especially right after they shower or take a bath. According to many doctors most men do have very oily skin, especially when you compare their skin to that of a women’s skin type. That is also why a lot of men with oily skin tend to get a lot more ingrown hairs than women ever do. It is because their pores tend to clog much more, and this then causes both the ingrown and little bumps which are known as acne.

That is also why there are now many companies who are making special products just for means skin. This products, such as the ones made by Neutrogena are made just for men who happen to have very oily skin. It helps to keep their skin clear and clean and will help to prevent additional ingrown. When washing your face or any part of the body it is important to make sure that you scrub thoroughly.

In Los Angeles and then at home this week, I’ve had a vision of the future of the games industry – and it’s not great news for the console-makers. Everything about the industry is moving online – and while the likes of XBoxLive and Sony’s PS3 online service are growing rapidly, a host of other players will be promising gamers that they can deliver a better or at least cheaper experience.

People like Dave Jones, who I met at the Los Angeles Convention Centre in a room packed with screens where his team were preparing to show off the fruits of years of work. Dave is a games industry legend, and I think I first met him in 1996, when I visited a small firm in Dundee which was then working on a new title called Grand Theft Auto.

APB, Maple Story and the future of games

In Los Angeles and then at home this week, I’ve had a vision of the future of the games industry – and it’s not great news for the console-makers. Everything about the industry is moving online – and while the likes of XBoxLive and Sony’s PS3 online service are growing rapidly, a host of other players will be promising gamers that they can deliver a better or at least cheaper experience.

People like Dave Jones, who I met at the Los Angeles Convention Centre in a room packed with screens where his team were preparing to show off the fruits of years of work. Dave is a games industry legend, and I think I first met him in 1996, when I visited a small firm in Dundee which was then working on a new title called Grand Theft Auto.

After selling the business behind GTA, Dave set up a firm called Realtime Worlds which now has offices both in Dundee and in Boulder, Colorado, and has won significant amounts of venture capital backing from Silicon Valley. For the last five years, a team of 200 has been working on a project in line with a philosophy outlined on the company’s website like this:

“As avid game players, we believe the future of video games lies in massively multiplayer on-line gaming. Constantly evolving worlds with real players and communities offer an unrivalled experience that many players have yet to enjoy.”

The result is APB – All Points Bulletin – which appears to deliver a similar experience to Grand Theft Auto, but exclusively online.

APB is stored in data centres in Europe and the United States and Dave Jones says making that run smoothly has been the biggest issue:

“There’s been a great technology challenge to make it possible to have a seamless experience. It allows thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of players to connect and play together in a dynamic world.”

When the game launches in July, players will pay £34.99 to download it with 50 hours of online play, and can then choose to pay a monthly fee or buy extra time in one-off payments.

It sounds like the model successfully pioneered by World of Warcraft, which has proved hugely profitable for its owners Activision. Realtime Worlds says it has got a twist, enabling gamers to earn extra hours by playing skilfully and by creating virtual goods that other players want.

There seems no reason why the 18-rated game should not win plenty of customers amongst the GTA and Call of Duty crowd, but younger gamers with less money to spend are also finding plenty to entertain them online.

I got home to find an 11-year-old asking me for help in spending £10 of his pocket money in an online world called Maple Story. This is a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) created in South Korea seven years ago, which has attracted millions of players around the world who battle monsters and complete quests. It has now apparently become a craze amongst British 11-year-olds, who are abandoning their Wiis to play this and other simple but compelling online games.

Maple Story is free but its makers are generating revenue through a virtual shop where players use real money to buy items for their characters. Anyone who remembers how keen they were at 11 to buy cards, stickers and all sorts of other ephemeral goodies will understand how powerful this kind of craze can be. Nexon, the Korean firm behind Maple Story and other free casual online games, earned revenues of nearly £400m last year.

So two examples of online games which are finding new ways of getting users to spend their money. But gamers do not have unlimited cash, and every pound that goes to APB or Maple Story is money that won’t be spent on games for the Wii, the Xbox 360, or the PS3

It is perhaps bad form to complain about a marvellous gift, but the oddities of web broadcasting have made the live streaming of all of the FIFA World Cup games online by CBC a frustrating venue, despite its convenience.

