![]() Xbox One review code provided by the publisher. See Duke Nukem's Bulletstorm Tour on the Xbox Store.See Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition on the Xbox Store.A Bulletstorm 2 with modern gameplay refinements and improved multiplayer would be truly epic. Let's hope this version sells well enough to justify a sequel. But since so many gamers (including me) missed out on Bulletstorm the first time around, the Full Clip Edition still makes for a fairly compelling package. It's a shame the developers didn't fix up Anarchy mode or add something brand new for players who've already experienced the game. Would benefit from a proper cover system.Anarchy multiplayer is limited and suffers from poor matchmaking.No campaign co-op in a game that cries out for it.The energy leash weapon and Skillshots keep the moment-to-moment gameplay fresh.A thrilling campaign with lots of variety and spectacular set pieces.Looks as good as any current-gen game thanks to fully remastered graphics.Oh, and the Xbox One version currently costs $59.99. You get all of the original DLC, too, and that's pretty much it. They fully remastered the visuals in Unreal Engine 4, bringing high-resolution textures and models to Xbox One with a (generally) 60 FPS frame rate. And that's just what Gearbox has given it with the Full Clip Edition. If any game from a previous generation deserved a second chance, it's Bulletstorm. Things looked a lot brighter back then, and we were all so innocent. Maybe the world wasn't ready for an ultra potty-mouthed shooter set in a dark science fiction future. Execute masterful kills with Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition’s unique combat system that rewards you for performing the most creative and deadly kills imaginable. These targets are mostly doable – my team only failed a few times on the way to Wave 20.īulletstorm was a great game for its time, but mismanagement by original publisher EA kept it from finding an audience. Step into the boots of Grayson Hunt after a crash landing on an old resort planet forces him to make a hard choice: survival or revenge. Fail to reach the target, and the team must replay the wave. Each wave has a score target that can only be reached by performing Skillshots and the occasional co-op Skillshots. ![]() Just wiping out the enemies isn't enough to win in Anarchy mode. Between waves, you can spend points earned on upgrades, a welcome addition to the standard Horde-mode formula. Up to four players can team up in 12 different Anarchy maps with the goal of surviving 20 waves of enemies. It was launched in July 2007 to focus on PC games and was acquired by Gamer Network, a network of sites led by Eurogamer, in May 2017. Still, Bulletstorm does have an online cooperative mode called Anarchy (split-screen is not supported). Rock Paper Shotgun a is a British video game journalism website. Given the general similarities to Gears of War, shared staff between both games, and the story pairing Gray with a partner, it would have made so much sense to allow two players to team up to take the game on. whats frightening is that the game i purchased via steam was so broken in steam because of GFWL i am now throwing a hail mary and trying to run it from Origin. ![]() We tried downloading kernel32.dll and ntdll.The single biggest mistake during Bulletstorm's development is that the campaign has no co-op multiplayer support. ![]() _tmainCRTStartup() 0x89aff078 + 21 bytes Īddress = 0圆7c27034 (filename not found) Īddress = 0圆7e9cec1 (filename not found) GuardedMainWrapper() 0x89853baa + 5 bytes UWindowsClient::CreateViewportFrame() 0x8983f738 + 91 bytes RHICreateViewport() 0x88bf94f6 + 70 bytes įViewport::UpdateViewportRHI() 0x88fc0631 + 61 bytes įWindowsViewport::UpdateRenderDevice() 0x898499b1 + 0 bytes įWindowsViewport::Resize() 0x898481e5 + 0 bytes įWindowsViewport::FWindowsViewport() 0x8983d987 + 0 bytes OK, we can't fix the game, the error file says (not the whole file cuz it was too long but last messages about errors):ġ7:54:34 Log: Loaded 80 behavior tree templatesįD3D11DynamicRHI::InitD3DDevice() 0x8982c6be + 4 bytes įD3D11Viewport::FD3D11Viewport() 0x8981f5e8 + 0 bytes įD3D11DynamicRHI::CreateViewport() 0x89826a7a + 60 bytes Well from the diagnosis, you should be able to google the issue and get a fix quickly. ![]()

On The House Is Burning, Rashad enlists help from collaborators including Lil Uzi Vert, 6LACK, Duke Deuce and Smino, and calls on labelmates SZA and Jay Rock to round out the 16-track album. I’m like, ‘who’s gonna come in right now, and who can I pass this rock to?’ I think I get damn near the best verses anytime somebody gets on my song. There is a parallel between Rashad’s love for teamwork and how he approaches his own artistry. “Being able to be programmed early watching basketball, I kinda appreciated the fundamentals of basketball, and the teamwork aspect,” Rashad says.

