![]() ![]() If everything has a dark reflection, are there Upside Down human inhabitants? Where did the Upside Down originate? Are there multiple dimensions? Does it exist only to house the horrifying creatures who live there or was it there before them? It'd be really interesting to see the show begin to answer some of those questions and build out the wider narrative world of the universe. This season we'd love to see a more in-depth explanation of the inner workings of the Upside Down. What Is the Upside Down?For a series so steeped in fantasy and the nostalgia-heavy lore of other shows, films, and properties, Stranger Things hasn't done much to build its own wider mythology. So will we see a whole team of mutant teens? The odds are low after the mixed response to the introduction of Eight last season, but it's not wholly unlikely that we'll get an answer about the fate of the other kids from Hawkins Laboratory. and of course where on Earth kids One through Seven, and Nine and Ten were. ![]() ![]() When it came to choosing between her old family and new, El chose her friends back in Hawkins and left her surrogate sister behind, leading fans to ponder whether or not Eight would ever return. Kali, another obvious query is about the fate of El's new family, who were at the center of the divisive episode last season that saw the young girl go on an X-Men-inspired journey of self-discovery. What Happened to Eleven's Surrogate Family and Her Superpowered Sister?Speaking of Eight, A.K.A. So could it be that there were telepathic kids in other cities, states, countries, and continents? If so, it would make sense that they may have opened their own "Rifts" or began to be able to connect with the Upside Down after El opened one in Hawkins during Christmas of 1984. In Season 2, fans learned about Eight, the other superpowered kid from the Hawkins Lab. Whether or not Hopper is a big bad or a hero, it could very well come up as it would be a massive conflict between the newly legitimized father and daughter unit.Īre There Other Earthly Connections to the Upside Down?One thing that we know for sure is that Hawkins has a connection to the mysterious world of the Upside Down, but something we really want to know is if there are other spaces in the world that also act as portals to that strange realm. Brenner in order for him and Joyce to save Will. Does Eleven Know About Hopper's Deal with Brenner?Depending on whether or not Stranger Things decides to explore the potential of Hopper as a villain, it'll be intriguing to see if this season revisits the plot point which saw Hopper sell out El to her “papa” Dr. As she grows up and inevitably tries to break free, Hopper might end up being the perfect antagonist whether through his own making or as a vessel for the Mind Flayer. He may have been trying to protect her but it was an extreme way of looking after the young girl. Is Hopper the True Big Bad of Stranger Things?This may be sacrilege as he's probably the most beloved character, but Hopper's arc in the second season hinted that his own trauma and grief has the potential to bring out a dangerous darkness within the cranky cop, with him essentially kidnapping El and keeping her prisoner for much of Season 2. ![]()

