![]() This is damn annoying if your trying to creep around avoiding the cops, or just out for a gentle cruise. There's an auto-handbrake feature that comes on below about 20mph. I usually use a steering wheel for driving games, but sometimes I can't be bothered to set it up so it's nice to know there's a decent alternative. The keyboard controls are very responsive, and make it real easy to drive the car with them. They're pretty good at taking you out too, trying to box you in with 3 cars or ramming you head on with an SUV (which I've still to identify 'cause I only ever see it from the side for split-second as I swerve out of its way.) A good pursuit can easily last 20 or 30 minutes or more, but as it goes on, your 'heat' level rises and the the cops get more and more aggressive. Sure, you have to work at it at first, but once you get one cop on your tail more will join in as you keep breaking the law. The best feature of the cruise mode is the ability to start a pursuit. In cruise mode you can reach all the actual game features like races and challenges which is a nice touch, although you can just use the menu in your garage if you prefer. Kept wanting to get out and walk about GTA style. The city is well set out and quite believable, and it can be cool just driving around and admiring it. I wont spoil the details for you, but I was quite impressed with the depth of the plot (again, for an arcade racer.) Anyway, it takes about 15 minutes or so to go through the various cut-scenes and 3 races, which all must be won, before you actually get to the game proper. There's a pretty compelling storyline (for an arcade racer). You can keep your car looking completely stock if you want to. You can also mod your cars with a really wide range of body parts, but (and here's the best bit) - you don't have to. Each car be modded with a wide range of performance parts, which you have to unlock as you progress through the game. And best of all - no Hondas (unlike Juiced which had about a dozen too many). 32 to choose from is a decent choice, all the way from a Fiat Punto to Porsche GT2, including some NFS classics along the way like the Toyota Supra and Dodge Viper. Can't comment on the music, 'cause I turn off at the first opportunity. And with the levels up high, the vibrations from my sub-woofer really adds to the sensation - although I have to wait for my wife to go out shopping to try that. The cars all have deep, throaty roars, accompanied by appropriate shifting, braking, squealing and crashing noises. Needs a fairly hefty PC, but these days most games do It's certainly looks better than any other race game I've played in a while. There's a nice motion blur too, kinda like San Andreas, but much better done. There's also a real sense of speed too - 150mph through town feels really bloody fast (until I crash). The car models are damn near perfect and the scenery looks superb as you flashing by it (or through it). ![]() Where to start? Well, firstly, it looks amazing.

More than 18,000 same-sex couples since then have wed in Massachusetts, according to MassEquality, an advocacy group for gays, bisexuals and transgender people.'I should have come out a little earlier,' Frank said, citing one of his few regrets in a six-decade political career In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state in the country where same-sex couples could be legally married.

The ruling on the 1996 law, the Defense of Marriage Act, marked a victory for gay rights groups and President Obama, whose administration announced last year it considered the law unconstitutional and would no longer defend it.Īlso in May, President Obama openly endorsed gay marriage, a move that will surely be a flashpoint in the upcoming presidential election. law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman unconstitutionally denies benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples.

