Rocky Balboa: Absolutely phenomenal, a perfect send off to Rocky and with some of the best scenes and performances in the franchise. It's actually a very well done character drama and Rocky is now one of my favourite movie protagonists if all time. Rocky: I was really shocked when I first watched this movie, expecting it to be a really lame action movie. The action is also actually great in this film, the Leo Sporano fight is perfect, and one of my favourite action scenes in any movie.Ģ. There are also nice small things like the Suicide Squad style banners that come up when a new boxer walks in showing their win loss record. Michael B Jordan is really likable in this film and the arc they gave to Rocky is very well done. Creed: It's very much like the first movie but cleaner. I adore that it kept the same tone and feel of the first one, and continued the story in a natural way. The story itself is really good, Tommy is one of the best villains in the Rocky films and I like that they stuck to their guns of not having rocky go back into the ring and walk into a fight.Ĥ. Especially as it paved the way for 'Adrian's' in Balboa which is lovely. I think the Balboa's losing all their money was a bit abrupt but not a bad change. I don't follow the Rocky fandom I don't know where the hate comes from. "If I say it, you won't believe it, but when Rocky said it, it was the truth.5. Stallone once lamented that he would never have a voice like Rocky again, where he could just speak whatever he felt in his heart. His reprisal of the iconic character in 2015's Creed earned him another Oscar nomination, this time for Best Supporting Actor. Made for $1.1 million, Rocky grossed more than $225 million at the box office and even earned Stallone nominations for Best Actor and Best Screenplay in 1977. "This is one of things where you just roll the dice and you fly by the proverbial seat of your pants," Stallone reminisced. Even after being offered $350,000, Stallone still refused, even though he only had $100 in his bank account.įinally, a deal was reached between Stallone and the producers: he would be allowed to star in the role but only if he waived his writing fee and accepted a meager $35,000 acting salary. Producers were immediately interested in the script but Stallone refused to sell unless they allowed him to star as the boxer. Three days later, Stallone finished the first draft of Rocky. Stallone said he saw the moment as a metaphor for life and was inspired to write a screenplay about another underdog, Rocky Balboa. Having an interest in writing, Stallone found his greatest inspiration on March 24, 1975, when he witnessed boxing heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali get knocked down by underdog Chuck Wepner. "I was at the end - the very end of my rope," Stallone said in commentary for the Rocky DVD in 2001. At his lowest point, Stallone sold his family dog because he could no longer afford to feed him. An accident during childbirth left part of his face and tongue paralyzed, giving him his distinctive snarled expression and slurred speech.Īn outcast his entire life, Stallone saw acting as an outlet, though his face and voice were factors in his constant rejection for roles. In the early 1970s, Stallone was often destitute, and even homeless, while struggling to find work.

Some Rogues need certain skills and abilities in order to use specific weapons or magical devices like wands and scrolls. The Rogues of Pathfinder generally all favor the same Ability Scores, but there are some differences depending on what Archetype and party role you choose. They're one of the easiest classes to build and play as well as being the most versatile, so adventurers of all experience levels can have a great time building and playing a Rogue. They can pick locks and pockets, move quietly, and stay hidden in the shadows. Rogues in Pathfinder are similar to their counterparts that can be found elsewhere. Along with some unique options that are only found in the franchise, players who are new to Pathfinder can choose a familiar class as well. There are plenty of classes to choose from in the Pathfinder universe, which is one of the ways the franchise sets itself apart from the competition. RELATED: Dungeons & Dragons Or Pathfinder: Which TTRPG Is Right For You? The previous installment in the video game series, Kingmaker, also used the rules from the Pathfinder universe. Pathfinder has come to computers and more recently, consoles in the form of Wrath of the Righteous. Role-playing games have grown and developed along with video games, so it's natural that plenty of tabletop RPGs have electronic counterparts.
