  The Generation Game - UKGameshows
The Generation Game involved four couples where the two members of each team were a generation apart (hence the 'generation' bit of 'The Generation Game').
Of course, when he sang "Life is the name of the game" which is wrong of course, since The Generation Game was the name of the game.
An anagram of Bruce Forsyth's Generation Game is Embarrassing Ego of the Century.

 Generations0010
The most famous generation, of course, is that of the Baby Boomers, born between the end of World War II and the early 1960s, and their most enduring contribution to the generation gap is the 'Generation Gap' between children and their parents.
The generation game is played with particular vigour in cultural commentary, but its reach seems to be extending all the time.
The generation gap was only heightened by the fact that the war took place during the last decade of an unprecedented (and subsequently unrivalled) 25-year boom.

Generation of Chaos is based on the PS2 version of Generation of Chaos IV (that was released in Japan), but with a new storyline.
Then you would have some idea of its story, but from what we know so far, one of the main characters by the name of Allen of Zodia is on a mission to try and end all wars and bring peace to the land of Duke.

They are not generally open to the younger generations, in part because they are their parents.
They were generally thrilled at the opportunity of moving to Berlin, home to Europe's most sophisticated music scene, and many already knew the city from their studies.
The ROI for an executive development assignment is generally to ensure that an employee is better prepared to operate in the international environment, that is, development of intercultural competencies.

Generation X are brash, cynical and motivated by self interest.
The Generation Y group are motivated by fun, work satisfaction, social responsibility, corporate integrity and honesty, work opportunities and not money.
Given that Generation Y are making up more and more of our workforce they will eventually be the ones making the rules.

 Grand Text Auto » Split Infinity Game Generation
A generative system to create new games would probably be easier to apply in an experimental, co-operative environment where people are looking for new experiences and challenges rather than trying to compete for recognition.
Also, a generative system like this would to some extent be a collaboration between human players and an AI, to create a new game.
Another interesting “game” in a Anthony novel is the “hypnogourd,” a sort of fantasy VR device, where peering into a hole in a gourd transports you into a world full of various dangerous puzzle-challenges.

 EGGG: Automated programming for game generation
The game has levels (as in arcade games where a succession of foes need to be defeated).
It is fast enough for arcade games; its support for regular expressions makes parsing the game descriptions efficient; its built-in hash tables are ideal for representing nested data structures; and it has powerful and free mechanisms for networking, persistent storage, and database support.
is able to generate three types of multiplayer games: those with no spatial meaning, like networked text games; games where each player has his or her own side of a grid or canvas (chess, Chinese checkers); and games where the orientation is fixed (Scrabble, Monopoly**).

Portal was meant to be a good game, I completed it in about 3 or 4 hours and expected the entire game just to be the first level.
Installing the game was a nightmare too, I had to install it about 10 times because the installer kept breaking.
The game cost me £15 and I'm thinking about trying to get my money back, the game its self was only bearable because of the funny AI, Some puzzles made you think but I only died 6 times, 3 of them were at the final boss.

 The generation game | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
The increasing weakness of the case against a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK is reflected in the shifting ground of arguments used against them.
The maintenance of nuclear's current share of our power generation mix - and I know of nobody who is talking about increasing it - is simply a sensible, medium-term contribution to a balanced energy policy.
Hopefully, by the time this generation of stations has delivered its contribution to our needs, there will indeed be other technologies to fill the gap.

 The Generation Game, again at John Quiggin
Generational and other forms of categorization (whether or not it’s of any value) is essential to marketers trying to pitch their services to those with goods and services to sell.
That isn’t just an attack on generation X (rather an attack unfairly biased toward all younger groups), so there is indeed something to complain about (or, at least as the Australian realizes, to work somewhere-else about).
The fad for generational experience stuff is largely about the grand narrative sweep of hypothesis and supposition spiced with the odd bit of demographic analysis.

 GAME INDUSTRY'S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN : Next Generation - Interactive Entertainment Today, Video Game and Industry ...
Games are no longer produced for a niche market of players; they are produced for complex, over-lapping layers of demographically, geographically, socially and culturally-influenced consumer groups.
To demonstrate the broad range of women in games who are today’s representatives and purveyors of these ideas, Next Generation has compiled their list of top women in games, from luminaries to lesser known members of the game community.
I would love to hear from some of these top 100 women in the gaming industry as to why this is the case, especially now when the industry is apparently 'bored' of the 'basement jacks' churning out games for the sake of it...

