![]() ![]() It is important, seminal stuff.Īnd now, it is on iPad. It changed what we thought RPGs could do, and practically helped invent the concept of the Western RPG vs the Eastern RPG. It was faithful to a fault, and there was nothing else like it. You needed a combination of luck, stalwart companions, and a healthy dose of quicksave combined with reloading to survive. Wandering into the woods was a potentially fatal proposition. You were lucky to survive introductory encounters in Baldur’s Gate, especially if you decided to be a mage. Your life expectancy was about half a session in those days at first level. Relentlessly adhering to the AD&D 2nd Edition rules, Baldur’s Gate would start you off as a 1st level chump, just like when you played with your friends.

After just a few hours I’m sailing along on my adventure, much further along than I’ve been in past iterations of the game without putting in more hours. The truly fascinating part of Beamdog’s implementation is that it actually makes the game much faster to play. A scene from the bazaar in Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition. There’s even a handy radial menu mapped to the right trigger that allows you to access things like your spellbook, or the option to take a quick rest. The shoulder buttons allow you to scroll between members of your party quickly, while clicking both shoulder buttons at the same time automatically selects the entire party. Pulling way out is a good way to see how the game’s fog of war system impacts play. While you can flip between the two control schemes with the left and right buttons on the D-pad, zoom is mapped to the up and down buttons. The game’s tutorial, unfortunately, explains virtually none of this, and there are a number of other thoughtful additions I found just by messing around and exploring. Move to a stairwell, and you’ll have the option to move on to the next floor of the dungeon without the repetitive, annoying reminder to “gather your party.” It’s a much more elegant way to play the game, rivaling, and in some ways exceeding, the original experience on PCs. Move the party close to a locked chest, and you’ll get the icon for lock picking. So Beamdog has turned each point of interaction into a hotspot that automatically shows you a contextual icon. However, you lose the ability to point and click at objects on the map once you lock the control stick to movement. It’s a game changer, and makes general movement and combat much more manageable on the console. Now you can walk a single character around - or the entire party, in formation - like you’re playing a modern third-person RPG. But the second control scheme maps movement directly to the left thumbstick. By default, players move a big, clumsy cursor around the screen, which works OK. What Beamdog has done is build two completely different control schemes for these games. Those actions are much more tedious with a controller, however. That’s easy enough using mouse clicks just touch a spot on the ground and selected characters will move to that point. Like more modern titles such as Dragon Age, players’ need to control every single member of the party both in combat, and out. Traditionally, it’s been played with a mouse and keyboard, but there was also a port for tablets that has been mostly written off for its abysmal touch interface. Players design a single character, and then build out a party of up to six adventurers while tackling the foulest demons ever to assault Faerûn’s Sword Coast. Baldur’s Gate is a classic, party-based RPG built on the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. ![]()

In the manga, this outfit is more ragged-looking. In the OVA adaptation of Kenshin's past, he wears a navy blue kimono with a light gray hakama and brown hand guards, as well as the same two sheathed weapons at the side of his obi. In the anime's flashback scenes of the Bakumatsu, Kenshin wears a light blue kimono with a dark blue jacket and a brown hakama, as well as his sheathed katana and wakizashi at the side of his obi. His sakabatō is worn tucked under his obi at his left hip in a black, steel saya. In colored illustrations of the manga, his kimono alternates between red, purple and blue. In the anime series, Kenshin's kimono is almost always a soft red-like burgundy, but also often appears to be pink or light purple (most likely to contrast better with his red hair). ![]() Kenshin dresses simply, wearing a plain men's kimono of cheap, worn cloth with a white umanori hakama, zori and white tabi. In a redesign for the kanzenban, Kenshin's scar has been altered so that the lateral scar is longer, stretching across his nose to just below the inner corner of his right eye. According to his allies during his days in the Ishin Shishi, this scar was said to have constantly bled and never healed as the mark of a curse for having slain an innocent person. Kenshin's cross-shaped scar actually consists of two separate scars-a long one running diagonally down his face from just below the outer corner of his left eye to just above his chin and a slightly shorter scar running diagonally across it in the other direction from just to the left of the bridge of his nose to his left jawbone. In the anime, when Kenshin's eyes change to reflect his psychological reversion to Hitokiri Battōsai, their color shifts from violet to gold. Kenshin's eyes, too, are unusual, being a deep violet. At the end