7/25/2023 0 Comments Killer instinct 2 jago themeSabrewulf's retro appearance in Killer Instinct (2013) Although he has spent most of his life as a recluse, he enters the Killer Instinct tournament on the promise of a cure if he is victorious. Sabrewulf is afflicted with the rare disease, Lycanthropy. Sabrewulf's original appearance in Killer Instinct (1994) Story These traits have turned the aging werewolf into a grizzled survivor, and the apex predator of almost any environment he finds himself in. Sabrewulf not only is highly unpredictable and savagely feral, but he sometimes displays a strange sense of self-preservation as well as moments of deadly patience. Even with his body now left in an elderly, dilapidated state, Konrad exhibits a frightening physical prowess steered by decades of experience in stalking and devouring any living things that are unlucky enough to cross his path. Ultratech wasn't exaggerating in that assessment. This has caused Ultratech to summarily classify Sabrewulf as " one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet." While the loss of strength or dexterity a lycanthrope suffers in advanced age is negligible, the redoubled animality and ancient instincts they master will more than make up for it. These observations led her to a troubling conclusion: an elderly werewolf represents a much greater danger than a younger one. Suffering from one of the most virulent strains of lycanthrophy on record and being the longest lived werewolf known to exist, Konrad von Sabrewulf has been studied extensively by ARIA over the years. This soon rendered the werewolf into the ultimate wildcard amidst the struggle for humanity's survival. Now nourishing an addiction to ancient medicines which seem to slow his descent into the werewolf's savagery, Konrad lives in the terrifying knowledge that his chances of being a human again grow dimmer with every moon rise.ĭuring the events of Shadow Lords, it became clear that the dire presence residing inside Sabrewulf neither fears nor answers to the demon lord Gargos, and is a spirit so ferocious it hunts even powerful evil in its blind thirst for more bloodshed. He malnourished himself to the brink of starvation, hoping the beast within would grow too weak to wreak havoc come his next transformation only to discover a wolf is never more dangerous than when it's starving. He sealed himself away within his family's estate in Germany, only to awaken and find it half-destroyed and its gates busted open with unnatural ferocity. With desperation taking hold, Sabrewulf turned to forlorn measures to try and safeguard the outside world from his alter ego's mad bloodlust. Worse still, Thunder told "hímiinhaama" (the "wolf-man") that the spirit dwelling inside him was dark and violent in nature, and was not a " weyekin" (or spirit guide) known to the Nez Percé. The promise of a cure, however, proved a false hope-a pretense by ARIA to have an opportunity to study and weaponize the werewolf's features. Desperate to keep the beast within him at bay, he's willing to do anything for the chance to regain his lost humanity, including participating in the original tournament on promises of a "cure" from Ultratech, subjecting himself to gruesome experimentation, and seeking out the Nez Percé tribe in the hopes that the native lore of the Americas can offer him insight into his condition as a " skin-walker". Throughout the series, Konrad von Sabrewulf is portrayed as a tortured and conflicted soul, trapped inside the body of a monster. Sabrewulf's retro costume largely mirrors his original 1994 appearance, although he now wears a white shirt instead of a green one, and he has a belt and a blue loincloth which is supposed to be pants that have been shredded and torn up. He now wears torn, gray pants instead of his red ones from the previous game. In Killer Instinct (2013), Sabrewulf's fur has grown longer and more ragged, and he has regrown his original arms, although they're much thinner, with needle-marked veins bulging along his biceps, and he has torn straps around his wrists and a tied cloth knot on his upper left arm. In both games, he has three bats accompanying him. ![]() He now wears torn, red pants and a yellow sash. In Killer Instinct 2/ Gold, Sabrewulf has had his arms replaced with cybernetic implants and lost his shirt. However, if one reaches the end of his arc in the game, his human form is revealed to have tattered, green pants. He had an abnormally small waist and a massive, upper body. In the original Killer Instinct, Sabrewulf is a purple/blue-furred, humanoid werewolf with yellow eyes and long claws on his hands and feet, wearing only a tattered, green shirt.

7/25/2023 0 Comments Blood bowl 3 review![]() After playing it for a while it’s like launch Darktide. We’ll see how slow warpstone acquisition is when that rolls out. The cosmetics are real money only, until they roll out coach leveling sometime during this pre-season period which gives store currency on level up. Until they start detailing it more we won’t know how it all breaks down until May when the first season rolls out. The main point addressing missing out battle pass content is section 5 which states that you will “get another chance” to get battle pass items so whether than means you can buy battle passes from past seasons and work on them whenever or if they just throw battle pass cosmetics into the store later on has yet to be seen since the wording is vague about what that means. The second article details what they are doing with their battle pass system. My cynical opinion is that this too is the result of an aggressively monetized customization system.įound these two posts from digging around the Blood Bowl reddits and they apparently detailed more about what they want to do for the seasons and the current pre-season (which runs until May which is wild). Perhaps something changes until then, but I doubt it.Īlso unlike in the previous BB games, mutations on level up for Chaos / Skaven players ( horns, tails, claws, extra arms, -etc- ) do not appear on the player models anymore. The game technically only launches tomorrow, today is just early access for owners of one of the premium editions. ![]() The game has three season passes announced which are going to include unlockables, but I think we have no confirmation of any of their contents. There is only team customization, IE you get to pick the colour of your team uniforms -etc-.Īll player customization appears to be tied to one of the premium editions ( of which there are three ) and the ingame shop where you buy cosmetics with the premium currency 'Warpstone' which is sold in bundles ranging from 2€ to 50€ and I've been told, though I can not confirm this myself, they do not match the actual prices of the cosmetics forcing you to overspend. There is zero player customization not even different heads / faces. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creeschĪll these customization options they've been showing off in their trailers do not appear to be available with the standard edition of the game as of right now./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.

