I'll have to give it to Epson though, their driver package was only 50MB, not the hundreds of megabytes I've seen from other vendors. Fortunately, the unit was wireless and was already joined to the WPA2 network, but it was still annoying. Then I installed her Epson printer drivers. Then I brought the system up to current patch levels and installed all her laptop support drivers from Lenovo. Then I did a complete re-format of the system and re-installed Windows. And if the computer was this messed up after two years of use, it probably needed a refresh.Īrmed with a System Rescue USB stick I had prepared the night before, I booted into a Linux recovery environment, mounted the NTFS partitions, and copied all her data from her profile and other key directories out to an external USB drive. If there were other known methods of recovering the Administrator account I didn't feel like researching them at the time, because I knew that it would probably only take me two to three hours to offload her essential data stored in her locked out user profile, re-format the hard disk and re-install Windows 7 with her important programs. An unfortunate oversight on my part, but I had never expected her Administrator account to be completely locked out either. I had also forgotten to create a Password reset USB key when I made my initial visit to the machine about two years ago after weeks after my Mother-in-Law received it from Lenovo. F8 on bootup to restore to previous state yielded no improvement. When I got there on Saturday morning I literally tried everything to bring this Windows 7 laptop back from the dead. I'm happy to say that he's finally achieved Grand Master Computer Killing Sith Lord status. They don't read the docs and they have no intention of ever reading them, because YOU are around to baby them every time they need it. They have an impressive ability to essentially destroy a perfectly working system by virtue of their computing habits alone, refuse to listen when you tell them not to do certain things, and refuse to remember how to do things properly when they ask you how to do them. It's almost as if they are emanating some mystical energy force that manages to break things. I believe there are certain types of people which should never be let near a Windows computer, or probably ANY kind of computer or technological device. Me: "Sh17! I'm going to have to come over and fix it. The main Administrator account was locked out as well. Obviously, she let my Father-in-Law on as her account, and he somehow managed to mangle everything. Her Windows 7 account, which had Administrator equivalency, was locked out. I went through the usual remote diagnostics.

Thank you for your continued belief in analog instant photography, Oskar Smolokowski CEO, Polaroid Our manufacturing team led an intensive, 6-month testing and improvement plan on Spectra cameras and our film. We look forward to working with our community to test new products and to keep analog instant photography thriving well into the future. As we share in the sadness with our community, we continue to focus on the future of analog instant photography through enhancing our core range, and through continued work on our film chemistry. So today, with a heavy heart, we are announcing the end of production for Spectra film. After extensive testing, we have concluded that we cannot support these cameras any longer. Jamming and frequent breakdowns are now affecting the majority of these cameras, and unfortunately, this is not something we can influence with our film. With three decades behind them, these wide format cameras are now coming to the end of their useful lives. Pick which format or film styles appeal to you the most instead.October 2019 Dear Spectra photographers, Since 1986, Spectra has played an important part in Polaroid’s film offering and in the world of analog instant photography. In choosing an instant camera - "Image Quality" is fairly unimportant. My Lomo'Instant Wide isn't really that sharp and it vignettes like an 80's glamour shot - but it's got character and I like the wide film. Instant cameras are novelties - they're fun to use and toss the images onto the fridge, in a scrapbook, or mail to someone. More specifically (for anyone interested) I'm thinking about buying a SX-70 or a Spectra in stead the 600 camera I'm currently borrowing, if the film quality/results are better, since the current prize differences between films wouldn't really matter for my use. Cameras for these include those made by Fuji and Lomography. The mini film has quite a few novelty versions. If you want to shoot W I D E - then you'll need the Spectra Camera.Īnd if you want to shoot the good ol' fashioned polaroid - then a new I-Type Camera is the way to go, as it can shoot the less expensive I-Type Film and all variations of the 600 Type Film.Īlso in this market are cameras designed to shoot Fuji's Instax film, of which there are square, mini, and wide versions. You'll need a SX-70 Camera to shoot the ISO 160 formula. There are only 2 color formulas - the ISO 640 formula, and the ISO 160 formula. Will only work with Spectra Type Cameras. Same chemical formula as the 600 Film, but in a wide format. This film will only work with I-Type Cameras. The I-Type Film packs omit the battery - saving a few bucks on their price. The new I-Type cameras have their own power supply, so they do not need to use this battery. The older Polaroid 600 cameras were powered by a battery that was stored in the film pack. I have no experience with these films (as my instants are Fuji) - but I would assume the SX-70 film to be more vibrant and saturated due to the lower ISO. Will work with older 600 type cameras and the newly made I-Type cameras. Also now produced in a "duochrome" - a black and white film with a blue or pink color overlay. Produced in Color and Black and White, with white borders or color borders. But, here's the difference:Ħ00 Type Film - 3.1" x 3.1" Image area. Polaroid Originals is bringing back as much as they can, but it's easy to see from their website that their focus is on the 600 type film. : 2 Myst contains a library where two additional books can be found, colored red and blue. Placing their hand on the last page, the player is whisked away to the world described and is left with no choice but to explore the island. The player reads the book and discovers a detailed description of an island world called Myst. Players assume the role of an unnamed person who stumbles across an unusual book titled "Myst". The game unfolds at its own pace and is solved through a combination of patience, observation, and logical thinking. There are no obvious enemies, no physical violence, no time limit to complete the game, and no threat of dying at any point. This means that players must simply begin to explore. The player is provided with very little backstory at the beginning of the game, and no obvious goals or objectives are laid out. Each Age must be explored to solve the game's primary puzzle on Myst.