Geniohyoid muscle

The geniohyoid muscle is a narrow paired muscle situated superior to the medial border of the mylohyoid muscle. It is named for its passage from the chin ("genio-" is a standard prefix for "chin") to the hyoid bone.

Structure
The geniohyoid is a paired short muscle that arises from the inferior mental spine, on the back of the mandibular symphysis, and runs backward and slightly downward, to be inserted into the anterior surface of the body of the hyoid bone. It lies in contact with its fellow of the opposite side. It thus belongs to the suprahyoid muscles. The muscle receives its blood supply from branches of the lingual artery.

Innervation
The geniohyoid muscle is innervated by fibres from the first cervical spinal nerve travelling alongside the hypoglossal nerve. Although the first three cervical nerves give rise to the ansa cervicalis, the geniohyoid muscle is said to be innervated by the first cervical nerve, as some of its efferent fibers do not contribute to ansa cervicalis.

Variations
It may be blended with the one on opposite side or double; slips to greater cornu of hyoid bone and genioglossus occur.

Function
The geniohyoid muscle brings the hyoid bone forward and upwards. This dilates the upper airway, assisting respiration. During the first act of deglutition, when the mass of food is being driven from the mouth into the pharynx, the hyoid bone, and with it the tongue, is carried upward and forward by the anterior bellies of the Digastrici, the Mylohyoidei, and Geniohyoidei. It also assists in depressing the mandible.

History
The inclined position of the geniohyoid muscle has been contrasted to the horizontal position in neanderthals.

Mylohyoid muscle

The mylohyoid muscle or diaphragma oris is a paired muscle of the neck. It runs from the mandible to the hyoid bone, forming the floor of the oral cavity of the mouth. It is named after its two attachments near the molar teeth. It forms the floor of the submental triangle. It elevates the hyoid bone and the tongue, important during swallowing and speaking.

Structure
The mylohyoid muscle is flat and triangular, and is situated immediately superior to the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. It is a pharyngeal muscle (derived from the first pharyngeal arch) and classified as one of the suprahyoid muscles. Together, the paired mylohyoid muscles form a muscular floor for the oral cavity of the mouth.

The two mylohyoid muscles arise from the mandible at the mylohyoid line, which extends from the mandibular symphysis in front to the last molar tooth behind. The posterior fibers pass inferomedially and insert at anterior surface of the hyoid bone. The medial fibres of the two mylohyoid muscles unite in a midline raphe (where the two muscles intermesh).

The mylohyoid muscle separates the sublingual space from the submandibular space, which communicate via a lateral gap between the mylohyoid and hyoglossus muscles at the posterior free margin of mylohyoid muscle. The submandibular gland wraps around the edges of the mylohyoid, and is divided into superficial and deep lobes above and below the muscle.

Nerve supply
The mylohyoid muscle is supplied by a branch of the mandibular nerve, the inferior alveolar nerve. The mylohyoid nerve is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. The mylohyoid nerve emerges to give motor supply to the mylohyoid muscle.

Development
The mylohyoid muscles are derived from embryonic mesoderm, specifically the first pharyngeal arch.

Variations
The mylohyoid muscle may be united to or replaced by the anterior belly of the digastric muscle; accessory slips to other hyoid muscles are frequent. This median raphe is sometimes absent; the fibers of the two muscles are then continuous. Variations in the mylohyoid muscle itself are not common. Accessory mylohyoid muscles have been seen in some people, which have the same attachments, nerve supply, and function. The mylohyoid muscle may also be split into an anterior portion and a posterior portion, with the sublingual gland occupying the space between these portions.

An area of herniation of the sublingual gland, blood vessels, or fat, may be present, with studies reporting this in 10-50% of people.

Function
The mylohyoid muscle elevates the hyoid bone and the tongue. This is particularly important during swallowing and speaking. Alternatively, if other muscles are used to keep the position of the hyoid bone fixed, then the mylohyoid muscle depresses the mandible. It also functions as reinforcing the floor of mouth.

Clinical significance
The mylohyoid muscle may be imaged by CT or MRI. The mylohyoid separates the submandibular space below from the sublingual space above. Around the posterior border of the mylohoid muscle, these spaces communicate. Infections, especially odontogenic infections can spread from one space to the other via this communication, or alternatively penetrate the mylohyoid muscle, which is a poor barrier to the spread of infection. Because the attachment of the mylohyoid muscle (the mylohoid line of the mandible) becomes more superior towards the posterior of the mandible, posterior infected teeth are more likely to drain into the submandibular space, and infected anterior teeth are more likely to drain into the sublingual space, since the apices of the teeth are more likely to be below and above the mylohoid line respectively (see diagram).

History
The mylohyoid muscle may also be known as the diaphragma oris muscle. It is named after its two attachments near the molar teeth ("mylo" comes from the Greek word for "molar").

Stylohyoid muscle

The stylohyoid muscle is one of the suprahyoid muscles. Its originates from the styloid process of the temporal bone; it inserts onto hyoid bone. It is innervated by a branch of the facial nerve. It acts draw the hyoid bone upwards and backwards.

Structure
The stylohyoid is a slender muscle. It is directed inferoanteriorly from its origin towards its insertion.

It is perforated near its insertion by the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle.

Origin
The muscle arises from the posterior surface of the temporal styloid process; it arises near the base of the process. It arises by a small tendon of origin.

Insertion
The muscle inserts onto the body of hyoid bone at the junction of the body and greater cornu.

The site of insertion is situated immediately superior to that of the superior belly of omohyoid muscle.

Vasculature
The stylohyoid muscle receives arterial supply branches of the facial artery, posterior auricular artery, and occipital artery.

Innervation
The stylohyoid muscle receives motor innervation from the stylohyoid branch of facial nerve (CN VII).

Relations
The muscle is situated anterosuperior to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle.

Variation
It may be absent or doubled. It may be situated medial to the carotid artery. It may insert suprahyoid muscles of infrahyoid muscles.

Actions/movements
The stylohyoid muscle elevates and retracts the hyoid bone (i.e. draws it superiorly and posteriorly).

Function
The stylohyoid muscle elongates the floor of the mouth. It initiates a swallowing.

USS Nicholas (DD-311)

USS Nicholas (DD-311) was a Clemson-class destroyer in the United States Navy following World War I. She was the first Navy ship named for Samuel Nicholas (1744–1790), the first Commandant of the United States Marine Corps.

History
Nicholas was laid down 11 January 1919 by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, San Francisco, California; launched 1 May 1919; sponsored by Miss Edith Barry; and commissioned at Mare Island Navy Yard 23 November 1920.

