Camera Screw: From three variants, one selected by default - "smart camera" - is rather wonky.The HD version also features the modified van from Left 4 Dead's Crash Course campaign.The military supercar previously appeared as one of the drivable vehicles in DIPRIP'', a car-based multiplayer shooter using the Source Engine, also made by EXOR studios.Boring, but Practical: The bus isn't fast, but its armor and ramming ratings are as good as the Supercar's, and its capacity is more than enough to rescue all the survivors in any level in one go.Big Damn Heroes: Your main objective in each mission is to rescue a certain number of survivors holed up in different areas of the city.The city bus might also count, once upgraded. Big Badass Rig: The HD edition's Left 4 Dead van can attain this status, if it cannot be said to have it period.Badass Driver: Your character obviously becomes this as the zombie corpses start piling up.It's more useful in the other modes, though in Blood Race it comes at a high base cost. Awesome, but Impractical: The military supercar, acquired late in the story mode, has excellent ratings in all three areas, but is less useful in rescue missions since it can only carry four survivors- a lot less then you'll need to rescue at that point in the game.Destroying zombie spawners causes a huge explosion that takes out any nearby zombies, but unlike fat zombie explosions it won't harm the player.Points where you need to rescue civilians will have the civilians armed and picking off zombies (albeit at a rate of about one zombie every few seconds) to make it easier to take out the last remaining stragglers surrounding the building.Every mission objective point has at least one weapon and health pickup nearby.Definitely an acceptable break from reality.

Guess I'll go run to 7-11)Īlso.you're not wrong. John Hillstrand is a captain of the fishing vessel Time Bandit of the. Oh boy, they're breaking out the books again. Fishing Vessel Time BanditThen, in 2011, just a year after Harris passing. On forums this mentality isn't really detrimental to anything but I have seen it bring many a session to a grinding and often fun killing halt (e.g. Just want to add the perspective that it is unnecessary. Also just to be clear I'm not condemning the exercise as-is. It doesn't need to be consistent with Player Character action economy or ability interactions because it is none of those. He uses Multiattack, which is fully outlined in the description. No extra explanation, exploration, or extrapolation needed. He has exactly 0 Class (haha get it?) Levels. It is a "monster" statblock from the "Monster Manual". I mean.there is a really easy way around this that doesn't require all the rules lawyer-ey hoop-jumping. Ie, start of the turn they are dual wielding dagger and scimitar, they throw one dagger, then use TWF or Extra Attack to throw another - and as part of that attack they draw a new dagger using Object Interaction. It's likely that they have essentially Extra Attack and are using TWF, but they don't have Dual Wielder so they can only draw 1 dagger per turn. If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative. When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you're holding in the other hand. Note that two weapon fighting works whether or not you make melee attacks or thrown: To make 3 attacks you need to have Extra Attack 2, or Extra Attack 1 + Two Weapon Fighting. It's just a miltiattack 3 for dual wield and miltiattack 2 for throwing two daggers. The stat block simply didn't complicate this mob, and just gave it a multiattack of three instead of "Miltiattack two with scimitar and/or dagger and/or dagger anged attack and a bonus action of one off-hand dagger attack but you don't add a bonus to that dmg." As of this writing, there has been no update issued regarding Katungin's condition.Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures Katungin was lifted onto a helicopter in the middle of an arctic storm, another reminder of just how dangerous the job can turn in a split second. ![]() Coast Guard, the waters and the weather only got worse. Katungin was moved inside, and Captain Rip Carlton quickly came to the conclusion that he had suffered - probably, and possibly among other things - a broken hip and pelvis. Carlton radioed for help, and in the following 16 hours of traveling to meet up with the U.S. He was pinned between the railing and the crab pot in an accident deemed so bad that even the show's producer - the usually off-camera Todd Stanley - rushed in to help (via TV Insider). The blow to the ship loosened a crab pot - which typically weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 pounds - and Katungin was in the wrong place at the wrong time. In an episode that aired on Ap(via Distractify), the ship was hit by a rogue wave at the moment pictured. Police booked him for DUI, possession