Robotek ctats4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() I then went back and played it again after watching the first half of the series. ![]() I actually played Ace Pilot before watching a single episode of Robotech. I know, I usually go over the theme first. Pudlisher: Japanime Games, Strange Machine Games As not to spoil my final thoughts, let’s get right to it. Playing new games with characters that I’m just starting to get to know. This publisher is Japanime Games and two of the games on their list were Robotech: Ace Pilot and Robotech: Attack on the SDF-1.Īs I’ve started playing these games, I’ve also started watching through The Macross Saga for the first time. I recently saw a publisher looking for reviewers for some of their games. But, it’s been sitting on my shelf for over a year, waiting to be watched. It’s acted as inspiration for so many giant/transforming mech concepts that have come out since. So, it’s no real surprise that I picked up Robotech: The Macross Saga a while back on DVD. My children have introduced me to the world of Studio Ghibli (Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo are my favorites). The Samurai Pizza Cats is hands-down my favorite anime of all time. Speed Racer will always have a soft spot in my heart. I love Trigun, Gungrave, and FLCL as I discovered those in my late teenage years. I can discuss the mainstays like Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, and Gundam Wing in some capacity. While I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur of anime, I am versed enough to carry a conversation. But what happens when I get games to review, that have giant robots, but are themed around a show I haven’t watched? Well, ladies and gentlemen, that’s sounds like the perfect excuse to dive in to a new show. But playing board games with giant robots? Ah, that is a dream I can realize. ![]() While I do prefer my entertainment choices to have a certain percentage of giant robot content, I can’t possibly watch EVERY television show or movie that comes out about giant robots. ![]()

Pokemon sleep attacks4/1/2023 ![]() ![]() This glutton appears in villages without warning and devours the entirety of their rice granaries-such occurrences have long been counted among the gravest of disasters. ![]() This Pokémon’s stomach is so strong, even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it. Even if you climb up on its stomach while it’s napping, it doesn’t seem to mind at all! Dark Void has 85 accuracy and hits both of your opponents Pokemon in a double. It has no interest in anything other than eating. Dark Void and Lovely Kiss are the only other moves that can put Pokemon to sleep. When prompted to make a serious effort, though, it apparently displays awesome power. It doesn’t do anything other than eat and sleep. It starts nodding off while eating-and continues to eat even while it’s asleep. It eats nearly 900 pounds of food every day. Even Muk’s poison is nothing more than a hint of spice on Snorlax’s tongue. Its stomach is said to be incomparably strong.

A Pokémon can make a move the turn they wake up now. It is such a docile Pokémon that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play. Sleep is exactly the same as Pokémon Stadium, save for one change. Snorlax’s typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. When its belly is full, it becomes too lethargic to even lift a finger, so it is safe to bounce on its belly. It doesn’t feel full unless it eats nearly 900 pounds a day.

Its stomach’s digestive juices can dissolve any kind of poison. What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly. Put Em to Sleep Pokémon which can be asleep or frozen are more straightforward to capture than the ones. Lovely Kiss and Sleep Powder are tied for 2nd most accurate, and should be considered very seriously for the Pokémon that learn them. Secondary Effect: Effect Rate: Uses an own random move while asleep. Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. Spore is the most accurate sleep attack, and is far and away the best reason to train a Parasect. Battle Effect: While it is asleep, the user randomly uses one of the moves it knows. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful. Sleep, also known as Asleep and Sleeping, abbreviated to SLP, is a Status Effect that prevents a Pokmon from attacking. ![]()

Evoland 2 wind sword3/31/2023 ![]() ![]() my strats so far have been to full-buy archers, because they one-shot other archers (not the demon archers though) catapults and wizards. But by far the worst is that archers and Fina can one-shot catapults, but they can also get low rolls and hit a 9. You can help the Final Fantasy Wiki by expanding it. Evoland 2 TRAILER is out by Kurunya on DeviantArt. This section about equipment in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is empty or needs to be expanded. Zelda Video Games, Retro Video Games, Skyward Sword, Zelda Skyward. I'm going to start trying to route out good strats for the tactics section, because it has some frustration stuff. Buster Sword (KH) is a Great Sword STMR obtained from Cloud (KH), providing +180 ATK, is Two-Handed, has a damage variance of 100-160, and gives +50 Accuracy. However you can still use menos as bomb and if you chrush the wall in the entrance behin the guards right side you can 'remove Menos' and get bombs instead. (by far the easiest to kill the wizards with) Completing the mine removes the bombs, so yes, youll be able to challenge him at this point (and later). But by far the worst is that archers and Fina can one-shot catapults, but they can also get low rolls and hit a 9.