One Piece: Fighting Path is a fantastic action and adventure RPG that fantastically translates the world of Luffy and Co. ![]() The game stands out even more when you are in battle, thanks to the fluidity of the animation. Fighting Path has the original series dubbing and 3D graphics that look as if they've been taken from the anime itself. The technical aspect of this RPG is fantastic and is as good as any of the other anime-based games you may have seen on mobile devices. These are heroes that you can upgrade even more, thanks to the different objects and skills tree that lets you increase their strength in any area you want. What's more, there is an enormous group of characters that you can recruit as you go in the game's Story mode, or by using the gacha system to get an unstoppable team of characters. In One Piece: Fighting Path, each character has their own special attacks, so you will enjoy doing legendary techniques like Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gatling, or Zoro's Shishi Sonson. This RPG uses the classic rock-paper-scissors system to decide which characters have advantages or disadvantages over others, so you have to create a balanced team of heroes that can face any adversity. You control a group of up to three characters, similar to other games that are based on anime: free control of the camera in the 3D scenes, moving with the joystick on the left of the screen, and action buttons on the right. The battles in this action RPG really immerse you in the One Piece world. While you explore the One Piece world, you can start conversations with NPCs and other players, as well as look for objects in the environments or go on missions that require certain conditions. The action in One Piece: Fighting Path is divided into two different parts: scene exploration, whether it's on foot or a boat, and the real-time battles. All of this while you learn the basic concepts in the game and navigate through the East Blue. During the tutorial, you will meet Coby and fight against Lady Alvida's crew. Luffy on the day he leaves Foosha Village to embark on his dream of becoming the Pirate King. In this official One Piece videogame, you will relive the original story from the beginning: you start by controlling Monkey D. This is an RPG with real-time battles where you can control Luffy, Zoro, Nami and the rest of the characters from One Piece, the legendary manga created by Eiichiro Oda. One Piece: Fighting Path is a roleplaying game where you can experience a thousand adventures alongside the most famous crew in the history of manga and anime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dealing with a swarm of flying drones that force you to look and aim up means you’re not watching the ground, leaving you a prime target for charging werebulls or kamikazes. Most enemies just run at you and shoot, but a few have distinctive behaviors to counter and can combine to be especially lethal. Every once in a while a decent gag lands, but just as often the script will inexplicably turn completely serious with no punchlines to it and it feels bizarrely out of place. ![]() ![]() I love a good pun more than most, and this wore thin pretty quickly. We get a series of stiffly animated cutscenes in which Sam Stone and his military buddies fight to overthrow an alien overlord in Europe by… finding the Holy Grail, because why not? Sam’s voice sounds like he’s gargling liquid Duke Nukem as he and his allies rattle off an endless barrage of barely funny one-liners, constantly workshopping their comedy out loud. It’s just kind of strafing to the side.For whatever reason, there’s a story that attempts to justify all the weird carnage you’ll cause, and it’s just as much of a jumble as the battles. It layers on a few new ideas like dual wielding and a skill tree, at least, but while Doom has reinvented itself for modern times, Serious Sam seems to revel in neither moving forward nor backward. Sure, 2011’s Serious Sam 3 felt like a goofy throwback to a simpler time, but in 2020 Serious Sam 4’s brand of non-stop run-and-gun shooting feels downright archaic. Serious Sam, I think you have a problem and need an intervention. And like all drugs, it can be dangerous to become reliant on it. ![]() ![]() But is there anything else we know about this error? ![]() If none of these helps, then it's probably time to get in touch with Bungie, to see if they have any additional tips.
