![]() Skills are leveled up by using them and doing so you'll also unlock other skills from the same element branch.Īfter choosing our class, we started following a story driven quest chain about an evil cult called Cult of Ogrest, which also introduced us to some of the more complicated game features, such as the Haven Bag, a portable and totally customizable player house which can be placed almost anywhere in the world and used as personal market to sell stuff, or the dungeon mechanics. Moreover, each class is defined by 3 elements (from fire, water, air and earth) and offers 5 unlockable skills for each element. Each class has its very own unique mechanics, such as becoming more powerful the less HP it has, or summoning combat pets, or having random skill effects based on luck. Once you complete the tutorial, you will be able to choose one of the 15 classes/races of the game, a variety that, despite the high number, manage to offer totally different gameplay styles, which can be even further customized through builds and equipment. ![]() Moreover, during the tutorial we managed to find an hidden treasure chest which contained an emoticon animation for our character, so even this first small zone rewards players who enjoy esploration, very nice. The tutorial teaches you the ropes of the game such as the point and click movement and the mechanics of the complex turn-based combat system, with elements, skills, etc. We chose to play the tutorial zone and were given a very basic and neutral race/class for the tutorial only, which was a very simple human. Once you are logged into the game, you can choose to play the tutorial or skip it and go straight into the actual game world. Set 1000 years after Dofus, (the previous and still active MMORPG from Ankama), the game is a fantasy MMORPG with unique lore and environments, truly amazing 2D graphics and a turn based combat system which reminded us of Final Fantasy Tactics in some ways. ![]() The game has recently changed its business model switching to a more classic f2p formula, so we thought it was about time to give it a try. Wakfu is a popular MMORPG from Ankama, linked to an animated series with the same name, which was launched back in 2011 with a limited free-to-play option and a monthly subscription.

![]() On a purely technical level, “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” is dazzling, with an incredibly complicated rhyme scheme and a melody that barrels along on two notes until the flourish at the end of each verse. Written in Woodstock in the summer of 1964, while his folk-scene compadres Joan Baez and Mimi and Richard Fariña were Dylan’s houseguests, “It’s Alright, Ma” is a transition from the politically minded lyrics that had briefly been Dylan’s stock in trade to a broader vision of “life, and life only”: Instead of pointing fingers at a particular flaw of culture, the song tears down the entire decrepit thing, declaring that all is vanity and hypocrisy and phony propaganda. I did it once, and I can do other things now. “I don’t know how I got to write those songs,” Dylan said in 2004, apropos of “It’s Alright, Ma.” “Try to sit down and write something like that. Image Credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images He thought, “Wait a minute, that’s my song,” and he heard how it could be different. I think hearing our version was part of what made Dylan shift over to being a rocker. When he came to the studio where we were rehearsing and heard us do “Mr. Bob did not envision this song the way we did it. Truthfully, I think the Byrds were Bob’s best translators. Why are they making all that fuss about him?” Then I started really listening. I saw him play and thought, “Fuck, I can sing better than that. I had seen Bob back at Gerde’s Folk City in New York years earlier. The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time: Bob Dylan Tambourine Man,” I think he was finding himself as a poet. “To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free” - that was the line that got me. ![]() Tambourine Man” was the first time anyone put really good poetry on the radio The Beatles hadn’t gotten to “Eleanor Rigby” or “A Day in the Life” - they were still writing “Ooh, baby.” But Bob’s lyrics were exquisite. Image Credit: Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, IncĪs far as I can tell, the Byrds‘ recording of “Mr. Maybe even more in some kind of weird way.” “I still sing that song every once in a while,” Dylan said in 1985. The local session pros, supplemented by Robbie Robertson’s crying-treble guitar, brought the right unhurried empathy to Dylan’s vocal mood swings - from a whisper to a howl at the moon in the same verse - and unforgettable lyric images. In contrast, Dylan nailed “Johanna” on the first take in Nashville. The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time: Bob Dylan The Hawks were still too much of a bar band the song’s confessional complexity required poise as well as muscle. A November ’65 attempt to cut an electric “Johanna” with the Hawks (under the explicitly bitter title “Seems Like a Freeze Out”) had run aground after 14 takes. He debuted the song in concert in December 1965, to an audience that included ex-paramour Joan Baez and poet Allen Ginsberg, then played it every night on the 1966 world tour - notably in the solo acoustic sets. “He writes this whole song seemingly about this one girl, with these remarkable descriptions of her, but this isn’t the girl who’s on his mind! It’s somebody else!”