We will keep fighting for all libraries - stand with us. Over the years, Geoff has been a caster for major StarCraft II tournament organizers including MLG, NASL, and Dreamhack. The team was established in 1999 and has developed from being a clan, into a 'new media agency specializing in contracting professional gamers, creating online and offline video game broadcasts, and developing engaging marketing initiatives aimed at attracting and influencing gamers worldwide. In the early 2000s, they competed in StarCraft: Brood War later, they became professional StarCraft II players, shoutcasters, and expert denizens of the analyst desk. While still actively competing in the game, iNcontroL also served as a commentator and analyst before transitioning into a broadcasting role full-time. A staple of the StarCraft community, Geoff iNcontroL Robinson has been around since the days of Brood War and was a founding member of the StarCraft II division of Evil Geniuses. Geoff iNcontroL Robinson and Dan Artosis Stemkoski are two of the StarCraft community’s most beloved personalities. He was a steady presence at early Major League Gaming events in the title and was regarded by many as one of North America’s top talents. His profile grew following the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in 2010. INcontroL began his career as a StarCraft: Brood War player, joining Evil Geniuses’ inaugural StarCraft roster in 2009 and staying with the organization until the disbandment of the team in 2017. He was streaming on Twitch as recently as July 19, just two days prior to his death. “Geoff is deeply loved across many communities and we’re all working to make sure his affairs are in order as he’d want….Let’s live today in his example of love and laughter.”Ī cause of death is unclear. We ask privacy as his family works to understand what happened and make arrangements,” the statement said. Incontrol was not fazed by the loss, and stated that he was looking forward to 6-8 days immediately after the match when Reddit would decide to love him again.“With immense grief, we announce Geoff’s unexpected passing due to sudden illness Saturday. INControL (real name Geoffrey Vincent Robinson) was a former StarCraft and StarCraft II player for team Evil Geniuses who later became a professional caster for the StarCraft II World Championship series and SHOUTCraft Kings. “iNcontroL is the best American BW player turned SC2 player turned part-time caster who is still currently on EG,” said Destiny, “so it’s a big win for me.” The landmark win was his first headline in recent years that did not involve DDOS, hate speech, penis pictures, or League of Legends. “And we all know what that means: dead game.”ĭestiny, like Prime’s MarineKing, returned to StarCraft after discovering other games were too difficult. “Without these players, it would only be Koreans placing high,” said user HoldMeGrack. The showmatch, considered by fans as the “battle of the year” between the world’s best two non-Korean StarCraft 2 players, featured a controversial North American Zerg against a Protoss on EG’s payroll. In a close 2-1 victory, Steven “Destiny” Bonnell prevailed over EG’s Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson in TotalBiscuit’s “Bitcoin StarCraft” showmatch that featured a $4,000 to $10,000 prize pool, depending on what time of day you checked. ![]() ![]() Avast is the champion with 170 percent due to the fact that it automatically scans absolutely all downloads as files land on your PC.

I visited the Lake Chelan Wineries on my way to British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley wineries in Canada. Many of the wineries in the Lake Chelan appellation (a sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley AVA) leave their doors open year-round. Lake Chelan is the 11 th AVA (American Viticultural Area) in Washington State.ĭesignated as an official American Viticulture Area (AVA) in 2009, Lake Chelan offers a one-of-a-kind wine tasting experience featuring wineries hugging the shores of a breathtaking lake. Consistently ranked as one of the most pristine waters in the United States, at 1,486 feet, Lake Chelan is the third deepest lake in the nation. Lake Chelan’s 50-mile length acts as a natural conduit between the rugged mountain peaks up-lake and the lush, fertile down-lake valley. This beautiful region is located in north central Washington and now offers more than thirty wineries. The relatively cool climate of the gorgeous Lake Chelan Valley is unique in Washington because most of the wine comes from much warmer wine growing regions. I love this overview of the many Washington’s Wine Regions that I have visited including: the Columbia, Lake Chelan, Walla Walla and Yakima Valleys and some of their sub-appellations. Three of them share territory with Oregon State one is shared with Idaho. Washington’s 14th AVA – the Lewis-Clark Valley– is shared with Idaho. Located on approximately the same latitude (46ºN) as some of the great French wine regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, Washington State wine country now includes 14 federally recognized American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), commonly known as appellations. Map of Washington highlighting Walla Walla County Washington Malbec wine from the Walla Walla Valley AVA Lower land costs in Washington have given grape growers and winemakers the freedom to experiment with different varietals and wine-making techniques. Napa grapes command very high prices so Napa concentrates on commercially-viable varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The cost of land in Napa Valley or the Willamette Valley is quite a bit higher than in Washington. Vineyard canopies can be controlled by irrigation management and grapes can fully ripen here, bringing complex fruit flavors, good acid levels and pleasing aromatics to Washington wines. The resulting dry climate combines with long daylight hours at this northern latitude to create prime wine-growing conditions in the lands of eastern Washington. Very little moisture reaches the east side of these towering mountains and a “rain shadow” effect keeps more than half of Washington State’s territory arid to semi-arid. ![]() ![]() The Puget Sound AVA/appellationis the only officially recognized wine region on the west side of the Cascades. Vineyards on the east side of the Cascades grow about 99% of Washington’s wine grapes, and 13 of the state’s 14 official AVAs/appellations are located here. This is where the bulk of the vineyards are located in Washington. The Cascade Mountains form a massive barrier, keeping the eastern portion of Washington state very dry. The number of Washington wineries has increased 400% in the last decade, creating a multi-million dollar wine-tourism industry. Washington is the second-largest producer of wine in the country (California is #1), across a wide range of styles and quality levels. Leading roles in this natural drama are played by verdant coastal ranges and the rugged Cascade Mountains. The dramatic beauty of the Pacific Northwest is legendary.