It really kind of took hold and almost wrote itself. I was really just along for the ride with this book, you know. It became so much more than I'd originally intended, and I'm so glad that it did. It's also a, you know, very tentative little love story as well - Charlie falls in love for the first time, very nervously and very badly. And instead, it became a book about coming of age but it also… addressed themes of, uh, the nature of friendship and the nature of towns' secrets and myths and traditions and how they're allowed to flourish. When Jasper doesn't reappear from the water, Charlie dives in, pulling his friend from the dark waters and back to safety.I set out to write an Australian gothic mystery novel, but it soon became so much more than that once the characters developed and the story unfurled for me. Jasper, racked with anger and despair, dives into the river. Holding a letter from her sister, Charlie and Jasper learn what happened to Laura: her death was a suicide due to her father, a respected town leader, molesting her for years. Jasper's father, with whom he has little contact, kept this secret from Jasper to punish Jack for accidentally killing his wife Rosie in a car crash years ago.Ĭharlie, determined now to tell Eliza what happened to her sister, takes her to the secret glade, but finds that Eliza already knows the truth. What they discover is astonishing: Mad Jack is not the killer and he reveals instead a little-known secret about Jasper's parentage - he is Jasper's grandfather. The night of the town's New Year Fair, Charlie and Jasper decide it is time to act and confront Mad Jack. But their newfound cheer is stripped away when racist locals vandalise Jeffrey's family home. In town, things are beginning to look up after Jeffrey, previously bullied and excluded, helps the local junior cricket team win against their archrivals. Jasper is pleased, however, when Charlie offers him the interesting evidence he's found. Jasper, meanwhile, escapes the clutches of local police and returns to Charlie's house at night, badly beaten. He goes onto Mad Jack Lionel's property and looks for answers. When the town Sargent finds and interrogates Jasper, Charlie is determined to find the truth and save his new friend. But Jasper reappears at his window one night, they stake out Mad Jack's house together, and Jasper urges Charlie to break in and find the evidence they need. Charlie feels alone with his secret and his task of helping find evidence to catch the killer. Meanwhile, at home, Charlie's tempestuous mother Ruth dishes out harsh discipline, to which his browbeaten father Wes appears resigned. ![]() As the townspeople of Corrigan, led by the Sergeant, search for Laura, they get closer to the glade every day.Ĭharlie struggles to contain what he knows and battles to keep a lid on his over-enthusiastic best friend, the Vietnamese and cricket-loving Jeffrey. Jasper disappears for days and Charlie carries the secret heavily, especially when in the company of Eliza Wishart, his unrequited love and the younger sister of the missing girl. ![]() Besides, Jasper tells Charlie, he already knows the murderer's identity: Mad Jack Lionel, the town recluse, a man who it is rumoured killed a woman several years previously and hung her in the local abattoir.Ĭharlie gives in to Jasper's wishes and together they hide Laura's body, agreeing to keep it a secret and catch the real killer themselves. Because of his Aboriginality he is blamed for everything bad that happens in Corrigan and he believes he will surely be blamed for Laura's death. Jasper takes him to a secret glade where Charlie witnesses something terrible: a 16-year-old girl, Laura Wishart, Jasper's girlfriend and the only person he could trust, is hanging dead from a eucalypt tree.Ĭharlie immediately wants to contact the police. So when Jasper begs for his help, Charlie takes off into the night with him, terrified but desperate to impress.

Why Ariane Creates the Signalis DreamĪriane Yeong is a bit of a rebel. When they don’t find a planet by a certain timeline, Ariane receives guidance from their government that encourages the human to accept a swift death. Operation Penrose warns its soldiers that there is a high likelihood of failure. The Penrose sends one human and one robot–in this case, Ariane and LSTR (our particular unit, the protagonist, is nicknamed “Elster”)–in a ship each to the far ends of the universe to look for hospitable planets to settle. Elster and Ariane were on ship 512, presumably one of hundreds, if not thousands, of lonely exploratory missions. A recruitment poster for Operation Penrose. Through the course of the story and in-game lore, we can start to identify a few things that we “know” to be true, one of which is that Ariane Yeong was accepted into a space exploration mission called the Penrose Program. Ariane and Elster had promised to kill each other, rather than slowly die alone, but Elster’s mechanical body gave out earlier. Signalis, I believe, takes place in an elaborate dreamscape created by a sick and dying Ariane Yeong in the hopes of being reunited with her love, Elster, an LSTR unit that has long since perished.