of a controlled substance, maintaining a vehicle for the purposes of drug distribution, and possession of a stolen firearm. When authorities were finally able to search his vehicle, they found heroin, a stolen shotgun, and a suspended license. Later, he was charged with drug possession and grand theft auto in Phoenix while joy-riding with another man's wife, and still later, in February 2019, having been stopped by park rangers for a possible DUI, he led state troopers on a dangerous chase around rural Washington in an RV. Then, when sharing a ride home from a Washington casino with three new "friends," he was robbed and beaten within an inch of his life. First, he was involved in a hit-and-run accident in Seattle. That loss came during the sixth season of the show, and Jake, who had often struggled with drugs and was even suspected of doing them on the clock, began to fall apart shortly thereafter. Jake Harris (pictured left, with his brother, Josh) lost his father, Phil, the immensely popular captain of the Cornelia Marie, in January 2010. ![]() I, considering I write the Daily Song Drop, used to DJ, do some sound design for theater, excellent sound is something I am very particular on, and this was not only fit the project, it fit it so well that I would never want to imagine Burly Men at Sea without this soundtrack. As soon as I had finished the game, for what I think is the first time ever, I started looking into picking up the soundtrack from Burly Men at Sea to just have. This was all helped by the excellent original soundtrack from Plied Sound I got flashes of things like The Lego Movie, Swiss Army Man, and just sitting around with my friends recording and making sound effects for things, all wrapped into one endlessly charming package. The art is just perfect for Burly Men at Sea because it instantly sets the tone for what you are about to experience, and over the course of my 2 hours of gameplay (roughly, to get the Platinum trophy AKA play every story) I often found myself snagging screenshots, just because I loved what I was seeing, or, there were even occasions where I was caught off guard by just how damn pretty a frame was. Then we have to talk about the artstyle and music.but first, in case you're unfamiliar with the game, check out the launch trailer (to at least give you a taste of the two):Ībsolutely beautiful, in such a pure, minimalist style that made me feel like I was playing through a truly excellent storybook from my childhood. There are several stories you can experience, and something that I absolutely loved about the game was that even though you would have to repeat a few story beats (sometimes) in order to get to make a different choice, there was slight variations in the story.the Brothers would comment on how things had gone "last time" or what they expected, in such a sweet way that it made every story feel well worth it. ![]() The adventures themselves (and I will not spoil them for you, I promise) tend to involve creatures from Scandinavian folklore, and you can easily complete one in roughly twenty minutes-to-half an hour. Over the course of the game, you (the Player) are put in control of what is essentially a "choose your own adventure" story wherein you make a set of 50/50 decisions and see how the story plays out for the Brothers Beard. Burly Men at Sea follows the exploits of three, burly, heavily-bearded fisherman (brothers) who leave their normal, early 20th century Scandinavian lives behind and set off for adventure. ![]() The Shuttle 32 has a 110 -L capacity, weighs 4kg empty, and measures 82x41x31cm.

The bag still looks new here at home - it's the most durable luggage we've ever used. When we flew to Glasgow (then back to Ireland, and then home to the US), the same thing happened - safe belongings, envy of other passengers, great size and fit ( amazing how old hat such compliments get). It fit well into the rental car, and rolled easily into our home. We loved that the hard bottom by the wheels deflected any breakage of things inside - all our belongings arrived in one piece. Yes, we fielded great comments from our fellow passengers about the bag - they had never seen such an interesting and useful bag. We were astonished in the Shannon airport to see that after several flights, the fishpond bag still looked new. We had decided to take three pieces of luggage, and in the end took just two, because the fishpond bag held so much - and was under the 50 pound weight limit. Best of all, it fit our tripod and ALL of our belongings that weren't being carried on. It has very strong handles, wheels at one end, and even a shoulder strap. It is a beautiful pine green, with natural accents. When fishpond sent us the Bumpy Road Cargo Duffel, we were elated. We wanted a bag that was easy to handle, could fit a lot, and was able to accommodate our tripod (26" long when retracted).

