![]() None of that, even the XP and DLC stuff, has much of an effect on the game. It’s cluttered and wants me to upload my failures and successes, or to paint a tank, or to preorder something or other. It looks more like a digital storefront than an actual game, advertising its (cosmetic) wares, double experience events and broadcasting possibilities. I debated whether or not it was worth writing a short paragraph about a bloody menu, but here I am, writing that paragraph. More men for the meatgrinder and no reason to care for the consequences. I actually scribbled ‘Call of Duty RTS’ on a piece of paper after following another arrow to another target and realising, once again, that constant reinforcements meant there was no danger or risk. There are times during the campaign when Company of Heroes 2 is so determined to show the scale and set pieces of war that the player takes the role of spectator, following the occasional signpost and using or collecting equipment as and when a commander swearily barks instructions.Īll of this combined to make my first impressions underwhelming. ![]() The sense of engaging in a skirmish or defensive action that is only part of an incomprehensible whole is as convincing as I’ve ever seen, sometimes distractingly so. The constant stream of allies and enemies pouring across many of the campaign maps, the planes and mortars shrieking overhead, and the battles occurring at the periphery all contribute to the sense of a larger conflict. Zoom in close and the grisliness of the scene is more apparent – explosions make meat of soldiers, and the dying crawl and stagger. The sheer visual splendour of combat and the might of the engine can make war a thing to goggle at, players peering at the screen like dogs on the wrong side of a butcher’s window, but it’s a grimy sort of spectacle. It’s hard to spot the company of heroes among the legions of anonymous dead and doomed, although the cutscenes, which provide a post-war reflection on the horror and guilt of the survivor, are often strong. The number of men dying on both sides of the conflict is terrifying, and the focal points of each map are soon clogged with bodies and the smoking ruins of machines. ![]() Given the setting, the constant barrage of noise makes sense. The soothing click-click of the mouse is drowned out by the death rattle of machine guns and the occasional whirr of a brain cog is lost in the audible violence as the Eastern Front repeatedly explodes. It’s quite comfortably among the loudest strategy games in existence. But does the long-awaited sequel add anything more than enormous flurries and drifts of snow? I donned my thermal underpants and went to war.įor the first hour, Company of Heroes 2’s campaign threatens to be all sound and no strategy, fury without thought. That's what Company of Heroes 2 would have you believe at any rate, with a flashy new engine and a great deal of clamour presenting its conflict. The Western Front isn't as quiet as you may have heard from other sources but the Eastern Front is almost certainly a great deal louder. ![]()

![]() In fact, the DC-6 for MSFS sold more in a matter of hours that any of the previous versions for FSX, P3D, and XP in their lifetime… combined! It’s a remarkable revelation that is a testament of how MSFS completely steamrolled other simulators in terms of widespread market appeal. A sub-$100 product may be possible! The release of the DC-6 for MSFS was an unexpected success for PMDG.Īlso, Randazzo revealed that the team was taken by surprise with the DC-6 sales figures immediately after its release for MSFS. Still concerning the Boeing workhorse, Randazzo says in the interview that it will be the best product the company has ever put out, and will also surprise users for its affordable price, when compared to releases on older platforms. ![]() This updated timeframe about the 737’s release for MSFS is just one of the several notable statements from the PMDG frontman. After all, we all want the 737 to be as good as our own expectations! I was probably too optimistic a few days ago, hoping for a release before Christmas, but this is probably for the best. Randazzo says the 737 could actually be released very soon, but the team is looking to deliver a polished product, so the current estimate points to sometime in January, possibly slipping a little into February if necessary. ![]() Unfortunately, it appears our early expectation for a 737 release date before Christmas won’t be met. ![]() PMDG’s Robert Randazzo gave an interview to Sky Blue Radio over the weekend, where he shed a little more light on the company’s future plans for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the unexpected success with the DC-6, among many other things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now when you know how the autotune works, let’s dive into How to use Autotune in Fl Studio.įirst things first, There are many different plugins available in the market out there. Musicians can use DAWs like Ableton and Fl Studio to use Autotune plugin. Now, When a singer hits a frequency of 168 Hz, Autotune will identify the mistake, and it will manipulate the Pitch of the original sound, and the scale and the Pitch of the song will be maintained. For instance, E-3 has a frequency of 165 Hz, and F3 has a frequency of 175 Hz. The Pitch Depends on the frequency of the sound. Hence Autotune is used to correct those mistakes. Now, When a singer is trying to hit the specific note, Sometimes, He/she misses it. A singer should and have to maintain the Pitch and the scale during the entire song. There is a certain pitch of the entire song. There are Different notes in musical theory, And There are different pitches also, 12 to be precise. But for the sake of today’s tutorial, We’ll see How to Autotune in FL studio.īefore diving into the “How to Autotune in Fl Studio” section, Let’s understand “How Autotune works”. Autotune can be used in many different DAWs. When a singer makes a mistake, that is, he/she is not able to hit the correct Pitch, Autotune can help in such scenarios. Also, There are different pitches of these seven notes. There are seven different notes in music theory. Autotune allows singers and music composers to identify the pitch singer is hitting. There are some pre-defined frequencies in it, and it “observers” the change of the input of sound/vocal. Whether saving studio and editing time, reducing the frustration of endless retake, or saving it, otherwise in a one-time lifetime performance, auto-tune is the heavy tool of choice.Īutotune is a software plugin that identifies the change in Pitch or change in sound frequency. ![]() All with a user-interface that is a model of clarity, speed, and ease of use.Īuto-tune is used daily by thousands of audio professionals around the world.