ĭylan’s masterpiece of obsession - written, ironically, shortly after his marriage in 1965 - was a passion in itself. An extended, impressionistic account of a woozy New York City night, rich in pictorial detail and erotic longing, the five long verses zigzag between Dylan‘s acute dissection of one woman, the tangible and available Louise, and his longing for an absent ideal. “Visions of Johanna” is a tour de force, a breakthrough not only for the writer but for the very possibilities of songwriting. Image Credit: Jan Persson/Redferns/Getty Images I felt like I was just putting words down that were coming from somewhere else.” As Bono puts it, “Dylan stops wailing against the world, turns on himself and is brought to his knees.”ĭylan later described “Every Grain of Sand” as “an inspired song that just came to me…. “Every Grain of Sand” taps into a moving humility (“Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me,” he sings). Shadowing Dylan on vocals is gospel great (and Dylan flame) Clydie King: “I get chills when I hear her just breathe,” Dylan said. Equal parts Blakean mysticism and biblical resonance, the song abandons the self-righteousness that plagued Dylan’s religious work to offer a desperate prayer for salvation. “It’s like one of the great Psalms of David,” Bono says about “Every Grain of Sand,” the spellbinding ballad from Shot of Love that concludes Dylan‘s overtly Christian songwriting phase. ![]() From Western Digital, I believe there is an email to customers that Arstechnica and Bleeping Computer have – but it can also be viewed on the WD forum. Ultimately, the articles summarize what I outlined above. Then I found an article of Bleeping Computer as well as a contribution of Arstechnica, which take up the whole incident. This is because ports on the router or firewall need to be opened for this feature to work – any security hole can be exploited. This opens up an attack point for remote stories that happen via the Internet. Importantly, device owners can remotely access their files and manage their devices using the WD My Book Live app, even if the NAS is behind a firewall or router. It seems to hit the WD My Book Live, a network storage (NAS) device whose name is probably derived from its case shape, which looks like a book (see the image above). In the meantime, there are more calls for help on the web (, WD forum). It looks like an unknown third party has deleted the content and locked the user access. In the thread, other users confirm the problem, that something was deleted remotely and that similar log entries exist. The person affected writes that no one was at home at the time.

The handler should straddle the animal, place his or her knees behind the shoulders of the animal, and back the animal in a corner or against a wall to help control its hindquarters. Restraining an animal without assistance is better for those who have become proficient at drawing blood. Another assistant or a blocking stand (Figure 2) can help keep the animal from moving. The animal's body may also need to be restrained. The assistant should turn the head of the animal at a 30-degree angle to the side by holding the animal under its jaw to allow for easy access to the vein. ![]() Shaving an area allows for easier viewing of the vein and provides a clean area in order to minimize the chance of introducing dirt or bacteria into the vein with the needle.īlood sampling can be done with assistance or alone however, producers who are new at blood sampling will benefit from having assistance. Figure 2 shows an example of a sheep with a larger patch size for descriptive purposes. Use electric shears to shave a patch approximately 4 inches wide by 8 inches long. The company should specify the type of tube needed for the laboratory procedure to be done.Ĭorrectly position the animal for shearing. Red top tubes, or marble top tubes, are used for blood samples that need to clot and be centrifuged, so that the clear serum can be removed and tested. These tubes contain an anticoagulant that needs to be mixed with the blood once it has been drawn. Purple top tubes used for whole blood shipment are for DNA testing. The color of the stopper in the tube and the size of the tube are used for identification of the test being conducted. The syringe, needle, vacutainer, and surgical scrub can be acquired from a veterinarian or an animal health supply company.Ĭertain laboratories require that you ship the blood sample in specific vacutainers.