Īriane builds a dream upon a dream, desperately trying to make her hopes into a reality. Rather, we wanted for each player to get an ending that fits their playstyle. It was not our intention that players replay the game to try to get another ending. The other half of rose-engine, Barbara Wittmann, shared in the same interview, “Endings are determined based on the players’ overall playstyle. I read the multiple endings to be sort of showcasing the journey of other Elsters (and almost as a stand-in for other players, though the game isn’t online at all) and whether they were able to succeed or not. Throughout the decayed spaceship, Elster finds other LSTR bodies. Elster kissing Ariane on the head as she lays in the opened cryo-chamber During their lonely mission, made a promise to kill each other rather than suffer and die alone. Despite strict rules against fraternization of any kind, Elster and Ariane had become friends, and then lovers. The player discovers over the course of the game that Elster and Ariane had been the only two living creatures aboard the Penrose 512. I personally got the “Promise” ending where Elster finds, says goodbye to, and kills the aforementioned Ariane. Realizing there was more, I knew I had to return to finish Signalis.Īfter the fake-out, there are three core endings determined by your playstyle, and a secret epilogue achieved with a lot of replay work. That way, they can stop if they’ve had enough.” So in a way, that ending was my way of trying to make sure people like me get to see an ending even if they usually don’t finish games. It’s a bit of a strange habit perhaps, but I don’t finish most of the games I play, even the ones I enjoy a lot. Yuri Stern, one of the two members of developer rose-engine, told Waypoint, “To be honest, I didn’t expect many players to even reach that ending. When I first “finished” Signalis, I was confused and immediately went online to search for answers, only to realize I had gotten faked out hard by a false ending. Let’s skip to the ending so we can get into it. For me, and perhaps it was for you as well, this was the moment where I was like, “Aw yeah, this game is gonna be WEIRD.” It is now a brown-haired woman named Alina Seo. Upon touching the flashing walls, Elster’s vision flashes through a variety of images, including the words in red: REMEMBER OUR PROMISE.Įlster blinks awake in the bathrooms of Sierpinski, and the photo, still in Elster’s inventory, has changed. She finds shelter in that strange bunker. The prologue ends with Elster using a code on the back of the photo to exit the spaceship and explore a white, snowy landscape. This photo is key to understanding Signalis. Elster discovers this photograph hanging on the dashboard: ![]() She was the Penrose 512’s mechanic her only goal now is to find the ship’s pilot, Ariane Yeong. You play as Elster, a robot clone, who wakes up in a crashed spaceship on an exploration mission for a fascist society. To explain the ending of Signalis, we start at the beginning. Gorgeous cover art above is by The Smoking Gun of Signalis: The Photo Obviously, complete and total spoilers below for Signalis. This long essay-guide is my attempt at explaining the ending of Signalis. It makes sense, then, that the conclusion(s) are also a lot. Signalis is an old-school style horror adventure game where robot clone girls try to find their friends amidst a zombie-like outbreak. ![]() Riverview man flies to Costa Rica to search for missing sister.

A body has been discovered behind the Airbnb property that the 36-year-old. She means more than whatever happened to her in those few hours. CARLA Stefaniak went missing last Tuesday after dropping her sister-in-law off at the airport in San Jose, Costa Rica. In a case that quickly garnered international attention, authorities soon found Stefaniak’s body near the San Antonio of Escazú property she had rented through Airbnb. “Doesn’t give somebody the right to murder her. Carla Stefaniak was visiting Costa Rica from the United States last November when she went missing. She found the perfect apartment in San Jose and couldn’t wait to board that flight and start her vacation. Just look at her, she was bombastic,” said Laura Jaime, her best friend and former housemate in Miami Beach and Hallandale Beach, her most recent residence.

