"Voice Of Thunder" ends the album with an eleven minute metal slab of dynamics and more a classic Strato era guitar sound. Clicking on any of the Studio Albums below will take you to the main album page for each release. Well done, Stratovarius doing what they do best. There's those triumphant keyboards on "Breakaway", at the start Timo shows his softer side, acoustic guitar and beautiful melody in the keys. "Glory Days" a Tolkki-ish riff and rhythm drive without sounding redundant like any past faster power metal songs in the cannon post Episode album. "World On Fire" is a good choice for a single as it kicks off the second half of the album keeping up with the energy lyrics giving something to think about. I really like the accenting keyboards too, very classic Strato in that great chorus like something from Dreamscape or Fourth Dimension. Epic keys/intro to six plus minutes "Frozen In Time" sets up for the song's singalong flow. "We Are Not Alone" hits punchy, guitars briefly drop out during the verses. Murder Fallen idol Hanged man Great winds Rides the mill Further into the vast Limits do not exist Five day pain. "Firefly" a catchy single and melody like "Dragons", and "Fantasy". Brave, try the meaning of loss I know your smile is deadly at this point Wherever you are I am not If you didnt know All the moments When I lose myself I would tell the world I guess I should know The limits of the world There are moments I find myself Not breathing at all 2. "Demand" one of those steadfast riff rockers in "Against The Wind" vein, drums and riff begins "Broken" as keys are fed in, not a traditional chorus section as keyboards segue out to the verse. Bassist Lauri Porra's bass more defined and heard in the mix. Kotipelto not singing as high as he used to. The music also is often more progressive, less predictable within a song. Guitarist Matias Kupiainen is not a Tolkki clone, he does keep with the Strato composition traditions, but guitar tone is heavier, see the title track. Singer Timo Kotipelto and Jens Johansson (keyboards) the only members left from the classic era 1995-2003. ![]() Survive is the 16th studio album from Finnish power metal giants Stratovarius, fifth one with the new lineup since guitarist Timo Tolkki left in 2008.

![]() When we were working on this set, we wanted to bring to life different moments from across the movies. Marcos Bessa, LEGO Designer commented: “The ‘Harry Potter’ movies ignite that feeling of magic within us all. The set will transport you through the journey from when Harry, Ron and Hermione first meet in ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, through to when Albus Severus Potter goes to Hogwarts in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’. Uncover iconic scenes and quotes from the movies that all link to the train or the platform as you build a magical LEGO Harry Potter world. This set features an impressive twenty LEGO minifigures inspired by four fan-favourite film moments, including the golden trio – Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and a never before seen before adult LEGO Harry Potter. The full train sits on a track-display-base and includes a turning lever to activate the wheels. ![]() Rich in details both inside and out, the model includes the steam engine, the coal car, the passenger car featuring light up bricks, and a spectacular replica of Platform 9 ¾, which can be attached in several different places.

Whereas the Moment artwork may be for the new generation Harry Potter fan, the Iconic artwork is for the old-timers, says Angie. Or if you look at Half-Blood Prince, you have Tom Riddle’s memory vial in the middle, as a little hidden gem.’ If you look closer, at the Sorting Hat, for example, you can see Harry’s glasses. ‘It’s looking at it for the fans who know what these objects are. ‘We love these pieces of art, they are different from anything we’ve ever done before,’ Angie said. Upon each cover, eagle-eyed fans will recognise this sequence of images as hugely seminal visual moments from each story, such as glossy stills of Slytherin’s locket, a smoking Goblet of Fire, and, of course, the Sorting Hat. In contrast, the ‘Iconic’ artwork will grace the new Blu-ray covers, and offers a much more abstract approach. It’s intended for new fans, but these elements are really what pulled at the heartstrings of lots of old fans as well.’ Iconic ‘A fresh way to look at it is we’ve included a vignette from each film, which highlights a beast or a creature. ![]() ‘You’ll see that there’s detail, and storyline elements from each film,’ Angie explained. We’re sure you will concur that Dobby deserves to be centre stage on the cover of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. In celebration of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film, Angie told us that the team were keen to give magical creatures centre stage.

If this sounds like something your cat may enjoy (and remember, not all cats are going to like leashes!) the first thing you’ll want to do is find a harness designed specifically for cats. Walk it Outĭid you know, you can also teach your cat to walk on a leash? Studies show walking your kitty on a leash is not only great for their physical health, but also for their mental health! Cats love to explore, and may sometimes get bored inside, so being able to safely go outside with you and explore the natural world around them is a win-win.

