Hello everyone!Good to see that you guys are still out there and running, and for those who aren't yet, make sure you grab the game while the price is hot. Right now, we indeed have the highest discount we've ever had on Steam!Also right on time for the Summer Sale, we've got an exciting update for you guys.First of all, we took another look at the field of view (FOV or line of sight, if you will) feature, and added a new field visualization aid for it as the PvP mode Dominance confused some players with its suddenly disappearing and reappearing enemies and items. It'll still do that, obviously, but now you'll have a much better idea where the seen and unseen regions are thanks to the visualization. You can enable/disable it in Options & Quality and by default it'll activate for Dominance only. The effect is rather taxing in terms of performance, so players with an older system might want to skip this one.Speaking of Dominance PvP, we've updated the RWR Demo with the ability to play online by joining official Dominance servers! It's just like full version, apart from XP and RP limits.With the FOV visualization in place, it made a lot of sense to also change the character behavior so that it'll turn to face the direction of aim and sight - previously you basically saw the character turn only when actively shooting or moving. It doesn't change gameplay too much in other modes but for Dominance it can help you understand where the enemy players are looking at and thus tell you if they see you or not - that's pretty important!Hope you started well in the Summer, Keep running, Osumia GamesChangelog v1.52: characters: added live aiming, changes character behavior in various ways visuals: added optional FOV/LOS field visualization, by default on for gamemodes with fov rules, can also be useful not recommended for slower PC's weapons: ARES Shrike rate of fire increased by 6% weapons: PAW-20 projectile blast radius increased by 20% maps: minor fixes dominance: modified version of Moorland Trenches added to the map rotator with 3 new sub-stages dominance: some balancing tweaks misc: social media buttons (Discord, Facebook, Twitter) added to the game menu modding: fixed free cam in debugmode so that roll doesn't occur modding: added a vehicle flag for non-destructible on collision with terrain (destroy_on_top_hit in physics tag, by default 1, destroy_on_top_hit_time in physics tag, by default -1.0 meaning insta, top_hit_tracking_time in physics tag, by default 2.0)
Hey Runners!RWR version 1.51 is out! Along the bug fixes, we've made some re-balancing by raising the importance of the support player role by adding, besides the already existing repair wrench, a new wrench type into the supply quad resources. Also C4 has been added in the supply quad to further increase the impact of this fun vehicle.Kill combo has gone through another look too. Recently it was decreased all too much after giving cosmic rewards for big artillery combos, so we came up with a formula to reach a new golden mean. Higher than ever rewards are given for smaller combos, but also big combos still give substantial rewards. This should hopefully make everyone happy and encourage vets once again to use those important strikes in Online Invasion!As by popular request, two new rare weapons have also been added to the already huge collection of over 70 firearms!An important note for the next version is an RP cap that will be implemented into vanilla when the Pacific DLC will be released. We decided to inform you properly several weeks prior so that you have time to burn your RP in case you have more than the cap of 600.000 RP.
The RP limit is being added because some higher ranked players are collecting RP without spending them for cooperative purposes - just use the RP guys :)And now to the part most of you were eagerly waiting for since the announcement of a DLC:The WW2 Pacific war themed &RUNNING WITH RIFLES: PACIFIC& DLC will be available on AUGUST, 4 2017!Even though we have been asked quite a few times already, we still didn't fix a price tag yet but it will most likely be around 10 USD.Changelog v1.51: maps: few tweaks here and there weapons: rare ARES Shrike light machinegun with 6 burst-shots and 60 rounds added as giftbox reward - can only be operated prone or crouched weapons: very rare PAW-20 semi-auto grenade launcher added - fires 20mm grenades which detonate on impact weapons: Claymore trigger radius raised from 0.65m to 1.2m weapons: lowered the sound volume of the MG-42 shot. No more ear bleeding equipment: &wrench& is now called &small wrench&
equipment: &large wrench& added as a Supply quad resource only - repairs 50% more but more expensive equipment: C4 now also added as a Supply quad resource equipment: Vest-III's last layer puts the wearer into wounded state if hit by a bullet instead of being dead vehicles: slightly lowered the speed limiter to match the avg running speed of the soldiers campaign: adding the wrench to the armory invasion: AI distribution in the map &Misty Heights& (map14) has been tweaked (most official servers have been tweaked since a few weeks already)
dominance: claymore not exploding but disappearing on enemy character collision fixed dominance: wrench was missing misc: kill combos reworked to allow better combo bonus on high multi-kills. Smaller combo bonuses are also more effective misc: added an under repair flag for the AI to not drive/enter a vehicle while being repaired misc: equipment hud images realignment fix: crash fixed when inventory is open and the game resets itself, related to online fix: fence/wall combo now use the penetration of the wall instead of the fence fix: map attack and defense map target markers not being applied with zoom in all cases fix: anti-air emplacement after map restart after getting defeated caused radio call drops to show up non-functional fix: some trench walls weren't climbable
fix: fixed a bug with AI vehicle usage causing abandoning of the vehicle sometimes fix: fixed building base top material issue online: sync join connect at game init: if it fails for a valid reason (like server full), cancel reconnects campaign: fixed a bug with campaign stats and continuation option not showing up after leaving the last map modding: data*.pak files with various shader programs, materials and particle scripts have been extracted into vanilla for easier overriding modding: added support for package specific loading screen visual: splash.png

Louis Prima (December 7, 1910 – August 24, 1978) was an
singer, actor, songwriter, bandleader, and trumpeter. While rooted in
, , and , Prima touched on various genres throughout his career: he formed a seven-piece
band in the late 1920s, fronted a
combo in the 1930s and a
group in the 1940s, helped to popularize
in the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s, and performed as a
in the late 1950s and 1960s.
