It's a race to save the world from another aspect, an aspect that doesn't yet finish, with some great friends you'll make during the game and of course, a love story that didn't have an apportunity to begun. The Half Life game is a MUST PLAYED game for any first person shooter lover out there! Half Life's world is so enormous and almost every piece of it can be destroyed with your weapons and of course with your best friend - The Gravity Gun! At first I thought Half Life is a boring game with stupid creatures I have to neutralize, but when I looked a bit closer, I've discovered that it's much, but much more than that. ![]() But how!? I can't find the game for purchase anywhere! Well, I've decided to go eBay and I was suprised to find ou t that people out there still sell the very product I desire! The Half Life 1 Complete Collection! Even if it's a used product, it's still great to own it for yourself along with your rest old PC games collection. It was AWESOME! Well, what about the first game? Now I MUST know what happened back then in Black Mesa (a Half Life 1 location). But the problem was that I couldn't find the product for purchase anywhere! So I've played Half Life 2 and it's two episodes and I was charmed. So I thought was I shall do? Shall I buy the Half Life 1 first so I'll understand the plot from the beginning? I thought right. Only recently (2009) I saw Half Life as a MUST PLAYED GAME for me! I know, I know, it is a bit late wake up to the Half Life worldm, and the problem was that what I could find at stores was ONLY the complete collection of Half Life 2 (the orange box). Generally, those who have a good handle on what is real and what is fantasy should have no problem with this game. But definitely not for the on-the-edge personality types. It's too bad, because blowing away some fantasy enemies not only gives you a psuedo sense of revenge, but a certain sense of personal power, which for some, could be a good thing. Shooter games have gotten a pretty tough rap with some of the recent real-life shootings in this country, and perhaps with some good reason. Further, the "elimination" of enemies in the game can be determined by configuring for easy, medium, or hard (kills). Parents should be warned that it is a game with some blood and gore, but much of this can be eliminated by parental controls. But, as a lark on the side, and as a virtual world one decides to enter from time to time, to fantasize a bit, it can be fun. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with addictive personalities, as the game has a powerful potential to rob one of living their REAL life. Very encompassing, engulfing and highly imersive, it is great for the person who has a bountiful supply of self control. What an exciting adventure! The game is very linear, and with the help of some on-line walkthroughs, I have been enjoying myself tremendously with all my new virtual experiences. ![]() An experiment gone deadly wrong at a secret underground scientific facility called Black Mesa in New Mexico, we become the first person character fighting a desperate battle to reach the surface and safety. Well, I'm not really much of a PC gamer, but I thought I'd do it for fun, and to pass some time. Recently, while attempting to purchase another PC game, a friend recommended Half Life to me.

Some are kind of obvious on the solution but some aren't as obvious and some are just plain hard (like the one with the ''go-cart''). It's completing the missions that are hard. Ok Replay Ability!ĭifficulty 10/10: The enemies are easy but the game itself isn't easy. You do get something special for completing them all, I'm sure (although I forgot). Replay Ability 7/10: The only reason why you would want to replay this game, in my opinion, is because you haven't completed all the missions. The only way to kill them is to jump on top of them and then throw them at an object or on the ground. The, your weapons can't kill them outright, but you really wouldn't want to. Then, to fight them, you need to get them in the bag but you'll find out. You need to get a bag of their ''element'' and then go to the place which will open the doors to them. There are also the bosses.all who are pigs. These missions add a nice touch and originality to this game. Once you've completed a mission, it'll say so and, chances are, you will gain an item. There are MANY missions in this game and to acquire them, you need to talk to certain people or go to certain places. You see, in this game, you're 's call them missions. Gameplay 10/10: You might think it's a game where you just go past the levels, killing enemies and fighting the boss to move on. However, that's a nice touch.even though it could get you killed. They're nice and responsive but when you're dashing, Tomba will skid a little before he stops if you let go of Square. You have Circle to attack, X to jump, Triangle to go to the menu screen, and Square to Animal Dash. Good Graphics!!!