Leave about two feet between you and your cat.ĭecide on a short verbal cue like, “Tiger. ![]() We recommend you start training at a time of the day when your cat will be hungry. Should Tiger ever escape, you’ll have a much better shot at getting them to return if they are already trained to come to you when their name is called. Not only is it a rewarding experience when your pet learns this command, it can also be a lifesaving one. Once you and your kitty have a basic command or two under your belt, it’s a good idea to start recall training! This means training your cat to come when called. Patience, positive reinforcement and keeping it simple are great ways to ensure both you and your feline friend are having fun, bonding, and learning new tricks together! Total Recall Starting with basic commands also helps to keep you and your kitty from getting bored or frustrated… or giving up altogether. Before you know it, you will both be proud of your early accomplishments and motivated to go even further in the training! ![]() Start with basic commands your cat can learn quickly, like giving a high five or playing fetch. Set your cat up to succeed by keeping your expectations reasonable. Clicker training devices can help make learning faster and easier for your furry feline and can be found for just a few dollars at a local pet supply store or online. In addition to treats, another great tool is a clicker training device! It makes a simple clicking sound when pushed and uses sound to show your kitty when they have done something right! Just click the button right when Tiger completes a command, then immediately follow that with a favorite treat. Try to avoid using the food they eat every day… It’s much more motivating for them to know they are getting something extra special during their training time with you! Remember to keep the bites small, this way you can give them a little taste after each successful attempt without them getting too full or distracted. Freeze-dried chicken, fresh tuna or any favorite treat will work. Try motivating your feline friend with treats they really enjoy. So, for training purposes, your cat will be much happier and more relaxed if you train them right at home. While most dogs can be happy pretty much anywhere, cats are not typically big fans of the car, let alone new, loud places. If you’ve visited one of our clinics with your feline friend, you’ve probably gotten an earful all the way there! Most cats prefer staying in their own environment. ![]() It may come as a surprise, but the answer is a resounding yes! You can train cats of all ages to do tricks, respond to commands and even walk on a leash!

It is now much larger, differently shaped and walks on all fours, unlike its bipedal counterpart in Serious Sam. The Gnaar's design has radically been changed from the original game. The Kamikaze has returned to his original design, rather than the Serious Sam 2 design. New ones include the Khnum and Scrapjack (resembling the Hell Knight and Mancubus from Doom, respectively), as well as the cloned soldiers reminiscent of the Strogg from the Quake series. There are no puzzles, however the player must find keys, pull levers and find environmental anomalies to progress.Ĭlassic enemies such as the Beheaded Kamikaze, Beheaded Rocketeer and Kleer Skeleton return in the game. Some weapons such as the Lasergun and the Sniper Rifle and their respective ammunition pickups are in fact secret-only, and otherwise are not found in the levels normally. Additionally, the levels are full of secret areas, where health, armor, ammo and in some cases, weapons from later levels can be found, following the tradition of the previous games. In the style of old-fashioned first-person shooters, there is no regenerating health, instead there are health and armor power-ups scattered throughout the levels that the player must pick up. The signature close-combat weapons from the first game, the knife and chainsaw, have been replaced with a sledgehammer with three modes of attack (vertical strike, 180 turn and full 360 turn). There are 13 weapons in total, five of which have a manual reload. The player can carry an unlimited number of weapons, including a minigun, rocket launcher, assault rifle and a cannon. There are also a larger number of enemies that can attack the player from a distance. However Serious Sam 3 has more closed environments than its predecessors, particularly in the early levels. Like previous titles in the series, Serious Sam 3: BFE involves fighting against many hordes of enemies in wide-open environments.

The game itself, however, was released one day after Valve opened the beta branch for " Steam for Linux", namely 20 December 2012. The Linux version of the game started being worked on after a high number of requests, where the first Linux-related update was the porting of the game's dedicated server. The OS X support for the game followed shortly after and was released on 23 April 2012. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows on 22 November 2011. The game features a 16-player online, as well as 4-player splitscreen co-op campaign mode. The game takes place in 22nd-century Egypt, during Mental's invasion on Earth, as implied in The First Encounter.

Shortly after his arrival there, he was made studio guitarist for the label's Nashville sessions, and by 1950 he was firmly anchored in the country music capital, as a regular on Grand Ole Opry.Īccording to one account, his first RCA hit was a rendition of "Mr. By the late 1940s, he was recording in Nashville for RCA.

The fiddle that he took up as a young child was seen in part as a refuge and shelter from the harshness of his life. It was a remarkable climb to fame, honor and homage for a shy, asthma-afflicted child who was born in the hamlet of Luttrell, Tenn., and grew up in Appalachian poverty. There is a "Chet Atkins Place" on Nashville's Music Row. He received honors four times in the Playboy jazz poll and was named the Country Music Association's Musician of the Year nine times.

