In the “Weekly” tab of the Quests page, you can find a slew of limited-time missions that provide a ton of bonus XP. One of these quests, which is found near the bottom of the page in the “Week 4” category, provides the following challenge: “Knock down Timber Pines with a Ripsaw Launcher.” Players have to chop down five of these trees with this special weapon, which sounds easy enough....
That’s ten years of crimble-crumble, humble bumbling, manic misunderstandings, and more lovely bits of squirrel than you could shake a dead fox at. For thirty-seven Friday nights across six glorious seasons the Goodman family – shirtless dad, Martin (Paul Ritter); long-suffering but ever hopeful mum, Jackie (Tamsin Greig), and their visiting prank-wanker sons Adam (Simon Bird) and Jonny (Tom Rosenthal) – served up a banquet of laughs to a hungry nation, ably assisted by chronically persistent, reality-adjacent next-door-neighbour, Jim (Mark Heap) and his faithful dog, Wilson, and a host of other regulars and monstrously memorable one-offs besides....
Consider yourself a customer and a sales rep calling and pouring in your ears with stats and product information. How would you react? More likely, you will tell that you will take a look at the product’s website. A good sales lead will go out of your hand due to the lack of strategy. Here, if the sales agent followed the stats-based sales storytelling, the outcome would have been different....
But it’s an uphill battle for something like Fullmetal Alchemist, especially when the property in question is such a beloved series. Fullmetal Alchemist (and Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood) is considered by many to be one of the best anime of all time. Fumihiko Sori’s film adaptation isn’t a complete success, but there are moments where the movie is pure magic. Sori taps into the spirit and wondrous feeling of the anime and it’s clear that he is a fan of the source material, which is paramount for a project of this nature....
“This is an exciting day at GameStop,” says GameStop CEO, George Sherman. “Since joining the company last April, we have been on a mission to evolve our strategy to take advantage of our undisputed leadership position in gaming.” Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, also weighed in on the deal by noting that “GameStop has been a strong go-to-market partner for our gaming products” and that Microsoft is “excited about continuing and evolving that relationship for the launch of the Xbox Series X|S....
As a developer, you would have across such situations multiple times where you would have wanted to roll back to one of your previous commits but not sure how to do that. And even if you know the Git commands like reset, revert, rebase, you are not aware of the differences between them. So let’s get started and understand what git reset, revert and rebase are. Git Reset Git reset is a complex command, and it is used to undo the changes....
Although GitOps and DevOps are crisscrossing, people are often confused between them. But the most important thing to remember is that GitOps is linked to a specific tool, i.e., Git. It is a set of practices born out of the requirement for fast innovation and operations, allowing developers to work more on IT-related tasks and generate better results. On the other hand, DevOps is a whole new concept that is a mixture of development, operations, use of tools, and culture that allow organizations to improve and develop products faster....
Glass has arrived and with it comes the resolution to a 19-year-old story, bringing to a close auteur M. Night Shyamalan‘s epic on the birth, life, and death of superheroes. Most importantly, Glass answers many of our most burning questions about the saga’s main characters: What did David Dunn (Bruce Willis) do with his newfound power after the credits rolled in Unbreakable? Where did Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) spend his days after that shocking twist?...
Some of the popular offerings from Google would include TensorFlow and Google Colab. To go a step further, tools like Cloud AI, Cloud AutoML, BigQueryML were also introduced to the Google Cloud Platform to make things easy for data scientists and machine learning engineers. Considering an arsenal of AI tools available, it is often a process that involves going back and forth to analyze data, train models, deploy to production, and monitor them....
The comedic horror thriller was such a surprise success that Blumhouse Productions, the company behind this and many other genre hits, immediately fast-tracked a sequel called Happy Death Day 2U. Directed again by Christopher Landon (who also wrote the script) and featuring the return of Rothe and fellow cast members Israel Broussard, Ruby Modine, Phi Vu and others, Happy Death Day 2U takes the previously unexplained time loop of the first film and puts a sci-fi spin on it that involves parallel universes and more ethical and personal choices for Tree to unsnarl....
