Duke Nukem is an alien ass-kicking badass. If you are looking for a comparable FPS to the offerings on the market today, as far as depth of environment, gameplay and strategy - this game is not those things. That's what you have to be looking for when purchasing and playing this game. It's a "charge into a room and beat an alien with your fists then kick his freaking head off" game. It's not a free roaming quest based FPS like Far Cry. It's not a take-cover-and-pick-your-shots game like Gears of War or Call of Duty. It hearkens back to the days of Quake and Doom, run-and-gun action mixed with chaos, constant unadulterated chaos. Duke Nukem Forever is not the FPS game of today, it's the FPS game of yesteryear. You see, the standard for FPS games has changed. I know what I like, and I like to blow s-t up. ![]() Is this going to be another less-than-favorable review? Hell, no. So by now you are probably wondering what I think of the game. Nothing like getting threatened on Twitter with a possible blacklisting in reply to a negative review. Plus, I don't have to deal with the fallout from the PR firm handling this release and their not-so-wise snub of reviewers who gave Duke a less than favorable write-up (almost all of them). How can I follow that with similar sentiments? Fact is, his review for the most part is spot on. I think Chris Kohler over at Game|Life summed up the game pretty nicely. I think in the end, it was a good thing I got the copy a bit late and wasn't obligated to write a review. And since I no longer am reviewing a Maingear PC, I don't have a computer that can handle the requirements on the PC version. I got my copy of Duke a week late, since they sent the PC version instead of the Xbox 360 version. Of course I'm talking about Duke Nukem Forever, but unlike my colleagues around the Internet, this isn't a straightforward review. For twelve years we've seen this project go from the most amazing property ever, to a massive failure, to the king of vaporware. For twelve years the pressure has been building. I don't think I've anticipated a game release this much since Space Quest V. Some of the language used may be inappropriate for young readers.

![]() Furthermore, all these temporary licenses will not renew automatically, so this isn’t a subscription. To ease the pain, the clock only starts ticking when you actually activate your purchased license, yo you can buy now and activate it the minute you need it on set. You will also get all updates within your licensed timeframe, of course. Licenses can be migrated to other Macs, too. Bundled with these licenses comes free e-mail support and access to Pomfort’s comprehensive knowledge base. But if you need the Offload Manager just for one project, a short-term license ( 14 days for $35 / 29 € or one month for $49 / 42 €) might be a better fit. If you’re using such a software all day, every day, the $139 (119 €) asking for a 1-year license might offer a good value. This is of course unfortunate but it is as it is. We’re proud that Patrick Renner, Pomfort’s Co-founder and Head of Product, was among this year’s honorees, receiving a medal award for his work. Pomfort Silverstack Offload Manager is only available as a one-year or as a short-term license. On October 27th, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) once again granted multiple awards during the gala of their yearly SMPTE Summit conference in Hollywood, CA. Other solutions such as Hedge for example offer an even cleaner UI but sometimes I find it too minimal. I think it’s clean, yet provides sufficient information at a glance. ![]() However, if your machine can provide the needed performance and USB or Thunderbolt lanes, this feature will dramatically speed up your offloading workflow.Įverything else stays about the same: Rock-solid checksum verification, extended reporting and the streamlined interface. Just adding a multi USB hub to one single USB port won’t get you blazing fast transfer speeds. ![]() This feature depends on quite powerful hardware of course. You can define how many sources you need and then just add offloading jobs to the (parallel) queue. Version 1.1 now adds a small yet mighty feature: parallel offloading from multiple sources. Just a word of warning for Windows or Linux users: Silverstack Offload Manager is Mac only. If you are new to the Silverstack Offload Manager, you can read (and watch) our coverage here. The relatively new Silverstack Offload Manager uses the same offloading and verification engine as the mighty Silverstack / Silverstack XT but without anything beyond offloading and reporting. Pomfort is known for their high-end software covering everything a professional DIT might need on set. Now version 1.1 is ready and it comes with a small, yet powerful feature: Offload footage from multiple sources in parallel, increasing your workflow significantly while maintaining the rock-solid checksum verification, of course. Back in 2018, Pomfort released their standalone offloading tool Sliverstack Offload Manager. With photo ground in use, the buildings jut up from a low res image. Pictures instead of words (in FSX, can't recall which is which city, but one would be Osaka!) -ġ. There were a few exceptions but too minor to ruin the overall effect. ![]() Or install, check it out, and deactivate or keep as you prefer.