Assigned to Reserve Destroyer Divisions, Pacific Fleet, Nicholas departed Mare Island on 17 December 1920 for San Diego, California, arriving on the 20th and remaining principally in that area with a reduced complement through 1922. The destroyer sailed on 6 February 1923 as part of Destroyer Squadron 11 for combined fleet operations in the Panama Canal Zone. Arriving Balboa twenty days later following exercises en route, the warship engaged in tactical and strategic maneuvers through the end of March and returned to San Diego on 11 April. From 25 June to 31 August, Nicholas and DesRon 11 cruised the coast of Washington, putting in at Tacoma, Port Angeles, and Seattle and serving as escort to President Warren G. Harding in Henderson on his arrival at Seattle on 27 July. She then participated in squadron maneuvers through the end of August with Battleship Division 3, putting in at San Francisco on the 31st.

Nicholas sailed for her homeport at 08:30, 8 September, in company with most of DesRon 11 under Captain Edward H. Watson, with Delphy leading the way. Engaged in a high-speed engineering run down the Pacific Coast, the squadron changed course at 21:00 as inaccurate navigation indicated this was the approach to Santa Barbara Channel. At 21:05, Delphy stranded on the rocks of Point Pedernales, known to sailors as Honda, or the Devil's Jaw; though warning signals were sent up by the flagship, the sheltering configuration of the coast line prevented their recognition by the remaining ships of DesRon 11 and in the ensuing confusion, six other destroyers — including Nicholas — ran aground also. Nicholas’ skipper, Lt. Cmdr. Herbert Roesch, did his utmost to prevent the loss of the destroyer as the heavy seas broke over her and Honda’s rocks pushed into her hull, but the ship was taken by currents and drifted slowly astern, coming to a stop stern-high on a clump of rocks with a 25° list to starboard.

Throughout the night, the crew attempted to save Nicholas but in the morning as the waves mounted and Nicholas’ situation became critical, the Captain ordered “Abandon Ship”. The order was accomplished and brought the entire crew ashore safely. Of the seven destroyers' crews, only 23 people died. Considered out of commission on 26 October 1923, Nicholas was struck from the Navy List with her six squadron mates on 20 November. After a number of abortive bids, the destroyer was finally sold on 19 October 1925 to Robert J. Smith of Oakland, California. Though some equipment was salvaged from the wrecked ship, her hull was left to the mercy of the sea in the “graveyard of the Pacific.” The event came to be known as the Honda Point Disaster.

Gnaviyani Atoll

Gnaviyani Atoll (Pronounced: Nyaviyani) is one of the administrative divisions of the Maldives corresponding to the natural atoll, Fuvahmulah. Surfacewise this is the smallest administrative unit in the Maldives, situated on the Equatorial Channel (Addu - Mulah Kandu) between Huvadhu Atoll and Addu Atoll.

Geography
The atoll of Fuvahmulah corresponding to this administrative division is the 25th natural atoll of the Maldives. Some people due to lack of knowledge or as part of a prevailing misconception erroneously mention that Fuvahmulah is not an atoll. An island of coral that encircles a lagoon partially or completely is what we call an atoll. In the distant past Fuvahmulah was a small coral atoll whose southern end was open at a spot called Diyarehifaando and the inside of the island was a saltwater lagoon forming a natural harbour. There is a spot in the southern end known as a Kudhuheraivali (the forest of the small islet), which indicates that there was a separate little island in that area in ancient times. But long ago the channel connecting the lagoon with the ocean was closed by massive coral boulders. Thus the inside of the island is lower than its edges. In time the inner lagoon lost its saltiness and all that remains today are two small lakes(Kulhi), wetlands and marshy taro fields. Therefore, Fuvahmulah is a small Atoll that closed and filled in with silt, like Nukutavake in the Central Pacific.

Municipal Divisions
Fuvahmulah was traditionally divided into nine wards. From North to South these wards were: (1) Dhadimago, (2) Diguvāndo (both stretching from East to West shore), (3) Hōdhado, (5) Dhashokubaa (both segmental) separated by, (4) Mādhado (A diagonal strip of parallel width); whilst the other four divisions, which occupied the Southern part of the island consisted of two Eastern and Western strips, bisected into four wards, (6) Mālegan and (8) Dūndigan lying to East, (7) Miskimmago and (9) Funādo to West.

The largest division among all is Dhadimago. With time, some changes saw its way into existence. Nowadays, the number of wards has been reduced to eight, since the village of Dhashokubaa was merged with Miskimmago. Moreover, extension of some wards with time, brought its way into certain changes in area such as that of Hōdhado. The northerly extension of the ward by time led to the land from Eastern strip of Diguvāndo and some parts of that of Dhadimago being claimed to the village. It was mainly the land consisting of agricultural fields and plantations to vegetation owned by the villagers of Dhadimago and Diguvāndo.

Administratively these divisions act as the replacement for islands in other atolls. For each ward a chief ('Katheeb') was appointed as in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the respective ward and held accountable for an Island chief. With the introduction of local government policy in the Maldives, an Island Council is to be elected for each ward of the island according to the Decentralisation act 2010. Also, an Atoll Council is to be elected for the atoll as a whole.

NOTE: ''Haa Alifu, Haa Dhaalu, Shaviyani, Noonu, Raa, Baa, Kaafu, etc.. (including Gnaviyani) are code letters assigned to the present administrative divisions of the Maldives. They are not the proper names of the natural atolls that make up these divisions. Some atolls are divided into two administrative divisions or contain half of an atoll (In case of Thiladhunmathi to Haa Alif, Haa Dhaal, Shaviyani and Noonu Atolls, Huvadhu Atoll to Gaafu Alifu and Gaafu Dhaalu Atolls and In case of half of Ari Atoll to Alifu Dhaalu Atoll), while other divisions are made up of two or more natural atolls (In case of Raa, Baa, Kaafu, Alifu Alifu and Vaavu Atolls). Some administrative divisions correspond to the same natural atoll too (In case of Lhaviyani, Meemu, Faafu, Dhaalu, Thaa, Laamu, Gnaviyani and Seenu Atolls). The order followed by the code letters are from North to South, beginning with the first letters of the Thaana alphabet used in Dhivehi. These code letters may not be accurate from the geographical and cultural point of view. However, they have become popular among tourists and foreigners in the Maldives who find them easier to pronounce than the true atoll names in Dhivehi, (save a few exceptions, like Ari Atoll).''

