![]() ![]() It's a modern-day version of The Lost Vikings, and any gamer will be proud to experience the world Trine 2 has to offer! ![]() It's got action, it's got physics puzzles, it's got both single- and online multiplayer modes, and it's got a sense of humor that will probably remind you of Magicka. That wasn't so difficult, now was it? Try not to worry about that Dragon, it won't hurt you just yet.A crazy, multiplayer romp through a visually lush game featuring three moderately-mad fantasy characters with their own unique abilities? Show us where to sign! Actually, now that you mention it, Trine 2 happens to be all of the things described above, plus a whole lot more. Use the ascending and descending platforms to get up, go under the gate, throw the switch, and go through the door. In this next section, move the portal so it absorbs the flames, allowing you to safetly ascend onto the bubble. Once the second Spider has been dealt with, leap across the dropping platforms, then use the grapple to lower yourself safetly past the next Fireball Plant. Once the first Spider is killed, that's right, I said first as in, there is more than one Spider here, look for another Spider that will leap down from above. Once again arachnophobes, let your best friend kill it for you if you must. You'll now head through a library and then run into a Spider. Use the Knight's hammer to clear the barrier up top to move on. Once you open up the door, you will approach an open section filled with Goblins. Move it, run, run back, and keep moving it. You'll have to use the open spaces to adjust the switch. Use the Knight's shield to get past the flames in the next section, head all the way to the right, then use the Wizard's levitate to adjust the right fire pipe. If you drop down and go to the right instead, you'll find a Chest. Use the upcoming series of portals to focus the flame into the cauldron, then ride the bubble up to the top. After you slaughter this group, use the Knight's shield to get past the fire wheel that comes up next. ![]() Another wave of Big Goblins and Goblin Archers will appear next. Conjure a crate to open the gate button and then go up and over the barrier. ![]() The more often you drop through the portals, the more momentum you build, so it's easy to pop up over the railing on the far side, though you may want to grab the experience orbs above using the same basic physics. Use the two switches to manipulate them, and if you fall, use the wind pipes below to blow yourself back up toward the main level. Next you'll learn how to play with the "mirrors", though really they're portals, for real. Bring both crates in front of the gate, and use them to jump up onto it when it rotates, allowing you access to the other side. Move onward, float up on a bubble, and hit the button in front of the pipe to move the gate directly in front of you. As soon as you pass through the door, you will be attacked by a giant spider, so either be ready to cover your eyes and let your spouse/sibling/parent/friend play, or have your Knight/ Thief ready to defend. In the next room, use levitate to move the boulder through the " mirrors" and onto the button to open the door and move on. Use a bubble to get up and over the bookshelves, and grab the experience orbs above at your leisure. Move toward the right, break through the barrier with the Knight, and then move through the lab.

