All that because it was detecting software that it thought was a threat to it I guess, as a defence, it messed with my drive. In that way, the game is a collaborative exercise engaged in by anyone who's ever loaded up a game of Spore.Originally posted by Ericrct: Delete that section from your post.Ī: Securom rendered my DVD-ROM useless, basically I couldn't install the game at all because the drive couldn't load the disc. Connecting to the internet means that your creations are shared with the rest of the world, and your game world will be populated by species created by other players. That's further underscored by the fact that players aren't living in a vacuum. In that respect, the game is often best experienced as a living sandbox rather than a game in its own right. You have a ton of different traits to choose from, and players are inspired to make the wildest creations possible. It's a fun enough series of systems to keep players moving forward, but the real heart of the game can be found in the character creator. Spore's diverse variety of gameplay systems are ambitious, but that broad net means that the moment to moment gameplay can be a little thin. Here, developing new buildings and vehicles is critical to conquering the entire world, but you have flexibility in whether you decide to overcome your obstacles through force or diplomacy. Resource management eventually develops to the point where you hit the civilization stage. At this point the look of your creatures are locked in, and you're put in charge of your entire species. The tribal transforms the game into a full on strategy management game. Players have some flexible options in whether they decide to be friendly or hostile to other creatures, and each generation gives the players an opportunity to change the evolutionary track of their creatures. This phase sees a combination of real time strategy and typical third person action as you guide your entire species to progress, killing other creatures for survival or territory. The simple arcade gameplay of the microscopic face develops into creature stage where your species ventures out onto land and is forced to survive on a brutal continent occupied by plenty of other threats. Spore is broken down into a variety of different phases that show your progress from a microscopic organism into an entire spacefaring species. Evolution here is freeform, allowing you to attach different parts to your microscopic organism, most of them bringing both distinct advantages and disadvantages.īut that's just the start of things. You start by creating a microscopic organism and guiding them through the simple process of eat or be eaten, but as you start to consume other creatures and acquire experience, you can evolve your species to become a more effective species. ![]() Created from the mind of mad scientist game developer Will Wright, Spore is essentially a god game that gives you more control over your creations than any game in its genre. Spore is an innovative evolution simulator game that's absolutely brimming with creativity but sometimes stumbles in its attempts to offer compelling gameplay.

![]() Rule 602 specifically exempts expert testimony from this requirement. Rule 602 of the Federal Rules of Evidence requires that a witness may only testify if evidence is sufficient to support a finding that the witness has personal knowledge of the matter. While experts may use their knowledge or skill to draw conclusions, lay witnesses can only base their opinions on information they personally observed. The major difference between these two types of witnesses is personal knowledge. (c) not based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope of Rule 702 Personal Knowledge is Required (b) helpful to clearly understanding the witness’s testimony or to determining a fact in issue and (a) rationally based on the witness’s perception In contrast, Rule 701 of the Federal Rules of Evidence states that if a witness is not testifying as an expert, testimony in the form of an opinion is limited to one that is: (d) the expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case (c) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods and (b) the testimony is based on sufficient facts or data (a) the expert’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue ![]() ![]() Under Rule 702, a witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if: Lay opinion testimony is largely defined by what it is not -expert testimony. How Do Lay Opinions Differ from Expert Opinions? In order to ensure that your expert testimony is utilized to its full potential, it is important to note the differences between the two types of witnesses so that both can offer admissible opinions. Now, both lay and expert opinions are admissible at trial, to varying degrees. Once Rule 701 of the Federal Rules of Evidence was enacted, the restrictions on lay opinions began to loosen. However, as the Supreme Court has noted, there is an “inevitably arbitrary line between the various shades of fact/opinion”. From now on comfortably cope with it from your home or at the workplace straight from your mobile or personal computer.The justification was that unless the information was too complex for a jury to understand without the help of an expert, a jury should be able to interpret evidence and draw its own conclusions. Lay Witness/Statement does not have to be complicated any longer.