Aware of the extent of this problem, Maldivian expert Mr. Ibrahim Luthfee wrote a book on Maldivian geography before he died. With this book, which is unfortunately available only in Dhivehi, the late Mr. Luthfee tried to clear a number of misconceptions that carelessly researched tourist publications have generalized even among Maldivians. Much of this article has been translated and adapted from his posthumous work.

Larry Hryb

Lawrence Hryb, also known as Major Nelson, is an American executive who is the director of community of Unity Technologies. Hryb served as the director of programming for Xbox Live from 2005 until 2023. His blog "Xbox Live's Major Nelson" provides an inside look at operations at Microsoft's Xbox division. Prior to joining Microsoft in 2001, he was a former programmer and on air host with radio broadcaster Clear Channel Communications.

Education
Hryb graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Television, Radio and Film production from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Xbox
Hryb worked as the Director of Promotions for Clear Channel Communications in Hartford, Connecticut for WKSS from 1989 to late 2000. In early 2001, he began working with Microsoft; his first role at the company was as the editor in chief of MSN music. Hryb moved into Xbox division of Microsoft in 2003. Hryb was instrumental in the development of the Xbox One, Xbox 360, Xbox LIVE, Kinect and the 'New Xbox Experience'.

Hryb picked the Gamertag "Major Nelson" after a character by the same name on the 1960s U.S. television comedy I Dream of Jeannie after it was recommended to him by his TiVo. Hryb dedicated his Gamertag to Larry Hagman (the actor who played Major Nelson) after his death in 2012.

Hryb has advised dozens of gaming and non-gaming companies and communities on how to best engage with their audiences using digital tools and social networks. In 2012, he was named one of Mashable's '13 Bona Fide Geeks to Follow'. Hryb performs product reviews and mentions through his various social media outlets - Twitter, his podcast, Google Plus page, YouTube profile, and his personal blog - for lifestyle-related products and services.

In July 2023, Hryb announced he had decided to "take a step back and work on the next chapter of my career." He thanked fans and colleagues and said the Official Xbox Podcast would return with a new format after its summer hiatus.

Major Nelson Radio podcast
Hryb is most known for his popular weekly podcast "Major Nelson Radio", available on iTunes, Xbox Music Marketplace, and from his site. He does interviews as well. Direct from inside the Microsoft Xbox team, Hryb and his colleagues including regular co-hosts Laura Massey ("lollip0p"), and Eric Neustadter ("e") discuss Xbox One, Xbox 360, Kinect, Zune, gaming, technology, other next generation consoles (including the PlayStation 4, and Wii U), among other subjects. His show regularly hosts interviews with people in the gaming community, and offers prizes to listeners through his "Name the Game" contest, where he plays a short audio clip from a game, and a winner is drawn from the correct entries. Additionally, regular features of the podcast include "Xbox 101", a segment devoted to various features on the Xbox One or Xbox Live, Gadget discussion where they discuss the latest and greatest gadget. Many companies have contacted Larry to review or cover their products to reach this audience, but Larry has declined stating that he only wants to talk about products he actually uses and are of high quality and value. Recently, as convergence takes place with the auto industry, they have also started looking at vehicles that use technology in a new and exciting ways.

Originally, Hryb produced the podcast by himself. The podcast used to consist of him giving a monologue and breaking to play prerecorded interviews. On November 6, 2006, he celebrated his '200th' podcast, which was marked with a nearly two and a half hour show. Hryb openly admits that he added to the show number and the figure doesn't accurately reflect the number of shows made. Hryb switched to a #1xx numbering around July 18, 2005, when he did show #136 after the previous '7/10/05 Blogcast'. Major Nelson was interviewed on the Video Game Outsiders Podcast (show #50), where he commented "About a year and a half ago, I started numbering my shows at 100...it makes it sound cooler, bigger numbers are always better."

Unity
In June 2024, Hryb announced he would lead Unity Technologies's community department.

Personal life
Hryb is married to Taylor Johnson, the author of The Happy Girl blog and lives in the state of Washington. During Show 478 of the Major Nelson podcast he expressed interest in classical music, noting that he nearly minored in it during his college studies. In 2006, Next Generation Magazine named Hryb one of the "Top 25 People of the Year" in video gaming. Also, in 2009 he was featured on Wired.com's "100 Geeks You Should Be Following On Twitter". Hryb has worked with multiple Fortune 500 companies, advising them on how to use social media to better connect with the community. He revealed that his guilty pleasure is KFC mashed potatoes.

Talk:Jason Molina

Untitled
Pretty well done. I plan to add some more later.

Interestingly enough, I had the pleasure in recording Jason when he was in High School. Jason was in a funky little band called the "Spineriders" I did a quick live recording in my first studio located in my parents basement.

The name
I was under the impression that there was some debate over the reasoning behind the "ohia" part of the name, with some claims that it's the phonetic spelling of Jason's home state in the local accent, amongst others. Dancarney 20:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

- Yes. I added this part to the bio. Jason has mentioned in an interview that the state gave the impetus to naming the band, but that he later learned of the Hawaiian flower and more or less redesignated the band name. He also admitted that he still uses both pronounciations. I'll see if I can provide the source. trialsanderrors 08:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Location
I know Jason grew up in the Cleveland area, but did he reside there while working as Songs: Ohia? More likely choices seem to be Chicago and Bloomington. trialsanderrors 08:33, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Article name
I wonder if this article would be a bit more coherent if it were titled "Jason Molina", with "Songs: Ohia" and "Magnolia Electric Co." redirecting to it? Dancarney 12:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the "Songs: Ohia stands for all of Jason Molina's projects" line is a bit outdated. ~ trialsanderrors 01:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Living in England
At a show on October 4, 2007 at Zaphod Beeblebrox (nightclub), Molina told the crowd he now lives in England. I don't have a source to back that up, just thought I would through it out there. --Padraic 14:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Death
Just saw that he passed away the 16th. Will there be a "Death" section? --Matt723star (talk) 22:34, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I added it. I hope that's alright. --Matt723star (talk) 22:40, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Musical Style & Instrumentation
Somewhere in the text, it is mentioned that he no longer used "the tenor guitar" for a certain record. Maybe someone could write a bit about the musical style and the instrumentation at the time when he did use this unusual equipment?

Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page

 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Image:Gunnesax.jpg
Hello. What is the copyright on the image you loaded? Images should be tagged - i.e. should indicate their copyright and licence. If the image is not yours, would you please let me know where it came from. Thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)
 * Thank you for uploading this image to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, it appears to be a copyrighted image taken from http://www.vintagegrace.com/shopping/dresses/gunne/5_lrg.jpg and may have to be deleted.  If you believe that this image qualifies as  fair use, you are encouraged to provide justification and  tag the image appropriately.  Thanks.  --Alan Au 05:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I've provided an in-depth fair use rationale on the image's description page. I'm just getting started here on Wikipedia, so I may blunder now and then. Thanks for letting me know about this, guys.   --Anne M. Daniels
 * Your addition of rationale comments on the image page is appreciated, but I'm not entirely sure that they're sufficient to establish fair use. Are you able to take a photo yourself and release it under a GDFL license?  Alternately, if you can find a similar public-domain image (and tag it appropriately), that would be another good solution.  Sorry to be so picky about it, but Wikipedia is pretty strict about adhering to copyright policy. :( --Alan Au 12:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello, I just ran across this link from my website www.vintagegrace.com. I am the owner of the photo of the Gunne Sax that was being used here. I have abolutely no objections to the image being used. The only reason it disappeared is because I re-designed my website and the image files were moved. I'm not sure which Gunne Sax of mine you were originally using but here is another one. Feel free to use it! I've uploaded it to my other website, 70s fashion fiascos. You can find it here. http://www.70sfashionfiascos.com/gunne%20for%20wiki/70s_tangunne_front_3.jpg All the best ~ Maureen Valdes Marsh

Talk:Arlington Heights, Illinois

Untitled
I'm the WikiProject Cities assessor of this article; if you would like some commentary, give me a holler! --Starstriker7(Say hior see my works) 22:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge from Arlington Heights Memorial Library (AHML)
Please merge any relevant content from [ Arlington Heights Memorial Library (AHML)] per Articles for deletion/Arlington Heights Memorial Library (AHML). (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-18 08:16Z

Main paragraph
The main paragraph should be a brief description about Arlington Heights. It is way too cluttered right now with random irrelevant information. The part about Supreme Court case should be in a separate section. I'm going to create that now and I'm also going to make the first paragraph easier to read. - [User:LukeAtmiaz|LukeAtmiaz]] 30 April 2007

Background
"1.1 Religious background" section says, "The first churches were satanist (1855) Presbyterian (1856) and Methodist (1858), with a German Lutheran church following in 1860." Satanism is unlikely to have been in Arlington Heights in the 1850s. It's also uncited. That's all. Someone who knows what to do should see it. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.192.144 (talk) 08:39, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Perlo group

...
On 27 April 1944 Elizabeth Bentley reported Kramer, PErlo, Flato, Glasser, Fitzgerald and others in a group of seven or eight CPUSA members.

Bentely tanlked about John Abt and Victor Perlo. They told her that this group was neglected and that nobody was interested in them. Kramer is the leader of the group. All occupy responsible posts in Washington, D.C.

On Browder's instructions Elizabeth Bentley contacted a new group in Washington, D.C. through John Abt

Harry Magdoff - Bentley's impressions: They are reliable members of the CPUSA, politically highly mature; they want to help with information. They said that they had been neglected and no one had taken any interest in their potentialities.

[29 groups unrecoverable]

"STORM [ShTORM]" [vii]. RAIDER [REJDER] [viii], PLUMB [LOT] [ix], TED [x], and KANT will go to TYRE [TIR] [xi] once every two weeks in turn.

PLUMB and TED know PAL [PEL] [xii]. We shall let you have identifying particulars

KGB Archives
Note on KGB Archive material: much material runs from June to October 1945, after V-E Day; it may be hard to argue members of the Perlo group were helping the USSR to fight fascism at that point. nobs 21:20, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Detective Chimp

Detective Chimp (Bobo T. Chimpanzee) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. A common chimpanzee who wears a deerstalker cap (à la Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional sleuth Sherlock Holmes), Detective Chimp has superhuman-level intelligence and solves crimes, often with the help of the Bureau of Amplified Animals, a group of intelligent animals that also includes Rex the Wonder Dog. He originally appeared in the final years of the Golden Age of Comic Books, continuing into the early years of the Silver Age.

After his initial appearance in Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog he continued to appear in that title as a backup feature until 1959, at which point he faded into obscurity. Several decades after his last appearance, Detective Chimp appeared in several cameos, namely in a 1981 story, "Whatever Happened to Rex the Wonder Dog?" (DC Comics Presents #35) and later in a brief cameo with Sam Simeon in Gorilla City during 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths. Following these appearances, Bobo started appearing in DC titles with some regularity, appearing in issues of Green Lantern, The Flash, and other titles. This eventually led to prominent roles in the 2005 Day of Vengeance miniseries and subsequently as a regular in its spin-off series Shadowpact. The character has gone on to guest-star in other DC Comics titles, and has been a key member of the second incarnation of the Justice League Dark since its 2018 reboot.

Fictional character biography
When first introduced, Detective Chimp was an ordinary, though intelligent, trained chimpanzee, who acted as a "helping mascot" for the local sheriff, after helping him to solve the murder of his chimpanzee trainer, Fred Thorpe. He could not speak, but could understand humans and make himself understood. Bobo, a smoker, is a member of Mensa, and had a long-standing partnership with four other detectives as the Croatoan Society. One of the other former members of the Society was the detective/superhero Ralph Dibny (Elongated Man).

The Chimp's origin has been revamped and elaborated on several times since his initial Silver Age appearances. 1989's Secret Origins (vol. 2) #40 credited the experimentation of a microscopic alien race with Bobo's intelligence. This origin has since been retconned, notably in the Day of Vengeance six-part limited series. In the latter, it was shown that Bobo was captured in Gorilla City in 1953 by Fred Thorpe, who sought to train him for his carnival act: "Bobo the Detective Chimp". For the act, Detective Chimp was trained to answer some detective-related questions using a combination of signals and rewards, giving the illusion that he could "discover the deepest secrets of the public". Bobo formed a strong bond with Thorpe because Thorpe took care of him, and gave him a simpler life than in the jungle. The success of the act lasted until a trip to Florida, at which time Rex the Wonder Dog, took him to the Fountain of Youth, where he gained the ability to speak to all living creatures, even humans, in their own language, as well as eternal youth. Rex's and Bobo's journey to the Fountain of Youth was originally depicted in the aforementioned DC Comics Presents #35, July 1981. The intelligence Bobo gained put a damper on the success of the sideshow act, and in at least one instance, he decided that a woman had in fact murdered her sister, and shared his insights with the local police.

At some point after this, Bobo was employed by the Bureau of Amplified Animals. It is not known how he left, or even if the Bureau still exists.

After the death of Fred Thorpe, he began to work by himself. Initially he did quite well, as a chimp detective was seen as a novelty. During this successful period he was visited by another detective, John Jones (actually the Martian Manhunter, during the JLApe crisis), who thought Bobo's agency seemed to be doing better than his own.

