![]() They all clock in at a budget-friendly price. None of them have the low-grade shovelware feel that afflicted so many older collections. The timeless Galaga, featuring a screen border that creates a convincing illusion of the original arcade bezel when seen on the Switch core unit.Īll of these releases have one important thing in common: They speak to a different mindset than the compilations of the ’90s and ’00s. We've seen a handful of anthologies in recent years - SEGA's 3D Classic Collection for 3DS, and Capcom's Mega Man and Disney collections (the most recent of which launches today) - and the recent release of Namco Museum for Switch means Namco has skin in the game again as well. But don't hold your breath for a standalone rendition of, say, Three Wonders or even Magic Sword.įortunately, the tide seems to be turning slowly back in favor of the compilation concept. Capcom will happily repackage Street Fighter II, because that will sell. Sure, there are exceptions - see the ultra-niche titles that comprise Hamster's Arcade Classic Archives series on PlayStation 4 and Switch - but when it comes to larger publishers, forget about it. Standalone releases from larger companies generally only happen for notable or popular games, the ones publishers see potential profit in posting individually. Besides the appeal of offering a healthy selection of vintage arcade works in a single package, compilations also provided other benefits. Even so, I can't help but feel that with the disappearance of the retro anthology concept, we lost something precious. Maybe you just want to play Strider without having to scroll past 1942 to select it. There's certainly merit to the idea of buying classics singly. The advent of digital distribution prompted publishers to explore the a la carte approach to reissuing old games, and long-running compilation series like Namco Museum and Capcom Classics dried up. The idea of classic games compilations more or less died off during the previous console cycle. ![]() Mission control for retronauts former EIC of 1UP.com and taking dapper (and frogs) back from the Nazis.

And remember, “you don’t need to launch today.” If you really want advice on how to run a successful Kickstarter campaign, then I recommend you read every blog post in this section. It might be twice as much work on your part, but not 10 times as much. However, if you set out with a more realistic goal of $50K, and happened to overfund to $500K, the amount of work doesn’t increase 10 times over. If you set out with a goal of $500K, you may have trouble getting there. But you need to do that because you want to make it the best version of your project possible, not with the goal of raising more money.Īs for the work behind running a mega campaign, I can’t speak from experience, but I imagine the amount of work doesn’t increase linearly with the funding total. You can definitely hope that your project becomes a mega project, and do everything in your power to increase the popularity of the project. They have goals more along the likes of $50K, and then happen to overfund because of their popularity. You do this by determining the smallest amount of funds you need to turn your idea into a reality, and setting that as your goal.įrom my observations, few Kickstarter campaigns set out with the goal of making $500K. If you have an idea, you can then choose to use Kickstarter as a platform to see that idea realized. You don’t set out to run a Kickstarter campaign that raises $500K. It sounds to me like you’re approaching this from the wrong direction. What form PR or social media strategy you think I should focus on? Let’s say, I do have an idea that can interest many people to participate, with a vast demographic, how in the world I drag people into the Kickstarter page? For me this is the most important key of a Kickstarter, and I need to say “successful” solutions do not work necessary on different kind of projects… or they do? But at the same time, I find out that even Kickstarter authors of $1M+ projects, sometimes they don’t have a team! Or just 1 or 2 more people! And I am thinking “how is that possible?” So, I previously did a “small” Kickstarter and accomplish a $25,000 Goal, but now I would like to try a new one in a much bigger scale, let’s say over $500,000 and I am a bit perplexed… It was already a huge stress and amount of work (24h) to raise $25K, if I multiply the effort I need to do for $500K it will become impossible for one person (I will have practically enough time to push it).

In the service provider MPLS network configuration, the router BGP "address-family ipv4 mdt" option automatically creates multipoint (and/or point-to-point depending on your setup) GRE tunnels within your MPLS domain and these dynamically created tunnels transfer customer-A multicast traffic to/from source to destination. ![]() Only the customer has the RP configured at one of the hub sites (if you want redundancy, select another customer-A site for the redundant RP). I run multicast over an MPLS hub and spoke configuration and I do not have an RP configured within the MPLS cloud. Assuming Cisco, Under router BGP, you will need address-family ipv4 mdt and the peers will be your remote PE routers loopback0 address. The PE routers will peer via the loopback0 address to each designated PE peer via iBGP. The MPLS "P" routers (the actual core of the MPLS network) will need multicast enabled as well, if "P" routers are Cisco, just "ip multicast-routing" is all you will need on the "P" routers (unless you need more control). If you enabled multicast on ALL customer-A sites, then you will need to enable all customer-A VRFs for multicast - VRFs are configured on the PE router for MPLS. ![]() ![]() Now, as the service provider, you will need to enable the multicast parameters on customer-A VRFs - enable multicast parameters on each customer-A VRF where you enabled multicast on the customer-A sites. If customer-A wants multicast at every site, then enable at every customer-A site (Routers and switches). If customer-A wants to use a multicast enabled application, enable multicast on each customer-A site where customer-A wants to use the multicast enabled application. ![]() Add your favorite applications to the default creator and type lists.įinderIconCM Contextual menu plugin for MacOS X that let's you copy/paste/clear icon from selected items (volumes/folders/files) without opening Finder's Get Info dialog.įirstClassClient offers a unique set of integrated applications and tools that enable businesses and education organizations to create powerful online communities for communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.įixDVD - AppleScript droplet that fixes DVDs to skip FBI warning, previews, etc.įocus Did you ever wonder what your frontmost application is?

