![]() On the tweaking front, a few of the changes are immediately apparent. Rather than fixing the unbroken, then, EA has opted to update Tiger Woods in two key ways - tweaks, and additions. Indeed, the most common criticism applied to the series is that it often fails to change much between iterations, a critique which looks a little flaccid when reviewers proceed to admit that there isn't much that needs changing. Xbox 360 / Playstation 3įor the "next-gen" console versions of Tiger Woods, the team at Tiburon inherited a unique challenge - namely the fact that there has been, arguably, remarkably little actually broken in the franchise for some time. With only weeks remaining in that cycle (the game is due out in Europe in early September), we took a swing at both the Xbox 360 and Wii versions. Giving the team room to breathe a little, EA's powers-that-be handed then an 18 month development cycle (compared to 11 to 13 months even for huge games like FIFA and Madden). More importantly, though, moving to Tiburon allowed a new development team - many of whom had cut their teeth on massive franchises like Madden - a chance to inherit the well-respected series and try out some new ideas. ![]() Florida, as the developers are keen to point out, is the home of professional golf in the USA (Tiger himself lives just six miles down the road from the studio), with 180 courses in the city of Orlando alone. Golf's ascendance into the ranks of the world's favourite sports videogames has been rapid, and without continually delivering innovation and progress, its descent from grace could be equally rapid.Īt least in part, it's that pursuit of innovation which was behind the decision, almost two years ago, to move the Tiger Woods franchise from its original home at EA's Redwood studios to the studio in Tiburon, Florida. That his name adorns the most successful golfing franchise is no coincidence it's no more and no less than his right.Įven with Tiger's face grinning out of the packaging, however, EA can't afford to rest on its laurels with a franchise like Tiger Woods. Tiger turned around a sport traditionally seen as the preserve of rich white men with sagging paunches, making it fresh and interesting to a whole generation of young people - exactly the kind of young people who play videogames. Not EA Sports' licensed series which carries his name, but the golfer himself - young, handsome, dashing, so multi-ethnic that it'd make your head spin, enormously successful, and as a result, quite astonishingly rich. Ranging in seriousness from the cartoonish, arcade efforts of Sony's Everybody's Golf and Nintendo's Wii Sports through to the detailed simulation of today's subject, EA Sports' Tiger Woods franchise, golf games have ballooned out of their curious cultural niche to become a mainstream form of entertainment. However, the success of said games suggests that there are plenty of people who would disagree with Twain's assertion. Were he alive today, it seems unlikely that he'd be terribly impressed with the steady rise of golfing videogames over the past few years - a development which actually removes all of the walking from the equation entirely. Golf, Mark Twain once observed, is a good walk spoiled.

Trade in the Mediterranean was at its lowest level in history when the Vikings began their expansion. Trade between western Europe and the rest of Eurasia may have suffered after the Roman Empire lost its western provinces in the 5th century, and the expansion of Islam in the 7th century may have reduced trade opportunities within western Europe by redirecting resources along the Silk Road. It is also possible that a decline in the profitability of old trade routes drove the Vikings to seek out new, more profitable ones. Nor is it clear why such pressures would have prompted expansion overseas rather than into the vast, uncultivated forest areas in the interior of the Scandinavian Peninsula, although perhaps emigration or sea raids may have been easier or more profitable than clearing large areas of forest for farm and pasture in a region with a limited growing season.Īn idea that avoids these shortcomings is that the Scandinavians might have practiced selective procreation leading to a shortage of women, and that the Vikings main motive for emigration was to acquire wives, although this would not explain why the Vikings chose to settle in other countries rather than bringing the women back with them to Scandinavia. However, no rise in population, youth bulge, or decline in agricultural production during this period has been definitively demonstrated. Peter Sawyer suggests that most Vikings emigrated due the attractiveness of owning more land rather than the necessity of having it. This may have been true of western Norway, where there were few reserves of land, but it is unlikely the rest of Scandinavia was experiencing famine.Īlternatively, some scholars propose that the Viking expansion was driven by a youth bulge effect: since the eldest son of a family customarily inherited the family's entire estate, younger sons had to seek their fortune by emigrating or engaging in raids. However, the first target of Viking raids was not the Frankish Kingdom, but Christian monasteries in England, which seems inconsistent with vengeance as a motive but would be consistent with religious warfare.Īnother idea is that the Viking population had exceeded the agricultural potential of their homeland. The historian Rudolf Simek has observed, "It is not a coincidence if the early Viking activity occurred during the reign of Charlemagne." Those who favor this explanation point out that the penetration of Christianity into Scandinavia caused serious conflict and divided Norway for almost a century. ![]() One widely held idea is that it was a quest for retaliation against continental Europeans for their previous invasions of Viking homelands, such as Charlemagne's campaign to force Scandinavian pagans to convert to Christianity by killing any who refused to become baptized. There is much debate among historians about what drove the Viking expansion. ![]() If you don't know how to do that just google the name of your AV (Windows Defender is the default) together with "add exclusion".