However, as an ape, without civil rights and being unable to stand as a juridical person, he could not enforce unpaid bills. When the public began to forget him, he became an alcoholic, never leaving the other-dimensional Oblivion Bar (which changed management twice during his time there), until the establishment was acquired by Jim Rook.

"Bobo" is not his real name, which he declines to share. Phantom Stranger revealed it to be "mostly an unpronounceable screech and three grunts", which translates as "Magnificent Finder of Tasty Grubs".

Shadowpact
When the Spectre attempts to destroy all magic and began killing wizards, Detective Chimp, while still mostly drunk, coerces a group of mystical characters gathered from the Oblivion Bar into battling the Spectre. This leads to the formation of the group Shadowpact.

Although lacking superhuman powers, Detective Chimp exhibits not only fine detective skills but also the genius of a true tactician. Benefiting from the counsel of the Phantom Stranger (at the time transformed into a mouse), he devises a plan to use the powers of Black Alice and Nightshade to confront the combined menace of Eclipso and the Spectre.

Bobo also helps clean up the demonic damage left from the Rock of Eternity's explosion over Gotham City. He captures the sin of "Sloth", which had possessed his long-time friend Rex the Wonder Dog. After the Rock is reformed, the sins re-imprisoned, and all magical influence cleaned out of Gotham, the dying Doctor Fate gives Detective Chimp his Helmet of Fate. After finding it does not fit him, Detective Chimp convinces Captain Marvel to throw it to Earth, to let fate choose its next bearer.

When the helmet of Doctor Fate returns to Earth, Detective Chimp for a brief time bonds with it, granting him additional powers that he uses to assist the Gotham City police in apprehending the villain Trickster. After struggling against the helmet's temptation, Bobo sends it on to another journey.

Later, it was shown that Bobo occasionally assists Batman in his cases by way of a chat room where they swap theories. The Riddler is also known to chat with them, but he is unaware of the other two's identities.

The New 52
In The New 52, Detective Chimp has been mentioned by Ambush Bug in the Channel 52 feature sections. He later appears as a brief cameo in aiding the Justice League United team rescue Adam Strange from the Zeta Beam and in the 2016 DC Comics Rebirth Christmas Special story "The Night We Saved Christmas".

DC Rebirth
In DC Rebirth, Detective Chimp, a.k.a. Bobo, has appeared in the Dark Nights: Metal event, is one of the survivors of the invasion of the Dark Nights (alternate versions of Batman from a Dark Multiverse) and is seen at the Oblivion Bar alongside the Justice League, Kendra Saunders, Doctor Fate and others. Bobo's close friend Nightmaster, the owner of the Oblivion Bar, is killed in this confrontation. Bobo later takes over the bar and Nightmaster's mystical duties.

New Justice
In the New Justice era, Bobo becomes a central part of a new mystical team called Justice League Dark. This is led by Wonder Woman, and includes but is not limited to, John Constantine, Zatanna, Doctor Fate, Man-Bat, and Swamp Thing. Bobo loses his friend the Blue Devil to mystical purists.

Dawn of DC
In the Knight Terrors story arc of the Dawn of DC publishing initiative (2023), Detective Chimp and several other members of Justice League Dark fall victim to the spells of Insomnia, becoming trapped in his Knightmare Realm. Remaining awake through the chaos, Zatanna and Robotman team up to defend the unconscious Wonder Woman and Detective Chimp against Insomnia's Sleepless Knights and Sleeping Queen.

The New Golden Age
In the pages of "The New Golden Age", Detective Chimp accompanied Doctor Fate in looking for Deadman to see if he can help them understand Hauhet, who is the new guiding force of the Helmet of Fate. When a Huntress from a possible future arrived in the present after her visit to 1940, she finds herself in the company of Doctor Fate, Detective Chimp, and Deadman. Detective Chimp states to Huntress that they can do some introductions over a round of drinks where Deadman will pay for the first round. After Huntress told her tale to them about her future and her encounter with Per Degaton, Detective Chimp and Deadman plan to take the snow globe that was in Huntress' possession to Madame Xanadu to see if she can provide some answers for them. Upon Madame Xanadu getting a reading from the snow globe, she informs Detective Chimp and Deadman that they have to get the snow globe back to Huntress or else Per Degaton will kill her without it. After Per Degaton was repelled, Detective Chimp was with Madame Xanadu and Deadman when they tell the Justice Society of America what Per Degaton plans to do. Detective Chimp even mentions that Per Degaton is doing a sacrificial ritual all across the time stream with this time period being the last line of defense against him. Detective Chimp was with Madame Xanadu, Deadman, and the JSA when they arrive at the area where Huntress was speaking with Batman at.

Powers and abilities
Detective Chimp possesses no unusual physical abilities, save the level of agility and physical strength that comes with being a chimpanzee with human knowledge of movement and tools. He is capable of conversing with all animals, regardless of origin, in their own language, including all spoken and written human languages. He is also one of the most highly skilled investigators in the world, with detective skills rivaling those of Ralph Dibny and Batman. Bobo has an Intelligence Quotient estimated to be higher than 98 percent of the adult (human) population, as evidenced by his Mensa membership and his ability to decode the Voynich manuscript which remained unsolved for over five hundred years. Detective Chimp's hyper-intelligence has shown to have its downsides however as he has claimed it is difficult for him to concentrate without the help of alcohol to focus his mind. For a brief time, Detective Chimp also had additional sense-expanding powers granted him by the helmet of Doctor Fate.

Perhaps because a chimpanzee's muscles are much denser than a human's, Detective Chimp is unable to swim.

Category talk:Soviet spies

Please post comments on bottom of page

George Koval aka DELMAR should be added to a number of lists. ==List quality==

This list of "Soviet spies" is contentious, and has probably been compiled by a neo-conservative who wants to justify the old and new McCarthyism. I would certainly delete Lauchlin Currie's name from the list, and would mention that someone edited my original Wikepedia entry on Currie to embellish Elizabeth Bentley's charges against him. The edit was poorly written and included spelling mistakes, and I resented its insertion into my own article. If people want to dispute an article it should be done in a separate memorandum, not by adulterating someone else's writing. Please note that in my own article I explicitly drew attention to work that does claim that Currie was a spy (Haynes and Klehr, 1999), so the edit was gratuitous as well as ugly. - Roger Sandilands —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sandilands (talk • contribs) 01:12, 22 July 2005.

