![]() Once you've failed the mission a couple of times, you'll know where everything is and you'll be able to pull it off pretty easily. ![]() Otherwise it's just a time sensitive scavenger hunt. The few missions that actually pit you against another opponent are much better and offer more of a sense of involvement. You must manage to locate certain items, hit certain switches, make certain jumps, etc. Instead of the straight competitiveness of the races, most of the missions pit you against a clock. But overall, the race portions of the game are solid.īut the mission half of things is just silly. The AI does have a few problems extricating itself from a pile up once it's started though and I did have a few problems getting pinned against a wall with another racer while the rest of the pack sped by. I mean, these guys will really muscle you out of the way and will push you into all sorts of obstacles (and there are lots of obstacles). It's not the smartest I've ever faced but these racers have an understanding of basic driving that's pretty impressive given the emphasis on physical contact in this game. It's great to have the sense of competition here and the enemy AI is pretty savvy. You and seven other cars must race around a circuit hitting key checkpoints. The racing half of the game is actually pretty engaging. It becomes less a matter of how well you can drive and more a matter of how well you can find hidden power ups and secret doors and how often you're willing to go back and retry a given level until you've found the secrets that the designers have placed there. And the game presents some ridiculous challenges. While the levels are pretty large and varied, they're too random and chaotic to be believable. Part of that might be blamed on my cynical and jaded attitude, but I think we've got to lay most of the blame on the game itself. And that's where the problem is: I don't care about what's going on. Equal parts demolition derby and vehicular manslaughter, Carmageddon translates into a whole lot of who gives a damn. You alternate checkpoint races with mission based scavenger hunts. You're a motorist with a mercenary mentality.

I did have a problem with Tidy up because it turned up so many duplicates and I didn't have a clue as to which to keep and which to dump. I already looked at Tidy Up and will look at the two applications you mentioned, chas. That will leave me with a "final" mighty chore of winnowing out the duplicates in iPhoto, in My Documents Folder and in a variety of other folders buried in strange little corners within my User Folder. ![]() Once I take that leap of faith, I will start using the larger Maxtor 500GB internal drive as my main drive and back up to my external 500GB FW drive as I've been doing all along. It's my plan to double check my alternate drives tomorrow and then erase and clone my current drive onto them. Once I have that issue out of the way, I'll have no problem erasing the other two drives and cloning them as backups. Ok, chas_m, the few picture files that aren't opening in iPhoto are listed as Photoshop Format and it says "Photoshop 3.0 is required to open this file." I need to know if by installing either CS2, which I already had but haven't installed on the MacPro or Photoshop Elements 3 which came with the Wacom Graphire Tablet I just bought, I can recover these "mystery" picture files. Oh yes, I'm pretty sure I already copied most of it onto my current hard drive, anyway. How much of that "stuff" do I really need. Files that date back to my 8500/8600/Beige G3MT and to my G5. Thinking about what I've saved in my Document Folder, it pretty much represents the same kind of "stuff" that I have said I'm going to get rid of. The files on the drives I've been afraid to erase are, I'm pretty sure, copied over to the primary Apple drive on my MacPro. Which brings me to my present computer dilemma. (I wonder if this rings a bell with anyone else? )Īnyway, as I read the article I decided I was going to start a wholesale dumping of all the magazines and as much of the other junk I've accumulated. As a result, our second bedroom, the room that I've setup as my "den" and "computer room" is stacked with 'stuff." I have saved, probably hundreds of magazines, because there was an article or two that I thought, "someday I'm going to go back and read this tip because I'm going to need it. I just read an article in Time Magazine about OCD and one of the categories was "HOARDING." I think I fit this description. Please note that Duplicate Annihilator (such a violent name!) HAS been updated to work with the new iPhoto 7 (part of iLife 08) - iPhoto Diet works with iPhoto version 6.x and earlier. Be sure to look at the file sizes of the duplicates - you don't want to get rid of the high-res image in favour of a lowly thumbnail! Once a backup has been made, use a third-party program like iPhoto Diet () or Duplicate Annihilator () to find and eliminate the dupes. If they are corrupted, they're corrupted and there's nowt you can do about it. Use Preview or some other tool to convert the rejected photos into JPEGs, and then iPhoto will accept them. Any that do not want to go into iPhoto are probably EITHER corrupted JPEG files or they are in a format iPhoto does not support, like PICT (wow, that's old!). Don't worry about duplicates right now.Ģ. Here is a link to the thread: Įdited 1 time(s). Now if I can only find an equally simple solution to sort out my hard drives… If anyone can tell me how to work my way out of this mess I'd be very grateful.Īs far as the solution that I used with Entourage, it seems to have done the trick and it really was quite simple, once I realized that I wouldn't lose any data. This is why I've been afraid to erase either of the previously backed up drives and to use them to do a backup of my current main hard drive. The big problem, and the reason I haven't been backing up, is that while I have imported most of my picture files from my two previous hard drives (one internal and one external FW) some of the pictures aren't compatible with iPhoto, so I see a file, but it says "Photoshop 3.0 is required to open this file." I'm afraid that I'll lose some valuable pictures and on top of that I have probably hundreds of duplicates from importing pictures from the two alternate drives.Įverything is such a mess and I don't know how to straighten it out. In most cases I did a fresh install of the latest version of the non-Apple applications I normally use. After that was completed I was told to move things over by drag and drop. The first method I used was to migrate everything from the G5, but that led to a number of problems which ended up having to be solved by an erase and a clean install on the MacPro's original hard drive. Since I moved from my G5 to my new MacPro there have been a number of issues stemming from my first step in making the leap. I have always backed up religiously, but I'm faced with a quandary. ![]() ![]() Buried in an earlier thread, is the following from him: It would be nice to help our forum member GeneL. ![]() Handguns to protect themselves, but then do not really learn to use the firearm Retail firearms business back in the 1970's, I found that most people buy Most rifles and shotguns in thisĬountry are purchased for hunting most handguns are not.