Īpart from its predominantly nonverbal storytelling, Myst 's gameplay is unusual among adventuring computer games in several ways. Each of the Ages-named Selenitic, Stoneship, Mechanical, and Channelwood-requires the user to solve a series of logical, interrelated puzzles to complete its exploration. There, the player discovers and follows clues to be transported via "linking books" to several "Ages", each of which is a self-contained mini-world. To complete the game, the player must fully explore the island of Myst. Players can only carry a single page at a time, and pages return to their original locations when dropped. : 9 Some items can be carried by the player and read, including journal pages which provide backstory. While this provides a rapid method of travel, it can also cause players to miss important items and clues. Myst has an optional "Zip" feature to assist in rapidly crossing areas already explored when a lightning bolt cursor appears, players can click and skip several frames to another location. : 5–6 The player moves by clicking on locations shown on the screen the scene then crossfades into another frame, and the player can explore the new area. Players can interact with specific objects on some screens by clicking or dragging them. Myst 's gameplay consists of a first-person journey through an interactive world. The library, visible in the background, contains books that describe each of the different ages the player can link to. Solving a puzzle raises the ship in the foreground and allows the player to reach the Stoneship Age. Screenshot of the eponymous Myst Island, the central hub of the game. The game has been rereleased and remade using real-time 3D graphics. Myst helped drive adoption of the CD-ROM drive, spawned a multimedia franchise, and inspired clones, parodies, and new video game genres, as well as spin-off novels and other media. Selling more than six million copies, Myst became the best-selling PC game until The Sims exceeded its sales in 2002. Critics lauded the ability of the game to immerse players in its fictional world it has since been considered one of the best video games ever made. The game was a critical and commercial success. The game was created on Macintosh computers and ran on the HyperCard software stack, though ports to other platforms subsequently required the creation of a new engine. The game's design was limited by the small memory footprint of consoles (the original intended platform for the game) and by the slow speed of CD-ROM drives. They wanted to create a graphically-impressive game with a nonlinear story and mystery elements. Myst marked a segue for the Miller brothers from the kid's games market to adult-targeted games. The player interacts with objects and walks to different locations by clicking on pre-rendered imagery. From there, solving puzzles allows the player to travel to other worlds ("Ages"), which reveal the backstory of the game's characters and help the player make the choice of whom to aid. In the game, the player travels via a special book to a mysterious island called Myst. It was developed by Cyan, Inc., published by Broderbund, and initially released in 1993 for the Macintosh. Myst is a graphic adventure designed by the Miller brothers, Robyn and Rand. Marauders are excellent in dealing massive damage to enemies, but very effective if they focus on a single target at a time. Gust encourages you to take the fight to the enemy without the worry of being easily targeted. Each time a projectile is denied, your stamina is restored. What also makes the Marauder an effective offensive player is this ability where you can destroy all enemy fireballs locked on to you, while also making you unlockable for a short period. However, the ability can also be used defensively by applying the mark on an enemy that is either chasing you or a weaker ally in your team. What the ability does is that you can target a single enemy for increased damage, best used against enemies with the highest bounty on them. The ability also allows the fireballs to hit quicker, but with reduced damage. This ability allows you to lock the target on an enemy and then send a tracking fireball to hit them. This class has three main abilities with different effects: Century: Age of Ashes Marauder Guideīelow we have detailed the Marauder class abilities and what they do. On the other hand, the shield destroying ability is another way to disrupt the enemy and make them vulnerable. The abilities allow you to target enemies with the Hunter’s Mark, while also blocking enemy locking fireballs onto you by using the Gust ability. However, this class is best against a single target which can devastate the enemy. The Marauder class is for players who like to take the fight to the enemy and targeting them with powerful attacks. Marauder is one of the classes in the game that you can choose from, however, it also offers two other classes with their own special abilities to suit different play styles. This Century: Age of Ashes Marauder Guide will detail the Marauder class with the abilities that are special with this character. Even though Sheffield was a geeky Irish Catholic music obsessive from Boston and Renée was a “real cool hell-raising Appalachian punk-rock girl” who was raised Southern Baptist, “rooted for the Atlanta Braves and sewed her own silver vinyl pants,” when the two met in Charlottesville, they clicked. In this touching and frequently hilarious book, Sheffield structures each of the 15 chapters around a different mix tape, most of which relate in some way to his wife, Renée, who died of a sudden pulmonary embolism in 1997, after they'd been married for five years. Like any true music obsessive, Sheffield-a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, where he writes the “Pop Life” column-has a vast back catalog of mix tapes, either self-made or given as gifts. We pride ourselves on our independence and our rigorous review-testing process, offering up long-term attention to the products we review and making sure our reviews are updated and maintained - regardless of when a device was released if you can still buy it, it's on our radar.A rock critic tells about the love of life via a series of 15 mix tapes full to bursting with songs of passion, regret and bad rhyme schemes. While this is my first time building a keyboard from scratch, I have been modding my own keebs since 2022. I used it for composing work emails, writing work documents and articles, and playing PC games like Cyperpunk 2022, Rocket League, Hogwarts Legacy, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits.Ī self-professed keyboard enthusiast with a modest but expanding mechanical keyboard collection, I've also been testing and reviewing keyboards for gaming, productivity, and creative work for years. After it was built, I tested it for two weeks, using it as my main keyboard for productivity and play. I used it on my work applications as well as different PC gamesīecause I got the keyboard-building kit version, I spent some time building the actual keyboard before getting around to testing it.I spent half a day building this then a couple of weeks testing it.If you can afford it, however, you’ll be pleased to know that Glorious ships to the UK and Australia. That’s a lot of money for many beginner modders to spend. I also got a $7.99 switch puller as well. My own kit cost $169.99 for the barebone kit plus a $19.99 polycarbonate switch plate, $34.99 Glorious Lynx switches, $34.99 Glorious Pandas, $49.99 pastel PBT keycaps, a $59.99 aqua blue top frame, a $9.99 aqua blue rotary knob, and a $49.99 electric blue coiled cable. Building your own if you were to mod every single part will cost you a whole lot more, with the barebone kit already setting you back $169.99 (about £140 / AU$250), which is about the same as many prebuilt keebs from other enthusiast keyboard brands. The prebuilt version will set you back $349.99 (about £285 / AU$525) in the US, and that’s already a little too steep for most people. The Glorious GMMK Pro isn’t going to be cheap, especially if you’re looking to build your own kit. Where can you get it? Available in the US, UK, and Australia.There’s also no need to worry about latency here as it’s a wired keyboard – something that many gamers prefer over wireless options. And, they kept up with me, whether I was writing an article, composing email messages, or playing titles like Cyperpunk 2022, Rocket League, Hogwarts Legacy, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Meanwhile, the switches – I used both of Glorious’ Panda and Lynx mechanical switches – are very responsive and accurate, especially the Panda ones. They have more like a clacking sound, and while I’m more partial to a good thock sound, these aren’t too loud and definitely better than the annoying clicky ones. The keys themselves are great to type on. I didn’t experience any other issues after. Luckily, it was simply a matter of opening the Glorious Core app and changing the current profile. The keys themselves weren’t responsive, and I had to scour the internet for a solution. The first time I plugged it into my gaming PC, only the volume dial and RGB lighting were working. An important thing to note, however, is that some users have reported bugs with their Glorious keyboards, and I noticed a few as well in the beginning. Mastering different commanders and scenarios turned out to be more fun than I thought it would be. However, I did enjoy the campaign back in the day and now the co-op missions have sparked my interest. Multiplayer was never my primary interest in the game, and I believe for most people it’s really hard to get into, as it requires plenty of skill and dedication. So now, with the benefit of hindsight, can we say that going Free-to-Play has had a significant impact on StarCraft 2? For one, it did make me go back after roughly three years. Additionally, everyone who has owned Wings of Liberty gets the second part of the trilogy for free. There are also co-op missions which let you level up commanders with varying abilities – the three main commanders are available for free, but the alternative ones can only reach level 5 unless you buy them. After getting your first 10 wins of the day, you can permanently unlock ranked mode. Since November 14th, everyone who downloads the game can play through Wings of Liberty (the first single-player story campaign, which is about 18 hours long) and has full access to versus and arcade modes. Their ad campaign was extensive, and in one of the videos they even poked fun at the controversy surrounding pay-to-win practices in Battlefront 2, which was still ongoing at the time. Truth be told, RTS is hardly a popular genre these days, having largely been replaced by MOBAs, team shooters, and more recently battle royales, so for the sake of variety and nostalgia I welcome any measure that shines a little light its way.īlizzard, of course, did not fail to take advantage of its time in the spotlight, making sure that everyone knew about this new path StarCraft 2 was taking. The prevailing feeling was that after seven years since launch, there would be an opportunity for new players to discover the game and for returning ones to check out all the changes. With StarCraft 2, however, the change was actually quite well received. Such transitions often give rise to concerns, as players expect more microtransactions, grind and possibly pay-to-win mechanics to be implemented. But the most important news was announced at BlizzCon 2017 by the CEO of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime, who confirmed that StarCraft 2 would soon be going Free-to-Play. August saw the premiere of StarCraft: Remastered, an HD version of the classic RTS (some time earlier, the non-HD original was released for free). In July, Blizzard released War Chests, which allow players to directly support e-sports tournaments in exchange for unlockable in-game cosmetics. That brings us to StarCraft, for which the last year has certainly been interesting. However, games that once had to be bought, if popular enough may become available in a Free-to-Play model. After a few years, many are shut down or abandoned, with only a small fraction of the playerbase still logging in – a bit like a virtual ghost town.

