Callan was one of those people, and he started by loading the then-unfinished Halo 3 and replaying the part of the game where the footage came from. I was a pretty low-level tester at that time and I was given the task from people like two or three levels above me within the studio."Ī bunch of different groups within Bungie were asked to get to the bottom of the brute dick issue, including the testing, character art, and graphics engineering departments. "I was being talked to by pretty high-up Bungie people. "The funniest part is that everyone was dead serious about it and these were like.orders from TOP MEN," said Dan Callan, who was a build verification tester for Bungie at the time, which meant he was intimately familiar with the games Bungie was working on. People were looking at it closely, and one detail that people latched onto was the idea of this Brute with a dick openly flailing around.Īfter fans started pointing out the possibility of a hidden Brute dick, Bungie panicked and started ordering various employees to look into what happened. In this case, it was the first real glimpse at the campaign for Halo 3. "It all got resolved by the end of the day but for a wild couple of hours there were a lot of accusations flying around a very stressed studio in the middle of crunch." "It's been a long, long time since I have thought about that ," said Steve Scott, the VFX art lead on Halo 3 at the time, who was initially blamed for the alleged Brute penis in the trailer.

To protect their revenues, the developers have become strict against modding in multiplayer. In-game purchases are a definite source of income for Rockstar, but mods can cause a significant loss.

![]() Next you’ll set up the indents so they conform to normal script formatting. ![]() Now highlight the entire document (Ctrl+A) and format it Courier New 12 pt. (Note that the reason I use the word “action” instead of “description” is because we are going to set up shortcut keys using the first letters of these words, and “description” and “dialog” both starts with the same letter.) Now in your blank document type the following just like you see it here: (If you prefer different margins go ahead and enter them here.) Set your margins to Top: 1”, Bottom: 1”, Left: 1.5”, and Right: 1”. This will bring up the “Page Setup” dialog box and should be on the “Margins” tab. The easiest way to do this is just double-click in the empty gray space to the left of the ruler. We’re also going to need the ruler, so if you don’t see a ruler above your page click on “View” and then put a check in the box marked “Ruler”. You should now see what looks like a blank white page on a gray background. Or click on “View” on the menu bar, then click the “Print Layout” icon on the left. ![]() Just click on the left-most icon on the lower-right corner of the Word screen.