![]() Wo Long‘s strongest element is its combat. This dragon provides one of the rare shakeups to the structure of a level, pressuring the player to find cover while it calls down lightning. Levels aren’t wholly without merit, but the obvious signposting doesn’t give them the chance to feel real or distinct, instead feeling like a series of encounters broken up by some walking segments. ![]() But too often it feels like another thing to collect. It’s an admirable attempt to spice up the level design and sometimes the sight of a flag brings with it a satisfying gasp of relief. Rather than a fun reward for going off the beaten path, players are much more likely to seek them out to hedge their bets, anticipating a death or two against the boss and not wanting to go grind on the monsters in the level to increase Morale to put them on equal footing. ![]() But they often end up feeling perfunctory. Many flags are hidden off the beaten path but finding them rewards the player with a full heal and an increase to minimum Morale Rank for the level. Players can find Battle and Marking Flags around the map and raise them to increase the minimum Morale rank for the level. On its face, Morale is an artificial difficulty curve for each level, one that exists to promote exploration. Morale increases as the player deals out damage and decreases as they take damage, dropping to zero on death. Morale functions as a general power level for the both the player and enemies in a level, with higher Morale equaling more power. The second addition is the Morale system. It undeniably makes the levels more dynamic, especially when offering new ways of approach for specific enemies and more stealthy strategies. snappiest jump, and the game will sometimes call for minor platforming when the fluidity required isn’t up to the task, but Team Ninja gives a pretty generous reach for the player to pull themselves up ledges. The first is the jump button, which helps to expand the levels upwards. But Team Ninja has added in some elements that help to make exploring a bit more dynamic. Each mission consists of the player fighting through enemies to get to the end where a boss usually awaits. The game is divided into missions, each a fairly linear trek through a war-torn city or fortress with a few naturalistic levels thrown in for good measure. Spirit Damage shrinks the enemy’s Spirit Gauge, making it easier to break their Spirit.įortunately, Wo Long is far more about its gameplay. Many players will wish them to be over quickly so that more interesting parts of the game can be gotten to. The standard fashion that cutscenes play out mean that any story detail and depth quickly washes away, as the cutscenes themselves are also simply not interesting. The player character does most of the work before being largely sidelined into cutscenes to make way for famous figures who are of historical importance, but only serve as exposition delivery vehicles here. It may sound like a lot of setup, but the story of Wo Long plays out in a very mundane fashion. ![]() The use of this talisman alerts a mysterious figure known as the Taoist in Black, who seeks to corrupt the Divine Beasts using Elixir so as to claim their power. The player wakes up in the midst of a heated battle, having staved off death with the help of a talisman. Hoping to succeed where the Emperor failed, the fractured factions of China began to war over Elixir. The First Emperor of the Qin tries to claim it, failing in the attempt. In Wo Long, turmoil engulfs China as war erupts over Elixir, a sacred substance that acts as a path to power and immortality. Wo Long is another generally good variation on Nioh, being more approachable in the ways it streamlines its character building while more restrictive in the more focused nature of its combat. Its newest effort is Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, an action RPG that brings players to the fall of a version of the Han Dynasty that’s also being ravaged by a scourge of demons. Since then, it has been iterating on that success, pushing at the edges of difficulty and playing around with different kinds of RPG mechanics. When Nioh dropped in 2017, Team Ninja proved that it could marry its top notch action gameplay with meaningful RPG systems. ![]() ![]() Some starting point could be at Īs there are projects like Classilla for Classic Mac OS 9 and TenFourFox for Mac OS X on PPC that are both based on Firefox ESR 45 code, there is the hope that ESR 45 will be maintained for a longer period of time or that there will be other projects arising that will somehow maintain browsers for Mac OS X 10.6 and lower.

I guess if you have other wing zero kits you know how friggin huge the wings are. I worked very patiently to get the panels lines just right and it looks great and was really fun to get done. I think Wing Zero has a sharp leg design. When you bend the knee it causes movements of other parts, and it's very satisfying to watch. The legs though are perfectly designed and very anatomically accurate. Like I said it felt needlessly complicated. All in all having some wires and a plug would have worked a lot better. Then attach those to screws on the battery pack. In the kit they make you put in an LED then run wires up into the head and screw them down to connections with the LED. With the head they should have just had an LED with wires already connected to it. I got the torso to work but not the head. For the hips they use metal pieces I felt the same should have been done with the shoulder/torso area as it is a major area of movement and will get some wear and tear to it.Īlso the electrical system seemed purposefully more complicated than it needed to be. It is really hard to describe the actual formation of the upper torso as it involves a lot of tiny tiny parts. Nevertheless I felt like the design was kind of needlessly complicated, and feels a bit flimsy. I actually ended up having to lube mine up with some old valve grease I used to use on my tuba. I'm not talking just a bit of force, I'm saying it felt like I was going to break it just to get it in there. My biggest complain is the arm and torso connection. I will say though that Perfect is not an apt description for it. I will say I had a blast working on the kit, but I do like getting into all those details to really make the kit work.

The RAF-9 robot was designed as an engineering and repair assistant complete with protocols for repairing simple non-robotic equipment. The Robot Twins were heavily featured in the Atomic Heart Gamescon 2022 comb at trailer. The twins, shaped as feminine women coated in metal, have appeared in.

