![]() For those of you who have never played a hidden object game before, Treasure Seekers will expose you to a fun new (and rather popular) genre. These are the FULL iPad and iPhone versions of the game, so you are not just getting a paid app disguised as free, you get the full game! I’ve played a number of G5’s hidden object games and they always offer some solid entertainment and nice production values. The adventure continues in Treasure Seekers 2: The Enchanted Canvases ( iPhone | iPad) and Treasure Seekers 3: Follow the Ghosts ( iPhone | iPad). Treasure Seekers follows the adventures of Nelly as she sets out to find her grandmother’s hidden treasure! “The adventure begins when her parents leave her and her brother Tommy at home for a day – Nelly awakes to find Tommy gone, the door closed and the lock broken! Test your skills with challenging puzzles that will take you from strange laboratories to the dangerous depths of the ocean.” There are two difficulty modes available at the start, casual and advanced, the main difference being the time that takes to recharge the hint and skip buttons.To celebrate the success that they’ve had with their Treasure Seekers hidden object/puzzle game franchise, G5 Entertainment has dropped the price of the first installment in the series, Treasure Seekers: Visions of Gold, to FREE for a limited time. The skip button appears and starts to slowly fill after opening one of the puzzle windows. ![]() The hint button shows the exact position of one of the required items, but takes some time to recharge after use. Use your Hidden Object skills in Treasure Seekers: The Enchanted Canvases to break the spells on the castle and track down Tom. The puzzle windows must be solved to recover some necessary object, and generally present some sort of mechanism that must be manipulated directly. Treasure Seekers: The Enchanted Canvases Hidden Object Help Nelly find and save her brother from a mysterious Romanian castle Dive into the castle’s magical pictures and discover the secrets of the Philosophers’ Stone. The inventory at the bottom works like in any point-and-click adventure, its contents can be dragged and dropped on logical places to solve puzzles. Use your Hidden Object skills in Treasure Seekers: The Enchanted Canvases to break the spells on the castle and track down Tom. Multiple windows and picture rings can remain opened at the same time on the screen. It turns into a hand for collectible objects, a talking mask to start a dialog with a character, gears when hovering over one of the ring hotspots, and into a jigsaw puzzle piece for one of the separate puzzle windows. The cursor is contextual, changing shape to indicate what form of interaction can be made when clicking. Now there's an inventory at the bottom, alongside the hint button and a list of pending tasks. But some updates where made to the design in this installment. Most of the time, the objective is the same as in the previous titles: to drag and drop the required objects from the surrounding scenery into the circles. As the other Artogon's games using the same engine, it forgoes the traditional list of objects, showing instead a ring with gray pictures around certain hotspots on the screen. ![]() Treasure Seekers: The Enchanted Canvases is a hidden object game with adventure elements. She decides to go after him, and after arriving at the place she discovers a gallery of magical paintings, allowing the viewer to enter the canvas and walk around the painted scenery. Nelly lost contact with her brother Tom, after he started to explore the Romanian castle of Totenkraft.

Mafia 2 demo release date5/4/2023 ![]() Every racer also has their own NOS-like speed boost gauge that builds up faster the more you cause destruction on a course, encouraging a controlled recklessness with your driving. In true kart-racing fashion, you’re never really safe in first place, even on the final straightaway - a well-timed missile can stop you in your tracks just before crossing the finish line.Ĭourses often feature big jumps and boost pads to keep up the momentum, and varied terrain may have you using each type of vehicle throughout the race. You grab power-ups and items throughout courses such as homing missiles, shields, bombs, or speed boosts, which can turn the tide of each race. There’s a vast open world to explore and wreck, but most of the meat of the game is found in its competitive races, and it has all the trappings you’d expect. And I think what’s most striking from a gameplay perspective is that Lego 2K Drive is largely a kart racer. Regardless of whatever monstrosity or fine piece of Lego craftwork you come up with for your vehicles, you’re going to be taking them into races. ![]() And although he wasn’t able to confirm specific details, Silva mentioned that players will be able to share designs online (and there will be a vetting process for inappropriate content). However, after about 30 minutes, I was able to slap together a modest car of my own, so with more time and creativity, I’m sure folks could create some wild whips. It’s not quite as easy as snapping any brick you want into place when you’re coming up with off-the-wall designs, so I imagine it’ll take considerable effort and wrestling with the systems to get the most of the game’s customization options. It took some