of the manga, he has cut off the ponytail entirely (presumably to prevent his son from pulling on it) and wears his hair evenly at about chin length. During the Bakumatsu, Kenshin wore his ponytail at the top-back of his head. Kenshin's hair is thick and abundant, with all of the shorter frontal hairs falling across his face as bangs rather than being in the ponytail at the nape of his neck. Because of this, Kenshin cuts quite a different figure than would be expected of the legendary Hitokiri Battōsai, but he is easily recognized by his infamous distinguishing features: mid-back length red hair tied in a thick ponytail and a cross-shaped sword scar on his left cheek. Despite being twenty-eight-years old, he is deceptively younger looking, appearing to be in his mid-teen years. Kenshin is a fair-skinned man of below-average height, slim built, with an androgynous face. ![]() ![]() Some people need a little extra help with that. Portion control is important, as well as eating the right foods. SO, no "just eat healthy" doesn't work for everyone. I didn't watch what I was eating, and I did not exercise. ![]() I gained 60 lbs with my first pregnancy and 70 with my 2nd. My husband and I were trying for a baby and I got pregnant - now I am terrified of losing all that I have "gained" from my fitness journey. I run, I lift, I eat healthy and I lost 25 pounds to get to where I wanted to be. I started a healthy lifestyle about a year ago. Thanks for your input - and while I will once again say that I am NOT trying to lose weight I am just trying to find something to hold myself accountable - while some people don't have an issue with eating, and only gain 30 pounds during pregnancy, that was never the case for me. Yes, she is actually one of the moms I follow in instagram. If no one is telling you it's a good idea then what does that say? Of my 30 lbs weight gain 10lbs of it was water (or so my OB estimated).Īnywho- I feel like you are fishing. I still gained weight because that is the natural order for a pregnant woman. I mean, don't go nuts eating & make healthy choices- but during my pregnancies I must have eaten pounds if cauliflower, and a ton (it seemed) of chicken thighs. I, personally think this portion control thing is a horrible idea. It's ok for is to disagree with you as long as we are doing it within TOU & respectfully. Try to hulk-smash your wants on here you'll find plenty of women that did it. ![]() I'm not sure why you are getting your twinkies in a twist about it. You seem bent on doing this thing- obviously no one else here (pregnant or not) thinks is that great of an idea. We are simply strongly disagreeing with you. No one is bashing you (saying you are an irresponsible person or anything like that). You aren't supposed to lose weight during pg unless specified by your doctor for medical reasons.

NCS and NFS are not particularly user-friendly and require fairly intimate knowledge of BMW systems to use. For example INPA communicates with EDIABAS to perform diagnostics, NCS to perform coding and NFS to perform programming functions. The bottom line with INPA is if you do not understand what a particular function does, you are probably better off leaving that function alone, but having said that, the level of diagnostic functionality is truly exceptional.ĮDIABAS can accomplish virtually any programming/diagnostic or coding function, but since it is only a computer protocol, requires seperate programs to interface between the user and EDIABAS so that it can receive and trasmit instructions. INPA is a powerful and comprehensive diagnostic tool but there is no simple handbook available that I know of which will comprehensively explain its operation or functions. ![]() INPA is a diagnostic interpreter program that communicates with your car using BMW’s own factory developed Electronic Diagnosis and Information protocol (EDIABAS). ![]() ![]() ![]() They are the best type of cars for Marked Man and Road Rage events. Aggression vehicles can use their boost at any time. The only difference is that the maximum length has been decreased from x4 to x3. The boost system of Aggression cars is the same as the boost systems found on cars from Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge. However, if a player's car crashes, the bar will deplete. The section of the boost bar will extend up to 4 times longer when the player takes down a rival. This boost type is commonly used in previous Burnout games. ![]() Compared to stunt boost vehicles, aggression boost ones are slower, more formidable but less maneuverable, it could even be said that they are exact opposites of each other, while one has decent overall capabilities (stunt boost), aggression boost vehicles sacrifices one or more stats to achieve a better strength (decreased speed, higher resistance), and they generally maintain a profile of bigger engines to move a bigger vehicle mass than others, while speed boost vehicles for instance can have as many similarities with other vehicle types, but those cars are generally equipped with turbocharger and can have smaller vehicle size and very variable boost durations. Aggression boost vehicles are usually much heavier and slower than vehicles fitted with the other boost types. ![]() Vehicles equipped with Aggression Boost are typically larger, stronger and heavier cars which have been designed or adapted to take and inflict more damage when dealing with rivals.