Also, friendly reminder that you should use time stop on Ceres phase one so that you can finish her in 2 cycles, because I kept forgetting that. Start at 7:21:00 for context, glitchy stuff starts ~1 minute later, eventually leading to text covering the screen. I had some very interesting occurrences however, at one point causing a bunch of error messages across the screen making it hard to see. I only had one softlock, on the second electric-floor fight in the lab. But seeing how much I screwed up the Plum fight, I should probably be caring about my survival more. The reason I try to get the house quickly is that you can then get dalkin's medal while getting the 5 keys in town, which does save time as you don't have to go back to genova at all later. It is also a real RPG at heart, with a deep scenario based on time travel: explore different eras and change the history of the world.

You’ll be jumping through generations and time itself in this RPG adventure. Here's the routing I have for now, assuming you buy the house AND get the medal (as well as talk to cid, obviously) before the great disaster. Evoland 2 is finally on mobile and, wow, this is a much bigger and more substantial game than what we’ve seen before. I don't think the glitch actually helps anything, since you want to to a good amount of stuff in the past before going to the present. Inspired by many cult series that have left their mark in the RPG video gaming culture, Evoland takes you from monochrome to full 3D graphics and from active time battles to real time boss fights, all with plenty of humor and references to many classic games.I'd experienced that glitch too, though I wasn't paying attention to what caused it at the time (can confirm now that it works from any era, and also works on the most current patch.)

Trump never read a book3/31/2023 ![]() Habba did not immediately comment Wednesday. The transcript excerpts in four dozen pages released Wednesday came a week after several dozen other pages were unsealed by the court. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, interjected to say: “No, that’s Carroll.” That’s my wife,” Trump answered, according to the transcript, apparently referring to Marla Maples, who he married several years after the picture was taken. “You’re saying Marla is in this photo?” Kaplan asked. Trump pointed at Carroll in the picture and said: “It’s Marla.” Kaplan also asked Trump about the black and white photograph that shows him with Carroll, her husband, and Trump’s then-wife, Ivana Trump, who died last July at age 73. ![]() I’ve never seen the book actually,” he responded. He said a photograph showing him with Carroll and both of their spouses at an event in 1987 was apparently an unmemorable encounter on a receiving line.Ĭarroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, asked Trump if he read the book or any portion of it. He also said he had never met Carroll and dismissed her as “not my type.” Portions of the transcript of Trump’s deposition were ordered unsealed in court records by a judge who would preside over a trial.Ĭarroll, a former longtime Elle magazine advice columnist, accused Trump in the book of attacking her in an upscale Manhattan department store in late 1995 or early 1996 after they ran into each other by chance and exchanged lighthearted banter about who should try on a piece of lingerie.Īfter the book was published, Trump said the encounter never happened and claimed Carroll was making it up to fuel book sales. During his 5 1/2-hour deposition, Trump said he hasn’t read Carroll’s book, “What Do We Need Men For?” and didn’t see excerpts of it in a New York magazine article when the book was released in 2019. Trump was questioned under oath in October by lawyers for Carroll, who is suing the Republican.

