![]() A neat bonus round gives Carnage’s backstory, too. The Venom table gives Spider-Man’s symbiote nemesis a spotlight, but the wall-crawler himself co-stars, despite already having a table of his own. This is easily the best audio I’ve ever heard from one of the game’s tables. Whoever was in charge of audio selection should be commended. Familiar quotes from the series come so fast and frequently on both tables that it’s hard to notice. Each of these tables is remarkably profanity-free, but the game never feels sanitized. When Acclaim’s South Park was released on Nintendo 64, I was only 14-years-old, and the language made it hard to play in front of my parents. Still, with these two tables being sold together, they really complement one another well.Īmazingly, Zen Studios delivers an authentic South Park experience while keeping the show’s more risqué references to a minimum. With so many other characters on the regular board, there’s just a bit more variety. That said, his table is just a tiny bit weaker than the regular South Park board. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have gotten a lot of mileage out of his character, and Zen Studios does a perfect job of adapting some of his more memorable exploits. Butters is easily the South Park character best suited to carry his own table. Most notably, “Fun With Weapons” and “Awesome-o” give the board a hefty amount of quotes, bonus rounds, and more. The second table is centered around Butters and, as a result, ends up referencing later episodes in the series. I’m a bit of a lapsed fan myself, but the game really made me want to revisit the series. If you’ve ever been a fan of South Park, I can’t recommend this enough. Episodes like “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe” and “Manbearpig” provide the majority of the table’s references, and a plethora of sound bites help channel the heart of the series. While the character was killed off after a real-life altercation between the creators and voice actor Isaac Hayes, the character once played a pivotal role in the series, and seeing him again really pushes some nostalgia buttons. The first is based heavily on classic South Park, featuring just about every major character from the series, and more than a few minor ones, as well. The South Park bundle gives fans two different tables to choose from. While most of these tables are offered as separate packages, they were sent to us together for review purposes, which is how we’ve chosen to grade them. Since then, developer Zen Studios has released a number of additional tables for the Wii U eShop title. Don’t see your team available yet? Zen Studios has assured us that they “have interest from other clubs and may add more in the future.” Have you tried out the latest table available for Zen Pinball 2 yet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.Last fall, I had the pleasure of reviewing the latest table expansion for Zen Pinball 2. Pinball fans will enjoy all the ramps and challenge of playing through five games to “win,” and fans of the sport will certainly enjoy seeing their favorite club in pinball form. There’s even announcers that react to the on-screen action.Īside from the sport theme, the table itself is pretty full-featured, with all the elements you’d expect. There are a lot of nods to the game of football/soccer, such as removing defenders out of your way before trying to shoot a goal, free kicks, and tackles to save your ball. Hit the “Longball” ramp enough times and you can try for a goal in the upper playfield. ![]() There are a multitude of ramps, and successive “kicks” of your ball into alternating ramps moves the ball towards the opponent’s goal – the scoreboard updates player and ball positions from time to time. Don’t think you can just trap the ball and wait, though – the opposing team will eventually score a goal against you if you do nothing. If you can keep the ball alive long enough, you’ll reach halftime, which gets rid of most of the table’s rules and enters a four-ball multiball mode. The Super League Football table has you playing as your chosen team over a five-game mini season, each lasting the standard 90 minutes (which obviously go by much more quickly than real-time). Again, the table itself does not change, so if you really only have allegiance to one team you may only want to buy the table and pick your club. Each team’s mascot comes to life on the left side of the table, and will toy around with a ball based on your progress in the game. This includes the ramps, playfield art, flippers, team anthem, and more. Instead, the table’s look and feel changes to match your chosen team’s colors. If you’re wondering, the table layout does not change per team.

![]() Many nice items don’t require in-app purchases. Unfortunately, there is not currently a trading system. However, many items that were TinierMe premium Gacha items can now be purchased using free in-game currency. Limited time Gachas are still used to obtain unique items. (Somebody should start a subreddit for this.) Unlike TinierMe, which was more of a social networking site, CoCoPPaPlay has virtually no social features. You visit someone else’s fashion show, press a button, and gain exp and quest items. Gameplay uses a simple “do this and come back later” energy system. The leader character represents your avatar, while the 1-2 side characters can either come from your inventory or they can be your friends’ avatars. Instead of dressing up a Flash-animated avatar, you put together a “fashion show” that consists of 1-3 characters and a large backdrop. It’s a simple dress-up game that uses TinierMe’s graphics. Bonus for those of you who like pixel/animated avatars.I’m (very) late on this, but GCrest has collaborated with another company to release an app called CoCoPPaPlay. The other generators on the site aren't quite on par IMO. Elouai's Candybar series has so many combinations, it takes hours to sort through everything. Another option if you like pixeled avatars.īlast from the past. Small selection, kind of unwieldy to use, but it exists. Be sure to use the ENGLISH version listed right below the Japanese link.