Nightclub manager Darnell Wright ( Martin Lawrence) is a perpetual playboy and hopeless male chauvinist. The movie is comparable to Fatal Attraction. R&B trio H-Town recorded a cover version of this song that was included on the film soundtrack. The title for the film is taken from the 1971 song " Thin Line Between Love and Hate" by The Persuaders. The film was shot on location entirely in the city of Los Angeles, California, from June 5 until August 11, 1995. The film was released on April 1996 and went on to gross over $30 million at the box office against a budget of $8 million. The film tells the story of Darnell Wright, a ladies' man who finds himself targeted by one of his obsessed lovers. In addition to Lawrence, the film's cast includes Lynn Whitfield, Regina King, Bobby Brown, and Della Reese. Lawrence co-wrote the screenplay alongside Kenny Buford and Bentley Kyle Evans, who has also written for Lawrence's hit television sitcom, Martin, and Kim Bass. Read the lyrics of the Annie Lenox version.A Thin Line Between Love and Hate is a 1996 American black comedy- romance film directed and co-written by Martin Lawrence, who also stars in the film. And Lennox’s version sounds as fresh today as it ever has. “Thin Line” hopefully has generated substantial publishing income for its writers over the years, as it has been sampled by various acts, and was also cut by the Pretenders and by R&B trio H-Town for the Martin Lawrence movie of the same name. The song is a classic about domestic violence, a timeless subject that isn’t covered often in popular music, and in the end, as in real life, nobody wins. Production-wise, the cuts are different as night and day, with the original Persuaders version getting a somewhat typical early ‘70s soul/R&B treatment, while Lennox uses great synth patches and voicings and a blazing harmonica to create a track that sets up her powerful vocal attack. Lennox sings this song like she’s lived it, but in the original version, Scott also delivers a remorseful gut-wrenching vocal, so it’s fun to compare the two. For instance, the lyrics originally sung by Scott from the male first-person are: On Medusa, Lennox reworked the lyric to be sung from the second-person point of view of a narrator who could be either male or female, as he or she sang to that song’s male character. “Thin Line” was written by Richard Poindexter, Robert Poindexter and Jackie Members, none of whom were members of the group. In 1971 the song was a hit single by the New York-based vocal group the Persuaders (not to be confused with another New York vocal group, the Persuasions), with lead singer Douglas “Smokey” Scott spinning a tale of how his neglect and mistreatment of his woman landed him in the hospital. ![]() One of the songs on the album was originally a male-sung composition that Lennox turned into a feminist anthem of sorts, “Thin Line Between Love and Hate.” Never mind the critical reception though - the public and NARAS didn’t have a problem with the album, which entered the UK charts at number one, sat on the Billboard 200 chart for over a year, sold six million units and won a Grammy. Annie Lennox recorded 10 cover songs on her 1995 album Medusa, which was trashed by many critics but is mostly recognized as a great album today. 7/24/2023 0 Comments Nectar vs casper vs leesa![]() Casper and Leesa both offer only a 100-night sleep trial.

If so, tell us all in the comments. Of course, to prevent and stop fabric dye bleeding in the first place you should sort your clothes before washing. Otherwise, the heat of the dryer may set the dye stain in those clothes making it much more difficult, or even perhaps impossible, to remove. The main thing to remember when trying to remove bleeding colors from laundry is not to dry the items in the dryer until the excess dye is removed. ![]() This is not guaranteed to work though, but is worth a try. If you don't want to buy a product just to fix your white clothes that have turned pink, for example, you could also try soaking them in a solution of oxygen bleach or color safe bleach and water. For the Carbona product you need to use three packages, and for the Rit product four packages. Please note that for both products you need to buy more than one, if you want to remove dye that has run onto a full load of clothing. The two that most readily come to my mind are Carbona Color Run Remover and Rit Color Remover. When that happens you can try some products which are designed to get rid of that bleeding dye. No matter how careful it seems we are when sorting our laundry there are times when that stray red sock, or other item gets slipped in with everything else and bleeds dye onto other clothing in the wash. If one color bleeds onto another is there a way to try to get it out?

