5/26/2023 0 Comments Transformers thief in the night![]() ![]() Trypticon and Octane arrive back in Carbombya, and Fakkadi admits that they haven't done such a bad job. ![]() Trypticon lifts up the entire building, taking all the gold with it. Trypticon consumes a cube, as Octane tells him to take the goods. Octane drops off a few energon cubes and tells Trypticon to re-juice himself, as he doesn't want him to go snapping any of his interior muscle cables. With no choice left, Octane and Trypticon head to Kentucky, and approach Fort Knox. Octane says they'll make it a rich paradise -does he like gold? Fakkadi says he's interested, but it'll take all the gold of the United States to persuade him to let them stay another day. Octane says he and Trypticon want to turn his country into a paradise, but he says it already is. Octane asks who will guard the coastline if they aren't around, but Fakkadi says he'll have radar guided rocket defenses installed. If they don't leave, he'll call in the Autobots. Fakkadi says that he, as supreme military commander, king of kings and president for life of the socialist democratic federative republic of Carbombya, he orders the Decepticons out of his country by sunset tomorrow. Just then, Fakkadi and a few of his men ride up on camels. Trypticon isn't too happy to find out how long it'll now take, as Octane had said it'd take one more week previously. 1,000 barrels of oil makes one tiny cube of energon, and Trypticon drinks 50 energon cubes an hour! At the oilfields, energon production is still going on.Īs Trypticon consumes some cubes, Octane says Carbombya energon could make him the strongest Decepticon in the galaxy, and he guarantees Trypticon he'll be as good as new in six months. His aides say that Trypticon and Octane have been very useful at keeping the fanatics and Imperialists away from the coastline, but Fakkadi is concerned about how much oil they use to create energon. He can no longer tolerate them in his Carbombya. Octane tells him the climate of Carbombya is much better for his health, and the oil here makes the best energon in the galaxy! At the palace, Abdul Fakkadi says that those two Decepticons have outlived their usefulness to him. Trypticon thinks he should have stayed longer on Dinobot island, as he doesn't like Carbombya. Octane tells him it's just as he's said -he's still convalescent, and hasn't gotten over the bashing he took from Metroplex. The two head back off to the city, but Trypticon complains he must rest, as he's walked too far. Trypticon is still convinced he's not wasting anything, and has destroyed a dangerous enemy. Octane says he's wasting all of his energy shooting at vacation cruise ships. Trypticon says he's a big hero now, as he's attacked an enemy boat. He transforms just as Octane pulls up and tells him not to overexerting himself, as he's just starting to recover. On the beach, Trypticon is sat there in his base mode, firing a few more rockets. But the ship is suddenly comes under missile attack. The ship's captain tells the passengers that there is no danger for them to be here, as long as they stay beyond the three mile limit, no one will harm them. He took a hike and left a trail going due east.Įlsewhere at sea, a cruise ship passes by African nation of Carbombya. It seems that whilst Trypticon sank, he didn't kick the bucket. He returns to the surface and says that there are no remains of Trypticon down there. Seaspray dives down to where Trypticon had last been seen, and sees that the Decepticon has been on the move -he finds giant footprints on the ocean floor. Seaspray and Broadside are sent to investigate. Teletraan II say affirmative, but Metroplex did not finish Trypticon off forever. Rodimus says that Metroplex hurled Trypticon into the ocean, and he never resurfaced. Teletraan II says that request can't be fulfilled, as it never happened. Skydive says it's where Metroplex pulverizes Trypticon, and finishes him off forever. ![]() Rodimus Prime says he means when Metroplex scraps Trypticon. Teletraan II asks him to define what he means by "good part". As the Autobots watch, Grimlock says he's seen this part 10 times already, and tells Teletraan II to fast forward to the good part. It turns out that this fight is recorded footage from when the two previously fought each other. Metroplex fires a couple of missiles at him, as the two get into a fight. Trypticon stomps his way through a city, but Metroplex warns him that if he takes one more step, he'll be scrap metal. Thief in the Night -RQ87's The Transformers coverage ![]() ![]() ![]() Capcom: Card Fighters ClashĪbsolute gold on the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Even if I’d personally prefer to see Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome or Soul Nomad & the World Eaters. I figure if this was ported it would sell pretty well as I’m sure a few Wii owners would want a hit of nostalgia. An intricate story with a focus on phantoms that has some really great music tucked away. A different take to norm for Nippon Ichi’s isometric strategy rpgs at the time, Phantom Brave used a radial distance to move and attack. Originally ported from PS2 to the Wii, PSP and PC this gem feels like we should have seen it again by now on current gen consoles and ported onto to Switch. KOF13 on the go just sounds like a slam dunk and the idea of those visuals condensed into the handheld screen just sounds like a knock out. There are plenty of SNK games already on Switch so the groundwork has already been laid. Giving the online a little polish to allow for the Switch hardware