![]() In vain she cut and screwed the thread, she burnt it in the candle.she twizled it between her finger and thumb.but enter the eye of the needle it would not. ![]() Here's one of the OED's attestations, from 1840: Dating from the late 1700s, it simply means to twirl something or form it by twisting something. It's even in the Oxford English Dictionary, although not with a meaning specific to ice dancing. Although 2014 is the year when twizzle broke through into widespread recognition, you can see it turn up in the stories from the winter Olympics in Vancouver and Torino, although by the time you get back to Salt Lake City in 2002, it's pretty scarce. It's a required move in the ice dancing routines, and was spoken of again and again by the commentators. ( United States Figure Skating Association) The weight remains on the skating foot with the free foot in any position during the turn, and then is placed beside the skating foot to skate the next steps. But for language watchers, an even more interesting question than who would take first place was this:Īs those of us who don't habitually follow ice dancing have now learned, a twizzle is a traveling spin on one skate, or to be more precise:Ī traveling turn on one foot with one or more rotations, which is quickly rotated with a continuous (uninterrupted) action. ![]() Their story was made even more dramatic by the longevity of their partnership (17 years), the longtime rivalry between them and the Canadian team Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, and the surprising fact that both teams share the same coach and even train together. Meryl Davis and Charlie White made history this week as the first Americans ever to win the Olympic gold medal in ice dancing.

Magic Projectile gives Magic Damage Over Time He has a little bit of good Crowd control. But, he still has some great advantages and almost no disadvantages to note, as described below: Advantages The Blacksmith in Castle Crashers is far simpler than one might expect. This character is a great choice for anyone, offering some amazing damage without notable combo or skill problems. He has some great benefits with no downfalls to note, as seen below: Advantagesįire Demon is pretty similar to the Orange Knight – minus the disadvantages. Fire Demonįire Demon is a really well-rounded character that can be useful to just about any Castle Crashers player. The main reason why this character is ranked lower is since the Magic Splash attack costs a lot of Magic. The rainbow will also do some great damage as it goes along, and the splash attack does great damage as well. Players can take advantage of this by attacking them in this state.Ģ5 Best Anime Games on Xbox One (2022 Update) Unlike other splash attacks that knock enemies back, the Pink Knight’s splash attack will keep them pinned to the ground and make them defenseless for 1.3 seconds. Magic Splash sometimes rapidly damages enemies. This character has a crazy strong bomb-type projectile that offers a wide range of advantages, as described below: Advantages The Pink Knight can be an excellent choice for anyone wanting to put out some ruthless damage. However, his XXXY combo takes longer than normal compared to Fire Demon. This character can land some solid blows with high damage. But, the disadvantages may outweigh the pros for many players: Advantages The Orange Knight is a pretty good choice for many players. Still, this character can pay off if you’re patient and strategic enough. His projectiles are really fast to land, but they do not necessarily deal enough damage to get kills, and his magic splash is pretty weak. Magic Splash is somewhat useless as it’s weaker than normal splashes. Magic Projectile is faster than normal magic projectiles. But, many have found that the advantages do not quite outweigh the cons in many instances: Advantages The Necromancer can be a good choice for many players. ![]() But, his normal attacks make it difficult when taking on groups.

While he has silly disadvantages, the character does still have good skills that can be used in many situations: Advantages The last spot on this list is the Green Knight, just evading the Castle Crashers characters that are seen as ‘bad’ by most of the community. ![]() Sadly this extension is no longer available but you may wish to try Web Scrobbler, which does a similar thing to this. While not a must-have for everyone, for those who want to Scrobble YouTube and other services, it’s ideal. When you play a track on a supported streaming service the add-on detects and syncs it to your Last.fm account.Īs some tracks might not be labelled entirely correctly on some of these sites the browser (handily) also lets you edit track data to be submitted, meaning your plays get filed under the correct artist or album name.