![]() ![]() You can learn more about the traditions of Day of the Dead, including the altars and Catrinas on our article about Celebrating Life on Day of the Dead in Mexico Learn more about Day of the Dead in Mexico In some provincial towns and villages, local families traditionally open their homes’ altars on the 1st and 2nd of November so a visit to a local cemetery and a wander around local neighborhoods may provide you with an opportunity to share and experience Day of the Dead traditions at a very local and personal level. The ofrendas may be witnessed at local cemeteries, and in public parks and plazas. Incense burners may also be found on some ofrendas, alongside the candles. The importance of candlelightĬandlelight is an important atmospheric aspect of each ofrenda, and the markets are replete with options, often presented in colorful pots and jars, or with edges of the wax candle painted and decorated in harmony with Day of the Dead themes. Most altars will include some form of confectionery, typically caramelized pumpkin and an assortment of sugar skulls which are creatively decorated and painted and sold in a range of different sizes. The altar tables are usually draped and adorned with colorful paper or cloth, some with cut-outs known as papel picado and formed into a variety of patterns which echo the traditions -C atrinas, skulls, crosses, and flowers are most common- and some even depict pumpkins. If you’re visiting Mexico in the days leading up the event, be sure to visit at least one local market to experience the atmosphere and witness the traditions which accompany the creation of family altars, and where you’ll see local people busily seeking out the indispensable pieces they need to compose their own unique and very personal ofrenda: a symbol of remembrance and a celebration of lives lived. In the two weeks or so leading-up to Day of the Dead, local markets across Mexico begin to fill-up with colorful stalls selling all the items traditionally needed to fully dress a family ofrenda. Small clay pots containing samples of foods like corn, spices, chiles, and confectionery are common as are clay cups or mugs containing the deceased’s favorite beverages-which could include sodas, chocolate, coffee, tea, atole as well as tequila, pulque, or mezcal, etc.Įvery altar will include Mexican orange marigold flowers called cempaxochitl -colloquially referred to as flor de muerto- as well as Pan de Muerto, bread of the dead. For adults, it’s traditional to leave samples of the food and drink they especially enjoyed (or the ingredients which make them). ![]() In remembrance of deceased children, toy and game sets, cuddly toys, as well as candy and snacks they enjoyed may be placed here. Special care is given to the composition of this layer by those creating the ofrendas, giving due consideration to the important things their loved ones most enjoyed during the course of their lifetime. The second tier of the altar is the most personal, furnished with a thoughtful selection of ofrendas for the remembered deceased. the third tier will feature lit candles, and some people add a washbasin and a towel so that the spirits of the deceased may refresh themselves upon arrival at the altar.Personal ornaments, and/or the deceased’s favorite food or confection will also be present here, as will Pan de Muerto ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Much like Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, and Warframe before it, there’s every reason for Spacelords to fulfill a niche mainstream games just aren’t. Spacelords is the sort of game we’re told can’t exist in the AAA space anymore, yet it’s making it work. The art direction is somehow both gorgeous and hideous in just the right way, with characters equally alien yet identifiable. The gameplay never compromises into a convenient box. The dialogue swear count rivals the bullets flying on screen. Despite skepticism thrown its way, there’s a tight, devoted fanbase that’s found something great within Spacelords. I saw active clan groups playing together, there are monthly updates from the developers with new content, a staggering amount of fan art - nothing that screams the game is a massive success, but it’s alive despite everything. Where many games-as-a-service titles aim for the largest player base possible, Spacelords is doing fine with its niche audience. As such, players never sit in one place longer than necessary, leading to one hell of a ride that hearkens to the more intense play styles of Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer. Aleph also is often critical to mission objectives, and if you die, your opposing Elites and Antagonist players can pick up your energy for themselves, complicating matters considerably. It’s not For Honor, but you can’t name many third-person shooters with this much thought put into their melee combat.ĭiverging still, instead of grenades or power meters, you obtain the caustic energy Aleph from taking down elite enemies and grabbing it from spawns across the environment. Your fists are as valuable as your gun, dealing out a mixture of punches, grapples, and dodges to triumph over your enemies with icons nudging you to counter correctly. Rather than a standard cover shooter, the emphasis is on managing enemy mobs and staying mobile. Speaking of which, one of the other major improvements over Spacelords’ original launch is a vastly faster paced, refreshing combat system. ![]() Everything from fighting a foul mouthed wannabe Cthulhu to darting around shifting ruins out of Tomb Raider is on offer, made all the more memorable with jokes and snark for every hero. All these elements ensure each mission feels like its own replayable game type thanks to the diverse offerings. Killing them is worth extra points, but if they foil you, they get all the glory. It’s remarkable that each level has multiple routes and potential strategies given how much each is structured like a linear set piece.įurther bucking trends, player-versus-player is meshed into story missions, allowing for one Antagonist player to join in. Each scenario throws half a dozen new wrinkles at you, from laser-spewing crystals sending you rolling in boss fights and NPC factions duking it out in the middle of your operation to ancient demons teleporting you to another dimension to tussle with you one on one. Better yet, rather than pay for new missions or heroes, it’s exceptionally easy to earn credits for new heroes, while additional missions unlock every few levels. There also isn’t a bland overworld of copy-pasted enemies to face, but handcrafted missions like out of Syndicate or Left 4 Dead. Instead, the incentive is to build new versions as you level up, able to further max out your loadout so you can go forth and kick ass. Instead of grinding for loot, you earn crafting materials and experience just by running dailies, and you can invest each into precisely the guns and skills you want. Not aiding matters was a lackluster introduction to a litany of systems you needed to understand to play it properly, along with a starting mission that’s one of the game’s weakest scenarios.Īfter several attempts to turn things around, Mercury Steam finally opted for a relaunch that boldly just throws up its hands at what every games-as-a-service title offers. To play everything, it cost close to full retail price, but matchmaking was split across those who owned specific campaign packs. It was an interesting attempt at episodic content and monetization, but it ended up nearly killing the game. Despite its talented pedigree though, Spacelords’ launch was anything but a guaranteed success.Īs Raiders of the Broken Planet, the game was a semi-free-to-play experience where, after the initial free missions, you could pay for sets of campaign missions. All told, the title is impressively polished for a free-to-play game. It’s a third-person co-op shooter game that’s equally a brawler, tied together with an anime twist on Borderlands’ aesthetics. Spacelords (or the game formerly known as Raiders of the Broken Planet) is easily the most uncharacteristic entry in developer Mercury Steam’s output. ![]() ![]() WordPress IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channel To help them help you be sure to use a descriptive thread title and describe your question in as much detail as possible.