Most of them are kind of low quality (and most of them are women) but, hey. there's so many generators here I think it'd be a waste not to at least mention it. Now, I know this is actually a dress-up game site directed towards younger kids, but, honestly. It also generates code for you to display your avatar if you're too lazy to take a screencap like me. If you like cute, anime styled avatars, this might be up your alley. I shit you not.īased on the late Tinierme, Dreamselfy has a great selection of variously themed outfits, and many items are animated at that. The only catch is that, to make really good avatars, you probably need a working knowledge of Gaia's item database. I usually do the latter, and it suits me well enough. Unfortunately, the free, non-signup Gaia avatar tool formerly known as is no longer online, but you can make an account on Gaia and use either the new avatar builder or use the search function in your closet to find items you want. With its huge ass selection of items, it's easy to make a wide range of characters, from sci-fi to fantasy and beyond. If you have any more, please me so I can add them to the list!

Professor Whelan said this translated to further risks for banks if a large enough proportion of customers began to default on their mortgage.Īn APRA spokesman told ABC Investigations: "Banks were still expected to use a floor, but APRA's new guidance allowed them to set their own level, which APRA monitors to ensure it is prudent." While the banks were lending more, it also shifted the onus of responsibility to the customer to make sure they could service the debt over the life of the loan. He said the watering down of regulations led to a change in the "power dynamic" between lenders and borrowers. Stephen Whelan says borrowers were pushed to their borrowing limit and that is risky for lending institutions. He added the serviceability minimum was there to also protect lenders beyond just "a point in time" and to "keep the longer-standing credit quality of mortgage portfolios at a prudent level".Īcross his four decades in the financial sector, Mr Homan observed lending institutions pushing borrowers to their absolute limit if the prudential regulations permitted it. "They have had a tendency to rely on the lending shop to tell them … 'Why borrow $500,000, when you can afford, you know, $1 million?'" "I think it's been almost frightening that people, in their own mind, don't have a sense of what the maximum mortgage is that they want or they're comfortable with. "It was designed to not have people over-gear themselves too much," he said. Mr Homan - who left APRA in 2016 to join the private sector before retiring this year - said the floor was a safety net for many borrowers who did not have the financial literacy to make accurate assessments of their future incomes and trusted the financial institution to advise them on what they could afford. ![]() The COVID-19 property boom is set to bite back against hundreds of thousands of borrowers holders over the next year. "The borrowing public needs some form of hedge against rising rates … they need some sort of protection," Mr Homan told ABC Investigations. It was a move that, Mr Homan said, with some benefit of hindsight, had led to a "bad outcome" for many Australians who had cashed in on the COVID-19 property boom and were now facing financial hardship as interest rates returned to historically average levels. Its removal was welcomed by then-treasurer Josh Frydenberg "as a positive development" that would "spur lending growth". However, the interest rate floor was scrapped by APRA in 2019, after lobbying from the banking sector. That floor meant lenders began assessing borrowers' ability to make repayments against a minimum of 7.25 per cent interest. It ensured that, if they procured their loan in a "lower-interest-rate environment" - like the one during the pandemic - they were not caught out when those rates rose. The architect of a crucial safeguard designed to protect the banking system from the risk of a widespread mortgage crisis says it should never have been abolished by the financial regulator.