![]() Speaking of tactical equipment, expect a lot of options – the official site lists deployable turrets, drones, and barricades, and we also see a grenade which reveals enemy outlines in the trailer. We don’t know if these classes will affect the available equipment or just alter the weapons you can make use of. Ghost Recon Frontline will feature a class system that you’ll be able to tinker with and set up ahead of matches. Intriguingly, one zone is marked as a “Hazard Zone”, which could indicate that different sectors will be made more dangerous to occupy in a similar fashion to PUBG’s red-zone bombardments. We get a brief look at the map at the end of the reveal trailer, with plenty of named regions such as Lumber Yard, Quarry, Brewery, Hot Springs, and Comm Station visible. The game also promises an “ever-changing” weather system that will force players to adapt their style of play. Ghost Recon Frontline is set on Drakemoor Island, a map which includes “diverse environments” with several different zones such as “high mountains” and “ruthless arid lands”. While we’ve only been given a brief glimpse of gameplay, Ubisoft has let slip several details about what to expect. Unlike the last few Ghost Recon titles, Frontline is played entirely from a first-person perspective. Ghost Recon Frontline gameplay, map, and class details There’s currently no release date for Ghost Recon Frontline, but you can sign up for the game’s first (PC-based) closed test this month by following the steps listed here. It’ll be free-to-play and will also support cross-play between all platforms. Ghost Recon Frontline will be available on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Stadia, and Luna. ![]() Ghost Recon Frontline features an advanced class system and large set of tactical support tools allowing for complete freedom in strategic gameplay, with multiple ways to outsmart enemy teams and win every fight.” Ghost Recon Frontline release date and platforms “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline is a free-to-play, tactical-action, massive PVP shooter grounded in the renowned Ghost Recon universe. ![]() In case that wasn’t clear enough, here’s the game’s official description: It’s a setup that should feel pretty familiar to anyone who’s played games like Hunt: Showdown or Escape From Tarkov. Survive for the required time and you can make it out with the goodies you’ve earned. Instead, any time a team attempts to extract, everyone else in the game will be alerted to their position and tasked with stopping them from escaping. Unlike most battle royale games, there’s no shrinking zone here. Teams of players will need to complete dynamic objectives across the map before attempting to extract. In a twist on the battle royale format, it drops more than 100 players into a massive multiplayer map and tasks them to complete a series of objectives. Ghost Recon Frontline is a new free-to-play multiplayer FPS from Ubisoft set in the Ghost Recon universe. Below, we’ll explain everything we know about Ghost Recon Frontline, including player counts, gameplay details, and when you can get stuck in. The mechanics here are quite different to the typical games in the genre. This isn’t Warzone or Apex Legends, however. Whether you’re eager for more battle royale or not, Ubisoft’s latest shooter drops the Ghost Recon franchise into the fray. Ghost Recon Frontline isn’t going to be what fans of the series have come to expect.