Īs I said above, in general the 3D objects sit quite nicely with Orbx Vector's land/water boundaries and highways. So it's easy - don't install the photo scenery pack. One archive is the 3D scenery (e.g "KOBE.zip"), the other is the photo (ground) scenery (e.g. I'm referring to the city sceneries from which is the site linked to by in your first post, above.Įach city has two downloads (one has three). Which file are the photoscenery in johnfromoz? I want to try what you did. I hope you are able to find the time to fly and pop in a bit more Moonman In the mean time I'll take a look a what else is available. Is there a better mesh available for the region other than the world-wide products?. I tend to fly in more rural areas anyway, so a few urban areas that suffer from poor data, for whatever reason, is something I can overlook. apart from the obvious inaccuracy around the docks, the overall picture of Toyko, when you compare it to the Google map is actually more realistic on the whole, with the smaller buildings in the wider urban area being more accurate than the taller ones used by default. I think you are right about the Haruo landclass. At least i always litterally loved flying around there, when i had more time for simming. If You have a good mesh for Japan installed too, i am sure that You will really like the landscapes there as they are really fantastic. So in my opinion, some kind of mixture between "default" and "Haruo LC" would look best.Ī Japan LC package would be most welcome!īy the way: If times permit, please feel free to check out the islands/prefectures Shikoku, Kyushu and Hokkaido. We have to bare in mind that Japan is often hit by severe earthquakes and although there are, without any doubt, a lot of large and high buildings shaping modern japanese cityscapes, smaller houses and buildings are also very, very present there and typical/common for japanese cities. Because other than that i have to say that - at least in my opinion - the Haruo LC representation of Tokyo looks quite good compared to "reality" - especially because it is carefully considering "lower and smaller" houses/buildings. Now i am no expert here at all, but maybe this kind of industrial/harbour area was not clearly defined as an industrial/harbour area but rather as some kind of rural, less populated or park/recreation area, hence the use of greener/rural texture tiles on top. Maybe the "green area" was caused due some "error" within the landclass data used for this (otherwise indeed overall superb) Japan-LC package. Well worth watching on the iPlayer if you can. and that is likely because there is a low percentage of English speakers in the population.įor those in the UK there has been some truly wonderful programs on the BBC about Japanese art and culture over the past few weeks. If there are lots of Japanese simmers then they don't seem to make themselves known. I think the default landclass works better in Tokyo anyway. note how much more green there is, and also the tall buildings have been largely replaced by much smaller ones. This is what I get using the Haruo landclass. The main downside is the inappropriate green patches. ![]() The cityscapes then rise among autogen suburbs, and we get some nice castles, as well, which sit nicely on Vector. I'm perfectly happy with jjaycee's recommendation, with the photoreal switched off. However, Mark rightly points out that the warehouses, tank farms and so on all seem to sit in pretty rural fields imposed by the landclass. The freeways from the packs seem redundant to me.Īll in all, the cityscapes on the Japan landclass, without the photo backdrop, work for me. At Kobe I had a few dockyard cranes in the water at one point, and occasionally a building overlaps a highway a little. However, with the photo scenery deactivated, the 3D objects in general sit very well in Orbx Vector. A distribution of autogen might have taken the edge off that effect. ![]() With the photo scenery, the nice 3D objects jut up from a low res ground image. Thanks jjaycee, I took your advice and have the landclass and the city packages installed (except Tokyo, as yet). There is the Haruo Japan Lanclass package which enhances the default Japan, plus there are many freeware airports if you look in somewhere like Freewarescenery plus some airports and a good cityscape of Tokio. The set is visibly cold as the children begin shaking. ![]() Specifically, the door into the common area where the show takes place opens and closes twice, and an alternate set door which is never seen on the show opens once. The school doors around them start to open and close like a set malfunction. There are bottles of seemingly spoiled milk near the door. They seem to want to know if Barney is playing a trick, so they start to act as though it's a game of hide and seek. "HAVE YOU SEEN ME?" is written on the wall in large, cartoon letters. "Where is he?" The child actors, a collection of boys and girls