The album appears several times in the 2000 film High Fidelity. "Don't Never Leave Me" was re-recorded and released as "Don't You Ever Leave Me" on Hanoi Rocks' fifth album Two Steps from the Move. "Walking With My Angel" is a cover of a song from 1961 by Bobby Vee. The biggest hit of the album was "Tragedy". The album was originally going to be titled Some Like It Hot or Some Like It Cut, but Jim Pembroke suggested the name Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks, which the band ultimately chose. Also Michael Monroe says that he can't listen to his singing on the first Hanoi-album, as his voice wasn't very good yet. Even though the album is regarded by many as good, Andy McCoy commented in the December, 1981 issue of Soundi that Johansson ruined many of the songs. While the album was produced by Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe under the name "The Muddy Twins" (inspired by "The Glimmer Twins"), the album was recorded by Swedish Seppo Johansson, who worked at the studio.

This Update will only add support for ray-traced shadows. Halo Infinite Season 2 has arrived, and with it comes new maps, new game modes, new events, and themed events. Open Windows Update and look for updates, update everything, including optional updates. Lastly, here is a video that showcases Halo Infinite’s Ray Tracing Update. 343 Industries is hiring a senior producer for an unannounced Halo game within its. Below you can also find their complete changelog. Halo: Infinite isn't finished yet, but that hasn't stopped 343i from planning the next project. ![]() It’s available to everyone, and, even better, it runs in real-time. This is the holy grail of computer graphics. The company has been constantly updating the game’s Steam database, so there is definitely something going on there too.Īnyway, until 343 Industries releases this RT Update, you can go ahead and download the new AMD drivers from here. The arrival of the RTX graphics cards is hailed as the dawn of a new era. FromSoftware may also release the promised Ray Tracing Patch for Elden Ring this month. Halo Infinite is not the only triple-A game that will soon receive Ray Tracing support. Going into more details, the new driver resolves an intermittent timeout in Halo Infinite in certain scenes with ray tracing enabled. One user, ultracasio, has created a ReShade preset called Halo Reach RTX that simulates ray tracing, bringing Halo: Reach to life in gorgeous new ways. Not only does the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 23.3.1 driver add support for Halo: Infinite’s Ray Tracing Update, but it also fixes a particular bug with it. After all, AMD has just released a new driver for its graphics cards that specifically adds support for this Update. Today 343 Industries confirmed Halo sequels are over. It appears that the Ray Tracing Update for Halo Infinite is just around the corner, and will release really really soon. Its a platform that will host the next 10 years of the Halo franchise. ![]() It’s done this once before I few months back, and there was an update that fixed it and I had no more issues until recently. And when it does let me in, I know I have a limited amount of time before it does it again. But I’m more concerned with the fact that I literally can’t get messenger to open unless I shut my phone off and on three or four times in a row. I try to go to settings to allow access, but the app isn’t asking for permission in my settings. And now when I do get into it, if it actually allows me to stay on the app, it no longer allows me access to my photos. I click the app to open it, it tries to open, then immediately shuts down. If I’m lucky I can get it to work enough for me to send maybe one message before it starts doing the same thing. All the recent updates for a while On this app have just been making this app worse and worse and it has so many bugs and glitches it’s not even funny this app has gone to complete garbage.įor the past three days messenger has literally been kicking me from the app nonstop. Some Messenger features may not be available in your country or region.Įver since the last update the calls have been messing up bad when I try to call someone it says I’m calling myself and keeps ringing and ringing for so long I have to turn my phone off completely to get it to stop on top of that messenger it self as been messing up my data it will turn my data off out of nowhere or it won’t even recognize I have data on at all it just keeps saying “ no Internet connection” when I have full bars of LTE and even more on that note calls will randomly end or it will only end on me or said persons end but never showed on the other persons end and the whole time you think you’re on call you really not video length is way too short my friends can’t even send me videos without having to crop them into separate parts and same for me I keep getting kicked out of messenger almost on a daily basis nowadays and sometimes it keeps saying that my information is wrong when I never change my login information and don’t get me started on how many times it says “unable to login” over and over again on a daily basis and on top of the fact and stuff it has very bad security measures if you get hacked or so on.