![]() Margaret "Mae" Borowski is a 20-year-old college dropout, who relocates back to her Rust Belt-inspired hometown of Possum Springs, where the closure of local coal mines has led to visible economic stagnation. That person might not know you as well by the end of the game, but this person you hung out with, you're going to get to see their storyline." Plot Players make decisions that affect the course of the story, though Benson said, "it's more like 'do you hang out with this person?' Okay, cool. Scott Benson described the key actions for the player as "explore, converse, see and touch", while Alec Holowka described their approach as "narrative-focused" rather than " gameplay-first". Paste magazine describes the themes covered as "mental illness, depression, the stagnancy of the middle and lower classes, and the slow death of small town America." Mae's friends also include Bea, a cigarette-smoking crocodile and Mae's childhood friend Gregg, a hyperactive fox and his boyfriend, a bear named Angus. She is forced to confront a horrible secret the town has hidden for decades involving not only the town's mine, but also the recent disappearance of her longtime friend Casey. Now living in her parents' attic, she discovers how much times have changed since the closing of the town's coal mines. Mae has returned home to Possum Springs, a town populated by zoomorphic humans. Night in the Woods received notable critical praise, mostly for its soundtrack, story, dialogue and characters. A version for iOS was released later on September 9, 2021. It features new content not seen in the first release, as well as the supplemental games. An extended version of the game, titled the Weird Autumn edition, was released for PC, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on December 13, 2017, and also for Nintendo Switch on February 1, 2018. The Xbox One version was released on December 13, 2017. The game was released on February 21, 2017, for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, and PlayStation 4, after a pushed-back original release date of January 10. In December 2014, a second supplemental game was released, titled Lost Constellation. Prior to the release of Night in the Woods, a companion game titled Longest Night was released in December 2013 by Holowka and Benson, along with co- writer Bethany Hockenberry. It is a story-focused exploration game in which the player follows a young woman named Mae Borowski, who recently dropped out of college and has returned to her hometown to find unexpected changes. The game was funded via Kickstarter, where it earned over 400% of its initial US$50,000 funding goal. Strange things are happening as the light fades.Night in the Woods is a 2017 single-player adventure video game developed by Infinite Fall and published by Finji. Leaves are falling and the wind is growing colder. ![]() Home seems different now and her friends have grown and changed. The official description for the game reads:Ĭollege dropout Mae Borowski returns home to the crumbling former mining town of Possum Springs seeking to resume her aimless former life and reconnect with the friends she left behind. "Night in the Woods" is all about exploration and story and features a whole host of characters and a lush, vibrant world. The original game was not released to the Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch so it looks like players of all platforms will finally be able to experience Mae's crazy adventures. Of course, just looking at the revealed platforms "Night in the Woods: Weird Autumn Edition" has been announced for, it goes without saying that the Nintendo Switch is the mystery console being talked about here. Stay tuned for news on another console, which I am unable to mention for reasons, but you know what console I'm talking about. ![]() ![]() However, the Twitter account is also teasing that the game is headed to another platform as well. This title is coming to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac and Linux on Dec. "Night in the Woods: Weird Autumn Edition" will come with never-before-seen content such as new petty crime type mini games and own hallucinatory dream sequences of Mae, the cat lead character of the game. As they tweeted, it is "great for first-timers and those who've played the game alike." "Night in the Woods: Weird Autumn Edition," the definitive edition of the recently released single-player adventure game, has been officially announced.Īs detailed on the official Twitter account for the game, this version is a perfect starting point for those who have not picked up the game yet. ![]() SS Handrails on top and sides of Pilothouse & top of Trunk Cabin Pulpit w/ roller and Molded Anchor Locker on Foredeck Frames, headliner, overhead lighting, ladder back chairs w/ cushions and footrest, companion seats, interior storage and grabrails.

