![]() As the total gameplay of Metal Slug 6 and other Metal Slugs series rarely exceeds an hour, it also serves as a good casual game that can be introduced in a party to break the ice amongst strangers. Cooperating with another player to kill enemies not only makes it easier to clear the levels and bosses, but also helps us forge better relationships as we share resources and slugs to take down the common enemy programmed by the game. ![]() This requires practice in accurately identifying enemy attack patterns and weak spots which gives the game a more rewarding sense of accomplishment for the player if they managed to run through the game while losing as little lives as possible.Ģ player Cooperation gameplay to take down the first mission boss in Metal Slug 6Īlthough the game can be cleared in a single player, it is always more fun in my opinion if it is played together with others. Although one can argue that the game does not really need skill to complete as long as you have sufficient credit to top up your lives to mow down the game, the true skill comes from being able to dodge every single incoming bullets and lasers while gunning down all enemies and not utilizing a single life. However to master the game is not as simple as it seems. The controls are very simple, basic movements up, down, left and right, jump, attack, and bombs. All these new contents that can be found as the game progresses makes the game refreshing and exciting which motivates them to carry on to the next level and clear the game. There are also several Slugs with different gun patterns available for the player to control, together with various gun drops that make player anticipate the type of power that they can obtain to take down the enemies. This gives the player the option to explore the beautiful worlds that are populated and designed with the iconic Metal Slugs art style. The game was initially built for arcade machine Atomiswave platform but has expanded to be compatible with playstation2 as well as PC with the aid of an emulator.Ī Donkey Slug which is one of the many other Slugs that player can take controlĪlthough the world of Metal Slug is linear, there are branching paths available for the player to take for them to experience different enemies and mount different Slugs. Technology: Player tracking projectiles and AI baked boss attack patterns were used to kill the player. Story: Bringing back the Martians and Rebels found in Metal Slugs 2, X and 3, instead of teaming up against the Rebels to fight against the Martians, we formed an alliance with both of them in order to bring down an even greater threat in a nostalgic yet refreshing storyline. Coupled with great background music and catchy blast sound effects made the overall aesthetics of the game a pleasing one indeed. The shadings and colors used also matches the military and war theme that Metal Slug encompasses which helps players to be better immersed in the game. ![]() Differentiating itself from its predecessors are the unique skills that each character have and the ability to carry and switch between 2 types of weapons.Īesthetic: The sprites and animation of Metal Slug is one of the best I’ve seen and it adds value to the gaming experience since 2D side-scrolling games generally does not have a wide variety of actions that player can do which means good sprites and animations are key in creating a more versatile and lively 3D world on a 2D plane. The game also supports 2 players where you can tag a buddy along to help tackle the challenging enemies and bosses. The player can choose to play under a strict time limit or no time limit at all. Players will be instantly killed when hit by enemy fire and hence have to elegantly dodge every incoming projectile while finding the right opportunity to gun down their adversaries. Mechanics: The game mechanic features a 2d side scrolling movements with various different weapons and vehicle/animal mounts known as “slugs” to aid the player in clearing the various missions with a boss at the end of every mission. The player selection of Metal Slug 6 showing all 6 characters, The objective is to clear the 6 stages known as missions by gunning down enemies with the aid of weapons and mounts known as “slugs”. I chose to focus on Metal Slug 6 as it has the most diverse range of characters, each with their own unique sets of skills that sets it apart from its predecessor. The Metal Slugs franchise is a side-scrolling, run and gun action game that originally marketed as an arcade game but is also available to be played on the pc with the aid of an emulator.

![]() The Banner Saga also distinguishes itself with its Norse setting and incredible aesthetic – both in its visual artistry and in its fantastic music. The Banner Saga delivers a cold and harsh journey, full of challenging tactics battles and tricky decisions that can often feel more like mitigating disaster than trying to outright win. The entire trilogy works as one beautiful whole, adding weight and importance to every hard choice and branching path you pick along the frostbitten road. The Banner Saga is representing its entire series on this list in a way few other games are. fame), you’ll find a criminally underplayed strategy RPG that’s every bit as rewarding today as when it surprised GameCube owners back in 2005. If you only know Path of Radiance because it introduced the world to Ike (of subsequent Smash Bros. The Battle Preparations and Base screens added important story details and character interactions, while expanded shove and rescue functions made for more strategic combat, and a smart bonus rewards system kept battles flowing by setting turn-limits and providing specific sub goals. Its innovations and tweaks have influenced every Fire Emblem game since then. ![]() Path of Radiance stayed true to its predecessors’ core game systems, like the weapons triangle, but upgraded everything from the skills system to the flow of battles. But its impact is more significant than that. Path of Radiance will forever hold a special place in our hearts for bringing Fire Emblem back to consoles, and becoming the first console FE to be released in the west since the series’ inception in 1990. You'll be in those cutscenes for a while! 8. While its gameplay can seem a bit unforgiving at first, in a somewhat novel move for the genre, accumulated XP carries over even after failed missions, so you won't beat your head against a difficulty wall for too long. Thrust into a new age of war after a long period of fragile peace, Triangle Strategy starts as many others in the genre do, but quickly differentiates itself with a branching path and a heavy focus on narrative. Not content to tackle just classic turn-based RPGs with Octopath Traveler, Square Enix created this spiritual successor to classic tactics games and doubled down on making your choices matter, both on and off the battlefield. The newest game on our list, Triangle Strategy, quickly made a name for itself with its challenging gameplay, beautiful 2.5D pixel art, and story of political intrigue. It's an outstanding beacon for what this genre has become in the last several years.