But today, even inexpensive cameras can be significantly data intensive as the price of megapixels tumbles. You can succeed with low budget Compute Sticks if your camera isn't demanding. My advice, you need to look holistically at your final destination or risk a lot of costly mistakes as your rig progressively evolves. I have a lot of experience of this challenge, having progressed from a simple low budget DSLR system to a end to end 4K UHD EAA system. but the core compute stick bit is all the same. It’s a bit out of date since I’ve made a few tweaks upgrades and additions. I think I have exactly the m3 stick you’re looking at.Įdit: just found an old post with all the details. If you search my old posts I’ve outlined exactly the items I have and what I’ve been doing with them. But you can’t run them off a regular L Ion battery since they tend not to have a mobile chipset. ![]() The Nuc form factor machines are also good, though much bigger, they are cheaper. It’s not the cheapest, but there’s nothing smaller that I know of that can do the same. The compute stick is a really great compact solution. It also runs off a usb c power so I can use a standard lithium ion battery pack in the field if I want and be completely wireless there too. 4K is nice for detail on a wide field, but most of the time I’m zooming in anyway. If you crank up the resolution to the almost 4k native iPad screen resolution it’s a bit sluggish but still usable. So long as the WiFi reception is good the response is pretty much instant. I can walk around anywhere inside and outside my house and have full viewing and control from the iPad since rdp runs across the main WiFi. I then rdp into it from my iPad Pro which makes it a great wireless experience running sharpcap, motor focus and the mount wirelessly from my iPad. I have my compute stick headless at the scope and it connects to the main WiFi. ![]() If you do some digging on this forum and on cloudy nights you’ll see quite a few people using the compute stick in various configurations. Windows on an underpowered machine is always horrible. ![]() I went for the m3 version because it gave me room to expand and I knew windows 10 would be smooth. On smaller sensor cameras like the asi290 the atom is perfectly adequate. It’s the same power as a surface pro 3 and runs windows 10 nicely.īoth the atom and the m3 will work for eea (and ap) however, if you have a large sensor camera you’ll want to go with the m3 version due to the larger memory and faster chip. I have a compute stick with the m3 chip and it’s great. ![]() ![]() Using face-up cards or a reserved card in your hand, pay the purchase price of one development card You have the option of taking any unclaimed face-up card or drawing one card from any draw pile.

![]() Free-form first-person shooter gameplayĬrysis 2 is set three years after the events of the first game, with players controlling a Force Recon Marine named code-named Alcatraz.Thanks to its flashy graphics, exciting powers, and action-packed first-person gunplay, Crysis 2 is an explosive dose of futuristic fun. Among panic, disorder, and utter chaos, you'll use your newfound power to eradicate all hostile threats, whether human or alien. Set in a destroyed New York City in 2023, you must evade being captured by a deadly privatized military that hunts you down, intent on reclaiming the Nanosuit for their own nefarious uses. Armed with a super powerful and advanced Nanosuit, players use stealth, brute force, and a wide variety of high-tech weaponry to decimate an invasive alien threat known as the Ceph. Part of the appeal of the original game was the amazing presentation, it was the best-looking game of its day and of course, Crysis 2 had to live up to that.Ĭrysis 2 is the sequel to one of the most graphically impressive games ever released, sending players to the front line of futuristic warfare. It may be on the short side, but the game feels packed while you play it. Overall, the game is just a great deal of fun to play. ![]() The ammo is not exactly in generous supply so you do have to use your suit and weapons together to deal with threats. You have these awesome alien weapons to use and these allow you to tinker with them. Outside of using the suit, the game is still a great deal of fun. Using the suits modes is a lot of fun and it forces you to change things up during battle. You can also turn the power suit into a power mode where you are much more powerful and able to take more damage. You can decide to use the stealth mode so that you can sneak around and view enemies' heat signatures which is pretty awesome. With this game, they have made it more streamlined and it works better. ![]() ![]() In Crysis 2 you have a badass power suit like you did in the first game. It is the kind of thing I could see being turned into a massive action movie with awesome special effects. There are those that want your Power Suit for their own need which adds to the complexity of the story. What I really liked about the story was how in addition to aliens, humans are also a threat. ![]() ![]() The most pressing matter for Andy's toys seems to be his family's imminent relocation to a nearby neighborhood, but another move puts them in a tizzy early on Andy's mom has pushed up his birthday party to today!