From the 1940s through the 1960s, his music further encompassed early
and , , and even , such as the . Prima made prominent use of Italian music and
in his songs, blending elements of his Italian identity with jazz and swing music. At a time when "ethnic" musicians were often discouraged from openly stressing their ethnicity, Prima's conspicuous embrace of his Italian ethnicity opened the doors for other Italian-American and "ethnic" American musicians to display their ethnic roots.
Prima was from a musical family in . His father, Anthony Prima, was the son of Leonardo Di Prima, a
immigrant from , while his mother, Angelina Caravella, had immigrated from
as a baby. Prima was the
his older brother, Leon, was born in 1907, while his sisters Elizabeth and Marguerite were younger. Marguerite died when she was three years old. Leon, Louis, and Elizabeth were all baptized at St. Ann's Parish. They lived in a house at 1812 St. Peter Street in New Orleans.&/ref&
Prima's mother, Angelina, was a first-generation . A music lover, she made sure that each child played an instrument. Prima was assigned the violin and started out playing at St. Ann's Parish. He became interested in jazz when he heard black musicians, including . Local clubs such as Matranga's, Joe Segrettas, Tonti's Social Club, and Lala's Big 25 were all Italian-American clubs owned and operated by Italians in which African Americans frequently played and fraternized with Italians and Italian-Americans.
According to author Garry Boulard in his book Louis Prima, Prima paid attention to the music coming from clubs and watched his older brother Leon play the . When Leon left the house to spend one summer in Texas, Prima practiced continuously on his worn-down cornet. He formed a band in 1924 with his childhood friends Irving Fazola (clarinet) and Johnny Viviano (drums).
Prima attended
but transferred to Warren Easton High in the fall of 1926. At Warren Easton, he played with the "Eastonites", the school band. In 1927, he partnered with fellow musician Frank Federico and the pair played at "The Whip", a run-down
nightclub. By the spring of 1928, Prima decided he would become a professional musician.
After finishing high school in New Orleans, Prima had a few unsuccessful gigs, including when he joined the Ellis Stratako Orchestra in 1929. Prima, Federico and saxophonist Dave Winstein drove to Florida for a gig but no one showed up. They made it to a relative's house, where they were given money for gas and a meal. Prima did not give up. He joined Joseph Cherniavsky's Orchestra in 1929 at Jefferson Parish. He got a temporary job playing on the steamship Capital that docked on .
Although the Capital did not provide him with a big break for his career, he did meet his first wife Louise Polizzi there. They married on June 25, 1929. From 1931 to 1932 Prima occupied his time by performing in the Avalon Club owned by his brother Leon. His first break was when Lou Forbes hired him for daily afternoon and early evening shows at The Saenger.
New York was an attraction for hungry musicians during the . It posed numerous risks, but all of the best artists in the nation made it in New York if not anywhere else.
met Prima while he was performing at club
during the
season of 1934.
Prima’s first gig in
was supposed to be at a club called Leon and Eddie's, located at 33 West 52nd street. Eddie Davis, one of the owners of the club, did not hire Prima because he thought he was black.
In September 1934, Prima began recording for the Brunswick label. He recorded "That's Where the South Begins", "Long About Midnight", "Jamaica Shout", and "Star Dust". Prima and his New Orleans Gang was a band that consisted of five musicians. Frank Pinero was the pianist, Jack Ryan played bass, Garrett McAdams played guitar, while
played clarinet. The band had their first performance at a club called the "Famous Door", owned and operated by Jack Colt. Prima's recordings from 1935 were a combination of
In May 1935, Prima and Russell recorded "The Lady in Red", a national jukebox hit. They also recorded "Chinatown", "Chasing Shadows" and "Gypsy Tea Room".
also played a role in Prima’s professional and personal life. She was a comedian with potential to become a singer. The two featured a show at the club that granted Prima his first national debut on "The Fleischman Hour". In March 1936, Prima recorded "", which subsequently became a hit for .