would be the only necessary update to this diamond. The mechanics, the flow of combat and everything about KOF13 makes it just a fantastic fighter. It may not be the newest in the King of Fighters franchise but its visual sprite-work is a masterclass in fighter splendor. I bought a Wii just to play it and I still don’t regret it! The King of Fighters XIII It’s time for some acceptance and for this game to be ported. What other video game allows you to colour a 2d print out of a house in one scene to then have that house appear in the next in game with those colours? A smorgasbord of innovative ideas and clever psychological profiling throughout. Incredibly clever and overlooked due to being a Wii title ( although it was ported to PS2 & PSP) this really could use a bump in resolution and second chance at the limelight. ![]() ![]() Personally I found it to be the most underrated Silent Hill yet. It’s surprising how much a of a Marmite title Shattered Memories is with Silent Hill fans. This needs to happen just to get more people playing these amazing games. It would be a nice excuse to go back to these games and would make a great use of the touchscreen when in handheld mode. With all of the special polish they received and the ability to switch between the remastered and original visuals at the touch of a button. The most recent version of these two gems from the PC/360/PS3 would be ideal candidates. I think it’s about time we had a pack where both of these timeless classics were together. It’s not just good enough to port across each of these titles individually. Still, who doesn’t love a list of games? The Secret of Monkey Island & Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge ( Special Editions) I don’t feel like I’m entitled to these games to be ported and I appreciate the amount of work it takes to get them playable in the first place. Thinking about how many games appear to be getting a second wind in sales on the handheld ( even if it mostly feels like the WiiU’s catalogue of great games) There are plenty more that seem to have been left behind. It really is a nifty handheld with horrible joy-cons that runs a lot of games surprisingly well. ![]() Essentially the Switch is the PSVita2 that never was. All my recent playing on the Switch ( reviews in progress) has given me more time to appreciate why the, “port this to Switch cowards” meme is a thing ( more than the internet just being a hive mind of madness). ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Astellia online best class![]() ![]() This is definitely not a game I see as worth playing seriously. I’d still tentatively recommend checking out Astellia if/when it becomes free to play, but only as an exercise in kitschy silliness. Bless had better graphics, a better story, better classes, and better combat. ![]() ![]() While it seems a bit arbitrary to me, the trend seems to be to compare Astellia to Bless Online, and for my money, Bless is a much better game. Warrior, assassin, archer… There’s not even an attempt at originality. The classes, for instance, are as generic as they come. There’s really nothing about it that’s unique or interesting - it plays like it was built using a checklist of generic fantasy MMO tropes. The worst thing is that without Astellia’s glaring flaws - its overbearing attempts at story-telling, the vague whiffs of child exploitation, and the like - it wouldn’t be memorable for anything at all. A lot of the game’s other problems feel pretty deeply ingrained, though. This was a true beta test, not a soft launch, so there’s still time for combat to improved. This, at least, could be attributed to beta jankiness. If there’s one thing you can usually count on Eastern games to deliver, it’s great combat animations, but in Astellia - at least as an archer - they were at best on par with those you’d see in a ten year old Western WoW clone. None of my abilities had any kind of flair to their visual or audio effects, and it felt like they had no impact at all. What surprises me more than anything, though, is how bad the animations are. This is reasonable attire for an adventurer to wear into battle. There’s an active dodge mechanic, but I didn’t encounter anything that actually needed to be dodged while I was playing. I will say some of the character and mob design is pretty cool, at least.Ĭombat in Astellia is your standard tab target affair, complete with mobs that drop dead after a few hits and don’t seem to require any tactics to defeat. The bar is pretty high these days, and Astellia isn’t going to compete with the likes of Black Desert, especially since there isn’t a lot of personality to its art style. The graphics are pretty, but not so pretty as to make the game really stand out. Not a good sign considering this feature is the Astellia’s chief claim to fame. Maybe they feel more impactful when you’re in more challenging content and/or have leveled them up more, but in the time I played it felt like I could have ignored them entirely and nothing really would have changed. ![]() It’s also probably worth noting that the Astels didn’t really seem to do much. I acquired her whilst an army of demons burned my character’s home village, presumably murdering everyone she ever cared about, and the tonal dissonance was so whiplash-inducing my immersion never really recovered. It’s exactly as creepy as it sounds.