Donkey kong country returns wii unboxing1/13/2024 There's no question about it: it's a brutal experience and one of the most difficult platformers you'll face. Where Kirby is a very accessible platformer for all ages, Donkey Kong Country Returns is for the truly hardcore gamer that's looking for something that'll really push their skills. The classic run and jump, barrel-blasting gameplay is enhanced with the traditional mine cart runs, but Retro added its own take with Rocket Barrel runs where you'll have to navigate through hazards simply by boosting up or falling down.ĭonkey Kong Country Returns is the polar opposite of Kirby's Epic Yarn. Levels start getting more creative that expand on the basics laid out in the beginning, so while it feels very boilerplate in the first couple of worlds, by World 6 I couldn't wait to see what lay around the next corner. It improves in leaps and bounds with every completed challenge. There are obvious exceptions to the rule, but for the most part Retro Studios stuck very close to the blueprint laid out by Rare in the Super Nintendo original - so much of the levels stayed within the restriction of the classic designs.īut I have to say, the deeper traveled in this jungle, the better the game gets. I'll fully admit that as much fun as I was having with Donkey Kong Country Returns, I was just a smidge underwhelmed in my first hour. But that'd be a spoiler if I said anything more… And at least Donkey Kong Country Returns makes it perfectly clear why a giant banana horde has been stolen. ![]() Rool and his evil gang from the Super NES original, it was in this area that Retro Studios made the game its own with a brand new set of baddies and end bosses. While Donkey Kong Country purists may cry foul with the omission of K. DK's banana horde has been swiped and his jungle buddies hypnotized by a new troupe of bad guys. Other than this change, Donkey Kong Country Returns is the tried and true Donkey Kong Country experience, completely refreshed and updated for the current generation of gamers. With the power of the Wii, the prerendered graphics style has been replaced with real-time visuals. ![]() And even with its more modest production values compared to Retro's last three products, Donkey Kong Country Returns comes out a better 2D platformer than Mario's own Wii revisit a year ago. Wii: old school values using new school techniques. Instead, it looks like the team applied the same design process Nintendo did with New Super Mario Bros. Retro Studios didn't set out to expand on the classic in the same way it did with the Metroid Prime series. ![]() In later years, Rare branched out and attempted a 3D platformer in Donkey Kong 64, and Nintendo's Tokyo team (the Mario Galaxy developers) tried its hand with the brilliantly creative Donkey Kong Jungle Beat on the GameCube, but Donkey Kong Country Returns is the big guy's first true starring role on the Wii console, bringing DK back to his original old-school platforming days on the Super NES.

Arm and hammer deodorant1/13/2024 ![]() Last week, “in an abundance of caution,” manufacturer Procter & Gamble voluntarily pulled 17 different types of Old Spice and Secret antiperspirant off the shelves, according to a press release.Ī number of other brands have not yet been recalled, including batches of Tag, Sure, Equate, Suave, Right Guard and Brut that had levels of benzene at or above 2 parts per million, said David Light, CEO and founder of Valisure, the independent lab that ran the tests and filed the petition.Īdditional batches of antiperspirants and deodorants, which Valisure said tested at levels up to 2 parts per million, include products made by Summer’s Eve, Right Guard, Power Stick, Soft & Dri and Victoria’s Secret. ![]() The agency has also set a “goal of 0 ppb for benzene in drinking water and in water such as rivers and lakes because benzene can cause leukemia.” The US Environmental Protection Agency has set a much lower limit – 5 parts per billion (ppb) – for exposure to benzene in drinking water. ![]()

