Apocalypse Now: The Video Game On Kickstarter

Sunday, January 29th, 2017

Erebus LLC has set up a Kickstarter campaign for a video game adaption of Apocalypse Now. The dev team, which is composed of industry veterans who have developed for titles such as Fallout: New Vegas, Wasteland 2, and Far Cry will be lending their talents towards adapting Apocalypse Now into a psychological horror game with RPG elements, encouraging stealth and resource management over run-and-gun gameplay, and allowing the player to develop Captain Willard to suit their playstyle.

While it can certainly be a daunting task to try and adapt Apocalypse Now into a functioning, and more importantly enjoyable, video game, on paper, at least, it seems the dev team is taking a pretty decent attempt at adapting the property into an interactive media.

It’s true! After 15 years, the Extreme Outfitters website, tacticaledge.com also known as extremeoutfitters.us, is finally getting an update. It’s been a long and painful process, but in January 2017 we will launch our new website. It will be mobile responsive (imagine that!) and it is our hope that you will find it very user friendly.

For those of you who have stuck with us over the years, we truly appreciate your loyalty; to those of you who stopped shopping with us we hope to win you back.

Patagonia Crucible Documentary

Sunday, December 11th, 2016

Self-Reliant Leadership studies the qualities of elite military units to understand the recipe for accelerated team development in all environments – from Patagonia to the boardroom.

Patagonia Crucible Documentary from Jan Rutherford on Vimeo.

In October 2016, a team of Special Operations veterans and business executives completed a 54-mile circumnavigation of Cerro Torre and Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Argentina. During the six-day expedition, the team tested audacity, adaptability, and compassion to determine if team development can be accelerated.

The team found that selflessness, positivity, and curiosity were the key ingredients to a team with an absolute commitment to achieve at an elite level. These conclusions created a “recipe” to develop your own elite teams that gel quickly, gracefully handle changing business conditions, achieve challenging goals, and perform with absolute commitment.
