Ephemeral memories fire emblem8/1/2023 ![]() ![]() They rule the district of Veleno, an area considered as one of the most dangerous places in Burlone, where the crime rate is unusually high in comparison to others. The Lao-Shu family has a reputation for resorting to violence. The third mafia organization, known as the Lao-Shu, is a branch of the Chinese Mafia who’s originally from the criminal organization called the “Liu Huang Hui”, an underground society of the Republic of China. They are known to have vast connections with other countries, such as America. Unlike the Falzone’s, they recruit members not through one’s heritage but according to one’s skills. In the southeast district of Burlone, known as ‘Creta’ resides the Visconti family, who’s originally founded by a group within the Falzone family who rallied against the bloodline rules and soon formed their own organization. ![]() Only those with the Falzone blood are assigned to their upper ranks. Their leaders are succeeded by direct descendants and inductions into their family are limited to Italian heritage only. ![]() It is a known fact that the Falzone held their bloodline sacred. We have the Falzone family, which controls the largest district known as ‘Falce’, an area that spans across 60% of Burlone. A place that’s known throughout the world as the “ backdoor to Europe” and a town prominently controlled by three mafia organizations. The story is set in the year 1925 and takes place in the fictional town of Burlone, Italy. If you are NOT comfortable with these particular aspects in fiction, this game is probably not for you. Be warned: Piofiore: Fated Memories has a very strong theme of violence, bloodshed and abuse. ![]()

El hijo de will smith8/1/2023 ![]() The Entertainment Software Rating Board rating is E - everyone. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II - adults and adolescents. The game contains mature themes and mild cartoonish violence. Playable on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia and Windows PC. The hand painted artwork and original music draw players still further into this fantastical version of the Old West. With nearly 30 levels to complete, “El Hijo” offers around 15 hours of gameplay and features easy control mechanics. The action includes some shootouts, moreover, but there are no graphic visual effects or deaths. But, at these moments, his shadow takes on a more sinister form: the stuffed animal is transformed into the silhouette of a gun. Some of the artwork shows El Hijo, seen in the light, with a teddy bear in his hand. ![]() But if an adult sees him in the open and catches him, the gamer will be sent back to his or her most recent checkpoint. The smallest sliver of shade will protect El Hijo from being spotted. Shadow and light play an important role in the game mechanics. Jarringly, though, others of the children he comes across are in cages, ready to be sold off for labor - until, that is, the intrepid little boy helps them escape.įor adult players, such incidents will serve as a reminder of the pervasiveness of modern-day slavery, an evil which Pope Francis discussed recently at the Seventh World Day of Prayer, Reflection and Action Against Human Trafficking. Some of the kids El Hijo encounters give him more toys to use on his quest, such as stink bombs, a spinning top and even small fireworks. He must move obstacles out of the way, avoid the grown-ups - including the well-meaning monks - and inspire other children to aid him in his effort to reunite with his mother. Leone’s fistful of dollars is exchanged for a fistful of stones as El Hijo, armed with only a slingshot and his wits, engages in playful mischief without evading the very real fears and concerns of a child lost in a world of adults. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board rating is E - everyone. This is a scene from the video game “El Hijo: A Wild West Tale.” The Catholic News Service classification is A-II - adults and adolescents. His journey takes him across three different environments: the busy religious community, a harsh desert and a frontier town brimming with untold dangers. The titular character, however, is unwilling to let Mom face her troubles alone, and sets out on an adventure. Some topics unsuited to small fry aside, accordingly, this is a family-friendly title that features unique art, an atmospheric soundtrack and cunning level designs.Īfter bandits burn their family homestead to the ground, a mother makes the difficult choice to leave her 6-year-old son in the safety of a monastery. While this stealth puzzle game’s visuals are inspired by Italian director Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns, it’s almost entirely free of the violence by which those films were often marked. NEW YORK (CNS) - “El Hijo: A Wild West Tale” (HandyGames) tells a charming and beautiful story centered on love. ![]() By Adele Chapline Smith | Catholic News Service ![]()

