![]() ![]() That’s something we’ll touch back on in the cons section. The product basically plugs in and plays. All save functions work as they should as well, so that’s nothing you should have to worry about. This means you can pull up the alternate menu in game and be able to do any tweaks that you want to. There is one additional feature built in, I’m sure not by this company’s design, but it’s there nevertheless. Sorry European market! On a side note though, I like that they included a sequel to Jumpin’ Flash on the Meth pack. Now if you buy this for a PAL system that you won’t be seeing any PAL games on it. They didn’t want to waste any space on these and wanted to maximize value.įor those wondering, this comes with the NTSC versions to get full 60FPS. But since the first one is sort of missing frames, they didn’t include it. For example, we have Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4. It seems as though if a game has any dropped frames, they just didn’t include it. The games that come on the USB drive work out of the box. We talk about the hub more in the cons though and a workaround for it. This is nothing I care about, but I’m just one man. A USB hub is great if you still want to be able to play any two player games. So first off, as you’ll have seen in the unboxing video or the pictures, it does come with a hub.

The only legal way to play backups is to own the physical copies already.

Anthony Rizzo (l.) celebrates with Gleyber Torres (r.) after Torres’ home run.This review might be considered controversial. ![]() The Yankees got the right-hander for a pair on Thursday, with Aaron Judge picking up where he left off last season by hitting one out to center in the bottom of the first.īoone was also impressed by the walk Torres worked to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Webb had the fourth-lowest home run percentage in the majors last season - allowing just 11 in 192 ¹/₃ innings. “And who he did it off is as tough a customer as there is at getting the ball in the air against.” Gleyber Torres celebrates his two-run home run in the Yankees’ Opening Day win. “He’s capable of hitting the ball with authority over there ,’’ Boone said. “He looked really good,’’ Aaron Boone said, noting Torres’ “easy swing” on the home run. Torres, whose name has been involved in trade rumors since at least last year’s trade deadline, showed why the Yankees have held onto him. Gleyber Torres hits a two-run home run in the fourth inning of the Yankees’ Opening Day win on Thursday. It was a similar pitch to the one on which Logan Webb got Torres to ground to shortstop earlier in the game, and Webb credited Torres with making the adjustment by the next at-bat. Torres, in the lineup as the DH, helped his cause to make sure he’s in the lineup on a regular basis by hitting an opposite-field homer in the fourth inning of Thursday’s 5-0 Opening Day win over San Francisco. He added his preference was simply to “be in the lineup every day.” Let’s see how we figure out all season long the best position for me to play.” But I’m here to do my job at any position at any time and I’m gonna play and try my best. Gleyber Torres entered the season with uncertainty regarding his role on the Yankees, thanks - in part - to the presence of DJ LeMahieu and Josh Donaldson.Īsked if he had any expectations about how often or what position he expects to play, Torres said, “No, not really.

You could aim at the apparent red-hued TNT barrel for a loud explosion or blast away at a box of ammunition, sending a barrage of bullets in every direction. Combat requires a level of precision best suited for mouse and keyboard, but if your only option is to play Weird West with a controller, I’d recommend using the game’s Tactical Mode, which slows time down to let you better plan out your movements. At the same time, the Protector is capable of summoning spirit bears or tornadoes that can be imbued with elemental properties. The Pigman can deflect bullets with his rubbery skin, soak the surrounding ground in poison, or charge enemies headfirst to deal devastating damage. This unlockable rifle ability silences your next shot and doubles damage to unaware enemies.Įach of the five protagonists wields unique spells in addition to perks like increased health or movement speed they share with the other characters. Blast foes into bits with the shotgun’s screen-shaking burst, fan the revolver’s hammer to unleash a rain of bullets, or quietly eliminate opponents with Sentry Silencer. You can solve most problems via stealth as long as you stay out of sight and adequately hide bodies, though there’s a bevy of guns, bows, and melee weapons enticing you to engage in the game’s raucous twin-stick-style shoot-outs. While the mythology of Weird West is enchanting, its sandbox gameplay brings the world to life. It’s so fun seeing how each chapter spirals into another with every new revelation. After a slow start, Weird West quickly ups the ante in thrilling and absurd ways, and just when you’ve figured things out, something unexpectedly changes. In another, you’ll contemplate turning in a sheriff after discovering they’ve converted the jail into a meat market and are feeding on imprisoned criminals’ corpses. You’ll help a poet lift a curse in one moment, causing him to only speak in rhymes. What starts as a safe, conventional cowboy revenge story unravels into a tale of unbelievable outcomes. The story begins by following a rancher who’s given up her old life as a bounty hunter but must dig up her irons to rescue her kidnapped family member. You play as the Passenger, a faceless entity who possesses a new protagonist in every chapter for mysterious reasons. The game’s main narrative is a five-chapter anthology following the lives of five “heroes” – a bounty hunter, a man-turned-pig, a tribal protector, a werewolf, and a zealot – whose journeys are unknowingly connected. ![]() Its macabre frontier isn’t just a land of cowboys and cattle but one brimming with old magic and hideous monstrosities like werewolves, flesh-eating sirens, gold-hungry zombies, and bewitched trees capable of trapping the souls of men. ![]() ![]() From the minds behind Dishonored and Prey, this compelling immersive sim is unlike any western tale you’ve experienced.