He has since lived in France and currently resides in Italy. Jame’s Park, London by David Napp About David Nappĭavid Napp, born in Kent, England, studied at Canterbury College of Art. The pink laid in the sky will provide considerable color action when blue is placed over it. The darks are massed in with a deep blue. The outline is drawn carefully in pencil. Napp begins by using a grid to transfer the image from a sketch to a piece of toned pastel paper. Here’s how he achieves brilliant color in pastel. “Otherwise, it will drive my poor framer crazy.” If you’re intrigued by Napp’s approach to color in pastel, read on for a quick step-by-step demonstration! 4 Steps to Colorful PastelsĪ strong underlayer of pastels often skewed in color serves as the foundation for many of Napp’s paintings. “Since I never fix anything, I have to tap the work quite sharply on the back to ensure that any loose pastel falls away,” he says. “In the end,” he notes, “my most successful pieces are the ones that are done the fastest, when everything comes together in a rush, and there’s no reworking.” After he has completed a piece, Napp has one final ritual. Like many pastelists, Napp wrestles with the consequences of going back and reworking a pastel. ![]() “The hues are much more vibrant with these brands, but a lot of the colorwork already has been done by the harder pastel layers underneath.” “For the final layers, I use a soft pastel, usually Sennelier or Schmincke,” says Napp. He frequently skews the color in the early layers of pastel, putting down red oranges on areas that will eventually be green, or placing greens in areas that will be red. Darks are massed in, and basic color areas are established. Also, like oil, you have to work from thin layers underneath to heavier layers on top.” After he has established his composition in outline, Napp relies on a big set of Rembrandt pastels to start building active color layers without putting too much loose pastel on the surface. When it comes to building his pastel surface, Napp explains, “You have to build pastel-like oil paint, starting with the darks and building up to the lights. The very orderliness of the composition enables the freedom of attack that’s so enticing to the viewer. If he makes preparatory sketches, he may grid them to ensure the composition is transferred accurately. To aid the composition process, Napp will use a cardboard square or make his fingers into a box shape to frame his subject. And of course, it was difficult because the locals don’t really like having their photos taken.” And then there were light effects - shafts of sunlight breaking into shadows - that were transitory. ![]() “And every so often a truck comes down collecting rubbish, or a taxi will push its way through.” He continues, “There just wasn’t any room to work. “The bazaars, or souks, are designed with very narrow streets so that people are forced to look at the merchandise on the stalls,” explains Napp. Then on a trip to Marrakesh on 2010, he found it was too difficult to paint his subjects from life. Heading Down a New Pastel Pathįor the first 30 years of his career, Napp worked directly from life traveling with his easel and pastels in tow. Detail is stripped away, forms are massed and color is built to achieve a transformative vibrancy. His views and motifs are carefully chosen and simplified to a compelling clarity. Whether it’s London’s Waterloo Bridge at night or an Italian hill town covered in snow, Napp brings a sense of raw pleasure at being in a particular place at a particular moment.