RAF-9 Engineer (also known as Rafik or Raffik, or simply Engineer) is an enemy that appears in Atomic Heart. The Twins are a pair of advanced humanoid robots with a distinctly feminine appearance. These robots featured prominently in the games marketing and are highly sexualized in terms of their physical appearance, actions, and movements. No one has a monopoly on little mustaches, as the late Charlie Chaplin (and Blakey) could attest. But given the situation between Mundfish and Russia, you never know. Her hairstyle isn’t exactly unique - even Star Wars’ Princess Leia was rocking a similar hairdo at one point. It’s also been suggested that the Twins, the game’s ballerina robots, are inspired by Ukranian politician and former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Atomic Heart is a strange game with a fittingly strange and complex story. 21 (and as part of the Game Pass library at launch), features three difficulty settings: Peaceful Atom easy.

Likewise, when the upgraded Voyas smashed through a wall, I wasn’t quaking in terror, because of that round head with its stupid mustache.

The composer Eubie Blake (1887-1983) published his "Charleston Rag" in 1915, but then turned to songwriting with the Broadway musical "Shuffle Along" which included the song "I'm Just Wild About Harry". Among other songwriters, there was Irving Berlin who wrote "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "Everybody's Doing It" among many other popular songs. Wolfe Gilbert in 1912 (and later sung by Al Jolson) owes an obvious debt to ragtime. Harney's works were songs, and the song "Waiting for the Robert E. Ragtime was an influence on songwriters of the day, who wrote songs called rags although they were only loosely based on the conventions of genuine ragtime. Influence of Ragtime in Popular Song and other Genres Though currently out of print, copies of the book are available at .uk and It is a major source of reference material about ragtime and includes 16 complete scores. "They All Played Ragtime" was originally published in 1950 and has been re-issued and revised since then. ![]() It wasn't until many decades later that Rudi Blesh and Harriet Janis thoroughly researched the subject, interviewing surviving ragtime composers, pianists and publishers to create their book which has been called the Bible of Ragtime. In those days many more homes than today had a piano, and so sheet music sales plus live performances were the main source of income for ragtime composers.Īt the time of its inception and for many years afterwards, no-one realised that the emergence of a new form of music was in itself a culturally important phenomenon, and no-one thought to document the emergence of ragtime for posterity. Instead the commercial aspect of the music business was driven by the supply of sheet music. Such piano rolls are the main audio record of the ragtime era, because this was before the days of recorded music. Although many performers had a tendency to play ragtime very fast for comic effect, Joplin frequently indicated on many of his rags that they should be played quite slow or "not fast", and the piano rolls which he created and left for posterity demonstrated the desired slow tempo. Joplin continued to lead this new art form producing a large number of piano rags, many named after dances such as Two Steps, Cake Walks and Slow Drags, and even demonstrating that ragtime could be adapted with different time signatures including the 3/4 Waltz time. The tunes and rhythm are "catchy" and foot-tapping, the syncopations lively and with humour (often poking fun at serious or pretentious music), and anyone with a piano could participate. It's easy to see why this style became popular. He was closely followed by Scott Joplin, who with the publication of the Maple Leaf Rag had the equivalent of a top ten hit. An all round entertainer, he did much to popularise ragtime allowing it to spread beyond its humble beginings. Harney was one of the first practitioners to bring ragtime to the Vaudeville shows in New York. Another possible inspiration to Ragtime composers is the classical composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869) who almost anticipated ragtime with some of his lighter piano works which exhibit a blend of influences including Carribean music.īen R. Towards the end of each section or phrase there might be rising bass lines, changing harmonies or accidentals to give colour and emphasis to the cadences (phrase endings). Indeed ragtime may have drawn some inspiration from the military style marches of John Philip Sousa (1854-1932). This structure is similar to the classical form known as a Rondo, and to various dance forms and marches. They were usually in 2/4 time, and consisted of a number of contrasting 16 bar sections (sometimes with a middle "trio" section), with repetitions and returns to previous sections or a "Da Capo" (return to the begining). Despite the fact that the Right Hand syncopations were far in excess of anything produced in classical music, the structure of these pieces was nevertheless quite strict in a classical sense. The word Ragtime means "syncopated time", the main characteristic of these pieces being the Right Hand playing a syncopated tune while the Left Hand plays a simple regular line of alternating bass notes and simple chords, not unlike the "Alberti Bass" used in classical music by the likes of Mozart and Haydn.