Spec Ops: The Line - A Literary Analysis Games As Literature 52.3K subscribers Subscribe 4.7K 85K views 1 year ago A deep dive into one of the medium's most divisive and evocative games to. There is some mouses smoothing and acceleration in games config file. But, if you let 'Konrad' shoot you or if you shoot yourself (same ending for doing these two), Konrad's corpse will show up. A Guide for Spec Ops: The Line By: field of vigrid A guide to correct whats expected from modern PC games. I just finished the game and I enjoyed it, but it felt weak and forced to me. ![]() except for the fact that, in the same place Walker is standing in, before this cutscene plays, is the corpse of the real Konrad sitting in a chair, nowhere to be seen now. The problem I saw with Spec Ops: The Line. It has been remembered as one of the most iconic anti-war shooter game. Replaying the game for the 4th time, i've noticed that at the end, if you choose to shoot 'Konrad', Walker will be radioing for evac with a view of the city of Dubai from the top of the Burj Khalifa, nothing really ordinary. Today, 10 Years Ago, Spec Ops: The Line was released and we were welcomed to dubai. The game is based on the book 'Heart of Darkness' and on the movie 'Apocalypse Now'. ![]() Also spoilers, of course.įor those who don't know, Spec Ops: The Line is a third person shooter game for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC released on 2012.

Approach to the inmost cave examples8/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Trinity meets Neo at the club and tantalizes him with cryptic talk of the Matrix and Morpheus Trinity, the Herald (9:42) Neo is brought to a club by his clients. I’ve made note of this as a technique – have the hero searching for something related to the world of adventure (probably without knowing the implications of their search), so that they have a clear motivation for entering the world of adventure when it presents itself. He doesn’t know that’s what he’s doing, but his search for Morpheus (and an answer to his later question, “What is the Matrix?”) drives him out of the ordinary world. This scene reveals that Neo is on a quest to find the world of adventure.This implies that it’s not that hard to avoid obvious info dumps – even two techniques, properly contrasted, are enough. The Wachowskis alternate the exposition style, and just by swapping between visuals and conversations they avoid the dreaded info-dump. Half tell, half show seems to be the magic ratio, and any telling is done by conversation.His conversation with his clients fill in any other necessary details. The atmosphere and objects in Neo’s apartment tell us a great deal about the character. This part of the story continues to build the world, half with visuals and half with conversation.Some of Neo’s illegal clients arrive and, heeding Trinity’s advice, he goes with them to a club. Trinity makes contact with him through his computer. His computer screen tells us he’s searching for Morpheus. Trinity and Morpheus could have simply described the exits in and out of the Matrix, but instead we watch Trinity racing for the ringing phone and disappearing seconds before the hijacked truck pulverizes it.įollow the white rabbit (6:35) We see Neo in his normal life as a lone hacker. Worldbuilding is best done by using what’s being introduced.Don’t be afraid to start the story without the main character and introduce them later.Conversations are better expositors than description, especially if there’s an interesting social dynamic between the speakers.This scene finishes the work that the opening dialogue started, introducing the villains, superpowers, and key features of the world (such as the exits in and out of the Matrix).The Agents and police chase Trinity (1:27) The police and Agents find Trinity and she must fight her way to the exit from the Matrix It earns bonus points by having the conversation between people who disagree. The exposition is kept interesting by presenting it through a conversation.It avoids the film faux-pas of having a narrator drone out backstory (or even worse, making the audience read a summary), while still explaining all the critical story elements in less than 40 seconds. ![]() This is an extraordinarily elegant scene.Morpheus believes he is the One (0:44) Trinity and Cypher talk about monitoring Neo while the machines try to trace their location. The film follows the hero’s journey archetype to a T, so I’m using the hero’s journey model as outlined in my post here. The Matrix has 75 scenes and there are 5 major characters: Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Agent Smith, and Cypher. ![]()