It took Google over two years to migrate to a new interface, the Pepper Plugin API (PPAPI) which, among other things, is better sandboxed. As browsers add compelling features like sandboxing, GPU acceleration, and a multi-process architecture, the legacy of NPAPI severely impedes or outright prevents us from extending those improvements to any pages with plug-in content. Unfortunately, as the web evolved, the past benefits of NPAPI became liabilities. But that was an old interface and, over time, it got in the way of change. Google explained this in an August 8th blog, The road to safer, more stable, and flashier Flash.Ĭhrome used to communicate with its embedded copy of the Flash player using an interface called NPAPI. What Adobe and Krebs missed is the fact that Chrome changed on July 31, 2012. On three Windows machines that I checked, each with the latest edition of Chrome (v.79), the version of Flash was 11.3.31.227. His Chrome is indeed slow on the uptake, but that's not why his Flash is in the 31 family rather than the 300 family. Krebs blamed this on his copy of Chrome being "sluggish" to self-update. Had he looked at my site, he would have seen that the last few versions were all in the 300 family. This is a big difference, as the third number is 31 rather than 300. Krebs noticed something he couldn't explain his copy of Chrome was at version 11.3.31.225. Too many zeros and threes.Īs for the Adobe tester page, my guess is that Adobe is a big bureaucracy and something fell through the cracks, so that the page was not updated.Īs for the Adobe security bulletin being wrong, my guess is that Adobe and Google crossed wires. My guess is that Krebs made a typo, and that he meant to write 11.3.300.270. 11.3.330.270." If you're keeping score at home, that's three different reports on the latest version of Flash for Chrome.Īnd, they are: wrong, wrong and wrong again. He wrote that "Chrome users want to be at v. As I write this, it's more than a day after the new version of Flash was released.īrian Krebs covers this stuff too, it was on his blog that I first learned of the Flash player upgrade. Likewise, it seems back dated for Linux users of Chrome, stating that version 11.2.202.236 is the latest and greatest. There, it says that for Chrome users on Windows and OS X the latest version of Flash is 11.3.300.265 (older than the security bulletin). Adobe has a Flash tester page (my term, not theirs) at /software/flash/about/ (see below). Linux users on version 11.2.202.236 and earlier should upgrade to version 11.2.202.238īut, it seems that the left hand at Adobe doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Likewise, Chrome users on OS X and Windows, running version 11.3.300.270 and earlier should also upgrade to version 11.3.300.271 Windows and Macintosh users running version 11.3.300.270 or earlier, should upgrade to 11.3.300.271 Yesterday was a big day for the Flash player, a new version was released that fixed a security bug. In the Security bulletin detailing the problem (APSB12-18), Adobe said This used to be considered a bad thing, now, that's not so clear. Sadly, the topic is now begging for someone to pull it all together.įirst off, anyone using an iOS device (iPhone, iPad) can go read another blog, there is no Flash for you. So, I was more than happy never to write about Flash again.

How to Get Started With 1Password Families Do yourself a favor and acknowledge that password management is one of those things that is worth the small investment to do right. This doesn’t include all the passwords I have for work (which I use a separate 1Password account for) or any of my family’s passwords. I gave up trying to manually manage the mess that is passwords many years ago and I am now up to just under 1000 items stored just in my personal 1Password account. You can either try to simplify that mess by reusing the same or similar user IDs and passwords (which is extremely dangerous) or develop some kind of password creation equation/system (which is complicated and too much work). Passwords and logins are just a bag of hurt. I’m not sure what to say here that isn’t already common knowledge. If one of those websites or services has any kind of security breach, 1Password will notify you and let you know what you need to do with your account to stay safe. Watchtower service, which constantly checks for security breaches in all of the accounts and services you have stored in 1Password.All accounts retain a history of all password changes or deletions for a year so it’s easy to go back and recover old passwords.1 Gb of secure cloud storage for your family vaults.The standard $4.99 per month covers up to 5 people (and they don’t have to all be from the same household) with each additional person for $1 per month per person.So install 1Password on as many devices as you want and it’s all the same price per month and all future application updates are free. You get an unlimited number of application downloads and they are all free.The 1Password Sync Service comes with the subscription, so there is no need to set up a separate syncing account like DropBox or iCloud.So what additional benefits do you get when you opt for the 1Password Families service? Plus you get the benefit of protecting not just you, but your entire family. If you were to buy the iOS and Mac versions of 1Password just for yourself, you could instead get one year’s worth of 1Password Families for less money and get a lot more for your buck. I know, trying to sell someone