"It's cool that you have the dice who's six-sided, but what if you have a character who has a 20-sided dice?" he says. Redmalm adds that Zoink amassed "a lot of ideas" over the three or four years it has spent on Lost in Random, with many moments where the studio decided "OK, we'll save that for the second game." He's cautious not to spoil any potential specifics about what future Lost in Random games may entail, but Lyngeled seems so excited by their ideas he can't help but tease out one potential future. And if it goes well, I definitely want to see if we can do more things with it." I obviously have really high hopes for the first game to do well. Or that this could be that world we build multiple games on, and board games. "I'm a big fan of old games like Oddworld, and how they created a world, and I think this game could be that. "For this one it really felt like we were trying to create a universe that we could build more on," Lyngeled says. Lost in Random is a self-contained tale, but its world is vast, and sketched in with just the right ratio of detail to blank spaces. So if you put those three together, you've suddenly created a machine that actually kills the enemies really quickly by itself." Just one roll of the dice ![]() And then you can have another card that says when an enemy's crystal is shattered, they get hurt. "The cool thing about it is you can put the screaming creature here, then you can put a cannon over here that keeps shooting at the screaming creature, so that way you create this little machine that does it all the time. Head of development Klaus Lyngeled offers a teaser for a high-level strategy that combines several cards – including a creature whose shrieks shatter those crystalline spots I mentioned before – for a devastating effect. You aren't ever required to optimize your deck building strategy if you just prefer to throw in a bunch of heavy-hitting weapons and go to town, but you will feel like a smarty pants if you come up with a particularly good bit of card synergy. ![]() You get more cards as you play but your deck can only ever hold 15 at a time, so savvy players will put some time into considering what works best and where. Each item has limited uses, which means you'll return to the Dicemension several times throughout a fight to keep yourself kitted out. Unlike Hearthstone, you're not focused on laying out a line of lackeys to do the fighting for you – you're equipping yourself with magic items that let you personally attack with swords, bows, bombs, and so on. If you've ever played Hearthstone, the basics will feel familiar: each card can be played to instantly manifest some change in the battlefield, and each has a resource cost that limits how many you can use in one go. Either way, you'll be whisked away to the "Dicemension," a shadowy realm where all your enemies are stopped in their tracks and you can take as much time as you need to reposition and decide on your next move. Once he gets enough, Dicey will start pulling from a selection of magical cards he keeps stored in his, uh… head? Body? They're in there somewhere.Īnyway, the cards Dicey draws appear in the lower right corner of the screen, and you can play them one by one or wait until you have a full hand. Thankfully, each enemy has a crystalline weak spot that will burst into a bunch of glowing blue bits when struck, and Dicey can hoover up those bits to charge their dice pips. ![]() The old slingshot she inherited from her sister does about as much damage to robotic knights as you'd expect. Even doesn't stand much of a chance on her own. ![]() One handy feature is that the device automatically enters standby mode after 5 minutes of inactive use to save your battery. The Sony Reader PRS-T2 doesn't offer 3G, but it does have 802.11b/g/n support for connecting to your Wi-Fi network. While responsive, the buttons are both placed to the bottom left, which make them awkward for someone holding the device with a right hand. Sony offers front and back physical buttons below the screen. We also observed a distracting flicker on the PRS-T2 when opening new documents and Web pages. The Kindle and Nook e-readers respond to touch in a second or less. However, touching a button or opening a book on the Sony Reader PRS-T2 was sometimes followed by up to a six-second delay. The screen supports some gestures, such as swiping a finger to turn a page, and pinching fingers to zoom in and out of photos. The Sony Reader features an infrared touch screen similar to that found inside the Kindle Touch. While a stack of books looked detailed, a shot from The New York Times of a worker hanging off the Capitol Dome seemed fuzzy. Just as with the last version, we were disappointed by the inability to alter the space between the lines and the margins of the books.