1/7/2024 0 Comments Iron man iron warsThis is the beginning of the Iron Man story, which can be read through all the Marvel - Iron Man saga - comic books that are still being made with new stories, adventures and superhero missions that Tony Stark and his little army of iron suit warriors have to save America and not only, because in 2020, Iron Man had missions all around the world, and he did not stop there, as he is traveling through galaxies and different planets with the Avengers that you all know from the famous Marvel movie series. Once he calibrates his new mechanical heart, Tony manages to think of a really big project that nobody did before, even though any army would like to have it for their soldiers - an IRON SUIT with weapons, shields and an AI - artificial intelligence that will help the soldier that wears it be smarter, have faster responses to any danger, think faster about different solutions and even outcomes of their actions, and so Tony created Iron Man, which is a suit that is compatible only with his chest device, which makes it amazing but useless for any army that would like to make it as a mass weapon because only he has the blueprints for the chest device and for the Iron suit. Pepper is Tony's assistant which he falls in love with during each and every one of the Iron Man movies from MArvel, and she manages to get him back on track and stop him from throwing big parties and just getting drunk and making his company even bigger. Being eccentric, Tony had faith in his work like always, so the device kept him alive, and even more, it made him faster, stronger and healthier than ever, and that made Tony feel alive again and start to make some really bad decisions in his life. The time was running out on his life, so Tony Stark managed to build the device in time to save his life, even though he took a really big risk when he went under surgery to plant the STARK device in his chest, without thoroughly testing it to see if it will work and not kill him instantly. Being so smart, and having a very bad hard disease, Tony Stark started to think of his own project, which will be a device that maybe can work instead of his ill heart, so he started to develop nanodevices that are like little powerplants not bigger than a fist. Tony Stark was a genius in rising, even though he was very sick, he started to invent all kinds of cool gadgets and was a very well name in the IT and robot industry through all of his work, and all of his military contracts with the government which brought him all of his billions of dollars through his company STARK. Tony Stark is the child of a very well known scientist named Anthony Stark, and when he was little the little boy helped his father through his projects, and so he also fell in love with science, which in the future self, helped him to stay alive until now, and make all of his money. This man has enough money to do whatever he wants, but he has a deadline for doing all of that, because he is very sick, and he is almost dying from his disease. The famous comic book creator Stan Lee, the boss of the Marvel comic books has created Iron Man, which is a fictional superhero, based on the life of a very wealthy and eccentric man, named Tony Stark. Enter the world of the Iron Man SuperHero All you kids know that Tony Stark is the one who created the iron suit that any man could wear, but it's specially designed for him only, and that he started to protect the city of New York from all the dangers using the special suit that gives him special powers to fight crime.

1/6/2024 0 Comments Stranger things 3 premiereIn a teaser for the upcoming season, Netflix announced the titles of all eight episodes of Season 3.ġ0) David Harbour has a lot of ideas for Hopper in Season 3, starting with more scenes with Joe Keery, who plays Steve. Levy promised the latter would be a big reference point for Season 3.Īdditionally, the Duffer Brothers told Entertainment Weekly that six specific movies and one very famous filmmaker influenced Season 3, which they call "our most unapologetically fun season" and "our most horrifying and intense season." The movies include Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park, and the filmmaker in question is the king of body horror, David Cronenberg. It was a big summer for movies: The Goonies premiered June 7, while Back to the Future followed on July 3. Gaten Matarazzo revealed to the BBC in December 2018 that filming Season 3 felt different due to the story's "intensity." He added, "It's darker but it's funnier, and there's just a lot going on." This tracks with what Stranger Things co-creator Matt Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter right after Season 2 premiered, pointing to the need for a "clean slate" for the new season: "We didn't want to box ourselves in for Season 3."ĭuring an appearance on Good Morning America, Matarazzo added that Season 3 is "gorier" and "not for the faint of heart." Watch the full interview below.ĥ) Season 3 will take place one year after Season 2 and reference major movies of the '80s and '90s.Įxecutive producer Shawn Levy told The Hollywood Reporter in March 2018 that Season 3 of the new series would take place in the summer of 1985, a little less than a year after the events of Season 2. Now they’ll have to band together to survive, and remember that friendship is always stronger than fear. When the town’s threatened by enemies old and new, Eleven and her friends are reminded that evil never ends it evolves. Romance blossoms and complicates the group’s dynamic, and they’ll have to figure out how to grow up without growing apart. School’s out, there’s a brand-new mall in town, and the Hawkins crew are on the cusp of adulthood. There will only be eight episodes this time around (Season 2 had a total of nine), and here's how Netflix is describing the new season: It’s 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana, and summer's heating up.

