Ken Castle is extremely rich, popular and powerful since he invented and started exploiting the virtual online parallel reality games, in which people can either pay as user or be paid as 'actor' in a system of mind-control. The ultimate version, Slayers, fields death row convicts as gladiators in a desperate dim bid for survival, which no-one made yet. The champion, John 'Kable' Tillman, was scheduled to die just before he'ld gain release, but he persuades his teenage 'handler' to hand over the reins so he can fully use his talents and experience. Thus Kable escapes to freedom, only to be chased illegally by Castle's men, yet fights back all the way to his HQ and challenges his evil hidden plans.

(at around 1 min) Another mistake of writing &kable& using Arabic letters is that they are not connected. In languages where Arabic letters are used for writing, letters of a word should be connected otherwise it is not readable (or very difficult to read).

User Reviews
Three films in one -- nuanced & stimulating in every way
The premise of "Gamer" is resoundingly simple: What if gamers could control actual people? Coming into the theater, due to the simple premise and embarrassingly poor marketing of the film, I was expecting a brainless, adolescently indulgent action flick. What I got was a mind-blowing surprise."Gamer" is three films in one: (1) Subculture examinatio (2) Pulse-p (3) Thought-provoking science fiction piece.As others have mentioned, this film truly brings the gamer experience to the big screen. The battle shots bring MMORPG first-person shooters to real life, and the Sims/Second Life-like scenes played just as true, right down to the robotic, singlemindedly determined motion of the characters. The directors obviously spent many long hours gaming in preparation for this film (or just for fun).As an action film, "Gamer" holds its own, delivering plenty of fights, battle scenes, and adrenaline-soaked moments. Hollywood knows how to do action, and in "Gamer" you see some of what it has learned from films like "The Matrix", "Saving Private Ryan", and others. I won't say too much, but there's a particularly juicy scene involving some kind of giant snowplow."Gamer" shines most brightly, and most unexpectedly, as a science fiction piece. The film interweaves themes familiar to our 2009 reality, including economic desperation, prison overcrowding, the fallout of materialism, and technology naively promoted as a panacea for society's ills."Gamer" shows us a society