Why would you need to make your character a thousand times bigger? It doesn’t matter. Some packs are made and used that have no real purpose and can sometimes greatly hinder gameplay. For Fun: Sometimes modifications can simply be for fun.This can include texture packs to change the colors for the color blind or special packs for those with difficulty seeing properly in the dark. Accessibility: While most people take for granted their ability to see and operate their game without modifications, the visually disabled or those with processing disorders may need to make some alterations to participate.That being said, there are various reasons to modify your experience using Minecraft texture packs, including: You can see in the screenshot above that the draw call batches have been reduced significantly from 12 batches to 2 batches after using the sprite atlas for our images.Sometimes, when playing a game that is designed to give you unlimited tasks and world-building abilities, spicing it up with mods and changes can keep things fun and interesting for more extended periods of time between expansion packs and DLC. Result Draw Call Batches After Using Sprite Atlas Sprite atlas also packs them into a single power-of-4 image, which lets you compress the image simultaneously.Īfter the sprite atlas creation is done, we don't have to worry about missing image references in our Unity project because Unity's sprite atlas replaces all the old images with the currently packed atlas images. Packing Sprites into an AtlasĪs you can see, after packing the preview, your sprite atlas preview will look like a pack of multiple images combined together. You can either pack the whole folder into a sprite atlas or add single images to the list by adding them individually. To pack those textures into the sprite atlas, you have to add the images you want into the sprite atlas's object for a packing list, as shown below. If you want details on what each sprite setting does, you can check my blog about texture import settings in Unity. Sprite Atlas Creation Adding to the Sprite AtlasĪfter creating and naming a sprite atlas, you will be prompted with a sprite atlas settings page similar to Unity's default texture import settings. Then, you can go to your project menu, click the plus button, and create a sprite atlas like this. To create a sprite atlas, you will need the latest Sprite 2D library package. So, to optimize this, we will have to create a sprite atlas that contains the collection of images we are going to use and look at the difference that process makes on the draw batch number. That has resulted in Unity generating 12 draw batches because it treats every object as an independent texture with its own unique material. Draw Call Batches Without Sprite AtlasĪs you can see in the screenshot above, I have created 12 image components. To have a basic idea of what draw calls do, I have created a simple Unity scene with multiple UI images around them. You can use either of these batching techniques depending on your project. ![]() Dynamic Batching: For small enough meshes, this batching technique transforms their vertices on the CPU, groups similar vertices together, and renders them in one draw call.Static Batching: This batching combines static GameObjects and renders them together.There are two types of draw call batching. Our goal is to decrease the draw call to the least possible number. So, in this blog, we will be optimizing draw calls of a simple UI that uses multiple images and materials using a sprite atlas. Draw call batching is a form of draw call optimization that lets you combine meshes and helps Unity render them in fewer draw calls. So, to solve these issues, we will have to use an optimization technique called Draw Call Batching. Draw Call Optimization: Draw Call Batching Even worse, it might significantly affect your FPS and make your game unplayable if it isn't managed well. Having too many batches of draw calls in your game might slow down your game. Draw CallsĪ Draw Call is a call to the graphics API to draw an object – like a mesh – and draw call batches are the calls done to the graphics API in bulk to draw objects together. In such cases, generating a lot of textures or meshes – or applying materials with multiple shaders – might increase something called "Draw Calls" in your game. Imagine you have a game in Unity where you use thousands of materials all across the project, whether for characters, NPCs, environments, UI, or anything else. ![]() This Blueprint will help you transform it into a deadlier weapon. The best part is that you’ll also find a couple of bolts and a Blueprint right next to the Crossbow. After you have located the train, you’ll need to make your way inside it, where you’ll be able to pick up the Crossbow. The crossbow is located in an orange train car right next to Jasir’s Farm. You will need The Following expansion pack to get your hands on it. One thing to remember is that the Crossbow is not available in the normal version of the game. Sounds disturbing, right? Well, on the bright side, you’re getting a free weapon. There is another method of getting that weapon, which involves visiting a house in the Slums and picking up the pistol from the feet of a guy who committed suicide through it. Thankfully, it is not difficult to get, considering you can find it in most of the Police Vans scattered throughout the cities. However, he had to get rid of it because of some reason, so you’ll need to find it again. Some