Many critics and publications regarded it as one of the greatest video games of all time. Spelunky received critical acclaim for its gameplay, atmosphere and design, though some controls and multiplayer elements polarized critics. Due to its popularity, it was the influence for many later roguelike games. Spelunky was one of the first games to borrow concepts from roguelikes and combine them with real-time side-scrolling platformer elements. A sequel, Spelunky 2, was released in September 2020. A port for Nintendo Switch was released on August 26, 2021. A fanmade, ChromeOS version of the original game was made as well, titled Spelunky HTML5. The remake was also made available on Xbox One via backward compatibility in December 2015. The enhanced version was later released for Windows and PlayStation 3 in August 2013, and for PlayStation 4 in October 2014. ![]() An enhanced version for Xbox Live Arcade was released on July 4, 2012.

The most interesting part of the story is somewhere around the half-way point where Kane becomes Stroggified and because he is saved before the neurocyte in his head is activated, he can still fight with the Marines. The story isn’t anything spectacular, however it is somewhat interesting just due to actual voice acting and the performances are serviceable. During the invasion, the squad ship is shot down and crashes on the planet forcing Kane to locate his squad members while also participating in the assault. The Squad is sent on a mission to secure the Strogg’s home planet Stroggos. Taking place after the Strogg leader known as the Makron was defeated at the end of Quake II, the story in Quake 4 centers on silent protagonist Marine Corporal Matthew Kane who joins Rhino Squad. You can also download Sikkmod separately to enhance vanilla game. False Dawn contains a new storyline, levels, new health and weapon damage systems, and it actually comes with Sikkmod to give it a more modern look. I will also be taking a look at the False Dawn mod. ![]() I believe many of these aspects can be fixed or adjusted by messing with the configuration files but the Tweaker makes it easier. To get this running properly, I used the Quake 4 Tweaker which allows you change the FPS limit, filed of view, despawn time of corpses, force custom resolutions, and it fixes texture issues on modern hardware. Developed by Raven Software and published by Activision, Quake 4 was released for PC in October, 2005, which is the version I played for this review, and Xbox 360 in November of that same year. Quake II included a brand new storyline that would be continued in Quake 4 and Quake III Arena is strictly a multiplayer-focused title as is Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Quake Live which is an updated version of Quake III, and the most recent title, Quake Champions. It was inspired by dark fantasy influences and has a very unique atmosphere and aesthetic that really hasn’t been matched in any games since in my opinion. The first Quake is the outcast only because its vastly different than its successors. There are only three games in the series to date with full blown single player and that’s the original Quake, Quake II, and Quake 4. Change the enemies and hazards you will face based on which objectives you complete.At this point, I would say Quake is primarily a multiplayer franchise. Guided Non-Linear Gameplay: You have multiple objectives to complete, in whatever order you want.New Weapon Damage system: Machineguns/Shotguns might decimate soft, fleshy targets, but you will need something more powerful to penetrate the armor of the very well equipped Strogg Forces!.New Health system: Use Stroyent, The Stroggs own energy source against them!.However, for an unknown reason the player also seems to intercept transmissions between a duo of powerful Strogg's that are clearly not meant for human ears. Full Voice acting: The player is guided by their helpful Commanding Officer General Nokes.Meaningful Story: Get engrossed in a plot to destroy humanity that is not as black and white as it may first appear.False Dawn brings Quake 4 into 2014 with contemporary visual effects techniques designed specifically for the mod. Modern Visual Fidelity: Powered by purpose built version of the immensely popular Sikkmod. ![]() ![]() You can help Quake Wiki by expanding it or adding information and helping us all.įalse Dawn is a single-player modification of Quake IV. The Makron demands that this page has attention! ![]() It is controlled by muscles in the leech's head that let it sit further back in the throat and move forward into position when the leech opens its mouth. The 'beak' is very dexterous!Ĭlinger - Mimicking the functionality and form of the creatures that leeches are named after, the clinger variation features one tooth in the shape of a solid, serrated ring. Squid-toothed leeches are experts at piercing holes in things, whether it be hard shells, seafood, containers, or plastic recycling bins. These leeches will always have an overbite, and the top tooth is visible when the mouth is closed. Squid - the teeth in this leech's mouth have developed into a single point on the upper and lower jaw, resembling the beak of a squid. It is considered undesired trait in most pets and mounts, especially if the individual displays nipping tendencies - careless saw teeth can easily remove a finger or take a bite out of a limb. Saw-toothed leeches are very effective at stripping meat from bones and will happily tear through the carcass of their prey. Saw - A mutation where points have grown across the whole tooth rather than just at the ends, creating the appearance of a mouth full of teeth. Despite the harmless sounding name, its always best to double check the sharpness of a whale leech's teeth when shopping for a new companion. While the progenitors this trait type had flat herbivorous teeth, breedings with wild leeches have resulted in the tooth becoming sharp across the whole edge like a cleaver. Whale - A flat-toothed variant originally bred for owners who wanted 'safe' leeches that didn't look as gummy as the toothless variety. Leeches with this type of mouth feed similarly to constrictors and other snakes by swallowing their prey whole. While a toothless leech can't puncture skin or damage fingers, a bite from one can still bruise terribly or break bones with enough force behind it. Toothless - A variant with no teeth, popular amongst leeches raised for pelting and pets. ![]() Leech mouths typically exhibit either an underbite or overbite to compensate for the shape of their teeth, and the sharp points are used for piercing flesh to draw blood, which serves as the leech's main diet. Vampire - The classic mouth features a characteristic cat shaped lip and a single concave blade-like tooth on the upper and lower jaw. Teeth can be any color! All leech teeth change color when feeding. Mouth traits that have a ' +' next to them are jaw traits, which means they can be matched with teeth traits. ![]() Squid Dissection Snipping through the squids mantle is not confined to the.