 * This entire category is filled with assertions that put Wikipedia at legal risk. Persons accused of being Soviet Spies, perhaps. But in many cases the evidence is thin. Calling a citizen a spy means they are being called traitors, which is "libel per se," and the burden of proof shifts. This is a dangerous game being played here by ideological right-wing editors who fail to recognize their own POV.--Cberlet 04:03, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If you follow the links, this category was evidently created as a subcategory of Category:Spies by nationality, using a Hollywood/fictional writing type definition. There are steps being taken to work on the problem; again, I would invite you to participate in a structural approach, rather than this constant fueding over contents, which can be dealt with later. nobs 06:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Where is the discussion concering these "steps being taken to work on the problem" taking place? Certainly not on the page you cited, since there is no discussion for that page. I prefer facts to a structural approach that seems to consist of attempts to validate only one narrow POV concerning U.S. intelligence agency issues, when, in fact, in real scholarship, the area is quite broad and often contentious. I am not constantly feuding over contents. I point out inconsistiencies, POV, and misrepresenteations of underlying documents and secondary sources.  That's called editing.  It's what we do here at Wikipedia. If someone who worked where I work brought this list for publication in one of our reports or periodicals, they would probably be terminated for incompetence.--Cberlet 12:28, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I am not seeking an arguement, however let me cite two instances from recent history. (1) A group of editors didn't like the dirt on Harry Magdoff, so they tried to pretend it didn't exist. It  appears they requested the services of Mr. Cberlet to challenge the gubmint's findings.  Mr. Cberlet's first (probably emotional) reaction was to create a new page rather than deal with a structured approach on the existing page.  Final result: although the effort was to eradicate any of the gubmint's findings, now you have TWO pages with the evidence.  (2) Mr. Cberlet didn't like Category:Soviet spies;  nobs &  Noel were in agreement w/Cberlet and were actively discussing the problems with the Category, and looking for a structured approach for a solution;  Mr. Cberlet, in quite hasty fashion put up a CfD.  Now the Category exists whether we like it or not.

 * So my friend, given the record, I suggest the hand of cooperation offered to you may be worth some consideration. nobs 17:20, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Definition
Should defectors really count as spies? That seems pretty bizarre to me, should we call Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi American spies? What about the thousands of people who left East Germany for the West? Are they all West German spies? Lots of famous people defected from the Soviet Union to the USA, if this definition made any sense wouldn't there be a category:American spies? We could put Detroit Red Wing Sergei Fedorov on it. Maybe he brought secret Soviet hockey tape technology with him... The problem could probably be solved by creating a category for defectors from and to the USSR, and purging anyone from this list who wasn't known to be a spy. Flying fish 00:27, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I've pointed out consitently that "spy" is more of a Hollywood & fictional term, and there is a need for better classifiication. The proposals now to add "alleged", or "accused", likewise are ill advised, as that now necessitiates placing Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer within the group that the NSA identified and the FBI concluded were spies.  Such is the status of the debate when partisan extremists become recognized "expert" contributors to Wikipedia.  nobs 18:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * "to the satisfaction of some scholars" - which scholars? This is not a good category to be ambiguous about.  Point 8 from Categorization says Categories appear without annotations, so be careful of NPOV when creating or filling categories. Unless it is self-evident and uncontroversial that something belongs in a category, it should not be put into a category.  I really think that this category should at minimum be split into spies and defectors.  Flying fish 23:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a long history of dispute concerning this and related pages. The page has already been split. See: Category:Accused Soviet spies. Many names are relatively uncontroversial, others are still controversial. see: Significance of Venona.--Cberlet 00:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, that's a good move. The last thing I would suggest is that a category of defectors be created (for both sides), and that people who defected without spying be removed from this list. Flying fish 17:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * That's a good idea -- but I am in the middle of struggling over the Significance of Venona material.--Cberlet 19:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Come now, these individuals were either convicted, confessed, or massive ammounts of information has come to light proving thier guilt. DTC 18:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

<The argument that guilt is established when a handful of scholars and government reports say that "most" of these people are probably guilty is insufficient.--Cberlet 19:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The sources you list don’t say "probable", "might be", "suspected", they categorically and unequivocal say that they were guilty. DTC 19:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yet there is still a debate over Alger Hiss in some academic circles, so why is his name on this page?--Cberlet 21:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Unless someone is convicted, or confesses, they are only "accused", regardless of how much information there is to support the accusation. -Will Beback 22:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Definition II
None of the posts above responed to my point about defectors - they should not be considered spies. If a serious explanation of why defectors should be on this page doesn't come about soon I will simply remove "defectors" from the definition, and Bruno Pontecorvo from the list.

russian spies post-cold war?
where do articles go on russian spies in the post-cold war era?

e.g. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060325/ap_on_re_eu/russia_us_iraq_war Sat Mar 25, 8:15 AM ET Russia Denies Giving U.S. Intel to Iraq

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189050,00.html An unclassified Pentagon report released Friday cited two confiscated Iraqi documents as saying the Russians collected information from sources "inside the American Central Command" and that battlefield intelligence was provided to then-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein through the Russian ambassador in Baghdad.

Brian C. Rosenberg

Brian Clifford Rosenberg is an American academic administrator and a scholar on Charles Dickens. He is currently employed as the president-in-residence at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, following his retirement from the position of president of Macalester College. In addition to these positions, he served on the board of trustees of the Dickens Society from 2000 to 2004. In 2014, the Teagle Foundation announced his appointment to their Board of Directors.

A native of New York City, Rosenberg received his B.A. degree from Cornell University and his M.A. and Ph.D. in English from Columbia University. He has published numerous articles on Dickens and other subjects as well as two books: Mary Lee Settle's Beulah Quintet: The Price of Freedom (1991) and Little Dorrit's Shadows: Character and Contradiction in Dickens (1996).

Rosenberg began his academic career as an adjunct assistant professor of humanities at the Cooper Union in New York City in 1982. He worked at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, from 1983 to 1998 as an English professor and as chair of the English Department and participated in the development of the college's strategic plan. From 1998 to 2003, Rosenberg was dean of the faculty and an English professor at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. While in this position, he was responsible for all academic programs, athletics, the library, instructional technology and the Lawrence University art gallery. He directed the design and passage of the university's first new general education requirements in 15 years, created the college's first mentoring program for new faculty and wrote the long-range faculty staffing plan.

Rosenberg became the 16th president of Macalester College in August 2003. During his 17-year tenure, Rosenberg faced some criticism from the student body and alumni for his salary, which ranked within the top ten highest in America for a college president. He led a number of fundraising campaigns for the college, such as the Macalester Moment campaign, and oversaw the construction and renovation of several buildings on campus, including the Leonard Center Athletics and Wellness Complex, Markim Hall, and the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center. He remained politically outspoken during this time, writing articles on the politics involved in higher education and responding freely to current events in newsletters and statements to the student body.

