![]() Also, while undoubtedly a clever game, it’s never smug with it, letting its brilliant concept do all the talking. By spinning the level around, previously inaccessible platforms will suddenly line-up for you to jump across, while climbable creepers will connect to provide a pathway to the next stage of the level.įez combines these elements with some fantastic pixel-art, a delightful soundtrack, and a really fun and upbeat vibe. It’s an incredible gimmick which the game uses to produce some beautifully brain-teasing platforming enigmas. Initially presenting itself as a straightforward, retro-styled 2D platformer, Fez’s levels are actually fully three-dimensional, with players able to flip between any of a level’s four planes. Like Superliminal, Fez is also about shifting perspectives, but its take on the concept couldn’t be more different. Yet it’s a smart and highly innovative puzzling adventure nonetheless. In structure and humour, Superliminal leans a little too heavily on Valve’s Portal for support, right down to having an amoral AI computer as one of its main characters. Even the game’s story is a surprisingly touching little tale about finding new angles on personal problems. It’s an incredible effect, and only one of Superliminal’s brilliant perspective-shifting tricks. To you, the can of soda or wedge of cheese you’ve picked up always looks the same size, but depending on how you move around relative to other objects in the room, when you put it down it’ll be as small as a pea or as big as a house. ![]() Superliminal has one of the coolest puzzling mechanics I’ve encounter since Portal, wherein you change the size of objects by picking them up and then moving around the room you’re in. ![]() I wanted to focus specifically on more recent puzzle games, rather than trot out the familiar classics like Myth and Portal, as it’s been a fantastic few years for inventive, ingenious puzzlers, while a few of these games deserve far more attention than they’ve received. So it’s time for me to provide that recognition in handy, easily digestible list format. It’s a heck of a task, and one that really doesn’t get enough recognition. Oh, and you’ve got to come up with your whole puzzling concept in the first place. Now imagine designing 10 hours’ worth of said puzzles, in code, with enough variety to stop the player from becoming bored. Ever tried drawing a maze or creating your own crossword for someone else to solve? It’s difficult enough to make one that works, let alone make one that’s precisely balanced to be challenging without being obstructive. This is doubly unfortunate considering a good puzzler is also one of the hardest types of games to make. Puzzle games don’t always get the credit they deserve, often neglected in the all-time great rankings in favour of bloated open world games about sad mass-murdering dads.

![]() This paper seeks to identify the central analogical function of the fire in the cave, following out various hints and suggestions in Plato's rather dark text. While there is some scholarly unanimity on most of the details of the cave analogy, there is one detail that no one has yet explored, viz., the significance of the fire in the cave. The description of the cave, moreover, is rather extended, going on for four Stephanus pages (roughly, 514-518), and Plato presumably has reasons for indulging in such fine detail. 1 When it comes to the cave image, again, we find a careful sort of delineation. Although there is some disagreement about just what this proportionality in the line may mean, commentators agree that the proportionality has some significance. The divided line, for example, features exact proportions precisely specified. In Republic, many of the images Plato appeals to are very carefully constructed and meticulously described. However, our hunger for comprehensive representation can be satisfied either by sophistic misrepresentations or by genuine nous, and Plato presents us with a choice: How will we use the fire burning inside us? I explain escape from the cave by appeal to the ascent passage from Symposium, and I suggest that question whether the prisoners' release from their chains is voluntary or compelled is a false dilemma. Hunger for understanding is the source of illumination for things in the mind, but also, it is the ground of the being of representations in the mind. I argue that the fire represents the human longing for synoptic understanding. ![]() The sun outside the cave is the ground of everything outside the cave, and thus, the fire must have some parallel crucial role to play inside the cave. Key Words: The Allegory of Plato, The Portrait of a Lady, Isabel Archer However, because of her strong sense of duty and dignity, she does not get rid of her chains completely. To appreciate why, we must first explore Platos Allegory. 4/ Discovering, understanding, and evangelizing bitcoin best resembles Platos Allegory of the Cave. " It is not surprising that each step takes her to suffering and frustration, and it is only through experience that she becomes aware of the truth. Download PDF Bookmark Report The Fiat Cave. She is like Plato's prisoners who are suddenly released from their bondage and " pained and dazzled and unable to see the things whose shadows they'd seen before. She faces up the realities of life step by step. Just as the prisoners are able to see only the shadows reflected on the wall, so does Isabel see the shadows of real life. Though Henry James's masterpiece The Portrait of a Lady is not mentioned among these novels written by different writers in different periods, I will try to show that the allegory is an apt tool when analyzing Isabel Archer's character, the protagonist of the novel.