If you want a hunting game on the Switch that has an arcade feel to it, Big Buck Hunter Arcade is the game for you. Play Mechanix Inc, Play Mechanix, Incredible Technologies, GameMill Entertainment, and Jakks Pacific The main campaign will only take you up to half an hour but completing everything in the game will take you around 8 hours Hunting, simulation, arcade, shooter, sports This game is incredibly immersive and it’s one of the best hunting Switch games around. You can also gear up by buying valuable items for your hunting trip, like night vision goggles. It is also effective against a flock of birds. There’s a wide variety of weapons in this game, which are all effective against different animals.įor example, the pump-action shotgun has a wide-spread bullet and deals more significant damage to more giant animals up close. You don’t just point and shoot at animals, you need to track them down via footprints and waste in order to find where they’re hiding. This game takes a slow-paced approach to first-person shooting and manages to feel incredibly realistic thanks to this. The gameplay is a lot better than the previous Hunting Simulator title, as it includes new content, a wider variety of animals to kill, and even a canine companion to help you with your hunting. The ambience is realistic and immersive, and the mechanics feel incredibly lifelike as well. It’s a first-person simulator with a vast open world that lets you wander around and enjoy nature while hunting. Hunting Simulator 2 does exactly what it says on the box. For the next blind in this cluster, head south around the second pond’s shore and when you reach the southernmost tip of the second pond, head southwest to the southeastern corner of the third pond where the third blind can be found.Hunter Shooting Camp Hunting Simulator 2 GenreĬompleting everything in the game will take you roughly 50-60 hours The faction to the pond to the northwest of the cabin. Then, if you travel directly west from this first blind, you should come to the northeastern corner of the second pond where another blind is located. I doubt this is necessary, but it made me feel better at least.) (Note: At each POI location, I made sure to enter the structure at least once, just to be sure that it saved my progress. Head to this pond first and the blind can be found on the northeastern shore of the pond. There isn’t really a difference or faster way to get to these three, as they are all close by, so for the purpose of this guide, I would just have you move in a counter-clockwise fashion while starting at the pond north of the cabin. All of these offer the player different advantages when playing through the game.Ī map shows the three ponds near the cabin in Pawnee Meadows. Tents are points of interest that can be used to fast travel around the map when discovered. The only difference between the two is that towers are stand-alone structures and stands are attached to trees, and not every map has both.īlinds are typically found near water and can be used for waterfowl hunting. Towers and stands are tall elevated structures that players may discover which provides them with an elevated platform to hunt from. However, in this Hunting Simulator 2 Pawnee Meadows Guide, we will be showing the location of each of these points of interest to help you easily find these advantageous locations and improve your hunting experience. These include towers, stands, blinds, and tents which can be used in various ways once they are found and which are also discussed in our Hunting Simulator 2 review. While Hunting Simulator 2 is a newly released hunting simulation game, the game’s maps also offer various points of interest to be discovered by the player. How did someone in such a small and non-descriptive place get himself into such a situation?īookTrail the locations in Night Shadows here The tragedy and all of the fall out is more compelling given the pace of the novel as I assume this is reflective of the pace of life in the town itself. Bodies are hidden just waiting to be dug up. Secrets are hidden just waiting to be discovered. Everything is hidden here or people are trying to hide something. This is the perfect description of this novel in itself. I like the name that Eva Björg Ægisdóttir has given her series of novels – Hidden Iceland. When the fire at the start of the novel has such a bizarre and suspicious background to it, the rest of the novel has to be a maze of red herrings and twists which it was. It’s a slow burn but when it builds it burns you just as much, perhaps more than a fast-paced crime novel might have done.
