![]() It seems clear that some games are intended for adults, in the same way that some films and books are, particularly as the average age of the players of those games continues to rise. Though still ongoing, the game violence debate has started to wear thin. This begs the question of how far away we are from such smoke and mirror tactics with respect to video game ratings, if they haven’t already begun.Īdmit it: you want to hang out with these guys. For whatever reason, however, the MPAA didn’t object to that scene, so a modified version of it (less graphic than was presented to begin with) was left in. The inherent flaw in this logic, however, is the reliance on predicting what another person will find offensive, particularly with respect to the gray boundaries of sex and violence.Īs an example, Martin Scorcese has stated that the scene in Casino in which Joe Pesci’s character tortures and kills a man by putting his head in a vice was intended to be cut by the MPAA, allowing him more flexibility in the rest of the film. The idea is that if you take out what they’re sure to object to, something that you didn’t really want in the first place, you can get away with things that are as graphic as you intended, while appearing to have compromised your way to an R-rating. But does any of that really make a difference? Clearly the player understands what’s going on behind those filters.įilm directors have long filmed particularly graphic scenes never intended to make the final cut, as a form of misdirection for the MPAA. This is similar to the filters that were added to the most violent sections of THQ and Volition’s The Punisher to avoid an Adults Only rating. With the recent announcement that Target is refusing to carry the game, it bears investigating whether or not all this controversy is justified.Īpparently, what allowed Manhunt 2‘s rating to be dialed down to Mature was the blur and graphical filters applied to the grisly kill sequences. ![]() So it very well could be that Manhunt 2 was subject to more stringent scrutiny from the ESRB in the wake of those events. In fact, to my knowledge, Rockstar’s only flirtation with AO stemmed from the inadvertent inclusion of the infamous “Hot Coffee Mod” in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It seems interesting to note that the first Manhunt title did not garner the dreaded Adults Only rating from the ESRB. The fact is they raise eyebrows, but they also happen to make very good games. Whether or not Rockstar sets out to offend is beside the point. Grand Theft Auto, State of Emergency, Bully and even the original Manhunt have all been the subject of scrutiny from the media and various organizations. Certainly Rockstar is no stranger to controversy. It’s impossible to discuss Manhunt 2 without discussing the issues surrounding its rating and release.

![]() Why should architects consider big doors in a wider range of home styles and sizes? We’re accustomed to creating large openings with a French patio door with sidelight windows on both sides. These moving glass panels provide maximum views with no interruptions of sightlines and also can perform well from thermal, energy, structural, and air and water performance perspectives.īut that innovation does not need to be restricted only to the largest, most opulent homes, as there are now ample opportunities to scale indoor-outdoor connections within smaller footprints. Innovation has led to opportunities to go bigger, with multiple opening panels spanning 50 feet or more to create larger clear openings. In fact, this is hardly a trend at all-desiring a great view has been around since the dawn of time. ![]() The trend toward indoor-outdoor living remains strong, including blurring the lines between the two, expanding the interior space, and bringing the outdoors in. But what about smaller homes and smaller budgets? Or homes in areas more prone to bugs or wind? In recent years, options and price points for these products have broadened, helping to make large doors scalable for home size, geography, and even budget. This is particularly true for creating seamless indoor-outdoor connections via multi-panel doors.

This game requires no strategy whatsoever, it's purely a puzzle tower defense where you have to build the right sequence of towers at the right times and in the right places, but now the expansion introduces a twist: NOW YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE RIGHT PART OF THE SCREEN AT THE RIGHT TIME TOO!! Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to add repetitive micro to this linear slog? The art style and presentation is hugely improved from the original game but the core gameplay is as broken, linear, and rubbish as ever. Like extreme micromanagement and clicking 6000 times per level? This might be your thing, if you also enjoy "connecting the dots" of the "strategy" the fools that made this rubbish desire. ![]() This game requires no strategy whatsoever, it's purely a puzzle OH SNAP MICROMANAGEMENT ORGY!

