This wouldn't be an issue except the game does nothing to tell you this, happily letting you sell off your food for handfuls of lock picks that you will never, ever use. Though you apparently won't die even if you're starving, the hungrier you are, the less your health and energy is able to regenerate. While not mandatory, without food you will begin to go hungry. Except for the boars who will kill you with the slightest provocation. Fortunately, they are rather plentiful and are mercifully easy to take down. While each section has plenty of animals to hunt, only certain sections have animals which you can hunt for food. Your arrow's trajectory must be taken into account if you expect to live long enough to throw the Ring of Power into Mount Doom or whatever it is you're supposed to be doing.Īnd then there's hunting which is almost more enjoyable than the whole of the game. While not every shot needs to be carefully considered, there is some strategy to be had. Playing with ranged weapons is surprisingly far more enjoyable than one might be led to believe, particularly the bow & arrow which acts as a bow & arrow would. They do have painfully long reload times in comparison to swords, however unlike melee weapons, you will never be flailing around an area waiting for your energy to regenerate just so you can fight back. Ranged weapons on the other hand require no energy. Melee weapons draw from your energy pool which also happens to be your mana pool. Like suggesting Raging Bull be shot in 3D.īut back to the combat, there is some depth requiring a bit more strategy when one would expect at first. Though it isn't game breaking, it does feel immeasurably stupid. It doesn't make much sense to use dinosaurs when there are perfectly good fantasy lizards stalking around in the form of dragons. We've already accepted we're going to see medieval England dressed up in a certain set of cliches, particularly when the game itself seems pretty adamant about sticking to it. We've already accepted that we're in a land of dwarves and elves. While it's okay to mess around with that continuity, random re-appropriation breaks the immersion. I get that we're in a land of fiction and make-believe, but even within that land, there is an accepted continuity. I realize how difficult it must be to maintain some semblance of originality while being wholly derivative, but simply adding random features to your game does not equal originality. Though they aren't as effective as one might hope and more often than not will still have you reaching for your gun. You have your typical swords, maces, bows, crossbows & hammers along with runes which allow for magical attacks. You aim where you want your weapons to hit and then you press the button to attack. Much like The Elder Scrolls games, it is handled in similar fashion to most first person games. Skeletons, orcs, goblin ice giants, giant spiders and fucking dinosaurs. Because as we all know the only thing that would have improved The Lord of The Rings is if Frodo rode into Mordor on the back of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.Ĭombat is enjoyable if repetitive. It's probably due to your ability to take numerous arrows to the chest as Ravensword has decided to wave the "high fantasy" flag.Īnd as is the case you'll have many high fantasy creatures to kill in your pursuit to save the world. Why you and not someone else is not really all that clear. You then learn that as the sole survivor of the attack - rather than having excellent health insurance - you are in fact the only one able to stop the inevitable destruction of the entire planet. Here you get to access the character creation screen, because apparently the monster in the previous section has stomped your face off entirely. Except for you of course.īut before you have a chance to say "well that was pointless", you wake up in bed, recovering from your injuries. You do battle with a few somethings before stumbling onto a bigger something before an even bigger something comes along to kill everyone. You can also block with a shield, which is nice, if entirely unnecessary. Here you learn the basic mechanics of the game: move around and attack. Though this is unsurprising given that this is a mobile game and we should be thankful for whatever we can get that isn't Fruit Ninja.Īfter you hit the start button, the game plops you sword and shield in hand to fight some monsters. Similar to its console brethren, it offers large sweeping vistas which you will soon discover are not quite as sweeping as you were led to believe just moments before. Ravensword: Shadowlands is a Western style role playing game in the vein of The Elder Scrolls only not quite as good.

