![]() On who you play against & their connection, as well as your own. The biggest issue with Tekken 5: DR Online and once again greatly Online = better.Ī mixed bag as far as stability goes. TEKKEN 5: DR was the best Tekken in years. Or 2005-ish if you were frequent to arcades to play TEKKEN 5, like I was. It's similar to "putting your quarter up"Īt an arcade machine, winner stays, loser pays. You can either create a room (up to 8 people) or join a lobby, where you Tekken 5: DR Online has a variety of online features, including: Rankings, battle lobbies, headset support, and in-match spectating. There is NO lag" after every positive thing I say about this game. So for this review, feel free to insert the phrase " when I use a wired FIOS connection, and while imperfect, it definitely feels solid against certain players. Notch connection, you can pretty much forget about playing simply put, if you don't have access to a top The first official online-enabled Tekken? Well, that all depends on your connection It's worth it to own both games, actually! Unfortunately, there is still no story mode or character endings in the PS3 version, so you'll have to go back to TEKKEN: Dark Resurrection on PSP to enjoy all those goodies. Tekken 5: DR Online remedies a few of the missingġ-player modes by adding in Survival Mode, and the ultra-important Practice It didn't feel like a "home release"Īs much as the PSP version did ( Tekken: Dark Resurrection) because the PS3 version lacked endings, Story Mode, Survival Mode, Team Battle,Īnd Practice Mode. I played the arcades.ĥ: Dark Resurrection released for the PS3 as an exclusive digital title on the PlayStation Network. TEKKEN is finally online! Time to rack up some streaks.

A large two-digit LCD shows you the current patch number, and four LEDs show the presence of signal at the input and output, MIDI data activity, and the on/off status of the foot pedal's switch. There's also a headphone output, with a level control that I found to be a little on the sensitive side, plus inputs for two expression pedals, and MIDI In and Out. There are left and right stereo outputs on balanced quarter-inch jacks, with an associated button that switches the output level between high (for connection to keyboard amps, mixers or powered monitors) and low (for output to guitar amps). There are two high-impedance inputs, each with its own gain control, so you can connect two guitars at the same time, with their input levels matched again, this will be handy for live players who switch guitars for different songs. As an audio interface, the Rig Kontrol 2 is pretty well specified. Guitar Rig 2 in action, showing the versatile new Tweedman amp, the modelled Sansamp distortion box and the noise filter. The new Rig Kontrol handles all audio inputs and outputs and puts them at your feet just like a conventional multi-effects board, cutting down clutter and reducing the number of ways for things to go wrong. This will be a boon for many people, but particularly for those using Guitar Rig live. The difference is that this signal is converted to digital within the Rig Kontrol 2 and sent to the computer over a USB cable with no need for a separate soundcard. ![]() Like the original, Rig Kontrol 2 transmits its control messages to the computer not as MIDI, but embedded inaudibly in the audio signal from your guitar. It terms of the control it offers, it's similar to version 1 except that there are now six rather than four independent footswitches (plus the switch built into the rocker pedal). It could probably survive being run over by a car, and should certainly be robust enough to stand up to stage use. The new Rig Kontrol is a smart-looking beast with a reassuringly thick metal skin. With so many new features to talk about, I won't go into detail here about the modules that were already included in version 1, and I suggest that anyone unfamiliar with Guitar Rig should read Paul White's review in SOS September 2004. The hardware is now not only a controller and DI box, but also a USB 2.0 audio and MIDI interface, meaning that you no longer need a third-party soundcard to use Guitar Rig on your Mac or PC. ![]() ![]() The software now includes numerous new amps - including, for the first time, bass amps as well as guitar amps - new cabinets and new effects, as well as an entire new category of module called Modifiers. Time marches on, and NI have produced a thorough overhaul of both Guitar Rig and Rig Kontrol. Guitar Rig came with Rig Kontrol, a floor unit that didn't act as an audio interface, but served both as an impedance-optimised DI box and a foot controller for the software. NI also broke new ground by making a hardware unit integral to their software package. Its free-form interface allows the user to choose any number of elements from a list that includes amps, speakers, stompbox and studio effects, and arrange them in any order to create their own guitar sound. Among the many high-quality packages now available, Native Instruments' Guitar Rig stands out as the only truly modular system there is. In the decade or so since Line 6 launched Amp Farm, software amp