They even work, as their first scene shows them taking care of administrative duties at a type of staff meeting, where they have assumed assorted roles. When the children are elsewhere, the toys themselves play. The various toys in Andy and Molly's room range from tacky to cool, vintage to modern. The setting is the bedroom of Andy (voiced by John Morris), an ordinary young boy who has a caring mother (Laurie Metcalf), a drooly younger sister named Molly, and no shortage of playthings. The interesting premise here is that toys come to life when their owners are away. Created by Pixar Animation Studios and co-funded, aided, and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, this clever production tells a tale filled with comedy, drama, and adventure from a toy's point of view. So while I was able to put this task off to pour out thoughts about the earlier Lilo & Stitch 2 and concurrently-issued Disney Princess Sing-Along Songs: Volume Two, with this release becoming available nationwide today, I will simply struggle ahead, fully knowing that my words cannot do justice to this wonderful film.īy now, chances are you know all about Toy Story, the first feature-length film animated entirely on computers. ![]() That, coupled with the critic's challenge of being thoroughly accurate in covering the DVD's amalgam of new and recycled bonus material, has had me feeling quite overwhelmed. Furthermore, I decided that I cannot take the cop-out route I did faced with a similar situation when reviewing The Lion King two years ago and simply more or less omit a section on the movie itself. The idea of writing something new and brilliant for a movie on which so much has been written has dealt me quite the dilemma. Toy Story is one of those handful of films that I have seen countless times and in which I cannot find any fault. That's about as long as any DVD review has ever taken me, and it is not merely due to scheduling conflicts or oversight.

The society has partnered with the Friends of Bowker Creek to create 1,000 rain gardens that mitigate flows into local creek systems. The Peninsula Streams Society said one outlet for water so urban streams don’t overflow is “rain gardens,” catchment ditches with plantings that collect runoff. These types of flooding events “are going to keep happening,” said Bruce. They slow down the water … store the water until it returns to normal.” “Flood plains around rivers allow the fish to find their way back. ![]() Along with smothering incubating salmon eggs, sediment can eliminate deep pools that offer juveniles relief from higher temperatures.īruce said the deluge this week washed away gravel beds containing incubating eggs, especially in areas where river banks have been altered for farming and development and the river can no longer spill its banks. Increased sediment flowing into salmon-bearing watersheds reduces the quality and amount of spawning ground and juvenile-rearing habitat. The federal agency said erosion and landslides are also increasing within watersheds, with hillsides more vulnerable to landslides amid more prolonged periods of rain and warming temperatures. Droughts are also becoming more frequent, creating migration barriers to salmon and increasing losses of incubating eggs and juveniles. river systems are seeing more flash flooding, leading to increased egg losses in what biologists call “scouring,” where swift flows are raking the river beds where salmon lay eggs. The State of Canadian Pacific Salmon report said coastal B.C. A colleague in Japan told McCully that chum runs are low there as well.įisheries and Oceans Canada had warned in a report two years ago that climate change was already affecting stream flows and salmon runs. The lower chum counts are the same on all major rivers on eastern Vancouver Island, he said, and extend to the Gulf of Alaska. The chum salmon, however, are a concern, he said. McCully said “a significant number” of coho eggs were collected by the hatchery prior to the heavy rains, as that species spawned earlier than the chum. McCully said crews may get out to assess the damage on Saturday if the flows have subsided enough to make it safe. ![]() The extent of the damage won’t be known until the river flows subside. A hydrometer system used by the Capital Regional District to measure water flows was ripped off its foundation and deposited downstream. The hatchery’s fish fences and weir used to count fish and collect selected brood stock was completely submerged and weighed down by logs and debris. Incubating eggs are being smothered in silt and debris. “I’ve seen the Goldstream flood before, but never like this,” he said. Peter McCully, a technical advisor at the hatchery for 40 years, said it’s the worst flooding he’s ever seen. In other years, it has collected close to 600,000 eggs. It had already been one of the lowest returns of chum on record, and the hatchery was only able to collect about 45,000 eggs. The Goldstream Hatchery in Langford has concerns the chum salmon run might have been wiped out. ![]() The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is expected to have scientists on the ground at Island rivers and streams, along with those elsewhere in B.C., over the coming days to watch flows and assess impacts on the spawn.