Global Conflicts: Palestine on CNN

What time is that in EST? Maybe I'll watch. Congrats on getting on the news.

 

Rock on! Would someone volunteer to tape the segment and share it out for those of us who won't be able to watch the first time?

 

Oh, 2 PM Friday? I'll definitely check it out. Keep it up!

 

Congrats for that!!!

 

awesome. i'll be watching it here.

 

Finished the video this morning...

Here are some stills I made for a mail to friends...

 

Great Job! Good for you! Just remember your early customers when you are all rock stars :cry: sniff sniff

Great work!!

 

she's polishing up nicely! great work and look forward to watching the program!

 

Whoah...shadows. Nice.

wow, this looks fantastic. i'm really interested in the gameplay, how choices affect outcomes, what practical aspects you are in control of etc. i imagine getting it all to work realistically with the AI environment must have been quite a challenge.

i don't know if i've said it in the past but this is such a great idea for interactive media (and so important topical a subject), glad somebody is attempting it ; )

 

Record it and share with youtube or silmiliar?
anyone?

 

Unfortunately, I don't have the tools to do so, or I would.

 

I don't have a tv. If I did I would so watch this.

 

It looks like CNN.com has a video streaming service. It doesn't seem too expensive, $3 a month with your second month free. It uses Windows Media Player 9, and Mac users are instructed to install that and run Safari in Rosetta. Heh. Their free trial worked fine in Flip4Mac.

I may still do it, unless someone has a better idea.

Damn, now that its been moved up a week I can't see it. i have school til 2:17 on normal days. Today was my only chance, since its midterms week.

 

*Bump*, because today's the day.

Anyone recording it?

-Jon

 

hey thanks for reminding me i forgot!

i can't record it unfortunately but i can't wait to watch it ; )

 

Argh! I only caught the last part. If someone has a digital copy of it, please say something!

 

i recorded it on my dad's pvr, but can only upload it tomorrow when i visit him.

 

Cool. I am looking forward to seeing it.

 

Can anyone who saw it give a brief review of what was discussed?

 

ok, i'm extremely sorry, the recording turned out to be worthless.
i have about 4 minutes of a media discussion panel preceeding the serious games report.

(my dad confessed he turned it off because he didn't knew what was going on – i told him before but i guess he forgot because of the one week delay)

bummer! i hope somebody else caught it!?

 

I taped CNN from 2pm to 4pm EST, and it wasn't there. Just a bunch of talking heads telling each other about a kidnapped child who had just been found. Since it was "breaking news" it took them about an hour to give out about 5 minutes worth of information.

Perhaps I should have been taping one of CNN's sister channels?

 

lol this is almost embarrassing, the amount of nerds trying to record it, and not one has gotten it right so far =P
(damn... why dont i have cnn =/ )

 

man, tv is such an inferior technology.

 

Yeah, we should all get broadcast signals displayed over the water in our toilets by using fiberoptic self-cleaning cables that have the technology to rearrange themselves in real-time so that our signal doesn't get distorted if the water moves! >_> Never mind. As soon as this is on the web I will watch it.

 

I know that for me here in San Francisco I was unable to watch the segment at all. The reason is that the show, International Correspondents, is aired on CNN International (yes, a sister station) and we don't get that channel here. <sigh>

Oh well, I went to CNN's site and signed up for their video on demand service (thanks for the tip John ) and watched it from there. The on-demand piece is titled "Virtual reporting" and it's a 3-minute segment on the game. Simon from Serious Games is interviewed by a CNN reporter. They discuss game play and the overall goal of the game in that it might help folks see the issue from another point of view. All the while a demo reel of game play is being shown, with occasional edits to Simon being interviewed.

Congrats to all the guys at Serious Games for finding their way on to CNN like that! 8)

Tip: you can sign up for a year of CNN's on-demand video service (requires credit card info ), then cancel at no cost within two weeks. That is plenty of time to sign up, watch the "Virutal reporting" segment, then opt out...

 

looks very nice, cheers david.

 

Thank you very much David!

 

Hmm, it doesn't seem to be working :/

 

For those (for some weird reason)not being able to watch the video(Thx Dave for link!!) the transcript is here:

Wow--really cool. And some nice realistic character motion.

 

I also found something about GC in german.
It was the part of the TV-show neues about the Gamedays 2007 in Darmstadt.