There is the first story you encounter, a woman scientist (who I suspected right away as a villain due to her thick Russian accent) that was doing experiments with plant life on Mars and came across an organism that takes control of the plants and spreads like a virus. There are multiple storylines going on here and none of them really take center stage, which makes the overall story muddy and confusing. Would that have caused a death loop that broke the game? I was pretty far into the game, I don’t know how I would have felt being forced to start over. I wonder if I had died, would it have loaded me at the last checkpoint with the same amount of oxygen making it impossible to make the trek safely. I feel like any longer and I would have died. When I finally reached the rover, my oxygen was at 0% and my character was gasping for air and the screen was completely red. This actually happened to me twice throughout the game, where a checkpoint loaded me with barely enough oxygen to get me to my destination. Except, my oxygen level was at 9% when it still should have been near 70%. After some traversal of the Mars surface, I ended up falling off a rather large cliff to my death and loaded at a checkpoint near the halfway point to the rover. Before I left the space station, I filled up my oxygen tank and exited the hatch. Immediately after a chase sequence inside one of the space stations I was on the Mars surface trying to hurry to the rover. Speaking of air hoses, I did encounter one glitch in the game that almost broke it for me. After about the fifth flip of the cable and it still won’t fit, I would just stand there and accept my fate. I know if I was being chased by a tentacle monster on Mars I wouldn’t be calm, cool, and collected, I’d be swearing up a storm and then trying to connect two hoses together would be similar to fumbling with a USB port in the dark. This adds a lot of realism, and I really felt like the character was escaping for his life. After being chased by an enemy my character fumbled with the push button to open the escape hatch, and then as he refilled his air tank, he fumbled with connecting the hoses together. Most of these animations change slightly when Shane is in a tense situation. Throughout the six or so hours of the game you will perform countless menial tasks such as, filling a cup of coffee, turning a crank, pulling an energy cell in and out of an empty port, removing your helmet, and attaching a hose to an air tank to refill for a trek on the Mars surface. One area where Moons of Madness shines are the animations of your character Shane. There really is no payout for the storyline, and it seems more like filler to pad a short game. It’s a tried and true formula that has been redone countless times in movies and games, and its one aspect of the game that I wish was left out. If you didn’t think that the Orochi Group was hiding a more sinister plan in a secret facility then you haven’t played many games. You’ll spend most of the game on the Mars surface and in the hallways of the space station, but later in the game you will be lurking in the shadows of the secret facility miles below the Mars surface. It’s red, it’s cold, it’s dusty and there are mountains everywhere, but they switch up the setting enough that you never feel any of the backdrops outstay their welcome. There’s not much you can do with Mars as a setting. The puzzles are pretty clever and deliver some of the more memorable moments of the game for me.ĭeveloper Rock Pocket has crafted some great environments for Moons of Madness. Some of the more complicated puzzles involve mixing chemicals by using a centrifuge to create a toxin for an early on enemy. Some of the puzzles are pretty easy, one example is rotating solar panels to a certain power percentage to bring a remote base online. Early on you will get a wrist computer that you can use to scan and hack equipment to solve puzzles. There is no HUD to reference but you do have limited stamina and you’ll hear your character huff and puff when you run too long. There’s not much to talk about when it comes to gameplay, you have to move your character from point A to point B and can hold the left trigger to get there faster by sprinting. Let's find out if that mystery is a good or bad thing. It’s like Firewatch but set on Mars, but instead of a very engaging story that leaves you in the dark until the end, you get 3 different storylines that are never really the main focus, and in the end you are left wondering what happened. Moons of Madness is a first person story driven game that has small puzzle elements with a horror theme. Here are just some of the things you’ll learn in Head First HTML5 Programing: Learn how to make your pages truly interactive by using the power of the DOM. Head First HTML5 Programming is your ultimate tour guide to creating web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript, and we give you everything you need to know to build them, including: how to add interactivity to your pages, how to communicate with the world of Web services, and how to use the great new APIs being developed for HTML5. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience even better, you can create full blown web applications. If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but they’re still just pages. Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all aboutCSS style (presentation), but what you’ve been missing is JavaScript (behavior). And to speak this language you’ve got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs. Now we’ve got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML’s put on some major muscle. \u003cbr\u003e\nProfessionally, Eric recently ended nearly a decade as a media company \u003cbr\u003e\nexecutive-having held the position of CTO of Disney Online From what I've seen, the people who struggle most with LaTeX are overly concerned with how things look. LaTeX is a "What You See Is What You Mean" system rather than a "What You See Is What You Get" system. One of the main points of LaTeX is to separate what you see and what you say. If you are trying to take over typesetting, that's generally not a good idea. On the other hand, if your package just does those fancy cover pages, it's probably best to leave it as a package. However, for practical purposes for the rest of us, virtual fonts date from when Knuth. If you're package completely takes over the look and feel of the document such as producing a cover page (complete with the fancy company logo), an inside cover page, a signature page, strongly distinguishes between front matter, main matter, and back matter, and redefines things like \chapter and \section, then you might want to think about turning your package into a class. an example of this technique may be seen in ltxguide.cls. This is evinced by the \documentclass, followed by even more usepackage directives. Here is a sample screen shot of an example made using the class file. This package is still under development but it shows great progress. #TEXSHOP RES.CLS INSTALL#So I'm trying to install the res.cls class on my freshly installed MacTex 2015, for reference this. #TEXSHOP RES.CLS MAC#In fact, not 30 minutes ago, I successfully installed a class file on a different mac with, as far as I know, the exact same setup as me. The class comes with no documentation, but a worked example offers some guidance. Unable to install res.cls MaTex 2015, Yosemite, Texshop. You need to cut your teeth on writing packages (suffix=.sty) first.Ī LaTeX document (suffix=.tex) should have one and only one class. The class offers entries for assets and social networks customizable styles are provided. Using Terminal.app: Go to the MacTeX or TeX Live local directory.First things first: What makes you think you need to write your own LaTeX class (suffix=.cls)? Writing a LaTeX class is not an exercise for a novice. Many people try to solve this by copying and pasting Sweave.sty into every document directory, but I’m sharing a better way below. While Sweave.sty is a LaTeX package, it doesn’t live with the rest of the LaTeX packages because it’s installed using R. One common complaint that you’ll get after Sweaving a file is Sweave.sty not found!. However, Sweave doesn’t always work correctly. Needless to say, the marriage of statistics with documents makes writing up APA-style reports a bit easier, especially with Brian Beitzel’s amazing apa6 class for LaTeX. This enables accurate, shareable analyses as well as high-resolution graphs that are publication quality. (The LaTeX source for the other lectures can also be found in the lec02, lec03. As an example, the scribe notes for the first lecture are located here.

I wanted to confirm the VPI, VCI settings, channel mode, MTU, etc… Poor guy had no idea what I was talking about. I was asking for the settings I needed to configure my Tenda modem router. At this point, I was ready to bust out my spare Tenda modem router. The PLDT tech support rep didn’t even know what to call the 192.168.1.1 thing (usually called the web-based router set up / configuration page). He asked me to call back after an hour.Īfter an hour, I called 172 again, this time explaining everything that was wrong with the modem router. I called 172 again but the rep told me that their systems were down and they can’t access any information. I tried restarting the modem router and was still getting the same problem. Okay.