When first opened, the program offers to edit your presets for a common usage of the software, and you'll be ready to go. If you don't know what all the settings are about, there's no need in the world to ever place you finger on them. Though it allows multiple settings for video quality, source of sound and so on, it works out of the box. What first struck me about iShowU is the simplicity. The possibilities are endless, and if you choose to use the iShowU software from shinywhitebox, you'll only be paying 20 US dollars for it. You can show someone who's far away what's happening on your desktop, record tutorials, promote webpages, record YouTube videos (I don't think this is legal, but you can do it). The benefits of having the ability of video recording your screen activity can be proven in numerous ways. Why describe some error over the phone for half an hour to a support engineer (with a limited probability he will really understand what's driving you crazy.), when you could just record the whole abnormal behavior that interferes with your work, along with your comments as the audio background of the video? And what if you could do all this is less than a minute? Video capturing enables you to do lots of things that were just not possible before. Considering there are so many screen capturing utilities now available, why is video capturing ability so important? Well, it's very important. The software I'll be reviewing today is called iShowU and it is a tool that creates various types of screen captures, including video captures. Obviously, if images are far better describers of surrounding realities, videos are better still. But if a simple image is so worthy, how about a large set of images serialized one after another in chronological order, displayed in quick steps (normal people would call this a video, but not me, I wanted to emphasize how many words can be wasted when the information is not delivered in the right form). A simple image provides the viewer with so much information, and the information is accurate and palpable. All you have to do is hit Record and you'll have a nice little video on your desktop in no timeĪn image is said to worth a thousand words. If you don't want to customize anything, it' ll work straight out of the tin. Simple - iShowU is designed specifically to be easy to use.When you start moving the mouse around (and the capture rectangle follow it) then it'll use a faster frame rate so that the motion looks smooth. Custom frame rates - When there' s not much going on (i.e: you're not moving the mouse, just speaking) iShowU will capture at a lesser frame rate. ![]() In addition, you can specify the quality of the video to your liking. iShowU compresses audio using AAC, and video using whatever method you think it appropriate (it defaults to H264).
![]() ![]() This keepsake journal contains 366 unprompted daily spreads with five entries per day to document your prayers over five years. These beautiful journals were designed to help you remember the faithfulness of God as you journal your prayers. One Thing I Ask is a 5-year prayer journal dreamt up and designed by Hosanna Revival. Note: Unfortunately, we do not currently offer handmade leather Bible cases that fit our Study Bibles. With beautiful full-color maps, charts, articles and more, this study Bible has been designed to help you understand the Bible in a deeper way, and to help you hear and know God as he has revealed himself to us in the Scriptures. Nearly a hundred men and women from nine different countries contributed to this incredible work, and the result is nothing less than amazing. The front cover of our very first leather-like ESV Study Bible features pressed floral artwork, and the back cover displays Joshua 1:8, which says, “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night.”įor many years, the ESV Study Bible has been a priceless resource for men and women all over the world. The inspiration for this beautiful leather-like Bible comes from the beautiful city of Aurora, Colorado, nicknamed “The Gateway to the Rockies.” Aurora is surrounded by large meadows filled with gorgeous flowers with the Rocky Mountains looming large in the background. Format: Leather-like, softcover with our original Hosanna Revival typeset Note: This Bible fits the "Single Column" size of our handmade leather Bible cases. ![]() We are so excited to add the New Living Translation (NLT) to the Hosanna Revival lineup and we pray this Bible will prove to be a priceless and precious tool as you seek to know God through his perfect Word. The front cover features a small wildflower bouquet pressed design, while the back features a beloved verse: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). The gorgeous interior was custom-designed by Hosanna Revival to create an immersive experience as you read and study God’s Word. This all-new design from Hosanna Revival features lined margins for journaling as you read, writing prayers, or jotting down sermon notes. The beaches of Marlo are a mix of rocky banks and sandy shores overlooking the Tasman Sea, creating a breathtaking view-a perfect place to quiet your soul and meditate on the goodness of God. The dreamy shores of Marlo, an Australian beach town inspired the cover of this beautiful, soft leather-like Bible. Format: cloth-over-board, hardcover with custom Hosanna Revival typeset We pray that this Bible will be just that-a light to those who sit in darkness that they might be guided to a path of peace! The boldness of the flowers arrayed against the light background are a reminder of the tenderness of our God who so carefully adorns the flowers and gives light to those who are in darkness. The back of this Bible features Luke 1:78-79, a reminder of God’s tender mercy and light. This Bible marries the beauty of these elements together to create an immersive artistic experience. The breathtaking architecture in Madrid is home to a rich artistic culture and many famous pieces of art. ![]() The rose garden was added to the “parque retiro” by a former mayor and now boasts of over 4,000 roses. This jewel-toned Bible was inspired by the beautiful contrast between the stunning rose garden in the “parque retiro” and the white buildings along the streets of Madrid, Spain. Format: Leather-Like softcover with custom Hosanna Revival typeset In contrast to the withering and wilting that will inevitably happen to even the most beautiful of flowers, the Word of God remains alive and fresh and will stand regardless of time or tragedy. The untamed beauty of these wildflowers crouched among the blades of grass in Santa Elena inspired the bold design and Scripture on this Bible: “The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8). Historically, farmers in Santa Elena journeyed down from the mountains with their backs loaded with flowers ready to sell in the nearby town in exchange for provisions. Colombia’s “village of flowers,” Santa Elena- where wildflowers grow high on the mountain tops-was the inspiration for this simply beautiful leather-like Bible. ![]() Our professionally trained technicians will do a thorough system check before cleaning, to make sure they take the best course of action for your particular system.

