New Batman Video Game Gets “Mature” Rating
In the latest installment in the Arkham series – “Arkham Knight” – Batman is getting an “M” rating for being a little more gritty than what has preceeded him in the game world. The graphics look almost lifelike and the superhero’s physique daunting and dark.
“We want to deliver a true end with no compromises,” said developer Sefton Hill, “And it takes us to some dark places.” Places most Batman and gamer fans are only all too eager to see. Let’s hope Affleck looks like that in 2016.
Alibaba Tops Amazon’s Drone Stunt
The Asian ecommerce giant, Alibaba, is delivering 450 packets of ginger tea to inhabitants of Shanghai, Bejing, and Guangzhou during a three day limited test of its drone delivery system in order to create “unique and innovative shopping experiences.” Drones will ship within an hour of customers ordering online.
While legislation and the public fear of tiny delivery flying machines possibly accidentally causing deaths remain in the way of a general adoption of this system, one can imagine a world before airplanes compared to the present day – the world’s interpersonal ecosystem simply would not work correctly according to modern standards without them in the sky. It is imagined that in a few years’ time, the same will be said of delivery drones.
Pizza anyone?
New Local Entrepreneur Event: 1MillionCupsSyr
Launching this Wednesday, February 25, the Syracuse CoWorks are now hosting a weekly entrepreneur event entitled 1MillionCups, meeting every Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the new Syracuse CoWorks space to bring entrepreneurs, business people, and innovators together to assist each other in creating successful businesses and overcoming problems. The organization is part of a national model that exists in many major cities “caffeinated by Kauffman Labs.”
“It’s not a sales pitch, it’s a group therapy session where entrepreneurs can get candid advice from other business owners,” John Talarico, Cofounder of Avenue 80, Inc. and Chair of Syracuse CoWorks. Different from Shark Tank or a TED Talk, 1MC is a group support session: a time-limited 6-minute description of what a business person is doing now, followed by 20 minutes of Q&A where the audience gives ideas for business solutions or innovations.
The first presenter was Alyssa Blazina, Foudner and CEO of BizHubCNY who explained her developing company to help local businesses in the procurement process. (For the full New Times article on BizHub, click here.)