Squid School Education Grader Hunter Erwin Griffin Hillenbrand Dissection Fourth Grade Cheyenne Loomis Garth Mccaleb Ben Lonergan Regional Visuals Editor Ben Lonergan is a photojournalist. Squid can be purchased frozen from grocery stores, or ordered from biological supply companies, and even Amazon. Students remove the ink sac and attempt to write their name with the squid’s ink. Arrange the squid so that its dorsal end is pointing toward you and its anterior surface is facing upward. Locate the head, eyes, beaks (mouth), arms (8), two longer feeding tentacles, fins, mantle, and skin. Make sure the tentacles and arms are towards you. This means put the side with the funnel down and the fin side up. Students use dissecting scissors (no scalpel) to reveal internal structures like the gills, stomach and gonads are easy to observe. Place a squid in a dissecting tray and identify the dorsal, ventral, anterior and posterior parts of the squid. Place the squid with the dorsal (back) side up in the dissecting pan. They can even find the esophagus attached to the buccal mass. After external structures are found, students can explore the buccal mass and remove the jaw. This dissection guide starts with the external anatomy where students identify main structures, like the arms, tentacles, jaws, and eyes. Determine the dorsal (back) side of the squid by looking for a darker coloration and the presence of fins. Rinse the squid off and lay it in a dissecting pan. The luminescent squids bear numerous light organs, which may be for recognition and for attracting prey ( see also bioluminescence ). In some species the young resemble the adults at hatching, while in others there is a planktonic larval stage. Beginning biology students can easily open the mantle of the squid to reveal internal structures. Step 1: Examine the External Anatomy of the Squid Squids are shipped in bags and are stored in a preservative, when you first open the bag, you might notice a pungent aroma. Some attach their eggs to floating weeds and others to the ocean bottom. I prefer the squid over earthworms because it is so much easier to see the organs. One of the first dissections my students complete is on the squid. ![]() I will update Citygare with more tips and tricks, so please bookmark Citygare.

Investment casting is an expensive and labor-intensive process used to produce gears, bicycle trunks, moto discs, and blasting machine spare parts. Investment casting is also referred to as lost-wax casting. N this method, a wax pattern is combined with refractory material and a binding agent to create a disposable ceramic mold, which is then filled with molten metal to create metal castings. ![]() Products produced by this process have a rough surface finish.Using this method for products with established size and weight specifications is challenging.Compared to alternative methods, it is less accurate.It can process metals with high melting points, like steel and titanium.This process enables the casting of both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.This method makes it simple to fabricate large components.It has relatively low production costs, especially when producing in small quantities.It is the most economical production process. It can be used for all types of metals, but the surface finish and dimensional accuracy are not good compared with other casting processes. Molding machines not only increase the production cost but also improve the casting quality by enhancing the application and distribution of forces for ramming. For complicated castings, the sand mixture is compacted by molding machines. Hand ramming of sand around the pattern is used for simple casting. This is an expendable mold-permanent pattern casting process. The sand casting process involves using a furnace, metal, pattern, and sand mold. It is the most extensively and widely used types of casting process. When the mould is used repeatedly, it is made of metal or graphite and is called a permanent mould.ĭon’t Miss: Understand Different Types of Unconventional Machining Processes Types of Metal Casting Processįollowing are the different types of casting process used for large-scale production:.These are used for the production of smaller quantities.Such moulds are called expandable moulds since they are destroyed while making out of casting. When the mould is used for single casting, it is made of sand.The modern casting process is subdivided into two main categories: expendable and non-expendable (Permanent) casting.Read Also: Cast Iron: properties, Effects of Impurities, Types Classification of Casting Process In non-expendable casting, it includes permanent mould casting, dies casting, semi-solid metal casting, centrifugal casting, continuous casting. In expendable casting, it includes sand casting, shell casting, plaster mould casting, investment casting, and evaporative-pattern casting. The modern casting process is divided into two main categories: Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. ![]() The mould material is generally sand or metal and the pouring method may use gravity, vacuum, low or high pressure. The casting processes differ from each other basically in the type of material used for the preparation of the mould and the method of pouring the molten material. Many casting processes are available and the choice of a process for producing particular parts depends on such factors as production cost, production rate, size, shape, and surface finish.