On January 18, 2022, a revival of the series was announced to be in development. The series' celebrity guest stars include Chuck Mangione (playing a fictionalized version of himself), Tom Petty (playing the recurring character Lucky), Alan Rickman (playing a king at a Renaissance fair), and numerous country music artists. King of the Hill won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for seven. In 2007, it was named by Time magazine as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time. Four episodes from the final season were planned to air on Fox, but later premiered in nightly syndication from May 3 to 6, 2010. The final episode aired on Fox on September 13, 2009. A total of 259 episodes aired over the course of its 13 seasons. The show became one of Fox's longest-running series. The series' popularity led to worldwide syndication, and cable reruns currently air on FXX and Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, having aired on FX and Comedy Central in the past. The series debuted on the Fox network as a mid-season replacement in 1997, quickly becoming a success. After pitching the pilot to Fox, Judge was paired with Greg Daniels, an experienced writer who previously worked on The Simpsons. Judge began creating King of the Hill during his time making the MTV series Beavis and Butt-Head, which he also created and voiced in. The show's realistic approach seeks humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life, such as blue-collar workers, substitute teachers, the trials of puberty, and political correctness. Hank's neighbors are his longtime friends Bill Dauterive, a divorced, bald, overweight military barber and former high-school football star Dale Gribble, a paranoid, pro-gun, anti-government pest exterminator and Jeff Boomhauer, a charismatic, soft-spoken, often unintelligible bachelor. He lives in a ranch-style house with his wife Peggy, his son Bobby, his niece Luanne, and his pet bloodhound Lady Bird. Series protagonist, patriarch, and everyman Hank Hill works as assistant manager at Strickland Propane. It centers on the Hills, an American family in the fictional city of Arlen, Texas, as well as their neighbors, co-workers, relatives, classmates, friends, and acquaintances. Mike Judge has said a revival is possible, and would likely focus on aged versions of the main characters.King of the Hill is an American adult animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels for Fox that aired its original non-syndicated run from January 12, 1997, to September 13, 2009. The show ran for thirteen seasons before coming to an end in 2010. King Of The Hill featured sharp comic writing and was able to make the mundane hilarious. This animated sitcom focuses on an everyman who lives in Texas with his family and is constantly bemused by the antics of his friends and loved ones. One of his most beloved series is King Of The Hill, which arrived in 1997. He's directed cult classics like Idiocracy and Office Space and later created HBO comedy Silicon Valley. After launching his career with the latter show on MTV, Judge has been prolific. After a stay in Silicon Valley, he opted for a career change, with his animated short Frog Baseball introducing pop culture icons Beavis And Butthead. Mike Judge is best known today as a writer and director, but before joining the industry he used his physics degrees to work jobs like programming F-18 fighter jet systems. Here's a guide to the cast and characters of King Of The Hill. 1/6/2024 0 Comments Project x zone 2 ost mp3Naturally, one can't talk about a Project X Zone game without mentioning the presentation, and Project X Zone 2 absolutely delivers on this front. This gives you plenty of control over how you want each character to grow, and the limited resources means that you need to plan out how you want the party to be oriented. Additionally, there is now 'CP' earned by each character which can be spent to level up specific attacks or purchase new skills to be used in battle. In between stages, there's an 'Intermission' where players can go to a shop to buy items and gear for units. There's also more in-depth character customization options, which allows one to build teams that cater to their own playstyle. In general, fights aren't as difficult as they were in the first game, but they're still challenging enough that they don't feel easy. It's certainly doable to beat waves of enemies by just spamming attacks and taking a more basic approach to things, but there's depth here that puts a much higher skill ceiling on the whole affair. The beauty of it is that this makes for a battle system that will satisfy both newcomers and veterans. Separately, all these techniques may not change up the game too much, but together they make for a battle experience that requires finesse and attention in order to dish out the most damage per turn. Cross Hits have made a return from the first game, too, where