6/13/2023 0 Comments Kingdom under fire 2 classWe captured most of our gameplay in a series of videos as well, the first of which can be seen here: The attending journalists were all given plenty of time to enjoy their first hands-on experience with Kingdom Under Fire II during the press event, and we spent about an hour and a half exploring Bersia and engaging with the game’s early stages. This should enrich the RTS aspects of the game, which is very much at the core of the Kingdom Under Fire franchise (and how the original PC game started out). Launching with about 80 unit types, the number of available units to lead into war is expected to grow to an impressive 120 post-launch. Playing out in the fantasy kingdom of Bersia the game relies on a lot of lore that was built up over the years (and a few spin-off titles), but cutscenes ensure you can jump in without too much knowledge of the ancient struggle between Nibel and Encablossa and the latter’s followers who are now spreading darkness across the land. The presentation also discussed the game’s nature as a blend of (MMO)RPG and Real Time Strategy – a rather unique hook in the MMO genre. Many of these items can also be earned and purchased in-game, so it’s very possible to jump in at a lower tier and work your way up from there. All versions include the main/full game, with the Emperor and War God editions also giving players additional cosmetic items as well as temporary booster packs. There are three packages available to purchase already, ranging from the Hero package to the Emperor and War God packages. Speaking of the launch and upcoming content – Gameforge is planning to release all this content for free to follow up on the game’s “buy-to-play” launch. Gameforge and Blueside will gradually be adding content to the game post-release as part of an ongoing effort to keep players engaged even after completing the game’s story campaign. You’ll be able to form guilds and go up against other guilds, and Kingdom Under Fire II will also feature seasonal events as part of its end game content. Key reveals included an upcoming character class called the Dark Sorceress and the option to go on 16-player raids. Prior to that, Gameforge also hosted a presentation on the upcoming launch, revealing new footage, screenshots and information on the game. To say that Kingdom Under Fire II has been a long time coming would be an understatement – yet the project is very much alive and pre-orders for the upcoming launch have been available for a few weeks now.īesides plenty of time to marvel at Castle Reichenstein’s architecture and history through a series of fun activities on castle grounds, last week’s event in Germany offered members of the press a hands-on look at a recent English language build of the game. To put that into perspective, the spin-off title Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders was an exclusive for the original (!) Xbox console. The original Kingdom Under Fire released close to twenty years ago back in 2001. Here’s our report and why we’re eager to dive back in once the game is finally released for EU and US audiences. We took a journey of our own as we traveled to Germany to meet with publisher Gameforge and developer Blueside as we dove into the game and its development. You can band up with guilds and battle others with your army.When Kingdom Under Fire II releases later this week, it’ll be a new starting point for the series as well as the end of a long journey.
6/13/2023 0 Comments Katana trainingAnd because your muscles power the weapon, how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ a strike is. You simply can’t wave the katana around without using your muscles. That’s what makes training with a katana fun and also makes you work on your fitness. The use of the katana, in its basics, differs very little from what the ancient Samurai would have practiced and B. Whether you are a practitioner of the purer, formal kata techniques found in Kenjutsu or the more modern style of Kendo or belong to any of the literary hundreds of modern styles of Japanese swordsmanship that came into popularity in the 20th century there are two things which are the same: A. Throw a one-kilogram weight with your entire body and suddenly not only do you have to take into account the way muscles work when they are unbalanced but also how your mind works when your body is augmented in this way.Ī katana is a weapon with a history that dates back almost a thousand years and there is a deep tradition that inevitably has grown around its use. The katana, in keeping with most swords is just over a kilogram in weight (just over a bag of sugar) which doesn’t sound like it’s very much and yet it is sufficient to generate the force necessary to slice through most things. The combination of all this determines style, technique, power, speed and efficiency when faced by one or more opponents. Is it curved or is it straight? Is it a long weapon meant to be used to outfight or a short one that needs your opponent to be within grappling distance? Does it have one edge which requires deft handling when changing directions or two? Is it designed to be used with one hand or does it require both? In function you look at the primary use of the weapon: Is it meant to thrust first or slash? Is it heavy-bladed and used to crash through things or is it razor-thin and meant to cut with precision? The way an edged weapon works is always determined by function and form. 6/13/2023 0 Comments Battery buddy isaacThe issue with Eve is keeping her at that 1 HP necessary to keep Whore of Babylon working. The item gives you a large boost to your damage if Eve has 1 full red heart container or less (if you have more than one container but only one or less is full, then that is fine).