Īround midnight, the Internet light turned GREEN. I wanted to use my spare Tenda modem router instead but the tech told me that they needed the PDLT-branded modem router to be kept on so that they can do diagnostics. The Internet light also turned RED, so I think there was also a problem with the line itself at the same time. I reported the problem and I was told that it could be a line issue. On my third attempt to call 172, I asked the rep to please not drop the call. Even in this current situation, it happened 2 out of 5 times. It has happened often enough to actually make me wonder if this is a common trick employed by some dishonest agents. Now that I think about it, I remember that my calls were also being dropped once or twice during previous times when I called 172 with broadband issues. #Beebeep car verification#After account verification and in the middle of explaining the problem with my PLDT modem router, my calls get dropped. I was very nice, calm and normal, except that I knew what I was talking about and told them step by step all the troubleshooting steps that I did. And before you think it was because I sounded mean, I wasn’t. I don’t know if it was a technical problem where PLDT’s system was dropping calls, or if the reps were dropping the calls on purpose. Well, 5 times if you count the first 2 times my call was dropped. I called PLDT’s Broadband Repair hotline 172 three times yesterday. PLDT Broadband Repair 172 Technical Support Experience Besides, the DSL and the Internet light on the modem router were both green. If it was a line problem, I would still be able to connect to the wifi and my gadgets would just say “No Internet Access” or “Limited Connectivity”. I suspected it was a modem router problem and not a PLDT DSL line problem because I was not able to connect to the wifi at all when the modem router hangs. So I finally called PLDT to get the modem router replaced (it’s within warranty, and we’ve been a PLDT DSL subscriber for years and years). Restarting it, usually doing a “power cycle” where I disconnect the power from the modem router, wait for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it back on, used to fix the problem for a few days but yesterday, even that solution stopped working.Īfter the modem was turned on and did its thing, I would be able to connect to the internet for about a minute until it hangs. I noticed that it would “hang” – WIFI connections to the router would drop and the lights on the modem router would stay steady when they should be blinking.

Not sure if there’s a way to make them to work, or I will need to look for some other solutions. I guess they did a good job cloning the whole thing… They looked legit with the proper Sony packaging and labeling on them. I didn’t want to get some used PS3 controllers for my son and myself, so I got those new ones on ebay. Well, I found that my new “Sony” brand PS3 controllers are some SHAWAN clones as Den Orlov mentioned.

One can expect it to be good in zones 8-11, and probably marginal in zones 7A and 7B. Based on past experience, it should be at least as cold and heat tolerant as its parentage. Because it is a new introduction, at this time its cold hardiness and heat tolerance is unknown. They are crinkly like Dino Tree Collards, but much wider and less linear. Leaves can get up to 1 1/2 feet long and are a stunning blue-green color with a hint of pink/purple in the stems. Purple Tree Collards rarely set seed, so they are rare to find for sale. We recommend planting them as you would any other kale or brassica seed. These seeds were harvested in 2021 and germinated over 90 in nursery trials. They turn darker purple tones in cool months and are lighter green in warm months. Tree collards are a perennial collard that can grow 3-12 feet tall, forming a tall shrub with a woody stalk. They can get over eight feet in height and will continue to grow and produce year after year. acephala (aka Purple Tree Kale or Purple Tree Cabbage) are a perennial vegetable related to collard greens. Once Big Blue reaches 2-3 feet in height, it would be best tied to a sturdy stake as it can be top heavy in storms and high winds. Purple Tree Collards, Brassica oleracea var. But cold snaps do happen that push the temperature colder than purple tree collards would like. Within the first year or two, wide stalks 1-2 inches in diameter can form. Big Blue gets between 3 and 8 feet in height, and appears to naturally branch into a mid-sized shrub form. It is a naturally occurring garden hybrid from the Berkeley Farm that appears to be a cross between the Merritt Tree Collard, Dino Tree Collard, and maybe even Purple Tree Collard. One can expect it to be good in zones 8-11, and probably marginal in zones 7A and 7B.īig Blue Tree Collards are a 2020 introduction and extremely limited perennial tree collard. It doesn’t not appear to be a big bloomer which means it is much more productive through the spring than some other tree collards. COLLARDS, Purple Tree Perennial (60 days) Brassica oleracea A unique perennial vegetable that was brought to the USA by enslaved African people and has been. They are smooth like annual collards, but much larger. Leaves can get up to 2 feet long and are a bright to medium green color with lighter stems.