Īlso, one of them has a giant cup of tea on her head, and her abilities centered around buffing allies with “soothing tea” mid-combat. Looking over the journal of potential Astels you can get, it seems there are more options later on, but the Astels available to me at the start were all in the form of seven year old girls. Instead you’re just bombarded by an onslaught of corny dialogue and ridiculous fantasy names - and this is coming from a guy who willingly and happily reads a series where the name “Celephriandullias-Tildorangelor” is a central part of the story.Īs far as gameplay goes, the main selling feature of Astellia - and the source of its name - are the Astels, fey spirits you can collect and then summon to aid you in combat. There’s very little context for anything. There’s not really an effort to explain the setting to you, to develop any characters, or to give you any reason to become invested. I admire that the developers actually wanted to make story a priority, but they’ve mistaken more story for better story. To start with, the tutorial is about 90% cutscenes and 10% gameplay, or at least it feels that way. I won’t say it’s as bad, but Astellia reminds me of Trinium Wars in that it feels less like a real game and more like a parody of bad MMO tropes. Astellia isn’t a game that’s really been on my radar, but the Massively OP staff were given a number of keys to the beta, and I’m always up try a new MMO, so I decided to check it out. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Pathological fear of gums![]() ![]() Find family and friends who are very supportive of childbirth. Psychological factors such as low self-esteem, past trauma, or a pre-existing mental health conditionįortunately, there are research-backed ways to treat this debilitating phobia and equip women to have the family and birth experience they desire. ![]() Socioeconomic status (not having access to needed resources).Fear of inability to handle/manage pain during the pregnancy and birth process.Fear of loss of control during the pregnancy and birth process.Hearing traumatic birth stories from family or friends.Hormonal changes during pregnancy that can make it more challenging to manage one’s anxiety.There are several hypotheses for the origins of tokophobia, including: Secondary tokophobia refers to a woman who has developed this fear after a traumatic birthing experience. Tokophobia is often stronger and more prevalent in women who have not given birth before. Primary tokophobia refers to a woman who hasn’t experienced pregnancy or childbirth but has a strong fear of both. Tokophobia has two classifications: primary or secondary. In all of these cases, tokophobia contributes to women having an intense fear of pregnancy and childbirth that affects their ability to function on a daily basis. Other women with tokophobia have reported opting for a Caesarean section to help mitigate their fears of delivery. In some cases, tokophobia can lead to an obsessive focus on using hormonal birth control or avoiding sexual activity altogether, in an effort to avoid any possibility of becoming pregnant. It is estimated that 9-11% of women who experience tokophobia have delayed pregnancy or considered terminating a pregnancy because of their fears. This phobia differs from the less intense pregnancy fears many women experience because it can lead to a strong desire to avoid pregnancy altogether. Tokophobia can cause strong physical and emotional distress, such as having a physical reaction to a pregnancy and to childbirth-related stimuli (e.g., seeing a pregnant woman or watching a video on childbirth). A clinical diagnosis of tokophobia is described as a “pathological fear of pregnancy and can lead to avoidance of childbirth,” Although relatively uncommon, tokophobia affects an estimated 5-15% of women. It is understandable that many women experience some apprehension over the intensity and unknown aspects of this intense, life-changing event.īut if pregnancy fear becomes all-encompassing or debilitating, it can become what is known as tokophobia. Having some level of anxiety about pregnancy and childbirth is perfectly normal. In fact, about 80% of women report feeling worried or fearful about their pregnancy or upcoming labor and delivery experience. In other words, the woman who feels completely at peace with the whole experience is rare, indeed! After all, your body goes through some significant (and amazing) changes during pregnancy, and childbirth can be a tough and painful, yet empowering experience. What is tokophobia, and how does it differ from typical anxieties about pregnancy and childbirth? She was researching strategies and skills to help her through labor and delivery as her due date approached. Her anxieties about childbirth aren’t unusual, especially if it is a woman’s first pregnancy or she has had a traumatic birth experience. However, for some women, the fear of childbirth goes beyond this typical stress and anxiety, causing the debilitating, pathological fear of pregnancy and childbirth known as tokophobia. “There’s so much I didn’t know about childbirth and, the more I learn, the more anxious I get about all of the things that could go wrong,” a client recently told me. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Sengoku rance nyaa![]() If this is your first Rance game however I recommend you look at the others first before trying this one out. If you like strategy games or Rance games it's a definite buy if you ask me. Overall however I still recommend this game and it still a great addition to the Rance series. I havn't seen he worst ever made by any means but I have played about 20+ eroge so I feel I have a good baseline at least. This game is probably like a 4/10 or 5/10. Like all the other Rance games on this site have fantastic on this site and are 10/10. No more no less go into this expecting an actual good game with kinda bad CG's. Now for my main gripe which is the real reason this is only getting 4 stars instead of 5 is that the CG's kinda suck plain and simple. Notably I am kind of a novice at strategy games however as I haven't played many. ![]() However if you are the type to unlock all the CG's like me expect to put a lot of time into this game for sure. You can turn the attack animations off which is nice though. Like I don't mind long games and maybe I'm just dumb but I will put a few hours into this game and get no where. I just hate that this game takes forever to play. One of them turning off the timer completely. There is a good workaround to that though with the all new games after the first one offer you power-ups and such. One is that it is timed and I just generally don't like that. Overall it actually really is a good game and its apart of one of my fav series but I have a few big gripes with he game. The core of the actual battles is mostly the same but there is a lot more that goes into it and characters that you capture actually have very unique abilities that really change the gameplay and available strategies up. There are also good guides out for it if your into that as well. The game has a lot of depth and secret scenes. As a strategy game it probably is even above average comparatively to many other ones that are not eroge related. Truthfully this might be the game that has the most depth in its gameplay and has a lot of replay value. For those who have only played one Rance game just know that the gameplay is a bit different in every game and this is a big departure from any of the other ones I've played. ![]() I am personally huge fan of the Rance series and it was introduced to me by manga gamer. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Belgian waffle recipe![]() It is simple and easy to use, easy to clean and store and isn’t too expensive.

They are often eaten as a breakfast food. In this recipe, we are substituting baking powder for yeast. ![]() Though one of the main ingredients in Belgian waffles is yeast, this ingredient can be substituted with self-rising flour. Today Im sharing a simple technique I use when I make my favorite crispy Belgian waffle recipe. As opposed to a traditional waffle, the Belgian waffle attributes its height to the use of yeast batter instead of a pancake batter. In Belgium, there are a number of different types of waffle, including the Brussels waffle, the Liège waffle and the stroopwafel what is known in North America as the “Belgian waffle” is most similar to the Brussels waffle. 1x 2x 3x 2 cups all purpose flour cups granulated sugar 3 tsp baking powder 2 large eggs, whites and yolks separated 1 cups whole milk.

He describes a shirt as having a smell of “total MoonPie wrapper.” In a spasm of insight toward the end of the novel, Ovenman exclaims: “Suddenly I am risking my job, the only real connection I have to anything in this life.” At least here he acknowledges that the stakes are fairly high. When he sets a lock combination, for example, it must be 23-3-7 because it’s the only one he can remember.

Ovenman literally makes notes of things (“Pizza is Power” “I am Ovenman”) all on post-its that he puts on whatever surface is available, including his body. This is the kind of place where people are identified by their social or culinary functions rather than by their names-or rather, their function becomes their names: Thin Pie Guy, Pasta Dude, Front Girl, Salad Bitch. He’s a denizen of Florida, lover of Marigold, friend of Blaise and aficionado of skateboards and street bikes, his favorite being a “Haro with the kinky triangular frame.” Although he’s recently lost his job as pit cook at Ken’s Barbie-Q, life is looking up when he finds a position as Ovenman at Piecemeal Pizza By The Slice, a microcosm of the weird subculture When inhabits. Narrator When Thinfinger is the eponymous character. Yet questions remain: Why is the president so unpopular?

She also becomes estranged from her husband, a reality-show producer, and involved with the chief justice, whose wife left him for a woman immediately after the court sanctioned gay marriage. Instead of relying on the common sense and colloquial language that have made her such a hit as a TV personality, she tries her best to apply legal precedent befitting the Supreme Court, thus alienating many of her fellow justices and most of the public. ![]() After she sails through the confirmation process, both the new justice and the novel seem to lose their way. With his popularity at an all-time low and with no intention of running for a second term, the president then dares the Senate to reject his third nominee, America’s most popular jurist, Pepper Cartwright of television’s highly rated Courtroom Six. On a Supreme Court as divided as the country, President Donald Vanderdamp finds his first two nominees to fill a crucial vacancy rejected on the shakiest of grounds (one wrote a grade-school review of To Kill a Mockingbird and found parts of the movie “kind of boring”). The satiric scenario has plenty of potential, but sketchy characters and slapdash plotting result in a split decision. As before, Buckley ( Boomsday, 2007, etc.) blurs the line distinguishing the historical, the plausible and the preposterous amid the political circus of anything-goes Washington. ![]() 5/26/2023 0 Comments Basketball statkeeper![]() Help further development of this program by donation.Ĭontact the author/coach by email for more information.ĬENTRAL STAT ©1997-2018 Coach K.