modelling has come a long way in both quality and diversity. With version 2 of their Guitar Rig, Native Instruments are taking amp modelling into the realms of modular synthesis. ![]() It is unknown whether they are usually there, or if he only scattered them to "welcome" Fionna. There are rose petals scattered over the room. Near the ceiling, there are many round pink drapes, there is also one drape that extends far beyond the others. Like a typical royal bedroom, it has two castle-like windows to each side of the bed. There is also a pink bean bag in the corner with what appears to be a ukulele laying on it, and a lamp hanging over it for light. There is a door that goes to an unknown room. It has a carpet that goes up the steps where his bed is placed. There are three purple pillows and a red blanket. Prince Gumball's bed is purple with a pink bed frame. Fionna thinks they are "cute pals" and in one scene she and Cake mistakenly assume that they are about to confess being a couple.īutterscotch Butler serves as Prince Gumball's rival in a board game, who usually wins by accounting for his insecurities, which she reads from Gumball's unprotected diary. Lee and Gumball are depicted as close friends and are stated to spend time with each other on a regular basis, often together with Fionna. Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball are shown to be about on the same terms as Princess Bubblegum and Marceline in "Bad Little Boy." Prince Gumball called Marshall Lee "uncivilized company" and went back inside when Fionna chose to talk to Marshall Lee instead of him.Īs told by Gunter (Fionna and Cake comics) In " Five Short Tables", it was revealed when Butterscotch Butler prying on Gumball's insecurities that his biggest regret involved Marshall Lee. In "Fionna and Cake" Marshall does seem to be invited to the Biennial Gumball Ball. In Five Short Tables, when Butterscotch maid mentions Gumballs "regrets", a picture of Marshall Lee appears, so it seems likely that they were close at one point (like Marceline and Bubblegum) but then grew to dislike each other. Since all appearances of Marshall Lee and Gumball have been stories told by different people it is unclear if the portrayal is supposed to be consistent or if it simply varies with each author. ![]() Her most targeted prince is Prince Gumball as he is her main love interest and competes with Fionna, just like how Ice King's most targeted princess is Princess Bubblegum. Ice Queen tries effortlessly to capture and marry the prince. They appear to be as close as Fionna and Cake. He transports Prince Gumball when racing Fionna and Cake. Lord Monochromicorn is Prince Gumball's trusty steed, like how Lady Rainicorn is Princess Bubblegum's royal steed. She saves him, which leads to Gumball being impressed and asking her out, which Fionna declines. After the (Ice Queen) Gumball leads Fionna into his bedroom, a drop of water lands on Fionna's shoulder, leading to her discovery of the prince's capture. He asked her out as 'pals' to his Biennial Gumball Ball, but the Ice Queen captured him and took his place.
The Series: Samurai was the first series produced after Saban won the rights to the series back from Disney… and it wasn’t exactly a return to form. The Basics: The Power Rangers are descended from a line of samurai who pass the power down through generations, which is actually a nice twist. Sure, it’s a cool theme, but it’s also a lazy remix of a remix that this series never quite lives up to. Plus, it says something when there’s a literal robot Ranger who emotes more convincingly than most of the main characters. Even when the Rangers gained the ability to take on the appearance and powers of every Ranger team in history, it did nothing for the series, coming across as Megaforce trying to latch onto incarnations that were much more interesting and then dragging them down. With a combination of incredibly poor acting, unoriginal plots and blatant butchering of the source material ( Super Megaforce featured a switch to a pirate aesthetic…and nobody ever mentioned it), Megaforce did everything wrong it possibly could, which included reducing the grand finale - featuring every Power Ranger team in existence in one huge battle - into a dull exercise of wasted cameo appearances and one giant anti-climax. Still, it’s a rare unicorn of a fan who has anything kind to say about Megaforce, which was intended as a tribute to the good old days and fell flat on its face. The Series: People love Power Rangers for all kinds of different reasons, which makes them so hard to rank. The Basics: Intended as a ‘back-to-basics’ Power Ranger series, with a Zordon-inspired leader, a cast of homages to the original Rangers and the ability to use previous teams’ powers. In fact, there have 18 separate versions of the show, all of varying quality. So many that you might just need a big list to see where they fall in the grand scheme of awful to awesome.