I’ve been using music discovery service Last.fm for over 10 years, and make Scrobble support the first thing I look for a traditional desktop music player.īut, like many, I increasingly use the web to listen to music. ![]() So my advice would be: whatever you’re into, just jump in and start making. In terms of picking up hints and tips, there are loads of tutorials on YouTube, and some really great web forums, but one of the really nice things about chiptune is that it’s stylistically diverse. The Game Boy is a great option, because it’s portable and moddable. Both give a tracker-style front end linked to a software emulation of the hardware without having to go to the challenge or expense of investing in, hacking, and maintaining original hardware, so it’s a really good way to dip your toes in the water and experiment.Īs your experience grows, you might want to look to invest in some original kit, and I’d recommend picking up a Game Boy, which can still be had for a few tens of dollars from eBay and Gumtree, and a NanoLoop or LSDJ cartridge. That runs on MacOS and emulates the Commodore SID sound chip.įamiTracker on the PC emulates the Nintendo NES. GoatTracker, for example, is a good option. If we set aside the debate about authenticity and making on hardware versus emulation, one of the easiest ways to get going is to use one of the modern soundtrackers that is built around an emulated sound engine. ![]() I think tinkering is a great way to start, and the beautiful thing about chiptune is that it’s very, very accessible. Someone get their start in making chiptunes today? Is it as easy as buying It took a while before chiptune came back around as a stylistic statement in game soundtracks. It wasn’t until a few years later - and by then, we were into the 16-bit era and soundtrackers - that I really began to think about pursuing a career in video game music.īy the time I got my first professional commission in 1997, we were well into the console era and production music. That said, even then, I realised that making games must be a job, and I remember telling my mum when I was about 10 or 11 that I was going to make games when I was older. All my 10-year-old self was thinking about was whether or not I could get through to the end-boss on R-Type with all my power-ups intact. You foresee it being a viable way to develop a career? I love that track, and still gig live with it today.Įarlier days when you began getting more invested in making chiptune music, did It had sardonic, sampled speech during the level intro that set you up for what is actually quite a sophisticated piece of soundchip-generated cool funk. I loved the concept I loved the graphics, and I loved the bike handlebars you used to control the game. I spent most of the summer of 1984 pumping my pocket money into that cabinet. So chiptune, really, was the soundtrack to my childhood.īut the soundtrack that really got me hooked was Atari’s Paperboy. So, while most of my school-friends were spinning vinyl and listening to Iron Maiden or Depeche Mode, I was listening to the soundtrack from Monty on the Run and One Man and His Droid on repeat. I grew up with the 8-bits - particularly Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum and Commodore’s C64 - and playing arcade games in that golden era when Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Wonder Boy ruled the roost.Īnd, if I’m honest, I played video games way more than I should have done. Here’s what Kenny had to say when we prodded him on this neo-retro phenomenon. Originally the product of limitations in earlier generations of video game hardware, the chiptune scene has its own musical artists who perform and record using either emulation (software-based sound systems) or modified game consoles - or both. Since the 2000s, and more so in the last decade, chiptune music has surged in popularity as its own genre of music. Kenny specialises in a specific corner of video game music: chiptune. His work as a musician, educator, and author has led him all across the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. Hope the approval process doesn't take too long.Kenny McAlpine is a Scottish chiptune composer who resides as a fellow in Interactive Composition at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. ![]() The SID used in the SidTracker video can be downloaded from here. On the iPad I'm using Modizer to listen to SIDs and it uses the same engine but lacks the filter-distortion plug-in, so the 6581 doesn't sound as 'warm' as with the proper filter distortion emulation. The app happens to be open-source and is still working good under Mac OS X 10.10.3 and hasn't been update in very long time, the sync towards HVSC collection still works too (Just enable 'best accuracy' and enable the 'filter distortion plug-in' for proper 6581 emulation). I've been listening to SIDs with SidPlay for Mac for many many years and it's SID-Emulation (6581 & 8580 + various revisions) is as close to a real C64 I've ever heard.(My C64 broke down long time ago). I'm pretty sure these guys know what they are doing when it comes to SID-Emulation ![]() Lastly, I can't imagine what the pick up must be like in a standard engine. I HATE the jerkiness of how the engine restarts at stop lights. Or sometimes it recognizes you when you get in and then forgets about you somewhere along the ride and by the time you get to your destination. Then there is this garbage driver monitoring system that sometimes recognizes you and sometimes doesn't. I am told over and over again that Subaru is working on a fix that could be out in the fall. And I've already had my radio replaced once because that was supposed to fix the problem and the problems still continue. And when the screen blacks out, I have ZERO control of climate, bluetooth, radio, NOTHING. I HATE that every single control is trapped behind that stupid screen. ![]() The car has been PLAGUED with infotainment problems.

