Overdrive is an arcade-style motor racing game which was written by Peter Johnson for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro and released in 1984 by Superior Software.
Summary
The game was probably inspired by the hugely successful Namco/Atariarcade gamePole Position which was one of the most popular arcade games when Overdrive was being developed. Like Pole Position, Overdrive uses the "rear-view racer format" but there are no bends in the track. The aim of the game is to finish in the top 12 in order to qualify for the next track. There are five different tracks but as there are no bends, the only difference is the change in scenery (fields, night, snow, desert and riverside scenes) as well as a change in the grip.
Points are awarded for the distance travelled as well as a bonus given at the end of each level depending on the number of computer controlled cars that have been passed. If the player collides with another car, they explode and regenerate. This can happen an infinite number of times but it wastes time and many opponents will pass while the player slowly accelerates. It is also common for opponents to crash into the back of the player while they are still accelerating causing another explosion.
A freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work. "Independent contractor" would be the term used in a higher register of English that designates the tax and employment class of this type of worker, the term freelancing is most common in culture and creative industries and this term specifically motions to participation therein.
There is typically one particularly privileged henchman who poses a formidable physical threat to Bond and must be defeated in order to reach the employer. These range from simply adept and tough fighters, such as Donald 'Red' Grant, to henchmen whose physical characteristics are seemingly superhuman, such as Jaws.
FreeLance is a 2007 low-budget independent film directed by Drew Sawyer and written by Sean Mann and Drew Sawyer.
It was filmed in Rome, Georgia and premiered at the Rome International Film Festival. Later that year, it showed at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival.
Plot
Elliot Guilespie (Bob Kunkel) is a smalltown twentysomething with aspirations of stardom in television news as his alter-ego, Lance Windchaser. He idolises the local TV news anchor,
Rod Reel (Tim Hensely), who is intermittently shown reporting on the spree of a local serial killer known as the Rubik's Cube Killer, or "RCK".
Elliot's home life is less than ideal; he still lives with his mother and never knew his father, who was killed in a "freak hospital accident". Compounding Elliot's frustrating
life is Roy-Henry Ringold (Sean Mann), who terrorized Elliot in high school, but is now a recovering alcoholic and desperately seeks his forgiveness. Roy-Henry's quest for forgiveness is conflicted with the fact that he is sleeping with Elliot's mother and feels compelled to act as a father figure to the aimless Elliot. As if that weren't enough, Elliot works for Roy-Henry's landscaping company.
M46: Freelancers and full-times are like oil and water, don't mix them, they are not friends
When your objective is to put programmers together in one office and make them look like hard working slaves, spending the money of your investors, you definitely need full-timers, with good salaries and benefits. However, if you need to achieve results, and you know how to manage programmers, you need freelancers, who work for results, for money, and for themselves. You don't mix those two categories, they are absolutely different. And you don't apply the same selection criteria to those two groups.
