![]() ![]() ![]() Nintendo should take note - this is how you make a creative platformer! Ken Barnes (PS Vita) - Free via PlayStation Plus, so I'm going to see what all the fuss is about. Honestly can't see it being beaten for the Game of the Year award this year, it's just that good. But did I mention how Rayman Legends is brilliant on the Wii U in every way possible? Because that's important. Swapping between these two monstrosities will keep me busy for many weekends to come, I should think. Guild Wars 2, on the other hand, offers all the best things about questing with solid, exciting gameplay mechanics that I can sink my teeth into its hit-or-miss setting and poorly optimized engine can easily be excused for that. Despite a weakened challenge that reduces my enjoyment level to ashes, World of Wacraft has some of the most wonderful world design I've ever seen, so I'm perfectly content to wander Azeroth and put on my imaginary role-playing gloves to bring a character or six to life with my fellow players. I used to think playing two online RPGs at once was sheer madness, but these games have found very different places in my heart to settle, and there's room to share. Stephen Kelly After giving Pikmin 3 and a try (the latter of which impressed every fiber of my being), it's time I return to my beloved pair of MMOs for this weekend: World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2. Who knows…I’m even debating taking a couple days off to rest before GTA V shows up and consumes my life. Beyond that I’ll probably get in a little time with for 360, and maybe finish up on Vita. I actually haven’t played the game yet, so I’m pretty excited to learn what all the fuss is about. Tonight I have a date with my wife, a massive pizza, and. They're both as fun to watch as they are to play, and great ways to relax after a full day of driving! Dave Letcavage I’m afraid there’s not much Nintendo gaming on my schedule this weekend. Morgan Sleeper I'm in the middle of a cross-country drive at the moment, so I'm hoping for lots of StreetPass hits to use in the excellent new Plaza games - I'm getting rather proud of my gardens in Flower Town! I'll definitely be spending some passenger seat time in my Animal Crossing: New Leaf town of Twinseed, too - it's comforting to be able to keep returning to the same digital town during the big real-life move! I'm also hoping to play some more Layton Brothers: Mystery Room and with my fiancée. It's a great looking game that works so well on the Vita. What should I go for? Ron DelVillano This weekend is all about for me. I want to get a new Public Works Project started. I'm making good progress and I'm hoping to get a couple of chapters under my belt by the time Sunday draws to a close! Of course I'll still be dipping in and out of. I've finished the game once before but I started again from the beginning in an attempt to get all the fruit! It's truly a great game and it's fair to say I'm addicted to it! Speaking of addiction, I'm still playing through and I really want to spend some quality time with it this weekend. Andy Green This weekend I'll be catching up with Pikmin 3. ![]() I'll also continue with, which is the polar opposite of Pikmin 3 but equally enthralling. I also intend to continue my painfully slow but wonderfully enjoyable progress in I really am quite rubbish at it, which is unfortunate for my legions of Pikmin. Tom Whitehead I have a couple of review games to work on, namely and 'EMBARGOED'. Below are the weekend gaming plans of a fair few Nintendo Life staff members, with our regular visitors from also joining in. That's enough of this meandering intro, anyway. We don't think we'll ever be too old for some colourful Nintendo gaming, regardless, as fun is the name of the game we may dabble in more realistic or violent games, of course, but Mario's pretty violent himself. Does that mean we should all put on headsets, go for headshots and yell obscenities at random strangers we're playing against? Not really, as that's something often done in teenage years, anyway. After last time's, adulthood is around the corner. What started with such excitable promise became an irregular, grumpy visitor to the Nintendo Life servers, before a stern telling to brought it around to its new regular fortnightly slot. What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventeen - Talking Point Nintendo Life WGAYPTW (snappy, right?) gets closer to adulthood by Share: It's been a long journey for the What Games Are You Playing This Weekend series of articles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Afterward, Hercules tries to strike up a conversation with Meg, only to stammer throughout their first meeting, though it does little, but mildly amuse her. However, Hercules steps in on her behalf and saves her by defeating Nessus. Meg had attempted to recruit him in Hades's uprising. She is first introduced when she is being harassed by Nessus, who shows perverse interest in her. This leaves Meg feeling trapped, and she vowed to never fall in love again and became embittered towards men. Unfortunately, shortly afterward, he left her for some other woman, abandoning her and leaving her heartbroken