Sonic colors wii review11/30/2022 ![]() ![]() Dispersed throughout the levels are short term abilities granted to Sonic, which can be used to find new pathways, hidden items, or used to zip through parts of levels.Ībilities are granted to Sonic by an alien lifeform known as Wisps, which are being hunted by series antagonist, Dr Eggman, who wants to use their powers for his own dastardly plans. A good starting point is to applaud Sonic Team for taking the series back to basics, with Sonic being the only playable character, whose mission is to race to the end goal. Re-reading Cubed3's original review sums up the core gameplay mechanics that made the later so great in the first place. Confined to Nintendo Wii for over 10 years, this has now been resurrected for modern platforms, but has Sonic Colours aged as well as everyone fondly remembers?įundamentally Sonic Colours: Ultimate is the same game as the 2010 release of Sonic Colours on Wii. That is why when Sonic Colours launched on Wii it was a momentous occasion, as it took the fun 3D gameplay of Sonic Unleashed, and also put Sonic back into the 2D side-scrolling plane to introduce new puzzles. Unleashed faced its fair share of criticism but was praised for a subsection of the daytime levels. A couple of years later, Sonic Team would come out with Sonic Unleashed, introducing the boost mechanic to the 3D realm, something that Sonic Rush did incredibly well in 2D on Nintendo DS. SEGA's later attempts to continue to bring Sonic into 3D continued to miss the mark, and the 2006 entry, Sonic the Hedgehog, colloquially titled Sonic '06 by fans, was the lowest point in the franchise. However, despite this, the gameplay was mostly deeply flawed, filled with bugs and a 3D camera that had a few kinks in the system. Nonetheless, the fandom had an affinity with the Sonic Adventure series, maybe due to the legendary soundtrack, exuberant attitude, and cast of characters. It is no secret that Sonic the Hedgehog struggled to find his feet during the 2000s, and the transition to 3D was not as smooth as Nintendo's mascot plumber. ![]() Kingsoft office 2014 free11/30/2022 ![]() ![]() In this post, I’ll examine some of the most widely-used free alternatives to Microsoft Office these systems will reduce your software expenditure, keep you productive and still allow you to collaborate with clients, colleagues and opposing counsel who use Microsoft Office. In fact, there are a number of alternatives that are available, and that offer similar features. Įven so, the new Microsoft Office is widely viewed as the gold standard for office productivity suites but, it’s not the only solution. You could just upgrade to Microsoft Office 2013 ($399.99 or $219.99 for the ‘Home & Business’ version, for one license), or Office 365 ($12.50/user/month for the ‘Small Business Premium’ version, for offices with 1-10 employees,) but, in addition to the costs associated with these versions of Office, you’ll need to adjust to the changes from 2003, which include the move from a drop down menu-driven interface to a ribbon-style interface, that Microsoft first introduced in Office 2007, and that has drawn mixed reviews, including from IT professionals. But, if you’re presently using Microsoft Office 2003, you need to face the reality that after April 8, 2014, your continuing use of the program will become a significant security risk to your business, because Microsoft will stop providing security patches and support for the program. While many lawyers, myself included, would argue that WordPerfect, with its ‘reveal codes’ functionality and other rich document formatting features, is still one of the best word processing programs available, most businesses, including law firms, now use Microsoft Word, for better or worse. ![]() WordPerfect was the drafting tool of choice and Microsoft Word was the new kid on the block, rather than the standard bearer. We let our accounting departments handle spreadsheets, and hired marketing professionals to put together presentations. When I first became an attorney, most lawyers were only using their computers for word processing. So, in this follow-up to my original post, I’ll discuss some free alternatives to Microsoft Office 2003. It is important to keep in mind, however, that, in addition to the end of extended support for Windows XP, Microsoft will also be terminating extended support for Microsoft Office 2003 on that Apdate. In a recent guest post for the LOMAP Blog, I wrote about the approaching end of extended support for Microsoft Windows XP, and the various alternatives available. Don’t worry, though, he’s got some alternative options for you, which he relays below. Jeff may be reached via email at Last time, Jeff covered for us the sunsetting of extended support for Microsoft Windows XP this time around, he reminds us that extended support is also coming to an end for Microsoft Office 2003.