Ĭontrols 10/10: They're easy to get used to. Graphics 9/10: It's kind of blocky at times but otherwise, they're not half bad. Basically, everything in the game sounds good. The bridge creaks w hen you walk across it. General Sound 10/10: There's Tomba's shouts and there's even some voice acting but that's only for a little portion of the game. It really fits the cute and colorful settings, in my opinion. Music 10/10: There are some really catchy tunes in this game. Now, let me just say that you'll hardly ever see that pigs are the enemies in a game. Story 10/10: Tomba's grandpa has a golden bracelet but one day, some evil pigs (yes pigs) took it!! Now Tomba is out to get back the bracelet and get rid of the pigs. Well, either way, it's still a neat game. There are over 130 different events in all - some of which can be completed at random or in any fashion you'd like. Every time you collect an item that someone or something needs, it is referred to as an event. As you journey along, you will come across people who need something or a town that requires your help. ![]() He'll come across a wide variety of items along the way ranging from charity wings (teleportation to already visited places) to the 1,000 year-old key (opens 1,000 year-old treasure chests).īreaking the mold of the traditional platformer, Tomba! is more non-linear rather than it is a level-to-level game. ![]() ![]() Each weapon has a specific purpose and certain ones should be used at different times a grapple for high-up places and the boomerang for distance attacks. Among his weapons is the default blackjack (a spiked ball with a rope attached), a grapple and various boomerangs. Tomba also makes use of weapons and items. Once all three experience meters reach level ten (in order to do this, Tomba must do certain things), he will unlock and learn an ability. He has seven abilities that can be learned throughout the duration of the game. Little do you know that the quest for your bracelet will turn into so much more.īecause of its role-playing elements, in Tomba!, your character will gain experience points, develop new skills and learn new things. You assume the role of Tomba and begin your adventure. The game starts out simple enough with the evil Koma Pigs stealing Tomba's bracelet, which was given to him by his grandfather.
Some time ago I had to create a script to execute on startup, do its job and reboot the computer if needed, but how do you prevent going in to rebooting loop? Luckily after a bit of wondering around I managed to find a solution – the system_profiler command! It gives the opportunity to track the hardware state and if there is any change it can be used to trigger a script execution. If finderMess2 = “You’re up-to-date!” then Set finderMess2 to the value of static text 1 of window 1 of application process “Finder” of application “System Events” If finderMess1 = “XtraFinder Beta has expired!” thenĬlick button “OK” of window 1 of application process “Finder” of application “System Events” Set finderMess1 to the value of static text 1 of window 1 of application process “Finder” of application “System Events” If exists ( window 1 of process “Finder”) then If XfinderMess = “System Integrity Protection is enabled.” thenĬlick button “OK” of window 1 of application process “XtraFinder” of application “System Events” Set XfinderMess to the value of static text 1 of window 1 of application process “XtraFinder” of application “System Events” If exists ( window 1 of process “XtraFinder”) then Tell application “XtraFinder” to activate The script app has to be in your log in items and will/should work fine even after you upgrade to the latest version of XtraFinder, currently 0.25.9 /which by the way fixes the nag messages, until the time for the next update probably, which if not on time will probably start the receiving of the expire message again. The tutorial is for XtraFinder version 0.25 where mine was 0.25.8 and though the assembler instructions and the function looked the same I think that matters.Īs I am not an assembler guru I went back to the good old applescript to make a few clicks on behalf of a human □ Please check the script below and change it if you need to. Well unfortunately I found only one good and interesting blog post on the subject involving Hopper Disassembler, but that did not worked for me, whatever I tried I did not manage to produce an executable file which will actually work. As what was suggested in the official support page did not work I went to see what is available online, Google is your friend, right!? □ I was recently asked to help with the annoying XtraFinder’s message “ XtraFinder Beta has expired!” and make it disappear without user input. ![]() This is the major difference between Image size and canvas size. When it comes to image size, however, it has to do with the image you are working on itself. It can be adjusted accordingly to increase or decrease the area and field to do your work.