Lroc quickmap3/31/2023 ![]() Using 3-dimensional images produced from LROC, I’m hoping to make measurements of how thick the pyroclastic deposits on the Moon are so I can work out what volcanic eruptions on the Moon were like, millions to billions of years ago. These deposits were produced by explosive volcanic activity on the surface of the Moon, similar to eruptions produced at Stromboli, Italy. LRO’s Diviner instrument was used to do this and was successful in confirming the presence of water in Cabeus crater, which was an influential discovery for igniting interest in lunar water and for planning future missions.įor my PhD work, I’m planning on using LRO images to look at pyroclastic deposits on the Moon’s surface. NASA hoped that the plume of material that was thrown up after the impact could be analysed for water. On October 9 th 2009, another spacecraft LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) impacted the surface of the Moon after a fuel malfunction. You can explore the surface of the Moon yourself using a tool called Quickmap.Īnother amazing discovery that LRO was involved in was confirming water in the lunar crater, Cabeus. ![]() Using the narrow-angle cameras, scientists have been able to make 3-dimensional maps of the Moon’s surface, which has been incredibly valuable for understanding the geology of the Moon and for planning future landing sites for missions. Some of the images have an impressive resolution of 0.5 m per pixel, including images of the Apollo landing sites. One of the greatest achievements of LRO is the fact that it has mapped over 98.2 % of the Moon’s surface, using LROC. The LROC QuickMap data visualization tool just underwent a major revamp Now known as Quickmap 3D, the tried and true tool is even more powerful New exciting updates include: 3D Support. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC): a camera system with two narrow-angle cameras and one wide-angle camera. A 'Quickmap 3D' view of the lunar nearside with the NAC Anaglyph locations layer turned on.Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA): an instrument that measures the height of the Moon’s surface in order to create topographic maps.Diviner: measures lunar surface thermal emission.Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER): measures radiation across the Moon’s surface. ![]() There’s a huge suite of instruments onboard LRO, including: As of 2019, NASA calculated that LRO would have enough fuel to continue for at least 7 more years, so well into the 2020s! The main aim of LRO has been to gather images and information about the Moon, in order to inform future human and robotic missions. LRO launched on June 18 th 2009 so has been operating for over 11 years and 5 months. ![]() The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA mission that is currently orbiting the Moon. Far-flung ejecta (32.7°N, 99.7☎) from the Giordano Bruno impact event raced across a small mare deposit, leaving bright streaks and clues to the details of crater ray formation. ![]()

The dawn of the black hearts3/30/2023 ![]() And I always… champion that in my heart…” Nocturno Culto similarly stated on The Peaceville Podcast: “… we were destined to make the blackest black metal album ever released… That was our actual goal…”īecause Peaceville Records was in no hurry to receive a second black metal experiment after failing to understand A Blaze, Darkthrone had the time they needed to craft the ambitious project that is Under a Funeral Moon. ![]() On The Thomas Eriksen Podcast, Fenriz explained: “… that’s the best black metal we did - the only total black metal album we did. Thus, it is Under a Funeral Moon that marks the full realization of Darkthrone’s vision: Fenriz has described Under a Funeral Moon as the band’s “only pure” black metal record. Yet, the crazy truth is that A Blaze actually consists of three blackened death metal songs in addition to three actual black metal tracks. Darkthrone’s revolt against technicality and desire to “go primitive” continues to resonate, inspiring listeners and artists alike. Tulus, for example, formed after Sarke witnessed the rehearsals for that album. A Blaze literally caused jaws to drop and young musicians to follow Darkthrone’s lead. This is quite an achievement considering that BM is often referred to as Norway’s biggest cultural export. Under a Funeral Moon and the two records that came before and afterward - A Blaze in the Northern Sky (1992) and Transilvanian Hunger (1994) - constitute Darkthrone’s “Unholy Trinity.” These blasphemous offerings represent Darkthrone’s rebellion against death metal, which had degenerated into “life metal.”Īll metalheads should know that the revolutionary A Blaze in the Northern Sky (1992) is regarded as the very first True Norwegian Black Metal album. Still, the original always beats the copies and Darkthrone still reigns supreme. In Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult (2013), author Dayal Patterson correctly called Darkthrone one of the two “most directly influential outfit in the genre.” Without Darkthrone’s groundbreaking contributions, black metal simply wouldn’t sound as it does today. ![]() Remarkably raw, cold, and grim, Under a Funeral Moon will always be remembered for its excellence and defining role in the history of heavy music. Featuring Fenriz, Nocturno Culto, and Zephyrous, the band’s third record continues to serve as a high water mark. For an album that set the gold standard for black metal in the early ’90s, Darkthrone’s third album Under a Funeral Moon is a timeless and canonical record of that time. ![]() |