It doesn't just rotate the room around you for lateral movement, it translates the room in every direction, accounting for every possible tilt or vertical movement of your head. Suddenly, you've gone from having speakers fixed to your head to having "living" speakers in a virtual 3D room.īy default, NX uses data from your webcam to track your head's location in full 3D. It locates your head in 3D space, tracks the little movements that you make, and keeps the virtual speakers fixed in place by translating them around the virtual space to match your head movements. Waves NX fixes this problem with head tracking. It makes you aware that the surround isn't "real." ![]() Even if you're not consciously aware of it, the fact that the speakers are fixed in place to your head cheapens the effect for the audio processing centers in your brain. This motion problem is the most difficult thing to get around in virtual surround, and it flattens/ruins the effect a little bit. If you turn all the way to the side, the sound keeps coming from the same fixed points on your head. The headphones mimic all the movements our head makes, since they're attached to our head. With traditional headphone listening, and traditional virtual surround algorithms, the channels stay locked in place to our ears. We shift slightly to hear an interesting detail, or to move our attention to a different part of the screen.Īnd our brains expect the sound we're hearing to react to this movement. We turn our heads slightly when we're listening to something, often with little movements that we don't really notice. It's a true 3D audio solution that combines accurate virtual speaker placements with full 3D head tracking to sell the illusion to your brain and keep the speakers located correctly in the space around you, even when you move. Waves NX started out as a software package for audio professionals that wanted to have a speaker-like mixing experience on a pair of studio headphones, and they've since adapted it into the consumer version I'm reviewing today. In the corner of the "dimension" tab was a small link to the Waves NX website. My new Dell G5 gaming laptop, a computer that I will eventually get around to reviewing, came with the Waves MaxxAudioPro software, essentially a collection of EQ tools. ![]() I had never heard about Waves NX before last week. Within a day of using the Waves NX software, I had decided to pay the 10 bucks to upgrade the 30 day free trial to the full version. ![]() UPDATE: I've discovered that having this software installed wreaks havoc on Windows 10's audio system, and makes Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos stop functioning. After Octolings are unlocked, the Player Settings screen has octopi swimming up with the squids in the background. Splatoon 3 Pack Inkling Girl - Orange, Inkling Squid - Green. Before being added, Inkling boys were green and Inkling girls were pink. Please see the online store section of our FAQ for product status definitions. With Callie/Marie and Pearl/Marina setting the precedent, it seems like a good bet. The green inkling from earlier had appeared right in front of them, and Tartars eyes widened a to a cartoonish degree. Playable Octolings are represented by pink ink in the Player Settings menu, while Inklings use green ink. It’s also very likely that we’ll get more amiibo for Splatoon 3 at some point, including the new “core” trio of Shiver, Frye, and Big Man. But other than getting new outfits and “posing with your amiibo” for pictures, there isn’t a whole lot in terms of what each amiibo figure will actually provide, gameplay-wise. Through the presentation, we know that there will once again be an amiibo case to visit to do amiibo-related things. Based on the US Nintendo Direct presentation, individual packs seem to be the default in that region. A green Inkling boy with the Slick hairstyle wearing the Squidfin Hook Cans, Black V-Neck Tee, and Yellow-Mesh Sneakers, introduced in Splatoon 2. A pink Inkling girl with the Haircut hairstyle wearing the King Flip Mesh, White King Tank, and Mint Dakroniks, introduced in Splatoon 2. Interestingly, amiibo news points out that different regions could be getting individual or 3-pack SKUs. A green Inkling squid, introduced in Splatoon. They join the current list of Splatoon amiibo, which is formidable at this point:Īccording to Nintendo, the new trio is coming “this holiday,” but no further details were provided. ![]() Splatoon 3 amiibo? Sure! We have three more figures on the way thanks to a confirmation from the recent Nintendo Direct presentation. Octoling (Blue), Inkling (Yellow), and Smallfry ![]() ![]() Which left me servicable, but it also meant that I ended up missing out on a lot of the new tank role skills.