New Economist
Her eyes danced. She had never been an economist, despite loving that class in high school. Her teacher had been so relaxed, so interesting. She actually had to think in that class, even to a greater extent then the rest of her classes. It was terrific. She leaned back in her beautiful executive chair, this time not matching her brightly colored and very festive dress either. She was sure that it would match someday; the question was when, with what, and whether she'd want it to. She was certain that being mismatched said something about the personality. However, she was horrible at literature analysis, so she relegated the question to the back of her mind whereupon it was immediately molested by the monsters of apathy and indifference.
But for things like this, she had her best friend, Kenta, and his law firm to count on. And this made sense. He had been, if not wildly successful, than fairly successful. He was not wildly handsome, but fairly good-looking. He was not wildly intelligent, but he was clever by half. She pitied him, a little. He was always being overshadowed by someone else.
The ironic part is that she would have left him in a heartbeat, had it not been for the fact that he always gave her a nice little discount. Plus, since they were familiar, she could hit him up for casual advice when he wasn't thinking of all the hours he had to bill up. He grinned nervously and ran his hand through his hair again. It was a nervous tic he had, but she wasn't going to complain. If he wasn't brilliant good at what he did, at least he wasn't incompetent.
It was back into the excitingly chunky contoured room, but with a new face. Katsu Nagato was the Public Relations man. His job: To cause a fuss. The occasion: Karui Kiba going public.
"Do it," she said, simply. And they nodded. To hear is to obey.
The first of the three to go public, she thought. Make history. Live it. She allowed herself a sip of water, pretending it was wine and made of divine stuff, and awaited the future.

A top three company has a PC console being sold?
I was unaware of this and I like to be on top of my competition.

President Zabriskie was leaning back in chair, before him stood his top researcher, scientist and marketing chief. It was time for the weekly meeting, John sighed.
"First off I would like to congratulate all of you for a job well done on the Pheonix console. We finished and distributed it way before the competition did. Congratulations, expect bonuses in your next paycheck. Now on to the next order of business, marketing." President Zabriskie motioned for the marketing chief to begin.
Toby turned around and picked up a flyer, "Sir, my team and I have worked on several posters and flyers for you to choose. All of them are centralized on the Pheonix console and its benefits over the competition."
"Very well lets see them." Replied John.
After seeing all of the posters, President Zabriskie said, "Post them all! Or as many as our budget will allow. We must get the message out to the people. Have you worked on a television commercial yet?"
"Yes sir, but we haven't finished yet, but we did finish the newspaper articles, and contacted several national papers to publish the article. And the radio station has agreed to air out daily mentions of the Pheonix system. Hopefully this will bring in enough money to continue our television commercial funding." Toby said.
"Good job.... you may all now leave, I have business with my financial advisors." The three men shook hands and left. Frank then entered and promptly sat down, President Zabriskie watched him for a while before speaking, "Well, Frank... have you looked into the possibility of going public or private?"
"Yes sir, I believe we will have an edge on the competition if we stay private, we are still making money and we are in an ideal location, I forsee no problems financially if we stay private." Frank replied.
"Very well it is settled, Zabriskie Entertainment will stay private. Thank you Frank."
President Zabriskie turned to his computer where he watches his competition closely in the news articles and stock markets.

He was running down the hall, as he had never ran before. Shouting everybode had to clear way! As he stormed down the office of Thurston he came to his sences: "What have i done?? I just stormed down into my boss' office! Well, here my career ends."
Thurston looked at him with an expression of fear, humor and anger.
"So tell me, why did you just attack the door to enter my office in the most elegant way possible?"
Was that sarcasme? Did he still have a chance? There was nothing else to loose so he went for it:
"Sir, I have to greatest idea ever for our new game!" If we just ******** (technical talk) we can increase the speed of the game, we can expand our graphics and teh players will have a much more realistic game!"
Thurston looked him right in the eyes and just stared....
"Firts of all: IT'S NOT SIR!!!" It's Thurston"
He started laughing and our programmer took a deep breath.
"This would really help our project further! Keep up the good work, but next time: just walk to here and then talk about it.

Press conference in Nuclear Kid Industries headquarters (London, England)
Ryan: Are we set?
Jobe: Yes sir!
Security: The press conference is open!
(Cameras flash as Ryan walks into the room, several reporters raise their hands eagerly)
Ryan: You, in the back
Press: Sir, will the new "Invasion" game be out at AEE?
Ryan smiled. This is just what he wanted for the game. Exitement
Ryan: I don't know about 100% complete, but it will be out as soon as possible. We are thinking about somewhere in the next 5 to 6 months. You in the front.
Press: Will this game feature vehicles, and if so, will there be zombie vehicles?
Ryan: (laughs) Yes, so far, we have the Crusader tank, the F-21, and the Patriot Missle system. For the zombies, they have an unnamed air craft that looks like a seat between 2 large wheels, that we are also going to probably allow on the ground to be a zombie light tank. We are probably going to add more, and the Zombie vehicle will probably be player optional. Other than those few, we are still working on more Ideas. Yes, to the right?
Press: Will this be a run and gun or stop and pop shooter?
Ryan: I am actually leaning to stop and pop. Why? John doesn't have high futeristic armor, he just has todays weapons, and some zombie ones. The only protection he has is a bullet proof vest that might save him from a few shots, but not many. I decided stop and pop would be a little more realistic, but the vehicles will probably follow the run and gun. It is a bit of a mix. One last question.
Press: Are you considering doind this for just one consel?
Ryan: Depends if I get any offers!

Jobe: Yes sir!

Game Name: World War One: The Great War
Game Type: Strategy
Console(s): PC
Development Status:
Description: A high-end, realistic strategy game based on WW1, the first such in a new series of war-based games. There will be online and microphone support, command points, resource-gathering by killing units, and will focus on years 1914-1916. A collector's edition will be released, with exclusive copies of WW1 maps, a collector's box, Behind the Scenes DVD, and some exclusive features.
Story:
The press begins clicking its cameras, huge streaming lights go on and off...
Just like the old days...
Johnny Dreams steps up, and begins his speech:
"We are the new Dreamsoft Studios, and we are committed to creating new innovations in gaming. Many of our employees were lower-ranked staff in other gaming companies, but they have all brought new ideas to the table. Let me show you some of our exclusive footage..."
The huge TV begins playing a video...
A well-dressed couple are in a car, going down the street. Suddenly, a person appears, and throws a projectile at the car. The male passenger gets up and kicks the projectile. In a few seconds, the projectile explodes away from the car. As the car swerves, a man appears, and takes out a gun. He shoots the couple, and blood splatters. The assassin is taken away, and the view blacks out...
Next, the familiar view of the battlefield occurs, but it seems weird, there are no soldiers. The an Austrian voice pops out, subtitles are there in English: Bad news, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, has been assassinated. We'll need you on the front, so we'll be training you. After the 10 minute tutorial, action begins... you are in charge of an Austrian division, rolling into Serbia. Smoke and artillery barrages are shown in great detail, and the soldiers go through...
Soon, a young soldiers is running away from bullets, and is hit on the shoulder, the scene fades for a moment...
Then it returns as:
World War One: The Great War
Coming out soon for the PC"
One reporter asks: How soon?
Johnny replies: Whenever we're ready...
And he turns his back on the press, and walks away...