Saline calls this “flow” and she says it’s not the same as hyperfocus. Pretty much everyone can say that they have experienced being “in the zone” at one time or another. “In a way, hyperfocus is like sustained attention on steroids,” she says. This is what Saline calls “productive hyperfocus,” and it’s the opposite of scrolling for hours. But it can also happen when you’re trying to meet a deadline or work through a task you find boring, according to Susan Ciardiello, Ph.D., LCSW, an ADHD coach and psychotherapist. Usually, hyperfocus happens when you’re doing an activity that you find fun or interesting, explains Sharon Saline, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist, author and speaker. And if you get interrupted, you may be irritated or grumpy. “It’s when you are completely engrossed in a task to the point where everything else gets blocked out.” When you’re experiencing hyperfocus, it’s difficult to switch your attention to other tasks. “Hyperfocus is like tunnel vision,” says Lindsay O’Shea, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who helps people manage ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and improve their self-esteem. Until I was diagnosed with ADHD, I didn’t know that this phenomenon wasn’t “normal,” or that it actually has a name: hyperfocus. This happens with other activities too, such as doing taxes or scrolling through social media. ![]() Occasionally I forget to eat or even get out of my chair to move around.

It’s currently in beta so there are many features still being worked out and smaller bugs in the process. You can download the program totally free of charge from the main website. That said, if you do wanna give it a shot you’ll be impressed. It’s exclusive to MacOS only so it’s not an option for Windows or Linux users. Storyboard Fountain is a newer program that I found just recently. However it would be worth learning if you want to work in animation someday. It is not necessary to buy this in order to create a pro-level board. To put it bluntly: Toon Boom Storyboard is really the professional’s program. Plenty of support across all the typical art industry programs. Easily import scripts from Final Draft or export your layered panels for Photoshop. You can also create dynamic camera movements along with some experimental 3D features that work nicely for 3D animators. But the Story Flow tool makes it a breeze for writers to switch between board & script to follow each sequence, each scene, and each act. It can work well for ad agencies or for board artists doing small skits. Toon Boom is definitely more of an animator’s program. It’s a way to sketch your boards and see how they’d animate, all while tracking your script to make sure your scenes are on target. Really it’s a combo of both sketching and animating together. ![]() So what exactly does this program give you? This monthly fee gives you a chance to test the waters and see what you think of Toon Boom without committing to a massive single use license. Now with that said, it does offer a cheaper monthly fee that most people could afford compared to the upfront cost. To my knowledge this is the most expensive storyboarding software on the market and it’s also the industry standard.Ī good majority of studios use Toon Boom for boarding & animating so this is something you may want to learn if you want to break into the industry. Looking at the complete opposite of free we’ll find Toon Boom Storyboard Pro. That is why Storyboarder makes such a great choice for beginners who need a simple application to practice their boards.įrom a single screen you can draw each shot, add dialogue/stage directions, and even port the entire thing into Adobe Photoshop if you need a larger toolset.Īlso Storyboarder comes with a play feature so you can demo your boards in a slideshow preview much like a real animatic for animation.Īn excellent program for presenting to clients, or just for mucking around and practicing on your own. I’d think if you’re a newbie to storyboarding then you’d want to save money at every turn. This runs on all 3 major operating systems and it’s 100% free to download and use forever. One of their coolest projects is Storyboarder, a free app made for visualizing stories. The team at Wonder Unit has developed some really cool stuff for filmmakers. I’ll go through all the best options in this post and get you started on the path to magnificent digital storyboards. ![]() So what kind of software is best for storyboarding? And which programs offer the best features to support your creative projects? If you search around you’ll find plenty of options but they each have a range of features, benefits, and prices(some free!)