HBO Max’s list of releases for April 2022 features three hotly anticipated seasons of television. The Flight Attendant, which helped launch HBO Max as a viable spot for good dramedy in 2020, premieres its second season on April 21. That will be followed by another go-around for the sci-fi comedy Made for Love on April 28. Of course, the big ticket item this month is something that HBO Max inherited from its cable cousin....
The original Hellraiser (1987), written and directed by Clive Barker, is forever a classic horror hall-of-famer. It centers around a mysterious puzzle box that, when used, summons the Cenobites— a sadistic group of hell dwellers who take pleasure in torturing their unfortunate summoner for eternity. This new Hellraiser film will be the 11th installment of the franchise. “I think a lot of things are going to hit just a little bit different,” says Bruckner....
So it’s unsurprising to spot countless clever grownup references to classic TV and films dotted throughout Hey Duggee’s four series, from the subtle to the downright uncanny. In fact, it becomes rather addictive to look out for them, so we’ve listed a few of the best ones here: Apocalypse Now and The African Queen (The River Badge) In The River Badge, the Squirrels help Duggee deliver a package at the other end of the river, travelling by boat....
In His Dark Materials season two opener ‘The City of Magpies’, Lyra and Will find themselves in a new land. Cittàgazze is deserted but for a group of children left to fend for themselves after their parents came under attack. Some adults fled the city but others were caught by the Spectres, who drained them of the spark of life and turned them into blank-faced automatons, like the man Lyra and sees numbly and absently refilling a water jug in a city square....
“Now is the winter of our discontent.” Those are the first words in William Shakespeare’s Richard III, the Bard’s most infamous “history” play and a continued source of inspiration for everything from House of Cards to Game of Thrones. Aye, George R.R. Martin’s beloved “A Song of Ice and Fire” text, and the HBO series it spawned, are obsessed with Richard, both as the Shakespearean fiend who basked at his own wickedness and in the historical personage that many students of history, including Martin, think got a raw deal....
Films like Batman Begins and Constantine brought more adult stories from the comics to the big screen prior to 300, but they didn’t look like comics come to life like 300 did. The imagery bears an uncanny resemblance to Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s artwork in the original book, and at times it’s essentially a panel-by-panel recreation of the graphic novel. In 2007, the film married beauty and brutality in a way audiences hadn’t quite seen before....
That leads to the biggest difference between the Marvel Animated Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When it came to the latter, the real beginning came from the Avengers brand name. Nick Fury appearing at the end of Iron Man to discuss the Avengers Initiative was a sign of what these movies were promising while the first Avengers movie was not only a finish line to the movies before it, but it was also the moment that spring-boarded Marvel’s film universe into the stratosphere....
Much of the pre-release hype for the new Marvel series Loki has centered around the idea that Loki himself — after using the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame to escape punishment for the events of The Avengers and vaulting himself into a whole new timeline — would skip through history in his new solo show. Presumably he would find himself in different historical periods, perhaps even influencing world events in ways we can’t begin to imagine....
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is the title that this most intriguing of projects will brandish. The feature, a studio collaboration between New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation, will see veteran anime director Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045, Cyborg 009: Call of Justice) tackle the Tolkien-crafted story of Helm Hammerhand himself. The King of Rohan, who lived during Middle-earth’s Third Age from the year 2691 to 2759, was portrayed as a mythical figure whose wartime deeds still inspired the kingdom even centuries later, in the year 3019, when the Battle of Helm’s Deep took place....
Control studio Remedy Entertainment recently asked how exactly Capcom’s latest superstar stands up against The Former, while Bandai Namco claimed it did the “tall lady” first. Meanwhile, Xbox humbly confirmed that Lady Dimitrescu is taller than the Series X fridge, and developer Ninja Theory wondered whether it should make some tweaks to Senua’s height for Hellblade II. In short, the internet’s beloved “Vampire Lady” has made her way into every corner of the internet at this point, short of donning a Mario hat and taking on Nintendo’s finest in Smash (although I bet someone’s making that meme as we speak)....