and a prisoner of Hades. In the film, Meg sold her soul to Hades in order to save the life of her beloved boyfriend, who she was madly in love with. Not only that Megara is so very beautiful and attractive to the point that Hercules considered her to be more beautiful than Aphrodite herself. She wears a lavender Greek dress with golden straps, a long skirt with the hem ending just above her orange-sandaled feet, and two purple sashes a tight one under her bust to give her a tiny waist and a loosened one tied at her right side by a golden spiral pendant around her wide hips. She has purple eyes with lavender eyelids. Megara has a slender body with long, dark auburn hair tied into a high ponytail, with its most notable feature being the curly fringes on its tip. At the end of the episode, her memory is wiped, explaining how she and Hercules met 'for the first time' in the movie. Her attire is almost identical in this episode, except that her skirt is much shorter. In their first meeting in the episode Hercules and the Aetolian Amphora, Meg wants to forget all about her ex-boyfriend (later shown to be Prince Adonis) and shows very little to no remorse, but manipulate the young Hercules into helping her steal a jar of Lethe water. ![]() Meg is afraid of heights, but overcomes her fear at the end of the film in order to save Hercules. While Hercules falls for her at first sight, far from falling for him on the spot, she seduces him with her good looks, and then she dismisses him as putting on an 'innocent farm boy routine' and it is not until they spend actual time together that she begins to develop feelings for him. Meg has a very low opinion of men in general since most of her experiences with them have been negative. She plays enough of a heroic part in the movie to be classed as a heroine, rather than just a romantic interest. She is also cynical, snarky, and world-weary, making her atypical among Disney's lead females. Meg is a free-spirited, independent, and quick-witted woman who is also hurt and bitter due to having her heart broken by her boyfriend in the past. Though voice actors typically record their dialogue separately, Egan actually shared some of her recording sessions with Tate Donovan and James Woods, who voiced Hercules and Hades, respectively. However, the casting team could not find anyone suitable for the role of Meg and allowed Egan to audition despite any previous hesitation. She was ironically cast as Belle in the theatre adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, a role that nearly tarnished her chances of portraying Meg because the two characters were so vastly different from each other. Susan Egan began auditioning for roles in Disney animated features as early as Beauty and the Beast, released in 1991. Animators also looked to Susan Egan's body gestures during recording sessions to add nuance to Meg's animation. Gerald Scarfe and Duncan looked to Greek pottery to figure out the shape of Meg's body. ![]() Ken Duncan was Meg's supervising animator the animator that was initially given the assignment had left the studio to work for DreamWorks early in production on Hercules. Her personality was greatly inspired by actress Barbara Stanwyck, specifically her roles in 1940s comedies such as The Lady Eve and Ball of Fire. The Disney iteration loosely took from this by casting Megara as Hercules' love interest, the Lois Lane to Hercules' Superman. Megara is a character that originates from Greek mythology, the wife of Heracles. According to a brief exchange, however, Hades held some amount of sympathy for Meg's plight and was open to subtracting years from her sentence based on her performances in the field. Having become jaded and cynical as a result of her past, Meg upheld her end of the bargain by assisting Hades in his quest to take over the cosmos. Since then, she's had trouble trusting others and finding the courage to love again. Her boyfriend was revived, as agreed, but he heartlessly left Meg for another woman shortly thereafter. To save him, she sold her soul and offered servitude to Hades, God of the Underworld. She deeply cherished the relationship she shared with her boyfriend, who one day lost his life. In her youth, Meg was romantic and open to giving love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Such chatbots learn as they interact with more customers, and require some advanced training in the early stages.

All in all not a very strong choice for Shamans. Nature Resistancereduces the chance to be hit by nature spells. Endurance provides a passive increase to Base Health Points. War Stomp is a 2 second stun with a 2 minute cooldown that is quite strong in PvP. The remaining racial buffs, Bow Specialization and Throwing Specialization, don't benefit Shamans at all as they can't equip either of those weapons. Berserking is known as a mini Heroism/Bloodlust as it increases the attack and casting speed for a small duration Da Voodoo Shuffle passively reduces the duration of movement impairing effects. Beast Slaying passively increases damage dealt to beasts, very few raid bosses are beasts. Troll Regenerationpassively increases the rate of health regeneration, even while in combat.