Īs the item is only affected by red hearts the general strategy is to locate soul or demon hearts then purposefully damage Eve before picking them up this way you get the item effect but don't leave yourself vulnerable with only 1 HP. Once you have managed to unlock Eve, you will get the achievement tied to herīeat 2 levels in a row without picking up any hearts.Įve's character is based around one of her starting items called Whore of Babylon. Obviously, the easiest way to do this is to just clear the first two floors carefully with either Isaac or Maggy as they have decent starting HP which will keep you alive without needing to worry too much. This includes both soul and demon hearts. To unlock Eve you must clear two floors in a row without picking up any heart items. Once you get 55 coins in one run you will unlock Cain and pop:Īs well as the above you will also unlock the following items as you work towards RPG/1001%įor beating Boss Rush - ?'s Only Friendįor beating Mom's Heart on Hard Mode - Dead Baby (co-op character)įor beating Greed Mode - Cracked Dice (Afterbirth)įor beating Greedier Mode - Meconium (Afterbirth+)įor beating Hush - Fate's Reward (Afterbirth)įor beating Mega Satan - Blue Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character)įor beating Delirium - King Baby (Afterbirth+)įor getting all Hard Mode marks on the post-it note - Hive Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character) Initially, it's unlikely you will reach this target easily but once you can get to chapter four and beyond it becomes much more doable. To be able to play as Cain, you need to be holding 55 coins at one time during one of your runs. Have 7 or more max red hearts at one time.Īs well as the above items you will also unlock the following as you work towards RPG/1001%įor beating Mom's Heart on Hard Mode - Cute Baby (co-op character)įor beating Blue Baby (?) - Celtic Crossįor beating Greed Mode - Censor (Afterbirth)įor beating Greedier Mode - Glyph of Balance (Afterbirth+)įor beating Mega Satan - Red Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character)įor beating Delirium - Eucharist (Afterbirth+)įor getting all Hard Mode checks on post-it note - Colorful Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character) Once you get the seven heart containers you will get a pop up on the screen and will also unlock This can be easily achieved early on using Isaac as bosses give HP upgrades more often than not (especially before other items are unlocked). To unlock Magdalene you must have seven or more red heart containers on a character in one run. Magdalene is the second character of the game. You will also unlock the following items that are not tied to specific achievements but still count towards Real Platinum God -įor beating Mom's Heart on Hard Mode - Lost Baby (co-op character)įor beating Greed Mode - Lil' Chest (Afterbirth)įor beating Greedier Mode - D1 (Afterbirth+)įor beating Hush - Fart Baby (Afterbirth)įor beating Mega Satan - Cry Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character)įor beating Delirium - D Infinity (Afterbirth+)įor getting all Hard Mode checks on post-it note - Buddy Baby (Afterbirth, co-op character) - Can be done in Afterbirth prior to getting Afterbirth+ When/if you change the D6 out for another item is up to you and is a judgement call you will learn to make as you go through the game.Īs you make progress through the game with Isaac you will unlock the following achievements and items. Whenever you find items in the item room, shop, after beating a boss, or in a devil/angel that you don't like, you can use the D6 to re-roll the items to hopefully get something better. With the D6 in hand, you want to hold onto it for a while as you make your way through the floors. Once you unlock the D6, Isaac will always start with it giving him a slightly different playstyle. Isaac is the most basic character with all his stats starting out reasonably decent and in the beginning there is little to no specific strategy involved when playing as him. With all that explained let's get onto the characters themselves. From Afterbirth onward, you must get each mark checked off with its hard mode version to unlock all secrets for the corresponding achievements. To add the red version, you must clear that boss/bonus area on Hard (Greedier mode for the bottom-center mark). Delirium (Causes the post-it note to become crinkled/bloodied around the edges)ĭefeating each of the above will put the corresponding image on that characters post-it note.Greed Mode (Greedier Mode for red mark in Afterbirth+).From top to bottom, left to right the symbols represent which bosses/bonus areas the character has defeated which are. 6/13/2023 0 Comments Dropbox paper iconAs soon as you put a file in the Dropbox folder, the software automatically syncs it to every other computer or device that shares that particular folder.

