Kuon

Kuon (九怨, Eternity) is a survival horror video game for the PlayStation 2, developed by FromSoftware. Kuon is based on an ancient type of Japanese horror story called Kwaidan. The game is set in a mansion in Kyoto during the Heian Period of Japan.

Gameplay

In Kuon, the player moves their character by tilting the analog stick in any direction. The player can also make their character move faster by running; however, this both drains the character's health and attracts any nearby enemies. The player can use meditation to restore their character's health (while they are standing still), as well as use herbal medicines and holy water containers from the menu.

There are two types of attacks in Kuon: melee (physical) attacks and magical attacks. Melee attacks are performed with the character's weapon, be it a knife (Yin phase), a fan (Yang phase), or a spear (Kuon phase). Magic is divided into two types—attack and summon—both of which are performed with magic cards. Attack spells include various fire- and ice-based spells. Summoned beings perform a variety of tasks, from attacking creatures for you to trapping them and causing a one-hit kill. The player may also summon creatures to serve as bodyguards as well.

Kuon (song)

"Kuon" (久遠, lit. Eternity) is Japanese voice actor Mamoru Miyano's debut single, released on May 23, 2007. It had peaked at #47 on the Oricon charts, and the title track was used as the ending to the anime Kotetsu Sangokushi.

History

Television

Nebraska was one of the first states in the nation to begin the groundwork for educational broadcasting. The University of Nebraska successfully applied to have channel 18 in Lincoln allocated for educational use in 1951.

In 1954, however, John Fetzer, owner of KOLN-TV, offered to donate his station's old channel location on channel 12 (it had recently moved to channel 10) to NU. This allowed UNL to use more signal at less cost. UNL quickly jumped at this proposal, and KUON-TV went on the air on November 1 from KOLN-TV's studios. It was operated in trust for NU until 1956. In 1960, the Nebraska Council for Educational Television was created by six school districts in Nebraska. By 1961, 5 VHF and 3 UHF channels were allocated for educational use in Nebraska—the largest set ever approved for educational use in a single state. In 1963, the state legislature, per a committee's recommendation, approved plans for a statewide educational television network under the control of the Nebraska Educational Television Commission. A deal was quickly reached in which Lincoln's KUON-TV would remain under NU's ownership, but serve as the new state network's flagship.