The Gun are made up of thieves and murderers, and keep hold of the people by fear and violence, but they are losing the war against the Line. The Line is industrial, with technological weapons and trains that speed by so quickly the countryside is barely seen, and take over towns and make their citizens slaves at their whim. The novel pits two rival factions against one another as they each hunt for a way to end the everlasting war between them. It tells the story of Liv Alverhuysen, a female psychologist who sets off on an adventure to heal the mad and John Creedmoor, an Agent of the Gun who is goaded into obedience to his master's orders, despite his growing disdain for them. It is set in an alternate version of the American Wild West where the far west reaches of the world are untamed and still being created.

They didn't teach us - it's not "We had no one that taught us," right. And when we do have prison reformation - because it's "habilitation," not rehabilitation, because they didn't have the abilities in the first place. But even with that, I knew it was more important for me to take the chance of walking away from that deal than to have no fathers in Chicago with no homes. I mean, this Adidas thing made me a billionaire, and I could have lost $200 million walking away from that deal. So I had the balls, because I have enough balls to put on this hat. The core of Adidas and Chicago is the core of middle America, and we have to make middle America strong." It's called the "Yeezy effect." And I went to Casper, we had a meeting in Chicago, and I said, "You have to bring manufacturing onshore. Because at Adidas, when I went in in 2015, we were a $14 billion company losing $2 billion a year. Right now, you gave me the heart to go to Adidas. You made us Superman, that's my favorite superhero, and you made a Superman cape for me.Īlso, as a guy that looks up to you, looks up to Ralph Lauren, looks up to American industry guys, non-political, no bull- put the beep on it, however you want to do it, five-seconds delay - and just goes in and gets it done. It was something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman. But the campaign "I'm With Her" just didn't make me feel as a guy that didn't get to see my dad all the time, like a guy that could play catch with his son. But there's times where, you know, it's something about, you know - I love Hillary, I love everyone, right. And also I'm married to a family that, you know, not a lot of male energy going on. You know, my dad and my mom separated, so I didn't have a lot of male energy in my home. But this hat, it gives me power in a way. You know, they tried to scare me to not wear this hat, my own friends. So I think it's the bravery that helps you beat this game called life. I just talked to the superintendent, met with Michael Sacks, that's Ron's right-hand man. And now you have Chiraq, what people call Chiraq, which is actually - our murder rate is going down by 20% every year. And they say, "We'll give you more money for having more kids in your home." And then we got rid of the mental-health institutes in the '80s and the '90s, and the prison rates just shot up. I've had conversations that basically said that welfare is the reason why a lot of black people end up being Democrat, they say - you know, first of all, it's a limit to amount of jobs. You know, people expect that if you're black, you have to be Democrat. And it's not just about, you know, getting on stage and being an entertainer and having a monolithic voice that's forced to be a specific party. And I have to go and get him free because he was doing positive inside of Chicago, just like how I'm moving back to Chicago. Because in an alternate universe, I am him. So there's theories that there's infinite amounts of universe, and there's alternate universe, so it's very important for me to get Hoover out. He started showing that he actually had power, that he wasn't just one of a monolithic voice but he could wrap people around. Really the reason why they imprisoned is because he started doing positive for the community. He has six life sentences, and they have him next to the Unabomber doing 23 and one.

Past topics include “interfaith and interreligious understanding” presented by Interfaith America and “the building of civil rights and racial justice in Atlanta” presented by Taos Wynn (06Ox, 09C), Pace said. The overarching theme of the Chaplain’s Lecture Series has always been “religion, faith, spirituality and meaning making,” Pace added. “I’ve been here for 14 years, and it’s been happening ever since I’ve been here,” Pace said, though he wasn’t sure the exact year the series began. The Chaplain’s Lecture Series is an annual event sponsored by the Pierce Program in Religion, and the Oxford’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life (ORSL) decides the speaker each year.

On her list of things not to say to someone with terminal cancer, including "How are the treatments going and how are you really?" It was a scan and it looked brutal, but I spent that week thinking like, "This is my last year for sure." And it was weird because the next day, I turned to a friend and I said, "Would you like to go visit the world's largest Ukrainian sausage?" And he was like, "Oh, I'm in." The other thing I do is I try really stupid stuff, like I got terrible news a couple months ago, which thankfully turned out to be a medical error. I try to make other people's day a little gentler. So I do make rules for the day, like don't talk about sad things after 9 p.m., so I try to make my day a little gentler. Well I have rules for when things are too sad, 'cause sometimes, just the reality of things really feels like an avalanche, and it's just going to sweep everything away.