on a monthly service (unless it’s Netflix) can be a hard sell. This video does a really good job of explaining how 1Password works:ġPassword Families works just like buying the 1Password app, except you get a lot of extra benefits because with 1Password Families, you are buying into a monthly service. So not only is it very secure but it is much more convenient than having to try to remember your login information and manually type it in. It will also generate strong passwords for you and then fill in your login credentials for you when logging into a web service online. But 1Password is more than just a place to store passwords. It also stores all of your digital account information like bank account logins, Twitter and Facebook account credentials, wi-fi passwords, and pretty much any other piece for information that is important enough to keep in a safe place. This includes physical accounts/credentials like your and your children’s Social Security cards, health insurance cards, credit cards, and passports. The 1Password application would then be your one place where you store all of the login information for all of your accounts. Up until this year you would buy each of these applications separately (i.e., you would buy the application for mobile, iOS, or Android, and then again for your computers: Mac or Windows). What Is 1Password? An example of what you can store in 1Password (From )ġPassword is a suite of password management applications for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. So if you are looking for a geek New Year’s task, get the whole family set up with a secure password manager. Now everyone in your family can have a separate 1Password account, but also share a “shared” vault which enables you all to share information between each other quickly and securely. 1Password makes strong password management even easier with their new service called 1Password Families. requires fewer clicks or keypresses to accomplish a task, like generating a new password or finding an existing login, than the competitors do.The start of 2017 is the perfect opportunity to up your family’s game with respect to password security. And all your secure information is available on all your devices, so you always have it handy. All your other passwords and important information are protected by your Master Password, which only you know. With 1Password, you only ever need to remember one password. “This is why all the Hooters girls are upset - because this is not what I agreed to wear a year ago when I was hired.” She wore a pair of gray leggings under the shorts in order to avoid flashing too much skin to her nearly 140,000 TikTok followers. “There’s no longer anything covered by these shorts,” Songer, a University of South Carolina School of Medicine student, said in a video. In the uniform policy update, Hooters also warned that waitresses and bartenders who feel “uncomfortable” about the tiny new trunks mandate are welcome to put in their letters of resignation. 4, all Hooters girls should wear the new shorts when working once they arrive to stores,” reads a recent Hooters policy notice obtained exclusively by The Post. “The old shorts should not be worn.” “Oh look, a wedgie!” exclaimed Hooters waitress Kristen Songer, 22, in a trending TikTok of herself modeling the chicken eatery’s new skintight, bikini-cut black bottoms.

As they prepare to leave, Ayumi decides to perform the Sachiko Ever After charm with her classmates to comfort Mayu Suzumoto over her upcoming school transfer. Seiko stays after school with her class during Kisaragi Academy's cultural festival to listen to Ayumi Shinozaki's ghost stories about Heavenly Host Elementary School. In the game, it is described that she has a perverted side. She easily becomes upset whenever anyone takes her feelings towards her mother's disappearance lightly. She is not without a responsible side, however, which she developed after her mother disappeared two years ago in order to support her father and care for her three younger siblings. She generally tries to maintain this personality even while trapped inside Heavenly Host, though the grim reality of their situation nearly causes her to suffer from an emotional breakdown several times. She often comes across as immature and crass and makes over-the-top outbursts that surprise everyone around her, but her friends are able to put up with it. Seiko is an extremely cheerful and energetic girl who enjoys playing around with her friends. In Corpse Party: Live Action Movie, she has 2 pigtails and no curls under her ears. Her student ID is pinned on the top left side of her skirt. She wears the standard Kisaragi Academy Senior High female uniform consisting of a tan colored sailor outfit with a blue collar, light blue cuffs, yellow ribbon held by a blue brooch, blue pleated skirt, black knee-high socks and white uwabaki slippers with blue stripes near the soles. Seiko has a natural kitty mouth/smile, which is especially noticeable when she's being devious and/or perverted. She also wears a blue barrette on the left side of her head. She has light brown eyes and long brown hair (colored orange in the manga adaptation) that she styles into two curls on both sides of her head, just beneath her ears. Seiko is a teenage girl with below-average height and build. She is the older sister of Yuu Shinohara, Kei Shinohara, and Aya Shinohara. She is a student of Kisaragi Academy Senior High School's classroom 2-9 and a victim of Heavenly Host.