I can’t recall if Word 2003 does, but in any of these versions you should be able to adapt what I’m showing you here.įirst of all I am assuming you know the basics of Word. As I noted in an earlier post, I have used Word with styles to write hundreds of scripts and actually find it easier than the top screenwriting software. If you follow the instructions below you will turn Microsoft Word into a simple but effective screenwriting program. If you are familiar with screenwriting software such as Final Draft you know that what they basically do is make it easier to write scripts by automatically formatting script elements, fonts, paragraphs, etc. A style is simply a saved bundle of formatting instructions. Several of you have asked me for instructions on how to set up Microsoft Word “styles” for script writing. If you are currently enrolled in a college or university, you have access to an additional source. By finding friends at an activity that has a financial barrier to entry, you will make it much less likely that you'll end up with the wrong kind of friend. They'll just pull you down or ask you for money. It's not going to be in your interest to have friends that are broke. And you might not have that, but I'll explain to you why that's required. I understand that most of these cost some money. Take a community college class in a topic you like Since you want like-minded friends (because those are more likely to like you as well as more likely to be long time friends), you will need to find people that are similar to you. R/socialskills (read the sidebar, it has a lot of good advice) In addition to that, reddit has several safe spaces, where you can practice friendly chitchat and maybe even make friends: Make sure both you and your clothes are clean, that you don't have ongoing dental issues and cut your hair at least once every 8 weeks. On top of that there are clubs pretty much very where, it's cheap and free to visit the first few times. You might think, "what does public speaking have to do with friendships?" Well, they'll train you into talking to people you don't know, they'll teach you ad hoc speaking and they'll give you feedback if you have body posture, eye contact or other non-verbal communication issues. However, there is something that's very close to it (and it's also a great source to find good friends) and that's Toastmasters. Then it would be helpful if you could practice walking up to strangers and talking to them, so you can see what approach works for you and what doesn't work. A good book on this topic was written about 100 years ago and it's called "How to win Friends & Influence People". But you are asking for them, so you probably don't know how to make them. ![]() How If you were good at making friends, well then you would have them. you should fill out how you've felt in the last month.Įach test takes about 2 to 3 minutes to complete, let me know if you scored high (or low in the case of the self esteem test) on any of these and I'll give you specific advice on how to address that first, before you work on making new friends. Answer how you've felt in the last two weeks. If you are not sure you have a problem (but you might), here are a few tests you can take:ĭepression. In order to have good friends, you need to be a good friend. If you don't do that first, you'll only make friends that will drag you down or that you won't be able to keep for very long. In order to make and keep friends, these need to be addressed first. This goes for any serious character flaws. If you're currently addicted, it would be better to fix that now and then look for friends, that way you can avoid a negative reinforcement cycle later. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety or self esteem issues, let me know, and I'll give you advice on how to deal with that. So first you have to make sure you are reasonably mentally stable. When If you understand the like-mindedness aspect of friendship, then you probably also understand that if you're mentally damaged or an addict, that you're more likely to become friends with like-minded people and if you're mentally in a good state, you're more likely to get friends that are equally in healthy state. You will want friends that don't drag you down, that are emotionally reasonably stable and are empathic. You are most likely to become friends with people that more or less share your socioeconomic background. So to keep things simple and maximize your odds of success, if you're a single female, you look for single females and if you're a couple, you look for other couples, etc. There's generally no such thing as opposites attract when it comes to new friendships (it is possible, it just becomes a lot more complicated and you have to worry about motives). If you're a single male, you are more likely to like and become friends with other single males, etc. Who The first thing to understand is that most people like like-minded people. You will want friends that are there for you when you are in a time of need, not friends that will drop you at the first sign of trouble. Sure, it's for the social contact, but it doesn't stop there. Why Let's make sure you know why you want friends. I'll break it down into it's individual aspects and then I'll tell you how to approach each aspect individually. ![]() ![]() So you want to make new friends and you don't know how.

![]() The rock formations and views of the San Andreas fault weave their own kind of magic. ![]() The park itself is really cool, and not just for the Joshua trees. Joshua trees come in seemingly infinite shapes and sizes. So when I saw I was passing near Joshua Tree National Park, like anyone who was even remotely sentient in the 80’s and 90’s, I immediately thought of the album. And what teenager didn’t have With Or Without You or I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For on repeat at some point after being dumped by their girl/boyfriend. Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite For DestructionĪll but one of the top 20 are by male artists, with the exception being Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love - which lands at number 11.Īlbums by Madonna, Janet Jackson, Tracy Chapman and Grace Jones feature further down the list.Ī countdown of the entire top 40 list of listeners’ favourite Eighties albums will be broadcast on October 9 at 8pm on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.I’ve never been a huge U2 fan… I mean sure, Where The Streets Have No Name and Sunday Bloody Sunday were big when I was growing up and all that Mission: Impossible stuff was cool. A poll like this is a perfect excuse to dip back into an amazing decade for music."ĥ. "It was ahead of its time and with it U2 found an entire new audience that they didn't have with some earlier material."īBC Radio Ulster presenter Steven Rainey added: "I'm really glad that The Joshua Tree came out on top because it's a brilliant album. "Not many other albums of that era could do the same because this one doesn't sound distinctively like an 80s album. "It's rare for an album from the mid 1980s to stand the test of time and you could play any of those tracks and it would sound like something that was recorded last week," he said. "When that hunger still exists with any act I feel that they're always more productive than once they get to the top of the mountain," Martin added.Ĭool FM presenter Stuart Robinson said The Joshua Tree remains timeless. "The album was such a complete piece of work and it was there when the band was on its way up and getting bigger and bigger. "U2 also became the first band since The Beatles to appear on the cover of Time magazine so it's an album that I'm unlikely to forget for these very personal reasons," he said. "I was fortunate enough whenever it was out to be invited on tour with them in the United States and the weekend we arrived The Joshua Tree was the number one album and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For was top of the singles chart. "It was undoubtedly U2's best album ever, full of great songs. Bono liked the name so much it became the album title.Ĭorbijn recounts that Bono consulted a Bible and was taken by how the tree got its name from Mormon settlers who thought its limbs reminded them of a Biblical story of Joshua lifting his hands in prayer.īroadcaster Ivan Martin said the album's number one spot was the right decision. The idea of using a Joshua Tree photo came from photographer Anton Corbijn, who suggested a trip through the Mojave Desert to take pictures. The Joshua Tree was released in March 1987. It became the fastest-selling album in British chart history and over 25 million copies were sold worldwide. ![]() Including massive hits such as With Or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, The Joshua Tree topped the charts in over 20 countries.