īecause I had to take Rampart, Convalescence, and Awareness – two of which were originally on my hotbar anyway as skills pulled from Gladiator back in the day where skills were cross-class and not from a role pool – they were now there to make up for the loss of two Marauder skills I should have picked up early on in the game progression. After wiping because the healers just could not keep up with my damage intake, I dropped my DOT proc and picked up another damage down. Being level-sunk down to 50 meant that I lost my Warrior damage-down ability, and just had one health-regen from my native WAR skills as well as a vulnerability down proc that takes a solid two minutes to pop back up. I ended up in Urth's Font, the Odin primal battle from A Realm Reborn. Which left me running old dungeons and trials. The default location is not ideal.Īnd then I got stuck in instance hell thanks to a series of DDoS attacks that plagued the game during early access. And most of the time it is pretty darn helpful, though I do recommend minimizing it a bit and shifting it over out of the way. Each job also got a new UI element which was designed to increase the effectiveness of that specific class. Skills were changed around, some were lost, some moved to completely different jobs, and we got role-specific skill pools to chose from. One of the first things that changed with Patch 4.0 Stormblood, whether you bought the expansion or not, was a complete overhaul of the combat system. I can hit you with spoiler thoughts later-on down the line when people actually have a chance to get through the game. I'll try and keep this review spoiler-free. But I'm not here as a FFXIV fangirl, so let's break down the massive update by sections before giving it a final evaluation. The long time FFXIV player in me wants to give Stormblood a 10/10 so badly. Let's not pretend for a second that we thought I'd give this game a score below a 7. ![]() “For guys like me that have always been into independent record stores and vinyl, you know, it’s kind of nice to see it,” says Castillo. With the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently declaring that vinyl sales have jumped 61 per-cent last year to $1 billion, the most since 1986 (CD sales jumped 21 per-cent to $584 million, the first year-over-year increase since 2004), Castillo is glad that Record Store Day is around to salute all the mom-and-pop businesses- like Cactus Music- that are still selling wax. (Strolling Bones is also planning to re-release Castillo’s first two, self-released albums in the future.) And, just in time for Record Store Day, clear-blue vinyl copies of “Rodriguez” will be for sale. ![]() His first collection of new music in 13 years, “Rodriguez” is the first Castillo album to be released on a label - Strolling Bones Records.

But there will be free coffee served outside for all the early birds. Unfortunately, the store isn’t ready to serve free beer (usually provided by Saint Arnold Brewing Company) during this time around. While Cactus has been doing meet-and-greets here and there (the store recently had local, rising pop star Keshi sign autographs and take pictures), consider this upcoming performance a test run. Over the years, local, national and international artists have graced the store’s small stage, a platform where such artists as CHVRCHES, The Lumineers and Janelle Monae have done memorable mini-performances. While Cactus has continued its rep as a major locale for vinyl junkies during these COVID-crazy times, the store put a pause on its live shows during the pandemic. “It seems like, at least, here we’re getting into that safety zone where we might be able to effectively and safely do this,” says Cactus owner Quinn Bishop. This performance will mark the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that the store will have live music performed on its indoor stage. One store that will definitely be celebrating in grand fashion is Cactus Music, which will also have an in-store performance from singer-songwriter Tody Castillo. Many stores around Houston will be involved in selling special releases and giving away items reserved for this day and they include Soundwaves, Sig’s Lagoon, Vinal Edge, Sound Exchange, Serious Sounds, Black Dog Records among others. What started 15 years ago as a bunch of store owners coming up with the audio equivalent to Free Comic Book Day has become a global day of celebration for music obsessives and the independent record stores they frequent. ![]() Es la primera vez que pides el visado Working Holiday para Nueva Zelanda.