The first chart shows Final Cut Pro performance, comparing the MacBook Pro against the iMac: Obviously, in this context, shorter bars mean better performance. Each time is the average of at least three consecutive runs of every render, export, or stabilization run, with outliers thrown out if the system happened to glitch. You can see the full results of our testing in the graphs below. Unfortunately, we didn't have an AMD laptop on hand to see how a Ryzen CPU or Radeon GPU would have fared compared to the Intel, Apple Silicon, and NVIDIA hardware tested here, but stay tuned because we have more head-to-head comparisons and computer reviews planned for the coming months. It was important to include a high-powered Windows machine with an NVIDIA GPU in order to demonstrate the benefits of CUDA hardware acceleration When set to 'Software Only' encoding, you can expect these same exports and renders to take a brutal 3x to 5x longer. In fact, it's the RTX 3080 laptop GPU inside the Razer Blade that really turned this head-to-head into a fair fight. Obviously we couldn't run the Final Cut tests on the Razer laptop, but we felt it was important to include a high-powered Windows machine with an NVIDIA GPU in order to demonstrate the benefits of CUDA hardware acceleration in Premiere Pro. Specs were essentially maxed out on all three machines (see below), and each computer was fully charged and/or plugged in, with no other programs running in the background to take up memory, CPU, or GPU resources. ![]() Match Sequence Settings in Premiere), since Final Cut will use the rendered previews by default.Īll 5 tests were run on 3 different computers: a 13-inch Intel MacBook Pro, a 24-inch M1 iMac, and a Razer Blade 15 Advanced. Previews were rendered with identical settings in both programs, and 'Use Previews' was checked when exporting the master file (i.e. ![]() To keep things as even as possible, all Final Cut Pro exports were done at 'Better Quality' and all Premiere Pro exports were configured to match the bitrate of the Final Cut File using VBR 1-pass encoding. Similarly, previews for this piece were set by default to 4K ProRes 4:2:2 in Final Cut's Project Settings, with no option to change the resolution of your previews without changing the resolution of the entire project/timeline or going through the additional step of generating proxy media. We took 8K footage from a Sony a1, compiled it into two identical timelines with identical effects, scoured the settings to ensure everything was identical, and ran both of these video editors through the same battery of tests. It makes only a slight difference in total bitrate, and may be similar to Premiere Pro's option for CBR vs VBR 1-pass vs VBR 2-pass encoding, but we have no way of knowing for sure. For example, the difference between H.264 'Faster Encode' and H.264 'Higher Quality' isn't explained anywhere in Apple's documentation. Note: preview codec, target bitrates, and other settings in Adobe Premiere Pro were based on analyzing the Final Cut Pro files.Ĭoming up with tests that were close to identical was tricky because Final Cut Pro gives you less control over how and what you can render and export unless you also buy Apple's Compressor software. So we took an 8K project filmed on the Sony a1, compiled it into two identical 4K timelines with identical effects, scoured the settings to ensure everything was as similar as reasonably possible, and then ran both of these video editors through the same battery of tests. Pure performance, on the other hand, is measurable. How quickly you can edit a video from start to finish in either Premiere Pro or Final Cut is largely a matter of personal preference and familiarity with each application's quirks. Tests | Computers | Results | Key takeaways | Final thoughts But for all the head-to-head editing shootouts and 'why I switched' anecdotes from disgruntled Adobe and/or Apple users, what matters in the end is raw performance. They both have 'Pro' in the name, so according to Apple nomenclature rules they should both be excellent. But among video editors, especially the ones on YouTube, one scuffle comes up more than any other: Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro? ![]() Crunchy peanut butter or smooth? (Smooth).

After each battle, all characters, including those who may have been knocked out, are restored to full health. The player can also swap the current party with the reserve at any time. Once a turn is used, the player has to wait for some time until the next turn begins. ![]() The commands have different color tags and have different impacts, including healing the team (pink), providing status buffs (white), single-target attacks (orange), area attacks (red), poisonous attacks (green), and possible instant-kill attacks (black), among others. For each turn, the player is given choices for each character and must choose one of their three commands, which differ depending on the characters. The battles consist of turn-based random encounters, with several boss battles. Upon defeating an enemy, the player will gain experience points and "Faz Tokens", which are used to buy upgrades such as "chips" and "bytes" to aid the player during the game. Many enemy characters can be found throughout the game, each exclusive to their own area, which can be battled with. Initially, the world was depicted in a 2D Atari-like style, but as of Version 1.2 released in May 2016, the world has been redesigned into that of a pre-rendered 3D style. Once new areas are revealed and a special button is pressed in them, the player can use "jumping" to teleport between each area through an overworld map. The gameplay consists of exploring through the game world and accessing new areas. These tips frequently break the fourth wall due to Fredbear's seeming awareness of the situation he is placed in. Along the way, a character known as Fredbear will give the player tips on what to do next. As the player continues, they collect more characters to place in their party, with there being 40 characters available in total from across the first four games. The starter characters, the original and toy versions of the first main games characters, can all be swapped in and out of the party. The player starts by choosing two parties consisting of four characters each. The game also has two difficulty levels to choose from, Normal and Hard. The player has two modes to play in: Adventure and Fixed Party. ![]() Wow tbc 2.4.3 warrior pvp itemization11/26/2022 ![]() ![]() Depleting 3 shreds for 42 Energy for 2700 damage per crit within 4 seconds is simply amazing burst.