Titans appear as all the other unit types depending on Factions. ![]() Titans are end-game units, which usually require the highest tech level and a captured relic. Vehicles are heavy weaponry and transports, and include tanks, artillery, troop carriers and walkers. Infantry are foot soldiers, and may either be regular or heavy, with heavy infantry being much tougher than normal infantry. A sub-class is the semi-commander unit, which has many abilities like the commander unit but may be built multiple times. There are six types of units: commanders, infantry, heavy infantry, daemons, vehicles, and Titans.Ĭommanders are hero units, and can usually only be built once. All units also have stances these affect how the units respond to enemies. Units are often specialized to be better using one attack type. Most units have a melee attack and a ranged attack.

Parallel to the release of Dark Crusade, THQ also released a triple pack of Dawn of War, Winter Assault, and Dark Crusade, dubbed Dawn of War Anthology.

When considered on its own merits as a cheesy sandbox title designed for the iOS platform, Gangstar Rio has a lot to offer, but despite being the third installment of the series it shows a lack of polish something that would have elevated this game from simply being a copycat to being a series in its own right. The fact that your character's appearance and ability to purchase weapons are almost limited by your respect level only adds to the frustration while limiting the freedoms you have in Gangstar Rio. ![]() 'Respect' is a currency that can also be earned through side-missions and performing dangerous/illegal activities including murder, stun driving and delivering burgers. Story missions are unlocked through a 'respect' system, ultimately allowing you to level up Angel and customize him by improving his health, ability with weapons, and vehicle handling. You'll follow him as he infiltrates his old gang, unraveling a plot involving assassins, drug cartels and corrupt officials all while wearing nothing but breezy shorts and a couple chains. Until the later stages of the game, guns are similarly challenging to use as they fire erratically and 'health meters' swing from green to red seemingly at random.Īll of this is what you will have to contend with as you follow the story of the avenging gangster conveniently given a second chance after 'dying' with the name of Angel. Stopping to jump out of the vehicle and pop a few bad guys in the jaw is no better either as the combat system refuses to allow you to close the gap, often having you swing at empty air in frustration. Unfortunately the hits keep coming as the environment suffers for its poorly designed engine, with building rendering all too late and vehicles literally popping in to existence and falling in to their place even at a moderate jogging speed. It's a beautiful area and one that's perfectly suited to this style of gameplay as it features environments ranging from its beach-y coastline to slums, idyllic hilltops and upmarket shopping districts. The problems are evident early on as you jump in to a sporty vehicle and slide, crash, bounce and yes, even float your way through the back alleys of a permanently sunset drenched Rio cityscape. Unfortunately it's a swing and a miss as no matter how you look at it, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints fails to excite and inspire the same sort of sandbox fun it attempts to emulate. It hardly bears pointing out that the Gangstar series from Gameloft has taken its inspiration from Rockstar's GTA series, but where previous incarnations of Gangstar were happy to simply ape older generations of GTA, the latest version takes a swing at something entirely new. |