Īnd, so, using the finest research the internet has to offer (and not including seasons that were just renamed, such as Super Samurai) here's every season of Power Rangers from start to finish, ranked in vague order of how much people seem to like them. ![]() You might remember them from your childhood, but they never really stopped going, at least not for more than a year or two at a time. Power Rangers: there sure have been a lot of them. ![]() Some enemies actually require a two-button combination. On the downside there is the repetition of battles, requiring little more than the push of one button. You wont miss it, except during battles. Depth is something this game doesnt have, and doesnt need. Im not saying this game is the perfect representation of a cartoon series, but its just not bad, and thats good. Velma is a computer geek and can compromise security systems, while Daphne has a talent for climbing poles. Scooby can get into smaller openings, Shaggy can use a grappling hook, and Fred can move heavy objects. The characters dont level-up, although you can purchase quaint accessories for them to wear. Each character is playable, and each possesses unique abilities not unlike a party in a RPG, but with a whole lot less depth. Enter Fred, Daphne and Velma, the more reasonable associates of Mystery Inc. But its not long before the gang gets involved. ![]() The search for these ingredients takes them to places unknown, and thus the adventure begins. Motivated more by hunger than adventure, the twosome eagerly agree to help her find special ingredients to complete the delightful brew. Scooby and Shaggy are venturing through the swamp when they come upon a young witch crafting a fragrant stew. Nothing is particularly difficult, but theres just enough challenge to keep your mind engaged while the storyline unfolds like a mystery novel. The gameplay is variety personified with elements of action-adventure, point-and-click, puzzle-solving, platforming, combat, collecting, and even a two-player co-op mode. It contains three storylines, which are well-written, considering. At around seven hours, it can be beaten in a weekend. Scooby Doo! and the Spooky Swamp targets kids, but it packs enough action, fun, and anticipation to keep the older crowd engaged for a spell. And so far I havent seen a Simpsons game that can touch this one. Like the cartoon, its simple, corny, formulaic, and repetitive, proving that its much more fun to play than watch. It simply delivers an interactive cartoon universe for us to play around in. What I liked about the game is that it doesnt try to reinvent the wheel. How can you compare it to classics like Popeye and Bug Bunny? But before my contempt for the cartoon series begins to sour your opinion of me, this review, and the video game, let me iterate the game is a different story. Scooby Doo was popular when I was a kid, and I didnt like it then either. You can also ask your question on our Scooby Doo! And the Spooky Swamp Questions & Answers page.Scooby Doo used to enjoy the distinction of longest-running cartoon series, but I, as a cartoon fan, cannot be happier this series was finally overthrown by a production of intelligence, integrity and infamy (i.e. We also have cheats for this game on: PlayStation 2: Wii.

![]() The challenge is to implement these accords and reverse the steady degradation of Islamabad’s environment that has taken place over the years. When Sheikh Ansar signed the Green Charter of the UN Urban Environmental Accords in October 2016, Islamabad became the first city of Pakistan to do so. 5000 was imposed if the order was flouted. The use of hosepipes was banned and a penalty of Rs. With not enough water in either the Khanpur or Simly dams, CDA scrambled to fix leakages from pipes, and clean the water filtration plants that had not been done for years. As the supply of water became the Mayor’s priority, he discovered that the water supply department had no funding. Islamabad was hit by water shortages due to the late arrival of winter rains in the Pothwar region. Illegal development on Korang River Garbage floating down Korang to Rawal Lake This body will be able to control the sprouting of illegal housing in places like Shah Allah Ditta, and by the banks of the Korang River, which feeds the Rawal Lake. The creation of the Islamabad Building Authority has been initiated, into which will be merged both the Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation and the CDA. The Prime Minister has been asked for the provision of a municipal police, or for dedicating a section of the police only to enforcement. Enforcing its fiat over encroachers and illegal construction has been an uphill task because the CDA does not have enough manpower. The Mayor has initiated an “Own a Park Scheme”, that the private sector can partner as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility, and this should help take some budgetary pressure off CDA. The UNDP has funded a feasibility study for it. Long-term plans include a mass transit system, which is desperately needed given the increasingly snarled traffic in the city. Shah Allah Ditta caves Developors wrecking havoc in Shah Allah Ditta ![]() ![]() Multi-tiered garages are being built in some of the markaz, and will go some way in easing the parking problem. With