timing a support or solo unit's attacks with yours will freeze the enemy in place in fill up the XP gauge much faster. The Mirage Cancel is another new addition, where the player can cancel a move as they're using it, get back one bar of the attack gauge, and slow down the enemy in the process. Attacks can now be charged between fights choosing not to use a certain attack during a fight means that it will have increased effectiveness when used in the next fight. Naturally, there are much more technical elements available for more skilled players. Attacking the enemy just before they hit the ground initiates a critical that both does more damage to them and gives the player more experience points at the end of the fight. Typically, each character gets to use three moves during a battle, with the goal being to chain them together in a way that allows them to juggle the enemy character. Also, standing next to an ally gives you the option to have them jump in to the battle and give you a hand in doling out some punishment.īattles are live action and demand split-second timed button presses. Attacking an enemy from the side or back allows one to do more damage, but enemies can do this to players, too. Characters move about on a grid, and placement is now of utmost importance. This helps streamline the experience and makes it much easier to plan out strategies. Instead of the confusing number system of the first game where characters and enemies went in a varying order, there are now player turns and enemy turns. Of course, the meat of this game is found in the strategic gameplay, and it's here that things can get pretty addictive. Naturally, this is used as a vehicle to introduce characters from multiple different franchises, and for the most part it works. The premise mostly follows how Shinra – a secret government organization that deals with paranormal threats – deals with a series of giant golden chains that have begun to appear across space and time. The story of Project X Zone 2 doesn't require knowledge of the events of the first game, though veterans will certainly appreciate subtle references to them. Fortunately, Project X Zone 2 pulls it off beautifully while the story may ultimately not be anything to write home about, the gameplay and presentation alone make this an accessible RPG experience that anybody should be able to enjoy. When one game includes characters, places and references to dozens of franchises from across five different companies, one must wonder whether there will be balance to all of the different parts at play. It's difficult to know what to expect out of such a massive crossover like Project X Zone 2. 1/6/2024 0 Comments Ayo the clown release dateThe Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story is a stand-alone adventure and masterful creation of visionary developer and British TV actor Adam Sklar (Cast: Henry Percy, A Discovery of Witches).īoth games have been ported in close cooperation with Eastasiasoft Limited and headlined among the most anticipated games of the publisher’s latest video showcase premier.

These signs again are paints not properly adhering, cracked, bubbled, blistered, or peeling. Only remove all old paint that is showing signs of failing. Scraping Old, Failed Paintĭo I really need to scrape paint before painting trim? And this leads to the next step, preparing your trim like a Pro. If hearing a hollow sound under paint surface, even though paint is still intact, chances are, you have air pockets. Using a 5 Way painter's tool, you can go around as many areas as you can, tapping on paint. Less likely to damage trim even more, scraping, or wire brushing old paint, when wood has dried back out. Reason for this wait is dried paint is much easier to scrape than wet. Key tip is allowing exterior to properly dry, 24 - 48 hours before any hand scraping begins. Where paint is really peeling off, or worse, visibly witnessing decay, mold, or mildew. Well, you've been actually inspecting trim, while you've been pressure washing. Similar to an artist's cleaned canvas, but only on a grandeur scale. Giving your outside surfaces a quick rinse, is like having a clean slate or canvas to work with. Have you ever gone to the car wash, rinsing off your fairly clean car or truck, seeing all the dirt coming off? Same goes for your exterior siding & trim. If You Don't Have A Pressure Washer, Can Always Rent OneĮven if you cannot see this dust, dirt, or bird droppings, it's there. Also fun, but besides not getting too close, you'll want to work from the top down. Similar to washing your new car or truck in a driveway. Pressure washing is probably the most enjoyable, easiest step preparing your exterior trim. No telling how many birds have bombarded your siding over the years. keeping spray tip at least 2' away from surfaces, you are only trying to remove any dust, dirt, or grime. Using a high pressure washer, cleaning siding & trim. Thinking you can skip an important next step, as I will explain further in article. Guiding you to clean, inspect, scrape, caulk, fill, and prime all areas needing your attention.