It's worth it because you can play it and resell it, but don't have as high of expectations that I did.When players think of the Bomberman games, they probably imagine a cute little cartoon guy running around a playfully designed maze. The next one almost certainly has to segway into "A New Hope" They may have wasted a large chunk of it with this game. The time period that they are dealing with is the only time period in the Star Wars universe where they really have an opportunity to do some creative story-telling. One reason why it is so disappointing is because of how much potential there is for this to be an amazing franchise of games. Being a huge SW fan, I enjoyed the game but it was disappointing. The cinematics are great and the story is good, but it is not long enough and it doesn't answer the main question: Is Starkiller really Starkiller? Makes it seem a little pointless. ![]() You are left feeling like Lucasarts pulled a fast one on you (no pun intended). Then of course you go back and fight Vader again to see the other ending. Before you know it (that is after an unnecessarily long and boring platform session) you are fighting Darth Vader and thinking, "wait, there is NO WAY this is the end of the game!" But after a long, boring, and EASY confrontation with Vader you get to choose the light or dark side ending. More in a "this is a ridiculous pain in the you-know-what way." And sometimes it can be very difficult, but not in a fun and challenging way. You spend most of the time going from room to room or platforming around fighting barrages of identical enemies. The Gorog is by far the highlight of the game. For the most part, the boss fights are long and tedious, not fun and challenging. You're fighting the same enemies over and over and over again. You never encounter any different enemies than you do in the first two levels. This is going to be awesome."īut then you spend the remainder of this VERY short game waiting for it to get better. You destroy a bunch of Stormtroopers, so me walkers, a couple other missile launching walkers and your like, "All right, here we go. Using the Force to grab Tie-Fighters from the sky and hurl them or shatter them to pieces is great. I felt very excited to be controlling this character again. When you first start the game it's great. But there were far more things that I was unhappy about. Essentially it is the exact same game, just more of it. Unfortunately Unleashed II does not address any of the flaws that plagued the first game. Despite all the issues, the original Force Unleashed was a great game in my opinion. I give this an average rating only because it's Star Wars, the graphics are great, and because like the first game, it does make you feel like you are a powerful dark Jedi "unleashing" the Force. Travel to familiar and new worlds as you attempt to elude Darth Vader's pursuit and connect with individuals from Starkiller's past. Players can collect lightsaber crystals as in the first game, adding new powers, combos, and techniques to their character as they progress.Īn assortment of new costumes is also available, and players can hone their skills in all-new challenge levels. An enhanced targeting system allows for more precise control, and a new fury state has Starkiller temporarily increasing his ability to cause destruction and mayhem. Starkiller's improved skills allow him to wield two lightsabers simultaneously and perform new Force techniques, such as the "mind trick," which turns enemies into allies. Gameplay once again takes place from a third-person perspective, with Starkiller using a combination of Force powers and lightsaber techniques to defeat foes across multiple environments. Yet Starkiller's former master, Darth Vader, has other designs, seeking the powerful protagonist to further his plans for overthrowing the Emperor. Continuing the events chronicled in 2008's game, Force Unleashed II has the embittered antihero on a quest to reunite with Juno Eclipse, who is now a key asset to the Rebel Alliance in its quest to dismantle the Galactic Empire. ![]()