Īs the head of credit risk at the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Glenn Homan oversaw the introduction of a serviceability "floor" in 2014, as part of the regulator's attempt to rein in risky lending that was fuelling a runaway housing market. ![]() Oh, but there’s more, and it’s a cool new feature. Now, Lightroom is watching that folder and anything you import into that folder would be automatically imported into Lightroom. Next, where it says “Watched Folder” click on the ‘Choose’ button and find that empty “Upload to Lightroom” folder and choose that. STEP NINE: When the Auto Import Settings window appears (seen above) turn on the “Enable Auto Import” checkbox at the top of the window. STEP EIGHT: In Lightroom Classic, go under the File menu, and under Auto Import choose ‘Auto Import Settings…’ as shown above. OK, now we head over to Lightroom Classic – make one change and we’re off to the races! (so to speak). IMPORTANT: go delete that test file - it needs to be empty when you designate this folder as a “Watched” folder by Lightroom, so go ahead and delete it now so don’t have to later. STEP SEVEN: At this point I usually take a test shot and make sure that when I take a shot it does indeed appear in that folder (and here’s our test, and yes it worked, first time I might add). ![]() It will bring up a standard “open” window on your computer, and this is where you navigate to that empty folder you created back in Step Four (I named mine “Upload to Lightroom”) and choose that folder as where the shots you take while tethered will be saved. STEP SIX: in the Remote software, go under the ‘Remote’ Menu (on Mac) or the Tools menu on Windows and choose ‘Save Folder’ (as shown here). The model name doesn’t look like the actual model name I was expected, but it was only choice I had, and the only one connected, so I double-clicked on it to connect it, and it worked. Anyway, if you don’t see your camera appear in this list, hit the refresh button (well, I had to anyway). When you do this, a window will pop-up and you have to designate which camera you want connected to the software (hey, you could have multiple cameras attached. STEP FIVE: Now launch Sony’s Imaging Edge Remote software on your computer. Also, I usually give this empty folder a very descriptive name so there’s no question what this folder is for (as you can see, I named mine “Upload to Lightroom” because anything I put in this folder will automatically imported into Lightroom). You’ll choose this folder in just a minute inside of the Sony Imaging Edge Remote Application. STEP FOUR: Go create an empty folder - this is where the images you take on your Sony camera are going to be saved to when you start your shoot. STEP THREE: Take a micro-USB cable (like the one you see above), and connect the small end to the USB port on your Sony camera (on the A7R II it’s on the side), and plug the other end (the larger end) into your computer’s regular USB port. It’s a small application (file size wise) and an easy install. Included in this free software bundle is the desktop application ‘Imaging Edge Remote’ which is what you need to send images directly from your Sony camera to your computer. STEP TWO: Go download and install Sony’s free Imaging Edge software. ![]() STEP ONE: On your Sony camera (this is an A7R II mirrorless) go to your USB Connection menu and change the setting from the default of “Auto” to “PC Remote” (as seen above). OK, Sony’s can’t tether directly into Lightroom (Sony won’t share their secret tethering code with Adobe, like Nikon and Canon have for years), so we have to use a workaround…but hey, it works. ![]() Defender Cargo Pants Ripstop Cargo Pants Burton Cargo Pant Nautica Cargo Pants Iu Pants Men's Work Pants Men's Cargo Pants Columbia …Carhartt’s corduroy pants are an affordable and stylish option for any man who is looking to step up his corduroy game.

On 13 June 1988, he married Matilde de Solís-Beaumont y Martínez de Campos in the Seville Cathedral. Later in 2015, he ceded two titles – Duke of Huéscar to his elder son and heir apparent Fernando, and Count of Osorno to his younger son Carlos. The succession to most of the titles was officially confirmed in 2015 except for the Lordship ( Señorío) of Moguer and the County of Modica that have been inherited traditionally. Upon the death of his mother in 2014, he was first in line to succeed as 19th Duke of Alba (and Grandee of Spain) and also to inherit 38 other titles (10 of them with a Grandeeship of Spain). He is also a Knight of the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla. He is in charge of the House of Alba Foundation and, thus, in principle of a great deal of the significant House of Alba heritage and patrimony. He obtained a degree in law at the Complutense University of Madrid and now works as an adviser for several cultural institutions, such as the Hispania Nostra Foundation, the Valencia de Don Juan Institute, and the Hispanic Society of America. He is a direct descendant of James II of England. ![]() In 1951 (at the age of 2), he became the 14th Duke of Huéscar – a title which was ceded to him by his grandfather, Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart, 17th Duke of Alba and 13th Duke of Huéscar. He was born in Madrid and is the eldest son of Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, 18th Duchess of Alba (28 March 1926 in Madrid – 20 November 2014 in Seville) and her first husband, Luis Martínez de Irujo (17 November 1919 in Madrid – 6 September 1972 in Houston), a younger son of the 9th Duke of Sotomayor.