Hunting simulator 2 switch cheats1/12/2024 Another missed opportunity was to allow the player to set up a small camp (tent and campfire) as a temporary checkpoint/fast travel spot – also adding some immersion to the gameplay. Once you buy a few licenses to be allowed to hunt the animals you bought licenses for, you can then pick the region where those animals can be found – comprised of 3 large open world maps, you can then not only focus on your core mission of capturing the animal you bought the license for, but also explore those areas and find places of interest – which also serve as fast travel points to better plan your route. Felt like massive missed potential right from the get-go. I expected to start with a small wood cabin like the one in the tutorial and gradually grow my house and customize what I could put into it besides just adding the trophies of the animals you hunted. ![]() While the lodge is really pretty and works as a hub for the player, it is also a disappointing feature as it already feels like a top-tier house you’d buy at the endgame stage when you had plenty of money. I'm usually really hard on so-so janky games but there's something about this one and I intend to explore it all.After a rather well done tutorial (that also showcases some of the game’s issues I’ll mention later on), you’re placed in a beautiful Lodge – which is yours! The tutorial needs to be about 4x more in-depth with this game because of the sky-high potential to sink some serious wasted time into a hunt just because there was an entire aspect of the game they felt no need to tell you about.Īll these VERY bad game design decisions aside, there is something hypnotic about the entire thing, it really does require that you slow down your brain and chill out, be patient, etc. So if you have the beagle out and you shoot a water bird, you will literally be penalized for leaving it there and there is nothing you can do about it. Also the game took zero effort to inform you that if you shoot a bird and it falls in the water, it can only be retrieved by a retriever dog and nothing else. ![]() Otherwise you're just wandering around at a snails pace in a seemingly empty ok-at-best-looking sandbox. You can get seriously screwed if you do the "wrong things" and can come home after a many-hour hunt with literally no money to show for you animals - the point being with an infinite CO elk license you can basically farm them to give yourself a chance to buy other things and see what else the game has to offer. I chose grizzly bear just bc it sounded cool but I very much should have taken a Colorado elk license - if you go to Pawnee Grasslands in the afternoon (interact with your bed in the lodge to change time - another thing they felt no need to even hint at) there are elk everywhere (and boar). ![]() I'm also thinking about restarting the entire save file since, in the very beginning you can choose one infinite license. How is it "realistic" that a hunter wouldn't have access to that info at all times? Many other aspects of the game miffed me pretty hard initially, like how I never seemed to be able to get the dumb dog to not lose the trail every time - turns out it's smarter to go slow-slow-slow and then when you get close (hear an animal call, for instance) you make your dog sit so that it doesn't spook the animal and then continue you slow stalk solo. I literally took photos of all the caliber requirements for each license in the store with my phone so that I could see it while out. Seems very stupid to me that you can't just quickly double check that while out in the field. I think it's a terrible design decision but you can only check which caliber is allowed for which license in the store (laptop in the lodge).

Resogun runs at 1080p1/12/2024 So all that considered, and the difficulty we had at the launch of the PS3, and very strong competition especially in North America, that made us really revisit everything we've been doing and redefine the company, almost like we're re-entering this industry. And the use of mobile devices is part of our ecosystem. In a sense, it's the completion of the evolution of the strong 3D capable consoles, but at the same time it's at the maturing phase of our network platform and the beginning of our new service phase, like our cloud gaming that we are preparing to launch next year. The PS4 generation is going to be the transitional generation. "We have come to conclude that this is the beginning of a new era of PlayStation, shifting more from a hardware focus to a service focus" When people use mobile devices, is that competition? Or are tools for us? We had to redefine our platform almost, and we have come to conclude that this is the beginning of a new era of PlayStation, shifting more from a hardware focus to a service focus. We had to think about the use of new devices and what that means for us. That forced us back to basics almost, and it required us to really think through everything that we do from the hardware specifications to services to the overall business plans. but back then people didn't really use smartphones and that all changed in three or four years and it was a huge change. The PS3 era for us was the beginning of the network platform being integrated at a system level. The pace of change was not that fast during PS2 and even PS3. So we kind of stopped with that approach as we became successful and larger and more confident. Because we were new, we tried to speak to the people in the industry, our partners and developers, and we tried to learn a lot. We had a small group of people trying to do almost everything. The launch of PS4 reminds me a lot of the launch of PlayStation 1 because we were a very small company at that time. I think this is the most organized launch we've had as a company. It's a lengthy conversation but well worth the read to absorb Yoshida's refreshingly forthright answers. In the full discussion below, you'll read Yoshida's thoughts on the launch scores (which he joked afterwards that he was hoping I wouldn't ask him about), how PlayStation is being redefined in the PS4 era, why Drive Club had to be delayed, why graphics and 1080p resolution absolutely matter, and he explains his skepticism for Xbox One's cloud computing tech. Even in the face of less than stellar reviews for the PS4 launch games, Yoshida remained enthusiastic, and in classic console wars fashion managed to get in a few shots at the competition. The affable Yoshida certainly didn't make it look that way, however. The long-time Sony executive has been with SCE since the company's inception, so perhaps another console launch feels old-hat. It's within this atmosphere that Sony cordially invited me (and full disclosure, paid for my accommodations) to interview Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida. It's a big deal for Sony and the industry, and judging by what feels like all of Sony Computer Entertainment taking up residence in this hotel, it's clear that the company is making a statement: we're bringing the industry into the next generation and we're hoping to recapture our mojo from the PS2 days. The launch of the PS4 is only hours away now. Every floor is dominated by PS4 games and demos and even the elevators are decked out in PlayStation imagery.