addicted to technology at the expense of facing reality. Masses of gamers, locked in adolescence or enraptured by the promise of mindless self-indulgence without consequence, living solely through their avatars. Desperate segments of society, the poor and criminal, who have surrendered control of their bodies to the will of gamers. A populace that embraces televised war games as a solution to prison overcrowding, rather than addressing the true causes of mass imprisonment. The megalomaniacal pushers of technology running largely unchecked as the masses surrender control.Michael C. Hall delivers a breakout silver screen performance as the multifaceted Ken Castle -- after his great work in Six Feet Under, this is another power move for his career. Kyra Sedgwick nails her cougar reporter character, who begins the film as another no-conscience profiteer but becomes more through the course of the film. And Gerard Butler plays the hero archetype admirably, as every bit of the man who his spoiled teenage gamer-puppeteer cannot become."Gamer" may end up as a cult classic, a slowly growing mainstream success, or could stay underrated indefinitely, but it's definitely worth a view.

从 1984 开始走向街头：聊聊 adidas ZX 系列 30 年进化史
时值旗下 ZX 系列跑鞋 30 周岁生日，adidas 特别在近日举办了一场“肆放街头”活动来与潮流爱好者们共同庆祝，相关的庆祝活动将持续今年整年。而 30 年前，因为设计师“希望打造一款性能卓越的功能跑鞋”的初衷，ZX 在德国巴伐利亚诞生，经历 30 年的变迁直到今天，ZX 不仅依然活跃，并且还从当年的跑鞋成为当下潮流界的宠儿，出现在更多领域，为更多人所喜爱。那么在这 30 年当中，ZX 都有着怎样丰富的经历和有趣的故事呢？这次我们就借此话题，并和两位潮流圈的伙伴一起来聊聊这样一款既有历史烙印、又能始终保持流行和前卫的鞋款吧。相关信息：跳转到 adidas 最近上线的“肆放街头”活动。▲近期 adidas&在 举行的庆祝活动。当中的“azx”是 adidas Originals 和 22 个最有名潮流店铺合作推出的 26 款联名款，这次也是非常少见的集体亮相。▲JUICE 老板陈冠希也亲自到场，分享了自己和 ZX 的故事，对这次活动和 ZX 可是非常重视。1984，为跑者设计故事要从上世纪 70 年代末说起，当时人们对跑步项目的逐渐重视使得市场上急需一款能帮助提速的新鞋。而在 adidas 位于德国巴伐利亚的 Scheinfeld 工厂里也有两位设计师 Jacques Chassaing、Markus Thaler 正致力于打造一款从外观到性能都能带来全方位突破的跑鞋。1984 年，第一款 adidas ZX 500 诞生，并以其优良的功能考虑和前卫的配色设计得到了热情追捧：专业运动员穿着它进行训练和参赛，而潮流爱好者们也为它的大胆配色设计而疯狂着迷。▲2012 年推出的 ZX 500 原款复刻版。▲今年特别推出的 ZX 500 编织版本，跳转阅读实验室的相关报道。▲adidas ZX 系列的缔造者：Jacques Chassaing（左）和 Markus Thaler（右）。如果说 adidas ZX 500 的诞生具有重要意义，那我们会认为，比它本身更值得纪念的是将运动科技与潮流设计融为一体的全新审美理念，并且 ZX 也确实做到了。1989，在尝试与突破中脱颖而出的 adidas ZX 700随着 ZX 500 的大获成功，adidas 的设计师们也似乎找到了一个可以不断突破市场也挑战自我的方式。他们开始以 ZX 500 为初代原型进行了更多设计尝试，例如思考如何提升穿着舒适度，或者是否可以在外观设计中加入更强烈刚劲的元素……1989 年，一款具有跨世代意义的 ZX 700 脱颖而出，而它也凭借着在当时独树一帜的流线型修长外观和更好的穿着体验成为哪怕在今天依旧能保持高人气的经典款型。跟潮流圈伙伴聊聊他们和 ZX 的故事大鼓楼：“不同型号和颜色能让我在不同领域穿梭自如”他是，是热爱生活又闲不住的设计师、演员、旧物店主、造型师，也是对生活有追求的先锋艺术家、占星师、编剧，撰稿人和美食侦探；他钟情户外运动，创立了大力玩组织，倡导“户外，生活，家”的理念，还设计了环保再利用的户外品牌“丸”系列产品。实验室：聊聊你和你的第一款 ZX 的故事吧？