parking becoming impossible in all commercial areas, the Mayor is ensuring that each plaza should have its own inbuilt parking, a rule that existed on paper but was never implemented by the CDA. In just over four months the Mayor has taken important steps to improve the city’s governance and make it environmentally friendly: the F9 park has gone solar with the help of the Chinese, and is also being provided with cycle tracks after years of neglect, all roads and lights are being repaired the garbage disposal system has been improved, while the green belts and parks are being cleaned (the practice of dumping sand and gravel in the green belts has been stopped) guards have been posted on trails and in the Hills to ensure that there is no illegal felling of trees, or littering of trails funds have already been released for the protection of the archaeologically precious Shah Allah Ditta caves that date back to the 8 th century. Islamabad Mayor Sheikh Ansar Aziz with cyclists at the launch of dedicated bicycling lanes in Islamabad Thus began the pollution of the Rawal Lake, and the MHNP lost a large chunk of its Park to Islamabad’s rapacious elite. Dr A.Q Khan opened the floodgates of illegal construction there, and the courts gave them a legal cover in 1999. The city might not have had nightlife, but it was a haven for hikers and walkers with winding trails going up the Margalla Hills, while the area surrounding the Rawal Lake was a bird watcher’s paradise.įirst came the land grab in Bani Gala, which was part of the Margalla Hills National Park, the catchment area for the Rawal Lake, and source of water for the residents of Rawalpindi. There were no high-rises every sector had its markaz or central shopping area, with each sub-sector equipped likewise with its mini-market. Pakistan’s first planned city was founded in the 60s, and became Pakistan’s capital in August 1967. Islamabad, the city of broad, leafy boulevards whose Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) covers almost 174 kilometers, was an idyllic city of natural beauty. So, in my opinion, he could get Ethered by Meek and still be able to put up big numbers afterwards. Since pretty much Day 1 Drake has been getting clowned on about his comfortable up-bringing (in a relative sense), his emotional songs and his stunt as Wheelchair Jimmy on Degrassi. His street cred & toughness has never been his selling point or something he could seriously base his foundation off. lolĭrake has the women & suburban market on lock.

![]() Serato DJ: US$99 or US$9.99 per month / US$299 or US$14.99 for Serato DJ Suite This is because Serato DJ licenses its software to hardware manufacturers and retains strict control over implementation, while Virtual DJ just takes it upon itself a lot of the time to make sure its software works, which leads to wider compatibility. Virtual DJ is one of the most popular digital DJ apps because it works with just about anything, and it shows: being compatible with over 300 DJ devices, plus the ability to use any manufacturer’s audio interface and timecode vinyl for DVS use puts it at a huge advantage over the compatibility list of Serato DJ for DJs for whom near-universal compatibility is important. Virtual DJ: 325 total devices, including mixers, media players, controllers, and DVS boxes Serato DJ: 53 controllers, 17 mixers, 18 accessories (including CDJs), four DVS boxes You’re even able to modify Virtual DJ 8 on a deeper level thanks to its extensive Options menu that lets you tweak controls to its engine. With Virtual DJ 8 being more “open”, that means that users have more opportunities to customise the app to fit their needs on the computer they’re using, and that also means that it works with a broader range of DJ controllers, mixers, and interfaces. ![]() This tends to make Serato DJ more stable, albeit across a smaller range of mixers, controllers, and interfaces. There are advantages and disadvantages to either: being closed means that the developer has more control over the way the app looks and with which devices it works with. The default Virtual DJ 8 skin has a maximum of six decks, but you can have up to 99 decks if you’re using a skin that supports that number.įrom this, you may think of Serato DJ as more of a “closed” DJ environment, and Virtual DJ as more “open”. Virtual DJ’s virtual deck limit, on the other hand, is directly tied to the skin that you’re using. Serato DJ lets you spin with a maximum of four virtual decks, letting you choose to display the waveforms in a horizontal or vertical manner. You can even use it with a touchscreen PC thanks to its “Tablet” skin that makes it intuitive for touch device use. Serato DJ has a standard graphic interface that is uniform across both Macs and PCs, while Virtual DJ has a customisable one – you can change the way it looks by downloading “skins” made by the Virtual DJ community. Graphics are one of the main differences between Serato DJ and Virtual DJ. Virtual DJ: Up to 99 decks (skin-dependent), vertical and horizontal waveforms Serato DJ: Four decks maximum, vertical and horizontal waveforms ![]() If you’re on the fence as