Gilded Age Gladiator (2011)
Plot
GILDED AGE GLADIATOR is an 11-minute documentary that recounts the career of 19th century boxer John L. Sullivan. Using animated characters, the film details Sullivan's rise from barroom brawler to America's first sports celebrity. The film highlights Sullivan's 1889 battle for the Heavyweight Championship of the World, an epic 75-round bout that was covered by the international press despite the fact that it was an illegal bare-knuckle fight. It was the last title bout fought under bare-knuckle rules, marking the turning point in boxing's transition from outlaw entertainment to respectable sport.

Prepárate para la nueva experiencia multijugador de Crytek, un proyecto escalofriante que estará disponible para PC y consolas, "HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age". Se trata de un título completamente nuevo, HUNT es un juego de acción en tercera persona en el que hasta cuatro jugadores se unen para defenderse de ataques contra sanguinarias criaturas a la vez que tratan de localizar y acabar con sus temibles jefes. Con un intenso juego cooperativo, HUNT supone el debut de Crytek EE.UU. Corp., y será publicado por Crytek como parte del creciente catálogo de Games-as-a-Service. Los jugadores no tendrán que esperar mucho tiempo para echar un vistazo a HUNT en acción, ya que podrán ver el juego en la feria del E3 de este año, del 10 al 12 de junio. Ambientada en 1800, HUNT representa un mundo en el que los llamados mitos y la realidad muestran la estremecedora verdad acerca del mal, que acecha más allá de los límites del día a día. Los jugadores actúan como cazadores dispuestos a tomar las armas y arriesgar sus cuellos aventurándose en el más mortífero de los territorios y enfrentándose a las criaturas más terribles. Para dar más emoción a la caza, el sistema especial de generación de contenidos garantiza que los jugadores no se encuentren dos veces con el mismo entorno o enemigos. La emoción de saber que uno de los combates contra los jefes finales podría estar a la vuelta de la esquina, hará que te suba la tensión. Derrotar a los jefes requiere de una estrecha colaboración entre los cazadores, para descubrir y acabar con algunos de los monstruos más aterradores. HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age entrará en fase beta para PC a finales de año.

In United States history, Gilded Age refers to the period following the Civil War and Reconstruction, running from the late 1860s to 1896.
The term "Gilded Age" was coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their book The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873). The term refers to the gilding of a cheaper metal with a thin layer of gold, with a hint of the "golden age" of a nation's glory. Many critics at the time complained that the era was marked by ostentatious display, crass manners, political corruption, and shoddy ethics.
Historians point out that it was a time of enormous industrial, urban and agricultural growth, that attracted millions of eager workers from Europe. Railroads were the major industry, but the factory system and mining were important as well, and labor unions began to be important. The growth was interrupted by major nationwide depressions known as the Panic of 1873 and the Panic of 1893. Much of the growth, however, only applied to the former Union states. The former confederacy was still economically devastated from the Civil War and their economy became increasingly tied to cotton and tobacco production. Black Americans in the south experienced the worst setbacks, as they were stripped of political power and voting rights. The political landscape was unique in that despite rampant corruption turnout was high and elections between the evenly matched parties were close. The dominant issues were rights for Black Americans, tariff policy and monetary policy. Reformers worked for civil service reform, prohibition and woman suffrage, while philanthropists built colleges and hospitals, and the many religious denominations exerted a major sway in everyday life.
