![]() "The film sword had the vine details as a vinyl transfer. Here's the entirety of it spliced together. I exchanged a couple of emails with Peter (Lyon) about it. The "Screen accurate" version by Peter: (photo ghettodactyl ) Peter took what was a world class hero sword in 2001 and improved it considerably in 2012. The embossed version preferred by Peter: OR as the Weta page says " This is Sting the way the swordsmiths of the lost realm of Gondolin would have made it. Still, everything else should be to the dot. But I don't think this version is exactly screen accurate since it doesn't have the uneven vine pattern. The Peter Lyon preferred version with the raised/embossed vines OR the "screen accurate" version with flat vines that ghettodactyl showed. The Elven letters on the blade are raised, not etched/carved.ġ) Master Swordsmith Collection (MSSC) StingĬomes in 2 variations. Original Sting prop has an uneven pattern of the vines in the grip which are neither too shiny nor dull, but a matte Silver. The 'Made in Taiwan' stamp also serves to confirm this as one of the last runs made there because even before the bankruptcy, UC was already switching much of their production to China. ![]() The brown box in those photos marks the fourth iteration of the LOTR Sting. I wouldn't call those 'updated designs' by any stretch of the imagination though.Īs Buckeye noted, yes, the weathering on the vines is intentional. If you are talking about about differences within the LOTR version itself, then there probably are minor variations as this sword has now been in production for nearly 20 years and has changed factories more than once. You can see that in the comparison photos posted on the previous page. There is a marked difference between the vine design of the LOTR and the Hobbit versions. Can I also get confirmation that the weathering on the vines is intentional?Sorry, I'm not really understanding where the confusion is. the sword design seems to indicate that the vines have been spaced out according to the Hobbit Sting design? The metal fittings on the Hobbit version also lack the scrollwork, which like the blade runes, are assumed to have been added after Bilbo returned from Erebor.īut if UC haven't ever updated their design of LOTR Sting then how have I been sent this picture from a reputable UK supplier (see photos of the boxes) i.e. UC also made two scabbards, the original one for the LOTR version which is covered in a reddish suede, and the Hobbit version, which is dark brown leather. So, when speaking strictly of United's versions, there are three: misalignment of the curved line etching on the blade (as I noted in another post, I believe this to be an unintentional continuity error and am unsure if the actual prop had this problem as well) ![]() slightly different spacing of the vine design on the hilt This is is what leads to some confusion because though UC has changed packaging several times throughout the years, the sword inside has remained the same with the only alteration I'm aware of being the production date stamped on the New Line Cinema etching on the blade.Īfter the Hobbit movies were released, UC put out a new version of Sting to replicate the one seen in those movies. It was United's first ever released LOTR replica, and has been in constant production since around 2002. When I say "normal" United Cutlery version, yes, I mean the original, non-Museum Collection release of Sting. den Bestellverlauf des Amazon Store), besuche bitte unsere Datenschutzerklärung.There is also the MR Light-up Sting and the NC Actor-scale Sting, but we'll leave those out.