Having covered the objects’ appearances, we shall now move on to the other significant presence, the cast, which has seen more clarity yet, unfortunately, more backlash than the plot. Thanks to the 30-second first-look teaser previewed last September during the 2022 D23 Expo presentation, the key essences of the narrative, such as the cottage in the woods, the magic mirror, and of course, the poisoned apple, have been confirmed to make appearances in the flick. Yet rest assured, not all are altered otherwise, it wouldn’t be a Snow White story. Related: Disney: The Evolution of Princesses in Movies No, this version, as the casted female lead said, is about “a young woman who has a function beyond Some Day My Prince Will Come,” the song's meaning of which promotes the outdated convention on women. So in a similar spirit, Snow White will no longer present the overtly submissive “Fairest One of All” having to suffer the wrath of her wicked, vain stepmother resignedly. Although, this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise considering the age-old fable has gone through several modern cinematic retellings across the American market, namely Mirror Mirror with its active protagonist (and fabulous costumes) and Snow White and the Huntsman with its warrior of a princess (as well as the beautifully designed costumes). But one thing to be made clear: albeit sans plot at present, this live-action adaptation will employ a more contemporary approach. => 2 There are 1830g in a Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. *Notice: Approximate pre-cooked weights, actual weight may vary.

Unfortunately, the game does a sneaky on you and you’ll lose most of your collected equipment between episodes, but you shouldn’t find it too difficult to find and balance your ammo and flares when required. There are plenty of times where it’s best to just flee the scene than fight, though keen eyes will find plenty of secret stashes that can load you up with all the tools you’ll need to survive. Or you can do what I do and run as fast as you can to the nearest light pole, which is a more than fair tactic. You’ll find plenty of occasions where the Taken will surround you at all sides, so the more you can bank these key items and use them when things are most dire, the better. Said weapons include pistols and shotguns, the usual fare, but true power remains in light creation through flashbangs and flare guns which can both wipe out enemies in one blast. Some will take longer to burn, others more bullets to finally put down, but the same general mechanics remain across the story. The Taken, as the enemies will later be dubbed, are protected by the darkness like a shield, leading you to use the torch to burn it off them before taking them out with more conventional weapons. The key to the Alan Wake experience is darkness and light whereas most horror titles go down the road of jump scares and seemingly ridiculous monster designs, Remedy puts the focus on light itself as your true weapon, set amongst eccentric characters and foreboding scenery.Įarly on, the game introduces you to the basic mechanics through a nightmare sequence, where you’ll learn how important a humble torch will be. It’s not quite horror, not quite all-out blast fest, but the pieces come together to present a unique narrative that still holds up rather well all these years later. Spilt into chapters and presented like a TV series, Alan Wake is a Twilight Zone of ideas within a third-person action thriller. With the cops questioning him and a week wiped from his memory, Alan must piece together what happened and why the dark is suddenly out to get him. Unfortunately for Alan, things go pear shaped when a series of unfortunate events leads him down a path of shadowy monsters, nightmares turned real and his wife and humble holiday home going missing. Troubled by a two-year-long writer’s block, Alan Wake and wife Alice travel to the rather beautiful town of Bright Falls for a little rest and recuperation. All of that has thankfully changed now, thanks largely to the success of Control and the backing of Epic Games, which leads us to this surprise announcement and release of Alan Wake Remastered, a modern update that intends to re-introduce us to this peculiar world. Yes, the game had strong reviews when it first launched in 2010 (the same week as Red Dead Redemption, no less), but sales weren’t quite strong enough to afford the studio the chance to continue the story. There was a long time there where it felt like Alan Wake, a former Xbox 360 exclusive developed by Finnish studio Remedy, was never going to get its justified time in the sun. |