While there are many reasons to use a VPN, the two most common for personal use are 1) enhancing privacy and security and 2) bypassing geographic restrictions or censorship. Curtains significantly improve privacy for your residence despite the house address being public. Liz Kintzele, VP of revenue at VPN provider Golden Frog, maker of VyprVPN, uses a simpler analogy that indicates what the services do and don't do: > We liken using a VPN service to the curtains on your windows at home. That way, anyone sending you a packet thinks you receive it at VPN Wakanda and has no idea where you actually are. Similarly, when receiving packets, you never get them directly because they also go to VPN Wakanda first. So you send a packet through a private tunnel to a VPN provider server (let's call it VPN Wakanda, for argument's sake), and VPN Wakanda delivers it to its final destination. Additionally, you never send or receive packets directly, choosing instead to route them via a third party that third party is the VPN provider's servers. ![]() Instead of using the open roads to send and receive items, your packets travel in a private tunnel. The highway allows information to travel among servers and devices all over the world. The clearest and most common analogy used to explain how a VPN works is to call it a private tunnel. ![]() VPNs add a layer of protection to your online activities, but which data do they protect and how do they do it?

It's all flat as a pancake wide open farm ground up here with woodlots being few and far between. Not much better here in Ohio anymore either, at least not up in my part of the state. At the very least require them to purchase an annual license that requires they meet certain guidelines and pay a per-hunter tax on their services that goes to supporting wildlife management. The bad thing is that the ODNR continues to refuse to do anything to regulate or oversee these businesses that are profiteering off our wildlife and the tax dollars that go to supporting it. Public hunting land in my part of the state is all but non-existent so that really isn't an option unless i want to drive 3+ hours each way.ĭown in the southern half of the state permission to hunt private land is getting harder to come by due to the number of so-called "guides" and "outfitters" that are leasing it all up. Those that remain are either off limits (don't allow hunting or they hunt it themselves) or the land owner lets everybody and their brother hunt it. Of course you have to consider your enjoyment of preparing and being outdoors against the cost, I'll do it as long as I can afford and physically able to do it.Not much better here in Ohio anymore either, at least not up in my part of the state. ![]() If you add up the cost to hunt - club fees, guns, clothes, stands, vehicles, processing and other expenses - it is getting to be pretty expensive to hunt deer here.

Here in Arkansas it is also getting hard to find public land to hunt on, and when you do its pretty crowded. ![]() ![]() Their coalitions were offshoots, here to cooperate with the locals to achieve foreign objectives before retracting like burnt fingertips. The empires in question were faraway things. “Empire” became “coalition.” Like that, the game’s focus on the local clans of Afghanistan became apparent. In my essay on the arguments made by Pax Pamir, I noted how something as subtle as one altered noun helped frame Wehrle’s thesis in a new light. In game design, small changes often beget big differences. And Cole Wehrle’s second edition accomplishes the improbable by making that message more articulate and more playable at the same time. More than any game I’ve played, John Company is about culpability. Maybe even the sort of blame that might implicate us. Absent a villain, there’s more blame to go around. That the Company’s ascent was the work of clerks and captains, common soldiers and administrative functionaries, merchants selling on commission and thousands struggling to earn their daily bread. As is always the case with sweeping evils, it’s easier to tuck a mastermind behind the curtain than to acknowledge that reality is so much more banal. Perhaps even occult.Įxcept that’s far too tidy.

Biff attended Seth's wake in The Woolpack and left again following the funeral. Biff comforted Betty as she explained that she did not want Seth to be cremated and he suggested that she stop the cremation after the wake. Biff told Betty that she could stay in Keeper's Cottage, which he had bought for her and Seth, for as long as she liked, despite her offering to move out. He first made an appearance when Betty relived the memories of Seth in his shed, when to Betty's astonishment, Biff walked in. In October 2005, Biff made a brief return to Emmerdale following the death of Seth Armstrong. Marlon Dingle wondered whether he would see his good friend again and Biff rode off on his motorbike, into the sunset.
