![]() Resogun draws heavy inspiration from the games Defender and Datastorm, and acts as the spiritual successor to Housemarque's most recent Super Stardust games ( Super Stardust HD and Super Stardust Delta), from which it directly borrows certain gameplay mechanics like the boost power-up. Resogun was developed by Housemarque, an independent game development studio from Finland known for its previous shoot 'em up games, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Building all levels and enemies out of voxels turned out to be really expensive in terms of computational power, especially when you consider that there are no “fake physics” in Resogun. As we proceeded, it became more and more clear that to fully express what we had in mind we would need a lot of raw power. While in the prototype stage, we were running some code on PC and targeting different Sony platforms. The “Gun” was more about attitude, as we knew it was a game about blowing stuff up.Resogun started as platform agnostic. Those games had such an impact on everybody’s imagination because of their bitmap graphics, and since voxels are 3D pixels, we crafted the “Reso” prefix thinking about “resolution”. It’s great for showing off your new system and acclimating to a new controller, but a dearth of content prevents Resogun from earning much praise beyond being a solid, fun launch title.One became Resogun (interestingly enough, that has been the name for the project since the start), one became the iOS project we are currently working on (with rather drastic changes, as voxels are not the main thing anymore), and one didn’t make it out of the prototype stage.The name “Resogun” was chosen because we wanted to make a game that would bring to mind the 2D shooters of yesteryear. The leaderboards are organized by level, but comparing those results doesn’t inspire the same spirit of competition as sharing a single high score. Five short levels and three distinct ships make up Resogun’s offering, so getting through the game and seeing the credits can be done in one relaxed sitting. Resogun doesn’t define the future of next-gen graphics, but the particle effects and voxel explosions that fill the screen without slowing anything down are impressive. Adding an extra set of guns also helps, but it does little to add additional tactical layers beyond “let’s shoot everything and make sure we don’t die.” It’s fun to have a friend around to play catch with humans before dropping them off in the safe zones, and to help collect power-ups for you. Partnering up with a friend online is quick and easy thanks to the PlayStation 4’s improved online party system. Activating your temporary high-speed invincible boost to snap up wandering humans before they are killed, and chucking them to safety are some of the most intense and enjoyable moments. Defeating certain enemies causes humans to fall from their safety cells and begin aimlessly exploring the cylinder. Your main goal is to stay alive and defeat the boss at the end of each level, but a secondary goal to save humans adds additional worthwhile challenge. Resogun is not an easy game, but if you find the challenge too much, you can drop the difficulty at any time. When levels fill up with too many enemies – which they will – the ability to assess danger makes everything feel much more manageable. This setup that helps tremendously with assessing danger, since you can see enemies before they become threats. The playing field is wrapped around a transparent cylinder, instead of a flat playing field. Your shooting is limited to just the left and right, so your attention is focused in fewer directions. Resogun’s base gameplay takes the premise of twin-stick shooter – stay in one area and blast enemies from all directions – and simplifies into a more accessible game. Geometry Wars admirably served this role when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, and while Resogun does provide some quick thrills it won’t keep players coming back. Resogun attempts to deliver a small game that invites repeated playthroughs and inspires competition while you are waiting for the heavy hitters. One problem that goes along with the launch of a new console is that the biggest games are sometimes months or years away.

