Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.

Sega’s Intension on Blockchain Game

The real-time strategy game Sangokushi Taisen is mostly played in Japanese arcades. This Sangokushi Taisen series of strategy games would let users use digital playing cards in a virtual gaming world. Also, the game design makes it easy to integrate blockchain components, such as the tokenization of some in-game assets and the trading ability of the cards.

Meanwhile, none of the companies have stated how these blockchain components will be implemented into the gameplay. Also, Sega has not yet disclosed an approximate release date for the game. Moreover, in 1994, the SEGA VR-1 headset developed by Sega  is the metaverse industry’s first VR equipment. Countries that benefited from this were Sydney, London, and Japan. Additionally, this year has witnessed a rise in the use of blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