It can help to go in with a little guidance, especially if you’re finding the opening hours particularly challenging. Like most rouguelites too, Returnal’s fun is found in developing skills through failure, with each run teaching you something new. ![]() With its rougelite structure, traditional third-person action, and creepy atmosphere, it’s easy to think of comparisons and mashups of existing titles like Hades, Control, and Metroid. Returnal, a PS5-exclusive arcade shooter from the genre’s experts at Housemarque, might seem like a familiar game initially. Please, share your experiences with us in the comments below. We assume that they can appear in random rooms, but they might only be accessible after you beat each boss. Now, in full fairness, we don’t really know where the datacube processors appear after that, because we haven’t been able to get much further. You might need several attempts to put it off, considering how difficult the game is. This is, of course, way easier said than done, but you have to do it. So, you’ll have to keep hold of a cube all the way throughout the whole first biome, beat the boss, and only then will you be able to get whatever item might be inside it. The first datacube processor in Returnal that we’ve come across is after defeating the first boss. While we’re on the subject, keep in mind that you can only carry one datacube at a time, and you’ll lose it if you die. It won’t necessarily be in the same place, but it will be somewhere in the biome. In the first biome, though, you’ll always come across one room that has a fake wall, behind which you’ll find a datacube. ![]() It’s basically one of the ways that you make your character more powerful over time, allowing you to push further.Īs for where you can find datacube locations, since Returnal is a roguelike game, everything is randomized and the whole layout changes after you die. Once you open a datacube at the processor, you will automatically get a copy of the item, and you’ll be able to find it elsewhere in the world from then on. You can get eighteen different items from these cubes. Each datacube has a blueprint inside it, be it for a weapon, and artifact, or a consumable. What you do with Returnal datacubes is decode them in a datacube processor in order to unlock whatever is in them. Returnal Datacube Location – Where is the Datacube Processor We’ll show you all you need to know in our Returnal Datacube Location – Where is the Datacube Processor guide. You’ll want to know what to do with datacubes, and where to find the processor. It’s a fairly major way of progression, so you should figure out how it works asap. Everything you unlock whatever is in the datacube then becomes available to find in the open world in subsequent runs. Datacubes in Returnal are special items that you use to unlock weapons, consumables and artifacts from, after you use the datacube processor. ![]() ![]() Opening hours: Sun - Thu: 10am - 10pm Fri: 11am - 11pm Sat: 10am - 11pm Sun: 10am - 10pmĪ post shared by Splash in the Boro within Mill Creek Regional Park along Georgia State Highway 24, Splash In the Boro Waterpark is a fun getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We don’t think that you’ll go back to Road Maintenance Simulator a few more times after you’ve completed all of the missions, but it does offer a detailed look at what goes into maintaining our roads – or those of Germany, if you will. Road Maintenance Simulator is certainly a curiosity in the PlayStation library, but comes with a PlayStation 5 version and Unreal-powered visuals that look suitably realistic – the environments and vehicles all look good, and the only area that’s a bit lacking are the character animations, which look wooden and low in detail. But aside from all those big vehicles, you also get to handle smaller tools – which even includes a trash picker, as keeping the roads clean is also part of your job (and missions!). Early on, this can be as simple as making sure a few trees get trimmed as their branches hang across the road, but later missions require multiple vehicles that you have to drive and work with.įor novices like us, there are a surprising number of different vehicles involved here, from trucks that place traffic signs to vehicles that spread out the new asphalt to rollers that flatten and compress the surface for you afterwards. Missions are layered into steps and phases, so it’s easy enough to keep track of what you’re supposed to be doing. The game’s main modes takes you through the paces of Road Maintenance work on 30 different missions, which take place on the included open world map. ![]() Your frame of reference may differ from what you see in the game though, as Caipirinha Games has based their gameplay (and visual) design on the German situation. Like many of you, we didn’t have lifelong dream to work in the road maintenance industry, but the prospect of seeing their perspective was intriguing nonetheless – having seen the end or midway result in action so many times. ![]() And although we see plenty of oddball simulators on the PC, we were even more surprised to see this one going multiplatform! Not a positive connotation, so we were surprised to see a game developer tackle this very niche line of work in a simulator. When you think ‘road maintenance’, you’re probably thinking of delays on your way to work, or even on your way to a vacation destination. Coming out for PlayStation, Xbox and PC, it offers a rather unique sim-like experience – here’s our take on the PlayStation 4 version. Road Maintenance Simulator from Aerosoft and developer Caipirinha Games is certainly one of the most surprising multi-platform launches we’ve seen in recent months. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What Does “Departed USPS Regional Facility” Mean?