![]() ![]() They said it was more a steady-Eddie than it was lightning quick, but they praised the way they could count on this one for a powerful, smooth descent regardless of how they might have gotten to the top, whether by chairlift or sweat equity. Not only has the women's Ranger gotten the highest scores of the Freeride medium width group for Anatomical Fit and Initial Feel, it has also outscored every Freeride boot in that criterion, regardless of its width group.īankable, regular and reliable from turn to turn, on every kind of terrain and snow surface is how testers described the lady Ranger. ![]() ![]() They liked how easy it went on and off and that it buckled up in a straightforward, alpine sorta way without goofy overlaps and ladder straps. They repeatedly give it very even fit scores throughout the lower boot and upper cuff, meaning that it grabbed the foot and leg with a firm grip but in a contoured way that didn't offend bony bits or wide spots. Our test team continues to place this right between a medium and narrow-so pretty much what you'd expect from a 99 mm last. Its sneaky hike mode switch location remains a tester fave. Fitwise it remains one of those tight-mediums, testers say, right on target for a 99mm last and ideal for average to slender calves. This year the Ranger 115 W returns with an updated cam buckle power strap, a stronger lower shell and slightly stiffer build, making it even more appealing to those demanding a dominant descent-and it manages to simultaneously increase the smoothness of an already friction free touring mode. Another just said, I want this boot! For two years in a row, the women's Ranger has been on the podium for its gold medal pairing of stunning range of motion in hike mode (best in test) with true Alpine descent qualifications, all wrapped in a noticeably lightweight package. This boot checks a lot of boxes, one tester said. ![]() ![]() ![]() The interface allows for handling large arrangement projects with coloring and using icons to differentiate between them.Ĭubase, on the other hand, has a steep learning curve. The mixer section is located at the bottom with editor functions and the main control bar on top. This includes presets and software instruments on the far left followed by the main arrangement window. The software is easy to use compared to Cubase because everything is arranged properly. Logic Pro’s interface is very user-friendly and easy for a beginner. Logic Pro, on the other hand, is more well known among songwriters and musicians. Although you can do all kinds of music production on both Logic Pro and Cubase, music composers and directors like Hans Zimmer preferably use Cubase because of its excellent scoring and notation capabilities.Logic Pro, on the other hand, offers software support like GarageBand compatibility and Logic Remote apps for iPhone and iPad. They include audio interfaces like UR and AR series as well as Cubase controller CC121. Hardware resources for Cubase are much more diverse.This feature can be used to collaborate with other artists in real-time. Cubase offers a separate VST plugin called VST transit and VST connect 5 (not included in Cubase Element).The Artist option is mainly for songwriters and bedroom musicians, and the Element option is mainly aimed at beginners. The Pro version is focused on Professional Studio setups. Logic Pro is a one-and-done deal whereas, in Cubase, you choose among three options: Pro, Artist, and Element. There is one version of Logic Pro, whereas there are 3 versions of Cubase with different pricing.Although you get great stock plugins with Cubase, they are not as capable as Logic Pro’s for songwriting and producing. The stock plugins (Instruments, effects MIDI plugins), on the other hand, are excellent in Logic Pro.With Logic Pro, however, you must go in or add a plugin to make changes in the sound according to your taste. The channel strip modules in Cubase offer quick functions of Compression, Limiting, and EQ without even adding any stock or external plugins. Compared to Cubase’s channel strip, Logic Pro has a very basic channel strip.Logic Pro only supports AU format plugins whereas Cubase supports VST2-VST3 and AU formats (AU plugins only ever work on Mac though). ![]() Logic Pro is exclusively available on macOS.

When the agent is applied and the light shone on it, the light speeds up the whitening process. It’s the application of a solution containing peroxide that makes the difference. It’s important to note that the light itself does nothing. LED lights are another way to whiten your teeth. White strips are also very affordable compared to other options, making them a popular choice with consumers. The gel is already on the strips, so there’s no work involved on your end. Look for one that uses thermal-form technology so that it molds to fit your teeth for as tight a fit as possible.Īlthough trays can do a great job, many people prefer the convenience of whitening strips, which you slip on the teeth for a short time period, then toss in the trash. The dentist custom builds a mouthpiece to fit your mouth, but technology has made it easier for manufacturers to create a tray that conforms. Whitening trays are similar to the ones you’ll get at the dental office at a fraction of the price. But with so many options, it can be tough to choose just one. Fortunately, there are plenty of much more affordable options, most of which are available over-the-counter at any drugstore. Teeth whitening is more popular than ever, but you’ll pay hundreds of dollars to have the treatment done through your dentist. ![]() |