Vendors hawk Bugman’s Beer in the stands, ads from corporate sponsors cover the walls, Cabalvision TV crews jockey for the perfect shot, and cheerleaders hype up the crowd. There’s so much to take in at the stadium that it’s worth just sitting back and enjoying the pregame flyover before having to focus on gameplay. Graphics & SoundĮven in beta, Blood Bowl 3 is the best-looking version of the game yet. Much of the gameplay is built around risk management – like in real football, gutsy trick plays can score big and thrill the crowd, but when they fail it can cost an entire game. This is important, because failing any roll causes a Turnover, ending your turn immediately. No overtime means draws are a real possibility.Įach play is resolved by dice rolls, and the game makes it easy to understand what’s being rolled and what the chances of success are. The team that scores the most touchdowns by the end of the second half (i.e., after each player has had 16 turns) is the winner. The titular sport is loosely inspired by American football, but is most certainly its own entity loose balls lie on the field until picked up, there are no field goals, and brutally murdering the opposing players is legal (and indeed, encouraged). Like its predecessors, Blood Bowl 3 skillfully adapts the tabletop game using the most recent ruleset, taking care of the bookkeeping so the player can focus on the action. Gameplay The field is about to get another stain. ![]() I recently had the opportunity to participate in the closed beta for the third iteration of Blood Bowl‘s digital version by Cyanide Games, getting an early look at what works – and what doesn’t. Blood Bowl, their Warhammer spinoff where the conflicts of the Old World are resolved in a violent death sport rather than on the battlefield, is one of their longest-standing classics. I’ve been playing Games Workshop’s tabletop games for almost twenty years now, and while they certainly have their flaws they’re always fun to play and full of flavor. Another season of the Old World’s favorite pastime begins… The uncut "Das Boot" adds more waiting and forces the viewer to endure the daily trauma and monotony of the crew members. Peterson once said that "the fully restored mini-series will be even more shocking and affecting for audiences" and while it does enriches the experience to a whole new level, it is not for everyone. Peterson basically cut out the opening and closing credits of the TV series and stitched all the footage together into a humongous continuous feature film. With the introduction of DVD technology, Peterson quickly released the film "as it was originally intended to be seen." The original uncut version runs at 4 hours and 42 minutes in length and is the most complete version available yet. Depending on whether you like it or not, I would go for the ultimate and last version of the film. I recommend the Director's Cut to viewers who are yet to embark on this brilliant drive. This version is far superior to the original theatrical version and the result is nothing short of a great film. The additional footage before and after the key battle scenes perks up the previous release with more fully realized character development. The Director's Cut also features improved sound and better picture quality. In 1997, Peterson revisited the film and released a Director's Cut clocking in at 3 hours and 20 minutes. ![]() So in short, avoid the original theatrical release at all costs. It was never meant to be seen as an all-out action flick but rather a long epic voyage into torturous warfare. You get all the action sequences but don't see what leads to them, which is a shame because "Das Boot" is about the journey leading up to the destination. ![]() Watching the 145-minute original theatrical version is the equivalent of watching game highlights when you miss a 90-minute sports match. This heavily edited version is the worst version available and yet it earned the film six Academy Award nominations. ![]() ![]() The original theatrical version that came out in 1982 is a trimmed down version of a six-hour mini-series that aired on German television the year before. ![]() ![]() Southeast Live Doppler Radar from the N.W.S.

Scientists in China say US government crackdown is harming collaborationsĪndrea Liu, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, is disappointed by the large disparities recorded by the survey in the attitudes of Chinese versus non-Chinese scientists. “The differences are undeniable in ways that are quite profound for those of Chinese descent,” Lee says.

About 40% were not Chinese, and one-quarter did not report their racial or ethnic background. Of the respondents, one-third identified as being of Chinese descent. The project was supported by the Committee of 100, an organization of Chinese American leaders in New York City. “The study makes clear that the effects are far-reaching.” Far-reaching effectsīetween May and July 2021, 1,949 scientists working in the United States participated in the survey, the results of which were released on 28 October in a white paper. “We’ve seen anecdotal evidence about the chilling effects of the China Initiative,” says Ashley Gorski, a senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union in New York City. They have also warned that researchers of Chinese descent feel unduly scrutinized because of their race and ethnicity, which amounts to racial profiling. The US government has said the goal of the effort is to stop the theft of US trade secrets by the Chinese government.īut civil-rights groups and individual researchers have warned that the US government’s scrutiny of scientists under this programme has hampered valuable scientific collaborations with researchers in China. The China Initiative, launched under former US president Donald Trump, has led to several well-publicized arrests of scientists since 2018, often over links to collaborators or institutions in China. US civil-rights group offers support to researchers facing China scrutiny “What we wanted to do was actually seek out the evidence.” ![]() Lee is one of the co-authors of the survey and related report. “There was a lot of broad speculation about this idea,” says Jenny Lee, a social scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, who studies research collaborations and geopolitics. The US government’s search for spies in laboratories and businesses has stoked fear among scientists of Chinese descent and damaged collaborations with researchers in China, according to a survey of nearly 2,000 scientists.