to which app to pick, read on to find out what makes each of them special and see how they stack up against each other… 1. We’ve got a tough Head To Head challenge here: both Serato DJ and Virtual DJ 8 are long-running digital DJ apps that each have their own dedicated supporters. ![]() The maps were made smaller than in the previous part, but this is a special development of the developers to increase the action in the territory focused for battles. ![]() For example, if a lobby leader leaves a squad, a new leader is appointed immediately. The changes also affected the multiplayer mode of the game. New perks for Stalker, Scout and Expansive Bullets faction. Separate innovations can be called a separate pumping of weapons. The impressive graphical shell has stepped to the next level, in comparison with the previous part, the physics has also become more realistic, the arsenal of weapons has been greatly redesigned, and, just as important, this project, like its predecessors, has a very deep and detailed plot. He will sweep along them as if on a roller coaster, getting a lot of positive impressions from the process. The world is half-open, but it will not be possible to walk freely through its expanses: here the narration will lead the player from the beginning to the very end. The game mechanics have undergone a number of innovations, but by and large they have remained the same. We, on behalf of the protagonist, will have to confront the leading instigators of the outbreak of the Third World War in 2016 (in an alternative game universe). Events take place in our time, and affect the territories of states such as the United States of America, India, Czech Republic, France, Somalia, Germany, Great Britain and the United Arab Emirates. The game's narrative is divided into three large acts, with a total of 17 main missions divided between these acts. The project was released in mid-autumn 2011. The highly renowned virtual entertainment studio Infinity Ward has been developing and publishing this game with the direct support of its colleagues. Totally new to the franchise, Face Off distills all the fun and intensity of multiplayer into a new breed of 1 vs. The second Modern Warfare® 3 DLC Collection launches with all-new Multiplayer/Survival Mode Maps, Special Ops Missions and the debut of Face Off maps. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is already the eighth numbered game of the famous series of linear shooters with a third person view. Base game required: Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 on Steam. ![]() A bitcrusher, a downsampler and an analog drive knob. ![]() Tritik’s Krush is an effect plugin with 3 different distortion types. The sound either fits your production or not. The cool part about Labs is that it comes with only a handful of parameters so you won’t spend 10 years trying to get everything perfect. Most of these instruments are rather unique and therefore a nice addition to the basic instruments libraries you probably already own. There are several extensions available, including pianos, brass, choirs and synths. Labs is a free software instrument made by the London based sound design company Spitfire Audio. A must have for every lofi producer if you ask me. What I love the most is that you can adjust the year of your “recording”. Since the freeware only comes with a handful of parameters it’s easy to use and setting it up won’t take much time. iZotope VinylĪs the name suggests, iZotope’s “Vinyl” is a plugin emulating the characteristic imperfections of vinyl records. If you’re using Ableton however, you can get your download HERE. Unfortunately, it’s only available for Ableton Live users, so if you’re using another DAW you have to pick some of the other options in this list. It comes with 8 macros allowing you to decrease the bandwidth, add vinyl crackles, detune and distort the source sound. The “LoFi Rack” is a free Ableton Rack based on Live’s stock plugins. The freeware in this list can easily compete with some of the paid stuff I’ll mention later on. That said, you don’t always have to spend money to get some quality software. I want to start this list with a bunch of free lofi VSTs, because I know that a lot of producers are one a budget, especially when they’re still going to school (or music is their only income lol). Here are some of the best options: Free LoFi Plugins Luckily there are plenty of cool lofi plugins available so you don’t have to actually own an old tape machine. ![]() Once you have a selection of cool sounds & samples you can further refine your music to sound like it was recorded a few decades ago. It would however be easier to just get your hands on a decent LoFi House or Hip Hop sample pack. You could, for example, sample old vinyl records or buy an old drum machine. So if you want to produce lofi music it’s important to pick the right sounds and samples from the start. Although we have all the tools we need to produce extremely clean and precise music without any unwanted artefacts there’s something about the imperfections of analog recording equipment that triggers certain emotions in us. |