Ĭlose-up pictures looked clearer than those involving distance and perspective. Readers can chose from eight sizes and seven font types, including serif and sans serif options. Within a book, it was easy to alter the font's size and typeface, which was good since the default font was so small our eyes could barely make it out. However, we did notice some distracting ghosting when we flipped from one screen to the next. There was no glare when we read "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson in direct sunlight. In side-by-side testing, the screens of the three devices looked nearly identical. Even when we pressed one key at a time slowly, the Sony Reader had a hard time keeping up with our fingers.Ĭlick to EnlargeThe 6-inch E Ink Pearl display on the Sony Reader PRS-T2 has a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, which matches what's found on the Nook Simple Touch and Kindle Touch. The on-screen keyboard, however, could use a speed boost. Overall, the interface is clear and intuitive, and all the buttons were easy to press. Tapping Applications opens a screen of square icons for Public Library, Browser, Periodicals, All Notes, Dictionary, Handwriting, Text Memo, Pictures, Settings, Evernote Setup and Facebook Setup. You can sort the content on the shelves by date, title, author, file name or most recently read. Each bookshelf looks like it sounds, arranged in rows stacked on top of each other. ![]() We found it odd that there wasn't a section for periodicals in this menu. In Bookshelves, you'll find your device's content, which can be sorted by books, collections (which you create) and content you've bought through Sony or Evernote (if you've synced your account more on that later). Opening the Reader Store requires a Wi-Fi connection. Pressing with a finger or the stylus opens books or apps. Sony has thus eliminated the need to page over to a second home screen. Along the bottom now sit three rectangular icons: Bookshelves, Reader Store and Applications. Just as with the previous Sony Reader, the top third of the home screen presents the cover of the most recently read book, and the middle shows thumbnails for the three most recently added titles. Click to EnlargeShowing book cover thumbnails and large buttons, the simplified Sony Reader PRS-T2 interface is much more graphically appealing than the Nook and Kindle. Test me with "wait / wait / examine phobos / west / examine phobos / in / examine phobos". On the other hand, astronomy isn't all that practical." Instead of doing something to Phobos, say "Phobos orbits a mere 6000km above you, which is practically touching range for astronomy. Inside from the Court is the Heavy Water Swimming Pool. The Court and Balcony are in the great outdoors. The Martian Balcony is east of the Inner Court. Say "Phobos sets over the eastern horizon." Say "Phobos rises from the western horizon." Or for something a little slower-moving and with no after-image: Test me with "wait / wait / examine meteor / west / examine meteor / in / examine meteor". Instead of doing something to the meteor, say "The meteor is no longer visible, now nothing more than a memory." Inside from the Court is the Swimming Pool. The Spanish Balcony is east of the Inner Court. The game below begins at half past eleven, and one turn later, it's meteor time: Test me with "z / z / z / enter flying scotsman / z / z". Instead of entering the Flying Scotsman, say "Alas, the arrival is only to take on water, not to set down or pick up." Say "The Flying Scotsman inches away, with a squeal of released brakes, gathering speed invincibly until it disappears around the hill. Say "The Flying Scotsman pulls up at the platform, to a billow of steam and hammering." Now the Flying Scotsman is in the Station Train Stop ends when the time since Train Stop began is 3 minutes. Train Stop begins when the player is in the Station for the third turn. "The Flying Scotsman, fastest train in the world, is now at a dead standstill." "Eynforme Halt is a raised platform fringed with cowslip: a whistle-stop with no more than a signal and a water-tank." ![]() The single scene both starts and finishes. The following source is very short and simple, yet it already feels surprisingly interesting in play, because something is going on which the player does not control but must observe. See Flashbacks for more ways to move the player from one level of reality to another Space Patrol - Stranded on Jupiter inserts an interlude in which the player's possessions and clothes are switched for new ones and the player moved to a new location - and then put back where he started from. Scene changes are also announced with a pause and a new title, such as "Chapter 2: Abduction". Meteoric similarly brings a meteor into view at a certain time of day, showing off several implementations depending on whether or not the player is supposed to be able to refer to the meteor after it has gone.