In Git, new files aren’t versioned by default. Time to roll up your sleeves and learn how to commit changes in Git. To send changes to a remote repository, you can use git push. In those systems, committing involves talking to the server. Git is a decentralized version control system, unlike Subversion or TFVC. How does committing in Git compare with similar operations in systems like Subversion or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)? The subject line should be limited to 50 characters. In messages that need a separate body, they should be separated by a blank line. ![]() The message should be in the imperative mode (so, “Add button” instead of “Added button”). There are conventions for writing good commit messages, and covering them in-depth would be out of the scope for this post. Explaining how the change was made in detail isn’t necessary, since we can see the difference. What’s a Good Git Commit Message?Ī good commit message explains what the change is and why it matters. ![]() It’s also common to include metadata in the commit message-for instance, include ids to associate the commit to a certain issue on your project management or bug-tracking software. Git commit messages can be just a single line, or they can have a summary followed by a more detailed body, depending on the change. The goal of the message is to explain the reason behind the change. What Are Commit Messages?Įach git commit must have an associated commit message. The revision history of the repository emerges from this relationship. Also, each commit-except the first one, called root commit-references one or more parents. Each commit has an identifier so you can get back to it. So, what’s a commit-the noun type-in Git?Ī commit represents a “safe point” in a project’s history. After you make some changes to your project, you commit those changes. In Git, “commit” is both a verb and a noun. Let’s make sure we’re on the same page regarding some fundamental topics related to the git commit command. We’ll also assume at least some familiarity with the command line. If that’s not the case, start by downloading and installing it. Throughout the post, we’ll assume you have Git installed on your system. In this post, we’ll offer a detailed guide to git commit, explaining many of its use cases and specialized options, and even when you should commit. So, understanding what a commit really is and how to use the command is crucial for mastering Git. After all, committing your work is the whole reason behind using a versioning tool. ![]() If we had to elect the most important command in Git, I’d vote for git commit. Kleptomania, precision jumping and seeing off any minion that gets in your way in the overall pursuit of these coveted Power Stars. On the other hand, old hands have the advantage of actually being able to spot the new additions and knowing the relevance of Yoshi's abilities over, say, Mario's.īut it doesn't really matter a jot whether you've played it before or not, as the drill is much the same as you'd expect from any platform game of this nature. The presence of three new characters opens up the possibilities somewhat and the prospect will have owners of the original wide-eyed with excitement, presenting entirely new ways to play the game, with all new stars and new abilities meaning that it's much more than a straight run through of a much-loved favourite, which is how so many handheld ports - particularly Mario ones - tend to pan out. We're reliably informed there are around 150 of these stars, many of which have been specifically inserted into the existing levels and are only possible to obtain using specific characters. No matter, the focus of the game remains completely intact, with the essence based around an ongoing quest to retrieve seven or more stars from each of the castle's many courses, each accessible via doors that require a set number of stars to gain admission. It's slightly odd that you start off as Yoshi, but we're guessing that Ninty wanted to show off some of the new stuff from the word go - a fact that will be somewhat lost on those of us coming to it fresh. Not only that, he's reinvented history and locked Mario, Luigi and Wario in as well, leaving the big-nosed Yoshi to retrieve these Stars and begin the awesome task of freeing his chums. But as usual the whole thing goes tits up when the perennially evil Bowser manages to steal the Power Stars that apparently guard the castle and lock Peach into the walls and paintings of the castle (he's a clever lumbering sod, that Bowser). Somewhat ludicrously, the simpering Princess Peach has baked a cake and invited Mario to the Mushroom Castle to sample her fine delicacy (now accompanied by 'party crashers' Yoshi, Luigi and Wario). Like most platformers it hardly needs much of an introduction. Having played near enough every 3D platform of the last seven/eight years, it's an astonishing oversight, but the DS version finally allows this reviewer to atone for such enforced errors. More committed types maybe even had a PC as well, but shelling out £50 or more for N64 games just wasn't on the menu for many of us. Most gamers back in the day plumped for a PlayStation (this reviewer for one), bought Tomb Raider and got on the 3D gravy train that way. And we're not talking about the rather contentious and not altogether satisfying control system for a game that was never designed to use this input, but more the remarkable array of mini-games that serve not only as a mini-glimpse into the future of handheld games, but help drag you through one of the best platform games ever made too.Īlthough everyone talks about SM64 in hushed tones, like it's the great god of 3D platforming games, there are plenty of people who've never played it properly. The genius move in this instance is to use SM64 as something of a Trojan Horse to showcase the touch-screen capabilities of the DS. Yet, for all our spleen venting fury, here we are getting excited over a blatant, cynical rehash of an eight year-old platform game, released to shift Nintendo's first truly 3D-capable handheld, the chunky, but loveable DS. Those beliefs that game developers and console manufacturers can invent new and exciting ways of entertaining us are all too regularly chipped away by the mass production ethos, and the constant recycling of old ideas on an annual basis, until we explode with righteous indignation at the cynical profiteering nature of certain corporate entities with both eyes, hands and feet, hopefully nailed painfully, to the bottom line. And yet, 22 years after our first encounter with the tubby moustachioed plumber Nintendo is still capable of flushing out cynicism, eradicating boredom and making us believe in the possibilities of gaming again. The transition from a fanatical comic reading pre-teen youth hung up on Dennis The Menace and Bananaman to hopelessly addicted Crash-reading computer gaming aficionado was all but assured from the moment Donkey Kong took its arcade bow.