Textexpander 5 download8/1/2023 ![]() The TextExpander Insert menu in all it’s glory. You don’t need to memorize these macros, however – you can actually select these from inside the insert menu. Trimmed 24-hour clock number (“2” for 2 am, “14” for 2 pm)įor example, a snippet that would expand to Friday, Aug– PM would be written: Trimmed 12-hour clock number (“2” for 2 am or 2 pm) Here’s a table with all the different macro options for displaying date & time information:Ģ digit 12-hour clock number (“02” for 2 am or 2 pm)Ģ digit 24-hour clock number (“02” for 2 am or “14” for 2 pm) You can use TextExpander to put in times and dates using different macros for different formatting options. One of the most practical applications of TextExpander’s macros is for date & time stamping. In the rest of this post, I’m going to break these macros down individually and there’s a video example associated with each. Here’s a list of the different types of macros that are available in TextExpander: Keep in mind that you don’t need to actually memorize these macros as they can all be inserted using the Insert menu in TextExpander: The insert menu in TextExpander gives you access to the macros. There are several different types of macros in TextExpander. This is where the macros we’re going to discuss in this post can really come in handy. However, many times the text you end up typing repeatedly has variable or optional content. And if this was the only way you ever used TextExpander, the app would still be well worth the $35 list price because it would still save you a ton of time. So at its core, TextExpander is exactly what it sounds like – a program that expands text. For example, I have an abbreviation “xplan” that expands to the snippet of one of my favorite quotes, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail”. For example, an abbreviation like “tyvm” might expand to the the snippet “thank you very much”. In TextExpander terms, a “snippet” is what is displayed when you type the assigned TextExpander abbreviation. Thanh recently wrote about the basic features of TextExpander and how he uses it on a daily basis, and in this post I want to dive in a little deeper by showing you how you can use the different macro types that are available in TextExpander to create your own (and more complex) “snippets”. TextExpander is just one of several text expansion apps available for Mac, but amongst Mac nerds that I respect, TextExpander is widely considered the most popular and the most powerful. Primaryexamples are Terminal, iTerm 2, Emacs, and so on.TextExpander is a text expansion app for Mac created by Smile Software. Therefore, one has to be careful toexclude all applications where passwords and other sensitiveinformation might be entered but not marked as secure text. If you do that oftenenough and you have snippet suggestion turned on, then your passwordbecomes a suggested snippet. When you type yourpassword in the terminal, unless your terminal emulator is in the listof excluded apps, TextExpander will take note that you typed a certainstring, one that happens to be your password. Consider logging in to aremote server via SSH on the command line. Theseapplications can run arbitrary, cross-platform code that is notspecifically written for OS X and hence does not flag secure textentry in the way that OS X recognizes. Consider a terminal emulator like Terminalor iTerm 2, or a programmable text editor like Emacs. In other cases, it’s nearly impossible for OS X to know when securetext is being requested. Helping thousands of doctors make it home for dinner. Works on Windows Version: 5.5.4.0 Release date: 0.The first one is a classic application: Any little chunk of text you type a lot, things. The ability to share snippets with collaborators is priceless in an organization with people around the world using snippets 50+ times a day, we’re now easily able to manage, update, and standardize THOUSANDS of snippets. I absolutely love TextExpander 6, a definite improvement over version 5.Download Purchase in-app When TextExpander first launches, in the registration screen click Buy A License to purchase. TextExpander 5 for Mac: Private-network snippet storage Sync via Dropbox or iCloud Drive URL-based groups Purchase & Download TextExpander 5 for Mac: $44.95. Customers who must use private servers and private storage should use TextExpander 5 for Mac.It's possible to update the information on TextExpander or report it as discontinued, duplicated or spam. The list of alternatives was updated Jan 2020. TextExpander was added by Ola in Mar 2009 and the latest update was made in Aug 2019. ![]()

Download film the intruder 20198/1/2023 ![]() He brings a bit more sexual menace to it, but that’s what I was thinking while watching THE INTRUDER. ![]() He tears into the role of Charlie with gusto and is frankly quite unsettling in a way that I haven’t seen since Terry O’ Quinn in The Stepfather, a cult favorite in the horror genre. You know how they sometimes talk about a role that an actor plays that is against type, “See So and So like you’ve never seen So and So before!” Well, this is one of those kinds of roles and Dennis Quaid plays against his golden boy, hero type with a vengeance. Now I have to have a word about Dennis Quaid. They are people who you can understand and empathize with that aren’t cardboard cut-outs. They seem like real people with real flaws and that is something that is missing from a lot of thrillers of this type, frankly. Scott and Annie Howard are played by Michael Ealy and Meagan Good and do solid work as a loving couple with trust issues and past trauma. Scott becomes suspicious, but Annie feels bad for the man, and Scott starts to try and find a way to discover what exactly Charlie Peck the charmer is really up to. Charlie seems determined to worm his way into their personal lives and own the house despite his claims that he is moving soon. ![]() Despite Scott’s reservations, they buy the home and move in, but Charlie seems unwilling to part with the house and keeps turning up at the house at an increasingly alarming rate. ![]() They find what Annie considers her dream home in a remote area and is a house that is being sold by Charlie Peck, a charming but strangely intense widower. Scott and Annie Howard are a couple recovering from a serious breach of trust in their marriage and decide to find their dream home in Napa Valley, away from the corporate life that Scott lives while running his company in San Francisco. It is directed by Deon Taylor, whose previous films are Supremacy, Nite Tales, and Traffik, among others. There have been many iterations of the thriller about a beautiful couple whose lives and relationship are turned upside down by an obsessive and psychotic killer, why should you watch one more? Well, THE INTRUDER is a bit different, mostly in the performances and the turns that the story takes. ![]() |