The Tox Box was released in 2002, but the Nuon-enhanced features were not present. Toxic Avenger Part III was also supposed to have Nuon-enhanced features. The Tox Box, a box set containing part 1, 2 and 3 was intended to have a fourth disc containing Nuon-enhanced features. No known prototype disc of The Toxic Avenger has surfaced, and the only evidence is discussions from The 2001 Chiller Theatre Expo. The contents were then destroyed All that remains of these auctions are the images of the two prototype discs. According to Nuon-dome, the auction was a former employee at VM Labs and was taken down because the contents were considered stolen property. Also, alleged Nuon-enhanced movie prototype discs for both Galaxy Quest and Stigmata appeared on an eBay auction. A prototype of a Nuon-enhanced version of Galaxy Quest was featured at the VM Labs booth at CES 2001 According to a reporter, Dexter Davenport, this prototype contained “a feature that could show all the best lines from the movie, enabling the viewer to get an overview of the movie from different perspectives." Not much else is known about this demonstration disc or any other planned or implemented features. The three movies that were known to have unreleased Nuon-enhanced editions were Galaxy Quest (1999), Stigmata (1999), and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie (1989). DoLittle 2 (2001), Planet of the Apes (2001), and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984). The following four movies were given official Nuon-enhanced releases: Bedazzled (2000), Dr. While information on Nuon games is elusive, more information is available on the movies. The Nuon-dome fansite has descriptions for some other games, but no new box art is present and most screenshots are marked with disclaimers that they are from different systems. Prototype footage from the Nuon version of aMaze exists on YouTube, and two concept videos for Native for the Nuon have surfaced. Very little information remains for the other games. ![]() Monopoly shows up in the archives of the VM Labs online store, though it is marked as coming soon The site contains working links for pages specific to Bust-a-Move-4, Myst, Monopoly, and aMaze containing box art, descriptions, and even screenshots. The latest working archive of the official Nuon site lists aMaze, Myst, Monopoly, Bust-A-Move 4, The Game of Life, Speedball 2100, zCards, and Breakout as all being in development at the time. However, descriptions and cover art for some of the alleged 38 games are present on either Nuon-dome or archives of the original official site. No other Nuon game prototypes are known to exist. ![]() The user received the game in October 2001 from VM Labs to help with playtesting and claims the game is nearly 100% complete and working, though the two-player mode causes performance issues However, the current holder does not want to release his prototype to the public. ![]() The one existing unreleased Nuon game prototype, Bust-a-Move 4, is currently held by a member of the Nuon-dome fansite, who has posted a review of the game and two videos of the game in action. However, the last working archive of the official Nuon website only features eight currently unreleased games marked work-in-progress Enthusiast sites, such as Nuon-dome, list as many as 38 games that were discussed. However, multiple other projects were in development at VM Labs prior to the discontinuation of the Nuon. The following eight games comprise the entire official Nuon game library: Tempest 3000, Iron Soldier 3, Space Invaders XL, Ballistic, Merlin Racing, The Next Tetris, Freefall 3050 A.D., and Crayon-Shin-Chan 3 (South Korea only). Genesis Microchip then dropped the platform in 2003, and that was the end of the Nuon. VM Labs declared bankruptcy and was bought out in 2002 by Genesis Microchip. However, due to a combination of the dot-com bubble burst, the 9/11 attacks, competition with other sixth-generation video game consoles (primarily the PlayStation 2 and Xbox), and simply running out of money due to low returns on licensing, the Nuon was a financial failure, with only eight games and four enhanced movies ever officially released. It would not be until October 27th, 1998, that VM Labs formally revealed Project X's final name, Nuon, to be released in 1999. ![]() |
