So let’s look at the inspiration behind PvZ. But you should try to innovate too – the best games are a combination of copying, to be familiar, while also trying to be different, to be fresh. Great games like PvZ rarely come from no where. It’s okay to be inspired by other games. And that’s actually the first lesson of this presentation…. In fact, the inspiration started while he was still working at Blizzard, before he joined PopCap. George was working on this in total for nearly 4 years. Really just these 4 people - George, Tod, Rich, and Laura.The other thing that’s unusual about this game is how long it took to create. What’s unusual for a game this popular, however, is how small the team was who built it. He was the designer of the game, and was really involved in nearly every aspect of its creation. So who was the mastermind behind PvZ?This man….One thing that’s unusual is how well Greater China has done in terms of sales here in APACThis giant spike here is iPhone sales… but what’s unusual is how well Greater China is represented.This is the first time we’ve ever had significant sales revenue from China.We’ve also won a lot of awards for this game….Has anyone see this video in the corner? It’s actually one of my favorite viral videos – a bunch of students from Harbin, China, created a live action recreation of PvZ. What we weren’t prepared for was how popular it would be with fans - here are just a random sampling of some examples of that popularity, mostly images we found on the Internet.Before I start talking about how it was built, let me first share some numbers.This has been the fastest selling game in our history.Since the original PC launch we have launched it on iPhone, iPad, and we just announced this week the Xbox versions is coming soon too.Here’s a quick trailer that shows off the basic game play… Your house is being attacked by Zombies, and the only way to defend yourself is to plant these strange plants which fight for you.Part of what has made the game so successful is its strange sense of humor – it’s a fun game, but it’s also a very funny game. Well, for that one person who has not played it, PvZ is a pretty unusual game.Who here has played PvZ before? Who has NOT played PvZ? Including some secrets about the making of PvZ that have never been shared in public before.So I hope you enjoy this talk as much as I’ve enjoyed making it.But first, I have to ask. Even though I can’t tell you any details yet!!And as part of building this new game, we’ve learned a lot about PvZ, and we’ve thought a lot about why PvZ was such a great game.And so today, I’m going to share with you some of what we’ve learned…. So I can tell you that our team here in Shanghai IS working on a cool new PvZ game just for china…. I was not part of the team that built this game.However, I am responsible for PopCap’s business here in China, as well as the rest of Asia, and in China, this is our most popular game. I wish I could tell you that I personally created Plants vs.Creepy Ghouls and Gardening ToolsAttack of the Vegan Zombies!.Gang Green Thumb (repeat with different spelling).Bloom or Doom: A game of gardens and ghouls.Flower Garden vs The Unholy Zombie Apocolypse.

Sure, the Soldier’s Arquebus is powerful, but it is also slow to reload, and less ubiquitous to Waywatcher’s Long Bow. However the offest lies in speed and a lack of really decent shooting. Also their attacks are the most powerful, especially Bardin’s. It’s a really useful thing as well, since many maps have chasms, drops and narrow walkways, perfect for plunging a few rat-men right to their deserving deaths. They’re perfect for blocking narrow paths with their superior parrying gear and can repel enemies better, than their comrades. They’re essentialy tanks with the ability to use shields and heavy duty melee weapons. I must say that playing her is great fun, especially since she’s a complete pyromaniac nutter who won’t shut up about frying Skaven to cinders.Īll different, all determined and ready to kill some vermin!ĭwarf and Soldier are quite similar. Same with the Sienna, who is probably the weakest melee combatant, but whose ranged attacks, especially when they’re charged up, can leave whole enemy swarms burned to a crisp. He can literally drown the enemy in a hail of lead, however he’s not so tough in close combat, as his blocking leaves much to be desired. The Witch Hunter is a fast melee specialist, with even faster trigger finger. For me that’s very important in any game, since it helps me get into the world that I’m currently exploring.Įach of the heroes has a different play style of course. The entire time there is this feeling of our heroes being alive and not just some avatars, with an occasional line of dialogue. I still remember with fondness the stories about Keith from “L4D 2”, but they pale in comparison to Bardin’s outrageous tales about his cousin Okri and his magnificent deeds. That’s actually really neat, since it’s not something to be easily expected from an online coop game. Each of them is very colorfoul and well developed, through in game dialogue and interactions with other players. There are five heroes available, including a Witch Hunter Victor Saltzpyre, Soldier Markus Kruber, Wood Elf Waywatcher Kerillian, Bright Wizard Sienna Fuegonasus and Dwarven Ranger Bardin Goreksson. The situation is grim and perilous, but with your power combined, and a bit of help from a friendly “Red Moon” Tavern owner Franz Lohner (who might or might not be an imperial intelligence operative), you will be able to free the city from mangy rat-men and postpone the apocalyptic End Times, for just a bit. “Vermintide” let’s you play with 3 of your friends, as adventurers who just arrived in the town of Ubersreik in the Empire, a place recently invaded by the hordes of Skaven from clan Fester. If you've ever wondered what Rihanna's tattoos mean, keep reading as we take you through each one. The noses behind this fragrance are Caroline Sabas and. Fans of the singer are consistently using Rihanna's tattoos to inspire their own ink. Rebl Fleur Perfume by Rihanna, Rebl Fleur is a chypre fruity fragrance that was launched in 2011. Reb’l Fleur was followed by Rebelle, Nude, and Rogue, as well as the flanker Rogue Love. Its name drew on the memory of Rihanna’s grandmother calling her a Rebel Flower, and the bottle was inspired by the shape of a shoe’s stiletto heel. (He got the same design on his arm.) While the circumstances surrounding her new tattoo may be a bit awkward, she has over a dozen others that are pretty meaningful as well. Her debut scent, Reb’l Fleur, was released in 2010. In 2021, she was spotted out in New York City on a date with boyfriend A$AP Rocky when fans noticed that the crown tattoo on her left ankle was actually a cover-up for the camouflage shark she'd gotten with Drake.