of you don’t know that you already saw the German 9mm Pistol at the start of the game when the protagonist arrived in Harran city. You can then combine these parts with a Two-Handed Hammer or a Small Hammer to create the God Hammer in Dying Light. During the mission, you’ll enter a workshop inside an apartment, and the Blueprint will be waiting for you to pick it up at a workbench. The Blueprint can be found during the Chasing Past side quest. ![]() Instead, you’ll need to get the God Hammer Blueprint and create the weapon yourself. However, the God Hammer isn’t something that you can find as regular loot or as a reward for completing a mission. By only looking at it, you’ll be able to tell that this weapon can destroy even the toughest of opponents. The God Hammer can help you become Thor from the Avengers. You might find some other weapons better than these ones, and that is totally okay. Keep in mind that we are going to mention those weapons that we think are amazing in Dying Light. The Katana, the final weapon, combines crowd-eliminating power with swiftness, making it exceptionally formidable.The Toxic Reaper Machete, the eleventh weapon, is an agile choice dealing decent early-game damage.The Sledgehammer, the tenth weapon, is a heavy weapon suitable for taking down multiple foes simultaneously but at the expense of stamina.The ninth weapon, EXPcalibur, is a powerful mythical weapon based on Excalibur.The Semi-auto Shotgun, the eighth weapon, excels at one-shotting close-range enemies.The Police Rifle, the seventh weapon, is the go-to option for those seeking an automatic rifle.The Fenris Axe, the sixth weapon, sacrifices speed for high damage output.The Angel Sword, the fifth weapon, is a potent longsword capable of slicing enemies in half.The Helluva Homerun Baseball Bat, the fourth weapon, is exclusive to “The Following” DLC.The Crossbow, the third weapon, is an excellent choice for ranged combat, exclusively available in “The Following” DLC.The second weapon, the German 9mm Pistol, stands out due to its unique damage in a predominantly melee-focused game. ![]() The first weapon, the God Hammer, resembles Thor’s Mjolnir.Dying Light offers a variety of incredible weapons for defeating enemies. ![]() You are forced to tank their hits, which I think is stupid. Because you can't even dodge their attacks no matter how hard you try. Killing Volatiles with ranged weapons, particularly shotguns and explosives, isn't all that hard, but melee fighting a Volatile is just stupid. If you absolutely want to kill a Volatile with melee, your best bet is to have a very strong weapon, and tank all of the hits while hitting the Volatile, and hope it dies before you do. What often ends up happening is, even if you Matrix the hell out of the fight and dodge every attack, you will still get hit as their tackle and jump attack hitboxes are horribly broken and will often hit you even if you appear to have dodged the attack. However, trying to fight a Volatile head on with a melee weapon is very unpleasant. And there is a picture on the store page of 2 players fighting Volatiles. The game seems to encourage you to run from them, but despite that, there is an achievement for killing a Volatile, and some bounties for doing it too. ![]() What Size Windshield Wipers Do I Need 2007 Pontiac Vibe?įor a 2007 Pontiac Vibe, you will need a set of windshield wipers that are 18 inches in length.

“E” indicates a specific measure of humidity called “water vapour pressure” which is multiplied by 0.33, while “WS” is the current wind speed multiplied by 0.7.įorecasts showed Sydneysiders could expect to experience a month’s worth of rain in five days in July. “Ta” is the ambient temperature reading, the baseline temperature measure. In that equation “AT” stands for “apparent temperature” (the “feels like” reading). More specifically, despite its less-than-scientific sounding name, “feels like” is derived from this carefully designed equation: To provide a fuller picture, “feels like” is calculated using air temperature along with factors including wind and humidity. But it “doesn’t really account for the subtle differences in how conditions feel day to day”, Claassen says. This allows meteorologists to get an accurate reading of air temperature in the shade. “The apparent temperature will take into account differences in conditions that … will affect how that temperature feels to people,” he says. The “feels like”, or apparent, temperature is what a regular person would experience when outside, in the shade, and dressed for the weather, says Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Pieter Claassen. It does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s a measure of what the weather actually feels like when you’re out and about in it. Credit: Jason South What does ‘feels like’ temperature mean? Icy winds and rain greeted commuters on the first day of winter in Melbourne’s CBD. In Melbourne, the mercury is forecast to drop to 8 degrees at 7am on Saturday, but the “feels like” temperature is set to be as low as 2 degrees. ![]() In Sydney on Thursday, locals saw the temperature forecast show 12 degrees at 10am, but it felt like 5 degrees. ![]() ![]() But the “feels like” temperature, a measurement developed by an Australian researcher 40 years ago, might give you a better idea of how to dress for the day. The cold snap of air as you walk out the door in the morning might have you questioning whether this year’s sharp winter is eluding the experts. |
