The 4-day attendance of the tournament is around 500,000. The most popular hole for spectators to watch is the 16th hole due to the atmosphere of the hole. The hole has been could be described as "one big party", with many students from the nearby Arizona State University. Poor shots at the 16th hole receive boos, because the hole is very easy by the PGA's standards. Good shots, however, are cheered for loudly. The most popular golfer at FBR is unquestionably Phil Mickelson, a native of Arizona and alum of Arizona State. In addition to the golf, there is a concert/party held in the Scottsdale area called the Birds Nest, in which musi ...

After Phoenix repaired the M'Kraan Crystal, she began to feel a hunger deep within her for sensation and power much like she had felt while in the Crystal. This hunger made her an easy target for the illusionist Mastermind, who was attempting to prove himself in order to join the prestigious Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. With the help of a mind-tap device created by the White Queen, Emma Frost, Mastermind (using the alias Jason Wyngarde) was able to project his illusions directly into Phoenix' mind. Believing herself to be his 18th Century lover, Lady Grey, Phoenix was subverted into j ...

Like many arcade games of that era, Phoenix is an outer space-themed fix shooter. Gameplay is somewhat predictable: each level has spaceships, alien birds that fire at your ship, and a mothership that is guarded by many of the same alien birds. The mothership also fires at your ship. It was one of the first full color arcade games along with Galaxian, so at the time it stood out. Also, it has distinctive shooting sounds that have become very familiar to fans of the genre. Most importantly, the Phoenix mothership was the first video arcade game boss wh ...

It was a program which resulted in both a refugee problem and greater discontent among the population. The Phoenix program was dangerous, for it was being used against political opponents of the regime, whether they were Viet Cong or not. Phoenix also contributed substantially to corruption. Some local officials demanded payoffs with threats of arrests under the Phoenix program, or released genuine Viet Cong for cash. Some military experts surmised that Phoenix was helping the Viet Cong more than hurting it. By throwing people in prison who ...