![]() ![]() Crippa says prior to this time, "there were no images for these experiences of women". The abortion series, which depicts women in the aftermath of illegal abortions, was so powerful it's been credited with influencing the public to campaign for a second referendum, in 2007, after which abortion was finally legalised in Portugal. "Rego has revolutionised the way in which women's lives and stories are given visual form," notes Alex Farquharson, director of Tate Britain, in the Foreward to the exhibition catalogue. Women, their pleasures and pain, triumphs and trials, have been always been her focus. Rego's feminist sensibilities had been ignited since her teens, when she read Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, among other texts. A love triangle between Rego, Victor and her lover is depicted in her 1981 painting Red Monkey Offers Bear a Poisoned Dove. Their relationship was stormy and complex, with infidelities on both sides. Eventually, she and Willing married and had three children, living in Ericeira on Portugal's west coast, before settling permanently in London. Her father drove all the way to London and took her back to Lisbon, stopping in Paris to buy clothes – Rego's sense of style was inherited from her glamorous mother. He was married, and when Rego became pregnant he was reluctant to leave his wife. "In fact, I would struggle to think of a significant painter, particularly in Britain, where I can't see a connection to Paula."Īt 19, while studying at the Slade in London, she met Victor Willing, and began an affair with the "handsome and charismatic" artist. ![]() "I see in the work of most female painters – particularly in artists who engage with the body – and with women's position in the world," she says. "Ĭrippa, who is curator of modern and contemporary British art at Tate Britain, believes Rego's influence has been wider and cuts deeper than is often acknowledged. "She belongs to a category of artists who are fully and consistently producing work, incredibly rare for a female artist. ![]() "Paula lived for her work," Crippa tells BBC Culture. Luckily I had nice people to look after them."Įlena Crippa, who curated the Tate retrospective with Rego and others, recounts how the artist fell in with the "big boys" – including David Hockney and Frank Auerbach – when she exhibited with the London Group in the 1960s. About her "feminine" side, she adds: "I had children and I love them and all that. ![]() In fact, I had a Robin Hood outfit," she jokes. Just as I'd wanted to be Robin Hood and not Maid Marion. I wanted to be in the big boys' club, with the great painters I admired. "Women were there to be partners and supporters for their artist husbands. So how does she see her female side? "In the 1950s, the consensus was that women couldn't be artists – the pram in the hallway and all that," she replies. Rego once described the painter in her as her "masculine side". Charming, superbly accomplished, sometimes even decorative, or apparently so – her artworks may appear innocent on the surface, but look closer and you'll likely find some underlying horror, a vicious twist to the story, as fingers are snipped off or a tail is garrotted. Rego's radical art bristles with unsettling imagery, a sense of the "beautiful grotesque", as she has put it. In Rego's realm you might meet cartoon-like people, but there's no sweet fairytale ending, more a sting in the tale. Welcome to the fabulous, imaginative world of Portuguese fine artist Paula Rego – a heady and hypnotic place of symbolism and secrets, drama and comedy, fantasy and magic. Figures with toy rabbit-heads stumble, bloodied and injured, through a surreal battlefield. A bride reclines on a bed, with her white dress raised provocatively her expression is more agony than ecstasy. A woman crouches on all fours, snarling like a dog. ![]() ![]() ![]() It makes my heart sing knowing that each person can walk through and create their own feeling of magic." Their experience is entirely personal, and I think that’s what I’m most proud of with this artwork. "This is a multi-sensory and physical experience where the visitor is completely submerged in sound and light – a vortex of serenity. "No two people will have the same experience in Kaleidoscope," explains Keith Courtney. Like its iconic namesake, this giant, human-sized kaleidoscope contains internal mirrors, luminous glass, and translucent beads of colour, so as the light shifts and the delicate tubular structure rotates, an entirely unique, refractive interplay takes shape. While the sun shines, Kaleidoscope is a sparkling crystal playground of wonder, and as the sun sets, visitors become part of a spectacular colour field of light under the night sky. Now it’s Sydney’s turn to step inside the intricately formed, ever-shifting optical illusion designed to be enjoyed by all ages, day and night. Since premiering at Arts Centre Melbourne in 2022 as part of Rising festival, the breathtaking 700-square-metre structure has toured six Australian cities from Brisbane to Bendigo to Bathurst, with over 160,000 people around the country experiencing the mesmerising symphony of light and sound.