Singles are programmed byte sequential, but pairs are programmed even bytes in first ROM and odd bytes in second ROM. ![]() Portable Plus reads software drawer ROMs as 16-bits wide, whether the ROMs are singles or pairs. This allows ROMBO to select the upper and lower 64KB blocks during programming. To program on the ROMBO, two jumpers are removed from the module, and a 5-pin cable connects the jumper pins to a personality module on the ROMBO. 27C1024 (128KB) EPROMS are 32-pin packages, so the Personalized Software custom EPROM module mounts a 32-pin PLCC package on a PCB adapter to 28 pins. I will also try to duplicate some 128KB ROMs onto the custom 128KB EPROMS. I bought a generic USB programmer that I will use to duplicate some 27C512 (64KB) EPROMs. ![]() I contacted Hal Goldstein, but he was unable to find a copy in his archives. I have the manual and some custom 128KB EPROM modules, but I lost the software. I own a ROMBO EPROM programmer from Personalized Software. I will get back to that in an upcoming post. Good suggestion, although to me that's a slightly different thing. Posted in Google, Reviews/tests, Technology I do urge you to test these out maybe one or several of them are spot on for you.Īre you already using any of the above, or some other service that you would like to tip me about? Let me know! So now I use Rojo and another similar service that I will tell you more about another day. One of the reasons for that was the updating frequency, the other services can lag behind up to half a day I want my information instantly! □ I didn’t really find any service that was perfect, but out of these I have to say that Rojo is my pick. Overall, it does seem just a tad slow, though. Unfortunately, expanded blocks in the Feeds tag view doesn’t seem to be consistent/stable when it comes to that, but otherwise it works fine. Rojo has also taken a little different approach with tagging posts, something I really like and it makes it very easy to find mine and other people’s posts for a certain topic.Īfter that you have a number of ways to view your feeds, and the different options you make should stick. Rojoįirst, I love Rojo’s front page with the Most Read Stories and Recently Tagged Stories, it’s a great and simple way to see what’s talked about right now. Google Reader definitely has potential in my eyes, though. I would really like to see a way to check posts feed by feed without losing so much space of the web page. But, as soon as you click the Your Subscriptions link, it takes up the entire top part of the web page. It also has support for keyboard shortcuts, of which I’m a real aficionado. Google Reader has a default layout which is very sparse but good, and it displays only the latest updated posts. The thing with NewsGator, though, is that the whole feed disappears from the left hand navigation, if it doesn’t contain any unread posts. It implements the same things with removing read posts from the default view and having Clippings for favorites. NewsGator is very similar to Bloglines but with a slightly more appealing layout. An alternative to this is to use Clippings to save your favorite posts, but that’s not as interesting to me. It is possible to retrieve them again, but that requires extra steps. However, one thing that bothers me is that the read feeds disappear from the default view when I click on a feed. Bloglines, as well as all the other services have that indication. ![]() My preferred usage is to keep my read and unread posts together in the order they were posted by the author, together with an indication in the navigation of how many unread posts there are in that specific feed. ![]() I don’t like the layout using frames, although I really have to give them credit for their excellent PDA version (the only serviced I’ve had the opportunity to test on a PDA). My impressions were: Bloglinesįrom what I gathered, Bloglines seems to be the most popular service online and generally I think it’s ok to use, no more, no less. Then you can just move your feeds from service to service and save them in a file for later reference, instead of entering all the feeds over and over again.ĭon’t regard this as a professional review but rather just as a regular computer user testing them out. The important thing to think of when using these kinds of services is that they should support importing and exporting of OPML files. ![]() My conclusion was that the four that seemed most popular were: So, deciding which ones to test, amongst other sources, I turned to the statistics for this web site to see what the people who are subscribing to my feeds are using. If you don’t know what a feed is, read Wikipedia’s Web feed definition. Part of that has been finding a service to follow all the feeds I subscribe to. General goodwill.Online feed readers reviewed Published on Thursday, January 12, 2006Īs of lately, I’ve been trying to move my program/service usage online more and more, to make it accessible from any computer and also not to lose information in case of a computer crash. ![]() How much does this service cost and what methods of payment are accepted?