And the fact that my M1 Air and my 2015 i7 5K iMac don’t feel like they’re two competing systems, it’s just all pretty damn remarkable. But thanks to the stability of both and the design choices made, Apple has really pulled it off and I’m pleased with the results. I liked the way my computer worked, and I liked how my phone worked differently. I was ultra resistant to the merger of iOS with MacOS, in theory. Notifications, focus, privacy, file system (I use Files on my phone quite a bit), password management. My iPhone 13 Pro Max feels like a mobile extension of MacOS now, and my intel iMac feels like a studio extension of iOS, but not in any way I could have foreseen. They’re just both so well refined, and there’s some logic to how both operate, that caries over between the two. I really did not expect to enjoy Monterey as much as I do. My computer isn’t noticeably slower on low power mode (unless building in Xcode or rendering in Final Cut).Īnother aspect with mentioning is that I use Overbridge in Logic Pro X to record my Digitakt and have had no problems there since updating. Now it never does and is back to lasting a good 5-7 hours of continuous use.Īlso, low power doesn’t seem to slow regular tasks down at all. ![]() Before updating my computer would randomly die on battery power. Monterey even solved my battery issues thanks to the addition of ‘low power mode’. It’s worth noting that I did a fresh install rather than an upgrade. It feels like Monterey is just really efficient. I have a friend with an M1 air and he commented that my laptop seems just as snappy as his. I updated my 2017 Base Model Pro (non Touch Bar, 8gb of ram, 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5) to Monterey from Mojave and it runs better than ever. This doesn’t address your specific question but but based on your iMac’s specs it may help. Looking for a tales of success or words of caution, and realizing that eventually new software updates for many products I use will require an OS newer than Mojave, so there’s some future proofing (as best I can) in mind as well. There are a few plugins I use that aren’t officially supported yet, but they still seem to work, and I’m sure that official support will come eventually. Monterey (12.2.1) has really been a dream on this M1 Air so far. Ableton projects hit similar CPU meter %s on both machines, so processor should be fine (4ghz quad i7). There are free options such as the Mac port of Foobar or VLC, but Swinsian offers an interesting proposition in how it interacts with iTunes or Apple Music, allowing. But my iMac does have a fast internal 1TB SSD, and 32GB RAM. If you’re a Mac user who prefers an offline music library and can’t use previous versions of iTunes, software options may seem a bit sparing. It works well and I never thought I’d even consider a look toward updating its OS, especially since Catalina on another machine was a bit sluggish, and Mojave has felt problem free. Especially in the various system preferences, and general setup areas, menubar, etc. It’s weird for me to say this, but I like how much parity it has to iOS. ![]() I’m actually really enjoying Monterey on my M1 Air, so I’m considering updating my iMac. This is listed as one of the oldest Macs compatible with Monterey. Anyone running Monterey on a late 2015 iMac 27" ? ![]() This guide will help players complete the Railroad Quest: Underground Undercover in Fallout 4. Players must have completed and worked with the Railroad on the Main Quest: The Molecular Level for this quest to become available. Proceed with this quest to continue working for the Railroad faction. If you were after help with any other areas of Fallout 4, then head over to our Fallout 4 guides walkthrough hub, featuring additional quest walkthroughs, as well as the locations for rare items like the X-01 Power Armor.Īfter having completed the Main Quest: The Molecular Level with help from the Railroad’s scientist, you should now have access to and from the Institute. It turns out there’s a guardian angel working from within the Institute that Desdemona wishes to contact. There’s just one problem: no one knows exactly who this guardian angel is. Agree to help Desdemona track down the Patriot, and report to Tinker Tom for further instructions. How to Complete the Underground Undercover QuestĪfter speaking with Desdemona, talk to Tinker Tom about his method for contacting the Patriot. You will receive a Network Scanner Holotape encoded with a secret message. Your task is to travel to the Institute, and upload the encrypted message onto one of their terminals. I entered with the BOS and successfully completed Outside the Wire. I have already completed Institutionalized. Upload Encrypted Message on Any Institute Terminal With any luck, the Patriot will discover the message and post a reply. All solutions are either fixing the ability to warn Desdemona about the BOS at the end of the quest or people missing the encrypted message holotape, which, again, is not what I’m missing. Travel to