![]() Most people say adora is garbage and I think that's right. I think "they tried it but." maybe I'm too hard with him And you can't even afford him on first round without much monkey knowledge (more starting cash and reduced price for heroes)Īlso he has lead weakness + Camo detection only on lvl 5. On lvl 1 he's just like a 020 dart monkey what is not even close to obyn who's like a 200 wizard. His abilities are quite powerful but they have a long cool down. There are so many ways to get that Camo detection and he takes too long to reach lvl 8 so you even have to get some other Camo. He was first hero I bought and he upset me when I tried out other heroes. For me he's like "Oh yeah" but I understand when people say he's more like "good" or "OK" And with monkey knowledge you can even buy him on first round on every gamemode except chimps. Also he can pop TWO layers with 4 pierce with his main attack what's pretty awesome. And maybe it's just a bug but he can give you cash on chimps with his lvl 10 ability. Like that druid spam or grandmaster is a very good strategy. Obyn is a very useful hero especially when u like magic monkeys (like I do) (the ability is still very good but yeah) no question if you wanna go for epic late game she's da best. She has some weaknesses like you can't use her totem on chimps and impoppable, she's weak in early game, AND she doesn't reach lvl 20 until round hundred (when placing her one first round and not giving her extra xp) what makes her BAD destroying ability only useful in epic late game. "Oh yeah"Įzili, well I don't know really where to put her. And I like the fact he's makin' me moneeeeeeeee. So I think "I use a lot" fits.īen isn't useful on chimps but he's pretty delicious on other gamemodes with almost every Strat on every map. :) Thats why I use her very often especially on events. I think Sauda is very good for doing all easy and some other maps without concentrating on the game. ![]() The iconoclastic Flying Fortress can be seen from all over Antaloor now. You will find the Pirates Isles in the north western corner of the world. Ending the Pirates Expansion allows you to continue playing now. Same goes for teleporting.The quests associated with the PotFF Expansion (and its intro sequence) are started by talking with the Boat Trader in New Ashos. You can sail back and forth between the Pirate Isles and the other continents of Antaloor. It integrates the Pirates of the Flying Fortress Expansion into the same game world as the main campaign (and the former multiplayer maps, see above). The questgiver is a "Crystal Man" you will find on the bridge spanning the central chasm in Alsorna (the island where you will find yourself once leaving the dungeons of Castle Vakhmaar).Ĭ. The questline starts at the beginning of the game and is designed to run almost to the final end. This questline also explains why these new lands from multiplayer are suddenly there and will open your eyes for a new threat. It adds a new very long questline sending you to explore the farthest corners of the world and to discover 55 well hidden, hand placed questitems. It integrates all the eleven large adventure maps from multiplayer fully into the single player campaign (including their quests, enemies, treasures, etc.) - they are part of this one world map now.ī. The CORE part of Worldmerge does the following:Ī. : To all folks with time for some relaxed coffee, just lean back and continue reading. The questgiver is a "Crystal Man" you will find on the bridge spanning the central chasm in Alsorna (the island where you will find yourself once leaving the dungeons of Castle Vakhmaar).Įnjoy it and please give some feedback here in this thread: RELEASE Worldmerge - INSIDE Two Worlds. The new questline starts at the beginning of the game and is designed to run almost to the final end. Just to rephrase: Trick here is that the character is created using the old campaign start option, but the game is played via using the PotFF option (with importing that lvl 1 char from the old campaign). A new entry in your quest log should read "Two Worlds Colliding". When all works out as described, you will have a fresh level 1 character in Vakhmaar Castle. Import your fresh character into the expansion game without choosing to level her/ him up Start a Pirates of the Flying Fortress expansion game (worry not, this will due to modding lead to the normal start of the main campaign)Ħ. Make a fresh character in the normal singleplayer main campaignĥ. You will find download links to these files at the end of this post.Ī fresh start is required - it will not work (properly) with old savegames.Ģ. You can also place everything directly in the WDFiles folder (minus the sound files which have to go into SoundData). Note: The sub-sub folder MODS is just for better sorting. It is advisable, though not required, to use an English language installation.Ī) the RESOURCE LEVEL file into the subfolder WDFiles in your TW2 install directory andī) unzip one of the seven variants provided into your TW2 install directory (files will end up then in WDFiles/MODS and SoundData). The singleplayer game time (compared to the 45+ hours of TW2+PotFF) is easily extended by more than 15 extra hours (25+ if you choose the Master Difficulty).Īll you require is the original Two Worlds 2 game (PC), patched to version 1.3, and the corresponding Pirates of the Flying Fortress expansion. In addition to that many great mods by gifted modders from the Two Worlds 2 community are included (see details below). You will find three new difficulty levels (Novice, Expert and Master) with various tweaks and enhancements, each for a female or male player character, that bring a lot of extra challenge. It ties everything together with a very long new questline sending you all around the world of Antaloor, even to the most hidden corners. Worldmerge - though done without SDK/Toolkit - combines the Two World 2 main campaign, the eleven multiplayer adventure maps and the whole Pirates of Flying Fortress Expansion into one coherent, newly balanced singleplayer gameworld. So I will start this with a BIG THANK YOU for those who have accompanied me through all the crazy ramblings and experiments scattered wildly over hundreds of my posts across the great forum at.