Ĭanvas size does not directly affect the quality of the image you are working on although the image can be cropped if the canvas size is toggled inappropriately or disproportionately. Canvas size is the work area that your image/picture fits in. Similar in their function, image size and canvas size can be difficult to comprehend for beginners but there is a difference in their function. Option+Cmmd+C= Canvas Size Difference between Image Size and Canvas size.Cmmd+Q= Quit (this is different from Close).Cmmd+W= Close (this is different from Quit).Left Arrow Key= To Rotate Left Pair keys. ![]() D= Initialize (This resets back to black & white after color tools have been used).Alt/Opt = invokes Eyedropper tool without leaving the current tool you are working on.Tab= Initialize (Reset FireAlpaca to Defaults).The work-frame shortcuts are categorized into two: the single keys and pair. Note: these shortcuts are keys for the Mac but for Windows PC you simply need to replace ‘Cmd’ with ‘Ctrl’, ‘Delete’ with ‘Backspace’, and ‘Option’ with ‘Alt’ This is for when you’re deep in work and they exist to save your time. It comes in very handy since the tools are located at the top and side of the screen and the time it would take you to navigate your mouse might be considerably more than just putting in a letter. These are mostly letters you can punch to invoke tools you want to use in the software. ![]() Let’s get these shortcuts: The Tool Shortcuts Also, since Firealpaca is available on both Mac and Windows (PC), the commands will go through tweaks because of the nature of the operating system but we will notify you accordingly. We’ve compiled this list and hope you find them useful. If you are new here, a shortcut is a set of keys used to send a command to the software. If you are a frequent Firealpaca user and you’ve probably been looking for a list of shortcuts to help enhance your productivity, then this article is for you. Firealpaca is probably the best place to start if you’re a beginner in digital art with simple tools like the Airbrush, watercolor, pencil, etc. It is available to the Windows operating system and Mac. Firealpaca is an expressive (and free) digital software for painting and drawing. It takes 1 TeppyMinute (about 1m 07s real time) for the Harvest option to reappear after harvesting a seed. When the plant dies, it will leave more seeds on the ground. You may then harvest seeds from the flax up to 5 times before it finally dies. Shortly after weeds appear in the bed, you will see more of the yellow weeds appear, indicating that the flax bed has gone to seed. To grow Flax Seeds, plant a bed of flax but do not weed it. Depending on the variety of flax, you may obtain one or more deben of Flax or Rotten Flax on each harvest.įlax grown in the above manner will not produce any seeds. It might be hard to see this, but you can click on the flax to tell for sure. Eventually, more flax shoots and flowers will grow in the bed, meaning the flax is fully grown and ready to be harvested. Depending on the variety of Flax Seeds being used, you may need to water the flax when you weed it (using one container of Water), and you may need to weed or water the bed several times. Shortly afterward, yellow weeds will appear, and you will need to weed the flax bed. After a short while, green flax shoots with blue flowers will appear in the bed. To grow flax, plant a bed of flax plants using the "Plant" menu, on grass (flax will not grow on sand). Rotten flax can also be dried into Dried Flax, which can be used in construction. Further processing breaks Rotten Flax into straw, tow and lint, which can then be processed into canvas, linen, and rope, all goods fundamental to the Egyptian lifestyle. Once harvested, it must be soaked in water to make Rotten Flax in order to be processed further. To turn a seed into a wild bed to harvest seeds, plant it on grass then wait 48 seconds until it displays Harvest seeds from this wild flax plant.Flax is grown by players from Flax Seeds. If you zoom in closely, you will see yellow weeds appear when the bed becomes weedable, and then overrun by yellow weeds when you can harvest the seeds. This means that if you take 43 seconds to weed it the first time, you get a maximum 29 seconds to weed the second time. There is a total 15 seconds tolerance after the bed becomes weedable. Then wait a further 24 seconds for it to turn into Harvest this Flax. Wait a further 24 seconds, then select Weed this Bed again. To turn a seed into a harvestable bed, plant it on grass, wait for 33, click the bed and select Weed this Bed. You will be able to "Search amongst the grasses for flax seeds" in the Self > Plant menu, which will yield 3 Flax Seeds:Old Egypt every five minutes following the first five minutes of receiving this task, up until you leave for the mainland. The two flax can then be rotted, and in conjunction with the rotten flax reward, you will be in a good position to turn 12 tow into 7 rope, leaving 40 rotten flax for processing on the mainland. When the task is first started, the player is given 3 Old Egypt Flax Seeds, automatically completing the first step, "Gather some Flax Seeds".įor your first three seeds, it's advantageous to weed two of them to flax, and the third to seeds. The ability to rot flax is also unlocked ( Skills → Rot flax in the water).