Prima moved to California to get away from that lifestyle[] and expand his music. During this time there was a movement for big bands and orchestras. Prima hired Louis Masinter on the string bass, a New Orleans native. He also fired McAdams so that he could have Frank Federico, his childhood friend, play the guitar.
With all of his success, his marriage back in New Orleans had already failed. Louise and Prima were divorced in 1936 because Prima was found cheating on Louise back in 1933, in the French Quarter. A few months later, he was involved in a new fling with Alma Ross, an actress.
Prima and Ross were quite serious and after only a few months together he asked her to marry him while he started his tour out in the Midwest. The couple faced problems in
because they did not meet the marital requirements. Guy Lombardo helped them out by arranging a place in . They wed on July 25, 1936. The coupl one of the worst was that Louis denied much about his past. He never confessed to Alma that he had a daughter until she found out from a tax return. Prima also pushed Ross into signing with
in 1937. He continued to travel along the East Coast with his band.
Prima struggled to upgrade to big band style. It was not supported by his mentors in New York or Los Angeles. With the help of Guy Lombardo he traveled to
to promote his new format at the Blackhawk in October 1936. The new format was not successful. The show did not bring out Prima's performance ability, and the music sounded "overly rehearsed". He lost money and did not pay some of his musicians.
In 1937, Prima and his smaller gang (Federico, Masinter, Pinero, and Meyer Weinberg on clarinet) returned to the Famous Door in New York to perform. He also appeared at 's
club in May 1938. He racked up about a quarter million dollars throughout seven weeks at . He was booked by
in late 1938. This entailed traveling throughout the east coast. Stops were made in Boston, New York, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami Beach, New Orleans, and St. Louis. These trips were sometimes made in the course of one night of driving. The crew always traveled by car, since it was the cheapest option.
In , Prima was deemed unfit for military service because of a knee injury, so he continued performing. In 1939 he was under contract to appear in black theatres in New York, Baltimore, Boston and Washington D.C. First Lady
attended his performance in Washington D.C., and formally invited him to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's birthday celebration. He appeared in photographs with the President, which ultimately boosted his publicity.
By the mid-1940s, Prima was experiencing great success. People were purchasing tickets early in the morning for shows later on that evening. Despite the anti-Italian sentiment during the war, Prima continued to record Italian songs, the most famous being "Angelina", named after his mother. Others included "Please No Squeeza Da Banana", "Bacci Galupe (Made Love on the Stoop)", and "Felicia No Capicia."
He performed the Italian songs at the
in New York. He brought in $440,000 in six weeks. In Detroit he could bring in about $38,000 for an afternoon performance. With all of this success, he decided to go back to Chic he sold out the "Panther Room" in that city.
Prima had several big hits in the summer of 1945 including, "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time" and "Bell-Bottom Trousers". As his career grew, however, his marriage with Alma simultaneously failed. They got a divorce when she discovered he had been cheating on her with another actress. Alma was supposed to receive $15,000 a year or 7.5% of his earnings. Prima ignored the payments until they piled up to about $60,000, which forced him to write a settlement check of $45,000 plus $250 per week. Later he married his secretary, Tracelene Barrett.
By the end of the war years, the popularity of big band music was diminishing, and by 1947 Prima was playing more jazzy versions of his music. Under a new contract with , he recorded "Civilization"; "You Can’t Tell the Depth of the Well"; "Say it with a Slap"; "Valencia"; "My Flame Went Out Last Night"; "Thousand Islands"; "Mean To Me"; and "Tutti Tutti Pizzicato".
In 1948 Prima and Barrett had a baby girl. He continued to work in the northeast, but cut down the size of his orchestra.
Fans knew Prima as a genial and patient celebrity: he always signed autographs or posed for pictures with a smile. To the record companies and big corporations, however, Prima showed little deference, and he was uncompromising in seeking adequate compensation for his work.
offered him $60,000 to be in a movie based on the life of , when the studio increased the offer to $75,000, it was still not enough. Prima wanted $100,000 and creative control of his role, which was rejected by Warner Brothers. He had protracted disputes with the Strand Theatre in Ithaca and , and he flatly refused to allow a former songwriter to advertise herself as "formerly featured with Louis Prima's orchestra".