![]() It’s a pretty fun mechanic, and while some may feel like this addition slows down the combat slightly I find that by the time you start to tire of this new function, you start to find more powerful weaponry, and the need to melee most enemies dissipates.Īnd once you do start to get all of those awesome weapons and upgrades, that feeling of running through levels like a badass, blasting enemies and jumping over hazards that feeling that’s been missing from Metroid for so long, begins to come back. When enemies attack, they quickly flash at which point the player can use a timed press of X to counter, usually stunning the attacking enemy. Additionally, in a first for the series a melee attack has been added linked to the game’s new counter-attack system. In fact, they can now free aim by holding the L button and rotating the analogue stick. No longer limited to basic cardinal aiming directions, the player is now able to aim with full analogue precision. Yet it is how Samus controls that is possibly the biggest triumph of this remake. Additionally, the planet is littered with Teleport Stations that, when discovered can be used to make backtracking a much less laborious process. However, whilst the majority of Metroid II’s pickups could originally be mopped up the first time you’re in their Area Samus Returns adds the exploration that was sorely missing from the original version. The narrative is the same Samus is tasked with ridding the Metroid’s from existence by raiding their home planet of SR388.Īs for Return of Samus’ more linear, area-based structure, that too is retained. As a remake, it’s unrecognisable yet the original game is there underneath. Additionally, the game also makes use of the 3DS’s stereoscopic display to create some real depth with the more detailed backgrounds. What we have here is a title that casts away the shackles of a sprite-based, 8-bit game displaying on a 160×144 pixel display, to a more modern 2D game with 3D models. Jointly developed between MercurySteam and Nintendo’s own EPD studio, Samus Returns’ release in 2016 was the first 2D game in the series since 2004’s Zero Mission. MercurySteam had expressed a desire to remake Metroid Fusion, but Sakamoto had a better idea – Remake the Game Boy’s Metroid II an incredibly important game to Metroid’s overarching narrative, but one that was limited by the system it resided on. However, following a studio visit by Metroid co-creator, Yoshio Sakamoto, MercurySteam would be given the keys to another fallen franchise Metroid. After this setback, Castlevania would once again disappear into the shadows, following this failure. Lords of Shadow 2 would appear in 2014, to mixed reviews with the game failing to match the original reboot. In 2013, the studio would follow this up with Mirror of Fate on the Nintendo 3DS, and later on home consoles, a side-scrolling adventure not unlike the Metroid series, adopting the Metroidvania mechanics that had been a part of the series since Symphony of The Night. With that game’s post-credits sequence providing a shockingly good twist, I certainly wanted more. Lords of Shadow was a game I was rather fond of at the time, and definitely put this developer on my list of studios to watch out for, as the game received glowing reviews upon its 2010 release. A mostly unknown studio named MercurySteam, with some input from Kojima Productions, was charged by Konami to reboot Castlevania for a new generation. But, in a parallel to Metroid, Retro Studios and the Prime Trilogy once again a Japanese publisher looked to foreign shores to revitalise the Belmont’s fortunes. Whilst finding itself a wonderful little niche on handhelds like the GBA and Nintendo DS, this particular series was also finding itself to be in a bit of a funk. Ironically, the same was rather true of a similar series Castlevania. It felt like a repeat of the N64 days, as fans clambered for a new entry that Nintendo just wasn’t going to give them. Once the Prime series had completed and Retro Studios moved on to other things, it felt that the Metroid franchise was beginning to hibernate and take a bit of a back seat. Is it me, or does it really feel like the last few episodes have been a bit of a downer? Don’t blame me of course, for the Metroid series took quite a bit of a downturn for a while.

One purchase entitles you to use MovieMaker on all of your computers. MovieMaker is DRM-free, includes free updates and you'll never have to worry about losing a serial number (because there aren't any!). With MovieMaker for Mac OS X you can quickly turn 1000s of captured images into a speedy video that you can review or share - with just a couple clicks. And a lot more.ĭo you have a "nanny cam" or outdoor security camera that captures pictures when it senses motion? Managing and reviewing those pictures can be time-consuming and error-prone. Take all of your photos from that recent vacation or just all of your pictures from this past year and quickly turn them into a movie filled with memories that you can share with friends. You have nothing to lose if you want to give the free demo version of MovieMaker a try, but its deeper options are too fiddly and its function too limited to really recommend. MovieMaker sells itself as a way to show holiday pics, easily display security footage, or show a nanny cam, but I see no real use case for any of these unless you REALLY need to share the images with someone, at which point this does offer a small file size. A folder can be set to show images as a slide show, and the video does not provide enough options to expand on this. The thing is, I am not sure what this program is really for. There are also a host of more technical options allowing that let you select the format of movie you want and the codec it will be rendered in. You can select how many frames you want the video to last, how long individual images will be displayed, and the resolution for before you render the video for play. MovieMaker does have some handy features before you render the final movie. Indeed, I found it easier to reorder / re-tag images in the original folder rather than trying to edit once in MovieMaker. Unfortunately, the complexity of this actively discourages you from experimenting. There are some complicated controls to help manage this if you want to make some changes to the default movie (a splash screen filled with hot-key commands is on hand to help with this). ![]() If you want the background picture removed on every slide, select Apply to All.