of young ages varying in race, all seem visibly shaken. Eventually the door opens and they go inside. One of them gets a knife from next to the sandcastle and tries to jimmy the lock. They punch at the windows, grab at the door, and one of them even starts to cry. The entire first three minutes are the children trying desperately to get into the building. The children are outside of the main building and going to meet Barney, but the door won't open. I may upload it one of these days, if I ever get my hands on a VHS tape converter. It was in a box of VHS tapes that had sticker markings meaning it was ripped from TV off of one of those late night channels, meaning someone was probably broadcasting it independently. Well, the creator of the show was kicking around with many different producers before the show aired on PBS, but with that said I still have absolutely no idea of how I got this tape in my possession. ![]() The show was always surrealistic, with a large purple Tyrannosaurus Rex trying to project happiness onto a group of children who are alone in a building with no parents in sight. What a lot of people don't know is that the show was originally developed as a small concept that was only meant to have ten episodes. You probably remember the TV show "Barney and Friends" which is still in syndication, though new episodes have not been produced since 2009. Written by Schizima, for narration on the DaveTheUseless YouTube channel. Nevertheless, we’ll try to keep it short and friendly. Some are related to its setup while others describe the tool and its features. In our review, we are walking you through some interesting details about Luminar. Pros You can customize your panels individually Grants you an extensive level of control It packs a handy RAW converter AI technology for quick and effective photo editing sessions Cons Doesn't let you choose lens profiles Not as fast as Lightroom or Photoshop We’re not going to list their system requirements here, but it shouldn’t be too hard for you to find them.

If you plan on using it as a plugin, it goes without saying that your system must meet the requirements of the host apps.

Like any other specialized software solution, Luminar too has a list of system requirements. So it’s not a type of situation where you feed the program with images and it returns photos that were edited by a god-like creature without any contribution on your part whatsoever.īut enough small talk, let’s go into more detail. What makes this tool special is that although it uses AI technologies, you’re still in control. The latest version of this tool, Luminar 4, even comes with AI technologies to simplify your workflow even further. ![]() Luminar is a powerful photo editing tool that you can use in both its forms: standalone or plugin.

Lots of old-school sound-making and nods to classic Disney History here. Disney has pulled out all the stops to make this ride feel authentic and classic. And we’ll also be hearing the tabletop cranking device used for the train sounds in Dumbo. Even the whistle, used in the 1928 short Steamboat Willie will be used as the train whistle in this ride. Lots of scrapes, bangs and kabooms await. In addition to the catchy song, we’ll also get to hear classic sounds from the olden days of movie-making. “Nothing can stop us now” is all about how Mickey and Minnie can handle anything! The goal? Give riders something sincere, simple, and singable. Ready for a song as catchy as “It’s a Small World”? Christopher Willis, the genius behind the compositions currently heard in the Mickey shorts, has scored the ride. This trackless ride will bring you through scenes familiar in the cartoons. The design of the ride is meant to feel hand-drawn and aims to pull riders into the cartoon right alongside Mickey and Minnie as they go on their journey. The ride aims to show that relationship in the same way. ![]() Emmy is award-winning, these cartoons share the perfect Mickey and Minnie dynamic with them as real partners. The ride look and design are based on the 1930’s animation of the Mickey shorts airing on Disney Plus now. Much like how we saw in The Great Movie Ride, riders watch a short cartoon before entering the ride. Thankfully Mickey and Minnie have each other and teamwork gets them, and us, out of this mess. Goofy gets hold of a train and all sorts of shenanigans ensue. The story opens up with our favorite power couple on their way, in their little red convertible, to a special place for a very perfect picnic. This ride brings guests into the world of a Mickey and Minnie’s cartoon called Mickey Mouse in A Perfect Picnic. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Story Line Especially as other popular rides in the park – Slinky Dog, and Rise of the Resistance will still be competing for guest time. In the future, we’d anticipate waits to be closer to 30-60 minutes. At the opening, the longest waits were around the 2-½ hour mark. In a standby queue, you can expect to wait between 30-90 minutes. ![]() Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a beautiful, fun, and charming trackless ride, perfect for the whole family.