Īccording to E! News, Rihanna went to New York City's Bang Bang Tattoo in 2016 to get the shark in honor of one of her dates with the rapper, during which he took her to an aquarium in Toronto and bought her a toy shark. On her right ankle, the singer has a falcon design, and on her left used to be a camouflage shark that she got with Drake back. Daring, sexy and truly memorable, Rebl Fleur is as much in tune with Barbados-born Rihannas roots as it is with the glamour of her present life in New. Most recently, Rihanna's hand tattoo was front and center when she announced that she would be headlining the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, and before that, the singer had the internet in a frenzy over one of her designs. Rihanna's ankle tattoos are just as famous as the ones on her hands. Her body art has been the topic of headlines more than once. If there's one thing we know about Rihanna, it's that she's a big fan of tattoos and body art. Many of Rihanna's tattoos have meanings.Rihanna's neck tattoo is often visible when her hair is up.Rihanna is well-known for her love of tattoos. Microsoft launched a new unified Office app for iPhone back in February. It’s safe to assume that the upcoming perpetual version of Office will have a similar offering.Īt this time, Microsoft hasn’t shared details regarding the price, exact availability, or name of the next perpetual version of Office. Office 2019 comes with quite a few apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Skype for Business, as well as servers such as Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business. Luckily for those who prefer a perpetual license, a new version is on the way. Microsoft usually releases perpetual updates to Office every few years, though some were concerned that Office 2019 would be the last perpetual update. While many have moved over to Microsoft 365, some prefer a perpetual license for Office that allows them to purchase a product once and to have it forever. Windows Central says that no details are yet available, but it’s likely to be a similar package to Office 2019. Microsoft Office will also see a new perpetual release for both Windows and Mac, in the second half of 2021. However, Windows Central spotted a single sentence in a Microsoft announcement confirming that we’ll still have the one-time purchase option next year. The tech giant currently offers a range of outright purchase options for both PC and Mac, but it had been feared that Office 2019 might be the last of these. Microsoft has been increasingly pushing users towards its subscription-based Office 365 platform, while downplaying the alternative of a one-time purchase … Those who hate subscription apps will be glad to hear that using Microsoft Office without a subscription will still be possible on the Mac with a new version launching next year. The party's performance began to deteriorate after the 2014 general elections it fought the Lok Sabha election in an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Vijayakant stepped down as leader of the opposition on 21 February 2016, after eight DMDK party MLAs resigned. The large victory also earned recognition and a permanent election symbol from the Election Commission of India. Jayalalithaa's All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), swept the polls, winning 202 seats, with the DMDK winning 29 out of 40 which it contested, and got the opposition status in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly by making it a second largest party in the legislative assembly next only to its ally AIADMK pushing DMK to third position and Vijayakant recognized as the leader of the opposition in the assembly, becoming the first actor to become the leader of the opposition in a state's legislative assembly in India. įollowing widespread corruption, a price rise, a power cut, and allegations of nepotism against the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government, in the 2011 assembly elections, the party, in alliance with parties like the left and former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J. In the 2009 general elections, it contested 40 seats-39 in Tamil Nadu and 1 in Puducherry-without an alliance and lost in all the constituencies with 0.75% of the vote. Other candidates of this party who contested in other constituencies in this election failed. In the 2006 assembly elections, the party contested all 234 seats without an alliance and bagged only one seat with 8.38% of the vote, that of its founder-president Vijayakant from Virudhachalam constituency, who served as a member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. In 2014, the party's founder-president, Vijayakant, took over the position that had previously been vacant. On 17 July 2009, he died of a cardiac arrest. Ramu Vasanthan, who was the state president of the fans' forum, took charge as the general secretary of the party. He assumed the responsibility of the founder-president of the party. The party was founded on 14 September 2005, as Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) by Vijayakant (Captain), a veteran Tamil film star and popular politician.