Simple standard calculator1/12/2024 ![]() One of the most important parts of regression is testing for significance. This is known as multiple regression, which can be solved using our Multiple Regression Calculator. However, we may want to include more than one independent vartiable to improve the predictive power of our regression. In a simple linear regression, there is only one independent variable (x). Confidence intervals will be narrower than prediction intervals. A prediction interval gives a range for the predicted value of y. The differennce between them is that a confidence interval gives a range for the expected value of y. In both cases, the intervals will be narrowest near the mean of x and get wider the further they move from the mean. t TestĬonfidence intervals and predictions intervals can be constructed around the estimated regression line. ![]() The only difference will be the test statistic and the probability distribution used. In simple linear regression, the F test amounts to the same hypothesis test as the t test. ![]() The test statistic is then used to conduct the hypothesis, using a t distribution with n-2 degrees of freedom. So, given the value of any two sum of squares, the third one can be easily found. The relationship between them is given by SST = SSR + SSE. Before we can find the r 2, we must find the values of the three sum of squares: Sum of Squares Total (SST), Sum of Squares Regression (SSR) and Sum of Squares Error (SSE). The coefficient of determination, denoted r 2, provides a measure of goodness of fit for the estimated regression equation. The graph of the estimated regression equation is known as the estimated regression line.Īfter the estimated regression equation, the second most important aspect of simple linear regression is the coefficient of determination. The formulas for the slope and intercept are derived from the least squares method: min Σ(y - ŷ) 2. There are two things we need to get the estimated regression equation: the slope (b 1) and the intercept (b 0). Furthermore, it can be used to predict the value of y for a given value of x. It provides a mathematical relationship between the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x). In simple linear regression, the starting point is the estimated regression equation: ŷ = b 0 + b 1x.

The riftbreaker genres1/12/2024 ![]() During the first few waves of attacks there is time to resource gather and explore. One player was jumping from rift to rift to manage their multiple bases and control incoming attacks.Īnd that looks to be the strategy to use in Survival mode thus far. Solar panels and wind turbines were abundant, and there were handfuls of energy and solid material storage units. Walls were six panels deep, and there were at least five to six turrets on each wall. I also watched a few streams in which players were running the game on Brutal (the highest difficulty level) and the bases that they had to create in order to achieve victory were impressive. In the end, I just need to work on my time and resource management. This reduced my time to fully explore the environment, conduct research, or upgrade. There were times when I would get attacked by a large horde, and then as I’m doing my repairs, a tornado would come in and destroy already vulnerable buildings. In my few playthroughs, I found it difficult to maintain base operations while constructing new buildings, researching, foraging and mining materials, and fighting off enemies. ![]() Meteor showers are a new environmental addition to The Riftbreaker. This power gives viewers an opportunity to affect the flow of the game (especially if they feel like trolling the player). This allows the viewers to vote on what will happen in the game such as giving steel or carbonium, taking steel or carbonium away, having it rain, or bringing on a tornado. RELATED: GGA Game Preview: THE RIFTBREAKER Has Great PotentialĪnother addition to the game is Twitch and Mixer integration. Once those hit, you end up having to use resources to repair and rebuild, and it takes time away from upgrades, resource gathering, and research. Meteor showers and tornadoes will damage or destroy your buildings. Storms affect your solar panels, making it impossible to harness power through those means. ![]() The only playable mode, Survival, gives you one hour to build up your base, upgrade buildings and weapons, and complete research, all while fending off hordes of enemies that attack your base every 6 to 7 minutes (or every 4 to 5 depending on what you’re doing).Īdditionally, the weather changes will adversely affect your progress. While I might not be the best base-builder, as my StarCraft 2 skills will show you, The Riftbreaker, in its current build, presents a challenge to even skilled players. These additions add a new layer of difficulty to an already difficult game. Additional improvements to current featuresīase-building is fun when you aren’t be attacked by enemies.New structures, new power plants, and upgradable towers and walls.Added weapons: Plasma Gun, High Powered Laser.Weathers system that includes meteor showers, storms, and tornadoes.Additional environmental surfaces: mud, sand, poison bogs, metal flooring.New item, Treasure Detector, which allows you to find buried resources.Streaming integration options for Twitch and Mixer.The Alpha 2 Update brings a laundry list of new updates and additional game mechanics and enemies. Let me just say, it’s going in a great direction, but gameplay can be frustrating at times. It’s currently in its Alpha build and developer EXOR Studios just released the Alpha 2 update for PC version the game. If you’re in the market for a challenging sci-fi base-building survival/RPG game, then The Riftbreaker should be a game on your watchlist.