Upfront many thanks to Dhruin for so fastly picking up news of this mod and reporting here on RPGWatch about it, thumbs up. So I just started the restore on freshly built VM with 5.3.6 to see if just maybe the version is the issue. Seems to literally restart the entire restore each time (but Elapsed time when I do a q restore on the server keeps going up). It loads the first tape, then the second tape, then the third tape, and then dies. ![]() I then restarted it.Įvery time I restart the restore (dsmc restart restore) it starts from the beginning again, and prompts me if I want to overwrite or skip the already restored files. When I checked dsmc q restore, it showed that the restore was restartable. When I checked the server, the restore was inactive. I had to restart the restore several times though, and at one point, the local restore said it was finished, but only a few files were restored. Pretty well the same result with restoring it this time. The other drive I have disabled for now (waiting for IBM warranty). So I'll apply that, reboot the library and the server, take that drive path offline and do the restore with just one drive and see how it goes. I also found a fix pack (5.3.6.2) that hasn't been installed. I'll reboot the tape library, but there's a pretty good chance I might have a faulty drive. Activity log states issues with opening the drive. I brought it back online, and after a few minutes, it took itself back offline. I came into work tonight and the path to the one drive was offline. The node has 2 TB of data in my tape pool, and I don't have any free storage that large. and I have a space issue that prevents me from doing it. Though, am I able to restore data that was backed up by a 5.5.1 client with a 5.3.6 client? I was under the impression that it server/client versions didn't matter all that much, that they'd function at whichever functionality is available from either. Would need to build it but that won't take long (VM template). I can try restoring the data from a 5.3.6 client on a different linux box. The recovery log only gets up to about 3 or 4% usage. The size of the restore is only a couple hundred MB.Īny feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Volumes that it needs are all Read-Write access, and are in the library, checked in and all. ![]() There are no other processes or sessions running on TSM.

When I query the backup, it creates a list of files pretty fast. I restart the restore (dsmc restart restore) and even though it claims to be a restartable restore, it seems to start all over again and tries to restore the same files over again, then gets severed, and so on. A couple hours later, the connection is severed. After several hours (18 hours first time) the restore beings, and then after about 9.5 MB, it stops and just sits there. ![]() I'm having some issues restoring some data off of a Centos box running surgemail.

![]() ![]() The project’s findings will influence government policy concerning the $292 billion-a-year U.S. Coordinating what’s become an $18 million series of 16 studies by more than 100 researchers has turned EDF into a heavyweight on the science of methane pollution. Investigations on this scale are normally organized by the federal government or the National Academy of Sciences. As InsideClimate News concludes:Įnvironmental groups almost never take on scientific research efforts. While we don’t agree with everything in the story, we’re glad it recognizes the scope, ambition and scientific integrity of our work. The material will be used in black and pink cell phone cases for the iPhone® 5 and iPhone® 5s that will be sold online exclusively on beginning later this month.On April 8, InsideClimate News published an in-depth story about Environmental Defense Fund’s groundbreaking work to measure emissions of methane. Speaking of methane, Sprint recently announced it will be one of the first companies, and the world's first telecomm company, to use AirCarbon™, a new carbon-negative plastic made from methane gas, instead of petroleum. These standards will form the foundation of the CSSD’s independent, third-party certification process. The Center for Sustainable Shale Development (CSSD) outlined 15 initial performance standards designed to ensure safe and environmentally responsible development of the Appalachian Basin’s abundant shale gas resources. Last year, Shell joined with a group of energy companies, philanthropic foundations and environmental groups to form an organization that provides shale gas producers with performance standards certification for shale development. ![]() The Challenge is accepting proposals through June 17. There is a market need for cost-effective technologies that provide continuous detection of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that can escape to the atmosphere during production, transportation and delivery of natural gas. Methane emissions present both an economic and environmental opportunity for the oil and gas industry, EDF says. We have already received strong interest from innovators at private companies and universities - and with Shell onboard, we expect that to grow." “EDF initiated this Challenge to jumpstart the market for new solutions that could cut emission detection time from months to minutes. “Shell is one of the largest global energy companies and its participation adds a new level of support and expertise,” said Ben Ratner, EDF'S natural gas program manager. The most promising technologies that also meet required specifications will advance to pilot field trials at facilities run by many of the participating oil and natural gas companies. Shell joins Apache Corporation, BG Group, Hess Corporation, Noble Energy and Southwestern Energy as an industry partner in this effort to help catalyze new technologies for enhanced detection of oil and gas emissions.ĮDF says the Challenge offers innovators the unique opportunity to have their technologies undergo extensive, independent testing, at no cost, in Southwest Research Institute's state-of-the-art laboratory in Texas. Shell has joined the Environmental Defense Fund’s (EDF) “Methane Detectors Challenge,” a collaborative project between EDF and five other oil and natural gas companies aimed at identifying and bringing to market cutting-edge technologies that could ultimately help reduce methane emissions from oil and natural gas operations. |