įirst, let me say pressure washing should not be trying to peel paint. To professionally paint trim outside sufficiently, first steps listed below must be followed. Outlining proper preparedness, painting your exterior trim like a Pro Typically painted a contrasting color, different than main field color. Also exterior trim is found with skirting boards, bats. Most outside wood trim is found around windows, doors, fascias, & corner boards. Special care needs to be dealt concerning trim boards, laying out what you need to be aware of, so that paint lasts longest time possible. Understanding paint on wood trim is the first thing to fail, it's proper prep is the utmost importance, for lasting adhesion, & paint protection. Listing all acceptable steps preparing trim for upcoming paint coatings, which benefit outside trim in many ways. Knowing how to correctly prepare exterior trim for painting, will ensure final paint coating it's lasting protection & quality. How To Correctly Prep Exterior Trim For Painting The Last Stand: Aftermath tries its best to alleviate some of the mundanity of returning to a point of actual progress by allowing you to skip over individual locations once you’ve overcome a district’s climactic event. Rogue-likes are very contingent on how they carry themselves into the later game. Not to mention the external factor that you can stave off the infection with a booster shot, which comes around greatly as something you need to consider towards the late game, where having every bit of health is more important than memeing around. The interplay of purposefully infecting yourself to become an absolute weapon to hit with the force of a falling fridge, but dying if a zombie so much as coughs near you is so damn fun to mess around with. The catalyst, and the main facilitator of my big slap build though, is the mutation system that gradually infects you, decreasing your total health pool but bestowing upon you passive modifiers like +100% unarmed damage, that can also stack. There’s a skill tree that affects everything from crafting to item and fuel finding, that’s par for the course. Such is the power and variance of a well-crafted build. The second comes from the progression systems that creates opportunities for you to vary your builds run to run, to the point where I was able to conjure a beautifully destructive unarmed build that had me monster mashing with my bare hands. The first is reaching a stage of decent equipment where you can confidently mow down waves upon waves of hard-hitting enemies, all without receiving so much as a scratch. There are two points of great satisfaction that the game consistently produces throughout. The balance of looting, shooting and punching is attuned perfectly as the zombies always arrive to mix things up at the right time. It’s definitely a process, but an enjoyable one that’s kept tense and nerve wracking by the constant hordes of shambling, speedy, chonky and special undead foes. Whether that be crafting supplies, weapons (both melee and ranged) or ammo, there’s always a use for something you find. Generally in the early game you’ll arrive at a location and just scrounge around in every nook and cranny looking for useful stuff like a dog on the trail of some schmackos. This is a rogue-like, and as such is filled with randomisation of loot drops, map layouts, and progression systems so that every run offers new challenges to overcome with the toolset you find. With that said though, the carrot on the end of the stick does always seem just out of reach in a detrimental capacity, as the further you get into the game the longer it will take you to return to getting any closure to the mysteries at hand. The scarcity of plot encounters doesn’t do the allure of the mysterious signal any favours either as it becomes mostly forgettable.īut the game actually doesn’t need too many favours, as The Last Stand: Aftermath creates more enjoyment from its gameplay and progression systems, which are much more effective in making you not want to put the game down. At its heart it’s a very typical zombie plot, one that doesn’t challenge you, even to the point of seemingly not wanting to be noticed at all. Even in this context it’s incredibly sparse, with inconsequential dialogue trees occurring only in brief pre-determined areas of the districts you traverse. Being an experience that’s meant to be rinsed and repeated over and over, plot and world building are naturally very light. At the end of their roads, a group of survivors have resorted to sending their infected volunteers from the confines of their compound to seek food, information related to the governmental body H.E.R.C, and to pursue a strange radio signal beckoning out into the wasteland. |