Prima had expensive tastes: he shopped at luxury clothing stores and always wore top-brand suits. He also spent great sums on
and his own private stable of horses. He said he enjoyed gambling be riding was another one of the things that relaxed him the most outside of his busy performing life. He knew each of his horses well and read about training. Another hobby was boating. He purchased a boat for his third wife Tracelene Barrett for their honeymoon on the .
was seventeen when she met Prima in August 1948. Born in , she made a point to stop by the Surf Club in
to visit him. To her surprise, Prima was looking for a new female vocalist to replace Lily Ann Carol. Smith was wearing a bathing suit and was not allowed into the club until she put on proper attire. Luckily, someone was able to lend her some acceptable clothing and she auditioned. She landed the part and travelled with the band.
Prima signed with
in the fall of 1951 to keep up with the rapid changes in the marketing industry. Throughout the sixteen-month contract his top hits consisted of "Chop Suey, Chow Mein," "Ooh-Dahdily-Dah," and "Chili Sauce". To manage his expenses, he had to drop his big band and play in lesser clubs to support his horses. On top of it all, he divorced his third wife Tracelene on June 18, 1953. Less than a month later he married Keely. She was open to criticism and he wanted to make her a star. He had to find the style that fit her correctly, especially since
was emerging. Prima was not against rock 'n' roll like some other artists, such as
and . He accepted that the kids had "an instinct for the kind of music that's fun to listen to and dance to."
In 1954 Prima was offered to stay at
to open his new act with Keely Smith. He enlisted New Orleans saxophonist
and his backing musicians, "The Witnesses". The act was a hit, and ultimately led Prima to sign with
He released his first album with Capitol Records, The Wildest!, in September 1956. Some of the popular songs include his medley of "Just a Gigolo" and "I Ain't Got Nobody". In 1957, they released The Call of the Wildest. Keely worked with other artists to release the album I Wish You Love, and received a Grammy for it in 1958. Keely also received a Playboy Jazz Award in 1959. She got a number one female vocalist reward in
from Billboard and Variety. The duo also redid "Old Black Magic", which was a Top 40 hit for two months. It earned the duo a Grammy. The couple also had two daughters together, one of whom, Toni, is an actress and singer in her own right.
Prima decided to relocate his acts to the
because he would take in $3 million for producing twelve weeks' worth of acts a year for five years.
In 1959, Prima signed with
and they produced eight albums. The top albums were Wonderland By Night and On Stage in 1961. The couple was constantly performing and it affected their marriage. To attempt relaxation, the couple set out on a trip on the Atlantic coast, but ended up grounded in the
until rescued by the Coast Guard.
In January 1961, Prima was invited by Frank Sinatra to perform in the inaugural gala for P the two played "Old Black Magic" together.
The constant performances and Prima's sometimes flirtatious actions were too much for Smith. After finishing up their contract at the Desert Inn, she filed for divorce at the Eighth Judicial Circuit Court of Nevada in Las Vegas.
After Keely was out of his life and his performances, Prima tried to prove that he did not need her. In the New York Post, there was a suggestion that Keely should rejoin for an act in New York's Basin Street East nightclub. Prima said, "I have no desire whatsoever to have any dealings with Keely Smith under any conditions…There is nothing in the world or no one that could ever make me accept this woman in our act."
Prima's father died in 1961, the same year as the divorce with Keely. His mother died in the winter of 1965, for which he partly blamed Keely.
In 1962, he tried to form his own recording company called "Prima One Records". He tried to fill Keely's spot with , a waitress who was 21 years old. He did his best to make her famous by producing her first album "This Is … Gia." It was funded entirely by him, and it was not successful. With Gia, his fifth wife, Prima had a daughter and his only son , the last of his six children.[] He was also in the middle of making appearances in Las Vegas and promoting the film .
In 1967, Prima landed a role in 's animated feature , as the raucous
. He performed the hit song "" on the soundtrack, leading to the recording of two albums with : The Jungle Book and More Jungle Book, and also covering MC duties and singing the theme song "Winnie the Pooh", for the 1967 album entitled, Happy Birthday Winnie the Pooh, all of these on . He can also be heard on the soundtrack of another cartoon feature, .
One of Prima's final television appearances was on
as a "mystery guest" in 1970.
Prima suffered a heart attack in 1973. Two years later, following headaches and episodes of memory loss, he sought medical attention, and was diagnosed with a . He suffered a
and went into a coma following surgery. He never recovered, and died three years later, in 1978, having been moved back to New Orleans. He was buried in
in a gray marble crypt topped by a figure of , the trumpeter-angel, sculpted in 1997 by Russian-born sculptor Alexei Kazantsev. The inscription on the crypt's door quotes the lyrics from one of his hits: "When the end comes, I know, they'll say, 'just a gigolo' as life goes on without me…"
On July 25, 2010—the centenary year of his birth—Prima received a star on the .