In 2019, Rosenberg announced that he planned to retire from the position of President at the end of the academic year in 2020; he was succeeded in the position by Suzanne Rivera. In fall of 2020, he will begin working as president-in-residence at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Garage kit

A garage kit (ガレージキット) or resin kit is an assembly scale model kit most commonly cast in polyurethane resin.

They are often model figures portraying humans or other living creatures. In Japan, kits often depict anime characters, and in the United States, depictions of movie monsters are common. However, kits can be produced depicting a wide range of subjects, from characters in horror, science fiction, fantasy films, television and comic books to nudes, pin-up girls and original works of art, as well as upgrade and conversion kits for existing models and airsoft guns.

Originally garage kits were amateur-produced, and the term originated with dedicated hobbyists using their garages as workshops. Unable to find model kits of subjects they wanted on the market, they began producing kits of their own. As the market expanded, professional companies began making similar kits. Sometimes a distinction is made between true garage kits, made by amateurs, and resin kits, manufactured professionally by companies.

Because of the labor-intensive casting process, garage kits are usually produced in limited numbers and are more expensive than injection-molded plastic kits. The parts are glued together using cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) or an epoxy cement and the completed figure is painted. Some figures are sold completed, but most commonly they are sold in parts for the buyer to assemble and finish.

Japan
Japanese garage kits are often anime figures depicting popular characters. Another major subject is "Kaiju" monsters such as Godzilla, and they may also include subjects such as mecha and science fiction spaceships. Garage kits can be as simple as a one piece figure, or as complex as kits with well over one hundred parts. Most commonly they are cast in polyurethane resin, but may also be fabricated of diverse substances such as soft vinyl, white metal (a type of lead alloy) and fabric.

Originally the kits were sold and traded between hobbyists at conventions like Wonder Festival. As the market grew, a number of companies began producing resin kits professionally, such as Federation Models, Volks, WAVE/Be-J, Kaiyodo, Kotobukiya and B-Club, a subsidiary of Bandai producing Gundam kits (Gunpla).

The scale of figure kits varies, but as of 2008, 1/8 seems to be the predominant scale. Prior to 1990 the dominant scale was 1/6. This scale shrink coincided with the rise in material, labor, and licensing costs. Other scales, such as 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/7 also exist, but are less common. Larger kits (1/3, 1/4, etc.) generally command higher prices due to the greater amounts of material required to produce them.

Japanese garage kits are usually cast as separate parts which are packed with instructions and sometimes photographs of the final product. Most professionally manufactured kits come in a box while amateur-produced kits sold at conventions come in plastic bags, blank boxes or even boxes with copied sheet information glued onto them. They are not painted, but some of them do have decals provided by the sculptor or circle. The builder then paints and assembles the model, ideally using an airbrush. However, they can also be painted with a regular brush using a variety of techniques to achieve similar effects as when painting with a conventional airbrush.

United States
In the 1950s and 60s, Aurora and other companies produced cheap plastic models of movie monsters, comic book heroes, and movie and television characters. This market has since disappeared, but through the 1980s an underground market grew through which enthusiasts could acquire the old plastic model kits.

In the early to mid-1980s, hobbyists began creating their own garage kits of movie monsters. There was a small but enthusiastic market for these new model kits. They were poured into flexible molds which could produce rigid reproductions of new figures which were then sculpted more accurately and with more detail than the old plastic model kits. They were usually produced in limited numbers and sold primarily by mail order and at toy and hobby conventions.

In the mid- to late 1980s the monster model kit hobby grew toward the mainstream. By the 1990s, model kits were produced in the US and the UK, as well as in Japan, and distributed through hobby and comic stores. There was an unprecedented variety of licensed model figure kits.

In the late 1990s, model kit sales went down. Hobby and comic stores and their distributors began either carrying fewer garage kits or closing down, along with their producers.

As of 2009, there are two American garage kit magazines, Kitbuilders Magazine and Amazing Figure Modeler, and there are garage kit conventions held annually, like WonderFest USA in Louisville, Kentucky.

Production
Garage kits are generally produced in small quantities, from the tens to a few hundred copies, compared to injection-molded plastic kits which are produced in many thousands. This is due to the labor-intensive nature of the manufacturing process and the relatively low market demand.

Resin casting garage kit production is the most labor-intensive. The upside is that creating the initial mold is much less costly than in the injection-molding process.

Vinyl garage kits are produced by using liquid vinyl Plastisol in a spin casting process known as slush molding. It is more complex than resin casting, but less expensive and less sophisticated than the injection molding used for most plastic products. It is not something that is commonly done in a basement or garage.

Intellectual property issues
The legality of amateur garage kits can be questionable as they are not always properly licensed. The model might be of a copyrighted character or design that was produced by fans because no official model exists.

The relatively low initial investment and ease of resin casting means that it's also easy to create recast copies of existing original kits. Recasts are produced by making molds of parts from original model kits and then doing recasts from the new molds. This can be done for personal use, such as modification of an existing kit, but unlicensed recast copies are sometimes sold unlawfully. In some cases the original kit is no longer available, but in others they are still in active production. The recasts can be of officially licensed model kits, but when they are of unlicensed kits the sculptor usually has a hard time pursuing litigation. The recasts are usually of inferior quality when produced in Thailand, however, other recasters in Hong Kong rival originals in quality and casting and offer at a price that undercuts the original. Recast kits can be found on online auction sites, where they can be difficult to control due to potential cumbersome site policies and seller pseudonymity. Many recasters are in East Asia but can be found all over the globe.

In an effort to legitimize amateur garage kit production and sales in Japan, it is not uncommon for a license holder to issue a 'single day license' (ja:当日版権システム) where for one day only, license is granted for the sale of amateur garage kits. These licensing agreements are typically negotiated between an event organizer (Wonder Festival, Character Hobby, Figure Mania, etc.) and various licensing entities for license to characters from specific TV shows and movies. Typically, the event organizer publishes a list of licenses available in advance, and sculptors intending to sell their sculptures then submit applications (including photos of their sculpture) for approval. Applications may be rejected.

Splash Damage Ltd. is a British video game developer specialising in multiplayer first-person shooter video games. The studio is best known as the creators of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

Formation (2001)
Splash Damage was formed in May or June 2001 by the creators of mods such as Quake 3 Fortress, who was then joined by a number of modders from the Team Fortress and Quake 3 modding scene. The studio began life working with Now TV and Gamer.tv, providing both custom maps and an in-game television production solution. Splash Damage staff also worked to produce and present over 150 TV shows based on Quake III Arena Capture the Flag, creating editing tools and virtual cameras, and editing in-game footage.