Sydneysiders, get ready to colour your world – you don’t have to wait for the next edition of Vivid Sydney to explore this illuminating installation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Naturally, though, we need a jumping off point for the popular perception of trench warfare and if you’ve paid any attention to the thumbnail you already know what it is: the iconic no-man’s-land scene from Wonder Woman (2017).Ī quick walk-through of what I think are the key points in the scene here. Nevertheless, even within an unsolvable problem one may discern different degrees of quality, in part in the speed with which someone realizes that the problem is unsolvable and adjusts accordingly. I may run a B-side addendum to these posts on why I think Cadorna deserves this unique dishonor, especially given how stiff the competition in WWI is for terrible generalship.) On the other hand, as will soon become apparent, I think that, quite to the contrary of the popular perception that this or that easy solution was available, many WWI generals were presented by what was a fundamentally unsolvable problem, at least unsolvable with the technologies and armies they had to work with. (For what it is worth, I generally consider Luigi Cadorna, Italian chief of Staff 1914-1917, to have been the worst general I know of. If you are expecting a all-round defense of WWI generalship, you will not find it here while there has been a tendency of historians to revisit (fairly, I think) the tarnished reputations of many of the commanders of WWI, I think it is also broadly indisputable that the First World War saw more than its share of stunning command incompetence. One thing I should note I am not going to do here is discuss specific battles or specific generals. This is both to set the groundwork for the next post, which will discuss the ways that this stalemate was and wasn’t broken, but it also serves to handily dismiss some of the "easy" solutions that are often offered which don’t solve the actual problem but merely solve the imaginary one. ![]() This week, we’re going to look at the problem: both the popular perception of what the problem is and what the actual problem of trench warfare is. What I want to focus on here is the disconnect between the popular conception of how trench warfare actually worked and the actual conditions that produced trench warfare. Yet precisely because it was so formative, World War I, its generals, tactics, and battles are often shrouded in national myths and unquestioned assumptions. Nevertheless, the experience of the Western Front was extremely important the disaster of the First World War both broke and made nations. The Eastern Front, for instance, was always too large for this (though trench systems developed in areas of frequent fighting), while battles in Mesopotamia and the Levant always had the desert as a vast, open (but also logistically challenging) flank. ![]() Of course the war was much larger than that, and while trenches, machine guns and artillery appeared everywhere in the war, not all fronts devolved into the static trench warfare of the Western Front. That trench stalemate is, in many countries, synonymous with the war itself. This week (and next) I want to build a bit off of our discussion of Victoria II and talk a bit about World War I and in particular the trench stalemate on the Western Front. Part I: No-Man's-Land, the Trench Stalemate I added some imagery from the film for this introduction to Devereaux's article. In my opinion, that particular film has some of the best examples of trenches and no-man's-land ever captured in a Hollywood film. In doing so, he draws on the imagery and some of the practical details of the trenches incorporated into the 2017 film Wonder Woman. In his two-part in-depth analysis of trench warfare he looks at how the trench system came apart and how they were eventually broken. His articles have been published in Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic, The National Interest, and numerous academic journals.

The seeker successfully brings Odette and Jean-Bob to Zelda's lair. Zelda casts a seeker to find Odette, while Whizzer is sent to deliver a ransom note to Derek. Zelda questions Whizzer and learns that Derek tore off the remaining portion and has it hidden. To her dismay, the notes are incomplete and prevent her from gaining full power. That night, Zelda steals the chest with Rothbart's notes and flees. Rogers falls in love with Zelda and invites her to stay at the castle, despite the reservations of Queen Uberta. She flirts and charms Lord Rogers with a story about how she had escaped a king who kept her locked up and play the accordion constantly. The film was seemingly the end in the series, until 2012, when it followed by another direct-to-DVD sequel: The Swan Princess Christmas.Īfter Whizzer informs Zelda, she goes to the castle pretending to be an "accordion slave". It was the last film in the series to use traditional 2D animation. ![]() The overseas production was handled by Hanho Heung-Up, a South Korean animation studio that provided cel painting service for the original film, and also animated the first direct-to-video sequel, The Swan Princess: Escape from Castle Mountain. with all the other characters being re-cast. This sequel features the returning voices of Nicastro and Steve Vinovich from the first film, which would be the last time, with the former's death in 2010. This film follows Derek and Odette having to deal with Zelda, a sorceress, who is seeking the Forbidden Arts and wishes to use it to destroy their happiness. It was directed again by Richard Rich, and features the voices of Michelle Nicastro and Brian Nissen as Odette and Derek. It conveys the internal turmoil between adhering to tradition and following one's heart.The Swan Princess III and the Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure, alternatively titled The Swan Princess: The Mystery of the Enchanted Kingdom, is a 1998 American animated direct-to-video musical adventure film and the third installment in The Swan Princess franchise. Overall, "This Is My Idea" is a relatable song which captures the mix of emotions felt by those being pushed into arranged marriages or forced situations. ![]() The song also shows how their reluctance turns into acceptance, as they start to see each other in a new light and begin to appreciate each other's company. They both feel like they have no say in their futures and are struggling with the idea of being forced to marry someone they barely know. The song conveys their ambivalent feelings towards each other and the pressure they feel to agree to their parents' wishes. They both resent their parents for forcing them together but also cannot stop thinking about each other. Derek initially expresses his displeasure at being "stuck with her all summer" by belittling her skills and hoping he doesn't contract chickenpox, while Odette expresses her disdain for him by thinking he looks "conceited." However, as the song progresses, we see that the two of them start to have mixed feelings about each other. The song "This Is My Idea" from the Swan Princess movie expresses the reluctance of the two main characters, Odette and Derek, to be obligated to spend time together throughout the summer. ![]() What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion I see him smiling and my knees start buckling What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
