	Mob (computer gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mob is not to be confused with MOB (more often considered an acronym of Movable Object Block, a term for any on-screen moving object, or sprite, stemming from its use in the earliest text-based multi-user dungeons (MUDs)).
		Elite mobs, as in the game World of Warcraft, are special rarer monsters that are tougher than their regular counterparts and usually have better loot.
		Named mobs are distinguished by having a proper name rather than being referred to by their mob type (goblin, citizen, etc.) and are often key to the objective of missions or quests.

		Mob Rule places you in the role of a small-time thug with big-time dreams: to rise from obscurity and become Godfather of the national crime syndicate.
		Promotional material for Mob Rule bills it as a seedier version of Sim City, and an initial impression of the game would lead one to believe that this is a fair assessment.
		Of course, the mob just wouldn't be the mob without its inter-family rivalries, and therefore it won't be too long before other bosses start to horn in on the player's territory.

		First the game, created by Colorado's Danny Ledonne as a way to deal with his reaction to the shootings, was selected as a finalist for the annual Slamdance Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition.
		The point of this style of game is to allow players to do what they want and then have their actions affect the world in which they are playing.
		The end result is a game that manages to include a majority of the original film but also strays from it to explore the greater mythos created by the story.

	Welcome to FlashMobComputing.org
		Because the computers drawing the various parts of the screen don't have to talk to each other, the computers can be far apart, and if one of the computers fails it's no big deal because the other computers aren't waiting for each others results.
		Consequently, the computers need to be close together so they can talk very quickly, and they have to be very reliable because they're counting on each other.
		Grid Computers are very good for problems like Shrek, but not so good for Billiard Ball type problems simply because the worst computer on a grid computer is usually pretty bad and nodes on a grid fail often so there's lots of waiting and lots of redos.

		The action is surrounded with more than 80 hand-painted comic-screens that enhance the game's gritty atmosphere and attitude, introduce the game's murderous cast of characters, and carry the plot from one location to the next.
		The game's use of Max's heartbeat to slow down the action is unforgettable, and having to use it only in times of trouble is amazing.
		This was the first game to feature "bullet time", which allows the player to slow down the action and perform fancy dive and jump moves while blasting their weapon at a target in slo-mo. Couple this with a good story and vengeance and you have a winning game.

		In both games you play a character with mob connections that spends most of his time on a virtual crime spree.
		Later in the game some of the models you have access to can really cruise, and thumbing your nose at the cops becomes more fun than fruitless, although youâll still want to play it safe when the mission is at stake.
		One mission that involves skulking around a seemingly abandoned farm during a nighttime rainstorm is honestly a bit creepy, and is one of the standouts of the game.