Enemy Territory Era (2002–2007)
In March 2002, Splash Damage partnered with Games Domain to produce a number of multiplayer maps for their online gaming service. One of these was the map Operation Market Garden for id Software's Return to Castle Wolfenstein which immediately became the most played third-party map for the game.

Following Market Garden's success, Activision and id Software asked Splash Damage to produce three additional multiplayer maps for the Return to Castle Wolfenstein Game of the Year Edition.

The same year, Splash Damage partnered with the two companies to develop Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a stand-alone expansion based on Return to Castle Wolfenstein. This was originally envisioned to include both a single-player campaign developed by Mad Doc Software and a multiplayer mode developed by Splash Damage, however the single player campaign was dropped.

The Windows version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was released online for free on 29 May 2003, with Linux and Mac versions following later. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory won several Game of the Year and Editor's Choice awards, was nominated for a BAFTA, and is still an incredibly popular online FPS in 2021, with a number of fan projects and tournaments.

In June 2003 and once again working with id Software, Splash Damage created all the maps for Doom 3's multiplayer mode.

At the same as Doom 3, Splash Damage began pre-production on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, a follow-up to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory using a heavily modified version of the id Tech 4 engine and set in the Quake universe, adding a first for the series in the form of vehicles.

Splash Damage grew from seven people on the team at the start team to thirty by the end of the project, in part due to the challenge of creating brand new assets rather than using existing ones on previous titles.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars shipped on 28 September 2007, and has won dozens of awards to date, including several Game of the Year awards and over 25 Editor's Choice awards. The game was later ported to Xbox 360 by Nerve Software who had also contributed a number of maps to the PC version.

Later games & Warchest/Fireteam (2008–2015)
In 2008, Splash Damage announced they would be partnering with Bethesda Softworks on an unannounced title. In 2009, Splash Damage and Bethesda announced Brink, which would eventually be released in May 2011 and was Splash Damage’s first multiplatform title. In August 2011 Splash Damage and Bethesda released the Agents of Change DLC for Brink.

In 2012, Splash Damage launched a publishing division called Warchest and a back-end technology business called Fireteam. It was described as “Splash Damage’s call-to-arms for free-to-play games that are both high-quality and non-exploitative.” These smaller companies went on to publish and support a number of future Splash Damage.

Warchest’s first published game was RAD Soldiers, released in December 2012 on iOS devices, another first for Splash Damage. The tactics-styled game was released after five months of open public testing and over 100,000 pre-registrations, and was made available PC as a free download in the Chrome Web Store in 2013.

On 25 October 2013 Splash Damage partnered with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to create the multiplayer mode for Batman Arkham Origins. Named Invisible Predator Online, this was the Batman Arkham series' first multiplayer mode.

16 February 2015 saw the launch of Splash Damage’s second Warchest-published title and second mobile title with Tempo, released exclusively on iOS.

Dirty Bomb was released on 1 June 2015, entering its open beta phase after two years in closed beta. The free-to-play multiplayer first person shooter title launched on PC with 12 playable mercenaries and two game modes, with more mercenaries, modes and events added over the game’s lifespan. Dirty Bomb was originally published by Nexon, but the publishing rights were transferred to WarChest in 2017. On 18 October 2018 Splash Damage announced they were ending all live developments and updates on the game, but also removed all monetization and made the game completely free to play.

Microsoft partnership (2015–2020)
2015 saw the start of Splash Damage’s partnership with Microsoft and The Coalition, as they provided development support on Gears Of War Ultimate Edition which released on 25 August 2015 for Xbox and 1 March 2016 for PC.

This partnership continued into 2016, as Splash Damage provided multiplayer support on Gears of War 4. This included level design, art support and matchmaking, with the game releasing worldwide on 11 October 2016.

Earlier, in July 2016, Splash Damage, alongside its sister companies Warchest and Fireteam, were acquired by Leyou, a Chinese holding company, via its Radius Maxima subsidiary.

In 2019, Splash Damage provided similar development help for Gears 5, working on level design and art for various multiplayer modes including Versus and Escape; a mode new to the Gears franchise.

Escape mode also included a map editor which utilised a special tile system, and Splash Damage was involved in building these tiles. Gears 5 launched on 10 September 2019 for Xbox One and PC, with an upgraded version for Xbox Series S/X launching on 10 November 2020.

Also in 2019, Splash Damage worked on another Microsoft title: Halo: The Master Chief Collection, in partnership with 343 Industries. Splash Damage was involved in porting the title to PC, and this version of the title released on 3 December 2019.

Splash Damage’s next game in this partnership was Gears Tactics, a turn-based strategy game set 12 years before the original Gears of War game. Gears Tactics released on 28 April 2020 for PC and 10 November 2020 for Xbox consoles, and was nominated for Best Sim/Strategy game at The Game Awards 2020.

Tencent buyout (2020 – present)
In March 2020, Splash Damage announced a new partnership, this time with Google Stadia. Outcasters was announced in July 2020 as an exclusive title for the Google Stadia platform, and published by Stadia Games & Entertainment. Outcasters is a competitive online multiplayer top-down shooter set in a stylised "vinyl world", and launched on 3 December 2020. It is one of a small number of titles to take advantage of Stadia’s Crowd Play and Crowd Choice features, allowing viewers to play the game with a streamer. However, following the shut down of Stadia Games and Entertainment in February 2021, the publishing rights for Outcasters reverted back to Warchest on 31 May 2021.

On 23 December 2020 Tencent officially acquired Splash Damage’s parent company Leyou. In a blog post published at the time, the studio stressed that they would be retaining their independence and will "operate as an independent entity within the Tencent family". CEO Richard Jolly further expanded on this in an interview with gamesindustry.biz where he also spoke about Splash Damage’s expansion, future projects and plans. Radius Maxima was rebranded Splash Damage Group in February 2021.

On 13 October 2021 Splash Damage announced that they are working on a “brand new game in an original sci-fi universe”. No further details are known about the project, but it is one of “several ambitious projects” in production at the studio.

On December 8 2022, during the 2022 Game Awards, it was announced Splash Damage's next game would be Transformers: Reactivate, a 1-4 player online action game based on the franchise of the same name.

On December 9 2022 it was announced Splash Damage had acquired the Derby-based games studio Bulkhead, for an undisclosed sum.

On March 16 2023, Splash Damage along with streamers Shroud and Sacriel announced a partnership on a new project called "Project Astrid", an open-world survival game.