Earlier in many cases.Īny auto parts store should have a 12 volt test light for automotive circuit testing for $4 or less, so just buy one. Static timing (other than to get it close enough to start) died for good in 1971 when VW went to a distributors that had a centrifical advance component. You can make a static timing light with any 12 volt bulb, a golder and two test leads. Then you will have a tester for other electrical diagnostic work on your car as well, no need to build one. A 12v test light can be used for static timing and can be had very cheap at your FLAPS. Static timing is a rough timing method used to get the car running, then a strobe type timing light is used to fine tune it to the proper setting. Timing with static light can burn up the heads from what I have been told by experienced VW mechanics.right or wrong? correct me if I am wrong but the timing should really be set with a timing light, not the static type. :: View topic - Static timing light Forumsįorum Index -> Beetle - Late Model/Super - 1968-up -> Static timing lightĭoes anybody have a good design for a home-made cheap static timing light (that that seen in the Muir book)? ![]() And right now, I'm driving something that looks like an orange Dodge Neon with no garage. ![]() You have to earn money through missions and races just to get things like ammunition or even a place to park your car.

Is there a way to check what track is playing? or do i just have to cycle through all the radio stations until i get back to the one i'm on? Is this the first GTA in a long time where the minigames seem like they'll be worth playing in their own right? I played 9 holes of golf yesterday-aside from the fact that there's only those 9 holes to play, it's just as deep and satisfying as playing Tiger Woods- more kinda since you can walk from shot to shot, something I've always wanted to do in a golf game- and you can beat freak out after you miss a two-foot putt and beat your golf club against a tree or pour gas all over the green and set it on fire, a mechanic conspicuously absent from most golfing video games Yeah pretty sure there's a sandbox mode when MP starts up- but the whole map is unlocked right from the beginning, and you don't have to play that much for all the minigames to get unlocked. Is there a cheat code to skip all the story bullshit and have everything unlocked so i can do the fun part of the game? but yeah not so much looking forward to going back to playing as 2d 'moral core of the game' franklin and frustrated dad 101 michael. v grim.įinally got to trevor and agree he's so much more fun to play than the other whiney two characters - esp driving over vast desert landscape, these parts remind me a bit of red dead redemption. makes the whole thing unpleasant, esp as it didn't have to be like this - this could have been the game where they turned it all around but instead they kept on aiming it at the late-teen male. don't think i've encountered any female character yet who isn't obsessed with sex/money/crack. doesn't seem to even be a zoom function where you can see the target and crosshair better - i've been playing sc:blacklist a ton lately and the shooting/aiming system in that is perfect so this is kinda frustrating. whole system seems crappy, the shooting range missions aren't enjoyable in any way because using this tiny pad to aim a tiny crosshair means it veers all over the place. much more difficult when trying to shoot from vehicles, gta4 was bad for this but this is daft.

