thailand, including the formation of a Thai guerrilla force (some of them, students in American universities, were trained by the OSS in the USA) that did not go to war due to its immediate end. The "404" also collaborated with agents and guerrillas of the Ho Chi Minh Viet Minh in Vietnam, provided them with weapons, medicine and training, and carried out their own missions in Vietnamese territory. With the capture of Rangoon on May 2, 1945, Burma was largely liberated from Japanese occupation. The actions taken by the OSS made it easier for Thailand to maintain its sovereignty after the war, under the orbit of American foreign policy, and away from the old colonial pretensions of the United Kingdom.
Eiguren died aged 58 without revealing his real identity and work done during WWII (Basque Museum and Cultural Center).
After nine and a half months of service in Burma, Eiguren ended his work with the OSS on November 6, 1945, as part of the general demobilization program for American troops. Upon his return to the United States, he was transferred to Fort Meade, Maryland, on November 14, where he was discharged from the army. He died of a heart attack on his ranch in Emmett, Idaho, on August 7, 1976 at the age of 58. For the general public, Eiguren was another soldier in the army who served his country with honor abroad. But in reality he was a secret agent whose work in the OSS "Detachment 404" is unknown, and whose contribution to the end of the war on the Southeast Asian front was completely unknown. According to his superiors, "Sergeant Eiguren was one of the most exceptional soldiers in this Detachment" with excellent physical abilities, leadership skills and motivation, among other qualities. For the rest of the world, Eiguren was never in Burma.