 Nintendo may introduce next-generation Game Boy in 2005 - Mar. 1, 2005
If so, that would be the third new handheld gaming system in as many years for Nintendo, whose Nintendo DS was one of the hottest items of the 2004 holiday season and Game Boy Advance SP was one of the must-have gifts of 2003.
Official confirmation of the new Game Boy could come as early as March 10, when Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is scheduled to give a keynote speech entitled "The Heart of a Gamer" at the upcoming Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco.
Releasing a new Game Boy on the heels of the Nintendo DS, which features two screens and a touch pad, might seem a bit odd, but Nintendo has been quite vocal in saying the two systems are built for different audiences.

 Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2 (Game Boy Advance) Game Boy Advance Game reviews - CNET Reviews
In Original Generation 2, the story always starts out the same way, but there are various points in the plot that branch off, letting you choose to follow either one group of characters or another for the next sequence of missions.
The game measures damage by the thousands of points, and this, along with some insanely over-the-top attack animations (many of them new or redrawn since the last game), really does create the sense that immensely powerful war machines are doing battle.
This game is practically bursting with great mechs and characters, but you'll naturally want to stick to some personal favorites, so that they can gain most of the battlefield experience, benefit from purchased upgrades, and use some of the powerful items you find.

 The Independent: Brian Eno's generation game
In turn, the software he used to create Generative Music 1 - Koan from SSEYO - has also performed well and with the appearance of Koan plug-ins for Netscape Navigator is gaining ground as a method of embedding small, quickly downloadable music files in Web pages on the Internet.
Eno's starting point was a search for a new form of music, one that was generated by a set of rules so that every time it is heard it is different to any other time and yet recognisable as the same piece.
When generative music is running in the background the demands on system resources are minimal, which means that you can happily have it playing through your computer's speakers while you work with other programs.

 » The Generation Game » David McWilliams » Archive
The Juggler Generation - those in their early 20s to late 30s - have been caught on the wrong side of the property boom and have paid 14 times their annual salary for starter homes which are now falling in value.
And as the Jaggers were the last generation of Irish people to have children in their early 20s, there is every likelihood that their dauphins will be in their 60s when they get their mits on the lolly.
To summarize, the Generation game (as argued here, though perhaps your book makes a more convincing case) is a nuanced look at Irish society but I don’t believe it provides a reliable tool for analysing our political future.

 Game on: PS3, Wii finally hitting stores - CNET News.com
For longer than many would care to remember, the video game industry has been all but consumed with speculation about which of the three new consoles--Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 or Nintendo's Wii--would become top dog.
People voted with their wallets, and offering new versions of mostly the same games is what seem to be paying the bills.
The current main stream games will always be mainstream, but I really do like how Nintendo prioritizes "fun to play" before "realistic looking".

 Next Generation Game Concepts
As games are getting more expensive to make, and next generation consoles are limited to a smaller audience of early adaptors at launch, the role of original intellectual properties take on a different meaning early in a console's life cycle.
Certainly the next generation of consoles in the Xbox 360 and PS3 are far more powerful than their predecessors and that gives game developers broad options to do things we haven't been able to do before and provide experiences for players they haven't had before.
So, higher quality games and successful pairings like that of THQ and Pixar are likely to cause the gaming and the film industries to deepen their ties.

Of course, the wind farm will only generate when the wind is blowing, but it would be generating most of the time, as a wind speed of as little of 3m/s is enough to start production.
The UK is taking steps to change the way it generates power and, rather than building new coal or nuclear stations, has decided to increase the proportion of renewable and sustainable generation.
Because the wind is a natural resource, the turbine will generate when there is wind and would typically be generating for 85pc of the time, although the output will vary with the strength of the wind.

So two generations of fathers were mostly away at the world wars and missed out on the most formative years of their children.
Our generation paid lip-service to the modern idea that a baby's father might actually attend the birth and cracked the odd joke about male chauvinists refusing to do their share of nappy changing, but Dad's Lib, that important spin-off from Women's Lib, had barely begun in our day.
And of course they yearn to pass on their accumulated knowledge and wisdom to the next generation, and to save them from their mistakes.

New to the GDC agenda this year is something called the "Vision Track," a series of lectures on the future of game design and other 'big picture' issues.
Molyneux figures that next-generation games (and by this he means not necessarily games developed for next-generation hardware, just titles aimed at bigger audiences with higher standards in the years to come) will require several things to take off:
But The Movies is a complicated game concept, with a studio-building part of the game, a strategic element, and the filming of actual movies themselves.