This is a sick and twisted expansion to what was a masochistic, tedious, uninspired, and broken original. iBomber PD is a great addition to the growing tower defense genre. The much appreciated and often life-saving "dig in" option is a must for the latter levels. As mentioned before, the new perk system is an excellent addition giving your turrets more options and abilities as well as the cash system. Maybe they could've added some neat little frills like debris or soldiers screaming but - maybe next game. It's a no-frills approach to tower defense but that may be it's charm: blandness keeps you focused on the enemies poring in trying to take over your bases. The look of the game - like the original - is very simple and effective. Tower defense fans will definitely appreciate this title with its strategies, perks and challenging terrains. ![]() A great sequel and great improvements as well. Most places will allow you to try out gear one to two times, and if you do not like it, return or exchange it. Look for adjustable straps or different size options in the waist belt design to find the perfect fit. Having the correct size and appropriate fit is essential, because you want to make sure the fanny pack sits in a comfortable location around your core area, doesn’t bounce when fully loaded, but also doesn’t feel tight or restrictive. Many packs come in different sizes and have adjustable waists that will accommodate any body type. S.C.: You need a proper fitting pack that will be secure around your waist to minimize bounce when fully loaded. RW : Any tips on running while wearing a fanny pack? Sometimes I’ll even run with a GoPro camera too, and I’ve found waist packs to be a great way to store all these items and keep my hands free. I often run with my car keys, an ID/credit card/cash, and some extra energy gels. S.C.: Most packs have ample phone storage compartments and zippered pockets for extra security. RW : What’s the most surprising thing you’ve fit into a fanny pack? ![]() This is also an added bonus if it is raining or snowing because your waist pack will stay lighter and not get as bogged down with water. S.C.: Look for designs with a kind of “breathable air mesh” material to help keep you light and dry. RW: What’s your preferred material and why? But don’t be afraid to throw it on and run a few strides to test this in the position you prefer most. I find that wearing them higher on my waist, rather than on my hips, helps reduce bounce. More often than not, fanny packs can be super bouncy while running, which will quickly ruin any run. But, you should consider a pack’s bounce factor. So strapping on a fanny pack to swallow your necessities is already helpful from a performance-gain standpoint. Performance: Being hands-free during a run helps posture and allows your training to be more effective, says Amanda Foland, an ACSM–certified personal trainer, ISSA–sports nutrition specialist, and a professional triathlete. Keep in mind a wider belt is likely to be more comfortable, because it can distribute the weight you’re carrying more evenly. Flapping straps can be uncomfortable, even at low speeds. Storage options, like strap loops, for the excess fabric after you’ve strapped in is a small detail that can make a big difference. The maximum strap length among our recommendations ranges from 36 to nearly 62 inches. ” In terms of water bottle storage, some models incorporate purpose-built pockets, whereas others are large enough to fit a small bottle inside the main compartment.īelt: Pay attention to the belt, which is typically adjustable. “You can easily and quickly reach items that you need while on the move, and the extra weight is less noticeable. “You can carry all sorts of items like extra gels and snacks bars, and some packs are even designed to carry fluid bottles,” professional trail runner Sage Canaday says. Many bags have some interior organization, but a few other places to check include a bag’s lid and back, which are great for easy-access storage. Pockets: One of the first things I take stock of is pockets: how many there are, if they have zippers (a personal priority for me), and where they are located on the fanny pack. In addition to my own experience, I tapped a certified personal trainer and a professional runner for their recommendations and advice. ![]() ![]() They are also great for outdoor walks and on runs when you need more room to stash things like water bottles and fuel. I love fanny packs (They double as a wallet and purse!) and tend to wear them across my chest during errands, on mailbox trips, and most other activities, unless I’m exercising. The Expert: I run three times a week, anywhere from 1 to 5 miles, and hit up HIIT and bootcamp classes at least twice a week. ![]() Best for the Beach: Lola Sprite Recycled Chakra Bum Bag.Best for Errands: State Lorimer Fanny Pack.Best for Hydration: Asics Waist Pouch L.Best Water-Repellent Pack: Vuori x Aloha Mini Hip Pack.Best Organization: Athleta Kinetic Waist Bag.Best for the Gym: Gymshark Crossbody Bag.Best for Ultras: Camelbak Podium Flow 4 Hydration Belt.Best Storage Space: Lululemon Clean Lines Belt Bag.Best for Travel: Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack.Best Overall: Cotopaxi Bataan 3L Del Día.And though many runners might have ditched them in recent, err, decades for running belts, fanny packs have come a long way in recent years that make them an amazing asset before, during, and after your training. ![]() ![]() Overall, our goal was to comprehensively evaluate each timer’s performance and features to help you choose a hose timer for your own needs. The better a timer performed in each test, the more points it received. We also tried additional features, such as rain delay or manual override, and assessed how easy the timer was to program and use. Then, we reviewed the programming features, testing the timer’s ability to set watering schedules and adjust watering duration and frequency. When testing hose timers, we started by attaching each one to a spigot and connecting it to a hose (or two, if applicable). We scoured online reviews and analyzed product specifications and features to decide which timers to include in our tests. Photo: Glenda Taylor for Bob Vila How We Tested the Best Hose Timersīefore conducting hands-on testing of hose timers, we researched more than two dozen brands and models to identify the ones most highly rated and recommended by experts and consumers.

