So when Steve Jobs calls something a hobby, I’m reminded of a professional baseball player named Bo Jackson who took up a “hobby” in 1987-playing pro football for the Oakland Raiders. Market research firm eMarketer reckons that ad spending in conjunction with Internet videos could grow to a $3-billion-a-year business. “Hobby is an interesting choice of words, considering how important Internet video is widely expected to become in the next several years. In time, it may grow into something much bigger, just as the iPod did,” Hesseldahl reports. So for now, Apple TV remains an interesting sideshow to its existing $20 billion to $24 billion business of selling Macs, iPods, iPhones, and everything else Apple purveys. ![]() There’s not much of a business yet in bridging the gap between Internet video and the TV set-Jobs ballparked the current addressable market at just hundreds of thousands of users. “Jobs described Apple TV as a ‘hobby,’ saying that Apple’s three main businesses are the Mac, the iPod and the iTunes store, and soon, the iPhone. After a software upgrade available in mid-June, Apple TV users will be able to watch video downloads from Google’s YouTube,” Arik Hesseldahl reports for BusinessWeek. “On May 30, in a conversation with Walt Mossberg at the D: All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif., Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed exactly what he has in mind for the Apple TV, and while it doesn’t look like a big deal today, the implications are very interesting.

1366x768 metro last light9/3/2023 ![]() The more quiet parts in between may feel tedious to action purists. ![]() Apart from this, we were impressed by the sound, especially by the subtle music and the unsettling background noise which fit perfectly to this scenario.ĭespite of all these strengths, "Metro: Last Light" is definitely not a game for everybody. And it took us some time to grow accustomed to the disconcerting Russian accent which is present in both the English and the German version. Gunfights could feel a little bit more "lush". ![]() The mechanics of the fighting system work rather well, even though we are not fully convinced by the weapon feedback as well as the ambient sounds. Of course, "Last Light" is still a shooter and as such perfectly playable with the classic Rambo approach. They don't even hear bullets fired with a silencer from a few meters away - this makes using stealth almost too easy at times. From time to time, AI opponents do not even realize that their colleague is missing or they don't react to a lamp being shot directly next to them. One small disappointment: Dead enemies cannot be carried away, and there are even some AI blackouts. To be honest, we almost always preferred stealth in "Last Light" to the stealth system used in " Dishonored ": With the right strategy, whole levels can be cleared without firing a single shot. There are more gameplay options than before: Lamps can be shot out, energy distribution stations can be manipulated and guards can be neutralized from behind or with throwing knives. Thanks to a light meter on our watch and acoustic signals it is much easier than before to estimate Artyom's visibility to his opponents. This does not only have to do with a revamped artificial intelligence but also with expanded feature and indicator sets. While we weren't able to prevent detection in the first part even if we tried hard (due to shards of glass or tin cans), stealth now works a lot better. We consider the revised stealth system to be one of the most important improvements of "Last Light". "Metro: Last Light" does indeed come with a very distinct scenario. And even the monsters offer a distinct design language which transcends the usual alien-zombie-terrorist enemies found in other shooters. The love or obsession for details of the developers is evident at every corner. The (often rather linearly designed) levels drip with smaller and larger objects. But our favorite was the industry-leading scene lighting which falters neither underground nor on the surface.Īnother thing about the atmosphere is the level of details. Graphics quality is almost always top-notch (with the exception of facial animations), no matter whether we are looking at the textures, the number of polygons or light, fire, particle and shadow effects. Although graphics fetishists might not be too impressed ( "Metro 2033" had been almost as visually stunning as "Last Light"), we are. How exactly does 4A Games manage to create such a consistent, credible game world where many other studios have failed? On one hand, it's all about excellent technology. Some players may feel reminded of the visual aesthetics of the "Stalker" series - this is no coincidence, since many developers of "Metro 2033" and "Last Light" had been involved with "Stalker" in the past. Only few first-person shooters manage to create a more immersive experience. As in the first part, we slip into the role of the nearly 20-year old Artyom who has to survive in this harsh and hostile environment.Īs expected, "Last Light" inherits one of the strengths of its predecessor: The extremely intense atmosphere. Among others, there are fascists ("Reich") and communists ("Reds"), but the subway tunnels are also populated by numerous horribly mutated creatures which are hostile towards the protagonist as well. This harsh existence without daylight or enough food is made even worse by a number of rivaling factions. After a nuclear war that has laid waste to Russia, the remaining humans try to hide underground. Missile base? "Dark Ones"? Without a fast-paced introductory video describing the preceding events, those who didn't play the first part would not be able to follow the plot.Īs the title implies, "Metro" takes place in the tunnels of Moscow's subway system. After the conquest of the missile base D6 and the subsequent proceedings, we are supposed to locate the (allegedly) last survivor of the ominous "Dark Ones". Last Light continues the storyline told in its predecessor seamlessly. For the original German review, see here. Bloc loc rulers9/3/2023 ![]() Please be aware that all sales are final.