the Institute using the Relay on your Pip-Boy. Access one of the computer terminals, and insert the encoded Network Scanner Holotape. ![]() Select “Copy Encrypted Message” to upload the message to the terminal, then wait for a reply. In a few moments, Patriot will reply back with an encrypted message. Using the terminal, select the segment that reads “UrgentReply001” to see what they said. Patriot has successfully received Tom’s encrypted message, and asks to meet you in the Advanced Systems maintenance room. Head the Advanced Systems division, and enter the side hallway to locate the maintenance room where Patriot is waiting. Introduce yourself to Liam, and speak with him about the message. Afterward, follow him through the Institute and get acquainted with a synth named Z1-14, who collaborates with Liam on his inside jobs. Z1-14 is unsure about your trustworthiness, however. If your Charisma is high enough, try to convince Z1-14 by saying that you’re fighting for synth freedom.Īfter meeting Z1-14, speak with Liam once again. Liam has been trying to rig the security system within C.I.T. to aid his rescue plan, but has run into some trouble. He requires a username and password to access an old pre-war security program, named Code Defender. Head back to the Railroad HQ in the Old North Church to inform Desdemona of your progress. She tells you to consult PAM, but not before writing up a full report on your findings. ![]() Locate a room along the west wall containing a computer terminal and a robot standing nearby. PAM turns out to be the robot standing beside the terminal.Īccess the terminal, and select Enter Institute Report to input your findings. Sorry about posting this so late, I actually thought I'd posted a few hours after your response but I had to leave quickly for something important and completely forgot my post was sitting here waiting to get posted.How to Get the Password for Code Defender Talk to PAM, and she will scan her database for viable credentials for Patriot to use. If everything goes sour with the Railroad, I'll load the last save I made yesterday and continue the quest line for them at the Institute since I can do that and remain friends with the Minutemen (thanks for giving me that tip). I'll rather have it that way than loosing the Minutemen. If the BoS participates in attacking the Castle in the Defgend the Castle quest, then so be it. I think by doing things this way I can maintain peace with all three factions. ![]() I did give the holotape to the BoS, but before that I gave it to the Minutemen who made a copy, so it should still be completely possible to do the Nuclear Option for them. Do the Taking Independence, Old Guns, Defend the Castle, and hopefully end with being able to do The Nuclear Option for the Minutemen. I'm going to proceed with the Minutemen quests. I can still do the Railroad Safehouse 3 and 4 quests as well as the final two Mila quests, but after that I'll just leave them be. I did have the Railroad Underground, Undercover quest going at the Institute, but I'm going to leave that alone as well. My plan now is to not do anything more for the BoS, I'll not even enter the Prydwen. ![]() ![]() Many girls find chores such as seamless panty shopping a little awkward, but it's a great opportunity to pass on your experiences and support to help them make informed, educated choices about the right underwear to suit their activities, hobbies, and personal preferences.

Seamless Underwear : Find Your Perfect Seamless Panties ![]() He may no longer be Grindelwald in 'Fantastic Beasts,' but that doesn't mean his old friend Tim Burton won't do everything in his power to get Johnny cast in a career-revitalizing role. Regardless, Johnny seems to be a fan favorite, even if the powers that be in Hollywood threaten to dethrone him. At this point, Johnny still has a way to go to sort out his legal troubles, including a lawsuit that's working its way through the courts. That is, if his court dates fit in between filming sessions. If Tim has his way, though, Johnny could very well wind up being Gomez. Plus, in the old TV show, the head of the family was a "retired lawyer of Castillian Spanish ancestry." It makes sense that Gomez speaks Spanish to Morticia sometimes, then - but it also means Gomez isn't Latino at all.īut because the original show's Gomez was Raul Julia, a Puerto Rican actor, fans still think that Netflix (and everyone else other than Tim Burton) will probably favor a Latino or Hispanic actor for the role. Of course, fans on Quora note that the character's origins have never been clearly defined the original comics didn't name the characters. There's also the potential for backlash over Johnny's casting, and not just because of the headlines centering on his and Amber Heard's troublesome history.