By comparing the ROIC of different companies, it is possible to identify those that generate the highest return on invested capital. ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) is a measure of return on invested capital, either in terms of benchmarking the economic performance of several companies or in terms of value creation by a company. Greenblatt uses EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) as opposed to net income because it puts companies with different debt levels and tax rates on an equal footing when comparing their returns. So the higher the multiple, the better for the investor. EBIT/EV and ROIC.ĮBIT/EV is supposed to be a measure of return on earnings. The final goal is to find undervalued stocks with high returns on the capital they invest.īut first, let's go back to the two ratios mentioned above. Options at different expiration dates have different symbols, so they are considered substantially identical.Now we've piqued your curiosity, let's see how this academic managed to generate a net return of 30% per year via his hedge fund Gotham Capital from 1985 to 1994.Īs mentioned in the introduction, this incredible performance is supposed to come from a formula made up of two ratios, allowing companies to be selected according to profitability and return criteria. ![]() Brokers won’t report a wash sale loss between a stock and an option, but taxpayers must do so. Yes, IRS cost-basis reporting rules phased-in options purchased on or after Jan. If you trade stocks and stock options, or just stock options and/or have multiple brokerage accounts, you can’t rely on brokerage firm Form 1099-Bs for reporting wash sale losses correctly because there will be differences in application of taxpayer rules on substantially identical positions.Īre options subject to cost-basis reporting and wash sale loss adjustments? Only if you have one brokerage account trading equities. Update: I just saw this on (quite reputable amongst day traders)Ĭan I rely on my 1099-B for reporting wash sale loss adjustments? If a put is exercised without prior ownership of the underlying stock, similar tax rules to a short sale are applied, with the total time period ranging from exercise date to closing/ covering the position. The position's elapsed time begins from when the shares were originally purchased to when the put was exercised (shares were sold). If a put is exercised and the buyer owned substantially identical securities, the put's premiums and commissions are added to the cost basis of the shares/ subtracted from the selling price upon exercise. If selling out of the money puts, normally they would have no wash sales but the closer to being in the money, the more likely the IRS will trigger wash sale rules. In a put sale, the government will declare a wash sale when the put position is substantially identical to the stock – that is, when there is a high likelihood that the put will be exercised. The loss is then not deductible and instead increases the basis in the acquired assets. A wash sale occurs when an investor sells an asset at a loss and, within 30 days, acquires "substantially identical" property. Seems all your trades are ST.ĭo note the IRS also considers substantially identical in considering wash sales rules so it does not have to be the exact same stock. The IRS allows you to not report every trade, you can choose various as purchase date and as long as you report them as ST LT buckets and correct proceeds, you will have met IRS needs. Since all your positions were closed by October, you won't bottom line have wash sales to worry about as even adjusting cost basis of new shares, it won't matter as you closed all positions and did not buy any other assets or short within 31 days. ![]() My wash sales for options all began September and fully closed before October (did not buy stocks with same ticker in that year).

After she’d followed me outside, she closed it with the quietest click, locked it, and hurried past me, down the stone path that cut through the backyard.Ī flashlight flickered through the scary darkness, and I froze, backing up. Before I could speak, she pulled the door open and pushed me through it. Her chest heaved as she took a deep, steadying breath before she released me. She stilled, turning to me slightly, then I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. I tiptoed my way to her and grabbed her hand. The light over the cooker was on, and from where I was standing, I could see the back door wasn’t fully shut. She was shaking as she heaved the gym sack onto her shoulder and walked through the mansion to the kitchen. I swung it onto my shoulders and wrapped my arms around my waist. Wordlessly, she handed me a black backpack. I had the most terrifying feeling that was what was going to happen tonight. All fake, all forged, all necessary if you needed to… disappear. It was the thing that held everything you’d need for a life on the road as another person, from wigs to hair dye to passports and birth certificates. When you were at both the heart and the top of the mafia, the escape bag was a part of your life. The black bag I’d found myself familiar with was waiting by the front door. The way we moved from side to side to middle made me wonder how many times she’d practiced this. We went down the stairs, our backs pressed to the wall, without any more creaks. It seemed as though hours had passed before she moved again. Once again, she pressed her finger to her mouth. The door was open, illuminating the hallway and the stairs. Mamma turned, her lips drawn together in the moonlight streaming through the bathroom window. I was afraid to breathe as she gripped my fingers so tightly I thought they’d fall off. Her movement was the request, the hard glint in her eyes the demand. My pajamas lay discarded on my floor as Mamma grabbed my hand and held one manicured fingertip to her lips. Mamma held a gun to her head, you did, too. My respect for her had always been unquestionable. Mamma would never ask me to do something like this without a good reason. My feet hit my cold wooden floor with barely a sound, and I changed without a word. “Get up.” She stood from where she was crouched at the side of my bed and reached behind her. Our eyes met through the pitch black room. I need to do what I say, exactly how I say, exactly when I say it, without asking me anything. “I don’t have the time to explain right now. Mamma took a deep breath and pushed a loose bit of hair from her forehead behind her ear. “What’s going on?” I whispered back scratchily. “Adriana, I’m not joking.” Her voice was a whisper, but the urgency in it made me roll over and find her gaze in the darkness. ![]() She grabbed my covers and whipped them off me.