大鼓楼：我的第一款 ZX 是朋友送的，当时我还在穿别的牌子的鞋跑步，他说你可以试试这双 ZX，说实话我对于跑鞋还是比较挑剔的，因为对于喜欢跑步的人来说，鞋不舒服还不如不穿，而且 ZX 系列在外观设计上有更加潮流，这让我多多少少对这双鞋有一些“偏见”，但是入脚后的舒适感让我有些小意外，并不像一些品牌的鞋好看却不舒适。记得第一次穿上它去跑步是个夏天的夜晚，我围着故宫跑了一圈，夜幕下的故宫人少车少，更适合专心的感受身体与鞋的亲密接触，一圈下来之后我觉得我该关注一下 adidas 的 ZX 系列了。实验室：ZX 系列最吸引你的是什么？大鼓楼：ZX 最吸引我的还是舒适性和科技感，在每一代的改动中都能感受到一次进化，甚至是脱胎换骨，就像刚才说的，第一次上脚之后我就爱上了它，之后 adidas 积极的和众多设计师合作，让 ZX 系列有更多的变化也是吸引我的地方。实验室：你喜欢在什么时候或是场合穿着 ZX 系列？大鼓楼：ZX 的系列很多，几乎在不同的场合都可以看到，去球场、逛街、跑步，甚至是去谈一些工作比较正式的场合，不同的型号和不同的颜色能让我在不同的领域穿梭自如。实验室：你是否有关注或是收藏 ZX 特别款？大鼓楼：我比较关注 ZX 500 和 700，我认为经典的型号才能玩出特别的花样。设计师来说，我比较关注仓石和 ZX 的合作系列。实验室：你对今年的 ZX 系列有什么特别的期待？大鼓楼：我比较期待今年的设计师款，但也希望能看到 ZX 可以玩出更多的东西，也许可以不是设计师或明星的合作款，还有希望颜色和材质也可以有一些新的变化，看到不一样的 ZX 是我最期待的。1989，承前启后的设计标杆&adidas ZX 75080 年代末的跑鞋设计已渐渐有了现代跑鞋的轮廓，不论是更加重视鞋子的科技运用还是潮流外观设计都成为跑者们的一致需求，同样在 1989 年诞生的 ZX 750 便肩负起承前启后的任务。它在进一步提升足部舒适度的同时也保留了前辈 ZX 700 的后半鞋身结构，但全新注入的线条感设计既使之在当时大受潮流界欢迎，更成为后来整个 ZX 系列的设计标杆。跟潮流圈伙伴聊聊他们和 ZX 的故事代悦：“它太好搭配了”她是代悦（新浪微博）。成都人，2010 年毕业于四川音乐学院，同年参加《花儿朵朵》获得全国第五名。发行过写真集《无可取代》、个人专辑《微笑曙光》等。实验室：你的第一款 ZX 是什么型号？聊聊你们的故事吧？代悦：第一款是 750。其实最初就是看到了一个很好看的配色，上脚之后也觉得很舒服，后来才知道那款是 ZX 750，就记下来了。我本身就更喜欢穿波鞋啊跑鞋啊，穿起来很自在，所以也特别乐意去尝试，后来就也会关注整个系列了。实验室：那你觉得&ZX 系列最吸引你的是什么？代悦：穿着舒适并且不用担心怎么搭配，因为它太好搭配了。实验室：你平时喜欢在什么时候或是场合穿着 ZX 系列？代悦：好像每个场合都行，因为舒服又省心嘛，日常赶路啊演出啊我都可能会穿。实验室：你对今年的 ZX 系列有什么特别的期待吗？代悦：最近已经看到一些 ZX 今年的新款，有很多都很喜欢，我会期待 ZX 能有更多材料的尝试和颜色的搭配，如果有更多跨界合作的特别款应该也会很不错。1989，奠定未來跑鞋根基与轮廓的 adidas ZX 80001988 年汉城奥运会后，ZX 系列便诞生了千位数字编码，这是值得纪念的事情。而随后的&1989 年，还是那个 ZX 诞生的 Scheinfeld 工厂，adidas 带来了震撼跑界的 Torsion System 科技，以足弓下拱型 TPU 支撑片提供给跑鞋后脚跟与前脚独立自由律动，为跑者带来更好的稳定、控制及保护性能。ZX 8000 作为第一款采用该技术并结合生物力学的跑鞋，从此奠定了未来跑鞋的根基与轮廓，也将从 ZX 500 诞生之日就掀起兼具科技及造型审美理念带入一个全新阶段。▲2012 年 adidas 与东京潮店 mita 打造的联名款 ZX 8000。▲2013 年末在台湾举办的 adidas RUNNIING LAB 活动展示了足弓下拱型 TPU 支撑片。从设计到成品，ZX 缔造者以 ZX 8000 为蓝本演示制作过程2008 年，adidas 曾在全球限量推出 66 双以 ZX 8000 为蓝本打造的 adidas&aZX Jacques&Chassaing&Markus&Thale，用来致敬两位经典系列的缔造者，而这两位大师人物也借此机会向大家展示了一双 ZX 跑鞋从设计到制作的部分过程，来看看吧。引领 90 年代潮流风尚，成就 adidas Originals 经典系列随着进入 90 年代人们对时尚造型关注度的提升，越来越多的材质尝试与设计元素也被热衷于突破的 adidas 设计师们赋予 ZX 系列，先后带来了多款融入反光材料的，具有纪念意义配色设计的，以漆皮、迷彩、编织、麂皮、撞色等元素打造的全新跑鞋，并最终融汇出它独有的设计语言，在时尚潮人领域引发强烈共鸣与搭配风潮。由此，adidas ZX 系列完成了它从专业运动到潮流风尚的转换，也或者说，其实这一系列仍旧保留着它的科技底蕴，同时更以大胆的造型与色彩设计在诠释当代潮流艺术的路上找到新的方向，毕竟潮流造型早在第一款 ZX 500 诞生之日起就已融入其血脉。而当我们追述起这场从 80 年代席卷至今的跑步风潮，在无法忽略 ZX 系列里程碑式的意义时，也就更容易理解它为那个时代乃至今天的街头潮流所带来的贡献了。推荐店铺北京 北京三里屯阿迪达斯全球品牌中心（北京市三里屯路 19 号三里屯 Village 南区）上海 阿迪达斯上海魔方品牌中心（上海市淮海中路 691 号）成都 成都金开劲浪运动城 2F 三叶草店（成都市春熙路西段 16 号）西安 滔搏投资西安兴正元民生商场三叶草专柜店（西安市碑林区东大街骡马市民生百货兴正元三叶草店）昆明 滔搏投资昆明东风路三叶草店（昆明市盘龙区东风东路顺城购物中心）武汉 滔搏投资湖北百丽武汉广场三叶草店店（武汉市解放大道 688 号武汉广场 2 层）