What's even more impressive, this silly little song became also an international hit: In Australia it was the first song to ever make it to triple platinum and best selling single. But together they made it into the the upper echelons of the US Country music as well as pop charts. Both had been around previously, but neither of them had been very well known. The Making of a Rodeo Clownīack in 1992 Billy Ray Cyrus made Achy Breaky Heart world famous, and the song did likewise to the guy. So I did a quick search to verify it, and indeed, it's true. This IS actually Achy Breaky Heart in Spanish. Even the lyrics sound Achy-Breaky! Then the realization hit me: it's not just the style, the rhythm, and the meaning of the words that are the same. This is how the song starts, the first line translates to: "Don't break my heart any more, my poor heart." and it goes on just like that. However, I still considered Achy-Breaky its worst possible example. Though later, especially once I'd left the States, I started missing it (yeah, it had grown on me, what can I say). Back then Country was my least favorite genre, which I shared with many of my peers, and we loved ripping on it. No, this song sounds more like the north-of-the-border type Country, something I used to refer to, quite disdainfully, as Achy-Breaky-Heart crap, when I first got exposed to it as a teenager. And I don't even mean the Banda, Norteña or Duranguense, which are the preferred genres of rural Mexicans, featuring lots of cowboy hats and western boots. I started wondering why.Įven though the lyrics are in Spanish, the tune sounds more like Country music. and most amazingly, actually enjoys it! Of course this is the only Country song at the whole party, and nobody would actually line-dance to anything else. The weirdest thing, in my opinion, is how here in Mexico everybody immediately hits the dance floor when this song comes up, and proceeds following the correct line-dance steps. However, there is one song among them that despite its popularity doesn't seem to meet the profile: El Payaso de Rodeo, or Rodeo Clown in English. They have become such a mainstay of Mexican culture that calling them the soundtrack of life is no overstatement. I've become quite familiar with these songs, which can't be missed at any party, and for those who can't get enough of them, anytime between parties too. While the food was served, the DJ played nostalgic music from the 50's through the 90's at an acceptable volume, but once dinner was finished, the volume was turned up, and everyone started dancing to the most popular Salsa, and Banda hits from the last few decades. The whole family was invited to this event, which included all the important elements: dashing suits and frilly dresses, spicy food and alcohol, a photo-booth with crazy hats, wigs and huge glasses, and of course lots of music and dancing.

This software allows you to move the location of partitions to put the unallocated space together. If you need to take enough unallocated space from multiple partitions, I recommend you use MiniTool Partition Wizard. If you can take enough unallocated space from one partition, you can shrink that partition in the Windows Disk Management tool. To manage your GNS3 VM better, I recommend you create a separate partition. To run a GNS3 VM, you should install a VM program first, import the GNS3 VM into the VM software, and then set up and configure the GNS3 VM. To run a GNS3 VM, you should do some preparations. In addition, because GNS3 does not support full switch functionality or switch IOS images, you will have to configure your router with NM-16ESW switch modules. For example, it’s hard for beginners and you will have to supply your own IOS (Internetwork Operating System) image to import the correct IOS software for the router you are emulating. Of course, GNS3 also has some disadvantages. Many small and mid-size businesses use GNS3 because this software allows them to create a virtual network right on a PC and conduct experiments with different configurations there rather than on actual hardware. It combines the best features of the existing emulation software (such as Dynamips and Qemu) into a GUI interface and allows you to create an unlimited number of Cisco routing-and-switching lab scenarios. GNS3, short for Graphical Network Simulator-3, is an open-source network software emulator initially released in 2008. With this VM, you can do experiments with different configurations there rather than on actual hardware. This post from MiniTool shows you how to install and run GNS3 VM. It can allow you to create a virtual network right on a PC. |