The opportunity to watch the game in near-real time from any connected computer is a godsend for a tournament played on the other side of the Prime Meridian, meaning they inconveniently fall during the workday. Trying to catch three games a day, much of it on-the-clock, requires an online connection and a pair of headphones for most people, unless one’s supervisor is similarly soccer-mad.

But unlike the high definition television broadcasts, which have been visually pristine with some creative camera angles (those corner cameras inside the net make for fascinating goal replays), watching the online platform robs the games of much of the coherency because the streaming video skips back and forth, sometimes at highly inopportune times.

On Tuesday it felt a little like living through the movie Groundhog Day as the painful injury — and obviously more painful treatment — to Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure kept repeating in a back-in-time loop that elicited winces each time.

As annoying as that was, yesterday, the opposite problem plagued the online broadcast during the high-octane match between favoured Spain and underdog Switzerland.

As the game progressed into the second half, the broadcast suddenly jumped forward, inexplicably showing Swiss midfielder Gelson Fernandes already tuckered out from an exuberant celebration.

It was not until the replays showed the mad scramble in front of the Spanish goal and him popping the ball past goalkeeper Iker Casillas that the gravity of the video jerk became clear: The streaming had completely skipped the lone goal of the game, one that made this match the biggest upset of the tournament thus far.

It made watching Toure writhe around on the grass over and over pale by comparison.

Luckily the streaming broadcast did not skip over the commentator’s quip: that a new Spanish Inquisition will be launched to find out what went wrong.

You may get a sense of self-satisfaction, or a high-five at most, for demonstrating great skill and prowess in a video game, but rarely will you get cash.

On Tuesday at the E3 video game conference in Los Angeles, Richard Branson launched a new company called Virgin Gaming, in which players around the world can enter into online video game tournaments to win cash prizes. This is not the first time Virgin’s been in gaming: it ran a fairly successful game publisher, Virgin Interactive, in the ’80s and ’90s until Branson broke it up and sold it off in 1999.

Virgin Gaming tackles a decidedly different side of video games, tournaments instead of publishing. The company will be handing out $1 million in cash prizes over the next year through sponsored tournaments. But players (18 years and above) can also set up their own matches with wagers.

“We wanted to be the everyman’s destination for game tournaments,” said Zack Zeldin, co-founder of Virgin Gaming. In professional gaming tournaments like Major League Gaming, only highly skilled players stand a chance of winning. But in Virgin Gaming, players are matched with other players of like skill levels in online tournaments.

A basic Virgin Gaming account is free, and players can also challenge each other to competitive matches without a wager. The service is available for games on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or Sony’s PlayStation 3 (which need to be connected to their respective online networks). The games available at launch are sports titles like “Madden” and “FIFA” and other big-name, competitive multi-player games like “Halo 3″ and “ModNation Racers.”

Virgin Gaming’s business model is to take a 12% cut of each tournament’s total wager as a management fee. The company says it is in talks with potential sponsors like car companies and fast-food chains.

The brains behind the operation are co-founders Zeldin and Billy Levy, whose company, WorldGaming.com, was recently acquired by Virgin. The two entrepreneurial 26-year-olds met while studying at the University of Florida. They both enjoyed competing in game tournaments, but were tired of driving to them. Deciding to try to create a serious site dedicated to online competition, the two founded WorldGaming.com in 2007.

After developing technology to ensure fair play, the company started a beta service last August, which eventually gained around 30,000 members. The fair play system is used in Virgin Gaming now as well. Users are matched to other players of equal skill levels, derived from one’s tournament history. This system was based on a similar ranking system developed for Xbox Live at Microsoft Research. A reputation system, modeled after eBay’s, also alerts users to each other’s level of sportsmanship. Players rate each other after matches with a thumbs up or down, and comments.

Besides winning cash prizes through tournaments, players can also earn Virgin Gaming Points by playing games and taking part in site ‘activities’ like registering or uploading an avatar. These points won’t earn you cash, but can be redeemed for goods at an online store, like Virgin-branded products.

Commenting on possibilities, Zeldin said, “Imagine a ‘Halo: Reach’ tournament where the prize is an outer space trip on Virgin Galactic.”