Įntrevaux constructs an organized system such that all scenes have their own lists of props and associated locations, and props are moved on and off automatically. Age of Steam brings a train on and off-stage as the plot requires. In a plot that takes place over multiple locations or has several distinct scenes, we may want to move the player or change the scenery around him. This little shop of horrors is so revered in the creepypasta community that an entire season of the pasta-inspired Channel Zero series used it as inspiration. And this submission is a subtle examination of how far people will go for internet clout. After all, r/nosleep is an online gathering for internet readership. ![]() One of the best things about scary stories written for an internet audience is that they tend to revolve around Black Mirror-esque topics like technology and its role in our society. Unless, of course, the author is posting to r/nosleep, because those souls have dreamt up some crazy shit. ![]() The horrors of war are sometimes more devastating than anything an author could summon from the depths of their imagination. My Student Submitted the Most Disturbing “Living History” Project I’ve Ever Seen. In fact, you might just skip this story if you ever think you’ll consider sleeping again. Speaking of another irrational fear caused by r/nosleep and creepypastas, this one brings you… bunk beds! Seriously, you’ll never want to sleep in a bunk bed again. This cleverly crafted tale is reminiscent of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Stepford Wives, only it’s a little more mysterious, a bit sicker, and more likely to make you sleep with a nightlight. It reads more like a diet testimony than a horror story. Most Amazing Weight Loss Treatment EVER!!!Īt first, this post seems like it was submitted to the wrong subreddit. There’s a guide to all three separate series here, thankfully. And three, it’s totally unique in that the author wrote three series by three separate Reddit accounts that are all interconnected by one moldy plot line. Two, it’s long - but the ending delivers. This series deserves serious credit for a few reasons. What could be more horrific than the ritualistic forced marriages between young girls and opportunistic older men held covertly in the US? This story. All short horror stories (sidenote: check out r/shortscarystories for the treasure trove) rely on a delicious, delightful, or disturbing twist. Oh, the joy, and in this case, the subsequent horror, of wordplay. The beauty of the Rake is that he can strike anywhere, at any time, throughout history. Most iconic supernatural beings, from the wendigo to Bigfoot to the Mothman, are local cryptids. This legendary monster conjured up by a twisted mind on the internet is perfect fodder for those late-night horror story swaps. And yet, it’s a good enough piece of writing that we’re willing to forgive. So in this case, describing a trip through literal hell kind of discards that mission. Unlike communities like r/writingprompts, the creepy quality behind r/nosleep is elevated by the assumption that everything is real. The whole pretense of r/nosleep is that posts are supposed to be written as though the user is actually living the events. ![]() It’s a classic that long-time r/nosleep readers may have forgotten. But this story takes some real twists, turns, and dramatic leaps. There’s nothing inherently alarming about some citrus and a run-of-the-mill grocery shopper, even if she’s suspiciously far from the produce aisle. Here’s the thing: a woman holding an orange shouldn’t be scary. A word to the wise: don’t read this after you’ve already spent hours trawling through other creepypasta, or else face the nagging fear that something about this story could come true. Psychosisįor anyone who has spent a day in a darkened room, scrolling through social media and diving into deep corners of the internet, this story will resonate with the inkling feeling that you should probably go outside. If you like Welcome to Night Vale, the creepy, yet somehow heartwarming, fictional podcast series, you’ll love “Tales from the Gas Station.” In the same vein of a number of surrealistic small town stories narrated by an amiable public servant, this series is a fantastical delight. So, I guess the horrifying conclusions at the end of this pasta are… somewhat in the realm of possibility. Sleep in and of is itself a horror hallmark, and it’s true that scientists don’t know why we sleep. This legendary creepypasta has inspired a legion of copycat stories that all hinge on the theme of medically-induced inability to fall asleep. |