įans speculate that Netflix fears backlash over casting a non-Latino actor as Gomez Addams. Those same sources say that Netflix needs to be convinced, however. As one so eloquently put it, "Johnny Depp as Gomez Addams just makes the weirdest most perfect sense…" Tim Burton upcoming Movies list of all genres in year 2023 & 2024 you can see here through. Multiple 'sources' have hinted that Tim Burton has explicitly said he thinks Depp would be perfect as Gomez, and fans agree. And as rumor has it, Burton wants Depp to portray Gomez Addams. Today, though brands like Dior are still backing Johnny, fans on Quora point out that Netflix might not be so easily swayed by fans.īurton's next big project - 'The Addams Family' series - is slated to release via Netflix in 2022, confirms Deadline. RELATED: Johnny Depp Fans Defend Him After Lawyer Demands He's Dropped By Dior ![]() Added to that is the fact that the pair haven't worked on a film since 2012. Further details about the new plot for the project’s latest iteration are still being kept under wraps.But when it comes to future projects with Depp, Burton's hands might be tied to some extent. He is known for his gothic horror and fantasy films, such as Beetlejuice (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Corpse Bride (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Dark Shadows (2012), and Frankenweenie (2012). The project has been in development for more than three decades now, with Burton initially planning to set the sequel in Hawaii. This would mark Burton’s feature directorial comeback in four years after helming Disney’s live-action Dumbo. Tim Burton (born August 25, 1958) is an American film director, producer, artist, writer, animator, puppeteer, and actor. In the slasher sequel, the 20-year-old rising actress is reprising her role as Tara Carpenter, one of the teen survivors of the Woodsboro Legacy murders from the 2022 film.īeetlejuice 2 will once again be directed by Tim Burton. is targeting a late May or early June production start.īefore reprising Wednesday Addams in the highly-anticipated second season of the coming-of-age Netflix comedy, the audience can now see Ortega in Paramount Pictures’ Scream VI which is currently playing in theaters. officially announced that 'Beetlejuice 2' will arrive in theaters in 2024.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the rising young star is currently in negotiations for the leading role in the horror comedy sequel, with Michael Keaton expected to reprise his iconic titular role. Following the massive success of Netflix’s Wednesday series, Jenna Ortega has officially found her next high-profile project with gothic filmmaker Tim Burton in the form of the upcoming Beetlejuice 2. The highest keyed note has traditionally been the F two and a half octaves above the low B ♭, but higher-quality instruments now have an extra key for a high F ♯, and a high G key can be found on some modern soprano saxophones. Modern baritone saxophones are commonly constructed to play a low A, and a small number of altos keyed to low A have also been manufactured. The lowest possible note, with all of the pads closed, is the (written) B ♭ below middle C. There is an octave key, which raises the pitch of the lower notes by one octave. The tone holes are closed by leather pads connected to keys-most are operated by the player's fingers, but some are operated using the palm or the side of a finger. The pitch of a saxophone is controlled by opening or closing the tone holes along the body of the instrument to change the length of the vibrating air column. In the table below, consecutive members of each family are pitched an octave apart.ĭescription Construction The E ♭ sopranino and B ♭ bass saxophone are typically used in larger saxophone choir settings, when available. The saxophones in widest use are the B ♭ soprano, E ♭ alto, B ♭ tenor, and E ♭ baritone. The modern saxophone family consists entirely of B ♭ and E ♭ instruments. C soprano and C melody saxophones were produced for the casual market as parlor instruments during the early twentieth century, and saxophones in F were introduced during the late 1920s but never gained acceptance. Low-pitch (also marked "L" or "LP") saxophones are equivalent in tuning to modern instruments. High-pitch (also marked "H" or "HP") saxophones tuned sharper than the (concert) A = 440 Hz standard were produced into the early twentieth century for sonic qualities suited for outdoor use, but are not playable to modern tuning and are considered obsolete. Instruments from the series pitched in C and F never gained a foothold and constituted only a small fraction of instruments made by Sax. The B ♭ and E ♭ instruments soon became dominant, and most saxophones encountered today are from this series. Sax invented two groups of seven instruments each-one group contained instruments in C and F, and the other group contained instruments in B ♭ and E ♭. The saxophone was invented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in the early 1840s and was patented on 28 June 1846. ![]() The saxophone is also used as a solo and melody instrument or as a member of a horn section in some styles of rock and roll and popular music. The saxophone is used in a wide range