![]() ![]() Without talking to someone who's actually created one of these things, this is all pure speculation. The gas doesn't have to pass through the reed, although the air from the bag does. If you tapped the gas source into the drone above the reed, it wouldn't be affected by the flame at all. Now, what about the reed or double reed? Reeds are usually at the end of the instrument where the air is blown in in a bagpipe drone, that's inside the bag. Also, if the flame only lasts for a second or two (and I didn't see any that lasted much longer than that), it probably won't affect the wood of the drone at all and, of course, the flame will go away the instant the gas flow stops. My consultant pointed out that the flow of gas up the tube, before ignition, would cool the area somewhat. It would have to have a jet poking up inside the drone, and some kind of spark arrangement on the jet to light it finally it would have to have either one or two switches the player could use to control the gas flow and the spark (separately or together). We both agreed that anyone doing this has to put some kind of gas source (The Crucible uses propane) inside the bag. I regret that I didn't think to ask his name he was an older man with a white beard, wearing a hat, sitting next to the booth. I dropped in at their booth and posed my question, and learned some very interesting things from a man there. Now, one group which is always at the Mini Maker Faire is The Crucible, an Oakland non-profit specializing in art production involving fire. I asked the guy about the bagpipes, but he said no, he didn't know anything about flaming bagpipes. Mini Maker Faires usually have flame-throwers somewhere this one had a guy (from Sheet Metal Alchemist) with a tower of flamethrowers you could set them off by swinging a mallet at a lever, just like the old "ring the bell" carny act, except this one produces a huge burst of flame in the air above you. I spent part of last weekend at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire in Oakland, California. This leaves a huge question in my mind: how the devil do you blow a huge blast of flame through a wooden reed or double reed instrument without incinerating the whole boiling, and the bagpiper too? And yet both of these bagpipers continued to play while intermittently shooting bursts of flame out of the drones. This explains a lot about the way bagpipes sound, actually. And I definitely learned from Wikipedia that bagpipe drones are either reed instruments (like a clarinet) or double-reed instruments (like an oboe). But to the best of my knowledge, the chanter (the one the piper fingers) and the drones are made of wood, although Wikipedia doesn't confirm this directly. Now, I like bagpipes, a taste I inherited from my mother not everyone does. ![]() You can find more videos, if you're interested, by searching for "flaming bagpipes" on YouTube. Unicycling Darth Vader Upgrades to Flaming Bagpipes Drones are the pipes which stick out of the bags and produce a single tone each. ![]() Over the last couple of months I've seen two short videos posted on Facebook, in which bagpipe players, playing their instruments, caused bursts of flame to come out of the drones. ![]() It still gets indexed, but not stored because of “Reader” usageĪll the Lucern Documents will be added by using addDocument() method and index is being created and ready to be searched.

It can be created out of any type of text files and indexed based on various search terms. Lucene is a great choice for creating effective search capabilities within application. ![]() Employees are often eager to do whatever they can to help the organization succeed their employers can reassure them by creating a supportive learning culture. ![]() Workers need to know that their workplaces offer clear avenues for skill development. Learning new skills, especially when one's occupation may depend upon it, creates anxiety and can lead to questioning one's worth. SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK), the foundational document of SHRM certification. Three tactical approaches to achieve these goals are presented below, in alignment with the HR professionals, therefore, must devise strategies to help their workers find ways to address these questions.įostering an environment that elevates employee well-being and career development presents employers and HR professionals with an opportunity, when the pandemic ends, to strengthen engagement and productivity in their organizations and elevate worker morale. Employers and HR professionals who ignore them run the risk of diminishing employee engagement, satisfaction and retention. Today, however, these questions are legitimate, valid and essential. Historically, many of these questions would be written off as irrelevant or frivolous. These questions arise within the context of a pandemic that is challenging HR professionals to clarify employees' current skill sets, as well as the skill sets most needed by the organization. These new requirements intersect to create questions that workers carry with them each day: How do I maintain my marketability? What new learning should I pursue? How do I assess the impact of recent events relative to my career options? What strategies should I use to ensure that I am valued by my employer and perform at a high level? How do I increase my cultural competence? How can I find a job that values my skill sets? How do I find opportunities to grow and develop? How can I strengthen my ability to cope with ambiguity and change? What is the best way to respond? They must demonstrate their ability to collaborate, work effectively in teams and communicate in culturally responsive ways. It is now a necessity for workers to take responsibility for ongoing engagement in learning. What were once recommendations to workers-that they demonstrate the capacity to adapt to changing conditions, new developments and emerging challenges-are now requirements. The COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the workplace have underscored the mandate for career development and the need for workers to take more control of their career destinies. ![]() We found no significant genetic bottleneck associated with the introduction of mango into new regions of the world. Our results suggest that mango has a more complex history of domestication than previously supposed, perhaps including multiple domestication events, hybridization and regional selection.By contrast, we show that mango populations in introduced regions have elevated levels of diversity. ![]() Our work has direct implications for mango breeding and genebank management, and also builds on recent efforts to understand how woody perennial crops respond to domestication. Over the past 12 000 yr, humans have domesticated thousands of species from across the plant kingdom (Meyer et al., 2012 Meyer & Purugganan, 2013 Gaut et al., 2015). The process of crop domestication is a special case of co-evolution that gradually increases plant–human interdependence, and results in various levels of intensity of cultivation and breeding (Clement, 1999 Zeder, 2006 Pickersgill, 2007). As such, the domestication process provides tractable systems in which to study convergent evolution, gene flow, adaptation, diversification and genome evolution (e.g. Arnold, 2004 Kovach et al., 2007 Purugganan & Fuller, 2009 Meyer & Purugganan, 2013 Olsen & Wendel, 2013 The International Peach Genome Initiative, 2013 Washburn et al., 2016). ![]() You should put your confirmation code in a safe place or consider taking a picture of it so you have it stored digitally.