time to get the hang of the controls in the customization garage as there are several moving parts, layers, and small pieces to manage within a 3D space. But the more fascinating aspect is being able to build vehicles brick by brick with official Lego blocks, of which there will be over 1,000 pieces to toy around with. You can deck out any of these vehicles with stickers, flair, or some nonsensical configurations with blocks stacked on each other. There’s an enjoyable seamlessness of navigating the world and being able to use the different types of vehicles on the fly, and this places more emphasis on the extensive vehicle customization features. ![]() Your vehicle will automatically and instantly transform into the proper one to match the topography - a race car for the open roads, an off-roader in the dirt, and a speedboat for sailing the waters. The open world of Blocklandia is composed of various terrain types. This extends to the vehicles themselves, which are the most important piece of the game’s identity. “Everything you see made of Lego in the game can be built in the real world with Lego,” Silva said of the buildings, foliage, and other objects seen in game. Lego blocks themselves are integral to gameplay and the way the open world is designed. Nearly every character’s name appears to be a cheesy car-related pun, and side missions task you with running silly errands for NPCs - though I think I’ve done one too many quests helping cops do their damn job and now I’m part of the problem, but that’s on me. The story’s in-universe broadcasters narrate game events with an irreverent self-awareness, poking fun at the absurdity of what’s happening. That same lighthearted goofiness works as the foundation for Lego 2K Drive to contextualize the open-world driving adventure. If you’ve played any of the Lego action-adventure games or seen the Lego movies, you’ll be familiar with the brand’s tongue-in-cheek humor. It’s how the stage is set for these types of games, but the key lies in what only Lego can offer. The setup for Lego 2K Drive is fairly standard fare: You’re the new kid on the block and must raise your reputation by winning races and completing side quests, eventually gaining enough notoriety to challenge the big-name characters in the story and open up new areas of the map. However, being an officially licensed Lego game, Lego 2K Drive appears to have the building blocks to be more than just its influences. ![]() The comparison was the first thing that came to mind after getting hands-on with about three hours of Lego 2K Drive’s open-world driving hijinx and races full of power-ups, boost pads, and a whole lot of drifting. “Yeah, the Mario Kart and Forza Horizon comparison, I’ll take it,” says Brian Silva, director of the upcoming Lego 2K Drive, during a preview for Visual Concepts’ new racing game. Norton internet security forum5/4/2023 ![]() That has some changes which may affect shell extensions which (potentially) talk to the network, which might include this one. ![]() Whether the problem turns out to be in Norton or Opus, if it's easy for us to add a fix or workaround then we'll usually do so, to get things working quicker and in case the same thing affects other programs.įinally, it's a bit of a long shot, but it might be worth trying with the latest beta version of Opus (10.5.2.5, linked in my signature). (There are so many different ways to do it, some undocumented, so it's possible there is one we have missed.) If that's the case, maybe Norton can look at what's changed between the old and new versions, in terms of how the shell extension is registered or which interfaces it expects to be used, and we can look into making Opus work with what they're doing if it's possible & makes sense. If you don't see any entries for Norton's shell extension, it may be registered in a way which Opus doesn't support. ![]() Norton will probably need to debug what's happening on their side if that is the case, since we can't see what's happening inside their code. If you see entries for Norton's shell extension when you right-click files, then Opus is calling it but it isn't adding anything to the menu for some reason. (Maybe Opus is calling the old version of the shell extension, if the upgrade has left some old registry settings or something, and that's why it's not working.) It may be difficult to tell, depending on what the debug output says a tool like ShellExView can be used to get more information about all the shell extensions, including the path to their DLLs which often reveals their version details. If you see some entries for Norton, one thing to check is that they're for the right version. Turn on context_menu_debug, run DebugView and see what is output when you right-click a file.) If you want to check that, please follow the steps in the Finding The Culprit section of this guide. That will tell us if the problem happens when Opus asks the shell extension to add its menu items, or if we aren't even reaching that point. One thing to check is that Opus is 'seeing' the Norton shell extension. ![]() There is nearly 5 hours of screencast based video training in order to step through each command or action in sufficient detail.Īll videos are available in high quality 1080p / Full HD resolution for sharp and clear viewing on modern desktops and tablets.