īruce, who provides fisheries services to governments and First Nations, said he will book an airplane this week to survey the overflows and potential damage to fish stocks in fledgling salmon-bearing waterways in the capital region like Colquitz, Craigflower and Hagen Graham watersheds, as well as the Goldstream River. It wasn’t immediately clear how many juvenile fish or eggs might be affected by the deluge. The society’s fishway project on Millstream Creek spilled its banks, spreading water and debris into the forest along Atkins Road. “It will affect a lot of fish,” says Bruce, who was assessing some of the damage caused by overflowing creeks and streams this week. The swift water likely swept away incubating eggs and sent young salmon prematurely out to sea, destroyed critical gravel nesting sites and food sources, and hindered salmon that had yet to spawn, says Ian Bruce, a biologist with the Peninsula Streams Society. The heavy rainfall that turned rivers and creeks into raging waterways this week is expected to have a significant effect on salmon stocks for years to come. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s unknown how many new or returning characters Season Pass 4 will introduce. This list will help you quickly reference all available Tekken 7 characters, and how you can get your hands on your favourite ones. Past DLC characters for Tekken 7 have included some wild picks, like Noctis from Final Fantasy XV and Negan from The Walking Dead. The new “Tekken Prowess” metric will track your performance, and you’ll be given more details about your opponent’s connection and drop-out rate ahead of fighting them. Many say that it looks like Kunimitsu, another character we haven’t seen in a while.Īdditionally, every fighter in the game will receive new moves as of this update, and online play will be enhanced. It also hints at one of the new characters being added, without revealing them directly.Īs of now there is now confirmation about who the first character being teased in the trailer is, but fans are speculating that it’s Jun Kazama, who has appeared in a single mainline Tekken game in the past-1995’s Tekken 2. ![]() The trailer shows celebration of the game’s community and drops hits at the difficulties of 2020- and how Tekken 7 can help to allievate some of them. The trailer for Tekken 7 Season Pass 4 has been released on YouTube. The new DLC will add some extra characters to the game’s ever-expanding roster, as well as some general improvements to online play and extra fighting moves. Hopefully even more DLC fighters are added to the game in the near future.Tekken 7 will continue to expand, as Season Pass 4 has been announced. Anyway, you can watch a trailer for Noctis down below. Anna Williams One of the earliest characters introduced in the Tekken franchise, Anna Williams makes her return in Tekken 7this time as a DLC character that must be purchased from the store. Geese from King of Fighters is also a DLC character and he was made available in the game last December. Noctis can be purchased from the store separately or alongside Geese as part of the initial Tekken 7 season pass. As part of the Season Pass 4, two new DLCs will come up for the acclaimed fighting game which has just passed 6 million sold copies worldwide. You can get the DLC pack separately, or it’s a part of the Season Pass. ![]() These fighters excluded from Legendary Edition They must be acquired independently and not with season passes, as some characters will be. In TEKKEN 7 – DLC3: NOCTIS LUCIS CAELUM PACK, players will be able to experience a new level of combat as they warp around the enemy while invoking Armiger, the power of kings! This pack includes Noctis Lucis Caelum as a playable character, the exclusive stage “HAMMERHEAD,” as well as the BGM “Stand Your Ground / FINAL FANTASY XV,” the BGM “APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS Remix / TEKKEN 7,” and five Noctis costumes! Noctis Lucis Caelum is also playable in DLC1’s “Ultimate TEKKEN BOWL.” Therefore, it leaves out the guest characters from other video games or series, such as Geese Howard, Noctis and Negan, or original fighters who debuted in Tekken 7 like Leroy, Fahkumram and Lidia. Details from the press release can be seen below. Not only do you get him as a fighter in the game, but an extra stage is added plus you can dress him up in different costumes too. Noctis from Final Fantasy XV will be available as DLC in Tekken 7 on March 20th, 2018. Owners will be happy to know that a release date for the fighter has now been confirmed. As you might know already, Noctis from Final Fantasy XV will be available as a DLC fighter in Bandai Namco’s Tekken 7 video game. ![]() |