To be effective, a hose timer should be simple to use, allowing for quick and easy watering whenever and wherever necessary. We selected the most popular and highest-rated models and tried them out in our yards and gardens. We wanted to know which of today’s top hose timers really deliver on their claims of simplifying watering, so we tested them ourselves. ![]() However, it’s important to note that a hose timer is different than a sprinkler controller, which is an electronic device designed specifically to work with an automatic sprinkler system. The hose timer’s position allows it to control water flow to the hose and the sprinkler (if one is connected). A hose timer is a simple device that connects directly between a hose and a water spigot. ![]() ![]() What is the secret of the Minesweeper game? If a square without a number is discovered, it indicates that none of the neighboring squares have a mine and these are automatically discovered. Some squares have a number, this number indicates the mines that are in all the surrounding squares. To play, you simply have to fill in the blank cells in such a way that each row, column and 3×3 box does not have repeated numbers. SuDoKus are usually structured in grids divided into boxes of 3×3 cells in which there are some numbers written beforehand. As addictive as having to clear a minefield is, the game was not invented as a source of entertainment. It was developed by engineer Robert Doner in 1989 and became popular as a result of the Windows versions. Minesweeper was one of the first games to be installed on the Windows interface. Hold down the Shift key while moving the pointer over the Minesweeper tiles, until a white pixel appears in the upper left corner of your monitor.

Later, to keep peace, he picked dora milaje ("adored ones") from rival tribes to serve as his personal guard and ceremonial wives-in-training. One of his first acts was to disband and exile the Hatut Zeraze-the Wakandan secret police-and its leader, his adopted brother Hunter the White Wolf. T'Challa earned the title and attributes of the Black Panther by defeating the various champions of the Wakandan tribes. The two broke off their relationship due to his desire to avenge his father's death and to become the type of man who could suitably lead Wakanda, but they would see each other over the years when they could. While on his Wakandan walkabout rite of passage, T'Challa met and fell in love with apparent orphaned teen Ororo Munroe, who would grow up to become the X-Men member Storm. T'Challa was next in line to be the king of Wakanda and Black Panther, but until he was ready to become the leader of the nation, his uncle S'yan, T'Chaka's younger brother, successfully passed the trials to become the Black Panther. While on this trip she was kidnapped and taken prisoner by Anton Pretorius (T'Challa would not learn of this until years later). Around the same time, his stepmother Ramonda visited her old home in South Africa. With his people still in danger, a young T'Challa used Klaw's sound weapon on him, gravely injuring him and forcing him to flee. T'Chaka's first wife, T'Challa's birth mother N'Yami, died while in labor with T'Challa, so T'Challa would be raised by his father and his father's second wife Ramonda, at least until T'Chaka was murdered by the adventurer Ulysses Klaw. Reasoning that outsiders would exploit Wakanda for this valuable resource, the ruler at the time, King T'Chaka, like his father and other Panthers before him, concealed his country from the outside world. In the distant past, a meteorite made of the (fictional) vibration-absorbing mineral vibranium crashed in Wakanda, and was unearthed. The Panther is a hereditary title, but one still must earn it. The Panther habit is a symbol of office (head of state) and is used even during diplomatic missions. In addition to ruling the country, he is also chief of its various tribes (collectively referred to as the Wakandas). The Black Panther is the ceremonial title given to the chief of the Panther Tribe of the advanced African nation of Wakanda. The late Chadwick Boseman portrayed Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as voiced a different version of character in the Disney+ animated series, What If.?

Black Panther has made numerous appearances in various television shows, animated films and video games. He is the first black superhero in mainstream American comics, debuting several years before such early African-American superheroes as Marvel Comics' the Falcon and Luke Cage, and DC Comics' Mal Duncan, Tyroc, Black Lighting and the Green Lantern John Stewart. He would then become the protagonist of his own franchise.
