of other things this is a great article.
There is a lot of cross interest between all the model types, I personally do 4mm scale model railways, but also like building 1/72nd aircraft and also balsa rubber powered aircraft like the West Wings.
So you will see us Railway Modellers getting excited by these machines, as we also appreciate all the work put into these.
Now I am going to have to try an RC aircraft!!!!
4 stroke requires an odd number of cylinders, if you follow the cycles it makes sense.
2 strokes do not care and the compressed air engine is nearer to a 2 stroke.
That Junkers engine though - seen much better than that, search up Napier Deltic. 18 cylinders, 36 pistons, 3 cranks, triangular engine shape, normal home being in pairs, in what was originally the worlds most powerful Diesel loco, now just the UKs most powerful passenger Diesel loco.
Well I am fed up with the remains of ILR.
Started when we moved into our current house and I installed a nice FM aerial, some company bought the local radio station.
Few years later driving cross country, 3 local radio stations playing same songs, got nearer home, ours the same.
Boring.
Then now, another company bought them and they disappeared, and some stupid name one now there. Had to swap to BBC local radio and that keeps hopping to other stations which are not local to me but BBC assumes they are.
No wonder I change to CD or listen to V6 instead.
I see, so you have played a Move supported FPS for a while and found YOU can do KBM better?
Well I have played with Move enough to know that it is the best control scheme I have used with a shooter.
Trying to sprint with a keyboard - fiddly.
For a start I don't use the gun just the two controllers.
I rest my arms on a little table. Turn speed cranked up, high sensitivity.
A small movement of my wrist and I am pointing at another enemy.
I turned off any camera lock as it makes it grabby and that is counter intuitive.
Also remember that the Killzone games carry a sense of weight, no instant turns, no aim assist, not like say HL2 where you can spin Gordon around in a fraction of a second.
So before you knock Move controlled shooter, try one, put the time in to lean the control system, practise.
Yes it is good, and the only issue I had was when playing Bioshock Infinite I kept pressing the KZ3 buttons to do things.
Talking about Bioshock Infinite, before he tried Move, Ken Levine thought motion controls were a gimmick, afterwards he wanted them put in.
Portal 2 with the Move patch is so much better than twin stick controller.
If you read into it the game Ken Levine and Sixense both played was Killzone 3.
Was it in front of Bilgarsk Museum?
That was a bit tough, walking bot EMP grenades and a few Hadra rockets kills it, shoot some capacitor carrying bots near the yellow markers zip line OR anti gravity ride to right hand yellow thing, fit and shoot capacitor.
Run back into building opposite the museum. Go through side door over road through door, grab Andrenalin pack and the news with Sev & Rico in it, then run like **** to the other power lead end grabbing the capacitor.
Set Owl on the spider mines.
Shove it in and shoot, if you die when it explode checkpoint saves you.
The section after now that is hard!
One bit of advice
RUN LIKE HELL the machines are slow at aiming.
Since you carry two guns I swapped out the pistol for something more fun, used fun gun, swapped back to Kellan's rail gun, used that swapped back to the fun gun and the bloody pistol appeared, just what you need when you had a multi barrelled gatling like gun on you and a load of Yankghast coming towards you.
aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still on the second spire. so 3/4 through campaign.
And it feels odd.
Gun handling & weight is similar to 2. I really miss Move support from 3. Nice to play as a Shadow Marshall not done that since Luger in 1.
Now the bad bits.
Lucas Kellan as a child, his books were in Helghan script, as invented by Visari, the Vektans use Roman. (A-Z).
Helghast voices, they are all wrong FIVE games of them sounding like Cockney hard men, and what do we get? Yank Helghast, at least you do not feel so bad killing them now, even though they are still sort of victims.
Jorhan Stahl, why was Malcolm McDowell not used again, wrong voice again. Surely GG & Sony could have afforded it.
The wall premise, silly, by continent would have been more sensible but that was for story..