Ĭompletion of this task begins the Flax Processing task. Upon completing the entire task, the Flax Processing and Clothwork skills are learned. Weed a Flax Bed several times and Harvest the Flax. ![]() Let the Flax Bed go wild, and Harvest Seeds.The Flax Growing task is started up completion of the Solid Progress task. ![]() However – and it’s potentially a HUGE “however” – one development which has absolutely nothing to do with the hardware but I think might actually be the making of this unit (and the S8) is the imminent arrival of the Stems format. You also get eight performance pads and full transport / looping controls. Just like the Traktor Kontrol S8, the Kontrol D2 has a touchstrip in place of a jogwheel for pitch bends and track seek. And manual beatmatching is still a pain on it due to relatively unintuitive pitch controls.īut if you’re a DJ playing electronic, beatgridded music and you’re already bought into the Traktor way of doing things, there’s an awful lot here to love: Excellent pads with the full gamut of modern deck features (slice / freeze, hot cues, loops, slip / flux), and screen that are genuinely useful aside from the limited library integration. The screen is good, although not good enough for involved library work and searching, especially as you still can’t control what columns the library shows, so you still need the laptop nearby unless you’re more organised than I am with your playlists when it comes to library use. If you really think you’ll miss the jogwheels, it’s never going to be for you, although the touchstrip does a decent approximation of manual control for nudging etc. In Use Arguably the biggest draw for the Traktor Kontrol D2 is its onboard screen that displays data relative to what controls you’re touching.Īgain, most of what I said about this unit in the Traktor Kontrol S8 review still stands. However, for plugging in lower-current Midi stuff (a Kontrol F1 or X1, for instance) the two-socket USB hub would be fine. Native Instruments is promoting the idea of a pro set-up for controlling Traktor consisting of two of these, but unfortunately as they take a lot of power, you need to plug them in to a power outlet (fair enough, they have nice screens that have to draw current from somewhere), but you can’t just daisy chain two of them together via USB the power needs to be routed via a separate proprietary power splitter cable. One other thing that’s different is that there is a USB hub. Note that it doesn’t have any audio connections because it doesn’t have an onboard sound card. The Traktor D2 comes with a built-in two-port USB hub for daisy chaining more Traktor D2s or other devices. We reviewed the Kontrol S8 a while back, and pretty much everything I said about the decks part of the controller stands here, too, so feel free to go and read out Traktor Kontrol S8 review for a refresher. If you want to integrate Traktor with your existing system from scratch, you’ll need to factor in an audio interface too (or have a mixer with one built in, like the Kontrol Z2). So while Native Instruments is calling it a “deck”, it is not a “deck” in the sense of a record deck or a CDJ, that has an audio output and can be used with a standard mixer as-is. The audio interface hasn’t made it across with the unit, though, meaning this is Midi only. One difference is the addition of four feet, designed to raise it to the height of a standard mixer (such as a Pioneer, Allen & Heath, or indeed the Kontrol Z2), and also there are four deck / FX select buttons top-right – but apart from that it’s no different. ![]() It looks exactly as I described, like an S8 deck surgically removed from that rather large unit. First Impressions / Setting up The Traktor Kontrol D2 takes Native Instruments’ vision for DJing on a modular route that’s more accessible in terms of price and size, but is it any good? We find out in this review. ![]() Now, with the launch of the new eFootball PES 2021, FC Barcelona releases a section on its website where fans will be able to see the news and updates about Konami, eFootball PES 2021 and it will also feature the professional eSport players and the competitions organized by the developer of the video game.

That menu also lets you hide speakers that you never want to use with Airfoil, reducing clutter in your output display. If you have trouble with a given output’s sync, a new Advanced Speaker Options dialog (in the Speakers menu) lets you tweak the delay. Rogue Amoeba tells me that they don’t test for this feature or support it, so don’t rely on it. Airfoil routes stereo sound by design, although encoded audio (like Dolby Digital) may make it through intact from a source to a destination capable of decoding and playing it as intended. In testing, it worked like a charm, creating rich, broad sound. It’s worth it to avoid the weird echo effect that otherwise can occur. This generally works, even as it introduces a slight delay whenever you press play, pause, or switch audio inputs. The secret sauce in Airfoil is how it keeps everything in sync: It tries to determine and match latency-the delay between data being sent and played as sound-to the most-lagging device. The new Groups option lets you create collections of speaker combinations you use routinely. |