Subsmarine dive north carolina9/2/2023 ![]() “Absolutely - a salute that’s well-deserved, and 75 years late.” The 88mm deck gun of U-576. “It’s a chance to give these guys a salute?” Strassmann asked. East Coast, that effort is appreciated and it will be-remembered.” This is our opportunity to say publicly and acknowledge that the people that fought here off the coast of North Carolina and the U.S. ![]() “When I see this area, whether I’m on the surface or we’re down underneath, I see Gettysburg before it was designated as a national park,” Alberg said. Shipwrecks like these represent how close World War II came to mainland America, which is why NOAA is working to make this graveyard part of a national marine sanctuary. This guy’s glasses are probably inside this steel tube that we found.” “There’s one particular picture of these guys in the conning tower,” Hoyt noted, “and they’re looking through binoculars, and one of them’s got, sort of, a goofy pair of glasses on. Forty-five German sailors are entombed inside. But no one knew for sure what happened to the crew of U-576 - until the expedition team saw that all of the U-boat’s hatches are sealed. U-boats attacked his convoy three times.Įvery one aboard Bluefields survived. In 1942 he was an 18-year-old cadet midshipman with the Merchant Marine Academy. Ninety-three-year-old Louis Segal remembers loose lips really could sink ships. “This notion of ‘Loose lips, sink ships’ - if you talk, somebody could die because of your careless conversations - really began to gel with the American public,” Alberg said. The War Advertising Council helped teach them one of the war’s most enduring sayings: “Loose lips sink ships.” Most Americans then never learned the scope of the attacks, but coastal residents knew. This German submarine was sunk on May 9, 1942. ![]() And unfortunately, sometimes, they’d even find victims, remains that had washed over from some of these merchant seamen and sailors that were lost.” The U-352 is perhaps the most famous dive site north of the Florida Keys.

![]() Though if you want you can still install one of the new guns on a lighter mech. That’s where the “Heavy Metal” name comes from. And of course, there will be heavy assault mechs available that could handle those weapons immense heat output and weight. Of course, those are just types and in-game you’ll find a few variations of each. Missiles burn mechs into shutdown in a couple of turns. Snub-PPC has reduced range but is devastating up close.

And a few electronic gadgets for your mechs. There are also new “Flashpoints”, including the ones that take place in the urban environment.

Because of them fighting on the city streets is a bit different than in the most other biomes. This DLC adds urban maps with lots of large buildings. As the name implies, it wields a giant hatchet and inflicts terrifying damage in melee combat. If you are going to be an ally to oneįaction, maybe it’s wise to side with it during the “flashpoint”.įlashpoint DLC also has additional mechs added to the roster.

Do you give the captured spy to your employer as promised or sell him back? Maybe you decide to side with the folks you’ve just fought because you learned they are not who you thought they are. Even more, many of them have branching choices. Yes, most “flashpoints” are actually chains of missions. Or you have to fight the next mission right away, without time for repairs. Or you have restrictions on your troops’ weight. There are always “unexpected” reinforcements, various special conditions – like in one “flashpoint” you can choose pilots, but mechs are predefined. Both in terms of dialogues that explore political intricacies of the lore (sometimes introducing interesting characters), and challenges that often have far more nuance than ordinary tasks. However, the missions themselves are well written. Which looks especially funny when our mercenary squad arrives in the nick of time, regardless of how many days left. The time limit for those “flashpoints” (those that have one) look quite arbitrary. And the very first large DLC added “flashpoints”… which are not exactly what I had in mind. Even if description told about overwhelming assault or any other urging matters – you could wait any amount of time in orbit before taking the job. One of the things that I felt to be unnatural in the base game was that contracts never expire. Each adding not only new mechs and equipment but also various missions and even mini-campaigns. Three DLCs: Flashpoint, Urban Warfare, and Heavy Metal. ![]() Well, now for the BattleTech Season Pass you know. With Season Passes there is additional distrust, as you don’t even know what exactly is going to be included. Sometimes the question arises if it was even necessary to cut some things due to lack of time for polish or everything was made purely to sell some things twice. Though not without reasons – too many publishers abuse DLCs, asking too much money for too little experience. These days players too often treat additional downloadable content with suspicion.

From day one, we set out to shake up the music industry and partnering with a company like EMPIRE continues that legacy. “Blackground Records has always been about independence and ownership,” he said in a statement. ![]() However, it’s been announced the singer’s former label Blackground Records, which was founded by her uncle Barry Hankerson, will re-release its entire catalogue digitally after securing a new partnership with independent label EMPIRE. Though the releases are against the wishes of her family, the estate said that Blackground’s poor communication ‘compels our heart to express a word - forgiveness.Late singer Aaliyah’s musical catalogue is set to hit digital platforms for the first time later this year.Ĭurrently, only the star’s debut LP ‘Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number’ is live on download and streaming platforms, alongside cuts from the ‘Romeo Must Die’ soundtrack and compilation albums. The Estate has demanded that Blackground provide a full account of its past earnings, and full disclosure of the terms of its new deal to distribute Aaliyah’s long embargoed music.” In addition, the Estate was not made aware of the impending release of the catalog until after the deal was complete and plans were in place. “For almost 20 years, Blackground has failed to account to the Estate with any regularity in accordance with recording contracts. Licalsi pointed towards a ‘gross lack of transparency' from the label, saying: Read this next: Dance music should be wary of posthumous releases He continued: ”Other than that first album, virtually the entire remainder of her catalogue, including many never released tracks, has been inexplicably withheld from the public by Blackground Records.”īlackground Records are planning to release Aaliyah’s music beginning this month with ‘One in a Million’ making its way to streaming platforms on August 20, with other projects to follow alongside compilations throughout September and October. “Since the early 2000s, only Aaliyah’s first album Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number has been available on streaming platforms because the right to distribute that record has been held by major record companies under contract with Aaliyah’s record label, Blackground Records,” The estate’s lawyer, Paul LiCalsi, said.

But the peso had recovered by the end of the month and strengthened to 19.79 by mid-April. The USD/MXN pair started 2022 at 20.51 and climbed to 21.38 in early March as the dollar rallied in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That dynamic has driven the dollar to 20-year highs against a basket of currencies – as measured by the US Dollar Index ( DXY) – this year, and sent it to record highs against some emerging markets currencies.