All the great races they had in VC, and hidden checkpoint races. How about some infinite ammo you sucks?Īnd the stadium missions too, fucking loved that kiststart type mission from VC and SA. In fact, there was no reward for finding all the hidden pigeons, and no reward for 100% completion either. Vigilante was good though, but there was no reward for completing it, wtf? Another aspect i miss, that didn't appear in gtaiv, i know some people hated this shit (and personally pizza deliveries mission was waaaay too long and boring) but it would be nice if they had been included in IV at least changed to remain interesting. ![]() Additionally, you can explore browser extensions and standalone Flash player applications that emulate the Flash environment, allowing you to run older Flash content. Many game developers and enthusiasts have transitioned Flash games to ensure they remain playable. One option is to look for websites and platforms that have converted Flash games to modern formats like HTML5. To play Adobe Flash games without Flash, you can use emulators and alternative technologies. How can I play Adobe Flash games without Flash? You can easily check through the configuration options of the browser you use on a daily basis. How do I know if I already have Adobe Flash Player? Responsive design ensured multimedia content adapted to various devices, further reducing Flash's necessity. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) offered native app-like experiences without Flash, and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) improved media delivery efficiency. Media Source Extensions (MSE) allowed adaptive streaming and dynamic media playback directly in browsers. WebGL enabled 3D graphics rendering in browsers, while WebAssembly provided near-native performance for web applications without the need for plugins. ![]() With the advent of libraries and frameworks like jQuery, React, and Angular, developers could create highly interactive web applications without Flash. JavaScript, a core web programming language, played a pivotal role in replacing Flash for interactivity. Additionally, CSS3 brought advanced animations and transitions directly into web pages, reducing reliance on Flash for visual effects. HTML5, a major revision of the HTML standard, introduced native support for multimedia elements like video and audio, eliminating the need for Flash for media playback. What replaced Adobe Flash Player?Īdobe Flash Player has been largely replaced by a combination of modern web technologies and standards that have ushered in a new era of safer, more efficient, and versatile multimedia content on the web. Modern web standards have taken its place and offer us a safer and more efficient experience, both for users and developers. Finally, Adobe made the decision to discontinue Flash Player as of December 31, 2020. This caused the main web browsers to stop supporting Flash by default. Over the years, the evolution of web standards and the emergence of technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript offered safer and more efficient alternatives for playing multimedia content. Its vulnerabilities allowed many systems to be infected with malware and its use became increasingly questioned. Lack of securityįor a long time, Adobe Flash Player became the center of criticism due to its lack of security. Nevertheless, current browsers will not allow you to play Flash content. However, it is very likely that websites will ask you to activate it manually as it is not active by default. It also used to work on the most popular browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc. ![]() Requirements to run Adobe Flash PlayerĪdobe Flash Player is still compatible with older versions of Windows (it stopped being compatible from Windows 10 onwards). In addition, its applications can be very varied: from simple banners to very complete web experiences. ![]() With Adobe Flash Player, graphics can be designed and easily animated. It was also widely used to create small complete games that could be run from the browser, something very innovative at that time. In fact, its use in the 2000s was imperative, as the vast majority of websites did not work without it. Adobe Flash Player was an essential application that was part of browsers and was used to play multimedia content. ![]() Classic sociological theories are still considered important and current, but new sociological theories build upon the work of their predecessors and add to them (Calhoun 2002). Sociological theory is constantly evolving and should never be considered complete. Grand theories attempt to explain large-scale relationships and answer fundamental questions such as why societies form and why they change. Macro-level theories relate to large-scale issues and large groups of people, while micro-level theories look at very specific relationships between individuals or small groups. Theories vary in scope depending on the scale of the issues that they are meant to explain. Protestants were more likely to commit suicide than Catholics in Durkheim’s society, and his work supports the utility of theory in sociological research. Durkheim gathered a large amount of data about Europeans who had ended their lives, and he did indeed find differences based on religion. His studied social ties within a group, or social solidarity, and hypothesized that differences in suicide rates might be explained by religion-based differences. ![]() In sociology, a theory is a way to explain different aspects of social interactions and to create a testable proposition, called a hypothesis, about society (Allan 2006).įor example, although suicide is generally considered an individual phenomenon, Émile Durkheim was interested in studying the social factors that affect it. Sociologists study social events, interactions, and patterns, and they develop a theory in an attempt to explain why things work as they do. Sociologists develop theories to explain social occurrences such as protest rallies. ![]() I went to the App store looking for a program that would convert SVG files.