A nice thread about feral druids and arena play has some choice tidbits, like this one from Leleth: :)īut you might find some really great info over at Elitist Jerk's PvP Forum. Any gear suggestions would also be welcome. I know that one quick upgrade I need to do is to get the PvP trinket, but I am not sure if there is a better focus I should look for in gear. Basically, I used most of my best hybrid feral gear (T4 hat, gloves, shoulders, Tree Mender's Belt, etc) with the +40 intellect trinket from Karazhan (for mana in case I need more for shifting or hitting Tranquility). I logged out with the PvP gearset that I had imagined, but it appears it hasn't updated just yet. ![]() Does anyone here have experience with their Druid in such a role? Do you think that there is a better role for a Druid? What are some tricks of the trade that you guys have picked up for playing a Druid in PvP?įor reference, here's the profile for my Druid. I would be very interested to hear from some of you other Druids (I know there are several out there) that have done some post-TBC arena PvP. So what should I do and what type of gear to look for? I am imagining that it would probably be best to throw on my feral gear and try to help DPS things down and also shift out to use Cyclone for added disruption. I am in group with two other healers, so it is not really necessary that I focus on healing. I have recently found a group of friends to do 5v5 PvP with and I am at a loss as to what would be best to do, as a Druid. However, post-TBC PvP seems entirely different. I usually used a somewhat hybrid set of gear and employed hybrid tactics to try and cause as much disruption and healing as possible in those battlegrounds. As such, I got used to playing primarily as a healer (despite my feral-heavy build because people never seem to heal well in PUGs) with the occasional burst of DPS or tanking (flag carrying in WSG). Most of my experience is with Arathi Basin, WSG and Alterac Valley in primarily PUG groups. Pre-TBC, I did some PvP on my Druid, Liska, but post-TBC I have not done as much. ![]() Load pgn chess11/20/2022 ![]() ![]() The viewer also has nullmove support, the pgn for nullmoves should look like this: For recording you can alternatively click on the king and then on the rook, when you want to castle.

Is the shapeless, structureless Baked Alaska that droops and slumps and collapses while you eat it, or don’t eat it, supposed to be a representation in sugar and eggs of the experience of going insane?” Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?” “Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste?. “When you cruise around the country for your show ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,’ rasping out slangy odes to the unfancy places where Americans like to get down and greasy, do you really mean it?” It was less a review than a series of mean, pointed questions directed to the man himself: This review raised valid concerns about the restaurant’s poor quality and overambitious size, but what stuck with me was the sneer of it. I had no room for anything else.Ģ012 was also the year that Pete Wells’ famous New York Times review of Guy Fieri’s Times Square restaurant, Guy’s American, was published. He’d reduced the dimensions of my world to his height and weight. But at the time, as I squirmed and sobbed and begged him to please-please-please drop it, as I tried to walk away only to have my exit blocked at every turn, he was all I could see. How dull, to be mistreated in so predictable a way how dull I must have been to fall for it. His movie-villain behavior embarrasses me now.

I’d already missed it four times that month and was in danger of being kicked out of school, which would have forced us into a move we couldn’t afford. įinally, I had to beg him to let me attend my class. He simply preferred everything, including food, to be done correctly. But he resisted my claims that this made him a snob. He preferred rare steak, caviar could never resist a menu item whose cost was “Market Price.” In bars, he ordered top-shelf liquors, neat. My husband, a finicky eater, may not have liked frozen Texas Toast no matter what I’d done. I was still in college and had an evening class I needed to catch, but now I had a crime to answer for. Why must all my cooking be so sloppy? Did I intend to poison him? No? Then why did I insist on disappointing him? Instead, he said, “Your carelessness is unfortunate.” He then interrogated me for three hours about why I’d prepared these Toasts the way I had, the mistakes I had made. It was rarely my husband’s style to hit or scream. Inadequately, as it happens the edges of these Toasts were crisp and hot, but the middles were still damp the frost on them had melted and left them chilly. At the heart of this meal was a pair of frozen Texas Toasts, which I’d heated in the oven.