Completing it unlocked some nice extras like mirror mode in custom races. ![]() It helped me to learn the game and the levels. Many of these are unlocked automatically as completing levels, but some need to be unlocked in the shop, which will be explained later.Īside from a couple of difficulty spikes, I enjoyed story mode a lot. Tons of characters get unlocked in the story mode too. It’s possible just to jump into Chocobo GP mode, but even beyond teaching the basics like drifting, it gives some detailed tips on how types of magic work. The reason why it’s best to start here is that it goes through tutorials throughout the entire story. But for the most part, it was just fun to see the comedic moments and appreciate the cheesy (but well-performed) voice acting. There is a twist or two along the way, one which certainly made Chocobo GP feel like it fits in as a Final Fantasy game. Logic often doesn’t apply too, especially when the story is matched up with the requirements to win. It’s a fairly child-friendly story and not too serious. There are plenty of references and the occasional piece of fourth-wall breaking. Many familiar Final Fantasy characters turn up, from summons like Shiva to characters like Vivi and Steiner. They and a variety of characters they meet along the way head towards the Grand Prix, having to help people and face challenges along the way – all solved by races. A greedy moogle and his chocobo friend hear about a race, with the prize said to be a wish that can grant their deepest desire. With that said, if you’re diving right into the full game, the story mode is the best place to start. I recommend giving it a try to see if you enjoy the game. Considering that this is the main mode, it’s quite generous. This gives access to the Chocobo GP mode and a couple of other things as a free demo. To clarify, I’m playing the full release of Chocobo GP. Keeping it is another matter.Ĭhocobo GP comes with six modes. One thing I really enjoyed about this kart racer is that getting first place was usually not too difficult. If the sharp turns and the falling off the edge weren’t enough, it’s bright and has patches of rainbow colors. While one of the extreme examples, there’s a Golden Saucer course that feels inspired by Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road. Weaving between plumes of fire, only to get shot by lightning or frozen by another player isn’t unusual. Learning their timing and keeping a constant eye on them is needed to survive the course. The environmental hazards go hard here too. Aside from the different balances between character speed, acceleration, and such, this helped to make trying different characters interesting as I unlocked them. These are sometimes very similar to items in giving a boost or a form of attack, but some are different like making the character invisible. After they are charged, a special power can be used. There are even portal items, which not just you but anyone can run into and teleport forward or backward.īeyond items, there are somewhat unique character abilities. From summoning Bahamut to tornados you can control, it has some interesting ones. Item pickups give you magicite, which lets you fling around a wide variety of magic. That said, it feels like one of the more chaotic kart racers I’ve played and I really enjoy it for that. There’s nothing too unusual, like Kandagawa Jet Girls where you’re playing as two characters. Along the way, there are environmental hazards, boosts, and item pickups to use. You drive a vehicle around a few laps of a racetrack. With some players raging over microtransactions, is there a gem shining under some controversial decisions? Or should you instead go for the near-simultaneous release of the newest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC?Ĭhocobo GP is your standard kart racer in terms of the basics. In a surprising revival of Chocobo Racing, Square Enix has released Chocobo GP – a kart racing game featuring some fan-favorite figures from Final Fantasy, along with some new entries. ![]() Whereas with the perpetual license, you wouldn’t be eligible for the maintenance renewal fee to re-instate maintenance.

![]() The BBC described Glitter's fall from grace as "dramatic" and "spectacular". The mostly instrumental "Rock and Roll, Part 2" has been played as a popular cheering song at American sporting events for several decades. In 1998, his recording of "Rock and Roll" was listed as one of the top 1,001 songs in music history. He released seven studio albums, and at least 15 greatest hits collections or live albums. He continued to record in the 1980s and 1990s, with his 1984 song "Another Rock n' Roll Christmas" becoming one of the most played Christmas hits of all time. Between 19, Glitter had 26 hit singles which spent a total of 180 weeks in the UK Top 100 twelve of those reached the Top 10, with three charting at number 1. A slight decline in the late 1970s was followed by a successful comeback as a solo artist again from the 1980s. From 1997, he returned to public notice for committing sex offences, being imprisoned for possession of child pornography in 1999, and child sexual abuse and attempted rape in 20.Īfter performing under the name Paul Raven in the 1960s, he first came to prominence as Gary Glitter in the glam rock era of the early 1970s, with a sustained solo UK chart run of hits including "Rock and Roll, Parts One and Two", "Do You Wanna Touch Me", "I Love You Love Me Love", "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)", and "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again". He sold over 20 million records, spent 168 weeks in the UK charts and had 21 hit singles placing him in the top 100 UK most successful chart acts. He was known for his extreme glam image of glitter suits, makeup and platform boots, and his energetic live performances. Paul Francis Gadd (born ), known by the stage name Gary Glitter, is an English former glam rock singer-songwriter and musician who achieved great popular success between the early 1970s and mid-1980s. |