of musical styles including classical music (such as concert bands, chamber music, solo repertoire, and occasionally orchestras), military bands, marching bands, jazz (such as big bands and jazz combos), and contemporary music. Saxophone players are called saxophonists. Saxophones are made in various sizes and are almost always treated as transposing instruments. The holes are closed by leather pads attached to keys operated by the player. ![]() The pitch is controlled by opening and closing holes in the body to change the effective length of the tube. As with all single-reed instruments, sound is produced when a reed on a mouthpiece vibrates to produce a sound wave inside the instrument's body. The saxophone (often referred to colloquially as the sax) is a type of single-reed woodwind instrument with a conical body, usually made of brass. ![]() The oversexualization of Juliet in the game Lollipop Chainsaw really emphasizes this issue of representation of women in video games. Females are underrepresented in games and even less so represented as main characters. The overall male to female ratio in games, out of 150 sampled, was 85% to 15% compared to the census, which was 51% to 49%, and this did not include the number of playable male characters to playable female characters. “The virtual census: representations of gender, race and age in video games” found that the ratio of male and female characters were greatly disproportionate as compared to the actual ratio of males and females as stated in the 2000 US census. It is also worth noting the disproportioned ratio of males to females in games. ![]() Zelda, they often fail to save themselves from their captors. ![]() Though some of these females may help the hero out, i.e. For example games like the Super Mario series, the Legend of Zelda series, the Double Dragon series, Time Crisis series, and Dragons Lair all have helpless females that are powerless in saving themselves. Other characters may wear more but are still objects because they are powerless. This emphasizes the body of the character as opposed to their role in the game. For example, Cortana from the ever popular Halo series, characters from the Dead or Alive series, Bayonetta, Soul Caliber, and Morrigan from Darkstalkers all wear practically nothing just enough to not show nudity. There are too many examples of female characters wearing clothing that “does not contain their bodies”. These women are helpless and are not given the ability to help themselves, but to add further insult to injury many of these women, “often tightly fitting or otherwise revealing clothing that fails to contain her impossibly proportioned body” (Dickerson, Christensen, and Kerl-McClain 22). As Dickerman and Sarkeesian suggest females in video games usually are just put in the role of “damsel in distress” as an object that needs to be recovered by the hero. This objectification carries onto video games. Mulvey suggests that classical cinema is filled with female characters which are there just to be looked at creating a fetishistic scopophilia, or the pleasure in looking specifically at the body or parts of the body. The dialogue and portrayal of characters in Lollipop Chainsaw blatantly overemphasize the over sexualized nature of female video game characters and further points out the problem of objectification of females in video games through role reversal. Though we have advanced somewhat in the issue, it has not gone away. However, the continued presence of sexism in the video game industry is disturbing. It is not a surprise that this trend carried over from film to video games. The objectification of female characters is not a new concept. Sort of jumpers and Jeeves so unless it’s a wedding, and I haven’t been to many of those recently.” They make it as easy for you as possible.” Heaven said the costumes were their favorite part of the role. “We were able to actually be in the world,” Neil said, adding it was easy “to geek out in that world and stand there as a human on set in this incredible place.”įrost added how there were, “loads of horses there and tons of extras. So to then add in giving certain people powers that’s a fascinating thing.”Īll three actors made it clear the period drama allowed for a unique experience on set in part because HBO’s high production values allowed for zero green screen and incredible costumes. “It’s a time industrial Britain is going through a great change,” Frost said, “I think there’s a geographical change happening, there’s a socio-political change happening and also these people individually are changing so I think within that kind of maelstrom, change is coming.” Heaven added, “The Victorian era is the time where everything is divided by gender and class, that’s when that begins. ![]() It’s a blending Frost said makes a lot of sense. Neil compared the blending to umami as it’s an unexpected flavor but one that you can’t quite describe. The show blends two popular flavors in recent TV programming: Period drama and superheroes.