A few years later Quark felt the financial blow and responded beautifully but the snobby newbies refused to even give it a fair look and shunned it and today make fun of folks who still use it, ignorantly not know how much better than InDesign it is. So they bit the bullet and allowed employees time to learn how to use it on their dime. These being cold hard facts, I'm perplexed as to why you rejoiced when Quark was edged out as the industry standard by a software that merely got the option because in 1997 Adobe was struggling to sell InDesign and they struck andeal with Apple to include the full Creative Suite with every Mac sold.Īgencies decided that the $600 upgrade fee for Quark was too expensive being as their new machines already had the bee version of Pagemaker in InDesign. Produced using Quark are 1,000,000 superior to PDF's created in ANY software. Quark is still just as user friendly and QUICK with less issues than InDesign by a million fold, and it's about 35-40% more efficient and its footprint is smaller and files created in quarkmare vastly smaller in size, and on top of it all final print ready PDF's created from Postscript files Quark is STILL light years superior to InDesign and I use both daily, so it's not some old fogey opinion due to not being able to adapt to new things. Why on earth were you happy to see Quark Die? I'm that tells me that you started in this industry only after InDecrap was released because not a single person in the hundreds of agencies and service bureaus disliked Quark in any capacity. If it engaged even 20% of the machine's capabilities, we would never see the loading bar, much less the beach ball and all these threads and threads of speed and performance complaints across a myriad or support sites would all dry up. It is absolutely infuriating watching it chug along and only access a fragment of the computer's power. indb file and hit synchronize, I get a beach ball, as it figures out a progress bar, then the progress bar creeps across as it chugs along. Guess what?

Rather than address the problem in a new version release, they hide the lag in these forums telling people to trash their preferences or reinstall the software. What am I getting at? InDesign does not support modern multicore processors. As you watch the beachball spin and the load bar barely creep - you'll notice that the CPU load is negligible (for me its 2%) and that of all the CPU processor cores on your machine, only one at a time engage. What do I mean? Download any CPU monitor (mac or PC) and start whatever process is taking up all the hours in your life. All these "solutions" are nonsense trying to hide the fact the InDesign is just badly written software that Adobe for whatever reason keeps kicking down the road and not fixing.

Spanish tennis player Marta Cano Country (sports) Grand Theft Auto Vice City is the pinnacle of old school GTA. A completionist will find 70+ hours of content. GTA 6 takes the best elements of GTA 3 and polishes them to a mirror sheen, offering about 30 hours of gameplay in a straight run. Despite its large size Vice City runs great on iPhone. On the flip side of the coin, this makes it easier to run the game on mobile devices or older hardware. It's a good thing the voice acting is so good, because the human models are low-res and can barely emote. ![]() The textures of GTA 6 are lackluster and uninspired by today's standards, and LOD suffers on top of that. Boat controls sadly have not improved either, and missions such as Diaz' yacht are so poor that it's often better to simply go the long route just to avoid entering the water. The game's camera is unwieldy and leads to frustrating crashes into objects and unintentional missed turns. The controls for jumping and aiming are passable, but lack the smoothness and intuition modern day gamers have come to expect, and the lack of swim controls is downright silly for a game that features a boat right on the box art.Ĭompared to more recent GTA, Vice City is bare-bones and clunky. Vice City is the GTA's older formula at its best, but some of its inherent technical aspects and older gaming conventions have aged rather poorly, especially when compared to more recent free roam single player sandbox games such as the Just Cause series or Far Cry. It's the continuity and the macro game of manipulating the city to work for you that keeps players hooked for the long haul. The quests in Vice City are more multifaceted and complex than those of GTA 3, which typically amounted to glorified fetch quests.īy comparison the missions of GTA 6 don't feel like one-shot ideas, but building blocks towards a legitimate goal: Vercetti aims to run this city, and there's a ladder he must climb before he can do so. For better or worse, Vice City doesn't break much new ground, but instead polishes what already made the series stand out. It's fair to say that Vice City merely improved upon an already successful formula. GTA 3 is the closest game you'll get to Vice City. How does it compare to Grand Theft Auto 3? Full voice acting was rare back in 2002 when this game was released, and whether you played then or are booting it up now for the first time, the performances and attention to detail are professional quality, even down to the period-correct radio stations. The atmosphere is reminiscent of crime drama nostalgia like 'The Godfather,' 'Scarface,' or 'Carlito's Way', and that's in large part due to the voice acting work of the cast. ![]() You can choose to intervene, or you can just cruise along and turn up the radio (be sure to check out VCPR for laughs). News copters hover overhead while rival gangs pursue turf wars in the streets. ![]() ![]() This cheerful, thriving atmosphere belies the seedy, sleazy underground that drives the story forward.Īs you speed down the road in whichever fancy hijacked vehicle suits your mood, you can observe the city around you going about its day-to-day: Sports cars zip down the roads while, boats parade through the water ways. Vice City takes place before the events of GTA 3, and shifts from the prior gritty urban environment to a bright and colorful coastal city inspired by Miami. The city itself is one of the major characters of the game, and is fully realized with a living, breathing personality of its own, one that cannot be ignored. The plot of GTA 6 is more nuanced than its predecessor, but remains simple at its core: Get revenge, get money, and embrace infamy. These are supporting characters such as Diaz, Ken Paul, or the corrupt lawyer Ken Rosenberg. Vice City toes the line between gratuitous violence and humor, the latter of which mostly comes from the memorable cast whose personalities amusingly pinball off of Vercetti. |