That where GitHub Gists help out – share just a snip of code or entire files.įinally, group related GitHub repositories with GitHub Organizations and manage permissions and access using teams. Sometimes you just need to share small parts of a file or a set of files, but don't want to bother with a full Git repository. Once part of a team, you might use GitHub Issues to track defects or enhancement requests. We start tying things together in Social Coding where we join other projects on GitHub by forking and then submitting our contributions back using pull requests. We can then use tags/releases while Comparing Differences on GitHub. Then in GitHub Repository Branches we dive into how Branches on GitHub and our local system work with each other.Īfter we have comprehensively covered how GitHub repositories work, we focus on how GitHub Tags and Releases work and their relationship with local tags in Git. After that, we continue looking at the GitHub Repository, including many of the same operations we performed locally, but done directly within GitHub. Then, we prepare for the remainder of the course by setting up SSH Authentication, which we will use from this point forward. In Welcome to GitHub we start off exploring some of the basic features of GitHub by creating a fresh repository and associate our local repository with it. We will explore GitHub indepth from a source control hosting repository perspective. The main part of this course is all about GitHub. With a strong foundation in place, we explore some more Advanced Git topics like comparing differences, branching and merge resolution, tagging special events, saving work in progress, and even a bit of time travel. We also cover how to exclude the wrong files from accidentally being committed and how to review your repository's history. In The Basics, we walk through all the foundational commands needed to start a new project managed by Git (or enable Git for an existing project) all the way through making commits, including common file operations like moving and deleting files. The Bonus section has a more comprehensive, step-by-step process for those that prefer it. That is followed by the Core Concepts which go over some critical theory before diving straight into Git.Īfter the introduction and core concepts, the first thing we do is a Quick Installation for both Windows and Mac. The Introduction provides a welcome to the course including some useful tips for getting the most out of taking the course and how the course is designed. New!

Meanwhile, Sawyer crosses paths with Lowell (Jay Paulson), a meth cook who is either going to save her or keep her tied up in his trailer house indefinitely. Sheriff O’Doyle (Sean O’Bryan), a good ol’ boy with impressively arched eyebrows, is none too worried about the car left abandoned on one of his back roads, but his less laissez-faire deputy (Jeremy Glazer) may manage to get an investigation going despite him. Hill) offer help, but the interaction gets sticky in no time Sawyer knows how to defend herself, but soon she’s out in the woods, suffering a nasty leg wound and having injured the fellas just enough to make them want to hunt her down.Ĭutaways to the nearest town suggest it’ll be a while before anyone starts looking for our hero. Hollister (Micah Hauptman) and Buck (Daniel R. Rust Creek is not a dialogue-driven film, especially in the action-driven first act, but Corfield’s telling micro-expressions keep us with her on every painful step of her journey.But GPS leads her astray, and while stuck many miles from the highway, she is approached by two brothers who’ve stumbled out of a hicksploitation flick. ![]() With Rust Creek she lives up to that promise, and McGowan wisely puts a lot of faith in Corfield’s hyper-expressive face to communicate without saying a word. Corfield made a lot of just a few moments on screen charismatic, strong chemistry with her scene partner (Tom Cruise, no less), and one of those faces seemingly made for lighting up a screen. I’ve been waiting to see a solid starring vehicle for Corfield since her memorable bit part in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, where she plays the ill-fated record shop attendant in the film’s opening minutes. One quick and violent encounter with two local yokels later - which demonstrates Sawyer is a hyper-competent, quick-thinking fighter - and Sawyer is running through the dense woods with a deep wound and no sense of direction. Like many survival thrillers, Rust Creek follows a young college co-ed, Sawyer ( Hermione Corfield) into a remote forest, where she gets lost on her way to an important job interview. Screenwriter Julie Lipson and director Jen McGowan aren’t as interested in putting their heroine through a graphic, exploitative wringer (though they indulge in the thrills of survivalism in the film’s familiar first act) as they are invested in the character drama of her survival. Fortunate then, that there are films like Rust Creek that surprise by leaning into the strengths of the backwoods thriller while subverting the predicted beats. Which is all to say that when you start a movie and see an ambitious young city girl get lost in the woods, you feel like you’ve got a pretty strong sense of where this is all going to go. Evil, joining the ranks of zombie movies, slashers, vampires and the other horror staples so popular they spawn self-referential humor. We’ve seen so many fish out of water horror over the years and the deep woods killer/rapist has become such a recognizable trope that it got the meta-horror treatment with Tucker and Dale vs. ![]() If you’ve watched enough thrillers, you know that nothing good comes to city folk who wander into the backwoods. Mlb pirates5/4/2023 ![]() ![]() The attendance for the game was 11,278, all of whom got to see history made. The Phillies were a lowly 57-77 and in last place in the division. The Pirates entered the game with a record of 81-56, and were in first place in the National League East by 4½ games over the St. The historic game was played between the Pirates and division rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on a Wednesday night at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. On September 1, 1971, the Pirates fielded an all-Black lineup of African-American and Latino players. That season the Pirates went on to win the World Series, but along the way they also achieved a first in the history of major-league baseball. They were probably the most diverse team in the major leagues, featuring 13 players of Latin or African-American descent on their roster, including their best two players, Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente. The 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates were a special team in a multitude of ways. On September 1, 1971, the Pirates fielded an all-Black lineup of African-American and Latino players, a first in the history of Major League Baseball.