6/12/2023 0 Comments Carla elite bodyAfter Marina tells the class that she has HIV, Carla invites her over, but Marina discovers a collection of expensive watches and tells Nano about it so he can steal them. When Polo starts sabotaging Christian's opportunity to become a model, Carla accuses Polo of being jealous but does not specify who he is jealous of. Carla brings Polo and Christian to a fundraiser and responds to her mother's disapproval by making out with both boys and giving her the finger before leaving with her boyfriends. Eventually when Christian finds out, he is uncomfortable with the idea, but later goes back and has a threesome with Carla and Polo. At Marina's party, Carla seduces and has sex with Christian, but Polo watches, unbeknownst to Christian. Upon becoming bored with their lives and their predetermined futures, Carla and Polo decide to add some spice to their romantic life by including Christian. In season 2, Carla told Samuel that she lost her virginity at 14. It may be expected that a noble's child, particularly the heir, to have a noble title lower than their parents, but it's unknown if Carla has one (in this case she would be a marchioness of a less important marquessate or a countess).Īccording to Ander, she has dated Polo since they were twelve years old. As in the Spanish nobility rules, as daughter of Grands of Spain, she has also a personal Greatness ( Grandeza Pessoal in Spanish), which is lower than a true Greatness of Spain, but Carla is still stylized as Her Excellence, Lady Carla Caleruega Rosón (or La Excelentísima Señora, Doña. She obtained her nickname Little Marchioness (or La Marquesa / La Marquesita in Spanish) due to this. Her mother is a member of the Spanish nobility, a Grand of Spain as the current Marchionesses of the Marquesado de Caleruega and owns a vineyard with the same name, meaning that Carla is an aristocrat and the heiress of the Marquesado de Caleruega, the future marchioness. Carla is the wealthiest student at Las Encinas due to her father's status as a very successful businessman, but more primarily the wealth of her mother's family, the noble House of Caleruega, of which she is the head. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Last man standing suge knightThe Poochie theory was based "on the flimsiest of evidence, and it was obviously to dispel the Biggie Smalls lawsuit", Broomfield alleges. By this point, Kading's suspect could not be charged Poochie was dead, gunned down while riding a motorbike in 2003. In 2006, amid a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Wallace's family, which was eventually dismissed, the LAPD reopened the Biggie case, with retired detective Greg Kading concluding that Knight had commissioned a gang member called Wardell "Poochie" Fouse to carry out the shooting. Suge Knight went to prison and a lot of people were prepared to come forward and say things that they were never going to say before." "Over the 20 years, there were certain developments. "I kept in touch with Russell Poole a bit," he tells Sky News. Pic: Dogwoofīroomfield says he wanted to return to the story because he always believed Poole was right - and with Knight in prison, he felt more confident of finding evidence to try to prove it. Image: Russell Poole was an LAPD detective who believed fellow officers were involved in Wallace's murder. A legal representative for Knight did not respond to Sky News' request for comment. The LAPD told Sky News it did not want to comment on the claims and the documentary, but has previously denied the allegations. Poole, who featured in the first documentary, retired early and went on to continue his investigations privately, the case consuming his life he died after suffering an aneurysm in 2015, while discussing the Tupac and Biggie murders at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. These are not new accusations claims about Knight and the alleged involvement of corrupt police were made years ago by LAPD officer Russell Poole, a leading investigator in the Biggie case who was "vilified" by the force, says Broomfield. The documentary paints a picture of Death Row as a workplace entrenched in violence and misogyny, and features new testimonies supporting the theory that Knight commissioned the hit on Biggie - with "dirty cops" from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) allegedly involved. Steinberg is one of several people featured in Broomfield's follow-up, Last Man Standing, which sees the director revisiting the story almost 20 years later.