I have been looking forward to doing this update as this comic is based on a film that revamped the horror genre of the late 90’s well into the 2000’s and also sparked the craze of found footage films that is still going to this day. ![]() Welcome back to Rotten Ink and to my 2 nd update in our countdown to Halloween 2017. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the chaos and buzz of survival, it can be hard to make out adequate time for your special person these love quotes can serve as a channel of expression.

Like GStreamer, MPlayer has only command line interface and there are a couple of front-ends available, which use GUI widgets of GTK, Qt or some other widget library. Since version 1.0RC1, Mplayer can decode subtitles in ASS/SSA subtitle format, using libass. It can also be used to display TV from a TV card using the device tv://channel, or play and capture radio channels via radio://channel|frequency. MPlayer can also use a variety of output driver protocols to display video, including VDPAU, the X video extension, OpenGL, DirectX, Direct3D, Quartz Compositor, VESA, Framebuffer, SDL and rarer ones such as ASCII art (using AAlib and libcaca) and Blinkenlights.

MPlayer was previously called "MPlayer - The Movie Player for Linux" by its developers but this was later shortened to "MPlayer - The Movie Player" after it became commonly used on other operating systems.

English, Hungarian, Polish, Russian and Spanish ![]() ![]() The problem was (and why I believe you should’ve taken Robert’s deal) is you were valuing its potential AFTER a shark hops on board puts in work to help it get there. Just how a random viewer in America saw it play out. I honestly couldn’t even believe he gave you the offer he did. Don’t you think if he helped increase your profits tenfold that it would make him deserving of & worth a measly 20% stake? 100% of 100K profit is still only 100k, whereas 80% or 10M would be 8M. Should’ve given Robert the 20% because, as Mark would say, “would you rather have 100% of a grape or 80% of a watermelon?” You were too focused on that equity, rather than the value he’d provide. I’m not trying to knock you, but how you thought you could realistically strike a deal of 500K for 10% is beyond comprehension. I don’t know how you’re doing now, but it’s been several years & I haven’t heard of your product until watching an episode of Shark Tank tonight. Why would you expect them to pay you both to work for you & for a hypothetical value that their connections & expertise would play a massive role in creating? You presented no real tangible scale strategy & your numbers, as they were, made the 10M valuation absolutely offensive to anyone with even an elementary business sense/acumen. The problem was (& why I believe you should’ve taken Robert’s deal) you were valuing its potential AFTER a shark hops on board puts in their hard work to help it get there. They laughed and said, “you better not have taken that deal.” A full level of relief went through me.Īnd the rest is history.check out some of our Best Sellers here. ![]() Talk about going from being the most stressed to utter relief. The best feeling in the world was when I called the office and told them the story. When I called and told the team, I had no idea how they were going to take the news of no deal. I knew at that exact moment we were going to be alright, both in saying no and the future of the company. We have a good friend and investor who did exactly this for a living. As I inched closer to saying yes, it all stopped. He really wanted me to reconsider and told me that we needed him to get us all these really difficult licenses if we wanted to grow. At the time, I thought that was the only way to show the world proof. I wanted to do it to validate myself and the hard work of my team that brought us to this moment. Now, I knew this going into the show but when it happens on TV and there is no going back, all your practice goes out the window. Robert then countered with $500k for 20%. Robert wanted something cool and I think footwear intrigued him as well. I fought through a few of those questions with Kevin and Lori going out. I knew valuation was going to be an issue. They each took them out of the box and a few tried them on, walked around in them, and commented on how comfy they were to wear. We had a pair of slides personalized for each Shark. I passed out the samples to each shark and they loved them. I thought the opening pitch went really well. "Hello Sharks, my name is." And we are off and running. No one says anything and there are 400 cameras everywhere.įinally, I hear someone yell “3…. Here I am looking at the Sharks and the Sharks are staring back at me. They have you stand in one spot for about 30 seconds to set the moment. It was surreal and crazy walking down to the stage. If they didn't go in together, then I was going to ask them to as part the deal. I went on Shark Tank thinking Daymond and Mark were going to both fall in love with our customized slide sandals and decide to go in together. Barbara Corcoran was a true shark, Daymond John wanted to invest in cool even though he said he didn't and Mark Cuban, well I could never figure out Mark. Kevin O'Leary is the guy who loves giving everyone a hard time. ![]() I also THOUGHT I knew WHY each deal was done or not done. I knew every startup that went on the show and pitched and knew the outcomes. ![]() The stress of the moment came from having watched every episode on for the first 7 seasons of Shark Tank. Yes, this includes any test that I have ever taken for school. Going on Shark Tank in September 2016 was far and away the most stressed I have ever been. ![]() |