And if you also have Garmin’s GTN-type navigators and a Flight Stream Bluetooth system, you can port that flight plan right into them, also fairly easily. If your thing is to sit at the breakfast table unsociably ignoring everyone else while you plan, brief and file a flight plan, you’ve found your magic in the pilot app. Because of the bright screen, it’s easier to stab at the right icon with fewer uncommanded actions.Ĭompared straight up against Garmin’s Pilot app, the aera 660 is a mixed bag in capability. It’s a capacitive interface, not the older resistive design, so it’s just sensitive enough for scrolling and pinch scaling, without being oversensitive, as tablets sometimes are. Garmin’s execution of touchscreen control on the aera 660 is as good as we’ve seen from them. That means some display features will appear smaller, as does the typography. The tradeoff is that it’s not a 9-inch display-nor the iPhone 6S Plus 5.5-inch screen. It’s actually similar to the more expensive aera 796, which has become a staple in LSA and EAB panels.ĭepending on your cockpit and tastes, the aera 660 has an advantage over a full-size tablet or even a 9-inch display in that it yoke mounts easily and more securely without obscuring the rest of the panel. Both devices have color TFT displays with backlighting, but the 660’s screen rez is 480 by 800 pixels, three times the density of the 500 series. The 660’s overall size is just 0.2 inch wider and 0.1 inch taller than the aera 500 series, but the display is 5.08 inches on the diagonal compared to 4.3 inches for the 500 aeras. ![]() Since it does less, the aera is less susceptible to the burps, lockups and dead ends that occasionally trouble apps. Second, the aera operating system-and the physical hardware-is more robust. The first is that its display is brighter, sharper and more sunlight readable, a difference that’s obvious when the devices are placed side by side. It’s stupid large for a phone, but some buyers like the larger display.Īgainst these products, the aera has two surprising advantages, in our view. Might as well throw the iPhone 6S Plus in there, too. The 660’s overall size is between a largish smartphone like the Apple iPhone 6S and a small tablet, say the iPad mini or the Android-based Samsung Galaxy Tab S or the Nexus 7 or 9. aera decision is not quite so slam dunk as we imagined it would be. Has Garmin come adrift from market reality here? Can such a thing compete with tablets and phones? The short answer is yes it can and it is, but not in anything like the buying frenzy volume that we saw a decade ago when the tablet was still a lab-bench prototype.įor this article, we’re comparing the aera 660 to Garmin’s Pilot app, which we’ll use as a surrogate in general for other apps. The introduction of the $849 aera 660 in April shows that Garmin still thinks there’s a viable market for a GPS navigator that, although full featured, doesn’t run apps, play amusing games, pay at Starbucks or do a million other things that smartphones do. If smartphones and tablets have seized the high ground for cockpit navigation, Garmin showed last spring that it’s not quite ready to surrender its piece of the dedicated portable navigator market.

Carla walker5/4/2023 is directly linked to the ongoing struggle for climate and environmental justice. The fight to restore and protect voting rights in the U.S. As Biden said in Atlanta, “The fundamental right to vote is the right from which all other rights flow.” Consolidating or closing polling locations in densely populated communities will result in voters waiting in line for hours to cast their ballots.Īnd when a person’s right to vote is suppressed, their voice is silenced and their influence is reduced on a multitude of issues. Removing or reducing drop boxes for absentee voters eliminates one of the most convenient voting options. Subversive tactics like interfering with local election administration undermine local control and public confidence. Instead, these bills will prevent people from casting their votes.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been chipped away at by recent Supreme Court actions. The Freedom to Vote Act would establish national standards to expand access to voting, prevent voter suppression and election sabotage, as well as modernize voter registration. This would not only serve as a huge blow to American democracy, but it would also be a step backward for environmental justice and climate action.Ĭongress has two opportunities to pass national legislation to protect voting rights.

Georgia is currently ground zero in this battle since sweeping changes to the state’s election laws last year prompted lawsuits for targeting the rights of voters of color. ![]() In Atlanta, President Biden recently raised the alarm about the proliferation of dangerous state laws across the country aimed at further suppressing and subverting the right to vote, and invoked the need for federal-level voter protection interventions. |