Helghast hate for name Vekta - well they called it that after the chainman of Helghan Industries.
The set pieces feel clumsy and tacked in, a litle bit like the Uncharted 3 cruise liner section.
And I have to emphasise again those Helghast accents.
And of course we all miss Visari's rousing speeches.
So I would say it feels like someone elses interpretation of a Killzone game, to be honest the PSV game Mercenary feels more Killzoney.
A good game but ultimately disappointing as a Killzone game. Enjoyed 1 2 & 3 more for campaign.
I just block news international sites so I don't get the you have to pay crap if I accidentally chose them.
The mail site is not that bad and provides another news view if you compare with other sites.
I do not read papers any more and I prefer to get news from seeing what comes up in a google news search.
As a traditional centre right tending towards libertarianism person#, I would tend toward the Conservatives on the least disliked method*. Yet what they are doing is not what I would want, and the other parties are no better.
In fact no party is trying to appeal to me, they are all tryng to put me off. Cameron needs to take a close look at some of his other MPs and see what they stood for, David Davies for a start, then there is Ken Clark, two politicians I prefer over a lot of recent ones.
I do not have to agree with a poliician to like them, Tony Benn is a good example, not a fan of his politics but he is a conviction politiician not a sound bite one - oh and he saved the Concorde project.
Some politicians though I just cannot abide, like that tit who visited Gadaffi.
# Private companies making a profit is not evil, most likely making profit for your pension. I do not want the state micromanaging my life. I do not want the state owning all the businesses, and I do know that sensible tax regimes take in more money than so called progressive ones. Yes such things as defence and NHS need to be paid for. So when they talk about 40% rather than 50% for high earners, these high earners are more likely to be UK registered for tax if they are not being ripped off.
* Basically order you want to punch them in. Milliband is more punchable than Cameron. Cameron is a well meaning fool, Milliband is just a fool.
As to UKIP, am I the only person who thinks that Farage resembles a used car salesman?
Clegg is not forgotten, well he should be, Keneddy was more likeable, so what if he had alcohol problems he is only human.
A customer got hit by Cryptolocker a couple of months ago and restored their main system from backup.
Since then backups have been overwritten.
They have now found their whole archive system is useless, corrupted and not readable.
Has anyone managed to recover data from an attack from a few months ago?
I think they are prepared to be major donors towards an assassination fund!
Power PC <> weird, X86 <> weird, X86 <> Power PC
Now to other side
Power PC <> weird, Cell = weird
The Cell was a bit of a beast and I cannot see how you could emulate a processor in the same ball park of performance as your new one. Even if the GPU side is about 10x more powerful.
Yes I don't think the CPU side is that much more powerful on either side but the GPU is massively more powerful.
Remember that the 360 was traditional GPU and CPU with both of similar performance. And the PS3 had a CPU a lot more powerful with a fast but weak GPU, but backed it up with a fast bus and the ability to off load GPU tasks to the CPU.
So neither will PS4 or XB1 be able to support their predecessors games as is.
But expect to see rewrites, but don't expect me to buy them
My exchange PS4 survived 2 hours of Killzone Shadowfall with no crash.
My postman was so excited for his XB1, but he has now bought a PS4 off Ebay inflated price despite being a bit of a Xbox fanboy.
Anyway graphics best ot worst SF, 3, 2, M, 1HD, 1, L
SP Fun 1, 3, M, SF, 2, L
MP not tested yet
So it is best looking but I had more fun blasting through the HD remake of the PS2 game, I like 2 but it is gruelling. 3 was easy on hardest setting.
Oh GG as one of the KZ3 Move users you have dropped one on, the controls are clunky.
Getting a swapped out one Tuesday.
Icon is what happened to my PS4.
I think the mains cable would not go in properly and it arced and then fried it.
Make sure those cables are fitted corrected.
managed to get it up long enough to rescue Shadow Fall and to deprimary it.