Next to my husband and 2 beautiful children, the work that I've done at SYNNEX is my proudest accomplishment. When I started my career after leaving Clemson, I did not plan to be at the same organization for 15 years. ![]() I am especially thankful to the teammates I have today because without them, I would truly be nowhere: Amanda Bellinger Jason Hall Brian Dyar Laura Powell Teresa Stovall Catherine Flagg Mallory McFerron Damon Mims Scott Brock Scott Mabry Alexandra Lescano Katherine Byram Will Fuqua Carlie Eastman Lydia Burgess Melissa (Missy) Clayton April Petty Marita Buckner Christina Huff David McCarter, Eddie Franklin, and Steven Jow who developed me into a sales person and gave me the opportunity to do something I really love which is build a team, mentor, and lead. Special thanks to Mike VanGieson and Denna Lambke for seeing something in me 15 years ago and saying "We want you at SYNNEX." They gave me a chance that I'm eternally grateful for. I am continually thankful for the many people along the way that taught, mentored, and have walked beside me in this journey. Tech Data had been acquired by a private equity firm about 18 months ago and those money guys – Apollo – are also behind this deal.On Saturday, I will be celebrating 15 years at SYNNEX. ![]() I don’t know that world all that well, but believe the future Tech Data-Synnex entity would collectively be the largest of its kind, jumping past Ingram Micro and Arrow in revenues and employees. “Rest assured that we have a plan for a seamless integration of the two companies in place, and both teams have deep experience in this area.”ĭistribution companies are hugely important parts of the digital signage ecosystem, but they kind of operate quietly, doing their thing with vendors. “We will continue to provide the excellent service that you have become accustomed to and please know that the team supporting you today will remain the same,” adds Polk. IT solutions firm Synnex Corp (SNX.N) said on Monday it will merge with peer Tech Data in a deal worth about 7.2 billion, including debt, creating one of the worlds biggest IT distribution. The deal has to be approved by shareholders and regulators. I look forward to working alongside Rich going forward. I will be the Executive Chair of the Board of Directors, with an active role in the ongoing strategy, integration, and Hyve business, among other responsibilities. I can also share with you that Rich Hume, CEO of Tech Data will be the CEO of the combined company. We believe this transaction will allow us to provide you with more solutions and capabilities as we look to make increased investments in high-value areas of growth like Hybrid Cloud, Security and Everything as a Service. Lastly, both SYNNEX and Tech Data share strong, values-driven cultures, which we expect to build upon as a joint company of over 22,000 talented associates. ![]() The news comes after the merger between Tech Data and SYNNEX Corporation in 2021, which created an industry leader uniquely positioned to serve partners and vendors in. Third, we can further expand our offering and provide you a bigger and more robust portfolio of products, solutions, and services. 2 days ago &0183 &32 TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX) announced today that the company has now formally transitioned to the TD SYNNEX brand in its operations in Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). ![]() Second, given the complementary geographic footprints between us and Tech Data, we immediately gain a truly global presence with which to better serve you when your customers are local, regional, or worldwide. Synnex shareholders will own about 55 per cent of. The merger, which will create one of the world’s biggest IT distribution companies, comes less than a year after Apollo Global Management took Tech Data private in a deal worth 6bn. As a joint company with unparalleled scale, we will be able to provide increased value to your organization, as well as access to a larger network of vendors, products, and geographies.Īs with all our prior M&A transactions, we have looked for a partner that is the right fit for our company, and we believe that the combination with Tech Data is compelling for several reasons.įirst, we will be able to accelerate our growth trajectory beyond what we could have done by making several smaller acquisitions over a longer time. IT solutions firm Synnex Corp is to merge with peer Tech Data in a deal worth about 7.2bn (£5.2bn, 6bn). This combination will enable us to further accelerate the pace of investments and innovation to address your future needs. To that end, we believe that now is the right time to partner with Tech Data and position our combined company for future growth. SYNNEX CEO Dennis Polk sent a note out this morning:Īs you know, the pace of change within our industry has been accelerating for quite some time, and requires consistently higher levels of innovation, investment, and scale. All the finance/business nerd stuff is in the official press release, including the money guys behind the tie-up. |