I have never been a fan of the stacking mechanic that Windbound uses though. Picking up the correct items unlocks recipes without much effort. Not to mention the world changes upon return.Ĭrafting is pretty straightforward. Starting that journey over at every crucial mistake dilutes the adventure. This is normal for the genre, but Windbound feels like it wants to lead players on a journey. Still, one bad move and it is back to the beginning, sometimes wiping out hours of progress. ![]() Thankfully, there are two difficulty modes, and the easier one lets players keep all their items upon death. Kara has the normal hunger and stamina meters and depleting this on a long journey across a random area can feel frustrating. ![]() Since each area is procedurally generated navigating it can become cumbersome quickly. Platforms: XB1 (reviewed), PS4, Switch, PC Sadly though, the structure of the game quickly becomes apparent, making it feel like a poor combination. The world is interesting and there is a mystery that drives players forward. Each level is a journey to move to the next section while performing the traditional survival tactics in between. Every time a player starts up a game, a new set of procedural islands are created. What it does to separate itself from the herd is create a linear story and levels to progress through. Windbound is a third-person survival game on the surface. Windbound is not the Zelda Xbox and PlayStation players were hoping for, but it is an adventure worth talking about. Still, if players can get past the initial culture shock they will discover a unique adventure with some truly inspiring moments along the way. Players will quickly realize that the focal points here are to explore, craft, and survive. This is a survival game with inspirations from the aforementioned title. The art style and combat make it easy to draw comparisons, but diving in the game definitely changes perspective quickly. Looking at a trailer for Windbound immediately evokes feelings of a certain adventure from Nintendo. ![]() Flying Cars – Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1.Fast Motion – Triangle, Up, Right, Down, L2, L1, Square.Kill self – Right, L2, Down, R1, Left, Left, R1, L1, L2, L1.Cloudy Weather – R2, X, L1, L1, L2, L2, L2, Triangle.Change Clothes – Right, Right, Left, Up, L1, L2, Left, Up, Down, Right. ![]()
There is a single player choice in the entire game, but it comes during the final boss fight and exists solely to obtain an extra Achievement/Trophy. ![]() The dialog trees, for example, don’t influence the outcome of conversations as there’s only ever one “right” reply that advances the conversation. In games with a strong narrative or exciting pacing, linearity is perfectly fine, but there’s a dishonesty to War in the North that sees it attempting to look more open than it actually is. Despite its leveling system and dialog trees, the game only makes vague and halfhearted attempts at being anything more than a linear trek from point A to B. The fact that it resembles an RPG in only the most aesthetic of ways is fairly disappointing. There’s no joy to be had in exploring Tolkien’s universe in a game this visually unremarkable, populated as it is by dull characters who have never been seen before and will never be seen again. ![]() The Rings flavor doesn’t really add anything to the game, especially with a graphically unimpressive, corridor-based representation of Middle Earth. War in the North‘s biggest problem isn’t that it’s particularly bad, it’s just that it does what a ton of other role-playing games already do, just on a far less impressive scale. is at least really good about ensuring downed players are revived, but that’s all it’s good for. that will see friendly characters’ refusing to dodge or defend themselves in any way. The game is horrible when played alone, especially with its terrible ally A.I. Due to the swarming nature of enemies and the incredibly brutal damage they can dish out, I would strongly advise against solo play. Liberally pinching role-playing elements from Dragon Age and tossing in some basic hack n’ slash combat, War in the North is a serviceable action RPG that relies heavily on its co-op to be enjoyable. The gameplay isn’t much different, doing the bare minimum to be considered decent. NPCs aren’t any different, while the main villain could be literally any other bad guy from any other second-rate fantasy story. They have no real feelings on that and no stated goals outside of the mission at hand. Its three main characters all share the same personality, and by that I mean none have have any personality, solely defined by the fact that they must fight some Orcs in the snow. While familiar faces such as Aragorn and Gandalf show up, the story feels less like a true enhancement of Tolkien’s universe and more like a shallow, paint-by-numbers presentation of the Northern territories.
